I’ll admit I’m a little lost/down, it came out of nowhere! Over the years he’s produced an endless stream of genuinely interesting videos. I can’t really think of any other video hosts that can make a wide range of topics sound so interesting.
Probably I’m just scared of change…
On the flip side though, I’m really happy that he’s decided his personal happiness is more important, and has decided to focus on people close to him.
What are your thoughts?
Its para-social.
Its sad but these relationships might be some of the ‘most’ meaningful relationships some people have.
It’s incredibly sad, and as much as I have never had to endure that yet I’m sure I and many other will experience it at some point in our lives as we get older and all our friends die, leaving us all alone.
So you’ve never felt sad or emotional about a character in a book, or a film? You’ve never regretted that a TV series ended? Never been attached to any inanimate object (favorite shirt gifted by a dead family member f.e.), or whatever? These are all the same function. Yes, a lot of people take it too far and invest themselves too strongly. But this is fundamental to all functioning humans.
Humans create connections by their very nature, and if they don’t - they’re mentally ill and probably not fit for human society at large.
