I am a perfectionist who prefers to think through things before doing them. More than doing something, this thinking stage takes more time. It helps me be well-prepared, but sometimes I'll get too afraid of doing things. Mostly new things. They scare me. I also understand and resonate with your point on authenticity. I feel it too. I usually think that if I genuinely don't have anything worthwhile to contribute into a conversation, there's no point in forcing myself to speak something. I respect authenticity a lot. To be honest, one of my favorite artists, Kendrick Lamar, is my favorite because of this same reason. He speaks when he really has something to say. So when he speaks there's more weight to it. People value it more. I appreciate your video! ✨Thank you!!!

As a perfectionist who always think of the bad consequences whenever I think I will fail or make a mistake I needed this. I don't need to overthink and over complicate things, I will try to do that as I learned overthinking is just as bad as underthinking. Omg I didn't know where I was going with this. I guess I'm still a perfectionist. Day 76: I tried drawing realistic clothes today and I'm OBSESSED, it's so fun yet so hard

There is such a good relationship between some people that they can communicate well without even saying anything. And they don't feel awkward. Just being in the moment without planning anything. Enjoying the moment. Feeling the quality of being. Authenticity? Peace of mind? Freedom? Today's video of yours led me to this thought. Indeed, not everything can be planned... And sometimes something unexpectedly valuable is born from it. Imperfect perfection... The best works of art are like this: as if unfinished and not fully expressed. But therein lies the value of their expression.

I have watched many of your videos, you are a great teacher. I am in the same place as you, and would like to hear your views on religion, because I am thinking very hard about Christianity, the emptiness of being is very troubling for me.

So this video caught my eye bc i never felt like I was a "Perfectionist" but maybe I am because when I am programming, cleaning my room, read, workout, etc, it seems like I need everything to be perfect before/during. for example: if i want to study i need to find the perfect spot in the cafe and decide what subjects i need to list what subject i am going to study in order etc. I also try to find "the best method" of programming/studying because im afraid of making mistakes. But in reality if i had just started, I will get more done. Its exhausting. And the worst part is that if I dont have the perfect conditions in place, I just give up for example i wanted to make a video about my day but one of the clips were filmed in vertical mode instead of horizontal, so i scrapped the whole thing and gave up. I find myself doing optimizing before even starting. which is stupid.

You do sound very authentic! Indeed, sometimes it is easy to get stuck in a mind loop to plan something, but often it is just easier if you just give it a try. I know someone who works as a mental health counselor here in America who grew up in Japan. She told me that mental health is not really emphasized in Japan and that the percentage of diagnosed psychological disorders is lower. Most likely there are probably many undiagnosed people who live their lives without learning how to help their anxiety. As part of my academic backgroud is in psychology, I may eventually do these kinds of short-form videos myself. I have always wanted to put together content for people (like me!) who struggle with depression, anxiety, autism, and ADHD. I'll get around to it soon!

I've been wondering if I have ADHD. I'd never thought about it up until recently, but the fact I've been kind of forgetful these days gets me thinking. How can you tell if one has ADHD when the degree is low? Looking forward to your content! I'm interested in ADHD and HSP.
@ladyoftheflowers978116 күн бұрын
@@NaoyafromJapan250 I have a few tried and true methods that can be used to determine if you may have ADHD. The easiest one: do you often lose items (especially small items like keys), much worse than the average person might? Also do you have an uncanny fatigue, especially in the morning? Low dopamine in the pre-frontal cortex can cause decreased activation. Persistent depression and generalized anxiety disorder may also cause attention issues. This is because an overactivation of the HPA axis and the persistent release of norepinephrine results in deficits of attention and memory. In fact, most psychiatrists often forget that one must also treat anxiety when managing ADHD. Do you mean the highly sensitive person? Ah yes. I have much to say about that too. Elaine Aron claims that HSP and Autism are not directly related, albeit I think she may be wrong. The double empathy problem seems to indicate that people with autism feel more intensely than others do... they are perceived to lack a theory of mind because they are unable to cope with this empathy. Still more research is needed here. There is not a huge amount of good content on psychiatry. Popular creators like Dr. K kind of make a mockery of modern psychiatry and he has received censure from the his licensing board due to providing "therapy" despite not being licensed in a field to practice it.
