00:00:00.000 somebody that's good for you just because of what he'd done yesterday
00:00:03.300 or before he met you, then you're living in a delusional world.
00:00:06.320 But it's relevant as well because you only know what you know.
00:00:09.340 And depending on how you've been brought up and where you're from,
00:00:12.220 the people that you've been around, where your parents or your family are,
00:00:16.660 it is relevant because you only know what you know.
00:00:18.980 I think it's actually really smart to look at people's background when dating.
00:00:23.400 It is in a certain aspect.
00:00:24.700 It is.
00:00:25.440 I'm not saying you can't overcome bad choices.
00:00:28.120 Some people do, but I still do think that if a guy has a criminal background,
00:00:33.620 you should maybe choose a guy that doesn't.
00:00:35.780 Be more precautious for sure.
00:00:37.680 I think it depends on what criminal background they have though
00:00:40.580 because you can't look at us, oh, he's got a criminal record.
00:00:44.380 He's a bad guy.
00:00:46.820 It depends on what it is and what scale.
00:00:49.280 Honestly, all of this really goes back to the women.
00:00:52.360 I got to be honest, guys.
00:00:54.920 She's on them.
00:00:55.640 Because it's like with these guys or girls or whatever come from these bad backgrounds, right?
00:01:02.780 But why do they come from these bad backgrounds?
00:01:05.620 Well, the women destroyed the home, most of them.
00:01:09.940 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:10.420 The women either chose to have children with men that weren't fathers nor wanted to be fathers
00:01:17.380 or they chose to leave their husband or their boyfriend, whatever it is.
00:01:24.640 And then we're going back to the kids suffering, right?
00:01:28.980 And now they're in this traumatic situation with like where they maybe make bad decisions.
00:01:36.160 So really, this is like full circle, guys.
00:01:39.060 It is a vicious cycle.
00:01:40.740 Can I just ask you though?
00:01:41.620 Because you said it's better to have children young,
00:01:44.040 but actually you're more likely to make mistakes at that age
00:01:46.380 and have children with the wrong fathers.
00:01:47.640 And then you exacerbate that cycle.
00:01:50.440 What do you mean you're more likely to make mistakes?
00:01:53.300 Because you're younger, you're not as well informed.
00:01:56.500 You're not as experienced.
00:01:57.700 I want to make sure I'm picking the right person.
00:02:00.440 That's why some people I've dated in the past, I would not have a child with them.
00:02:04.600 I think that you really just, you'll never know for sure.
00:02:09.740 I think like, because what are you going to find out?
00:02:13.160 Like you're never really going to know until you get married or until you live with someone.
00:02:16.700 So it's like, I feel like women, like we operate in fear.
00:02:19.260 Like, oh, like we could find someone better.
00:02:21.540 Oh, something could go wrong where it's like, you just pick someone and make it work.
00:02:26.500 I say you pick someone, make it work.
00:02:28.600 This is something I always say.
00:02:29.420 Yeah, I think currently we know too much when it comes to life, society and choices.
00:02:37.080 And because of that, every time we're trying to make a decision, we always have excuses.
00:02:44.900 Every single time.
00:02:46.020 The thing is though, it's facts that some people are born into harder circumstances than others.
00:02:50.680 So how is that an excuse?
00:02:53.600 Yeah, but that's why I always go back to our grandparents.
00:02:56.900 It's the mother's fault.
00:02:57.860 What made our grandparents and our parents and our great-grandparents stay together?
00:03:04.100 What made them stay together?
00:03:05.440 Mom's amazing, by the way.
00:03:06.540 Knowing that they probably went through the same traumas, same experiences, same everything.
00:03:10.900 They probably had it worse, honestly.
00:03:12.460 They probably had it worse than us.
00:03:13.700 But like what made them stay together versus our mindset now?
00:03:15.500 But that's why we have things like intergenerational trauma.
00:03:18.480 Intergenerational trauma is trauma passed down because people in the past didn't have access to mental health.
00:03:23.200 They didn't understand it.
00:03:24.020 They weren't aware.
00:03:24.180 Okay, well, don't you think people all had generational trauma?
00:03:26.680 They lived through like famines and shit.
00:03:28.400 Yeah, a lot of people did.
00:03:30.780 And back in the day, they were told to shut up and sit down and get on with you.
00:03:34.200 But that's why there's a lot of trauma now.
00:03:35.820 But not everybody's born.
00:03:37.240 Who is told to shut up and get on with you?
00:03:38.120 Like in like...
00:03:39.360 The women?
00:03:40.440 I think the world might be better if we did.
00:03:42.860 No, back in the day, like for both men and women, you wouldn't necessarily express...
00:03:47.680 Especially men.
00:03:48.380 I mean, men have got...
00:03:49.100 That's a whole other topic.
00:03:50.440 Men have got extremely hard.
00:03:54.020 But it's only more recent days that it's, you know, mental health and access to treatment and stuff has come to light.
00:04:01.900 Like over the last like kind of what?
00:04:03.760 Five years-ish.
00:04:05.700 I don't know if that's right or not.
00:04:06.620 I think that mental health makes us crazier.
00:04:10.160 Yeah.
00:04:10.740 Yeah.
00:04:11.000 I think that mental health is actually...
00:04:12.800 I think psychologists or whatever make people crazy and don't fix them and actually make the problem worse.
00:04:19.940 Why?
00:04:20.380 What do you mean in terms of like...
00:04:22.440 So the last 20 years, have we had an increase in therapy or a decrease in therapy?
00:04:27.720 Increase.
00:04:28.460 Increase.
00:04:29.080 So in the last 20 years, have we had an increase in mental health problems?
00:04:34.200 Increase.
00:04:35.060 But that's because more people are aware and they're comfortable to seek help.
00:04:39.500 Back in the day, there was a massive stigma.
00:04:41.640 So you know what I think about therapy?
00:04:43.840 I think we were actually...
00:04:45.240 So the average woman used to have five kids, right?
00:04:47.680 And I think you were meant to talk about your problems with your family and your siblings.
00:04:52.040 But now we're in this society where women didn't have multiple kids.
00:04:55.920 They were in single parent homes.
00:04:58.000 And now we have no one to talk to.
00:05:00.160 No one that we feel close with.
00:05:02.140 And so I think it was meant to be your family.
00:05:04.500 And now you're talking to a stranger, which I'm in the psychology program, actually, at my school.
00:05:09.480 And I can tell you, these women in the program, dear God, don't go to them.
00:05:14.020 Dear God, they're nuts.
00:05:15.460 They're all freaking crazy.
00:05:17.320 I see the behind the scenes of who you guys are going to.
00:05:20.100 That's what the psychologists are.
00:05:21.560 Yeah, yeah, because they're all trying to be therapists, right?
00:05:24.200 Yeah, and they're always the craziest women.
00:05:26.100 I'm like, dear God, I hope you don't fix my mental health.
00:05:28.700 They probably have a passion for it because of that and it actually can make them more relatable.
00:05:32.300 Well, not all of them.
00:05:33.120 Of course, there's some that wouldn't be that good.
00:05:35.360 But then it's like, so we have to look at, are they fixing the problem?
00:05:40.300 Well, if the problem's getting worse, I can't say they're fixing it.
00:05:44.260 The problem is getting worse because, not worse, the statistics are worse because more people are coming forward and actually seeking help because it's okay.
00:05:52.280 Can we talk about how social media is actually making you worse?
00:05:55.040 Yeah, 100%.
00:05:56.000 Can I say one more thing?
00:05:57.040 You can't always speak to your family.
00:05:58.640 Most of the time, people who experience trauma, it's from their family.
00:06:02.080 So you would never be able to talk to your family.
00:06:03.820 You may be embarrassed.
00:06:05.800 Yeah.
00:06:06.040 And also, they could gaslight you.
00:06:07.580 They could make you think that it's not real.
00:06:09.220 Like, you can't go to your family and your experience.
00:06:11.600 Same thing a therapist could do as well.
00:06:13.020 Yeah.
00:06:13.440 So I'll go.
00:06:14.260 So that's why you're supposed to have five, like, they're supposed to have, like, five kids because you'd imagine one of your siblings would understand.
00:06:20.540 They've been through the same thing.
00:06:22.020 Yeah, you can get more confident of siblings probably.
00:06:24.440 And then number two, number two, that's the other thing.
00:06:26.760 The therapist, you kind of, you'll say your family will gaslight you.
00:06:30.960 Well, maybe you are overreacting.
00:06:32.860 Maybe you don't have trauma.
00:06:34.780 And the therapist is paid to tell you you have trauma, so you'll come back.
00:06:39.880 People, people, when people are suffering from severe mental health issues, they can feel so bad.
00:06:48.340 Like, it's obvious that it's real.
00:06:50.260 No one wants to feel bad.
00:06:52.300 Like, no one wants to be.
00:06:53.580 If they had the choice, they wouldn't be in that.
00:06:55.560 Okay.
00:06:55.920 So I'll give you one.
00:06:57.720 I do think there is severe trauma from men that come back from war.
00:07:02.140 Not you getting cheated on by your ex-boyfriend, Becky.
00:07:06.120 But that's a good point.
00:07:07.600 Most people that get cheated on and then it affects them so much, they've already got abandonment and trust issues from things that stem from their family.
00:07:13.680 People that are very secure and don't have that trauma, they can accept.
00:07:16.880 I think you should just get over it.
00:07:18.860 I think we should just get over stuff.
00:07:20.720 Yeah.
00:07:21.040 I think there's real problems.
00:07:22.840 Like, I think if you were graped, that's real trauma.
00:07:25.560 I think if you went to, like, war.
00:07:27.780 Yeah.
00:07:27.960 But, you know, you fighting with your mother, is that real?
00:07:30.860 You should just get over it.
00:07:32.100 It depends on why you're fighting.
00:07:34.040 It depends on so many things.
00:07:35.060 It depends on if you've had an unpredictable environment.
00:07:37.180 It depends if it started from.
00:07:38.140 I would say, like, abuse.
00:07:40.480 But there's a lot of abuse.
00:07:42.060 There's mental abuse.
00:07:42.960 There's a lot of abuse.
00:07:43.640 You know, you can't just say me grabbing you and being physical is abuse.
00:07:47.360 Mental abuse is a lot more harmful than physical abuse.
00:07:51.140 I do think if you were mentally, I think if you were real mentally abused, I think that a lot of times we add in all these things that are mental abuse that aren't really mental abuse.
00:08:01.640 But if you were seriously mentally abused, I'll give you that.
00:08:05.700 I'll give you that.
00:08:06.280 Yeah, and I also think I agree one tiny bit with you in that now people that aren't actually anxious.
00:08:15.260 The words are thrown about a bit too much.
00:08:17.300 If you're not really clinically anxious, not clinically depressed, we can't be like, oh, we're having a down day.
00:08:22.120 I'm depressed.
00:08:22.780 Oh, I'm a bit nervous.
00:08:23.620 I'm anxious.
00:08:24.660 Because actually, that invalidates the people that are suffering.
00:08:29.700 That invalidates the people that are suffering for real.
00:08:32.500 Some people are really suffering with that and then everyone's throwing the word around.
00:08:35.860 It's like, no, you don't actually understand.
00:08:37.860 Yeah, it's true.
00:08:38.100 It's true.
00:08:38.460 I do agree.
00:08:39.620 No, it's true.
00:08:40.160 Sometimes it's excuses.
00:08:41.840 It's just, you know, trying to make something check up on your friends.
00:08:45.620 Or it's thrown around so much that they just say it.
00:08:47.120 Ask them how they're doing, check up on your friends.
00:08:48.720 I also think, okay, because imagine, right, your sister's telling you about a problem.
00:08:53.120 You're going to have a completely different reaction because you know your sister.
00:08:58.120 So if your sister says, this person reacted to me this way, well, you know your sister's
00:09:02.260 a bitch.
00:09:02.960 So of course they reacted to you this way.
00:09:05.280 Damn.
00:09:05.720 But the therapist is going to say, aw, you poor thing.
00:09:10.300 You are not the problem.
00:09:11.940 But the family knows how the person is.
00:09:15.600 Now, I'm not saying take advice from every family member.
00:09:18.760 Certainly not your mother that, you know, maybe is a bit crazy, broke the whole family
00:09:23.180 up.
00:09:23.560 Don't ask advice from her.
00:09:25.060 But maybe your father, right?
00:09:26.660 The men are a little more logical.
00:09:28.220 They're trying to fix problems.
00:09:30.120 Yeah.
00:09:30.680 But a therapist will also make you go deeper into whatever that is.
00:09:34.080 Like, how do you interpret?
00:09:36.400 Yeah, yeah.
00:09:37.160 Being called a bitch.
00:09:37.840 The therapist, especially if they're women, they don't want to fix it.
00:09:40.640 They just want to talk about how it made you feel.
00:09:42.840 We should be looking to fix the problem.
00:09:45.280 What would solve this?
00:09:47.220 Obviously, they are meant to do that.
00:09:48.500 Also, as well as being empathetic, they should be something called developing discrepancy and
00:09:53.140 cognitive dissonance, which is saying like, for example, you're saying this on one hand,
00:09:57.340 you're saying that on the other hand, and you are meant to make people think twice as
00:10:01.140 well as being empathetic.
00:10:02.020 I went to therapy once.
00:10:03.400 Yeah, they didn't like me there.
00:10:06.160 I was just like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever, what?
00:10:08.840 What?
00:10:10.040 Why?
00:10:11.400 Because she wasn't trying to fix my problem.
00:10:13.900 She was just like asking.
00:10:14.900 And I'm like.
00:10:15.380 They're trying to keep you in your problems.
00:10:16.860 Yeah, yeah.
00:10:17.360 That's what it is.
00:10:18.180 I was like.
00:10:18.800 Trying to make you question yourself.
00:10:20.180 Yeah.
00:10:21.300 Trying to ask me about my childhood.
00:10:22.760 I'm like, what do you need to know about my childhood?
00:10:24.800 Where did it start from?
00:10:26.100 What does this have?
00:10:26.600 What does that have to do with where we are now?
00:10:28.220 That's because my trauma comes from childhood.
00:10:30.860 That's why they're still in that.
00:10:31.760 They trick you.
00:10:32.800 They trick you into thinking you had trauma.
00:10:35.820 Yeah.
00:10:35.920 I think that if you.
00:10:37.020 Okay, there was a girl that came from North Korea.
00:10:39.220 All right.
00:10:39.860 This woman had the craziest story.
00:10:42.300 She freaking was great.
00:10:44.560 She had.
00:10:45.080 She was running front.
00:10:46.180 Like, it was a very, very sad story.
00:10:48.360 And she was so confused.
00:10:49.640 Because when she got to America, like all these women were going to therapy over their
00:10:53.460 ex-boyfriends.
00:10:54.140 And she's like, I escaped North Korea.
00:10:56.140 I don't need therapy.
00:10:57.280 And she thought the idea of therapy was so dumb.
00:10:59.500 This is a woman that was literally.
00:11:02.960 Was escaping like communism.
00:11:05.660 I feel like some people have a different mindset.
00:11:09.060 Like if you really like strong mentally, you can overcome a lot of more things.
00:11:13.760 It's a lot of people that, you know, no disrespect, but are quite weak mentality, like mentally
00:11:19.720 tend to suffer a lot more like where it comes to things that happen to them.
00:11:24.940 And they kind of just suppress it into mental, like certain health and whatever.
00:11:29.280 All right.
