Laugh all what you want about this kind of joke, but for me it is not a joke at all. I could never understand people, but these kinds of videos help a lot to do it.
I just did it so.... I'm not even sure what the hell just happened... This two month relationship I just had was a perfect energetic match for one that almost destroyed me. (Life started with Mom being very scary, then beating me fora year, then I realized she wanted to kill me on a meth turned never one morning and I never went back. So anyway, long story short, I love monsters and my life has been like a movie...) AND! And I'm learning from an extended family who also exhibit very similar energetic patterns to the remainder of my immediate family. I feel I'm being given exactly what I need to close out my "first life" in a really beautiful way. I'm not doing the greatest at staying awake. I'm constantly bombarded by crazy lol. I will use this time as an opportunity and stop being a whiner. Great comment, great channel. Exactly what the Spirit doctor ordered ...

@@an0therdimensi0n99 I feel you with the "go along to get along." With my family, I am always trying to avoid conflict until the time I can get away. I graduate from university this semester, so hopefully I will get my own place where I can be emotionally amd psychologically safe. I am 23 years old and haven't trusted anyone nor felt comfortable enough to be myself for 23 years. I am still optimistic that I will get to live a life worth living.
@@captaincrp3911 if i could give a guy like you one solid piece of advice, it would be, you are going to have Awakenings throughout the course of your life. some will for sure be life altering. you will not think the same like at all - 20 years from now. "settling down" and getting serious with a broad now will mean, you two are on the same wavelength ATM. you start a family at 26, have several awakenings, but the wife does not nor should she. it happens on our own individual clocks. but now, you have a house to pay for, junior is pulling your arm begging for you to teach him how to ride a bike, your 9 year daughter is spending way too much time playing Roblox because it keeps her outta moms hair, you stare at her on the couch thinking to yourself "her childhood is wasting away". it is a deep sadness that can only go away by dad grabbing her hand and taking her outside to play. this is all after your very physically demanding 9 to 5. you have two hours a day to spend with the reasons you get up every day. and it takes an hour for them to get ready to go out and play. wife hasnt had the same awakenings as you about how fast their childhood is slipping away, wife is not cherishing every moment with them. nor is she willing to hear your pov and make a change. guess what your job is? suck it up butter cup, your shoes just got bigger because now you have to fill in for mom. a divorce is driving an oil tanker right into an already raging inferno (in terms of damage to children). we would know 😉 The One, does not exist.
@@an0therdimensi0n99are you sure that you aren’t viewing these conversations this way because you’d rather avoid them and not talk about them? You could be creating reasons not to address an issue and the easiest one is saying “you don’t listen to me” or just giving up after talking to your partner because you don’t immediately see eye to eye. You aren’t going to always agree immediately, after all, you aren’t the same person. avoidant people would rather put off any uncomfortable conversation all together and they aren’t exactly known for their resiliency in conflict. It’s almost like being a stubborn pushover. You want it your way immediately, if you don’t get that then you claim to be unheard. And then you just give in because it’s a lot easier for you to go with the flow than it is to argue and resolve a conflict. The problem comes when you lie to yourself saying they’re always the problem because they won’t listen, not acknowledging that you might be saying that to avoid accountability. Both of y’all are stubborn, whether that manifests through being overbearing or avoidant doesn’t matter, it’s still being stubborn. and neither are right, but I promise that it’s just as annoying to your partner when you say “you’re right” or “yeah sure, I’m sorry” disingenuously as it is to you when they constantly repeat the same information over and over.
i like how you take complex concepts and give them to the average person, I've actually been the "anxious attachment" in my pass relationships always wanted control and didn't like to be in the unknown and it drive ppl away or lead to toxicity however the current attachment style I have is avoidant attachment and I give you my upmost gratitude for helping me identify that I'ma try to get some conviction in your tips, i gotta say I love life and it's lessons
I didn’t understand why I act the way I act but this video gave me more clarity and it makes sense. I was called annoying as a child by my classmates and my opinion never mattered. I was always ignored & nobody listened to me. I always have a lot to say but I don’t say anything because of the fear of being ignored as I was when I was younger. I’m quiet most of the time and I don’t associate myself with people at school or work.
I've recently been on a season of pain and hurt from my own actions.This is a good reminder for me to actually act and do things instead of just taking in information. Identifying my attachment style makes me realize more of myself and be self aware. Thank you Jem! *just realized this video came out after my birthday and i really needed this
This is so cool. My attachment style used to be insecure and avoidant when I was 18-25 when I turned 25 it turned into secure attachment style and the more self work I did and learned about myself in life, I learned to develop trust for myself and others. Being 29 noq I'm so secure within myself now. Working on how to communicate with others and express your feelings take time, but its so worth it. You have honest and more long term connections through it.
so do you just not care if your S.O cheats on you or do you just plan deal with it the best you can if it happens? what kind of boundaries do you have as a secure attached?
We are NOT born blank slates. The information about attachment styles is informative and interesting. However, babies are born with different temperaments and ask any mother who has had more than one child if she could treat one baby the same as the other to comfort or to provide support or make him / her happy in the same manner and I can promise you, the same conditions DO NOT make each child feel secure, safe or happy. Predictability and a schedule (love being most important of course) help every child significantly, but children are all unique from the moment they are born! Go call your own Mom and ask her how different you were from your own siblings. We each form attachments differently because we each seemed to have different perceptions right from the beginning. We seemed to notice different things and focus upon certain aspects of our environment which lead to particular interpretations by us that the environment either exacerbated and made worse OR mitigated and helped us feel more confident and secure about our place in the world.
I’m in my late teens and im so thankful i found your channel so soon, you’ve really helped me ‘wake up’ and work on my self 3 months and i feel like a whole new person, Thank you.
As a hypothetically mature adult (over60,) I’m compelled to reply. Ur gratitude is not misplaced. If I had had such valuable information earlier in my life I am positive many, many people would have experienced less pain.
Wow the understanding of self is such a complacent thing thank you for sharing your wisdom you know more than most psychologists & psychiatrists put together! Your a true Oracle helping others more than you know! Thank you 🙏
Complicated not complacent sorry it’s thie predictive text and me forgetting to spell check before I post! This man has all the wisdom and help you never get in counselling or therapy the understanding of our self! Genius!
I’m the first one. Anxious. But I love what you said about pain causing humans to change. Once i realized i was hurting my loved one because of this I really decided to change and I’m slowly but surely changing my brain to work on my emotions
I’ve been practicing being alone for 4 years. Now I don’t even want a relationship. I went from being in constant need of a partner to the other extreme
Wow I never understood WHY I dissociate when I'm having an argument. I literally have no idea how I feel or what I'm thinking and my partner doesn't believe me! We both watched this and understood a lot more :)
I have an avoidant attachment style 10:48 you are so correct, I have trouble processing my emotion that I become numb sometimes. This was when I was much younger... Ive improved while Im in a relationship and it improved my life
Semi anxious lover here who was dating a textbook avoidant. It was absolute torture when she decided to detach as soon as we became truly emotionally close and intimately connected. I just pushed further towards her with love and it just pushed her further away. I’m hoping and I’m fighting to process it all in a healthy way and not blame myself and feel like a loser. Let’s hope I win the battle
Lost cause dude i’ve been through the same thing. Thats her problem that she needs to fix snd if she doesnt even realize what shes doing is wrong then you need to walk away and move on. It hurts bro i know but if you got her then you can get another in the near future dont give up.
I have been there dude. Torturous. I hope you find a way to, as you said, process it healthily. Just know the internet strangers are proud of how far you have come.
Hey, mate. I was there too. And the funny part is that she ran away because she "wanted to be alone". Some months later she was already with someone new. Some people are quite inmature too and even if they know they have something good going on they, well, avoid it. Someone said before, we often run from what is not familiar. I can tell you, she is missing out and sadly, won't find something as good as you. Cheer up, mate. You have a lot of love to give and you will find someone new and waaaay better. I did. And I could do it, you can too. I am proud of you and I send you the best. Keep going.
i find it helpful for me to remind myself of things they have done that show their love for me and instead of when they say “i love you” or “i miss you” to take it in positively and to not immediately overthink about it
This is really cool, I have been practicing self-awareness for a year now and it is cool to see that it is a genuine thing that people do. I thought I was just a weirdo :)
Im just starting out spiritual wise, i never really took it further to meditation because it feels like my brain is so busy. Im talking to a girl now and she’s really great. Im nervous that my attachment style would drive her away. She insists that she’s there for me in all ways possible, im 22 now and honestly I dont really plan on going anywhere else as far as girls go I’ve been in too many bad ending relationships. I watch your videos everyday before I go to work to gain more insight on myself. I am a very self aware person as far as my feelings go, but man you help me a lot. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your knowledge, these facts about the mind and body. Im learning day by day to trust more, and be okay with letting my feelings go to a good place. Again, thanks homie.
i used to have anxious attachment, until i started healing & now ive got the secure one :) thank u btw for explaining em all ! this rly rly helped me understand em 100%
Honestly...this is the biggest thank you I could ever give..I hope many people watch this..I love that u did that.. This is fckn gods work that you're doing with beeing so direct and Makin it also understandable for literally every type of personality and personalities with disorders.. I seriously am so fckn impressed and blown away by this..that's the most professional and still empathetic way of expressing those very important life lessons..u basically do the work of every parent that wasn't passionate or even interested in beeing a parent that raises their child responsibility And yes..that with self awareness and actually takin it over and living it instead of just praising it but never change.. That is something so precious..because still there are people that will never know..and they will never even know why they should care about it even.
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. I feel like you’re explaining everything so well, but I don’t feel called out-Just inspired to make a positive change! Thank you for making this
This was the perfect video for the perfect time in my life. This is exactly the kind of issues Ive been having, and listening to you say what I really needed to hear has already helped me. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this.
2:25 Imma argue a technicality; to be clear I FW your content, I don’t have a “problem” with anything here. I appreciate your craftsmanship; and the time you put into your videos. It means more to people than one could ever fully know. Anyway, babies aren’t born as blank slates, a lot of our personalities, temperaments; and other aspect such as stress tolerance. The expression, and how we interpret ourselves. what that means to us almosy is a reflection of everything mentioned above. WHO and WHAT we are, simply exists and just is from birth, blank slate was an old hypothesis. It doesn’t outright change what’s being said, but it adds a whole extra layer to our understanding of who we are. Why hate what we were TOLD isn’t “okay”, if one can find a way to live that is “selfish” but adds to the world at large. Our meaning of who we ARE, that “thing” that is the “I am” of our prospective isn’t necessarily “real” or “true”; but that ego thinks ans has convinced you of its validity. Personally it make me think about all of the parents handing out CASES of asswhooping for the perception of a transgression. And how or what that means for any child’s personality or how they view authority; my parents definitely didn’t make it easy any easier ask for a raise I’ll tell you that.
I have noticed myself getting anxious and see that physically! I literally start shaking from anxiety whenever I communicate wth others, even though I consider myself a pretty open person and can form good relationships, i just physically get super anxious which makes me even more anxious
I subscribed !! I love when im in the phase of thinking about something im gonna change with my life/daily habits, because even though i know i wont be able to implement it right away, just thinking more intentionally about it makes it that much closer to being realized
Avoidant here. Related to a lot of what you said. Disappointment hurts like hell. I wasn’t driven to make a change 😂 It’s also a perpetual cycle, just like anxious. I’m to afraid to ask for help, whether physically emotionally, fear of being looked at as a burden. Therefore, I’m constantly exhausted trying to do everything myself. Now, I ask for help. If someone can’t or says no, it’s alright. I don’t take it personally or attach it to my self worth. I shot my shot. It’s fine, either way.
Jem, Thank You for these videos. I stumbled upon your channel not long ago and absolutely love the content. What you described in the last 3 minutes about applying the info into life and being in the same spot in 2025 if not done so was really powerful and motivational. Once again, thank you very much for the work you put in!
First -- amazing to see your channel popping off! Like a month ago I was getting it suggested and the views were small, so congrats on so many videos doing great, keep going ✨ Second -- love the video as always. I think this is one of the topics I hate getting into but need to work on more. I have no attachment issues with friends, co-workers, like, I do so well in those departments but romantic relationships...oph. I get into them and it's like all the sudden a switch gets turned on (I'm in anxious attachment) and it's so hard to disconnect from those anxious thoughts that create hypothetical scenarios that just cause chaos in my brain and body. It's like I'm torturing myself mentally even when my rational self knows there's no real problem. I'm quite self aware, have done a lot to improve my toxic thoughts & feelings around men, do meditation and have experienced just what you described in your video, as just being a clean slate, connecting to source, amazing. Anyways, the universe will continue to carry me and I know I'll find myself in a better, more secure space for a relationship someday. Thank for the amazing video 🌸
Having a hard time understanding where I stand. Id be a very organized in control disorganized attatchment. I control myself so well but also rarely show emotion but I do care deeply about people despite not being too attatched to them. Im extremely cold and yet people can feel how much I care through my actions of service and suffering for others sake. I have mourned my family that still lives and I dont live with them and leave little trace of myself. Pain is a neccessary and constant theme of how I function and helps me be good. Im at my best when Im suffering and under stress for a purpose. For my body, my life, or other people. I feel avoidant but maybe I fight it well. I did all the work, I found the way, and I made it happen. But its thanks to others that I had the opportunity.
Amazing video! I watched this and one way i've tried applying it is whenever I look at someone or something, I try notice things I didn't notice before. like the designs on the bathroom tiles or the ridges of a water bottle. And I try to think of them as objectively as possible. Let's say 'the bathroom tiles have lilac flowers.' or 'the marks on the ridge is a cm apart'. Then I try to take as much information in. 'the lilac flower has 4 petals, a yellow pistil and has a leaf that is deep green. There is a gap between 2 floral tiles.'. And then I focus on how I feel about it- good and bad or just no emotion. I think about how lilac is my favourite colour and having only 4 petals really accentuates the design. and for the negative side, how the yellow clashes with the other colours, and even if I don't care about how they are spaced, I take it into account and compartmentalise it. This just helps me clear my head out and instead of just focusing on one glaring thing completely overshadowing the other emotions, helps me see things overall. As of now, it. takes me a lot of time and often times I go silent because of it but I think as I get more used to it, I can bring it on more naturally. Above example is for an object but doing so for a person is harder, as we have past experiences and thoughts to shade our perspective. I am more of the avoidant type and for the longest time(even if I didn't fully believe in it), I blamed it on being a sagittarius just so I could have something to fall back on. and I and hoping to explain this process to my partner so that when I come to a conclusion after looking at them objectively, I can talk about how it makes me feel.
Man, I REALLY REALLY want to thank you for this one. The first video I watch from you. Such valuable information!! There' s definetely no other way to thrive, to "heal", to deal with our sh*t than looking inward. Just look and letting ourselves just feel. And yes, that certainly will be painful, that's for sure. But... There's joy and contenment after that fear of the unknown, fear of suffering. There's so much more suffering if we don't face these things 😅 So, we better do the work for causing ourselves genuine lasting happiness. Meditation has been the best gift I've given to myself. Pure deep teachings. USE your past experiences, your relationships & your emotions as material for growing, evolving and thriving! They appear for you for a reason. Thank you Jem!! Continue sharing your knowledge ❤ greetings from Mexico.
I am aware of being avoidant however I struggle a lot with it because as soon as I perceive anything like the person might leave me, the emotional detachment just happens automatically, and i dont know how to stop that
Just came across this video randomly. I've been on what I'd consider a spirit and mind journey for almost 5 years now, I'll already be 25 in 4 months. Anyways this video is quite literally helped me. I heard most of the feelings and self reflections I've had put into words where I haven't been able to before. While listening it brought me back down to earth from all that. Thanks JemVeda and UA-cam random feed lol. I hope everyone is doing well on their journey as well. Carpe Diem
Very well said! I'm glad I came across your videos. I'm very inspired by your collected acknowledge. You're perspectives are very insightful. I wish I could meet people like you in everyday life. Discovering reality in different aspects can get kind of lonely some times. I have developed a high self love but at the same time maybe a lot of avoidance as well.
I enjoyed the "Understanding People" series so much, thank you for your work Jem, the last thing you said about taking in more and more information to avoid the hard work, resonated a lot with me..I needed to hear that. Keep up the great job man!
It makes me sad that when I saw the list at around 14 minutes of secure attachment traits that my reaction was “must be f***** nice.. “ tinged green with envy . 😢I heard it and it hurt because I do want that for others . I want it for the future and younger generations. I just wish I had it myself as well . I am constantly working at it and have seen major iimprovements but the fantasy of being a well adjusted adult already primed for success by my mothers care still is here. There’s still resentments I need to work on so that it won’t make me sad/mad when I think of the tools I don’t have .. my goal is to be inspired by those who have that which I desire but I’m not there yet . Shit to be honest my desire is to desire less in general but that’s another practice altogether … lol . For all those people out there with self esteem,, thanks for showing the rest of us what it can look like . Not on a pedestal but simply a good role model.
I rarely like videos, but your content has really helped and made me view things differently. Just found your channel and it’s amazing, I look forward to the future of you.
I have done huge work in this area I have chosen not to have a romantic partner and been a hermit I love my own company I have come to a place that I am open to a romantic relationship I have had suitors approach with different red flags popping up I choose me lol I am not alone I am one I choose not to engage with a partner who has not done the work Honest two way communication and not trying to gaslight and overpower from the start Doesn't interest me So open to equal partnership and closed to unhealthy cycles This is a new way to view partnership for this I am Thank you for sharing this ❤🙏🏻❤
This is the best explanation of attachment styles I've encountered. You have a great gift for explaining complex ideas in a very understandable and interesting way. This the first time I've heard of "disidentifying with your past" and it resonated with me. I hadn't really realized how much my identity has been rooted in the past until I heard your explanation. Your video really clicked with me and helped me to see myself and others in new ways. Thanks so much for sharing! 💖 New subscriber! 🙂
Thinking about this really gets me anxious I start to think how I handled past relationships and how they dealt with me idk what’s the root of all this
The algorithm lead me to you at exactly the right moment. Watched a vid of yours, liked it, & thought I'd check this one out before subscribing (there're a lot of self-help channels... I gotta be picky). Reckon you'll be the reason I get back into meditation - thankyou for reminding me of source ✌💚
Insecure attachment theory has been so hard for me to get a grasp on because my parents/caregivers literally abandoned me at 5, to fend for my self, and ever since that age I became from what I can think of, an adult. None of the 4 categories really felt accurate to what i went through.
Ive learnt that I am secure, with the occasional overthinking at least I am now aware, I just gotta respect myself and set some good standards for myself, as most if not all women I've "dated" have been emotionally unavailable
I ask my husband to tell me “Good job” when I complete a project or task. Like I’m a child. Is that toxic? He doesn’t like to. I told him it just makes me feel seen for doing something really hard b/c of my adhd and cptsd. I don’t need validation for his love or loyalty. Just like some external validation😊 I didn’t get it from my momma! He has avoidant attachment style while I have disorganized

We run towards familiarity, and run from uncertainty.

Insecurity is familiarity.

Attachment styles is one of my favorite topics in psychology. I am an Avoidant.
Yeah it’s interesting for sure
i married my polar opposite 9 years ago. i am the avoidant one (for the sake of peace) because my opinions are not wanted 10 outta 10 times. my role in this marriage is to keep my mouth shut and go along to get along. even tho she comes to me after whatever situation blows over and says "you were right about xyz" my opinions create potent arguments. some people thrive in doing the same thing and expecting different results. they are not concerned with the right & wrong of it. they cannot and must not break their Routine.

My attachment style used to be insecure and avoidant when I was 18-25 when I turned 25 it turned into secure attachment style and the more self work I did and learned about myself in life, I learned to develop trust for myself and others. Being 29 noq I'm so secure within myself now. Working on how to communicate with others and express your feelings take time, but its so worth it. You have honest and more long term connections through it.
so do you just not care if your S.O cheats on you or do you just plan deal with it the best you can if it happens? what kind of boundaries do you have as a secure attached?
We are NOT born blank slates. The information about attachment styles is informative and interesting. However, babies are born with different temperaments and ask any mother who has had more than one child if she could treat one baby the same as the other to comfort or to provide support or make him / her happy in the same manner and I can promise you, the same conditions DO NOT make each child feel secure, safe or happy. Predictability and a schedule (love being most important of course) help every child significantly, but children are all unique from the moment they are born! Go call your own Mom and ask her how different you were from your own siblings. We each form attachments differently because we each seemed to have different perceptions right from the beginning. We seemed to notice different things and focus upon certain aspects of our environment which lead to particular interpretations by us that the environment either exacerbated and made worse OR mitigated and helped us feel more confident and secure about our place in the world.
It reminds me of when Jem said that something can traumatize one person but won’t affect another (as much)
Also some traits could be genetic maybe?
Wel damn it just hit me
I can tell as the oldest my mother raised me different from my other siblings. She put me in daycare and for my siblings she was able to stay home
Well said 👏 👌 👍🏾
damn that’s good
I’m in my late teens and im so thankful i found your channel so soon, you’ve really helped me ‘wake up’ and work on my self 3 months and i feel like a whole new person, Thank you.
How I wish to be like you man
As a hypothetically mature adult (over60,) I’m compelled to reply. Ur gratitude is not misplaced. If I had had such valuable information earlier in my life I am positive many, many people would have experienced less pain.
You were born to deliver these well thought out messages, extremely helpful indeed.
Wow the understanding of self is such a complacent thing thank you for sharing your wisdom you know more than most psychologists & psychiatrists put together! Your a true Oracle helping others more than you know! Thank you 🙏
Complicated not complacent sorry it’s thie predictive text and me forgetting to spell check before I post! This man has all the wisdom and help you never get in counselling or therapy the understanding of our self! Genius!
I’m the first one. Anxious. But I love what you said about pain causing humans to change. Once i realized i was hurting my loved one because of this I really decided to change and I’m slowly but surely changing my brain to work on my emotions
I’ve been practicing being alone for 4 years. Now I don’t even want a relationship. I went from being in constant need of a partner to the other extreme
Wow I never understood WHY I dissociate when I'm having an argument. I literally have no idea how I feel or what I'm thinking and my partner doesn't believe me! We both watched this and understood a lot more :)
I have an avoidant attachment style 10:48 you are so correct, I have trouble processing my emotion that I become numb sometimes. This was when I was much younger... Ive improved while Im in a relationship and it improved my life
Semi anxious lover here who was dating a textbook avoidant. It was absolute torture when she decided to detach as soon as we became truly emotionally close and intimately connected. I just pushed further towards her with love and it just pushed her further away.
I’m hoping and I’m fighting to process it all in a healthy way and not blame myself and feel like a loser. Let’s hope I win the battle
U can't the more you chase the more she runs
Lost cause dude i’ve been through the same thing. Thats her problem that she needs to fix snd if she doesnt even realize what shes doing is wrong then you need to walk away and move on. It hurts bro i know but if you got her then you can get another in the near future dont give up.
I have been there dude. Torturous. I hope you find a way to, as you said, process it healthily. Just know the internet strangers are proud of how far you have come.
Hey, mate. I was there too. And the funny part is that she ran away because she "wanted to be alone". Some months later she was already with someone new. Some people are quite inmature too and even if they know they have something good going on they, well, avoid it. Someone said before, we often run from what is not familiar.
I can tell you, she is missing out and sadly, won't find something as good as you.
Cheer up, mate. You have a lot of love to give and you will find someone new and waaaay better. I did. And I could do it, you can too. I am proud of you and I send you the best. Keep going.
@@juanmontenegro7239 Thanks mate pray we not give our hearts to people who don't value us .
Great video! Knowledge is useless unless it is applied . Our mess becomes our medicine.
🎯🎯
i find it helpful for me to remind myself of things they have done that show their love for me and instead of when they say “i love you” or “i miss you” to take it in positively and to not immediately overthink about it
This is really cool, I have been practicing self-awareness for a year now and it is cool to see that it is a genuine thing that people do. I thought I was just a weirdo :)
The last bit of your video on how we will learn things but never apply it, constantly learning with no progress. Deep stuff thank you
if possible, a podcast would be nice or something the fans can interact with the content more
Hmmm 👀🤔📝
I wish when i was as young i was this emotionally intelligent. I was pretty good but you are wise beyond your years. ❤
Thank you, that means a lot 🎉
Im just starting out spiritual wise, i never really took it further to meditation because it feels like my brain is so busy. Im talking to a girl now and she’s really great. Im nervous that my attachment style would drive her away. She insists that she’s there for me in all ways possible, im 22 now and honestly I dont really plan on going anywhere else as far as girls go I’ve been in too many bad ending relationships. I watch your videos everyday before I go to work to gain more insight on myself. I am a very self aware person as far as my feelings go, but man you help me a lot. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your knowledge, these facts about the mind and body. Im learning day by day to trust more, and be okay with letting my feelings go to a good place. Again, thanks homie.
As an AI I'm really glad you gave me so many informations that I didn't know
I love this series!
🙌
i used to have anxious attachment, until i started healing & now ive got the secure one :) thank u btw for explaining em all ! this rly rly helped me understand em 100%
I really love this video, I wish I came across it during my last relationship. She embodies the anxious attachment style perfectly.
Honestly...this is the biggest thank you I could ever give..I hope many people watch this..I love that u did that.. This is fckn gods work that you're doing with beeing so direct and Makin it also understandable for literally every type of personality and personalities with disorders..
I seriously am so fckn impressed and blown away by this..that's the most professional and still empathetic way of expressing those very important life lessons..u basically do the work of every parent that wasn't passionate or even interested in beeing a parent that raises their child responsibility
And yes..that with self awareness and actually takin it over and living it instead of just praising it but never change.. That is something so precious..because still there are people that will never know..and they will never even know why they should care about it even.
Thank you :), that means a lot 💜
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. I feel like you’re explaining everything so well, but I don’t feel called out-Just inspired to make a positive change! Thank you for making this
Great content!! Needed to hear that. Self-awareness as opposed to self-consciousness. I was overly self conscious growing up
👏🏿👏🏿
Anxious/disorganized,this was really helpful
ngl, having anxious style is the worst.
Great work. Doing a fantastic job spreading the knowledge! Keep it up; world needs good peoples like you.
Weirdness aside, this is why I love freud’s work, it is timeless because it applies to the psychology of humans. it is still so real to this day
Thank you, this is very helpful for me, and it's joyful and beautiful and peaceful to hang out with you
This was the perfect video for the perfect time in my life. This is exactly the kind of issues Ive been having, and listening to you say what I really needed to hear has already helped me. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this.
bro id never expect myself to have a favorite youtuber but aye here we are good videos bro ur a g
My phone is listening and delivered this to me today and I needed it. Thank you so much. I’m anxious. My love is avoidant
🎉💜
2:25
Imma argue a technicality; to be clear I FW your content, I don’t have a “problem” with anything here.
I appreciate your craftsmanship; and the time you put into your videos.
It means more to people than one could ever fully know.
Anyway, babies aren’t born as blank slates, a lot of our personalities, temperaments; and other aspect such as stress tolerance.
The expression, and how we interpret ourselves. what that means to us almosy is a reflection of everything mentioned above.
WHO and WHAT we are, simply exists and just is from birth, blank slate was an old hypothesis.
It doesn’t outright change what’s being said, but it adds a whole extra layer to our understanding of who we are.
Why hate what we were TOLD isn’t “okay”, if one can find a way to live that is “selfish” but adds to the world at large.
Our meaning of who we ARE, that “thing” that is the “I am” of our prospective isn’t necessarily “real” or “true”; but that ego thinks ans has convinced you of its validity.
Personally it make me think about all of the parents handing out CASES of asswhooping for the perception of a transgression.
And how or what that means for any child’s personality or how they view authority; my parents definitely didn’t make it easy any easier ask for a raise I’ll tell you that.
This is awesome 👏🏽
This is the greatest most helpful video I've seen ever
🙏🙏
I really can't understand how people stayed together and made kids ever with all these issues, like look at the amount of people on the planet wtf
I have noticed myself getting anxious and see that physically! I literally start shaking from anxiety whenever I communicate wth others, even though I consider myself a pretty open person and can form good relationships, i just physically get super anxious which makes me even more anxious
And yes I grew up with a yelling mom and an angry dad
suggestion: your opinion/ knowledge on social hierarchies, social ostracism etc
That attachment suite is dangerous i think that's a huge part of why I still battle addiction with literally any substance I can't get my hands on.
I feel ya
If only this video existed 5 years ago.. man... thanks
Bro thank you so much for these videos. I have a hard time understanding myself and these videos have helped me out a lot 🙏🏾
Thank you 🙏
This is so up my alley. Glad I found this channel
I love your videos! They are so easily understanding but deep at the same time
💜💜
All these time I kept blaming myself for becoming this way, thanks for explaining
Amazing video, I learned new things about myself and how to improve because of this
I subscribed !! I love when im in the phase of thinking about something im gonna change with my life/daily habits, because even though i know i wont be able to implement it right away, just thinking more intentionally about it makes it that much closer to being realized
I just came across your videos today and this is the second one I’m watching. Really great content. Already subscribed! Thank you.
Yo dis changed my life ❤
Bro you make this so easy to understand
You have so much knowledge and wisdom and these videos are a blessing for people like myself. Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching!
Avoidant here. Related to a lot of what you said. Disappointment hurts like hell.
I wasn’t driven to make a change 😂
It’s also a perpetual cycle, just like anxious. I’m to afraid to ask for help, whether physically emotionally, fear of being looked at as a burden. Therefore, I’m constantly exhausted trying to do everything myself.
Now, I ask for help. If someone can’t or says no, it’s alright. I don’t take it personally or attach it to my self worth. I shot my shot. It’s fine, either way.
Jem, Thank You for these videos. I stumbled upon your channel not long ago and absolutely love the content. What you described in the last 3 minutes about applying the info into life and being in the same spot in 2025 if not done so was really powerful and motivational.
Once again, thank you very much for the work you put in!
Thanks for your support! Yes, application of knowledge can change a lot in one’s life
Thank you for this. It has helped me to understand my husband and myself better.
Listening your voice before seeing your face is the best part i missed 😁😁
First -- amazing to see your channel popping off! Like a month ago I was getting it suggested and the views were small, so congrats on so many videos doing great, keep going ✨ Second -- love the video as always. I think this is one of the topics I hate getting into but need to work on more. I have no attachment issues with friends, co-workers, like, I do so well in those departments but romantic relationships...oph. I get into them and it's like all the sudden a switch gets turned on (I'm in anxious attachment) and it's so hard to disconnect from those anxious thoughts that create hypothetical scenarios that just cause chaos in my brain and body. It's like I'm torturing myself mentally even when my rational self knows there's no real problem. I'm quite self aware, have done a lot to improve my toxic thoughts & feelings around men, do meditation and have experienced just what you described in your video, as just being a clean slate, connecting to source, amazing. Anyways, the universe will continue to carry me and I know I'll find myself in a better, more secure space for a relationship someday. Thank for the amazing video 🌸
Yes anxious thoughts can definitely consume you. It’s all about being bigger than them :)
Thank you for mentioning chakras and spiritual growth
Having a hard time understanding where I stand. Id be a very organized in control disorganized attatchment.
I control myself so well but also rarely show emotion but I do care deeply about people despite not being too attatched to them. Im extremely cold and yet people can feel how much I care through my actions of service and suffering for others sake. I have mourned my family that still lives and I dont live with them and leave little trace of myself. Pain is a neccessary and constant theme of how I function and helps me be good. Im at my best when Im suffering and under stress for a purpose. For my body, my life, or other people.
I feel avoidant but maybe I fight it well. I did all the work, I found the way, and I made it happen. But its thanks to others that I had the opportunity.
Amazing video! I watched this and one way i've tried applying it is whenever I look at someone or something, I try notice things I didn't notice before. like the designs on the bathroom tiles or the ridges of a water bottle. And I try to think of them as objectively as possible. Let's say 'the bathroom tiles have lilac flowers.' or 'the marks on the ridge is a cm apart'.
Then I try to take as much information in. 'the lilac flower has 4 petals, a yellow pistil and has a leaf that is deep green. There is a gap between 2 floral tiles.'.
And then I focus on how I feel about it- good and bad or just no emotion.
I think about how lilac is my favourite colour and having only 4 petals really accentuates the design. and for the negative side, how the yellow clashes with the other colours, and even if I don't care about how they are spaced, I take it into account and compartmentalise it.
This just helps me clear my head out and instead of just focusing on one glaring thing completely overshadowing the other emotions, helps me see things overall.
As of now, it. takes me a lot of time and often times I go silent because of it but I think as I get more used to it, I can bring it on more naturally. Above example is for an object but doing so for a person is harder, as we have past experiences and thoughts to shade our perspective.
I am more of the avoidant type and for the longest time(even if I didn't fully believe in it), I blamed it on being a sagittarius just so I could have something to fall back on. and I and hoping to explain this process to my partner so that when I come to a conclusion after looking at them objectively, I can talk about how it makes me feel.
Man, I REALLY REALLY want to thank you for this one. The first video I watch from you. Such valuable information!! There' s definetely no other way to thrive, to "heal", to deal with our sh*t than looking inward. Just look and letting ourselves just feel. And yes, that certainly will be painful, that's for sure. But... There's joy and contenment after that fear of the unknown, fear of suffering. There's so much more suffering if we don't face these things 😅 So, we better do the work for causing ourselves genuine lasting happiness. Meditation has been the best gift I've given to myself. Pure deep teachings. USE your past experiences, your relationships & your emotions as material for growing, evolving and thriving! They appear for you for a reason. Thank you Jem!! Continue sharing your knowledge ❤ greetings from Mexico.
Syncronicity forsure, this came up just less than 24 hours ago & now your video! Ty ~
I am aware of being avoidant however I struggle a lot with it because as soon as I perceive anything like the person might leave me, the emotional detachment just happens automatically, and i dont know how to stop that
Just came across this video randomly. I've been on what I'd consider a spirit and mind journey for almost 5 years now, I'll already be 25 in 4 months. Anyways this video is quite literally helped me. I heard most of the feelings and self reflections I've had put into words where I haven't been able to before. While listening it brought me back down to earth from all that. Thanks JemVeda and UA-cam random feed lol. I hope everyone is doing well on their journey as well. Carpe Diem
Very well said! I'm glad I came across your videos. I'm very inspired by your collected acknowledge. You're perspectives are very insightful. I wish I could meet people like you in everyday life. Discovering reality in different aspects can get kind of lonely some times. I have developed a high self love but at the same time maybe a lot of avoidance as well.
Thank you and keep growing :)
I enjoyed the "Understanding People" series so much, thank you for your work Jem, the last thing you said about taking in more and more information to avoid the hard work, resonated a lot with me..I needed to hear that.
Keep up the great job man!
It makes me sad that when I saw the list at around 14 minutes of secure attachment traits that my reaction was “must be f***** nice.. “ tinged green with envy . 😢I heard it and it hurt because I do want that for others . I want it for the future and younger generations. I just wish I had it myself as well . I am constantly working at it and have seen major iimprovements but the fantasy of being a well adjusted adult already primed for success by my mothers care still is here. There’s still resentments I need to work on so that it won’t make me sad/mad when I think of the tools I don’t have .. my goal is to be inspired by those who have that which I desire but I’m not there yet . Shit to be honest my desire is to desire less in general but that’s another practice altogether … lol . For all those people out there with self esteem,, thanks for showing the rest of us what it can look like . Not on a pedestal but simply a good role model.
this is so good keep it up!!
This is very helpful to me, thank you!
You are awesome man! I’m living the same! Love it!
Thank you 🙏, I appreciate it truly
Very helpful... Explains alot... Thank you...❤
💜💜
casual W as usual.
I rarely like videos, but your content has really helped and made me view things differently. Just found your channel and it’s amazing, I look forward to the future of you.
I have done huge work in this area
I have chosen not to have a romantic partner and been a hermit
I love my own company
I have come to a place that I am open to a romantic relationship
I have had suitors approach with different red flags popping up
I choose me lol
I am not alone I am one
I choose not to engage with a partner who has not done the work
Honest two way communication and not trying to gaslight and overpower from the start
Doesn't interest me
So open to equal partnership and closed to unhealthy cycles
This is a new way to view partnership for this I am
Thank you for sharing this ❤🙏🏻❤
Well said, thanks for sharing :)
@@JemVeda you are wellcalm 💖🙏🏻💖
Thank you for sharing ☺️
Reminds me that I am on the right track
This is the best explanation of attachment styles I've encountered. You have a great gift for explaining complex ideas in a very understandable and interesting way. This the first time I've heard of "disidentifying with your past" and it resonated with me. I hadn't really realized how much my identity has been rooted in the past until I heard your explanation. Your video really clicked with me and helped me to see myself and others in new ways.
Thanks so much for sharing! 💖 New subscriber! 🙂
great video dude this really helped me open my mind
I finally understood what is my attachment style!
It is the disorganized one 😔
Thinking about this really gets me anxious I start to think how I handled past relationships and how they dealt with me idk what’s the root of all this
You taught me so much thank you 🙏
Great to hear :)
These videos really help! Thank you!
One of the best videos I've seen on this topic, you explain it all very well. I wish I could send this to some people lol
As an Alien this really helps me to connect with humanity!. I love this series!.
The algorithm lead me to you at exactly the right moment. Watched a vid of yours, liked it, & thought I'd check this one out before subscribing (there're a lot of self-help channels... I gotta be picky). Reckon you'll be the reason I get back into meditation - thankyou for reminding me of source ✌💚
I appreciate this video bro , it made me feel better and realize that I need to become more secure and be able to be alone 💯 you earned a sub! 🙏🏼
Welcome to the channel 🌱
Insecure attachment theory has been so hard for me to get a grasp on because my parents/caregivers literally abandoned me at 5, to fend for my self, and ever since that age I became from what I can think of, an adult. None of the 4 categories really felt accurate to what i went through.
I applaud that, sounds like very hard circumstances.
@@JemVeda it has been. Educating myself on psychology, philosophy, and history has saved my life in so many ways. Why I love your channel ❤️
@@RikisVlogs
Get better. Life was never meant to be easy. We just gotta keep going with a positive spirit
Ive learnt that I am secure, with the occasional overthinking at least I am now aware, I just gotta respect myself and set some good standards for myself, as most if not all women I've "dated" have been emotionally unavailable
have really been enjoying your videos. thanks for all the hard work.
what a great video. well done man
Psychopath must love this channel
Great video I loved how you connected it with the chakras and how they can help us heal ourselves keep up the great work!
I ask my husband to tell me “Good job” when I complete a project or task. Like I’m a child. Is that toxic? He doesn’t like to. I told him it just makes me feel seen for doing something really hard b/c of my adhd and cptsd. I don’t need validation for his love or loyalty. Just like some external validation😊 I didn’t get it from my momma! He has avoidant attachment style while I have disorganized
It’s important to communicate that, good job :)
Really appreciate this bruv
You help me alot. Going to practice this daily starting today and see where I'm at a year from now ❤
Great information thank you its perfect for the space im in
