Question from a reader:
I heard Osugi-san say that Nakai Masahiro has “selfish aspects.” However, he also mentioned on Waratte Iitomo that he wanted to change the day of the week because he didn’t like it. It makes me wonder if Osugi-san himself might be a bit selfish. What do you think?
Thoughts on Osugi-san and Nakai Masahiro
Recently, I was
prompted to think about what Osugi-san said regarding Nakai Masahiro. His comment about Nakai having “selfish aspects” has generated quite a bit of discussion. It’s true that Osugi-san himself requested a change to the day of Waratte Iitomo!, which raises some contradictions in his statements.
Is Osugi-san being selfish? Or is there a valid reason behind it?
Observing Osugi-san’s behavior, I can’t deny that he also has his own selfish tendencies. While he gets along well with big names like Tamori-san, he expresses very straightforward opinions about Nakai-san, creating a certain complexity in their relationship. Personally, there was a time when I thought, “This person is a bit of a hassle,” regarding a friend. I struggled with how to manage that relationship and eventually decided to create some distance, which turned out to be quite refreshing. It’s possible that working with Nakai-san was a source of stress for Osugi-san as well.
The psychology of being rejected and the complexities of relationships
As mentioned in user comments, it’s common for those who feel rejected to speak ill of the other person. I’ve found myself doing this after a breakup, only to realize later that I was emotionally reactive. Osugi-san’s discussions about sexual harassment and unsolicited advances might also reflect some of these dynamics. However, working with someone you dislike can be quite challenging. Therefore, suggesting a change in the day of the week seems like a natural course of action.
Relationships are complex, but no one is perfect
Ultimately, human relationships are incredibly complex. Neither Osugi-san nor Nakai-san is perfect; everyone has their flaws. We often reflect on our own shortcomings when we notice issues in others, but the key is figuring out how to navigate these complexities effectively. Do any of you have similar experiences or moments where you’ve recognized your own selfishness in your relationships? Feel free to share in the comments!
