Quiz: Which ‘Overcompensating’ Character Are You?

Overcompensating was recently renewed for a second season — thrilling news for me, someone who has not stopped asking people if they’ve watched season one of Overcompensating, which I adored so much I’m already ready for a rewatch to tide me over before we get more. It’s so good! Maybe one day I’ll finally write the personal essay I’ve been itching to write about the Halloween episode and my own experiences of being closeted during Halloweekend in college. Until then, I’ve whipped up this quiz for you fellow Overcompensating heads. Find out which character you are!!!! They’re pretty much ALL hot messes!!!!!

    “Arguably the most important character in the series! You’re hot, wise, and down to help someone be in delusional denial about their queerness if that’s what they really need.”

    Never seen the show but I’m okay with this!

  5. Never seen the show, but I got Grace and I’m happy to be Hot™. CAN I JUST SAY… The thought of playing Bon Iver at the pregame is killing me😭😭😭😭 Everyone bawling into their solo cup to “For Emma, Forever Ago” is my favourite new mental image (maybe this is not universally a bursting-into-tears album but it is to me!)
