Tenenbaum had a difficult childhood
What makes a person think they are a deer? There are a variety of reasons why people act the way they do. Tenenbaum did not have an easy upbringing. He struggled to make friends since he was socially shy. He did, however, discover his love for nature and the great outdoors.
