The ironic part is this video is filled to the brim with short cut edits and memes to tickle the dopamine - good message but even this vessel for it has to be meta
@@TonkaTitan You gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette. But for real, it’s true and kinda sad that this is necessary. If I made this video differently, with a lot more calm B roll and occasionally my face, the average person would watch it less, so it doesn’t get recommended as much and the message spreads less. I don’t care if people think of me as a greedy brain rotten two faced UA-cam shyster, as long as I can help as many people as possible. I wish I would have seen a video like this earlier in my life, it would have saved me a lot of trouble but at least I can warn others.
gen z is addicted to everything because 1. everything is addictive these days 2. life sucks ass 3. the rise of depression and isolation and 4. the feeling of a lack of connectivity to your peers while being more connected than every before through social media
Life sucks ass because you don't change your behavior. Stop doing things that make you feel like shit. Work everyday to change your bad habits. It's not going to happen on its own. Wake up. Wake up.
@@Andygee1991 i’ve changed my behavior more than enough, i do things that make me happy every day, i don’t harm myself for the fun of it, but every time i sit alone in my room when everything goes quiet and i no longer have any distraction i’m left with a feeling of emptiness, of longing for something more, something better, i wish life was easier and i wish i was better at it, i wish people would be better, i wish i would be better, i wish i didn’t have depression, i wish my mom never left, i wish so many things that will never ever change, i wish life ultimately had any meaning, i wish i didn’t struggle to go to sleep and struggle even more to wake up every day of my life, depression isn’t as simple as not doing the things you don’t like, it’s about not liking anything anymore, why would i wanna wake up when i have to deal with some more bullshit every single day, why would i wanna do anything when it ultimately means nothing, yet i still do the things that are required of me and i still support my friends and family and the people i love, because happiness is the most valuable treasure that i will never truly be able to attain, i can have it for moments at a time but never be able to truly say i’m happy in life, i hate constantly being the outcast, i hate having to struggle through every step of everything every day just to be a normal fucking human being, i hate being futile, ultimately useless for anything other than the detriment of others, no matter how much i change my behavior, i can’t change me, i can’t change my past, and i especially can’t change the fact that one day i’m gonna die having abandoned every dream i’ve ever had, sad, and alone, forever trapped and tormented by the prison that is my own mind, reliving awful memories knowing i’m the only one left to blame, it’s easy to say as a happy person that you’re only doing this to yourself, but i can’t name a single thing i did on purpose within the last month that i didn’t think would bring me joy, life sucks because people suck, because the world sucks, not because i suck at being happy
Success is still achievable its just significantly harder now, the current state of the world is just the state of things, it's fucked up yeah 100% but as someone who's in his early 20s alot of the people I know in my age group would rather come up with excuses about how the world is completely stacked against them than try and solve any problems they have. Trying to buy property sucks, trying to make more money sucks but acting like you can't solve your own problems isn't gonna do anything.
Im from Gen X and I know Im never retiring. The trick is to find a job that you like enough that you dont want to retire. For me its electrical work. I genuinely love to solve electrical problems.
I try to be optimistic. But I genuinely believe our generation is doomed on all fronts. Relationships are cooked. Home costs are wild. Most food is GMO factory processed garbage. College degrees are increasingly worthless. Robots and AI are slowly taking over. Inflation is beyond bringing it back down without a global economic disaster. Everything has a subscription now. Things aren't built to last. Movies, TV shows, and music are objectively way worse. People are more anti-social and heavily medicated. Consumer debt is at an all-time high while savings are at an all-time low, and so on and so forth. I could go on for hours. It's GGs, boys.
@@Exigentable yes and let’s all live in complacency, passivity, and misery constantly reminding ourselves that there’s probably people out there with no limbs working a full time job at McDonalds as a trash can. While that line of thinking may be good to humble yourself every now and then, you shouldn’t let it bury you. I am thankful to be where I am in life, but it is also okay to desire more or feel discontent with your current situation.
I’d say that alcoholism addiction in gen x isn’t that common compared to a lot of the other stuff. There’s vaping, there’s attention medication, there’s caffeine, and there’s weed. If anything it super makes sense, it’s anxiety management and corporate performance enhancers. We are the generation that was told we could make a difference but constantly feel like we’re hitting a brick wall.
I assume you mean Gen z? I really don't get the caffeine one, unless you're drinking more than 1 monster a day (especially with no real reason). Vaping is rampant, but nicotine has always been very popular (we will see the long term downsides to vaping in the near future. Not sure about weed. A lot of people will smoke when they are 16-21 (Ofc I do know a couple of reres who smoke all day long big L). With thc carts it's way easier to abuse sadly. I really do hate when people talk about their anxiety. Like I guarantee 75% of them are blowing it out of proportion. We all have anxiety from time to time (sometime we have even worse spells), but we don't sit and complain. We know it'll get better, so we push on. If you can't do this then I'm sorry, but maybe you should start writing your goodbye notes 😂 Also I feel like every generation is the, "Generation to make a difference." Yet every generation messes up where it truly matters, and I highly doubt we will fix any important issues, like the generation that came before. Maybe we'll get it right one day, most likely not. We will all die, like the previous generations, in a new age. Where our past issues come together to fck the current generation. They fix said problems, repeat. I'm talking out of my ass on that last part lmao. But still a good video man! I just disagree is all
Attention medication when prescribed isn't really a performance enhancer, a lot of people get this wrong. ADHD is a recognised disability that can severely impede a person's daily functioning without medication.
Skateboarding has been one of the biggest life changing things for me. I’ve been doing it since I was 10 (25 now) but it has always given me an outdoor physical outlet that’s also creative and takes time and skill to hone. On top of that it’s a guaranteed social space that has potential to form a community. It really does check a lot of the boxes that we require as a species
I bet a kid who had a terrible childhood, a terrible accident or beaten up by some male Karen as a youth skater wont say the same. You were priviledged by being able to enjoy something most people hate or aren't even able to apreciate, and that is a blessing in itself. Remember always that you have the opportunity no one else has in this life and make the most of it, or become addicted to something and let that go away. It's your choice.
@@isky6541 A hobby that has killed people and caused bad injuries in the past. I know it because I'm a mountain biker, my hobby can also kill me if I'm not commited and aware. That's why I say it is a priviledge to do that, there's people who because their condition or experiences can't say the same. I've knew kids who had bad concussions and injuries in the bike and skateboard that wanted nothing to do after their accident.
As someone who grew up in Germany and tries to date, it's insane. Not just cause the damn apps are trash but because everyone smokes, drinks, parties and I don't. I have a lot of reasons not to. Add to that that I don't have social media and BOOM I'm isolated as hell. Great video, mate!
You're not alone. I hate social media (more precisely, I don't hate it per se, but I don't want to be in there) and it's not easy to continue with this lifestyle. But, tbh, my disliking of social media is more powerful than feelings of loneliness haha
a classmate of mine (class of 2015) just killed himself yesterday. If you don't have copes its brutal. Or if you're ugly. He got dealt a bad hand in life, and society ostracized him. No one checks in on others. everyone's too consumed with their own lives to even checkup on old classmates. I could've reached out to him, asked him how he was doing. I never did. I do feel a slight remorse. Im the oldest of gen Z, i was born in 97, you'll start to see your friends and peers offing themselves. I've witnessed my mates get addicted to meth, coke, weed, videogames, porn, caffeine, food, gym (underrated- but needs more attention- it is self harm) and countless other things. These days you need a supreme will to not kill yourself. If you're an unnattractive male it is exponentially worse. You really need to find something worth aiming towards that will lead to a more fulfilling life.
@@GINgerMCgee427 sorry bro. I'd say just try to avoid being gaslit by others into believing you can >just be confident bro, or just workout bro. There is no coping for the genetics you are given and society will push you to kill yourself if you try to be accepted by that society. Some of us get to live relatively normal lives. But others arent so lucky
@@ОгурецМолоко That’s not entirely true but it’s true enough like there’s parts of Alaska that aren’t owned by anyone yet but once the people live there now die and don’t have kids it becomes government property
Yeah I mean there's some good points in this video but I think it is kind of looking too hard for a dramatic narrative especially when he brought up the CIA
I try to avoid every addiction around I don't have tiktok,I don't vape or smoke, I don't drink alcohol, I forceably go away from gambling and I see caffine as a luxary instead of a drug. But even after all this I just get looked down at and bullied at some points because I'm "boring for not drinking" or the "weird one for not drinking caffine" Even if you try your hardest to have the best life possible people will just mock you because you aren't joining in everyone elses addiction including friends and family. At this point I just don't do all these things out of spite which is a really twisted reason to try and have a good life.
I share that feeling. I was basically the odd one out my whole life. Currently I have a partner who I love deeply. Though he has addictions, he's dropped most of them by now and I'm proud of him for that
You're addiction is feeling better than, especially if you admit you're doing it out of spite. That also isn't healthy. We should do what we think is good for us REGARDLESS of outside opinion. What's good and works for 1 person will be different for the next, so if you're lifestyle works for you why TF are you sitting in spite? Embrace your you.
@@TheOnlyLeel maybe he doesn’t resist doing addictive things to feel better than and spite the people around him. Maybe he does it to spite whoever tries to push these things onto us (corporations I guess?). When you deliberately resist their attempts of making a buck off of your misfortune, it’s like giving them a big 🖕
I’ve overcome alcohol and weed addiction and genuinely don’t crave either of those substances anymore. It definitely was a step in the right direction although I feel stunted by a cornography addiction that started in the 5th grade. It’s been by far the longest addiction I’ve had. Videos like these help put things into perspective. Just sharing my experience as a kid from 99’
@@lemonscentedgames3641 You have to become tried of feeling tired. When you're so disgusted with yourself that you feel like you're staring into a pit of despair, that's when you can channel your energy into breaking the addiction. Genuinely just channel your rage into becoming a better person
I am replacing the phone and gaming with drawing. Instead of looking at the phone, I draw in a notepad I can carry anywhere. I still play games at home, ones that respect my time.
@@moderndaycaveman8516just keep practicing. I started taking drawing seriously a couple months ago, and I improved a LOT. One thing that helps is not to compare your art to better artists, but instead compare it to your previous drawings.
Modern lifestyle is just toxic. Every friend I have got goes to sleep around 2-3 am to wake up around 6. They hate their job even though they supposedly studied for it. Always on Instagram, always on tiktok, always vaping. It seems that a minute of silence to the average gen z could drive him crazy. It worries me a lot too how I see that their critical thinking skills are decreasing as soon as they start working. They tell me how they lost some hair and feel anxious all the time. As soon as they have some free time they use it to feast on alcohol. The most obvious indicator of modernity being toxic for me is testosterone levels (even before depression rates) They get lower every year. I've seen 'alfa males' taking tests and their levels are going lower too. As long as you eat moden food, live in the modern city and use technology your levels will keep decreasing and you will suffer the consequences. Best video in a while nick ❤
Thank you so so much!!! ❤ Is it even a lifestyle if it makes you feel dead inside? All of our activities have just become crappy replacements of the original concepts. Echoes upon echoes create echoes that become so far removed from what being human used to entail, we’re slowly transitioning into becoming rats in skinner boxes, unless we do something about it.
@@bigytutoshd5146 amen bro, as a society we need deep healing. As a gen z myself the amount of psychological trauma and overwhelming suffering I’ve experienced is bonkers. Our spiritual is being entirely neglected. There is always hope.
@nickchamp2195 god, I fear for the future politics of America, and most likely the world. Anything regarding phones or the internet will be very hard to pass, I think. What's your opinion? I feel like in the future we will make very bad decions, "for the greater good" type stuff. I'm kinda just tweaking on that last part, so don't clip it
testosterone levels lowering is one of the ''issues'' people freak out about that i find weird. masculinity is always in danger brother, its the one constant thing about it. people have always complained about softer men and their low testosterone and you'll find thousands of studies from all the way back to the 60s. instead of accepting the fact that human biology is everchanging and our hormone levels etc. change to suit our enviorment. if a man doesnt need the hormone, his body wont make more. plus men's testosterone levels are supposed to change through their lives, like they get lower when they have kids and that happens for a reason. these hormones arent supposed to be a constant fixed supply.
Only the softest of snowflakes even think about masculinity. Those of us who actually are comfortable with our gender and sexuality have no desire or need to talk about T levels or how masculine we are. I'm a man, that isn't gonna change even if i had low T and decided to wear a dress.@goldenapple3952
The advice you gave at the end of the video is actually very similar to the actual methods used in therapy to work on frustration tolerance and harm reduction. That is to say it's actually really good advice for anyone trying to change their life.
Thank you! I did do research for the most effective ways to combat addiction and I was also speaking from personal experience, which methods in particular worked for me
working and being autistic is hell. The world is so loud, bright and scary, combined with trying to mask at work but not at home. I want to stop my addictions but if I try I will burn out so fast and for so long I'll become homeless. I'll come back if I am lucky enough to get disability pay
I love this video. As a gen z who quit their nicotine addiction and drinking, I have to also mention that the first step to breaking the addiction is to recognize that bad feeling you get and to start hating it. Your addiction is not an ‘escape’ or a ‘cope’ or something to ‘take the edge off’. It is money, time and health you are sacrificing for something short term to line the pockets of some rich guy who doesn’t mind that you die or lose your mind. You have to hate the habit and the industry. I also believe there is a space for faith in the conversation to some degree. If you’re someone who is a believer of whatever faith, recognize that doing harm to your mind and body will inevitably harm your spiritual health. It is all connected. Mind, body and spirit. If hundreds of other ppl (including myself) can quit the addictions and vices, you can 100%. Discipline sucks in the moment. But it’s the best form of self love. You’re controlling your actions now to reap the rewards later. May Allah make it easy for us all and to keep us on the straight path. We can do this.
That’s great to hear. I think Music is a universal language and I do also enjoy old horror films. I love the practical effects in them, the modern CGI just doesn’t hit the same!
Old horror films sounds like a cool hobby. I also enjoy old movies. But pretty much everything from late 80 up to 2000s is perfection to me. Up untill then there were still mostly practical effects that make it so much better
It's not just Gen Z, it's a societal issue. My 42 year old mom smokes weed, then smokes cigarettes, then drinks a coffee, then scrolls facebook, then needs another smoke. My grandfather, although he quit his alcoholism, now doomscrolls tiktok while having pool/snooker on the tv. It's not just the youth, it's the entire world. However. True rebellion is to fight against the status quo. Modern punks of this age are those who don't subscribe to any vices. That's my vision, to be a rebel in a capitalist world
The weird cult around monster drinks always pissed me off. Is it the brightly coloured cans? People will post pictures of a big collection of monster cans, the cans will appear in mood boards and aesthetic images. And it will often be the same people who go on about corporation bad etc. But binge buying the funny, emo culture, aesthetic energy drinks is an exception.
Caffeinated sugary drinks are effectively "drugs for kids". They have to be 18 to smoke cigarettes and have sex, 21 to buy alcohol and cannabis, but a 13 year old could buy an energy drink from a convenience store, chug it, feel super hyper and cranked up (effectively "high") and inevitably become addicted to the feeling despite the obvious harm they're doing to themselves. It definitely doesn't help that Monster and Red Bull sponsor a lot of these "X-Games" youth culture outlets in sports and media so it's basically ingrained into that particular stage of life, and I guess some people just never grow up from that. Not to mention they're already putting their bodies through Hell with energy drinks, which is probably why when they grow up and try drinking alcohol or smoking weed it starts to tip them overboard in terms of noticeable health damage, and they erroneously assume that it must be the alcohol or cannabis making them feel that way, but those were just the hairs that broke the Monster-fueled camel's back. I'm not saying either are good for you, but energy drinks are the foundation for feeling awful, yet if that's all you're doing you probably won't notice it unless you go out and smoke weed, which amplifies your body's feelings and thus makes you more cognizant of the damage you've done to it via chugging energy drinks since you were a teenager, or drink alcohol, which only further dehydrates you and amplifies how bad you feel from the damage done by energy drinks. So when it comes to why people feel attached to energy drinks, it's probably because that's their "high" that they've been addicted to since they were a teenager, and alternative "highs" only amplify the crap feeling the energy drinks have caused, yet they probably assume that it was the alcohol or other drugs that made them feel that way.
Dude, this video could be a replacement for psychotherapist session. I suffer from recurring depression and now I'm having the episode. I was dumped by my girlfriend and past two months I have been a potato. Sitting alone in my flat without friends or social interactions because i don't want to drink beer anymore and i hate small talks at bars. I feel like i had deep conversation with a friend. Thanks for the essay.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Knowing that I could help you in such a profound way is the reason I keep making these videos. I don’t care what anyone else says, as long as I can help people like you, I’m happy. So thank you so so much for sharing. ❤️
I know it feels like lifting the world for you rightnow, but try to get some positive momentum today, just do something, preferably excersise, clean the kitchen, hell anything will suffice, friends are not friends if they only want to meet you on their terms like a bar if they can't have the damn decency to talk to you while sober.

I was a heroin addict for about two decades. I can tell you one thing...your brain changes. You expect those dopamine hits...but the drug no longer does it enough and you actually feel better with money in your pocket going to the dope spot with the idea of possibly getting high rather than when you are actually doing the drug. Its weird. Its like this placebo effect. Also the lows become lower and you just get back to normal.
@@leetlbt You can do it. You are way stronger than you know. What worked for me is seeking mental health help and keeping some numbers I could call when I felt like things were getting bad. We older folks that did heroin for multiple decades are rare. Some of the stuff I have seen too..Im sure you have as well...just the shit that goes along with that lifestyle.
Extremely accurate I’ve been on and off Xanax and heroin for years and now I’ve replaced it with every few days buying ketamine just to get the high from going on the way there and back even though I barely do any of it because i dont even like the high but it keeps me mostly sober and not on the verge of death on a daily basis like i used to be

The best quote about addiction is “the opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety… it’s connection” we are becoming more and more disconnected with each generation and therefore more likely to have addictions
The world has always had alcoholics. But now we have so many more addictions than humanity has ever had to face and we're not adapted to any of this modern way of life. The decadence of the west will be our downfall.
I was addicted to monsters but stopped a lot of my addictions when I started taking E I realized I care about myself more when I am becoming something I want
Nothing makes you realize something is DEEPLY wrong with our world quite like reaching your goals and realizing it was a distraction. I broke my substance addictions, hit my career goals and got shredded physically... the things i hyperfocused on with "if i just can do *this* ill be happy finally" did absolutely nothing to quell that fundamental feeling that something is deeply wrong here. I think we almost create problems to focus on solving in order to avoid the much more opaque, complex issues with our lives/society because those problems are more ornless out of our hands
Haven’t touched my phone in more than 4 months. I’ve never been addicted to the social aspect of it but I recognize it as an open door that needed closing. Maybe it’s because of my autism that makes things so much more overwhelming. Most people are conformists, I noticed this fact back in HS. Many people are afraid of being outside of the common crowd, but that gives you the ability to look through a foreign lens.
I really needed to watch a video like this today. I’m so over doomscrolling on my smartphone, Been pondering, going back to a dumb phone or one that’s not smart with a screen
When I'm on day duty, I've been awake for ten minutes, and I'm usually happy if there's a video like this that I can listen to while making sandwiches and changing.
This is actually such a wake up call. I just turned 22 and have not saved a dime as I spend my time extra money on eating out and subscriptions. Society has programmed us to become consumers rather than producers. I’m commenting this as a way to hold myself accountable I want to come back to this video a month from now, a year from now and so on. I hope things will be better then😅. Thank you for this bro!
The opening alone is such strawman "this person totally exists y'all" hyperbole that I could not continue. The secondhand embarrassment was far too high. Please talk to actual people. No one is like this.
So glad I found your channel. It feels like we are the same person or our algorithms are very similar because even though I already knew everything you talked about in this video, you made such a perfect and detailed essay about this topic, it really felt like I was listening to myself.
Just a remark, social gatherings made around drinking have existed since Ales, Beer or any kind of alcohol have been brewed by humanity. In fact during medieval period Ale consumption is believed to be practically rivaled with water on some regions.
As a German, I have to say I agree with a lot of people in this video and also that our approach to alcohol is certainly not the best (I criticise it often enough myself). But I think it's a bit exaggerated to say that most people only pretend to have themselves under control. Legit all my close friends don't drink alcohol at all or maybe 1~2 times a month when we celebrate together. So I assume that the absolute majority here have themselves under control when it comes to alcohol. PS. I would also like to add that there is a world of difference between being drunk as a skunk and being slightly drunk. I never drink, but I'm usually a person who finds it very difficult to go out in large crowds. That's why I usually drink 1~2 beers before partying. That's usually enough for me, as I can't handle anything anyway and that's enough to enjoy the moment without feeling sick the next morning..
i am inexplicably unable to participate in addictive or obsessive behavior. thank you for deepening my understanding as to why i have no friends and am unable to participate in society. (this comment has been posted as a humorous statement to increase comprehension to other potential commenters who may actually relate to the video)
i agree somewhat. i do have addictive and obsessive behaviours but after a while i realize that those behaviours did not contribute to any of my pyramid of needs. so i get bored and depressed and move on. doing so does also make me lonely. but shallow passions and shallow relationships also make me feel depressed and lonely. you just can't win
@@startown4814 Well that certainly doesn't sound fun. All joking aside, I believe you have a chance to make something that better suits you out of your situation so long as you can sense those unwanted feelings there. It's largely because I don't have them that i feel this, but to a certain extent i think addictive/obsessive tenancies can be leveraged to your advantage if you're willing to work with yourself. It's all about understanding your situation, understanding what makes you tick and why, then deciding what it is you actually want from the world and slowly shaping yourself towards that. Isolation and emptiness work for me, but if it very much may be different for you. So long as it's what you truly want to do, you can make your way out this. It's probably difficult, and you probably have to ask a bunch of hard questions and be real with yourself, but it may just be worth doing. Best of luck to you.
Adhd meds are AWESOME!!! they remove literally 100% of my desire to check my phone while i am working and i find myself able to lock in on something for over an hour at a time taking just little breaks to pee and do something that doesnt lead to me to being distracted for a long time, its like the opposite of what it used to be, i used to take like 10 minutes doing sometbing until it got hard then id be sucked into a distraction for a long time

As a gen Z I recognized this problem early and felt the effects of it as well. Recognizing the problem and making the change has made me happier with myself and how I live life. Addicted to sedentary activities and wallowing in self pity is no way to live people, love yourself first and go do thing that YOU want to do. Don’t let other people’s opinions or perceptions have an effect on you💚🖤
A lot of this video misses the mark. I feel like this speaks mostly to the extreme examples that aren't true for the common person these days, save for the chronically online. I do agree that people are responsible for their own life and taking charge of it, but you make it seem like making any improvement is a 1-in-a-million chance that will almost assuredly fail. It's hard, yeah, but it's very doable, and most people make that decision at some point in their life.
Sorry if I made you feel like improvement is a one in a million chance. What I was trying to say is that failure is a part of the process and that failing to quit once doesn’t mean you’re doomed to forever fail, just keep trying. “Remember, you are in control, if you tell yourself no, your body must obey you” I personally think I do make it clear that quitting an addiction is more than possible, because people have done it many times before. Statistically, more people overcome their addictions than the ones that don’t. It’s just really tricky to overcome an addiction (or multiple) you weren’t even fully aware of, so I hope I could spread some awareness. And the whole narrative of “fighting your addiction” is a bit misleading imo, because beating an addiction feels much more like forgetting about it, because you know have so many better things to do. I mainly used Dr K and the sources healthy gamer.gg lists to help people overcome their addictions if they’re struggling. Be sure to check out drk and healthygamer.gg for advice by a board certified physician.
That probably has something to do with my surroundings as I grew up. Just an insane amount of alcoholics that started drinking at 14. In Eastern countries, alcohol is a pretty significant societal problem
@@nickchamp2195This is anecdotal, but it seems like Europe on average is worse with alcoholism than the US generally. I live in Texas, I’m currently working as a waiter at Texas Roadhouse and we get quite a lot of Europeans that come through. Last year had a Polish guy drink several drinks at the bar until management decided to cut him off as he started getting rowdy, then proceeded to stumble into the parking lot outside and was fucking around and yelling at people and trying to get inside cars for some reason. Never seen anyone before or after him get to that level of intoxication there
Yes, sadly. I wasn’t sure if it would be too much to remember, because when watching self help videos or Tips, most people will just feel better about themselves for having watched it and move on with their lives. So I try to space out the advice so it’s easier to remember and execute, I hope I can talk more about meditation in a future video.
I HAVE ONLY WATCHED 2 MINUTES OF THE VIDEO, AND YOU HAVE DESCRIBED MY CURRENT SAD SITUATION PERFECTLY, I GUESS MY PROBLEMS ARE MORE COMMON THAN I THOUGHT. I WILL GIVE IT A WATCH NOW.
Well, Beer used to be healthier than drinking water because of the brewing process, sometimes you gotta make some sacrifices. But you should NOT try to replace your tap water with beer in the long term, the life expectancy in the Middle Ages was much lower, so most of them probably didn’t get old enough to experience the severe liver damage and Cirrhosis caused by large amounts of prolonged alcohol consumption.

It always has been the damn phone, go outside, connect with people who also go outside, then go outside together. Get slowly but surely rewired to think and research activities outside when you are indoors
I have a vision of the world picking up meditation (at least 5min a day) and a daily brisk yoga stretch (make up your own stretching routine if you have to....you don't need to pay for a class/teacher. Just look up the easiest yoga stretches and pic three and add to it accordingly....NO EXCUSES), and get addicted to self love and helping others. Otherwise, like the video says, YOU WILL JUST BE CONSIDERED A LEECH. Take it from someone who's been down that road. Still working on myself(and will never stop), but am nowhere as bad as I used to be. I believe in you
Traditionally nicotine and opiates are considered the hardest things to quit. Based on my own experience I’m wondering if phone addiction will in the future be considered on par with those.
Opiates have a strong physical withdrawal though, Nicotine hasn't. It's addictive, anyway, I know. But it's way harder to quit something if you know what you'll buy into the next X days, like diarrhea, depression, etc.
Ive been homeless and on fentanyl and meth and off for years and my life is pretty good. Being homeless is one of the only ways to actually be a part of a community in our society.
an amazing video. a topic talked about but never in depth, the difficulties etc i am an addict ill admit im not proud but simply a great video. my proudest subscription
I'm literally an off grit farmer - most of my "boys" are back to league of legends again and i'm basically an asshole because i call them addicts. They rage at least twice a week on how shitty the game is - and 10 hours later they're back at it, again. That's the behaivior of a hard drug addict.
I liked this video, it relatively simple for this topic and I think does a great job at finding an easy starter solution to a very big problem. As someone who can proudly say I never gotten addicted to my phone, I have still struggled to even do things just because I have such bad depression. This stuff is more or less what I've been getting myself to do in order to get myself to do thing and not only does it work but it feels great too. Good job!
8:37 nah tbh I deleted all my social medias including the UA-cam app, I only watch it on my pc or from the web page on my phone now so yt shorts arent shoved into my face, but even after deleting them all I was still able to keep in contact with friends. You really aren't missing out on much by deleting social media guys!!!
I think a lot of people complain about modern issues that plague young peoples conscious and life experiences but not nearly as many people discuss solutions and steps to take to address these internal struggles we all face. I appreciate this video and how you laid out the concepts of will power and discipline to help us find better alternatives to these super stimuli we have all the time. I think its also nice that you discussed how finding alternatives can also feed right back into those original addictive traits and I think people don't acknowledge that nearly enough. In short thank you.
11:17 The side effects are extremely bad. I was on SSRIs for 4 years. 60 degrees felt like 80, I sweat all the time, had more fatigue, stomach ulcers, worse 🩸, etc. They're horrible and my brain never went back to normal.
Man, your videos are so deep. I think now i have some kind of connection with you (maybe it is one more online 21st century thing). Your thoughts in this video somehow aligned with mine. Keep making this type content. I think it gives insights for almost everybody (except ones who doomscolled this vid). Heck now i want some irl friends like you
Thank you so much! I did make a whole video on Parasocial relationships and logically, I never met you so we can’t be friends in that way. But I think we might be kindred spirits if our thoughts align. I’ll definitely keep making content and you can join my discord server if you want to chat with me, it’s in the description. It’s definitely complicated because I do love my viewers and subscribers as well in a parasocial way, but it’s slowly starting to become impossible to be friends with every single one of them.
I observed the addiction the other day. My friend group went out to get a steak. A rare treat for all of us, it was someone's birthday as well. I noticed, basically everyone was smoking. I don't know the stats. But I curios and think the amount of people that smoke is much higher now then what it was 10-20 years ago. Or at least the amount of millanials and Gen Z is really high
Most of my friends have started vaping during the past couple of years, and some have started smoking too. I’m the only one that hasn’t, for me I’m mainly addicted to social media and endlessly doomscrolling.
Genuinely good advice on here. I used a lot of these methods to pull myself out of depression. There were some times I was actually considering just necking it. I didn't want to become a pill slave that would also have the chance of just making me want to end things. Wallowing in this stuff will get you in the end, so working on it and pulling yourself out of addictive cycles is the key. I also WAS an introvert, but pulling myself out of my "comfortzone" actually free'd me. I'm a friggin shift lead now and in charge of people.
As a gen z i think we are getting more addicted to things because we lack connection
Yep disconnected and bored
We lack being part of something higher than ourselves

Trying to buy property sucks, trying to make more money sucks but acting like you can't solve your own problems isn't gonna do anything.

I’d say that alcoholism addiction in gen x isn’t that common compared to a lot of the other stuff. There’s vaping, there’s attention medication, there’s caffeine, and there’s weed. If anything it super makes sense, it’s anxiety management and corporate performance enhancers. We are the generation that was told we could make a difference but constantly feel like we’re hitting a brick wall.
I assume you mean Gen z? I really don't get the caffeine one, unless you're drinking more than 1 monster a day (especially with no real reason). Vaping is rampant, but nicotine has always been very popular (we will see the long term downsides to vaping in the near future. Not sure about weed. A lot of people will smoke when they are 16-21 (Ofc I do know a couple of reres who smoke all day long big L). With thc carts it's way easier to abuse sadly.
I really do hate when people talk about their anxiety. Like I guarantee 75% of them are blowing it out of proportion. We all have anxiety from time to time (sometime we have even worse spells), but we don't sit and complain. We know it'll get better, so we push on. If you can't do this then I'm sorry, but maybe you should start writing your goodbye notes 😂 Also I feel like every generation is the, "Generation to make a difference." Yet every generation messes up where it truly matters, and I highly doubt we will fix any important issues, like the generation that came before. Maybe we'll get it right one day, most likely not. We will all die, like the previous generations, in a new age. Where our past issues come together to fck the current generation. They fix said problems, repeat.
I'm talking out of my ass on that last part lmao. But still a good video man! I just disagree is all
Yet they don’t have real reasons to drink yet there shouldn’t be any alcoholism it hasn’t started yet

Attention medication when prescribed isn't really a performance enhancer, a lot of people get this wrong. ADHD is a recognised disability that can severely impede a person's daily functioning without medication.

Skateboarding has been one of the biggest life changing things for me. I’ve been doing it since I was 10 (25 now) but it has always given me an outdoor physical outlet that’s also creative and takes time and skill to hone. On top of that it’s a guaranteed social space that has potential to form a community. It really does check a lot of the boxes that we require as a species
I bet a kid who had a terrible childhood, a terrible accident or beaten up by some male Karen as a youth skater wont say the same. You were priviledged by being able to enjoy something most people hate or aren't even able to apreciate, and that is a blessing in itself.

I do feel a slight remorse. Im the oldest of gen Z, i was born in 97, you'll start to see your friends and peers offing themselves. I've witnessed my mates get addicted to meth, coke, weed, videogames, porn, caffeine, food, gym (underrated- but needs more attention- it is self harm) and countless other things.

Modern lifestyle is just toxic.
Every friend I have got goes to sleep around 2-3 am to wake up around 6. They hate their job even though they supposedly studied for it. Always on Instagram, always on tiktok, always vaping. It seems that a minute of silence to the average gen z could drive him crazy.
It worries me a lot too how I see that their critical thinking skills are decreasing as soon as they start working. They tell me how they lost some hair and feel anxious all the time. As soon as they have some free time they use it to feast on alcohol.
The most obvious indicator of modernity being toxic for me is testosterone levels (even before depression rates)
They get lower every year. I've seen 'alfa males' taking tests and their levels are going lower too. As long as you eat moden food, live in the modern city and use technology your levels will keep decreasing and you will suffer the consequences.

testosterone levels lowering is one of the ''issues'' people freak out about that i find weird. masculinity is always in danger brother, its the one constant thing about it. people have always complained about softer men and their low testosterone and you'll find thousands of studies from all the way back to the 60s. instead of accepting the fact that human biology is everchanging and our hormone levels etc. change to suit our enviorment. if a man doesnt need the hormone, his body wont make more. plus men's testosterone levels are supposed to change through their lives, like they get lower when they have kids and that happens for a reason. these hormones arent supposed to be a constant fixed supply.
Only the softest of snowflakes even think about masculinity. Those of us who actually are comfortable with our gender and sexuality have no desire or need to talk about T levels or how masculine we are. I'm a man, that isn't gonna change even if i had low T and decided to wear a dress.@goldenapple3952

I love this video. As a gen z who quit their nicotine addiction and drinking, I have to also mention that the first step to breaking the addiction is to recognize that bad feeling you get and to start hating it. Your addiction is not an ‘escape’ or a ‘cope’ or something to ‘take the edge off’. It is money, time and health you are sacrificing for something short term to line the pockets of some rich guy who doesn’t mind that you die or lose your mind. You have to hate the habit and the industry. I also believe there is a space for faith in the conversation to some degree. If you’re someone who is a believer of whatever faith, recognize that doing harm to your mind and body will inevitably harm your spiritual health. It is all connected. Mind, body and spirit. If hundreds of other ppl (including myself) can quit the addictions and vices, you can 100%. Discipline sucks in the moment. But it’s the best form of self love. You’re controlling your actions now to reap the rewards later. May Allah make it easy for us all and to keep us on the straight path. We can do this.
Glad to say I'm only addicted to music and old horror films and left my energy drink addiction in the past.

Old horror films sounds like a cool hobby. I also enjoy old movies. But pretty much everything from late 80 up to 2000s is perfection to me. Up untill then there were still mostly practical effects that make it so much better
It's not just Gen Z, it's a societal issue. My 42 year old mom smokes weed, then smokes cigarettes, then drinks a coffee, then scrolls facebook, then needs another smoke. My grandfather, although he quit his alcoholism, now doomscrolls tiktok while having pool/snooker on the tv. It's not just the youth, it's the entire world.
However. True rebellion is to fight against the status quo. Modern punks of this age are those who don't subscribe to any vices. That's my vision, to be a rebel in a capitalist world

The weird cult around monster drinks always pissed me off. Is it the brightly coloured cans? People will post pictures of a big collection of monster cans, the cans will appear in mood boards and aesthetic images. And it will often be the same people who go on about corporation bad etc. But binge buying the funny, emo culture, aesthetic energy drinks is an exception.
I’m Christian but I found out after that monster is supported by satanists or had some promotion a while ago with that sort of agenda
Caffeinated sugary drinks are effectively "drugs for kids". They have to be 18 to smoke cigarettes and have sex, 21 to buy alcohol and cannabis, but a 13 year old could buy an energy drink from a convenience store, chug it, feel super hyper and cranked up (effectively "high") and inevitably become addicted to the feeling despite the obvious harm they're doing to themselves. It definitely doesn't help that Monster and Red Bull sponsor a lot of these "X-Games" youth culture outlets in sports and media so it's basically ingrained into that particular stage of life, and I guess some people just never grow up from that.
Not to mention they're already putting their bodies through Hell with energy drinks, which is probably why when they grow up and try drinking alcohol or smoking weed it starts to tip them overboard in terms of noticeable health damage, and they erroneously assume that it must be the alcohol or cannabis making them feel that way, but those were just the hairs that broke the Monster-fueled camel's back. I'm not saying either are good for you, but energy drinks are the foundation for feeling awful, yet if that's all you're doing you probably won't notice it unless you go out and smoke weed, which amplifies your body's feelings and thus makes you more cognizant of the damage you've done to it via chugging energy drinks since you were a teenager, or drink alcohol, which only further dehydrates you and amplifies how bad you feel from the damage done by energy drinks.
So when it comes to why people feel attached to energy drinks, it's probably because that's their "high" that they've been addicted to since they were a teenager, and alternative "highs" only amplify the crap feeling the energy drinks have caused, yet they probably assume that it was the alcohol or other drugs that made them feel that way.
Dude, this video could be a replacement for psychotherapist session. I suffer from recurring depression and now I'm having the episode. I was dumped by my girlfriend and past two months I have been a potato. Sitting alone in my flat without friends or social interactions because i don't want to drink beer anymore and i hate small talks at bars. I feel like i had deep conversation with a friend. Thanks for the essay.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Knowing that I could help you in such a profound way is the reason I keep making these videos.
I don’t care what anyone else says, as long as I can help people like you, I’m happy.
So thank you so so much for sharing. ❤️
I know it feels like lifting the world for you rightnow, but try to get some positive momentum today, just do something, preferably excersise, clean the kitchen, hell anything will suffice, friends are not friends if they only want to meet you on their terms like a bar if they can't have the damn decency to talk to you while sober. Change starts with you at the end of the day, you got this lil bro❤
@@rubicschizo2456 thanks dude. I do really appreciate it. I hope you're doing great and I wish you never give up as well 🥰
I censored the video because UA-cam put limited ads on it for some time. As to why the cat is censored, I guess you can’t show your pu55y on UA-cam lol
That’s so odd. I’ve never seen them blur something like that before

There’s also a major lack of care because our plan is literally being destroyed and no one cares. Their retirement age has been raised to 70. I’m not gonna live to get to retire. Why would I want to grow old? 😂
Basically true...WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ADDICTED TO BEING HIGH OR DRUNK JUST TO DROWN THE PAIN OF "LIVING" IN A SUCH AWFULLY RIGGED AND CORRUPT WORLD LIKE OURS?

I was a heroin addict for about two decades.
I can tell you one thing...your brain changes. You expect those dopamine hits...but the drug no longer does it enough and you actually feel better with money in your pocket going to the dope spot with the idea of possibly getting high rather than when you are actually doing the drug. Its weird. Its like this placebo effect.
Also the lows become lower and you just get back to normal.
@@leetlbt You can do it. You are way stronger than you know. What worked for me is seeking mental health help and keeping some numbers I could call when I felt like things were getting bad.
We older folks that did heroin for multiple decades are rare. Some of the stuff I have seen too..Im sure you have as well...just the shit that goes along with that lifestyle.
Yes, that’s the existence of a heroin addict.
Extremely accurate I’ve been on and off Xanax and heroin for years and now I’ve replaced it with every few days buying ketamine just to get the high from going on the way there and back even though I barely do any of it because i dont even like the high but it keeps me mostly sober and not on the verge of death on a daily basis like i used to be
@@z.s.7992 aye your right mate most my mates who starting raking the gear are all dead now 63 personal friends are dead

I drink an energy drink once a day, and I have a job that requires me to walk around for 8 hours cleaning Graffiti, posters, and stickers. My feet hurt by the end, and have about 15,000 or 20,000 steps by the end.

The best quote about addiction is “the opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety… it’s connection” we are becoming more and more disconnected with each generation and therefore more likely to have addictions
Ironically I forgot to take mine meds until you said so at 1:00 so thank you for reminding me to try and get addicted to them
Haha no problem. It should be fine if it’s been accurately prescribed!
Hope you get better!
Lil bro completely forgot about the entire prohibition era 😂
Thought the same. Used to be a worldwide problem that men would spend their income on drinking
None of this is anything new, the difference is now people do these things while alone and on their phones.
80's heroin epidemic... always the same
The world has always had alcoholics. But now we have so many more addictions than humanity has ever had to face and we're not adapted to any of this modern way of life. The decadence of the west will be our downfall.

Attack the D point!

You said try. You already lost
Nothing makes you realize something is DEEPLY wrong with our world quite like reaching your goals and realizing it was a distraction. I broke my substance addictions, hit my career goals and got shredded physically... the things i hyperfocused on with "if i just can do *this* ill be happy finally" did absolutely nothing to quell that fundamental feeling that something is deeply wrong here. I think we almost create problems to focus on solving in order to avoid the much more opaque, complex issues with our lives/society because those problems are more ornless out of our hands
Haven’t touched my phone in more than 4 months. I’ve never been addicted to the social aspect of it but I recognize it as an open door that needed closing. Maybe it’s because of my autism that makes things so much more overwhelming. Most people are conformists, I noticed this fact back in HS. Many people are afraid of being outside of the common crowd, but that gives you the ability to look through a foreign lens.
This was so rampant among millennial tech bros c. 2010 that the guy who wrote "Still Alive" from Portal wrote a song about it, "I feel fantastic".
Ur honestly one of the best UA-camr that go over stuff like this I feel like I finally found someone that thinks like me
Thank you once again, I’m really glad you found my channel :)

The official breakfast of champions
hell yea
I really needed to watch a video like this today. I’m so over doomscrolling on my smartphone, Been pondering, going back to a dumb phone or one that’s not smart with a screen
Bro really just casually drops an addiction recovery video.
11 min ago at 3:40am is crazy but worth it for content ✊🏾
When I'm on day duty, I've been awake for ten minutes, and I'm usually happy if there's a video like this that I can listen to while making sandwiches and changing.
This is actually such a wake up call. I just turned 22 and have not saved a dime as I spend my time extra money on eating out and subscriptions. Society has programmed us to become consumers rather than producers. I’m commenting this as a way to hold myself accountable I want to come back to this video a month from now, a year from now and so on. I hope things will be better then😅. Thank you for this bro!
Thank you for watching! It would be awesome if you stuck to your word, I believe you can do it!
2 month check in? How’s it going
I’ve been having a terrible time ever since I quit my job. This video was very helpful. I’m really struggling. Thank you
I’m glad I could help and thank you so much for sharing! Wishing you the best!!!
Blessed as a millennial to know and remember life before phones vividly.
We're all addicted to some kind of slop. It sucks.
The opening alone is such strawman "this person totally exists y'all" hyperbole that I could not continue. The secondhand embarrassment was far too high. Please talk to actual people. No one is like this.
All these trite “self improvement” doomsayer male essayists really seem to be infecting the platform aren’t they
as a gen z person I could definitely see someone doing that for at least a day
So glad I found your channel. It feels like we are the same person or our algorithms are very similar because even though I already knew everything you talked about in this video, you made such a perfect and detailed essay about this topic, it really felt like I was listening to myself.
Thank you so much! It’s always great to find like minded people!!!
Just a remark, social gatherings made around drinking have existed since Ales, Beer or any kind of alcohol have been brewed by humanity. In fact during medieval period Ale consumption is believed to be practically rivaled with water on some regions.
The social aspect of addiction was spot on ! It sucks when you try to quit something that’s so social so when you do you’re faced with loneliness
As a German, I have to say I agree with a lot of people in this video and also that our approach to alcohol is certainly not the best (I criticise it often enough myself). But I think it's a bit exaggerated to say that most people only pretend to have themselves under control. Legit all my close friends don't drink alcohol at all or maybe 1~2 times a month when we celebrate together. So I assume that the absolute majority here have themselves under control when it comes to alcohol.
PS. I would also like to add that there is a world of difference between being drunk as a skunk and being slightly drunk. I never drink, but I'm usually a person who finds it very difficult to go out in large crowds. That's why I usually drink 1~2 beers before partying. That's usually enough for me, as I can't handle anything anyway and that's enough to enjoy the moment without feeling sick the next morning..
Can’t believe you held my attention for 24 minutes. I’m now addicted to your videos.
0:50 hell yeah
Agree
I really appreciate this. Thank you for putting in the time to create this ❤👏🏻
i am inexplicably unable to participate in addictive or obsessive behavior. thank you for deepening my understanding as to why i have no friends and am unable to participate in society.
(this comment has been posted as a humorous statement to increase comprehension to other potential commenters who may actually relate to the video)
im sure someone else must be out there with aspergers
i agree somewhat. i do have addictive and obsessive behaviours but after a while i realize that those behaviours did not contribute to any of my pyramid of needs. so i get bored and depressed and move on. doing so does also make me lonely. but shallow passions and shallow relationships also make me feel depressed and lonely. you just can't win
@@startown4814 Well that certainly doesn't sound fun. All joking aside, I believe you have a chance to make something that better suits you out of your situation so long as you can sense those unwanted feelings there. It's largely because I don't have them that i feel this, but to a certain extent i think addictive/obsessive tenancies can be leveraged to your advantage if you're willing to work with yourself. It's all about understanding your situation, understanding what makes you tick and why, then deciding what it is you actually want from the world and slowly shaping yourself towards that. Isolation and emptiness work for me, but if it very much may be different for you. So long as it's what you truly want to do, you can make your way out this. It's probably difficult, and you probably have to ask a bunch of hard questions and be real with yourself, but it may just be worth doing. Best of luck to you.
SUCH a well made explanation, and a HUGE wake up call. Genuinely sending this to all my closest friends. Keep it up!!
Thank you very much!!! It helps immensely!
Adhd meds are AWESOME!!! they remove literally 100% of my desire to check my phone while i am working and i find myself able to lock in on something for over an hour at a time taking just little breaks to pee and do something that doesnt lead to me to being distracted for a long time, its like the opposite of what it used to be, i used to take like 10 minutes doing sometbing until it got hard then id be sucked into a distraction for a long time
ADHD meds made my punching litterly bounce off of some arsehole bugging me... Oh and me body was tossed like a peice of meat once because the meds made me litterly a drolling retarded. worst experience of me life mait wish i had me self a damn whiskey.

As a gen Z I recognized this problem early and felt the effects of it as well. Recognizing the problem and making the change has made me happier with myself and how I live life. Addicted to sedentary activities and wallowing in self pity is no way to live people, love yourself first and go do thing that YOU want to do. Don’t let other people’s opinions or perceptions have an effect on you💚🖤
A lot of this video misses the mark. I feel like this speaks mostly to the extreme examples that aren't true for the common person these days, save for the chronically online. I do agree that people are responsible for their own life and taking charge of it, but you make it seem like making any improvement is a 1-in-a-million chance that will almost assuredly fail. It's hard, yeah, but it's very doable, and most people make that decision at some point in their life.
"Who do you know that drinks in moderation?" Everyone I know except for a few people who very clearly don't have their life in order.
Sorry if I made you feel like improvement is a one in a million chance.
What I was trying to say is that failure is a part of the process and that failing to quit once doesn’t mean you’re doomed to forever fail, just keep trying.
“Remember, you are in control, if you tell yourself no, your body must obey you” I personally think I do make it clear that quitting an addiction is more than possible, because people have done it many times before.
Statistically, more people overcome their addictions than the ones that don’t.
It’s just really tricky to overcome an addiction (or multiple) you weren’t even fully aware of, so I hope I could spread some awareness.
And the whole narrative of “fighting your addiction” is a bit misleading imo, because beating an addiction feels much more like forgetting about it, because you know have so many better things to do. I mainly used Dr K and the sources healthy gamer.gg lists to help people overcome their addictions if they’re struggling. Be sure to check out drk and healthygamer.gg for advice by a board certified physician.
That probably has something to do with my surroundings as I grew up.
Just an insane amount of alcoholics that started drinking at 14.
In Eastern countries, alcohol is a pretty significant societal problem
@@fattaman777i drink in moderation
@@nickchamp2195This is anecdotal, but it seems like Europe on average is worse with alcoholism than the US generally. I live in Texas, I’m currently working as a waiter at Texas Roadhouse and we get quite a lot of Europeans that come through. Last year had a Polish guy drink several drinks at the bar until management decided to cut him off as he started getting rowdy, then proceeded to stumble into the parking lot outside and was fucking around and yelling at people and trying to get inside cars for some reason. Never seen anyone before or after him get to that level of intoxication there
Dude, this video is true gem! Thank you!
I’m very glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for watching!!!
Full escaping addiction guide
except you skipped meditation
Yes, sadly. I wasn’t sure if it would be too much to remember, because when watching self help videos or Tips, most people will just feel better about themselves for having watched it and move on with their lives.
So I try to space out the advice so it’s easier to remember and execute, I hope I can talk more about meditation in a future video.
I HAVE ONLY WATCHED 2 MINUTES OF THE VIDEO, AND YOU HAVE DESCRIBED MY CURRENT SAD SITUATION PERFECTLY, I GUESS MY PROBLEMS ARE MORE COMMON THAN I THOUGHT. I WILL GIVE IT A WATCH NOW.
OK THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.
damm dont tell bro the medieval dudes changed tap water with beer.
Well, Beer used to be healthier than drinking water because of the brewing process, sometimes you gotta make some sacrifices.
But you should NOT try to replace your tap water with beer in the long term, the life expectancy in the Middle Ages was much lower, so most of them probably didn’t get old enough to experience the severe liver damage and Cirrhosis caused by large amounts of prolonged alcohol consumption.
Aint that a myth
No, it's not @@skinnybuggo

It always has been the damn phone, go outside, connect with people who also go outside, then go outside together. Get slowly but surely rewired to think and research activities outside when you are indoors
I have a vision of the world picking up meditation (at least 5min a day) and a daily brisk yoga stretch (make up your own stretching routine if you have to....you don't need to pay for a class/teacher. Just look up the easiest yoga stretches and pic three and add to it accordingly....NO EXCUSES), and get addicted to self love and helping others.
Otherwise, like the video says, YOU WILL JUST BE CONSIDERED A LEECH. Take it from someone who's been down that road. Still working on myself(and will never stop), but am nowhere as bad as I used to be. I believe in you
Traditionally nicotine and opiates are considered the hardest things to quit. Based on my own experience I’m wondering if phone addiction will in the future be considered on par with those.
Opiates have a strong physical withdrawal though, Nicotine hasn't. It's addictive, anyway, I know. But it's way harder to quit something if you know what you'll buy into the next X days, like diarrhea, depression, etc.
Ive been homeless and on fentanyl and meth and off for years and my life is pretty good. Being homeless is one of the only ways to actually be a part of a community in our society.

Thank you for listening! I truthfully did not expect it to reciprocate with so many people

@@josephbernard5240 Not quite when youve been where i have
the intro made me just realize that we're already living in zhe pods.
I'm literally an off grit farmer - most of my "boys" are back to league of legends again and i'm basically an asshole because i call them addicts. They rage at least twice a week on how shitty the game is - and 10 hours later they're back at it, again. That's the behaivior of a hard drug addict.
I have a friend like that. And that behaviour been lasting for at least 5 years.
I liked this video, it relatively simple for this topic and I think does a great job at finding an easy starter solution to a very big problem. As someone who can proudly say I never gotten addicted to my phone, I have still struggled to even do things just because I have such bad depression. This stuff is more or less what I've been getting myself to do in order to get myself to do thing and not only does it work but it feels great too. Good job!
8:37 nah tbh I deleted all my social medias including the UA-cam app, I only watch it on my pc or from the web page on my phone now so yt shorts arent shoved into my face, but even after deleting them all I was still able to keep in contact with friends. You really aren't missing out on much by deleting social media guys!!!
I think a lot of people complain about modern issues that plague young peoples conscious and life experiences but not nearly as many people discuss solutions and steps to take to address these internal struggles we all face. I appreciate this video and how you laid out the concepts of will power and discipline to help us find better alternatives to these super stimuli we have all the time. I think its also nice that you discussed how finding alternatives can also feed right back into those original addictive traits and I think people don't acknowledge that nearly enough. In short thank you.
11:17 The side effects are extremely bad. I was on SSRIs for 4 years. 60 degrees felt like 80, I sweat all the time, had more fatigue, stomach ulcers, worse 🩸, etc. They're horrible and my brain never went back to normal.
Man, your videos are so deep. I think now i have some kind of connection with you (maybe it is one more online 21st century thing). Your thoughts in this video somehow aligned with mine. Keep making this type content. I think it gives insights for almost everybody (except ones who doomscolled this vid).
Heck now i want some irl friends like you
Thank you so much!
I did make a whole video on Parasocial relationships and logically, I never met you so we can’t be friends in that way. But I think we might be kindred spirits if our thoughts align.
I’ll definitely keep making content and you can join my discord server if you want to chat with me, it’s in the description.
It’s definitely complicated because I do love my viewers and subscribers as well in a parasocial way, but it’s slowly starting to become impossible to be friends with every single one of them.
@@nickchamp2195 yeah, for that reason i will download discord back. Love you back, man
I observed the addiction the other day. My friend group went out to get a steak. A rare treat for all of us, it was someone's birthday as well. I noticed, basically everyone was smoking. I don't know the stats. But I curios and think the amount of people that smoke is much higher now then what it was 10-20 years ago. Or at least the amount of millanials and Gen Z is really high
Most of my friends have started vaping during the past couple of years, and some have started smoking too. I’m the only one that hasn’t, for me I’m mainly addicted to social media and endlessly doomscrolling.
I'm the only person in my group who went from smoking to vaping. I still smoke like a steam engine but I don't stink or smoke a pack a day anymore.
This was a great video in all facets. Very detailed and informative and even provides tips to work on said addictions. Respect, and and thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for the feedback! It’s a great help that you’re letting me know what works!

Was thinking this lol
Thank you for making this video it’s truly enlightening and inspiring
I have drank so much monster energy over the years that i've become an antinatalist just in case i've contaminated my genetic code.
Genuinely good advice on here. I used a lot of these methods to pull myself out of depression. There were some times I was actually considering just necking it. I didn't want to become a pill slave that would also have the chance of just making me want to end things. Wallowing in this stuff will get you in the end, so working on it and pulling yourself out of addictive cycles is the key.
I also WAS an introvert, but pulling myself out of my "comfortzone" actually free'd me. I'm a friggin shift lead now and in charge of people.
