Social Stresses

I’m arranging lunch right now with a friend from a school in Wales, whom I havent seen in 17 years. I remember him as being an extremely sweet, gentle person from Thailand, who rarely spoke up in groups.

In my dream, I’m at a conference for work. I look on the conference website, and there’s my friend, shirtless, acting like a punk rock star in front of everyone. He seems very well liked, but like an extreme character. I start worrying about meeting him in front of colleagues, and how that might affect me professionally.
