Oh yeah, nothing like having an existential crisis over a less than 2 minute video on KZbin. Thanks.

this channel is so underrated

It does bother me sometimes. You are, to some person or even yourself, just the things you do and your habits. For example, If I met a friend who I used to play chess with, he would only ask me about my progress in chess or something related to the hobbies and habits he knows I have. If you take away the habits, likes and dislikes, you will not exist.

I think this is really important for people who struggle with self-worth to hear. The people you interact with on a daily basis shape your self-image and can easily create a negative one if they don't complement your outlook. A shift in social environment can make you feel like a different person.

Even if I don’t exist, that’s ok, all that I wanna do is be alright with myself one day.

There's a theory in sociology called the 'goffman's dramaturgy' which basically states the idea that life is like a never-ending play in which people are actors playing out some role on the stage of life and how our roles vary from the people we are surrounded by.

When existential crisis hits you harder

[@VarshaManoj]

This was interesting and yea.. I feel the same too. My school friends know a version of me that was my identity based on everything and everyone that influenced me back then. College friends know a different version me. If a friend from school and a friend from college meet each other and talk about me it sounds like they are talking about 2 different people.

A few days ago, one night, I woke up and had deep thought about our existence. At first I though It's fascinating how we are souls embodied in meat and bones, and how we can feel, see, ear... and that we and everything around us are made of billions of small small particles animated by energy, and somehow linked to the universe. Then this led me to think about the universe itself, the infinity and the beauty of it, we don't know how it was created, when, why... And when you look at it like that, this makes us realize how small we are on this little, yet big for us humans, planet called Earth in the middle of nowhere, and that everything happening here is so petty and ridiculous: greed, hate, manipulating, wars, money... Just why??? All this for what??? But one rather terrifying thought came in my mind: what if the universe just didn't exist? What if nothing existed at all?? Like absolutely nothing??? What's the purpose of the universe??? We'll never know...

Lazy Owl has a lot of potential. I can see this channel blowing up. Just glad I’m here to witness that

[@rigbye4554]

Your art, animation, and self knowledge is godly.

[@holleey]

yup.

My favorite idea in relation to this concept is that people don't have a singular identity. Other people's perception of any individual is based on the context that they've experience with that person. The random lady you walked past in the grocery store sees you as an insignificant side-character in her own story, while each member of your circle of close friends see you as part of the supporting cast in their own stories. Beyond that, your own perception of yourself isn't even entirely accurate when you account for bias towards yourself, and experiences you've had and forgotten about.

[@bananaslug823]

This is entirely accurate. Yesterday I was having a particularly intense wave of depersonalization.
