In this episode 81 of We’re Not Experts Podcast, the hosts Tez and Mac discuss life lessons and social dynamics through personal stories around attraction, friendships, confidence, and moral boundaries. Key topics include understanding where one “sits” on the attraction scale, choosing friends carefully because of their influence, maintaining confidence even when self-esteem is low, how behavior and value are perceived differently in casual vs committed contexts, and the importance of boundaries. 🔍 Major Points of Discussion 👥 Friendship & Environment Influence Who you hang out with shapes your future. Surroundings can drag you down or lift you up. “If your homeboy gets shot, you can get shot” stresses the risks of negative company. 🎭 Attraction Scale & Self-Perception Attraction is subjective. Even if you see yourself as “average,” others may find you attractive. Learning this early helps manage confidence and expectations. 💪 Confidence as a Strategy Acting self-assured, even when you don’t feel it, changes how people treat you. Confidence increases chances despite rejection. ❤️‍🔥 Casual vs. Serious Relationships & Expectations Double standards exist: casual flings vs. committed relationships. Understanding this prevents disappointment and confusion. 🚫 Boundaries and Respect Shocking stories (like sending explicit pics to a parent) underline the need for personal boundaries and self-respect. 👶 Social Responsibility & Selfish Acts Example: a mom struggling with a stroller while people just record. Raises questions about empathy, help, and performative morality. 👀 Identity, Self-Confidence, and Self-Worth Knowing your value in a world of opinions and comparisons helps you resist negativity and maintain dignity. 🤝 Choosing Friends & Associations The people you associate with influence your mindset, safety, and future. Toxic friends can derail your growth. If this resonated with you, think about one change you can make in your friendships or how you see yourself. Maybe it's setting firmer boundaries, deleting toxic influences, or simply walking into rooms with more confidence. Also, share your thoughts: what part hit you hardest?
