      It's like when they say "being aware that you have a problem it's the first step to fix it", ignoring that the problem of many of our generation is that we are stuck in that first step.

You might not have 1 hr and 28 min to watch the entire thing. I’ve watched the clip Bo uploaded to his channel of “All Eyes On Me” so many times.

I don't know much about the human mind or how people think, and people can think in all sorts of ways we can't even imagine, it's an interesting topic. I'm a bit of an overthinker, I'm constantly thinking about everything happening around me, but at the same time, I find it difficult to concentrate on certain things. Sometimes I don't think about what I do at all, but then again, my mind is always focused on something.

      @@bayonetababe9697 It's less he needs to worry about balding, and more lighting can make our hairlines look thinner than they normally do, which for men especially can be a freakout moment as receding hair is rarely a "I know this is happening" and more a surprise, you suddenly have a lot less hair than you used to in key areas. Because of that, if you have a colic and you didn't know it or forgot about it, seeing the top of your head can freak you out as you go "bald spot?!" but then your mom or friends can reassure you it's always been there. The lighting in this shot especially does make his hairline look receding at a glance, but yeah it's absolutely not and just a case of the light shining just right into his scalp.

      That line is so good because the "just like me" is said in a tone that implies the interpretation of "i am free" as "I have freedom" instead of "i am unpaid", the real meaning revealed by the following sentence.

    This is how I analyze myself every day. Replaying what I did in my head and criticizing myself, then criticizing myself for criticizing myself and thinking I should stop criticizing myself, which is also a form of self-criticism. Layers of metacognition. "I'm being a little pretentious. It's an instinct I have where I need everything I write to have some deeper meaning or something. Pretending to myself that I'm deep... it's pretty unlikable that I feel this desperate need to be seen as intelligent." Thank you for expressing this and making this, Bo.
    ...by writing this comment, am I trying to be seen as deep or intelligent? By writing what I just wrote, am I trying to be seen as deep or intelligent? And it reaches a point where you give up because it's an overload, and you "end" the video. (Only for it to happen many more times with different scenes.)

    It's insane how he takes such seemingly silly, surface-level cinematographic ideas and manages to see what they're able to perfectly represent. You wouldn't think this could go beyond a kind of experiment in how long you can troll your audience or take the recording software with frame-in-frames, but instead he uses it as a perfect visual analogy for overthinking and anxiety; he makes a thing, he talks about it, he critiques that talking, he critiques his critique, and so on until the original project is almost entirely blocked out by his own thoughts, where he loses sight of the original vision and can only think about how much he hates listening to himself overthinking. This masterfulness pervades his style; almost every metaphor he makes is near perfect in communicating/evoking its message/effect, the flow of his lyrics always draws the listener in and further communicates his message... where did this genius come from?

People see something on the internet and they react to it so much that it stops being about what they're reacting to and more about the reaction itself.
