[@davidyang6074]

My notes: Worry - thinking of consequence in the future Anxiety is our ability to predict problem in the future We generally want to be in control of our mind's capabilities, such as reflecting, planning the future When problem anticipation goes out of control, that's a problem The stronger your analytical ability, the higher the IQ, the worse this is Common response: seeking reassurance Anxiety is usually learned E.g. social anxiety may be from past bad experiences Anxiety is future oriented about the self The specific thing can be different E.g. Will I get a girlfriend Anxiety has cognitive and physical manifestations How does anxiety affect our mind? Anxious thoughts lead to more and more thoughts, lead to rumination, highjacking our problem solving capacity In contrast with problem-solving: problem solved, feels good Rumination: back to the same place again and again, problem not solved Coping mechanism for anxiety: shut off mind Sleep, gaming, drug, etc. But only lasts as long as the activity, then the mind turns back on Sometimes people try to argue with the thought, with yourself or others, but it only breeds more thoughts, doesn't work Solutions to anxiety: finding solution, meditating, engage in present activity fully Note that these activities are also relaxing They are all takes you to the present. When you are in the present, it is incapable of thinking of the future Example of game: when you are trying to win, it's fun. When you are worried of losing, it's not Western medicine focuses on the specific reason of the anxiety or phobia, while traditional yogic practice focuses on bringing the mind to the present and taking the focus away from the self (decrease the ego) If you remove sense of yourself from the anxiety, that removes the feeling This is why anonymity is protective for people who are socially anxious: it shields the ego. People who are confident are less concerned with opinions of others, therefore having less ego Fear of being incapable of change Future-oriented "I am going to die" When people acknowledge the inevitability of death, they actually feel peace, because this is a statement of the present. Outside problems are on the outside, anxiety is on the inside Determinism is about the future, what people need to do is to be in the present If you start action, that's in the present. If you think about the effect of the action, that's in the future Fear of not being successful You have no control over whether you turn out to be successful Not living up to one's potential? Potential is false. Potential does not exist, the only thing that exists is right here and now What you can control is going back to school, taking action, etc. You don't fix the anxiety, you focus on action in the present, and that takes your mind away from anxiety The mind is addicted to anxiety, and it is going to feed on any thought obsessively

Grinding in games is fine when there isn't a time limit or chance to miss out (fear of missing out) because otherwise the thought can turn from "I'm going to do these tasks for this reward" to "If I don't do these tasks then I won't get the reward" and that definitely feels bad.

[@monke4028]

thank you so much for this! super helpful.just for my own personal well-being I'm going to kinda of type out how I feel and put it into the world in some way once in for all, and try to move past my past... My entire life my anxiety has been debilitating. My parents did not love each other and always fought about money until they eventually divorced. My mom was a diagnosed schizophrenic. She was verbally abusive, narcissistic, and has a constant attention seeking/victim mentality. My dad is similar to me. Anxious, insecure, overweight. He uses porn, strippers, and financial success to cope. He used to be a better person, but bitterness has taken over his mind. He is now jaded and negative at all times. I still live with him and I feel absolutely miserable. Though, it's better than living with my mom. My mom after years of mental abuse now acts like she did absolutely nothing wrong, she thinks in her head that she was the perfect mother and she denies having schizophrenia. We have had our good moments, but mostly my time with her has been negative. She was always worried about who was saying what about her. She thought there were cameras in our house. Both of my parents instilled in me this fear of what people think of me. This constant need for approval. When I get that validation I feel this pseudo-confidence, but that is always only temporary. In 9th grade I dropped out of highschool due to anxiety. I would be so anxious just being around people. I was an ugly duckling, fat from bad eating habits, long unkempt hair, wore the same jacket everyday (in Texas heat), and to top it off I had acne. That got the better of me throughout my school life and made me stop trying at all. I was severely depressed from age 9 up and that also correlates to when my parents got divorced. At 11, I started looking at porn and that became my coping mechanism. From ages 11 - 17 all I did was watch porn, play video games, watch anime, and eat junk food. By the time I was 17 I was 225lbs. I decided to make a change so people would like me. From 17 - 20 I got into pretty good shape but still thought I was fat and ugly. Last year, I started working at Amazon to get me out of isolation and into the world and try to face reality. I had (and still have) an extremely insecure negative superego. At work, I kept to myself and worked hard so I could avoid all conflict with managers and other employees. I guess that looked attractive to people as I was promoted to a leadership/support role in a few months of work. That's when things started turning around a bit for me. I had a girl at work (same position as me) come on to me very strongly and thought I was attractive. As a virgin that was called ugly quite a bit in school that was unheard of for me (I was an ugly duckling). We got closer. I developed some attraction toward her, maybe because she gave me the reassurance that I lacked from childhood. I wasn't really physically attracted to her initially and I believe that was why she was flirty with me. Around her I wasn't seeking approval because she gave it to me. I was in the best place mentally of my life, and although I was still overthinking and insecure about everything it wasn't getting in the way of me functioning. From her perspective I imagine I looked calm, empathetic, and well adjusted. Those were not my true qualities, I was acting that way as a defense mechanism to avoid conflict, as previously stated. Well, we started hanging out at her house and I never made a move although in hindsight she was trying to get me to initiate the sex. I was way too anxious and insecure about what might happen if I try, so I avoided it. I basically friendzoned myself. I started caring too much about what she thought of me. I lost the qualities that she found attractive. On top of that I was (and still am) a god awful conversationalist when I'm anxious. I'm lacking in social skills due to never being encouraged to develop them. A few weeks go by and she tells me that she's having issues with a guy. Typical bullshit about the guy being avoidant and blah blah blah. She wouldn't tell me who it was. She was all I had so I stuck around as a friend. But she kept flirting and then distancing herself when I got too close. She drove me absolutely fucking crazy. I was so hooked on her validation that I became infatuated with her. She was all I thought about. My anxious thoughts broke through and she started seeing all of my insecurities, my feelings of inadequacy. I became an emotional tampon that buys her fucking peanut m&ms daily lol. She emasculated me completely, or more so I let her emasculate me. I suspect that that only happened because I felt that way about myself, AGAIN stemming from childhood. I felt so confused at the time but in hindsight I realize I was being manipulated for her own validation, because she suffers from the same issues as I do. From december 2019 to April 2020 I was her dog. Begging for validation. She broke up with her boyfriend in April and said was down for FWB. I don't think she ever planned on it actually happening though. I kept persisting and I guess she got bored of me. I took her to work one day and never talked to her again. I quit my job, and since May I have been doing nothing but smoking weed, watching really dehumanizing porn, and overthinking. I got fat again, 200lbs now. Wallowing. I don't know if I'm being sensitive, self-pitying, or if I'm a victim of emotional abuse. I don't know. I've thought a lot about suicide but I guess I am an optimistic person because I keep looking forward to maybe being normal and happy one day. I don't think she is a bad person. There are two sides to every story and I treated her like shit constantly by only viewing her as a sexual object and a means of validation, not as a person that I actually felt emotional connection to. My parents tried their best despite their circumstances. Life isn't easy for anyone and mind could be worse. I guess I'm just tired of the overthinking.

You did it again Doctor. K

[@KeenestObserver]

Guided yoga starts at 7:25

[@mountainoceanproject]

Other thought killing activities making love, exercising, gardening, sports, unconventional sports (surfing etc), and listening to Dr K is quite a thought killer cause I’m only focused on what he’s saying limiting my range of thoughts to a more narrow spans of thoughts. I often don’t think loops when listening to him I get guided down a path to realizations. Like when I get anxiety I think it’s stems from a loved one not listening to me about just basic things and it triggers thoughts of why are they not listening to me do they think I’m dumb, am I approaching this conversation wrong, do they not care about my opinion, do they even realize they are ignoring me, maybe I’m dumb, how can I prove I’m not dumb, and goes on and on. But now I realize I need to stop thinking about what this means for the future and be in the present and stop these thoughts from happening by understanding why I am having these thoughts even when I’m just alone, a place where I’m a not being listened to which triggers anxiety. Thanks Dr K hopefully this helps someone out there. Understanding is key to peace of mind.

[@xXWorldgamefunXx]

I'm not kidding, Dr. K has a great video about having proper conversations, which fits your situation. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnqkha2Cm5KsZpY I tried this out with my girlfriend (without telling her) and I had a great conversation afterwards and I realized how much I was doing wrong communication wise..

I will intergrate all the knoledge / wisdom / perspectives from this chanel... ( i believe the communication in the form of video game terms really speaks to that part of me that was previously extremly addicted to video games 3/4 years ago & i apprecaite being able to use & apprecaite all previous aspets of the self in a way that encourages the pregression of the current version of self / i like the allagories/ metephors / comparisins to life // video games you use i feel its alot more grounded & practical then a lot of the older terms that would be used in religious / yogic texts that can almost feel like a barrier to entry / a missunderstanding of communication to large groups of people that just leave people casting aside large groups of differrent perspectives because it would take a large investment to even consider // learn what it is truly trying to be communicated the mind just casts aside things it doesnt understand & validates the arrogance by reinfourcing the self & its beliefs regardless if they are or arnt serving you/ moving you towards what it is you truly desire in the long term/ present moment i find being able to look at trying new things as an expirement // a way to learn from & rewiring the way i comprehend sins (missing the mark// falirure greatly improves my ability to try in the first place ) the resistance is valid the ego is like a protection mechanism but not something you want to leave unchecked i believe creating a symbiotic relationship with all parts of the self is the most functional way to progress in life but is no easy feet in anyway shape or form the parts of self are so complex & the intillect can often decieve / create stories / rationanalisations that often lead you astray from the truth.. which sometimes can be something so simple but challanging to deal ( deap systems that run you.. that shit in the shadow parts of the self that are in control that you dont even pick up on especailly when your trapped chasing the instant gratifiactions society feeds you tells you are acceptable that shit ive come to realise for me is most incidiece... the systems that once kept us alive society / corperation have used to enslave the self & at times can leave you feeling so cut of from reality // source / god to the point where this grand life starts to feel empty or even hopless meditation is a key that can in time give you some space from those constant unconcious paterns if im completly honest it is the only reason i am still alive

Damn that’s kinda insane. He said the greater your analytical thinking abilities the stronger you anxiety. Kinda makes sense not trying to sound arrogant but I’m fairly smart, doing research in an engineering field etc. Anxiety for me was crippling for most my life but I’ve gotten much better at it through experience.

[@maduude8809]

But what about anxiety without thoughts? When I am feeling nauseous and paralyzed without fearing something concrete. Some times, either I have no energy and nothing seems worth it, or I have energy but it stems from anxiety and anything I do seems to carry the biggest consequences...

[@mothgru]

Have you seen a psychologist? It might be (like me) that the reason for your anxiety isn't immediately obvious, and that through the right questions and enough thinking and deliberation with a professional you can discover the real reason why you feel it.

[@greyblob1101]

That’s true. I feel like if I’m in a bad enough mental state, I won’t be able to handle people no matter how hard I try to focus and calm myself

[@5lender92]

@@mothgru in the exact same boat. I think we have thoughts fueling the anxiety and ever-present dread, but it's just a lot more discrete. I'm a HS senior who got into their dream school, and not much after I started getting super anxious about doing schoolwork. We work on a quarter system and I have done no work for 3 classes ('two are AP). Whenever I even think about my late work, all I feel is dread. Anguish. But I think that these feelings still come from thoughts I hypothesize that I'm really just imagining what it would feel like if I didn't do the work- if I was rescinded for my dream school I worked so hard for. There aren't exactly any thoughts unless I focus and look deep into my brain. But they still are there, even if my greatest symptom seems to have no thought process behind it. I know this comment is old but I hope it helps. In any chance you managed to tame your anxiety, what exactly did you do?

[@jdk5474]

I wish he would talk about derealization

[@qualityyoutube1593]

Hearing K's take on derealization would be awesome. In the meantime consider this, 'derealization' is a term coined by doctors. Clever people, but not necessarily the most spiritual enlightened beings, however cliche that phrase it. So, in this regard, the doctors will naturally view this aspect of the human condition through a more medical lens, not necessarily wrong but definitely partial. Of course, it's confusing when you don't understand what's going on. And how could you, being amidst it drowning in the cauldron completely alone. View this as existential growing pains and let it unfold naturally, willingly, dangle your feet above your bed at nighttime and let the monster drag you under. Few people walking today have come to the stage you're at, as they filter out reality, difference is, people like you have no filter for reality. When out of it, you'll see the cauldron and the wisdom it contains for what it is. But for now, bathe, bathe in the despair and see how beautiful it is. I will put my stakes on that dr.k's take will be in the same vein, although probably much more elaborate and clear spoken-meanwhile this is the best i can do.

[@Sirmooshalot]

I know I'm way late to the party, and maybe it is just masturbatory to go deeper into the specific subject material, but Juan, if you're somehow reading this, I posit to you that even if your behaviors are biologically pre-determined (or pre-determined by any other means, religiously, physically, etc), it doesn't matter to us at all. The reason for this is that we cannot decode what our predeterminations are. So even if you're biologically predetermined for your entire life to wake up at 7:30am, eat a banana that has a nutrition content that's also biologically predetermined, and go about your biologically pre-determined life, there's nothing that can inform you in advance if in the afternoon you will be struck by biologically pre-determined lightning, have biologically-predetermined tea with the queen, get stuck in a biologically-determined traffic jam, or stay home and cook biologically-predetermined chili. Because we cannot decode any predetermination, that just means that anything you can do is something that could have been predetermined. You can take joy that whatever you do is what you should be doing, and that includes working on and improving yourself in whatever way you want. The biological crux of this more specifically would be that your brain and mind (which are how I will refer to your subconscious and conscious minds) are both, in this context, predetermined by your biological makeup. This means that every conscious thought that you have or will have is already set out for you - INCLUDING the repetitive and abnormal conscious choices that your mind must make in order to train your brain that constitute individual change. Hopefully that helps you, or anyone with a similar problem. Much love to y'all out there, we're all in this together.

The reason I wanted to die is because I realised how empty my life is. Everyday I wake up and do the same routine again, and again, and again. I look in the mirror and tell myself today is going to be different, but its not. Everyday I find it harder to talk to people & to go out and to do things. I don't like going to places with too many people, as it reminds me of how alone I am. Sometimes I like to play mmorpgs just so I can feel like a different person, have a different life and not have to think about the real world. Sure, being alone is great because you can do anything you want whenever you want, but when you're breaking down and really need someone, that's when you realise how truly lonely you are. I'm sure deep down every introvert just wants someone to hug them and tell them that everything is going to be okay. And now I’m here waiting for someone that doesn’t exist.

@@pelhamrechtsanwalt2416 They do exist. Its hard to see with all the negative voices blinding you, but there are so many people that care about you that you dont even realize. If youre finding yourself unreasonably lonely, my first suggestion would be to step a out of your comfort zone and find a hobby you enjoy doing aside from gaming. For example, if you like to draw, find a local art class or a community acitivity involving drawing/painting you could go to where people with similar interests would go to. Once youre there and doing something you like, dont be nervous or overthink anything. Just do what you know and enjoy doing, draw or whatever, and youll realise that theres at least 1 person there that you could talk to that migjt enjoy your company or drawings or whatnot. I realize this is hard/impossible rn due to COVID19, but maybe you can use this time to figure out what exactly you enjoy doing and build the courage to try it out.

I started to do meditation due to this anxiety that I have developed recently. I know I'm not doing the routine right, and breathing exercise on certain of the day. I usually only do these exercise when I feel high anxiety, so its sometimes during the after noon with big breathing, sometimes at night or at the morning yoga & breathing. Sometimes throughout the yoga I feel my body letting go of the anxiety, forcing me to cry. I always end up crying a bit in certain positions. Then the thought of Anxiety. My mind always goes from Anxiety and then Relaxing. Some problems being solved but another issue which I had thought to be solve is actually bothering me.

@@armand9120 . . .Arguments I will never use. Thinking about a heated debate, while hiking through nature, ruins the mood. Being in this mental state mate me more reactive / more impulsive. Which lead to: -- watching more KZbin Videos after the deadline I set for myself --> this way I let my goals slip I think I needed to be more clear. In my thoughts I was returning to the same 2 debate topics again and again, which agitated me a lot. From time to time I still simulate arguments in my head, but they don't dominate my mind, like they used to. And I can easily move on to different topics.

@@armand9120 Sure, but I simply had enough of these 2 debates I constantly returned to. The more I pushed these away, the more they were growing. It was really annoying.

Just turn off anxiety 4Head no really though would love to know how. Too bad he didn't talk about physical part like he said he would too.

[@xnovanoid57]

Elias Gergi he’s talked a bit about physical before, from what I can remember - if your experiencing intense anxiety like a panic attack, you should dip your head in ice water since it gives your brain another stimulus to focus on.

Not remove it but tame it

Can you please talk about physical anxiety in a video?

[@burtbiggum499]

Its funny how much of this is in the army

[@emmanarotzky6565]

Huh, I definitely don’t experience anxiety as future focused. I just feel it as a physical sensation in the present that isn’t referring to any specific worry about the future.

[@baegiby4496]

Worry - thinking of consquences "I worry i if i don't do it like what my mind want i can't do it right" is this count as worry?

Love the vids doc. They are giving me a good understanding how the mind works. The notes and drawings makes its really nice to follow for someone with ADHD.

[@mechka8435]

i love this man

[@selin_tanriverdi]

Firstly, WOW this doc is such a blessing and secondly, he said that any activity where the mind is present will be relaxing but what about doing physically strenuous activity so that the mind focuses on that and not the thoughts?

[@tili_]

you kind of answered your question but yes yoga is the perfect example for this

[@DeboraSolnik]

I think Dr. K commented at some point in this video that he would do a video later on about strategies to deal with the arguments/tension we keep creating against our anxiety thoughts that just feed them more. Or maybe it was strategies for something else LOL I could be misremembering it but I remember he said he would talk about strategies for something in a future video. Anyways, does anyone know if that video is already up in the channel somewhere? Thanks! :)

It would be great to know a bit more about Juan's point, bcs I suddenly realised that this case seems to be a lot like many of mine are: I use people's terms to verbally code a slightly different idea, which is not that the term represents academically, but still fits to my purpose so I use it anyway and that leads to misunderstandings. Look, biological determination, academically speaking, is about overrating the role of genes and stuff they build during the development and life of the organism. That's it. It's not a direct cause of a behaviour, just take a look on kids rescued from places without proper human socializing at early periods. Their genes are totally OK. And those genes did a great job at building all the structures we all have. But the behaviour is dramatically different, which means that real, commonly understood biological determination doesn't rule this realm all by itself. It's really almost only about how high I can jump and not about whether I'm going to jump anyway. But at the same time this term really fits (for me at least) to verbally encode the idea of learned behavioural patterns and their strong power over our decisions. Those patterns are physical. It's those connections between group of neurons, tons of'em. And I can relate to the anxiety of failure bcs of the power those connections can have. So if I'm going in Juan's direction here, then I would start to study mechanism of establishing those connections, right to the images of structures involved. And then -- mechanism of dissolving those connections, again with pictures. Just to deeply understand the process and see by my own eyes, that behaivour can be physically learned and posess power over us and be physically unlearned and loose that power. After this understanding it's just a question of time, patience and actions which were discussed in this wonderful video.

[@FirstPersonOnUtube]

I think determinism still makes sense. When we make a decision, it's a thought produced by our brain, neurons firing in a specific way. The neurons are arranged as a result of everything our body has gone through in life, from when we were conceived until the present. Every atom in our body has an explainable way for being in its place. Everything is atoms bumping into each other ever since the big bang. I could be very wrong, but I think it makes logical sense that everything is just an extremely complex chain-reaction. I think choice is an illusion. We are just a cluster of atoms, and anything we do is a direct result of the exact arrangement of those atoms. Legitimately curious what other people think, I'm not well educated on determinism, or physics of the universe, or in general, so I may be misguided.
