13:17 an emotional train hit me where it hurts after you said all that. the girl i'm supposed to be with is now on social media addicted to validation from guys on there. i fell victim of this as well, and the addiction took me away from the girl i'm supposed to be with as well. you're a very smart man hamza, and you're definitely on the something when you say this. hearing that really got me thinking and realizing the power of social media stealing a life from everyone. a life of falling in love and living happy, i'm definitely going to abandon my instagram account now.
@@amartyapandit well i didnt say anything like that but you can try to make her get into self improvement and if she doesnt want to then shes not worth it btw i was talking about how he should delete his insta account instead of loging off
@@karatewithelian9014 kinda hard though when you're in a world where everyone communicates through social media, and if you don't use it you get left out
@@MostIySilent Imagine respecting someone for admitting to lying to you. You guys are pathetic. I dont watch this loser but the comments of his fanboys are hilarious.
Guys, remember, UA-cam is also (largely) a social media. We may justify to ourselves that we use it to seek educational content, which I can't deny, might be the initial intention we have. But these nerds, like Hamza said, already got us by the balls. You and I might spend our time watching these self-improvement videos and actually take action. But there will always be that addicted, brainwashed part of us that will ge sucked into the rabbit hole of the algorithm. I want to make you aware of this, as self-awareness is one of, if not the most important aspect of making sustainable progress. Take care and God be with you ^^
Thanks for being an eye-opener for me, Whenever I open UA-cam, it directly knows what I wanna watch. It's like, the algorithm is a manipulative friend who studies and knows you and over time will consume you. Thank you so much.
As men, and more generally as full grown adults, it is ridiculous to let so called social medias destroy your mental health, makes you addict, or whatever. These guys could make the platform as addictive as they want, it is still just a screen and useless informations. You can easily switch them off. (I am not talking about kids and teens, though.) But as a man, or as a woman, I am sorry but you have no excuses. Social medias are ridiculous and aren't addictive at all, at least when your IQ is above average. I find online dating apps to be much more dangerous and pernicious, because although it is just a screen that you can switch off, it has affected the whole dating world. So even if you are not directly using them, the fact that roughly 40% of young folks are using them makes meeting new people in real life more difficult than in our grandparents prime years.
@@vegetossgss1114 I'm a teen, but I also consider this social media thing is very bad for me. My mental health was fcked. I only use yt now and I still open it from time to time. But my consumption was lesser than before. I'm actually improving because of hamza. Noticed some muscle gains here and there, been socializing and my overall sleep quality is now amazing.
Jeff was almost me at one point. Self study and taking action (gym) was hard, but the hardest thing is to start admitting what the situation is "I AM A LAZY SHIT" once u understand this (deeply understand it)
I understand it and the only thing I'm doing for improvement is going to the gym. (Mostly because I impulse bought a tub of creatine monohydrate and don't feel like wasting it lol)
Dude, this is the first time I've felt anger while watching Hamza. If this is not the thing that is really going to motivate me to be different, nothing will
10:00 You can see he has a real passion for saving us, for saving lives from social media. He genuinely looks pissed. He looks very angry and this is why I watch Hamza. He's so strong in what he says you feel better just from hearing this man's voice. From one Adonis to another, thank you Hamza.

I cried when you mentioned about the ideal girl/wife, and how my child wouldn't have to go through what we young men had to go through. Thank you Hamza.
Dude, I'm a software developer and I've seen the industry from the inside. Vast majority of "software developers" have no idea what they are doing and are not smart of alpha in any shape or form. They just do what they are told.
@@aptus716 it's not fucking programmers who come up with that shit Programmers/developers literally JUST do what they are told to do, they just implement shit they are told go implement
Yeah honestly Hamza is a good guy and all but its not necessarily the developers who come up with the IDEAS per say. Someone higher up makes those types of calls, while the developer team gets to work implementing it.
@@aptus716 no one knows how those algorithms work. They are machine learning algorithms, so humans only provide a basic setup heuristic, and then the machine does all the real work of determining our preferences in very mysterious ways
Makesure to try to learn critical thinking skills because Hamza might not say the best things all the time the self improvement basic stuff is great tho but develop your own mind don’t be a fan boy and join the cult
@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 Hamza lashing out at us helps me reminded that how important this stuff is I deleted instgram before discovering Hamza in the beginning of 2021. And I say it was one ot the best decision of my life. Being a teen without ig in this time is very weird to many people. The amount of peace I found after that was fucking incredible! I got to know everything from the Netflix documentary The social dilemma and knowing how bad it is I gave up on ig.
Hamza I’m really grateful that you help all of us young men on our journey from the Jeffrey to Adonis transformation and I really hope you keep on doing this it helps me alot and since I’m watching you I got my life together I meditate which really helps me concentrating in school and I work out and I’m just feeling so good right now and I couldn’t believe that I were in such a bad state before I were depressed and on the down of my life but now I’m feeling so much better and I just wanted to thank you (if my English isn’t that good I’m sorry I speak German normally)
I’m sometimes bullied for being a nerd and sometimes people think it’s cool. I feel like it’s a thing that constantly switches between “being a nerd is lame” and “being a nerd is cool now”. I just enjoy spending my time learning new things, I do programming in several languages, math and 3D graphics as hobby. Most of my hobbies and work take place behind a computer although I workout, walk and do some other activities to keep myself strong and fit.
@@pratyushbachyas2958 way less now than it used to be but I sometimes still get commented on it. lol I sometimes still have that "nerd energy" when I start talking about highly technical topics or explain things to people.
Goosebumps down my spine after hearing this. Hamza you have really made an impact on my life in every good way. I have removed all of social media, video games, fapping and porn and i never even liked junk food bro its just awful. Yeah im not at that Adonis level yet and there is a lot for me to learn. The fact that im 14 and already made sick progress is just amazing. Now when I understand world around me, I can see how many Jefferies are out there and I used to be just like one of them. Now im going to write dow in my gratitude journal just how thankful I am for finding this young, wise, rich and kind man Hamza. Make this your motivation for this amazing journey. Stay strong brothers!❤👑 Love from Croatia🇭🇷
Im one of the weirdos that never had a social media even when I was in high school. Kinda nice to see that Im on track with at least one of Hamza's life advices.
I do think intelligence has a massive role on your “Chad” status. Since no one really like the massive meathead who just give off the brawn>brain vibe. I guess that’s why having a balance is extremely important to be a high value man.
You should read the art of manliness book. Brawns are not only a sex symbol, they are a mark of your physical capanility to do hard tasks and protective ability. Only muscles don't suffice, you need to learn fighting (in proper spirit, very important. It's easy to go in the animal route.) , Swim, and work.
Chad meme gives massive meathead vibes though, a dude who has no style, blonde, tanned, wears ugly colors that don't fit together and walks like a gorilla. Not stylish, smart and definitely not independent because his value depends on betas. He can't exist outside of that stupid hierarchy. I have never understood why people use that term sincerely, it has always been sarcastic for me, some obnoxious idiot who doesn't have a mind of his own but is popular because the masses praise mediocrity. And definitely herd follower.
And then again.. i'm commenting on a video made by you on a platform of those 'nerds'. Discord, UA-cam, all of that.. what? You thought UA-cam would be any different? Even though it's your main revenue stream, it's still controlled by big techs. You may think you are running away from the system, Hamza. But you are not. No one is. The only way out is literally plugging everything out and going out in the woods. Other than that, we may try to dodge as much as possible, but yeah, we'll still get caught.
@@Pbcvl Viber is just a messenger, so yea. I'm in the same situation as you, except everyone in my class sees me as this mysterious figure who doesn't have most popular social medias.
The scary thing is that i don't have to visualise a man trying to end his life. I was that guy at one point. I don't know if i will be completely cleared from those thoughts, but i started self-improvement as a final attempt at getting my life together, or else i will end it
It's horrible to see that people call me "crazy" for limiting my weed intake, which is for medicinal purposes, to once or twice every 2-3 weeks. I felt bad for so many people that my empathy is just drained. I lost interest in social media, interest in too many things, but now I can build up on that emptiness and fill it with more productive activites that will build my future. Thank you Hamza, thank you for telling everyone how precious our time is.

I've been on self improvement for a good 4 months now and this is my third social media detox for the entire month of july (80/20) and I cannot agree more with this video. If you're scrolling now feeling hesitant I am here to tell you to just act and don't think anymore because this has literally been the happiest and healthiest period of my entire life and it's all thanks to Hamza and his teachings. Do The Hard Work, Especially When You Don't Feel Like It...
Not sure if you’ll read this… but THANK YOU HAMZA. I’m being dead serious when I say this. I am TRULY grateful for your help. This self improvement space is the best there is. Your work has legitimately changed my life for the better. I bet there’s plenty of copes people can say to me, but none of that matters because I’m living great and my mental health is better because of it. I don’t get upset at people disagreeing with me or getting angry at me because I’m living a great life and there’s no room for resentment or ill-will. For now on I will help other just as you’re helping us young men. Sure, this is another comment and everything but this is truly life changing. People might call this cringe and all that but I’m living happily and healthily and that’s all I can do. So thank you Hamza. Keep moving forward with helping others. I’m just 17, about to turn 18 this August. I don’t know the meaning of life. Not sure If I’m supposed to right now but I do believe that men should fulfill something that will last longer than themselves. That’s what you’re doing and you should be proud of yourself. All of you should take a moment and be proud of your progress and success. Tell your family and friends you love them and don’t miss a day where you’re down… because there’s more to life than the internet. Enjoy yourself, but don’t get trapped or complacent. Always search for the next best thing and put in the effort, and the work, especially when you don’t feel like it. Much love. -W
I can really feel your anger now. Your experience with social media has definetely opened your eyes, even more than they already were. Glad to see you, as us, evolve as well. Thanks for your message and changing our lives
This video made me actually feel emotion and drive. I already started my journey about a few months ago and I just found this video. Thank you for reminding me that my sacrifices my blood my sweat my tears are not going to waste.
Bro ur fucking right, Right before I started university a few months ago I deleted all my social media bcs I knew it would take up too much time in my life to actually study. And holy shit my life has been great, I dont miss it a single second. I have noticed that I sometimes get glued to youtube shorts since thats the most recent new form of short content, but imagine how much time would be wasted if I still had instagram. I believe that you all have the power to unglue yourselves from these sticky platforms. Enjoy life, enjoy every thing you have, not the superficial things. Keep ur heads high kings!
I never had instagram, snapchat, tiktok and i never plan to. I am so thankful that you've told me that was the right choice and told me there was even more right choices I can and have made. Thank you Hamza for setting me on the right path.
Only thing I’d add is about mindset too. Black pillers will never ever be alpha. Not because of who they are as people but because they lack confidence and hope. They could be the richest strongest men on earth but they completely miss the point of being a human. Just because you lack in certain areas does not mean you should ever give up trying to change for the better and trying to build up your community. You’re never truly a lost cause until you lack hope and lack the ability to listen to those trying to help you
@@jamesh1758 That's true, being black pulled is all about a lack of confidence. It can kill people's drive to improve themselves. It's just all nihilism and depression. It's better to improve oneself.
16:13 bro I can't describe what I felt right now. The part with being a father and teaching your son all these good things hit me really really hard. Let's be honest, what are we doing this all for? Of course, for us. But more importantly, for our children as you mentioned in one of your last videos. My best buddy is becoming a father for the first time and he is as old as me, 22. When he told me the news, I had an instant shift of mind. I found my purpose to be the best father and idol I can possibly for my children and friends. It's so powerful that just thinking about it awakens a giant within me. Thank you bro, you really made a difference🙏
I feel so glad that I don't have a phone, because I can at least stay off social media because I feel so depressed when I see my friends on social media at school and am so glad I don't have that problem.
Hamza I’m 14 years old indian and I’m so grateful for you. You’ve given me hope that my race isn’t the reason why I have no friends and nobody who loves me. Im so thankful you have no idea. I wish you all the best hamza
recently read "taking souls" chapter in Can't Hurt Me and I just smiled hearing you say that we are fighting and winning against these nerds and should feel proud of the progress we're making
16:59 this hits so hard, it sounds more like a brotherly advice. for a youtuber I've never seen someone like Hamza, of all the self improvement videos I've ever seen his videos were the only ones that actually helped me & made me to take a step instead of continuing to have the self doubt & keep on watching more videos like this. Because his advices are the most realistic advices I've heard. Thanks Hamza, just know this, a Young man is grateful to you for putting your hardwork especially when you didn't feel like it.
my biggest enemy in self improvement is my mom. anytime I tell her anything she doesn't believe me, whenever I come back from the gym she talk shit, etc. it hurts but that just one wall I gotta climb to become a man
The sad truth is that mothers go through a lot of emotions when their kids grow up. Usually it’s a part of jealousy because they don’t want to see you “grow up” you’ll mentally grow but once you physically grow she’ll have to remake a new vision of you in her mind and let go of the old vision.
But always do the best for yourself. I let my mom control my feelings when I was younger in a way of she’d come up with 50 reasons I shouldn’t do something and then I’d just be like well fuck I don’t wanna do anything now just stay pushing. My grandpa helped me learn this a lot and reenforced the fact that in life nothing wins but pure dedication. Skills are constantly there to learn and life is a constant cycle of improving you got it man.
And remember money is the root of all evil. Keep it far far away from family and friends. Once you have a little bit you’ll start hearing all these horrible things that can be solved if you help.
A lot of this happened to me in my earlier years of highschool, it was only until my senior year when I burned all my bridges to the past, I realized the people around me were not real friends. This is when my solitude began, all the self improvement, the training, and my pursuit of knowledge made me different for my age. No one takes a step back and looks at the big picture, everyone is so damn controlled by the media and their ego, that they no longer think like people. That's why my solitude has been truly crushing me, I feel alone right now, I realized what I need though. The thing I need is to find people with some fucking soul, people who think for themselves. People who are in control of their lives, the people who realized what everything means. Not people who are fed by their ego, by people who aren't dedicated, those who go against their own word. I'm getting sick, and frustrated, when will my solitude end? I just need to focus and take action, it's all I can really do.
Relatable... My friends are good people who seem unique in the way that they think for themeselves and don't fall under any group or cliche. However all of them are weak. I am a busy man in the pursuit of strength and discipline. Now I have little time for my friends and their bad habits. None of them seem to have the potential to grow or obtain strength. It makes me want to find new friends who are strong, so together we can reforge this world to our will, to our shared vision!
@@fallencrusader2975 exactly man, that's what it's all about. A life of pure progress is beautiful, you begin to realize what living is and what living is not. As for the people you know, they may not be as disciplined, dedicated and as mentally strong as you. They shouldn't be treated as less for it, as you grow you'll find more people that think and act similarly to you, I'm still looking for those people, but my main point for you is to live the life you want. Brotherhood is a great thing, and I wish you the best.
@@Dukdits XD you cracked me up! Yeah I guess its not fair they are my friends and we are good to each other. I may have gave out that vibe but the inverse is true. I have about 5 very close real friends. I have other friends, but we are just friendly. However close friends are what truly matter and seem to be hard to come by when I talk to others. Only problem is I feel as though I am the only one that's ambitious and has responsibilities in my life. I am the only one that takes working out/self improvement seriously. My other friends seem to never want to grow and it makes me feel like they sometimes hold me back. (However as though it may be that way, I am ultimately responsible for my own life) Only 1 of those 5 friends hold equal if not higher ambition than me. The only problem is he is a dreamer not a doer. This man has grand buisness plans on becoming rich but he never takes his first steps toward them. He is 21 and doesn't even have a drivers permit yet, and we don't even live in the city! He then is also terrible with money and never has any money in his savings account because he spends it all. No matter how many times I give him advice, motivate him, and be an actual good friend it seems like talking to a brick wall. I love this man, (no homo) he is very unique and loyal but this man is killing himself by doing nothing with his life. I hope now you understand why I said the things I said given that context. Looking back it wasn't right, however it just aggravates me because I actually care. Makes me wish I could make stronger friends so we can lift each other up and motivate each other to grow.
This is what Naval Ravikant called the 'Modern Struggle'. What Hamza said is real, I can agree as a software engineering student. The guys controlling information are the most powerful folks of our generation, period. Amazing video Hamza 🙌
Man I’m a software engineering student too. It’s got me kind of pressed thinking about it all I’m not going to lie. On one hand I absolutely want to pursue this career because the potential salary is huge in some cases. It’s just sad knowing that you could be assisting in making some of these addictive platforms. No other job besides medicine/healthcare pays as much really (other than businesses obviously), so it’s hard not to want to go for SWE regardless.
Don't care about that shit dude, this kind of thinking makes no sense because to certain exteng every action of anyone could be assisting something evil, it's like butterfly effect.
@@akzholchadan3288 You’re not wrong to be fair. Say some influencer starts their own clothing brand - some poor bastard in China has to make them T-shirts. Say you want to bulk and start caning peanut butter - rainforests get destroyed for the palm oil used in the production of (some) peanut butters. You can’t win.
try to make something useful for society. currently a junior and also aspiring to go into the comp sci realm but i want to work for a startup or smth thats not social media, something useful for society
I love this side of hamza. The aggressive no bs side where he goes and DRILLS in the point without worrying about hurting anyone’s feelings. Keep doing what you’re doing hamza you’re amazing.
im still proud of myself and my friends who supported eachother to not fall victim to this stuff like social media addiction and constant validation from others online
Ever since discovering your content, even though I've undergone immense self improvement through these videos, something has always been nagging at a part of me. Today I think I finally understand what that was. Since discovering your content a few months ago, I spend far less time playing online video games, have squashed social media almost entirely, and have stopped watching porn. I don't go to the gym but I am committed to a callisthenic workout routine, which works very well for me. Needless to say, these videos have changed my life. The catch is, I'm a nerd. I'm studying software and game design at university and I work in software development. I enjoy my studies and love my job, but I couldn't agree more with what you say about social media. What this has helped me realise is that, though I enjoy the problem solving process in software development, I also want to make a product that I am proud of. I could never be proud of a game like league of legends (I wasted more hours than I dare admit on league) or an app like Instagram. I want to make something that improves the lives of the people who use/play/interact with it. I want to make something that someone will go into as one person and come out the other side as a better person. Hamza, your content hasn't just improved my health, you've helped me to understand what I want my job to be.
@@frartenzo I am still studying software development. I am happy to see someone here that understands computers don't have to ruin lives. I will for sure have a look at Notion and Garmin, thanks for letting me know about them.
@@frartenzo mate I’m not here to pull you down, love to see the positivity and encouragement of others❤. I’m a nit picker so I just have to say about orthodontics. Don’t know if you’ve heard of mewing or the Dr. Mews but I’d just suggest you do a little dive into what their saying and make your mind up. Personally I’m still also unsure as I’ve had orthodontic treatment myself and it has improved my teeth drastically. Just had to spread a little message for them. Hope you understand where I’m coming from. All the best mate ❤
Mate your literally the perfect person to be doing that kind of job. It’s crazy that we’ve never seen each other but through the internet and the kind of content we’re consuming I’m confident that you have the right mindset. Having a skill set such as coding and developing software is so powerful in todays world. I myself am studying IT at A level in the uk and hopefully one day will be working in that field although who can say for certain. Without dragging on mate please pursue it if it makes you happy because the world needs more people who want to use this technology to benefit mankind instead of increasing profit margins for robo Mark Cuckerberg. Wish you all the best mate ❤❤❤
mental health's the KEY for success in any category of life guys, start grinding mental health XP NOW!! To anyone reading this GL on your self improvement 💪🏽💪🏽
Hi hamza. I just wanted to really deeply thank you for all that you're doing. I am 15 years old and since I started watching your videos I really feel like reducing the time I spent on social media and video games has reduced so much. Lately I've been getting a lot more sleep, uninstalled social media like instagram and tiktok, and started to get many good habits instead. You don't even know how much you are helping me in this journey. Thank you!!!
I'm in tears, mr hamza, I'm 19, 3 weeks ago my partner broke up with me. It was the hardest and painful times of my life. I was simping and needy with her, I was not productive, as before. Thank you for saving me from depression, anxiety, sex addiction, unable to communicate, not being assertive and also going sucide. THANKS YOU FOR RESURRECTING ME INTO A NEW MAN, THE ADONIS FIGURE. Now, many girls and strangers want to hangout or be with with me. I became more articulate, aware, assertive and shred. I became so stoic and aware during situation. I became more mentally healthy, and physical healthy to your content. Goal oriented or passion driven. Thank you thank you. To for the message. YOU ARE THE GREATEST FATHER FIGURE.
It is truly saddening what modern society has done I was blind to it like Many teens after discovering this channel I decided to turn my life around for the past couple days I’ve been working out and reading trying to stay off my phone as much as possible and it sounds crazy but I am happier than I’ve been in a long time I hope videos like these can reach the majority of our generation because then our world can turn from one of fear Instant gratification and mental illness into a World of Enlightenment self-improvement improvement and strong mental health The road ahead for me will be long and arduous but in time I will be a happy and fulfilled human.
10:56 such a great quote I’d thought I’d point out about friendship and valuing loyalty “If there was an important conversation, if there was an important person that you valued, you would have each other’s phone numbers. If they don’t have your phone number or if you don’t have theirs, that conversation was never important.”
The part where you said “you’ll be sad when you see everyone else consumed” fucking hit me. I only started my journey this past Monday but I already feel so much better. I was at a pool yesterday having the most fun I’ve ever had at a pool just enjoying the normal things. Looking around and seeing everyone of my family member on there phones instead of enjoying the pool made me honestly sad. Keep going boys
You are the single best influence I’ve had since getting hooked on modern addictions. I already quit them all and got now get my brother off of it…thank you Hamza
We are playing the game which is being played against us. We should cherish any progress we make. Sad world but as soon as we realize that and realize we can fight back and still improve despite everything, we can find strength and grind. We're all gonna make it brahs 💪
After reading a little from Russel Brunson, and now watching Hamza again, I noticed how much influence he has taken from the „Attractive Character“ Concept. He uses the exact „Leader Personality“ described by Brunson (Which is to teach people what you have already done and showing them „The Way“) He uses a backstory, as in that he was a „Jeffrey“ himself (to become relatable) He admits weaknesses and faults (That he is susceptible to social medias manipulation himself. Again to become more relatable) And he uses the „Us vs. Them“ Framework, also described by Russel Brunson (Us vs. Nerds, Aspiring Adonises vs. Jeffreys etc.) This isn’t meant as criticism, I just find it fascinating.
I realized this 2 weeks ago and i deleted tiktok and any sort of socialmedia except youtube because of hamza. I don't really have a video gaming addiction even though i play games sometimes. My corn addiction is a bit bad but i'm trying to stop that too. I really love u Hamza. Ur a real homie for real.
05:45 was legendary to hear. I'm a 19 year old boy and have quit going on porn sites for over half a year and going strong. I've Cut down significantly on social media usage too. The peace of standing in the direct sunset light knowing how much progress you've made, and the integrity and strength of your mind, is truly amazing. Keep going strong bois👍🏽. Also, I'd recommend looking into some Buddhist philosophy.
I am a little younger than you, but I am lucky to have never got into porn. I’ve cut down all social media besides UA-cam videos occasionally and Snapchat to message my friends.
I love your videos Hamza. You made me make a dopamine detox for 1 week, starting mewing and giving motivation every time I watch you. I now walk more outside and stop being a jeffrey that much. So thx :) !
I have stopped using social media(except UA-cam) for the most part and completely given up video games but porn is something I have struggled with for a very long time. It's only recently that I have made some progress and one tip that really helped me was to visualize the negative consequences of abusing these things, which made me almost repulsed by them. I know I still have a long way to go but I am proud of the progress I've made and anyone who is making progress each day, no matter how small should be proud of themselves aswell.
Wow Hamza. This video was fucking powerful. You’re the reason why 1000s of men are still breathing. You give so many men hope in a such a hopeless society. Thank you for everything
Im so glad of myself for deleting tiktok, instagram, and discord, now i've started to make excercise and to meditate, also i've started to have better habits, all of that for this videos.
About the gambling analogy, a study using monkies showed that you get more dopamine upon pulling the lever rather than receiving or not getting the reward (which I believe was a juice box for the monkies), which is exactly why ite so addictive.
Hamza message is so impactful in everyone's life who's hopeless in life, especially for those young men. The system of social media is so toxic indeed that surely manipulates bad in your life, those normalization of sexuality videos in Facebook is so F up. My advice is stay strong and always grind by yourself bro! We can do it!
Bro, I told everyone exactly this about 9 years ago when I deleted all my socials.. no one understood it back then. Hopefully you'll reach enough men who are able to escape the trap
0:50 I once had a kid in my class named Gerrit ( I come from the Netherlands) I would say this kid was addicted to memes, of course I can not know, but when he was happy and he would run in that anime style you know. He was a smart kid, highly intellectual, but he did not have friends, he was just terrible at social interactions, he would bully people who would want to become friends with him, he would say weird shit, and of course he would talk about anime, and always wear a hoodie. The team leader (of the teachers) came one time after my gymnastic lessons to talk about something. He made the people most close to Gerrit stay, and the rest could go. He said Gerrit came crying into his office saying that he did not have any friends. The team leader requested more people to talk to him. Naturally when you come crying and begging about something people should not like you and think lowly of you, which was the case now, only one person was shocked by the news and did something about it. The rest would say it is his own problem. Later another after another gymnastic lessons the team leader came again, saying that the kid tried to commit suicide, it failed, afterward the kid did nothing for school, he had to redo 2 classes which means you will be kicked out of the school. That is the last I heard from him
I'm one of those software engineers but not for social media, but for video games, and robotics so I'm able to keep me and all other strong men out there entertained while working on my gains and mentality. Love this channel!!!!
@@idreeskhan8885 the same nerds that hamza described except without the exploitative tendencies and cynical view on life. The nerds that are more concerned about positive intellectual gains💪🧠
@@KAIZENTECHNOLOGIES I dont watch his videos I sometimes come to be amused by his loser fanboys. As for your point of positive intellectual gains lmao only if you are deluded enough to have so much faith in the awful education system. Plus capitalism may try to suppress any advancement or simply use it for profit.
Honestly, a geek who's superior at something intellectually is enough. Yes being strong physically is good too. Aim something like Marcus Aurelius who was both a jock and a geek.
This is 100% true... My friends and I used to be the straight A, studying all the time, typical nerds in high school. Now a couple of years later, a lot of us are going to the gym, dating high quality women, making money, and finding success in life.
I am a software developer myself and I am trying to learn UX & UI design as a part of my self-improvement journey. Everything that Hamza says is true. A couple of points that I've already came across by are: 1. You are nothing but a user to the company, just another statistic. They even encourage designers to make the homescreen so friendly as possible that you get dopamine from getting on the landing page. 2. They are designing the apps so that you that you get the feeling you need to sign-up/join them by placing specific buttons in corners, the middle of the screen. They even make the things round because it gets your attention and it gives you the urge to click it. The more I get into it, the darker it becomes. I hope that after I graduate I can get a normal job and maybe fix the problems with the modern day apps.
I've been doing only upper body calisthenics because for some reason, head motion causes me headaches, so I don't do squats. Yesterday I started a different lower body workout plan of walking a 2 mile loop every day. Today's my 2nd day I've done it. Standing calf raises cause far less of a headache, so I added that today, 1 set before walking
Today I'm thankful that God showed me this guy on UA-cam few months ago. His name is Hamza. And seriously, my life changed ever since I started watching you. I started learning foreign languages, reading, journaling, working out and started seeing progress, started praying more, reading Kur'an, getting closer to God and being a better person. Then sleeping more and deleting Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook, eating more healthy foods, quitting sugar except fruits. I'm getting closer to Adonisssssssssssss and I'm so thankful. I don't say this is because of me, or Hamza. God or universal consciousness, however you call it, it is raising healthy strong men and Hamza is promoting it. It works through Hamza and it's affecting all of us, cult members lol. We are getting strong. Thank God. Let's take the responsibility to make the world a better place. Peace and blessings on all of you who are reading this.
Hamza i got to thank you man. Its been a few months since i have started this journey and im seeing it. Im happier, ive connected more with my brother, im disgusted with my past actions and am having it easier to connect with people nowadays. Thank you man you’ve really helped
a few days before watching this video i deleted instagram, snapchat, tiktok, all these kinds of apps and it really works because now i spent more time focusing on school and work. this video is just confirming why i deleted it. i only use whatsapp and youtube now and my screentime has reduced by 3 or 4 hours.
I used to spend 8+ hours on those 3 addictions (on non school days otherwise like 4+) and now I spend less than an hour and that hour is watching self improvement videos from you. Thank you so much for helping me out of the rabbit hole of the internet
Yesterday I got frustrated and deleted all my social media except UA-cam to watch you and am holding back from video games Today I have a total of 3 hours on my phone and it's 8 pm The free time I have today, I didn't have yesterday. I spend on homework educating myself by watching your videos about psychology and body transformation and started meditation, I started reading "The power of now" , brushed my teeth after every meal not just breakfast and held back from junk food, going to sleep in about half an hour cus I wake up at 6:30 to get 10h Thank you and Andrew for opening my eyes, for telling me my life is going nowhere right into my eyes and showing me the way
What he said at the beginning is literally true. One of my highschool classmates committed suicide barely a year after finishing high school, and we never knew why. And one of my classmates who became a good friend in university got depressed and started having suicidal thoughts. We literally had to come through for him and advise him to just drop out of uni and take a break.
I’m glad I watched this, this feels like I’m sitting down with my dad and getting a one sided lecture, as much as I hate it and just wanna get out, I can’t stop listening cause everything they are saying is completely right and it does get me a perspective change💙 much love dawg
As men, and more generally as full grown adults, it is ridiculous to let so called social medias destroy your mental health, makes you addict, or whatever. These guys could make the platform as addictive as they want, it is still just a screen and useless informations. You can easily switch them off. (I am not talking about kids and teens, though.) But as a man, or as a woman, I am sorry but you have no excuses. Social medias are ridiculous and aren't addictive at all, at least when your IQ is above average. I find online dating apps to be much more dangerous and pernicious, because although it is just a screen that you can switch off, it has affected the whole dating world. So even if you are not directly using them, the fact that roughly 40% of young folks are using them makes meeting new people in real life more difficult than in our grandparents prime years.
Hamza has been one of the few people that honestly made me realize how brainwashed we've been now and days, I've would've never thought this was the reality and I would've stayed being some lazy ignorant person but now me and other young men can step out and become the men we are supposed to be, I want to thank you for the inspiration you have given me and others❤💪

This very video has changed my entire perspective about the world, in just 20 minutes I was experiencing so, so many emotions. Thank you for opening my eyes.
13:53 Video games are literally what got me the amazing friends I have today, I honestly have no idea what I would be doing if I hadn't ever met them through it. Video games are the way we connect with each other and have of all things, they have brought the most joy into my life.
bro I literally love you. You helped me through so much. Before I was watching you I was really Jeffrey but now thanks to you I've got better. Love you bro keep the mentality going. (sorry if i misspelled something)
this video hit me hard, before this video, I was going to be a software developer and I was contemplating leaving this track. when I saw this video, it made me think about the moral implications of working for these companies.
Almost 1 month in on my self improvement journey, and gotta tell you: it feels great. Ive made some goals, even conquered some (most of the goals Ive set are for longer terms), and it just keeps getting better with each day. I was also able to help my parents more, and once I return to dorm and start my next semester, I will encourage my roommate for self-improvement. :D
13:17 an emotional train hit me where it hurts after you said all that. the girl i'm supposed to be with is now on social media addicted to validation from guys on there. i fell victim of this as well, and the addiction took me away from the girl i'm supposed to be with as well. you're a very smart man hamza, and you're definitely on the something when you say this. hearing that really got me thinking and realizing the power of social media stealing a life from everyone. a life of falling in love and living happy, i'm definitely going to abandon my instagram account now.
delete it instead of leaving it
@@karatewithelian9014 If she's addicted to validation she's not worth it anyhow

Yeah he's the only youtuber who will admit he is lying to us. Honestly I respect him for it.

I've seen that meme too
Alpha males are just biologically superior in almost all traits and IQ is also one of them. Their mind is just too powerful
that's so warpy i dont know why lmao
Guys, remember, UA-cam is also (largely) a social media. We may justify to ourselves that we use it to seek educational content, which I can't deny, might be the initial intention we have. But these nerds, like Hamza said, already got us by the balls. You and I might spend our time watching these self-improvement videos and actually take action. But there will always be that addicted, brainwashed part of us that will ge sucked into the rabbit hole of the algorithm. I want to make you aware of this, as self-awareness is one of, if not the most important aspect of making sustainable progress. Take care and God be with you ^^
Well said bro
I am addicted to UA-cam :(
Years ago that would be a permanent student. Never leave school and make a living.
Thank you, my phone time shrunk from 9h on average to maximum 3h in last month. Now trying to get off all socials, if not needed
@@MichalWi3cek really happy for you bro keep it up! Hopefully I can do same too soon!

Noticed some muscle gains here and there, been socializing and my overall sleep quality is now amazing.

Dude, I'm a software developer and I've seen the industry from the inside. Vast majority of "software developers" have no idea what they are doing and are not smart of alpha in any shape or form. They just do what they are told.
He's talking about the top select few who are responsible for developing the algorithms and tactics to keep us hooked on social media.
@@aptus716 it's not fucking programmers who come up with that shit
Programmers/developers literally JUST do what they are told to do, they just implement shit they are told go implement
Yeah honestly Hamza is a good guy and all but its not necessarily the developers who come up with the IDEAS per say. Someone higher up makes those types of calls, while the developer team gets to work implementing it.
@@aptus716 no one knows how those algorithms work. They are machine learning algorithms, so humans only provide a basic setup heuristic, and then the machine does all the real work of determining our preferences in very mysterious ways

@@rasheemthebestfirstone3274 Hamza lashing out at us helps me reminded that how important this stuff is
I deleted instgram before discovering Hamza in the beginning of 2021. And I say it was one ot the best decision of my life. Being a teen without ig in this time is very weird to many people. The amount of peace I found after that was fucking incredible!
I got to know everything from the Netflix documentary The social dilemma and knowing how bad it is I gave up on ig.
@@souryaroy4293 yeah the social dilemma I watched that one as well
Hamza I’m really grateful that you help all of us young men on our journey from the Jeffrey to Adonis transformation and I really hope you keep on doing this it helps me alot and since I’m watching you I got my life together I meditate which really helps me concentrating in school and I work out and I’m just feeling so good right now and I couldn’t believe that I were in such a bad state before I were depressed and on the down of my life but now I’m feeling so much better and I just wanted to thank you (if my English isn’t that good I’m sorry I speak German normally)
I’m sometimes bullied for being a nerd and sometimes people think it’s cool. I feel like it’s a thing that constantly switches between “being a nerd is lame” and “being a nerd is cool now”.
I just enjoy spending my time learning new things, I do programming in several languages, math and 3D graphics as hobby.
Most of my hobbies and work take place behind a computer although I workout, walk and do some other activities to keep myself strong and fit.

This alone makes you a giga chad
You dodged a bullet, keep living life bro.
Your not a weirdo, you are a legend gigachad
Same here, didnt have Snapchat Instagram and tiktok ever, and my class calls me weird
i used to be like this until 2020
I do think intelligence has a massive role on your “Chad” status. Since no one really like the massive meathead who just give off the brawn>brain vibe. I guess that’s why having a balance is extremely important to be a high value man.
1stmans straight seven system is relevant in today's world
Literally admit to is being a game of luck/genes by saying that lmao redpill retards
A chad is the brains and the brawn now
You should read the art of manliness book. Brawns are not only a sex symbol, they are a mark of your physical capanility to do hard tasks and protective ability. Only muscles don't suffice, you need to learn fighting (in proper spirit, very important. It's easy to go in the animal route.) , Swim, and work.
Chad meme gives massive meathead vibes though, a dude who has no style, blonde, tanned, wears ugly colors that don't fit together and walks like a gorilla. Not stylish, smart and definitely not independent because his value depends on betas. He can't exist outside of that stupid hierarchy. I have never understood why people use that term sincerely, it has always been sarcastic for me, some obnoxious idiot who doesn't have a mind of his own but is popular because the masses praise mediocrity. And definitely herd follower.
And then again.. i'm commenting on a video made by you on a platform of those 'nerds'. Discord, UA-cam, all of that.. what? You thought UA-cam would be any different? Even though it's your main revenue stream, it's still controlled by big techs. You may think you are running away from the system, Hamza. But you are not. No one is.
The only way out is literally plugging everything out and going out in the woods. Other than that, we may try to dodge as much as possible, but yeah, we'll still get caught.

It's horrible to see that people call me "crazy" for limiting my weed intake, which is for medicinal purposes, to once or twice every 2-3 weeks. I felt bad for so many people that my empathy is just drained.

I've been on self improvement for a good 4 months now and this is my third social media detox for the entire month of july (80/20) and I cannot agree more with this video. If you're scrolling now feeling hesitant I am here to tell you to just act and don't think anymore because this has literally been the happiest and healthiest period of my entire life and it's all thanks to Hamza and his teachings. Do The Hard Work, Especially When You Don't Feel Like It...
Not sure if you’ll read this… but THANK YOU HAMZA. I’m being dead serious when I say this. I am TRULY grateful for your help. This self improvement space is the best there is. Your work has legitimately changed my life for the better. I bet there’s plenty of copes people can say to me, but none of that matters because I’m living great and my mental health is better because of it. I don’t get upset at people disagreeing with me or getting angry at me because I’m living a great life and there’s no room for resentment or ill-will. For now on I will help other just as you’re helping us young men. Sure, this is another comment and everything but this is truly life changing. People might call this cringe and all that but I’m living happily and healthily and that’s all I can do.
So thank you Hamza. Keep moving forward with helping others. I’m just 17, about to turn 18 this August. I don’t know the meaning of life. Not sure If I’m supposed to right now but I do believe that men should fulfill something that will last longer than themselves. That’s what you’re doing and you should be proud of yourself. All of you should take a moment and be proud of your progress and success. Tell your family and friends you love them and don’t miss a day where you’re down… because there’s more to life than the internet. Enjoy yourself, but don’t get trapped or complacent. Always search for the next best thing and put in the effort, and the work, especially when you don’t feel like it.
Much love.

This video made me actually feel emotion and drive. I already started my journey about a few months ago and I just found this video. Thank you for reminding me that my sacrifices my blood my sweat my tears are not going to waste.
Bro ur fucking right, Right before I started university a few months ago I deleted all my social media bcs I knew it would take up too much time in my life to actually study. And holy shit my life has been great, I dont miss it a single second. I have noticed that I sometimes get glued to youtube shorts since thats the most recent new form of short content, but imagine how much time would be wasted if I still had instagram. I believe that you all have the power to unglue yourselves from these sticky platforms. Enjoy life, enjoy every thing you have, not the superficial things. Keep ur heads high kings!
I never had instagram, snapchat, tiktok and i never plan to. I am so thankful that you've told me that was the right choice and told me there was even more right choices I can and have made. Thank you Hamza for setting me on the right path.

Only thing I’d add is about mindset too. Black pillers will never ever be alpha. Not because of who they are as people but because they lack confidence and hope. They could be the richest strongest men on earth but they completely miss the point of being a human. Just because you lack in certain areas does not mean you should ever give up trying to change for the better and trying to build up your community. You’re never truly a lost cause until you lack hope and lack the ability to listen to those trying to help you
@@jamesh1758 That's true, being black pulled is all about a lack of confidence. It can kill people's drive to improve themselves. It's just all nihilism and depression. It's better to improve oneself.

16:13 bro I can't describe what I felt right now. The part with being a father and teaching your son all these good things hit me really really hard. Let's be honest, what are we doing this all for? Of course, for us. But more importantly, for our children as you mentioned in one of your last videos. My best buddy is becoming a father for the first time and he is as old as me, 22. When he told me the news, I had an instant shift of mind. I found my purpose to be the best father and idol I can possibly for my children and friends. It's so powerful that just thinking about it awakens a giant within me. Thank you bro, you really made a difference🙏
I feel so glad that I don't have a phone, because I can at least stay off social media because I feel so depressed when I see my friends on social media at school and am so glad I don't have that problem.

16:59 this hits so hard, it sounds more like a brotherly advice. for a youtuber I've never seen someone like Hamza, of all the self improvement videos I've ever seen his videos were the only ones that actually helped me & made me to take a step instead of continuing to have the self doubt & keep on watching more videos like this. Because his advices are the most realistic advices I've heard. Thanks Hamza, just know this, a Young man is grateful to you for putting your hardwork especially when you didn't feel like it.
my biggest enemy in self improvement is my mom. anytime I tell her anything she doesn't believe me, whenever I come back from the gym she talk shit, etc. it hurts but that just one wall I gotta climb to become a man
your mom is other obstacle just skip it
It's ok bro all moms are like that , they don't know about the problems and addictions we are facing today , try to convince her calmly .
The sad truth is that mothers go through a lot of emotions when their kids grow up. Usually it’s a part of jealousy because they don’t want to see you “grow up” you’ll mentally grow but once you physically grow she’ll have to remake a new vision of you in her mind and let go of the old vision.
But always do the best for yourself. I let my mom control my feelings when I was younger in a way of she’d come up with 50 reasons I shouldn’t do something and then I’d just be like well fuck I don’t wanna do anything now just stay pushing. My grandpa helped me learn this a lot and reenforced the fact that in life nothing wins but pure dedication. Skills are constantly there to learn and life is a constant cycle of improving you got it man.
And remember money is the root of all evil. Keep it far far away from family and friends. Once you have a little bit you’ll start hearing all these horrible things that can be solved if you help.
im glad hamza pulled me out of this before any of this could take effect
A lot of this happened to me in my earlier years of highschool, it was only until my senior year when I burned all my bridges to the past, I realized the people around me were not real friends. This is when my solitude began, all the self improvement, the training, and my pursuit of knowledge made me different for my age. No one takes a step back and looks at the big picture, everyone is so damn controlled by the media and their ego, that they no longer think like people. That's why my solitude has been truly crushing me, I feel alone right now, I realized what I need though. The thing I need is to find people with some fucking soul, people who think for themselves. People who are in control of their lives, the people who realized what everything means. Not people who are fed by their ego, by people who aren't dedicated, those who go against their own word. I'm getting sick, and frustrated, when will my solitude end? I just need to focus and take action, it's all I can really do.
Relatable...
My friends are good people who seem unique in the way that they think for themeselves and don't fall under any group or cliche.
However all of them are weak. I am a busy man in the pursuit of strength and discipline. Now I have little time for my friends and their bad habits. None of them seem to have the potential to grow or obtain strength.
It makes me want to find new friends who are strong, so together we can reforge this world to our will, to our shared vision!
@@fallencrusader2975 exactly man, that's what it's all about. A life of pure progress is beautiful, you begin to realize what living is and what living is not. As for the people you know, they may not be as disciplined, dedicated and as mentally strong as you. They shouldn't be treated as less for it, as you grow you'll find more people that think and act similarly to you, I'm still looking for those people, but my main point for you is to live the life you want. Brotherhood is a great thing, and I wish you the best.
I'm so lonely i have fake friends these ppl are weak bro's calm down you ain't batman💀
@@Dukdits XD you cracked me up!
Yeah I guess its not fair they are my friends and we are good to each other. I may have gave out that vibe but the inverse is true.
I have about 5 very close real friends. I have other friends, but we are just friendly. However close friends are what truly matter and seem to be hard to come by when I talk to others.
Only problem is I feel as though I am the only one that's ambitious and has responsibilities in my life. I am the only one that takes working out/self improvement seriously.
My other friends seem to never want to grow and it makes me feel like they sometimes hold me back. (However as though it may be that way, I am ultimately responsible for my own life)
Only 1 of those 5 friends hold equal if not higher ambition than me. The only problem is he is a dreamer not a doer. This man has grand buisness plans on becoming rich but he never takes his first steps toward them. He is 21 and doesn't even have a drivers permit yet, and we don't even live in the city! He then is also terrible with money and never has any money in his savings account because he spends it all.
No matter how many times I give him advice, motivate him, and be an actual good friend it seems like talking to a brick wall. I love this man, (no homo) he is very unique and loyal but this man is killing himself by doing nothing with his life.
I hope now you understand why I said the things I said given that context. Looking back it wasn't right, however it just aggravates me because I actually care.
Makes me wish I could make stronger friends so we can lift each other up and motivate each other to grow.
This is what Naval Ravikant called the 'Modern Struggle'. What Hamza said is real, I can agree as a software engineering student. The guys controlling information are the most powerful folks of our generation, period. Amazing video Hamza 🙌
Man I’m a software engineering student too. It’s got me kind of pressed thinking about it all I’m not going to lie. On one hand I absolutely want to pursue this career because the potential salary is huge in some cases. It’s just sad knowing that you could be assisting in making some of these addictive platforms. No other job besides medicine/healthcare pays as much really (other than businesses obviously), so it’s hard not to want to go for SWE regardless.
Don't care about that shit dude, this kind of thinking makes no sense because to certain exteng every action of anyone could be assisting something evil, it's like butterfly effect.
@@akzholchadan3288 You’re not wrong to be fair. Say some influencer starts their own clothing brand - some poor bastard in China has to make them T-shirts. Say you want to bulk and start caning peanut butter - rainforests get destroyed for the palm oil used in the production of (some) peanut butters. You can’t win.
try to make something useful for society. currently a junior and also aspiring to go into the comp sci realm but i want to work for a startup or smth thats not social media, something useful for society
I love this side of hamza. The aggressive no bs side where he goes and DRILLS in the point without worrying about hurting anyone’s feelings. Keep doing what you’re doing hamza you’re amazing.
im still proud of myself and my friends who supported eachother to not fall victim to this stuff like social media addiction and constant validation from others online
Instagram: *Installs itself on adonis' phone*
Geoffrey: "I can't believe that shredded guy gave me his phone. Oh well. More dopamine for me."
Ever since discovering your content, even though I've undergone immense self improvement through these videos, something has always been nagging at a part of me. Today I think I finally understand what that was.
Since discovering your content a few months ago, I spend far less time playing online video games, have squashed social media almost entirely, and have stopped watching porn. I don't go to the gym but I am committed to a callisthenic workout routine, which works very well for me. Needless to say, these videos have changed my life.
The catch is, I'm a nerd. I'm studying software and game design at university and I work in software development. I enjoy my studies and love my job, but I couldn't agree more with what you say about social media. What this has helped me realise is that, though I enjoy the problem solving process in software development, I also want to make a product that I am proud of. I could never be proud of a game like league of legends (I wasted more hours than I dare admit on league) or an app like Instagram. I want to make something that improves the lives of the people who use/play/interact with it. I want to make something that someone will go into as one person and come out the other side as a better person.
Hamza, your content hasn't just improved my health, you've helped me to understand what I want my job to be.
Go off mate
Hollow knight pfp? No problem in gaming for a little while if you can control yourself!
@@frartenzo I am still studying software development. I am happy to see someone here that understands computers don't have to ruin lives. I will for sure have a look at Notion and Garmin, thanks for letting me know about them.
@@frartenzo mate I’m not here to pull you down, love to see the positivity and encouragement of others❤. I’m a nit picker so I just have to say about orthodontics. Don’t know if you’ve heard of mewing or the Dr. Mews but I’d just suggest you do a little dive into what their saying and make your mind up. Personally I’m still also unsure as I’ve had orthodontic treatment myself and it has improved my teeth drastically. Just had to spread a little message for them. Hope you understand where I’m coming from. All the best mate ❤
Mate your literally the perfect person to be doing that kind of job. It’s crazy that we’ve never seen each other but through the internet and the kind of content we’re consuming I’m confident that you have the right mindset. Having a skill set such as coding and developing software is so powerful in todays world. I myself am studying IT at A level in the uk and hopefully one day will be working in that field although who can say for certain. Without dragging on mate please pursue it if it makes you happy because the world needs more people who want to use this technology to benefit mankind instead of increasing profit margins for robo Mark Cuckerberg. Wish you all the best mate ❤❤❤
Finding this guy was one of the best things that happened to me.
Thank You Hamza.
mental health's the KEY for success in any category of life guys, start grinding mental health XP NOW!! To anyone reading this GL on your self improvement 💪🏽💪🏽
Hi hamza. I just wanted to really deeply thank you for all that you're doing. I am 15 years old and since I started watching your videos I really feel like reducing the time I spent on social media and video games has reduced so much. Lately I've been getting a lot more sleep, uninstalled social media like instagram and tiktok, and started to get many good habits instead. You don't even know how much you are helping me in this journey. Thank you!!!
I'm in tears, mr hamza, I'm 19, 3 weeks ago my partner broke up with me. It was the hardest and painful times of my life. I was simping and needy with her, I was not productive, as before. Thank you for saving me from depression, anxiety, sex addiction, unable to communicate, not being assertive and also going sucide. THANKS YOU FOR RESURRECTING ME INTO A NEW MAN, THE ADONIS FIGURE. Now, many girls and strangers want to hangout or be with with me. I became more articulate, aware, assertive and shred. I became so stoic and aware during situation. I became more mentally healthy, and physical healthy to your content. Goal oriented or passion driven. Thank you thank you. To for the message. YOU ARE THE GREATEST FATHER FIGURE.
It is truly saddening what modern society has done I was blind to it like Many teens after discovering this channel I decided to turn my life around for the past couple days I’ve been working out and reading trying to stay off my phone as much as possible and it sounds crazy but I am happier than I’ve been in a long time I hope videos like these can reach the majority of our generation because then our world can turn from one of fear Instant gratification and mental illness into a World of Enlightenment self-improvement improvement and strong mental health The road ahead for me will be long and arduous but in time I will be a happy and fulfilled human.
What a chad
proud to see you growing this much
as a hunchback, depressed, computer nerd myself, I agree with this
10:56 such a great quote I’d thought I’d point out about friendship and valuing loyalty
“If there was an important conversation, if there was an important person that you valued, you would have each other’s phone numbers.
If they don’t have your phone number or if you don’t have theirs, that conversation was never important.”
The part where you said “you’ll be sad when you see everyone else consumed” fucking hit me. I only started my journey this past Monday but I already feel so much better. I was at a pool yesterday having the most fun I’ve ever had at a pool just enjoying the normal things. Looking around and seeing everyone of my family member on there phones instead of enjoying the pool made me honestly sad. Keep going boys
You are the single best influence I’ve had since getting hooked on modern addictions. I already quit them all and got now get my brother off of it…thank you Hamza
I fucking deleted the apps when I'm already watching it! Wtf.
Remember that change doesn't have to be immediate. Take time and figure your shit out and then strike, everyone moves at different paces.
We are playing the game which is being played against us. We should cherish any progress we make. Sad world but as soon as we realize that and realize we can fight back and still improve despite everything, we can find strength and grind. We're all gonna make it brahs 💪
I got literal chills down my spine when I heard and thought about how powerful the software creators and their platforms are
After reading a little from Russel Brunson, and now watching Hamza again, I noticed how much influence he has taken from the „Attractive Character“ Concept.
He uses the exact „Leader Personality“ described by Brunson (Which is to teach people what you have already done and showing them „The Way“)
He uses a backstory, as in that he was a „Jeffrey“ himself (to become relatable)
He admits weaknesses and faults (That he is susceptible to social medias manipulation himself. Again to become more relatable)
And he uses the „Us vs. Them“ Framework, also described by Russel Brunson (Us vs. Nerds, Aspiring Adonises vs. Jeffreys etc.)
This isn’t meant as criticism, I just find it fascinating.
I realized this 2 weeks ago and i deleted tiktok and any sort of socialmedia except youtube because of hamza. I don't really have a video gaming addiction even though i play games sometimes. My corn addiction is a bit bad but i'm trying to stop that too. I really love u Hamza. Ur a real homie for real.
05:45 was legendary to hear. I'm a 19 year old boy and have quit going on porn sites for over half a year and going strong. I've Cut down significantly on social media usage too. The peace of standing in the direct sunset light knowing how much progress you've made, and the integrity and strength of your mind, is truly amazing. Keep going strong bois👍🏽. Also, I'd recommend looking into some Buddhist philosophy.
I am a little younger than you, but I am lucky to have never got into porn. I’ve cut down all social media besides UA-cam videos occasionally and Snapchat to message my friends.
I love your videos Hamza. You made me make a dopamine detox for 1 week, starting mewing and giving motivation every time I watch you. I now walk more outside and stop being a jeffrey that much.
So thx :) !
Thank yourself also bruh
Yeah we
I have stopped using social media(except UA-cam) for the most part and completely given up video games but porn is something I have struggled with for a very long time. It's only recently that I have made some progress and one tip that really helped me was to visualize the negative consequences of abusing these things, which made me almost repulsed by them. I know I still have a long way to go but I am proud of the progress I've made and anyone who is making progress each day, no matter how small should be proud of themselves aswell.
I am in these exact shoes, crazy
I'd rather stop porn but still play videogames every once in a while
Wow Hamza. This video was fucking powerful. You’re the reason why 1000s of men are still breathing. You give so many men hope in a such a hopeless society. Thank you for everything
Im so glad of myself for deleting tiktok, instagram, and discord, now i've started to make excercise and to meditate, also i've started to have better habits, all of that for this videos.
About the gambling analogy, a study using monkies showed that you get more dopamine upon pulling the lever rather than receiving or not getting the reward (which I believe was a juice box for the monkies), which is exactly why ite so addictive.
This is the best guy I have ever seen. I love you Hamza. Thank you for helping us on this journey to become our the greatest selves.
Hamza message is so impactful in everyone's life who's hopeless in life, especially for those young men. The system of social media is so toxic indeed that surely manipulates bad in your life, those normalization of sexuality videos in Facebook is so F up. My advice is stay strong and always grind by yourself bro! We can do it!
Bro, I told everyone exactly this about 9 years ago when I deleted all my socials.. no one understood it back then. Hopefully you'll reach enough men who are able to escape the trap
9 years 😲😲
you have a social. you're commenting using it.
Damn, son. You were smart! I deleted Twitter in 2020.

I once had a kid in my class named Gerrit ( I come from the Netherlands) I would say this kid was addicted to memes, of course I can not know, but when he was happy and he would run in that anime style you know. He was a smart kid, highly intellectual, but he did not have friends, he was just terrible at social interactions, he would bully people who would want to become friends with him, he would say weird shit, and of course he would talk about anime, and always wear a hoodie. The team leader (of the teachers) came one time after my gymnastic lessons to talk about something. He made the people most close to Gerrit stay, and the rest could go. He said Gerrit came crying into his office saying that he did not have any friends. The team leader requested more people to talk to him. Naturally when you come crying and begging about something people should not like you and think lowly of you, which was the case now, only one person was shocked by the news and did something about it. The rest would say it is his own problem. Later another after another gymnastic lessons the team leader came again, saying that the kid tried to commit suicide, it failed, afterward the kid did nothing for school, he had to redo 2 classes which means you will be kicked out of the school. That is the last I heard from him
I'm one of those software engineers but not for social media, but for video games, and robotics so I'm able to keep me and all other strong men out there entertained while working on my gains and mentality. Love this channel!!!!
I've been thinking about this lately. Imagine being a nerd (in the positive way) and an adonis. You'd literally be a God amongst men.
Im a software engineer and I lift weights 6 days a week, I can't help it but I feel superior to everyone else
What does a nerd in a good way mean?
@@idreeskhan8885 the same nerds that hamza described except without the exploitative tendencies and cynical view on life. The nerds that are more concerned about positive intellectual gains💪🧠
@@TheMemin247 I won't lie, I'm starting to feel the same way now that I'm embracing my nerd side
@@KAIZENTECHNOLOGIES I dont watch his videos I sometimes come to be amused by his loser fanboys. As for your point of positive intellectual gains lmao only if you are deluded enough to have so much faith in the awful education system. Plus capitalism may try to suppress any advancement or simply use it for profit.
Honestly, a geek who's superior at something intellectually is enough. Yes being strong physically is good too. Aim something like Marcus Aurelius who was both a jock and a geek.
Socrates said, too much of scholarship makes men effeminate and too much physical culture makes them brute .
Im joining your cult RIGHT NOW. I just deleted all my social media apps and shit
Gonna pick up the dumbells after 2 years
The effort, dedication and potency you lay in your words are abolutely amazing. Thanks Hamza, u a real one.
This is 100% true... My friends and I used to be the straight A, studying all the time, typical nerds in high school. Now a couple of years later, a lot of us are going to the gym, dating high quality women, making money, and finding success in life.
I am a software developer myself and I am trying to learn UX & UI design as a part of my self-improvement journey. Everything that Hamza says is true. A couple of points that I've already came across by are:
1. You are nothing but a user to the company, just another statistic. They even encourage designers to make the homescreen so friendly as possible that you get dopamine from getting on the landing page.
2. They are designing the apps so that you that you get the feeling you need to sign-up/join them by placing specific buttons in corners, the middle of the screen. They even make the things round because it gets your attention and it gives you the urge to click it.
The more I get into it, the darker it becomes. I hope that after I graduate I can get a normal job and maybe fix the problems with the modern day apps.
yeah! youll be a hero if u do fix the problems with social media, keep on grinding
You sound like you have a good shot at getting where you want to got good luck to you and may the odds be ever in your favor
@@fivr. make one yourself then
I've been doing only upper body calisthenics because for some reason, head motion causes me headaches, so I don't do squats. Yesterday I started a different lower body workout plan of walking a 2 mile loop every day. Today's my 2nd day I've done it. Standing calf raises cause far less of a headache, so I added that today, 1 set before walking
I do underhand Chinups, and Hindu Push ups.. These 2 are sickest combo IMO...
Today I'm thankful that God showed me this guy on UA-cam few months ago. His name is Hamza. And seriously, my life changed ever since I started watching you. I started learning foreign languages, reading, journaling, working out and started seeing progress, started praying more, reading Kur'an, getting closer to God and being a better person. Then sleeping more and deleting Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook, eating more healthy foods, quitting sugar except fruits. I'm getting closer to Adonisssssssssssss and I'm so thankful. I don't say this is because of me, or Hamza. God or universal consciousness, however you call it, it is raising healthy strong men and Hamza is promoting it. It works through Hamza and it's affecting all of us, cult members lol. We are getting strong. Thank God. Let's take the responsibility to make the world a better place. Peace and blessings on all of you who are reading this.
Mashallah brother
Hamza i got to thank you man. Its been a few months since i have started this journey and im seeing it. Im happier, ive connected more with my brother, im disgusted with my past actions and am having it easier to connect with people nowadays. Thank you man you’ve really helped
"You spend too much time on your phone!"
Says the guy on my phone.
Love your videos bro you change our lives everyday
a few days before watching this video i deleted instagram, snapchat, tiktok, all these kinds of apps and it really works because now i spent more time focusing on school and work. this video is just confirming why i deleted it. i only use whatsapp and youtube now and my screentime has reduced by 3 or 4 hours.
I used to spend 8+ hours on those 3 addictions (on non school days otherwise like 4+) and now I spend less than an hour and that hour is watching self improvement videos from you.
Thank you so much for helping me out of the rabbit hole of the internet
Yesterday I got frustrated and deleted all my social media except UA-cam to watch you and am holding back from video games
Today I have a total of 3 hours on my phone and it's 8 pm
The free time I have today, I didn't have yesterday. I spend on homework educating myself by watching your videos about psychology and body transformation and started meditation, I started reading "The power of now" , brushed my teeth after every meal not just breakfast and held back from junk food, going to sleep in about half an hour cus I wake up at 6:30 to get 10h
Thank you and Andrew for opening my eyes, for telling me my life is going nowhere right into my eyes and showing me the way
What he said at the beginning is literally true. One of my highschool classmates committed suicide barely a year after finishing high school, and we never knew why. And one of my classmates who became a good friend in university got depressed and started having suicidal thoughts. We literally had to come through for him and advise him to just drop out of uni and take a break.
Since I'm studying a tech career right now, I guess I'm the cult's enemy according to Hamza. lol
Not at all, there can be tech out there that doesn't serve this agenda of retention through hyper stimulation. Tech is just a tool.
Yea you are since you watched the video with half ass. He didnt attack every IT guy, he critisized nerds that serve the evil politücal agenda
You can make tech for research purposes
corporate overlords are enemies
I’m glad I watched this, this feels like I’m sitting down with my dad and getting a one sided lecture, as much as I hate it and just wanna get out, I can’t stop listening cause everything they are saying is completely right and it does get me a perspective change💙 much love dawg
As men, and more generally as full grown adults, it is ridiculous to let so called social medias destroy your mental health, makes you addict, or whatever. These guys could make the platform as addictive as they want, it is still just a screen and useless informations. You can easily switch them off. (I am not talking about kids and teens, though.)
But as a man, or as a woman, I am sorry but you have no excuses. Social medias are ridiculous and aren't addictive at all, at least when your IQ is above average. I find online dating apps to be much more dangerous and pernicious, because although it is just a screen that you can switch off, it has affected the whole dating world. So even if you are not directly using them, the fact that roughly 40% of young folks are using them makes meeting new people in real life more difficult than in our grandparents prime years.
Hamza has been one of the few people that honestly made me realize how brainwashed we've been now and days, I've would've never thought this was the reality and I would've stayed being some lazy ignorant person but now me and other young men can step out and become the men we are supposed to be, I want to thank you for the inspiration you have given me and others❤💪

This very video has changed my entire perspective about the world, in just 20 minutes I was experiencing so, so many emotions. Thank you for opening my eyes.
UA-cam right now is my only kind of 'social media' and it always has been. Thank you.
13:53 Video games are literally what got me the amazing friends I have today, I honestly have no idea what I would be doing if I hadn't ever met them through it. Video games are the way we connect with each other and have of all things, they have brought the most joy into my life.
Hard copium
I'm doing this for my future son...
bro I literally love you. You helped me through so much. Before I was watching you I was really Jeffrey but now thanks to you I've got better. Love you bro keep the mentality going. (sorry if i misspelled something)
this video hit me hard, before this video, I was going to be a software developer and I was contemplating leaving this track. when I saw this video, it made me think about the moral implications of working for these companies.
There was only 3 of us in class in highschool
Almost 1 month in on my self improvement journey, and gotta tell you: it feels great. Ive made some goals, even conquered some (most of the goals Ive set are for longer terms), and it just keeps getting better with each day. I was also able to help my parents more, and once I return to dorm and start my next semester, I will encourage my roommate for self-improvement. :D
In Hamza we trust
This video aged well. Especially with the release of the Twitter files. I know I'm a Jefferey for still being on Twitter. LOL
whats the twitter files
