Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

I think for some people that would stop you in your tracks.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

Like, oh God, yeah, I am.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

What am I thinking?

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

But your mindset is often to go, well, I'm going to prove you wrong.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

Yeah, well, because when we're young, our brains are still developing.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

So, of course, you're so sponge like taking on every bit of criticism and then forming an opinion of who you are as a person, which I think we probably keep on figuring out until the day we die.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

But when you're young, you know, you're so susceptible to that kind of critique.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

And I think.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

You know, you've obviously talked a lot about your dad growing up.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

And when you're a tiny kid, especially sort of zero to seven, where that imprint on a young kid can be lifelong, it is remarkable that you've managed to override that.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

Because I think, again, many people, and I've sat here and interviewed lots of people, or even I can look at my own life or people that I've interviewed in other areas, are completely screwed from...

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

the moment they go out into the big wide world to find out how they fit into it, they're blocked because they've been told you're a piece of shit, you're worthless, you won't amount to anything.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

I think it takes, again, like a whole recipe of strength and courage, resilience and determination to override that sort of childhood.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

And it's familiar.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

I think a lot of that.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

We're like, oh, I know this.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

God, I bet it was.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

I mean, I watched the first two episodes and it is, like many of his shows, raw and gritty.

Happy Place
Alan Cumming: β€œI allow people to be abusive!” How to build self-worth and say no

And you've got so many different emotions wrapped up into the story, love and sorrow.

Happy Place

And you've got your living next door to David Morrissey, who plays, I guess, the other end of the spectrum in terms of worldviews, values, politics.
