I was reading an article on the psychology of drag queens.
One interesting fact is that males that dress as females for drag do have lower self-esteem than other gay men, but their self-esteem rises when they perform. This is not to say that all drag queens have low self-esteem or join to gain more, but some experience performing in drag as good for their sense of self-worth.
Many boys experience anxiety about public speaking. In part, this is because he wants to do a great job. But an internal voice (really, a critic) raises concerns that he is not strong enough, prepared enough, or qualified enough. And, this is compounded by the fear of being negatively evaluated by the audience, and/or that something will go wrong during the talk.
No wonder that boy in the photo you posted wears the mask of a drag queen so that he can hide behind it. Poor thing. Get a life boy!
