He preferred solitude versus interacting with either his father or mother, practicing perfect aggressive passive posture whereby one or the other parent hurled curses. Non-social trademark characteristic thwarted him joining in any reindeer games, being withdrawn and undersized overlaid with figurative veneer of anxiety and a submucosal cleft palate to boot condemned him to lapse into comfortably numb state of isolation and loneliness.
