      In puberty, I've been doing lots of things for the first time as a teenager. Now I'm doing things for the first time as a young adult. Just as challenging as it was before, same cake but different box.

      Brooooooooooooooooooooooo
      I hope both of you are here, in one piece and hopefully you smiled about something.
      I received advice once “ just keep smiling “
      Sounds like bullshit.
      But whenever Iv made decisions on whether I’m smiling or not my life gets better.
      Iv killed myself for my career and job the last 5 years. I’m 23. Iv really become someone in my field as well. My job and actual place of work I loved but this exact place just sucked the life out of me and made me nothing but sad. After 5 years I changed jobs same field but somewhere else.
      This new LOVES me. Everyone there is relatively happy and so different from my last place. Iv been smiling more often than not since I started. I felt so awful before I switched and stood up for myself. I go home happy like the place that would contain my nasty thoughts and let me spiral out of control… my home. Now is a place of energy and excitement. Like I want to do things and I’m thinking about my success and future.
      Life never stops offering opportunities like so randomly. My best piece of advice to myself and anyone who’s maybe suicidal. Is I promise tomorrow is a new day. Anything can happen. But killing yourself removes the chance of you playing the lottery and winning. It may have not been high before but it wasn’t zero.
      There will be winning lottery’s in your life but look for them. Your life directional thing is your happiness. Fuck everyone like everyone it’s you vs the world at the end of the day.
      Do what makes you happy.
      Also find a hobby.
      You’ll find friends through your hobby.
      If your friend sucks fuck em I swear to god just stop. Be friends with them when it’s convenient but find someone who will be friends with you when it’s inconvenient. They’re worth their weight in gold.
      Love you guys. Keep smiling

      That's what many people do with many of us who are autistic. We like to focus on stuff we know we can do or just like to do, and not doing stuff others to just to fit in (there are exceptions though, poor them).
      Harmful sub-conscious biases, assumptions and generalization is the bane of our existence.

      It should but too often we fall into a habit of focusing on the negative like you just did. Try to focus on the more positive side of those quotes as both quotes say the same thing just one does it in a healthier way.

    • @blackdragonstory1122
      @blackdragonstory1122 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I kinda understand the point but also it doesnt make sense.
      Isnt it good to improve the areas where you are lacking?
      Maybe that's the gamble.
      You have to lose what you have now so you can have something else that you want more.
      For example lets say now you are working as an electrician and earn 2k$ a month but you really want more money and work on a computer like a programmer.
      You will lose the experience you built up and portofolio from working as an electrician but will work as a programmer and potentially earn more if you focus on it and work hard.

      @@rigrace trust me, more often than not "successful" means bad with money lol. I invest and make like 5-10x what many of my friends make and save and re- invest it all and drive the same old beat up Mazda I got 8 years ago in 11th grade. Meanwhile my friends are all in new jeeps, BMW, pick ups etc, always going out for lunch (like every few days) and they are BROKE. and will be for much of their lives, I know because if I lived like they do I'd be broke too, even with a much higher income. It's all fun and games until you're still working at 80. Just remember Instagram is exactly what it looks like... a SNAPSHOT of life. Often exaggerated. If u spend your twenties trying to look the best on Instagram you're probably spending the money you could have used to invest to actually become wealthy later in life

      When I was 23 I had the same. Now that I am 31 I see all these other clueless adults (at a high paying job environment) and i realized that all the other 23 year olds at the time were either way better at bluffing or just as insecure and thought that I was way smarter and better. On youtube and internet it seems like many people of your age are great and successful but honestly they just randomly (for the most part) happened to float to the top, below them there are hundreds that tried and failed just by bad luck.
      Your time will come that you will realize: everyone is clueless and just floating around.

    I’m 29 now turning 30 in 3 months. My dad told me a few years ago that your 20s are some of the hardest days of your life. I used to think this wasn’t the case because I was having the time of life. But now looking back I see what he means. I thought life couldn’t get any better, It’s like you are an adult but there are still certain responsibilities that are put on hold. But there also comes a lot of struggles, worries and anxieties. You feel like you don’t have your life together and that everybody your age is so much further ahead in life than you. You sometimes feel like you’ll never make it. It’s a confusing, stressful, worrying and uncertain time of your life. But if you keep working and you don’t give up there will come a time when that self doubt you used to have will start to fade and you will feel more positive about your life and where you’re at. You can do this ❤

Always struggled with crippling depression. Recently got out of a long-term abusive relationship and made a drastic life change where I'm now completely alone 1000 miles away from where I lived all of my life and am going to school, but sometimes it's hard to keep up motivation.

      I had a difficult time when I was between 18 and 21 and I did not even realise it. I felt like you, felt so different from teenagers so it was hard for me to relate to them. They complained about me being arrogant when I was not, they were the insecure idiots. I became very arrogant recently because I was too insecure in the past. After all, dropping out from high school is not as bad as people think. Staying in high school is worse.

Try yourself out via internships for abt. 2-3 Weeks lenght to get a feeling of whats right for you👍🏼 just avoid long times of chillin/doing nothing as there's a risk not leaving that Hole. Most inportantly do this whole processe in your'e pace 😊 What closed ones might harshly say/do mostly comes from worry and care, dont take it too close, make youre way and when found your'e destination just look at them like: " : :) Told ya~ ;P" .

      Well, everybody is different : alcool gave me inspiration, colors, lights, stories, musics, texts. Of course you have to make a sort between good and bad the next day and clarify the descriptions to have something good but but with money, time, and hard work I could earn an oscar with what I use to create while being drunk. :o)
      But for what I've finally understood being tired more than drunk is even more powerful. I create and work in a much better way when I'm a little sleepy and it's not cringe or with missing words and sentences, and with *a little bit* of alcool it's even better. Only the rythm of the text is a little bad and has to be reworked, all is a matter of moderation. ^^
      Now I nearly never drink as I am tired of it, I've never felt addicted to alcool, and I never felt a lack of alcool.
      Everybody is different.

    23 days out from my 30th birthday.
    Advice I have for folks in their 20s:
    -Keep figuring out your mental health. If you feel like something is wrong, something is, try not to blame yourself or tell yourself you're a failure. I only got correctly diagnosed with two pretty big neurological/mental illness conditions in the last three years. Keep searching for answers and try to find whatever treatment is available to you, keep insisting that doctors take you seriously, do your own research but take Internet stuff with a grain of salt. I know trying to get mental health treatment is incredibly hard for many reasons but do the best you can.
    -Related, be okay with asking for help. Be honest about your struggles, to yourself and to others in your life. Holding it inside usually makes it worse. Younger generations have the opportunity to be more open about this and break the stigma.
    -Stop spending time on beauty standards that don't give you any personal fulfillment, if your situation allows. Do the stuff you like, for yourself. Keeping up on actual hygiene (showers, skincare, dental, etc.) is enough.
    -Learn skills, be curious. You'll feel more confident and capable and it will give you so much intellectual stimulation. Knowing basic life skills like how to cook or how to unclog a drain is just downright useful and can save you a lot of money. But going beyond the basics is a great goal, your life will be forever enriched.
    -Preventative care is SO worth learning as early as you can. Protect your skin from the sun. Take care of your teeth. Stretch your body. You don't have to be perfect, but try to do what you can, even if it's half assed.
    -Anything worth doing is worth doing half-assed. By that I mean, don't let the idea of perfection paralyze you from doing something at all. Going for a short walk is better than sitting on the couch agonizing over how you "should" be running a 5k instead. I'm still working on this one myself.
    -You don't have to do things the way that other people do for it to still be valid. Hate folding laundry? Sort your clothes into bins. Have a hard time drinking enough water? Use a curly straw.
    -For the most part, you are what you consume and what surrounds you. Try to make sure most of that is kind, calming, enriching, or whatever qualities you aspire to have, that is what you should try to seek out.

That's all that matters. remember its a long game, we have anywhere between a 40-50 year career ahead of us so put in efforts and dont expect anything nice to happen in the next 5-6 years. i think this perspective really helps a lot for me. i hope it helps you too.

      Think about everything you've accomplished over the last 23 years. Every person you've met, every joke you've told, every happy memory you have, every thing you've learned. It's a lot! It's the entirety of time you've ever experienced! And you probably didn't even realize what was happening until you were like 5 or 6. Now realize that from now until the time you're worried about, you have the entirety of the life you've already lived. Every single memory you have, every single thing you've ever experienced, every single thing that makes you who you are. And you get to have that again, just in the time between now and the time you're worried about. Isn't that insane? You did so much in the first 23 years! And for more than half of it you didn't even have agency over how you got to live it. Now you have so many options! You have more control over your life than you ever have before!
      That's not even accounting for the fact that the vast majority of people continue to do things and accomplish their goals after 40. Because remember your entire life? You know, all of existence that you've ever experienced? You not only get to live your entire lived lifespan over again, you get to do it like 3 or 4 more times! You get to live the entirety of your life again in the best conditions your life has ever been another 4 times! That's such a crazy amount of time!! I by no means have lived a full life but the idea of doing the equivalency of everything I've ever done all over again feels monumental to me! And the fact I can learn from the mess that was my early years and improve on the time I got, it's such a good deal I feel like I'm being scammed.
      Don't get me wrong, you still gotta make good choices, live for the future you, put the work in to getting the life you want. And there will be plenty of hard times, moments when life doesn't go your way and kicks you while you're down. Not every year is created equal, but that's true for the years you've already lived as well. That's life in lifespan after all. But don't ever let yourself fall into the trap of thinking you're running out of time. Because holy shit, we have such an unfathomable amount of time left! It's all of our existence and more! And even though there are always more things to do, I think that's plenty of time to achieve the goals you want to achieve

      The follow up question becomes "what is realistic?" to that sentiment. Most people don't have enough experience to determine what is a realistic goal for themselves. The best way to figure that out is to observe, experiment, consult, and persist. Observe real life examples, not the face masks people tend to put on social media. Experiment with your limits to help build a baseline of what you can achieve based on previous attempts. And consult with others in your life with more experience (but take it with a grain of salt, they might be suffering from set backs or face masking as well so use a wider pool of people to help with finding a median sample) and see how the advise might apply to your situation.
      But most importantly, persist... you're not likely going to get realistic goals lined up right away. You're likely going to under or over shoot things until you get enough experience to better assess things. There will be set backs you don't have enough experience to predict, so take the failures that come and use them to help reassess and set up the next set of goals.

    Hi, I just turned 30 this year.
    I find that a lot of older generations look back to their previous decades of life and say "man I was stupid for thinking I was old back then. NOW I'm old." This is absolutely the case for people in their 20s. When I turned 21 I literally still felt like a teenager. I still worried about stupid teenager stuff like if people still liked me or if people think my clothes looked stupid. The truth is that our insecurities about life achievements carry on way, way into our old age. My mom just turned 62 and she still thinks and talks like she's 17 years old. As kids, we inherit responsibility to live up to our parents' successes. At first you'll be worried that you're not doing enough, or that you're running out of time. You might feel like life is too short to do the things you want to do. But let me say this: life is anything but short. It's so long. Excruciatingly, painfully, devastatingly fucking long. As humans we have nothing but time. Time to learn new things, buy houses, have babies, improve ourselves physically and mentally, etc. Anxiety is a bitch. It tricks you into thinking you're not doing enough or that you're wasting the time you were given. It really just boils down to what you do with these limited years of your life -- either improving it for the people around you or the people that will exist in the future. Life is chaos and entropy and tragedy and horror and the best thing we can do for ourselves is make life easier for those we care about. Future generations are fucked enough as it is, might as well sow some positivity while we still can.

      Basically since high school I always felt that the world was going fast and I had to make all kinds of decisions that would affect the future of my life.
      I felt like that for years until I was working a job I knew how to do well but then I wanted more from it,more money but it didnt go that well and then the company closed and I had to find another job.
      I dont know if I have ever been so stressed out..
      The expectations are big,the coworkers are somewhere in the mid - some are great,some arent so great,the pay is better but there is lots more to learn and do and the job security isnt that safe(got 3 months probation that runs out at the end of this month)
      So I am basically back at start but I am not feeling that same feeling that things are moving faster than I want them to.
      That said there is some regret for not pushing at college and doing an entirely different type of job.
      I have been working on machines for 4 years and now I am on another but bigger but I feel like I am more suited for jobs on a computer like programming or similar but I either dont have that spark or simply the will to go into it cuz no job is easy and also I feel like I am getting old or just my brain got used to the same shit that it's slow at learning new things.
      idk if I am pushing myself to learn something quicker than I can.
      On old machine I worked it was very simple and I was ready to work on my own after 1 month - I did screw up many times but with every mistake I learned and eventually became really good at it.
      At 2 years mark I was basically a professional/master - I knew how to do the job the best on that machine.
      Now I am working with other coworkers on machines that are idk 10x bigger,have lots of parts,lots of things to remember yet mistakes can easily cost thousands of dollars which I feel slows down my learning cuz I feel like I remember the most when I make a mistake and the correct it vs the coworker or boss getting mad at the mistake or them just explaning what not to do.
      Sometimes I feel like I am being corrected even when I do something my way that might be a bit slower than their way and I am not let to figure out a better way on my own yet I keep being said to think about what I am doing rather than asking what to do in every single situation.
      Being new sucks,I hate working in a team but I guess I'll have to figure it out and do it cuz I need money but hopefully I can in the future find a job that suits me more.

If you got a pain - seek a medical advice. Don't believe it will go away by itself, it's a risky game to play. And time can be your friend if you act fast.

      The fact that you had a relationship for that long shows that you have commitment, and that speaks volumes.
      I’m 20, and only been in a few relationships (none spanning longer than 2 months). When I think in my free time, I came up with this: Just work on yourself. Strive towards a primary goal, then everything else will fall in place. I’m a junior in college, and I’m counting on staying committed to my career path I see myself tolerating so that I can start being an adult.

    I'll be 41 this month. I've learned that most people are thinking/worrying about their own shit 90% of the time, so being concerned about what other people think of you is based on the false assumption that they're even thinking about you at all. I've also learned that people's opinions about other people (or about anything) are a result of who they are and their own life experiences much more than a result of the thing they have an opinion about. I heard it put this way and it clicked for me -- if 100 people watch the same movie, they're all going to have different opinions about it. Some will love it, some will hate it. It doesn't change the movie. The same thing is true about people's opinions of you. You are who you are. Some people will love you, some people won't like you at all. That's based on their expectations of you more than it is about who you are as a person, and their expectations come from their own beliefs and experiences.
    Sometimes when I'm worried about what other people think, I ask myself, "If I were someone else, would I judge me for this?" Usually the answer is no, which makes it easier to dismiss other people judging me.
    Another thing I know now is that people will tell you "no" with their actions sometimes when they're not telling you with their words. This happens a lot in relationships. You tell someone what you need from them, and they don't actually say "I'm not going to do that for you," but they consistently ignore your feelings and your needs. They're telling you no with their actions.
    And one lesson I only recently learned is that you don't have to monetize everything. I have a ton of different interests -- painting, illustration, knitting and crochet, writing, decluttering, teaching, singing -- and over the years when people would tell me that I was good at something, the implication was always that I should somehow get paid for it. Start an Etsy shop, start a tutoring business on the side, etc. But what I learned is that it's okay to do things just because you enjoy them and just because they feel good, and even if you're really really good at those things, it doesn't mean you need to pursue getting paid for them. You can do things just for pleasure and for personal development. I have found that some of the things I felt I should monetize actually make me happier if I give them away for free.
    One of the best ways to feel good is to help other people overcome something you've struggled with yourself.
    Hope some of this helps someone! Thank you, @struthless, for creating a space where we can talk about these things.

I did have two jobs that aren't related to my major at all before but both sucked greatly and I felt miserable doing them. Now I'm unemployed and lost as heck, I hate my country ( I live in third world poor country and my biggest dream and goal is to find a way to get out to live and work in another developed country ) but every country got serious standards for people they are willing to give immigration chances to and so I constantly feel unworthy of these opportunities. I'm always anxious, depressed, insecure and terrified that even if I do manage to get a chance to get out of here, I might end up realizing that I can't do well there or I might not be able to benefit these countries as much as other immigrants who are way more skilled. I'm trying to improve myself now and learn as much as I can from internet. I'm an adult but I don't feel like a true adult cause I'm always in this stunned state of mind meanwhile other adults already know how to deal with society and outside world. I studied economics but since here education is shit, I spent four years in college and graduated while still not understanding anything about my major or how I'm supposed to use it to earn money.

    I think the biggest revelation for me in my 20s was that you don't ever really feel as old as you are. Your 20s is this weird span of time where teenagers see you as an adult and people in their 30s+ see you as a child still, which makes it really hard for you to know who you actually are. It's like there's this myth in society that once you reach your 20s, you're an adult now and suddenly you should know everything you need to know. The secret is, the people older than you don't feel any different than you do. You won't feel any different when you're their age. At the end of the day, age really doesn't matter. Pay attention to things like maturity, wisdom, and respect. Have fun in your 20s, but also realize that it absolutely is an important stage of growth in your life. It doesn't stop with your teenage years; you will continue to grow and learn until your hair turns white.

I found myself in a position where I felt i have no control over my life, nor over my future. I can't find my purpose and it feels like the world is crashing down on me. My girlfriend left me after 9 years because I got addicted to smoking weed and I wasn't doing anything for myself anymore. Nothing works out well. I'm trying to change my life perspective but it seems that everything I put my hands on will not work. It's just so hard but I am happy I realised that no great things come easily in life. I quit smoking, started reading insteand of playing video games, started going to gym again, basically i'm doing things that help me bring back up my selfesteem. We go through hard times because it's the only thing that can help us evolve. Everything takes time, I know I gotta focus on myself now and try to find inner peace, do things I'm passionate about, think positive and hopefully, sooner than later, I'll find my purpose.

And then you compare with your reality and feel falling back, being filled with SO MUCH regret (for going to University for 4 years, all that effort, money, nerves feel spent in vain due to better alternative). Everything you do feels inferior or "why I did not do it faster?".

    Just turned 29 so still a year away from being done with this decade of my life, but the biggest thing I've learned is that
    1. Showing up is 80% of the work. Just show up to your relationships, job, workout, whatever you want to have in life, and the rest is actually easy. Just get started
    2. You don't have to kill it at work. I've worked super hard and been told i was shit, i've been lazy and told I was amazing, find the level of effort that makes you proud of YOURSELF and stop there. Don't worry about impressing others or being like others... cuz everyone is too busy with themselves to notice.
    3. Revisit your childhood hobbies. Play is the best therapy. Ride your bike, make a doll house, catch bugs, go to the zoo, build a lego tower. and also you DON'T HAVE TO MONETIZE IT OR BE GOOD AT IT. If you enjoy it... THAT'S IT. That's all you need.

What caused this for me personally was just excessive screen time especially at night. Just ruins your mind's ability to tell when it should be tired or not, and when you finally fall asleep your brain takes advantage and sleeps for as long as possible to compensate. Try limiting your time online especially later in the day if you currently spend alot of time in front of a screen, or get some blue light glasses to make it easier on your eyes.

    One thing I learn from my early 20s is many times, being logical can't get you out of depression. Because it will find an evidence of your sadness and sounds really right but it also doesn't help your life either. Your brain can tricks you that all the negativity you faced are a prove that life isn't worth living. BUT the point is we already alive as a human being and life should feel ok to live so those logical answers that support the negativity are pretty useless or harmful instead of helpful.
    Wasting times on slow process can be painful(your mind consistently compare what you do right now that looks like crap/unfinished to the result of other's success) but it's is much better than wasting daily limited energy on supporting the voices in your head that made you hate living and hurt your tomorrows.

    as someone seeing 40 as my next bday (what even?!), I agree with your assessment of 20's for sure! I have a few things to add: 1) GET THERAPY. find a therapist that clicks with you, and talk that shit out. it has helped SO MUCH (and I am still in therapy, after going off and on throughout my 20s and 30s). fire the therapist if it isn't working for you, too. you're not obligated to spend money on them if they're not giving you what you need to get where you want to go!
    2) YOU ARE NOT A DESTINATION. life is a journey, you're a forever-project, you're not going to reach "done" until you're dead. just give yourself space to experiment and try things and see what you like and what you don't. it's okay to change your mind, too.
    and 3) a big thing I have noticed in my 30s that I wish I had known in my 20s, that kind of jives with your "assume everyone is fighting a monster" is: folks do not care about your appearance as much as you do. got a big zit on your face? they might notice but they're probably worried about the zit on their neck that they're hoping you don't notice. are you female-presenting and didn't shave your legs and you're wearing shorts? NO ONE CARES IF YOUR LEGS ARE SMOOTH AS SILK. same for underarm hair. wear makeup, don't wear makeup - do whatever you want that makes you happy with your appearance. get that tattoo. shave your head. dye your hair purple. go cottage core with your wardrobe. life is too dang short to not be your authentic self - even as you're figuring out what the heck that is!

Fortunately, I've been in the situation where most of my 20s dread came during college like when I had to change majors or otherwise fail and had to start thinking about what future me would need to deal with if I didn't change my current self now. Having studied psychology helped a lot too. And now I treat my 20s like a training arc for my 30s. Sadly, the other things like being broke-ish and underexperienced still happened and I get a little envious when people my age are doing well - but I just have to trust myself that by 30 or a little later after, I'll be in good shape too. The biggest thing that helped me out is that "...you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" which is a joke but also it's true. And that we tend to remember the bad things more than the good, so make more good to outweigh the bad keeps you troubled.

      Hey darling, life is in the here and now. Life is not somewhere else, place or time. Don't spend your life chasing windmills. If I can tell you one thing I've learned, is that the happiest people on this planet are those who learn to appreciate the here and now, the small things, the places where life shows it's beauty, that most people completely miss because they are chasing distractions, illusions. Be kind as much as you can, it feeds your spirit, find a way to help other lives, practice mindfulness (I cannot emphasize this enough), start a practice of meditation (it's a process, don't get discouraged), take care and move your body, learn about wu wei and watch the beauty of life unravel. Never forget, we cannot even imagine the doors that will open along the way. As Rilke said, do not seek the answers that cannot be given to you in the present moment, because you wouldn't be able to live them.

    Thank you for taking the time to make this video and for being so open and honest throughout the entirety of it. This video popped up on my feed out of the blue (I have followed you on Instagram for a couple of years but not here for some reason), and I am really glad it did. Your first few points really hit the nail on the head as far as my own experiences are concerned (I’ll turn 24 in a couple weeks). I had a great undergraduate experience and then, upon entering grad school, had several big life obstacles all hit at once a couple years ago, and I still feel as though I’m picking up the pieces. I have certainly had a hard time letting go of some of the careless/fun habits I used to enjoy all the time, acknowledging the reality of my current situation, and stopping the comparison between myself and those around me. So, while this video is a year old and you may not see this comment, thank you again!

      You know what?
      Don't take life too serious, let it go, everything will turn out, I'm 30 now and still feel like I'm 23, and I look like it 😂 and you'll figure everything out. I promise.
      Don't loose yourself in relationships, go out be playful, take risks, get help if your fucked up.
      Be with yourself and just move. Do something, if it's right or wrong and you can't tell know just do it, because afterwards you'll know if it's right or wrong.
      My advices up there are so important because nowadays it's hard to feel yourself and find a gap where to fit in.
      But you got the chance to get to know you.
      And if your ever hitting a point where everything feels senseless, and like your stucked, you got two options, hoping that life is making something pushing you from your back and you'll fall really hard because it'll come without a warning, or second option you turn around, find your fears, except them and work with them, give yourself a new way. Shadow work.
      And he'll yes its gona be a bumpy ride, but how else should life shake you out of your mind and body state.
      Or shake yourself. Everyday, don't give up, you didn't made it to get a knew routine in your life because your only made it through 3 days?
      Simply go on.
      There's simply no use in self judge.
      Love to you all!

I struggle with issues like anxiety and I have no friends so I’m always a bit depressed. Aside from being a father, I have no idea how to get the rest of my life going. I don’t know how to love my hobbies and sometimes I don’t even how if I have proper hobbies. I feel alone so often it’s not funny. I often wonder if my life will actually get to a point where I’m happy with it. I love my kids and fiancé but I feel like I’m missing 85% of the rest of what I should have in life.
