It's a way of not having to feel the depth of your pain. We learn this through situations in which we are hurt and lost our trust. It also ain't usual to talk about your true feelings, people sometimes don't know how to even do this, laughing then makes us feel more comfortable.
Was at a cross roads - choosing between Science me, Computer me, Business me...laid off in science, recently graduated from Computers lol ... I hope this me is good enough for the cosmos
True. It requires lots of self-knowledge. Which is hard, especially when you’re not used to spending time with yourself and really taking care of yourself.
Actually quite a complicated question, but we throw it around all the time like it's not. How am I doing?! When one feels and experiences so many different things at once it's hard to even answer that honestly for myself at any given moment.
Sorry to hear that! Some words of encouragement, I hope: Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is objective truth, and once we have Him and learn about His church, life begins to make so much sense. :)

Wow I feel the same....idk why but its so hard for me to open up to people that are close to me....I feel vulnerable and kinda bad too....but at the same time....I feel lonely for never sharing what is really going on
Very true, I can't share my mental illness problems with my family but sometimes TH-cam comments and people on TH-cam give me hope to keep living and not take my own life.
Yeah. From my experience it’s because we probably won’t ever see the person again, so just unloading our heart to them with that in mind can be easier. It’s not like we will go home and see them again, and are around them every day, so momentarily telling them things doesn’t feel as much of a threat. Something like that.
I know for a fact it’s easier to talk to a stranger. providing they’re normal I’d suggest they’d be more objective about my story because they don’t know me & therefore more considerate than judgemental family
i would tell ppl i’m close to about my anxiety, and how i just feel stressed all the time but i’m afraid they’d be mad i didn’t tell them before, and that’d just make me feel even more stressed. i know it probably wouldn’t happen but i can’t convince myself otherwise when i try to talk to ppl irl abt it

So... I understand where you're going with this point. But, like... Being supportive costs nothing. Being a *parent* is like one of the most expensive endeavors you can ever go through.
@Caitilin Reitmeyer There are plenty of people who are happy to give support to others. Few people get the support they want and need from their parents. It only takes one supportive person who makes a difference. But throughout life you can find many along the way. Some are temporary, and some are for a lifetime. Reach out with openess and honesty to people with similar experiences to you. Particularly those who are further along a path you want to go on. It might not be obvious to others that you need or want support. What kinds of support would you like to have? It useful to know what you are looking for. You wrote this comment, and I responded, and I am just one! 💜

Not Bothered it’s been such a big issue forever, but I’m sooooo glad that creators like her are bringing to the forefront, it really makes me so happy. When we can bring it to light and talk about it, healing can begin. ☺️
Ouroboros Institute i don’t think it’s ALWAYS been such a big issue , I think since Today we’re alreay so technologically advanced and we’re so DISCONNECTED from nature we lose a sense of purpose AND this leads to confusion and depression. Its a common problem nowadays especially in first world countries.
Not Bothered If people would get outside of their own little neurotic bubble and off of effn Snapchat and Facebook and Twitter and stop subjecting themselves to criticism and hatred, many would be a lot happier. Everyone is into instant gratification and everything is supposed to come to you without working for it. Blows my mind.

“The world just feels so big right now... There’s so many ‘me’s that could be spread out at this point... and it’s kind of hard to choose which one i want to pursue.” YES, what a good articulation of how I feel so often, especially as I’m going into my last year of highschool...
"I'm scared that I have to work from 9 am to 5 pm for the rest of my life and not do anything I want... I want to figure out how to set myself long term to be happy" Damn... This is tough and might be (probably), the main root cause of depression nowadays.
this hits super hard for me, because seeing my parents and people these days it just seems like at my age (early 20s) noone really knows where they're going or what they should do to be happy. I'm graduating in a couple weeks and i'm terrified thinking about where to go and what to do.
@@hibye-by3yb it's okay not to know where you are going because it takes work experience and a time to self reflect to discover who you are. Be humble, talk to different people, get out of your comfort zone and when you are stressed out take a moment to find peace.

I had these feeling when in university and in my early career. I think something that people could benefit from realizing is that working 9 to 5 isn't going to stop you from living a purposeful life. For me it's almost the opposite. Having a stable work situation enabled me to do MUCH more with the time outside of my "9 to 5".

Hes not reflecting on what he ate, but rather sharing something that bothers him....It obviously concerns him....He may well have an stomach ulcer, or Esophogitis ...which would cause him digestive problems and also give him a gnawing sensation , in his stomach, as the acids build up ....When he eats , it will usually calm the pain and gnawing in his stomach.....but a few hours later, he will get indigestion .....So, poor guy.... He needs to take an alcaline remedy and Magnesium ...
He may be in a dissociative state, or someone who has Alexithymia. He looked like he was really trying to describe emotions... but came up with the description of hunger. That's not really an answer to "how are you doing?" It is hard for some people to answer this question truthfully in general also.

Actually I feel his pain because you can have chronic illnesses and not be diagnosed yet, so he might not know yet that he has a health issue - I know exactly what he's talking about and digestion problems and pains are so awful which isn't really that funny. Just saying
Exactly! I just thought like how could they do this? What ever happened between families they should be there for one and other.. My relationship with my family is awful cuz they're so fuckin bad but.. They will never let me out and throw me on streets!, like mom once said that she hate me and dont want me in her house but she didnt do it for real..
I think now, prices to rent or buy are to high... she has two jobs. Two! And they pay her so shitty. She don't know how she will live without help. On the other hand... she might make enough, she just don't want to give up the comforts in life she will not be able to afford without mom and dads support.... so tough one to jugde, so I will just give her the benefit of the doubt and say that I feel her frustration and growing up is fucking hard, even in our 20's we don't always know how to be an adult..
@@lindamp85 so true, I'm 27 now and still don't feel like a proper adult bc I'm still struggling with shit from when I was young and it's been holding me back. But I'll get there at my own pace just like everyone else :)

It really just depends on why they say they’re happy. If it’s insecurity driving them to be with someone, fine. But it’s natural for people to want relationships, we’re not meant to be alone, whether that be friends, family or significant others. And giving yourself over so someone else, caring about them, giving to them, living unselfishly for more than just yourself really does create happiness. So it’s not sad at all
@@422JE You are right! But at the same time, I really think that we are responsible for our own happiness. Finding someone who you like/love shouldn't be the main reason of feeling good in your life/in your skin. If their happiness is because of that person, they identify happiness with him/her. So if they left, they would be unhappy again.

Reminds me more of the kind of guy who has a crush on his best friend. She keeps complaining about all the guys in her life and when he finally tries to make a move on her she rejects him, the friendship breaks down and she goes complaining to their other friends about how he hit on her while she was vulnerable.
Honestly, I'm depressed and stressed and scared. I'm afraid of being alone and I'm fighting my own battles. Physically life is great but I don't give myself enough credit, I over think everything, stress things I shouldn't and I try to make everyone BUT myself happy. I'm insecure about my body and face and its just hard...I'm trying though...
just keep trucking along, life is hard and we all face struggles. but you will overcome any obstacle as long as you push on. You got this, me and 40 others can relate since we liked your comment. your voice is heard! much love and hope the best for you. we are all in this together!
I swear I'd cry if I was asked this. Not the usual "how r doing?" Where I don't really get to be honest because I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time. These videos inspire me and help me become a much better and kinder person. Thank you
“Sometimes you gotta give yourself credit for the things you have accomplished”. This is so spot on. She’s wise. We should all take that seriously. We can often focus on what we don’t have or what we haven’t accomplished, when we should take time to appreciate what we have and what we’ve already accomplished.
I love this series. Something about it makes me see the beauty in every single person. Sometimes my initial reaction to the way someone looks is negative, but then when I see and hear them talk that reaction changes. This shows a lot of different people who look different and have so many different experiences. Some people who are deeply struggling, some people who are deeply happy, and some people who are just reflecting on their lunch. But it also reflects a unity of human experience.

Can you do another “How are you doing, really?” Again? That should be a weekly or monthly video. People really need to be asked that more often
True 😂
You start asking
yes, gives me comfort that I'm not the only one having a tough time much of the time. some real shit.
Mood I want to be asked that
Yes!
"I'm kinda feeling numb.. like I'm not getting better or getting worse"
dang I feel that 😔❤
Want to talk about it? :)
That's where I've been for a while and like the girl said, it's not a good feeling at all.
Ya it's weird, I've been in extreme emotional pain and distress for months and I feel like I'm becoming numb, although I still cry everyday. It seems like improvement in some ways but it sure doesn't feel like it feels better.

@@mifp2498 Long story short, my (ex)GF was cheating on me. Once I found out she just tossed me away like trash and never came home. Been struggling hard, I thought we were gonna spend our lives together, I had boughten her ring and everything. :(
It's interesting how the kid in this video talks about how he feels on that day and time; shows how children live more in the moment.

WoW mental health needs to be taken so much more serious. Its a real big issue these days😢
Very good comment.
Not Bothered it’s been such a big issue forever, but I’m sooooo glad that creators like her are bringing to the forefront, it really makes me so happy. When we can bring it to light and talk about it, healing can begin. ☺️
It's not a mental issue. It's lack of Light in the world
Ouroboros Institute i don’t think it’s ALWAYS been such a big issue , I think since Today we’re alreay so technologically advanced and we’re so DISCONNECTED from nature we lose a sense of purpose AND this leads to confusion and depression. Its a common problem nowadays especially in first world countries.
Not Bothered If people would get outside of their own little neurotic bubble and off of effn Snapchat and Facebook and Twitter and stop subjecting themselves to criticism and hatred, many would be a lot happier. Everyone is into instant gratification and everything is supposed to come to you without working for it. Blows my mind.
I wanna help the first girl so bad...

yes
I feel yoy
you will feel it someday. Just live your real life.
I dont know if you'll read this, but please keep going. I was in that situation too, not so long ago. i almost had no hope, but i just.. kept going. i dont know why but i did. its all about the small little changes. try to make yourself feel better each day, dont rush it and dont take overwhelming big steps. maybe try to take a shower again, a short walk outside. if thats too much for first, its okay. then try opening the curtains just a bit more. try brushing your teeth. but just keep going. because i promise you i promise you, there is light in the end of the tunnel.
"I met someone who feels like home."
"what does home feel like?"
"safe"
i had chills. everything i've ever dreamed of feeling. so happy for her.
Beautiful💯
She's right, it took me finding the right person to realize home is not a place, it has a heartbeat.
I met someone and it felt like that, we were together for 3 and half years and then she cheated on me and tossed me away like trash, I haven't even seen her since I found out she cheated. It's been months and I still cry every day.

if someone smiles while talking about their stress, depression and sadness, watch out for them. Not when they look sad while talking about it.

Watch out for them in what sense? Watch out for them as in be aware that they may be in a terrible place emotionally/mentally or as in watch out they don't smack.you with a hammer when you turn around?

Great for people’s mental health. You’re making a better world.
“The world just feels so big right now... There’s so many ‘me’s that could be spread out at this point... and it’s kind of hard to choose which one i want to pursue.” YES, what a good articulation of how I feel so often, especially as I’m going into my last year of highschool...
Yeah me too I really need to decide where I wanna go and what I wanna do
"I'm scared that I have to work from 9 am to 5 pm for the rest of my life and not do anything I want... I want to figure out how to set myself long term to be happy" Damn... This is tough and might be (probably), the main root cause of depression nowadays.
this hits super hard for me, because seeing my parents and people these days it just seems like at my age (early 20s) noone really knows where they're going or what they should do to be happy. I'm graduating in a couple weeks and i'm terrified thinking about where to go and what to do.
@@hibye-by3yb it's okay not to know where you are going because it takes work experience and a time to self reflect to discover who you are. Be humble, talk to different people, get out of your comfort zone and when you are stressed out take a moment to find peace.
@@350zay2 that's very reassuring, my classmates from highschool all seem stuck. We're all not able to move on except for the few who have their life together which makes us super anxious. Guess we all need to take a step back and go at our own pace because this is our first life. Thanks older person, I was in a mood rn, but you made it better
I had these feeling when in university and in my early career. I think something that people could benefit from realizing is that working 9 to 5 isn't going to stop you from living a purposeful life. For me it's almost the opposite. Having a stable work situation enabled me to do MUCH more with the time outside of my "9 to 5".
I work 8pm to 11am on a baitfish boat pulling nets lol dont be too sad
The "how are you doing, really?" should be a series - I can't get enough of hearing what everybody has to say to this question.

This was very eye-opening at how much everyone else is suffering too cuz sometimes it feels like you’re alone.
I don’t know. There’s some people with great healthy attitudes and executing their found purpose in life and are happy. That is not me.
if you ever interview me for this you better NOT zoom in on my face lol
Lol, same! It’s much too zoomed in
Or just dont appear in the vid at all lol
Zooming in on the face like that cuts out everything and let's you focus on the people talking and the raw emotion in their facial expressions.
lmaoooo
To admit pain. To admit you re feeling weak, lost or lonely is to admit you're human. We're not alone.

This guy 10:21: doing a reflection about what he ate for lunch
He’s like a lower pitched Griffin McElroy
iTs dInNeR TiMe
Such a mood
Hes not reflecting on what he ate, but rather sharing something that bothers him....It obviously concerns him....He may well have an stomach ulcer, or Esophogitis ...which would cause him digestive problems and also give him a gnawing sensation , in his stomach, as the acids build up ....When he eats , it will usually calm the pain and gnawing in his stomach.....but a few hours later, he will get indigestion .....So, poor guy.... He needs to take an alcaline remedy and Magnesium ...
He may be in a dissociative state, or someone who has Alexithymia. He looked like he was really trying to describe emotions... but came up with the description of hunger. That's not really an answer to "how are you doing?" It is hard for some people to answer this question truthfully in general also.
You should do a video called “answer the question you want me to ask”
That's good!
❤️❤️
That's brilliant!
yes!! this!!
I love that idea.

@@MildlyRabid Yes, you are right. But IMO, it looked like, he has a strong, deep burden, and in the midst of it, and because of it, he is humble and respects the small victories and feelings of joy.
I read this comment the same moment he said it
"I'm lonley but I have really great friends"
10:21 This Man is so funny. How he talked about that his stomach doesn’t agree with what he was eating but starting to be hungry again and that feels weird. 😂😂

Actually I feel his pain because you can have chronic illnesses and not be diagnosed yet, so he might not know yet that he has a health issue - I know exactly what he's talking about and digestion problems and pains are so awful which isn't really that funny. Just saying

The girl who's parents asked "where are you going to go?". I'm so sorry for her. Having your parents kick you out is a rude awakening.
That made me really sad
Exactly! I just thought like how could they do this? What ever happened between families they should be there for one and other.. My relationship with my family is awful cuz they're so fuckin bad but.. They will never let me out and throw me on streets!, like mom once said that she hate me and dont want me in her house but she didnt do it for real..
I feel like it’s just part of life if parents didn’t force us to move out we will never do it, you know? But I get you guys it’s tuff
I think now, prices to rent or buy are to high... she has two jobs. Two! And they pay her so shitty. She don't know how she will live without help. On the other hand... she might make enough, she just don't want to give up the comforts in life she will not be able to afford without mom and dads support.... so tough one to jugde, so I will just give her the benefit of the doubt and say that I feel her frustration and growing up is fucking hard, even in our 20's we don't always know how to be an adult..
@@lindamp85 so true, I'm 27 now and still don't feel like a proper adult bc I'm still struggling with shit from when I was young and it's been holding me back. But I'll get there at my own pace just like everyone else :)

It's a bit sad to hear that some people are only doing fine because they've found someone, but they wouldn't be happy if they were single.
Kamilla Paronai i was thinking the same thing, like peoples happiness depends on other people
And when the person disappoints them the depression kicks right back in. We have to be happy within ourselves with or without someone
We were born to have maternal needs. Its natural to want someone.
It really just depends on why they say they’re happy. If it’s insecurity driving them to be with someone, fine. But it’s natural for people to want relationships, we’re not meant to be alone, whether that be friends, family or significant others. And giving yourself over so someone else, caring about them, giving to them, living unselfishly for more than just yourself really does create happiness. So it’s not sad at all
@@422JE You are right! But at the same time, I really think that we are responsible for our own happiness. Finding someone who you like/love shouldn't be the main reason of feeling good in your life/in your skin. If their happiness is because of that person, they identify happiness with him/her. So if they left, they would be unhappy again.
2:22 is it just me, or does he look like that one really cool friend who's nice to everyone and hates no one?

“Sometimes you gotta give yourself credit for the things you have accomplished”. This is so spot on. She’s wise. We should all take that seriously. We can often focus on what we don’t have or what we haven’t accomplished, when we should take time to appreciate what we have and what we’ve already accomplished.
I love this series. Something about it makes me see the beauty in every single person. Sometimes my initial reaction to the way someone looks is negative, but then when I see and hear them talk that reaction changes. This shows a lot of different people who look different and have so many different experiences. Some people who are deeply struggling, some people who are deeply happy, and some people who are just reflecting on their lunch. But it also reflects a unity of human experience.
I agree, I love this channel because it helps me realize how beautiful every single person is.
Damn very well written !!!!!
No matter the question, these videos make me cry every. single. time. Love the authenticity.

It‘s really sad to see that there is literally no one who can say 'I‘m happy‘ with everything that is going on. Everyone is suffering, in any kind of way. That is really sad to know. You go out there and you know that like everyone is suffering somehow. We should care about ourselves more.
