Man said “Studying the inner workings of a roadman” 😂😭😂😭

Zero real life experience. Spent their whole lives in a few miles square radius talking to the same types of people. It’s funny how shy they are outside of their comfort zone Saying that, American thugs are usually way more confident in any situation

Imagine practicing socialising on nittys

Too much smoking bud definitely plays a part in their social anxiousness too. So many of them start smoking at a early age and it gets to your mind for real.

they spent many years isolated from society, being active at night, getting involved in violence, hanging around with small groups of friends to usually get snaked

Cause of paranoia, PTSD and drugs

crazy how gangs r supposed 2 b about brotherhood, trustin each other etc but barely any of them are sociable 😹

Crazy thing is that reformed "roadman" who become contributing members of society are usually the funniest and most reliable people you ca. Have

i I m a older G once upon a time I was like these kids a lost goon ! Anti social suffering from social anxiety , alienation from society etc It all starts from not going school , not going college ! Smoking bare weed and just being around goons the same people like u ! When your young anti social and not around different social circles , u act different That’s why most these road man don’t know how to act with girls they didn’t go school or college lol they just been around mandem and nittys their whole life Once I stopped smoking weed I started listening to Eric Thomas change my mindset , was hungry for change ! Went as far as learning how to speak English again as all I spoke was slang You have to want to change your whole identity !

It’s just the weed bro 😂 makes you comfortable saying nothing

I don't know what was wrong with me looking up to these guys

A lot of damage. Constantly checking surroundings. Being use to things going off in a few seconds.

roadmen dont care about the world lol nor human decency.

All that stardogg

I haven’t watched the video yet but I’ve noticed this as well

That convo with Fumes there, I think that's an example of getting too good at answering the question specifically. When you start getting too specific and treating closed questions as yes or no and open questions with as little info as possible, you get this. It prevents oversharing which is great for looking tough, and avoiding getting roasted or snitching on yourself. However when too many of your convos are like this, then you kinda forget how to be interact normally. Social skills like any other skill need practice or they get rusty.

You perfectly described me, I went to therapy as a kid because another psychiatrist told my family that they believed I had depression at 9 years old. I have a lot of ptsd from police or the opps, trust issues because a longtime friend I’ve known from the age of 7. So I never really spoke to people because I didn’t trust them, some buyers did socialise with me, I think they know what the roads do to a person’s mental health and are trying to help. When I smoke weed I’m more social but get more easily paranoid and still won’t tell people things, but I still speak to them I just won’t answer anything that is sensitive to me. When I don’t smoke for a day then I start really reflecting on my life, how horrible it was and how horrible it now is and in the future, but I don’t know anything other than the roads. I’ve tried a normal job but I earned next to nothing and was let go without warning, I’ve tried to get other jobs but none of them have ever called back. I’m thinking that this is it, this is how my life is going to be. I really want help but I’ve got no one to ask, I don’t want to go to a therapist because the one I had to go to was horrible and always jumping to assumptions/conclusions, after some time I was given a male therapist who was way better, I was even in the psychward because they wanted to run tests on me, but when I was in there I was a whole different person, a “normal” person I would say, because I actually got fed there and it wasn’t the same toxic environment I’m familiar with where I feel anxious and depressed because of how horrible it is, they still didn’t diagnose anything, now years have passed and it’s only gotten worse. I don’t see an escape from the road life, I wish I was a normal kid from a normal home.

Why do people still call it 'roadman' its so cringey bro like there's no1 on roads who will ever say 'arh yes I'm a roadman ' its what year 7's call it when there watching Johnny Carey videos

Straight facts sho, keep it up 💙💯💪

Bro said ask a nitty how their day was😂😂😂

really learnt a lot from this vid, thankyou my friend

I'm not a road man. I'm from Australia. 6 years ago, i was on the wrong path. I was kidnapped and beaten to an inch of my life. Had to watch mates in debt get flogged to an inch of their life also. We were just kids in a world of organised crime. We were addicts so we lost the loot many times. I went to jail and inside jail. I witnessed more extreme violence. 6 years into the future, I had to really rewire my mind. Ptsd is no joke. I live a normal life now, but I can't escape my nerves. If I hear a car, my brain says you're being kidnapped again

Bruh, Who would've thought that constantly fronting about your lifestyle being about murder, violence, robbery etc. would've led to being constantly anxious and being unable to trust people because that's what you surrond yourself with or you live in an area that's filled with that type of stuff

I fucking hate roadmen 😂 I used to want to be all that then I grew up I’m 24 and happy I can walk around with no problems and come home to my mum and my sister 👍

This question is actually taking the piss 😂

I been watching your new videos but haven’t been commented in a while but daaaamn you really do everything 😂😂 social anxiety yk. Frfr that is a big problem with these cûnts

Big up juicell

When i was on road, man were just sitting in the bando all silent and awkward. I couldn't stand it. Tried to make conversation but they just looked at me like i was weird. Also we were still kids, about 15-16, deling with so much trauma from poverty, from being raised by people who didnt care for us or even feed us. Thats why were out there shottong food. To eat. But i was lucky i grew up in the era i dod whete i didnt have any opps. It wqs just about making money, not creating a reputation through violence. Yeah there were violent rosd men of course but no one was blowing up from making diss tracks on the opps, that culture didnt really exist. Now these kids got constant anxiety the opps are coming for them.

On you go bro I was fucked in the head but I worked on that and can now live much better and not so angry/depressed. It takes a big man to admit he’s not perfect and grow some. It’s WELL worth it.

bro i love your videos. i've had similar thoughts about street dudes. iam polish and have never lived in the uk but the universality of this phenomenon baffles me a lot

“Sensitive thugs y’all all need hugs”

Ask the fiend how their day was that's too funny

Fire vid, im not from this background at all but just have a lot of love for everything. Thank you for speaking about this

Keep the videos coming! Honestly can’t beat watching your vids catching joke aha 😂

This is a really important video

This subject matter is so true. These roadman are fully detached to what, I believe is due to PTSD.

Man said his hypothesis 😂😂😂 You’re not wrong though. If you put them in a professional setting they would crumble with seconds

You're a good man

The internet remains undefeated. 😂 road man therapy 😂😢

i feel like it makes sense that throughout all cultures and types of people, the creatives (rappers, artists, and all of that) that are shown a lot in this video and come to mind as prime examples of "socially anxious roadmen", it makes sense that the people who are known for succeeding in and mastering an artform are more likely to be introverted people

Some of them quiet paranoid shy road guys seem to be the most dangerous it seems .silent outter dialect and loud inner dialect. Plus its frowned upon for road youths to show any sort of kindness or social friendliness so its avoided lol

As person from the United States I definitely notice how certain childhood friends or maybe even rappers act some do have characteristics similar to someone with mental illness but also what these goons or Road men you like to call most likely grew up with out access to resources to get help and some probably don’t or probably won’t know until its too late.

im from that life bro I cant open up Im scared people will take advantage of me its tough man. The depression is strong

Big up yourself btw bro... just clocked how much you've grown in a short space of time - cos I was watching your vids when you first started doing your ting and had less than 1k subs

Bro, you're a comedian, but you're stating facts, though 🤣

Useful video! It gavel me more understanding on people in UK in general why they're so introverted but not everyone is the same of course. I've been in UK for 11 years but I've spent some time in US too and the "roadmen" (street cats) or any other people in generally they are more talkative and chilled, they want to socialize more. And doesn't matter where you coming from if they see that you are cold or something mutual between y'all like the subculture, the way you speak or could be anything.. Then they want to be tight with you. That's just another perspective but I appreciate you for making this video bro it's dope! Subscribed ✊️ ✌️ Salute!

This is such a good video.

SPOT ON

Keep it up!

Good video. I haven't seen anyone touch on this subject 👍

I noticed they keep everything inside feel sorry for them more time they I’m a vicious cycle 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Think you hit the nail on the head by saying about PTSD. I'm not gonna claim to be a gangster or nothing but me and my friends went down the wrong path in our younger years - All doing drugs, some selling, getting into stupid situations, seeing people overdose and or get addicted to shit... Some people can deal with it but from my personal experience it really fucked with my mental state. It's been hard adjusting back to a normal lifestyle with some of the shit we been through cos our experiences are not normal and I mean not normal in the sense most people aren't going through it like that so you just find it hard to relate to regular people. I still have paranoia about police from stupid shit I got myself into, I'm talking sirens go off and my heart rate doubles and constantly looking over your shoulder if they nearby even though you know you did nothing wrong. I've since been to and done therapy for my anxiety and it has helped a lot though it isn't a overnight fix and a lot of this stuff I still struggle with on a daily basis but as you said in the video you gotta put yourself out there. And yeah NHS is utterly useless when it comes to mental health care. I been suffering with insomnia for 7 years which also has had a negative impact on my mental health. Seen doctors so many times over the years for Insomnia/anxiety/depression and they just simply don't seem to care it can be real disheartening. I ended up having to pay for a private therapist cos the NHS is an absolute joke be telling me I am too young to have these issues. Invest in your mental health lads it's worth it.

Bro the roadman counseling is whats needed for this generation. All the NHS can do for these man is just give them invasive medication and SSRIs. I think i can help you get this idea off the ground bro. How do i get ik contact with you? Bless

Doing God's work man!

Most people my age just come from broken homes. Growing up doing whatever they can to get by emotionally or physically for example: Lying to avoid consequences when your young builds that bad habit when ur older then they just be lying for no reason even after not being afraid of punishment. But with the anxiety thing I think It could be about ego . Don’t wanna be a laughing stock or not taken seriously, heard when you’ve spoken etc. icl im really interested in this topic too clicked on the vid cause it’s been on my mind recently

In Russia we say: u can get the man out of the road, but u can't get the road out of the man

Wo got Roadman counseling sessions before gta 6

I ain’t no road man but ima be real my social anxiety has held me back for so long I used alcohol/substances to help but it only made it worse now I’m Tryna do it the right way

Bro this is so funny

Anxiety is a big issue. I had a similar experience and I kinda relate to how these man feel but at the same time, it’s too prang to talk about it openly (for obvious reasons). The anxiety you get from being too into this kinda lifestyle is very strange. Your brain constantly feels, what I call, ‘up and out’ and it makes you feel very irritated, sarcastic and sometimes impulsive. It also makes going to shops difficult too because you will feel like looking for items you can’t find extra difficult and so you look visibly annoyed which can come across as suspicious and antisocial. It’s these little things I noticed that made me feel very uncomfortable and it honestly didn’t feel like a reflection of my own self. It just felt like I was coping in a tough situation. Going on holiday helped, is all I can really say. CBT is also good. Anxiety levels like this can make you feel dumb but it’s not that they’re dumb but rather the anxiety is making you feel constantly, excessively worried and tired and in a feeling of ‘drama’.

They’re trying to be cool, and if they talk too much you’ll see how lame they are.

They more social off camera and with they freinds, family etc. Its just a image to be like this on camera for these drill guys, so it dont show they true character. Everyone will open up and be themselves around people they comfortable around. After all.. this world and all industrys are a stage.

February coming imma get a mil

Alot of these ygs got the purest hearts just the wrong set up, so they flipped it deeper.

Im like this but no roadman just kinda odd ini i might have autism but definitely got ptsd

Too real - with weed or without

When I talk to brothas like this, I always feeling like I’m not even talking to a man. Just talking to an answering machine. Like they’re stuck on one level and that level is low. Shits weird

Maybe uncovering the face might be a good start.

I luved in UK for a long time. Full of shy boys who act gangsta

Hahaha geee I fucking wonder 😂

i had anxiety but now im mostly paranoid, actually i started working with anxiety and then it got better. What paranoia could be from what? i didnt had it before adult life

Yooo 😂😂😂

What did you write your dissertation om? "Roadmen and social anxiety"

Because they are little boys who never wanted to grow up i noticed this time a go as soon as you take them anywhere outside of the ends there like dear in the headlights this is why i hink there funny most of the time there not even king of there own bedroom cuz there mums still own that 😂😂😂😂

Some dissociative kind of thing I reckon. When you're representing you can't show any kind of weakness. Being that bad man thing 24/7 eats at you. I had a pal who was into the game. One time he came to my yard bleeding from a little juke. He'd just robbed some rival crew. A couple of days later he's complaining to me about having difficulty breathing. Tight chest and that. I could tell he was describing to me a panic attack. I've had them myself. I tactfully suggested what it might be, respectfully. But unfortunately he couldn't countenance it because, like I said; any sign of weakness...

The absolute state of this country 💀💀

Always stoned

I just love how you expose the ridiculousness of road man culture. 😅

It’s called being high

I'm kind same, i'm not a roadman, i'm not even form UK, but im super sociall anxious like i'm not scared but im much more aware of the situation around me then regular ppl. I went to high school in the worst part of the city and that school was more of juvenile hall then school. Second day of school some 19y old dude cut my arm with knife because i had long hair, shit like this happen on daily basis, plus area aroud the school was ghetto as fuck. I'm not form ghetto but i get this mindset of beling hyper aware all the time. Weed is super illegal in my country and one silly ass splif can get in jail, so it makes you paranoid all the time if you are out. I'm not a smoker but you know. Seeing all this shit form young age got me this dark vibe, regular ppl can feel this vibe and they often hate you for it, like they make you feel they don't want you in their surroundings. Many say is more of race thing but i don't thing so, on some level maybe but i'm white like pale white with blue eyes and my country is like 99.8% white and ppl still gives me this looks. This shit + Paranoia + PTSD + Depression make you completely alienated from society. Most of those kids/man don't have mental suport in their families, they only have homies with same issiues and those homies very offten are not homies at all. You are outcast living in your own word. You see fucked up shit, you become fucked up, wen you fucked up you do fucked up shit and someone sees that and become fucked up is very hard to brake this circle.

Real rap

What roadmans tryna have a full convo w a nitty broad day with a gpack on them

no dad behaviour

This is true! I turn 30 this year and I get exactly what you’re saying. I don’t do social scenes, parties, clubs etc. Being stuck in the same environment on edge every single day does something to you. I don’t live that lifestyle anymore but still struggle to socialise outside of talking about that life, even though it’s a lot of shit! Ps the end part where you tell them to humanise the addicts they sell to. That shit will fuck your conscious up and turn you to drugs realising why people are at the door for brown or white in the first place!

Bad sleep, cannabis, no purpose a perfekt mix of murder

I think might he that people who r socially anxious r just more likely 2 become roadmans to feel powerful and secure or like part of a group innit.

bro violatin karma

The streets ain't for the weak

violation, personally i wouldn't have it

Because the kid doesn't know much apart from what's around them outside. So they pretend to blend in. Even if it's a bad idea. And act a certain way others do. But they slowly grow and hear and see some shit and get paranoid. Because they wasn't being themself.

Brain fried off weed

Practice daygame on the nittys

The way society portray em

Truth is there eyes are so gone you cant get through to them they are just lost soul its how it is now

PTSD

Call them what they are drug dealers.
