Cognitive Dissonance

Children enrolled in high school who spend most of their spare time playing video games on their consoles and computers, along with watching live streams and Japanese animations, generally make the most comments about "getting hoes and money." They're always the most critical as well as the most defensive. If you ask me, it's apparent they're desperate to constantly compensate for lingering insecurities by trying to uphold an artificial persona. I imagine that sort of cognitive dissonance can be especially burdensome.
