Ciao a tutti voi adorabili gooners! Since im here for the snacks rather than the therapy i don´t have much to ask. Oh wait, i remember. I have to attend a wedding soon, any idea how to spend my free time during the afterparty when all the families judge the food and the uncles/aunts forget you haven´t seen them in over a decade. Also watched the latest SDP gaming video and Stacy was robbed, she was just too real.

Hi Mika and Aztro! I would first like to thank you for your advice for college, I will definitely take everything you said into account! But, throughout this whole summer, I’ve really been questioning my self worth. I’ve been reconsidering the validity my greatest achievements, questioning my own skills, and thinking that I can’t surpass the heights i achieved in high school. Basically living in fear of peaking in high school. I’ve also been getting into art a little bit as of recently. And I love making a piece, but it’s just impossible for me not to compare it to other people’s work and feel inferior. Once again reconsidering my skills and ability as an artist. This feels very scattershot but my point is that I’ve just been dealing with a LOT of self-doubt as of late, and any advice for this would be massively appreciated. Yeetmaster out.

Hello aztro and mika. Thank you for what you said. I’ve been trying to get into editing for a big video project I’ve been thinking of (around 4-5 hours along) using a cracked version of adobe premiere pro. Should I be doing that as my first project? I’m also trying to make the script. But would I learn over time? Or should I just record shorter videos and work up to that project with better scripting and editing due to the shorter videos?

Hey guys first off I just wanna say that I appreciate u having me come into a call in on the pod, I can barely listen to the part that I’m in bc I get cringed out by my own voice and a lot of the time I say some dumb shit that I end up regretting the second after I say it. Anyways as someone who believes and was raised to always put others first, I find myself not finding as much time to focus on me. I’ve also noticed for a lot of people I’m their go to when they need advice or someone to just rant to which I have no problem with, but what does bother me is that after all these years of living like that I’ve realized that the people I call my friends, (depending on the time best friends) have never seen me as a first choice? That might be worded weird but I’m basically saying that no one has ever seen me as their top or best friend, as if I’m just a side character there when they need me. Looking back, I don’t know if I can think of any time I’ve seen one of my friends actually go out of their way to talk to me specifically or make an effort at showing that I actually do mean a lot to them and that I’m not just a convenience or a “void filler.” Anyways sorry for typing so much but hope u guys have a great day and much love. <3

Hi guys, I hope you're doing well! I know this is a bit of a complex topic but I can't really turn to my friends. My high school has a ranking of everyone's GPA and I'm around rank 60 (top 10%) and the school is pretty competitive. My friends have shared their ranks amongst us but I haven't, some of my friends are lower than me but some are higher, one of my best friends is rank 3. Since middle school my main personality trait has been my intelligence but it feels like its a lie. I had a really tough freshman year with Covid which has led me to doubt myself for all of high school. I've been doing better with grades for the past year but it's too late for my rank to change. Also although my friends don't know my rank I'll often end up bragging about whatever I can if someone doubts me or says that they're top 5%. Generally I'd end up bragging about things like grades on individual tests in harder AP classes or about my 1540 SAT score. I know that this might be complex but my parents don't understand why I care about my GPA so much and I don't want my friends to know that my intelligence is almost a lie. I'm starting to apply to colleges which has only worsened my insecurities and I don't want to inadvertently hurt my friends through bragging when I go back to school.

Hey you two. I've made the terrible decision to pick up creating Youtube videos as a hobby and was looking for some advice since I have been a long time watcher and really respect both your content. Do you guys have any tips of script writing and voiceovers? It seems like everytime I write or record something it takes and obscene amount of effort and I can't help but spend hours writing/recording what seems like a very short amount of content (which is not good considering I want to do something more long form). Do you guys have any tips for a brand new content creator on how to not misuse time and effort? Of course, any general tips regarding the work & creator space would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work ya'll

hey aztro and mika (aka the sexiest dudes on the internet)! by the time you’re reading this i’ve already started my senior year of high school (yayyyy). i’m less nervous than i thought i would be tbh, but i still don’t know exactly what i wanna do with my life after high school or what i want to major in. i go to a school that is full time dual enrollment so when i get to “big real college”, i’ll have even less time to declare a major since i’ll already have my associates degree. so basically, how do i deal with making a big decision in the seemingly short amount of time i have left? (ps. you guys and the pod never fail to make me question my financial decisions <3)

My cat's getting old and my mum's mentioned that she may only have a year or 2 left, do you have any advice for how to deal with that. And also any advice for how to get through my last year of school without failing or disapointing my parents while still finding ways to do the things i love?

Heyyy what's up Aztro and Mika. It's been a while so I'm checking in :] I'm in my senior year of college isn't that crazy ? I just finished this summer semester. Grad school applications are coming up and I'm super nervous. I don't have any super pressing or specific therapy time questions but I would appreciate any advice of entering the Real World (tm). I'm talking being booted off my parents insurance and the like. I think the thing I struggle with most is telling myself that I am actually capable of what I've been studying for these years. It's hard to actually picture me calling myself an engineer if that makes sense. Anyway hope u guys are doing well and thanks in advance for reading this !

Hello Mika and aztro. Is ADHD considered a disability? Due to extreme difficulties focusing on my uni classes, I went to see some medical professionals and was recently diagnosed with ADHD. My parents come from a culture where mental health problems and similar invisible issues are incredibly looked down upon. Throughout my childhood, I was treated as stupid and always told I was never applying myself fully. Whenever I would talk to them, they would always tell me that no child of theirs would be "retarded" or a variety of other slurs. Now that I have this diagnosis and have prescribed medication hidden away, I am not sure how to discuss this with them, if at all. I am currently living with them for low rent and not in a situation where I would be able to move out. Do you guys have any experience dealing with situations like this and any advice? I am slightly afraid I will be kicked out if they find my normal pills (epic Dream reference)

Hey Mika and Aztro (🤰)! Much appreciation for the Mudkip praise, definitely my favorite Pokémon and the best starter by far across all generations imo. The last time I commented I had asked for your opinions on the situation concerning my trans boyfriend and my parents, and I want to thank you for addressing it and giving me a couple pointers. I don’t really have anything to ask about but I do want to say that the content you guys make is really great and I’m so glad to have stumbled upon the channel. All four of you have amazing comedic chemistry and I really hope that you guys continue to make videos together for the next while. I really do enjoy getting to interact like this and I’m hoping to participate in a call-in at some point soon. Also I totally started off the comment with my Pokémon starter take just to start an argument because I’m so mischievous and evil 😈. I know this isn’t related to therapy much but thank you for the advice and all that you guys do!
