Joe Rogan - Actors Are Mentally Unstable

[@DrowFighterMage]

The trick to getting approval is to never need it.

[@carlosinchile]

DrowFighterMage Holy fuck, someone finally said it! Thank you.

[@AncientAnt3y]

exactly

[@tinyspacepeople9384]

how do you never need it? just by not ever giving a fuck what your parents think about you? or your siblings? or your friends? or yourself? thats what their saying. its pretty hard not to yearn for approval when you've hardly ever felt it. it's like happiness, or anger or anything like that. you're gonna need at least some of it in the long run, no matter what way you look at it, unless you just plan to rot away in your bed till you die, then i guess you could skip the approval.

[@lunatic4152]

Cesar Vasquez Believe me you don’t need approval. You need to be chasing your goal, and the only approval you need is yourself, and be confident and yourself without caring what anybody thinks of you.

Most actors are really insecure. Not all. And many of them have narcissistic tendencies. The key to auditioning is to go in with an "I don't give a shit if I get it or not, I am only here because I had nothing better to do today" mindset.

[@LeatherCladVegan]

Oh cool! Next time I have an audition, I'll just grab a quick cup of mindset on the way in. Problem solved, thanks! :D

[@drrd4127]

When I was 17 years old, I wanted to be an actress, I was actually quite good at it and got straight A's in drama class. I thought I wanted to be an actress but I really just wanted to be famous because my parents neglected me as a child, I was invisible to them, I wanted to be noticed, I wanted to be loved. Well, I went on to become a biologist which was a better career path because science is based in reality and I needed to get back to reality, I was so lost in my ego. I wanted attention but in a science lab you don't get much attention so I learnt to be okay not having attention. Most people aren't interested in my work because they are scientifically illiterate and don't understand what I do.

[@Jingling-MelO]

I'm happy you found the right path. Acting is a path that breeds vanity and narcissism. So I'm happy you found a better path

I was in the same situation as you but instead of being an actress it was being a musician. Its so, so freeing to finally feel that it’s okay if nobody witnesses me, because i witness myself

[@MrTimjm009]

As a teenager I wanted to be in a rock / metal band . But after studying and listening to what many musicians go through as is similar in the film and model industry . I realised it wasnt worth it . You cant put a price on you r physical and mental health or you r integrity and morality . But that is what poeple end up doing in the arts industry plus end up with alchohol and drug additions , sex addictions. It is the whole cult of it all . Women and children especially vulnerable . It is amazing how any parent would want to get a child to be an actor working in this industry with adults . Look at the train wrock of the adults and then to expose a child to it ?

[@SC-mq1eh]

Nowadays I think some younger actors/musicians are fame hounds But if you think back to high school - the kids into drama and music were generally outliers, kinda nerds - so if they do make it big, some people that may be kind of naturally introverted are now celebrities with no privacy - who may naturally be kind of geeky are now supposed to be "hip"

[@SC-mq1eh]

+Rusty Ass Yeah as I said, the younger generation are probably all driven by Kardashian fame - famous for being untalented or having a nice ass, but are attention whores But people like cobain or cornell that were just driven by a passion, but not attention seeking social butterflies or just kind of "damaged" somehow - put in positions that made them uncomfortable 24/7 and no amount of drugs or excess brought them escape from crushing notoriety and scrutiny - I don't know, maybe I'm just projecting

[@jctai100]

I hate how all "actors" now are insanely good looking. They're all cookie cutter models

agreed, i mean if youve ever seen reruns of 70s TV, older movies, or rock stars, those talented actors/musicians would never be given a chance to be stars today - sure there are people like charlize theron or ryan reynolds that happen to be hugely talented and attractive, but most "musicians" and "actors" are mostly just pretty faces

[@SC-mq1eh]

Akilleus i guess youve never seen montage of heck - sure did cobain want money, who doesnt - but he was driven by a passion and using music as an outlet for his demons - and money and a lifestyle that got him access to drugs to kill his physical and mental pain i can almost guarantee you kim kardashian feeds of her fame, and would only resort to suicide if some of her plastic surgery goes wrong

Although I agree the "divide and conquer" strategy is being used on our society, joining forces is impossible from either side. They are diametrically opposed to one another. Funny thing is though, the vast majority of conservatives just want to live their lives in peace. They want a decent job, raise a family, and especially not be told how to live their own lives. But it is the left that is always forcing their ideological beliefs on our society. Now that they control our education system, media, and have a death grip on our justice system, well, it ain't lookin good for conservative America. Seems to me we're witnessing a slow genocide. So I guess you'll have your way in the end.

I'm an actor and I honestly never been bothered by auditions or being rejected.

You NEVER find out the real reason you got picked or rejected anyway. (Except when you land on the casting couch cause that is some rock solid evidence). I always tell myself "This happened before, it will happen again, just stick to your craft and stay persistent and the moment you get to display your craft they will all go: Fuck us, we made a mistake!"

Actors are unstable because 1. Many lack mental resiliency or toughness. They lack the life experience or skills they need to cope with the emotions and characters they create. The mind will make that shit real, and theater school won't teach how to do with it, when it gets out of control. 2. Its 60% looks, 45% network, 5% talent. When you go to a casting call where everyone looks like you, there's not much to differentiate yourself from others. Many resort to extreme measures to stand out or get noticed. 3. Hollywood is full of angry beta males, running things, who are left uncheck because everyone is always fake nice (see no.2) or emotionally worn out or weak (see no 1.) to resist.

Yeah....The stress of having to work with a bunch of egomaniacs, dealing with production staff who think they understand the art better than you, working in multiple locations with no guarantee of the: weather,, sets, crew, lighting, cast all being perfect, rehearse after knocking off from your day job, staying healthy and in good voice, memorizing all of the: dialogue, blocking, facial expressions, timing, dance moves(if included), having an understanding partner who doesn't automatically think you're sleeping with the female lead and who knows you will be away a lot, making every moment exist as if that is the first and only time you've been in it and....to cap it all off, for stage acting: being able to feel the crowd and bring them into the narrative without them knowing you're doing that or feeling conned. Being able to truly enthrall and entertain a full theatre of paying customers is a tough gig. There are nights you wonder what went wrong and it wasn't anything you, or the other cast, could've done done anything about. Then...you need to unwind. To let your motor get back to idle and allow the endorphins, serotonin and adrenaline to ebb back to a normal state. Now...go and get some sleep. Oh...I forgot the audition process. Brutal! I know people think ill of the 'Hollywood' types. That stands to reason as they've created that environment for themselves. The machine is relentless and there is a huge dose of self importance. Actors the world over don't associate with that group because it is a world of fakery. All smoke and mirrors and very little substance. Now. Comedians on the other hand...

I did an audition for the movie Last Castle many years back and it was weird. They talked about me like I was not in the room for a bit and then after a couple minutes they looked at me and said "you would need to shave your head" I didn't know what to say cause it wasn't a question so I awkwardly stood there for what felt like a long time and then said "would that give me the role?" The lady said "we would need to see you with your head shaved". I told them I could not do that because my normal job was customer facing and my boss would lose her mind (well, more than usual she was always freaking out about something). That was that. I never had much interest in acting though did some stage stuff to help friends who were playwrights. I'd just went down there because it was filming in my town and they specifically said they were looking for muscular, athletic men to fill small roles as military prisoners. The irony is years later I shaved my head and now keep it that way.

The whole basis of being an “actor” is bizarre and disturbing. Constantly being out of character, where in your career you get rewarded for how good your personality change is

My dream was to be a famous singer like Celine Dion but I could not handle the rejections and suffering I had to endure. I gave up and sing for myself now.

[@sacrilegiousboi978]

This is also the same in the world of music, not all but many aspiring young performers/artists/composers I met at uni didn’t genuinely love music first and foremost, they were insecure and narcissistic and saw it as a potential path to fame and attention - a friend of mine was obsessed with the idea of turning up to Carnegie Hall in a limo wearing a tuxedo greeted by paparazzi

[@ChocolateAsian9000]

I thought I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid, and I was a huge class clown and loved to make people laugh. I’m really glad that notion faded over time, it seems wild out there. Wild can be fun hell yeah, but instability is way worse

[@traceypalangio9615]

The thing to remember about auditions is: they are looking to cast a very specific type for the role. If you are not the type, they pass on your audition. I realize how difficult rejection is but you can’t take it personally and you can’t give up. Perseverance wins the role.

[@TheJudgementofDog]

There's something to be said for a person that spends their life trying to be someone that they are not. I believe to be famous and successful in the entertainment industry, one HAS to be a little imbalanced. Insane even.

[@MXG_Productions]

I was a drama kid in high school. actors are WILD! I enjoy the eccentricities, but at the end of the day there's a job to be done.

[@joesatva]

This is true ... however, as an actor myself, one should have a healthy outlet... I’m a martial artist... and yes... actors can’t be “conservative “ and the audition process is hard

[@theoak64]

OK I have a friend who is an acting coach and a professor at a small university in Ohio and we had this discussion once how does an actor create a character without losing themselves in the reality of it and his response was they create their character peripherally and not in front of them. My response to that is we cannot live peripheral everything that we create is in front of us through feelings and thought. Meaning what I/eye believe myself to be is what I/eye am. I don’t mean we just put thought to it . I mean to sew it into our Being.

[@russellhawkins366]

Joe, actors are mentally versatile bro’. Just like genius can be easily mistaken for madness, so too can the talent of acting be taken for being bonkers... (However like all professions there’s the odd genuine nutter - naturally statistically even across the board.)

[@SLJR16]

When I was younger, I wanted to be an actor. I just thought it would be cool to entertain people since I like to make people laugh and have fun. Problem is I don’t have a good look and then seeing how the majority of Hollywood acts now, there’s no way I could put up with that even if I was good enough to get a spot. But I do agree that there are a lot of crazy people that become actors. It’s like the people casting purposely pick them for the roles since they are easier to manipulate. Think about it. If you’re a Hollywood big shot, of course you want the insecure person that is crazy rather than the confident person who is sane. It’s easier to control the insecure person and get them to do what you want. That’s why I think Hollywood is such a left leaning cult. They get these young people that are crazy and manipulate them. I mean look at all those girls who come from Disney and Nickelodeon. They end up having breakdowns in their late teens and early twenties. They are usually super fucked up too. It’s a complete mess

[@NataliaOrtonowska]

I've been in this business now for about 7+ years and while I love the work and craft for what it is, everything Joe is mentioning is absolutely true. I've been very fortunate enough to meet and work with outstandingly talented actors, but in terms of the craziness and narcissism that exists - I mean WOW. It's a shame because while there are some ridiculously talented young actors who have emerged and solidified themselves on the scene, a lot of them are in just for the fame really, and everyone can see it. It's going to be a huge loss for the industry when Pacino, De Niro and Meryl Streep just to name a few will pass away. Also have to blame the business of the industry. Having lived and worked in LA also for a couple years the city and the acting world alone is just like Babylon. Won't be surprised if the craft ends up dying, which is a shame because of what it used to stand for.

[@asdfff123]

Meryl Streep isn't the best example. If you know her story with Roman Polanski...

I auditioned for Disneyland a couple of times. I never had any luck so I guess it's not my calling. The princess auditions are the worst because they stand all the girls in straight lines. They stare at your face and body. I always had this feeling that I'm in the wrong place. Some girls who don't get pick leave crying their eyes out. What's even more annoying is how my mom always made me wear clothes I don't usually wear to try to "fit in." She even suggested getting a weave. I honestly want to shave my head and get tattoos. I use to get pissed off about not being picked but I don't care anymore. I haven't thought about auditioning in months. Now I'm thinking about getting into a combat sport, like mma.

Honestly....If you’re going to be an actor. Treat yourself as a professional auditioner. Don’t go into it thinking “this could be it!” It’s most likely not. Go into just wanting to audition and get it over with to move onto the next one. There’s always going to be more auditions. It’s like playing a battle royale game. You’re most likely not going to win so just do your best, have fun, and hone your skills as an actor for the sake of your art for YOU alone. The casting director doesn’t matter. Just you and your art matters. You can always just play another round. :)

Joe's a Libertarian which is a Progressive. He's just not a Progressive Socialist.

[@Jira2k6]

I feel sympathetic for people like this... They should have read the Velveteen Rabbit as a kid (or even as adult). A quote: “Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” “Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit. “Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.” “Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked “It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

Ever since I listened to this and heard Joe talk about how celebrities always say “good to see you” instead of “nice to meet you” as a greeting. I’ve noticed this any time a celebrity greets someone on video. Like the nelk boys video “addison rae says hi to trump”, that video featured addison rae, trump, and justin bieber who all said “good to see you” as their greeting. Pretty weird and didn’t expect that from the biebs but i guess he’s been the most trained
