Talk:So Much for My Complexion!/@comment-31077845-20170212171842/@comment-26394749-20180725182118

I think the protagonist is just insane. It IS listed under the mental illness category, after all. This is also something a paranoid-delusional person would see. My grandfather on my father's side was diagnosed with paranoid-delusional disorder, and some of the shit he said sounded like stuff from a horror story. Stuff that he'd have to have been REALLY stupid not to see at first if he weren't mentally ill. One time he shot himself in the chest because he claimed his wife told him his heart was made of worms. My grandmother was perfectly sane (she's senile now, but she was sane) and would never do that. The dumbass batshit crazy person that was my paternal grandfather finally killed himself with a gunshot to the head, screaming to my parents that the giant insects wouldn't stop melting his flesh. Crazy people can imagine crazy things. I'm so glad all this happened before I was born. This psycho would have likely scared the crap out of me. The one picture I've seen of him...well, he just LOOKS nuts. Buggy eyes, no hygiene...ugh. Sadly, my parents were forced to witness all of this, as well as my grandmother. She's probably grateful for her senility right now. Hah.
