[@silver21] [@Stanifly] [@Auragreedia] You guys are largely correct!

Wesley/Westbound grew up pretty isolated. His mother was the bread winner of the family and worked a lot. That usually meant Wesley was often under the care of someone else when he was little, but once he hit a certain age he more or less took care of himself. The father wasn't present for most of his life, and what he does remember is of him using corporal punishment on him "for no reason." 

It is unknown if Wesley/Wesbound is actually on the spectrum, because he has never been diagnosed, however he (and other members of the maternal side of his family) has displayed traits of it. He has high Neuroticism, and as such, he's constantly battling with anxiety, depression, sudden outbursts of anger (though one could say this is more because of his father's parental methods), and low self-esteem/worth.  

Another thing to note is that Wesley has a mixed background and actually knows more than one language. But that came with its own set of difficulties when communicating with others who only spoke one language. 

All this combined, Wesley has struggled with communication on various levels and forms, and has learned, more or less to bottle things up. When he was younger, he expressed himself through the arts, but as he got older he had less time to do these things and eventually stopped doing arts all together.

While Wesley can be considered an introvert, he actually likes hanging out with people (he in fact strongly craves it when he hasn't spoken/texted someone for days), and he doesn't mind being in busy places, but this comes from extreme loneliness.

The massive disconnect with the conversations in his Catharsis is based on my personal experience, bumped up to 10. I've had many instances where I meant to say/write one thing, but then when I look back on it, I realized how it was taken another way 😭 One example is actually when I said:

[quote=@Tlazolteotl]On the flip side, is it frustrating to see bad grammar? ... Cause I may be guilty of that 😂[/quote]

In my head, I meant that [b]I[/b] was guilty of using bad grammar... but then I realized later on that it sounded like I get frustrated at seeing bad grammar 😭

So yeah... communication's hard.
