@@Stayjolly33 The sad part of this is that a lot of people with severe trauma go through a period of regression later on. There's a book by the name of, _"The Body Keeps the Score;"_ I would highly recommend that anyone with a background of extensive and severe trauma reads that book so as to hopefully avoid or minimize the odds of further suffering.
She was also more well off than most people. I agree with here, but her tone-deaf response of poor people as haters, when they struggle for food or bills. Jmho
wow. it makes so much sense now how brett is so mature for her age. she's been through more than many adults. i feel for her brother. i work with people with severe and persistent mental illnesses (usually schizophrenia spectrum) and these are really severely traumatized people. i can't imagine having your twin die in front of you at 17. that's horrific.
Nah mate, nothing justifies you hurting the people that love you like that. He lost my sympathy when he became an asshole. Brett has been through a lot of crap and she went the opposite way.
For those people saying Brett sounds emotionless when talking about the situation: that’s a coping mechanism. You suppress all your emotions to the greatest extent possible because they’re just too painful to deal with, and try to look at the situation objectively instead.
Yep... many people think they may be psychopaths. To the contrary, the pain has been so intense and for so long, that the ones that can talk about the issues expressing no emotion, are probably the ones that suffered the most.
She is clearly trying to continue with her story the fastest way possible when the guys asks for more precisions, that must be so hard to detail these kind of things…
🙄 what do you expect, a dramatic performance? No one owes an audience an authentic display of emotion over these things. Not everyone feels the need to prove their feelings. It's not a "coping mechanism".
I am an identical twin and can confirm that the bond between myself and my twin is the strongest one I have. The bond between us is unlike any other relationship I’ve had. If anything ever happened to my twin, I’d be absolutely devastated. 👯♀️
I lost my twin bro about 6 mos ago. It is a coin flip on how I am doing, I have a family so that helps focus me. I have seen combat and myriad of things but none of that prepared me for the loss of my twin. Cherish your time.
I know I could legally move out but that being said when I was 22 my parents treated me like I was a toddler and would be murdered if I went out with my friends. I think it has had a permanent effect on me where I have a hard time seeing myself as an adult now no matter my age. I think this thing might often come from narcissistic parent types, because they see you as an accessory to their life instead of someone that should develop their own life.
@@jackmiddleton2080 same experience, that's why i just left home even tho iam in 3rd world country where getting a job is not as easy in the us, it's better to suffer than wait for my soul to be crushed completely.
@@fatasssquirrel1731 i wouldn't go that far, if you watch the rest of the podcast she said she had more time for everything else she wanted to do because she was home schooled, that probably is what being a kid to her is, doing the things she loved includong acting.
She doesnt give up the stuck up, arrogant asshole vibes most people in the media do. She seems like a genuinely good person. Love watching her come up.
She's got a big following because she's a young, attractive and articulate woman in the right wing grift scene. It's a scene dominated by people who are either older, male or incredibly stupid. She gives people validation because she makes their (often quite unpleasant) views feel more justified because someone who doesn't 'look like them' has the same views. It's like Candace Owens or those Hodge Twins being every white right winger's 'black friend'.
Brett truly understands homelessness in America. It’s not a bunch of people that can’t afford a house. It’s mostly people that refuse to do the things people that care about them demand to live in their home. I know too.
This is the most reasonable conservative interview I’ve ever seen and yet I see nobody talking about it, seems like it’s on purpose they only want to show the lunacy like Alex jones type stuff or the satire over the top conservative takes.
im sadly one of the people who is almost homeless due to not being able to afford a house and not because i dont do things. i mean its my fault for spending how i did when i was younger, plus college but i dont wanna be homeless, im trying my best to not be homeless and its really hard. im just hoping if i do become homeless there really IS help out there and not just help as in a soup kitchen to eat at and thats it.
@@ericgsix4761 it’s sad that it’s the most reasonable conservative interview. Go actually sit through and listen to some of the full daily wire episodes, not snippets. Also, so many people like to act compassionate. It isn’t compassionate to lie to people, nor is it compassionate not to hold people accountable because it eventually destroys them.
I watch enough of Brett’s vids to respect and admire her position on many of today’s social and political issues, but my respect level for her has now gone through the roof! Wishing her continued success!!
I relate to Brett here I tried emancipation when I was in foster care but was immediately told I wasn’t “allowed “ to because I was in foster care (idk if that was true or not but that’s what case worker told me) so instead I was placed in an unsafe foster home until I was almost 18.. which was so fun definitely didn’t cause any long term trauma 💀
I have a cowroker at my second job who is 13 year old boy who was emancipated. He's like a genius who got a degree and stuff and is allowed to handle certain items at the register normally you're not allowed to as a minor.
She’s so intelligent and wise but one day she’s going to realize she missed out on at least 1/3 of her childhood. Not her fault, she handled it extremely well.
@@RianeBane because she doesn’t mention that at all. She sounds positive which is great, but I can relate to her situation on a probably more humble level, and I know it took me years to realize I had to grow up faster than many others.
She had so much to discuss, she can't include everything in one conversation. It's also none of our business. It's shocking you think she needs to say something else you suspect it's not the case
the amount of stupid comments on here who probably know nothing about brett or haven't even watched the full podcast episode and are just assuming things is insane.
4:41 There's a movie called My Sister's Keeper about a girl around that age. She gets a lawyer by herself because she's used to give her dying sister blood and organs, and she sues her mother for medical emancipation.
It’s a common practice of idiots on the Internet to view political rivals as unilaterally evil Saturday morning cartoon villains, as opposed to simply being human beings with differing perspectives.
I thought she lived a privileged life, turns out it's been very difficult. Might explain why she's so serious and judges us millenials for our attitude which she sees as immature.
So relatable, I’m a twin and my brother recently got schizophrenia. It’s tough because we use to be like ying and Yang, he wore red and I wore blue as kids. He was the older one like a leader and now I have to learn how to take care of him. I hope and pray for the best for Brett’s brother as I do for mine. Mental health is no joke and nothing to be ignored
You don’t learn personality traits from your environment. Some people are just tougher than others from birth. Others have been looking for a reason to fold up and quit their entire life.
Very interesting life. I went through a lot of family turmoil and a death of a brother too as a teenager. I can definitely say that it matured me having to deal with my own side of problems as well as seeing family members hurt. It puts things in perspective because you start to see other everyday issues as insignificant, just things that you deal with and move on, because you've been through a lot worse and managed to pull through.
I feel like our American culture really doesn't have a healthy practice or period of time for grieving over the death of a loved one. We try to move on quickly while other cultures have community mourning for many days or weeks. It helps process and in a natural way and in community rather than isolation. We don't process those deep turbulent emotions in the moment in a natural way or in community, and that can lead to the emotions not dealt with and substance abuse, anxiety, depression, isolation and loneliness eating away at us over the long-term.- So very sorry for the loss of your brother. I cried hearing that sense of deep loss.
I lean liberal, but have been watching more of her videos and honestly (like many) really impressed with her at her young age. So hearing from her about her "childhood" it's very telling what pushed her accelerated maturity. Just adds to my admiration of her and really owning her life. I can tell she loves her family, but yes, when they play you as a pawn or try and mess with her life goals (and she was making it work as she had a plan) she was right to step away and fight it. Glad her mom supported her.
I had two sisters that were twins that were like big sisters to me. One died recently. She was in afghanistan after 9/11 And ran over a land mine in her vehicle. And eventually the shrapnel killed her 20 years later. Her twin is a mess. Shes like a completely broken human being. I cant imagine what its like to lose half of yourself. And the one that passed had just had a baby. So sister/twin is now basically raising her niece.
while my twin and i are not identical (she’s a female so it is fraternal), it is true that twins have such a weird bond and it is like a whole other type of bond that you share. “other half” definitely makes sense to me.
I was going to comment on the bond of twins. Even when a twin doesn’t survive beyond birth. Elvis brother was stillborn and he always felt loss and connection. Pianist Liberace was the same, and when they met, Liberace talked with Elvis about his experience as a twin less twin
90% of identical twins are not fully identical and have a handful of mutations on average that differentiate them. The brother that passed away may have had a de novo mutation that affected his heart that his brother did not have.
As Californian, you can legally get a job at 14 but literally nobody higher you, i have been trying for two years to get a job with experience in being a barista ( i volunteer at my church’s coffee shop) nobody has hired me
California is 1 of 22 states that is an At Will state which makes it harder to land a job at an At Will state because it is classified as legalized discrimination.
Ok but she's opening up about really hard stuff that happened to her and her family and they just kept interrupting her and making nonsensical sounds, really rude
I can somewhat empathize with her. My father used me in his sick manipulations and my mother used me as a pawn in her foolish revenge plots and I got grinded between the two.
oh god, to see your twin brother die in front of you and not being able to do anything? yeah, you can't get over that. twins are much more connected than normal siblings, they share the same egg cell ffs! im honestly shocked that the surviving twin didn't, ya know, go be with his brother after all of that. (its another reason many twins are, ill say incestuous. many many many times ive seen twins get sexual with each other and idk why it happens exactly but it prob has to do with them sharing cells like i said before. its almost like super masturbation in a way but also a weird narcissistic thing too. sorry that this is kinda off topic but the subject of twins made me remember it) dont know much about brett, all i know is i come across her videos and im like "brett? is this a boy or girl? why does she look like ben shapiro if he went trans? whats going on here?" and after seeing this video i think i understand who she is a little better. being exposed to things like that at an early age can really mature a person. either that or destroy them, it depends on the person and situation and all that. when it comes to schizophrenia though you do need medications otherwise you're miserable. my grandma was diagnosed with it and before she was she'd be acting weird, saying she saw black shadow people everywhere but once she was on the meds it stopped but the docs did try to put her on more BS and my mom was NOT having it. my mom didn't want her mom to be a bed ridden zombie not able to do anything. luckily it didn't happen, i mean yeah she did lay in bed more after the meds but she wasn't going insane all the time thinking people were after her. i know my mom has always told me she doesn't wanna be a vegetable and if shes in that state to unplug her. im an only child too so if that time comes, its gunna be so much harder because i wont really have others to console about it. a husband sure but its not the same as other family that knew my mom, ya know? her brother didn't hit rock bottom at that point yet with drugs which is why he didn't want help yet. usually once you hit that bottom, thats when you wanna start getting clean. you get tired of using drugs and the outcomes of it after awhile. if you're lucky i mean. most times people die before reaching that low point because thats how drugs work. real drugs anyways. you always want that next big high so you do more drugs in hopes it works and you end up ODing instead and dying. i smoke weed for a lot of issues but also "for fun" and im addicted to it but i know im addicted to it and after about 3 years of constant smoking, im now starting to not really wanna smoke weed anymore. my addiction to it is slowing down and hopefully i can stop all together. one reason i smoke is to calm myself down. i get stressed SUPER EASILY but weed keeps me calm which is soo nice, you have no idea how nice it is to not be angry at stupid things lol. but thats another reason i got addicted, the nice feeling of not feeling anger and weed isn't deadly so the only harm im really doing to myself is like, smoke inhalation. i know back in the day my mom had jobs at 14 and we live in upstate NY. i really do think at 14 there should be part time jobs for teens to start learning how to be an individual. again, back in the day, when there used to be gas station attendants? THOSE were the 14 and 15 year old boys who did those jobs. they went and cleaned your glasses and filled your car for you but as we all know those jobs dont exist anymore because who wants to pay anyone money for a job the driver of the car can do themselves?
@@killerboba religion is not something mythical like a toothfairy. Anyways, yeah your point is right, people are different since they are exposed to different circumstances. My whole point of the comment was to appreciate her maturity level at that age.
As someone who was homeschooled. It's not good. You lose a lot of social skills being stuck at home. Also, the person whose teaching you doesn't always do a good job. Once you get to more difficult subjects it's even worse. I wouldn't recommend it at all.
@@orphanedhanyou Weird because most people that I know who go-to public school (mainly females) struggle with social anxiety, but on the other hand, my friends who were homeschooled are more introverted and have no problems with social stuff
@@orphanedhanyou At least there's a system they need to follow at schools. If you luck out and get a bad teacher at home or parents who don't wanna teach certain subjects like evolution. You get fucked.
She's going to have issues later in life. Poor kid. She stepped into the adult role way too young while her mother and father acted like kids. Imagine they were traumatized and screwed up too.
@@D_Cali_Life I'm in Alabama and I was talking to my uncle about it today and found out that Alabama actually doesn't have a state minimum wage law, so the minimum wage here is $7.25, the federal minimum wage. I did wind up quitting that job and am now making $14 bucks an hour, and I don't get an employee discount or anything but they do give us random $100 gift cards which is awesome
Am I the only person who lost respect for Brett from this clip? Yes, I feel bad she lost her brother, but she literally got manipulated by her mother into cutting her father out of her life. That's not maturity
I 100% disagree with her on the “anti-depressants/etc”. I know lots of people and heard from lots of people who eat extremely healthy and exercise extensively, and it has not solved their problems.
I don't think she was implying that lifestyle changes *alone* can fix mental illness *for everybody.* In context it seemed like she was pointing out there were other options that her brother could/should have been directed to since he was refusing medication.
Okay, I was curious who she actually is but rough sh*t might be understatmen for a life like this in a western (allgedly) developed country! Some people really do "live more life in 20 years than others in 80!" While her parents were fighting they had to have done something right to raise a young Lady in the 21st - 22nd century to surive at 15 years old peole wouldn't manage to do half that crap. I pay my respect for that.
I hope Brett had permission from her brother to tell this story. That’s really his private business. She’s sharing really personal details that most people would not want shared.
Homelessness (near enough), neglectful or abusive households, sever mental illnesses? Nah we invented them in the 90s. This shit has always existed, does exist and will exist forever till humans disappear.
I’ve always said this. There are two ways you choose when your life falls apart. 1. Be responsible for yourself , stop blaming everything and star working for your future (conservative) 2. Blame everyone, try to take down everything you believe is wrong . (Liberal)
