The Difference in Friends and Acquaintances | ReWire 1913

Welcome to the rewire podcast. I'm your host Ryan Stumman and I'm here to rewire your mind for success

You were put on this planet for success. You were created to succeed

But the force of average is after you every single day my brothers and sisters and this podcast is the one thing

This design to help you fight the force of average and excel in every area of your life. We're glad that you're here

The other day I saw a meme that unlocked my clothes mine

The meme said something to the tune of people that are on the spectrum and or have ADHD

Have an innate sense of fairness and will over protect and over correct in order to stay on their standards and moral ground

And I'm thinking about that and I'm like, you know

People always joke and say that I'm somewhat on the spectrum. I'm sure I am. I've never been tested or asked

Don't ask don't tell right?

Definitely have ADHD was diagnosed with that was one of the first trial kids in America in the 80s to actually take Ritalin believe it or not

Well, that worked out so well

But anyway, I say that because I'm the type of person that if I'm for you, I'm a hundred percent for you

Meaning your enemies are my enemies

If you're my fucking dog and you don't like somebody. I don't like that motherfucker either

But it's rare that you can find that from somebody

It's rare that you can find somebody that's like hey man

I don't know about everybody else, but I know about you and I'm down for you

What happens is most people try to be people pleasers

They try to be friends with everybody and they say oh, I don't want to make enemies blah blah blah

But you never really create any real loyalty and look I'll be honest

I don't have a whole lot of friends. I got a lot of people

I know a lot of clients a lot of affiliates a lot of acquaintances, but I don't have but a couple of friends

But the friends that I do have they're real and I know that no matter what situation they're in

I'm down for them and whatever situation I'm in they're down for me

But most people go through life trying to make friends with everybody and that's a lost cause because not everybody's friend worthy

You can put a lot of people in the acquaintance category and few people in the friends category and still be successful and have a big network

You can also have common enemies

And the truth is the friend of my enemies my enemy too

But very few people are yoke that way

Most people are people pleasers. They just try and make everybody happy

So we get along with everybody. I don't feel like I'm here to get along with everybody

I don't feel like I was put here to be a people pleaser

I like people

But I like telling them the truth and I like telling them how it is and a lot of people don't like that

Which creates enemies because listen, let me tell you something that you will remember the rest of your life

Nobody and I mean nobody is a bigger victim than somebody who did you wrong and don't want the rest of the world to know what they did

And a real ass motherfucker will know if somebody did you wrong and believe you because they're your friend

And acquaintance will keep the peace with everybody just remember that
