Kirk ’s father said that Kirk has always been a very positive child and has enjoyed growing up. However, when talking to him now, maybe he will laugh wildly uncontrollably.

MissouriBobby Rich, a truck driver who once took pride in his masculinity, was troubled by tears that shed without saying hello.
On a normal working day, when Bobby unloaded the goods behind the truck, he lost consciousness and the goods collapsed, all hitting his head.
After he was discharged from the hospital, he found a simple TV advertisement. His son was not a special word. The eyes of the dogs in the family would make him have a strong urge to cry.
Unwilling to lose, he returned to the driver’s seat, only to discover those sudden emotions, which made him unable to brake, shift gears and maintain concentration.
After meeting countless doctors and neuroscientists, Bobby got the same message: “You are done in this life, you can never drive again.”
Some friends and family around said that Bobby is like you. We have no way to get along with you. You have to learn to control yourself, otherwise we can only keep our distance. In this way he lost some friends and was forced to alienate some family members.
Bobby, who grew up in a truck repair shop and a driver ’s father’s father, does n’t like going out anymore. He always tears at every turn, making him think, “I do n’t look like a man”.
His wife Susan said, “I find it difficult. I feel like meeting a new Bobby every day. I can’t help often.”

Maybe you who read this article don’t know PBA as well, but everyone knows loneliness.
To this day, how many people have become nomadic people in modern cities. They do n’t get the approval of their family members. They feel different and lonely among their colleagues.
The worst thing about PBA is that it pushes that loneliness to the extreme.
Even if you are surrounded by people who love you, even if your emotions have a strong resonance with everyone, you will still feel lonely and socially lonely.
Imagine facing all helplessness, sadness, anger and even despair, you can only laugh wildly. What a strange pain.
Similarly, at the most inadvertent and blandest moment, you have no reason to cry into a tearful person, how helpless and fragile it is.
All your joy and sorrow,Must all look the same.
Comparatively, most ordinary people do n’t realize that people ’s true emotions and physical feedback are not completely synchronized. In the case of PBA, the most extreme contrast is presented.
And these patients really need to be understood and accepted. They did nothing wrong. It was just because of a complication after brain injury or nerve injury that they began to be misunderstood and alienated by so-called normal people. .
A casual look at the related issues on Zhihu reveals that many people actually have such problems, but don’t know what to do.
People at a lower level are obviously very nervous, but they will burst into laughter when they speak in the class. Not only does no one come out to resolve the embarrassment, they are collectively accused by the teacher and classmates.
In more serious cases, when my grandmother died, my grandfather laughed uncontrollably before the death, or when he obtained a marriage vow, his wife was clearly overwhelmed, but in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau staff, she couldn’t help it. Crying so much that her husband couldn’t let go.
These moments of confusion or pain have caused embarrassment among family members, or cast some shadows on important moments.
In a documentary, a PBA patient said, “People should understand what I look like and try to accept, but they don’t.”
It’s like the closed valley was suddenly cut open, and the wind came in endlessly.
Most of us can do nothing but a little more awe of this pain.
Excuse me, they didn’t mean to offend.
