Goffman says we wear these masks to make everyone else comfortable. Like you and your suits.
We're not talking about my clothes again.
Your suit is your uniform you wear to fit in at Quantico.
I don't want to fit in.
Everyone is trying to fit in.

My "hippie" thing?
Your peasant tops, long hair, bracelets, leather sandals. Helps you assimilate on campus.
Right. It's exactly the same.
What would you wear if no one were looking?
Probably nothing. What about you?
I'd wear my suit.
