Idk about social anxiety but I do think that being an introvert (with less of a need for social interaction) helps you focus more on learning and makes it easier to achieve things in life that require tons of individual work (computer science, music, etc). Of course he talked about being shy not introverted so that doesn't fully apply
I disagree. First off he didnt invite him out, he just demanded it. And do you really he would go easy on him? I do also agree the little brother could have just said he just isnt into sports and thats not his thing, so yeah hes a jerk. But then the older brother insulted him at every point and ignored him so much he wasnt even aware of his internet success and wealth increase despite living in the same house.
As a person with anxiety who's therapist said it's a miracle I have managed to make it to 23 without drugs or medication can confirm it is truly a super power
“Just think of being shy as a superpower :))))” yes because constantly stuttering, feeling like everyone hates you, and wanting friends but never having the balls to talk to anyone so you’re trapped in a never ending cycle of loneliness makes me feel like a superhero
Honestly the older "jerk" brother seems more like a caring idiot than a jerk, I don't agree with him pushing his brother down but the advice he gives is correct. Most people won't get famous on yt and should have a 2nd option, also just playing games all day is very unhealthy
Even though I do some youtube and art stuff, I cannot help but agree. Any freelancing stuff (vid making, art, writing, etc) is incredibly rough and the odds of true success are minuscule. The advice I give is: don't do it if your goal is fame and fortune. Do it for passion.
Imagine the message it's sending to the child audience. Social anxiety is something that leads to many people being super lonely. People shouldn't embrace it they should strive to overcome it and be a better version of themselves. People can be happy and shy but I think that if it gets in the way of who you want to be, than you should learn to overcome it.
They paint the older brother as really mean but he invited the younger brother to play football and told to stop playing video games and do something else. The brother actually seemed pretty supportive, he told the gamer how to live his life better.
@@ericgolightly8450 Well yeah he shouldn’t have done that but he was offering to let him play with them, yes he did do some not cool things but in the end he was kinda right as someone trying to be famous online is really rare, I mean you see these popular gamers but you don’t see the many people who failed
"Being shy is a superpower" WOW. That is actually THE WORST message they could have POSSIBLY given off from this kind of story. AND THEY DID IT. NO, being shy is NOT a superpower. If you have a disability, that's NOT a superpower, it's a disability. Pretending it's not just makes things worse. I had social anxiety, and it is NOT a superpower. It harms people if not nurtured. It's like if someone was ditsy and nearly gets into an accident because of it, and they said that being ditsy was a superpower that can save your life! THAT'S what I get from that. And the worst part is that Dhar Mann's ONLY goal with these videos is the MESSAGE. NOT the story. NOT the acting. NOT the writing. The MAIN selling point is the MESSAGE. So I MIGHT give Dhar Mann a pass if the message is actually GOOD. And half the time, they're NOT good messages. They're actually harmful for people.
To me I think what he was trying to say was that flaws make you unique and that you can overcome them, not the other way around. He just didn’t get the message out right as always.
"Being shy is a superpower" yea because being like this my whole life where I never had any friends and believing everyone hated me and found me weird and that something was wrong with me. The times I had panic attacks in the middle of class whether it was being called on by the teacher or anything I felt judged. The times I sat alone at lunch wanting friends but at the same time felt uncomfortable around people wanting to talk to anyone or the courage to talk to anyone. The times I had panic attacks in public whenever someone would talk to me or being in a large crowd alone. I struggle with depression and anxiety and for years I've struggle to get help because of how much I struggle with talking to people and opening up about myself. I tried it before both group therapy and 1 on 1 and it was awful and It made my anxiety worse. Being shy definitely isn't a superpower and the fact that dhar man is teaching children this is so harmful especially for those with anxiety and disabilities.
As someone who actually suffers from social anxiety and has to take medication to do things normal people take for granted...I am kinda immensely insulted and offended by this whole thing. Markiplier, Jardon, Jacksepticeye, August, or my favorite above all favorites... freaking Manlybadasshero himself could walk up to me in the street and I would not jump around and freak out. I would literally blackout panic and just stand there awkwardly staring at them unable to breathe because the idea of saying hello to them would be like deciding the T-Rex just got out of the paddock and I am gonna run to the nearest bathroom to hide and wait to be eaten! The worst part is I can't even tell if the kid is meant to be normal shy or social Anxiety because for some reason normal people equate the two all the time. I spent my entire childhood with people going "Oh...she's just shy...speak up if you want something!" And my mom going "No...she is not just shy...and trust me if she could speak up she would! If she talks to you or around you at all she *TRUSTS* you." Keep in mind mine is fairly severe so other folks might be more or Less capable then me...
Manlybadasshero is your fav...you are a well cultured person I see (its cool he finally reached 1M finally) Speaking seriously however I really wish you the best, from your description my case wasn't as bad as yours but i can understand some of the things you had to go through, please just keep in mind that nevermind how scary interactions may seem, most of them won't have an effect on you or anyone, and act on that (i suppose this is the hardest part) and that nevermind what people think of you or say about you, time will move and none of your will remember or care I'm... sorry if this was a weird ted talk, but...i just hope you get better, or at least happy with yourself
Agreed. Being shy is a lot different than social anxiety. A little kid might grow out of being shy but social anxiety isn’t as easy to overcome. It can take therapy, medication, counseling, and/or support to just be able to go out in public
@Seiena I fully understand, sorry you're mom did that, as a kid in the 80s my parents usually held my ears and pretended I hated loud noises so strangers (mostly middle aged and elderly women) wouldnt legit touch my face and my hair (I had curly hair , and dark green eyes and I'm black) and I felt like a prop I used to tear up from it my parents saw it and would play along so I wouldn't get touched or my hair played with Teen girls weren't as bad but they did the whole "aww look at that curly hair and green eyes " and literally get up in my face like they were gonna kiss me on the cheek hated it , I smiled but my dad used to do this thing where he'd say we gotta go so they didn't touch me or get all in my face which scared the hell outta me as a kid I still deal with social anxiety and I always get anxiety at someone touching me or grabbing me (I've had women who didn't know me touch my butt and penis and that really freaked me out )
You're lucky your mom knows and understands your social anxiety, mine just tells literally everyone that I'm "just shy" I can barely even approach people whom I've been talking to for months wdym just shy 😭
the fact that the older brother is supposed to be the bad guy is so funny to me THE FACT THAT THE BROTHER WAS UNAWARE OF HIS LITTLE GOBLIN BROTHER BEING SUCCESSFUL AND THEY LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE
"I just realized being shy is a superpower" Well damn tf didn't anyone tell me, I've just been awkwardly going through life till now.. thanks Dhar man.. 😭
Why is no one talking about how no one thought it was weird that faze rug was just walking by the school randomly and coming on school grounds, talks to a student just taking off a sweatshirt? I am convinced that the scriptwriters have never had more than two human interactions in their lives.
Being shy and socially awkward almost ruined my life what a great superpower Also I love how Fazerug says he's shy after he walked up to random stranger and started having a conversation with him
Yeah I'm shy and have severe anxiety. I'm always paranoid my girlfriend is cheating on me even tho she loves me so much. I'm constantly convinced I'm ugly and not good enough. What a superpower 😊
Thank you sometimes you need a plan B because being successful on RU-vid is rare maybe be a pet chicken for money and who knows maybe one day you’ll get on dr. Phil
I’m a little insulted by the “being shy is a super power” thing. I’m shy a person. To the point where even if i know someone and they come up to me and start talking I close up.
Ikr, I have an social anxiety problem and being SHY IS NOT A SUPERPOWER I cannot speak to anyone, I was always shy, but a year ago it got so bad that I lost contact with all my friends and now in my new school I literally cant speak a single word, Im constantly sweating, aches, and I shake, I have seeked advice from experts and nothing helps..
It's the normalise culture nowadays. Just a bunch of wokes whining to normalise this and normalise that. Pretty much like the 'fat positivity' movement
so is this dhar Mann video collaboration with faze rug really helps because it really does but how about you guys because august just talk the bad script and acting in here but idk but there is really some problem like this probably.
I love how he stopped needing glasses after he signed the contract. Being a gamer cures bad vision I guess. Or maybe being shy really is a super power.
Being shy is a superpower? What the hell Dhar Mann. I mean I’m shy in real life and I know being so shy you can’t control it is not a god damn superpower. It makes me laugh how they gave us this advice xD
fr, there’s days when i’m starving with absolutely nothing at home and i can’t even go outside because of how people will look at me, a simple glance will make me do a 180 from the store
Now, SA does suck but you can flex with your ability to be self conscious about the music you listen to and being able to empathize better which is practically useless unless it’s a very close friend who you’re trying to help.
Ya they do the same with Autism. It’s not bad to have autism but it’s not a superpower. It doesn’t improve your life. They’re just too scared to actually show the effects It can have on people.
@@nationalinstituteofcheese3012 as someone with autism i strongly agree. it’s taken me YEARS to accept the fact that me having autism won’t change and i’m still trying to accept it but it’s getting better. i want a job and i’ve finally learned to cook after so many years and i wanna be a baker :> being shy or having any sort of “dysfunction”(idk what to call it) doesn’t make you weak but it doesn’t make you strong either. your “dysfunction” doesn’t make you strong, you do.
@@nationalinstituteofcheese3012 Considering how successful Dhar Mann has become, i can very well say that personality is not a requirement for being successful on youtube.
@@fos1451 the problem with Dhar Dhar is that even if the supposed '' antagonist '' is actually giving good advise and make sense or idk, have common sense, he'll portray them as an over the top jerk
I have social anxiety, and this video has empowered me and made me realize almost having a panic attack when people try and talk to me, is all in my head.
The "bully" in this video, is for the most part just being realistic. Most people aren't going to get big as a game streamer. And it's not mean to tell someone who is obsessed with the idea. That it's not something you can just decide to do.
Exactly,my younger sister wants to be a gamer to but I tell her it might not be the best plan for her future and she should try to find a better options
I've think I've seen a few people say on other videos that they were forced to watch it in class by their teachers. Can't remember the link or the comments unfortunately
one of my teachers found dhar mann videos inspirational and sometimes forces the class to watch but me and the bois always keep making fun of them because of how ridiculous they are
I remember someone commented on one of Dhar Mann’s videos saying how the plot was too predictable basically. Dhar Mann responded saying something along the lines of “I could make the plot less predicable, but it may lack that inspirational aspect”. Doesn’t he know you can still make an inspirational story without a character winning/getting everything they want in the end? If this wasn’t a collab, I would’ve much more preferred if Ali didn’t become a gamer but did become something great and still proved his brother wrong since he wasn’t just a “shy loser”. The bittersweet truth is sometimes you can’t get everything you dream of in life. Your flaws aren’t superpowers, they are what they are, flaws, some can be fixed and some can’t
Dhar Mann wants to make videos that are so digestible and simple to get the most views. He's not about inspiring people. He's just trying to get the most money. I bet he has a formula that he goes by. Dilute it with cliché. The cheapest story to get that sweet RU-vid paper. But I bet Mann got such a big ego that he really thinks he's doing a service to the world.
In elementary school, I wrote about a boy and a mouse. The plot behind it was that the boy went to war and had to leave his mouse behind. It still was better writing than dhar mann's scripts
10:50 "and then one day, he happens to see his brother..." that he apparently hasn't seen in months and goes to the same school as... do they not live in the same house? Do they even have parents? Who knows? This story doesn't...
Calling social anxiety a superpower hurts so f*cking bad. I have severe social anxiety, and the amount of things that seem to be basic day to day things become an immense challenge for me. Putting yourself on social media is out of the question. It’s not a superpower, it’s a disorder, and it can make your life seem impossible. Talking about things that you have no personal experience with should be criticized so much more than it is now. You can’t just “get over it”. You need to get professional help to try and overcome parts of the crippling anxiety you face with any social situation.
I also have terrible social anxiety, it’s so stressful and it’s super hard to just go in public. It’s so insensitive that it’s framed as a “superpower”.
Silly both of you, you should thank Dhar Mann! And buy his merch! And donate some money to him! And donate some more! And donate your savings! Screw it, donate your college fund! And then donate your organs… and your belongings. And then your soul.
@@pogcow4178that too give it all to Dhar Mann cuz Dhar Mann says that being shy is a super power which is proof that Dhar Mann has never suffered from such a disorder cuz if he did he would know indeed it is not a super power.
The fact that dahr Mann makes such bad things is crazy he sets crazy high expectations Gamer who doesn’t go outside succeeds Football player who works hard and plays a sport fails Very nice
is it just me or is the elder brother not even an antagonist in this?? he invited his younger brother to play football with him probably to become closer and just told him the hard truth that not all ppl will be successful playing games and he needs to wake up. he’s the most realistic person in this dumb videos lmao
@thegreatclocktowershowsandusky I don't think his dyslexia is to blame here. His narration is just so monotone and pandering as if he's trying to subliminally say, "Hey, look how good I am at teaching you."
i have social anxiety Dahr Mann: well... if you have anxiety... just stop having anxiety, youl do fine me: *oh my god, im cured, i see nothing wrong anymore, im gonna go become a famous rockstar now, ive never felt so alive*
He needs to realize it’s 2021, video games aren’t uncool anymore, if anything it’s less cool nowadays to not play video games. A kid is not gonna get picked on by their older brother because they play video games.
well he will if he just keeps saying ''I'm gonna become a successful streamer'' but still not having the urge to even open the camera, he just keeps using the excuse ''I'm shy'' and not do anything about it, also it's still unhealthy for him to just sit at home playing games the entire day
As a person with social anxiety, I am very upset. If this guy has social anxiety, it’d be very, I mean very hard to show his face on a camera, or just talk into the mic at best.
I realize cliches and stereotypes are probably the closest Dhar Mann's writers will ever come to genuine human interaction, but are they seriously expecting us to believe his brother is such a "dumb jock" to the point he never noticed a Porsche at his own house? Or ever had anyone ask about his brother? I mean, what; the "hottest girl in school" is the only one in the entire place to notice him?
I can lay out every Dharmann video in 5 sentences Introduces shy insecure loser Has a bully who picks on him Gets a cheap horrible inspiration quote Becomes successful in 1 week(bullshit by the way) Owns bully by getting what the bully says he’lol never get and role outro
5:09 it’s so evidently clear that this was last minute improv. While the actor did somewhat ok, they didn’t bother to do another take. Just goes to show how very little effort gets put into these videos.
The old Dhar Mann videos actually feel like Dhar Mann videos, but his videos really have been going downhill lately. They started off as actually life changing, but now, they are all pretty much the same video, it’s just covers the same old topic of bullying
As someone who is extremely shy to the point of never even being in a relationship and having a tiny friend group, it is NOT a damn superpower. It is a burden that affects every aspect of your life
Shyness or social anxiety is not a superpower. Every single person I've known has told me that they had to learn to overcome it, not use it. I'm not extroverted, but I can say, I'm not shy anymore and extremely glad for that. I remember as a kid, hiding behind my mom at social and family gatherings, not being able to look people in the eye when they spoke to me, hiding in corners hugging my knees to my chest and crying if a lot of people were around and my mom was nowhere in sight, and DREADING leaving the house if I knew talkative adults and kids my age would be around. It's absolutely horrible and not something anyone would be proud of.
How did he buy the car, if he still has the cheque? Did he show the dealer something and be like, I'm good, I can pay for it later, and they took at face value?
Honestly, this has got to be one of the most underrated channels! keep up the good content! hopefully, the algorithm will help you out in the near future.
Thing is, being a gamer nowadays isn't gonna get you picked on. If anything, being a "jock" who picks on people for being gamers is what is gonna get you picked on. The message Dhar Mann was trying to make in his video kinda went out the window by choosing THIS to be the topic of being picked on.
@@lapplandkun9273 even Dhar seems to be very aware of how repetitive and cringe his videos are, as his latest one goes deep into that, but he still treats himself more famous than he really is too.
@@freddycipher6112 no teenagers/kids will pity a bully victim or the whole school wears your favourite stuffs after watching your mom's video or dharrmann's video about bullying is bad and we should wear the bully victim's favourite to make them happy xD
His brother was actually helping him with learning an actual game instead of making a few pixels move on screen! Also, he actually wanted involve him in the group of his boys, not all big brothers would do that. So, that's actually a good brother. Not an asshole or a bully that Dhar Mann makes him out to be.
I don't know if I have social anxiety, but I get mad nervous every single time I leave my house I feel out there and embarrassed without music to calm me down and at school I'm pretty much silent if I'm not with my friends. The constant thinking of embarrassing and not having the ability to be able to speak when you wanna and stuttering/stumbling/saying words I really didn't mean to isn't the superpower I was really praying for
