I'm 31 now and I actually feel like I am emotionally aging in reverse. I started out as a very shy, reserved, studious child. But as I get older I'm a little more confident and free with myself, and have found patterns of passions that I enjoy, as well as ways to fit new hobbies into those passions.
Haha I'm currently the "shy, reserved, studious child" at 17.. Since my birth. Maybe one day, I'll truly be myself. At least, your comment gives me that hope ^^'
by meeting extraordinary people in ordinary situations i've learned going out of your way to find people of same interest as you and feeling kind of little near theme is way more valuable than being the best at what you like in comparison with people who do not understand it p.s: blueberry muffins are revolutionary fight me
I think the diagnoses you are talking about is 'Dyscalculia' it is essentially dyslexia but with math, It is very much real, you can get an official diagnoses form an educational psychologist/special ed teacher. I am Dyslexic and I was only "officially" diagnosed at 18 (it was suspected before that), It is definitely worth getting a diagnoses even later in life as it is affirming for the self, there are also help for adults with learning differences like for example for my driving theory test I was able to get extra time, under special circumstances
Is writing 12 instead of 21 or frequently calculating something like 12-8=2 out of nowhere, despite doing all the other calculations correctly in the same line, something people with this disability do?
Sometimes, I'm not sure. I never gave it a thought until now. I always thought it happened from exhaustion or my brain shut down whenever I was under pressure or sad. Maths was actually my strongest and best scoring subject. I have a hard time copying people's movement/words or mimicking them. Do you have it too?
@@CrestialWintersmith I definitely understand you! But you got this :) Just livelife the way you want to, and it'll be fine ^_^ There will alwaysbe people around you, unless you tell them not to.
When you said in ten years’ time, you’ll be 30, I realised just how young you are!! Twenty is still super young and I don’t think it sounds like you’re becoming an old man! Everyone gets annoyed and who doesn’t like a good blueberry muffin?😋
Thank you so much for opening my eyes on this.I never thought that me being somehow annoyed on people that I perceive as loud can actually represent somehow a part of my growth.That's a really interesting percepective.I would actually like to add up the fact that we acknowledging their behavior represents to a certain extent something that we see in us.For example, the fact that we know that 'They are loud because they think they are heard' shows how much we want to be seen and heard too.That might be a part of that we judge harshly,that we want to change(even though we are so called 'social animals').I know those ideas might be considered 'clichés',but sometimes using 'clichés' can actually help yourself to understand who you are better. With all that being said,I wish you improvement and to discover and reinvent yourself with everyday that is passing by.Have a lovely day(Ps.You've got a Romanian fan😁)
This is so relatable, when I was young I wanted to be that cool adult who's fun and laughs but now in my early 20s I feel like I'm more weird and grumpy over the time. That desire to be extraordinary faded away and I'm now basic but I still believe my dreams are different and my will to achieve my dreams gives same energy when I was little. I feel alive and young. So all in all thank you so much for doing this and speaking your thoughts. I really felt comforted 💜
I started to feel old too giving up my long time dream and surrender to my life choices ahead. But, for some reason, I fail every time giving it up. Although, I've never achieve anything relates to that dream, of becoming a videogame developer.
I’ve always thought that I was just dumb and slower than most people. I got so frustrated by how difficult math was. Having to check my answers a million times, cause the numbers would just get mixed up. I started to hate math and just went “fuck it” during my entire high school years. But yeah, turns out that I might have math dyslexia. Although, I'm still trying my best to overcome that.
He’s like quietly funny. He doesn’t seem funny when you look at him, but when he talks he’s so natural and casual about it that it takes a bit to pick out what he said, then you realize that he is cleverly funny.
Haha, your channel is always such a good place to watch a character change over time. I always find it funny that we come to the same conclusions regarding life, it is quite refreshing. I am in STEM and for a while I was all about difficult formulas and eternal knowledge. But just like you, I realized that those ideas might not be as worthwhile as I initially thought. I think people get grumpier as they get older because they stop being curious. They have experience with life and know the most-likely outcome of situations, so life can easily become monotone. I tend to believe that curiosity keeps you "young", or at least mentally. When I sit on the bus and kids are yelling, I start to wonder - was I like that before, without realizing? What are the differences between them and me at the same age? Why is the noise annoying me? Am I becoming an old grumpy lady? I find those ideas fun to look at, and even old situations are fun to look at - you never know, new answers can show up.
I'm a lecturer in statistical and empirical work at a small university in Germany who sucked terribly at math and still does. There are two things that I want to share regarding to what you've said in this video. 1. When I started teaching I often had similar grumpy/annoyed thoughts regarding the behavior of undergrad students. Internally, although I never showed it, I was expecting too much. I thought they should know better at that age and the standard I secretely judged them by was way off! Then I started to remember how I myself was behaving during my undergrad studies. I didn't inform myself about deadlines etc., mostly went with the flow and was procrastinating a lot, I wasn't "better" than them at all. Now, that I have reflected upon it, it helps me a lot to be closer to the students and their needs. I hope I'm doing a good job. 2. I started to hate math in about 5th/6th grade because I didn't understand it. I then developed a strong defense mechanism and felt anxious whenever I had to calculate anything. I was afraid of even minor tasks such as giving change when our class was selling cake and beverages at school events. I guess that's partly because I had friends who were really into math and didn't have any difficulties with it, I simply couldn't compete. Now, that the environment has changed and I am able to approach math in my own tempo and with intrinsic motivation, I eventually started to see the value in it and really enjoy it. I had never thought to ever get involved in math again, but here I am teaching statistics. Math isn't math and the world isn't black and white. Aging is useful if the time passed is reflected upon.
I know its not related to the video but it is so hard to find people who have similar interests as yourself, you don't really get that connection, and end up feeling kind of out of place.
I'm excited to be a grandma and tell all my grandkids about my life and laugh at little things and lavish my grandkids with knitted sweaters and baked bread.
Oooh boy I can tell you: when you turn 30, you'll look at these 20 somethings who feel old from experiencing the first big breaks with childhood, and hopefully you'll laugh at how green and prickly they still are. Tween angst ("grumpiness") will make room for a mood of "why so serious" and "aint nobody got time for that". I don't dare imagine how silly we look to 40-somethings.
True, our (Canadian) postal codes are weird compared to others, but don't worry too much. If you screw the postal code, big chances are it won't match with anything and then they will go with the street address. I already wrote a completely wrong postal code to a friend, and it got delivered after 5 days of delay.
Ahaha so many laughs throughout this video because I can relate and I'm also here in Melbourne and get the places you're talking about 😂 I definitely had moments of 'these kids are so annoying 🙄 shut up, we don't care'. I was 19 nearly 20, just changed uni degrees and going through a terrible flare with lupus. I was starting from square one again and thought 'my time' had come and gone and now I'm on the bus and have to put up with this sh!t lol. I really thought I was old! This year I'll be 30. Mentally, I'm feeling younger and the old grumpy moments don't happen that often. Sometimes we just have to stop and check ourselves and our thoughts. Why am I so irritated at these teenagers? Is it actually because of them or is this just triggering me and I'm feeling insecure and upset about something else? Although, sometimes they can be rude and disrespectful... Anywaysssss, not sure if that made sense to anyone 😅😩🤔😬
The same thing happened to me when I was in school. They did a series of tests and they said that I had math dyslexia. It felt horrible to fail tests because of basic algebra problems or because I changed the place of the numbers, no matter how hard I tried. And I relate a lot to the example you gave of double-checking; it is quite a pain of the neck in the daily life. At least we choose careers that don't need a lot of those skills haha
dyscalculia is very real and you can get a diagnosis, I had mine when I was 14 by a psicopedagologys (in spanish is psicopedagogo), that diagnosis helped me with my national examinations since I had to get a different exam in math
Hey mate, your transition story is delightful and refreshing primarily because it is observational rather than whiny (which is more common). I hope the process and outcome of this phase would be part of a character you'd write/create. I've read very little throughout my life as an academic student primarily because put reading on a pedestal. In the process, I'd done the same to readers, at different degrees. To see you who is an avid reader demystify a perceptual myth with a relatable, reassuring tale is a key reason this video's going to, for me is my esteemed favourites playlist. Thanks and cheers. P.S. I know this could come across as cheeky, opportunistic, or irrelevant but let me know if you need an intern.
Actually these stories are kinda cool keep it up. And yeah you feel like an old man who tells stories 😂😂 btw age is just a number. And old means wisdom 🤣😂😂
Dyscalculia. Common with people with adhd. I have both, live in Canada, frequently send things by post and it is a nightmare. If the envelope goes to where it is supposed to, I’ve probably forgotten to put the letter in.
I think we're the same age (I'm 20) I can relate a because I find myself getting annoying for things that shouldn't be... that annoying? and my sister always tells "eres una vieja por dentro" (that I'm like a old grandma in the inside) but I don't feel old because I know I still have a long way to go learning new things and being more mature, but I do think I'm the weird one, or the annoying one for getting annoyed for some things
RC Waldun....how could you?! i went to triennial and i WAS NOT thinking about what was in the cafe because i had already been to the cafe prior and had mac and cheese that had neither mac or cheese (it was penne??) so i was very happy to indulge in the art. also i cant exactly verify that young people aren’t getting crazier. regardless the mathematical dyslexia sounds like a nightmare and i hope you find a work around soon.
What if we are just shifting priorities to what is wise for us at the time, yet still consider ourselves to be young at heart? Staying in touch with the inner child can be important to creativity and happiness, especially when we are technically much much older so I hope to never lose that perceptive muscle. Great story Walden. We should consider one of the key fundamentals of life: change. Remember that it comes with paradox (life is a mystery) and humor. -Dan Millman’s Peaceful Warrior
Hey..I highly recommend you read these three books if you haven't..I laughed and cried with them "the kite runner ","a thousand splendid suns","and the mountains echoed"
i really was looking at this video like "oh i get that getting old is weird aha" and then he said that hes turning thirty in ten years and my eyes damn near popped out of my sockets sir please dont tell me thats old i dont want to be old
Question: Did you have butter with that blueberry muffin? (: and also the mathematical dyslexia that you are speaking of may actually be "dyscalculia" it is a learning difference in math and there is research on the subject.
I've got the same thing with numbers. Dyscalculia. I feel I've gotten better as I get older (I will always hate math though) but I completely get those mini struggles in life. For me, recently the worst is that everyone in my country now uses a payment method that it's connected to their phone number. So if I need to send money to someone (or worst... get paid myself) all I have to do is typing a phone number in the app..... but of course, if I type it wrong I'll be sending that money to some random stranger with no refund possibility... or If I type MY phone number wrong they will send MY money to some random stranger instead of me .... But Oh, who would type a simple phone number wrong, right? it's just so easy... (!) ...... Oh, the anxiety! 🙃😂
You will all turn old. We will become over nostalgic and rant more. To quote Blackadder “ I want to be young and reckless, then i want to be middle aged and rich then i want to be old and annoy people by pretending to be deaf.” I’m 45. The first two have passed me by. I’m jumping straight into old and annoying. And i hate all your bloody music.
I watched one of your videos from 2 years ago about your switch from physics to literature. Just wondering how you became interested in physics then when you have “mathematical dyslexia”? Couldn’t see how that’s even possible. 😮
Great video! May I ask you a question, is it hard for you to do both writing and college? How do you cope? Cuz I’m graduating from school this year and university seems frightening
Dude. Dyscalculia. It’s legit. Had a similar experience in college. Freshman year my advisors were like… do you have a learning disability? Your entrance scores are high in everything except math. To the point that it was brow-raising worthy. Math is awful.
I listen to you, I watch your videos - and I have to say, I've developped this huge crush on you. Platonic, of course, since I haven't seen you in person, but only heard you talk - but I am simply in love with your lifestyle. We have a lot in common - I'm nineteen, I study English Literature and Swedish Literature (two different study courses at the university in Kraków in Poland - literature, learning these languages and connecting with the culture) and I also write and am really into dark academia. Well - I don't really know what's the point of writing this comment, but I just wanted to tell you that you have some twin soul on the other side of the world. Didn't mean to romantize it - just happened. Love your content, keep going!
Why not eat muffins in the gallery cafeteria? You're title reminded me of The Importance of Being Earnest, a play in which muffins play a prominent role.
If they diagnosed you with Mathematical Dyslexia it may not be that it may be Dyspraxia. Definitely worth talking to your doctor about as it isn't often spoken about.
Well... The fact that you become someone you were convinced you won't be is sad... I guess all you can do is to spend your youngest years the best way possible
Hah, this was great to watch. I had no idea you were Dyscalculic! I am too and I feel like, unlike dyslexia, such few people know or talk about it so it was nice to hear someone mention their experience. I've noticed that people who are math impaired often tend to excel in writing and reading. I've always felt like my brain was more wired for words than numbers. Also, despite not liking math what made you want to go to school for engineering?

I don’t think “being reserved” necessarily means your not confident

The first two have passed me by. I’m jumping straight into old and annoying. And i hate all your bloody music.
Which uni is he at?
I watched one of your videos from 2 years ago about your switch from physics to literature. Just wondering how you became interested in physics then when you have “mathematical dyslexia”? Couldn’t see how that’s even possible. 😮
Finally I found a diagnosis that fits my life long struggle: mathematical dyslexia.
And again: Thank you!
You might have already read the other comments, but it's called dyscalculia and you can get an official diagnosis!

Thank you for your comment, Nessa - I was over-hasty!
You are not ‘basic’ Sir Walden
i love you 😭
Great video! May I ask you a question, is it hard for you to do both writing and college? How do you cope? Cuz I’m graduating from school this year and university seems frightening
You are just amazing🤩
watch him becoming the most jolly person in his 40's
20's is the new 40's ya'll
Okay but why did my childhood math issue just click into place when he said mathematical deslexia 🤯😭🤣
Dude. Dyscalculia. It’s legit. Had a similar experience in college. Freshman year my advisors were like… do you have a learning disability? Your entrance scores are high in everything except math. To the point that it was brow-raising worthy.
Math is awful.
Maths dyslexia (called dyscalculia) is a totally legit thing! It pretty much works like normal dyslexia but with numbers in some people :)
I understood it.
What if Delirium from the Endless made you think that?
I listen to you, I watch your videos - and I have to say, I've developped this huge crush on you. Platonic, of course, since I haven't seen you in person, but only heard you talk - but I am simply in love with your lifestyle. We have a lot in common - I'm nineteen, I study English Literature and Swedish Literature (two different study courses at the university in Kraków in Poland - literature, learning these languages and connecting with the culture) and I also write and am really into dark academia. Well - I don't really know what's the point of writing this comment, but I just wanted to tell you that you have some twin soul on the other side of the world. Didn't mean to romantize it - just happened. Love your content, keep going!
This, imho, is some serious (short?) story content. I would read this
This is a reading of a little short essay collection I’m working on. :)
the audio is kinda low
but great video as always
Mic is kind of far away from me in this vid. Thanks for the feedback!
Bro you need a podcast
MUFFIN!!!
Hey robin
The "mathematics dyslexia" is actually a real learning disability called Dyscalculia!
Bukowski would be proud
Idk what to say, i am too early, so hey😂😂🙌🏻
Why not eat muffins in the gallery cafeteria? You're title reminded me of The Importance of Being Earnest, a play in which muffins play a prominent role.
9:25 okeyyy so it's true then ,
I was wondering myself about that ,
We're turning into THE GRUMPY PEOPLE huh .
It's happening then .
the video title reminds of that twitter bot (@conceptsbot)
“...some of the worst nights of my entire life” - you have obviously had a sheltered life.
👍👍keep up

If they diagnosed you with Mathematical Dyslexia it may not be that it may be Dyspraxia. Definitely worth talking to your doctor about as it isn't often spoken about.
It's dyscalculia & it could be treated
Where is the Muffin? so we all can get older together
the intro hhh
Well... The fact that you become someone you were convinced you won't be is sad... I guess all you can do is to spend your youngest years the best way possible
This is water.
Hah, this was great to watch. I had no idea you were Dyscalculic! I am too and I feel like, unlike dyslexia, such few people know or talk about it so it was nice to hear someone mention their experience. I've noticed that people who are math impaired often tend to excel in writing and reading. I've always felt like my brain was more wired for words than numbers. Also, despite not liking math what made you want to go to school for engineering?
Have you always been a good speaker, or did it take time? I would have been on my 50th "um" and "er" by the end of speaking in that video.
Did someone say muffin?
I think I just found my new crush
