lightninja- SuperTom looks like you’re gonna have to recreate that scene from the movie Twister when they’re strapped to a pole in the middle of nowhere dead center of a tornado. Only then will you get over your anxiety
I was 5 years old when 9/11 hit. I saw it by accident and didn't understand. In grade 11 my teacher made us watch disturbing footage of the day. Our plane also had engine failure once mid-flight and we landed safely but there was a loud bang and we had to turn back 4 hours into the flight. It was terrible. I've had crippling anxiety of flying ever since. I've had anxiety and panic over it since then and I've been terrified of flying since. I remember being on the plane with my mom and hearing some man talking about "5 minutes" and I started to panic and worry that they were going to do something.
Jesus i don"t even know what say that a lot i might be replying 2 years latter yet today but i feel bad and really that a lot to say i would like say thanks for telling us this u have been in my childhood for a while i often re watch and learn more and Ur the reason why i was so interested in horror games so thank you so much for making us smile and wonder about the world.

Matthew: Talking about his fear Everyone including me: Understanding Scott Cawthon: *Fool I know your weakness* Edit: Holy crap I though everyone was gonna hate me for this comment
Deltawarrior right? Just before all this I was getting really overwhelmed at work and I was like “I really need a break or I’m going to quit... I need time alone!” Covid-19: *I gotchu boo* Me: nononono this isn’t what I meant!
My regular coca cola addiction started getting me. I tried to quit cold turkey and the caffeine withdrawals were so bad my girlfriend thought I was secretly addicted to actual cocaine.
If you actually have that phobia, I relate with you for I've been close to death many times by second hand overdose by my drug addict parents! Luckly, I'm out of there now! Even if it means I had to be separated from my siblings!
“The single most effective treatment for phobias is exposure” Me: *walks into my wasp infested garden* UhHhH...Mat...I dont think this is worki-AAHHHHHHHHHHH
Hehe, no not that kind of exposure. But rather reading up on them, looking at pictures and being in controlled environments that allow for gradual exposure.
MatPat: to overcome phobias you need to face them Me with arachnophobia: oh HELL na I am NOT going near those Demons of Hell you call spiders God last time I looked at this it had like 18 likes
Does it? Does it really show his business side? Does it show the edited parts where he shows a script that he’s reading from instead of “from the heart”
Dogs can be quite scary. But we have to work through it😪 my boyfriend is pro ably getting a dog soon, so there is my forced exposure therapy🙂😨 and also my mum and sister want a cat and is going to get one. And I am even mora afraid of cats... but I know, exposure therapy is necessary and stuff. So guess I am gonna battle lots of anxieties soon. Wish me luck guys😅
I’m afraid of dogs too, it developed when I was 6 at the park. There was this hill that I loved going down using my scooter, one day there was this lady with her dog sitting on a bench near the hill. I started down the hill and just to let you know this hill was so steep and when you went down the hill on wheels you would be going so fast, so I went down the hill feeling the same way you feel on a roller coaster but then I felt a sharp pain in my thigh and fell down off the scooter. I slowly got up and looked around and saw that the lady who was sitting on the benches dog had bit me so hard that I was bleeding rapidly, the woman started apologizing as if that would reduce the immense pain or make this any better, I slowly limped to my dad who was at the top of the hill. He RAN down the hill, struck the fear of god in that lady, snatched me and my scooter, and brought me to the hospital to get 18 stitches, I screamed the loudest when they injected the numbing juice.
Since when did pat become a therapist? He's actually making some good points and I am not emotionally stable enough to handle the logic of his statements
There's a great article the BBC published where like 60% of British ppl surveyed said that even if the virus restrictions are lifted and the threat is gone, they would still be reluctant to go outside... I think that resonates quite strongly here
MatPat: “we have to rewind back to 2006 and I know that sounds like a long time ago but don’t worry” Me: *Born in 04* hmm yes my life ago welp didn’t expect this to get 500 likes
life is like a card game: you can influence the odds but in the end even when playing perfectly you might lose or even when playing the worst way possible you might win.
As a person with OCD the number thing didn't sound crazy. That's basically my life, just specifically for plane phobia. You are loved and you shouldn't feel ashamed about your fears. We are all a little mad sometimes.
@@sparky634 quinni was a very well known artist. She had 4x Open heart surgeries and cancer. She was a amazing and wonderful person who inspired millions of people. She sadly passed away on the 8th February i think...
Imma be honest Matt, when I read the title of “I’m losing control” I panicked thinking you were having severe mental health issues, don’t scare me like that.
Talking about airplanes; A youtuber called PhlyDaily who plays moslty War Thunder once told a very interesting story of how he may have prevented an airplane crash, in 2015. In short, he's into aircraft, and he knows that before a flight, the pilot and the ground crew do a check to see if all the plane's control surfaces are good, and from his seat he could see that even though an aileron was stuck at a downwards position, the plane was getting ready for takeoff. After several attemps he convinced the stewardess to talk to the pilot, whom came to ask him what he saw, then looked himself and went to talk to someone else. They ended up having to wait 3 hours while the plane was being repaired. So sometimes you do have some control But weirdest thing: if you go watch his video he says he was watching a youtube video when he noticed the aileron. From Game Theory...
Thanks for sharing this with us, Mat. It makes us feel included, and you're so transparent with your fans, as others have said. And I completely agree.
viperx27 Be safe. I hope wherever you’re working there are people that are grateful and appreciate that you and others are there able to help keep it open.
Pat. Being scared is normal. Everything has fears, everyone is scared. Fear is a defence mechanism so we dont die. Its natural to be scared, especially of losing control. Dont worry, its not wrong to be scared.
I may be extremely late but nonetheless this video came to me in a point in my life where I am letting fear control me. I mean granted I've had a couple of near death experiences (I'm 23 btw) but this showed me that I shouldn't be focused on the bad and that I should be grateful for literally every day even if it involves a shitty day at work. So for everyone who says Game theory is for kids and nothing else I say you're not open enough. These kinds of videos help all of us remember that just because you're a content creator doesn't mean you're invincible. Joycon bois for life. Also mattpat if you ever read this which I doubt you will considering how old this vid is I just wanna say You have made learning fun for me and that's why I've been watching you for 8 years now.
That would be all powerful honestly. If all FNAF lore was drawn to just one point then I’m sure world hunger would be solved, pollution would disappear, time travel would be known, teleporters and all future technology would happen in that instant. That’s why Scott Cawthon made FNAF so impossible to solve.
I do agree. Let's be all honest; we may think we have control, but we really don't. However, the only thing we do have control over is the ability to control our self, and it is all determined by your own decision and inner strength.
@@MrGameutopia1 Up to a point anyway... Your body at times can literally just nope out of a situation or nope into a status without your brain's conscious consent.
This kinda sounds like ptsd to me I am not a therapist but going thru a scary or traumatic experience (2006) and then being stressed and anxious about things like that happening again...i think thats ptsd But that's just a theory, a..psychological theory?
One of the few videos where I've almost cried due to the raw emotional energy, even through a phone/tv screen you can empathetically feel his emotion in these kinds of videos and I just want yo give him a hug and tell him its gonna be ok, almost like a parental response.
I absolutely hate heights to the point where when I was little and I would use a swing if I couldnt touch the ground or would be a little high I would begin freaking out and would either jump off try my hardest to drag my feet or legit just start crying and begging for help
I don't think a youtuber has ever been this relatable. I don't have fear of flying, but I do have fear. A fear of medicine. It kinda sucks cuz I have asthma and so I take a lot of medicines. I get nervous every time I take a pill or an inhaler. But in 19 days it will be 1 year since my sister's death. Death from an overdose
This is not a knock on him. But that makes him a great actor. He probably do feel that but if he wasn't able to convey it we probably wouldn't catch up on it.
The title should be: “I’m taking control” because honestly, it’s more about his recovery and his learning experience rather than just how it hurt him. I’m glad it has a somewhat good ending and Matt, I hope you know, we all feel you bro. Everyone has their frights. Cheers 🥂
@@Karan-zg9bm He didn't roast anyone. Read the comment again, he said "we", not "you". Did you even finish the video? How old are you? Nobody says OHHHHHHHH ROASTED unironically anymore.
matpat, as far as i’m aware you don’t have a podcast. you honestly should make one if it’s helping you by talking about experiences, don’t feel obliged to do anything but i would listen to it. #patcast
Id listen in. Theres a lot more hed be able to talk about as far as content. And podcasts can be pretty lucrative with the right amount of work put in.
Dude, this video was fantastic. It was great to see you open up about this sort of thing. It's difficult that we can't control what happens to us in life but we sure as heck can control how we react to these things.
True that. And when anxiety meets fear, it's way worse than this. It's amazing that he built coping mechanism to minimize his fear, because as much as I also hate flying, I don't have one since my fear based on acrophobia 😂
I thought this was an old video that showed up in my recommended for some reason. His Justin Timberlake look really gave me an existential crisis for no reasom
