Between Tofu Mentality and Steel Mentality
This might be a bit of a prank for those who are truly sensitive, but lately, I've been going through a period of really wild mood swings and suddenly thought: "Let's give a name to the mentality that lies between 'Tofu Mentality' and 'Steel Mentality'." It's probably a topic many of you have thought about. Tofu Mentality (Silken Tofu) Tofu Mentality (Firm Tofu) Fried Tofu Mentality (Slightly increased external defense due to heating) 【 This is probably where the difference lies 】 Konjac Mentality (Quite high defense, and even if you get really down, you can bounce back with konjac-like elasticity) Steel Mentality (Doesn't get discouraged in the first place) When I usually describe myself as having a "Fried Tofu Mentality" (when I'm feeling down), I mostly get a "Huh????" back. (Like, "It's not even tofu to begin with, is it?") So, I reply, "Fine, I'll just call it Konjac Mentality then." It seems common for people to describe Tofu Mentality as Silken or Firm Tofu, right! Anyone else have interesting mentality expressions? Let me know!

Konjac mental sounds elastic. Mine might be more like dried, hardened sweet potato mental. It feels like it could snap with just a little impact.

Rice cracker mental. A mental state that's harder than konjac, but shatters into pieces and becomes irreparable once it takes damage exceeding its durability.
