I'm starting to think the best thing about People Watching is how I always feel like I'm the only one who gets hit so hard by these episodes and the emotions behind them and then I read the comments and there are people with the same fears and insecurities and struggles who identify deeply with this series and it reminds me I'm not alone.
I feel the exact same way....
Takes you back to that non-religious confessional, huh?
Same bro
Same. I also how it validates what we're feeling and never seems to be talking down to us or invalidating our experience.
Star Gourd nope! Not alone,your clear! I’m with you,if I knew you we would turn a new leaf together!
"I'm not depressed, I just really don't like myself"
That hits hard
Ann Sm That sentence is so true that it makes we wanna puke.
Not being able to cair enough to change it IS DEPRESSION . Someday I'll find myself
Depression is one hell of a beast. After 20 years with it you'll think "ok, I am so much better now, I have gained enough experience, I know her every move. I'll get out of here without even putting effort" and then realize that you're still very low, at least 1 step lower than everyone else, and you didn't know her well at all.
Zuzia_Krysia_Łucja its usually the foundation of major depressive disorder to have a poor self image, apathy about life, and not care if you live or die because you feel empty.
@@flyingfoxes2630 I don't think defining depression formally is helpful. It's not this one specofic thing, and I do think you can be less or more depressed.
It really hit different, when you realized that not everyone completed it. And not just bc they forgot.
I wish everyone who connected with this series could all get together and have a drink and be friends and share the heavy weight of existence together
I don't drink
I wish that too
Well, we have social media lol. Group calls work. Whats your Facebook I will add you
Anyone near Houston?
@@THEM0J0MAN Me either ha
I really appreciate that this series actually address those who did not survive their 20s. I keep coming back because the writing on this series is so good. I always find new things. Wish they did a new season.
Good news is last week they announced that there will be a season 3
I related to him as well the most 😭 god damn bruh
I’m glad someone else feels similarly. Nice to know you’re not alone,
This show means a lot to me.
Me too
1:55 "I feel like there's this wall between me and other people and I try to make them like me; I say funny shit and they all laugh but it never really feels like there's anything coming back the other way."
Hits way too hard. Can't believe they just summed how how I feel so perfectly.
"I wasn't sexually assaulted, it was just a weird situation."
I hope to see her more. I've seen hints but there more there
The saddest part of this episode is how you see that Martin is doing well on 25, but knowing the fact he isn't going to make it through the full ten years.
That’s just how it goes, sometimes.
Ey... I'm tempted to make personal yearly vlogs now.
do it. whats stopping you?
make them monthly
Right?!
I want a webpage to do this.
So am i; I want to do this now.
To all the people who continue to come back to this series because its all they have...I'll see you next year
It's a year later, I've come back too.
You good?
I've come back too
Here too
Here, nice to meet you
I actually cried reading this comment, I’m here too
My 20s were rough af. Crippling anxiety in the beginning, then my mother killed herself, then my dad an I were foreclosed on out of my childhood home a couple of years after I graduated college... We lived in hotels for a long time, and then my dad died. No siblings or anything. My one aunt who really cares about me... We don't have much in common, and she can be kind of clingy, so, even though I make an effort, I usually don't enjoy being around her much (as callous as that might sound, it's just the truth). I've been waiting tables for the past 5 years while I tried to figure out what to do with my life, and... I do have people who care about me where I work, I feel better about that now. But I've never been in a relationship for... various reasons having to do with a bad combination of circumstance and personality; it's something I really want, but, at 30, I'm starting to despair of ever finding it. I want to move on with my life. I got accepted into grad school, but I have to wait a year for financial reasons. I will say, though, that, even though I disappoint myself, I really love myself, so that's something, at least.
I hope you're doing okay today, at least :)
Drakilicious, just because other people have it worse than other people, doesn’t mean said people are whiny or not allowed to be upset about where they are in life, as it does sound a bit unreasonable
Life *is* a bitch, but being a bitch to other people? Ah, not my cup of tea. I hope you find what you’re looking for in life soon, or at the very least someday. Don’t give up hope
Hakajin, that’s wonderful :) I’m glad that you’re in a better place
Aw, thanks, guys!
Drakilicious That's terrible; I'm sorry it happened to you. If I were you, I'd be dealing with a lot of anger and PTSD. I don't think I'd know what to do with myself. I think you must be a very strong person, live with that every day. Of course we have to make the best of what we've got, but I don't think that means we're wrong if we hurt over it sometimes. It's the same for you. You know... what tends to help me is to try to make something good come out of whatever happened, because then it wasn't meaningless. I wonder if there's anyway you could get involved in activism, or... just spreading the word about what happened to you. Maybe that's not right for you, but... That's just what works for me. Watched one of your vids, seems like you're in school now? So at least you're working toward something! In any case, I hope you're able to find something in your life that gives you some semblance of joy, or at least peace.
@Drakilicious thanks dude. Your right. No one is allowed to be sad or express their hardships unless what they went through was equal to or worse then what you described. Thanks for taking gatekeeping to a whole new level. Just what the world needed. Maybe they should make a People Watching episode just about you and in the end they could let everyone know you are the new standard.
This series answers a lot of questions I can't even formulate, I don't know how they manage to target my fears and emotions but they do it in an awesome way
By being there before, too.
I have actually cried at the last 2 episodes.
it's part of the reason why i like this series a lot. it is able to target our fears and emotions because these characters really are whom we perceive ourselves to be. we can literally replace any one character with ourselves and the story would still proceed as it did.
It makes you feel good to see just how common the common experience is right?
Aspiring i have cried at the last 4 episodes but yeah this series is intensense (im not trying to compete im saying i relate)
I’m 22 and hopelessly lost, I really needed to see this.
Don't worry. You'll continue to be lost, but get used to it. It's hard not to be lost when you're treading your own path.
ur hot
Im 21, and I feel ugly and worthless and watching this show makes me think for just a second that life might be better than what I'm going through.
@@SoraldCp What does that have to do with her feelings.
@@SoraldCp She said she feels lost not ugly, get over yourself.
i remember watching this as soon as it came out with me being 18 and thinking, "pfft, knowing this, my 20s will be a breeze", but everytime i revisit this video a different lesson clicks, and it helps me get through it all. I'll never have enough words to thank this series and what a comfort it is every time.
Martin story is so relatable. I cried over everything he said and when he brother commented on about his brother saying "I watched a lot of videos...." I had a lot of chills. I do hope they will somehow make a season 3 one day without cracked.
Is the feeling like you'll be dead by 30 pretty common?!
Not so much dead, but good as dead. What people are actually expressing is that they don't feel welcomed by society. But to speak sarcastically, what can you expect from a bunch of millenials or whoever the new kids are?
sirdeadlock Precisely, the society we grow up in first sees us as the potential that is needed to keep the world spinning, but then at some point, they feel like they wasted all their hope and energy on this potential and we're no better than the shit used to fertilize farm soil. but it's precisely during this progression between 20 and 30 that i think we truly find our own self-worth and are able to become someone whom we can be proud of. in the case of martin, however, he represents the group of people who seem like they couldn't get to that conclusion and either relapse into something worse than they were before or (as implicated in s2e2) commit suicide and i think that this video is more for those people who just feel really stuck and can't see anything in the pitch black depths they are in currently.
No.
People in their 20s are still supposed to feel invincible, like they'll never get old or die.
There's a reason that the cut off age for enlistment in the military is 29.
My guess is that thinking about death is more common for Millennials, because most of that generation was raised in ways that ensures that they will be mentally ill adults.
Ah, for me it is, and for my friends. Like I just? “Accepted” the “fact” that I was going to die before 30, but I think the depression that made me think that, and when I came to that conclusion that was in a time I denied that I had depression too.
And it *does* seem like mental illnesses are more common in millennials and the z generation, or at the very least these are the generations that are the most educated about mental illnesses to the point that they are able to identify it within themselves and whether they have one or not
Patty, it isn't normal if normal is sanity.
Millennials were intentionally raised to be mentally ill. This is not psychologically healthy. You're not supposed to raise kids to believe that they're perfect and don't need to spend their lives trying to better themselves and build character, skills, abilities, etc. and to contribute to things bigger than themselves.
The feeling about dying before 30 is likely related to the fact that most Millennials think that they will have to be an adult at 30, and they weren't raised to be adults.
You know what is awesome
They don't put Martin's suicide on the nose and when you figure it out it feels like someone is ripping your guts out
Ajinkya Patil he killed himself??
90semotionalangel yes
Wait what? Where does it mention that?
@@void-xt8pw wasn't he a ghost in a previous episode?
Watch season 2 episode 3 'Hanging out with my brother'
Okay great now my eyes are leaking
I swear I've seen you commenting on a bunch of other vids that I like that aren't even from cracked 😂 guess you got a new sub 😅
I'm sobbing
I just noticed the character at 3:38 is missing a finger. She's 23 there and at 22 she wasn't. I wonder if she had just moved away and separated from her husband at 23. Remember what she said in Women Men Don't See??
Leaving an abusive relationship is incredibly dangerous.
Her husband cut it off because she ordered the wrong type of pizza
@@IzzyTheWolf0419 Season 2, ep 7.
It was there at 11:11 though 🤔
@@StephJ0seph it might be how front phone cameras don't flip the image
"Im not homeless....I'm couchsurfing"
Relate so hard.
There isn't enough stuff like this on the internet. I can't express that enough. Keep giving hope to those who have lost it, because it can get better if you "just keep walking"
Ryan Lucio , Daria mtv
"All I do is bother people and it just feels like nothing is ever gonna change." God that hit me like ton of bricks about how I view life right now. 20s are pretty stupid when ur wondering without a clear understanding, hope I can do good change soon.
I am 22 years old and oh boy I've been dealing with some stuff. Like people say I should be at my peak but I am not.
Tony Nola anyone who tells you you should be at your peak at 22 is an idiot.
I came back to this video because of that line in this episode. It’s how I feel right now and it hurts. But I love that the ultimate takeaway from this video is that things do change. Everything is temporary. All hurt is temporary and things will be better
This is probably one of the most single impactful episodes of this series to me. I’m currently 21 and I’m finding that I’m going through a lot of jadedness and dissolution with just about every aspect of my life. I like how I can relate with the characters of People Watching in their 20’s and it gives me a little hope for when I reach 30. As cringy as it sounds, this episode inspired me to start a personal video archive as well so hopefully it can give 30 year old me some perspective.
How goes it
I'm literally crying in my office right now. This is such a good series, but this episode specifically hits close to home. I'll be 30 in another year, and I have had all those moments, but the world changes and you change to. Even in the darkness, I know I'm my own light, now. I hope others can find that, too.
Ellieescent yup. I think when we’re in our 20s were in a road of confusion. But with time and experiences we get better tackling life. I’m in my 30s now and now I’m realizing what I want in life and what I have to do.
Good to know that it gets better :)
Calm down
Luckily, you’re Thicc and White Mediocre Attractiveness. So things will eventually work out
I never cry - the last three episodes made me tear up - but this episode made tears come from places I didn't even know I had... I am 51 - so don't think that this episode will only mean something to you in your twenties and thirties - it is too genius to be limited like that - I can almost bet that the older you are when you are introduced to this - the harder it hits - I don't remember the fears that I had in my 20's - not really my 30's either - my 40's had some bleak times but that big 50 brought some unbelievable blessings to my life that I cannot explain - it was like a weight was lifted from my life - I still have fears, and doubts and worries but I don't let them take the same control they used to - I don't give as much of a fuck what people think about me - but at the same time I am not a pretentious prick about it - I just take their whatever they have to say, nod and move past it without an argument realizing that they have no clue - it's like I am better at dealing with shit simply because I have dealt with shit so many times - and well... I am still here ya know? We all fear getting old - let this 50 year old tell you - come back and watch this video again when you hit 50, then 60... 70... 80.... I bet it rocks you every time in a different way... fucking genius...I mean probably the most ingenious thing I have ever personally experienced in my life - thank you for this series - it's killing me but I love it
I am 25 and the people in this show are all me.
i wish everyone in their 20's the best.
I'm actually turning 20 this month... I already dropped out of college because my scholarships fell through and I didn't want to take out loans (at least until I knew what I actually wanted to do). But, yea, I feel pretty fucked lol
Thank you so much I mean that sincerely.
I'll be 28 in march, and so far my 20s have been and still are ... a journey LOL :)
I've dropped out of 2 colleges
1st one was my mother's choise and I am not the type to become a dentist
2nd one did not provide the level of education I wanted to get (we are talking robotics classes without a single robot and textbooks written in the 80s) and going there was a mistake to some degree(my favorite mistake, since I've made it all by myself( for the first time in my life))
Right now I am working as a freelance programmer(no thanks to colledge №2 btw, I taught myself) and preparing myself to attempt colledge yet again(I still want more knowledge to build cool robots and maybe even some gadgets and stuff, for now I have my programming knowledge to pay my bills and my small workshop to make at least some of my engineering ideas happen)
I am still a bit burdened( not depressed since recently :) ) about my income being nowhere near my father's when he was my age
Don't get me started on his later acomplishments, that man is metal, if only it didn't take me 10 years after school to force to teach me at leas some of his business skills, but recently it became a fun fact for me LOL))
I have a feeling that there IS something there for me, that all dedication and hard work will pay off, who knows maybe I am not a failure
@Tamara Orozco " don”t know how to apply for a job/resume.im "
Don't worry it is not as hard as it looks like, I've managed to do it without a degree , ok for some jobs degree is a must, but you've got that covered, so the only few things you need to get done are :
1. get as much info on how to properly apply to a job in your field and ge interview right in order to maximize chances of success( took me a month to complete this before I got my first job, we are talking hours of googling and asking people for advice)
2. get as much info as you can on creating a good resume
3. if needed/possible for your profession work on your portfolio
ok there are a lot(and I mean a lot!) of details for all of theese things, but going over all of them can take hours(getting a job is a skill too ) LOL
@@vladimirradovanovich8269 keep going. As long as you keep moving forward to achieve your goals you will be okay.
Sometimes I also find it hard not to compare myself to my parents when they were my age, but I have to remember I am different. Doing that will only make me sad.
I am a late bloomer in many areas so many are ahead of me😔
For that reason I stay away from social media and focus on myself.
So we're just all ignoring the fact that Martin killed himself??
@biopenta his brother was the one who took over his videos
WAIT... wait... w.a.i.t... really, I can't ignore that.
I'm 27.. going on 28. And most days I feel like Martin. And I'm really scared that I AM Martin. That's the only thing that bothers me in this video.. the ending is great at helping us understand that these years are SUPPOSED to be tough... But Martin didn't even survive his 20s.
Hey Mikey, you good bro? How ya doin'? Mind to leave some reply? :)
Did you ate well? Get enough sleep? How's life? I really hope you're doin good.
I wanted to come check in too since it had been a long time since this comment was posted. Im glad somebody already did :) I hope you're both doing okay
I really don't know if i'm going to survive this month. Everyday I hate myself along with hating my friends. I know I'm only 17 but the fucking one thing I love about myself is the fact I'm going to help others through my death. They can't pretend to be intrested in me if I'm not here. Maybe it's that Iook on the bright side. I don't want to hurt myself but I do want to stop being a pain to others.
@@caxolog Hey, I hope you're ok. I've been seeing your comments all over this comment section. I know it's hard, but pls get help. There r suicide hotlines in almost every country if u don't know whom to talk to. Even if it doesn't seem like that, there r always ppl that love you. And every life is worth saving. Wherever you are, I hope you're better now, than you were then. And if u're not, the first step is always the hardest, but it gets easier with time.
Sending all the best
Just checking and wishing you the best. I know that we are strangers, but keep in mind that you and your life matter. Hope you can get help and that one day you can comment on this video how you managed to grow out of the situation the same way other characters like flossy or safra did.
Did the guy's brother commit suicide? Because I can really see the progression he was taking. If so, I love how they include a depressed person who finds help to show that it gets better.
Aiden Sherman I think so. It really broke my heart-the episode when they introduce the brother already wrecked me. This compounded on that.
That's my thinking, too. And I love how WR is integrating him into the rest of the series, not just leaving him as a memory for Jackson.
Didn't he say he'd be dead in 10 year when he started? Probably an illness...
Hopefully. One less hipster.
Maybe it's supposed to show you can only experience it gets better if you stick around long enough?
I like how the website and the people were both "under construction" every year [: You do such a good job with this series, thank you. Even if it can't happen right away for financial or idea reasons, I think it'd be awesome if you could keep making videos past seasons 2 on whatever platform!
This could be a legitimate website? If it doesn't exist i hope someone could make this.
@@larctinmartsoyad3167 Somebody could create a youtube channel where they do this, people can email your video to the channel owner, they will upload it on one so all these videos are together on one channel, and mail you 365 days later to make another one.
Could also put all videos from one person in a playlist so people can watch how someones year was back to back.
I'm 24 and I didn't even know how badly I needed to see this until I saw it. Thanks for making me feel young and full of potential again instead of my usual feeling of being too old, as if I've already wasted all my time.
You're doin good! :')
wonder how you are doing now?
The show makes you feel like everybody's depressed but then somehow it ends in an inspirational tone.
10:37 YES, YES, YES, OH MY GOD SHE SAID IT. God, I hate the phrase “It gets better” so much, because it gives way to the idea that things will just magically not be terrible, or slowly become not terrible like so sort of automated machine, but there isn’t any guarantee that anything will get better if you just leave it to the future to fix your problems. “You can get better”, I like that so much more, because if you have the potential to mature and grow as a person, _you_ can make things better, you don’t have to leave how good your life is to an unpredictable future, you can make the effort to make life better, and it might pay off, and it probably won’t be easy, and you might not get everything right all the time, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I like especially that it’s the presumably lesbian woman who’s saying it, because it seems to me that the LGBT+ community is where “It gets better” is most prevalent, it gives me the impression the writer(s) really knew what they were doing.
EVERYONE needs to hear this. There are so many people feeling alone and hopeless. I wish they would continued the videos until they were 60. Everyone is just trying to figure this "life" thing out
Wow this was something EVERYONE needed to hear
Golden Life o
IT's OK - they got the point across - I am 51 and it all makes sense - they got us at every age I am telling you - trust they ended it just right
Golden Life
I relate more to the guy who killed himself than anyone else I've ever seen, and that terrifies me a little bit.
Me too from the first word he said until his last
Maybe get some help! Hugs
Same here......
Same... i even wonder if he got transported to different world or some alien took him, but highly unlikely lol
I can't kill myself, everytime I think about it the fear of everyone having to deal with that. Then I go out and everything I do causes someone else pain or annoyance. Then I realize that no one cares about me so what's the point n living?... I'm 17 (recently) and now I am too scared too fucking die and even more scared to express me.
I'm 19 turning 20 and I keep coming back to watch this video because I really need to hear this. Also because no one really let's you in on the good advice. The good advice that doesn't come with pressure or anything like that
People are hating on this channel a lot and i honestly don’t understand it. I get so excited to see a new update because this series steers me in the right direction. Being 20 years old and feeling like there’s no way up and out of this fuster-cluck we call life is so draining. This episode here was exactly what i needed. A reason to keep going. And a reason to stick it out because it actually gets better...i’m just young
This show is truly a gift.
People are hating on this channel for reasons not related to this show. Cracked is just fulfilling their contract and getting this show out as fast as possible, and then it's back to radio silence because the new owners gutted the video department, fired every single writer and actor that everyone loved, and stopped producing videos altogether. People Watching is written and produced by other people who had a 2 season contract before all that happened, and thus is only tangentially related to Cracked at all, and has nothing to do with the hate.
@@SapphireDragon357 :(
haaahah you're only 20, get ready for life. shit's a BLAST, except when it's not. lol.
are you in school or have you started working yet?
Phobe Laxu man EXACTLY!! only 20 and life has already knocked me out! i’m out of school and working and it seems like i’m already running out of time
You're killin' me, Winston.😢
I had ALL those same anxieties in my 20s... I still have them in my late-30s
Looks like by 30yrs. Ppl are war-torn soldiers in the battle of life. Just as confused but now more jaded and scarred.😞
Just wait until 50 is staring you down.... I don't think we ever figure this life stuff out, just when you think you got it, it throws another curve ball.
Hang in there, fella, we're with you😀
Four years on, getting later on in my twenties, and I just.. I just wanted to say thank you for this. It meant a lot when I watched it before and it means a lot now.
The thing i appreciate the most about this series is that every time I watch an episode I discover a new message. it's similar to the episode where Jaxon talks to his brother and says that every year he watches Star Wars (which he mentioned hating, all the way back in episode 2), it's like watching with fresh eyes, because he's never watched it at his current age. Every time I rewatch, I'm older and have new experiences that I can use to relate to the content in newer and hopefully more sufisticated way.
Waching at 24, I'd never imagine relating to the Jaxon's brother so heavily at 28.
I love this type of content creation that explores the human experience and allows you to reflect on your own life. Its vital for personal growth.
Ive been watching this series since the very beginning and have almost emotionally broke down towards the end of each one they all hit hard
I don’t get why people complain so much- as if we’re entitled to anything. Let it go. Y’all forget that this is FREE CONTENT. Cracked doesn’t owe us shit. Though I wish they didn’t cut some of their stuff, I’m still appreciative of their work and thankful that they decided to go through with releasing the second season of People Watching. This series is truly a gem.
Drakilicious I have ad blocker soooooo lmaooooooo
I agree
But they literally fired the best writers and hosts out of the blue and we don't even get to know why
So I'm pretty sure nobody will read this but I'm just gonna put it out there: I have issues. A lot. But tbh when I compare myself to others who have it worse I just try to convince myself that my life is pretty much perfect. I mean there are aspects by which I can see myself being very lucky at life but just now I've realized that I NEED to work on myself and if you're reading this, you should too. Life isn't gonna get better by chance, you'll have to make it better. So get up, get dressed, go to that party, call your family, talk to people and try, and I mean truly try to enjoy your life because this is your only shot at it.
S. Winter
Yes.
I mean you can have "everything going right" and still be depressed, just like Safra.
This has to be my favourite series and this year, I sat down with my dad and showed him three episodes. He's a baby boomer and comes from a generation where rather than talk about struggles you go watch hockey or smoke hash/tobacco cigarettes or something, you kept it to yourself. So, after the last episode was done, my dad asked me "How do you watch this and not feel depressed?" I said, "It's because I watch this and feel SEEN." Being in your twenties is like screaming into a wind tunnel and then watching this series, suddenly, feels like someone screaming back.
I am 26, that is almost 30, and have done nothing with my life. Now I see this video and I have a little hope now.
28 here. You may say you have done nothing. But I believe you have done something (worthy) that you are not even aware of. Sooner or later, you will figure it out. I hope and wish you success in life. Just start doing something that you may have been avoiding or always wanted to do. All the best.
26 is not almost 30. Think of how long ago it was since you were 22.
That's not almost 30! That's the attitude I had and I wasted 3 years. Every year counts.
I been there. Now in my 30s. It gets better once you hit 30. Looking back during my 20s I felt the same way. No where to go. Useless. Just doing my thing and realize I did I lot.
Where these characters were in their mid twenties, is where I am at 31. So the end of this video stings, because it feels like I should be out of this depressive rut already. But since I'm not, I feel an even bigger distance between me and other people. Like at 31, maybe just being alone is who I am.
Sometimes people take a little longer dude. There's no shame in that. Hang in there. You'll get through this rough phase of your life.
I promise you that isn't true; nobody truly just "is alone" in life.
For some people it takes longer to find your "crew" but if you keep exploring your interests and yourself, you'll find them.
Hang in there, it DOES get better.
Michael Evans ... I feel you dude. 31 here also. Just now seeing the lightbulb go on... trying line made to make up for lost time.
Be a genuinely good person.
Get more competent.
Get out there and meet people.
Good luck bro.
Don't let it get to you, it is not a race. Remember flowers can only bloom when it is their season, this is just a video and can't define your timeline in life. Hang in there baby you'll find it.
Eh, give it an extra 20yrs. If it's still not working out, give it 20 more! If you 71 and still feeling that way....then yeah bro guess your just the grumpy lonely old guy...but take heart in the fact that you will one day go on an adventure with a plucky young boy scout in your floating house supported by balloons....yes....they float.
Please make a season 3 of People Watching!! This is one of the most uplifting and inspiring series out there with such a positive message. I'm turning 23 in a few days and I've felt so alone and misunderstood in my 20s till I discovered this. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way, now I know that I'm not alone.
The idea behind this video was really touching. My own twenties sucked for the first 3 years, but at the age of 26 shit started to get better. And honestly, my favourite thing now is to help others in my friend group. Pass on what i learned and try to help others that I desperately wanted at that age.
I like how Everytime I watched this series it speaks to me I'm 20 now and it's true all I see is failure in my life and yes all I want is a book on life but unfortunately no one has it and I just can't fast forward to a better me but I'm happy because I know one day I'll see how time really change me for the better cause I'll be the real me
Stop lying to yourself. You are the real you. If you want to be like a different person, you need to start acting like that person. But if it's a big change, get ready for problems you didn't know existed. Days go one after the other. 60 is closer than you think.
Im 30 broke, unemployed and living out of state with no transportation no driving license(well not yet)and dependent financially on family who in another state so am alone but............everytime I watch these videos....i feel encourage enough to keep going on somehow.
Damnit cracked got me in my feelings again 😅😭😭😭but thank you for this🙇, one question how do i get help for possible mental illness if you have no money and need to renew your medicaid card.😮????
Nothing sucks more than being unemployed and alone with no help. Cause ufeel like u have no foundation and u just keep getting swept away

I'm not sure how to help you, but I know you can search online for help in mental health issues... I am very sorry that I can't be there for you, but just keep fighting. Even if I don't know you, I'm proud of you for still being here. From one human being to another, you are loved and you are going to get through this. Thank you for not giving up. ❤️
To the creators and everyone who works on this show, thank you. Thank you because this show and the comments left by all of these beautiful people remind me that what I am feeling is valid. That it's not different or 'weird, and stupid,' that I'm not alone. Of course, I am sorry too. I'm sorry that you understand the isolation and the feeling that you're always stuck and going no where. I wish that upon no one, not even my worse enemy. But if anything was to come out of that pain, (and this will sound selfish, so sorry) at least know, it really makes me and I'm sure a few others feel better that we are not alone, and what I saw from this video is that it will get better. Hopefully.
This is powerful and generally relatable not manufactured for views but a true although limited representation of how people feel and that is really cool. props
Thank you to the people who make this show. I wonder if you even know how many lives you touch and guide without ever even meeting us. I'm sure it is the goal of the series in general, but I really doubt you understand just how much you help people. I would put money on this series legitimately saving lives, and not just one or two.
Preach!
♡
I just noticed him and it’s horrifying
Thanks Ben!
Thank you!
I’m not 20 yet but ... I’m feeling a little lost, but man! This is the realest video and I’m in love with this series
Get a head start, make your mission to figure out what you want to be. I'm 26 and still looking. But I was lazy about it.
Hey, it's been 3 years since you wrote this, how have things worked out these last few years?
@@qwerty-zz8er wow I really did not expect to be reminded of this video, thank you for asking!
I am almost 23 now and I commented that when I was 19when I was going through abit of depression for not “reaching my expectations”.
I’ve had to move to a different continent which opened up a lot of opportunities, though that itself was overwhelming,
Though this video helped me steer my energy and emotions away from comparing myself to my classmates,
I took a whole year to adjust (I’m responsible for my siblings as my dad is a single dad, so I had to figure that out) and find out what I’m meant to do trying to get into uni with limited grades. Also the fact I had no clue what my “dream job” was and needed to actually think about what I want to do on this world.
(I decided I wanted to help kids and do psychology)
While I was waiting on uni stuff I got a part-time job that helped me sharpen my general work skills (customer service and getting insight on business procedure), it’s not the best job and doing too many work days drains me, (basically a fast food job) but I’ve made friends with my coworkers and post-covid everyone is just chill vibes.
Covid happened and I put education on hold for the first year, signed up for a college course that would’ve completed my qualifications for Uni, but I stopped attending midway through as I was overwhelmed and went back to my dark place,
My dad and friends helped me push through and tried enrolling into Uni anyway, and got accepted! Though I’m doing foundation that is completely fine! I’m getting my career started!
Midway through my first term I ask my uni to help me get a diagnosis for my ADHD as I was suspecting that for a long time, I’m currently in the process of getting some help with my time management,
I’m grateful I did as I felt frustrated and disappointed in myself for being “Lazy” and missing deadlines,
Honestly it’s so coincidental that u replied this cuz yesterday I was really thinking how “every experience I’ve been through has lead me to this moment and this uni and in 4 years time u are going to be done and have a degree” really having that reflection😅
Life has got ups and downs and a key thing that I took away is I need to put myself out there, nothing is going to happen if I stay in my room and in my circle of people, it’s really hard to ask for help and scary to put yourself out there, but try small things first like an online course or committing to something small to become the person you want to be, like 10 min of meditation or running. What’s important that it’s consistent no matter how small it is. (Though I’ve been trying to do workouts consistently 😅I’m trying not to get down about that Instead thinking about how I go walk to the bus everyday for work and uni counts)
Prayer and constant reflection is what’s helping me move forward, everyone has their own paths and we don’t need to look at anyone else but ourselves really.
Thank you razzle I hope u take something positive away from this, chin up it gets better.
@@francisbonnafoy307 Sounds like the you in the past who left the original comment would be really proud of the person you turned out to be! And rightly so! From feeling lost to now having experience from this part time job, building up a network with those co-workers to getting accepted onto a uni course and taking action to look into ADHD! Sounds like you've really taken ownership of your life and I hope your uni time is amazing, you deserve it!
As someone who went to uni 2 years later than most (at 20) I feel your confusion about taking a different route to your peers, I'm glad that you learned to not compare yourself to your classmates! Like the video said, there's 7 billion different levels of the same game being played, nobody has it the same way!
It sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders and that you'll go far! I wish you the best of luck in your studies and in your career!! :)
@@qwerty-zz8er thanks for taking interest in my story
I wish you well too dude :) you sound like an honest good person and I wish you the best 🙌
You know what I just realized in each persons update? While they talk about how much they question their worth and accomplishments, their backgrounds and living situations are more organized or better for them. The guitar girl was living in a broken down apartment at 21 and at 27 was in a record label office. Sometimes we can’t always recognize our worth and accomplishments…but many others are so proud to see you grow
I love this because even as I’m watching this I’m thinking, they are just saying that there is no way they feel how I feel. And I think that’s the biggest joke of all bc even when we have evidence slapping us in the face that we are not alone in how we feel, you still feel isolated and like no one understands.
I'm not crying nope
Flossy's evolution was really great I love her
She got unbelievably lucky. It happens, but it mostly doesn't.
sirdeadlock or she worked her ass off. Don’t just brush off hard work for “luck”
She's lucky she could work hard
Moving into my 20s this November. I needed this. I just wish it didn't have to be attached to Cracked anymore.
It’s only distributed by Cracked, it’s made by completely different artists and people. I recommend going to their twitter and seeing how you can help the creators of this show directly without Cracked being a wall between you and them.
Shut up
I’m in my 30s now but an advise while in your twenties. Have fun and learn the experiences you will get. As years passes, life will get better even with the ups and down. Once you reach the 30s you will look back be be like. Danm times flies and now I’m much more mature and can tackle life battles with much ease (due to the experiences and mistakes made in the 20s).
Drakilicious did you even watch the video? That wasnt the message at all, kiddo.
You want to be attached to a penis; you are a female.
I think this was one of the first videos I shared on discord. There is a great deal of meaning and value in the message being shared.
We all learn lessons through the tests of time, and often the greatest gift we can provide another is sincere appreciation of the virtues they embody and the communication of how proud we are to know one such as them.
I watched this at 18 now 22 and it's crazy looking back
It's been a year and a half, I still come back to this series to cope with my depression
Don't ever leave or stop. I have no idea but each and everyone of your small stories are what I felt and had no body to turn to but myself during those years.
I almost started to cry everytime his brother was on screen. I'm guessing it was a physical illness or something, but I was afraid this was hinting that he took his own life.
Idk, in any case this was still very inspiring. You need experience to appreciate life, but someone always ends up not having enough time.
😭😭😭😭
It’s canon he did commit suicide
My heart broke at the thought of it. I remember the episode "Hanging out with my Brother" and seeing his brother at the start then him coming in to finish it years later in the same unchanged room rocked me, because he started out saying "I'll be dead in 10 years and no one will ever want to watch videos of me". it crazy just thinking about it.
One word. Brilliant!! I Remember turning 30 and feeling relaxed as ever. The 20s are extremely crazy
the bit where they explain how adulthood was so far away because you never expirienced it and that you will find or make a place for yourself in you own way really got to me.
I'm 20 years old, I am studying my third choice option any don't even know whether I like it or not or whether I want to seriously work in this field or not. I don't know exacly how being in love should feel like despite being in a realtionship with someone and I am judt a lazy mess oflitte bits of personality that kinda fell apart in this 1 1/2 years of corona pandemic.
But I wanna make a place for myself, I want to meet new people and be somewhat good at what I do, whatever that mught turn out to be. And I feel better knowing that at one point I will figure this adult thing out for myself and that there are other people who just like me feel helpless and not adult at all yet.
Accepting that acting like an adult will not really work 100% of the time, but that 60% or something is good enough to function that you don't neccecairy need the other 40%
first time seeing this , really really appreciate what you guys are doing in this series .
I was a loner as well, never did quite fit in . It got a thousand times worse after my first love died ..
I was 16 and a very , very depressed young person.
Not so long ago 'some one' found me , despite the 'great wall of china' i had build up around me , she got to me ..
I am still alone , alone with the person i'm wishing to spend the rest of me life .....
ps- i am 21 now and................................happy
Watching this makes me feel very lucky that I was more self aware about what specifically my problems were rather than just feeling like I sucked. Which I did and do but I have a name for that now and it helps. I think the most comforting thing I feel looking back over the past ten years is that when I was afraid I was stupid I was right. But now I'm less-stupid enough to notice why and I think that'll just keep happening.
I started to do this last year, had the scary misfortune of turning 20, and I just watched the video from last year. It's already so interesting to see how different of a person I am from that one, and how the questions and uncertainties I had have changed since then. I thought somehow a year would start making me an adult, I talked about how it was a beginning and this year feels like a new one as well. Maybe that's all my 20's... feeling like every year is the start of being an adult only to start over the next. Guess I'll see by 30. Cheers to me and 21!
I never comment on videos, but Ive been going through a real rough patch lately, and this really hit close to home for me. Idk if Winston will see this, but if so, thank you for this amazing series!
Hey Eric! I Read your comment. :D Im proud of ya brotha! :')
Three videos are so unbelievably pure and lovely.
Thanks for making me feel a little better about being in my 20s.
i watch this religiously every year when ever i get the dark night of the soul, been struggling with depression all my life this really helped, to everyone making this : thank you !
I SERIOUSLY CAN'T GRASP MY MIND HOW THERE ARE LESS THAN 1 BILLION WATCHES ON THIS VIDEO
I MYSELF WATCHED IT WAY TOO MANY TIMES
Thank you so much for putting in to words and visuals exactly how i felt in my 20's and sadly still do this was amazing and beautiful. Thank you. 😢☺
This hit me so hard and was deeply reassuring. I needed this.
Brb gotta wipe these tears away
Thank you guys for coming back for another season. This channel is amazing. From the very first episode it has been refreshing to listen to perspectives of life that rarely get highlighted in mainstream outlets. This episode in particular hit me hard. So thank you.
wowo watching this back and crying because i know realize how huge it was for the guitarist to look dead into the camera. This whole series has been such a good check in and support system for me as i've been growing through my 20's so thank you for all your work and continued inspiration.
this made me cry i really needed that and wasnt expecting to be touched this way but i was
I am 21, and I feel like those characters at the beginning of the video. No one had prepared me for life, for adulthood. You give me hope it will get better. Thank you, this is what I needed the most right now.
Hey buddy, hang on there will ya? Eat well & get enough sleep ok? :') you've made this far. Really proud of you. You're doing good!
These videos always shock me how spot on relatable it is for me like it's hard getting that in real life but as I watch this the knot in my stomach and the chills from my spine this really grasps how I feel to be alive
I love these videos so much, they always feel so personal to me even though I know there are a lot of people watching them.
Also, the perspective shifts really help to show you how similar we are and how different at the same time, like normally there’s just one person you’re supposed to relate to in a story and they go through really generic problems so everyone can find them relatable. Here there’re more people which means it’s easier to tackle more problems people feel alone in without accidentally making it so some people can’t relate.
Anyways this series is really awesome.
Hi I'm Aaron, and right now I'm 20 years old. Things aren't going how I thought they would, but then again I didn't plan to be this far ahead in life, I just expected everything to be the same and to not have time pass by, but it did and now I'll be 21 in a couple of months. I honestly don't know what I want with myself, except that I love music and I love to draw. So, what am i supposed to do with those? Anyway, this episode has helped me to open up in a lot of ways, and I'm really grateful for that, thanks people at subnormality you guys are really... really something. Anyway, Foustdoodles98 out, peace. ✌
I'm 27 that was pretty accurate
I've come back to this video every year and wow, things really do get better. Living used to be so bad but now things are okay.
I come back to this every time I feel the things Martin felt-it helps
I literally just binged the previous 4 episodes!!! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!! I also commented over there btw, still, you deserve to be called awesome until you hate that word and then start being called something equally great until you hate that word and keep going in that cycle until you don't hate any of the words and just accept the fact that you will always have a place in so many people's lives. At least you do have a place in my life whoever all of you making these videos are :)
Luis Arturo Hernández Ramírez Have you seen season 1?
Growing up, growing old, and maturing. 3 different things that happen at different rates, this episode shows you all
I’m not sure if I was supposed to cry this hard while watching this but I am bawling my eyes out. I think it’s because going through your 20’s is exactly like this and it can make you feel so alone sometimes but seeing that your not so alone and seeing the potential for a different outcome than you’ve imagined for yourself before just really touched me. Thank you for this video. I love it.
25 ,unemployed, totally lost in what I should be doing.
I can relate to a lot of what Martin went through. You look at your peers lives who are the same age as you and they have successful lives or you look at other people through social media. And you compare that to your life and these negative thoughts fill within you that you aren't good enough.
Started this series to get some laughs but it's too real now. The weird part is that the happy endings and realizations are not always comforting but they sure make you think. If the creators are reading this, great job! Congrats to everyone involved in this.
The first time a RUclips video has made me really cry.
For the last ten years my life only feels like it’s spiraling out of control. I’m in too much chronic pain to hold down a job. Too poor to afford college. I feel like I know nothing, only recently it feels like I got my GED even when it was years ago. My dissociation and mental health has only gone more deranged. Incapable of feeling happy, considering suicide again after my recent attempt, crying in public; I’ve even started hearing voices. Everything feels stagnant as life conspires to keep me stuck as a parasite. Cancer is likely going to cut short any sort of improvement made. It’s very likely in the next ten years I will be in a hospital bed as my lungs or colon finally stop working. The only goal I realistically set is transitioning so I won’t die a man. But after all of this, nothing changed. The dysphoria will never go away.
I’ve accepted death, and the fact that I will be a burden for the rest of my short life.
Well fuck. I wish I could help through RUclips comments, but I don't have enough life experience to suggest any meaningful solutions to you. Have you tried seeing a therapist. Some of them are shitty, yeah. But you might find one that's actually helpful.
A LIVING BREATHING DRUG PSA Sometimes I feel like nothing will get better too. I can’t assure you that it will be alright in the end, but there is always a tiny chance.
Sometimes I read Kurt Vonnegut and felt like I have been understood. In that brief moment of reading I feel relieved, released from the mental pain.
What kind of art do you like? And do they make you feel relieved for a moment?
I actually got back from the psych ward recently. All I know is it's selfish to commit suicide so I'll just wait until I can finally die.
90% of people can't afford college. We go into debt for it. It's not worth it just to "get a better job" but it's worth it to learn about the things you love and meet cool people who are doing the same.
IDK what conditions you have but when I got DXed with Crohn's I thought there was no point planning a future. But I'm still here. Antidepressants helped. Family helped. My cats. My hobbies. Orgasms. Not being so hard on myself.
I hope things get easier for you, ma'am!
watching People Watching feels like personal therapy sessions. Its dear to my heart and every episode leaves me wiser and more passionate than before. Please keep on doing this great show!
I love this series. I’m so glad it came back. It helps me think, helps me learn, helps me hope, and got me through the toughest moment in my life. Wish this season goes on longer then 10 episodes, but if it does, it’ll still be the best less then 10 episodes of any season ever made. This makes intelligent design look dumb and I hope both the creator and the viewers reading (pun intended) have a wonderful year, take these lessons to heart, and stay safe, because if this series has taught me anything, it’s empathy. Empathy and that you can get through life, just look at the flip side. I’m 15, and I can, for better or for worse, relate to most of these videos and the people who make them. Don’t know how to really end this, so just live for the people who give life meaning and to annoy the people you hate.
I can't believe I never gave this show a shot when cracked was still going. Thank you for this.
It's comforting, really, if so many people my age are this lost and feel this way about themselves, the way I do about myself, then, maybe I'm not doing as bad? Maybe I shouldn't be feeling as disgusted and disappointed with myself? It's hard to believe I'll ever love myself or feel proud of myself, but hope has gotten me this far, I guess I can hold on to it a little longer.
Gosh these video are what I need!!!
Thank you for saying the words I needed the most
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. . .
I really needed to see this.
This is a good series, but it feels like it needs to be surrounded by what Cracked used to be or on a different channel.
Exactly
Agreed
Yeah, I miss all the other Cracked stuff, but if they never changed I probably be complaining about that sooooooooo..... I'll take what I can get.
Would also abo a channel that only posted this cause I love this content. As I am a secret looser as well
You mean instead of being the only thing they publish anymore? That's precisely what I came here to say.
The best advise i can give that i accidentaly discovered, to avoid feeling miserable, is to stop comparing your life to others specially those around your age.
We all have different personalities, experiences, perspectives and oportunities, we also struggle with different problems so comparing yourself to others, specially if they are succesful, will make you feel worthless even thou you aren't
i come back and re-watch this series so much and its better every time
I keep rewatching these videos as a sort of comfort. There's a lot of nostalgia for me since I think I found them before the 2 season was made. This is one video, that I come back to a lot, since it always gives me hope, that there is indeed a sort of point to what I'm going through. I'm 22 now and I have really seriously considered doing something like this, if not for anyone else, then just so I can look back on it and hopefully know what that feels like.
