Skins (Series 3, Episode 7)

      ...JJ's a really insecure character in Skins. It seems like he's never really had friends apart from Freddie and Cook because nobody is willing to bother getting to know someone as strange as him. So when the two best friends start fighting JJ has no idea what to do with himself. He doesn't know how to fix his problems because he has all kinds of insecurities keeping him from doing what he wishes he could, the main one being how awkward he is in social situations. He's resigned himself to the fact that he's autistic and therefore incapable of doing the things he would consider normal. Near the beginning of the episode (about 10 minutes in) He's sitting outside with Emily after visiting his psychiatrist and telling her how he wishes he could be normal for just one day. 
   "I'd lose my virginity first, several times. Then I'd have a choc-y-nut milkshake without going into anaphylactic shock. Then I'd tell Freddie and Cook to stop fighting over Effy before they hate each other forever and not make me take sides, and they'd listen to me for once and not fucking ruffle my hair. And then I'd tell Effy I loved her and lose my virginity a few more times."
   The rest of the episode shows him trying his best to ask for stuff and fulfill his definition of normal.
   JJ is quite similar to the person in my flash fiction because he's felt that there are expectations in his life (him being normal) and that he's not living up to them properly. It's part of the reason why he avoids confrontation, he doesn't feel like anyone will bother listening to him because he's not on the same level as everyone else around him...
