Every now and then i keep watching some of his streams. He sure did had a big impact of my perspective of life in general. Been trying to find streamers with the same vibe but this man is still irreplaceable tbh
Lol absolutely not. Every love or life coach will tell you that idolizing someone drives them away from you. Simp is just a made up word for people that give without receiving
Omega_Ronan Yes its a balance of both. I was mean to my gf when we first got together thats wat hooked her in, now im actually in love wit her and i show her that, but i still show her how mean i am sometimes. Women love that shit. And ive told her all this shit before and she never denied it.
Damn man. My last gf just made fun of me and due to her mental issues i couldn't tell if she was joking or not. I was always tryna be nice to her but i never got anything back until we made plans to meet(due to the quarantine that wasn't alot)
I'll be real, if I didn't see this today, I wouldn't have realized how hard I'm simping for this one person. I've been doing things that happened to me in the past, to try and gain favor, and now that I see what I'm turning into, I'm absolutely disgusted. Don't simp ladies and gents, love will come. Never give up your morals just for the name of love, because if something goes wrong, you'll have nothing left.
the fun part is when you realize that they aren't interested in you after simping, then after you move on you realize how much of a clown you were as a simp. 0/10 wouldn't recommend
@@nejihyuga8094 no this is the best part, because now you can move on and reflect :) absolutely nothing wrong with making an effort with people, but there are literally millions of people out there man, one person who makes no effort with you is not worth it B) you got this
@@LilRipper76 Example 1: Person 1 - "Wow, that's a nice shirt!" (pull) Person 2, sarcastically - "Thanks, I dressed myself today!" (push) At this point, Person 2 might be interested, so to establish balance, Person 1 should throw a joke (push) back at Person 2. If it goes well, they'll joke back and forth for a moment, until Person 2 reciprocates the compliment (pull) in one of two ways. A: compliment P1 on something they're wearing (big pull, might build tension) B: say something about where they got the shirt, or that it's their favorite shirt and a reason why it's their favorite (normal pull, but keeps conversation open) Example 2, same starter: Person 1 - "Wow, that's a nice shirt!" (Pull) Person 2 - "Haha, thanks!" (Too much tension) At this point, P2 is uninterested or intimidated, so P1 can either lighten the mood with some sort of joke to relieve the tension (has to be a great joke with a great read on P2's personality), or just drop the conversation. If P2 was interested and P1 drops the convo, P2 will try to pull P1 back. In both cases, if P2 doesn't throw any push or pull towards P1, they're likely uninterested. You just have to judge how much pull is too much when you're leading the conversation, and be able to respond with the right amount of push that lets them take control of the conversation. Don't speak over them if they start taking control, and try to mainly stay on topic with where they bring the conversation. If they don't keep balance with the push/pull, they likely aren't interested. Once you've established enough of a connection, you can do push/pull simultaneously by making a lighthearted joke about something they like. If you both like the same anime, make a joke about the anime while also speaking in a tone or way that makes it clear you also like it, so the conversation stays open to things you're both interested in, and can talk about in detail and laugh about equally.
@@TheTrippleDDD3 to summarize the video, the pull is how you're trying to attract someone's attention, or "pull them into your life." When you're interested in someone, you try showing all your best qualities, flattering them, and doing acts of kindness hoping it will "pull them in." That gets tiring, since nobody likes being pulled around all the time, physically, emotionally, and metaphorically. So you balance it out with a push. You make a joke or comment that pushes the conversation away from being entirely about how great you are, or how great you think they are, to create a bit of small distance between you two so that they have the space to rest and feel more comfortable. Everyone needs a bit of space so they can think about how they truly feel about other people, so you have to lightly "push" someone away to let them have that space. I could go into some "push/pull" metaphors, but I type way too much as is. If you want one, though, just ask.
I was never interested in Etika's content back then, sure, I was disappointed when I found out that he committed suicide, but I was not very affected. After watching this video, I can safely say that I have learned more about girls and relationships from Etika, then I have ever learned from anyone else. Suddenly, knowing this makes his death hit me much harder.
Exactly, I only watched his exploring the deep Web videos before his death, and seeing the death of such a happy and kind man hurt, seeing his deterioration over time. I cant imagine what it was like for long time fans
This man was like everyone's cool, older brother. He knew how to goof around and play things up, but he also knew how to keep it real. I still miss those days where I'd be staying up late at night working on a school project that I should've done a long time ago, and I would get a notification that Etika was streaming. Having those streams in the background while I worked was the only thing keeping me sane. Rest in peace, you beautiful bastard.
Etikas soul was just so beautiful, he was an amazing person in so many ways and left too soon. I try to be a better person because of him, I wanna make him proud. I wanna be the best joycon I can be and succeed, I wanna live and be happy, I want to smile!
@@Charlie-hv3dh Im soo sad. I never got to watch him.... and now they deleted his legacy from youtube i can only find some clips before the tragedy but that's just like not real you know
This man is explaining CORE unspoken concepts of social etiquette and developing charisma. Etika was such an intelligent guy who danced around and played the fool for the camera while hiding his real pain, where it ultimately consumed him. Thank you for your wisdom & for being real Etika. I'm sorry you couldn't find what you needed to help you keep going on this Earth. GL to your future endeavours.
when you have a girlfriend and just want to hear his voice. wasnt even a big fan but suicide is always horrible, uncle recently jumped from a 4 story building. Rip Etika.
While not the most sophisticated advice, I'll be damned if this isn't one of the most accessible explanations of general social interaction I've seen. Etika always kept it real. Here's to the 29 good ass years the Earth had Etika.
Needed this today, I’ve been feeling uncomfortable with my relationship and I think this man helped me figure out why. Thanks Etika. Still lighting up my day beyond the grave.
I mean, we were toxic but always fooling around. Whenever things went serious our true feelings always came out and the whole chat would be supportive and loving. The JoyConBoyz were toxic but loving.
@Jack Stewart come on stop it guys cuz at the end of the day looks DON'T MATTER. Its what inside you that truly matters. If we could see our own soul, it would be the beautiful thing you could ever witness! When we die, our flesh will stay on Earth and your body will get rotten but your soul will transcende another place and will not rotten. Just love yourself, be confident, smile and be respectful. I promise you that you are a beautiful person! God bless you 🙏😊🙃
@@Mark-xw5yt you're right about that honestly. But me im not afraid and insecure the way i look. You can be the hottest girl in the world but if you have a ugly personality, that's a HELL NO for me. In fact you became ugly with your shity personality
@Friedrich im not saying looks don't make. Im actually agree that looks are important but if you're personality is either empty or rude then you can shove your good looks up your a$&. So yeah guy just make sure you have good hygiene, you smell good , be yourself and you're making yourself more attractive to the right people
@Friedrich man you don't need to be with a girl for true happiness. And trust me just follow your heart you you'll know where you want to go in your life. Love yourself, focus on your dreams and be a better man in life. Everything is Gonna be cool for you if you doing this
Stress, later the things you'll build in life will come crashing down onto you. That's the way I see it, with the shit going on, and I think it was too much...
His chat is so immature, while watching this it really showed how immature his chat was and didn’t really appreciate him (not all his viewers, but a good amount)
@@thestuffandstuffchannel1072 There's something called being respectful don't be dumb there's a difference between playing around and being a dick head we be nice so that DOESNT happen regardless if we know if someone's got suicidal thoughts
"Etika I love your clothes. also you look so cute right now. though you always look beautiful. your so stunning and your hair is perfect." - some dude in the chat
Imagine Cory if he just had no filter and let loose while still havin just that, cool energy that just makes everyone around him and everyone that watched him just wanna laugh with and be buds with him desmond was really something special,
I wasn't an Etika fan, I used to hear about him from time to time and watched a couple clips from his Xenoblade 2 streams... yet I still feel the need sometimes to look him up again. His death really hit me, he seemed like a genuinely nice person. I still can't believe he's gone.
Never watched him when he was alive, he seems to have been a very genuine guy. Condolences to his fans, friends and family, I seem to have missed out on a great content creator and a great human being. Rest easy Etika
I was doing this whole push pull thing perfectly and one day she just lost interest. She was hella flirty all the time and then she just stopped. I don't think she was the one but it was nice while it lasted
This is actually great advice. He is teaching us to be generally nice human being. His telling you not to be a dick and also not to be a simp. Most of the dating advices I've heard from dudes are either be slimy or be a total douchebag .Actually treat women or the person you like any other person. This is great advice
Ok so I was a romantic kind of guy but I am also an introvert. I fell in love once with a girl and I couldn't get over her. So I did all the stupid shit you do when you are a teen. Wrote her poems, complimented her... But being also an introvert, I now see that it must have been so fucking embarrassing for that girl... When someone compliments me too much, I literally shrink and I feel all the water in my body turn into sand... Why didn't I think of that before? Etika put some words onto this and now I understand... Pure and simple logic, but damn, thank you. More people need to hear this
Upon seeing this, I realized that Etika's a really nice guy and I would really love watching his streams. Too bad it's all too late now. Thank you UA-cam for putting this on my recommended
About 1 year after finding this video I successfully found a girl and lost my virginity using his advice. Good luck to anyone reading this. Rest Well Etika
Going back through this stuff makes me really regret not knowing him before he passed. Mad respect for this guy. Rest in Peace Etika. Much love to his family and friends.
tfw I've mastered this with guys and girls I'm not attracted to, but it all falls apart when I'm near an attractive girl. ;-; But damn, this is some solid advice from Etika. The guy's smart.
LiveHedgehog Same problem, but a way to overcome this is just treat everybody the same as you treat the people your comfortable with , one thing I noticed about girls is that they are curious, they become interested in things they can't figure out, so try acting interested in her but not entirely interested and treat her like you would treat anyone else you know, also if she's a super fine ass girl then it would probably take a shot at her ego if she doesn't have a BF already becuase she probably has a lot of other dudes that text her on the daily complimenting her and you'd be one of the few does that talks to her for her and another thing try keeping the compliments at a minimum because your boosting her ego if you do it to much so try doing it every now and again,but also it's best to change your state of mind and just know that there will be people who like you and people who don't and learn and grow from those experiences and move forward.
I remembered this advice and, even being a girl, took it to heart and started using it. I'm now in a relationship and couldn't be happier. Miss you Etika.
All time favorite etika moment. He taught me a lot in this video. Im sad he cant make these type of these videos anymore. Etika, I hope you found your peace, and rest easy. Say hi to Mac Miller and Nipsey for us. God bless Joyconboyz.
I can't state enough how much this advice changed my life. I've been living off this advice since this stream, and my social life has been immeasurably better. Desmond, I wish I could thank you for the impact you had on me and so many other people. I miss you brother. Joycon men for life, Rest easy, Des.
This is a strange feeling because now that he has passed away, I feel like I'm a young boy listening to a wise master that left behind all the secrets. This is straight out of an anime
He was talking about simps way before it was a thing but not in a harmful way to poke fun but to teach which is one of the main reasons why we felt and still do feel so lost of his death rip etika
I was always shy, never knew how to talk to girls and didn’t have a figure there to teach me. Etika’s advice helped me a lot, I started being confident with myself and more communicative. Even if I didn’t get the girl in the end, and all I have left is a broken heart. I’m still thankful for what I’ve learned and the experience I had. Didn’t think I’d be this far without him. Thanks Etika 🖤
I’ll be honest and say that I never watched Etika and getting to know him even after his death is real saddening to know how much of a great guy he was :( RIP ETIKA
SirDipping_Sauce watch his darkweb surfing vids im glad to say i would watch em live and die of laughter this dude was hilarious sad he passed too soon😔
Etika is 100% right. I have "nice guy syndrome". Its left me friendzoned with the biggest crush of my life, my biggest mistake ever. His explanation was surprisingly mature for Etika lmao
Streamers are acting, ive met some LoL popular streamers, they all wanted older audience than they have, and are decent people. Also doomer here, its hard to get interested to girl and keep interacting with her. It sucks.
"surprisingly mature" Not surprising at all tbh, Etika has always had a very wise and serious side to him. It's just that people had only eyes for the over-the-top Etika from the reaction videos. As a content creator, trust me, there's nothing worse than feeling like you're living a lie and showing only that side of yourself that others like but that you've come to hate.
The sad thing is that at around 8:35 , That He's actually gone. Man I miss Etika, he's wholesome and funny. Probably taken me out of dark days just by watching his streams and his humor in videos, he has given so much advice and tbh I did implement into real time and actually landed a job which was pretty big, even went back to school, found a girlfriend and then it happened... It broke my heart and almost fell back into that dark place in my life. RIP man, I miss you.
Dude, I've only learned about Etika last year's but he seemed like such an amazing person it's makes me so sad that he's gone, he was such a good person
I found out about Etika a few weeks before he died and I used to watch his clips every day. I figured him out on twitter one day when police were at his apartment and I wanted to see what he did on his channel, and it turns out, he was a good ass fucking UA-camr. RIP Etika we love you

Example 2, same starter:
Person 1 - "Wow, that's a nice shirt!" (Pull)
Person 2 - "Haha, thanks!" (Too much tension)
At this point, P2 is uninterested or intimidated, so P1 can either lighten the mood with some sort of joke to relieve the tension (has to be a great joke with a great read on P2's personality), or just drop the conversation. If P2 was interested and P1 drops the convo, P2 will try to pull P1 back.
In both cases, if P2 doesn't throw any push or pull towards P1, they're likely uninterested.

When we die, our flesh will stay on Earth and your body will get rotten but your soul will transcende another place and will not rotten. Just love yourself, be confident, smile and be respectful. I promise you that you are a beautiful person! God bless you 🙏😊🙃
@@hypernel1798 Not everyone thinks like that though, so looks will matter. It's not the only factor but it does matter
@@Mark-xw5yt you're right about that honestly. But me im not afraid and insecure the way i look. You can be the hottest girl in the world but if you have a ugly personality, that's a HELL NO for me. In fact you became ugly with your shity personality
@Friedrich im not saying looks don't make. Im actually agree that looks are important but if you're personality is either empty or rude then you can shove your good looks up your a$&. So yeah guy just make sure you have good hygiene, you smell good , be yourself and you're making yourself more attractive to the right people
@Friedrich man you don't need to be with a girl for true happiness. And trust me just follow your heart you you'll know where you want to go in your life. Love yourself, focus on your dreams and be a better man in life. Everything is Gonna be cool for you if you doing this
Such an articulate, smart young man. Sad to see him go, and makes me wonder what happened to him mentally.
Stress, later the things you'll build in life will come crashing down onto you.
That's the way I see it, with the shit going on, and I think it was too much...
a combination of shit online and things we dont know about
His chat is so immature, while watching this it really showed how immature his chat was and didn’t really appreciate him (not all his viewers, but a good amount)
bluhe 679 that’s the internet for you
Ummmmm do you think they knew he was gonna commite then
Toxic ones still loved him (not the clown spamming ones)
@@thestuffandstuffchannel1072 There's something called being respectful don't be dumb there's a difference between playing around and being a dick head we be nice so that DOESNT happen regardless if we know if someone's got suicidal thoughts
I agree. This is actually some next level shit. Man is a lot smarter than people ever realize and still to this day I believe. Really humble guy.
"Etika I love your clothes. also you look so cute right now. though you always look beautiful. your so stunning and your hair is perfect." - some dude in the chat

He do have the crispiest box cut ever

Sad I never watched this guy before his death. He reminds me of Coryxkenshin, mah boy
Imagine Cory if he just had no filter and let loose while still havin just that, cool energy that just makes everyone around him and everyone that watched him just wanna laugh with and be buds with him desmond was really something special,
Honestly this advice is priceless, I've never heard someone explain this concept in such a good way. It worked for me, thanks from beyond the grave.
absolute truth^
WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS BEFORE HE PASSED?? R.I.P. Desmond.
Because you never truly realized that he was actually daddy.
Because you didn't care about him until he died

I wasn't an Etika fan, I used to hear about him from time to time and watched a couple clips from his Xenoblade 2 streams... yet I still feel the need sometimes to look him up again. His death really hit me, he seemed like a genuinely nice person. I still can't believe he's gone.
I don't use this info for coochie. I use it to build relationships with my freinds and family. Thank you Etika... I really miss you.
LIFE ADVICE WITH ETIKA JUST LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS
😭
And now its gone
How he giving life advice if he ain’t alive
Never watched him when he was alive, he seems to have been a very genuine guy. Condolences to his fans, friends and family, I seem to have missed out on a great content creator and a great human being.
Rest easy Etika
He was a good person I cried when I learned that he is dead and I didnt even knew the dude personally imagine his mother and his relatives 😭😭
Same here

You can’t always be there for everyone or everything. I’m in the same boat as you. Seems like he was a good guy.
@@sinisterminds2559 I'm pretty sure his brother died, so if anything we can rest easy that they reunited in heaven.
I was doing this whole push pull thing perfectly and one day she just lost interest. She was hella flirty all the time and then she just stopped. I don't think she was the one but it was nice while it lasted
Sometimes it be like that man, keep your head up dude. You'll find the one for you bro
Same bro, same.
You probably took too long but its good king she dont deserve you 👑
@@yrgfuego7279 realistically I wasn't interested in her but I started catching feelings as we started talking more and when she got all touchy
You need to be more forward and honest with her
This is actually great advice.
He is teaching us to be generally nice human being.
His telling you not to be a dick and also not to be a simp. Most of the dating advices I've heard from dudes are either be slimy or be a total douchebag .Actually treat women or the person you like any other person.
This is great advice

Now we lost 2 Desmond s
Ok so I was a romantic kind of guy but I am also an introvert. I fell in love once with a girl and I couldn't get over her. So I did all the stupid shit you do when you are a teen. Wrote her poems, complimented her...
But being also an introvert, I now see that it must have been so fucking embarrassing for that girl... When someone compliments me too much, I literally shrink and I feel all the water in my body turn into sand...
Why didn't I think of that before? Etika put some words onto this and now I understand... Pure and simple logic, but damn, thank you. More people need to hear this
Watching this is so weird, when I think about Etika being in his grave at this very moment :(
When he said, "I gotta piss, I've been drinking alot of alcohol" I died💀💀 miss you
iSimplyCorey he died too
joking about dying isnt funny on a dead mans vid
Dude same
@@alextonev4145 he means he died of laughter you fucking moron lol
He’s talking about the dude talking etika. Rip legend

I watched this video long ago and I never realized that I was actually using this. Thank you Etika.
tfw I've mastered this with guys and girls I'm not attracted to, but it all falls apart when I'm near an attractive girl. ;-;
But damn, this is some solid advice from Etika. The guy's smart.
LiveHedgehog Same problem, but a way to overcome this is just treat everybody the same as you treat the people your comfortable with , one thing I noticed about girls is that they are curious, they become interested in things they can't figure out, so try acting interested in her but not entirely interested and treat her like you would treat anyone else you know, also if she's a super fine ass girl then it would probably take a shot at her ego if she doesn't have a BF already becuase she probably has a lot of other dudes that text her on the daily complimenting her and you'd be one of the few does that talks to her for her and another thing try keeping the compliments at a minimum because your boosting her ego if you do it to much so try doing it every now and again,but also it's best to change your state of mind and just know that there will be people who like you and people who don't and learn and grow from those experiences and move forward.

I had never heard of him before he passed. I wish I had though, he seemed like a really nice and genuine dude.
All time favorite etika moment. He taught me a lot in this video. Im sad he cant make these type of these videos anymore. Etika, I hope you found your peace, and rest easy. Say hi to Mac Miller and Nipsey for us. God bless Joyconboyz.

Rest easy, Des.
This is a strange feeling because now that he has passed away, I feel like I'm a young boy listening to a wise master that left behind all the secrets. This is straight out of an anime
I was the 69th like
No shit
He was talking about simps way before it was a thing but not in a harmful way to poke fun but to teach which is one of the main reasons why we felt and still do feel so lost of his death
rip etika
Simps have always been around. We just didn’t call them that yet. But I get where your coming from. This man deserves better R.I.P
Simps have been around for ages they was just called under different names
The word simp has been used since before the 2000s
The words simps been around for years. It's just the trendy word right now like "cringe" was for literally everything not long ago
I was always shy, never knew how to talk to girls and didn’t have a figure there to teach me. Etika’s advice helped me a lot, I started being confident with myself and more communicative. Even if I didn’t get the girl in the end, and all I have left is a broken heart. I’m still thankful for what I’ve learned and the experience I had. Didn’t think I’d be this far without him. Thanks Etika 🖤
I miss this man so much. So goddamn much.
I’ll be honest and say that I never watched Etika and getting to know him even after his death is real saddening to know how much of a great guy he was :( RIP ETIKA
Fr
Same, I’ve seen him a few times but not as much as I should’ve
SirDipping_Sauce watch his darkweb surfing vids im glad to say i would watch em live and die of laughter this dude was hilarious sad he passed too soon😔
Same. I never even knew who he was and feel awful.
Same. Just started watching and binging his videos and I am truly saddened, especially by his chat's immaturity.
Etika is 100% right. I have "nice guy syndrome". Its left me friendzoned with the biggest crush of my life, my biggest mistake ever. His explanation was surprisingly mature for Etika lmao
Feel u man
damn dude i have always been nice.. what have i been doing all my life
@@dubstepforever99 a lot of people are for their whole life. Better late than never
Streamers are acting, ive met some LoL popular streamers, they all wanted older audience than they have, and are decent people.
Also doomer here, its hard to get interested to girl and keep interacting with her. It sucks.
"surprisingly mature"
Not surprising at all tbh, Etika has always had a very wise and serious side to him. It's just that people had only eyes for the over-the-top Etika from the reaction videos. As a content creator, trust me, there's nothing worse than feeling like you're living a lie and showing only that side of yourself that others like but that you've come to hate.
The sad thing is that at around 8:35 , That He's actually gone. Man I miss Etika, he's wholesome and funny. Probably taken me out of dark days just by watching his streams and his humor in videos, he has given so much advice and tbh I did implement into real time and actually landed a job which was pretty big, even went back to school, found a girlfriend and then it happened... It broke my heart and almost fell back into that dark place in my life. RIP man, I miss you.
Etika deserved so much fucking better then the twitch chat he had.
Even in death the internet finds a way to spread this wonderful mans wisdom🧘♂️
"Even Dead I'm The Hero"
You mean milking him for money
caba the only people doing that are douchetubers like Jaystation who don’t really care about him and just use his death as profit
I'm an introvert and this really helped me thanks etika for still being here :(
Dude, I've only learned about Etika last year's but he seemed like such an amazing person it's makes me so sad that he's gone, he was such a good person
I found out about Etika a few weeks before he died and I used to watch his clips every day. I figured him out on twitter one day when police were at his apartment and I wanted to see what he did on his channel, and it turns out, he was a good ass fucking UA-camr. RIP Etika we love you
