It's not like controlling other people and stopping them from triggering you or anything. The freedom is just knowing whatever happens, I'll figure it out. I'll figure out what to do. Like that's confidence and freedom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you've been through some hard times, and many people have, I think that's something that we don't always realize about everybody. And part of my work is getting hundreds of letters from people who are going through a really hard time. It's really opened my heart. I'm a lot less scornful of people who are screwing up. I get it. I get it. And I've been there.

And it was a miracle that I got through a lot of the stuff I got through.

Yeah, yeah. But I mean, a real loving relationship is a bit of a validation. It's a healing. There's that fundamental loneliness of being human. Marriage doesn't fix everything, but a good marriage is a healing of sorts. And so it's natural to want that. One of my analogies is it's like plastic fruit. My nana, she was from Brooklyn, and she was an immigrant. Her family was from Norway.

And she liked to have this Baroque living room, and there was fake chandeliers. And there was this crystal bowl of plastic fruit. And as a kid, me and my cousins, we couldn't resist it. We were always just like, oh, those grapes, they just look so good. And we would bite into them, and they were like... That's what it's like. That's what limerence is like.

You're just like, oh, that person is the most beautiful thing. You know, it's weird. I'm sure you get this. Once you're on YouTube, it's a little bit like being a television star or something in our small way. And then people get it for me. And they think my videos were about them. That would be an extreme case. Or they just think... They just think I understand them as nobody else can.

And they're surprised when they meet me in person that I'm very friendly. And I look people in the eye and I'll give them a hug and listen and stuff. But I actually don't know them. I don't know their name or anything. And that comes as a surprise.
