I haven’t seen Obsession yet; I’m planning to go see it on Sunday with my friends, but reading this has made me even more intrigued about the film. Although I love that he is self-aware and willing to change, I still think struggling with rejection like that is a major character flaw. Sometimes, when we get rejected, it feels like it’s a very personal thing directly tied to our biggest insecurities, and, for some, that feeling is too hard to process, so they take it out on the person who’s forcing them into that position. The thing, to me, is that nobody is really putting you in that position when they reject you. The problem starts when we make rejection a personal attack. We should try to understand rejection as something that happens to everyone, even if they’re beautiful, successful, talented, etcétera.
