Boogie you make me feel human. Thank you for existing.
Couldn't agree more... I'm going to do this experiment he said to do and see if it works for me...
Aaron Michael did it work?
I want to be healthy, I want to live in Oregon with my best friend, and I want a porch where my plants and my cat can hang out.
I hope you’re happy right now! :)
i live in oregon it’s so expensive now :( i hope you moved before it became like a million for anything
@@Bearnaiseeee hope you didnt move to oregon, its a shithole here.
I just want to be happy
How are you doing nowadays?
This is why people can watch your videos endlessly. You are genuine and it shows. I think you've recently beat out Elliot Hulse as my go-to for a pick-me-up.
Cheers boogie!
I wonder if boogie and Elliot know about each other ? lol
Elliot - I watched him at first because he knows his shit about strength and conditioning. Otherwise he is a nut job about other things.

Thank you Boogie, that was very powerful. You're an inspiration to us all.
I want to become someone who loves the world, who jumps out of bed every day hungry for what the day will bring, good or bad. Someone who spends his free time making people laugh and feel better about themselves. I want to hold my friends close and my family even closer. I want to see me family at least three times a year. I want to feel economically secure, hopefully to the point where I have expendable income that I can give back to the causes and institutions that I believe in. I want to make music one of the most powerful forces in my life, and I never want to give up playing the guitar nor piano. I don't want to become a professional, but I want to use these instruments as tools to provide joy to myself and others.
I would like to have a partner whom I love and cherish, to the point where I would never dream of being with anyone else ever, and I would like them to feel the same way about me. I want to tell her how beautiful she is every single day, and let her know that if Beyonce jumped on my lap I would push her off and run to my woman. Despite this, I would like to have the security within myself to feel grateful even if I never find this person.
I picture myself living in a modest home, outside of a major city. I have a dog who brings me a sock, toy, or anything that hopefully isn't expensive every time I come home from work, wagging his or her tail. I would like to respect this dog, and admire his or her ability to live in the moment and not dwell on the "what ifs" or "could haves/should haves" of life.
This is my dream.
You read my mind. Lets hope this will become a reality.
You're an awesome human being Boogie. Thanks for making this video.
I want to be the dad and husband I should be. I have 4 children all under the age of 12 and a great wife! I am crippled by anxiety, but have hope for a better future, even amidst all the fear, confusion, and reclusive anxiety driven life I live.
I've been dealing with depression beginning of this year. I can't get it over this shitty ass feeling
Hey it's a horrible feeling of despair when your in that zone. I'm new to making UA-cam videos but check out my channel and check out my video
how to cope with depression heart vs mind
Your not alone and it does get better just look at boogie the mans awesome he has overcome so much crap.
Hope you feel better soon
god bless you mate, I'll never forget you.
Need to start making videos like these again
The internet used to be fun and useful but now its evolved into a mess
@@sleepforever8378, agreed
@@sleepforever8378because the normies and mainstream got heavily involved with the internet from 2014 all the way to 2018 now everyone uses the internet and it’s lost all it’s flair.
boogie is the man. I feel like he's such a close friend. long live steve and screw anyone who trolls on him and anyone else
Agree
I've been watching advice videos all night expecting to find something that would help 'cure'my depression... and honest to god, this is the only one that's had an effect on me. You have given me a reason to live, something to look forward to. I have realised that nobody else is going to cure me of my depression. To get through this I need to do it myself. Thanks so much for giving me some Hope!! :)
I doubt Boogie2988 will read this comment considering it's been 3 and a half years, but I want to become a UA-camr just like he is. He inspires me more then just about anyone else out there.
Unit 789 same... nice channel
+Charles Hair thanks! Your channel is cool too btw
Unit 789 thx bro
Unit 789 and holy shit ur underated
Charles Hair thanks lol so much has changed since my initial comment
I never comment but I have to say thank you Boogie. I hope the love you share comes back 10x
I've been going through a bit of a depression and I gotta say, what you said really helped me. It feels good knowing that someone understands cuz at this point everyone I've talked to doesn't. As for my dreams I hope to one day become a music teacher and you have really inspired me to keep pushing twitter at dream. So thank you
I'm in a place where no matter how hard I try to explain to the people around me how it is being depressed no one understands. So thank you for the advice and the sense of not being alone.
It's been not but two weeks since I first watched this video when I found myself contemplating bringing myself to the next life, if you will. I wanted to come back and say thank you. this video offered me an amazing perspective. I paused your video. I sat in thought. by the end of this experience, I felt guided. I didn't feel so lost. thank you. I don't think I can ever express how much I mean that, but thank you.
Boogie ... thank you. I genuinely believe that some of your caring and inspirational words have saved some lives. you have helped me in low times, too. You are a rare gem in this world and I admire, respect, and love you so much. Thank you, Boogie.
This has helped me so much. I have been living my life with this constant fear of the unknown(Death) and it has had me in this very depressed mood. I started to think that there is no reason to live a life just to haveit all be destroyed by death. But i will now try to acomplish my goal towards the new and happier me. Thank you boogie for saving my life
I have depression and I often think about that person I want to be and I fight to do those things I need to do. But it's so hard I'm always having these ups and Downs. It was really encouraging to hear that u feel you did it, you achieved that person you wanted to be and ur mostly happy. It gives me hope that I can do it too!
Even tho this was made 9 years ago your advice has helped me out once again boogie!
I want to become a confident man for once, I deal with social anxiety because I have Asperger’s like i’m scared of people’s attitude, facial expression with eye contact and whatever they think about me during a conversation and after the conversation. My dream was always to be nice to other people and have very flexible social skills to get deep, personal and intimate, cringy and awkward conversations without ever feeling uncomfortable and guilty.
My dream is to talk to ladies and gentlemen respectfully, nothing creepy. My other dream is to go to groceries and occasionally shopping without my family’s companion and supervision, so I can be comfortable and pick something different without they ask me. I always had that ambition of buying something nice, not expensive and worthless.
My dream is to confidently laugh and smile face-to-face with a community group that agrees to make a change in the world, whether it’s the environment and that. My dream is to be accepted as I accept others.
I went through this at a young age of 16 up until I was about 19. I'm almost 21 now and it still hits me sometimes. I have my good days and my bad days. It's people like you Boogie that keep me going. Guys like you inspire me to keep on going in life. Knowing things worked out for you give me a big boost. I play video games for a living and that's what I want my career to be. I just want to play games and have fun. Hopefully one day I will be like you, sitting here on UA-cam having fun. Thanks.
6:47 - 6:57 idk why but I burst into tears hearing that. Thanks boogie.
I want to be a songwriter, idk how but I'm gonna try.
Uncle Phil good luck
You just saved my life. I wanna cosplay for anime, I wanna be a journalist and I wanna be strong to recover from Binge Eating Disorder and Depression.
Thanks for giving me hope, motivation and strenght.
Hope you doing well 3 years later! Boogies videos still impact people from in the future .p.
I've been depressed now for about 2 years and the thought of suicide had crossed my mind several times but has always been stopped by the thought of hurting my family. This video really helped me open my eyes and see that I need to do something to get what I want. So I want to say thank you Boogie for showing me there's a chance to do what I want.
Every so often I fall back into my pit without even realizing it. You always bring me back out.
*I want to become a malleable machine that I can guide with my own consciousness. In video games I always grind for shit I don't even want just to prove I'm better that you... I want to be like that in real life. A real life character that I can grind to become better than everyone else.*
I want to be a game developer. I want to be someone people can depend on. I want to be funny, sociable, attractive, outgoing, and loved. I want to be happy.
I've been very depressed for 5 months straight. I'm 23 and have never gone through anything like this. Thank you for understanding...and for the advice.
It's one of the most rewarding things you can pick up. You're gonna fail hard at first but if you've got the problem solving skills and patience, watching a project come together is an incredible feeling. You're also likely to make a good chunk of change if you get good enough to convince people to let you work for them.
Boogie I want you to know youre my idol. You are the best person I have ever seen, im serious. I love you boogie.
this was deep. thanks boogie
Boogie, just watching this with my music playing quietly in the background literally just gave me some kind of thrust or desire to motivate myself. I have exams coming up, parties, college. A lot of tough stuff, but you're right, keep focused on that 'future self' and everything seems to matter more.
This video was really inspirational. I've been suffering from depression for the last 6-7 months and it has ruled my life.I've turned to alternative methods to solve this,be it through drugs, cigs, drinking or even self abuse. But this along with a recent video you posted has really helped me see that i can beat this! I've always struggled to create a positive self image and let my anxiety prevent me from achieving my goals but i know deep down I'm more than that and you've inspired me to fight.
This video helped me a lot, Boogie you are an amazing man.
I came up blank. I stared in the mirror for three minutes only to come up empty, I don't even know what I want to be probably because I can't be.
Frog Holding Machine Gun *Maybe you want to be a machine like me. One that you can have complete control over and lvl up whatever way you see fit.*
Bro, I just wanna say thanks. You've helped me put things in perspective. I'm so close to taking my next steps in achieving who I want to become and lately I've been dragging my ass a little.
This is so simple, but so moving. I don't know why, but this is what I needed to hear to better myself, and start working towards the better me.
I hope my honesty isn't scoffed at - I was in a terrible place when I found this video. My lowest point. I've got a long road ahead, but at least I can see now that the sidewalk doesn't end here.
I guess I'll just say thank you.
I want to become a fire fighter, I want to pass all my GCSE exams, I want to get friends and stop being so depressed and I want 2 get a girlfriend.
Josh 22 u can do it :)
I really like ur advice. It’s so raw and authentic which everyone can relate to on a more deeper level. It reminds me that everyone has struggles and no one is perfect but that’s what makes us human.
Thank you absolutely thank you. My sister was one of the only people that supported me , now that she's moved out I can't ask for help as much as I used to. My Mom always yells at me and never gives me support and my father is always at work. Things are hard as you said but you have to keep trying. Me sister once told me a quote, " Expect the best, prepare for the worst, and anything in the middle, you can handle." Thank you
I want to find love with another woman and have a child with her.
did you succeed?
Did u manage ?
I want to enlist in the Canadian Armed Forces as an infantry soldier and have a successful military career. I want to marry my girlfriend and be the best husband I can possibly be. I want to leave a mark on the world and change it for the better. I want to help people and do good.
Curtis Waters How are you doing now?
I spent many years doubting myself and not socializing with people due to a bullying problem i suffered in high school. I was actually afraid to change my life, to go out and make things better.
But thankfully i got past that. It wasn't easy, it was scary as all hell but i knew i had to act now or i'd regret it later.
Now, i'm gaining the skills to become a qualified accountant and i have a few amazing friends. Things are so much better now. I never had reason to feel afraid. Life is good.
Classic boogie is what I need this sad sad Monday
I just want to be an actor man
+Jonathan Sanchez Go for it, I (a random guy on the internet) wish you the best of luck :)
+Nathan Place thanks man. I really appreciate that bud I'll try my best
I'm sure that whatever happens with it, if you try your best at whatever plans you come up with to be what you want to be you'll be happy. It might not even end up taking you where you imagined but as long as you worked hard to get wherever you get, you'll be happy, so go for it, see where it takes you and be proud when you can look back and say "I worked for this, I deserve to be here" :)
my dream is to become a well known pianist I wanna help people who suffer from depression or whatever they're going through or are going through,through music I wanna make people happy and not be sad or this or that I know life is hard and sometimes it sucks I suffer from depression and I hate it and I experience the world so I know what people go through or how they feel.
I am a musician too and I want to help people like that too. It makes me feel better knowing there is someone else out there like me :)
Skyler Chiras :D
Boogie, I've been depressed for most of my teenage years. Even now, i am still fighting this battle. Lately, i've been watching a lot of your old videos about similar topics like this one. I just want to say that your words of wisdom and encouragement never fail to give me hope. I feel like i can keep going. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice. Thank you so much.
And to answer your question, i want to be a writer. I want to reach out to people like you do, boogie.
I went tho a deep depretion bout two years ago and i have just recently gotten out of it. and this mite help others who think a lil bit differently like the people that don't know who they want to be. the people that think like that just find the things that you really don't like bout your life and change them make your life to the way you want it to be. you can be anything you jst got to want it bad enough... and Boogie your best keep up what your doing your an awsome dude. keep rocking brother
Jesus Christ said : “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11 : 28
Sorry man I'm a communist
What I want a home own a car. Buy a gaming ring , maybe start on youtube, if I get the chance ill will get married if she is marriage material. And that's about it.
I've wanted to be a martial arts instructor since I was a kid. I've been training since I was 9 and now I'm 25. Apprenticed in many forms and like you said things get hard but if it was easy well then everyone would do it. Great motivation there Boogie, life makes philosophers of us all and it shows in you good sir.
I always come back to this video when I need a little encouragement. Thanks man.
I posted basically this same thing on another one of your videos, but I just had to quit my job this past week due to depression and anxiety. I really needed to see this video and hear your words. I definitely need to make a list about what I want to achieve.
Wow, just wow. I came on here expecting another hilarious Diablo rant too, but am awestruck now. What great advice, as someone who's suffered depression myself I have to say he really has just hit the nail on the head. Little steps, every day and the more you do the better you'll feel about yourself and the easier it'll become.
Great stuff man, excellent that you're using your platform to help people.
Thank you. I want to be fit and mentally healthy, seeing your progression and your hope gives me strength. Thank you boogie, God bless you
I just want to be a happy person again. That's my first goal. From there, I want to be able to enjoy playing World of Warcraft again, and start using that as my anti-drug coping tool. I know that sounds counterproductive or silly, but bear with me, I haven't felt naturally happy in a year at least lol. And in the end, I want to be able to juggle playing in a band (as a side hobby), making videos on UA-cam for extra income, and working full time as either a graphic artist for big companies or a self made comic illustrator.
This is the second video I seen from you and already I have so much respect from you. Personally my life just started hitting rock bottom so watching this gave me that motivation to keep trying again thank you man. much love :)
Recently ive been depressed because i had a place at my dream medical school but i messed up my final year of school and didn't get the grades i needed to get in. Albeit this isn't the first time this depression has been a problem for me, i have bad memories of it from a couple years ago. But recently after finishing school and losing contact with most of my friends and thinking to myself how much work i put in in school and it was all for nothing, how I neglected socialising and playing sports and yet i still messed up and simultaneously didn't have the experiences that an 18 year old should have had, im in a bad state. I want to get out of this rut and move on with my life because recently ive felt purposeless and realised how meaningless life is. But ive also realised that its my job to give my life purpose. Im gonna apply to medical school abroad, i have to study to pass entrance exams but its worth it because im gonna meet so many new people, learn a new language, study something im passionate about and develop socially, and its going to be great.
You know what I do when i get depressed, I watch ur videos cause there either very informative or Positive or just super hilarious! I love ur Frances vids, every time life gets me down ur charcter makes my day. So thank you boogie!!
Man one of my favorite videos of yours! You really have always had a great message.
The last bit about fighting out of depression and people noticing is some real shit!! Thanks for this.
a good tips is also to be generally nice to people. i think you can come far in life by being a nice person.
also be confident. i where bullied for 6 years in school. after that i just understood that some people are generally mean and they are not worth your anger. people can sometime feel how confident a person are. just remember to say to yourself " i am awesome" and bam damn right you are. also don't take yourself too serous, you are human and you make mistakes,
boogie you rock!
This video almost made me cry. I need this motivation.
Thank you Boogie!
i agree with you 100% here, i honestly can't believe you said what you said because its the same plan i have been working on for the past few months. i am depressed, and that depression is what keeps me from studying C++ on my own, i know its hard, but if im gonna be worlds next great game designer, i gotta know how to program the storylines, the artwork, the characters, and all that stuff to bring it to life. i've wanted to be a game tester since i was 4 playing the NES with my uncle.
I want to be like Boogie2988, That guy has had such an influence on me. He is a living example of the phrase "Whatever doesn't kill ya will make you stronger" I love that he triumphed over the bullshit that most have to deal with and that he made it to that point of serenity, that point where he has made it to where he wants to be in life and continues the fight to be the best he can be. What I love most is that he also helps me and others fight the trials of life with his vids. Thanks Boogie. .
I've been suffering from depression when I was diagnosed with my Chrons Disease. I've Been really struggling to find a job. So, about 3 Months ago I started to knuckle down and really start to pull my shit together. Found a new house, Went looking for jobs all week and ater, I went to see about a Apprenticeship.
It's been about a month now since I went there and I've been working for an Electronics company called Roe's. What Boogies saying is true, you can beat depression, it just takes time!
I love watching your videos. You really shine as a honest and genuine person and I sincerely congtulate you on the work you are doing.
Boogies' videos have litterally saved my life. I can't stress enough how vital these words have been for me
Lot of respect for you Boogie, I'm not depressed and I have a great life but I respect your trying to help people who need it
dude everything you said at the start of this video about depression is so true i recently got made redundant and have the same feeling that you said i really never understood depression till now
I know how you feel.. been switching meds for about 2 years. going Friday out of town to see if there sending me to the hospital so they can switch my meds faster.. Last bit of my junior year in high school and i left school for the rest of the year. (doing work at home because i don't want to leave my house or be around people.) Keep strong man.
Ty, this has been rly inspiration for me. I'm now working on getting myself to a good school and get a job, get the driverlicense, after 3 years of gaming and being lazy, im now gonna live MY life to the fullest :)
I never comment on movies. But i found this video very inspirational, thank you very much!
I used to suffer from depression, my goal was to become a musician, school was always in the way they did not let me study music as i did'nt have the thoery. Got 3 D's in exams. Got an audition into a music school in England, failed the thoery but seen my talent and took me on, i am now fluent in theory and have increased dramatically on guitar and other instruments. I have a gig on Saturday, life is good!
boogie's right every word really counts and makes a difference to anyone even more so to those with depression , some of you have commented about how people steer you away from the things you love or want to do
I've spent years of my life learning guitar, I took lessons, I skipped every lunch in high school because I would rather be in the music room. I forced myself to learn drums and piano. I've spent thousands of dollars on music equipment, recording equipment. I've used hours of my life reading forums and watching youtube tutorials. I've spent thousands of dollars in youtube advertising... But the last thing I have ever been, was successful.
I don't wanna work at a grocery store my whole life.
I want to not be afraid of everything.
You are a very brave and thoughtful man to come forward and relate your personal experiences with depression and isolation. I can see clearly that you have a kind heart and you truly care about other people. Mental health issues can be very painful, and of course deadly. Therefore I just want to thank you for your honesty and support. I'm certain these videos you have made on this topic have helped many people; I know it helped me!
-Thank You
Thank you so much for this. I have been going through bad depression and needed a bit of advice. But I will break out of it. I did once before.
Thank you boogie so much this helps for tonight. I have experienced depression before but only during school never in summer until today it was really bad. I got through it talking to all my real friends and then it led up to watching your video and I feel so much better I love you man. We are all on the path to success and greatness.😊
I've always wanted to be a video game programmer, ever since I was in high school it's all I've wanted to do. Also I'm working on a business project on the side of my current job that I've been getting flack from family, because they believe that it's not what I should do. I'm starting this next semester on my CS degree:) It's hard to be vocal about your passions, but you just gotta go for it regardless of what others think or tell you what you should do.
hey buddy for real im 5 10 200 pounds bench over 350 jacked as can be look real good etc etc etc whatever. i know exactly what you are talking about.we are all vulnerable when i saw this i was blown away. you are in no way stupid or just trying to self justify anything props to you for doing what you did i hope everyone can grow from this.
This is an excellent video. At one point I was very depressed and with support, I was able turn my life around. It's really hard to turn things around without the right kind of help, but this is great advice for people facing adversity. Thanks for having the balls to put this out there.
Thank you boogie.. Thank you so much. For the longest time, I felt as if I could never achieve anything I really, really, wanted too. I've had to watch this video 10 times before I was able to finally realize that I can still fight through the all this bullshit and grab hold of what I have left and make my dreams come true.
There are plenty of things I want to do in my life, but never had the motivation to try, and now, thanks to you, I do.
Thank you again boogie, you pretty much saved me
I am feeling very down myself, your genuine nature, words and advice has helped me in a Dark hour. Thank you Boogie 💙
Keep focusing on what it would be like if you had someone to talk to. Notice nothing but how much closer you are getting to being able to connect with people and live the life you want. You posted this yesturday and now I'm connecting with you and I believe I understand. You made this happen. Keep going and don't stop and more of the same will happen.
I started watching your videos about one hour ago, and sir you are my fav youtuber hands down. Thank you for everything.
Boogie, you are such an inspiration. I'm so glad that I came across your channel. You're, easily, my favorite youtuber.
wow, I saw your diablo 3 rant and thought you were this really crazy nerd, but then I saw this video and realized you're just a regular guy. This probably one of the most useful 7 minutes I've ever spent. You're very inspiring. Keep up the good work.
I always want to become a better person. I want to help others out with depression. I have suffered mental health and anxiety. It will be good to talk it out of suicidal thoughts.
I'm depressed, you help a lot boogie. You're part of the inspiration I had making a video about it. thank you buddy!
Im 17 and if it wasnt for this video I didnt even know myself that I was suffering from a severe depression... im an artist: I love music (guitar, piano even djing), I love drawing (mainly video game art) and simply love video games all my life... im surrounded by a society that if you dont achieve high qualifications and focus solely on education you are a nobody... boogie you just saved me from destroying myself... I was going to do stupid things but you opened my eyes thanks... so much.......
My goal is to become a psychologist (in a doctoral program), but more than that I hope to find someone to be happy with and come home to. Laugh at others and ourselves together. All of feels awkward as I write it, but that is what feels most important to me.
I want to be in control of my life and be comfortable - I am far from it, and the hurdles seem daunting. I have many passions and currently plan to become a games journalist, though things can change. This video helped me a lot. Thanks, Steven.
I want to be a good person that sees the best in people and lifts them up rather puts them down. I am always trying to be that person, but sometimes bitterness wins; bitterness regarding how many people seem to be so passionate about abusing others.
I want to be a top of the line programmer and game developer. I want to impact as many people positively as I can. I want to inspire, entertain, and aid those around me. And I want to find the love of my life and live in a house somewhere with her and our children.
I am so far from any of these right now, but to quote another of my favorite youtubers:
"If you want to do anything, anything at all, no matter how hard it may seem to do, the only thing you have to do is start." -Markiplier
Awesome video, Boogie. Awesome.
I want to be someone that has something to give to the world. I love music and I love making music. Even if the final product doesn't come out great, it always sounds good to me because I know the melody and the lyrics are a part of me. I'm young and dumb and I want to know everything about anything. I would like to share my life with someone that I can learn from and that can learn from me. I don't care so much for the money. I think I value the stupid, silly moments in life with the people I love, most. Being able to create a life and grow with the people I hold closest to me while still exploring the world sounds like my type of deal. I hesitated to write any of this down because I just didn't feel the need to write down my feelings and goals in the comment section of UA-cam. But I remembered the part of the video where you said "YOLO" lmao and it made me genuinely laugh. One day, I'll look back on this comment. And who knows what will happen between now and then but all I can and will do is fight for what I want. Thanks ma man
