I am the same. I can totally relate to Louie. I call myself a confident introvert. Smart, reflective and not lacking self- confidence, yet prefer my own company the majority of the time. I have interests which are diverse and I enjoy learning about things in a depth which is not typical. I have great memory and become a mini expert in a short time. I can make friends fine, but I find the effort required to maintain friendships too time consuming. I prefer spending time doing "my interests". As I get older I am fine with it.

Louis is so fascinating. He's so astutely aware and attentive to fulfilling his role on your podcast that he basically asked and answered all the questions himself.

He is the most unlikely version of a social butterfly, so profoundly brilliant at reading the situation and navigating the interaction

Age might also contribute to our threshold of pleasure. I'm 80 and quite happy with my own company.

Had an Uncle like that in Calverley, Leeds. He was utterly mute and uninterested at home, within his family, very difficult and ultimately very very floored.

Odd wasn't the half of it.

I am the other way. I have spent years being able to discern the difference between love and neediness, and found that most people are terrified of unconditional love. Most people find my capacity for multi-dimensional intimacy to be too intense. Including with friendships. I hope to find someone equally intense one day, who is happy to have my loyalty and commitment for more than a relatively brief time. Fortunately the measure of a person's worth isn't if they happen to find a match in friendship or romance! If we are authentic and pursue what is important to us, we may find someone who vibes with us, and vice versa. Or not. Being single is fine, too! 😊

@ggrace1133 Год назад

My husband has a very strong work ethic combined with a strong sense of doing his best at everything he does. So he won tons of awards in his career and made good money. He was a fantastic provider for our family. But this precluded being good at marriage and family life. Sadly, the kids feel distant from him still, as do I. I love and admire him as a person, but being in love died in the early years, swallowed up in loneliness and being absent even when he was present. He knows how to work and achieve. But he knows very, very little about how to love and nurture. And he doesn’t care that he doesn’t. Having a family was just a box to check off as achieved. Interestingly, he’s the kind of grandfather the kids wished they’d had for a dad. Hyper-driven men are a species unto themselves…movers and shakers for the good of society. But abysmal failures at marriage and family.

@TheDiaryOfACEO Год назад

Thanks Jessica, I've heard this a lot from our audience - my objective is never to find the people that are most famous - we turn down people that are famous but don't meet our criteria every day. I'm looking for people who have: A deep expertise on a topic that I personally care about, can speak well / in an engaging way, have a great unique story. If you look at my guest selection, they generally fit into one of these groups. Maybe they're an author or an expert on a topic, or maybe they've reached the very top of the game in Comedy... Sport... Business.. (which I consider a great story) or in the case of Raphael Rowe it's just a great story. As a consequence of their deep expertise or great unique story... they're often quite famous too. If I'm totally honest... the guests are a reflection of things I care about, topics I care about, what I'm going through in my life, and who's inspired me over the last 20 years. Sometimes, in the case of Africa Brooke who was not a famous name or someone with millions of followers, I just found her on Instagram and thought she was special so I personally DM'd her and asked her to come on. Same for Paul Brunson and Dr Aria, these were just people I came across in real life and thought were fantastic.

I remember watching Louis Theroux’s doc on one of the most notorious prisons in America. He asked one of the guards how often the prisoners who leave end up coming back, and they said quite a high %, maybe 20%, and said to Theroux that “humans are creatures of habit” and at that moment, I learned that something like a sorry is not enough, it really is changed behaviour that is the real sorry, because we are creatures of habit. I applied this information to myself, to see what habits/ behaviours I might repeat in the future that I wanted to change.

God I relate to Louis so much. For me it's anxiety though. If I had to give a public speech I'd be shitting myself. I just don't feel like life is geared up for happiness. I know what I'd need to do to be happy, but I'm not sure if it's wise. I feel like I'd get there and figure out pretty quickly that I'm lonely as a result of chasing my own desires. So then if you don't chase your desires, you're never quite happy, but you can feel comfortable. I'm not sure what's a concrete state of life either, everything's changing all the time.

You're a great host Steven, you create a relaxed environement and allow guests to speak freely. Really enjoyed this.

@rvt2239 Год назад

Just found your channel and I really appreciate how you let Louis talk and don't feel the need to interject at every turn like many hosts do. Great stuff!

@lazatron2547 7 месяцев назад

How can you not be enamoured by Louis Theroux? He is an outstading, humble, self depricating human whom I could listen to for days on end. It felt as though Steven asked no more than six actual questions durig almost two hours. No wonder people feel so comfortable around Louis.

Louis is a neuro divergent legend. Be more like Louis. Great episode! Thank you all xxxx

@Anna-ii5om Год назад

Neurodiversity kept jumping out to me while I listened as well! I'm an autistic/ADHD hybrid and I felt that a lot of what came up in the conversation could fall within that framework for Louis. He would be described as "high masking" with an intense interest in "learning people" which is very common in Neurotypical-passing people who have late diagnoses, often women. He also seems to me like a person who does experience chronic anxiety alongside stressful moments. I've also never had a panic attack but do still have a Generalised Anxiety Disorder diagnosis. Panic Disorder is the only diagnosis I know of that needs panic attacks as a core symptom. GAD and PD seem to get mixed together - they do fall under the same umbrella but have big differences. Really enjoyed the interview! Both people seem especially respectful and self-aware.

Great interview. Couldn't stop giggling. Louis is so (unintentionally sometimes perhaps?) funny and has such an agile mind. Intelligent, witty, a great story teller, unassumingly confident. He draws you in. Love it thank you!

@deanyvoys2181 Год назад

Really enjoyed this. As a man who has been very skilled at keeping the focus on his interviewees I'd expected Louis to not give away much, like that was a thing of his. He is very open and candid here which wasn't what I expected. Interesting to get to know Louis better, he's certainly an interesting character and a funny, humble man.

@rahuldahoob4513 Год назад

@loisbolton1800 Год назад

Really loved this interview- I have been watching Louis’ latest series & it is excellent. This interview provides a unique context for that series - he is an engaging & kind of fascinating person. Looks like it was fairly easy for you also! It’s not like you had to drag words out of him 😉

@valerieothenin-girard9226 Год назад

I’m only half way through this interview and was inspired to comment. I appreciate Louis’ sense of humour and his openness to admit the good and the bad, intentional or not. I also appreciate his desire to be accurate which reflects HONESTY. He delves deeply and objectively in order to understand and to explain who he is, warts and all which is good for those of us who don’t see it as waffling. Steven is a good listener, sharer and interviewer. If I were 47 years younger, I would appreciate him as a partner.

@danikettunen3796 Год назад

40:43 the phrase he’s looking for is “Chasing the Dopamine”. Every time someone says “good job” that is a dopamine hit. I find often times with my Aspergers/ADHD combination I have to be very careful not to chase dopamine in negative ways, and positive dopamine hits can also be dangerously addictive. Our brains don’t work like neurotypical people. I also like the way he says “what makes me great at work makes me bad at life”. That hits deep and it is so true.

Really enjoyed that and I very touched in certain points. Your emotional journey has mirrored those of many others, including mine. So glad you have experienced the creative channelling as something ‘otherly’ as that saved me emailing you to point it out. In fact the only way I can keep my spirits up as we approach the next phase is to be creative! Julia is the perfect companion for you right now and being around her children will be helping too. You are a good man, never forget that!

@amy5133 Год назад

@janillingsworth7478 8 месяцев назад

I love Louis for his vulnerability and authenticity. Just little things are a giveaway to his sensitivity and lack of putting on the style. I liked you both together as you both expressed a certain fragility and not knowing of how to "do life". I came away feeling blessed that there are men like you, like my sons in this world.
