Porn. Yeah. Like, I had like a porn addiction when I was a kid. Anime, defaulted to anime. Yeah. So it was like a lot of that growing up, and then I would just go back to my little, little man cave back at home, right? Yeah. So like anxiety, it was like overbearing, especially at school, talking to girls. Yeah. It just overwhelmed me with anxiety. So it wasn't until I started my YouTube and when I started reading books, I like slowly like rewired my brain. Reading the books helped me like paint a vision vision for myself in the future to like, oh, I don't have to live like this.
