It is nice just to listen to him talk. He is a very intelligent and inspirational guy, and I always find myself sort of relaxed when he speaks (which probably sounds weird).
I wish, so much, he would do another video like this. Its so inspriatonal and its nice to just see Chis as Chris, not like Chris "The famous guy". Just him, talking. It was nice :)
I loved Chris Evans before I saw this and now I know he truly is my inspiration and hero. As Captain America and as a human, he makes me want to be a better, more understanding person. He is so real and genuine and I really relate to his anxiety. His family means the world to him and I relate so much with that as well. I wish him all the best and hope to find a man with the same kindness, understanding and values.
+Alyssa Mathews That is very well said. It's great to know that there are people out there who believe in the same things you do. I hope you do find someone like him. Every woman would be blessed to be called his girl.
Chris, you mentioned in another video that you'd have liked to have said "shhh" to your worried, rattling brain at 12 years' old. I am wondering whether you were subject to some trauma at that age? Bullying at school, maybe, or something else? Something, or a few things in your teenage years, perhaps, that traumatised you? I have an idea, although I could be wrong, that daydreaming or worrying about the future, not being in the Now, is called dissociation (due to trauma) and if you get to 'the root of the root', (as Kati Morton, a brilliant psychotherapist who has her own RU-vid channel says), with a good therapist, your mind will start to worry less. At least this is what I am hoping in my own same struggle, in my journey with a really good therapist. I hope this helps. I think you're a really wonderful, smart, compassionate guy and I'm really glad you enjoy doing what you're doing, acting. Long may it continue! Love, Mary
It's very sweet of you how you support Chris Evans and love him so much we all do especially me we all think that he's cute good looking and very handsome personality and that's the way we like it 😊😊
Same , I also relate to him😊 but whenever I comment it people say that your a liar , f**k you , your account should be deleted . it feels bad😞. And I just want to say that Alyssa your really sweet❤️❤️ and I wish you find your happiness😍 and a guy like him😊
Honestly if Chris decided to take a different path at some point I think he would make a great therapist!! All of this I’m sure helps him to be a better actor as well.
He ties his thoughts together so eloquent and effortlessly it’s mind blowing. You would think you’d be distracted by his physicality but I was more in tune w/ his wisdom and it resonated in a way I didn’t think it would when I first saw the video. He truly is an all around genuine human being ❤️
Wow. I did not see that coming from Chris Evans. He always seemed like a good person inside out but just a simple fun guys. Look at all that depth in him!
This is wonderful therapy in itself. People with anxiety just can't shut down the thoughts imediately, when I have brain noise myself I tell myself to just keep quiet and shut up or evaluate why I'm so anxious but that just makes the noise louder because I'm thinking about it. But what Chris said, bless his wondeful heart, with "shhh..." it's calm, quiet it makes you feel present and kinda distracts you from those thoughts for awhile and eventually it doesn't even matter. So, thank you very much for this, it would help me. :)
Same it happens with me as well and I get so irritated I tell my brain to Stop!!! And it gets louder and I try to talk so the voice can stop after some time it starts again And I watched this video earlier and I have been trying this and it work's .
I struggle with anxiety and I really appreciate seeing someone in mainstream media who so obviously wins this fight every single day. Because it gives me hope that I can consistently win. Thank you for this, thank you for being such a hero.
Chris will likely never read this comment, but I'm going to say this anyway: Thank you. Thank you thank you a million times. I cannot tell you how much I needed to hear this or even why.
His voice is so calming. Hes just SO open about his issues. He just has that aura that tells people it's ok and everything's going to be all right. I love him. Not cause of how he looks or who he is as a actor, but cause hes chris. Just chris. And his personality is what is the best. I listen to this when I feel sad or depressed or anxious and it reminds me I'm not alone as well as calms me down. I just close my eyes and listen. His being, even on video, makes me feel comfortable enough to just break down and let things out. And if I dont break down, I usually start dozing off. When he says "shhh"i melt. Nothing has done that. Nothing. This just makes me want to cuddle him and not let go. Hes just so comforting like this. So vulnerable. Ugh. It sucks that I cant hug him or thank him in person for being just chris and thank him for everything.
I feel you! When I first saw this video, I desperately wished he did more talks/Q&As like this because there truly is something so comforting and therapeutic to the way he speaks his mind especially in regards to spirituality and mental health. I love coming back here when my brain noise gets overwhelming. I hope everyone who struggles with anxiety has something similar they can revisit, like Chris says he does with the Eckhart Tole books.
Beautiful human being in all senses....May God gives him all the joy and happiness he deserves. the book he´s talking about is Siddharta, written by Herman Hess.
While watching this video, I felt like I am sitting in front of him... I completely forgot that this is a video... Damn... He is so friendly and calm... Love you Chris...
He is incredibly smart, and it is so awesome to see his depth and humanity. He also has some really good advice. I have anxiety and a whole bunch of other lovely mental disorders, and at least half of them can be boiled down to "Shhh." If the thoughts come, it's fine, but let them go. You'll "shhh" soon enough. It's super difficult to put into practice, but it's so worth it. He should really do more of these videos. I'd friggin' pay for 'em because this is quality advice.
he has such a soothing voice , ive been struggling with almost daily panic attacks recently and its videos like this that help me feel calmer. gotta love cevans
Everytime I feel down, I come and watch this video to make me feel better immediately. Chris is such an amazing, inspirational man. I can't thank him enough for helping me become a better person.
What he said about realizing that other people have these same thoughts and whatnot really resonated with me. I have often felt very alone while surrounded by people, and just knowing that I'm not the only one who has felt and thought similar things is so comforting. Eckhart Tolle has become a vital part of my life because of Chris' candor, and I thank Chris for making this video.
Wow this guy is one of those people you want to have in your life. I’ve always liked you before but now you’re my inspiration. Hope all the best things are coming your way.
I never felt so calm before...like I'm freaking out before my exams rn and listening to this, listening to him just telling us to shush our minds and just be present and calm down really really helps. Great, great advice, Chris. I really shushed my mind to calm myself from all the nerves.
My greatest appreciation for your kindness. At this difficult time it's so nice to feel valued, thank you for being a great fan, keep up the good work as I bring more interesting movies on the way, I'll love me on my email on the To keep up to date. Chrisevans4858@gmail.com I will kindly be waiting for your reply soon
Captain America has always been my favorite but learning how Chris handles his own fears almost the same way I do with it fills me with determination to get further ahead with myself he’s iconic
I actually cried watching this. This is exactly what I needed right now. I’m so glad that we are able to see another side of Chris and it’s absolutely beautiful. He is an angel in disguise :’) Can’t thank him enough! Love you boo ❤️

I need more therapy sessions with Chris - this was incredibly helpful and life-changing. He's so thoughtful and insightful, and is clearly a deep thinker. He seems so down-to-earth, like a friend you can stay up talking about life with till 3am.
I watched this at thirteen i remember finding this so inspiring because when was talking about ego and staying present i was going through that at the same time. I swear this was the reason I started to love chris evans lol.
omg I never do this but like a year ago(I already have major anxiety )and something happened where I felt suppperr insecure about myself,I started freaking out and crying,my family tried to calm me down at first but I was still sad. i was looking at some Chris Evans funny videos to calm me down when I clicked on this video. god,this video helped me a lot. I listened to his words like I never did before. truly,he did help me. I was so grateful I wasn’t the only person dealing with this,it calmed me down so much. I’m forever grateful for this man and his inspiring words 💗😌
I didn't know I needed to hear this until it was posted. I have depression and anxiety (I've been in the hospital because of it) and Chris is absolutely amazing and I would love him as a therapist. He's a complete angel that's too pure for this world 💕 WE MUST PROTECT HIM ❤
He is full of unparalleled wisdom and have the best personality. His inner and outer self is just completely filled with Magic. Love this man to infinity and beyond

Nela I already know that but it’s called a question and I was wondering and I was being nice and I did find out which he said on a talk show that he was born a catholic but had a great interest in Buddhism because of some issues he had with questions about religion and he says the movie London that he in he said the character he was he related to and the issues he had in real life about religion on a talk show and me myself found myself like him in his journey about religion and connecting to Buddhism So please don’t judge or put rude comments towards people if you don’t know what their intentions are and I know he is trying to be the best he can be but so am I and he is like a role model and someone I look up to So if you don’t have anything nice or constructive or to answer the question don’t say anything And why did you just go through the comments to find that comment to tell us that if we already know that cause we all watched this video and also around 50% of this video was about religion so I find my question was relevant and nice as that’s what the video is about so I myself was in the same situation as him before and when he shot for the movie London about religion was just wondering So be nice as you don’t know what someone intentions are or what they are going through thanks
I suffer from borderline since when I was 17 years old. I am now 27 and man..it's a fight each time, each day....with brain and emotions....it's hard to understand what to do, what to feel and also why to feel a certain thing. I always tried to fight back it when I was aware that something was kinda off in my brain. I always felt as there was something aside me and that's what he said. The Ego. I tought to be stupid to think about it... This is so real and damn the "Shhh" practice, so simple yet powerful. So inspirational....
This is so inspirational, I feel like I'm really calm right now and it's just for him, I really truly admire him after watching this video, I can't believe how smart he is and when you look for videos of him everything is so superficial and it's not even his fault, the media is ridiculous
everytime I feel depressed which is almost every day I watch this and this genuinely helps me so much, just his voice and his advice everything. He helped me so much ❤ thank you Chris 💋 such an amazing human being. I'm so lucky to have you in my life even though you don't know me but you still help me. My inspiration, my love, my idol 💚
This is so interesting to me! I so enjoyed this talk. My brain is noisy and critical of not achieving perfection all the time. I have anxiety and relate to every single thing he relayed. I have so much respect for Chris and where he's at in the process called life. I've found joy and peace in Jesus and hope the same for him one day. That being said, meditation and his searching for understanding is so important for physical, psychological, and spiritual health and development. What a sweetie he is!!!
I can’t believe i’m passing through the same Chris passed when he was 15, I just want to thank him for everything he has done for me, all the smiles, laugh, and for real reflecting times, thank you for demonstrate you are more than a beautiful face, your soul is incomparable and I can hace more in life than only confort Hope he read this, saludos desde Ecuador
this is my favorite video. first for the ideas and the whole being that chris is talking about. it really helps to learn to know myself and to evolve from this place to be what hes describing in this talk. second, for all the amazing people that left really deep comments here that made me see that there are other people like me and thet im not alone. i know hed propably will never see this comment but i wanted to just say thank you chris and all of the other people that relate to these ideas. you give me hope and make me believe in life. THANK YOU.
I didn't know that I needed this video in my life. Honestly, my mind is running all the time and this chat session just made me feel like it was all going to be okay. Thank you, Chris.
chris be your own guru. if you were to find yourself in the middle of nowhere like the wilderness you would not be able to look to no one else but yourself for the answers you need. once again those answers will only come from your innerself/soul. that part of you is always with you. meditate to that and you will start to see a wonderful flow in your life. its harmony. that's what you felt. that's your guru. your TRUE guru. and thanx again for your share. very soul searching.
"i knew better, but i wasn't living that way" (just one of the amazing things that he has said) WOAH this man is something else >: i wish ill meet him someday
Eckhart Tole. I still read some of his work and it's amazing how this guy is talking about the concept of ego as controlling this is one of the biggest challenge and one that can last a while. Fulle respect to Chris for being an individual who recognises this.
When he said he is afraid of not finding true happiness, like love. Really made me tear up, I want a gorgeous woman who wants what he wants. I hope she comes into his life soon.
This man is full of knowledge and light.. the way he speaks is just bold and wonderful.. whatever he has spoken is so full of wisdom... really helpful for people who have anxiety issue..lots of love to you Chris from India.. really happy u visited my land... hope you come back again.wanna see u just one time
This video helps alot especially for the people like me who have anxiety issues , every night a voice starts talking in my head and sometimes I get tired of it I try to talk so the voice can stop but it's start s' again and when I saw this video earlier and tried what Chris said and it helps now I am able to sleep much better . Thx to Chris❤️ for making this video , I hope he makes another one like this one
How many of us can relate to him and how he thinks? I do. The thing i dont understand, is how come when it's celebrities and artists talkin and opening up about them, how they think and stuff like this or what they've been through.. most people would relate, care or feel so much empathy, understanding, love and respect for them. But when it's us normal human beings who open up to our friends or people close to us about stuff like this.. either they judge you, laugh at you, call you weird or crazy? lol It's fucked up at times. But there's alot of celebrities and artists out there who has stories i can totally relate to. We're all human. We should be loving, helping, accepting respecting, and treating each other equally. You feel me?
Very true about what he says. I hear eckhart tolle in his answers but also his knowledge/experience with anxiety which I can relate with. The mind wants to comprehend everything is so true. I’m a daily meditator (2yrs) and it’s helped me for sure to learn about the calm state. But hearing this too affirms that there is nothing to figure out. Figuring it out is not the means to live life. Just being is a gift in itself. Of course it takes time to actually believe this but it’s good to hear from Cap that there is no need for an answer. It’s already here.
i truly cannot explain why but every time i get to hear him talk, like really talk, i literally feel my shoulders relax and i lose so much tension in my face and it just brings me such intense contentment. ugh what a fuckin legend
He is so deep and instropective. He thinks in pattern, concept and philosophy. He sure an Intuitive type (mbti theory), he seems to be an introvert too. I guess his type is infj or infp. Im infj too and i has similar struggle with my mind. How can he be so perfect
I can’t believe I was watching Chris Evans, its someone whose philosophical, someone who’s struggling with brain noises just like me, someone who’s wanting to find out reasons to be happier in life ❤️ wow! Besides being one of the greatest actors in the industry I am stunned he’s such a natural and likely human being. Surely his inner beauty reflects and that’s the reason everyone loves him 🥺💜

The "Shh" could have seriously changed my anxious brain forever. What a sage piece of advice. Never really paid any attention to Chris before, but he seems like a really amazing human being.
I hear static in my head often. Whenever I hear it-- thanks to this video-- I hear Chris Evans' soothing "shhh" instead of my brains' "shut the fuck up." I've never heard anything more true then this, honestly. Wise words coming from a wise man. And yes, he certainly should do a TED talk. I'd love to hear that.
Surrendering to our fears and allowing the self to be in the presence of those things are really important for our internal growth. I love how he sees it that way too. Finding time to quiet the mind will bring inner peace.
I ve no words to explain how grateful i am feeling after getting to know about him through out the times. And his spiritual part touched me the most. Wish he would come to India frequently.
I'm striving to do this myself. After some personal reversals, I'm hoping to get myself to this stage. I truly do wish Scientology would follow this route. They want to be perfect out of the gate, not fallible. Chris Evans is proof that you don't have to follow an ideology, rather, just be. Simple and honest. Thanks Chris.
+Bucky'sGirl I choose the team because of what i think is actually right not because of the actor that plays them. Chris Evans seems like a nicer person than Robert downey Jr. I think if it was real and super heroes existed i would still probably side with Captain America but because of the character
MentalMonkey2525 Robert Downey Jr is such a nice guy from what I heard. Yes, he had drug problems but he cleaned up his act, got to play one of the best characters in the Marvel universe and he gives away to the less fortunate. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
+Bucky'sGirl No I didn't mean he was a bad person I just meant Chris Evans seems nicer. RDJ never really makes as much jokes and Chris Evans always seems funny in interviews. You implied that you picked a side because you liked the actor better but it doesn't matter I don't want to get into an argument
I have no desire to get into any Hollywood actors head. I know of an angel that has perfect outward beauty and radiates in light. He too has a smooth sounding voice that lures people to listen.
