Having A Roommate Taught Me Self-Love || Mayim Bialik

[@warmchapters]

I love the way Mayim talks about the things she struggles with and also brings up science evidence to explain them better. I relate to her in some insecurities and it’s nice to realize I’m not alone

[@ScifiJoe01]

Mayim Bialik is awesome. She is highly intelligent and successful but is down to earth. She is not afraid to talk about the thing she struggles with, that a lot of people struggle with.

[@Dave-tx1um]

"Down to earth" ? No. She's an actor. She's acting like she's "down to earth" but clearly you have not met her in real life. She's an arrogant, self-obsessed, greedy snob.

Dude. You just totally described me in your first 30 seconds. I’m too much for a lot of people. As my family enjoys reminding me on a very regular basis. Sometimes I love and embrace this about myself. Sometimes I think I’m always wrong. We should be best friends. No really I think we would get along famously. As long as we got to take breaks 😂🙃

[@TabMUA]

It’s amazing that even after being so educated, and having experienced so much in life, you’re still able to learn more about yourself. Beautiful conversation!

[@d.m.173]

@Miss_USS_Liberty what "help" are you talking about? If you are trying to downplay or invalidate someones growth that is just itchy with a capital B. You aren't any less amazing because you have help. No matter your station in life. Being someone who continues to grow and learn with the time they have is an awesome trait no matter how much education you have or money. People still can choose not to grow and learn if they have money. People can choose to grow and learn if they are poor. If that is what you are saying.. you should learn to grow and learn as a person and choose not to tear others down for their accomplishments.

Hey, Mayim! Yeeeeeah. I’m there with you. My brother told me the same thing...and I worshiped my brother...who still thinks I’m an idiot...and has no problem whatsoever telling me so (he prefers the phrase “emotionally unintelligent”, actually 😂). Also, as I have moved in with new roommates about three weeks ago, it’s kind of cool to see that many of the things I thought were irksome are kind of cool. I also vocalized that I was a tad melancholic that I felt like my roommates and I were “like ships passing in the night.” It’s been a bit nuts, but I will say that I am happy for this new phase in my life, and hearing you break it down so eloquently, Mayim, is pretty darn reassuring. So thanks. ☺️ Gotta love keen intellect. 😂 (Also, has that Dr. Amy Farah Fowler doll always been there? Looove it; want one lol. 😂)

I've struggled with codependency as a result of childhood trauma and have been going through this process of learning to love myself. Everything you said in this video made me smile because it made me feel like I'm not alone in my struggles, (I know you didn't share that you're codependent and I don't assume you are, I'm just struggling with those same mental and emotional patterns). Thank you for speaking on your emotions in such a human level, I appreciate that about you. I'm a sensitive empath and I crave deep relationships with people and don't always seem to line up with like-minded individuals, so I can often feel like I'm "too much" for people. I'm rambling, anyway, thank you!!

[@donaldbutcher1260]

Mayim,I find you very interesting. What does that say about me?

[@monkandgoose890]

I have the opposite problem. I like my space and being by myself. As an introverted person, I would be afraid that I was being rude to the roommate or ignoring them too much. How often are you required to actually consciously interact with the roommate without being invasive or seen as a hermit? What's a good balance on that type of social interaction?

[@cmills1091]

Monk and Goose from my experience, there’s definitely no one formula to follow. It really depends on the person. I would say the best thing you could do is be honest and explain to your roommate that you like a lot of alone time and it has nothing to do with them. I have one roommate who spends most of her time in her room, but I know it’s not because she’s avoiding me or anything like that. It’s just the way she is, so when she comes out we hang out and when she’s not out we don’t. I also have very social roommates, and when I need my own time I just go have that and nobody bats an eye. Don’t worry too much, once your roommate knows you and your personality that’s probably how it’ll be! :)

I truly feel I come from a good place and I care about others. I just feel I’m too much sometimes and have that internal struggle periodically. Thanks for that. You really helped me to feel better and know that I’m OK lol. Maybe age has something to do with it. I just turned 49 on June 25th. Did I just say that out loud?! Haha! Bless my long time friends for putting up with me. I’ve been divorced for 12 years now and honestly, after dating some on and off afterwards, I like having my own space. Have kids around me a lot and friends close by but love my own time. Have been a nurse for 26 years now and still enjoy & attempting to make a difference in someone’s life I learn more from others than I do from myself. Praying that always sticks with me.

“Grok” Nation? I guess someone was influenced by Stranger in a Strange Land.” I also see a sprinkling of Martin Buber, and a dash of Jung. And those are, IMHO, good things. Something the T. H. White character, Merlin, said in The Once and Future King is always in the back of my mind. To paraphrase (I hope accurately): Humans have two strong but mutually exclusive needs. One, to be an individual, unique. Two, to belong, to be a part of something.

[@klarientje]

I just couldn’t stop crying after watching this video! I too have always felt too much! Always had people telling me that I talke too much and too loud, was too enthusiastic etc. I have been insecure for my entire life and the talking was just a mask to hide that. The part where you tell about your friend helping you made me tear up! I had my person who made me feel better about myself since I ended up in her class at secondary school when I was 14! My best friend and soulmate Jess! I’ve been bullied a lot and she has always been my rock and greatest supporter in everything I did and wanted to do. She died of cervical cancer 22 September last year after 7 months of being extremely ill. 😢 Almost a year ago now and it still hurts so bad! She was my one person to go to, she understood me without words. We were so alike, never had a fight in the 17+ years of friendship that we had. It is hard trying to believe in myself without her rooting for me. I know she wants the best for me and am really trying to make the best of my life without her. Me seeing this video now is perfect timing! Seeing you opening up and me recognising the feeling you have/had about yourself makes me aware that I have to be nicer to myself and not let the negative thoughts take over! So thank you for putting it up here! ❤️😘
