Everywhere Sadness goes in Inside Out she is changing the memories from being about anger, fear, disgust or joy to being sad and blue. Memories that could’ve been created years ago or that are fundamental to who Riley is are suddenly changing due a simple touch by Sadness and I just couldn’t understand why she would be able to do this. Why, out of all the emotions, was she the only one to turn memories to her emotion?
I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

I have a simpler but less exciting explanation. Riley is depressed. Not just because of the move, but clinically. She's told by sources both outside (her mom) and in ("Joy") to always be happy. She's been trying to suppress her emotion of sadness so much that it's become bottled up. She's now got so much suppressed sadness in her that it's infecting even her view of once happy memories, thus why any memory "Sadness" touches becomes a sad memory.
Exactly. Her depression indicate Sadness was the real emotion all along. Real emotions are always more powerful than fake emotions.
wow I cried reading your explanation...
Dor, that is probaly why Sadness is her mom's cheif emotion... because as an adult she mastered her emotions and sadness is the more real emotion. Joy had her time but now Riley's growing up.
@@beatrixthegreat1138 in the mother's case, i think she's also disappointed of her husband (Riley's father) for at last 10 years. Which leads us to the reason why the father's main emotion is anger: he feels like his wife doesnt love him, which naturally make him angry.
dordonake good point, I also think it's his go to emotion because it's served him well though the years... anger is an aggressive emotion, controlling it and making it your chief emotion can make for a confident person but also short sighted... as evidenced by putting his foot down after seeing through Riley's eye roll as anything but disrespect... all the emotions have their good and bad points. Like it was pointed out, sadness can make you empathetic, you can see more compassionately. The father putting anger in charge can make him more protective, give him a drive to fight harder i.e. Work harder for the promotion that moved his family. The Mother's compassion let her understand her daughter was going through some things but until Riley finally cried there wasn't much she could understand since this was uncharted water for her. Joy was no longer in charge and no one knew what Sadness was for. Sadness is not a terrible thing. Joy... can be. If you are happy all the time and have no trouble how can you see others in pain? You just wanna see people happy all the time and this can backfire. But you need joy to balance the sad just like anger needs fear. I know you know this just making it clear that I do.
I was shocked to find out that sadness saved the day because it really does bring people together though the tough times.
I agree
What I always presumed was that the story arc of Sadness as a character was a commentary on how in society people are expected to always suppress their sad emotions and just be happy and ok all the time. Joy actively suppressed everything that was sad in Riley's life so that Riley couldn't remember them - repressed emotion always causes problems. Inside Out is more than just Riley getting accustomed to a new life, with all the difficulties that entails, it's about Riley learning to stop repressing her feelings that she had had boiling inside of her just below the surface - feelings that Joy wouldn't allow to come out because of how it change people's perceptions of her.
That means out of all the emotions saddness is the most important.
The purpose of each emotion:
Joy: makes the host seek gratification in life.
Sadness: alerts the host's neighbors that he/she is in emotional distress.
Anger: prompts the host to seek justice.
Disgust: prevents the host from getting poisoned (physically or socially).
Fear: keeps the host safe from danger (physical or social).
" Out of the blue "
I see what you did there.
Yup! Same
You beat me to that by... 10 months... THATS MY JOKE.😂😂
Me too
Mimikyu MonoChromatic Lol! Same!!!
Why is Joy's hair blue? Should her hair be yellow. Janice has blue hair discussed has green hair and I see a little string on beer that is purple so why does Joy does not have yellow hair? I would like you to make the Theory Y Joyce hair is blue please?
It’s not just sadness. The same mind force will have other emotions turn certain memories to their own emotion by touch under the right circumstances. Have you ever looked back on a memory of being really sick or a fight with a loved one and think it’s funny? That’s Joy turning a red or green memory gold. You are betrayed by someone you thought was a friend, Anger would turn all your memories about that person red. You do something you think is fun only to realize how stupid and dangerous it was, that fear turning a happy memory purple.
Jon - I was betrayed by someone I thought was my best friend, several years ago, but I don't, and never have looked back on memories of and with her with anger; I often think of all the wonderful times we had in her bedroom, making up wild stories, worthy of trying to make a small book out of, and smile, sad, that we lost such a connection, a little angry with myself, for pushing her away.
When I was in middle school I had a friend named Brain. Then at the start of eight grade (my least favorite year of school) he and I had a falling out. When I tried being nice he threw it back in my face, and when I asked him what was wrong he blew me off. After that, I wanted nothing to do with him anymore. That's what I would call a happy memory turning angry.
I'm sorry about your friend from middle school, man...just as I will always be a little angry with myself, for pushing my "best friend" of 10 years away, because she wasn't listening to me, understanding what I was trying to tell her. Thinking back, my best guy friend is right - she and I were bound to drift apart someday, somehow, even if I hadn't given the first big push. But remember the expression "everything happens for a reason." There may be multiple different reasons we were each meant to lose our "friends", but speaking from personal experience, you can be damn sure that one of those reasons was to make room for a much better friend, who will treat you better, do more stuff with you, hang out with you whenever possible, and just never leave your side, emotionally.
You just blew my mind!😃
Katrina Marvin I've had a similar situation where I've lost a dear friend. I blame myself; I feel like I caused him to push me away.
I'm sorry you lost a friend. ❤😟🤗
😰
I always had to smile, and when I didn’t smile, people asked me what was wrong with me. Not what was wrong. What was wrong with me. I didn’t want to smile. With Sadness, I liked her character more than Joy. It’s hard always being happy. It’s easier being sad. But through being sad I was able to better learn about the world. Thanks my own Sadness.
Kendall Marssie same
Same but for me I'm the opposite of you. My mom would say "What happened to you?" "You've changed" "I think your way better when you were a child" That hurt a lot. OUCH
@@joselfebravago5132 I am sorry to hear that and the fact that your own mother said that to u, now That's hurtful. I hadn't met you in person but I can already tell you are a great person
Hey, if you don't want to smile their is nothing wrong with you. Everyday isn't always going to have a smile, nor is it going to be full of sadness. You wake up and let your live on the way it goes. Just breath and talk to others, never avoid your feelings
Yes same I'm a peppy, happy, extroverted and whenever I'm not happy (sometimes I don't know, I'm concentrated, or I'm upset about something) people always ask what's wrong and it helps to know that people do care and I don't stay upset for long though.😅
😰 I was always a very emotional child. My mom thought I had anxiety, but she never bothered to take me for a proper diagnosis.
This is what is happening to me
Yeah.
Sadness is the emotion that helps people makes friends along with joy and anger.
Issac is so cute! I never questioned sadness changing the memories color. I assumed it was an instinct cause Riley needed sadness.
Haha thank you! 😅 Hopefully my explanation made sense!
I like your explanation it's very sweet!
WHY DO PEOPLE PRONOUNCE HIS NAME WRONG LIKE MINE ISAAC ISAAC NOT ISSAC ITS ANNOYING because people spell my name wrong
I think the emotions behind memory’s can change overtime. A memory that once made you happy might now make you mad, a memory once made you sad might now make you happy. Riley moved states and the memory’s linked with everything she misses aren’t going to make her happy, there going to make her sad as she envious of her past as it was the life she was forced to give up for a life she didn’t want.😰
Envious... now look at that, the second movie will have an emotion called Envy
The reason sadness could change the memories is because all the memories Riley had were from her old home, and because she had moved, she would feel sad that she could never experience those things again. So when sadness touches a memory and make it sad, it's a way of showing how Riley would feel sad about moving away.
😰
I lived in 11 houses from the age of 6-18, not foster care or anything like that, just moved a lot with my mom. So I totally related to Riley. I cry everytime I watch this movie still. It just hits me way too close to my real life
Mello Cheesecake me too. My mom was married to someone in the military.
omg I only been is 6 and well I 12
I’ve moved a lot too, this movie hit me really hard...
I never never moved but it sounds fun and move that much seems unplesent but still
yea, I lived with my mom the rest of my life untill some family issues happened and I had to move in with my brother, watching that movie hit rly hard
I always interpretted it as Riley experiencing loss. The first memory we see sadness turn blue is the core memory of her friendship, with a friend she will likely never see again. Things that made us happy when they occured can make us sad when we think back on them after things change. An anniversery is a happy occasion and those memories are happy, but if that relationship ends that date can serve as a reminder of what we've lost and recalling those memories now can make us sad, at least until we move on. For Riley everything has changed and she hasnt had time to process her feeings, most of her memories will sadden her because right now she fees like she's lost everything - her friends, her school, her team, the home she grew up in. The visual of sadness tinting these memories felt like a perfect metaphor for this.
I feel the reason she can make memories blue is similar to when you lose a loved one. When your with a loved one (say a friend who passed for example) you feel happy. When they die you look back at those memories and feel heartbroken that you can never create memories like that anymore. You grow sad remembering what you can’t have anymore. Riley misses her home the same way you’d miss a friend.
You need all of your emotions!
Shaylah M. Even the feeling of spaghetti?
Especially the feeling of spaghetti.
Yes spaghetti
Like spaghetti?
Yup
This was a question I had for a long time so I'm happy my subscribers were interested in it so I could develop my thoughts on it! Thank you for watching and have a magical day!
Can you explain what would happen if the emotions dont touch the brain controls :)
Wotso Videos do Ernesto da la Cruz's full story
Wotso Videos hey I know its not that popular of a topic but trust me the theories you come up with is what bring people to the vids& you of course😊. But plz do an HTTYD vid!
Samantha Moesch Thats exactly why I am asking Sir Isaac Carlson 😎
I agree with your theory Issac! Nobody wants to be sad but it is our coping mechanism to deal with stress. We cannot be joyful if we are not at first strengthened by sadness. 🙂😭😱
So Sadness was turning those memories blue because they were 'calling out' to her? Is that right?
Like how the voice was calling Elsa
"why is this happening... out of the blue..." I see what you did there XD
Speaking of Inside Out, do you have any theories about why the in the mum's mind sadness seems to me the leader emotion? (And anger in the dad?)
Hol up, wait a minute, *somethin aint right*
With the dad, maybe anxiety or something related. With sadness, maybe Depression like Riley
Savannah Cheesebox Listen, I know you want to keep the movie pure, but let’s face facts. Disney is dark, and that just sounds like domestic abuse😅
I wasn't trying to make it sound pure. I know Disney is dark. Heck, Ariel stalked her crush and Aladdin lied and stole from people. And, on top of that, I know how it is to be abused domestically and that's not what this is.
Savannah Cheesebox Ok.
Thank you so much for adding me to the beginning. This is a great video. I'm glad it was more complex than just the feeling of nostalgia.
My pleasure! Thanks for letting your voice be heard and for voting on the poll!!!
Wotso Videos
Thank you for the ♥️! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the next episode.
Maybe Tick Tock Croc or Rex?
I just want to throw it out there that I just uploaded a video on this topic last week scheduled for next month - so I swear I didn't copy any points that cross over! lol >.
It’s ok
thats a big rip
I love your channel!!!😊😊😊
Deuce deuce me too
I've heard it theorized before that it's a metaphor for nostalgia.
3:43 Finally! Somebody who understands that Joy isn't "evil", it's just Riley's parents forced her to stay happy. That and it's a sign that Riley's going through puberty.
Those times you are nostalgic, and suddenly shed a tear, a little bit of necessary sadness has touched those moments
I don't know if it was a "mind force" exactly. I think it was due to Sadness's own abilities. Maybe she felt compelled to change the emotions because deep down she knew that was what Riley needed.
Ayanna Watts I think the "mind force" is Riley herself. I think Riley controls her emotions as much as her emotions control her. More or less.
thecreatorofthedark that makes sense
❤❤
Ayanna Watts or it’s just simple nostalgia
Sadness wasn't changing the memories, but she simply responding to Riley's need to cry. I think that after Riley had had a chance to express her sorrow, I think that the memories Sadness touched began returning to their original color.
I thought since Riley moved she started seeing all her past memories as sad. Like I got an ice cream and I dropped it but I got a free another scoop. I saw that as happy. But then I dropped that scoop and I couldn’t get another. Now I see it as sad. Like in that one memory with Riley on that tree y’know. It was sad. But when Riley’s parents and team came to make her feel happy she saw it as happy. So the reason sadness wants to touch it is because Riley is starting to see it as sad. But it will never be completely sad until sadness touches it.
So I guess you got it right
@Wotso Videos This is such an important discussion, especially in a time when optimism is treated as though that's the "right/best" way to behave when faced with challenging events. People who try to force themselves to suppress their feelings of grief, sadness etc. may gradually become apathetic, like when Riley's emotional world turned grey. That forced optimism becomes unhealthy instead. And over time, it can even have some damaging, even irreparable consequences.
Think of those who were reported by friends and family, some even only moments before, to seem happy and laughing with them, only to commit suicide hours/a day later. They find out too little too late that apparently, their loved ones were suffering inside the entire time while they were smiling on the outside.
Most people may not have the empathy to understand another person's emotions until the other communicates it. When Riley bottled up her feelings, it became difficult for others to figure that out when so much is left unsaid. That's why Sadness is so crucial. She's the one who reminds Riley to reach out to others so that she can be understood. And it's the same for others.
This culture of forced optimism, of suppressing bad feelings because of our inabilty to face it and express them, is what can keep people feeling isolated even in a world full of people. Understanding that sadness is not necessarily something to avoid, and in fact, embraced, is what makes us human.
ChristmasCarolyn - I completely agree. I hate bottling everything up, but I also hate showing certain emotions in front of certain people. I hate talking about certain things (everything that has to do with MY emotions, or my brother's) to certain people (my parents][mainly my dad) because of JUST THAT: everyone has been taught to bottle up his or her emotions for so long, they no longer understand what it's like to be human, half the time!!! All many of them want to do in my exp is criticize and lecture, seemingly wanting complete control, and then they wonder why they no longer have any friends, or why they can't find love, no matter how much they "put themselves out there". (Which nobody understands, is much more difficult, for those of us introverts)
I think sadness reminds of eeyore from winnie the pooh
Wait, Riley head emotion is joy, which means she is mostly happy. Riley’s mom’s head emotion sadness. So does that mean Riley’s mom has depression? And Riley’s father’s head emotion is anger. So does that mean he has anger issues? 🤔
Wow, another theory
Sadness as an emotion doesnt always mean just Sad, it can also mean, Calm, Empathic and Caring in a way.
Anger as an Empotion doesnt always mean mad, it can also mean, Strong, or Determined.
@@spaghettijuice4350 yeah you right about that
"Every happiness there's a sadness behind of it".
The role for sadness is the compassion joy figured while at the dump with bing bong while the idea by anger took over sadness is the only hope to help while helping out riley andersen she realized her life was from her home of moments of Minnesota and missed it already. when explaining to her parents they feel the same way as she is of the moments they shared the woods where they took hikes, the backyard of their home where their daughter used to play and during the winter time at spring lake where riley learned how to skate. right before her loss of the big playoff game of the Prairie dogs her team and her old colleagues including meg joy learned a valuable lesson about the role of sadness and without any harm.
Lovely comment mate. But it would be easier to read and understand if you added periods and commas.
She did you just can't see them .
😰I often find myself crying in stressful situations, but it is not usually from the actual situation but from what I did to cause stress for others.
as someone with ptsd, sometimes guilt makes my memories that used to be happy make me feel sad because they're not with me anymore. i think that's why they might have done that because riley's situation was so different, it made her other memories seem so far away and it made her feel bitter and sad they weren't with her anymore
It might be possible that the mind force is Riley, or are aspects of Riley ( possibly the brain ) reacting, and are run in a similar fashion as the emotions' headquarters, but I like your theory better. Nice work, Watso. ☺👍
Amazing Disney theory about Sadness from Inside Out, Issac!!!!!!!
Thanks Jalen!!
It is not Disney it is Pixar Theory
Fantastic video as usual
Every time we access one of our memories, it changes depending on the context in which we are recalling them. We didn't notice these changes because our memories have changed.
Riley was upset about the move, even though she was trying to hide it, but her feelings kept seeping through Sadness, compelling her to touch the memories as a way of expressing the sorrow she was suppressing,
Methinks Sadness was repressed. And that causes depression. When you’re depressed you have a tendency to even think certain joyful memories are sad.
Also Joy was a control-freak. I think that caused rebellion and anxiety.
The two of them, Joy and Sadness created a very mature empathy for Riley.
😰 to be honest I have a lot of problems, and for some reason I had memories who were really happy and enjoyable just turn sad I don't know how but they just did so I believe is something like that, I can't explain it further I don't have the correct words and I'm talking for personal experience but that's all I have to offer, I hoped it helped, amazing video, they always make me smile :3
Yagi theRabbit I know how you feel
NOSTALGIA
You missed something : in real life if you remember a very happy memory when you are sad , it will become a sad memory and you will always remember it with a bad feeling
😰
That also explains why Riley's Mother's dominant emotion is Sadness, because sadness in the right context breeds empathy and her mother is often empathetic.
Also an idea for a future video is, which of the three theories of emotion is Inside Out based on?
Loved this one.
Before watching the video I would say that sadness is the most overwhelming emotion.
Its actually simple
An old memory usually is easier to become nostalgic and melancholic (a bittersweet of sad and happy) than to become angry, disgusting or scary
Its natural to us, when we are sad or happy we think in the past
The thing is, almost all her memories were already happy, and were from Minnesota, so they become sad as SHE IS sad bacause they moved away
I just LOVE how blue is reflecting off of Isaac's glasses. It's so cool!!!
And awesome video as usual.
I was an emotional child. I couldn’t explain to my parents that I had depression and anxiety, becoming very dark and lost. I still have it as well as it started 3 years ago in a similar situation to Riley’s when we moved when I was in year 3 (I’m writing this at the end of year 6). I still don’t know what to do so please, if you know anything that can help comment. 😰😰😰
Talk to friends or yours parents or siblings
Her role was compassion what Riley was missing of her deep depression was the playoff game in Minnesota for what she missed already to admit to her parents that she felt depressed on her past life and everything she loved.
Great video as always, Issac!
YAY!!!!!
Thank you Adam!!
Wotso Videos, you're welcome!
i was wondering the same thing thanks for covering the topic
My pleasure! Happy I could make this for you!
I think this insight can also relate to the parents as well. Riley's mother seems to have sadness as her core emotion but perhaps it's not sadness she is portraying but rather empathy. And the father with anger at the head could possibly be relying more on anger's passion and drive for his job.
It was not just her mom asking her to suppress sadness, but the other emotions were trying not to let her feel sadness
😰 I go though that almost every day
This where I go for all the Theory’s to come to life (Frankenstein) (also 😰)
What I love so much about this movie is that it makes us think within ourselves-what are our own core memories and our own lead emotions. Yes-Riley needed to be sad and that’s why Sadness could change memories blue.
I just... LOVE Isaac. This is so true. Sadness can be confusing in real life. I find myself fighting off tears when I probably shouldn't. Inside Out is such a great and important movie, and I love that Isaac has gone so deep into this.
I have always wondered about this so thanks for making a video about it!!!! Keep up the great work Isaac!!
My pleasure and will do! Thank you for the continued support!
A question I have has finally been answered.
Sadness said herself "I think I'm having a breakdown". The emotions not only portray emotions but thoughts as well. Throughout this whole movie, Riley felt pressured to stay happy when in reality she was very sad. This led to a breakdown which can be quite toxic in the mind. It's not through some mind magic that sadness could alter the memories, its through anxiety and depression. 2 things that can be very temporary but also very dangerous to the mind
Sadness's function was to serve as an emotional pressure release valve and Riley had a lot to be upset about, even if she wasn't being allowed to cry. Whenever we access one of our memories, it changes based on the context under which we are recalling it. When one considers these two things, Sadness changing the memories she touched makes perfect sense.
😰 great vid your videos are really amazing you really uncover why this is happening and watching your videos calm me down
I love your videos so much I can't believe I found your videos you go over all of my thoughts while watching Disney movies I love your vids so much great work
Thank you! I'm happy you have been enjoying them and that you can tell I read your thoughts to come up with video topics! Haha just kidding!
Very interesting! I always love your theories, and this one makes lots of sense. I think that Inside-Out was a movie that let us go and explore our true selves. It was very inspiring!!
great video!!
thanks a lot Isaac
😰 great vid
Thank you Amy!
That is not a stress face
That sadness is the emotion of bonding and connection is I think a secondary trait, it's linked to loss, all sadness is related to loss. Loss is important because without loss you can not truly possess anything, you can not want and value something without the desire not to lose it. The "helping to relate" is a side effect, because you understand your own sense of loss and thus empathize with others loss.
I always viewed it as Riley growing up and dealing with adult depressions and looking back at happier times with a bittersweet nostalgia
I love you videos and the really cool Keep the good work up
Will do! Thank you for the support Kayleigh!!
*stress face*
From experience, I’ve had times when I learned something about a past event I remembered with joy...but the new information forever changed it to a sad memory.
I love your videos Isaac! Keep up the great work! 😁👍🏻💙
I don't need a movie to answer that. Sadness destroys memories. You'll be lucky if you just get the short end of melancholy.
Do a theory of how Moana’s grandma had the heart
I still cried watching your explanation
😰 I can relate a lot to Riley as I moved several times as a kid. I went through a very difficult time following the last move of my childhood. Eventually things got better and I found my joy once more, but there was a time when I was sad a lot. Now as an adult, my experiences have enabled me to be more sensitive to others who have or are going through a similar situation, better understand their needs, and determine how I might be able to help them.
Thanks for bringing a little more joy into the world with your videos Issac. Keep up the great work!
Danggg thanks I've waited for this one
Oh I'm glad you were excited for it!!
"out of the blue" Haha i get it cause shes blue lol
i think your theory on Sadness and Riley's depression is a little off
coming from someone who has been depressed for about four years since my family moved to spain (i was about 9 or 10 and am now nearly 15)
the depression wasn't a thing she needed in order express her feelings to her parents, the depression was caused by her not being able to feel two core emotions, Joy and Sadness, notice how Joy is the only positive emotion Riley currently has, Fear, Anger, Disgust being the only ones left when Joy and Sadness go missing, which means that the only things she can feel about her situation are negative, theres no positive light in her, when i moved here that was all i could feel, i couldn''t see any positive side to being so far from "home" (even though my mother and half my family are spanish we'd lived in england my mothers whole life) tbh i still can't find anything positive and greatly regret existing
Sadness got more power over memories because Riley was in a very new and uncomfortable situation that she didn't want to be in, so she was very prone to sadness as moving around a lot as a kid, or moving a very long way is often a cause of childhood trauma
so when she lost the two most powerful emotions, the others (who would get their power from the other two) couldn't do much in her life, anger without joy will make you lash out at yourself and others (as we see), disgust without joy can make you hate yourself , fear without joy will cause huge spikes in anxiety (some of which we see), after a certain point you become numb to those emotions and can only feel their affects, self hatred, aggression/self destruction, and panic attacks,
Anger comes up with the idea of going back to a place where Riley was happy (which is something i relate to, deciding that running away is the best option (another thing i relate to, though going through with it is something i have not yet done), taking her mothers credit card and getting on a bus, at which point she became completely numb to them, and if it weren't a kids movie (tw) i'd say the next idea would have been suicide
sadness gets the urge to touch memories because (i assume theres some higher power) she can sort of sense (subconsciously) that if something doesn't happen Riley will become depressed (its something you can sort of sense, like you're kind of eased into it), so she touches whatever memories she can because it will help in the long run (its most likely some sort of protective instinct as they're there to protect and help Riley)
by the time Sadness and Joy get back, the only emotion Riley can feel is sadness, after a certain point you can only feel very extreme emotions, secondary emotions won't get through, and its clear that Riley isn't naturally an Anxious person, so fear wouldn't get through unless it was very very serious, and even then, there is a point you can reach (usually when suicidal but its not a rule) where even if you do feel fear, you can't care, you're too emotionally burned out from dealing with it that you just can't
so the only thing that can help her is Sadness, she hasn't been able to properly understand or even feel her emotions about this new move, because its very obvious that Joy refuses to let sadness have any control if she can help it, and joy kept insisting that this new move was a good thing, unwittingly hurting Riley in the process
Sadness isn't touching memories because Riley needs to go through depression in order to understand how she feels and tell her parents how she feels, nobody Ever, ever, needs to feel like that, depression isn't feeling sad all the time like a lot of people think, its feeling nothing, being empty except for extreme emotions like rage, paralyzing fear, overwhelming sadness, and guilt (not all of which are extreme emotions usually but they become amplified), she's touching them because thats how Riley feels, sad.
shes upset that her parents made her move, shes sad because she lost her friends, she feels sad, but shes not allowed to feel sad because Joy is the one in control;
and Joy doesn't like Sadness, she doesn't want Sadness to have control over Rileys emotions, so when you get down to it, Riley is hugely conflicted over her feelings, she's trying to put on a brave face for her parents, and look on the bright side of things, because shes never had a reason to feel sadness like this before,, she can't talk to her parents about it because she feels guilty and ungrateful about not liking it
usually born from fear or pain, having her being to lash out a lot more, breaking things, getting into fights, arguing with her parents, and eventually, self destructing, less child friendly, but it would have been a good lesson, and a good movie
( if you couldn't tell i relate to this film an awful lot, and have an awful lot to say on it :p)
YES. Riley couldn't feel JOY, but she also couldn't feel SADNESS. She needed to feel sadness to cope with her thoughts, Depression isn't just being Sad, ITS MORE THAN THAT.
I've been stress for years by my dumb and stupid decisions I've done but when I watch one of your videos it makes me happy again.😓
Great idea for a video!
Thanks Chicken Pie! Last time I watched it I was really compelled to discuss this idea.
Omg thanks for replying Isaac! I’ve been a fan of your videos for a while so this is great!
😰 I entered into a new school in the middle of the school year in 4th grade. It was hard. I didn't know anyone.
Wow, same here. I remember the time when I would stay lonely for quite a while😧
Happy, Anger, Fear or Disgust had a role but sadness is mix with all the roles which is painful...
Sadness is more complex and easily mistaken sometimes even confusing...
The usual great vids like every single video
Do Madame Medusa’s full story
"Why is this happenning out of the blue?"
...Pun intended in that question,Isaac?Maybe..?
I did think it was pretty... "punny" but I didn't stress it too much in the recording haha
This was my biggest question after watching! Good job!
It's nostalgia. The older you get ,you look back on a lot of things and sometimes you feel bad - that is sad.
Hello and although I didn't vote for this I still LOVE IT
I'm glad you still enjoyed it! Hopefully I'll get to the topic you voted for soon!
I know this is going to be an interesting video
😰 Pressure form School, family drama, parents constantly, what I'm going to do with my future, who I am and who I wanna be, and see the people I love going through things that can't help or have no experience to help them with the issue.
God, these theory videos as they come out, keep making think to much each time.

😰😰😰
Love your videos😃👍
Because of your video, I had to re-watch Inside Out. And it's still a delightful and satisfying film to watch. I always discover something new every time I re-watch it. It still makes me laugh and still makes me cry.
Woah...that was DEEP.
😞
Your videos are awesome I love you're theories 😰
Finally! It's about time someone made this video!
