The only other thing he did all season was try to tell El he....oh
#the only even stretch of an argument would be that him trying to be normal was preventing him from telling her#but his emotional repression was not rooted in social pressure#(at least not any focused on in the show)#which is the explanation for that behavior to oversimplify it#so this comment was to say that not only is SOMETHING *preventing* or working against him internally but that that thing is socially frowned#upon and therefore cannot be admitted#likely why he didn't talk much in detail about it with will#the only thing he did that wasn't be proudly abnormal was attempt to and tell el he loved her#the only other thing he did was get closer to will tbh and that was NOT him taking the 'peer pressured socially acceptable' path#mike wheeler#byler proof#!#periodically i just remember this and go crazt#*crazy#the fun part about him being sidelined (for buildup but the truth stands about his role in this season from plots to screentime) is that#there are only so many options for what something like that could be describing#2. there are 2. absolute max if you're including episode 1#stranger things#byler#st cast
