    “Some kids like to play, others just sort of wait for adulthood”
    This was my childhood summed up in a sentence.

      Did anyone check to see if there was trauma going on in his family? I was like this and it was almost certainly a response to all the dysfunction. Look up the “lost child” or “invisible child” role in narcissistic, addicted or otherwise dysfunctional family systems and this pretty much nails it.

      @weedman I loooove (/s) how people say this like it’s more on kids like this than it is on the indoctrinated little brats who would “whoop his ass.” Those kids’ parents have a lot more reckoning to do with themselves than this one’s. It’s wild that some people think it’s more excusable for a kid to be a violent shithead than to be sensitive.

    this is one of my favorite snl sketches of all time because, i shit you not, once had “a well for the backyard” on my christmas list when i (15 M) was like 8 for this *exact* reason.
    i also was crying one time when i was little and tried doing that thing disney princess do (when they laying face down on their bed crying into their arms) and then sat up after a few seconds and thought “how to they breathe???” and just cried normally.

    I was a lot like that kid. Being a sensitive kid is not fun as you are very introspective and not nearly as outgoing as a lot of other more well socialized kids. But, you can then laugh at things like this. My mom bought me a typewriter (this was in the 80's) so I could type up my feelings. it helped. People thought I was sad but I was not. I was just introspective and an introvert. I thought a lot about everything to the point of being overwhelmed. I am happy kids like this are now more understood.

      Could you imagine how many straight-up childfree adults would just have one in the far corner of their bedrooms? Like imagine how many millions of adults would have these versus only tens of thousands of kids.

    I was a little girl, but I look sad and thoughtful in most of my childhood pictures. My first memory is leaning against a bus window, crying, while raindrops traced rivulets on the glass. I definitely would have appreciated the well.
    My mom appreciated her weird little kid and never tried to make me be more "normal". I'm so grateful.
