oh let's see how many subscribers I lose with this video
what is up everybody this is Chris from the Reebok soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is
all about mental health so I try to take things going on you know in the news and
pop culture they're trying to teach you how to improve your mental health so if
you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification
bell so real quick with as much as I try to teach you guys not to care what
people think like I do care I care and I don't care at the same time it's really
weird how our brains work right but you know with all the Shane Dawson content
I've done I'm worried that a lot of you are gonna think I'm a one-trick pony and
I'm not not because everything I look at everything I see I'm like what can we
learn from this what can we take from this
right so today rather than using youtubers as an example I'm gonna use
the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia to talk to you
about toxic relationships how cool is that
so I might lose some subscribers depending on which side of the aisle
you're on but I would ask you sit in this with an open mind and just kind of
look at this because what I try to do with all these videos is just try to
make it relatable like there's so many things we can look at and be like oh wow
this is something that's actually going on in my life in a different way I plan
on doing a whole video explaining why my brain works the way it does because
there were some moments in my life that turned me into Who I am and why I make
this content so anyways what a minute it happened and I'm just babbling so
for those of you who don't know what's going on like ketchup I'm gonna link to
Philip defranco's video from Friday about what's happening with Saudi Arabia
and this journalist the show part of the story real quick like if you want more
in-depth information on it watch the philip defranco episode anyways this is
a journalist from you know I think cookie you came back to get a divorce
from his wife ended up missing pretty much he got murdered and in a very
brutal way this has been an international story for the last week
two weeks you know since his disappearance you know like watching
this right now like well throughout this entire thing I'm just seeing how about
man Donald Trump in the United States is getting abused Saudi Arabia also turned
today when speaking with reporters said he was not satisfied with Saudi Arabia's
explanation they're also saying at the same time he quote doesn't want to lose
all the investment that's being made in our country I don't want to lose a
million jobs you know Donald Trump is refusing to believe the truth right he's
refusing to believe the truth and he keeps saying you know he doesn't want to
do anything like any kind of sanctions to hardcore with Saudi Arabia because
their investments in the United States they buy so much in military weapons
they give us so much money they help us create more jobs and all that and like I
want you to think about I want you to think about Mike have you ever been
trapped in a relationship where your partner or it could have even been a
friend they were clearly abusive like
emotionally or mentally but you didn't want to leave because you would have
lost something and especially like Monica monetary things or either things
that you can like hold you know is that the love and support you you're gonna
miss you're gonna miss the house so you're gonna miss the clothes you're
gonna miss the the TV or the car or whatever it is like have you ever been
afraid to leave a relationship because of these financial things that you might
lose like how many people are stuck in an abusive relationships sometimes it
even a physically abusive relationship won't leave because how am I gonna pay
my bills where am I going to live right so their priority you know is you know
obviously like food and shelter and things like those need to be a top
priority because we need that stuff to survive but the fear keeps us in a bad
situation like here's something that you all gotta understand about humans and I
talk a lot about anxiety and evolutionary psychology and all that we
are survivors okay as a species we are built we have
evolved to survive you put humans in a corner we are going to survive
that's what we're gonna do like afraid of no Independence Day scenario
happening in aliens coming to Earth we will figure some stuff out
so like this is why like you know some of us have to look at the relationships
that we're in so when it comes to this like basically with some of the new
stories that have been coming out yeah like there's the new story that Saudi
Arabia is giving us is that Khashoggi who's like a 50-something year-old man
went into the you know the consulate and he like started a brawl with like these
like trained assassin people and it just got a little heavy who in their right
mind would believe that and then there's also reason to believe that the prince
knew all about this as well right but Donald Trump is denying this he's the
nine to see it he has this this these rose-colored glasses on to pretend like
there's no way this can happen but on Saturday in an interview with The
Washington Post we saw him seemingly criticized Saudi Arabia's saying
obviously there's been deception and there's been lies their stories are all
over the place like have you ever been loyal to a fault because of these things
like you neglect the bad things that people are doing I don't know why this
came to mind already of you Breaking Bad fans if you are like this video but like
for example when Walter White's wife found out about what he was really doing
you know she just got pulled into it you know what I mean
and like how often do we do that like I you know working in the drug and alcohol
addiction treatment field for a few years I see countless times where a
woman is pulled back into you know the drug game because her man is a dealer
I've seen the same thing where guys are pulled back into the drug game because
their girl is a dealer right so like we're afraid to lose these things and a
lot of it has to do with our money you know or we're not gonna have the things
and all that like I always try to tell you to like check in with your value
system check in with your value system like what is what is more important to
you like your mental and emotional well-being or stuff right like when I
figured out a long long time ago that stuff wasn't nearly as important as my
mental health my life got so much better I can't tell you okay you know what
screw it I got time I'm gonna tell you I was working at a job where I was making
six figures plus right in the automotive industry I hated it I hated this so much
it was stressful it was killing me it's when my alcoholism spiraled out of
control I would come home every day miserable and drink my palms away but I
couldn't leave that job because it paid me so well right well now I make less
than half of what I used to make and I am the happiest dude you will ever meet
okay so we have to overcome these fears we have to get out of these toxic
relationships we have to believe in ourselves we have to believe in our
support group like if you are stuck in a toxic relationship right now and you're
worried about like well I can't leave him or I can't leave her because they
pay my bills screw it go go on you know go get some
food stamps until you can get a job and get on your feet right oh I can't leave
that because I use their car okay we'll get a bus pass
you know like I'm sorry like I can't appreciate truth to you like there's
nothing worse than staying in a toxic relationship just because this person is
providing these things because they will take advantage of that right and like
some of you that's your friends like I've had friends in the past where they
were just complete complete a-holes but I kept hanging around with him I kept
going out with him why because they bought us drinks or they would buy me
dinner or they would like take me to concerts or you know whatever all these
other things but this is why I try to empower all of you to develop this
internal locus of control I don't need anybody now I don't need because I am
fully self-supporting right so like this is balance that we have to find between
you know asking for help and not relying on people at the same time so like when
I need help like I don't expect anything so that's a
whole balancing act with your expectations and I hope that's making
sense and if you have questions make sure you leave them down in the comments
below but I hope this is all making sense because you might be in a toxic
relationship with a boyfriend a girlfriend a husband a wife maybe you're
in a positive relationship with your parents oh let's talk about parents real
quick a lot of you are some of my younger audience and I've seen this in
the comments below you are living living with your mom or your dad who
verbally abuses you on a day-to-day basis but you're worried about not
having a house where you're living rent-free you see what I mean like think
about this give-and-take that we give like go move into a studio apartment go
find some friends like bunk up have two three people in a bedroom I don't care
like the verbal abuse and emotional abuse is not worth it it's never worth
it so am I like you know to wrap this up
like in the situation with Saudi Arabia yeah yeah
if we cut ties with them yeah we wouldn't have as much money coming in if
we cut ties with them yeah we'd probably lose some jobs but when that happens it
opens up the opportunity to create new relationships with other people create
different jobs you see what I'm saying so like I don't know like I just really
hope that you guys really start trying to see what I'm trying to do with my
channel I want you to look at everything everything and rather than looking at
the differences look at the similarities right it's really easy for us to sit
back and watch the news and say huh that has nothing to do with me like if we can
start to train our brains to see the similarities between us and other people
between us and other news stories and situations you know like if we could
train ourselves to do that we can constantly learn constantly grow and
improve our mental and emotional well-being and man I'm on fire today
this wasn't even the other video I had planned but I was just watching
I was watching Philip DeFranco and I'm like you know what I gotta make another
video so that's exactly what I did oh so anyways let's do this down in the
coast blush let me know your experience like have you stayed in a relationship
way too long where you were you know in a toxic relationship but you stayed in
it because they were providing you with things whether it was you know a house
or a car or taking you out or whatever it is like let me know and let me know
down in the comments if you're still struggling with it because if you are by
the way go check out some of my videos on setting up boundaries alright anyways
