It's a way of not having to feel the depth of your pain. We learn this through situations in which we are hurt and lost our trust. It also ain't usual to talk about your true feelings, people sometimes don't know how to even do this, laughing then makes us feel more comfortable.
Was at a cross roads - choosing between Science me, Computer me, Business me...laid off in science, recently graduated from Computers lol ... I hope this me is good enough for the cosmos
Sorry to hear that! Some words of encouragement, I hope: Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is objective truth, and once we have Him and learn about His church, life begins to make so much sense. :)
@@st.michaelthearchangel7774 OMIFUCKINGJESUSHCHRIST I am SO fucking sick of these religious Jesus is the way comments. Jesus is a figment of someone’s imagination. Get that through your head & stop offering it up as the save all for everything. It’s a load of bullshit.
Very true, I can't share my mental illness problems with my family but sometimes CZcams comments and people on CZcams give me hope to keep living and not take my own life.
Yeah. From my experience it’s because we probably won’t ever see the person again, so just unloading our heart to them with that in mind can be easier. It’s not like we will go home and see them again, and are around them every day, so momentarily telling them things doesn’t feel as much of a threat. Something like that.
I know for a fact it’s easier to talk to a stranger. providing they’re normal I’d suggest they’d be more objective about my story because they don’t know me & therefore more considerate than judgemental family
i would tell ppl i’m close to about my anxiety, and how i just feel stressed all the time but i’m afraid they’d be mad i didn’t tell them before, and that’d just make me feel even more stressed. i know it probably wouldn’t happen but i can’t convince myself otherwise when i try to talk to ppl irl abt it
Wow I feel the same....idk why but its so hard for me to open up to people that are close to me....I feel vulnerable and kinda bad too....but at the same time....I feel lonely for never sharing what is really going on
“ i told my dad how i was feeling and then he just said let’s go for a walk and then we just talked about it” this is so heartwarming, being a supportive parent it really costs nothing.
So... I understand where you're going with this point. But, like... Being supportive costs nothing. Being a *parent* is like one of the most expensive endeavors you can ever go through.
@Caitilin Reitmeyer There are plenty of people who are happy to give support to others. Few people get the support they want and need from their parents. It only takes one supportive person who makes a difference. But throughout life you can find many along the way. Some are temporary, and some are for a lifetime. Reach out with openess and honesty to people with similar experiences to you. Particularly those who are further along a path you want to go on. It might not be obvious to others that you need or want support. What kinds of support would you like to have? It useful to know what you are looking for. You wrote this comment, and I responded, and I am just one! 💜
That’s why I love her content so much, I’m trying to make similar, but i feel the more we talk about stuff like this and normalize it, the happier of a world we will live in!
Right? I love that and then you grow up and the society show real face or you see it different and the child innocense is taken from us. But we have to stay positive and keep/hold on to inner child.
It's crazy thinking and remembering a time when I just woke up without a care or worry in the world. Makes me super appreciate having a pretty good and normal childhood.
True. It requires lots of self-knowledge. Which is hard, especially when you’re not used to spending time with yourself and really taking care of yourself.
Actually quite a complicated question, but we throw it around all the time like it's not. How am I doing?! When one feels and experiences so many different things at once it's hard to even answer that honestly for myself at any given moment.
Watch out for them in what sense? Watch out for them as in be aware that they may be in a terrible place emotionally/mentally or as in watch out they don't smack.you with a hammer when you turn around?
I met someone and it felt like that, we were together for 3 and half years and then she cheated on me and tossed me away like trash, I haven't even seen her since I found out she cheated. It's been months and I still cry every day.
There was a particular comment "if i die who is going to look after my birds" I think that is a beautiful way to think. There is never an inadequate reason to be alive.
😂 my reason to live is because my brother has horrible depression and is bipolar so I feel like that would be selfish of me to just make him worse 😂 that and my mom would probably be really sad
@@mmysam420 Thanks, my mom always just wants to put him (my fish) in a small bowl as decoration but I saved him from being a table centerpiece at a baby shower in the first place
I dont know if you'll read this, but please keep going. I was in that situation too, not so long ago. i almost had no hope, but i just.. kept going. i dont know why but i did. its all about the small little changes. try to make yourself feel better each day, dont rush it and dont take overwhelming big steps. maybe try to take a shower again, a short walk outside. if thats too much for first, its okay. then try opening the curtains just a bit more. try brushing your teeth. but just keep going. because i promise you i promise you, there is light in the end of the tunnel.
Honestly "I'm fine" is the most common lie ever. How often have I asked my friends knowing there's more beneath the surface, only to be told that they're fine. Sometimes I wish I could heal people's deep wounds.
“The world just feels so big right now... There’s so many ‘me’s that could be spread out at this point... and it’s kind of hard to choose which one i want to pursue.” YES, what a good articulation of how I feel so often, especially as I’m going into my last year of highschool...
Ross Sandeman I wish to say that someday.. I have lost all hope and trust in people. I feel soo numb but i miss that feeling of fully trusting someone and making them a part of my life.. 😭
I’ve had I think two people like that, but because I move so much and family issues on both sides, we just got out of touch. It’s the best feeling in the world.
"how are you doing, really?" completely horrible.. I feel so numb, empty, heartbroken and all the worst things you could possibly think of. But I'll just say I'm fine...as always :)
Feelings come and go and those feelings you describe will pass. I remind myself of this truth when I don't feel too good. Sending you love and light. ❤️

Honestly, I'm depressed and stressed and scared. I'm afraid of being alone and I'm fighting my own battles. Physically life is great but I don't give myself enough credit, I over think everything, stress things I shouldn't and I try to make everyone BUT myself happy. I'm insecure about my body and face and its just hard...I'm trying though...

Ya it's weird, I've been in extreme emotional pain and distress for months and I feel like I'm becoming numb, although I still cry everyday. It seems like improvement in some ways but it sure doesn't feel like it feels better.
@@mifp2498 Long story short, my (ex)GF was cheating on me. Once I found out she just tossed me away like trash and never came home. Been struggling hard, I thought we were gonna spend our lives together, I had boughten her ring and everything. :(
I absolutely loved her answer!!! And I loved that she had enough courage to reach out to her dad and be like you know what I’m not okay and the words and effort he poured into her by taking her on a walk mattered to her and stuck with her and to me that says volumes about how we need to speak up when we’re not okay and also stop whatever we are doing and pour into someone when they’re hurting. We have become so isolated it is causing a major decline in our mental health.
Older people: The new generation has it so easy!! This generation: Depressed,socially anxious,anorexic,anxious in general,empty,numb,fake smiles,etc. Edit: How the flippin' waffles did I get so many likes for something unoriginal?!?!?! (My way of saying thanks!) Edit 2: Okay,now I'm starting to think CZcams is drunk.
First time I cried was in 2015 and I felt so very ashamed of myself for that. I also remembered at the same time how my abusive father would often say to me, "Stop feeling for yourself! You're selfish! Think about your poor sisters!" I have learned that there is nothing shameful about crying and that the reason we have tear ducts is so we can cry and release what hurts us.
I understand how the young lady who feels numb perfectly. Not getting worse, but not getting better either. These videos are the first things I watch in the mornings and they do positively affect how the rest of my day goes. It's better to cry happy tears that painful tears. Love you all. Be kind. ❤🥰
Move to Finland 😀 People here ask "how are you doing" only when they want the real answer, and when the question is asked, people give the real answer. Finns mean what they say, with other things too. I'm moving to the US to live with my boyfriend, and I hope some day I will get used to your culture of communicating. It makes me a lil nervous 😳
dont worry girls!! it will be okay soon! I wish you good luck and keep smile on your face :) btw. at least - it will be July and not the June tommorow ;-)
I swear I'd cry if I was asked this. Not the usual "how r doing?" Where I don't really get to be honest because I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time. These videos inspire me and help me become a much better and kinder person. Thank you
Not Bothered it’s been such a big issue forever, but I’m sooooo glad that creators like her are bringing to the forefront, it really makes me so happy. When we can bring it to light and talk about it, healing can begin. ☺️
Ouroboros Institute i don’t think it’s ALWAYS been such a big issue , I think since Today we’re alreay so technologically advanced and we’re so DISCONNECTED from nature we lose a sense of purpose AND this leads to confusion and depression. Its a common problem nowadays especially in first world countries.
Not Bothered If people would get outside of their own little neurotic bubble and off of effn Snapchat and Facebook and Twitter and stop subjecting themselves to criticism and hatred, many would be a lot happier. Everyone is into instant gratification and everything is supposed to come to you without working for it. Blows my mind.
“Sometimes you gotta give yourself credit for the things you have accomplished”. This is so spot on. She’s wise. We should all take that seriously. We can often focus on what we don’t have or what we haven’t accomplished, when we should take time to appreciate what we have and what we’ve already accomplished.
It‘s really sad to see that there is literally no one who can say 'I‘m happy‘ with everything that is going on. Everyone is suffering, in any kind of way. That is really sad to know. You go out there and you know that like everyone is suffering somehow. We should care about ourselves more.
@@MidnightSonnet never place your happiness in someone elses hands..because if you are happy only because of someone else that is not real happiness, and when they leave they will take your happiness with them.
I am struggling with a meth addiction, getting ready to divorce my emotionally/mentally abusive husband of 35 years, 65 with crippling sciatica, working in a physically and mentally challenging low-paying job which hardly pays the bills, in a tenuous relationship with my family, have not been able to connect with people who I can trust, dealing with rape trauma, and wondering how the hell I got to this point in my life. I pray every day that God will give me a path out of this mess and bring me to a place of peace and joy. I teeter every day between slight hopefulness and despair. I blame no one but myself for my situation but I hope that despite any ways I may screw up, there’s something better coming for me. These videos have helped because I was finding it hard to believe in anything good existing without a nasty twist. I hope and pray that all the people in these interviews are finding what they need and want. We all deserve love and second chances.
"Good" "I am having a nice day and I woke up feeling nice." "Good." The way this precious child said those words. Awww, I wish I could shield her from every thing terrible the world has to offer until she is a mentally and emotional stable adult.

Hes not reflecting on what he ate, but rather sharing something that bothers him....It obviously concerns him....He may well have an stomach ulcer, or Esophogitis ...which would cause him digestive problems and also give him a gnawing sensation , in his stomach, as the acids build up ....When he eats , it will usually calm the pain and gnawing in his stomach.....but a few hours later, he will get indigestion .....So, poor guy.... He needs to take an alcaline remedy and Magnesium ...
He may be in a dissociative state, or someone who has Alexithymia. He looked like he was really trying to describe emotions... but came up with the description of hunger. That's not really an answer to "how are you doing?" It is hard for some people to answer this question truthfully in general also.
This makes me so sad that so many people are having a hard time but also comforts me in a way. Just to know that I’m not the only one struggling. I wish people would ask this more and also answer more honestlyx
"I'm scared that I have to work from 9 am to 5 pm for the rest of my life and not do anything I want... I want to figure out how to set myself long term to be happy" Damn... This is tough and might be (probably), the main root cause of depression nowadays.
this hits super hard for me, because seeing my parents and people these days it just seems like at my age (early 20s) noone really knows where they're going or what they should do to be happy. I'm graduating in a couple weeks and i'm terrified thinking about where to go and what to do.
@@hibye-by3yb it's okay not to know where you are going because it takes work experience and a time to self reflect to discover who you are. Be humble, talk to different people, get out of your comfort zone and when you are stressed out take a moment to find peace.
@@350zay2 that's very reassuring, my classmates from highschool all seem stuck. We're all not able to move on except for the few who have their life together which makes us super anxious. Guess we all need to take a step back and go at our own pace because this is our first life. Thanks older person, I was in a mood rn, but you made it better
I had these feeling when in university and in my early career. I think something that people could benefit from realizing is that working 9 to 5 isn't going to stop you from living a purposeful life. For me it's almost the opposite. Having a stable work situation enabled me to do MUCH more with the time outside of my "9 to 5".
Thank you. And I’m doing okay. I’m a fortunate person with a fortunate life. Plenty would love to be in my shoes, however, for me happiness is based on more than just materials. I am somewhat happy, don’t get me wrong, But I’ve had to leave many people behind and many have left me. So I’m just trying to find someone who’ll love and care for me, as I do for them. But patience is key, and I’ll be alright. I’ll find that true happiness. Thank you again for asking. And how are you?
hey hey hey, I want to intervene and say that you are all loved and all will be well. maybe better than now. just .... be positive and you will attract positivity, be good and you will attract the good .. no one is alone in this world. absolutely no one. and surely for each of us, someone will appear and take our heart into their hands, and then ... then we will heal ourselves completely. then we will remember the things for which we ask today. you have patience, everything comes from itself. allow things to come exactly as they were written. I love you all and hope you have a better life as the day goes on !!!💕💕💕
I know what you mean. My life feels like the line in that old song, "The tears of a clown when there's no one around". I put on a happy face to show the world but I'm dieing inside and don't want to show the pain.
This episode really resonated with me. All too often when asked "how are you?" my quick response is always "im okay" in fear of people not really wanting to hear the long version. So far, no one has asked for an in depth response or questioned if i'm really "okay". It's easy for me to pretend & put a smile on like everything is great, but on the inside, my mind is at war fighting a battle i'm struggling to win sometimes. I strive to provide that space to so many, but I often feel that falls short for myself. This video inspires me to create a vlog on my page to bring to light what i'm truly feeling. I hope we can all bring to light the importance of mental health & how normal it is to be able to express our true emotions without judgement.
Thats actually kinda funny.. I used to be this same way. Untill I hit a certain point and I just started asking them "do you want to know how I actually feel or do you just want to hear that im fine?". At this point.. If they answer that they don't want to hear than I just generally stop talking to them, even co workers. I'll avoid them purposely. Somebody truly want to hear how you feel and some don't. That's just reality, sadly.
I just found your videos and you made my heart feel so much peace towards people as a society. On social media you find so many horrible things that a certain part of your mentality starts to change and you start to see double intentions in everyone even if there are none. This makes me feel close to the rest of the people in the world, everyone lives their own story and goes through their own afflictions, but we all live in our own bubbles and ignore that there is so much beyond ourselves that we can learn from each other.
10:21 This Man is so funny. How he talked about that his stomach doesn’t agree with what he was eating but starting to be hungry again and that feels weird. 😂😂

Actually I feel his pain because you can have chronic illnesses and not be diagnosed yet, so he might not know yet that he has a health issue - I know exactly what he's talking about and digestion problems and pains are so awful which isn't really that funny. Just saying
this is great cuz no one really does this enough, someone asks you and you feel compelled to just say "fine" or "good" because you don't want to alienate people you meet by telling them all the shit you're going through. I've told my therapist so much and my mom, but it would be nice if someone came up to me that genuinely cared that didn't have an agenda or is doing it because they have to, I would feel comfortable sharing but I know that most people aren't comfortable getting into those kind of discussions or hearing the answer. Thank you for this.
I always come back to this video when I’m stressed, knowing people deep down people are having struggles. I can relate so much to them. I hope life is better for all of them❤️. On a side note, I think with times we are going through right now, I think we need another one of these videos.
i love watching these videos when i first wake up . it makes me feel that i am truly not alone . that i’m not as terribly different than the rest , emotionally . it makes me realize that there is always a way . it just starts with how your handling what’s thrown in .
How are you all doing, really?
Kind of depressed

I was in that situation too, not so long ago. i almost had no hope, but i just.. kept going. i dont know why but i did. its all about the small little changes. try to make yourself feel better each day, dont rush it and dont take overwhelming big steps. maybe try to take a shower again, a short walk outside. if thats too much for first, its okay. then try opening the curtains just a bit more. try brushing your teeth. but just keep going. because i promise you i promise you, there is light in the end of the tunnel.
11:57 weird how she's the only one who asked the question back
True. Nice observation. People need to be more kind
You don't know that, though. It could be the only one that she kept in the video.
well, it's an interview, it makes sense that people wouldn't think they're supposed to ask
It was part of her difficulty answering.
Honestly "I'm fine" is the most common lie ever. How often have I asked my friends knowing there's more beneath the surface, only to be told that they're fine. Sometimes I wish I could heal people's deep wounds.
Kamigon That is very beautiful that you wish you could help people heal. I am sure your friends are very blessed to have you.
As an Aquarius I say that “I’m fine” a lot because of how emotionally reserved I am
Kamigon, you're a wonderful creature. People around you are the luckiest. Lotsa love💖
I feel this so much. I only want to help people but everybody is fake with their emotions because people always try to break them down.

Welcome to Life. I don’t have to be kind nor do I expect others to be. That’s not the real fkng world
True

“The world just feels so big right now... There’s so many ‘me’s that could be spread out at this point... and it’s kind of hard to choose which one i want to pursue.” YES, what a good articulation of how I feel so often, especially as I’m going into my last year of highschool...
Yeah me too I really need to decide where I wanna go and what I wanna do
Reason for us to be more tolerant of other people: underneath the clothes and styles we portray we are all sad, scared, worried.
"I'm really happy, cus I met someone who feels like home." Damn
Ross Sandeman I wish to say that someday.. I have lost all hope and trust in people. I feel soo numb but i miss that feeling of fully trusting someone and making them a part of my life.. 😭
I’ve had I think two people like that, but because I move so much and family issues on both sides, we just got out of touch. It’s the best feeling in the world.

If you are struggling with mental health please look into Any Cutlers work, and start by reading the success stories and then the article by Rebecca Rust Lee on the Weston Price website. This underlying issue is much more common than what you would think.
I wanna help her too.
siri olseon thank you
I couldn't tell if she had depression?
so heartbreaking
To admit pain. To admit you re feeling weak, lost or lonely is to admit you're human. We're not alone.
Honestly, I'm depressed and stressed and scared. I'm afraid of being alone and I'm fighting my own battles. Physically life is great but I don't give myself enough credit, I over think everything, stress things I shouldn't and I try to make everyone BUT myself happy. I'm insecure about my body and face and its just hard...I'm trying though...
just keep trucking along, life is hard and we all face struggles. but you will overcome any obstacle as long as you push on. You got this, me and 40 others can relate since we liked your comment. your voice is heard! much love and hope the best for you. we are all in this together!
You can see this sadness and pain in some faces :\
it's unfortunate that most people don't see it until it's brought to their attention.

Want to talk about it? :)
That's where I've been for a while and like the girl said, it's not a good feeling at all.
Ya it's weird, I've been in extreme emotional pain and distress for months and I feel like I'm becoming numb, although I still cry everyday. It seems like improvement in some ways but it sure doesn't feel like it feels better.

@@mifp2498 Long story short, my (ex)GF was cheating on me. Once I found out she just tossed me away like trash and never came home. Been struggling hard, I thought we were gonna spend our lives together, I had boughten her ring and everything. :(
"I'm lonley but I have really great friends"
the fact that all these people are strangers proves that you should always be kind for you never know what the other person is going through
"whos gonna take care of my birds and draw my drawings.. I have to do that"
I felt so proud of her for saying all that and I hope she’s doing so much better these days!
I absolutely loved her answer!!! And I loved that she had enough courage to reach out to her dad and be like you know what I’m not okay and the words and effort he poured into her by taking her on a walk mattered to her and stuck with her and to me that says volumes about how we need to speak up when we’re not okay and also stop whatever we are doing and pour into someone when they’re hurting. We have become so isolated it is causing a major decline in our mental health.
I really got that answer!! It ain't much but nobody else can do it!!!!! I loved hearing about her father helping out!!!!

“it’s those damn pesky iphones isn’t it” debra for the love of fuck my phone is the only source of happiness for me
Me: living my life.
Someone: asks how I'm doing
Me: crying.
Why? Are things better now?
First time I cried was in 2015 and I felt so very ashamed of myself for that. I also remembered at the same time how my abusive father would often say to me, "Stop feeling for yourself! You're selfish! Think about your poor sisters!" I have learned that there is nothing shameful about crying and that the reason we have tear ducts is so we can cry and release what hurts us.
I understand how the young lady who feels numb perfectly. Not getting worse, but not getting better either. These videos are the first things I watch in the mornings and they do positively affect how the rest of my day goes. It's better to cry happy tears that painful tears. Love you all. Be kind. ❤🥰
yeah ,me too
it's a real awaking not from dream, but from life
I need this. I’m tiered of answering “good” when someone asks how am I.
Move to Finland 😀 People here ask "how are you doing" only when they want the real answer, and when the question is asked, people give the real answer. Finns mean what they say, with other things too.
I'm moving to the US to live with my boyfriend, and I hope some day I will get used to your culture of communicating. It makes me a lil nervous 😳
It's just small talk. They don't really care, so please don't start telling them your life story.

is it better, girls? :)
how are you girls now? is it good? or at least better? tell me (us) it, I really want to know it, if you are good, trust me :)

These videos inspire me and help me become a much better and kinder person. Thank you
It's interesting how the kid in this video talks about how he feels on that day and time; shows how children live more in the moment.

Very good comment.
Not Bothered it’s been such a big issue forever, but I’m sooooo glad that creators like her are bringing to the forefront, it really makes me so happy. When we can bring it to light and talk about it, healing can begin. ☺️
It's not a mental issue. It's lack of Light in the world
Ouroboros Institute i don’t think it’s ALWAYS been such a big issue , I think since Today we’re alreay so technologically advanced and we’re so DISCONNECTED from nature we lose a sense of purpose AND this leads to confusion and depression. Its a common problem nowadays especially in first world countries.
Not Bothered If people would get outside of their own little neurotic bubble and off of effn Snapchat and Facebook and Twitter and stop subjecting themselves to criticism and hatred, many would be a lot happier. Everyone is into instant gratification and everything is supposed to come to you without working for it. Blows my mind.
"i just wanna go home, lay on my floor and scream. that is how i'm doing" that hit me so hard..
I don't wanna scream though. Im not angry at anything just tired and empty inside
Thats soo me
“Sometimes you gotta give yourself credit for the things you have accomplished”. This is so spot on. She’s wise. We should all take that seriously. We can often focus on what we don’t have or what we haven’t accomplished, when we should take time to appreciate what we have and what we’ve already accomplished.
It‘s really sad to see that there is literally no one who can say 'I‘m happy‘ with everything that is going on. Everyone is suffering, in any kind of way. That is really sad to know. You go out there and you know that like everyone is suffering somehow. We should care about ourselves more.
the guy talking about baby ducks is so pure. also, that happy kid saying they woke up feeling good is amazing to hear.

When that girl said, "if I die who's gonna take care of my birds?" I lost it.
I am struggling with a meth addiction, getting ready to divorce my emotionally/mentally abusive husband of 35 years, 65 with crippling sciatica, working in a physically and mentally challenging low-paying job which hardly pays the bills, in a tenuous relationship with my family, have not been able to connect with people who I can trust, dealing with rape trauma, and wondering how the hell I got to this point in my life. I pray every day that God will give me a path out of this mess and bring me to a place of peace and joy. I teeter every day between slight hopefulness and despair. I blame no one but myself for my situation but I hope that despite any ways I may screw up, there’s something better coming for me. These videos have helped because I was finding it hard to believe in anything good existing without a nasty twist. I hope and pray that all the people in these interviews are finding what they need and want. We all deserve love and second chances.
Stay strong. I have you in my thoughts.

Pretty sure it was a boy...
Everyone: talking about their problems
This guy 10:21: doing a reflection about what he ate for lunch
He’s like a lower pitched Griffin McElroy
iTs dInNeR TiMe
Such a mood
Hes not reflecting on what he ate, but rather sharing something that bothers him....It obviously concerns him....He may well have an stomach ulcer, or Esophogitis ...which would cause him digestive problems and also give him a gnawing sensation , in his stomach, as the acids build up ....When he eats , it will usually calm the pain and gnawing in his stomach.....but a few hours later, he will get indigestion .....So, poor guy.... He needs to take an alcaline remedy and Magnesium ...
He may be in a dissociative state, or someone who has Alexithymia. He looked like he was really trying to describe emotions... but came up with the description of hunger. That's not really an answer to "how are you doing?" It is hard for some people to answer this question truthfully in general also.
The fact that people ask themselves how they are doing after you asked them, and don't know the answer, really hits me.
if i was asked that question in person, i would probably bawl my eyes out...

'I'm not getting better but I'm not getting worse' I feel that with my whole heart 💜
"im not getting better but im not getting worse" it is a very frustrating feeling
Felt that. It's just kind of being in a limbo, or suspension where it's almost nothing.
"I'm scared that I have to work from 9 am to 5 pm for the rest of my life and not do anything I want... I want to figure out how to set myself long term to be happy" Damn... This is tough and might be (probably), the main root cause of depression nowadays.
this hits super hard for me, because seeing my parents and people these days it just seems like at my age (early 20s) noone really knows where they're going or what they should do to be happy. I'm graduating in a couple weeks and i'm terrified thinking about where to go and what to do.
@@hibye-by3yb it's okay not to know where you are going because it takes work experience and a time to self reflect to discover who you are. Be humble, talk to different people, get out of your comfort zone and when you are stressed out take a moment to find peace.
@@350zay2 that's very reassuring, my classmates from highschool all seem stuck. We're all not able to move on except for the few who have their life together which makes us super anxious. Guess we all need to take a step back and go at our own pace because this is our first life. Thanks older person, I was in a mood rn, but you made it better
I had these feeling when in university and in my early career. I think something that people could benefit from realizing is that working 9 to 5 isn't going to stop you from living a purposeful life. For me it's almost the opposite. Having a stable work situation enabled me to do MUCH more with the time outside of my "9 to 5".
I work 8pm to 11am on a baitfish boat pulling nets lol dont be too sad
No one’s ever asked me how I’m doing really. No one’s ever asked me how I’m doing.
But I’ll survive. We’ll survive
How are you doing? I honestly hipe you have several reasons to smile each day
Thank you. And I’m doing okay. I’m a fortunate person with a fortunate life. Plenty would love to be in my shoes, however, for me happiness is based on more than just materials. I am somewhat happy, don’t get me wrong,
But I’ve had to leave many people behind and many have left me. So I’m just trying to find someone who’ll love and care for me, as I do for them. But patience is key, and I’ll be alright. I’ll find that true happiness.
Thank you again for asking. And how are you?

There's a podcast with guests basically based on this question.
@@EridanP drop the name sis
@@albertofiorentini6594 It's called Terrible Thanks For Asking (ttfa) There's even an episode called "How are you?"
"Sometimes.. you don't give yourself enough credit for the things you have accomplished"
Wow that hit hard..
This episode really resonated with me. All too often when asked "how are you?" my quick response is always "im okay" in fear of people not really wanting to hear the long version. So far, no one has asked for an in depth response or questioned if i'm really "okay". It's easy for me to pretend & put a smile on like everything is great, but on the inside, my mind is at war fighting a battle i'm struggling to win sometimes. I strive to provide that space to so many, but I often feel that falls short for myself. This video inspires me to create a vlog on my page to bring to light what i'm truly feeling. I hope we can all bring to light the importance of mental health & how normal it is to be able to express our true emotions without judgement.
Thats actually kinda funny.. I used to be this same way. Untill I hit a certain point and I just started asking them "do you want to know how I actually feel or do you just want to hear that im fine?". At this point.. If they answer that they don't want to hear than I just generally stop talking to them, even co workers. I'll avoid them purposely. Somebody truly want to hear how you feel and some don't. That's just reality, sadly.

Stumbled on this page during a rough patch. It brought me so much hope, sadness, and joy. Thank you for all of these feelings and everyone who shared.
I just found your videos and you made my heart feel so much peace towards people as a society. On social media you find so many horrible things that a certain part of your mentality starts to change and you start to see double intentions in everyone even if there are none.
This makes me feel close to the rest of the people in the world, everyone lives their own story and goes through their own afflictions, but we all live in our own bubbles and ignore that there is so much beyond ourselves that we can learn from each other.

Actually I feel his pain because you can have chronic illnesses and not be diagnosed yet, so he might not know yet that he has a health issue - I know exactly what he's talking about and digestion problems and pains are so awful which isn't really that funny. Just saying

Heartmindandsoul_ FR I WAS DYINGGG
This was very eye-opening at how much everyone else is suffering too cuz sometimes it feels like you’re alone.
This is the most human thing I have ever seen, on any platform. Thank you for putting this together.
this is great cuz no one really does this enough, someone asks you and you feel compelled to just say "fine" or "good" because you don't want to alienate people you meet by telling them all the shit you're going through. I've told my therapist so much and my mom, but it would be nice if someone came up to me that genuinely cared that didn't have an agenda or is doing it because they have to, I would feel comfortable sharing but I know that most people aren't comfortable getting into those kind of discussions or hearing the answer. Thank you for this.
„There are so many alternative me‘s that could spread out from this point“ dude that hit me🤯
Great for people’s mental health. You’re making a better world.
I always come back to this video when I’m stressed, knowing people deep down people are having struggles. I can relate so much to them. I hope life is better for all of them❤️.
On a side note, I think with times we are going through right now, I think we need another one of these videos.
i love watching these videos when i first wake up . it makes me feel that i am truly not alone . that i’m not as terribly different than the rest , emotionally .
it makes me realize that there is always a way . it just starts with how your handling what’s thrown in .
if you ever interview me for this you better NOT zoom in on my face lol
Lol, same! It’s much too zoomed in
Or just dont appear in the vid at all lol
Zooming in on the face like that cuts out everything and let's you focus on the people talking and the raw emotion in their facial expressions.
