voice!

[@aimam4884]

Her aura...

[@katiie7]

She’s chill. Talks at a pace that is calming. Dosent raise her voice or put a ton of theatrics behind what she’s saying which actually is easier to grasp because you’re truly listening not getting jolted with excitement and fear hahah

[@rainbowgirl3727]

Yesss she's so chill

[@cyrus6604]

ur vids r not depressing there just real

[@NamFlow]

Yep, a lot of bullshit everywhere, so it's refreshing to see something "real" for once. Some people portray themselves as happy 24/7 and that's just not realistic. Even the happiest people on earth have bad days from time to time, maybe less frequent, but they have. I can't imagine happy person being happy when someone close to them dies or so, just to give (quite drastic :-D) an example.

[@qayathetruestepper]

"How to be genuinely happy". I'll paraphrase Jordan Peterson's observations: "Happiness is a momentary state. Enjoy it while it lasts. It will be brief. Don't strive for happiness. Strive for meaningfulness. Strive for something which gives you a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, which makes the pain and sorrow of life able to be faced."

I completely agree with what you said about bored people! People ask me why I am so quiet / why I like staying at home. It’s because I have hobbies: I read, I play instruments, I write, I find new recipes to cook etc. I am always in the company of my favorite person: me. People who are bored have no interests (like you said) or do not like the company of their own mind (my opinion).

[@sindre9484]

I’m new here, so I just want to say you’re a very reflected person. You cover these subjects, that I find so hard to talk about, so well and informative. I learned a lot from just this video. Not every video on KZbin is purposed to make you laugh and grin, but to make you think and consider things. Thank you!

[@LanaBlakely]

Thanks a lot Sindre :-)

[@annakasik6704]

It’s interesting how different people can perceive the same content . I mean I find your videos far from depressing, actually I see them on the other end of the spectrum - for me they are very motivating and uplifting and I believe its because of the message they are delivering and how it makes me feel.

[@LanaBlakely]

Glad to hear that, as they're meant to be just that, and not depressing. :-)

[@vivekmohan4271]

Your videos are not depressing at all Lana. I guess people have been influenced by flashy videos and modern day life circumstances that are far away from reality. Thank you for creating a space on KZbin where people can share their real life experiences and work towards a more meaningful life.

[@LanaBlakely]

I agree. Thanks for your comment Vivek :-)

[@daisyluna2261]

When you explained how your style is kinda dark and seems slow. I like it, I’m an introvert and when I express my emotions or parts of me infront of others i tend to talk slow because the words just don’t flow as easily. I appreciate your style of expressing yourself. I felt sometimes like I talked that way that people might get impatient or think I don’t want to spit out my words but it’s just I can’t find the words to express myself and need time for it to flow

[@disorganizedclutter5513]

I feel like everyone needs to talk slowly when they're talking about something more deep. I feel like it's easy to talk fast if youre talking about something superficial or regurgitating things.

[@ArchiduquesaMA]

The soft light and your quiet voice is a mood

[@almiraerdogan2050]

YOU are depressing? Hell no. You are so relaxing and also you motivate me. Keep doing your thing!!

[@andriarose4502]

Your videos always make my day. I suffer from severe anxiety and often get mocked by others for being shy and soft, so I’m glad you’re out here bringing awareness to all these topics.

[@charlheynike9619]

As a single man, I wish more women could be deep thinking and philosophical like you! Also, a pro tip for anxiety.. Anxiety is all about control. If you learn to let go of controlling your life, anxiety goes too. Practicing radical acceptance for how life unfolds is very helpful. Also having a spiritual belief that everything happens as it should helps too!

[@Jordan-xg4pn]

Interesting. Gonna implement this.

[@renebartley1540]

Wow, I have been experiencing some anxiety recently and today I suddenly realised that I was trying to be in too much control. I was always trying to change my thoughts rather than accepting and dealing with them. I think we need to relaise that even though this is our life, we should also realise that there is some force out there in charge and that we should not try to be in control of every single thing and just ket things flow sometimes

[@bitamasoumi8344]

Most of women I know are deep thinking & philosophical like her but they never express their deep thought because unfortunately the society & most of people doesn’t like that ... Thank you for the anxiety tip.

[@disorganizedclutter5513]

I know what you mean about anxiety. But if that's anxiety, then what's depression?

[@charlheynike9619]

@@disorganizedclutter5513 dunno. Probably a form of nihilism.

[@cayceedolan8091]

Your videos make me feel like everything is okay. Almost like a mother reassuring her children that she will always protect and watch over them. Thank you for doing what you do. It's really life-changing.

[@itsthegs2482]

I don’t think you’re depressing. I honestly enjoy watching your videos. They’re so full of advice and it helps me relax when I’m having a hard time. I love how you’re so calm in your videos.

[@jovanakesar]

Definitely not depressing, but reflecting the inner world of a deep thinker.😊

[@youknowme2252]

I love your videos, only an introvert would appreciate the relaxing and mellow vibe of your videos and not find them depressing.

[@Edanasaur]

I have never gotten the impression you are depressed or anxious. You seem, cool, calm and collected. A quiet self confidence.

[@james-r]

2:47 the contrast from the mainstream media of being content with life, has dictated how quieter and introvert people are persevered. When I was younger I used to get sick of being called boring and dull because I didn’t want to go out partying to a nightclub or hang out with people all the time. Equally from my perspective, the times I have been to a nightclub or socialised, it’s soul destroyingly boring, talking about immensely trivial superficial things, standing in nightclubs or pubs which are room smelling of piss, alcohol and body odour, and again having immensely trivial superficial conversations. I’d much rather stay at home

[@Kheyphos]

Lana, your channel is far from dark; it's bright! So calm, so reflective, so soothing... As a new subscriber from Brazil, I am glad I've met you accidentally when fooling around on YT. Love the tranquil, serene way you talk about those existential issues and crisis, so difficult to tackle in the course of our short human lives. You're beautiful and young, and yet so mature! Keep it up!

[@totalt6600]

[@ambujkansal]

So much calmness , nothing short of a meditative speech running. I love to listen you Lana.

[@jam20230]

I never found you depressed or depressing at all. You live your life at your own terms, at your own pace. Your channel provides us a calm, serene and peaceful place to focus from the daily chaos of life, where everyone is screaming, rushing, bursting out losing temper, mental breakdowns...all the stresses and chaos of life. I listen to you when I am working on my desk, it gives me focus, I relate to you, you are real, authentic and being yourself. When we listen to many youtubers they try so hard to speak loudly, jumping around screaming to get the viewers' attention, and honestly it hurts our brains. Listening to you is refreshing, your video aesthetics is not for those who are depressed, your videos are for those who are courageous to be themselves, to take a moment and calm down.

[@praveenranjanlal3839]

Your videos aren't depressing, they are calming. ❤️

Finally i found someone like me. People around me are always thinking that l’m depressed and shy cause i’m too quiet and my face is like i’m sad ( but actually i don’t). They made me think that being introvert is sth weird and i’ve to be more extrovert:(( Knowing you makes me become more confident and accept that being introvert is fine. Love you:)

[@RayMysteryo]

watching this video i realized how thoughtful all your answers were, comparing it to another person who may just be saying things i'd lose interest very quickly. Even if the idea is something that i'm not totally familiar with or don't think about it regularly, the fact that you took the time put some good thought into your ideas made it worth trying to figure out since you can tell it's coming from a place of sincereness. u rock

[@randomstuffwithkori5596]

For years I have tried to smile, make jokes and choose to be considered as immature just to assure other people that I am happy and not depressed but rather that restricted me from growing and be actually happy. You really have a calm energy and I really like that about you. That's what I have tried to achive this years. People I would like to tell you that just because someone tried to be calm doesn't mean they are depressed ♡ Love and support from Ethiopia

[@kimayanatekar9336]

Hi Lana you're probably never gonna read this but you, just by being you, kinda motivate me to be more authentic and just myself, in a weird way. Just the fact that you're not trying to be anyone else which it's so easy to fall into the trap of morphing into, makes it refreshing and calming. Thanks.

Really love the solution oriented answers. We can find the psychological point of views everywhere on Internet, but real knowledge from someone's experience is very valuable.

[@ndlsumr]

Regarding the question whether you're depressed - sounds like a question from someone extroverted / highly social. Not everyone responds to the energy-infused, Tony Robbins, Barbie the cheerleader type. Your videos resonate with me because you're introspective, calming, and engaging. More so, the way you intersperse video of yourself with contemplative scenery is beguiling and captivating. And you obviously 'reach' people with your style, having nearly a quarter of a million subscribers and millions of views.

[@LabofmusicRecords]
