HOW TO BE HAPPY (a practical and scientific guide to living well)

You sound like a high school kid. And you mummble, hard to understand.

For me it's impossible to be happy, because i can be at comfort only if i don't need to do anything to exist, and i don't want to die, also i have too broken mental health and very weak psyche, which is causing me an unbearable pain every second i'm not escaping from this life into internet and games, reality driving me insane, i don't have any passions, i don't enjoy doing anything aside from playing video-games, i don't want to do anything, doing something bring me discomfort and pain, i just want to be alive and not die, AND THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, I WILL DIE, MY SELF-AWARENESS WOULD BE LOST FOR EVER WITHOUT ANY AFTERLIFE, HEAVEN OR REBIRTH IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE, I DON'T WANT TO NOT EXIST FOR ETERNITY

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 3 months ago about self development. Now I have 262 subs and almost > 97 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

It's not "divided self" but "dialectical self".

i love your relaxing content really much

high five

I love every single one of your videos man. Especially this one, I really needed to hear a lot of what you said and it came at the perfect time! Thank you v v much 🙂

You know what is funny?
I discovered that what makes me happy is to stop thinking about myself. I think that being self aware is troubling at times, too many thoughts run in your head about anything you do. So i started to stop thinking about those thoughts, let them come and go (thanks to meditation and lockdowns). I realized that life is like a Jazz jam session, you gotta improvise at times!

Omg imagine thinking that antidepressants were the easy way to be happy hahaha

Well i wish my SSRI experience was no pain.

Well I feel like the lack of happiness is a major contributor to me not being able to actually pursue what I want to do. I always start doing something and stick with it for like two weeks but then it just fades away like any of the other things I’ve tried in my life. I could imagine that I can’t stick to anything because it doesn’t make me feel any happier than doing nothing would. And I always come back to my bed and YouTube.

damn I wish I had a friend like you.

"The more and better off relationships you have, the happier you will be." Well, no relationships is better than bad ones

The only time I was ever truly happy was when I was under the delusion of falling in love in my teens.

This is literally the teachings of Epicurus; that the three conditions which effect happiness are freedom, relationships, and the fulfilment of basic necessities for survival
