Impostor Syndrome & Clinging Parents: Q&A #5!

[@chiquitapaulita]

"sometimes I just don't know" would be a perfect catch phrase!

[@thelonelydirector]

As usual. Great stuff :)

[@learnhowtoadult]

+thelonelydirector Thanks, buddy! :D - Mike

[@CaitlinHofmeister1]

+thelonelydirector What Nick said!

[@CasianaAleja]

Video suggestion! Can you guys discuss the most adulty way to proceed should you ever get into a car accident? I know that some kind of swapping of insurance information needs to happen with all involved parties. Lord forbid I'm ever in such a situation, I would probably be freaking out too much to know exactly what I need to do next. Thanks, DFTBA!

[@dinaatjuh]

+Chelsea Caceres I also have a suggestion to make on a video on considerations / preparations if you want to get a pet. I can not find anything on this channel yet about that.

[@INAVACL]

Chelsea Caceres my uncle called the police the first time he crashed (w me there) so they sorted it out

[@pokechatter]

"I accidentally deleted it" seems like kind of depressing catch phrase

[@sheylamontoni9619]

Hey, guys! Awesome video as always! I don't really have a question right now, but I'd like to congratulate you both for the results in the Nerdfighteria Census! I was very excited to see that many other members of the community are enjoying your amazing content just as much as I am! Hope you are all having a nice day! :D

[@AhsanteB]

Totally feel the first job faking it, trying to convince myself that I'm actually adulting

[@sciencenerd8879]

You two are awesome. Thank you for the advice.

[@ARTiculations]

Lol I moved out of my parents house over 7 years ago and they still often think of me as a baby. My mom calls me all the time just asking me if I'm eating my vegetables. But I've learned to just nod and go along with those moments - and learned to cherish and appreciate the few moments they do think of me as an adult. Like sending a family friends to me when they needed job seeking advice, or being very supportive of me wanting to travel to far places on my own. That's when I discovered - they do know I'm an adult - they just only realize it sometimes, and that's okay :)

[@cellogirl0096]

Great advice in this video, as usual!

[@mini_beethoven]

My counselor recommended this channel for me since I'm getting married soon. It really helps with everything! Thank you guys!

[@GKForwhatisworth]

I love this channel and Mike's eyebrows movements

[@learnhowtoadult]

+GKForwhatisworth Hahaha, oh man, WHY DOES EVERYONE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT MY EYEBROWS?! XD - Mike

[@GKForwhatisworth]

It's not a bad thing, they are mesmerising XD

[@lunagoodbooks]

So is the catchphrase now "Sometimes I just don't know"? I mean I'm not a catchphrase expert or anything, but I think its got potential :D

[@chiquitapaulita]

3:00 complete and utter denial, works for me...

[@SergeiTheAnarch]

On the topic of dealing with the inevitability of your death: DO NOT IGNORE IT LIKE THEY SUGGEST. Face it down, come to terms with what it means to be a mortal human being with a finite amount of life, and determine within yourself to use that time to the best of your ability for whatever goals you think the noblest/ Drowning out your fears works until there is no more proverbial water with which to douse them; you must stamp out the flames of fear while they are small.

[@IdesireCake]

I just love you guys

[@tessaraeriley]

Do you have any tips for grocery shopping (i.e. avoiding buying things you don't need, staying healthy, getting variety, etc.)?

[@Simonpacman91]

I thought that the catchphrase was 'wrap that baby in a blanket and smack it on the bottom'

[@learnhowtoadult]

+Simon I'm receiving some resistance from my partner on that one. Will continue my attempts at persuasion. I'm not above purchasing candy and/or Sherlock DVDs to make this happen.... - Mike

[@mustardsfire22]

+How to Adult DO ITTTTTT!!!!!!

[@mattsains]

I'm moving to a new city at the end of the year. How do I choose a place to stay without being there?

[@MichailShaposhnikov]

"Hill Valley Hoverboard Champion" I demand a backstory. XD

[@anneglass8737]

+Michail Shaposhnikov (MishaShapo) It's a limited edition shirt from Good Mythical Morning! You can find it at store.dftba.com in the gmm section :)

[@anneglass8737]

+Anne Glass Excuse me, it's called the Rhett and Link section actually under the 'creators' tab. Apologies. :D

[@MichailShaposhnikov]

Rhett and Link"! Haha, cool, ai didnt knoe that. Thanks :)

[@learnhowtoadult]

Yes indeed, it's an R&L product that my wife and I designed 7 years ago! :D Link has worn it since 2008 and we wanted to rerelease it since the actual date is coming up next month. So glad y'all like it! - Mike

[@hattrickk15]

I've always been pretty quick learner and tend to pick up the basics of most things pretty quickly with little effort, however I also reach a plateau where I don't just "get it" anymore and require effort to keep learning and I usually don't put in the effort and just stay at that plateau. Do you have any advice on how to push through this?

[@katefranta]

Q for you to A: how do you tailor your schooling to help you land a job in the future? (Mostly referring to postgrad school)

[@SplitSniper7]

The catchphrase!!! THE CATCHPHRASE!!!!!!

[@chiquitapaulita]

(third comment, because I'm efficient that way) Could you maybe do a video/give some tips about taking care of others? I am currently in a situation in which I often have to take care of someone else, because of sickness. I feel like it's the most grown up-y thing I've had to do. I've done it before. But even though it seems to be going ok, I keep thinking there must be ways I can do better.

[@Lady1216]

Ah, I feel so at home watching these vids.

[@iron4us]

This video = True = Real

[@TheDraconifors]

And I'm just over here watching my friends become "real adults" while I enter into my 5th (and definitely not last) year of college...

[@sheylamontoni9619]

+TheDraconifors Nah, everyone have their own time to do stuff. I'm sure that after completing 4 years in college you are as much of an adult as any of them. I just hope you're enjoying your classes and other experiences that come with college. Really, that's what counts!! Hope you're having a great day! DFTBA!

[@sammycampione9388]

Ya'll should do a "how to search for colleges" video.

[@MrZAP17]

... Are you certain I can't control my parents? What if I implanted some sort of receiver into their brain that made them do stuff when I input stuff into a control thing?

[@openmoose]

Q) Is it okay if I never figure out my vocation/calling?

[@lordcoyote2000]

Hi Emma and Mike!

[@JeanniFloyd]

I actually have a video about faking confidence! You start off faking it and the next thing you know, you really feel it. I'm not gonna link it so the comment doesn't get flagged as spam BUT it's my most recent video as of right now!

[@MyLifeIsAnRPG]

What do you do when you get laid off from a job, and the world seems too big to start looking for another one?

[@INAVACL]

MyLifeIsAnRPG follow your username. i think itll be a good way

[@Hel1mutt]

+How to Adult Hey guys! Love the stuff, but could you close that window next time, I just found it a little distracting when it was reflected in Emma's glasses is all :)

[@KumaKaori]

'bout time you lost the catchphrase. I was worried this channel actually had one these past few months. ;P.

[@eatmarth]

mastermind group = brain trust

[@wildxeyes]

[@AraneaPush]

Pointing to previous videos that you've made is not really answering questions. Next time, maybe pick questions you haven't answered previously?

[@8Sockhead8]

Donald Trump XD accurate
