    Griffin naps through his existential dread, Travis cries through his existential dread, and Justin disassociates through his existential dread. To be fair, they're all valid coping mechanisms. Edit: the public consensus seems to be that Travis' is actually the best technique and the Justins and Griffins are in fact not having a great time. In hindsight, calling them all valid coping mechanisms may be a reflection of my own Griffin-Justin hybrid coping style...

    I've found that I'm very similar to him. I understand existential dread and am sort of weirdly comforted by it. I process my emotions really strongly and quickly, kind of get everything out there and deal with them and then revert back to general cheerfulness. In certain ways I do imagine it's a natural disposition, but also I find there is something ok about how nothing can last. Mistakes don't last, bad relationships don't last, it's all going to be nothing so enjoy things while you can. Puts things in perspective, I think ¯\_ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ_/¯

  • @brodersami

    I have a similar disposition, and it mostly stems from having gone through that stuff fairly early in my life, and now I've come out on the other side and have had to learn to feel completely fine with the idea of one day dying. It's not that I'm suppressing the feeling, it's that it just doesn't bother me too much anymore so I don't think about it. I also think taking psychedelics has helped with truly cementing that sense of being at peace with things into my mind. And it's not like you completely disappear from this world; your atoms turn into other forms of life, mushrooms, plants, animals, and maybe even another human one day, and your thoughts and ideas are carried on in part by your children, your friends and their kids, and other people you've affected throughout your life. It's not all that bad. Honestly, once you reach this point, people's dread over things like death does become quite bizarre and funny and I can really relate to Griffin's attitude towards it. I know it's a very real issue to a lot of people since I've gone through it myself, but I can't help but think it's a bit silly to make such a huge melodramatic deal out of it.

    Because I grew up in a Christian home, and people would tell me that heaven was real and shit ya know? But then I would be like... "Wait... There are a bunch of different religions. And they all think THEY are right. So how do we know WE'RE right???" and that made me doubt the existence of God, and also heaven, which led me to the thought of "If heaven isn't real... *What happens when we die*" I tried not to think about it, but at night, when I had nothing to distract me from my existential crisis, I would think about it and think about it, wondering what the fuck would happen when we die. And I came to the conclusion that it would just be blackness. An eternity of endless dark. And that upset me. I still have the same horrific thoughts, but as I've gotten older (I'm 22 now) I figure "Hey, we're all gonna die NO MATTER WHAT so what is even the point of worrying about it, eh?" I still kinda worry about it though...

    If it helps, humanity is so disgustingly close to unlocking some form of limitless lifespan (or at least, close to extending our lifespans another X years, in which time we'll extend it another X years, and so on until we do have indefinite life) that young folks today and even people probably in their thirties have a good shot at seeing the end of the inevitability of death. It sounds fantastical and overblown, but then so did landing on the moon until we did it.

    Man, Justin saying "You're joking but do you know how many times mid episode that will happen" made me really happy because I will literally be in the middle of something and fucking existential dread will ram me like a fucking truck. I hear all the time that I'm not alone in how I think, but I never organically hear ANYONE EVER ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY EXPERIENCE IT. I need to actually HEAR about them experiencing it to make me feel any better. So this part of the episode was really cathartic for me.

    Fairy Tiel [slides in 9 months late to add on] I'm not familiar with alexithymia developed later in life, but it is often something people are born with, where you genuinely cannot notice or identify your emotions. For example you might know it's a bad feeling, but not if its anger, sadness, jealousy, disappointment, loneliness etc. It's often a feature of Autism / Asperger's, and generally people with Alexithymia learn to name their emotions based on secondary characteristics like physical sensations or logical assumptions. o/

    @@timesiick [slides in 10 months later to add on] I hope they're alright too but as someone with alexithymia, in my experience it's honestly not that bad to deal with, just different. There are many different strategies for figuring out emotions (I personally pretend I'm a character in a book or some such and extrapolate what I'm feeling to my actions and the adverbs used to describe them) but like... if things aren't good, I can usually tell that they're Not Good and work to fix it. It's only putting words to it and realising that I'm Feeling Emotions at all that bring trouble. Your concern is valid and it's lovely to see, but odds are? We're okay.

    🤷🏼‍♂️ My dad was 26 when he married my mom, who was 27 (they have the exact same birthday, just one year apart lol). And then they had their first kid - my older sister - when they were 29 & 30 respectively, and then me at 33 & 34. Seems normal, even preferable to me. I mean yeah, 26 & 27 is a BIT young to get hitched imo. But if you KNOW, then you know. And if you know, then fuck it why put it off? You know? No? Oh... However, having said that...I do think that people shouldn't have children until they're at LEAST 30 years old. Your 20s should be the last hurrah of youth, where you enjoy the freedom & (relative) lack of responsibility that comes with it. Then your 30s is where you finally settle down and settle into an actual "life" so to speak and set down a solid foundation that will support the rest of your life.

    On an episode of the movie crush podcast, Griffin revealed that he struggles with existential dread fairly often. He also -- on the Wonderful! podcast -- talked about starting therapy and writing in a journal and how that has changed the way he thinks about a lot of things. So although his disposition seems optimally unaffected in this video, it somewhat unsurprisingly turns out it's a bit more complicated.

    Agreed! Obviously, I love the stuff the McElroys put into the universe, and listen to most of their podcasts. Part of the reason I think so many people love them is that they are 'real' people, if also super funny and talented. I think the way Griffin's perspective on mental health has changed over time is extremely helpful and relatable too.

    Maybe trying writing stuff down in a journal or notebook. Sometimes it feels good to get thoughts down on paper, and it helps to put some things into focus. Plus some people have a hard time talking to people in general, so trying to talk it out with someone does not always work. Plus at least when it's written down, people can read what you're trying to say while avoiding the problem of the person not being able to explain what they're feeling due to them stumbling over words or drawing a blank or just being at a loss for words due to stress, anxiety or whatever. It's just a thought that I think might be helpful if it's a problem that tends to happen a lot. As for having trouble expressing or explaining emotions on the spot or in the heat of the moment, I have no idea.
