Okay. So I think it's normal if you're young, that you feel like a loser.

Yeah. I think this is the peak. And so I would not kill yourselves. It's very important. Just, get through it, you know? But because you have nothing, you have probably no money, you have no business, you have no job. Like Jeremy Peterson said this, I saw it somewhere. Like the reason people are depressed because they have nothing.

They don't have a girlfriend, they don't have a boyfriend, they don't have... You need stuff, you need like a family, you need things around you, you need to build a life for yourself. If you don't build a life for yourself, you'll be depressed.

So if you're alone in Asia, in a hostel, looking at the ceiling and you don't have any money coming in, you don't have a girlfriend, you don't... Of course you're depressed. It's logic. But back then, if you're in the moment, you think there's not logic, there's something wrong with me, you know?

And also, I think I started going... I started getting like anxiety and I think I started going a little bit crazy where... I think travel can make you insane. And I know this because I know that there's like digital nomads that they kill themselves. And I haven't checked like the comparison with like baseline people.

But I have a hunch, especially in the beginning when it was a very new thing, like 10 years ago, that it can be very psychologically taxing. Yeah. You're alone a lot. Back then when you travel alone, there was no other digital nomads back then a lot. So you're in a strange culture. You look different than everybody. Like you're in, I was in Asia.

Like everybody's really nice in Thailand, but you're not part of the culture. You're traveling around. You're hopping from city to city. You don't have a home anymore. you feel disrooted.

Yes, exactly. But people treat you like Thailand. People are so nice, but you still feel like outcast. And, and then I think that the digital nomads I met then were all kind of like, it was like shady business, you know, but they were like vigilantes because it was a new thing. And like one guy was selling illegal drugs.
