Michael Beasley Opens Up About Emotional Struggles | The Pivot Podcast Clips

[@OneEyedKing1]

I felt that “I’m tired bro” in my soul

[@patrickchatmon7074]

I pray everything is blessings for ya brah

[@MRRENTASPOONS]

me too

[@GeoDavis1012]

That shit was powerful. When he said it, multiple faces crossed my mind. It is a shame how we treat each other. Not just as black people but as human beings period. We prefer to troll and talk shit rather than listen or to help. The way we are as humans combined with poor gun laws equal these mass shootings. NRA is right, people kill people. The same people we troll and talk shit about, the same people we bully or belittle are going out buying guns and killing everybody!

[@nwananka]

When you've been taken advantage of for most of your life. I pray he can build trust again

[@jasonclarke9351]

I watched this episode repeatedly because this was so powerful the thing is he allowed them too take advantage of him like he said he was hesitant to cut his family off completely he said he can’t explain a million dollar problems to somebody who haven’t seen $10 before he should’ve done what Lebron did and cut off family&friends for awhile and then reunite with them when everything gets situated this why I keep telling some people any time you getting ready to embarked or start a career you gotta have the right circle around you to protect and secure your future so it wouldn’t be no setbacks or costly mistakes or people using and stealing from you for their own beneficiary and then shit on you later when you down and out this why I don’t trust nobody so when people tell me I ain’t got no friends I don’t feel bad about it because I have my own reasoning smaller the circle get the better it is for me.

That was the darkest time of my life. I wanted to die. I laid in piss and s**t because I didn't care. I remember who I was. MAN. Mentally Adapted Naturally.

I'm 27 and as soon as he said "I'm tired" my body just forgot how to breath and I started to cry like hell. I fell you ma man. I'm trying every day not to quit and the only thing keeping me here is the fear of death. I pray for any brother, friend, randon person on the street or whoever you is that you can make and you'll find any kind of peace cause I don't think I got what it takes anymore to becoming happy and trust people. All my life I wanted a family, building a house, plant a tree and all that shit but today I don't even know if I endure the following week. Therapists tell you to speak to people and engage with people but in my opinion that's not reality, at least where I come from there is no understanding for completely broken people. I've been alone my whole life cause my mother didn't want me and ran away my father was at work from 6am to 6pm and drank after. All my youth I thought I got it, this life thing is easy but somehow I ended up being almost no human anymore. I can't take it anymore, somehow I just want the pain to end

[@jimma0]

‼️facts bro

[@trewesttv7209]

You can tell when Beasley is crying those tears aren’t just for the current conversation that evoked that emotion. There is deep pain in that man’s soul after the loss of a mother, the sport that you love to play feels like it doesn’t like you back in its biggest stage but he’s resilient and as he likes to say HE’S ONE OF THEM ONES always for faith in Beasley 🔥

[@snoopyblu1206]

You can tell Mikes mind is so messed up it's sad because he seems like a good guy just got no one to say we love u bro

[@evelynfrederick]

This is why we are supposed to share our weaknesses with people. It breaks the illusion that people have it all together and makes reaching out for help a realistic option. What a sweet man. I hope he found his tribe.

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

You will never have it together in this current society because you're forced to always chase things, and that never ends. You don't get it. You have to kiss ass to get what you want, and people are tired of that. This society is about favoritism. There's no help when everyone needs it.

[@evelynfrederick]

@@j-us-t_be-in-g People with no self respect are kissing ass. No one actually needs to do that. Who has been teaching you this mess

[@macanina100]

Share your weakness, and they will prey on you. It’s thin line with who can be trusted and who can’t and who actually cares.

[@evelynfrederick]

@@macanina100 yeah. There is wisdom in knowing who we can trust. But there's also comfort and understanding that if someone can't help you it's because they themselves are struggling and weak. So don't be so cynical

[@knowughetto]

If you're going to share your weaknesses, do it with people you can relate to. You shouldn't be open to sharing your weaknesses with any random person. They'll use that to their advantage while taking advantage of you. Reality is that most people don't care about you or your struggles.

I've been in situations where people begged me to hit them up after pouring out my soul. Think they honored that? Nope Point I'm trying to make is that it's easy to volunteer on camera....

I HAVE PTSD WHICH LEADS TO SEVERE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY. THIS IS A FEELING I GO THRU EVERYDAY. BEING HURT SOOOOO MANY TIMES BY PEOPLE YOU LOVE AND PUT TRUST IN THAT YOU GIVE UP ON PEOPLE PERIOD. YOU REALIZE YOURE JUST AROUND TO BE AROUND YOU HAVE NO DESIRE TO EVEN WANT TO MINGLE WITH THEM. WHEN YOU DO GO AROUND YOURE SITTING BACK OBSERVING EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE TO THE POINT YOU REALLY DONT ENJOY YOURSELF. YOUR SMILE BECOMES SO FAKE AND BEING FAKE IS NOT A PART OF YOU SO YOU JUST FEEL AS THOUGH BEING ALONE IS BEST BUT DEEP DOWN YOU WANT THAT SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST AND PUT SOME HONEST LOVE INTO.

I’m 22 and battling with one of the hardest times of my life with my freedom in jeopardy. I felt this heartfelt and allowed cats I thought were my dawgs to put me in an awful situation. Dudes I done looked out for, fed, and always genuinely looked out for snaking me, bad mouthing me, and wanting me to lose everything I’ve worked for. I feel this for real. It’s hard to know who really loves you friends and family. Hard to know if it’s genuine because everyone counting favors yet would ask you for the world and don’t remember that you did it out of love and you being genuine. I feel what he’s going through no doubt.

I couldn’t explain it to her but after watching the full episode and him talking about not being able or wanting to trust or talk to anyone it put everything into words that I couldn’t do two weeks ago I sent this to my mother telling her this is how I feel and she is able to understand so much more.

There are good people out there who want me to succeed and be happy. The same applies to M. Beasley.

You can tell he genuinely felt like he's at his end and I felt that in my soul that I'm tired hit different when life just be hard bro

[@msounderated]

I agree with Michael Beasley and I've been on both sides of the fence. I was the one with nothing left and I was the one that doesn't understand. Its super crazy and the pain can be so unbearable to the point were your at your wits end because not so much for not having someone, but the self shame and self value is depleted and you have no one to reach out to to escape reality to feel so small and to think that there nothing else this world has to offer you. To cry yourself to sleep or to feel that you deserve what you are experiencing because of the mistake you made. Many people have hit the bottom. I have hit rock bottom so many times throughout the years and the only person I can talk to is when I close my eyes and pray or to feel that this world is you. To literally have no hope for the future. I literally had to choose myself because no one would and to feel normal I would have escapades because I wanted to do what everyone else was doing. To feel normal to have no barriers to be free. To be loved and accepted for who you are and that no one would because the world is such a bad place. God was my only solution and family but ultimately I was alone and felt 100% like Mr. Beasley I don't trust myself and feel bad but life is going to get better. Pray and ask god for guidance, love, protection to heal your heart, mind and body. Take one day at a time and try to block and ask God for forgiveness then forgive yourself and then ask God to heal your heart, ask for a healthy mind, I'm really truly sorry you are going through your pain and trauma and your loss. God is love and that's where you should seek refuge. I'll be the person and apologize. I'm truly sorry and I will pray for you only. You deserve all blessings and I hope you gain whatever your trying to achieve if it is positive. I discovered that honesty can make you self conscious and the fear that someone could truly want you for you as you are scars and battle wounds and all. to give you a place of rest in this world to have someone to go and turn to. To love you without any motives. May God Bless you in all you do.

I wish I could reach out and be his friend. I felt every word. Being let down so much by adults as a kid had me like this for a long time. It’s better but I still struggle to connect with people

[@PancakeBO]

This though . This was a truly amazing interview. I WISH life wasnt so dog eat dog to really help each other.

[@tayloramari121305]

God i just wanna hug him right now

[@ms.carpenter7793]

GOD is GOOD... He is now officially playing for BIG3 on 3's Company team tomorrow on CBS and Paramount +

[@shamanllama]

Im tired too brother i feel you. I hope to god he's better a year later.

Beasley here reminds of the final scenes in the Joker movie where he blows up ““Why is everybody so upset about these guys? If that was me dying on the sidewalk you’d walk right over me. I pass you everyday and you don’t notice me.” What’s sad is we do notice Michael Beasley. There are good people out there that want the best for him but he’s been so hurt and betrayed throughout his entire life being used, abused and exploited that now that he doesn’t have the one thing he could fall back on every night in basketball it’s like he’s completely lost his ability to live life as it’s supposed to go. He’s like a lost dog in the middle of an unknown city unwilling to trust anyone because of the pain he’s had to endure so much when there are in fact many people out there in search to save a stray and scared being. I wish the best for you Michael. I hope you get to play in the NBA for a longer time but if not I just hope you can find the right people to be around you so you can find a way a life without basketball

[@kerroywilliams]

This moved me!!! He really just need somebody to see him!! I hope these guys really surround him!!

[@LoveAngelBaby]

My first time seeing this wow!! This broke my heart ♥️ 😞💪🏽 he was so honest.

[@jeffrey_mbugua]

This is deep , i pray 🙏🏾 he gets through this situation.

[@teresawashington1374]

THIS HAS TOUCH ME. I JUST WANT GIVE HIM A HUG. GOD TOUCH HIM.

[@Bullyball77]

One of, if not the realest interview I've ever watched. Left me speachless.

[@mrdiscrepancy]

I relate to his entire lifestyle. From focusing, to giving up on people due to not being able to find good people, and not partying and regularly going to social areas. I’m so tired, and I know how it feels. I know how multi-wavelength thinking operates, and this is what happens when you begin to develop thought on a different plane. His part on how fake it is being black, and the grim reality of the explicit usage of cameras, even how disrespectful people are. How people are able to make jokes about these kinds of topics is astounding, but my generation is the biggest generator of them. Being able go joke about life, death, and everything in between is and has always been prohibited to me to an extent.

[@wandyoh]

My heart is broken for this man. That's so painful to watch. I've cried like a baby!!!! I am so sorry for what he is feeling. I hope he has since gotten help. ♥️

[@marquelwhitfield2890]

Man I can relate on so many levels

[@karenwilliams1442]

I pray that he gets the help that he needs. This made me cry. He's hurting so much. For those of you that considered yourself his friend, shame on you! I'd never desert my friend in time of need. Please Michael trust someone, just one person at a time, and allow them to help you please!!!! You're so deserving of so much better than what's been happening to you in your life. Learn from it, grow from it, overcome it, and live your life to the fullest! I'm sending you love and support all the way from Cali. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ YOU will be the the Victor no longer the victim! God Bless You.

[@UnderConstruction1017]

Always have respect for this man since day 1

[@tanw3548]

Wow this broke my heart…i just wanna hug that man! I pray he finds some good people 🫶🏾

[@Itsjustce7ine]

I hope that they held him up and help him get to a good space because that was definitely a cry for help

[@ROSH1503]

The Pivot is very real for this one! I love REAL interactions like this, so organic and unfiltered. Thanks for Beasley for having the courage to be this open in a massive platform and show his vulnerability, lot of people including me can relate! Thanks to the guys for supporting this man! One of the hardest things in life is to find people who are real and put others above their own needs, it’s very rare but if you don’t look for those people, you are missing out on an aspect of quality of life and happiness! I hope Beasley finds some people he can truely be good with and socially acclimate himself!

[@kennethlamarkingsr9109]

I feel his pain so much. I have given my all to my kids and ex never enough. Married my soulmate she died from Covid ripped my heart out. Like B I’m tired and I just can’t go on like this. I got money,truck home paid for not happy just tired 🙏🏽

[@kevinchan9822]

I felt that in my soul...we love you brother and only you are important
