What drives perfectionism and self-criticism? | Peter Attia and Paul Conti

[@Sandy-of6gq]

This way eye opening to listen. Bet a lot of us have that unhelpful inflammatory voice inside, I definitely do lol

The "you are not good enough" is in most of the cases coming from a narcisistic parent and that is all that is to it.

Another problem is the environment is demanding to the person, pushing him to perfection. It's especially true is you are self-employed and have no other way but not to control everything yourself. If something unfortunate happens, it's your responsibility to prevent or fix it, otherwise the consequences will affect you which will make you underperformant for the present day. In the end, world doesn't care about you.

I'm a robot to avoid criticism but it attracts it

This guy look just like “skinny” Joey Merlino. People from Philly will know….

I wish he wasn't so annoying to listen to but he says "right" after almost everything he says. And once I noticed it, I can't unhear it and it distracts me to where I lose track of what's been said.

Interesting to comment about your own psychological quirks as if it’s useful to anyone. The use of “right” after phrases comes from Silicon Valley and has proliferated in American speech. It has several complicated inferences, some negative and some fairly deferential. He also repeats the commonly used “sort of” which gained popularity in academic speech but has since waned. If it’s distracting to you, well that’s on you. I’m sorry you are so distracted that you can’t discern the useful information being communicated here and instead not only are distracted by enough to comment on it. Ironically, your comment is itself a use of the term “right.” You are saying, “this is what I am experiencing and I imagine you are, too…right?” You’re fishing for likes. Common. Oh, so common. So back at you. My advice, for what it’s worth, is to actually listen to the video itself and attempt to understand what they’re saying. Then keep it to yourself to avoid revealing yourself unnecessarily. ☮️

PS: listening to it again, your fixation is pathological. Both people, Attia and Conti, do NOT say “right” repeatedly. They simply do not. Conti says “right” a COUPLE TIMES. If that’s bothering to you, well, that is utterly, completely and pathologically on you. Use that knowledge to fix yourself. In fact, both people are remarkably free of modern speech affectations. AND, most importantly, this video has a LOT to commend itself in terms of content. A lot. Don’t worry, be happy! 😊

@@tommyrq180 first off, *know* that your existence, including your comment, mean nothing to me. Your comment was meant to belittle someone's opinion while showcasing some kind superiority about nonsense that has absolutely nothing to with you. Which showcases you as a pompous ass. My comment wasn't directed at this 10 minute. I was talking about a series of episodes he was guest speaking in for another podcast. Unfortunately I didn't make it through. I haven't watched the full length video of this for that reason. I wish I could. As for pathological, going back to re-watch this just because of this comment is pathology and pathetic.

It sounds like a filler like when people say “like” as a way to say you’re understanding what I’m saying. They don’t say “right” that much also it doesn’t seem intentional
