It's not a rant about the members I promise:
I have seen too many cases like this in real life and its...difficult to say the least. Many people are diferent so the case for each person is different; some people you have to show them another way because they believe that love or relationships are like that, they are abused but they stay because they believe love is that way, and when you show them another way you have to be careful otherwise it would lead to the opposite; you are right if you push some of them they can self harm more, but if you leave them they can still self harm because they believe they are in the right path and eventually it would lead to harm (in most cases where they stay it can be viewed as self harm, but unconscious self harm becayse the other person is hurting them but they believe it is normal for someone to hurt them so even if they change partners they would look for someone else that is the same).
I think that in the manga (and many others) it shoes a lot of culture about showbiz and Asian countries ... well a lot of Asia, and especially in the showbiz industry, they dont really go to therapy, there have been documantaroes where they talk about it. Since it is not normal in this manga, or well also as a plot device I guess, they didnt present therapy as a way to help him. Telling people not to do something is not the right way most of the time since they are used to living in that way so you have to show them how to live another way, especially victims of an abused home or relatio ship. You can't force them but in cases like this a mandatory therapy session would have helped him a lot.
You can’t help someone that doesn’t want to be helped.
Tags the same reason why a lot of couples where one is an addict end up breaking up.
There’s a breaking point, and if they tried to help even though they didn’t know what was going on and they kept being rejected, eventually they’d wear down and stop trying.
The only true villain and the only one at fault is Jaeha.
He needs to go down in flames.
Yeah unfortunately not everyone wants to get help, and even more unfortunately sometimes the job that you do as a psychologist is not enough. I have had people switch to me and I have referenced people towards someone else because sometimes what you do damages more than helps.
Some left because they didnt like it, others because they didnt want help and others because they where afraid to continue. That's why every case is different, some break up, some stay, some hurt themselves, some hurt others and some just stop.
Damn that was dark, sorry it was an off day for me today with my job. I will have to read light hearted things for a while. If you have recommendations I will gladly read them.
Light hearted BL?

My X Report
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/my_x_report/

I remember reading the novel a while ago (I don’t remember the ending). So I’m confused for the hate of the group members. Did the manhwa change what happened in the novel or are ppl still mad at the wrong ppl.
It’s already been explained that nearly all of the members except the pink haired one, didn’t know the exact reason about what OG mc was going through. They TRIED to get close and find out but it was always OG mc that would push them away. OG mc would literally be in terror about the members being close to him or lightly having contact with him. OG mc wouldn’t even let his group member stay in their shared room. The members didn’t want to trigger him despite being worried about him. Their boss KNEW exactly what OG mc was going through and he even offered to HELP, but OG mc rejected it. You literally can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. I feel like many have never experienced this irl and think just cause you try your best to help someone, it’ll all work out. If they resist help then you really can’t do anything. OG mc was fully aware that the ex was bad and would hurt him, but he didn’t care and still kept doing what he wanted because he was in love with him to the very end.
I swear yall are acting like OG mc blatantly asked for help from the members and was rejected when that’s clearly not the case. All ppl’s anger is about “you didn’t do enough!!” Idk but I feel like if any of yall experienced this irl and the person was easily triggered by ppl getting close, your logic would only make it worse and send them into a panic attack.
