    Natasha Lyonne talking off the top of her head is like a Spalding Gray monologue. She is going to be an awesome old lady.

  • @impossiblegems
    @impossiblegems Год назад +59

    35:40-39:00 Natasha is literally talking about being validated in a number of ways: emotionally, psychologically, intellectually and how great that feels after spending her childhood , teens, and young adults yrs feeling invalidated. This is something that isn’t discussed but a huge part of what we need as people to live fully and be present.

    • @chasedwards9626
      @chasedwards9626 11 месяцев назад +2

      Unless I misunderstood, I disagree. The desire for validation is an outgrowth of the ego and generally destructive. It’s understandable and almost universal human preoccupation at least at some stage in life, but many often fail to recognize it and course correct. External validation in and of itself is a “block”
      People do better to realize that internal self confidence and acceptance is the only healthy mindset. Too often in modern western culture, people conflate confidence with arrogance.
      The mind-bending effects of social media addiction influences many to toil in the endless quest for external validation and acceptance from others.
      Ok I’ll shut up now I just have strong opinions on this subject.
      Sorry I wasn’t trying to rain on your parade but I believe this stuff is worth thinking about if you want to reach an equilibrium of peace & happiness in the realm of mental health.
      If someone reads this and has a minute to reply, let me know if you disagree I’m working on a mini-doc on this topic and am interested in different angles from others.

    • @scottreast
      @scottreast 11 месяцев назад +1

      I think you're going a bit too extreme in the counter cultural direction. Yes seeking external validation can be an unhealthy preoccupation, but it also can be balancing. Autonomy is one valid drive within self development but can turn into hyper individualism. Seeking connection and exploring who the self is in reference to others is also a valid drive

    Her love language is the film of the 70s and her hairstyle is the 2020s Mary Hartman; sounds like the 3rd place is describing external circumstances combining with a very intense dopamine release. Such a great episode. Thanks Neil, Natasha and crew (who does the editing? fun & clever moments following dialogue esp. the weird loop!). The Roky Erickson reference and application of the lyric resonated huge for me.

    ~ I so appreciate and relate to Natasha’s story, regarding “the dark night of the soul” period of her life. Dare I say, I’m coming out of that stage … myself.
    That meta experience of addiction is spot on. It’s comforting to hear someone articulate this perspective; it’s a unique point of view I haven’t heard explored, before.

    i legit didnt recconize her at first bcuz i was so used to the movie view, hair etc. idk. i was immediately like omg love the red hair, whoa nice voice, very attactive, who is this, then that movie pic came on i stopped the video then i could see after. i hope this was a compliment. it was a pleasurable surprise, shes always been gorgeous. ill be honest i think i didnt know the name well. so that was it. but because of that, my intial first impression was changed, not in any good or bad way. just like seeing someone for first time with out your previous preconceptions of things you've seen them in or maybe you knew in person back in the day, super interesting start. honestly more of a fan cuz i didnt have that "oh its this person (celebrity)" it was just oh heres a human i find really cool. and thats permanent. once i saw, which was pretty quick. and it can never go back. my view of her. that alone shown a side of her i may not of seen cuz i grew up with all the movie personas in my head. again not good bad better or worse it just ADDED to what was already there. ANYWAY!
