@@shadowgod1009 Yeah you are 100% right and in all seriousness I do understand that teachers want students to use reputable and well known sources as some will not be able to tell fact from fabrication. However, I do believe that there are some real gems on youtube and the internet, such as 3blue1brown, professor dave explains, and crashcourse. This is not to mention all of the other online resources that can be found like, cliched as it it, brilliant and khan academy. I guess in a way I just find it a shame that school makes learning a chore, when it should be a wonderful and exciting experience. School teaches us to be perfect and get everything right because you need to do well on the exam, when this is the opposite of how learning works. You have to learn by making mistakes and then understanding why the initial assumptions leading to those mistakes were wrong. This takes time though and schools don't have time to spare so instead we get told to memorise things rather than actually understand them, and in that way I feel that school isn't a place where students hone their problem solving skills or critical thinking, but rather a place where we push our memories to the limit. And the process of memorising facts and figures is laborious, so no wonder students hate learning.

fr it seems like everyone was just happy and living. and it felt like everyone was connected. in this day in age it feels like everyone is splitting up and branching out. like i remember in 2010's i remember sleep overs at peoples houses. watching madagascar or something. seeing a lot of people. people that i don't even know anymore and don't even know if they're still alive. christmas in the 2010's was always a highlight. maybe as a kid you're not as exposed to how the world really is. ignorance is bliss so when you grow up and see things as they really are the magic goes away and you're just living like everyone else is. there's no more waking up in the morning to see what santa left for you under the tree because there is no santa. it becomes less magical. living right now i'm not gonna say it's terrible but i do feel more alone than ever. i don't see as much people as i used to. and i wish sometimes i could just go back to being a kid when it was simple and fun.

I’m 23, and for all you teens out there, I have one piece of advice. When you go somewhere for a few days that you know is gonna be one of the best things you’ll do for a while, (for example, for me, it was a school football tour with my mates, and a trip to Germany with my best friends), listen to 4 or 5 songs only, whenever you have the time in that trip. They don’t have to be songs that u love, and u can do other things while you’re listening. What that did for me was, whenever I listened to those songs in the future, I had such nostalgia. Please, just try it.

[@aarontan2197]

I love nostalgia. For me, it's an undescribable feeling that gives me warmth.

[@tomclanys]

In my case, the nostalgia robs me of living my current life. I'm stuck replaying my life until I ended high school, before I lost my home, before mental problems, before losing all friends I had. It's not so much that I don't remember how terrible things also were back then, but I remember how I lived to my fullest, even with depression I was going to the forest, exploring abandoned places, driving a bicycle around the city, having people to hang out, having passion and ambition to change the world... Then the adult life hit and showed me how much I was wrong, how the world is just broken and you can no longer be the teenager in your mind. I miss my old self, even though I was toxic and sometimes crazy. The mental problems - they came from the realization of how nothing I thought about my future was coming true. I'm apathic, I don't have any desires, I don't even have the strength to learn and do hobbies. My whole life right now is just seeing my girlfriend, sleeping, going to college and working when there is a task to do to earn some money. I don't have any plans or ideas about my future, I don't know what to do with myself. Even my girlfriend told me it's hurting her that I don't have any plans for summer with her. I have a lot of abilities, I'm smart, yet I never found a good job for myself, my town doesn't have any offers for me other than physical jobs, yet with college I don't have time to work, at the same time I don't have courage to move away anywhere else. I'm afraid of the next year, of what will come. I don't want to spend my whole life just working to have enough money for bills. I don't live in the US, I live in Poland, if you wished to write a suggestion/hint. Sorry for the long message, and probably nobody really cares about this, don't take this as a cry for help. It's my means of defining nostalgia - inability to live today because of how much I miss the old times, school days in this example. If only time travel ever existed, I would just go back to watch my dead relatives once again, even if I can't talk with them or interact, I just want to see my past life again and maybe finally move on. Nostalgia is the curse of being a sentient being.

[@danielschouteeten9421]

I think I can understand a bit of what you feel. If I have it correctly you mean that at some point you've just stop living life without a second thought, figuratively speaking, and life becomes...different. What exactly happened when you say adult life hit? Could you tell me that? And was it something specific?

[@tomclanys]

@@danielschouteeten9421 You got it right I think. Mostly it was the last year of high school, when I was about to have the matura ("maturity"/finals) exam. I started panicking about it, about having to work, about not having any plans for life, about how I'm going to be broke. Well - I accepted some of it and I live with my family, being broke most of the time. I had huge ambitions and ideas, I was constantly wanting to build things, but never had funds to buy materials and tools. Now even if I do have some of the tools, I don't have the time or self-esteem to actually do things. I went to study mechanical engineering to be able to create such things, yet it only showed me how unfair, full of cheating the college is, how I won't earn any more money with a degree than without it and how I still have no idea what to do after I finish the degree. I know I can do anything in life, I'm just actually too scared to do so. Scared of not knowing what to do next, and because of that scared of wasting my whole life. I'm not religious, I wish reincarnation was real, but I believe this is my only time to exist and I've already lost about a quarter to a third of it...

Nostalgia is like a movie. Our past selves are the directors, who cut out all the bad moments while we are the viewers, the ones who are unaware of the cut outs and only know the good every time we rewatch that movie inspired by something i saw on quora once dont remember where

[@andrewgilbert6614]

Is there a word for future nostalgia. Or is it just daydreaming, anticipation?

[@thisismyusername281]

Here's the thing. I constantly have the thought that I did something in the past wrong, which I then blame on some of the things that happen to me today. Its confusing but I wish I could go back and possible change that memory and what I did.

[@ShrekBricks]

I’m sad suddenly over the most random things, like an airport or a toy, and my favorite tv shows and movies

[@briancooper2833]

Memory is like blubber, serving as an internal food source and a protective shield.

I always look forward to your videos, I love watching them late at night because they make me question myself.

[@cyancoyote7366]

A few years back, I had an acid trip that I think saved my life. It was what I could describe as the most powerful feeling of nostalgia that I have ever experienced that lasted 12 hours. It put my current life and the present into perspective while removing all the negativity I have built up until that point. It was a beautiful and life changing experience, and I honestly don't think I'd be here now without it. I am thankful to the person who gave it to me, and was reminded of it by this video.

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

There is nothing bad about loving the great times you had in your life. Nostalgia gives us a sense of direction in life It shows us the places and the way we want to be Without nostalgia we are lost in time and space

[@eltafalla7436]

4:48 is I am currently experiencing, and the cycle of thought really sucks. Like "hey man I know I regretted so please get this loop out of my head"

[@Wille005]

your videos feels like a good dream you can’t remember

[@ShazamHax]

This video finally let me get out the emotions that I had bottled up about my breakup, bro you are a life saver! Your videos are amazing and I hope you have a good life, man. From the bottom of my heart.

[@michaelm.6660]

whenever I become stressed or feeling anything, I just listen to his voice and instantly relax.

[@DHammerr]

First of all, i find nostalgia better than SEX. Second, you ALL are eternal infinite beings who will be able to relieve the nostalgic experiences from the past as much as you want in the afterlife. It is beyond any earthly understanding of ecstasy there. Read about near death experiences, it is a fascinating topic. You will have access to any memories you desire. In the words of a near death experiencer, the afterlife is "whatever makes your soul happy and glad".

[@jayjords]

Some of us have such a dark past that the only way we can live for is the potential our future's can hold

[@bethanyblevins5460]

Bruh same I ain’t tryna remember the past or go back to it

[@istroberrymuch3043]

I agree with this so much.

This video makes me even more sad lol. So many things that can't be done anymore so no way to get rid of these "negative feelings"

3/14/2024 and im nostalgic for that lockdown year... i miss it so much

[@joyalpatel9104]

You know what they say, Nostalgia is a seductive liar.

[@bigbay1159]

Very true but many people apparently don't know that. Or maybe nostalgia is so good at lying it convinces people it's the truth...

[@Livedukk]

YOUr VIDEOS ARE FUCKING AMAZING PLEASE NEVER STOP. YOUR VOICE, THE VISUALS, THE NARRATION. ITS ALL SO WELL DONE. I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO BLOW UP ALL OVER AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥

[@ZDNR2]

Some things that cause nostalgia is moving,losing a loved one/friend,growing up,going back to a video game and thinking of all the fun times you’ve had

[@zramsey11]

I absolutely love the cyan and orange color scheme going on in this video. The color scheme really adds a lot of artistic value to this video. Good job on making the video on nostalgia mildly nostalgic. You’ve done well.

[@TannerBraungardt]

One day, even the internet will make us feel nostalgic They’ll say “gosh, I wish I had experienced that” (And I’ll tell them that they really don’t want that unless they like pain and people gettting offended at the smallest possible details they can)

[@taqoe6430]

when people will miss the internet you won't be alive pal. also bro you're just showing the bad parts the internet is amazing

This is my first time seeing your channel and I instantly subbed. Im only 13 so I havent ever experienced nostolgia but you still had my complete attention by the first word. Your such a great explainer!

[@bigbay1159]

You can feel nostalgia at any time, you simply have to have a fond memory in which you feel a longing.

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

I miss the people who were alive, that’s what I noticed about nostalgia, I love nostalgia because it feels like they are still there just for a little bit.

Smells... for some odd reason they trigger always the strongest nostalgic episodes for me.

Sense of smell is proven to be the most linked to memory :)

[@splashykoy11]

If there was a year I could go back to, it would definitely be 2017. It may not seem like that long ago for some people, but it was long enough ago that it’s nostalgic. I remember back then I played Roblox so much. I was obsessed with Roblox games such as Nuclear Plant Tycoon, Tix Factory Tycoon, and Light Bulb. I have so many memories of these games. We all wish we could go back, right?

[@acetown2263]

What I find most intriguing are games that make you feel nostalgic about places you’ve visited a long, long time ago, using the games music or maps.
