Though BoJack, the protagonist, felt that he alone was experiencing pain, he learned that others, too, can suffer and get hurt. It is through acknowledging these emotions that we get closer to our first step in overcoming challenges. Pain and sadness aren’t meant to be dealt with alone all the time.
