Takes you back to that non-religious confessional, huh?

Same bro

Same. I also how it validates what we're feeling and never seems to be talking down to us or invalidating our experience.

Ann Sm That sentence is so true that it makes we wanna puke.

Not being able to cair enough to change it IS DEPRESSION . Someday I'll find myself

Depression is one hell of a beast. After 20 years with it you'll think "ok, I am so much better now, I have gained enough experience, I know her every move. I'll get out of here without even putting effort" and then realize that you're still very low, at least 1 step lower than everyone else, and you didn't know her well at all.

Zuzia_Krysia_Łucja its usually the foundation of major depressive disorder to have a poor self image, apathy about life, and not care if you live or die because you feel empty.

@@flyingfoxes2630 I don't think defining depression formally is helpful. It's not this one specofic thing, and I do think you can be less or more depressed.

Good news is last week they announced that there will be a season 3

Drakilicious, just because other people have it worse than other people, doesn’t mean said people are whiny or not allowed to be upset about where they are in life, as it does sound a bit unreasonable Life *is* a bitch, but being a bitch to other people? Ah, not my cup of tea. I hope you find what you’re looking for in life soon, or at the very least someday. Don’t give up hope

Hakajin, that’s wonderful :) I’m glad that you’re in a better place

Aw, thanks, guys! Drakilicious That's terrible; I'm sorry it happened to you. If I were you, I'd be dealing with a lot of anger and PTSD. I don't think I'd know what to do with myself. I think you must be a very strong person, live with that every day. Of course we have to make the best of what we've got, but I don't think that means we're wrong if we hurt over it sometimes. It's the same for you. You know... what tends to help me is to try to make something good come out of whatever happened, because then it wasn't meaningless. I wonder if there's anyway you could get involved in activism, or... just spreading the word about what happened to you. Maybe that's not right for you, but... That's just what works for me. Watched one of your vids, seems like you're in school now? So at least you're working toward something! In any case, I hope you're able to find something in your life that gives you some semblance of joy, or at least peace.

@Drakilicious thanks dude. Your right. No one is allowed to be sad or express their hardships unless what they went through was equal to or worse then what you described. Thanks for taking gatekeeping to a whole new level. Just what the world needed. Maybe they should make a People Watching episode just about you and in the end they could let everyone know you are the new standard.

By being there before, too.

I have actually cried at the last 2 episodes.

it's part of the reason why i like this series a lot. it is able to target our fears and emotions because these characters really are whom we perceive ourselves to be. we can literally replace any one character with ourselves and the story would still proceed as it did.

It makes you feel good to see just how common the common experience is right?

Aspiring i have cried at the last 4 episodes but yeah this series is intensense (im not trying to compete im saying i relate)

So am i; I want to do this now.

I'm actually turning 20 this month... I already dropped out of college because my scholarships fell through and I didn't want to take out loans (at least until I knew what I actually wanted to do). But, yea, I feel pretty fucked lol

Thank you so much I mean that sincerely.

I'll be 28 in march, and so far my 20s have been and still are ... a journey LOL :) I've dropped out of 2 colleges 1st one was my mother's choise and I am not the type to become a dentist 2nd one did not provide the level of education I wanted to get (we are talking robotics classes without a single robot and textbooks written in the 80s) and going there was a mistake to some degree(my favorite mistake, since I've made it all by myself( for the first time in my life)) Right now I am working as a freelance programmer(no thanks to colledge №2 btw, I taught myself) and preparing myself to attempt colledge yet again(I still want more knowledge to build cool robots and maybe even some gadgets and stuff, for now I have my programming knowledge to pay my bills and my small workshop to make at least some of my engineering ideas happen) I am still a bit burdened( not depressed since recently :) ) about my income being nowhere near my father's when he was my age Don't get me started on his later acomplishments, that man is metal, if only it didn't take me 10 years after school to force to teach me at leas some of his business skills, but recently it became a fun fact for me LOL)) I have a feeling that there IS something there for me, that all dedication and hard work will pay off, who knows maybe I am not a failure

​@Tamara Orozco " don”t know how to apply for a job/resume.im " Don't worry it is not as hard as it looks like, I've managed to do it without a degree , ok for some jobs degree is a must, but you've got that covered, so the only few things you need to get done are : 1. get as much info on how to properly apply to a job in your field and ge interview right in order to maximize chances of success( took me a month to complete this before I got my first job, we are talking hours of googling and asking people for advice) 2. get as much info as you can on creating a good resume 3. if needed/possible for your profession work on your portfolio ok there are a lot(and I mean a lot!) of details for all of theese things, but going over all of them can take hours(getting a job is a skill too ) LOL

@@vladimirradovanovich8269 keep going. As long as you keep moving forward to achieve your goals you will be okay. Sometimes I also find it hard not to compare myself to my parents when they were my age, but I have to remember I am different. Doing that will only make me sad. I am a late bloomer in many areas so many are ahead of me😔 For that reason I stay away from social media and focus on myself.

How goes it

@biopenta his brother was the one who took over his videos

WAIT... wait... w.a.i.t... really, I can't ignore that.

Not so much dead, but good as dead. What people are actually expressing is that they don't feel welcomed by society. But to speak sarcastically, what can you expect from a bunch of millenials or whoever the new kids are?

sirdeadlock Precisely, the society we grow up in first sees us as the potential that is needed to keep the world spinning, but then at some point, they feel like they wasted all their hope and energy on this potential and we're no better than the shit used to fertilize farm soil. but it's precisely during this progression between 20 and 30 that i think we truly find our own self-worth and are able to become someone whom we can be proud of. in the case of martin, however, he represents the group of people who seem like they couldn't get to that conclusion and either relapse into something worse than they were before or (as implicated in s2e2) commit suicide and i think that this video is more for those people who just feel really stuck and can't see anything in the pitch black depths they are in currently.

No. People in their 20s are still supposed to feel invincible, like they'll never get old or die. There's a reason that the cut off age for enlistment in the military is 29. My guess is that thinking about death is more common for Millennials, because most of that generation was raised in ways that ensures that they will be mentally ill adults.

Ah, for me it is, and for my friends. Like I just? “Accepted” the “fact” that I was going to die before 30, but I think the depression that made me think that, and when I came to that conclusion that was in a time I denied that I had depression too. And it *does* seem like mental illnesses are more common in millennials and the z generation, or at the very least these are the generations that are the most educated about mental illnesses to the point that they are able to identify it within themselves and whether they have one or not

Patty, it isn't normal if normal is sanity. Millennials were intentionally raised to be mentally ill. This is not psychologically healthy. You're not supposed to raise kids to believe that they're perfect and don't need to spend their lives trying to better themselves and build character, skills, abilities, etc. and to contribute to things bigger than themselves. The feeling about dying before 30 is likely related to the fact that most Millennials think that they will have to be an adult at 30, and they weren't raised to be adults.

I came back to this video because of that line in this episode. It’s how I feel right now and it hurts. But I love that the ultimate takeaway from this video is that things do change. Everything is temporary. All hurt is temporary and things will be better

Don't worry. You'll continue to be lost, but get used to it. It's hard not to be lost when you're treading your own path.

Calm down

Luckily, you’re Thicc and White Mediocre Attractiveness. So things will eventually work out

I never cry - the last three episodes made me tear up - but this episode made tears come from places I didn't even know I had... I am 51 - so don't think that this episode will only mean something to you in your twenties and thirties - it is too genius to be limited like that - I can almost bet that the older you are when you are introduced to this - the harder it hits - I don't remember the fears that I had in my 20's - not really my 30's either - my 40's had some bleak times but that big 50 brought some unbelievable blessings to my life that I cannot explain - it was like a weight was lifted from my life - I still have fears, and doubts and worries but I don't let them take the same control they used to - I don't give as much of a fuck what people think about me - but at the same time I am not a pretentious prick about it - I just take their whatever they have to say, nod and move past it without an argument realizing that they have no clue - it's like I am better at dealing with shit simply because I have dealt with shit so many times - and well... I am still here ya know? We all fear getting old - let this 50 year old tell you - come back and watch this video again when you hit 50, then 60... 70... 80.... I bet it rocks you every time in a different way... fucking genius...I mean probably the most ingenious thing I have ever personally experienced in my life - thank you for this series - it's killing me but I love it

You're doin good! :')

wonder how you are doing now?

Hey Mikey, you good bro? How ya doin'? Mind to leave some reply? :) Did you ate well? Get enough sleep? How's life? I really hope you're doin good.

I wanted to come check in too since it had been a long time since this comment was posted. Im glad somebody already did :) I hope you're both doing okay

I really don't know if i'm going to survive this month. Everyday I hate myself along with hating my friends. I know I'm only 17 but the fucking one thing I love about myself is the fact I'm going to help others through my death. They can't pretend to be intrested in me if I'm not here. Maybe it's that Iook on the bright side. I don't want to hurt myself but I do want to stop being a pain to others.

@@caxolog Hey, I hope you're ok. I've been seeing your comments all over this comment section. I know it's hard, but pls get help.

Wherever you are, I hope you're better now, than you were then. And if u're not, the first step is always the hardest, but it gets easier with time. Sending all the best

Just checking and wishing you the best. I know that we are strangers, but keep in mind that you and your life matter. Hope you can get help and that one day you can comment on this video how you managed to grow out of the situation the same way other characters like flossy or safra did.

Ryan Lucio , Daria mtv

Aiden Sherman I think so. It really broke my heart-the episode when they introduce the brother already wrecked me. This compounded on that.

That's my thinking, too. And I love how WR is integrating him into the rest of the series, not just leaving him as a memory for Jackson.

Didn't he say he'd be dead in 10 year when he started? Probably an illness...

Hopefully. One less hipster.

Maybe it's supposed to show you can only experience it gets better if you stick around long enough?

Me too from the first word he said until his last

Maybe get some help! Hugs

Same here......

Same... i even wonder if he got transported to different world or some alien took him, but highly unlikely lol

I can't kill myself, everytime I think about it the fear of everyone having to deal with that. Then I go out and everything I do causes someone else pain or annoyance. Then I realize that no one cares about me so what's the point n living?... I'm 17 (recently) and now I am too scared too fucking die and even more scared to express me.

This could be a legitimate website? If it doesn't exist i hope someone could make this.

@@larctinmartsoyad3167 Somebody could create a youtube channel where they do this, people can email your video to the channel owner, they will upload it on one so all these videos are together on one channel, and mail you 365 days later to make another one. Could also put all videos from one person in a playlist so people can watch how someones year was back to back.

This show is truly a gift.

People are hating on this channel for reasons not related to this show. Cracked is just fulfilling their contract and getting this show out as fast as possible, and then it's back to radio silence because the new owners gutted the video department, fired every single writer and actor that everyone loved, and stopped producing videos altogether. People Watching is written and produced by other people who had a 2 season contract before all that happened, and thus is only tangentially related to Cracked at all, and has nothing to do with the hate.

26 is not almost 30. Think of how long ago it was since you were 22.

That's not almost 30! That's the attitude I had and I wasted 3 years. Every year counts.

@@qwerty-zz8er wow I really did not expect to be reminded of this video, thank you for asking! I am almost 23 now and I commented that when I was 19when I was going through abit of depression for not “reaching my expectations”. I’ve had to move to a different continent which opened up a lot of opportunities, though that itself was overwhelming, Though this video helped me steer my energy and emotions away from comparing myself to my classmates, I took a whole year to adjust (I’m responsible for my siblings as my dad is a single dad, so I had to figure that out) and find out what I’m meant to do trying to get into uni with limited grades. Also the fact I had no clue what my “dream job” was and needed to actually think about what I want to do on this world. (I decided I wanted to help kids and do psychology) While I was waiting on uni stuff I got a part-time job that helped me sharpen my general work skills (customer service and getting insight on business procedure), it’s not the best job and doing too many work days drains me, (basically a fast food job) but I’ve made friends with my coworkers and post-covid everyone is just chill vibes. Covid happened and I put education on hold for the first year, signed up for a college course that would’ve completed my qualifications for Uni, but I stopped attending midway through as I was overwhelmed and went back to my dark place, My dad and friends helped me push through and tried enrolling into Uni anyway, and got accepted! Though I’m doing foundation that is completely fine! I’m getting my career started! Midway through my first term I ask my uni to help me get a diagnosis for my ADHD as I was suspecting that for a long time, I’m currently in the process of getting some help with my time management, I’m grateful I did as I felt frustrated and disappointed in myself for being “Lazy” and missing deadlines, Honestly it’s so coincidental that u replied this cuz yesterday I was really thinking how “every experience I’ve been through has lead me to this moment and this uni and in 4 years time u are going to be done and have a degree” really having that reflection😅 Life has got ups and downs and a key thing that I took away is I need to put myself out there, nothing is going to happen if I stay in my room and in my circle of people, it’s really hard to ask for help and scary to put yourself out there, but try small things first like an online course or committing to something small to become the person you want to be, like 10 min of meditation or running. What’s important that it’s consistent no matter how small it is. (Though I’ve been trying to do workouts consistently 😅I’m trying not to get down about that Instead thinking about how I go walk to the bus everyday for work and uni counts) Prayer and constant reflection is what’s helping me move forward, everyone has their own paths and we don’t need to look at anyone else but ourselves really. Thank you razzle I hope u take something positive away from this, chin up it gets better.

​@@francisbonnafoy307 Sounds like the you in the past who left the original comment would be really proud of the person you turned out to be! And rightly so! From feeling lost to now having experience from this part time job, building up a network with those co-workers to getting accepted onto a uni course and taking action to look into ADHD! Sounds like you've really taken ownership of your life and I hope your uni time is amazing, you deserve it! As someone who went to uni 2 years later than most (at 20) I feel your confusion about taking a different route to your peers, I'm glad that you learned to not compare yourself to your classmates! Like the video said, there's 7 billion different levels of the same game being played, nobody has it the same way! It sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders and that you'll go far!

It’s canon he did commit suicide

My heart broke at the thought of it. I remember the episode "Hanging out with my Brother" and seeing his brother at the start then him coming in to finish it years later in the same unchanged room rocked me, because he started out saying "I'll be dead in 10 years and no one will ever want to watch videos of me". it crazy just thinking about it.

She got unbelievably lucky. It happens, but it mostly doesn't.

sirdeadlock or she worked her ass off. Don’t just brush off hard work for “luck”

It’s only distributed by Cracked, it’s made by completely different artists and people. I recommend going to their twitter and seeing how you can help the creators of this show directly without Cracked being a wall between you and them.

Shut up

I’m in my 30s now but an advise while in your twenties. Have fun and learn the experiences you will get. As years passes, life will get better even with the ups and down. Once you reach the 30s you will look back be be like. Danm times flies and now I’m much more mature and can tackle life battles with much ease (due to the experiences and mistakes made in the 20s).

ditto

Sydnee Blueford i think its the tall guy in the red flannel's brother from the previous episode

Yeah in a previous episode the focus was on the brother and how his death affected him but don't tell you how he died. Now we know.

Like what this other people said it’s the guy in the reds brother who apparently died between his 27-30 years. However judging by his last post I think he killed himself because he seemed to be very depressed, and wouldn’t be surprised if he did it shortly after uploading his last video.

Hey buddy, hang on there will ya? Eat well & get enough sleep ok? :') you've made this far. Really proud of you. You're doing good!

Luis Arturo Hernández Ramírez Have you seen season 1?

So I just got to this part of the video, and I'm sorry. I don't know that anything I can say will make a difference, but I personally take some solace in remembering that nobody really has things "figured out." We're all just kind of making it up as we go along, and that doesn't always work out, even for people around you that you think have their lives 100% together, other people tend to be weak in areas you're strong in

She was actually depressed she was just in denial

Well fuck. I wish I could help through KZfaq comments, but I don't have enough life experience to suggest any meaningful solutions to you. Have you tried seeing a therapist. Some of them are shitty, yeah. But you might find one that's actually helpful.

A LIVING BREATHING DRUG PSA Sometimes I feel like nothing will get better too. I can’t assure you that it will be alright in the end, but there is always a tiny chance. Sometimes I read Kurt Vonnegut and felt like I have been understood. In that brief moment of reading I feel relieved, released from the mental pain. What kind of art do you like? And do they make you feel relieved for a moment?

I actually got back from the psych ward recently. All I know is it's selfish to commit suicide so I'll just wait until I can finally die.

90% of people can't afford college. We go into debt for it. It's not worth it just to "get a better job" but it's worth it to learn about the things you love and meet cool people who are doing the same. IDK what conditions you have but when I got DXed with Crohn's I thought there was no point planning a future. But I'm still here. Antidepressants helped. Family helped. My cats. My hobbies. Orgasms. Not being so hard on myself. I hope things get easier for you, ma'am!
