Comparison Is the Thief of Joy | Full Auto Friday | 6.12.2026

Five questions this week. No real through-line, which is usually how these go.

-A reader four years sober wants to rebuild the friendships he burned while drinking.

-A father of two wants the kind of relationship with his kids he never had with his own dad.

-A high school junior writes in about his 13-year-old sister and an eating disorder serious enough to put her in front of doctors.

-A guy three months into jujitsu can't get out from under bigger training partners. Size matters. Mat time matters more.

-And a sailor stuck under a former SEAL who got booted from the Teams and now leads by intimidation. I get into why he probably got kicked out, and how to manage two more years.

Enjoy.
