#4 Am I Ugly? @ J-WAVE ARRTSIDE CAST

A shocking memory carved into a science lab desk is shared.

During their student years, there was a cruel list called the "Ugly Ranking" on a desk in the science room. After discovering their own name on it, the personality chose a counterintuitive approach: embracing the "ugly character" persona. While it was intended as a survival strategy to protect themselves, this stance began to feel increasingly misaligned as they entered adulthood.

It touches on the struggles between persona and true feelings.

From posting selfies on social media to constantly checking how they are perceived by others, the personality is perpetually grappling with self-consciousness. They describe the discomfort felt whenever people try to comfort them by saying "That's not true," and the lingering unease regarding who the "real self" actually is. The interaction with a friend shared during the episode might resonate deeply with listeners.

The core of the program is a question that arises every time one looks in the mirror.

Should one trust an objective perspective or subjective assumptions? Until the very end of the show, they continue to earnestly confront this unanswerable question. What is the right way to define oneself while living? Listen to the full episode to discover the mindset the personality has reached today.
