Reviewing your “takes” while ignoring the signs of both Kyōko’s and Minori’s apparent dismissals of both Asa’s & Makio’s feelings and inputs may mean three things you haven’t personally been diagnosed for in both NPD symptoms and/or traumas.

The fact Asa couldn’t believe Makio because Minori always lied and flippantly ignored Asa’s decisions, shows me that either you were abused by an NPD, or you really really need one right now.

Either way, if it comes out you’re normal, no trauma, etc., that therapist can guide better see these signs of dismissals and neglect.

I sympathize with Makio greatly, because she doesn’t see that she distanced herself from both, because of NPD abuse. I 🙏 Kazunari Touno, the attorney, can recommended them all three therapists.

To suggest that I have a disorder (and to get treated for it!) based on these words is uncalled for.

My personal take aligns more closely with what others have already said

i.e. Makio is more selfless than the relatives:

she didn’t stop to think about the sacrifices she was going to have to make at all

The thing is,

this is just my subjective opinion that is biased towards the protagonist, Makio

this is such an obvious interpretation that makes for a simplistic narrative

Either, I don’t see the need to parrot others by offering the same comment dressed-up differently.

IMO it is more meaningful to offer a more “objective”, “neutral” take (which is still subjective at the end of the day) that doesn’t automatically paint the relatives in a bad light while putting a halo over Makio.

There are too many symptoms of groupthink on social media already, Lemmy included. It’s important to consider other perspectives instead of just your own.

  I specified two more things, that only a licensed therapist can diagnose. So in good wishes and health, seek it!
  
  Regarding this anime adaptation, homo sapiens that grow emotional intelligence, have the capacity to show concerns for strangers and innocent alike. I would find it pretty normal to be selfless when a teenager has lost their support system.
  
  Or do you think Asa deserves to be sent on an orphanage?
