How do we stop hating ourselves?
That's the big question this episode poses. Because of all the mistakes he's made and relationships that have been ruined, BoJack is now afraid to make even the tiniest decision that can possibly get misjudged or criticized. And a lot of the time, it's not even what he might be told in person that scares him the most. Rather, it's what people *wouldn't* tell him. They'd talk behind his back, think about how untrustworthy and worthless he is. And this in turn makes BoJack think that he's worthless himself.
But we can never predict the exact outcome of something. We're not mindreaders or psychics. A lot of life is devoted to guessing, which can gave a lot of us severe anxiety since we don't know which decision will be the right one every time.
I think about and relate to BoJack's thoughts in here so much it's creepy. I wish I *didn't* relate to them, but I can't deny I do. By addressing the subject of self-hatred so frankly however (The drawings throughout are wonderful), we can hopefully reach a healing process inside ourselves.
Yes, sometimes the worst does happen. And it sucks. There is no way you can ever reverse what you did either.
So how do I stop feeling like a stupid piece of shít?
You're not provided with any answers, but it's a beautiful piece of psychological art.
