This podcast really helped me. I suffer from debilitating anxiety. Agoraphobia. And hearing Morgan say hey face it. Deal with it. And keep living. I almost canceled my hair appointment bc of my condition and I said screw it. I can do this. I can leave my house and be okay. And you know what? I am!

[@michaeltompert3389]

@@itscharliearthur9094a book I found helpful although it simply states the obvious was “Do it Anyway” from an author who spent 30 years in therapy. The idea being just go do your life despite your depression. Action, doing this, getting busy takes time away from lying in bed and going down the rabbit hole. And as you do things you ACTUALLY get better, just thinking about what’s wrong and what you COULD do or SHOULD HAVE done differently and finding things and people to blame and excuses for staying idle just drag you deeper in the hole. Trouble is once you’re way down there it gets really really hard to just brush your teeth. Ask for help. Ask a friend to give you a couple of days to get up the ladder far enough that you can keep climbing out of the hole. SRIs can stop the ladder rungs from breaking underneath your feet. Wish you good luck. And look up at the sky. There’s heaven above you.

Don’t normally agree with you Piers but he’s spot on on this one. Resilience is key. I’m a consultant mental health mentor for students and have found just talking to the students about this has helped enormously making them realise it’s not abnormal to feel anxious, low and emotionally challenged at times.

[@pheona1000]

You do great work!

[@geel1866]

I think you appreciated him because he has time to completely and fully express himself, his ideas feelings, thoughts & opinions without being in a 15 minute segment on a panel interrupting and nobody truly able to say their full true meaning & feelings about any topic. That's why I don't watch these filler segments in talk/gossip entertainment or variety news shows. The host & guest are both great and respectful without trying to up each other with their wits. I truly love this show.

@@Patsy950 I've always felt it was a weakness of his that he often talks all over people to try and browbeat them, and doesn't actually listen to their questions or answers.

I kept finding myself saying "answer the question!!"

@@NS-xt5wvTrue. Tate handled him well. Called him out on it. When they had their second interview Piers was better. It was good for people to see the whole thing without little snippets being taken out of context and cutting off any elaboration etc.

[@willsmith39]

I totally disagree and I have no great love for Piers Morgan. This is a completely different format, it's long form ( literally over an hour and no ad breaks save for Steven telling us about the "journey" he's been on with Huel ) This type of podcast is about finding out who the person is, it's not supposed to confront them or be combatative. A program like Piers one on Talk TV is a completely different format, it's short segments usually about something very specific or topical. If you let the guest talk unchallenged they'll just filibuster, especially politicians who literally specialise in talking for hours whilst saying nothing at all usually. All the sad Tate fanboys were outraged that Piers had the temerity to challenge their hero on the utter bullshit he trots out, which he did a horrible job of defending for anyone remotely objective. Which I consider myself to be far more than the guy above in this comments section given I find Piers tiresome and irritating every bit as much as Tate. But actually in that interview where Tate would just have gassed on endlessly, having Piers challenge him was effective, particularly his ridiculous semantic gymnastics dodge rather than either just owning what he said or saying he no longer believed it. Either of those would be honest responses, not the one he went with which was classic victimhood bullshit that you're so misunderstood..

[@kiki29073]

That's just a part of Piers 0eraona. He wouldn't be Piers otherwise.

[@llmurphy9806]

Man, I like this guy. Very insightful. The media makes him out to be insensitive to others. He definitely speaks his mind and the world could benefit from people being authentic and telling the truth with good intentions.

[@geel1866]

I hope more ,people, learn, before you judge a person, a show or a thought, listen or watch it yourself then and only then can you be the judge and have your own opinion and share it... I never understood movie critics, where people will wait to hear their opinion before the see or choose not to see a movie, please dont let the people that helps thise critics laugh all the way to the bank live in American that doesn't use their own brain, their own thoughts...that's scary.

I never thought the day would come when I agree with Piers, but I'm really glad he's speaking up about cancel culture. I find it very disturbing. How can people believe they have the moral high ground when they're so full of hatred that they take delight in destroying the lives of others and incite others to do so too?

[@Buymycourse2day]

Because bigoted people are equally as loud and full of hatred and take a delight in destroying the lives of others and incite others to do so. I believe it’s not an issue of the cancel culture since both sides do the same thing. Humans are just trash and we’ve always controlled each other. We can only hope we go more or less the right way 👍

[@omegaomega730]

What do you think he's trying to do with Meghan Markle every 5 second he ranting on about her because she ghosted him. And your praising him for standing up to angry people trying to cancel people while he's doing it to Meghan. If you had a brain cell you'd be dangerous

[@samanthacummins2643]

I agree. I think he has put himself across in this interview in a much calmer way than he usually does. The way he is usually so sensationalist is what turns people away from him, and people don't to listen to him. I still don't agree with all of his opinions (which is entirely what they are, rather than facts), however I would be more inclined to listen to him speak if he always did it in this way

[@karendegenerous8044]

The second AJS in a row that has to be put right: "People" written as you wrote it means everybody in the world, as you don't specify exactly who you mean, therefore you're stating that everyone in the world is that way, and that's obviously crazily bonkers and most furthest from the truth. All you have to do is add the word "certain" before "people" and that would be good enough. But having said that as for your main part of those specific people who have become that way, on the moral high ground in their own opinion, and think they have the right to be like a new Adolf Hitler or Benjamin Netanyahu and knowingly try to destroy peoples lives at their pleasure, for a sick few hours of entertainment for themselves before they go back to their own self-made depression, like my previous Doctor Christopher Longstaff tried, then yes you're absolutely right and these people need to be destroyed IMO.

[@becbec3541]

What he says about mental health vs mental illness is true. My mum has suffered from horrendous mental health issues my whole life and is now confined to a secure care home at the age of 62. I’m so so sick of people claiming to have mental health issues when in fact they are just having a bad day or worse, are using mental health as an excuse for their behaviour or lifestyle. I know a number of people who have absolutely done this so I won’t be convinced otherwise. It’s normal to feel stress, sadness, anxiety, fear etc… that’s life! If your job, relationship, appearance etc… is making you stressed or unhappy then change it, don’t just jump on the mental health bandwagon. It belittles and undermines those who have serious genuine problems and gives the perfect excuse for people who want to place blame on something other than themselves. It’s also stretching mental health services to breaking point when they should only be used by those who genuinely need them, not people that just can’t or won’t cope with life’s ups and downs. Sorry but that’s the truth in many cases.

Services are stretched due to people being referred to a service who are not mentally Ill but instead believe they are due to what society tells them. You are allowed to be sad without being depressed but if it continues for months or you are no longer being able to continue as usual then that is concerning!

[@pheona1000]

Jo, Jo. I respect your view totally as I have friends who are teachers and who are fed up with the apparent world view that teachers have to make up for all of societal failures by filling in the gaps of absent or inadequate parenting. However, I do believe that given the amount of time children are in school compared to the time spent at home, I am wondering if there is any merit in some of the life skills that Piers mentioned that could be taught at school - not by teachers perhaps but by other adults ? Perhaps volunteers could run a programme for this? I have met wonderful retired people whose chaotic childhoods were turned around by a teacher who went above and beyond and who steered them onto a more positive path and who would be willing to give something back to children who may benefit from such a programme. After all, it does indeed take a village to raise a child. Regards to all.

[@iceprincessone7168]

Totally agree with Piers - GREAT interview !

[@pheona1000]

Piers is right about the principle of 'resilience.' It is the greatest skill a child can learn. It also needs to be taught to adults with mental health issues in order for them to have any chance of a reasonable quality of life and begin to function again in society.

[@Mrgolfboy24]

Piers Morgan really inspires me to get back to who I really am as a person! Brutally honest, direct, mentally tough, resillient. Since the pandemic hit I have become a wallowing pussycat, lost my job, etc...I have lost confidence and become far to agreeable and pathetic. I used to be a confident, opiniated person. Time to get on the offensive again! Thank you, Piers :)

Thank you for this interview as it gave me a whole new perspective of Piers. I'm all about debate and perspective. I work in the therapy world and do believe resilience is important. I teach clients that stress is a life event and will be for your whole life. It's meant to keep you alive. So learning how to effectively deal with it is a life skill. I love your podcast and it always leaves me having new perspective ❤

[@JCX-9]

So very true about stress. We all get stress just need to learn how to handle it well and to our benefit instead of feeling sorry for ourselves. I think today’s generation is ill prepared to deal with it though. I am glad i grew up when stress wasn’t even talked about. It wasn’t a thing like now. We just dealt with issues as they came and took them in stride. And i can say i have never seen people on medication like we do now. Young people on antidepressants. Unheard of. We are creating crutches for dealing with life issues instead of showing them how to handle life’s situations and that they are normal part of life and no need to be medicated to deal with them.

Steve is just an empathetic and rational person at the same time. He pointed out the flaws in Piers reasoning so respectfully regarding the wallowing.I love this podcast.

[@supertrexandroidx]

Agree. But Piers wasn't wrong, either. The whole reason that so many people now are more likely to "misunderstand" the use of the word is exactly because so many many of them have been raised with this propensity to give in to self-pity, to think that normal life problems are somehow not normal. This is partly a generational thing: I think hardly anyone over 50 is going to be as much a victim of their emotions as the younger generations now (nor were they ever), and the younger generations are all likely to think that the older generations just aren't "enlightened" enough and don't "understand." To some extent, there's nothing new about that. ;)

[@MelindaLBrown1830]

Piers is of course entitled to his opinion. His toxic energy is repulsive. I wonder what he contributes to the world, other than contention? I was disappointed Steve had him on the show. However, people such as Piers are entitled to their 15-minutes. I listened to the interview hoping to see a different side of Piers other than a big mouth talker who considers no one else other than himself; he is who he chooses to be.

[@dreamydaze]

I’m really enjoying this interview with Piers, I was never really a fan of him, however, he is showing me a side of him that maybe was always there, but because of the media or the medium that he was involved in, I missed so it’s nice to see, and hear the person without all the noise around him and just see this person as a person. He is actually I believe a better person than I thought he was and for that iam humbled and asking forgiveness for making assumptions about a person that I really didn’t know and this is why this podcast and KZbin channel is so important.

A lot of what he says is actually so refreshing and true. And for all the shit this man gets and will continue to get, our world would struggle without people like this, people who are willing to take a different perspective (especially on such a large platform) and approach things with absolute honesty and not just go with the 'safe' truth.

[@amimibap]

I think the problem with feeling the need to have a strong opinion on every thing is that you have to simplify everything in order to do that. I know I used to do that a lot as well. But when it comes to human and societal issues, there are just soooo many factors that come into play. Also Piers may have experienced a lot of adversity himself and he may have managed to get himself out of it using his own version of resilience, but people are different and people face different types of adversities which means they need different types of resilience to get them out. Most of what Piers said I agree with it 50%. I find myself constantly thinking, “yes that’s true. I agree with that. However…” thinking in black and white doesn’t make sense. And drawing parallels between animals and people doesn’t quite work either. If we just think about the main differences between most wild animals and humans, it’s the self reflection, empathy, and the fact that our society evolves way quicker than our brains. So you can’t apply a solution for wild animals to humans, because the truth is that our environment has a significant impact on how our brain develops. Also I think he underestimates how having a family that’s supportive of individualism is a huuuuuge privilege. The way your brain develops is so different when you grow up around good role models who encourage you to be your own person, vs when you’re living in constant fear and in survival mode because you’ve always been shows that bad things happen when you don’t do exactly as you’re told. Either way, I get what piers is saying and again, there’s a lot I can somewhat agree with, but I think he’s missing perspective of people from very different walks of life, and education about all of these psychological issues. Even he himself can’t define the line between wallowing and genuine issues. Also piers please let people talk. You can’t claim to be open minded and have all this great perspective if you don’t let other people speak!

[@lindaarthur8385]

Couldn't agree more!! Piers claims that he loves debate and that everyone ought to have an opinion. However you.need at least 2 people to debate and an opinion is worthless unless it is heard. Because of his continual talking over and constant interruptions he nine times out of ten does not leave room for those opinions to be expressed. .
