I guess I have a scarcity complex in the sense that like I will always, I can never save anything because when you live with that many people, like there's no way you could have half a chocolate bar and leave the rest in the fridge.
Yeah.
As a result, I like meet people who are like that.
They're like, okay, we'll have like five chips and we will roll it up and we put a little pig on it and that will sit in the cupboard till like a couple of days later.
We might come back to the chips.
And I'm like, well, we never, I'm going to eat the whole bag.
Yeah.
You just have this weird caveman instinct when you're with a big family that's like, okay, are you going to eat that?
You're just always constantly just fighting over things.
And so maybe that is an aspect of my competitiveness that's sort of come through.
It's just being with a big group of people.
I think in a way that is channeled through, I hope â
healthy ways like in sport like it's like I like to sort of you know have my competitiveness unleashed in a way that where it makes sense so that if in my sort of day-to-day life I don't feel that way if that makes sense you know like I feel like a lot of people competitive especially in my industry like you know it's like about like oh who's got what and like you're sort of trying to fight over certain things and I don't feel that way about my work but I feel that way about sport and I think it's maybe because there's a very definitive winner and loser and
of something like in sport and so I can really kind of like fight for success and see success play out in a really like binary way whereas in my work it's like success can be so like random it can be like oh this is sort of doing quite well and this is like kind of not working but there's nothing that really says like thumbs up thumbs down it's uh you can't win comedy
Like no matter, like even awards, they're so subjective.
And so you can't possibly, a lot of it is like so many things you can't control.
Whereas I feel like in things like sport, I can like control how well I plan.
I can sort of control the outcome of the game.
by working really hard.
But sometimes you can work really hard in your career and it could get nowhere.
