I was a teenager whom people would try something like that with, and it was weird. Teenagers don't really want to reconnect with their inner child; they're trying to establish themselves as adult.
But I appreciate where you're coming from.
Gosh, memories of teen days have become faint to this here ancient of days....
My first memory impulse (filtered through unavoidable inner analysis, of course) is I was in a state of, um, let's call it "hypnotic automatism".
My second is to wonder how to stop the thought that I'm likely more in that state now than I ever was then.... >_<
