Hearted Youtube comments on HealthyGamerGG (@HealthyGamerGG) channel.

  1. I think it's also worth knowing for many guys that a lot of women struggle quite a lot with similar problems. Much more than I think most men are aware of, and they would be surprised by how many women feel nearly exactly the same as they do. Dating, loneliness, anxiety, social validation and feeling behind on life are all things that really tear on most women's mental health and self-worth. We just don't often talk about it in "mainstream" spaces, so it makes it seems as if it doesn't exist but it does - so very much!

  2. My mom used to try to hide the power cable to my xbox (this was early 2000s) and would get livid when I played too much. I was a private school kid who made B's, was in AP science classes, played on 2 soccer teams, did track and cross country. My videogaming came from a mixture of being bored at school, seasonal depression, having ADHD (undiagnosed then), and wanting a competitive outlet that scaled with my speed of learning(competitive Halo player, MLG etc).

  3. the way you decode everyday problems with scientific accuracy and giving us solutions is impressive!!

  4. Can confirm. "This reminds me of that one time..." is a great way to yes-and a topic while telling a personal story, and people do love personal stories!

  5. Dr. Ks one grey hair from not becoming a monk and then killing it at Harvard Medical School and then helping all these gamers fix themselves 🎉🎉🎉

  6. I think despite a lot of the cringe and misinformation on Tik Tok around mental health, I think it's nice people are beginning to have a wider discussion about it. know so many people who are looking to get diagnosed and personally, I'm looking forward to starting ADHD module this week 👏

  7. Im 27 years old right now, spent about 6-7 years of my twenties high on herion and methamphetamine, but here i am clean 1 year in. I missed so much time and "catching up" is something im trying to fast track right now. Its frustrating and disappointing how much time i waisted. No savings no home to call my own no friends pretty much no life.. I hope everyone the very best in getting along in life. Because i know how it feels to be left behind

  8. “We are inheriting a world that is fundamentally broken.” For a line that is filled with despair, it actually gives me hope. It lifts some responsibility in the sense that it is not my fault, but I can still do something if I want. It says that because everything is broken, i have the ability to approach it from any direction I want. That it’s genuinely just a sandbox. I’m graduating this Thursday and actually just got off a call with my therapist where she had to console my anxiety towards the future. So this video has been a nice further lift In my hope and what I can do.

  9. I'm not even really a gamer and I don't watch twitch, but I love this content so much more than most other psychology/therapy/personal-improvement oriented content because you do a phenomenal job of contextualizing things with a story, explaining the neurological mechanisms at play, and structuring it like a conversation. I feel engaged by your content and I always learn something about myself and, most importantly, I learn WHAT I need to address to fix these problems as well as your tips on how to address it, rather than just being told "just work harder, put your phone down, stay motivated..." by someone who just wants to tell people what to do for the sake of gaining a following.

  10. Brave of him to be this open and honest. This one hit close. These talks are truely some aoe healing
    1200
  11. The skill tree is the whole reason I bought the thing!
    1200
  12. "you are constantly spawning into a random person's life" mindblown
    1200
  13. Plot twist: Dr. K has actually been an AI therapist the whole time
    1200
  14. The fact that doubt is the opposite of discipline really strike me, especially when I think about my daily life. When I feel resolve, I get more focused and my body is kind of warming up.
    1200
  15. I want a relationship with Dr. K
    1100
  16. I just realized Dr. K is almost immune to being taken out of context, because he says things that can be taken out of context constantly.
    1100
  17. Nutbusting yogis were the original chads
    1100
  18. Only doctor k says:”stop giving me money, i am teaching you guys shit”

  19. A tactic that works for me when I remember it is the phrase "Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly". It's a silly thing, because it sounds wrong, but the reality is, anything that's worth doing, on balance, it's better to do it slowly, inefficiently, weakly, etc. than it is to not do it at all. So I push myself to sometime to just do the worst thing that pushes me towards the goal. By worst I don't mean actually bad or harmful, but I mean kind of the most pathetic. This gets around the "not enough" feeling. It's not meant to be enough. If anything, I might feel resistance because it's not pathetic enough. Then when I'm actually started, I am allowed to do more, but I certainly don't push myself to do more. It's the pushing that creates the resistance anyways. At the start there was a fear of external judgment, but really I had the opposite. I was more effective overall, so people were happy.

  20. I realized I use it to disassociate, slip into a fantasy, when I'm unhappy or grieving. But limerence ends up in grief too.
    1100
  21. I absolutely love how Dr. K is so innocent but tries to understand everything.
    1100
  22. Note to self: Meditation to focus on one thing, be bored more, stop ruminating thoughts by noticing, resolving.

  23. As someone with ADHD, that "eye-opening" technique also works well with falling asleep! I used to be sleep deprived because when I lay and try to sleep, I would try to keep my eyes shut. But what would happen is that my mind would begin to think about a lot of random things that prevent me from getting sleep. I noticed if I kept my eyes open my mind would be clear, and that has helped me rest at night.
    1100
  24. I think a Dr. K video exploring Limerence more deeply would be great! It's something not very well known (outside the internet) and that a lot of people experience thinking it's true love.

  25. I’ve realized soulmates are not a predestined person out there meant to be with you. A soulmate is someone who jives well with you that you meet at the right place and time. That means you can have more than one soulmate, as well as more than one type of soulmate. That means you can have platonic soulmates. Sometimes your soul mate is your really cool cat that you just get, that just understands you across the limits of form and language. It can be a friend you make at a convention. It can be your significant other, that is your team mate for life, and yall are there for each other through thick and thin.

  26. Damn.. Dr K nailed it on this one. I especially agree near the end. I like how you explained the beginnings of religion and how people today are simply regurgitating information rather than living the experience themself. This is very true.

  27. JC is so well spoken and intelligent. I'm so glad he found his way eventually. As a teacher, it absolutely enrages me to hear how he was treated. Teachers often seem to forget that our students are just kids, therefore, they need more compassion than we as adults are sometimes uncomfortable giving.

  28. To the Editor: A limiter or compressor on the audio would prbly help, not sure.
    1000
  29. The production quality in your videos has skyrocketed Dr. K!

  30. Having this channel as a resource for help is such a blessing, I almost don’t realize how lucky I am sometimes. Maybe this channel didn’t exist 10 years ago (when I needed it), but it does now, and I’m thankful as hell for it.
    1000
  31. Thank you for existing!
    1000
  32. It feels right for a channel like yours to be bringing personality disorders into discussion. The way you help devillainize people is amazing, never stop being you
    1000
  33. Thanks so much Dr. K. It was a great talk and super eye opening, you are the man 🙏🏼

  34. I watch a lot of your videos and streams but I don't comment. I figured I would let you know that I really enjoy your content. Best of luck.

  35. Anyone else frustrated that we all seem to be rolling balls of trauma?
    977
  36. This is EXTREMELY helpful. I'm not a "gamer" nor someone who's in touch with the whole streaming community, but I really do enjoy watching the Healthy Gamer streams every time. Through that itself, I know what I should/shouldn't do...but it's easy to forget to apply the advice Dr. K gives to the guests. This felt direct, to the point, and targeted towards the listener. Very easy to digest, and bookmarkable (I can save it and view it any time I need to just hear those words). I really do appreciate this type of content!

  37. reads title Me, a gamer: Ah yes. I want to achieve anxiety
    945
  38. Thanks for having me, really enjoyed this conversation. Great opportunity to share part of my life story in more detail, and hearing Dr. K's thoughts was very interesting. I hope this video can help some people out there whether it's about gaining confidence, understanding the problem of the current mentality/attitude within many gaming communities or even understanding the pro gamer perspective of dealing with hate.

  39. The sheer volume of exceptional info on this channel is a godsend. I am 50 and wish I had this info as a teen or in my 20s but I am still benefitting from it today. Thank you for sharing this and helping all of us get healthier!

  40. I am turning 30 soon. No major career, no degree or major certifications, no house or apartment, no girlfriend, wife or kids, BUT after 10 LONG years of struggling I finally learned to accept reality and break out of depression. Now is just to focus on making money so I can get those things.
    939
  41. 9:15 REALLY caught my attention. I've noticed time and time again that I put in work and grind and spread myself thin but ultimately succeed when it's someone else's deadline. Work, college, army, if you need me to show up at a certain time and place to do a thing, no problem. But the second it becomes internal and personal, when I set the deadline and it doesn't affect anyone else, I'll put it off forever. I always just thought i was prone to self sacrificing
    934
  42. Thank you so much. I’ve written this in diaries and such countless times - I describe it as ‘second hand emotion’, where I know what I’m meant to feel, I just… don’t. Thank you so so so much man.
    929
  43. I enjoyed life until i saw season 8 of Game of Thrones. Now i'm miserable.
    922
  44. With this kind of a title I'm expecting a billion views.
    918
  45. "we are screwed unless someone starts being nice to someone who doesn't deserve it" 25:38 been living by this for the last couple years it has saved me from much hurt. So glad someone finally said it. amazing video

  46. When I realized that video scrolling and compulsive gaming were preventing me from processing my emotions I was finally able to shift away from them and into slower activities. The one that's really been a benefit is doing a puzzle. It hits the dopamine button just enough to be a step down drug while also not occupying my mind. I can't say that I actively "think about" what's bothering me but it's able to happen naturally in the background and I've already made some important realizations. "Idleness" in the form of playing cards with actual cards, puzzles, gardening, or baking definitely helps me calm down the feels by letting them process and I get something done which lets me feel accomplished even if it's not a priority accomplishment
    881
  47. I live for when people make videos about ADHD in women ❤ makes me feel more seen
    858
  48. Never thought I'll see shadow work on this channel tbh
    857
  49. This really hit different when he explained that constantly relying on willpower is like fighting a war you'll eventually lose. The pen exercise at the end blew my mind - the idea that doing something completely "worthless" can actually help break the chains of always needing a reason or reward to act. Been struggling with motivation and this made me realize I've been looking at it backwards - instead of trying to force myself to "want" the right things, I need to learn to act regardless of what I want. 🤯
    837
  50. I'll be honest and say I've tried being compassionate and understanding... yeah, mom's issues are way out of my pay grade. I stepped away from that relationship and am way happier for it. Sometimes there are problems we can't fix cos its not ours to fix.
