Hey Doc, If it's ever possible, or you get the time to consider, could you please try to get your interactions into podcast form. I'm always so intrigued by your point of view and would love to have you in my ears on the go. If it helps, I have an audio engineering background and would be able to do all the work for you as a donation for the work you do for us as viewers. I seruously appreciate you Dr. K

[@panicsprey4403]

Doc I'm listening to this in the background and I want to give my input. When trying to focus on something for me I notice that if I have 90% attention in one place the 10% can steal the focus. So what you mention is very true.

Damn this isn't xQc... It's Felix edit: To clarify: I don't think he puts on a persona but I do think that when he streams he is very focused on trying to do everything at once, read chat, play the game, react to dono's and it can end up being very chaotic. I also think the reason he sometimes trys to talk so fast on stream that nobody can understand him is that as he said im this interview he hates wasting people's time so he wants to get his thoughts out as quickly as possible and constantly wants to deliver content and entertainment. But here in this interview we see a very different side of him, he talks slow and collected, takes time to think how he wants to word stuff, he really listens to what Dr. K says and trys his best to give a good answer that Dr. K can work with etc. I honestly think this is the first time I have seen him like this. That's why I commented that. It feels like what we see here is not xQc with 50k viewers trying to make everyone happy, and do everything at once as fast and efficient as possible... this is just Felix having a relaxed conversation with Dr. K and I think it's really cool to see.

People forget streamers can put on fronts just as much as anyone else in the world. People get so used to the persona they put on that they forget when they’re off camera they go through the same things we all go through.

[@Tom-101]

@@TheGamingMusketeer Damn man, I love Etika a lot and think about him all the time. His tragic end is one of the things that led me to discover xQc in the first place, as I feel they have a similar vibe of being super hyped at times and heartfelt at others which I haven't been able to find anywhere else. Not saying Felix is anywhere close to going in Desmond's direction, but it still makes me feel a bit better that he's talked to Dr. K at least once in order to understand what he's going through better. It's a shame that Dr. K wasn't around before Etika started on his downwards descent, but in the end you need to want to be helped in order to be helped and he refused it, evenly actively opposed it at every opportunity.

@@lion-o848 that's mainly due to his streams being different from other streamers. Compared to other streamers and their communities, they're far from being close to what xqc had built. Yes, xqc and his community is mainly shitposting, that had given him success; however, that shitposting is mainly coming form xqc. Xqc allows for that as his personality to also show. That's the same reason to why other streamers have the joy emote on their channel aswell such as: Greek, Pokimane, Forsen, etc... And for other streamers like Mizkif to make fun of xqc and his community. To make fun of what he's doing that's giving him success. Sure, all the shit donations that come from his viewers and the chaotic behavior of xqc himself makes themselves seem like trash. But that's what go him to be among the top streamers on the platform. He's viewers are there everyday for him. The only reason he get's this dislike of him is from the youtube videos and top lsf clips of him, but thats only a fraction of who he truly is. I've known about him since 2018 for a winston play and only been watching him since the beginning of October of 2019 so you can call me a new frog. However, i've stayed to watch his streams longer than any other stream on the platform. The only times i've watched other streamers is when he's offline or banned. He's consistent with the work that's able to make his viewers stay for him. I watch until the end of every stream to enjoy my stay.

I'm an illustrator and I used to feel that my stuff isn't great, even though everybody around me - friends, family but also strangers - told me my work was great. It got a lot better once I started freelancing because I could use the fact that people were willing to pay me as empirical evidence against my own low estimates. Even later, I started "tricking myself" by creating an imaginary scale on which I'd rate my own artwork, but add an extra 2 to 3 points if I couldn't tell what I found wrong with the piece. Essentially, I started "correcting" my own estimates based on the knowledge I had about myself being way too harsh. Really reduced the amount of validation I need and also how I view it. I actually accept it now as "data to feed into my scale". It's really weird talking about it, but it somehow works.

I believe from the way he makes statements about not "deserving" others views. He had a strange relationship with authority in youth, maybe that is too "scripted", but he clearly does see others as more accomplished, and truly does not like that people like him, because he is unsure how to love himself, and may even become violent when he is doing bad at videogames because it is so deeply/subconsciously rooted that other people are better than him for some reason. He has actual mental triggers when he loses. He has an addiction to his ego, but may be an emotional person. His being says, get off the camera, work on that man, If he does other things that don't have people watching and that won't feed his ego he feels his ego has a problem attaching itself to the flow of his affairs later on. When he mentioned that he does not feel he is interesting it felt to me that was a tell tale giveaway that he was neglected as a child. I felt the same way as I was growing up, and looking at my life in retrospect I have imbalances that played hand in and with my neglect of attention in childhood. This is a community of people (mainly young) that put themselves out there so people will see them... That is the mindset of a lonely boy or girl who grows up and feels the pressure of being seen, because an authority figure never gave them the time of day. I think that that is one big causal link that streamers/youtubers have as far as mental well being goes. It is young people who constantly seek attention. Do you think that if their parents taught them value and raised them understanding that they deserve to be happy without other people saying so. that they would constantly seek attention or be chasing clout or making asses of themself? I would hope not... These are a generation of sad people who want to share their smiles with people and be the best so they don't feel hurt or emptiness. They are then confused about why their great success is so confusing day to day, when truly their desires come, typically, from a very innocent place.

[@lunatic2178]

I'd like to think that childhood trauma affects ppl differently, maybe it wasnt his parents that neglected maybe it was his friends or some ppl he looked up to. I've had a couple friends open up to me about abuse and being neglected by their parents. I had a friend that told me that his parents were always on the road and they never gave him attention even when they were home. He would slap my neck sometimes when I'd be on my phone and do ridiculous things to get other ppls attention, even in the middle of class. And theres also in the case of me and my other friend who was abused the same way I was abused and while he became more shy I became an asshole and started to not to be as nice as i should've been which also made me more of a bold person

[@Lagger-HD]

@@lunatic2178I relate with that story fairly well, but my friends parent's were there, just ass holes.I wrote this comment 20 minutes in, but then continued to skip around in the interview and listen to sections, and over an hour in the doctor and Felix come the conclusion that it is most likely tied to his lack of intrinsic value, due to the conditional love his father gave him, and the fact that his family never accepted his accomplishments. He has a subconscious rooting that if he isn't on the rise and winning repeatedly, it means he really isn't successful and then he feels inadequate and gets upset, because his worth is tied to proving himself to his father instead of realizing that value comes from within.

[@SETHthegodofchaos]

I think it goes more in the same idea and direction of "not wasting other peoples time". There is already some sense of self-devalueing going on that he might not be interesting on his own, thus wasting peoples time with stuff they already know. But Dr. K summed it up quite well. Besides emotions and reactions of each individual, we can understand the concepts but people are still different and exploring that might lead to new, more subtle concepts.

As someone who has gone through that cycle of negative self talk for years, it is a very weird feeling when that light bulb clicks on in your head and it hits you that you were the only person who viewed yourself in that negative aspect. It takes awhile, with a lot of therapy of course, also in my case a few rehab (booze) stays, and staying sober for months consecutively to have a clear head to realize "wait, everyone in my life doesn't view me as a piece unworthy garbo? they love me and care for my well being?!" It is liberating coming to the understanding that you have no control over what others think of you. "I think of myself this way so others have to as well." Being able to question and look for proof in those moments your brain engages in negative self talk is a great habit to practice to counter those instances. After months of doing it, it becomes second nature and in turn you start to notice you are viewing yourself in a positive light without even realizing it!

Tetris syndrome sounds like what I thought was ADHD hyperfocus. So where the ADHD persons focus is stuck on an activity (Hyperfocus) and then they tear themselves away from that activity for whatever reason, but their focus remains stuck on that activity. The name ADHD is a misnomer, people with it don't have an attention deficit, they just have almost no control over their attention - I think this is often pointed out to parents who ask why their apparently ADHD child can focus on video games. Before i was medicated i used to get this hyperfocus problem with video games but i'd also get it for stuff like work, even shit like social interactions (So a conversation you're worried about having goes on an infinite loop in your head, where you try saying different things to them and work out which reaction you want to try and get from them). I remember being sat in the pub one day with some friends, they kept asking if i was okay because i wasnt myself, couldnt focus on the present, and I stopped to reflect and realised half of my brain was rearranging equations from this part of my dissertation I was stuck on still. That one stood out to me because it wasn't something I enjoyed, it was so weird and pointless (like I'd gone to the pub with my friends because I was on top of it and needed a break) and so clearly not at all in my control. I think it's similar to when you dream about practising something from your day to day life, it's as if half your brain is asleep and is stuck practising the same thing over and over. You wake up exhausted, but oddly are actually a lot better at it the next time you go to do it. I really think he should look into ADHD. I wonder if thats what he wanted Dr to suggest when he brought this up. When you're undiagnosed you know that you're different for some reason and you want to fix it. I think it's a hierarchy of needs thing. There's no point trying to clean your thought patterns when you know that your brain isn't working like a normal persons but don't understand why or know how to help it.

[@crankycal_]

this is a really nicely put thought! (sorry for random reply btw, i'm rewatching this video because i got it in my recommended) also, as i was reading, i started relating the unintentional rearranging of equations at the pub to me dreaming about things i was thinking about a lot that day... only to find in the next paragraph u said that and put it perfectly haha
