That used to be hard for me.

Yeah.

Well, all of it.

It's just like, it's like, oh, like, if you think this, why wouldn't you just say it?

And then I would get, like, annoyed at people not saying stuff.

And then, like, but then I had to...

understand that not everyone wants to have conflict not everyone in fact most people don't oh yeah so they avoid it and um uh that's fine you know yeah and so i yeah i think that's i think being big is part of it too because often i think when i was talking about with delta it's like

Oh, are the little kids scared of you?

Yeah, you are.

But sometimes that's intimidating.

A little, because it's like... Why is he so friendly?

No.

No, it's just like, oh, I have to talk now.

Like this person's engaging with me.

So now I can't just like go sight unseen.

Like this person notices me.

And now I have to talk and I'm a little kid and I don't really know how to talk to adults.

I remember, I don't, maybe this has changed over time.

I hope it has.

But I used to be so intimidated by everyone's dad.
