A. A. Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh, had Piglet say, “The thinks that make me different are the thinks that make me ME.”9 Collectivist people find Piglet’s statement confusing in more than just grammar. Collectivist people define who they are in relation to others. I might say, “I’m an honest guy.” A collectivist friend would reply, “Says who?”
