“Having to talk to people was one thing, but soliciting conversation was something else entirely. If I acted squirmy or didn’t make eye contact, they would want to know what was wrong, and I would have to say “nothing,” since nothing really was wrong. Nothing is an easy thing to feel but a difficult thing to express. It’s impossible to describe nothing without seeming sneaky.”
