they always take a kernel of good advice and stretch it into something ludicrous

"certain video games designed to be addictive can be harmful to your attention span and productivity. if you feel they haven't been fun in a while and are more of a convenient distraction from better things to do, try limiting your time spent playing them."

quickly turns into

"if you even own a video game of any sort, you're a fucking loser, bruv, your head's full of shite m8, get a grip wont you lad. fucking dumbass aye."

it's like even in the process of trying to self-improve, toxic masculinity just ends up amplifying it into something unhealthy anyway lmao

This is only slightly related but I genuinely believe men can get more out reading and consuming more great works of fiction than they will from several self help books.

video games can be positive. My most played game on switch with over 90 hours is taiko , which i play on the drums, every session I work up a sweat, good reflex response time practice, good way to take things out by hitting something on a little plastic thing that can take my abuse , its good shit man

and then we have ring fit, my second most played on the switch, that gives you helpful life tips like "set big long term goals and small short term goals"

and then we have a more traditional game like elden ring that teaches you to try a bunch of stuff out and think outside the box to overcome adversity.

and then we have even more games, like amazing retro games like taito's metal black thats is just such an amazing masterpiece in sound, design, graphics, thats its just fucking timeless and anybody who can't enjoy that can get the fuck out of my life.

This so much. It can be pretty difficult to apply what you think is good advice to your particular situation, especially dating advice.

Whenever someone gives me advice I just think that's what they would do not what I would do.

Definitely best to learn what works for you and your personality rather than trying to follow advice that are presented as golden rules

The TC, who I'm pretty sure I used to talk to often, needs a lot more than youtube self-help.

A lot of self help is just snake oil made to sell stuff to weaker minded people

Youre better off getting a therapist than reading those stupid books.

If you want something more gamer-friendly, healthygamergg seems pretty good from what I've seen.

Alright then.

Only some of his vids are interviews, if that's what you're referring to.
