  • @LeftyHandedGuns Huh? People still go to Oxbridge and other great universities. People still read, debate and learn. MORE people do than ever before. So why will this disappear? What are you basing this 'fact' on? What exactly are you seeing that makes you sadder and sadder?

    Because you're disillusioned with the people around you? If it's that, well, welcome to the world. MOST people are not a Fry, and never have been. That doesn't mean that millions don't exist and millions more aren't coming.

  • @LeftyHandedGuns Oh fuck off you twat.

  • He is right. This is why the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche are so important.

  • @dsquaredproductions you really know nothing about stephen fry do you?

  • @AxelQC somebody thats been to hell and back. he's not telling people how to feel, he's advising people how not to feel because its all a slippery slope.

  • @preemptivestrike20 yes and he recovered from a major depression. i think that speaks for itself.

  • I like Fry, but I take his psychological advice with a grain of salt. He is someone who tried to kill himself after all. .

  • I don't understand this or self pity, what if you ARE under-appreciated or you ARE hard done by? It makes you miserable but is that self pity? I don't get it ... Fuck this I'm going to build some doom robots, I'll show them, I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!

  • this is the best advice I've EVER been given!

  • @210482fmj All languages have words and expressions for negative things, because (surprise) all humans everywhere unavoidably experience negative things.

  • A very wise thing to say, I went through a period of self pity and I can tell you what he's saying is true, my relationship was destoryed my education was damaged and I was out of work for months so my finances suffered too. I've managed to get my life back on track in a short space of time but one thing I'll never get back and can't get back is my girlfriend of 3-4 years. It's not your fault if you have depression but if you do nothing about it and wallow in your own sadness, that is your fault

  • yeah i'm right there with you

    i od on selp pity all the time
