The Mental Illness Happy Hour is an EXCELLENT pod, right up there with ARIYNBF. For realz.
When you guys were talking about not being attracted to “self help” personalities like Dr. Phil / Anthony Robbins / etc that really resonated with me. I believe this is because people who experience even a medium level of “more than average” of anxiety (and I believe anxiety and depression are the same thing, expressed in different ways) can smell inauthenticity like a fart in the car. Even a hint of fakery makes us hit the brakes.
Also, instead of the “What other people think of me is none of my business” I like to think “If someone can’t or doesn’t want to tell me what they think of me, then I really don’t care to know. Even if they do, I don’t often care to know, either. FUCK EVERYONE” Okay, maybe not the last part, but you know what I mean?
Something Brene Brown said on Oprah’s life class recently (I know, I know….but I do like Brene) is, “Unless you’re in the trenches, I’m not interested in your feedback” (or something like that). I think of it like this: unless someone knows me really well and has earned the place in my life where I can be safely vulnerable with them, I give zero fucks what they think of me. Fo shiz.
