winfrey extravaganza. i have to tell you, what usually is a 1 mile walk winfrey extravaganza i have to tell you, what usually is a 1 mile walk turned into a 3 plus mile walk thank you for that all i could think of was, that message, and i don't even remember when you did that one, just seemed to resonate more today. i feel like we need your messages of compassion, vulnerability more today than we ever did before. >> it feels messy. it feels hard right now. i think i'm trying to suck in all of the wisdom and inspiration i can get right now. so if there is something to offer in my work, i'm grateful for that this is a collective vulnerability experience, so i think talking about that in those terms, being honest about what's going on is so important. >> i think it's tough to be

authentic and to be who you are. because people are so judgey, you know what i mean you want to say something, like you want to speak up among friends, in a meeting. sometimes you want to post something on instagram that just seems like it's the right thing, and, yet, people rain down on you. so how do you keep -- like what do you do in that setting? >> you know, this is where beint a researcher totally pays off. because if you look at the research on judgment, what you learn is that we judge in areas where we feel the most vulnerable to shame. and so when people are judging us, that's about their fear and their stuff. i know it's so hard, and sometimes i have to put myself into a trance and do it, but i've gotten to the point in my life where betraying myself to make other people feel comfortable has got too high of a price for me i can't do it anymore. >> wow getting there, it must be something. i went on your instagram page, and i was looking at somings yo

social justice and all these things i did peek at the comments, like some people do and i saw in some cases people raining down on you. i thought to myself, i wonder if brene pays attention or cares. >> it depends on what day you but i think i have never ask me like when i'm in my kind of best self, strength area, i don't when i'm feeling tired and vulnerable and overwhelmed, it can be -- i can be in tears. but i think i have never -- the only regret i've ever had on social media, ever, was not posting something out of fear of what other people thought. you just can't break my heart on social media, but i can break my heart on social media. so i've just got to do my thing and invite other people to do theirs >> brene, i wanted to ask you. i'm just sitting here, and i love you that's not a question. anyway -- >> love you, too. >> just being vulnerable you know what's funny, i try really hard not to read comments and stuff because it does hurt my feelings. i mean, honestly, it does hurt my feelings. >> totally. >> i was wondering, you know, why is it that you could read one mean comment, and it will, like, stick with you and just lodge itself in your gut and hurt you all day, and there could be, like, ten nice things, and at least for me, i mean, it's not like i believe the nice things, but i believe the mean

why is it that you could read one mean comment, and it will, like, stick with you and just lodge itself in your gut and hurt you all day, and there could be, like, ten nice things, and at least for me, i mean, it's not like i believe the nice things, but i believe the mean things. why are we -- i think everybody is a little like that. why are we like that, and how can we not be like that? >> so we're like that because the part of us that wants to protect our heart is -- and this is a dangerous thing about us -- constantly seeking confirmation things why are we -- i think everybody is a little like that. why are we like that, and how can we not be like that? >> so we're like that because the part of us that wants to protect our heart is -- and this is a dangerous thing about us -- constantly seeking confirmation that we're not enough. constantly keep looking for data to confirm that we don't belong. so we're looking, even if you're sitting in a feedback situation with your boss, they're telling you these great things, you don't even hear them because you're just waiting for the strength section, like where we need to get stronger >> yeah. >> we've got to stop walking

because we will always, always find it. through the world looking for confirmation that we don't belong or that we're not enough, because we will always, always find it. and that's something that we can only control internally. we're looking for proof of our biggest fears. >> wow boy, that's profound this book, "the gift of imperfections," it's the tenth anniversary, it's got great guide posts that will take you along the way. i liked one of them. a lot of them, but one talked about being a perfectionist. you say, "cultivating self-perfection, letting go of perfectionism. where there is perfectionism, there is shame we try to be so good, and when we don't reach that, we feel not great. how do we clear that hurdle? >> yeah. i mean, i think that was probably one of the biggest learnings from the "gifts of imperfection," from the first time i wrote it and i just read it for the audio when i read that part, it was, like, eh i still struggle with it there is a difference between striving for excellence and

perfectionism. striving for excellence is i want to be my best it is internally focused perfectionism is what will people think perfectionism is absolutely driven by the fear of shame, blame, criticism, and ridicule and so shame is -- perfectionism becomes the 20/10 shield if i'm perfect, i can minimize or reduce feelings of shame and judgment and criticism really, what that shield does, of perfectionism, it keeps us from being seen. and being seen and loved and known is the only reason we're sisters. >> we feel you. >> yeah. >> brene, don't you w all here so perfectionism is dangerous, and i speak from experience, sisters. >> we feel you >> yeah. >> brene, don't you wish we could keep talking >> yeah. want to come over? >> yeah, come over.

>> brene, want to have a rose? >> brene, again, thank you so much the tenth anniversary edition of "the gifts of imperfection" available now. the audio version, as well thank you, brene >> thank you >> thank you, y'all.
