But and I think it's harder now because you're everything is about visual stuff.

And it wasn't like that when I was a kid.

But even just walking around where I lived and, you know, boys shouting things at you, you know, say whether they were calling you fat or they were... I mean, I wasn't really.

When I look back at pictures, I wasn't fat.

So I don't know what that was about.

Yeah.

And I think I suppose what it is is a sensitivity.

I think I was, I am, and I think it's a gift and a curse, sensitivity.

You know, it's a beautiful thing.

I'm so glad I'm sensitive.

If I had the choice to not be, I wouldn't take it.

But it does bring pain because you, like you say, you are tuning in to these terrible things and the worst kind of thoughts about yourself and you're taking them in and you're absorbing them.

On the other hand,

It's like it's you have this.

I feel like I have this empathy, like I can meet somebody and very quickly feel like I, you know, I don't want to be arrogant about it, but I feel like I understand where they're coming from.

I can I can tune into somebody very quickly.

And and it's a real gift because it's an amazing way to connect.

I think this world, this life being human is about connection, you know.

And I'm so, I feel so lucky that I have an ability to do that, you know.

And so there's a double edged sword kind of thing is what I'm saying.
