u/Character-Extent-750

Is it just me or every single time I see someone I know, I always get scared to wave like it would be incredibly embarassing if they didn’t wave back and ignored me. I don’t know why I get so stressed out, but how do I stop feeling anxious about it because everytime I pass by someone I just ignore them and pretend I don’t see them and its obvious. A main problem is that I have low-self esteem and I’m really self loathing so thats an additional factor that makes it more anxiety inducing because what if they feel the same way about me.

As someone who adores this movie, I can see why many people dislike it. The movie has beautiful animation like every other Studio Ghibli movie and Anna has lots of mature character depth. I like how freeform the story is and how we get to experience Marnie’s backstory, but the main problem I have is the plot-twist. I understand its based off a book, but I feel like with where the story was going it should’ve been more creative more with Anna’s depression and how Marnie helped her with her mental health without the story making Marnie her grandmother It felt so out of pocket. Based on some reviews I read, most of them including me thought they were lesbian so it caught me off guard even more with them calling each other “their little secret”. Still in my top 5 since I relate to the story, but damn… it could’ve been a masterpiece.
