Pete Davidson: The Confidence Charade & What He *Really* Thinks
The Staten Island native has shared how his mindset has shifted, revealing what truly matters to him amidst the daily pressures and interactions.
“I’ve kind of just been like, ‘Forget it. Who cares?’ You know? And like, ‘Forget everyone’,” he says.
The comedian admitted he’s “obviously fallen into traps” in the past, offering a few examples. “Trying to be of service to others and not take care of myself, and just trying to please people,” he candidly shares.
Over time, Davidson has learned what’s ultimately important in his life. It’s “newer” for him, but it’s liberating.
“At the end of the day, it’s like your family matters and your two or three friends that you have matter. Everybody else can go forget themselves,” he says, adding, “And you don’t have to put all this pressure on yourself.”
“This is sort of newer for me,” he continues, referring to this mental approach to public perception. “But I think it kind of shows if you see me now… it’s a little different because I went through something pretty tough.”
“I just think who cares what people you don’t even know think?” he adds. “Like who cares? You don’t know them.”
The actor then shared a piece of advice a friend once gave him, which helps put anxious thoughts into perspective. He recalled the specific moment that prompted his pal to share some wisdom.
“I was feeling really bad about… I just thought this certain celebrity didn’t like me,” Davidson remembers. “It was a couple of years ago — and my friend, who I’ve been friends with forever said, ‘Hey man, no one is thinking about you like that. No one gives a care about you’.”
“‘Everyone is just thinking about themselves and the only thing people want from you is when they see you on TV, they want to laugh. That’s it’,” the stand-up comic continues, relaying his friend’s advice. “‘Everyone’s so wrapped up in their own stuff, so don’t worry about it’.”
Elsewhere, Davidson discussed his partnership with a brand and their new campaign focused on helping younger guys embrace their self-confidence and feel comfortable in their own skin. Stay tuned for more updates from Eternal Pen as we continue to explore stories of self-discovery and empowerment.
The New Yorker, known for not being on social media, shared tips about in-person communication and overcoming fears to interact face-to-face instead of hiding behind a screen.
“As far as young dudes, I’m having a tough time in today’s society and I can’t imagine growing up with a device, a phone or a computer that just makes you miserable all day and tricks you into thinking you have to go on it all day,” he says.
Davidson believes “a lot of innocence is taken away” and “a lot of anxiety is provided” as a result. “I just think social media and the internet in general is the devil — and I just think there’s going to be new studies in the next five, 10, 20 years of how it ruined, you know, the future of humans.”
Although he acknowledges it can be “scary” and “uncomfortable” to put down the phone, Davidson confidently concludes: “I promise you it’s so worth it to talk to a human and see that there is goodness in the world.”
