And I kind of live by this motto that I used to hear my coach say all the time, which is, you know, I do care what people think. I just don't care that much. I'm not going to change who I am because of him or her. And it took me a long time to get to that point, but I definitely feel like I'm comfortable with who I am. And it's okay if you don't like me. I can't get everyone to like me. I'm just trying to build a deep relationship with a few. And thank God I have that. Most people can't say that. And, uh, and I continue to develop that. With other people. I either attract people into my life or I detract people, but that's no different than anyone else. Do you ever, you know, if you ever been in an interview, there's this vibe you get from people when they walk in your office. You can't explain it. Sometimes it's a good vibe, sometimes it's, eh, you know, it's just, it's human nature. We judge people.
