Reminds me of my life :p I used to be lazy and I wasn't getting myself anywhere. But I read the book 'The Game' and from that, I learned that anyone can become better at anything, just by trying and not giving up. The book showed me that you have to challenge yourself to get yourself somewhere. Now, I'm doing a university masters, working one day per week as a chatbot specialist, setting up a student restaurant and trying to run my own UA-cam-channel. :) Keep on challenging yourself guys!
I'm both, is like a roller coaster lol I fight It and always get back Up, but not denying I feel stupid and sad with mistakes etc but also strong and happy for being a fighter and trying again for my dreams etc etc
Sad thing is we encourage the pessimistic thought process. We blame everyone for every little problem that occurs in their life and say if they don't take responsibility then nothing will ever change. Maybe that's why depression has been on the rise that and the way are legal and justice system has been working. At least in the US. I've been working with addicts and people who have rehabilitated people who have been homeless people who have and haven't had to deal with the legal system. People who are innocent and guilty but yet both end up extremely self-destructive and suicidal because how prolonged the punishment is before a trial even begins.
it takes about 20 minutes to change a flat by hand. If you need a tow truck or think a flat ruins your life, you should learn how to easily change a flat. If you don't keep a spare or a donut in your car, you probably need to do that. You don't need anybody to come change it for you. a little kid can change a tire.
Great analysis, thank you! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I am on breakup phase, day by day its getting worse, its been two months. I want to adopt new habits and want to be optimistic, but mood swings and change in emotional swing dont let me, Please pull me out..
Some say the glass is half full, some say the glass is half empty- my old teacher use to say he was a realist and that the glass of water is polluted. Lol
not at all- if you are persistant and stick with an approach that isnt working and keep being optimistic instead of realizing its not working and giving up to go on and try a different approach or abandoning that goal as not workable you KEEP from wasting years of your life !!! a very simple minded approach at best..
Unconstrained optimism is stupid and toxic. Might be why you have such a personal problem with pessimists. I would argue learned helplessness absolutely does not equal natural pessimism.
How dare you overgeneralization and put a judgmental and condescending shadow on those struggling. You have no idea what a person may have gone through and your tone is highly snobbish. You really need to check yourself. It's not always as simple and doable to just apply some tired old cliche "Don't give up." I'd wonder if you feel the same way if you ever had to endure half of what the underprivileged have had to endure.
When you achieve something, that state isn't optimism, optimism is before the achievement. Just like pessimism is before failure. Achieved in that moment would have three different reactions, self congratulatory, humble or self deprecating. Humble is a good middle ground between the two since luck plays some part in your achievements. I agree with O.S Bandit. Humble ≠ pessimism.
Man you both deserve great success. Practical psychology, I always respected you but today you just increased that respect level to a new height with this collab. I really feel good that you are trying to help people that are really willing to help themselves. All the best to both of you
Thats what i need i was going to talk a girl now but was so unsure about everything how im goiing to talk etc.. but no i dont give a fuck i think about how awesome im going to feel after i talked to her and she say yes =)
You said it wrong! It was a locked shocked dog, and a LOCKED no shock dog. And afterwards they both get no lock, because they were in fact, both locked. You said it completely wrong, and that paints a completely different, financial priveledge picture vs a controlled opposition picture! You MUST CORRECT THIS at the beginning of the video w/ the dog allegory! BOTH DOGS WERE LOCKED!
It's more accurate to say that the experiment with the dog is about learned helplessness. This makes the video confusing because the dog learned correctly that attempting to escape the cage will result in pain. The dog has no clue that the second cage could be different. The dog lacks the knowledge the experimenter has...
THANK YOU PRACTICAL PSYCH AND THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO COMMENT AND VIEW THE VIDEO. I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK AND DEFIANTLY TAKING IT INTO CONSIDERATION. - HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS ON MY CHANNEL (:
If you choose to take credit for the good things in life, I believe you must take responsibility for the bad things as well. Constantly ignoring the patterns of bad things by putting them off as not "your fault" is the fastest way to invite more tragedy into your life. I do agree on the points of taking action and feeling inspired towards something bigger then yourself. I just encourage you to be prepared for the bad as it WILL come, and you CAN avoid it, ONLY through taking responsibility. (lots of things are out of our control in life, suffering is inevitable I'm not saying you must take responsibility for everything. Just as much as you can.)
1. I want to learn spanish so I can finish my A Level 2. I want to get myself out there and try to meet new people, maybe get a girlfriend on the way there 3. I want to be a more outgoing person, do more things with people I already know 4. I want to learn to be more optimistic 5. I want to stop overthinking and just go ahead and do something instead of thinking about all the negative outcomes
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! 🧐 I wanted to ask something unrelated: 🤔 I have a set of words 🤷♂️. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Not sure how to use them, would appreciate help. 🙏
If the dog been shocked be showed from another it will not get shocked, then it will escape. If a person is given tools to more positive, then they may be more. We are what our environment is as a child, until that child is given tools to change. Raising environment will syay with until we decide to accept positive tools from others. Change takes time. This video is making negative people sound bad for their up bringing. It's not a good example. I accept people whom don't want to change. It's their path.
This dog is realism not pessimism. If first dog try and try again, it not change when he was in first cage, and he don't have reason to think 2nd is different. But people too often think they are in same cage, but they are not. This is problem, most people think one try is enough, but not realized that is different case so they don't even try it.
what happens to the dog which did not receive shock for pulling a lever is put in the cage which gives shock when it pulls the lever. wont it stop trying ???? please answer
yhea if your too optimistic you won't stop doing somthing till you push your self way too far. its good to be optimistic just don't end up in hospital becase you refuse to acept you have body has limits
It's funny I felt the same way watching this video. I am a recovering pessimist and anything that is too optimistic immediately makes me feel suspicious. I am so mistrustful of hope that it feels illogical and stupid to believe for really good things.
I tried reaching out on UA-cam direct message and I've sent you an email a while back. Seems like it did not reach you. Under which email adress can I contact you?
Well well well, there's a third attitude about a flat tire. The combative and life-experience one (it's my creation). In front of this kind of problem, you start to think and understand how you can manage this problem and how you can use it to gain autonomy, resilience, power, skills. I would in this example use it to gain skills in mechanic and problem prevention (get another wheel in your truck, get tire repair vulcanizer, get to a mechanic as friend, etc), know how to improvise in the middle of the road and call a tow truck, assert myself in front of my boss who will ask me for reasons i'm late, etc. SO basically find all the positive i can get from this situation. If you do this with all your problems, you'll become much more resistant, autonomous and able to find solutions, even laugh at problems and eventually ignore them if you want/can. Some of the most combative will eventually go voluntarily for problems to get adrenaline and solve them.
Great video An congratulation to 1 million subscribers👍👍🎉 being positive makes ur day better, if we try being positive all day, our day becomes happier 😁
I've learned about proactive vs. reactive people. CMIIW, but I think that they are the same in this context. Proactive = Optimistic, and Reactive = Pessimist.
I could add to this...never think about the probability of random things occurring. That alone is the biggest roadblock to my optimism. If I got a flat tire, I would immediately think "Why me?! Theres a 1/15,000 chance of this happening, AND it happened right on the way to work, which makes it even more rare, AND it was raining today!" Pretty soon I have convinced myself that I am the most unlucky person in the world and that cosmic forces are out to ruin my life. And when you feel like the world is actively trying to make your life worse, it makes you want to avoid the world entirely.
1) I want to gain 6 kilos of muscles before christmas 2) I want to buy my first apparment when i finish my apprenticeship 3) I want to complete NF 4) I want to start my big company plans within the next 5 years And most of all... 5) I want to get rid of my social anxiety
Thanks! :D. I actually gained 4 kgs the first 3.5 weeks of starting working out, but i guess not all of it was muscle, maybe 60% muscle. So let me reprhase haha ''I want to gain 6 kilos before christmas'' :)
I don't even know where to start... Both the optimism and pessimism described in this video are toxic and dangerous. Ironically the optimism more so. Not taking responsibility for the effects of your actions. Imagine this attitude for a surgeon, safety inspector, politician... Optimism isn't the answer to everything. The pessimism described is more healthy and analytical. The only difference should be the expectation of being able to handle the problem. If you have temper issues it is very wise to prepare for a disgruntled supervisor. But you just need to think of what to say in advance. The world isn't a happy and fair place. So why should you expect everything will go that way?
Hey man, I'm sorry but you will be receiving a downvote from me here. (One of the) First video with 1mill+ subs and its a colab :/ Doesn't hold the quality I want. I don't mean to stress you out, but I want to back
I actually felt very let down after the video started off with this great achievement, he introduced the book as one of his favorites ... but I guess both those things combined aren't special enough to him to do the video himself?
Reminds me of my life :p I used to be lazy and I wasn't getting myself anywhere.

Keep on challenging yourself guys!
Amazing illustration, awesome collaboration! :)
Everyone have a great weekend.
Amazing information and storytelling, well done!
depression is an illness and not at all the same as being pessimistic
Good Job Buddy,
I was suscribed to you ever since you first began UA-cam. Good Job and keep up the great work. God Bless you Theodore.

Hey man love your vids. im almost finished with ''the 48 laws of power''. do you have any recommendations for a next book i can read?
This is the BEST!

who da fuck would shock dogs
the audio quality is shit.

Since when brain is a muscle haha :D

Being humble isn't directly connected to pessimism, sorry.
When you achieve something, that state isn't optimism, optimism is before the achievement. Just like pessimism is before failure. Achieved in that moment would have three different reactions, self congratulatory, humble or self deprecating. Humble is a good middle ground between the two since luck plays some part in your achievements.
I agree with O.S Bandit. Humble ≠ pessimism.
It all comes down to what are you looking for in your life: the good or the bad. Either way, you will find it.
Where you been foo!? I start following you and you just give up
Man you both deserve great success.
Practical psychology, I always respected you but today you just increased that respect level to a new height with this collab.
I really feel good that you are trying to help people that are really willing to help themselves. All the best to both of you
Thanks
Thats what i need i was going to talk a girl now but was so unsure about everything how im goiing to talk etc.. but no i dont give a fuck i think about how awesome im going to feel after i talked to her and she say yes =)
Good message, but the narrator sounds really biased against pessimist people. Almost like it's personal lol.
You said it wrong!
It was a locked shocked dog, and a LOCKED no shock dog.
And afterwards they both get no lock, because they were in fact, both locked.
You said it completely wrong, and that paints a completely different, financial priveledge picture vs a controlled opposition picture!
You MUST CORRECT THIS at the beginning of the video w/ the dog allegory!
BOTH DOGS WERE LOCKED!

1. I want to learn spanish so I can finish my A Level

How did it go?

Hey congratulations on completing 1million subscribers, glad to see you back!
Truly,
Optimism is *logical* (and realistic!) >.
when i read this my mind glowed
If the dog been shocked be showed from another it will not get shocked, then it will escape.
If a person is given tools to more positive, then they may be more.
We are what our environment is as a child, until that child is given tools to change.
Raising environment will syay with until we decide to accept positive tools from others.
Change takes time.
This video is making negative people sound bad for their up bringing.
It's not a good example.
I accept people whom don't want to change. It's their path.
simplistic, but self-help books are that way, therapy is where to gain nuance
This dog is realism not pessimism. If first dog try and try again, it not change when he was in first cage, and he don't have reason to think 2nd is different. But people too often think they are in same cage, but they are not. This is problem, most people think one try is enough, but not realized that is different case so they don't even try it.
Thank you so much for this review....
Much needed, this mindset is what all of us need...
Thanks again and much more to come
glad you like it my friend
I realized a few days ago, that I have that shit - now I'm realizing that I'm probably more fucked than I thought I was
what happens to the dog which did not receive shock for pulling a lever is put in the cage which gives shock when it pulls the lever. wont it stop trying ???? please answer
Okay why is it no matter what channel I go to, when they have a guest reviewer/commentator/whatever the guest has shit audio quality?
I want to pay my credit card and I want to pay my credit line with in 2 months, I want put
5000 for saving
Great video. Please check. Both dogs got a shock not just one. Anyway great job.
Martin Seligman. Brings back memories of Psych 100 in the university days :)
Sound is bad
Thanks for the feedback
I disagree, In my opinion the sound is fine.
Practical Psychology he's talking about the other guys voice which just sounds different
King Kallax the sound quality
ayman morsy yeah sound quality not voice but it's not that bad
As a recovering pessimist I found this video very helpful. Thank you for posting.
Whoa, this review sure was helpful for someone like myself who believes himself to be a realist (pessimist); time to buy the book.
I loved it, the explanatory styles really helped me understand what optimism and pessimism were!
Don't you guys think it's kinda unrealistic optimism here, like too much?
Shahryar Munawar The fact that you think that shows you're a huge pessimist and in need of a mindset change.
yhea if your too optimistic you won't stop doing somthing till you push your self way too far. its good to be optimistic just don't end up in hospital becase you refuse to acept you have body has limits
You can have too much of anything. But it's likely we have a default setting of being optimism deficient. More optimism would most likely be good.
Thank you for your opinion everyone.
It's funny I felt the same way watching this video. I am a recovering pessimist and anything that is too optimistic immediately makes me feel suspicious. I am so mistrustful of hope that it feels illogical and stupid to believe for really good things.
where do I sign up for making a similar video for your channel?😄

Sir your video quality is nice and my favourite channel practical psychology
Glad you enjoyed!
Loooool what was that dog supposed to do? 🤣

I really really optimistic now after watching your video. It's because I choose to be positive, happy and cheerful!
Thank you! :)
Good Job Buddy,
I was suscribed to you ever since you first began UA-cam. Good Job and keep up the great work. God Bless you Theodore.
thanks
Very good! Going to have my teenagers listen to.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching :)
It'd be great a better sound quality

very interesting ,watching daily in the morning ,also be fore i get on the bed
Thank u for sharing man enjoy ur videos great help
Make a 'how to have always something to say' Video please
Read Visits to the Confabulatorium next!
Awesome.Especially the way they take credit. Awesome work.
Great motivational words from u bro thank u
Loved the video 😊
1) I want to gain 6 kilos of muscles before christmas
2) I want to buy my first apparment when i finish my apprenticeship
3) I want to complete NF
4) I want to start my big company plans within the next 5 years
And most of all...
5) I want to get rid of my social anxiety
ShootBooMmM ah naturally 6kilos is not possible, but try it:) but Stay natty Bro!
ShootBooMmM good luck with that 😊😊
Thanks! :D. I actually gained 4 kgs the first 3.5 weeks of starting working out, but i guess not all of it was muscle, maybe 60% muscle. So let me reprhase haha ''I want to gain 6 kilos before christmas'' :)
Ok thats nice! But let me give you a tip: try to gain like 1,5 kg per month, so you gain no fat :) I recommend MyFitnessPal
Don't let the goals blind you. Focus in the process!
And how many times has your optimism allowed you to be taken advantage of
I don't even know where to start... Both the optimism and pessimism described in this video are toxic and dangerous. Ironically the optimism more so. Not taking responsibility for the effects of your actions. Imagine this attitude for a surgeon, safety inspector, politician...
