Very intelligent young man ❤🎉... Good to speak your mind ... Good Luck with your youtube channel ... Keep taking a moment to JUST SIT & JUST BE STILL WITH NATURE 😎🌄🐛🦋🌻☘️🌲🌳☔🌌🌠XX
I think its a cultural problem, with ethnics (blk people and hispanics specifically). Social media espacially hip hop and rap culture contract Yt people like that too.
Sup bro,i got high functioning autism coupled with ADHD and wat you said was something i realised at the age of 14 Im 24 now and the only thing thats changed is the fact that ive got a job(thanks to my neurotypical younger brother❤) but being shunned by neurotypicals cause i cant fit their social mold is still an extremely common thing in my life I live in a part of South Africa Cape Town that is extremely religous so 95% of the people im forced to interact with don't even believe in mental disorders so asking for help is a no go unless their family,they don't understand that wat they consider "automatic" common sense is something we have to constantly and "manually" remind ourselves of 24/7 in a conversation as not to accidentally offend someone Point im trying to make is that to 90% of the women i "could" be dating are disgusted with the thought of dating someone like me and not to brag but looks wise i do better than most of the neurotypical men in my community,so i guess thats a win for personality despite it being my disadvantage Ive given up on dating entirely but at the same time i take pride in the fact that im not falling for some of the idiotic dating tropes that some of my friends go through😁 I hope your video helps regular people realize just how blessed they are to be born normal,ofc were blessed with our own type of perception thats not blinded by the illusion of an all inclusive society and im glad this life gave me an open-minded view of reality Stay strong brother and thank you for making a video that gave me some strength 🙏❤
Same here man. I'm in a similar situation because I'm from Guatemala and I could date if I wanted to but I don't really want to because of the reasons you listed above. I'm just so tired man and I hope you keep improving and keep making money and stuff like that. And I appreciate your support.
I was put in special education class back in 2019 because i did not talk and they thought i was disabled i feel like just because i have a different style from other girls no one called me beautiful only they praised my popular older sister she had.more compliments then me im a girl who is not complimented because im a tall girl it will be ok for us you are a handsome boy 😊i hope you find a girlfriend😊
You seem like a very sweet and kind person and smart person. And it’s always amazing to hear people speak out about this stuff. Sorry to hear about your friend I hope he is ok ❤.
Getting CoViD and recovering but contracting an autoimmune disease really changed my awareness of disability stuff. And while I'm a lot more knowledgeable than I was before, that bigger realm of knowledge also means that the borders of what I don't know are bigger as well. I didn't really know much about brain damage before, and now I know a little more. Thanks for telling your story.
Try to be the best YOU that you can be. Regardless of where you rank on the scale, there are improvements you can do. Don't compare yourself to anyone, but yourself. Remember there are billions of girls on the planet. There is several out there that would want to be with you.
I mean as far as my ethnicity goes, I think I actually did win the genetic lottery? Because I'm light skin from a Latin American country. My condition was entirely the environmental and the result of brain damage early on in life, but thanks and good luck to you too.
While there are more physically prohibiting congenital disabilities, I truly sympathize with people with cerebral palsy. Gabe, for instance, seems HYPER-intelligent (or at least above average). And some may argue that it's an advantage... I don't. Those with both physical and mental disabilities, like down syndrom; are usually blissfully unaware of the life and opportunities passing them by. Gabe on the other hand is constantly reminded of it. Seems like fucking torture to me... Gabe, my man! You are smart, funny, a real fucking champion and I mean it! I adore you and I wish that I had been blessed with the same quick wit and rhetoric as you. Smart guys finish first! Give it some time, and you'll be drowning in pussy my dude. Just keep grinding!
Thanks man. I actually will say that the vast majority of people with down syndrome and intellectual disabilities know that they're different and that society excludes them from almost everything. Also this entire channel and the point of this video was to go beyond the p*ssy. I still appreciate it though!
This was hard to watch, but thank you, needs said. I've seen you at the transit center, motoring at 6mph in your chair, but I always just look away. No More! I'll probably get mace'd, but I'm starting a conversation with you next time I see you.
I haven't been to the transit center in years lol. Last time I was there was probably in 2021 or 2019. But I didn't know you lived so close. You should email me at askgabequestions@gmail.com And we can meet up sometime bro.
@@ACrownofFlowers Gabe, If you live in Washington state then absolutely, let's grab drinks! (please don't dox me!) But, I must now confess that I know it is unlikely it was actually you that I saw. It is about the right time frame, and it was a white guy in a powered wheelchair (you all look the same, lol) so it's possible. I mean, I hope it IS you, that you do live nearby, but what I really meant by my comment was owning up to ignoring dudes in powered wheelchairs in the past, and a public (sorta) commitment to actually talk to the next such individual when I'm out walking (I don't own a car, and walk / bus around). And, to further over-explain, my (mostly) joke about getting mace'd is because I really didn't know what to say ... after hello, but, you have helped me realize that I can use any appropriate small / medium talk. Hope to see you around, Gabe! -chris
@@godgetti Oh no, It's just that I didn't realize that other places in the US have a public transportation system called Transit. It must be run by the same company because my area also has services by that name. I don't live in Washington state, but now I get what you were trying to say. But yeah man please talk to us. Most of us would really like the interaction.
@@ACrownofFlowers your sense of humor has made me hopeful I'll be forgiven for missteps, that makes it less scary, thanks, and your insight and frankness has me hopeful it will be worth it, Cheers!
The world can be hard to deal with a lot of the time. I agree that people stay away from people that aren’t the same in some way. Keep going dude! I have autism so my disability is not always perceived immediately. This only makes it harder for me. We are all trying to stay happy. I think I have given up on finding someone to be with. I enjoy company of friends and pets and family. Also you’re funny as hell lol
yo i got a question for anybody really regarding the lazy eye (idk what its called). can you see out of it, and can you move it at all? sorry if this offends anyone, not trying to be rude or anything!
It's fine. Yeah I can see out of it. And yeah, it moves. I have a moderate amount of depth perception issues, but I'm really just nearsighted and have astigmatism.
not to sound corny or anything but seeing you laugh and be humorous about the situation, really brightens my mood man. thank you for the video! Best wishes to you brother
I'm fed up with women. My autism sensory overload issues just makes them mislabel me as a weirdo, creep, and loser so i gave up on them. 26 and have never had female friends, only one sexual experience in my entire life, and will never ever have a partner in my life
I'm in the same boat as you man, and I completely understand your frustration. But seething about it doesn't really seem like a proper solution. So the best thing we can do is come to properly accept and be grateful for what we have.
I worked as a para in my city in an Elementary School, assigned to Special Education Classroom. I wanted to make a positive difference with my work (I recognize this is a luxury). I was in-person for 2 years, then we went remote for 1 year, then back in person (with super-masks). (yes, the kids pulled down their mask to play recorders. yes, the vice-principal pulled down his mask to bark orders at the kids. yes, we were required to attempt to teach pronunciation with masks on ourselves and the kids. yes, we needed to be in close contact with our kiddos (we assisted with education AND bath rooming), but weren't given the same advanced access to vaxs that the health care workers got. yes, the school purchased 2 seek-scan machines to check temps (and abandoned them months later), but ran out of masks and other supplies, and as I mentioned, never enough $ to hire enough staff to even fill open positions...) I learned so much, about everything. We were always short-staffed, but that last year, it got insane. People whom I once looked up to, admired, I got to see who they really were. We had many kids that were designated 1:1, with the school receiving federal funding. Yet, we Special Education Para's were often tasked with watching two 1:1s at a time, because not enough staff. Post-demic, it was 3 AND there were no longer enough 'regular' paras too, so we had to help monitor the playground AND watch two 1:1s ... anyway, you get the idea ... What broke me, was when the educators that I looked up to, the one's with Master's degrees, and lofty talk about how to treat those with Special Needs ... well, I got to see first hand that they put their own selves and families first. Somehow, it was OK that a para was required to watch two 1:1s, yet the teacher still got child-free Planning Time. I put my foot down, apologized that I wouldn't/couldn't do that, was unfair to me AND the kids, that it was an illegal diversion of Federal Funds, and got my way ... I was assigned just one 1:1 ... just so I could watch my friend, my fellow para, go from two 1:1s, to now having three 1:1s. That's when I realized that if I volunteer at the soup kitchen, that someone else with even more $ will cut funding to the soup kitchen. That if I volunteer to help clean the hospital for free, because I read somewhere that clean rooms help patients heal faster, and I wanna help, that the hospital leadership will just lay off a paid worker that was cleaning, and now I'm responsible for that workers' family becoming homeless, because I took their job. Anyway, I sure miss those amazing kids, but what can be done?
Gabe, you're not alone. Where I live, it's hard to find like minded people, which also is why I opened up my channel. You seem like a kind hearted person, I am sure many people would love to be your friend. Hang in there and God Bless.
Thank you for the video gabe, it was very informative and you have more wisdom than most people I’ve met who aren’t disabled. You’re absolutely right in both points you’ve made on women and men in the end of the video
Dude, you're NOT ugly, but there are a few things you can do to help yourself--a hairstyle that compliments your face, a better style of eyeglasses WITHOUT the strings, and see an eye surgeon to align your eyes. Best of luck!!
An eye surgeon can't realign my eyes because its pathology is neurological in nature and not just muscular. Also, I don't use the strings anymore, but I will look into the hairstyle thing.
The RU-vid Algo is finally figuring out I am looking for authentic, thoughtful people. I'll be frank, I was curious what you had to say, but I didn't expect to learn anything applicable to my life. I was wrong. This video hit me harder than the 20 others I watched earlier, as they didn't alter my day. I'm going to go outside now, as soon as I finish this comment, and play at just observing nature, not looking for it's utility. Based on comments/replies below, you have a Masters now, congrats! I sub'd and plan to check out your existing vids to see what else you can teach me, thanks!
Thank you man, I really appreciate that. That means that the goal of the channel is being fulfilled. One thing that I would say is that remember that what I say is by no means meant to be the end-all be-all of whatever topic I'm discussing, it's really just meant to be a sort of introduction and get you thinking. Enjoy the rest of the channel!
So you wouldnt go on a date with me? Really would love to sit and talk to you. You think deeply and I wanna pick your brain. I wouldnt know how to get ahold of you on here tho....
Lol. You should read the about section of my channel because if you did then you would know that you can email me at: askgabequestions@gmail.com. I obviously can't promise anything more, but I'm always free to talk as friends.
I am really thankfull to my mother and all the other women in my life also including my sister for teaching me from the early age that ummm....women are not worth it lmao
Hi, I found this video by accident and I'm glad I did. You're not a loser. You are articulate and well-spoken. It's a pleasure to listen to you, I will definitely watch your other videos. You also seem like a very good person. I wish you good luck with volunteering. I hope you meet some good friends there. Congratulations on your anniversary!! I actually like the style of your videos. It seems more genuine this way. It's almost like having a conversation with someone. Also, the fact that your channel grows without some crazy effort only proves that you have a lot to offer - that your ideas and thoughts are enough to gather someone's attention. Also, you have an impact on others. I think I can learn a lot from you. We have different problems and different lives but it's comforting and inspirational to see someone so honest and hard working. I feel like this comment is all over the place and sorry for that. But I just wanted you to know that if anything, you already impacted someone. A 19 year old girl from Poland :D
Thank you so much! One of my first viewers and subscribers was also from Poland! I feel like Latin America and Eastern Europe do genuinely have a lot in common. Thank you for watching!
Honestly, gabe. I would just talk to your cousin. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Just remember perk on the left for a little bit until you learn how important it is to be stronger. I'll be training training for 41 years. It's not an easy battle. 6 years now, I see this as an educational learning experience for both good and bad. That's what meant to me Gabe
I always enjoy your videos Gabe! And honestly I too would have laughed at what your cousin said. In poor taste he was yes and this speaks more on his character or lack of information. However, you coming here are expressing yourself on the matter speaks on what a wonderful character you have!😊❤ God bless you Gabe and your family!🙏😊❤
Thanks so much! Yeah like I said I'm just more concerned for his kids because they're the ones that are going to suffer most because of that type of stuff.
@@ACrownofFlowers Again, that shows the level of your character with your concern for the influence of the kids! You would make a wonderful teacher with innate skills and compassion like that!😊❤️
@@missmagillicutty6721 thank you. If benefits laws in the United States weren't so strict around income, I would be. That's probably the number one thing I'm trying to change right now.
Lol I'm sorry but I would have laughed. I'm grateful my family has been encouraging on bettering myself along with my siblings and cousins doing their best that they can but it's annoying talking to other fellow Latinos who aren't at your level education wise. I know it exist with gringos, too but it's even more with Latinos. A lot of us who are educated exist!
Hahaha. Yeah, I know. The thing that made it not funny is that he was completely serious. And it's not so much the lack of education as it is the lack of literacy. And I feel bad for his kids because they're not being read to. He's not encouraging them to read. And unfortunately they probably will grow up to be functionally illiterate.
I know how lonely feels like, I have schizophrenia OCD and I distract myself by watching people in RU-vid or twitch so I won't lose my mind. You're not the only one who goes with it. Hope you keep going forward and don't give up. God bless you dude. ❤
I'm not disabled but as a girl( i think you're really cute), i used to be really insecure about my looks, i thought i was ugly and if i wanted to be beautiful i would have to change everything about myself (physically) but i started reading the Bible and i slowly realized that everything about my face was beautiful, and the things that i considered ugly actually were adding personality to my face it was adding uniqueness, i realized that the beauty standards are really evil cause if we were all the same we would be boring, i used to be insecure about my face but now I'm not, not at all
That's exactly it. A lot of my channel is predicated upon the fact that we should try to see beyond appearance like the Bible says. And I agree that, either way, life would be pretty boring if we were all the same. And I appreciate that you think I'm cute.
I love the bit about “Developing your own sources of self esteem” this is something we all have to put in effort for, happiness takes effort. Lots of real insights you’re sharing, thank you!
Truly inspiring words Gabe! I admire your strength and resilient mindset. I’m so glad to have stumbled upon this video (and your channel!) today. Happy Disability Pride month friend and take care ✨
