Funny you say that. This is one of the first thing they teach you in theatre school ; how to truly listen to someone so you don't seem like you're on the scene just waiting for you turn to say your lines. That's acting 101. No doubts, this listening forged him into a great actor.

I’m not into celebrities and don’t follow celebrity culture at all but one day a couple of years ago an interview with Pete davidson popped up on you tube and even though I didn’t have a clue who he was I watched it. I was blown away by his honesty and vulnerability and felt very touched by what he shared. I now watch everything he does and search his name in you tube every few months to see if he’s done any more interviews. It takes an incredibly strong person to speak so openly like he does. I find myself really rooting for him in life. I literally want all of his dreams in life to come true. No one else is so deserving. We love you Pete. Keep shining your light. The world needs more people like you. Hold your boundaries with this world, you don’t owe the press or fans anything. Peace and love

This made me cry. I'm still crying. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder about a year ago and everything made sense.

Putting himself out there like this, on such a large platform, under the microscope scrutiny, that comes with social media, is so damn admirable. I don’t think the every day person can comprehend/relate ( I certainly can’t ), so how vulnerable public figures are, having their lives out there like they do. No one forced them to, but I still empathize deeply, because it was the price they were willing to pay, in order to pursue their passion. I think conversations like this, are vital, to men, and just people in general. Thanks guys 🙏

I relate to Pete so much in this.. the struggle with abandonment is something I’ve dealt with since I was a kid and I’m so happy I saw a clip on Instagram and came over to watch this.

Ive had probably 20/30 different therapists since the age of 10 and I feel like this helped me more than the years of therapy under my belt. So for that thank you for making this channel and sticking with it. It helped me and I’m sure it helps many many more. God bless.

[@Shutinbanshee]

Seriously having a person with that high of a status, has honestly made me feel good about always sharing my struggles with mental illness. It’s a lifelong disability that has its ups and downs, other people are our downfall with specifically BPD. The piece on how he’s explaining on how everybody’s struggle is huge for them. And the part when he speaks in breaking down on just wanting to watch Family Guy, and is scream crying about everything else and that.. It’s insane on how little stuff like that can seem so little, and pathetic. But to those who are pent up, and struggle daily with mental issues, it’s our life… Keep your head up, the good times come in waves, but don’t let the bad times wash away how far you’ve came..

I'm 72 (lord, how did that happen?) and my daughter, almost thirty now, loves your humor too. That says a lot, I think. I just heard you say that your mom is "awesome" -- damn straight! She IS awesome, she must be! I loved the skit you two did together on SNL (that's been long ago now)l. I think your sister was in it too, mayb? Stay well.

I have PTSD and BPD and man he is spot on!! I am going to order that book because I can't find mental health help here in Eastern Kentucky. But I get it, when things are good, I'm like whelp, the sky will be falling any second now. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!!! My heart goes out to Pete!! ♥♥♥

The book is all you really need. DBT Therapy is a plus for those who can afford it. All the best on your journey towards healing ❤️‍🩹

You can tell Jon is so interested in listening to him talk. He’s just leaning forward with his hand on his chin the whole time.

I lost my Dad in my mid twenties and my Mom in my early thirties. Every now and then when people are joking around (close friends) I'll make a dead parent joke. I get it can make some people uncomfortable, but it usually gets a laugh and I get to remember them both in that moment. It was never a 'feel sorry for me' moment.

The feeling of oh shit I'm not the only one who feels like that is strange but comforting at the same time
