Guess I’m just trying to say it’s never too late to find out / decide who you are- and if you don’t like yourself now, the good news is that change is painful and if you’re going through something painful/uncomfortable you’re probably in the process of changing / going through something that will make you change.

i was talking about this with my therapist last week. lately i feel like i'm not myself because i have a lot of walls up. i'm very private about the kind of things i enjoy. like my music taste, my taste in films, even though it feels really cathartic to meet people who like the same things as me, i keep it to myself most of the time. but i feel like i do have a tendency to let my interests shape my ENTIRE personality, like other things invent me rather than i invent myself, you know? but i don't really know where to start to build my own personality lol. BIG QUESTIONS! it feels nice to not feel alone though. i've been following you since your ol' vlog days (lol) and even though i'm kind of a 'silent' viewer, it feels really comforting that someone i've been following a long time feels the same kinda way as me. thank u for everything x

[@cloudcity9672]

I relate to this so much, especially about keeping my interests private. And sometimes i think if I'm not good enough at a hobby of mine, I let it define who I am which is really bad especially since these are the things that are supposed to bring me joy, I think these videos are helping me reflect how I see myself haha

[@myamygdala7]

freya f-e “other things invent me rather than I invent myself” whew I felt that so much. I’ve never heard it worded like that and I really really related. But sometimes I also wonder, isn’t that what happens with everyone? We’re all shaped by our encounters with other people and our different environments and experiences in life, so in many ways I feel like we’re all amalgamations of those different things. Sometimes I feel like what we’d call our “personality” is consisted by the elements that constitute our “self” down to its very core, and that is shaped and expanded upon through all the things we experience throughout our lives, like music we listen to, movies we watch that stay with us, other people in our lives... those things do influence us a lot of the time and some of them shape our personality but that doesn’t mean it’s not “our own” personality. After all, our unique personality is what determines which experiences will influence us, and which will not play a significant part our story. Sorry for the long text. Much love 🤍

[@SamPhoenixKnight]

I don't know if it's really possible to completely invent yourself. It sounds like a lot of pressure though. Maybe there's no amount of self-reflection or soul searching that can accurately show us the people we'll want to be tomorrow. Maybe the best we can hope to do is to honor the people we feel like today. Or maybe we are all destined to be something specific and if we don't find that thing, we'll die unfulfilled.

re: a deteriorating sense of self - today I had the thought that I've been approaching the question of "who am I?" from the wrong direction.

I've got no clue how to answer that. (does anybody?) nor do I feel like I've got anything to say to anyone. so I guess we're in this together. like, do I just chase the things I enjoy and hope that leads somewhere? do I try to force it? anyway I liked your story about getting mugged. it was an awful thing but you certainly have a knack for storytelling. good luck pal

the intensely liking things for a period of time really reminds me of special interests, they're interests autistic people (like myself) get and can get super excited over & can go on about for hours, sometimes it's one interest forever but for me i have different things at different times. they can heavily define periods in my life, like in my memory some things are during the hunger games era and others are during the snail era. (thought u might find this interesting (: )

[@elitsagospodinova7241]

I can relate to this to some extent, although I am not autistic. I can timeline my life using all my interests and obsessions. I could be so distracting, honestly. I have this problem: Often I have to work on a particular project, as I study at university, and I simply cannot focus on my task, because I am thinking about my current interest, practically daydreaming and thinking about how my life could change if I made that area or hobby my main thing. The good thing is that I still am very interested in my field of study and I try to treat it as a constant obsession, taking different branches of it as a "current topic". I study Architecture so I sometimes get obsessed with Photoshop or Illustrator and spend tons of time on KZbin learning some tricks, or I would watch history of architecture documentaries, or just sketch some stuff, or make my own research about different materials or even architects. It gets really hard however, when I watch all seasons of Masterchef or other cooking shows and then cook for every meal of the day or read about Ancient Egypt or decide to watch all films in which Tilda Swinton has participated, or watch Video Analysis on paintings and artists, films, and all sorts of stuff which has nothing to do with architecture. I have been trying to pick up a new language for a few years now unsuccessfully, for this same reason. I just never continue. Something else comes and occupies my mind. I really have to work hard to bring myself back to architecture sometimes, because in life you have to be persistent about your "thing" in order to become good in it and build a name for yourself. It brings me so much anxiety. I often think that nothing would come out of me, when I try to speak to my mother about my interests, she says that I am filling my head with nonesense. I can personally justify this occurence with my form of education (at school we used to learn all subjects, from Literature and Philosophy, to Advanced Mathematics, Programming and Chemistry) and the Internet which is constantly feeding us with endless quantities of information. I find it really overwhelming...

I started therapy going through that same crisis and to be perfectly honest i don't think the question of who you will resolve, ever, unless you're willing to limit yourself through a basic, common to most description, which ends up erasing your edges even more. At some point I started working on my insecurities, became more self assured and realised there was no point in that question and i didn't really need the answer either. Accepting that gave me more sense of self than any answer could.

to me you are bertie, guy who made this beautiful video, and a lot of other beautiful videos and films, and continues to make videos such as these this is something i am also struggling with. but i am thinking that maybe we are whatever we decide to identify with. and though that may be constantly changing, find comfort in the fact that we are able to choose. so if i decide to identify with my art, then that is what will give me my sense of self worth and yes

i don't know how i came across to this or why it was recommended for me but honestly im glad. i understand you. today i said this exact sentence to myself "who am i?" or "what kind of a person others percieve me as?"

[@megan1169]

There is no "true self" so trying to define who you are is ultimately pointless lmao. Accepting this helps I think. Great video (:

Megan agreed, people think you “find” yourself but really you create yourself.

I am so glad this came up on my recommended. I don't really know what I just watched but even I was able to recognise that was top quality filmography, whatever that means.

well that was stupid and boring- oh wait that was the point In all seriousness though, this is actually my favourite type of content. It's like a literal look into your mind. Everything flows really well and yet there's this sense of chaos keeping it real and keeping you on edge. And the checkerboarding of stories keeps you wondering. Some people are really good at making dense one-off "power-quotes". You definitely have some in there, but the real beauty in this video is that it actually says a lot more as a whole than any sentence does on its own. You need the entire video to get the point. That's art. That's skill. And don't even get me started on the backdrops you choose. Holy hell. And the fact that you kept the awkward noticing of a person in and added a sudden frame explaining what's going on? While I'm sure it was embarrassing when it happened, it's actually a really lucky break with this video. I can see why you kept it in. This is the first time seeing one of your videos and you got me hooked. Honestly it kinda feels like I'm listening to myself talk here, so that's kinda neat.

Thank you, Bertie. Always a good day when you upload! 😊

[@emmacatherine4130]

I don't think I've ever seen a video like this, which is a very cool notion.

[@annajed]

I love you so much and this is the very first video I see of you

[@uhoh2307]

I have no clue why this was in my recommended. But, man, I'm glad it was. So visually satisfying.

[@luisacampos3893]

every single shot and line of this was perfect

[@silvy-limatthews1082]

I loved the Lego Suicide stopmotion film :). I dont know how but you made me feel for him like I would for a normal person.

[@yueqing666]
