This reminds me of Barbie's monologue, where if you appear vulnerable as a therapist it means that you are not qualified or that you need one, but if you appear cold and emotionless you have no empathy. As you say, you have the answer within you and you just need to find it. As much as we can, we will support you Mere in the way that each one of us can, here on Patreon or on a podcast. Some comments don't need so much light, let them pass. At the end of the day decide what YOU want to do and don't feel bad about making money doing something you enjoy. ❤ ps. More reactions to the Lust for life era
God forbid a creative person take a business stance and explore multiple streams of income to support their craft 🙄 this is how I make a living. Go for what you want. Haters gonna hate. Oh, and people who are anti-vulnerability are probably not your audience so you don't need to worry about pandering to them or even acknowledging them. I'm glad you share of your true self. ❤
A favorite lyric “if you’re really as tough as your defenses, you’d let them fall” Vulnerability is strength. 100%. As a therapist you already know this of course. Nothing but admiration for that here. Keep being strong by being vulnerable.
oh my, at the end of the day you’re a content creator! you can absolutely be passionate about authenticity and connecting with others while still choosing to benefit financially or even just supported by people who enjoy the content are in the position to want to pay that forward, especially on a platform where you’re able to still create separate content and connection that is specific to that platform. I think it just isn’t meant for those people who said that and unfortunately, they feel that right to state these to you which of course benefits no one. Sorry about that! There’s so many who understand and support you, who are here *because* of your vulnerability and appreciate the humanness of what you express. I hope you feel the love from those there to affirm you. 💙
The ability to be vulnerable is such a positive character trait! We not only help ourselves but also other people when we share our struggles, our joys, our frustrations, our questions, etc. This is how we connect as human beings. Keep being your vulnerable, wonderful self, Mere. The people who resonate with you will always be there.
Really Mere I support you all the way here you are a therapist with emotions and feelings and you have the right to express them because you are a human being in this world. And it frustrates me how people think we need to be perfect all the time because that is not how god made us to be. I’m sorry for the haters and the backlash and just know that you have my support and I absolutely love your content and your vulnerability because I don’t feel I’m the only one who deals with hard things. I feel as if I can identify with you and me being a 24 year old woman can really encourage me when I feel down or upset. ❤
Im a Costa Rican fan! Me and my friends are sending you love and beautiful energy. You're Wise, beautiful and a strong enough, don't you ever forget it ❤
Haters gonna hate. Focus on what you need and what its good for you and your content. If its patreon, youtube, tiktok, insta, everywhere we will follow you. Take care, bye bye ❤
Podcast sounds good, Mere. Like, its good see you on one platform or another. Anything where you talk and bring substance, fun, (and even cry a little LOL) is good. We are here just to, yk, watch your content (our favorite). Love you! (I don't even know if my comment helped get any answers, but that's it) - Mary (Maria)
Ethel Cain - “Selby Wall” would be a nice introduction into the deep, dark universe of transgender female catharsis. There is rage, open-ended interpretation and very unique honest relatable perspective. I would love to contribute to your patreon. I love your LDR analyses, I’m going to donate now!
You're doing great. The greaaaaat majority supports you and your content. I think it's great you show your emotions on camera, I am truly amazed. I'm amazed because I can't get myself to upload even a short tiktok. XD
If you want to do Patreon, podcast, do it! Please stay on RU-vid. You're supporting yourself and your son - do what you need to do and I love when you share your life. It makes you even more relatable. The jealous people will always be out there. Love you.
I am very positively affected by your podcasts. I admire your insights and your expressiveness on matters emotional and on relationships. You're very relatable. I encourage you to keep on with your good work. Please carry on. I want to support you. Thank you.
Some people just expect everything to be free. You're in the next phase of your life, and I'm here for it! It must be hard to make such a huge decision about where to land next. Patreon. Podcast etc etc. You have an audience that wants more. Of course, that attracts trolls ❤
Why am i this late to your channel😭😩 i love you so much Idk how but it’s just i wanna hug you and tell you that things will get better and you’re a therapist and you already know that better than me but you’re just a human and you’re the best and most understanding of your human self! Just love and support! you are strong enough to share your journey and something people can not see how hard can life get when it’s already hard and they’re making it difficult to get through it already! Keep being however you are and be sure that we’re proud of you❤
Mere just a reminder that we love you ❤. I appreciate how open and honest you have been with us(your followers) and ignore the haters 🙄.Take your time and do what’s best for you and your life. Would you consider a second channel where you can give advice, answer questions and maybe interact closer to your audience?
Keep doing you, love your reactions to music videos but I´d love to hear a podcast about other topics aswell. Vulnerability is warm, seeing you talking about your experiences have helped me to see my own problems in a calmer way, like there´s hope in crying cause I know we´re gonna be better at some point and in the meanwhile we can cry with Taylor songs together
They obviously don’t know what they’re talking about. You’re human and therapists should be seen as human too, and as someone who wants to be a therapist I appreciate your honesty.
just wanting to let you know, as a person who's gone through a lot of therapy and treatment, you are doing an incredible job. Your channel is therapeutic and wise, but I think some people need to remember its not an alternative to therapy. It is literally called mend with Mere, we are all healing together. I think I am speaking for most of us who actually watch your videos, when I say we appreciate your vulnerability, it takes therapy to be that vulnerable and your vulnerability makes me feel understood and seen. You don't need to explain yourself for wanting to make money off of doing something you love and is helping so many people. I know I would love, love, love, love to listen to a podcast by you and I think that is a great idea. You have so many good things to say to add to the world. 🥰
Whatever you decide to do, I'll be there Patreon might work for more vulnerable stuff and for podcast, that way you can be 100% yourself with people who are there for the real you. And then keep RU-vid for "general" reaction videos that will get you views and likes. So many creators separate what will get them views and real interactions with people who care about you.
Hi sweet Mere! I know you've had a lot of personal client requests but i just want to reintroduce myself as the young(ish, lol) woman who has felt so moved by your input from the beginning of your chanel, and personally reached out to you to see if you could be my therapist bc you just get IT. You already know this but you are everything we need in modern therapists and it genuinely restores my faith in humanity. Some people are dicks, and too afraid to emote, so they critisize us who have a healthy relationship w ourselves. You ain't gotta prove nothing. And I'm sorry you felt obligated to tell us you do see a therapist bc that's frankly none of our business unless you want it to be, but they sound great if they're cheering you on like you do w your clients. You have such a genuine heart. I never understand rude people in the comments section, they're lame. Something I remind myself when feeling annoyed/judged like you are now, if you are doing something worthwhile there's always gonna be haters, its just the world we live in. Meanwhile, what brilliant things are they doing? Keep following your intuition! We will follow you :)
I wonder if open-mindedness and getting out of our “safe” spaces could be a topic you explore. I think a lot of this judgment may come from a place of a person’s lack of introspection and I feel it is seen more and more. We need a world where we can think outside of ourselves and our “knowns” and consider we don’t know what we do’t know. Take in what we feel is relevant and leave the rest. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone. A little less me and a little more “us” would be lovely if people could understand and grow in that. I know you try to address that. I’d love to dive deeper in that.
I would really love if you made a podcast, and talked about other subjects other than just music, world not be able to watch u on patreon tho cause im not american
I wish more therapists had your style, I don't like the 'parent and child' dynamic of so much therapy, with this person talking down to you and not admitting to ever themselves having struggles. I like more the 'peer to peer, hey I've been there too, I get it!' style, like a super informed friend who has a degree on how to be the most empathetically supportive.
I think you can find a way to have content on both. I vote for you to stay on RU-vid because I already paid enough subscriptions I don't want to pay subscriptions for almost anything anymore. I might be an adult but that doesn't mean I want to pay $4.99 for everything I want to watch you know what I mean?
Good for u. I had a therapist who acted so lovely and professional just like you. Then I saw her true colors just like u. It was all about money and it was never about me as a patient. She never cared. I think you should do something else. I unsubbed long ago my dear.
