Do not worry, your perspective will become less vague over time, by the time you hit 30 you should have a new clarity on what is actually important to you and which things just are societal constructs that you've been programmed to desire.
@@deathbunny3048 I feel that! I genuinely do believe that is how things work in our world. If marketing companies can manipulate us to subtly, I don't think it is that hard for others to do the same.
@@EnGageJackson If you think religion is gonna fix your problem, you are sadly mistaken. Race is your God, and people related to you will REALLY care and have empathy for you. We are Greek Orthodox Christians, who are alot more "conservative" then your bunch in the USA. Sense of community has to do with close genetic ties, something religion will never offer. My opinion is that Christianity in the West has destroyed the European Community and any common sense in preserving our common genetic heritage. The Greek Church serves ITS PEOPLE....not the other way around. We dont serve God, God is something that supports the family. You are all twisted up....no common sense.
yup, it definitely feels that way. in a world of “thats just how the world works, deal with it” i feel like i have so much empathy thats been beaten down by school and my own church (i left because i was never truly respected there) and ive been told by my own brother “you have too much empathy” when i talked about minorities facing bigotry and systemic bigotry, like i see a human suffering, why am i the weird one for caring. i feel like im always shamed for caring and having human emotions and having human behaviour. its so bizarre to me i hope i can find other human beings who want to treat others like human beings
@cloud5544 There's a lot of that careless mean-spiritedness or "it is what it is" attitude going around. My girlfriend and I bought food and a couple of pieces of clothing for a couple homeless a few months back, so know that some of us still care. My opinion is that people can't process news like they use to, we live in a safer society in yet the massive news dump that we get from all places at once makes the world seem more dangerous than it is and leads people with less reason to trust each other. 🤷🏽♂️
36 year old millenial here. Just want to say that it only gets worse. Don't waste your time on work. There is nothing worth having that can be gained that way. Ive been working and saving my whole life and every time i get close to buying a house, inflation hits, or the jobs disappear or whatever. My best friend died and I realized ive done nothing but work for other people and I have NOTHING to show for it. Nothing of value, anyway. It's not worth it. Love people, follow your passions. Go mad and risk starvation. Suppreasing yourself for the sake of the job is not worth it. You'll probably fail, but at least you will have TRIED for something you actually want instead of failing at something you feel you SHOULD want.
35 here and feels like we were lied all our life. Im glad more millenials are waking up to the stupidity that is the rat race of working for some stupid company that treats you like garbage
The economy is completely broken and *corporate capitalism* is the root cause. The social fabric is also breaking down now. Everything is breaking down. I've been around for a while and it's hard to not have this general sense of sadness...
Something I noticed that deteriorated my faith in humanity is the way people act when nobody is looking. Great example: I happened to pull over in my friends neighborhood on the way home to get a picture of the northern lights that came down into upstate NY and I got some pics and then sat in my car for a little to look at them. While I was sitting there a guy came out of his house to get something in his car and on the way back in I heard him stop before his front door and I looked over and he was just staring at me over the bush in his front yard and then just said “fuck you” then walked in. It was the strangest behavior I’ve ever seen. This was at like midnight. Definitely had a family and was a grown man. I’m 23 and have a nice car. I think the fuck you was for having the nice car? It’s so disgustingly petty out there. Evil and emptiness are all over. People are losing their minds and path in life
Spiritual War. Getting close to the last days in the book of Revelation. Demon Spirits are in weaker bodies(No faith or drugs)of humans. I think it says something about the walking dead too.
You are not alone....even older people feel this way. We've lost a lot in the past 3 years. Loneliness is rampant. Hopefully things will turn around. But you are very observant. Best wishes.
Real life is a show primarily with filler episodes. The majority are mundane things, day to day activities, boring things no one cares about or finds exciting.
Extacly its a hierarchy , to our job's and social status, we are just animal's there is no pleasing of the human mind. In order to understand how society function's one must understand and observe his and other's behaviour.
If you guys think living in America in 2024 is survival horror then just imagine what our ancestors thought .. civil war, world war 2, Great Depression, tuberculosis etc
@@brianmeen2158we have more relative comfort, but make no mistake, we absolutely have it much harder. At least our ancestors had the ABILITY to own a home, raise an ENTIRE FAMILY on ONE INCOME, back when people actually derived personal satisfaction from their work, because they knew the mouths they fed in their communities, or knew how their hard work led to the electrification of their small communities, indoor plumbing, they got to DO THAT, and we don't. We've had meaning systematically removed from OUR experience and it shows.
My tip is to keep doing what you enjoy. That's the only thing that matters and helps you get through it. I'm over 30 and can relate. Being in your 20ies, while I do wish to have that back, can be a rough time because you're expected to be an adult but at the same time, you haven't gained that life experience yet.
I went to school for environmental science. Loved the degree and the opportunities it gave me. Absolute worst decision of my life. Now, I am not only depressed because of the collapse of local communities and lack of social options, I am also scared of the immense challenges our society faces in the future. Challenges, I must add, that we have almost universally failed up to this point, if we even address them. If local communities were still strong, i’d have hope for a future where people take over for themselves when things get worse. Instead, we are growing more polarized at a time when we desperately need to be preparing for disaster.
Honestly life feels like hell lately. There is hope but only after putting major accomplishments under our belt. You’re the type of people I’d want to hire if I make it though. Genuine people not happy about playing the two faced game.
I feel you bro. I was born in 1992, the 90s was bliss. Childhood was mostly bliss. But since 2020 it feels like I am in a fever dream. I'm living a shadow of the former bright life I once had. I cant think if nostalgia anymore because rather then make me happy it makes me emotional and depressed.
The way our government has wasted our money and lowered the value of our labor through debt is sad. Now that the petrodollar is dying, so will our future.
Bro i feel you. I'm 35 and I'm feeling the exact same. The world is different now. You're not alone though bro. I'll be your friend, hell, i need friends too.
Id love that Robert! Even though I know online friendships and bonds cannot fully replace being fully immersed in our own realities friends, I would find it pretty cool if we had our own community in this corner of the Internet.
I'd love to Halo6166! Even though it can never fully replace a full immersion into a community in reality, I'd be really happy if we have a little community over here on the Internet.
2 things to things. The "normies" really I mean REALLY screwed up a hell of a lot for being so careless and clueless with everything around them. If you care about anything slightly genuine, it's beaten out of you as a service to them it seems. Secondly, you are an observer. So you see things others honestly almost hate to look at. The future isn't bright if you can see 10 steps ahead, believe me I know all to well about it. However, you have something most don't: Perspective. That's what most people really lack right now. Grind grind hustle hustle doesn't have time for any reflection or perspective. So, when understanding this, I'd say one thing overall to you. Your ahead of the curve man. Now, what are you going to do with that edge? ~Cheers, and sub'd :)
Perspective. I like that! Anyone would say that after a compliment, but you make a good point regardless. I just wish everyone just stopped and gave some of these things some extra thought and reflection... Thankful for you. Thank you for leaving a comment.🙏
That's the million dollar question right there. I don't know if logical or generally perceptive personalities can do much else other than observe and share, even under unification of the.. let's say oppressed for lack of a better term, the numbers still might not be favorable
@@WhenDevilsDuel My 2 cents would say if you can understand the roots of many problems, then you can't pitfall into them (or as easily). Scope, test, reflect, continue.
@CrummyVCR "If you care about anything slightly genuine, it's beaten out of you as a service to them it seems." This line is fire, my dude. I'm a small business guy and this one particular thing has been the bane of my entire existence on planet earth. The worst part about it is that it can never be rectified in any meaningful way because NPCs are wholly incapable of introspection or taking on anything that deviates from the script writers that are in charge of coding their firmware updates. They exist to unconsciously and passively torment those who have vision.
I had the same experience growing up and was your age in the early 90s. It's always a shock. We have to find ourselves when that period in life passes and it can take years. Just because it seems that people don't care and that we're alone isn't enough not to do something. We need to focus on self-development and learning, and being productive beyond work-related chores and hours and career related learning. Meaningful learning, meaningful productivity. When we do this we find community, even if it's small and distributed. The truth is, if you're aware, you'll largely be alone in your local context as there won't be many people to related to, but you'll cherish those who can spot you and appreciate you and seek you out, and you'll appreciate your time focusing on what you value. It's a values based life, and once you start developing values, you separate yourself real fast. Impatience comes with youth. It's painful, but believe you me, the older you get the more methodical you can get as well; his allows you to chip away at large projects without the lead blanket feeling that you're missing out and are never going to make it even though you're just 20 something. Age gracefully, understand decline, prepare for the fact that you'll die from an early age, and be prepared to be a martyr for your values about how the world should be to support the human spirit. With that, you can channel it into your work and gain eudaemonia throughout....
The rare youtube comment I see that I 100% agree with. Your sensitivity to the state of things is valuable and, yes painful. It's also the very thing that will help you find your people.
I completely agree especially since my sister thinks she is holier than thou since she has a house 🏠 a husband and makes 125k a year. Screw her and I hope I never hear from her again. She is headed to the same place everyone else is headed which is the end of humanity. Let her have her fun while she can
The lack of upward mobility, outsourcing, and the tech onslaught are the main problem. People are so obsessed with their gadgets and social media it really doesn't seem human anymore.
Anyone who appreciates deep life-long interpersonal relationships would be elated and honored to have a friend like you. I'm rooting for you, buddy. I dig what you said about time and moments. Those are our most cherished commodities and the shallow world is actively cheapening and diluting their significance and make us beholden to the "rat race". Hold the line. Persevere. Not to deter your thought of getting an RV, but if you go camping there are bugs, bugs, and more bugs. 🐛🐛They need friends too.
Yeah! At the end of the day, I think life is about the moments, ya know? That's what I want to work towards, not the rat race. If I die during that, I get nothing, no one does, but if I truly live life, something great happens. That's what I think at least.
Something from a secular viewpoint ... I used to complain to my dad (RIP) that the companies I worked for didn't have good mentorship programs. His response was "you think anybody's going to take time out of their day to teach you anything?!😆" ... he was partially right, but I have found some pretty incredible people who I could emulate - who helped build my skills and knowledge - good friends. I also found a wife I've been with for 32 years (neither one of us are very religious). It all falls into place eventually - but perhaps my biggest regret from my 20s, is the drinking. I was getting drunk 4 days out of the week with my alcoholic friends (I was only doing it socially) - in between, the hangovers brought me to a low point. I was working full-time and had a side-gig. It took me four years to complete a two year Applied Science degree because work and drinking sucked up the time. I could have used my time to do better for myself - but I can't go back - I can only focus on moving forward.
Watch the TED talk by Scott Galloway called "How the US is destroying young people's future". Scott validates a lot of what you're feeling using research, historical facts and charts. Things truly are tough right now for the young and lower to middle classes. Keep praying despite the numbness, God answers even pitiful little prayers. God is the only one who can save us from this evil age.
Yo I promise this isn't a joke, but if you aren't already, and you have good knees start to run. I was at the end of my rope man, I was fucking cooked. So I started walking with no headphones and it didn't as tough. It's been a month and I've never felt better in my life. It's not a fix, but it's a start. Gets you stronger, gets you in shape and once you get in shape, join a running group, invite friends and family to join you. I know I sounds crazy, but starting running has changed me forever and I'm never going back. Give it a try. Go for a run, go for a walk, be with yourself and disconnect. It helps, I promise.
I relate to you 100%. Sounds like we had the exact same childhoods. Going to a church, community of friends. No one around you in your current life has the guts to commit to hanging out or doing anything, no one around you understands you. There's nothing to look forward to. It seems no matter what route you go down, you're still gonna be alone and in misery. Can't get a house, can't find people to share a house with, can't find a community to do things with, can barely find the motivation to even care for yourself. 20:00 I'm 25 now. When I was 21, I hit the road solo. I've been to every lower 48 state multiple times. I've been to every corner of the country. Experienced some insane things. It's worth it to an extent, yes you see and experience a lot. But at the same time, you are alone and have no one to share the experiences with. It almost feels like it was all a dream. But it's so much better then wasting your life "working." I feel you 1000% though. Still sticking to the faith. Jesus is absolutely the truth. But at the same time, this world, and everyone in it sucks so much. It's just how it is. I wish I could tell you the solution. But I haven't found it yet. Just stick with Jesus. He promises paradise after this life. Earth is not our home. It's hard to see past earth, but that's the only hope. 💛
Thanks for writing this comment. It is incredibly comforting hearing your life experiences. I feel like you really get what I have been feeling and going through. Thank you!
@@EnGageJackson yes sir. I really do understand how you feel. Look up a song called Full Circle Song by Gene Clark. That's the truth. Life is a circle. In ways I can't really explain. If you need some traveling advice I'm your man! Perhaps we can exchange contact info and connect. Or not, no worries. Hope you are well today. Keep on Truckin'
@EnGageJackson I think I had one in the past. I just created a new account. No idea how to use the app though. Technology. Gimme the info and I'll join
It's not you my friend, I feel exactly the same way. No vacation time, no memories created anymore. Lost all my friends from my youth and college it only gets worse as you get older. 36 yo millennial here.
take risks, when i was around your age i stopped giving af, i had introverted friends and they began to not like what i was becoming, all of a sudden i always wanted to go to parties, kickbacks, party party party, got with a chick, ran off into the sunset, i have kids now, a family now, my point is, i was quiet and introverted throughout my teen years along with my friends, had my fun moments yes, but i felt like i was always playing it safe, so i threw myself out there, now here i am, no regrets, glad i did it, do not compare yourself to others and try to play it safe, you will only miss out, your body will tell you when its the time to make moves, its hard to explain, anyways take care, cheers from socal.
I watched a half your video. I am 59 friend just finding your interest in what you love and dive in. Forget about things you can’t control just dive into your interest and you will be good. Don’t think so much. Just do what you love. I am just like you. Go after your dream or things that interest you and mold your future your goals what you want to do and life you want ! I t. May not be easy at your age but you seem smart so chase your dreams and do not let anyone in your life that’s not on board! Good luck you will be fine! When your on your path things will come easier! But you must continue to want and work hard always. And you will have a good life. Rock on young man you got time on your side ! Mark! 👍
I feel truly blessed to have my small band of friends. I spent many years pining for a deep connection, which is ironic, because I also find it difficult to bond with people. My best friend and I wouldn't be close if I hadn't pushed myself entirely outside of my comfort zone and gone to her birthday party when invited, even though I had only met her once. We wouldn't be close if she hadn't been the kind of person who invites a person they met one time to their birthday! It is astounding the random sparks that ignite close relationships. You never know when some random interaction will bud into something much more. It is hilarious to look back and think of the initial contact you had with someone who ultimately becomes a huge part of your life. Keep putting yourself out there from time to time and tempt fate to bring a bestie your way. Also, you will have wasted years and that is okay. You might even miss the freedom to be bored and spending too much time with your thoughts someday.
You should considering joining the discord we got going on for fans of the channel. I'd love to have a variety of people represented there. Even if not, thanks for your comment, and thanks for considering!
You, sir, are on a journey frought with adversity. Take heart. You are 21. You may feel ancient and jaded now, but you have a long way to go still before you can claim those titles. I wish I was 21. I get it, though. When I was your age, I remember not really feeling any relief when someone else told me how young I still was. It didn't seem to make me feel any better about that sense of loss I felt, that disconnection from a better time and place I once knew. Know that it is something all of us experience. Anyone who challenges themselves with growing and finding that better place has to. Why? Because the lucky ones are raised in a relatively controlled and comfortable environment that we come to feel sentimental about. If we are ever to make it on our own, we have to leave that. You are moving forward and away into the unfamiliar. All the people you knew are doing the same which is why that special time is gone. You need this strange and seemingly callous time. You are being tested. You are being strengthened. You can see it like Jesus in the Desert or young Leonidas in the woods (300). You yourself may live with slightly less dramatic circumstances, but the concept is the same. Embrace it. You miss being part of a community? You miss being cared about? You can be that way again but never in the exact same way and especially never without learning that it costs a person something. It costs more than the money you say you don't have (for now.) It costs the proverbial blood, sweat and tears. You are paying for it right now by learning that your freedom has a flipside, that it's on you brother. You shouldn't title videos with words like "No Hope." Are you conscripted into a war zone? Have you been buried under feet of volcanic ash? Are you the resident of a concentration camp? Are you starving? If you can say "no" to questions like this, then maybe you got a shot my dude. When you feel down it can mean that you can still feel pain. It can mean that you're still vulnerable. That's not a bad thing. It means you're stil open to things like love and friendship, that you're not a corpse. Just don't let all that sensitivity go to your head. Congradulations! You're a man! It doesn't have to go downhill from here. Other people will occasionally disappoint you, especially women. You're going to make mistakes. So what? Your mistakes themselves can be memories and hilarious ones at that. Noone else can figure this out for you. ( It's part of the challenge.) People who do manage to find some satisfaction and some degree of meaning have a few things in common: They lean into their discomforts. They keep busy. They try repeatedly. They do things for others. They learn not be afraid of the "work, work, work" but they also put that effort towards a goal. ( Looking forward to the debut of a certain video game is fun but it's not a goal. ) Goals are tinged with a little pain and doubt. When you are busying yourself with toiling through your existence REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE NOT A SLAVE. While you are busy figuring this out you'll notice others on the path. This is where you'll meet your new friends & make new memories. See the love and marriage you want as the reward for having done right, for having done well. Meet your challenges first and women will want to to be your wife. Don't bullshit yourself into believing some chick is coming along for the ride while you figure out what to do with yourself. That's a recipe for disaster. By now, what I'm about to say is an internet trope but it still holds true: Remember, a MAN is the only member of society that isn't loved for who he is but what he brings to the table. You got this. Find your passion and work at it while you have the time and strength to pull it off. Take your lumps but don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. What's the worst that could happen? Ya died trying? Even then you'll have lived more than these idiots who are glued to their phones. C'mon, I'm rooting for ya!
You’re very wise. You’re a thinker and a feeler, which is rare. I feel like I could have said these exact words myself it’s exactly how I have felt. Similar to myself it feels like the biggest thing we’re looking for is community. Friendship and love. I think we just have to find our people. Keep doing what you enjoy, put yourself out there , more than likely moving will help you as well.
In a sense I guess everything has and end or a limit, and with that being said, the humanity itself is starting to deteriorate. It may seem that we are advancing in technology and everything etc. and whatnot, but the state of the population is like quantity over quality along with the limited resources that we consume. When the going gets tough It'll be inevitable for us to turn to each other, all leading to collapse until the end.
As a woman with autism I completely understand because I’ve always been the odd one out. I moved around a lot and thought that was why I was alone. All my bfs gave up when going got tough. I’ve found someone now but I don’t believe there’s many people like us left. I found him at 31 keep looking.
Emotional understanding, is diferent from intelectual understanding. We are living through a transitional time period towards an era of high intelectual capacities, but low emotional wisdom. Thoughts give us survival, but deep emotional conection give us peace, meaning and fullfilment. Modernity has given us light in many ways, but by definition, it also has casted a shadow over many other human aspects, as well. We as humanity are destined to integrate all aspects of our own divine given counciousness. Integration within ourselves yields light, separation within ourselves, yields darkness.
It’s not just young people. We older ones are having the same problems. Ask yourself, How is your life now compared with four years ago? How far we have fallen as a society! Advice, cherish your family. Take initiative to do things together. Have a game night, a back yard picnic. All too soon, you’ll be making arrangements to bury your parents. Stay in touch with your siblings. The day may come when you’re separated by time and distance. Make more home memories. Go back to church! If you don’t have one, join one. Look for a small church where you can get to know people and they can know you. P.S. The President whose name you couldn’t remember is Franklin Roosevelt. Study the Great Depression. Learn from it how to survive tough times.
I first have to convince my wife that things we knew pre 2018 are over. It’s struggle bus now, and eating out and expensive vacations are history. I’m fine with it but some people just have a hard time adjusting and lose their sh*t
Fascinating isnt it? So many have come here in such a short amount of time and likely almost none of them were guided by the algorithm but instead by the keywords that they used. We can all feel it, even to the point of reaching out for our own little reasons, connection/empathy, understanding/wisdom, or just for comfort that they aren't alone. We all seeked this out.. it can easily mean nothing and just be happen stance but it's definitely thought provoking, and to say the least, it shows our society is sharing this current pain in a big way.
The happiness you seek won't be found without willfull ignorance or significant political and cultural change. As things are, our society is complacent/decedent at large. Two choices as I see it, stop thinking, disengage from your philosophical self and embrace ego, join the system as the cog that they intended and enforce ignorance upon yourself and others, sounds bad but for personal health and from a logical viewpoint is the better option. Or, spread your viewpoints with those you know, embrace it further by expanding upon your thoughts and think of simple sound solutions, and fight against a morally void system with a strong combination of idealism and logic, eventually the idealism will unify the people into a movement that's hopefully for the better. However if ever that were to happen, I do fear the kind of hate that it would be responded with and how it would immediately be reflected back, something tells me a second free love movement met with federal hostility wouldn't be as willing to turn the other cheek as its predecessor was.
Hello Im from Spain, I saw your video , We live in a time where people are selfish, friends only love you for what they can get from you, and women, in general, do not seek to make a family... sad times, if you really trust in God , for me , the only place you can really find god is in World Mission Society Church of God.
I feel like the reason the world is the way it is now is because millenials grew up in a time where becoming a millionaire became the main focus of life. Back in the old days, it was just a given in life that most people will just be normal. But with college propaganda and the internet creating opportunities for entrepreneurship, making money and the whole hustle culture took over everyone’s life. I can see this changing in the near future as people realize it’s pointless. For the record, I’m 30. I was 22 in 2016. Life was DRAMATICALLY different just 8 YEARS AGO! Hell, just 5 years ago life was different. I think it has a lot to do with how social media and RU-vid and TikTok have gotten so good at captivating people’s attention. And now with inflation just flat out depressing everyone, it’s a recipe for zombies. My mindset from 2019 to now is very different. I’m extremely apathetic. It’s hard to care because money’s hard to come by, people are hard to come by, so what’s the point? Exactly like what you said near the end of the video.
I am a Gen Z myself and feel the same "jaded" feeling about the modern world most of the time. Indeed it does feel "lacking" and lonely most of the time. We have all the necessary resources but just don't know how to pursue them and I think it has a lot to do with lack of human connectivity. Having traveled to Eastern Europe many times since my family is from there, a lot of the people whether rich or poor, feel very connected or get along, unlike in most western developed nations, which is quite ironic because the United States, for example is a first-world country yet people in the USA complain over little things such a car dent or internet loss, in other words, "first-world problems". Now, nowhere is perfect, and even the idea of a prosperous civilization have big flaws. But my point is that with the smartphone invention and social media craze, it's deluded many Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha and even worse is that many of us lads slander each other like if we always want to be right and justified in every situation which amplifies the loneliness and distaste for the world. I hope that sooner than later, we realize this the hard way because eventually, the older generation that got to live outside and make friends and meaningful relationships will slowly die off, and we'll have to fend for ourselves and provide for future generations to come.
Your sense of responsibility towards the future is really great and refreshing. I also see that one day everything will be on our shoulders to bear. That's why I feel like we must do anything to defeat the times and begin on a path that will help hundreds, if not thousands of people.
I think there was a switch on how the world approaches hanging out. It is technology. We lock in with our hobbies and let the world pass by. You probably need to apply for a good paying job and find a new community. I feel like communities used to stay in the same area for many generations, whereas now people move to work. You can find a booming community for people your age. I feel like this could potentially take you to the next level.
You used to have community. People are living in their own selfish bubbles right now for a lot of different reasons. You'll find the right people eventually.
You are right a lot of people are very selfish today especially in my rich golf ⛳️ course neighborhood in west Cary. I don’t speak 🗣️ to my neighbors and they don’t speak 🗣️ to me.
Life is an adventure but with no restarts it’s literally a rpg game get a van save some money do some maintenance then go I live in my 2008 Honda CR-V been living in a car since 2020 it’s 2024 now I’m divorced spent 10yrs with some one separated for 3 and the rat race is real or aka wage slaves I had a house and lost it took the whole marriage to get to that point I’ll never buy a house again van life and car life for me there is something satisfying about having little to nothing it makes life simpler I go on walks I eat we’re I want and I have met some people I have probably talked to 80,000 people while working in retail for 5 yrs it was for self growth that’s why I chose to stay and try it out most people I talked to are selfish mean and toxic there’s very few genuine people there so far and deep in the matrix they forgot how to communicate and care about fellow humans I have met some really good people as well but society is falling apart in front of us we over indulging in every aspect of life but that what the matrix is for and wants we are the product
You should get your pilots license, little expensive. If you play video games probably have good eye hand coordination so the flying part you’ll probably pick up pretty quick, and the license is good for life as long as you can pass the medical every 2 years.
Lived in a house trailer on the back of a farm fully off grid for 2 years till someone made a stupid decision and I lost the land … If going own put in your name !!!!
In the darkness their is always the light, if it is to be. And if their is no light you're looking in the wrong place. No matter how far or wide the gap may be it all depends on when, where and how. Why is asking, why do mountains exist? When will the light appear? Where will it appear? How will it appear? Questions but no answers, except for one, the one you find. Only those in the know will know what I mean by this, and if you dont, good luck, and if you think you do... well... who knows...
I believe its a case of information overload, our brains simply arent evolved to take in so much emotion and visual data that we are fed every day with the internet. In the beginning the internet took long to load each website, the images were tiny of low quality and the news were largely text based. Nowadays its 24 hour news cycle on steroids, and its high quality, algorithm pumping, stimulating madness. And people might say "well it spreads awareness" yes sure, but its awareness of problems that we dont have the tools to solve, resulting in a feeling of helplessness and apathy, that just nails down our soul.
That's really interesting! I've not fully considered some of your ideas exactly, but I have felt that we may be happier if we didn't have all those things as they are.
Hello! Read over 100 comments and I would say 99% of them are on the same level as yourself. None really offer you any ideas or support. So here I AM. 1st You are looking for happiness from others. This can not be anymore. You will need to practice to love yourself first before the ideal friends and "SP" shows up in your life. 2. You attract things into your life as you think of them. A day full of crappy, depressed thoughts, ideas? Well guess what? You are basically asking for more. 3. You mention church. Well they probably didnt mention Jesus died on the cross because he said Ye Are Gods. We are all gods and can create our own abundance and happiness. They easiest way is to just think of what you want and to feel self love (high energy aka quantum physics). It will basically do the work for you. 3. Be aware of your thoughts, check out Joe Dispenza. I used be all sad and depressed and thinking just like you, but now I'm living every moment feeling more happiness and love. The good, the bad, the news is all just love and experience this planet is going through right now. Start your spiritual path and realize who you really are. ❤❤🙏🙏
I feel like there is a weird process going on of trickle down Exploitation and Usery. Maybe the gross label 'Human Resources' becomes more apt as we treat each other like a commodity. Almost wonder when dating or friendships will have an application process and ask for your resume?
@@EnGageJackson One thing I'll add to this is I've oddly had lot's of luck finding friends or people to talk to in Virtual Reality. In many ways, social 'Technology' like Facebook is really awful, but VR includes visual moving avatars and body language. You're also free of location or even Timezones. I've chatted with people in Japan, Sweden, and Russia. Bringing that issue to the physical world, money is tight and that reduces people's Economic Mobility. We should ideally be able to travel and find the people we click with best. Me for example, I'm just here stuck in my small town, but I'm really a city person at heart, but it's just to expensive to for me to relocate and start over. I'm also a tech hobby person and in a city, you're much more likely to find Maker Spaces or other hobby clubs.
There really is a case for the return of intergenerational living. Its so sad the rule is absolutely everyone moves out across the country. IDK there are some aspects of living in the United States that makes all this worse. It could be other cultures particularly non Western may be less isolating in general. It seem the United States is too focused on money and defining yourself by career, we're maybe even en Europe that might be less imphasised.
I completely agree with you on this. I've had similar thoughts. Other cultures are more family and group oriented. There needs to be some balance I think between both kinds of societies.
Bro, what is going on with Gen Z aging so rapidly? This man is 21? He looks a whole 35 on a good day!!! And im 32. I uploaded a video (not on this account) and everyone kept calling me young, a boy, young man... wtf happened to Gen z? dont tell me screens.... I was on screens all day if i wasnt outside int he sweltering sun. Idk, maybe it was the hose water we drank or the fact that we never put on sun screen. I cant cant call it but yall look damn well 10 years older than most of the millennials i know.
you are young kid, but you have heart, you may not have heard this before but you have a regal voice, which is rare, I do not, USE it work on it, refine it, you have no idea how potent that quality is, man I wish you could know what I know, since you have what it takes, as much as I understand the hopelessness you feel, your body language, inflections, mannerisms conveys the degree to which you mean what you say (yes one of the degrees I have is in Behavioral Science), I care because the future depends on your generation and I am trying to what I can to help. I know all to well how older generations mock your generation and I am not just opposed to it but diametrically opposed to it. Do not see what I said in my previous comment as bragging as it is not Look, not having lots friends, churches as you have mentioned is the reason why the US is the only country I do not do business with (meaning Christian related services, not preaching, not coaching rather I create software for people who study the Biblical narrative, much like you Logo's/e-Sword but different) my brother an ordained reverend, we are traditional in terms of lifestyle, to be honest I do not see why virtually everything in the US have a 'price tag'. Other than that, if you want chat sure, but whatsoever the case, the past is done, the future will depend on what you do now. The present is a reflection of the past and the future will always depend on the now, what happens next is in your hands.
I do really appreciate you and your comment.🙏 I've never been told I have a regal voice, but I really like that compliment. I mean, people have said that I have a cool voice, but never have I heard "regal"... Your words as a whole are encouraging; thank you!
@@EnGageJackson Well, you are most welcome, and yes you have a regal voice and you should work on that, not I know regal is often understand royal, instead I mean deep, stoic... you deserve. Use it. The best example I can give closest to your age without his accent is Chris Hemsworth
@@xXstevilleXx That's high praise! He has an awesome voice! I've never heard that one, but I sure do appreciate that. It makes me feel more confident in my own voice perhaps, so thanks! I'll try to use it well.
@@EnGageJackson You are welcome, no do me a favor, the future really depends on your generation, remember times may be tough the future uncertain but when you drive to a destination say 500 miles away do you need to see the whole road at once or just that which is in you view? will you not get there regardless? have you not encounters dangers on the way? of course but you reach you destination no? so remember this and understand it. Being the best of version of yourself is possible and if you do so it and keep at it others will follow. Do not undermine yourself, know your worth, not think, know
Buy a van you can make into a simple home and come to California. You need adventures.You could even get a simple job and live on the coast for awhile. Lots of jobs out here. Best of luck.😊
Just watched your video and have a couple of comments. First when I was your age I was drafted and really thought I would be dead by the time I was 21 years old. I did not date because I knew I would never return from Viet Nam. But I survived, got married, and now have 4 grandkids, so you never know what the future will bring. It sounds like were raised in the church and you miss the church community what is stopping you from volunteering in your local church? Teach Sunday school, lead a youth group, be a counselor at a church camp, join the choir. Even in 2024 there are still good people left, do not sit home and mope. Volunteer in scouts, help at a nursing home, or coach a youth sport, God will put people in your life. I had no future plans as a youth and I am now 72 years old and looking back I feel blessed. Get out of your basement and help people you will be surprised the people God will put in your life.
This guy would be a great father I bet. I bet he would take good care of a relationship also. The structure of the world has been manipulated through psychology. Study Edward Bernays.
Thank you for the compliment. If I ever become a father one day, I really hope I am a good father and husband.🙏 Few things matter more in this life than that.
Time to find out your centermost. what do you like , are attracted to, fascinated by, feel loving feelings or emotion towards what...the plight of animals, say? just in time to develop lab meat, or build the machines for it, or publicize it...all disparate things but coming from the same point, you love animals and you want to see the suffering stopped. from there, a hundred alternate paths to serve that goal soon become evident. The crookedness of politics has you pissed, for years, run for office. your loves or hatreds become your guide. frankly, with AI and automation in the mix it becomes very tricky , but remember, accountants are the first to to. there along with the programmers.
I feel this. Modern life is so lonely and it feels like it's impossible to find people to connect with or who even want to try to connect. The possibility of home ownership, starting a family and even retirement are slipping away and it makes working feel like a waste of time. So many people are working to pay for things they need in order to go to work. It's a cycle of working in order to keep working. I also feel lost and I don't know what to do about it.
I feel this so hard. I am 31 and completely lost. No interest in chasing a 'career', I just want to do the bare minimum to scrape by and on my own terms. Trying to enjoy the little things in life and just be present. But even that is not really bringing any fulfilment. Everything is just MEH and yet time is passing by quicker than ever. I wake up every day with no zest for life and no hope for the future. Everything just seems to be getting worse in the world. No friends or relationships, nothing. Stuck in suburbia living with my parents with nothing going on. Just so empty. And I know I would feel exactly the same no matter where I went, and if I was living alone it would probably drive me to the brink. Modern life is just so unsatisfying. We need to get back to our roots and connect with our fellow humans and the natural world, and stop putting so much emphasis on work/money which is killing us all.
@@bigchief2331 Cuts deep man. I feel what you feel, but I'm sure I don't even know the half of it, because I haven't been at this a long as you have. I believe in the vision you have. I want to believe something meaningful is possible, even if it sure can feel impossible.
@@RaptureHead1993 Seems a little rash, don't you think? We all have different experiences. As a Christian myself, I know that being saved isn't going to fix this issue for any of us overnight. For certain issues, maybe not ever.
@@teaadvice4996Those people are the most narcissistic people ever, being born privileged lying about how everything they did was by hard work and putting down everyone else who are struggling and wasn't born rich
Yes I feel it too. A real emptiness feeling to my life in the last 5 years or so. It’s nowhere near the same as it used to be. People are different. Something feels off about this whole world now. A major shift in peoples demeanour, a heartless feel in society. Everything seems to revolve around money and not much else. It bothers me, a lot. I feel completely lost as well.
The general public started worshipping money instead of a god with a decent moral message, religion isn't a choice it is a phenomenon that will occur whether people like to acknowledge it or not. If people aren't worshipping God they are worshipping something else.
Many of us feel this way. Our money is inflated. Feels like WW3 is around the corner. Somehow my single friends are always too busy. The price of the American dream seems further out of reach each day. So yeah man. I appreciate your video. It's very genuine. Find a way to fight, even if it's out of spite.
Same. All my guy friends are either busy working a dead end job and spend all of their waking spare hours on booze, cooz, and droogz. Ask them to hang out and do something normal and they begin squirming like “yeah that’s great and all but I wanna get fucked up and try to get laid, gotta fill the empty feeling to not throw yourself off the bridge” or they are straight simps and their girlfriends don’t let them have friends or spend any real time/money on themselves and their hobbies.
The world is in a terrible mess. I am so glad I was born in 1972. I just turned 52 and for me the 70s, 80s and 90s were the best years. It was such a different world then, much better than now.
I feel like I would really like the 80's overall. I get the feeling that era wasn't perfect, but people just had more community building skills, or at least just tried.
@@EnGageJackson Yeah, late 80s for me were the best. Everything was straightforward and not complicated and people actually related to each other and there seemed to be much more kindness in the world. People weren't so busy with technology and social media Bec it didn't really exist. People spoke to each other and listened and cared. People had good work ethic generally and didn't expect government handouts to solve their problems. We saved up for things we wanted to buy, we waited and didn't just use credit. Anyway, it was a much better time to live in my view.
I was born in 1970, I agree with you. I will also say that those decades were not perfect either, but for the most pat, still much better times. I think maybe we became a little too entranced by all this fancy technology, everyone is hypnotized b the great glowing rectangle in their hand. Things really started to change when those things showed up. We started disconnecting from each other, and living in fantasy lands. "socializing" in text only environments. It THIS even "socializing", I don't think so, we are all STILL alone, staring at the great glowing rectangle.
I was born in 69 and I can tell you that life now has no meaning for most as the system has made us slaves to money debt. That is the root cause of this misery and until that is addressed we are just pissing in the wind
It's not you, America has become a shallow husk of what it once was. I was born in 1990 and I can assure you post 9/11 is the start of the downhill trajectory. It was slow at first but got faster and faster after the 2008 crash, the rise of wokeness and covid. It's a very massive, complex problem with many nuances, but it is real, it's not all in your head. Things aren't ok, and what has me feeling the worst is idk when or how things will get better at this point. The current situation in America is unsustainable. This isn't the future that was placed before us in the 90s and early 2000s. There was so much hope, excitement, big dreams and plans, but instead it turned into this unpredictable clown world.
You out that really well! I agree with you! It is not at all what it used to be, and I think anyone who thinks otherwise either wasn't there, or they just forget.
I spoke too soon. It wouldn't make any sense for these to be exclusive to anyone's generation in particular. I wish I could make everything better for everyone.
I'm older, too. I think people have been complacent and let other seize power over us, both politicians, and unelected "experts" who we didn't think to question.
We went trough this before thats why we can sense it now. Its not about generations its about our journey. People that shares the same sensitivity to sense this kind of shifts in our reality are the ones with longer journeys under their belts. I came very curious to this world. As a young kid i was asking deep questions and not getting a single answer to this day. You need to stay true to your nature. In the end only love remains.
You are right dude. I am probably twice your age. Things were NOT like this before. Me and my friends refer to it as the "Great Degradation" . Everything looks, tastes and smells different now. It is almost like there is a different light being cast on our social landscape. It is hard to pin down or to quantify but it is tangible. You're not alone in this.
To everyone here, i recommend the book Tribe by Sebastian Junger. It's not a very long book, im not much of a reader and i finished it in a couple days. He speaks on loneliness and belonging and starts the book by pointing out that in early America captured colonists often elected to stay with the native tribes or colonists would even voluntarily join the tribes, but this rarely happened the other way around. Serves as a jumping off point for discussing how western society is so unattractive and alienating.
Everything has been commodified, including relationships. It's been this way since the 1980s to varying degrees, but ever since the crash in 2008 and covid, it feels like living in a swamp of it now. No politician is going to stop it, no change of government. There are some seriously disruptive things on the horizon, like the possibility of WW3, AI rendering hundreds of millions of jobs obsolete and of course, climate change. I have no real words of comfort to offer, other than to say millions of people are feeling this. We need a revolution, I don't mean a violent one, but something will give soon. Otherwise, this system we live under is going to eat everything, including us.
I know this is nowhere remotely near the solution to everything, but you should consider joining my discord server! There is about 8 or 9 of us on there right now, and it's been fun and interesting so far. I think you'd maybe find something valuable there.
Sadly many are in your boat.. even though yes it feels isolating when we experience it .just know your not alone many others feel like they are living very pointless lives
Your transparency is refreshing. In many ways, adult life is about carving your own path. We spend the first 18 years of life being told what to do, and the remainder of our lives is about figuring out how to undo those first 18 years -or at best, figuring out what we need to keep or what just doesn't apply. We come to find out how complicated this really is. You are on the right path, and the answers will come. Blessings!
It honestly feels like there's no point. I've considered ending things if I hit 30 and don't have my own apartment/house, a good job, or a girlfriend. Sometimes it seems like I shouldn't have been born because I'm not built for this shitty, cold, cruel world.
Hey, hang in there Stephen. I'm obviously not sure what lies ahead for either of us, but I'm still sure there can be found things worth it that we truly care about! Those things that truly matter most are imperative, but hold onto the small things you have now and love! Hold onto family. You should totally join the discord we got going on. I'd love to see you there! There are people over there who feel the same way as you and I, so you may get something out of that.
I'm sorry, but you can't just "end things", because your soul is immortal. Your only real choice is whether you stay on this planet and keep suffering over and over again, or ascend.
I just turned 30 on Sunday. I'm single. I'm renting a tiny apartment with a roommate. I burned out at my job in December and haven't been able to work since. Everything is falling apart around me. I think it's going to get worse for a bit and things will break. Capitalism is failing. But I wouldn't want to live in any other time. What comes next is beyond comprehension and we're about to see some crazy shit. I know it sucks right now but I'm glad you're here.
Im dead inside but at the same time ive never felt more alive. I grind 70hr weeks at work. After all the notions of being social have died for me, i have made my quality of life better. I feel like since i no longer give a shit about fitting in or being socially accepted, i feel liberated. With my new job i can finally afford to indulge in my autistic passions. I can be a wizard in my own house tinkering with projects. I lift weights and am very physically active now. Feels good.
This is how I get by. Money has never held as much value to me as time. Because of this I have to spend my time doing things I enjoy and feel passionate about. Through my twenties and early to mid thirties I was a professional musician and recording engineer. From my mid thirties up to now in my early forties I spend all my time growing and breeding cannabis. God always provides enough for me to get by following my passions. The older I get though the more time I have to spend doing these things I’m passionate about in order to pay the bills and even though I love what I do I definitely miss the communities of friends that I used to have. The older I get the more isolated I become it seems.
Im 38. Just want to let you know its not your fault. The environment were in is top down created from International Finance. The only few things i can tell young men today is: Keep your friends group. Trades. Minimalism. Resistance/Cardio Training Prepping God of the Spiritual Realm (The God of this Realm is Evil)
Gen X here , you needed a roommate to afford rent in the 90’s , we got paid less. It’s inflation. We didn’t have much awareness for things like mental health, political correctness didn’t exist. Never heard about adhd. But yes, I’ve never expected people to be there in the hard times, people are fickle and self centered. It’s very true. It’s very hard to find a community, Get the van and do it, if you really want to. Don’t talk yourself out of things. You don’t know how it will play out
You are still young. Don't give up. Most men don't really figure out what they want to do in life until they are in their 30's. Just focus on self improvement. Go to the gym, workout, read books, learn skills. Go to a trade school and learn a trade. Get a job, save up money. One day, you will meet a woman who appreciates you.
Its harder when you hit forty and you feel the way you do right now for the last 20 years… it might not get any better. It can get worse. Its a war that is waged daily. Find little wins
Here's the gospel (good news), folks. "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." - 1 Corinthians 15 3-4
This generation has been screwed. State college was so cheap for me- I could work two jobs all summer and pay for it. While living at home. College debt is insane now- not worth it unless med school or nursing. Now AI is taking jobs. The plandemic. The coercion for shots. I’ve lost several young people to suicide from despair. Countries are getting flooded with people who have no intention of paying their way. Half your income goes to taxes and fees. We might have to share land. Have an LLC so people have ownership. Then people aren’t paying high rent, have time for friendship and music and travel. They are pushing people into vehicle life and next they will make that difficult too. Keep going with this.
The pandemic wasn't planned, and vaccines are a good thing. However, the elites took advantage of the pandemic to tighten their grip. Don't point your finger to the wrong things.
religion was , is , an it will be allways a business, no matter what religion.. is just a plot made by smart men to control weak men ( people in general) since the begining of mankind manipulation is a real thing, they ruled the world , they put kings in their thrones and kill them when they need it.. you are a good person, if you see no path.. you must be strong and create your own, there are good peolpe all over the world you will find them so keep going foward, dont look back... and yes people are egocentrical is just how we are wired our own survival is a genetic defense mechanism, thats why man allways puts himself first.. is just survival instincts not becouse we are bad or good, and people like to be arround strong figures, so if you are alone , be strong and everything will fall in place, im from latam so maybe i made a mistake in this words, hope it helps
