It is very difficult to regain that quality, so much so that it seems like I am acting 'out of character' now...when in fact, it is how I have always been.
Proabably didn't explain that too well, but it is a case of being subjudgated into something that one is not - and soon, you begin to believe it.

Think of "Tommy"....
You hit the nail on the head, I can relate to you on so many levels with that. My
first girlfriend was so immature, I think she brought me down. I had a way different sense of humour than her, and she was always making stupid jokes or something, and I would be like what are you talking about, and she would say your no fun or something. So I learned to laugh at her goofy comments. And it pissed me off for so long, till I just said fuck it, you're so stupid! (well not that mean.)

Probably doesn't make any sense to you but it really made me fill that same feeling.
