playing project zomboid for the first time to simulate the stress of adulthood

[@gigi.z.]

“the older I get the less I know how to talk to other human beings” felt that 😰

[@pondurosa3792]

it gets better after 25 ..you get better at winging/faking it

[@jayhu2296]

as a fresh and lost college grad you’re like the bigger bro that I wished i had

[@introvertedmadness]

we gon make it homie

[@jilliankatriaa]

the combination of talking about life and project zomboid gameplay is amazing, please make more of these !! i’ve been searching for this kind of content but haven’t found any apart from this video :’)

[@sebastiansuarez9676]

Thanks for the free therapy sesh. I think the thing with highschool friends is that we have all now taken on different paths of life. It's been a year since I graduated from highschool and now we're all in different universities. I know they care for me and of course we're still in touch. On the other hand, people at uni are very nice and very smart and have various skills, so I find it hard making friends because I may not be as good as them. Maybe I'm not the person someone would ask for help or smth. Another reason to study hard lol. Take care.

[@introvertedmadness]

i know the feel dude, making friends in college is tough cuz everyone is so impressive it's kinda scary lmao, and (at least at my college) there's this big pressure to make friends. but i feel like it's not even worth worrying that much about , cuz that stuff tends to work itself out in the end. so yes, keep on studying lol. good luck at uni dude & have a great rest of your day :)

[@sebastiansuarez9676]

@@introvertedmadness Thanks dude, I'll try my best to survive this five years or so (yeah it's not your average four year career).

[@WhatIsThis-zq4hk]

The best thing I ever did to be happier is to stop trying so hard to be happy. It is a paradox. Think about it. If you desire happiness, that means you are unsatisfied with your unhappiness. But it is that dissatisfaction that is creating the unhappiness in the first place. If you become ok with being unhappy, then you are no longer unhappy being unhappy. You are happier. It is unintuitive but very real. In the past year I switched to just accepting that life is not always happy and I am just gonna embrace that life is hard and not try to change it. I picked up more jobs to cushion my finances and just accepted that life is hard. I think I'm happier than I've ever been in my adult life.

[@Nova3482]

Your videos are getting me through a really tough time as a college senior about to graduate and I just want to thank you for how your videos are the highlight of my week and alleviate my mood :))

[@introvertedmadness]

yay :)

[@raerae2964]

same

[@Pracabamda]

Just found your channel and I must say I love your contemplations on life in your early 20s. I'm already 29 but I deeply relate to many things you say.. makes reminisce on the struggle that was my early to mid twenties... Now that I'm knocking on 30, wisened and hardened by life, I feel like I'm on my way to the peace of mind I've always sought.. Wasn't easy, and I almost lost the battle on a few occasions. Anyways, looking forward to your future videos 💟

[@pancake_5703]

i dont know why but i love these kind of life talking vids, theyre comforting in a way

[@owez7113]

Just watched all through. Exactly what I needed thanks

[@TunaSandwiches724]

Just found your channel a couple weeks back and now you're playing my favorite game. Thank you for this. Gonna sample you in a mixtape someday.

[@introvertedmadness]

hell yeah

[@derek162454]

Love the change up and content diversity. Keep going! The journey has been beautiful to watch

[@introvertedmadness]

aye big appreciate the support homie :) we on this journey together in life on this big ol space rock lmao. thanks 4 sticking around and hope you have a wonderful rest of your day

[@indominusPIG]

I turned 19 last month and I'm terrified, have 0 clue of what to do, good to hear your words of experience 😊

[@introvertedmadness]

i feel like having 0 clue is lowkey a life hack. like you give no fucks and are so clueless that you just end up doing some cool shit that other people would say is too crazy to try. anywho good luck on ur journey dude & have an excellent rest of ur day :)

[@mikoaj8237]

Love your honesty and your chilled videos. I can 100% relate to what you are talking about. I am happy that I found this channel:)

[@snowballeffect7812]

Bro I LOVE project zomboid! I have been trying to find time with my friends to play again but we're all so stupid busy.

[@JTCollins]

Thank you for this video. Going into my sophomore year of college and a lot of this resonates with me. I have been so obsessed with progression and my own stuff that I have also kinda forgotten how to interact with people and it’s a weird thing to deal with. I thought I was alone on that front lol

[@TommasoMarena]

I love your channel. Please keep it up!

[@anhthumaaa]

I've binged your channel since the algorithm introduced it to me a week ago and I just got a whole boost of inspiration to start posting on KZbin. Bc yeah, my dream is to maybe make a career out of it. I even recorded a reflection of my personal friendships just now. Excited to publish it soon. Thanks for all that you do (:

[@introvertedmadness]

oh hell yeah mega hype!!!! that makes me very happy to hear, we need more art in the world :) if i have one piece of unsolicited advice, it's to just make videos that are fun for you to create, cuz if it's not fun, you're gonna stop posting lmao. good luck on ur youtube journey & have a fantastic rest of ur day!!!

[@owez7113]

Love your channel man :)

[@introvertedmadness]

love u dawg

[@swagistan69420]

I am 23 and working in a remote job but feel like that guy from office space. Just completely disillusioned with what my life has become and how I'm using my prime years sitting around for 8 hours a day doing something that doesn't fulfill me. As kids were pressured into stability and sacrificing our wants & desires to fit into the corporate mold. I want to actually do something with my life but I'm scared to venture out, especially in an economy like this where we are walking on a recessionary tight rope, ready to crash down

[@exaltedpeach5318]

honestly as a fellow twenty-something year old, i relate to pretty much everything you talked about (glad SOMEONE'S talking about these things so the rest of us aren't alone lol)

[@compatriot852]

Im suprised he lasted this long after punching multiple windows with his bare fists

[@introvertedmadness]

knuckles of steel baybee

[@D34DParadise]

I'm in my final weeks of university and I'm feeling super overwhelmed and sad. I've got my final year project which I haven't got much done and I have exams coming up. Your videos have been helping me get through this tough period. Hopefully I get things figured out in the end.

[@TheFatNooblet]

yeah life after college gets lonely as you grow away from your friends and your life becomes more centered around working. adulthood ends up being something where youre trying to figure out how to tolerate working a job that is probably not fulfilling but keeps your finances afloat while trying to find a balance in the very small extra time you have to maintain relationships or do things you like or really… live

[@ityog5594]

i genuinely love your videos!! i relate to them a lot, and i tried sending you a private dm about it lol. anyways thanks always for your videos! your videos are my new ways of getting a therapy

[@Oridux]

Now this is the content I subscribed for

[@emilyau8023]

Regretting the regret in your life that becomes regret that you start regretting that you regretted, and then you regret that you regretted regretting which is another regret that you later regret regretting cause you regretted.

[@Ignoramus117]

I'm very thankful I'm getting this advice now, before adulthood. Although I'm worried about life, It's comforting to know others feel this way and can talk about it.

[@AblazeMonkee]

i love these videos there so calming

[@BrandonD-qe5zw]

Thats facts bro i was be home in my house and sometimes i feel like i dont socialize enough and the friends part is so true bro like sometimes u be trying to motivate these people but they don’t wanna do something with there lifes but what can you do tbh

[@introvertedmadness]

glad u could relate dude :) yea i think something i realized is that literally the only person i can control is myself - you can try to convince/persuade/trick other people, but at the end of the day, they're gonna do what they're gonna do. i think that's why i've found its important to get a lot of my happiness/validation internally, instead of externally. anyway thanks for watching and commenting, hope u are doin gr8 and havin a chill day

[@Ranting4Rent]

Im 23 and recently graduated. As you can guess in CS. Knowing and understanding and implementing the fact I can just avoid and forget anyone I mess up in talking with is so important. I still get caught up in my head but I try my best to remember If I don't want to I don't have to see them ever again. Unless its work

[@brandonkirk9816]

One of the best channels of 2023.

[@Phuoc4566]

stumbled onto your channel, u are very cool. Im in similar position as you and i love the way u can talk about your life or topics of your choice. Also your channel feels very genuine. Pretty sure we couldve become friends if we ever met in a bar, but im from Germany. Wishing u the best

[@kaibuchan]

Shout out to all of us. Growing up together and figuring shit out. We got this. Go hard everyone.

[@143Plenty]

Therapy or counseling seems in order

[@lyliali]

Hey! I love your channel and your authenticity, thanks for posting these videos. I found you cause I moved to the Bay Area and realized it was a huge mistake and your vid about the Bay Area pretty much summed up everything i realized about it within the first few days. Stuck around for your humor and realness. Lastly I think it’s endearing that you love Taylor swift 😂❤

[@williamramey8052]

to open doors in zomboid press e also if you hover over your loot all that's where loot is in the game and use the mid mouse button to scroll and loot dont press q in the game you will find out why also haveing too much loot makes your atack speed bad also to atack the zomboids hold down right click and you will be in a isometric view those are my tips for the day lol hope you have fun playing zomboid also i recomend playing the tutorial i have played to much zomboid lol

[@jl6842]

Pz is a game where you have to play the tutorial, it's so unforgiving even if you do know what to do, but was that what he was going for, life being unforgiving and you not knowing what to do? 🤔

[@introvertedmadness]

as i was watching this over i was like damn how did i not figure out how to open a single door??? lmao thank you for the advice, will apply next time i play

[@aim-for-greatn3z947]

Unfortunately people online AREN'T real friends Unfortunately because they aren't there in person to fully provide support. As an introvert and 36 year old slightly successful 😅 Make sure your new friends resonate with you and have things in common. For example im a nerd and i play yugioh competitively so i meet people going to local tournaments first. Now for business world i meet friends/mentors by attending high end meeting and events until something happened because i had a very SPECIFIC goal in mind. But yes... you can make friends that will be there forever, regardless the situation.

[@laraaaaaa146]

as an introvert, yes.

[@moluvkbalalala8878]

THATS THE REASON FOR REINCARNATION ....

[@chakrasandwhich]

right click on the heart to heal yourself, "V" key for the car menu, press E in front of the car to get the car information. Don't fight a ton of zombies without a decent weapon + experience. Use sneak a lot to get past them, and lose them by going through houses o high fences. Also adulting is hard BLERGH

[@chiara6179]

I've been having a lot of the same thoughts and a book that has been helping me lately is Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood. It might be worth checking out for you as well? My one critique is it doesn't focus enough on relationships and building them rather than 'cutting people out'. A couple of substack newsletters I read just wrote about the isolation that making yourself 'perfect' and solving your inner problems before seeking out relationships can induce, and I have to agree with that critique of self help books like this as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this video!

[@Casshio]

My early twenties ended a couple of months ago. From my own experience, don't worry, it gets worse! Nah but for real. The entirety of your twenties, well I reached half of it but still that's what many said to me, seem to mostly serve to get some goddamn sense of orientation, to work through various issues and the damages you might've received earlier in life. And from what I can tell, that kind of never really ends since obviously life is complicated and likes to surprise you with new bullshit. Personal happenings aside, who knows what our generation will have to face on a global scale. The growing isolation, the crumbling economy, climate change, political developments and so on. Which makes that pressure, the feeling that the clock is ticking hard, not exactly any less noticeable. It's tough. But uhh... Life finds a way. We'll manage.

[@tropica9238]

I'm a junior in high school and am going through the process of visiting colleges and stuff. Every college i visit everybody seems super consumed in their work, and i know that this is like the whole point of college. I still cant help myself from freaking out because i know that ill have to exchange my social life for knowledge and idk if i can be that alone 😭

[@bloofzzz]

hey! hope you're doing well, I wonder if you remember me haha, I didn't even recognize you until watching one of your vids : ) seems like you've blown up here, wonder if you'd ever want to catch up sometime

[@mr.nobody1081]

Wish someone told me this when I was a kid, I became alegal adult and felt no different, figured it would click in my twenties so kept being a kid, now I am 39 and still feel no different than when i was 17 or 21, just more jaded. My advice: get shit done when young, after 30 your body starts giving up unless you dedicate waay to much time and money to upkeep.
