Every day in school I put on such a good NT suit that I'm mistaken for a very logical NT. But this tires the heck out of me and I'm thinking of stopping the suit and being truly me. Has the suit worked so well the suit has almost become me or is it something else?

I was the same way when I was your age. I'd put on an NT mask in school so that my peers wouldn't be able to find out there was something wrong with me. During my home hours, I'd be myself completely until I had to go to school, again. I hated school with a passion as a result.

The social part for me. The classwork is interesting
