This mans voice would be so great in fantasy/fiction audiobooks!
He sounds like a wise wizard
this! hope he reads comments, and can look into how to applie for it!
@@TheHeytrix I shall try my best.
@@rixorapter I agree there is potential as well. On a practical sense this kind of creative and rather narrow career is hard to get into and scary to pursue. But if you really want to do it you could practice it, record yourself and create something to create something that you can show to other people. And possibly try to find someone to work with online. I'm not sure what specific field you would want to work in but indie games and some kind of youtube storytelling comes to mind for example. Best of luck!
So you know Kruseff, this talk and the things you've said led to one of the biggest breakthroughs of my entire life and I wanted to thank you to no end man.
❤
He made me laugh when he said he disagrees but he's probably wrong because it's probably his ego lol
@@leahflower9924 lol just laughed at this same thing - and I think he was spot on, too.
Anyway, have a great life, friend!
I went through the same thing my entire life until the end of 2020. I moved away and forced myself to change my point of view. I chose to do something completely different, as an experiment. Lo and behold, my life changed drastically for the better.
"Are you telling me to start camming?"
Too bad Dr. K. didn't get his dry reference here. This guy seems pretty cool actually.
I think you're pretty cool too.
It's amazing with dr. K's preface as well -"what you're going to have to do will be demeaning"
I wish i could have seen twitch chat at that moment
@@rixorapter good for you coming on and talking. good luck to you :)
Fuck that was funny
i wish more therapists were trained like dr k. i know he has background in eastern yogic philosophy, and i don’t think that is predominant in western psychology education. maybe it is just how my brain processes information, but hearing dr. k almost always gives me a new and helpful perspective on my problems. i also feel like i have to give credit to watching his videos for improving my communication skills.
the growth of life never has to cease! its only our filthy brains which we have to stand in our own way of becoming better today than we started out yesterday over and over tens of thousands of times
@@XPCREEPER Speak for yourself, lol.
I have yet to listen to one of these without relating to them.
We all have the same underlying machinery. Maybe a different OS for some people, but when it comes down to brass tacks we're all the same.
D L All diffrent, but all the same.
We’re all infinite beings
@@TempestRequiem0 Self help is just updating OS with current drivers
@@PinkmanKid Self help is more like coding those drivers yourself.
"You've gotta take a chance that you are better than you think you are." Thank you, Dr. K!
Oh my god, that quote astounds me. I should try that.
Inaction is the true disease of the modern world! That's why are depressed, obese and sad.
"You gotta take a chance, that you are better than what you think you are... and that's a dangerous game."
Chills! This quote!
This is my good friend, and I feel like a lot of you guys may want to see more from him judging by the comments, so I'll let you all know he's got a twitch that he streams periodically on www.twitch.tv/krusif/
I hope he is doing better. I have shown this to my kids and I hope it’s helping him as much as it is helping others
Ahw man, there’s no content on that channel. I really wanted to see him voice act
I am exactly the same with jobs. I don't look down on anyone who works the jobs but I just can't see myself personally working those jobs, and if I do work the job I will feel like I'll hate my life. Same goes for jobs I'm qualified for but instead of an ego it's the opposite, I have no confidence in my ability to the jobs I've studied for. Dang it
Still ego my guy
You know, reading this, I feel like the ego is definitely involved, yes, but also I feel as though people in general are encouraged to not speak down on others. This may be me projecting, but it feels as though you don’t want to admit that you DO look down on these people. It’s not in a way of malice or anything personal. It’s just that you look at them, and do in fact judge them. That’s ok. Admitting it is important.
So yes, you do look down on these people. It’s just hard to admit that bc it’s so ingrained to not. You aren’t awful or dreadful, you’re human and just have to check your ego. Again, may just be projection, but it was definitely something that held me back from growing as a person. Could definitely be wrong though, you could be chill as hell. Plus this is from a year ago, so who knows!
@@gothicpuma1736 I see it from my perspective to be more looking down on yourself for doing "lesser" jobs, which might project on others. It's also very well understood by the OP that the trait of jobs he dislikes are jobs he's less qualified for in competence
This guy would make a fantastic voice actor. (we've collectively decided to call him this guy apparently)
This guy appreciates that.
He has a nice voice, he sounds grossly overweight though, but there's more to voice acting than just having a nice voice, and every weeb on the internet wants to be a voice actor. If you ask me he should go back to college, apply for a study that will get him the job he does see himself doing, and maybe do the voice stuff on the side.
@@ReddoFreddo Nothing interests me in college and it wouldn't serve me well regardless of what I choose to do. There are far more important things to me right now like my mental and physical health that I'm choosing to focus on. I have more than a nice voice and am trained in acting and voice over. I am not looking to become world renown voice talent, I want to make a small amount of money to sustain myself that involves media is some way via content creation. That could be voice acting, streaming, making videos, anything, this is where I am passionate and talented.
@@rixorapter Darn, I thought to myself that I shouldn't write that comment because he might actually read it, didn't notice I was literally talking to you. I didn't know you were serious about it, in that case, more power to you, I hope you make it. It's just that I see people saying they want to do voice acting in my life left right and center, I feel like it's something that's almost impossible to make a living off of. I'm sorry for saying you sound grossly overweight, that was an insensitive way of putting it, I do think you sound like you're in bad health though, kind of exhausted and overweight, but we know that you can and will lose weight, so that shouldn't be an issue in a year or so.
Krusif do eeeet
I'm a 61 year old woman and even though I'm in different circumstances, I totally GET Kruseff! I love listening to these talks with Dr. K. They are fascinating and they all apply to me at least a little.
yeah these talks are really eye opening. to the point of being extremely painful and excruciating. the way he will affirm to us that sometimes the most common sense and simple sounding ideas were the keys weve been needing to try and use all along to crack the codes of our lives. and everything always relates to us more than we can admit. every human on earth is almost completely the exact same thing. just like we view ants and stuff. the amount of complexity we have allows for each of us individually to also be fully unique from any person that has ever or will ever live on the planet. but thats just a consequence of how big the number of possible humans with the avaliable amount of allowed random dna variation of sequences mathematically being so high so many things superficial and trivial alike can differ between us, but all along we are sooooo much more the exact same than we are ever able to realise and it feels so dumb. sometimes i hate that we have all these cool new gadgets because even tho im lucky enough to be a little baby 20 year old im sitting here and way too much of the time submitting to and embracing nothingness and misery and holding back and overthinking and just wanting to do absolute nothing as much as possible with the most insnaely stupid as fuckign shit subconcious reasons that are so fake and mind created that i if i kenw what they are then maybe i could stop them from controlling me. i can feel that they contain very little mass and power but its just so allusive and agile . everything is always yin and yang i cant appreciate how amazing cool and fufilling something is without then thinking about how it also doesnt matter and the feeling goes away and darknes always follows and the up and down and up and down and up and down balancew that makes up the straight and pointed forwards line that life is . somehow have to accept that in a big picture the line of life would be visibly identical to a straight line bceause of how far back we could view it and sum up the whole life in a short and straight line, but if you take a microscope to it we can see that its really very jaged and looks like a stock market graph that just so happens to start and end at the same magnitude yet change so much inbetween. we are supposed to just be okay with that and instead im realizing live in the moment and fuck that is so god damn hard but that helps because then youre just ridingthe waves as they come if youre down you get some good to look for ward to
Hey! Me too .. I'm 61.feel the same way about Dr k❤
40:00 really hit close to home. I am almost hoping that something is wrong with me, because if my mentality would be the only thing holding me back, that would make me an even bigger loser than I already think I am..
Just notice that the conclusion, you would be an even bigger loser than you think you are, is also a problem of mentality or ego.
Why? Many people have the same struggle.
I hope that guy puts together a good recording setup and sends a demo reel of voice clips out to some indie game devs. I don't think it would take long for him to start voice acting that way
Upvote
Wow this talk really resonates with me. Never thought I could've had an ego problem.. I've always mocked the jedi for being so arrogant. Guess the last laugh, Yoda now has.
Thank you Dr K!
ok this comment is mad funny
I heard that alot of times when we find something or someone unappealing, it could be that it's a trait within us that we have yet to acknowledge. P.S I also dislike arrogant people lol
yeah i know exactly what you mean. i believe we all find outselves in this dillema because the schooling system is so dogshit trash and we are in such a werid time in history that makes everythign so comical like a sitcom were our real life is like the creation of a smart persons mind i could imagine of just their imagination or a novel they could write that is completley supposed to be comically satire and every single point twist and turn its always the most insane twisted and soemhow connected at the end things just how school never teaches anyone about ego or any of the other 50 topics that could be so quick and simple to atleast touch on and make sure everyoen has a better chance to consider and solve life before tis too late and they die. we both just go thru so many years of being young and not even knowing and never even being told just a simple fact such as, you have an ego, every person has an ego, it is responsible for this that etc and manifest in these ways and does those things at this time blah blah whatever. none of that we just simply viewed it as a more simple thing that is just for these certain other group of dumb/bad 'others' 'narcissists' and the like and is just the way they are, but we were part of the other group that just hardly ever at all could possibly act based on the ego. the fact that anyones allowed to think that without atleast being taught before the contrary truths, is very criminal i feel. mitochondria tho amirite? endo plasmic reticulum ribo some vacuole flagella golgi apparatus and some chloroplastic organells are all freshly retrievable words in my mind for what reason tho that is disgusting
I've watched quite a few of those interviews and the problem introduced here seems like a fucking overwhelming beast. I also relate to this the most. Would love to see more of it being discussed.
I love watching these, learning about myself and thinking of these inner issues with the perspective Dr.k gives just is soooo fulfilling
You are a great man, thanks for your hard work helping the gaming/twitch community
Such a cool dude, the voice the look the attitude. I loved it. Hope he gets better he seems to be able to put out some really good stuff to the world. I could hear him talk all day!
Seems like a cool guy. I can relate on many levels, probably because I'm a pretty cool guy as well. But yeah, work has always been an issue for me and as much as I hate admitting it, there's a part of me that thinks I'm too good for work and also a part of me that's afraid of being stuck there forever. The truth is that I can just apply for another job when I feel like I'm not moving forward. I make myself stuck and I try to power through until I crash and burn. It's time to change that.
I'm on my first day of unemployment now after working an IT job for almost exactly a year. I started having panic anxiety attacks because I ignored all the signals telling me to GTFO and do something more meaningful. Partly because I'm afraid of opening up to the possibility that there is something better out there for me - being hopeful and open like that is also being vulnerable which is super scary. It's like liking a girl and actually asking her out. It's easier to tell yourself that it ain't gonna happen instead of putting yourself out there, right?
But, this time I'm going to believe that the world can provide meaning and that I deserve it even though I've trained myself to believe the opposite for so long. It's going to feel uncomfortable because it will go against the image I have of myself and then world but it's fucking time to let go of old limiting beliefs.
One step at a time, through the setbacks, fear, and disappointments. We've got this bruhs, let's move in the right direction 👊😍
Thanks so much for your comment! Your note on liking someone and not asking them out was just what I needed to figure out how I'm sabotaging my love life.
I absolutely ADORE this community. It's so refreshing to read such beautifully supportive, and compassionate communication. ❤❤❤❤
This man, Rick is an amazing person, even willing to talk about this and being honest with yourself and with Dr. K, he has made progress and honestly I felt like crying a little when I listened to him, I relate so hard to this, but he can do it, he can overcome this, because he is strong enough to ask for help, I'm rooting for you.
Hey, just in case Rick is watching.. I completely see myself within you. You helped me so much. Thank you so much for sharing.
@@rixorapter OMG hey :D
@@rixorapter how are you doing now, Krusef
@@dad4378 Much better, back to streaming soon just waiting on my camera to arrive. Hope you enjoyed and that my experience could help.
@@rixorapter yes it has! What is your stream. I'd like to watch you! :D
This opened my third eye thank you for both of you . For this amazing video and for sharing it with us
This helped so much. My goals were grand but so vague, so I felt like I was going in circles just trying to decide what to do first. 9:54
I believe he will be very successful and find his inner strength
Amazing interview, would like to see more with this guy. his jokes are great as well xD
A MUST WATCH for those who have a big ego!
I resonate with this guy the most out of anyone you've had on, as far as the ego thing. However I will say he seems a bit more intelligent than me
Realized now that my ego is what holds me back and the cause for most of the negligence in my life
Not true
How would you even measure intellect? One day im a sloth and another i have an epiphany...
Hey I'm from Swansea Wales too! I got a guy in my office who reminds me of him. This interview made me pretty emotional and at the end to find out he lives near me is pretty cool. Also this guy should become a voice actor!
Title should be about ego. They didn’t discuss food addiction.
Dr. K always goes around to get into the most important aspects of a problem someone is having. Nonetheless I see your point
Jamie R I think that’s was Zapi was saying. Titling another video “ego xyz” might not be as obviously helpful as ‘eating addiction’, it would get those who need this advice more likely to click on it
They changed it now.
Very kind and open man, relatable. A great productive conversation thanks Dr.K!
This man is literally the best therapist ever
Get help, Mr k shouldn't be anywhere near therapy, he manipulates his guests and his audience for money.
@@zachalmighty7104 Umm how??
@@zachalmighty7104 In what sense do you feel he manipulates others? I’m not pro or against, though he seems competent at least.
@@zachalmighty7104Can you do better?
@@rudeboyjim2684 There are several instances of him pushing his streams guests into bad emotional states in order to get a reaction from his chat or the guests themselves, he's basically the internet's Dr Phil, uses his knowledge and influence to "help gamers" calls his business model "aoe healing" . There are several red flags, his fans choose to ignore.
Loving this channel, so insightful. Wellness coaching seems appropriate with the therapy in this situation to build self-efficacy, experimenting and small wins, wish this guy luck!! Seems like a genuinely smart dude who definitely is capable. Great episode.
Edit: He is relatable in a sense that his ego gets in the way with not wanting to fail in life and he has this defense of setting the bar so slow he can’t disappoint himself or others in life...we all fail, but it doesn’t feel good and we can’t learn without trying.
Wellness Sarah exactly , many people are afraid to "lose"
Exactly, doing nothing is easier because then you don’t feel the failure or disappointment of trying and not succeeding. I think baby steps might be the way to go to build confidence.
Wellness Sarah Yes indeed thats what worked for me !
Amazing thank you so much!! This conversation helps a lot
this is the greatest interview on this channel. i'm basically him and I learned a fuckton in this vid! thx a million to the both of you!
As a trainer and someone who advises folks on nutrition, I’m really interested to see where this discussion goes!
Thank you Krussef this helped and still helps me a lot
Wow, this one's old, but it's so good! It caused me to have multiple revelations...I feel for this man 😢❤
This was so bittersweet. Is there a part two? I hope Krusif made it though 2020.
Someone linked his twitch and it says he was live at some point last year, so he at least made it to 2022.
amazing talk, I can relate so much. Both of you made terrific job
12:20 dr. K is a man of culture in video games! I love the fact he knew exactly how to use Morrowind in this example.
PERFECT!
*Although it was annoying as hell given that I started with Oblivion as well trying to find those quests.
Just wild. I wish you all the best of luck, hope and progress 🙏
this meant a lot to me. thanks to both of you
That Morrowind quest description sounds very familiar to the Balmora Mages Guild quest where they send you to look for Manwes dues or something like that :'D
It 100% was a Balmora's mage guild reference
after the meditation I felt this vibration throughout my body and especially in my hands. It felt strange but powerful, rhythmic almost.
Breathing exercises: 1:06:50
It is one of the "pranayams"
This one is commonly known as "Anloma viloma" or alternate breathing.
Fantastic conversation. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Watching this interview again, hope this guy is doing well.
I wish I could have Dr. K as my therapist. He's amazing
It's weird that guy have same problems than me but I am more extraverted and even so I figure out being better I didn't know about my ego, thank you for that lesson and thank you for that guy that has the bravety to offer his tears 🙏
Great voice man, I would love to listen to your audiobook narrating to fall asleep 😴
i love to listen to this talks.
it really sharp my questioning.
He looks so cute when he smiles !!! 😅😇☺ looks so kind and loving.
"...and you made some kind of joke"
"It was a great joke"
hahahaha this guy, hope he gets out of his own head. I think he would be a really great fun guy with a lot to offer.
didnt he say "and you made some weird kind of joke" and then the corpulent guy said "it was a weird joke" and then dr.k said " im sure it was"?
My man did I get my boy Krussef, four years later and I hope my boy at the very least is doing a bit better. He resonates with me deeply, I struggled with similar issues, being overweight because of overeating as a coping mechanism, maladaptative patterns and this thing called ego, anxiety and depression. I am taking action, I am fortunate enough to have the support of my loved ones both economically and emotionally, but boy has been hard, specially the part of wanting to just retreat to your former self because is easier.
Thank you for reminding me that it’s healthy to not retreat to our former selves
Thank you Krussef
This is one of the most important streams on the channel.
Dr K gets intense sometimes and I love it
I am a professional voice actor, that’s procrastinating rn. This whole conversation I was picturing his struggle from A very similar pov. Imagine my surprise at the end, when he claimed the same career. 🤯 - I believe In God, and that things like this is how he communicates. It’s like a sign that I’m on the right path of learning how to be better
Thank you Dr. K for using your incredible talent to help us uncover the things holding us back.. and thank you Krusif for having the courage to allow those layers to be peeled back in front of so many; it might be embarrassing, but this stuff really does have the power to change people's lives (and if you take this stuff to heart, yours as well)
Such a good segment but I wish the guest really elaborated and opened up more because I related quite a bit.
His tone sounds somewhere in between a young David Attenborough and Peter Cullen voicing Eeyore. I would love to see him go far!
i need parts of this on a loop for hope.
I used to feel the suicidal - job tether as well, until I had to start paying for my own food, and roof over my head.
Really good video, many things i could relate to
I am this guy, and I couldn't help but well up when he quoted Uncle Ben. Dr. K really is all our Uncle Bens.
I am thankful that TH-cam autoplay brought me here. I dont have a problem with food addiction so I wouldn't have watched this video. I do believe I have an ego problem and I wish the title was different.
holy moly his voice is amazing
What a session! This could help so many people.
Not directly about food addiction as the title made me expect. Would be a good problem to cover
I also take a baby step forward and then a rubber band snaps me back. Several years ago, I got a $500 one year membership at a fitness club. I went there once for a short workout and that was it. Self sabotage is something that I'm very good at doing. Throwing away good relationships for relationships that are stressful and toxic, not understanding why.
This makes no sense to me. What is the goal of ego? On the one hand, it embraces negative thoughts about yourself,
on the other, it says that you are too good to do a certain job.
How does this work?
1:05:01 talking about those 2 voices just described my experience today and I’m happy to learn better
Oh, I hope he started to do audiobooks! If only we had a where are they now segment.
I hope this guys doesn’t feel alone, bc I have his same problem :) I’m not proud but I’m also not alone 💕 and neither is he. 💕 I will take the actions necessary to reach my goals. I need to do this for me and stop being arrogant and believe in myself. I will grow and it will not be easy, but as a said; WE are NOT ALONE ! :)
I click on the vid and Dr. K is already poppin off
yes his voice is spectacular...he def should do voice acting and audio books! !!!! my God would love to see him as an actor in a film as well! perfect fantasy character..harry potter or lotr
Dr. K: The final boss of life is YOU!
Me: .... Nega Scott? Is that you?
Cool interview. The only thing I don't get is the food reference in the thumbnail. They haven't talked about food, have they?
This was very insightful
This breathing exercise has been my favorite so far, I've no clue why.
So I followed along with the end meditation, and when we were done, I was a bit light headed and my vision was a bit sparkly? was that normal?
17:41 me too my man, you're not alone.
Holly crap guys, this resonates a lot with me.
I wish there is part 2 where it would be answered: you got the job you are doing it, you are not moving up and you are disappointed and you cant switch jobs that easily. Your hardwork is not paying up, so do you just work less or how to move on from that standstill?
title and description are way off from what this actually is lol
Feels so strange to have so much in common with someone across the world. this gives me some hope
@healthygamergg can you please put these up on spotify podcasts
I almost have the exact same problem 😂 I'm going to graduate with a biochemistry degree with four minors soon. I live in a crappy Midwest city that I'm going to stay in because I have family members that need me, but the only jobs that are available to newly graduates only pay $20/hour and that's not enough. A. I feel like I'm too good for them because none of my peers have four minors and worked part-time in labs for five years. B. They don't provide enough to help me support my family. C. I could earn about as much serving sushi rolls, so I feel like my degree and four minors, as well as my years working in labs, were a waste of time. But whenever I try to talk to people about this, they say I'm arrogant and just lazy and don't want to work. I'm not fucking lazy! I work about 65 hours a week on school. My mentor even said that I was self-absorbed. Well, sorry, I'm not a crappy teenager with no standards looking for a first job, I'm 24 years old, but everyone wants me to take the crappy teenager job that pays $19/hour and no health benefits or 401k match.
His voice is so nice he should be a voice actor.
Chat, y'all were savage on this one 😂. Sending love to the caller and wishing you the best
dealing with bullshit at jobs takes a lot of mental energy. think of your mental energy like a stamina bar in Skyrim, going down over time.
if you run out of stamina completely, you are going to lose your next combat. so you have to do things that replenish that bar, and not just on your days off, but on your workdays as well.
I love the Elder Scrolls analogy
I hope that guy is doing good
"Again indifferent" this guy is coming in strong
What, was this interview made for me lol some aspects are different but overall pretty accurate lol
In the unlikely chance that Rick sees this I want to touch on what he said, about people watching the stream about Dr. K and not him. Of course we do, in part, that's why we're watching this channel and not someone else's. But at the same time, why do you think I skipped dozens of his other interviews after 10 minutes but watched this one from beginning to end without pause?
I feel it's important to point this out because after watching I remembered that I do this same thing with people too, and I did it with my therapist as well. Like I just wouldn't accept that I can offer some kind of value or cobtribute anything to any manner of situation. And I think my "condition" is very similar to yours.
Word
I like him, he's funny 22:00 "It's the power of my brain clicking."
Dr. K bang on about Morrowind 😂😂 so funny playing it now, it's so much harder than I remember!
This sounds like adhd. I'm the same. I need to find something I like enough to keep my attn. I get bored very quickly. I've been "working" online for over a decade but haven't found a damn thing that I can get excited about long term. Doing it for the hope of wealth ain't cutting it. I had a business that was extremely lucrative and could've grown huge but divorce hit and I lost my mental shit. Everything gone and I've not been able to reenact that with anything else
I can't recreate the same line of business because I'm not physically capable. I could educate through writing etc 'except for' some of my practices were unorthodox, not illegal.. Just not to be replicated through others businesses. 'Except for' ... It doesn't excite me to do it enough to start. I'm an instant gratification kind of gal 'except for' ... (😂) once I get the dopemine hit I'm off to do something else. I need an adult babysitter/daily coach at 61 (bootcamp😂) routine is my best and most hated friend🤔P.S. Not as simple as I've got a problem for every solution btw
*Thanks for reading❤
