I don't have any social media on my phone but used to have multiple meme accounts, now when I see people in public just doom scrolling through brainrot I genuinely am weirded out in a way I can't describe without feeling like I'm being rude
the art style did remind me of the adventure time style but specifically when its the episodes that rebecca sugar storyboarded (longer dot eyes, eyebags, lower mouth, more emotional)
My favorite part about this is how it captures the feeling of isolation in the real world. It's not just saying "phone bad", it's also showing the other side of that coin. Part of the reason that endlessly scrolling on our phones feels so appealing is because the physical world has become isolating, we don't have communities or third spaces anymore. I know the exact feeling of breaking away from your screens, looking out your window and realizing the world around you has been turned into an isolating mechanical husk only accessible by car and requiring money at every turn. Loitering laws keep us from being allowed to just exist in public. And so you go back to scrolling, because at least in the digital world we still have communication with others...
Exactly,i am just 17, I won't know how it works for the money part, but mainly i hardly see a point to communicate outside the world, because there's no one, there are people, i have friends but they too immersed and consumed in internet, i look down my window and crave to go downstairs n have that experiences like in the past but i sigh knowing I can't acknowledge anybody for the same, sad enough no one is there to accompany me , and the top of it is i have social anxiety and this leaded to the extent that i have anxiety with my most friends too. Thus i go up to my mom's phone and scroll it like a dead person. Recently got my own personal phone and i am excited for the vulnerability that i won't just feel isolated
1) Money isn't as much of a prohibitive issue as you make it out to be. There are tons of cheap hobby clubs you could try, most things that cost money have affordable trial version, and if you find one or two things you want to do every week, you can probably find a way to fund it for yourself. My girlfriend has made hardly any money for like a decade and she still constantly goes to the cinema, sports clubs, into nature, free classes, etc. etc. You just have to let go of the need for everything you do to "amount to something, and you'll find that when you live life in the moment like that, you end up being crazily and productive in the long run anyway. Because staying active gives you more energy to do and enjoy more productive things overall. 2) Loneliness isn't as difficult to overcome as you present it. Most of the time when we feel isolated it's because we keep chasing "deep" friendships or validating dates, hookups, or romantic relationships. But those things obviously can't be forced, so if you don't have them and you're suffering from loneliness, you need to go into it with much more basic expectations to move forward. Meet people who need help with projects. Offer volunteer work or social coaching. 2.1.) Go on dates, but view them as fun ways to spend the evening instead of being disappointed every time you haven't found your soulmate or someone who wants to be naked with you. Crucially, learn to accept rejection by realising that most of the people who turn you down are probably interested in spending their time in ways that you wouldn't enjoy either. Or their personality just doesn't actually match yours as much as you're telling yourself. That's very often why the chemistry is off for them, and you're just not realising it because you just desperately finally want "a good catch" to show off.
This is outstanding. Really captures what it’s like to be lonely and turn to your phone for a distraction, just to find yourself caught in the endless stream of content on it that demands your attention. You especially nailed that feeling of being unable to break away no matter how toxic and self-destructive it feels when you keep scrolling, trapped in an overwhelming but addictive habit you resent. That was what resonated with me most. Awesome work!
I wonder when those in tech will realize what evil has been done and whether to reign it in. That or nobody wanted it everyone was making too much money.
I'm in tech (soft dev). If you have an idea of how to combat this or make a difference, I would 100%. I've been thinking how to do this for a good while now :(
@@nickcollier-webb3327 Long attention span and connections to people. Not toxic ones. The problem in any sphere is detachment of profit seeking with long-term consequences for mental and physical health of people.
@@SilvesterBoots that sounds great. But how to achieve this in an app that is healthier than the current dopamine-manipulative giants, such as shorts etc but also mindless scrolling apps, such as TH-cam, X, FB etc. They're a bit too big to fail at this point.

@@WRAAEEEit's not wrong to ask if things could have been different, if things could have been better. There has been almost 100 years since that bomb and so many more terrible things keep happening in the name of progress.
@@WRAAEEE If you expect people today, who have to waste their lives away droning at office jobs to produce profit for private capital owners; are saddled with unpayable debts for things that were free or affordable to their parents; face societal breakdowns, alienation and cultural promotion of hyperindividualism and permanent competition with others; struggle through accelerated and globalised economic crashes, increasing threats of massive (including nuclear) wars and impending climate collapse caused by capitalist industry, to experience all that and then go "well, nuclear war was a threat in 1963, so I guess I have all the reasons to be happy", that may be a problem of you.
i don’t think we were made for this either. for immediate stimulation from our devices, or to be cut off from nature and surrounded by industrial buildings. this is so sad, but so true. i absolutely love how you guys capture such serious issues with simple animation!! :)
The Brutalism buildings + the trees and parks in Zagreb always bring me back to reality, along with the beautiful view of Sljeme. However, if I truly want a break, Sljeme is a beautiful mountain, more of a hill shall I say, snowboarding is an experience to remember, but also the nature, the wind gushing over the trees, and the cold breeze and the fresh air. Go hiking or snowboarding /sking there and you will fully focus on that and nothing else. Beautiful. Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷 Stay safe, keep care.
@@bloothechronosapien4288yes, and also it shortens our attention span... I'm actually worried about the next few generations when almost every kids attention span is getting more and more destroyed...
There's a deep dissatisfaction I get from looking to the internet for a break after being tired emotionally, only to come out of it feeling dazed and unmotivated. It's like checking out of existence for a short while. This captivates that sort of feeling really well. Your work blows my mind, your use of perspective and colors really just lays a thick mood on for the viewer, it's extraordinary what you've accomplished :]
I usually just listen to music. Make a playlist of good things like Ambience music, meditation , pets videos or something wholesome. You can click on the video as "not interested" so TH-cam won't recommend you that again.
Nice animation, I'm sure it resonates with a lot of people, it certainly does with me. How social media preys on you, and even though you can lay there scrolling through it for ages, feeling unfulfilled and numb, you can't bring yourself to break away from it. Even when you do, there's this horrible sensation that you have to come back to it, it's a horrible experience. It's also weird hearing OFF music in non-OFF related content but it felt right, even the cityscape reminded me of some of the settings from it.
Could try going camping/whatever in a remote location without cell service. I do a fair bit of camping in different/new places and never really know if I'll have signal til I get there. When I don't, cut off from the world, it's fine/peaceful.
I can never leave it now. I have tinnitus so listening to something is just something I will have to live with. Or else I’m stuck with a constant non stimulating sound that is 10x worse.
The TikTok and TH-cam shorts format made it a lot worse for me, I can be like “okay last one” and then scroll to the next one without even thinking and then I forget I was supposed to get off because a of a video, I’m just trying to stay off shorts as much as possible now
Always make sure to go outside. It seriously makes you feel so much better. It's where we're meant to be. There's something about a good walk in nature that feels so good and relieving. Like a break from the chaotic world of electronics. It's so important too to realize that all this stuff is on your little device, in your little home, in a big world. Even when you're just walking away from your house, you can just see just how tiny the space you were in really was. It's a big world out there, so go explore it!
@@HobbNoblin pretty selfish and narcissistic of you to think you're so central in the world/people's lives that they all have time to hate you. I mean that in a trying-to-be-helpful way. People simply don't have the time/energy to all hate you like you think. Indifferent, maybe. but you're certainly not going to make anything better by moping about it. get angry and get defiant. start to hate your predicament so much that you're forced to change it. Hate the idea of being a bad person until you're being nice to others out of spite for the bad side of you. it works.
@@toonymoony16yeah this advice is so depressing when you live in a concrete hell. There is no nature. There's just cars and buildings and ads and garbage and other unhappy humans.
I like that’s it’s more than just social media. It’s the fact that she’s lonely, living in an apartment that’s like a closet, building is beat up, sleeping on a floor mattress, clothes on the floor etc. Only peace she gets is the silence paired with industrial noise & one small window, that just looks out to a never ending metropolis. You can see nature out in the distance. It’s close yet so far, you succumb to the seeming convenience of your phone once more
The author herself contributes to the problem: she's portraying "10 reasons to hate women" and a female victim while in the real world the media is waging war on masculinity (which is a cause of men putting up with this distopyan system in the first place).
i just went out for the first time in a while. went by myself to the library. the world was just so genuinely beautiful. i dont get out, i dont have anyone i know IRL and its impossible for me to go out by self. Going out made me realize how beautiful it is outside like, how genuinely beautiful the plants and the sky and the clouds are. It rained and it was like everything belonged and was at peace. I'm chronically online because i've got nothing else, I'm not in school and I've not got a job. I have no one I know IRL and I'm very socially anxious. Sometimes I'll get so in my head about the world from my phone or video games or the news, and when I go outside I realize that the outside is so beautiful and theres so much there. Edit: Getting a lot of comments. I assume because the video is blowing up (yay!!) To answer a question, I live with my mom. She makes just about enough to keep the lights on, sometimes less though. Hooray for food stamps! There won't be another edit I don't think, not after this one. I wish you all well, please treat each other with kindness. Its so, so easy to be mean when there's nothing stopping you from typing something to someone, especially when you don't even register them as a human just like you. To the first few people in the thread, I hope things get better for you. And to the people who will see this, or the people who have commented: Even if I don't remember this comment in 5 years or if we all come out of this video unchanged or worse; I hope there is life and love and longing in your future. I will not presume any more of you all. I will not presume that I will change anything or that I have said anything all too important. But I hope I have. Happy new year Edited on Dec 27th 2023, 3:27 PM
Good luck my friends. It’s good to start where you are, it’s the best you can do. Step by step, life was made for you, you deserve to live the joys you can’t even think of
"Real" world isn't captivating enough to make one too busy to write such a lenghty comment, is it? I'm happy for you finding it pretty. It looks like shit where I live. PS: how come you live "inside" with no means of sustainance, as you claim, you leech off of social benefits or parents?
After Covid my social skills were horrible and I started to get social anxiety. For me the best way to overcome social anxiety was to just go outside and interact with people. At first it’s really hard but the more you do it the easier it gets
This is the most relatable unfiltered comment I’ve come across on the internet. I’m in this exact situation as you described right now but I’m ashamed of myself to the point of denial and outright lying about my situation. Thank you for this. Your comment helps me realize no matter how bad it is, accepting the reality that I’m living rn is one step towards change. And that it’s more than okay to accept my current situation as it is without trying to filter parts of it out to make me look better. I think all I needed is something that resonates with my vulnerabilities instead of running away. Thank you so much.
I already knew that doomscrolling was bad, however beyond that simple message there was something in the feel of this animation, in the style, the colors, the music choice, how the character looks out of the window, and the clicking sound after it went black... There was something that resonated with me on a deeper level. This weird comfort I only felt when I stayed up until 4, and I just sat on the floor, stared at a specific point at the wall and listened to Jack Stauber for the first time. I know that this is very specific, and that's the point. There is something very specific about this animation that I find almost uncomfortably comforting and melancholically beautiful. I don't know if that feeling was intended, or that it accidentally triggered a switch in my brain, but thank you for making this animation!
I used to feel like this for the past 5 years. For me, what really got my happiness and joy back in my life was just to do things - to cook myself a nice stew or curry to enjoy for the week and share with friends, to clean my place properly, to get back a sense of pride in doing those "menial" tasks that matter a lot. People say that they "do" a lot of things like "doing research" but, are you actually doing any research... or simply watching someone else's? I found out that I was just watching someone else doing what I wanted to do. It doesn't matter nearly as much if no one other than yourself is there to enjoy that with you, or if you get famous, or whether or not you document it. Yes, I'm in debt, yes, my job sucks sometimes, yes, I live in a city far away from nature and I felt like a zombie for the longest time. But at the end of the day, the little things saved me. Slow-roasting my tomatoes with grilled spices, the joy of thinking "OMG - I only spent 40 dollars for this and I'll be able to feed myself for several days and perhaps and bring joy to my friends! That's incredible!" - embracing the beauty that comes with having very little money instead of being miserable. Yes it's hard, but if I do the right things, I'm happy. And it will get better, because I do the right things, and because I'm happy. Happiness won't happen on the other side of whatever else other than the prison we make for ourselves. I spent 2 months starving, everyday, hard. I thought I was a worthless loser. I believed all those voices in my phone, but the voices in your phone don't know the slightest bit of the beginning of your story. It may be cliché, but it's fcking true. Take it one step at a time.
Wow you just described my life..I haven't been starving fortunately but the rest of it I relate to so so much. Live a good life thanks for the message🙂
The message of the Bible is that no matter how evil you think you are, no matter how far you feel you are from God, you can get right with God. You can go to heaven. All you have to do is put your full trust in Jesus. The message of the Bible is that Jesus was punished for all the evil things you have done or will ever do. He loved you so much that he was willing to die a horrible, brutal death for what you did. He was punished for your actions. If you believe in him and trust him you will have eternal life with God. You will not go to hell because Jesus already went for you. All you have to do is trust in Jesus. Nothing else. You don't have to go to church. You don't have to give money to people. You don't have to do anything but believe in what Jesus did. That he sacrificed himself for you so that you could go to heaven.
I immensely enjoy the use of OFF music- not only the track at the end, but I recognize the tracks in the static, and it’s such a good way to use them! It builds on the atmosphere so well I love the style of your work
This made me cry a bit. I’d just been scrolling on youtube and found your video. No matter how many times I try to distance myself from short-form content, I always come back. It’s a huge part of everyday life. I’m forced to use the internet for school and I’ll be forced to use it for work. It’s so distracting and endless and it hurts. I’m afraid we’ll all get some new kind of dementia in our older years because of this. There are no studies, none at all, of what this app design does to your brain with years of scrolling. I really am so scared. But I get so lethargic when I scroll and I just can’t get out. It’s this constant feeling of muffled emotional distress and paralysis. Even after watching this, I feel like I should get off TH-cam and do something else, but there’s this curiosity itching in the back of my brain like “what if there’s more to see?” I have to work really hard to unpack that and realize what it actually means. I need to ask myself, why? Why do you need to check the homepage again? Why is it so important? You’ve done it a million times and it’s never made you happy. I hope that someday, phones won’t be so necessary for functioning in society, and we can maybe pass laws restricting companies’ use of manipulative content. Also, is that music from Machinarium?
I understand you. Social media are the cigarettes of the 21st century. I don't know if you watched it but I recommend you the netflix documentary the social dilemma. There (and of course on other sources like internet or youtube (i know it sounds contradictory)) you can get to know how it affects you and that it's not all your fault: these systems were created to be addictive. I think the best solution would be getting informed about it, what you can do to leave it (hobbies, be outside, get focus on your work, eventually get rid of social media (or use it healthily) and most importanly control it, because that's our problem: It controls you. Of course this should happen gradually, you won't be using all these apps from one day to another, but gradually I think you can do it. And lastly, I don't think we must hate the internet and live in the middle of the forest with no communication. As everything in life I believe balance is the way to go, and if we use social media and the internet in a balanced way (like not being the hole day there) and in a productive way (like learning instead of consuming cheap entertainment), we can get benefit from it. pd: i still think yt is the best social media available
You expect it to get any better in the future? LOL phones in the future will be attached into people's arms or brains for capitalistic purposes, screw the law big tech and billionaires have the money and power
Honestly this video made me cry. A couple of years ago there had been huge changes in my life which I’m still not comfortable with and these days are really hard for me. I spend so many hours just mindlessly scrolling through the internet that I started to feel more and more isolated from other world as much as from my own feelings and my own life. Instead of trying to get used to my life and these new things I have now, I tried to escape from reality because it seemed to be too difficult.. I am so young and realising what a part of my life is wasted this way really scares me.
Hey, i was scared too, and i am scare now, too. Now a little less than before. I am trying too, but even if we think is a bad option, talk this with someone and make it constant helps so much. May u feel ashamed of it, and you are sofocated and kinda lost, and u feel empty on a self identity, i feel that, and I can see with this that yesss really helps me, and we are no exagerating, its important, its important how we feel and who we are, so i promise im going to do it too. This is the thing we do because we dont know how to deal with what is happening us inside with the external, so we are avoiding, uh, sorry for the bad english, nice to see im not the only one, hope i explain me okay and it makes some sense to u :)
Hey pal. I’m sorry you’ve had some tough years - it can be hard to cope with big changes, particularly if we don’t have support systems around us. Do you live somewhere that you can reach out to someone to talk (therapy via health insurance, school/work scheme or charity) to? (Or even online therapy if not?) If you can’t do that but want to make some changes to start feeling better, I highly recommend having a period of “toddlering yourself”. 😅 Basically treat yourself as you would a toddler you’d been tasked to care for: eating good things (even if it’s just having an apple alongside your toast!), getting outside for fresh air and movement, sleep, positive activities (nothing too harrowing for films/music, crafts or reading, cooking or baking, gardening). Basically, a mindset of caring for yourself gently and purposefully for a week or so - then review how you feel. I found this hard, but even adding in a shower/bath and getting outside (face in sunshine) can make a big difference and give you enough energy to care in other ways. But - therapy would be most helpful as sometimes we need a helping hand to pull us out of the pit. Good luck - you deserve peace and happiness.
The feeling of being unable to escape, when all that has to be done is less than what you're putting yourself through, is perfectly illustrated. Love it.
"All that has to be done is less than what you're putting yourself through". Man you just perfectly put into words the feeling of anticipatory doom and procrastination. It totally feels like doomscrolling with your own thoughts. Like a hamster in a wheel, you're never able to get anywhere, but you can't stop either way. I've never been able to pin it down properly with this feeling/state of mind. I've gone through it so many times, and so intensely. Just by saying that you reframed it in a much more useful way. I know this might all be very random, but you have unintentionally helped me so much right now. Thanks a lot man, I wish you the best.
I love this video, 0:40 The phone saying "You're capable of everything because it's all within you" is just so perfect, it's the perfect quote for this video to capture this unique all too common feeling of, depression from inaction. All the motivation online makes everything feel so watered down these days leaving us with a sense that there's nothing meaningful to do. But this video tells us that the gentle breeze from looking out the window may have more meaning than you'd think. Also this video would not hit the same if it weren't for the 5 second clip 1:13 zoomed out from the hill, a beautiful perspective shift that gently says, "Hey, you could feel this peaceful too." Phenomenal video
This one brought tears to my eyes. Before I even watched the video it hit me and I agreed. Ive been doing an immense amount of research on human neurobiology through huberman lab podcast episodes. The more videos I watch, the more I get this feeling affirmed that the human mind and biology is completely adapted to a natural human lifestyle that our deep ancestors had. Eating mostly plants, meat sometimes, not eating so much. We have glands in our eyes that detect light and set our entire internal clock, and throwing that clock off with artificial light can induce clinicial depression in a lot of people. There are so many different fundemental ways that modern life fucks with our biology in very negative ways. Even our brains are fucked. We are supposed to be outside having fun in nature and hanging out with each other. Instead we are in boxes staring at screens ti escape the pain dreading the next shift. This video snapped me right out of that hypnotic state momentarily. Im probably never going to actually do it, but I get this constant urge to just drop everything and live in the forest. Its not rational, but I think its an emotional thought and the cause of me feeling that way is valid.
I hope you can find a job that would let you live closer to the lifestyle you want. Maybe one where you are outside all day? Anyway beautiful comment 👍
@@lakshyacuts huberman podcast episodes are usually 1 to 3 hours long and ive seen over 2 dozen of them, each covering like a whole semester of information in an easy to understand way for the general public. Ive mainly looked into emotions, addiction, focus, motivation and willpower. But ive also looked into sleep and nutrition. I learned that there are trillions of microbiota in the gut, and that biome directly effects our health to the point it effects our brains resources and emotions, and that modern processed foods have had strange not fully understood effects on the gut. Ive learned a lot about nueroplasticity and how the brain changes, and how what you focus on changes your mind. Ive listen to andrew(he is one of the top neuroscientists in the world) talk to some of the best psychiatrists in the world. Those who are extremely successful and dont always use orthodox methods. Id say that the most messed up things modern humans do to betray our biology is getting unnatural light at unnatural times. Your eyes can sense the direction light comes from to tell your body what time of day it is. If your internal clock is thrown off, studies have shown it induces clinical depression a lot of the time, and lowers your brain function. To counteract this, make sure yu are getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep in complete or near darkness, the darkness will set your melatonin and then when the sun comes up go outside for 5 mins. Do this for sunrise and sunset and after a few days you will feel much more energised and a bit smarter, and happier. You will also automatically go to sleep at the right time. And then theres nutrition. Our ancestors had a successful hunt 1 in 30 times. So they ate mostly plants nuts and fruit. Our gut microbiome isnt built for that much meat. More than like 6 meatballs a week and the meat eating microbiota will start to eat the lining of your stomach, causing inflammation and other diseases. So, eat food. Not too much (like 1 or 2 meals a day with snacks) mostly plants and maybe a steak dinner once a week or every other week. Not saying its wrong to eat tons of meat if thats your preference, im just telling you what I learned to be the most optimal way to get nutrition from what I learned through neurobiology.
you know, i’ve been chronically online since i was 13 but have only recently (past couple years) been thinking about these things. i’ve also noticed more and more people talking about it. you’re not alone in wanting to go back to nature, so many more people resonate with that but the issue is many of us don’t know how to break out. what we can do is log off for a bit 💕
Consuming content is like forgetting your past experiences in life whether you are dealing with trauma or separate yourself from reality so that you won’t have to face your deepest fears. This video made me reflect myself throughout this month I haven’t been going out or the gym for weeks because honestly I feel emotionally hurt and lost in life. I’m trying to make a plan on what wanna do idk what it will be but someday I hope I can figure it out, currently it’s 1:50pm and should probably get back to bed lol. Stay safe everyone.
Same here, feeling broken, using social media too scape, and finding that not only it doesn't allow me to heal, but generates new all this mess in my head that makes it even worse, then i say "damn I should throw my phone and talk with people" but i have lost my abilities to do so.
I completely understand and I went through this same bs (and arguably still am). But, with all do respect, I genuinely fucking hate this doomer mentality and is exactly why I am making a genuine attempt at change. The past year of my life or so has only been uphill; not really rising to fast, not anywhere CLOSE to the peak of my life (2016-2018), but its absolutely noticeable and its at least something lmao. I have just under 2 years left of high school, and I know for a fact that if I don't act now, I may never get a chance ever again with how isolated modern society is. TLDR: I'm trying to change for the better and (respectfully) yall really should too; you will be shocked at how easily fulfilled you will be doing something literally as simple as riding your bike on a good day.
So glad that TH-cam recommended me this. I really felt the warmth of the scene when the character gazed out of the window during the day, right after their panic-stricken night. There's something so tranquil about it, relieving. Love the use of OFF's soundtrack as well for that part. Awesome work!
Genuinely despise how completely predatory the design of things like shorts, reels, etc. They are all by design designed to be addictive and its ruining generations of lives.
We use our phones for literally everything now that we started to using it in a way that they substitute for our friends, for our hobbies, for our writing/translating/memorizing skills etc. They’re turning us empty. And it’s a cycle… the more we are like this, the more we isolate ourselves, and the more we contribute to create loneliness in the world. I personally started with removing all the SN apps from my phone, now I sometimes leave my phone at home when I go out and know I won’t need it (when I go to work, to the supermarket, out for a walk), but there are times when I wish I could just throw it out of the window for real. Great video! ❤
I wish I could do that but im in a shitty neighborhood in a bad town, phone is important though the experience of not having it near is somehow really relieving, this thursday i'm going offline the best I can for a bit and hope i can syick to it
i asked my therapist what she does for entertainment since she doesn't really use the internet or a smartphone, and she literally told me she reads books and stares at her woodstove fire and honestly, sounds pretty choice. the internet could be such a fantastic tool of knowledge and growth for people but under capitalism it only serves to advertise and imbue "content" into people and it's making us exhausted, stressed, and disconnected from reality.
@@fancy_pantsy_dt6751 sure, algorithms show you "what you want to see", but that's to keep people engaged, and that *is* done for advertisement. and no, having freedom is not exclusive to capitalism, and if that wasn't misspeak or hyperbole then i'd ask you to think about who told you that, and why you believed them.
@@0x5DA Please telll me one other system that has had actual freedom except the ones with capatalist traits. Sure as shit is not communism. Anarchy? Sure but thats just capatalism with extra step, steps that include removing vital regulations that give people a way to raise families in a safe way. Socialism? Aint no way thats freedom if you look at the past countries who tried to pull it of, soviet, china, north korea. Nope Ill choose capatalism everyday of the week, freedom is the only way. And where there is advertisements or alghoritms you can break it by using the search bar for what you actually wanna see. Just ignore the recommendations and google what you wanna learn.
@@fancy_pantsy_dt6751even if you only watch content that interests you, there are still advertisements constantly. These platforms are also designed specifically to be addicting, making it so that you keep watching, keep scrolling, always engaged with content.

@@0x5DA Tell that to Cubans, North Koreans, or any other communist country or dictatorship, they'll let you have it, trust me...Sadly capitalism is not perfect, but nothing is, at least under capitalism the only thing keeping you from making it is yourself. Sure some people have it very very rough in contrast to others obviously and there is unfairness on every corner. But if most people stop acting like a puss and don't give up on their goals, you can make it, especially if you do it intelligently. This is impossible under communism.

And just to give another example -seeing as y'all always love to bring Cuba and north Korea lol- Do u.s citizens have something as basic as a good healthcare system or the government is funding wars with their hard-earned money? Living HUMANELY is impossible under capitalism.
this is pretty much what it's felt like to look at my youtube feed lately, seeing a bunch of stuff i probably would've enjoyed 6 or 7 years ago, that means nothing to me now. i keep coming back to the same conclusion: "it's all just shit."
The internet and the news can be pretty overwhelming. I've really been feeling this as of late. Humans weren't made to handle being stressed about things happening everywhere all over the world. Knowing about major current events can be a good thing, but you must remember to take a step back when things get too rough and stressful for you about something you can't directly effect as an individual. If you need to direct your energy to just surviving and taking care of yourself, you don't need to participate in whatever's happening elsewhere.
I don't think anyone is stressed about things happening all over the world. People are stressed about their personal lives and use news to distract themselves.
@@MrCmon113I stress about things happening in other parts of the world. Not saying you should. People have different personality types, for some humanitarian issues are easier to ignore than others. Not judging just letting you know it’s a real issue for some people.
@@michellemartinez7962Me too, I have all my life. I'm really empathetic and have a strong sense of justice. My own life might be going fine, but there's always something awful happening to someone, and I'm driven to understand it and maybe speak up for them. It's both a gift and a curse.
Please guys do not give up on humanity. It’s hard to wake up and feeling the heaviness of everything just pushing you deeper and deeper. I struggle to sleep, and wake up early, feeling like nothing is real but everything is also really fucked up. Can’t stop watching stupid reels everyday like a drug addict. But I feel something Inside that tells me to go on and hustle, to change my life and help the people who need help. Maybe I am just dreaming, and I will die lonely and depressed, maybe I will even do it myself, but that one warm feeling inside makes me stand up every time I feel like complete shit on the bottom of the fucking floor. Please, if you relate, don’t give up, I know it doesn’t mean much but I believe in you, work on loving yourselves and those who deserved to be loved
Hi! There's a lot of people who care about you despite not knowing you. Cliche, I know, but this truth hit me like a giant truck one day, impossible to ignore. If you allow my 2 cents regarding how to feel better: 1 - get a bicycle and go out daily and 2 - get a dumbphone.
Your heart is beating because God of the universe has a purpose for you my man. He loves you more then anything in the world, and more then anything in heaven. God loves you so much that He sent Himself to die so you don’t have to, Jesus was separated from God so you can be connected to God. Their is no good in the world, their is only good in God, and people who choose to accept and run after God. Jesus is very real, and He died, and was buried, and Rose again, and unless any man be born again (born of the water and spirit, just like a baby, when a baby is born they are born from water, then they breath in air), He shall never be with God. But those that believe in God and in His son Jesus shall never taste death, indeed the water He shall give them shall become a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Jesus Loves you so much, and God has had so much grace and compassion for you, their is only hope in God, hope without God is no hope at all, and life without God is no life at all. Thats why Jesus came, so that anyone who believes in Him shall be connected once again to God and experince the life God wanted wach and every one if us to have, a life where we are Gods, and He is ours. My boast is in the Lord, and the the cross, if i raise up any other name then the name of Jesus, or preach any other gospel then the gospel of Christ, may I be accursed. God loves you, me, and those that kill Him more then anything. I love you too man. I hope this message finds you and you learned something today. Peace! ✝️
The sad thing is that entertainment media used to coexist healthily in real life. Back when people had DVD’s, it was a pro-social activity, encouraging people to loan out their favorite movies or bring it somewhere to watch with friends. Gaming used to mean sharing a couch and snacks together. And before theaters and malls became prohibitively expensive, they were great places to hang out. I hate what this world has become.
This video is so good, I love how making the room walls tall really make it look like she’s trapped in a box. The phone trapped her further, and then the city... the feeling of being confined with no escape. The framing and zoom really capture just how detached from nature we are, how stuck we are in a world that kills nature and forces our attention away from it.
People like you nowadays choose to do something they hate and whine about how caged in they are and locked away from the nature. Something tells me that is not a problem of the modern world. The modern world merely made everything extremely easy...including feeling miserably. You choose to feel miserable
thank you for being one of the few to understand that the squalid apartments are at least as much of a problem as the phone. It's a lot easier to put your phone down than it is to get out of urban sprawl. cities are horrible.
I feel like the main problem is the fact that everyone goes on their phone every day and its so normalized now. I'm not saying phones in general are bad, because they connect us to our friends and everything, but it can also cause social isolation. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. Phones kind of consume your attention, change your attitude, and tempt you to mindlessly scroll because your in person life is too boring.
Imagine we live in a time before the internet. Where we would have friends that want to come over or hangout at a regular spot you visit. Instead of being by ourselves scrolling or playing games with people you will never meet. A simpler time.
This hits me so much, I feel dizzy and kinda distorted whenever I get in that situation-just scrolling on social media looking for something, some satisfaction while having these heavy feelings and getting pessimistic about things. Then after a few minutes, everything would go back to normal, I could breathe well, especially when connecting to nature-me gardening at home, doing some real stuff that makes my day productive. In short I think we should not be drowned in social media that most of the time these days bring unworthy news and information infecting our minds. Mental health is really important, get up and do some meaningful things that'll help you with your personal development.
In the past, I would resonate to this a lot, but lately, anytime I need a break emotionally, I just draw stars and make whatever doodles in my sketchbook
The entire internet has started to make me feel completely existential about myself, from my morality to my identity to even questioning what the point of being alive and enjoying anything is, and even with something like TH-cam being the only social media that I’m on, it’s still hard sometimes to handle all of this stuff. I think maybe I just need to find some human connection in this new setting I’ve put myself in
My favorite part about this is that even if you are aware of this problem (like maybe you reading this rn) you are still doing nothing to solve it. We’re trapped in it.
"Hey, you, individual in an 8 billion wide problem. This is all on YOU to personally fix everything for everyone else! GET ON THAT SHIT!" nah man, the collective guilt that you're peddling is *also* a huge part of the problem. Miss me with that nonsense.
@@Phoenix0F8they could also be talking about the personal problem of being addicted to social media. in which case it is their responsibility to better themselves. even then being a doomer about it only makes it harder to move forward
i hate that the world is so small nowadays. the internet has desensitized us all. it’s made it so easy to get involved and have opinions on things that have absolutely no bearing on your own life. to think that things halfway across the world *actually* affect us individually, to think that we need to get involved, to speak out, as if just words have ever actually done anything.
A lot of older people like to harp on kids for being addicted to their phones, but when you look at the world they left us, you realize why that addiction so easily takes root. They left us an industrial hellscape that makes you pay to be alive. Who the fuck wants to live in that?
This made me cry a bit. Maybe I’m just addicted to my phone but I know it’s only to shut off the torrent of thoughts and emotions for a while, but it’s intense when it comes back. We aren’t made for this. To feel so isolated and addicted to a screen, absorbed our little boxes of isolation. Never seen a piece of media capture this very unique and specific feeling so well
God has put us here on this earth for a True Purpose. Jesus has come, to save sinners: He Loves us too greatly, He was willing to be mocked, scorned, bled on the cross, yet even having the power to save Himself, He did not because of the will God had for Jesus, and that was to save us. Through Him, when we believe, Jesus trades His perfect, eternal, sinless Life with our sinful, mortal life, and therefore our sin is put upon Him, and Christ took upon the wrath of God we deserved. He is the true Lord and Saviour, with His death and ressurection done once and for all. Does this give us an excuse to sin? Absolutely not. How can we, who are dead to sin after Jesus died for our sins, continue in sin deliberately? God does forgive us and cleanses us, restores us and makes us new when we repent. Is this unfair judgement? God is not unjust, He is Fair, and Righteous. But because God knows that no one is perfect, and that everyone has sinned, His sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for us, so that we may inherit eternal Life, and be made blameless. Jesus Saves, and Loves you all. God bless.
Im just so glad that i never got into short-form content like tiktok, etc. Yeah sometimes i might watch like 1-10 shorts but i always stop before i feel like its addicting me.
guys, social media is a prison. please take control of your life before it’s too late. i wish i’ve done it sooner because it only made it harder for me to escape the longer i waited. if you feel exhausted, if you’re just mindlessly scrolling, please take a moment and think of something better you could be doing. that’s what completely changed me and i’m doing 10x better already by just going outside my room for some time and listening to my favorite songs while i ponder and eat.. it really does make a difference if you slowly detach yourself from what’s holding you back from your freedom. take control, don’t let it consume you! even if you’re starting off with little steps, it will take you far.
Profound and obviously relatable. Love that you added the "everything is within you" piece. Feels like we have all the resources in the world, so it's somehow OUR failure when we arent able to stay focused and do everything we want.
Remember, nobody forces you to do that, it's your decision. And while habits can stick with us for an annoying while they should never be mistaken as instinct. Habits are a double edged sword. It is on you to sharpen the right side Where there's a will, there's a way
As much as I hate to admit it, this is painfully true. I’m using social media too much only to give me a sense of hope and motivation but it instead leave me feeling numb and unfulfilled. I’m feeling best when I take a walk outside or when I exercise. Thank you for creating this relatable animation, I hope it will help other people getting out of this vicious circle.
Even if youre having a lazy day, getting out just a little bit can have a huge difference. Ive found that reading outside or going to the gym can do a lot to help prevent that numb fuzziness i get in my head. Also try to avoid absentminded scrolling. You still dont want to do too much of them but in my experience things like video games or movies are more intellectually and emotionally resonant and less overwhelming, so you wont get that feeling of malaise, at least not as quickly. Stay feeling guys
beautifully put as someone who's recently been trying to recover from all this brain sludge... and the use of Desperately Safe from OFF sent chills down my entire body- awesome reference!!!
This is such a visceral visual description of the negative control that kind of exposure has on our lives and the addiction we’ve developed to it, as well as the wonderful close out on the pure isolation we’ve experienced as a society, living in a world where we are inherently without contact and community. Wonderful work overall
My great-grandma, who's 101 years old and has published 4 books, told me a few weeks ago that modern technology fills the user's mind to the point that they can no longer be creative because inspiration requires a clear mind and being in-touch with your emotions and the world around you. She doesn't have a computer and never uses the internet. The most modern technology she has is a flip-phone. She lives on a farm in rural Puerto Rico. We are penpals via snail mail.
I know I am not the only one that feels like humans evolved way further technologically than we were supposed to, we’re supposed to have to do real physical labor to survive, there’s a reason people are depressed. Now most people go sit at a cash register to fulfill another man’s dream all while making barely enough to survive.
"EVERYTHING YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING" This hits deep.....this has literally been my life and I don't know how to escape because I feel trapped in society and trapped in this prison box while society constantly demands I change when society is what cornered me into this lifestyle to begin with. There's plenty I want to do if I had PHYSICAL access but I don't. All I ever have is virtual access with virtual friends who no longer associate with me both virtually nor physically.
i feel like social media is the worst thing to ever happen to us somehow 'social media' has made us less social and the world feels a whole lot smaller
Every time I spent my day on social media, I have always has this profound guilt within because I am aware that this should not be the thing I will be doing.
of all people to use "desperately safe" in an animation you have by far and large used it best. genuinely teared up when i heard it here. i used to boot up OFF and just hang out in the library world so i could listen to that song and cry a bit, youre the first person ive seen to capture what it felt like to hear it for the first time. i dont think we were made for this either
I loved this video. It’s exactly how I was feeling looking through social media. Seeing everyone’s artificial perfect happy life through a post or a story was really depressing to me at a time where I was going through bad stuff. In December of last year I made the decision of deleting all social media apps on my phone and I think it’s the best decision I’ve taken this year so far
to who ever made this thank you, I have felt off for quite sometime like emotionally numb and this video added some much needed clarity in my life. Over stimulation is disconnecting us from the present moment. We need to be the change
NO IT'S NOT. It's only sampled there. The original is from the OFF ost. The game and its soundtrack is literally old enough to drink have kids and drive a car not this new song that sampled the sh.
This resonates with me a lot. The tap of a phone could show you things going on in other places that you don’t want to see, opinions you don’t want to hear. Constant negativity flooding your mind before you even get out of bed. It’s not healthy, and I’m glad there are others who too recognize this problem.
Random thought but I recognized the skyscraper sounds immediately: flalout 4. Mad respect for you using those. I struggle with this animation, because i feel like our lives are so mundane and bland. I see all of these video games showing fantastical, impossible worlds that are so beautiful and i can only hope to exist/live in them sometimes. Then i turn it off, and I'm left in the real world. My life right now has been me working my butt off to make money, to make my college grades, and finally(as of recent) graduate college. It just feels so off knowing that i wanted to explore this world in my own way, in a different time or place...somrtimes alone, sometimes with a person, or group. I just feel like life right now is just hard to face because i have to live with the fact that my expectations are completely unreal. I always get worried I'll sound delusional daying stuff like this. I don't video game as much as i talk about, but I'm one of those people who daydream and build worlds in my mind and i always look back at this one and just feel unhappy. So much unhappiness in the world, so many messed up things i can't change, and all the life in what we have kind of drains out. The worlds gotten more exciting for me these past few years however and i think maybe my dullness was found in surfing the web. I think its time i get out more and explore stuff on my own.
I mean you can literally create a sort of fantasy world yourself in real life , just not have powers and stuff, but even that can be possible with techonology, money, and Magic, Magic is real, not in the way you think but whatever, you can do many things if you put your mind to do it
This animation feels like my psychosis... in a good, heard way. I know it's rather more about social media/the internet/technology but wanted to share because your animations make me feel very happy and understood. Thank you so much. ♥
The thing about scrolling is that it isolates you, you feel like there’s so much happening in the world and you not part of it, you are just the watcher while others are living. Ever been left behind while your friends went on a school trip/camp? You felt sad, alone and couldn’t wait for them to return, that’s how scrolling feels like but worse because it feel like you have to go to the school trip and join your friends instead of waiting for them to return but instead you know you can’t just do that. Sm is beneficial for the owners and content creators. We know people we aren’t even supposed to know, we are told what to think and how to think. Unfortunately the human brain wasn’t created for this.
Just turned 25 and I can’t take it anymore. It’s so bad for us. I’ve reached the point where I’ve uninstalled all social media from my phone (only on my tablet now- with screentime restrictions). Some days I even set my screen display to grayscale mode. A bit extreme, yeah, but it seriously kills any desire to stare at my device. Trying to find my way back to reading books, drawing, fitness, going outside, etc. Thank you so much for making this animation. The internet needs more insightful content like this 🫶🏻
Hey if you want to do new things you could try reading atomic habits, tldr for the tasks you mentioned would be; read 1 page; have your sketchbook open on your desk with a pencil; have your exercise mat in a very visible or even annoying place, lay it out and do some stretches; get ready to go outside and just step out of your house. I can't promise this would work for you but its currently helping me
I hope it works out for you mate. Even I'm facing the same struggle. Addicted to scrolling. I've uninstalled all social media apps but can't uninstall youtube hence waste tons and tons of time here on these youtube shorts. I've too put a lot of restrictions on my phone but still end up doing the same thing. They should give an option to disable YT Shorts. Or even uninstall TH-cam. But then I'm worried I'll come here from chrome. I guess self-control is the only way this will be possible to do. Because of these things everyday I end up fucking up my schedule. And study less than I'm supposed to. I sleep less. I skip some important things sometimes like studying or workout. I feel so exhausted after these scrolling sessions and sometimes grumpy or headaches and those guilt trips. I don't know what to do anymore.
this is what everyone needs to hear, good comment. imo, fitness is one of the biggest stepping stones to use in your journey away from any kind of addiction, social media included. it completely removed my dependency on certain things on the internet, and i always feel good after a workout. fitness needs to be promoted more.
this video is modern art and will be recognized as such one day. brilliant. the ending was quite emotional as well. so much was said so poignantly without a single word. idk, i think this video is really special and speaks for an entire generation. love it
This was the reminder I so sorely needed. Because of you I took a lovely walk, made progress on my work, and even generated some new ideas. Thank you and here's hoping the algorithm looks favorably on this one
@@KookoCraft Dude, leave people alone. That and, phone’s are an essential in today’s society. Most people will have to use them for work or school at some point. It doesn’t make them weak.
If anyone is wondering, the music in the beginning is from the game Machinairum, it has the best music in any game I've every played. The song is The Glasshouse With Butterfly (Tomas Dvorak). I recommend checking the rest though, they are all so relaxing and beautiful.
I have been feeling exactly like whatever this video feels like since the pandemic, here and there a little socialization and school kept that worry away but now again im on vacation doing nothing in my home all day. I decided i wanted to get a summer job, go to the gym, hang out with the girl i like but even tho summer is barely starting, im not sure how much of that i will actually do
Very well done. I especially like the shot of the city from a nearby hilltop. That perspective that we lose sometimes when scrolling. That there’s a big world out there. Thank you for sharing this.
This is instantly one of my favorite videos on this platform. I just love the narration and the rhythm, it felt way longer than 1min35 thanks to the mood it conveys
I m leaving this paragraph here for myself. I don't really know what to say right now and what is actually happening with me or in my mind but currently I m feeling so tired and mentally exhausted because of this mindless scrolling on reels, yt videos, shorts and other social media apps and this is one of the worst thing I m constantly doing with my self because of the fact that i m heavily addicted to social media even thought I don't want to use them lol, I feel like I'm slowly killing myself because of this addiction and no matter how many times I tried to control myself but yet I failed most of the time,However My exams are going and I m not sure whether I will able to perform well this year or not but still trying my best. this is the reminder for my future self to not wasting ur time and doing mindless scrolling just for some cheap dopamine . and I believe in myself that I will overcome this addiction for my overall mental health :")) and for the person who is reading this paragraph don't give up on ur self if u need someone to talk I m here for u
This reminds me, earlier today I went to the hospital to visit my younger brother, and sitting there, I saw both him and our mom on their phones endlessly scrolling. I was the only one sitting there with my phone in the pocket and it felt isolating. Here I am in a room with family members and they don’t want to really be social physically, they just rather scroll endlessly while occasionally being like, “look at this video” It’s sad, it’s depressing, it’s isolating, and while I was there, I felt alienated
Thank you for creating this amazing animation. Love the choice of using an OFF track. Digital s/h and doom scrolling then obsessing about the topics I see is something I've been dealing with more recently thats taken a toll on my mental health. So many horrible and depressing things that we have almost instantaneous access to 24/7. It's hard to stop myself once I start but I'm trying to work on it with my therapist. Thanks for this and your other animations. They're so human and beautiful
The tension and melancholy, the apathy and anxiety, all portrayed perfectly in only a minute and thirty four seconds. It shows how hopeless it feels to be living this life, but at the same time, when the camera pans out to show the whole city, you see there's just as much hope too. The world is still out there. It's waiting for us.
The second I heard “Machinarium - The Glasshouse With Butterfly” I was like aight, I gotta watch this. Great music choice. Live that game and it’s OST.
Watching someone doom scroll from the third person is always pretty depressing
So so so depressing
From the first person perspective works just as well
Doesn't that mean your doom scrolling while watching someone doom scroll?
I don't have any social media on my phone but used to have multiple meme accounts, now when I see people in public just doom scrolling through brainrot I genuinely am weirded out in a way I can't describe without feeling like I'm being rude

My favorite part about this is how it captures the feeling of isolation in the real world. It's not just saying "phone bad", it's also showing the other side of that coin. Part of the reason that endlessly scrolling on our phones feels so appealing is because the physical world has become isolating, we don't have communities or third spaces anymore. I know the exact feeling of breaking away from your screens, looking out your window and realizing the world around you has been turned into an isolating mechanical husk only accessible by car and requiring money at every turn. Loitering laws keep us from being allowed to just exist in public. And so you go back to scrolling, because at least in the digital world we still have communication with others...
Jesus loves yall and died for us! Jesus calls for all of us to repent!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
This doesn't happen in all countries tbh.
Plus there is a solution to isolation.
Exactly,i am just 17, I won't know how it works for the money part, but mainly i hardly see a point to communicate outside the world, because there's no one, there are people, i have friends but they too immersed and consumed in internet, i look down my window and crave to go downstairs n have that experiences like in the past but i sigh knowing I can't acknowledge anybody for the same, sad enough no one is there to accompany me , and the top of it is i have social anxiety and this leaded to the extent that i have anxiety with my most friends too. Thus i go up to my mom's phone and scroll it like a dead person. Recently got my own personal phone and i am excited for the vulnerability that i won't just feel isolated
1) Money isn't as much of a prohibitive issue as you make it out to be. There are tons of cheap hobby clubs you could try, most things that cost money have affordable trial version, and if you find one or two things you want to do every week, you can probably find a way to fund it for yourself. My girlfriend has made hardly any money for like a decade and she still constantly goes to the cinema, sports clubs, into nature, free classes, etc. etc. You just have to let go of the need for everything you do to "amount to something, and you'll find that when you live life in the moment like that, you end up being crazily and productive in the long run anyway. Because staying active gives you more energy to do and enjoy more productive things overall.
2) Loneliness isn't as difficult to overcome as you present it. Most of the time when we feel isolated it's because we keep chasing "deep" friendships or validating dates, hookups, or romantic relationships. But those things obviously can't be forced, so if you don't have them and you're suffering from loneliness, you need to go into it with much more basic expectations to move forward. Meet people who need help with projects. Offer volunteer work or social coaching.
2.1.) Go on dates, but view them as fun ways to spend the evening instead of being disappointed every time you haven't found your soulmate or someone who wants to be naked with you. Crucially, learn to accept rejection by realising that most of the people who turn you down are probably interested in spending their time in ways that you wouldn't enjoy either. Or their personality just doesn't actually match yours as much as you're telling yourself. That's very often why the chemistry is off for them, and you're just not realising it because you just desperately finally want "a good catch" to show off.
Loitering laws? I didn't think people still worried about that lol, cmon bro.
This is outstanding. Really captures what it’s like to be lonely and turn to your phone for a distraction, just to find yourself caught in the endless stream of content on it that demands your attention. You especially nailed that feeling of being unable to break away no matter how toxic and self-destructive it feels when you keep scrolling, trapped in an overwhelming but addictive habit you resent. That was what resonated with me most. Awesome work!
I wonder when those in tech will realize what evil has been done and whether to reign it in. That or nobody wanted it everyone was making too much money.
I'm in tech (soft dev). If you have an idea of how to combat this or make a difference, I would 100%.

There's a deep dissatisfaction I get from looking to the internet for a break after being tired emotionally, only to come out of it feeling dazed and unmotivated. It's like checking out of existence for a short while. This captivates that sort of feeling really well. Your work blows my mind, your use of perspective and colors really just lays a thick mood on for the viewer, it's extraordinary what you've accomplished :]
You’re right, i was shocked she was able to turn a hostile urban apartment building into something beautiful just by changing the colors!

I usually just listen to music. Make a playlist of good things like Ambience music, meditation , pets videos or something wholesome. You can click on the video as "not interested" so TH-cam won't recommend you that again.
ooee this inspires a story for me
then just stop looking at the Internet 🤷
Nice animation, I'm sure it resonates with a lot of people, it certainly does with me. How social media preys on you, and even though you can lay there scrolling through it for ages, feeling unfulfilled and numb, you can't bring yourself to break away from it. Even when you do, there's this horrible sensation that you have to come back to it, it's a horrible experience. It's also weird hearing OFF music in non-OFF related content but it felt right, even the cityscape reminded me of some of the settings from it.
Could try going camping/whatever in a remote location without cell service. I do a fair bit of camping in different/new places and never really know if I'll have signal til I get there. When I don't, cut off from the world, it's fine/peaceful.
I can never leave it now. I have tinnitus so listening to something is just something I will have to live with. Or else I’m stuck with a constant non stimulating sound that is 10x worse.
The TikTok and TH-cam shorts format made it a lot worse for me, I can be like “okay last one” and then scroll to the next one without even thinking and then I forget I was supposed to get off because a of a video, I’m just trying to stay off shorts as much as possible now
Addiction is like this. You trade all things for one thing but once you break free from that one thing you get all things.
I'm glad I don't have any social media and go outside to exercise frequently.
Everything leads back to nature. Feeling stressed? Spend some time in nature. Heartbroken? Nature. We must all reconnect with nature and protect it
Yes Marx talked about our alienation from nature in 1844. He never could've imagined how bad that alienation would be now.
Yes, to a degree. But it doesn't solve the source of those problems. And you can't just stay out in nature forever.
You're going back to nature whether you like it or not when you die.
@@hmnhntr Depends on the person I guess
@@CM2yv Truly
Always make sure to go outside. It seriously makes you feel so much better. It's where we're meant to be. There's something about a good walk in nature that feels so good and relieving. Like a break from the chaotic world of electronics. It's so important too to realize that all this stuff is on your little device, in your little home, in a big world. Even when you're just walking away from your house, you can just see just how tiny the space you were in really was. It's a big world out there, so go explore it!
@@HobbNoblin pretty selfish and narcissistic of you to think you're so central in the world/people's lives that they all have time to hate you.
I mean that in a trying-to-be-helpful way. People simply don't have the time/energy to all hate you like you think. Indifferent, maybe. but you're certainly not going to make anything better by moping about it.
get angry and get defiant. start to hate your predicament so much that you're forced to change it. Hate the idea of being a bad person until you're being nice to others out of spite for the bad side of you.
it works.
You're seeing a million times more of the world on the internet than when you go for a walk.
@@MrCmon113 But you're seeing it on a screen. It's not just about literally SEEING, but also about feeling and experiencing the world
If you live in a walkable city then yeah its good but if you live in an car centric area then yeah
@@toonymoony16yeah this advice is so depressing when you live in a concrete hell. There is no nature. There's just cars and buildings and ads and garbage and other unhappy humans.
I like that’s it’s more than just social media. It’s the fact that she’s lonely, living in an apartment that’s like a closet, building is beat up, sleeping on a floor mattress, clothes on the floor etc. Only peace she gets is the silence paired with industrial noise & one small window, that just looks out to a never ending metropolis. You can see nature out in the distance. It’s close yet so far, you succumb to the seeming convenience of your phone once more
underrated comment

Agreed, except floor mattresses are a vibe, kinda nice
Yeah true but a "floor mattress/futon" is different from "mattress on the floor" lol@@alexchipka6126
The author herself contributes to the problem: she's portraying "10 reasons to hate women" and a female victim while in the real world the media is waging war on masculinity (which is a cause of men putting up with this distopyan system in the first place).
i just went out for the first time in a while. went by myself to the library. the world was just so genuinely beautiful. i dont get out, i dont have anyone i know IRL and its impossible for me to go out by self. Going out made me realize how beautiful it is outside like, how genuinely beautiful the plants and the sky and the clouds are. It rained and it was like everything belonged and was at peace.
I'm chronically online because i've got nothing else, I'm not in school and I've not got a job. I have no one I know IRL and I'm very socially anxious. Sometimes I'll get so in my head about the world from my phone or video games or the news, and when I go outside I realize that the outside is so beautiful and theres so much there.
Edit: Getting a lot of comments. I assume because the video is blowing up (yay!!)
To answer a question, I live with my mom. She makes just about enough to keep the lights on, sometimes less though. Hooray for food stamps!
There won't be another edit I don't think, not after this one. I wish you all well, please treat each other with kindness. Its so, so easy to be mean when there's nothing stopping you from typing something to someone, especially when you don't even register them as a human just like you.
To the first few people in the thread, I hope things get better for you. And to the people who will see this, or the people who have commented: Even if I don't remember this comment in 5 years or if we all come out of this video unchanged or worse; I hope there is life and love and longing in your future. I will not presume any more of you all. I will not presume that I will change anything or that I have said anything all too important. But I hope I have.
Happy new year

I feel for you. It may help to meditate or go for a walk in the park. Good luck!
Good luck my friends. It’s good to start where you are, it’s the best you can do. Step by step, life was made for you, you deserve to live the joys you can’t even think of
"Real" world isn't captivating enough to make one too busy to write such a lenghty comment, is it?
I'm happy for you finding it pretty. It looks like shit where I live.
PS: how come you live "inside" with no means of sustainance, as you claim, you leech off of social benefits or parents?
After Covid my social skills were horrible and I started to get social anxiety. For me the best way to overcome social anxiety was to just go outside and interact with people. At first it’s really hard but the more you do it the easier it gets
This is the most relatable unfiltered comment I’ve come across on the internet. I’m in this exact situation as you described right now but I’m ashamed of myself to the point of denial and outright lying about my situation. Thank you for this. Your comment helps me realize no matter how bad it is, accepting the reality that I’m living rn is one step towards change. And that it’s more than okay to accept my current situation as it is without trying to filter parts of it out to make me look better. I think all I needed is something that resonates with my vulnerabilities instead of running away. Thank you so much.
I already knew that doomscrolling was bad, however beyond that simple message there was something in the feel of this animation, in the style, the colors, the music choice, how the character looks out of the window, and the clicking sound after it went black... There was something that resonated with me on a deeper level. This weird comfort I only felt when I stayed up until 4, and I just sat on the floor, stared at a specific point at the wall and listened to Jack Stauber for the first time. I know that this is very specific, and that's the point. There is something very specific about this animation that I find almost uncomfortably comforting and melancholically beautiful. I don't know if that feeling was intended, or that it accidentally triggered a switch in my brain, but thank you for making this animation!
I once scrolled through my phone and when I looked up 4 hours had passed. Made some changes in my lifestyle that day. It was eye-opening.
What changes? Please share
@@Tomh614 most importantly not being on the phone for 4 hours in a day i bet 😂
continously 4 hours on phone is a talent itself 😔‼️
@@BigYumps yeah that is a good way for a start but what will I do if not being on my phone for hours 😭. Please guide on this
@@Tomh614 practice your hobbies, go outside for a walk, ride a bicycle if you can.
I used to feel like this for the past 5 years.
For me, what really got my happiness and joy back in my life was just to do things - to cook myself a nice stew or curry to enjoy for the week and share with friends, to clean my place properly, to get back a sense of pride in doing those "menial" tasks that matter a lot. People say that they "do" a lot of things like "doing research" but, are you actually doing any research... or simply watching someone else's? I found out that I was just watching someone else doing what I wanted to do.
It doesn't matter nearly as much if no one other than yourself is there to enjoy that with you, or if you get famous, or whether or not you document it. Yes, I'm in debt, yes, my job sucks sometimes, yes, I live in a city far away from nature and I felt like a zombie for the longest time.
But at the end of the day, the little things saved me. Slow-roasting my tomatoes with grilled spices, the joy of thinking "OMG - I only spent 40 dollars for this and I'll be able to feed myself for several days and perhaps and bring joy to my friends! That's incredible!" - embracing the beauty that comes with having very little money instead of being miserable.
Yes it's hard, but if I do the right things, I'm happy. And it will get better, because I do the right things, and because I'm happy.
Happiness won't happen on the other side of whatever else other than the prison we make for ourselves.
I spent 2 months starving, everyday, hard. I thought I was a worthless loser. I believed all those voices in my phone, but the voices in your phone don't know the slightest bit of the beginning of your story.
It may be cliché, but it's fcking true.
Take it one step at a time.
I don't know what to say but I really needed to hear this. Thanks
Have a good life, man, be happy

Wow you just described my life..I haven't been starving fortunately but the rest of it I relate to so so much. Live a good life thanks for the message🙂
The message of the Bible is that no matter how evil you think you are, no matter how far you feel you are from God, you can get right with God. You can go to heaven.
All you have to do is put your full trust in Jesus. The message of the Bible is that Jesus was punished for all the evil things you have done or will ever do. He loved you so much that he was willing to die a horrible, brutal death for what you did. He was punished for your actions. If you believe in him and trust him you will have eternal life with God. You will not go to hell because Jesus already went for you.
All you have to do is trust in Jesus. Nothing else. You don't have to go to church. You don't have to give money to people. You don't have to do anything but believe in what Jesus did. That he sacrificed himself for you so that you could go to heaven.
I immensely enjoy the use of OFF music- not only the track at the end, but I recognize the tracks in the static, and it’s such a good way to use them! It builds on the atmosphere so well

its not just the internet, its the world that made the internet and what it reflects
This made me cry a bit. I’d just been scrolling on youtube and found your video. No matter how many times I try to distance myself from short-form content, I always come back. It’s a huge part of everyday life. I’m forced to use the internet for school and I’ll be forced to use it for work. It’s so distracting and endless and it hurts.
I’m afraid we’ll all get some new kind of dementia in our older years because of this. There are no studies, none at all, of what this app design does to your brain with years of scrolling. I really am so scared. But I get so lethargic when I scroll and I just can’t get out. It’s this constant feeling of muffled emotional distress and paralysis.
Even after watching this, I feel like I should get off TH-cam and do something else, but there’s this curiosity itching in the back of my brain like “what if there’s more to see?” I have to work really hard to unpack that and realize what it actually means. I need to ask myself, why? Why do you need to check the homepage again? Why is it so important? You’ve done it a million times and it’s never made you happy.
I hope that someday, phones won’t be so necessary for functioning in society, and we can maybe pass laws restricting companies’ use of manipulative content.
Also, is that music from Machinarium?
I Uninstalled Instagram and Facebook and don't regret it. Have you got some hobbies to replace the doomscroll?
it's going to be okay, I know it's scary but we're all in this together. you're okay, I'm okay, sometimes its helpful to hear that :)
I understand you. Social media are the cigarettes of the 21st century.
I don't know if you watched it but I recommend you the netflix documentary the social dilemma. There (and of course on other sources like internet or youtube (i know it sounds contradictory)) you can get to know how it affects you and that it's not all your fault: these systems were created to be addictive.
I think the best solution would be getting informed about it, what you can do to leave it (hobbies, be outside, get focus on your work, eventually get rid of social media (or use it healthily) and most importanly control it, because that's our problem: It controls you.
Of course this should happen gradually, you won't be using all these apps from one day to another, but gradually I think you can do it.
And lastly, I don't think we must hate the internet and live in the middle of the forest with no communication. As everything in life I believe balance is the way to go, and if we use social media and the internet in a balanced way (like not being the hole day there) and in a productive way (like learning instead of consuming cheap entertainment), we can get benefit from it.
pd: i still think yt is the best social media available
This type of honest, passionate and rigorous introspective capability is exactly the sort of thing that will lead you to adapt.
You expect it to get any better in the future? LOL phones in the future will be attached into people's arms or brains for capitalistic purposes, screw the law big tech and billionaires have the money and power
Honestly this video made me cry. A couple of years ago there had been huge changes in my life which I’m still not comfortable with and these days are really hard for me. I spend so many hours just mindlessly scrolling through the internet that I started to feel more and more isolated from other world as much as from my own feelings and my own life. Instead of trying to get used to my life and these new things I have now, I tried to escape from reality because it seemed to be too difficult.. I am so young and realising what a part of my life is wasted this way really scares me.
Hey, i was scared too, and i am scare now, too. Now a little less than before. I am trying too, but even if we think is a bad option, talk this with someone and make it constant helps so much. May u feel ashamed of it, and you are sofocated and kinda lost, and u feel empty on a self identity, i feel that, and I can see with this that yesss really helps me, and we are no exagerating, its important, its important how we feel and who we are, so i promise im going to do it too. This is the thing we do because we dont know how to deal with what is happening us inside with the external, so we are avoiding, uh, sorry for the bad english, nice to see im not the only one, hope i explain me okay and it makes some sense to u :)
Hey pal. I’m sorry you’ve had some tough years - it can be hard to cope with big changes, particularly if we don’t have support systems around us.
Do you live somewhere that you can reach out to someone to talk (therapy via health insurance, school/work scheme or charity) to? (Or even online therapy if not?)
If you can’t do that but want to make some changes to start feeling better, I highly recommend having a period of “toddlering yourself”. 😅 Basically treat yourself as you would a toddler you’d been tasked to care for: eating good things (even if it’s just having an apple alongside your toast!), getting outside for fresh air and movement, sleep, positive activities (nothing too harrowing for films/music, crafts or reading, cooking or baking, gardening). Basically, a mindset of caring for yourself gently and purposefully for a week or so - then review how you feel.
I found this hard, but even adding in a shower/bath and getting outside (face in sunshine) can make a big difference and give you enough energy to care in other ways.
But - therapy would be most helpful as sometimes we need a helping hand to pull us out of the pit. Good luck - you deserve peace and happiness.
The feeling of being unable to escape, when all that has to be done is less than what you're putting yourself through, is perfectly illustrated. Love it.
"All that has to be done is less than what you're putting yourself through".
Man you just perfectly put into words the feeling of anticipatory doom and procrastination. It totally feels like doomscrolling with your own thoughts. Like a hamster in a wheel, you're never able to get anywhere, but you can't stop either way. I've never been able to pin it down properly with this feeling/state of mind. I've gone through it so many times, and so intensely.
Just by saying that you reframed it in a much more useful way. I know this might all be very random, but you have unintentionally helped me so much right now. Thanks a lot man, I wish you the best.
I love this video, 0:40 The phone saying "You're capable of everything because it's all within you" is just so perfect, it's the perfect quote for this video to capture this unique all too common feeling of, depression from inaction. All the motivation online makes everything feel so watered down these days leaving us with a sense that there's nothing meaningful to do. But this video tells us that the gentle breeze from looking out the window may have more meaning than you'd think. Also this video would not hit the same if it weren't for the 5 second clip 1:13 zoomed out from the hill, a beautiful perspective shift that gently says, "Hey, you could feel this peaceful too." Phenomenal video
This one brought tears to my eyes. Before I even watched the video it hit me and I agreed. Ive been doing an immense amount of research on human neurobiology through huberman lab podcast episodes. The more videos I watch, the more I get this feeling affirmed that the human mind and biology is completely adapted to a natural human lifestyle that our deep ancestors had. Eating mostly plants, meat sometimes, not eating so much. We have glands in our eyes that detect light and set our entire internal clock, and throwing that clock off with artificial light can induce clinicial depression in a lot of people. There are so many different fundemental ways that modern life fucks with our biology in very negative ways. Even our brains are fucked. We are supposed to be outside having fun in nature and hanging out with each other. Instead we are in boxes staring at screens ti escape the pain dreading the next shift. This video snapped me right out of that hypnotic state momentarily.
Im probably never going to actually do it, but I get this constant urge to just drop everything and live in the forest. Its not rational, but I think its an emotional thought and the cause of me feeling that way is valid.
What more did you find in the research. I'm really interested in knowing.
I hope you can find a job that would let you live closer to the lifestyle you want. Maybe one where you are outside all day? Anyway beautiful comment 👍
And at least by knowing the truth, you are closer to being free
@@lakshyacuts huberman podcast episodes are usually 1 to 3 hours long and ive seen over 2 dozen of them, each covering like a whole semester of information in an easy to understand way for the general public.
Ive mainly looked into emotions, addiction, focus, motivation and willpower. But ive also looked into sleep and nutrition.
I learned that there are trillions of microbiota in the gut, and that biome directly effects our health to the point it effects our brains resources and emotions, and that modern processed foods have had strange not fully understood effects on the gut. Ive learned a lot about nueroplasticity and how the brain changes, and how what you focus on changes your mind.
Ive listen to andrew(he is one of the top neuroscientists in the world) talk to some of the best psychiatrists in the world. Those who are extremely successful and dont always use orthodox methods.
Id say that the most messed up things modern humans do to betray our biology is getting unnatural light at unnatural times. Your eyes can sense the direction light comes from to tell your body what time of day it is. If your internal clock is thrown off, studies have shown it induces clinical depression a lot of the time, and lowers your brain function.
To counteract this, make sure yu are getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep in complete or near darkness, the darkness will set your melatonin and then when the sun comes up go outside for 5 mins.
Do this for sunrise and sunset and after a few days you will feel much more energised and a bit smarter, and happier. You will also automatically go to sleep at the right time.
And then theres nutrition. Our ancestors had a successful hunt 1 in 30 times. So they ate mostly plants nuts and fruit. Our gut microbiome isnt built for that much meat. More than like 6 meatballs a week and the meat eating microbiota will start to eat the lining of your stomach, causing inflammation and other diseases.
So, eat food. Not too much (like 1 or 2 meals a day with snacks) mostly plants and maybe a steak dinner once a week or every other week. Not saying its wrong to eat tons of meat if thats your preference, im just telling you what I learned to be the most optimal way to get nutrition from what I learned through neurobiology.
you know, i’ve been chronically online since i was 13 but have only recently (past couple years) been thinking about these things. i’ve also noticed more and more people talking about it. you’re not alone in wanting to go back to nature, so many more people resonate with that but the issue is many of us don’t know how to break out. what we can do is log off for a bit 💕
Consuming content is like forgetting your past experiences in life whether you are dealing with trauma or separate yourself from reality so that you won’t have to face your deepest fears. This video made me reflect myself throughout this month I haven’t been going out or the gym for weeks because honestly I feel emotionally hurt and lost in life. I’m trying to make a plan on what wanna do idk what it will be but someday I hope I can figure it out, currently it’s 1:50pm and should probably get back to bed lol. Stay safe everyone.
Same here, feeling broken, using social media too scape, and finding that not only it doesn't allow me to heal, but generates new all this mess in my head that makes it even worse, then i say "damn I should throw my phone and talk with people" but i have lost my abilities to do so.
I completely understand and I went through this same bs (and arguably still am). But, with all do respect, I genuinely fucking hate this doomer mentality and is exactly why I am making a genuine attempt at change. The past year of my life or so has only been uphill; not really rising to fast, not anywhere CLOSE to the peak of my life (2016-2018), but its absolutely noticeable and its at least something lmao. I have just under 2 years left of high school, and I know for a fact that if I don't act now, I may never get a chance ever again with how isolated modern society is.
TLDR: I'm trying to change for the better and (respectfully) yall really should too; you will be shocked at how easily fulfilled you will be doing something literally as simple as riding your bike on a good day.
So glad that TH-cam recommended me this. I really felt the warmth of the scene when the character gazed out of the window during the day, right after their panic-stricken night. There's something so tranquil about it, relieving. Love the use of OFF's soundtrack as well for that part. Awesome work!
And Machinarium's soundtrack too!
Genuinely despise how completely predatory the design of things like shorts, reels, etc. They are all by design designed to be addictive and its ruining generations of lives.
We use our phones for literally everything now that we started to using it in a way that they substitute for our friends, for our hobbies, for our writing/translating/memorizing skills etc. They’re turning us empty. And it’s a cycle… the more we are like this, the more we isolate ourselves, and the more we contribute to create loneliness in the world.
I personally started with removing all the SN apps from my phone, now I sometimes leave my phone at home when I go out and know I won’t need it (when I go to work, to the supermarket, out for a walk), but there are times when I wish I could just throw it out of the window for real.
Great video! ❤

i asked my therapist what she does for entertainment since she doesn't really use the internet or a smartphone, and she literally told me she reads books and stares at her woodstove fire and honestly, sounds pretty choice. the internet could be such a fantastic tool of knowledge and growth for people but under capitalism it only serves to advertise and imbue "content" into people and it's making us exhausted, stressed, and disconnected from reality.

The internet and the news can be pretty overwhelming. I've really been feeling this as of late.
Humans weren't made to handle being stressed about things happening everywhere all over the world. Knowing about major current events can be a good thing, but you must remember to take a step back when things get too rough and stressful for you about something you can't directly effect as an individual. If you need to direct your energy to just surviving and taking care of yourself, you don't need to participate in whatever's happening elsewhere.
I don't think anyone is stressed about things happening all over the world. People are stressed about their personal lives and use news to distract themselves.
But they end up worse, at least with news is not a great distraction@@MrCmon113
@@MrCmon113I stress about things happening in other parts of the world. Not saying you should. People have different personality types, for some humanitarian issues are easier to ignore than others. Not judging just letting you know it’s a real issue for some people.

@@michellemartinez7962Me too, I have all my life. I'm really empathetic and have a strong sense of justice. My own life might be going fine, but there's always something awful happening to someone, and I'm driven to understand it and maybe speak up for them. It's both a gift and a curse.
Please guys do not give up on humanity. It’s hard to wake up and feeling the heaviness of everything just pushing you deeper and deeper. I struggle to sleep, and wake up early, feeling like nothing is real but everything is also really fucked up. Can’t stop watching stupid reels everyday like a drug addict. But I feel something Inside that tells me to go on and hustle, to change my life and help the people who need help. Maybe I am just dreaming, and I will die lonely and depressed, maybe I will even do it myself, but that one warm feeling inside makes me stand up every time I feel like complete shit on the bottom of the fucking floor.

Hi! There's a lot of people who care about you despite not knowing you. Cliche, I know, but this truth hit me like a giant truck one day, impossible to ignore. If you allow my 2 cents regarding how to feel better: 1 - get a bicycle and go out daily and 2 - get a dumbphone.
"hustle culture" is what got us into this retarded mess
🤗virtual hug
Your heart is beating because God of the universe has a purpose for you my man. He loves you more then anything in the world, and more then anything in heaven. God loves you so much that He sent Himself to die so you don’t have to, Jesus was separated from God so you can be connected to God. Their is no good in the world, their is only good in God, and people who choose to accept and run after God. Jesus is very real, and He died, and was buried, and Rose again, and unless any man be born again (born of the water and spirit, just like a baby, when a baby is born they are born from water, then they breath in air), He shall never be with God. But those that believe in God and in His son Jesus shall never taste death, indeed the water He shall give them shall become a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Jesus Loves you so much, and God has had so much grace and compassion for you, their is only hope in God, hope without God is no hope at all, and life without God is no life at all. Thats why Jesus came, so that anyone who believes in Him shall be connected once again to God and experince the life God wanted wach and every one if us to have, a life where we are Gods, and He is ours. My boast is in the Lord, and the the cross, if i raise up any other name then the name of Jesus, or preach any other gospel then the gospel of Christ, may I be accursed.
God loves you, me, and those that kill Him more then anything. I love you too man. I hope this message finds you and you learned something today. Peace! ✝️
The sad thing is that entertainment media used to coexist healthily in real life. Back when people had DVD’s, it was a pro-social activity, encouraging people to loan out their favorite movies or bring it somewhere to watch with friends. Gaming used to mean sharing a couch and snacks together. And before theaters and malls became prohibitively expensive, they were great places to hang out. I hate what this world has become.
If life was not as expensive outside I would not feel stuck inside
Sam what I was thinking
Give us our third places back
Excuses
@@chillandserveexcuses for you. Not everybody has a third place or lives in a great neighborhood. Get off your high horse.
Nice mindset 😂 👍
This video is so good, I love how making the room walls tall really make it look like she’s trapped in a box. The phone trapped her further, and then the city... the feeling of being confined with no escape.
The framing and zoom really capture just how detached from nature we are, how stuck we are in a world that kills nature and forces our attention away from it.
if you think about it humans truly are a horrible invasive species
Just.. go for a walk. Go hiking. Go outside. Nature is everywhere
People like you nowadays choose to do something they hate and whine about how caged in they are and locked away from the nature.
Something tells me that is not a problem of the modern world. The modern world merely made everything extremely easy...including feeling miserably. You choose to feel miserable
@@andrefasching1332 as if its easy to find it
thank you for being one of the few to understand that the squalid apartments are at least as much of a problem as the phone. It's a lot easier to put your phone down than it is to get out of urban sprawl. cities are horrible.
I feel like the main problem is the fact that everyone goes on their phone every day and its so normalized now. I'm not saying phones in general are bad, because they connect us to our friends and everything, but it can also cause social isolation. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. Phones kind of consume your attention, change your attitude, and tempt you to mindlessly scroll because your in person life is too boring.
Imagine we live in a time before the internet. Where we would have friends that want to come over or hangout at a regular spot you visit. Instead of being by ourselves scrolling or playing games with people you will never meet. A simpler time.
This hits me so much, I feel dizzy and kinda distorted whenever I get in that situation-just scrolling on social media looking for something, some satisfaction while having these heavy feelings and getting pessimistic about things. Then after a few minutes, everything would go back to normal, I could breathe well, especially when connecting to nature-me gardening at home, doing some real stuff that makes my day productive. In short I think we should not be drowned in social media that most of the time these days bring unworthy news and information infecting our minds. Mental health is really important, get up and do some meaningful things that'll help you with your personal development.
In the past, I would resonate to this a lot, but lately, anytime I need a break emotionally, I just draw stars and make whatever doodles in my sketchbook
can i be your friend, i'd love to see your sketchbook artwork

Hello
I had goosebumps when the girl was panicking,i have felt the same,it was damn relatable and a masterpiece
The entire internet has started to make me feel completely existential about myself, from my morality to my identity to even questioning what the point of being alive and enjoying anything is, and even with something like TH-cam being the only social media that I’m on, it’s still hard sometimes to handle all of this stuff. I think maybe I just need to find some human connection in this new setting I’ve put myself in
My favorite part about this is that even if you are aware of this problem (like maybe you reading this rn) you are still doing nothing to solve it. We’re trapped in it.
This hit me like a train...sorry
"Hey, you, individual in an 8 billion wide problem. This is all on YOU to personally fix everything for everyone else! GET ON THAT SHIT!"
nah man, the collective guilt that you're peddling is *also* a huge part of the problem. Miss me with that nonsense.
@@Phoenix0F8they could also be talking about the personal problem of being addicted to social media. in which case it is their responsibility to better themselves. even then being a doomer about it only makes it harder to move forward
We could always learn how to and actively create our own country
Bringing awareness to the problem is one way of doing something though, so commenting isn't doing nothing even if it feels like nothing
i hate that the world is so small nowadays. the internet has desensitized us all. it’s made it so easy to get involved and have opinions on things that have absolutely no bearing on your own life. to think that things halfway across the world *actually* affect us individually, to think that we need to get involved, to speak out, as if just words have ever actually done anything.
A lot of older people like to harp on kids for being addicted to their phones, but when you look at the world they left us, you realize why that addiction so easily takes root.
They left us an industrial hellscape that makes you pay to be alive.
Who the fuck wants to live in that?
This made me cry a bit. Maybe I’m just addicted to my phone but I know it’s only to shut off the torrent of thoughts and emotions for a while, but it’s intense when it comes back. We aren’t made for this. To feel so isolated and addicted to a screen, absorbed our little boxes of isolation. Never seen a piece of media capture this very unique and specific feeling so well
Jesus loves yall and died for us! Jesus calls for all of us to repent!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
Nature is what we lost and destroyed 👉The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🙏
God has put us here on this earth for a True Purpose.
Jesus has come, to save sinners: He Loves us too greatly, He was willing to be mocked, scorned, bled on the cross, yet even having the power to save Himself, He did not because of the will God had for Jesus, and that was to save us. Through Him, when we believe, Jesus trades His perfect, eternal, sinless Life with our sinful, mortal life, and therefore our sin is put upon Him, and Christ took upon the wrath of God we deserved. He is the true Lord and Saviour, with His death and ressurection done once and for all.
Does this give us an excuse to sin? Absolutely not. How can we, who are dead to sin after Jesus died for our sins, continue in sin deliberately? God does forgive us and cleanses us, restores us and makes us new when we repent.
Is this unfair judgement? God is not unjust, He is Fair, and Righteous. But because God knows that no one is perfect, and that everyone has sinned, His sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for us, so that we may inherit eternal Life, and be made blameless.
Jesus Saves, and Loves you all.
God bless.
@@highestpeeqs9532Amen, God bless.
Nobody's forcing you to use your phone.
Im just so glad that i never got into short-form content like tiktok, etc. Yeah sometimes i might watch like 1-10 shorts but i always stop before i feel like its addicting me.
The internet is a tool. Use it for negative things and you will be depressed. Use it for positive things and you will be happier.
It's refreshing to see someone else call the internet a tool. That's exactly what I use it for, for the most part. It's all in moderation.
guys, social media is a prison. please take control of your life before it’s too late. i wish i’ve done it sooner because it only made it harder for me to escape the longer i waited. if you feel exhausted, if you’re just mindlessly scrolling, please take a moment and think of something better you could be doing. that’s what completely changed me and i’m doing 10x better already by just going outside my room for some time and listening to my favorite songs while i ponder and eat.. it really does make a difference if you slowly detach yourself from what’s holding you back from your freedom. take control, don’t let it consume you! even if you’re starting off with little steps, it will take you far.
Profound and obviously relatable. Love that you added the "everything is within you" piece. Feels like we have all the resources in the world, so it's somehow OUR failure when we arent able to stay focused and do everything we want.
because it is. i'm not ashamed to admit that i need to do better

Worry not of things you can't control but focus on the things that are within your reach.
Remember, nobody forces you to do that, it's your decision.
And while habits can stick with us for an annoying while they should never be mistaken as instinct.
Habits are a double edged sword.
It is on you to sharpen the right side
Where there's a will, there's a way
Correct
As much as I hate to admit it, this is painfully true. I’m using social media too much only to give me a sense of hope and motivation but it instead leave me feeling numb and unfulfilled.
I’m feeling best when I take a walk outside or when I exercise.
Thank you for creating this relatable animation, I hope it will help other people getting out of this vicious circle.
Even if youre having a lazy day, getting out just a little bit can have a huge difference. Ive found that reading outside or going to the gym can do a lot to help prevent that numb fuzziness i get in my head. Also try to avoid absentminded scrolling. You still dont want to do too much of them but in my experience things like video games or movies are more intellectually and emotionally resonant and less overwhelming, so you wont get that feeling of malaise, at least not as quickly. Stay feeling guys
beautifully put as someone who's recently been trying to recover from all this brain sludge... and the use of Desperately Safe from OFF sent chills down my entire body- awesome reference!!!
This is such a visceral visual description of the negative control that kind of exposure has on our lives and the addiction we’ve developed to it, as well as the wonderful close out on the pure isolation we’ve experienced as a society, living in a world where we are inherently without contact and community. Wonderful work overall
I immediately recognized Machinarium’s music, that soundtrack resonates with me so hard, it’s been with me what feels a lifetime. Beautiful video!!!
looking for this comment! I recognised it instantly and was filled with so much happiness and needed to see if someone else recognised it!
The outside of the room in this video looks kinda like it's located in Machinarium as well
i was going to comment that i recognized OFF's music at the end
I think the creaking metal sound is the exact same as fallout 4
i'm legit so happy. I love that soundtrack and game i listen to it all the time and i'm so happy to come across it in the wild
My great-grandma, who's 101 years old and has published 4 books, told me a few weeks ago that modern technology fills the user's mind to the point that they can no longer be creative because inspiration requires a clear mind and being in-touch with your emotions and the world around you. She doesn't have a computer and never uses the internet. The most modern technology she has is a flip-phone. She lives on a farm in rural Puerto Rico. We are penpals via snail mail.
Wow.
I know I am not the only one that feels like humans evolved way further technologically than we were supposed to, we’re supposed to have to do real physical labor to survive, there’s a reason people are depressed. Now most people go sit at a cash register to fulfill another man’s dream all while making barely enough to survive.
"EVERYTHING YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING"
This hits deep.....this has literally been my life and I don't know how to escape because I feel trapped in society and trapped in this prison box while society constantly demands I change when society is what cornered me into this lifestyle to begin with. There's plenty I want to do if I had PHYSICAL access but I don't. All I ever have is virtual access with virtual friends who no longer associate with me both virtually nor physically.
Shoutout to the loving voice of Ram Dass
When the OFF music hit I got chills! Amazing video, I love the tone it gives off.
Desperately safe hits different
i feel like social media is the worst thing to ever happen to us
somehow 'social media' has made us less social and the world feels a whole lot smaller
Who tf is "us"? YOU are scrolling aimlessly and YOU can stop doing that.
@@MrCmon113. It’s more complicated than that. Let people vent.
@@junebunny0712 No it isn't.
Social Media is amazing.
And nobody's forcing you to use it 😂
Every time I spent my day on social media, I have always has this profound guilt within because I am aware that this should not be the thing I will be doing.
of all people to use "desperately safe" in an animation you have by far and large used it best. genuinely teared up when i heard it here. i used to boot up OFF and just hang out in the library world so i could listen to that song and cry a bit, youre the first person ive seen to capture what it felt like to hear it for the first time. i dont think we were made for this either
I just wish they credited it in the description.
I swear i immediately heared it when it came on
I loved this video. It’s exactly how I was feeling looking through social media. Seeing everyone’s artificial perfect happy life through a post or a story was really depressing to me at a time where I was going through bad stuff. In December of last year I made the decision of deleting all social media apps on my phone and I think it’s the best decision I’ve taken this year so far
to who ever made this thank you, I have felt off for quite sometime like emotionally numb and this video added some much needed clarity in my life.
Over stimulation is disconnecting us from the present moment. We need to be the change
0:58 it's "Jiktyi Olkh" for anyone wondering
oh
but also "desperately safe" from off soundtrack
NO IT'S NOT. It's only sampled there. The original is from the OFF ost. The game and its soundtrack is literally old enough to drink have kids and drive a car not this new song that sampled the sh.
This resonates with me a lot. The tap of a phone could show you things going on in other places that you don’t want to see, opinions you don’t want to hear. Constant negativity flooding your mind before you even get out of bed. It’s not healthy, and I’m glad there are others who too recognize this problem.
...and won't do anything about it.
@@Game_Hero 💀
Random thought but
I recognized the skyscraper sounds immediately: flalout 4. Mad respect for you using those.
I struggle with this animation, because i feel like our lives are so mundane and bland. I see all of these video games showing fantastical, impossible worlds that are so beautiful and i can only hope to exist/live in them sometimes. Then i turn it off, and I'm left in the real world. My life right now has been me working my butt off to make money, to make my college grades, and finally(as of recent) graduate college. It just feels so off knowing that i wanted to explore this world in my own way, in a different time or place...somrtimes alone, sometimes with a person, or group. I just feel like life right now is just hard to face because i have to live with the fact that my expectations are completely unreal.
I always get worried I'll sound delusional daying stuff like this. I don't video game as much as i talk about, but I'm one of those people who daydream and build worlds in my mind and i always look back at this one and just feel unhappy. So much unhappiness in the world, so many messed up things i can't change, and all the life in what we have kind of drains out.
The worlds gotten more exciting for me these past few years however and i think maybe my dullness was found in surfing the web. I think its time i get out more and explore stuff on my own.
Fallout 3, but perhaps they reused it in 4.
@@CarboKillthey were used in both
Lol how generic. Dude got "mad respect" for using a SFX from a overrated game. Goofy af lmfao
I mean you can literally create a sort of fantasy world yourself in real life , just not have powers and stuff, but even that can be possible with techonology, money, and Magic, Magic is real, not in the way you think but whatever, you can do many things if you put your mind to do it
@@warpdarkmatter chronically online
This animation feels like my psychosis... in a good, heard way. I know it's rather more about social media/the internet/technology but wanted to share because your animations make me feel very happy and understood. Thank you so much. ♥
The thing about scrolling is that it isolates you, you feel like there’s so much happening in the world and you not part of it, you are just the watcher while others are living. Ever been left behind while your friends went on a school trip/camp? You felt sad, alone and couldn’t wait for them to return, that’s how scrolling feels like but worse because it feel like you have to go to the school trip and join your friends instead of waiting for them to return but instead you know you can’t just do that. Sm is beneficial for the owners and content creators. We know people we aren’t even supposed to know, we are told what to think and how to think. Unfortunately the human brain wasn’t created for this.
omg you just said it what i was thinking
The Internet, man. Love the static representing how time consuming and overwhelming it can be. 👍
Please make another one in which she leaves the city, gets a cosy house with a garden, a dog, a cat, and is truly happy.
you do such an amazing job setting a tone and mood with every video you make, genuinely moves me whenever you post. love the work
Just turned 25 and I can’t take it anymore. It’s so bad for us. I’ve reached the point where I’ve uninstalled all social media from my phone (only on my tablet now- with screentime restrictions). Some days I even set my screen display to grayscale mode. A bit extreme, yeah, but it seriously kills any desire to stare at my device. Trying to find my way back to reading books, drawing, fitness, going outside, etc.
Thank you so much for making this animation. The internet needs more insightful content like this 🫶🏻
Hey if you want to do new things you could try reading atomic habits, tldr for the tasks you mentioned would be; read 1 page; have your sketchbook open on your desk with a pencil; have your exercise mat in a very visible or even annoying place, lay it out and do some stretches; get ready to go outside and just step out of your house.
I can't promise this would work for you but its currently helping me
truly i hope things get better, i'm in a similar spot
You might as well go back into the woods for the full experience ☺️
I hope it works out for you mate. Even I'm facing the same struggle. Addicted to scrolling. I've uninstalled all social media apps but can't uninstall youtube hence waste tons and tons of time here on these youtube shorts. I've too put a lot of restrictions on my phone but still end up doing the same thing. They should give an option to disable YT Shorts. Or even uninstall TH-cam. But then I'm worried I'll come here from chrome. I guess self-control is the only way this will be possible to do. Because of these things everyday I end up fucking up my schedule. And study less than I'm supposed to. I sleep less. I skip some important things sometimes like studying or workout. I feel so exhausted after these scrolling sessions and sometimes grumpy or headaches and those guilt trips. I don't know what to do anymore.
this is what everyone needs to hear, good comment.
imo, fitness is one of the biggest stepping stones to use in your journey away from any kind of addiction, social media included. it completely removed my dependency on certain things on the internet, and i always feel good after a workout. fitness needs to be promoted more.
this video is modern art and will be recognized as such one day. brilliant. the ending was quite emotional as well. so much was said so poignantly without a single word. idk, i think this video is really special and speaks for an entire generation. love it
This was the reminder I so sorely needed. Because of you I took a lovely walk, made progress on my work, and even generated some new ideas. Thank you and here's hoping the algorithm looks favorably on this one

The Adventure Time style transitioning to the smoother hatched line type style was smooth af
This reminds me, earlier today I went to the hospital to visit my younger brother, and sitting there, I saw both him and our mom on their phones endlessly scrolling. I was the only one sitting there with my phone in the pocket and it felt isolating. Here I am in a room with family members and they don’t want to really be social physically, they just rather scroll endlessly while occasionally being like, “look at this video”
It’s sad, it’s depressing, it’s isolating, and while I was there, I felt alienated
Thank you for creating this amazing animation. Love the choice of using an OFF track.
Digital s/h and doom scrolling then obsessing about the topics I see is something I've been dealing with more recently thats taken a toll on my mental health. So many horrible and depressing things that we have almost instantaneous access to 24/7. It's hard to stop myself once I start but I'm trying to work on it with my therapist.
Thanks for this and your other animations. They're so human and beautiful
Machinarium soundtrack hits hard, great choice for the feeling you're trying to get across.
Thats it im going to sleep, thanks for reminding that there is a wonderful world to explore tomorrow if i have enough sleep.
The tension and melancholy, the apathy and anxiety, all portrayed perfectly in only a minute and thirty four seconds. It shows how hopeless it feels to be living this life, but at the same time, when the camera pans out to show the whole city, you see there's just as much hope too. The world is still out there. It's waiting for us.
ur style reminds me a lot of adventure time. its giving, its slaying, and its serving. i love it
The second I heard “Machinarium - The Glasshouse With Butterfly” I was like aight, I gotta watch this. Great music choice. Live that game and it’s OST.
Your character reminds me of Adventure Time especially 0:36, it looks straight from Adventure Time. I think it’s extraordinary to be honest.
This really hits when you watch it just before midnight and realize all you've done all day is doom scroll.
