That might be part of why I do it so much. I got so sick of small talk and having the same fake conversation with people every day. I guess mow I'm just always real haha
33:05 The feeling of meeting someone that just makes your life better in the most trivial and casual way is something I relate to so much. I met one of my best friends in college after a class. I heard him and some friends talking about Lovecraft and I just... said "f'thagn"... out loud. It was an impulse in the moment. And he turned around, looked at me, moved chairs and we just started talking about everything. 3 years later he's still one of my best friends
I’m so glad that I came across this video. Your words carried with me through out the whole day and it was so vulnerable hearing you talk about your life. Thank you for making this video and I hope you are doing well. I definitely needed this. 💚
What happened with your former best friend has happened to me too many times to count. People I thought were my good friends suddenly had convenient excuses every time I tried to hang out with them, until eventually they just stopped talking to me altogether because I guess they just got sick of me? The worst part is the lack of closure when people ghost you like that; to this day I still don't know what I did wrong or what to do differently in the future to avoid the same outcome with new friends.
The lack of closure is one of the hardest parts about it for sure. It leaves the door open to every possibility as to why it happened, which is a torturous state
@@ProfessorViral What really helped was when my therapist reminded me that those people were probably going through their own shit too and it wasn't necessarily my fault. It's been such a pattern in my life that I have a bad habit of assuming that these people always end up leaving me because something is wrong with ME and I have to remind myself that may not actually be true. But because of the lack of closure I'll never know for sure
As the person who ghosts others, even knowing the pain it can cause, I can tell you it isn't you generally, its the other person. We all going through something, and generally people ghost because they're too consumed in there own neurosis to feel like they can help or have the right to help others.
People may complain about it but your personal segments really hit close to home. You speak truth to the actual human experience in many of them. Here, you saying think about how many stories YOU are included into through other people put shit into a lot of context for me. I watched this video earlier today with $10 to my name and rent looming. I figured the situation out by nightfall but had a talk with a friend of over 10 years that spanned ours. This video entered my head during it. Im not in a good place, and all of my closest friends ive made in these last 10 years are coming together because of that "collision of life." I dont think about it much, but Ive changed all their lives in a way where i am irreplaceable. It took them telling ME that for me to realize. I agree with you. Fuck science, fuck religion. We dont know where we came from or where we are going. But you look around and the only thing you see are (ideally), other human being living their own lives. I dont know a lot. But i know we need each other. Thank you for this video man. Dont stop doing what you're doing. And dont stop the honest truth of the experience.
You know what professor viral you should have been a counselor because you have the unique ability to unravel the deeper meanings hidden in these shows that most anime reviewers seem to miss. Never stop being awesome Prof.
I have to watch your videos atleast once a week. Otherwise i get so overwhelmed with my self thought. My life has definitely improved since starting my journey to self discovery and improving my mental/physical condition
Really like these videos where you talk about a certain topic and then draw examples from anime to solidify amd further explore your point and make it easier to get across. It's a really a good format and I don't see it anywhere else.
honestly, after the last bit I'm on the verge of crying, idk what I'm feeling but it's just strange the whole "you're also in someone's else story like this one" and such is just.. I don't have words to explain that... either way thank you for your amazing content and hope you have a nice day
Ah, as always thank you for the video and sharing your own story, but in particular thank you for those last few minutes. I usually forget that I have an impact on those around me, and when they express it I just dismiss it as if it was nothing - or as if it was meant to be said out of formality. But for once those words actually hit home, so thank you.
I am very happy our lives have collided in this way. We may never physically meet and exchange words but you are definitely impacting my life in positive ways with your videos. I feel so very similar to you in a lot of ways and feel many feelings you express in these videos. Feelings repressed or lost in the subconscious. This channel is helping me grow, even if by a tiny little margin but regardless of how small it is important. Im happy you exist and decided to make this content. Looking forward to more.
The irony of this video is IMMENSE for me. Erased was in my list on Netflix for well over a year and the other day a friend told me to watch it. I forgot. This video reminded me so I stopped and watched the whole thing. It was fantastic and exactly what I needed on this horrible day. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your stories in your videos, I love hearing about others experiences, and seeing how they can change someone, it also gives me courage to try something I wouldn't, so thank you for your amazing work, and thank you for existing
This reminds me about how I met my girlfriend. It was the first day of highschool, primary school had been pretty rough so I was just a lil broken emotionally at the time, some guy I was talking to went to greet his friend and I decided in that moment to go with him. And I met her! We just instantly got along, immediately clicked. We had to cut off the guy because he got really jealous and accused me of “stealing his girl” (they’d been broken up a year) but I will always admit I owe him one for introducing him to my soulmate. Love at first sight CAN happen kids🥰
should cover rezero, beserk and maybe neon genesis if you haven't already, re zero especially it has a very good personification of change and learning to overcome personal faults
There was once this person in middle school gym class who kicked me, whether it was intended or not (hard to tell looking back on it as we were playing soccer), that somehow started off a friendship with them. Things went well, and even though we didn’t share too many common interests, we still were friends. However, about 4 years later I began to feel a disconnect. The group chat of me, them and other friends began to have less and less new messages. We met up with said friends for a Christmas party. One thing led to another and there were two groups of people: me with another person and the others. After the party, there was very limited discussion on the group chat, and then they practically started ignoring me from there. I could write a whole story about that night, what led up to it, and the aftermath, but I’m not gonna do that in a TH-cam comment section lol. Too much writing, personal things, and time to actually lay it out to make sense. All in all, I don’t think badly of them. They were just doing what they thought was best, and even though I wish I was still friends with them, I’m just glad they’re happy. For good and for bad, that person and the night that split us will be in my head forever.
God dam it man, the whole reason I found your channel was because of a mid life crisis I had because of a anime that really should not have caused it. The reason I clicked this video is because you have already gone through what I am experiencing right now. So I hope you can slowly show me the way to something different. So just wanted to let you know you have changed a life, for better or worse I have yet to find out. I will hopefully stop posting about this as it slowly passes and hopefully still watching your videos, but if not. I Love all your teaching that you found through anime and life. It helped me out a lot and I hope I never forget what you have done for me. Good stuff, keep up the hard work.
Ah yes, now armed with my new profound understanding of how stupid I've been and aways am, I shaw go on and try to make my life even less miserable, thanks!
@@ProfessorViral agreed! From The New World and Psycho Pass do such creative jobs to ask the questions i think they were trying to ask of what it means to be human within a group and all the dangers that comes with when trying to regulate violence/justice. Love the questions they pose to population ethics, morality, and the concept of what is justice when we are not all made equally/the same. Spoilers: Who was more evil in From the New World? The Elders that set up the main society. Or Squeera for his "ends justifies the means" and dictator like approach to the revolt? Who's more dangerous in society, the judge or the deviant? What even is deviance vs just being another lifestyle?
Oh damn you just posted that. Well, i clicked because i like you analysis. In fact i didn't really like this anime that much but i will let you open my perspective to the qualities you see in it.
Some correction, Mikado didn’t wish for a simple life even for the end of the series, he just accepts it and tries his best to live that life to his fullest
Always enjoy your videos. Ive lived with other people my whole life; my mother and siblings, and now a roommate. I want a one bedroom apartment but its impossible with a full time minimum wage job and thats unfair. Still though, im sure id enjoy the peace and quiet id sought for a long time. Though of course, coming back home with no one there waiting is sad; not a girlfriend or pet. Solitude is perfect until that small human part that craves socialization pops up and you need to sate it. Every friendship ive made happened by chance but in adulthood, those chances seem like a rarity.
Random thoughts I can't stand that anime makes high school look like the only stage of life. What about life after highschool? That would be interesting.
I'm definitely exhausted of high school stories. New settings and times really help develop interesting series to. I love that Steins;Gate is detached from school for example. Okabe being graduated, but not really showing signs of being "adult" is part of what develops his character so well
@@thales5955 There are a bunch of documentaries if you want to go in depths but ro sum it up the japanese police is very corrupt and would rather declare suicide on someone who's been stabbed 45 times in the back than actually do any detective work so they can classify it as solved and not put down the statistics about the efficiency of the japanese police...
@@thales5955 there was also a very big case in japan where a little girl had been kidnapped and killed and they declared is closed when they made a random guy admit via days of complete lock and pressure to admit. Then some reporter actually found the culprit and proved the dna test was defective and the police didn't want to arrest the actual culprit to avoid admitting to how little they worked on it. So they freed the person they wrongly accused something like 30-40 years later but the culprit is still roaming free.
@@ProfessorViral Agreed. I admit that the part where the big guy said that he saw her drowning and didnt do anything hit pretty hard. Youre just a child and dont really understand whats going on and when you finally do its gonna follow you for the rest of your life.

Hay dude your content is really good your definitely worth a sub ✌️
These videos are my mind analyzing the anime I just watch at 3 AM questioning my life and others, all together
Thats way too validating a description 🤣
you made me feel more human in a world that makes everyone into a simple file format ........ thankyou :")
No problem. You all do the same for me, so thank you as well
I love our genuine and heartfelt examples.
I don't get enough of this in my life honestly.

Every time I watch your videos I always learn something new about life and other things in general. Keep up the good work Professor!
Thank you, I'll try my best for sure!

This is one of the best videos I have ever listened to it’s criminal how underrated it is
This made me cry. Thank you SO much for making these videos.
Of course, it means so much to see that they really can impact people so much 😁

Existing to exist was the first of the videos I watched and I genuinely enjoy content and your personal storytelling. 🖤
I'm getting strong Nietzsche and the Eternal Return vibes from this. And a sprinkle of Amor Fati.
Anohana the flower we saw that day was one of the only anime that has legitimately made me cry
I have to watch your videos atleast once a week. Otherwise i get so overwhelmed with my self thought. My life has definitely improved since starting my journey to self discovery and improving my mental/physical condition
