Idk if this was intentional, but I've always thought of dark souls with a very similar concept. Unlike PvP games, there's no one else to compare yourself to. You'll never be unfairly disadvantaged due to someone else's skill and experience. Every problem you encounter is for you to reflect upon your own strategies and build. I always found the lack of others to blame strangely therapeutic. Much like in real life, focusing on yourself and not thinking about how others are doing can massively help you to reflect upon your own life.
100% its was, dark souls for me has a underlying feeling of humanity aswell as the showcasing of human will to prevail against all odds, not to mention as you say the fact that you can only look at yourself and plan that you had that failed, how you change it, if it needs changed or if something else needs changed and its all as you say similar to ones reflection of life. Appreciate the comment, Happy holidays and stay safe :D
Years ago I also had this problem, with friends or classmates going on to a 4 year or 6 year degree path and I had begun to work minimum wage jobs. Something that helped me was coming to terms that everyone's life is different, they took on higher education and the accolades that come with that but they also took on inflated costs of getting a degree and the years of debt that come with that. I took less education and a head start at trying many different jobs but took on the bad of having to get minimum wage, entry level jobs that may or may not lead to a certain career path. I also began to compare myself to my previous self and not to others current self. Me comparing myself to friends who took on a doctorate route wouldn't do me any good compared to comparing myself to who I was a year ago and working to be way better next year. Eventually though you come to realize that no one from your school days will even care to remember you as we all get stuck paying bills and dealing with life's pressures.
i agree i mean, in a very short amount of time people from your school days forgot/dont care about what you do, its a very momentary issue. Still i appreciate the comment and thank you for sharing, always love hearing about other people and there situations. Thanks again and stay safe :D
Nah man this shit is way too real😭😭. All of my friends will graduate next year and all I have been doing is switching majors like 3 times, hated every single thing and now I am here with no degree, no nothing and I have no clue what to with my life. I love your yaps, reminds me of when back in the day I would meet um with my 2 best friends and we would just yap on and on for hours on end.
Glad that you can get some comfortability from the vids, You’ll find your own muse soon brotha, to give u my pov although it doesn’t need to count for anything is that your doing sick still, you may not have a major and have swapped but you’ve been trying new stuff, plenty of time to find the right fit but you wouldn’t kno which one if u weren’t bold enough to try, but that’s just my PoV. Regardless happy holidays friend, appreciate you and stay safe :D
I'm a huge believer in big dreams, and never giving up on them. You don't want to look back and have regrets, right? And hey, you're never too old to go to college if that's your dream. People make so many excuses, but you've got to live your life to the fullest! I'm super inspired by people who are further along my career path.
Never stop chasing your dream, but obviously don’t be an idiot. Make sure u have shelter and food then after that the chase continues. I agree with pretty much all ur saying, people in different positions can be big motivating factors, cool how that works. Thanks for the comment and stay safe :D
Yeah I've got friends who are going to college and are getting great jobs and all that. I've got a childhood friend who I learned was just recently awarded with the title of best debater which did a number on my mental health. I've grown distant and unresponsive to all my friends because of comparison. I see myself as so much less than everybody. I didn't want college, and I just want a cozy job that I can do and be happy in. But I've been trying for many months, applying, but I just get the "we're sorry but you're not the best candidate". It hurts every time but I've grown numb to the feeling that I am not worthy. It's like a constant pain to just be awake and aware of how I am. It's turning me into a very cynical person which I don't know how I feel about. Just some venting I guess.
I’m sorry to hear that your feeling that way my friend, I am however glad that your being rejected isn’t stopping you from continuing the pursuit, you don’t actually realise how good of a trait that is to have. It’s a sort of resilience I feel. I’d also like to say that imo the joy of true friends is that it isn’t about what each other have or do, it’s about who each other are as humans, no job or accolades determine our person. That is of course my opinion apologies if I overstepped, I do hope that you can feel better soon and realise that you are uniquely you and that makes you special. Happy holidays friend and please do stay safe :D
@ You will be friend, your strong. Without sadness we don’t get happiness, you’re just fighting through so you can see the happy times. All the best :D
Thank you so much... This video could not have popped up for me at a better time. I've been struggling mentally alot recently, and this actually managed to get me out of my rut. Thanks alot, seriously!
Super glad to hear that, sorry for recent struggles and very surprised but overjoyed that I could help you in some way, struggles exist because without them there wouldn’t be easy times, growth is ever happening and you’ll be much stronger after. Happy holidays friend and please do stay safe :D
This is great. Something I used to compare myself to others is "How come other people can work a normal job and I can't?" I would get so depressed at some jobs I would just quit suddenly. I recently realized that is a good thing though, it means my mind wants a job that is more engaging and it won't settle for a shitty job. Jobs are just modern day slavery at the end of the day, you just have to find the most enjoyable slavery possible.
Finding a way to be atleast content with your job is so difficult, glad you could. Aswell thank you for sharing your pov and appreciate the words. Happy holidays and stay safe :D
just gotta find your own muse, that was myself in secondary school too (probably high school in america ages 13-18) but you just gotta enjoy yourself in school honestly, they are truly the best times of your life imo. wish i enjoyed them more than getting a job asap and missing out on some of the really fun years ygm. either way thanks for the comment i hope you feel better about ur situation soon and stay safe :D
I recently discovered at 19 yrs old that I want to become a successful screenwriter but I don't know why it took me so long to realize it and I lowkey hate myself for that. Is there any hope for me?
You could become a succesful screenwriter at 50. Talent, passion and hustle will make it possible at whatever age. Also you should look up the ages of some of the biggest actors when they made breakthroughs, some are in there late 40s,50s, you just gotta stay on course. Happy holidays, all the best and stay safe :D
@@happyy33 it's just that I feel like I wasted my years in high school. While in high school, I felt depressed . I couldn't feel happiness from anything. Things have been getting better recently, and I have discovered my passion of cinema, but I wish it happened sooner. Merry xmas to you and your family and hope everything turns out fine for you too.
@ I’m glad you’ve found your passion now. All the struggles from past times with help with writing those emotions into scripts. Merry Christmas right back at ya, wishing you and your family a healthy and happy new year. Stay safe friend :D
I’m all good friend don’t stress about me, i also don’t know if i should be worried that my voice comes across like that lmao. Either way I appreciate the genuine concern but I am as said fine my friend, happy holidays to you and stay safe :D
