      Like grant I would space and pass the fuck out in class, work, And space out in Conversations. Being me is kinda hard, (especially if u might have a chance of having autism sadly) but at least I got friends and family and caring people.

    Damn...I could totally relate to you and Luigi. Trust me. Hell, I always preferred Luigi over Mario because I could totally see myself in him. I always argued that I liked him because he seemed better than Mario from a physical stand point, but really it was all just because I saw myself in him so much. Especially with the whole "ideal self" thing. I've always wanted to be a hero. I've always wanted to be in the limelight, to be respected and admired. I always wanted to be known as a selfless, brave hero. But in situations where push comes to shove, I get incredibly scared, and I want to run. I want to run away so much. Not only that, but like with the dream Luigi had about the airship crashing, there are plenty, PLENTY of times where I worry to a point of unrealism. Even when in the moment of fear I know that it'll never happen, I can't help but feel on edge, adrenaline pulsing through me. Thank you so much for making this video, Treesicle, and Grant...let's hope that we both get over our anxiety.

    • @thamilini9436
      @thamilini9436 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I preferred Luigi too, but that was becouse Mario and many other characters were unrealistically adventurous or brave. People have to be honest and say that if they saw a lighting strike in the back behind a nightmarish horror mansion and a door *goddamn* *shut’s* behind them by itself, would be in some way traumitized and definetly severly traumitized after seeing ghosts in dark horrific places wandering around like they should be, instead of being a normal ... whatever ... and stay in heaven or hell.

      I can 100% relate. First of all, I'm very prone to the nightmares; I've fallen out of bed a few times because of it. It literally gets so bad that I have to pray to NOT dream at all out of fear of the nightmares. Most of my nightmares are about a car crash or a plane crash. I startle so easily the people around me laugh. I once nearly hit my head on the ceiling because I startled so intensely that I jumped THAT high! I never have to clip my nails because I bite them off. I had a big brother recently ship off, and soon my twin is too, and that gives me worries (WORRIES IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.) I do in fact space out. And add insult to injury, my twin (that I mentioned earlier) has it all together, meanwhile, I'm a damn mess; I AM an awkward mother f***er. I doubt I have a full on anxiety disorder, but I am very prone to anxiety attacks.

  • @bunnyninja4127

    I don't know why, but near the end of this video i started crying.
    I just feel sorry for Luigi and can relate to him in some ways and he is also my favorite character in the games (next to Yoshi) and it makes me feel sad to see him like that. Even though its his personality or something like that, I still feel sad.
    Now I know what he's feeling and it makes me want to cry even more.
    I personally think that there should be more games where Luigi is the main character because I feel like he gets underestimated because Mario's always in the spotlight and Luigi is just his shadow. And also because Mario is always the one saving the day and Luigi is on the sidelines, watching. And I know that he helps out Mario in some games,, and i'm not saying he's weak or anything bt his attack strength is lower than Mario's, even just by a little. Now you all might think differently but this is what I think.
    I think that I sometimes get too attached to fictional characters cause I feel like I know whats happening to them, even though i'm not going though anything like that.

    Grant I really want to thank you for this because you explained the way I act irl perfectly, I can totally relate to you when it comes to overthinking everything (for example on Friday I was walking home on a beautiful sunny day and I was thinking about everything I'm doing wrong in my life, when nothing bad even happened recently) and every time I'm around other people its like they see my every movement as stiff and awkward and I constantly wonder what people think when they see me. *and 10,000 more examples* Social awkwardness aside, I really hope more people see your videos because you are amazing at what you do. So again thank you for showing us the different side of the story, the story of our lives, and the story... WE NEVER KNEW!

    dude, i always thought i saw a lot of myself in Luigi like overthinking, nervousness, fears that the people he loves the most will get hurt. hell, in Dream Team, at the bit where Dreamy Luigi becomes one with the stars, there's all these messages of braveness and positivity, but then there's one that just says "Don't leave me." and that _really_ hit home for me, and shows that we're both afraid of people leaving us. i think that's part of why i love Luigi as a character so much, he's relatable and i'm able to connect with him on a deeper level.

  • @Fable_Bloodworth
    @Fable_Bloodworth 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I actually do feel for both you and Luigi, Grant. I've suffered from GAD since I was in grade school but I've managed it in my own way, mostly creative writing and drawing and such but I do still find my mind wandering from time to time and current issues in my life aren't making those zone-outs any better. We all make our own progress in such things and have our own setbacks as well. What matters is you keep pushing until you find what works and keep going with it whether it's playing a sport, working with your hands, or (in my case) writing tons of fanfiction to occupy those feelings of anxiety with something akin to pride and success. Keep trucking my friend!

  • @intensegamer24_52
    @intensegamer24_52 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What I got out of this is that Luigi always looks up to his brother, and when he saw Mario screaming, he did the same. And it stuck to Luigi so much, it went on to his adulthood.

  • @unemployedscholar4320
    @unemployedscholar4320 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Enjoyed your highly-detailed and well-researched analysis of Luigi. That it's due to how his brain is because of generalized anxiety disorder is very compelling based on Luigi already having delayed reactions and also him still being nervous/scared even after the events of Luigi's Mansion. His sleep patterns, anxiety-fillled nightmares, and lack of mind-body integration was also compelling evidence. This is the first video analysis that argues Luigi's apparent stupidity is actually a result of his mind racing and an overabundance of thoughts.
    An alternate explanation, based on Luigi's characterization in the TV show, that Luigi had it together in mundane situations, but repeated exposure to strange peril left him persistently terrified, though I do like your explanation of Luigi having generalized anxiety disorder.
    It's hopeful that after the events of Luigi's Mansion, Luigi's self-conception as expressed by his dreamworld self is greatly improved. There's another aspect to that though, and that Luigi's actualizing of his confident dream self has so far only been manifested in a dark self, since he redirects his insecurities outward against the world, and primarily against Mario. Luigi's history as the neglected bro then comes fully into play, even though Luigi's idiosyncracies have been with him all his life.
    Those very idiosyncracies however, give him an advantage in Super Smash Bros., and he's fairly elegant fighting in midair, his Negative Zone brings the other characters into his disoriented world, and his gentle, self-effacing kick sends even the mighty Mewtwo careening to temporary doom.
    If Luigi freeing himself from his constant barrage of thoughts, worries, and analysis, without also becoming evil, means that he would be confident, fearless, and traditionally heroic, that means he would be a little less introspective. In reality, it's not really a great idea to run into a dark room full of malicious ghosts without cognizance of the hazards. A lot of stuff Mario does is daredevil and he seems to lack an instinct for self-preservation. Luigi might be overly-scared at times, but in a world where flying chestnuts with a spike on their head can bite you, and a poison mushroom actively chases you, then maybe Luigi is reasonable to panic over a harmless cockroach. But then again, Luigi also takes account of every possible and impossible thing that could go wrong, so his anxiety in a lot of cases is disproportionate, as you mentioned, and it certainly is ongoing, and definitely affects his everyday activities, making the level of his anxiety more negative than neutral or positive.
    But as for Luigi's unique flailing fighting style, that might not be determined by him being overanxious/spaced out/overanalytical nor his lack of confidence, but a neurological divergence which affects things like balance and coordination, how one sits, walks, runs, throws, etc. Viewed in this light, anxiety disorder is one part of what shape Luigi's traits, the other parts are his history of being neglected/ignored and his differing neurology.

  • @JoePWI
    @JoePWI 7 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    There is nothing wrong with thinking too much. Heck, it is quite the opposite. Also, there is no need to break out of it. Make use of it instead. Realize the vast advantages you have over non-thinking people. All the knowledge you gathered, all the wisdom. Once you get in touch with it and accept it as a strength instead of a weird personal trade then you will get pride from it and it will empower yourself to hights you could've never even dreamt about reaching.
    I had those sleep-less nights as well. I felt the pain. Now I feel like the king of the world :P

  • @beepbeepdespair
    @beepbeepdespair 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Another element that supports that bit about him struggling to sleep is the thing with sleep and pillows: I mean, I don't know much at all about the Mario universe, but I can see the link. That portal only opened when he was asleep, and in his dream the monster came out of a pillow, which shows he's afraid of sleep.

    Good theory, finally some dang research done into the thing one is trying to diagnose a character with! My aunt has anxiety disorder, and she actually needs meds to function. She doesn't talk about it much, but this does sound really similar to what experiences she did share with us, or the ones where we experienced together with her. Thanks for not just slapping something on there with incomplete information. If my autistic ass had a Euro for every time I see an obviously neurotypical character getting 'autism' slapped on their heads because they cringed at a loud alarm in that one scene... Well, I'd FINALLY have a well-paying job after a good 3 years of job hunting. xD I mean, there's theories that base literally everything on a scene like like that. Good to see a channel which actually put in the time to read up on whatever they're trying to prove.

    I can relate to him myself. With every situation that arises, my mind is constantly thinking "What if..?". I have trouble falling asleep without medication, and even if I did get enough sleep, I'd still pass out for a good hour some days because of how much I overtax my brain. I've also just moved houses in January, and lost my father not too long before that, so the stress levels have been kinda high with me.
