It seems most people are afraid to be their true self bc they don't wanna stand out, yet a lot of people make the "oddball" in series and movies their favorite character.
I think that people identify more closely to those types because it's a reflection of their true self, yet they're afraid to be that way in real life. Some may wish they could be more like those characters but are too shy
@JohnnyNoir I express mine pretty openly aswell, but not all aspects of it. Just enough to know what's real and what's not and not become a permanent member of the looney bin squad
