Why You Feel Drained After Talking To Them

What to study

Identity & Self-Relevance

  • The title names a feeling you have had but never explained, so it reads like it is about your life.
  • The split image adds hope, one side drains you, the other calms you.
  • You click to find out which people drain you and how to reach the calm side.
How the packaging works
Title

The title names an unexplained feeling the viewer recognises as theirs.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail contrasts the drained state with the calm one on offer.

Remix this

Use this when you can name a feeling your viewer gets but cannot explain. Put the feeling in the title and show the drained and calm states side by side.

Ask your own AI chat for titles and thumbnail ideas for your video, using the psychology behind this one.

Make this prompt yours

Prepare a prompt for ChatGPT or Gemini. Images are generated there using your own account.

The transferable lesson

Name the unexplained feeling, then show both states

What to avoid copying

The two sides lean on red versus green. Keep the tick and lightning style markers, because colour alone fails for colourblind viewers and at small sizes.
