This is because when you talk about your goals, you get a small amount of satisfaction from people telling you they’re good ideas. You shouldn’t get that satisfaction until you complete the goal, so good on you.
I have that because I have a constant fear that people will say I shouldn't bother with my goals. Even when they don't say it, I panic and overanalyse what I want to do to such an extent that I stop believing it's possible.
@@Jake-gw6yg not really though. not undermining john's work but you don't have to be insanely intelligent lol. its how effective you are with your studying and learning.
Kruiger 101 For me though, I come up with too many that I get confused. I find that when I’m exploring campus more, I keep bumping into people that I can reach out to and find resolutions to these questions. Sometimes, observing a situation answers those questions too.
I always loved being alone like in my room but knowing that my mom was in the kitchen downstairs or my brother was playing video games in the living room always made me feel safe. Living alone, there is absolutely no one there and it’s kind of scary.
@@00vulture not having to worry about your parents busting open your door without knocking and leave it open as they leave boom even more reason to live alone
After enough time being alone you start missing human companionship, but at the same time you star fearing it because you will feel like you have lost the ability to communicate and empathise.
8 years alone here just one advice :don't get used to it everyday you fall deeper in a whole you can't get out of then you do everything on your own and you don't need anyone else and you get stronger and at the end, life won't have purpose because life is in doing things and doing them with people and needing and helping each other , and if you are too strong you won't be living .
9 months alone here, 400km away from family and friends, I don't know no one around here, moved out to be stronger by myself. Turns out I'm really fine alone but I have no reason to wake up sometimes... Reading your comment made me realize that I do need my family and friends, even though they may not make you stronger, but instead they make you happy. Thank you so much, you helped me with a problem I was having for a few months.
Living alone has made me realize how much I value the company of people even if they are a room away. Often times I find myself spending my nights alone and those are the hardest. Too many thoughts and no one to express them to. I'm looking forward to having roommates again (also living alone isn't cost-effective and it sucks working so much while also going to school). I do enjoy the little things, but it's hard to appreciate those when I'm dancing alone in front of my bathroom mirror with a cup of wine.
This is the first ever person I've paid for a membership to and I've only been watching 2 days. I've been going through a bad mental state recently and these easy to watch videos yet motivational videos have been so great to me. Thankyou
This video fits so perfect in my current situation. 4 weeks ago I moved from Cologne to Karlsruhe in Germany to study there. And its a massive change to not know any person but its getting better and better. And so will your situation
You truly motivate me to make something out of my life and study and learn more Pretty sure you inspire many people! You can really be proud of yourself! :)
Hi John. Big fan of your content! I've lived alone for about 2 years, and now I'm living with a couple of roommates. I am quite introverted, and do keep to myself for the most part. I tend to gravitate towards solo activities, primarily drawing and reading, though this has made me appreciate any social gathering all the more. I'm not a total recluse, and public speaking doesn't phase me, though it used to. I graduated in Business at university in 2015, and have lived and worked in Mexico and Vietnam since. Nowadays, I live where I spent my childhood, a city you're likely now familiar with ... Montreal! I can relate to your thoughts on loneliness and accountability. I feel broadcasting projects on social media platforms to be a step in the right direction. Cheers, and happy belated Thanksgiving! P.S. If you feel like meeting up sometime, I invite you to reach out, it would be a privilege to hang out with you! Find me on Instagram @thomasrivet7
I felt the exact same way as you for your number 5 reasons and want to learn and major in psychology too! After learning and reflecting so much, I found that I am most passionate about mental health and how so many young kids are misunderstood. Mental health is so important and I love the feeling of helping someone feel understood. It is really fulfilling. I am so glad that someone else feels the same way I do !
Gurke Gurke eish man it’s unsafe being there by yourself. I’m from there, and it’s dangerous no matter where you go. Even the rich neighborhoods have trouble
I'm the same age as you. Your videos inspire me a lot and always make me motivated. Thank you from the bottom of the heart. They are really helpful. Love u
I just started living alone for a few days, all your points are really true, I’m feeling the same like you, got myself so much of freedom that I don’t know what to do during free time😭 gotta think and plan for my life d🧐 Thanks for the great video! Love it❤️
U look so freaking amazing(with ur beard) Such a handsome man not saying that jst bcz of ur appearance Ur mentality too, ur intellectual level ur evth❤ Im a subscriber from MOROCCO❤
I dropped out halfway through high school and am now doing homeschooling and I think this list is a very good way to describe that experience too. Every single point fits perfectly (compared to my experiences, I mean) and yea... that's pretty cool
I agree, travel takes the most time out of your day. I recently finished my BSc computer science honours degree this year, and now Ive been working in London for the past four months and it safe to say that It takes me 1h 30min to travel one way
Dear John, thanks for this video. I'm studying abroad one year, so I'm kind in a "Gap year" too. How would you recommend to focus on what I like and discover what I would like my professional life to be like in the next five years? I also think that this situation is great to rediscover oneself but I'm a bit clueless about how I should do it.
John, you are so inspiring, this is the 4th video I have watched and I love how down to earth and calm you are. You get good grades at one of the best, if not, the best University in America, while still having a successful UA-cam channel that is close to 1 million subscribers. I haven't watched enough videos, I don't know if you do any extracurricular or sports and you're probably doing well in those as well. I have been believing to go to Harvard since 7th grade, not very long as I am a freshman but I am trying my best. I have a early application to join IB and try to apply to NHS when I'm old enough, I am in Math club and next year, I am trying to become Math club president, I am also hoping to join wrestling in the winter. I am currently in 4 IB Prep classes, one of them being Algebra 3-4. If I had to choose the hardest challenge, it would be trying to take four years of Japanese, I am currently at a C in it and I am struggling. Your motivational videos really hit me and I will keep trying to get the grade up, I would assume some people will respond with negativity and I can get that as I seem like I'm bragging. You are an inspiring, John, you deserve everything you have achieved
Can your next video be on the various gadgets you've used in your coding journey, the ones you currently use, and what you'll recommend to anyone out there going in for a CS course?
John, Thanks for always putting out your best content. You inspire me to be the best person I can and put my all into everything I do. I can’t thank you enough bro. Keep up the good work!
Freedom to explore ideas for no reason but curiosity is something I miss in my life so dang much. It feels like both uni and my own expectations of myself have taken it away from me and I don't know how to have it back.
Great video John. I live alone in a cabin and although it can be lonely at times I've been getting stuff done. Also learning guitar. Didn't know I was good at it but also I enjoy playing it
Hey man thanks for your channel and thanks for UA-cam algorithm that it suggested your page. Even am a student like you in Europe. Your video motivates me as we both are in same position. God bless you. All the best
I really enjoyed this video. I’m in my fourth (and final) year of undergrad in NYC now and related most strongly to 1 and 3. I was in Manhattan for the summer and most of my friends from campus went away doing programs/vacations, etc. so I felt the struggle of getting together with friends and pacing life in going between different parts of the city. You’ve done a remarkable amount of maturation in these two months you’ve been on your own. Kudos. You’re rocking it. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much for the vid! All your vids are genuinely beneficial and really helpful, everytime I watch one of your videos I always learn something new, so thanks for that!!
I'm an introvert, so I don't mind spending years alone. I actually prefer it. That being said, you should still read out loud and practice, also if you can interact with other people than great. Also, hopefully you're not just hiding yourself in a hole, but instead are hopefully creating something and maybe that can help you build a skill which will make you money and eventually you can have moneyt o go out and meet people if that's what you'd like. First you need to work and then build a skill (which requires extensive alone time) and then you build success and money and then you can be more outgoing and relaxed, once you've taken care of paying the bills and finances.+
Would you be allowed to elaborate on the projects you are working on? Or make a video on that? On integration between machine learning and psychology/cognitive science?
That's weird bc when I used to tell a friend about something I wanted as a habit I wouldn't end up sticking with it but when I stopped telling everyone my goals of making good habits I was able to make those habits.
Living in Montreal for 7 years - Living downtown is particularly tough for friendships and transport, I definitely would have suggested living in the Plateau to maximize livability
I'm currently listening to "What Every Body Is Saying" by Joe Navarro (former FBI agent) on Audible, highly recommend! And oh, I'm very interested in psychology as well, more specifically forensic psychology! P.S. I've been living in Montreal for almost a year now and can relate to most, if not all, of your points.
I personally feel like I’m better at reaching my goals when I keep them to myself. Anyone else feel this way?
Yeah, i dont like talking about plans, i prefer talk about achieved goals.
This is because when you talk about your goals, you get a small amount of satisfaction from people telling you they’re good ideas. You shouldn’t get that satisfaction until you complete the goal, so good on you.
I’m thinking keeping my goals myself will be then depend on someone to do it for you 😔 and yea completing your goal feels an awesome satisfaction
I have that because I have a constant fear that people will say I shouldn't bother with my goals. Even when they don't say it, I panic and overanalyse what I want to do to such an extent that I stop believing it's possible.
Psychedelic Cub YES!!!!!! I feel the exact same way.
I've been on my own for 6 years now. Yes it gets lonely sometimes, but theres no freedom like having a home with total privacy. I love it.
