Since the age of 5, Michael Jackson has been singing on stage under the instruction of his father. This tyrannical father made the children tremble.

"My father often looked at my nose and said, Oh my God, this nose is so big. I didn't inherit this from me." Michael Jackson said that these comments made him very embarrassed, "I want to hide myself, I wish I could die. But I still have to go on stage and accept others' scrutiny."

In 1981, Michael Jackson had his first rhinoplasty surgery, and he has pursued plastic surgery ever since. The pace of perfection cannot be stopped.

Everyone is more or less dissatisfied with some aspect of their appearance, but if they really want to go under the knife, cut, or mend their bodies, not many people have the courage to do such a thing. Decide.

So, if a person who has undergone plastic surgery as many as ten times does not hate his appearance to the extent that he hates it, it is difficult to imagine that he would be willing to endure the pain of plastic surgery repeatedly. The psychiatrist said that Jackson's tragedy is a tragedy for the family and a tragedy for society. His family and the American society at the time together created such a talented but demon-ridden genius singer.

In Jackson’s history of plastic surgery, we can find that there are two areas that he regarded as an eyesore and did not hesitate to work on them repeatedly: nose and skin color. His nose had undergone six surgeries, which even caused it to collapse; and his skin color changed from black to white.

Jackson has a long history of feeling inferior about his nose. In an interview, he revealed that his father often mocked his nose when he was a child and gave him the nickname "garlic nose." So much so that every time his brothers wanted to make fun of him, they would inevitably pull out his big nose, which Jackson said made him feel "very scary" at the time.

To be honest, Jackson's nose bridge was indeed a bit wide when he was young, but it was not to an outrageous degree. However, under the constant ridicule from his father and brothers, Jackson's nose became bigger and bigger and uglier in his own eyes, which made him unbearable, so that by the time he was 23 years old, he He eagerly underwent the first rhinoplasty surgery in his life, which opened the first page of his long plastic surgery history.

A father who always makes fun of his children's shortcomings will never be a qualified good father, and the image of his father can even be described as disgusting in the eyes of the young Jackson. During an interview with an American TV station, Michael Jackson once covered his face and cried while recalling his childhood memories. He said that his father, Joseph, was very rough and authoritarian. He required Jackson to obey him absolutely. He not only verbally humiliated his son, but also resorted to violence. He would often throw something at home, no matter what, on him. Belts, furniture, or even the iron at home. All this made Jackson hateful and cast an everlasting shadow on his young mind.

According to research in child development psychology, if a child lives in an environment full of love and care and can often receive praise and praise from his family, he will become more and more confident; and a child who often Children who are scolded, beaten and scolded are bound to become inferior and sensitive. Because the psychological characteristic of children is "inward attribution", because young children lack the ability to distinguish, they will easily associate all the experiences they encounter with themselves. When a child receives meticulous care, he will feel that he is particularly powerful and valuable; conversely, when a child is often neglected or abused, he will think that he is not good enough or outstanding enough. To the love of family.

In the latter case, children will be more sensitive to their own shortcomings and more vulnerable to ridicule and ridicule by others. Because he will further believe that it is precisely because of his shortcomings that he was abandoned by his family. Jackson probably attributed all of his father's rudeness to him and his brother's ridicule to his "garlic nose".

Fortunately, the first rhinoplasty surgery was very successful, making his originally slightly wide nose straighter and accentuating the entire facial lines. is more handsome.

An unexpected thing happened. After Jackson's successful rhinoplasty surgery, his father also performed the same surgery as him to straighten his nose. This is a very interesting phenomenon - people who always dislike their children's noses turn out to be very dissatisfied with their own noses!

Situations that seem unexpected actually happen often in life. If we have a very low self-esteem about some of our shortcomings, we will often deliberately ignore our shortcomings out of self-protection to avoid the feeling of inferiority. But once there is a person with the same shortcomings around us, we will particularly dislike this person. Because we are reflected in him, we have to relive all the bad feelings such as inferiority and depression caused by this shortcoming. We either choose to avoid the person or, if avoidance is unavoidable, attack him instead. Only by doing our best to ridicule him can we vent our own strong inner inferiority and uneasiness, just like Jackson's father did to Jackson. Therefore, when Jackson's father laughed at Jackson's nose, he was actually venting his dissatisfaction with his own nose. But while he was doing this, he planted a deep seed of bitterness in his son's heart.

It was also in the second year of the rhinoplasty surgery that Jackson released his second solo album "thriller", which received unprecedented critical acclaim. Success, becoming the best-selling album in the history of world recording, pushing Jackson to the peak of his career.

Individual behavior is regulated by feedback. When a person performs a certain behavior and receives positive feedback, he or she will strengthen or repeat the behavior in order to obtain another reward; conversely, if a certain behavior receives negative feedback, the behavior will be weakened or reduced in order to avoid punishment. kind of behavior. This is also the theoretical basis of behavior modification therapy.

The successful Jackson was showered with flowers and applause wherever he went, and was enthusiastically pursued by tens of millions of people. If his father's brutal abuse as a child dug a deep hole in his heart, the fans' love for him filled the hole. It's just that he is extremely lacking in love and care, and the pit in his heart is more like a bottomless black hole that can never be filled. However, he is extremely obsessed with this feeling of being surrounded by people, so much so that he is even willing to do anything to achieve it. Keep this feeling to make up for the missing love in your childhood.

How to keep all this gained? Thinking that he had achieved unprecedented success after undergoing plastic surgery, and then comparing it to the various abuses he suffered as a child (that is, before plastic surgery), Jackson was bound to associate plastic surgery with success. As a result, he repeatedly went to war on his face and body, and as his career continued to decline and his popularity faded, plastic surgery became more frequent and crazier.

At this time, he seemed to have returned to the miserable situation of his childhood. His various bizarre behaviors are not so much a singer pleasing his fans, but more like a helpless child desperately begging for mercy in the face of his parents who are about to abandon him.

As for why Jackson bleached his skin, some people accused him of betraying his own race. However, if you consider the social background of his birth and childhood in the United States, it is It is not difficult to understand his behavior. Jackson was born in 1958. In the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, the apartheid system was still implemented. Black people suffered from white discrimination and were excluded from mainstream society (Martin Luther King's famous speech "I Have a Dream" was at that time published). It can be said that Jackson was ridiculed by his father and brothers at home because of his "big nose", and suffered more serious discrimination and unfair treatment outside because of his "dark skin."

If the family and social environment in childhood deprive a person of the ability to be confident and self-loving, when he grows up and seeks the love and care of others, he will completely lose himself, just to cater to others. .

The tragedy of Jackson is the tragedy of a family and the tragedy of a society. His family and the American society at that time together created such a gifted singer who was talented but haunted by inner demons; today's tragic music had already been composed in his childhood.
