Express yourself, don’t repress yourself
"When all by myself, I can think of all kinds of clever remarks, quick comebacks to what no one said, and flashes of witty sociability with nobody. But all of this vanishes when I face someone in the flesh: I lose my intelligence, I can no longer speak, and after half an hour I just feel tired. Talking to people makes me feel like sleeping."
And I was so scared I could not see the light, I didn’t want to be alone. But you just stand there watch them hold me down, I need to know that you’re around.
