Hypersensitivity: wearing a studded shirt, the same one everyone wears.
Not understanding why no one seems to suffer from the hundreds of studs on their skin.
Understanding one day that the problem isn’t the insensitivity of others to the studs in the shirt,
but the studded shirt.
Understanding that it’s futile to expect the skin to thicken, that on the contrary, it can only end up in shreds.
One day, removing the studded shirt.
Voilà.
