Been feeling down lately. Which is odd considering things are going really well. I’ve got a lot of ambition but I feel a lack of focus. Anyway, just wanted to talk some things out with you guys.
Something I'm realizing as I grow in this job is the never ending need for "more." It's this trap that success can lead people into; a bottomless rabbit hole of more opportunities, more accomplishments, more projects, more of a legacy. You reach the next milestone, but it quickly becomes not enough. You check an item off your list and another gets added. And you step back and realize it's just another drug, just another high you're chasing. Self-checking that feeling is really hard, especially in our line of work. I get what you're feeling. You're not the only one.
no ,that's normal for ambitious people>>>>they always feel they are not doing enough no matter what! when you start to feel you are doing enough ,you will stop making progress. because your mind hates to feel uncomfortable , and it will do whatever it takes to feel better . and as he says ,he is looking for future , because that's what matters for a human, the future ,the past doesn't really matter . i can see that mark feels empty , like existence of a jewel for no reason.( and that's just guess ) i really thank him for giving us such a unique experience , i can only see from this, learning a lot about life.
Mark's humanity is one of the few things that make me hopeful for the future of our people and this planet as a whole. Thank you Mark so much, just for being you.
Mark you have already changed the lives of many. The things you have done and who you are as a person have inspired many including me. Your life means so much to so many people. I understand how you feel wanting bigger goals, but also look at the goals you have achieved. You have changed the lives of so many! Especially the longer viewers who have watched you for a very long time and have grown very close to you like myself and adore what you do.
@@ahlyae Check out "NF-Why" or any of his songs. He has very relatable/real lyrics and if you don't like rap he has different styles of music so give em a chance 😊
Damn. This one guy. This man has saved millions of lives. This man has had a huge impact on the world. This man has been there for millions when no one else was, without even knowing it. People like Mark, really just give me hope. Thank you
You HAVE changed the world, but remember that the world is also BEYOND UA-cam. You love UA-cam, but remember we're beyond this media. You can find more beyond it, and still reach us, and more. That could be a change and growth to look into..
Krosis Games just because it’s the same for you doesn’t mean it’s been the same for somebody else. Which with mental health and entertainment there has been changed.
@@Markone99 For you maybe. But for the people who have needed the help of the charities that he has raised money for, the world is very different. Also for those who decided NOT to commit suicide because marks videos and words help him, their world is very different. For me personally, if I hadn't found Mark I NEVER would have ended up getting into lets plays. I would't be watching him, Jack, or 8 Bitryan (which is basically all I do on youtube now). So the way I spend my freetime is also very different from what it would otherwise be had he not done lets plays on youtube.
This video was posted almost a year before Unus Annus started. And now that it’s over and after seeing his post Morten video it is such a wholesome feeling seeing the transition from this video to now.
I totally understand the need for momentum all the time. I am not comfortable with the status quo ever and it is my curse to bear. Thinking about the future is very good though because it prepares you for what is to come. I am now 36 and totally lost in many ways, but I was loosing my mind when I hit 30. Just remember that the world is not enough my friend because we all have progress on the brain and cannot stand to be idle. You are Awesome Mark and your restlessness will turn into the building of the next phase of life. You're next phase in life will be huge....TRUST ME !!
I'll be 37 on Sunday. Didn't really know what to expect in my 30s but I'm making it Im just wondering about my 40s. It seems like only yesterday I was 18 out on my own in the world now 40 is creeping up on me Its sad when you find a gray hair.
We should be the ones thanking you, really. Watching your videos is effortless, thinking of new materials and making them into videos and bringing joy to its viewers is the hard part...so THANK YOU Mark and always remember that no matter what, you can count on our love and support for you ❤ P.S. You're strong and you'll get through this, I just know it.
These 'thinking/rambling out loud into the camera and finding a thread along the way' kinda videos feel like a quiet conversation (albeit a one sided one) at night with a friend. I'm glad you trust us enough to give us a chunk of your thoughts sometimes, Mark. And there's always some sort of warm comforting feeling by the end of these videos. It's really nice, for lack of a better word. Hope you find that something that may or may not be missing, Mark. ♡
Oh Mark! You're such an ambitious one! It's definitely not a bad thing! People like you change the world, and I think you have, and will! I'm behind you all the way! And a lot of your fans are! You reach a wide, WIDE audience! That's a huge advantage I think. It takes a bunch of people to bring about change, and you have that! A whole community! I don't really have advice... I have only felt this way in passing--and as a depressed almost adult, I can only do so much.... there's a long road ahead of me--and you as well! I'm not sure how to help the world. There are lots of things. The environment, politics, SO many things.
I noticed that the most amazing, creative, and loved people are a lot the ones who end up being depressed or sad. I’m not saying that all depressed people are like this, but so many of the people that we look up to end up sad. And every time a UA-camr makes a video like this breaks my heart a little bit every time. Feel better Mark ❤️
I hear you bro but idk if a youtuber is the way to keep yourself from offing yourself. Talk to a professional, they know more about that than this man and that's just a fact. If u had to knave it to a Psychiatrist or a youtuber, I'd take the psychiatrist every time. Just spoke with one again today. I hear you and giving him props but wish you all the best and talk to a professional is all I'm saying. If this works for you on your off days that's great but hope you get actual real help brother. It really helps. I finally starting seeing one and it's changing my life.. wish you nothing but the best. Stay strong friend, you're loved
Awee... Its not because we have a lot good things in life that we feel fine.. Its ok to feel down We understand Hope you'll be ok ❤❤ You will find that missing thing one day, no need to rush ! Thank you for telling us all that... I want to do more too I often give up because nothing move everything hurt but Im glad, very glad to hear that message. I hope you'll be able to do more than what you already do (even if it's already awesome) We all support you !
I cried. It's unbelievable how you manage to put my feelings into words. I relate so much. I'm currently battling depression, and I believe a big precursor to this hopelessness I keep feeling is the knowing that I want something to strive for. I crave to feel that I have a purpose and that I change the world for the better everyday. I feel a strong desire to move forward, but I just can't seem to figure out where to start and where I want to go. What am I good at, what do I want to do with my life? This feeling of wanting to achieve something and the lack of hope and direction really fuels any depression, and my depression really blocks the light I'm trying to find. Thank you for being you. Once again you put my feelings into words and show us that we are not alone.
Mark, it sounds like you need to grab your van, chica, a camera guy and to go for a trip to nowhere. Just experience nature and the world on the greatest freaking road trip Vlog ever.
The challenging He craves to succeed, to fail and keep in striving for a better future for everyone, for the community. Taking a 'break' is a grave mistake and he sees it as that too, but let Mark do what he can, don't restrict him as if he needs this break.
Dose anyone else watch this video when you are sad? Because you realize that even when someone is doing great they still can feel down. That everyone is human and we all can feel down sometimes
Mark you beautiful amazing human being. We love you so so much. If you need to take a break take a break. Spend time with family and friends. Your health is our concern. I’ve been feeling the same way lately so I kinda know what you are going through. Please take care of yourself Markimoo♥️
Mark, you’ve done so much to change the world for the better. What you’ve done and what this community has done truly is incredible. I understand what you mean though. If you want to do more, then strive to do more, but make sure to enjoy the present. Otherwise, you’ll find time passing you by and you won’t have been as happy as you could be. You’re amazing, Mark, just keep doing good and great things like you always do. We’re all right here for you.
I think mark needs to get outside moar the sun gives vitaminD and vitaminD is the main Leed of happiness and as a gamer he is inside all the time so he can get those vitamins naturally
Tell that to the crazies who start shooting up everywhere because of their pain and misery that they have to hurt others because of how they feel you sure it's still "okay to not be okay?"
hmu Philly You completely ignored the second half of their comment apparently lol. They said “it’s ok to not be ok, as long as you don’t give up.” I don’t think they’re trying to say it’s ok to go shoot up a school. They’re saying that feeling sad or unhappy is not a bad thing, as long as you believe that things will turn out ok eventually. Now please leave, since you ruined a perfectly good comment with your toxicity.
1. Get a sturdy fern 2.Give it a name “Leroy” 3.Take a single seed of it every day for two months 4.After two months take all Leroys seed and scatter it in your back yard randomly 5.wait for new ferns 6. Plant Leroy with his new family 7. Call Leroy papa Leroy l 8. Continue scattering all seeds 9. Sell ferns as cloak merch 10. Sell all ferns 11. Realize the point of this 12. Repeat 13. Don’t want to continue planting ferns 14. Revisit the first game you ever played.
I know that Cloak is meant to be plain clothing without many emblems/pictures and stuff, but I wish it had more on it. Even if they just made some cool looking geometric patterns or some shit.
Respect your feelings, talk about them. Life is a puzzle, and this bored feeling is a part of it. No one has everything figured out one hundred percent of the time. “People will forget what you’ve said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget the way you made them feel.”- Maya Angelou
I always see you in other comments. And, I'm gonna be completely honest. That's was the most beautiful short sentence I have seen in a long time. Please don't change. Keep being awesome:D
There are things in life we don't understand. The sudden bouts of unease and loss of direction can strike at anytime and will hit anyone. It can happen to the young, the old, the simple and complex, to the carefree and doubtful. It comes and goes but the memory will stay, like an imaginary chill clinging to your spine. It's up to the person whether the memory haunts or is forgotten
Mark, you care soo much about total strangers you will do anything to make the world great. That's what I love about you. That's what millions of strangers love about you. You are an amazing person. It's perfectly ok to feel down. Everyone does. I do. But you make us happy. And if rambling makes you happy, do it. If making videos make you happy, do it. Anything that makes you happy, do it. Me and many others (I'm sure) will be happy that you're happy. So find your joy, even if your just a little down, I want you to be the happiest you can! Love you sooo much. Hope you have a wonderful, amazing, great day!💖💖💖
My 10 yr. old son watches your videos all the time and I was like who is this guy? He replied it's Markiplier mom; he's funny. I watched with him and laughed as well but also watched some of your more serious vids it's amazing what you do. I also believe that just about anyone or everyone wants to do more to help make our world a better place to live. It can be hard on making decisions what could be more helpful or joyful to the populace that is culture or population. Turning 30 is just another number but I do understand the need to want to do more than what you're doing now. Stay positive, stay ambitious and you'll find your goal that you want to reach eventually.
I say this with the upmost sincerity, I think your ambition has burned you out to an extent. I'm not saying to stop being you, not at all. You're so focused on "[your] future, your friend's future, humanity's future," etc. and there's nothing wrong with preparing for the future, but I think you're so set on what's going to happen tomorrow or what your 30s are going to be defined by, that you feel like today is passing you by which makes you feel glum. I've had concerns similar to yours to where it nearly consumed me and the only thing I could think about was the future and what I was going to do. It was miserable because I couldn't enjoy being in the now. My mom still tells me now to take life one day at a time. Nothing wrong in preparing for the future, but don't spend your life worried or stuck thinking about it. Enjoy your life, man. You've got friends, family, and pets that love you dearly, and they wouldn't want you to feel down because you're thinking about the future of everyone. Enjoy your life. Don't feel that you have to "define" your 30s or any other age. Life is different for everyone. I'm still trying to figure out mine. Don't whittle your's away trying to figure it out for everyone else.
Same. I failed my last exam and have to leave the nursing program. Now, I have to wait a semester to either go back or do something else. It's ok to be feeling down as long as you figure it out and pick yourself back up. I would donate my time if I were you to those people less fortunate. It's the holidays and families don't have food for Thanksgiving, older people are lonely in the nursing home, people are forced to stay in the hospital during the holidays because of unforseen events. It feels good to help and make a difference. You make a difference indirectly for people and that's the incredible thing about youtube. We are all searching for purpose. I understand you man. We will figure it out and hopefully find our purpose. Much love man
Mark, this melancholy feeling is probably because you’re a little stressed. You just launched cloak and you’re having fun on the channel and all but because you’re putting out so much content so fast that you’re now subconsciously preparing for the future. And the more you think of the future, the more scenarios you create for yourself, and overall you’re just over stressing yourself. And also, slow down! I know you stated that you were bored and you wanna do more and more but the more you do now, the less you have later, and eventually, you’ll run out of things to do and you’ll get bored again. All you should do know is take like a week long break, chill out, have fun with Chica, sleep in, and discover new music. Mark, you’re amazing and you have inspired me and many other people. Don’t worry, you’re fine. Now relax and chill out.
Mark.... Trust me that you have helped people more than you think. I for one almost did something that would have removed me from this world. But I didn’t because you ,Jack, and others that have helped get through some situations in my life, you and others are the reason why I choose to stay here any longer ☺️. I can only thank you, and remind you of the positive affects your actions have on others.
Me too. I got really depressed and scared last year that I would get too broken to think for myself and that I would’ve ended it. I hated being sad and I hated that I would ever think like that, so whenever I would start to cry I would just watch their videos and it would bring me back up. They have really helped me and I probrably wouldn’t be here with out them.
I know how you feel. I turn 30 next month and o constantly get the feeling that my 20 were wasted and I didn't do enough or do everything I thought I would have accomplished by now and it's always feeling like I'm driving down the road and reaching the end too fast and I'm not getting to enjoy the ride there. Your such an inspiring person and with your personality and your passion for doing things and helping people your almost magnetic. When I first saw your videos I was kinda drawn to you and you make me want to be a better person. I think you do that to a lot of people and you help far more people than your aware of. Your such a driven person and I know whatever you do and wherever you go whether you fail or succeed you will. e amazing at it either way.
@@herbertweiner8055damn dude, ya caught me. I guess now no one is going to want to watch me dry hump a dude dressed like a minecraft pig on my tik tok account. I guess I should have used my snapchat photo...
I think many of us 30-year-olds feel like our 20's were wasted...but I know that through my 20's...I was content and happy. I may feel like I could have done more, but at the same time...I was just happy. If that makes sense.
Maybe start a new project? A bigger one then "Who killed Markiplier". Maybe a movie? Something that you think is important, and something that you think will inspire others. Maybe try different art forms, maybe make a short film that doesn't revolve around the Markiplier universe. Or even, maybe go on a trip to somewhere you've never been before, if you can, go explore the rare parts of earth. The world is a big place, and has so much to offer. It's all up to you Mark, but thanks for what you've given us so far. Whatever you do will be great because you are you.
That would be pretty dope, but I think he's referring to the more chairitable aspect of it. Or maybe that's a pretty dope idea, who tf knows. At any rate, he'll get better. He tends to always bounce back eventually.
It's a good thought. We should start something to help him get money for stuff like that. Unfortunately I wouldn't be much help but I have faith it the other 2 million people on here.
You should go back to doing charity stuff again. You always had this fire and passion when you were making content based around helping others. In fact you could probably start your own charity to fight what you believe is the biggest problem in this world. Personally I would love too see you do something for the homeless, or Red Cross because they are helping the people in California that have now become homeless.
Hi Mark, it's okay to feel that way, it happens to all of us and more recently it's happened to me because I feel like my career hasnt advanced where I'd like it to be, because I would like to also leave a positive change in the world. Part of the problem that I found out is that you should not compare yourself to people, and how they've impacted the world as opposed to you. The fact that all 22 million of us love you and support you, is proof that you are doing more than enough for the world, and always trust us to push you forward with whatever we can offer. We are here for each other, as humans and roommates on this small planet.
It blows my mind that this man spends so much time doing and giving and being the best kind of human to look up to, and he still wishes he could do more. That's not something you see very often. It's such an admirable quality. But, it is also a damaging one. I look up to Mark so much. He's the kind of person I want to be someday. He is one of my driving forces. And it makes me wonder: If Mark has done all of this and still wants more, than what more can I be doing? What kind of change can I bring about? Because I also wish to do good and to leave more than I take. Hopefully, me, Mark, and anyone else feeling this way will soon find their purpose. Maybe soon, we will live up to our full potential...
Mark you’ve done some much and will do some much more for the world. It’s the right thing to do to think and ponder where to go from here. Whatever you decide, wherever things go, remember that all your fans (your family) has your back the whole way. Go make the world a better place!!! No matter what, Charity Live-streams, regular videos, cool sketches, something incredible no one has ever done before, we will help you reach your dreams.
I have to say Mark, I know exactly how you feel. New year's eve 1998 my dad died. I was 12. 10 years later I felt really down, and didn't even connect the dots. Obviously I feel down every year. Then this year it was 20 years (I'm not old, not old! 32 is not old dammit). And it has hit me so hard, and again more subconsciously. I started to question everything in the world. I started avoiding facebook and the news because of the depressing stories everywhere. And more importantly I wish I could do more to help those in need. And it's saddens me so much that I can't. But your videos, they have been a constant bright spot. Your infectious enthusiasm, the raging and the laughs. The jump scares and the honesty. Every single one has had me laughing, crying and just feeling better knowing that there are people like you out there. So thank you. Because of you, I have decided to give streaming a try as a way to talk through random things, whether people are there listening or not, it's an outlet. Thank you for just being you
One of my subscribers gave me this quote and it reminded me of what my dreams are, and it made me more ambitious to do the things I love *Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.*
it’s 4 am where i am and i was feeling so so down and idk what i was looking for but i was just randomly scrolling on and on through vlogs of marks looking for a fun one to distract me but this one popped up and for whatever reason i felt so compelled to watch it and i’m so glad i did. idk how i didn’t see this when it came out but i’m glad i didn’t cause i definitely needed it more now. ignoring my issues won’t make them go away, but attempting to process what’s getting me down and why will help even slightly. just watching this and being able to identify with so much of what you said in this lifted me up a bit and definitely made me tear up. idk dude. he’s been there for me for like idek five years now?? and i’ve always leaned on him, and i know he leans on us. everything about this just felt like i was meant to find it at this moment right now. cause this is EXACTLY how i’m feeling. and i didn’t and still really don’t know how to deal. even him saying to get some sleep just made me feel so connected like he was right there telling me that since it’s so late and i can’t sleep cause my mind is constantly racing right now. i don’t know... thank you though even though i know no one will see this. this is my own little ramble, thank you for reminding me i need to do this at times.
Mark, it's okay. Sometimes you just feel sad for no reason, and that's perfectly fine. We're all here for you, and we'll be here when you need support.
I think part of the reason I relate and admire Mark so much is that I get this too! Always wondering if I can do more with my life. I know i have a greater purpose, we all do. I just havent found mine yet. Thanks Mark, for everything you do. And I am so proud of this community!! 😊🥰
What your thinking mark isn't wrong at all, in fact I've been thinking the same thing, we all want to be and mean something even after we do alot, the world is messed up and there's so much more we can do to better it, keep doing what your doing and try to do more if that's what you truly want and no matter what, we will support you
ShayTheReaper .0, I am supporting you and Mark. Let’s hope Mark feels better in the future. He did said this before actually. I remember it. Saying that he feels like he needs to do more, that’s extremely something I remember.
Depression can creep on upon anyone mark. It can come in waves. These waves can be short, long, really frequent, or really delayed. From what I/we recall, you've gone through a lot this year, starting a clothing brand, losing loved ones, doing things that most people wouldn't even believe they would be able to do in their life time. You move people, more then you think. And those people will move you back. But sometimes, despite all the good, and the bad that happens. Depression will always find a way to sneak up on you, and put a dark cloud over your head. It makes you feel like you have a sense of continued dread over you. Not so much that you'd be worried for your safety or someone else's safety. But more along the lines of you being overly careful about what actions you end up doing which, if left unchecked. These actions will start running your life, more then you want them to. You gotta try your damnedest to manage your life and what you wish to do, and even what you wish to feel. If you're missing something, try to achieve it. Now... With all that being said. I know you want to go out and do more mark, and by all means go for it. But be warned. I've seen people try to go forward, go beyond youtube. And some of those people are quite successful, and others aren't. Not saying you wouldn't be, its pretty clear that you are extremely successful with how you've built yourself and your channel. It's just. "WE" don't want to watch you go down a road that you're not ready to handle. You might not be able to handle it. Hell, you might BE able to handle it, but it might become a bit to much later on. It all depends on whether or not you're ready for that change. Whatever you wish to do mark. Make sure you think it over first before doing it. We will support you throughout the whole journey. It's just we also don't want to watch you fall off halfway through either, because you weren't ready. Sure, failing is a learn experience. But failing continuously isn't something you would want to do. Which is what I/a lot of use fear would happen to you... We don't want to see you become demotivated, to the point where you stop trying, and give up. Hopefully, that won't ever happen. Regardless. Best of luck though with everything. You changed a lot since I/a lot of us have found you. From the first time I found you steaming SCP-087b to now. You've changed and grown a massive fuckton. *Aside from height I guess :P* And I sure the hell hope you continue to grow and expand to as many people as possible, to leave your "mark" in everyone's heart and so forth.
Mark, you always make me feel like there's more I could achieve in life but I could never know what. Just being here and watching your videos brings all sorts of good emotions. Even when you say you're a little down you let "us" know and try to sort it out with "us". UA-cam doesn't have a lot of Creators like you these days I feel. More people are making content for the sake of making content and that's perfectly fine, It's great. But you, you seem like you make videos to better the lives of all of us. You inspire us to do our best. I'm watching this at 3:30 at night I'm so happy that I did. At night everyone sleeping so all you have is your own thought and you see things that you don't see in the day because the day is always occupied so night time is sometimes a great time think and reflect on your own thoughts and ideas. "Carpe Noctem 'Seize The Night.' " Thank You, Mark ❤.
I know this is a serious video but am I the only one who suddenly thought of 'You do you and I'll do me and we won't do each other. Probably' when you saw Kitty Chu's comment? (Probably really confused on what I just said XD)
@Markiplier According to psychology, a man/woman about to be in his 30s or in his 30s goes through what is called a "Mid-life Crisis". Basically it's everything you say, you look back at your life and think what to do want more. "Many middle-aged adults experience major life events that can cause a period of psychological stress or depression", you want and think you can do more which is good. But this might be an explanation to what you feel, but even if it wasn't as humans we want to be better people. You have potential and if you want to do more you do it! Good luck, have fun, and enjoy the ride that is life. (P.S If you do see this Hi)
@@lokint9649 "According to the Oxford English Dictionary middle age is between 45 and 65: "The period between early adulthood and old age, usually considered as the years from about 45 to 65." But then there's this other one: "Is 30s middle aged? Middle age begins in your mid-30s and ends in your late 50s, a new survey finds. According to a study, the average Briton believes that youth ends at 35 and old age begins at 58. In between - all 23 years - is your middle age." Either way not 30...
I dont think he needs a break he needs the opposite. A big goal that he can work and work and work on to keep his focus on it and the future and believe he is doing something good
Mark is such an amazing person! He does so much work for charity it is unbelievable! Mark help many people without realising it, through his videos and also charity. He loves fans which is shown through countless videos of his and he is humble! He is also been able to inspire me unlike any other celebrity before! Mark ties in his personal experiences and really connects with his audience in every video, especially the vlogs. He is such a humble person... There are many reasons why I think that Mark is amazing but I can’t list them all in just one comment... I understand what Mark is saying about wanting to do something and not just sitting around. How he loves new adventures, failure and doing something new, how he wants to change the world for the better. He wants to help many people. I, personally feel the same about everything he said... How no matter how much you've done, you still want to do more and be occupied and change the world. Mark, if you are reading this, I want you to know that many people completely relate to what you are saying. We all really appreciate you and we are all always here for you as you are always there for us. Thank you, Mark, for being the inspiration for 22 million people worldwide and making my day, every day!
I have to say that Markiplier is doing the best he can. He's down, and I feel pain hearing this. But, through him, he's made the world a better place. He does so much for the world. He's caring, and that's what makes him an awesome UA-cam star. I appreciate what he does, and one day I would like to meet him to say this to him. But for now, this comment will live in this video. But, I want to meet more people like him. Please feel better, Mark. Try to do as much as you can do that helps others. Get well.
i keep coming back to the serious vlogs because it feels good to just hear another voice sometimes and know that other people need to deal with this sort of thing
Just wanted to say. If you need time. Then we’ll be happy to give you it. It’s okay if you need time to recalibrate. Your feelings are your own, so don’t worry about feeling bad for us! So, If your unhappy, please remember, we’re here for you, and for a long time from now, we will be. Also, a bigbigbigbigbigbigbigbigbigbig ect. Happy birthday. Also, it’s not wrong that you don’t think everything is enough, everyone feels like that sometimes. It’s okay if you need time off, just warn us, and just do it. We all love ya mark, And we’re right behind you if you wanna get out there, and help people, and be everything you want to be. Everyone wants a better world. And if you keep trying, it WILL mean something. Love your work, keep being awesome. And...if you don’t think you’ve affected people. Know that you have helped me, when I was having my worst year of my life. My mother has just died of blood cancer, and I wasn’t going to write this, but I’ve decided to, because your open with your feelings and experiences, so why don’t I give a little bit of that trust back. Thankyou, for you and Jack helping me through a part of my life that could have shattered me. Thanks mark, just for being you.
Man nice writing im with you if you need time mark i think we will all be willing to give it to you you have helped me so much man you have helped so many people and what you have done has changed peoples lives just take time
As a person who experienced a type of 'down' you're feeling right now, I can tell what it is, it's that there's nothing to keep a 'spark' there, nothing exciting and not meaning your life is boring, but it's just that... There's no real bad thing in your life, where everything is in perfect stasis but things outside are what really gives a 'spark', like hitting a rough patch in a relation-ship, or drama between friends, or even a love one gone. It's just that there's Lack Of anything interesting outside of that perfect stasis. I've gone threw it, and I got out of it by getting out there more making more friends online and offline, trying new hobbies helped my friend (how pointed out to me about this when I was going threw it). Try to do more things, get out there and do More when you can handle and don't get anxiety from doing more. Just do more on Your time.
Stefan Sharak I feel like that’s the opposite of what Mark should do. He feels like he isn’t doing enough and to fix that by doing nothing at all for a couple weeks seems like it would only agitate him more.
Mark, I think that you are looking in the wrong direction for happiness. I, like you, am a 'go getter' and am always looking to the next thing to bring fulfillment and happiness in my life. I have found that (when I am able to) living in the moment and taking true appreciation in what I already have, is the only path to lasting happiness. You must look within to find inner peace. Looking to the next project or idea etc. will not bring a feeling of accomplishment and happiness that is lasting. It took me an awful long time to figure that out and I constantly battle with the need of 'the next best thing'. Perhaps saying this to you is my way of trying to recapture that same feeling of fulfillment that is found in complacency. It is a constant struggle but one worth fighting. Good luck Mark...and I know as sure as the day is long I will need that same luck myself! Cheers!
@@karmadollie8063 Thank you Karma...Love the name btw! I hope he sees this as well. I really hate to see (dare I say) a friend in pain. I too have felt this same 'longing' for the next thing, but it always seemed end in depression because nothing really fills that emptiness inside. People like myself need to look inside and appreciate what we already have to find true happiness. I always seem to be in my head when i should be living in the moment. Best regards Karma! Happy holidays!
3b I honestly couldn’t have said it better myself! I went to therapy just yesterday and my therapist said a lot of time with creators of any kind (I’m a writer) you always want to act on your next big idea and you push yourself and you critique and basically everything you said. So yeah, really hope mark sees your comment cause I’m sure a lot of people experience this and don’t even notice. Oh, and mark. My therapist also mentioned Looking at the future can cause anxiety and looking at the past can cause depression. Sooo that may be something to keep in mind as well.
I get this feeling all the time when I finish a comic or story. I spend so much time putting my soul into these projects but then when I've accomplished the task and it's all sai and done... I domt know what to do next. I dont know where to start again. I get like.... a 'victorious depression'. When I get caught in these cycles mark, I usually buy a notebook. And I fill this book with ideas, my wishes my Hope's and dreams. And I fill the book until I cant fill it anymore... then I read it all front to back. And I choose one thing. Maybe this could help you too mark. It helps me.... but remember that we are always going to be here and we will always be behind your efforts to change the world because believe me, we need more people like you who are out to make a difference.
3 years later. I'm feeling pretty down, too. I have dreams and things I want to do that I just don't have access to yet. It feels like I want to do so much and nothing at all at the same time. I don't exactly know why, but it's just there. I can't stop thinking about sad things. However, I'm still here and I can still do what I want to do. You inspire so many, Mark. I love you for the positive impact that you've given to so many, including yourself. I constantly come back to you because you make me smile and laugh. I appreciate everything you've done. We love you very much Mark. ❤️
Sorry I didn't watch this earlier but I love you mark. Even if I said you do more than enough.. A lot of the times you will always have that feeling. What matters is what you do to keep that feeling distant. You may never feel like you have done enough.. But in reality you have made this community and helped so many people just with their own mental health. Do you know how many lives you've saved just by saying it will be ok in the camera? I'm one of them. You are a great man just keep doing what you're doing and anything else that keeps that feeling distant and you'll have a happy life.
Don't feel down mark be proud of what you've achieved you've made so many people happy and you're gonna make more happy and slowly change the world we love you mark keep it up buddy i can't get enough of your content
He isnt down that he didnt do something he is down because he needs to do something he dosent want to sit around he wants to change the world he is worried about the future
it's 5:57am. im currently sitting in the same spot ive been in for eleven months. all the days are the same. i barely leave the house or my bed. im stuck in my own unmotivated mind, stuck in learned helplessness. I can't make myself do productive things. im wasting my life and life is stuck right now in this pandemic. this video made me see where I want to be in the future once im past this but where I could be if only i help myself and change my own mind. I keep waiting for the pandemic to end to say ill be back being successful but I can reframe my mind to make the days matter. im super stubborn and it's easier said than done, but maybe I can do it. I need my motivation back
*Happiness isn’t a constant, would be really weird if someone was only happy all the time. And you have no idea how you impact people do you? Bringing smiles and causing laughter puts such a positive effect on someone. With every video you put someone into a positive feeling and that changes their day and therefore changing other peoples day, which ultimately has a positive impact on the world. You have no clue how much you actually do. 💙*
RainbowUnicorn Queen how do I send this to markiplier personally and like this 100 times over again and also highlight it by myself this is literally so important
I'm not a psychologist. I don't claim to be. But I have spent a lot of time working with them and something I am hearing in this and that I have heard from you before, Mark, is concerning to me. You speak a lot about wanting to leave a change on the world which is a good goal tied intrinsically to human nature, but I worry about the lense you are seeing it through. I don't know that you will ever see this comment but to anyone struggling with something similar I encourage you to try and view the impact of your current contributions. Mark, you may feel you haven't changed the world because your worldview feels largely the same, but you absolutely have. All the young people who have found peace and joy in your content while struggling with anxiety and depression, for example. To them? You changed the world. To some of them you gave them the world again when all they saw was darkness that no one else could shed a light on. Those young people will go on to have successful lives and families should they choose and you contributed to making that possible. All your charity streams have helped so many. Not only do they raise money, but they inspire others to give and continue to do so. You play a large part in supporting organizations that do so much good in the world. Getting their message out and inspiring people to give. I could go on but this is already getting long. My main point is that you don't need to and honestly shouldn't try to view your contributions to the world by how you have shaped your own worldview. It is rarely satisfying and you will always see more to do than you have done because you have a kind heart that wants to help. I encourage you to take a moment, maybe once a week, and try to think of the ripple effect your accomplishments have to help others. When I struggled with this I set a goal for myself and for a few months I would go once a week and volunteer at a donation center somewhere in my community. While I was there I would try to think of all the good each package I made could do. It made everything feel so much more special and helped me to see those positives in my everyday life. Whatever works for you, to anyone who can find this helpful, merely being alive and waking up today has created so many opportunities that the world wouldn't have had if you hadn't. Everything you do, big or small, can change the world. Helping just one person, even if it is you, may not fix all the problems across the globe but for that person you may have just given them the world and that is beautiful.

I feel the exact same way about my life. I feel like I'm stuck in the sane everyday cycle, but I've tried to focus on the little differences snd focus on them so that the days don't start to mesh together like they used to. I used to forget so much because everyday felt like i was a broken record stuck on replay, seeing and doing the exact same thing over and over, but i always try to put things into perspective. I always think about what i want my life to mean and it sucks when my first thought is that "it means nothing" and yes it means nothing now but i want it to mean something for at least the pepple i love. I want a meaning in my life and i want to find it but i just have to sit and wait to find what that entails anf what that means for me further down the line, but i havs to focus on the present right now. I have to focus on the fact that i am important, which is probably why my favorite quote from mark is "you are important" Wow i just made a rant comment here...my bad
Me too. With school and everything I feel like everything is the same thing over and over. But when ever I try changing the "cycle" it always still feels the same.
By feeling this way you can make things better because without feeling this way you can't really get past that feeling. Idk if that made sense or not but I hope that I made someone's day/night ^_^
I feel the same, but my sense of time makes it odd. Sometimes a week feels like it's been 2 weeks or a week feels like a few days or a year feels like a few months. I normally focus on the things I do in certain classes like playing Quizletlive In English and my team almost always winning or laughing at joke from my history teacher or someone in class. During the weekends I focus on what happens, pet tom & jerry (2 calico cats at my ex-stepdads house) or maybe I Finally hatched a shiny, albino or melan Pokemon on pokefarm. Everyone deals with feeling down differently, mine is focusing on some good things that happened.
Change the world? Dude! mark, you are a 22M subscribed to UA-cam, who raises money for charity, inspires laughter and happiness to those who watch and are lots of peoples' personal heroes, *my* hero, you have done so much to change the world, don't ever doubt that you are making a difference, ever. You are my, and perhaps all other comenter's heroes, as well as most people who watch your videos. Never change. *Ever*
Agreed man, Mark you have done so much for over 20 million people in the world, what you do helps make people happy and help raise so much money for things that are important in the world like charity's. So please don't ever change Mark.
This video helped me a lot, I’ve been going through the same situation and I really feel stuck right now. Thank you mark and thank you for everything you have helped me through the past 6 years I’ve watched you and these type of videos really are a big thing that keeps me here, keep it up man, keep your head up because you’re the reason a lot of us do.
Mark, you have done so much great already in this world! With this video alone, you inspire people to do something to better the world. You can do everything, if you want to achieve great things, pursue them! We all believe in you! You have influenced over 20 million people with your funny and happy personality and your goals to make the world a better place. You give people the courage to pursue their dreams, or even just showing people that big dreams and goals are something that one does not need to be embarrassed about and where pursuing it is not meaningless.
I feel honored to hear your thoughts no matter if they’re sad, happy, confusing. No matter what emotion you have and show in these videos, in a way I can feel what you feel and relate to what you say on a personal level. Idk, it makes me feel more connected to you not only as just a viewer or a fan or supporter, but just another human being with the same emotions and thoughts. Or I’m just crazy 👌🏻
This title is scaring me Edit 3 (I want it up here): Mark don’t feel bad about rambling. We’re the ones who came to this video to listen. We are all here for you, and I would legit listen to 24 hours of you talking (not all at once, but I’d break it down). Edit: I haven’t even watched the whole thing, but Mark we’re here for you!!! Edit 2: I’m not going to say thanks for the likes, because this comment isn’t about the likes. I will say however, I am glad so many people agree. Mark is a wonderful person and he has given us all so much.
Virtual hugs... Edit: I know lot of you are feeling down now, hopefully one day we will get over the situations that we are going through now....(believe in one day!)
'I want to leave behind more than I take' -Markiplier Mark,I know you wanna inspire people and make something great with what you have but you have to see that..you are a person,and we all care about you in our very own ways,we all believe that one day you'll do something so great and help out this world. I find it great that you share your own feelings with us,I just wanna connect here and say I've had this same situation. Your surrounded by happiness and you're happy yourself,but sometimes sadness or despair gets the best of us. Just know that no matter what we will all be here to support,love,and care for you. ~Love you Mark,hope you feel better~ ❤Always have hope❤ Sorry,I just had to add something else. Mark,you give so much yet you feel like it's so little. You've given us plenty,but here you are giving us more and more everyday. To be honest,I feel bad that I'm not doing something to support you,and I'm sure alot of us feel the same way. Love is a powerful thing,and you've given it to such a big audience of people. Please,don't push yourself too hard. We can wait as long as forever for your great plan to make something great. I'll never leave you behind Mark,just know that. Just imagine how many lives you've changed just be posting tweets,or pictures,and even videos! Imagine all the frowns you turned into happy bright smiles everyday,you mean so much to world and everyone around you. ~Once again,I love you Mark~ ❤❤
I dont watch Markiplier much, but i felt like i could relate soo much to this and i'm only 17. I've been feeling this kind of thing lately which is actually affecting my daily life alot. But massive respect to you for sharing this, i've had the notifications on but i only watch the videos where i feel like to watch. Watching this all really just always reminds me on how much life i have and i got alot to live and i can do something in the coming future to change myself and change the world and make it a better place and inspire other's to do the same
@@pilkkimies The part about "Changing the world and inspiring other's to do the same" and "Something is missing" really got me, considering the fact that i'm 17 and i haven't done shit in my life. Hah, it's kind of fair for me to think like that because i wanna do this all too, be a content creator(i've already started it) & Inspire other's to change the world.
Wonderfully expressed Divasees. My input is something I hope that you take to heart as well if it applies. Life is a wonderful gift that needs daily exploration of everything and anything. Cheers my friend.
I know I'm a couple months late, but I just wanted to say that you're such a great person, Mark. You bring so many people so much joy, I admire your charity work, and I'm really grateful for your videos. I'm not always feeling, well, happy. And whenever I get really down, one of my favorite things to do to cheer myself up is to watch some of your videos. Your funny ones for a good laugh or some your deeper, more meaningful ones to put a smile on my face. You never fail to make me feel better, even when life is really difficult and heavy. I know you don't know me, and that I'm just another person in this comment section, and that you may not even see this, but I just wanted you to know how much I, and so many other people, appreciate you. Thank you so much, for everything that you do. And I really hope that now, a couple months after you posted this video, that you're feeling much happier.
Something I'm realizing as I grow in this job is the never ending need for "more." It's this trap that success can lead people into; a bottomless rabbit hole of more opportunities, more accomplishments, more projects, more of a legacy. You reach the next milestone, but it quickly becomes not enough. You check an item off your list and another gets added. And you step back and realize it's just another drug, just another high you're chasing. Self-checking that feeling is really hard, especially in our line of work. I get what you're feeling. You're not the only one.
Well said Rebecca.
Didn't expect to see you here
Like zoinks... that hit me hard
OH MY GOD ITS REALLY HER
exactly UA-camrs understanding eachother
People always feel down when success hits them hard. Remember that you are your own worst critic my friend.
Couldn't have said it better myself...
Somebody quote this man
You are the best we are here for you
no ,that's normal for ambitious people>>>>they always feel they are not doing enough no matter what!
when you start to feel you are doing enough ,you will stop making progress.
because your mind hates to feel uncomfortable , and it will do whatever it takes to feel better .
and as he says ,he is looking for future , because that's what matters for a human, the future ,the past doesn't really matter .
i can see that mark feels empty , like existence of a jewel for no reason.( and that's just guess )
i really thank him for giving us such a unique experience , i can only see from this, learning a lot about life.
You speak truely. Mark, if it doesn't feel like enough, ask yourself why it doesn't feel like enough.
You, sir, are someone whom I truly respect.
And you as well @Ivy S.
Those who want respect give respect and he embodies that to a fault.
I love this side of Markiplier
Me too, he is so open and honest, always wanting to do more to help others.
So you mean, that you like markiplier Feeling Down?! And Him being sad?! Dang that's kinda mean but okay...
No, him being honest and genuine.
I know, right?
Me too
Mark's humanity is one of the few things that make me hopeful for the future of our people and this planet as a whole. Thank you Mark so much, just for being you.
Mark you have already changed the lives of many. The things you have done and who you are as a person have inspired many including me. Your life means so much to so many people. I understand how you feel wanting bigger goals, but also look at the goals you have achieved. You have changed the lives of so many! Especially the longer viewers who have watched you for a very long time and have grown very close to you like myself and adore what you do.

You HAVE changed the world, but remember that the world is also BEYOND UA-cam. You love UA-cam, but remember we're beyond this media. You can find more beyond it, and still reach us, and more. That could be a change and growth to look into..
Was going to write something inspirational but you beat me to it.
How tf did he change the world ?? O.o

@@foxydear4020 I love you
@@Markone99 For you maybe. But for the people who have needed the help of the charities that he has raised money for, the world is very different. Also for those who decided NOT to commit suicide because marks videos and words help him, their world is very different. For me personally, if I hadn't found Mark I NEVER would have ended up getting into lets plays. I would't be watching him, Jack, or 8 Bitryan (which is basically all I do on youtube now). So the way I spend my freetime is also very different from what it would otherwise be had he not done lets plays on youtube.

Ava Lowery were you the one uploading a video years ago at the time with the stuff hapenning with mark’s friend?
This video was posted almost a year before Unus Annus started. And now that it’s over and after seeing his post Morten video it is such a wholesome feeling seeing the transition from this video to now.
I totally understand the need for momentum all the time. I am not comfortable with the status quo ever and it is my curse to bear. Thinking about the future is very good though because it prepares you for what is to come. I am now 36 and totally lost in many ways, but I was loosing my mind when I hit 30. Just remember that the world is not enough my friend because we all have progress on the brain and cannot stand to be idle. You are Awesome Mark and your restlessness will turn into the building of the next phase of life. You're next phase in life will be huge....TRUST ME !!
Wutaii1 Nostalgia, I don’t believe there are more “phases” in life, but I agree with the compassion.

We should be the ones thanking you, really. Watching your videos is effortless, thinking of new materials and making them into videos and bringing joy to its viewers is the hard part...so THANK YOU Mark and always remember that no matter what, you can count on our love and support for you ❤
P.S.
You're strong and you'll get through this, I just know it.
Never heard words more true...
Couldn’t have said it better myself. We’re with you, Mark. Thank you so much.
These 'thinking/rambling out loud into the camera and finding a thread along the way' kinda videos feel like a quiet conversation (albeit a one sided one) at night with a friend. I'm glad you trust us enough to give us a chunk of your thoughts sometimes, Mark. And there's always some sort of warm comforting feeling by the end of these videos. It's really nice, for lack of a better word.
Hope you find that something that may or may not be missing, Mark. ♡
well said
It is pretty comforting, like laying near a roaring fire place in a comfy bed with your loved one. A really nice feeling to fall asleep to
Eileen Zamby Indeed Eileen...Indeed
Perfectly stated! I love these kinds of videos! It's like a friend leaving you a message and just wanting to talk.
i love how mark is one of the people on the internet who isnt scared to show his true self and his soft side and i love it
Oh Mark! You're such an ambitious one! It's definitely not a bad thing! People like you change the world, and I think you have, and will!
I'm behind you all the way! And a lot of your fans are! You reach a wide, WIDE audience! That's a huge advantage I think. It takes a bunch of people to bring about change, and you have that! A whole community!
I don't really have advice... I have only felt this way in passing--and as a depressed almost adult, I can only do so much.... there's a long road ahead of me--and you as well!
I'm not sure how to help the world. There are lots of things. The environment, politics, SO many things.
I noticed that the most amazing, creative, and loved people are a lot the ones who end up being depressed or sad. I’m not saying that all depressed people are like this, but so many of the people that we look up to end up sad. And every time a UA-camr makes a video like this breaks my heart a little bit every time. Feel better Mark ❤️
I'd totally listen to a Markiplier podcast. I appreciate real talks like this
It has been 9 hours why has mark not started on a podcast
Mark's ASMR.
i would listen to eat everyday
Mark you have no idea how many times you've kept me from suicide. Thank you so fucking much. I love you man.

I hear you bro but idk if a youtuber is the way to keep yourself from offing yourself. Talk to a professional, they know more about that than this man and that's just a fact. If u had to knave it to a Psychiatrist or a youtuber, I'd take the psychiatrist every time. Just spoke with one again today. I hear you and giving him props but wish you all the best and talk to a professional is all I'm saying. If this works for you on your off days that's great but hope you get actual real help brother. It really helps. I finally starting seeing one and it's changing my life.. wish you nothing but the best. Stay strong friend, you're loved
Awee... Its not because we have a lot good things in life that we feel fine.. Its ok to feel down
We understand
Hope you'll be ok ❤❤
You will find that missing thing one day, no need to rush !
Thank you for telling us all that...

I cried. It's unbelievable how you manage to put my feelings into words. I relate so much. I'm currently battling depression, and I believe a big precursor to this hopelessness I keep feeling is the knowing that I want something to strive for. I crave to feel that I have a purpose and that I change the world for the better everyday. I feel a strong desire to move forward, but I just can't seem to figure out where to start and where I want to go. What am I good at, what do I want to do with my life? This feeling of wanting to achieve something and the lack of hope and direction really fuels any depression, and my depression really blocks the light I'm trying to find.
Thank you for being you. Once again you put my feelings into words and show us that we are not alone.
Elida Hole i’m with you, feel the exact same way too. There’s always people out there who are in a situation like you.

Sam K. Why does it have to be a vlog he should just take a little break
this would be awesome
Sam K. Yeah
The challenging He craves to succeed, to fail and keep in striving for a better future for everyone, for the community. Taking a 'break' is a grave mistake and he sees it as that too, but let Mark do what he can, don't restrict him as if he needs this break.
Actually I think that is a great idea 👍
Dose anyone else watch this video when you are sad? Because you realize that even when someone is doing great they still can feel down. That everyone is human and we all can feel down sometimes
Mark you beautiful amazing human being. We love you so so much. If you need to take a break take a break. Spend time with family and friends. Your health is our concern. I’ve been feeling the same way lately so I kinda know what you are going through. Please take care of yourself Markimoo♥️

If you want to do more, then strive to do more, but make sure to enjoy the present. Otherwise, you’ll find time passing you by and you won’t have been as happy as you could be. You’re amazing, Mark, just keep doing good and great things like you always do. We’re all right here for you.

I think mark needs to get outside moar the sun gives vitaminD and vitaminD is the main Leed of happiness and as a gamer he is inside all the time so he can get those vitamins naturally
He knows that
It’s ok not to be okay, as long as you aren’t giving up.
Love you mark ❤️
Tell that to the crazies who start shooting up everywhere because of their pain and misery that they have to hurt others because of how they feel you sure it's still "okay to not be okay?"

hmu Philly You completely ignored the second half of their comment apparently lol. They said “it’s ok to not be ok, as long as you don’t give up.” I don’t think they’re trying to say it’s ok to go shoot up a school. They’re saying that feeling sad or unhappy is not a bad thing, as long as you believe that things will turn out ok eventually. Now please leave, since you ruined a perfectly good comment with your toxicity.
I really wanna give you a hug right now🥺
You’re not alone! I know how your feeling ❤️
1. Get a sturdy fern
2.Give it a name “Leroy”
3.Take a single seed of it every day for two months
4.After two months take all Leroys seed and scatter it in your back yard randomly
5.wait for new ferns
6. Plant Leroy with his new family
7. Call Leroy papa Leroy l
8. Continue scattering all seeds
9. Sell ferns as cloak merch
10. Sell all ferns
11. Realize the point of this
12. Repeat
13. Don’t want to continue planting ferns
14. Revisit the first game you ever played.
Wow that actually sounds smart
Yos I'll do
I know that Cloak is meant to be plain clothing without many emblems/pictures and stuff, but I wish it had more on it. Even if they just made some cool looking geometric patterns or some shit.

I love how you’re so real, I think it’s makes us feel like we aren’t alone with how we feel as well
Respect your feelings, talk about them. Life is a puzzle, and this bored feeling is a part of it. No one has everything figured out one hundred percent of the time.

I always see you in other comments. And, I'm gonna be completely honest. That's was the most beautiful short sentence I have seen in a long time. Please don't change. Keep being awesome:D
👍
Helena Rosno Fuck that was deep
Amen
There are things in life we don't understand. The sudden bouts of unease and loss of direction can strike at anytime and will hit anyone. It can happen to the young, the old, the simple and complex, to the carefree and doubtful. It comes and goes but the memory will stay, like an imaginary chill clinging to your spine. It's up to the person whether the memory haunts or is forgotten
Mark, you care soo much about total strangers you will do anything to make the world great. That's what I love about you. That's what millions of strangers love about you. You are an amazing person. It's perfectly ok to feel down. Everyone does. I do. But you make us happy. And if rambling makes you happy, do it. If making videos make you happy, do it. Anything that makes you happy, do it. Me and many others (I'm sure) will be happy that you're happy. So find your joy, even if your just a little down, I want you to be the happiest you can! Love you sooo much. Hope you have a wonderful, amazing, great day!💖💖💖
My 10 yr. old son watches your videos all the time and I was like who is this guy? He replied it's Markiplier mom; he's funny. I watched with him and laughed as well but also watched some of your more serious vids it's amazing what you do. I also believe that just about anyone or everyone wants to do more to help make our world a better place to live. It can be hard on making decisions what could be more helpful or joyful to the populace that is culture or population. Turning 30 is just another number but I do understand the need to want to do more than what you're doing now. Stay positive, stay ambitious and you'll find your goal that you want to reach eventually.
Amen to that.
Well said
Dude that’s good
I say this with the upmost sincerity, I think your ambition has burned you out to an extent. I'm not saying to stop being you, not at all. You're so focused on "[your] future, your friend's future, humanity's future," etc. and there's nothing wrong with preparing for the future, but I think you're so set on what's going to happen tomorrow or what your 30s are going to be defined by, that you feel like today is passing you by which makes you feel glum.
I've had concerns similar to yours to where it nearly consumed me and the only thing I could think about was the future and what I was going to do. It was miserable because I couldn't enjoy being in the now. My mom still tells me now to take life one day at a time. Nothing wrong in preparing for the future, but don't spend your life worried or stuck thinking about it. Enjoy your life, man. You've got friends, family, and pets that love you dearly, and they wouldn't want you to feel down because you're thinking about the future of everyone. Enjoy your life. Don't feel that you have to "define" your 30s or any other age. Life is different for everyone. I'm still trying to figure out mine. Don't whittle your's away trying to figure it out for everyone else.
Cometstarlight, holy cow. That was exactly what I was thinking of saying. Well put!
Hopefully Markiplier saw that.
WOW, I've been through the same thing, though sometimes I get scared of the future. Well said.
This comment was on the dot for Mark I hope he sees this cause it would probably help him a lot
Dont wanna be cruel but he probably will never read your comment,cause most famous youtubers never read comments...
To this comment I say...GOT DAMN THAT WAS GOOD WRITING
One person does not change the world. One person inspires the world to change.
Very true.
👏👏
So true
But that one person inspires it so they did change the world by getting others to help with it.
@@theimmortalsuperbeing549 Exactly.
I just want to hug you and show you how much you influence people!!
Same. I failed my last exam and have to leave the nursing program. Now, I have to wait a semester to either go back or do something else. It's ok to be feeling down as long as you figure it out and pick yourself back up. I would donate my time if I were you to those people less fortunate. It's the holidays and families don't have food for Thanksgiving, older people are lonely in the nursing home, people are forced to stay in the hospital during the holidays because of unforseen events. It feels good to help and make a difference. You make a difference indirectly for people and that's the incredible thing about youtube. We are all searching for purpose. I understand you man. We will figure it out and hopefully find our purpose. Much love man
Mark, this melancholy feeling is probably because you’re a little stressed. You just launched cloak and you’re having fun on the channel and all but because you’re putting out so much content so fast that you’re now subconsciously preparing for the future. And the more you think of the future, the more scenarios you create for yourself, and overall you’re just over stressing yourself. And also, slow down! I know you stated that you were bored and you wanna do more and more but the more you do now, the less you have later, and eventually, you’ll run out of things to do and you’ll get bored again. All you should do know is take like a week long break, chill out, have fun with Chica, sleep in, and discover new music. Mark, you’re amazing and you have inspired me and many other people. Don’t worry, you’re fine. Now relax and chill out.
Mark....
Trust me that you have helped people more than you think. I for one almost did something that would have removed me from this world. But I didn’t because you ,Jack, and others that have helped get through some situations in my life, you and others are the reason why I choose to stay here any longer ☺️. I can only thank you, and remind you of the positive affects your actions have on others.
Glad to know you're still with us 👍
That is exactly what I'm going through. I'm glad I'm not the only one
Believe me we the people who have problems feel at least a bit better with markiplier
Me too. I got really depressed and scared last year that I would get too broken to think for myself and that I would’ve ended it. I hated being sad and I hated that I would ever think like that, so whenever I would start to cry I would just watch their videos and it would bring me back up. They have really helped me and I probrably wouldn’t be here with out them.
Dude, same. I couldn't have worded it better
Mark: “sorry for waking you”
Me using this to help me sleep: “well yes but actually no”
I know how you feel. I turn 30 next month and o constantly get the feeling that my 20 were wasted and I didn't do enough or do everything I thought I would have accomplished by now and it's always feeling like I'm driving down the road and reaching the end too fast and I'm not getting to enjoy the ride there.
Your such an inspiring person and with your personality and your passion for doing things and helping people your almost magnetic. When I first saw your videos I was kinda drawn to you and you make me want to be a better person. I think you do that to a lot of people and you help far more people than your aware of.
Your such a driven person and I know whatever you do and wherever you go whether you fail or succeed you will. e amazing at it either way.
I subsribed!
I just wanna a let you know that you are still young! Do what you want, I subbed to you.❤️
FURRY!
@@herbertweiner8055damn dude, ya caught me. I guess now no one is going to want to watch me dry hump a dude dressed like a minecraft pig on my tik tok account. I guess I should have used my snapchat photo...
I think many of us 30-year-olds feel like our 20's were wasted...but I know that through my 20's...I was content and happy. I may feel like I could have done more, but at the same time...I was just happy. If that makes sense.
I fucking love Mark, he's so incredibly sincere
Maybe start a new project? A bigger one then "Who killed Markiplier". Maybe a movie? Something that you think is important, and something that you think will inspire others. Maybe try different art forms, maybe make a short film that doesn't revolve around the Markiplier universe. Or even, maybe go on a trip to somewhere you've never been before, if you can, go explore the rare parts of earth. The world is a big place, and has so much to offer.
It's all up to you Mark, but thanks for what you've given us so far. Whatever you do will be great because you are you.
That would be pretty dope, but I think he's referring to the more chairitable aspect of it.
Or maybe that's a pretty dope idea, who tf knows.
At any rate, he'll get better. He tends to always bounce back eventually.
Amen.
Or maybe accept the life have down and up feelings moments and nothing mean about realizing the life
It's a good thought. We should start something to help him get money for stuff like that. Unfortunately I wouldn't be much help but I have faith it the other 2 million people on here.
I would agree, Serious projects always got me out of sadness loops. And then back into them.
You should go back to doing charity stuff again. You always had this fire and passion when you were making content based around helping others. In fact you could probably start your own charity to fight what you believe is the biggest problem in this world. Personally I would love too see you do something for the homeless, or Red Cross because they are helping the people in California that have now become homeless.
Oh my god and he did!!
Are you referring to the November fires that destroyed Paradise, some of Magalia and Concow?
Hi Mark, it's okay to feel that way, it happens to all of us and more recently it's happened to me because I feel like my career hasnt advanced where I'd like it to be, because I would like to also leave a positive change in the world. Part of the problem that I found out is that you should not compare yourself to people, and how they've impacted the world as opposed to you. The fact that all 22 million of us love you and support you, is proof that you are doing more than enough for the world, and always trust us to push you forward with whatever we can offer. We are here for each other, as humans and roommates on this small planet.
It blows my mind that this man spends so much time doing and giving and being the best kind of human to look up to, and he still wishes he could do more. That's not something you see very often. It's such an admirable quality. But, it is also a damaging one. I look up to Mark so much. He's the kind of person I want to be someday. He is one of my driving forces. And it makes me wonder: If Mark has done all of this and still wants more, than what more can I be doing? What kind of change can I bring about? Because I also wish to do good and to leave more than I take. Hopefully, me, Mark, and anyone else feeling this way will soon find their purpose. Maybe soon, we will live up to our full potential...
Agreed
I hear ya
I feel like mark too
I want to do more to but only im 11
Mark you’ve done some much and will do some much more for the world. It’s the right thing to do to think and ponder where to go from here. Whatever you decide, wherever things go, remember that all your fans (your family) has your back the whole way. Go make the world a better place!!! No matter what, Charity Live-streams, regular videos, cool sketches, something incredible no one has ever done before, we will help you reach your dreams.
This is so sweet
I have to say Mark, I know exactly how you feel. New year's eve 1998 my dad died. I was 12. 10 years later I felt really down, and didn't even connect the dots. Obviously I feel down every year. Then this year it was 20 years (I'm not old, not old! 32 is not old dammit). And it has hit me so hard, and again more subconsciously. I started to question everything in the world. I started avoiding facebook and the news because of the depressing stories everywhere. And more importantly I wish I could do more to help those in need. And it's saddens me so much that I can't. But your videos, they have been a constant bright spot. Your infectious enthusiasm, the raging and the laughs. The jump scares and the honesty. Every single one has had me laughing, crying and just feeling better knowing that there are people like you out there. So thank you. Because of you, I have decided to give streaming a try as a way to talk through random things, whether people are there listening or not, it's an outlet. Thank you for just being you
Maybe sometime you need some rest mark take your time.

it’s 4 am where i am and i was feeling so so down and idk what i was looking for but i was just randomly scrolling on and on through vlogs of marks looking for a fun one to distract me but this one popped up and for whatever reason i felt so compelled to watch it and i’m so glad i did. idk how i didn’t see this when it came out but i’m glad i didn’t cause i definitely needed it more now. ignoring my issues won’t make them go away, but attempting to process what’s getting me down and why will help even slightly. just watching this and being able to identify with so much of what you said in this lifted me up a bit and definitely made me tear up. idk dude. he’s been there for me for like idek five years now?? and i’ve always leaned on him, and i know he leans on us. everything about this just felt like i was meant to find it at this moment right now. cause this is EXACTLY how i’m feeling. and i didn’t and still really don’t know how to deal. even him saying to get some sleep just made me feel so connected like he was right there telling me that since it’s so late and i can’t sleep cause my mind is constantly racing right now. i don’t know... thank you though even though i know no one will see this. this is my own little ramble, thank you for reminding me i need to do this at times.
Mark, it's okay. Sometimes you just feel sad for no reason, and that's perfectly fine. We're all here for you, and we'll be here when you need support.

What your thinking mark isn't wrong at all, in fact I've been thinking the same thing, we all want to be and mean something even after we do alot, the world is messed up and there's so much more we can do to better it, keep doing what your doing and try to do more if that's what you truly want and no matter what, we will support you

Depression can creep on upon anyone mark. It can come in waves. These waves can be short, long, really frequent, or really delayed.
From what I/we recall, you've gone through a lot this year, starting a clothing brand, losing loved ones, doing things that most people wouldn't even believe they would be able to do in their life time. You move people, more then you think. And those people will move you back. But sometimes, despite all the good, and the bad that happens. Depression will always find a way to sneak up on you, and put a dark cloud over your head. It makes you feel like you have a sense of continued dread over you. Not so much that you'd be worried for your safety or someone else's safety. But more along the lines of you being overly careful about what actions you end up doing which, if left unchecked. These actions will start running your life, more then you want them to. You gotta try your damnedest to manage your life and what you wish to do, and even what you wish to feel. If you're missing something, try to achieve it.
Now... With all that being said. I know you want to go out and do more mark, and by all means go for it. But be warned. I've seen people try to go forward, go beyond youtube. And some of those people are quite successful, and others aren't. Not saying you wouldn't be, its pretty clear that you are extremely successful with how you've built yourself and your channel. It's just. "WE" don't want to watch you go down a road that you're not ready to handle.
You might not be able to handle it. Hell, you might BE able to handle it, but it might become a bit to much later on. It all depends on whether or not you're ready for that change.
Whatever you wish to do mark. Make sure you think it over first before doing it. We will support you throughout the whole journey. It's just we also don't want to watch you fall off halfway through either, because you weren't ready. Sure, failing is a learn experience. But failing continuously isn't something you would want to do. Which is what I/a lot of use fear would happen to you... We don't want to see you become demotivated, to the point where you stop trying, and give up. Hopefully, that won't ever happen.
Regardless. Best of luck though with everything. You changed a lot since I/a lot of us have found you. From the first time I found you steaming SCP-087b to now. You've changed and grown a massive fuckton. *Aside from height I guess :P* And I sure the hell hope you continue to grow and expand to as many people as possible, to leave your "mark" in everyone's heart and so forth.
Ah, but remember, those “waves” are one option. There is the clinical depression in which the depression is permanent.
@@Cedalion you can have both. I do.
@Sophocles SHOUTS!!!!!! You're not rly helping here

Mark, you always make me feel like there's more I could achieve in life but I could never know what. Just being here and watching your videos brings all sorts of good emotions. Even when you say you're a little down you let "us" know and try to sort it out with "us".
UA-cam doesn't have a lot of Creators like you these days I feel. More people are making content for the sake of making content and that's perfectly fine, It's great. But you, you seem like you make videos to better the lives of all of us. You inspire us to do our best.
I'm watching this at 3:30 at night I'm so happy that I did. At night everyone sleeping so all you have is your own thought and you see things that you don't see in the day because the day is always occupied so night time is sometimes a great time think and reflect on your own thoughts and ideas. "Carpe Noctem 'Seize The Night.' "

@Markiplier According to psychology, a man/woman about to be in his 30s or in his 30s goes through what is called a "Mid-life Crisis". Basically it's everything you say, you look back at your life and think what to do want more. "Many middle-aged adults experience major life events that can cause a period of psychological stress or depression", you want and think you can do more which is good. But this might be an explanation to what you feel, but even if it wasn't as humans we want to be better people. You have potential and if you want to do more you do it! Good luck, have fun, and enjoy the ride that is life. (P.S If you do see this Hi)
Can you be more specific than "according to psychology"? Where did you get your information from.
since when 30 is middle age??
@@SangriaDracul its always been between 30-40. Did you think it was 50? Lol
Kayla Klopf i think the person is more focused on the crisis part. But im with you i thought it was 40s-50s
@@lokint9649
"According to the Oxford English Dictionary middle age is between 45 and 65: "The period between early adulthood and old age, usually considered as the years from about 45 to 65."
But then there's this other one:
"Is 30s middle aged?
Middle age begins in your mid-30s and ends in your late 50s, a new survey finds. According to a study, the average Briton believes that youth ends at 35 and old age begins at 58. In between - all 23 years - is your middle age."
Either way not 30...

Markiplier is a overpowered gag anime character. CONFIRMED
Mark is such an amazing person! He does so much work for charity it is unbelievable! Mark help many people without realising it, through his videos and also charity. He loves fans which is shown through countless videos of his and he is humble! He is also been able to inspire me unlike any other celebrity before! Mark ties in his personal experiences and really connects with his audience in every video, especially the vlogs. He is such a humble person... There are many reasons why I think that Mark is amazing but I can’t list them all in just one comment...
I understand what Mark is saying about wanting to do something and not just sitting around. How he loves new adventures, failure and doing something new, how he wants to change the world for the better. He wants to help many people.
I, personally feel the same about everything he said... How no matter how much you've done, you still want to do more and be occupied and change the world.
Mark, if you are reading this, I want you to know that many people completely relate to what you are saying. We all really appreciate you and we are all always here for you as you are always there for us. Thank you, Mark, for being the inspiration for 22 million people worldwide and making my day, every day!
Didnt read anything after the first sentence. But i 100% agree
I have to say that Markiplier is doing the best he can. He's down, and I feel pain hearing this. But, through him, he's made the world a better place. He does so much for the world. He's caring, and that's what makes him an awesome UA-cam star. I appreciate what he does, and one day I would like to meet him to say this to him. But for now, this comment will live in this video. But, I want to meet more people like him. Please feel better, Mark. Try to do as much as you can do that helps others. Get well.
I agree, he's a big inspiration to so many people.
i keep coming back to the serious vlogs because it feels good to just hear another voice sometimes and know that other people need to deal with this sort of thing
Just wanted to say.
If you need time. Then we’ll be happy to give you it.
It’s okay if you need time to recalibrate.
Your feelings are your own, so don’t worry about feeling bad for us!
So, If your unhappy, please remember, we’re here for you, and for a long time from now, we will be.
Also, a bigbigbigbigbigbigbigbigbigbig ect. Happy birthday.
Also, it’s not wrong that you don’t think everything is enough, everyone feels like that sometimes.
It’s okay if you need time off, just warn us, and just do it.
We all love ya mark,
And we’re right behind you if you wanna get out there, and help people, and be everything you want to be.
Everyone wants a better world.
And if you keep trying, it WILL mean something.
Love your work, keep being awesome.

Heya Gavyn Phillips,
...
Ima girl🙃
As a person who experienced a type of 'down' you're feeling right now, I can tell what it is, it's that there's nothing to keep a 'spark' there, nothing exciting and not meaning your life is boring, but it's just that... There's no real bad thing in your life, where everything is in perfect stasis but things outside are what really gives a 'spark', like hitting a rough patch in a relation-ship, or drama between friends, or even a love one gone. It's just that there's Lack Of anything interesting outside of that perfect stasis. I've gone threw it, and I got out of it by getting out there more making more friends online and offline, trying new hobbies helped my friend (how pointed out to me about this when I was going threw it).
Try to do more things, get out there and do More when you can handle and don't get anxiety from doing more. Just do more on Your time.
No

I think you need to take a little break, recharge and come back with fresh eyes and fresh thoughts. You’ve earned it.
Stefan Sharak I feel like that’s the opposite of what Mark should do. He feels like he isn’t doing enough and to fix that by doing nothing at all for a couple weeks seems like it would only agitate him more.
Hey whatever Mark wants to do. Let him do it. Just trying to help.
Mark, I think that you are looking in the wrong direction for happiness.
I, like you, am a 'go getter' and am always looking to the next thing to bring fulfillment and happiness in my life.
I have found that (when I am able to) living in the moment and taking true appreciation in what I already have, is the only path to lasting happiness.
You must look within to find inner peace. Looking to the next project or idea etc. will not bring a feeling of accomplishment and happiness that is lasting.
It took me an awful long time to figure that out and I constantly battle with the need of 'the next best thing'.
Perhaps saying this to you is my way of trying to recapture that same feeling of fulfillment that is found in complacency.
It is a constant struggle but one worth fighting. Good luck Mark...and I know as sure as the day is long I will need that same luck myself!
Cheers!
3b This is the comment he needs to see.
Yeah
@@karmadollie8063 Thank you Karma...Love the name btw!
I hope he sees this as well. I really hate to see (dare I say) a friend in pain.
I too have felt this same 'longing' for the next thing, but it always seemed end in depression because nothing really fills that emptiness inside.
People like myself need to look inside and appreciate what we already have to find true happiness.
I always seem to be in my head when i should be living in the moment.
Best regards Karma! Happy holidays!
3b I honestly couldn’t have said it better myself! I went to therapy just yesterday and my therapist said a lot of time with creators of any kind (I’m a writer) you always want to act on your next big idea and you push yourself and you critique and basically everything you said. So yeah, really hope mark sees your comment cause I’m sure a lot of people experience this and don’t even notice.
Oh, and mark. My therapist also mentioned Looking at the future can cause anxiety and looking at the past can cause depression. Sooo that may be something to keep in mind as well.
100% true :D
I get this feeling all the time when I finish a comic or story. I spend so much time putting my soul into these projects but then when I've accomplished the task and it's all sai and done...
I domt know what to do next. I dont know where to start again. I get like.... a 'victorious depression'.
When I get caught in these cycles mark, I usually buy a notebook. And I fill this book with ideas, my wishes my Hope's and dreams. And I fill the book until I cant fill it anymore... then I read it all front to back. And I choose one thing.
Maybe this could help you too mark. It helps me.... but remember that we are always going to be here and we will always be behind your efforts to change the world because believe me, we need more people like you who are out to make a difference.
Great story mark
This is a good message

I'm feeling pretty down, too. I have dreams and things I want to do that I just don't have access to yet. It feels like I want to do so much and nothing at all at the same time. I don't exactly know why, but it's just there. I can't stop thinking about sad things. However, I'm still here and I can still do what I want to do. You inspire so many, Mark. I love you for the positive impact that you've given to so many, including yourself. I constantly come back to you because you make me smile and laugh. I appreciate everything you've done. We love you very much Mark. ❤️
You feel whatever you want. You're a human too.

Sorry I didn't watch this earlier but I love you mark. Even if I said you do more than enough.. A lot of the times you will always have that feeling. What matters is what you do to keep that feeling distant. You may never feel like you have done enough.. But in reality you have made this community and helped so many people just with their own mental health. Do you know how many lives you've saved just by saying it will be ok in the camera? I'm one of them. You are a great man just keep doing what you're doing and anything else that keeps that feeling distant and you'll have a happy life.
Don't feel down mark be proud of what you've achieved you've made so many people happy and you're gonna make more happy and slowly change the world we love you mark keep it up buddy i can't get enough of your content
He isnt down that he didnt do something he is down because he needs to do something he dosent want to sit around he wants to change the world he is worried about the future
Without feeling sad, you cannot feel happy. These periods will happen, no person can genuinely say they are happy if they have never suffered
he need to do what you what
"just cheer up bud" you can't just cheer up
B4shar your right.
it's 5:57am. im currently sitting in the same spot ive been in for eleven months. all the days are the same. i barely leave the house or my bed. im stuck in my own unmotivated mind, stuck in learned helplessness. I can't make myself do productive things. im wasting my life and life is stuck right now in this pandemic.
this video made me see where I want to be in the future once im past this but where I could be if only i help myself and change my own mind. I keep waiting for the pandemic to end to say ill be back being successful but I can reframe my mind to make the days matter. im super stubborn and it's easier said than done, but maybe I can do it.
I need my motivation back
I think we are sick of this pandemic wish it was over already
I don’t know what to say.
But i’m going to say it short and simple, we all love you.
Sup Ralsei you’re my favorite character (besides Lancer).
I feel like out of all these long messages this one might be the best and share all our opinions.
Yup
*Happiness isn’t a constant, would be really weird if someone was only happy all the time. And you have no idea how you impact people do you? Bringing smiles and causing laughter puts such a positive effect on someone. With every video you put someone into a positive feeling and that changes their day and therefore changing other peoples day, which ultimately has a positive impact on the world. You have no clue how much you actually do. 💙*
RainbowUnicorn Queen how do I send this to markiplier personally and like this 100 times over again and also highlight it by myself this is literally so important

I'm not a psychologist. I don't claim to be. But I have spent a lot of time working with them and something I am hearing in this and that I have heard from you before, Mark, is concerning to me. You speak a lot about wanting to leave a change on the world which is a good goal tied intrinsically to human nature, but I worry about the lense you are seeing it through. I don't know that you will ever see this comment but to anyone struggling with something similar I encourage you to try and view the impact of your current contributions.
Mark, you may feel you haven't changed the world because your worldview feels largely the same, but you absolutely have. All the young people who have found peace and joy in your content while struggling with anxiety and depression, for example. To them? You changed the world. To some of them you gave them the world again when all they saw was darkness that no one else could shed a light on. Those young people will go on to have successful lives and families should they choose and you contributed to making that possible.
All your charity streams have helped so many. Not only do they raise money, but they inspire others to give and continue to do so. You play a large part in supporting organizations that do so much good in the world. Getting their message out and inspiring people to give.
I could go on but this is already getting long. My main point is that you don't need to and honestly shouldn't try to view your contributions to the world by how you have shaped your own worldview. It is rarely satisfying and you will always see more to do than you have done because you have a kind heart that wants to help. I encourage you to take a moment, maybe once a week, and try to think of the ripple effect your accomplishments have to help others. When I struggled with this I set a goal for myself and for a few months I would go once a week and volunteer at a donation center somewhere in my community. While I was there I would try to think of all the good each package I made could do. It made everything feel so much more special and helped me to see those positives in my everyday life.
Whatever works for you, to anyone who can find this helpful, merely being alive and waking up today has created so many opportunities that the world wouldn't have had if you hadn't. Everything you do, big or small, can change the world. Helping just one person, even if it is you, may not fix all the problems across the globe but for that person you may have just given them the world and that is beautiful.
Replying to get this comment up. Mark absolutely needs to see this. I agree with everything you say and applaud you.
I have read the whole thing and I hate reading so go like read and subscribe
Mark read this too
Maybe this feeling was part of the inspiration for Unus Annus

I feel the exact same way about my life. I feel like I'm stuck in the sane everyday cycle, but I've tried to focus on the little differences snd focus on them so that the days don't start to mesh together like they used to. I used to forget so much because everyday felt like i was a broken record stuck on replay, seeing and doing the exact same thing over and over, but i always try to put things into perspective. I always think about what i want my life to mean and it sucks when my first thought is that "it means nothing" and yes it means nothing now but i want it to mean something for at least the pepple i love. I want a meaning in my life and i want to find it but i just have to sit and wait to find what that entails anf what that means for me further down the line, but i havs to focus on the present right now. I have to focus on the fact that i am important, which is probably why my favorite quote from mark is "you are important"
Wow i just made a rant comment here...my bad
It's ok i make rate comments to
Me too. With school and everything I feel like everything is the same thing over and over. But when ever I try changing the "cycle" it always still feels the same.
By feeling this way you can make things better because without feeling this way you can't really get past that feeling. Idk if that made sense or not but I hope that I made someone's day/night ^_^
I feel the same, but my sense of time makes it odd. Sometimes a week feels like it's been 2 weeks or a week feels like a few days or a year feels like a few months. I normally focus on the things I do in certain classes like playing Quizletlive In English and my team almost always winning or laughing at joke from my history teacher or someone in class. During the weekends I focus on what happens, pet tom & jerry (2 calico cats at my ex-stepdads house) or maybe I Finally hatched a shiny, albino or melan Pokemon on pokefarm.
Everyone deals with feeling down differently, mine is focusing on some good things that happened.
Aww I do too so you don’t have to worry
It's perfectly okay to feel down, Mark.
Don't push yourself too hard to do more than you already do.
Change the world? Dude! mark, you are a 22M subscribed to UA-cam, who raises money for charity, inspires laughter and happiness to those who watch and are lots of peoples' personal heroes, *my* hero, you have done so much to change the world, don't ever doubt that you are making a difference, ever. You are my, and perhaps all other comenter's heroes, as well as most people who watch your videos. Never change.
*Ever*
Agreed man, Mark you have done so much for over 20 million people in the world, what you do helps make people happy and help raise so much money for things that are important in the world like charity's. So please don't ever change Mark.
Agreed!!!
It's okay thanos pewdiepie
👍🏻
I think some big gamers are the only people that yet didn't have drama like Mike or jack
This video helped me a lot, I’ve been going through the same situation and I really feel stuck right now. Thank you mark and thank you for everything you have helped me through the past 6 years I’ve watched you and these type of videos really are a big thing that keeps me here, keep it up man, keep your head up because you’re the reason a lot of us do.
Mark, you have done so much great already in this world! With this video alone, you inspire people to do something to better the world.
You can do everything, if you want to achieve great things, pursue them! We all believe in you!
You have influenced over 20 million people with your funny and happy personality and your goals to make the world a better place.
You give people the courage to pursue their dreams, or even just showing people that big dreams and goals are something that one does not need to be embarrassed about and where pursuing it is not meaningless.
same^
I feel honored to hear your thoughts no matter if they’re sad, happy, confusing. No matter what emotion you have and show in these videos, in a way I can feel what you feel and relate to what you say on a personal level. Idk, it makes me feel more connected to you not only as just a viewer or a fan or supporter, but just another human being with the same emotions and thoughts. Or I’m just crazy 👌🏻
This title is scaring me
Edit 3 (I want it up here): Mark don’t feel bad about rambling. We’re the ones who came to this video to listen. We are all here for you, and I would legit listen to 24 hours of you talking (not all at once, but I’d break it down).
Edit: I haven’t even watched the whole thing, but Mark we’re here for you!!!
Edit 2: I’m not going to say thanks for the likes, because this comment isn’t about the likes. I will say however, I am glad so many people agree. Mark is a wonderful person and he has given us all so much.

You were happy? My face was sad that he wasn’t feeling it
@@randomandroid4227 that's not what he meant. Marks videos in general make us happy. Not this one though.

Mark,I know you wanna inspire people and make something great with what you have but you have to see that..you are a person,and we all care about you in our very own ways,we all believe that one day you'll do something so great and help out this world.
I find it great that you share your own feelings with us,I just wanna connect here and say I've had this same situation.
Your surrounded by happiness and you're happy yourself,but sometimes sadness or despair gets the best of us.
Just know that no matter what we will all be here to support,love,and care for you.
~Love you Mark,hope you feel better~
❤Always have hope❤
Sorry,I just had to add something else.
Mark,you give so much yet you feel like it's so little.
You've given us plenty,but here you are giving us more and more everyday.
To be honest,I feel bad that I'm not doing something to support you,and I'm sure alot of us feel the same way.
Love is a powerful thing,and you've given it to such a big audience of people.
Please,don't push yourself too hard.
We can wait as long as forever for your great plan to make something great.
I'll never leave you behind Mark,just know that.
Just imagine how many lives you've changed just be posting tweets,or pictures,and even videos! Imagine all the frowns you turned into happy bright smiles everyday,you mean so much to world and everyone around you.
~Once again,I love you Mark~
❤❤
Dude what a great speech to mark
It indeedly is a great speech to mark tbh
Very well said.
@Angie Reed thank you
@@dylanhill9150 thanks so much~
I dont watch Markiplier much, but i felt like i could relate soo much to this and i'm only 17. I've been feeling this kind of thing lately which is actually affecting my daily life alot. But massive respect to you for sharing this, i've had the notifications on but i only watch the videos where i feel like to watch. Watching this all really just always reminds me on how much life i have and i got alot to live and i can do something in the coming future to change myself and change the world and make it a better place and inspire other's to do the same
I am only year younger than you and i relate to that.Spooky.
Im 17 as well, and can relate. But i am so very thankful for mark
@@pilkkimies The part about "Changing the world and inspiring other's to do the same" and "Something is missing" really got me, considering the fact that i'm 17 and i haven't done shit in my life. Hah, it's kind of fair for me to think like that because i wanna do this all too, be a content creator(i've already started it) & Inspire other's to change the world.
Wonderfully expressed Divasees. My input is something I hope that you take to heart as well if it applies. Life is a wonderful gift that needs daily exploration of everything and anything. Cheers my friend.
@@Divasees thank you now i realised that i need a hobby, but i am rather too lazy or have no time for that :(
I know I'm a couple months late, but I just wanted to say that you're such a great person, Mark. You bring so many people so much joy, I admire your charity work, and I'm really grateful for your videos. I'm not always feeling, well, happy. And whenever I get really down, one of my favorite things to do to cheer myself up is to watch some of your videos. Your funny ones for a good laugh or some your deeper, more meaningful ones to put a smile on my face. You never fail to make me feel better, even when life is really difficult and heavy. I know you don't know me, and that I'm just another person in this comment section, and that you may not even see this, but I just wanted you to know how much I, and so many other people, appreciate you. Thank you so much, for everything that you do. And I really hope that now, a couple months after you posted this video, that you're feeling much happier.
