Hearted Youtube comments on HealthyGamerGG (@HealthyGamerGG) channel.

  1. I'm relating to the stuff in this channel less and less every year and I think that's a good thing. Here's to everyone getting better. Thank you Doc and the entire Healthy Gamer team. Love yall everyone.

  2. Clicked in this knowing this was a condition that on principle I did feel drawn to. Then I just started crying. I've been having such a hard time and I think it really helped to hear reasons previously beyond my understanding

  3. The whole volume of thoughts with ADHD was so interesting and as someone with ADHD, really resonated. I often have something playing on my phone while I go to sleep. It helps my brain relax so to speak; to make my brain ready to sleep.

  4. I've realized that watching 6 hours of online content a day and being restless and purposeless without it means it's a bonafide addiction, and i've been slowly working on it the past few months. This video helps a lot, if only with perspective. (but honestly probably a lot more)

  5. I think time blindness is something that not only affects actual ADHD folks, but also a growing number of the general population. Free videos like this are incredibly valuable for a lot of people and may be one of the few true upsides of youtube and the internet. 💪

  6. The fact that taking walks and cleaning are two of my favorite things to do. Makes sense now lmao

  7. It's wild to watch somebody so wildly different than me (I'm a withdrawn, leftist, 30-something computer programmer) with problems I can so deeply relate to. I love this channel.

  8. At last, now THIS is the approach I was hoping to see every time a video has had attachment styles in the title

  10. These videos are super helpful as a content creator, thank you for making them!

  11. i struggle so much with limerance. growing up i daydreamed a lot and read a lot of fanfiction. i find a lot of similarities between the ways i see my crushes or partners vs how i used to see my fandom of obsession or my OTP (the pairing that i would read fanfiction about). for both there is an intense fantasy element where i daydream constantly about them, ANYTHING i see in the world reminds me of them, everything is about them, and thats where my mind goes where im hurting or scared, its like my comfort object in my mind. i also noticed that for each, 1-7 years is the amount of time i would be obsessed with it before having to move on forcfully (like a break up) or just naturally losing interest (like my fandoms). something else he mentioned that i thought was really poignant was the expectations. i did have expectations of my partners that they didnt meet that were unfair of me. but my most recent partner did this to me i think. if i wasnt 100% perfect he would fall out of love with me. i think he saw me as a fantasy when we first got together, i remember him telling me "you make me happier than ive ever been" within a couple of months of dating. i saw a clip by jordan peterson recently where he mentioned something similar. he saw me a princess. perfect. his fantasy. everything he wanted. but then when i was an actual person, with flaws and baggage, and issues that i needed to work on. the princess was destroyed. it was like i killed his princess. and he wasnt able to see me as another human. i miss him, and im sad about him. and i wish i knew all of this a year ago. sending love to everyone here <3

  12. incredible work you do, i wish i would have gotten into streaming to be able to talk to someone like you.

  13. You have to give this man props. He consistently discusses topics in a way that is educational but easy to follow. Even when the topics are mostly speculative, he does it in a way that is as unbiased as possible, and makes it relevant to us. He gave a succinct history of modern psychology and applied it to the advent of AI, and he did it all in under 10 minutes!

  14. The moment Doc said to be stupid, with that smile on my face, I kicked away my gaming chair and hugged my monitor. What a video <3
    319
  15. Was wondering when Dr. K will tackle this subject and I pressed play immediately when I saw the notification <3
    319
  16. I love when you weave your research and thought process into your lectures. Super helpful for an aspiring academic.
    313
  17. Dr. K is a psychiatrist, not just a Psychologist. the difference is pretty substantial.
    310
  18. I can't believe you're putting into words what I've struggled with for years. I really appreciate the fact that you’re doing this for free. This literally changes minds and lives tysm
    309
  19. i also think it is important to emphasize that “i deserve a break” and “i NEED a break” are two completely different statements. sure, if you’re skipping gym today because you just want to play video games, it will not benefit future you. at the same time, if you’re not feeling well or even feeling sick it is completely ok to put the gym on pause for a few days, future you will be grateful for you taking a break and not pushing your body to the limit

  20. "Self-loathing man of inaction" would be an amazing song title tbh

  21. Does meditation count as an active challenge?

  22. I'm not a gamer, but I definitely identify with this avoidance theory. I felt safe through the end of high school with this mindset because there was enough easier problems for me to solve to feel satisfied with myself. I went for the lowest hanging fruit as often as I could and felt satisfied with doing a lot although never really challenged myself. Then I attended college and was confronted with challenges that I was too afraid to tackle. I never wanted to look in-experienced so I would opt out of experiences that would challenge me academically and socially. So I've felt this stagnation throughout college; I've been afraid to grow and gain new experiences and that's difficult to come to terms with.

  23. Yup, I can absolutely relate to this. Everybody I ever knew told me I would become a "great artist" later in life, because I was smart, intelligent, and had a sense of aesthetics and psychology early on. I never had to learn, never made my homework, was always 10 minutes late to school, joked around and sang during class because I was bored. The teachers let it happen, because they liked me. In 8th/9th class I tanked miserably and ultimately lost ~10 years of my life to crippling depression, social anxiety, and self-destruction. The only way out of it is, unfortunately, to blow up all the false foundations you brought with you from your early life and build it all again yourself. You can almost never trust anyone's judgement about who you are or what you should do ever again, even if it means leaving them confused and offended, because you're so far off the beaten path that almost no one can relate.

  24. thank you dr k, i know we’re all going through it :’)
    288
  25. Dr. K I can not overstate the importance of what you're doing. There is no question that most gamers would never have the opportunity to meet with a Psychiatrist one-on-one at your level of expertise. Thank you for leading the charge to reach out to a very large and very neglected segment of society that needs you - and more mental health professionals like you.

  26. Can we have more of the collar flipped Dr K? He seems cool
    286
  27. This is literally the physiological equivalent of To those who have everything all shall be given, to those who have nothing all shall be taken.

  28. My job cycle is driven by a lack of pay raises, bonuses, and sheer f-ing appreciation, so yes, i hat my f-ing job. I worked for 5 years for a great manager and when he left, his defense left and soon after i and others left. And immediately got 20% pay raise. No reason to become "attached" to any job
    281
  29. "If you argue with a person with anxiety, they're gonna win" What a great quote, thanks for the video
    280
  30. “If you’re 23, struggling to find a job, feel alone...” My actual life, damn it
    279
  31. Ok doc, ill play Persona 4
    274
  32. Dang, Dr. K's hairstyle is fire
    272
  33. Bro, this is literally what me and my friend have been tackling lately, parents.
    270
  34. You've changed my mind about this, me personally I've never been interested in consuming deepfake porn or really porn in general as of lately. But my attitude toward this was more like the relationship between a drug dealer and the consumer. I can't blame/be shocked that the consumer is taking in this stuff, so unless these sites are gone I had a lack of empathy where I thought people should know that this would happen. But after watching this video I've learned that I should be more emotionally understanding to other people put in that position.

  35. "he promoted the book once" cuts to someone else promoting the book LMAO
    259
  36. 33:12 THE REAL GIFT RIGHT HERE! Thank you Dr.K and thank you members!!

  37. Many relationships don't work, because there aren't enough conversations about what is going on and that goes for all forms of relationships.
    258
  38. Absolutely love the new thumbnails
    256
  39. The timing of this is unreal. My girlfriend for 7 years found out she had BPD before covid and she just hit the self destruct phase but we are going to get her back on track with self help. This provides a lot of insight for me on a dialectical basis. Thanks always Dr. K.
    253
  40. It’s so weird how perfectly timed this video was for me. Just this morning I was in that negative thought loop and kept beating myself up for not doing better. I really needed this! I’m gonna start working on having a morning routine again. Thank you Dr. K!!!!
    252
  41. Dr. K just living rent free in your brain writing a script on how to solve your current problems
    252
  42. This is actually one of your best videos so far
    250
  43. I finished watching your 2-hour I'm gonna call "podcast" and came on over. Due to the importance of your work it's insane to me that this has no comments... Anyways, I have a degree in CS with a minor in math and I care deeply about your cause. If there's any way I could help I'd love to.
    248
  44. It took so long to come from Twitch to YouTube 😢 But glad it's here finally 😍🤩 Thanks for all your work Dr. K and team. I wish you guys success and prosperity in all your endeavours! ❤️

  45. I'm just gonna copy paste a comment I responded to someone with. I think a lot of people here are getting confused what the essence of HealthyGamer is, but I'm just gonna give my take on it "I think you're coming in with the wrong presumpton with a lot of these videos. These streams aren't meant to be dedicated to "helping all video gamers' and their problems", its about trying to understand other people's problems and how problems from the past can form adaptive/maladaptive behaviours that affect others years down the line. I feel like its more of an education to understand all types of people, and better appreciate what the human mind can do, both good and bad. I sense (only viewing from your comment alone), a whole lot of frustration about your problems, and I almost feel as though the streams that you've been watching, and the "help" that you're seeking by watching these videos will somehow create a 'light bulb / eureka' moment, and that's usually not gonna entirely solve your case. As stated from his streams, Knowledge surrounding your problems is step 1, self-realization is step 2, step 3 is from you, that's implementing action. Dr. K can only go so far to help viewers identify and self-actualize, but it comes down to you to do something about it. I believe he hopes that the self-actualization will give enough motivation or an understanding about themselves that they can actually grapple with so that they can go and seek relevant, necessary help (whether that may be seeking an actual therapist/psychologist, or implementing interventions via meditation+introspection; then again thats what I believe what the AoE healing ultimately aims for)"

  46. This is my post from three weeks ago - the doctors advice definitely helped me to process and move forward. The part where he talks about “people that get fired vs people that don’t” with respect to identity was super eye opening. A lot of my mentors (and also my parents) had never had the experience of being fired, and I could feel some judgement and fear when I spoke about it with them. The event turned out to be a huge blessing and even though I made mistakes I have zero regrets. Im moving forward in life having experienced something i have always feared, and realized it says nothing about my value as a worker/human.

  47. How dare my notifications hide this from me for 14 seconds.
    238
  48. I tested all this. I always had trouble getting up from bed. But the next best thing that I realize was to walk out of multiple doors in the house. Then, I was in a very different headspace, able to focus on the next next best thing, which ultimately led to productivity
    238
  49. Omg i didn't know dr. K could do domain exansion
    236
  50. Maybe it's that the jobs can't stick to me.
