Okay, so let's also mix that up a little in terms of we're in middle school, right? And so you can tell me you're okay, you big, tall, fat loser with the zit on your face. You can tell me you're okay with feeling that way, but we all know. Everybody here thinks you're a loser.

Oh, I fear I don't know what I externalized. Are you my thoughts? Yes, yes, I was kind of going along the same thing. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because, well, it's kind of like, I mean, David obviously pointed out that I was now playing the bully in that, but, you know, it is kind of still going along some of those negative thoughts that are your own.

And that's a very mature thing. Which is where we're trying to get them to. What we're doing right now, though, is kind of thinking about how a middle schooler or high schooler who's – take yourself back to that insecure – which we want to show them the positive because that is where we want to get to. I just think initially they're going to be like, I don't believe that one bit.

Not everybody does think that, right? I mean I'm convinced that everybody actually thinks I'm not a good person.

I just want to bully this guy, man.

Yeah. Well, I'm just like, like I said, is that you're, when we're trying to work with adolescents, um, And preteens is that that's not generally the way they're going to think. Like we model that for them because that's good. Right. I mean, that's as an adult, that's a big win. Right. Is it? Wait a minute. I'm actually starting to see that. Wait, not every.

Well, I'm much better beaten up on the negative because I'm trying to channel the adolescent. But, you know, when I work with them, it's like, well, let's examine that, just like you were doing. Well, let's examine that. So everybody in the school hates you, right? Hates me, speaking the first person on. Hates me, sorry, hates me. And then it's like, well... It's not necessarily true.

There's, you know, there's that one person who doesn't spit on me when they walk by me. The teacher seems to tolerate me a little, I guess, sometimes. The principal, you know, there's that one kid who I was nice to once and, you know, they're nice to me.

So, I mean, I would try to get them, but this is like you guys know, we'd have to get what their thoughts are because it's hard for me to use that. I'm just trying to think of it. How do we make it for the adolescent who does feel awfully awkward and like they don't fit in and wondering if their hands are in the right position or are they standing too straight? Are they on top?
