  • Dr Bob brings you SCP Foundation Euclid Class object, SCP-5056 The Constant Companions Animation.
    Join the DR BOB SQUAD by going to / drbob and become an Honorary Member of the Dr. Bob Research Staff!
    SCP 5056 -A is a hairless humanoid with matte grey skin and ragged facial scars approximating two eyes and a mouth. It possesses no observable physical form, manifesting only in reflective surfaces - displaying a preference for glass, particularly lenses. It causes atomic-level degradation to optical equipment and media on which it appears. It can be seen by all personnel, but only SCP5056 -B can hear it "speak"; it was previously hypothesized that SCP-5056-B was experiencing stress-related auditory hallucinations, but his claims have since been verified.
    SCP-5056-B is a white male human being, 172 centimetres tall with brown eyes and thinning, greying brown hair.

    A physical manifestation of depression, self doubt and insecurity. This is as educational as it is entertaining, while strangely inspiring.

    This is actually great therapy advice, take an issue that's bugging you and personify it and treat it as such as this SCP. Let it 'berate' you with bad/hurtful thoughts but intercept them logically, again as described here. Because otherwise you'd find youself arguing against yourself and creating a positive feedback loop in which those thoughts get worse.

To be fair I'm a big reader and I am a writer so I think that may play a part in why I have a constant narration in my head and I can't shut it off or it could be the fact I have anxiety. Doug could be a metaphor for anxiety. I've noticed people with anxiety issues don't have the ability to think about nothing. Like my husband can literally shut off his thoughts! Like sometimes he just likes to drive in silence. So I asked him, what do you think about when you're driving in silence? He's like oh that's the point I'm not thinking about anything I just kind of shut off my mind for a while. And I'm like HOW????! 🤣

      I'm very uncomfy with the idea that intrusive thoughts and anxiety are in any way beneficial cause that's just not true and while it's a relateable story with a nice happy end the idea of cherishing your anxiety as a path to self improvement is so dangerous.

    • @WiseWordsbyWiki
      @WiseWordsbyWiki Před rokem +1

      @@Laezar1 arguable its not doing that, but is showing a different type of approach to anxiety and intrusive thought, though first:
      Anxiety is actually beneficial, its uncontrolled anxiety that is dangerous. Thomas Sanders (yes, the Vine guy) actually has a series where he interacts with various aspects of his personality and when Anxiety leaves it is pointed out that while he has no fear to start a new project, he also had no self-preservation, care about appearance or fear of dying. Cause anxiety is a built in warning system that makes us double check ourselves, it is the lack of examining the anxiety to see if it is a faulty alarm that is the issue.
      Second, giving your intrusive thoughts a name has been found to be useful as while some find it is hard to argue with themselves, it is very easy to fight back someone insulting you. Philip didn't suddenly develop these issues, the SCP simply voiced them in an external manner which is what he and the story point out is the beneficial change.
      Phillip has no issue arguing with Doug and by extension his intrusive thoughts, because it is a floating head that nags him constantly and that he views as an annoyance more than a source of wisdom.
      Phillip has no issue pointing out to Doug his fears are unfounded for similar reasons.
      This SCP is just a living version of a method of handling intrusive thoughts and anxiety that already existed

      @@WiseWordsbyWiki Obviously not talking about healthy worry here, but about unhealthy anxiety.
      And yeah no, it's not the same to try giving your intrusive thoughts a name than to have an actual entity haunt you. But even then, the issue is how it's presented as a good thing, as if hearing those things was helpful in itself. And that's very much not ok.
      Like there are people in the comments who are litterally saying a friend who does that would be a great friend when it's just plain abuse.
      I understand what the intent is going for, I don't think it's a bad intent, but the result makes me very uncomfortable.

    This is the most wholesome scp I have ever heard of. And may I go on to say though basic and simple the animation is, I can't explain it but the way the animation is done it really brings it to life. Along side the enthusiastic narration of every video. I've always liked SCP, but this channel has never failed to bring me back for more. (well, except for that time period I decided to avoid anything from the horror genre for.. personal reasons.)

    I'm not sure this thing is as wholesome as people think, I think it just found the only person on the planet who could benefit from such psychological torment. I can see how it helped Phillip but if that thing attached itself to anyone else it'd probably drive them to suicide.
    Although.....there is something to be said for the fact that it doesn't speak lies or half truths. Only the anxieties that are already present in the person, so maybe I'm wrong.

      I think the fact that "Dough" attacks when Phillip is in danger or can't be reached reveals it's true nature; "Dough" doesn't want to hurt Phillip, nor does it wants Phillip to end his own life, it just wants to remind Phillip about his mistakes like a brutal exposition therapy.

    An SCP that is much less evil, and more along the lines of self-reflection, demons within us that may not have physical form, but are powerful enough to be important to us.
    That is the difference here. 5056 does hurt us, but is there act as a siren toward our faults and shortcomings. To point out what is wrong and find ironically help us pursue what makes us happy. There will always be hurt. Their will always be strain. Yet for 5056, it is all about overcoming the pain. An excellent choice of SCP, Doc.
    5056 is, arguably, beneficial to the foundation in the same manner as SCP-4205, In the Eyes of The Beholder. Sure it will hurt, but that hurt and or loss was possibly meant to teach us a sobering lesson. In that case, it was telling us we are always our own harshest critic. For 5056, it is about insecurity and pain, but can be shut up so long as we learn to speak up about what we want

Opiates are the only thing I've ever tried that actually cleared my mind and made me feel almost like a kid again but they also screwed up my health so I had to quit those too. But I mean, SCP-5056 _really_ reminds me of what it was like for me to smoke weed... I'm always introspective and conscientious anyway but that just took it to a crushing level.
