There's probably no one who's more of a realist than the unpopular loner. I have lived my life with the Three Nevers of the Unpopular: Never to hold (hope), Never to open (your heart), and Never to treasure (sweet words). Hachiman Hikigaya More Quotes by Hachiman Hikigaya More Quotes From Hachiman Hikigaya The past makes you wanna die out of regret and future makes you depressed out of anxiety. So by elimination, the present is likely the happiest time. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime When people reach the halfway mark of a long ordeal, how do they feel? Does being only halfway there make them despair? Or do they feel relief at making it halfway there? Most people have to feel one way or the other, and both emotions create an opening in their hearts. That's why I pushed myself this far. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime You can’t take back the answer you already gave out. There’s no use in crying over spilt milk. The egg you broke won’t come back. All the horses and soldiers of a king will never return to his side again. It doesn’t matter what was said. You can never wipe away a bad impression. Even though the opposite is so simple in comparison. Just one word will make someone appear hateful. Just doing one thing would make you seem hateful. That’s why excuses are meaningless. Because even those excuses will make you look hateful. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime If wishes could be granted, if desires could be fulfilled, then I wouldn't wish or desire for anything after all. The things you're handed on a silver platter are never genuine, and never everlasting. And that is why I'll always keep searching. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime Thinking you'll understand without being told anything is an illusion.

Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime It's arrogant to think just saying things out loud is enough. Self-gratifying on the part of the speaker, and conceited on the part of the listener. You won't always come to an understanding by talking things out. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime Expecting others to read your mind is delusional. But... But... I... I..."It's not empty words I'm after. There was something else I desired all along. Not mutual understanding, friendship, companionship, or anything of the sort. I don't care about being understood. I simply wish to understand. Understand, know, and rest easy in that knowledge-- gain some peace of mind. Wanting to know people inside-out because being in the dark terrifies me is an awfully self-indulgement, egoistic, and arrogant wish. It's downright despicable and disgusting. Having a desire like that makes me sick to the stomach! But if it's at all possible to share that desire-- if it's possible to have a relationship where you're free to burden one another with that repulsive self-gratification...I know that it's out of the question! I know that it's out of my reach! Even so!" Even so, I... I want something genuine. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime There are people who can't act unless they're faced with a problem. Unless they find their reason.

Maybe I got something wrong somewhere. Only that bit of doubt stayed with me. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime What if, and this is strictly hypothetical, what if you could reload your save data to change your previous choice, like in a game? Would it change your life? The answer is a resounding no.

Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime Merits, demerits, risks, returns; if they were these things then I understood. I could understand. Desire and self-protection, hatred from jealousy. I could analyze the mentality of the actions that were grounded on these abundant, repulsive emotions. That's because I had plenty of those ugly feelings inside of me. That's why it was simple to imagine. if they were similar things, then there was still room to understand it. I could explain using logic. However, if there wasn't, then it was difficult. Without the concept of profit and loss, it was hard to imagine the feelings of people who went beyond people who went beyond logic and theory. I had too little to go on and above all else. I had committed too many mistakes up until now. Good will, friendship, or even love; they were all things I had been mistaken with. I was sure that I was mistaken with them even now as I thought about them. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime That's not exactly right. If you had to sacrifice many things to protect one, you're more likely to give up and throw it away. Including relationships you have in your hand now. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime There are some people who don't want a solution. Some want things to stay the way they are. There's no way to make things convenient for everyone. So the only option is to find a compromise. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiru-zokuanime-quotesanime Having people acknowledge your existence is a wonderful thing. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiruanime-quotesanime Everyone has something they hold dear, something they never want to lose. That's why they pretend. That's why they hide the truth. And that's why they lie. Hachiman Hikigaya yahari-ore-no-seishun-love-come-wa-machigatteiruanime-quotesanime
