In a world where there are stigmas around men's mental health, and more anxiety, loneliness, insecurity, depression, self-harm, uncertainty, self-doubt, and suicidal tendencies than ever before, I choose to be vulnerable as an ordinary person and show you my imperfect world and life. My name is Amr, and on this stream of consciousness podcast, I explore my deepest thoughts, ideas, and experiences with you as I grow (bloom) as a person.

A discussion about the denial of death, how we misinterpret death, and the beautiful life lessons/attitudes we can learn using death as a motivator to amplify our experiences while we’re still alive. This video is not a promotion of suicide or violence towards others, it’s very much the opposite :D also thank you for 3 years of support 🌸💜If you’re feeling suicidal, the best thing you can do is have a conversation about it with a supportive person. Talking and getting those harmful thoughts out of your head is possible and so important, here are some useful resources you can use: - International Suicide Hotlines: https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/- Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255My info: https://linktr.ee/thebloomerspodcastMy other videos on death:- https://youtu.be/f6tfxsiPWoQ- https://youtu.be/TUHqzFjE4TE🌸TIMESTAMPS🌸0:00 intro1:50 understanding the criticism3:44 why we don’t talk about death 5:19 the funeral exercise 8:37 our denial of death9:24 you should look forward to an end of life11:54 why death is such a GOOD thing17:08 the worst part about death18:27 the purpose of life: preparation for death20:54 witnessing death22:38 empathy and death24:00 religion26:37 outrorecorded on august 8th 2024
It’s June which means it’s men’s mental health month, SO this episode is about toxic masculinity and how it ties into men’s mental health🧠I always heard the phrase, but i didn’t actually know what toxic masculinity was until i started preparing for this video LOL but it’s pretty interesting and if you’re a man you can probably testify to toxic masculinity’s existence and how the narratives it pushes are problematic.

Finding a life partner and creating a loving relationship is something that most of us desire, but also struggle to achieve. As someone in their early 20s I can tell you right now this is very much the case for me and definitely been something affecting my mental health for the last year😂 So here is me voicing my frustrations and concerns about finding a relationship partner and how dating has become something people take way too lightly, when it should be something endeavoured by two mature people who can be serious and straightforward but also eventually be goofy and loving with each other.BTW talking about this was not easy. These topics are unfortunately very misunderstood and taboo in south asian culture, and people can be very weird. I talk about this at the 0:50 mark.

What does it mean to be masculine or feminine? Why does this matter? I identify as a man/male, but does that mean I have to behave a certain way? What do I do that's masculine? Why can't we abandon gender roles?To me, gender/masculinity/femininity is a really simplified and pretty meaningless way of looking at others in life. At the end of the day, we're just people and MUCH more than just being a man or woman.

I'm not too fond of social media. It diverts our attention from more important things, controls our thoughts, increases anxiety, takes away from real-life experiences, and slows us down from achieving our goals when we overindulge.

I returned from Pakistan last week and decided to make a video covering my thoughts on things I love and don't like about Pakistan. This was a "kids" trip of just me and my sister so it had a very different feel from the normal vacation to Pakistan. I won't be looking at Pakistani society through an Islamic lens, because for the most part this has more to do with Pakistani culture. aaaand this can be considered a controversial topic for many but I hope you can appreciate a different point of view if you disagree with anything I say. Thank you!
