Kowalski emphasizes that most people who are repressing their identities would likely be partaking in behaviors in secret, or portraying themselves in a way that was inauthentic to their true identity, but in most scenarios the behavior would not be as extreme as Cal's. He has to present himself in a certain way and, for him, it's probably making him act out in these more extreme ways." "There's probably a spectrum of realistic behavior, and I would put Cal probably on that extreme of it," Kowalski remarks, "where he probably has these very toxic masculine traits where he's expected to be a jock, where there's these stereotypes associated with that where he's not allowed to be soft or gentle or caring or understanding or show emotions. Kowalski notes that although many people with a hidden stigma may act out or behave in reckless and even self-destructive ways, it's rare that someone's behavior reaches the level of intensity that Cal's does.
