Counterfactual Identity

Getting back home from eating breakfast with my girlfriend
Leaving to hangout with my friends for the rest of the day
  1. What I tried to do with this experiment is going dressed differently to hang out with a group of buddies at their house who usually see me like once every two weeks maybe even more, and what I wear around them in my head are comfortable clothes like just a pair of vans, some blue jeans, a black or red long sleeve, and a jean or bomber jacket but for this experiment, I went in the full suit that I got for graduation to see how they would react.
  2. The reaction was priceless as I knocked on their door to come in and they immediately just gave me a weird look like I had done something wrong but all I was doing was wearing a suit with my hair comb after the glances we proceeded with the night and it finally got to the point where they asked me why I was wearing the suit. At this point, I asked them the question as to what my major was based on my appearance and what did they think of me the majority told me I looked like a pre-law major who had to be at court at some point that night or a business major that had an internship that night. Another thing was that they were treating me the same with a suit which I expected since were all long time friends and appearances do not really matter to them.
  3. In conclusion, the reaction was the big factor when they saw me for the first time that night they looked so confused and wondered why I was evening wearing such a thing to a casual event like hanging out at their house but the thing I really wanted to get out of them was them treating me or them acting different but they did not do that.
