  • Are you having an Existential Crisis?! Hopefully not. Let's find out! click here: ruclips.net/user/subscription_cente... to subscribe to my channel to be told when I make a new video!
    A lot of people always ask what exactly I'm on about so I thought I SHOULD JUST EXPLAIN for once! hahah. If you are having one then I hope you find this video helpful! And if you weren't sorry if I just caused one.. ..
    So yes this in many ways concludes my 'quarter life crisis' trilogy of videos. I personally feel I've come out of the existential crisis tunnel I've been in for about a year and a half so let's see what that looks like eh? ;p
    why did this take 25 hours to write
    (also this video isn't a conclusive view on anything - it it not necessarily meant to impress or inspire, and it's certainly worse than any book or movie, but it's just a video on the internet showing what was in one person's mind at a particular point in his life where he was 'having an existential crisis'. if you don't relate to this or for any reason feel offended at my stupidity i am sorry!)
    HOPE YOUR LIVES ARE WONDERFUL INTERNET BUDDIES

      The "void" he's talking about can really be too much to embrace on your own. It's basically pressuring yourself to bear a massive load of responsibility before you're mentally equipped and emotionally secure enough to really deal with it, which is overwhelming and can make you feel very helpless. Those two feelings are closely linked to depression and anxiety.

    Dan, you have perfectly described my life.
    Teacher: Why aren't you doing your work?
    Me: the reason I haven't done this is because this piece of paper has no meaning to me and to anyone else. The things on this paper is nothing but scribbles that mankind has given some pointless meaning. This paper is given to me by the society, demanding that I waste over 12 years of my life to do nothing but sit in a room for 8 hours, 5 days a week, and be told random things by random people who have devoted their lives to wasting precious years out of someone else's life and teach them completely useless things that have been deemed important by society. Therefore you and everyone is this very room and every classroom all over the world has wasted precious seconds of their lives, doing nothing but learn useless things and watch the world around crumble slowly and fall into despair.
    Teacher: Excuse me?
    Me: Society will be the death of humanity and eventually it will choke itself out.
    Teacher: Get out.
    Me: I also realized that everything you do or say has no effect on me and I may sit here as long as I please.
    Teacher: that's it I am calling your mom.
    Me: couldn't hear you, I was too busy leaving.

      Being self aware is a pain in the ass. As soon as I realized my freedom I had a huge fight with my mom first thing in the morning every day and came to school every morning depressed and trying not to cry because I love my mom, even though she is not as self aware as I am and doesn't understand my rebellion against society. Also, why do women always have to wear shirts and bras and shit? Like if it's a really hot day I want to be able to take my damn shirt off without being stared at, judged, or arrested.

    Today me and my friend got in the topic of how you can't ever imagine death, then that went to not ever being able to imagine pain, and finally it developed into not ever being able to imagine or think back on happiness. When you try you will never feel the same happiness you felt in that moment. The thing that motivates the majority of society is something that we literally cannot imagine.

    "And have the courage to exist"
    What if we're all just figments of someone's imagination
    What if someone's pulling all the strings of our lives
    What if in 2012 the world DID end and we're all just living as wandering souls as if nothing ever happened
    What if
    No one
    Is real

    • @essahayli
      @essahayli 9 лет назад +29

      I feel like the ending of that is true
      The 2012 thing?
      Bc life is like no longer interesting and somehow every strong emotion we feel Is now somehow less
      Like example: during Christmas time it didn't feel like Christmas at all and it felt like it was just another day and the year went quick
      Like people aren't remembering 2013 or 2014 it's just skipped by like it was 2012 then out of nowhere it's 2015

But one time my teacher asked me what she just said and I repeated it word for word and all my classmates started to laugh like oh shit. But being the akward person I am I just said so I'll go to the principal's office now and the teacher said no it's fine and went back to teaching me and the rest of my douchebag classmates

    I came to re-watch this video after the Vancouver We're all Doomed show. I have recently been making changes in my life, practicing mindfulness and accepting my mental health problems as a small part of me, rather than something that defines me and controls my life. The Doomed show was truly the most liberating experience of my life so far. At the end of the show when you ended with "embrace the void and have the courage to exist" and someone yelled "We love you Dan" the whole crowd erupted and you gave us one last look that was just filled with so much emotion. I am going this week to get "embrace the void and have the courage to exist" tattooed so I can remind myself forever of the significance of that show and the first time I've felt that affirmation of my mental health and freedom from the control it had over me for so many years. I'm so happy to see you in 2022 making content that makes you happy and being such an influential mental health advocate and going around from city to city and preforming that amazingly written show. It was funny and sad and scary and liberating all at the same time. Thank you Dan, it was a truly special experience

    We're killing our planet therefore slowly killing ourselves
    Is Death actually just a deep sleep we never wake up from?

    Why do we even matter in the first place?

    This came out when I was 11 and now I am 21 and I just graduated university yesterday. Having to figure out what to do with your life when you have all the power really is just terrifying, but seeing Dan's tour last week and meeting him makes me think I'll be okay.

    I'm having an existencial crisis since I was a little child and alway got that fear to dead, like..I have to much curiosity of what's gonna happend after and what if we just stop existing and we'll be forgotten.
    I'm christian, but I also have my doubts and questions that make me think a lot.
    Someone help me.

      ***** in some ways, I find as long as I dont get lost in it, as long as it doesnt swallow me up it can be a positive thing as in it gives me the determination to strive and reach for my goals... its like I know I am an insignificant speck in the universe but dammit im going to make the most of my silly insignificant little life y'know?
