Meet the wounds inside me
A time like a gift of hugs

"Prescription for Clumsy Adults" exudes warmth no matter which page you open.
This is thanks to the author's sincere heart for life and happiness.
Although it is short, it is full of laughter and emotion, and the lingering feeling is due to the author's efforts in adding and subtracting.
But the biggest reason is that not all stories were written by the author alone, but were created through communication with readers through social media.
With this, 『Prescription for Clumsy Adults』 is full of stories that everyone can nod their head to and relate to.

Pretend to be okay
Pretend it's not like that
Pretending to be well off
That's how I lived.

I thought it would be okay if I hid it,
I thought it would disappear if I covered it,
I thought it would disappear if I hid it.
_From the text

I think empathy means being able to understand the situation.
That is, since I have had similar experiences, I can understand the other person's feelings.
The same goes for our attitude towards wounds.
Many people pretend to be okay on the outside and try to act calm.
But if you look inside, you will see that it is on the verge of bursting after enduring it for so long.
And yet, they are so busy taking care of other people.
So, the question, “Is this really okay?” makes my nose tingle.


Therefore, the author recommends taking care of yourself first.
This is not selfish, but the most basic condition for understanding others, communicating with others, and taking care of others.
If you are feeling difficult in your current relationships, I encourage you to talk to yourself.
It means taking the time to look into the wounds within me and honestly ask and answer what is causing me pain.
This will give you a more peaceful daily life than you have now.


Manage your self-esteem that has been hurt by others
Emotion Study Guide

Emotions are signals that we want to be seen.
Emotions are signals that we want to be recognized.

Emotions disappear when they are met.
Emotions need to be acknowledged to disappear.
_From the text

There is a famous advertising copy that says, 'I know even if you don't say it.'
But now, it is an era where you don't know unless you say it.
Could it be any different from 'emotion'?
We face a whirlwind of emotions, both positive and negative, dozens of times a day.
But when negative feelings arise, think about whether you have ever tried to suppress them.
Let's also see if we have ever felt any discomfort because of it.
I'm sure you've all felt this at least once in your life, but if you can't express your feelings, you can feel frustrated and even suffer inside.
But what if you confide in someone about your feelings?
It feels like 10 years of congestion is going away, and I feel refreshed.
Yes, that's right.
That's what emotions are like.
It is a being that becomes calm when you look at it and understand it.


So the author says not to hide your emotions, but to express them accurately and with a mind to take care of yourself.
Perhaps the inability to express one's feelings accurately is a sad self-image that has become a habit of being mindful of others in the name of consideration.
So, before my emotions manifest in a worse way, why don't I try to meet my emotions, understand them, and express them, even if it's awkward?

For adults who find love difficult
The Key to Wise Love and Its Instruction Manual

When you're good at something, you like it.
Being good at fighting is loving.

Rather than giving them what they like,
Love is letting go when you fight.
_From the text

If there is one problem that has remained unsolved since the birth of mankind, it is the problem of men and women.
Because I cry and laugh in love.
But why do so many couples who meet because they like each other end up worse off than others? Perhaps it's because no one taught them about love.
Because of that, you have to learn by directly bumping into things like heading to the bare ground, so you can't help but be very clumsy.


But if you knew just one secret the author shares, you might be able to love with less difficulty than you do now.
That's right, it's about being 'good' at fighting.
Most people think that they like you when you treat them well, but what's more important is how you treat your opponent when you fight.
Don't they often say, "A man's character is revealed when he fights?"


If you want to keep your current love, I hope you will set up your own love constitution by sharing things like what I should do when I'm angry, what you should do when you're angry, what I should try to do when we're both angry, what you should try to do, and what you should absolutely not do, as the author recommends.
