Naruto as the C-PTSD icon

[LeonLaviu]

I don't know if any of you are into anime, but Naruto, the character, is the ultimate C-PTSD survivor


I know it's fiction, but I think he has a very inspiring story. From a lonely orphan boy that always felt left out and got mistreated by his whole village, to becoming the most beloved autorithy figure.

He gets to the heart of his "enemies" by being vulnerable, being emphatic and speaking his truth.

It's beautiful to see him mature as the story advances, from a mischivious boy that wants to be the leader of the village to be important and feel seen. To becoming a sensible and diplomatic young boy that wants to become the leader to protect his village and find peace in war times.

There's also another character called Gaara, that starts very unhinged as a villain, and has the saddest backstory, the most toxic and abusive family, only someone like Naruto, that has a similar upbringing, could understand him and really change his life

I cried my eyes out watching that part

I really recomend it

That sounds like something I would really like to see.
