I genuinely consider Blindboy an academic. Extremely eloquent & is effective in getting a point across. Hope he has expanded this role more & more since this video came about.

[@renegadegex]

To be fair to him he has a masters in Social Practice and the Creative Environment, so he is a real academic

[@gerardduggan9109]

He’s one of the great minds of his generation. He fired off on all cylinders on so many levels. His podcast is essential to me.

[@gerardduggan9109]

He just astonishes me. His knowledge, he’s creativeness, his compassion. He really is a remarkable human being.

[@darraghmooneymusic3420]

The world needs more people like this man.

[@f.t.b9719]

This man is just so inteligent on so many levels. Thank you Blindboy for sharing your wisdom

[@marybroome7865]

This really hit me. It helped so much to hear it described this way. So brilliantly yet simply put. A great speaker and spinner of wise silliness :)

[@Feeetzy]

Straight knowledge as per. Huge respect for Blindboy

[@BradleySkaggsNYC]

He needs to do a TED Talk.

[@nexviper]

As someone who's studied cognitive therapy a lot but has always struggled to put it into practice it is great to hear it, and the related emotional intelligence stuff, spoken about in such an accessible and relatable way. Cheers Blindboy, hope you and Mr Chrome are back in Scotland sometime soon and I can get my head sorted enough to come see you live.

The problem with depression, it is not that easy and not one solution fixes all issues. CBT can help a lot of people, but it not the be all of solving issues. It is made up of multitude of different therapy and you need a proper trained professional (Hopefully not trained in feminism beliefs). There is often society issues, or family issues and financial, losing one home, that forced men into depression. "Man up" and "Where are all the good men out there?” is a couple of particular phrases, which is society driven and often driven by women, mainly by feminists propaganda these days. www.psychologytoday.com/blog/conquer-fear-flying/201402/why-cbt-cant-regulate-anxiety everydayproblemsolving.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/cbt-from-an-everyday-perspective-part-i/ everydayproblemsolving.wordpress.com/2010/04/12/cbt-from-an-everyday-perspective-part-ii/ www.excelatlife.com/articles/cbterrors.htm dalrock.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/why-wont-these-peter-pan-manboys-man-up-and-marry-aging-flighty-selfish-career-gal-sluts-already/

Very smart man, fair play blindboy, I'm struggling with mental health problems myself and this his me hard ,Its sad enough too when it's a fella with a plastic bag spittin truth like this and we won't be hearing this from politicians for a good while

[@burkley57]

Very clever and learned man. Glad he's using his fame for a good cause and trying to enlighten

[@markhughes4547]

Blindboy absolutely on point as always. Time to worry about my own shorts for once

[@greylizard1040]

Blindboy does such amazing work, not just for Ireland, but he puts this knowledge out there for everyone who might be able to find it and use it. It's not something the average person has access to without taking a course, or knowing where to look for it, or what to look for. Even with the occasional swear word and a very casual appearance, he is better spoken and more knowledgeable than most people I've seen get up and speak, just in general.

[@gemmaelizabeth6644]

Absolutely brilliant unbelievable voice for our generation

[@michaelcurran5245]

thanks, great to know i'm not the only one obsessing about these self-limiting hinderances.

[@JonsBasicGaming]

This is an amazing analysis of mental health problems. Well done. I love you.

[@eddiestaunton514]

Love him as much as i love anyone going through things

[@eanni91]

Thank you blindboy for existing. Your content is the closest thing to my stream of consciousness I’ve seen on the internet. It makes me feel more comfortable being myself in this chaotic world.

[@greywanderer5935]

This was brilliant, thank you.

[@viciousinu4001]

to quote Newt Scamander "worrying means you generally suffer twice". but i cant stop myself from doing it.

[@mflaherty8880]

This dude is a hero

[@sarahdean6441]

Much wisdom.

[@dervilfleming]

U nailed it. U also summed me up. I do all the things u said the procrastination the people pleasing etc etc

[@nobodybutnobody7777]

more people need to watch this

[@MrGello69]

Thank you blindboy for the honest truth about mental health. I really appreciate what you had to say here and have shared it with my family, friends and colleagues. Cheers

[@shutupyouplank]

I share this with everyone who needs to hear it, he's some man for getting the point across, fair play.

[@HorsemanOz]

Brilliant! I work with differently abled children (ASD etc etc etc..) and the system... well, it's the fookin system and its as hard to shift as shoving against Uluru. So... it hates me. So, fook that too. But I'd work with Blindboy any day. To help someone out of a hole..sometimes it's best to jump in there with them.

[@karenmccord4954]

Always rewatch this ,♥️

[@dieseluk2k]

He's a smart fella, I like him.

[@blacksheep2434]

I want those fucking shorts

[@1060michaelg]

He's got a comfortable presence about him, like he's your mate.

[@dickturpin1815]

That's how it fucking starts

[@rosieyorke8250]

[@kenbambrick1]

The man speakes #Fact

[@bobojeffery4773]

thank you!

[@irishelk3]

As a young person, I’m 29 now, it I find that people in Ireland aren’t nice to each other these days, what’s the point in being proud to be Irish if people hate each other?. You can be the most humble person in the world, but once you show any sign of intelligence or talent, you’re secretly hated. They see your creativity but maybe assume that this means your life is brilliant. I live in Swords, the town where blindboy got his bag, from JCs, anyway, I find a lot of teenagers in Swords to be very negative people, they have no sense of humour, they think they’re hard as nails, when I was their age I wasn’t an angel but we were mostly good lads, we hung around anywhere, we played football, we took the piss out of each other, we had a laugh. These teenagers now are a new breed, I don’t know who they’re role models are but they must be the biggest muppets on earth.

[@Onlinesully]

the description here of the build up to more serious mental health issues is right on. I've gone about life the wrong way.

[@Paul5520]

Very good😊👌🏻

[@jamestreacy8370]

Wow

[@Adamb87]

[@mrronan2007]

its a pity the one thing this lad is good at he has dropped .he gave a talk at opening of Troy studios .so many mixed messages . in the middle of all the babble about the layers of emotional intelligence he was telling the audience that only 300 thousand views on you tube per day could earn a person 1.5 million per year ..

[@jimmycricket7385]

When he can face the world, I might hear him out. But so long as he wears a plastic bag on his head with lipstick smeared over it.....forget it.

[@shaskins15]

Just stop mocking the church for chrissakes lol
