The acclaimed revival of Kenneth Lonergan’s This Is Our Youth is dazzling critics and audiences at the Cort Theatre. It’s a show for anyone who has ever been young and lost—at certain times frighteningly so. No seriously, watching Michael Cera’s Warren is like watching a cringe-worthy version of yourself on stage. Like do we have a case, because Warren, as played by Cera, is us and all of our friends. Below are nine ways we are all Michael Cera’s Warren in This Is Our Youth.

1. He’s Bad with Money

Warren blew through thousands of dollars in about 48 hours. And it wasn’t even his money!

2. He’s Super Awkward Around His Crush

3. He Then Lives Outside His Means to Impress Said Crush

Champagne? Sure! Penthouse at the Plaza? Why not! …Where did all the money go…

4. Warren Is Not the Most Athletic

Hand/eye coordination is overrated.

5. He Keeps His Childhood Toys for Too Long

That one is self explanatory, and if you still don’t have at least one toy or stuffed animal from childhood, you’re a monster.

6. He Doesn’t Know What to Do With His Hands

Under the shirt? In the pockets? What’s less weird? Where do the hands go?! Ah.

7. Warren Depends on Friends & Family to Survive

Whether it's friends’ connections and support or the family’s money, he can’t do this whole adulthood thing alone.

8. And Then There’s the Trap of Staying Friends with the Wrong People for Too Long

9. Warren's Dance Moves Aren’t the Coolest

We all wish we could dance like Tavi Gevinson but when it comes time to bust a move, it’s pure Cera.
