The Fabrication of Social Media w/Donnell Rawlings | Joe Rogan

There's no way you're gonna get through this life without some mental struggle. There's no way. No way. It's not possible because if you just sit around and do nothing, you'll be filled with angst. It can't do that just because of the world. There's just so much shit going on. There's too much shit going on. Everybody's got struggles. There's no way around it. No way around it. And the person that don't have a struggle with them motherfuckers is probably that close to being suicidal. You know what I'm saying? People that died are the ones that go first. I think a strong community is important. You know, having a lot of people around you that you love. You know, family, friends. Like that's important too. People that you could talk to. Like when you feel loved. I think one of the real problems with people that just doesn't feel fixable is when they feel alone. Like them by themselves. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't feel like they're in a group. They don't feel like they're in a community. They just feel like nobody gives a fuck about them whether they live or die. And that's one of the saddest feelings I think you could have. How could you make somebody feel like that? That's just awful to make somebody... But then those same people probably don't have that one person that they can confide in. That one person that's not going to bullshit them. The one person that doesn't want anything. Right. If you don't have anyone in your life, you don't have anybody that's telling you the truth or lying. And there's a lot of people out there that are real lonely that only exist on the internet. The internet is the most fabricated, lonely place in the world. And it's so... It's interesting because it's like... Especially what we do is you feel like you need it. But then after a while this shit is just so fucking overwhelming. And it's so easy for a person to carve out the perfect life. People will tell you like, oh my God, I thought you was having so much fun on vacation. You know how fucking many takes it takes to get that perfect picture? To show everybody that your life is the fucking bomb. Yeah. It's just a not... It's not an accurate representative of anybody's life. And it's everywhere... And that's where everybody wants to show their lives. I said... You tell... Average chick, right? I won't say on the street, but it's an average woman. If you tell them that I want to take you on a vacation. Anywhere in the world you want to go. But you can't bring a phone. You know what half of the motherfuckers would say? Let me think about that. Because nobody wants to have a memory and share memory just from the memory they have. It's like they wanted to get validated. They wanted people to get the thumbs up and everything.
