A few days ago, I met a girl on Soul. It all started because I wanted to find a partner to study front-end development together (I actually found a study partner on Soul...). And I actually found one. We exchanged a few words in the comments section, and she directly shared her QQ number. So I added her, which was quite unexpected.
I noticed that her Soul profile says she likes gentleness and has mild depression. Through our conversation, I learned that it was influenced by her ex-boyfriend. When people interact with each other for a long time, they will be influenced, right? It wasn't until I went to college that I learned about the existence of depression. The psychology class last semester made me realize that I might have it to some extent, but I was thinking too simplistically. It's not just about feeling mentally suppressed and having random thoughts. Severe depression may ultimately become uncontrollable and lead to destruction. Anyway, I hope she can overcome the darkness soon.
Today, she talked to me about her family situation again, and I was quite surprised. She didn't have a good time at home, often getting beaten by her mother over trivial matters. As a result, she developed a strong aversion towards her family. It's really painful to see, because I believe parents shouldn't treat their children like this, let alone ruthlessly extinguish the spark of their dreams. That's why she hopes to be treated with gentleness, because there's a lack of it in her life. Fate will not always favor you, but I believe that no matter how much pain and misfortune you've experienced, it will eventually lead to a beautiful ending.
I'm glad to have met you. I don't have many friends, so your presence gives me someone I can confide in.

I was quite surprised when she asked me to do a voice call right after we started chatting. It's the first time I've talked to a girl on the phone, apart from my mom. After all, I've been single for 19 years, and my emotional intelligence is in the negatives. I didn't know what to say, and my voice doesn't sound good either. I was also a bit embarrassed in front of my roommate. So after the call started, I didn't say much. It's quite embarrassing.
