That awkward moment when you kin them both...

[@anjuligerlach7386]

After watching this video I have concluded that Todd and I are one and the same.

[@anjuligerlach7386]

The only difference is that I'm usually ok with answering in class because that's always been like my safe place, but socially, we're exactly the same. When I answer in class it's like I'm not actually me for some reason, but socially, I am completely inept.

[@anjuligerlach7386]

I'm only ok when I actually raise my hand though. When the teacher calls on me I'm a mess. Anyways, I'm sorry for being annoying.

[@zoeejade]

@@anjuligerlach7386 you arent annoying! i genuinely am like a mix of neil, todd, and charlie. i don’t even know, in some classes i have panic attacks about presenting and being called on, and in others i’m always shouting out, making the class laugh, and volunteering. and then socially i’m really outgoing in some situations and others i’m like haha can’t do this

Put a finger down if you watched DPS and cried, and now you're watching edits to make yourself feel better, but you've decided to watch one about Todd and his anxiety, and now you realise that you relate to him on a personal level. **puts a finger down** All anxious, gay, dead poets are welcome in this society

@hanshotfirstbutiwont too soon

[@dylananthonyriley254]

Yeah, know the feeling. I have been told that I live in a high state of constant anxiety. I have always been the shy boy in class, and I believe that I always will be. But frankly, that’s not always a bad thing to be. Just a bit of friendly advice if you want. Someone once told me that “ fear is a superpower, it can make you kind “. That’s not alway the case, but for me it is. Perhaps you’ll feel better if you can remember that.

[@joanjung915]

todd looking at his watch for no reason when he's feeling awkward and don't know what to do is such a great detail

[@lovelynothingness9759]

oh my! i never noticed todd with his desk set in the scene where he unpacks his bag. the epitome of awkwardness.

why do i relate to this on a spiritual level. i was todd in school, as a quiet/introverted anxious ace teen who only felt visible (yet vulnerable and exposed) in writing and poetry.

[@thatghosthauntingyou6643]

[@KayCookLyrics]

i was literally so surprised the first time i watched DPS this year, todd's story were exactly describing how my life story was in an all girls boarding school back in 2018. and yes i have an extreme social anxiety

i'm a new student, whereas everyone been knew each other since they were kids and also bcs their parents were alumnis there. and yes my parents were the one who insist to put me in that boarding school

[@zeenoyb]

Remember Neil had his own unhappiness too. Wishing you can be like someone else is a dangerous thing.. Recognise where you are now and take little steps or none at all, either way I dunno. He wasn't happy either. People are saying they wish he was like him but he had his own fear, it just wasn't a social anxiety kind and that fear consumed him. We all have our types of fear. Things that hold us down. A part of being alive is learning to move past that, little by little bit by bit. Yeah.
