      If you say:
      "If we all go together, we are gona fight"
      Then you annoy everyone and you end up fighting, you were technically right, but everyone will hate you.
      Then also, if you go to a theatre, and keep criticising everything, you are annoying.
      Then theres a thing called a "bias".

      meanwhile i’m overly negative and not realistic, i believed i’d fail my english papers and i had so much anxiety, and had breakdowns about it.
      i got the highest score in my grade 💀 i also talk negatively so much that people probably think i’m attention seeking, i just wish i’d be more positive because i’m always positive about others but not myself

    yea, i kinda relate to this a lot, and i used to be so cynical and pessimistic, but i came to realize that not everyone is bad and not everyone will hurt you like those that hurt you. And that even if you are down in a dark pit, u can always find a way out if you try. i find that that mindset stopped me from being motivated and kept me from truly showing my loving nature towards people that i truly love and care about. so whoevers going through rough times and depression, take ur time, breathe, vision yourself free from that stressful situation, work towards it slowly 1 step at a time, and dont be afraid to find comfort from the people who truly loves you and would only want you to succeed. i would not have made it out from this dark pit without the people around me

    Truth tellers punch hole in peoples' facades, and do not engage in the magical thinking that most do. They don't suffer the endemic cognitive dissonance that plagues our society. As a result, they are often demonized and cast out of peer groups, looked down upon by family, and labeled derogatory names by those in charge. They often say what needs to be said when no one else is capable and often pay the price for saying it. We also know that this is a losing battle. No wonder we're depressed.

Due to the dominant ignorance of the masses, people are extremely easy to manipulate toward one political opinion, and it's usually the ones screwing the world up the most that gain the greatest traction.
      Acts of kindness are fleeting and short-lived, and ultimately meaningless when no real change is brought about. Life is a constant cycle of agony and temporary resolution, as it is the law of the world that matters always return to the worse, because human society is not built to be sustainable. There will always be significant differences in people's socioeconomic situations, and those with the most wealth look to secure their dominance.
      There are a great number of smaller-scale issues that people suffer from, from rough social life to questions of identity. And the world at large is coldly indifferent to these issues, rejecting questions in favour of authoritative assertions of status quo.
      I am the type of person this video talks about. I am the kind of person who would agree with the necessity of the abhorrent morals of Thanos and Eren. The world is broken, dysfunctional and in favour of those fitting its pre-defined mold, and the only way to fix it would be to deny the human nature. But nobody in real life would have such power, the means or conviction, and so those living in the shadow of this realization live in darkness, because we know the light is a conditional presence. We surrender to our powerlessnes.

Especially when everyone knows you're the best therapist, but keep in mind reciprocity and if they wont help that in return, you dont have to always be the hero for someone who wont treat you with the same kindness and love.

    As someone who has had depression before, as well as having CPTSD and being an AuDHDer, My default existence is partly-closed looking eyes, a sombre resting expression, and a low, matter of fact voice. I also happen to be goth, and this all tends to make people think I’m depressed occasionally.
    But I am not. Rather, I dress in dark garb as respects to those taken before their time, known to me and otherwise, the world over. I am at peace with the less rose tinted area of reality. I suppose that’s sort of the inverse to this: while no longer depressed, I can be quite insightful and deep at times, which I suspect is because I still retain that manner of seeing the entirety of the picture, good and bad in equal measure. Because that’s life. And that’s okay.
    TLDR; it’s fine to simply be objectively minded at times, instead of creating false hopes or needless worries.

  • @torpid5092

    I think a lot of this is a matter of perspective, like in the “why they failed a presentation” part, the depressed person may have given it everything they had and been perfectly prepared, but genuinely did fail because of bad luck.
    They would be more likely to attribute their failure to being unprepared, when it may have genuinely been something else.
    It is basically a question of “am I being realistic or pessimistic?”

    People who aren't in agitated (positive or negative) states see things less distorted than others, and are more realistic and consequently have a higher probability to be depressed.
    However, seeing life is suffering and meaningless in an overarching way doesn't mean that there's we can't assign it a worthwhile meaning.
    One such meaning is helping reduce suffering of those who can't help themselves.

    As a pearson who struggled with depression, it's literaly how i felt - the pink glasses was taken off and i started seeing things how they really were. But this actually made me even more depressed. For example when you realise that riches export wars just to earn even more money, and those brainwashed minios are going to military, bc they pay them (and that's just tip of the iceberg) - how on earth you can be happy living in such an evil world, it feels literally like hell. At this point i feel like happiness is just ilussion, bc idk what you can be happy about living in such a world. But the fair point mentioned in the video is that in depression negative things are so amplified, that you can be blinded to positive ending of any situation, and you just dont see any light and loose hope. And loosing hope is so painfull, bc when you loose hope the only thing you want is death

    This video seems well structured for being a really short one. At least it made sense to me, even though it only marked things with few words.
    I think I have some form of extreme pessimism, when I'm actually in situation that optimism would be really helpful to get back on my feet.
    I don't currently have life threating problems, but deep inside I'm convinced that long-term things are likely to get bad and would make all my efforts to stay strong, active and optimistic pointless.
    The problem is statistics only reinforce my pessimism. Sure for now the risk is still low, but it's growing with time.
    I feel I'm living my last days or more likely it feels like I'm dying slowly, like I'm dead already and just waiting in the Limbo.
    I have a specific and practical plan how to end it - I've been living with it for the last 2 and a half years.
    But it was supposed to be a way to save myself (and my closest) the slow degrading decline, before the inevitable ... but at the moment at least it seems the "inevitable" is postponed at least.
    So my final plan seems irrational. But so are my depression and apathy, and it seems they're currently ruling over me :/
    How to find the focus and motivation to do the simple ordinary things that would sustain my life and would allow me to see the good things in it?

    I've experienced both rationalism and depressive realism. The most simple difference is in rationalism. You don't lose hope, you don't give up on life, and you don't stop looking for a solution to your problem. Overall, you don't give up on yourself or your life. But in depression you lose hope and give up on both life & yourself.

  • @ukstationaudits8679

    A few (or alot) of comments are saying alot of stuff about their negative experiences which I find pretty interesting enough to make my own comment on it.
    My experience with this world is alot of things really. When it comes to my feelings, personally I don't feel too much. It feels abit numb, and empty, yet I have alot of goals and dreams. I wanna do alot of things despite how I may feel. My actions are towards the betterment of myself. With the way the world's headed, freedom is becoming everso restrictive. I don't see how I could make an huge impact on the world that would change it so drastically that you could make things better.
    So I don't bother overthinking in that department. When I see society as a whole with this generation of lesser minded people, they're all cattle. Moving along with this world's system and doing whatever it is they wanna try achieve. Going after meaningless goals that doesn't actually make them feel any better. They feel useless, and unfulfilled. That's my view on it atleast.
    If you think I'm talking about depression, it's not necessarily meant to be that way. I'm not a depressed person myself, but I sure as hell know I got a nihilistic view on this world when it comes to making a greater impact in the world. Especially how it will all be in the end. You can try changing things that could either start making a bigger impact on yourself, or maybe a whole group of people if your lucky, but anything bigger than that and it will be meaningless. You just won't be able to do it. Any and all impact made will only be on an individualistic scale, no matter how hard you try to make it more than that.
    (To sum it down, greater actions in this generation are meaningless). You can do small things, but your restricted from doing any greater things. You have no greater freedom.
    Things that would normally be shamed, are welcomed with open arms. So many studies and statistics support this if you decide to dig in deep further and look at the truth yourself. You just have to look in the right places.
    Tell me what your experience are! Would love to see different takes on this.

    After watching this video, I feel the need to ask some questions:
    1 Do you guys think those who are aggressive warhawks are now being portrayed as logical realists while those who are peace-loving doves are being portrayed as idealistic fools by the mainstream media?
    2 Are peoples like Hange and Armin too optomistic to the point of being nothing naive and foolish idealists for refusing to see that Marley as a nation is nothing but a bully that likes to do whatever they wanted because they are the most powerful one around? The same can be said about Queen Calca from Overlord as well.
    3 If what I said about the media in the first one is proven to be true, why the media promoted this kind of thing? Why promoted the idea of using violence and military actions as the solutions to all problems in the first place?
    I asked these questions because until recently, I used to be a depressive and aggressive warhawk who used what happened to me in the past, what I've read in history of humanity in general and my desire for equality for everyone to justify my aggressive personality and my "zero tolerance" policy against the bullies when feeling threatened. So was I wrong for being a warhawk? Was I wrong for believing in the school of thought known as Legalism that preached that all humans are inherently evil and very selfish creatures that needed to be controlled?

He would says "That has to happened" while the other part say "That shouldn't EVER happened".
    But he wants one thing: fun. Even on shittiest thing that's help with the "survival" of his being.

    Logic makes you aware and reality is sad and depressing ignorance is a bliss

    It's too real I'm not smart but in comforting someone and talking reality and what going to happen ❤

    Kinda. I analyze and compartmentalize everything so that things make sense and i dont have to retrace my tracks. Mistakes can be avoided with self awareness. Im not really depressed. Just see things from a lot of angles and take everything into consideration. Those perspectives may discourage other people with underlying complexes around uncertainty or failure. Which is irrelevant. And sad lol

    Did any of you think you may have it backwards? Logical, clear thinking people develop depression, not the other way around.... usually caused by the emotional small minded nitwits we have to deal with on a day to day basis.
