The stigmatized individual is asked to act so as to imply neither that his burden is heavy nor that bearing it has made him different from us; at the same time he must keep himself at that remove from us which assures our painlessly being able to confirm this belief about him.

A PHANTOM ACCEPTANCE is thus allowed to provide the base for a PHANTOM NORMALCY.
