    like this is a really weird way to say
  • 00:00:01
    it is that you know people feel like
  • 00:00:04
    they feel something whenever they touch
  • 00:00:06
    another person and I remember like
  • 00:00:09
    whenever I first had like a girlfriend
  • 00:00:11
    and stuff I always hoped that I would
  • 00:00:13
    feel that way but it just felt the same
  • 00:00:14
    to me as touching like a a chair like I
  • 00:00:17
    never really felt anything like being
  • 00:00:19
    around or anyone and I realized that
  • 00:00:23
    like you know again I'm like an animal
  • 00:00:26
    or something like I don't even know
  • 00:00:28
    something like I don't even know
  • 00:00:34
    who isn't a fan of asmin

  • 00:01:06

  • 00:01:12

  • 00:01:14
    he is a
  • 00:01:16
    [Music]
  • 00:01:19
    God he is a slob God many people not
  • 00:01:22
    just me think he's smart he's a wise

    person that doesn't mean he doesn't have
  • 00:01:26
    issues he is also human he has problems

    people tend to see that he's a dirty
  • 00:01:32
    person with a dirty house who doesn't
  • 00:01:34
    take care of himself and all of this
  • 00:01:36
    other stuff and they don't understand
  • 00:01:39
    why he is like that when obviously
  • 00:01:41
    there's a darker meaning behind the
  • 00:01:44
    whole reason he is like that and in this
  • 00:01:46
    video we're going to try to get to the
  • 00:01:48
    bottom of this a little context on why I
  • 00:01:50
    actually found out all this stuff I was
  • 00:01:53
    watching an asmin gold reaction video
  • 00:01:55
    called the asmin gold Rabbit Hole it was
  • 00:01:57
    a great video up until the minute mark
  • 00:01:59
    an hour and 23 minutes and 55 seconds
  • 00:02:01
    here asmin gold got really real for like
  • 00:02:04
    13 minutes and I just want to dissect
  • 00:02:07
    this video with you guys please if you
  • 00:02:08
    enjoy this video make sure to give it a
  • 00:02:10
    like I'm a new up incoming YouTuber and
  • 00:02:12
    I'm learning the game guys thank you the
  • 00:02:15
    beginning I mean I think for me
  • 00:02:19
    is like the reason I started Living like
  • 00:02:22
    that is that like growing up like I
  • 00:02:24
    always felt like I wasn't really a
  • 00:02:27
    normal person I wasn't really a person I
  • 00:02:29
    was like an animal right or like some
  • 00:02:31
    sort of like in between between an
  • 00:02:32
    animal and a person now obviously after
  • 00:02:35
    just watching that clip you probably
  • 00:02:36
    think he's just kidding it makes sense
  • 00:02:38
    when I was watching it I thought he was
  • 00:02:40
    kidding the chat made jokes but listen
  • 00:02:42
    to this because I just felt like I I
  • 00:02:44
    never really connected with people
  • 00:02:46
    people didn't really like me a lot uh
  • 00:02:48
    and like you know and like no no really
  • 00:02:51
    right I I wouldn't be able to like
  • 00:02:52
    interact with people a furry no no like
  • 00:02:55
    uh um I think a good way to explain it
  • 00:02:58
    is like a hong hongus or like a Golem
  • 00:03:01
    right it's like you're look like a
  • 00:03:03
    person you act like a person but you're
  • 00:03:05
    not really a person disassociation is a
  • 00:03:07
    mental process that can involve a range
  • 00:03:09
    of experiences from mild attachment to
  • 00:03:11
    more severe disconnection disassociation
  • 00:03:14
    is when someone feels disconnected from
  • 00:03:15
    their thoughts feelings memories or
  • 00:03:17
    sense of identity I'm not saying asmin
  • 00:03:20
    gold has this or maybe he has a slight
  • 00:03:23
    sense of it but it sounds like he has
  • 00:03:25
    something like disassociation uh that's
  • 00:03:28
    always the way that I felt about myself
  • 00:03:29
    like uh growing up because of how much
  • 00:03:32
    like I I would I had like a number of
  • 00:03:33
    like pretty weird friction points
  • 00:03:34
    growing up where it was like kind of a
  • 00:03:37
    shock for me to see like kind of how
  • 00:03:39
    much different I was than other people
  • 00:03:41
    and I I think that after doing that and
  • 00:03:43
    then growing also like I didn't really
  • 00:03:45
    get along like you know never had girls
  • 00:03:47
    like me I I I didn't really have like
  • 00:03:49
    the normal like you know like I guess
  • 00:03:51
    growing up experience that a lot of
  • 00:03:53
    people did now right here I'm a little
  • 00:03:54
    confused is asmin gold saying he was
  • 00:03:56
    trying he wasn't dirty he was clean and
  • 00:03:59
    it was feel hard to like keep a
  • 00:04:01
    girlfriend and everything and I was
  • 00:04:02
    always treated quite badly in that
  • 00:04:04
    respect too and I thought to myself like
  • 00:04:06
    well you know if I live this way and
  • 00:04:10
    even despite living this way like people
  • 00:04:12
    don't like me and I still feel like like
  • 00:04:14
    [ __ ] and people still like you know
  • 00:04:16
    don't want to be around me and and don't
  • 00:04:18
    like me what what's the what's the point
  • 00:04:20
    of trying to to take care of yourself
  • 00:04:22
    what's the point of trying to do this so
  • 00:04:23
    he's saying he did take care of himself
  • 00:04:26
    he was clean but still people didn't
  • 00:04:28
    like him or care about him which may
  • 00:04:31
    have led to the reason for his
  • 00:04:33
    disassociation like why why am I trying
  • 00:04:36
    to uh fix myself if the fixed version of
  • 00:04:40
    myself people don't want it
  • 00:04:42
    anyway people never like me anyway so
  • 00:04:45
    who
  • 00:04:46
    cares for yourself I don't care about
  • 00:04:48
    myself that's not important to me what
  • 00:04:51
    what was matter to me is the way people
  • 00:04:52
    see me like and I will tell you how much
  • 00:04:56
    that's not how much that's true this
  • 00:04:58
    next part to me is just
  • 00:05:00
    wild I I I have these side of my teeth
  • 00:05:03
    fixed because I usually look at my
  • 00:05:05
    monitor from this side my teeth here are
  • 00:05:08
    missing because I never felt like fixing
  • 00:05:10
    those because people don't see that a
  • 00:05:11
    lot on camera so it's not that big of a
  • 00:05:13
    deal that's the only reason that one
  • 00:05:16
    side of my teeth is fixed and the other
  • 00:05:17
    one isn't the sheer laziness and ability
  • 00:05:20
    to not care and just let your teeth rot
  • 00:05:23
    out to me is one of the most wildest
  • 00:05:26
    statements and even though I love asmin
  • 00:05:28
    gold it is actually sad to me because
  • 00:05:32
    obviously he's not going to get those
  • 00:05:33
    teeth back it's cuz this is a side I
  • 00:05:36
    usually am seeing on on
  • 00:05:38
    camera that's
  • 00:05:40
    it that's statism content brain yeah
  • 00:05:42
    exactly right when I hear him read that
  • 00:05:45
    chat it's almost like he's trying to
  • 00:05:46
    disguise like the dark messed up stuff
  • 00:05:49
    he's talking about by reading something
  • 00:05:52
    funny it's disturbing kind of and um you
  • 00:05:55
    can see it all the time yeah I probably
  • 00:05:56
    should get it fixed I I might do that at
  • 00:05:58
    some point but um yeah yeah no I I live
  • 00:06:00
    like a degenerate I live like an animal
  • 00:06:02
    and um I I I think that it took me a
  • 00:06:05
    long time to like cuz it was weird right
  • 00:06:08
    growing up uh and especially like having
  • 00:06:11
    a lot of
  • 00:06:12
    the like I I had like friends that like
  • 00:06:15
    were able to go forward and like do
  • 00:06:17
    things in their life that you know I I
  • 00:06:19
    was very like I was envious of right
  • 00:06:20
    it's like I I I I growing up like I had
  • 00:06:24
    to help my mom like I had to take a lot
  • 00:06:26
    of like my student loan money and like
  • 00:06:27
    any money that I made and like give all
  • 00:06:29
    that money to her here's where he starts
  • 00:06:31
    to get really open with like the
  • 00:06:33
    backstory of the [ __ ] up [ __ ] of his
  • 00:06:35
    life and honestly this is what made me
  • 00:06:36
    want to make this video because like she
  • 00:06:39
    wasn't getting a job and like if I
  • 00:06:41
    didn't do that then she'd be homeless
  • 00:06:43
    and I I like I mean how could I take
  • 00:06:44
    care of her right and so I had to do
  • 00:06:46
    that and so I couldn't really go out and
  • 00:06:48
    and live a life the way that you know I
  • 00:06:50
    think a lot of other people like would
  • 00:06:51
    naturally want want to right I I
  • 00:06:54
    couldn't go out and do you know live in
  • 00:06:55
    an apartment with like other friends of
  • 00:06:57
    mine I couldn't go and uh you know have
  • 00:07:00
    different types of experiences that you
  • 00:07:03
    know people had growing up and uh you
  • 00:07:05
    know then my teeth started falling out
  • 00:07:07
    and it's like everything in my life was
  • 00:07:08
    awful right is it making this up no I I
  • 00:07:11
    mean I I wish I mean you can go back and
  • 00:07:12
    look at the videos yourself right I mean
  • 00:07:14
    like it I mean I've recorded everything
  • 00:07:16
    in my life right it's not like it's a
  • 00:07:17
    big secret uh effective relationships as
  • 00:07:19
    well yeah exactly like I I couldn't
  • 00:07:21
    really have a girlfriend because like I
  • 00:07:22
    was dealing with this and then I had
  • 00:07:24
    other issues I didn't have mind to go
  • 00:07:25
    out or do anything and so uh yeah yeah
  • 00:07:28
    it's never good enough no oh yeah and
  • 00:07:30
    that's it and so that happened a lot and
  • 00:07:34
    uh it it it it got to the point to where
  • 00:07:38
    like I had to cuz I cared a lot about
  • 00:07:41
    what people thought about me when I was
  • 00:07:44
    like um like I would say how old was I
  • 00:07:48
    maybe
  • 00:07:51
    like
  • 00:07:53
    like I would say 15 and under right
  • 00:07:56
    something like that 15 and under I
  • 00:07:58
    really cared a lot about it
  • 00:07:59
    he starts talking about when he stopped
  • 00:08:01
    caring about everything and then growing
  • 00:08:04
    up I realized that people would never
  • 00:08:06
    really it doesn't matter like what what
  • 00:08:08
    clothes I wear how I act anything like
  • 00:08:10
    that people are never going to like me
  • 00:08:12
    right uh it's not like uh you know I can
  • 00:08:15
    convince people that I'm not what I am
  • 00:08:17
    so I stopped giving a [ __ ] and so my
  • 00:08:20
    entire life I think has been in a lot of
  • 00:08:23
    cases
  • 00:08:25
    a process of caring about less things as
  • 00:08:29
    possible
  • 00:08:30
    right where it's like I you know growing
  • 00:08:31
    up i' I've had to stop caring about the
  • 00:08:34
    way that people felt about me and how
  • 00:08:36
    people perceived me uh then you know
  • 00:08:38
    having to deal with like my mom and then
  • 00:08:40
    like my dad getting like super [ __ ]
  • 00:08:42
    sick I had to like try to disconnect and
  • 00:08:44
    like you know come to terms of the fact
  • 00:08:46
    that like I'm going to lose and and you
  • 00:08:48
    know have everybody around me die right
  • 00:08:50
    and that already happened with my mom
  • 00:08:52
    and so it that was really awful and it
  • 00:08:53
    was hard for me to come to terms with
  • 00:08:55
    that and I still haven't really entirely
  • 00:08:57
    and like now I'm getting older right and
  • 00:09:00
    I'm you know I see my friends of mine as
  • 00:09:02
    like you know getting gray hair and um
  • 00:09:06
    you know I I sometimes I get afraid of
  • 00:09:07
    like kind of getting older and dying but
  • 00:09:10
    I I try not to think about it as much
  • 00:09:11
    anymore or care anymore because uh it
  • 00:09:16
    doesn't like there's nothing like you
  • 00:09:18
    can do about it it doesn't make a
  • 00:09:20
    difference like balding yeah balding
  • 00:09:21
    absolutely my friend my friend came
  • 00:09:23
    yesterday completely [ __ ] bald yeah
  • 00:09:25
    exactly and so I I had that happen
  • 00:09:30
    and so I had to like now I'm I'm kind of
  • 00:09:33
    much more in the process of trying to
  • 00:09:35
    just you know uh separate myself from
  • 00:09:39
    like the way I look or anything like
  • 00:09:40
    that like my self-image like I try not
  • 00:09:42
    to and this is like something that
  • 00:09:43
    happened like when I lost my teeth right
  • 00:09:46
    because like losing your teeth and like
  • 00:09:47
    having all your teeth falling out and
  • 00:09:48
    like rotting whenever you're like you
  • 00:09:50
    know ages like 20 to like 25 right
  • 00:09:53
    that's like insanely bad like people
  • 00:09:55
    look at you and they're just like it's
  • 00:09:57
    disgusting and it was because is
  • 00:09:59
    disgusting he starts to get into a
  • 00:10:01
    little bit more about his feelings and
  • 00:10:04
    the feelings of disassociation so it's
  • 00:10:08
    like you you have to develop a certain
  • 00:10:09
    degree of like
  • 00:10:11
    uh you know like you you you can look in
  • 00:10:13
    the mirror and you can see yourself but
  • 00:10:15
    like you think about it as like an uh
  • 00:10:18
    it's like an intellectual perspective
  • 00:10:19
    where it's like you don't really see
  • 00:10:21
    yourself as like you don't have an
  • 00:10:23
    emotional attachment to the way that you
  • 00:10:24
    look or you know like what you are and I
  • 00:10:27
    I felt like I had to develop that a lot
  • 00:10:29
    in in my life and then now I'm even
  • 00:10:32
    having to do that with myself as an
  • 00:10:34
    individual uh because obviously I'm
  • 00:10:37
    getting older I've had like issues with
  • 00:10:38
    my back Etc and I've been very lucky
  • 00:10:41
    right that nothing else like that has
  • 00:10:42
    happened but
  • 00:10:44
    um you know like learning to let go of
  • 00:10:46
    yourself is a pretty hard thing to do uh
  • 00:10:49
    but yeah no and and it there's a lot
  • 00:10:50
    more to it right and uh like experiences
  • 00:10:53
    I've
  • 00:10:54
    had you know growing up especially and
  • 00:10:58
    so I try not to I try not to think about
  • 00:11:01
    it or care at all because I think in the
  • 00:11:04
    end it doesn't really matter right I
  • 00:11:05
    mean it I I don't like I'm not a big
  • 00:11:08
    believer in like an afterlife or
  • 00:11:09
    anything like that I think that's all
  • 00:11:10
    just [ __ ] that people tell
  • 00:11:12
    themselves so they can feel better about
  • 00:11:14
    you know the fact that uh you know
  • 00:11:15
    people are are just [ __ ] nothing
  • 00:11:17
    right it's just meat and so uh yeah that
  • 00:11:21
    that's that's the way I've seen it here
  • 00:11:22
    is one of the funniest clips of the
  • 00:11:25
    video guys he's talking about some
  • 00:11:27
    messed up stuff in the the dark reality
  • 00:11:30
    he's seen while he's just cracking up a
  • 00:11:34
    Pepsi it's hilarious and I have a a very
  • 00:11:36
    dark outlook on life and pretty much
  • 00:11:39
    everything and I I think that the more
  • 00:11:40
    that I explain my perspective of things
  • 00:11:44
    uh the the darker it gets and so I think
  • 00:11:47
    a lot of those things contributed to
  • 00:11:49
    like the way that I live
  • 00:11:56
    and and so yeah I think that's a lot of
  • 00:11:58
    the reason reasons why I did it it's not
  • 00:12:01
    a crude matter it doesn't matter I mean
  • 00:12:02
    it's whatever right but that's the way
  • 00:12:04
    it happens you're dark you're kind of
  • 00:12:06
    real no I I I try to be realistic about
  • 00:12:08
    it as much as possible and do you
  • 00:12:10
    believe in God no it's fake um I it's
  • 00:12:12
    possible right it's definitely possible
  • 00:12:14
    I just don't think it's happening like I
  • 00:12:16
    don't I I don't think there's any proof
  • 00:12:17
    for it growing up I always assumed that
  • 00:12:19
    I would die alone because of how weird I
  • 00:12:22
    am I'm going to end it off with the
  • 00:12:24
    craziest and creepiest clip of this
  • 00:12:27
    video If you enjoyed the video just make
  • 00:12:29
    sure to like And subscribe guys I guess
  • 00:12:31
    like this is a really weird way to say
  • 00:12:33
    it is that you know people feel like
  • 00:12:36
    they feel something whenever they touch
  • 00:12:37
    another person and I remember like
  • 00:12:40
    whenever I first had like a girlfriend
  • 00:12:42
    and stuff I always hoped that I would
  • 00:12:44
    feel that way but it just felt the same
  • 00:12:46
    to me as touching like a a chair like I
  • 00:12:48
    never really felt anything like being
  • 00:12:51
    around or anyone and I realized that
  • 00:12:55
    like you know again I'm like an animal
  • 00:12:58
    or something like I don't even know and
  • 00:13:01
    so yeah I figure [ __ ] it I might as well
  • 00:13:03
    live like an animal too so this [ __ ]
  • 00:13:06
    hilarious I know it's really not funny
  • 00:13:08
    but his smile just makes me laugh I
  • 00:13:10
    don't know I know I I don't even I yeah
  • 00:13:13
    that that's the way it
  • 00:13:14
    is and uh when based women are
  • 00:13:18
    [Music]
  • 00:13:19
    chairs hey you know like there it is try
  • 00:13:22
    touching a dude H it's a good one I like
  • 00:13:25
    that and Dev internal a lot of people
  • 00:13:27
    enjoy your content no that's f fine I
  • 00:13:29
    know that people like me right yeah of
  • 00:13:31
    course your extreme case yeah uh no that
  • 00:13:34
    that's the way I see it too and um yeah
  • 00:13:38
    it was a very very weird realization I
  • 00:13:40
    remember I was like in sixth grade
  • 00:13:42
    whenever I I started to like really
  • 00:13:43
    realize that about myself
  • 00:13:45
    and like again I think that it's a
  • 00:13:50
    um it's like if you think of an onion
  • 00:13:53
    there are just like more and more layers
  • 00:13:55
    of it and the more layers the worse it
  • 00:13:58
    gets
  • 00:14:00
    so that's basically it there's a reason
  • 00:14:04
    why I'm in my house that has mold and
  • 00:14:07
    garbage and animals everywhere living in
  • 00:14:11
    mold trash Blood on the wall and this is
  • 00:14:15
    just the way I by myself with the doors
  • 00:14:17
    locked yep obviously asmin gold has gone
  • 00:14:20
    through some crazy stuff in his life
  • 00:14:22
    that we probably don't know about and it
  • 00:14:25
    kind of reminds me of that 8 Mile scene
  • 00:14:27
    where he's like you don't what the [ __ ]
  • 00:14:30
    I've been through
