usu: person uses excessive havior to cover up how she/he really feels bc feeling that might be perceived as unacceptable by others in society.
wants to do crack, gives talks about how people who do crack should be shunned
(diff from altruism bc here, hope is to cover up a desire)
or angry at wife, tells her she looks great
short-term, immature, eventually breaks down

Q
describe polyol pathway
A
glucose -> sorbitol
consume NADPH -> NADP+
via: aldose reductase
sorbitol -> fructose
consume NAD+ -> NADH
via: sorbitol dehydrogenase
note: retina, renal papilla, schwann cells have much less sorbitol dehydrogenase activity: prone to osmotic damage w/ glucose overload
