An incomplete list of the ways I relate to Finn, movies and Before the Awakening canon:
- Is recovering from emotional abuse with all the messiness the process implies
- Was a promising and high-achieving student, yet never felt like he belonged
- Tried to win acceptance and friendship by helping someone
- Walked away from an abusive situation
- Ended up throwing away a lot of stability and certainty as a result
- Fell in love with his best friend
- Confronted his abuser and threw her in the trash
(This was only metaphorical in my case) - Traumatically bonded with someone who was being toxic to him
