- 28. Guys try to stay in that box and can never really be who they truly are. When I moved here I always tried to be in the box and be cool but it never worked out and always made me miserable. I'm sure that if the box wasn't there I wouldn't slack so much in school because people who try hard in school get made fun of and are lower on the social scale. So many guys are scared to say or act certain ways because of this box. The worst part is that guys try to deny it. We don't want to admit that we have problems. I put on a mask every day and mask my insecurities, secretly wishing I could take it off. Monday, May 12, 2014
