00:00I'm wearing a blanket on my head and didn't have a problem with it until I
00:06pressed record, and now it's just very... I'm just very aware of the fact that I
00:14have a blanket on my head. Should I take it off? No.
00:19Calling the person who talks about things
00:24So this Types on Tuesday is going to be about not caring what people think, or on
00:31the other side, caring what they think. I think it's very easy to let other people
00:38influence you and other people's opinions influence your own opinions, but
00:44I do see value in having your own. So I'm working on a thing where I don't ask for
00:52external reassurance, and somebody commented on my New Year's resolution
00:56because they had a similar resolution, which was to not look outside as much
01:01and to look within, and that can be confusing when a lot of what you have
01:07found within has been from what you found outside of you. It's like, I like, I
01:14wear earmuffs in the winter, and did I first wear earmuffs because I saw
01:20someone else, or because I was gifted the earmuffs, or did I actually wear them
01:25because I'm like, this won't make my hair messy, and will also keep my ears warm,
01:31and I think they're cute, and I'm just gonna wear them forever and always. The
01:36answer is, usually for me, I'm first influenced, and then later I'll justify
01:41it and be like, oh yeah, these are the best ever. And I'd like to more often
01:47choose the thing, choose a thing myself. I chose to put this blanket on my head,
01:54and I'm sticking to it, because I'm cozy, and I shouldn't have to think about so
02:01much about what people are going to think about that. If you're offended by
02:07this, I'm really sorry. Have you guys heard of Aubrey Plaza? She's an actress,
02:15and I was told a couple times that I reminded people of her, and then I ended
02:21up looking her up, and then I eventually watched Parks and Rec, the TV show that
02:26she's on. She kind of exudes this confidence, this coolness, like, I feel
02:35like she seems like she doesn't care what people think. She just kind of does
02:39her thing, is unapologetically her, and I think that's awesome.
02:44There's this interview of her with Ellen, and it's hilarious, and she seems to be
02:51making people feel uncomfortable, but it's just funny, and also just, it's cool
02:59because it's just her, and she's not backing down. And usually when people
03:04feel awkward, or if you're seemingly awkward, you try to adjust and like be
03:08less awkward, but she really owns it, embraces it, and like enhances it, which I
03:14think is nice. I have a lot of respect for that. I have a lot of respect for
03:20people who own who they are, and the reason that I pick her out is one,
03:27because people told me I reminded them of her, and two, because she's a more
03:32introverted character. Her personality is on the introverted side, and it's less
03:40common, I feel like, to see someone owning that than it is to see someone owning
03:45their extroverted side. I feel like a lot of times, at least in America, a lot of
03:52more gregarious personalities get rewarded more, especially in Hollywood,
04:00I'm sure, and in women, but I think it's cool that if you're not that way- if you
04:05are that way, great, but if you aren't that way, instead of trying to fight it
04:09and be that way, embrace your sort of quiet. A confident quiet is cool. A
04:18confident anything is cool, and even being confident in the tentativeness
04:24that you might have, that doesn't have to be the opposite of confident. Those two
04:30can coincide, I feel like, or coexist. Sorry, my camera kept dying. So the
04:37commonality between these people who told me I reminded them of Aubrey Plaza,
04:43they were people I did not like, and I think that's interesting because when I
04:52look back, why would I remind these three men of Aubrey Plaza? And I came up with a
05:05few reasons. Well, firstly, I was being sarcastic, but I was also not stepping
05:09back. I was not apologizing. I was not, like, seeing if they were okay with it
05:14because they were strangers, and because the stakes were low, and I was never
05:20gonna see them again, and it didn't matter, and I didn't care for them, so I
05:25didn't really care what they thought about me. And so, um, I think it's cool
05:31that I seemed like her, because I think that she has this very, um, bold nature,
05:39and sometimes I wish that I had more of that. But why do I just have it with
05:45people who don't like me? I think I do also get in certain moods where I'll own
05:49it more, or certain sort of performing states of mind. So a goal of mine is to
05:57kind of access that place where I'm just not stepping down, and just being
06:01who I am, and thinking a little bit less about other people. Which sounds like a
06:07not, um, it sounds like a not very nice goal, but I think that some people care
06:14too much, and some people don't care enough. And while I do think it's cool to
06:19care, I think it's important to have your passions, or I think it's cool to, like,
06:24love something, or to care about humanity, and I appreciate that, those
06:31qualities. But I also think it's cool to just let go after some, after a certain
06:39point. To just say, this is who I am, and not ruminate, and just let it be. And so,
06:47it's all about finding balance, right? And I think it's a bit of, um, it go, it wavers.
06:56So it's like, sometimes you might care more, care less, but all in all, I think I
07:03care a bit too much, and it can lead to sort of anxious thoughts that might be
07:09more detrimental to me than helpful. And so I'm gonna work on trying to let
07:15things go, and just wear the blankie over my head, and have, and look within and
07:24have my own opinions, and stick to it. I have a lot of goals, but you know what
07:31I'm saying? Like, really own it. Because you can own your sort of quiet too. There
07:39are lots of extroverts owning it, and that's cool too, but it's more rewarded
07:44in our culture to be that way. And with that, I hope wherever you are, you kind of
07:52can find sort of a balance. And if you care too much, maybe letting some things
07:58go a bit. Or if you don't care enough, maybe trying to learn to find some
08:05compassion for other people, and how they might feel. But all in all, we can't just
08:10walk around worrying that we're gonna make someone uncomfortable, because we
08:15don't know other people's reality. All we have is our perception, and if we
08:22take that too seriously, then are we even really enjoying our lives to as much as
08:31we can. I feel like Very Merry Videos with my blanket, because she used to do
08:37the backdrop blanket. That would be a cool band maybe, backdrop blanket.
08:47Shout out to Merry Videos, and I'm gonna do a Very Merry Videos sort of
08:53thing, and show you my new boots. These boots are really cool, and I don't care
09:03what anyone has to say, I love them, and I'm excited.
