Thank you

what's next? movies are pointless?

Struggling mentally emotionally and financially after my mom passed away recently, job searching and I feel things are not going to get better

Feel like I'm waiting for tomorrow but don't want tomorrow to come around.

I’m 20 and have been depressed my entire life, I remember nothing different. All of my attempts to improve my life have failed. It legitimately only gets worse for me and I hate it. I have zero reason to live I have nothing. Don’t know how much longer I can keep saying one day it will get better just for it to always get worse

best video on the best time watched, i really needed that thank-you you for making the unclear Clear

So glad you mentioned this!

It's called escapism. I do that or my brain rots away faster.

Did you notice the inflation of political terms that have thus lost their meanings? It's a worrying trend. The word "fascist" used to mean something, but now it's just a pejorative. There are a lot more terms, but KZbin would probably auto-remove the comment.

Good games inspire me in other areas of my life. When a story or soundtrack or other combination of things in the game sticks in my head after putting the game down, it’s an inspiring experience, a reward that sticks beyond the virtual rewards.

Did this make sense or help anyone? The speaker seems like a very nice person, but I don't understand what the cure is for being in a hole. And even if something happens to get out of the hole how do you avoid the next one? I don't know any more than I did before listening.

I'm 14yo I haven't played games for 3 weeks but I started to feel bored cuz I want to play with my friends but at the same time I don't want to play video games so what should I choose?

Love your videos!

Autoimmune can be put into remission with a carnivore meal plan

Bro I never stop play video games I cant live without them Always I have negative things on my mind when come to real life

I've stop with videogames 1 year and 13 days ago! I was raised with videogames since as little kid. Now I am 26 and I used it as escapism. I mean going home after work, my mere purpose was playing videogames. No friends, no whatever. After I passed 20 I was feeling like videogames were not funny anymore, plus mostly of the videogames today are made to make you glued to the screen, surely some of the developers work with some neurologists that study how to maintain you addicted as much as you can.

Sometimes my mommy forgets to breathe, I keep telling her to go to doctor, but she won’t listen and says it’s not a big deal. last night, I had a dream that I was talking to my friends and then I was telling them about the situation with my mom. One of my friends told me that it may be the last I woke up sad I don’t think I can process the day, but my mom went to work already, so we couldn’t tell her about my dream. This video really helps. Remind my mom to do the simple exercises every day. Thank you so much.

What about the epileptic that are stuck?

So how are you defining real when you lose it all in 100 years or less depending on factors ? my answer is there is not one verses video games the only real difference is in real life you for the most part don't get to pick when its over because most of us are never done but we leave it anyhow so how is that any less imaginary than a video game its not at a basic level its the same. its all about what you want out of life. you could work 100 hour weeks invest in stock or bitcoin or start your own business in real life to make time for what you really want to do witch is play video games or you could just play video games that's it really don't you worry about your future no the reality is we could have alzheimer's are dementia when we get older and lose all that you worked for or we could end young and not make it to old age or the stock market could crumble or bitcoin could lose 80% of its value and your more or less back where you started the key is to do everything in some degree of moderation (for maximum enjoyment of life) people shaming other people for there hobbies are just losers in life if you think life is for you and for you to maximize your enjoyment of life then what there telling you is just for there benefit not yours and to that I say good luck bro but the fact is it's just best to ignore them

No marriage no career Lost most of the friend relative cousin . Living a curse life . Whatever I do I end up crying shattered . Dependent on parents in forties

Thank you for taking the time and effort to speak to people who need to hear this kind of sentiment the most. We appreciate you

Nice video. I love music. It is so magical. I love the happiness I get from hearing my favorite songs even 20 or more years later.

I have great epic memories of my lost hobby 🤷🏻‍♂️

Welcome back!

Sometimes there is no answer to the problem that's where I'm at I have never been this f***** up

If I put in I feel like I have nothing left to live for I get a helpline.. when your son dies it's not easy... when you have nobody to help you and you have one leg and nowhere to move to it's really bad. When you pour your heart out on Facebook and ask for help and they give you the advice but not help no help. I really don't want to ask for help I just wish I could go to sleep and wake up with my son. I gave up after my son died I felt there's nothing left no reason to live.. it's severe dark depression. There is nowhere to move to I'd rather die than be homeless on the streets again near Buffalo with one leg I will not survive.. Section 8 there are no places nobody cares about people anymore they care about getting their money I am one of the poorest people in the United States and if I don't find a place I will lose my section 8 and be living on the street and I've been looking since February I've even been told I don't make enough money to be on Section 8 and get help from North Spruce Apartments Batavia Apartments Batavia where I live and they run everything these scumbag landlords the only place you can live is horrific not livable like where I am feces in the basement and it's section 8 approved and the immigration destroyed everything for the people who need a place that are United States citizens their second best now we can just go die while they help them they don't help homeless veterans they don't help homeless people they make it illegal.. I don't know how this video can help me maybe anything could help I have substandard workers at Independent Living they don't know anything they're not helping me while I go under they don't care they get paid to do nothing if I asked my Facebook friends for help it's called the senior center not I will help you that's where I'm at I don't care about anything anymore I don't want to clean I don't want to take a bath all I want to do is go to bed and wake up with my dead son that's it the end can't kill myself and I go to hell I wish God would take me so I don't have to suffer like this anymore anybody else ever feel like that it's the end there's no answer there's no way out there's nothing no family no friends no help just a living house suffering in pain everyday can't even get a f****** ride to the store there's nothing here to help me universe

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with all of us. I just wanted to let you know that you were my inspiration for starting my KZbin channel back in 2021. I remember watching your video on getting out of a mental hole at that time; it had stirred within me a desire to embark upon my own journey of spiritual growth. My KZbin channel would not exist if it hadn’t been for you. 🙏🌼✨

Jeez. Welcome back!

Insightful. You really worded this well

I play video games in moderation. I still exercise every day. I still do other things besides gaming.

Amorality is freedom

Just discovered your channel through a random recommendation and I wanted to tell you that your videos are fantastic. Hope you're doing well.

I’m 30 years old and used to play video games in order to ease my health issues and escape from my reality- family fights and calling me names. Now i’ve realised that what i did was only run away from my problems, not facing them, but i have no idea what to do with my life, no purpose no goals like am an empty shell. I don’t wish it upon anyone this feeling

Probably because every time I step out of my “hole” I get kicked in the teeth and reminded that nobody in the world wants me around.

I’m 20 year old male In June 2024 i realise that i dont have autonomy in my life that i can’t that decisions myself as an adult Because my life was heavily controlled by my elder sister Which led to me falling in depression and suicidal tendencies

People like to have agency in their job. Modern technological society is a machine that specializes people into specific tasks, which have the effect of alienating people from the value and result of that work. Most of us are far removed from the result chain and see the effect of our action first hand. Whether intentional or not, this is why people feel their job is meaningless because of the sheer complexity of technological society. Most jobs nowadays is so disconnected from what we evolved for, we are too far removed from nature, office jobs don't require us to exercise, factory job maybe have a little bit of physical in it but it so far removed from the value chain that the worker feel alienated from their result. The system simply grew too big too care about the individual, it grinds down the individual to their most basic function of being a cog inside a machine, purely to provide economic function.

I've wasted my life playing video games, I'm now 30 yo and I have nothing, I've stopped playing video games, but its too late, I don't know if there's any hope for me I feel like im too old to study now or to start a career i dont know what to do, everything is black

Something I've noticed is in need the games to have an end. All these ever changing living worlds with endless grinds for gear. Or the "find match" after "find match" buttons are what kills me

I now think that the best approach is counting life in days, because years are too big and we tend to take time for granted somehow by counting that way. From there, months and weeks are more manageable but days are so even more. We sleep and wake up every day, so you can see every day as a rebirth of sorts, and take every day as an opportunity to have a good time. By focusing on today you take more consciousness of the hours that you have for each day to do your tasks and also enjoy.

I started doing this this month of August 2024 and I searched on KZbin to see if I was the only weirdo LOL. I'm glad I'm not

Can you show us a tour of your home? Looks interesting..

Sometimes the dark hole is safe. I just can’t connect to anyone and nobody cares about me anymore. Reality is not kind to many people. Not sure if it’s worth living anymore.😢

There is no place worth being if you’re unlovable. No experience worth having if you’re always alone. If you’re cut off from love, there is no hope.

i prefer to have fun in virtual world than to bore myself in the real world.

Thanks for sharing

Excellent point, and the world is set up this way. A small number of people are allowed to tell the rest of us, what is and what is not.

This didnt help at all

I've achieved some personal life goals and during that time i had taken a long break from gaming. Recently i tried to game as a reward and 15 minutes into it i get extremely bored and irritated . No matter what game i used to love playing in the past, e.g Red dead, Last of us etc It's like my brain realizes now that those game rewards are bs. It's like eating shit your entire life (rewards from gaming)and you finally taste a 5 star meal(rewards from real life) for the first time and you don't want to go back. This is just from my own personal experience.

I am a Railfanner and my story with being stuck in a hole is not being able to drive. I hoped to have my drivers license during my second year of college or after I graduated from college but it did not go as planned I get very depressed about it on a daily basis. 😢😭😓💔❤️‍🩹
