Oh, boy.

I think the realization, and this is something that I know from talking to so many scamming victims, it's not so much about wanting to make that money.

It's the realization that you've been talking to somebody that's not real and that you have been so swindled.

And, you know, I don't want to use the word dumb because I think all of us can fall victims to these scams.

But the acceptance of that is really difficult.

So you just want to keep on believing it.

You just pay whatever you need to pay.

So the dream stays alive.

One hundred percent.

I feel that ego experiment I'm doing right now.

I mean, even though I know I'm being swindled, but there's something about once you're deep in that relationship, it's it's yeah, it does something funny to you.

Or a celebrity scam, which is huge these days.

If you think you're talking to, you know.

Yeah.

Maybe your life has a meaning, right?

There's a reason why you're here.

Right.

Astrology is another one I've been looking into.

I'm a believer like you, by the way.

Right, absolutely.
