- In this off-topic video, I discuss a very important subject. Want to know the secret to having success and attaining your goals in life, whether those goals are professional goals or even spiritual goals? Stop being negative. We as human beings have negative states of being that must be acknowledged and then destroyed.

I freed myself from being around negativity. I do not watch any news, as it is all negative.
Giving up TV was the smartest decision I ever made.
@@DistroTube As for me the second smartest decision after giving up TV was to give up Facebook and Twitter. Mostly Twitter )
@@dabuge Definitely give up Twitter. They shove negativity down your throat with their algorithm tbh.
@@DistroTube 2006 for me. The LG 46 plasma makes a cool monitor ;-)
All TV stations seem to start the news with tragic stories and at the end they briefly mention some happy news like an afterthought.
Biggest source of negativity is news and social media. Stop gossiping and backbiting, you'll feel better
Proof in point: I deleted my Twitter account in August 2020, started a new job in November 2020. Things were going well. I deleted my Facebook page in January 2021 and today I was told that I need to look at getting into a higher paying position with the company because I was told I'm valuable. So that made me feel good today. I'm going to look into other positions with the company this week. Crossing my fingers!
If we all shutdown the tv, then there is no virus.
Indeed. If you find yourself obsessing over the lives of people you've never met, then you probably just need to invest in a few good hobbies - and spend more time caring for the people who are actually close to you.
@LeBarde Especially if you don't have a rich social life, facebook/tw/instagram are just full of shit when you understand what they are but in youtube you actually see some real people
@LeBarde Time spent on RUclips is easier to reduce, as we are somewhat anonymous(unlike FB) and there's no incentive to comment (unlike the karma system on Reddit). My tip is when you open RUclips, open the Subscriptions Tab not the Home tab(where you'll usually go the rabbit hole of Recommended Videos
When Derek faces the camera, we know it's a serious video
Ah yes therapy session with matrix as the background.
Yes. I find this really peaceful and more motivational than motivation speakers. Maybe it's his relaxing voice.
And a guy with the nerv logo 😂😂. All joy.
Yeah, I wasn't sure if I should lie down on the couch to watch this or pop some popcorn. :)
blue pill or red pill?
You already live in a matrix 😉. You thought it was "just" a movie? It is a documentary.
Yup, "self-projection". The girl who thought I was always cheating on her turned out to be cheating on me. Shocker.
Sorry man.
@Allen Ellsworth Are you saying what I think you are saying?
@@DistroTube Depends what you think I am saying. 😂

@@gustavomariz7769 I know I should be ashamed of myself.
This is why more people should learn to be more stoic and understand that while you can't control the world, you can control your reactions and emotions with effort.
If buddha were alive nowadays, he would definitely use linux
God bless
Whenever I start feeling influenced by something negative, I do something to lighten my mood. Play with my kids, talk to my wife, watch DT and other "tech skills" RUclipsrs and learn something new.
Take that energy and try and redirect it into something positive.
Gave up social media and "news" media.
I now follow tech sites, and real, in-person relationship's.
It's all good!
even with the zombie virus around and about wow dude nice

@@user-ln6bq1gc9t Nothing stops you phoning someone and just chatting with them. I've never understood why people spend more time typing in words in an email or text message when, if they have their phone number anyway, it's quicker to call them and just speak the words.
Anger is sometimes justified. Usually this is when we need increased motivation to protect someone else's rights. Justified anger can help us do what we ought to do. There is such a thing as righteous anger, but it has to be based on correct judgments. Because we are often biased, we should be suspicious of whether our anger is justified. Still, sometimes anger is justified.
I love this. You're right. Negativity winds you up in a crazy circle. With that being said, it's okay to feel down sometimes. We all need to justify our feelings in order to be able to get over them. Or, at least experience them, instead of pushing them away. They are parts of our lives.
I once told my singer friend Stephanie that she is like the sun, her songs warm the earth. For those of us who can't sing, let your attitude or humor warm the earth :)
But did you get laid?
Jk
Very true. As Earl Nightingale said "We become what we think about". A negative mindset creates negative results. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
DT, I don’t really leave comments, but like your video, I just needed to say it, thank you for this.
I practice these ideas and philosophies in my everyday life, but sometimes life gets so complicated and strings you along into such a foreign place without realizing how far you’ve gone.
Luckily my situation hasn’t gotten too far out of hand this time, but man I came for Linux content, and got the kick I needed to step back, and look around again. I was heading south without even realizing it.
Thanks, man. Your channel is truly one of the best on this platform.
I had to get off Twitter a while ago because even the few cybersecurity people I followed would just spit negativity and politics all the time.
So you were followin Mcafee too ?
It’s so important to be aware of your emotions, first of all. You can’t change what you aren’t aware of. It’s also important to be nonjudgmental of your emotions, I think. That’s where I diverge from DT’s position. If you notice that you are feeling angry and then you immediately label it as “negative”, which just means bad, then you will probably repress it or avoid it. I think it’s better to suspend judgement of your emotions. That way, you can deal with them more skillfully. I think there are situations where anger can be functional and effective. As DT mentioned, when someone is harassing you or a loved one, it is not effective to be completely calm and placid. Anger can help to carry you through that situation. I think of anger as similar to fire: if you skillfully allow it to burn in certain situations, and are able to put it out as needed, it can be useful. But if you are repressing your anger because you label it as bad and undesirable, you won’t develop that skill, and the fire may end up burning your house down. Just my two cents on this vital topic.
To expand on this a bit, I think it was Thich Nhat Hanh who advised his followers to treat their difficult emotions (I prefer the term difficult to negative) like their own baby. When we notice anger, sadness or pain, we should give it our full attention and ask, what’s wrong? Why are you here? Usually you can figure out what is going on, and if that emotion is functional or dysfunctional, by taking an attentive, open-minded attitude towards it. I strongly feel that no emotion is “bad”, it’s just how we deal with our emotions that can harm others. I especially wouldn’t want someone to watch this video and start judging other people for being upset about things in the world that are difficult or messed up. It’s not healthy to ignore the suffering of others because “I don’t want that negativity in my life”.
I agree you and know you are right about this.
It is probably DT tried to share his POV's about the topic written in the title and didn't have enough time to touch every possible alternative situations, type of people, personalities etc.
I also touched on a topic via add a possible condition about a situation. After all, ideas multiply as they shared.
@@butterletto I'm just glad we're having this conversation at all! it really is an important topic that deserves more discussion.
Guys, if you like that topic he's talking about, read Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus. Stoicism holds some really great thoughts on how to deal with anger, negativity and expectations. Especially Marcus Aurelius helped me to get out of a very bad and self-destructive state of mind and to reflect and accept others and myself. To keep in mind that anger won't do you any good is an every day challenge - thanks Derek for reminding me, perfect timing.
I'm on the same boat as you, stoicism is awesome.
Fear is the path to the dark side … fear leads to anger … anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering.
I am so happy that you talked about this. I needed this at this phase. I have been having suicidal thoughts and it has been damaging me.
So true, bro. Not watching national news helps, too. Reading books like, the power of positive thinking, helps neutralize some of the negative thoughts.
Damn it DT!!!!! I was angry before watching this video, instant change of mood 😶 from negativity to positivity ❤ love and peace
Negativity is necessary. You can't get anything done with electricity without a negative. Optimism and only optimism is what you see when a drunk says "hold my beer"
Great joke! Hahaha
No dude that's trust. Lol
@Stoner Snek Lady are you sure you're not talking about critical thinking instead of negativity?
@@marcin774 People who think that negativity is necessary has no critical thinking
@@8w73 thanks, I'm aware of this, I'm directing my question to OP
Couldn't agree more. Some people are really into trashin others on social media, hating on everybody and speaking of how bad everything in the world is and we're literally all gonna die tomorrow. Instead you might turn inside yourself and try to become a better person, or achieve something, or just make your life a little happier...
Hey DT! First of all, I wanted to thank you sharing this video which is about a really important issue concern all of us as you mentioned. I just wanted to add something at 09:51 You said, "you trust nobody because you don't trust you, you think he/she is liar because you are a liar, you think everyone is dishonest because you are dishonest and the other examples... I think there is a different and even stronger reason about people trusting nobody is trauma's (horrible experiences in the past growing inside because of psychological defense mechanism) Unfortunately many people face different kind of trauma's in their past life. They are really hard to fix and causes tough troubles. They affect your whole life like a virus. And if you're in this kind of state; it is really hard to build a relationship, trust somebody, love the world. Simply it is almost impossible to enjoy the life.
I totally agree with you Derek, I'm glad you shed some light on this topic.
You absolutely nailed this one Derek! Well done video and offering a "cure" at the end added real value for the viewer, brilliant. Negativity is certainly a conscious choice. Negative people attract negative things into their lives which starts a vicious circle. Positive people tend to attract good more often. We are the authors of our own life experiences, and as you said - taking responsibility for your negativity will eliminate it. Thus we have the power change the ending of our life's story at any age, any time!
Like and dislike and choosing to be negative are all choices. No one can make you feel anything, you choose to feel how you feel. How you address circumstances and things that come to you are all decisions you make, no one else. Love is a choice and hate is a choice...
This is a really great video, even though you focus mostly on Linux you were actually very well articulated on this topic. Please make more like this!
DT , incredible video. Thanks for putting this out. Stay safe
Thanks, Tim. Hope all is well.
I could think of things not going right in my life a certain stomach hernia I have which has made me feel more uncomfortable. I could think of how I have been mistreated by others or I can think of all the cool stuff I have learned this year. Support from loved ones which I greatly appreciate. That is the absolute thing Derek. It is how we project on to others. I can project positive and still feel negative about things going on I have to fight that because of my situation right now. I grew up (not my parents or siblings) around certain people that would down you because of crying or showing emotions. I hindered me more than helped me to pick up on that behavior. I work thru how I feel but lean more in a positive direction. Heck if im really angry ill play Doom for awhile or play one of my instruments. There are many positive ways to channel energy and I have to be ok with how I feel whatever that feeling is so I can be real and positive sorry for all the input but thats what that made me think of.
Thank You!!
This was necessary
Can confirm all anger seems to be really anger at yourself. Even if it's anger at betrayal or being lied to I'm really angry that I trusted or didn't verify. Anger about an accidental loss I'm angry I put that at risk and didn't plan better to protect it. Etc
@Learn Linuxpretty much exactly. They matter as another human but I can only control myself and they are in some sense just part of the world I interact with.
Hay DT you are very positive....

Do not involve in negatibity.. If you unable to control your emotion, just say "Bye bye, see you later."
Thank you.

Great video!
Really glad I found this one today.
Maybe you should throw these kinds of vids in more often.
Sometimes people are negative because they are physically in pain from something that ales them. Speaking from personal experience I suffer from chronic back pain. I try not to effect others with my negative states that I'm suffering, but you have to remember there maybe something about that person you don't know and you shouldn't be so quick to pass judgement on others. "Hence the comment about old people being more negative"
Love the video! Thanks for the advice.
Not gonna lie, the advice on mental health and well-being I get from Linux / FOSS RUclipsrs is a new thing I'm very happy to delve into. Thanks DT, great video.
Thank you for your time ❤️
Social media has divided our country worse than anything I've ever seen.
It causes people to be anti social. When I'm in a group of people,
they're all on their phone. I used to strike up a conversation in
waiting rooms, but now it's not possible.
Negativity: it's.. it's infectious
I agree.
I’m fundamentally a cynic, but I definitely hold the view that you can be cynical and not negative, it’s possible.
I’ve never used TV all that much, I own one for streaming but it hasn’t been turned on in at least 3 months, I deleted the News application from my phone and all my news now comes filtered to what I feel is good for me to see, from who I feel is good and reliable, direct to my RSS reader in standard text.
I’ve never used mainstream social media, it’s only Mastodon and IRC etc. Much less toxic than FB and Twitter in my experience, plus I have little interest in supporting the latter anyway.
Exclaim at negativity, you get positivity.

Already live by this. Good advice. Good video.
"You are making you negative" -dt
A very interesting topic and very thought provoking. Nice one DT
Thank you. 👍
Thanks for making my decision more stronger. Wish I can meet you in person.
I have a lot of trouble with negativity, really. I feel like I can't do much about it but accept it.
Mostly agreed. Especially the responsibility for yourself bit. However, I'd like to add that, when near or at the bottom of that success hierarchy, it is incredibly difficult to get out of that negative mindset. Not only are your very aware of your position, unless you are delusional, you are also the negativity outlet for most of society. And as you say, negativity is contagious. It is also hard to cure when you're constantly exposed to it. Speaking from my own experience, of course.
"When someone dies they are regarded with more respect and social standing because they are no longer competing with us"
Okay I will just sit and question everything now thanks :o
Apropos video for the times, nicely done Derek. The stock market analogy really made me think.

thx for bringing it up
Hey DT, it's been a minute since Ipve caught you this early.
Be well my dude.
Thanks for talking about this bro, I respect and appreciate you and your work a lot. For me what helped the most getting out of it was getting into stoicism, I still struggle with it sometimes anyway but getting there. One thought that always come to mind is not trying to change others but trying to improve yourself to be the best you can be.
Just curious, was there some recent situation that made you talk about this now?
Btw, I love that Arch mug haha.
Positivity is as toxic as the linux community. That sucks.
for me at least, one the thing that made me 'idolise' dead people more, or to talk about them in a more respectful manner, if you will, is that well, they're dead, they can't do anything bad anymore. Someone like Steve Jobs can't be the one who blew up the world because well, he's dead. But take someone like Elon Musk, I don't like Elon, mainly because I don't share his vision about cars, but I really respect his talent and dedication. He succeeded in many things, but we don't know if he's planning to do some stupid thing that could maybe start an apocalypse or something.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's easier to get a more subjective view of someone when they have done all they could, as in all of the mistakes and triumphs, but when someone is very much still alive and kicking, they are subjected to mistakes, like the rest of us, so it's harder to idolise someone who could on the very next day, make a horrible mistake
I do agree that we tend to give people more respect in their death than when they were alive, especially if they have been dead for a long time, but it's because we don't give them enough credits when they were alive. I'm not going to say that they are all good people, far from it, but they believed in something, and have the will and talent to act on it. These people, whether we like it or not, changed the world and sadly, probably the only people who gave them enough credits were probably their rivals
Yeah, to know something does not (necessarily) mean to act accordingly
@DistroTube -
I set up a new workstation at home and am tinkering with your Xmonad config. I'm really enjoying it over dwm. On a single 32:9 megawide, your config of Xmobar displays twice on the left and right side, so the first time/date is centered. Wasn't expecting it, but actually prefer it. Just wondering if xmobar does this intentionally by recognizing the monitor dimensions. Love your work.
If you are using my xmonad config, I have it launch three instances of xmobar, one on each of my three monitors (1920x1080). So you can play with the number of xmobar instances you need, and you can specify their position and coordinates.
Hey DT, did you change your video resolution.
don't strive for happiness (or sadness), just keep growing and learning and lower your expectation level of others.
don't worry about problems you cannot fix
kindness is it's own reward
productivity will help you feel happy, mistakes are how you learn
don't wait for tomorrow, if you want to start something, do it now
To fight your own negativity, find out the source of it. Much like with a piece of code there can be bugs that will affect any program. As soon as you can find the bug and apply the correct fix all will run better.
If you are angry find what makes you angry and no it is not others they don't create your bugs, you are the only responsible for that.
love everyone as you love yourself
Mostly agree, thanks for the shot glass of positivity on a raging ocean of bulls**t
You hate on GNU, oh wait! Please, get help. I know is hard to see a light when you're depressed, but please take the advices and get help! Getting help doesn't make you weak, doesn't make you less, it just will help you. Get help!
The world needs a culture of love and honor to transcend virtue signaling and political correctness.
There was no such thing as virtue signalling or political correctness when people were just polite to and tolerant of each other.

I think earlier you had a bust of Buddha in your background. That would have fit this video :-) .

I say embrace your anger and channel it to something productive. Let the hatred for humanity fill you with vigor and steel you from those normies who live in blissful ignorance.
I'm 19 and this is deep
Yes. But negativity should not be fought. Negativity is neither bad nor good. At least as emotion. As a mood it could hurt. Actually the ultimate reason is Evolution. It helped our ancestors in the past. Nowadays this can become problematic of courae
From FOSS to therapy, are we (the people in our FOSS community) becoming a stereotype? We all appear so similar sometimes.
Shut up
@@gradientO 😂
Thanks DT people should be more on the positive side as long as we are not talking about AIDS :D Lol
What about it? 😉
Very Buddhist, thanks BoldBudhistDT!
negativity is complete nonsense. people, being the pinnacle of evolution, should discard useless quarrels and bickering and unite, engage in a joint striving for a brighter future
Negativity is bloat. Try happiness instead.
+ mens more. - means less. Old math ;-)
The prospect of having to have to dial 9 for English, ............possibly having to learn chinese language and bow to buddah, ..............spending my tax dollars to support criminals, ............being cancelled,.............learning how to live a marxist lifestyle,................ watching a majority of people lie to my face,.....................etc.,...............just leaves me so full of positivety that negativety has become reality, and a daily routine!!!! ONE CANNOT ESCAPE FATE!!!!
without negativity there is no good drama, how can us deuxchads live like that
Our ancestors knew thousands of years ago that negative people are dangerous. The story is so old they put it in the very first book of the bible (see Cain and Aable). Also, negative thinking is why the democrats chose Eyore as their mascot :-)

??? I just found this channel with great advice for Linux distros and now there's this psych-ish content and I saw the Mozilla blowout about Trump (sry, but that commentary was not well researched, as you admitted). Like, I just don't get it, why not stick to what you're a pro at? And get collaborators if you wanna do politics/psych/philosophy stuff or put in the time to do some reading?
Tiling personalities
This "human condition" is of a sinful nature. The bible, especially in Ephesians, explains this quite clearly. Once I found Jesus, my life became a positive one.

i don't understand your culture here, we don't see us self to be any level of what ever, we look on this as we are all one, and what can i do for US to improve US self.
and being Negative do not improve us, but that is maybe the reason we are one of the most happy countries in the world.
Don't put a price on ever thing as in money, and make it your job to make others to feel better and others will follow your lead and you get a better world.
Yup. DT is not much of a philosopher.
