But here's the thing is like every time we moved because back in the 90s, it was OK to like be mean to people if they were fat or any kind of different.

I wear glasses.

So so every time we would move, my brother's getting picked on for being fat and I'm getting picked on for wearing glasses.

So I became the enforcer where it's like I'm fighting all the time.

Like and I start to resent my brother.

Because every time we basically we move a lot and I'm expected to go out and make us friends to hang out with.

Right.

And then they would we would either lose those friends because he's kind of an awkward introvert and they're like, what's up with him?

Like, you know what I mean?

Right.

Or then he started doing things where, like, I'd go out and make us a friend to play skate with or whatever, ride bikes with.

And then he would like kind of get close with him and try to exclude me.

He always thought that he had self-esteem issues.

He couldn't.

He didn't feel like he could make friends on his own because of his weight problem or whatever.

And he wasn't even that fat.

He was just a husky boy.

And so I bring that up because it kind of sets me off on a path at a young age of like not taking no shit from nobody quickly, quick to get violent, but also kind of being an outsider and like resenting.

I feel like it was one of the first things where an authority figure failed me.

So I started getting into trouble at a young age.
