| Show, Don't Tell, as I understand it, suggests that rather than overtly telling the reader how Joe was feeling and whether or not he was lying, the writer should show that with the contextual clues.

| I've struggled with this at times as well. I find that it gets worse for me whenever I lack external structures and routines (i.e. school or in-person work). When I enter situations in which I lack some level of predictability, I find comfort in obsessing over my interests. Sometimes my mind believe... |

Well, culturally / ethnically / racially? Absolutely not. I come from a multiracial family and upbringing, they're pretty chill as far as that goes.

| Hi, I haven't posted in centuries (old accounts from when I was probably way too young for online forums).
