    I mean thats how normal healthy people think from what i understand. You shouldnt constantly be ranking people in your head. Ofcourse you have groups of priority but going “this is No1 this is No2, …” would be a pretty weird way to live your life.

    Obsession with absolute numeric rankings is just something that gets drilled into our heads early on by school and sometimes parental expectations.

      After asking hundreds of times, my kids are resigned to the fact that I don’t have a favourite colour. But I still get looks of disbelief when I tell nieces and nephews.
