Judgement Day with penis stuck in the bird house
No Judgement Day, you fool! It was a just an expression. Now you'll be exposed to wretched sea air and sunlight that will lift your spirits, bringing you ever closer to happiness!
that doesn't actually seem like a bad idea, as long as it's your all room you should be fine.
Did it work?

Cleaned my whole house just to spite you. It took 8 hours and now I'm even more unhappy.
yea but now you're unhappy in a sparkling clean house, and that's something
Ever been unhappy with a clear window?
Kudos for the brilliant approach of #4 USE YOUR SCREEN TO STOKE YOUR NEGATIVE EMOTIONS (about things over which you have no control or influence). I am so proud of you and I don't even know you. 💜
Also kudos on cleaning your whole house. Much better than sitting idle in a dirty house and not even knowing if you are even capable of cleaning your house! (Ok, maybe that last part was just me)
Yeah. Especially when you have to move your furnitures around and when you search how to clean this certain stain, and you need to go to Walmart again. Never again.

"Be well informed, while doing nothing."
This hits a little too hard.
Watched this video a couple of month ago - fixed my sleep cycle, started doing my work in the library not my room, set realistic measurable, started exercising more and stopped worrying so much about things I couldn't change. I'm quite happy and am feeling a lot better than I was before - thanks for the video.
I think portraying it as 'do this to maximise sadness' rather than 'don't do this to be happy' makes the message a lot more palatable and lets it sink in easier
Checkout Oprah and Arthur Brooks “Soul Soup” discussions about their book, How to Build the Life you Want.
(Or, just read Arthur Brooks column of the same name in the Atlantic.)
Don’t worry, online school is checking all the criteria.

Actually online school makes you bored, which is one of the things that are not on the list of things that you need to do.

@@shinigami7800 research has shown that genetically some people will just be happier than other people on regular basis, due to their hormones and biological conditions. (They even suggested that 60% of your mood is determined biologically, so the video prob only accounts for the other 40%) That being said, it is likely that you will be happier had you done the opposite of what this video recommends.
is this a personal attack or something
Some more pointers: true misery doesn’t come from constantly torturing yourself. Your brain will adapt to anything as long as it’s consistent. Feed it just enough hope to have its longings crushed every so often and you’ll never feel a moment’s reprieve.
I watch this frequently. The reverse psychology works a lot better for me than some random guy saying "You can do it".
You can do it tho

Sometimes I forget that there are mentally healthy people who don't do this unconsciously.
Oof, hit me right in the feels. For some, doing all of this is automatic and natural. I struggle with anxiety and ADHD and it is a constant effort to improve myself for future me.

Thanks a lot for making this video. Before I was a really happy person, but after watching this and following all of your steps, I feel much worse! Great video!
This video made me clean my entire apartment, and feel immense satisfaction about it.
0/10, I want my money back.
Your goal must've not been unreachably large enough. Set your goal to clean the apartment. Not just the area you live in, the entire apartment building.
If this is still not enough, then the whole block, then the city you live in, so on and so forth until your goal is to clean up the entire world somehow.

You missed another really good tip: Spend as much time as possible reflecting on the past. Look at the fun times you had in the past and think about how impossible they are now because your life has changed. Look at the bad times you had in the past and try to work out how they were your fault or how they mark general trends in your life.
Those are way too effective to use as an "inspirational" video.
@@Samuel62655 we all are...
those can backfire on some individuals and as such are not 100% effective in achieving true sadness
I spent a good five minutes trying to come up with a witty one-liner and couldn't. I've been really good at avoiding all 7 of the things on this list. Then this comment cleaned my clock. Yeah. I do this a lot. I mean a LOT. Like A. LOT. It tortures me day and night now that I'm 32 that all the fun is gone from life and it won't ever be as great as I remember in my 20's. Well there's possibly 60 more years of this to go, pal. It's gonna be a long ride in the car if you keep up the "I'm not touching you" game for most of it.
To really maximize this effect, look for the moments that took you from that happier time to the present, and then spend a great deal of time focusing on how you could change those if you could only go back in time to change them.
0:20 #1 live a sedentary lifestyle and don't go outside much.
0:57 #2 Have an irregular sleep cycle for example never be consistent with your waking and sleeping time.
1:50 3# Maximus your screen time.
2:30 4# Feel anxiety and fear over things you have no control or influence over, being well informed while doing nothing and if you decide to contribute make sure it's meaningless.The things you care about could be a reason to leave your house and take meaningful connections with the people around you.
3:26 #5 To reach goals they must be Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Responsible, Time-Bounded.Instead set your brain on V.A.P.I.D. goals which stands for Vague, Amorphous, irrelevant, pie in the sky, delayed.Make the goal and path unclear.if you have motivation set unrealistic goals.Try to achieve the goal whenever you want don't set deadlines.With vapid goals you will turn the productive part of your brain from a dangerous source of self-improvement that rewards every small step into a consistent nag that brates you for your failure to have already accomplished your goal every step of the way.
4:45 #6 Pursue happiness directly instead of letting it happen to you naturally.
5:23 #7 Always follow your instincts.
oh thanks i was in a bit of a hurry helped me alot
thanka i needed this!
Made this for myself, and thought to share:
1. Go outside, get moving, don't lock yourself up.
2. Fix your sleep schedule, get proper sleep.
3. Reduce your screen time.
4. Don't fret over irrelevant topics and things that you can't control. If you want to do something, do it.
5. Set a clear and achievable goal. Make small consistent goals.
6. Don't search for your idea of happiness, just do what makes you happy.
7. Think things through, weigh and understand the consequences/results of your action.
@@alifram117 No! you can't share Happiness around! It's Dangerous!!!
@@alifram117 thats basicaly the objective of the video
Instead of saying what to do, Grey says what not to do
The best part about this video is that it tells you what you NEED to hear but don't want to in a way that is fun and respectful enough to maintain the listener's interest.

@@PhoenixFires lol same except it was my grandma
Wow this is literally me. This has been me for the past 5 years, hadn't watched the video before but yeah, definitely recommended method to feel more miserable and just get to the realization that this is how your life will keep being and you can't do anything about it bc you are an absolute failure that doesn't have an ounce of willpower, and even when others try to help you you reject them 👍
I think the point of this video was to tell you to start doing the opposite of what you've been doing to help imporve your happiness. Instead of waiting for modivation you have to start just imporving small things about your boat and listen to your instincts
No focus on one of the ways and try to change you from that. Make a note book to set smal but monumental tasks to improve your self. Please read this and don't just brush it away.

Seriously
PRO TIP: if your allroom is in your parents basement, you don't even have to pay rent
But paying rent helps to maximize misery???
StoneMountain64 I can do you one better. I live in a shed in my grandma's backyard.
Matthew Taylor both paying and not paying rent have advantages. Depending how much you pay you can be left with very little money so you are unable to do anything, plus work can leave you exhausted so you won't do anything anyway.
Not paying rent leaves you without a weekly goal "make this much money", it doesn't force you to get a job which is a distraction and most of the time provides human interaction, you are also not paying for your own basic needs which can make you feel worthless.
sounds familiar
Enemy depression spotted
After all those years, happy to finally see someone promoting an alternative to this 'Happiness' trend people talk about :)
Happiness is so last decade. ;(
You forced me to acknowledge tangible ways I actively prolong misery. Now I feel guilty and am ignoring your instructions. You have failed in aiding my journey to endless misery.
On top of that you have now created a comment section of people who feel the same that I can relate with so I know I don’t feel alone in my miserable ways. This is madness!
“Recommend for you”

Yooo Get Inside boyy

:D lol I have laugh so much insidly.
The fact that I’m already doing most of these things worries me.
Realizing it is the first step out of it. Good job!
its okay dude, there's a lot of people doing it also(like me)
@@meyegui there is no way out of it lol
I doing it also and I don't care
Yeah, I think that's why he made it. All the "just go outside and pursue thing you like!" advice just sounds too cheesy and obvious. Phrasing it like the video is a super good reverse psychology thing and helps because you identify with the steps and that gets you to realize what you're doing is contributing to how you feel.
To really maximize this list, you must become addicted to caffeine to make the suffering last as long as possible.
at least someone recognizes my qualities
I didn't know I was going to watch an autobiography on myself today
Goddamn,same feelings here too.
You mean a biography, an autobiography would be a biography you wrote yourself.
Seems like Grey's been spying on us.
Same actually
Same 😥
The sad part is that this video basically summed up my everyday routine and I'm not even trying to maximize misery
Same and I am only twelve
Am like that for 10 years now
Same I'm not pron to depression but I still get it sometimes
Same 😔 but eveytime I try to stop, it works for half a day, then back to the old routine
Yup, that's unnervingly similar to what I do every day
I do most of these and surprisingly I'm not really miserable and even happier than ever before, I just simply REALLY enjoy being alone in my room, it feels like a little freedom of sorts, free from whatever is happening outside, and can do anything I want, before I had to go outside more often and I was always very anxious and nervous just by being around other people, vaguely hearing them about different things that I just never fully understand and just had to stay still and quiet until I could finally return home exhausted by the day
Same.
cool to see im not the only one with this mindset
That's because your not doing ALL of the steps. Make sure you are doing number 5. Set goals you can't achieve.
Watching this from my now more learned perspective, it now makes sense why i have had such a struggle to be anything close to happy for a majority of my life. ADHD is one hell of a handicap for many things.

During Quarantine in 2020, almost all of these steps were true for me and I was absolutely miserable. I was failing some classes in school and it was a depressing time for me. These steps work and most of the time you don't even know they were in effect. My life is better now but after watching this video it's just made me realize just how much the pandemic affected my life.
I love videos like this because it encourages you to become self aware of all of the terrible things that you're doing wrong in your life in a way that telling you how to fix your life just doesn't do
Step 8: acknowledge that you follow these trends and instead of fixing the problem, make memes and jokes to garner likes and feel temporary happiness. Even if you acknowledge the mental amd physical side effects

This may sound cliche but this video saved my life. For years I was wallowing my own self pity but you made me realise that my doing the opposite of what you said I'd get better. Thanks Grey:)
I think this is far more effective than any motivational video about success. No one wants to change up their lifestyle if what they have going for them is working. No, you may not be happy with how you are living, but you aren't dead and it could be worse. A lot of the time motivational videos talk about what actions you *can* take in order to improve your life, but not what actions you should quit doing.
Grey: "If you must contribute, do so in meaningless token ways and be disappointed in the lack of change."

same! we're going to win!
Yes! Misery here I come!!
Yup. We are the ones who are going to make it.
Im trying to be happy but accidentally follows this guide
😂 same!
i did all al those things while i have clinically diagnosed with depression but on the other hand, i was also suffering from the guilt of doing those things cause i had goals that i wanted to achieve. so yeah, if you want to feel more miserable, have actual goals and never make them and instead, do as this video says...
"I'll do it later."
@@sasin2715 for me, no. it was only "i don't want to do anything." even the things that used to make me happy. my situation was kind of different, i presume. but i think everyone has experienced postponing without any mental illnesses, as you say, "i'll do it later."
@@sasin2715 From the perspective of someone who has never been depressed that may be what people think but as someone who has experienced it, it is quite different. Depression isn't about putting of goals and stuff it just means that you struggle to find the will power to do things that can be really simple such as getting out of bed, making a meal (i often missed breakfast while depressed) and you have just a constant lack of energy. It is hard to get out of depression but you just gotta hold on.
I am here to take a break from this all nighter I am pulling for this midterm that I have been studying for. Slaughtering step 1 and 2.
Y'know, this may sound crazy, but I have the sneaking suspicion that if you did the *opposite* of these things, you'd have a list on how to *not* be miserable. That could really backfire.
@Manek Iridius maybe you're not doing it right? I don't know though, I'm not a rocket scientist.
best to watch it several times studying every detail until you overthink it so much that you have no clue what you were trying to do to begin with.
That is literally the entire point of this video
@@Nils3OWN r/wooooosh
@Greg Rosenbaum what do you mean ?!
Why this video is so helpful: Instead of being one of those sappy, cheesy, motivational videos, this one shows you exactly what you're doing wrong and sends an "Unless you want to amplify it, do the opposite" message.
It also helps you if you actually want to be miserable.

This is a smart, people are like “eww I don’t want advice on how to feel better I already know what I need to feel better” seeing it flipped is tongue and cheek and makes you pay attention anyways. Two thumbs up

Side note: He technically does make money off your stillness/misery, so shhhh...

This is strangely motivating
it’s a call to action. all of the things in this video are a reference to what you shouldn’t be doing. Preach Hell, not Heaven.
@@bohashem921 Preaching hell means that instead talking the greatness of heaven, talk about how bad hell is so that you won’t want to go there. It is what Christians do to get people to believe in their religion.

This feels like personal attack because of how accurate it is 😂
When you are old and disabled, all your close family is dead, all your friends moved away years ago, you live in a town so small that it only has one small grocery store and literally nothing to do, and you can't afford to hire a stranger to drive you an hour to the nearest town and wait around while you shop or see a movie, or whatever, then drive you an hour back - what do you do? Because of my lack of vision, I don't dare take the chance of driving more than the 3 miles to the grocery store once a week- and nobody there ever wants to take the time to chat with a stranger. The two friends I have left living in other states have their own health problems and don't feel like taking on the phone more than a few minutes maybe once a week or so. My physical limitations prevent me from doing a lot of things but I do what housework I can in order to get some exercise every couple of days. Otherwise I stay on my phone in order to get mental stimulation and not think about how depressed I am. You make it sound like everyone intentionally makes themselves miserable and don't take into account that a lot of us are victims of circumstances we either can't afford to change or are not physically able to change.
"Use your screen to stoke your negative emotions, to feed your anger and anxiety over things you have no control over. Be well informed, while doing nothing."
That wasn't just a punch in the gut. That was a stab in the kidneys, with a blunt and serrated knife, and you twisted it gleefully with every word.

So if someone wants to go skydiving with a broken parachute because they think it’ll just make them fall faster, but they’ll still be safe we shouldn’t stop them because no body else knows what’s good for you?
If we find out someone has suicidal thoughts we shouldn’t help them because we don’t know what’s good for them?
We should just let pedos roam with our children because we cannot know what is good for them?
Yeah, nobody can give advice to anyone, ever.
Colobrinus With a side of cube
No,
He means that you know damn well that’s a stupid idea and you shouldn’t rely on others to stop you from doing the things you know you should not do. He also didn’t advice you not to help people that are seriously confused.
Edit: What you did was a classical straw man argument. Although in the context of maximizing misery maybe you just improved his advice.

I don’t know how to set SMART goals because for my entire life, I have only ever set VAPID ones. The only reason anything ever got done was because people told me what to do.
I try to sleep and wake consistently but I cannot. If I am not tired, I cannot sleep no matter how hard I try because my mind does not shut up (thanks ADHD).
This video is depressing for me because it paints the image that I cannot change the course, no matter how much I wish I could. I am stuck in a whirlpool that is dragging me down.
“Remain Indoors” Couldn’t be any truer during this quarantine.
Well he made a video fot that now. No Excuses!
@Turururu my dude, your addicted to the dopamine boost. Slowly lower the frequency, to like once a week.
Maintaining a constant sleep schedule is needed.
*laughs in quarantine*
Heh
Shit so relatable
Shocking how this is a 100% accurate description of the last few months of lockdown for me. I literally tick every single box 😳
Then go watch Spaceship You
I love your videos bro
Heck yea
Wtf I loved your bf1 videos they kept me going
Lockdown is horrible, i wish it never happened
Instructions unclear, I am now leading a happy, successful, and fulfilling life. >:(
I’m sick in bed but this video gave me the will power to do the opposite of everything you’ve described which i have been doing before i was so ill 🗿I’m grateful
To understand what makes you happy, you must first understand what makes you sad.
work and all associated with it makes me sad
So if living makes me sad then I should kill myself... K thanks bye ima die now
Yes, but to understand what makes you sad you must first understand what makes you happy.
No wonder everyone is so clueless.
Thanks Mohammed
ethan McDonald Find what makes you think that way
Jesus, this felt like a solid prolonged six minute burn.
You got the wrong message then
no that just means that it hits home
Hits? More like it steamrolled as if thrown by a crazed vampire.
Isn't that what a burn is?
and the crazed vampire is also better looking than me
instructions unclear, I accidentally pursued happiness
Now I really want to try my hardest to be as purposefully miserable as possible, it sounds really easy. Maybe like a month in the same room living like a slob and seeing how sad I get. Congratulations! Your video had the exact opposite effect as intended on me.
damn bro, i feel sorry for your soul
Mf killing himself and still blaming others
Skill issue
You try it? The reality is pretty depressing
welcome to the pit
Good to know I'm at least being miserable correctly
🤣
Audio Rebel agreed
I think you should've added "avoid social interactions wherever possible" This is also quite effective
unless youre introverted in which case do the opposite
@@SilverThyme I disagree, I’m an introvert and definitely need my alone time or I’ll end up burned out. But never having any social interaction at all is a track to feeling lonely and sad. The key is just to balance some social time with your needs for yourself as well.
@@demetriromano565 Sure. Being introvert is not the same as being asocial, having social anxiety or being shy. Those are different things, not necessarily we'll have them (even though some introverts have one of those).
@@SilverThyme correction: "Unless you are antisocial/agoraphobic, in which case do the opposite."
(I should know, because I am both of these.)
And always tell yourself ‘no one knows what I’m going through cos they’ve never felt like me’ and stay away from people.
As most of us here, i was following these advices waaaay before i watched this video and i 100% approve them 👍
Beautiful piece! I started giggling from the beginning because you specifying "never to do what could make you happy" fills anyone doing exactly that with so much guilt. I'd call this a masterpiece
Most motivational video ever
MrFindX *un
Lol
Agreed
True
I watch this fairly regularly.
I feel attacked
Some Guy i think thats why he said at the start of the video he said "one of which you are doing right now" :D
MrsKates07632 No that's because you are sitting still
YOU DIED
lol 7/7
As does everyone watching this video now (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
I watched this twice over. At 2:00 I was caught lacking on my phone doing nothing. Thank you for getting me out of bed after 3 hours to finally shower today.
Thanks, I was already doing most of this so it's really helpful to see what else I can do to become even sadder!
These tips will definitely help me on my way to making sadness my full-time career.
Hey ... Wait a minute ... Is this what they call reverse psychology 🤔
Lol yea
This is life
no its a retarded tryhard cringeworthy vid that almost made me puke XDDDDDD
The Lizard couldntve said it better!
ok
we could make a religion out of this
Bomb Cheese lmao frfr
Bomb Cheese please dont
Bomb Cheese @bill wurtz
Bomb Cheese But the sun is a deadly lazor
We already did tho #praiseKek
Thank you for making this video. Before watching I was suffering from happiness without being able to feel the depressing touch of misery. Now, I am a bona fide sailor on the sea of misery, unable to find any islands. This video has improved my life for the worse and I couldnt feel worse!
I love how I got rid of all my problems and never felt happier than ever before and youtube decides to recommend me that. They are foreshadowing my next misery and I have to prepare for it mentally
