I do understand what your asking. Like you put on this facade that your okay and everything smooth sailing but internally you feel the opposite and feel out of control.
At times. Realising that it is very uncomfortable doing that, learning to express what is really going on inside of me without judging myself or others. Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙏
I did not try to fit into society. I was different. The culture is corrupt, so trying to be like them is to be corrupt oneself. It is lonely, but there are groups that one can join where one has a common interest. In those groups, I do not have everything in common.
No. You have to conform to society to network and make money, what you do on your own time with that money you don’t have to wear a mask. You can do anything you want outside of work as long as you aren’t breaking any laws. You imprisoned yourself and got too caught up in the hustle culture and now you’re having a breakdown. The key to life is balance, you pushed yourself to the edge and now look at you. You’re gonna get tired of this too. Find balance, be productive and have fun. Stability is key sitting at a lake and crying about your life is something you can do on the weekends. You can become a homeless nomad if you want but at your age I wouldn’t recommend it, that’s something you do in or right out of college not when you’re super old af
I hear you brother. As a person who hardly drink and doesn't care much about baseball or football, I was never able to find my group of guys, but at least I have never pretended to be someone I am not. Merry Christmas to you and your family
In my experience I find that being fully authentic all the time is just too much for most people. I think there is a tight rope to be walked between being centered in your authentic self and recognizing how to filter yourself in a way that's relatable to the people you are interacting with. But from a place of centered power and not from trying to pander and please people, or impress them.
@@HealthCoresmeditation is a great activity, to take breqks, mental breaks and prep for stressful situations. Life can be very hyper competitive, intense and so. Always appreciate your content and insights 🙏👍
I can totally relate. I've spent too many years pretending to be someone I wasn't just to fit in and was miserable in the process. Finally, in my late 40's, I've decided to stop pretending and just embrace who I genuinely am. Feels lonely at times, but I feel happier and freer than ever. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. Wishing you a wonderful New Year ahead!
Yes. Many people out here seeking the same path. I've been in great pain over the last few years. I see others in even greater pain, and I feel guilty because my problems are trivial. I listen to peoples stories and try to learn from them all.
Mate, 3 mins into watching your video… I see you’re real, authentic, friendly, honest and a good person… enjoying your peace in this beautiful scenery… enjoy fishing, the coffee and exploring your mind…. Keep it simple keep enjoying life and treat yourself with the freedom and quietness and being alive ✌🏼
Thank you so much for sharing this....thank you for your bravery....I am happy you are able to be your true self....this video is so empowering and needed. Thank you.... You are speaking the truth....I love it thank you
My dad died broken and broke so my challenge is to die broke but not broken! I have walked away from many financial opportunities because the people with money despise the people without and women only value men with money and artificial value. I know who I am and I am one of the real humans in this realm I care for those that the populace don't care for and I always try to follow the truth and do what is right which usually is to my detriment. Your not dissimilar to many of us we are just spaced out and spread out amongst the many billions of people alive. I'm glad I found you because you amplify who I am this is the way my friend it is a thankless existence that is what makes you stronger. Keep doing what your doing and know we are here in the darkness casting our small light and making a difference without anyone knowing.
I’ve been going through the same spiritual journey that you’re going through. For so long, I’ve tried to be someone that other people wanted me to be, and I lost myself in the process. Now, I’m trying to be myself again. It can be scary because part of me wants other people to like me. But another part of me wants to like myself and I can’t like myself if I’m always crushing myself to be the person other people want me to be.
Very young children are authentic. They are who they are, and they say what they really think. But as we get older, we learn to change ourselves to be what other people want us to be, so that we can fit in better. But we still long to be our authentic selves, to be whole again. The last several years, I’ve also done a lot of solo camping trips, and I also run every day. Running is a great way to deal with stress, anxiety, frustration, anger and depression. I’ve learned to love myself more too. I used to think I was worthless and that only my success and my image mattered. I was wrong. I was lied to and I lied to myself. Human life, human health and human bodies are the most valuable things in the world. Everything else is secondary. I live in Northern California. It sounds like you live in SoCal. I would love to meet up with you one day. You’re right. This is a lonely path sometimes. But it’s a path that I think a lot of people want to go on, but are afraid to because they’re longing for outside validation and approval. That’s what I used to do too, but the truth is, you can’t make people like you. But we can all learn to like and to love ourselves.
Kids are authentic to themselves because they usually don't have to put on a face to survive. Us adults do and when we do it long enough we started losing ourselves. Never too late to find ourselves. That's why I do what I do. Yeh would be cool to meet up for coffee one day. Stay true to yourself bro.
Hello ..been binge watching because of your transparency...your voicing for many who are feeling the very same way but haven't had the courage to tell anyone...until.they crash and burnout...Bravo...THIS is great REAL.LIFE sharing
Hey man, thanks for making this video. You inspired me to open up about my true self even more and I even made a video inspired by this on my channel. I really want to thank you because I heavily resonated to every single thing you said. I spent so much of my life, suppressing every true self about myself deep down, to project a specific image into this world to mask my insecurities and deeper issues. And I would let everyone's words get to me, causing me to become anxious about the world and to hide all the deeper issues of me and showing only the "strong" and "smart" personality of me so that I don't get judged. I was TERRIFIED of being judged by the world because it would always lead me into a deep spiral of shame and hatred. This year, my new year's resolution is to be myself and to not let this world get to me too much anymore and to be brutally honest about how i'm feeling and finding better outlets for my emotions. And to disconnect with the internet a bit more, to connect with the real world.
Hey man I am so glad that I can help you in the healing and self discovery process. It's great to let it all out isn't it. Please share the video with me and the world so that we could all feel better and know that it's OK to start being ourselves and love ourselves for the true selves that we are. Much love brother!
Excellent talk! You speak from the heart and I wish more would do the same. Sometimes it's not just what is said, but rather HOW it is said that makes an impact on someone. Thank you.
It's difficult but at the same time easy to talk about this after we spent a lifetime of struggles to try to overcome this. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I fucking love you man!!!! You're saying everything I'm feeling; I'm so done with society (not this world, Gods world is beautiful 🙏) The world man created is too fucked up 😞
Thanks for your support. It's hard taking of that mask but a liberating act in itself. We can finally be comfortable with ourselves and live life our way. Just keep doing it your way!
Connected....with 'Who you really are'... and the peace felt in that space...is the gift from the years of tension between the poles ... whilst conforming. Never 'alone' Brotherman. All is ONE. Your shares in truthful vulnerability are brilliant and super valuable. Thank you for your channel. And one thing ...your Miss America impersonation is absolutely superb. Many many ways to live authentically and provide for self and family. This channel is Great.
I been spending too many years mastering that Miss America wave. That's what years of corporate does to you. Nice seeing you again and Merry Christmas!
@@HealthCores good seeing you again also. That Miss America wave with face could even be a superpower! Imagine using it and feeling Nothing negative. Actually having fun playing a game that You are in control of. Where you know that you are laughing at it because you Know who you are and you care nothing for the game. Thank you for the Xmas wishes. Hope 2025 is a brilliant year for you! Keep posting your vids please....many many people suffer out there and you are setting an excellent example of how to be honest, vulnerable and authentic with this channel. You are absolutely correct.....takes Courage and Strength. Blessings
Dec 25th in my bed in São Paulo Brazil the largest city in Latin America feeling heartbroken on a gloomy afternoon. Well someone I am so in love with is at the beach with someone else having the time of his life I guess ! However listening to you brings some sort of comfort I do feel I am not alone right ? I am 49 year old man I am tired of pretending to be happy just to fit in ! YOU ARE SO BRAVE SO BRAVE !! First time I watch a video of an ASIAN BRAVE MAN being so pure so truthful.
I used to spend my holidays alone at home or at a bar lonely wondering if there's someone out there for me. Years later I have a happy family. Don't lose hope my friend just need the right timing ❤️
I'm also an Asian man around your age. I moved to the Mojave Desert from Los Angeles, and it's the best thing i've ever done for myself and mental health. I'm also in the southern Sierra Nevadas. Your backdrops remind me of near where I live.
I am a big fan of the Sierras. Planning a backpacking trip next summer. I am not a big fan of LA noise and traffic either. Enjoy the peace and quiet bro. Merry Christmas.
Great channel, feels like youre describing me with the lonely feelings and stuff, its so calming to hear you talk. Watching from the uk 🇬🇧 here, i love fishing too and being in the peacefulness of nature.
I understand you, if you talk real to someone at work it’s as people don’t really want to listen, and u have to be positive, smiling, productive, and can’t say no at work. My job is toxic, have a family, but done with working and life , family drains you, paid my morgage, but bills still to pay
I recently moved from my home town in nz to brisbne aus. I left behind nearly everyone to gain opportunities. The hardest thing is finding real connections with good people. I'm a Christian and love Jesus so going and drinking with workmates sounds awful. It can be a lonely journey but God is always with me. Thanks for the video
The American “dream” is about consuming to create a lifestyle that is empty… it’s a merry go round to keep you distracted from being a genuine human being. You have great critical thinking skills. A philosopher. Your words are sharp like a knife. When you meet others like you… they are out there.. you will know you are not alone. ❤
I am in the same journey, and definitely my spiritual awakening helped to understand the importance of being true to themselves. I follow you and Dr Goobie, both of you are touching thousands of souls just by speaking your truth. And this is the real greatness
Being authentic and connecting with others through shared experiences is such a powerful way to grow and inspire. The impact of speaking truth truly makes the world feel a little more connected. Keep embracing your journey. Merry Christmas!
For a Sigma INFJ myself, the world is not perfect, and so with the people, it is the Sigma world who want to be idealist, visionary, and practical on task and on selective of friends. It is the Sigma world to test the water, the depth of the water, the hot or the cool water, as people changes perspective on every stages of age even for the same person we knew for a long time. When we see or study the murder cases, or suicide cases, which is to harm people or self harm, it is age at that particular timing. It does not happen when we all are a newly born infant. Therefore, what clicks or what does not, it still depends on the brain when to open up, in other words, we grow and replace cells all over the body everyday, that what kind of cells do we want to build up and are accumulating until we loop the memory without improvement or without build up future better improved memory. When we all at 80s, you will see today's conversation or comments become the memory, history as well as for the future. Though we use history, but memory which is much more worthwhile to create than the history. So are we going to create a better memory or are we just hang out everywhere in youtube. Hahaha. 👍♥️
Don't underestimate the benefits of solitude, there is a fast difference between loneliness and being alone through choice. You are never alone sitting in nature observing the world. Much of happiness is about letting things go and finding peace and substance in your life. The young fear solitude but the more mature revel in solitude. I now avoid people when I can, but when I encounter them I am pleasant and friendly but then I move on. There are to many people who have unresolved issues and bring toxicity in to the mix. Stress can be other people with their drama and emotional issues. Some people are great others are hell.
I tend to be bluntly open and honest at the school I work at, but all it's gotten is me in trouble with the principal ! Gonna try and be quieter and a bit more subserviant when we go back in two weeks. Wish me Luck and oh, Merry Christmas !
That's brave of you. I was never vocal until later in my adulthood. But I am still reserved and very political and it might not always be a good thing.
Thank you for the videos, man! I'm definitely sharing them with people I know! Merry Christmas to you and your family! I might need to go back to a 9-5 job because I'm dealing with toxic abuse from my parents. I have to put on a happy face to avoid being blamed, even though I’m planning everything. Unfortunately, they don't care about me, just my money.
Sorry to hear you gotta deal with the chaos man. Yeh we all have to do whatever it takes to survive. Whether that's keeping grinding or pretending to be someone else. But hopefuly 1 day we can take off the mask and be ourselves and live the way we want. Keep at it bro and Merry Christmas!
I used to feel like that too. Hung out at some bar alone. But I am lucky that I don't need to do that anymore. I hope you will soon find people that you could celebrate the holidays with. Happy New Year!
Oh man, we have a lot in common. I also never found my place anywhere and struggled to fit in with anyone just out of loneliness. By the way, baggy clothes officially is back in.
Loneliness made us hangout with the wrong crowd sometimes. I have seen my old boys ended up in trouble with the law. That could have been us man. I am just happy to be me now.
@ haha yea, fortunately I was too nerdy to fit in. My dad has sever mental disorder, he is schizphrenic, so Istill looked for ideals of being a man, like honor courage loyalty things i instead found through martial arts and military. But if I wasnt such a quiet nerdy kid, I would have completely gone down the wrong path.
@@JeffreyPham79 Man that sounds like my family. We have a history of mental illness and addiction. My grandpa hung himself after years of addiction. We need to be careful as they say it's genetics. Just need to play the cards they dealt us the best we could bro.
@@HealthCores oh wow. Someone in my dad’s side also unalived themself with gas and fire, a horrific story. And another just drank himself to death. Bro, we have dysfunctionality in our bloodlines. Stay strong and keep on the good path, man. I am doing the same. Through struggle, we overcome. Through reflection, we thrive. Through enlightenment, we find tranquility. Sorry if that got too confucius-y lol
You and me and so many. The Covid bug showed me I had no friends and even most painful no family.. Now Im decluttering and trying to think of me and find my inner peace the one that I deserve
I gave up on faking my personality. If people don't like me for who I am, then that's their problem. I'm still nice when I meet people, but it's not over-exaggerated.
Or people just think you are being negative when actually going through a really tough time or have some challenging things to manage and you're doing the things to get to the next chapter. It's dissapointing but I guess its hard for some people to get into that space so keep plodding along and being ourself. Take care ❤
Ecclesiastes 3 King James Version 3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. 16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? Ecclesiastes 7 King James Version 7 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. 3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. 4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. 5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. 6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity. 7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. 11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. 13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. 15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. 16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ? 17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? 18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. 19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. 20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. 21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: 22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. 23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. 24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? 25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. 27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: 28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. 29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Good points of how we are molding to social pressure and living by societies guidance on what is the right way to live and all along it is just a game of approval and rules are there to guide us to be something we were not meant to be, l am struggling with justifying how much privilege l have abused to become who and what l am now, freedom is actually having nothing and success is an anchor.
I am not sure whether pretend or faking is the start of a drama. When we define a person on the level of closeness, how close are you to that person, and what defined close and what information you would be disclose. When we mix around pretend or fake, do we disclose our bank accounts as in for the favour of not fake, your wife, your children,your history , to share you have so so much. This is the level of closeness I am talking about, while the rest, the faking and pretend does not actually happen in a way for a drama should be. Therefore, we should not plug the word to fit into description of an emotion. The actual word should be how to accept who you are and be who you are. Because we are dressing others shirt to fit into our size. Or to choose the shirt that we like to wear but unable to wear it elegantly then we fake it.
Oh yes. Pretending to be happy is so shit. There’s no point anymore. I just don’t care about showing expressions or pretending. I don’t need people to feel sorry for me because no one does anyway. That’s how the cookie crumbles. Just have peace.

I don't know if you're still a gamer but I think you'd enjoy Persona 5. There's this whole theme of tearing off the mask that we wear in our everyday lives to conform and fit into society, so as not to cause problems for others. The characters of P5 basically reach an awakening and accept their inner selves and how rebellious and done with bullshit they really are despite appearing completely differently to other people. Their inner self longed for freedom and that's basically the whole gist of the story. There's also an anime for P5 as well but it's not as good as the game.
@@HealthCores Totally understandable, it was my vice for a long while as well. I've cut down gaming significantly since a couple of years ago, but allow myself 1 day a week :)
No worries about answering!!!!!!! Relax! Like your videos. You are not alone if you have yourself. Now more than ever! Ever caught any of the fish or does it not matter so much? Would love to see a fish... maybe even grilled. Apart from that, totally get it all and left the corporate world with no plan B. Still wonder.... now what?!
I do catch fish but mostly release unless I need food. Check out my latest video when I catch and cook. But other than that I don't think more than 1 day ahead. My big plans usually crash and burn so I take it slow now.
Yes I had anxiety all my life and it mess up my sleep badly. I find that running helps a lot. Been trying to cut back on coffee too. And just being out with nature is very helpful to keep my mind at peace and does help with sleep. I hope you figure out how to get your sleep back on track.
I dont give a f* about society. Im working in tech (good salary) and despite that im wearing old clothes. Im reading the Bible. Im 28 and never touched alkohol. I dont like parties. Im painting after my 9-5. I dont wear make-up. I care about my husband and parents. I have no friends because i dont feel any connection. I like deep conversations. I love fishing with my husband and parents. I need my family, Jesus and some money for basic things like food, bills and oil paints :D Im from Poland, my english is… questionable and you know what? Nothing :D Im learning! Dont care about others opinions 🎉
Yep, at the end of the day it's the relationship with yourself and your belief that matter. People can be around but will disappear during a crisis and learned this first hand. Just love yourself and be who you want to be.
It`s good when people don`t accept you for who you are, just drop em, who need em anyway? Think too yourself, your thoughts about someone has little effect on the world, it is the same way the other way around when someone thinks a certain way about you, fuck em.
Bro you definitely need therapy. You’re going through midlife crisis. I have a 9 to 5 and I run a business. I love staying busy and making money. I love my life!
I like where this guy is. He's taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture and developing some self awareness. What it ends up looking like for him might not be conventional and that doesn't mean it's wrong.
@@HealthCores I'm 27 btw. I listen to your videos after finding the viral one cause it is relaxing and I can overwork myself sometimes. It is a good reminder that there is more to life and was refreshing to listen to you. In the video, min 20 - min 24, you mention the following things: - Your friends go to parties, drinking etc. - You wonder why you are different. - You wonder why you don't have friends and are so different First of all, I think our buddies who drink heavily, that is their way of escaping their own pain. If they were pain-free, you might connect with them more than you could expect now. But that doesn't matter. I want to tell that when I was young I would party as well, mainly also to meet girls. Cause that is were they are at and how most people find their spouse etc. right? But I was never confident or my best self in that environment. My dating life improved when I stopped going, and learned to talk to people. At coffee places, the gym, or just out in nature or at a Mexican bar. With that, I met so many people and realized I'm not so different, I was looking in the wrong places, and I think that for you it is the same. You were not your authentic self, so it makes sense you didn't meet people you connect with, 'have friends'. But this doesn't have to stay that way. You need to step over the next social hurdle: 'communication'. It is okay to speak to people, to approach people. I would recommend a youtube channel like www.youtube.com/@Kyle_Froonjian, I know you have a family and you're not looking to date. But he will teach you a lot about stepping over social anxiety, and slowly building up a social muscle. If every week you would talk to someone at the lake, at the running club, or in the early morning at a park who is also jogging, or at a health conference (& who knows what more you like). I think you will be swimming in friends before you know it. But others also have social anxiety, so you will have to learn to make small first steps. You're not different, there are millions of people like you out there. You just have to be in the same place as them, and actually speak. Small comment -> conversation -> add contact information -> invite out some day -> start friendship. Hope this will help you and you will take action. Cheers buddy!
The bible makes a distinction between people who are of the world and people who are in the world i believe you are in the world but not of the world i wonder have you ever read about Jesus and who He is in the bible new testament , if you are made in His image and likeness then this earth will never feel like home because your Home is in Heaven
@ Brother I’m Cambodian. My family escape the Khmer Rouge to come to America. We have an opportunity to make life better for ourselves. I get where you’re coming from but at the same time if I just sit around all day doing nothing, I think that would be disrespectful to my parents who risk their lives to bring me here. Anyhow to each their own. 🍻
@Houstonbeach To each their own. But if you think about it, it's not easy to afford to sit around to reflect by a lake. I worked hard to get here, so now I am enjoying being lazy until whatever comes next.
@@HealthCores so basically you put yourself in a good position to be able to retire early. I have no problem with that. What I’m afraid is that people might take this video the wrong way and quit their 9 to 5 to do what you are doing when they’re not in the position to do so. That’s all I’m saying.
Do you ever feel like you’re wearing a mask to try to fit into society?
Only at work lol outside of work no.
I do understand what your asking. Like you put on this facade that your okay and everything smooth sailing but internally you feel the opposite and feel out of control.

I did not try to fit into society. I was different. The culture is corrupt, so trying to be like them is to be corrupt oneself. It is lonely, but there are groups that one can join where one has a common interest. In those groups, I do not have everything in common.

Yeh I am with you there. I know nothing about watching sports either and fortunate I didn't have to pretend to fit in on that one. Merry Christmas ❤️
In my experience I find that being fully authentic all the time is just too much for most people. I think there is a tight rope to be walked between being centered in your authentic self and recognizing how to filter yourself in a way that's relatable to the people you are interacting with. But from a place of centered power and not from trying to pander and please people, or impress them.
It's a hard dance to learn. But when pushing too hard for people to like us we forget ourselves. I made that mistake.
@@HealthCoresmeditation is a great activity, to take breqks, mental breaks and prep for stressful situations. Life can be very hyper competitive, intense and so. Always appreciate your content and insights 🙏👍
I can totally relate. I've spent too many years pretending to be someone I wasn't just to fit in and was miserable in the process. Finally, in my late 40's, I've decided to stop pretending and just embrace who I genuinely am. Feels lonely at times, but I feel happier and freer than ever. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. Wishing you a wonderful New Year ahead!
That moment when you become comfortable under your own skin is priceless. Happy New Year!
You’re saving lives one video at a time brother! We are not alone!
Thanks bro. This is why I speak up for people like us going through the same pain.
Yes. Many people out here seeking the same path. I've been in great pain over the last few years. I see others in even greater pain, and I feel guilty because my problems are trivial. I listen to peoples stories and try to learn from them all.
yeah he's helping even me as a woman to embrace my honest thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement or retribution
Continue to be as genuine as you are. Your words resonate with most of us
Yes, life is alone. And it doesn't mean lonely. Living out your life despite this takes courage and strength. Thanks for sharing.
Very true.....
Mate, 3 mins into watching your video… I see you’re real, authentic, friendly, honest and a good person… enjoying your peace in this beautiful scenery… enjoy fishing, the coffee and exploring your mind…. Keep it simple keep enjoying life and treat yourself with the freedom and quietness and being alive ✌🏼
It's great to have this peacefulness and being alive. Less is more. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much for sharing this....thank you for your bravery....I am happy you are able to be your true self....this video is so empowering and needed. Thank you.... You are speaking the truth....I love it thank you
My dad died broken and broke so my challenge is to die broke but not broken! I have walked away from many financial opportunities because the people with money despise the people without and women only value men with money and artificial value. I know who I am and I am one of the real humans in this realm I care for those that the populace don't care for and I always try to follow the truth and do what is right which usually is to my detriment. Your not dissimilar to many of us we are just spaced out and spread out amongst the many billions of people alive. I'm glad I found you because you amplify who I am this is the way my friend it is a thankless existence that is what makes you stronger. Keep doing what your doing and know we are here in the darkness casting our small light and making a difference without anyone knowing.
Yeh all my life I try so hard not going down my dad path. So far broke but not broken so at least we still doing something right.
You have had an awakening, be thankful for that, you will be just fine, you are a good man ❤
It is absolutely a year of awakening. Thank you ❤️
I'm glad i'm not the only one. Your post make me feel like I'm at home. Appreciate it
Thank you for being so open and honest. And thank you for your service! I appreciate you.
Thank you for your support and listening to my story. Merry Christmas ❤️
I’ve been going through the same spiritual journey that you’re going through. For so long, I’ve tried to be someone that other people wanted me to be, and I lost myself in the process. Now, I’m trying to be myself again. It can be scary because part of me wants other people to like me. But another part of me wants to like myself and I can’t like myself if I’m always crushing myself to be the person other people want me to be.
It is VERY scary to have to face ourselves. But once we could do that we will have no problem facing the world. We will all get there in due time.
Very young children are authentic. They are who they are, and they say what they really think. But as we get older, we learn to change ourselves to be what other people want us to be, so that we can fit in better. But we still long to be our authentic selves, to be whole again.
The last several years, I’ve also done a lot of solo camping trips, and I also run every day. Running is a great way to deal with stress, anxiety, frustration, anger and depression. I’ve learned to love myself more too. I used to think I was worthless and that only my success and my image mattered. I was wrong. I was lied to and I lied to myself. Human life, human health and human bodies are the most valuable things in the world. Everything else is secondary.
I live in Northern California. It sounds like you live in SoCal. I would love to meet up with you one day.
You’re right. This is a lonely path sometimes. But it’s a path that I think a lot of people want to go on, but are afraid to because they’re longing for outside validation and approval. That’s what I used to do too, but the truth is, you can’t make people like you. But we can all learn to like and to love ourselves.
Kids are authentic to themselves because they usually don't have to put on a face to survive. Us adults do and when we do it long enough we started losing ourselves. Never too late to find ourselves. That's why I do what I do. Yeh would be cool to meet up for coffee one day. Stay true to yourself bro.
Hello ..been binge watching because of your transparency...your voicing for many who are feeling the very same way but haven't had the courage to tell anyone...until.they crash and burnout...Bravo...THIS is great REAL.LIFE sharing
I experienced first hand of crash and burn. Not a good place to be. I am happy to share my experience with you. Thanks for listening.
First step to happiness and contentment is to be self honest with oneself.
Hey man, thanks for making this video. You inspired me to open up about my true self even more and I even made a video inspired by this on my channel. I really want to thank you because I heavily resonated to every single thing you said. I spent so much of my life, suppressing every true self about myself deep down, to project a specific image into this world to mask my insecurities and deeper issues. And I would let everyone's words get to me, causing me to become anxious about the world and to hide all the deeper issues of me and showing only the "strong" and "smart" personality of me so that I don't get judged. I was TERRIFIED of being judged by the world because it would always lead me into a deep spiral of shame and hatred. This year, my new year's resolution is to be myself and to not let this world get to me too much anymore and to be brutally honest about how i'm feeling and finding better outlets for my emotions. And to disconnect with the internet a bit more, to connect with the real world.
Hey man I am so glad that I can help you in the healing and self discovery process. It's great to let it all out isn't it. Please share the video with me and the world so that we could all feel better and know that it's OK to start being ourselves and love ourselves for the true selves that we are. Much love brother!
Excellent talk! You speak from the heart and I wish more would do the same. Sometimes it's not just what is said, but rather HOW it is said that makes an impact on someone. Thank you.
It's difficult but at the same time easy to talk about this after we spent a lifetime of struggles to try to overcome this. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I fucking love you man!!!! You're saying everything I'm feeling; I'm so done with society (not this world, Gods world is beautiful 🙏) The world man created is too fucked up 😞
I is a crazy world but I still think there's hope since we still have many good people around. Merry Christmas!
Hope ya keep talking this is the black dog purple elephant that alot of us face just cant word it.
Thanks for your support. It's hard taking of that mask but a liberating act in itself. We can finally be comfortable with ourselves and live life our way. Just keep doing it your way!
I don't have a road map either, just a cage and unfulfilled expectations of others....God bless you
Connected....with 'Who you really are'... and the peace felt in that space...is the gift from the years of tension between the poles ... whilst conforming. Never 'alone' Brotherman. All is ONE. Your shares in truthful vulnerability are brilliant and super valuable. Thank you for your channel. And one thing ...your Miss America impersonation is absolutely superb. Many many ways to live authentically and provide for self and family. This channel is Great.
I been spending too many years mastering that Miss America wave. That's what years of corporate does to you. Nice seeing you again and Merry Christmas!
@@HealthCores good seeing you again also. That Miss America wave with face could even be a superpower! Imagine using it and feeling Nothing negative. Actually having fun playing a game that You are in control of. Where you know that you are laughing at it because you Know who you are and you care nothing for the game. Thank you for the Xmas wishes. Hope 2025 is a brilliant year for you! Keep posting your vids please....many many people suffer out there and you are setting an excellent example of how to be honest, vulnerable and authentic with this channel. You are absolutely correct.....takes Courage and Strength. Blessings
Dec 25th in my bed in São Paulo Brazil the largest city in Latin America feeling heartbroken on a gloomy afternoon. Well someone I am so in love with is at the beach with someone else having the time of his life I guess !
However listening to you brings some sort of comfort I do feel I am not alone right ? I am 49 year old man I am tired of pretending to be happy just to fit in ! YOU ARE SO BRAVE SO BRAVE !!
First time I watch a video of an ASIAN BRAVE MAN being so pure so truthful.
I used to spend my holidays alone at home or at a bar lonely wondering if there's someone out there for me. Years later I have a happy family. Don't lose hope my friend just need the right timing ❤️
I'm also an Asian man around your age. I moved to the Mojave Desert from Los Angeles, and it's the best thing i've ever done for myself and mental health. I'm also in the southern Sierra Nevadas. Your backdrops remind me of near where I live.
I am a big fan of the Sierras. Planning a backpacking trip next summer. I am not a big fan of LA noise and traffic either. Enjoy the peace and quiet bro. Merry Christmas.
Great channel, feels like youre describing me with the lonely feelings and stuff, its so calming to hear you talk. Watching from the uk 🇬🇧 here, i love fishing too and being in the peacefulness of nature.
Get out there and catch something. At least the sound of nature will help calm the mind.
Seeing this relaxed me , alot of videos actually make me feel stressed or worried cuz cats in the rat race or trying to escape or quite hyperactive
Thanks for coming through to listen to my real talk about real life struggles.
I understand you, if you talk real to someone at work it’s as people don’t really want to listen, and u have to be positive, smiling, productive, and can’t say no at work. My job is toxic, have a family, but done with working and life , family drains you, paid my morgage, but bills still to pay
You're describing my old job I know I was there. Keeping up the daily act was more exhausting than the work itself.
I recently moved from my home town in nz to brisbne aus. I left behind nearly everyone to gain opportunities. The hardest thing is finding real connections with good people. I'm a Christian and love Jesus so going and drinking with workmates sounds awful. It can be a lonely journey but God is always with me. Thanks for the video
The American “dream” is about consuming to create a lifestyle that is empty… it’s a merry go round to keep you distracted from being a genuine human being. You have great critical thinking skills. A philosopher. Your words are sharp like a knife. When you meet others like you… they are out there.. you will know you are not alone. ❤
Yes. You’re very inspirational and wise. Thank you.
Thanks for listening to my inner voice.
Socrates said what you are saying right now. Truth never ends
It takes a lot to become a person that is real , keep it up !
Yourbwords have been so helpful during these hard times and i appreciate it
I am in the same journey, and definitely my spiritual awakening helped to understand the importance of being true to themselves.
I follow you and Dr Goobie, both of you are touching thousands of souls just by speaking your truth. And this is the real greatness
Being authentic and connecting with others through shared experiences is such a powerful way to grow and inspire. The impact of speaking truth truly makes the world feel a little more connected. Keep embracing your journey. Merry Christmas!
I love real people!!! But they are very rare.
For a Sigma INFJ myself, the world is not perfect, and so with the people, it is the Sigma world who want to be idealist, visionary, and practical on task and on selective of friends.
It is the Sigma world to test the water, the depth of the water, the hot or the cool water, as people changes perspective on every stages of age even for the same person we knew for a long time.
When we see or study the murder cases, or suicide cases, which is to harm people or self harm, it is age at that particular timing. It does not happen when we all are a newly born infant.
Therefore, what clicks or what does not, it still depends on the brain when to open up, in other words, we grow and replace cells all over the body everyday, that what kind of cells do we want to build up and are accumulating until we loop the memory without improvement or without build up future better improved memory.
When we all at 80s, you will see today's conversation or comments become the memory, history as well as for the future. Though we use history, but memory which is much more worthwhile to create than the history.
So are we going to create a better memory or are we just hang out everywhere in youtube. Hahaha. 👍♥️
Don't underestimate the benefits of solitude, there is a fast difference between loneliness and being alone through choice. You are never alone sitting in nature observing the world. Much of happiness is about letting things go and finding peace and substance in your life. The young fear solitude but the more mature revel in solitude. I now avoid people when I can, but when I encounter them I am pleasant and friendly but then I move on. There are to many people who have unresolved issues and bring toxicity in to the mix. Stress can be other people with their drama and emotional issues. Some people are great others are hell.
Being alone doesn't mean feeling lonely. There were times I been around thousands of people and still feeling empty inside.
@@HealthCores
Yes there are many people in committed relationship's that are lonely.
@thistleproductions6431 This is true. It's about that missing human connection. Everyone is different.
I tend to be bluntly open and honest at the school I work at, but all it's gotten is me in trouble with the principal ! Gonna try and be quieter and a bit more subserviant when we go back in two weeks. Wish me Luck and oh, Merry Christmas !
That's brave of you. I was never vocal until later in my adulthood. But I am still reserved and very political and it might not always be a good thing.
Thank you for the videos, man! I'm definitely sharing them with people I know! Merry Christmas to you and your family! I might need to go back to a 9-5 job because I'm dealing with toxic abuse from my parents. I have to put on a happy face to avoid being blamed, even though I’m planning everything. Unfortunately, they don't care about me, just my money.
Sorry to hear you gotta deal with the chaos man. Yeh we all have to do whatever it takes to survive. Whether that's keeping grinding or pretending to be someone else. But hopefuly 1 day we can take off the mask and be ourselves and live the way we want. Keep at it bro and Merry Christmas!
What a lovely series of videos. Keep on being real my brother. Try not to fall into a desire to make more of this attention.
Thank you for the advice. Merry Christmas!
This video felt real and thats why i enjoy it
"Merry Christmas!!!! Happy New Year!!!! Ready for a new year???"....uh huh..just another day
I used to feel like that too. Hung out at some bar alone. But I am lucky that I don't need to do that anymore. I hope you will soon find people that you could celebrate the holidays with. Happy New Year!
Lovely message. All truth
Oh man, we have a lot in common. I also never found my place anywhere and struggled to fit in with anyone just out of loneliness. By the way, baggy clothes officially is back in.
Loneliness made us hangout with the wrong crowd sometimes. I have seen my old boys ended up in trouble with the law. That could have been us man. I am just happy to be me now.
@ haha yea, fortunately I was too nerdy to fit in. My dad has sever mental disorder, he is schizphrenic, so Istill looked for ideals of being a man, like honor courage loyalty things i instead found through martial arts and military. But if I wasnt such a quiet nerdy kid, I would have completely gone down the wrong path.
@@JeffreyPham79 Man that sounds like my family. We have a history of mental illness and addiction. My grandpa hung himself after years of addiction. We need to be careful as they say it's genetics. Just need to play the cards they dealt us the best we could bro.
@@HealthCores oh wow. Someone in my dad’s side also unalived themself with gas and fire, a horrific story. And another just drank himself to death. Bro, we have dysfunctionality in our bloodlines. Stay strong and keep on the good path, man. I am doing the same. Through struggle, we overcome. Through reflection, we thrive. Through enlightenment, we find tranquility. Sorry if that got too confucius-y lol
You and me and so many. The Covid bug showed me I had no friends and even most painful no family.. Now Im decluttering and trying to think of me and find my inner peace the one that I deserve
It's a tough spot I get it. This is why we need to love ourselves even more. Good people are around we just need to run into them. Merry Christmas.
@@HealthCores You too!!!!!
Thanks for your videos my family ♾️🌌💜
Thank for letting me share ❤️
Like were running for president...classic love it !
I AM SO PROUD IF YOU !!! XOXO FROM BRAZIL
Hello Brazil thank you and Merry Christmas!
31:54 Fortunate, as well. Thanks for sharing🙏
Thank you for being here ❤️
Awesome video
You a good dude, don`t care about the world my man.
My best buddy is a "nerd" , never care about a so called stamp some idiot try to label you with. Let it go my man, just breath.
Lemme know when your in Holland, we go play some games, i do smoke weed, but you don`t have too :)))
Thanks for the offer dude 😁
I can totally relate with you man.
I love your videos and insights ❤
Merry Christmas 😊😃👍💕 greetings from 🇵🇱
Merry Christmas! ❤
Very true
I gave up on faking my personality. If people don't like me for who I am, then that's their problem. I'm still nice when I meet people, but it's not over-exaggerated.
It's way too tiring to put on a face all day long.
@HealthCores most definitely.
Or people just think you are being negative when actually going through a really tough time or have some challenging things to manage and you're doing the things to get to the next chapter. It's dissapointing but I guess its hard for some people to get into that space so keep plodding along and being ourself. Take care ❤
Nice talk brother
Bro turned his life 180 degrees in every video man why am i seeing this bro
Yeh life isn’t easy or fair and those curve balls will keep on coming bro.
Ecclesiastes 3
King James Version
3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Ecclesiastes 7
King James Version
7 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?
17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.
19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:
22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
27 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
i could listen to you for hours...so much facts, it hurts
It's good to have you here. Thanks for coming by to visit. Happy New Year!
Good points of how we are molding to social pressure and living by societies guidance on what is the right way to live and all along it is just a game of approval and rules are there to guide us to be something we were not meant to be, l am struggling with justifying how much privilege l have abused to become who and what l am now, freedom is actually having nothing and success is an anchor.
Who are we to say how freedom or success should be. Each has their own path to follow and hopefully we are happy with the path chosen.
I am not sure whether pretend or faking is the start of a drama. When we define a person on the level of closeness, how close are you to that person, and what defined close and what information you would be disclose. When we mix around pretend or fake, do we disclose our bank accounts as in for the favour of not fake, your wife, your children,your history , to share you have so so much. This is the level of closeness I am talking about, while the rest, the faking and pretend does not actually happen in a way for a drama should be.
Therefore, we should not plug the word to fit into description of an emotion. The actual word should be how to accept who you are and be who you are. Because we are dressing others shirt to fit into our size. Or to choose the shirt that we like to wear but unable to wear it elegantly then we fake it.
Have a blessed Christmas, my brother
Merry Christmas!
Oh yes. Pretending to be happy is so shit.
There’s no point anymore. I just don’t care about showing expressions or pretending.
I don’t need people to feel sorry for me because no one does anyway.
That’s how the cookie crumbles.
Just have peace.
It's hard to keep up the act and eventually the house of cards will fall. It's great not to have to try so hard to be us❤️
People crave validation from people who aren't even valid
A sad reality.
Thank you for your honesty. Unfortunately, this is most people today, they wear these masks. There’s an old saying, I am who I think you think I am.
Unfortunately we could only put up the act for so long before we forget who we really are.
I enjoy your talk and Sven can
i feel this a lot.
❤
25:30 Indeed "Being honest, takes courage."

Elsiane - Across the Stream
Strong enough to tell you why
I feel enough to tell you something
That's very close to me
In the eye, of my mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
Feel the reasons that we thought
You just feel all
Falling I'm standing across the stream
Fearing, saying I
*I'm strong enough to find my courage*
To find the way
I'm always near, it's brewing in my mind
You are awesome, authentic freshness comes from your videos, salute you with the new Undying Sun.
It's tough to face ourselves. All the sudden it feels weird without the mask but feeling free at the same time. Thanks for being here ❤️
truely real videos
From Russia with love
I don't know if you're still a gamer but I think you'd enjoy Persona 5. There's this whole theme of tearing off the mask that we wear in our everyday lives to conform and fit into society, so as not to cause problems for others. The characters of P5 basically reach an awakening and accept their inner selves and how rebellious and done with bullshit they really are despite appearing completely differently to other people. Their inner self longed for freedom and that's basically the whole gist of the story.
There's also an anime for P5 as well but it's not as good as the game.
I played the first Persona years ago and haven't play the rest. But I don't play as much anymore like before. Gaming was my vice for a while.
@@HealthCores Totally understandable, it was my vice for a long while as well. I've cut down gaming significantly since a couple of years ago, but allow myself 1 day a week :)
No worries about answering!!!!!!! Relax! Like your videos. You are not alone if you have yourself. Now more than ever! Ever caught any of the fish or does it not matter so much? Would love to see a fish... maybe even grilled. Apart from that, totally get it all and left the corporate world with no plan B. Still wonder.... now what?!
I do catch fish but mostly release unless I need food. Check out my latest video when I catch and cook. But other than that I don't think more than 1 day ahead. My big plans usually crash and burn so I take it slow now.
have you ever had trouble sleeping bc of anxiety? i'm going through that now
Yes I had anxiety all my life and it mess up my sleep badly. I find that running helps a lot. Been trying to cut back on coffee too. And just being out with nature is very helpful to keep my mind at peace and does help with sleep. I hope you figure out how to get your sleep back on track.
We all have our own problems so nobody really wants to hear other people's problems.
Yep everyone too busy dealing with their own misery so we don't bother to talk to people anymore ☹️
😮😮
Were you in ABZ or TRG?
Did you see my comment under yours?
That said: advice for you
No I didn't see it. Looks like UA-cam just hide it under all the other comments
I dont give a f* about society. Im working in tech (good salary) and despite that im wearing old clothes. Im reading the Bible. Im 28 and never touched alkohol. I dont like parties. Im painting after my 9-5. I dont wear make-up. I care about my husband and parents. I have no friends because i dont feel any connection. I like deep conversations. I love fishing with my husband and parents. I need my family, Jesus and some money for basic things like food, bills and oil paints :D Im from Poland, my english is… questionable and you know what? Nothing :D Im learning! Dont care about others opinions 🎉
Yep, at the end of the day it's the relationship with yourself and your belief that matter. People can be around but will disappear during a crisis and learned this first hand. Just love yourself and be who you want to be.
It`s good when people don`t accept you for who you are, just drop em, who need em anyway?
Think too yourself, your thoughts about someone has little effect on the world, it is the same way the other way around when someone thinks a certain way about you, fuck em.
Yeh man. I stay in my lane and focus on my family and my health.
😮😢
i dont know if you care but if you eat weed you dont get the coughing
Bro you definitely need therapy. You’re going through midlife crisis. I have a 9 to 5 and I run a business. I love staying busy and making money. I love my life!
It's great you love staying busy and love life❤️ Everyone wanna get to that point but not everyone could. Enjoy every moment of it. Cheers!
I like where this guy is. He's taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture and developing some self awareness. What it ends up looking like for him might not be conventional and that doesn't mean it's wrong.
Yoo if you really mean what you are saying through this video, I also have good advice for you.
Are you open to it?
Absolutely please.
@@HealthCores I'm 27 btw. I listen to your videos after finding the viral one cause it is relaxing and I can overwork myself sometimes. It is a good reminder that there is more to life and was refreshing to listen to you.
In the video, min 20 - min 24, you mention the following things:
- Your friends go to parties, drinking etc.
- You wonder why you are different.
- You wonder why you don't have friends and are so different
First of all, I think our buddies who drink heavily, that is their way of escaping their own pain. If they were pain-free, you might connect with them more than you could expect now.
But that doesn't matter. I want to tell that when I was young I would party as well, mainly also to meet girls. Cause that is were they are at and how most people find their spouse etc. right? But I was never confident or my best self in that environment. My dating life improved when I stopped going, and learned to talk to people. At coffee places, the gym, or just out in nature or at a Mexican bar.
With that, I met so many people and realized I'm not so different, I was looking in the wrong places, and I think that for you it is the same. You were not your authentic self, so it makes sense you didn't meet people you connect with, 'have friends'. But this doesn't have to stay that way. You need to step over the next social hurdle: 'communication'. It is okay to speak to people, to approach people. I would recommend a youtube channel like www.youtube.com/@Kyle_Froonjian, I know you have a family and you're not looking to date. But he will teach you a lot about stepping over social anxiety, and slowly building up a social muscle.
If every week you would talk to someone at the lake, at the running club, or in the early morning at a park who is also jogging, or at a health conference (& who knows what more you like). I think you will be swimming in friends before you know it. But others also have social anxiety, so you will have to learn to make small first steps.
You're not different, there are millions of people like you out there. You just have to be in the same place as them, and actually speak. Small comment -> conversation -> add contact information -> invite out some day -> start friendship.
Hope this will help you and you will take action. Cheers buddy!
The bible makes a distinction between people who are of the world and people who are in the world i believe you are in the world but not of the world i wonder have you ever read about Jesus and who He is in the bible new testament , if you are made in His image and likeness then this earth will never feel like home because your Home is in Heaven

you are an actor
Thanks for your compliments. I would love to go to Hollywood one day. Better than being a lazy bum 😁
So what’s the solution? Quit your job and be homeless?
Sometimes being homeless is better than grinding until you go 6feet under
@ Brother I’m Cambodian. My family escape the Khmer Rouge to come to America. We have an opportunity to make life better for ourselves. I get where you’re coming from but at the same time if I just sit around all day doing nothing, I think that would be disrespectful to my parents who risk their lives to bring me here. Anyhow to each their own. 🍻
@Houstonbeach To each their own. But if you think about it, it's not easy to afford to sit around to reflect by a lake. I worked hard to get here, so now I am enjoying being lazy until whatever comes next.
@@HealthCores so basically you put yourself in a good position to be able to retire early. I have no problem with that. What I’m afraid is that people might take this video the wrong way and quit their 9 to 5 to do what you are doing when they’re not in the position to do so. That’s all I’m saying.
It truly is an AI society. Fake
I think it's been that way for a while. We just have to recognize it for ourselves and start being who we are.
You are fake, don t you?
That is a profound question. Please care to elaborate on your wisdom. Thank you.
Good for you and others that choose themselves 1st 🪜🌎
At the end of the day we are our best ally.
