I used to see this as a teacher, you know.

And sometimes you get a really toxic group.

And it's just like a... And I feel so sorry for the kids in there trying to have like solid relationships.

And it's just like a random...

whatever's in the rain that season, you know, it's just a bad collection of kids growing up together and they're not the most supportive.

They're not the most kind.

You're right.

And then I suppose as you move on in your life, say there is a rupture, it's about being open to meeting people always.

I think openness is big five personality traits.

Openness is one of those.

And neuroscience will say if you're open and extroverted, you know, more extroverted, they're more open.

that you've got an optimal chance of kind of having life satisfaction and meaning.

And so openness is a really important personality trait to be.

You're never, like, you know, there's an old Jerry Seinfeld joke about I'm not hiring any more friends.

And you should always be open.

You should always be open to hiring.

You should never be, you shouldn't be kind of going, you know, this is it now, this is my collection of friendships.

And I took you on.

But when you meet people, it's incredible.

Take on you.
