Thought for the day
Dec. 19th, 2008 01:30 pmI think one of the most important realizations that push the transition from adolescence to adulthood is that failing to express affection for the people you care about does not make you cool.
It's not universal, obviously, because people are different (some have the opposite problem of expressing affection indiscriminately and thus making people who don't know them well uncomfortable), but that aloof demeanor is definitely one of the things I see most in teenagers, and in people who aren't teenagers anymore but haven't gotten their shit together enough to grow up.
