THE PODCAST Ep. 274 / I don’t give a shit*
Added 2023-01-31 23:44:18 +0000 UTCI’m hoping my explanation of everything doesn’t come off as arrogant or obtuse. I’m really tying things up right now...making tough decisions all in an effort to bring me total peace. I will not spend another day in a funk because of other people. This will be the year I shine. I need to constantly say, “I don’t give a shit.”

My mother was the same. But it got so bad, she was so abusive my whole life, so entitled, manipulative, gaslighting me all the time, a pathological liar for no reason (she'd lie about the strangest, most unimportant things), insulting, mean....I truly stopped loving her. I didn't think that could happen, but after 46 years of my life (she passed at 76 in October), I guess I was beat down and had no more love left. Just because someone is old doesn't mean they are respectful and if they are disrespectful, they don't deserve respect. I don't subscribe to "respect your elders" when they are horrible narcissists.

2023-12-30 15:09:57 +0000 UTCMy mother is 72 and my entire life she has and will never take accountability for her actions she has never done a thing wrong. Lol I love her with all of my heart. But the only time we get along great is if we talk only once or twice a week! She will always be full of negative drama and I won't be a part of it.

2023-02-13 14:42:48 +0000 UTCI've been over Rick for a long time. He just takes things to far all the time. Causing fights. Not worth all the drama. And I still hold him to his transphobic comments he made in one of the early episodes. Even if its a joke gone to far, he's responsible for his mistakes, One of my favorite things I did was donate and say "Rick got YouTube carried by Dan," He was so mad LOL. Now look. I feel like if you have been around this long you could tell Rick was never going to stop. Its just not worth the drama. Walk free.

2023-02-06 06:07:00 +0000 UTCSome people are just psychological vampires, man, sucking all creative energy out of you. Most of the time they don't even realize that they're doing this. Glad you're doing better!

2023-02-05 12:56:10 +0000 UTCI don't know if Greg is the best example to follow. Personally I think he comes off as an arrogant a**hat, and he really sucks at handling criticism. But I do agree that all content creators who do this for a living needs to set some type of boundaries between themselves and their followers. Patreon is a great way to do that, because MOST people who sign up and pay money to support their favorite creators are good fans. There are always sadly exceptions though.

2023-02-05 11:07:01 +0000 UTCI went through years of a very bad deep depression. I then cut someone out if my life I had known for a long time, was the closest friend but I realised how toxic they were. Few months later and my depression is so much better, like night and day better. I too had a fear at the start of, oh god this feels like me again, when does it end? When is the depression back? It’s not come back. They must’ve dragged me down so far that darkness became the new normal for me, all that’s changed and like you I’m being creative again and hopeful and thinking about the future, not worrying about how I want to end it or if my health would end it for me. I’d never heard of people having this effect on someone else or at least so the person influenced was oblivious to the real cause of their issues. Frightening.

2023-02-03 21:37:06 +0000 UTCReason why I rejoined your patreon is because Rick is gone. He was fine in small doses. Did try to support him when it was new...but eh, was impossible. Not my content. I am enjoying what you’ve been putting out recently, so hoping the best Dan and you enjoy doing this as much as we enjoy your content. You do carry the show by yourself very well. It's a shame you feel you can't put youself out personally so much anymore, (but able to here) but understand how it can attract the 'wrong type' (the 1%'ers...the 5%'ers). I'll never msg you personally (can't be f*k'ed seriously XD) and simply sit back and enjoy the ride you take us on.
