I lived in Brazil for almost 20 years but returned to Portugal mostly because of safety issues, both my kids were born there and it was really hard for the oldest one to embrace the shocking change. While in Brazil we lived in a city with more than 12 million inhabitants, now we live in a very small village with no more than 13k inhabitants. After almost 1 year here, I received some warnings from the school about the oldest mental health, asking what I thought about the school psychologist starting to follow the kid. After 1 month she was diagnosed with severe depression and other stuff I prefer to keep private, and one week later she was having psiq. sessions at the nearest Mental Health Hospital. Its been now almost 6 years and shes completely in control of her issues&life. On her second year at Coimbra Uni and I feel shes totally in control. What amazes me, is that her condition was somehow "found" by teachers that worry about their students and the school that immediately tried to help and prevent. I do believe prevention is very underrated.
Glad to hear how things turned out. And kudos to the teachers and mental health processionals for their genuine concern and care.
Uma aldeia com 13 000 hab?! Provavelmente é uma vila ou uma pequena cidade! No bairro onde moro somos aprox. 38 000, mas vivo em Lisboa!

💯 As an American expat living in Portugal for about a year now; it’s been great watching your videos!!
These are topics that really matter when considering quality of life. It’s REALLY inspiring for you to share something as vulnerable as you did and to cover this topic.
I have PTSD from a tragic shooting in Colorado a few years back and life in Portugal has been transformative for my mental health.
Totally agree. Thanks Dave for being honest and vulnerable. Looks like you have stepped forward and overcame your challenges. Going from being hesitant to leave your house to life in another continent, country, culture and language takes major courage! Hats off to you. All the best to you in the future, Randy/GA(USA)
I moved to the Azores, been here over a year now and have seen a real change in my own mental state. Best of luck to you man 🤝🏼🍻
Thank you so much for this video, Dave. I know what you're talking about. My dogs & cats kept me alive! All the best. Cheers
Thank you for this Dave. I think all countries are seeing a terrible increase in homeless populations and mental health struggles. We are seeing it here in Canada too. I have purchased many warm meals for people who are down on their luck... and I'm proud of my daughter who does the same. I think sometimes they just need us to say hello and ask how they are doing... even if we can't offer money or food in the moment. It takes very little effort to be kind.
Thank you Dave for caring enough for others to make this video. I’ve seen all of your videos, and think you’re pretty great. Obrigada! Keep up the fantastic work. You’re making a difference🩵
Dave, I'm so blown away you made this video and so grateful! Thank you for being so transparent. I'm a therapist is Oakland California in the US where there is a major homeless problem and crime. I just got my car window fixed today for the 9th time due to vandalism in less than two years and I park in a protected garage. Things are out of control here like I've never seen and it's definitely impacts everyone's mental health.I'm so glad you're getting support I know it really helps people to feel more grounded and helps makes them more resilient. I love you channel and have been seriously considering moving to Portugal in the next 5 years. I just went for the first time in May and loved it! Maybe someday we'll meet! Good luck with everything!
Hi, Dave. This is a subject i have been researching in other countries as well. I run a residential facility for people with mental illness as well as an independent living program. There are so many ways I would love to improve how we manage our treatment and education of mental health issues in the US. One of the most wonderful things I've experienced in Europe has been to see the way that communities rally around those in need of treatment instead of the ostracizing we see so prevalent in the US. Hopefully things are changing in that area and I hope someday we can change how we fiscally manage the situation as well. So much money is wasted and so many practices cost us more in the long run. Thank you for sharing this topic and being open with your audience.
I've enjoyed your videos for a while now. Coming back to Portugal next Friday for a week. Your videos have given me some great ideas for things I should show the 3 women coming with me that have never been. So again, I appreciate all the videos you share with us!
I know all human experiences are different. I am from Italy, and my wife is from Portugal. We live on Long Island together now. If either one of us ever told our families in the old countries we have mental health issues they would have said that isn’t a real thing. We’d essentially be told to suck it up by our European families. It’s only since moving to the United States that the concept of seeking mental health services was ever put on the table.
Just to make a little note on the homeless situation:
In Portugal or maybe to be more precise in my city, the town hall does provide a small fund and housing to help people get back on their feet. But, from personal experience, these homeless people refuse to accept it. Not out of pride but because they would have to follow certain rules if they accepted the help (they wouldn't be able to come and go as they pleased, they wouldn't be able to drink or smoke as much, they wouldn't be able to do drugs...things like that). They would rather live on the street than having those few little conditions. Though...to be fair...in a city of almost 120 thousand people, there are like 5 or 6 known homeless people who everyone knows they have refused the help provided by the town hall.
I can guess what city that might be, and you're lucky. In the greater Lisbon and the south bank area things are dire for so many, and the mental health issues are now as common as going out for a coffee, you can tell easily just by looking at someone's eyes - they're empty, trying to hide all that anxiety... The housing crisis, the hospitals... I've never seen anything like this.
This is a governmental problem that started with Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, mental health is not a priority for the United States government. So much of our tax money goes towards defense and military.
We vote for politicians who do not really represent the needs of the American people.
Dave, I don't know if you notice, but the Portuguese are kind of melancholy by nature. I suffered from depression and loneliness for the first time when I lived in Portugal. It's a place where I have almost no fond memories. I hope you adjust well.
The only policies that work are housing first policies. Conditioning housing on them following certain rules is the same as not prioritizing homeless care. House them first, then get the social services in place to deal with mental illness, addiction and skills deficits.
@@ReflexVEI run a residential mental health facility and an Independent living program. I understand the spirit of what you are saying with focusing on housing first, but without rules/conditions you would be unable to sustain a housing program. I've had residents who have didn't follow the rules in just a few days after admission and cause multiple other residents to blow out with them and lose all success they had achieved. Others have not taken their medications and assaulted other residents and put holes in our walls. If I could I would give them all tiny homes to themselves. But communal living for anyone does need to have rules and conditions to be able to function in a therapeutic manner.
@@jaxjourney_ Housing first policies are literal, you put them in homes. Not facilities. Homes. This has worked well everywhere it has been tried.
Important topic. I have been working in psychiatry in the Netherlands and I would never want to do it again because of the constant stress of the government pushing you to do more with less on the one side and the harsh confronting reality of working in psychiatry on the other. It takes it's toll. Nevertheless it is a shame that mental healthcare is not a basic right in so many parts of the world. I don't want to have a mental condition at all, but if I had one, I would rather have it in the Netherlands than here in Portugal.
I agree with you but the physiologists are not that bad in Portugal
@@Hasan_reacts The psycologists are fine. The psychiatrists however, have appointments of 15 minutes for the first time. Base their diagnose on those 15 minutes and then prescribe loads of pills. The follow up appointments are even shorter than 15 minutes and just to give you more pills.
This practice infuriates me and should be forbidden. In the Netherlands psychiatrists work together with psychologists and nurses etc. They look at what circumstances the person lives in, involves the family and direct environment in the diagnose / treatment. And only if necessary they prescribe pills.
It is no use to prescribe pills if you are not willing to look at the cause of the mental illness. If you don't treat the cause you are just fighting the symptoms. I have seen several people turn into zombies where I am sure those persons really did not need to be.
This is completely against what I have studied for, and a strategy that was used in other parts of the world, decades ago.
@@BenvanBroekhuijsen true even in turkey the first appointment is with a phycologist if he sees that your condition needs medicine 💊 he will refer you to a psychiatrist, I know a many people that takes medicine for mental issues, but I see that they doesn't need it's just some people like to complicate things and they don't accept the simple solution.
@@Hasan_reacts Yes mild forms of depression for instance can be easily cured by doing sports. This way your body creates the neurotransmitters you need in a natural way instead of forceing it with chemicals that have a zillion side effects.
Sometimes even eating different can influence how you feel. Pills should always be the last resort.
@BenvanBroekhuijsen yes therapy works for some . But when the diagnosis is bipolar , schizophrenia, ect therapy is useless . Patients need medications , life long illness with no cure , it's just medication management for life .
Dave, I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with extensive experience treating mental illness for over 30 years. I’m planning to move to Portugal in 2024 to work with expats and expand my practice. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to contribute to Portugal society in a positive way. I like you, am working through exposure therapy to manage severe PTSD symptoms such as panic, depression and agoraphobia after my 22 year son was killed in a violent DUI hit and run in California. I no longer can live in California, it’s too painful and I’ve been in Hawaii trying to manage living with the hole in my soul. I have had a strong pull to Portugal since childhood and recently visited for my second time. I knew immediately that this is where I need to be as I made many friendships with Portuguese in my travels. Hearing your story helps. ❤
Thanks for all the great information you share.
Be kind and show compassion. Absolutely. Thanks for sharing. Having two siblings with mental illness, one of whom was self medicating with weed and illegal pills, heroin, mushrooms etc, I relate. Fortunately both of them live in Australia which has better mental health services than in the US or Canada where I live. They would be homeless if not for the help they received. Glad the move to Portugal worked for you and your mental health.
Hi Dave. Thank you for confronting difficult topics of discussion in your videos such as these. We have enjoyed visiting and vacationing in the U.S. for years. The gun violence there for us has been a concern for many years to the point that we don't go out at night in certain cities in the U.S. when visiting. I remember you mentioned that you had a gun pointed at your chest during a robbery I think in the past. Did that point start your anxiety episodes. We have gang related gun violence where we currently live. On our recent visit to Portugal the sense of safety around us , yes even out at night in big cities was an eye opener to where we plan to travel in the future.
Not gonna lie i still can't tell (for some wierd reason i can't "decypher") what anxiety or even depression is or what is about (maybe i also need therapy) but i do know it's real and alot of people suffer for it, even seems like the number of people suffering from it keeps increasing and that is a bit scary. There should be more help available for this issues cuz a cut on the finger can heal in a couple of days sometimes without any help needed even but a "cut" in your soul doesn't just heal by itself so easily. Dave i love your content, keep the good work, huge hug from Aveiro.
Wow! Thank you so much for opening up and sharing such a personal thing.
Thank you Dave. Great video on an important topic. I love your raw honesty. Keep it up!
Thank you for sharing Dave
Great topic! Not enough people openly talk about this! Thank you and more importantly, congrats on your personal achievements and success stepping outside your comfort zones and finding new joys!
Hi Dave. Kudos to you for broaching such an important topic with courage and honesty.
Thanks for this, Dave. You present very well. I really like your content in general, as you have helpful insights on many topics. I especially appreciate your discussing mental health in different countries, and that you shared your experiences with it. You are courageous and honest for those who are striving to be so but are not there yet. Your journey inspires others to keep trying our best to improve our own mental health.
Thank you for making this thoughtful video. Very important
Love the video and your care and concern for the suffering of others. This is not a heavy or dark video …. I found it uplifting 🎉
Thank You for Your sincerity and valuable information.❤
Thank you for posting this. It is something that weighs heavily on me and I appreciate your perspective and information about how Europe approaches this.
I loved this video! Txk U Dave to share that so personal about u!
❤️
Thank you for raising this important subject
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your excellent post concerning mental health issues. Very important to be discussing this.
Your channel is doing a fantastic job in promoting mental health awareness. I'm eager to learn more and engage with like-minded individuals. 🔗
Wow Dave that is incredible. So proud of you that not only have you been achieving more social and less anxiety but you moved to another country. That's amazing. Good for you. Here's to many more healthy, happy and great experiences in Portugal> Thanx for sharing. I do enjoy your vids. Gina in Upstate New York USA hopefully moving to Portugal
Thank you for this video, Dave. It’s a very important topic that needs to be discussed, so society can find ways to help those people.
❤ Sending you love and good vibes ❤
Loved this video
This video was very interesting
Much appreciated
May God continue to direct your path
Thank you Dave ❤
Hi Dave,
This is a great video. I was sorry to hear about your relatives facing issues of mental health in the United States. My question is what did you do to try to help them?
I am glad that you shared your own struggle with agoraphobia and it seems as though you have recovered from it.
Europe, generally speaking, does a better job taking care of homeless people and the mentally ill. However, they pay more in taxes as a percentage of income than the United States. The state is expected to provide needed services because of this.
There is a stigma against the mentally ill in the United States. You are right about institutions that house the mentally ill Jails and prisons are the worse places for them but because there is no strong commitment to provide needed social services to help the mentally ill and this is therefore where they are sent.
I have a friend who is a Circuit Court Judge in Miami-Dade County named Steve Leifman. The best word to describe him is mensch. He started out as a public defender and became a judge. He is known nationwide for his efforts to help the mentally ill who are in the criminal justice system. He is one person who struggles with the bureaucracy but until there is a societal commitment not to stigmatize the mentally ill, major changes are not possible.
Society as a whole has to be brought around to changing its attitude about homelessness and the mentally ill.
Great episode ❤️
Dave...so beautiful and honest...so admire your candour
Hey Dave, over the past few years, the mental health crisis has grown exponentially in the LA area of Beverly Hills/West Hollywood. I was just thinking if these homeless mentally ill drug addicts were stray pets, we'd have tons of support to shelter them humanly. I applied for a job at LA Public Law Center as a staff attorney more than a decade ago. There were 12 administrators at the interview! I got drilled by these Uber Liberal management attorneys, though I was the only one with a master's degree in social work. Wow, I terminated the interview as it was clear, the client was the mentally ill person would dictate the representation and I had to take their position, no matter how harmful it would be to them, I had to support their psychotic wishes. Republicans don't want to spend the $ to force treatment/care, and Democrat's don't want to usurp the mentally ill person's self-determination. That's a marriage made in heaven=do nothing and they both wins, except the most vulnerable.
Thank you for making this brave and honest video. CZcamsr’s have a tendency to make everything seem perfect and that isn’t reality. I’m old enough to remember when the US provided care for mental issues. Political changes in the 80’s saw the closure of federally assisted facilities nationwide resulting in a huge increase in homelessness. For decades I’ve said that many of the people that you see on the streets aren’t just homeless, they are ill and just dumped there. People don’t want to see the homeless but refuse to vote for funding to help them. I’m in the process of transitioning permanently to my newly purchased home here where the people have been very kind to me and life has been less stressful. Keep up the good work.
Very well done Dave. 😉
Dave, I am so very appreciative of you taking up this topic, on your CZcams channel. Quite courageous! Over the past 4 months I have watched at least, 100 different videos on how to move to Portugal (Lisbon to start AND, before the next election!). I’m sure you are aware, of how much content is out there! Every expat group known to man. 😅That I have found so much useful, in watching your videos (particularly this one), is not an understatement. I am a successful D.C. / Seattle psychotherapist with a loyal, clientele. But, Dave, I have wanted out of here for a long time! My mental health and really, my life depends on me leaving. The jig is up. Bullets are flying everywhere, and everywhere men, women, children, and families with pets, are blanketing Our street, naked, starving and freezing. The mental health, drug addiction, and poverty crisis in America is indefensible. The balance is way off, far behind the line of humanity. What I am witnessing is of another world crazy. So, yes, I am ready to go. To continue to do the important work I do, but, from a place where I can breathe. I have chosen Portugal. I would like to make the move by September 2024. The past two years I’ve focused on making this move to Bali. However, as much as I love Bali, it is not the solution for me. My wish is continue my psychotherapy practice, at first, as a digital nomad, but later to provide professional, mental health counseling to the Expat population, or general population in the city, in which I choose. Thank you again. -Temple
Hey Dave! I really enjoy your content! Thanks for producing it! If you’re open to to feedback on this video, I wanted to let you know that the text effects that you used for the titles and paragraphs really hurt my eyes and actually made me a bit physically sick. I’m not an expert on this, but the moving (jiggling) text might not be an appropriate effect to use on large amount of text. To note, I generally watch your content on a television, so viewers viewing your content on a phone or tablet, might not experience the same issue as myself. Thanks again for your great and thoughtful videos!
Mental health is everything
For a lot of people, mental health is still viewed as health concern for rich people. Sure, we have a healthcare system, but I have no idea how could I get an appointment for adhd, but I guess I would have to wait a decade or so since it was half a year waiting list in the private sector. As usual, in Portugal, you just get things done if you know someone who knows someone
Sefor ao Centro de Saúde marcam-lhe uma consulta para Psiquiatria (se for necessário), para um hospital. Demora tempo, mas tem acesso pelo público. É claro que se for ao privado demora menos tempo... As listas de espera não são exclusivas de cá; em qualquer lado as terá.
@@vervideosgiros1156 nunca disse que era exclusivo de cá, mas eu falo de cá pois é onde tenho consultas. E o facto de ser mais rápido no privado fazia exactamente parte do meu ponto. Se até no privado há essa lista de espera, então no público nem quero imaginar. E temos que ser honestos, para alguém ser mesmo acompanhado a fundo no público tem que chegar ao esgotamento antes de ser levado a sério.
Não é só cá em Portugal, em todo o lado a saúde mental não é levada a sério o suficiente. E o facto de ser pior nos outros sítios não serve de desculpa para não melhorarmos esse problema por cá
@@quimquim89 Também acho que não é desculpa, mas, tendo em conta que somos um país relativamente pobre (para os padrões europeus) e que temos o 12o melhor serviço de saúde do mundo, a saúde é, proporcionalmente melhor em relação a oitros países.
The more older i get, the more i realise that many diseases from body, mind and soul came from the disconnection from nature, our relation with the environment and communities. A life more simple, with less goods, but more hand made, far from megalopolis where you are not just a number but a name.
Education must require to know and live all aspects of society, that we ignore at all cost trying to reach what marketing sell us. An education where you are responsable for caring for others and nature will teach you your real value, how to live, and push you on the tracks to achive your real capacities and live goals.
Wow, that was different Dave, 😳. Well done coping with your anxiety and sharing a caring message, even if it is from a commercial enterprise in business to make profit for shareholders.
Thank you for this topic, Dave, and thank you for sharing your own personal challenges. I can definitely relate, hence a personal hesitance to make the next giant leap. I am thrilled to hear that this huge transition was transformative and successful for you. You have inspired me to part with some hesitation and just take the plunge. Thank you again for covering such an important broader cultural dilemma.
From my xp; to anyone who's ever been a victim of hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race: DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had kinda androgynous look, which was a fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)
WIth the rise of social media in early 2010's and the celebration of the unachievable beauty standards, the horrendous promotion of vanity and superficiality and neglect of cyber bullying, the mental health has been completely overlooked for years.
Thanks for the wise words. One of the gargantuan things lacking in today's world is kindness. For both our-selves and others.
@@josephrego2527 Hi, thanks so much for the reply
Please try alternatice medicine to address anxiety, or even mental/emotional illness. Homeopathy, meditation, etc.
There are some mental health conditions that can be treated with therapy. But also do know many mental health illnesses can not , example schizophrenia, biploar disorder, need medication for life there is no cure for such diseases. Its life long medication management
I just loved the Topic. I also suffer from Agoraphobia, in a milder level, but iIt can mess with your hability to perform basic stuff outside your house. But i have all the tools wich i need to win it... no big deal. 🎉🎉🎉
Panic attacks are not fun, especially if you dont know you're having a panic attack, and you actually think you're having a heart attack, which happened to me, during covid lockdown, i started having panic attacks systematicly some times 3 or 4 times a day, luckely i have some one in my family that is a doctor, and i eventually found out that they where just panic attacks which made me abble to " control " them, even so, despite being no where near where i was in that regard, every now and again i still fell them, though now i can easily control it.
Homelessness in Norway is a lot about people being given housing they don't want. Norwegian authorieties has always worked hard to find housing for people, but homeless people in Norway is usually homeless either because they have an addiction, some also come with a nomad lifestyle. I had a friend who wanted to live on a boat, but Norwegian authorities didn't want to accept the address. For that reason I think people who look homeless on the streets of Oslo, the capital, has houses to live in, but don't want to be there. I also know that some people are being sent back to their home town because the capital don't wanna pay for them. That often happens to underage kids.
Mr. Dave 💙🙏🏼🫡😤
Ola. O meu marido esta com depressao e pelo que percebo um dos grandes problemas e
a frustacao de n ter o poder de controlar certas situacao da vida. N somos super herois.
So here in San Francisco it is an epidemic. The homeless get free drugs, free food and fee housing, but they don’t go into the housing b/c to many restrictions. There is a lot of mental I’ll on the streets and the police just can’t do anything with them. We need more hospitals to treat these people. Just have to build them out of the cities in rural areas with cheap land.
Or reopen our state institutions that were all closed and mostly are still sitting vacant. It costs CA so much more to manage what happens with them when homeless than it would to treat them effectively.

Hi Dave, do a video comparing European and U.S.A. wines
On a lighter note but a fun idea....why not? Randy/GA(USA)
The Netherlands has a great system, but first you must defeat the paracetamol level, which is incredibly difficult because paracetamol probably fixed the issue.
*Fennoscandia may be better than the US* for mental health (if we ignore the suicide rate, specially in the dark Winter) but the US is way more advanced than countries like Portugal.
We should address the mental elephant in the room. In the States *any and everything is for profit.* Education, health, prisons/jails, so is always hard to compare that to Europe.
Now there are differences in countries within Europe, abismal differences, however these services are very distinct from the US.
You have *free health care and education* (any level) in Finland. You have private and public in Portugal. Whereas you get prescribed Paracetamol for *anything* in the Netherlands (and unlike Portugal you need Insurance).
And I won’t speak about other countries as I haven’t seen the really there.
it could be helpful a plenty of people, that you share your own story at the end :)
My son went to prison when he was 18. He was a healthy young man. 5 years later after so much isolation and the use of synthetic drugs inside prison, he became so mentally ill that I don't know what J will do when he is released in 2024. Instead of treatment, he keeps getting isolation which is inhumane.
It should be mentioned that countries have different definitions of homeless. I know many people who have been officially homeless, but none of them has ever slept outside or in a tent because they had to.
❤
👏👏👏👏👏
Hi dave whats up well what can I say mental health is a huge problem in the us and in my country there's people who are those mentally ill wants to say bad things against everyone and everyone leaving their homes countries for some reasons
When it comes to mental illness it's long been one of the posts on the budget the parliament finds it easiest to take from if they need money. Something I find a bit odd. Often when you ask Norwegians about mental health treatments in Norway they complain, complain, complain. Norwegains are good at complaining. There is a long waiting list for treatment with a psychiatrist, several months. It has long been a problem that people who are arrested by the police and need treatment end up in prison cells because there is not treatment facility available. Still I think it's easy to make these problems much bigger than they are, compared to the US I think they are minor.
I like comparison if you want to see how someone is doing better but don't think in Europe we do things better. We may do some things better but not all.
Unfortunately, America is the country of broken people who have lost sight of what is important and move between social media, purchasing, consumption and superficiality. Too much is too much. You forget the important things in life and worry about nonsense. Of course, at some point you are lost, mentally and physically. the country with the most depression and overweight people in the world. But how should it be? When the country you live in is only looking to provide instead of taking care of its citizens. On the contrary, it shows you the American dream, which only a few can live.
Oh Dave, I don't like this video. I got treated for a severe depression and a problem with anxiety which I don't know the name in english, I've been struggling with the same problems since I was 21, I'm about to be 39 next month, I got through college severely medicated, not easy. You might ask me, "but why don't you go back to meds?". I don't want to be a zombie anymore, taking meds or doing drugs is pretty much the same, there's simply no treatment. Dave, you with "transtorno de ansiedade generalizada", travelling around the world all by yourself, with your accomplishments, you must be proud of yourself. Agoraphobia is fricking awful, every time you go outside is like a leap of faith from assassin's creed "let's see how it goes". Summing it up, I'm not doing any treatment simply because I don't want to do it anymore, I could start a new treatment next week with close to no expenses, mental illnesses here have the same attention as cancer
Good video Dave. If you aren't already doing I would recommend you (or anyone) to also read the bible. Having God in our life is very important.
This is exactly the problem with Catholic countries like Portugal and why our depression rates are so high. The Bible hasn’t and never will cure mental illness especially like schizophrenia.
It is not only dangerous but irresponsible to think this way
@@Diogohenriquescaralho I didn't write to not look for professional help. It is not exclusive.
Does mental health follow substance abuse? I think as usual the solution is simple, but people would have to get disciplined and self accountable. Ultimately it is a spiritual thing, kick God out ( Christ to be specific) and there you go. But that is not politically correct.
Why don't you go live there then if you prefer Europe.
Did you even watch the video?
He lives in Europe 🤡
What a childish comment. And also an ignorant one as he DOES live there.
These "sponsor" moments are annoying and phony.
