love this quote: ''You can't embaress someone who is self confident''

I love how as you get into the tenseness of the microphone being passed to you, you pair that with gameplay of you going down into the cave. However, after you explain the "embarrasing" moment, you pair your realization with you coming back out of the cave. Really nice subtle storytelling there. Outstanding content btw.

Just so you know, you saved my life. I was lonely and had 0 friends. I felt completely alone and was considering ending it all. However, when I came across this video, I began to improve myself and started talking to other people. I also started working out at the gym and taking risks. Now I have 5 close friends whom I can trust, and a wonderful girlfriend. Thank you so much for changing my life.

Love how there's no bullshit anywhere. No obnoxious intro or outro, just a simple story. Nice!

This type of content could be revolutionary in the Minecraft community. Keep going. I believe in you.

Stumbled across this video at 10pm on a friday night expecting something wildly different, this is amazing

Wow, ive never really seen a Video that motivating, ofc ive seen videos trying to tell me what self esteem means. But not one video conveyed this message as well as this video. I hope this video finds its way to as many young people as possible❤️🔥

This mindset has helped me so much. In late middle school I realized that I remembered the embarrassing things I’d done through my life, and how someone that saw me do that might see me and think how silly I looked. Then I thought of all the people I’d seen do embarrassing things, and what I’d think of them if I saw them. And hardly anyone came to mind, and those who did were usually my friends, and those who weren’t I didn’t think anything poorly of them. So what would someone think of me if I were to stumble over my words during my presentation? And this made things so much easier. I became so loose in front of crowds. Stage fright is still a thing, definitely. A phobia is an irrational fear, you can’t get rid of that with a mindset. But there are some things that can be solved with a mindset. This outlook of “they won’t remember, only I will” doesn’t just apply to the stage in front of a crowd, it applies to a stranger on the street, a customer in your store, a coworker in the break room, a family member at the reunion. Conversation comes so easy when you can say anything and not be worried about being judged the rest of your life, and you get to practice and become better at conversation, too. It’s a skill, and I still learn every day. Now I’m in my third year of community college, my class knows my name and who I am, that I’m not afraid to blurt an answer or give a little speech, and the people in my life appreciate me in general. People don’t care about something you don’t care about, so when you stop caring about the conversation, and start caring about the people, they’ll do the same for you.

Love the channel one of the few who consistently makes me stop what I'm doing to watch.

This is actually a great concept you did right there: chill gameplay, while telling a story because watching someone play eventually gets repetitive or boring, but right now this is perfect. I like it a lot and expect it to continue!

Thanks for this bro, really encouraging for some of us who are very self conscious about looks/outside appearance, so knowing that difficult or anxious moments make you feel better in the end is great

bruh I feel that I did have my share of embarrassing moments...or so I thought because compared to this one mine moments are nothing it really feels bad when you think about these moments and then you start feeling it in your nerves like you stretch your hand everytime you think about one and so on but it really hits you when you realize that nobody even cares nobody even remembers these moments except you thinking about them even after years and now I feel that I'm little bit more sociable with poeple and a little bit more confident about myself like if I was your place of course I wouldn't sing but I would've been honest and just handed the mic but you were brave enough to take the rest and forge on without caring about the results thanks for the vidoe dude, definitely helps :)

these vids are so chill! i expected the audience for this niche to be really small but i've been pleasantly surprised

I really needed this positive wholesome vibe, it’s a reminder that true happiness is and can be all along inside of you😌

At midnight tonight, this is pretty much exactly what I've been needing to hear for a while. Thanks for putting this out with a story that can be related to, I hope to catch more from you. Thanks a ton, dude.

Just found this channel, and I'm truly blown away how good this content is. It is like therapy. Thank you.

I needed this dude. I'm always just so anxious about what other people think about me, and while this doesn't make that feeling go away completely, it does make me feel a bit better

Your content, what you're doing is super uplifting, inspiring and you should know it.

So glad u went for it man those sort of situations are what build confidence depending on how u handle it and u did it in the best way, ik that works cause i used to have horrible anxiety and now that im better i have things like last week i did something like the song on stage at my school but I volunteered 😅

Thank you for this, the soft background music, the genuine message, I just needed this today. Keep it up :)

Loved the chill-style video and the effort you put into it!

As someone who struggles with social anxiety its really nice to just be reminded of how much people actually care about the things you do, sometimes i get stuck in bad ruts but this little reminder certainly helped a ton,.ive also seen many other videos of yours and found them incredibly insightful keep it up with this absolutely outstanding content!

Just came across this channel, and this hit deep man, and the nostalgia of the game, hitting me in my feels. I hope you win the battles you don't tell to others :)

Wow! Didn't expect this to be so real and relatable! But this is genuinely good advice, and the fact that this showed up in my recommendations and how it sounds like I really needed to hear it. I've let so many minor moments that felt like the world was going to end, ruin me like crazy, even small moments when I'm like "did I embarrass myself?". Thank you!

This was an amazing video. I don’t see many KZfaqrs who are as honest as you were to this degree, although there are always a few, and it was nice to just listen to you speak about a funny and wholesome story. I think the message was super important, and despite it being as simple as it sounds, it is still something a lot of people don’t fully take in when they hear it regularly. Thank you for this, keep up the good content :))

Listening to this video has really helped with my self-confidence, thank you so much. Your content always inspires me to be a better person :)

bro this is one of the most inspiring videos ive ever seen.

love how relaxing your story was, i dont know why, but the minecraft in the background gave it telling stories around a campfire vibes

i cant explain how much i enjoy these videos, your videos make me happier and the vibe is so wholesome, this slow-paced vibe is the best way to end my day

Something similar to this happened to me in high school too, and seeing how quickly everyone just forgot about it and moved on was so uplifting and did wonders for my confidence. It taught me that being who I want to be and owning my strangeness is way more important than trying to conform to everyone else, because at the end of the day people aren't gonna remember me anyway. Might as well stay true to myself. Awesome video!

The dreamy minecraft footage and the minecraft music is just so calming, nostalgic and straight up perfect. Amazing video

You’ve just appeared in my recommended and I just wanted to say I love the chill, comforting feel of your vids. You’re both motivating and comforting it’s crazy 😂

This guy makes up any therapist. Honestly, this is relaxing

This hits so close to home. I had a period in my life where I was always overthinking situations like this, and now a few years later both my siblings are experiencing the same thing. This helps cast a light on how stupid it is to think it's the end of the world if you experience something similar to what you experienced.

thans man, was feeling insecure sometimes. And this kinda helped and brought me a smile :) thanks again ^_^

i really love that story and the way you narrated it with the beautifully edited minecraft clips loved it 😊🩵

this is possibly one of the best things I could have watched at 12:53 in the morning while about to go to sleep

To be honest I didn't expect this video to make me cry... yet it did. I learned the same thing as you, but way later. Now I'm regretting that I didn't do things I thought were embarrassing but now I know: they aren't. Be yourself, no matter what others may think.

Very late to this video but I think I needed to hear this message. I had a lot of problems with isolating in highschool, and my parents sent me to a wilderness therapy program to help work on myself. And it was such an amazing experience. I learned so much, and left feeling so much more confident and sure of myself than when I got there. After that, it was always a dream of mine to work in wilderness therapy. A few years later while taking a break year in college, an opportunity presented itself and I jumped on it. And let's just say, it didn't go as I expected. First of all, this program was nowhere near the quality of my previous experiences, and it was targeted towards a different group of kids, kids that had done serious illegal things, not just shy depressed kids like I was. My costaff weren't very nice to me and I struggled to fit in. I worked there for about 5 months, which for a job as difficult as wilderness therapy, is a pretty long time. Eventually I had enough and left, in hindsight I wish I left the job sooner. Since then I've felt so demotivated. I quit the job in April, and I haven't worked since then. Been feeling really down on myself and haven't gone out or tried socializing much. Hoping to get my motivation back soon, and this video definitely helped :)

Hello sir, stumbled upon this video in my recommended and I really love this type of content, the life advice stuff. I really appreciate what you're doing.

I'm trying to do "embarrassing" things, they aren't actually embarrassing but just normal things I'm nervous to do due to my extreme social anxiety but in doing that I've started caring less and less about if people care or not because chances are they do not And I have never found myself caring about what other people did either

I'm not sure If I can even describe how much these videos mean to me, having somebody with similar feelings and stories that I can relate my experiences to means a lot to me. I'm extremely self- conscious pretty much everything especially my looks. Anyways, I had a similar experience to you in gym class, I'm too emotional to go into detail but it was traumatizing, causing mental issues I still inflict on myself today. I just wanted to put it out there and say that these videos you make give me hope and confidence to continue in my life, and I'm on a path of healing and am nearly a completely different person (in a good way). Having somebody to relate to means a lot to me, Thank You Update I guess for those who care (I Doubt there's many): My life has completely changed, I've met people and have become a great person from where I was before, I have a friend group now! after so long after my original one disbanded pretty much, I haven't been able to get over it until now and now I've moved on and met new friends. I've started to improve my health and am focusing on school much more, I couldn't be happier. I don't want to say that this video was the only reason that led me here because it wasn't, but It definitely spark something in me, To those who are going through a tough time or just want to improve themselves, It's never impossible, just take it one step at a time and eventually you'll look back amazed by how many steps you've made

your choice of mods was perfect man, and the way you basically combined two different types of videos in one is great.

This is actually really inspiring. I have severe stage fright and social anxiety and I always worry about other people around me but you really are right, when someone else does something embarrassing, I feel embarrassed for them, but I don’t judge them or laugh at them meanly because I understand. And if most people are the same way, I don’t have anything to worry about.

I liked your story, I feel like we’ve all had that moment where we were put on the spot when we really didn’t want to in front of (what felt like) the entire planet and all of humanity. I have had a few moments like that myself, one time I was in my English class in high school, and we were reading a book about the holocaust or whatever, I don’t really remember much of it. The teacher read a few chapters out loud to the whole class and at one point she stopped and asked if any of us wanted to. The same thing happened for about a week straight; she would ask someone to volunteer, and there would be dead silence for a solid minute. Afterward the teacher made us read it independently or she continued. It was one of those times again, and I couldn’t take it. I felt bad for the teacher wanting us to participate and, well, failing to do so, as well as the awkward atmosphere. I (reluctantly) decided to take initiative and read in front of everyone. At first I was so nervous, stuttering on half the words I came across. Over time however, I kind of got in the zone. I felt like I was some wise old man with a raspy voice telling a story to a young child in bed. Afterwards, people said I did an amazing job and that I should start a podcast or something. I’ve always been really nervous about how I sound to others, it’s that feeling you get when you hear yourself speak in a video. I always thought my voice was high pitched and annoying, that sort of voice you get right before you hit puberty and stuff. Now, I don’t really care as much for my voice. I’m the one who’s making fun of it, no one else is. That’s a big problem that, despite how perfect someone may be, everyone experiences; we’re all way too worried about ourselves and think about how others are thinking about us, when in reality, we’re all the exact same way! Think of a time when you’ve actually judged someone for something minor… That’s right, never! And even if you did how many times do you take that one small judgement and associate it with that person’s worth and status. Again, never. (unless you’re completely apathetic and a bully, in which case I hope you accidentally hit your funny bone. or bite your tongue.) Nobody’s ever worried about you because everyone’s too busy worrying about themselves. I would’ve used a different example, because I know I’ve done way more embarrassing things and in the worst situations (like in front of my crush… in front of her entire friend group), but nothing else is really coming to me. I liked your video a lot dude, it’s amazing how minecraft gameplay with shaders and an inspirational speech can make all the difference :)

I really needed this. Great video, flowstate. Just subscribed.

Ya know, watching this video on my final year of high school really give me a lot of confidence to do anything at school. First, I have volunteered to sing on stage for an event. (It went well) EVEN READING A STORY. It gave me the confidence to do things, that I couldn't do before. Thanks man, you changed my final year of high school into the best year that I have ever went through

Dude, usually it’s a meme to put in some stimulating gameplay along with some random talk but that Minecraft background video was so soothing and chill along with the story you told. Good stuff

I just like how genuine this feels, it doesn't feel as if it was for clout, he was just genuinely sharing his stories and helping people.

would've really appreciated this video coming a liiiiiiiiiiittle earlier in the school year -- really would've taken the oomph out of a couple of embarrassing moments, haha. thanks for another great video, always look forward to hearing what you have to say when it's a commentary! :)

Thank you for making this vid. It really helped me go through tough times. You deserve a lot more subscribers

This just goes straight to the heart, and I love it. Minecraft & its bgm playing in the background just adds a soothing factor to all of it.

I honestly resonated with your message in an emotional way, like damn. I'm so oddly insecure about small things about myself, like how my hair looks, etc, and I always think people are looking at me in school. My friends always tell me that I'm good, I look good, nothing to be insecure about. This video helps a lot, nobody really cares. Everyone is all fixated on themselves, not you, they may look at you once but they'll forget about you in seconds. This makes me believe it more though, that nobody truly cares, so thank you for putting me into this more positive mindset.

His videos are just so calming and relaxing to watch. Helps relieve stress.

Thank you I really needed this, I am going through something right now and this calmed me down a little bit.

As someone who had stopped going to school and helping myself in life due to anxiety and whatnot, this has helped a lot and has easied my mind a bit. Its nice to hear others storys and how they deal with things. I thank that this video has popped up for me.

This is something that a lot of people with anxiety, particularly social anxiety, need to hear

That was so beautiful, you've really changed the gears of my mind.

Goddamn, you've revoke one quite embarrassing moment from summer vacation 5 years ago. At that time I was quite shy during some events and because of this - missed opportunity to ask one girl out and probably cure my bashfulness. Jeez, I hate this moment but at least now I'm not so shy as I used to be, but there is still plenty of work. Thank you for reminding this to me, sometimes its hard to remember this

This really helps when there's just 3 days until my school year starts again, this helps boost my confidence, but I think I'm going to have to watch this multiple times throughout the year. xd

Those videos are really my favorites, and the concept is perfect too. Slow/calm gameplay, while telling us something a story or something you went through, this is really relaxing. Congrats on 30K subscribers btw, you deserve it 😄

You are literally the voice in my head, everything you've talked about in these type of videos so far have been, what I like to call them, shower thoughts. They're like my form of meditation when I'm doing something autonomous, just me talking to myself minus the talking part, and seeing them in this manner makes me happy.

Epic. Such a peculiar anecdote, wonderfully presented and explained, and the MC gameplay at the background with the tenue music is GOD. Thank you very much for the art

Something just happened to me that made me self conscious not to long ago and this helped me out a lot, thanks so much for the help!

I randomly got recommended this video, and it really sorta spoke to me to a personal level. The atmosphere that you create is just so nice and calm. Never knew that listening to a random guy would help out so much and be so reassuring in a way. Keep it up!

I love this, you nailed it, everybody is stuck in their own little world. You are just a side character in their story and you rarely if ever, take center stage in anybody's life that isn't a member of your own family.

love you bro, it really did help me out. I let it sink in and all the dots in my mind started to connect.

This is so true, I've been in a similar situation where you're asked to get on stage and introduce yourself. I always get up and do it because I know I have nothing to lose.

This channel really soothes me ngl, I love your whole style of gameplay and music and just personality. You may be one of the only creators I would happily watch for hours on a livestream while I work or something. I hope you grow big and can give a positive influence on thousands more people than you already have.

This is one of my fav pieces of life advice, love to see it being shared and I hope life treats you well

dude this video made me think of my own decisions in life and i gained some perspective abt myself. i love ur content with the philosophical nature and minecraft gameplay. its so relaxing and easy to focus. keep making videos like these pls! 😀

the annecdote really resonates with me and makes it easier to understand, great video!

Hey man, just wanna say thanks for posting these types of videos. Especially this one, as I am going into a theatre production in a week and I am currently sweating my head off as to embarrassing myself onstage. This really brought me down to earth, so thanks.

i'm glad i stumbled across this video because my mind somehow always tries to remind me of something stupid/embarrasing i have done in the past. this "nobody cares" attitude might be rlly helpful to feel more comfortable in our own bodies sometimes. tysm for this video!

really appreciate you sharing this. we need more content/people like this on this weird planet. after the first 15 seconds i could already tell that youre genuine, and that alone is already soothing enough. thank you!

A lesson I’ve learned some time ago but never really applied it… I’m glad to see a youtuber who makes content like this. It’s very heartwarming.

The shear fear I felt for you hearing the start of that story. I literally felt it in my body. It’s really…really hard for me to have a different mindset about fears, how people think about me. Your point is completely right, unfortunately I myself don’t think enough tools to work out my negative thoughts. Im just starting therapy, and your video made me realise that I want this mindset as my goal. I want to think in this way about life. I’d be much better off. Great video

the scenery and atmosphere in this video is lovely, thank you so much for this :] have an amazing year, you deserve it

Bro I’m saving this video. I’ve always suffered with anxiety when speaking with new people and I’ve been improving massively but sometimes I feel like I go back a little, probs in my own head. But idk this video has actually brought me to tears rn remembering that there’s nothing to worry about. Thanks you man. Just. Thank you

Im in the process of moving away for uni and packing away my life basically and the feeling of just leaving everything i know is overwhelming, but just listening to this made everything feel so much more doable. Thank you

Dear flowstate, I've got 2 reasons why I should say thank you to you: 1. Thanks to your modpack I'm able to enjoy my favorite childhood game once again and this is a big deal already since it really helps a lot when I sit down after a tiring day and just chill and play. 2. These short videos you make, I think they help me think positively and I really need that now. Also, I can't believe how you just appeared out of nowhere 2 months ago and now you have like 32 thousand subscribers. So just continue what you're doing, it's good.

I just found this channel today and have been watching a lot of your videos. Honestly keep it up. I'm 14 years old so I'm in high school (My school system is weird you spend 7 years in primary and 6 in high school) but honestly coming home and watching these videos after having a stressful few days is such a relaxing thing. You can literally talk about anything and I'll listen. So yeah keep making videos, after reading other comments I can tell other people feel the same.

I never seen a video of yours before you just randomly popped up and this video really helped me out so I just wanna say thank you

My friend once said "People don't care as much as you think they do", it's the simplest thing but it has stuck with me for years now. To this day when I feel super self conscious about something I think about what he said.

almost made me cry even tho I knew this and have told this to myself a lot, I still struggle a lot with social anxiety and this thought that nobody cares how I look, etc. has been in my head for a while. I'm really happy I'm not the only one that thinks that way, thank you for this short and simple masterpiece ♥

this is absolutely my comfort video. whenever i struggle i come back here and enjoy the advise because it helped me a lot. i don't know if you'll read the comment because the video is already a month old. thank you man

in that situation i would probably start making up lyrics like "let me go, let me go, please get me off this stage" etc. funny story and great video!!

This warmed my heart a bit. Thank You.

This is by far. The best story and message I've ever heard. Really hits me :)

This is one of the most important lessons I learned a few years ago. How one thinks other people view them really takes a toll on one's mind, so once I got past this problem and realized that things will move on without people really remembering about you, life began feeling so much more enjoyable and less stressful. Those embarrassing moments even eventually turn into stories you can tell and laugh at in the future :)

Bro this helps so much with my anxiety I really needed to hear that. Thank you.

Very nice story man, I enjoyed listening to it, I felt engaged and it really held my attention :)

I cannot thank you enough for this. For your whole channel, really. I looked and was expecting some clickbait-y stories that are meant to be wholesome but really just don’t feel right, and was… surprised. Thank you for not giving in to what youtube “expects” of you. It’s really refreshing. And thank you, THANK YOU for helping people through their lives with things like this. I’m in middle school and didn’t realize just how much I was giving in to “be embarrassed if you dont quite meet the norms of other people!!” Despite how much I told myself not to going in.

this landscape is breathtaking. i love these mods and this terrain. its like you are living in another world.

I'm going back into school again soon and this has genuinely helped boost my confidence so much. Thank you

You got a gift that not many people have bro. You can make people think deeply about life through a screen in less than 10 minutes. I just appreciate the way you effortlessly flow through the script paired with the calming gameplay. Keep it up you’re gonna blow up.

This is a huge help, I have serious problems with socializing and am not good at conversation (or atleast don't think I am) and it gets so bad that I may have social anxiety. Not sure but I have a bad habit of freezing up and barely talking when I get too involved in a social scenario. This is advice I wish to take with for the rest of my life and I bet a lot of people would also like to here this. You are an everyday hero.

This was very chill, thanks for sharing. Love the background minecraft gameplay!

i actually have a big presentation tomorrow and i'm so anxious that i can't sleep (it's 4 am) but watching this video actually made me relax a little and i'm going to sleep thank you really

Wow man. This video is the definition of relaxing while telling a story that has an actual message. Very nice and unique.
