Youtube comments of (@CoalHastings).

  1. Yeah, very slow. I've never been a very fast speaker when I'm speaking unscripted. I enjoy being intentional with each word
    161
  2. To be fair, it’s hard to tell when someone’s being sarcastic through text
    92
  3. You put it very, very well.
    81
  4. Thanks for clarifying this
    63
  5. To each their own. If you rock with that, keep rocking with it.
    61
  6. that's the other end of the spectrum that needs to be addressed.
    61
  7. Romantic relationships are a different story. No significant other should be leaving you in the dark for that long, especially if you communicated how that makes you feel.
    52
  8. I think for a lot of people, that's a reflection of how they grew up feeling unloved/unwanted. And now they're trying to have this person validate them through an abnormal amount of attention
    46
  9. Ah shit, yeah. Shoulda mentioned that. It is a privilege to ignore it
    38
  10. good on you for walking away. We often stay in one sided relationships just to avoid loneliness, but its clear that woman was not fully in it.
    34
  11. that is not short at all...
    30
  12. yeah that sounds like a healthy perspective of it.
    29
  13. not a bad thing, at all
    28
  14. Great points made. The issue really does lie in how tech/social media has shifted the way we invest in social interactions - from one of depth to superficiality. Non-deep social interactions existed even prior to social media, but it is quite different in person, especially when you're easily seeing this other person weekly due to some sort of responsibility/commitment. That said, having expectations for what you want out of a friend is super important, but expecting them to constantly be in contact with you (which was the point i was really trying to make), even if you occasionally see them online, just because we now can technically always be in contact with each other, might be overdoing it. What you're saying about why people turn to social media is true, but some people just scroll and scroll to destress and take time to relax (even though it's arguably not relaxing lol), aka get away from the world for a little while. And that also means temporarily not responding to friends. But if someone is putting no effort into your friendship, and it's one sided, that's obviously a problem.
    26
  15. I ain’t reading allat
    25
  16. Totally understand. I leaned more towards that way too. Best thing you can do, in that case, is to create more opportunities where you can potentially find a partner
    24
  17. I'd have to assume the desire to be remembered is primal. I feel it deeply, too.
    23
  18. Thanks brother

  20. @ There is a massive difference between turning on a camera and talking to it alone in my room, and talking to a group of people. People assume all youtubers are extroverts because they cant distinguish between the two. As for above statement, hard to say without more context. Where i live there are plenty of opportunities to talk with people my age.
    17
  21. I appreciate it. I hope you can build the love you desire
    17
  22. Thanks for sharing this. It hit hard. I hope it felt good to write all this out
    17
  23. Ahhh that’s what he said. Thank you
    17
  24. That advice works in some contexts. But imagine someone whose "being" is social awkwardness. Would you tell them to just "be"? You could argue that the reason they are socially awkward/anxious is because they're trying too hard to be liked, but in my experience, when you've been a little socially anxious your whole life, its not going to feel like "just being" when you break out of your shell and practice social confidence. In that sense, it almost takes the opposite of "being". Its an active effort to be someone you've never felt comfortable being before.
    15
  25. im sure that person exists for you.
    14
  26. Thanks, it's nice to feel no pressure to deliver a polished script with a lot of editing. Just words
    13
  27. Very true. Hitting high ranks in competitive video games takes a ton of skill
    13
  28. @ platonic and romantic relationships are quite similar, but some areas differ. However, this post would, imo, apply to both friends and partners, but even MORE so to partners.
    12
  29. Everybody you look up to deals with feelings of low self worth from time to time. Nobody is immune to that. The internet might've made you think otherwise
    12
  30. True. As long term relationships are less enforced, people have the option to wait for that diamond in the rough. That can be a great thing (nobody should be with someone that doesn't make them truly happy) but it becomes counterproductive when you're waiting for perfection
    12
  31. True. It affects everyone. I'd like to think my vote makes a difference
    11
  32. bruh
    11
  33. Thanks brother
    10
  34. That is not a path you wanna go down

  35. 😂 awesome comment

  36. I can't really condone it. Psychedelics, for me personally, greatly changed my perspective on life. But only up to a point. I haven't done them in years now because there's not much more I think I can get from them. You can have the same sort of discoveries without any psychedelic use. And some people have very adverse effects to it.

  37. When brain rot consumes you

  38. Understandable response. But don’t lose hope in people’s humanity. It’s still there, just under the superficiality. That being said, there are just genuinely fake bad people to stay away from too.
    9
  39. You deserve it all, man. Enjoy it
    9
  40. Thank you king
    9
  41. That would be sick. I can see that happening one day
    9
  42. find a genre you're interested in. Start with a few pages a day, then work your way up. Personally, I love fantasy/sci fi. Fiction (to me) is more interesting than non fiction. It's supposed to be boring, especially if you're attuned to overstimulating devices. Eventually, you'll find something you'll really enjoy. But it starts with a great story.
    9
  43. Yes
    8
  44. It's only just begun.
    8
  45. Yeah, intentionally choosing to your values then creating an identity around them is what we could refer to as “being yourself”
    8
  46. That's awesome
    8
  47. It's likely highly contextual. Depends on the type of game you're playing, your purpose for playing it, how stimulating it is, etc. But I wouldn't worry if you play a couple hours a day + have other intellectually stimulating hobbies
    7
  48. Thank you. Coal, Cole, Robert...it's all the same.
    7
  49. Moving away from someone and forgiving them are two different things
    7
  50. Hi
    7
  51. You as well
    7
  52. God was once a way of trying to explain the unexplanable. I think the idea of God is still somewhat that, though now we have scientists who believe science itself can prove the existence of God. When you really dive deep into the sciences, you could argue that it's really hard to not think there's some sort of "creator".
    7
  53. You also made a huge assumption saying i don't care about the life shattering conditions for minorities, and that i have an indiffernce towards human suffering. Where did you pull that statement from, exactly? Have you ever considered the fact that you don't need to be extremely deep into politics to make a difference for these underprivileged groups? Why do you think I make the videos I do on the main channel?
    7
  54. The problem arises when you try to define who you are. Im not telling people to lie and be fake, but rather, stop trying to find who you are (an impossible task) and intentionally create who you want to become by building off of what you naturally feel drawn toward.
    7
  55. Wow, thank you! I’m glad the video helped
    7
  56. It's pretty cool to see people who have been with me for that long. Thanks for all the love
    6
  57. Glad you enjoy them! Much easier for me to make.
    6
  58. Crazy work
    6
  59. Definitely beneficial, but i cant see them having the same amount of benefits as the act of reading itself
    6
  60. sure https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36498362/ https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11469-019-00182-2 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35164464/

  61. I am naturally introverted.
    6
  62. Btw, the concept of a “low value man” doesn’t exist. It’s an internet phrase.
    6
  63. At least you've become aware of it. That's farther than many
    6
  64. Much love!
    6
  65. They're unavoidable lol
    6
  66. much of the insights are for both men and women!
    6
  67. I’m sorry your reality has led you to come to that conclusion. If you’re still young (15-24) I can tell you that generally speaking, people don’t take you as seriously because they see you as just a kid. Respect and kindness (sadly) comes more with age, especially if you take good care of yourself. Regardless, try to be kind as much as you can
    6
  68. Slowing down the past couple years is the biggest reason I am the most fulfilled and healthy I've ever been
    5
  69. Always time to create a new identity, that involves reconnecting back to who you’ve always been. Gonna take a lot of work and healing, but it’s possible. I believe in you brother
    5
  70. That sounds like multiple videos I’ve made on my main channel. I suggest searching “Cole Hastings loneliness” and watching the first few that come up
    5
  71. Beautifully said
    5
  72. Thanks for the kind words. I hope you have been growing alongside me.
    5
  73. Great observation/thought experiment.
    5
  74. I don’t know how to pronounce anything
    5
  75. I respect your firm belief
    5
  76. That is way too much locking in.
    5
  77. Life has been incredible since I moved in with my fiancee
    5
  78. Personally, I wouldn’t find it appropriate for her to be talking to her ex again, especially after he cheated on her. For what reason would she need to be in contact again with him after that? It signals she might not be 100% over him. Which is fine, but if she’s to truly move on, and build a relationship with you, it’s not right to be talking with him right now. I would communicate that you don’t feel comfortable with her talking to him so quickly after everything they’ve gone through. If she’s gets defensive or isn’t understanding, I’m not sure if it’s worth continuing to try and build a connection
    5
  79. Thanks man, growing it out for a bit. The fiancee suggested it lol
    5
  80. I've faced something similar when I moved here to Austin, except I knew nobody. Use this fear as fuel for excitement. You get a chance to reshape your identity and can let go of whatever identity people held you to at home. I ended up throwing myself into random social situations and now I've created a couple really solid friend groups. I also found my wife here. You've got a great opportunity.
    5
  81. It’s just like doing pull ups. Put in the reps
    5
  82. Not a bad idea
    5
  83. Hard? Yes. But limits can be set, and changes can be made no matter what you do.
    5
  84. well put

  85. Tons of assumptions you’ve made on an unscripted video on my second channel where I’m talking about a topic that I’m not even telling people to think the way I do in. If anything, they should be more informed than me. I don’t use the term NPCs video to describe people. I used it in one video for a title and nothing more. You assume I don’t care about improving society and fighting to make a change because you’ve never seen my main channel, so I can understand your viewpoint.
    4
  86. Its premiere pro's subtitle generation. Sometimes it gets some words wrong and I can't be bothered to check through the whole video and change them lol
    4
  87. Actually have gotten checked for that! The one test I took said “very minor sleep apnea” which wasn’t enough to change much. Been also sleeping way better these days
    4
  88. Just this morning as I was on a walk, I had an old man ask me about my shirt, and we chatted for longer than I usually would. Once you start opening yourself up to being receptive to conversations, you’ll find people are more willing to talk to you. Glad it helped!
    4
  89. Or… it’s just beginning
    4
  90. A recluse, anxious 20 year old boy in college goes through a tragic loss. The loss makes such a big imprint on his mind, that his reality "splits" in two, and he gains the ability to see into a parallel reality. Much of the book will revolve around him trying to find what he lost in the parallel reality, while honing this new skill. It's a blend of fantasy and realism set in the present day.
    4
  91. Thank you, it’s fun to go off the rip and see where my thoughts go
    4
  92. Then you don't have to
    4
  93. I bet that’s taken a ton of weight off your shoulders. I’m glad man
    4
  94. Sup
    4
  95. It’s a pretty specific issue that I don’t have a lot of knowledge in. Professionals like Dr K. are much better suited to give advice on it
    4
  96. I'd love some resources to point me in the right direction. I would like to be more educated on the topic, though I find it difficult to trust either side. No need for the insults. Calling me sociopathic as if I am completely ignorant to what's going on based on who gets voted is plain wrong. I do the best I can to make the world a better place through my videos. I have a general idea of what each side stands for. I'm certainly not perfect, but a better approach would be to educate me instead of attacking me based on the assumption of one video.

  97. Haha my dad is addicted to Facebook reels. Sends me them all the time

  103. Who?

  104. Cheers man, I really don't fear judgement based on insecurities anymore because ive shared them so much haha
    4
  105. Ah, understandable. It’s not as easy these days
    4
  106. Unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge/education where I would feel comfortable talking about it
    3
  107. Absolutely right
    3
  108. there's probably research that already exists. Im willing to bet there's benefits, but not as many as visual reading. That's just my intuition speaking, though.

  109. Thank you for watching

  110. Real

  111. First question: yeah, actually what i forgot to say is in the very last set of the push set, instead of supersetting wiht weighted dips i do dumbbell shoulder press, just for one set to get some shoulder reps in. Then, for the last set of the pull set, instead of dumbbell rows, I do TRX band face pulls which hits my rear delts. Personally, my shoulders have always been a genetic strong point so i havent had to do much direct work for them, but depending on what you're trying to hit more, you can change the supersets to look a bit different. As for core: something else i forgot to mention is that usually at the end of that huge legs superset, I'll do hanging leg raises and some twisting crunches using the cable machine and a rope. But only for a set. I find my abs get hit enough with everything else i do.

    3
  117. Hi
    3
  118. Good stuff! 9000 words a day is insane. Most can’t do that. Set up the standard, try to meet it, and don’t get too attached to whatever results come
    3
  119. You explained it perfectly. Just feels like im talking to you guys with no filter. It's a lot of fun
    3
  120. My fiancée does and that’s what matters
    3
  121. This videos topic is heavily related to that. You repeat the same mistakes because you can’t recognize the pattern of your identity that makes mistakes. Once you separate yourself from it, recognize the pattern, and repeat different behaviors, you will no longer make the same mistakes.
    3
  122. I think i might get what you're saying. It's basically the people who try to appear like they're doing something with their lives, when in reality, they're doing a bunch of unneccesary stuff/movements?
    3
  123. Thanks for the feedback. I hope I wasn't giving off entitlement. Ignorance, yes, I can agree. The reason I felt the need to make this video is to make it apparent just how many people do think this way, and why that needs to change. I was not trying to endorse this way of thinking. I have no disdain and judgment for people who care about politics. If anything, it's the opposite. Sorry if it came off otherwise
    3
  124. Appreciate that, glad it resonated. Most important thing is to embody the life of a person that gets the grades you want, instead of needing to reach the goal
    3
  125. Glad it helped
    3
  126. I've never been happier or more optimstic. Maybe the title/thumbnail combos paint a different picture, but the intention is always to spread a positive message.

  127. Thank you Molly. Really excited for it to be done. Now, back to writing.

  128. Did you mean something else? People aren’t “addicted” to dopamine. They become addicted to dopamine inducing activities
    3
  129. I don't really like to throw the word "trauma" around lightly, but that sounds like a trauma response in the sense that your perspective is distorting objective reality. Sounds like you had a stretch of being in contact with some pretty shitty humans, that is true. But being untrustworthy of everyone due to a minority will leave you unneccesarily isolated. It's good to be cautious of others to an extent. But I'd really take the time to work through those triggers and heal from those who did you wrong.
    3
  130. Happens to me too. Embracing silence for a moment can be powerful if you don’t panic

  152. This is at the core of the majority of my self improvement videos on the main channel. If you watch the playlist you’ll find a ton of tips. But to leave you with a simple answer in this comment: Life has conditioned you to react a certain way to things based on your upbringing. How you feel about yourself and your life is a product of everything you’ve gone through in the past. In order to require negative thoughts, you must start questioning them and making small changes in your routine to prove to yourself that you are no longer the identity of the person who is depressed. That, and doing more things that have purpose behind them, eating well, sleeping well, and having a community are also massively important. Suffering is inevitable, but you can become a person capable of conquering any difficult times.

  182. Good insight

  183. Thats sick

  184. My best advice to you is to do more things. Lift. run. Join a club. Write. Draw. Go hiking. Eventually, you'll find something you like. Then, you can focus on one thing, and becoming better at that one thing. If you already have that thing, disregard the first piece of advice. What is your end goal? Who is the person you are trying to be? What does that person do? Do that, and don't overcomplicate it.

  200.  @Brian_Corder  I think the key is having a strong reason to, plus finding a way to make it fun. Going to Japan really motivated me to show up every day, then I also tried watching shows/listening to stuff that actually interested me as much as possible.
    2
  201. That’s so fucking awesome man. Keep at it and acknowledge the work you’ve put in
    2
  202. Glad to have you here
    2
  203. I think the end goal of all self improvement should be to have a cup that is so full, that you can now start pouring that cup into other people's. It becomes very meaningless if the only reason you are improving for is yourself, forever.
    2
  204. Something else I'd like to know is what i need to examine in order to change the obviously flawed way of the government running things. Other than voting, what can I do to actually make people's lives more enjoyable in this country? Genuine question. Making the type of YouTube videos I do on my main channel seems like one of the simplest/most effective ways to do this, and instill positive change in people who feel like they're powerless against the government.

  209. That’s pretty awesome. Often the best type of friends are the ones who healthily challenge your beliefs
    2
  210. Appreciate it 🙏
    2
  211. I appreciate you a lot brother, much love to you. Thanks for always commenting
    2
  212. Happy to hear your opinions on the subject. We’re probably closer in our thinking than you realize
    2
  213. shoot me a dm on instagram: @colehastings_
    2
  214. Could be both. Will probably always be a part of you in some way.
    2
  215. Don’t have time for everyday unfortunately, but will continue making these a weekly thing
    2
  216. figured it would be more helpful than distracting/feeding into shorter attention

  218. I think so too, brother
    2
  219. I like that interpretation. Use the message 👍
    2
  220. Yeah I understand that. Running a business, I have to make myself familiar with how the legal system works
    2
  221. I started working out when I was in college, like 9 years ago. I started working out exactly like this around a year and a half ago
    2
  222. Im really bad at pronouncing things
    2
  223. That's a very healthy way to look at things, man.
    2
  224. sound like the vid gave you a bit more relief and certainty, which is awesome to hear
    2
  225. Would be awesome. I haven’t talked to Chris in a while
    2
  226. This guy is literally Ryan Gosling
    2
  227. You can try something called "Copy Work". It's typically used as a tool for authors to become better writers, but I can see it being useful if applied in this way: If there's a piece of writing you really admire, and sounds nice when spoken aloud, write it in a journal, word for word, with pen and paper. Then, practice saying it out loud. Eventually (hypothetically) you should find yourself using these words more often. On top of that, just making use of writing your own pieces, and saying them aloud helps too. It's going to take a lot of practice, though.
    2
  228. Glad it helped brother!
    2
  229. If that's true, that's crazy. I'm glad I pieced together the right words for you
    2
  230. It is called "Self Improvement is Useless: Do It anyway"
    2
  231. Ahh ahh ahh lifestyle
    2
  232. If you haven't watched the rest of my videos, I can understand you assuming that. I plug it at the end of all my vids, regardless of topic. I really want to get the word out to as many people as I can. I'm proud of what Im writing.
    2
  233. thank you!
    2
  234.  @researchchannel1968  Thanks! It's gonna be a while, hopefully fully done by the end of the year, so hopefully you're still around haha

  235. its my second channel

  238. 😂 glad someone caught that
    2
  239. Indulgence requires a certain level of freedom. And yes, the only way to gain agency is to first enhance your freedom. Then, most will realize they want to use their agency to restrict it. Kind of a confusing line of thinking
    2
  240. I improved it by talking to a camera every week for almost a decade (my main channel). I could improve my wit and cleverness/word choice
    2
  241. I agree with what you said. I don’t think the points I made in the video were communicated clearly enough for you to understand. My fault
    2
  242. Thank you
    2
  243. which one
    2
  244. Love you too bro, thanks for always being here
    2
  245. It’s really good!
    2
  246. Kindle app only allows highlighting on my device, not annotating, so it actually makes more sense for me to buy the physical book
    2
  247. I will be finishing the book and I will be narrating the audiobook soon after 🫡
    2
  248. Congratulations!
    2
  249. J Cole isn’t bad, but not really someone I listen to

    2
  255. Beautiful stuff, get after it
    2
  256. Thank you
    2
  257. 🫡 get after it

  259. The version of yourself that comes out of this will be built like steel. Keep going
    2
  260. very sorry to hear that, man. Will send a prayer for your mom
    2
  261. That’s a good point. Intensity seems to come much easier now with heavier weights/better form
    2
  262. I appreciate you a lot. You guys have done more for me than you know
    2
  263. 28
    2
  264. Depends how you feel. I believe with this routine i have 2 rest days a week which is pretty optimal. What matters if you're trying to build muscle is doing 10-20 sets per week per muscle group. At least one rest day a week is absolutely necessary, imo.
    2
  265. Podcast channel doesn’t count 🤫
    2
  266. Didn’t I say that, though?
    2
  267. That is…exactly what it is supposed to be
    2
  268. Thanks for the love! I am not vegan anymore
    2
  269.  @MarkMagdy-ic7bj  good to have you here
    2
  270. In what way?
    2
  271. No prob
    2
  272. Thanks, felt dialed into this one
    2
  273. Opposite? That's what i described in this video.
    2
  274. humans are not as different as you might think
    2
  275. And thank you for watching them for years. That means a lot.
    2
  276. Hm, will try to take a look tomorrow
    2
  277. I only open my mouth in person to scream
    2
  278. 😂 been over. Thanks man

  281. Nice, how was the book?
    2
  282. Thanks dude!
    2
  283. Great nuance to add. Thank you
    2
  284. exactly right
    2
  285. Thanks, it’s called Poppins
    2
  286. Thanks for watching the vids, Jake
    2
  287. Yeah, personally for me, the more I study the sciences, the more I believe that there’s an intelligent “creator” of things. It’s also quite hard to convince yourself god exists if you’ve never felt anything like god
    2
  288. huh?
    2
  289. Which is completely fine. Remember, the question is, “do you want to become the person your partner will shape you to be?” If you don’t, you are incompatible
    2
  290. I disagree. Helping others is an integral part of self improvement. Everything outside of you is just as much you as everything inside of you
    2
  291. To each their own. Hamza's approach works for him, it is him, and it helps a lot of young guys. I've chosen a different approach that's more genuine to who i am.
    2
  292. Not necessarily. One can know their meaning while still doing new things.
    2
  293. Thanks for the rec!
    2
  294. Yep, i made sure to go over this in the vid
    2
  295. Thank you!
    2
  296. Easy to pop in the measurements into an app like Cronometer to find the macro breakdown
    2
  297. Dan Koe is crushing
    2
  298. Yeah, that’s understandable. Thanks for adding your pov. I’m really just rattling things as they come to me in these videos without deeper thought, so comments like these are helpful. I do agree friendships need maintenance at least to some extent to be held
    2
  299. Yep, correct
    2
  300. Hahaha exactly what I was thinking. Now I finally have the creds to. Thank you

  304. For your first question: Absolutely. Environment is more of a push/pull rather than a determiner as to whether you reach your full potential. It helps a ton, but isnt necessary. Second question: It should be pretty obvious. If you feel less motivated, more addicted to negative things, more stressed, etc. in a certain environment than your baseline level of contentedness, thats a good sign its holding you back.
    2
  305. Means a ton. I’m glad I could help you
    2
  306. Thank you
    2
  307. Thanks Wilfred!
    2
  308. ill take that as a compliment

  309. When I said I was going to run a marathon, I trained for 5 months and ran it. Now that I’ve announced this, there’s no going back.
    2
  310. @ I really appreciate the support
    2
  311. Awareness is the first step, so you’re on your way
    2
  312. Yeah most of the time you have to be the one to initiate it
    2
  313. I will haunt you
    2
  314. God bless bro

  320. I don’t do many heavy compound leg lifts, no. My legs are still large, and all it’s done is led to less knee pain and mobility problems
    2
  321. We making it out the suburbs with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥
    2
  322. Sounds very aligned with what humans are meant to do
    2
  323. Thank you so much!
    2
  324. One step at a time man. Start to build a little momentum and acknowledge it. The next smallest step is just getting out of bed. Then taking a shower. Then sitting down at the computer and opening up a tab. Focus on the micro to get to the macro
    2
  325. Yes, it will be on Amazon which should allow me to ship it almost anywhere
    2
  326. We’re all gonna make it
    2
  327. That’s another one people find value in. Definitely helps shift the perspective. Similar to gratitude in that way. I’ve been praying every day before bed and I feel it’s helped a ton
    2
  328. Thanks man!
    2
  329. Work in progress. Glad it helped
    2
  330. Ebbs and flows of life are natural. Some seasons you’ll be doing more than others. Embrace them all, you’ll get to where you want to be

  332. Thanks for always supporting
    2
  333. thanks brother
    2
  334. 😂
    2
  335. Good to see you here Ben
    2
  336. Thanks for watching
    2
  337. Thats another great example of what i talked about at the start
    2
  338. Thanks for watching. I think your comment actually brings up a great point I didn’t really address: integrity. Which characters feel the most true to you usually align with the ones you most enjoyable playing
    2
  339. Well put
    1
  340. Real
    1
  341. Appreciate the transparency! Thanks for being here

  342. Where’s that?
    1
  343. Love you too bro
    1
  344. Thank you for watching

  345. It could help, for sure
    1
  346. Crazy cause I've been paying closer attention to birds lately too. Kind of wild how they communicate and how so many are right above our heads in our neighborhoods all the time. Appreciate you being interested in the novel!

  347. I’ve got two more for you: it’s joever

  348. Yessir, been way more secure the past few months. Relaionship has been incredible

  349.  @MayaHendersonKina18357  old channel? Which one
    1
  350.  @MayaHendersonKina18357  I still upload on it all the time
    1
  351. Thank you
    1
  352. Exactly. Such a huge shift in mentality when you realize that
    1
  353. 😂
    1
  354. no problem!
    1
  355. Dont remember what i said (i was yapping) but whatever I said, I probably meant what you commented. The timestamp you gave doesn't seem to be the place i was talking about that. Thanks for the clarification
    1
  356. You're miles ahead of many. Keep going
    1
  357. Absolutely Mo, people are very receptive to your energy. Since I started doing this more I’ve already encountered more spontaneous conversations naturally
    1
  358. Big progress W
    1
  359. My fault if I connected those two things, brighter shores is more so just mindless relaxing
    1
  360. preciate it!
    1
  361. Let me know how it goes!
    1
  362. 50 billion comments
    1
  363. Yeah, I agree. I think I should’ve emphasized what I said at the start of the video a bit more: “or maybe it’s always happened. I don’t know why people don’t consider that possibility”
    1
  364. You will never know with certainty what path in life is the “right” one. So long as it aligns with the values and character you want to develop, go after it. Own your decision and commit to it. Thinking any longer will only paralyze you

  369. Yea but it’s BPA and phthalate free. Much better than drinking tap water, but not perfect. I did find a glass water pitcher on Amazon by the brand “GLACIER”. Should be able to find if you look it up
    1
  370. I agree. Life is a constant process of becoming.
    1
  371. real one
    1
  372. Who is that
    1
  373. True
    1
  374. Cheers brother
    1
  375. Would need to go back to school for that but maybe if I stopped wanting to do YouTube
    1
  376. Glad it makes the difference
    1
  377. Thank you
    1
  378. Hi
    1
  379. I don’t doubt a lot of self improvement YouTubers only make courses for a quick cash grab, but others want to: - genuinely connect with their viewers on a deeper level by creating a community with calls/stuff like that - have income separate from YouTube Which is completely understandable. We need to make money somehow to be able to consistently put out content—YouTuve views and sponsorships are very unpredictable. So why not offer something useful and valuable that also allows you to talk to your subscribers face to face? Seems like a win win. Though I am aware of how many bad courses exist for the reason you mentioned.
    1
  380. I respect your firm belief
    1
  381. Off that galaxy gas?
    1
  382. Genetic strongpoint. I will say though what i forgot to leave out is that for my last push set, instead of supersetting with weighted dips, i do just one set of shoulder presses. maybe that one set does it alll haha

  383. Teaching philosophy is a great way to provide content
    1
  384. Thank you 🙏
    1
  385. Glad to have helped man
    1
  386. Haha dude of course it wasn’t malicious, that wasn’t the point I was trying to make
    1
  387. Thank you
    1
  388. Yep, very hard to not improve
    1
  389.  @godhimself1128  well said
    1
  390. Appreciate you watching
    1
  391. Mostly just through googling about the topic, picking reliable sources/studies, then watching similar videos on it that already have studies linked in the description
    1
  392. That’s dope
    1
  393. So weird when people think the entire purpose of a video is the plug at the end 😂
    1
  394. Same place it’s always been
    1
  395. it is Cole. This is my second channel under an "alias"
    1
  396. My guy <3
    1
  397. thats a great exercise. Thanks for listening to the end, Im excited to share more news about the novel soon
    1
  398. Thats why educating yourself is imperative
    1
  399. shoutout my italian family
    1
  400. Cheers dude
    1
  401. Thats crazy you remember that. I would say use this time to really experiment and try as much as you can, decide which of those things is worth eating shit for, and commit to it
    1
  402. Haha no way, you should’ve said hi
    1
  403. Thanks for watching these vids!
    1
  404. Something more optimistic
    1
  405. Cole Hastings
    1
  406. Having something to looking forward to is huge. People like to criticize that approach as it sounds like you’re only living in the future and not the present, but I’ve found humans function the best when they have things planned in the future they can visualize that gets them hyped up
    1
  407. Plenty of different places. Lots of clubs for different categories probably exist near you. Reading club, hiking, bouldering, cooking, etc. Meetup.com is a good first place to look
    1
  408. Honestly, I’m the same way. That’s why I like to just listen haha and maybe add a little input, then ask another question that gets them to talk a bunch
    1
  409. Well said, great insights, especially at 16
    1
  410. Thanks
    1
  411. Just a second channel I only plug on my main channel’s community tab. I don’t mention it in my videos but I’m not actively trying to keep it a secret
    1
  412. Thank you for watching the vids!
    1
  413. Appreciate that a lot bro. It’s really dope seeing how many people like it

  423. Thanks for watching
    1
  424. Beautiful stuff man
    1
  425. Love you too, brah
    1
  426. I believe I have a bit of knowledge on it as I listened to every single Alan Watts lecture on the internet during my sophomore year of college, and he speaks about nothing being separate often. Do you have any other resources?
    1
  427. It’s all good, honestly this all sounds more dramatic than it is. I was exhausted and had a shitty week, which resurfaced old feelings. Glad I went through it for the reminder, and to focus on something I’ve wanted to improve for a while
    1
  428. so far this video is getting more attention than any previous video on this channel so we'll have to see
    1
  429. You will nail it
    1
  430. YouTube sometimes automatically deletes comments that they deem inappropriate
    1
  431. Makes me very happy to hear. Glad I could help bro
    1
  432. Writing it almost daily. Looking foward to putting it out when it's done. Updates will be happening on my newsletter
    1
  433. No
    1
  434. That is the way
    1
  435. What do you make of the studies I cited, then?
    1
  436. Yeah, something like that. You have to go slow to go fast
    1
  437. There’s something out there for you to commit to, just gotta create that direction
    1
  438. Beautiful, always love to hear stuff like that. Thanks for the support
    1
  439. Okay
    1
  440. Awesome to hear. Thanks for watching them, hope you have a good day
    1
  441.  @Manuplayz339  I think this is a matter of us having two different definitions we're using to construct our arguments. If I go under the assumption that adopting responsibility isnt actually restricting your freedom, just artificially restricting it, then yes, i agree with what you just said.
    1
  442. Real one
    1
  443. Lets grind
    1
  444. Makes me really happy to hear that. It’s nice to sit down in front of a camera with it a script, and see where my thoughts go.
    1
  445. this is my second channel.
    1
  446. Keep going bro
    1
  447. i think you misinterpreted my statements. Of course you have to hang out/talk to friends in order for them to be friends. But doing so takes more effort in a fast paced/busy world, and we expect those friends to be able to talk every single day, which might not be possible. We were just around people/in close proximity more frequently in the past without needing to constantly communicate, so its tough to navigate that change. The other big point was how many people see friends as simply a "networking opportunity" now because productivity/money is more highly revered in today's society. If we instead, went back to getting in close proximity, meeting with someone consistently through recreational clubs/etc and still considering them friends, that would be a step in the right direction. Does that make sense?

  448. Hey, do you remember what website it was on?

  463. Meetup groups can be really helpful. Go to meetup.com and search for stuff in your area that you're interested in. I'd also check out my video "trying to make friends in a brand new city" on my main channel. Shows how you can just go up to a group, introduce yourself, and make friends.
    1
  464. Name is different too
    1
  465. Thank you for listening

  466. Good point

  468. Just started playing elden ring. No idea what im doing after the tutorial. No directions or guide, but the world is beautiful. Tried taking on a knight in gold thats right out of the gate and it keeps decimating me.

  469. Glad it helped
    1
  470. Sorry to hear about the breakup, but very happy to hear how much better you’re dealing with it. Real growth there

  488. @anderstermansen130 Societal expectations exist for a reason, but holding on too tightly to them isnt beneficial. Everybody's path and achievements occur at different points in their lives. There is no set time you absolutely must have to have these thigns figured out. Just keep doing good things for yourself, and life will work itself out for you, which may not even end up being the traditional path.

  490. By nature of these being unscripted, I often just say whats on the top of my head. Rivals is just more stimulating, but I dont think we can really compare levels of brainrot between the two. That was my mistake.

  512. Thanks brodie

  513.  @arcangleton  thanks for the love. And yeah, part of the reason i engage with comments is because after we further explain ourselves, its almost always the case that we think much more similarly than we thought.

  514. 😂 nobody told me or paid me to promote that
    1
  515. 😂 I hope not, I mentioned that in the vid

  518. I’m not sure what you mean. My wife watched the video and enjoyed it

  519. Not in the slightest. When i was 19 i was smoking weed almost every day and drinking every weekend. You are most likely just focusing on the small percentage of people who seem to have their lives figured out at 19. And i say "seem" because nobody really has their lives figured out, especially at that age. Get to work but enjoy the process and don't worry too much about external achievements. Just focus on building a life you find fulfilling and enjoyable

  520. yes

  521. Thats sick, keep posting

  525. You could frame it like that

  526. Haha dude, when I mentioned creators who have blown up in the past year or two, your channel came to mind. Good to see you here

  527. Unfortunately the manosphere gave the word “self improvement” a negative connotation

  528. That keyboard is a neo65 with mode obscuras and tx stabs. My daily driver is a qk65v2 classic with lubed boba u4ts, durock v3 stabs, and pbtfans lyla keycaps. so good.
    1
  529. That's awesome
    1
  530. That's why it's nice to just turn on the camera and process my thoughts through words. Helps me, sometimes helps some of you

  531. King killer chronicle series is great, but unfinished. Brandon Sanderson has some great finished fantasy series too
    1
  532. 💯 great point. Obviously nuance to that (like if someone is being lazy all the time) but for those with a self improvement obsession they love to beat themselves up when they’re not optimizing every single day

  533. Glad i could help
    1
  534. Yeah Brian Cox! He’s got some fascinating talks. And I didnt know that, very cool

  537. Really appreciate the comment. I'm most likely going to be writing my next book soon and guess what... it will be fiction.

  538. Not entirely sure. Maybe the “surviving the loneliness epidemic” video?

  539. its my second channel lol
    1
  540. You’re comparing two things with very, very different likelihoods.
    1
  541.  @drstewart  I think you’re taking the title a bit too literally. Which is ok.
    1

  557. Thanks brother

  558. Yeah, I feel that. When you’re interacting with people all day at a job, going out and socializing more feels like a whole other job in itself
