45:59 - "To a certain degree, we are responsible for our partner's feelings and it's our job to help make them feel better. But it can quickly cross into toxicity if you become solely responsible for their feelings." Love Dr. K's perspective on codependency. So many other KZbinrs proclaim that you should never, ever be even the tiniest bit responsible for your partner's feelings, or else all hell will break loose.

Similar story but I'm also autistic and charisma on command really helped me back then and Dr K is helping me now as my latest special interest. I'm training to be a teacher instead though. I have a theory that charisma on command must help a lot of autistic people. I like to think of it as the empathy and compassion is there with autistic people, these youtube channels taught me better ways to show it.

It's opened me up to so many ideas and ways of thinking and really helped me better understand myself and others. Everyone reading this should go check it out. It was awesome to see Charlie pop up in a Dr K video and see such a raw and vulnerable conversation like this. This is probably my favourite video I've seen from either of them.

I've watched this conversation/interview a few times already and I just noticed, in maybe my 5th watch, how Charlie active listens very well. He reviews and repeats what he just heard, sometimes with his own input. It is something easy to see Dr K doing all the time, but it's my first time noticing the interviewee doing the same! Amazing talk!

Thank you Charlie for sharing your experience. I’m going through similar introspection and exploration, though from a different path. What Dr. K said is true, the specific details of your stories have incredible resonance, more than just reading psychological literature. I’m certain I’m not alone in that. Being in a place where you can share this live, recorded, with an audience…ultimate charisma.

[@salgadev]

Truly next level stuff and a dynamic between guys that we should see more often.

[@Eminent_wolf]

I've never seen this side of Charlie. this side is so thoroughly deep and authentic and good to hear and experience. i guess this is the effect dr. k has on people

[@diamondgarcia9409]

He has a podcast full of this now. (Dropping in podcast)

[@Nairozet]

People have always said that i'm great with words and explaining myself, but after listening to the first 45 minutes, i am in awe. Charlie has expressed himself in such a great way, that i felt like he was telling my story. So many things he experienced and struggled with were mine as well. It's really incredible when i hear people so young and have already achieved so much. Things sound so easy, but to actually work with AND on your issues and struggles is quite demanding.

[@Azendas]

Wow, it was so surprising seeing this in my feed. Being a follower of both Charlie and Dr. K for a few years, it's the crossover I've always wanted to see! Thank you!

[@KxNOxUTA]

This was a very lovely stream and it's so stuffed and rich with really good information. Loved it!

[@ChristianBrugger]

I feel grateful about this conversation. And I notice a huge relaxation in me. Seeing Charlie go to these stages and naming them brings so much acceptance for my own path. Looking back at my path I see many parallels. I have a lot of shame about the 'mistakes' I made, and watching this made me realize that those have beauty too. It's okay to figure things out. To not be perfect. That's what I take away.

[@starciacockett9912]

Holy crap I relate to him trying to make others comfortable so much. I never knew how to put it into words but have always felt like I try too hard to make other's happy. It's as if it stretches beyond compassion and into a feeling of responsibility. And the amount of discomfort he feels is exactly how I feel in those moments. I can't physically relax until they are relaxed.

Don't try, don't strive. Be who you are, met yourself where you're at, be ok with that :) PD: If where you're at is too attached to trying to let go, then that's ok too.

[@bringerod5141]

I mean a big part of where he is now is accepting yourself, not creating or changing yourself. Sure it can put you in situations that you will discover yourself and that was why it was healthy for him in his 20's. Just make sure you do what feels right for you and don't look for pleasing your ego through external means. Or else you might find yourself somewhere you didn't want to end up (but it is never too late to take a different path).

I don't intend for this to be an insult, so I'm going to start by saying that Charlie is a handsome guy. However, his stare and grin would really make for a great bad guy in the movies. One of those sinister types that is smarter than everyone and uses it to his advantage for nefarious purposes.

[@Zekaisa]

[@thraciandude]

Ooh thats an interesting image. Looking at him from that angle, he would remind me of Isabella from the promised neverland

[@SirEmrik]

It's kinda weird seeing this story of Charlie. Charlie has always had the biggest smiles I've ever seen. I watched his videos religously a couple of years ago, until I got to a point that I felt he was just just another dude reurgitating books he's read. It's not that he ever said or claimed something I knew to be false, but I just felt like I wasn't the right recipient I listened to this video, and I'm not done, but wow, this must be one of Dr. K's best videos. I feel more connected to charlie than ever, and I have more respect of him than I ever had. We all have our battles, some smaller, some greater. I'm sad for what charlie has experienced, no one should experience that. But the path Charlie has taken, deserves commends. Alexander Solshenitzyn spoke of how a group of people will split and behave increasingly different, after a traumatizing event. One group will be cynical bullys that want to "Push the pain forward", one group will be the non-cynical people who resolves the pain. Charlie in my book is a great dude. This video is like naruto vs Sasuke, or Son goku vs vegeta, the guest this time overshines the host, and if you are reading this Dr. K, I want to assure I mean this in the most possible way, Charlie is Vegeta, he just make you go "fuck, I understimated you, huh?"

That was so powerful to me, especially as a kid whose parents always had high expectations. They definitely weren't as strict as lots of other parents but hearing Charlie say that just gave me a completely different perspective on how my parents view me ❤️ thank you

[@iferlyf8172]

Charisma on command, oh the nostalgia! That channel really helped me make sense of the social world as an autistic. I didn't follow all of their advice as that would be masking, but being told how people tend to interpret x or y behaviors and what they mean when they do a and b was really useful

I have to be honest, the first ~2/3 of the video I was not connecting with this person. It really felt like Charlie was very performative and not really being open. this may have been a result of his anxiety and desire to be "valuable". I have never seen any of his streams or videos, but in the last 20 minutes or so, it really felt like the conversation became more real and connected. I appreciate the whole experience.

[@bringerod5141]

1:08:00 this is something I have come to realise recently. My partner for example always wants to do stuff and is really quick to make plans for us with friends or family or something. However what I need in my life is to have space to be impulsive or get the chance to start to want to do something. We have started to plan for having an empty schedule and that has helped some but it is hard, especially since I also want to please my partner by making plans.

[@salgadev]

It's always a balancing act, producing, being a good partner and having me time. But also you should be able to cancel plans or say stuff like "please go ahead without me this time" or just have a flexible time slot for whatever without it being an issue. I'm in a similar situation.

[@benkesallai]

[@TumblinWeeds]

This is eye opening. Tbh I’ve never engaged with Charisma on Demand, always thought he was one of those red pill pua guys. It’s interesting to see how he’s matured over the years and how self aware he is now. I find that often we think of an Internet personality as static and unchanging, either toxic or wholesome, but a lot of channels are run by real people living and improving themselves, trial and error, driven by their own dreams and demons.

[@Sethbeastalan]

That's good to hear! I remember being turned off way in the past because he posted examples of Tywin in Game of Thrones dominating and intimidating others as a good thing.

[@capt.keinskill313]

His Clickbaitey Titels and Thumbnails with like JP, Tate, Heisenberg, Peaky Blinders and such are just an army of red (pill) Flag to me. But after skimming through a couple of videos, the advice they give is oftentimes really solid and stuff that I already learned in other ways.

[@Rellikan]

He was never really red pill. All he talked about (atleast at the beginning) was how to behave interpersonally. He talked about it from male or female perspectives. Talked about dynamics in a group settings. How to stand out appropriately. Basically overcoming hurdles in conversation and overcoming the nerves.

[@Rellikan]

COC could be considered PUA. But redpill these days talk a lot about statistics and systemic things.

[@KaneYong-t7z]

The real challenge now is not comparing the quality of every conversation I have with this interaction

[@oroderes]

I saw his videos recommended, and I always kind of overlooked it because it seemed a little far fetched and click-baity, and I dismissed selling "charisma" as a fake way to be in contact with people... Now I realize I've been prejudiced and a little silly, this was profound, Charlie's path is relatable and went further than I expected, and this was a very stimulating discussion! I'm gonna watch some of his videos. The part about finding out what really hits the spot in the job you're doing really resonated, I think it's an important question to ask yourself!

They aren't saying that you don't need food or rent money (in this economy lul) Everyone deserves that! It's the wild dreams, success of various kinds not just financial, that they are wishing for us to achieve both for our own enjoyment and for us to understand their limitations. Also I don't believe it is disingenuous, you might take it as "I'm so many levels above you my goals are incomprehensible to your puny brain" but I don't think it was at all related to bragging or trying to put people down.

[@zoruauser]

That talk about "Rotating sensory" when it comes to relieving chronic pain, it does unfortunately make me think of a recent car accident my wife and I got in. It didn't hurt in the moment, but later that night I had a bruise found on my chest where my seatbelt was. I do, however, remember feeling a huge rush of adrenaline when I saw we were about to hit the rear of a truck at 40mph.
