Huh, I think most people have problems like this, though they’re at times more self-aware about it than the nail video. Many people, including myself, have flaws that would require an investment of time/effort but if done- even one-time investments for some- would give good improvements to their life whether through better mental health or through being closer to their ideal self.
Classic examples being cleaning your room, fixing a part of a house that’s breaking down everyone keeps putting off, exercising more, reading that math paper now instead of a month from now, asking someone out, and so on.
The nail video is hyperbolic, but I don’t see it as excessively so, and I do think it illustrates the core issue of how people relate to their own minds while not necessarily being willing/able to go actually fix it or potentially recognize it.
