And, and so like, what's your understanding of like, what, what is the arc?

Like, what is it?

You use the word archetype.

So can you tell me more about that?

Yeah, so I love the phrase underappreciated overachiever.

I think it's very, I think it encapsulates it well.

I also think it's very, what's the word?

So it seems super like there's a technical term in psychiatry called egocentronic or egodistonic.

So egocentronic means something that is aligned or fits with your ego.

And egodistonic is something that does not fit with your ego.

So a really good example of this is like OCD versus OCPD, so obsessive compulsive disorder, obsessive compulsive personality disorder.

So when someone has OCPD, they're like super OCD, but they like it and they think it's right.

So they're like, I'm super OCD about this, but this is the way it should be and all y'all are wrong and I'm right.

And OCD is usually ego dystonic, where, like, people know that I know I shouldn't be washing my hands eight times to prevent germs.

Like, I don't want to do this.

I just can't help it.

So the underappreciated overachiever sounds like a fantastic book title.

Like...

You know, so I think a lot of people will see that and it'll resonate with their egos.

Like they'll be like, yeah, like I work really hard.
