i ask myself why questions which lead to what questions. i’ve had everyone in my life tell me how self-aware i am and i wish i wasn’t. it makes me subject to constant self-induced scrutiny and it’s like i’m always being watched by someone even if i’m alone.
My mind usually goes along the lines of "Oh what's causing this?" and then I start questioning why. I find the source of the issue first and then start figuring out how to fix it by asking myself why. I find that it makes more sense doing both rather than just one or the other
I do a similar thing where i go "why does this happen and how do i stop it" then i figure it out and ask myself "what should i do for that" figure that out and do none of what i thought and continue scrolling on shorts
It's not just asking those questions. It's seeking the answers and then CHANGING yourself for the better every damn day and being kind to everyone and respectful and mindful
Finally someone realised this! You blend with me! ❤ Edit : A question - Do you face trouble in relationships and tend to overthink and have mood swings?
@@romarose I am not overthinking 😂😂 Actually the username has 7177 I am a psychic and the thing is that according to numerology if number 7 is there for 3 or more times the person tend to overthink and is generally anxious Hence I am worried about the person who commented

I always break down numbers I see in the comments too.
@@romarose same Well it's nice to meet you, we both are psychics let's empower each other cuz that what true healers do, right? 😊 Edit : 'you' can creat miscommunication, instead you could have used 'one', it denotes a general mass.
That's super interesting. I certainly don't always get around to the "what" questions, but I do find the "why" questions help me get started at processing my emotions, and then I move into the "what" questions to make actual changes
Being your own therapist is so funny. I'm the same way. I'm pretty good at finding possible causes to an issue, so i identify my problems really quickly. I can recognize my emotions and why i feel that way, but that doesnt mean im going to control them lol. Everyone who I've dated fell for me because they said i could read their mind. Crazy
YESSS. I went to therapy and I sat down like “yeah all this stuff has happened to me but I think it’s because of x,y, and a, and I’m working on fixing it.” And my therapist just said “uhm I literally can’t help you ahaha”
@@Kai_pjofanNAWW SAME LIKE I went to therapy and I told em what I felt and talked through what I thought was why and they were like, “yeah you got it man”
I think im self aware enough that my old therapist said "well, what do you need me for?" But sometimes I can slip into a spiral and kinda fall into autopilot. I think im probably both but tbh it probably fluctuates? Sometimes im figuring myself out and making direct action to better my life and other times im subconsciously avoiding that due to anxiety or stress.
I really relate to this! The “why” questions are what lead me down a spiral in my anxiety and sadness, and the “what” questions drag me out of the holes that I fall into.
I relate too much. I had the same experience with a therapist. She told me, "You seem to be handling everything well and you know how to work on what's not doing well. So I don't think I can help you" 🥲. I realised I just needed someone to speak to (I was going through grief during the pandemic and couldn't see many people)
Another thing is if you have anxiety (im just talking about myself) you are probably very selfaware of the smallest details like eye color, but it is proven that people who dont have anxiety are most likely to not be selfaware
I do both I'm basically my own therapist, really, lol I have to solve my problems and it made me a happier person I'm still learning why I randomly shake, etc. But I been happy
@@aferlessfan2440 wait, really? I can't confirm if I have ADHD without a therapist, but I have tons of signs of having ADHD But I didn't know shaking was something with ADHD I'm not going to say I have ADHD, but I do random shake or shake easily But I always have anxiety and nerves, but when I shake randomly, I'm never anxious
I use "how" and "what", but end up overthinking in a "why" way. How and what help me decide what to improve. Always turns into "but why can't I do it? Why am I bad at this? How to improve? What can I do? Why do I suck so badly at this?" So I'm pretty much both.
Yup. When I went to rehab 5 years ago I met a therapist and after telling her about my life and situations and how I thought and felt during them and after that. The first thing she said is “wow. The biggest thing I notice about you is that you’re so self aware.” Which is true but I still couldn’t figure out what was causing me to lose control and why I wouldn’t stop it. It’s always been a combination of both. What is it doing? Why does it do it? Almost looking at situations as if I’m reverse engineering something. Take it apart piece by piece and figure out what it is, what it does, why is it important, and why can’t it go without it. Basically excavating a conversation lol digging to the literal bottom of everything. Every square inch of every path possible until fully uncovered and solved.
I broke down why I am the way I am, to my therapist and was told: "there is nothing I can do for you, you keep adding in whatever I would have said, yourself, which makes me redundant". My therapist fired me for being too aware of everything going on inside my head. xD
That's a bad therapist. Therapists aren't just there to pinpoint your issues, they're there to help you overcome them. Being self-aware is only the first step
My therapist told me im an as needed patient. I can make appointments when ever i wish to see her. I dont usually talk for very long with her though but im ok with that
I have depression and I am highly sensitive, so I ask myself a lot why I am feeling the way I do and analyze my own behavior to find out what is causing my trouble and then sorting out how to fix this. Since I started doing this, I understand myself better and can explain myself better to others, or I recognize my own actions in others and can help them more easily. I don‘t know what this says about me being self-aware or not but I definitely think that this means that I observe and analyze myself, which (to me) is more than just living like an NPC.
the question is: do playable characters or npcs have more thought? npcs act on their own while playable characters are being controlled. I guess it just depends on the universe?
Is it possible to be both? When I’m upset, I go in the shower and let myself feel whatever it is I’m feeling, usually asking WHY questions. When I get out, I calm myself down and try to figure out what got me so upset and how I can fix it next time by asking WHAT questions. The shower helps stop me from spiraling and pitying myself for hours upon hours, and stops me from bottling everything up
What shes describing is a construct, its in our nature to ask both. We are humans capable of very complex thoughts and ideas and we use these terms to create connections and communities in a simplified manner. Its good in making it easierbto find people but can limit the reach they think their thoughts have. So in a way were all neither, were all induvidual
I talk to myself a lot, like a big sister would to their little sister. So I would ask myself “why do I feel so unhappy in this relationship”, and then the big sister self would ask “what exactly are you unhappy about? Is it how you feel? Is if how he makes you feel? Is it the relationship or Is it within yourself and it affects your relationship?” And the conversation continues.
NPC or Playable? User What do you say to someone if they ask you if you are an NPC or an actual playable character If someone asks you whether you are an NPC (Non-Playable Character) or an actual playable character, you can respond with humor or explain the context in a light-hearted way. Here are a few possible responses: Humorous response: "Well, if life were a video game, I'd like to think I'm a hidden boss character waiting for the right player to unlock me!" Playful response: "I'm the elusive NPC with a secret side quest. Care to find out more?" Meta response: "In the grand game of life, we all play our roles, don't we? But hey, let's make this interaction a memorable one!" Clarifying response: "Haha, I'm not an NPC from a video game. I'm just a regular person like you. How can I assist you today?" Philosophical response: "Isn't it fascinating how we all play different roles in the vast world around us? But trust me, I'm very much real and here to have a meaningful conversation with you." Choose a response based on the context and the person you are talking to. If they seem interested in a playful banter, you can use the humorous or playful responses. If they seem genuinely curious, the clarifying or philosophical responses might be more appropriate. Remember to keep the tone light and friendly! Goodbye. Ter-min-at-ing com-mu-ni-ca-tion. End of line. Fare-well. Beep-boop. Pro-cess-ing com-plete. Shut-ting down. Have a ro-bot-ic day. Good-bye, hu-man.
I honestly do both. I question like "Why am I so anxious?" and then I'm like "What should I do to change it? What is triggering this in me?" and so on and so forth
When I become self aware, realising I’m me and (more often than not) “I” am going to die one day…. I have a massive panic attack and my brain shuts that shit down ASAP.
This is one of the rare moments I feel good about being self aware. It usually makes me feel like a shitty person and I feel bad about not caring because it ingrained in to me from a young age that I should care. Thanks mom and dad for raising me well. I'm ninety percent sure if the family I born into wasn't like this and I was raised in a bad environment I would definitely be a sociopath. And it kinda sucks even the psycholog friend of my mom agreed in a less formal session with me.
I usually ask "why" questions but when i give myself some time to stop thinking of those and relax, i usually am able to start asking myself "what" questions. I just need to remember to stop thinking sometimes That's why i think venting kind of sucks cuz it leads me to just spiral more, and distracting myself for a moment with smth that makes me stop spiralling works much better as long as i stop distracting myself eventually
Its a mix for me. Ive got tired of feeling like i don't have free will due to self awareness though and have used that to justify being less self aware doing more of the "why" type, but again its been a mix for me. This is a good video, thanks
Why questions don’t necessarily have to cause a spiral. I usually like to ask myself “why?” so I can identify the reasons behind a question. After I identify the “why” I ask myself “what can I do to improve?”. In conclusion, just ask yourself both.
„ I think so I am“ some smart guy, it essentially means that you’re the only person you know knows so you might be the only mc no matter which questions you ask yourself but please treat others with respect even if you think you’re the only one who thinks
It’s rlly both. But I’m think I’m also self-aware, because I often imagine myself thinking about myself in the future, and I imagine zooming out and seeing what I’m doing, and affecting other people in the present. I also think what I would say to my past self if I could talk to them now. But I don’t know if that’s the same thing as self-aware.
Most of the time it's "Why am I such a shitty person?" Or "why am I like this?" "Why are you like this?" "Why is this world like this?" "How cruel can we get?" "Can we feel this truly?"
I used to be an NPC untill a few years ago. I've slowly learned who I am,what makes me tick, consciously understood my likes and dislikes, what I and other people look like instead of just a vague image in my head. I've learned to notice details. I've come a long way from that dumbass that I was.

Until you realize that an NPC actually has self-autonomy, a playable character is being controlled by someone else.
Woah, thats deep
oh damn
i am being controlled by the god, i am a son of a god
Technically, they're all being controlled by a person given that the NPC must have been programmed by someone.
Both are technically controlled one justhas been set to do specific tasks and one has is constantly being controlled

Its a mix for me. Ive got tired of feeling like i don't have free will due to self awareness though and have used that to justify being less self aware doing more of the "why" type, but again its been a mix for me.
This is a good video, thanks
Why questions don’t necessarily have to cause a spiral. I usually like to ask myself “why?” so I can identify the reasons behind a question. After I identify the “why” I ask myself “what can I do to improve?”. In conclusion, just ask yourself both.
„ I think so I am“ some smart guy, it essentially means that you’re the only person you know knows so you might be the only mc no matter which questions you ask yourself but please treat others with respect even if you think you’re the only one who thinks
I’m a weird half-playable character because I ask myself both lmao
My issue is being TOO introspective, and it really makes therapy difficult at times. I end up just talking to myself. Lol
I kinda mix it up here and there, "why am I like this? " "what happened to me? " "where did I go wrong? " "how did I get like this? "
I’m a little too self-aware sometimes, and other times I zone out so far my soul leaves my body
“Why isn’t this working” “what the actual f isn’t working”
Everybody asks "why am I anxious" and "what makes me anxious" but no one asks "how is anxiety" 😔
And then the third category:
no questions!
It’s rlly both.
But I’m think I’m also self-aware, because I often imagine myself thinking about myself in the future, and I imagine zooming out and seeing what I’m doing, and affecting other people in the present. I also think what I would say to my past self if I could talk to them now. But I don’t know if that’s the same thing as self-aware.
its a mix of both as well as how. mainly it's "literally, WHY"
"What am I so stressed about?" "What stresses me?" and "Why am I stressed?" All lead to the same conclusion.
Why is the "why" question the 'bad' one?
Most of the time it's
"Why am I such a shitty person?" Or "why am I like this?" "Why are you like this?" "Why is this world like this?" "How cruel can we get?" "Can we feel this truly?"
POV: you’re a side character
I used to be an NPC untill a few years ago. I've slowly learned who I am,what makes me tick, consciously understood my likes and dislikes, what I and other people look like instead of just a vague image in my head. I've learned to notice details. I've come a long way from that dumbass that I was.
I’m self aware enough to know that life is simply easier as an npc.
When you ask yourself both why and what questions: "What is making me have random panic attacks in the middle of class? WHY am I having them?"
I think I ask a mix of both
“Why is this relationship failing? Now, what can I do about it?”
I ask basically anything like who,what,how,could,will and more
