So this thing happened.

these multiple experiences, but it's shaped the same way that we might go to a fence and bend it.

Well, yeah, we bent it in the past, but that fence is still bent and that shape is still there.

And in that same way, if our nervous system is shaped by a past events and we don't give it the opportunity to relax for a second, to not be so stiff all the time, then of course we're gonna react to a new situation in a similar way because it's a defense mechanism.

It's some sort of protection that's there.

Do you feel like there was a combination of things that was going on in that setting where it was both your true feelings?

And I guess it'd be a question for you.

Was it both like, Hey, okay, I have this story because I've been left out and I felt this way.

And my brothers probably weren't doing it intentionally.

They're just boys.

They're older, they're closer in age.

They just do it.

And they're probably not even thinking about me because young boys just don't think about anybody else.

Right.

Okay, so that's true.

So as a byproduct of that, I got kind of left out and that was my lived experience.

But then also, did you genuinely feel that, hey guys, when it comes to certain decisions like this, I would actually like to be consulted and included?

Was it a little bit of both?

That's a great life advice for everybody, especially our world leaders and people in power and other things like that.

You know, I had a great mentor.
