    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.
