Need for Control guy here In my younger years I’ve blindly trusted employers and other institutions that didn’t serve me. I’m now learning to manage myself and my time so I don’t need to be back in that position to survive.... ...However, this leaves room for analysis paralysis on what I can control and what I cannot. Essentialism by Greg Mckeown helped me deal with this but your video has reminded me of the importance of this

Need for acceptance (by everyone) pretty much negatively influences every part of my life. Been working on it.

That's such a good book! Love ot

I like to think that when people say something funny about me or laugh at me, it is them who have a problem, it is them who are insecure.

It's weird because most people are people pleasers, but at the same time nobody really gives a shit about anybody else. It's like living in a movie and everyone is playing a part. No wonder there's so many mental health problems nowadays, how can you stay sane when the world in front of you isn't real.

That is not true.

And is in fact one the cliches.

In a physical sense, perhaps. But what about towards the actions from individuals and in a mental and emotional sense? We, ourselves, although not born ugly, but the actions we make makes ourselves ugly. People can be ugly, and as a result of it, started a world of judgement in the first place.

And forget about the brainwashed maniacs And their opinions

You deserve to be safe, happy, respected, appreciated, and loved. The assholes out there that make you doubt this are weak and ugly inside and they don’t deserve to share space with you.

@@clashoclan3371 why do you ppl care so much when someone lives with there parents...whats wrong with that? As long as you are not a freeloader, helps in chores, contributes financially then I don't see something wrong with living with your parents.

what helped me combat social anxiety a lot is the realization that people are not going to focus on your messing up, because they all worry about themselves to begin with. And if you do mess up, it's going to be forgotten very quickly by others. Everyone is living their own lives, has their own stories, and this liberated me from the fear that people will judge me for anything I say or do. I still haven't fully recovered from social anxiety because it's still there like "hey, you just said this and that to your best friend now he hates you", though I hope even those thoughts of anxiety go as well.

@@clashoclan3371 what's wrong with living with their parents tho. I'm a Filipino and a lot of adults here still lives with their parents.

Nah, I mostly post in IG just to save those happy moments,,, and share it with ppl that I care. Wtv other ppl achievements don't bother me at all, I knew they sacrifice something to be in place that they are right now, so why bother?

@@likelyladsss that’s the way it should be, but in most cases all that shit is fake, the posts are not a reflection of the real lives these people are living. Some people are more impressionable than others and they take what they see on ig as the truth and nothing but the truth and they start feeling bad about themselves, unfortunately. I know plenty of people who flex on ig like they have it all figured out but in real life they’re train wrecks. Imagine if an app was created that requires you to post everything at any given moment? That would be interesting wouldn’t it ?

You're a good kind person and sometimes others will take advantage of that. When someone asks you to do something for them and you don't feel like it just say, "no". No. - is a complete sentence. You don't even need to explain. And if they're a true friend they will understand. If they are a user and/or toxic they will get angry. It's a good test. I had to learn this as I was also a "people pleaser".

I feel you bro That's y many people around me keep advantage of me in including my friend that in the end is fake frient

Same man same, I let go of all my friends that didnt even wrote my a text or gave my a call in the last 3 months. It's hard to stop giving a damn when you love people and you want to be loved but I guess it's a part of life each and everyone has to learn that

I don't know if this helps or not, but personally I've been trying to see myself through other people's eyes more. Like I try to listen to little compliments I get, and I try to remember that my friends don't see me as the mess that I see myself as. They see me as just as amazing of a person as I think they are. I'm also trying not to overthink as much, or insult myself in my thoughts as much. And I've been constantly reminding myself that I'm a person, just like everyone else. I'm flawed but so is everyone else. You might have flaws, but hey, so do I! That doesn't make either of us awful people. I think people like us just have to focus a little more on our good traits and hope that someday we'll like ourselves more.

In short, know when to do things at the right time. If life were to be only about choosing based on an advice, we wouldn't have problems after making the same mistake multiple times.

Genuine question: what if you've never had any childhood passions/dreams/aspirations in the first place? Because I sure as heck didn't.

@@Dxpress_ I have similar problem. What if you just realised that your dream in life is just to beloved. You feel all goals are already fulfilled and feeling content everyday but other people expected more from you.

@@Dxpress_ It’s good to have some kind of ambition, go out and do something that even slightly interests you. Whatever it is, as long as it isn’t selling drugs or some shit, take the inch and run a mile.

​@@thebush6379 But people need to be taught this at a young age because it could help prevent trauma later on because trust me my parents acted like trauma didnt even exist. So when i got hit by constant abuse by the people around me... it hit me HARD ​ @Dxpress You definitely had some they just might not be big things. If you didn't have any childhood dreams you were likely very happy as a child or knew your parents couldn't give you much. They might have been small at the moment things like wanting to go surfing or going to a carnival or watch a certain movie and just because they aren't careers doesn't mean you have to be sad about that. Society tricks you into wanting careers (because they just want brainwashed workers). The point being you might be free spirited like a horse you know to cherish moments at that second rather then make a life's goal to achieve something. (Nothing wrong with that either.. having a career is better for your future but at the same time. You can die tomarrow and not realize it and then that's that.) They're is no wrong way to play Life, and people tend to forget that. Derphan is right though about one thing its good to have some ambition. Ambition is a wonderful emotion to have... the first time i felt Ambition was when i went Boxing. I usually am not the competitive type, i follow my flow. But this one dude who i was good friends always made me want to be better then him. We were friends but it was like a Rivalry at the same time. It's an Addicting emotion to have but it makes you never want to give up. If you don't have one... try to find your hobbies. Trust me... its an emotion you wont want to get rid of.

@@ramdustincarandang7798 sounds like you are

kzfaq.infoNQ3R6Yd3H-o?feature=share

@@ramdustincarandang7798 you sound like a bad guy

The main idea is stop caring about things that negatively affects you, like what people think of you, seeking validation, or always expecting the worst instead of believing in yourself. You shouldn't care about those things and care more on what actually matters like your personal growth, family, friends, hobby, things that makes you happy and who you are etc.

You shouldnt ignore every problem. That would lead to a even bigger problem haha

Story of my life , it's important to care just enough so you don't destroy yourself !

Who? cares

i thought people who don't care about themselves always just care about others happiness ......

There is absolutely a balance when it comes to our cares. In the wrong context, "not caring" could lead to worse states of being. What I've learned, at least for myself, is that I need to categorize my cares into 2 "baskets". One basket is "I need to care", the other is "It's not my business". Obviously, if not caring about a particular thing leads to further decay in mind, body or spirit, then you need to change that. Sometimes you can dissect different aspects of one issue and categorize your cares. For example: We shouldn't care what other people think to the point of it controlling our lives, but we should care to the point to where we set a good example and are being fully understood in our expressions. That way, we don't care what they think about the things that make us intrinsically who we are, but we do care that we are effectively being seen for who we actually are. Truly, "you" are not a slob who just devours potato chips. That's a learned behavior and habitual program. Who you are is deep at the core of your being, but life has attached labels and filters to you which have become a sort of "natural" response or way of handling things. Who you are is so much more magnificent than all of that. So you should care to show up as your true self, but not care what others think about your value as you navigate that journey. Disciplining ourselves and evolving is for the sake of our higher calling, not for the approval of others in a small moment. I apologize for the rant though lol. I just felt inspired to share this with you. Have a blessed day friend 🙏

It's about not caring what other people think about you, but you should still care about what you think about yourself. If you aren't happy with yourself then you should improve on that, but don't change yourself for someone else.

just have balance bruh lol

Same here 🤣🤣🤣

You are so right, I’ve been a people pleaser while using my own version of this mindset. I began to hate myself due to my inability to care and and thought I became a people pleaser which made me feel narcissistic. I still have so many regrets but someone helped me without knowing it because I was going through hard times and now I know why I’m so bitter, it’s because I’ve been depressed my whole life from caring about others thoughts

It's folks telling me my art is too weird that's annoying. Or because I draw cartoons, that somehow makes me less of an artist. It makes me upset, but I need to stop caring about folks opinion of my work. Like, I drew my profile pic. It's a mushroom man. I love drawing plant and mushroom people. I understand drawing different subject matters, but I love drawing cartoons and drawing surreal things. I plan on becoming a t-shirt designer or a textile designer. I'm clearly a cartoonist, but most people ask me for realistic portraits. It's really annoying, it's like going to a butcher shop and asking for doughnuts. I'm not trying to start an argument, I just get upset when people think artists should draw "this" and not "that". I've seen a ton of artists similar to me that make a living from they're work. It took them a while to gain a following, but it's possible. (^u^)

@@aiyannaboykins7888 I think your profile pic looks cool. Tbh its very difficult when people have all these expectations and don't allow you to freely express yourself. Art is what makes YOU happy especially when you just get to make whatever you want. Definitely keep your head up and ignore what those people think. You're doing it for you and that's what matters. I hope you're able to achieve your dreams. :)

As an artist myself, I commend for sharing this! I’m a poet mostly, but I also sing/dance/along with photography! I’m agree with you, the annoyance is real (the expectations of others and their overall ignorance in this regard). I think this is why I don’t really spend a lot of time with fellow artists because either they feel threatened by “your” talent despite how talented they might be or as is common within the art community, people projecting what they think of themselves onto you. That’s why I always say “if I don’t connect with you as a person then any collaborations as an artist are out of the question.” I’m mostly solitary anyway, so I just do like the “romantics” I’ love and the “transcendentalists,” and hone my own skill and pathway! Keep doing your thing! From the tone of your message here, you sound VERY passionate about your endeavor(s) and again, “commendable.” Best wishes in everything! Artist to artist! Human to human! 🙏🙏🙏

yes!!

I talk with people about emotions, but only from a practical and analytical way which makes it far more interesting. Pattern recognizing and thinking critically based on the reality that our brains are evolved organs and what makes us human is that we've become aware of this and our awareness alone gives us power to change our own biology through will power and time. We put all our skill points into adaptability, so decide what you wanna be and be that. Just don't give up.

Thank you for watching
