I feel broken.

I feel unlovable.

When a child is abused by their parent, they develop an identity of being unloved.

Even if we look at something like depression, what is going on in depression?

In depression, we have a hyperactive ego.

Now, what do I mean by that?

This is why I'm being technical.

I'm talking about the sense of self.

So if I ask someone who's depressed, I say, tell me about yourself.

They'll say, I'm a loser.

I'm pathetic.

It doesn't mean that they're egotistical in the sense that they think highly of themselves, but their identity is very, very robust and concrete.

I'm pathetic.

I'm a loser.

I'm worse than everyone else.

Everyone would be better without me.

We also see very, very hyperactive ego in things like the incel population, right?

I'm a beta, other people are alphas.

I am this, I am this, I am, I am, I am.

So if we sort of stop and think about what's really going on there, in a lot of our mental illnesses and the ones that are, it's really interesting, right?
