Indeed, back in my junior to senior highschool years I've been extremely depressed, fortunately not to the point it was suicidal. I would've loved to talked about it to anyone but at the time I was avoiding some of my friends and I didn't want to ruin this image I created for my parents. It got really bad to the point I would berate myself believing that self degradation is my motiviation. Its not, in fact it became the main reason why I started to hate myself. Because of that, I couldn't bear being alone nor being with people I'm not comfortable with. I was silently breaking, everyday I felt like I was hollow, like nothing mattered. At some point my depression was slowly dying down. I accepted that everything was pointless and that it was fine, essentially being an absurdist without even knowing it. I still couldn't get over being alone. I would still be really sad when I am, until I came across this video from an old cowboy. He taught me how to learn to live with myself, to forgive myself and love myself. And so I did, overtime I stopped self berating, and whenever I made a mistake I'd tell myself that its fine and I could try again. I learned to love myself. Fast forward to now, I think I need to relearn how to live with other people, I find isolation quite calming and peaceful, almost enjoying it more than the company of my own family. They once visited me and the whole small apartment was rowdy, I had to go outside the balcony to record this project for college and never had I ever been so ecstatic to feel isolation.
A good excercise that I do: dont listen to the radio in the car. Turn it off so its quiet on your drive, then focus on positive thoughts and ideas for your hobbies and interests.
@apolloisashirt I grew up very similar. I'm at the point where I love being by myself too much. Where being around others makes me feel uncomfortable and feel draining my energy and anxiety at time. I think that I need to put myself out there around people more and be the center of attention to get over this and to feel comfortable again. Because I don't really like attention pretty strange 😂
Aye bro i give u a extra big salute I learn from both positive n negative I choose to not judge people because we all have ben through ups n downs n its still some who are down I prey for them Man its so much to learn its beautiful
Remember that you don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are. So focus on love. Focus on happiness. Focus on feeling fulfilled and like you already have everything you’ve ever wanted. Focus on gratitude. You are a powerful source of energy. When you do this, you will get what you want because you are in alignment and focusing on all you have instead of a lack. Just know you have everything you have ever wanted. It’s already yours . Be joyful! Sending loving energy to you all. ❤️
As a recovering addict there’s alot to be said for beeing stoic. Iv been brought up with a father who was extremely stoic and a real man’s man and man of his word He’s in his 70s now Iv learned so much from him and am forever grateful
Hold up - why do you want to get ahead of 98% of people in the first place? I’m fairly sure that the Stoics would be against that as the battle is with yourself and not others… suddenly I have a feeling that you’re in an ego trap with your channel and looking for approval from others. Might be time to take a step back and rethink what you’re really looking for in life
Because this channel is very strange. Sometimes it preaches great things but other times it completely contradicts itself. It feels as though this video is co-opting Stoicism (and IS well-researched) but ultimately fails to deliver the message that the True Stoics of the ancient world would be trying to push.
Good morning Jem! I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I see a lot of good videos in your library to catch up on. I appreciate your wisdom and insight.
Jem, I have to say that I’m grateful for stumbling across your channel. It’s helped a lot in these past couple months. I just wanted to ask, how do I stop obsessing over my reality, and finding some type of purpose? I know there isn’t a right way, and sometimes philosophy science, and other peoples beliefs, well… they kind of terrify me. Sometimes I feel like everything around me is fake, obsess over simulation theory, how things in my reality work, and just endless questioning, until I lose some type of understanding and I almost wanna panic. It’s really only happened maybe once, where I felt like nothing made sense. The people that are around me, family and friends, how do I just stop thinking in my head and get out? And I guess over obsess about the unknown too much. My therapist and other people tell me to just try and stay in the present. I don’t wanna think like a nihilist, I don’t want to believe that nothing ever really matters. What still gives me some type of sense and belief is the love that I have for my loved ones or people in general that have impacted me in a positive way. Idk, I feel like it’s just a battle with myself at the end of the day. I’ve come to realize that it’s just a cycle too. I guess society and my ego kind of play a big part in this, trying to see things in a self-awareness POV, any advice?
You have to practice. It takes great effort. Meaning real work. I've had to pay attention to letting go relaxing and releasing negative thinking almost all day. What helps me is to remember this is a very high level skill to master your mind. So approach it with the attitude of learning a musical instrument. You have yo start very simple and it will take time and consistency. Then slowly you begin to notice a total shift in your actual inner dialog and outlook
Hey ruben I experienced this and asked myself these and more questions at the age of 6 that triggered a panic attack where I thought I was dying. I’m 29 now and ever since I’ve dealt with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, etc. let’s talk and maybe find something in common that’s causing these thoughts obsessively
Like Jem said, allow yourself to feel these emotions, don't carry them any longer than they need to be, I'm confident your scattered thoughts will fall neatly into place given a little time, meanwhile it is an opportunity to practice reflection, strengthen your stress tolerance muscle, and be compassionate and patient with yourself. You'll come out of this wave a lot more confident and prepared for the next wave.
Hey man! Discovered you a few days ago and I've learned a lot from your videos, I subscribed! Thank you so much for sharing this divine knowledge and wisdom,
Amen to this, even tho jesus named isn’t mentioned, the Christian life style is all about this, your inner strength doesn’t come from yourself but from our creator, believe in him and all your worries will be free, happiness is in him, fill your body with spiritual food and not social media, may god be with you all
gross. objective morality is totally wrong. people are happy in areas that Christianity has never touched. ur way isn't the right way. It's just One Way. I don't want your God, I'm happy without him. It isn't him that got me through my toughest times, it's myself and my own sheer determination. All I can control is myself. Why would I put faith in some idealistic being? All ancient Stoics were not religious whatsoever.
Love your videos man you have helped me improve certain aspects drastically. Just a special request but it is possible you could do a video on fear of women? I’m turning 20 next week and almost my entire life I’ve been rejected by girls. I’ve had the conclusion it may be a generational thing as I’m the last child and my dad was a big time player with women. I had tendencies like writing love letters in kindergarten lmao. Great content bro keep up the good work God bless.
Depends entirely on your "target audience", so to speak. An intelligent woman will want an intelligent man, while an unintelligent woman will want a man with status and/or wealth. The two couldn't be more different, and the same is true for men. General advice would be: Don't be giddy or greedy, be comfortable with yourself instead of feeling the need to portray some public persona and, most importantly, be fully and entirely honest. She'll figure out what you really think eventually. With those combined, talking to women becomes easy rather than exhausting, and you can afford to take on a couple failures - you'll be having fun rather than reaching for a win. And that's the best dating advice anyone can give: Just aim to have fun, even when asking someone out. It doesn't matter what works, but rather, what you're comfortable with. It also helps to expect the same things from her. Greedy nutjob women do exist, lying women do exist (lying humans are probably in the majority) and only a perfectly honest relationship has a chance on the long term. If you just want a one-night stand, work on your appearance and go to a bar or something (amusingly, that's how I met my lifelong partner by sheer accident). Brutally honest pickup lines also work well: Instead of some "angel to earth" trash, just say "you look interesting, wanna go out sometime?". Say it calmly and with confidence, like you mean it and won't be disappointed if she says no (that's the hard part), and don't do the whole "plausible deniability" thing - it's unappealingly childish. Again, don't be afraid to return the favor - be prepared to say no if she turns out to be a vapid skank. Lastly, remember that the woman you're looking at isn't the only woman watching, in most cases. If you commonly mingle with mixed groups and conduct yourself honorably, without an ulterior motive, you'd be surprised how much easier it is to find someone. Groups of only men are about as appealing to women as groups of only women are to men, meaning not very. It pays to demonstrate maturity, which at times may even include a willingness to go against the grain and tell an unethical person that s/he is a douche. "Nice guys finish last" in a nutshell.
love yourself first in order to truly love one another. you can't truly love someone if it's just for your (broken) ego. if you are aware of that, start being comfortable alone. it's the most valueable thing a man can learn these days imo. all the best G!
woman here - my biggest advice is be normal. i know it sounds weird. by be normal i mean treat women the same way you treat men. don't view us as something foreign, something that is fundamentally different from men. we're all humans and we operate in a similar fashion, even though it doesn't seem that way at times. people are remarkably similar. make friends with women, talk to women, make meaningful connections with them, with no friendzone bullshit extravaganza. i know at times the 'friendzone' may seem like the worst thing, but imagine the other way around. you are thinking you made a friend and then find out all they wanted was to fuck be thankful for those friendships, you can learn a lot from them. along the way, you will get more comfortable with talking to women in general. one day, you will meet someone who will be interested in you just as much as you are in them. also, as another person said, be comfortable in yourself and be comfortable with rejection. best of luck ❤
Why do I feel like nobody else but me is interested in self improvement? This sounds very self centred and it is, but whenever I look around I just feel alone
lots of people SAY they're into self-improvement, but in reality are just trying to fit the mold brought onto them by men trying to sell a course or product. They're lacking in direction and want to just be accepted. Really fear for these young boys in that regard. Not just you, but a lot of people aren't clear on what "self improvement" actually is. They think they're improving themselves but they're shutting off their own emotions by trying to abide by a standard of what a "Man" / "woman" is supposed to be.
I try stoicism now for 1 month and make good progress and my life is easier now atm - thank you so much for upload this video it’s a sign for me! I need to learn and try to master this life option! Love from Germany
i just found this account and i just want to say that if everyone could listen to these messages then the world wouldn’t be so full of monopolization and propaganda, we as a species have strayed so far from what we are meant to do in the world to the point of ignorance. thank you for reminding those who want to listen the virtues that make life true. ♥️
I love your videos fr man How did you become to knowledgeable? I wanna know more about you and ur upbringing it would be cool if you made a video explaining more about yourself
Hey family I really like your videos I feel that they are very informative do you have any books to recommend I tend to remember and apply the knowledge I get from them easier.
I'm thinking serving others can detract from fixing yourself. It OK to serve/care for/love yourself as a model for caring for others. It's a burden, but I do it for you isn't a good example. My take on being stoic is I'm OK and I'll be here if you need me. I think you lose your freedom if your trying to fix other people.
You are literally the person I've been looking for this entire time on UA-cam, I absolutely love your way of thinking. It's helped me perpetuate my own philosophical ideas to a point where I've learned to be mindful and present everyday. Thank you very much sir for your wise wise words🙏
Ive been reading the new testament recently and im fascinating how good this philosophy you are talking about actually justifies some main principles that Jesus christ has told us!
Highly recommend reading some more updated literature that's free from the shackles of religion like Ancient Greek/Roman ethical reasoning. Jesus thought there was inherent value in life and emotions which, while comforting, doesn't necessarily fall in line with stoicism. Plus when you get too into religious perspectives you get into the whole "Objective Morality" stuff, which stoicism is a stark contrast to.
If anybody in the comments here are truly into stoicism, highly recommend buying some books and/or reading The Great's works online. Not just Marcus Aurelius, even though his name is thrown around a ton, but also Hellenistic philosophy courses, and having a good foundation of Aristotle's ethical reasoning is a must.
I want to do things with my life and be successful. I just don’t like the feeling of family and friends making a big deal out of it. It’s holding me back and I don’t know why.
Do your history a lot of these people and philosophers got their knowledge from the black Egyptians the Greeks was even envy about blacks owing the world @ that time
wow!! your videos have been showing up in my recommended, but i always saved them for later due to their length. i saw this video and genuinely sat down and watched with no distractions. it was my first introduction to stoicism, and i think what ive needed for a long time. ive felt so volatile recently, and i respond to every little provocation (usually with anger and jealousy). unfortunately im feeling the toll of this; im constantly stressed and worn out because of all these intense emotions. ive assumed that this is just who i am as a person, hotheaded or someone who overreacts. i took notes in my journal as i watched, and i will try to begin applying these concepts into my life thank you so much :)
Damn bro I’d love to be as calm and reflected as you one day. Great how far your channel has come been here for only half a year and you gained so many subscribers !
Learning how to be alone with yourself is probably the greatest thing I’ve learned thus far.
Nice 🔥

@@Vid_MasterI started to do this on my bike rides few weeks ago and wow. What a difference it makes, compared to listen something.
Aye bro i give u a extra big salute
I learn from both positive n negative
I choose to not judge people because we all have ben through ups n downs n its still some who are down
I prey for them
Man its so much to learn its beautiful
The stoics have enriched my life in every aspect, work, personal familia.

I’m grateful for these videos keep these up man 🙏🏾

Real stoicism is how to get ahead WITH the 98% of people.
THIS. it's not about getting ahead of others. that's egotistic. It's about going at your own speed and helping others gain themselves.
Basically don’t be controlled by your emotions but rather let it flow into the ocean while you observe not taking action until your rational
We are only as big as the smallest thing that provokes us.
"It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor." - Seneca
Love it
Your visuals are next level, and great topic!
Thanks! 💪🏿
The best way to learn is to help yourself adapt to any potential outcome
Hold up - why do you want to get ahead of 98% of people in the first place? I’m fairly sure that the Stoics would be against that as the battle is with yourself and not others… suddenly I have a feeling that you’re in an ego trap with your channel and looking for approval from others. Might be time to take a step back and rethink what you’re really looking for in life
Because this channel is very strange. Sometimes it preaches great things but other times it completely contradicts itself. It feels as though this video is co-opting Stoicism (and IS well-researched) but ultimately fails to deliver the message that the True Stoics of the ancient world would be trying to push.
Love your vids! Could u do a vid about your favourite books?
That’s worth exploring. I also have book suggestions on the community Instagram page: @jemveda.community
Your vids always come at the right time with the right message 🙌
Peace and love brotha!

if you fear nothing and have supreme confidence then Rock bottom makes a great foundation for a strong future.

That’s not in my vocabulary :), thanks for watching 😎😎
Isn’t this a reupload? Or did you just make a very similar video a little while ago,
This isn’t a reupload. I have older videos on Stoicism but this goes way more in depth

He said we can't control other people.......... Ok😮💨
I want a brilliant partner just like you I’m gonna manifest that🎉
I don't even try to be stoic it's just natural
wow!! your videos have been showing up in my recommended, but i always saved them for later due to their length. i saw this video and genuinely sat down and watched with no distractions. it was my first introduction to stoicism, and i think what ive needed for a long time. ive felt so volatile recently, and i respond to every little provocation (usually with anger and jealousy). unfortunately im feeling the toll of this; im constantly stressed and worn out because of all these intense emotions. ive assumed that this is just who i am as a person, hotheaded or someone who overreacts.
i took notes in my journal as i watched, and i will try to begin applying these concepts into my life
thank you so much :)
This video came at the right time for me
