That is the moment where your mind is vulnerable to knowing what other people think of your new forum

Say my name.

You’re god damn right.

What’s up guys?

Today we’ll talk about dopamine and this…a torn sock.

For those of you guys who haven’t watched the video I posted on Friday, let me clarify this issue.

I uploaded a video about, How exactly I make my videos.

There is a scene that I am laid back and my feet is facing the camera and boom take a look at this.

A hole in my sock.

What a disaster…

To be honest I didn’t know my sock was torn that day until I decided to edit that video and there you go, a little lovely hole… from which the air can go in and come out.

Brilliant.

So there I was thinking “I can easily remove the hole.

I am good with editing and it was just a matter of duplicating the layer, and using a mask, and changing the position of the layer on top. And done”

The problem is gone.

But I was like, why should I do that?

This is gonna be a great opportunity for me to come here and talk about this topic.

Because I simply knew that you guys were going to/gonna point that out.

We all are used to hearing and seeing lies and believing them.

What do I mean by that?

We use some sort of media platform, social media, TV, Newspapers, magazines, you name it.

We use at least one platform.

And believe it or not, we are addicted to one of them.

To be a human means you are persuadable, it doesn’t matter what language you speak, it doesn’t matter how intelligent you are.

It’s not about what you know, it’s about how your mind works.

We are all vulnerable to social approval.

We really care what other people think of us.

Alright?

Let me prove it to you…

So let’s say you use Instagram, you share a photo of yourself.

That’s a moment where our mind is vulnerable to knowing what other people think of our new photo.

What does Instagram do?

Each like and comment you receive, it gives you a notification.

Since you want people’s attention you’ll be constantly checking your phone.

Again and again and again…

Social media is using this vulnerability against you.

And this leads you to be unreal.

You are more beautiful on social media than real life.

Because you always share your best photo with a lot of filters.

This is gonna make you insecure in real life and ultimately depressed.

You guys have been led to believe everything on social media is perfect…

Because you are not used to seeing these things on social media.

I’m perfectly sure most of you guys have torn socks.

Not only you have them but you wear them when you go outside.

You’re gonna be like “hell! I’m wearing a shoe, who’s gonna notice this?”

This is all caused by the release of dopamine…

Beautiful girls release dopamine in your brain.

Handsome guys online do the same.

That is why you guys are using social media to get that dopamine released.

But when you see a hole in my sock your brain is like “bro, I can’t release dopamine for this? Send a comment and address that”

What other things will make your brain release dopamine?

Movies… let’s take a romantic movie as an example.

You see a couple hugging, kissing, loving each other… the guy is constantly chasing the woman, begging her to love him… it all revolves around a Romeo and Juliet love story…

You see that, your brain releases some dopamine and be like “ yo mama! This is love…”

But in real life that’s not gonna happen.

No man or woman will love you like that.

That’s not real life.

This one was for women.

Women love romantic movies.

Let’s talk about something that men are into.

Something perverted…

Disclaimer: we’re gonna talk about pornography…

Whatever happens there, I’m not gonna address that.

But pornography is about a lot of things and reality is not one of them.

You can’t be that perverted around your loved ones.

And plus it’s all about abusing women…

But you guys keep watching it, why? because it releases dopamine.

Then you apply it in real life… and you know what’s gonna happen.

Let’s take one last thing as an example… news…

Yep… this one can release dopamine too.

Coronavirus… we hear news about it every single day, every single day…

Do we all need to hear this every day? No…

Because it gives you fear… it controls you.

It paralyzes you… the more afraid you are, the more vulnerable you gonna be…

What should you know about coronavirus? What?

Stay at home… if you can’t stay at home. Okay fine.

Use masks and gloves and take precautions.

That’s it. that’s all you need to know. One sentence.

But on the news, that’s not gonna happen.

So today I’d like to invite all you guys to live your real life.

I don’t want you to stop watching movies, checking social media, or the news…

If you do stop it congratulations.

But if you can’t for whatever reason, be totally self-aware.

Know what is happening in your body, know everything you are watching is far from reality.

Understand do not compare anything to your real life.

And I promise I’ll stay professional and never wear torn socks.

See ya.
