I don't think it's the same thing but maybe I interpreted it wrong.
All I see here is that, he went from thinking about his father to realizing they weren't the same and that their relationship would hold his partner behind. İt's not about being afraid of love, he's just dumb
he is not dumb. It is insecurity. His past make him like that. I have similar past and I tend to avoid getting close to people who grow up with love or who have people loving them.
The mindset is, "They deserve to be happy, they won't be happy with me I have to leave." or "I would never make them happy with this kind of background", or "His future is promising, mine is pitch black. Must never drag him in". Running away become a habit and yeaaahhh, it is bad.
I can relate with Makoto because I feel it all the time when people tried to get close to me. Or I tend to put distance when I know that someone have promising life, unlike me. Because I don't want to ruin their life.
Damn too long! Hahahaaa anyway, I do wish Makoto to talk it out as well. I wish he can break the insecurities. Communication matter, I know
Man i can relate a lot to this comment :,)
Bruh what about this is insecurity, the only insecurity there is here is the one his ex feels from the unreasonable break up
To be honest, I will do the same if I were Makoto. For some people, love is just impossible, and when someone loving them, they are too scared to hurt that people feeling and future. That's why I always close my heart and never let anyone in.
Sound pathetic? Yes, maybe. But it's real.
However, I do wish that Makoto and Fudou will find a solution to this matter, good ending in a romance is a dream for me, I'd like to see that happen (=・ω・=)
