Manage episode 210498376 series 2360513
“It is always the secure who are humble.” – Gilbert Keith Chesterton
You wake up, brush your teeth, and gaze into the mirror hoping to see the reflecting visage of a Brad Pitt or Emma Watson. Nope, just you again, frazzled hair and all. In that moment, it’s easy to fall into despair.
“Why am I not a beautiful celebrity worth millions?” you might think. Why aren’t my finances respectable? Why am I so socially awkward? Why did THAT incident have to happen to me? Regardless of the question, there’s a good chance you, like most others, suffer the lifelong condition of feeling insecure. Left untreated, it can morph into a debilitating plague, infecting all areas of life.
This week’s episode inspects insecurity with the hope of suppressing it to a reasonable degree. Bryan and Michael discuss common symptoms of insecurity, where it stems from, human narcissism and philosophy, personal anecdotes, the necessity of intrinsic value and external results, solutions such as the “fuck other people” mindset, service to others, therapy, self-awesomeness and more.
There’s a saying that goes “the more personal the problem, the more universal it is.” You’re not alone if you battle with insecurity. If anything, it means you’re a fully functional human ?.
