That would qualify as this compulsive behavior pattern, right? The damage is not what people think of an addiction. You're not causing damage to your liver, even the sugar. You're not making yourself diabetic, right? It's not that kind of damage. The damage in your quality of life. You're waking up anxious, stressed out, afraid, anxious.

know wondering about whether all the people you associate with are going to continue to like you want to be with you etc so any of these kinds of patterns to me could qualify as what we're talking about and now hopefully when i say how damaging something like this could be a lot of people whether you're experiencing this right now or have or know somebody who is you can recognize that

Yeah. And I just want to, just for fairness, oftentimes a person in a situation like this will find themselves having to engage in behavioral patterns to deal with all that internal discomfort. That's just what I've found. And again, people come to me for transformational behavior change. So it could be that I'm very biased because those are the people that I see, right?

I see people, but they may eat too much. They may actually completely control their eating, but they're incredibly dissatisfied and then project that into drinking or other behaviors that are damaging. So the problem is it's a little whack-a-mole kind of problem, right? If what you try to deal with is a symptom every single time, you don't deal with the underlying issue.

And for a person like that, the question I would ask is what makes you think you're so worthless? that everybody else's opinion of you is substantially more valuable than your willingness, your ability to live a life that serves you. Because that's what you're really doing, right? You're sacrificing self for the opinion and the liking of others.

What an example. I love that. First of all, congratulations for figuring that out. Because when I was put in those situations as a young kid, I felt so lost, right? 14, 15 years old. I didn't know. I mean, I knew why I wasn't accepted or liked. I was new. I didn't speak the language well, et cetera. But the reason I love the example you gave so well is exactly how you started us today.
