I love how all vsauce videos are effectively timeless. A 7-12 year old video doesn't feel old at all. Any other video stands out so much if it's like 3+ years old

Oh my god, I would've never guessed this was from 8 years ago. Wow
@@pierreo33 dafuq? There are plenty of movies before the 2000s that aged well and others that aged terribly. That's got nothing to do with what that guy said

I hate watching "cringey" things or shows that have embarrassing elements (a really common thing in many shows for kids and teens) because I always felt so dang embarrassed for the characters, so I usually just left the room. I think that's the main reason why I stopped watching shows entirely, I just couldn't deal with that awkwardness
i feel you on this. there are very little shows i enjoy bc i think everything is cringe
Reminds me of how horrible Americas got talent is
it happens most frequently to me when im reading embarrassing situations, reading them makes me want to throw the book across the room 😭 i usually just end up having to take a small break b4 persevering
Reading this comment making me cringe uncontrollably
@@Skadi.- im cringing rnrnrn
To me feeling awkward is the inability to face ourselves as imperfect. We seek perfection in order to be loved by others. That is the biggest error a human can make. We are absolutely imperfect and we need to learn to laugh at ourselves and voice it out to others. It's good medicine.
Good point 👍
Ion think it's that deep
@@laurencereynolds7626 it is
@@laurencereynolds7626it is a complex subject
I really wish I could just act like a normal human being
I can tell how awkward people behave around me, and that makes me consequently awkward. It's gotten to a point where I wonder if it has anything to do with my appearance
"What is awkwardness, and who is the main character of the universe?"
that escalated quickly.

Well, technically., according to what we learned in the video: Yes, that is actually true XD

I didn't even feel awkward at that comment, I just thought, 'Typical Vsauce"

You guys have group chats?
How’s that awkward?
"it effects all of you." is he saying that it doesnt effect him and he is the main character of the universe
LOL
1:00 ..or walking down an excessively long hallway and seeing someone you know on the other side. Then pretending to look around like you didn’t see them instead of stare at them the entire time you’re walking down that hallway.
Gets me every damn time and it’s probably the most common thing that I find awkward.
You gotta own the awkwardness and greet them from far away
@@shanelefebvre9481that would feel fine to me to with my friends but not my teachers or other people like that ykyk

This could be fixed by simply adding "When the time comes"
I never thought I was awkward until it hit me like a freight train when all my best friends described me as awkward…I had to self reflect a lot that night…😫
Win for you since you aren't the one feeling awkward, you're good at making others awkward haha
May the pointers get the boomerang. That way you're golden.
@fuckingpikachu5695 probably why he's considered an awkward person cuz he's let it go on for so long 😂
The thing with cringey awkward moments is we tend to only remember the things we did, not what others did. There’s only a handful of embarrassing things other people have done in my past that I remember. I’d imagine for most people it’s the same.
Yeah people are just looking at themselves and thinking about things that do and not about other people
Nope you are just the only awkward one lol

Great video. I have depression and anxiety. Sometimes „protagonist disease” gives me social anxiety, but when I’m depressed it changes to “sonder” and I’m feeling like the world with all those complex lives keeps turning around me while my life is just empty and irrelevant to others. I feel like my ideology is changing constantly from one extreme to another.
I know it's been ten months since you wrote this comment but after seeing zero replies I just had to reply to you (I don't really do this often).
Of course we are both internet strangers that barely know anything from each other, like me not knowing the origins of the issues that you are facing currently.
All I know is, that we both feel the same thing.
I've always been a quiet person since the start, but stuff has gotten worse over the years (call it bad experiences).
That thing you said, about the complex lives that are turning around you while your life was "empty" and "irrelevant", I know that feeling too damn well.
You might think, that you haven't accomplished anything or anything worth mentioning, but you are wrong. It just depends on your perspective.
We simply exist in a time, where we constantly worry about achieving all of our major goals as fast as possible.
Something that is flat out unrealistic due to the sheer amount of possibilities that are put on a person (and our interests shifting over time).
And with the ideologies shifting from one extreme to another, that's just social media for you. None of that stuff should take up any more of your attention than it already has.
So as corny as this may sound, just remember that you are the hero of your own story while others are their own as well.
I know this feeling of yours won't change immediately from one day to another, but it will slowly over time if you keep the right mentality up (it's not impossible).
And if you don't think you can do it by yourself, then that's completely fine. Everyone, and I mean everyone needs a helping hand at times, some people can just hide it very well.
Be the hero of your own story, internet stranger! While I try to be my own as well.
(sorry for the long comment)
@@forgottenmemories978thank you. I felt that^^ and that. Needed that
This made me feel better on a really rough mental health day. Getting out of my head and in to someone else's, sitting on a park bench and having sonder for everyone passing by, was actually a big stress. So thank you for that.

If you're reading this, I'm a very small side character in your world.
true, I’ll probably forget about this comment u made in a week & until then, I’ll only remember u as one sentence you formed
Typical of me to get sentimental over a comment as simple as that
@@shovel5526 Same here I guess. But, who knows how many secretly reoccurring characters there are.
im the same to you
At this moment you're the most important character I'm my life
12:27 I think I first experienced “sonder” at around the age of 8. It’s good to have words for these things because then we can actually talk about them rather than having these curious nameless thoughts trapped in your brain unable to be communicated properly.
I'm gonna to watch this everytime I feel awkward.
how many strangers have photos of me in the background? how many times have i been an extra in someone elses life? i ask myself these questions alot
Welp you're currently an extra in my life.
Hello stranger on the internet that I'll never know anything about!! That's pretty weird to think about...
Ari McGuire someone took a picture at a restaurant and i was in the background throwing up

"It's not illegal to sneeze on a bus without covering your nose"
2020:
was just thinking this
*Wait thats illegal-*
@Carl Kirchhoff The funniest.
Wear a 😷 at least
This is sadly true people would literakly flip the heck out if you went on a bus sneezing nowadays
One thing I learned as an awkward kid growing up was that mentioning awkward situations when they arise usually gets rid of any tension from others
i love this video. I have a lot of anxiety about social interactions and a large part of what makes me anxious is the possibility of an awkward interaction. Fully explaining the concept of sonder really helped me out with calming my anxiety about such awkward situations lingering in my mind. Thanks Vsauce!

Ngl, Michael made me tear up with this one, as I have recently developed a horrible fear of what others think about me, and now I understand that they don't. All this from an eight year old video.
Somewhere around early middle school is when I realized that random people in cars passing by on road trips or whatever are seeing me as a random kid too and will never remember me again

I think it's awesome how every single person has their own life story as complex as your own.
Deathshredder58 i think its awesome that beyond our stories and thoughts we are all the same thing but one big communicating plasm of signals
Deathshredder58 here's a good analogy for people
People are like icebergs viewed from the sky, appearing small but in reality are huge and complex below the surface
Deathshredder58 what if it's a simulation and you're the control
i think its cool that even though we are the main characters of our own lives, for others we are just part of their backgrounds.

Michael Scott
Yep,classic michael
I read your comment and thought you were joking.
Frisk
Mario lol
I’ve overcome awkward interactions with pure confidence and enthusiasm. Making myself comfortable with it eventually helps the other person overcome the awkward feeling.
Being confident in our awkwardness, while also looking down in submission to the social order of things (etiquette, being normal) helps reintegrate (welcome) ourselves into the social ranks.
It tells other people you want to work together, and that you're mostly innocent. All of which conveys trustworthiness. Owning who you are with confidence and not running away from it, be it social errors or failing, is key here. People who aren't confident seem untrustworthy, because they look like they're hiding something by not owning who they are, what they say, or do. Which could be malicious.
There's a spooky skeleton inside your body right now copying everything you do.

I can't believe I used to watch these videos in middleschool and high-school. Vsauce really provided the foundation of a lot of my beliefs and understandings about the world. Truly wonderful. Thanks, Michael.
Great Video. Even though it takes a lot more to "overcome" awkwardness than knowing about these concepts, it really made me think different about social interaction. Next time I feel the "pain", I will have that in mind. Thanks!

this one is a classic conversation killer
VSauce giving all the examples at the start, but he missed the biggest one:
Waving at someone you thought was waving at you
I am the type of guy who intentionally fucks up handshakes with my friends just because I think it's funny.
I do the same thing haha
I've been in that handshake-Fistbump dilemma way too often. Last time it happened I shook the other persons fist.
FarHowling try to use handshakes for first impressions or your boss or for formal occasions, use the fist bump for friends. Its also easier to stick to one type instead of changing.
I usually make the decision that we are adults and we will shake hands. If they go for a fist bump I just say, "nah, shake my hand." so they're wrong.
The best way to avoid that situation is not to change. If the other person goes in for a fistbump and you go in for a handshake, most often both of you will change. If you put out your hand, just keep it there and let the other person shake your hand.
where I am handshakes are standard when in business or meeting acquaintances and colleagues. Even among friends we greet with a handshake-to-hug or a standard handshake to backpat or standard handshake.
Fistbumps are dated and impractical (usually miss lol) so they're rarely used in my area. Go for the Handshake, less awkward
Never experienced it myself. I have, however, experienced high five-fistbump mixups. And those tend to get awkward, no matter how much you try to joke it off. :p
Why doesn't school teach us like vsauce does.
because most people only become teachers because they are too stupid or lazy to get a good job with their degree
daniel117100 well then i will become a teacher
daniel117100 More like they dont want a different job because they would rather just have an easy job. Despite what people might think the job of a teacher is actually quite easy. You just repeat what you already know, you dont need to work to hard either physically or mentally. The only downside is that kids can be shits but just like patients at the doctor or people buying at the shop or getting a taxi etc. Basically in most jobs you encounter people who will make your job harder/more annoying from time to time
+Adrian Pawlik I'm currently in high school and I can't understand why they get paid for the extremely little they do
+daniel117100 Well the bad ones yeah... But the good ones they deserve more money. They work harder than they need to for their pay just so we get good grades that allow us to earn way more than they ever will. I have a huge amount of respect for good teachers. The fact they work harder than they need to for our benefit is so generous.
I was about to comment that life gets instantly better when Vsauce makes new videos just seeing it is 8 years old video. Great stuff.
Quality videos as always Vsauce never disappoints

Ha, way to go Michael 🤘
This is the video I randomly needed recommended to me the day of my interview for a new job.
I was on a plane once where I, the aisle seat, and the middle seat arrived before the window seat. A man approached and pointed at the seat with a hook where his hand probably was, and asked, "mind if I get in there?" Of course, Middleseat and I got up quickly and I stepped back far enough for Middleseat to also step back while standing in front of me. The amputee reached down to pick up his carry-on but was struggling to pick it up so Middleseat politely asked,
"Do you want a hand with that?"
I somehow successfully fought the urge to let out a laugh by looking away; nobody else seemed to realize what Middleseat had just said but I thought it had to be one of the best-intended awkward comments I've ever heard. Windowseat just quickly replied with a "Oh no thanks, I've got it." as if he, the only person on that flight with a hook for a hand, had been offered a metaphorical one. To this day, as far as I know, I'm the only person on that flight who was able to appreciate the poorly-timed punnery that took place but now you, RUclips viewer with an vastly complex life of your own can share a scene where I was an extra in my own.
That ending gave me an existential crisis what the fuck
What the fuck did he ask? I have to know
not sure what you're asking, fren. the whole story is in the original comment--or are you referring to the video?

13:15
normal person: "It makes all of us look small"
Michael: "It makes all of YOU (mortials) look small"
"You can't wear pants made out of molten lead."
Well, there goes my Friday night.
I wanna see what your weekends are like

@@ezman-vn8zy clowns, peanut butter, and hardcord acts of intimacy that would cause God to shutter?

Me: time to sleep
Brain: heres some cringey stuff happened last year
OMG so true so true so true so true
its alright, if you remember a cringe moment it means you have developed as a person :)
@parpanbacyrcym well true. it also depends on that person
Mine sometimes goes for the classics, from 5 years ago 😀🔫
@@Reality_Gamer_2 tf are you on about you git
I realized while Michael was explaining things that he’s such a good actor!
1:39 I think that the list of all possible behaviors could very well be infinite. There are various named infinite sets that still have limits on them. Limitations don't necessarily imply finiteness.
In theory, yes. But infinity doesn't exist in real life and since behaviours are an element of real life they are finite.
*me flirting with girls* “hey can you take this nasal spray please”
Ryan's Rants Just say ”Hey Vsauce Michael Here”
@@masken8355 Oh my god 😂😂
This comment is so underrated tho 😂
Or offer some mdma :) less awkward
I thought your name says Ryan's Pants for a sec there...
When he showed the clip of Biden, I knew he was a time traveler.
TashaZ123 how?
Creepy joe has been molesting for ever
Yes Joe is pretty creepy, but what does that have to do with time travel?
this was the comment I've been looking for 😂
trump has 25 allegations against him so yes trump is creepy as well just look at his 'locker room talk'
I’m beyond impressed that I searched “Sonder” and this was my first result. Furthermore the preview when I hovered over it showed the part of the video where you talk about sonder.
I'm rewatching all of his videos and have been amazed at how many facts i know and remember come directly from him
What is awkwardness:
First, lets talk about *speed of light*
¿ .

Awkwardness is having the same profile picture as the guy on top of you
*Just remember this:*
*You're unique*
*Just like everybody else.*
That basically means that we're not unique.
@@cloroxbleach3936 r/wooooooooooooosh...
If everyone is unique
We are all unique
But unique means we are different
We are all different
And have that in common
And now my head hurts *_what have you done_*
@@CC.07 Exactly!
Why It? Yup
Realizing that everyone has a life as complex as me doesn’t make me feel small; it makes me feel happy I get to be a part of a world that is so complex.
It’s really freeing to know how many possibilities are out there, and that your life has so much potential because every life has so much potential and you will bounce off of countless people who can make your life new and better and different.
Sonder is something I've thought about for a very long time, but I see it as a beautiful thing. It should fill you with joy and wonder.
