The bullshit is metaphorical, but its manufacturing is literal.

My attention goes to the Fallout New Vegas on my screen when it should go to the Fallout New Vegas in my heart.

Thanks random guy on the internet telling me how to live my life in a way that emotionally resonates with me

This also happens IRL, not just content on the internet. I've listened to tons of people telling me how I should live my life and think, and I ended up being successful, but miserable and living someone else's dream. I was too scared to do things on my own, because listening to myself and my "gut instinct" was considered impulsive or "incorrect". Only recently did I start listening to myself as opposed to others in living my life, and even though it's stressful, I feel like now I'm truly living my life.

I just love how he squeezes in jokes while talking about some serious topics 😂

[SundaraRamanR]

I've started closing my laptop and phone down and having digital-free time for exactly this reason - it's reminded me what it feels like to have "my thoughts" on my own instead of just either agreeing or disagreeing with someone else's thoughts online. I'm literally watching this during what's supposed to be a Sunday digital downtime though, so let's call it a work in progress for now 😅

I've no idea who to listen to. I listen to myself, i screw myself over. I listen to others, i screw myself over.

I liked the metaphorical stretching of his whole dome at the end

Isn’t the problem with anxiety is that you are too focused inward? But now I’m too focused outward?

[robbygbright]

Yep.... really got into those not so great.. reels.. yeahh now I feel back to nuetral.. and you are really helping with that voice, thank you

[Aishwarya-nzko]

Lol😂 that random tick tok guy telling how to live our lives

[genocidist]

when u were driven by fear all ur life, all u want would be to die, or just do nothing forever, because even when u do nothing, the fear is still there and it just feeds u to do nothing more

[aomccaskill]

Listening to yourself is sort of a skill. The upside is that its something that gets better with practice, the downside is that it can atrophy if you frequently ignore yourself.

[optimisticexistentialnihilism]

This only applies to me somewhat because I don’t resonate with drama I resonate with emotional strength and optimism thanks anyway Doctor K

[ashisland]

this is because the world's is more complicated and the solution 1 person can come up with is unlikely to solve it

[BrianVanClough]

I totally resonate with this. Defo subscribing 😅

[wanderingrandomer]

It's true. Up until recently, I had no idea who I was or what I wanted to do with my life. I still don't really know, because I used to get told how to live my life so much that I'm not sure how much of my own voice is in here anymore.

[ZeckWinter]

I always try to make sure i’m being taught different things. Science, culture, news, music, etc. - all while still getting my dosage of fun/funny entertainment and memes lol

[h.t.]

Agreed! I was even thinking about deactivating my Instagram account the last few days because I'm automatically influenced by what everyone I know posts, and I feel like I haven't been in touch with my individuality. It's tough tho bc I might want to use it for work related stuff

[anikalee]

Totally agree. I love this fact so much❤❤❤❤
