Listening to music from when I was younger makes me so nostalgic (and I'm not even that old haha). It's nice to feel, but most of the time I wish I wasn't feeling it tbh
Don't get lost in the past but this comment makes me chuckle a bit. It is proves my point I made in other threads. People don't need other people's approval to make memories that last in any era. So many people bitch and moan today sucks, or life sucked after 2009 etc etc... But it's all relative. I had a blast in the 2010s but some people are so hopelessly lost in 90s nostalgia they'll never see it
@@bigbay1159 its about childhood. I was born in 86 so i loved 80s and 90s. Theres a million reason why i love those times more. Both times are good in different ways.
fr it seems like everyone was just happy and living. and it felt like everyone was connected. in this day in age it feels like everyone is splitting up and branching out. like i remember in 2010's i remember sleep overs at peoples houses. watching madagascar or something. seeing a lot of people. people that i don't even know anymore and don't even know if they're still alive. christmas in the 2010's was always a highlight. maybe as a kid you're not as exposed to how the world really is. ignorance is bliss so when you grow up and see things as they really are the magic goes away and you're just living like everyone else is. there's no more waking up in the morning to see what santa left for you under the tree because there is no santa. it becomes less magical. living right now i'm not gonna say it's terrible but i do feel more alone than ever. i don't see as much people as i used to. and i wish sometimes i could just go back to being a kid when it was simple and fun.
@@bigbay1159You know I’ve never really thought abt it like that. You’re right people from the 90s did moan abt how 2010s sucked just like how most us are saying life sucks after 2019. But idk man, honestly the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s seemed like a blast and I wasn’t even alive for the 90s and 80s. Technology was so new and music was a evolving. Technology is always advancing but I feel like we’re just so used to it now that it isn’t as exciting anymore as how new the internet was in the 2000s and 2010s.
I’m 23, and for all you teens out there, I have one piece of advice. When you go somewhere for a few days that you know is gonna be one of the best things you’ll do for a while, (for example, for me, it was a school football tour with my mates, and a trip to Germany with my best friends), listen to 4 or 5 songs only, whenever you have the time in that trip. They don’t have to be songs that u love, and u can do other things while you’re listening. What that did for me was, whenever I listened to those songs in the future, I had such nostalgia. Please, just try it.
"Nostalgia is our brain grabbing hold of who we were even as we're learning who we are and discovering who we want to be" Holy cow that's actually such a interesting way of looking at it though

Sometimes whenever I rewatch a movie or tv show that I liked watching as a kid I feel so nostalgic that I feel like I’ve jumped into a time machine and gone back in time to when I was a kid. Nostalgia is honestly the best feeling that a human could feel.
i've moved so many times with my family and i get connected to every single place we live in. after we move, i start to miss the smell of the house, the music i listened to in that period of time, the atmosphere of it, everything. i've become so attached to so many places that nostalgia has become a struggle for me.
I always felt nestolgic when I remember my childhood memories. My parents always took me out on road trips every month and the world wasn't as toxic as of today. Sometimes when I look back I just wish I could relive those moments but I grew up and my parents doesn't treat me like that anymore.
The world was in fact just as toxic, you just weren't aware. Kids today will still have nostalgia for these times that are so "toxic" because they don't need yours or anyone else's approval to live life and make memories. Cheri's the times you had but a massive issue with nostalgia is falsely remembering the past and white washing it, removing all the negatives that did in fact exist
In my case, the nostalgia robs me of living my current life. I'm stuck replaying my life until I ended high school, before I lost my home, before mental problems, before losing all friends I had. It's not so much that I don't remember how terrible things also were back then, but I remember how I lived to my fullest, even with depression I was going to the forest, exploring abandoned places, driving a bicycle around the city, having people to hang out, having passion and ambition to change the world... Then the adult life hit and showed me how much I was wrong, how the world is just broken and you can no longer be the teenager in your mind. I miss my old self, even though I was toxic and sometimes crazy. The mental problems - they came from the realization of how nothing I thought about my future was coming true. I'm apathic, I don't have any desires, I don't even have the strength to learn and do hobbies. My whole life right now is just seeing my girlfriend, sleeping, going to college and working when there is a task to do to earn some money. I don't have any plans or ideas about my future, I don't know what to do with myself. Even my girlfriend told me it's hurting her that I don't have any plans for summer with her. I have a lot of abilities, I'm smart, yet I never found a good job for myself, my town doesn't have any offers for me other than physical jobs, yet with college I don't have time to work, at the same time I don't have courage to move away anywhere else. I'm afraid of the next year, of what will come. I don't want to spend my whole life just working to have enough money for bills. I don't live in the US, I live in Poland, if you wished to write a suggestion/hint. Sorry for the long message, and probably nobody really cares about this, don't take this as a cry for help. It's my means of defining nostalgia - inability to live today because of how much I miss the old times, school days in this example. If only time travel ever existed, I would just go back to watch my dead relatives once again, even if I can't talk with them or interact, I just want to see my past life again and maybe finally move on. Nostalgia is the curse of being a sentient being.
I think I can understand a bit of what you feel. If I have it correctly you mean that at some point you've just stop living life without a second thought, figuratively speaking, and life becomes...different. What exactly happened when you say adult life hit? Could you tell me that? And was it something specific?
@@danielschouteeten9421 You got it right I think. Mostly it was the last year of high school, when I was about to have the matura ("maturity"/finals) exam. I started panicking about it, about having to work, about not having any plans for life, about how I'm going to be broke. Well - I accepted some of it and I live with my family, being broke most of the time. I had huge ambitions and ideas, I was constantly wanting to build things, but never had funds to buy materials and tools. Now even if I do have some of the tools, I don't have the time or self-esteem to actually do things. I went to study mechanical engineering to be able to create such things, yet it only showed me how unfair, full of cheating the college is, how I won't earn any more money with a degree than without it and how I still have no idea what to do after I finish the degree. I know I can do anything in life, I'm just actually too scared to do so. Scared of not knowing what to do next, and because of that scared of wasting my whole life. I'm not religious, I wish reincarnation was real, but I believe this is my only time to exist and I've already lost about a quarter to a third of it...
@@danielschouteeten9421 together with not having an idea about how to live my life. I don't want this to turn into a therapy session, I didn't come to cry for help or get attention, I just wanted to throw in my own story :)
I'm only eighteen and I'm consumed by nostalgia. I'm on a downward depressive spiral and the sadder I get, the more I long for my childhood. Even seeing kids makes my heart hurt. There's such beauty in innocence - I can't believe that that Christmas isn't exciting anymore. I feel like I've become a nihilist and turning back time would save me because you automatically find meaning in the simplest things when you're too young to know any better. I wish I could live in the present again.
The summers were brighter, warmer, they even smelt different. My friends were all happy, and those summer days lasted a lifetime. An endless source of laughter, and sharing. Exploring new ideas and discovering how amazing the world was. It's not nostalgia, it was the 80's. Arguably the best era in human history.
God damn this episode was just waves after waves of "oh shit THAT'S what I was feeling" and "damn maybe I should do things like that too". 14/10. More than perfect ❤
Nostalgia is like a movie. Our past selves are the directors, who cut out all the bad moments while we are the viewers, the ones who are unaware of the cut outs and only know the good every time we rewatch that movie inspired by something i saw on quora once dont remember where
Being an 7-9 y/o in 2012 sitting on the couch in the living room playing minecraft all day with your best friend while your moms mopping the floor and talking on the phone in the other room...
The times I get nostalgic is when I play old video games, watch old tv shows, listen to old songs, eat old food, see old toys, use old devices, read old books, hear old jokes, drink old drinks, look at old pictures, remember old things, go to old places, play old sports, watch old videos, or use old programs. In "old" I mean something that I expirienced long ago.
I am really going through this, so much that I keep on getting flashbacks of my past that indulges me to waste my time thinking about how good was my past. "i want to go back to my past and live it again" - this feeling leaves me hopeless and aimless for my future and also depressed in my present.
I'm a kinda of person that maybe will always try to be obsessed with nostalgia. Every once and again i remember the good days the childhood days.. movies, series i first watched.. friends we used to always see in colg like 6 years ago but are now in different nations.. damn.. 25 already responsibilites in hand but still way more to learn still clueless about future.. covid outside lockdowns.. 😢 #nostalgia let me live that small essence of life.. God bless everyone. ❤️🇳🇵
A few years back, I had an acid trip that I think saved my life. It was what I could describe as the most powerful feeling of nostalgia that I have ever experienced that lasted 12 hours. It put my current life and the present into perspective while removing all the negativity I have built up until that point. It was a beautiful and life changing experience, and I honestly don't think I'd be here now without it. I am thankful to the person who gave it to me, and was reminded of it by this video.
This video finally let me get out the emotions that I had bottled up about my breakup, bro you are a life saver! Your videos are amazing and I hope you have a good life, man. From the bottom of my heart.
Ah same. Sheesh my brain just loves to throw my abusive memories around in my head to make me cry at night🙃 Or have a full blown panic attack, gotta love the brain🙂
trueee, early in the video he talked about how we filter out the bad memories and keep the good stuff, hence nostalgia. And I'm like, pretty sure I do the opposite haha
Dear my existential crisis, take the day off. Today it’s time for happy nostalgia, so come back a different day. Everyone have a great day or good night.
@Luciano Lorijn surrender to Reality. Surender your intellect to the light of existance. Use the lens of love to perceive the world. Its the solution to crises. I am personally practicing Sufism
Some things that cause nostalgia is moving,losing a loved one/friend,growing up,going back to a video game and thinking of all the fun times you’ve had
It’s a scary coincidence that they posted this on my 8 year anniversary of my first kiss I was having such nostalgia about it like exactly 8 years ago today I had my first kiss probably one of the biggest memories someone can have along with it comes burning nostalgia
Here's the thing. I constantly have the thought that I did something in the past wrong, which I then blame on some of the things that happen to me today. Its confusing but I wish I could go back and possible change that memory and what I did.
There is nothing bad about loving the great times you had in your life. Nostalgia gives us a sense of direction in life It shows us the places and the way we want to be Without nostalgia we are lost in time and space
This is my first time seeing your channel and I instantly subbed. Im only 13 so I havent ever experienced nostolgia but you still had my complete attention by the first word. Your such a great explainer!
YOUr VIDEOS ARE FUCKING AMAZING PLEASE NEVER STOP. YOUR VOICE, THE VISUALS, THE NARRATION. ITS ALL SO WELL DONE. I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO BLOW UP ALL OVER AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love the cyan and orange color scheme going on in this video. The color scheme really adds a lot of artistic value to this video. Good job on making the video on nostalgia mildly nostalgic. You’ve done well.
I miss the people who were alive, that’s what I noticed about nostalgia, I love nostalgia because it feels like they are still there just for a little bit.
One day, even the internet will make us feel nostalgic They’ll say “gosh, I wish I had experienced that” (And I’ll tell them that they really don’t want that unless they like pain and people gettting offended at the smallest possible details they can)
Man U just said what’s in my heart and soul. From 2018 I’m missing those good old days. 2012-2016 was the best days of my life. From 2018 everything became worse. I observed this effect long ago and got depressed. Now there is no joy, no excitement anywhere, dark, silence, people making tiktok videos, kids swearing on their parents for mobile phone or something. Darkness around. Not feeling real these days. This is the only video which expressed my true feelings. I thought I’m the only one who have this kinda mindset. I thank you a lot for this awesome video.
It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one who gets nostalgia a lot of the time. It makes me happy and also sad at the same time that I can’t re visit them days, the friends I used to have, the adventures and laughs we used to share with each other. Even old tv shows like the rugrats takes me back to the 90s when I was a child. A better time when we had no care in the world and everyone was together.

Year ago I was depressed and miss the old days so I watched this video… A year later feeling the same, reminds me of those times and still all the good things in the past 😕
If there was a year I could go back to, it would definitely be 2017. It may not seem like that long ago for some people, but it was long enough ago that it’s nostalgic. I remember back then I played Roblox so much. I was obsessed with Roblox games such as Nuclear Plant Tycoon, Tix Factory Tycoon, and Light Bulb. I have so many memories of these games. We all wish we could go back, right?
This channel is therapy I swear, such a calm voice with no mistakes in speaking , calm melody in the background with nothing to loud, bro I love your channel and I’m gonna enjoy watching your channel grow to join the big ones
I miss playing all my favorite childhood games as a five year old. I miss hanging out with my parents. I miss when school wasn’t so tiring. I miss not caring about time going by. I miss playing with my best friends. I miss my old kids tablet. I miss my confidence. I miss my anxiety free younger life. I miss being a Child. If I could go back to those times I would. I wish I didn’t make those bad decisions. I wish I didn’t argue with my mom all the time. I miss driving every day with my parents. I wish my parents loved each other still. I wish my best friends still talked to me. I wish I could go back. Please take me back. Please! I need to go back to apologize to my mom. I need to go back to tell my dad I love him. I miss my moms laugh. I miss my dads laugh. I wish my mom could teach me how to do laundry again. I wish my dad could teach me how to do multiplication again. Why does life do this to me? Why can’t I go back? Why can’t I let go of the memories I made? Why does everything feel worse now? I miss 2019. I miss 2018. I miss 2017. I miss 2016. I miss 2015. I don’t want to forget anymore. I want to remember the happy memories I made. I always think my parents hate me, but I always forget about how they treated me back then, how they gave up everything for me. I’m proud of my parents. I’m proud of myself. I’m proud of you.

Listening to music from when I was younger makes me so nostalgic (and I'm not even that old haha). It's nice to feel, but most of the time I wish I wasn't feeling it tbh
why do u wish u wasn’t feeling it
@@q.m17 It's a double-edged sword, it brings out a mixture of sadness and joy

Music is a strong stimulator of nostalgia.
yeah, same with video games
I have never been in a relationship but I miss the early 2010s so much, I feel a deep connection with them.
Don't get lost in the past but this comment makes me chuckle a bit. It is proves my point I made in other threads. People don't need other people's approval to make memories that last in any era.
So many people bitch and moan today sucks, or life sucked after 2009 etc etc... But it's all relative. I had a blast in the 2010s but some people are so hopelessly lost in 90s nostalgia they'll never see it
@@bigbay1159 its about childhood. I was born in 86 so i loved 80s and 90s. Theres a million reason why i love those times more. Both times are good in different ways.
fr it seems like everyone was just happy and living. and it felt like everyone was connected. in this day in age it feels like everyone is splitting up and branching out. like i remember in 2010's i remember sleep overs at peoples houses. watching madagascar or something. seeing a lot of people. people that i don't even know anymore and don't even know if they're still alive. christmas in the 2010's was always a highlight. maybe as a kid you're not as exposed to how the world really is. ignorance is bliss so when you grow up and see things as they really are the magic goes away and you're just living like everyone else is. there's no more waking up in the morning to see what santa left for you under the tree because there is no santa. it becomes less magical. living right now i'm not gonna say it's terrible but i do feel more alone than ever. i don't see as much people as i used to. and i wish sometimes i could just go back to being a kid when it was simple and fun.
My first relationship started in 2009. I'd give anything to return to 2009-2011. I'll never experience love and innocence like that again.
@@bigbay1159You know I’ve never really thought abt it like that. You’re right people from the 90s did moan abt how 2010s sucked just like how most us are saying life sucks after 2019. But idk man, honestly the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s seemed like a blast and I wasn’t even alive for the 90s and 80s. Technology was so new and music was a evolving. Technology is always advancing but I feel like we’re just so used to it now that it isn’t as exciting anymore as how new the internet was in the 2000s and 2010s.
I wish I relived all my favorite moments from a kid without me taking it for granted...
Fax 😔 but live for the moments now 🙂
I just miss being a kid again. I miss the 90s so much.
I do too. I miss my parents being young, and not having any cares. Fuck, I even feel nostalgia for the early 2000s.
I’m 23, and for all you teens out there, I have one piece of advice. When you go somewhere for a few days that you know is gonna be one of the best things you’ll do for a while, (for example, for me, it was a school football tour with my mates, and a trip to Germany with my best friends), listen to 4 or 5 songs only, whenever you have the time in that trip. They don’t have to be songs that u love, and u can do other things while you’re listening.
What that did for me was, whenever I listened to those songs in the future, I had such nostalgia. Please, just try it.
"Nostalgia is our brain grabbing hold of who we were even as we're learning who we are and discovering who we want to be" Holy cow that's actually such a interesting way of looking at it though
Reflection is truly key. Humanity should dare to look deep within, but it should also accept that more than mere physical Reflection is required for true, celestial enlightenment.
"Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In Time, all points converge; hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the Universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again."

I love nostalgia. For me, it's an undescribable feeling that gives me warmth.
Sometimes whenever I rewatch a movie or tv show that I liked watching as a kid I feel so nostalgic that I feel like I’ve jumped into a time machine and gone back in time to when I was a kid. Nostalgia is honestly the best feeling that a human could feel.
I don’t like to watch old tv shows and movies from back when I was kid because I like to keep all the good times in the past
Maybe for you but that is clearly an anecdotal experience
Or the worst. I completely agree about the "the time machine" effect though.
i've moved so many times with my family and i get connected to every single place we live in. after we move, i start to miss the smell of the house, the music i listened to in that period of time, the atmosphere of it, everything. i've become so attached to so many places that nostalgia has become a struggle for me.

Nostalgia is good and bad. It's good because you're remembering all the good times, and bad because of the longing to go back to the good times.

I always felt nestolgic when I remember my childhood memories. My parents always took me out on road trips every month and the world wasn't as toxic as of today.
Sometimes when I look back I just wish I could relive those moments but I grew up and my parents doesn't treat me like that anymore.
The world was in fact just as toxic, you just weren't aware. Kids today will still have nostalgia for these times that are so "toxic" because they don't need yours or anyone else's approval to live life and make memories.
Cheri's the times you had but a massive issue with nostalgia is falsely remembering the past and white washing it, removing all the negatives that did in fact exist
In my case, the nostalgia robs me of living my current life. I'm stuck replaying my life until I ended high school, before I lost my home, before mental problems, before losing all friends I had. It's not so much that I don't remember how terrible things also were back then, but I remember how I lived to my fullest, even with depression I was going to the forest, exploring abandoned places, driving a bicycle around the city, having people to hang out, having passion and ambition to change the world... Then the adult life hit and showed me how much I was wrong, how the world is just broken and you can no longer be the teenager in your mind. I miss my old self, even though I was toxic and sometimes crazy. The mental problems - they came from the realization of how nothing I thought about my future was coming true. I'm apathic, I don't have any desires, I don't even have the strength to learn and do hobbies. My whole life right now is just seeing my girlfriend, sleeping, going to college and working when there is a task to do to earn some money. I don't have any plans or ideas about my future, I don't know what to do with myself. Even my girlfriend told me it's hurting her that I don't have any plans for summer with her. I have a lot of abilities, I'm smart, yet I never found a good job for myself, my town doesn't have any offers for me other than physical jobs, yet with college I don't have time to work, at the same time I don't have courage to move away anywhere else. I'm afraid of the next year, of what will come. I don't want to spend my whole life just working to have enough money for bills. I don't live in the US, I live in Poland, if you wished to write a suggestion/hint.
Sorry for the long message, and probably nobody really cares about this, don't take this as a cry for help. It's my means of defining nostalgia - inability to live today because of how much I miss the old times, school days in this example. If only time travel ever existed, I would just go back to watch my dead relatives once again, even if I can't talk with them or interact, I just want to see my past life again and maybe finally move on.
Nostalgia is the curse of being a sentient being.
I think I can understand a bit of what you feel. If I have it correctly you mean that at some point you've just stop living life without a second thought, figuratively speaking, and life becomes...different. What exactly happened when you say adult life hit? Could you tell me that? And was it something specific?
@@danielschouteeten9421 You got it right I think. Mostly it was the last year of high school, when I was about to have the matura ("maturity"/finals) exam. I started panicking about it, about having to work, about not having any plans for life, about how I'm going to be broke. Well - I accepted some of it and I live with my family, being broke most of the time. I had huge ambitions and ideas, I was constantly wanting to build things, but never had funds to buy materials and tools. Now even if I do have some of the tools, I don't have the time or self-esteem to actually do things. I went to study mechanical engineering to be able to create such things, yet it only showed me how unfair, full of cheating the college is, how I won't earn any more money with a degree than without it and how I still have no idea what to do after I finish the degree. I know I can do anything in life, I'm just actually too scared to do so. Scared of not knowing what to do next, and because of that scared of wasting my whole life. I'm not religious, I wish reincarnation was real, but I believe this is my only time to exist and I've already lost about a quarter to a third of it...
@@tomclanys Feeling like you've wasted time is the worst. But other then that, is being scared your main problem? Am I getting that right?
@@danielschouteeten9421 together with not having an idea about how to live my life.
I don't want this to turn into a therapy session, I didn't come to cry for help or get attention, I just wanted to throw in my own story :)
I'm only eighteen and I'm consumed by nostalgia. I'm on a downward depressive spiral and the sadder I get, the more I long for my childhood. Even seeing kids makes my heart hurt. There's such beauty in innocence - I can't believe that that Christmas isn't exciting anymore. I feel like I've become a nihilist and turning back time would save me because you automatically find meaning in the simplest things when you're too young to know any better. I wish I could live in the present again.
I've been thinking about this, the fact that teens and young adults are being born into a world that is gradually starting to get worse.
I’m sad suddenly over the most random things, like an airport or a toy, and my favorite tv shows and movies
Literally got hit by a massive amount of nostalgia while watching and started tearing up. Well done, keep up the good work.
The summers were brighter, warmer, they even smelt different. My friends were all happy, and those summer days lasted a lifetime. An endless source of laughter, and sharing. Exploring new ideas and discovering how amazing the world was.
It's not nostalgia, it was the 80's. Arguably the best era in human history.
Amen!💕
Loool that’s how I remember my childhood aswell. Only difference is mine and was in early 2000s😅
God damn this episode was just waves after waves of "oh shit THAT'S what I was feeling" and "damn maybe I should do things like that too".
14/10. More than perfect ❤
Nostalgia is like a movie. Our past selves are the directors, who cut out all the bad moments while we are the viewers, the ones who are unaware of the cut outs and only know the good every time we rewatch that movie
inspired by something i saw on quora once dont remember where
whenever i get nostalgic it's never positive, it almost always makes me feel terrible and i want to forget and focus on my present and future
Being an 7-9 y/o in 2012 sitting on the couch in the living room playing minecraft all day with your best friend while your moms mopping the floor and talking on the phone in the other room...
Music always brings me back to an exact location and what I even thought at times
3/14/2024 and im nostalgic for that lockdown year... i miss it so much
The times I get nostalgic is when I play old video games, watch old tv shows, listen to old songs, eat old food, see old toys, use old devices, read old books, hear old jokes, drink old drinks, look at old pictures, remember old things, go to old places, play old sports, watch old videos, or use old programs.
In "old" I mean something that I expirienced long ago.
Or smell old smells. That kind of nostalgia is one of the strongest.
@@splashykoy11 that's so true
I am really going through this, so much that I keep on getting flashbacks of my past that indulges me to waste my time thinking about how good was my past.
"i want to go back to my past and live it again" - this feeling leaves me hopeless and aimless for my future and also depressed in my present.
I'm a kinda of person that maybe will always try to be obsessed with nostalgia. Every once and again i remember the good days the childhood days.. movies, series i first watched.. friends we used to always see in colg like 6 years ago but are now in different nations.. damn.. 25 already responsibilites in hand but still way more to learn still clueless about future.. covid outside lockdowns.. 😢 #nostalgia let me live that small essence of life.. God bless everyone. ❤️🇳🇵
This youtube account is criminally underrated
True
Who ever is responsible for that should be fined
A few years back, I had an acid trip that I think saved my life. It was what I could describe as the most powerful feeling of nostalgia that I have ever experienced that lasted 12 hours. It put my current life and the present into perspective while removing all the negativity I have built up until that point. It was a beautiful and life changing experience, and I honestly don't think I'd be here now without it. I am thankful to the person who gave it to me, and was reminded of it by this video.
I am kinda feeling nostalgic during the whole video

You can't have nostalgia when every memory is PTSD. *Taps head

Ah same. Sheesh my brain just loves to throw my abusive memories around in my head to make me cry at night🙃 Or have a full blown panic attack, gotta love the brain🙂
trueee, early in the video he talked about how we filter out the bad memories and keep the good stuff, hence nostalgia. And I'm like, pretty sure I do the opposite haha

Some things that cause nostalgia is moving,losing a loved one/friend,growing up,going back to a video game and thinking of all the fun times you’ve had
According to my YT account I’ve never seen this video before but while watching it, it feels so familiar
I always look forward to your videos, I love watching them late at night because they make me question myself.
4:48 is I am currently experiencing, and the cycle of thought really sucks. Like "hey man I know I regretted so please get this loop out of my head"
It's a comfort to have someone understand my feeling, without any critics.
It’s a scary coincidence that they posted this on my 8 year anniversary of my first kiss I was having such nostalgia about it like exactly 8 years ago today I had my first kiss probably one of the biggest memories someone can have along with it comes burning nostalgia
Here's the thing. I constantly have the thought that I did something in the past wrong, which I then blame on some of the things that happen to me today. Its confusing but I wish I could go back and possible change that memory and what I did.
There is nothing bad about loving the great times you had in your life.
Nostalgia gives us a sense of direction in life
It shows us the places and the way we want to be
Without nostalgia we are lost in time and space
Now that my school is in person again, I have nostalgia for quarantine
Man... This video was so good, I even got a little bit emotional. Every day liking this channel a little bit more

The bluegreen-orange filter is literally so fitting omg
This is my first time seeing your channel and I instantly subbed. Im only 13 so I havent ever experienced nostolgia but you still had my complete attention by the first word. Your such a great explainer!
You can feel nostalgia at any time, you simply have to have a fond memory in which you feel a longing.

It is tricky to get audience a nostalgic feeling,
But this video was successful and made me nostalgic
“Do we exist in time or does time exist in us?”
What a perfect question.
Is there a word for future nostalgia. Or is it just daydreaming, anticipation?
This video makes me even more sad lol. So many things that can't be done anymore so no way to get rid of these "negative feelings"

your videos feels like a good dream you can’t remember
This kind of subject makes me realize “I’m young and I can appreciate the happy times today”
One day, even the internet will make us feel nostalgic
They’ll say “gosh, I wish I had experienced that”
(And I’ll tell them that they really don’t want that unless they like pain and people gettting offended at the smallest possible details they can)

I agree with this so much.
Man U just said what’s in my heart and soul. From 2018 I’m missing those good old days. 2012-2016 was the best days of my life. From 2018 everything became worse. I observed this effect long ago and got depressed. Now there is no joy, no excitement anywhere, dark, silence, people making tiktok videos, kids swearing on their parents for mobile phone or something. Darkness around. Not feeling real these days. This is the only video which expressed my true feelings. I thought I’m the only one who have this kinda mindset. I thank you a lot for this awesome video.
The most satisfying voice-
It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one who gets nostalgia a lot of the time. It makes me happy and also sad at the same time that I can’t re visit them days, the friends I used to have, the adventures and laughs we used to share with each other. Even old tv shows like the rugrats takes me back to the 90s when I was a child. A better time when we had no care in the world and everyone was together.

Year ago I was depressed and miss the old days so I watched this video… A year later feeling the same, reminds me of those times and still all the good things in the past 😕
Smells... for some odd reason they trigger always the strongest nostalgic episodes for me.
Sense of smell is proven to be the most linked to memory :)
If there was a year I could go back to, it would definitely be 2017. It may not seem like that long ago for some people, but it was long enough ago that it’s nostalgic. I remember back then I played Roblox so much. I was obsessed with Roblox games such as Nuclear Plant Tycoon, Tix Factory Tycoon, and Light Bulb. I have so many memories of these games. We all wish we could go back, right?

I miss playing all my favorite childhood games as a five year old. I miss hanging out with my parents. I miss when school wasn’t so tiring. I miss not caring about time going by. I miss playing with my best friends. I miss my old kids tablet. I miss my confidence. I miss my anxiety free younger life. I miss being a Child. If I could go back to those times I would. I wish I didn’t make those bad decisions. I wish I didn’t argue with my mom all the time. I miss driving every day with my parents. I wish my parents loved each other still. I wish my best friends still talked to me. I wish I could go back. Please take me back. Please! I need to go back to apologize to my mom. I need to go back to tell my dad I love him. I miss my moms laugh. I miss my dads laugh. I wish my mom could teach me how to do laundry again. I wish my dad could teach me how to do multiplication again. Why does life do this to me? Why can’t I go back? Why can’t I let go of the memories I made? Why does everything feel worse now? I miss 2019. I miss 2018. I miss 2017. I miss 2016. I miss 2015. I don’t want to forget anymore. I want to remember the happy memories I made. I always think my parents hate me, but I always forget about how they treated me back then, how they gave up everything for me. I’m proud of my parents. I’m proud of myself. I’m proud of you.
and u will always be a part of my nostalgia, this times will not lasts forever
