Overcoming Mental Suffering: Clarity Beyond Self-Pity

Why do we suffer so much in our own minds, even when nothing is actually going wrong?

This short video explores a familiar psychological pattern, the self-centred question “Why me?”, and shows how it becomes a source of unnecessary mental suffering.

Drawing on Stoicism, Vedantic psychology, and direct observation of the mind, the video explains why we suffer more in imagination than in reality, how anticipation and fear distort perception, and why overthinking creates anxiety where no real danger exists. Instead of offering comfort or emotional validation, it focuses on mental clarity, responsibility, and mastery over thought patterns.

If you are interested in understanding the mind without superstition, self-pity, or motivational fluff, this reflection points to the same clarity explored in The Ever-Relevant Gita, which examines fear, suffering, and self-inquiry rationally and practically.

This is not about belief.
It is about seeing the mind clearly.
