Why would anybody want to be a coward and choose mediocrity? Fuck that shit. Get after it

i know it's not Dopamine, it the toxic work environment people work in that drags people down to the point where all they think they can do is watch pointless content on shit like tiktok. i have recently left a toxic work place that was hold me down, leaving me with no energy to do the things i love to do like working on music, its only been about 2 weeks and i've feel so much better about myself and what i can do, there isnt a cant do any more, on top of that i feel and have been telling myself I Can Do Anything.

I’m so happy this guy is popping off. Such wholesome and informative content.

Well they fucked up so how can we also not be fucked up,

I think this resonates a lot with me or others who don't feel like they "fit in" with the world at times. Authenticity is something I really valued and felt I could even detect when I was younger, and I understand why people would have issues with some forms of expression, etc., but I do agree that we could all try to be a little more empathetic. I'm a highly thoughtful and emotive person. I think a lot about what matters to me, and I tend to write essays, and well, on the internet, people don't seem to like to read, even a few paragraphs. I get it. I shouldn't be as wordy, and that's something I acknowledge I can work on, but that's more of a skill issue and less of a personality issue I'd say. In other words, it hurts when I write something that sounds highly emotive or personal to me and someone calls it "cringe" or simply chooses to think I'm being unauthentic or get likes or something. What lead to people just assuming the worst in others, especially those they don't know? People do things for a reason, and I don't think it's fair to assume they do it from any intentionally negative place right off the bat. Authenticity for me is just being able to step aside from what others think or even re-evaluating your own perspectives and biases and getting to your core values, needs, desires, and goals. When that comes out as expression, some may judge, even if it's perfectly okay, ethically and lawfully. It's one reason why people are afraid to dance in front of others but may love to do a funny dance at home when no one is around. It really doesn't hurt anyone, just presents itself as a target for someone to reaffirm their own ego.

What does it mean when i feel numb,as if my mind has stopped working and i hv to make effort in doing even tiniest thing?

I've had a similar insight just recently. My life is based on dopamine, i only realized days ago and i really struggle to connect it to the right things. This is really messing with me, because i have an "avoidant attachment style", which means basically just what i've described with my first sentence. Dopamine is the only thing i "bond" over and i really struggle with emotions, as well as communicating them. I also find it incredibly hard to find my way. Just like seemingly everyone.

The reason is lack of trustworthiness. I don't give false hope or false promises to people especially friends because only one person can be a priority ultimately and it's always a family member. I let people know where they stand in my life and i ask them the same instead of pretending to have deep and personal connection with every friend and deceiving people or telling them "i love you the most" when i have other priorities. Don't pretend, don't lie and don't show more than you actually care. Diplomacy is not the same as Hypocrisy. Be honest also. I've realised that _only i am_ the one who's _responsible for myself_ and the same is for every other adult. No one else is responsible for anyone. I try to embody first; whatever i hope from the world. I never expect, get attached or act entitled. Expectations entitlements attachments cannot control life or people. They don't change a thing anyway! They only control our mood. We don't and we cannot have any right over life or people. We only have right over our actions, intentions, mentality, choices but the good thing is only these things define us; not life, people or anything else. The problem is we humans are delusional and we plan to settle in this mortal world where we aren't even meant to stay forever. Change is life's nature. The moment i understood this; i was able to let go. It is possible to care for people but with detachment. I find 'give and receive' mindset better than 'give and take' entitled mindset. Always remember one thing that each time you expect; you are taking a risk. It doesn't guarantee anything. I always do my best, hope, stay prepared and observe. If things don't go my way then i won't get resentful unlike 'give and take', entitled mindset. I confront calmly and leave if the friendship or relationship is one-sided, or if people are dishonest, deceptive, covertly or overtly abusive, passive-aggressive or give silent treatment instead of being genuine and communicating honestly. Give and receive mindset won't make us a doormat if we know how to be authentic, honest, communicate clearly and say no. And never have unspoken or hidden expectations because this means you are deceptive and lying to yourself and others. If you do people a favour or help them and then secretly expect them to return it then it's not genuine help or selflessness. It's manipulation. It's a tactic that manipulators use to guilt-trip and control others later. _Don't_ help and _pretend_ to be selfless _if you don't want_ to help selflessly or if you have hidden expectations. Be who you actually are. Don't be a people pleaser. If you expect; then tell people in advance before you help them. Be honest and authentic. Communicate with clarity. Never lie to yourself or others. Just a perspective. 😊

I just can subscribe to this mentality. If I give up then I let others down too. Even if I don’t live for myself I have to live for other. If I give up what will stop what’s happened and happening to me for happening to the next generation. I’ve been through hardship. Not as bad as some but more than most my age. I’ve nearly committed suicide and an entire half of my family hates me for who I am. But if I give up. What will stop this from happening to others. If WE give up the NOTHING will change. Don’t fight by their rules. Make your own. Fight for what is right for the next generation. Make them happier than we are because if we don’t. What makes us different than those who abuse us.

I'm probably at the same age as that fella (I'm 23 and live in Europe) sure I can survive perfectly here but quite frankly that's about it, at least it feels like is. The biggest problem I have with that statement is that I agree with this Reddit post so much. Like seriously, what's the point of just surviving. And don't get me wrong, clean flowing water, a roof above my head and plenty of food is an absolute privilege that I'm still greatful for. But aside from that, well, yeah it has already been said. Kind of astonishing reading my own comment here as I was and still am to a degree am an absolute optimist

I recently had a session with my therapist, where my therapist essentially told me that I frame things negatively, subconsciously. At first, I wasn't willing to accept what I had heard, then it hit me all at once. Your mindset is your outlook and susequently, your life. Once I started realizing that I was reacting out of negativity to my emotions, then I could work on reframing them to be more positive.

3:40 and same on the other end, a video game is never going to compete with a book if a book is YOUR standard of what a good experience is, its all personal.

Bring back the era of religion! This is what missing now

I just found your channel. Your content in amazing.

Amazing insight. Shared on Asmongold reddit. Cheers

Came from Asmongold. Very good piece. Cheers from Portugal.

Oh god low child mortality rates being a good thing sounds like a relic from the past. Nowadays i wonder what kind of psychopaths even have children, why would you condemn a child to this dystopia ;-; i wish there were no children around to have to live through this

What I miss is genuine human connection. When I try to move conversations from superficial talk and try to aim at something deeper it’s like people pull away to guard themselves. Either they try to steer the conversation back on «safe topics» or pull out their phone to «show me something» in an effort to prevent building any type of closer connection. My parents nag at me for not having any ambition, or any plan for my life, but they forget that they lived in a time where they could just go out of their house one summer day and meet up with their neighbour friend and give each other their full attention. Human connection, friendships, love, is what keeps life meaningful. Today we have to compete for each others attention, we can easily filter out boredom by just looking at our phone. Accepting the human faults of the person you are dating is not neccesary when you have other alternatives waiting for you at a dating app you can download on you phone. I don’t know about what other’s think, but what I observe around me is young people just begging to be loved, and to give love, but they are just met with a wall of apathy. It doesn’t help that SO expands the room of evil people targeting children, exposing them to exploition, shame and betrayal at such an early age. It makes it difficult for them to be able to trust people and open up afterwards.

A Doomer is what you get when you put post modernism on top of nihilism. I think Gen Z will end up being known as the "Done Eating Schitt Generation". Quiet quitting, refusal to play a game that's stacked against you is brilliant. Stop looking for a job and start looking for work, Gen Z.

No the boomers ate our sandwich too.

Going to be working till you die lol. You mean like every other single generation to ever exist.

Who the f is this guy 😂 Get the f outta here bro Go watch Andrew Huberman And stop waisting your time those bs

How do I train my brain to choose delayed gratification? I find it a bit difficult. Btw I loved this video so much :) Thanks Fads

People forget that some of us arent defined by the zeitgeist of our generation. I'm Gen X and ive been depressed about the state of the world since i was 9. Ecological destruction, endless cruelty and crippling free market capitalism isnt new. Some of us were just more sensitive to it BITD. And if you felt this way in the fucking 80s you were a freak. Nowadays kids bond over their anxiety and depression. It is completely culturally acceptable...which is pure tragedy. Everyone is getting sick bow because we've fucked up our world and culture beyond repair. Im so sick of optimism being the dominate mode of thinking. Pessimism would have prevented endless resource extraction, neo liberalism, etc etc

Realising is the point. Becoming aware that this system has got to go, is the point. I am so proud of you young people. I am also really sorry you are all going through this. You guys are the bringers of the new dawn. I tried to tell people all my life how f'kd up the system truly was. When people were comfortable, it was too easy just to go on being that way. While I not in any way trying to celebrate peoples struggles, I am celebrating more wisdom on this planet, and your generation is a big part of that. We have got to try to help out fellow human being more than ever now, but people have less and less time, less energy to do so. However, hold the line and give when and what you can. I love your video. Thankyou From a 48 year old, generation X.

You kids gotta get over the climate change nonsense, it's a scam that's been going on since the 60's.

“The people whose impact ends up affecting change are those who behave in a way that we would deem irrational.”

Okay but genuently. . .can people stop shitting on gen z for one goddamn minute?

What’s the point in “using your voice” when no one ever listens? Look at the numbers. Things are getting “better” at a snails pace and there is zero chance that the world will become tolerable within our lifetime

From the US side of the pond, I see gen Z and gen Alpha as good people. They're certainly more pleasant than my generation (boomers). I can understand their feelings of despair . Hard work is not rewarded as it was in the past, because we're slowly shifting into socialism in both the US and Britain. Whatever you think about socialism, it doesn't offer any reward for making a heroic effort. Unless you're born to an elite family, you can expect a life of hard work, only to retire at an old age, then die with nothing but debt to leave to your children. The younger generation is not useless, they're smart enough to realize that they are slaves.

Great video but I just want to say your voice is so soothing!

Also: Depends on what type. Dissociative psychedelics, such as ketamine, are amazing. Shrooms? Not as dissociative. Each has its own impact on our neurology. Its fascinating.

As an addictions counselor for a decade and a current mental health counselor: YEP. However, only if 'big pharma' allows it, can profit from it!!! Corrupt does not describe their evil ways.

"The things you want aren't necessarily things you like" Well said!

so you're telling me genZ is even more useless than we already knew they were?

Born in 92 the world was bright back then now it is bleak all my efforts are meaningless but I haven't given up yet whether strong will or foolishness has kept me going and suppressing myself as for the world all I feel is unsightly rage just waiting to boil over I don't think it is just me that feels that way, Because it is Manufactured by the powers that be If I had the power to do so I would turn it all over.

This was just what I needed. Great content. Ty.

Doomers are LAZY BUMBS

It's a sort of domino affect, the more people have given up, the less one can be expected to hold on, and the more work must be demanded to make up for it. There is more to push you to break, and more examples to normalize breaking. I don't know when it truly started, I would guess maybe during the oil crisis of the 70's, but right now it is at the point that Gen Z stigmatizes not falling into such a mindset.

ILY FOR THAT. THANKS FOR THE VIDDD

The more I look at history the more this feels like a repeat of the early 20th century, and just like then radicalism is on the rise

Hey Fads. Miss you making videos man. Not to say you have to make more if you don’t feel like it. But I really enjoyed watching your stuff! Hope your well man

Oof.... falling into avoidance. My heart.... everything you've said is so right and it's exactly what I'm going through

Thanks for info

19:23 oh no not this concept 😫 u do know this "people pleasing" is part of the feature of loniness to install in others to then be alone. Its a sword of perception, its a lable of perception trying to prevent to connect too people. I really hate this word. And its very disingenuous way of looking at it. And its very toxic feature in the wests textbook useage, i dismiss it, i agree on this video and you touched on it but that, who wants to be labled a people pleaser by people that think thats true where the other is trying to connect but the idea installed in other "conclusion" screws that attempt of connection. Yes social media or influencers are bad

I'm a doomer. I have completely given up on the fact that I will ever retire, I will probably work until my job gives me cancer and I die a slow and painful death. I've been trying to get a doctor for 3 years, there are non available. Dentistry is ridiculously expensive, even with my benefits I'm forking over more than a weeks worth of pay. Everyone's fighting, no one can get along, people just hate each other for no good reason, the environment is being destroyed and no one cares, the world is grossly overpopulated, people are so selfish they can't even wait for people to get off the train before forcing themselves on. I have not seen anything that makes me positive for the future.

Once you realize and start accepting that everyone does cringe things and that cringe is a fundamental part of the human experience, you feel less affected by it. At least i do.

Its crazy man, I'm addicted to news and politics than people addicted to porn. I keep stopping and keep failing. From now I'm gonna put a much more sustained enough into stopping this mind numbing crap. Thanks and God bless.

MY TURN TO FINALLY SNAP OUT OF THIS MIND NUMBING B.S. thank you man and God bless.
