Fr 💀 Called him buddy And then said that

Hey! Kris here. I was the guy in the video! I greatly appreciate HG for having me in this call as it provides me a much more needed insight and understanding on how to really critically think about my situation. I felt so cognitively biased a month before uni that I forgot the basic & fundamental things to do when I'm in a thought loop or catastrophizing. I was reminded by dr.K to question my conclusions and challenge them with new insights by talking, reading, or listening to new resources. Because of that, I get to get back to a better mode of thinking so that I can propel myself forward better. So, thank you HG and dr.K. Thank you to the comment section for being so lovely. It brightens my day knowing that a lot of people validate my idea of changing career paths. I also had a laugh here where one guy said that I sounded like an Indian Tech scammer. Loved it! I also wanted to give you guys an update on my Psych uni situation as well. I've gone to uni for a week and it feels like the best week of my life (so far). I get to ask questions about the field that I love to the heroes without capes that we call psychologists and they're my lecturers as well (isn't that the loveliest thing that a person can have? Imagine being surrounded by your heroes day in and out AND you get to have conversations with them!). I get to use the knowledge from uni to that side project that I've been doing for a few months and surprisingly it helped a lot more people that I expected. I was learning about existentialism and a human's value structure and navigated a conversation with a couple of people where they felt like they didn't have any self worth, turns out I helped them a lot. I get to be in a space where everyone is so welcoming and heartwarming and I've made much more meaningful friends in a week than I've ever made in my life (well excluding a few people here and there). I gotta say that changing careers was the best decision I've ever made in my life. It made me feel like I'm in my skin again and I get to sing & dance on the way to uni to meet my heroes. Most importantly, I get to say "I'm proud of you" to the mirror every night before bed and wake up in the morning feeling that I'm gonna make it in life. Thank you for providing me a place to be heard and to (unintentionally) help other people in youtube with similar things that I'm going through. Loveliest wishes, KrisBoi

After years of battling with my mental health, I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere. I found out I often struggle making decisions due to my childhood, and I almost felt like a robot, waiting for instructions, standing still if none were given. Obviously since I am an adult, those instructions didn't ever come. I recently found out that I didn't really know what I wanted to do? All this time I thought I did, but it was what my parents instilled in me. It took me a long time, but I think I finally found what I want to do but I know heavily struggle with finding the "right time" to apply for jobs.

I'm not saying this applies for everyone, but this is what my situation is / was like. My parents are very loving, although have always worried about me way too much, sheltering me to the point where they wouldn't let me "explore the world" on my own. They decided everything for me. When I do stuff, I have the urge to ask them "can I?" instead of telling them "I'm going to", despite being 22. And I feel like this bleeds into the rest of my life, seeking validation from others like my friends. Everyone has always considered me to be the "computer kid" and so in my mind I was like "well, it makes sense I'm going to study IT then", but I never factored into it that I didn't really enjoy it. I thought I did. Maybe? Idk. I recently realized this, and have been trying to find out who I am exactly as weird as that sounds. I've always been who the people around me wanted me to be, people pleaser to the max kinda lol. Now that I'm trying to find my *own* direction in life, I have to do it myself. Nobody else knows what I want of course. But obviously this means no more "you need to do this, then this, then this". And I struggle with that. I feel like I need a roadmap or a step by step guide on how to do xyz because all I know is being told what to do. I can't do stuff, or better put I don't know where to start? Like I feel motivated but I feel like I need someone to guide me to step 1, and then I can follow the ladder to step 20 on my own from there. This goes for big things like looking for a job, but even when playing games I'll be googling for hours before I start. I press New Game, and a screen pops up: "choose your difficulty". I'll look up what to choose lmao. 3 classes to choose? Better look at Reddit and see what people say I should choose. Anyways! The way I found something I might like is honestly by doing stuff I was embarrassed of doing. I'm a thinker and I have so many thoughts I want to write down. So I thought I wanted to write stories. Browsing through experiences of other people writing stories, I found out that there's more jobs in writing than just novel writing. I love talking about the things I watch or play, and I love writing, so when I found out there's journalism that covers that I thought "that's what I want to try". And like I said, I have no idea what step 1 is. But I'm doing things like making a portfolio by writing, and that feels good even though if I'm not sure it's necessarily the right thing to do. I hope that explained it a bit? I know this was very long. I hope y'all are doing well, you got this! Don't give up looking because you never know when you might discover something.

I'm a maths student and quite a good one but try to engage me in that shit while I'm having to listen to someone and empathise with them, hell no. Having a professor is all I can do where that is concerned. Even then I want to politely tell them to fuck off and leave me to my maths.

As an Indonesian that studies IT cause my parents did not approve my passion of psychology, it's really interesting to see someone like Chris here taking risks that in the will fulfil his life. Sharing for a bit: Yes, my experiences also comes with guilt when taking other major except IT due to financial stability. But, my passion in psychology still stay intact and I'm happy that my daily life consist of psychological experiences (positive or negative). This passion weirdly maneuvers towards my study and daily life. Ex: UI UX Design, Human-computer interaction (HCI), research, got the opportunity to take 2 electives consist of psychology subject (yes it is an eye-opening experiences), part-time artist, etc. At least it opens up to new possibilities to test out. In the end of the day, still prefer taking psychology as my major tho and kinda have regrets :)). But am I sad now? Not really. Am I going to take psychology as a major one day? Probably :). Like Dr K said there's no way to know what the future will be and mistakes can be learned. I even met my now gf cause I met my friend while studying IT, covid hits, online study, playing too much Valorant, he invites her to the party, chatting and calling and voila :D Ramblings aside, there will be ups and downs in our life and we have to keep learning about life cause it's too random to know what happens next. Idk if this is Dharma but it feels like it. So, keep your journey alive yall. I also hope that Indonesia also puts values and opens up the topic of psychology even wider.

However, more and more I feel that this is not for me. I have the same idea that I don't want to have a job where I am manipulating people into buying things. It feel so drainging, but I have the pressure of my family and people around me to finish it. I have been very interested in psychology for 2 years now and the more I think of starting over again with another study, the scarier it gets, because what if I fail this too. This video really made me see things in a different perspective and I am going to start psychology. Simply, the idea of helping people already gives me so much fulfilment compared to what I am studying now. Thank you so much for this video and for all the others. I am grateful for people like you🧚🏻‍♂️

Having a marketing formation before getting into the psychology might be quite the sleek move, actually. Sure it is challenging to be in such young field in your country, but with proper marketing, your chances to place yourself early in a growing market could turn you into a major player 20 years down the line. And all that by actually helping people.

Reminds me of a story I heard from a guy who went to Vietnam. He met two guys who were barely scraping by, but happy struggling since they enjoyed their job making documentaries. The same day, he met this much older man who had wealth and was enjoying retirement. That man decided to work towards having a happy retirement, where the other guys decided to be happy in the present. Two valid perspectives, two very different ways of life

didnt like all the jumpcuts, felt like i was missing a bunch. Great conversation!

Congrats on 1M subscribers!

Needed this video❤️

CONGRATS ON 1MILL!

😊DR K...THE ENDING MADE ME CRY...IT WAS LIKE THE MESSAGE WAS JUST FOR ME🥰

we all need to be humble and I am glad both sides are showing that, however I am still awed at how Dr K can be this calm when talking about stuff. I have a feeling a lot of people if they listen to this, they will call him stupid and idiotic. And that will cause him more depression and cause more mental problems. I think we all can take away from both sides in this video, one is about being candid about their feelings and seek help and get things fixed and the other side is a good listener and will not jump to conclusion immediately.

Dang what Dr. K said about how there is so much more to learn actually has me considering if it would be rewarding to pursue my desire to be a therapist

You probably got the wrong friends, but got your heart the right place, follow it.

I hate the mini cuts all the time to remove the silence and make it seem like they talk really fast. Please don't do that.

This is amazing!

Note or whoever edited this video, it was very difficult for me to watch because literally all of the silence in between them talking was cut out so it’s constant words with no time to process and an all-around unnatural feeling

what in the fresh hell are these jump cuts oh my god i‘m s c r e a m i n g this is literally raising my anxiety levels

Thank you Dr. K :) Also, good luck Chris!

Leaving a job you hate to something you like/love is so much better. I did the same thing, took a pay cut of roughly £4k annually and I am so much happier for it. Money isn't everything, as long as you can pay all your bills and live/support those that you need to support then go for the change!

Congrats on 1 Million Dr K!

Awesome Wise Dr K!!!!

34:09 that's straight up just Inside Out. Embracing the sad emotion was the main plot of the movie.

I liked the video, but I didn't need every millisecond of silence edited out. Sometimes the listener needs time to reflect too.

oh god I'm so behind on everything anyway it does get better I feel it

imo, an indonesian with that level of fluency and articulation (not just in spoken english, but expression in general) will go far in life. that dude is a "rare breed."

As a fellow Indonesian, I gotta say I have a lot of respect and admiration of Chris' dream and what he had done.

it's amazing that someone as well-spoken as this has been made to feel like his grasp of the language was bad, to the point where he was genuinely worried that he wouldnt understand his future patients if he was successful in becoming a psychologist

Good luck! Semoga sukses, Chris!

1 million subs yayyyy!!

I feel like the editing cutting the pauses and everything takes away a bit, in the sense that loosing the natural pace of the conversation doesn’t allow me to reflect about the sentences the same way (dr K’s as well as the other person). You have to pause the video which isn’t so agreable imo I get that we’re in a tiktok era but what I loved about those long videos was that we could go deep into it even while tidying cooking or smth (because when you tidy things up in ur environment it helps sorting your mind right?) I liked getting the essence of the conversation while listening to the conversation ^^ And I feel like if people wanted it to be faster they could increase the speed of the video

Loved the guest

What I learned: The best thing that will stick with me is when going through a probably similar feeling is that "You know the feeling of [insert a negative emotion here], and knowing that I'll be alright"; Is a relaxing feeling.

Ayo it’s so scary how I relate to the videos these days

1 MILLION SUBS LETS GOOOOOO

AHHH I JUST WANT TO WORK A SHITTY RETAIL JOB AND LIVE ALONE WHY DOES LIVING COST SO MUCH WHY DO I HAVR TO BE SO SKILLED AND INVESTED INTO MY JOB JUST TO LIVE ALONE

"developmentally appropriate," very useful and concise phrase. gonna use that with my friend who's a new dad

I like that the video is trying to make a compact version of the stream, but at least add some room for silence. The sudden cuts are distracting.

Can you please not cut the video constantly when there is a silent moment, keep it in!! Its so valueable!❤

As a non-native English speaker the fast cuts in this video made it harder for me to listen and reflect on what's being said, even tho I'm quite fluent in English. I always really appreciated the natural pauses that were left in previous videos.

Thinking can be a type of procrastination. Watch that you are not just putting something off when you think you are planning. :)

34:11 "We think we're doing the right thing in life because we don't feel bad about it"

not a fan of the mid-thought jump cuts but thanks for the good content as always!

This started out so meta but turned into something we can all use

I drive a Mazda from the year 2000 and it brings me pleasure every time

Love the video. Just a random question, but did you recently start doing jump cuts? I first noticed it in the habits video, and it's become pretty distracting as of late. The content is still great, but the conversations feel very robotic now.

this guys a good dude

he is not burdening his parents. they might not communicate it to him, but they would much rather see him less wealthy but alive and happy than wealthy, miserable and on the brink of ending things. i always ask people if money suddenly was not an issue for anyone if they would still choose the career they want to go into and if they say yes, i feel confident that they are making the best decision for themselves. so it sounds to me like he is doing the right things tbh, maybe just overanalyzing himself a tiny bit. i hope he knows its a field that is in demand in plenty of other countries if the opportunities arent there where he is now. could always go back at another point in time if necessary

Your timing's are just wonderful. I just finished a degree in physics and am switching to psychology. I have very similar concerns as Chris here. Let's hope that I'll manage this change financially. I wish you a lot of luck too, Chris!

As an Indonesian and is still living in Indonesia, mental health problems are definitely not given enough attention here. I have to work hard to convince my parents that I needed therapy because of the amount of stigma from the people in my life who tells me that I just need to be strong, that I just need to be mentally stronger as if all my problems are my fault and going to therapy means I'm weak. I have to deal with that mentality for the longest time even now I still have that mindset sometimes. It shows how bad it is here.

Also the disappointing your parents thing is so relatable

What Dr K was saying about worrying about being able to cook good food when you haven’t even been to culinary school yet did resonate with me, I often think about going into teaching but I’m afraid I won’t be very good at it. But how can I be good at it if I n’a ent actually learned how to do it??

If I can pitch in on the quick cuts, I personally don't like it either, mostly for reasons people have listed already. I think silence is really important for processing and to take it away makes the videos much less effective. That's just my take.
