You're maturing. It isn't reasonable to expect a person to never change or grow as they get older. Your audience is aging with you, so don't lose sleep over it. We still love you.
You say you're trying to lower your energy, and it's noticeable, but your words are still flowing a thousand miles per hour. It feels like I'm watching multiple people converse in this video, but it's just you. You have so much personality. I don't think you can ever tame that energy. It's what we love about you.
Drew trust me your audience isn't as young as you think. I think alot of us are around your age and that's why we can all relate. I'm 20 atm and suffer with anxiety, your channel is like everything inside my head that I don't have a chance to get off my chest. That's why I love it.💖🤟
I literally don't even mind what Drew talks about, I could watch him talking about the most random stuff for houuuuurs EDIT: As a british person your british accent was hilarious 😅
i ve been on this platform for a while now and as a matter of fact naomi, i can not watch hime “talk about the most random stuff for houuuuurs”. Good night
I honestly prefer this style of video over your older ones. You seem so much more genuine in ur vids nowadays and i love that. (Still love the older ones too though) anyways, thanks for coming back and keep being you drew ❤
Hey man, I'm a 35 year old single Dad that lives in Alabama. Been a fan of yours for a long time now. I wanted you to know, you're one of my most favorite I hardly ever comment on videos but I really wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed watching you and think you're so funny. Say Hi to me.
MadamShizz i dont know, i just feel like shane's been getting wrapped up in fame & sensationalism at the moment, and we know those things have made drew depressed before. shane's into making "documentaries" or whatever now, so if he made a video with drew, i feel like it would have to be in-depth and personal and would bring a lot of attention to drew he might not want. i cant speak for either of them though. and i dont hate shane so if anyones thinking about angrily replying to this defending their fave dont. thats just whats my guts telling me. but dont get me wrong, i loved those videos and miss them to death 😔
I love thicc Drew. He looks healthy, calm, and gives us only content he wants to make. I love that and I feel like he’s more honest. Also us thiccys gotta stick together :)
Sooo basically you have chosen to be a role model. With the no smoking on camera and the lack of cursing. That is awesome and as a mom of several teens who watch you I sincerely thank you. You also have chosen to slow down in order to do more. I don't think anyone with a brain would complain about that. You are still very funny and to me you look healthy. R. J. Is the cutest turtle on the planet!
Sandi99999 thank God lol once I sent my comment I started thinking I'm going to look like some old lady weirdo. if I am, at least I'm not alone! please know that is a joke and not meant to be mean in any way. have a good day
Role - If you have a role in a situation or in society, you have a particular position and function in it. Roll - When something rolls or when you roll it, it moves along a surface, turning over many times.
Marlow Stoneheart. thank you so much. that is what happens when you type fast without your glasses on. also what happens when your fingers get ahead of your brain on a slowly dying phone. but at the end of the day it was my error.thanks for pointing it out. now about you...are you a retired English teacher? what motivates you to correct others comments? I am asking seriously. if you do not want to reply that is fine. I'm just sincerely curious. have a great day.
Also, Drew, don't beat yourself up or blame yourself for being burnt out. You have a great job but you also have a job that requires you to combine doing what makes you happy with making money and keeping people happy, and I think that any time those factors come together, a job can go from exciting and fun to highly stressful. Creative jobs are extremely hard and tiresome jobs, and you are talking about that stress in a very humble, NON-cliche way, unlike some other RU-vidrs.
I really love and appreciate the new more chill Drew, it feels very genuine and very real. I remember I used to actually think while watching your older videos that "I wonder if this guy is this energetic all the time irl, it must be very exhausting if he is", so it really makes sense to me when you say that it actually did exhaust you. Sorry to rant, what I meant was keep being loose and chill, it's lit and sick
There is a little boy watching this video. My two year old son watching with me. But he loves you 😂 he doesn’t even know what’s going on but he laughs so much haha
I’m really glad you took a mental health break, cause it really sounds like you figured it out. You’ve really dug deep, & we know how hard that must have been for you to crawl into a deep dark tunnel with only you & your head but gosh darn it you fucking came out the other side boy! We’re very proud of you, & I am personally impressed by you.
I'm really not 13 years old, but I appreciate that you're being 'better' for the kids who do watch you. I am 1 million times against smoking because it's literally killed and killing my entire family, and I'm glad you're not making it look cool to the kids.
The only thing that bothers me about you smoking is that it's not good for you & I want you to be around forever & ever!! Also, loved the turtle tour!! 🐢
Drew, I love that you changed the energy in your videos. The "fast-paced" distracted me at times. But now you seem more relaxed & comfortable :) Thank you!
Definitely, I’m so fed up with the fake people out there. I just miss the chill and real and just down to earth videos because that’s what RU-vid is supposed to be. High production and all that shit is just overwhelming for us and for the RU-vidr, like you don’t need a whole studio and production team and crew to make a video just get a good quality camera and a few lighting (not really necessary) and there you go..
i'm glad you're not exhausting yourself anymore drew! you're naturally hilarious, and the looser videos makes it more real n relatable :) keep doing what you love, always cheering u on!!
“I’m talking to 13-year-olds right now.” This just forced me to think about the fact that there are living, breathing humans on the internet who are exactly half my age. My age is two teens worth. I didn’t come to this video to face my mortality, Drew. Thanks a lot.
i love how when i started watching drew monson videos they were depressing which helped me relate/ cope at that time period in high school. and now i'm much happier living in the young adult life and i feel the phase 2 of drew monson videos literally transitioned the same time my own life was. look forward to every new video.
This is my 6th year anniversary of being a NON SMOKER!!! I smoked for a long time, but you CAN QUIT. Its not easy though. To the people that have never smoked... DONT.
Congrats! My dad has been cigarette free for over 10 years now! I'm really hoping my mom will put the effort in to try and quit. Especially since her side of the family has a history of cancer, and my grandmother was a heavy smoker as well and passed away from lung cancer.
butterfliesinreverse I’m 20 and have never tried a cigarette before. People are always surprised by that but I’ve just honestly never been interested/curious to try cigarettes and I don’t plan to ever try them.
@@Mari-il4bw Same. I'm prone to headaches and nausea so the smell of cigarettes alone makes me feel sick. I really hope young teenagers these days don't find cigarettes as cool as they used to be portrayed years ago, and feel like they need to try them to fit in at parties/with groups of friends.
butterfliesinreverse YAAASSS CONGRATULATIONS! my mom smoked for over a decade and even tho she quit 20 years ago she still has those cravings sometimes. Congrats for kicking the habits ass. That’s a huge deal :D as u know lol.
Morgan Marie it’s so interesting that u say that cuz I’m the same although my cousin who’s 18 is super into the vaping scene. She’s addicted to nicotine but no darts. It’s interesting how they’re changing the method of delivery but keeping kids addicted to the same thing
Me too, it's so sad most women don't realise how beautiful they are until they are much older and they look back on photos of themselves when they were in their teens and 20-30s and say "wow why didn't I notice how good I really looked back then???"
seeing drew become more comfortable with himself and what he wants to do makes me so happy. i’ve been watching his videos since i was 13 (i’m 19 now) and it’s so nice to see how far he’s come. for example, there an older vid of him stumbling on his words and yelling at himself, in comparison to calmly saying “i’m not very good at guitar” when messing up. he’s being nicer to himself and i love to see that. so proud of you drew ❤️
I have always been a huge fan of yours drew, and I honestly prefer your more recent videos! I enjoy anything you do, and will support you regardless! These seem more raw and are super inspiring to me. Please keep up the amazing work, you’re incredible and I truly mean that!
Wow, okay - your comment is completely unnecessary. She’s being supportive, you’re being negative. We should be building people up, not bringing them down. Girl BYE.
