The most painful part of growing up is discovering how vulnerable caring for someone can make us.
These new horizons - loves, drives, things you only see or hear about in films - create an abyss of insecurity: not knowing what the other person is thinking, not knowing if you are being reciprocated, creates an indefinable terror and an unacceptable weakness. It is the age of the first intimate wounds, in a deep emotional illiteracy.
As a guy, you think the only way is to hide in your masculinity, to show superiority over the feminine world that makes them so fragile. As a girl, the weight of young men's judgment is enormous. And in a small suburban reality, the worst thing that can happen to you is to be stigmatized for every little mistake. Hence, there is a willingness to appear superior, ruthlessly aloof, virile, impervious to disappointment. And in this desperate dynamic of self-assertion, you hurt and get hurt. And here we get to our story.
