"acting" is... ugh. I've taken acting classes, after that, I concluded that it's probably the least appealing way of making a living, IMO. I wasn't intending to make it my profession, I had my reasons, but that whole shitshow is very abnormal. "acting" is literally pretending to be or becoming insane, it's purposefully damaging your own psyche to appear something you are not and to project emotion that isn't yours.
