This guy's videos keep being recommended to me

[testingthis101010]

I didn't pay attention to him, especially that I felt he was yet another online "false hope peddler" that pretends that (all kinds of) depression can be beat.
He excels in clickbait thumbnails using all the arsenal of sneaky marketing tactics at his disposal to manipulate his audience.

He got my attention when I saw him use this high profile story to yet gain even more visibility and audience, and as you guess he is trying to
show you the way, like there was only ONE way and that incurable mental illnesses do not exist. Why would there be incurable physical diseases
and not ones that touch our mental state?

Here is the video that sparked my interest (as I have already knew about the woman from another source news):

Your opinion?

Note that by sharing this video, you're also adding more views to it. There will be people on here that will fall for his ideas, or not. Which then increases the traffic on his channel and his already increasing "popularity."

I've come across his stuff before - he does do good video on narcissism but I have this feeling of impending doom that he's just another grifter on YouTube. I saw another comment (I would have never have noticed this - probably autism face recognition) about his profile pictures looking up more (nose pointing up) indicates a sense of superiority. I watched an FBI face analysis video which isn't the best source of information to match it but they stated a similar outcome when doing an analysis.

"Beat" depression. Lmao yeah. Like you can "win" at life. Why is it such an absolute? Manage - ok I get - peaks and troughs but BEAT? come on….

I've watched this guy a few times as the algorithm pushes his content. In short he's a pro lifer and very much against choice. People like that make me worried for the future of humanity

He has some good stuff to be fair but I don't agree with him that we can all be treated.

Certainly a big portion can be treated and do recover, but that's not true for everyone.

Some of us have highly resistant and untreatable depression, I believe that to my core as I have fought for 25 years. Met countless doctors, therapists, tried AA, NA, various support groups, medication, gyms, diets etc. None have taken.

"Beat" vs "manage" -- It's a twist in words that give false hope to people. "Beating" gives out a sense of high optimism and hope that things will become so much better after you beat it (if that ever comes), while "managing" leans more towards reality because there are a shit ton of things in life that will make things worse for you on top of what you're already dealing with. The reality that many experience for not having enough or any support system at all. Support system that can range from having someone to simply talk/vent to without judgement, to having a safe and secure place for you to recover without having to worry about starving and being homeless because you're not in a capacity to participate in society. It's highly ignorant and dismissive of what many people have to deal with.

People can get around in life by picking and choosing words and ideas that may fit what they're looking for. "New perspectives" can be an attractive thing for a lot of people as well. Gives them a bit of hope until they realize it isn't working because inside it's actually the same fucking idea, just wrapped up in different words.

Manage to me (looking at it from a highly pessimistic and nihilistic angle) is heavy coping. Management so that at least I have something to do. If I had the fund the "manage" would go down more as I would have more time at the sanctuary but it wouldn't erase the overall problem.

Manage to neurotypicals means dump as much shit as possible on you so that you are numb to the thing that is making you have pain. Like how the mange depression with throwing tons of anti depressants at you. That's not manage - that's called being a guinea pig.

His narcissism stuff is good (but it's not what his channel is about overall). The way he talks and his speech is pretty much the same as most YouTubers who are in a medical field. I don't know what it is but the algorithm and mods get so trigger happy (probably due to elections) that you have to be very careful what you say or type. Even pronouncing words wrong can give you issues to your account.

Maybe he will just give this to everyone and they are cured:


Remember just sing along and pretend it's all ok.

You have a great sense of humor

It's really weird. The undiagnosed autism, having a mixed background, talking normally (pronouncing words and not talking like an English idiot), dry and logical responses. People have said that a lot. I was talking to a client and he started laughing but I was being serious. Maybe I'm a clown to neurotypicals lol.

Well I hope you know we aren't making fun of you we agree with you and it comes out in a humorous way

Oh yeah - people here is fine. Our situations are all different but we all relate to that one thing. It's just out on the open it's very different. Even comments like why animals get close to me and don't attack. I had that a lot at the sanctuary at Spain. Some African greys would actual fly to my shoulder because I was there often (i did have food) but even when I wasn't handing out monkey nuts sometimes they would perch on me for the little walk around (it's a small aviary). Same with the lemurs - I was the fruit man - some days they loved green grapes and other days purple only - they are really lazy and funny eaters lol.

You remind me of Ace Ventura

Ironically I really liked Ace Ventura and The Mask. Probably the creativity, colours, wacky set pieces. Just complete chaos with purpose. Pretty much my brain.
