Thank you

You said it!

Great video! I felt the same when I posted regularly on ig (wouldn’t call myself an influencer, but had a few k). I quit for the same reason!

So true.

It’s just not worth going back to

xDDDD

I started gratitude journaling every night since July 2 2023. Deleted personal social media on the sane day. I am more content. I still have 65 days to go, but really loving it.

I almost have 10K and I’m so close to deleting my page. It’s just not fun anymore I’m always chasing the trends and algorithm and loosing myself through it all. I’m tired of video taping and feeling the need to always be “on” and photos 24/7 for “b roll” it’s just… tooooo much.

There seems to be this trend about ego death, but it really doesn’t make any sense, unless people are misusing the term Ego , because to lack an ego is to lack identity which would just make a person a narcissist the very thing, they are so called trying to not be with this so-called ego death. The problem is never the ego and only people with false egos would say that to remove your identity, the problem is the ID the ego is there to regulate the ID and the Superego which are the real problems and cause of most of our cognitive dissonance. The id are where our instincts and impulses are which is sometimes called the devil on the shoulders, if anything this would be the source of our childish cruelty, self-centeredness and selfishness come from, while the ego is there to correct those habits , where as another monster but called the angel on the shoulders could also be a part of the problem which is the super ego which is there to tell us everything we are doing wrong and not living up to , its based on our parents elder and society and there expectations (it can be a form of anti-conscience) The super ego can be like a god finger pointing down on us, telling us how we are not matching up to or doing enough this can lead to a lot of distress and narcissism, even psychopathy, paranoia and even schizophrenia. Which again our egos is there to regulate So without the ego we will just be left with the id and the superego which make us completely bipolar with no middle ground for self-regulate where we couldn’t tell the difference between our impish desires or godly dogma which would present the most distorted dualistic false self which could lead to all types of behaviors dangers for self and others

Thank you for this insight, from one professional influencer wanting to gtfo.

I really needed this video! I definitely felt the ego death aspect

Such a good channel :o You deserve more attention :D

Thank you for explaining this so well

This is really good thank you. I wish you had spoken more slowly though as a lot of information

Although your analysis of the negative impact of "christo-capitalism" and modern self-help culture is very sobering, I felt hopeful towards the end of the video. Thank you for that refreshing perspective on such a somber topic.

11:33 is such a helpful list of prompts. Brb journaling lol

I also love your point towards the end that when we put romantic love on a pedestal, we automatically dismiss non-romantic soulmates and de-prioritize them, which in turn deprives us of such a deep love!

I would love to see a video of how you progressed so far on your self-healing journey without a therapist. I think this could be very useful for a lot of people who can't afford it or don't want to see a therapist for a variety of reasons.

Great video Good luck Matt🌟

you can not always be happy, happiness is a state of mind. Fulfillment and purpose is a goal that these guys are looking for. Success is a purpose that a lot of men seek, so there’s no reason to to think it’s some sort of trap. It’s to light a fire that is inside a lot of us, people can get there by themselves but someone to mentor and guide us along the path that they have walked will save them not only time, but can give them a purpose to pass it on and help others. There’s also another thing that i would want to mention and that is the fact that when people who are successful have reached a certain point where they do not seek the need to become successful anymore they lend a hand to the next guy walking that path.

I find the self help industry has become predatory as it preys off people's insecurities. very important video and well said

Deleting social media apps was one of the best things that I did for myself in this day and age for all the reasons you mention. It was actually so much easier than I thought!

I never thought about time that way.. nor about the problem of "feeling behind."

Hi, Matt, I love your video!!!

This video found me literally at the right time, I had to subscribe immediately. Such a strong video and well explained, thank you!! Going to further watch your other videos. Have a beautiful day!

Extremely helpful and validating ❤️

Thanku so much for sharing 🇮🇳❤️💕 Richa 💕🇮🇳

such a great perspective shift! just need to remember next time I feel something

love your videos Matt! Top notch quality.

"We reduce the person to a set of checklists" Matt I love this ❤ truly I've felt very similarly, it's as if a modern relationship is simply a status update or an accolade

The relationship advice we all need to hear! ❤

the second point, wow. I haven't heard anyone been so real with this yet. I agree, we really don't need to be in relationships just for others to feel comfortable, great point.

<3

Maybe it’s time I try a little social media hiatus as well

deleting social media was the best thing I did for myself, really takes away so much of our time

I need this kind of videos so bad 😭 I've felt behind and different almost my whole life (discovered at 32 that I have ADHD, MIGHT have played a role 😅) I've now embraced the fact that I don't seem destined to a "conventional life/ timeline", but not following anyone's track feels scary and lonely sometimes. The need to compare to others is so strong, and even when you're not, there's always someone to point out the fact that you're an "outsider" and awaken some anxieties

You remind me of the "oracle" from the matrix

You’re a gem! I watch videos on YT but don’t engage (it’s a digital footprint thing) but omg I HAD to break out of my norm to like, comment, and subscribe! Not only do I dig your take and suggestions (especially the physics, psychology, and sociological tie ins) but I loved the YOU that was presenting these ideas. My favorite part: the bonfire, “Married by 28? Burning! Have a stable career by 30? Burning! Have a house by 35? Burning!” Awwww yisss, some girls just wanna watch the world burn 😈 🔥 🔥🔥🤘💪 You’re fabulous! Gonna go watch more of your vids now :)

I just stumbled upon this video in a Saturday morning (now) and I found it eye-opening. Thank you so much, from Tokyo, Japan.

staying in your lane vibes 💫 thanks Matt

not comparing is always difficult, but having perspective on time is very helpful. thank you

What internal timeline are you moving on from?

One month in, and I've failed already, lol. Thanks for the advice. Now I can change the way I approach change 😆

This is something I was struggling with. I read about hsp, and I immediately felt validated. I always had to suppress my own sensitivity because of judgment from my family. Now, I know that, yes, I'm more sensitive to different stimuli and feel things more deeply, but I've come to understand that I need better boundaries with my empathy. I've actively chosen the well-being of everyone around me over my own. It all comes down to Self-awareness, and realizing when you're defaulting to pleasing others and looking out for them rather than being in tune with our own self and our state at any given moment. Presence and understanding of yourself go a long way.

Well, thank you !

It's that thing "aim the journey, not the goal", like how can we appreciate and enjoy the goal if we dont get delighted in the process?? I must say, I am still at school, and actually my tasks are exciting when I am doing them. I released that pressure I had for grades and now I try to focus on knowing, truly learning. When I am preparing for seminars, I enjoy researching and finding deeper and deeper information. Also, in weekends I wonder "what will I do"? Or what do I want to do, and sometimes I think about so many things. Trusting that whatever action I will take iis the best for me has been so helpful!! I take a book, read and then follow the process of what comes to surface about that theme. It's really amazing. If there's something to set is to do that which makes you even more alive! And not something that we must get. We've been so conditioned to set goals about abilities that we need to have in order to fulfill life's expectations that we forget to book a class that we love, or an activity that we truly enjoy:(
