Regular Guy Friday Ep. 81: The Drastic Effects of Being Undervalued
The problem with holidays like Halloween and Valentine's Day. The problem with not recognizing value in others and not recognizing value in self. The problem with high IQ's and how they can betray you. The problem with being labelled a genius. The problem - and far deeper consequences - of family and friends not seeing you and undermining your worth. The problem with being born with gifts. The problem with spreading your gifts too thin. The problem with age and the reduction of your popularity hormones. No problem with @thekelseymeyer and @thepoojanayyar being on vaca next week and no problem with the clique's no social media on vaca plan. RGF Bonus: Another live @undergaro #catfish fail.
