This is an excerpt from a spoken YouTube monologue (Joe Polish) advising listeners to suspend self-judgment and accept emotional complexity. The speaker urges self-validation ("give a little bit" of validation to yourself), argues that judgment blocks clarity and breakthroughs, and recommends replacing judgment with acceptance when emotions conflict.

So when I say Laura, you shouldn't feel like you have dirty DNA. You've got a pretty good life. What am I doing? I'm invalidating myself? We're after the opposite here. When you use language like that, you're saying what your invalidators would say to you. And for the love of God, in a world where we seek validation so fucking badly, can we not take the low hanging fruit of giving a little bit of it to ourselves? Plus, guess what? It's impossible for you to have clarity on what you really want while you're in judgment of it. It's impossible for you to have breakthroughs when you're in judgment of your situations. Come on. Go figure. So we will suspend judgment and in its place, accept complexity, especially when you have emotions that seem to be contradicting one another.
