- This is a fictional short story. However, the study referenced in the middle is based on a real study known as the "Lost In The Mall" experiment, which found that in the right conditions, we can assimilate or create entirely fake memories.

Me at 3 am, trying to convince myself that the really cringey thing I did when I was 7 never *actually* happened:
I do the exact same thing. I really don't know why my mind chooses to bring me back to an event when all it does is hurt me.
@@GordonGarvey It's called PTSD. The basic defining characteristic of PTSD is being unable to forget traumatic memories.
Me at times, trying not to forget betrayals and wonky memories from age 7 or so
Gordon O'Gairbhith that is a basic surving skill our mind does to protect ourselves, it’s in our nature
Aww, how bad could it be? You were 7. I personally haven't judged any 7 year olds very harshly in my time...
If a false memory can enhance your life, a false memory may also do damage. And there is no way of knowing. This is a frightening concept, delivered in the most elegant way possible.
Contradictory how this comment was also delivered in the most elegant way possible as well.
Nothing more elegant than thicc thighs
When u find out ur own false memory but they are so fucking much then who the fuck i am which one is me which i lied to myself too much and now i cant find my real character lol someone please fuck me to dead
This happens, there's cases of people believing they've been abused by parents due to therapists convincing them it has happened and is the reason for their present issue.
I dont think this is the point of the video , to show that false memories can bring you success, but the purpose of the video is showing that there is this psychological phenomenon. It also could have been a bad achievement, this is not the point, the point is that we sometimes save memories that didnt really happen, let it be by having been told a lie by a friend or due to other reasons...
Imagine Steven watching the Oscars, being the only person to remember who actually worked on charlie's first film.
He probably convinced himself he dreamt it all, as it was probably a one-time thing they did and forgot about it.
F
steven is far more capable than he beleive but he didn't follow it to the end . so he'll never know what he could have been
This exact situation propably happened more times than we think. Either way, noone would believe him. He would be confused and angry for a moment but just move on with life I guess.
@@samurai4663 yea just moving on with the dogma
This is probably the least depressing video on this channel.
It's depressing from Steven's point of view

ok all jokes aside we ACTUALLY went to middle school together. i was the redhead who's art always got hung up!
I was also there when you made that phenomenal painting. Do you remember me? I was the weird kid in class who used to randomly dance for no reason...

The funny thing is.. these fake memories can support us, or create false sensations of incapabilities based in irreal things.
Exactly!! It's like if someone hates public speaking but is forced to do so, then he/she can simply plant a fake memory that how good they were in public speaking!! And if care of not overstepping the limits of confidence is taken, one could literally become a good public speaker with enough practice..!!
@Venky Wank well it may or may not work but atleast we've something positive to think about haha
my guy just said irreal instead of unreal it's bothering me
@@kylechristophero.raquid4591 That's just the way you remember reading it
@Venky Wank maybe yeah, maybe not. But considering the fact that there's a chance it might work you should believe in the thing that benefits you the most. Like if you feel like you can't do something you can make yourself believe you have some kind of hidden talent on that, and convince yourself you just need to practice to make it come out because if you managed to practice enough to make the talent come out you're destined to be a very important person in the future. Maybe think your situation is like Thomas Alfa Edison,if it fails just keep trying and by the 1000th attempt you will succeed and have your name remembered throught history... or something
If we can’t trust our memories, what’s left to trust?

Well i always thought that lying to a child and not giving them honest feedback was unfair but now I understand it's value. Thanks
It's not better if you make the child think he is good at something he is not because he will feel like he is not capable engough. I watched a video about that, and I think it was from the same youtube channel, not sure tho.

I have this extremely visual and even painful memory of my father disciplining me by knee'ing on legomatts, with my arms straight fowards with a sht load of books on my arms
It only happened once from what i know and he even told me in that memory that that was how he used to be disciplined by his mother when he was a kid
I sometimes jokingly mention it and my father always denies it and is like " that never happened, i never made you knee on legos with a bunch of books on your arms, i just told you that i had to do this"

@@backbone93 i remember eating pad thai with my family, my dad was using tongs to pick it up but dropped it on my hand when I was reaching for the noodles , he looked unapologetic , my mom yelled at my dad and rushed me to the bathroom to wash my hand with cold water. both my parents said it never happened, and my sister barely recalls. i question if it was real. but my mom definitely made us eat in the bathroom because both me and my sister member it.
I once recorded a 30 minute audio of a party. On playback, all the events were there but in different order! My mind was 100% sure of the event sequence that was contradicted in the recording and my mind would not change itself.
About 30 years ago I carried a little recorder around with me so I could hear myself in conversations. I was kinda shocked by what a know-it-all prick I sounded like. I've changed since then... I hope.

@Izzy Jordan oops
In some families, it's just too dangerous to question someone else's memory or version of events. Probably not in this family, but in some families. We would never say "Wait it didn't happen like that" in my family, because we would be too afraid someone might start to remember how it really happened. Which wouldn't be good for anyone.
Mandela effects are a collective false memories.

@@nvmffs I do. And that repetition becomes reality.
Kit-Kat. Sketchers. Berenstein.
When I was very young, my sister almost drowned at a wavepool. She was saved by a middle aged blonde woman. My sister was probably 4-5 and I was 5-6 but For some reason I believed that I was the one who was drowning that day and I have vivid memories of being saved by the same woman. Idk if it was just traumatic that my sister almost died or what but I was telling my family one day jokingly about this memory of mine and my parents and sister kinda looked at me like “that was your sister”. I denied that and said I can remember it but I kinda believe them now just because all of them believe that so I was prob just young and dumb.
Maybe because it was so scary and you empathised with the danger your sister was in it felt like it happened to you. Memories have a way of being maintained by a sense of logic rather than pure recreation of the event as it happened. To a kid it might have made sense that something that scared them that much must have happened directly to them. Even to adults there's plenty of people who think they saw 9/11 in person when they only saw it on TV (not in a conspiracy sort of way, it's called a flashbulb memory).
same here. I get mixed up with my memories and my sisters
Moral of the story: Never trust a guy named Nick

@@basha6376 From one of the Assassin's Creed games. It's not the full quote but that's the only part I remember.

I love your style💝
Yep. I'm 26vyears old and only recently started to live this way. It's not easy, but it helps with meditation!
I have a feeling this advice you gave is one of the most important things for anyone to learn, as long as they also learn humility and successfully combine the two concepts. That's the part I think is really hard to figure out, depending on the person and where they are at in life. Eg. Someone who has been learning more humility and to "take oneself less seriously" could struggle with depression and self confidence. But adding in your advice, if one can actually apply it (not just understand it), then that person can likely live with internal peace. So how does one learn to not pay too much attention to the stuff that drags them down?
@@TheSkystrider I commented earlier today and mentioned meditation. I'm not sure if you are aware of any kind of practice of meditation, but it teaches you to observe and acknowledge your thoughts. So, let's say during meditation session you encounter a negative thought. You observe it, acknowledge it, and just let it go. Watch as it comes and goes just as you would looking at clouds or cars passing by. You don't think too much into the clouds or the cars passing by. You let them show up, you acknowledge the thought, and let the thought go. Meditation has taught me not to react to my negative thoughts. It has taught me to live in the present moment and appreciate what is going on at the moment. So it helps to meditate. It let's you take a step back to observe and learn your thinking patterns and how to let go of the negative thoughts which eventually you learn how to let go of negative thinking patterns so that you can incorporate positive thinking patterns. Hope this helps!
Maybe I'm misinterpreting your comment but it just sounds like you're asking to be disconnected from any sense of reality. It's easy to forget the things that drag you down but to a degree the thing that drags you down keeps you grounded to what's going on around you to a degree. Instead of ignoring some type of signs you see at least slightly looking into it allows for perspective? Do you HAVE to? No. But the more you take the path of only remembering "positive" the more you neglect everything you don't find positive. and what's positive to you could be negative to other people around you

It’s all about status in the tribe. The whole charade is about being accepted.
No doubt there are countless talented filmmakers or whatever, who are cooking fries or washing cars at the moment. It has never been about what you can offer, it’s all about what you can offer that will make people accept you. No wonder celebrities are so messed up, in many cases, it’s not about money or possessions, it’s all about being liked!
This has helped me tremendously! Everyone is secretly a scared child who depends on the acceptance of the tribe to feel secure. “Here is your Oscar!” “You like me! You really really like me!” Wow! Mind blown. Thanks!

I actually think I’ve given myself a false memory of a trauma... I think possibly I had a dream at some point (I have always had very vivid dreams) and I think I mixed it up with reality and I really don’t know how to distinguish whether it happened or not at this point (almost 15 years later)
What is it, exactly?
Dylan Malloy that when I was about 9 I was at my brothers soccer meet and one of his teammates trapped me in the washroom and sexually assaulted me... 100% do not know if it happened or not but I specifically remember the person and can visualize the washroom but not the actual assault? So either my brain blocked it partially out and it did happen or it didn’t happen and my brain is trying to piece together a fake memory???? So confusing
@@jessicaelder8882 whether or not it happened exactly the
Sorry I had quite a large reply typed out and somehow lost it during send
Even if it didn't happen exactly the way you remember it I would bet that something traumatic did happen to you. Even believing that something horrible could have happened to you, especially if spurred by suggestions from those you look up to, could be traumatizing. After all having a vivid memory or imagining of an event is all the same
In conclusion. Another strong example of why Optimism is the best policy even if it goes against reality. Pragmatism and growth mindset in a nutshell. Beautifully illustrated.
what makes this scary is that if the false memory actually suggests the opposite, questioning your abilities, I think that's why people fall into gaslighting easily.

This happens a lot with relationships after break ups. Your memory of your ex is clouded by the fantasy of the relationship rather than the actual things you did and said together. I believe this is a form of false memory. Because it takes a realisation sometimes to be conscious of the fact that it was not reality and only the way you had wished for things to go.
Then your whole perception of your ex may be false or mainly just confused with the response your own brain had during the relationship
I have this as some childhood memories, but because of the color this memories have, I know... they are only at on point true and mostly false. Cant explain it, but the way I remember and see things, feel things is so different... x'D
Plot twist: *This Video is trying to make you think your memories are fake* 👀
I once truly believed that I would unlock the mysteries of the universe only to find myself lost in an abyss beyond comprehension.
I still find things along the way. I find things that nobody has ever told me before. Things that nobody would ever consider, yet are fundamentally sound.
My latest finding was the chance of being. Titled "The Chance Of Being", I began questioning what are the chances of me being here now. My quest for an answer began small.
My greatest and grandest parents had to have conceived their child at a specific and precise second. That child had to meet a specific person and also conceive a child at a certain time. A second earlier or later, I would not be, so I thought.
Subjectively, new information has entered my mind that gives me reason to believe that I'm inevitable. The second law of thermodynamics. Energy can not be created or destroyed, but only transformed. Does that not define an eternal past and an eternal future?
If the past and the future is eternal, if my duration is limited in any way, the chance of me being here now sits next to a literal infinity. This means that it's either impossible for me to be here now, or it's impossible for my duration to be limited. Yet, I'm here now.
Are you with me?
Okay I have two questions, my friend..
1. Have you ever done acid or smoked weed?
And 2. Were you my sibling in a past life? 😅
I've had the same thoughts. The law of thermodynamics is the only thing that has stopped me from questioning and being afraid of what happens when we die. As Alan Watts once said (paraphrased) "what's it like falling asleep and never waking up? Well that's death. And waking up without having ever fallen asleep is when you were born".. You should check him out, my dude. He's got so many amazing lectures
@@rayparker5855 Yes, I have done some _partying_ in my younger days, but I've been clean for years now. Allen Watts does make some astonishing points. Like him, I could also go on for days speaking of the things that I've seen both physically and mentally. You might begin to assume that I'm a loon if I share my bizarre experiences.
Imagine an ultimate origin, an absolute without a beginning or an ending. To say that what all has came from and is going to would be a digression, but to say that what all is would be more accurate.
An _all,_ what would an _all_ want more than what the _all_ does not have? Perhaps the experience of a duration, a wonder, a question and many other things, lots of things from black to white, from a friend to a foe. Complexity and confusion, separation, a scattered _all_ for rhyme and reason.
I will refrain from sharing the physical phenomena that I've experienced, as what I've seen comes from what is beyond me.
@@cidguy Some of your logic is sound but you need to be careful of what the imagination can conjure.
It might be true that there is no free will, as we are all just a science experiment of matter and physics and chemical reactions.
But for you own mental health, it is probably best to not dwell on such things too much. What good does acknowledging pre-determination do? Where does it get you?
What can one do with this information?
Better I think to try to enjoy the human experience. And not take personal revelation too seriously. Unless you are keen to enjoy the human experience of a padded room HAH

Your channel brings me to tears most times. Keep up the wonderful work!
Sometimes we just need a little appreciation from others for our work, to continue following our dreams and feeling motivated. Unfortunately many of us cannot get that appreciation.
"You're only as capable as you believe you are. Some people aren't nearly as capable as they believe they are. Some people are far more. And some people are exactly right. And you can only find out which one you are by following it to the end."
"Sometimes you only become capable because you believe you are."
The mind plays greater tricks than the eyes
You’re often only as capable as you believe you are and better yet perhaps sometimes you only become capable because you believe you are.
This happens to me. My parents use to tell stories of my sisters and I use to retell them thinking the memory was of myself. I genuinely thought it was my memory.
now this really proves that you should not dwell on the past and just move forward and enjoy life
Do you ever just watch this kinda channels so they can change bad habits but in the end you realise it was all pointless?

You hope for some self growth from these videos but most are filler for entertainment value unfortunately. Still not bad.
The only point is the point you make. There go change something. It’s on you.
Well it’s how much you yourself are willing to allow these words to stay present with you. I got diagnosed with ADD a few years back and I’d be lying if I wasn’t excited for the effects adderall would give me, but after taking it I came to the realization that this drug wasn’t going to make me do the work to be better, I had to, on my own.
Atleast you acknowledge the problem. Now even if you hear these same messages over and over, maybe that one story that’s told will be the one that clicks with you. Good luck
Fake memories do in fact harm you, but also support you. I am an example of that, as I have many fake memories, sometimes I forget they’re fake and sometimes I don’t. So when I tell one friend one thing and tell another friend something similar but a bit different, if they discuss it together they would probably think I made it up. Which is why it’s so hard to have fake memories. But sometimes these memories cover up a darker memory that actually happened, which is the upside and helps me cope. But in general it’s weird to have this “lie” implanted in your brain..
Really fascinating, I wish I could know which of my memories are real and which are false
Also for anyone wondering, the music at the end is Rain by Valter Nowak
thanks for the music info :)
So you would never really know if a memory is real or not then, basically part of our life’s could be fake
this happened to me quite a few times, my mum mistakes me with my sister and tells me stories that weren’t actually mine, not only i believed her i genuinely remember what happened and how i felt at those times. then my sister tells me it wasn’t me it was her… it feels like your whole identity is a lie 😂😂
Every video you make is an absolute gold mine. I love your work, keep it up
Those videos take me of some of the most fascinating journeys I've ever encountered, thanks for that!
So if memories aren't what defines us, who are we?
What does the remembering and why is it separate from memories.
BTW, this story sounded like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Memories define us, they simply don't have to be rooted in reality nor is it something solid. There are memories or the memories of feelings that are regarded exeptionally important, only to be lost in time and replaced by others. I think Pixar did a great job showing this process in "Inside out".
We are the observer of our thoughts
Memories doesn't define us it just define our way or perceiving things by experience, our brain alter our memories everytime based on our emotions or other things, creating false memories, remembering is remembering real memories and experiences, it happens automatically like when a song can remind you of a certain event, you can't control it.
This leads into Buddhist ways of viewing life. Death of the self, death of the ego.
I have been told by my parents my whole life that when I was three I attempted to go pet a cow and got my hand stuck in an electric fence. My dad rescued me and I was perfectly fine. I have no memory of this among many other stories and I wonder just how much of what I think I know about myself is true.
this made me realize that manipulative adults could easily create a false memory in children where they appear as heroic to make the child feel an obligation to respect them

Me:I want memories!
Mom:We've got memories at home.
Memories at home:
this is sooo marvelous. thank you.
These are so good. So healing.
Lovely! Also though, self-edited memories are often used to justify why we aren't good enough, or don't deserve something, or are the outsider. I'm glad you bring it up though, because noticing where these thoughts come from (usually nowhere real) is the beginning of getting out from under them. Hope you all edit nice memories for yourselves. Cheers!
Wow this is like the best documentary ever actually
wow these videos just keep getting better and better!
definitely sharing this with my psych professor. we had a chapter that talked about the false memory/misinformation effect and that association is what brought me to want to watch this video. also:
this ended in such a wholesome way that my heart swelled :')
i vividly remember stepping into an abandoned house that got burnt down and i remember it was down my street but instead when i went there like 2 years later it was just an empty lot, it was probably a dream. Then i went to an actual burnt down house in an adventure w my friends and it looked the same lmao, but i didnt remember the dream enough to see if it was the same exact house so it probably wasnt me predicting the future but whatever
Fake memories during school: *"You totally did your homework."*
What a beautiful message, we're always told he have to believe in ouselves but eventhough you try it you cant fully believe in yourself bc there is nothing which makes u believe. This video gave the word a higher meaning, believing means really to be convinced by something, in this case by your skills due to maybe an experience, a compliment, an achievement etc
woah this is terrifying, mix a bad memory with gaslighting and loosing touch with reality really fucks up the mental :/
My friends motivated me to smoke and used to say it is not bad
And they were right its 4 year of me successfully smoking
And it's dangerous too. This is exactly what narcissists were doing to their victims.
My mom use to have seizures and she had brain surgery, luckily the seizures were totally gone... but she has replaced some memories with others that aren’t true at all, or they are very close to what they were but slightly different in some way. Sometimes after seizures she forgot who I was or who my dad was for a little bit, the brain is weird.
Wow I just found your Chanel, and I'm just amazed! Your content is brilliant! Good job!
It makes me want to write all my memories down
My memories are too fckn priceless to be throw away!!! This is why I used to video everything and take pictures
I found out recently that my crush DIDN'T sign my yearbook in 8th grade :( it sounds insignificant but it is important to me. I wish I had kept the false memory
This is the best channel ever with amazing content. Keep up the good work guys. You'll are amazing.
I have a very strong memory of my own home -which does not exist yet. I oftentimes feel really homesick to that home i haven't built yet, but it's not imaginary house i am thinking, because when i have that image of my mind, i know every corner of my house -like a memory. So now i dedicate my works to built a future home from my memory, to finally come 'home'.
“It wasn’t nick......” yo where’s Steven 😭😭
Working @ starbucks
Imagine what would happen if Charlie (or Nick) opens up his daily journal diary from 6th grade the day he got his Oscar !! I wonder what his reaction would be lol
Absolutely beautiful. I love these philosophy topics you do. They are given in interesting ways that keep me listening. Love the stories
Every one of these videos leaves me with chills by the end it’s so profound
