And I'd have a, I challenge it and I would go back and forth.

Um, so I've kind of hurtled that hump of like, I'm annoying everybody and more come out the other end of, I probably going to annoy people and just not, I mean, there's only so much that is in my control.

Um, but my friends in my circle, um,

I don't think it's a coincidence that they're all people who are able to, you're being loud.

You know, they could tell me I'm being loud and then I could be like, Oh, sorry.

Yeah.

And I could be quiet, you know,

I found that valuing the information of you're being too loud or this or whatever as information, not as criticism, really is a great cheat to kind of like surpass the ego of like, if someone says I'm being too loud, I don't think, oh, I must be too loud.

I'm a loud person.

No, I'm not.

You know, and then it's like you're debating yourself.

But when somebody says you're being loud, what they're saying is for their ears, this is an uncomfortable volume.

I can't dispute that.

That has nothing to do with me.

The only thing it has to do with me is what I choose to do with that information.

I very, very much seek that.

Not just the information, but to surround myself with people who are generous enough to offer it.

I think a simple analogy, I've said this on my podcast before, but it's like when somebody says you have a booger in your nose, you're like, oh, I want to be around this person.

I might not be happy that there's been a booger in my nose, but I'll be happier than looking at it later and seeing that it's been there the whole time, you know?
