No. Wait until you read. I just finished writing one and it's snarkier than ever. I have a whole chapter snarking about therapy and why I'm saying therapy. I'm paying all this money to argue with the woman. I mean, we don't argue, but in my head, I'm like, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I'm not thinking positively about that.

So it's like a huge waste of time and I should probably find a different kind of therapy. But one of the things we're working on is boundaries and knowing when to say no. So as soon as she gets me to the point where I learn how to say no, I'm going to tell her no. Okay.

Yes. Okay. So one thing I like to do with her is come up with strategies and I've come up with two life-changing earth shattering strategies. I'm going to give them to you. I haven't Written about them, no one knows. Okay, my first one is a strategy I call, I like it. So I have found, and I'm sure you guys know too, when you say, you could say anything.

Oh man, that episode of 9-1-1, I love that show. That episode of 9-1-1 was really great. There's always going to be somebody who's like, you watch that? And it's like- You know, yes. And like people expect you to apologize for what you like. It's like strangers are like expecting you to justify your taste. And I have found that if you just say, I like it. it completely kneecaps them, right?

It's so weird. Once I started doing it, I noticed all the ways I had to get something from a strip mall. And this lady was like, oh, that's where you go? I don't have any allegiance to the strip mall, but I don't like this lady making me feel like an asshole. So I was like, I like it. And then she was like, uh, and I was like, yeah, I like it. That strip mall is great. can't say anything.

They're just like, ugh. So that's strategy one. Strategy two, this one is a little harder and it's more recent. But when people act like in a way that shows you that they don't like you, telling them that you don't think they like you is it changes everything. It gets you out of things. So I had this interaction with this person I've known for a long time.

And this is the thing about like sort of being funny. My humor is always projected internally, right? Like I don't pick on people. I don't make fun of people. I don't care what anybody does. I am the villain of all my stories. So I pick on myself. I think sometimes- You punch in. I do. I punch in. I'm like a T-Rex, my tiny arms, punching in.

Just picture me with my little arms, my little rock-em-sock-em robot arms punching myself. And sometimes that gives people, they take license and like sort of punch me too. And it's like, well, this is a single person game. Like you can laugh at it, but I don't want you to. you know, rag on me all the time.
