And if this involvement in sports was really his way of overcompensating for feelings of inferiority, then I'd imagine that this would create a lot of anger or identity confusion, resentment, and depression, especially if he thought that this was permanent.

Okay, so I can certainly touch on the psychological impact of this on a surface level, but someone in the disability community would really be able to speak to the impact of this on a deeper level. But Oscar spent his life trying to have the same advantages as able-bodied people. And he not only achieves that, but he excels, only to be questioned about whether or not he has an unfair advantage.

This could feel like a constant form of discrimination that Oscar feels he has little control over. Not to mention the way that they scrutinized his body. That was very invasive. And it's probably a feeling that he's felt for most of his life. If we approach this scenario from a conflict standpoint, it would likely feel like a lose-lose conflict.

Like no matter what he does, there's always some form of criticism. So what we know about the resolution of a lose-lose conflict is that most people approach them with a lot of ambivalence and uncertainty, but once they decide which route to take, They are deeply invested. They are all in on that decision as it fits its own form of cognitive dissonance.

In this case, Oscar has beliefs about himself that are being contradicted by society. So it would make sense that in order to resolve that discomfort, he will stand firm on his beliefs until they're no longer being contradicted. Of course, this is also an example of his tenacity and speaks a lot to his personality.

On the surface, this sounds like his rise to fame is all positive. He's getting brand recognition and the admiration of millions of people. He's inspiring others, and he's also being recognized as a desirable bachelor. Ordinarily, this isn't something to automatically pathologize, but this is Murderous Minds, and we know where this leads. So

Circling back to his childhood, we know that Oscar's mother was making every effort she could to ensure that Oscar did not feel different in or outside the home. And remember how I said that her intentions, no matter how good they were, might have been a detriment? The quote he referenced about the real loser really showcases that could be possible.
