I'm glad that isn't me. IDGAF. I'm currently a nurse and a few years from being a DR. I have lost jobs for my authenticity. IDGAF.... I will not lie or conform to make employees, employers, or family happy. I say what's on my mind and people respect it, and alot hate it. Do the same folks. Be you and people will gravitate naturally!
Gabor Maté is a beautiful human who has dedicated his life to helping people. Not just any people, people who were tossed aside by society. I wish him all the best.
My biggest regret is not giving up alcohol before it's to late. Now my kidney's and liver are failing. Don't be a stubborn, weak idiot like me when it comes to addiction folks. I think about death every day now. I know Theo talks alot about addiction so I kinda hope this message reaches someone and it helps.
TOP 5 REGRETS OF DYING PEOPLE: 1) I WISH I'D HAD THE COURAGE TO LIVE A LIFE TRUE TO MYSELF, NOT THE LIFE OTHERS EXPECTED OF ME. 2) I WISH I HADN'T WORKED SO HARD. 3) I WISH I'D HAD THE COURAGE TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS. 4) I WISH I HAD STAYED IN TOUCH WITH MY FRIENDS. 5) I WISH I HAD LET MYSELF BE HAPPIER.
I'm in my mid thirties and have lost a lot of friendships. I've recently written down the names of old friends and have started calling people and telling them I miss them. Hardest thing I've ever done.
@@dfro2814 There's five I've really reconnected with. Two sort of ghosted me/didn't respond. It hurts but I'm happy because of the five. Sometimes you miss people more than they miss you. I think the fear of rejection made me keep from contacting them until now. There's others on the list I haven't reached out yet. I haven't worked up the courage yet. It's really hard. Fear they won't be happy to hear me. Sounds silly typing it out, but its the truth.
I was authentic and being myself and the company I worked for 20 years laid me off saying I was weak. You can't be authentic and yourself in corporate America.
Thanks for sharing. You can be one of the boys and be yourself, or play the game to get ahead while not exactly being yourself. Such a double edge sword. Easy to say on your death bed “wish I didn’t work so hard” or “wish I never cared what other people think”. Yes, we’ll all have regrets, but it’s tough to literally not give a crap while trying to get ahead that involves people who have an impact on your life. If I truly was myself, not really giving a damn, no way I’d be where I’m at in life. Call me an asshole, but that’s life. It’s not fair.
Well. Maybe you just didn’t belong there. Find something that does take you for who you are. It’s like meeting a girl and changing just because you want to be with her. Sounds miserable. Being yourself and free sounds so much better dude. 🫶🏽
sometimes people are authentic in their relationship and get dumped. to make the assumption that "therefore you can't be authentic in relationships" is wrong. you didn't fit in one place, not ALL places
It’s a phrase in a sociology called the “ looking glass self” where a person gets their sense of identity by the way their peers and society views them.
This was a great point. Sometimes when I get in my own head I overthink some things and then I realize, no wait -- I need to give this person credit that they probably just brushed off a dumb comment I made and whatever I'm thinking about they might not have thought about it one bit.
I love that Dr. Gabor Maté uses the words ‘we’ and ‘us’ instead of ‘you’ and ‘me’. He includes himself in the conversation, so that the other person knows they are not alone in their feelings.
Western society is built on being to some degree "fake". No one said being authentic would help you get money. But when it's all said and done you can say you did it your way , which is what people wish they can say when they die .. because all that money , shelter and food means nothing when you're about to die
Be yourself but change your value on money my friend. Money is a good energy. Don’t view it as something “evil” it only brings out the evil that was already in a person.
Theo has helped me realize how much of life I've been keeping myself down. I can say because I have heard Theo speak on these things I have became a better person, son, husband, father. Thanks bro.
yea bros listen to this advice: never display weakness to your employer. For girls it's different you have it easier in the workplace as all the culture is on yourside (no hate plz just a fact)
I’m glad a popular name like Theo is spreading the message of a person who is very kind hearted and compassionate and trying to help others heal. The world needs more of that
The biggest challenge/obstacle to being your authentic self is doing so is heavily discouraged and even punished early on, at home and at school. This discouragement is continued at work.
@@notmgtowyet8442 if you're a grown ass man and you act like a bitch just to keep a job then idk what to tell you. Imagine being so loyal to a company that you let them dictate what you say and how you act lol
When you speak your mind and stand up for yourself you dont settle and leave it or you get fired because you know you dont belong there. People will fake, kiss ass or keep quite ... meanwhile their soul starts to rot because they're too afraid to leave or stand up for themselves at work.@nomaderic
I think it's true for him too, Bert Kreisher is so unbearable to watch because he comes off as inauthentic and trying too hard to keep attention on himself constantly
I’m not afraid to be rejected, I been rejected my whole life I don’t care anywhere I go I am afraid to be accepted I’m afraid that if somebody likes something about me, I won’t be able to maintain that quality.
Coming from a wealthy family and a background filled with rich people...They are fake as hell to keep the favor of others..Being married to a dirt poor woman. She never gave a sheit of what others think of her. She had nothing to lose anyways. As long as people only judged her but bever helped her , why would she mind any of m ? Rich people need to keep the show going. When you're out of the circle you lose income and connections. That can not happen. So they almost NEVER speak their minds and almost ALWAYS say what is expected or suitable. GL
That’s an excuse get out of the cycle. Once you are authentic things slowly get to change. You have to be honest with yourself and focus on what’s in YOUR control
@@AdamSchrader I love it too, Adam! As far as I'm aware, it originated from Fr.Dan Rehill, or at least he is the only one I've heard using that phrase. The context was Fr.Dan visiting people in hospice/end of life care. God bless.
Imagine living in fear, then one day you got diagnosed with cancer. "Man, I wish I did what I really wanted to do" Is the only thing that you are going to say until your last breathe.
I’m very different and thus rejected by my peers, the loneliness can be real sometimes but I live life on my terms I wouldn’t change that for anything.
If you don't want to live life full of regrets, I suggest checking out Chase No More from 'Casanova reads'. This book has so much knowledge that it's gonna change your life instantly.
A lot of people don't know the difference between flattery and a compliment. A compliment is genuine requiring nothing in return, whereas flattery is always said in order to gain something. People intuitively know when they're been manipulated, this is why so many guys struggle in relationships, they flattery way too much and compliment way too little.
Ive been rejected so much for being me but im lucky in that ive developed into a human who doesnt need other humans love/approval/attention. I have my wife and daughter who love me unconditionally because im who i am and thats all i need. Love from our inner circle is all any of us should want to need. Everyone else is just a bonus in this life.
@@andyhunter5869 That may be true, but you really don't want anyone to think negatively of you when they do think of you (even if it's only for a brief moment).
OMG! So glad he said that. I get rejected on a daily basis. Why? I refuse to conform to the status quo (especially women - they hate my guts). I let this remind me on a regular basis - "haters are actually serving their soul's contract, so we have to embrace their hate".
Stop focusing on yourself so much. Focus on others, do good, try your best. Introspection is good for only so much. It itself is an addiction. Introspect some yea, but then just DO
Raise your hands all you people who are low in “agreeableness”. We are not afraid to be ourselves and say what we think. And sometimes people don’t like us, but that trait means we also don’t care that much. 😂
In America we have outlaw culture... Most of them live hard, don't care what other people think, do what they want, and live by their own rules... The outlaw doesn't care what you think... "criminals frequently are victims, outlaws never are. Indeed, the first step toward becoming a true outlaw is the refusal to be victimized. All people who live subject to other people's laws are victims. People who break laws out of greed, frustration, or vengeance are victims. People who overturn laws in order to replace them with their own laws are victims. ( I am speaking here of revolutionaries.) We outlaws, however, live beyond the law. We don't merely live beyond the letter of the law-many businessmen, most politicians, and all cops do that-we live beyond the spirit of the law. In a sense, then, we live beyond society. Have we a common goal, that goal is to turn the tables on the 'nature' of society. When we succeed, we raise the exhilaration content of the universe. We even raise it a little bit when we fail. When war turns whole populations into sleepwalkers, outlaws don't join forces with alarm clocks. Outlaws, like poets, rearrange the nightmare. The trite mythos of the outlaw; the self-conscious romanticism of the outlaw; the black wardrobe of the outlaw; the fey smile of the outlaw; the tequila of the outlaw and the beans of the outlaw; respectable men sneer and say 'outlaw'; young women palpitate and say 'outlaw'. The outlaw boat sails against the flow; outlaws toilet where badgers toilet. All outlaws are photogenic. 'When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free.' There are outlaw maps that lead to outlaw treasures. Unwilling to wait for mankind to improve, the outlaw lives as if that day were here. Outlaws are can openers in the supermarket of life.” ― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker
Wow, that's powerful, it certainly puts things in perspective, It's difficult to go through life with no regrets though. The important bit for me is trying to be as authentic as possible ❤ and putting yourself in places where opportunity will arise.
Theo, you are an intelligent, caring man...admirably so. Just keep up the great work on your podcasts with the also interseting folks, and you will bring joy to humanity!!! What a wonderful and fulfilling gift you have.!!! Just keep yourself humble and open...just be YOU!!!! and you will have had a VERY meaningful life! Well done, Theo!
No one I've known close to dying has never mentioned not being able to buy the fastest sports car or a 10 bedroomed house.....its always about love , family , not making the effort with family , travelling etc..... I / we forget so often how precious life is and take it for granted which should be a crime ! Sending positive energy to anyone reading this .... thank you 🙏🙏
"You couldnt be real as a kid" I was a black sheep growing up, pushing back on expectations of a mold my parents tried to put me in. This podcast backs up my goal to say what I believe, no matter who is listening. To make choices that I believe are RIGHT. I want to die knowing that I lived the best version of myself, always.
The thing is I don’t know what “being myself” is and after years of trying to “find myself” I’m starting to just define myself. I don’t think there is a base self, you kinda just are who you become. At least that’s how I think.
My favourite quote is that “ a man one truly horror of life is a requirement to make a choice and take responsibility for it. A true existential dillema.
Hmm, I watched my dad deterioate pretty bad mentally on his death bed, he had COPD so his lungs were packing up so lack of oxygen etc caused him huge anxiety, he didn't want the palliative meds but relented in the end, once they kicked in it helped him drift off more peacefully.
This dude should also balance the side that it’s not all about what you feel but what must be done as well. Cause living just what you feel is pretty lonely too. Knowing who you are and want to be is pretty freeing in itself
You don't need to read that book, just go to the nearest hospital and talk to any nurse that is more than 50 and ask them about it. The stories you will hear will give you emotional nightmares.
never thought Theo would talk with Gábor Máté! Gábor is from Hungary, fyi, and he has great insights. Same goes for Theo, he has great insights into human behavious, he is very observant.
"Be who you want to be'. Yeah see this is the problem you cant create yourself if you choose to be someone than you are not yourself. People should just "be" and hope it is not something mediocre. To be yourself means to not try.
I’m glad Theo’s real - and he can be silly, sure; but serious when he needs to. A dude I could talk to for ages, I’m glad he’s capable of having the intellectual capacity to confront extremely hard topics like this. It’s philosophical, really, contemplating the end of life and your journey before that point. Everyone needs to do their best to live without regrets. You’re not missing out on partying and serial-sex; you’re missing out on making bad decisions. Stay the right path, and don’t fuck around because “it’s cool”.
When the guy asks, "Are we having a genuine conversation?" Theo said I believe that we are after the first seconds of the clip where he was amazed at the thought of studies being done in Australia. It had me bursting out laughing.
"You are important because you are here". Ok but what if you harm other people, are you still important. You can only deserve to be respected if you don't harm or negatively influence other people.
“We’re afraid to be authentic, because we’re so afraid of being rejected.” That hit hard.
So many of us really afraid of our true feelings being revealed.
Umm ooookkkkk
I use to do telemarketing sales. Rejection was part of the job. It helped me grow a lot.
Fear of rejection is absolutely crippling and nobody talks about it. That's how you know people really are afraid of it

This podcast backs up my goal to say what I believe, no matter who is listening. To make choices that I believe are RIGHT. I want to die knowing that I lived the best version of myself, always.
This convo is so deep..
I love this man! He's my number 2 behind Jung!
I finally started doing stand-up comedy after years of being afraid to do it. I have never been happier!
The thing is I don’t know what “being myself” is and after years of trying to “find myself” I’m starting to just define myself. I don’t think there is a base self, you kinda just are who you become. At least that’s how I think.
Gabor: Barely says 2 words
Theo: "WOW"
That was a really good conversation. A bit scary in a way too....
My favourite quote is that “ a man one truly horror of life is a requirement to make a choice and take responsibility for it. A true existential dillema.
Dying people are the most peaceful people they do not have any regrets! Their minds are not restless or scared of losing something
Hmm, I watched my dad deterioate pretty bad mentally on his death bed, he had COPD so his lungs were packing up so lack of oxygen etc caused him huge anxiety, he didn't want the palliative meds but relented in the end, once they kicked in it helped him drift off more peacefully.
Everything said in this is relatable, tuff. 🧠
Everytime I see this guy I can't stop thinking about how tired and sleepy he always looks
I guess I’m doing something right. I’m constantly getting rejected
OMG two of my favorite people, together.
Theo von is underrated ❤
This dude should also balance the side that it’s not all about what you feel but what must be done as well. Cause living just what you feel is pretty lonely too. Knowing who you are and want to be is pretty freeing in itself
This guy’s voice is so calming
You don't need to read that book, just go to the nearest hospital and talk to any nurse that is more than 50 and ask them about it. The stories you will hear will give you emotional nightmares.
As a father, that last part hit hard.
Your born with a set of cards. You play them the best you can. That's your life.
BS
@@tomwassink8226you’re full of it Tom 😂
Im like QT97 double suited in Pot Limit Omaha...
Fold your self
„There was a study done in Australia..“
Theo: „wooow“
Great conversation
My top regret will be that I worked so much all my life. The biggest regret ever. Live is too short to follow HUMAN way of life.
Thank you for this
Covid and politics tore apart my friend group. Probably for the best although i still reach out and am kind to them.
never thought Theo would talk with Gábor Máté! Gábor is from Hungary, fyi, and he has great insights. Same goes for Theo, he has great insights into human behavious, he is very observant.
"Be who you want to be'. Yeah see this is the problem you cant create yourself if you choose to be someone than you are not yourself. People should just "be" and hope it is not something mediocre. To be yourself means to not try.
Dr. Mate: "There was a study done in Australia"
Theo: "Woooww"
I’m glad Theo’s real - and he can be silly, sure; but serious when he needs to. A dude I could talk to for ages, I’m glad he’s capable of having the intellectual capacity to confront extremely hard topics like this. It’s philosophical, really, contemplating the end of life and your journey before that point.
Everyone needs to do their best to live without regrets.
You’re not missing out on partying and serial-sex; you’re missing out on making bad decisions.
Stay the right path, and don’t fuck around because “it’s cool”.
Great guest Theo. Like a therapist session. The secret to great conversations, the 200mg of caffeine from Celsius.
When the guy asks, "Are we having a genuine conversation?" Theo said I believe that we are after the first seconds of the clip where he was amazed at the thought of studies being done in Australia. It had me bursting out laughing.
There is always a "study" somewhere about "something" but you never get told about the actual source
"You are important because you are here". Ok but what if you harm other people, are you still important. You can only deserve to be respected if you don't harm or negatively influence other people.
