Hello friends, if I sound a little weird and a little fucked up it's because I am, I'm sick, but the show must go on.

So this week's episode is gonna be about caring what other people think of you.

So everyone says that you're not supposed to, but I disagree.

I think you should care what people think of you.

And I'm not being a smart ass, I promise, like I'm about to get into this.

But it just seems like every time we turn around it's like everyone's trying to figure out how to not give a fuck,

how to stop caring. But I'm here to deconstruct why you actually should care.

And also why you actually cannot stop caring. Like you're not able to not care what people think of you.

It goes against everything you are as a human being.

Sorry, sorry to burst a little bubble, but you will never not care what people think of you.

And that's normal, it's fine. But I'm gonna teach you some things also in this episode of how to make that work in your favor.

Okay, first things first. So when I said you can't not care what people think, it's the truth.

And I'm about to deconstruct that real quick.

So human beings are relationally dependent. Like our species, we need each other to survive.

Like you need closeness with others to survive and your body is hard wired that way.

Because try and fight me bitch, try and fight me on it.

Look at a baby. If you have a newborn baby and you put it in the middle of a living room floor and you just leave it there,

what's gonna happen to it? It's gonna fucking die because it can't take care of itself.

You have to rely on other people to take care of you.

You have to rely on other people for your survival. So your body doesn't forget this.

Like when you were a baby, your nervous system was hard wired to need other people because if you don't have other people, it means you die.

Your body doesn't forget that. You cannot unwire that.
