Maybe I'm making this up or projecting but there's this kid I coach and when we interact I get the feeling that she's thinking to begin to explain to you what's going on in my head would require a tremendous amount of energy and a tremendous amount of faith in you that you're going to listen and try to understand and instead I'm just going to say 'beans'. And then she says 'beans'.

Which sounds kind of pretentious but I don't think there's any like weariness or disillusionment to her. I think it might just be how it is.
