Here's Jay Glazer topping again. Welcome 3 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: to another edition of Unbreakable, a Mental health podcast with 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: Jay Glazer, and today I want to talk about the 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: perils of comparing ourselves to everybody else. And look, I 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: have clinical depression and anxiety and a d D and 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: some bipolar fucked throw it all in together. But I 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: think we all go through things because we compare ourselves 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: to everybody else. And that's a social media issue, right. 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: We're sitting there now on Facebook and Instagram, and we 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: compare ourselves to everybody else's filtered, filtered, fraction of one 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 1: second of one day and a real and you're going, man, 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: how come my meal doesn't look like that? How come 14 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't have a car like that? Why my body 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: not look like that? Why am I not at that party? 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,319 Speaker 1: Why am I not that successful? It's fucking bullshit. It's 17 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: not real. It's filtered, it's a fraction of a second, 18 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: it's a picture that's a fraction of a second. It's 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: not fucking real. But man, that pain feels real. So 20 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: I want to put it out there. I want to 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: really call it what it is because I want us 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: to understand it how dangerous it is for us to 23 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: do that. We are comparing ourselves to something that's fake, 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: that's not real. So as you're going through social media, 25 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: I want you to keep this in your mind. It 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: ain't fucking real. We do an awful lot ourselves. We 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: do stuff every day that we don't post on social 28 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: media that we should be proud of. But it's just 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: a dangerous world we live in now when we're comparing 30 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: ourselves to everybody else or on Twitter. Man, we're seeing 31 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: so much hate out there. When we're growing up. Look, 32 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: I grew up at the Jersey Shore and when you 33 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: got bullied on the playground the Jersey Shore Man, it 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: sucks for a month. We're now seeing that bully in 35 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: a thousand times a second every day of our lives. 36 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: I don't think the human condition is meant to deal 37 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: with that. So just remember when we're on social media 38 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: the damage that could be done. But if you put 39 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: in perspective and realize, okay, these hate that's out there 40 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: on social media, man, maybe maybe I need to start 41 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: looking at it less. And I know we get addicted 42 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: to it and that's hard too, but maybe I need 43 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: to start looking at this list and also as I'm 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: looking at somebody else's social media knowing, man, there's twenty 45 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: three hours, fifty nine minutes, fifty nine seconds of a 46 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: day that was different than this, and there's other things 47 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: in our own lives that are good. So let's not 48 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: get roped in and let feeling left out on social media, 49 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: bullied on social media put us in a gray area 50 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: when we don't need to be. Now. I don't know 51 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: what the answer to that is. Gang. All I know 52 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: is I'm gonna put it out there for us to 53 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: start talking about. I'm gonna put it out there so 54 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: you can start wrestling with it. I'm gonna put it 55 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: out there so you can start noticing it more when 56 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: you're looking out there at social media. The key is 57 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: to stop comparing ourselves to everybody else. Let's keep walking 58 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: and walk together
