Other Motivational videos on YouTube are rubbish.

I don't know if this genre is universal, but whenever I get recommended life motivational videos on YouTube, they turned out to be useless ones that distort my view on life.

They are always pessimistic about life, they give advice and tips to be nothing but pro-introvert and anti-extrovert, or even anti-ambivert. When I dig further, it also turns out to be a pathetic manosphere that follows the typical NPCs. They badly generalise certain people, e.g. 99% of white western young people in gen z are all bullies, entitled, spoiled, etc more than previous generations or other societies when in reality, young people have been like this always everywhere; the way it is said sounds as if everyone back my school would all be in ice, detentions, report cards etc and detention rooms will be densely packed.

As a result, it gave me social anxiety instead of being happier.

Self-help books and most of philosophies are the same thing. They all only say obviousness and random things that occur to them in the moment. Do you want serious advice for your life? Just live and make your own conclusions. Don’t hear those people that get too excited talking about their ways of viewing or living life.

This is widely popular opinion outside the sigma male echo chamber if you didn't already know.

I think you’re seeing the wrong motivational videos from what you’re describing.

Lmao now I’m trying to imagine what a “life motivational video” would even be… I’m picturing a photo of sunflowers in a field and some voiceover guy droning on “number seven - NEVER give up on yourself” but it’s 45 minutes long and completely AI-generated

Using an instinctive action called Heliotropism. Also known as ‘Solar Tracking’, the sunflower head moves in synchronicity with the sun’s movement across the sky each day. From East to West, returning each evening to start the process again the next day. Find out more about how this works, and what happens at the end of this phase.

Good bot. Written just like a YT self help video.

Dude, I absolutely agree with you. Those vids are shit, however, the vids I watched (as an introvert myself) gave advice on how to be an extrovert, which honestly exasperated me.
