I was diagnosed with PTSD after my dad committed suicide (via gunshot). I didn't realize this until now, but whenever my PTSD gets triggered I will just stare into nothingness... like I'm trapped in the horrors of my brain. I understand what these soldiers felt. Of course I could never compare my pain to theirs- but I know what it feels like to just be stuck in trauma. It sticks with you for life man.
I've seen kids with a thousand yards stare in the system. It's really rough stuff. I've also noticed people who suffer from extreme mental illness can have the thousand yard stare, usually lost in dissociation. It's really hard stuff.
That’s called dissociation in modern times. Happens commonly with traumatic events where the brain is pretty much protecting you from really understanding the traumatic shit you went through by either making it as tho you feel your outside your body and that is happening to someone else, completely shutting down, in some complex cases causing dissociative identity disorder formerly known as split personality disorder, amnesia, etc. it can cause that thousand yard stare because in that soldiers head he’s probably not even there at the moment. I personally have ptsd and dissociation from childhood trama but mine presents odd since I don’t stare like that but I go cross eyed and my brain checks out. People with dissociative issues may also suffer them for the rest of their life after trama and not just acutely right after wether because of flash backs or other reasons.
I’m in the same boat with you man when it comes to the ptsd,disassociation. When I just stare my eyes don’t get wide they get more narrow as I just slowly feel myself kinda fading for a short period of time where life’s like a fog till it goes back to normal
@@dragonfist105 people who relive trauma literally see it as a movie in their mind. You can reach a point where you're almost there again - smelling, seeing, hearing, feeling all the things you experienced during your trauma. Sometimes the movie plays the same over and over, sometimes you're trying to change things, sometimes you're there and you oddly feel like you want to be, sometimes you're there and you curl into a ball and wish you were dead.
You can always tell a thousand yard stare because even when they are looking at you it looks like they’re looking through you it’s not something you can replicate
I have that sometimes when I am over stimulated to the max, I sensory zone out and just stare. Luckily my girlfriend and my family recognize that and are kind to me.
for anyone wondering, the last photo is of Italian soldier Corporal Antonio Metruccio, 27 years old, 66th regiment aircraft Trieste, after a 72-hour constant firefight in Bala Murghab, Afghanistan.
Complexe ptsd can do this too. It is when you’re exposed to small, not always obvious abuse, for an a decade plus, like a childhood. It can be innocuous things that for people having healthy exposures as a baseline wont take to heart, maybe set a boundary but they know what’s up. If you don’t it adds up, whatever abuse or big long lasting stress factor it is. Otherwise adhd sufferers dissociate more than the norm. And also if you lack sleep your brain takes microrests. Combine them all if you want to only be there half the time 😒
As someone who has trauma, whenever someone mentions something from my dad or etc i just stare into the abyss and dont talk for like a solid 10 seconds
My dad has those eyes. He was a paratrooper. As a child I thought he just looked stern naturally, it took me being 22 years old and seeing this video to realize that those eyes are the mark of severe pain☹️
My friends grandfather who served in Vietnam told us stories about his tour.. they made them kill babies bro, he mentioned numerous times that the Vietnam war was not a war, it was an act of tyranny by the US attempting to force western influence onto Vietnam and change their government into a democracy. He also explained how he seen first hand, the Vietcong’s guerrilla warfare used against his soldiers. Said he seen a man’s ankle get cut completely off with a machete by a Vietcong who was hiding under a mud bed. Shits crazy bro. He still has that stare to this day.. he shot himself in the head attempting suicide and survived, he’s still alive to this day and is still messed up in the head..
My grandfather used to do this .. we'd try to pull him out of it but when he did come out of it he would be irate. It was sad to experience. He was really just grieving his teenage self having to endure Vietnam. Bless his heart. Miss him all the time.
Your grandpa may have fought in a war the lead to nothing, but he still a hero in my heart, and im sure yours We wouldn't have our freedoms if it wasn't for the brave men and women who have fought for us
@@user-nf9cz2yy3d It depends, but mostly civils don't want to fight. Becouse of propaganda they got brainwashed and then they think there is a reason to fight. Like when Croatia wanted to be independent(sorry if I wrote it wrong). People thought Croatia will be strong with more than 100 000 islands, mountains, forests, long coast etc. Then after war and a lot of people died or got badly injured( without leg or arm). They got nothing from war, just like other countries(Serbia, BIH, Montenegro,...). Edit: All Ex-Yu countries thought they will be strong and better if independent. It was just a big lie. In war, both sides lose, nobody wins a war. Basically, to win war you need to kill that many soldiers to destroy their morale to fight and lack of morale will make them surrender and you "won". I am not from Croatia but I heard from people that were involved in that conflict. In English its called probably Yugoslavian Civil War.

My father was a field doctor in the wars of Iraq in the early 2000s he saw many traumatic injuries and fights. I sometimes catch him doing that stare, just staring into the abyss. He actually wrote a book about his time there. It’s called “code red Fallujah” it’s an amazing book.
My grand father an all his brothers served in different theatres of ww2 . 2 out of 5 came home shell shocked. I love these men an miss them dearly rip sirs
@@Jacksonmoonstar1714 Do a CZcams search on shell shock victims. Look at the videos from world war 1 of actual shell shock victims. This is NOT shell shock. Shell shock is when your nervous system literally snaps from the relentless explosions of sustained heavy artillery barrage and you lose control of your own body movements. It is caused by the subconscious trying to take control of something in a situation where the conscious mind has no control over anything. It takes therapy to recover from actual shell shock to even regain control over your own nervous system and body movements. It is actually heartbreaking to see what reall shell shock can cause a person's own mind to do to their own bodies. Or don't look into it at all, after all, ignorance is bliss. It's really up to you.
Honestly, the guy in the photo doesn't really have it. He's probably traumatized, but he doesn't have the stare. If he wasn't in this context, you wouldn't think much of it. Like if he just got caught off guard with someone taking a photo of him.
Imagine seeing your friend crashed, smashed, exploded or decapitated. Thus shit is tough as hell. And to consider words as: "Your PTSD is not service related"...
@Abe Adams Im white north european. My grandgrandparents were in war against russia to protect our country. They came home and beat their wifes and kids, drank a lot and lived poorly as everybody else. My grandparents grew to adults. Grandma was an agressive alcoholic and grandpa was ok but both never showed love to anybody. They found eachother and had my mother and her siblings. My mother cant talk about her feelings and never cares of us her childrens. She screams at us, threathens us, trows things, has breakdowns and avoids the whole family. Im really emotional person and have a need to talk of my emotions but never got the chance. Now I am the fourth mentally ill depressed woman in my family tree. Traumatic experiences affect you as a person and that affects how you act and treat others. If your mother sang to you, you are more likely to sing to your kids. Is that idea too hard t wrap your head around? Anyway thats what I meant and many people understood it but you clearly seem to be smarter. Nobody here even mentioned money. I do not want that. I just wrote a comment that shows how I see things. I never saw myself as a victim. I believe that by spreading info on these things may help someone understand why they or somebody else acts in some way. When I was younger I never understood why mom didnt talk to me but when I got older I understood her mother didnt talk to her. I wanna be the one that stops this old trauma from affecting our lifes.
There's trauma and anxiety and panic attacks. But the 1000 yard stare is more than that. It's not just hopelessness or anything a regular person experiences daily. These guys saw their friend get turned into mush. Seeing their colleagues spaghettified bodies tangled in trees and barbed wire. Yall need to ✋️
Yup. You try living when a hug gives you fight or flight. It's awful, and therapy only took the edge off. I had to come up with the mental obstacle course to cool down before total panic sets in.
@@HKNative217 no you need to stop, nobody said that it was the same or worse than what you described. I was a victim of abandonment, child abuse, rape, etc myself, and while it isn't as directly devastating as what you described it is still a very real issue, and is the main reason why I was medically discharged in the army. I was assaulted by another soldier and went into a psychotic episode because my mind correlated his violent act with an attempt on my life. I won't go into any more detail but don't try to invalidate people just because what they went through wasn't as bad as watching someone get blown up.
I remember my grandpa telling me he had this friend during ww2 who told him “soon you’ll get used it bud” my grandpa told me his last words was “goodbyes don’t last forever, it’s alright”
My dad was in the army throughout the 90's. He was in Desert Storm, Bosnia, and the early days of Enduring Fredom when he got out. He sometimes tells me about the horrible things that happened in Bosnia. He doesn't do it as much now but he stops moving and stares at nothing in particular.
My last unit was as SF IT support. Some of the most laid-back guys, but every once in a while, you would walk into an office and see one of them setting there, and their face would say, "I am not in right now. Be back later. Do not disturb"
Occasionally, since my partner has come back from Kabul (2021 he came back from deployment) I will see him basically dissappear. He will just stare and you can almost see his mind physically leaving his body. It pains me to watch and I just try to hold him and reassure him that I'm here for him
@@llamasteve8376 I understand that explosions might have upped the gore in war but I wouldn't say "nowhere near as bad". I don't see how having to slit someones bowls open and seeing their guts spill out is any less traumatic than seeing someone lose their legs on a landmine. It would be at least just as bad imo.
It is important to recognize that thisndoesnt only happen to soldiers, but to any victim of sudden trauma like disasters or even medical professionals who have witnessed great deaths.

Seen that shit over and over. I fought in the Russian army during the battle against Georgia. In Russia, commanders and soldiers tend to be fairly close. I was a Lieutenant Colonel at the time. Me and my boys had a shitty dinner and went to bed. That day, we fought the Georgians. They were mowed down with ease, but that’s not to say that my boys weren’t hurt. There was a nobody; Private Ivan. I wasn’t close with him. He just enlisted and joined in with our talks. I sat by each bed, but he was unique. In his last moments, he held my hand. He had bad shell shock and his entire left side was blown out by artillery. He told me: “You’re the closest thing to a father that I’ve ever had.” He died about an hour afterwards, and it still stings today. He may have been a nobody, but that comment was bittersweet. Many more shared that shell shock, and it was just heartbreaking to watch the people I’ve trained die before my own eyes.
Yep. My veteran partner has this. He refuses to sit in silence because of this. He keeps a level of at least 3 or 4 distractions at a time and cannot enjoy things like watching movies. He's done and experienced things that nearly all his peers who've experienced the same have successfully comit suicide by now and as days pass he hears more and more of them dropping themselves. He won't tell me everything but it's better for some things you don't hear
These poor men😢 I hope that one day they’ll be in Heaven with Jesus and they’ll no longer be sad or feel the pains of this world. My heart absolutely goes out to them.
George Carlin did a bit about shell shock and how they soften the words used for it and it ended up making so veterans couldn't get the help they needed.
My dad is a veteran that was in Iraq. Every once in a while (we could be doing absolutely anything), he’ll stop for a few moments. For about a solid minute sometimes, he’ll just start staring at nothing in particular before going right back to normal like nothing happened. It’s extremely weird to witness Edit: For any other morons about to call him a murderer or a monster, read this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Saddam_Hussein%27s_Iraq
Maybe he remeber abu grab prison and how his fellow American soilders rapists raped innocent men and women and children in front their families like sadistic beasts they were.
please, when that happens, once he snaps back into reality, just remind him you love him. also tell him a random guy(me) hopes hes doin good. best of luck
I’m a veteran. And it breaks my heart that my brothers and sisters in the military are mentally broken. Civilians don’t understand what we go through, or what we went through. I’m proud to be a veteran, but let me tell you; not the same when you get out the military
SHELL SHOCK AND THOUSAND YARD STARE ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT shell shock is literally the soldiers mind collapsing due to lack of sleep and the constant sounds of bombs being dropped while the thousand yard stare is when a solider blanks out a lot after seeing something traumatic they get lost in their thoughts even when their getting shot at a good example of both these things is the movie “All Quiet on the Western Front”
I grew up knowing a bunch of vets from different wars and they all but the Korean vet (navy) had the same stare. They seemed focused and unfocused, aware and unaware. Freaked me out when I was little but when I mentioned it to my grandpa who served in the Navy during Korea told me they had seen things that made him glad he never left his boat.
My cousin also barely goes outside unless he’s invited to something nowadays too. I’ve only seen him twice after he came back and both times he was at family functions.

thank you for sharing...I have heard about it, but did not have any tangible examples to go along with the topic when it came up in conversation or in media
I've seen a similar look in cops and fire fighters who have seen some very traumatic event in their line of duty. What amazes me is they can go back to work the next day knowing they may see something else as bad or worse but praying that they don't. Most soldiers came home to jobs that didn't deal with these tramatic events on a regular basis. Our protective service workers like cops, fire fighters, paramedics, coroners, hospital ER workers and the like are even more amazing than soldiers.
My dad while serving over seas had a colleague commit suicide after finding him the soldiers are required to cpr even if they are dead the guy who killed himself shot himself in the head and now the soldier who did cpr has shell shock
My aunt is was in the military and unfortunately due to a very traumatic experience, she had this stare for a long while until she went to therapy and worked through some of her trauma. Props to all the veterans out there, i know it’s hard.
This has happened to a couple vets in my family it's so sad to see it happen but I'm glad the older women in my family and cousins and I know how to walk them back so then it's easier for them to snap out.❤
I used to "zone out" (dissociate) a lot as a kid/teen and can do it on command so that stare is relevent to a lot of things but my favorite is the part where you just don't blink for minutes on end lmao
Also known as White Noise. It would be described as basically seeing more of the whites of the eyes then the actual pupil and iris itself. It has also been a symptom talked about since Homer discussed the Iliad and most likely even before then. In our country alone over 1,000 soldiers were sentenced based on the idea of desertion due to Shell Shock in World War 1 and a little over one hundred of them would be sentenced to death and be executed. Same happened in other countries during that period as well.
Most dudes in my family do this it's fairly normal I usually do it while eating because I'm bored the best I can explain is looking and thinking about what you've done and reliving that moment sometimes I can completely void anything around me it's literally like looking into your own brain
I respect our soldiers for everything they do and feel for them, the painful memories they have to take home with them! God bless our American 🇺🇸 soldiers! 🙏❤️🇺🇸
I work in EMS and have seen this many times. It's so unnerving to witness. In instances where we respond with police sometimes we'll see someone start doing this, if they're standing really still, staring and figiting their fingers they're mind is racing, it can be a warning sign that you're about to get attacked
I've seen this stare from my grandpa's brother. we had a family event and he would stay in the corner on a couch staring around the room at random family members. I looked up while he was looking at me and it looked like he wasn't looking at me, but through me. as if he saw someone behind and the only way to see them was through me. the whole day I turned around seeing if that someone was actually there. I was paranoid.
Not to be a dick, but the "War Never Solves Anything" argument would be a hard sell to recent examples of European Jews, descendants of slaves, the Chinese of Nanking, etc., etc. - don'tcha think?

It’s because they’re not actually acknowledging the world around them. They’re seeing the trauma on repeat in their minds like it’s right in front of them.

My Husband and Father both have this. They'll spend hours staring at nothing we can see, but plenty that they see.
Oh no
what do they see?
@@dragonfist105 people who relive trauma literally see it as a movie in their mind. You can reach a point where you're almost there again - smelling, seeing, hearing, feeling all the things you experienced during your trauma. Sometimes the movie plays the same over and over, sometimes you're trying to change things, sometimes you're there and you oddly feel like you want to be, sometimes you're there and you curl into a ball and wish you were dead.
You can always tell a thousand yard stare because even when they are looking at you it looks like they’re looking through you it’s not something you can replicate
I have that sometimes when I am over stimulated to the max, I sensory zone out and just stare. Luckily my girlfriend and my family recognize that and are kind to me.
In high school, I have the thousand yards stare everytime I see my math test result.

Complexe ptsd can do this too.
It is when you’re exposed to small, not always obvious abuse, for an a decade plus, like a childhood.
It can be innocuous things that for people having healthy exposures as a baseline wont take to heart, maybe set a boundary but they know what’s up. If you don’t it adds up, whatever abuse or big long lasting stress factor it is.
Otherwise adhd sufferers dissociate more than the norm.
And also if you lack sleep your brain takes microrests.
Combine them all if you want to only be there half the time 😒
Don't compare your ahh spacing out to ptsd
@@yurikota2481 I don't even space out, I literally just do this.
As someone who has trauma, whenever someone mentions something from my dad or etc i just stare into the abyss and dont talk for like a solid 10 seconds
My dad has those eyes. He was a paratrooper. As a child I thought he just looked stern naturally, it took me being 22 years old and seeing this video to realize that those eyes are the mark of severe pain☹️
My father was a soldier in the polish soviet war of 1980. Same thing, he hates talking about his "childhood" since he didnt have one
No matter how much respect a soldier gets they need more respect
My friends grandfather who served in Vietnam told us stories about his tour.. they made them kill babies bro, he mentioned numerous times that the Vietnam war was not a war, it was an act of tyranny by the US attempting to force western influence onto Vietnam and change their government into a democracy. He also explained how he seen first hand, the Vietcong’s guerrilla warfare used against his soldiers. Said he seen a man’s ankle get cut completely off with a machete by a Vietcong who was hiding under a mud bed. Shits crazy bro. He still has that stare to this day.. he shot himself in the head attempting suicide and survived, he’s still alive to this day and is still messed up in the head..

Like when Croatia wanted to be independent(sorry if I wrote it wrong).
People thought Croatia will be strong with more than 100 000 islands, mountains, forests, long coast etc.
Then after war and a lot of people died or got badly injured( without leg or arm).
They got nothing from war, just like other countries(Serbia, BIH, Montenegro,...).
Edit: All Ex-Yu countries thought they will be strong and better if independent.
It was just a big lie. In war, both sides lose, nobody wins a war.
Basically, to win war you need to kill that many soldiers to destroy their morale to fight and lack of morale will make them surrender and you "won".
I am not from Croatia but I heard from people that were involved in that conflict. In English its called probably Yugoslavian Civil War.

1000 yard stare is easy to observe because their pupils are smaller. the larger your pupils are the more relaxed you are
Tf? Your pupils dilate to allow more light. Of all the things that have an effect on pupils, relaxation is not any of it… if anything you’re entirely wrong. Pupils would do the opposite of what you said and dilate in times of stress to allow more visual information.

@@Jacksonmoonstar1714 What? This isn't shell shock.
@@Jacksonmoonstar1714 Do a CZcams search on shell shock victims. Look at the videos from world war 1 of actual shell shock victims. This is NOT shell shock. Shell shock is when your nervous system literally snaps from the relentless explosions of sustained heavy artillery barrage and you lose control of your own body movements. It is caused by the subconscious trying to take control of something in a situation where the conscious mind has no control over anything. It takes therapy to recover from actual shell shock to even regain control over your own nervous system and body movements. It is actually heartbreaking to see what reall shell shock can cause a person's own mind to do to their own bodies. Or don't look into it at all, after all, ignorance is bliss. It's really up to you.

@Abe Adams Im white north european. My grandgrandparents were in war against russia to protect our country. They came home and beat their wifes and kids, drank a lot and lived poorly as everybody else.
My grandparents grew to adults. Grandma was an agressive alcoholic and grandpa was ok but both never showed love to anybody. They found eachother and had my mother and her siblings.
My mother cant talk about her feelings and never cares of us her childrens. She screams at us, threathens us, trows things, has breakdowns and avoids the whole family. Im really emotional person and have a need to talk of my emotions but never got the chance. Now I am the fourth mentally ill depressed woman in my family tree.
Traumatic experiences affect you as a person and that affects how you act and treat others.
If your mother sang to you, you are more likely to sing to your kids.
Is that idea too hard t wrap your head around?
Anyway thats what I meant and many people understood it but you clearly seem to be smarter. Nobody here even mentioned money. I do not want that. I just wrote a comment that shows how I see things. I never saw myself as a victim. I believe that by spreading info on these things may help someone understand why they or somebody else acts in some way. When I was younger I never understood why mom didnt talk to me but when I got older I understood her mother didnt talk to her. I wanna be the one that stops this old trauma from affecting our lifes.
No it doesn't. Malignant coping is generational but trauma is not. The science behind it is pseudo at best.
It doesn't always have to be trauma from war... It's all unfortunate and horrible 😢
You're spot on!
There's trauma and anxiety and panic attacks. But the 1000 yard stare is more than that. It's not just hopelessness or anything a regular person experiences daily. These guys saw their friend get turned into mush. Seeing their colleagues spaghettified bodies tangled in trees and barbed wire. Yall need to ✋️
Yup. You try living when a hug gives you fight or flight. It's awful, and therapy only took the edge off. I had to come up with the mental obstacle course to cool down before total panic sets in.
@@HKNative217 no you need to stop, nobody said that it was the same or worse than what you described. I was a victim of abandonment, child abuse, rape, etc myself, and while it isn't as directly devastating as what you described it is still a very real issue, and is the main reason why I was medically discharged in the army. I was assaulted by another soldier and went into a psychotic episode because my mind correlated his violent act with an attempt on my life. I won't go into any more detail but don't try to invalidate people just because what they went through wasn't as bad as watching someone get blown up.
Seeing someone explode and get shot right next to you is the most fucked up thing you can see in life

Seen that shit over and over. I fought in the Russian army during the battle against Georgia. In Russia, commanders and soldiers tend to be fairly close. I was a Lieutenant Colonel at the time. Me and my boys had a shitty dinner and went to bed. That day, we fought the Georgians. They were mowed down with ease, but that’s not to say that my boys weren’t hurt. There was a nobody; Private Ivan. I wasn’t close with him. He just enlisted and joined in with our talks. I sat by each bed, but he was unique. In his last moments, he held my hand. He had bad shell shock and his entire left side was blown out by artillery. He told me: “You’re the closest thing to a father that I’ve ever had.”
He died about an hour afterwards, and it still stings today. He may have been a nobody, but that comment was bittersweet. Many more shared that shell shock, and it was just heartbreaking to watch the people I’ve trained die before my own eyes.
Yep. My veteran partner has this. He refuses to sit in silence because of this. He keeps a level of at least 3 or 4 distractions at a time and cannot enjoy things like watching movies. He's done and experienced things that nearly all his peers who've experienced the same have successfully comit suicide by now and as days pass he hears more and more of them dropping themselves. He won't tell me everything but it's better for some things you don't hear

I've seen a similar look in cops and fire fighters who have seen some very traumatic event in their line of duty. What amazes me is they can go back to work the next day knowing they may see something else as bad or worse but praying that they don't. Most soldiers came home to jobs that didn't deal with these tramatic events on a regular basis. Our protective service workers like cops, fire fighters, paramedics, coroners, hospital ER workers and the like are even more amazing than soldiers.

Also known as White Noise. It would be described as basically seeing more of the whites of the eyes then the actual pupil and iris itself. It has also been a symptom talked about since Homer discussed the Iliad and most likely even before then. In our country alone over 1,000 soldiers were sentenced based on the idea of desertion due to Shell Shock in World War 1 and a little over one hundred of them would be sentenced to death and be executed. Same happened in other countries during that period as well.
