(00:00):
When you're living in maybe you are definitely just on the downward trend.

(00:07):
It's just each each rung down.
It's like you're just taking one more step down.
Oh, oh, that that like I can feel I can see it now and I can feel it and it just feels
icky.
I mean, I've been in that situation where I've been, you know, for years on years saying
maybe, you know, not in all areas of my life.

(00:28):
And you know, it's just over here a little bit, especially like with our first example
that you provided for us at the start of the episode, which is, you know, going to the
party.
You know, someone says, can you make it to this party?
You told them a definitive answer.
No, no, I won't be there.
You set up their expectation.

(00:50):
They're not expecting or but I spent years and years telling people maybe because I was
worried about hurting their feelings when I didn't give them enough credit to know, hey,
they can handle their own feelings.
They just need to know.
They just need to know what my decision is.
Is it yes or no?
Oh, I'm out there.
I'm out there.
Put a pause right there because you just hit something and and I don't even know if you

(01:16):
know you hit it, but you just hit something when you talk about, you know, someone's someone's
feelings that maybe is you trying to control that person's perspective.
You know, you're trying to have control over that limit.
I'm going to try to control your feelings for a moment.

(01:38):
And you think that, oh, I'm doing you a service because I'm not because I'm not trying to
hurt you.
You know, we're trying to control them so that the hurt comes later.
And when we spoke about that early, but that's what that's what it is.
It's a control thing, you know, because, you know, you because maybe still gives you some
modicum of control over that scenario.
