Getting Old Quickly

128. Man In The Box


Listen Later

In Episode 128, Billy Donnelly travels back to his high school days (for the first time since Episode 15 - The Horrors of My High School Experience) to recall the first time he indeed remembers struggling to fit in. He discusses his difficulty in fitting neatly into certain identity boxes and/or labels that may have made it easier for him to be accepted in social circles. However, he talks about his lifelong fight to not be just one thing and the consequences that can result from not being easy to explain and comprehend to others. He wonders sometimes if it would have been easier to just "play the game," but, with that, wouldn't he then be trading in his true authentic self for just another set of problems as someone else? In addition, he also mentions how he jinxed himself the week prior by talking about how good he felt; this week, that's not the case.
