It seems to me that you, guys, are being a bit hard with yourselves.
You all are dealing the best as possible with your avoidance. It's necessary you try to do and behave as normal people as much as possible bc this is the best way for your well-being. There are people who are unable to do it. So, I would give you a cookie.

By the way, it doesn't mean that you are being a false persona. Most of people, put the best of themselves in society and the ones who don't, let me tell you that sometimes stink. I consider it a lack of respect.
