“Don’t cry” techlead getting soft

[@yuriy5376]

A true empath

[@amruthraj2962]

Cry and get soft

[@lordashram82]

Do not worry guy does not matter if you cry or not the truth is at the end you will die. Does not matter if you are soft or strong. 😂😂😂Does not matter if u have brain and use it or not. Does not matter how you were fast, good, bad, smart, intelligent, not intelligent, soft, strong, weak. End is same for everyone. Live life the way that makes you happy but do not try to force anything on others. This is in the end your life. All those fights will not change this fact. Have a good life from bottom of my heart but at the know that it all does not matter because YOU WIIL DIE.

[@monikafaustyna]

The worst is when you no longer feel the need to get up 😔

[@jokerpilled2535]

You’ll get tired of being tired eventually. It took me years to recover from demotivation.

[@jora5483]

I live in a country with a ridiculous amount of inflation. I have been feeling that for past few years.

[@olinafan4459]

that's why I try to increase blood flow daily. If I have good bloodflow... I have no issue getting it up everyday. TRUST ME

[@blackcat138]

You'll get over it eventually, just go through it.

[@MargaritaMagdalena]

That's what I'm going through right now. All I do is work my minimum wage job, sleep, watch a lot of KZbin, and some reading. On my days off I often get up in late afternoon, because I have no reason to get up earlier.

[@samakolBanbol]

Man, I was honestly waiting to hear this... Worse than failure is dwelling on it and not trying to rebuild yourself!!!

[@MargaritaMagdalena]

I've spent 2/3ds of my life trying to rebuild it and the only result was failure and disappointment, so I finally gave up.

[@matasmatas7030]

@@MargaritaMagdalena Can relate to this. Build a business and then fail in a couple of days after years of "hustling". Tried to rebuild and failed. Just more stress. "Never give up" is the worst thing in "nowadays" society. In life everything is luck. You can't just do like other successful people. I gave up and now just resting and not expecting anything from life. Feeling much better. I regret that I "Hustle" too hard through life and because of my hustle work, my wife left me and I have no children. Some are just not meant to be someone. Social media gives a false hope that you can be someone. If you are lucky you will be successful without trying hard.

[@MargaritaMagdalena]

@@matasmatas7030 Same! I've found great relief in giving up.

[@ImperialArmour]

The problem about taking too much time to recover is that it can quickly become inertia and you never get out of it. One of the ways out of this daze is to start making small wins, and then you'll find the reward in being productive again and life should be normal.

[@_mishi]

These types of videos are the reason I keep coming back to techlead. I feel like the advice he gives is valuable and down to earth. I sometimes even rewatch older videos where he gives advice. On an off chance you're reading this techlead, thanks. Your videos help me a lot, wish you all the best.

There is someone who can. He is looking at me in a mirror

It doesn't matter what life does to you. What matters is what you're going to do with what life has made of you.

[@CBUCK1994]

the worst failures in life are the ones that happen when you are a kid when you cant do much to change your life coming from a broken home

[@vali4034]

TRUTH. That’s totally tragic & makes you feel so helpless at such a young age.

[@nique6382]

I come from a broken home too, but I'm also going to add that there is an expiration date on blaming your broken home for your problems. Youre not a kid now, you can do what you couldn't then, so go to therapy, heal and move on when you're ready.

[@vali4034]

@@nique6382 well, sort of. A tea cup that is broken can be swept up & glued back together & it may still resemble a tea cup but it may not function as one. Broken homes do lasting irreparable damage to children - they don’t know what they don’t know. Of course assigning blame is an immature & disempowered approach but once you get past that you simply have to accept the damage. Like someone in a car crash has to get over blaming but still has to accept they’re crippled.

[@nique6382]

@vali4034 true, i meant more in not taking responsibility for a person's life instead of just giving up on everything and blaming their parents - who also probably dod the best they could

[@vali4034]

@@nique6382 yes - you’re right about that. I’m 53 now & can see my parents as people with personalities & beliefs that they couldn’t overcome at the young age they formed the family. I also see how my formation in that environment made me who I am today and I’ve got trauma & fear of my own that I can’t quite overcome, either. So, through the pain, it’s very easy to forgive them & love them & simply accept that I turned out like a messed-up pancake. 🩷 You are very sweet & sensible - thanks for chatting about deep healing stuff! Peace be with you!

[@angthengyang1069]

Like you mentioned, failing is all too common. Unless you lose your life as a result of failing, you can still get on with your life, like the rest of the world, and the generations that have came through before us. If you happen to be successful, good for you, but you must realize that only a very small portion of the people is successful, and success is subjective, is being happy considered success? or hitting a certain amount of wealth, or be remembered for years to come, or doing something that advance the world? Don't be too hard on yourself, if you need a break, take it, but do come out from the break, and try to do whatever you want again, don't give up on life or yourself.

[@lucassobral7358]

I'm completely alone. Working a physically demanding job 14 hours a day. I only work and sleep, barely take care of myself and my surroundings. This will be my life for the next 2 years in order to pay debt. Honestly, i'm thinking of giving up. I don't see what's in the other side of this, i'm tired.

[@Susana-yg6hk]

Good luck , life gets better but don’t kill yourself in the process sometimes is better to slow down

[@shakermak3r]

stay strong buddy, there's always something to live for

[@Ssookawai]

Then pay that debt in 3 years or 4 years and slow down, give yourself some vacation or go to a meditation retreat (vipassana kind, silent, modest and you don't have to pay money, a donation will do, even later when you'll be alright). Include as soon as you can some social activity (dancing or reading with a group or smth) and some yoga/streching classes (your job is already demanding, it helps relax a bit while staying in shape). "Courage", don't give up, two years will pass quickly and if you slow down with your debt, 3 years or 4 will pass as quickly.

[@sanmarcoexplorer2726]

I'm sure you can get through that.Keep going.

You can’t just forget in-denials and ignore traumatic events as if they never happened it’s against the logical wirings in the substrates of neuro-circuitries we need to evaluate learn skill sets to arm and cope (esp if such events will happen again even frequently) and be prepared but be cool not to be paranoid and move on …

[@robinabernathy2829]

In gambling this is what's called a "maximum boldness strategy". You take the biggest shot you're willing to take in one go so that way if you win you win in the short term, but if you fail you fail fast so you can recover quicker.

[@tahahichri]

Thank you for sharing Patrick! Bad things will happen to everyone. It is impossible to control that, but at least one can develop their resiliency and learn to recover from them.

[@Southeastasiantraveler]

great video - resetting ourselves after some bad event or trauma is an essential skill - the comment about not taking yourself too seriously is very important !

[@lqla4837]

I dream of the day where we can erase memories like in Men In Black... I would save up, move away, and wipe ALOT of memories. Overthinking reality is what leads to me thinking like a failure. And being haunted by memories makes me feel like it'll never end.

[@Ni7ram]

you cant wipe memories for now, but you can try to control the overthinking! theres a lot of methods, i would recommend The Power of Now

[@javier.alvarez764]

All memories pass bro. I used to overthink a lot, now its just empty noise.

[@vali4034]

What you can do is cut the cords that connect you to the memories. The cords are connected in the area of your belly button. Next time the memories pop up, imagine you are holding a knife & cut the cords in gesture. Tell the memories “thank you for serving me once but you no longer serve my greatest good”. You may have to do this a few times but it really does work. Praying for you for freedom to start anew. 🕊️

This video was so timely in my life. Thanks for the release.

[@anobeus4814]

found myself when I was younger to love to feel pitiful and give power to this feeling because it's addicting and somewhat pleasant, it gives meaning, drama, importance, but it takes too much time, it swallow you in and then you take a hit to selfesteem. Had depression for 5-7 years and don't know now for sure If I needed so much time to recover or I just enjoyed it.

[@meowingduck]

Yea, same with melancoly and similar feelings, for other personal reasons I basically got used to "cry in my dark corner" mentally, to the point where I would get goosebumps, just as if I listened to the biggest musical masterpiece when I would fantasize about dark stuff. It does, in a weird way, become a safespace of some short. Thankfully as I got older (am just about to be 23, sounds like im like 45) I learned how to manage my emotions and what life throws at me a bit better, and I managed to be more resilient agaisnt sadness and whatnot, while still appreciating beauty and being a dreamer still.

[@the_milton_experience_pod]

This advice is all fine and dandy if your failures came exclusively from external events outside your control AND you are someone with perfect executive function, fast knowledge acquisition *and* a streak of successes ("reference experiences") to build on. Things become much darker if your (serial) failures are a result of intrinsic weaknesses in your mental and physical health. Many times you'll want to 'pick up yourself by your bootstraps' and give it another try, only to run into mental, physical AND social roadblocks in everything you try to do. While the advice was well meant, even if presented in Techlead's trademark 'tough love' style, some of the examples were completely inane. I mean seriously, Elon Musk is a good example of someone who 'overcomes failure and does whatever he wants?. Well *DUH* he is a freaking decabillionaire, of course he can do *whatever he wants*. How is this relatable to a 'normal person' viewing this video?

Men nowadays don’t have the luxury of being emotional. And I think we never actually did in the past either, I think the problem might be that men acting out emotionally and being depressed has become too normalized. I don’t mean that in a way to belittle anyone who is. Ive been in the same boat much of my life. What changed for me, is the realization that not only does nobody care about my feelings, men face extremely harsh penalties in life for it, in every single aspect of life.

At the end of the day, women/society will always hold men accountable to fix their own problems. The Zeitgeist says „be more emotional, talk about your problems“ but really nobody wants to hear that from a man. Become stoic.
