That got me. 🤣
You broke him bro
That was hilarious but also really terrible.
Perfectly cut clips 👌
That, good sir, is an existential crisis.
yea but its even deeper than that
Nihilism.
He has thanatophobia too and depression he needs help man i feel sad for him i was there and still there when i bounce back
@@abdulrahmanraed2725 How does someone with that find help?
@@joelhuh268 by finding help duh
Jeez,Curious George has gotten really dark over the years.
*Curious George got TOO curious*
Lmao
He had too many questions
Curious George got curious about the shrooms it sounds like
Nihilist George
The hilarity of that final comment - dude, it killed me.
I developed that thought when i was 13
@@shuan6723 But, like, the delivery of the comment itself was funny.
Absolutely trolled him at the end
Pun obviously intended its all a simulation there are no 4th or 5th walls.
Absolutely but DAMN
I love how people out here having way too deep convos and some of the VR avatars like winnie the pooh are just giving them this goofy silent smile.
What gets me is Winnie the poohs leg in some videos twitching and flipping around 😂
He seems like a really intelligent person he seems like a good person to have a conversation with
Yeah people don't like convos with us
@Solitude I knew there would be a comment like this. Maybe it's not original but I admire the attempt to have a discussion about it, sure people have *thought* of it before but not many people can put it into words are really talk about it. That's what I believe makes him intelligent.
Yeah the way he talks about reality and existence looks like there is much intelligence here
There are different kind of intelligence.
@@bornesone what are them ?
it’s really weird because i think of the same exact shit this guy does. it gives me so much anxiety to think about death and shit because it’s all confusing.
I know it is, but the Point in Death is to accept/let go and not to be afraid.
i fucking get anxiety from thinking about reality and shit like that as well
In the future maybe the CSI could create an image of reality that’s highly detailed. And with laws of physics and chemistry they could rewind what happened to find the killer.
Somehow they might figure out how to interrupt the program so the victim ended up alive, and he/she became alive, living in that program with her memory and personalities and stuff. And so, they might wanted to trace the past all the way to you, and let you live again. By then all the good deeds you have done would be acknowledged, and appreciated.
What do you think?
Phoenix Burke Same here man, I know how you feel.
I don't have fear for the death itself (however, I don't want to die very soon x'D) but I have some kind of fear and anxiety when I keeps thinking "what's gonna happen after I die?" I know that this belongs to someone's faith, idk, I have these same feelings when I think about our existence/universe, kinda weird
This game has went from being a meme to a rather serious development of cultural significance.
People feel like they can open up and talk on this platform, They can do it in an anxiety free environment free from judgment.... And God willing Jameskii shows up and you’re gonna need even more therapy.
I hope we see this ported as VR becomes more mainstream
Heir to Roma same, it’s really comforting
“Give a man a mask, and he’ll show you his true face.”
Your videos make me want to get VR eventually to open up about these kinds of things and escape.
Reach for the stars but your feet grounded buddy. Have a good VR day
VR chat is free and doesnt require VR
You don't need VR to open up you just need good people
vr chat doesnt requeire vr and is free. live your dreams
I wish they bring vr to ps4 already
"We're all just trapped on this rock" I felt that
nice profile picture
@@pukestain1498
These kind of conversations make me wanna get VR just so I can have these talk with other individuals.
AlmightyPhilosophy11 same
If you didn't know, you don't need a vr headset to play vr chat. It'd still be a lot better in vr tho
It takes a little while to actually end up having a proper conversation like this, because you have to gain the other person’s trust. Most people don’t feel comfortable talking about their lives with strangers
@@afiqhasif4531 Yeah it kinda ruins the experience but it's the only way i've ever played. I try to find someone to talk to but everyone just tries to meme
Me too man. Depending on how old you are or how much your family loves you, you can just ask for it for Christmas. I’ve come to terms that I can’t muster up enough cash for a PC so this Christmas I’m just going to ask my family members for some parts to build a PC
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” ~~ Mark Twain.
That's kinda dumb though. The problem with death isn't death itself, it's knowing that you will eventually die and that potentially nothing matters because you dissapear
@@gowk0 Do you ever plan out a nice birthday dinner for yourself? Maybe treat yourself to something you really like, or go to a restaurant you really like right? Most of us do something like this for a celebration.
But why? When you are done eating its over. Its gone. You are no longer eating that food, no longer enjoying it. So why even bother going out to a nice restaurant to enjoy a meal if eventually it will be over?
Things do not need to last forever for us to enjoy it, to take enjoyment in it. The fact that when you are done eating a nice meal, or having great sex that it's over does not mean it does not matter. So why should it bother you for life as well? We don't need something to be eternal for it to be enjoyable, or serve a point.
And things echo down through time as well. Think on this quote "A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never enjoy". Your actions of "planting a tree" might mean nothing to you, but it adds to the benefit of society. And don't forget.. the shade we enjoy now is because of others before us who had forethought.
Andrew woke shit
@@__Andrew that was a really good metaphor. You're a genius. Thank you.
Things have _more_ meaning when it is temporary. Its more special, more important. We like cake because we have it every once in a while. If we ate cake every day it loses that. That's the same with life. Its special because its ephemeral.
Heaven would be hell if it truly lasted eternity.
This thought plagues me, Especially recently, It's strange seeing a video come out like this, Also comforting in a way... I don't know honestly
I've recently been having these same thoughts about if anything matters and what's the point. I find myself wondering why i exist and why now of all times? Is there a bigger picture? Or am i just an extreamly random chance of existence. Kind of scary shit.
This is also really strange for me too, recently I've had these thoughts
Volta Alta same
PandaGAMES!!! see positive nihilistic by kurzergats
I always have like a heavy feeling in my chest whenever i think about existential topics like how are deities created how could the world come from mothing and are we even alive. I mostly try to distract my self from these thoughts because they scare me

Why is VR slowly becoming somewhere where DEEP people are expressing themselves?
dont know
The same reason people for years have been having conversations online that they'd never have in the real world. Talking to strangers online doesn't have the bearing that having these same conversations in real life would have. You might have people you know on a daily basis thinking you're crazy. With online chat there's anonymity. You're not looking at someone's true outside shell when you're talking to them and you may very well not talk to them ever again. You can feel truly free to express yourself. That's a luxury many people don't feel like they have in their day-to-day life - especially those who have been recluses from a young age.
GeneralCane I agree like there’s this one person I met online and is the first person ever I’ve poured all my secrets hopes and dreams to lol I feel much more comfortable talking to them than people irl
GeneralCane I agree like there’s this one person I met online and is the first person ever I’ve poured all my secrets hopes and dreams to lol I feel much more comfortable talking to them than people irl
Because people cant Express themselves in the real world without being slammed 24/7.
“We do not fear the unknown. We fear what we think we know about the unknown”
A quote I read somewhere
Ultra Instinct Vegito Have u been drinking vinegar again?
Tiekje sorry dad I had to make my point
Ultra Instinct Vegito Actually i got iT from an article. I dont see why you have to be toxic, this is not about me getting a topcomment, i just wanted to share this. Youre remark was kinda uncalled for.
I know the yt comments are very toxic but this time iT wasnt necessary for you to say something like that. I have no interests in a top comment.
@ they do what? Wth
"Fu-"
I have a problem with over thinking death like him.
I try so hard to get it away from my mind and enjoy life, but I am afraid of the unknown.
KR Draws I went through this at the age of ten, it hurts but can be overcome. The inevitable will happen, destiny is forever, but the details can be changed, you can die poor or rich, but will always die. Death is not to be worried about, it will come and if there is nothing after, then it is over after but nothing hurts where there is no feeling.
Kream the ice cream, Nobody is going to make fun, or judge you on my watch. And everyone else's watch. I'm not okay with the fact people call you guys terrorist, I find it rude, annoying, and disrespectful. But I honestly believe someone such as yourself deserves bad treatment, but deserves the same treatment if someone weren't Muslim.
In my case, I don't care where you came from, meaning Race, Religion, ancestry. I love everyone for the way the behave and personality.
Kream the ice cream you guys gave us shit we don’t really think about and take for granted, I like my shampoo
I feel you
Sometimes I feel the same way, mostly when I wake to go to work. I just think, everything I doing is just a waste, I will pass away sometime anyway...
He thinks exactly how I’ve been thinking, every time I deeply think about stuff like this my anxiety kicks in, the unknown is the only thing that I fear.
Don't fear......everything is meant to happen for a reason
Kilo Harrington Yes, we know it’s supposed to happen eventually, but it’s still scary to think of the aftermath, the outcome you’ll never be ever to acknowledge in your entire existence. What will become of you, your remains, your consciousness... That’s a scary concept to wrap your head around, that our whole entirety will be wiped off this world, that we’ll be gone forever from this galaxy. We can only think of being nothing more than mere dust. No longer being capable of controlling our fates, but only matters in the earth getting unnoticed by future generations. We will die, and we will disappear forever. No technology, no family, no friends, nothing to cope with once entering the afterlife. We will never come back from nothingness
ItsWaldo when I used to really think deeply into it I would feel this weird feeling in my chest idk why. But yeah the thought of Nothingness as conscious is completely stopped, the world keeps going and you never wake up or experience anything ever again
ItsWaldo me to its so wierd
ItsWaldo I recently starting thinking abut the unknown, and whenever I do my mind can’t comprehend it to the point where it messes with my emotions and I’ll burst out laughing or I’ll start crying because I can’t comprehend it.
This guy is asking all the right questions about everything. I've also have had all of these thoughts at least once.
Same, especially now I can’t get out of that place in my mind.
For anyone who is sad now: Optimistic Nihilism - Kurzgesagt. I've always had these kinds of thoughts and it helps to watch that video.
THIS
also would like to recommend Alan Watts - The Dream of Life, great video that uplifts me every time
i used to have panic attacks daily thinking about death,, happy to know im not the only one
tentxcle same I’ve been having these thoughts since 10 and I use to cry getting myself scared
it's like everyone will think about death and whats after death. I always think about death
@@br0d795 dose it get better as i am losing sleep,happness,joy in every thing
mrpolar bear yes it gets better, now when I’m thinking about it I go on my phone and stop or play videogames
mrpolar bear having someone to talk to (like for me a therapist) is really helpful
The thought loop of unknown has happened to all of us at least. Sometimes the unknown is like do you have 1 life or you are reborn.
Apex Paradox all of us at least ? That’s at most dude what’s more than all of us lol?
Vicious Ttroob
Sorry for my mistake
@@noblord i think they were referring to the number of times shared by people cumulatively, not counting the sum of individuals that ever experience it. So atleast would be fine, since there are yet for some to feel it.
Christopher Thompson I like your point, however it is incorrect and he admitted it . But good point
@@noblord okidokes, just thought i'd give it a shot since i wasn't sure if counting people was after all of time, and that the loop was an inevitability of thinking. But i see how i misinterpreted him saying all of us from future tense.Thanks for helping out.
the death part is what's been on my mind for the past few months and i hate the fact that no matter what i do, me or my loved ones won't be able to avoid it and the thought of something so inevitable
terrifies me (while at the same time, the concept of immortality also sucks??? so i guess i just can't win)
the worst part is i guess i'm not scared if it will be painful, i really just don't wanna miss out on anything that will happen once i'm gone
uh i mean haha schmood am i right fellas
szin this is EXACTLY how I feel. I can’t handle nonexistence. I hate it. I want my conscience to be uploaded to a computer or something lol. I always try to make myself believe in religion but I just can’t convince myself that an afterlife is real.
never thought i'd find you here
szin agreed
Same idk why though just randomly kick in
Tin The scary part is that it's gonna happen again.
The guy featured in this video should make a podcast and talk about stuff like this. I would listen to that for hours
“negative thought loop” that really touched me hearing that as I go through this daily. The thought of death and the unknown doesn’t make me sacred it makes up upset in a weird way. My grandad passed the beginning of may and I think that’s what has really made me think this way, mainly because of the bi polar relationship we had.
In this short film, the audience is presented with a continuation of Syrmor's ongoing examinations of a sort of meta-philosophy, and things of that nature. The subject of this short film presents several pressing questions that have been debated since the beginning of the creation of the concept of discussion. The subject, however, comes from a family that hails from a relatively impoverished background. Syrmor is linking ideas based in "highly scholarly" thought" with demographics not traditionally associated with their creation. In doing so, Syrmor is simultaneously presenting complicated and pertinent questions, and attacking classist ideas that the poor are unable to think on this level. The subject also relays several notions of existential dread that are universally shared, to further reinforce this notion.
This relates to Tool's song "Jimmy" from their Ænima album. Particularly, in the following verse: "What was it like to see / The face of your own stability / Suddenly look away / Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?" In this verse, the narrator asks to describe the feeling of seeing a sense of regularity, only to have that regularity shattered before them. This is the way of life -- and we all know it to some degree. The existential questions that are being posed by our subject are what we ask ourselves when we face existential dread, and this Tool song is acknowledging this from an outsider's perspective.
Much of this short film does my work for me. Syrmor's short films seem to be taking a direction in which they address their own inner lying themes. I'm intrigued and am curious to see what's next.
Its both frightening and reassuring for me to know that the final decision ultimately lies in our hands. And I often fear the consequences of asking myself these questions. Its unfulfilling knowing there's no answer but it comes along our meatsack package.
We fear so much yet we knowingly thrust these questions to the future generations. That's whats infuriating
Swaglord i like the way you think my friend
@@skullskidder I feel the same way
wonderful comment by swaglord, thank you very much.

I want to have a conversation with this man about our existence.

Me too
Same. I feel like you would actually think about this kind of stuff if you and this guy talk a lot.
Can we make a group or all meet at a VR Room and have a debate about existence :D?
I can relate to this guy so much. Like the constant fear of death is so much to think about.
Alright, it is 04:09AM.

Haha, here comes existential dread.
Why did you have to remind me.
I used to get it too....and then I realized that the afterlife is something that you cant even imagine..........and deep in my heart and spirit I know that our soul lives forever........don't be sad........be happy and live your best life.......and know that I will see you on the other side my friend:)
If you lived forever, after billions of years, earth would be consumed. You'd float aimlessly in space, forever staring into the void. Eventually, you'd stop thinking.

This video gave me an existential crisis....... :/
It made me feel alot better about myself & the empty-ness of my existence, I guess it's all about your point of view. Stay strong live long
I feel you, i just try to remember how awesome and truly wonderful it is that we experience stuff. The world is a miracle and never take anything for granted. You are the universe, everything you see or feel is your brains work. Everyone is a piece of you.

Youre telling me i just watched your name
@@monkebusiness7794 Such a beautiful movie
I've always loved that argument that we die every time we fall asleep and the person who wakes up is a different version of us. That kind of stuff is fascinating to think about for me.
Yeah i really have found it fascinating. Do you know what thats called and or the philosopher who argued of it?
this is the first time ive ever heard someone who has the same feelings as me. The past year, almost every thought I had was, “what happens to your consciousness after you die?” and every time i thought about it I had a panic attack. Literally I feel no one understands and finally theres a video about if
I been going through this too and I feel like no one understands
richmaster guy I completely understand I was going through that for like 3 years straight still do at times. It’s gotten better over the years but it still sort of lingers
richmaster guy It’s a very common thing. People just don’t talk about it much.
Thanks I never got so many likes :)
same here and i'm 23. It used to be worse, I just try my hardest to be happy but unhappiness catches up. and these thoughts are the worst, they're intrusive
I think everyone had these kind of thoughts...maybe some more than others, but everyone has them
Holy shit someone else fears this.. I thought I was the only one
@@LockMii yeah I have anxiety and a lot of other issues and everytime I think of this topic I literally just break down crying immediately almost =/
I have been through for half of my life at one point I had depression
Look, we will all go through it. Enjoy what you have because it is special and unique. People died for you to be here and people lived to give you a reason to be here. The world is so delicate yet so sturdy. When you are gone, not everything is so never give up.
lol you are certainly not the only one who fears death/non-existence. Almost everyone does.
Nah man, I’ve been having existential crisis’ since before elementary school. You’re definitely not alone.
This stuff gets to me too. I mean why work towards learning something when it will probably be forgotten forever
That ending made me laugh so hard make sure you keep checking in on that dude he seemed kinda down by life bless him
*I found this channel recently and now I am addicted. I can't stop watching your videos. They are too good* 😂👌🔥
i understand all of this, minus the parents struggling as his dad did. i have comforts many others dont but ive been thrown in the loop where i work 5-6 a week as a senior in hs with no friends and no plans for the future. im lost in this space where im the middle kid, and while im compared to the higher sibling, my younger sibling is constantly excelling so im just here. i wish i had someone or something to relate to but i havent found that person yet. someone who has dealt with similar things like me that can understand the difference in extremes ive been through with parental relationships and dealing with friend problems and anxieties.

2019: Man can't comprehend the fact that the unknown isn't known by anyone. It's scary. He believes people will never know that other people will never know what will happen after you die. I worry everyday about it. What happens to everybody? Are they reborn? Are they just nothing but a husk? A void? Are we really just here for only as long as we want? Or are we here until the world decides not? What will happen after nobody's left? A new beginning? Or is it just gone? Just out of reach. We may never know. See, by this point, people decide to stop wasting their time reading this. But really, we never had enough time in the first place. Nobody realizes that they will stop being themselves after they die. Hmm. I wonder when, Why, and What.

Wasn't too deep for me as I've kinda asked the exact same questions a few years ago and came to a conclusion. It was that if I were to be in my deathbed, I would regret not doing so many things but by then it would be too late to actually accomplish any of them. Therefore even if everything is not persistent, I will live my life to reduce the number of regrets I would have if I were on my deathbed.
I relate to this guy on such a high level. It feels like we share exactly the same thoughts. I've had them for 2 years now, and no antidepressants or therapists has helped me yet. But I still have hope, to find my happiness in life.
Dude. This has all crossed my mind. I am always getting judged for thinking so deeply and for being so scared of the inevitable. I over think. I unmotivate myself. I wish I could talk to this dude because ughtjesm.
You have to grow up and seeing the pointless nature of life is part of that. Life is a big act, but we can get lost in our characters. Look at all the people who don't think deeply. They enjoy life because they are caught up in the moment. But you have to know life is pointless to enjoy it. If it was all important then it would cause more conflict, panic and anxiety. The fact that it all ends means you dont have to be so serious. Just take life serious enough to answer a real question. Like can you parent? Then go find out by working hard to do your best to look back with joy. It's as complicated as you want it.
I have this same exact anxiety that it felt like what he was saying in the beginning was coming out of my own mouth word for word. Yet, hearing it again here is still as jarring because i just mostly cope with it by constantly distracting myself and leaving not a sec for my thoughts to wonder. Quality video by syrmor as always.
his brain just exploded in the end of the video
this is some really relatable stuff. i've been pondering on what we know and what we don't know and i've just been feeling really strange about the fact that we're all so unaware of our surroundings, if that makes any sense (i don't really know a decent way to explain it, i'm not good at expressing my thoughts, sorry.)
despite the fact that i can't comprehend what we are i don't think i'd be able to really 'get it' if we knew everything about our existence, i guess. life is a scary thing.
used to get it too....and then I realized that the afterlife is something that you can even imagine..........and deep in my heart and spirit I know that our soul lives forever........don't be sad........be happy and live your best life.......and know that I will see you on the other side my friend:)
Same ... People shouldn't judge this kind of belief. Even tho It may not exist it can also exist but even the thought of it's existence gives me a deep like strong wave of hope
Thank u :)
After experiencing INSANE paranormal activity and seeing full body apparition ...theres something more we have yet to learn. There is a spiritual world.
Man I love your content my dude, it really is a wholesome thing. If you ever need a good over coming depression, bullying, and suicide story I'd love to meet you one day : D
I doubt it but seeing this kind of content just warms up my heart and had me wanting to offer.
Remember everyone you are awesome and I hope you can have fun with the time you have here!

i kno you're joking but i wanted to meme too haha
This guy reminds me of myself A LOT. Here's my daily thought process:
What if you die, there is no afterlife, there is no hell or heaven, there is no rebirth, and you are stuck in a void talking to yourself and thinking about all of the good and bad things you did, forever in a void filled with absolutely nothing.
Say maybe what if there is an afterlife, you get reborn as another person. Then again you are stuck in a never-ending loop of life, constantly experiencing things you've already experienced, again, forever.
Maybe perhaps, when you die, you no longer exist, by that I mean, you DON'T exist, you stop being yourself, you are no longer human, you forget everything you know about everything, you forget everything you were, and eventually, everyone else will forget you.
We don't know when or how we die, every time I go to school I walk among trucks, cars, buses, just centimeters away from hitting me.
I think the last of the three is the most likely scenario by far, at the same time most merciful as well. Consciousness and sense of self, "soul", emerges from small electric charges and mixtures of chemicals in your brain matter, and it's destroyed along with the brain.
Just to be sure I'll ask to be cremated, who knows if I get buried with brain intact I'll be in some level present until I'm sufficiently decayed.
@@FelineRed I also think the last example will be the case, also you just fucked me up more with that last statement.
I’ve never heard someone else express exactly the same thoughts that plague me. The worst is the one when you’re having a great, loving moment, and are overcome with the dark dread of the inevitable end. I guess I’m not alone
These thoughts are what gets me out of bed in the morning, because they plague me so much that I can’t be with my thoughts anymore
When you sleep, time passes real fast in ur reality. It’s like a fast forward with an end to it to actually present something after(waking up). With death, the sleep part happens but we don’t know what comes next. What will we fast forward to? Are we looping our lives? Live a different life elsewhere?
I've thought about what it would be like if our lives looped. It would be like Groundhog Day but you couldn't remember what happened before.
I’d like to believe we live completely different lives. Start over in another country, another culture, another family. Have no memories of our previous life, but keep living like we never died.
That doesn’t make sense, but that’s what I like to believe. It makes me optimistic that I’ll get to experience the world in its entirety, even if I won’t remember it in my lives later on.
Well, if we don’t go extinct, there is hope for the dead.
If we become advanced enough to revive dead people, to you it will just seem like you slept.
But in real time it would be hundreds of years.
So you could possibly live “forever” if you just got revived over and over.
This is what I've been struggling for the longest time. These are my common anxieties.
i got the same feels about death and stuff, don't let that bad thing consume you, try doing stuff you love to do, think about positive things and not bad, the story about his dad was really sad, don't think about the past give a hug to your dad because he loves you, keep moving forward and don't let anything stop you not even death, everyone is going to die one day but that doesn't stop us for going forward, Keep fighting man and don't let anything stop you!
"Sleep is kinda like mini dying [...] so I didn't want to sleep" 😭😭
I think about the same, I just could never put this into words. This guy, right here, just did that. It used to frustrate me because I want to talk about this with people, because they probably feel the same, but I could never put it into words.
A thought of solace:
Uncertainty about existence is part of the human condition. No human has ever known for certain a steady foundation. You are not alone.
Dude, this is my exact thought process, word to word. He is literally in my head and saying what I think, I was like actually blown because he was like quoting me!
I feel the same way
Look forward to the other side. The fact that all values nothing in the long run, we still have now. We are now. Now is a complicated set of relationships we can act up on if we choose to. Everything is based on perspective. If you sit far away and admire it, sometimes it seems pointless too. You just have to stay with the flow. Life is what you want it to be. If you watch everything else, it will all disappear and fall through your hands like water. Let go of life and go back into the heard as a Guru, not a guru for others but self. The mad man who knows it's pointless but acts like it's all so meaningful. That's the joy of life, you can be whoever and whatever you want. You are here to enjoy life, get rowdy, get loud, get weird and search for more questions and less answers.
just know what is known, the unknown is going to stay unkown, but we can always keep asking questions that will go unanswered.
until we finally depart into the unknown
existentialism is one hell of a drug.
I love how he said that we are on this tiny rock stranded in the void. What if we and maybe other planets with life are stranded and outside our zone civilizations aren’t stranded(alone) and know much more
Never before have I vibed with a monkey so hard.
this is insane... i was just thinking ab this stuff. good to know i am not alone
Why would you say that to him Pooh? D:
Yeah, the problem with discussing what it's like to not exist after death is that it is literally incomprehendable.
I think everyone has been in this loop before.. At a certain point you just realize that you have to make the most of it. Yes some day you will be gone. But I will forever chase the beautiful moments of happiness and glory, through hard work and commitment.
This is an existential crisis I have with myself far too often for it to be healthy.
I know when I get too far into thinking of the possibility of ceasing to exist when I die, a void of consciousness going on forever. It feels like my brain locks up on itself, forcefully stopping me from thinking much deeper about it, but still stuck on the fence conscious of the idea
I swear, I always drop whatever I'm doing once I notice your videos like these. I love it so much that you share these very raw human moments with us. Thank you for doing what you do.
One Major thing I have learned is that there are 2 things that happens in someones lifetime:
Life, and Death. They both work with each other, and if you have one, you kust have the other. There is never a situation where that isn't the case.
And taxes.
This is literally me. I have the same thinking about bad thinks which I try to ignore
I can relate to this guy soo much, it's insane
i always think about what happens after I die, what do I see, will I even see anything
all in good time we will find out death is a mysterious and obscure thing its hard to even know what happens after this life cause those who have died before us are not there to tell us.
This is what generalized anxiety disorder feels like, at least to me, someone who is diagnosed with it. I ruminate on tons of things like this guy. Don't be afraid to talk to a professional (therapist/psychologist for talk-therapy, psychiatrist for diagnosis and medication) or your usual general doctor about your mental health. There really is no stigma in a one on one environment like that.
"mini dying" xD
I heard that kind of analogy before plenty but the way he said it lol
Also that ending where you casually just made him think about it even worse and then cut the video off after the long pause of dead silence killed me xD
🔫POW!!! Blew his 🤯 out LOL
This dude should do mindfulness meditation. He's too much up in his own head (been there). He needs to learn to be more in the now
What was your process for learning mindfulness?
I never knew I could relate to someone as much a i do with this guy, he knows my struggle
All your vids help me understand all these different experiences. It’s really sweet like on a call with someone. Your vids feel real and heartwarming😊
*I was in a bad motorcycle accident this past October and suffered a major TBI which temporarily left me “dead” for a few minutes and let me break the sad news to you all, there where no clouds , gates or deceased family waiting for me. I felt trapped in an endless dark room with nothing but my thoughts to haunt me . We have been lied to our whole lives , once we die that’s it , game over and no re spawns. Some people asked if that experience made me depressed and honestly no, knowing that there is nothing after we die has only inspired me to appreciate every day that I am alive here on this planet*
fUN-fACT OF THE DAY.
*_Black Holes move through space and at any moment we can be hit by one with no way to to get off Earth because we don't have the technology._*
Every night for a few years I was terrified of that shit. The idea that at any moment that we could get sucked up into a black hole and have our atoms ripped apart scared the shit out of me.
Humans will be dead before that happens, so it doesn't fear me that one day earth would get succed.
Most black holes are very massive so their gravitational influence can and have been detected via a phenomena called microlensing, even if the black hole itself can't be detected. Now primordial black holes that may have formed after the big bang could be numerous. They are tiny, about the size of a proton and have a mass of 10^12 kg so it would just punch through Earth like it wasn't there, causing almost no damage.
Now if want existential dread, something called vacuum decay may occur in the universe. Basically a we may live in a false vacuum energy state, if that energy state dropped to a more stable value, the universe would wink out of existance and we couldn't see it coming.
Sweet dreams.
if a supernova went off even relatively close to us in space distance we will all be dead
This is what I'm greeted to in the morning ;-:
I genuinely love this series so much.
Wow I don't think I actually have thought about living forever. That's almost scarier than thinking of oblivion. Hmmm
I honestly can't explain how much these videos help me, it is so calming to hear other people talk about their aspects of depression and anxieties that they have developed through their childhood or a past experience. As humans we shouldn't be discouraged to think of ideas such as the one presented in this video, the negative connotations regarding death are purely hand fed to us by society, think about it, if no one ever talked about or told you that death was a 'bad' thing, you wouldn't know any better. These videos are so effective at getting my mind off of the anxieties in my life, and replacing them with other's anxieties HOWEVER their stories are told in strength, not weakness and that really gives me positivity when I have to handle big things in my own life going forward. Thank you Symor, keep it up !!
i can't explain in words how much i relate to this guy, these kind of thoughts are what keep me unmotivated to do anything or chase after any goals i have in life
That ending was simply put... Amazingg
Whenever you upload I get so excited to hear peoples story
You find the coolest people in VRChat
It's comforting to know I'm not the only one plagued with these kinds of thoughts
I feel the same honestly. Like knowing ur parents or anyone thats close to you is going to die and after death you may never remember anything or/anything about the people you met. Also like theres like no point in anything, I recently started debating with myself on whether I should keep playing basketball since I know I'm not making it to the NBA and yet i'm using hours and hours of my time into the sport so it's weird and scary.
Bro same I wanna do something in film or animation and video games but even I think that is kinda pointless
I struggled with this sort of mentality for quite a long time, but eventually I learned to accept that life is pointless, in a way. But to also appreciate life for what it is. This rock, this massive hunk of floating mass in space, it has a bunch of beautiful stuff. The sky, the trees, even the people. I taught myself to remember to acknowledge the beauty of the world. To remember to look up at the clouds. To love flowers in the spring. To revel in the fantasy of what is, rather than what can or could be. It took me a long time to get there. But I think it's really a lot better, at least for me. I've been able to get even just a little joy out of living, if only just from appreciating the beauty around me. For anyone else struggling through the thoughts of pointlessness and stuff like that, I would advise that you stop, even if only every now and then, and try to appreciate what is. What you do have. Try to find what beauty or whatever in this life, rather than being afraid of what might come next. Because being afraid of the future will only make you regret your past. Try to choose to live in the present, if you can. That's what I would suggest.
Yes. Past is a memory and future is a prediction. The only thing that truly exists - is forever changing now.
Life is not pointless at all, by the way. We are giving it meaning. People are just used to believing in some external sentient entity that made us with some scheme in mind, or even just following mindlessly the lead of other people without setting goals themselves, and that's why they get depressed once realization comes to them.
They just need to learn how to appreciate sandbox games and by that learn how deep mechanics of our reality can grow.
The weird thing is, I actually kinda relate to this guy.
We all do....millions of paths just to meet the same ending NOTHINGNESS 🤯
the only thing im afraid of is not knowing what im afraid of
It really helps knowing that other people think of the same things I do. I didnt think that anyone else thought in a mindset like mine and its sort of comforting (but not at the same time) knowing that Im not the only one and knowing that im a kid n all you think like yoire the only one and when you think about this sort of thing you kind of make your mind go blank and anxiety and everything just takes over. Its nice knowing that there are other people who have this and I can tell my parent what I have and they will understand what me and certain other people go through. Im really grateful that this video was here and someone was brave enough to open up to such a wide variety of problems. I cant thank you enough for posting this. Thank you. ❤️
On the serious side, I go to therapy for this kind of stuff. My brain works a little differently so if I start thinking about this kind of shit, I can’t get out of it unless I get distracted.
