Matt seemed to have no capability for basic socializing, and at first I wasn’t sure if this was because of how stoned he was all the time or if he was just inherently shy, but I soon realized that he simply didn’t care about the social contract we had all bought into—he didn’t even seem aware of his surroundings—and there was something rebellious and almost punk about this stance even though it wasn’t conscious: he simply didn’t care about how things worked; in fact he seemed defiantly un-self-conscious.
