Have a Good day
Hm, I wonder how far down my mind can go with numbers 4, 6 and partially number 2. When will be the moment when insanity is a thing?
Oh great, every single one of them…
5 out of 6… Not a big social network guy since I am ugly, have no friend or got anything to show off… then again I spend all my time lurking on youtube so is it considered social media?
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive
Haha, you put all the chaper's in the wrong spots, like you put 'Perfectionism' in 'Intro' and 'Lack of Exercise' in 'Perfectionism' but that's something to laugh off, haha. Anyway, and yeah, don't go on Social Media due to jealousy reasons, and just see positive stuff on social media, like some happy tiktoks or something, and one strategy to avoid regretting something is to avoid doing it in the first place, haha.
I have 5 habits that could cause a mental breakdown but not perfectionism I guess
Exactly ur RCT ma'am lackof sleep it make depress and insomnia s. 👍
I feel like EVERYONE is sleep deprived ( including me ) it's just normal nowdays 🙁
I hate being a perfectionist!
5) not sleeping enough
Me watchin it at 2am💀👍
If I recall there has been research regarding laughter that indicated that it doesn't have to be genuine. Regaurdless of the cause simply punching out a "ha ha ha" can positively effect the body. But again this is me trying to recall something I hear years ago I might be totally off base or it has since been proven wrong.
Im stuck in the past😢
I am eleven years old and I sleep 4 hours maximum because of studying
Disagree with some points
All of these check out for me. I'm fucked.
Maybe this is why my life sucks ass.
6/6
"ahh ..so that's why I suspect I have bipolar.. huh"
"sooo.. are you gonna do anything to. fix it?"
"nope:)"
"probaly should tho-"
I mean.. yea… but i'm too lazyyyyy"
Is perfectionism really a bad thing?
Sure it's stressful, trying to be flawless in everything and the voices berate me every time I can't do it.
But when I do it, it's like the best feeling ever.
is it bad when it's all of them?
Pretty sure i have 6/6 of these things- is that bad?
Did I relate to any of the points? Yes, all of them. Thanks for the video!
5/6 4 me
How about everyone of them. No wonder I'm so damned unhappy.
I have doing all of the six things
My fav is 2:21:23
Best solution and the only solution for me was, offering salah
I deleted social media; facebook, instagram and twitter. Never had TikTok or snap chat 💬 ever. Cutting contact with unproductive friendships
Thanks I used to read a few books every year. After covid19 I hardly read, social media 👀🙃😏🤪
U speaking to my borderline personality disorder. Please anyone reading plz plz plz study about it.u have no control over your emotions n reactions n it breaks u apart
Thank you
I think we all have mental issues more or less, depending on your circumstances, what your life is like etc…. we are all living in this same shitty world! so we can't be feeling great all the time!
Nowonder im crazy
