where did u find the narration in this video describing micheal scott

[@cibko]

When I was 20-21 I watched the Office and laughed at Michael Scott. Now I'm 34 and my life became his...

[@haitiankid9456]

Damn, I laughed at him at 13 and now at 21 I relate to him more than ever

[@rc-pm1fe]

37, i know what you mean

[@kalvin187douglas]

I was born in 2003, when I first learned The Office it didn’t retain my interest just yet when I was 14 but when I was 16. I used to pity Michael Scott, and feared being him. Being alone, pretending everything is peachy, and desperate for friendship he immediately assumed his work life was his family. As I got older I adored the office and realized Michel is the symbolization of everyone and to specific people that can relate to him and I’m one of them. I just tuned 21 now, I can understand Michael fundamentally on an deep emotional level. I see that everyone is Michael and in his dark times we can all face that and easily just as acted as Michael did. The important thing about Michael’s character is that he continued to grow and evolved throughout the series, he’s still Michael but he becomes more understanding, less self absorbed, and better

[@aaronkenyon7112]

I never thought I could relate to Michael so much right now. I'm 23 years old, these are supposed to be my fun years but how can I have fun when I have nobody to have fun with? I don't get so intrusive like Michael, I'm a polite, approachable guy who can have a laugh with people and they know it but yet I still feel alone cause of how little I get included in social events

[@a_loyal_kiwi88]

Welcome to the 21st century. With the advent of telecommunications, wireless handheld phones and ultimately the internet, humanity is more interconnected than at any other point in our history. And it's consequence is that on an individual level, we the conman man face the largest epidemic of loneliness known to man from lack of interpersonal relationships and opportunity to socialize with our peers in person as our ancestors did on such regular basis. We aren't taught the importance of maintaining a healthy community of friends and family, and are expected to leave them behind to make our fortunes somewhere else. Or are left behind by everyone else as they go off to find themselves. Say what you want about collectivist ethos, atleast it puts more emphasis on people staying together as a community than the current individualistic ideals the world holds where the majority end up alone and miserable with burnt bridges a mile long.

[@kamartaj3010]

I already ended up like him.

[@AzzaBatteries]

I'm 15, I feel like him

[@willkoestner4159]

Yo. I'm pushing 30 and I've been working with senior citizens for the better part of a decade. You have time. You're still young, but those later years are so much more than you could imagine. Live now. But take care of yourself. Life has far more to offer than I could ever explain. It's going to be great. It really is

[@harrydavey9884]

The point of Michael's character is that he's so caught up on popularity and being socially accepted in a context he can't control, instead of focusing on being happy within the context of the parts of his life that he can control. Aaron, stop trying to find happiness in other people and look for happiness within. When you find that, you will exude that happiness and draw in people who have found that same happiness. This might not be what you want to hear, but you have not matured emotionally and are looking for validation in others, that is a trait that people find unattractive. Validate yourself by being the best you that you can be and the rest will fall into place.

[@mansi7893]

I cry everytime I see the airport scene. Makes me happy that he got to play ball with his kids.

[@nod-qg5wh]

I started crying when Jim knows he’s not going to be there the next day. And creed says see you next day boss and the pam scene it hards.

[@1584Adventure]

Makes alot sense why hes such a great sales man, he lives for the interaction

[@_AZBT_ASHUTOSHKUSHWAHA]

Business is people, when we don't see them as an anomaly for our gains , numbers come automatically. These big companies fall regardless of them being skyscrapers because they don't value what is the need, the customer may need a product but an interaction is a deal and business well done

[@LoneWolf-bk7zx]

Maybe the reason Michael is always acting weird because he doesn’t want to end up lonely and is eager for attention , others acknowledging his existence . He was always neglected in his childhood and was a loner .That’s why he wants to be included in everything .

[@harrydavey9884]

Yeah, the show makes that quite evident. Michael is emotionally stunted due to the lack of a father and needs to become his own man in order to ever find happiness. Many young men I see in this comment section seem to be suffering a similar emotional immaturity. Pretty sad, but only they can fix their own issues. Looking for validation in others will never yield the results you want.

I don’t think everyone can relate to him but he definitely reaches out to certain types of people

[@Archietektera]

The reason I'm so obsessed with watching The Office is because of the similarities between Michael's life and mine. I'm a woman, I'm almost 24, but I've never had a relationship and even though I try to be optimistic about it all, as I get older I feel more and more terribly alone and then I don't feel that it will ever change... My biggest fear is that I will never find love or never meet a soulmate and start a family. Michael, even though I know he's a totally fictional character, is the person I identify with the most. And the more I watch the series, the more I see the depth, the pain, and the more I understand his desire for acceptance from others... Which I also do in my life actually. And the final scene at the airport gives me hope that I too might find my soul mate... The whole series I kept my fingers crossed for Michael to be happy, because even though he is sometimes socially illiterate, he is still a person with a good heart. I am happy that The Office was made, thank you for the perfect cast, script, acting and everyone else who helped create this treasure and masterpiece. I don't want to sound it like a cliche, but it's a thing that helps me to live (or survive sometimes) my life better.

[@Parth25]

Thank you so much for sharing your story and opening up about your feelings. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable, and I'm glad that The Office has brought you some comfort and hope. Sending you positive vibes and wishing you all the best in your journey!

[@HappyLarry.]

Life is a random series of random occurrences with people you may never see again. But rest assured, there is someone out there who would love to meet you :)

[@amandac9894]

I am going through the exact situation right now. Sometimes I think I’ve made a friend but then it hits me that they don’t see me as a friend…just someone who’s there. They’ll go off and won’t say bye, they’ll just not interact with the same enthusiasm. I make plans they cancel. I’ve been strong in my solitude for a long time but damn…is there something wrong with me?

[@anoopvarghese8545]

I am just 21 and I can already feel like I will end up like Michael. Alone and no one to share my feelings... Not even a friend. Lately I am preparing myself for that.

How pure to think that getting laid with someone comes after being in love with that person. Michael you truly are a gentleman at your core

[@Blackraptor1234]

Well he knows you don't need that. Where that sentiment comes from is kids. He wants to be in love with who he starts a family with so he can give his kids the full family he never had.

[@kalvin187douglas]

Right

[@mikaflako7719]

When I would binge and a scene where Michael brings up something vulnerable or embarrassing I would always think about how relatable his situation was to mine. Just an awkward lonely guy navigating a world searching for love and comfort.

Micheal being a shining light for erin is sole evidence of that fact that it' doesn't take much to be kind but takes a lot to be an ass to others.. For me I've lost dozens through my school and college life, but i gained a handful and they don't deserve anything but happiness and i will give it to them ten fold because they didn't see an acquaintance, they saw a brother, a friend 😊😊

Michael was hopeful, good humored and not shy. I'm 27, I'm so tired of people. When I'm interested in someone, I show my feelings and women play sentimental games. What is happening that people refuse to say "I'm not interested" or say "I like you too"? They always play with the feelings of others. I'm so tired of life. I'm so tired of having to endure and believe that things may or may not be better in the future. I feel like I've done my best here, I feel like nothing else I do can make things better. I don't want to die, I want to feel safe and be happy, but I don't think that will ever happen.

I took acid and watched this show once after seeing it many times previously and my whole perception changed. I am from England and appreciate both editions for what they are but aside from the absurd comedy and romance stories I see this now as a documentary on loneliness in the modern day. Fantastic emotional moments. It’s not just Michael either, the whole cast emanates some devastating isolated feelings and it’s beautiful, at least as much as anything can be beautiful in our current enlightened world.

[@AmusementPerks]

Whenever Michael does weird things and people get angry , i feel bad for Micheal . I mean they just don't get how lonely Micheal is , it's not their fault but still a little empathy can make someone's day .

[@IsThisUsernameAvailable]

Finished Season 7 Episode 22 recently, Michael Scott will forever be in my heart. I'm 21, I have friends who make me feel alone, I was made to think I am worthless by my dad, I'm immunocompromised living in a Third World country, battling a cronic illness that could make me lose mobility if I ever failed to keep my expensive treatment going, and I feel so alone. My room is a mess, I hardly want to eat anymore, The Office, and Michael specifically made me laugh like I haven't laughed in a long time, but it also made me realize how meaningless my existance is

[@Parth25]

hey, all the best for everything. i believe in you :)

[@anaisroseanne]

Yes, your existence it's meaningless, like my, and like the others, so, do not feel that bad about it, i know that a beauty words does not help a lot, but, really you are not alone, a warm space on a shared pain. Hoping ur health (;.

[@mikeylife3482]

I'm really glad Michael got the ending he deserves. everyone thought he was just a in mature boss which he was most times, but he was just a lonely guy who made the office his family, until he met holly. Holly was probably the best thing that came into Michael's life and hearing in the final episode he and holly had kids together was really great to now know he got what he wanted, a family.

[@PiyaRai-v8z]

because of micheal scott i started appreciating people and falling in love with literally everbody, not in a romantic way, in a literal way where i appreciate them as who they are and just being involved hoping for the best for all, i think i got out of my hate people phase because of the office.. because watching michael i realised that this is what i want deep down...i was just too afraid of the thought of being left or hurt

[@AdityaGupta_94]

It’s so devastating to see that so many people actually go through what a character from a Tv show went through. We look around and see so many happy faces and it’s difficult to tell what story these faces are hiding inside them. Stay strong all the Michael Scotts and Chandler Bings out there! We will all be happy someday.

[@d4ngus169]

What’s sadder about Michael is that he never talked about his real father only his step father Jeff he did not have his dad

[@ItsBellaJoy]

I know the show is supposed to be funny. but anytime I watch a scene where we truly see how lonely Michael is, and how much he just wants someone to care about him as much as he cares about them. I break out into tears

[@kalvin187douglas]

Right, I believe that’s the point. Michael projects his emotions through his daily life, sometimes it’s to the point of a mask and reputation. When it’s off, it’s get sad and also incredibly relatable usually

[@pavanbr8060]

when i first watched the office, the cringy moments of Michael scott REALLY made me uncomfortable.. i thought it was just the cringe, but when i later thought about it, i realized, that i actually "related" to Michael a lot, and that scared the shit out of me.. the thought "will i end up being just like him" crossed my mind..

[@Rudraksh.]

Don’t cry it’s just a sitcom… :(

[@oscarvelarde3239]

I’m 24, I lost my friends and my girlfriend the past month, they got away bc they said that I became a prepotent, selfish and pretentious person. Lately I’ve been feeling so lonely, used to go out every weekend and now there’s no one I can go out with, and God, feels terrible, sometimes I just want to talk or being heard, and I have no one to talk to. Been feeling like Michael when he said: “What is so wrong about me? I’m caring, I’m generous, I’m simple. Is it really so horrible that I could possibly go out and find happiness?". Hope no one else feels this way.

[@greenice9986]

I just thought Michael was just a crappy person cause of some childhood issues, but this gave me a whole new perspective on what he really is like, as originally I thought he was just a replication of the typical boss just more ignorant, but in reality, he just was rejecting what his life was and used this idea of how cool must be, as a distraction from all this. He truly was a good person, just he didn't know what to do or say to show that, so it makes sense why some of the only scenes where characters recognize him, were when he was making a nice gesture, or was speaking without trying to be funny or seek attention. sometimes I kinda feel like this too. being ignored for the way you are, something you don't know how or will probably ever have the ability to change.

[@Chavsbusiness]

The things Micheal did for others and the things he got it return just wasn't fair. Yes he could be an asshole but thats just misunderstood. He did it because he believed be could make friends that way. Look at his situation with Packer. It perfectly shows that Micheal meant nothing to him. But Packer was a great "friend" to Micheal

Even if I'm not as intrusive as Michael, I feel as alone as him. I have my family and some close friends but those friends are living their lives with their couples. Meanwhile I've been single for 10 years now and it's been really hard to get a good girl. Either they ghost me or are not interested in me. I'm not good in my career, I don't even like it. I don't know if life is worth it but I don't wanna die, I'd just like to have a better future. Though, I'm scared of getting tired of living at some point and give it up.

Yeah When you are a kid you kinda hate Michael Then as you start to get old you start to understand him And then as a adult you can comeback to just despise the man, because you know what? You being miserable is no excuse for treating people the way he does. He thinks that people own him something and only see them as a way to get what he wants, attention, affection, etc. I really see Michael Scott as a fully realised character.
