i suppose the present on a global scale sucks, but right now right here, you're probably fine, healthy and sitting in a room inside your house. thats good enough! i think we shouldnt want to be present in the whole world at once, be present in like the room you're in and you might feel less anxiety from stressful situations
Don't wait until an opportunity passes you by! This has been a wake up call for lots of us. Hopefully in a way we can all be better people following this
i was looking forward to spring break cuz i live in sf but i got a friend who goes to davis and she was gonna come back for spring break and i was hoping to chill the most bittersweet part is she made it to sf but like a day later, self-qurantined....she lives in practically the same neighborhood as me and we cant hang...but least shes stuck at home vs her dorm, or well i imagine thats better
What I like to do is the opposite of meditating. Just writing everything down that comes to my mind. No matter how little sense it make. Just allowing yourself to have this storm of thoughts and getting them out on paper. Like Shrek said, better out than in
Great video, Nathan! I definitely agree. Even though this is a horrible, difficult and uncertain time for everyone I like how it's forced everyone to finally slow down. It's helped me focus on what really matters in my life and to have time to reflect and take care of myself. Hope you're well, man! Stay safe.
Bro I relate to you on so many levels man mostly because we share the same first name but honestly you’re videos just hit different you’re funny and you always make videos I need to hear please keep it up.
Love your perspective on all of this, one thing I was doing before this was just writing down 2 or 3 sentences about what happened in my day and how it made me feel. I definitely fell off but am going to pick it back up. Really important to focus on the present and the things that are actually real.
loved the video . I really got u when u said u always have to keep your mind busy , but the thing is that u can't scape yourself , so its better just to take sometime to listen . Thanks for the advice
Nathan, you should read a book called “How to do Nothing.” I just finished it, and it provides a very compelling way to think through and contextualize a lot of the issues you bring up in this video. It’s a really really good book
Well I found someone to listen to ,besides myself ,it's alright to be alone ,but it's not good when you start talking to yourself and then you start answering yourself. I watched all my movies ,over 100 times, because I don't like streaming, I watch my movies on my DVD/ Blu-ray. It's ok being alone ,you can do whatever you want ,you can look like whatever you want to look like , you can say whatever you want ,and no one can judge you.
Huuuge agree on the whole people pressuring others to be productive during the quarantine! Some people are really gung-ho on developing a new skill or hobby during this time and that's great! But trying to pressure others into it like "if you're not a master at something new after this then you wasted ur time!" like EXCUSE ME? LET ME TRY AND SURVIVE HELLO????
Hit em with that 1 Corinthians 7 stuff. It’s good not to have to worry about pleasing other people! Lol I can totally relate to what you’re saying in this vid. Thanks for always keeping it real, and for always finding a way to fit your Obama impression into videos that have no context for it 🙌😂
thats three times now that nathan has prophesized the following year's disaster and im done saying coincidence. dude is straight up oracle at this point.
When are going to reveal that you have reality altering superpowers, like this year is going swel for you! Like how? You most change reality subconciosly, teach me!!!
@@Trinlove love you, hun!! i know how difficult it can be but I'm so SO proud that you were able to shift your mindset! I'm so glad that you have these goals for yourself :'). also, remember that the bad days are completely normal! it's all a part of the journey 😉. here if you ever need someone to talk to 😊💓
girl, u have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I’m surprised but I know who you are. Welcome back, Nathan :))
the fact that i’m honestly quite comfortable in quarantine is kinda sad sometimes bc it reminds me that before this all happened i never really left my house to hang out or anything anyways lmao. but all this has given me time to focus on anything creative i’ve been wanting to do, and it seems to be the same for many other people so that’s p cool
Dude same boat..l I had been technically “self isolating” since New Years... I knew March was going to be busy with a lot of birthdays and parties so I basically took of seeing people for Jan and Feb to prepare... and then it never happened. Now weekends I can stay home and relax and not have to feel guilty about it because everyone else is in the same situation. It’s a really weird positive for me.
i'm so happy reading this, i've felt like such a bitch telling people i feel awesome when they ask how i am!! if anything i'm nostalgic just thinking of when this will all end... i've just been studying for my online exams and doing the reflecting i didn't have enough time to do because of classes, but otherwise this is just classic spring break for me. all i know is that i need to prepare for how bad my anxiety will be when the world reopens, but for now i try to focus on the progress i've made on the mental health front and read a lot more books than usual. hopefully we can all keep a little bit of quarantine xp with us after the world reopens!
Same. I’m home schooled any way, so I’ve had more than enough time to be patient with myself and reflect on things that public school restricted me from. And now, I have four plant children growing so that’s a plus :)
bro i can't believe it finally somebody talking about the joys of not having to talk to or text anyone. the lack of stress that comes from not being in a relationship. this reminded me why i've been a fan for 5+ years for real my dude u make a video once every solar eclipse but it's always worth the wait
I think you should read "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy"-- super interesting and relevant for anyone who's on social media and especially for these crazy times!!
So great seeing your face man. And honestly I couldn’t imagine being in a relationship right now I know there’s tons of positives to it. But I would lose my mind if somebody was under me or FaceTiming me 24/7 during this quarantine. 💀. Side note: I’m turning 25 in June and my cruise just got canceled for that month. I’m sad as hell about it but then again I’m getting my money back 😭🔥

So you just gonna call out my childhood with your thumbnail like that?
He needs to make GOOD predictions, then they will hopefully happen 😂😂
@@ellapyongyang5648 That was the point of everyone learning how to be alone

Yes wtf nat
“It’s hard to be present when the present sucks” I felt that on a deep level
i suppose the present on a global scale sucks, but right now right here, you're probably fine, healthy and sitting in a room inside your house. thats good enough!
i think we shouldnt want to be present in the whole world at once, be present in like the room you're in and you might feel less anxiety from stressful situations
The fact that I read this comment right as he said it.
I feel like some times i be so happy that everyone in my life gave me the things that i wanted
That part hit me!
My plan was to socialise more this year because I have previously spent too much time alone but the world had a different plan I guess.
SAME
Don't wait until an opportunity passes you by! This has been a wake up call for lots of us. Hopefully in a way we can all be better people following this
make some internet friends dude!!
You can still reach your goal!
i was looking forward to spring break cuz i live in sf but i got a friend who goes to davis and she was gonna come back for spring break and i was hoping to chill
the most bittersweet part is she made it to sf but like a day later, self-qurantined....she lives in practically the same neighborhood as me and we cant hang...but least shes stuck at home vs her dorm, or well i imagine thats better
Wow Nathan, didn't realize this was all your fault. That's wild bro.
"it be hard to be"- Nathan Zed, 2020
What I like to do is the opposite of meditating. Just writing everything down that comes to my mind. No matter how little sense it make. Just allowing yourself to have this storm of thoughts and getting them out on paper.
Like Shrek said, better out than in
As an introvert that is still too young to move out, the only hard part about being at home is hearing how much everyone else is freaking out
"It is very easy for you to lie to you"
I felt that. But I probably didn't. I'm lying to myself.
I liked hearing you talk just to talk. It was actually really nice and relatable in a way I haven’t seen before.
“But It’s hard to be present when the present sucks.”
"It be hard to be. What can I say?"
that's a senior quote right there
Great video, Nathan! I definitely agree. Even though this is a horrible, difficult and uncertain time for everyone I like how it's forced everyone to finally slow down. It's helped me focus on what really matters in my life and to have time to reflect and take care of myself. Hope you're well, man! Stay safe.
My brother just showed me your channel. Definitely binged for hours. Top tier content (and comedic editing).🎯💎
bro you have been my favorite youtuber for 4-5 years don't stop you're magical.
Bro I relate to you on so many levels man mostly because we share the same first name but honestly you’re videos just hit different you’re funny and you always make videos I need to hear please keep it up.
I’ve been rewatching your old videos so thank you for this new content king 🙏🏾
And now we’re almost 11 months into quarantine😭
Nathan: Some of y'all have unlimited social battery
Me, who has actually fallen asleep, completely sober, on the couch at a party: 👀
Love your perspective on all of this, one thing I was doing before this was just writing down 2 or 3 sentences about what happened in my day and how it made me feel. I definitely fell off but am going to pick it back up. Really important to focus on the present and the things that are actually real.
as somebody under the ace/aro umbrella, YOU GET ME NATHAN. you get me.
Well apparently i already know how to do that since the lockdown hasn’t affected me at all lmao
loved the video . I really got u when u said u always have to keep your mind busy , but the thing is that u can't scape yourself , so its better just to take sometime to listen . Thanks for the advice
ily Nathan I literally check yesterday to see if youve been alive and here we are
I really needed this. Thank you.
today I thought to myself, "I really need a new Nathan Zed video" and here we are
Why are more people not watching this guy?? The best videos. Thoroughly entertained.
Contrapoints said you're such a mood
How do you keep predicting the future??!??!?!?!? but for real you really articulated exactly how I've been feeling lately - its a madness
Nathan, you should read a book called “How to do Nothing.” I just finished it, and it provides a very compelling way to think through and contextualize a lot of the issues you bring up in this video. It’s a really really good book
*Reads title* Oh don’t worry, I’m already an expert
I needed this video. I’m so glad I clicked.
6:04 “the anxxiIiIiieEeEtTyY”

Loved this video can definitely relate to what you are talking about.
Glad to hear you're doing well!
This has been my favorite channel for almost five years. Nathan and I are the same age. BUT I HAVE NEVER RELATED TO A VIDEO MORE.
This like to dislike is godly. Instant sub cause I respect
I still think about this video😪
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY KING
the present is where all your potential lies 🙏🏼✨
Sir, I am CACKLING
The introvert energy in this is peaking
The Spider-Man video game thing was sooooo hilarious what the heck
nathan zed manifested quarantine
Contrapoints brought me here. Thank you, Natalie!

So happy you uploaded 💕

"Ok yeah, well I graduated a year ago, but I-"
Sounds like you were about to say that your job search went about as well as mine. :/

HE DID IT AGAIN
can't believe nathan invented meditation
I’d hug you with a hazmat suit on
the social battery part really hit different 😭 not long lasting at ALL
Ngl I needed this
I love the thumbnail❤

How to be alone:

Zed pulled these clips from the archives of my memory banks 😂
"It be hard to be" hahahah
That indian TV serial music in the beginning really caught me off guard.
The spongebob reference. A classic
Wowww Nathan you really brought this to 2020 🤣🤣🙄
thats three times now that nathan has prophesized the following year's disaster and im done saying coincidence. dude is straight up oracle at this point.
What were the other times? (I'm relatively new to his channel, excuse my ignorance)
Oracle or cause? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Chellie Bee celebrity deaths, Donald trump presidency, and natural disasters you need to watch the old ones they’re so good
Chellie Bee watch his bring it/leave it videos in chronological order. hilariously accurate each year
Oh okay, thanks y'all!! 😊
not gonna lie yall bring it // leave it might have to be cancelled
If the Simpsons was a person
You think?
Thank you this is actually scary
Next time use your unlimited powers of manifestation for good, for example I'd like 10 million dollars please

Wouldn't it be 'asocial'?

“I don’t understand how some of y’all have an unlimited social battery” i’ve never related to a quote so hard
Gabrielle Trentacosta yes my “friend” is constantly trying to talk to me. And I always just tell her, “I’m playing the game.” Because I usually am.
you predict the future every year bruh you gotta be more careful. I haven’t seen sunlight in two months AND my hairline’s messed up
