Self - The Other Person - Advice
A journey of a protagonist who, lost in a dense fog of self-doubt, learns to confront a disrespectful wind with the cool sword of reason, drawing a healthy boundary line.
Protagonist (You)
A delicate and considerate person, but introverted, often hiding their own pain to accommodate others.
The Other Person (Source of Conflict)
Not malicious, but direct and impulsive, unaware that they are encroaching on others' boundaries.
Scene 1
Am I being too sensitive?
A dense fog covers your heart this night. You stand before a murky lake, gazing at your own rippling reflection. 'Am I being too sensitive?' Every word, every action from the other person feels like a thorn, yet you find yourself blaming your own heart.
Scene 2
The Unseen Path
Here, where even the moonlight is faint, it's hard to know what is real. You can't tell if your feelings are a valid reaction or just a phantom created by your anxiety. This confusion makes you retreat further into yourself.
Scene 3
A Wind Without Warning
And then it happens. A harsh wind sweeps into your space without warning. The other person's words and actions pour down, giving you no time to think. It may not be malicious, but this reckless energy is enough to shatter your peace.
Scene 4
The Scars of Sharp Words
They say the wind just passes by, but your forest has been left in disarray. It seems they don't realize that their 'honesty' can be disrespectful to you. The discomfort you feel isn't because you're too sensitive. It is a natural response to disrespect.
Scene 5
The Power to Clear the Fog
It is time to stop hiding in the fog, to stop simply enduring. What you need is not the patience to suppress your emotions, but the cool reason to see the situation clearly. Wipe your tears, lift your head, and face the direction the wind is coming from.
Scene 6
A Clear Declaration of Boundaries
What you hold in your hand is not a sharp sword, but a firm boundary. Say the words, 'This far, and no further.' It's not about getting angry, but about protecting your space with logical, clear language. That line will keep you safe.
Scene 7
A Space for Myself
Once the line is drawn, the fog lifts as if by magic. The other person can no longer cross it recklessly. Finally, your world becomes calm and clear again. You weren't being too sensitive. You were simply becoming a wise person who knows how to protect themselves.
