It's not easy growing from "cute" to "handsome" Just remember "share" yourself, your skills help others (feels good) and you will start having more self respect. Deep breath, You got this ❤
All you can do is the best you can. None of us a perfect but we do the best you can. If you get knocked down, get up dust yourself off and try again. Keep changing to be the best you can be.
Hey dont stress be you ! You still young bro....be original be you no what others want you to be ok keep posting videos.... do not stress and you dont need to please everyone....keep your friends to a bunch that understand you.... God bless 🙏🎉👍👍👍👍💯🙏🙏
You’re smart, articulate and introspective. And adorable. Forgive yourself and get back out there. But be kind, don’t aim your humor at anyone other than yourself.
Malachi your being to hard on yourself, you come across as a kind young man. We all make mistakes! Don't be so hard on yourself! If you feel as though you hurt someone's feelings then apologize to them be honest and sincere about it. If they accept it then that's wonderful, but if they don't then you know that you sincerely tried, and there is really nothing else you can do. But forgive yourself. 😊😊😊
You are in a growth phase young man. Life ebbs and flows ... keep the faith, look inward at the bright spots that are your gift. Pay special attention to them, cherish them and grow. You have so much life to discover. Peace.
Consistency is one of the hardest things when you're young. You have many of the right ideas and are pointed generally in the right direction, especially with your honesty and the way you value hard work, but others can be a great distraction. You'll get better at it.
Be quick to apologize, slow to speak, part of growing up is making mistakes, but wisdom comes from reflection of those mistakes and learning from them. You certainly seem to be on the correct road! May God bless you with strength and understanding growing understanding of others and how your words affect (not only you but) their hearts souls and minds! Keep up the self reflection,and prayer it cultivates a great human being!
I've been a teacher and a professor for a long time - you are not alone in this struggle. I had a student that I called amigdala because he had no buffer. Whatever crossed his mind came out of his mouth. He was a great kid but this got in trouble all the time. we talked about it. He worked on it. and over the years he got better. I will tell you that he is now exceptionally successful young man. I am very proud of him. I have a feeling you will grow install that buffer, and find the control you were looking for.
Often, being a prankster or telling lots of jokes can be a defence mechanism to hide shyness or anxiety. Malachi, you’ve got so much going for you, you’re a lovely young man with an obvious good heart. Please don’t be so hard on yourself, take your time to find yourself. You’ve got two ears and one mouth, use them in that proportion ❤️
You're living and learning, dude. That's a good thing. Keep the workouts going to feel better about yourself. Start planning a future. Maturity will come. Its hard to do, but just learn from your mistakes. im an older man and still making mistakes. Good luck kid and keep blogging
you on the right track so don’t get off stay away from the drugs in a bad influences that’s why you’re there. Remember, I really do mean that remember who that kid is 10 years ago that help you know right from wrong that keep in place if you’re having personal problems talk to someone personal there who you can talk with I wish you the best of luck. Let me know if you got the message. Have a great day, young man, and a bright horizon. (Anything you want to be as someone who’s doing it? They’ll show you what they know, and if you can’t get the way you wanna get to go back to them they’ll help you. They will hire you. You know why because you know you’ll listen and you know your stuff.) Have a great day...
Summer Camp, & Camps in General are awesome spots to Truly Find You! Don’t hold back your thoughts & opinions; once you let them out you’ll only become stronger mentally
You seem like a smart young man, choose your jokes wisely, listen well to what others are saying, get to know them well and be respectful of others personality, feelings. Simply put just treat others the way you would like to be treated. Listen and Learn, go with the flow of the group your with and everyone should feel comfortable and relaxed around each other. In other words get to know your audience.
Firstly, I want to say I thought your vlog was a very thoughtful example of self-examination. You express yourself very articulately. Good vocabulary, good grammar, etc. That is increasingly rare in today's society. I should say, this is coming from a 65 year old "boomer", to give you an idea of my own perspective. I've not watched any of your other vlogs, as this came up as a totally random video on my RUclips recommendations page, but based upon how well you expressed yourself in this vlog, I'm now intrigued, and want to check out your other vlogs. Anyway, I just wanted to say, as far as 'feedback' is concerned, that what you are dealing with in regards to lacking a 'filter' and joking around too much, is a common thing within the process of growing up, so you should not be too harsh in judging yourself. In fact, I applaud you for realising this in yourself at such a young age. As a reminder, a bit of unsolicited advice, two golden rules to always follow, which will always produce a positive result are: 1) Be yourself! (whether that be with or without a filter) and 2) Treat others as you would want to be treated. If you can follow those two rules, you'll be okay. Frankly, my feeling is there is way too much 'self filtering' in today's society. The whole intellectual fascism of 'political correctness' and oversensitivity of 'wokeness' are ruining free discourse. Good luck with completing your 'program'.
Youre learning about yourself by these experiences. That's called maturing. Realizing there's things about yourself that you don't like is part of life in general. Everybody has things about themselves that they'd like to change. My humble suggestion is to speak to a therapist. You have lack of impulse control. A trained therapist can help you. Most of all...dont give up on yourself!
You're not alone, I haven't yet stopped doing it at nearly 50! I find that I don't realise I've been offensive / rude until just after I've left the situation where I could apologise immediately. Just be true with yourself, and follow your morals.
You are learning about humility, good effort. Everyone wants to be popular and the centre of attention on occasions, especially young men like yourself. (as most of us old guys have already done). Don't over-think about your behaviours or poor choices in the past. Just resolve to have a 'red-button' in your brain which says 'is the comment I am about to make going to hurt someone?' If the answer is 'yes', hit the red button and stop yourself. It can take practise, but you can do it. Take a breath and think. Give other people a voice too. That's really important. I'm confident that you can crack this! Love and peace.
Bro... you have a great head on your shoulders and a good heart. Trust yourself. You're going to go far in life as long as you stay true to yourself. You should be so proud of how self aware you are. Being considerate of others and showing compassion and kindness is the highest character traits one can possess and is consistently undervalued today. I hope you can change that. Keep it up. ❤
Something I wish I had known when I was a young man, and something I wish all young men and women knew, is something I learned in Clinical Psychology: Your habits, attitude, and personality become solidified because your brain's neurons stop 'growing.' Therefore, it is extremely important to eliminate all undesirable habits, traits, and flaws in your personal life by around age 21, or you will likely carry them with you for the rest of your life. According to my professor, only a severe life event can alter the way your brain is set around age 21. So, act and become the person you envision yourself to be in the future. What traits do you want to develop to carry you through the darkest times of your life? It’s key to understand that meditation practice can return some flexibility to your neurons while improving cognitive abilities and emotional control. Don’t underestimate the importance of this. Thankfully, I was in a tough infantry unit during my time in the military, and that experience gave me a dauntless attitude and deathless courage, which led to significant achievements in my life. However, given the current state of the world, I would think twice today about joining the military as a young person; you may end up sacrificing your life for questionable political aims. Anyway, I wish all of you young men and women a full and happy life.
Acquiring some self-knowledge is an accomplishment by itself. A man never made a fool of himself by keeping his mouth shut. You’re on the right track. Press on!
Don't beat yourself up. It is a lesson many of use have to learn the hard way and you are aware of it that is the first step to change. I have found that if I have even the slightest doubt about if I should say some thing or not.... I don't say it. It is easier to say nothing than to apologize & get forgiveness for what I said. Took a long time to learn that lesson, and am still learning it. Humble is a good trait. As Dale Carnegie said Speak all the good I know about people, and none of the bad.
Don’t feel so bad joking with people. When I was your age was a little upset with someone joked with me and I probably took it wrong and was talking to an older man about this. I’ll never forget what he told me to this day “ if people joke with you is because they like you. If they didn’t like you they would save their breath.” This is reverse of course but you could use that line. It helped me. Good luck and you have a thoughtful of others heart.
Better to say nothing, and be thought a fool, than to speak and prove you are one. You're at an age, Malachi, where you're still allowed to figure out who you are, and how your fit into the world. You don't have to fit neatly into any one box, so find yourself, and ignore the boxes altogether.
Hey don't beat yourself up to much. Your self analysis and wanting to begin making changes to be the man you want to be in your future is on track with emotional maturity. 👍👍👍
You are absolutely adorable. I pray that all gets better and that things work more positively for you as you mature and grow. Remember, God is with you. 🙏🏾🥰
Malachi you are just like half the people on this planet. trying to find your way, so try not to bothered by these feelings. Things will come together on their own. You are still young, this can all be expected. Love you although i don't know you.
Hey - you're back! And, if I may say, still looking great! Another interesting video. I empathise with what you are saying. I have often made the same mistake in life (sometimes with my sense of humour), saying the wrong thing and then regretting it. But it helps a lot if you are with people who understand you, and know you mean well.
I think you need to give yourself more credit. You are 100% right in your efforts but most people your age aren't even thinking in that direction yet. The fact that you have this on your mind at your age impresses me so much. You are obviously ar great kid, raised by a great family. As for the struggle, don't confuse arrogance with confidence. There is nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself. What you are striving for is the balance between confidence and humility. Instead of trying to impress others by exhibiting your strengths, focus on impressing them by helping them find their strengths and making them feel better about themselves. There is nothing wrong with jokes. Humor is a healthy sign of strength that makes others want to be around you but focus on not using people as a target for your humor..... at least not too much. As for talking less and doing more, you are 100% correct. I have found that by not talking just for the sake of talking and worrying less about keeping others entertained, it leaves more openings for others to speak and add more to the relationship. Also, when the quiet guy speaks, everyone knows he has something important to say and is worth listening to. It's about quality over quantity. Lastly, your life is a work in progress. You don't need to get everything righ the first time. Don't be afraid to experiment and make mistakes. That is how you learn and this time in your life is all about learning. And one last thing; Change the title of the video. ALWAYS respect yourself. You deserve that and as far as I can tell, you have a lot to respect. Good luck.
You’re alright young man. You have what you need to make a good life for yourself. Experiencing new emotions and new feelings about what’s important to you and what you want your life to be like in the future, is all part of growing and learning. Don’t stop. Keep an open mind and an open heart and you’ll know what’s right and what’s wrong, and how to make things happen in your life that you feel good about. “Find a woman and you’ll find love, and don’t forget son, there is someone up above”. (That’s a quote from a song.) I know it sounds corny, but it’s true. Find someone to love. But don’t rush it. Take care.
It takes alot for some people to realize their actions can have a big impact on how they’re perceived by others. Sometimes it takes going to summer camp, to open your eyes to people who may or may not have the same things in common, but by the end of camp, some people are changed. I think it’s a huge weight to carry, and coming on camera and letting it out is a huge step. Keep your head up, and I would say, think before you speak, if the vibes aren’t there don’t go for it. I’m starting to finally realize that my actions can have negative consequences, but in the end that’s the decision I made, all I can do is move forward, and if I’m given another chance to make it right, I’lol go for it! Just enjoy yourself, be the voice for those that need it. Make friends… even with the ones that maybe sit by themselves or aren’t picked in outdoor games or activities… or maybe just feel like they’re an outcast themselves…you may just find that those are the friends that will stick by you, and make you a better person!
Hey, you are talking about the things you are finding important and that is a first step to improvements. Believe in yourself that you can be the person that you want to be. Then take it upon yourself to make that happen. You are young and want to have fun and there is nothing wrong with that, just use your self-control whenever you feel you are about to do or say something you know you will later regret. Working hard is a great way to use that self-control too. Train yourself into using it well. If you follow some rules that you can make for yourself, or someone who knows you can make for you, and stick as best you can to them then you will become that person you want to be. We are allowed to make some mistakes, and we all do from time to time, some bigger than others. I don't know anything about you Malachi. Where you come from or where you are heading, today was the first time I have seen one of your videos, but listening to you and what you had to say, I then wonder what type of program you are on, why you are hundreds of miles from home for 9 months also. Is it a self awareness program or something else to do with behaviour, or maybe completely different altogether? Whatever it is though, and how far along the program you are, it sounds like you are discovering there is more to growing up and becoming a decent well-rounded man than you previously thought. Someone that can love and be loved, have a great relationship and build a life of your own. You want to learn and educate yourself. You ask for recommendations of reading material. I hope someone will give you some recommendations. I heard you say something that resonated with me which was "what would Jesus do" (WWJD). That is a very good mantra to have handy in your mind whenever you are unsure what you should do. It doesn't even matter if you are religious or not. We all know Jesus did/does what he believes is righteous. Doing good for others, showing you care and help, saying little ! Shrugging off any bad words or actions from others. I believe in you and know everyone has it within to do and be the best they can. Believe in yourself now okay and be the best. Show everyone, family, friends, relatives, the world. God bless you and stay safe 💟🙏
Hi Malachi you are thoughtful young man. Sometimes it's hard to have a filter and be mindful of others all the time I guess if you can't say something nice or constructive don't say anything. You can be silent without being perceived as being weak. Your attitude to work and accomplishment will make a strong silent type which is an attractive attribute. All the best to you💪
life is always full of struggles always be your self that you want to be and be proud of that i know its harder than to say i struggle with mental health issues and i say thing that are not me and only thing i can do is apologize and try and change that always keep you eye on your mental health i struggle with suicide you need an ear il listen
Our words that we speak will always effect somebody. Try this old test before you speak, T.H.I.N.K. T= is it true. H = is it helpful. I = is it inspiring. N = is it necessary. K = is it kind.
Hope you're feeling better. I filter myself in social situations pretty heavily, for different reasons. I'd just a little odd sometimes lol and i'll say something and then feel horribly awkward so i've gotten pretty good at filtering my comments. I do think the journey you're on is going in the right direction. We live in a world where we will encounter an endless supply of people, everyone with their own triggers. Some will call it snowflake, but i think it's important to try and respect people whenever possible.
Second video of yours that’s come through my feed. Not sure how old you are but you seem to be a thoughtful guy who already understands that life is about the journey. I’m guessing you’re college age (late teens, maybe 20). Sounds as if the camp gig was a conscious choice to step out of your comfort zone. Also sounds like you have definitely accomplished that goal. My advice comes from some Navy SEAL friends who would say that you need to narrow your focus. Get up, make your bed, and eat breakfast. The next goal is to make it to lunch. If you get to lunch, then you reset on making it to dinner. In between, do your job and keep forward focused. Once you’ve made it to dinner, your day is almost over and, no matter how the day goes, you have that made bed to get into. Celebrate the small accomplishments and the big ones will come. You’ll make friends but focus on servant leadership rather than being the life of the party. 9 weeks will go fast… and then you’re onto your next evolution. For a version of it, when you have some internet, look at Admiral Bill McRaven’s commencement speech. I wish you luck but at 18 or 19, nobody has to have it all together and be a self help guru. Enjoy every moment of the camp. I wish I could go back to those days.
Recognizing you have a problem is the first step. The best way to attract friends is by being yourself, not by being rude or crude. Listening and actually hearing what a person is saying is also helpful in socializing
It may be helpful to you to realize life never offers you anything you can't handle. Yes, it might take you to the limit of what you think you can handle, and yes, that can be very challenging, but the thing you gotta realize is this, "you got this!" The thing about any winner is they don't dwell on their failures, the learn from them, they get back up and push on through. Also, the more difficult the challenges you face in your life, it turns out most of the time, the rewards are correspondingly great. One thing I learned to do was to stop, count to 10, for example, in your head, then if it feels right to go ahead and say it, then say it. I found that many time, when I waited, the value of saying that just fades away, and you move on into the next moment by moment unfolding as the conscious observer of your own life unfolding. Presence, Clarity, Love, Compassion, if you find those things in your life unfolding, you will have created for yourself and those around you something beautiful and magnificent.
being the show off or jokester hardly makes you a bad guy, nobody is perfect. The problem is people who don't see mistakes they make and they continue making them even at the expense of others. You seem like the complete opposite where you try to learn from your mistakes we need more people like you to be honest.. You seem like an extremely kind thoughtful person.. so relax bro you be alright, the truth is people would be lucky to know you
It is worth pausing to define what the word 'joke' means to you. It can mean different things to different people. A harmless gag which makes people laugh, a bit of slapstick with perfect comic-timing; these can be positive things which lift the general mood. But ALWAYS make sure that your 'joke' doesn't involve a real-life victim. If it is actually a cruel barb which degrades the confidence of someone in your social circle, then it really doesn't pass the test as a 'joke'. Jokes are good, jibes are bad. In the right company, it is fine for a joke to be a bit edgy or risqué (eg. sexual innuendo); that is part of growing up. But make absolutely sure that it is never a derogatory put-down of one of your companions; that is cruel, not cool at all. Being a comedian is cool; being a bully is not. Don't cheerlead a pile-on at the expense of one of your peers. If there is a victim, leave it unsaid. If you have a funny one-liner or a harmless play on words which will lift the group, go for it.
Malachi, you have driven yourself into an unhealthy mindset and I really hope that what you see here in the comments is of so help and comfort. My take on this is that you seem to be an introvert my nature and you use this "black humour" to hide this. I was very much the same when I "ran away to sea" at 15. I felt like I needed to make some sort of impact, to gain the respect of others but as you have found out, it is completely counterproductive. Causing m9re issues than it hides. You have made the first and by far the bravest step by talking this out. Just hearing yourself say those things is therapy in itself. But there is work ahead; you have two ears and one mouth, that's so you can listen twice as hard as you speak. Don't just listen to what others say; hear what they mean and if youre unsure, ask. I became the Captain of a deep sea trawler at 21. Got my qualifications first time every time, because I listened. That's the best advice I was ever given and I've passed it on many times. I truly hope it helps. Old fart, old enough to be your grandfather, about 6000 miles away a d a total stranger but if I can help you I will. Just as I have many, my own sons included. Look up the theory of "SISU" it's a Suomi word, from Finland. It's a mantra worth remembering. Take care and most of all, cut yourself a break now and then. You're growing up, nobody expects you to be perfect. Just maybe learn to say some things INSIDE your head.
I have been reflecting on many the same issues, this past week. Remember Craig Ferguson said, "Hey, made myself laugh!". Cocky for the sake of greed is wicked, but a lot of creative people have to practice self filtering.
Malachi...this is my first time ever watching your RUclips video 📹 &your a great looking guy that should always stay positive. Cause from watching this video shows your a nice person in life&joking around with others is fine just find the right friends in life that will laugh &enjoy your jokes&as for finding a girl friend in life find one that enjoys your jokes&likes you for who you are in life.which is someone that cares&knows how to make others laugh.pretty much just be your self&others will see the cool 😎 person you are in life.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Being spontaneous and thinking before you speak is a delicate balancing act. I have somewhat the same problem and have said some things that years later I cringe when I think about it. And then there is the filterless presidential candidate, which works if you don't have a conscience.
we all live and learn lessons, people understand horsing/joking around , maybe you understand how to not take it to far now, your aware- keep the faith/pray, your not a bad guy, you have a conscience & it works PEACE MR
If you find yourself not making much progress with this through control, it might be helpful to journey inward a bit to explore what it is inside you that's pushing this kind of behavior. Some things to meditate on: You've observed that the joking may result in others feeling hurt and distancing themselves from you, so ask yourself "why would I want to keep people away? Is it maybe a defensive move to protect myself? If so, from what? Judgment? Rejection? What is it about me that I don't want people to know or see?" Try to stay focused on the motivation and purpose of the joking. Keep exploring yourself. I think the journaling (video or even just writing) will be a huge help.
So we’re adults now… and what intelligent adults do is become introspective and make changes throughout adulthood. You’re an intelligent young dude and I’m a 68 year old fart still and always faced with the same introspective questions. Keep up the good work. !
Focus all your energy, that you apparently have, to flip the coin over and become an avid listener. You don't learn anything by talking, you only learn by listening.
Hey Malachi. Excellent vids. I work for a radio station which focuses on mental health. Any chance of you doing some inspirational audio clips that we can put out in between the tunes.
My friend, the beginning of a filter is Kindness above humor, speak the Truth in Love not judgement. Those you've hurt, go apologize, heal the relationship, undo the hurt. Seek positive humor. What would Jesus do? The opposite of arrogance. He washed the disciple's feet. Let praise of you come from others not your own lips. Stop kicking yourself for the past, ask forgiveness and move forward. Look for something to Love in those who are mocked or pushed to the fringe. Pray for others quietly, maybe during gym workouts. Be an encourager. Do not hold on to shame or dish out shame. Forgiveness breaks the bonds of guilt and shame. Take care.
Life is self discovery bro, the fact that you recognise your fault’s means you care and you’re deeper then you feel right now, and not as shallow as you fear, don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re young and it’s important to be you too, it gets better and you get wiser, honest 👍🏼
Recommend comedy improv workshops. Hone your knack for comedy with like minded people. My daughter attended a week long Second City improv group for young people a few years back. It was a great experience.
Hey man; the best advice I finally just start taking is Love yourself. It starts there. Respect yourself and be true yourself. That’s when things will start to really click. And for me; I give all glory to God. Everything I have and everything I am is because of the mercy and the Love of Jesus my Lord & savior. If you come to know God; you will know peace 🙏🏾 Peace & Blessings upon you
The easiest thing we can do that is pleasing to God is how we treat other people! The older you get, you will understand that people respond best to kindness, being concerned about their lives, and having a goal to be geniune to all you meet and leaving them wanting to spend more time with you, because of your encouragement and sincere concerns for other people! Your awareness is great at your age!🙏♥️🔥
Along with the “speak less” you should remember to “listen more” that will help you understand more about people in general and specifically your friends. We ALL need a filter!
only you have that power to respect youself. if you can't respect what you do then change your behavior. you're in control of what you choose to do. others may try to force things upon you, but in the end, it is ultimately your choice. if you don't respect yourself, then don't expect others to.
You're young and will double guess yourself a lot in life. Hey guess what, it's healthy to do it. Means you're growing inside. Learning by it will help you evolve as you get older. Make mistakes, but learn by them. I'm 69 and haveade many myself. At least you recognize your failures and weaknesses. That's the important thing.
I'm kind of embarrassed to say - I can totally relate. No filters, none whatsoever! :( I do think you're on the right path - you got it right - on your way to becoming a man, I guess a lot of filtering out must be done! :(
You made a great list, you might want to add just listening . the best way is to soak up things like a sponge. Try reading people before saying jokes or sarcastic things. Theirs nothing wrong w being yourself, we all learn from our mistakes.Chin up
You shoud go as a mad scientist with a pet rat on your shoulder. It will win you babes and first prize for the best costume. And remember, Halloween is happy.
The only person who can change you from doing all those things you wrote down . . is Y O U . . the man you want to be will do all those things - you just have to let him. I've gotten in trouble MANY times in my life by trying to make people laugh, but going to far to do it - just like you're saying. You can change . . . you are obviously aware of your "problem" - that is HALF the battle, right there. Many other people do the things you say you don't like doing, but they have no idea that they're going "Too Far". At least you are aware of it.
You've given yourself some good advice. Talk less, do more, I might add to that - listen. Don't just wait to hear the straight line so you can come back with the comic response. Really listen to all they are saying, and try to understand their point. People talk to get a point across. They don't put a vowel next to a consonant to shoot something. I'm very happy that you're trying. But it takes time for the filters to stay active longer and longer, and to catch a straight line that deserves a funny response. Not hateful, not pain inducing, just funny. You'll learn that over time too.
Hi Malachi, To recognize that you made hurtful comments is a solid positive step. The more you think of others and what impact your comments and speech have on others, the better person you will become. Hang in there. Suggest you read Proverbs in the Bible. Read one chapter per day if you can and when you finish, go back and read it again. God bless you kiddo. You are becoming a better version of yourself.
Man, the world has become a serious place. I admire & applaud the self-reflection here, but gee, what have we done: life for young people seems have become an endless field of broken eggshells for them to walk tentatively across.
As the rich get richer and the rest of us are poorer and our government is helpless or corrupt. With the information that is coming out about unidentified arial phenomena and the secret workings that are hidden from our highest clearance congress members, it’s no wonder so many people feel like giving up. But you can’t, you can’t lose if you don’t give up. It’s hard sometimes, very hard. But you gotta keep going, keep pushing forward.
Summer camp isn't Jonestown. Leave it as an experience and seek other social situations. No one ever finds themselves by looking. It just happens. Take a deep breath and carry on. ❤
I agree about you needing to work on a filter-i don’t think i ever had a filter -i think i always thought by me saying that joke it made me look cute cool? Well i have said some stupid things even in front of my doctor. Basically my not having that filter messed up relationships- messed up me maturing and being a grown up. I wasn’t cute-i was immature.. when you were reading your suggestions-of what you could do -instead of not talk .. change that to I will listen more. Ok -i don’t know you -i just came across your post-that’s my two cents..

It's not easy growing from "cute" to "handsome" Just remember "share" yourself, your skills help others (feels good) and you will start having more self respect. Deep breath, You got this ❤
All you can do is the best you can. None of us a perfect but we do the best you can. If you get knocked down, get up dust yourself off and try again. Keep changing to be the best you can be.
Hey dont stress be you ! You still young bro....be original be you no what others want you to be ok keep posting videos.... do not stress and you dont need to please everyone....keep your friends to a bunch that understand you.... God bless 🙏🎉👍👍👍👍💯🙏🙏
You’re smart, articulate and introspective. And adorable. Forgive yourself and get back out there. But be kind, don’t aim your humor at anyone other than yourself.
Malachi your being to hard on yourself, you come across as a kind young man. We all make mistakes! Don't be so hard on yourself! If you feel as though you hurt someone's feelings then apologize to them be honest and sincere about it. If they accept it then that's wonderful, but if they don't then you know that you sincerely tried, and there is really nothing else you can do. But forgive yourself. 😊😊😊
You are in a growth phase young man. Life ebbs and flows ... keep the faith, look inward at the bright spots that are your gift. Pay special attention to them, cherish them and grow. You have so much life to discover. Peace.
You are clearly a very likeable and thoughtful boy and over time you will solve your problems. Best of luck, keep trying. Love you.
Consistency is one of the hardest things when you're young. You have many of the right ideas and are pointed generally in the right direction, especially with your honesty and the way you value hard work, but others can be a great distraction. You'll get better at it.
There is hope as you are capable of serious self reflection and change. You’ll be fine over time.
Be quick to apologize, slow to speak, part of growing up is making mistakes, but wisdom comes from reflection of those mistakes and learning from them. You certainly seem to be on the correct road! May God bless you with strength and understanding growing understanding of others and how your words affect (not only you but) their hearts souls and minds! Keep up the self reflection,and prayer it cultivates a great human being!
I've been a teacher and a professor for a long time - you are not alone in this struggle. I had a student that I called amigdala because he had no buffer. Whatever crossed his mind came out of his mouth. He was a great kid but this got in trouble all the time. we talked about it. He worked on it. and over the years he got better. I will tell you that he is now exceptionally successful young man. I am very proud of him. I have a feeling you will grow install that buffer, and find the control you were looking for.
Often, being a prankster or telling lots of jokes can be a defence mechanism to hide shyness or anxiety. Malachi, you’ve got so much going for you, you’re a lovely young man with an obvious good heart. Please don’t be so hard on yourself, take your time to find yourself. You’ve got two ears and one mouth, use them in that proportion ❤️
You're living and learning, dude. That's a good thing. Keep the workouts going to feel better about yourself. Start planning a future. Maturity will come. Its hard to do, but just learn from your mistakes. im an older man and still making mistakes. Good luck kid and keep blogging
Stay focused on your likes. Everyone searches for their path. You're doping GREAT.
you on the right track so don’t get off stay away from the drugs in a bad influences that’s why you’re there. Remember, I really do mean that remember who that kid is 10 years ago that help you know right from wrong that keep in place if you’re having personal problems talk to someone personal there who you can talk with I wish you the best of luck. Let me know if you got the message. Have a great day, young man, and a bright horizon.
(Anything you want to be as someone who’s doing it? They’ll show you what they know, and if you can’t get the way you wanna get to go back to them they’ll help you. They will hire you. You know why because you know you’ll listen and you know your stuff.)
Have a great day...
YOU ARE A GREAT ACTOR, VIDEOS, MOVIES !
Summer Camp, & Camps in General are awesome spots to Truly Find You! Don’t hold back your thoughts & opinions; once you let them out you’ll only become stronger mentally
You seem like a smart young man, choose your jokes wisely, listen well to what others are saying, get to know them well and be respectful of others personality, feelings. Simply put just treat others the way you would like to be treated. Listen and Learn, go with the flow of the group your with and everyone should feel comfortable and relaxed around each other. In other words get to know your audience.
Firstly, I want to say I thought your vlog was a very thoughtful example of self-examination. You express yourself very articulately. Good vocabulary, good grammar, etc. That is increasingly rare in today's society. I should say, this is coming from a 65 year old "boomer", to give you an idea of my own perspective. I've not watched any of your other vlogs, as this came up as a totally random video on my RUclips recommendations page, but based upon how well you expressed yourself in this vlog, I'm now intrigued, and want to check out your other vlogs.
Anyway, I just wanted to say, as far as 'feedback' is concerned, that what you are dealing with in regards to lacking a 'filter' and joking around too much, is a common thing within the process of growing up, so you should not be too harsh in judging yourself. In fact, I applaud you for realising this in yourself at such a young age. As a reminder, a bit of unsolicited advice, two golden rules to always follow, which will always produce a positive result are: 1) Be yourself! (whether that be with or without a filter) and 2) Treat others as you would want to be treated. If you can follow those two rules, you'll be okay.
Frankly, my feeling is there is way too much 'self filtering' in today's society. The whole intellectual fascism of 'political correctness' and oversensitivity of 'wokeness' are ruining free discourse.
Good luck with completing your 'program'.
Youre learning about yourself by these experiences. That's called maturing. Realizing there's things about yourself that you don't like is part of life in general. Everybody has things about themselves that they'd like to change. My humble suggestion is to speak to a therapist. You have lack of impulse control. A trained therapist can help you. Most of all...dont give up on yourself!
You're not alone, I haven't yet stopped doing it at nearly 50! I find that I don't realise I've been offensive / rude until just after I've left the situation where I could apologise immediately. Just be true with yourself, and follow your morals.
You are learning about humility, good effort.
Everyone wants to be popular and the centre of attention on occasions, especially young men like yourself. (as most of us old guys have already done).
Don't over-think about your behaviours or poor choices in the past. Just resolve to have a 'red-button' in your brain which says 'is the comment I am about to make going to hurt someone?'
If the answer is 'yes', hit the red button and stop yourself. It can take practise, but you can do it. Take a breath and think. Give other people a voice too. That's really important.
I'm confident that you can crack this!
Love and peace.
You are a good person I support you
Bro... you have a great head on your shoulders and a good heart. Trust yourself. You're going to go far in life as long as you stay true to yourself. You should be so proud of how self aware you are. Being considerate of others and showing compassion and kindness is the highest character traits one can possess and is consistently undervalued today. I hope you can change that. Keep it up. ❤
Something I wish I had known when I was a young man, and something I wish all young men and women knew, is something I learned in Clinical Psychology: Your habits, attitude, and personality become solidified because your brain's neurons stop 'growing.' Therefore, it is extremely important to eliminate all undesirable habits, traits, and flaws in your personal life by around age 21, or you will likely carry them with you for the rest of your life. According to my professor, only a severe life event can alter the way your brain is set around age 21.
So, act and become the person you envision yourself to be in the future. What traits do you want to develop to carry you through the darkest times of your life? It’s key to understand that meditation practice can return some flexibility to your neurons while improving cognitive abilities and emotional control. Don’t underestimate the importance of this.
Thankfully, I was in a tough infantry unit during my time in the military, and that experience gave me a dauntless attitude and deathless courage, which led to significant achievements in my life. However, given the current state of the world, I would think twice today about joining the military as a young person; you may end up sacrificing your life for questionable political aims.
Anyway, I wish all of you young men and women a full and happy life.
Acquiring some self-knowledge is an accomplishment by itself. A man never made a fool of himself by keeping his mouth shut. You’re on the right track. Press on!
Don't beat yourself up. It is a lesson many of use have to learn the hard way and you are aware of it that is the first step to change. I have found that if I have even the slightest doubt about if I should say some thing or not.... I don't say it. It is easier to say nothing than to apologize & get forgiveness for what I said. Took a long time to learn that lesson, and am still learning it. Humble is a good trait. As Dale Carnegie said Speak all the good I know about people, and none of the bad.
Be kind to yourself Malachi. 🫶🏻 much love from Scotland 🏴
Don’t feel so bad joking with people. When I was your age was a little upset with someone joked with me and I probably took it wrong and was talking to an older man about this. I’ll never forget what he told me to this day “ if people joke with you is because they like you. If they didn’t like you they would save their breath.” This is reverse of course but you could use that line. It helped me. Good luck and you have a thoughtful of others heart.
No matter what you struggle with know that there are people that love you and support you.
Better to say nothing, and be thought a fool, than to speak and prove you are one.
You're at an age, Malachi, where you're still allowed to figure out who you are, and how your fit into the world. You don't have to fit neatly into any one box, so find yourself, and ignore the boxes altogether.
You are doing awesome I support you
Praying for you brother 🙏 I will say I can relate to you bro
You beautiful streamer. Don't stop speaking to us 🤩
Hey don't beat yourself up to much. Your self analysis and wanting to begin making changes to be the man you want to be in your future is on track with emotional maturity. 👍👍👍
You are absolutely adorable. I pray that all gets better and that things work more positively for you as you mature and grow. Remember, God is with you. 🙏🏾🥰
Malachi you are just like half the people on this planet. trying to find your way, so try not to bothered by these feelings. Things will come together on their own. You are still young, this can all be expected. Love you although i don't know you.
Hey - you're back! And, if I may say, still looking great! Another interesting video. I empathise with what you are saying. I have often made the same mistake in life (sometimes with my sense of humour), saying the wrong thing and then regretting it. But it helps a lot if you are with people who understand you, and know you mean well.
I think you need to give yourself more credit. You are 100% right in your efforts but most people your age aren't even thinking in that direction yet. The fact that you have this on your mind at your age impresses me so much. You are obviously ar great kid, raised by a great family. As for the struggle, don't confuse arrogance with confidence. There is nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself. What you are striving for is the balance between confidence and humility. Instead of trying to impress others by exhibiting your strengths, focus on impressing them by helping them find their strengths and making them feel better about themselves. There is nothing wrong with jokes. Humor is a healthy sign of strength that makes others want to be around you but focus on not using people as a target for your humor..... at least not too much. As for talking less and doing more, you are 100% correct. I have found that by not talking just for the sake of talking and worrying less about keeping others entertained, it leaves more openings for others to speak and add more to the relationship. Also, when the quiet guy speaks, everyone knows he has something important to say and is worth listening to. It's about quality over quantity. Lastly, your life is a work in progress. You don't need to get everything righ the first time. Don't be afraid to experiment and make mistakes. That is how you learn and this time in your life is all about learning. And one last thing; Change the title of the video. ALWAYS respect yourself. You deserve that and as far as I can tell, you have a lot to respect. Good luck.
You’re alright young man. You have what you need to make a good life for yourself. Experiencing new emotions and new feelings about what’s important to you and what you want your life to be like in the future, is all part of growing and learning. Don’t stop. Keep an open mind and an open heart and you’ll know what’s right and what’s wrong, and how to make things happen in your life that you feel good about. “Find a woman and you’ll find love, and don’t forget son, there is someone up above”. (That’s a quote from a song.) I know it sounds corny, but it’s true. Find someone to love. But don’t rush it. Take care.
It takes alot for some people to realize their actions can have a big impact on how they’re perceived by others. Sometimes it takes going to summer camp, to open your eyes to people who may or may not have the same things in common, but by the end of camp, some people are changed. I think it’s a huge weight to carry, and coming on camera and letting it out is a huge step. Keep your head up, and I would say, think before you speak, if the vibes aren’t there don’t go for it. I’m starting to finally realize that my actions can have negative consequences, but in the end that’s the decision I made, all I can do is move forward, and if I’m given another chance to make it right, I’lol go for it! Just enjoy yourself, be the voice for those that need it. Make friends… even with the ones that maybe sit by themselves or aren’t picked in outdoor games or activities… or maybe just feel like they’re an outcast themselves…you may just find that those are the friends that will stick by you, and make you a better person!
You can't be insecure unless you are selfish. Quit thinking about you. Focus on helping the people around you.
Hey, you are talking about the things you are finding important and that is a first step to improvements. Believe in yourself that you can be the person that you want to be. Then take it upon yourself to make that happen.
You are young and want to have fun and there is nothing wrong with that, just use your self-control whenever you feel you are about to do or say something you know you will later regret. Working hard is a great way to use that self-control too. Train yourself into using it well. If you follow some rules that you can make for yourself, or someone who knows you can make for you, and stick as best you can to them then you will become that person you want to be. We are allowed to make some mistakes, and we all do from time to time, some bigger than others.
I don't know anything about you Malachi. Where you come from or where you are heading, today was the first time I have seen one of your videos, but listening to you and what you had to say, I then wonder what type of program you are on, why you are hundreds of miles from home for 9 months also. Is it a self awareness program or something else to do with behaviour, or maybe completely different altogether? Whatever it is though, and how far along the program you are, it sounds like you are discovering there is more to growing up and becoming a decent well-rounded man than you previously thought. Someone that can love and be loved, have a great relationship and build a life of your own. You want to learn and educate yourself. You ask for recommendations of reading material. I hope someone will give you some recommendations.
I heard you say something that resonated with me which was "what would Jesus do" (WWJD). That is a very good mantra to have handy in your mind whenever you are unsure what you should do. It doesn't even matter if you are religious or not. We all know Jesus did/does what he believes is righteous. Doing good for others, showing you care and help, saying little ! Shrugging off any bad words or actions from others.
I believe in you and know everyone has it within to do and be the best they can. Believe in yourself now okay and be the best. Show everyone, family, friends, relatives, the world. God bless you and stay safe 💟🙏
Hey Malachi, great to see you again!
Hi Malachi you are thoughtful young man. Sometimes it's hard to have a filter and be mindful of others all the time I guess if you can't say something nice or constructive don't say anything. You can be silent without being perceived as being weak. Your attitude to work and accomplishment will make a strong silent type which is an attractive attribute. All the best to you💪
MALACHI YOU ARE SO SWEET AND AWESOME, HANG IN THERE, TRUST ME LIFE FOR YOU IS FIXING TO GET BETTER, AND KEEP INTOUCH WITH GOD AND JESUS,LOVE YOU BUDDY
life is always full of struggles always be your self that you want to be and be proud of that i know its harder than to say i struggle with mental health issues and i say thing that are not me and only thing i can do is apologize and try and change that always keep you eye on your mental health i struggle with suicide you need an ear il listen
Our words that we speak will always effect somebody. Try this old test before you speak, T.H.I.N.K. T= is it true. H = is it helpful. I = is it inspiring. N = is it necessary. K = is it kind.
Wow, this is great!
Hope you're feeling better. I filter myself in social situations pretty heavily, for different reasons. I'd just a little odd sometimes lol and i'll say something and then feel horribly awkward so i've gotten pretty good at filtering my comments. I do think the journey you're on is going in the right direction. We live in a world where we will encounter an endless supply of people, everyone with their own triggers. Some will call it snowflake, but i think it's important to try and respect people whenever possible.
Second video of yours that’s come through my feed. Not sure how old you are but you seem to be a thoughtful guy who already understands that life is about the journey. I’m guessing you’re college age (late teens, maybe 20). Sounds as if the camp gig was a conscious choice to step out of your comfort zone. Also sounds like you have definitely accomplished that goal. My advice comes from some Navy SEAL friends who would say that you need to narrow your focus. Get up, make your bed, and eat breakfast. The next goal is to make it to lunch. If you get to lunch, then you reset on making it to dinner. In between, do your job and keep forward focused. Once you’ve made it to dinner, your day is almost over and, no matter how the day goes, you have that made bed to get into. Celebrate the small accomplishments and the big ones will come. You’ll make friends but focus on servant leadership rather than being the life of the party. 9 weeks will go fast… and then you’re onto your next evolution. For a version of it, when you have some internet, look at Admiral Bill McRaven’s commencement speech. I wish you luck but at 18 or 19, nobody has to have it all together and be a self help guru. Enjoy every moment of the camp. I wish I could go back to those days.
Just remember to always be ur self
Just be yourself. You seem like a good guy
Recognizing you have a problem is the first step. The best way to attract friends is by being yourself, not by being rude or crude. Listening and actually hearing what a person is saying is also helpful in socializing
It may be helpful to you to realize life never offers you anything you can't handle. Yes, it might take you to the limit of what you think you can handle, and yes, that can be very challenging, but the thing you gotta realize is this, "you got this!" The thing about any winner is they don't dwell on their failures, the learn from them, they get back up and push on through. Also, the more difficult the challenges you face in your life, it turns out most of the time, the rewards are correspondingly great.
One thing I learned to do was to stop, count to 10, for example, in your head, then if it feels right to go ahead and say it, then say it. I found that many time, when I waited, the value of saying that just fades away, and you move on into the next moment by moment unfolding as the conscious observer of your own life unfolding. Presence, Clarity, Love, Compassion, if you find those things in your life unfolding, you will have created for yourself and those around you something beautiful and magnificent.
being the show off or jokester hardly makes you a bad guy, nobody is perfect. The problem is people who don't see mistakes they make and they continue making them even at the expense of others. You seem like the complete opposite where you try to learn from your mistakes we need more people like you to be honest.. You seem like an extremely kind thoughtful person.. so relax bro you be alright, the truth is people would be lucky to know you
It is worth pausing to define what the word 'joke' means to you. It can mean different things to different people. A harmless gag which makes people laugh, a bit of slapstick with perfect comic-timing; these can be positive things which lift the general mood. But ALWAYS make sure that your 'joke' doesn't involve a real-life victim. If it is actually a cruel barb which degrades the confidence of someone in your social circle, then it really doesn't pass the test as a 'joke'. Jokes are good, jibes are bad. In the right company, it is fine for a joke to be a bit edgy or risqué (eg. sexual innuendo); that is part of growing up. But make absolutely sure that it is never a derogatory put-down of one of your companions; that is cruel, not cool at all. Being a comedian is cool; being a bully is not. Don't cheerlead a pile-on at the expense of one of your peers. If there is a victim, leave it unsaid. If you have a funny one-liner or a harmless play on words which will lift the group, go for it.
Malachi, you have driven yourself into an unhealthy mindset and I really hope that what you see here in the comments is of so help and comfort. My take on this is that you seem to be an introvert my nature and you use this "black humour" to hide this. I was very much the same when I "ran away to sea" at 15. I felt like I needed to make some sort of impact, to gain the respect of others but as you have found out, it is completely counterproductive. Causing m9re issues than it hides. You have made the first and by far the bravest step by talking this out. Just hearing yourself say those things is therapy in itself. But there is work ahead; you have two ears and one mouth, that's so you can listen twice as hard as you speak. Don't just listen to what others say; hear what they mean and if youre unsure, ask.
I became the Captain of a deep sea trawler at 21. Got my qualifications first time every time, because I listened.
That's the best advice I was ever given and I've passed it on many times. I truly hope it helps.
Old fart, old enough to be your grandfather, about 6000 miles away a d a total stranger but if I can help you I will. Just as I have many, my own sons included. Look up the theory of "SISU" it's a Suomi word, from Finland. It's a mantra worth remembering.
Take care and most of all, cut yourself a break now and then. You're growing up, nobody expects you to be perfect. Just maybe learn to say some things INSIDE your head.
I have been reflecting on many the same issues, this past week. Remember Craig Ferguson said, "Hey, made myself laugh!". Cocky for the sake of greed is wicked, but a lot of creative people have to practice self filtering.
Malachi...this is my first time ever watching your RUclips video 📹 &your a great looking guy that should always stay positive. Cause from watching this video shows your a nice person in life&joking around with others is fine just find the right friends in life that will laugh &enjoy your jokes&as for finding a girl friend in life find one that enjoys your jokes&likes you for who you are in life.which is someone that cares&knows how to make others laugh.pretty much just be your self&others will see the cool 😎 person you are in life.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Being spontaneous and thinking before you speak is a delicate balancing act. I have somewhat the same problem and have said some things that years later I cringe when I think about it. And then there is the filterless presidential candidate, which works if you don't have a conscience.
we all live and learn lessons, people understand horsing/joking around , maybe you understand how to not take it to far now, your aware- keep the faith/pray, your not a bad guy, you have a conscience & it works PEACE MR
❤. You’ll be fine bro
If you find yourself not making much progress with this through control, it might be helpful to journey inward a bit to explore what it is inside you that's pushing this kind of behavior. Some things to meditate on: You've observed that the joking may result in others feeling hurt and distancing themselves from you, so ask yourself "why would I want to keep people away? Is it maybe a defensive move to protect myself? If so, from what? Judgment? Rejection? What is it about me that I don't want people to know or see?" Try to stay focused on the motivation and purpose of the joking. Keep exploring yourself. I think the journaling (video or even just writing) will be a huge help.
So we’re adults now… and what intelligent adults do is become introspective and make changes throughout adulthood.
You’re an intelligent young dude and I’m a 68 year old fart still and always faced with the same introspective questions. Keep up the good work. !
Focus all your energy, that you apparently have, to flip the coin over and become an avid listener. You don't learn anything by talking, you only learn by listening.
Hey Malachi. Excellent vids. I work for a radio station which focuses on mental health. Any chance of you doing some inspirational audio clips that we can put out in between the tunes.
"THINK" before you speak: Is it True, Is it Helpful, Is it Inspiring, Is it Necessary, and Is it Kind?
My friend, the beginning of a filter is Kindness above humor, speak the Truth in Love not judgement. Those you've hurt, go apologize, heal the relationship, undo the hurt. Seek positive humor. What would Jesus do? The opposite of arrogance. He washed the disciple's feet. Let praise of you come from others not your own lips.
Stop kicking yourself for the past, ask forgiveness and move forward. Look for something to Love in those who are mocked or pushed to the fringe. Pray for others quietly, maybe during gym workouts. Be an encourager. Do not hold on to shame or dish out shame. Forgiveness breaks the bonds of guilt and shame. Take care.
Life is self discovery bro, the fact that you recognise your fault’s means you care and you’re deeper then you feel right now, and not as shallow as you fear, don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re young and it’s important to be you too, it gets better and you get wiser, honest 👍🏼
I enjoy dad jokes along with surf boarding and accounting
Arrogance is one thing being a narcissist as a whole another ball game and will never work in anyone's life
Recommend comedy improv workshops. Hone your knack for comedy with like minded people. My daughter attended a week long Second City improv group for young people a few years back. It was a great experience.
Hey man; the best advice I finally just start taking is Love yourself. It starts there. Respect yourself and be true yourself. That’s when things will start to really click. And for me; I give all glory to God. Everything I have and everything I am is because of the mercy and the Love of Jesus my Lord & savior. If you come to know God; you will know peace 🙏🏾 Peace & Blessings upon you
Amen!
Malachi u got to luv ❤️ yourself bro !!!
The easiest thing we can do that is pleasing to God is how we treat other people! The older you get, you will understand that people respond best to kindness, being concerned about their lives, and having a goal to be geniune to all you meet and leaving them wanting to spend more time with you, because of your encouragement and sincere concerns for other people! Your awareness is great at your age!🙏♥️🔥
Along with the “speak less” you should remember to “listen more” that will help you understand more about people in general and specifically your friends. We ALL need a filter!
A great formula for being liked is to treat others like you think they want to be treated, like a friend. All the filters fall into place.
Beautiful
only you have that power to respect youself. if you can't respect what you do then change your behavior. you're in control of what you choose to do. others may try to force things upon you, but in the end, it is ultimately your choice. if you don't respect yourself, then don't expect others to.
You're young and will double guess yourself a lot in life. Hey guess what, it's healthy to do it. Means you're growing inside. Learning by it will help you evolve as you get older. Make mistakes, but learn by them. I'm 69 and haveade many myself. At least you recognize your failures and weaknesses. That's the important thing.
I'm kind of embarrassed to say - I can totally relate. No filters, none whatsoever! :(
I do think you're on the right path - you got it right - on your way to becoming a man, I guess a lot of filtering out must be done!
:(
Congratulations step 1 confronting self.
You made a great list, you might want to add just listening . the best way is to soak up things like a sponge.
Try reading people before saying jokes or sarcastic things. Theirs nothing wrong w being yourself, we all learn from our mistakes.Chin up
You shoud go as a mad scientist with a pet rat on your shoulder. It will win you babes and first prize for the best costume. And remember, Halloween is happy.
you are a cool guy
The only person who can change you from doing all those things you wrote down . . is Y O U . . the man you want to be will do all those things - you just have to let him. I've gotten in trouble MANY times in my life by trying to make people laugh, but going to far to do it - just like you're saying. You can change . . . you are obviously aware of your "problem" - that is HALF the battle, right there. Many other people do the things you say you don't like doing, but they have no idea that they're going "Too Far". At least you are aware of it.
You've given yourself some good advice. Talk less, do more, I might add to that - listen. Don't just wait to hear the straight line so you can come back with the comic response. Really listen to all they are saying, and try to understand their point. People talk to get a point across. They don't put a vowel next to a consonant to shoot something. I'm very happy that you're trying. But it takes time for the filters to stay active longer and longer, and to catch a straight line that deserves a funny response. Not hateful, not pain inducing, just funny. You'll learn that over time too.
Another Nice Video.. I can relate because sometimes i am that way too..
David healed Johnathan.
Hi Malachi, To recognize that you made hurtful comments is a solid positive step. The more you think of others and what impact your comments and speech have on others, the better person you will become. Hang in there. Suggest you read Proverbs in the Bible. Read one chapter per day if you can and when you finish, go back and read it again. God bless you kiddo. You are becoming a better version of yourself.
Man, the world has become a serious place. I admire & applaud the self-reflection here, but gee, what have we done: life for young people seems have become an endless field of broken eggshells for them to walk tentatively across.
As the rich get richer and the rest of us are poorer and our government is helpless or corrupt. With the information that is coming out about unidentified arial phenomena and the secret workings that are hidden from our highest clearance congress members, it’s no wonder so many people feel like giving up. But you can’t, you can’t lose if you don’t give up. It’s hard sometimes, very hard. But you gotta keep going, keep pushing forward.
Be kind rewind!!!
You're young your brain is still developing give it time.
Awesome and amazing guy 💯
Malachi life is a serious thing tou look a nice person having,fun is a part of life but life it'self needs positive approach 😢😢😢
Don't worry love will come, 😢do what makes you genunine
People’s feelings are too sensitive. Never forget those jokes because the more people you meet, the more you will appreciate them.
Summer camp isn't Jonestown. Leave it as an experience and seek other social situations. No one ever finds themselves by looking. It just happens. Take a deep breath and carry on. ❤
I agree about you needing to work on a filter-i don’t think i ever had a filter -i think i always thought by me saying that joke it made me look cute cool? Well i have said some stupid things even in front of my doctor. Basically my not having that filter messed up relationships- messed up me maturing and being a grown up. I wasn’t cute-i was immature.. when you were reading your suggestions-of what you could do -instead of not talk .. change that to I will listen more. Ok -i don’t know you -i just came across your post-that’s my two cents..
I'm curious, what kind of camp is this? Is it a motivational type camp?
I'd like to know more about this camp please.
