tfw youāre reminded that Nick more or less explicitly covers up his low self-esteem in canon by referring to himself as trash/garbage/scrap in a wry and joking tone, but that the longer you hang around him, the more you hear him do it, the clearer it becomes that heās fixated on the idea and that he really isnāt joking in any way whatsoever.Ā
tfw youāre reminded that Nick is a smooth operator who is confident in his abilities, but who has a cripplingly slender grasp on his own sense of legitimacy as a person, and that he hates his body to the point of being the only companion aside from Danse who will refuse to let you put him in new clothes.Ā
tfw youāre reminded that Nick, despite being most SoSuās most profound source of emotional and psychological support, is not at all okay, but he doesnāt get much help because he doesnāt let anyone know that heās struggling.
I feel like Nick having low self-esteem is a topic that is addressed far too little and tbh we need to address it more
