Hello! On TikTok I'm getting recommended
a lot of dog grooming videos,
-
which I would recommend.
[whoof]
-
Also, I've been seeing a lot of people
who have done the Difficult Person Test.
-
I always see that and I'm like,
why would I take that test?
-
I'm an easy breezy guy.
-
But then I thought, am I?
-
Apparently, it judges you on callousness,
grandiosity, aggressiveness, suspicion,
-
manipulativeness,
dominance and risk taking.
-
Why am I setting myself up
to look like a massive ass?
-
Why am I filming this video?
-
I think out of those,
maybe I'm a bit grandiose, a bit dominant.
-
I mean not that way.
I'm not getting the whips and chains out.
-
Or am I?
-
No, I mean if I'm hosting a party
and there's games or a movie,
-
I'll be the one that's like,
I want to play this game,
-
I think this movie would be best,
we should play this music.
-
So in that way, I'm a bit annoying.
Maybe that could show up.
-
Maybe you learn something
about yourself from this video.
-
If you relate to it, is that a bad thing?
-
I don't know.
-
As a little appetizer, aperitif,
I asked you guys on Instagram
-
with a little slidey poll,
how difficult you thought I'd be
-
if you were my friend.
Not that you're not my virtual friend.
-
Oh! You were nice.
-
Okay, you put me between
'not at all' and 'kinda'. I'll take that.
-
Anyone who did that
and got 'not at all',
-
I'm scared they're either
a robot or secretly a serial killer,
-
so I'm happy I'm a little bit on the list.
-
Before we find out if I'm difficult,
-
I want to give you a little lifehack
to make your life less difficult
-
thanks to the sponsor
of this part of the video, Nord VPN.
-
What a legend.
-
If by now you don't know what a VPN is,
-
it's obviously a Venus poodle... nest?
-
I like that one.
I kind of wish it was.

but also lets you virtually teleport

-
Okay, it's time.
-
Oh, my phone kind of matches my shirt.
-
Let's find out, am I difficult?
Yes.
-
[credit music]
-
I'm quite nervous.
-
Question 1: I've often been
described as cold or uncaring.
-
I don't want to toot my own trumpet,
-
or my horn, or any of my other
woodwind instruments,
-
but I feel like I'm quite a caring person.
-
I remember people's birthdays,
I think about them,
-
I like to make people happy.
-
No one has ever looked me in the eyes
and said, you are a cold-hearted bitch.
-
But if I've been at a YouTube convention
like VidCon and surrounded by people
-
and a bit overwhelmed and anxious,
-
a YouTuber might've come up to me:
Hey Phil, how's it going? How's your day?
-
And I might've been like,
Uhh, I got to go to a panel!
-
and not been that friendly.
I've done that a few times.
-
They might have been like:
He's a dick.
-
But that's more anxiety
than being uncaring and horrible.
-
I just want to be liked.
-
So I'm going to give that
a double thumbs-down.
-
Next: I think about hurting and/or
humiliating people who annoy me.
-
Okay, right. [laughs]
-
This is going to sound bad.
-
I don't think about
actually hurting people,
-
but I do fantasize about bad things
happening. [giggles]
-
If someone's really pissed me off,
if they've really annoyed me, I'm like,
-
I hope that ants crawl up your shorts
in the middle of the night. [gasp effect]
-
I'll think about that,
and I'll fantasise about
-
them hopping around
being bitten by ants.
-
So yeah, I do that.
Everyone does that.
-
You'd be lying if you don't.
-
I'm going to give it a mostly yes.
-
It'd be kinda disturbing
if I said, YES.
-
I sometimes get into dangerous situations.
-
I was about to say no,
but I'm so clumsy and accident-prone,
-
I think it's probably a yes. [giggles]
-
Me and Dan were trying to get a mirror
back on the wall the other day.
-
He'd hooked his side on and was like:
Phil, have you hooked your side on?
-
There were two hooks like this
and I was going like that.
-
I was like:
Yeah, mine's in place as well.
-
I let go. The entire mirror swung
like an axe pendulum towards Dan.
-
It missed his head by about that much,
-
and completely sliced a phone charger
in half with all of that force,
-
and doing so ripped
one of the plug sockets down the wall
-
and quacked all the plaster.
-
That was a Final Destination moment
caused by me being like:
-
Yeah, I got it. I'm fine.
-
and not really thinking about
if I actually had it.
-
I never have it.
I don't have it.
-
This is the hit plug socket,
-
and the crack that goes
all the way down the wall.
-
Sorry landlord. I'm going to try
to be more careful in the future, okay?
-
[futuristic effect]
-
Hello from the future.
-
You might've seen on Twitter
that after filming this,
-
I walked crotch-first into a bollard.
-
Now I can't really bend my knee
which also hit the floor.
-
Don't worry, I'm not
going too high.
-
Here is where the bollard hit. Ow!
-
Yeah, I'm not going outside again.
-
Yeah, I do. I'm giving myself
a little green thumbs-up.
-
People tell me I am out of control.
-
No, my partying
[party popper]
-
is quite mild to say the least.
-
So I'm going to go [NO] on that one.
-
I often feel suspicious of people,
even if they've acted loyally towards me.
-
I think for everyone
the suspicious snake can rear its head,
-
but generally, if someone's loyal to me,
I'm not suspicious of them.
-
That's weird.
They're loyal. They're nice.
-
I would say double no.
-
[sawing]
-
Why is someone revving up a chainsaw
outside the window?
-
Time for death.
-
People want to do-
People want to do me, is what I read.
-
No. [laughs] I hope so.
-
People do what I want them to
because they're afraid of me.
-
No, I'm very meek.
If I'm in a business meeting,
-
I'll be like,
[high] maybe we could think about
-
perheps changing that
if it doesn't bother you too much.
-
I'm not very good
at asserting myself.
-
I do not think people are afraid of me,
so I'm going to say NO.
-
I often say and do things
without stopping to think.
-
Fully yes.
That is one of my worst qualities.
-
I'm always spontaneously jumping
into an idea or a situation
-
without fully thinking it through.
Hence the mirror swinging earlier.
-
If we were choosing between two sofas
for the new house,
-
I'd just sit on one and be like:
This is fine. This is the one.
-
while Dan'd be like,
-
no, we need to test both individually
with our asses, with our laptops,
-
with our feet up, and fully know
that the ass is happy.
-
Double fist.
-
Other people's emotions
are their problem, not mine.
-
Wow, quiz. I mean, everyone does
need to manage their own emotions,
-
that's the thing, but if someone's upset
near me, I'm not like,
-
ugh, gross, sort it out yourself.
-
I definitely want to comfort them
or talk it through.
-
So that's a full no.
-
Uff. I exploit others toward my own ends.
That's very villain-y.
-
[evil] I exploit you to my own ends.
-
Exploiting people is gross,
but I am a bit of a blagger.
-
If I go to a hotel, I might be really nice
to the person behind the desk and be like,
-
Are there any upgrades going today?
-
It never really worked for me,
[laughs] but it's worth the try.
-
I'm going to give that a medium no.
-
Generally speaking,
I am a superior person.
-
At first, I was going to be like:
No, I'm not superior.
-
But also, does that mean
I'm inferior to other people?
-
Can we not all just be middle?
-
I'm going to say middle.
I don't like it.
-
I am a unique individual [laughs]
who deserves special treatment.
-
Some YouTubers let their followers
and the fame go to their heads.
-
I don't think I'm like that.
I don't think I deserve special treatment,
-
but I do think everyone
deserves special treatment.
-
Everyone is unique.
Everyone deserves a little cake.
-
So I'm going to go a little bit of yes.
-
I am unique and I deserve cake
every now and then. [giggles]
-
People sometimes bother me
by just being around me.
-
Full yes. [laughs]
-
No offence to people, but I don't like
being around them that much.
-
In small doses, that's fine.
-
A music festival, I can do
for about an hour and then just be like,
-
aah, get me away from all these people!
-
I'm being honest. They do bother me.
Sorry world.
-
Others have told me I am a hothead.
-
When is the Incredi-Phil-Hulk coming out?
-
No, I'm quite a coolhead. [laughs]
A cucumber head.
-
The only thing that
irritates me is printers.
-
That's why I went to
one of those wreck rooms.
-
I just wanted to F up a printer.
-
[Alliance effect]
-
No, apart from printers,
I'm going to give that a no.
-
Other people have not told me that.
-
I enjoy coming out on top
after humiliating others.
-
No, that's too mean.
I don't like that.
-
Nah. Neh neh.
-
People who don't do as I say
need to be criticised.
-
If someone kicked a geese-
[giggles]
-
a goose, and I was like,
don't kick the geese,
-
then they didn't do what I said
and didn't say sorry to the goose,
-
they deserve to be criticised.
-
But I'm not a dictator that's like,
-
[low voice] You must do what I say.
Everything I say is important.
-
Neh. Medium no.
-
I hold grudges.
-
Yep. I am the grudge.
[goose noise]
-
Is that the noise
in the horror film?
-
It was like [goose noise].
-
That was weird.
-
Yeah, I do. That's a bad trait of me.
-
If someone's crossed me
or annoyed me or upset me,
-
and there's not been an apology
or we've not talked it out
-
I will have arguments with them
over and over in my head.
-
I will just think, urgh,
if anyone mentions their name.
-
I do hold a grudge.
I need to learn to let things go.
-
Let it go.
-
There's some YouTubers
I muted five years ago,
-
'cause they were rude to me.
-
They're probably nice people.
They might've been having a bad day.
-
But yeah, I'm bad.
I hold a grudge.
-
[goose]
-
Wow, oh my God.
-
I keep track of sensitive information
-
that can be used
to hurt people at a later time.
-
[laughs] No! I don't do that.
-
I'm a very good secret keeper actually.
-
If you've got a secret,
tell me your secret.
-
I won't tell anyone.
-
It's like a steel box [cloink].
I know everything about all your faves.
-
Shut up.
-
I often hesitate to confide in others.
-
Ooh, I feel called out.
-
I'm not good at talking
about my feelings to someone
-
unless I'm super close to them,
so I'm rarely like,
-
I'm really upset about this
and I need to talk about it.
-
I just store all of that inside my head.
I'm quite guarded.
-
I've got a bit of a British
stiff upper lip, that I should lose.
-
I should have a loose lip,
a wet, floppy lower lip.
-
Yes, I would hesitate.
-
I only obey those laws and rules
that seem sensible to me.
-
No, I'm such a nerd
when it comes to laws and rules.
-
No, the hotel might find out
if we move the sun lounger.
-
Yeah, all the hands.
-
Final questioné.
I don't really care if I offend others.
-
Ooh. No, I do care.
I really care, probably too much.
-
If I've upset a friend
and said something bad
-
it goes over and over in my head.
-
They hate me. What have I done?
I've ruined our friendship.
-
It's probably not that bad and
they don't think about it anymore,
-
but I'm still thinking about it.
-
So sorry I said
your hair looked a bit weird.
-
I didn't mean it.
I meant messy, okay? [laughs]
-
That's not a specific example.
But it could be.
-
The double negative is confusing me.
-
No, I don't really care
if I offend others.
-
No to that negative point.
-
[game show music]
-
Here we go mates.
My result is,
-
You are a somewhat difficult person
to get along with. 47 percent, what!
-
My biggest one is risk-taking.
I think that's because I was talking about
-
how I almost killed Dan with the mirror
and how I do take risks.
-
I feel like even though I'm clumsy,
when it's an important decision,
-
I do think it over quite a lot.
-
If it's something flippant like a sofa
-
or Dan's head against a mirror,
it's fine. I'll just do it.
-
But if it's something life-changingly
important, I will think about it.
-
People high in this trait seek sensation
to overcome boredom, and get pleasure
-
[laughs]
— sensations and pleasure —
-
from shocking others
with their adventures and stunts.
-
I'm not sure
if this is describing me that well.
-
I wouldn't jump out of a plane,
but I am quite impulsive.
-
Risk-takers can make
others around them feel ill at ease,
-
since their actions may have consequences
for others as well as themselves.
-
I did almost smash a mirror
into someone's head,
-
so that made Dan feel ill at ease.
-
My callousness is the smallest.
I'm like a little rabbit.
-
Dominance is also low.
-
I guess I'm submissive. [giggles]
-
And aggression is also low.
-
I'm basically a kind, submissive rabbit
that likes taking risks. [laughs]
-
Grandiosity is my next highest one.
-
People high in grandiosity tout
their abilities and their accomplishments,
-
while downplaying
the contributions of others.
-
I don't think that's true,
but I see how it was slightly raised,
-
Because a lot of my answers were like,
-
Yeah, but everyone
should think they're great. It's fine.
-
So we should all be
a bit grandiose. It's okay.
-
They tend to put themselves on a pedestal
-
and have a sense of entitlement
about them.
-
Wow. Bow down to me.
-
If you look at the chart,
I'm only halfway.
-
So just bow down to me
a little bit. [laughs]
-
Callous people have no empathy,
-
so that's shown that I have
a lot of empathy for people,
-
'cause that's one of the traits
I value in myself.
-
I should maybe be
a little bit more dominant.
-
[imitates whip, laughs]
-
If I'm in a meeting or with some friends
-
and they all want to do something
that I don't want to,
-
I should assert myself.
I should assert dominance and say,
-
No, I don't like that.
-
That was interesting. I didn't
expect risk-taking to be so high,
-
but it made me think I should maybe
be a bit more open with my emotions
-
and not care about
what people think about me as much.
-
I shouldn't get in my head as much as I do
and just live life and see what happens.
-
I mean, saying that out loud was hard,
so I got a long way to go, guys.
-
So rather than saying
I'm a 47 percent difficult person,
-
I'm a 63 percent easy-going guy.
-
That sounds a lot better.
-
My brain has been
poked and prodded enough today,
-
so if you've enjoyed this,
give me a thumbs-up.
