Unscripted w Robert: “What’s something that is often misunderstood about you?”

Unscripted, Conversations with Diana Rau

I loved this convo with Robert! We talk about: “How did you get to self acceptance and who was the person you needed to accept?” “What’s something that is often misunderstood about you?” “What does living a significant, meaningful life mean to you?” One of my favorite things about Robert is how he’s taken what many people misinterpret about him (deep introspection that is misinterpreted as aloof, not engaged) and embraced it as part of who he is. Some beautiful words from Robert: "I really struggled with being misinterpreted. There wasn’t a reference for how to deal with that. We live in an extraverted world, it was hard for me, I felt like I didn’t know where I fit. I needed to accept me as a person who is deeply meaningful, who likes deep conversations...Who isn’t as outgoing as other people. When I step in the room, I’m not going to be the center of attention, and I might just got off into a wall and go observe. What’s wrong with me? I had to reject the external view. I’m ENOUGH.” Other profound stuff Robert shared during this convo: “We have to ask WHO ARE YOU? We shouldn’t have to hit rock bottom or go through trauma to find ourselves.” "I think we’re running around in life feeling kind of empty because we have these pieces that are lost and floating around.” "Do something just for YOU. You don’t have to share everything with the world. You enjoy for the simple pleasure of being just by yourself."
