It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Idia Shroud from Twisted Wonderland. Or rather, I'll be talking about his social anxiety and how it's handled in the game. However, there will be a few minor spoilers. So, proceed with caution! Now then, let's get on with it! Although it's rather obvious, Idia is implied to have pretty bad social anxiety. He has trouble speaking to others, and he usually has to talk through a tablet because he struggles with it so much. He does talk a lot when it comes to certain topics, but it's usually only with topics he's really interested in. This is fine, since having social anxiety can make things really difficult. But hardly anyone in the school cares at all. They degrade him, insult him, and hardly anyone even wants him around. They pressure him into doing things he doesn't want to do, and they ignore his thoughts and feelings. It isn't just unfair, it's unbelievable. He's already struggling as it is, and most people treat him so badly that he only gets worse. There are a few people who are nice to him, but the large majority of students treat him like he shouldn't even exist. This can be seen many times with his vignettes, where he's almost always being treated poorly. People sometimes say Idia is rude, but most of the time he's just hurt, or he doesn't fully understand that what he's saying is wrong. Sometimes he does say mean things on purpose, but it's usually because he's angry. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I just think it's incredibly unfair that he's treated so badly just because he doesn't do well with people. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
