"Distancing yourself from others, acting like you're above them or that you just don't care. How could this way of living ever be the correct one? You can't hope for a genuine connection if you're afraid of getting hurt or hurting others. If you truly care about other people then getting hurt is inevitable. But that's not something to be sad about. The pain and struggles you'll go though just means that it was in fact, genuine. It wouldn't be otherwise."

Sounds simple right? You have to open yourself up and hope that others will reciprocate those feelings. Easy isn't it?

It's not. This is the single fact that needs to be learned by Hachiman in OreGairu. But yet, he can't do it. And it's not just him, a lot of us can't. OreGairu shows us, the audience the value of finding genuine connections with other people. It shows us that they're worth fighting for even if it's scary not knowing how things will turn out.

This anime has taught me one of the most life changing lessons in my entire life. And now I'll search for something genuine too.
