You need to re-define some things about your outlook you didn’t “peak” in high school that’s just the last time you felt satisfied and secure in yourself. That does not mean you will never feel like that again. Achievements and academic success are satisfying and make you feel secure in your identity but the most important thing in your life is your joy and your happiness. I believe you will learn how to find that joy within yourself and nurture it, and let it bloom. Once you are able to become a joyful person you will realize it does not matter what your worldly achievements are or your intellectual accomplishments. All that matters is the love you spread, and we all have incredibly high potential to becomes amazing people who can spread a lot of love, it’s never too late
@@YungNah-t8fIt wasn't to me, but I do struggle a lot with having been a gifted child. It helps to get reminded of what's truly important, so thanks a lot.
It's worse than that: gifted kids are practically expected to fail once they realize they have to put in effort they didn't have to and never learned how to before, and might slowly devolve into an anxious ball of imposter syndrome.
I was always told as a child that my laugh was weird(really deep and loud) and that I didn't smile properly in photos. I still remember waking up in the morning and practising my every emotion. People, ur gorgeous, u don't need to change for other people.
Если я начинаю смеяться, то мне трудно перестать до такой степени, чоо у меня кончается воздух. А улыбалась всегда во все зубы так, что глаза полностью почти закрывались. До сих пор помню все те улыбки и выражения лица, которые практиковала, чтобы лучше передать своё настроение...
You shouldn’t smile through the pain. Sure, it might help short-term, but everything will go downhill. Instead of hiding the pain, get help. Talk to someone who understands. This is coming from someone who used to do this every single day.
I feel this. I seperated myself from who I was as a child so violently that sometimes thinking about who I am and who I was feels like thinking about a different person. I think the hardest part is now I have to pick up every part of me that I broke and find a way to be okay with myself again; it feels like im constantly having to remind myself that my past is me and that I am me
I think a better way to think of it is to think of it as a part of your growth. I stayed for way to long thinking about how much I changed from the past. How I didn't laugh and smile at every stupid thing but it felt like too much at some point. Then at one point I realized that we kind of mature overtime. Although Im not sure if you completly relate with me I think its healthier to get rid of the past and to forget about it. Think of it as the past. Think of it as part of your growth, that you matured and grown older and that you changed. Dont think of that change as bad though. Change can be good. And I think that although not many may mention it I think that someone out there will like a part of you despite the fact that its not the same as in the past. Don't pretend to be someone you aren’t though because that isn't accepting change, that is forcing change upon yourself. When I say dont be someone you aren’t I mean by don't force yourself to change because you want to be someone else or to be seen as better by others. Be you. Dont let others or yourself change you. Well of course yourself and others can change you but don't let comments about your smile affect you. Its something you cant control. You shouldn't try to change something that part of you, it shouldn't be changed like that. Maby I wrote too much but I really dont want any misintepreting to come from my comment. I dont want any sort of bad affect to come onto anyone who reads this. So thats why I kinda wrote alot. Yeah. Dont listen yo my rambling if it seems like bad advice just though it would be better than no advice. Hope it helps to some degree though. 👍
@@EsteralBurtalHow about just "Be proud of who you are, and evaluate which habits and parts you want to keep. If a part doesn't bring you joy or any other benefit, don't feel obligated to bring it back. If there are flaws with it, fix the flaws and improve upon it if you want to keep it. By the way, you are loved, even if it doesn't feel like it."
@@kexvyq well I'm guessing we all forgot the reason to smile innocently at something or someone and life feels too depressing or stressful right now. Even though you can't feel it on the surface, you know you can't or haven't smiled happily for a while.
@@catherine-qb4od the interest I loved most is now a source of my mental health issues and unhappiness. how can something be the bane of my existence and the object of my desires at the same time? I thought that stuff was only in shows like Bridgerton.
That's why you gotta never grow up. Growing old can't be stopped, but keep doing that silly stuff. I'm 24. I still play my childhood games, I collect plushies, and I enjoy watching Bluey. It's a healing moment when you do things like that for yourself. You'll really understand if you didn't have the best of childhoods.
@@Abby_liko Awwww hey, well are you doing good in life? Doing what you need to do for yourself? People gotta grow up and deal with it. Just being yourself isn't a crime.
@@CatholicBukkakeOfficial I'm doing okay but I often get sick probably because I study more than I take care of myself 😓 But anyways thank you! I feel better and more inspired to be myself 😁
@@Wilfur_fur class clown type beat. I used to VERY HATE class clown because they keep bullying me!! But, theres more reason for them, than from me... (edit: apparently)
This is a perfect representation of how the life can change a person as a whole, the medals on the "past version" of the dude right here really change my feelings, as the interaction that these two characters have, it's really sad to see that the same person that was a calm and happy kid now turned on a depressive adult, and it turns out even worse if we notice that this is a normal thing of life.
This feels stupidly relatable, I used to won some medals as a kid but as I grown older, the competitions are harder, my parents expectations are higher and I just stuck in an endless chase with my past self. These achievements stressed the shit out of me and even til this day I still couldn’t shrug them off completely
Yeah, I had elitist parents that had no clue how to parent. I was their practice kid, and so I got extreme punishments that were not meant for a kid. My sisters got a way better childhood than I did. Which causes conflicting emotions, because I love my sisters, but hate my life
I've been going through severe depression and anxiety through years and have had suicidal tendencies pretty much the entire teenage years. I'm already tired of living and I'm just in my 20's.
A child's smile is really something huh I can't believe I won't smile like that anymore. Innocence is a treasure in a cursed world. Luckily we still have some innocence in some of us. That makes me feel better. It's not like those times where I was lonely. We might be sad but is... At least "we". Not only "I" anymore. And I'm talking about everybody that was lonely, not me specifically. I hope we feel better. Once a psychologist told us the function of emotions. Anger was for limits, happiness for energy, socializing, motivation and more. Fear to protect us. Disgust for mainly smells that could be toxic for us and that helped us to don't get intoxicated. And sadness was the most beautiful one?? It was for EMPATHY. To keep groups united because when there as a loss other person could get close and comfort them. All the village the same. All of us. It was meant to make us stronger and keep us alive. The day we wanted to be always happy we lost what feeling just sad it meant. It's weird but I sometimes get happy when I'm only sad. It's only because I'm always having lots of emotions together within sad, or I'm sad but I show it with anger because somehow people sees better somebody angry than somebody crying (strong/weak), but later people hate aggressive people and prefer somebody who cried. But when somebody is sad they say they're sensitive. Idk. But the day I saw I was not the only one who had problems with this I somehow felt better. Maybe because I could hug somebody who was feeling something like me, but I wish it wasn't that bad. I don't want people to feel what I feel or have what I have. But you can't help it somehow you feel so out of tune... But then it's like let's make teamwork! And fight to get better. Feel better. And be less lonely.
A “loss of innocence” isn’t always a bad thing. I’d rather my smile be filled with knowledge of the bad things in this world and the pain of someone who has actually lived than obliviousness. Sometimes ignorance isn’t bliss. Your smile was beautiful then and it is now, just in different ways
@user-oy4py8sf4l it feels horrible knowing I don't know how to disrupt this process. Well I have 1 idea but it's a herculean ahh task that's illegal under multiple federal laws and even ethically wrong kinda but
Me too. I’m scared, because I’m the smart kid right now (not to be braggy or anything, I’m just commiserating), and it’s terrifying to know that in comparison to my peers, this will probably be the best I’ll ever be. I won’t be amazing for ever, and that scares me so fucking bad. I’m the top of my AP classes, I do sports and play instruments, I ace every test. My standards of myself will never lower, and my mental health will be so damaged once I get out of school, because I’ll always think that I have to be the smart kid. I’ll always have to be the best, but I know I won’t always be able to. (This has become a rant, but I’m too far into it to quit now, I’m almost crying.) It’s the scariest feeling in the world to know that you’re doing so good now, and that you are destined to do worse, that you will inevitably go downhill, that you won’t be able to be the best for much longer. Everyone always tells me I’m doing so well, that I’m perfect, that I’m the smart kid. Once I start to struggle (which I know I will), I won’t be told that anymore, and knowing myself, I won’t react well to that. My self esteem will plummet. I’ll stop trying. I won’t care about my extracurriculars. I’m so scared about my future and there’s nothing I can do to change any of it. I’m sorry, I’m ranting. I haven’t talked to anybody about this, like, ever. I wish I could believe the things that I tell myself to make me feel better, but I’d too self aware to trick myself into being happy or excited about my future. I am actually too smart for my own good. I have such big dreams, but in moments like these, they all feel like a facade that I’m already working to put up, and they don’t even matter yet. I know that once I become an adult, I will hide behind my psychological walls and achievements and pretend to be perfect like I am now, but I’ll be so sad. I’m too young to have thoughts like this. I’m 12 years old and already feel like my life is ending, while it hasn’t even begun. (I know I shouldn’t share my age on the internet, but I figure anyone who would bother to read this long wouldn’t have any desire to steal my identity 👹.) I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to make it in life with this mindset, always knowing that at some point I will fail and never recover, but I’m not sure what I can ever do ti get out of it. My sister is slightly above average, my brother has been struggling in school. I’ve always been, frankly, amazing. I sound like such a pick-me right now, but I wish I were stupid so bad. I wish that the only direction for me to go was up. I wish I couldn’t understand the gravity all of my actions and decisions have on my future. I wish these thoughts couldn’t form in my head. I wish I didn’t do this to myself, I’m so young and free and ‘happy’, but I feel like an adult stuck in the past. I feel like I’m reliving a time when I was happier and more accomplished and had more friends and did more fun things and when life was exciting, but now life is boring, I have a job that I hate, I can’t find someone to love, my mind still haunts me, but now it’s not visions of the future, it’s all the times I was scared of it in the past. I’m scared of the future now, and later I’ll regret that I didn’t live in the moment more now. I feel my older self feeling disappointed in me right now. I’m so scared. Well apparently I needed a rant, because this is super long, so I’ll just go on I guess. I feel like nobody likes me for me, but because I’m the smart kid and I’ll give you answers on the test and let you copy my homework. I feel so much prejudice walking down the hallway because there’s such a blatant divide between my program and the regular program. I’m in the Montessori program at my school, and I’m in the advanced classes within that program, so I’m basically among the best of the best. The kids in the regular program jeer at us when we walk down the hallway. They throw insults and make remarks about how we must be the favorites. Even within Montessori, the different classes are divided. My friends in lower classes than me say prejudiced things without even realizing it. “You’re smart, answer this.” “You’re in the advanced classes, can you help me?” “I wish I was smart like you, the teachers treat you all better.” “Well you’re lucky, you get to be in the smart class.” I hate writing this so much, because it sounds like I’m complaining about my gifts, but I’m really just complaining about the mental side affects of it. I hate this. I hate me. Oh my god, writing this makes me feel like such a bitch. I’m just writing down the thoughts as they come to my head, and this was definitely a notes app kind of rant, but I think I’m done now. I guess I’ll just post it, because hell if this is isn’t already on the internet somewhere.
@@tired_manatee….wow I feel u…like a lot. I’m a bit older than you, but I understand.

It’s called ‘everythingoes’ by rm. read the lyrics if u ever see this comment…idk it’s just calming. I don’t normally, like, give life advice to ppl on the internet or smthing, but…I just get u that’s all.
@@tired_manateehave you friends? I mean... I've never had real friends during my childhood. When I met some, last year, I realised how important they are. I think it's really important to meet some of any age, during non-competitive hobbies, for example. They make you feel your worth doesn't depend on being the best, but being there.
I remember when I was a kid, my smile was awkward so my family members would tell my to smile “properly” in photos. So from then on I’ve only ever smiled with my mouth closed.
I only ever really smiled when a girl in my class I knew for 7 years asked me to smile for the last time I think it was 2 days before the summer vacation I never heard of her again she was allways happier than me. I wonder how she's doing
Also try and find 1 thing you like about yourself, and tell compliment yourself in the mirror. Yes it may feel weird but over time it helps and overtime you'll find more and more thing you like c:
I am crying so badly, even if I am 13 I look super old and have been insecure since I was 7 because of my abusive dad. He soon left, and I had to fake smile, people made fun of my voice, and me in general. I had to grow up so much faster, and nothing in the world felt fair. And now I have to cope with my childhood, things like this make us all stronger, smile more yall, we need it.
@@Art_is_Fire. i had to go through similer treatment after my mom and dad broke up my mom got a boyfriend and i had to endure abuse for 3 years then he left my mom but then after that happened i have been putting a fake smile for a while now
This reminds how much I changed, and I don't think I did in the good way. In my childhood I was quite energic, could easily go to people and really imaginaive, trying to express my creativity in many ways possible. Now I barely talk to anyone, I stay at home pratically everyday outside from going to highschool, and that imagination never gets out of my head, I don't know how to express it in a way I could enjoy it. Feels like I'm like the total opposite of what I once were, makes me wondering if I did something wrong in my life and if it's the case, where did I go wrong ?
Have a life, atleast.... do something outside, maybe just some excercise, or go to grocery store with your parent or just go alone, maybe delete games, social media on the phone, stop watching about social problem, because you are the problem yourself, don't or stop watching p0rn, because it's only make you depressed....get yourself a job and stop sitting at home, because you can't get that old person again and you can't change nothing if you keep stay at home...Because you can't never not back to be a kid then be a man. It's not that bad when you don't even have a friend. You are broke and have no money to do anything so be it, stand up, ask your parent how to apply for a job then get out...go to work...soon you will be...atleast survive in this cruel world. If you can live with it then good thing will come, if not...fk your bad thing then keep moving, do not stop and look back. Finally, stop thinks everything in a pesimestic way ok, man or woman life always hard and sucks, because everyone has their matters, sorry for the bad english....goodluck 👊
@@BNVodkaFPS I started doing archery like I used to, I'm doing studies and all but I feel like I'm not doing enough or that I'm doing something wrong. What I mean is that I'm trying to make my life more interesting and enjoyable for myself but I'm struggling to do so.
I understand what you're going through because a similar thing has happened with me too. I used to be so funny a few year back but now I don't even feel like cracking jokes anymore. I wanna change that but I'm not able to.
@@Kishan18 Same, as a kid I remember during family parties, I used to dance and sing in a quite goofy way. But now I don't even dare to dance or sing because I'm afraid of embarassing myself. I've got bullied at middle school and when I remember the times where I was being the party clown, I felt like people were actually laughing at me instead of laughing with me.
This really got me. My mom passed away from cancer a month ago today. I’ve never been a very happy person but she was one person in my life who always made me smile. I miss her so much but I know she’d be proud to see me smiling again.
I also wish i had a normal life maybe two broken people make a life complete.Just remember me i am on your side even tho i don't know u i will cheer u up and also ur mom will indeed be proud of u❤❤
I feel you. My dad passed away a month ago too from cancer. Despite all the pain he would be cheerful with me whenever he could. May they rest in peace.
You know, I used to be a person who did not smile anymore or faked my smile. But now, I will smile and laugh if the situation makes me smile and laugh. I don't want to hurt myself more by faking smiling and laughing. Myself is precious. I should not hurt myself. When myself is tired or I am tired. I won't push myself like crazy just to finish something or satisfied the people.
Exactly, even if you are the smartest, brightest kid in the whole world, problems and difficulties can still increase and block your path to a great life.
As a “gifted” kid, dude, those medals hit hard. I wanna try to make a difference and become an author, but I’m gonna have to be prepared if I don’t succeed.
As a college student who often worries he peaked in high school, I think it's important to remember that things take time. You can do this. You can still rise again. Stay regal.
Im crying because I used to be that bright overachiever happy child. Then slowly as I got older, no matter how much work end effort I put into school and my sport, I just started an irreversible decline. And it sucks because now I'm burnt out and sad but still want what I had at ten years old and don't know how to get bakc up there.
Jesus. We come into this world sinless and as we age and become conscious of what we're doing and how shitty everything is around us and it sends us into a depressive spiral seeing how flawed everything is. But its alright, you can still have peace in your heart far more potent than it was when you were a child if you were to try to live your life for god.
you know, I am a bright overachieving person who does really well in school. but I'm so scared of what'll happen as I get older. there's a chance my life will turn out good. but I have no idea
“Those who are kindest have felt the most pain, those who are strong have once been weak, those who are brave have once been scared, and those who smile have been the most heartbroken”
It got to me too. Spent my whole life hiding everything about myself even at home. There were times it felt like I was falling apart. Still don't know if it was worth it putting up a smile up for everyone I met. Being smart/wise of everything around you just makes you realise more how screwed up things are. If everything seems bad just see what you need to set yourself up, for a living somewhere else
everything about this makes me cry. the expectations and burn out aside, i feel as if clair de lune does capture this feeling very well. there's crossing on page three (and towards the end?) from when you skip from bass cleff to treble cleff, and i feel like it really represents the high points before we fall. theres also a repeating chord, 'Ab F' and that single bittersweet sound i feel like represents longing and such. clair de lune was also the first piece i learned back when i actually wanted to do piano. once, i played till i almost bled so. plus, the distant chimes of it is kinda like what once was. It was a piece I never finished. so it genuinely holds a lot of memory for me, all the crying and it eventually went for naught. I ended up quitting music in general so, it still makes me cry. to anyone reading this comment, im proud of you and how far you've come.
Some people could relate to this as when they grew up, everything tended to be less colorful. When they were a child, they thought the world was a colorful, bright and hopeful place. Sadly, time passes by. It's sad to see someone go. Even if it's just your past self.
We should just do it and ignore everyone who objects. Get together, everyone who needs it, do our best to let go of our troubles, help eachother, splinter off from the rest of the world and do everything in the name of our lives instead of an old hateful politicians' rules, help eachother achieve better lives and happiness, acceptance. I believe we can truly do this if we try
@@UhmAhctually I agree but some people don’t have people who would agree. And it would be sad to ask help from a parent with that request because they want only good things for you(most parents). So some people don’t get to do that.
This one really hit home. When I was younger, I was one of the top students in my school and got many academic rewards, even one from the government, but now I'm just an everyday college student not even a top college student.
One of the reasons I fear the future. In elementary, I had the best grades, the best attitude, etc. and I felt like someone because of it. Now all I can think about is that I'm no longer the "smartest", I've done some shitty things, and no one seems to notice my academic performance despite me putting everything into it - so I don't feel like I'm anything.
In elementary I was like one of the smartest kids I got all As and Bs and then once I got to high school I started getting worse and worse grades and now I almost failed a class last semester and I’m failing one and almost failing another this semester and now I probably won’t even get to go to university and I don’t know what to do
@@_physically_insane_ it’s ok just try your best to bring it up to As and take Ap classes try to fix it so you get valedictorian because you’ll need a scholarship
Growing up I've always hated my smile so I decided not to smile for the rest of my life until I found this audio now I listen to it everyday and makes me so much better thank youuuu
I bloody love how wholesome those audio sounds! just the “awwww, look how cute you are when you’re smiling!” and “smile more, silly!” line hit hard, and for the wrong reasons, as someone who doesn’t smile much day to day, lines like those make you think about how being a child was, for most people, it was nice, they got the experience to smile, with others, not so much, but it really pulls the feeling that smiling makes everything feel better, even if it’s fake.
My mom saw me watching this and asked if I made it cause the art style was cute. I couldn't tell her that it was actually depressing 😭 (It also reminds me of how I used to be when I was little and how I am now)
@@y-arashi3770 I'm a teenager, i go to school and have a job I work from the time i leave school until the time i sleep, and I also wake up at 2-3am everyday to work and to go to the gym. Don't chat to me about "too much to carry" because I carry more than you and I'm doing well.
I don't know what it is - if it's the innocence or if it is simply the childishness of it all. But I think that's what helps us see the good parts of ourselves. We may not like how we perceive ourselves, but other people love you and love to see you at your best! Let's strive for this! ❤
i remember being energetic and talkative to literally anyone i interact to, now i'm just a dusk of my former self, with "life goals" in the way, i'm just too busy to bother with anyone, let alone to smile genuinely. i mean, everyone smiles sometimes, it's just that most of those smiles were either a approach of necessity to keep others around you comfortable, not out of your own happiness.
The sad fact that his dead brother was saying that… He was truly just talking to himself and imagining his brother was saying it because he can’t cope the fact that his brother is gone, so all he does is try to stay happy…
I never knew how to smile for photos until last year. I was always awkward when I was smiling. My relatives tell me i was so photogenic when I was younger, but as I grew old, I simply took less and less selfies, until I stoped taking them. I would only smile in group photos for memories. I literally searched up how to take a selfie, and it felt really awkward taking one. It was only until last year that I decided to actually practice smiling for selfies, and my smiles in general. Now, taking selfies come naturally to me, and I now have a smile I put on my face everyday.
Im in the same boat, but still cant bring myself to think its worth it to look up how to take em....feels like its not worth it all the time. But when I do need to smile for one, I beat myself up about it.
"The child he once were never left. Still in there, burried under his responsibilities, and the stresses of adulthood. Don't let your inner child get crushed under the weight of adulthood. Do not forget them. They are who you once were."
Now i understand what they meant by. "Enjoy your life while your still a kid, you'll regret growing once you grow older" Now i need a second im going to cry Edit: another meaning. You don't have to pay anything. You can just eat food. Ask your parents what you want. Also playing games all the time. When yiur grow older. Its limited now.
Honestly I needed to hear this, life has been hard for all of us some of us almost committing suiside, family problems, mental health all of that we have all been through it so just know that we are here for you and that and you are not alone ❤

Hey, you didnt do anything wrong alright? I go through same shit, but I am feeling much better now, and just so you know, you matter, no matter what anyone says or what you think ❤
I feel sad, for him, it’s like we try to stay positive in a hard world with a rough life, it kinda reminded me of someone. I feel bad this persons deserves a hug and some ice cream
I’m gonna cry….I really need to start actually smiling and not faking it anymore….but I still think that even if I put all my effort into a smile, it still won’t look good on me.
I have multiple interpretations behind this as a story Either: The kid in the mirror is the guy as a kid, who used to be successful and happy but he’s now for depressed and his life is miserable and he’s looking at his past life The kid in the mirror was his childhood friend who died later on but the guy still lived and he’s remembering a moment where his friend (the kid) told him that (the audio) or he’s hallucinating his dead childhood friend as if he is saying that to him now to make him feel better
For the people this short hits close to home to, you do not need medals to prove your self worth. Being academically at the top of the world may seem like a temporary source of happiness, and it's not a bad thing to aim for the top, but constantly achieving #1 will lead to you expecting and pressuring yourself to be the best. Eventually, you'll realize there will always be people better than you. I once say the world in black and white, the smart and the less intelligent. I wanted to be the best, I needed to be the best. But open your eyes to reality, medals arent worth anything. It's just a piece of metal attached to a ribbon. You are the one that determines if you are worth it. And you are. No matter the grades and fame, you'll still be the best in my heart. Farewell, fellow stranger. Please take care of yourself. If you need to reach out, I'd be more than happy to leave my discord tag in the replies. Remember, I am proud of you.
no nga your grades need to be up to get a higher chance for a better future. You don’t need happiness. It’s called sacrifice luh bro. You’d rather sit around in happiness and allat shit and then get a trash job, wasting decades of your life or sacrifice the first 15-20 years of your life and live the rest successfuly?
Trust me there's no point in being sad or depressed, u just got one life dude just one, this is our first and last chance, enjoy every moment, spend time with ur parents be happy, do what u love, trust me being sad isn't worth it.....
This made me cry… I’m a teenager and I’m realizing I need to smile even when I’m embarrassed or upset because my family gives me everything and it hurts really bad when they see me unhappy
A smile is a valuable tool, my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing... and ensures that no matter what comes your way - You're the one in control.
this reminds me of myself from the past and on the present tbh, i miss those days where I don't care about anything and just want to play with friends and be happy, and now I'm just stressed and feel nothing inside me.. this also made me tear up a bit, thanks for this amazing video💖

You need to re-define some things about your outlook you didn’t “peak” in high school that’s just the last time you felt satisfied and secure in yourself. That does not mean you will never feel like that again.
Achievements and academic success are satisfying and make you feel secure in your identity but the most important thing in your life is your joy and your happiness. I believe you will learn how to find that joy within yourself and nurture it, and let it bloom. Once you are able to become a joyful person you will realize it does not matter what your worldly achievements are or your intellectual accomplishments. All that matters is the love you spread, and we all have incredibly high potential to becomes amazing people who can spread a lot of love, it’s never too late

It's worse than that: gifted kids are practically expected to fail once they realize they have to put in effort they didn't have to and never learned how to before, and might slowly devolve into an anxious ball of imposter syndrome.

I feel this. I seperated myself from who I was as a child so violently that sometimes thinking about who I am and who I was feels like thinking about a different person. I think the hardest part is now I have to pick up every part of me that I broke and find a way to be okay with myself again; it feels like im constantly having to remind myself that my past is me and that I am me
Es algo doloroso tener que recordar tu pasado para recordarte a ti,pero es algo con lo que tienes que lidiar.
I think a better way to think of it is to think of it as a part of your growth. I stayed for way to long thinking about how much I changed from the past. How I didn't laugh and smile at every stupid thing but it felt like too much at some point. Then at one point I realized that we kind of mature overtime. Although Im not sure if you completly relate with me I think its healthier to get rid of the past and to forget about it. Think of it as the past. Think of it as part of your growth, that you matured and grown older and that you changed. Dont think of that change as bad though. Change can be good. And I think that although not many may mention it I think that someone out there will like a part of you despite the fact that its not the same as in the past. Don't pretend to be someone you aren’t though because that isn't accepting change, that is forcing change upon yourself.
When I say dont be someone you aren’t I mean by don't force yourself to change because you want to be someone else or to be seen as better by others. Be you. Dont let others or yourself change you. Well of course yourself and others can change you but don't let comments about your smile affect you. Its something you cant control. You shouldn't try to change something that part of you, it shouldn't be changed like that.
Maby I wrote too much but I really dont want any misintepreting to come from my comment. I dont want any sort of bad affect to come onto anyone who reads this. So thats why I kinda wrote alot. Yeah. Dont listen yo my rambling if it seems like bad advice just though it would be better than no advice. Hope it helps to some degree though. 👍

This resonates with me deeply. It's a reminder of the struggles we all face.
This feels stupidly relatable, I used to won some medals as a kid but as I grown older, the competitions are harder, my parents expectations are higher and I just stuck in an endless chase with my past self. These achievements stressed the shit out of me and even til this day I still couldn’t shrug them off completely
Endless chase with my past self is so me.
I was meant to be beautiful.
Yeah, I had elitist parents that had no clue how to parent. I was their practice kid, and so I got extreme punishments that were not meant for a kid. My sisters got a way better childhood than I did. Which causes conflicting emotions, because I love my sisters, but hate my life
I've been going through severe depression and anxiety through years and have had suicidal tendencies pretty much the entire teenage years. I'm already tired of living and I'm just in my 20's.
@@Lilith-bw9pq I'm so sorry. Feel ur pain
@@HCisME 🥺💖
A child's smile is really something huh
I can't believe I won't smile like that anymore. Innocence is a treasure in a cursed world.
Luckily we still have some innocence in some of us. That makes me feel better. It's not like those times where I was lonely. We might be sad but is... At least "we". Not only "I" anymore. And I'm talking about everybody that was lonely, not me specifically. I hope we feel better.
Once a psychologist told us the function of emotions. Anger was for limits, happiness for energy, socializing, motivation and more. Fear to protect us. Disgust for mainly smells that could be toxic for us and that helped us to don't get intoxicated.
And sadness was the most beautiful one?? It was for EMPATHY. To keep groups united because when there as a loss other person could get close and comfort them. All the village the same. All of us. It was meant to make us stronger and keep us alive. The day we wanted to be always happy we lost what feeling just sad it meant.
It's weird but I sometimes get happy when I'm only sad. It's only because I'm always having lots of emotions together within sad, or I'm sad but I show it with anger because somehow people sees better somebody angry than somebody crying (strong/weak), but later people hate aggressive people and prefer somebody who cried.
But when somebody is sad they say they're sensitive. Idk. But the day I saw I was not the only one who had problems with this I somehow felt better. Maybe because I could hug somebody who was feeling something like me, but I wish it wasn't that bad. I don't want people to feel what I feel or have what I have. But you can't help it somehow you feel so out of tune...
But then it's like let's make teamwork! And fight to get better. Feel better. And be less lonely.
You said A LOT of stuff.
I miss the old me…
Thanks for the comment
i cried while reading this
A “loss of innocence” isn’t always a bad thing. I’d rather my smile be filled with knowledge of the bad things in this world and the pain of someone who has actually lived than obliviousness. Sometimes ignorance isn’t bliss. Your smile was beautiful then and it is now, just in different ways
I don’t like the realization that I’m slowly becoming like this guy 💀

As the ‘smart child’ this hit hard, because I used to be top at everything on school… and now I feel like just another ordinary student

Hug me ❤😮😂😮❤😅🎉😅😂😅😢😮😂😅🎉😮😢😮😂😅🎉😮😢😅❤😅🎉😮😂😮🎉😅😂😅😢😅❤😅😢😮😢😅😂😅🎉😮❤😅🎉😮🎉😊😅❤
Me too. I’m scared, because I’m the smart kid right now (not to be braggy or anything, I’m just commiserating), and it’s terrifying to know that in comparison to my peers, this will probably be the best I’ll ever be. I won’t be amazing for ever, and that scares me so fucking bad. I’m the top of my AP classes, I do sports and play instruments, I ace every test. My standards of myself will never lower, and my mental health will be so damaged once I get out of school, because I’ll always think that I have to be the smart kid. I’ll always have to be the best, but I know I won’t always be able to. (This has become a rant, but I’m too far into it to quit now, I’m almost crying.) It’s the scariest feeling in the world to know that you’re doing so good now, and that you are destined to do worse, that you will inevitably go downhill, that you won’t be able to be the best for much longer. Everyone always tells me I’m doing so well, that I’m perfect, that I’m the smart kid. Once I start to struggle (which I know I will), I won’t be told that anymore, and knowing myself, I won’t react well to that. My self esteem will plummet. I’ll stop trying. I won’t care about my extracurriculars. I’m so scared about my future and there’s nothing I can do to change any of it. I’m sorry, I’m ranting. I haven’t talked to anybody about this, like, ever. I wish I could believe the things that I tell myself to make me feel better, but I’d too self aware to trick myself into being happy or excited about my future. I am actually too smart for my own good. I have such big dreams, but in moments like these, they all feel like a facade that I’m already working to put up, and they don’t even matter yet. I know that once I become an adult, I will hide behind my psychological walls and achievements and pretend to be perfect like I am now, but I’ll be so sad. I’m too young to have thoughts like this. I’m 12 years old and already feel like my life is ending, while it hasn’t even begun. (I know I shouldn’t share my age on the internet, but I figure anyone who would bother to read this long wouldn’t have any desire to steal my identity 👹.) I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to make it in life with this mindset, always knowing that at some point I will fail and never recover, but I’m not sure what I can ever do ti get out of it. My sister is slightly above average, my brother has been struggling in school. I’ve always been, frankly, amazing. I sound like such a pick-me right now, but I wish I were stupid so bad. I wish that the only direction for me to go was up. I wish I couldn’t understand the gravity all of my actions and decisions have on my future. I wish these thoughts couldn’t form in my head. I wish I didn’t do this to myself, I’m so young and free and ‘happy’, but I feel like an adult stuck in the past. I feel like I’m reliving a time when I was happier and more accomplished and had more friends and did more fun things and when life was exciting, but now life is boring, I have a job that I hate, I can’t find someone to love, my mind still haunts me, but now it’s not visions of the future, it’s all the times I was scared of it in the past. I’m scared of the future now, and later I’ll regret that I didn’t live in the moment more now. I feel my older self feeling disappointed in me right now. I’m so scared. Well apparently I needed a rant, because this is super long, so I’ll just go on I guess. I feel like nobody likes me for me, but because I’m the smart kid and I’ll give you answers on the test and let you copy my homework. I feel so much prejudice walking down the hallway because there’s such a blatant divide between my program and the regular program. I’m in the Montessori program at my school, and I’m in the advanced classes within that program, so I’m basically among the best of the best. The kids in the regular program jeer at us when we walk down the hallway. They throw insults and make remarks about how we must be the favorites. Even within Montessori, the different classes are divided. My friends in lower classes than me say prejudiced things without even realizing it. “You’re smart, answer this.” “You’re in the advanced classes, can you help me?” “I wish I was smart like you, the teachers treat you all better.” “Well you’re lucky, you get to be in the smart class.” I hate writing this so much, because it sounds like I’m complaining about my gifts, but I’m really just complaining about the mental side affects of it. I hate this. I hate me. Oh my god, writing this makes me feel like such a bitch. I’m just writing down the thoughts as they come to my head, and this was definitely a notes app kind of rant, but I think I’m done now. I guess I’ll just post it, because hell if this is isn’t already on the internet somewhere.

Feels like I'm like the total opposite of what I once were, makes me wondering if I did something wrong in my life and if it's the case, where did I go wrong ?
Maybe get off your phone and experience real life
Have a life, atleast.... do something outside, maybe just some excercise, or go to grocery store with your parent or just go alone, maybe delete games, social media on the phone, stop watching about social problem, because you are the problem yourself, don't or stop watching p0rn, because it's only make you depressed....get yourself a job and stop sitting at home, because you can't get that old person again and you can't change nothing if you keep stay at home...Because you can't never not back to be a kid then be a man. It's not that bad when you don't even have a friend. You are broke and have no money to do anything so be it, stand up, ask your parent how to apply for a job then get out...go to work...soon you will be...atleast survive in this cruel world.

Exactly, even if you are the smartest, brightest kid in the whole world, problems and difficulties can still increase and block your path to a great life.
As a “gifted” kid, dude, those medals hit hard. I wanna try to make a difference and become an author, but I’m gonna have to be prepared if I don’t succeed.
If you can imagine living without writing, a life without being a writer, then being one will be difficult and achievement hard to come by.

As a college student who often worries he peaked in high school, I think it's important to remember that things take time. You can do this. You can still rise again.
Stay regal.
Im crying because I used to be that bright overachiever happy child. Then slowly as I got older, no matter how much work end effort I put into school and my sport, I just started an irreversible decline. And it sucks because now I'm burnt out and sad but still want what I had at ten years old and don't know how to get bakc up there.
Just chill out and give yourself a break. Do stuff lightly and ull slowly get motivation 😊
Sometimes wanting to live peacefully is more than enough for people.
Jesus. We come into this world sinless and as we age and become conscious of what we're doing and how shitty everything is around us and it sends us into a depressive spiral seeing how flawed everything is. But its alright, you can still have peace in your heart far more potent than it was when you were a child if you were to try to live your life for god.
you know, I am a bright overachieving person who does really well in school. but I'm so scared of what'll happen as I get older. there's a chance my life will turn out good. but I have no idea

This honestly made me cry because this is how I always feel
It got to me too.
Spent my whole life hiding everything about myself even at home. There were times it felt like I was falling apart.
Still don't know if it was worth it putting up a smile up for everyone I met. Being smart/wise of everything around you just makes you realise more how screwed up things are. If everything seems bad just see what you need to set yourself up, for a living somewhere else
The time when we were kids were the happiest moments to remember with people who were once there
everything about this makes me cry. the expectations and burn out aside, i feel as if clair de lune does capture this feeling very well. there's crossing on page three (and towards the end?) from when you skip from bass cleff to treble cleff, and i feel like it really represents the high points before we fall. theres also a repeating chord, 'Ab F' and that single bittersweet sound i feel like represents longing and such. clair de lune was also the first piece i learned back when i actually wanted to do piano. once, i played till i almost bled so. plus, the distant chimes of it is kinda like what once was.
It was a piece I never finished. so it genuinely holds a lot of memory for me, all the crying and it eventually went for naught. I ended up quitting music in general so, it still makes me cry.

Some people could relate to this as when they grew up, everything tended to be less colorful. When they were a child, they thought the world was a colorful, bright and hopeful place. Sadly, time passes by. It's sad to see someone go. Even if it's just your past self.

I wish we could have a day where we just share each other’s thoughts and hug and let our feelings out. 😔
Yeah
That day should be a day focussed on that, and all the other days should have it as a regular practice. The world needs to be more like this.
We should just do it and ignore everyone who objects. Get together, everyone who needs it, do our best to let go of our troubles, help eachother, splinter off from the rest of the world and do everything in the name of our lives instead of an old hateful politicians' rules, help eachother achieve better lives and happiness, acceptance. I believe we can truly do this if we try
@@UhmAhctually I agree but some people don’t have people who would agree. And it would be sad to ask help from a parent with that request because they want only good things for you(most parents). So some people don’t get to do that.
@JxJAscended most of us would be. The feeling to kill is consistent in teenagers. But most don’t fall for that or it’s just delusions.
This one really hit home. When I was younger, I was one of the top students in my school and got many academic rewards, even one from the government, but now I'm just an everyday college student not even a top college student.
One of the reasons I fear the future. In elementary, I had the best grades, the best attitude, etc. and I felt like someone because of it. Now all I can think about is that I'm no longer the "smartest", I've done some shitty things, and no one seems to notice my academic performance despite me putting everything into it - so I don't feel like I'm anything.
@@kaputt_jay3873 Man I'm in the exact same situation
I once got a president award too when I was younger
In elementary I was like one of the smartest kids I got all As and Bs and then once I got to high school I started getting worse and worse grades and now I almost failed a class last semester and I’m failing one and almost failing another this semester and now I probably won’t even get to go to university and I don’t know what to do

Growing up I've always hated my smile so I decided not to smile for the rest of my life until I found this audio now I listen to it everyday and makes me so much better thank youuuu
Damn.
🤗 🤗 🤗 Your smile is pretty! I'm sure of it!
I bloody love how wholesome those audio sounds! just the “awwww, look how cute you are when you’re smiling!” and “smile more, silly!” line hit hard, and for the wrong reasons, as someone who doesn’t smile much day to day, lines like those make you think about how being a child was, for most people, it was nice, they got the experience to smile, with others, not so much, but it really pulls the feeling that smiling makes everything feel better, even if it’s fake.
My mom saw me watching this and asked if I made it cause the art style was cute. I couldn't tell her that it was actually depressing 😭
(It also reminds me of how I used to be when I was little and how I am now)

@@y-arashi3770 I'm a teenager, i go to school and have a job I work from the time i leave school until the time i sleep, and I also wake up at 2-3am everyday to work and to go to the gym. Don't chat to me about "too much to carry" because I carry more than you and I'm doing well.
I don't know what it is - if it's the innocence or if it is simply the childishness of it all. But I think that's what helps us see the good parts of ourselves. We may not like how we perceive ourselves, but other people love you and love to see you at your best! Let's strive for this! ❤
i remember being energetic and talkative to literally anyone i interact to, now i'm just a dusk of my former self, with "life goals" in the way, i'm just too busy to bother with anyone, let alone to smile genuinely. i mean, everyone smiles sometimes, it's just that most of those smiles were either a approach of necessity to keep others around you comfortable, not out of your own happiness.

The sad fact that his dead brother was saying that… He was truly just talking to himself and imagining his brother was saying it because he can’t cope the fact that his brother is gone, so all he does is try to stay happy…

This… Hit different… Damn.
Im not gonna lie. This may be the smallest thing but actually made a huge impact.
I never knew how to smile for photos until last year. I was always awkward when I was smiling. My relatives tell me i was so photogenic when I was younger, but as I grew old, I simply took less and less selfies, until I stoped taking them. I would only smile in group photos for memories. I literally searched up how to take a selfie, and it felt really awkward taking one. It was only until last year that I decided to actually practice smiling for selfies, and my smiles in general. Now, taking selfies come naturally to me, and I now have a smile I put on my face everyday.
Im in the same boat, but still cant bring myself to think its worth it to look up how to take em....feels like its not worth it all the time. But when I do need to smile for one, I beat myself up about it.
I struggle the same issue

I second this lol it would make for an amazing story.
I just want more idc what it is GIVE IT TO ME
I have multiple interpretations behind this as a story
Either:
The kid in the mirror is the guy as a kid, who used to be successful and happy but he’s now for depressed and his life is miserable and he’s looking at his past life
The kid in the mirror was his childhood friend who died later on but the guy still lived and he’s remembering a moment where his friend (the kid) told him that (the audio) or he’s hallucinating his dead childhood friend as if he is saying that to him now to make him feel better
"Webtoon"? What's that? Anyway, if this means it's on Wattpad I'll sign up for it-
what's the characters name?
U don't know how much this made me cry-

Growing up is when you realise how nice it was to be a child
For the people this short hits close to home to, you do not need medals to prove your self worth. Being academically at the top of the world may seem like a temporary source of happiness, and it's not a bad thing to aim for the top, but constantly achieving #1 will lead to you expecting and pressuring yourself to be the best. Eventually, you'll realize there will always be people better than you. I once say the world in black and white, the smart and the less intelligent. I wanted to be the best, I needed to be the best. But open your eyes to reality, medals arent worth anything. It's just a piece of metal attached to a ribbon. You are the one that determines if you are worth it. And you are. No matter the grades and fame, you'll still be the best in my heart. Farewell, fellow stranger. Please take care of yourself. If you need to reach out, I'd be more than happy to leave my discord tag in the replies. Remember, I am proud of you.
aww tysmm! i really needed that :)
Wonderful words. Thanks for saying this i really apriciate that 👍🏻💝

no nga your grades need to be up to get a higher chance for a better future. You don’t need happiness. It’s called sacrifice luh bro. You’d rather sit around in happiness and allat shit and then get a trash job, wasting decades of your life or sacrifice the first 15-20 years of your life and live the rest successfuly?
