And honestly i wouldnt advice everyone to be this open especially in today's culture.

[@jmackmcneill]

"The truth is mean." ...you can just see Nikki's eyes just light up when he says that, she relates SO HARD to that reprimand. When you meet people who had the same kind inept parental messaging like that it is SO cathartic. I find it funny because I am the exact opposite, I am SO confrontational, because I had it drilled into me you had to always tell the truth, and not getting in someone's face was dishonest, it is exactly the same as lying.

[@seltonk5136]

The other three people trudge through this conversation

[@brmbkl]

"and not getting in someone's face was dishonest, it is exactly the same as lying." yeah, but then there's kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGiXnIiBot-VptE

[@LPChipi]

Like everything, it is a balancing act. Some of the worst people I know take great pride in "telling it like it is". If the truth is hurtful and won't help the person then there's no reason to proactively go and hurt them. If they ask, don't lie, but don't go out of your way to let them know what you think just 'cause.

[@solaireofastora412]

I gotta say, as someone looking to study clinical psychology, it's really refreshing to hear a major celebrity like Conan talk about cognitive behavioral therapy. Its got great empirical support and is much different from what I think most people view therapy as.

[@h3artands0uLL]

2:09-2:31 was beautiful. I’m so glad Conan has Liza in his life as his partner ❤️

[@nicholashanashiro9503]

"I believe life begins at hatching" is such a fire line.

[@Lurdiak]

It's interesting to hear Conan be so nakedly honest. As much as I enjoy him as a comedian and host, he always struck me as someone who has a difficult time being genuine. I guess that impression was somewhat true, and I'm glad he's working on himself.

[@courtneyawalsh]

Rare & refreshing. More like this, please. 🙏🏼

I love Conan so much! I was trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I also think it's great. It's talking it out and thinking "what's the worst..." It's usually not a huge deal and if there's something that you can actively change to avoid a fear that might actually happen/be problematic...then at least you have some ways to work it out.

[@joshl.8950]

What Conan is saying about cognitive therapy, is where journaling really helps me. I have "severe combined type ADHD", and as with most things, am sporadic at journaling, but in the times I can keep up with it, looking back at my journal is always an enlightening moment at how much of an idiot I really am. I use Obsidian to keep notes and just loosely write things down as I sit on my computer when they come to my mind. I use horizontal line breaks, backlinks, and # tags to add order to my chaotic ADHD brain.

0:06 I mean...did she not watch the documentary on Conan's live tour after The Tonight Show (Conan O'Brien Can't Stop)?

And he he never stopped trying to entertain anyone who was open to it lol, even when he also would complain how exhausted he was. Just extraordinary, a true "funny machine". My favorite part of those burn-out moments was when he got Sona to laugh over him powdering his face for (yet another) live show: "Oh sweet powder! Protect my skin!"

this is so spot on for so many people. the fear of confrontation is not confrontation itself but how it will escalate into our perceived demons and traumas. also, and this is a major also, if we are discussing point A shut the F about anything else, you have been getting your turn over and over, so much so you're now in speaking up debt, so listen for once, be a Person and admit for bloody once too you're wrong Without bringing up every other impertinent thing from the past which has NOTHING to do with the argument at hand except to falsely give you some leverage and to put the other person down when YOU are now at fault. Suck it up, brave it out, and say SORRY.

I think there is a little more history behind it. I remember her saying on another podcast that her sister was extremely pretty, and she was openly portrayed by family and others as the not pretty sister. So the 5th grade insult probably fanned a flame that was already burning pretty hot for her with regard to her self-esteem.
