“My main struggle this year is that I feel like I have a certain expectation I have to uphold for people. I’ve given people an expectation of who I am and I feel like I’m letting someone down if I don’t meet that expectation. I’m scared to say anything that would go against that expectation. So I feel like I’m less social than I was in the past because I’ve been trying to maintain my self-set expectation. I want to be perceived as intelligent and I want to be perceived as mature. And, I kind of have that mantra in my head all the time.”
