Transactional Analysis. I've been interested in TA ever since I
   was a kid and there was a pop psych book on the subject (Maybe
   it was "I'm ok / your ok"? Not sure) that sat on the back of the
   toilet that I'd read now and again. TA basically breaks down the
   majority of human communication as taking place in a series of
   Scripts; in short, most of human communication is like a movie;
   or rather, the stereotyped conversations you see in movies, are
   because we tend to have stereotyped conversations in 'real life'
   - which is what makes movies so relatable.
   I'm doing a script right now. Professor Script. I should be
   standing in front of a chalkboard with black glasses and chalk.
   [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_%28book%29 is
   the original book on the subject but many books were written
   since then on the subject. Good stuff if you ever wonder why you
   find yourself falling into patterns over.. and and over.. and
   over again... or see it happening to your family or friends.
   It's the script. Gotta change the script sometimes. YDYB: Why
   Don't You, Yes But. Historically, the first game discovered.
   IFWY: If It Weren't For You WAHM: Why does this Always Happen to
   Me? (setting up a self-fulfilling prophecy) SWYMD: See What You
   Made Me Do UGMIT: You Got Me Into This LHIT: Look How Hard I've
   Tried ITHY: I'm Only Trying to Help You (becoming a neglected
   martyr) LYAHF: Let's You and Him Fight (staging a love triangle)
   NIGYYSOB / NIGYSOB: Now I've Got You, You Son Of a Bitch
   (escalating minor disagreements or errors into major
   interpersonal conflicts)
