What kind of psychological course did Simba go through in The Lion King?

Each of us knows who we are, but we don't know who we are.

Just like Simba in The Lion King, she was crowned the role of the Lion King at birth. His life is to keep the forest safe, which is his role and his responsibility.

However, when he was confused by his uncle and thought that he was the chief culprit of his father's death, this shame would not be admitted by his family, Simba chickened out.

He chose to escape, because only escape can save him and leave his last dignity.

But this guilt has been tearing him apart. He felt that if it weren't for him, his father wouldn't have died and he wouldn't have been rejected by his family. If he had not taken the responsibility of the king, and was not a descendant of the king, this would not have happened.

Responsibility at this time is the source of pain for him.

When he was tired from walking, he fell in the desert and was burnt by the sun. This punishment made him feel relieved, so even if he was pecked by a bird, he didn't want to move again. Now he has no desire to live.

However, reality did not make him successful. The appearance of Pumbaa and Timon saved Simba, which was not only a realistic rescue, but found a new place in his heart full of regret and guilt.

In Pumbaa and Timon's carefree hearts, there is no sense of responsibility, as long as they are happy inside. Abandoning the old me is the antidote for Simba to break free. It turns out that they can still live like this. Those responsibilities, those rules and regulations, those feelings of guilt can be completely eliminated, as long as you are happy, there is no need to care so much.

However, in Pumbaa's world, there are no predators. People can only eat worms if they want to eat meat. Simba, who abandoned his identity, can only do as the Romans do and enjoy catching more bugs for everyone.

And that part of the discarded self was really discarded by him? No, he just held back and dared not touch it again. If it is really discarded, I think he will tell Pumbaa and Timon everything about his past. He didn't say it, but he deliberately concealed it.

Once he has a secret in his heart, he can't be really happy. After all, he can't reach the realm of Pumbaa and Timon, and a casual teasing from a friend can make Simba feel lost.

He lost himself, didn't know who he was, and didn't dare to think about this painful problem.

He forgot himself, but others didn't. When his family was destroyed and Nana escaped, she found that Simba was still alive. She saw the hope of life, and she wanted to take Simba back to get everything that belonged to him.

However, Simba refused, or he refused to face his past self. When the old ape-man took Simba across the water to see himself, his conversation with his father was actually a conversation with his abandoned self.

When he reconciled with his past self, he knew who he was, and then he exuded the original male strength, because at this time, he dared to take responsibility and found himself. ...

Although it was an animation, it saw us in Simba's body. When we were young, we also knew who we were, what we liked and what we didn't like, but under the restriction and influence of our parents and the outside world, we gradually lost ourselves. Only by suppressing our own truth can we become good children, good friends and good colleagues in the eyes of others ... and we can live a better life.

Some people may never look for their true self again all their lives, because they don't want to break the illusory beauty, while others can't stand such themselves, so they slowly find their repressed self. Although the process is painful, they are also reborn.

Just like Simba, if you dare to face the past and make peace with yourself, you will have strength.
