Hey quiet, love these sorts of videos. You have amazing opinions and a good voice (literally and figuratively). I’d like to see more of these from you. Also your more rant-like videos are entertaining too :)
@@coldplaysgames6695 I like his videos too. I agree! He should definitely do more! :) Everything is mostly good, trips over his words when angry, but that's the passion, so it's cute, I guess. 😂
33 y/o male here always been an outcast in the sense of not conforming, Introverted in a way. Have a wife of 5 years a beautiful 18 month old girl and another baby on the way. never give up what makes you unique and not in that woke bs way. God bless all of you
26y old here, Asperger’s, always been who I wanted, can cause a lot of problems socially, but I know who my friends are. Congrats on your wife and kids
Message to creator: Thank you sm. This needs to be said more. I’m 19 and when I was younger I felt uncool cuz I felt that I wasn’t “hood enough”. I go from smoking weed to selling coke in a year just cuz I want to “fit in”. Had a seizure and almost died cuz I tried a fake perc and whatever was in the pressy almost killed me. Shipped my ass off to rehab and even over a year later, I was fully intending to going back to moving rock, cuz “that’s what gets you the cool points”. But luckily I got pulled out that shit my neighbors dad who threatened to call the police on me for selling on his property. Since then, we go to NA and he takes out for breakfast to check on me. 3 years later and I’m in technical school instead of dead. Thank you so much for preaching this. Too many of people I knew and loved haven’t been as lucky as me and died from pressys or from just wack shit Edit: just thanks again man 🙏
Thank god you changed your life around . Don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life. Believe in yourself and your dreams, then someday they will happen. 🙏
I was at work and a co worker said to me " I have never met anyone who actually lived by the Bible." That lead me to believe that most people who believe, don't actually live by their beliefs. That also lead me to believe that most don't really have anything to live by (or something like that).
48 year old Gen X'r here.....this is the motto of our entire generation, we never sought to fit in. Be yourself wasn't just a motto, it was a law of my generation. Being yourself does become easier with age if that's any sort of comfort.
Very true im a 50 yr old Gen Xer... and its the reason I really love our Generation... the only problem with our Gen is that we didn't speak up enough to the growning madness that our world is becoming... we went from free thinkers to a Generation of NPCs
@@vernonherbso fuckin true and based, no offence but sometimes it’s hard to understand anyone else feels for the elder half of GenZ and even the brainwashed moron kids of today, I wish it was easier to be ourselves. The societal pressure of brainwashing and norms are crazy
22 year old female here. Got caught up with some liberal extremist when I was 14 in high school. Teachers and friends told me that they believed I was transgender just because I wasn’t very feminine. I ended up being convinced and identified as trans for 4 YEARS. I’m healed now and stopped identifying that way, and I actually ended up being extremely feminine as an adult. I refuse to identify myself with ANY community now. No politics, no social groups where everyone seems to think the same. When I first left the liberal extremist crowd, I landed into the conservative extremist crowd while trying to explore my views on things. Of course I didn’t like every single thing they said either. I felt alone for so long because I didn’t have a “group” to fit into, until I realized that it’s the best thing to not fit into any group. We all live by this facade that everyone belongs into a different social or political group, we ASSUME it based off of one thing that someone says. It’s SO JUDGMENTAL and clearly BRAINWASHED by the internet. People get their lives ruined over one opinion, which most of the time gets misconstrued by the media. I’m much happier now and found so many passions and activities that I love, no one around me can influence me anymore. I deleted all of my social media too. People seem shocked that I have such a giant variety of interests. I’ve met people who can’t tell me ANYTHING that they like. I have a hard time making friends my age because everyone is a social recluse.
It's kind of a hallmark of our generation. Socials have in a sense devalued regular human interaction, and depth of connection is less important than overall connection to a community. Or more simply put, the groupchat is the "proper" method of communication, and calling someone on the phone is "weird". 23 yr old btw, stay frosty, find those good friends you can call!
at the end of the day, we're all in tune to the same universe regardless of any social concepts that we place. not to say there isnt a reason why we perceive it has a meaning, im not arguing against that, but ppl get so wrapped up in their perceived identity it creates blindspots and biases, unconciously or concious, and it can feel isolating. by nature we like to organize things in perfect little boxes in our head cuz its organized and easy to do. for example a lot of people are having issues dating and both men and women feel like the other side wont geniunely listen to them, and theyre right. they have more interest in "their side" being right rather than trying to search for a greater truth. sorry for writing the fucking bible here ur comment just rlly made me think. cuz u really have to come to this conclusion on ur own and i literally word for word went thru the same shit and felt exactly how u did. and it seems hard to find, even tho everyone intuitively knows theres something wrong
I really identified by the part where you said that you've met people that can't tell you anything that they like. I had a conversation with my younger sister one time and we were talking about our social skills, and I made a comment how I wondered what her hobbies were. The shocking thing about it was that she couldn't tell me anything that she was super passionate about which honestly shocked me.
im a 16 year old and modern rap really messed me up inside and once i found nas and kdot its like something in me switched and i went back to my own thoughts and feelings and then i figured out why and it was i was constantly hearing something positive and relatable and i started coming out my shell and sharing thoughts and being a person again.
Bangor, Maine is a place of depression and you can feel it as soon as you enter it. No matter if it rains or shines or the clouds cover everything, the greyness bleeds through and exposes the rot. People shuffle through the streets like zombies, there is no rat race it's at a snail's pace. Gray buildings, gray streets, gray people, the Woods are where you go to find color. If you can get over the black flies that bite you, it's a truly beautiful experience to walk in the Woods of Bangor. The highlight of my time there was going on night walks with my roommate and climbing a tree and chilling in it for a few hours like we were kids again. It gave us the view of endless lights from the town below, a bright white neon abyss only emphasizing the greyness even more. Yet, it was still fantastical in it's own weird depressing way. The lights belonged to car dealerships, hospitals, and the local authorities, the nightlife is dead and buried. If you can't find something to do in Bangor, you're one of the majority. While I despise the place itself, the people I befriended were some of the most interesting people I'd ever met. My roommate knew more about flora and fauna than the professors who were hired to teach us. My coworker had aspirations of being a hyperbaric welder and instilled a fear of the ocean in me every time we talked. The sweet old lady who ran the ceramic shop with her husband had my mother and I spend Thanksgiving with them when we had no way of visiting our own folks. It's a depressing place, sure, but it was far from the worst place I ever lived.
It all starts with a pencil and paper. Write down all the people that have been an inspiration to you throughout life. For me it's people like Robin Williams, George Carlin, Alan Turing, Clinton Fearon. Take the best of your heroes and make it a part of you. Or somthin idk.
I think the wave of influencers has worsened this effect. I fell victim to the “Become this type of person, have these goals and you’ll get my life” The reason I felt so bad about myself for so long is I was forcing myself to be “best version of myself” for others, instead of myself. I’m sure a lot of guys relate to living up to that image that’s out on social media.
5:29 that's so true man. I can so easily have a conversation with older people who understand what it means to be themselves I have some of the best conversations but when I meet other people around my age it's just zoomer humor and feels like I'm talking to literal toddlers. I hope that people finally wake up and realize how to be a unique individual and have a heart to heart conversation with another human being.
I think it's easier for people to default into NPC mode as a way to cope; it's easier to fall in line than to rise above. In some regard, who can blame them... it feels like its all by design; bread and circuses. Celebrity worship, materialism, individualism over community, superficial beauty over personal depth, clout chasing, "going viral", terminally online, all that shit seems to be amplified on purpose these days, especially in this post pandemic world. It's not worth it agreed, but it's also hard to convince anyone of that if they don't want to believe it. A lot of people need to hear this message, so thank you for spreading the word. Keep your eyes and ears open, have that conversation, do the things that interest you, keep your circle tight, and do your best to be the best you you can be.
that is a really good comment where u empathized instead of just taking a moral high ground.. i think theres so many normal ppl trying to conform to a sick society. we all really benefit everyone if we try to listen and understand
So true! At some point people just turned into zombies. Perfect example, is this Kendrick Drake beef. People are treating it like team Jacob team. Edward while there's serious accusations being put forward. We're literally dancing to a song that's accusing someone of pedophilia. Which is nothing to joke about.
Thanks for this episode. I was in a dark place today after a comment from someone I look up to. I went back and forth between talking about it or keeping it bottled, and just kept questioning my self worth. The moment in your video where you mentioned our lives being miracles really helped me realize I don’t have to conform to the standard. I appreciate your words and as always love your videos.
I've come to realize that it's hard to put my own words together. In my head my thoughts are as clear as day but when I try to communicate it with someone it just becomes a jumble of incoherent words. I was never like this before but once I reached high school and with the pandemic hitting me, my communication skills just deteriorated immensely. Trying to fix it though! Good luck to anyone who's struggling with communicating your own thoughts and such.
Great message! Almost fell into a life my family told me to go after rather than my own. Told me to join the force since it’s a good job with a great retirement. I almost did it too, I passed all the tests and was about to go to academy. I don’t want to put my life at risk so I stopped myself. Rn im going after a great life and man is it so much better. I found a great job with a field I love, I moved across the states [NY-> NV] and life has been amazing. CHASE YOUR DREAMS. BE THE AUTHOR OF YOUR STORY NOT ANYONE ELSE
I love this channel. We really out here listening to “preachers” We just don’t call it church anymore, but this is what these communities are doing. Filling that philosophical/spiritual void.
This church is better than anything on Sunday, it's inspired by what matters (life, reason, purpose, why) instead of religion which is mythology/theology. I'll take philosophy over religion anyday.
Back in elementary/middle school, I used to get bullied a lot because I used to read and I was quite instead of being like them. Many years later they are struggling but I'm doing just fine thank god I never conformed
Thanks for this video man, the more I start to think about this topic, the more I realizes how social media has really taken a toll on many peoples lives and how distant we all are as a society compared to back than where everything felt so real.
Life is a miracle. Sometimes I think of my childhood in the past and hold regrets for not starting x, y, or z soon enough, or not utilizing my time properly. And yet every time I'm reminded that I really can't blame myself. Children aren't meant to use their time properly, to stare long into the future, to calculate consequences, to delay gratification. They're meant to be stupid, to make mistakes, to get frustrated at small things, to be impatient-to be childish. Everyone ought to grow up in this world, but everyone deserves time to be a child as well. I can't ever truly bring myself to blame that part of me.
Ive wasted most of my teenage years on the internet cause of covid. Now idk how to be myself anymore. I only think about content, its like ive been programmed from all of this to not think about myself. I dont know what i like to do. Anytime im asked what to do i say idk cause i havent explored my own mind enough to know anything really about me. Ive been in my comfort zone for too long, i need to change my ways. This video actually helped me realize that. Im not even too sure if this all makes sense.
Agreed. As a 20 something year old, I've learned alot. Always been an outcast and introvert. Seen how people act towards each other. Why would you change yourself for people when people are temporary?. In this life, all you've got is you. I 100% agree with your video 🔥
That part about meeting someone who is unique is real. Ever since i became born again and overcame depression i've been seeing the world in such clarity. You can tell who is real and who is fake now and yeah when i meet an older person they usually are very maturely developed and we always hit it off.
Hey Quiet, your vids are great man. Hope you stay on the path of positivity and not the crazy Qanon right wing crap like other people. You've definitely got a perspective that people should hear.
I randomly stumbled on this channel a couple weeks ago but I’m glad I did. As a 26 year old man it’s a breath of fresh air to see that other people my age think rationally and critically still. Love your videos man can’t wait to see what’s next
It is normal to want to fit in but the question is at what point do you fit in so much, you can't get out the suitcase? Have time with yourself and challenge your own ideas and others. Time with yourself allows you to reflect. You have got, you have got, you have got to be as authentic and as true to yourself and your principles as humanely possible. Never allow people an opportunity to associate you with unreal or fake. It means you haven't lived well. P.S. Getting this video notification hits different when you're just thinking about this.
Bouta turn 18 and just graduated from high school. I admit that I was one of those kids who was always playing a game, but I at least had the decency to enjoy the events that I did have with my loved ones. The reason why I tended to be on a screen was due to me always having a mindset of wanting to be someone else because I only cared about others but hated me. So when I played games, I was enjoying the experience of another person.
20 year old male college student, conformity in my childhood and early adolescence didn’t work, all it did was make me depressed and self centered. Found Allah 5 years ago and despite the negative media and not following accepted political opinions from both sides, this is the most friends I’ve had and most serene I felt. This is what worked for me, hope y’all find yourselves and stick to who you are.
holy fuck. this video dropped to me at the right time, like, I’m fucking crying right now, thank you very much for that, you are an awesome person dude.
Talking to people I don't know at the cinema, store, bar ect is what makes me feel the most alive. I thought this was hard but really all I have to do is let 1 thought slip out, don't filter it and it is often gonna create an organic conversation, or at least interaction
idk man i used to think "why are people so mundane" but i know alot of uninteresting people that are chill n nice ppl. not everyone's gunna be different or interesting some ppl find peace in being within their groups and thats ok. i jus hope we can all accept each other at the end of the day. keep up the good work, like ur self im a lil "whiter" than the average black dude lol. ur intellectual capability is impressive and should be used as an example to kids especially black kids
Glad I grew up before the era of brain rot because I guarantee I'd be one of these sad saps who follow and want to be like others and not themselves. I was like that when I was younger, I was a very shy and sensitive person as a kid, so to combat that I always tried to fit in and be like "the cool kids". Once I got to high school which was 2016, something clicked in my head and made my ass realize tryna fit in as the odd one out means being used or laughed at not with. Once I found myself, I met likeminded individuals and felt comfortable enough to realize I am my own special person. And I know some ppl don't want to get bullied or get bullied for being themselves. But I say either ignore it and use it as passion to be greater and prove them wrong or stand up for ya self. Also, I think it will be long before we get out this terrible age of being drones. Social media and clout are the new crack, everyone wants to be the next influencer/E-celeb. Right now, we are in the worse phase of all, which is to act like a terrible human being and ruin others' days for clout or simply bashing and harassing folks on social media for difference of opinion. Obviously, there's ppl who don't follow or condone that stuff, but majority of the youth is following that thinking shit is cool and funny and they imitate it because they want to be like someone they're not all because they see the numbers and its quick fame. Being yourself is hard work for ppl nowadays so they choose to be someone else for a sliver of attention, while dropping basic human decency and morales and what makes them, themselves. Worse part of all, as a biracial black man, Black folks/Youth is affected the most by this, and I kind of have to witness it almost every few weeks, and the fact that summer break is almost here, I'm going to see it a lot more from the younger mfs
Hey what's up Quietkills im a Marine vet with 3 tours of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and I see this all the time with younger kids. I have 2 kids pre teen age and I see that they get down all the time from what others say and what they see online. I focus a lot on telling them to b themselves and to love who they r but there is always someone out there trying to say that they r different or whatever. Just b u and own it and u will b much happier and will have such a better outlook on life. Keep up the good shit my guy.
My brother keep going, u genuinely reminded me of what it means to be myself. For me being like everyone or trying to fit in has always been a struggle especially throughout highschool (JUST GRADUATED 🎉🥰) Learning and finding myself was hard but once I did I know what my goals are what I feel my heart and mind desire and long for. I'm never going to try to fit anymore, because most people will go through life without actually being happy and it saddens me deeply. I won't be another person walking around miserably with no goal to work towards something. My aspiration in life is to be Happy ❤.
Great insights my guy, the world needs more videos like these, so keep grinding 🎉 Age is definitely a factor here, I'm 45 myself and grew up in the 80s. No social media, no smartphones. It really makes a difference.
This is a tremendously interesting take. At 39, I feel as if I had the chance to develop somewhat of a personality prior to the age of the internet. Yes we had dial-up AOL and that sort of thing, but I didn't live on the internet the way people do now. I notice I have been "terminally online" a little too much over the last few years -- I agree with you that disconnecting to interact with people in the real world and to just work on yourself is SO CRUCIAL now a days. What you said about enjoying your life while you can hits deep. You never know when your time is up, and you don't want to be the one that wasted the miracle of your life in "some streamers chatroom." Social media is a great tool, but it can truly rot your brain and waste your life away if you let it be.
Reflection on the actions, thoughts and general behavior of one self is what I feel most are lacking in today's society. I'm from germany, so the culture is different than over there, but it's still like people just live through their day vicariously. Like one day you'll have a somewhat good talk with someone and for them that moment didn't even exist. Or people thinking so highly of themselves that they don't even think about how not to be such a nuisance for everyone around them. People have lost them selves in echo bubbles ever since the pandemic, affecting the generations that did grow up with social media & etc even harder. Rather it was probably confirming the behaviour of most people to themselves. Like: "oh yea, everybody always said get off your phone and now even my grandma does tiktoks, so I was right all along"
I love the message, As I got older i realized how often I would stay within my comfort zone socially and physically, and now at 18 years old, im trying to develop some of those weaknesses and I feel like I have a more clear image in life and what it has to offer outside of my 4 walls and screens. I love that you are an aware young individual trying to do the same and keep at it!
I just found your channel via the video "don't fake it til you make it." Not only are you incredibly well spoken, that video and this one have moved me to tears with what I've had going on in life. Thank you, god bless and keep it going man
You got this, dude!! The best revenge is to be so focused on yourself that what you guys had becomes a distant memory. You will become irrestible to her, and the best part is that you don't even want her anymore. Take up the gym & boxing/track/sports for your blood pressure, health, & stamina. Take up hobbies that help you explore your passion and purpose in life like art & crafts, designing clothes, and songwriting & producing.
I'm trying to show more of who i actually am as of recently. Been struggling with wanting to fit in for my whole life but now i know that I won't be happy around people who don't even know who i really am. I think I'm a cool person but i still suppress my actual personality and interests in fear of being judged. Hopefully in a couple of years I'll have the confidence to truly be myself and gain more friends who appreciate my real personality
I was born in the US but I grew up in Mexico for the first 12 years of my life. Then we move to America to search for the “ American Dream” well It didn’t work out. Both of my parents are back in Mexico and they are incredibly happy and every time I visit them I feel so free and happy. I’ve always struggled to connect to most people and I feel is because they have their priorities all wrong. None of my friends want children, they don’t want to work all they want is to be a brain rot streamer. I wonder if I should just renounce my US citizenship and go back home. Its crazy because I feel more at home and more free in a country that I wasn’t born in. I still tell everyone that I am Mexican even though on paper im not, but I carry Mexico in my heart🔥❤️ all because of the people.
As someone who's done that "the food was good" thing when asked abt my international trips, it stems from a thought that the person is prolly just asking for the sake of pleasantries and not as a request for deep insight on the region yk. So to get the deep answers you want I think you'd have to make it explicitly clear in your question that that's what you want.
Honestly, this video inspired me so unbelievably much. I was always online from at a very young age, always online. I dont know why but people who repeat the same "womp womp" or "lil 🥷" jokes just piss me off. Like always it has, i could really never explain why but this video gave me a new perspective on something ive always struggled on, a couple of months ago id always spend hours thinking to myself about everything around me and why everybody was so... Unoriginal. It honestly saddens me to see everybody around me my age be the exact carbon copy of everybody else. Don't get me wrong i used to watch streamers too, but i would usually be in a 30 person stream and type in full sentences for the streamer to read and i believe thats how it should be. Out of all of my time on youtube this has to be the most interesting and thought provoking of all, i felt as if i was losing myself but this video saved me. Thank you for making this QuietKills. Ill send this video to the people I love as a thank you
okay, thank you so much. And I agree with everything you say! I’m a sixteen year old girl and I’ve always felt out of place, not fitting into society. You made me realize that I don’t have to pretend anymore.
Dude literally. Specifically on the “be yourself” part. I’m at an age now where I have to get a job now. But I know…I know for damn sure when that happens I’m done for. I’ll never be myself ever again. The day I go out into the work force is the day I truly die because the way I see it…your just a number. THAT IS ALL. You’re a number, a small tiny tiny little code in a much larger game. I won’t matter to anyone. I will be disposable, unimportant. And that’s what I don’t want. And it sucks because I don’t really even want anything. I don’t care about money, don’t care about cars, a house…I don’t care about any of these stupid material things. I’m supposed to work in something i don’t want to do, get money I don’t care for, and buy things I dont even want. What I want IS TO CREATE SOMETHING. That, is something you cannot buy. It is made by the mind. You cannot buy creativity. However…I do not live in world that gives a goddamn about that. Because (especially now) YOU NEED MONEY FOR EVERYTHING. What do I even do? I feel like there’s just no place for me here. And that makes me feel terrible. I had to do something’s yesterday and it was the most soul crushing thing ever. I had to wait in line for a permit. I know right? Like what gives just do it…but no. As I was sitting there I felt so…unimportant. I’m just somebody. Don’t nobody care about anything in here. It’s all just faceless unimportant garbage. And that killed my whole mood. I cannot be myself anymore. The faceless world is demanding me do things that 100 other people can do why do I have to do it? Is there just no way out? Idk…I’ve spent my entire life just thinking things and wondering. I want to put that wonder out into the world. But it feels like that’s just impossible in todays era. Really feel like I don’t belong.
There's a difference between the grander, uncaring world, and _your_ world. And, it seems you don't have anything specific in mind. What _do_ you wish to create? Start from there.
I’m 16 and I never really felt like I “fit in” since I grew up with learning games and the experience of touching grass so I never learned how to be anyone other than myself and the only thing that COULD be interpreted as me “copying” someone or something is some of my mannerisms like saying “eh” or bouncing around when I’m standing doing nothing and walking with my arm up a bit more than others but all that to say that I don’t understand people my own age (their weird *whisper*) but idk since interacting with humans around my age is hard
I had a very livid experience last weekend. I go to a catholic boarding school and from Thursday-Sunday last week, an annual catholic schools competition was held and i hadnt been before but i was part of the little squad from my school that attended. I cant say all of the events that occured but the only words i can use to describe the experience was just, like, perspective changing. My school was the one that like nobody knew outside of like 5 others (there were 17 in total i think) and so my friends and I were able to meet so many other new people and just learn heaps of stuff and hang out. It was like i cant explain it but i just thoroughly enjoyed the entire weekend as a whole. So much stuff happened and by day 2, aint nobody cared about the actual comp, we were there to hang out and enjoy ourselves. I finish highschool next yr so i will be able to go one more time and see all of my friends i made and just do some cool stuff. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life so far and I hope others are able to just do or find something that makes them feel so like ALIVE lol. Thats all i had to say anyways, love the content brother, especially ur Trapper Vids. Im a Ghostface/Billy player but ur Trapper vids r funny af and i hope ur channel continues to blow up cos ur one of the best dbd yters and just yters in general lol
In my experience, being yourself becomes easier, the older you get. Also, the older you get, you become a new person, even if you still have your core traits, so much changes, beliefs, values, opinions, interestes, priorities. What i mean is, to be ourself, we need to know ourself at our core, we dont stop changing, but knowing yourself will help you cultivate it. Sorry, for my english.
That good enough feeling never really escapes you even when to others it looks like you achieved some great thing in pursuit of a hobby or skill. I definitely think social media has positioned alot of young people's minds to compare themselves to others especially on social media, but on social media its their curated snapshots of the high points in their lives. You never see an argument over who's going to take the bins out one day on instagram. I only use it now to post my art and that's about it. Never commented here first time, you seem like a cool dude. Keep it up! :)
Yeah ngl im in this category, not brain rot or anything but staying inside all day, im gonna start working, working out, going outside more, finally talk to a girl since im a 19 yo virgin (not tryna rush ofc, i actually wanna have relationships not just lose the v js to say ive done it), drink more water (i drink too much pop). Im only 19 but i feel like i need to do something fast lol, i keep procrastinating, but ima actually get a job at mcdonalds and work up from their. Its just hard to do something cuz i have some family in ohio n some family in florida n i live n florida n my family in ohio want me to come for the summer but i feel like i should start working asap, idk, i feel split but ima stick wit working on myself for once n stayin n florida for now, im not depressed or anything its js stressfull cuz my familys so divided its hard to do everything wit everyone and do things for myself at the same time (kinda yapped lol)
Nah bro you didn’t yap. U good ur just explaining ur story. Def bro, just take little steps each day and make stuff a habit. U deserve to experience life and to make memories, just try stuff out and see if it works. If it doesn’t u can redirect while we’re young. But def use ur time to try stuff out. It’s scary making risks but that’s what makes life exciting. In terms of Florida and Ohio, I’ll say wherever u go u can pick up jobs on Facebook, older people always need stuff done. I also do instacart so I just drive around picking up peoples groceries. Trust, there’s always something u can do even if it’s not a job at an establishment.
It’s crazy man. People really haven’t had interactions and it very sad how our world is just becoming zombies. The pandemic I believe played an unfathomable amount of damage to some people. I also believe the access to brain rot content has made it worse for them. People don’t read anymore, talk in public anymore, don’t take ahah moments anymore. It’s sad, but gems like you are making a change.
I'm so glad I am not the only one who feels like this. Recently, around fall I started to want to actually live. I didn't want to waste away on Instagram anymore or waste my life on the internet. I'm taking more opportunities to go outside and exploring hobbies. Its been going good, I appreciate the video its a very good reminder. ♥
I'm also 23 years old and have been working at the same job for 3 years. I feel kinda trapped there in a sort a way. I think of myself as the laziest mfer you'll ever meet. Cuz i stay in home a lot. Im from Argentina, but live in the us, and I have one co-worker who is obsessed with Argentina. Gone there 2 times tells me his experiences and shows me pics. I know 'm kind of shitty but I never know what to say cuz im not really interested in my own culture like that. Im more interest in Japanese culture than my own. I've been learning Japanese. But anyways i enjoy these types of videos you make. It makes me feel human.
I do wanna say there’s a common trap voicing your opinions, you have the freedom of speech but that doesn’t mean people have to listen, even if you think your idea can make the world heaven, not everyone will think the same and most of the time there’s not much you can do, and even then you could become the blind like most of the brainwashed degenerates that walk the planet and feed into an ideal that sucks the souls out of people, that’s why I love this video as long as your faithful to you and can admit your faults (all of them) your life will prosper and make some friends Btw I’m 18 I see some people write there age here
I don’t want to rant or go too deep into personal stuff, but I do want to say this. I believe a part of the reason people are so copy pasted the way they are is because they don’t have faith or they think they missed some kind of opportunity, like you mentioned your childhood in your video briefly how you were not given an IPhone. From what I gather, people just don’t think they can even do it, and they have dedicated so much time into this perhaps a facade that they either find more of “themselves” in them or they like it more. It’s normal to mot like bits about yourself, when that happens you work towards it and change it, and understand that you may have difficulties in doing so but it’s possible, instead they’d rather be sad and say honestly stupid stuff sometimes that they just don’t matter. Everyone matters
Shits been hard, been a while since I watched you, I think you were at 26,000 subs at the time and I’m glad I did!! I really needed to hear this and I’m not gonna be binge watching your videos again cuz funny!
One of the reasons people don’t like voicing their opinions is because of unhinged people. You can lose your job for voicing one’s opinion and they’ll post it on social media to get you fired at your job or kicked out of college. I’ve seen tweets like that. I’ve even seen people and their family get doxxed. So people today are maybe scared to do so. For example look at Tru3talent he voices opinions all the time and gets hate for it. Even got his Fog whispers taken from him (not like the “program” means anything) for something that blew out of proportion. Its just sad to see that you can barely voice your opinions nowadays
I think his biggest mistake was confirming to BHVR’s standards and DBD’s community. He set a standard of conduct for himself and set expectations for himself that he couldn’t maintain (because unless you act like a little robot, it’s practically impossible to maintain). He should’ve never aligned himself with the community, because when you do so, you’re then at the mercy of that community. I understand what you’re saying though, but a lot of that has to do with saying blatantly controversial things online. I mean.. you see just by my videos, I put it all on the line on the daily😭😭😭 But not everybody wishes to take that risk. It’s understandable, and I wouldn’t shame anybody for not wanting to risk their livelihoods like that, but they CAN still avoid conformity in other ways, which can be beneficial :)
The point about algorithm is so true. Back when I was creating content more regularly, I was focused on whether or not I'd views or whatever at the expense of creativity and individuality. What I learned is that the people-pleasing and conforming doesn't get you the reward that you truly want.
Honestly im in my 40s and i forget to act my age all the time. I was Born and raised in the Bronx if i conformed i would be dead or in jail. I spend the first half of my life climbing out of the Hood mentality dont ever conform.
great vid. one of the saddest issues is that many people do not develop or nurture any sort of “framework” with which to approach any issue or subject anymore. in other words - even if they jelled with or agreed with what you discuss in this video with self awareness - they are left with nothing to “do” with that feeling. they turn to ChatGPT or their favorite political/philosophical streamer or content creator. they are unable to even look within, because they have been robbed of the chance to develop that basic skill by a constant bombardment of incendiary, black and white opinions.
I want to live SO badly but my parents are black and grew up in rougher places so the way they see things, if I take more than five steps outside of our gated community Im gonna get kidnapped. Thats why I spend most of my time interacting with ppl (outside of school) on the internet. All I can do is wait and stay sane until I get my license.
Quiet in my (17M) eyes the reason people are sucked in by social media and shit is because a lot of us have trauma or shitty experiences, whether it be bad parents or bullies at school. And people like you and me who grew up with no smartphones learned to cope with shit like that cause we were outside spending time with ourselves in the real world. But modern day entertainment is such a good numbing agent for peoples troubles that everyone just distracts themselves now instead of learning to cope. And then when you sit inside all day on ur phone u get anxious and depressed and then you don’t wanna go outside and the cycle continues.
Hope y’all enjoyed! :)

Hey quiet, love these sorts of videos. You have amazing opinions and a good voice (literally and figuratively). I’d like to see more of these from you.
Also your more rant-like videos are entertaining too :)
@@coldplaysgames6695 I like his videos too. I agree! He should definitely do more! :) Everything is mostly good, trips over his words when angry, but that's the passion, so it's cute, I guess. 😂

Message to creator:
Thank you sm. This needs to be said more. I’m 19 and when I was younger I felt uncool cuz I felt that I wasn’t “hood enough”. I go from smoking weed to selling coke in a year just cuz I want to “fit in”. Had a seizure and almost died cuz I tried a fake perc and whatever was in the pressy almost killed me.
Shipped my ass off to rehab and even over a year later, I was fully intending to going back to moving rock, cuz “that’s what gets you the cool points”. But luckily I got pulled out that shit my neighbors dad who threatened to call the police on me for selling on his property.
Since then, we go to NA and he takes out for breakfast to check on me. 3 years later and I’m in technical school instead of dead.
Thank you so much for preaching this. Too many of people I knew and loved haven’t been as lucky as me and died from pressys or from just wack shit
Edit: just thanks again man 🙏
Thank god you changed your life around . Don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life. Believe in yourself and your dreams, then someday they will happen. 🙏
💖
I was at work and a co worker said to me " I have never met anyone who actually lived by the Bible." That lead me to believe that most people who believe, don't actually live by their beliefs. That also lead me to believe that most don't really have anything to live by (or something like that).
Because they don’t
If we clicked on this video, chances are we are struggling because we feel alone.
You done stole my thought 😂
48 year old Gen X'r here.....this is the motto of our entire generation, we never sought to fit in. Be yourself wasn't just a motto, it was a law of my generation. Being yourself does become easier with age if that's any sort of comfort.
Very true im a 50 yr old Gen Xer... and its the reason I really love our Generation... the only problem with our Gen is that we didn't speak up enough to the growning madness that our world is becoming... we went from free thinkers to a Generation of NPCs
@@vernonherb True.
@@vernonherbso fuckin true and based, no offence but sometimes it’s hard to understand anyone else feels for the elder half of GenZ and even the brainwashed moron kids of today, I wish it was easier to be ourselves.
The societal pressure of brainwashing and norms are crazy
22 year old female here. Got caught up with some liberal extremist when I was 14 in high school. Teachers and friends told me that they believed I was transgender just because I wasn’t very feminine. I ended up being convinced and identified as trans for 4 YEARS. I’m healed now and stopped identifying that way, and I actually ended up being extremely feminine as an adult. I refuse to identify myself with ANY community now. No politics, no social groups where everyone seems to think the same. When I first left the liberal extremist crowd, I landed into the conservative extremist crowd while trying to explore my views on things. Of course I didn’t like every single thing they said either. I felt alone for so long because I didn’t have a “group” to fit into, until I realized that it’s the best thing to not fit into any group. We all live by this facade that everyone belongs into a different social or political group, we ASSUME it based off of one thing that someone says. It’s SO JUDGMENTAL and clearly BRAINWASHED by the internet. People get their lives ruined over one opinion, which most of the time gets misconstrued by the media. I’m much happier now and found so many passions and activities that I love, no one around me can influence me anymore. I deleted all of my social media too. People seem shocked that I have such a giant variety of interests. I’ve met people who can’t tell me ANYTHING that they like. I have a hard time making friends my age because everyone is a social recluse.
Thank you for words, I admire and aspire to be like you, you are extremely strong.
It's kind of a hallmark of our generation. Socials have in a sense devalued regular human interaction, and depth of connection is less important than overall connection to a community. Or more simply put, the groupchat is the "proper" method of communication, and calling someone on the phone is "weird".
23 yr old btw, stay frosty, find those good friends you can call!
at the end of the day, we're all in tune to the same universe regardless of any social concepts that we place. not to say there isnt a reason why we perceive it has a meaning, im not arguing against that, but ppl get so wrapped up in their perceived identity it creates blindspots and biases, unconciously or concious, and it can feel isolating. by nature we like to organize things in perfect little boxes in our head cuz its organized and easy to do. for example a lot of people are having issues dating and both men and women feel like the other side wont geniunely listen to them, and theyre right. they have more interest in "their side" being right rather than trying to search for a greater truth. sorry for writing the fucking bible here ur comment just rlly made me think. cuz u really have to come to this conclusion on ur own and i literally word for word went thru the same shit and felt exactly how u did. and it seems hard to find, even tho everyone intuitively knows theres something wrong
I really identified by the part where you said that you've met people that can't tell you anything that they like. I had a conversation with my younger sister one time and we were talking about our social skills, and I made a comment how I wondered what her hobbies were. The shocking thing about it was that she couldn't tell me anything that she was super passionate about which honestly shocked me.
im a 16 year old and modern rap really messed me up inside and once i found nas and kdot its like something in me switched and i went back to my own thoughts and feelings and then i figured out why and it was i was constantly hearing something positive and relatable and i started coming out my shell and sharing thoughts and being a person again.
Bangor, Maine is a place of depression and you can feel it as soon as you enter it. No matter if it rains or shines or the clouds cover everything, the greyness bleeds through and exposes the rot. People shuffle through the streets like zombies, there is no rat race it's at a snail's pace. Gray buildings, gray streets, gray people, the Woods are where you go to find color. If you can get over the black flies that bite you, it's a truly beautiful experience to walk in the Woods of Bangor. The highlight of my time there was going on night walks with my roommate and climbing a tree and chilling in it for a few hours like we were kids again. It gave us the view of endless lights from the town below, a bright white neon abyss only emphasizing the greyness even more. Yet, it was still fantastical in it's own weird depressing way. The lights belonged to car dealerships, hospitals, and the local authorities, the nightlife is dead and buried. If you can't find something to do in Bangor, you're one of the majority. While I despise the place itself, the people I befriended were some of the most interesting people I'd ever met. My roommate knew more about flora and fauna than the professors who were hired to teach us. My coworker had aspirations of being a hyperbaric welder and instilled a fear of the ocean in me every time we talked. The sweet old lady who ran the ceramic shop with her husband had my mother and I spend Thanksgiving with them when we had no way of visiting our own folks.
It's a depressing place, sure, but it was far from the worst place I ever lived.
As a Gen-Z 23 year old black woman, I’ve always had trouble being myself before social media. I still don’t know how to be myself sometimes and idk
Keep working at it sis..
26y old here, keep working on it.
I respect the truth, you’ll get there.
@@C0d0ps thank you! I’m trying❤️
@@vernonherb thanks!❤️
It all starts with a pencil and paper. Write down all the people that have been an inspiration to you throughout life. For me it's people like Robin Williams, George Carlin, Alan Turing, Clinton Fearon. Take the best of your heroes and make it a part of you. Or somthin idk.
I think the wave of influencers has worsened this effect.
I fell victim to the “Become this type of person, have these goals and you’ll get my life”
The reason I felt so bad about myself for so long is I was forcing myself to be “best version of myself” for others, instead of myself.
I’m sure a lot of guys relate to living up to that image that’s out on social media.
My parents adopted me when they were 42 and it definitely is the reason why I have this perspective now. I’m grateful
5:29 that's so true man. I can so easily have a conversation with older people who understand what it means to be themselves I have some of the best conversations but when I meet other people around my age it's just zoomer humor and feels like I'm talking to literal toddlers. I hope that people finally wake up and realize how to be a unique individual and have a heart to heart conversation with another human being.
I think it's easier for people to default into NPC mode as a way to cope; it's easier to fall in line than to rise above. In some regard, who can blame them... it feels like its all by design; bread and circuses. Celebrity worship, materialism, individualism over community, superficial beauty over personal depth, clout chasing, "going viral", terminally online, all that shit seems to be amplified on purpose these days, especially in this post pandemic world. It's not worth it agreed, but it's also hard to convince anyone of that if they don't want to believe it. A lot of people need to hear this message, so thank you for spreading the word. Keep your eyes and ears open, have that conversation, do the things that interest you, keep your circle tight, and do your best to be the best you you can be.
that is a really good comment where u empathized instead of just taking a moral high ground.. i think theres so many normal ppl trying to conform to a sick society. we all really benefit everyone if we try to listen and understand
So true! At some point people just turned into zombies. Perfect example, is this Kendrick Drake beef. People are treating it like team Jacob team. Edward while there's serious accusations being put forward. We're literally dancing to a song that's accusing someone of pedophilia. Which is nothing to joke about.
Thanks for this episode. I was in a dark place today after a comment from someone I look up to. I went back and forth between talking about it or keeping it bottled, and just kept questioning my self worth. The moment in your video where you mentioned our lives being miracles really helped me realize I don’t have to conform to the standard. I appreciate your words and as always love your videos.
I've come to realize that it's hard to put my own words together. In my head my thoughts are as clear as day but when I try to communicate it with someone it just becomes a jumble of incoherent words. I was never like this before but once I reached high school and with the pandemic hitting me, my communication skills just deteriorated immensely. Trying to fix it though! Good luck to anyone who's struggling with communicating your own thoughts and such.
Great message! Almost fell into a life my family told me to go after rather than my own. Told me to join the force since it’s a good job with a great retirement. I almost did it too, I passed all the tests and was about to go to academy. I don’t want to put my life at risk so I stopped myself. Rn im going after a great life and man is it so much better. I found a great job with a field I love, I moved across the states [NY-> NV] and life has been amazing.
CHASE YOUR DREAMS. BE THE AUTHOR OF YOUR STORY NOT ANYONE ELSE
I love this channel.
We really out here listening to “preachers”
We just don’t call it church anymore, but this is what these communities are doing.
Filling that philosophical/spiritual void.
This church is better than anything on Sunday, it's inspired by what matters (life, reason, purpose, why) instead of religion which is mythology/theology. I'll take philosophy over religion anyday.
Back in elementary/middle school, I used to get bullied a lot because I used to read and I was quite instead of being like them. Many years later they are struggling but I'm doing just fine thank god I never conformed
Thanks for this video man, the more I start to think about this topic, the more I realizes how social media has really taken a toll on many peoples lives and how distant we all are as a society compared to back than where everything felt so real.
I'm just chilling in my garage listening to the rain and wind in the trees. It's the simple things in life I appreciate
Life is a miracle. Sometimes I think of my childhood in the past and hold regrets for not starting x, y, or z soon enough, or not utilizing my time properly. And yet every time I'm reminded that I really can't blame myself. Children aren't meant to use their time properly, to stare long into the future, to calculate consequences, to delay gratification. They're meant to be stupid, to make mistakes, to get frustrated at small things, to be impatient-to be childish. Everyone ought to grow up in this world, but everyone deserves time to be a child as well. I can't ever truly bring myself to blame that part of me.
Ive wasted most of my teenage years on the internet cause of covid. Now idk how to be myself anymore. I only think about content, its like ive been programmed from all of this to not think about myself. I dont know what i like to do. Anytime im asked what to do i say idk cause i havent explored my own mind enough to know anything really about me. Ive been in my comfort zone for too long, i need to change my ways. This video actually helped me realize that. Im not even too sure if this all makes sense.
Agreed. As a 20 something year old, I've learned alot. Always been an outcast and introvert. Seen how people act towards each other. Why would you change yourself for people when people are temporary?. In this life, all you've got is you. I 100% agree with your video 🔥
these lil sessions be therapeutic brotha thanks
That part about meeting someone who is unique is real. Ever since i became born again and overcame depression i've been seeing the world in such clarity. You can tell who is real and who is fake now and yeah when i meet an older person they usually are very maturely developed and we always hit it off.
Hey Quiet, your vids are great man. Hope you stay on the path of positivity and not the crazy Qanon right wing crap like other people. You've definitely got a perspective that people should hear.
I randomly stumbled on this channel a couple weeks ago but I’m glad I did. As a 26 year old man it’s a breath of fresh air to see that other people my age think rationally and critically still. Love your videos man can’t wait to see what’s next
It is normal to want to fit in but the question is at what point do you fit in so much, you can't get out the suitcase? Have time with yourself and challenge your own ideas and others. Time with yourself allows you to reflect. You have got, you have got, you have got to be as authentic and as true to yourself and your principles as humanely possible. Never allow people an opportunity to associate you with unreal or fake. It means you haven't lived well. P.S. Getting this video notification hits different when you're just thinking about this.
Bouta turn 18 and just graduated from high school. I admit that I was one of those kids who was always playing a game, but I at least had the decency to enjoy the events that I did have with my loved ones. The reason why I tended to be on a screen was due to me always having a mindset of wanting to be someone else because I only cared about others but hated me. So when I played games, I was enjoying the experience of another person.
20 year old male college student, conformity in my childhood and early adolescence didn’t work, all it did was make me depressed and self centered. Found Allah 5 years ago and despite the negative media and not following accepted political opinions from both sides, this is the most friends I’ve had and most serene I felt. This is what worked for me, hope y’all find yourselves and stick to who you are.
holy fuck. this video dropped to me at the right time, like, I’m fucking crying right now, thank you very much for that, you are an awesome person dude.
Talking to people I don't know at the cinema, store, bar ect is what makes me feel the most alive. I thought this was hard but really all I have to do is let 1 thought slip out, don't filter it and it is often gonna create an organic conversation, or at least interaction
idk man i used to think "why are people so mundane" but i know alot of uninteresting people that are chill n nice ppl. not everyone's gunna be different or interesting some ppl find peace in being within their groups and thats ok. i jus hope we can all accept each other at the end of the day. keep up the good work, like ur self im a lil "whiter" than the average black dude lol. ur intellectual capability is impressive and should be used as an example to kids especially black kids
Glad I grew up before the era of brain rot because I guarantee I'd be one of these sad saps who follow and want to be like others and not themselves. I was like that when I was younger, I was a very shy and sensitive person as a kid, so to combat that I always tried to fit in and be like "the cool kids". Once I got to high school which was 2016, something clicked in my head and made my ass realize tryna fit in as the odd one out means being used or laughed at not with. Once I found myself, I met likeminded individuals and felt comfortable enough to realize I am my own special person. And I know some ppl don't want to get bullied or get bullied for being themselves. But I say either ignore it and use it as passion to be greater and prove them wrong or stand up for ya self. Also, I think it will be long before we get out this terrible age of being drones. Social media and clout are the new crack, everyone wants to be the next influencer/E-celeb. Right now, we are in the worse phase of all, which is to act like a terrible human being and ruin others' days for clout or simply bashing and harassing folks on social media for difference of opinion. Obviously, there's ppl who don't follow or condone that stuff, but majority of the youth is following that thinking shit is cool and funny and they imitate it because they want to be like someone they're not all because they see the numbers and its quick fame. Being yourself is hard work for ppl nowadays so they choose to be someone else for a sliver of attention, while dropping basic human decency and morales and what makes them, themselves. Worse part of all, as a biracial black man, Black folks/Youth is affected the most by this, and I kind of have to witness it almost every few weeks, and the fact that summer break is almost here, I'm going to see it a lot more from the younger mfs
Hey what's up Quietkills im a Marine vet with 3 tours of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and I see this all the time with younger kids. I have 2 kids pre teen age and I see that they get down all the time from what others say and what they see online. I focus a lot on telling them to b themselves and to love who they r but there is always someone out there trying to say that they r different or whatever. Just b u and own it and u will b much happier and will have such a better outlook on life.
Keep up the good shit my guy.
Wow thank you for the words and thank you for your service as well. I appreciate the comment!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
No problem man keep doing u bro
My brother keep going, u genuinely reminded me of what it means to be myself. For me being like everyone or trying to fit in has always been a struggle especially throughout highschool (JUST GRADUATED 🎉🥰) Learning and finding myself was hard but once I did I know what my goals are what I feel my heart and mind desire and long for. I'm never going to try to fit anymore, because most people will go through life without actually being happy and it saddens me deeply. I won't be another person walking around miserably with no goal to work towards something. My aspiration in life is to be Happy ❤.
Bros spittin faxxx and I’m all for it!
Keep speaking your mind brother

Great insights my guy, the world needs more videos like these, so keep grinding 🎉 Age is definitely a factor here, I'm 45 myself and grew up in the 80s. No social media, no smartphones. It really makes a difference.
Love the recent videos 👍 these videos really speak to me personally
Idk why but I died when cuz said dialogue options 😂😂😂
This is a tremendously interesting take. At 39, I feel as if I had the chance to develop somewhat of a personality prior to the age of the internet. Yes we had dial-up AOL and that sort of thing, but I didn't live on the internet the way people do now.
I notice I have been "terminally online" a little too much over the last few years -- I agree with you that disconnecting to interact with people in the real world and to just work on yourself is SO CRUCIAL now a days.
What you said about enjoying your life while you can hits deep. You never know when your time is up, and you don't want to be the one that wasted the miracle of your life in "some streamers chatroom."
Social media is a great tool, but it can truly rot your brain and waste your life away if you let it be.
Reflection on the actions, thoughts and general behavior of one self is what I feel most are lacking in today's society. I'm from germany, so the culture is different than over there, but it's still like people just live through their day vicariously. Like one day you'll have a somewhat good talk with someone and for them that moment didn't even exist. Or people thinking so highly of themselves that they don't even think about how not to be such a nuisance for everyone around them. People have lost them selves in echo bubbles ever since the pandemic, affecting the generations that did grow up with social media & etc even harder. Rather it was probably confirming the behaviour of most people to themselves. Like: "oh yea, everybody always said get off your phone and now even my grandma does tiktoks, so I was right all along"
"To be yourself is all that you can do." -Chris Cornell.
The timing couldn’t be better thank you 🙏🏿
I love the message, As I got older i realized how often I would stay within my comfort zone socially and physically, and now at 18 years old, im trying to develop some of those weaknesses and I feel like I have a more clear image in life and what it has to offer outside of my 4 walls and screens. I love that you are an aware young individual trying to do the same and keep at it!
I just found your channel via the video "don't fake it til you make it." Not only are you incredibly well spoken, that video and this one have moved me to tears with what I've had going on in life. Thank you, god bless and keep it going man
Just broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years. I need to get on my shit , it’s so easy to stay stagnant and comfortable
You can do it bro!
You got this, dude!! The best revenge is to be so focused on yourself that what you guys had becomes a distant memory. You will become irrestible to her, and the best part is that you don't even want her anymore. Take up the gym & boxing/track/sports for your blood pressure, health, & stamina. Take up hobbies that help you explore your passion and purpose in life like art & crafts, designing clothes, and songwriting & producing.
I'm trying to show more of who i actually am as of recently. Been struggling with wanting to fit in for my whole life but now i know that I won't be happy around people who don't even know who i really am. I think I'm a cool person but i still suppress my actual personality and interests in fear of being judged. Hopefully in a couple of years I'll have the confidence to truly be myself and gain more friends who appreciate my real personality
I was born in the US but I grew up in Mexico for the first 12 years of my life. Then we move to America to search for the “ American Dream” well It didn’t work out. Both of my parents are back in Mexico and they are incredibly happy and every time I visit them I feel so free and happy. I’ve always struggled to connect to most people and I feel is because they have their priorities all wrong. None of my friends want children, they don’t want to work all they want is to be a brain rot streamer. I wonder if I should just renounce my US citizenship and go back home. Its crazy because I feel more at home and more free in a country that I wasn’t born in. I still tell everyone that I am Mexican even though on paper im not, but I carry Mexico in my heart🔥❤️ all because of the people.
As someone who's done that "the food was good" thing when asked abt my international trips, it stems from a thought that the person is prolly just asking for the sake of pleasantries and not as a request for deep insight on the region yk. So to get the deep answers you want I think you'd have to make it explicitly clear in your question that that's what you want.
Honestly, this video inspired me so unbelievably much. I was always online from at a very young age, always online. I dont know why but people who repeat the same "womp womp" or "lil 🥷" jokes just piss me off. Like always it has, i could really never explain why but this video gave me a new perspective on something ive always struggled on, a couple of months ago id always spend hours thinking to myself about everything around me and why everybody was so... Unoriginal. It honestly saddens me to see everybody around me my age be the exact carbon copy of everybody else. Don't get me wrong i used to watch streamers too, but i would usually be in a 30 person stream and type in full sentences for the streamer to read and i believe thats how it should be. Out of all of my time on youtube this has to be the most interesting and thought provoking of all, i felt as if i was losing myself but this video saved me. Thank you for making this QuietKills. Ill send this video to the people I love as a thank you
This comment probably looks dumb because I never bothered proofreading it but it's whatever. For perspective, I turned 15 this year.
Hi, just want to say I love your videos, they've been really informative!
Quiettherapy sessions! Keep it up bro fr
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Always a pleasure to see you pop up in the comments, man! Thank you, bro!
okay, thank you so much. And I agree with everything you say! I’m a sixteen year old girl and I’ve always felt out of place, not fitting into society. You made me realize that I don’t have to pretend anymore.
Dude literally. Specifically on the “be yourself” part. I’m at an age now where I have to get a job now. But I know…I know for damn sure when that happens I’m done for. I’ll never be myself ever again. The day I go out into the work force is the day I truly die because the way I see it…your just a number. THAT IS ALL. You’re a number, a small tiny tiny little code in a much larger game. I won’t matter to anyone. I will be disposable, unimportant. And that’s what I don’t want.
And it sucks because I don’t really even want anything. I don’t care about money, don’t care about cars, a house…I don’t care about any of these stupid material things. I’m supposed to work in something i don’t want to do, get money I don’t care for, and buy things I dont even want. What I want IS TO CREATE SOMETHING. That, is something you cannot buy. It is made by the mind. You cannot buy creativity. However…I do not live in world that gives a goddamn about that. Because (especially now) YOU NEED MONEY FOR EVERYTHING.
What do I even do? I feel like there’s just no place for me here. And that makes me feel terrible. I had to do something’s yesterday and it was the most soul crushing thing ever. I had to wait in line for a permit. I know right? Like what gives just do it…but no. As I was sitting there I felt so…unimportant. I’m just somebody. Don’t nobody care about anything in here. It’s all just faceless unimportant garbage. And that killed my whole mood. I cannot be myself anymore. The faceless world is demanding me do things that 100 other people can do why do I have to do it? Is there just no way out?
Idk…I’ve spent my entire life just thinking things and wondering. I want to put that wonder out into the world. But it feels like that’s just impossible in todays era. Really feel like I don’t belong.
There's a difference between the grander, uncaring world, and _your_ world. And, it seems you don't have anything specific in mind. What _do_ you wish to create? Start from there.
I’m 16 and I never really felt like I “fit in” since I grew up with learning games and the experience of touching grass so I never learned how to be anyone other than myself and the only thing that COULD be interpreted as me “copying” someone or something is some of my mannerisms like saying “eh” or bouncing around when I’m standing doing nothing and walking with my arm up a bit more than others but all that to say that I don’t understand people my own age (their weird *whisper*) but idk since interacting with humans around my age is hard
I had a very livid experience last weekend. I go to a catholic boarding school and from Thursday-Sunday last week, an annual catholic schools competition was held and i hadnt been before but i was part of the little squad from my school that attended. I cant say all of the events that occured but the only words i can use to describe the experience was just, like, perspective changing. My school was the one that like nobody knew outside of like 5 others (there were 17 in total i think) and so my friends and I were able to meet so many other new people and just learn heaps of stuff and hang out. It was like i cant explain it but i just thoroughly enjoyed the entire weekend as a whole. So much stuff happened and by day 2, aint nobody cared about the actual comp, we were there to hang out and enjoy ourselves. I finish highschool next yr so i will be able to go one more time and see all of my friends i made and just do some cool stuff. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life so far and I hope others are able to just do or find something that makes them feel so like ALIVE lol. Thats all i had to say anyways, love the content brother, especially ur Trapper Vids. Im a Ghostface/Billy player but ur Trapper vids r funny af and i hope ur channel continues to blow up cos ur one of the best dbd yters and just yters in general lol
Ur wise bro keep at it u doin gods work
In my experience, being yourself becomes easier, the older you get. Also, the older you get, you become a new person, even if you still have your core traits, so much changes, beliefs, values, opinions, interestes, priorities. What i mean is, to be ourself, we need to know ourself at our core, we dont stop changing, but knowing yourself will help you cultivate it. Sorry, for my english.
You’re not alone brother. I agree 100%
its cool that you have a mature and goofy side
Balance 🙏🏽
Real good video, I enjoy this content from you. For 23 years old you certainly have a head on your shoulders. Keep it up 👍🏼
That good enough feeling never really escapes you even when to others it looks like you achieved some great thing in pursuit of a hobby or skill. I definitely think social media has positioned alot of young people's minds to compare themselves to others especially on social media, but on social media its their curated snapshots of the high points in their lives. You never see an argument over who's going to take the bins out one day on instagram. I only use it now to post my art and that's about it. Never commented here first time, you seem like a cool dude. Keep it up! :)
Channel needs more recognition 💯
Ya hit that one for sure.🔥
I value and agree with %90 of what you say. I watch every one of your talking videos. Keep up the videos.
Ayo can we get a playlist with all your serious videos like this? Really like these videos
My ‘Just Chatting’ playlist :)
I understand all of this completely, I'm glad someone has actually talked about this topic. Thanks quiet.
Came from ur black culture video and i enjoyed ur well-spoken personality. Came to this video and wasnt disappointed:)
So true. I honestly couldn't believe how ppl talk now around my age range and younger. It's so disconnected and like oh ok then
Yeah ngl im in this category, not brain rot or anything but staying inside all day, im gonna start working, working out, going outside more, finally talk to a girl since im a 19 yo virgin (not tryna rush ofc, i actually wanna have relationships not just lose the v js to say ive done it), drink more water (i drink too much pop). Im only 19 but i feel like i need to do something fast lol, i keep procrastinating, but ima actually get a job at mcdonalds and work up from their. Its just hard to do something cuz i have some family in ohio n some family in florida n i live n florida n my family in ohio want me to come for the summer but i feel like i should start working asap, idk, i feel split but ima stick wit working on myself for once n stayin n florida for now, im not depressed or anything its js stressfull cuz my familys so divided its hard to do everything wit everyone and do things for myself at the same time
(kinda yapped lol)
Nah bro you didn’t yap. U good ur just explaining ur story. Def bro, just take little steps each day and make stuff a habit. U deserve to experience life and to make memories, just try stuff out and see if it works. If it doesn’t u can redirect while we’re young. But def use ur time to try stuff out. It’s scary making risks but that’s what makes life exciting. In terms of Florida and Ohio, I’ll say wherever u go u can pick up jobs on Facebook, older people always need stuff done. I also do instacart so I just drive around picking up peoples groceries. Trust, there’s always something u can do even if it’s not a job at an establishment.
@@AllenGottlieb thanks
It’s crazy man. People really haven’t had interactions and it very sad how our world is just becoming zombies. The pandemic I believe played an unfathomable amount of damage to some people. I also believe the access to brain rot content has made it worse for them. People don’t read anymore, talk in public anymore, don’t take ahah moments anymore. It’s sad, but gems like you are making a change.
I'm so glad I am not the only one who feels like this. Recently, around fall I started to want to actually live. I didn't want to waste away on Instagram anymore or waste my life on the internet. I'm taking more opportunities to go outside and exploring hobbies. Its been going good, I appreciate the video its a very good reminder. ♥
I'm also 23 years old and have been working at the same job for 3 years. I feel kinda trapped there in a sort a way. I think of myself as the laziest mfer you'll ever meet. Cuz i stay in home a lot. Im from Argentina, but live in the us, and I have one co-worker who is obsessed with Argentina. Gone there 2 times tells me his experiences and shows me pics. I know 'm kind of shitty but I never know what to say cuz im not really interested in my own culture like that. Im more interest in Japanese culture than my own. I've been learning Japanese. But anyways i enjoy these types of videos you make. It makes me feel human.
the current situation is npcs calling npcs npcs. 😂
Love this content man. Keep it up.
I do wanna say there’s a common trap voicing your opinions, you have the freedom of speech but that doesn’t mean people have to listen, even if you think your idea can make the world heaven, not everyone will think the same and most of the time there’s not much you can do, and even then you could become the blind like most of the brainwashed degenerates that walk the planet and feed into an ideal that sucks the souls out of people, that’s why I love this video as long as your faithful to you and can admit your faults (all of them) your life will prosper and make some friends
Btw I’m 18 I see some people write there age here
This was very helpful man it’s so easy to lose yourself in trends and content nowadays. Road to 60k QK!!
I don’t want to rant or go too deep into personal stuff, but I do want to say this. I believe a part of the reason people are so copy pasted the way they are is because they don’t have faith or they think they missed some kind of opportunity, like you mentioned your childhood in your video briefly how you were not given an IPhone. From what I gather, people just don’t think they can even do it, and they have dedicated so much time into this perhaps a facade that they either find more of “themselves” in them or they like it more. It’s normal to mot like bits about yourself, when that happens you work towards it and change it, and understand that you may have difficulties in doing so but it’s possible, instead they’d rather be sad and say honestly stupid stuff sometimes that they just don’t matter. Everyone matters
man I love watching your vids.
Any entity that demands your conformity is your enemy.
Shits been hard, been a while since I watched you, I think you were at 26,000 subs at the time and I’m glad I did!! I really needed to hear this and I’m not gonna be binge watching your videos again cuz funny!
quality you tuber right here.
You got to do more of these types of vids man❤❤❤❤
One of the reasons people don’t like voicing their opinions is because of unhinged people. You can lose your job for voicing one’s opinion and they’ll post it on social media to get you fired at your job or kicked out of college. I’ve seen tweets like that. I’ve even seen people and their family get doxxed. So people today are maybe scared to do so. For example look at Tru3talent he voices opinions all the time and gets hate for it. Even got his Fog whispers taken from him (not like the “program” means anything) for something that blew out of proportion. Its just sad to see that you can barely voice your opinions nowadays
I think his biggest mistake was confirming to BHVR’s standards and DBD’s community. He set a standard of conduct for himself and set expectations for himself that he couldn’t maintain (because unless you act like a little robot, it’s practically impossible to maintain). He should’ve never aligned himself with the community, because when you do so, you’re then at the mercy of that community. I understand what you’re saying though, but a lot of that has to do with saying blatantly controversial things online. I mean.. you see just by my videos, I put it all on the line on the daily😭😭😭 But not everybody wishes to take that risk. It’s understandable, and I wouldn’t shame anybody for not wanting to risk their livelihoods like that, but they CAN still avoid conformity in other ways, which can be beneficial :)
Bro love your content man keep itnup
The point about algorithm is so true. Back when I was creating content more regularly, I was focused on whether or not I'd views or whatever at the expense of creativity and individuality. What I learned is that the people-pleasing and conforming doesn't get you the reward that you truly want.
It's all compliance and lies. The fact that they need to lie means they are scared. When they stop lying that's when you should be scared.
Honestly im in my 40s and i forget to act my age all the time. I was Born and raised in the Bronx if i conformed i would be dead or in jail. I spend the first half of my life climbing out of the Hood mentality dont ever conform.
great vid. one of the saddest issues is that many people do not develop or nurture any sort of “framework” with which to approach any issue or subject anymore.
in other words - even if they jelled with or agreed with what you discuss in this video with self awareness - they are left with nothing to “do” with that feeling. they turn to ChatGPT or their favorite political/philosophical streamer or content creator. they are unable to even look within, because they have been robbed of the chance to develop that basic skill by a constant bombardment of incendiary, black and white opinions.
thank you QK for these life changing videos 🙏
I want to live SO badly but my parents are black and grew up in rougher places so the way they see things, if I take more than five steps outside of our gated community Im gonna get kidnapped. Thats why I spend most of my time interacting with ppl (outside of school) on the internet. All I can do is wait and stay sane until I get my license.
You're very right!
"Oh okay" 😂
Quiet in my (17M) eyes the reason people are sucked in by social media and shit is because a lot of us have trauma or shitty experiences, whether it be bad parents or bullies at school. And people like you and me who grew up with no smartphones learned to cope with shit like that cause we were outside spending time with ourselves in the real world. But modern day entertainment is such a good numbing agent for peoples troubles that everyone just distracts themselves now instead of learning to cope. And then when you sit inside all day on ur phone u get anxious and depressed and then you don’t wanna go outside and the cycle continues.
