Thank you so much for this video, felt a gut feeling to just to type "Hate Yourself" and this video just felt the right one. Was really hating on myself because these shadow self of mine always came in my way to success. made me fail, and when I tried to change and somehow tried to grow in life, all these distractions like reels, sleeping for hours took over me. just made me loose which made me feel worse day by day. Recently Being at a point, where I don't like talking to myself or anyone one around. I felt that this video probably just be that one hope, which has made me feel that it wasn't me who ruined my growth it's just the Shadows created by these traumas that I faced during my childhood. Thank you Again :)
I don't get it. What's the problem with playing vídeo games every now and then? Unless you're skipping your responsabilities, like work, studies or taking care of your body by working out and eating healthy, vídeo games are really just another harmless hobby, like watching movies or reading a book
By the thumbnail I was expecting I would see the depiction of my pathetic self-deprecating friends, but eventually I am now more interested in shadow work towards detaching from the traumatic manipulative mother background thnx
There is a person I don’t like, but never understood why. I’ve now realized I’m probably jealous of her confidence to make friends with people easily, which I struggle to do. This video helped me realize this, thank you
A bit late to the party but thank you for the vid! Really appreciate the genuineness. I was doing the exercise with the good and bad parts and I noticed as I was listing qualities it is sometimes hard to tell which side they go on. Like normal/weird, realistic/dreamy, passive/proactive. And then I took a shower and I thought it started to feel a bit weird to label some characteristics as bad. So it became about accepting the duality and I started writing down opposite parts of myself willy nilly on either side. And maybe I strayed a little but it did ground me. I'm definitely looking more into this. So thank you for sharing!
When i was around 6 years ols, i got bullied in the courtyard. I ran to my father and told him everything, he was pissed about the situation and scolded the bullies, but the moment they took off and i stood alone by my father , he yelled at me and said that it has to be the first and last time i was asking help from him. Of course now i understand, his life was tough, he meant only the bullying thing and etc. but i realise, only now, that it probably ruined my whole fucking life, to the point that i just cant interfere with people like a normal human being, because i think that even speaking with a pathetic being like i is a favor. I dont want to live
Thank you, it's a meaningful video for me. I just got really mad and feels like going about to tantrum. But, it try to keep almost all of it by myself. When I try to keep and memorize it, it feels really uncomfortable. I really hate it. I know it's my mistake, but I also know there is another variable that makes me uncomfortable and makes me not focus to what I need to do. I'm mad at them and myself. Then I realize that variable makes me uncomfortable because it have something to do with what I fear. Because of that, I can't really blame it on myself. But I can't really blame it on them, because they are more superior than me and there is people that not bother by what they do... It's confusing... Makes me hope that one day I can get rid of this fear... It's tiring.
My shadow won’t allow me to say I love myself .. It’s like I can’t feel where the vocal placement should be and I still feel it swap hate in there and it’s really annoying
I want to cut my hair, starve myself and not shower at all. I hate myself that I can't stand looking at myself. I hate how i think and talk. I tried faking it until I make it. In the end I still hate myself. I fall in love with people hoping maybe they would love me because I can't love myself
I want love, but all my life I was told that no one could love someone like me. At first I grew up rejecting people because I was afraid of being rejected, never giving my love away, but now I want love and try to give it to others but I keep getting rejected. Help me exit this hurtful loop.
Great video man, I honestly thought when I would look down at the subscriber count, I would see like 2 or even 3 million people, but its just 5.5k, you are really underrated man, keep up this content!
I think youre really right, now that i think about it i always play videogames to have a sense of progression by grinding ingame bevause i didnt felt like i was actaully making progress irl
I become a prey of sociopaths easily,,and I hate that. It wastes my time... The time is all I have!!! ※ So sorry about your wrist..😢 ※※ Your cat is so adorable😍❤️🩷
Woah this is truly a nugget of wisdom. And in under six minutes. No nonsense, just giving the informative goodies. Thanks man! I think this will prove really useful to me.
I’m not sure I completely agree with the childhood trauma part of the psychology. However I believe many of these concepts are insightful and helpful towards my future self (hopefully).
Takeaway from the video: A shadow self is a micro-personality that protects your inner child. Shadows hide away pieces of your personality that you are afraid of. Hiding these traits involves building a coping mechanism: -becoming emotionally numb to stop being emotionally manipulated -developing addictions to distractions (video games, junk food, etc.) to drown out anxiety -developing addictions to instant gratifications (video games, junk food, etc.) to compensate underlying depression -skipping responsibilities / acting lazy to reduce stress The problem is: - emotions must be managed, not suppressed - anxiety must be treated (psychotherapy, meditation, exercise, medication, etc.) not ignored - depression must be treated (counselling, psychotherapy, medication, etc.) not compensated - stress must be managed, not evaded When you understand what your shadows are trying to hide from you, you could free them of their duties by addressing the underlying problems in your life.
IDK Man we weren't meant to be a productivity machine. you hate yourself IF you don't enjoy life, u might tell me that u have to enjoy by getting the progress in aspects of life (gym, studies, ect...) but for me it's not all. why we make these progresses IS the question u need to answer. for me I train so I protect my loved ones and my self so I life a long healthy life SO I can enjoy it, I study so I work on a decent paying job so I get financially stable SO I enjoy with my family and friends. playing video games is a form of enjoyment as well as family and friends (might not be as healthy as them but that's another subject, and it still falls under the same category as enjoying life) so really just remember. u don't have to cut all your enjoyments. just minimize it and focus on helpful things as you build yourself a future where u can enjoy the things u like now more, maybe you'll get to enjoy different things then, being a parent, or with ur partner, or making ur father and mother proud, orr play more video games. who cares? it's your form of enjoyment u wasn't meant to be a robot type shi. live your life that's the quality advice u need to hear, I may not take any form of reward from typing this message but I enjoyed helping at least one person passing by this comment (lol at least one come on 💀it'll be a tragedy if no one saw it but I guess it'll still here in case anyone needed to hear this) so really, just embrace your way of life.
things you say are just meaningless, no different than astrology: people play video games because they're fun. people try to make money because money is everything. yes it is everything. world is run by greed, every single person on this planet devote a significant amount of their waking hours on making money. you're vaguely making connections to things that are common only to support your false claim constructed from a misunderstanding. Shadow is all of the things that are unconcsious, it's not about protecting an inner child. Everybody has a one single shadow(that's what Jung claims), it doesn't develop. you know what shadow is? it's the force that makes you say things like "money isn't everything" or "i'm not greedy" another cheap ass self improvement video that's made into algorithm this is.
This is a good video. It isn't demonizing video games and is making it clear that it's why YOU personally gravitate towards them at times. You touch on some serious topics without generalizing it for others and just keep things nice and grounded, yet effective. You found a great balance here for such a short video, nice work^^
