YES ON NOT TAKING THE WELL INTENTIONED ADVICE I THANK MYSELF EVERYDAY FOR NOT LISTENING YESSIR

I find existential philosophy very interesting, but I feel that when people learn about all these concepts, they can't help but talk themselves into depression. That was certainly my experience when studying it at uni and it was the same for a number of my coursemates & friends. Basically, all of this just makes me think we should never have been able to think so deeply about our own existence at all!! Like we have the capacity to ask all these questions about why we're here, but (as far as we currently know) we lack the capacity to find definite answers. And the whole process of asking these questions makes many of us want to self-destruct. Sooo I've stopped thinking about it for now :)

There’s also a famous philosopher that I cannot name because I clearly can’t remember anyone’s name at this point but he said that it would be a shame, or waste of time, to spend your entire life questioning it’s purpose because…you won’t find it.

@@damondominique so why do you keep harping on it?

when you said 'all anxiety is a result of not being in the present moment' this HELPED ME!!!!!!! i had a thought recently - when i fail to accomplish things i want to do, i feel worthless; catastrophising that i'll go nowhere. when i accomplish great things i feel imposter syndrome and this anxiety of 'what's next' - so why not just be happy in the moment i'm living in right now ✌️

hi damon. never usually comment on videos, but thank you for this one. i am 17, and currently applying to university. my interests lie in design and art, but since my grades are very high, i was encouraged to go down an academic career path; so i chose psychology. i have been anxiously waiting for the oxford email - which tells me whether i moved on to the interview round. watched this video, and truly started to contemplate whether psychology is right for me, and if i am just conforming to what others want me to do. right after i watched the video, i checked my emails and the message came through. i got #rejected. cried about it, but in a good way. i think this was my sign that i should study and pursue something i actually would love to do as a career, and focus of academia as a hobby. anyways, just wanted to say thank you again.

no but i really need to say this. i'm so thankful for damon 's videos, like i literally make time to watch your videos whenever i'm stuck in my head or just sulking for no reason lol. these videos always make me realize how awesome life actually is, even with all the chaos and annoying repairmen Imao. always makes me wanna just go, do cool stuff and rant abt philosophy with strangers.

I just left my toxic mother and going to live my life. Thanks, Damon for being an inspiration. You have been such a positive influence in my life.

needed this reality check on existential dread

I just turned 30 and for the first time I finally understood whe somebody said "You prioritize other people's opinion over yours". Damn that's literally controlled my life for the past 30 years and while it's a "duuuuuh, I KNOW my opinion is more important to me" moment, I just really understood what you said. It was an eye-opener.

Damon talking about wanting to be a motivation life coach someday and here i am already watching his content literally just because it gives me the answers for figuring out my own life lol.... YOU ALREADY LIFECOACHING, BOO! just keep doing wat u doing, ur already wiser than the most of us!!

And also, to recap, I DON'T KNOW.

The chapter “he’s just not that into you” really called me out thank you needed that

damn. that shy point really got me- I always just saw it as a form of anxiety but connecting it to a fear of isolation really hits the nail on the head. im comfy with my introversion but absolutely no time for that shyness 🗣

omg I love getting existential. it never makes me depressed, it instead makes me like, "damn, I dont really know whats going on, so let me at least have fun"

"Any form of anxiety is you not being present" God this quote alone added ten years to my life

I moved to the Netherlands from the US for university (despite the discouragement of those around me), and it is honestly the best decision I have ever made

Damon you should make a podcast because I would love to listen to you talking about things like this throughout my day

I’m 20 and it feels like I’m already knowing much more about myself, like why the f was I not learning about myself all this time!

holy shit... you've been saying all the things i've been thinking

Yesssssssss. I feel like we getting extra extra content. I hope all is well on the new journey Damon. Excited to see where life takes ya 💗

there is a facilitating component in the nihilism you describe. if nothing has objective value/meaning, it is upon you who experiences this whole to set your own values/meanings because in the end the only thing you can be sure about is that you think and therefore you are

Thank you for sharing this. I needed to hear it. ❤️

Damon i love this! Keep this good content going!! thanks for encouraging me to question everything

Great video as always, Damon. Love ya!

i love ur content sm, always so inspiring and refreshing! thank u for doing what u do

I really needed this video rn

oof this was well needed in my life rn! ty 💖

Needed this so bad rn, you're amazing

i recently read a book about existentialist philosophy called "irrational man." parts of it were mind-blowing... life-affirming, really. parts of it were tough to get through (read it in the morning with your coffee!) but i think even if you just read the first couple sections of this book, you'd have a lot of "aha!" moments. this book was written in nineteen FIFTY-EIGHT but a lot of what the author is saying is still crazy relevant today

UGH I love you so much. You're the bestt

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen of yours Damon, thank you for all your tips; I feel that it’s the culmination of topics you’ve brought up briefly your other videos. I just very much like hearing you speak.

Happy Birthday Damon!!! Thank you for sharing your energy with a lost soul like myself. You always inspire me to keep journeying❤️

I LOVE that video! Thank you so so so much. I was high watching it yesterday and I am still thinking about it. ✨💫

I always appreciate how in depth your advice/discussions are. I relate to so much of what you say so deeply. I am actually turning 30 in.a month and have been doing a lot of introspective exploration.

thank you for this video, loved it and I will definetely come back to it whenever I need to hear this advice again

Ooo the existential questions that arose while watching… But I truly appreciate you leaving this advice and info, very helpful!

this video is very special thank you damon keep it uuuup

This was such an insightful video and really what I needed to hear at this moment in time. Keep up the amazing work you're doing!

I needed this lecture. Thank you 🙏🏾

Thank-you for this video

Damon, I LOVE THIS CONTENT! Spilling the life tea✨

Loved the video thank you Damon 👏🏽👏🏽

Obsessed w you talking about these topics. This is so goooood!!!

Love your videos bc it makes me feel understood. Thank you for being you

All the things that you talked about in this video I've had hour long monologs about those things in my head like I 100% percent agree with everything that you said and it makes me feel so good that I'm not the only one thinking like that♡

This video was such a eye open! Thank you Damien! 🥰

the video I needed today

for the first time ever, I agree with EVERYTHING said in this video 👏👏 going down that deep existential rabbit hole can be overwhelming, and I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone thinking the same way I do !!!

I just told my brother that when I find my own place I'd like a baking recipes book for a gift. He told me that I shouldn't wait til then to start a new hobby on baking, instead I should start it now. Idk whether I think about my past or my future more, but I want to be able to be present. I'm often daydreaming or overthinking, but that's not productive whatsoever. I have plans and goals to achieve, why not do it right now? Life is beautiful and life shouldn't be taken for granted. I'm 19, turning 20 in a couple months, and I'm very excited for the next phase of my life. Hopefully it leads me to visiting new countries, speaking fluent Spanish with my grandparents, and baking delectable treats for friends and family. Oh, and hopefully meeting YOU one day! Love you Damon

Thank you, Damon! This was like therapy

remember watching ur videos when i was first beginning uni and now am 25, on this journey with u angel!!!

Thank you! Love this video!

THIS WAS AMAZING OMGGGGG. I have been thinking about such monotone things and stressing about them, but these IDEAS omg so many things to actually spend time thinking about 💕💕💕💕🥰

omg I relate to you so much. After these questions about my existence and universes, I started to enroll to short courses in Philosopgy, Physics and more stuffs

Amazing video ! Thank you 🙏🏾

this is going to be a video i come back to often, when i need to get back in touch with life

You are the best !!! I love you !!! Watching your videos these days has been so therapeutic, finally catching up!

Loved and enjoyed! Excellent content :)

please never stop making videos!! this actually made me less anxious

your videos make me feel so grounded and rejuvenated. Damon I’m telling you if you ever wrote a book I would zoom to go get it. so incredibly thankful for you and your work.

I haven’t been feeling like myself, and it seems like this video is exactly what I needed. ❤️❤️

This is my favorite video you've ever made. I think I. might be this existential on a daily basis, but at the end of the day you hit the nail right on the head with how I want to view life so thank you

I enjoyed this so much. Thank you. I. Lost my younger brother due to CVD. he was 7 years younger than me and I still recall the last time I saw him, standing at the airport waving goodbye to me when I returned to Europe from South Africa, in 2018. In 2019, I had planned to return to South Africa because I had decided to fly home every year. A friend of mine invited me to travel with her and a group of professional photographers, through Georgia (Europe), right up to the Russian border, at a very attractive price with a very good tour guide (she‘s very well connected). I decided to go to Georgia and go home the following year (2020). CVD hit the next year and I could not travel as SA. My Dad passed away in June 2020 and my brother, in 2021. I had not seen him since 2018. Had I not gone to Georgia, I would have at least seen him one last time (even though no one could have thought, something like CVD would. Happen). I hated myself for years after my brother‘s death, for not going home in 2019 and instead, choosing to go to Georgia. I‘ve forgiven myself, it was either that or I go mad. But yes, hug your loved ones, call them as often as you can and always leave, in a good relationship or respectful relationship. We do not know what tomorrow brings and some of us, have never had the opportunity to say goodbye.

Me and my best friend are in our mid-twenties and we always talk about these things and it’s such a pleasure to hear your experiences and listen to you eloquently and existentially discuss these life lessons, merci beaucoup ❤️❤️

DAMON I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CONTENT BOTH WITH A BURNING PASSION

I love your content sooo much!! I’m so happy that such a talented creator like you with such a great perspective on life is sharing his thoughts & art 💭😄

Thanks for the video!! really enjoyed it :))) stay safe and healthy!

i really needed to hear literally every signle word you said, i will be watching this video every time i need to. ( i will be watching it every day because i really need to)

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! I love this video so much! I have been and am feeling so many different and uncomfortable things as of late. All of which are basically me shedding my skin, transforming and becoming new. It can be ugly, hard, confusing, and being you down but my god I feel more each day that it’s time for something new. I have only the slightest clue of what I’m doing but I really feel that this is just the beginning and the more I actively DECIDE the more I will create! Damon you have been one of my biggest inspirations and showed my some glimpses of what is possible. You have affirmed the possibility of some of my dreams just by living and sharing you life. That is invaluable and I just always wish the very best for you. I’m excited to see where life is going✨✨🌟✨✨

Thank you for this Damon. This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear today. 🤍

I'm turning 27 this december and everything on this, I feel it waaaaaaaaaaay harder now. Thank you, Damon 🥺 happy birthday, and we're so proud of you!!!!
