I'm confused with my own emotions. in not happy but I'm not sad...I'm just nothing. everything in my life is great, so I dont know why I feel this way.
Thank you for this! I have recently noticed that you can be confused about confusion, that is a weird place to be. When that happens, I just start doing something (usually cooking) and all of a sudden my mind is CLEAR 🙂
That happens to me a lot, and when that happens i just ignore it and do something that makes me happy and forget. But unfortunately that is temporary, what do you do when it comes to your mind again?
There is so much compassion in your voice. Could feel your genuine interest to share your insights, and help the fellow humans to improve their lives. Thank you very much for the efforts.
I'm so confused in life. I'm studying nursing but I'm not happy I'm losing my guy I dated for 4 years I'm losing friends I just crushed my dad's car I have stopped loving myself I hurt my friends and my grades are dropping terribly I can't study my mind is full of chaos i can't be happy. I don't know what to do in life. I'm a mess.
8 years ago… I’m confused, my friend made a picture of a female me, call me weird when I say it but everyone says the female me looks so much better and I hear and say to myself that I’m ugly, and I’m gonna be alone for a long long time. I want to be the female me because people want call me ugly and I won’t be lonely. You are truly a beautiful person, 8 years ago and you’re still helping people. Thank you - a random person 2/15/24
Wow... I am an idiot. Searching for these stuff on the internet because I feel like I have nobody to talk to, or when I do have somebody like that, I am afraid to reach out, so I get sort if blocked in prayers, videos like these, and, well... I guess even panicking. So what you actually mean to say is that... when there's this flurry and storm of confusion going around, what you basically need to do is, well... don't do? Sort of simply surrender, don't push and go with the flow? Because if I get it correctly, that sounds pretty neat and logical, and I guess may even match my thoughts about what to do (it's just that I always feel the need to search for validation, like something or someone telling if what I have in mind is really correct or not). But then again, that's why I said I'm an idiot. I swear everytime I tried to rest, to just be passive, to simply be and merely watch life flowing and unfolding... I just failed, sort of falled back into that sticky net of desperately doing, working, learning, searching for solutions, and it's driving me nuts. Like how do you learn to relax and have fun and disconnect, so that you stop insisting and pushing? I guess rest, but my mind always returns to doing something and to anxious toughts. I guess many of us, including me, have this desperate need to be in control in order to feel secure... so because of that, you constantly want to stay alert and watch out for anything around and just do things further, try to find out what is going on and what you should do... So then I could try at least active relaxing, if the RU-vid guided meditations are too painful to sit through. You know, just do what you like and love. I am not sure anymore what I like, though. Reading is so tiring and I can't focus. It also stresses me out, because anything related to learning turns on and fuels my instinct of desperately changing something and not have peace for a second. I guess music is great, though... and movies and shows, although I really need to search for something to watch, as I am really not sure what on Earth to, quite often. =) Workohalism leads to burn out. Woaaaah, boooy, that's one long text, sorry. I just really needed to write about this. xD Well, thanks for uploading and also, I LOVE your voice. You have a really nice way of explaining things.
When I say to rest, it doesn't mean don't do anything. I mean it in the sense that you rest from taking your mind so seriously. You can still do things and live life. In part, I think it's just a part of being human to be uncomfortable, because that gets us to do things, learn, and evolve. It's good for the species. So we're going against the grain here. You can have confusing thoughts, learning thoughts, searching thoughts, anxious thoughts, but you don't have to do anything with them. They come, and they go. So, for me, it's about surrendering to the experience of being human, of having all these different thoughts and urges. Experiment with this. You'll find your own way. Thanks for watching :)
Henri, What helps me navigate in life is the awareness that most of the time, there is no best solution. When I was younger, I struggled with this concept a lot, I would keep thinking what can I do to make everything better. Then I realise that most of the time, you will always miss out on something when you make a choice. That knowledge makes choosing easier. I would go for the things that I am emotionally attracted to while accepting the consequences that ensues. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Anh
That's a great mindset to have. I see it much the same way. And something that helps me is that I can only choose what I'm most interested in, the rest is out of my hands. Plus, I don't know where things may lead.
Very well said, Henri. :) When you think about it, this is just common sense. I guess this is because a lot of us are taught to be "right" all the time so much that we have irrational expectations on how things should go, how we should behave, even how we should feel. When the truth is that we can't control the world and something can always go wrong.
I've only watched about five of your videos and read an article of yours, but I just wanted to say that they kind of make me sad. Of course, that isn't your fault. I guess it's just because I'm dealing with a lot right now. I am really confused with what to do about it, which is why I watched this, but I've been trying to just let life move forward for a while now and it's just gotten worse. I decided to do something about it and get more involved, and hopefully the problem is cleared at some point by doing so.
Hey guys. I've gone through several periods where life seems like it's too much. It always passes. But the main thing that I've learned is not to try and resist these times, because whenever there's confusion, something within me is changing. I need to let go of how I think life should be. Here's a video where I talk more about this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aP7y3MgQ_GQ.html
I’m so scared to waste my whole life. I don’t wanna be sitting on my death bed filled with regret. I stare at a screen all day and feel like I’m wasting life and have no direction, passion or hobbies
Hi my friend! I had a panic attack back in october! From that day i was searching about it! Ways to cure it and stuff! Now i am fine! But, i forgot what normality is?! I feel weird about myself! I keep asking myself questions that what i use to do before my panic attack! I am absolutely fine by health! But this thing is eating me! Idk, but i know i am confused about whats real and what’s not! Please guide me!
I feel like if I follow this I might just accept whatever comes first in my life. For example, when job hunting, whichever offers mea job first should be the one life is giving me, therefore take it, when maybe.. if only I wait a little longer something might come up. How do I avoid getting trapped in this kind of thinking?
It's definitely not an easy question, but are you interested in the job? Do you feel drawn to take it? Maybe you want to take it while you look for a job you are more interested in? It's never just take what life gives you, but the intersection of opportunity, interest, and capability. Hope that helps :)
Im feeling confused about everything 😂😔like what is going on this is really weird and strange to me 😆😔i know nothing is perfect and no one is perfect but im just really confused 😔🤔
