You're not alone my good sir. Nah fr tho. I know a lot is happening right now, and it seems like things are just gonna end, but it wont. Hardship happens, and we've always gotten through it. Every single time. It will happen again, we will push through, and we'll be ok. On a personal level, too. Everyone will be ok. Just take it one hour at a time. Literally one hour. Look forward to getting in bed and laying down; thats something to look forward to. Just sucks that people, especially in the US, are so divided right now. All the negativity is coming from a loud minority, however, and just remember that MOST people are good.
While I get how it feels very grim, humanity has had WAY lower points than right now, yet we persevered, and survived. We’ll get through this, everyone.
When I was younger, I would stay up till 3 with my friends talking about the dread we were feeling, cause I really wanted someone to relate to about my feelings. So it’s nice to know other people than my friend feel the same.
What's scary is how much things are inflated / getting expensive and more people are homeless too. Like it feels kinda weird to me, people are in more desperate situations.
The dread from what’s happening in the world, in personal life, in everything, it feels pretty bad. I’ve thought about a lot, looked at different perspectives, I think I’ve learned a lot. Instead of continuing to dread on it, I’ve just accepted the fact that things are going terribly, and they’re going to get way worse. Everything good has to end, it sucks.
I know what you mean: the increasing development of tech and human inventions, along with the greed and hatred in the human race is always going to cause problems. It always has, and we’ve experienced a lot worse than this all over the world. I find that especially with tiktok, we are *constantly* exposed to these bad things happening in the world, and many people present everything as the end of the world in order to get catchy titles and likes. I think the main thing with our generation is that we’re all growing up and becoming more aware of the real world. Plus we are definitely over-exposed to information which makes us spiral, since our brains aren’t built to handle that much information. But at the end of the day, humans have adapted to survive and we will get through whatever goes on. Until we don’t. Not much we can do about it 🤷🏼♀️
i’ve been accually thinking about this for the past few weeks and i’m convinced there’s no ways to stop humans from being selfish (caring about money, power etc)we basically need to start sucking up the co2??(idk lol) maybe create some genetically modified trees that are specifically designed to do so. we then plant that in a ton of places like on the roofs (we would have to accommodate the roof though).it would accually look so cool.anyways that’s what i’ve pondered so far :”) but yea i do agree that it feels like the worlds ending TT
yes this is what i've been feeling lately like even with my parents, they've become chronically online and dont want to go outside or talk to people if they dont have similar views and im like WHAAAAAA and even at dinner too- they're always plugged in when i take a min to appericate the food
Drama story: So I have a friend let's call José and his girlfriend Brittney. I never liked Brittney so when José said he was dating Brittney I was not very happy about it but it wasn't my life so I didn't say anything and just congratulated him lol. So here's a fact about Brittney, she's crazy and clingy. She checks his phone everyday, hates it when he talks to other girls, and HATES when he hangs out with friends she doesn't like. Friends like me, I said "Hey José you never seem happy around Brittney why don't you just break up with her, no offense but she's kinda crazy" he got very defensive and stopped talking to me. Oh I forgot to mention this was in 8TH GRADE this girl is in 8TH GRADE and is acting all crazy. So José was alone for once and him and Ava were at the park talking, they walk back to the school and Brittney sees José and Ava together and she starts balling her eyes out saying horrible things to Ava and José then storms off. Then after a couple days José broke up with her and Brittney was flat out depressed. She got over it and José started dating Ava after 2 months. Brittney blames ava for them breaking up and she is still on José like they're still together and it's annoying. Anyways should I talk to José again or wait for Brittney to LEAVE FOREVER becuase I don't know how he still hangs out with Brittney
I think a lot of it just has to do with the fact that we are all getting older and that things that used to be so great have just lost their colors. The older you get, the more information you get (usually) and the more information you have, the more you're aware of.. good or bad.
I feel the exact same way, and have been for awhile. Also relating to the horror movie thing, in recent years there's been a lot of dystopia books that especially take place after a global warming catastrophe
Like exactly,every word that you said ,like you thoughts on it is exactly how I feel about it.I tried to explain it to a few people but they thought that I overthink onto another level and then think that I'm crazy or something
I have felt similarly for the past few years and as also being a part of a younger generation (I am 13) I also feel the need to have people just try to help the earth in any way possible. It feels like earth is slowly deteriorating but is still gradually getting destroyed faster and faster. And about the horror movie concept, I also completely agree. I feel as if when the whole world is feeling this feeling of existential dread, obviously the people in charge of entertainment are going to view things that same way and will be in that sate of mind further causing them to create darker movies. It deeply disappoints me that we as a human race have just simply given up on earth(I am not saying all people I am just saying the majority of people that have any sense of power feel like this) and are trying to completely re-do humanity and see if we can get to a different planet just to make that planet a disaster as we have made this one. But I believe that when people hear the word disaster they think “that’s it, it’s over” rather than “what can we do to fix this” people see the word disaster and think permanence rather than something that is just temporary. Thank you to whomever reads this and I hope everyone has a great day 😊
My drama: theres this person at my school who is known as the "wierd" kid at school/rumoured to be a furry and they are often bullied for this, so I try to be as nice as possible. and they messaged me a few months ago saying they knew I liked girls, and wanted to hit me up with their friend. (Well call this person red) I felt bad for them and said okay. Red and I started talking, but I dont think we have much interests and they acted a little bit off to me and I personally don't feel comfortable around them I just kept feeling iffy about them. Fast forward a few months of having small conversations about their interests while they made fun of mine, They messaged me and saying they like me, and I felt bad and panicked and said I liked them too, they asked if we could "label us" and I said we should maybe take it slow. And yesterday they told me about their mental health issues and a couple other stuff that they trust me with, and I'm all for venting but the way their saying is things like "oh I'm so happy you like me because if you didnt I would have k*lled myself, and sending me pictures of her SH scars. and then asking me to send pictures of me and my family because it keeps them alive and then the conversation got to a really strange point saying they wanted to drink my period blood... and then they said their friend in the beginning of the story and I were the only people they have left and they would kill themselves if I leave. And I'm not sure what to do because I dont want to hurt their but also shes making me really really uncomfortable. Okay that's my story Also they want me to play warrior cats after school tomorrow with their wierd friend and I dont know what to do.
@StillNoClue22 yupyupyup!! the girls friend ended up telling reds parents and she got the help she needed and I cut contact with her. A year later we spoke again when we were both in a better mental state and started dating. I broke up with her a couple months later but that's some other personal reasons :)))
drama mama i have friends who i’m 90% sure talk bad about me all the time when i’m not there and i’m always alone in arguments they don’t invite me out to places rather i invite them out and usually they sleepover after the hangout i organised. i have great times with them but i feel like they don’t even want me around since they prefer each other i don’t want to seperate from them because they make me happy most of the time, but there’s snippets where i think they despise me like now what do i do ben ? -chels (ps i love you so much !! you make my day with every little post you give me and i thank you for uplifting me every time i need it. thank you.)
You've just stated exactly what I've been feeling for a while now. The quality kd things going down, dystopia type AI, nuclear war, etc. It's getting a Lil scary but I feel dumb if I say it like that. But 100% we're not going down a very good road rn
hi ben! so like a week ago, i stumbled upon your youtube channel and now, i’m addicted lol :p anyway, my drama is i just graduated high school and i can’t seem to find myself and i still don’t know what i wanted to do in the future. it makes me severely depressed as all of my friends seem to get ahold of their life together. financially or academically. it just makes me scared that i’d just be stuck behind but i do think my situation is helpless. i’m not smart or rich. do you have any similar experiences similar to this that you can share? (i appreciate you a lot ben thank you for existing ❤)
tbh I think it is seasonal depression because I feel like a lot of us didn't feel like this during the summer and now we feel like this bc it's a different season
⚠️Drama Alert⚠️ hi Ben! So there is this girl that I had been friends with for about 3 years. So one day I asked her to go trick-or-treating with me. She was already going with someone else and I was totally fine with that. That Halloween she seemed to be avoiding me for some reason. When I found her I started to run up excitedly to her but she RAN AWAY FROM ME! When I asked her about it days later she IGNORED ME AND SAID NOTHING!! A few days later i asked her about Halloween and the ignoring me AGAIN. when I asked her she said she didn’t want to hurt my feelings (bullshit). When I asked her about the ignoring me she just shrugged it off and said she didn’t know. She continued to act like we were on good terms. One day I totally confronted her about everything she had done such as the avoiding, tone deftness, and other times she had been a really shitty friend (such as her refusing to give me a glass of water and then getting mad at my friend for sticking up for me). I told her strait up that she had been totally rude to me and others and had literally HURT me! I told her I had to hear what she had to say for herself and she said “IDK I guess I wasn’t really thinking at the time” NO APOLOGY NO NOTHING!! (Keep in mind she has always been super rich and had everything handed to her on a silver platter) Should I drop her? Why do you think she did this? If your reading this, thank you so much Ben love your videos!
Ben I just want you to know you matter so much. I love hearing your voice and you’re the kindest person ever. Thanks for making these videos and podcasts.
I felt the same way for a while, until i looked at the facts and evidence. Nobody knows for sure abt the future but this seems most realistic to me. The humanity goes through different phases through history, where some peoples generations are absolutely amazing and some suck ass. But there is always a cycle and we are kinda just in the end of the cycle, which doesn't mean things arent gonna be great again but things like the government and the way we take care of our planet are going to get better in the future. Just like after things get better, they get worse again. idk i recommend you look into this, there are alot of things like presedency that play a big part in this but im no professional.👁️👁️ anyway i love your channel sm! and ik youre gonna get through whatchu going through eventually. you inspire me dude, im thinking about starting a channel like this❤️ just keep going and dont lose hope ;)
You always have to look at facts. Another reason people feel very negative is because of the media and news that’s always negative. There are real problems in the world but there are also a lot of helpers trying to fix these problems. Everyone has to be more optimistic and brighter to help the world.
I honestly thought I was alone in all of this but literally everything you said resonated with me- In consolation you’re not crazy,, I’ve also been sensing the impending doom of humanity
I FUCKING HAD A DEAM ABOUT THIS EXACT SHIT LAST NIGHT- I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS RECENTLY WITH MY MUM. LITERALLY I HAD A DREAM THERE WAS A GIANT WAR AND IT WIPED OUT EVERYONE... I TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH MY MUM THIS MORNINH LIKE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD GENIUS MINDS THINK ALIKE. LOVE YOU BEN
No comment drama? Bombastic side eye. Joking I love you Ben so much ❤ Also here some dramas for next episode. So my friend just got a bf and that’s great, but they like never talk so it’s like nothing changed between them 😂. And for me… I had someone prank date me. So yea I was at a sleepover and we were prank calling her boyfriend and some of his friends (two other whom I both had a crush on DONT JUDGE ME) but one of them I had really liked and he had called for like a split 3 seconds to say “I like you” then hung up. CRIMINAL OFFENSIVE SIDE EYE. But then I was asking him some questions and then it lead to me like asking “so do you wanna be together?” He said yes, but the next time we went to school, I heard like 2 ppl saying something like it was a prank. Bombastic side eye.-sorry I’m obsessed with that meme rn lol- so I texted him after school and he was like “yea it was a prank, I just felt bad telling you”……… I cried in my room for not even an hour cuz my mom brung us down to eat, and I cried just enough to make it visible to my mom that I cried. I thankfully avoided the conversation. But then I was in my head calling him a RAT because it’s SICKENING that ANYONE would do that, and he knew I liked him. I haven’t called him a rat to his face. But now I’m just gonna try and get over him and stick to this other guy who would probably be MUCH better to me. What would you have done??
I love your podcast Ben! this episode is so true I feel the same about the times right now or maybe it just is seasonal depression 😭I can't tell I am just starting to hate everything again lol.
I can really relate to this especially in my beliefs like Akare zaman (a belief in Islam about the world ending) and I feel like this shows us how far we have come as humanity
Nah because ive been feleing this for so long and ive though about the fact i litrally dont think i every wanna have kids purley because like why would i bring an inocent child into a world where they wouldnt most likey be witnessing mass extinctions
i agree that it feels like the world is ending, but honestly, I think we'll be okay. we'll get through whatever is coming because that's what has always happened. and it is so easy to get in our heads and think that whatever is coming is unconquerable, but it isn't and humans are more remarkable than we even know.
I don’t know if this is just me… but whenever it snows outside, I feel sad, because I think about how my grandchildren will probably never experience this.
lyn lapid , melaine martinez ,cavetown , girl in red , james the 7th , baby bugs , lana del rey ,mitski , and madeline gilbert have rlly good song ! for anyone who want to listen to new artists!
My drama: Ok soo were gonna go back to November, soo there was this guy I liked I only have one class with him but we were friends I guess, but I told his best friend and like I thought he liked me back like his best friend gave him my jacket, but like we had this football game during school and I was with my friends and across there was this group of guys who like played football for the school but the guys they weren’t playing, anyways I saw one of his friends walking up the bleachers towards the group and I ask him hey is E here? (Let’s just call him that) he was like “yea why?” “Does one of your friends like him” I was like “ yea sure” and then he BROUGHT HIM OVER I’m was literally so dead and then later on in the game I saw him with this girl that was in my band class last year and then I found out from one of her friends that was my friend too that they were dating now, tbh I kinda cried a little but that doesn’t matter because they broke up and she moved. now in February we had a field trip to a skating rink the week before we were talking about it and I had a plan: I told him my friend had a crush on him when I did but I told him ill show him her at the skating rink. Sooo at the skating rink we kinda hanged out and he didn’t even ask about her and we just like hanged out and skated and then I asked my friend to get his number and she got it and like I didn’t text him bc I was nervous but when we got back we had to go the band room get our stuff and wait for your parents to pick you up so I grab my stuff and go put it outside in this little half circle idk what it is and I went back in there and I asked him I he likes anyone and he like thought about it for like 1 minute and he said idk so I was ok and I go back outside and I’m sitting with my stuff and he comes up behind me and he was like standing around and I told him that he could sit and we just talked until I got picked up. And a couple weeks after I thought he was mad at me because someone came up and asked if I was dating this guy and I thought maybe someone told him I was dating him,but just a week ago before we left for spring break and I texted my friend and asked her to tell him and she wrote a note and it was the cringiest thing ever but he ended up likening me back I haven’t been back to school yet but I’m nervous. ( sorry ab the long story love u ben)
You are not alone..I was thinking the same for 2 years and I don't think that's depression too It made me feel that iam not alone by seeing you talking about iy
Hi Ben I'm your new biggest fan😁 I love watching your videos it helps me get through difficult times. You really impress me & I'm very grateful that I found a new favorite UA-camr I love you Ben I really enjoyed your content ❤️
On a spiritual note recently Pluto is in Aquarius for the next 20 years which revolves over revolution,technology, new beginnings new humanity. There also a mass spiritual awakening life is about to be really different look into it there more to life then technology and how we been living.
The humanity changed since tik tok came people just do crazy things for likes and followers and they got crazy im lucky I never fell in love with that app and uninstall it and because of the pandemic (2020) I felt that it started to change everything
I swear....I was talking to AI about my life problems (not weird at all) and AI asked me if I have any friends.. :( I said benoftheweek and AI responded and said that he doesnt count and I have no real friends 😭
Of course there are bad things in the world. I like to think that history is not a circle, but a spiral and that history does repeat but in different ways. Humanity has gone through awful times. World wars, epidemics, inflations and it may seem like this is the only time these things have been happening but differently. Everyone has nostalgia even young people so we will all look at the past and think “wow right now sucks!” One other reason that it may seem as if the end is near is because of the news and media. Now we have the technology to look at news 24/7 and news is ALWAYS NEGATIVE. we always see the bad things and never the good things and when there are bad things there are good things as well. There are so many activists fighting for climate change. People are helping animals and taking care of them. People are trying to prevent bad things from happening. So yes bad things happen. I too think the world is ending some times but people are helping and humans will get through bad times.
i once read this book called scurry where humans disappeared bc we kept declaring war and ruining the environment and ngl thats kinda whats happening rn 😭😭😭😭😭 sorry guys the wolves are gonna get us
with the climate change stuff, to be honest its not about individual action its about governmental and institutional action. like me trying to reduce my plastic waste, travel emissions etc is so so minimal compared to what these massive plants and companies do. do i still try bc guilt? yes yes i do lol
It literally feels like we have slipped into an alternative fked up timeline…… and the apocalypse is nigh. And I’m 44. This is really bad. This is where we are at :(
Yea everything that has been happening in the past 3 years makes it look like the world is about to end, but i'm sure it won't, at least anytime soon. We will get through this though and we'll be able to face a time of good and happiness. Also this caught my attention, but NASA said that thankfully, our solar system will not be affected when the Milky Way crashes into Andromeda. Instead, it will also the sky into some sort of cool light show but too bad we wont be able to see it.
It's crazy to me how ben is reflecting the exact things i have been thinking about for the past weeks.
ME TOO. TT
SAME
You're not alone my good sir.
Nah fr tho. I know a lot is happening right now, and it seems like things are just gonna end, but it wont. Hardship happens, and we've always gotten through it. Every single time. It will happen again, we will push through, and we'll be ok. On a personal level, too. Everyone will be ok. Just take it one hour at a time. Literally one hour. Look forward to getting in bed and laying down; thats something to look forward to.
Just sucks that people, especially in the US, are so divided right now. All the negativity is coming from a loud minority, however, and just remember that MOST people are good.
Amen brother
Yes, we will continue to live on
I LOVE THIS PODCAST IT LITERALLY SAVES ME EVERY TIME I BURN OUT OR HIT A SLUMP THANK YOU BEN AND CONGRATS
Me too
real

SAME I LOOK FORWARD TO IT EVERY WEEK
SAMEE IT MAKES ME SM MROE HAPPIER

why is this my life rn-
you feel it in your stomach
why the hell do you have to feel it in your stomach
☺️
LMAO WHEN DID I MAKE THESE COMMENTS?? 😭😭😭😭
nah ur definitely not alone my guy, ive felt this since 2020 😭at least we're all in this together tho 💀
SAMEEEE
it feels like the world is falling more and more into a dystopia
What's scary is how much things are inflated / getting expensive and more people are homeless too. Like it feels kinda weird to me, people are in more desperate situations.

Same 😂
Lol
NAH THIS COMMENT IS STOLEN
@@Jessica.pimsri from who? lol
@@granddfm I've seen these comments in Ben's videos all the time
i’ve been accually thinking about this for the past few weeks and i’m convinced there’s no ways to stop humans from being selfish (caring about money, power etc)we basically need to start sucking up the co2??(idk lol) maybe create some genetically modified trees that are specifically designed to do so. we then plant that in a ton of places like on the roofs (we would have to accommodate the roof though).it would accually look so cool.anyways that’s what i’ve pondered so far :”)
but yea i do agree that it feels like the worlds ending TT
I love this pod sm- not just bc its Ben but he genuinely is such a good person-
yes this is what i've been feeling lately like even with my parents, they've become chronically online and dont want to go outside or talk to people if they dont have similar views and im like WHAAAAAA and even at dinner too- they're always plugged in when i take a min to appericate the food
BEN YOU ARE NOT HAVING SEASONAL DEPRESSION IN THIS SITUATION. I AGREE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL LESS INSANE, ALTHOUGH IM STILL TERRIFIED.
DONT FEEL TERRIFIED ITS GETTING BETTER :D

you should help jose get a restraining order against brittney

drama mama
i have friends who i’m 90% sure talk bad about me all the time when i’m not there and i’m always alone in arguments
they don’t invite me out to places rather i invite them out and usually they sleepover after the hangout i organised.
i have great times with them but i feel like they don’t even want me around since they prefer each other
i don’t want to seperate from them because they make me happy most of the time, but there’s snippets where i think they despise me like now
what do i do ben ? -chels

⚠️Drama Alert⚠️
hi Ben! So there is this girl that I had been friends with for about 3 years. So one day I asked her to go trick-or-treating with me. She was already going with someone else and I was totally fine with that. That Halloween she seemed to be avoiding me for some reason. When I found her I started to run up excitedly to her but she RAN AWAY FROM ME! When I asked her about it days later she IGNORED ME AND SAID NOTHING!! A few days later i asked her about Halloween and the ignoring me AGAIN. when I asked her she said she didn’t want to hurt my feelings (bullshit). When I asked her about the ignoring me she just shrugged it off and said she didn’t know. She continued to act like we were on good terms. One day I totally confronted her about everything she had done such as the avoiding, tone deftness, and other times she had been a really shitty friend (such as her refusing to give me a glass of water and then getting mad at my friend for sticking up for me). I told her strait up that she had been totally rude to me and others and had literally HURT me! I told her I had to hear what she had to say for herself and she said “IDK I guess I wasn’t really thinking at the time” NO APOLOGY NO NOTHING!! (Keep in mind she has always been super rich and had everything handed to her on a silver platter) Should I drop her? Why do you think she did this? If your reading this, thank you so much Ben love your videos!
my guy drop that girl she doesn’t deserve the energy you’re spending on her, she sounds immature
Ben I just want you to know you matter so much. I love hearing your voice and you’re the kindest person ever. Thanks for making these videos and podcasts.
I felt the same way for a while, until i looked at the facts and evidence. Nobody knows for sure abt the future but this seems most realistic to me. The humanity goes through different phases through history, where some peoples generations are absolutely amazing and some suck ass. But there is always a cycle and we are kinda just in the end of the cycle, which doesn't mean things arent gonna be great again but things like the government and the way we take care of our planet are going to get better in the future. Just like after things get better, they get worse again. idk i recommend you look into this, there are alot of things like presedency that play a big part in this but im no professional.👁️👁️
anyway i love your channel sm! and ik youre gonna get through whatchu going through eventually. you inspire me dude, im thinking about starting a channel like this❤️
just keep going and dont lose hope ;)
You always have to look at facts. Another reason people feel very negative is because of the media and news that’s always negative. There are real problems in the world but there are also a lot of helpers trying to fix these problems. Everyone has to be more optimistic and brighter to help the world.
I honestly thought I was alone in all of this but literally everything you said resonated with me-
In consolation you’re not crazy,, I’ve also been sensing the impending doom of humanity
I FUCKING HAD A DEAM ABOUT THIS EXACT SHIT LAST NIGHT- I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS RECENTLY WITH MY MUM. LITERALLY I HAD A DREAM THERE WAS A GIANT WAR AND IT WIPED OUT EVERYONE... I TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH MY MUM THIS MORNINH LIKE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD GENIUS MINDS THINK ALIKE. LOVE YOU BEN
No comment drama? Bombastic side eye.
Joking I love you Ben so much ❤
Also here some dramas for next episode. So my friend just got a bf and that’s great, but they like never talk so it’s like nothing changed between them 😂. And for me… I had someone prank date me. So yea I was at a sleepover and we were prank calling her boyfriend and some of his friends (two other whom I both had a crush on DONT JUDGE ME) but one of them I had really liked and he had called for like a split 3 seconds to say “I like you” then hung up. CRIMINAL OFFENSIVE SIDE EYE. But then I was asking him some questions and then it lead to me like asking “so do you wanna be together?” He said yes, but the next time we went to school, I heard like 2 ppl saying something like it was a prank. Bombastic side eye.-sorry I’m obsessed with that meme rn lol- so I texted him after school and he was like “yea it was a prank, I just felt bad telling you”………
I cried in my room for not even an hour cuz my mom brung us down to eat, and I cried just enough to make it visible to my mom that I cried. I thankfully avoided the conversation. But then I was in my head calling him a RAT because it’s SICKENING that ANYONE would do that, and he knew I liked him. I haven’t called him a rat to his face. But now I’m just gonna try and get over him and stick to this other guy who would probably be MUCH better to me. What would you have done??
I love your podcast Ben! this episode is so true I feel the same about the times right now or maybe it just is seasonal depression 😭I can't tell I am just starting to hate everything again lol.
Like frr,I swear I thought I was the only one who felt like that which you just explained.im so glad that I'm not alone.
ben please make a video talking to an elderly person about this i need to know as well😭
No you’re definitely not alone in this
you know it's a good video when the first thing you see is "the end is near" and there is a fire in the background
I can really relate to this especially in my beliefs like Akare zaman (a belief in Islam about the world ending) and I feel like this shows us how far we have come as humanity
exactly, im extremely picky with who i look up to on the internet because so far most ive looked up to ended up being problematic
Nah because ive been feleing this for so long and ive though about the fact i litrally dont think i every wanna have kids purley because like why would i bring an inocent child into a world where they wouldnt most likey be witnessing mass extinctions
i agree that it feels like the world is ending, but honestly, I think we'll be okay. we'll get through whatever is coming because that's what has always happened. and it is so easy to get in our heads and think that whatever is coming is unconquerable, but it isn't and humans are more remarkable than we even know.
I agree.
I live for this podcast 😊
You hit 6 mill congrats 🎉

My drama:
Ok soo were gonna go back to November, soo there was this guy I liked I only have one class with him but we were friends I guess, but I told his best friend and like I thought he liked me back like his best friend gave him my jacket, but like we had this football game during school and I was with my friends and across there was this group of guys who like played football for the school but the guys they weren’t playing, anyways I saw one of his friends walking up the bleachers towards the group and I ask him hey is E here? (Let’s just call him that) he was like “yea why?” “Does one of your friends like him” I was like “ yea sure” and then he BROUGHT HIM OVER I’m was literally so dead and then later on in the game I saw him with this girl that was in my band class last year and then I found out from one of her friends that was my friend too that they were dating now, tbh I kinda cried a little but that doesn’t matter because they broke up and she moved. now in February we had a field trip to a skating rink the week before we were talking about it and I had a plan: I told him my friend had a crush on him when I did but I told him ill show him her at the skating rink. Sooo at the skating rink we kinda hanged out and he didn’t even ask about her and we just like hanged out and skated and then I asked my friend to get his number and she got it and like I didn’t text him bc I was nervous but when we got back we had to go the band room get our stuff and wait for your parents to pick you up so I grab my stuff and go put it outside in this little half circle idk what it is and I went back in there and I asked him I he likes anyone and he like thought about it for like 1 minute and he said idk so I was ok and I go back outside and I’m sitting with my stuff and he comes up behind me and he was like standing around and I told him that he could sit and we just talked until I got picked up. And a couple weeks after I thought he was mad at me because someone came up and asked if I was dating this guy and I thought maybe someone told him I was dating him,but just a week ago before we left for spring break and I texted my friend and asked her to tell him and she wrote a note and it was the cringiest thing ever but he ended up likening me back I haven’t been back to school yet but I’m nervous. ( sorry ab the long story love u ben)
I literally don’t think I’m gonna live to the age of 40 like legit
I have had issues with existential dread for months I just worry about the future.
It’s ok! You don’t need to worry about dumb things like that. :) I mean a bunch of Christians here probably haven’t read what the Bible says about it.
You are not alone..I was thinking the same for 2 years and I don't think that's depression too
It made me feel that iam not alone by seeing you talking about iy
6:26 BEN I TALKED TO SOMEONE FROM THE HOLOCAUST AT SCHOOL SHE WAS SO CUTE I CANNOT U SHOULD ALSO DO THAT

On a spiritual note recently Pluto is in Aquarius for the next 20 years which revolves over revolution,technology, new beginnings new humanity. There also a mass spiritual awakening life is about to be really different look into it there more to life then technology and how we been living.
"THE END IS NEAR"
and yes, we all are one of the last generations to be on this flying rock I guess. (idk maybe)
Ben its kinda weird how i felt the exact same , came to yt then saw this vid come up.
Damn I love Ben so much he helps me so much with another and he is FUCKING HILARIOUS
The humanity changed since tik tok came people just do crazy things for likes and followers and they got crazy im lucky I never fell in love with that app and uninstall it and because of the pandemic (2020) I felt that it started to change everything
it's summer where I am and I can assure you its not seasonal depression-- um everything is a bit fucked right now
I feel existential dread on some days , but I try and shut it out cuz I might unscrew my screws and not function
I just come for the intro 😭 it’s so catchy
can we just appreciate how ben just brightens up our day love you
I love your podcast I literally relate to you so much

Ur right :o
“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”
Matthew 24:40
Bro made me look around my room, look at everything I love, and said “it’s all going to be dust.” Bro made me more depressed than I already am 💀
I swear....I was talking to AI about my life problems (not weird at all) and AI asked me if I have any friends.. :( I said benoftheweek and AI responded and said that he doesnt count and I have no real friends 😭
LMAO
ben hair look so fluffy
Of course there are bad things in the world. I like to think that history is not a circle, but a spiral and that history does repeat but in different ways. Humanity has gone through awful times. World wars, epidemics, inflations and it may seem like this is the only time these things have been happening but differently. Everyone has nostalgia even young people so we will all look at the past and think “wow right now sucks!” One other reason that it may seem as if the end is near is because of the news and media. Now we have the technology to look at news 24/7 and news is ALWAYS NEGATIVE. we always see the bad things and never the good things and when there are bad things there are good things as well. There are so many activists fighting for climate change. People are helping animals and taking care of them. People are trying to prevent bad things from happening. So yes bad things happen. I too think the world is ending some times but people are helping and humans will get through bad times.
i once read this book called scurry where humans disappeared bc we kept declaring war and ruining the environment and ngl thats kinda whats happening rn 😭😭😭😭😭 sorry guys the wolves are gonna get us
with the climate change stuff, to be honest its not about individual action its about governmental and institutional action. like me trying to reduce my plastic waste, travel emissions etc is so so minimal compared to what these massive plants and companies do. do i still try bc guilt? yes yes i do lol
32:10 the voice acting goin hard benjamin🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I totally get what ur saying. I feel like things are going hectic and too far bad, yk?
It literally feels like we have slipped into an alternative fked up timeline…… and the apocalypse is nigh. And I’m 44. This is really bad. This is where we are at :(
I LOVE THIS PODCAST I FALL ASLEEP TO IT fr
SAME HERE BUT I END UP WATCHING LOADS THEN FALLING ASLEEP BC THEYRE SO INTERESTING
@@xonoraa. Ikr
Yea everything that has been happening in the past 3 years makes it look like the world is about to end, but i'm sure it won't, at least anytime soon. We will get through this though and we'll be able to face a time of good and happiness.
Also this caught my attention, but NASA said that thankfully, our solar system will not be affected when the Milky Way crashes into Andromeda. Instead, it will also the sky into some sort of cool light show but too bad we wont be able to see it.
For climate change actually the ozon hole is shrinking slowly, its still really bad tho
This podcast is the reason I wake up on Wednesday
