Mob's growth through out the series tells us that invalidating those feelings or pretending to be someone you're not will never help you in the long run, at some point you will reach your limit.
Everyone has different sides to themselves, but everyone is capable of change, and the first step to change is to accept and grow from that. Your own power comes from being true and authentic to yourself and like-minded people will love and accept you for who you are.

"Who's your favorite character?"
My all-time favorite is Mob / Shigeo Kageyama, I relate to him so much and seeing him break out of the cycle of supressing him emotions and accepting himself wholly makes me so emotional I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
My favorite side characters are Tenga Onigawara and Tome Kurata, both are so passionate about their interests and they're so silly and goofy and kind.
.... As for Reigen.. I really have the strong urge to kill him and I hate him and he's so ugly (this is all affectionate)
"Any character pairings you like?"
This is too hard to answer, everytime i read someone's essay about two charater's dynamic they become my favorite...
"When did you get into the show?"
In 2019, one of my cousins made me watch the first season but I wasn't really that interested until 2022 when season 3 came out. In the present day (2026), I draw the characters all the time and I love them so much and I bring my Mob (and Reigen) plushie everywhere with me.
Look at Them.
