When I look back, I was in... This is very unusual.

I was in psychoanalysis at age 13.

So I went to the shrink four days a week.

Wow.

Talk about, you know, first world problems.

And I think the idea of psychoanalysis, that there are these inciting incidents...

that set you on a path, on a trajectory, and that's storytelling.

You're basically creating a narrative.

I mean, old school shrinks would say you're not creating it.

But I think it's very similar to storytelling in every way.

Nor is any 13-year-old, by the way.

And so it's blame.

There's a lot of blame, right?

When that idea that there is an inciting incident, that something happened to you, it takes away what it doesn't count is style of thinking.

It's nature and nurture.

How were you born?

I was born with a much more anxious mindset than my sister.

And I think the idea that in your childhood this A, B, and C happened, it can involve a lot of blame.

And so I think it's maybe for some people harder to take accountability.

I don't know if that's sort of what you're saying, Will.
