Depression is often the spirit's rebellion against a life that sucks.

fits with my experience
@@SofoArchon wowsers
I have had some semblance of depression since a young age.
😢
I'd imagine that it's more like the giving up of the spirit.
@@GoblinMunchie Yeah, at least my experience with depression fits that
I misread the title as "only good people get dressed" and i was so captivated about the claim for a few seconds.
That's deep
@@NickNoobles very deep

but how different is the individual?

Is it, or is there simply a great deal of confusion around the topic, as there commonly is when people talk of a singular topic, with their own notions of it? The phenomenon itself, the symptoms, aren't an endless list. Same with the conditions which create it. Even the subjective experiences, I'd wager aren't all that different (when talking of depression proper, instead of confusing it for any number of other mental health problems), variance in severity and duration are probably the most relevant factors.

Objection your honor, my client here (me) is depressed and also a bad person.
@@polar906 you dont get it, the fact that you think of yourself as a bad person means you can really be one, since they would lack the ability to self reflect
And it is the proof, that you indeed feel the discrepancy between who you are and who you want to be, posed by you mental prison. For example you are only a good person if you are perfect and the fact you are not, makes you a bad person which is a rather high expectation that no one can ever fulfill
Judge : "Overruled. Just like the rest of your life!" 🤣
I certainly hope you have evidence to backup your claims
I was gonna post this too, a lot of people hate me and I've been depressed before. Must mean I'm a good person after all and I cannot be wrong!
oftentimes i understand the thin line between being alone and being lonely, lord it has me by my neck.
@@mbsucks101 I am a pretty solitary person, and I enjoy being so. Occasionally, suddenly I feel lonely and it sucks because I have almost no one to help me fix that. I wish it would just stop happening.
@@whelkpeopleofdoom being solitary is important to know oneself as long as you are surrounded by a community that you can rely on. Breaking from the self-impossed prison mentioned by being vulnerable can help you connect with others in real life who are probably not voicing it but find themselves in a similar situation. Go out and talk to people, easier said than done but true.
@@whelkpeopleofdoom at time's it's just like I have got rid of myself,
I'm alive with something else now.
but hey i hope you always be gentle on yourself!
@@mbsucks101 what exactly do you mean with you got rid of yourself? Just making sure I get what you are saying correctly
@@PixelSheep i meant the person that I used to be i feel like I'm a stranger in my own skin.
Depression just makes everything harder. It takes what is already an epic struggle to exist preferentially and elevates that reality to a completely cosmic tier of difficulty. However, due to the nature of our human spirit one is still able to show up for life on a daily basis despite this. I see that as one of the most beautiful showcases of strength in humanity.
Almost just purposely walked into a truck on the road omw to my car but stopped myself at the last second, then almost broke down at the fact I still stopped myself. I instinctually care about myself regardless of what others think. It’s always been this way. I don’t have insecurities, I’m fine with myself and think I’m objectively good at being a person, but I can’t find love regardless of how I view and present myself, and it’s always been this way.
I'm glad you are still here, friend. And remember that if you do ever choose to harm yourself, forcing unconsenting people to be involved will deeply traumatize them. You have my absolute empathy and love, but I feel that is important to point out. Hopefully it will never truly be something you have to consider 💚
Very glad to know you're still with us. If you can work out which issues prevent you from finding love, try to improve on them.
The only love I've ever had that lived up to expectations / reputation was the love from mama. The rest fell short, but probably because I was measuring it by an impossible standard.
Humans throughout human history had strong communities of people we knew for our entire lives. We threw that away with industrialization. Of course more people are depressed. We're not evolved for the environments we're living in. Like a penguin in the zoo.
@@derp.p don’t hurt other people like that.
You do you to yourself but stepping in front of someone else.
That’s inconsiderate.
Please don’t be that person.
Watching this video reminded me how society often puts 'good' and 'bad' into rigid boxes, but life is way more complex than that.
Time to be a bad person.
Maybe that actually IS the reason people turn into bad ones. Like e.g. the Joker, he suddenly frees himself from everything and with it, his depression maybe?
The timing of this video could not have been better
depression is awful! best wishes to you
Depression is an enemy that knows your every flaw. One that fights a war of attrition and that multiplies the second you turn your back. Its not a fight that can be won with a single victory but one who’s every moment endured is a victory of itself.
According to predicting processing theory and other social/decolonial/non-pop psychology theories, depression is a normal human response to when you are stuck in an environment that doesn't let you flee nor fight from the danger, constantly having to perform against your emotions, not being able to accurately predict what to do (mostly because you are being stuck in double binds and unpredictable moods from others).
LITERALLY ME!!!!!
@@BL-sd2qw I experience the same
I feel like my frontal lobe just developed…
ouchie!
@@vanillavania. i'll stop eating it, sorry.
I've been depressed since I was a child. Maybe before the age of 6. I grew up in a pretty unstable household where abuse was a daily thing and I was explicitly told that I was the reason for it. I even told my mom I didn't want to live and she was hurt by it. I can't imagine it being easy hearing that from a child, your child. But they're the reason for it.
I'm 32 (almost 33) and I feel depressed as fuck because I am an older student. I feel like I compromised my future because I didn't go into school earlier in life. I passed HS in the four year period, but I didn't go beyond. I didn't do AP or anything fancy like that because I didn't know what I wanted to do career-wise. Although I have always wanted to be a scientist- thought what kind I had no idea. But also nobody explained that stuff to me, and I had little guidance in my life. I didn't know what degrees were, and I didn't realize what universities were for exactly, and I didn't realize that getting a high GPA in HS would mean I would get scholarships. Because of these factors, I feel like I have been held back in life. Now that I am an adult student, I face so many more responsibilities in life than the kids in university have ever faced. As a result, I won't be able to go through school as quickly as them and will probably accumulate more debt due to lack of scholarships.
I know this is not really my fault, but it's hard for me to not blame myself. Especially because now I have to wait longer before I can get any kind of job that would allow me to live under capitalism under even a semblance of comfort, and it feels like I wasted over a decade of my life due to these expectations- all because I didn't get a stupid piece of paper that says I can get a chill and good paying job. The way society treats adults is bad. And people wonder why we are so depressed.
Man, it's kinda dumb but I found the cure to all my problems.
I have struggled with sadness and bad thoughts for most of my life, but recently I found out how to change it. Whenever I feel like im going through a low patch I do a reconstruction of my values (more like guidelines of how to act) and my worldview. It works better then the "fake it till you make it" method.
Can you explain more and walk us through a scenario of you using that technique?
You're not the thoughts you experience. You're the experiencer of them. Mis-identification of oneself causes suffering.
@@stephenanthony5923 this is some deep stuff my guy

But then whose thoughts are they?
@TheSkyGuy77
In short like another you in your body.
Long answer:
I like to think there are at least 2 people in oneself. It probably is a common experience that if we want to end it there's something (like self-consciousness or the "body") that prevents us from ending it because of survival instinct. Our bodies are amazing but not invincible, easy to hurt yet we unknowingly keep it safe.
@@angylopez215
Hmm... I can kinda see what you're saying.
0:38 umm…is Dorothy giving us the finger? 🤨🤣
Insightful - I could definitely see my past self in the perfectionist seeking acceptance mindset. It’s not a dynamic that ceases to be but rather it evolves to be more healthy upon letting go of those past rigid expectations. Instead focusing on slowly improving and giving myself elbow room to take on that growth and try to understand the circumstances that prevent or slow it when they are there.
Thanks again for this video of psychology and philosophy on these themes.
Life is full of plateaus or what feels like limbos in between growth. Some stages feel stagnant or depressing. The fun parts are finding a fun way to break out of the rut or the comfort zone in an enjoyable way or finding an enjoyable approach that works to find more enjoyable results. The work is trying to define a plan that aligns.
I have done everything, I have constantly hurt myself, separated from my family, hurt my partner, isolated from my friends. None of that is what I really want, I want to change the sad and damaging thoughts I have about everything, enjoy a healthy relationship and go out with my friends, and as long as I keep that in mind I will get there eventually. I don't want to hurt myself anymore, it hurts.
Honestly, it's about choosing for the suffering that helps you. Everything might hurt; But what's actually worth it?
@@CLOYO
I guess, I prefer to suffer while I choose to change because at least I know I tried, it's just hard to keep the mental
I have been severely depressed and cynical for years after reading about historical atrocities committed by humans. I could not simply comprehend how humans could do this to each other. I don't think I ever could.
Humans can get pretty creative when it comes to "solving" conflicts, but violence has always been a near integral part of life itself. All living things compete for resources, from the lowly bacterium to the great apes. Some plants release toxins into the soil, securing their spot and making sure no other grows in their vicinity.
But within our violent nature, there is also compassion. Animals, including humans, protect each other and even other species, sometimes when there is nothing to gain from it. Some plants share resources through their roots and mycorrhyzal connections, even to dying individuals.
Life is equal parts horribly violent and beautifully benevolent.
@@DeepFriedOddish That's a beautiful answer. Does explain broader scale human conflicts. But not individual decision making. If I were a Nazi soldier during ww2, and I was asked to kill even a single jews (or anyone innocent for that matter), let alone children, I could not do it. My hands would shake and I would rather die honorably than kill someone and live rest of life with regret. But during Nuremberg trials, most Nazis tried to justify their horrible crime and also expressed no regrets. That is something incomprehensible. It feels as if some of us humans aren't exactly humans.
@@Gary-b8z Yeah, you got me there. Individual decision-making depends on a lot of variables. However, though I have never been in the position, i'm certain that the threat of death for oneself or one's family is enough to convince most to commit horrible acts.
"Depression is agression turned inside." Robert Saplosky
@@deepaksaini6364 Nancy McWilliams in psychoanalytic diagnosis said that it's actually that it's not our aggression. It's rather aggression of others towards us that we internalised
@@badger_grol Isn't the important part at the end of that statement though? We internalized it; we did it to ourselves. We internalize it because we can't refute it. We agree with those who are aggressive towards us. Also psychoanalysis is the original garbage pop psychology (thanks Freud).
So aggression turned outside turns you into the Hulk? Or Doomguy?

Acceptance before constant analysis.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't analyze yourself or your actions, but you can't make yourself wait until you understand yourself perfect to accept yourself, especially if you're analyzing and changing yourself.
There's no reason to wait for a day that might never come to allow yourself to be happy.
Sisyphus, what really ensnares me about this claim is the why of it all. How do we determine what is good and what is bad? Is it relative to a higher power or faith structure? I don't know a way to determine whether or not all of us are burdened by original sin, whether or not death is salvation for those of us who are moral enough to feel a cosmic guilt.
Let's define what good is before I continue. I examine good and bad relative to practicality, practicality for what one happens to be going for. Practical = good, where Impractical = bad.
If one happens to be going for the approval of a higher power, a deity, then whatever happens to be good for that is good. The thing is, it's next to impossible to be certain what such a deity wants, what is good for that deity, or whether or not it's tilting at windmills to behave as though the deity exists in the first place. It takes faith to determine the qualia we've got in our possession to be evidence of this deity existing, or evidence of this deity not existing. Even for agnostics, it takes faith to determine that it's even possible for one outcome to be the case. To even consider the possibility is an application of faith, a best guess that one happens to run with. So, in short, we're required to assume something in order to interact with any part of this system.
Assuming that our actions are practical for our objectives requires faith. People can only have one objective at one time, though they can oscillate between objectives at a fast enough rate to produce the illusion of something being both good and bad. To even step into the objective of there being some cosmic good to service, some moral imperative to suffer, is to cross a threshold only surpassable with faith. To interact with this objective at any meaningful capacity is to cross a similar threshold, assuming that one's actions are good for its accomplishment. With this problem diagnosed as an irrational assumption it seems as though the only antidote, remedy against, is an equal and opposite irrational assumption.
Therefore, good people can get depressed for no reason. Good people can be happy for no reason too. Whatever it is, just do your best because it's just what you do.

Has anyone ever overcome depression altogether? Especially of this kind? It feels like the changes needed for this as stated in the video are insurmountable in nature, like actually becoming aware of every single one of these self-told stories or not letting societal expectations get to you when you are forced to be part of society as it currently is. It just seems impossible to achieve, at least within a reasonable amount of time.
@@subatenome I’m not sure what overcoming depression ‘altogether’ would mean. I think there is always a leftover sense of what caused it but as one grows beyond it, you’re able to look back at it with the perspective and ability to not fall on the same self-told stories that caused the dissonance between your actual self and your imagined idealized self which caused the depression to begin with.
Fundamentally, It’s helpful to think of small steps given your situation; understanding yourself as you are now and trying to figure out small changes in routines that could, over small increments eventually bring about the desired overall state you want for yourself. Also preventing or slowly removing bad habits by making similarly small choices. In my experience the final goal of that should have constant reassessment as you go. Somethings will work others not, it’s just about the slow improvement.
It’s like becoming affluent at a craft, except it’s life. But there are others around who can help and give advice, again just like a craft. Hopefully my perspective helped a bit.
Kind of, its strange. My life hasn't much changed since I 'overcame' depression. I'm still not in a relationship, I still have the same friends etc. If anything things have become materially worse as I'm now separated by distance from a lot of the people I know and I'm living in a worse place. But over the years I have generally become a much more contented person, doing things I didn't think I would ever be able to do when I was depressed, like solo travelling abroad or learning a new language. To overcome it I guess it really comes down to 'thinking positive' which I know sounds like a massive piss take at the moment with the current state you may be in. But it really is as simple as the next time you think something negative about yourself or the world, you challenge it with a positive spin or interpretation. And yes at first you will likely laugh at this positive spin and not believe it in the slightest, but over time it will become much more credible and that's when you can kind of 'overcome' depression. Even something as simple as just holding a belief that things will get better will slowly pull you out of depression. Of course this doesn't mean you'll never be sad again, or even depressed. But once you can pull yourself out of the depths generally you will be able to set up good habits that will keep you out of depression. Hopefully this helps.
@@cycillak4918 how do you think positively when everything objectively sucks. Do you just lie to yourself until you believe it? if so thats a difficult skill to master, i guess thats how normal people are so good at functioning.

Thank you
The youtube short post definitely worked
ah yes feeding my narcissism 🔥
Can someone please explain:
I'm baffled about the last picture : "we can love someone without understanding that person"
I'd like to see it linked with Ms. Rowes theory and her observations
This couldn’t have come at a better time.
Damn. “This is terrifying, because a person’s whole structure of meaning is invalidated.” I’ve gamed my entire life. Recently have been dealing with some real shit, and I can’t hide or stick my head in the sand anymore from it. It’s fucking terrifying, even though it’s what I need to confront. I can’t confront it when I avoid it through gaming.
Damn. I wish this were more of a comfort, but it does actually help a little bit. I may not be worth much, but at least I can take some pride in my concern about my worth to other.
Identity is just the construct of ideas that we and others hold. Someone can be anything to anyone, it's a malleable perception held by the individuals, separate from objective reality.
I'm not a psychologist but from experience I'd best describe depression as learned helplessness. You realize that no matter what you do it doesn't change your environment and life circumstances and so you get emotionally and physically so paralyzed and numb because there is literally no motivation whatsoever, it won't help you anyway. And the reason why this is so consistent with the hypothesis that only good people get depressed is because bad people morph their environment however they like, either by manipulating other people or by just doing whatever they like without respecting any societal norms. On the other hand, depressed people take the accountability on their own. The best remedy of mine has literally been to take things into my own hand. Listen to my 'authentic' self and ask myself every now and then: 'what do I really want to do right now?'. And when there are no options, instead of giving up, finding another way towards that path. This seems so trivial but being conscious about it has literally helped me in all aspects of life: personal, with friends and family but also professionally. In the end all of us could do most of the things if we had the confidence to do them. Of course there are biological factors and some very impairing life circumstances, but we can do so much more than we think we do.
This is definitely one of the theory's proposed by Seligman. There's also cognitive models that look at depression as the result of cognitive deficits and biases (i.e. attentional biases). Behavioural models see depression resulting from an absence of positive reinforcement and reward. And evolutionary/biology models propose that depression emerges as a dysfunction in a natural reflex to conserve resources after a loss. There's also diatheses stress models that look at depression from a genetic lens. The research on the etiology of depression is super fascinating!
@@Sisyphus55 That's probably the truest definition and cause for depression, and very interesting! Didn't know that, thanks for sharing! ADHD also goes hand-in-hand with cognitive deficits and it has a higher comobidity with depression, so I totally see that. The other two theories also make a lot of sense. As always, the evolutionary remainders (stoneage brain) are often outdated and don't help much in today's society so it helps tremendously to be educated about that to 'cognitively' fight it off. I'm sad that we don't learn these things, coping mechanisms etc., in school. Depression is a real epidemic and nobody is prepared for it. I could complain all day about our school system but in the end we have to accept things how they are.
Time to turn evil
This video did not talk about the claim "only good people get depressed" so now I have to go research it on my own which is weird because usually these videos do a great job
Do we value our memories too much?
"we can love someone without understanding that person" BANGER LINE
Am I the only one who read “only good people get dressed”?
This one hit home
Like very very hard
Bro knew this autumn was gonna be a hard seasonal depression 💀💀💀
i wouldint be depressed if i had that brilliant sponsorship money
From what I gained, depression is a product of society standards that one internalized within him/herself. Does it mean that both parties are at fault and we have the power to limit how much we want depression to affect us? (english is not my first language:/)
A lot of people could be due to chronic maybe but make depression part of their personality. It’s not asthetic or artistic, u might dig ur own grave if u dont help yourself
This is about Dorothy Rowe. Seems that should be in the title and description.
The claim that “Only good people get depressed” feels like a self centered statement created by a person so desperate to feel like a person that they warped their entire world view just to fit that specific mold
I know someone who is the exception to this rule. If your delusional enough to not realize how harmful you are to everyone around you, you're fully capable of being depressed when no one wants to be some you.
I can’t believe my depression was the Bay Harbor Butcher
BRUH THE BAY HARBOR BUTCHER IS EVERYWHERE
i dont feel this is true. i am condemned to damnation, because of my phthisisian perjury, my lies to myself, the pain i have caused, and i have retired to that fate. i am depressed, for i am a terrible, incorrigible being.
My depression seems linked to a lack of hope for myself, not comparison with others or any other reason. Simply about finding love. My depression manifests as anger towards others
Depression isn't just one thing
Concerteza pessoas boas geralmente tem tendencia a ficarem melancolicas, ocasionalmente depressivas. Quem é 100 porcento feliz tem algum tipo de alienação.
If only it were true. I've encountered a LOT of psychopathic narcissists who become extremely depressed by relatively minor circumstances or strokes of (mild) bad luck, and then it usually sends them into a blind rage against everything and everyone. :/ It's painful in ways which I cannot fully explain unless you've experienced this kind of behavior from these types of people. If you're unfamiliar with it, I suppose I'd encourage you to watch the Johnny Depp v Amber Heard depositions. Obviously, those are VERY long, but it'd be one way for you to understand things (slightly).

But what would someone do about it?
Especially if you feel like you don't deserve to get better and being like a sick form of melancholy.
I honestly feel the same way, but you know that you are going through depression and that your judgment of things is not exactly reliable so focus on the facts, more specifically, what do you WANT to do? Do you want to continue feeling that way, or do you prefer something better?
I have to disagree. I knew a truly evil depressed person once. Undeniably bad person, undeniably depressed.
Agree with the title
Not me at 3 am watching this and connecting the dots about my life
This is why there is an avalanche of "don't give a f*ck" and "unf*ck your life" aimed at telling good people not to care too much and about being able to discern what's important from the trivial.
phrasing it like that means that you're defining depression based on the person himself, i mean, if only good people get depressed, then depression is something that only good people experience, and since this "good" is in the context of the subjective experience of the person himself, like finding that something he define himself by is challenged by the real world, so he feel bad about himself, and because he felt bad now, it means that he felt good just before, meaning that he's a good person at least to your interpretation of the situation, as you see, there's a leap here, the whole point you're making is about defining good as the opposite of bad which isn't news, and because depression is a subjective experience, you're defining depression itself through a subjective lens, but even that depression is actually a subjective experience, it doesn't mean that there's no objective conceptual definition of it, i mean, even if it is complex to reach a complete objective definition because there's always the subjective dimension of it, you can define it in an objective way referencing the subjective dimension even if not explicitly getting into it.
This is the wildest rabbit hole I ever came across

@@Sisyphus55 what is your opinion of Robert Greene the author of 48 laws of .... i haven't read him and i wonder if it's worth it.

this title makes me look so bad in public 😂
It is not exactly that people are products of society. People are reaised the way that society have a hard influence on who they are and what should they want, think and feel.
People were taught to conform to societal notms whatever those norms could be. But conforming to those norms is not a natural state of things.
Society strictly repressing individual thinking by every step in life. They call it upbringing and education. They learn people to judge each other and shame if they behave in a different way even if what they are doing does no harm to anyone.
The ultimate goal is to make everyone think and feel in one and only direction and obey blindly.
This why societal expectations outweight your own view of self. And society is ruthless by punishing each other for disobidience.
I must be a great person then lol
How do you animate your videos? After Effects?
I'll watch the video but before that - what about narcissists?
I don't think that's always the case. Self victimisation doesnt make you a good person. Been bitter and resentful not either. Those things can get you depressed. Been always grumpy in order to draw the attention on to you not either too. Getting sad over everything cause you cant realize your own traumas and release them doesn't mdke you good either.
The fact that you feel sorry about everything is a projection. Can you be of any help? If so you are good. If not you are not good nor bad either. But the fact that are nit bad doesn't make you good.
To my understanding of this video, depression is simply people being perfectionists and failing to be their idea of the perfect version of themselves in society, but that image of themselves is also created by society and not the individual.
Here a good person is just defined as someone who feels bad about not meeting society's vision of their ideal self and i assume then a bad person just doesnt feel bad about not meeting this ideal. The good person avoids depression by revaluating and updating what that ideal is supposed to look like and make it more flexible, so that it isnt so rigid.
I disagree with this, if this is the correct interpretation of what i just watched.
I'm pretty sure most school shooters had depression too.. just saying
Unfortunately, it’s not true. Lots of people are “depressed” because they cannot freely do what they truly desire deep inside without society outright telling them (or giving them hints) that these things would not be okay to do. As Dorothy Rowe herself says “depression is when there is a discrepancy between what we thought our life would be, and what it turned out to be”, so no, depression is not reserved for good people.
Relatable.
Depression is real, so does reality of horrors.
Turns out im evil idk
