You just say things and back it up by saying it would help you do more things you don't wanna do. You could argue that cold showers are great for your skin, body and boosts your mood with endorphin release, but that might force you to acknowledge that the chemical reactions in the brain might actually verify that depression and anxiety are real. Quite the conundrum......
Didn't you make a video telling men to idolize fictional characters? At least Mike Tyson is real and puts in real effort into his lifestyle and education. not fkin iron man lol.
Ok so you don't have anxiety. But you still ain't right in the head. You're so self unaware that your problem is just extreme ignorance and illogical thinking. Anxiety is real, it's a brain reaction and not a skill issue, your silly demonstration is with that ball was embarrassing. And you aren't exactly the best orator around and you still manage to sound confident. Lack of self awareness without any education to utilize so you really do say whatever you want. Bruh, real talk tho you can get by on your looks alone and fitness. Just stop saying things.
Youve clearly never had to deal with actual mental health problems. I have OCD its not just as simple as ignoring it and seeing a bigger purpose or whatever. How can you disrespect so many people with mental health problems while never having truly had it yourself? You dont understand it at all so dont act all high and mighty about it. I understand you think that its a waste of time, and youre right it is a waste of time and stops you doing big stuff. But many people cannot just ignore it. You have to get better from it and spend time getting through it to actually start doing bigger stuff. Its ridiculous to assume everyone can just act like its not there. Having a purpose can help you get through your mental health problems, and you shouldnt just give up but its important to acknowledge its there. People deserve to feel happy. Also you say peoples feeling dont matter but their purpose does? WHY ??? I could just say the same thing about your purpose. In a few billion years all of our atoms will be apart of some black holes singularity in space and nothing will ever remember us or know we existed. Guess everythings pointless then? Doing something big doesnt matter if people are not happy. The whole reason we develop as a society is to make life EASIER and less painful. What is the point in ignoring your mental health problems and feeling like shit your whole life?
This is what you call throwing out the baby with the bath water. There is some truth to what you're saying, but this statement is way too broad. It requires nuance, and I think you should concider that different men need different solutions.
This is half true and half not true. Yes, have a mission. Know how to turn off your feelings. Yes, dont feel sorry for yourself. But look after yourself too. All the best to u bro 🙏
While I understand the point you’re trying to make, and even agree to a certain extent, this isn’t the right way to comunicate this matter. It sends off this message that plagues society for a while now to just repress feelings and emotions instead of confronting and overcoming them!
Your mission is not greater than you. YOU are part of the mission. If you cannot protect your feelings and health, than that fucking mission is over my guy. Imagine completing your mission, just to be so messed up you can't even reap the benefits. There isn't a point in that. Unless your mission is charitable. But even then, you must give some charity to yourself.
For those of you who watched this video and felt that it resonated with you, you can *have* a greater purpose and still consider your mental health. In fact, having a purpose greatly _improves_ your mental health, so Jake is right about the importance of purpose. I think he's got the right idea, but his misconceptions about mental health have placed him at odds with folks who believe the same thing, just with a few caveats. Mental health is about the positive and negative emotions you experience, as well as how you deal with them. It's not safe to just bottle all of your negative feelings up instead of thinking about how they might affect you and the things and people you care about; one day or another, if you ignore all of your negative feelings for a long period of time, you'll eventually be hit with them all at once, and you won't have the experience you need to deal with them in big doses. That's how folks end up hurting or killing themselves or their loved ones, or completely abandoning all sense of purpose that they carried with them - oftentimes these acts are drastic, temporary solutions to lasting problems, and their inefficacy can cause greater dissatisfaction that leads to even more drastic action. Dwelling on negative emotions can negatively affect your productivity and your relationships, but they also can't just be thrown away without a second thought towards where they might be coming from. Clinical psychology is all about getting to the root of your negative and positive feelings and making your life a lot easier to live by improving your mental health. Therefore, it's actually vital to think about your emotions, negative and positive, in order to move on from your pain. Yes, it's important for many to believe in something greater than themselves, like important research and solving world hunger; that can give people solace in times of suffering. However, it's also important to consider bolstering your happiness in other ways, like forming connections with friends and doing things for the sake of enjoying them. Life isn't always about the grind; sometimes it's just about having a good time, doing something satisfying, or helping your loved ones through their own issues. Masculinity doesn't invalidate the importance of being happy and in touch with your feelings. In fact, knowing yourself is the first step towards being happy with who you are and what you can do to meet your purpose. Sources and further reading: 1.

to add on a little bit: the discipline that jake mentions towards the end is actually a very important part of clinical psychology! however a lot of that discipline involves knowing exactly what it is you're feeling and allowing those feelings to pass without resistance; the more you resist, the more they come to you. yes, push on through your troubles, but don't pretend they don't exist. jake and i agree on that much, at least
we do NOT, however, agree on the idea that knowing your feelings will lead to you being "too distracted". on the contrary, i firmly believe that ignoring your feelings, like exhaustion and fear and mourning, will cause you to crash and burn out before you have the chance to reach your full potential. it is okay to reassess your mental and cheer yourself up every now and again; it's like eating and sleeping in that you have to do it in moderation in order to keep your energy up, but doing it too much will cause you to lose energy and motivation instead
This advice is fine when you are in the peripheries of feeling slightly low / 'low mood' or slightly anxious or slightly xyz, however this is not always the case. Severe depression is real. What about men also with alcoholism? Paranoid schizophrenia? Drug addiction? Mental health is real this video you uploaded is toxic masculinity. Get this video off. This is why men are committing suicide. I think what you're talking towards is being preventative in mental health. But you need to educate yourself before giving (toxic / judgemental health) advice bro.
this is the real sheep mentality, the manosphere has turned young men into souless NPCs you should try to have an original thought for once in your life
