Thoughts on Mark Manson's Confidence Podcast
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuPe6ZfrgBg Hi Guys, I've worked with Dan in the past and he helped me tremendously in building my self-confidence and my overall self-esteem and self-talk with myself. Ever since then, the idea of confidence has been an important part of my day-to-day life. In Mark Manson's 4-hour podcast on confidence, he concludes that confidence is actually not necessarily something to be pursued...it should be Courage, and that confidence is actually the positive side effect of enough repetitions of a said skill/action. There's definitely a difference between having confidence in doing something (like competence), and having SELF-confidence, but of course it's important to distinguish between a healthy self-positive image and opinion of one's self, and overconfidence/self-delusion/narcissism. I thought the podcast was very interesting and engaging and found it relevant to post on this group. If anyone else has listened to it, would love to hear your thoughts on it.

@Jan Cinis Yeah, enough repetitions leading to confidence in that particular area makes intuitive sense. I think when there have not been enough repetitions and you don't "feel" confident about it, there then is the skill of "being comfortable with failure", which Mark talks about. Dan also talks about this, but yeah, knowing that you'll be able to handle it even if it goes "wrong".

@Daniel Munro Right, interesting how we can hear the word "confidence" used freely everywhere, and how it can have a different meaning to others. I internalized your meaning more, so it threw me off a bit with Mark's until I realized his emphasized more so on competence.

What do lasting, healthy marriages have in common? Do all healthy relationships still have occasional fights? What do you advise couples to help minimize their fights and/or come to a mutual understanding sooner after fighting?
10K subs on Youtube :)
I've been plugging away at youtube for over 10 years, and yesterday we finally crossed the meaningless milestone of 10,000 subscribers. Thank you to everyone who has supported the channel, especially people who shared it with others to help spread the word. I've never been one to go viral or anything, and the youtube algorithm isn't very fond of me, so your support is what keeps the channel alive. I'll keep pumping out the vids, and of course I'm listening to you, so feel free to suggest content ideas or request answers at any time.

That's awesome Dan. Congrats! I've been following you since about 2015 at this point, and I know you've been producing helpful free content since...you've worked hard for this and deserve your 10k subs!
I Thought I Was the Hero — I Was Just Afraid
I thought I was the hero, but deep insecurities drove me. The shocking truth? “I needed to be needed.” Discover the uncomfortable path to actually helping others—embracing failure and enduring anger.

This really resonates with me Dan. I feel like this is me pretty often. I feel good about myself. I don't feel like my personal relationships have suffered, but I can see that if I'm too "helpful" that I end up hindering their growth. "You have to watch them fail — and not get in the way.You let them fail. You have to confront them, even though it makes them really upset." How do you decide when to let them be and not interject, and to confront them and get in their business?

@Daniel Munro Thanks Dan. This nice guy syndrome can be rather complex. Appreciate you for helping to navigate us weird humans.
Difficult conflict with a stranger
I was out for a walk just now and saw a couple with a pram (woman was heavily pregnant) some distance away. My instincts said something was off. Got closer and saw the man was giving a drink to the 3-4yo toddler in the pram. As I passed I realised it was a can of beer. This was tough because a) I don't speak czech well and b) how other people parent is none of my business. But I confronted them anyway. Basically said don't do that it's not right. I couldn't understand their response but it was definitely defensive and the man stood up aggressively. I decided to walk away. I hardly wanna scrap a father in front of his child and further fuck up his childhood, or get myself injured when I have my own family to care for. But I'm frustrated. I feel like it wasn't enough. What would you have done?

I commend you for your courage and for doing what you thought was right. I think I would have questioned what the man was doing and expressed some disagreement on my face, but that would have been about it and walked away. While it is none of my business on how to parent someone else's child, I can't help but express my concern towards a child when it approaches closer to "abuse". I hope expressing concern for their parenting style can plant a seed and that the parents can question what they are doing in the future.

@Daniel Munro Ah, that's true, utmost, before even trying to "help" them (if we are even), we need to live for ourselves with our integrity. Nice goin' Dan
