Just Be Yourself 

FunFAct: I recorded this on the last stage of having my jaw wired shut. Had to try to figure out words that wouldn’t sound weird so writing was a pain haha BUT really happy with how this video came out.

"I'd rather be hated for who I am then liked for who I am not" - Kurt Cobain

“Why does the color of a persons skin matter” PREACH.

this guy talks to MILLIONS of viewers and hes still himself this is a good man

Adam is the chaotic wholesome guy. He's loud and a bit weird, yet super nice and wholesome. The fact he had a pretty shitty childhood, yet is a very nice guy is amazing

Just be yourself. I mean... *IT'S COMMON SENSE*

Them: What's your spirit animal? Me: *Demonetization*

“LIKE DONKEYS- LIKE DONKEYS!!!--“ That was amazing and the face lol 😂

White boy thinks he going to rap? O HELL YEAH HE DID

Society: Just be yourself Also Society: *No, not like that*

demonetization fighting Adam is byfar the funniest thing I've ever seen

“White Boy Think He Gonna Rap” Eminem: *Allow Me To Introduce Myself*

You see I would be myself.... *BUT* No human can contain this much power

0:30 Shaggy? Is that you?

Adam: "I walked in shy as a cucumber... If cucumbers were sentient" Me: PICKLE RIIIICKKK

2:26 - 2:32 “You know, these kids were just complete jack a- (SLAP) Augh, no. Like, LIKE DONKEYS! DONKEYS! DONKEE-“

Y'know what? YEAH I'LL BE MYS- Anxiety: *slaps* nevermind

“Without being judged” *harry potter flute 11/10 music* “RESPECT MEEEE!!!!”

“Haha you’ll never amount to anything Adam!” *3.93 million people would like to know your location*

SomeThingElseYT: “respect me!!” Subtitles: “Judge Mary!” XD 4:31

Adam: I DIDN’T GIVE A F- RU-vid: *Pulls Out a knife*

Adam: They were Jacka- Demonetization: **whips out rope and starts beating Adam** *WHAT DID U SAY?!?!* Adam:DONKEY, DONKEY!!!!

My school made us watch this, but they edited it to bleep out the curse words. Great vid Adam!

I love how his humour it's always just hilarious especially the demonization bits

This video seriously showed up at the right time. Thank you ❤️

TheOdd1sout Shgurr Let Me Explain Studios SomethingElseYt Have all posted this is beautiful

Adam, I just got out of a toxic friendship and I think that this helped me get out of it. Thank you Adam!

“Everybody likes having friends and being popular and junk” Me after hearing that: 👁👄👁

He protecc He attacc But most importantly He white and can rap

I love the updated-ish design!

*Aggressive recorder noises* "RESPECT M E"

"Do you think you could tell me what true strength is? I may be out of line, but hiding your true self and putting on airs doesn't seem any different than running away to me. I would think that embracing the things you truly like and being able to enjoy them is worth more than anything. To just be yourself… I believe that's what true strength really is." - Tamaki Suoh

5:16 *_SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK--_*

I DIED when he got slapped by demonetization and when he screamed "RESPECT ME!!!" after playing the meme version of Hedwigs theme Edit: Omg thank you for the likes

When I got into high school, I was really liked by everyone cause of my personality. I wasn't being fake like before, it really changed me for the better. My rule is that if you have nothing good to say about someone, dont say it. It's good rule to live with and I standby it

4:10 fun fact his hoddie is changing letters

Damn Adam, your art style has changed so much! XD

2:28 Like Donkeys! DONKEYS! DONKEY!- I couldn’t stop laughing omg All the demonetization signs made me laugh so hard. Btw I just want to say that honestly am so thankful he made this video because people should be themselves.

I have gone through the same way Adam went through and seeing him talking about this makes me feel happy

Hanging with toxic people is VERY bad as well as unhealthy for your mental health. And everyone loves doing what their doing cause it makes them happy. It happened to me too like I wanted to make something but I feared what people would think but this video motivated me to make the realization that I shouldn't care what other people think as long as it makes you happy. Just have fun and there will be positive and loving people to support you.

“White boy think he can rap” Me: he can and it’s dope as frick

The demonetization animation was just incredible greatly interpreted

2:28😂😂 can’t stop replaying

I really like your funny stories and style! Thanks for expressing the truth of your experience in such a cool way.

Adam is such a genuine RU-vidr he's so underrated aww

*gets demonetized* Adam: WHAT DID I DO??? RU-vid: you said... cringe and donkey and the and... Adam : ._.

being yourself is so important, it was hard for me in 7th grade - i was super shy an only really talked to my couple of friends but in 8th - 9th grade i learned that being yourself is a key factor to gaining friends you actually like. by the middle of 8th grade i had so many friends - too many to count but they were all so sweet an very caring.

4:52 when I accidentally said the f word in front of my mother

Let me shorten this as much as possible. Elementary: Everyone's your friend Middle: You keep half your friends High: Only 5 real friends College: *No friends* Also I decided to add the anti-social version. Elementary: Barley/No friends Middle: Picked up a few new friends High: Hang out with your crew College: *Still no friends lol.*

I'm gonna be honest with ya Adam I feel like you the most mature animator out of the most community.

“ like donkeys, dontkeys, DONKEY” Shreck is that you?

I felt myself almost crying in this video, I have friends who don’t care what others think and express themselves freely, I’m trying not to do most things that I enjoy because I get a feeling I’ll be saw weirdly, or judged by what I like to enjoy, this all really revolves around school, i most likely won’t be myself, but will definitely think about it, I appreciate it.

Can I just how much video quality has improved? Like 👏great 👏job 👏Adam

RU-vid's demonitization system su- *gets smacked by it, gets tied up* **WHERE'S MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH? STOP! STO-**

Dude, you made my entire day! Whenever I feel down or overwhelmed I watch your videos and it always makes me smile and feel better! Keep up the great work

Person: "Just be yourself" Same person after they find out I'm part of the LGBTQ+: "Ew YoU'rE sO dIsGuStInG-"

jaiden: just be empty james:LIFE IS FUN :D dave: don't stay in skool adam:I'll pull down ur under wear Rebecca:(can't do atm)

Has anyone else noticed that Adam, James, and Jaiden all take the same amount of time to make video so we get a burst of content every month or twi

thank you for sharing these things people pick on me a lot and this makes me feel a lot better

1:25, adams first fight against demonitization

*Me being myself* Me: *buys 100 dollars worth of fullmetal alchemist merch* Me: *yeets credit card*

Adam: be yourself, be kind! Adam next video: IF YOU BEING BULLIED, YA GOTTA PULL DOWN THEIR UNDERWEAR

I did the same exact thing in middle school, I was trying to fit in but instead of being part of it, they treated me like I was invisible or uninteresting. About 8th was when I said "F*ck it, I'm not even gonna try anymore." But I proceed to try as well as endure with a toxic friend cuz I was scared of being alone. Until freshmen year of highschool. Now the highschool that I go to is an Art school and the atmosphere there is completely different. And when I mean different I mean like....no one gives a crap about popularity and are nice and genuine people. And I am a completely changed person :3

Im gonna be honest this man's songs are absolutely bops

Little did they know... White boi can rap

"You drink?" "All the time" "What do you want then?" Adam: A- Me: WATER WITH ICE AND A WEDGE OF LEMON

You know what you actually helped me. My friends sometimes make fun of me for being short and make fun of me for other things. But now I fell like I can confront then.

I'm really grateful I found you growing up, this video especially stuck with me and I'm very sure if not for this I would have stuck with people who were terrible to me in Freshmen year, and I would have still hated myself, and the people around me. But I've found my group, I'm like genuinley happy. Thanks for putting this up, it's been a while but it still is one of my favorite videos.

"They piss me off and I was gonna prove them wrong. They were the fuel to my positivity fire." What he basically said: *"Piss is the fuel to fire"*

The demonetization part was the funniest thing I have seen in my life

Dude what you said at the beginning is gonna carry me through life people make fun of me and pretend to be my friend but when their asked if their friends with me they say no its like their embarrassed that they know me i try so hard to fit in but its too hard only my best friend basically is the only one who wasn’t embarrassed to be around me and i owe him so much for that. Thanks for at least reading this

I'll say this Adam, when I first watched this I was going to be going into freshman year and was already starting to reprogram my brain, but because of this video and your words. I didn't, and I can safely say I am so much happier now.

James, rebecca, shugrr and adam in one week???? Edit: AMAAZING AND JAIDEN COLLABED

I’m going to be using the “SHUT UP IM BEING MYSELF!” Line for everything now!😂😂😂

You know I’d like Adam just for being himself and nothing else because I think that all people need to like about you is you

Thank you im going through kinda the same thing as you and this helped me become a better person and these toxic people are gone and i feel better

at the back of the demonetization sign it says "no creativity"

Demonitization comin' for ya! **SLAP**

Thanks so much for this video I watch it literally everyday cuz I'm at a point in life when this type of thing is really something I struggle with and the video just helps me keep myself together.

5:05 you not essentially nothing. You something. ElseYT.

*_literally busts through door_* Ok Adam, just try to fit in.

**hears flute** **single tear falls down** beautiful..

As a teen who is in a sort of similar situation: Thank you Adam. I needed to hear that.❤

Maaaaannnnn it is sooooo refreshing to see an animator who wasn't a goodie two shoes from birth to now.

The demonetized jokes killed me.

i was having a bad day and was failing at fitting in, this made me have a more confident feeling to be myself. Thanks Adam

3 years ago when I watched this back in covid I didn’t really take this video seriously and watched it for entertainments. But now that I’m turning grade 11, I realized how much I relate to this video. I can never fit in with the popular kids and they just make me miserable. Now that I’ve learned to be myself I’m gonna enjoy senior high.

Everyone is Likeable and Dislikable. Doesn't mean you're a bad person 😁

Being weird is ok as long as its yourself

I started watching these inspirational types of videos at a very young age so I never went through that stage of “I NEED TO ACT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE TO BE LIKED”

Please make more of the Demonitisation Slaps, they add more hilarious parts.

“And I didn’t need t- aw my foots falling asleep” XD

You're chaotic good adam, never give up

This vid helped me realize that if I’m just myself no one but people who aren’t my friends would care, and I’m not around them so why should it matter? Thank you Adam

“White boy thinks he’s gonna rap” I’m something else anyone????

Guy: White Boy wants to rap Adam: *Hold my beer*

Whenever someone actually says something that shows that care about what i like (in a bad way) I don't care at all, but when i try to talk to people i always end up worrying what people think about me.

Your an awesome person and you inspire me to become the best version of myself and mha is one of my favorite animes as well

Adam: **Bleep** RU-vid: *SLOW DOWN THERE BOOKAROO*

In summary: Are your friends really friends if they don’t like who you actually are? No.
