This is what I came to say. The thing about being self-assured while young, and not having the people who you would listen to, tell/convince you of this (what you now know) is that you will have to discover it yourself. The beauty is that in the present, you have now jumped over that threshold. Continue to be grateful, because it is just good fortune. Also, if you look around, you will find that there are many people (your agemates and older people) who think the way you used to think, but unfortunately for them, they may never have the same reckoning. Time spent learning is not a waste, unless you view it through a different lens.

I'm 27. Everyone expected great things from me. I failed my engineering degree because I had trouble studying, I couldn't understand anything. Expelled, I pursued my talents and became a hyper realist sculptor. I drifted into full blown poverty. Went back to college and started my degree in business. 5 years of being adrift which could have been used to get that degree in the first place. A couple of days ago I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. That explains why I'm still not able to function as an adult. Next week I'll visit the bipolar disorder specialist.

Hey, I'm 29 and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a little over 8 years ago. I also started college but was unable to complete my degree due to my mental illness. For a long time I thought I was just lazy or lacked the courage to endure the boredom of doing schoolwork, but thankfully my mindset shifted over time, especially after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It's not that I didn't care or had some character defect--I was sick, and having an illness, a disability, can make some things impossible, at least at certain times. Depression has been pretty awful for me and right now I'm coming out of the severest depressive episode I have yet had. I wish you the best, and I hope you and I both make it to that place called happiness.

These are things we often overlook. We want everything now and tangible, but there are so many better things that will happen when God judges you for the intangible things that you've done for his children.

Life can be better. It is important that you stop comparing to others. You will always feel depressed and sad when you compare to other people, seeing that they have what you don't have. I struggled a lot with this, and I had a severe depression. We need to understand that you are the main protagonist in you life, you have a story being unfolded to you, not others. One of the most important things you can do when you feel down is reading the bible, especially the new testament and then putting your faith in Christ. Believe me when I tell you that when you come to have faith in Christ and follow Him, your life will change drastically. Especially when you understand that eternal life made possible through faith in Christ will be something so amazing that life on Earth will pale ln comparison. The struggles here are what is part of life, but after that there will be a time when there will be no more struggles or sadness ever, if you decide to put Christ first. I pray that you find your comfort. Remember that after bad things, good things will surely follow. Stay strong!

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE only way to Heaven? Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.'' Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him. Biblical explanation of the Gospel: God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell. Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him. For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned. No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin. Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him. This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him by reading God's Word. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13) ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15) ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19) Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6) (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so. In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'' ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19) ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41) ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21) ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

As a 25 year old, seeing most of everyones comments made me realize that im not alone going through difficult mental health problems. As a matter of fact, we are all almost going through similar battles. This is honestly comforting because sometimes you feel all alone thinking that nobody understands how you’re feeling but here we all are. I wish that someday we all figure out our lives and overcome our battles. Just take it one step at a time, don’t put too much pressure on yourselves, and know that ALOT of people are also going through similar battles. Just fight through it, stay strong, and one day you’ll look back at the hardships you went through and be able to smile through it. We are all in this together.

I think everyone wastes their 20's in a sense. It's a decade for self discovery, often with mistakes. If you get to your 30's and learn from your past (but not dwell on it) and apply to your present and future you'll do just fine.

I'm 30, it's been the same with me. Not only anxiety but a bit of depression, lots of panic, agoraphobia and whatnot. For me, 20's were the worst and super overrated, I don't know why people romanticize it so much. Everything is so childish and superficial, it's a phase where we think we're mature already, but we're really just teens on steroids dealing with a shitload of emotional problems and pressure from society (I think our whole generation knows that pretty well). 20's are usually a time for mistakes, self-discovery, low self-esteem, battling our own insecurities, etc. And it sucks even more that society thinks we should be able to take our most important life decisions at that age, which is ridiculous. It's funny how most of us felt the urge to seek external validation and tried hard to belong or portray a "successful" imagine of ourselves to others as if it even mattered, just like when you're listening to a song and portray yourself as being the singer in a concert. We all have our aptitudes, abilities, etc that make us who we are, our very own essence. We're all unique and we'll deal with our own struggles. I feel like i'm finally able to become the best version of my trueself once and for all. In your 30's, you're way more mature for literally everything, you decisions, your relationships, your social life, your professional life, etc. I wouldn't have done anything differently. Life is simple, you live through what you have to live through and you don't look back. Your best years are yet to come. And remember this, it's NEVER a waste. You had to get through that to become who you are today.

Turn 29 lonely single no friends no family lost idk what the hell am doing???

Early 20s for me was aimlessly going through life binge drinking on weekends and partying and doing random jobs never getting promoted , no real drive. I'm 27 now off alcohol and drugs since January. A month into nofap. Have my own shed building company for over a year. Just recently ran my first marathon. Relationships with family and friends have never been better. Cold showers, intermittent fasting. I found just tackling one bad habit and creating one good habit at a time will snowball and subsequent successes come easily and naturally. Good luck Kings and Queens in this game called life.

I'm 33 and I'm nearing the end of a business PhD program which I absolutely did not enjoy and spent 8 years in (11 years if counting the 2 years I spent in an economics PhD and 1 gap year after that). I've struggled so much with anxiety and depression along the way, and made some very stupid life choices, like "self-medicating" with weed, spending tons of money I didn't have on video games just because I felt like I found a community there, and breaking up with a gf who loved me very much. Life in the last few years has been mostly like a blur to me, and it's as if I fast forwarded in life only to find out I know nothing about it at all. I'm now balding and also learning just how average I truly am as a person, whereas previously I had so much ego in me. I'm hoping to rebuild myself as a normal person and lead a healthy/productive life. Wishing everyone who's struggling in life to find their own path!

Hi again. I just wanted to tell you about one of my neighbors. She was a counselor and she said when she was young she had a dozen mental illnesses and even tried to commit suicide. She then decided to study psychology and her classes taught her so much about herself and her life and she became a certified counselor and now she helps teens and they can relate to her since she suffered what they are going through. She always said that an addict can best help an addict. So maybe you can enroll in psychology classes online or something and help others 😊

Crazy how I’m turning 22 and I already feel like this 😅 I guess I needed to watch this , redirect all my focus on me and my happiness. It’s a privilege to have such videos at a young age , it teaches us to make better decisions before we regret about it later.

I went from a 2016 Camaro SS ZL1 to a 98 Corolla over the last year because I didn't see the point in the image. I stopped shopping for clothes and going out on the weekends, I stopped drinking. I'm just focusing on my trucking career so that I can eventually start my own company, being in the weightroom 5 days a week to put on some muscle to boost confidence, and doing anything and everything I can to fix the relationship between me and my son's mother. All I want is to be successful and to have my family back. I had to bury that cocky, arrogant, self righteous moron that everyone thinks is me but truly isn't. This path I'm on has been hard but it's full filing to know I've got a plan with little goals set that I'm slowly but surely reaching with each passing day and I no longer care about the image and don't associate with people who will unfortunately continue to go down that negative path well into their 30s. we're gonna make it brah

I just had the hardest 18 months of my life but the wisdom I’ve gained is priceless and I am so privileged. One thing I’ve realised in life is everyone at some point has to go through this transition. Through childhood were groomed by our family, friends, school, society to be a specific version of ourselves. We become what everyone else wants us to be. There will have to be a point in your life you look within yourself and discover who you are. I can’t stress enough how painful that experience can be, you could feel like your whole life has been a lie, however it is the start of you living the life you chose. I used to feel so behind in life being 23 but now I feel so exited to start my life. I have the rest of my life to go and more experiences to have.

There are only a certain number of patterns though.

My 20s were almost the negative image of yours, but just as bad. I saw the game everyone was playing and wanted no part in it. So I didn't pursue education or a career, was purposefully anti-social and spent most of my time being miserable on my own, drinking and playing video games. At around 25 or 26 I realized how miserable and depressed I was , and really started soul searching and thinking about what I actually wanted out of life. I came to the conclusion my only real dream was having a happy family one day, and with that came the realization that wouldn't be happening if I kept on the way I was going. I've since worked hard on my social skills and made a lot of friends, taken on new hobbies and started doing sports and I already feel like a new person. I've even started exploring the dating scene in search of my better half. To everyone who's aimless and miserable out there: Think about what you truly want out of life and do whatever is necessary to get it! You can do it!

Thanks for sharing your story, it helps a lot. I don't think anyone realizes just how difficult it is being in our 20's, trying to make it on our own and become an adult while still clinging to the idea that acceptance from others is everything. The best advice I can offer to people struggling is that (1) you always have hope - if you keep reminding yourself that you can get better and if you keep trying, you will eventually get better, and (2) you have to find someone to talk about how you feel with, whether it's a friend, a therapist, or just some random person that takes the same bus as you. You have to spill your thoughts and feelings out to another human to be able to better understand them and start to head in the right direction. Trying to get better yourself and hiding your struggles because you're embarrassed/don't want to be a nuisance/whatever will just make things worse and make it take longer to overcome your struggles. No matter how bad you think you've fucked up and how embarrassed you are by the decisions you make, there are people out there who won't judge you and just want you to get better.

Thanks for your story. I’ll be 28 in a couple of months and definitely feel like I’ve wasted my time. Your mindset helps for sure. I definitely have learned some lessons I wouldn’t have understood without going through the pain. Good luck to you!

I noticed this a lot as I entered my late teens and early twenties. There’s so much external pressure. I get called a prude for not wanting to drink. When I say no I’m always asked at least 5 more times and they bargain with “it’s only a little”. It’s definitely important to reflect on your values and set boundaries for yourself. For me, I’ve set a boundary with alcohol, and that’s hard for a lot of people to understand. Just stick to what you believe in guys.

I’m 22 and used to like drinking but being emetophobic (the phobia of vomiting) made the times when I went too far truly awful. I had to stop alcohol for medical reasons (not related to alcohol, it just made drinking even the smallest amount of it nauseating) and I’m still afraid of what people would think or how I would do in parties and social events since I’ve pretty much never done that kind of stuff without drinking (as an adult). But after my first party without drinking, I was also relieved of how much better I felt when going to sleep and the following morning. I wasn’t as confident during that party as I was when I could drink, but those kind of things come with time and self care, and in the long run are way more beneficial in everyday life than needing a pint to stop worrying about stuff. Most of my friends like to get absolutely wasted to relieve stress, and I’m not judging them, but I’ve set my boundaries.

i learned all this when i turned 29... I was one of the people where going out and drinking was my only personality trait. I couldn't do anything without alcohol. a year sober now, and its crazy how much alcohol is "needed" in society. I lost so many friends because i stopped drinking.

@@PraveenSriram thanks! getting married in 5 or so weeks time 3 kids down the line mortgage and everything it ain't easy but it worth it. Don't look back look forward enjoy want time you have left fck what everyone else thinks.

I sometimes punish myself for having wasted so much time on my 20s. Now I'm 29, I've spent almost 2 years slowly killing my old self and bringing who I really am to the surface. Working out, saying no to the toxic friendships, having break ups that cured me of my needy behavior with women. I am creating the life I want now, even if it sucks now and then, the overall is that I am becoming a person that I am proud of. There's not coming back

This is exactly what I am struggling with at 17, I am so glad I watched this. You’ve saved me a lot of trouble. I just need to learn how to be myself regardless of judgement. Thank you so much.

I'm currently wasting my twenties but really want to make changes, struggling with social anxiety and depression for many years which has just ate the years away, not wanting to go outside has made it so much worse. I'm always trying to make a better version of myself but just feel like giving up at times. I don't want to waste anymore time than I already have.

I wasted my 20s because I got married early. Then she left right before my 30s. It was jarring but I'm a better man now because of it

You’re really smart and relatable in the way you have articulated what a lot of people do/did too. Self awareness is such a liberating feeling.

Some people are 40, 50 and still never get out of that mindset about wanting to impress people. That's great that at your young age (30 is still very young my dad said and he's almost 70), that you're able to get mental clarity and have the desire to be mentally strong. I'm 37 and I am STILL insecure about how people view me. I do know that ultimately you can't control what other's think of you, so you're right about that!

Also, as a side note (as I keep watching) - I had a very similar journey actually. I was also misdiagnosed with MS. In my case it did turn out to be Lyme and anxiety related. You are incredibly brave to share this! Rooting for your further journey.

Definitely spent my entire childhood and twenties seeking validation from others. I am 32 now and only in the past year have I discovered who I like to be for myself. This was partially triggered by a toxic relationship I was in for about a year and a half (about a year and a half ago). I've learned to not care about what others think, whether that is friends or family. I still have a million things to learn but I can finally say that I live on my own terms. Great video 👏

Im 28 and lived a similar life to you, deleted all my social media, sold all my designer crap and living a life more true to who I am. Don't care what other people think anymore and I was silly to focus on focusing on that for so long. I feel a lot more free now.

I earned a double major in Spanish and Latin American studies and a M.A. in Spanish while studying abroad in Europe for both degrees. I of course posted pics as a traveled all around Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. I was all of a sudden queen and getting a bunch of likes from everyone still playing the game never sat well with me. I remember posting a pic of my passport stamped with all of the countries I'd been to and a few "mean girls" asking me what they needed to do to get a passport. I actually began to feel sorry for them at that point. Smh!

I was always told in my late teens that I'd get somewhere in life, have the perfect home, get married have a family plus have a great stable career, etc. The sad thing is I've got none of those things yet. Most of my life has been working shite dead-end jobs hoping to get trained up or at least gain a qualification due to being a decade-long employee which never happened which hurt a lot and the rest was spent feeling sorry for myself drinking all the time. I finally woke the fuck up a year ago and started really trying to rebuild myself up again after feeling like I was the only person in the world with this issue. It's hard man but everyone has a different journey in life.

Believe it or not. That's because "anxiety" or stress in general; is a physical symptom which when recurring can become physical sickness.

I'm 27 going on 28, near the end of my 20s. Something I realized is that previous generations romanticized the 20s and vilified 30s and 40s. The reality is, a lot of people do not truly start putting it together until their 30s. Sometimes, you have to enter the world and feel things out which is what your 20s are for. I'm going on my second degree and I really didn't figure out what I truly wanted to do with my life until last year. Mental illness is also a real thing, and a lot of mental disorders do not manifest until a person's 20s or 30s, both for men and women. Mental disorders can also be extremely difficult to catch until they reach a certain severity or progression. I'm diagnosed with severe grade major depressive disorder and ADHD, something that I didn't fully get under control until last year. Things take time.

I am literally going through this at this very moment, Lost my best friend a week after I turned 21 in one of the worst ways, and it affected me much deeper than I understood at the time, I self medicated and as the years went by it got worse and worse , I fell deeper into depression and addiction, Finally when I was 27, after so much time just floating through life, I began to understand the whys , what’s , where , who’s of my life, I started therapy, picked up consistent weightlifting again, worked on rewiring my brain through discipline, I also achieved a lot that year which showed me again what I was really capable of when I focused and had purpose and intention behind my actions, financially and physically, Now at 28, I’m very much aware of the life I want to live, I no longer self medicate and I feel myself on the path to greatness, It feels good to see other who have been though a similar path speak about it, like yourself, and let’s me know things will be ok!!

Wow. Thank you so much for this video. You probably helped many people (also me) to understand what they're going through and also letting them (and me) know that there is a light after all that darkness and suffering. You have to find out what your belief system is telling you and how it destroys you unconsciously, that is the key. Thank you so so much for this. I wish you the very best.

Wow you described this so well. While the details of many people's stories may differ greatly, a common theme is the damage caused when our egos seek external validation. I fell into depression at around 25 for basically the same reason, it got steadily worse over a couple years, then after being treated with medication, counselling and (most of all) lifestyle changes, things started steadily improving. Right at the end there you touched on how your breakdown was in fact valuable in that it made you who are today. I think that's a wonderfully useful way to of framing it. Although depression is an awful thing to go through I came out the other side a better, more empathic person, as well as having learned valuable lessons about how the mind works and the importance of healthy habits. I'm 30 now and probably in the best shape mentally of my life.

Here I am 29.7 years old. At my lunch break, in a job I don’t “love”. It must’ve been fate to see this video. Looking back I’m right there with you bud. I think that humans are just social creatures and “fitting in” is so hardwired into how we evolved that we strive to achieve social acceptance. Failure to do so gives us stress and anxiety. We just want to be validated so badly. Things that have helped me so far are: staying off of social media, living humbly, saving money, exercising, appreciating nature, learning a new skill everyday, and changing my friends up to people with similar down to earth values. Let’s leave that stuff behind together bud, we’re gonna rock our 30’s now… then our 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s 😂. We’re gonna die with a smile on our face that we lived the rest of it the way we wanted it, in the best possible way, surrounded by the people that care about us. 👍🏽👍🏽 Thanks for the video again. God bless.

I am 22 and I’m starting to realize my flaws now. I realize deep down I am extremely insecure and afraid of being judged or looked down upon. I try to dress well so i look good from the outside. I tend to not share the bad parts of my life with my friends and that has led me to lose some of my closer friends. I think this is one of the reasons why I have lost so many friends - I am not really vulnerable with many people. I am not a relatable person as a result. I am not really happy even though I am achieving great things in school and I try to seek validation from the external world. I wish to get to a point where my happiness comes from within and I am content with who I am.

Great thing you recognize that, it's good being honest to yourself. I understand how you feel and I know how you can get actual fulfillment from inside. I know it might sound weird to you at first, but giving Jesus a chance changes everything and it gives what you're looking for. By humbly seeking and asking Him to show Himself to you, He will do that in His own way and own time. It might not be what you expect, but you'll get the answer and eviedence eventually. Once you accept Jesus as lord, you get fulfillment and peace and happiness when doing good deeds, and it feels better than other things. You might not like what you're reading as of now, but giving Him a chance doesn't hurt to try. You have nothing to lose. Remember that patience is key and by not giving up the search immediately you will get what you're looking for. Alright take care brother!

This reminds me of the quote by Cooley: "I am not who you think I am. I am not who I think I am. I am who I think, you think I am" - it blew my mind when I first heard it. I'm glad you're in a better place David, I'm sure this video is one a lot of people will refer back to at different stages of their life. Edit: yeah, the quote blew my mind too when I first heard it

I'm proud of u, you're being so brave putting this out here it really helps the world. When those feelings of self doubt creep in, remember, that you have been born to love and to be loved. Embrace those thoughts, and tell them, today is a new day, then think your self loving thought anyway. ❤️🤗

Hi David. I'm 26, turning 27, and seems like sharing some of your past experiences. Thanks for being so honest in this video. Maybe it'll help me to do the right decisions quicker than later.

I spent my 20s broke, struggling, & acting out on trauma which led to a ton of self sabotage. I wasted my time. I don’t know if I ever thought I was worthy of the lifestyle I saw my counterparts living but I wanted it. I did better in the early 20s vs the late but I feel like the struggle in my late 20s was just a processing of what I’d gone through, breaking generational curses & personal stuff. I’m super excited about my 30s and the abundance that is coming with it. I learned so much in this past decade. I’ll be 30 in about 19 days 🥇

I'm 27 and I've had chronic anxiety my whole life. I always try to control things. Well it recently caught up to me and I developed gastritis. basically I couldn't eat because my stomach was so inflamed from stress. So I had to completely drop all my anxiety driven behaviors and really change how I operate. It is a blessing in disguise. Get well man.

@@neverlookback1244 biggest tip I can give is when you’re anxious about something, understand that whatever you are anxious about might happen is a lot easier than the stress you are putting yourself through on the inside.

Absolutely brilliant. Well said. You seem to have that natural thing where people are drawn to you because you seem se easy to be around. I would say keep this up for sure. I'm thinking of starting a small thing; I'm 38 and have a 26 year old brother brother and I know life won't be perfect but with him it's as if I see him as little me and I want to go back and give him all the advice I can. Much love.

Thank you for this video, David. I'm 22 years old, and I feel like I was going through the path you were following. I always felt like something was missing in me. I was never enough, and I would always seek validation from the outside. I studied business because that would make my family proud and bring me money. I invest in stocks and have all of my finances meticulously written down on Google Sheets. I've achieved so many of the goals I set myself, and yet I still felt empty. I had a mental breakdown over a month ago, and since then I've been getting professional help, thinking and reflecting on who I am and what I want to become. I still don't know what the future holds, but I'm glad I had this turning point. It hurts, sometimes I don't want to get out of bed, and I'm sure you've been through this as well. Hearing your words and your experience gave me hope. Once again, thank you.

Thank you sure, I'm 21 and you helped do the right things in life!

This wasn't a waste. You spent your 20's learning how you don't want to live. That is incredibly valuable.

and here you are copy / pasting a comment for external validation.. you probably didn’t even bother to watch the video

I'm turning 30 in June, I have a lot of similar stuff as you did man, lately I started to realise, sometimes I'm embarassed but I value it at the same time so I know what not to do and how to procede and do the right thing in future, take care dude

Yeah, I can relate to this. I definitely am guilty of wanting to be perceived as being successful by others...I feel like my mental health is deteriorating and have found myself having thoughts like this more in recent times. I could do with resetting my mindset like you. Thanks for sharing this video.
