Doing new things that might scare you and excite you is what makes life worth living. In this episode of The Yap I'll share some of mine. ► Join my Discord: / discord
you're genuinely one of my favourite content creators niko. you don't make flashy content or scream in your microphone, and your content makes me want to better myself, be happier, I'm gonna mention you when i hold my graduation speech bud
I really like how honest you are about life, about your experiences. The video you made about breaking up came to me at the same point in my life where I have been reflecting on my own break up where we were also hurting each other especially on a day that was so significant for me a year ago. Also I would be really curious to see a video where you go on a hike and bring us along on the trip. Let us see the world through your eyes. Keep making these videos man! Hope you have a nice (singles) valentines day. I certainly was trying to!
because all he does is post generic content that everyone repeats. I'm not saying the videos are bad, but I'm saying this video isn't really that powerful of a message or something new
There is rarely so meaningful content on youtube nowadays. I am glad someone finally focuses on such topics and tries to introduce them to more people. In my opinion, modern people are used to being in their comfort zone too much. Of course, being in your comfort zone is not necessarily always a bad thing. There are times when it is required to stay there for some reason depending on the individual. On the other hand, people are afraid of experiencing new things or they are not interested enough in the "unknown". For me, the unknown is not just a place. It is an experience that is somewhere ahead of us on our path in life or the river we are flowing in as time progresses. Not striving for going through such novelties is a disadvantage. This way you will never see a different pespective aka a different side of things you already know. You will never learn new stuff. You will never upgrade your knowledge of the world you have. Tbh, it is such a broad theme and I do not think I am capable of putting all my thoughts in just one comment. Anyway, I also am fond of nature. It is my favourite place because humans have detached so much from nature and have lost that natural connection. I go on specific trails as well. Yet sometimes I want to go somewhere, unmarked by other human beings. It feels so unnatural since it is not a common thing to be in such places in present days. And the last thing I admire you for is that you mentioned my country - Bulgaria. I am a native bulgarian, was born and have lived here since my birth. The things which you mentioned regarding it are completely true. There is nothing inaccurate that must be corrected. I like the fact that you noticed something positive as a foreigner coming from the USA, in other words the country which my homeland is mainly influenced from. I don't find anything special about it except for nature even though I am native. Most of my acquintances do not admire it too. It is fascinating how you see things from your own lens despite all the prejudices about Bulgaria. And all that is due to the fact that you are not scared of the unknown. If you have any questions about Bulgaria or the things I shared I will be glad to answer them.
I was the kinda teenager to spend my whole day in my room on the computer only coming out to eat. Around this time some old friends of mine were much more sociable and were about the leave for college and they invited me to a party with their friends after talking to them a bit online. Back then I would normally not go because I was afraid of leaving my comfort zone even if I was with them. But around that time I was also looking back on my teenage years and realized I didn’t have that many core memories or fun experiences to look back on. So this time I went and had tons of fun, and over the next 4 months we spent much more time together, even going to more parties. They left for college soon after but the experiences I had in this time period were some of my most fun experiences, and it was all because I decided to accept that invite. Yapping session over
Amazing video. So simple but so interesting. Im happy i subscribed. But my fear of the unknown is going to new places or taking new paths to locations i go to. This has definitely inspired me to want to do that. I live in a pretty small town but its still like kinda big. And I havent explore everything in my town. So im go do that and maybe do other new stuff. Thank you for making this video.
I actually like the house a lot! The snow and the view combined gives a lot of vibes. Personally, I’m scared a lot about making friendships. I mean the one that tuns deep and last long. I often talk and meet new people, but to do something like to go to a hangout or to their place, I feel like I could never take the proactive at all. What if they instead dont want me there and I’m just annoying them instead, what if they only see me as an acquaintance? That’s basically it
I love how raw these videos are. They all have a meaning that can relate to everyone. The act of you explaining how you are progressing and maturing in real life really complements your world as you slowly progress. Keep it up, man. We're loving the content.
7:22 For a long time, ive wanted to travel to Korea cause I am fascinated by the Nintendo Comboy consoles. For those who don't know, Korea had a ban on imports from Japan between the mid 40's (no prize if you guess why) all the way up to the late 90s. One way Nintendo got around this was that they had a partnership with Hyundai where they made consoles in Korea to circumvent the import ban. The last console that was the Nintendo 64, the import ban was lifted before the Gamecube/Nintendo DS where released to the market. The consoles that where released where the Comboy, Mini Comboy, Super Comboy, and Comboy 64 All of these are based on the Euopean models of consoles.
It looks like so much fun, and one day I would love to, but I'm afraid of really trying to get to a point where I can perform my own songs as a singer on stage for loads of people. I'm confident In my songwriting but: I'm worried that my voice and technique won't ever get to a point where lots of other people can love hearing me enough to come and listen to a performance. I'm scared that my face isn't pretty enough to be shown to large crowds and cameras. I'm scared that it would take so much work and time that I wouldn't get to do other things while I am still young. I'm scared that I will waste my time on it and only ever end up with a damaged ego. I am putting this comment here on a random throw-away account, just to remind myself, that despite all of that, I have decided to try my best. So to anyone who reads this: I want you to hear one of my songs one day, I know you probably never will, but I want you to, and I'm gonna try until I have proven beyond any doubt that I can't.
honestly, as long as you live near forests, you can explore the unknown everywhere. i was able to find so many interesting things while just simply following a small stream of water.
hey niko, bulgarian here. I love it here and it has a truly beautiful nature and landscapes. I love your stories its a way i can relax while doing something. I just boot up a video you made and its oddly calm and inviting. Something im scared of is cave diving even tho im not claustrophobic and i love caves theres something about cave diving that sounds too scary and dangerous to me but yet i want to explore it deeply. Its just the potential dangers and even death that comes with it that’s terrifying to me.
i literally found your channel like 2 hours ago, watched all of your videos and now i get to experience a new vdeo, in which you mention my homeland and idk how to feel now lmao
I am currently living 9000 kmh away from home (i moved 6 days ago) and its so far been an aazing experience. But you dont even have to go this far, just going out of the house, exploring your own country, going to abandonded places, to places that not many poeple have been before (rooftops, tunnels, whatever), or sleeping outdoors in hammoks with a few friends. (I only once stayed at a camping place, but i have slept in parks and the nature all over Europe.) Just make sure you are not in an unsafe place and remember to not go alone if you are not 100 % certain
I really want to comment something because these videos are so great, but I have nothing to add. Keep making these videos, youtube really needs these right now.
every time i watch one of your vids, i genuinely become happy. You make me realise small little things in life i never did before. Also your house is cool.
I wanted to see the Nier: Orchestra live in concert, because I really to see a professional choir live, especially singing songs I love. Problem is, the closest one was in Atlanta, and I'm in Tristate. I asked a few people if they were interested in going with me, but couldn't find anyone. So I decided to go myself. It's coming up on March 29th, just after my 20th birthday. I've never gone on a trip alone, and I've never flown before. But I am excited for it (and because I am February is taking way too dang long) and I hope it's worth it
life rn is somewhat of a mess, and im slowly trying to get everything into place again, these videos have been helping me out a lot between college and problems at home... but with all that im now eager to get a taste of this unknown!!
This is what I’ve been working on for the past 6 months. There have been a lot of ups and downs but it’s been worth it! I’ve grown so much but I still have a long way to go. I’ve lowkey locked myself into a position where I’m stuck experiencing new things for a while 😂
I like your house Niko. concerning the question of what I am afraid of, I saw a service oriented vacation over the summer with one of those service programs. Basically you do service and then with your free time have fun. One of the activities listened was meditating with monks. I'm in the U.S currently so its quite far away but mediating with and meeting monks would be pretty cool, its been sitting in the back of my mind for the last month.
i'm braziliam, and i'm impresed with your videos, they're simple in edition, but the script and how you do your videos is so nice, have love there, i'm think in start do videos in this stile. i love your videos
As another niko, I am also exploring new territories of life, I'm gonna finally ask this girl out for valentines day. Btw I really enjoy your videos, keep up the grind!
hi niko, I'd really love to go on a trip to see the world! I'm from Germany, 19 years old, finished school a year ago started studying decided to quit and now looking for a job to get some money in. My initial goal was to start studying something else at the end of this year but I threw that idea aboard so I can go to Australia. once I'm there my plan is to work some more and then use some time to travel through the country and also some more time to travel through Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and depending on how much money I have Guatemala. I am, however, at the moment really scared of doing this. What bothers me even more is that I still do not have a job, I'm only looking for one but I could use the time right now already working and earning some money...
Your video talking about relationships appeared on my recommended in the moment when I´m thinking about my own. That video reached me and this one also did. Thanks, something in your voice and how comforting the words you say really reach me. I deeply appreciate you. I also like the ´uknown´ even though I don´t get to experience it as much as I want to. Thanks for being so genuine and btw your snow house it´s good (hay un poco de casa en tu nieve)
Your content really inspires and has inspired me to make and start making videos like these as well just on different topics obviously even if i will not be as good at explaining or anything at first, Its actually a really nice content format for people who like to watch this type of content, And its something i myself love to make content on even though it can be seen as a lazy way of making content, Good job for all of this content it feels really good to watch people just being themselves without forced editing and competitive videos nowadays, Just all natural classic youtube style like i used to see as a kid, I hope i can develop a fanbase myself as well with this as i really would enjoy making content like this often, I have many ideas to talk about in this way and i feel like my mindset is one a lot of people could relate to if people were to start watching me, However except just me, good luck with this channel man and hopefully it goes well and does not die out, Hope your fans stay and keep watching your videos, I sure will my man, And stay safe out there yk
A fear I have skydiving. When someone says that word, or I think about it, I get so much anxiety and just think about all the things that could go wrong. "What if my parachute fails" "What if you jump too low, too short, too high." "What are your last thoughts if your parachute fails" "Can anyone save you?" "What should you think." I know the chance is really low, but there is still always a chance.
Taking up space in the world. That's... I've thought about this while making food just now... I think the essence of it all right now. That's what I'm scared of. Whether that be physical space, or mental space, whether it be with others or myself. I... I don't even think I've fully taken up space in my own home right now. Tomorrow I'm going outside, partially because of my own homework. maybe I'll carve out a little space out there too for me. Move some rocks. Write something into the sand. Tell the world that I'm here, whether it listens or not... And maybe just for myself.
I live extremely close to a farily sized forest, and I love exploring it and finding new cool stuff. It's very calming, and I love to just think and reflect while going on walks there. (Thanks joka ihmisen oikeudet)
i've fallen in love with your channel and your way of treating topics man ive got this topic on my head for the better part of a year now and id love to hear your thoughts on it: its about loving others and how it seems so hard for me to express that feeling to them. i feel like nowadays its because of more judgement by others to mention one thing. maybe and most likely its just a part of growing up, having to fit in a certain way of behavior which at times makes it feel like there is no room left for emotion. anyways, id love to hear your or any commenters thoughts on it
ily so much niko ty for this content. it brings me back, i have exams soon, and i always procrastinate a lot. Nothing can save me. But i find your videos comforting. Thanks again❤❤❤❤❤
I like your video, you're able to talk about an interessting subject without a big scary title and a thumbnail filled with black and red. Edit: i just imagine like the ep 78 of this series where he's walking and jumping along a lot of piles of birch planks and cobblestone everywhere. Don't know why it's so tempting to just jump and sprint around in this game.
Actually my biggest fear recently is falling behind of people especially about learning foreign languages or studying on some other things etc. . I know that i can do it and i want to do it so bad but the thoughts about falling behind literally comes from nowhere and weakens all my morale and mood.
Another Niko W. Also the shock when i heard you have been in Bulgaria (my country), im glad you enjoyed it and i am very exited to hear the rest of your shenanigans in Bulgaria. Поздрави драги приятелю (pozdravi dragi priatelyo - best of wishes dear friend).
Two things, talking to people who actually like me in the 'i think you look cool and are cool' way, don't know why but i'm scared of doing that,and the second thing, talking more online i guess, since i'm brazilian that makes conversation online with other people who are not from here difficult sometimes, i just want to meet new people , have a 'squad' you know?, bunch people who i can call up to play a game together, as much as coop games are fun, playing them alone is getting rather depressive,oh and also doing more talking will make my english better, which is nice since i really really want to go to many places in the world
i wanted to walk from london where i live around scotland and back, while camping in a tent on the way (at least in scotland). I’m scared to do it bc what if i’m alone camping and i hear my name or something in the bushes in the middle of a forest or screamed through a huge field. Or other creepy stuff. But thanks for the video it reminded me of how much I wanting to do that
My biggest fear as a senior in high school is taking that next step. I so badly want to do it, but im afraid of taking the wrong starting step in the the world of opportunity.
One thing I would really like to do is to just move to the other side of the world for at least 1 year, but my fear is that it doesn't work out for some reason. It could be getting a job over there or not getting used to the culture. I'm from Germany, so I've been thinking maybe Australia, Japan, or South Korea. I think for example the culture in Asian countries is very fascinating, because it is very different to the culture here in Germany…
in the wooded area next to a dump i found some bottles with labels that say pepsi-cola on them. if wikipedia is to be believed, these bottles are from between 1898 and 1961.
your videos are always interesting, and i would like you to maybe talk about a topic i think people would find interesting, im talking about "fighting back" in terms of bullying, cuz theres people who sometimes remain quiet or dont do anything about it because they want to be the "good people". Keep up the awesome quality btw 💚
Thanks for these videos, they are really helpful and just super cozy :) I've personally been kind of scared to try gamedev as of recently? It's been a thing that was on my mind since I was a lil kid, I've always had this liking for video games and just I really liked how you can express yourself with them in a way? And I kind of want to make games just for fun n' all, maybe inspire someone with them somehow? Though I don't get why I am just scared to try working on them, it just seems like such a steep climb to get anywhere doing that and I hate that I just don't want to even try starting somewhere with it. Anyways, I hope whoever is reading this has an amazing day :D
i miss quietness after getting tinnitus quiet is gone analways there load as fudge high pitch tone in my head. pouring out of both my ears i miss quiet-ness trully
I am scared of putting ideas to paper that if i spend time on my own in my room creating a video game or a you tube channel i will miss more important friends/family moments
Yesterday my girlfriend broke up with me, and today is valentines day so thats a fun combo let me tell you, one night she took around 30 adhd pills that would lower her blood pressure because she wanted to end her life. It took about 10 - 15 minutes of me convincing her to call an ambulance when she eventually did and had her stomach emptied at the ER. Weeks later she “moves on”. It really be like that.
