Therapist Reacts to LEAVE ME ALONE by NF
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2024
- Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Leave Me Alone by NF to discuss doubt and the way it can feel like it threatens to overwhelm and consume us. We often spend a lot of energy trying to fight all of our doubt at once, and like the song suggests it can be helpful to face and release the doubt one doubt balloon at a time.

Watching people on RUclips experience NF for the first time is my guilty pleasure lmfao.
Same Bro, looking at if from an outside prospective. i think us NF fam. who watch people feel the emotional experience of NF, in turn helps us not feel so alone in our mental struggle of our daily lives. Theres a lot of us who watch this stuff.
Facts
Been doing it for years 😂
You would absolutely love "Mansion." It's the song that essentially creates NF's universe. If you like analogies, that's the one.
This ☝🏻
If you listen to mansion PLEASE listen to Intro III afterwards as it picks up right where mansion leaves off
Yes. I love how he goes back the "Mansion" in the Hope music video.
Mansion is so good! That whole album got me through so much.
This
Cant wait for her to react to therapy session
Going to be a wild one! And "How Could You Leave Us"
Looking forward to Mansion than Therapy Session
Therapy Session and Outcast are the songs that got me started on NF.
@@nate2838 I am definitely a fan of Outcast. One of my favorite songs - music video too. Talking about the caution tape in Intro 1 and got him reminiscing .. his head is in the clouds. Than albums later puts out a mixtape with the song called Clouds where he says "y'all know where my heads at... y'all know where my heads at" while something like the Tornado sirens are going off
True artistic mind
I think Why is underrated too
I think that Let You Down (parent/child relationships) and Time (S.O. relationships) are NF's best, personally. Easily accesible melodies and both touching deeply on psych issues
FYI -- The balloons represent his 'burdens' -- in this case 'doubt' is one of his 'burdens'. They are referenced both in the lyrics and through videos. As a lot of people pointed out in your first reaction video NF links all of his videos together essentially and has been telling an ongoing 'story' since the first video that he continues to weave in with each video. He is the king of callbacks. I really hope you get through a lot of this older stuff before jumping into HOPE or you'll miss literally a decade of callbacks. NF doesn't do anything by accident. If there's something in the video you don't understand it's either him linking to something in the past or foreshadowing something we'll see soon.
Oh yea, I was trying to be careful as to not spoil anything, but in The Search towards the beginning he mentions "leaving my burdens, well I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect" as he's pointing back to the balloons tied to the shopping cart he was pulling around.
Also every song in the search album references a different burden that he has
yh but in this specific song hes only talking about doubt
You're kind of on the right track with the balloons doubt is probably one of them but the balloons represent his burdens everything anxiety depression doubt anger fear
NF is jaw dropping. Saw him in August 2023 parents there with their children all rapping every word it was awesome ❤
Nice! I saw him in 2021 and just saw him again a week ago. Amazing both times
Suggests reactions to the NF song Mansion , you will get to know him better.
Please more NF!
Definitely need to do Mansions, everyone else that said it is right.
Amazing how he's written his albums like a series of books. A novel idea. ;)
And his music videos connect like movies connecting together like a plot involving a roller coaster
The balloons are his burdens. This dude is so deep and everything ties together from song to song and album to album. He is on a completely different level. Ive been following him since the beginning and I have been saying that he will go down as one of the greats. Listen to "Remember This". Its one of the most motivational songs Ive ever heard.
Okay, just found you. And i can't tell you how much i love cold opens. Forget they "hey guys! I'm gona blah-de-blah-deblah!" Just straight in. Cold opens for the win.
Very Nice. Mansion by NF is the next you need to react to.
I agree
The balloon analogy is so powerful I have balloons and keys (outro/ intro 3) from his music tattooed on me
This is so cool!
Decade long NF fan here and have watched thousands of reactions to his stuff.. yours are top tier and make me so happy!! It's been a blast watching you dig into his stuff!!!🔥 Can't wait for the next one!!
I love this reaction! I agree with others that I'd love to see your reaction and thoughts to his song called "Mansion."
The part where he says "I think of a rhyme and I have to record it, but know if I don't I'll wake up in the morning, and question my life again" is so relatable.
I think of so many songs and don't get them down. Though I only make my music for me, so the burden is less than the weight of his song. Yet so good to hear your experience spoken. NF FTW.
NF "How could you leave" BROKE ME!!
How could you leave us.. is heartbreaking
I love your energy when you listen to these powerful songs. As someone that's dealt with depression for over 20 years and multiple attempts at suicide, music like this truly resonates deeply with my soul. A lot of people like these tunes just because they have a good beat and a catchy hook, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it is nice that you break it down for people that may be struggling to understand mental health. Thank you
For me, the best thing about these types of songs is, for those of us who truly listen but might not have struggled like this, is it gives us a picture we can empathize with.
I'm glad you like the channel. We, like you, believe in the power of music. It sounds like it's been really powerful in your life too, and helped you heal and move through really painful experiences. Thanks for sharing a snippet of your story here, and I just want to say I'm really glad you're still here. I can tell you're an encourager (even the way you encouraged me in this comment proves it) and the world needs people like you. Hope music continues to help you cope - T
@@DyvmSlorm I LOVE this!! - T
@@HeartSupport when you've been through the darkness and still struggle with it every single day, you don't want others to ever feel that way so you do whatever you can to make sure that they don't. Whether that's by making people laugh, giving them something to vibe to, or just by saying something nice to build them up. It's so easy to do and yet so many people take for granted how much such a small action can turn someone's day around. When I took psychology I came to the realization that a lot of the people that were in my class were there for the same reasons I was. They had suffered in their lives and wanted to make a difference for someone else. I don't know if that applies to you but that is what you do for us. I know you are a busy lady and have a large following so thank you for taking the time to reply. I know I appreciate it.
@heartsupport I struggled with self harm and suicidal ideation for years and struggled with not feeling good enough. NF music really helped me from 2018 onwards and challenged me to find my self worth and hope.
Wow I have seen reactors to this song at least 100 times and yours has been by far the best in regards of dissecting it, awesome , do more NF please I’d love to hear your perspective on his other songs
wahhhh thank you so much! - T
You for sure have to check out Mansion and therapy session!
I wanted to say that I appreciate your reactions to these songs... I also value your professional insight as it kind of validates some of the feelings that these songs inspire in me. I wanted to recommend on top of all the great recommendations in this thread...
"How could you leave us" ... I am 48yrs old and have a 19 yr old daughter who lived this song ... I will never forget the day I heard it playing from her room when she was 12yrs old after a "self deletion" attempt and I listened to the words from downstairs... I literally sobbed uncontrollably (but quietly) for her as she played it over and over again... someone finally was able to "reach" her. I truly believe that NF helped to save my daughter.
"Happy" is a song that speaks to me, as someone who struggles with "a reason" almost everyday.... this song spoke to me, in my soul.... As you have noted, I don't know if someone who has not struggled with mental health and self worth can understand the relief of finally understanding that "you are not alone" in how you feel....
Anyway, "How could you leave us", "Happy" by NF (bring tissues for both) and I think you'll like "Chalk Outlines" by Ren/Chinchilla
"diagnosed with OCD what does that mean will gather round, it means I obsessively obsess on things I think about .........let's move on to something else" I quote this entire part when explaining how debilitating OCD can be ( I teach AP Psychology)- Love NF
I have seen countless reaction videos of NF music. Like, probably hundreds..not kidding. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this deep of a dissection of this song. I caught some new perspective of this. So beautiful. Well done! Thank you for sharing your views on this song! You have a beautiful heart! ❤
I’ve watched so many nf reactions, but your input and your love for the music is amazing! You are such a vibe! Love your content
Oh man I loved you and your reaction! So entertaining! Idk if you’ve reacted to *Hope* but it’s INCREDIBLEEEE and your minds gonna be BLOWN🤯can’t wait for more #NFREALMUSIC🖤🎵
You need to do a reaction to a song called "To Be a Man by Dax (feat. Darius Rucker). This song hits me so hard and I feel like it needs to be spread more than it has been.
x2 such a great song
if you go back and watch the videos visuals, it tells this story:
of how all of us have our burdens (the black balloons) and wear a mask (the black make-up smile) and wear our black clothes (possibly open to interpretation or i missed something, but to me it feels kind of like self-enforced loneliness or maybe hopelessness)
all around him are people getting help with these things (remember at the end of the search somebody offered him a set of white clothes) and NF sees people getting their mask washed away, and exchanging their black clothes for white clothes, and getting relief from their burdens by sharing them (like with a therapist)
and he also sees where he'll wind up if he doesn't seek out this help (the old homeless man in black with the same shopping cart still tied to the same clump of burdens) and finally at the end he has the courage to start the process of letting himself be helped
Knowing one’s doubts is better than the feeling of fear and thoughts of being vulnerable to the unknown.
I’m probably in the most stable position of my 27 year life and my house tells me it’s gonna fall apart any day. I just want to be happy and I won’t let myself
"Remember back in "NO NAME, " I said fame called?
Told you I hung up, it kinda felt wrong
Finally called him back, we didn't talk long
He asked me how I'd been, I sent him this song"
Name of the "this song": "Leave Me Alone"
NF's lyrics cut deep and got all of the layers.
If you like the personification of Fame, youll love the personification of Fear in Intro 3
The line that always hits me the hardest is do the same thing everyday otherwise I'm overwhelmed. Literally me to a T. Everytime I try to step out of my comfort zone it's like this overwhelming blanket that feels suffocating.
From Lisalovesfeathers: @rickthestick6995 Hi Friend, Thank you for your comment. I know exactly what you mean, I have personally live my life by sticking to my comfort zone and although it has helped my anxiety greatly it has led to me getting past middle age and havng achieved virtually nothing and I dont wish that for you for a moment.
A question you could ask yourself is do you deserve this and please let me tell you
From jpaga: @rickthestick6995 Hi friend,
You’ve also perfectly described me there. Due to a mixture of things I tend to avoid stepping out of my comfort zone and stick to my routine. I tend to avoid spontaneous plans and need much time for mental preparation if I am to do something new. I think the problem here is the avoidance. I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but the more we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone and the more we push things away, the more we make things difficult for ourselves. It is completely natural to stick to what we are comfortable with, but it also ends up limiting all of the new experiences we could have! It does take time and effort, but when you are ready, I think that recognizing those moments where you have the option to avoid or embrace a new situation and trying to choose the latter will be beneficial in the long run. It was very hard for me to do at the beginning, I too would get very overwhelmed and regret stepping out of my comfort zone (and still do to some extent), but it does get easier. And most importantly, I know I am making things better for my future self. What you are experiencing is completely understandable and I am willing to bet also quite common, but striving for our growth is so important, and one step at a time, we should always try to do what is best for us even at the cost of some discomfort in the moment. I hope this can help even a little bit, but just know that you are not alone, that I wish you the best, and that we will always be here to listen whenever you need someone <3
From Micro: @rickthestick6995 Stepping out of your comfort zone requires so much energy out of you. It makes completely sense that, most of the time, it turns out to be an exhausting experience, and something that you wouldn't want to come back to. When you go beyond your limits of the moment, you are actively facing your fears, and that is such a HUGE effort! Something positive though, is to keep in mind that in the midst of the overwhelm, you are learning to stretch those limits. My therapist used to tell me that I worked on extending my comfort zone, rather than stepping out of it. It gives me this image of something that is actively growing, not an experience under parenthesis. When in doubt, and when overwhelmed, it often helped me to remind myself that these experiences accumulated are making a difference, even if I'm not feeling it yet. It's like being head first in the intensity of the work, then at some point you have the possibility to take some distance and see how much you've grown over the years.
If anything, we're so very proud of you here for not letting your fears define you. You are building resilience, and that is so strong and courageous of you!
Love your NF reactions. 🤘
Hope you get to Hope by NF. He has soooo many songs you will love.
You gotta start it from the beginning. He'd be a really fascinating "patient" for you. His growth and change is what his fans love about him
The more I watch this omg the more I know you'd love his journey
I guarantee you would love Falling in Reverse doing their reimagined videos. "The drug in me, reimagined." and "Last resort by Papa Roach reimagined."
My balloons said basically the same as NF's balloons and I think now I can feel that they holding me back for sure and I cannot let them go.
From djstarion: @attilaasd4747 Hello friend!
You're 100% right about the balloons. It's like since they're balloons we know they're there, and they may not carry any type of physical weight, but it's definitely an emotional weight. I also feel that over time, the helium will be gone, and those balloons will slowly disappear. If we keep doing what we're doing and being open with ourselves and taking care of ourselves, we can build up the courage to release a balloon. I wouldn't say pop it necessarily, but by releasing that mental balloon, you can visually see that progress that you made to get to that point.
From sbrent: @attilaasd4747 We all have something that is keeping us from pursuing our dreams or going after the things we want in life, but we have to ask ourselves is this thing really as powerful as it seem to be or is it us that has given this thing too much power. I want you to know that you are powerful, and you have the ability to leave whatever is holding you back powerless. Rooting for you!
From Malig3: @attilaasd4747 Hey there,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Feeling held back, like a wall is building up between you and your future best self, is difficult and frustrating. So, I hear you; I understand you. The balloons symbolize emotional weight floating around that you can't seem to let go of. I know that time and self-love can heal this. Putting time and energy into yourself and the things that make you happy, will make those balloons seem smaller and smaller. I hope someone or something that makes you laugh/smile crosses your path today. Wishing you the best <3
From NateTriesAgain: @attilaasd4747 Hey friend, I can relate to what you shared as well with my own balloons. I recorded a video reply to you here: www.loom.com/share/f892d8bfe8944ed8bfe20b8af63f7cc1
-nate, heartsupport staff
I love NF. I have been on a long Journey since I first found him. Listening to him and you talk about all this shows me how far I have come. I still have some balloons, but it's not like it was.
You are about to have your mind blown with NF. Any song, but each album is a season, each song is an episode. Welcome to the NF universe!
The balloons are his burdens!
"He's like having a conversation with his doubt!" God, i want to see her react to Intro 3 lmao
Please do NF "Why" this is an amazing song. I listen to it every day.
My first nf song was lost. Hope it gets covered because it's amazing
Love your energy but also love your ability to catch the depth of his lyrics. Really hoping you do more NF. I’ll also say Mansion should be next as it’s the very beginning and set up the rest of his songs/story. You liked the personification of fame in this one, you’ll love Mansion.
Not only should you listen to Mansion. You should listen to his albums back to back since it tells his story in order. It’s amazing.
I could watch this awesome woman talk for days she’s so cool!!!!!!
thanks friend :) - T
Will you react to other NF songs? If so “hate myself” and “how could you leave us” would be two interesting songs to analyze
Mansions is good because it sets the groundwork of what his head is. He describes the house he references in the search. Intro III is good because he talks to his anxiety and buries it.
Gotta go check out ‘Running’ by NF. One of his best tracks he has made and easily relatable for many people.
Anxiety is a real pain... it does actually protect you but it's not like there is no cost. You can miss out on a lot by taking the easy way out and letting anxiety decide what is and isn't right for you.
One of my biggest regrets in life so far was not recognizing it sooner, I lost most of my 20's and 30's because of it. I'm thankful in some ways I realized it before it was too late to change anything though so that's what I'm working on :)
If you love this song. Listen to his song (Why) it's pretty deep song also
Love this ❤❤ you should react to mansion its really good ❤ and if you can go through mansion without the nervous stomach then your not human
Love these reaction videos! 💛
I know im commenti g on older videos, but i definitely think NF Videos should be watched in chronological order. They are one video.
First of all Nf is a great music creator and I am in a similar situation to him, what my mind says is with time it will get better but i make no actions to fix myself and i wait for time to fix itself
❤️ it! Excellent reaction and breakdowns!
🩸🗝😎
Your reactions and the way you break down the song you really need to do NF's journey im here for it
I love your reactions, makes my day. And with your background the insights you provide are great! Keep it going!!
Brilliant reaction...so much insight
You need to listen to NF's song Running if you haven't already. It's very powerful.
U need to do the journey! It’s a whole story! U can do ALL I HAVE, MANSIONS song, NOTEPAD, Paralyzed, off first album then skip and go to THERAPY SESSIONS do full album in order, Perception full, The search full, clouds full album, hope in order
this analysis really hits home, thank you for making this content
I genuinely love you reacting
After you finish the NF Journey, you should check out Dax. “To be a man”, “Dear Alcohol”, “Depression”, etc.
omg i love this sooo much. this song was mz alarm through whole high school lol
Really glad I found your channel! You’re so fun to watch. lol
❤ Your reactions are wholesome. Also, good work. I'm so glad you found this song; it makes me happy seeing you find the beauty in it. Keep shining. Well done 👍🏿✅✅
YOUR REACTIONS ARE SO GOOD
I know the NF story been a fan from his start. I love hearing people try to break it down who hasn’t been around. And I’ve never needed a therapist but seeing you I might need some help lol. You’re gorgeous…and I meant that with 100% respect not being weird. Just complimenting you and complimenting your reaction
His song "Happy" destroyed me. It hurt so much with how well I related to it.
The balloons are his Burdens, but I bet 100 people already commented this - Great Video - More NF please!
The beginning of this song is my ringtone. Everytime this song comes on I have to do a double take.
love this reaction, sub right away, been trough therapy for mental probs and drugs for almost 2 years. all love from SWEDEN
Yes the balloons are definitely his burdens n Mansion is definitely a must
Big NF fan here! Running is another good song I believe you should do
Your analysis of this song is by far the best one I've heard yet. The way you've broken it down makes complete sense and it makes this song even more brilliant than I previously perceived it to be.
This is the girl from Heroes!
The entire "The Search" album is really good. A little tough to listen to at points, but extremely good.
Can’t wait for you to get to Intro 3
We’re gonna need you to continue please
I'm a SUDP (Substance Use Disorder Professional). I'm here for it! Keep doing what you're doing and stay blessed my sister.
Subbed ✅
More NF! Great reaction
I've been following Nate's work for over a year now. I've seen several reactions to NF from psychotherapists on RUclips. And I can say that your interpretation is the closest to reality. It's very interesting to listen to you, and I'm looking forward to the next episodes on NF. I think you, as a psychologist, should especially like his songs Mansion, Change, Nate, Therapy Session, Remember This and a number of others 😅
I myself am a novice psychologist from Russia, so I speak from a professional point of view.
🔥🔥🔥 in my top 10 songs
Really great break down!
The thumbnail 😂😂
Love your reactions.
New subscriber here!
Ok I loved your reaction, you had some really nice thoughts.
I'm here for it - BRILLIANT reaction and insight! The way you picked up on the Fame personification and how real that line is... beautiful. When you asked 'what are your balloons of doubt saying?' LOVED it. Excellent reaction! NF's art is amazing 🖤🤍🔥
Balloons are his burdens!!!!
Love your reactions!
One of the best NF reactions out there! Great job! Love to follow your NF journey.
As many others I recommend Mansion, Therapy session, How could you leave us, All I have, Remember this… well there is plenty of great NF work. 😂
That was an impressive explanation of how he sees his doubts protecting him. I really like how you take the time to explain that. I am with the others in the comments, you gotta take the journey so you can see where he is coming from in all of these songs. This man is one of a kind and he put all of it in his music.
You really need to hop on the NF train! He has soooo many good songs, plus you are a great reactor because you get it! And if you want to jump on HOPE, there's so many things you need to understand aboute Nate and his songs before! He is a very interesting and amazing lyricist and his songs and stories makes us understand his life!
Love your facial expressions and overall reactions! Mansion, therapy session would be fantastic for you.
I’m skeptical of mental health diagnoses, but I was diagnosed with OCD years back. Never used it as a crutch, never really think about it, but “diagnosed with OCD what does that mean well gather round: that means I obsessively obsess on things I think about,” is a great way to describe it
I CANT WAIT TILL YOU WATCH HOPE AND HAPPY!!! IM ADDICTED TO YOUR VIDEOS
awww thank you!! - T
I'm subscribing just to see you go through the "NF Journey!"
You’ll Love “Therapy session”, Mansion” and “why did you leave us “ will give you some background to Nate,..his music is SO amazing on every level and is truly truly therapy for me as it’s shown me I’m not alone in feeling what I feel
As someone with OCD I can relate to his songs.
I’m so excited to watch this with you.
