"Life is mostly a cycle between boredom and anxiety" This hit me so hard

[dynamicdingus]

The more aware u r about these, the more depressed you are, or the more you are at peace.

“If you know you will be forgotten,
you can decide to live for right now.
While you’re still here.
If you will be replaced then right now you are, or at some point, you were important.”
Thank you for this.

I appreciate that the internet has created spaces for these discussions without my mother jumping in to tell me that Jesus solves these problems.

Edit: Thanks for the likes, you heathens!

These aren't "dark" truths, these are just truths.

[Aegianlulz]

The fact that I will be forgotten forever. It’s kinda liberating. It reminds me that nothing at all in this life matters, so I should try to cherish the good things and not care too much about the bad things after all, some day nobody will remember me

[Jhawk_k]

I can't think of a word to describe the feeling your videos give me. It's easy to say its pessimistic, but that simply isn't true. It's more like an optimistic absurdism. It's just so fundamentally human

[izuchukwuuchegbu]

The existential dread Robert brings on making us realise the futility of it all is refreshing in its own way

[freshpressedify]

Thanks for the existential crisis, as always 😅

Whatever you have experienced in your life, it happened within you. Nobody could ever feel the pain or happiness that you went through, except for you.
The truth is "We are all alone in our inner worlds".😊😊

Listening to most of your videos is like my chaotic thoughts are being eloquently verbalized into existence. It's like, understanding what i really feel for a few minutes without any anxiety and mental distractions. Thank you..

summary:
1. There is something deeply wrong with you
2. You will never be understood by anyone
3. You will never fully know yourself
4. Nothing is what it seems
5. So much of life is chance
6. Happiness will never come (not in the form we wish)
7. You will be replaced
8. You will be forgotten
9. No real story ends well
10. In all likeliness, when your story ends, it is the end

This is so amazing. This made me realise we have to accept both parts of us. Society has told us that it’s terrible. It’s not. If we didn’t have this side, we could not be able to understand. It was good or bad

[Hawkenshmire]

Our high school Principal used to say "Make it a great a day or not, the choice is yours" on the intercom after saying announcements. Most of us ignored it but now I understand it and Im sure some classmates would like to hear it again.

I know there is going to be bad days but how you choose to react to it is up you and bad days can make you stronger or weaker.

Just when I thought you couldn't depress me anymore, you go and make a video like this...and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!! Thanks for another great video full of insight and depth!

[yakyakl]

over the years i've lost my fear of disappearing and i'm glad that one day i'll be completely forgotten

“Rebel against the absurdity of it all” - that speaks to me. Never thought of it before as a rebellion, as I’ve always just experienced it as intense energy pressing for expression, which seemed to stem from suffering. I used to release it in a negative direction, but now, I’m learning to use it in healthy ways, such as using it to exercise the body.

Once the “dark truths” are accepted and integrated, there’s still an intense energy left behind that now seems to be freed up for other things. I wonder if this should be one of the main points, at least for some of us. Peace is great, but so is freed up energy that can now be used constructively rather than destructively. Peace itself doesn’t contribute to purpose, but freed up energy does.

One of the most beautiful interpretations of life I’ve ever heard

[badalicemusic]

My insignificance in the universe is a comfort to me. It helps me accept and understand that I don't, and will never, know everything. Which means judging others and rejecting them for their beliefs or opinions fells not only stupid but wasteful too. This, hopefully, helps me understand the value and place of humility while I'm a living entity on this planet. And that's a refreshing antidote to "sip" from when the pressures and anxieties that come with being the protagonist in my own life - as we all are in our own lives - feels overwhelming.
