He is just paying attention and trying to understand. That is what average mental health professional looks like. I guess you met a lots of them far below average. There is plenty of advice on the internet about what to look for in mental health professional. You'll eventualy come across someone who is just like Dr. K if you keep looking.
@@Akajeyjey It's because he also has been a video game addict. So by beeing a gamer himself, he's way more qualified to get into a gamer's mind than a normal psychiatrist.
@@arielledore8868 My intention isn't to belittle Dr. K. He is very brave and the way he targeted audience that really needs help is very impressive. And I do believe he really cares. I'm only concerned about people thinking he is the only one who can help and understand them. Which would limit that person's options quite lot. There is a lots of other mental health professionals who can understand you just as well.. Being a former gamer seems to serve mostly as an icebreaker and a light house. But we gamers are basically addicts (at least that is my belief) and there is a lots of people in the field of addiction..
@Eromasin I think it's also because he specializes in gaming. Most therapists are in their 50s and have a very outdated understanding of gaming and how it transforms lives.
@@HessSR I think you'd have to go down the route of his personal practice (if you dont identify as a gamer), the healthygamer.gg concept seems to be focused on 'gamers'

“Never blew up” is so emblematic of the fact that he has the power to bring in so many people on an individual level; no bandwaggoning, no RUclips help. Just a great person
i appreciate sky being open. i hope he gained some important insights here to improve his view of himself and to get ready to make some important changes in his life. Would be great if he can find a therapist to work with him through all of this. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with so many people of protective nature of our brains. It controls a lot of unhealthy thought processes and behaviors. Its the vital root that so many of us are missing sight of.
I have been subscribed to Sky since he was at couple thousands and I have never regretted it a day Sky. Whatever you need to work through man just know that I will always wait for that next video if that is what you want to continue doing, if not that is fine, I will support you in any other direction you go.
@Ataraxia95- Regardless of the news that came out about him, I think your comment was still really wholesome. Good people do fucked up things. I won’t try and speak on whether Sky is good or not, but I will say the people talking about him like he’s Hitler are probably missing a lot of nuance to the situation.
really miss sky. for many years weve all been telling him he can just make any video of him playing games or doing whatever and it would be great content because hes so naturally funny and likable. but he just has these mental roadblocks i guess that cant let him accept that. feelstrulyawfulman. his streams were the shit when i was a college freshman staying up way too late. hope he returns one day, for real.
There are very clear moments of realizations in every single one of these interviews and when the interviewee realizes these foundational issues they have i shed a tear everytime because of how much I can relate.
I didnt even know he streamed!!! This honestly explains so much and I'm so happy you did this. I've been watching him for so long and it really does bring a tear to my eye to see him grow. Keep goin, man. Love you, Sky :)))
Hey Dr. K! I'm a gamer who's been struggling with mental health for a while. All I really want to say is thanks for doing this! You've found a great niche, kind of like the Dr. Phil for gamers (but with less sensationalism and more practicality). Keep at it, brother.
I Watch this video and my heart hangs, I'm imagining that he'd talk to Etika and it'd make a lot of lives feel better. Respect for a lot of these talks Dr. K
This is free content that will bring more views to his stream which will certainly make him more money than the cost of one theory session. Not saying it's his intention, but it's certainly a win for everyone.
@@bryangomez1887 I wouldn't underestimate how much you can make as a Harvard psychiatrist. Pretty sure he can charge easy over $400 an hour. I doubt he makes that doing this on Twitch.
He is a great guy. His ultimate message I think is to remind everyone that the mind is not the soul. That is why he is focusing on mediation, to remind everyone of that fact. The mind is a wild dog that never runs out of energy, and to keep it in line it takes 100% focus all the time. The constant fight between mind and soul does get easier but it is work. If you guys meditate long enough you will become enlightened. Enlightened is a mysterious way of saying you now completely understand that the mind and the individual are two different things. If you look at the mind as the enemy it is a quick way to find just that. When your mind wants to do something, it is just an opportunity for you to tame your mind and say no to it. Good luck all, peace and love.
I used to be similar but with stealing. I would steal something, tell myself in the moment "this is the last time, and I'll pay them back before they know its gone." "Its not enough for them to notice anyway. But this is the last time." Then I'd proceed to use up whatever I stole, and immediately go back to the feeling of needing it, feel guilty for stealing, rinse repeat. The problem was that my thought process didn't stop at the guilt. I would tell myself a story to protect myself from it. That being: "I'll pay them back" or "this is the last time". Once i stopped lying to myself, and really allowed myself to process the guilt, it became apparent that I needed to stop. that I didn't need the things I was stealing badly enough to live with the guilt. It was easier to stop after that.
I love this. There aren't a lot of channels like these (if any). It's great to see how your subscriber count is going up rapidly. I've watched quite a few video's and it feels great to understand how some core views in our mind or about ourselves are false or based on inadequate conclusions. I have no idea if watching these videos can truely help people who identify with the people in these videos, but I think you're doing a great job and I wanted to thank you for it. I hope you are and will continue to take good care of yourself, even if (and I don't doubt that there's a chance that it will happen) your youtube channel and your healthygamer program will continue to rise to high ammounts of people. It's great to see how you're fulfilling your dharma, I just hope you'll not lose your self-care with it. But hey I don't know you and all that, so you can take that with a grain of salt. Either way, thanks, oh and your facial expressions are great (especially when for example at 6:18 when you give a big smile when you realise that the other person gets to the conclusion/thought that you thought he would be having. I see this in other video's as well but it's just a great moment in interviews and I really enjoy that haha)
I used to watch Sky playing league like 6-7 years ago and it was the best time of my life. Then he suddenly disappear. But he is one of the most genuine, funny and adorable person I've ever witnessed.
100% love your content my guy, you're doing strides for the community and its good that you're working with streamers. people tend to gravitate towards people that they connect with so you may be helping countless people by proxy. you deserve a streamer award at twitch con or some shit.
Holy shit that story about his brother was fucking heartbreaking. Man Sky has seen some terrible shit. The moment where he said how bad he felt when for 2 brief seconds he actually liked it that gave me shivers cause i could picture that so well.
You're killing it really heartwarming to see you talk and help so many of my favorite content creator and people I've looked up to and consider my friends
This was great to watch. It’s clear you’re really good at what you do and I appreciated Sky’s openness and honesty. Do you ever worry that the format can lead to some ethically-dubious situations? Like Sky was able to recount that traumatic situation without actively feeling the pain of it but I wonder what would have happened if him telling his story opened things up even more. Is there an ethical duty to be mindful of what you get into considering the time constraints and the fact that you aren’t seeing him in a strictly therapeutic context? Genuinely curious. Thanks for the upload
thank you so much for doing this... all these are such beautiful conversations... and isnt easy to do... so its great to see... especially someone u have been watching since a teen...
Sky I love you no matter what. If your habits make you feel like shit, don't sweat it, don't beat yourself up, because plenty of people in the world are gonna do that for you! It is hard work, but every time you find yourself in the same place it means you haven't learned what you needed to learn from that experience. If you find yourself back in the same place after making a mistake, just imagine what your absolute best self would do. Who is the person you absolutely want to be? Imagine what the best version of you would do whenever you're faced with a challenge or whenever you feel like shit. It takes a long time before you start to see a change, but I know from experience that anyone can change things that they're unhappy with ESPECIALLY if they're in full control of themselves! You only have to do 1 thing everyday that your best self would do and choose to challenge yourself more and more everyday (2 things, 3 things) until they become your new habits! I related to you so heavy years ago when you'd upload league vids, I used to watch your streams all the time until life hit me hard. You made me laugh and forget about my problems! You have to believe in yourself more Sky!--Don't call yourself trash. Keep lifting yourself up! Being nice to yourself doesn't mean you're condoning or enabling your own toxic behaviors! It means you don't define who you are by your mistakes! It means you believe that you can do better and you have the power to be better, because it makes you feel better instead of like shit! You can get better, but you absolutely MUST believe you're more than trash! You ARE NOT trash! Love up on yourself Sky no matter what! And also extend the love you give yourself to others no matter what! --Judge others less harshly, because that will help you treat yourself better too! Choose to define yourself by your intentions and try your best in intending to do right by others, because clearly doing the opposite and hurting people who love you and care about you makes you feel bad. Choose to do what makes you feel good--You can do it! You gave me the best laughs I ever had in this community--I'm literally gonna binge watch all your videos again, because I missed the fuck outta you, dude (I started a family and lost sight of my hobbies, so I fell off anything gaming related for a brick!) You helped me enjoy the League community more, you helped me connect with my friends in ways I couldn't before! You helped me understand what the world can be like for gay, black men! You are my favorite League of Legends personality and and with this interview, you've helped me remember the importance of self love and willpower! I hope to god you understand just how amazing you are--that even with toxic habits you have complete power over yourself, and that YOU are not your mistakes. With a vision for who you want to be and the will to act on that vision, You can change anything about yourself! I know this is a mouthful--I feel a lot and this video really resonates... I come from a place of ALL love when I type this, and I wish you the absolute best! I love you so much Sky.
I finished up my bachelors in psych a few months ago and now work on the research side of it. I'm nerding out on this so fucking hard because it's like art to me. This is so well done and so tangible in this ugly mess of umbrella content targeted at people who need help that just gets it so wrong so often. I really enjoy what you're doing here Dr. K
I loved this one because it's the only thing I found that resonates with me. 3 years in totally unexplained depression. I feel like I'm unfixable too but I'm unable to find my root while I am trying so hard with therapy, started with college, exercise, medication and meditating. The only thing I can do is cope, barely. @HealthyGamerGG Any chance I can book a session with you? I'm more than happy to pay for a chance to become better. If not, no hard feelings. I'm really thankful for what you're doing!
Sky has always been one of my favorite content creators and I relate to the ups and downs of life. I just really hope to see him flourish and feel good about himself. Hopefully we can get some fresh and amazing content soon!!
@@fourlitre3213 It's not really that he's being a boomer but more that when different people use somewhat general phrases like that they can mean somewhat different things without the listener realizing exactly what they mean so he likes to clarify to make sure he's not misunderstanding.
Apathy is really common in ppl who struggle to live up to their own expectations. You have to hit rock bottom of loneliness before your brain forces you to be actively and constructively empathetic.
@@themanwiththebeard4632 Yeah idk what to tell you. Open up to someone about anything really, meditate on psychological issues... take a walk with your worst self and try not to burry what makes you most uncomfortable
Prime example of what kind of a sentimental world view mentally abusive parents mold their kids to hold. Infinite props to Sky for what an awesome figure he's become after all this shit man.
I needed this so bad today Dr K. I was on the brink of hurting myself and this helped me make a small shift. Does it solve everything? no. Am i still susceptible to hurting myself... yes. I'm going to see if i can get a week off of work and get a therapist that works remotely. Thank you thank you thank you
I related to this a lot. Still watch Sky's videos every night before bed. I hope everyone feeling any of the things discussed in this video becomes the best person they can be.
Does the way that you talk to these content creator in any way resemble the way your father spoke to you when he sent you to India? In your interview with Reckful i remember you said that you and your father "problem-solving conversation" and these interviews kinda give me that vibe.
I've loved Sky for a a long time now and I'm really happy that he's working through some of the issues he's had in his life. I just wanna see him happy!
Oh man, I have followed Sky for so long. I still watch a message to the depressed all the time. I wish I could tell him how much he impacted my life when I was in a dark place and inspired me to keep going even when I was failing so hard. Even when he leaves for a long time I'm always happy to see him come back.
hearing sky talk about all this stuff totally makes sense. I've definitely been able to pin point each thing he talked about and can remember him talking about it. Also when he talked about Leah and Dunkey it broke my damn heart, especially when Doc described "repair" as grieve and move on because I know Sky would do anything to be on good terms with her. Just... I'm really sad that Sky has always been aware of every issue he has, but hasn't been able to put it all together and start mending everything. I will be at Sky's side until he gives up. But I know he won't. I just wish there was a better way for us to let him know the genuine feelings we have for him and his situation. Like damn man we been hearing about this stuff for years and we are invested into whatever he bring to us, content or life. I'll stop rambling. That Leah moment got me emotional Edit: Also the moment that really jumped out to me was when Sky heard that he couldn't just laugh everything off anymore/ not everything can be made into a joke and forgotten. That was one of the few times that I have ever seen Sky just genuinely shook.
Hey Doc. I sense that the shadow in his mind is that he doesn't want to be like his brother and he is slowly becoming like him through all the repeated disappointments. He mentioned how they were inseparable and partners in crime and has come to this fundamental realisation that because he has no empathy and is okay with his toxicity, that his brother would be too. Sky is a different person and far kinder. I do hope he tackles his demons and becomes the best he can be.

It’s part of the deal …
Sky's honestly incredibly lucky it took so long for him to get cancelled -- I remember seeing him comment on just about EVERY piece of internet drama over the past decade. Always smugly inserting his two cents or laughing about someone getting their career taken away. Let it be a lesson to people who think it's cool to self-insert into everyone else's business. The bell eventually tolls for thee.
Honestly I have to agree. I used to really like his videos but there was always something off about him for me. Self centered, but in a negative way, too intensely. But ultimately there was nothing explicit going on and he was just a guy I watched on youtube and twitch occasionally. Now, I'm still not trying to impair absolute judgment or anything, but I'm not surprised at all that there's this much dirt behind his past. Without speaking of morality and good and bad, I had always thought Sky was a very troubled, emotionally unstable person. Now that strong impression is confirmed. I wish anyone involved in the "Sky Houses" drama, including him, well.
5:24 Lol! Every therapist that I went to reacted like this when I spoke to them about certain stuff at some point :D It's almost as if they were annoyed or frustrated with me..
Nah, to me that gesture feels like, "Oh I have your number now, I SEE whats wrong and i know how to fix it, let me just gather my thoughts so i can present it in a way that is understandable to you and we can build up from." I feel you should bring up the annoyed and disappointing part with your therapist because that could be a sign of how you were treated or you generally feel like a nuisance to other people( or your self image), so now you project the same feeling when you see someone expressing that particular body language.
Wow his example of getting to 900k by uploading weekly and thinking he was just mediocre hurt lol. I been uploading weekly for a year, and I'm more than happy with my current subs and the steady grow.. perspective is huge when it comes to mental health I feel..
man, having no prior knowledge about Sky this conversation really throws some curveballs. interesting parralel between sky paying his roommates to live with him and seeing this as a negative stagnating thing for them, and skys viewers paying him (to do a negative stagnating thing? or just to petetuate a cycle that leaves enough viewers dissapointed to sustain skys initial narrative). its strange to me that those relationships are viewed like that - supporting somebody is a positive action, being supported is a positive experience. sure - in both cases there are room for improvement - more consistent content and greater personal growth, but i would disagree with viewing the experiences as wholly negative just because they are not perfect. its all too easy to pick flaws, people want perfection and usually any perceived perfection is a result of lacking information.
I'm not finished watching yet but i still don't get WHY sky doesn't understand why all of us fans believe in him. Dude is funny as fuck when he's just being regular. I like him as an entertainer. He has his flaws like everyone else. Been watching him for years and people always love the goofy shit he posts (Besides all the twitter drama but that's just what he likes do participate in so /shrug.) I just want this man to bounce back mentally. We'll support the man until he gets his shit together just like these other content creators who are struggling. 1.6k viewers on twitch is PHENOMENAL for a streamer who goes live like twice a month. I wish he could just be more consistent and grow his shit again. He definitely can. GTA RP maybe? Also Idc that he's supporting his friends, we just want him to reach a happier place in life. (I discovered this content from the reckful btw. It's very helpful)
Never keep a diary, ppl. Unless you live alone and even so, lock it up in a safe if you must have one. Someone will read it just like happened to this guy's sister.

Is there an ethical duty to be mindful of what you get into considering the time constraints and the fact that you aren’t seeing him in a strictly therapeutic context? Genuinely curious. Thanks for the upload
this dude is legit one of the most charismatic persons ive ever seen, these videos are so good
17:25 that smile was so endearing, and what he's saying is so true.
I really hope Sky realizes how good so much of what he says and does is.
thank you so much for doing this... all these are such beautiful conversations... and isnt easy to do... so its great to see... especially someone u have been watching since a teen...
Sky I love you no matter what. If your habits make you feel like shit, don't sweat it, don't beat yourself up, because plenty of people in the world are gonna do that for you!
It is hard work, but every time you find yourself in the same place it means you haven't learned what you needed to learn from that experience.
If you find yourself back in the same place after making a mistake, just imagine what your absolute best self would do.
Who is the person you absolutely want to be? Imagine what the best version of you would do whenever you're faced with a challenge or whenever you feel like shit.
It takes a long time before you start to see a change, but I know from experience that anyone can change things that they're unhappy with ESPECIALLY if they're in full control of themselves! You only have to do 1 thing everyday that your best self would do and choose to challenge yourself more and more everyday (2 things, 3 things) until they become your new habits!
I related to you so heavy years ago when you'd upload league vids, I used to watch your streams all the time until life hit me hard. You made me laugh and forget about my problems! You have to believe in yourself more Sky!--Don't call yourself trash.
Keep lifting yourself up! Being nice to yourself doesn't mean you're condoning or enabling your own toxic behaviors! It means you don't define who you are by your mistakes! It means you believe that you can do better and you have the power to be better, because it makes you feel better instead of like shit!
You can get better, but you absolutely MUST believe you're more than trash! You ARE NOT trash! Love up on yourself Sky no matter what! And also extend the love you give yourself to others no matter what! --Judge others less harshly, because that will help you treat yourself better too!
Choose to define yourself by your intentions and try your best in intending to do right by others, because clearly doing the opposite and hurting people who love you and care about you makes you feel bad. Choose to do what makes you feel good--You can do it!
You gave me the best laughs I ever had in this community--I'm literally gonna binge watch all your videos again, because I missed the fuck outta you, dude (I started a family and lost sight of my hobbies, so I fell off anything gaming related for a brick!)
You helped me enjoy the League community more, you helped me connect with my friends in ways I couldn't before! You helped me understand what the world can be like for gay, black men! You are my favorite League of Legends personality and and with this interview, you've helped me remember the importance of self love and willpower!
I hope to god you understand just how amazing you are--that even with toxic habits you have complete power over yourself, and that YOU are not your mistakes. With a vision for who you want to be and the will to act on that vision, You can change anything about yourself!
I know this is a mouthful--I feel a lot and this video really resonates... I come from a place of ALL love when I type this, and I wish you the absolute best!
I love you so much Sky.
I finished up my bachelors in psych a few months ago and now work on the research side of it. I'm nerding out on this so fucking hard because it's like art to me. This is so well done and so tangible in this ugly mess of umbrella content targeted at people who need help that just gets it so wrong so often. I really enjoy what you're doing here Dr. K
I hope we will see Gross Gore on here soon.
TSM Wukong ur finally back we need a new tsm death compilation
Nah, gross gore will make him cry!
That needs to happen. Legit gross gore was looking for exactly this to fix his career
he has had one too many chances he's an idiot.
oi mate gross gore mate
I hope sky and dunkey can repair their friendship
what happened? I wasn't aware they weren't friends
yourmom watch the video lol
going to be hard after dunkey beat sky in smash...
@@wishi6616 dude c'mon man, dunkey beat sky in smash, dude
Keep saying it
i think theres something else wrong with sky
you checked the news last few days? o-o
@@MokuTom Do y'all think he directly abused anyone? esp minors? I've never watched him before so idk about this whole mess.
@@lissie3669 well when he as a rape victim, decided not to have any empathy for a 15 y/o being assaulted...he may as well have
I'm from the future its all true
nah you’ve got to watch techninals new video
I loved this one because it's the only thing I found that resonates with me. 3 years in totally unexplained depression. I feel like I'm unfixable too but I'm unable to find my root while I am trying so hard with therapy, started with college, exercise, medication and meditating. The only thing I can do is cope, barely.
@HealthyGamerGG Any chance I can book a session with you? I'm more than happy to pay for a chance to become better.
If not, no hard feelings. I'm really thankful for what you're doing!
I read in the comments above that you can apply to have an interview on his site.
15:30 "yeah that's what I knew I was a semen demon" lmao that shocked a laugh out of me 🤣💀
Sky has always been one of my favorite content creators and I relate to the ups and downs of life. I just really hope to see him flourish and feel good about himself. Hopefully we can get some fresh and amazing content soon!!
Thank You Sky Williams, that somehow given me hope, cuz im like 25 and i already think its "too late".
Sirgan S too late? You’ll always be critiqued/ critized no matter what you do! So go do things that you want to do :)
it's never too late. always a way forward. but sometimes it means letting go of things in the past
Imagine downvoting something like this. You probably need to talk to dr k
for me is too hard to hear sky for too long
he can say millions words and actually not say anything meaningful
@@Adam-jn7nc That's not a vlaid reason to dislike.This isn't supposed to be an audiobook.It's not easy to put how u feel into words.

@@fourlitre3213 It's not really that he's being a boomer but more that when different people use somewhat general phrases like that they can mean somewhat different things without the listener realizing exactly what they mean so he likes to clarify to make sure he's not misunderstanding.
I wish Etika could have spoken with you brother. Keep up the fantastic work. Very entertaining and enlightening
Apathy is really common in ppl who struggle to live up to their own expectations. You have to hit rock bottom of loneliness before your brain forces you to be actively and constructively empathetic.
I can relate to that, im currently very apathetic
@@themanwiththebeard4632 Yeah idk what to tell you. Open up to someone about anything really, meditate on psychological issues... take a walk with your worst self and try not to burry what makes you most uncomfortable
Prime example of what kind of a sentimental world view mentally abusive parents mold their kids to hold. Infinite props to Sky for what an awesome figure he's become after all this shit man.
I personally think that many people can benefit from "just chatting on twitch". No matter who they are and how they feel.
I find so much in common with these interviews. Im going to try and do some meditation.
I needed this so bad today Dr K. I was on the brink of hurting myself and this helped me make a small shift. Does it solve everything? no. Am i still susceptible to hurting myself... yes. I'm going to see if i can get a week off of work and get a therapist that works remotely. Thank you thank you thank you
good luck to you brother. 2 months later i hope you're in a better place or still fighting the fight to get better! im with you man, keep going!
I love this trend of interviewing RUclipsrs/Streamers, it's going to open up a lot of people to therapy/mental health.
These Dr. K Interviews are hands down, THE BEST videos on RUclips. God bless you, Dr. K.
This man buys pink wards
Liam Pett I think they red wards now bro
@@stevensasy12345 they are called control wards.
@@FirebladeXXL God it's really been that long, I still thought they were called pink wards too...
I related to this a lot.
Still watch Sky's videos every night before bed. I hope everyone feeling
any of the things discussed in this video becomes the best person they can be.
This is a great video. Subbed. I genuinely appreciate the level of psychology in this video.
Great work again!
I would love to hear you talking to Destiny. I think that would be really interesting!
EDIT: Also great job Sky, really brave!
A talk with Destiny could get pretty frustrating, if he tries to argue about everything

This was foreshadowing....
remember kids, this is not therapy. except it kinda really is, because dr. k. asks all the right questions.
Man this reminds me of that time Dunkey beat Sky in Smash
Does the way that you talk to these content creator in any way resemble the way your father spoke to you when he sent you to India? In your interview with Reckful i remember you said that you and your father "problem-solving conversation" and these interviews kinda give me that vibe.
Don't be trying to psycho-analyze a psycho-analyzer xd
Lets just be honest here, Dr K is the best therapist yall ever witnessed and we're all blessed to witness this in our lifetime.
I've loved Sky for a a long time now and I'm really happy that he's working through some of the issues he's had in his life. I just wanna see him happy!
Who is sky
@@ashtonduda9971 the second guy in the video
This aged way better than expected, and not for the reasons I expected.
I hope for his sake and everyone else's that he can get the help he needs.
I cannot even fathom what this man went through and the pain it's caused.
Wow, I totally get why Sky is so negative towards his brother. That story was fucking heartbreaking man.
Oh man, I have followed Sky for so long. I still watch a message to the depressed all the time. I wish I could tell him how much he impacted my life when I was in a dark place and inspired me to keep going even when I was failing so hard. Even when he leaves for a long time I'm always happy to see him come back.
Oof
there's a lesson to be learnt here somewhere... not quite sure what it is tho
this comment didn't age well AT ALL.
I might get addicted to these interviews *__*
hearing sky talk about all this stuff totally makes sense. I've definitely been able to pin point each thing he talked about and can remember him talking about it. Also when he talked about Leah and Dunkey it broke my damn heart, especially when Doc described "repair" as grieve and move on because I know Sky would do anything to be on good terms with her. Just... I'm really sad that Sky has always been aware of every issue he has, but hasn't been able to put it all together and start mending everything. I will be at Sky's side until he gives up. But I know he won't. I just wish there was a better way for us to let him know the genuine feelings we have for him and his situation. Like damn man we been hearing about this stuff for years and we are invested into whatever he bring to us, content or life. I'll stop rambling. That Leah moment got me emotional
Edit: Also the moment that really jumped out to me was when Sky heard that he couldn't just laugh everything off anymore/ not everything can be made into a joke and forgotten. That was one of the few times that I have ever seen Sky just genuinely shook.
When does he talk about dunkey and Leah?
Hey Doc. I sense that the shadow in his mind is that he doesn't want to be like his brother and he is slowly becoming like him through all the repeated disappointments.
He mentioned how they were inseparable and partners in crime and has come to this fundamental realisation that because he has no empathy and is okay with his toxicity, that his brother would be too.
Sky is a different person and far kinder. I do hope he tackles his demons and becomes the best he can be.
> I was in various businesses in NYC, and the fact of the matter is- everybody wants to get to know you if you have connections. This is the way business works.
> In my case, people offered me various gifts & tokens & what appeared to be warm friendship..
> It is only when I left the business/s and the gifts & ‘friends’ fell away - that I woke up out of the dream world. 👀
> At first, I was very ashamed & disillusioned… But then, I realize that this happens everywhere/,All over the world 👋🏼/ It’s like you tip the door man at a club, or you give an envelope to the concierge at a hotel, etc. etc. - This is a standard in all business - nothing to be shocked or ashamed about. It’s part of the deal …
Sky's honestly incredibly lucky it took so long for him to get cancelled -- I remember seeing him comment on just about EVERY piece of internet drama over the past decade. Always smugly inserting his two cents or laughing about someone getting their career taken away.
Let it be a lesson to people who think it's cool to self-insert into everyone else's business. The bell eventually tolls for thee.
CANCEL CULTURE IS RETARDED but fuck sky
Honestly I have to agree. I used to really like his videos but there was always something off about him for me. Self centered, but in a negative way, too intensely. But ultimately there was nothing explicit going on and he was just a guy I watched on youtube and twitch occasionally. Now, I'm still not trying to impair absolute judgment or anything, but I'm not surprised at all that there's this much dirt behind his past. Without speaking of morality and good and bad, I had always thought Sky was a very troubled, emotionally unstable person. Now that strong impression is confirmed. I wish anyone involved in the "Sky Houses" drama, including him, well.
5:24 Lol! Every therapist that I went to reacted like this when I spoke to them about certain stuff at some point :D It's almost as if they were annoyed or frustrated with me..
Nah, to me that gesture feels like, "Oh I have your number now, I SEE whats wrong and i know how to fix it, let me just gather my thoughts so i can present it in a way that is understandable to you and we can build up from." I feel you should bring up the annoyed and disappointing part with your therapist because that could be a sign of how you were treated or you generally feel like a nuisance to other people( or your self image), so now you project the same feeling when you see someone expressing that particular body language.
That whole pink ward analogy is fucking genius, i love it, like that hit me so clear.
Getting large as you deserve. Keep doing your great work
That's crazy how a brother can do something like that
Single handedly saving the twitch platform
Wow his example of getting to 900k by uploading weekly and thinking he was just mediocre hurt lol. I been uploading weekly for a year, and I'm more than happy with my current subs and the steady grow.. perspective is huge when it comes to mental health I feel..
Dr K is soo pleasant to watch. Are you gonna watch ESL LA for dota live? if so i hope you see my sign
Watching this NOW is a mood.
Wow, this one was incredible. Sky is an interesting person for sure.
man, having no prior knowledge about Sky this conversation really throws some curveballs.
interesting parralel between sky paying his roommates to live with him and seeing this as a negative stagnating thing for them, and skys viewers paying him (to do a negative stagnating thing? or just to petetuate a cycle that leaves enough viewers dissapointed to sustain skys initial narrative).
its strange to me that those relationships are viewed like that - supporting somebody is a positive action, being supported is a positive experience.
sure - in both cases there are room for improvement - more consistent content and greater personal growth, but i would disagree with viewing the experiences as wholly negative just because they are not perfect. its all too easy to pick flaws, people want perfection and usually any perceived perfection is a result of lacking information.
CUBS in 2019, we love you Shy guy!!!!
i would love to see a podcast between you and jordan peterson
Holy fuck Sky is charming as fuck... And I say this as a straight dude. He is just a person you'd want to be around. I hope you he is doing better.
the fame got to you man.. same as the others in his house, what a fuckin shame
47:25 second in holy shit im still watching this.... *whipes way tear cause of total relation to skys story*
Damn this whole thing did not age well lol, the first 5 minutes explains all the drama he’s connected too
I relate to him and his mindset so much. Really interesting talk
Holy fuck his description of what his brother did to him boils my blood
Man I clicked on this thinking it said "Fixing unfixable problems with No Mans Sky". I was so confused
lol
bro listen bro.. bro.. vro... lissen vro.. bro..
Activate your Windwos, bro.
(good interview with Sky, by the way. Haven't seen him in a while.)
I'm not finished watching yet but i still don't get WHY sky doesn't understand why all of us fans believe in him. Dude is funny as fuck when he's just being regular. I like him as an entertainer. He has his flaws like everyone else. Been watching him for years and people always love the goofy shit he posts (Besides all the twitter drama but that's just what he likes do participate in so /shrug.) I just want this man to bounce back mentally. We'll support the man until he gets his shit together just like these other content creators who are struggling. 1.6k viewers on twitch is PHENOMENAL for a streamer who goes live like twice a month. I wish he could just be more consistent and grow his shit again. He definitely can. GTA RP maybe? Also Idc that he's supporting his friends, we just want him to reach a happier place in life.

Never keep a diary, ppl. Unless you live alone and even so, lock it up in a safe if you must have one. Someone will read it just like happened to this guy's sister.
