Yesterday was interesting. I was in a situation where a kid was not acting like himself. It wasn't the typical "he's trying really hard to be impressive". In fact, it was the exact opposite. It showed how much he tries to overcompensate during his normal moods. It was funny at first because he was being really goofy and crazy around us but then I thought about what he would say if he saw himself in his normal state. Thinking about it, he would probably be really embarassed and nervous. Things he has clearly been trying very very hard to repress were bubbling up to the surface through what he was saying.
It sucks when people can't just be who they are. It's hard enough to figure out who you are without fighting anything. Oh well. That's life I guess.
