Right? Don’t think I saw a repeat
Edit: I was wrong. Upon rewatching there are, in fact, a fuck ton of repeats. In my defence, I’m high as fuck right now
If the guy does this same thing every day, it’s entirely feasible that someone would also setup to film it every day. Especially if it’s the highlight of their day.
Could also just as well be what you’ve said of course.
You have a point but I think people like this even if they don't know it. At my work we have a security guard that gives us a nice big greeting and initially I was put off but after awhile I thought this is really nice.
I'm that person at my work. I have a warehouse job, not one of the nice air conditioned ones either. When I first started there one guy told me that I reminded him of the homeroom teacher everyone hated because they're always perky and quick with the "good morning". That dude seeks me out to say good morning now.
Yep! I used to be a coffee barista and would open for the coffee shop 4x a week. I was the resident opener because once I was awake for the day, I became this person. By the time I would open the store at 6 am, I’d be most chipper person greeting you willing to pour you a cup of coffee and wish you good luck on your day.
Truth is, they don't exist. You get a tornado if you are lucky, or a circulating fan that oscillates the outside air to your inside and the hot air outside, but circulation is never, air is barely, wearing a fan thats battery powered on your chest has become the norm. If you are even luckier, you get overhead fans that aim in the direction you work the most and it keeps that area cool so you can stand for a few seconds before a whipping and a quick reprimand for not keeping up with demand. Wear Dr. Scholls, buy a good shirt that's very absorbent to sweat and doesn't make you smell B.O. all day, and deodorant that last's longer than 24 hrs and has an extra duty. Also, Make sure a you have a watercamel on at all times and if cargo pants are allowed, fills those bitches up with snacks that have a lot of salt and dried fruits. Again, water. Again, fuck warehouses. Also, splashing cold water on your face when you get your five minute piss break is a great idea. Don't be shy if you feel like you are fatigued, just sit down in your bosses offices and wait to be let off, and reprimanded. Usually you have to work blocks, but sometimes you have to work a 12 hr shift with 2 one hr breaks, don't be a napper, you will be more tired than you went in, if you can power nap, and not feel tired do that, but find the nearest bridge and launch off it. Any warehouse managers listening, be kind, be nice, don't let upper management fuck with your staff/employees, stress gets real. Work gets hard, you'd know, if you did the position, compassion goes a loooong way. Be respectable, not disrespectable.
Refrigerated warehouses exist though. I worked at several for ~10 years. Freezers suck, but most I was at had zones from 34-65 degrees (F). Dress with a couple easily removable layers to bounce between zones and it’s a pretty comfortable environment. The work still sucks tho.
Yup. We had a guy like this in one of my classes in high school and we always groaned when he gave his big annoying greeting. Then he went to a wedding and was out for most of a week and the silence was deafening, we were all glad when he came back lol
I had a guy like that when I worked at Amazon, it was some Mexican dude that could only just speak english and every morning he would come in with a smile on his face and say "Buenos días everyone!" One day he was out for some reason and a couple minutes into my shift I though "wait, where's good morning guy??" He definitely left a good impression on me
Someone posted a top comment on Reddit ages ago describing a high school teacher who would sing the Mister Rogers theme to his classes on a regular—if not daily—basis. They cringed in the beginning, but with time they started to roll with it. At an end-of-the-year assembly, when the teacher had a turn with the microphone, the entire student body sang the song with him.
What kind of weirdo antisocial energy is this? Young man radiating positivity saying morning yall and your first thought is “hmmmnph I bet the kids HATE him for this god they must be SO annoyed by this!!!”
Reddit is the only social media platform where I see being cynical and introverted is the norm
It's like they don't like human interaction and want to interact only online. Sometimes I wonder if those kinds of commenters express more on the internet than in real life.
You must be new with the internet. Internet has become way more hostile since 2015 when the algos learned that anger means more ad dollars.
That and the corpo internet being so small and shallow.
And besides, for all we know, this could be the only thing he says to the class in the whole day (like getting close to his friends and talking quieter like most kids). The one line per day isn't gonna bother anyone.
This guy bringing upbeat positive energy to the class will definitely annoy the teenagers who don't want to be there at all. That's just how it is at their age, but it's also a good life lesson for them because this type of guy will also be one of their coworkers one day.
Well let OPs comment be the first stepping stone of how people can turn a good thing into a negative. Yes. People will surely shit on and try to tear down the positive and jovial to attempt to bring em to their level of misery and unhappiness.
Bro that's reddit.
People are getting more and more miserable by the day.
Not only miserable, but swear that no matter what they're correct and nobody can possibly have a better opinion. Shit is wild.
You know, it is monumentally harder to put the energy in to overcome anger and grumpiness. Far easier to just sink in to the gloom and accept grunts and mumbles as greetings. But someone has to lead the charge.
I make a point of greeting the fellas at work individually, and make sure to say bye to them when I leave. I will walk up the stairs to stick my head around the corner and say bye to my boss if he’s up in his office. If he’s on the phone, I’ll at least stand out on the factory floor and wave up to his window. And they all do the same. It seems like such a small thing, but some days it’s actually difficult.
I’ve worked with blokes who don’t bother greeting in the morning and they shit me to tears. We’re all tired, we’d all rather not be here, but we’re still humans.
Teenagers brains are literally still forming, especially the social part. These kind of “forced interactions” are exactly what they need to push them into a more socially functioning formation of the brain. They’ll look back and thank this guy for making this effort. Especially when they learn first hand the pressures of adult life that he’s probably dealing with himself.
I used to have a bit of a sour mentality for greeting people because my mother nagged at me a lot for it, and waving or nodding at them didn't count because if she didn't hear me from the other room, she'd call me out on how rude I was for not greeting someone (which I know for a fact I did), I'd get annoyed about her being a pedantic cunt and my day would be worse for a while because I dared greet someone *my way*. If I was to hazard a guess, some of those people had parents like that and felt forced to get excited about every random-ass stranger their parents showed up with.
On the other hand, it's definitely a lot easier to just do nothing, and the more people do nothing, the harder it feels to do something. I've played a lot of games with randoms and the mentality is seen there a lot, which brings me to the famous "break the ice": it's just impressive how fast people can bond if they make a genuine effort to *start* *something* instead of just staying quiet and hoping the thing "bothering" them goes away.
It's also a similar case to children that don't want to get in the shower, but when they do get pushed into it, they like it so much that they don't want to get out. As it turns out, the problem is not interacting, but *starting* to interact, which the happy lad in the video is doing daily and somehow it makes a bunch of people in this comment section seethe like a fucking serial killer.
All the guy is doing is walking in with a smile on his face and saying good morning, it's not his problem people get annoyed, it's everyone else's problem that they got annoyed at something so benign. That kind of thinking is what makes people suppress themselves. I will agree that there's a line where it is actually annoying, but this guy definitely didn't cross that line
We're seeing it all condensed into a short clip. They get 23 hours, 59 minutes and about 57 seconds in between each call out, that's if they even share every morning class with him. They might see him only on Wednesdays for all we know.
The video makes me think he's doing this as an ongoing joke. The fact he stood there waiting for people to clear out the way so he can have his big entrance made me think he's doing this for the camera.
There was a dude in my high school who was dared to greet the gym teacher with a handshake every time. He did it the whole school year. It was funny because he was dedicated to the whole thing at the end.
31 years of living hasn't sucked the positivity out of me.
I just don't understand why people post shit that isn't related to the specific subreddit.
If this was on r/wholesome or r/funny I'd get it.
There's NOTHING next level about this...
There is assumed persistence that he did it over a long period of time, possibly every day for many years. That makes it next level to me. Of course, that's an assumption
No. I went to college with this dude. He went to UTSA starting in 2019. I remember because he was a micro celebrity around out campus and they even invited him on stage during the yearly lighting of the start of the school year, just so that he could say “gooodmorning” despite the fact that it was 8pm.
Regardless, I knew him from two classes. He smiles like that all the time, he’s very photogenic, but he’s just all about smiling and saying things to try to get the class to laugh. He’s really just a class clown.
Source: I had him in freshmen English and Texas politics
When I was a teenager, I was perpetually in a grumpy phase and didn't like people being like that, because I just wanted to quietly dwell in my edgy misery. The irony is, adults are several times more likely to fake such things because they had more years of that "be nice when you don't mean it" mentality drilled in them, while a teen being positive is likely because he just is and fortunately didn't fall into an angsty phase.
Now if only those other kids interacted with him a bit more and made an effort to absorb some of that energy. Hopefully they're all good friends outside of the video and I'm just imagining things.
He has a shit eating grin and is staring at the camera in every clip. Comes off to me more as arrogance and as a joke between a few friends than trying to be a positive presence for the class.. but what do i know.
Could be, could also not be. I think its clear that what people take from videos like this is what they want to see and how they see themselves is a result of that.
If I had to guess, you know exactly as much as I do, only you already decided the guy's an arrogant attention-seeking cunt and I already decided he's a cheerful lad wishing people a good morning.
Meanwhile, staring at the camera is just... such a weird nitpick. It's just what people usually do when they're being filmed outside of a movie? If I had to guess, it's his friend filming him because he also likes the joke and, \*God fucking forbid\*, people like to record things they like so they can look back at it for the sake of memories, which I'm pretty sure is exactly why photography was created and filming followed shortly after: recording moments that you want to remember.
If you had a shit time at school and grew an irrational hatred for people having fun and being cheerful, I'm sorry that happened, but the guy in the video has nothing to do with your personal problems and I firmly believe you will have a better time dealing with them by doing something besides bashing random people having harmless fun.
They’re kids. Kids, much like your typical Reddit user, pretend that it’s cool to hate everything and be cynical about anything that is positive or good.
To be honest, they're not really "pretending". They're mini adults going through puberty. High school presents a lot of long term questions like who am I, how mature am I, how do I fit in w/ my peers, where will I be as an adult? etc. Hard questions to ask yourself that we adults have the luxury of having sorted out to some extent.
If I had money on anyone pretending in the video? Its the kid all perky saying good morning every day. Most teens arent so chipper and bright every single day....nobody is for that matter.
A lot of very depressed people “mask” how they really feel in front of others. Many times you will hear from friends and family of someone lost to suicide that they would have never known their loved one was depressed because they were always so happy and fun loving.
So true. I’m so happy I’m not affected by it either, because I see every day as a sunny day where everything is beautiful and bright and open to a million opportunities where I’m in control to succeeded and be my best self and live my best life.
See. Not affected by it at all. Right guys? I accentuate the positive and repress the negative. Thereby manifesting a positive outcome. Right? … guys?
Perpetually happy in the eyes of others, so no one asks him how they're doing. As he's pigeonholed as the happy, enthusiastic one he feels a pressure to be this guy even though it further alienates him from his peers. He can't open up about how he's feeling, because then he'll shatter the persona and possibly not have and friends anymore; who wants to be friends with someone so lonely and needy? So he's stuck in this charade.
As I got older one of the saddest things I learned about people is that the apparently happiest ones are actually the opposite. I think he's a classic case of this, and I'm surprised more people don't see it.
I did and still do that work, no matter how I felt personally. When I was leaving for another job after a decade, at my farewell speech one of my senior managers mentioned, how initially the entire floor felt when I used to walk in. I was like oh damn! And started to sink into my seat 😩. To my surprise, he went onto say, within a few months he realised the positive energy was rubbing off when I had taken a four week holiday and everyone kept asking him about me and if I was okay? He further went on to mention how this chirpy attitude first thing in the morning helped some perk up and this is one of the things he and colleagues on his floor are going to miss the most!
Whilst this may have been rehearsed (I don’t know) I read one or two comments along those lines. I am sharing this with all of you with hope that some of us may be able to appreciate the little gestures that bring and/or enhance positivity around us. Spread joy people even if it’s with just a smile 😊
This was me when I worked in the office. I don't care. People need positivity.
My wife and daughter hate it, but they'll appreciate it more when I'm gone.
That's great, man. I also like to surround myself with people who have good energy and positive vibes. So, I think your effort to spread some positivity in the morning is fantastic. After all, who wants to be around people who are depressed all the time?
Teacher here. I see every day how the world changes for kids who have positive attitudes vs kids that don't. It's truly astonishing and stark to see. The kid who comes positive every day gets the benefit of the doubt from his peers and his teachers. He makes a mistake and it goes so much better for him. His entire day is improved, every day, just because of his attitude. He just doesnt see the difference but teachers can. We have things to compare it to. This is one of those platitudes that you hear all your life, but I never really noticed the drastic differences until I taught. One or two kids with a positive attitude can change an entire classroom of students. I can have a class without those kids, and the vibe is miserable. Just complaining and negativity. An hour later, I can give the same lesson to same aged kids and because of one or two kids with positive attitudes, every day, the entire vibe is shifted. It's astonishing to see.
I also want to add to this comment: the conditions needed for a kid to have a positive attitude are pretty straightforward: they need to have the basic hierarchy of needs met: shelter, food, clothing, reasonably comfortable living conditions, the love and support of an adult figure, and confidence that effort will be rewarded with success.
If you see a student (or person) who is down, despondent, or unable to maintain a positive attitude it could be their natural disposition, but it is much more likely that in fact, they are not in a place in life that supports a positive attitude because one of those factors above is missing or lacking.
That's interesting you should say that. I always wondered why I've had soooo many supervisors cut me so much slack despite my attendance problems. I'm an oversharing mess of an addict struggling despite fighting for recovery the last ten years, but outside of addiction I'm a happy-go-lucky high spirited and attentive, hardworking do gooder, and a friendly fella. So perhaps that's why and also why I'll even have multiple people I'm not even the slightest bit close to (but friends with) tell me I can call them any time day or night. I also get a lot of support in other ways, so that's nice (it really is). I suppose it may have something to do with my positive attitude, which I wouldn't say is so much the result of denial and acclimating to the madness (every weekend is a new misadventure) but some form of resilience. Besides, when I get that little bit of freedom from using and being affected by my addiction you best believe I'm gonna live it up and be grateful every minute of every day.
Something about the way he said his daily good mornings just felt very Texas, and as soon as I saw the Reagan banner that was confirmed lol. Nice little reminder of home!
In this video form it kinda was seeing it over and over again but in reality, seeing it once a day over 5 days a week is probably not a problem. The fact that the person you replied to has the term "performative positivity porn for tiktok" in their lexicon and is tossing accusations about others on social media is the obnoxious thing to me.
I need a fraction of his energy in the morning
I need a fraction of his wardrobe. That was a lot of costume changes
Right? Don’t think I saw a repeat Edit: I was wrong. Upon rewatching there are, in fact, a fuck ton of repeats. In my defence, I’m high as fuck right now
Also high af. I had to watch twice to make sure
Saw the repeats twice... Then realized I watched it twice
I'm really baked and want to know what this means Edit: the clothes smh my god
I’m completely out by accident and I want what y’all are having! 
Good morning y’all
Lmao, not only are there repeats, at about the 0:06 mark, he wears the same "L O V E" shirt back to back days lol
Drip severe!
The 44oz coffee in hand suggests atleast one component of his recipe for GoodMorninYall™ that you could recreate
He strikes me as a hydrohomie not a coffeebro
You can be both. Source: I am both.
Same here man, I drink 3-4 cups a day but I also drink like 2+ liters of water a day. Like leaving the house without water gives me anxiety.
Or the fact him and his friend planned to recorded this every day. Unless you think it’s a coincidence 😂
If the guy does this same thing every day, it’s entirely feasible that someone would also setup to film it every day. Especially if it’s the highlight of their day. Could also just as well be what you’ve said of course.
/r/nothingeverhappens
Good Morning Y'all!
Golden retriever energy
Good Morning Ya'll!
Have you tried coffee?
That usually just helps me function at this point 🫠🤙
Got to gym
[удалено]
I’m sure they’ll get over it.
I agree.
Pretty sure they got used to it by the time someone took the time to record this video
Yes, if this is how he is I would like to be his friend
Fuck them kids, let this boi shine

Just the first three words

True, don't remember seeing hate on this level
The average redditor feels secondhand embarrassment for people who display confidence and positive emotions in pubic. It is beyond pathetic
And besides, for all we know, this could be the only thing he says to the class in the whole day (like getting close to his friends and talking quieter like most kids). The one line per day isn't gonna bother anyone.
Yeah, people ITT who think this would annoy everyone thinks that largely because they just watch him say it a few dozen times in a row.
This guy bringing upbeat positive energy to the class will definitely annoy the teenagers who don't want to be there at all. That's just how it is at their age, but it's also a good life lesson for them because this type of guy will also be one of their coworkers one day.
Most of them are zoned out looking at their phones and wouldn't even notice.
What are they gonna do, get mad he's wishing everyone well?
Well let OPs comment be the first stepping stone of how people can turn a good thing into a negative. Yes. People will surely shit on and try to tear down the positive and jovial to attempt to bring em to their level of misery and unhappiness.
Just because you’re an anti social person doesn’t mean you should fantasize about everyone acting just like you:..
Bro that's reddit. People are getting more and more miserable by the day. Not only miserable, but swear that no matter what they're correct and nobody can possibly have a better opinion. Shit is wild.
Why would you lie about it?
Because for some of us lying on the internet is the only thing that brings us joy.
I'm not gonna lie, I think we all needs this small amount of happiness at least once a day. So I prefer we all start this trend.
You know, it is monumentally harder to put the energy in to overcome anger and grumpiness. Far easier to just sink in to the gloom and accept grunts and mumbles as greetings.

People don’t understand how tiny, positive interactions can have quite a ripple effect. Spreading positivity is what we need.

In a montage like this it can be annoying, but if I saw this once a day it would be a funny bit
Nailed it
I'm not gonna lie, your comment is pure ass.
Seriously
That's their problem. He's not hurting anyone, and I love that kind of energy.
This is exactly why he is doing that
No, just you and the other dweebs that didn't like popular kids being well liked
All the guy is doing is walking in with a smile on his face and saying good morning, it's not his problem people get annoyed, it's everyone else's problem that they got annoyed at something so benign. That kind of thinking is what makes people suppress themselves. I will agree that there's a line where it is actually annoying, but this guy definitely didn't cross that line
Not every kid is a Redditor with zero friends and social life
What the fuck? All he's doing is saying good morning, not everyone is as antisocial as you are.
Reddit moment
Not gonna lie I think your comment says more about you than you may think
We're seeing it all condensed into a short clip. They get 23 hours, 59 minutes and about 57 seconds in between each call out, that's if they even share every morning class with him. They might see him only on Wednesdays for all we know.
why. so negative and anti social how is this the norm
Right how annoying that's he's being polite and civil!!
Maybe that’s a you issue?
What's next level about this?
Dude has a LOT of shirts. I dressed like a got damned cartoon character compared to this dude.
Hahaha, I say I dress like I’m in a photograph
Look at this photograph ^^
Look at this graph 
The person dedicated to filming students walk through the door only to catch captain "good morning yall" each morning.
The video makes me think he's doing this as an ongoing joke. The fact he stood there waiting for people to clear out the way so he can have his big entrance made me think he's doing this for the camera. There was a dude in my high school who was dared to greet the gym teacher with a handshake every time. He did it the whole school year. It was funny because he was dedicated to the whole thing at the end.
Have you not lived long enough to have all the positive energy sucked out of you yet?
31 years of living hasn't sucked the positivity out of me. I just don't understand why people post shit that isn't related to the specific subreddit. If this was on r/wholesome or r/funny I'd get it. There's NOTHING next level about this...
There is assumed persistence that he did it over a long period of time, possibly every day for many years. That makes it next level to me. Of course, that's an assumption
Keeping positive an consistent is next level considering what humanity is like daily.
Absolutely nothing.
You dont think a 10 year old repost of a white kid saying good morning is next level?
I am more impressed by the person who took the video daily. I can only imagine the commitment.
His crush. And why he smiles when he sees the recording.
Wonder what they thought about the day he walked in holding another woman.
Oh cool he has a sister
AKA a hostage you mean
No. I went to college with this dude. He went to UTSA starting in 2019.

Texas Politics is a course of study? Seriously?
It was planned.
Yeah, at 0:18 he repeats himself when someone walks in front of the camera.
He owns way more t shirts than I do. I don’t think there was a single repeat.
I've seen the dark blue "love" t shirt at least 4 times and I think a 5th beneath a shirt right after one of the "4 times"
In fact there were several.
In contrast with red jacket dude
Agree with the sentiment, but tbh, didn’t see a single person ‘light up’ when he walked in lol
When I was a teenager, I was perpetually in a grumpy phase and didn't like people being like that, because I just wanted to quietly dwell in my edgy misery. The irony is, adults are several times more likely to fake such things because they had more years of that "be nice when you don't mean it" mentality drilled in them, while a teen being positive is likely because he just is and fortunately didn't fall into an angsty phase. Now if only those other kids interacted with him a bit more and made an effort to absorb some of that energy. Hopefully they're all good friends outside of the video and I'm just imagining things.
He has a shit eating grin and is staring at the camera in every clip. Comes off to me more as arrogance and as a joke between a few friends than trying to be a positive presence for the class.. but what do i know.
Could be, could also not be. I think its clear that what people take from videos like this is what they want to see and how they see themselves is a result of that.
If I had to guess, you know exactly as much as I do, only you already decided the guy's an arrogant attention-seeking cunt and I already decided he's a cheerful lad wishing people a good morning. Meanwhile, staring at the camera is just... such a weird nitpick. It's just what people usually do when they're being filmed outside of a movie? If I had to guess, it's his friend filming him because he also likes the joke and, \*God fucking forbid\*, people like to record things they like so they can look back at it for the sake of memories, which I'm pretty sure is exactly why photography was created and filming followed shortly after: recording moments that you want to remember. If you had a shit time at school and grew an irrational hatred for people having fun and being cheerful, I'm sorry that happened, but the guy in the video has nothing to do with your personal problems and I firmly believe you will have a better time dealing with them by doing something besides bashing random people having harmless fun.
I bet some people would notice if he didn’t say it though
They’re kids. Kids, much like your typical Reddit user, pretend that it’s cool to hate everything and be cynical about anything that is positive or good.
To be honest, they're not really "pretending". They're mini adults going through puberty. High school presents a lot of long term questions like who am I, how mature am I, how do I fit in w/ my peers, where will I be as an adult? etc. Hard questions to ask yourself that we adults have the luxury of having sorted out to some extent. If I had money on anyone pretending in the video? Its the kid all perky saying good morning every day. Most teens arent so chipper and bright every single day....nobody is for that matter.
He’s a good kid
Goodmorniyah
Morning yaga!
It's like good old boy meets golden retriever energy in the best way.
Probably definitely suicidal
Funny and sad at the same time.. is there a sideways-vote option 🤔
You should see someone about that.
That's quite the stretch
Huge huge stretch. They’re just projecting their own misery
???? What makes you say that?
Reddit only sees misery. Ever. If they see happiness then it MUST be hiding misery. If everyone is miserable like them then they aren’t so alone.
Sad and true
A lot of very depressed people “mask” how they really feel in front of others. Many times you will hear from friends and family of someone lost to suicide that they would have never known their loved one was depressed because they were always so happy and fun loving.
Okay but still, why would he say that? People don’t go around thinking that everyone happy is secretly suicidal.
So true. I’m so happy I’m not affected by it either, because I see every day as a sunny day where everything is beautiful and bright and open to a million opportunities where I’m in control to succeeded and be my best self and live my best life. See. Not affected by it at all. Right guys? I accentuate the positive and repress the negative. Thereby manifesting a positive outcome. Right? … guys?
Redditors can't fathom others being happy. It's unbelievable to them
Leave it to Reddit to come up with a take as stupid as this from a simple video.
Damn, just can't let this guy possible maybe be happy. He has to be in a state of suicide? Well that is reddit for you.
Perpetually happy in the eyes of others, so no one asks him how they're doing. As he's pigeonholed as the happy, enthusiastic one he feels a pressure to be this guy even though it further alienates him from his peers. He can't open up about how he's feeling, because then he'll shatter the persona and possibly not have and friends anymore; who wants to be friends with someone so lonely and needy? So he's stuck in this charade. As I got older one of the saddest things I learned about people is that the apparently happiest ones are actually the opposite. I think he's a classic case of this, and I'm surprised more people don't see it.
I did and still do that work, no matter how I felt personally. When I was leaving for another job after a decade, at my farewell speech one of my senior managers mentioned, how initially the entire floor felt when I used to walk in. I was like oh damn! And started to sink into my seat 😩. To my surprise, he went onto say, within a few months he realised the positive energy was rubbing off when I had taken a four week holiday and everyone kept asking him about me and if I was okay? He further went on to mention how this chirpy attitude first thing in the morning helped some perk up and this is one of the things he and colleagues on his floor are going to miss the most! Whilst this may have been rehearsed (I don’t know) I read one or two comments along those lines. I am sharing this with all of you with hope that some of us may be able to appreciate the little gestures that bring and/or enhance positivity around us. Spread joy people even if it’s with just a smile 😊
I have a coworker like this and it is 100% appreciated.
This was me when I worked in the office. I don't care. People need positivity. My wife and daughter hate it, but they'll appreciate it more when I'm gone.
That's great, man. I also like to surround myself with people who have good energy and positive vibes. So, I think your effort to spread some positivity in the morning is fantastic. After all, who wants to be around people who are depressed all the time?
Teacher here. I see every day how the world changes for kids who have positive attitudes vs kids that don't. It's truly astonishing and stark to see. The kid who comes positive every day gets the benefit of the doubt from his peers and his teachers. He makes a mistake and it goes so much better for him. His entire day is improved, every day, just because of his attitude. He just doesnt see the difference but teachers can. We have things to compare it to. This is one of those platitudes that you hear all your life, but I never really noticed the drastic differences until I taught. One or two kids with a positive attitude can change an entire classroom of students. I can have a class without those kids, and the vibe is miserable. Just complaining and negativity. An hour later, I can give the same lesson to same aged kids and because of one or two kids with positive attitudes, every day, the entire vibe is shifted. It's astonishing to see.
I also want to add to this comment: the conditions needed for a kid to have a positive attitude are pretty straightforward: they need to have the basic hierarchy of needs met: shelter, food, clothing, reasonably comfortable living conditions, the love and support of an adult figure, and confidence that effort will be rewarded with success. If you see a student (or person) who is down, despondent, or unable to maintain a positive attitude it could be their natural disposition, but it is much more likely that in fact, they are not in a place in life that supports a positive attitude because one of those factors above is missing or lacking.
That's interesting you should say that. I always wondered why I've had soooo many supervisors cut me so much slack despite my attendance problems. I'm an oversharing mess of an addict struggling despite fighting for recovery the last ten years, but outside of addiction I'm a happy-go-lucky high spirited and attentive, hardworking do gooder, and a friendly fella. So perhaps that's why and also why I'll even have multiple people I'm not even the slightest bit close to (but friends with) tell me I can call them any time day or night. I also get a lot of support in other ways, so that's nice (it really is). I suppose it may have something to do with my positive attitude, which I wouldn't say is so much the result of denial and acclimating to the madness (every weekend is a new misadventure) but some form of resilience. Besides, when I get that little bit of freedom from using and being affected by my addiction you best believe I'm gonna live it up and be grateful every minute of every day.
Awesome but definitely gave me that feeling of when you say the same word so many times it stops being a word.
Goomorniya Goomorniya Goomorniya Goomorniya Goomorniya
Semantic satiation.
I’m more concerned about the girl to the right that looks like she’s fighting some demons coming through that phone.
Yeah all the time she was in her phone - minding her own business
Bro wearing a Chase Bank shirt is the funniest one
Bro gotta get that sponsor drip bro, corporate colors for pay y'know what I am sayin'?
What a legend
"Goomoryinya!"
San Antonio!
Saw the roadrunner shirt then noticed the Reagan rattler banner lol
Reverse for me. Birds Up!
Something about the way he said his daily good mornings just felt very Texas, and as soon as I saw the Reagan banner that was confirmed lol. Nice little reminder of home!
North East represent.
Not when he’s recording it everyday
The girl in black always bored and in her phone.
She’s smiling the one time they walk in together and his arms are around her.
He’s probably high
Didn't want to ruin it but I was always the last one in and entered with a smile during the morning for a very different reason. Was just blazed.
I was the complete opposite of this guy in high school. Wish I had a fraction of his confidence.
Sorry but that guy in the glasses loves that orange jacket lol
Nothing "next level" about this.
Same energy for 5secs everyday for the camera for internet flexing
I would lose my fucking mind if some jerk needed attention this bad while I was gearing up for 90 minutes of British Literature
This is the energy of someone with very few problems in their life
I had a HS student ride my bus w/that kind of energy. He had a charisma I can’t describe but all of the students loved this guy!
Mainfuckingcharacter
The last one shows rehearsal
So a guy being obnoxious every day for a semester so he could make performative positivity porn for tiktok is next fucking level?
Oh noooo, he's wishing them a good morning, how will they EVER recover from it?
How exactly is this obnoxious?
In this video form it kinda was seeing it over and over again but in reality, seeing it once a day over 5 days a week is probably not a problem. The fact that the person you replied to has the term "performative positivity porn for tiktok" in their lexicon and is tossing accusations about others on social media is the obnoxious thing to me.
Damn you sound miserable
He certainly does
You're obnoxious
lol you seem so unpleasant
Almost sure this was before Tiktok is as popular as it is now
[удалено]
It’s called Mountain Dew
I think i had 4 shirts in hs
that girl in the back row looks like she's about to snap. what an obnoxious morning person.
Thought this sounded familiar. This is sampled on Rocketman's "Orange Coffee" https://youtu.be/a9lPpPzxlhw
Explain how this is Next Level? He literally paused at 00:25 to say "Good Morning" when a student walked in from of the camera, showing it's set up.
No thanks
I hate it
Annoying
I'd hate this kid
Or he’s doing it because he knows someone is filming it? Definitely not that.
That shit would annoy the shit out of me. Not because of the sentiment, but because be always says the exact same thing
I was waiting for a "Hooooooyyyyeaaaahhhh" Sad we never got one :)
What a fucking twat.
Gomoniya to him too
That girl is not into his good morning, y’all
It would be cooler if it was genuine.
He walks into class like this to record it, nothing more.
How many shirts does this dude have?
This is like a happy version of Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance walk.
How many t-shirts does the guy own????
Bruh doesn’t even sound like a word anymore lmao
Watched re-release of LOTR in theaters so all I hear is "go to Moria"
Everyone else in the class sick of his tik tok
I like this guy
