An Uncomfortable Conversation to Expand Your Mind
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Well, this is awkward ...
If you feel I've added value to your day, consider shouting me a coffee:
ko-fi.com/book...
Please share your thoughts with me in the comments!
if it expands my mind, I dont find it uncomfortable. I find it blissful
I find it is the opposite for me. It feels uncomfortable and scary.
I have grown fond of the feeling. Still wrestling with insecurity and fear, but they can not keep me stale anymore. 🔥
Whatever you are crossing, you are doing great! Keep the course
Indeed!
My new fav wuote
It's meant to be uncomfortable. You only experience the bliss after the realization that your mind has been developed. So I assume that is what you meant
It’s ok to feel uncomfortable when something challenges your beliefs too though.
I don’t typically feel blissful. Part of me really wants to because it would be a lot easier, but I try to remind myself that that’s not my goal personally.
My goal is to recognize my feelings, be curious and open, and to process them, even when they’re difficult. If I strive to always feel blissful no matter the situation, I will bury my unwanted feelings knowingly or unknowingly and they will wreak havoc in the background.
He low-key just thanked me for clicking on his video
Hahaha
W pfp
so instead of clicking a video that tells me how right and cool i am, i clicked a video that tells me how right and cool i am
hahaha - very true! I hope you still got some value from it 😁
but in a different way
😂😂
In a different way, in the correct way.
@@BookofJoldon not a bad message, "open your mind and learn"
lol
Taking compliments is indeed uncomfortable
Yeah good point haha
I agree😭
And it also made me consider that maybe I could be a little nicer to myself, so I guess it wasn't clickbait.
Kinda
Its scary how a short video can make you feel great in an instant.
great is not a feeling
@@Fire_Axus you know what they meant so why does it matter?
It’s interesting that my initial response when seeing the title was to mentally prepare myself to receive uncomfortable information. It can be easy to want to run from that response and reject that new information or only take in parts that apply to your current philosophy’s. I appreciate your encouragement on challenging uncomfortable thoughts and even embracing it when necessary.
Well said
It's crazier I didn't mentally prepare nothing. I just thought "I've probably seen worse" and opened it.
Me, I was just curious what it was.
@@BookofJoldonI clicked on it to get inspiration. I am inspired by people and peers around me to keep growing. I didn’t expect anything mentally challenging.
@@Infinity_gifts interesting - thanks for sharing
honestly, uncomfortable conversations are the only ones I actually discover something about myself, and it feels good to do so
your feelings are irrational
Me who clicked on the video because I saw the thumbnail say I was to scared to click on it so I had to prove it wrong like the stubborn bastard I am:
hahaha
thats also partially why i clicked on it aswell, whoops
And ladies and gentlemen | That's all that was needed.
This is sort of a breath of fresh air compared to the majority of the self-help movement on RUclips putting people down for not constantly improving. Praising people for who they are, and praising them for their determination to improve is a lot more compassionate and effective. I like this a lot
Those last 30 seconds really helped, thanks big man.
You are very welcome
I actually considered not clicking because and I quote myself " I don't wan't uncomfort". The video is really inspired me!
And yet, you pushed through that fear and clicked on it anyway! Bravery isn't the act of "not being afraid" - it's choosing to do the right thing even when you are! So bravo to you!
It makes me happy to know my video has inspired you - thank you for sharing
(I dont wanna be that person but) Discomfort *
Look at the title, it makes sense.
Besides, English has too many negative suffixes.
@@noriatalitha
Yah i feel bad for people who try to learn english when it isnt their first language@@PIZZAdayisback
honestly I'm here mostly out of curiosity, these "uncomfotable conversations" are more like brain snack for me but whenever I watch these kinda videos I think and adjust my world view if the new information seems logical, so I wouldn't say I'm great but it's nice to hear that tbh. Uncomfortable conversations are fun
"you are *awesome* " that, that was awesome
You told me all these compliments, but you know, you're a great person too.
Wow, I got a free compliment, thank you friend, I'm creating a channel for the first time after stopping being afraid of judgement, and I hope you and everyone here are successful.
Just gave ya a sub lol, all the best on ur channel!
@@Ocro555 Thank you very much my friend
I gave you a sub, I’m gonna watch your video on Perfectionism, I am a perfectionist myself.
genuinely, thank you.
you made my day, fr. I constantly challenge my beliefs, and I would say I am pretty neutral in most topics, as I find it hard to take sides... living life on the fence
Thank you for this video. I clicked on it because I'm so interested in human mind and how it works and I love experiencing new and surprising things. Lately I doubt myself a lot and I don't feel like I'm good enough so this really helped me. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing - you're very welcome
I knew it could be click bait but then i asked myself "what if it isn't click bait by chance and has something useful for me ?" So i clicked it and i am glad that it turned out to be good and not misleading
I wasnt feeling so great just about now. Relasped on a habit I wish I'd been done with already. But you decided to offer positivity and to look back on the things I've accomplished. Thank you, I needed that ❤
Bruh I was bracing myself to get shitted on just for the video to end up boosting my ego 💀
Heck yeah. Always chase the best version of you. God bless
Uncomfort is the path of Growth.
Being uncomfortable means you are growing up.
I do agree with you. It just seems to me that a lot of people refuse to grow up.
Well, I'm a sociopath so I guess this wasn't too shocking to hear. Really like what you did.
Fascinating, thanks for sharing - and thank you 🙏
I clicked this video to challenge myself. Not for someone to say " I'm gonna hype you up. " Bye bye.
I dont know when but...
one day i just realized the bad things i was doing to others and myself.. and i just have to accept that they were bad and i have done them and i have to fix them( bad habits, bad behaviors, bad thoughts)
But.. untill now i just couldn't fix them all.. i couldn't say i need help...
I always felt i was a bad person and the guilt was really exhausting that i couldn't even do anything positive..
All i wanna say is.. i really needed somebody to say this to me...
Because i really feel im a bad person and i cant be a good person and im always scared to see the day that i do something wrong..
Thank you so much i really needed this..🎉❤❤❤🎊
Thanks man, I was not expecting the video to be greater than what I expected it to be 👍
Thanks for making this video. Keep spreading positive messages. This world needs it.
This is the best ad for a channel I’ve ever seen
Enough expansive, I'm satisfied with the product
You made me cry with these words 😭 I never expected this video to turn into something like this… it reminded me to appreciate myself,which I forgot to do so. thanks buddy ❤
I came here to hear what I want; mental challenge.
Instead of direct mental challenge, I got the realization that I don't know how to respond to positive affirmation.
I learned.
Wow - great reflection!
Man I really needed this. You are fucking awesome my dude.
Glad to be awake at 2 am
*"YOU CLICKED ON IT"* got me admitting that my dad was right
What you currently know is like a lamp, illuminating one space in an endless void. Everything you can learn is outside of the illumination, but will you be brave enough to venture the darkness?
I've already taken this lesson to heart. The darkness has become my light, and the light has become my darkness.
“You are fucking brave” thanks man that got me grinning more than my birthdays ever did.
Thanks that gave me motivation to study and finish my summer homework
Thank you. I don’t think I get that enough so really thanks.
having your personal beliefs and values be rethought of from a different angle is really freshing, I was honestly expecting the goosebumps of unfamiliarity but instead got told that I did a good job so far.. thanks dude, you're real for that
Ok I was expecting some religious shit or low quality clickbait but a usefully wholesome video was the last thing I'd expect to see. Thank you Joldon, I needed this. You are fucking awesome too, have a wonderful life mate
Thank you so much I always push myself so much never realized what I have already achieved
It’s funny cause I saw the title and I immediately saw a challenge and something to overcome, only to end up being called awesome lol. Thanks for the smile
Even after this video, I still feel like a loser. Social media and basically everyone has always told us how Internet has changed our perspective and how it's frying our brain. I've learnt about cognitive biases so I try to keep learning about myself and try to overcome the boundaries.
Based on what you just described, you definitely don't sound like a loser to me - but I'm sorry you feel that way
I honestly needed to be called brave and awesome. I’ve always been known as a coward, and I’ve never really liked who I am. Nonetheless, I’ve always tried to seek self-improvement, trying to reach that perfect point, and I guess I needed this just to know that I’ve gone pretty far, and acknowledge what I’ve achieved.
my appreciation for how you've articulated this is incomprehensible, the insight applaudable.
I guess I am brave, considering the fact that I know about 2763 creepypastas despite knowing *THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS.*
I have no idea what this comment means, but I'm all for it
@@BookofJoldon
It means I was brave/stupid enough to click on a creepypasta 2763 times despite the fact that I knew that I was going to be scared afterwards.
Thank you very much^^ You're very awesome too
I didn't click on this video with the word "uncomfortable" in mind, I just wanted to find an interesting fact that could help me understand myself more or maybe even help myself in some situations. the idea is awesome tho, I kind of just found out that I overcomed my bad perception of myself... thank you!
I feel *power* bro. Damn. Thanks🦋
This is the first video I've seen from this channel. I really appropriate your speech! It's very motivating
Instantly subbed because this is about wisdom❤
I clicked on the area where the arrow pointed thinking that was the goal, but this video is sick.
I would like to add to this video. There are times where you will keep pushing yourself to keep going, that's awesome, but please look after yourself.
You may think that the next step is going to change your life whatever that step may be, just remember that there are people that love you, and wouldn't want to see you get hurt or worst of all, die.
All because you got lost in the persuit of perfection and to be the best that you can be, you end up hurting others too.
Knowing your limit is important guys. Keep grinding, stay awesome and respect yourself as much as you would respect others. ❤
Yeah - well said
I appreciate my family for sticking with me and allowing me to think for myself and not setting me up to do a societal norm. Because of that, I’m able to find passions and hobbies at a very young age that paid off very well in my late teens. I’m proud to be ahead of most my class despite getting below average grades. I always tried to expand myself beyond school spending most of my time working on my hobby and figuring out the history, math, science, and English around my hobby. I don’t care about succeeding neither do I care about others accepting me. I just want to live a life where I can express my hobby in peace without judgement of who I am.
Good for you - thanks for sharing :)
I honestly dont realize how open minded I am until I talk to/make friends with someone thats closed minded. Its so strange to see people that will NOT express understanding on an issue they dont agree with, or even weirder when theres something about themselves they dont like and seemingly always just avoid thinking about it. Of course we can all be like this sometimes, but it makes no sense to not think on these things and give them the proper respect they deserve.
A welcome surprise here. A creator beyond the norm! Approved 1000%.
I only clicked here because I saw the thumbnail as a challenge and was like wouldn't hurt if I just give this person a few seconds. I can exit at any point. I feel weird being called "brave" and "awesome" 😂
Interesting insight - thanks for sharing 😁
I saw the video and was instantly curious to know what I would learn. I assumed that it would be something I never encountered before because it's labeled as mind expanding. (also interesting to realize a fact about people in general)
Great video, thank you!
I was like ready to challenge my conative distance but instead I got this.
I do not usually comment on videos but I just want to say that I needed this today. Thank you
You are very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to share that with me. It makes me very happy to know that.
You are awesome too ❤
an uncomfortable conversation proceeds to give unconditional wisdom .....💗
I have seen enough of these videos to predict that it won't actually say something uncomfortable but, great video
my innovative ass watching this whole 1:40 minute long video on hover from main page without clicking
omg actually bro, so true
hahaha well played
I didn't wanna hear praise tho, I wanted to hear the uncomfortable conversation that would expand my view of mind
Sorry to disappoint - a lot of my other videos contain challenging concepts in them, in my opinion. If you're interested ...
@@BookofJoldon thank you, I"ll check out
We all are trying to find answers, even if it takes all our trust or beliefs
i don't know, man. just my natural curiosity clicking here and there.
There are just so many aspects of this video that wouldn't really make an 'uncomfortable' conversation even if you tried. Conversations are face-to-face, and the other person's responses are shaped by yours. Leaving a conversation isn't as easy as it is in real life than it is on a digital button.
Im literally watching this after bawling because of how low my life led me, i dont want to appreciate how far ive come
I'm so unbelievably sorry to hear that. I've been in a similar position before, and I can at least somewhat feel your pain. I hope you can at least appreciate the fact that you were wise enough and honest enough with yourself to realise this about your life. A lot of people will lie to themselves all their lives and maintain a life of misery. Your life might not deserve much appreciation at the moment. But that doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Nor does it mean you as a person do not deserve appreciation.
I'm sorry if this wasn't any help, I can just really feel your pain and wanted to offer some words of encouragement. I'm sorry again that you are hurting so much at the moment.
@@BookofJoldon Just being noticed maked me feel better, so thank you. I took a short break from everything to hang out with friends more, they always cheer me up. Im slowly getting better
The poetry in this video is unironically awesome. Instead of clicking on a video that's titled to affirm you or your beliefs, it makes you click thinking they're going to be challenged, yet then performs that very action of giving you an affirmation on the belief that you don't seek affirmation and see the world differently cause you welcomed the prospect of a challenge, and if you think about this for a moment, that actually DOES make you uncomfortable because your belief that you don't seek affirmation is challenged simply because you found that very affirmation from this video. Either this man is a genius or I'm overanalyzing this way too much😭
I'd like to think it's the former option 🤣
But thank you - your appreciation means a lot to me
We think too much and feel too little ~ Charlie Chaplin.
Thank you brother. I needed this. My faith in humanity has been restored😌
I don't know. I just thought, "alright why not?", so I clicked it.
You're just in the habit of making recklessly brave decision clearly 😉
Aww, thank you! I deliberately do that kind of thing. (Challenging society and improving myself)
It's nice getting my ego stroked every now and then
Dude made me click on this video and then told why I clicked on this video and then proceeded to apriciate me for clicking on this video.
😎
With all due respect that presupposes I already haven’t clicked on videos with Similar titles. But thanks for the compliment i kinda needed it
I clicked without hesitation and without regret!
I never closed a video so quickly
I feel a bit betrayed by watching this video, but thank you. I have received a heartbreak earlier today, but I'm doing fine.
Thanks, it's a good morning for me
criticism = improvement
i was prepared to take in something that would better me even tho i would reject it, but instead got a different insight
Maybe I clicked because I turn a blind eye to all uncomfortable things and wanted to do the same thing to this topic by watching and judging it :)
Interesting reflection - thanks for sharing
Brave? It was more like I was arrogant.
I felt nothing while clicking on this video; I doubted the title.
I was surprised after realising that it was clickbait, and I am grateful for that. I thank you for the insight.
Interesting reflection - thanks for sharing
It's not really being courageous it's just being logical. To improve is to be human. It might be my Personality type INTJ but when I have a chance to grow I take it.
I do see what you're saying, and yet it just seems like such a rare trait to me
Honestly being open minded to out there ideas is very important.
if only my parents could call me brave...
I feel your pain, but also you don't need your parents' approval to be great! Their oversight of your strengths is due to their flaws, not yours. Keep your head up King/Queen 👑
Just smiled after hearing the last line....❤😢
Man, you're awesome as well!
Thank you!
Domain expansion,
Mind expansion..
my day is made bc of u thx, the unkown is scary so find your bravery andd comfortability in knowledge
Thank you so much
I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I really have a hard time dealing with the ego. Depending on the new information, I can get really trigered. Hearing new information is like menacing the ego because it attaches opinions and beliefs to the identity. I’m certainly not perfect, but I do try my best to stay open and confront the opinions and beliefs that I share.
It tickles when I burn.
Thank you for this, I really felt that I needed this. All of us on the self-improvement journey, we absolutely need to give ourselves more credit.
At first, I put this into watch later, when it appeared the second time, I hesitated to click. I am glad I did. Thank you
heyy! this is one decision i took very recently,,, that i would accept opinions different than mine even if it makes me uncomfortable. thanks a lot for the appreciation tho, it made me feel good.
I really only clicked on this video because I saw that it was short. If it said 10 to 15 minutes long I wouldn’t have even bothered.
Well I admire your honesty
Thanks dude, and i already know i am quite brave (or i think I am)
Well normally when I see titles like these I think they could be click bait or scrary shit (i am a sucker for creepy/Morbid shit ) so I didn't expect someone telling me I am awesome!
The last part of you are f** brave hit me hard.
I didn't clicked, it automatically started
Well then your compliment has been revoked 😉
