"Jon, we are not the same."
Looking at the sincerity in Lohat's eyes, Jon suddenly felt that Lohat was not as sad as before.
He became very calm.
Now, Lohat was describing this matter to Jon with a reasonable and normal emotion.
Describing his own past, and at the same time, exposing the scars in his heart.
This was a very difficult thing to do, and Jon was well aware of it.
Everyone had a past, and those who looked incomparably bright had a past that sometimes made people feel incomparably sad. However, these people didn't show that they were very sad. Instead, they used a kind of disguise to show their incomparable happiness to the people around them.
"Actually, I have tried to self-heal. Jon, have you heard of a person called Adler?"
Jon shook his head blankly. He had never studied the history of magic well, and he rarely paid attention to famous people in the magic world.
"Adler is not a Wizard. He is a scholar in the world of Muggle."
Chown listened attentively. Firstly, there was no mobile phone, secondly, there was no computer, and thirdly, there was no internet. He couldn't go on Mac or Zero Degrees to search for who this person was. The only good thing was to listen to Lockhart.
He would just treat it as a lesson. After all, Lohat's lessons were always like this.
"You don't know Adler, but you must have heard of Freud, right?"
This time, Jon nodded frantically. The name of this master of psychology was like thunder in his ears. How could he not have heard of him?
"Adler's full name is Alfred Adler. He is Freud's good friend, and also an Austrian psychiatrist."
Was Freud an Austrian?
Jon thought to himself. He only knew that Freud was a westerner, but he had never looked into the details of where he came from.
After all, he did not study psychology.
However, Lohat's current situation was easy to understand. He had been overly expected by his mother since he was young, but after becoming a Wizard, he found that he had not reached the state where he could satisfy his mother's expectations. Therefore, he began to try as many ways as possible to improve his external image and influence. This way, he could satisfy himself and his mother's vanity.
This kind of mentality was like expressing an attitude to the people around him — Look, I'm still very outstanding.
"This is where my problem lies. I grew up under my mother's high expectations. After coming to Hogwarts, I suddenly found that I was not the special one. I was just an ordinary little Wizard, so it triggered my denial of myself and my mother, and then led me to only want to get attention for myself. Maybe this is also a kind of inferiority complex."
Lockhart said, "The Adler I just told you about is a person I heard of when I was traveling in the Muggle society. He once put forward a theory. That theory said that my problem is a psychological problem, a pathological compensation phenomenon caused by the existence of my inferiority complex and superiority complex at the same time. When I was overcoming the inferiority complex when I first entered the world of magic, I used improper methods, which led to the situation that caused my inferiority complex. In other words, my mother did not make any changes, which led to the situation that caused my inferiority complex to become more and more intense. At the same time, I gradually immersed myself in the fake prosperity that I created. Even though many people were disgusted with me, I did not stop. "
It was obvious that Lockhart had been holding these heartfelt words in his heart for a very long time. Now that he could finally say them out loud, he felt as if he had spat them out in one go.
Jon did not think too much about his negative emotions. He just wanted to be a listener, to listen to Lohat's troubles. Anyway, Dumbledore only used him as a tool, so who would be his tool?
If he was Lohat's tool, at least he could listen to these secrets that others did not know.
It was much better than being Dumbledore's tool and not receiving any compensation from Snape.
"After graduating from Hogwarts, I started to enter the Wizard Society. But you know my personality back then, it was very difficult for me to put down my status and do something that could not bring me glory."
"But why not consider some jobs that could bring you great fame? For example, being a musician or a singer. "
Lohat shook his head.
"Of course I've thought about these jobs. But Jon, I don't have the talent. Do you think I became a writer because of my talent in literature?
Not at all.
I became a writer because being a writer was the only job I could choose. It does not require basic musical skills and a perfect voice like being a singer, nor does it require a very sensitive political sense like being a politician. As long as you have an exciting story and are willing to put in the effort to train your writing skills, it will bring you great fame. "
To put it bluntly, it was because Lohat was a little lazy.
Because in the example he gave, only writers could become famous through the fastest way. To the Wizard Society who had inherited the ancient traditions of the magical world, their requirements for entertainment were very primitive. Because they did not have many electronic products like Muggle Society and did not have much time to go to the theater to watch performances, supporting their favorite writers to buy books became the easiest thing to do.
Especially when Lohat targeted his target audience at the housewife community. It had to be said that even Jon felt that Lohat was born to be famous.
He was indeed a person who was willing to sacrifice a lot to become famous.
"But I'm also deeply troubled, aren't I?"
Lockhart mocked himself. "After becoming famous, I realized that having too much fame isn't a good thing. Not only will I often be investigated by my fans, I can't even guarantee my own safety. Those middle-aged wizards can't control their wives' hearts, but they want to put the blame on me. It's obvious that they don't have the ability to do so, okay?"
"But these things are no longer important to me now. I've now made up my mind to come to the Hogwarts according to Dumbledore's plan to help him finish this show, and then leave my current life. What Lohat has experienced before has nothing to do with me.
By the way, Jon, if I become the Defense Against Black Magic professor, shouldn't you change the way you address me? "
Looking at Lohat's serious expression, Jon raised his eyebrows, sighed helplessly, and chuckled.
"Well, dear Professor Lohat."
