When are going to reveal that you have reality altering superpowers, like this year is going swel for you! Like how? You most change reality subconciosly, teach me!!!
i suppose the present on a global scale sucks, but right now right here, you're probably fine, healthy and sitting in a room inside your house. thats good enough! i think we shouldnt want to be present in the whole world at once, be present in like the room you're in and you might feel less anxiety from stressful situations
thats three times now that nathan has prophesized the following year's disaster and im done saying coincidence. dude is straight up oracle at this point.
Don't wait until an opportunity passes you by! This has been a wake up call for lots of us. Hopefully in a way we can all be better people following this
i was looking forward to spring break cuz i live in sf but i got a friend who goes to davis and she was gonna come back for spring break and i was hoping to chill the most bittersweet part is she made it to sf but like a day later, self-qurantined....she lives in practically the same neighborhood as me and we cant hang...but least shes stuck at home vs her dorm, or well i imagine thats better
@@Trinlove love you, hun!! i know how difficult it can be but I'm so SO proud that you were able to shift your mindset! I'm so glad that you have these goals for yourself :'). also, remember that the bad days are completely normal! it's all a part of the journey 😉. here if you ever need someone to talk to 😊💓
the fact that i’m honestly quite comfortable in quarantine is kinda sad sometimes bc it reminds me that before this all happened i never really left my house to hang out or anything anyways lmao. but all this has given me time to focus on anything creative i’ve been wanting to do, and it seems to be the same for many other people so that’s p cool
Dude same boat..l I had been technically “self isolating” since New Years... I knew March was going to be busy with a lot of birthdays and parties so I basically took of seeing people for Jan and Feb to prepare... and then it never happened. Now weekends I can stay home and relax and not have to feel guilty about it because everyone else is in the same situation. It’s a really weird positive for me.
i'm so happy reading this, i've felt like such a bitch telling people i feel awesome when they ask how i am!! if anything i'm nostalgic just thinking of when this will all end... i've just been studying for my online exams and doing the reflecting i didn't have enough time to do because of classes, but otherwise this is just classic spring break for me. all i know is that i need to prepare for how bad my anxiety will be when the world reopens, but for now i try to focus on the progress i've made on the mental health front and read a lot more books than usual. hopefully we can all keep a little bit of quarantine xp with us after the world reopens!
Same. I’m home schooled any way, so I’ve had more than enough time to be patient with myself and reflect on things that public school restricted me from. And now, I have four plant children growing so that’s a plus :)
bro i can't believe it finally somebody talking about the joys of not having to talk to or text anyone. the lack of stress that comes from not being in a relationship. this reminded me why i've been a fan for 5+ years for real my dude u make a video once every solar eclipse but it's always worth the wait
girl, u have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I’m surprised but I know who you are. Welcome back, Nathan :))
What I like to do is the opposite of meditating. Just writing everything down that comes to my mind. No matter how little sense it make. Just allowing yourself to have this storm of thoughts and getting them out on paper. Like Shrek said, better out than in
I think you should read "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy"-- super interesting and relevant for anyone who's on social media and especially for these crazy times!!
So great seeing your face man. And honestly I couldn’t imagine being in a relationship right now I know there’s tons of positives to it. But I would lose my mind if somebody was under me or FaceTiming me 24/7 during this quarantine. 💀. Side note: I’m turning 25 in June and my cruise just got canceled for that month. I’m sad as hell about it but then again I’m getting my money back 😭🔥
Last year I graduated and moved back to my hometown for 3 months, which was the longest time I had spent there in 4 years. I had real trouble with being alone and away from my friends, on top of being single and no one hitting me up in the DMs whatsoever. I vented to my friend and she pointed out something that was really obvious but so crucial for me to think about: Do you want to solve the problem by learning to be more extroverted and making more friends? Or do you want to fix how you feel about being alone/loneliness and how easily you feel that? Once she said that, I knew I had to choose the second option. But what I actually did was the first because it was easier to do. I went on Tinder and went out a lot more, and it was fun for a while but honestly, a lot of those connections mean very little to me. I don't even talk to most of the people I met then. Worst of all, I kinda strung a guy on for months, because it worked as a sort of bandaid on our mutual loneliness at the time. This lockdown might last even longer than 3 months, so it really is time for me to confront how I cope with loneliness and how I treat other people because of it. Hope this little story helped you out a bit, I just thought this video resonated with me a lot and I know there are people out there dealing with the same stuff.
it's incredible how you just articulated EXACTLy whats been going on in my head and i just want to say thank you, this comforts me beyond anything and i appreciate it so much
when you said “I was binge watching new girl....” i yelled YEEEAAAAHH with a mouth full of hummus, i love that show so much! the taste sir!!!! he don’t miss!
you always deliver the right content when i need it, how to be good enough for myself, how to stay in my own lane and be happy with myself, how to tackle college, and now i've just gotten out of a relationship and im going through such a hard time and your videos are still here...you may not post often but when you do the timing is on point, i can't thank you enough haha
I love and share your views on being single and this made up fear of missing out. It's very refreshing to hear! This quarantine has actually been great for my anxiety, I'm not worrying about what some guy may or may not be doing, and just making the best of this lack of social obligations by drinking less and eating healthy. I do really want to get a haircut tho, not gonna lie.
LOVE everything about this video. There’s so much good stuff here. Something that I read a while ago applies to what you were saying about writing down truths and telling them to yourself, and it’s something that I try to remind myself when my depression is really getting me. “Reality is outside of my broken brain. It is defined by God’s word. It’s solid. Objective. Unchangeable.” It’s been really helpful for me to remind myself, and it may be helpful for you as well !
Thanks for the good video (been subscribed for years and I enjoy all your videos). What you speak here is how I feel too. Looking forward to the Pressure to be Productive in a Pandemic whenever you get it done. I very much enjoy how you keep it real!
Bro I swear you've been like a life coach older brother figure for me growing up. I started watching your vids when I was 13 and now I'm turning 20 in July that shits wild. It's like you're always going through the same shit as me but are just a few steps ahead in figuring stuff out. Gives me hope for working through my issues when I see you working through the exact same thing but just being a few steps ahead.
Been my favorite RU-vid since 2013 and I always look at you like the older brother I never had. You always give me the advice I always need. You always seem to release it exactly whenever I need it. Thank you!
Honestly I'm so deep into this social isolating and chilling and get annoyed when my mates want to zoom. This is my ultimate chance to live my best life pls let me
How the hell have I just discovered this dude? Where have you been all my life, literally finally an interesting RU-vidr who's legit intelligent and funny when they rant woop woop!
watched the video of sequencing, right before this. gotta say i'm not addicted to type of content, but for some reason you keep bringing me back. earned my sub. continue killing it.
realllllly needed this video right now. thank you for putting into words so many of the things i've been feeling and thinking about while making me laugh. appreciate it
Great video, Nathan! I definitely agree. Even though this is a horrible, difficult and uncertain time for everyone I like how it's forced everyone to finally slow down. It's helped me focus on what really matters in my life and to have time to reflect and take care of myself. Hope you're well, man! Stay safe.
Thank you for making this video. I'm a freshman in college...soon to be sophomore now ig and I really appreciate people opening up about the ridiculous pressure in college to have fun and always be making memories. Through out high school I was always really introverted, and when I started college I thought I had to go to parties and change myself to be super extroverted because that's what everyone did. I was miserable for about a semester because I didn't feel like I was doing college "right". It wasn't until second semester that I started really being happy after realizing that there is no "right" way to do college, just your own way. And also that sometimes prioritizing your mental health over "making memories" is far better in the long run because you will be less drained and irritable when you actually do hang out with people you like. It's too bad second semester got cut short for me lol.
dude i discovered your channel a couple days ago. Maaaan i can relate to everything you say in every video keep it up. Thanks for so much good content.
Nathan. Please. For the love of humanity please stop predicting the future. It’s getting kinda ridiculous now. But really this video is great so happy to see ya upload and I hope you and your fam are staying safe!
somehow, you always seem to make the video that i need to hear and i really appreciate that about you and your content. keep doing you Nathan, i can't even begin to describe how much your videos have impacted me and how much i relate to your experiences :,)
sounds like somebody's been going to therapy! or reading some great books which is what i think you do! either way i'm proud. you gave some really good advice. so happy to come back to your channel again. thank you
Happy belated birthday dude! Thank you for making this. Honestly love hearing your perspective on things and this was a great video for right now. Hope you holding up!
Love your perspective on all of this, one thing I was doing before this was just writing down 2 or 3 sentences about what happened in my day and how it made me feel. I definitely fell off but am going to pick it back up. Really important to focus on the present and the things that are actually real.
