Yeah, and I think it can even reset your expectations for the ways that other humans should be interacting with you.
You know, you can imagine if a child or even adult is interacting with something that's always giving them what they want and respond to them all the time and doesn't present any friction in those interactions, and then you talk to a real human and they have their own ideas and own preferences, that can make the latter less attractive to people and actually lead to I

I'm remembering a case that uh a patient I spoke to shared.
She was struggling with alcohol use disorder.
She had struggled for many decades and it was getting out of control.
And
About a year ago, her primary care doctor, she called her out.
She said, This is really a problem and it's something that needs to be addressed.
And the patient ended up stopping drinking quite abruptly, in fact, and ended up having alcohol withdrawal.
She messaged the doctor.
The doctor responded immediately, said, You know, I'm here for you.
If you want to come into the emergency room, I will meet you in the emergency room.
And she ended up staying home, but she, you know, checked in with her doctor.
Her doctor checked in all evening.
She got through the withdrawal.
