I miss those short candid videos. You did them more often back then. I think that’s when subscribers found you relatable. Good video. Good to hear you’re liking the Thai classes!
I started watching you in 2017 and since then you've accomplished alot, had many different travels and experiences, I think you haven't done that bad considering all the obstacles, don't underestimate yourself.
@@Lurker27819 Its all bloody pointless we're going to be forgotten in 100 years from this moment. I'm only 22 I've seen it all. Go to work, work infinite hours, you're not going to be able to buy a house in your 20s. All you have is time just laugh live enjoy. Everyone is trying to figure it out.
You should do a live stream where you go through all your old videos and commentary on it with your thoughts now watching back, with this same set up with the video playing so we can watch with you. There you go i have you a solid idea
This is so sad, i wish he had a friend or someone who would inspire him to set his mind on one of his hobbies and spark that passion in him to perfect w/e he is doing. All of his hobbies doesnt even require school or a degree, its all online and you can get a job through perfecting your skills and applying with your portfolio. Same goes with life style, like diet, working out and social skills. It takes a long time to change yourself but it would for sure speed it up with someone like that. It's extremely impressive that he didnt start drinking or doing drugs or joining sketchy people, most people would who stuck on the same problem. Clearly, you were never mentally weak and you are inteligent. You just needed a bit of help from others, to guide you and be patient with you.
Hi Daniel, I’m a 27 years old guy and I too don’t have motivation to work although I have to because of the bills and I too still don’t know what I want for my future. Seeing this made me realize that I’m not alone.
man just the fact that you're able to self-reflect like this means you're not stupid. you gotta be a bit nicer to yourself, tone down that negative inner voice. most people are never compelled to explain to others how they're not intelligent. also david 19 really messed everything up didn't it. i was just thinking today how it really threw a wrench in the gears of many of my fav channels like you or nigahiga. there hasn't really been community excitement for anything since 2020, no good music made and artists that were on a roll slowed down to a halt.
I remember this video back then. I was in uni hiding in my room studying for a law degree. Graduated two years ago first in my class and haven’t been able to find a job since. Now hiding in my room
when i first subbed to this channel in 2017 I was broke, lonely and working shitty jobs to push myself through a degree. I eventually landed a proper job and now I run my own technology firm and make bank. But AI will easily phase me out of my job soon, I'm afraid of the future too. Maybe it's okay to just be lost since everybody is in this shit together
What kind of technology firm and what was your job before that? I'm sure you'll be able to adapt to whatever changes AI bring given how well you're doing right now. I work in IT at the moment and I would love to have my own firm, but I might not have the guts to pull it off. Even if I had the motivation I wouldn't know where to start.
@@Alexandre5 its a consultancy firm for private contracting but eventually I'd like to get into govt contracting. I didn't have the guts either but I forced myself to do it.
Some things didn't change, but i think you made great progress personality-wise Daniel. You're going to school again! Something you didn't want to do for years. Just wait what life will offer you in the future. Maybe you'll find some kind of chill job in Thailand, maybe something remote, idk. But you're on the right way atm :)
All jokes aside. You have done pretty well for yourself in comparison to that time. You did blow up, and you might not be as popular as you was a few years back but you're still able to make a living whist living in a developing country/your childhood boxroom. And most importantly you're doing it on your terms. Just been fired at 32 and now on the hook for a lot of rent for a flat in central London with my own Chinese girlfriend. Wish I had some independent income like yourself. Not sure I could detail all the horrible stuff I've done to women online quite as frankly as you though.
Not adding anything new, but even so, I do agree with what a couple of other commenters mentioned: you should indeed do more of these " Daniel, then and now"-type of videos. I found this to definitely among your more interesting videos, Daniel. : )
This weird to be honest. I personally dont feel much change as I get older. I don't think I am mature and serious and knowing finally 'adult stuff' while getting older. Anxiety issues dim a little but mostly I got used to them and arrange life not to trigger them too much. So I can relate 😂
I discovered my gratitude is the foundation for happiness, in being able to live a full time artist life now without having to work a job. I feel blessed. Being plugged into the business world out of necessity only amounts to a stressful life. Please find something you enjoy doing that also pays it's own way without too much stress. These jobs people work, 60 hour plus work weeks, only leave people exhausted and unable to enjoy what free time of LIFE they do have. In other words they are barely living life at all. Today I get up when i feel like it, and I get to enjoy living my life my way every minute of every day. I pray the same for you Daniel. Gratitude is the key. Try not to make money your focus, as that is an insatiable egocentricity that will only burn you out and steal from your enjoyable life of just being YOU. I love you and miss you dearly. Happiness is the journey. ~ Andyy
I think its sad that Daniel was raising these really important questions and looking for support on RUclips. He didn't have anyone to talk to, or couldn't talk to people around him about what he was going through. Try to have better relationships and be closer to people would have been my advice to him.
I’m happy to see you have progressed and changed throughout the years, contrary to what other people are senselessly spewing in these comments. Keep it up man!
I sometimes wonder if you are ADHD. I am. Issues with motivation & reward are very typical. ////You have matured a lot these past few years. Nice to see the gratitude you are able to feel/ recognize for where you are now.
@@leigh7507 There is so often a close relationship between ADHD and autism. Having been married to someone on the spectrum, I have seen how difficult it is typically for those person's to lie and be deceitful towards others. Just my question to the air..... :D
@oliviatrue2907 I even suspect I'm on the spectrum but like David, almost unnoticeable to 95% of the public, and most people just think we're quirky. Sadly we do struggle in some social circumstances and get overwhelmed over some minor things. It's a weird thing to have as it seems so mild compared yo how severe autism can be, yet it can destroy relationships and careers
There for sure are copies of some of your older videos on RUclips, if you already deleted them. If nowhere else, almost definitely on Kiwi, I can download them for you. This was a nice video, I would for sure like to watch more of this kind of content.
You are smart and you are capable but you downplay yourself too much and give up to easily, Purley because you think your shit when in reality your not. You’ve given yourself this skewed identity which causes you to make poor life choices. You should seek some help professionally to overcome this as it’s been haunting you for years. You also don’t take your own advice about the things that you are aware are problematic in your life. You have defiantly matured tho for sure. Just keeping seeking to be better.
it's nice to give your younger self a constructive advice but sad that you don't live up to the advice you offered. Finding something you like and trying new things...
Those were the days ... 😌 Some miss the old Kanye , I could say I miss the old Daniel but actually it's oldest more mature version is dope. Keep doin you Danny, you can be proud of your achievements. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯💪🏻
I like that old daniel alot. He was at a crossroads. He knew something was wrong, and wanted to fix it. I feel like if had the proper help back then your life could have turned out differently. You had better self awareness back then.
Yeah bro I agree things just get harder when you're older. Only way your thirties are nice is if you built a base of having a good job, education, or money from your 20's. But if you use your experience you should have a great 30's and 40's.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” - John 3:16 God bless everyone here. Jesus loves you and died for you on the cross. He did this to wash away the burden of sins, and if you open your heart to Him, He can take away the burden of your sins and give you a peace incomparable to anything in this world. ✝✝🙏
real shit tho we are the same people in terms of personality and looks from the day were born till the day we die, everyones problems just present themselves in different forms till the end
Listen, you walked away cause I saw you when you were at last visit in Japan and suggested to you to get a job. Now, lick you wounds, look back, so you can see how little you've accomplished, but move on. GET U A DAMN JOB AND SAVE FOR YOUR OLD AGE cause you will be there before you know it. And believe me, it's the best advice anyone could ever give you. BTW this very thing happen to me and luckily at my late age I woke up. So with 300k saved I hope I have enough, but you in your generation may need to save more, whatever, don't lose confidence in yourself. You are running late, get moving.
Hello, I want to discuss with you if something in our life is not OK, i hope i can do open discussion with you, i hope you reply to my comments and we can reach out, thankyou
i would really help you on a skype call or discord whatever i hate to see someone with so much potential not using it lets get back on our feet brother!

Crazy how life goes on but nothing changes huh?
I know, man... It’s all so tiresome
It is. What was your idea how would you be now when you were younger?
That's really really REALLY depressing not gonna lie
No need

Bro he just milking the folowers throu live streams lol
The longer hair today suits you very well.
Surprisingly good, introspective content... your channel is definitely improving. Your viewership/subs will follow, if they aren't already.
The way you speak is so different from back then. I remember that I started watching you in 2017 during the single mom time. Fun to look back.
I like the Reaction direction this channel is taking, you should do more reaction videos.
It is nice to be able to look back on your life. Nice video! Btw i like your old glasses 🤓 It gave you a softer look 😊
You really have matured Daniel. Ive been watching your videos since like 2017?
Anyway, well done Dan 🎉🎉

you are more intelligent than you think you are but i like that u r humble in this video im so proud
Compared to 11 years ago you have a much better looking haircut
Lol I was thinking the same thing.
So what was 27yr. old Daniel's rating out of 10 ?
I’m happy to see you have progressed and changed throughout the years, contrary to what other people are senselessly spewing in these comments. Keep it up man!
You've grown a lot Daniel! You should try doing some gaming streams

What video editing software do you use Daniel
This was good content. 🇬🇧

I Think they made a character similar to you on Milinium Thinker YT the Video is called " i discovered my grandfather vlogs" lol
Interesting vid Daniel
Older Daniel is kicking ass
I wish you well, Daniel
Wow daniel changed??? I looked you up again after years. I'm happy for you.
We thought having cereal around the world would motivate you. 😢

You can fault Dan for his shitty life decisions but you can't deny he's ended up exactly where he wants to be.
Daniel you became such a MAN. For real. Keep going.
wah gwaan
You should do more of these type videos, you're good at it.
We the same age, me to my 27 yo self: dont worry, you ll get your own place, car, wife, kid, great job , travel and still be depressed lol
damn u came a long way daniel i am so proud of you
Great self analysis, I like the video idea
Good video Danielsan
it's nice to give your younger self a constructive advice but sad that you don't live up to the advice you offered. Finding something you like and trying new things...
tried a lot this past year. driving, going to the gym, painting, learning thai, being an irl streamer
Oh sorry. Thanks for your comment! could your give me a thumbs up too?@@HidingInMyRoom1989
Cheers mate
Do you have a skincare routine? You look much younger than 34, no wrinkles at all.

do a series on reacting to your old videos
The more things change the more they stay the same
Keep going my boy Daniel
what school is he going to?
But your dad did push you and scold you when you were unemployed

I've been here that long too, and similar to Daniel that long too, sadly no gf for me, but maybe Thailand holds the key
I enjoyed this!
Holy shit I can relate. Im also 34 and still struggling xD
😂
The way you speak now is so different compared to before
His accent is less British somehow
You're going to school?
Ur not a failure Daniel ur a cool dude✌🏽
Told you years ago that reaction videos would work for you….finally doing it now
More cooking with Daniel videos please!!!!!
I really enjoy those old videos. The videos where you complain about your coworkers at the petrol station are the best.
You sounded like you had a head cold
real shit tho we are the same people in terms of personality and looks from the day were born till the day we die, everyones problems just present themselves in different forms till the end
