This is the Gary V audio experience I'm afraid what are we doing to our young people no no stop over we're not doing this is what's happening There's no real doing this is the reality of human evolution. How can I stop feeling insecure about myself online? Why do I feel like everyone online hates me? How do I keep my child safe from the things?
Yes, the internet what can I do to protect myself? I'm telling your kids about the internet. Okay, you know what Gary you're a dad What are you gonna do when your daughter is 14 and she's locked in her room desperate to make selfies and videos that people care about when she Walks out of room and says no one likes me in this world This is my number one thing that I'm most passionate about period in the end of the world number one way to protect the child is to build their self-esteem Guess what you suck at a ton of good. So does everybody else you're also probably pretty rad at something tries many things as possible So you figure out what you're rad at and you like and go that for the rest of your life Most of all what I care about is trying to have a conversation around self-esteem Eliminating envy completely tuning out the judgment of others who have no context on your actual tree and trying to find a way to live within the means of your reality I actually fear kids that are really good at school or really good looking I'm being serious because their entire framework from the world is getting affirmation for those two things So they're very attractive when they start hitting that 40s 50s 60s 70s go into some very dark places Because if you go world is then telling you this is why you're good You're like like like right your number one responsibility if you care about somebody underneath you whether that's your child or your student or your Teenage or whatever your number one responsibility is to understand what you're affirming what we cheer for for our children become their framework If we cheer that they're so good looking they start to find value in their looks and become vulnerable in their 50s and 60s and 70s But cheer for their sports acumen and they're gonna be a pro and then they're not they're lost at 22 When a child is not insecure they don't succumb to danger if you make her competent do she is she's amazing the way she is She will not succumb to other people and that is how she will happen ultimately I believe the biggest miss in the world is people focusing on things that don't matter and underestimating the things that matter focusing on the Things that matter most and building up self esteem around that and then suffocating and muting the stuff society values because in reality long term It doesn't matter as much we are strong.
We're really strong We're just being sold that we're not because there's a lot of money in telling us that we're not pretty enough thin enough smart enough good enough That I want to tell you
