Thankyou, for more than you realise. 

People are subscribing because we identify with the channel. There's a lot of resources about 20-something TFLs, but what happens when that individual turns into a 30-something or even older? I'm grateful for people sharing their experiences with these kinds of videos!

Adam, what you offer is a genuine dialogue about the struggles many people are facing today. Be kind to yourself, we're rooting for you

Subscribed from Australia brother 🇦🇺 We are all in this journey together as men.I like how you express gratitude in your video to your viewers 🙏

- Don’t look at success in measurement of years or months. Look at success by day, by hour. Have you ever studied Henry David Thoreau’s life? He never had a steady career, never owned a house, bounced around a few professions, lived mostly with his parents. Most of his recognition came after his death. Alan Watts had a great quote- “The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.“

Appreciate your honesty, as a 30 year old man life has it’s challenges but I’ve subscribed myself due to your honesty and openness

Adam, I am your age with 3 small children, my wife of over a decade passed away recently. I know the challenges you face are different from mine but we all have them, but right now, I’ve got a decent handle on things, my kids are doing ok, and I am doing ok. The only way I got to this point was putting 1 foot in front of the other and do what you can to keep moving forward. You only lose if you give up. Don’t give up. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I like the honesty, maybe u have struggled in ur life, but never give up, maybe being a youtuber is your thing! Its never too late bro, keep going!😁

Can we make this guy a youtube millionare?

If there is anything that subscribers/viewers appreciate, it is honesty and being a genuine person. That is simply because it is getting increasingly more rare nowadays, peace man.

It takes balls to put yourself out there man you're helping others and speaking for so many. Best wishes to you! We're gonna make it!

you dont seem like a failure to me. you seem very well educated, well spoken and genuine

The value that you provide is an escape from reality in terms of the burden to pretend that you are okay, essentially you made a video that comes from the heart and is truthful, it represents what a lot of other people recognise and feel and they share that same sentiment and are now interested in you and what other content you might make.

I'm truly feel your pain I'm 35 and I just don't want to wake up anymore I feel like life is a nightmare sleep is true peace true serenity

Bro really said “I don’t have anything to offer people” … let’s change that language and perception my homie! People are here because you DO have something to offer. Your vulnerability, honesty, intelligence. People are here for that. Keep going and let’s all look at ourselves more positively

People are subscribing, Adam, for the simple reason firstly that they like you - you're an open, honest, obviously intelligent and articulate man. Then they're also subscribing because they hope for a positive outcome for you, and it seems to me as your journey progresses that that outcome is just around the corner. You're an engaging, bright and personable person that anyone oughtz to be pleased to know. Go well.

I'm a 31 year old female who feels lost too and am struggling with meaning and purpose. If I could give you a hug I would, you deserve all the happiness and contentment in life and you matter 😊

I frankly don't know why your video was recommended to me, but I watched it and thought "there's an ACTUAL HUMAN BEING on the internet". These days things feel more and more synthetic, and it was refreshing to hear your relatable story.

People are subbing because so many can relate to you lad. And honestly, you’re quite a natural in front of a camera I must say, like, you’re a really good host/presenter of what you want to say. Keep the content going who knows where this might lead you to.

I started studying Ecology when I felt lost in life, because nature has always made me feel most alive and at home. Last year it all made sense to me when I had this realisation of what makes me TRULY passionate. That is nature. It has always been nature. My whole life. I had just forgotten it. I’ve moved to a different province due to my studies and it has been the best year of my life so far. I’ve met the most amazing people and spent almost everyday in the forest studying plants, trees and animals. My life is very simple, and seemingly boring to most because of my solitude. I love it. I love it because I live through my heart now and not the mind. Thanks for your effort and don’t forget to venture into nature whenever you feel lost. It’s the noise from society that makes us ‘think’ we’re a fail. Turn off the noise. Keep making videos from the heart Adam. I subscribed to you!

Thank you Adam! Thank you for sharing and take care.

Ppl crave authenticity and you have it🎉

This is really good. I think a lot of people out there who are depressed don't know how to talk about it, and this helps. It's an example of someone being vulnerable, but also a bit brave. You may feel like a weak, depressed piece of crap, but putting it out there like this shows some strength, and it shows other depressed people that they might be able to do the same - even if it's not online, and just talking to someone that they know personally IRL. Thank you 💪

Keep showing up. You can’t be beaten if you won’t stay down. Figure out what you want to do, and grind away. We want you to progress.

We all need help to get this!!!

Today's society is unfortunately excluding people. Your video is an including force. Do what you like, what you feel, what you dream. If you follow yourself even without anyone else you know in the end that you followed yourself and you will have a good conscience and that is important for one's wellbeing.

I can’t speak for anyone but myself when I say this, But as a fellow human, seeing you make and take steps to improve your life that you had previously started at rock bottom at 35 at, in real time, proves that others can climb out, and while it isn’t easy, they too can improve their lives. I know that I can definitely empathize with the spot you were in a year or more ago (35), and having done a lot of steps to change where I’m at over the last few years, It’s really satisfying and gives a lot of hope. You seem like a genuine person, and I think it’s not hard to see from my view why you’re starting to gain traction. I hope the audience continues to appreciate you and add to a sense of accountability and community in your journey. Best of luck, man. It’s a hard road sometimes, but everybody’s on it, in some way, And you’re definitely an example of it working.

You've helped me

Sounds like you're on the right track, Adam. Aim for contentment and acceptance of yourself. You have more than many, less than some. Good luck

🎉🎉🎉

Maybe this was your Calling all along. Thank you for sharing and for letting me know that I am not alone. Much love to you.

Sometimes you just have to BE!

Subscribed! Im here for your honesty x

I’m in a similar situation mentally as you and of all the self help videos I’ve watched, after all the advice I’ve heard, just watching a few of your videos about you feeling the same way across the world in a totally different setting helped me more than you know. We’re going to be okay man. I’m doing it with you. Thanks for posting updates. Keep going please.

Man, you say you have nothing to offer on RU-vid but you are proving otherwise. You are very articulate and intelligence, and you use this to express your hardships and views on the world.Who knows, RU-vid could be exactly what you are good at, you'll only find out if you keep at it, and I'm sure you will find things to talk about along the way. Hope to see you continue uploading, and congrats on 1K subscribers

It takes a literal "MAN" to admit like you do. Cowards hide. You are ready to sacrifice "appearence" by being total honest with us "strangers". But by doing so, you literally help others, who maybe feel the same and show them "you are not alone", uplifting them. So basically you come forward to take the punches and help others with it, which in my book is the manliest things you could possibly do. It takes guts to come forward like this and i respect that, sir. god bless you.

you deserve everything you want! Greetings from Germany

I've seen a couple of videos like this before and I do sort of identify with yourself and your predicament. I live alone and I'm 28. I feel very sad often and just feel like I could be getting more from life.

You're a brave and kind man. Thank you for putting yourself out there and helping others. We need more genuine people like you. Keep it up and don't let the ego win. Always remember why ypu are doing this and Im sure your videos will continue to be great

People subscribed because you are honest brother. Long forgotten value to many.

Bro, we have a scary amount in common, right down to sharing a first name. I can relate to everything you're saying especially the "trying to escape from my mind". One book that helped me beyond all measure with that stuff was Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now. And by the way, I think the reason people are resonating is down to your refreshing nature of just being yourself and speaking from the heart - something severely lacking in the content of today. So just keep on being you, you're doing a great job!

This is from someone who could be considered "alpha." It does not matter what you look like or how successful you are. Sometimes that success never ends up fulfilling you. We all face the void at some point in life, and it can feel like the void has swallowed us whole. But hearing someone speak honestly about their own experience is worth more than watching dozens of stoicism videos, self help gurus, books, you name it... there is just so much noise. It can never compete with a real person. It helps to put things into perspective in the most genuine way. Thanks for sharing, it has helped me as well, more than you realize.

chin up fella, you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Mate. I just subscribed and liked some of your videos and I just wanna say I’m that big alpha guy you talk about with muscles and beard and tattoos over. I am the kind of person you think that have it all and is happy or whatever you think. The grass is not greener on the other side my brother, my friend I feel just like you with no partner no kids 39 years old I I am self-employed. I have two businesses but depression, anxiety is always a part of me for some reason and now for 10 or 15 years, some imposter syndrome, or feeling like I’m not good enough is just filling my brain up more and more. Keep uploading. Keep on being honest and real. You speaking like this from your heart is something very few men can and want to do. I tried but I’m too self conscious or scared of being judged and so on. I look up to you in that way. You are not alone. Never give up Kim, Denmark Btw. Im recently diagnosed Bipolar, ADHD and on the spectrum, sooooo that explains a bit :)

Stay real, stay humble, and you'll find a way. Make as much money as possible over time (much easier to say than to do of course), and try self-improvement as best you can. And don't abuse things that give you instant gratification like drugs. Good luck

Don't give up. Everyone's got issues, life's a horror y'know? But no matter what happens *don't give up.* We need to keep moving on so we don't lose ourselves. Humans relate to each other and having trouble finding solutions for things that are out of our control can be devastating, I know. But It's the struggle, the journey that matters, man.

You are a very real person. One can tell, when you speak, you do it with your heart. Just don't always expect women or people to recognize your value and express that to you, sometimes we have to be able to look at ourselves and see our own worth.

Yeah, it's simple, you're honest about your struggles with meaning and purpose. I certainly have these struggles, and I'm sure most people have these feelings at some time to some degree. I think it's part of being human - human beings need to feel that their lives have some sort of purpose, otherwise, what are we here for? It's very admirable that you've got the guts to video yourself talking so openly about your feelings and struggles and to publish it to the world.

I just subscribed today. I am 25 and I am feeling stuck. At times, I have no motivation to get my day started or what to even do with my day. My life is on hold due to circumstances, but I'll do my best to do what I can. Keep doing this content. It does help a lot of people. 😊

you are REAL. Thank YOU!

34 here. Just found your channel. I'm in a similar position and trying every day ❤

It doesn't take long to see you're a good guy. That's why I subscribe. Plus I empathize. Carry on my friend.

Thanks for the realness mate, stumbling across your videos has genuinely helped me a lot. Start a podcast bro!

Fuck a Mr Alpha, you said it best "being the best you can be" so many of the dudes you described don't even have the contentment you mentioned. Keep seeking that Start with your goals and then the steps you can take to get there, you say you've failed at life yet yours is far from over. Keep going, king 👑

Subscribed. Realist guy on RU-vid.

Your voice is so beautiful! You have a very calming tone and way of talking.

God bless you man, God will always be with you no matter what, he is all you need.

Wise words.

Haters gonna hate, just gotta keep on rolling. You ask why? Because I struggle too and you being open allows me to be open too. You DO deserve this. I have to ask why you think you don't deserve kindness? Does anybody deserve anything? it seems like humans make up those rules as we go along. I could probably spiral off into some philosophical debate about justice here but do know that from everything I've seen you absolutely deserve kindness, if only you could believe that and be kind to yourself. Stay strong bud, cheers from Canada!

What you said at the end ‘I want to escape my mind’ I understand exactly what you are getting at here. Although it’s not an ‘escape’ and maybe to want to escape isn’t exactly the point, but what I’ve done is gone down the road of meditation, doesn’t even have to be religious, but it’s helped me tremendously. Would highly recommend man. Good luck with everything ☺️

This totally real content here. I'm so sick of the celebs, high life, success stories on fb. This is raw and real.

There's gotta be a good good place somewhere!

something about the background of this video is just great

We completely understand you brother, i row in the same boat as you, i turned 35 last month , i have a decent job with decent pay just to keep things going , not married but thats ok , and that should not be the centre point of our disappointment. My mindset is similar to that of yours.I do not want to be extremely wealthy and thats not my motive either.Need to be happy and content from where i stand in my life and as long as i have a roof over my head ,money to pay the bills and satiate my hunger i am more than happy with my life.Never expect too much from life because there is nothing to be taken seriously from my standpoint..wish you good luck brother..we are all in this together...peace out.

You are a hero

You're an inspiration, mate.

I’m so glad I found your channel 🙏thank you for doing what you do

You communicate clearly and honestly. You've created engaging and interesting content. Keep it up man!

You offer your genuine self and many relate to you. Keep going, keep strong. People including myself learn from your story and know there are many of us out there whose lives haven't turned out as planned or visioned and are lost. Your videos help us out of that darkness. I love what you said, contentness thats all I'm looking for too. Society has definitely not helped in telling us we need to be "happy", i strive for day to day contentness now. Keep strong dude!

Keep fighting the good fight brother. Don’t let anyone get you down.

I've just watched the other video, I'm also English and I'm ten years younger than you. I was abused in multiple ways as a child and throughout my formative years a had horrible toxic friends that put me down and used me to make them feel better about themselves. I've got one freind and for a long time i thought that was pretty sad but ive come to realise that im luckily to have him in my life because there are people how exist, essentially, entirely alone. Although you may have failed in most of you're endeavours, try and appreciate that you have the ability to get up and fail.

We are here to see you, better place physically,mentally and spiritually, you have taken step to share your struggle and I believe that you will find contentment you are looking for yourself

For tens of thousands of years we all existed in tribes living in the same place as eachother from birth to death. Its only a recent western sort of idea that you move out of the house. You are awesome. Your value is offering relatable conetent. Also ur awesome bro. Be you. We dont have expectations bc were hust getting an impression of you

what a sweet down to earth person

Thank you for sharing :)

You're a motivation to me because you are very pure-hearted not like some other "men" out there ❤

I subscribed because you are smart, kind and just maybe we like you as a person in a non creepy way. You dont need to offer anything. Accept the process, friend. Much love

honestly youre already a person you can be proud of. Obviously youre intelligent and honest which is rare these days so dont undersell yourself. as you said do something for yourself ! You need to be your own best friend too you know, cheer on !

I find myself exactly in the same spot man, really far behind, feel entirely separated from society and watching the world go by unable to figure out how to all make sense of it. I think you far stronger then you will ever give yourself credit for. There is a lot of folks who of they lost what they had would just flop but you still here and still going and that shows tremendous character, I'm autistic and find getting through life a major issue, I have lost almost everything from this not panning out right and it's still here, sometimes you feel like you the only one in the world when you step outside into the world and what see what's going on around you, I find life hard to figure out and I came from the army entirely lost and confused friends all but gone and the issues continue to plague but I am glad to see you still pressing ahead cause this stuff does a great deal for not only but those around. To the world your actions may not mean a lot, but to someone's world, they could mean everything. Keep going lad!

Hello from Newfoundland! New subscriber. You are doing good work with these videos it really is a good outlet for people to come together and help 1 another and make us feel like we’re not doing this life thing alone

I clicked on your first video because I could relate. I’m 28 and severely mentally ill due to childhood trauma. I have no friends or family, can’t afford to rent, not a priority for social housing, never had a proper job and generally can’t function. It feels like the end of the road for me. I hope things get better for you 💜

I am obsessed with your attitude towards life, Adam.

I’m one of those who subscribed from the first video! You’re not much older than me, but I can relate to your current situation and I know what you are feeling now is very real. You ARE *worthy* of a *better life,* even if you don’t think so. Sometimes I need to remind myself of this as well.. to keep going, even when my mind gets clouded by thoughts of self-doubt.

We’re rooting for you dude

you are offering something of value. honesty. humbleness, being real. those qualities are far more valuable than anything. I'm honestly in the same stage of life as you are right now. about to turn 35 not really sure what to do with my life. but seeing you have the courage to record these videos and show you're progress at the very least inspires me to keep going too.

Thanks Adam. I dont even know why I’m here. RU-vid recommended it even tho I don’t watch any similar content

I just found your channel and I sincerely appreciate your candidness. That's a lot of vulnerability most people aren't willing to embrace, and I commend you for that. I must ask that you watch your language with yourself. While we have to be honest with ourselves about where we are currently at in life, we also have to be kind to ourselves. The kindness that we show ourselves can be the very thing that helps to get us from where we are to where we want to be. Regularly labeling yourself as a "failure" and "lost", are very easy labels to get addicted to. I was addicted to them for years. Those are belief systems that only run circles around themselves only making you feel more of a failure and more lost. Adjusting your belief system is something I highly encourage you to look into. I don't mean to bombard you with unsolicited advice haha, I just felt called to say that. Thank you for your videos, and keep it up!

Thank you for sharing your journey. So many people relate to feeling behind and like a failure-it can feel so lonely and shameful. You really help me feel more normal despite my circumstances ❤

I saw your first video. And I’ve also just seen your newest videos. It’s great to see how you’ve got on. Keep going pal, subbed.

i put this on your other video but keep these going. they geniunely help, not only us but you too.

Your amazing mate ❤

You are so genuine and strong man(in my opinion as you are quite positive despite the adversities youve faced), in this age of overstimulation on youtube your channel is a breath of fresh air and inspiring honesty

we understand you

Hi Adam, just wanted to say I watched your older video recently and it honestly resonated with me a hell of a lot!. Looks like lots of us here are all going through a similar experience. What you just said about creating new content etc, I’d love to see more from you and watch you grow into the person that you want to become. You’ve actually inspired me to make some of my own videos on specific subjects I struggle with like dating, certain online addictions and just life itself. And one last thing, the fact you’re being REAL and showing the way you REALLY feel in front of people online is something to be admired. One thing I will say to you though which i know you already know because you seem like a smart guy, is you should just try to be out of the house as much as possible! For me, it honestly makes me feel like I’m out of my comfort zone just being outside sometimes. But when I’m out for a long time I start feeling totally different to how I felt inside the house. I personally use my outside time to think, conjure up some new ideas and or plans for the future, or just listen to a podcast. You don’t really need people (although it feels nice) all you need is yourself and to say to yourself it’s all okay. Anyway I hope this helped you at least a little bit.

The vulnerability you’re demonstrating, thanks fam 🤘🏼😎💪🏼

You seem to be so much better compared to six months ago, keep it up!

You have people rooting for you

What a good man

You're more relatable than you think.

Keep on trying and dont give up brother. We‘re all on self improvement. Improve our mindset, improve our body, improve out health, improve our looks, improve our life! Keep eating healthy, keep going to gym (I recommend fighting), keep reading books, keep on working your job or your business, keep on meditating, keep on staying away from porn and more than anything, keep on trying to smile brother! We are all the same. Good luck

We're all living in the same clown world. Most women h8 all men. The richest men couldn't keep their woman. The key to happiness: 1. Self-sufficiency, 2. Happiness in solitude. Get those 2 things, and you'll realize how many bullets you've dodged.
