Hello, so on TikTok, I'm getting recommended a lot of dog grooming videos
which I would highly recommend,
but also, I've been seeing a lot of people doing 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.
I feel like I'm 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, (record scratches) I mean, not that way.
I'm not getting the whips and chains out. Or am I? No I mean like,
if I'm hosting a party and theres games or a movie, I'll be like the one like
I wanna play this game, I think this movie would be best,
I think we should play this music, so in that way, I think I'm a bit annoying.
So maybe that could show up! Also, maybe you'll learn something about
yourself from this video! If you relate to it, is that a bad thing?
I don't know! So, as a little appetizer, aperitif,
I asked you guys on Instagram, with a little slidey poll,
to see how difficult you thought I would be if you were my friend,
Not that you're not my virtual friend Ooh!
Ah! You were nice!
Okay you put me between not at all and kinda, I'll take that!
Anyone who did that and got fully not at all I'd be scared they were a robot or
secretly a serial killer, so I'm happy I'm a little bit on the list.
So before we find out if I'm difficult, I wanna give you a little life hack
to make your life less difficult, thanks to the sponsor of this part of the video,

Okay, it's time, ooh my phone kinda matches my shirt.
Let's find out, am I difficult? Yes.
I'm quite nervous!
Question one, I've often been described as cold or uncaring.
I don't wanna toot my 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's ever looked me in the eyes and said 'You're a cold-hearted bitch.'
but if I've been at a YouTube convention like VidCon and surrounded by people
and I'm overwhelmed and anxious a YouTuber might have come up to me and been like
Hey Phil how's it going? How's your day?
I might have been like, uhh I've gotta go to a panel and not have been that friendly
and I think I've done that a few times and they might have been like Wow he's a dick.
I think that's more anxiety than being uncaring and horrible,
I just wanna be liked, so I'm gonna give that a double thumbs down.
I think I'm nice. Next.
I think about hurting and/or humiliating people who annoy me.
Okay right, (laughs) this is gonna sound bad.
I don't think about actually hurting people, but I do fantasise about
bad things happening if someone's really pissed me off.
If they really annoyed me, I'd be like:
Well I hope ants crawl up your shorts in the middle of the night (gasp)
and I'll think about that, and I'll fantasise 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 gonna give it a mostly yes,
it would kind of disturbing to be like YES
I sometimes get into dangerous situations.
So I was about to say no but I'm so clumsy and accident-prone, I think it's (laughs)
I think It's probably a yes. Like me and Dan were tryna get a mirror back on the
wall the other day, and he'd hooked his side on, and he was like, "Phil, have you
hooked your side on?" cuz there was 2 hooks like this and I was going like that
and I was like (laughs) "Yeah yeah mines 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 cracked all of 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.
So here's the plug socket that got hit and here's the crack that goes all the way
down the wall. Sorry landlord. I'm gonna try and be more careful in future okay?
Hello from the future. You might have seen on Twitter that straight after filming
this I walked crotch first into a bollard. And now I can't bend my knee.
which also hit the floor, and then here, don't worry I'm not going too high,
is where the bollard hit. Ow! Yeah, I'm not going outside again!
I do. I'm gonna give myself a little green thumbs up.
People tell me I am out of control. No my partying is (laughs) quite mild.
To say the least, so I'm gonna 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 is loyal to me I'm not gonna be suspicious of them, that's weird.
They're loyal, they're nice. I'm gonna say double no.
(chainsaw noises)Why is someone revving up chainsaw outside my window? Time for death
People want to do- people want to do me is what I read. (laughs) No.
People do what I want them to because they are all afraid of me.
No, I'm very meek. If I'm in a business meeting I'll be like 'maybe we could think
about perhaps changing that if it doesn't bother you too much'
Yeah I'm not very good at asserting myself I don't think people are afraid of me.
So I'm gonna say noooooo.
I often find myself saying and doing thing without stopping to think.
Fully yes That's 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. Like if we were choosing between two sofa's for the new house,
I'd just sit on one and be like this is fine! This is the one! and Dan would be
like 'No we need to test both individually with our asses and with our laptops
with our feet up and fully know that our ass is happy.' Double fist.
Other people's emotions are their problem, not mine.
Wow quiz. I mean everyone does need to manage their emotions that's the thing.
But if someone's upset near me, I'm not gonna be like ugh, gross.
I'd definitely wanna comfort them or talk it through so no.
Oooh, I exploit others toward my own ends. That's very villiany.
I exploit you to my own ends. Exploiting people is gross, but I am a bit of a
blagger, so if I go to a hotel, I might be very nice to the person behind the desk
and then be like are there any upgrades going today?
Never really worked for me, but you know, it's worth a try. I'm gonna give that a
medium no. Generally speaking, I am a superior person.
At first I was gonna be like nom I'm not superior, but does that make me inferior
to other people? Can we not all just be middle? I'm gonna say middle on that one.
I don't like it. I am a unique individual who deserves special treatment.
I think some YouTubers let their followers and their fame get to their head.
I don't think I'd 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 gonna go with a little bit of yes.
I am unique, and I deserve cake every now and then.
People sometimes bother me just by being around me. Full yes (laughs)
No offence to people, I just don't like being around them that much.
In small doses, it's fine. Like a music festival, I could do for about an hour
and then I'd be like ahh get me away from all these people!
So, I'm being honest, they do bother me. Sorry world.
Others have told me that I am a hothead. When is the incredi-Phil hulk coming out?
No, I'm quite a cool head. (laughs) A cucumber head.
The only thing that irritates me is printers. That's why I went to a wreck
rooms I just wanted to f up a printer.
No apart from printers I'm gonna 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.
People who don't do as I say need to be criticized
I dunno! If someones like kicked a geese- a geese? A goose.
I was like don't kick the geese. They didn't do what I said and didn't say sorry
to the goose they deserve to be criticized
but I'm not like a dictator you must do what I say, everything I say is important
nah medium no. I hold grudges. Yep I am the grudge.
(squawk) Is that the noise it made in the horror film? (squawk)
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,
We've not talked it out. I will have arguments with them over and over in my
head. I will just think ugh if anyone mentions their name. I do hold a grudge.
I need to learn to let things go let it go
Theres some YouTubers I muted like 5 years because they were rude to me
they're probably nice people, they might have been having a bad day.
Yeah I'm bad, I hold a grudge (sqawk)
Wow, I can keep track of sensitive information that can be used to hurt
people at a later time. No! I don't do that!
I'm a very good secret keeper actually. Tell me a secret, I won't tell anyone.
Like a steel box. I know everything about all your faves.
Shut up. I often hesitate to confide in others. Oooh.
I feel called out. I'm not very good at talking about my feelings with someone
unless I'm super close to them so its rare that I'll be like I'm really upset about
this and I need to talk about it. I just store all of it 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 rules I'm like No! the hotel might find out if we moved the sun
lounger. Yeah all the hands.
Final questione! I don't really care if I offend others. Oooh.
No I do care, I really care. Probably too much.
If I've upset a friend it will go over and over in my head I'll be like
they hate me What have I done! I've ruined our friendship
even though it's not bad and their not thinking about it anymore,
I'm still thinking about it. So sorry I said your hair looked a bit weird.
I didn't mean it, I meant messy. Ok? (laughs) That's not a specific example.
The double negative is confusing no I don't- I don't really care if I offend
no, to that negative point.
Here we go mates my result is you're some what difficult person to get along with!
47%! What!
My biggest one is risk taking! See I think that's because I was talking about almost
killing Dan with a mirror, and I do take risks so I feel like even though Im clumsy
when it's an important decision I do think it over quite a lot.
So 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 changing, I will think about it.
People high in this trait seek sensations to overcome boredom and can get pleasure
(laughs) sensations and pleasure, from shocking others with their adventures and
stunts. See I'm not sure if this is describing me that well because I
wouldn't jump out of a plane but I am quite impulsive.
risk-takers can make others feel ill at ease, because their actions may have
consequences for others as well as themselves.
Well yeah, I did almost smash a mirror into someone's head so that made Dan feel
ill at ease. Ooh my callousness is the smallest I'm like a little rabbit.
Dominance is also low, I guess I'm submissive (laughs)
and then agression is also low so 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 accomplishments, while downplaying the contributions of others.
I don't think that's true about me but I can see how it was slightly raised,
because a lot of my answers were like everyone should think their great!
It's fine 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 half way so just bow down to me a little bit.
(laughs) Callous people have no empathy so I like that it shows that I have a lot of
empathy for people, because that's one of the traits I value for myself.
I should maybe be a bit more dominant. (lip whip noises and laughs)
and if I'm in a meeting or with some friends and they're doing something I
don't want to do, I should assert myself, I should assert dominance
and say no, I don't like that. So that was interesting I was not expecting risk
taking to be so high, but it has made me think I should be more open with my
emotions and not care what people think about me as much. Like 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've got a long way to go guys.
So rather than saying I'm a 47% difficult person, I'm a 63% (53 Phil smh)
easy going guy. That sounds a lot better.
I feel like my brain has been poked and prodded enough today so if you've enjoyed
this, give me a thumbs up. Did you learn anything about yourself?
