I've noticed recently that I've always tended to 'pretend' to not know about something, or know how to do something, so someone can teach me about/how to do them.

For example, I've slept over at 3 different places (3 different friends invited me).. but each time I went over to someone else's for the first time, I told them that I'd never slept over any anyone's houses before. I liked the attention, and I liked seeing how excited they got that they were supposedly the first to show me what a sleepover was like.

For another example, if someone doesn't know that I've seen something, even though I have, I'll pretend I haven't so they can show me, and I fake a reaction. I watched a whole movie with my family acting clueless and pretending I didn't know what was happening next. For another example, my friends mentioned something NSFW at rehearsals and I pretended I didn't get the joke because I didn't know what something was. They'd act all shocked then explain to me, and I'd have to pretend to be grossed out or laugh, depending on the joke or comment.

I don't wanna be like one of those 'WHAT DO I HAVE?? AM I MESSED UP??' people, but I am just genuinely curious if this is connected to some underlying explanation, like I just like seeing people happy to teach me, or it's part of me that hates that i had to grow up as a child so im reliving my childhood now, or something like that.

two notes about me:  
i have been professionally diagnosed with Severe Depression, Severe Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, and PTSD  
(not sure if that'll help with anything)

I am really hi (🍃) right now, so if any part of this doesn't make sense, please let me know so I can explain when I'm in my right mind.
