He's still relatively young and can turn things around. I think as a society we've moved away from societal expectations. People are literally making millions doing practically anything so the sky is the limit.
I lost my 20s to depression and much of my 30s to PTSD following a violent assault. It's hard to deal with when you turn around and reflect. All that time, just gone. Forever. I think he's been analyzing some things.
I am 26 and I'm losing it at home all the time , I'm still studying things I'm not interested in just to stay a little bit busy , things are tough here and all I'm doong is hiding from this reality in my house doing nothing , not learning any skill or bothing , just surfing social media day and night , I sleep at 4 or 5 AM and I wake up at 10 and stay in my bad till 12 Am , I'm just avoiding life
@@olivermerth5179 Same. But I'm in my late 30's. I don't know why I can't get it together. I used to be outgoing and happy and I even enjoyed studying in college. So scary being trapped in my head.

Bro he's not trolling. He likes to say that sometimes but i mean, look at his life... :/ It's quite sad indeed, i actually genuinely hope he stops making RUclips videos and makes something out of his life.
It's sad not just for Daniel for everyone of us as well... we are wasting our 20s 30s 40s 50s and 60s everyone in his own way seeking self made and society pressureed "Dreams life goals and fulfillment" just to realize one day you have became too old to do anything time has passed but you can't get that fulfillment that you have always seeked for and life has its own way for numbing you making you feel ur on the right track for obtaining things like money fame children or whatever but what's important tho and what's not Daniel wasted his 20s playing video games and meaningless sex others working 9 to 5 job that they don't like and steal their souls what's the difference... What's is the meaning of all of this tis?
@@Badbooo123 Duuudeee... Whether you're wasting your life or not is entirely a matter of perspective. Of course there's no objective meaning in live and if you're feeling like you're wasting your time, then you are! But if you're doing things, believing in them and enjoying them, then it's a live well lived, as simple as that. I know it sounds cheesy and has been said a million times already, but if you cherish small things like eating good food, going out or reading a book, things will really be much better.
I dunno man. I mean, you taught yourself Japanese and have over 100k subs on RUclips. It could be a lot worse and you're far better off than many people in their early 30s and above trust me.
Not to mention all those other people he thinks look so impressive who did the standard Univeristy > corporate job. They pretend to be happy , they “look successful” on paper. But the reality is they have shitty wages, no free time, no introspection of their life. They are constantly running the hamster wheel of keeping up with society expectations, and never paying themselves a moment of time to introspect and ask them self what their inner child would do as an adult.
I am also 32 and I feel you. I think I could have achieved much more if I were more dedicated to things but... I get bored with stuff way too easily...

True. i had a pretty bad and lost 20s. im 32 also and i think life will be better from now on. but good or bad its all about learning things. i think daniel did a lot in his 20s. maybe not working a lot but travelling is a great way to spend your 20s. i didnt do that. i was a white american girl neet whos been bullied a lot but life will not be "wasted" from now on i just know it
I'm 31year old woman right now and I feel the same way. I'm about to be 32 this year. My problem was I wasted my time on men, partying, and marijuana. I was hopitizated for depression mutiple times. Now I'm on psychiatric medications and still live at home with my mom. I dropped out of college because I couldn't afford it with a degree that was considered a worthless degree. I lost all my drive and motivation so your not alone. You could be doing worse like me. Now I have a guy who is constantly addicted to video games and I'm thinking of breaking up with him. I have no family or a good stable career to show for it. Just tell yourself it could be worse. I hope you find a way out. I'm also afraid I'm going to waste my 30s this way but the only difference is that I have practically no friends left.
Oh fuck up. He said he wasted his 20s which is unfortunate. He then went on to say that he intends to also waste his 30s and if he could travel back in time he would waste his 20s all over again. What heart does he need to be shown?
After all these years, yeah it’s almost sad to look back and see how things turned out. We’ve seen it all and perhaps laughed, but… you’re here telling us that those years were wasted and that you’re scared you’ll do it again. It’s genuine and I feel incredibly sorry for you man. There’s always a chance to get things right and achieve what you want. Put your mind to something !!
I wasted my 20’s too, got a useless degree and taught abroad in Japan making low wages for like a year then in South Korea and moving back stateside just to work at Amazon which I still work there now into my 30’s. I am trying to turn it around by going back to school for an actual career, by becoming a nurse.
The only thing I can say I had better than Daniel was that I actually made a good chunk of change in crypto but not enough to change my life or anything. Otherwise I think Dannyboy is complaining too much that his life is shit when it really isn’t bad.
English degree with minor in Japanese. Taught English with it for awhile but damn it was not worth it. Luckily it only cost me 20k total for 4 years so I paid it off.
We all die. Memories are overvalued. When you're dead you can't appreciate your loved ones remembering you. And those memories die with them too. We are all, factually, wasting our lives.
Its the sad truth. It is true within 60-80 years time none of this stuff even matters because for the people that are in their 20's 30s or older would have died and then life becomes pointless and meaningless. We can't change it. At this day and age immortality is not possible.
comments seem to be quite sympathetic on this one, i think if you look past all the hate you've got a decent amount of people who genuinely care about you. we want to see you do well and figure life out danyo
You didn't waste your 20's everyone else is wasting they're time on earth chasing a "good job" or just a job in general so the can spend the rest of they're life working and making the rich people richer. And that's what the people in control want. They make us work our whole lives and make us chase the things THEY tell us is valuable when we are supposed to come to earth and enjoy and experience life on earth not working our whole lives. You just have to figure out a way to beat the matrix and never forget to enjoy every moment on earth. Enjoy the planet, enjoy loved ones, enjoy love, give love and nothing else. Be happy!
Alternative lifestyles have gained a lot of traction. Like people living in RVs/vans full time and working a low-stress job and able to save tons of money. Especially for those with remote jobs.
This^. People who chase “status” (how they appear to others) are the empty hollow people with nothing to show for their life. Never living their own life, but simply catering to the society built by others
@@vihodanyet facts bro if it don't make you happy don't do it! And that goes even to following the matrix and working a 9 to 5! Live your life, every moment of it
I was much happier being broke and just coasting through life than I am making a lot of money and being independent. Having my own place. Car. Bills paid. These things don't make me happy. A girl can make me happy if they love me. Video games can make me happy. I don't care about goals or accomplishments. I live life to be happy each day. And not having time to play games cause I'm working all the time is making me so unhappy. Being single made me unhappy. So not the best year.
This is terrifying. I never thought I'd see myself in 10 years(22 now). I've been out of the school system(more like didn't try) for 6 years now with nothing to show for it and am currently serving the military. I know this isn't gonna last and even in the military I catch myself exactly playing the same video games on the same dating apps trying to catch the same high on a weekend or form connections. Extremely afraid of trying something new if the possibility is failure. In the sincerest way possible, thank you for making this video. I don't think you're the sad case you portray yourself to be but this hits home hard. Putting this video on daily watchlist for sure and remind myself it isnt too late to make a change
Very mature and insightful video Daniel. Getting old is a scary thought for me as well. You have to remember Change isn't linear. It take a while to start new positive habits. You will probably fail like everyone does. You have to start with Iittle steps and eventually bigger steps. I believe it takes 20 days to start new habbit. Here's a plus of getting older, you will now have a sexy bald tinder pfp. Rooting for you Daniel. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely makes me feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one that has experienced life this way, thanks dude! Hopefully I'll do something more fulfilling but games are definitely fun.
It’s never too late man. You need to have ambition, that is what drives me. I’m getting close to my late 20’s now and I am still getting my stuff together. I am not married yet, but I have earned a college degree, and I am currently in the military. Most of my friends from college are now working great jobs and making much money, but I am still setting my life up. I realized that no matter the age, that is okay. I am 26 and 32 still seems pretty young. That is more than enough time to get a degree, a good job, and build a family. Anyone who feels that they wasted years of their life needs to realize that there is still an opportunity to build your life up. Some people don’t get their big break until they are in their 40’s. The best thing to do is to realize that you can’t waste anymore time and to have a goal to work towards. For me, video games also helped me. I always saw the main character in the games and thought how I could be like them and be the main character of my story. Like I said I am still building it up, but it is never to late to start that. Take the Matrix for example, Neo was 37 when he first entered it, and he didn’t have a wife or kids and worked a boring office job before that. It’s never too late.
I have some advice for you - I'm 30 now. I spent my 20's going to and from a self improvement mindset back to nothingness pleasure seeking. I found getting rid of my xbox helped, and spend more time doing stuff outside.
I understand what you're saying, but at the same time, you went through the death of your father, married, divorced, lived in new countries/places, worked, learned a new language, visited interesting places, worked on this RUclips channel among other things. You haven't wasted your 20s my friend. You just lived.
I don't regret chasing girls or travelling at all but fuck me dead the hours I wasted on cod and league of legends, if only I spent a 10th of that time in the gym or doing a night class.
True, games like those are real time killers. I sunk in so much time in dota, and for what? Instead I started learning to code and my God is life so much better.
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. And tbf probably one of the biggest wastes of time in life is commenting on this channel. No judgement I'm here too 😅
Dan I have found a new lifelong goal. To survive until I can play games in full VR on neuralink. An isekai rpg, where every npc is powered by a complex lifelike ai.
I'm 32 half Asian just like you and I decided to work in an oil changing station. I love Japanese cars (sometimes italian) and I'm sure you know the ドリフト scene on the streets at night. 1 year in I now am doing tune ups, brakes and courtesy rides for customers. It makes me money and honestly it's made a man out of me. I too have utterly wasted my 20's and hence! I've stumbled onto your video. If I can do it you can do it. Get into a Judo club that's where my self discipline all started. You can do it just try it I swear on my life 頑張って
I think most people reflect and think on how they didn't live up to their own expectations. To me, you traveled, got married, learned Japanese, developed a RUclips channel and learned about videotaping etc, learned about Visas, dealt with your dad's death, divorced, learned about yourself, grew in your nutrition knowledge, learned about marketing your My Only Fans, and learned how to invest. Your marketable skills: art/computer graphics skills, language, marketing/sales, technical computer skills, ability to travel. You could be your own boss and set your own hours and not be an ant but make a company where you can consult with others (perhaps Japanese people) who want to be a RUclipsr or develop their My Only Fans page or advice on investing, marketing or technical stuff like video editing. Or, you might join Metaverse and live in there.
Maybe, you could do something fairly easy, that also gave your life a level of purpose..? Food banks, soup kitchens, charity shops are always looking for volunteers, it doesn't take any study to get into, and it would probably be quite fulfilling to know you are helping a community.
idk why you think you " waste " your 20's, there is no such thing as " waste " your 20's, 30's or 40's..there are a lot of people that didn't even make it to 30 or gone to prison on their 20's for 30 years and more and here you are saying that you waste it. just don't..be grateful that you make it to 30 and experienced your 20's and just live on
@@jacobl7451 In the end everyone dies life is meaningless even while you're alive. There is nothing I want to change. I would want my parents to live longer than I do because I love them so much.
Im 32 also and a girl and being a woman my clock for getting married and having kids is running out which is a concern for me....Im gonna waste some of my 30s playing the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster I - VI, all the Star Ocean series, all the SaGa series and Dragon Quest
Hi I just found you channel. I'm moving to South Korea because I'm tried of living and working my mundane life in America. I dont really have a plan but I really want to try this because I feel like it's something different from the way I'm living now. My daily life now consists of me working a 9-5 I dont like and coming home and playing Valorant. I'm embracing this change and I'll take your advice and learn a skill to help future me.
Time spent having fun isn't wasted. If you wait too long you won't be able to enjoy anything. I think there are so e really strong arguments for enjoying life when your young
The irony in this video speaks volumes, atleast daniel can own his so called failures and reconginse that he should have invested his time and resources into something that's benifiting him now, make no mistake there are millions of people from all different walks off life who have really wasted their 20s, 30s, and 40s and they haven't even come to realise this, you will complete your quest in life eventually bro good luck! you're already half way there with acknowledging this trust me.
Daniel when did life first go wrong for you? I’m being genuine when asking this to. I feel like you have been through a certain thing that has made you feel this way about life.
Damn after listening to this I am thankful that I have learned a few trades and found a mentor has helped me out so much in my life hope you don’t end up wasting your 30s now that you’ve acknowledged you’ve wasted your 20s
It's never too late to turn your life around and make something of yourself. At least your self aware. Don't make the same mystakes you made in the past. I hope you make the most out of your 30s and figure things out. It all starts with you.
Hi Daniel, I haven't leave a comment for the last couple months because English is not my first language and I become lazy to think English thoughts but I want you to know that I still watch your videos and enjoy, hope you continue to upload
We all feel like we wasted our 20s. and i wont share my story, but its much worse than yours believe me. and you still look very young dude cmon are u serious? Youre lucky, just keep on for the future.
I am 26 and I was very smart , creative and active when I was like 13 to 17 years old , I was such a happy driven soul , then the depression came and I gave up on everything till this day , I just kept studying to stay living with my parents , just keep doing something at least and it's going to university , this year is my last and I hate to face the reality with a depressed exhausted soul , but I realized that this is very bad abd wrong abd needs to change , I can't lose more time since I already did , I have no skills/career .. and I haven't even enjoying life in the time I wasted , I hist started to get mentally abd physically ill It really hurts when you had and still have time that most people don't , but your brain was/is dead along with the soul .. it doesn't matter if people are 17 or 39 or 51 .. years old , people would be either happy or sad and sometimes for just how they spent their time not how much they make
You didn't completely waste your 20's. You entertained us on RUclips the whole time Dan. Don't let the hard time your dad had working deter you, all jobs aren't like that. You have a great voice & great drawing skills. Make good use of both.
Also everyone is fulfilled by different things, therefore success is different for everyone. Some people live off grid and sell wood/crops, some people live in 50 story apartment buildings, some people have 75 cats, etc. ALL of them feel happy and successful. There’s no right way to life. & Happiness doesn’t pay bills but it’ll bring you peace when you’re old. You’ll know you did what you wanted to do! Bills will always be there. Life is bigger than that. Ok I’m done ranting lol
YOU ALREADY HAD A SKILL MAN, TO BE HAPPY IS TO BE CONTENT OF SIMPLE THING, WE FILIPINO MOSTLY ARE POOR BUT WERE HAPPY. MAYBE TRY COMING HERE AT THE PHILIPPINES.
Whatever you are doing in life, give it your 100%. If you're going to drink, drink in moderation(always) honestly tho I'd recommend not drinking at all, don't chase women instead develop and build your life. Have fun but also have a goal. Most importantly, don't let a wom*n ruin you mentally.
I dont know how many times should I tell this guy that its ok to not know certain things, but here is daniel saying I will probably not even try to know those certain things. Unless and until you will not try you won't get the results daniel. YOU WERE PRETTY GOOD IN JAPANESE THEN WHY DONT YOU WRITE AN EXAM AND GET A CERTIFICATE AND TEACH STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD ?
MAN IM 36 AND IM LIKE YOU, I ALSO THINK I WASTED MY YOUTH, BUT IM NOT LOSING HOPE BECAUSE I HAVE GOAL IN MIND IS TO HELP PEOPLE AND SHARE WITH CHARITABLE ACTS, MAYBE TRY TO BE RELEGIOS, THERES MCGI/ANG DATING DAAN, MAYBE YOUL FIND AN ANSWER THERE TO YOUR QUESTION. LIFE IS WORTH LIVING IF YOU KNOW HOW TO SHARE IT. LOVE IS THE ULTIMATE REASON OF LIFE.
Ffs stop talking past tense all the time. You’re only 32! If you’ve got regrets then it’s not too late to do it now. It’s clear you won’t be happy anyway but in Japan. So start learning Japanese again. Then go to Japan and become a English teacher or translator. If you don’t do it soon then you really will be a 52 year old telling stories.
Humans have created societal norms that we all live by. There’s also the competitive social media beast that controls everything. It’s hard to live life not comparing yourself to other people. Ultimately you have to think of it as you’re running your own race. One day you may develop your own game, etc. and become successful financially, then you will say “I wouldn’t change a thing about my past. Everything happens for a reason.”. Just give it time. You’ll figure it out, and you’ve already had luck with RUclips. Don’t downplay your success either. Good luck.
At least you’re aware. I’m on my late 20s now and while I could’ve made better decisions I do feel proud I tried. Now I work remote and in IT. Though entry level o feel my life is finally starting now that I’m making better money, can travel and have more life experience to not duck up.
1. japan is still closed 2. no one wants to make videos with me (even the new girl changed her mind) 3. chihiro was the only one willing to be part of the channel
Excellent you have come of age. These Online games horses for courses but for me a complete detraction from reality and every second spent there a waste of precious time.
No you didn’t waste it, you have a RUclips channel with lots of subscribers and not everybody can do that. You have fun in your 20s that’s pretty normal . I’m in my 20s and I haven’t really had any fun, but I am trying to get time to post RUclips videos and hopefully gain subscribers like you do . Cause RUclips is such an easy job. You just have to have good Content and work hard etc.

I wasted my 20’s too, got a useless degree and taught abroad in Japan making low wages for like a year then in South Korea and moving back stateside just to work at Amazon which I still work there now into my 30’s. I am trying to turn it around by going back to school for an actual career, by becoming a nurse.
Jesus
The only thing I can say I had better than Daniel was that I actually made a good chunk of change in crypto but not enough to change my life or anything. Otherwise I think Dannyboy is complaining too much that his life is shit when it really isn’t bad.
@@FlansyLinny what was the degree?
English degree with minor in Japanese. Taught English with it for awhile but damn it was not worth it. Luckily it only cost me 20k total for 4 years so I paid it off.
We all die. Memories are overvalued. When you're dead you can't appreciate your loved ones remembering you. And those memories die with them too.
We are all, factually, wasting our lives.
Its the sad truth. It is true within 60-80 years time none of this stuff even matters because for the people that are in their 20's 30s or older would have died and then life becomes pointless and meaningless. We can't change it. At this day and age immortality is not possible.
comments seem to be quite sympathetic on this one, i think if you look past all the hate you've got a decent amount of people who genuinely care about you. we want to see you do well and figure life out danyo
You didn't waste your 20's everyone else is wasting they're time on earth chasing a "good job" or just a job in general so the can spend the rest of they're life working and making the rich people richer. And that's what the people in control want. They make us work our whole lives and make us chase the things THEY tell us is valuable when we are supposed to come to earth and enjoy and experience life on earth not working our whole lives. You just have to figure out a way to beat the matrix and never forget to enjoy every moment on earth. Enjoy the planet, enjoy loved ones, enjoy love, give love and nothing else. Be happy!
cope
Fuck making so much money. I want to enjoy life and work sucks
Alternative lifestyles have gained a lot of traction. Like people living in RVs/vans full time and working a low-stress job and able to save tons of money. Especially for those with remote jobs.
This^. People who chase “status” (how they appear to others) are the empty hollow people with nothing to show for their life. Never living their own life, but simply catering to the society built by others
@@vihodanyet facts bro if it don't make you happy don't do it! And that goes even to following the matrix and working a 9 to 5! Live your life, every moment of it
You are great at drawing and narrating. I’m sure there is something you can do with those skills.
Definitely narrating. That’s what I’m drawn to. (See what I did there) 😊
I really liked this vid Daniel, your humor comes out perfectly here and the self reflection + admitting to probable fate just hits perfectly
A lot of celebrities and magnates didn’t make it big till their 30s and 40s. Everybody has their time and their path.
LOVE IS THE ULTIMATE REASON OF LIFE.
8 years Later : How i wasted my 30s
8 years after that: how I wasted my 40s 😂😂
I was much happier being broke and just coasting through life than I am making a lot of money and being independent. Having my own place. Car. Bills paid. These things don't make me happy. A girl can make me happy if they love me. Video games can make me happy. I don't care about goals or accomplishments. I live life to be happy each day. And not having time to play games cause I'm working all the time is making me so unhappy. Being single made me unhappy. So not the best year.
This is terrifying. I never thought I'd see myself in 10 years(22 now). I've been out of the school system(more like didn't try) for 6 years now with nothing to show for it and am currently serving the military. I know this isn't gonna last and even in the military I catch myself exactly playing the same video games on the same dating apps trying to catch the same high on a weekend or form connections. Extremely afraid of trying something new if the possibility is failure. In the sincerest way possible, thank you for making this video. I don't think you're the sad case you portray yourself to be but this hits home hard. Putting this video on daily watchlist for sure and remind myself it isnt too late to make a change
I had to stop watching the video because I’m 33 and on the same boat. Couldn’t bare another second 😭😭
I kinda wasted my 20s too welcome to the club Daniel :P .....
30's club is a milestone. Gratz for making it til now.
Early twenties, mid-twenties kinda gave up on all ideas that hit hard I'm mid-twenties, and being confused would be an understatement.
Very mature and insightful video Daniel. Getting old is a scary thought for me as well. You have to remember Change isn't linear. It take a while to start new positive habits. You will probably fail like everyone does. You have to start with Iittle steps and eventually bigger steps. I believe it takes 20 days to start new habbit. Here's a plus of getting older, you will now have a sexy bald tinder pfp. Rooting for you Daniel. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely makes me feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one that has experienced life this way, thanks dude!
Hopefully I'll do something more fulfilling but games are definitely fun.
It’s never too late man. You need to have ambition, that is what drives me. I’m getting close to my late 20’s now and I am still getting my stuff together. I am not married yet, but I have earned a college degree, and I am currently in the military. Most of my friends from college are now working great jobs and making much money, but I am still setting my life up. I realized that no matter the age, that is okay. I am 26 and 32 still seems pretty young. That is more than enough time to get a degree, a good job, and build a family. Anyone who feels that they wasted years of their life needs to realize that there is still an opportunity to build your life up. Some people don’t get their big break until they are in their 40’s. The best thing to do is to realize that you can’t waste anymore time and to have a goal to work towards. For me, video games also helped me. I always saw the main character in the games and thought how I could be like them and be the main character of my story. Like I said I am still building it up, but it is never to late to start that. Take the Matrix for example, Neo was 37 when he first entered it, and he didn’t have a wife or kids and worked a boring office job before that. It’s never too late.
I have some advice for you - I'm 30 now. I spent my 20's going to and from a self improvement mindset back to nothingness pleasure seeking. I found getting rid of my xbox helped, and spend more time doing stuff outside.
I understand what you're saying, but at the same time, you went through the death of your father, married, divorced, lived in new countries/places, worked, learned a new language, visited interesting places, worked on this RUclips channel among other things. You haven't wasted your 20s my friend. You just lived.
I don't regret chasing girls or travelling at all but fuck me dead the hours I wasted on cod and league of legends, if only I spent a 10th of that time in the gym or doing a night class.
True, games like those are real time killers. I sunk in so much time in dota, and for what? Instead I started learning to code and my God is life so much better.
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. And tbf probably one of the biggest wastes of time in life is commenting on this channel. No judgement I'm here too 😅
I'm 19 years old and I'm glad I'm watching this so that next year I won't take my 20s for granted.
Dan I have found a new lifelong goal. To survive until I can play games in full VR on neuralink. An isekai rpg, where every npc is powered by a complex lifelike ai.
Almost 26 and never had a relationship or kissed a girl. Depression and anxiety robbed me of my youth. You’re still doing better than me
After this video I Feel uplifted.
I'm 32 half Asian just like you and I decided to work in an oil changing station. I love Japanese cars (sometimes italian) and I'm sure you know the ドリフト scene on the streets at night. 1 year in I now am doing tune ups, brakes and courtesy rides for customers. It makes me money and honestly it's made a man out of me. I too have utterly wasted my 20's and hence! I've stumbled onto your video. If I can do it you can do it. Get into a Judo club that's where my self discipline all started. You can do it just try it I swear on my life 頑張って
I think most people reflect and think on how they didn't live up to their own expectations. To me, you traveled, got married, learned Japanese, developed a RUclips channel and learned about videotaping etc, learned about Visas, dealt with your dad's death, divorced, learned about yourself, grew in your nutrition knowledge, learned about marketing your My Only Fans, and learned how to invest. Your marketable skills: art/computer graphics skills, language, marketing/sales, technical computer skills, ability to travel. You could be your own boss and set your own hours and not be an ant but make a company where you can consult with others (perhaps Japanese people) who want to be a RUclipsr or develop their My Only Fans page or advice on investing, marketing or technical stuff like video editing. Or, you might join Metaverse and live in there.
Maybe, you could do something fairly easy, that also gave your life a level of purpose..? Food banks, soup kitchens, charity shops are always looking for volunteers, it doesn't take any study to get into, and it would probably be quite fulfilling to know you are helping a community.
"If i don't try at anything then i won't be able to fail" Damn, you just opened my eyes to why i never try. Thanks for the free therapy session.
idk why you think you " waste " your 20's, there is no such thing as " waste " your 20's, 30's or 40's..there are a lot of people that didn't even make it to 30 or gone to prison on their 20's for 30 years and more and here you are saying that you waste it.
just don't..be grateful that you make it to 30 and experienced your 20's and just live on
exactly. “Wasting” is just how we choose to think of something.
@@jacobl7451 In the end everyone dies life is meaningless even while you're alive. There is nothing I want to change. I would want my parents to live longer than I do because I love them so much.
I’m 24 and I am exactly what you were at your age
were do u live in uk?
Don't you worry Daniel, you still have your 30s to waste as well.
Im 32 also and a girl and being a woman my clock for getting married and having kids is running out which is a concern for me....Im gonna waste some of my 30s playing the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster I - VI, all the Star Ocean series, all the SaGa series and Dragon Quest
Playing JRPG's sounds like a great time to me, wasting years or not :)
I have wasted way to much time on social media
Hi I just found you channel. I'm moving to South Korea because I'm tried of living and working my mundane life in America. I dont really have a plan but I really want to try this because I feel like it's something different from the way I'm living now. My daily life now consists of me working a 9-5 I dont like and coming home and playing Valorant. I'm embracing this change and I'll take your advice and learn a skill to help future me.
my mum's husband was in the same situation as you and he went to college in his late 40s
Time spent having fun isn't wasted. If you wait too long you won't be able to enjoy anything. I think there are so e really strong arguments for enjoying life when your young
The irony in this video speaks volumes, atleast daniel can own his so called failures and reconginse that he should have invested his time and resources into something that's benifiting him now, make no mistake there are millions of people from all different walks off life who have really wasted their 20s, 30s, and 40s and they haven't even come to realise this, you will complete your quest in life eventually bro good luck! you're already half way there with acknowledging this trust me.
Daniel when did life first go wrong for you? I’m being genuine when asking this to. I feel like you have been through a certain thing that has made you feel this way about life.
i think at age 23 when i failed JLPT lvl1 and gave up on my japanese studies and decided to chase women and S-x
@@HidingInMyRoom1989 you should have banged out more anki and netflix.
@@HidingInMyRoom1989 that isn’t really life going wrong is it? you gave up.
Daniel, I wasted my twenties too! 😭😭😭
Nah... that can't be true 😎
I can relate so hard with everything he said including seeing my dad worked hard his whole life and not getting much
I'm near 24
The ending made me laugh lol. For real though, are you finding the new Battlefield fun? Not sure whether to buy.
You're looking young for somebody who is 32
dude you got 100k subscribers and speak Japanese well. and age is irrelevant when you still look 20. don't be so hard on yourself.
LMAOOOO FRRR dude is stressing over how he wasted his 20's while he still LOOKS 20, he still has time to start over like wtf 😂😂
Damn after listening to this I am thankful that I have learned a few trades and found a mentor has helped me out so much in my life hope you don’t end up wasting your 30s now that you’ve acknowledged you’ve wasted your 20s
Don’t look back in anger
You don't need to waste your 30's. Technically you didnt waste your 20's you lived life. But you cab live more productively in your 30s.
It's never too late to turn your life around and make something of yourself. At least your self aware. Don't make the same mystakes you made in the past. I hope you make the most out of your 30s and figure things out. It all starts with you.
Danny we know you thanks to your videos, so in some kind you did not wasted it.
30 years ? Thought you were in early 20s! :o
I’m 28 and feel like a loser too.
You are one of the persons that definitely didn't waste their fucking 20s
The hard cut to him playing battlefield and the caption saying "wasting my 30s..." Made me burst out laughing
Not being the ultimate narcisist would help.
I it it might have been John lennon who said "time is never wasted as long as you enjoyed wasting it".
your still making good yt videos thats something, most ppl couldnt keep a channel alive this long
Hi Daniel, I haven't leave a comment for the last couple months because English is not my first language and I become lazy to think English thoughts but I want you to know that I still watch your videos and enjoy, hope you continue to upload
You didn't waste your 20s. You built a youtube channel with steady audience and ability to talk to yourself in front of them for hours and hours.
FACTSS like wtf is this guy talking about he ain't wasted his 20's at all 😂😂
We all feel like we wasted our 20s. and i wont share my story, but its much worse than yours believe me. and you still look very young dude cmon are u serious? Youre lucky, just keep on for the future.
I am 26 and I was very smart , creative and active when I was like 13 to 17 years old , I was such a happy driven soul , then the depression came and I gave up on everything till this day , I just kept studying to stay living with my parents , just keep doing something at least and it's going to university , this year is my last and I hate to face the reality with a depressed exhausted soul , but I realized that this is very bad abd wrong abd needs to change , I can't lose more time since I already did , I have no skills/career .. and I haven't even enjoying life in the time I wasted , I hist started to get mentally abd physically ill
It really hurts when you had and still have time that most people don't , but your brain was/is dead along with the soul .. it doesn't matter if people are 17 or 39 or 51 .. years old , people would be either happy or sad and sometimes for just how they spent their time not how much they make
In the us or Canada?
You didn't completely waste your 20's. You entertained us on RUclips the whole time Dan. Don't let the hard time your dad had working deter you, all jobs aren't like that. You have a great voice & great drawing skills. Make good use of both.
Also everyone is fulfilled by different things, therefore success is different for everyone. Some people live off grid and sell wood/crops, some people live in 50 story apartment buildings, some people have 75 cats, etc. ALL of them feel happy and successful. There’s no right way to life. & Happiness doesn’t pay bills but it’ll bring you peace when you’re old. You’ll know you did what you wanted to do! Bills will always be there. Life is bigger than that.
Ok I’m done ranting lol
YOU ALREADY HAD A SKILL MAN, TO BE HAPPY IS TO BE CONTENT OF SIMPLE THING, WE FILIPINO MOSTLY ARE POOR BUT WERE HAPPY. MAYBE TRY COMING HERE AT THE PHILIPPINES.
do u have any advice for the youngers who are watching u ?
Whatever you are doing in life, give it your 100%. If you're going to drink, drink in moderation(always) honestly tho I'd recommend not drinking at all, don't chase women instead develop and build your life. Have fun but also have a goal. Most importantly, don't let a wom*n ruin you mentally.
I’m a young person who’d like to give him advice.
I dont know how many times should I tell this guy that its ok to not know certain things, but here is daniel saying I will probably not even try to know those certain things. Unless and until you will not try you won't get the results daniel. YOU WERE PRETTY GOOD IN JAPANESE THEN WHY DONT YOU WRITE AN EXAM AND GET A CERTIFICATE AND TEACH STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD ?
This is the only channel talking about his sad self forever.
MAN IM 36 AND IM LIKE YOU, I ALSO THINK I WASTED MY YOUTH, BUT IM NOT LOSING HOPE BECAUSE I HAVE GOAL IN MIND IS TO HELP PEOPLE AND SHARE WITH CHARITABLE ACTS, MAYBE TRY TO BE RELEGIOS, THERES MCGI/ANG DATING DAAN, MAYBE YOUL FIND AN ANSWER THERE TO YOUR QUESTION. LIFE IS WORTH LIVING IF YOU KNOW HOW TO SHARE IT. LOVE IS THE ULTIMATE REASON OF LIFE.
Well, the good thing is that you're not shackled with student debt, and you have the financial leverage to travel around the worls.
Ffs stop talking past tense all the time. You’re only 32!
If you’ve got regrets then it’s not too late to do it now.
It’s clear you won’t be happy anyway but in Japan. So start learning Japanese again.
Then go to Japan and become a English teacher or translator.
If you don’t do it soon then you really will be a 52 year old telling stories.
playing this in the background while playing lol at 2am to get th efull experience
Humans have created societal norms that we all live by. There’s also the competitive social media beast that controls everything. It’s hard to live life not comparing yourself to other people. Ultimately you have to think of it as you’re running your own race. One day you may develop your own game, etc. and become successful financially, then you will say “I wouldn’t change a thing about my past. Everything happens for a reason.”. Just give it time. You’ll figure it out, and you’ve already had luck with RUclips. Don’t downplay your success either. Good luck.
Wow, I think I last watched your videos over a year ago, how much you've changed.
At least you’re aware.
I’m on my late 20s now and while I could’ve made better decisions I do feel proud I tried. Now I work remote and in IT. Though entry level o feel my life is finally starting now that I’m making better money, can travel and have more life experience to not duck up.
This manga was so goood, when the main character was in Japan with Chihiro 😩
If you are enjoying your life and are doing what you like ,you are not wasting it.
Zzz I miss the old Daniel what happened to the story arcs between u and ur ex, the doll, your "guy friend" arc... Zzz
1. japan is still closed
2. no one wants to make videos with me (even the new girl changed her mind)
3. chihiro was the only one willing to be part of the channel
Thanks the video realy teaches us alot on what we should do as young people
Excellent you have come of age. These Online games horses for courses but for me a complete detraction from
reality and every second spent there a waste of precious time.
You are a famous youtuber nothing wrong with your 20s lol
No you didn’t waste it, you have a RUclips channel with lots of subscribers and not everybody can do that. You have fun in your 20s that’s pretty normal . I’m in my 20s and I haven’t really had any fun, but I am trying to get time to post RUclips videos and hopefully gain subscribers like you do . Cause RUclips is such an easy job. You just have to have good Content and work hard etc.
I honestly appreciate the brute honesty.
have you seen bojack horseman? i think you would really like that show
