My comment regarding possibly shorter posts was about times touching grass when it’s hot outside. Not this one.

In a little bit more plain language, still as polite as the teachers were:

The teacher was like: "Now, the camp fire is finished, we all go to bed now, but the boys stay here for a few minutes and... water it." (Picture: https://www.istockphoto.com/es/foto/la-famosa-estatua-del-manneken-pis-el-s%C3%ADmbolo-de-bruselas-b%C3%A9lgica-gm1460248010-494467284 :)

Me like: "aww they have fun there, while us, we go to bed now, which is boring", which made me feel inside like when a lady needs a bathroom, the fun is over, and also, in combination with the chance I missed on that mountain 2 years before:

* Stress (any sort of) means you need bathrooms. (I was able to reduce stress wherever I could, but if not, then ... need a break, come late, feel bad about it)

* Boys have somewhat weird discussion topics, seperating them from girls. (Not true.)

* Β»If I'm up to take another chance in life, whatsoever, I need to be prepared, perfect at phrasing and speaking, and gonna have to either hurry or worry my life away.Β«

The latter is true, but it does not have to feel like stress. It's fun, and this is how it should be!

If I understand this essay correctly, you conducted a root cause analysis on a perceived flaw in your behavior; and the analysis has not yet revealed the root cause of what you perceive as something like self flaws, mysteries (eg why do I feel/behave this way?), or curiosities.

If my perception is inaccurate, then I ask (If - Then);

- was it not a root cause analysis?

- did you identify the root cause?

The essay is an interesting way to describe the journey and I expect it can help others who wonder why they behave the way they do.

I know what I would advise my children and siblings if they exhibited similar behaviors or took similar journeys.

It was, and I am almost sure it did.
