For those of you who aren&#8217;t playing the crap out of the game right now, a Persona 4 shadow would be the side of yourself that you deny, which is probably, you know, mean or evil. I feel like I should, you know, throw the question out to the crowd, but at the same time, asking the internets &#8220;Hey, what&#8217;s my bad qualities?&#8221; seems potentially stupid of me. Heh.<br \/>\nBut yeah, the part of me I deny. I mean, the obvious thing is my masculinity, and if you&#8217;d, you know, caught me some years ago and threw me into the backside of the TV, that totally would have been it. I feel, though, I&#8217;m much more accepting of that kinda thing now. I still get hits of depression about it from time to time, but in general, I accept it.<br \/>\nThe other thing, I suppose, is my anger, but at the same time. I think I realize how much I hate, you know? I try my best to hide it to most people, but that&#8217;s just because I don&#8217;t want to bother them with it. (and also because, if I get mad at anything, my parents act like I got mad at them) Like, if you asked me, I think I would be quite honest about that.<br \/>\nI guess I really comes down to how the TV world really works. Is it always something you&#8217;re denying to yourself? Or is it just something you&#8217;re denying to the world? It&#8217;s seemed like things you&#8217;re denying to yourself, and on that front, I really do think I&#8217;m pretty&#8230; good. I&#8217;m pretty good on that front. I mean, there are things I am uncomfortable with, but I&#8217;m not about to say they don&#8217;t exist, I suppose. But who knows, maybe I do have something. The whole point of denying it would be that I don&#8217;t really know it, eh?<br \/>\nYou know, now that I think about it, perhaps my thing I deny is my need for control. Often I want attention exactly when I want it, and not before or after. Constantly wish I had control of my life (even though I do, really) and wish people would listen to me or do things, you know, not stupidly. (at least in my eyes) Maybe that&#8217;s what my shadow would focus on&#8230; my need to control the whole world.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows, really. The important thing, though, is that Persona 4 is awesome, and that I am awesome.
