BIG REGRETS - NO REGRETS - PODCAST #4

Of course everyone could benefit from a time machine but because they don't exist yet, you shouldn't stress over the past!

I agree don't be too friendly... Ive learned in the past when I'm too nice to men they take it as me flirting when I'm not.

Melissa lynn

I enjoy you digging through trash

FoolCat

Totally-- well said.

You know, it takes a lot of self awareness to step back and realize that your not in a position to "help" (counsel) people. I'm a counselor myself, and I can say that dealing with individuals and their mental health can be taxing to even those that have been in the field for a while. When you spoke about responding to people and them "seeking attention", there could be maaaany reasons why; attachment issues, trauma, etc. I get wanting to help people, but big kudos to you for stepping back and asking yourself those questions. It's just as easy to unintentionally harm or enable others, especially with those dealing with suicidal ideations. If you find yourself dealing with that, I would try to refer them to a suicide hotline, or suggest seeking a counsellor in their area. You're a helper! That's why they open up to you... but you also have to know your strengths, which I feel you do... and DON'T feel like it's your fault for their actions if they self harm. Keep up the excellent work Zach, I appreciate your work. You're a real hero!

Drops of wisdom, right here. Thanks Zach 👍👍

I’d say it’s a good thing you didn’t end up going after predators at 16. Not just because of school etc., but also because it could have had a negative effect on you. While 16 is older, you’re still a minor at that age. Could have put you in a very uncomfortable position. Even if you felt you wouldn’t have been victimized, there was still that potential. I’d advise anyone in their teens (even legal adults) to not do that, just because of the psychological effects it can have (not to mention the potential to get physically hurt). Where I’m from, the right to carry a gun for protection isn’t a thing unfortunately. We can barely protect ourselves without getting sued by the attacker... Anyways, important to stay safe! :)

"my brother gets a lot of asian guys hitting on him" lmao

JT

some people here like me have similar experiences. the most growth i've ever experienced has been watching anxietywars vids on himself actually, he's so cool but you're completely right though

Brian Helzerman

Also I found your bro separately and was surprised by the relation and yes there are some weird fan girls and boys 😅😅

Lea Hannigan

In regards to the stickers- I had no idea I’d get one cause I didn’t read the rewards tier thing and was so happy to get one cause dude STICKERS RULE LOL.

I totally relate to how important it is to not be super nice to fans. I used to make vines and got really popular. I was very appreciative of how much people liked what I was making, so I would occasionally respond to DM's or comments. However, I made myself too accessible to fans, and my fanbase got really obsessive. After that, it wasn't fun anymore. I don't think it's wrong to say you don't want to get invested with fans. I think that's something (hopefully) most entertainers can relate to.

Anna

Very interesting. Thank you for the info! I'm going to read the whole Wikipedia article tonight, haha.

Zach Sweers

In regards to you talking about people faking for attention, in case you haven't heard of this before there's this thing called a parasocial relationship. I wont pretend to have a perfect understanding of it but it more or less refers to the relationship a viewer forms with a media figure even without ever knowing or interacting with the person in person. What you were talking of reminded me of that and it might be worth a read in case it helps you contextualise some of your feelings on the matter.

That’s not my name.... that’s not my name

Is it possible to get an RSS feed? Normally listen to podcast while hiking or riding my bike, would be nice to be able to add this in my app/list

Xyni

Yo the predator who almost ran you over, it got taken down.

Harrison

I enjoyed this podcast, with plenty of smiles throughout. Live in the future is now a sticky above my monitor.

Scott + Co.

I love how you can tell stories that all connect to a lesson in the end. I totally agree on your perspective of regrets- live life without limitation! Awesome podcast!!!

MacKenzie Bucki

I fuckin' hate this covid bs. The lockdowns and everything.

Connor Anderson

Were any of the girls actually attractive? If I met you in person I would say whatsup! but on the dl I would be hoping you would get a beer with me that would be my motive xD I know you don't drink anyway though haha.

Connor Anderson

You clearly love your brother enough to be honest with him hahaha you two are good guys!

BarkBark

dude I feel you on the balancing school and pushing out content. Im definitely not keeping track of logs with countless predators but still seem to be getting stretched thin none the less...forget it this is my new motivation community haha. hopefully more consistency and creative motivation is coming soon. feeling oddly motivated listening to this podcast, thanks

Dav Wilkins

yeah dont lead on those thots bro

gloom

Listening to you talk about being careful just reminds me of how good ole' Mr. Crowley used to say "Be Cawtious". Words to live by.

Emily Schoening

Don’t be so hard on yourself, you have a great girl voice

Travis Hanson

awesome shit

Scottie Turner

Extra long podcast, hell yeah! I loved it.

Lilly Flaherty

Promise I won't tell your bro ;) So strange how people celebritize, yikes. I've had people do that to me for dating someone in a band. No likey.

doomrider

Does showing your fully semi-atomic AR-14 in the background of your videos help reduce the number of crazies sliding in your DMs? Like as a passive warning to them lol
