This started as generic don't-worry reassurance but then, “If the thought of not finding your calling until you're older feels too depressing, that's okay too. Be depressed. Cry about it.” WOW. That's the real holy-s*** moment that woke me up and will stay with me. Excellent video overall, thanks for making it.
@@EphixAuthor I like how "cry about it" isn't even a taunt. I'm used to it being that, but in this case it's kind of a permission not to suppress your feelings.
Take it from being a Navy Veteran of 7 years with PTSD. Crying is normal. Not crying literally only hurts you emotionally over a long period. Crying is a way for the body to release chemicals which actually end up soothing you, like how you genuinely feel better after crying. If you’ve been taught not to cry, over a long enough period it can feel impossible to cry. I used to work with patients in mental health as a Behavioral Technician. Not crying often leads to stunted emotional growth, your brain is like a computer made of flesh that has the unique ability to adapt and evolve in terms of what you feel, learn and so on. I had learned to survive without crying and I gotta say, it sucked. It really felt like something was always gnawing at me in the dark that I just couldn’t express. Crying is a reaction from the brain and it has a genuine purpose.
A lot of people don't say that it's okay to do such things as feel depressed, or cry. It's so stigmatised especially as a man that you are isolated and feel defeated by society. So much pressure that you can feel as a failure when you're not. Thank you
My pleasure. I did feel as though the mindset of just accepting yourself as you are is kind of missing these days; glad it resonated. Thank you for watching.
I'm 30, no friends, unemployed, unmarrried, everyday feels like hell. I've accept the fact that I might never live a happy and normal life like everyone else. I got overdosed by medication a week ago, because I fell ill to some diseases, I recklessly consumed too many medicines, I thought i was gonna die, my body went limp, my skin was dry AF, heart beating rapidly, I felt my blood veins twitching in my entire body, extremely dehydrated to the point my physical appearance is noticably changed, my body went cold like never before. And I thought : "this is it" I called my mother, apologized for everything I did wrong, apologized for being a disappointment. Hours passed, my body slowly recovered, it was a miracle I survived that nightmarish situation, it's like I was given a second chance to live, and here I am, still no change in my life, except I become chiller about my messed up life. Godspeed to you guys because suffering is the default state of this so-called "Life".
It's not the default state. You're not sorry, either, because you didn't change. So why say all that to your mom? Clearly your worldview is an expression of temporary self-hatred and loneliness and not what you honestly believe.
"Suffering is the default state"... I disagree, insofar as I believe there's no such thing as a default state. Sure, suffering is present to a degree in every existence, but what is done in response to it is a personal choice. For me personally, I've decided to stop judging the worthiness of myself and my life based on the expectations and actions of others. No one owns me, and I am my own person. My consent matters, and I don't consent to others trying to make me live their version of an idealized life, or anything other than what I want for that matter. It's my life, not theirs. They can do what they want, and so will I. It's not my job to be what they want. I realized a while back that people exist who will appreciate me as I am, and I've been lucky enough to find a small handful of them. I hope for the same happiness in your life.
Or be satisfied with who and what you are and "go with the flow." Recognize that not everyone can become rich and settle for comfy and secure within your abilities and available opportunities. Too many people feel that they must have what everybody else seems to want. Not surprising, since this what we have constantly been told for decades via Mass Marketing. Not everyone, of course, can come out on top. People are just plain, old dissatisfied at never "getting ahead." The pendulum is swinging. Or, should that be, "the chickens are coming home to roost?"
I really needed to hear this, when 99% of life advice is always just either "just love yourself uwu" or "just work on yourself uwu", I really needed something that validates me without any hyperindividualist narcissistic hustle culture bullshit I just want to be happy and loved, and while I still have yet to achieve either of those, it's good to know that I'm not the psychopathic failure that everyone says I am Thanks
I needed this, too and I completely agree. Most advice is "Get better and hustle and 'Do this and that." Truth be told, I seldom feel validated and it's not that other advice is bad, it isn't, but it fails to skip judgement.
@@hew-r5q I feel like a lot of times it is downright bad, at least for certain people, people like me who are emotionally and physically drained, executive dysfunction really makes the idea of self-improvement seem like a nightmare And there's also the fetishization of self-love, it's basically vanity and narcissism but in a prettier package in my eyes While both of these ideas probably seem good on paper, and while some people genuinely think that they work, they just frustrate me and having these ideas constantly shoved down my throat makes me want to abandon figuring out my life (by going to therapy and studying things like philosophy and psychology) altogether To each their own, but what seems to work for most people doesn't seem to work for me
@@guywithyoutubechannel8176 I agree, sometimes it's just the exhaustion hit, and then those thoughts of "you are not good enough" came creeping in, then you felt terrible; In the end we just need to take a good rest, as long as you need, then keep on
It depends, right? In some cases, giving up can be healthy. Not on life, of course-but on things that aren’t serving the real you anymore. Grinding endlessly without listening to yourself can be just as destructive. Sometimes, knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing when to keep going.
Yeah, I've found that perseverance and gratitude are what's really important. Just appreciate what you have---and how far you've come---and just keep moving. Even if it's just a step at a time. Life's not a race, so we don't need to live it like one.
@@AtomicF0x One fix, perseverance and gratitude are what's really important FOR YOU. It might not be for the person reading the comments, they might not even know whats really important to them and that is fine too
@@0---RABB1T---0 they say there’s no hope for your generation. Don’t worry about it. They said the same thing about my generation. Now gen X some of the toughest people on earth. Live for yourself and only do what you want to. Your time is limited, and although you may feel like you have a lot of time, you will find that changes after 35, and you’ll never stop feeling like you’re running out of time. If I could go back and tell myself something at your age: SAVE MONEY. Figure out how money works. Make it work in your favor. Do it early in your life.
In a game called Planescape: Torment, there is a riddle asking you "What changes the nature of a man?" and you're given a plethora of answers. They are all valid. It can be love, hate, suffering, joy, a lot of stuff. But there is one answer that the game wants you to pick, because it carries the thematic of the whole story: "regret". This stuck with me.
What always bothered me in life is how my peers and friends just seemed to go through life without any kind of effort and it just worked out for them anyway. Its so hard to give a shit anymore when I feel like the effort I put it leads to nothing and I see those around me do nothing and get everything...
@@Dial8Transmition Well, they haven't showed you that part, most people don't like it being out and open. In truth, all of these things they are doing either came at a cost in the background that they either already cried off or are currently ignoring, or it comes from trying to prove themselves to others rather then themselves, as they watch the people they want approval from ignore them still. I have seen this too much it genuinely hurts to see people who excel at exactly what they didn't want to do so they can be in good terms in the "real world" proudly becoming more of a cog in a machine then a man who wanted to just make their family happy, and become what they dreamed, after all, it's quite "childish" isn't it?
Same thoughts as the previous comments. Some people just appear to be strong and tend to hide their hard work. Do not trust everything on the surface and do your own part. You will be better.
I've been on a repeated cycle of having a job for 6-7 mos, then getting laid off, then getting another job then keeping it for around a year then getting laid off again. I admit and am aware of my inconsistencies and incompetence when it comes to work but it really crushes me sometimes to go to a stressful 9-5. I have a coworker who died last year of November due to how stress it was. God rest his soul. People who were closest to me now think that I am useless as I cannot stay or pin down a job. I am currently collecting myself and once I am whole again I will give it another go in life. Thank you.
It sounds like you've been through a lot. Please don't be so hard on yourself - it's okay to take the time you need to heal. And the fact that you're planning to give life another go shows incredible strength. Wishing you all the best as you move forward.
Good for you, man! Crying is very healthy! I can also recommend going in the forest anytime, but especially at sunset! It works wonders for the mind and the soul. Cheers, keep up the good work, accepting yourself and healing!
@@KahinAhmed72 uhhhh it WAS a dark souls reference but I don't think that hollows and the undead in darksouls are that THEMATICALLY dissimilar then i thought at first glance
Bram Stoker didn't write Dracula until he was 50, Grandma Moses started painting at 78, Tolkien started writing about Middle-Earth during World War I and took 14 years to write The Lord of the Rings.
@@JoshuaRWorkman As a writer it’s so hard to feel like I’m not achieving anything (I’m currently 21) but being reminded that certain “creative works” weren’t made until the author was more experienced can lead to motivation. Thanks for the reminder 👍
@@cjthetallpoet I'm 38, aspire to be a published author, and have little to show for it as well. But if Bram Stoker can live a full life and still put out one of the most influential vampire novels of all time at 50, then I'm not sweating not having anything major to show for my efforts now. Maybe I'll follow his lead and not get published until I'm 50. No idea what the next twelve years will bring.
What use is it to highlight these kinds of exceptions? It never helps me to compare myself to famous people, whether they be young, old, alive or dead.
@@JoshuaRWorkmanCan I ask if you have any ideas for a novel? I write poetry/aphorisms/haikus and sometimes flash fiction. Honestly my two current writing goals would be: reach a total of 40 publications (Currently at 23 if I count some artwork I made that got accepted into lit-magazine/websites) Start working to create a picture book for kids
The older you get, the more you value kindness. When my best friend thanked me for being an important and good person in his life, I burst into tears. All the doubts, mistakes, and pain of life up to that moment suddenly made sense because, clearly, they had helped me become a good person. There is nothing more blissful in life than realizing your importance to your loved ones. Cherish those you love, appreciate those who love you, and be kind. It’s incredibly difficult. But it’s worth it. Because that’s how you’ll understand that it was all not in vain.
Huge life lesson I have picked up over the last few years: What works out for one person seemingly the same as you may not work out for you, at all, no matter how similar you think you are to that person.
One of the greatest advice of all time. Problem is "my way" led me to be quite behind so many people. In so many areas I am lagging behind people twice younger than me. Thinking about lost opportunities is depressing. I will likely never reach perfect state I always wanted to be in. But I hope I will get there and working to do so in my own way. Connecting to people in my 30s is rough.
MAN i feel you so fucking much you wouldnt believe, Im 21yo and i've spent basically my whole life so far, rotting away in my room, the few friends i've made along those years, while STILL here for me if need be, have mostly moved on with their lives, while im stuck in a loop which May have been fine a decade ago, but its slowly eating away at me. I have no idea how to BE, and how to connect with people, all because of me doing things "my way". I've been trying to go out more and meet new people but its really tough as i often find myself exhausted, and with very little actual "real life" experience forming new friendships is really difficult. "No point being hard on myself, afterall, its my first time being alive" I unfortunately dont remember the original author of this thought but it resonated with me very much, so I hope it helps you look at your life differently, in a good way. Sorry if my thoughts were a little all over the place, its like 5:30am for me rn but hey remember to take care of yourself, stay safe and good luck on your journey through life fellow stranger.
@@empicamper thankyou all!! uploader for bringing me back to me..& to all these refeshingly different comments. Bless you all & plz never underestimate or overestimate yourselves. Never push yourself to conform to the latest new thing. Just be yourselves & many struggles you might go through but i promise you'll come out stronger for it than those who have it all handed to them. And never forget to put yourself 1st. No one else is going to do that for you!! I hope life works out for you all but no shame if it doesnt. Knowing you tried is enough. I send you all care & ❤ something ive never really had in my life either. From someone whose kid is older than some of you on here. 💞
@@empicamper man you are only 21, I am over 30. You can do it. If we long for connection we have to extend hand first and that requires courage and taking action - be it approaching a girl, joining new activities (like boxing club, I am considering it) or hell even just talking to random dude whose t-shirt you found extra cool. Idk why I pretend like I have but I am certainly working on it. :) And also don't forget about being "real" / "yourself" / vulnerable with people around you that you would like to connect with. It's one of a few ways to form genuine connection.
I don't think the video is telling you to stay as you are if you're unsatisfied with yourself. I see it more as telling you to accept your true feelings towards situations before trying to do anything at all because without knowing one's true self it's hard to change oneself.
Oh finally some REAL words, not those fake motivational crap. This is more like a real experience. I needed to hear this. I dont need anymore gibberish advices but this. Thanks.
Ikr, motivations in general be like : "Just don't be depressed bro, just put some effort bro, just live a healthy life bro, just be happy bro" Wtf... But it's ok, I don't blame those people, because understanding people indeed is not a simple thing to do in the first place.
@Frille512 I just got more depressed at gym, I am skinny and have a very fast methabolism it was hard to gain any result, i kust got frustated. It did help me my body feeling better and sleeping better, but it's not a magic thing will work for everyone, do go make some exercice, but don't expect to be a cure, rather a tool to improve, and also try look for an activity you like not just what everyone do
I realle needed that. Because you see.. I hate myself. My ex, when we were dating, even asked me (on my birthday out all dates) "Why do you hate yourself so much?". I never said that. It's that visible to others. I mean.. how can you *not* , really? It's easier to love others because you don't truly know them. You only know a small portion of things but you never know what they actually think and what they want. I am not saying everyone are secretly evil lmao but you get what I am saying- we can't get inside others' heads, we assume a lot of things and we hope it's the way we assume. But when it's yourself? You see and know everything. The laziness, the wasted potential, the guilt, all the mistakes you've made. So yea, of course I despise myself. Even if it's not productive (of course it's not). I just wish things were a bit better, a bit different. Everything snowballed out of control. I wish I was smarter, because no one can't fix your mess other than you. Not family, friends or doctors- only you. I always have these grand expectations, these big plans, but in the end of the day I struggle to achieve literally anything. So I really need to work on accepting myself and my imperfections. I need to ask myself what kind of person I am, what I really want. Thanks for your video
Sounds like you’ve already started asking yourself the right questions. That’s no small thing. You’re doing better than you think, trust me. Thank you again for watching and for being here.
Hey man If it can help just know that u are not alone I also hate myself And I believe that by working on yourself, your relationships will improve And to know yourself u could ask yourself questions that u would use to get to know someone better
@@Memesoon309 that requires consistency. I hope you guys can make it, I probably wont. Im not farming for kind words pls dont I just accepted the fact that I will fail because of how shit Iam
This is better advice than all of those other “motivational” videos out there combined. The ones where they just berate you for doing nothing, even when you clearly have (like you said) nothing you like to do. They just tell you to get up and do. Do what exactly? I dont KNOW what i want. As of right now, i am fine with what i have. I may sit on my ass the whole day when i am not at work, but what else am i to do? I am slowly trying to change a few things about me that really think i need. But some other things aren’t important to me. Take going to the gym, they keep repeating that like its some holy grail.
Fuck going to the gym. That's always seemed kinda ridiculous to me. If I have time I like going for long walks, but nowadays I don't have the time or energy after work. I used to do physical labor and was in great shape at that time. Not anymore because I run equipment, work really long hours and get home late. Tried to get jobs closer to home unsucessfully for 3 years. That didn't work, so I don't have time to even go for a walk except on weekends. Now I'm having issues with my knees also. I just quit caring, fuck it.
Man, I have been watching thousands of videos of self-improvement, life advices and help, because I noticed I was really feeling crushed by my own anxiety. And, no matter how many videos I watched, that told me that "becoming successful is easy" or "quitting porn is easy" because of this and that. But it's hard to hear that from others, who can't hear you back, and I still felt depressed in the end, and I failed every time I tried to improve. But, this video helped me more than I thought it would, never once have I thought that just hearing someone saying that "it's OK to fail, and to accept your pain" would already make me feel a bit better about myself. Don't know who you are, but, whoever and wherever you are, thank you, man.
I am irritated by everyone around me right now because I see life very differently than they do and like you said, it's not a one size fits all, I'm tired of being told what to do
We're just so used to think that we should be happy all the time that we avoid any type of suffering. The negative feelings we have are information, a problem to be solved. Ignoring them or trying to sedate yourself with distractions will lead you to a life of misery.
Heck, I never ignore my problems, even put real effort to make it better, to correct my mistakes and fix my past regrets, yet my life still haven't changed, and still miserable.
I hated my regular job. It meant getting up at 6 in the morning so that I was at work by quarter to 7. Just one single minute later would get me a dirty look or a remark from my boss. I never understood why I never got praise for working a couple of minutes longer at the end of the day. The job was boring, my colleagues were boring, time there didn't seem to go by fast enough and I was basically living from weekend to weekend. I had the feeling that I was trapped in a rut, that life was passing me by, that I was missing out on life. I eventually picked up some courage - it was very difficult - did a degree in engineering, I loved having flexible time and that I could determine when I worked or played. I only had to watch out that I was prepared for exams. After graduation I chose my jobs according to what I wanted to do and how I worked, not according to pay. I turn 74 this year and have never looked back. I still work, I love working because I love what I do. It doesn't make me rich money wise, but I'm rich in other ways. I can get up and start the day when I want to, take breaks and walk my dog when I want to, go on vacation when I want to, go visit friends when I want to, have my meals when I want to. Life is great, you just have to learn to live it the way you want to, not the way others expect you to.
You don't feel good about yourself because things get better, things get better because you feel good about yourself. It takes time to process the negative emotions that have built up over time, mostly given to you by others. You have to acknowledge, accept, and release those emotions before the burden of carrying them is lifted.
Be kind to yourself, forgive yourself, but never settle for mediocrity or weakness. Always strive to become the best version of yourself. It's not the fall that defines you, but the courage to rise after. Remember, you are more than your struggles, and you have the strength to conquer your fears.
This! The video in contrast basically says "accept yourself as you are, keep being mediocre, don't chase your dream because ehmmm tolkien did it in his 60s so you will too" copium
I hate giving the algorithm credit for anything, but this is one extremely rare occasion when it recommended something I actually needed to see. Thank you for making this video.
Somewhat simle words but you really touched me with them. Not typical 'oh just love and accept yourself '. My last two years were real shit and myself made it even worse , I am my own biggest enemy after all. But I am getting up on my feet little by little , and today I woke up , got some breakfast ,looked at the window, and thought I am 20 , will be 21 this year ,huh ,guess I still have everything ahead. Thank you , I needed something like this.
I'm honored to have touched you with my words. It sounds like you're on a great path - one step at a time. And hey, 21 is just the beginning. Wishing you a happy future birthday and an even brighter future ahead!
Thank you for this. You know, I did actually quit porn. But it took everything I had. I failed 3 out of the 5 classes I took in that last semester 2 years ago because all my willpower was spent. Its been 2 years. 2 years of not working out, not looking for love (or even for hookups), not looking for a better job, not going back to school. 2 years of lying to everyone and saying I was doing those things so that they wouldnt piece together the full picture of how pathetic I was. Hearing someone say that one of the main things that I did to start all of this is "too hard".... feels like someone who would get me. Someone who wouldnt call me pathetic for being a guy thats only good at not doing things. Thanks for this.

It's been found that monkeys masturbate more in captivity, and lab rats stop choosing drug-laced water over clean water when they have an environment to freely move and explore and play in and interact with other rats. Does that perhaps make the addiction make more sense?
You are awesome for sharing this so openly here. And I liked the part where you said: being good at doing nothing. I was doing it for 6 years, it gave me so much even if there was a lot of suffering, I actually felt at a certain point that I wanted to open up again but I moved to fast and landed in a big fucking hole, overwhelmed from past stuff. That was shit, still working on that. Its that sense of curiosity deep within me which creates that openness to life and that's how I want to meet life. It's just not easy to find people who are similar or where I don't feel judged. But there where times where I actually was proud of my self for being lazy and I thought the whole world should do it so that we can enjoy our selves more. 🧡🌈🙂
Thank you for these words, dear random person from the internet. I have no idea how this reached me when I needed it, but I guess the algorithm works in mysterious ways.
The almighty algorithm brought me here I guess. And I truly appreciate the message, even if I feel like I'm not the target audience at this particular moment. But that time will come again. Thank you. I hope everyone struggling finds this video
I had a friend who might secretly think he's dumb because he learns thing slowly. I also learn things slowly, but I know how to follow my own pace and keep moving. I still hope I'll have a chance to tell him that he is not dumb at all.
Sometimes it helps when someone online out there can put my own circumstance in coherent perspective, if not afford me alternative ways to frame things deconstructivity. Was laid off from my cinema job of 12 years at the end of last year as the building closed down, scrambled for a month to find something, then last week got a place at a thrift store only to find that it's not what I thought and very physically exhausting (receiving and production) which invokes all the worries about money, imposter syndrome and negative emotions of just working in general. Through it all I know it's normal to feel like shit and really cool that it's presented to me in such a way so thanks for that. It's early at the place I now find myself in to be sure, but just acknowledging that I can walk either with it or away from, pacing myself by myself and owning the fact that it's alright to feel the way I do, whilst looking back placing value in the strides I have made, it really does help fresh my perspective that everyone is battling through and if we can prop each other up as we go that's cool.
The only long video which i have paid attention to after days lol thank you so much. I know im an irresponsible person who has been going through some painful stuf in mind. I always have been treated like I constantly needd to improve and stuff, nobody ever said. You're enough. The comments in youtube, the short videos couldn't get my acceptance on that until this video. This video is definitely all forgiving.
Felt this! I’m not exactly in a bad place right now, but nowhere near where I expected myself to be by now. The weight of expectation can put a heavy load on you.
my ex gf after breakup she made me feel like nothing, cuz i didn't find my thing yet, im still finding myself every day, she also said i have no strong will, but ive seen her cry over nothing and i was there for her, but when it was time for me be to cared for she dismiss it all together, she made me feel like a bug, but that was 5 months ago and im happier then ever now, stared new hobbies, started doing what i love and looking out for myself.
I'm happy for you, it's good to read a positive story in these comments as some people have totally lost their faith in happiness. Keep up the good work man
Growing up with conservative parents is tough, very tough, possibly the toughest thing you can go through because you'll be convinced for years that the way they act towards you and others is right. I've wasted years and am still wasting it because I think im a failure and Im just in my early 20s
@@halobat64My parents are conservative and I wouldn’t be where I would be today if it weren’t for them. Could my life be better right now? Of course. But what got me through life and my parents was their faith in the Lord. And we’re not religious either. We understand God’s love and His grace. And we love others just as Jesus did! Anyway my point being is that your parents meant well, even if they were probably wrong at times, and parents are wrong sometimes BELIEVE ME. You still got time man. God bless you
I almost 50 and I've never seen or found this dream or passion I'm supposed to have. I never say it gets better, because in my life, I've never seen it get appreciably better. I just say it gets manageable.
I really needed this. Seriously. I had no idea how much I needed to hear this. I'm just sitting here at home doing remote work alone and without speaking to a soul and I really needed this. I'm constantly thinking "what am I doing wrong" because I barely speak to anyone, don't have a partner and only get together with friends every blue moon when they aren't busy with their own work, families and other friends. I needed this. I'm going to keep going. Thank you.
Very wise words. The Master understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao. - Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu
Its interesting how the mind can adapt through the environment and how it can flow when you stop searching, you eventually finds what you are looking for, be a good or bad thing.
Everyday I feel one step closer towards genuinely accepting failure after years of rampant perfectionism instilled by those around me. This video helps. Thank you.
I think this is the best self improvement/life advice video i've seen on youtube. I'm a guy and i've realized life is hard. And it's not like i have to overcome some difficult circumstances, I'm healthy, I have a caring family, and last year I got into university. Despite that i don't feel happy most of the time. It always feels like I am my biggest enemy. I struggle with finding motivation to do the things i'd want to do, the things that would make me feel accomplished. Lately i'm trying to be honest with myself accept my faults and acknowledge my feelings, however bad they may be. Since then I've been doing a lot better. I think listening to yourself is the best way to find your way in life, and its awesome to see this message posted here on youtube for people to stumble upon. Sorry if there are any errors or misspelings english isn't my first language. To anyone reading this, have a great day however you may feel right now.
Its okay to feel bad. its okay to cry. its okay to not feel confident in the future. but you shouldnt let those feelings dictate how you live life read up on philosophy, and embrace that suffering is a part of life. you learn to live with suffering and eventually embrace it. find joy in things you like such as hobbies and talk to friends to keep yourself in a good mental state as well
Had a breakdown s few days ago, felt 100% identified with this video and im just tired, not in energy meaning but mentally tired, angry and sad and powerless about my own feelings and life, never had control of my life, only did things in school because i was forced too, now im useless, cant study, cant find a job, unnatractive as hell and even thought no one says it, i know im a damn dissapointment, dont know what to do about it, everyone tells me what to do but cant or dont want to, but i don't want to lose hope, there gotta be light at my tunnel, a place to go where i belong with people to back me up, just gotta keep moving so i can find it, thanks for the reflecting video so i can stop torturing myself for things that i cant change or revert, just pick up my experiences and lessons and keep moving.
I once heard a guy say "Its ok to fail. Remember, this is your first life. Its your parents first lives too." We are all fucking whimming it. The only life advice ill ever give is to just enjoy yourself. Youre alive, why not enjoy it?
Moral of the story is be who you are and love it. You’re worth it and don’t give up on who you are. Dont compare yourself. There is a better half of you but you have to keep trying to seek him.
Thank you for this....I was expecting to hear the usual big business 20 something year old screaming about how losers are unsuccessful cause they aren't working to achieve their dreams and the usual shtick but...this was super helpful and really reached me...thank you
We're all human, we're not perfect. It's okay to lose, it's okay to fail, it's okay to feel tired or overwhelmed... you don't have infinite willpower, no one does. You're human. The best thing we can do is try to be better next time. Don't worry about what others say would be best for you. Just worry about what you think would be best for you, best for your mind and personal development, and focus on that. And if you fail, accept your failure, and move on. Life is made of attempts and failures, and at least you're still here. You're still alive, which means you haven't completely lost. This video helped, thank you.
This can be said louder but not clearer. The worst thing you can do to yourself is not living for yourself. Everyone is going to eventually die so don't waste time hammering yourself because you are not the person who you are supposed to be. What that even means? Why is there someone else saying who are you supposed to be? What's their problem? Know yourself. Not who you want to be, but who you are. Know both your strenghts and defects, because that's what you have to work with. Having a moment of introspection every day or even a diary is useful for that (because that's the point of a diary, introspection).
thanks for this message, a lot of people might be suffering from the issues you have mentioned. including me. i hope we all get there wherever we belong to eventually
Thank you, for this video. Recently I just started my college semester and it's been rough for me to even.. do anything I really love, I felt left out not being able to catch up with anyone else, the fast pacing trends, their joy with creating animations, I want to do that immediately but I wasn't able too. Genuinely thank you for reassuring me that it's all okay to feel negative feelings sometimes. Things happens and that's that, and this is this.
It's easy to feel left behind when everyone else seems to be sprinting ahead, but it’s your own race you're running. Keep going, you’ll find your rhythm.
When I first discovered this video I was attempting and still trying to workout become a lot stronger and hoped that’d slowly heal my sad thoughts like that, but realising what you’ve said around the end about who I am and being myself makes me think that all those anxious memories ive experienced all those scary thoughts I’ve had is just myself having my own adventure through my life, seeing the people I see, stressing and feeling down there and here is all just the challenge in my life that I’ll one day face it’s kinda gotten me excited to what else I’ll get to experience in life and how I’ll experience them whether I feel sad or happy during it it’ll be like another episode of life and I absolutely will enjoy going through it every step of the way! Thank you really. In a sense I do want to feel better and all I have to do like you said is show that you want to get better and keep within that line to help yourself become the YOU you feel like becoming!
We're ultimately just space dust hurtling through the void at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. There's no right or wrong way to live life, do whatever you want, whatever fulfills you, makes you whole, like buddy said, it's different for everyone, Hard part is figuring yourself out and going from there.
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die... a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh... a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away... a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."
This better than 99,9% of all "Self help" Bs videos on youtube. It's so simple but so powerful, it's an advice masterpiece. My friend, you made the world a bit better for a some people already :)
Giving up has never been in my DNA. I don't know when or how but I'll continue to grind until I succeed in whatever I'm pursuing without being told what to do or pleasing people because I don't care what anyone says about me. Screw people pleasing
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
@@wulph24 it’s called the psychological term “deflection”.. by shifting the weight of responsibility and accountability onto someone or something else makes anyone fell better. The old “not my problem” attitude.. whatever works. It’s not a “religious” matter.
What helped me was giving myself routine tasks and start small. I used my phone and a todo list. At first I only added "Brush your teeth". I did that for a while. Then I added every 2 weeks "Clean one corner of the room". I noticed that keeping your room tidy is a big part of mental health. Not telling that you have to clean your room that you can eat from the floor, but like in the pictures of the video, it makes a huge difference if garbage is scattered around you or not. You don't need to do it all in one swoop. If you need 3 months to clean your room, so be it. As been said "Everyone has his own pace"
Damn, man. I needed to hear this. Fuck, I'll need to hear this every other week from now, and every week of the past few years till I got here. Feels really shitty, when all the advice comes down to: "Do stuff. I don't give a fuck, that you can't even stand up or move a finger. Now. Eat healthy for the rest of your life, hit the gym, go outside, get a well paying job, and move out by tomorrow." Thanks, man.
It's weird that we don't tell this to those who graduate. And what comes in finding you own thing. It's worth trying things you might like. Inspiration comes after.
I don’t usually comment on RUclips videos, but I had to say - this is very profound. If you allow yourself to actually feel, only then you will be able to take action. Thank you
see, like most people, these kinds of videos tend to show up in my recommendations in the wee hours of the night - but this, and a handful of others have shown up in the middle of the day. On a particularly hard day no less. Thank you.
This is amazing. I like that this video is different from all the other videos telling you what to do in life. "Go at your own pace" I love that. Thank you for this
Thank you so much! I'm really glad the message stood out to you. That 'go at your own pace' mindset is something I wish more people heard. Really appreciate you watching!
@@HazyBlackest Your welcome! People should stop treating life like you always have to be successful, because the truth is we all lose at life. Even the billionaires of the world. To depression, pain, suffering and worst of all death. In the bible Jesus says "We don't belong on this Earth" The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I'm just happy one day I might go to heaven. Because there's a home waiting for me there :))
Thank you for making this video. These insights need to reach more people. This is how I started to live life the past year or so and it feels so much easier. I still get painful dull moments but my relationship to them has changed now. I'm trying to embrace them more as a natural part of the human experience. Michael singer fleshes out this philosophy of unconditional acceptance much further through his talks. Helped me immensely in getting to grips with it
I actually never realized to accept myself, when I'm thinking about being better i mostly think about Mindset, Hardship and that kind of stuff. I never take a peek about why i actually want it in the first place, do i truly want it? or it is because i were driven by others. Hopefully i can start to figured out what i actually want to do, start accepting how i perform in life, probably there's gonna be a bit of bias there when im doing it, but oh well. May you guys have a peaceful life 🙏
It’s a blurry line for most people, and it’s more common than you think. Don’t sweat it-you’re already taking steps toward figuring it out, and that’s huge. Just the fact that you’re reflecting on it means you’re getting closer to your answer. Thanks for watching!
I've learned this recently as a 24 yr old that when you have an emotion, allow yourself to feel it. Dont cast judgement on the emotion, whether it be anger, sadness, shame, or happiness. Just sit with the emotion and dig deeper into the root cause of it.
You can't know how helpful and touching this video was to me, let alone to likely thousands of others, and all you did was share your wisdom and perspective. I've never known how to find my purpose, and you stated why beautifully: a lack of understanding and willingness to be with who we are, the weakness we feel, keeping it at a distance by judging and comparing. I'm glad you've gleaned this wisdom and I wish you and everyone else on earth all the best. Fuck it, I wish aliens the best too.
I'm really glad it resonated with you - that means a lot. And hey, you're right - everyone deserves the best, even the aliens! Here's hoping they land in peace on our small planet.
If you end up with depression and or anxiety, it's a good thing to acknowledge and except that you are depressed. Don't expect to much of yourseIf and take it stwp by step. But if it's really bad, allow yourself to have a couple of sick days in bed where you don't do anything. Until you're ready to do aomwthing about it yourself. What others wants you to do or what they expect from you won't help unless you want it yourself.
Lately I have a whole streak of such videos. As a child I thought that in the 20s we would already be building a colony on Mars, and not this surreal crap.., and videos (games, films) from the 2000s look like something from another life, as if everything was fine then.

This started as generic don't-worry reassurance but then, “If the thought of not finding your calling until you're older feels too depressing, that's okay too. Be depressed. Cry about it.” WOW. That's the real holy-s*** moment that woke me up and will stay with me. Excellent video overall, thanks for making it.
My pleasure! Glad it helped!
@@HazyBlackestit's refreshing to be understood
Facepalm.. low iq
@@EphixAuthor I like how "cry about it" isn't even a taunt. I'm used to it being that, but in this case it's kind of a permission not to suppress your feelings.
Take it from being a Navy Veteran of 7 years with PTSD. Crying is normal. Not crying literally only hurts you emotionally over a long period. Crying is a way for the body to release chemicals which actually end up soothing you, like how you genuinely feel better after crying. If you’ve been taught not to cry, over a long enough period it can feel impossible to cry. I used to work with patients in mental health as a Behavioral Technician. Not crying often leads to stunted emotional growth, your brain is like a computer made of flesh that has the unique ability to adapt and evolve in terms of what you feel, learn and so on.
I had learned to survive without crying and I gotta say, it sucked. It really felt like something was always gnawing at me in the dark that I just couldn’t express. Crying is a reaction from the brain and it has a genuine purpose.

A lot of people don't say that it's okay to do such things as feel depressed, or cry. It's so stigmatised especially as a man that you are isolated and feel defeated by society. So much pressure that you can feel as a failure when you're not.
Thank you
My pleasure. I did feel as though the mindset of just accepting yourself as you are is kind of missing these days; glad it resonated. Thank you for watching.
Society sucks
Society is always a manipulative field. Sympathises fakely while in pain and criticised while happy.
Women hate to see men behave that way, far more than any other man. For men know, what women refuse to see of men. That we are all just human.
@@glenfoxh yes, we are just humans trying to find our way in the world and doing our best.
I'm 30, no friends, unemployed, unmarrried, everyday feels like hell.
I've accept the fact that I might never live a happy and normal life like everyone else.
I got overdosed by medication a week ago, because I fell ill to some diseases, I recklessly consumed too many medicines, I thought i was gonna die, my body went limp, my skin was dry AF, heart beating rapidly, I felt my blood veins twitching in my entire body, extremely dehydrated to the point my physical appearance is noticably changed, my body went cold like never before.
And I thought : "this is it"
I called my mother, apologized for everything I did wrong, apologized for being a disappointment.
Hours passed, my body slowly recovered, it was a miracle I survived that nightmarish situation, it's like I was given a second chance to live, and here I am, still no change in my life, except I become chiller about my messed up life.
Godspeed to you guys because suffering is the default state of this so-called "Life".
It's not the default state. You're not sorry, either, because you didn't change. So why say all that to your mom? Clearly your worldview is an expression of temporary self-hatred and loneliness and not what you honestly believe.
“Suffering is the default state.”
Couldn’t had said it better. Kinda like life will all fuck us. Just gotta find a way to get fucked less. 😂
God has given you the chance to start your life again from new.
Some medications can overdose you but not kill you.
"Suffering is the default state"...
I disagree, insofar as I believe there's no such thing as a default state. Sure, suffering is present to a degree in every existence, but what is done in response to it is a personal choice.
For me personally, I've decided to stop judging the worthiness of myself and my life based on the expectations and actions of others. No one owns me, and I am my own person. My consent matters, and I don't consent to others trying to make me live their version of an idealized life, or anything other than what I want for that matter.
It's my life, not theirs.
They can do what they want, and so will I. It's not my job to be what they want.
I realized a while back that people exist who will appreciate me as I am, and I've been lucky enough to find a small handful of them.
I hope for the same happiness in your life.
Life is not a fair race. Nobody has the same start line. Yet everyone keeps acting as if everyone has the same finish line.
Why do people think "fair" exists?.
@AS-np3yq Because they cope
Or be satisfied with who and what you are and "go with the flow." Recognize that not everyone can become rich and settle for comfy and secure within your abilities and available opportunities.
Too many people feel that they must have what everybody else seems to want. Not surprising, since this what we have constantly been told for decades via Mass Marketing. Not everyone, of course, can come out on top.
People are just plain, old dissatisfied at never "getting ahead." The pendulum is swinging. Or, should that be, "the chickens are coming home to roost?"
I really needed to hear this, when 99% of life advice is always just either "just love yourself uwu" or "just work on yourself uwu", I really needed something that validates me without any hyperindividualist narcissistic hustle culture bullshit
I just want to be happy and loved, and while I still have yet to achieve either of those, it's good to know that I'm not the psychopathic failure that everyone says I am
Thanks
You are not alone, stay strong and thanks for watching. Really happy it helped you.
Ur not a failure uwu
I needed this, too and I completely agree. Most advice is "Get better and hustle and 'Do this and that." Truth be told, I seldom feel validated and it's not that other advice is bad, it isn't, but it fails to skip judgement.
@@hew-r5q I feel like a lot of times it is downright bad, at least for certain people, people like me who are emotionally and physically drained, executive dysfunction really makes the idea of self-improvement seem like a nightmare
And there's also the fetishization of self-love, it's basically vanity and narcissism but in a prettier package in my eyes
While both of these ideas probably seem good on paper, and while some people genuinely think that they work, they just frustrate me and having these ideas constantly shoved down my throat makes me want to abandon figuring out my life (by going to therapy and studying things like philosophy and psychology) altogether
To each their own, but what seems to work for most people doesn't seem to work for me
I'm sure you're not any of those things, don't listen to people
this is a rare take, so I'm happy to hear you say it. Sometimes vague/hollow encouragement is not what you need, sometimes you just need to rest.
Thank you! That's a huge compliment. I agree, rest is very valuable. Thanks for watching!
@@guywithyoutubechannel8176 I agree, sometimes it's just the exhaustion hit, and then those thoughts of "you are not good enough" came creeping in, then you felt terrible;
In the end we just need to take a good rest, as long as you need, then keep on
Rest in the fact that very little is up to you.
You nailed it.I am not depressed, I just need rest.
been resting for 5 years now, it isn't fair
Failing is okay, giving up is not.
Sometimes, just continuing is enough.
It depends, right? In some cases, giving up can be healthy. Not on life, of course-but on things that aren’t serving the real you anymore. Grinding endlessly without listening to yourself can be just as destructive. Sometimes, knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing when to keep going.
@@HazyBlackest This is incredibly reasonable.
Yeah, I've found that perseverance and gratitude are what's really important. Just appreciate what you have---and how far you've come---and just keep moving. Even if it's just a step at a time. Life's not a race, so we don't need to live it like one.

In a game called Planescape: Torment, there is a riddle asking you "What changes the nature of a man?" and you're given a plethora of answers. They are all valid. It can be love, hate, suffering, joy, a lot of stuff. But there is one answer that the game wants you to pick, because it carries the thematic of the whole story: "regret". This stuck with me.

Stop focusing so much on other people and focus more on yourself.
@@Dial8Transmition Well, they haven't showed you that part, most people don't like it being out and open. In truth, all of these things they are doing either came at a cost in the background that they either already cried off or are currently ignoring, or it comes from trying to prove themselves to others rather then themselves, as they watch the people they want approval from ignore them still. I have seen this too much it genuinely hurts to see people who excel at exactly what they didn't want to do so they can be in good terms in the "real world" proudly becoming more of a cog in a machine then a man who wanted to just make their family happy, and become what they dreamed, after all, it's quite "childish" isn't it?
Same thoughts as the previous comments. Some people just appear to be strong and tend to hide their hard work. Do not trust everything on the surface and do your own part. You will be better.
is it really fair to compare yourself to those people? they had a different path that lead them there
I've been on a repeated cycle of having a job for 6-7 mos, then getting laid off, then getting another job then keeping it for around a year then getting laid off again. I admit and am aware of my inconsistencies and incompetence when it comes to work but it really crushes me sometimes to go to a stressful 9-5. I have a coworker who died last year of November due to how stress it was. God rest his soul.
People who were closest to me now think that I am useless as I cannot stay or pin down a job.
I am currently collecting myself and once I am whole again I will give it another go in life. Thank you.
It sounds like you've been through a lot. Please don't be so hard on yourself - it's okay to take the time you need to heal. And the fact that you're planning to give life another go shows incredible strength. Wishing you all the best as you move forward.

The older you get, the more you value kindness. When my best friend thanked me for being an important and good person in his life, I burst into tears. All the doubts, mistakes, and pain of life up to that moment suddenly made sense because, clearly, they had helped me become a good person. There is nothing more blissful in life than realizing your importance to your loved ones. Cherish those you love, appreciate those who love you, and be kind. It’s incredibly difficult.

Problem is "my way" led me to be quite behind so many people. In so many areas I am lagging behind people twice younger than me. Thinking about lost opportunities is depressing. I will likely never reach perfect state I always wanted to be in. But I hope I will get there and working to do so in my own way. Connecting to people in my 30s is rough.
MAN i feel you so fucking much you wouldnt believe, Im 21yo and i've spent basically my whole life so far, rotting away in my room, the few friends i've made along those years, while STILL here for me if need be, have mostly moved on with their lives, while im stuck in a loop which May have been fine a decade ago, but its slowly eating away at me. I have no idea how to BE, and how to connect with people, all because of me doing things "my way". I've been trying to go out more and meet new people but its really tough as i often find myself exhausted, and with very little actual "real life" experience forming new friendships is really difficult.

And also don't forget about being "real" / "yourself" / vulnerable with people around you that you would like to connect with. It's one of a few ways to form genuine connection.
I don't think the video is telling you to stay as you are if you're unsatisfied with yourself.

Oh finally some REAL words, not those fake motivational crap. This is more like a real experience. I needed to hear this. I dont need anymore gibberish advices but this. Thanks.
Ikr, motivations in general be like : "Just don't be depressed bro, just put some effort bro, just live a healthy life bro, just be happy bro"
Wtf...
But it's ok, I don't blame those people, because understanding people indeed is not a simple thing to do in the first place.
I used to be depressed, then i started hitting the gym with my friends 5 days a week. Then i wasn't depressed anymore, but committed.
@Frille512 I just got more depressed at gym, I am skinny and have a very fast methabolism it was hard to gain any result, i kust got frustated. It did help me my body feeling better and sleeping better, but it's not a magic thing will work for everyone, do go make some exercice, but don't expect to be a cure, rather a tool to improve, and also try look for an activity you like not just what everyone do
I realle needed that. Because you see.. I hate myself.
My ex, when we were dating, even asked me (on my birthday out all dates) "Why do you hate yourself so much?". I never said that. It's that visible to others.
I mean.. how can you *not* , really?
It's easier to love others because you don't truly know them. You only know a small portion of things but you never know what they actually think and what they want. I am not saying everyone are secretly evil lmao but you get what I am saying- we can't get inside others' heads, we assume a lot of things and we hope it's the way we assume.
But when it's yourself? You see and know everything. The laziness, the wasted potential, the guilt, all the mistakes you've made. So yea, of course I despise myself. Even if it's not productive (of course it's not). I just wish things were a bit better, a bit different. Everything snowballed out of control. I wish I was smarter, because no one can't fix your mess other than you. Not family, friends or doctors- only you.
I always have these grand expectations, these big plans, but in the end of the day I struggle to achieve literally anything. So I really need to work on accepting myself and my imperfections. I need to ask myself what kind of person I am, what I really want. Thanks for your video

@@Memesoon309 that requires consistency. I hope you guys can make it, I probably wont. Im not farming for kind words pls dont I just accepted the fact that I will fail because of how shit Iam
This is better advice than all of those other “motivational” videos out there combined. The ones where they just berate you for doing nothing, even when you clearly have (like you said) nothing you like to do. They just tell you to get up and do. Do what exactly? I dont KNOW what i want. As of right now, i am fine with what i have. I may sit on my ass the whole day when i am not at work, but what else am i to do? I am slowly trying to change a few things about me that really think i need. But some other things aren’t important to me. Take going to the gym, they keep repeating that like its some holy grail.
Fuck going to the gym. That's always seemed kinda ridiculous to me. If I have time I like going for long walks, but nowadays I don't have the time or energy after work. I used to do physical labor and was in great shape at that time. Not anymore because I run equipment, work really long hours and get home late. Tried to get jobs closer to home unsucessfully for 3 years. That didn't work, so I don't have time to even go for a walk except on weekends. Now I'm having issues with my knees also. I just quit caring, fuck it.
Man, I have been watching thousands of videos of self-improvement, life advices and help, because I noticed I was really feeling crushed by my own anxiety. And, no matter how many videos I watched, that told me that "becoming successful is easy" or "quitting porn is easy" because of this and that. But it's hard to hear that from others, who can't hear you back, and I still felt depressed in the end, and I failed every time I tried to improve.
But, this video helped me more than I thought it would, never once have I thought that just hearing someone saying that "it's OK to fail, and to accept your pain" would already make me feel a bit better about myself.
Don't know who you are, but, whoever and wherever you are, thank you, man.
watching videos that aint gonna change nothing
It was a pleasure. Thank you for watching and Godspeed.
I am irritated by everyone around me right now because I see life very differently than they do and like you said, it's not a one size fits all, I'm tired of being told what to do
It’s okay. 😊 You’re allowed to feel what you feel. it’s exhausting when people try to force their way on you. Just take it at your own pace.
We're just so used to think that we should be happy all the time that we avoid any type of suffering. The negative feelings we have are information, a problem to be solved. Ignoring them or trying to sedate yourself with distractions will lead you to a life of misery.
Heck, I never ignore my problems, even put real effort to make it better, to correct my mistakes and fix my past regrets, yet my life still haven't changed, and still miserable.
This right here i was just thinking about . Thank you for this comment!
@@randomvids2679wow 😢
I hated my regular job. It meant getting up at 6 in the morning so that I was at work by quarter to 7. Just one single minute later would get me a dirty look or a remark from my boss. I never understood why I never got praise for working a couple of minutes longer at the end of the day. The job was boring, my colleagues were boring, time there didn't seem to go by fast enough and I was basically living from weekend to weekend. I had the feeling that I was trapped in a rut, that life was passing me by, that I was missing out on life.
I eventually picked up some courage - it was very difficult - did a degree in engineering, I loved having flexible time and that I could determine when I worked or played. I only had to watch out that I was prepared for exams. After graduation I chose my jobs according to what I wanted to do and how I worked, not according to pay.
I turn 74 this year and have never looked back. I still work, I love working because I love what I do. It doesn't make me rich money wise, but I'm rich in other ways. I can get up and start the day when I want to, take breaks and walk my dog when I want to, go on vacation when I want to, go visit friends when I want to, have my meals when I want to.
Life is great, you just have to learn to live it the way you want to, not the way others expect you to.
You don't feel good about yourself because things get better, things get better because you feel good about yourself. It takes time to process the negative emotions that have built up over time, mostly given to you by others. You have to acknowledge, accept, and release those emotions before the burden of carrying them is lifted.
We can't all be winners but losing doesn't have to be that hard
Be kind to yourself, forgive yourself, but never settle for mediocrity or weakness. Always strive to become the best version of yourself. It's not the fall that defines you, but the courage to rise after. Remember, you are more than your struggles, and you have the strength to conquer your fears.
This! The video in contrast basically says "accept yourself as you are, keep being mediocre, don't chase your dream because ehmmm tolkien did it in his 60s so you will too" copium
"you cannot feel the seafloor if you are hollow, sometimes you need to sink to stand."
everything that rises falls.
That's deep😅
I hate giving the algorithm credit for anything, but this is one extremely rare occasion when it recommended something I actually needed to see. Thank you for making this video.
Glad the algorithm led you here. Thank you for your kind words!
"Do not compare yourself to others. It's an insult to yourself." ~ Bill Gates
100% agree.
The only meaningful measure of the you of today is the you of yesterday.
Somewhat simle words but you really touched me with them. Not typical 'oh just love and accept yourself '. My last two years were real shit and myself made it even worse , I am my own biggest enemy after all. But I am getting up on my feet little by little , and today I woke up , got some breakfast ,looked at the window, and thought I am 20 , will be 21 this year ,huh ,guess I still have everything ahead. Thank you , I needed something like this.
I'm honored to have touched you with my words. It sounds like you're on a great path - one step at a time. And hey, 21 is just the beginning. Wishing you a happy future birthday and an even brighter future ahead!
Thank you for this. You know, I did actually quit porn. But it took everything I had. I failed 3 out of the 5 classes I took in that last semester 2 years ago because all my willpower was spent. Its been 2 years. 2 years of not working out, not looking for love (or even for hookups), not looking for a better job, not going back to school. 2 years of lying to everyone and saying I was doing those things so that they wouldnt piece together the full picture of how pathetic I was. Hearing someone say that one of the main things that I did to start all of this is "too hard".... feels like someone who would get me. Someone who wouldnt call me pathetic for being a guy thats only good at not doing things. Thanks for this.
@@wallysullivan9315 ive wasted 10 years of my life, due to all kinds of problems and terrible life situations. If you wasted only 2 youre not that bad lol. Take time to regain your strength and get at IT one step at a time. You can do this
You’ve come a long way, and that’s something to be proud of. Thank you for sharing this it means a lot. And thank you for watching.
It's been found that monkeys masturbate more in captivity, and lab rats stop choosing drug-laced water over clean water when they have an environment to freely move and explore and play in and interact with other rats.
Does that perhaps make the addiction make more sense?
Interesting @@Ayzev
You are awesome for sharing this so openly here. And I liked the part where you said: being good at doing nothing. I was doing it for 6 years, it gave me so much even if there was a lot of suffering, I actually felt at a certain point that I wanted to open up again but I moved to fast and landed in a big fucking hole, overwhelmed from past stuff. That was shit, still working on that. Its that sense of curiosity deep within me which creates that openness to life and that's how I want to meet life. It's just not easy to find people who are similar or where I don't feel judged. But there where times where I actually was proud of my self for being lazy and I thought the whole world should do it so that we can enjoy our selves more. 🧡🌈🙂
Thank you for these words, dear random person from the internet. I have no idea how this reached me when I needed it, but I guess the algorithm works in mysterious ways.
I'm glad it reached you as well. Thank you for watching, and happy that it helped.
God placed the video here for you to find
Same here, it's odd indeed 😮😮
The almighty algorithm brought me here I guess. And I truly appreciate the message, even if I feel like I'm not the target audience at this particular moment. But that time will come again. Thank you. I hope everyone struggling finds this video
I had a friend who might secretly think he's dumb because he learns thing slowly. I also learn things slowly, but I know how to follow my own pace and keep moving. I still hope I'll have a chance to tell him that he is not dumb at all.
Sometimes it helps when someone online out there can put my own circumstance in coherent perspective, if not afford me alternative ways to frame things deconstructivity.
Was laid off from my cinema job of 12 years at the end of last year as the building closed down, scrambled for a month to find something, then last week got a place at a thrift store only to find that it's not what I thought and very physically exhausting (receiving and production) which invokes all the worries about money, imposter syndrome and negative emotions of just working in general. Through it all I know it's normal to feel like shit and really cool that it's presented to me in such a way so thanks for that.
It's early at the place I now find myself in to be sure, but just acknowledging that I can walk either with it or away from, pacing myself by myself and owning the fact that it's alright to feel the way I do, whilst looking back placing value in the strides I have made, it really does help fresh my perspective that everyone is battling through and if we can prop each other up as we go that's cool.
The only long video which i have paid attention to after days lol thank you so much. I know im an irresponsible person who has been going through some painful stuf in mind. I always have been treated like I constantly needd to improve and stuff, nobody ever said. You're enough. The comments in youtube, the short videos couldn't get my acceptance on that until this video. This video is definitely all forgiving.
Felt this! I’m not exactly in a bad place right now, but nowhere near where I expected myself to be by now. The weight of expectation can put a heavy load on you.
I hope the algorithm picks this one up. I feel like shit after being used and lied to for a very long time, but I guess feeling like shit is okay
I hope so too, and things will get better! Thanks for watching!
I hope you're doing alright man
my ex gf after breakup she made me feel like nothing, cuz i didn't find my thing yet, im still finding myself every day, she also said i have no strong will, but ive seen her cry over nothing and i was there for her, but when it was time for me be to cared for she dismiss it all together, she made me feel like a bug, but that was 5 months ago and im happier then ever now, stared new hobbies, started doing what i love and looking out for myself.
Good for you, fam. Glad things worked out for you, and that you eventually moved on. Thanks for watching!
@HazyBlackest im glad there's guys like that know the importance of everyone has their own pace
I'm happy for you, it's good to read a positive story in these comments as some people have totally lost their faith in happiness. Keep up the good work man
Growing up with conservative parents is tough, very tough, possibly the toughest thing you can go through because you'll be convinced for years that the way they act towards you and others is right. I've wasted years and am still wasting it because I think im a failure and Im just in my early 20s
Look at this way, at least you can walk forward knowing better then you knew then. Ya know? Good luck to you matey, and have a good day.
@@halobat64My parents are conservative and I wouldn’t be where I would be today if it weren’t for them. Could my life be better right now? Of course. But what got me through life and my parents was their faith in the Lord. And we’re not religious either. We understand God’s love and His grace. And we love others just as Jesus did! Anyway my point being is that your parents meant well, even if they were probably wrong at times, and parents are wrong sometimes BELIEVE ME. You still got time man. God bless you
@@SomeHomesickAlien being liberal trash is your problem
I almost 50 and I've never seen or found this dream or passion I'm supposed to have. I never say it gets better, because in my life, I've never seen it get appreciably better. I just say it gets manageable.
I really needed this. Seriously. I had no idea how much I needed to hear this. I'm just sitting here at home doing remote work alone and without speaking to a soul and I really needed this. I'm constantly thinking "what am I doing wrong" because I barely speak to anyone, don't have a partner and only get together with friends every blue moon when they aren't busy with their own work, families and other friends.
I needed this. I'm going to keep going. Thank you.
In times like these, words like this are indeed a small treasure.
"Everyone has their own pace!" Exactly. That was what my mom was always trying to tell me.
Very wise words.
The Master understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao. - Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu
This feels like a breath of fresh air from all the motivational videos offering solutions that are behind the unbreakable glass wall of being you
Bless your face - and if you sneezed during this video, bless you! In all seriousness, that’s an amazing compliment, and I truly appreciate it.
Thanks!
'Life....but how to live it?'
Its interesting how the mind can adapt through the environment and how it can flow when you stop searching, you eventually finds what you are looking for, be a good or bad thing.
Everyday I feel one step closer towards genuinely accepting failure after years of rampant perfectionism instilled by those around me. This video helps. Thank you.
I think this is the best self improvement/life advice video i've seen on youtube.
I'm a guy and i've realized life is hard. And it's not like i have to overcome some difficult circumstances, I'm healthy, I have a caring family, and last year I got into university. Despite that i don't feel happy most of the time. It always feels like I am my biggest enemy. I struggle with finding motivation to do the things i'd want to do, the things that would make me feel accomplished. Lately i'm trying to be honest with myself accept my faults and acknowledge my feelings, however bad they may be. Since then I've been doing a lot better. I think listening to yourself is the best way to find your way in life, and its awesome to see this message posted here on youtube for people to stumble upon.
Sorry if there are any errors or misspelings english isn't my first language.
To anyone reading this, have a great day however you may feel right now.
I used to have such a positive attitude but lately I'm miserable and I don't know how to break free from this feeling
@@TeresaOverholt-ky1ct try fasting, u could have parasites in ur gut
Its okay to feel bad. its okay to cry. its okay to not feel confident in the future. but you shouldnt let those feelings dictate how you live life
read up on philosophy, and embrace that suffering is a part of life. you learn to live with suffering and eventually embrace it.
find joy in things you like such as hobbies and talk to friends to keep yourself in a good mental state as well
Finally a video with some truth. This just gave me natural inspiration. Gave me some hope. Not by making me be feel like I’m behind. Thanks mate!
Really appreciate it! I'm so glad it gave you some inspiration - and in a way that didn’t make you feel behind. Thanks for watching, fam!
Had a breakdown s few days ago, felt 100% identified with this video and im just tired, not in energy meaning but mentally tired, angry and sad and powerless about my own feelings and life, never had control of my life, only did things in school because i was forced too, now im useless, cant study, cant find a job, unnatractive as hell and even thought no one says it, i know im a damn dissapointment, dont know what to do about it, everyone tells me what to do but cant or dont want to, but i don't want to lose hope, there gotta be light at my tunnel, a place to go where i belong with people to back me up, just gotta keep moving so i can find it, thanks for the reflecting video so i can stop torturing myself for things that i cant change or revert, just pick up my experiences and lessons and keep moving.
I once heard a guy say "Its ok to fail. Remember, this is your first life. Its your parents first lives too."
We are all fucking whimming it.
The only life advice ill ever give is to just enjoy yourself.
Youre alive, why not enjoy it?
Moral of the story is be who you are and love it. You’re worth it and don’t give up on who you are. Dont compare yourself.
There is a better half of you but you have to keep trying to seek him.
Thank you for this....I was expecting to hear the usual big business 20 something year old screaming about how losers are unsuccessful cause they aren't working to achieve their dreams and the usual shtick but...this was super helpful and really reached me...thank you
Glad to hear it reached you, and thank you for watching!
We're all human, we're not perfect. It's okay to lose, it's okay to fail, it's okay to feel tired or overwhelmed... you don't have infinite willpower, no one does. You're human.
The best thing we can do is try to be better next time. Don't worry about what others say would be best for you. Just worry about what you think would be best for you, best for your mind and personal development, and focus on that. And if you fail, accept your failure, and move on. Life is made of attempts and failures, and at least you're still here. You're still alive, which means you haven't completely lost.
This video helped, thank you.
You've got a heart of gold.....don't let them take it from you.
NEVER. Thank you for the compliment :)
This is literally the best video I've ever watched! Thank you Hazy!
An absolute honor to hear that, thank you! And thank you for watching!
This can be said louder but not clearer. The worst thing you can do to yourself is not living for yourself. Everyone is going to eventually die so don't waste time hammering yourself because you are not the person who you are supposed to be. What that even means? Why is there someone else saying who are you supposed to be? What's their problem?
Know yourself. Not who you want to be, but who you are. Know both your strenghts and defects, because that's what you have to work with. Having a moment of introspection every day or even a diary is useful for that (because that's the point of a diary, introspection).
Drinking and playing video games on Saturday night is the only solace I get in life right now, and I'm going to enjoy it God damnit.
Go get 'em
thanks for this message, a lot of people might be suffering from the issues you have mentioned. including me. i hope we all get there wherever we belong to eventually
Hope so too, and it was a pleasure making this video :)
A line in a drama i once heard was "I like the lows, it makes the highs higher."

Thank you, for this video. Recently I just started my college semester and it's been rough for me to even.. do anything I really love, I felt left out not being able to catch up with anyone else, the fast pacing trends, their joy with creating animations, I want to do that immediately but I wasn't able too. Genuinely thank you for reassuring me that it's all okay to feel negative feelings sometimes. Things happens and that's that, and this is this.
It's easy to feel left behind when everyone else seems to be sprinting ahead, but it’s your own race you're running. Keep going, you’ll find your rhythm.
0:42 you almost guessed, North Pole
gaaaaah
When I first discovered this video I was attempting and still trying to workout become a lot stronger and hoped that’d slowly heal my sad thoughts like that, but realising what you’ve said around the end about who I am and being myself makes me think that all those anxious memories ive experienced all those scary thoughts I’ve had is just myself having my own adventure through my life, seeing the people I see, stressing and feeling down there and here is all just the challenge in my life that I’ll one day face it’s kinda gotten me excited to what else I’ll get to experience in life and how I’ll experience them whether I feel sad or happy during it it’ll be like another episode of life and I absolutely will enjoy going through it every step of the way! Thank you really. In a sense I do want to feel better and all I have to do like you said is show that you want to get better and keep within that line to help yourself become the YOU you feel like becoming!
Really glad it helped with your mindset. Thank you for watching, and you are very welcome!
We're ultimately just space dust hurtling through the void at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour.
There's no right or wrong way to live life, do whatever you want, whatever fulfills you, makes you whole, like buddy said, it's different for everyone, Hard part is figuring yourself out and going from there.
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die...
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh...
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away...
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."
I found this randomly, but at the perfect time, I'm having a hard day but this makes it feel a little more bearable and I appreciate that immensely
Super happy to hear that. Thank you for watching!
This better than 99,9% of all "Self help" Bs videos on youtube. It's so simple but so powerful, it's an advice masterpiece. My friend, you made the world a bit better for a some people already :)
Acceptance is a big tenet of buddhism. Most buddhist seem pretty happy and content.

Giving up has never been in my DNA. I don't know when or how but I'll continue to grind until I succeed in whatever I'm pursuing without being told what to do or pleasing people because I don't care what anyone says about me. Screw people pleasing
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
@@Xman-j3p I'm not religious, but I find a slight comfort in these words.
@@wulph24 it’s called the psychological term “deflection”.. by shifting the weight of responsibility and accountability onto someone or something else makes anyone fell better. The old “not my problem” attitude.. whatever works. It’s not a “religious” matter.
Yep. Very true. Spent most of my adult life feeling like a failure until I finally realized it's ok to do things at my pace. Thank you for the video!
What helped me was giving myself routine tasks and start small. I used my phone and a todo list. At first I only added "Brush your teeth". I did that for a while. Then I added every 2 weeks "Clean one corner of the room". I noticed that keeping your room tidy is a big part of mental health. Not telling that you have to clean your room that you can eat from the floor, but like in the pictures of the video, it makes a huge difference if garbage is scattered around you or not. You don't need to do it all in one swoop. If you need 3 months to clean your room, so be it. As been said "Everyone has his own pace"
What's important is that you eventually got to it. Recognizing what needs to be improved and accepting it is a huge step forward
Damn, man. I needed to hear this. Fuck, I'll need to hear this every other week from now, and every week of the past few years till I got here. Feels really shitty, when all the advice comes down to: "Do stuff. I don't give a fuck, that you can't even stand up or move a finger. Now. Eat healthy for the rest of your life, hit the gym, go outside, get a well paying job, and move out by tomorrow." Thanks, man.
You are very welcome.
Correct .. Be your Authentic Self .. and you are likely to attract others to you that are looking for those true attributes in someone
I wish that was an option for me.
Man I always find these videos right when I’m on the edge of doing smth really stupid.
Thanks man. I needed to hear this.
Glad to hear it helped and that it resonated. We all do stupid stuff sometimes - you’re not alone. :)
It's weird that we don't tell this to those who graduate. And what comes in finding you own thing. It's worth trying things you might like. Inspiration comes after.
Because if we say that. The people won't be able to pressurise into work r higher studies
Walks and exercise is how I pulled myself out of a year-long slump. Gradual small efforts add up over time for lasting results
I don’t usually comment on RUclips videos, but I had to say - this is very profound. If you allow yourself to actually feel, only then you will be able to take action. Thank you
Thank you for the kind words, and for watching!
see, like most people, these kinds of videos tend to show up in my recommendations in the wee hours of the night - but this, and a handful of others have shown up in the middle of the day. On a particularly hard day no less.
Thank you.
This is amazing. I like that this video is different from all the other videos telling you what to do in life. "Go at your own pace" I love that. Thank you for this
Thank you so much! I'm really glad the message stood out to you. That 'go at your own pace' mindset is something I wish more people heard. Really appreciate you watching!
@@HazyBlackest Your welcome! People should stop treating life like you always have to be successful, because the truth is we all lose at life. Even the billionaires of the world. To depression, pain, suffering and worst of all death. In the bible Jesus says "We don't belong on this Earth" The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I'm just happy one day I might go to heaven. Because there's a home waiting for me there :))
Thank you for making this video. These insights need to reach more people. This is how I started to live life the past year or so and it feels so much easier. I still get painful dull moments but my relationship to them has changed now. I'm trying to embrace them more as a natural part of the human experience.
Michael singer fleshes out this philosophy of unconditional acceptance much further through his talks. Helped me immensely in getting to grips with it
I actually never realized to accept myself, when I'm thinking about being better i mostly think about Mindset, Hardship and that kind of stuff. I never take a peek about why i actually want it in the first place, do i truly want it? or it is because i were driven by others. Hopefully i can start to figured out what i actually want to do, start accepting how i perform in life, probably there's gonna be a bit of bias there when im doing it, but oh well.
May you guys have a peaceful life 🙏
It’s a blurry line for most people, and it’s more common than you think. Don’t sweat it-you’re already taking steps toward figuring it out, and that’s huge. Just the fact that you’re reflecting on it means you’re getting closer to your answer. Thanks for watching!
I've learned this recently as a 24 yr old that when you have an emotion, allow yourself to feel it. Dont cast judgement on the emotion, whether it be anger, sadness, shame, or happiness. Just sit with the emotion and dig deeper into the root cause of it.
You can't know how helpful and touching this video was to me, let alone to likely thousands of others, and all you did was share your wisdom and perspective. I've never known how to find my purpose, and you stated why beautifully: a lack of understanding and willingness to be with who we are, the weakness we feel, keeping it at a distance by judging and comparing. I'm glad you've gleaned this wisdom and I wish you and everyone else on earth all the best. Fuck it, I wish aliens the best too.
I'm really glad it resonated with you - that means a lot. And hey, you're right - everyone deserves the best, even the aliens! Here's hoping they land in peace on our small planet.
If you end up with depression and or anxiety, it's a good thing to acknowledge and except that you are depressed. Don't expect to much of yourseIf and take it stwp by step. But if it's really bad, allow yourself to have a couple of sick days in bed where you don't do anything. Until you're ready to do aomwthing about it yourself. What others wants you to do or what they expect from you won't help unless you want it yourself.
Lately I have a whole streak of such videos. As a child I thought that in the 20s we would already be building a colony on Mars, and not this surreal crap.., and videos (games, films) from the 2000s look like something from another life, as if everything was fine then.
The algorithm surprised me with this one. This is what I need right now. Nothing new to me, but an affirmation of my thought. Thank you Hazy Black.
My pleasure! I'm glad to be a source of some positive affirmation for you. Thank you for watching!
