When someone gets you right but gets you right at the wrong depth, the discomfort sits in a place you cannot quite name. They see the version of you that performs well at dinner parties, the one who knows how to make people laugh, and they mistake that skill for the whole story. What stings is how accurate they are about a layer that matters so much less than they think it does. You have been practicing something more honest than charm for years now, and the compliment lands like applause for a song you stopped wanting to sing.
