You don’t need to interview NF if you’ve actually listen to his music

True, its always so frustrating to hear them ask so many questions and Im like, listen to that and that song and you'll know.

[@eyeamvirg]

Might not need to on your logic I suppose .....but for me, to mesh minds for a lil and just vibe would be worth it. Interview but Nøt, more like sitting next to each other outside a counselor's office in passing, bs'ing branching into different deep ish... 💯

You can feel his anxiety and nervousness in this video... he isn’t kidding when he writes about it in his songs.

I actually hate watching his interviews (i do enjoy listening to them like a radio talk) because of how uncomfortable he looks during interviews. I love NF and I hate seeing him in such situations, specially with all the fake interviewers around him who have to be someone else other than who they really are because that's what their job requires them to do

IT IS I suffer everyday and so does NF. The thoughts pile up and for me it leads to depression sometimes I don’t know what to do with myself. He’s so relatable like omg I love him. His definition of OCD is 100% true. And thank YOU 🙏 for commenting this because people like me who’s thoughts run their life every second of the day really appreciate it. You probably suffer too I’m so sorry you have to deal with it. I’m glad to know that there’s good people like you and that I’m not alone cause for the longest time I felt like I was the only one with ocd but people like you and NF help me everyday 🙏. You’re not alone either we’re all in this together.

Find someone you trust outside of family to talk about it. It's important. There's no cure other than submergent therapy so the fact that you are willing to talk about it says a loyal of good things about your self awareness and strength.

[@robbinschinkel8480]

Imagine Nate growing into a more stable dude after a few years. Going to therapy, gaining more wealth, makes it possible to slow done a bit which gives him the opportunity to get into a better place mentally. More writing, more experimenting with his sound. Hope he pulls through, and can bare the suffering. 'To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering'

[@lindsaycook7545]

His explanation of OCD is on point! The control thing is really difficult. My biggest issue was not being allowed to talk with people about stuff that I was going through because that was my ritual and if I didn't talk about it, then I just freaked out, but the more I did the more I felt like I wasn't normal and the more I would convince myself that I was a terrible person because most of the obsessions in OCD aren't normal, so when my therapist told me I wasn't allowed to talk with others about my depressive thoughts I about blew up because I felt like she was just controlling me. Yet when I stopped reporting every single thing that came up in my head and stopped seeking approval from others I was less anxious.

[@HMPRODIGY]

Too different energies coming off in this video, and It turns out to be awkward. The interactions of where she's trying to understand him, comes across as she's not understanding at all. Definitely a one sided type of conversation.

The reason I loved NF when I first heard him on the song The Search is because he's the first rapper who I heard talking about OCD. I have been diagnosed with OCD and I always felt like noone understands me and I couldn't find artists that talk about that thing and Nate completely changed that. I finally found a rapper that I love their music, their style and I can deeply relate to a lot of things they rap about.

[@sunnythekitkat2651]

I have OCD that started really attacking a couple of years ago. The subject of them is something I can only talk about with a few people, including therapists, but it sucks. It's nice having an artist talk about it in a real way and not the whole "I like things to be orderly and perfect" and that's all which isn't really all OCD is

Talking about mental health is brave he puts the reality of it in his raps. He rlly goes thru what he talks about in his songs and more people need to listen. His body language rlly shows that he has severe anxiety and discomfort around people from past traumas.From covering his face with his hat, the leg shaking to intterupting the girl to get the interview over with. It helps to know you're not alone thanks NF.

I have the same exact thing with my OCD. I guilt myself for "lying," even if it isn't a deceitful lie, but more of a mistake. Like if I tell someone what time I showed up to a party, I would have to tell them as close as possible to the actual time as I can. If I showed up at 8:53 instead of 9:00, I'll have to say "ABOUT 9:00, maybe a little before. I think around 8:50-8:53." I can't just round up without mentioning it.

This is my first real encounter with NF. He is so interesting, and obviously in it for the pure love of music-only. That’s refreshing. That’s why his work is so amazing. Also, I know a lot of people are down on the interviewer, but I thought she had good energy. He knows he’s in a world full of people cursing, even if he doesn’t choose to do so... I really enjoyed seeing him in interview and will DEFINITELY be exploring more of his music!

7:50 he don't look at the camera for the whole thing, but when he says, "I don't really trust people" he looks RIGHT at the camera. :) I appreciate this man so much.

[@cs7021]

This interview made me love him even more, the fact that he opened up about the OCD and was so vulnerable and open is how you help people understand and break stigma. I knew exactly what he was talking about.

[@ayadbinishaq]

Same

[@fenix0876]

He's so humble. I love this man so much. His music has really touched me

[@shelrenae5626]

10:01 when your crush makes a bad joke but you still have to laugh😂

[@rivetabiscuits1548]

Oh no💀🤚

[@emyf9197]

Lmao thats the vibe I got from her too😅 But ended up cringing

[@alexanderrentzsch2029]

DANKE!!

[@NeuroNate24]

I just came across this artist a few weeks ago and I’ve been listening to all his music. Can't stop listening to it!! I watched the whole interview in it’s entirety. It's the first ever interview of his that I’ve seen. I love how open he is, down to earth, he's extremely humble, and I can definitely relate to him on many levels. The guy is very talented, lyrically gifted and he's not full of himself and is extremely REAL. He's like someone you can hang with and shoot the shit with and I love that about him. Will definitely recommend his music to others! Keep keeping it real NF!

[@v0rtex00]

Omggggg, this is so new I’m so exited ❤️❤️

[@henrikvanwalsum]

12:11 Did she even listen to the new album??? "Nate" on The Search aswers this question with a whole song... I know he's talking to a bit younger Nate in the song, but still...

[@ECReeves]

Henrik van Walsum bro y’all are stupid. The questions are purposely asking question so that he can relate it to his new album NF isn’t good at interviews in a traditional way ( not a bad thing) but he didn’t take advantage of talking about the songs that the question she asked was meant to bring up

[@rahe2141]

She mentioned when he was around 21 and not 6. You just wanna hate on her

[@violence_6546]

Henrik van Walsum I feel like she did and said that just to feel like she made some point or smt

[@violence_6546]

Rahe alright but like- she was kinda rude we all have our opinion ig/ sorry

[@auxiliaryx3008]

I feel like NF and Twenty One Pilots have the same vibe when doing interviews.

[@deenaak5964]

I m a huge fan of both

[@Saintsfan980]

My two favorite bands!

[@pwersurge4672]

I like both

[@gravitytraining6516]

I like both and agree. Awkward chaotic energy where the interviewer has good intentions but can't understand unless they have had mental health issues

[@emyf9197]

For some reason I cant get into 21 pilots.. only liked heathens.. they have good lyrics but music itself easily sounds indie pop generic.. Idk I guess my way of being emotional is mostly anger/frustration and maybe why I prefer NF's dramatic cinematic sound of his raps/songs

[@RoninThaGod]

Man he makes me feel like im not the only one on how thought process goes into writing and the motivation part. Upsetting hearing her laugh when he said he wrote in the closet. I have been for years, something about be alone in a dark place with my thoughts is comforting, no judgment, makes us feel at home in a weird way. This dude is an inspiration!

[@hapetersen03]

i struggle with severe ocd too and im so grateful to have his music, makes me feel so heard

[@InkMyWholeBody247]

Nate, yes you’re music is different and that’s why we love it! we love your music because you speak about all the things we’re afraid to talk about but most of us deal with.

[@ralphjosephrjm326]

it's quite interesting how NF is so quiet when he does his interviews. I'd like to see him talk to this woman the way he does in his songs like the search or paid my dues.

[@jeannieboivin2849]

Haha yes!

[@jackghaderi377]

I just did an interview the guy was pretty clueless

[@notarobotto]

Hey, i know i'm 2 years late but if you want a good interview with NF "NF | In Conversation" by NME is really good

[@user-pm3un8gl5l]

I love it frfr!!!

[@BoredVetGarage]

Lol this guy lived 15 minutes from me. My estimator from my body shop went to school with him. My stepdaughter listens to his music. Usually music comes from Detroit in Michigan. It’s not in the middle of Michigan. I’m happy for this guy.

[@antnmu]

I've had OCD since I was 7, and I am 17 now. I didn't know until I was fourteen. I relate so much to him. I never feel good enough. I feel like I have to be better. It drives me, but it's unrealistic. Because then when I do not meet "perfection," it just feels even worse. I am 7 months behind in school right now due to my OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD. It is sooo soo hard. I feel like my future is ruined and there is no way to come back from this. I haven't felt happy for 3 years- or even more than that. I feel numb, and hopeless. It's good to see someone talking so openly about how difficult it is to deal with.

[@jahmoan69]

Such a cool dude ...my fave artist at the moment

[@lows372]

Love that he’s talking about ocd. Especially pure O with intrusive thoughts and obsessive rituals that aren’t physical in nature like washing hands or counting and locking doors over and over. He’s amazing for bringing light to this side of the mental health community ❤️ thank you Nf

[@MS-gs1eg]

always good to see the artist is as cool and legit as they sound in their music. Respect.

[@kimberlydavis8613]

NF I love you! I have the same OCD :( It is SO frustrating. You know it is irrational what we do, but our brain just convinces us to do it. It is a viscous cycle.

[@martingjini8478]

Ye fr people with ocd fr know what struggle is and how hard life is but the point is nobody understands us a 100%

[@earthbaby296]

Tbh his body language is screaming "I'm not comfortable" if you noticed he's keeping himself as far as possible from her maybe unintentionally but he's clearly uncomfortable. I guess that made her a little stressed and trying to laugh and make it less stressful for both. alot of hate towards her calm down people

[@not2day646]

He hates interviews no matter who 's doing it 😂

[@lowqualitywaffle8765]

I loved the wall analogy. As a person who struggles with these types of things, the bit about the wall fits well with what goes on in most people’s brains with OCD, or just people in general.

[@AnonOfficialMusic]

I feel that about if your not inspired man! Same here! Keep doing you man, love that your always keeping it REAL!!

[@purplerainDNA]

I feel like she is one of those people that only heard "Let you down" and that's why she be acting so weird

[@indiaramdial3991]

Nate and Bridget are so adorable 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@weirdhufflepuff2591]

IKR

[@lynlyn2099]

The first time I listened to NF I was struggling in the middle of an OCD loop that I didn’t bother telling anyone about and kept it to myself cause I was afraid of getting shamed for it. When I listened to NF’s songs it felt extremely relateble, then I knew it was because he got OCD too, and this made me kinda relieved, that there is someone going through the same thing I’m struggling with and he can express it with words in an artistic way, I wish he could know that his songs helped me when I was in my worst, and I’m grateful to him

[@orangemonkey0724]

9:57 I hate her I hate her so much How dare she laugh at that How dare she

[@aurora_1x]

The thing is that her laugh was soo loud. I mean of course it's funny for a sec but come on

[@Sariine436]

I was literally going to sleep in my closet once but my closet smells bad and I don't know why. I had to take my cloths out and I cleaned it and it still smells bad. It smells like old people in my closet.

[@cupcake9133]

Damn i love his music

[@thepogues222]

I can't relate much with his OCD or bad depression but when he mentions how he was still sad when having everything imaginable, I could relate. I felt the same way when I got to go on a beautiful trip to Italy yet I felt guilty for not feeling that happy about it.

[@Skullzrapper]

I feel the same way about my writing! Sometimes I spend weeks trying to write for something and get nowhere and then other times, i write my best song in 15 minutes! Creativity is a tightrope!

[@charitymitchell7174]

Dude your songs are inspiring and uplifting even if it doesn't seem like that at first. Just knowing someone successful feels sad too is inspiring to those who struggle with mental health. It makes us want to get up and go again, it makes us believe maybe we aren't just a big mess and maybe we can make something of our life and faith.
