    You got lucky then. I think most of the ones doing it either want to sound important or don’t want to feel left out so they’re faking, but a bunch of folks get swept up in something like mass hysteria and really think they did it. You see that a bunch in things like teen conferences where there’s just a load of kids swept up in a feeling.

    Those folks are the true believers. They may fake it later but they really feel like they did something that first time and they would do anything trying to get that feeling back.

      Lucky I got out, yes. But it took another 12 years and no shortage of heartbreak. Childhood indoctrination doesn’t leave easily.
