      I couldn't agree more, hell, lots of places I've been in either discourages you for either expressing what has been ailing you like some of the burdens I have, but there are always so many callous and nasty people either ready to ignore what you have to say and brush it off at best or put you down to make themselves seem like a better person than you are at worse.

      I feel like it's probably people who haven't had the chance to share their own struggles, who have gotten bitter about it, and thus get triggered when someone else tries to open up. I also feel like part of them really wants to but everything in their mind just goes feral and goes nuts at themselves because it's associated with danger/fear, so they tell themselves not to join in but lash out instead. But hey, could just be projecting. I just get that feeling.

    Watching this really hit close to home as someone who grew up living on the Autism spectrum. Anytime when I had worries and would go to my parents or other family members, they shrug it off as it's not a big issue and told me not to act so stressed about it which ended up damaging me psychologically in the long run with how I expressed myself causing me to have fights and arguments with other people I don't think would have happened had I expressed myself properly about what I'm going through.
    Mental health is not a joke and more people need to take it seriously as you never know what someone is really going through in their lives, and this dismissive environment only adds more fuel to the fire. I can strongly relate to your experience seeing how I grew up in a similar environment, and I wish you all the best for the future man.

    I relate to this so much. Especially right now having a recent issue that really dragged me down. What sucks is I pretty much never let my frustrations out because of 1. Major trust issues, 2. Those frustrations being undermined, and 3. Those in my life who encourage venting are the ones that undermine and judge the most. Moments like those give me a sense of hopelessness NGL.
    Hearing that someone else has experiences and difficulty handling such emotions at least helps me realize I'm not the only one like that.

    I definitely appreciate this video. I typically try to stay positive for the most part, but there are many times where it can be a bit tough. I work a job in medical field which can consist of a few 12 hour shifts in a row. If these days are back to back, I have hardly anytime (if any at all) to really unwind or process what I just went through for the day. This on top of other life responsibilities or other issues I got going on can make it pretty tough to have a positive outlook.
    But the idea that I will eventually have my off days where I can unfold and relax is nice. Of course, the best way for me to do so is to play a super hard game or something that requires my full attention (Super C is my comfort game since it’s non-stop action and it fully absorbs me). Definitely appreciate this video, I really relate to it especially as someone who typically doesn’t talk about my mental state to anyone.

    I just have to say : Thank u for actually getting this off your chest! I really hate how this doesn't get talked about on social media, and it's actually discouraged. I'm feeling not the best right now, and it's 2025. 😅 l have been though the worst of it. I still don't have a job (because of this BS system), my parents are not the best support system, and l am doing my best to hold it all together. I want to keep having hope, but it is so difficult with everything being so unattainable because how society works nowadays. Even one of my friends sent me a reel about getting off my lazy ass and getting a job (l know it was a joke.) and l played it off, but then l realize it's has been 4 years , l still don't have one and l am about to reach 25, l started crying so much that l called one of my other friends and told them anything, even my intrusive thoughts! I just need a mental health day.

    First of all; every single point you made here resonated so much; I really wish people would actually take the time to understand why someone is feeling the way they are instead of being dismissive of it because even though it can seemingly "toughen" someone up, there are much better ways of doing that and the end result is almost always just more confusion, at least for someone like me.
    On the other hand, holy crap, for a NES game the first Ninja Gaiden looks really fire, I never played any of them I might have to try it out

  • @Apuro0713

    I've always felt like the struggle of talking about not being okay or alright is the stigma that people won't care at all, and to an extent that's true, not everyone will, but saying that no one will is neglegent, both realistically and to yourself. That's not even addressing the thoughts that people already have it bad enough without your issues added into the situation.
    I struggled with my own issues in middle and high school, although mostly the former. Now I can look back and assess that it could've been the lack of a friend group, possible autism and adhd, or just not being comfortable with myself. Sure I still have moments now but that doesn't mean that any other moment I 100% good or there, 'cause sometimes I just need to tune stuff out and endulge myself to feel alright.
    To quote an underrated and underappreciated song: "I'm not okay/But it's all gonna be alright"

    Hey Magnus, thank you so much for putting yourself out there like this and giving us grown men an example to follow. I feel like I grew up in the same kind of environment that you did, where people were dismissive of my feelings. I can tell that you have grown a lot just having the language and awareness on these topics. I think that it's important to recognize that dismissiveness doesn't have to look aggressive to be invalidating ("What do you mean that you're having trouble making friends? You're a great person!) As an adult now one of my greatest struggles is going deeper into my marriage after holding on to the trust issues you were talking about, and instead leaning into my gaming habit.
    I think we as a culture need to be talking about this sort of thing more, and I'm glad you had the courage to bring it up. I hope that you find comfort from this hurt and have a safe place to process everything, and that you find relationships where you can go into the deeper parts without feeling judged or dismissed, but instead can feel seen and heard.
    Peace.

    I get what you mean, with your emotions being dismissed cuz "your problems are small".
    Well, they're still problems, and often the people who tell us that shit don't really help us figure the problem out, so it just feels like an even bigger problem, yeah?
    And thank u especially for pointing out that self-care IS caring for others, too, because if we're tense and overwhelmed, we WILL eventually make a mistake, take it out on someone, make a bad decision, or whatever.
    Keep expressing yourself, bro. Your honesty is such a rare gem, especially in this format, this site, this era.

    I'm thankfully still growing up in a loving, open and inviting enviornment. I express my worries, fears and all that whenever I can, and 9 times out of 10 I am met with support, something I'm incredibly grateful for.
    In the span of the first month of this year, I had lost an old friend I haven't spoken to in years to suicide, I've been involved in drama in multiple friend groups that I didn't want to be a part of, and I've been feeling less and less wanted in my IRL friend group because of how much insult humor they use.
    And despite that? I'm hanging in there. Because I've talked about this stuff many times to many different people, and I've been supported in ways I can't be thankful for enough. I'll tell my IRL friends about how I feel too. I know I'll be okay.

    My favorite hip hop artist Chino XL committed suicide back in July of last year.. He had been suffering from life long depression and had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and stage four prostate cancer and having to deal with the prolonged backlash of his beef with Tupac Shakur. He would often make posts on his social media that were indicative of depression, but I never thought that he would actually do it. Then, if that were not bad enough, my second favorite hip hop artist, Holocaust/Warcloud of Wu Tang West Coast Killa Bees died in police custody back in December of last year, cause is currently unknown, but being that he was a black person with drug addiction and being a diagnosed schizophrenic, we all know how police handle black men with mental health issues. Appreciate you letting off some steam like this and letting us know that it is okay to do the same. Do not know why there is such a stigma surrounding mental health, especially in the black community.

But I don't think anything beats being heard and seen (and supported/accepted) by another human, just the acknowledgement of the 'human struggle'. Best of strength and luck and I hope you find relief soon dude.

    There's a reason I find Proverbs 3:5-6 a necessary instruction for myself. I'm never strong enough to handle anything myself, and I'd never have gotten where I'm at right now if I didn't have God to help me through any of it. He didn't take away my suffering - He used it to make me stronger and more resilient to suffering. With the lessons I learn from those sufferings and the strength God provides, I can do things that I thought I'd never be capable of years ago. Don't be afraid to come to God with your concerns and problems.

    Expressing self is vital. As is acknowledging struggle or challenge, a trick i do see the positives in having self doubt or taking something new, even the stuff that's easy take step back to know it's impact. Perfectionism is rough even when expectations are there, it's best remember be human and self improvement is a process not the end goal.

    This is kinda related I guess, but it has worried me for a little bit, more so today.
    I've had this spot on my thumb for probably a week now, maybe a little over. At first I thought it was blood, but it hasn't gone away, so today I started to worry if it's a mole or something, I've been very worried about existential dread and thus cancer has been on my mind for the past week or so. I asked my Mum about it. And while I love her with all my heart, she just instantly said it's a blood blister. To be fair, she's probably right, but she seemed to get annoyed thinking I was looking this stuff up and worrying myself. To be honest I get where she's coming from, even when I thought I saw a sign of cancer, I was frozen and didn't want to see anyone about it worrying how my life would change, I get it feels more comfortable to wait it out, but it's weird this one time had me go through a different reaction, I wanted to get something done about it because it wasn't just a single moment of shock, this had built up.
    I am gonna see what happens but still, it was good to kinda get this off my chest.
