HOW TO NOT ATTACH YOURSELF TO THINGS - this makes minimalism so much easier 

yes! well said

I love the quote!

yay! I'm so glad! thank you

that's okay :) you don't have to agree, I like that you took the time to listen to a different oppinion and to think for yourself what is and isn't important for you :)

welcome!

how sweet, thank you :)

this is the perfect time to evaluate all you have and all that you want to purge. We walk through life lighter and more stress-free when we just have less stuff ;) you can do this!

thank you

thank you!!

welcome to the family! :) thank you for your comment

welcome!

I haven't made as many videos on digital minimalism. It is an area that is often overlooked but just as importat. I have made these two in the past that focus more on using digital devices (like your phone) less: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l2U0-2cWqdk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-97a1EDaULzI.html

sadly that is the case for a lot of us :( It can be difficult pattern to break out of, but it is possible :)

I understand that this thought might not feel relatable. It took me a while to see this too. But what I am talking about is an unconscious, underlying attitude we have toward buying things. It's not like we walk around, consciously thinking: "Let me buy this to up my worth as a person". Only after some self-reflection can we see this underlying thought. Most of us are driven by ego and vanity in our everyday actions. Why else would we go out of our way to buy designer items? Rationally, they aren't better than any other item. If it's about looking good, why do we want to look good? It is to some degree to appeal to others, to be more favorable in their eyes. We all do this. There are many social experiments that show that our society values homeless people less. We might not rationally say that they are worth less as a person, but we often show it in our underlying attitude toward them. If this weren't true, our society would treat homeless people with much more respect. It is realizing that we do this that we can take the next step to change something about it.

@@CatchyCravings first of all, to get this part out of the way; while a majority of people may have a bias against unhoused people, this isnt an inherent fact of life that applies to everyone, its a product of the society we live in. some people never picked up on this attitude during childhood, and integrated it into their overall worldview. it isnt an issue that every single person has to work on, some never had the problem, or have already worked on it. also kind of insensitive to bring up an issue that leads to actual real life human beings dying every day in this video about clothes and objects. this isnt a neutral or casual subject, it should be handled with more tact. moving on. i have never bought a designer item at all. i dont have any underlying attitudes that make me want to buy designer items at all, i literally do not buy them and have never wanted to. i only own 6 articles of clothing (including 2 pairs of shoes) that are over $60. i try not to judge people who buy designer too harshly (simply trying to be nice to people who dont literally hurt others), theres always the possibility they may like the appearance of the object itself; but i find a lot of these things ugly, and i sometimes look down on people who buy things for status rather than practicality. i dont like how a white shirt that says "supreme" in red looks, so i buy different shirts. i dont like how a brown bag with "gucci" plastered all over it looks, so i buy different bags. i dont like how iphones break often, are hard to repair, and simply how they function, so i dont buy iphones. i do not do these things. i dont know how to get it across to you that i literally do not do the same things that you do. i do not think the same way you do. i also have unusual tastes that most other people dont like, its for me. while there are of course other underlying feelings fueling my personal taste, not everyone has the exact same factors that lead to them buying certain items. you assume i must have the same underlying feelings you do, and just havent examined myself enough to realize that. which is a really wild leap to take, it is a lot more statistically likely that i was just born different, had parents that said and taught me different things, grew up in a different physical environment, went to a different school, and have different friends currently. what im mainly trying to say is, dont assume everybody on the entire planet thinks the same way as you. "WE" dont. you have a very narrow minded view of the world, and are somewhat self centered. i would have just closed the video and moved on if you said things like "*I* often subconsciously buy items to improve *MY* worth, if there are other people who also have this issue, these tips might help" instead of implying all ~8 billion people on the planet earth can relate to you, personally. note the amount of times i use the word "we" in my comment vs the amount of times you use the same word do in yours. im a different person from you, with different problems. im a stranger on the internet, you dont know what goes on in my mind. your experiences are not universal

Actually, , no one gives a f*, you can stop virtue signaling already.

@@MuffinFanThe1st In a comment trying to establish your Unattached Specialness, you seem to be EXTREMELY attached to the concept of this video. Go outside and take a break! Or make your own video - I'd like to hear your take on this :)
