I can't be the only teenager who feels this way

5:27 Oh how accurate this part is. Like they be talking to people while I just sit scribbling on a paper and ripping it to pieces until it's so small because it's so satisfying and I just look like I made no progress since i set a goal for myself to be more social to people after i transferred schools.And also, the insecurity is wild.While watching the video, I have so many things to say, so many things to comment. But I'm lost for words on what to say. All I can stay now is that you like open my mind and stuff and kinda like organize it. I mean it loll. You're a great person and you deserve a clear path on life.

Man, thanks for making this video. I lowkey feel lost in life (it is a journey with multiple paths, so it's fine for now?) and your video helped me in clarifying why I should push myself more (from not being a financial burden to my parents and to live up to one's potential). Wish you the best mate! Keep at it!

We were on the same boat years ago, unfortunately I slipped into the "after a year of doing nothing" scenario (s*** I slipped into the 5 year after scenario, I'm 23 now) and I can confirm that it is a painful chore to get out of, in fact I still haven't managed to do so. I want to do things, but I feel blocked by some illusionary wall in my mind, and I feel bad about not going over that wall afterwards. I never knew what I wanted to do with my life, never liked something enough to convince myself to actually build a career around it. (I kind of like 3d modeling and animation and art in general, but I always felt like "why should I start when there's so many talented people already doing it"). It's kind of weird that even though I'm in this "situation", people still ask me for help with everything, hell, they even ask for relationship advice, for a guy (me) who's never dated in his life. (I also don't have a "core" group of friends, **** I don't have a best friend). I'm just glad that you were quicker than me to understand what avoiding problems does in the long run, and that you were able to avoid this abyss of negative feelings, emptiness, and the feeling of silence that it causes. Unfortunately my mental health is somehow irreparable on my own and I sought help from professionals, unfortunately not only I couldn't find a psychiatrist in my area, even just waiting for the chance to diagnose my mental health problems will take at least 6 months and it will make me travel many kilometers (I'm Italian, we use kilometers). I know this comment is a rant from a messed up guy, but I suggest you use my "current state" as a cautionary tale on WHY you should work and take care of yourself (I wouldn't wish this fate on anyone). I wish everyone reading my comment the best that life has to offer, Bye and take care. -An Italian with problems

I'm gonna be honest, I just put your video on loop mode and used it as background noise Every so often I'd listen to what you were saying, but your voice is just very calming.

16:53 “Even if it’s overwhelming, even if it’s scary, if I’m trying sh*t at least, then… I think I’ll be ok.” Bro, you are an inspiration for me. Take care of yourself, and keep being awesome 🙏

This means a lot dude thank you

Ever thought about becoming a math teacher? You could start off by offering tutoring during your gap year earning some extra money while helping others out and getting a feeling for the job. Your current math teacher can likely give some guidance or share his experience surrounding this.

For all the things you feel like don't doing: Set a timer and tell yourself you are going to do it for just a small amount of time, you can manage 5 min. When the time is up you will have entered the working phase and starting the task is now not as hard since you have already started. No matter how strong the urge not to do something is you can always manage 5 min. This will hopefully make it easier to do thing when you don't feel like it or games seems more enticing atm. Making a daily plan and allocating time toward drawing might help. Making it a habit can help it stick. I am for example taking a walk each morning after breakfast to get sunlight and the blood flowing. It took a little effort the first few days but now I feel like "Oh this is my routine I can't skip this part it is what I do". The goal is to make the activity you want to do a part of your daily routine similar to how you brush your teeth every day. You know when and where you do your teeth ritual everyday and you likely never thought about changing it as it is a natural part of your life. Side note on games: Games can be addictive without you having to be prone to addiction, they are way more stimulating than something like drawing so be careful here. If you play too much there is a risk you'll lose interest in other less dopamine stimulating activities that you still enjoy and turn to gaming as it will be easier to stimulate you/ "more fun". Again here habits help I am trying to read more books and taking time out of my day for this activity helps (forcing me to do it by putting it on my "plan for the day list"). I am a big advocator for planning your days.

3:21 that guilt is good, that guilt is your mind reminding you to get back on your purpose and the best way to do that is design a work process thats as convenient as possible break things down into smaller parts, switch between them when your stuck somewhere, walking away from everything when you're tired is an essential part of this convenient work process

[@olivebuild]

all im js gnna say is dont get hooked in games. Take those cold showers AND STOP SCROLLING!! this is for me too

[@frillren]

simple yet so hard 😔

[@JeetKunDrawYT]

I divide my efforts into KZbin and manga games are literally how I chill when it becomes a lot don't distract yourself with games, de-stress yourself with them and be honest with yourself too about whether your stress levels are up or not😂 before adapting to my current work process, every little thing made me stressed enough to play a game😂

[@LuisFelipe-kb6kt]

Hey bro, as I was watching your video, I was pretty shocked by how similar our sittuations are, even to the minute details (and I REALLY mean it). Idk if you have some kind of community discord or whatever, but I feel it would be nice if we could hang out, just to pump up one another, following each others journey, things like that lol.

[@frillren]

I think this might be my sign to make one haha

[@kingvampcam]

@@frillren I also related to this a lot so lmk if u make one🙏

I got banned from one for possessing too much "internet-culture-energy", as in, being all rambly and funny in unacceptable ways, only acceptable by a broader audience laughing at its absurdity with one or two actually getting my joke(ok actually no, I think anyone would find it funny in particular circles like the ones I'm from, just not this one cause they're trying to be kid friendly and safe for work I think - which I really couldn't grasp the full extent of what that meant which is why I kept being the way I was despite being warned & outright banned... even now...)... and the absurdity of the scenario I was in, that being, on a discord that looks and feels like somewhere that'd be accepting of my style of humour, yet the admins ban you for even slightly being edgy., meanwhile kids on it get treated more fairly for mishaps... Bloody woke-hell that doesn't get internet-culture and the hiccups that cause misunderstandings I tell ya! Meanwhile I keep trying to prevent misunderstandings like its a full time job, and they, on that discord server, still didn't understand!... Probs cause I assumed a bunch of stuff of them that wasn't true?... Long story short; That server I got banned from, Riifu's Sheep Cafe, had people with particular boundaries, boundaries which I crossed inadvertently numerous times, and which lead me to being banned cause I shared one too many jokes reminiscent of the old internet where people actually got behind ironic humour. "You're still doing it, therefore you should be treated like someone who unironically did it" depends on what's being done ngl, and ?OCD? no, loneliness, desperation & maybe ?greed? for attention, has an awful way of making you do it anyways, just for the sake of getting a simple reaction to your presence - regardless of the rules on said server.

[@land3021]

I'm with ya on this.

You are cosuming too much without producing, even when you interact witch friends on games you are consuming because most of the time (at least for me) you talk about the game or something related to it, IRL you have to build an argument by your self. Try to get bored, like if you feel bored and you want to play videogames or watch yt or in general consuming stuff then restrain yor self from doing that, try to create, produce; what to produce? Anything, even just thoughts, that's a first step. You can also spend time just using your brain intensively, like maybe learning another language, do something that makes your brain tired. Throw yourself in whatever you fell like, don't get ready or anything like that, for example if you want to get good at basket don't even look at the rules, that is sure a part of the sport but you can learn it later, first of all you have to "live" the thing you wanna do, just buy a basket ball and doodle, if you wanna get good at shots then train to do only shots, sure the game it's not only shots but who cares, do what makes the thing fun to you. Hope you'll get happier♥
