If you got along by pleasing your mother, you will try to please your fiancé.

If you got along by distancing yourself and managing your mother kind of thing, you will distance yourself and manage your fiancé.

That's more what we tend to see.

So if your dad, as a woman, had no desire to be around you...

You will assume most men have no desire to be around you, so you have to invent a reason, sex, nudity, to try to get his attention and then hopefully over time do enough for him that he agrees to hire you full time and keep you on.

Yeah.

Right.

And then we look down on those people.

Oh, she's got daddy issues.

She's pathetic.

He's got mommy issues.

Let's just throw him over there in the corner.

Who cares?

He's worthless.

Right.

We call them all kinds of names.

We mistreat men and women who have attachment issues and we look down on them and we have a lot of contempt for them.

And we shouldn't because, number one, it's like 80% of Gen Z right now, 65 at least.

And number two, these are people who are suffering.

It's you.
