As someone who suffers from severe anxiety I 100% agree, its also helps humanize them, which a lot of people forget that content creators have lives and struggles too.
It's awesome to hear, because stuff like this helped me through my issues, and also helped me learn a couple things about myself. (Wilbur Soot is a good example- hearing him talk about anxiety, and mental stuff in general helped me out so much.)
@@Pomme1234 Isn't Wilbur canonically on tour? Or was, a few months ago? I might be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure they can technically leave the island for things like this, so it's not a too far-fetched headcanon
As being Dan's fans we have to understand respect him like a human being. Just because people like his content does not mean he has to do what they want all the time. He has feelings and emotions just like everyone else.
Yeah, it’s his channel so he can create whatever he wants. Some might be uninterested, some might (like me), but the good thing is that he’s doing what he loves and sharing it with the world so others can enjoy it too.
I really appreciate your answer to my question regarding the QSMP, Dan! 💖 I was genuinely curious to know why you dipped out of it so soon. I was not expecting for you to come up with this explanation, or to give us any information about it at all, so it surprised me. As a fellow overthinker and an introvert, I completely understand you! I'm very proud of you for giving a go at QSMP and for trying your best to interact with people that were on it, Dan. I believe that others appreciated you being there, no matter how short-lived that was. Now that the QSMP stuff is over, there's more opportunities for you to record what is closer to your heart! The Shady Oaks series! I'm really looking forward to it! :) Also, thank you so much for the shout-out on the stream, I'm very grateful for that! 💖
Hey, where does Dan stream, or what times. Watched him for years then came back and found this channel, is there any schedule or a way to know when he streams. Don’t wanna miss it. Tysm
@@Alfoe Hi, Alfoe! Good to hear that you're back to watching Dan again! :) Dan is doing live streams on this channel you are on, DanTDM Live! There is no streaming schedule, Dan has said in a video before this one (it's called "Explaining My Tweet") that he will get on here and stream games and stuff whenever he wants to and when he has the time to do so. Your best bet is to turn on the notifications for this channel so that you do not miss out on his live streams. Hope this helps!
As a person who’s personally struggled with social anxiety to the point of self isolation, and near death depression, it’s really comforting to hear this message in its relatability from one of my favorite RU-vidrs.
Lets just take a moment and remember how dan has almost always been there even on your saddest day or a when you were ill, I bet that one of his videos made you smile laugh or straight up make your day better. Thanks dan #TeamTDM
As someone with anxiety, hearing my favorite childhood RU-vidr say that he couldn't do something because of anxiety in such a normal way honestly feels amazing. This tiny video means so much more to me and plenty of others than you could really imagine.
Then it wouldn’t be the true Dan and I would hate that. I love that he’s not like so many other creators now and he’s doing what he loves, not following trends or whatever.
Qsmp isn't a trend, qsmp is literally the first to merge multiple languages like this. Quackity was told by other content creators not to bring his communities together (english and spanish because he grew up bilingal) they were ashamed of his heritage and didnt see value in it until they realized how much it was popping off. IF anything Quackity is a trail blazer. If people want to communicate, they will.
As someone with anxiety problems (GAD and Panic Disorder) hearing how Dan admitting his anxieties with the SMP and choosing the choice that would make him feel more comfortable honestly makes me feel more happier and even comfortable with myself who struggles the same situations of joining certain events/groups and not knowing if its okay to be nervous and be free to express how it makes you feel and especially choosing what is best for YOURSELF and not others. Dan I have been watching your videos for many years since I was 12, And now as a young adult who is slowly recovering mentally with the aid of counseling and coping mechanisms, you still help me by showing your own struggles and how you’re still pulling through. Also big shout out to Quackity being the real one. I remember not really liking him back in the years (because he was not my preference) but during these recent months, I actually see how kind Quackity is behind the scenes. Now I deeply respect him and may actually start watching his content!
I wasn't aware that Dan had anxiety about meeting new people, but I can totally get why it's stressful. I have the same issue IRL but not online. Some people just have it to different degrees. But I really do appreciate Dan being real with us now that we're older. It brings him back down to such a human level where it feels like he's just our friend rather than an entertainer and it kinda helps me realize that even someone with 30 Million subscribers can have their own fears and discomforts. Great on Dan for being transparent!
DanTDM is literally the first reason why I'm addicted to QSMP now 😅 like without him I would never known about QSMP , I was so excited when he announced he'll join QSMP and fell in love with others members while watching his first QSMP livestream. Then after that he became inactive that I eventually went to watch other qsmp members, and now here I am, still addicted to qsmp 😅 I'm still really sad when they announced it on the 1st day of purgatory that he permanent left (canonically dead) the server but I'm still glad he joined it and met other communities in a short time, plus we saw him being a dad with trumpet even in just a dayyy. It is okay dannn thank uuu ❤
You're all good, Dan! Despite not being on for long, you most definitely made an impact on the server, and it's important to know your limits and not overstress yourself. The QSMP community adores you!
Dear DanTDM, I'd like to suggest two games for you to play. Firstly, "Case Animatronics," an ESRB-rated teen game with mild blood, mild violence, and strong language warnings. The second game is "ClusterTruck," rated everyone, featuring cartoon violence that fits well with your usual content style. Looking forward to your consideration!
2 things. 1.He has played cluster trucks, I'm pretty sure it is still on his channel and 2. Case animatronics is notoriously bad and can overheat PCs, even pc beasts like the one Dan has.
I’ve been a little curious about this so I was a bit happy to see this video on the feed. I wish the video weren’t for this reason (the anxiety, not leaving) because anxiety is a [CENSORED] to deal with. Still, Dan, thank you for explaining even when you don’t have to ❤
absolutely loved that you got invited in the first place with some of my favorite creators:,D watching the qsmp from the very beginning has been a lovely experience & even if you’re not apart of it you’re still know by the others as like a ghost of sorts:> always wishing you the best dan & good bye to Q!Dan
Thats alright Dan, i know how much you wanna upload but you dont have enough space and dont say sorry for not having time, have a great rest of your day!
Introverts and high-energy situations don't mix 😅 being a fellow introvert, I completely understand why it was a bit too much. I said this on another video, that the QSMP is a great group, but just watching gave me anxiety, lol. Lots of high energy talking all at once. Not a bad thing, but not a good thing if you're a mellow person. Glad you took care of your mental health instead of white knuckling it.
We understand, Im glad you let us know! Its ok with anxiety cause itll be forced to make an impression thats just not you, and itll be weird for us to watch as well, so we'll support you either way Dan!
Man. It really sucks that you’re no longer part of it, it could’ve been something really big and really cool. However, it’s completely fine to dip out of a situation that makes you uncomfortable! Just know that the people on the server still love you, especially Badboyhalo and Maximus when he was on the server, and if you do decide to return, everyone will accept you with open arms. ❤
tbh I was kinda expecting this to happen ever since Dan join bcs of his life and thats not a bad thing. Keep doing what you like to do ❤(i still watch the video even if it's really bad, dan is that the type of dude you can't make bad content)
This is completely random but watching Dan get caught up with the fnaf lore and playing the games again (bc the vids he made on them are rlly old and I’d love new one) would be so fun to watch
I totally understand that you quit the QSMP. Meeting new people is a total anxiety for me. And as an introvert, I can relate. It's hard to talk to people who you don't know. So thank you for explaining Dan So even if you're not on the QSMP anymore, I'm looking forward to the Shady Oaks series like everyone else has mentioned as well!
respect for you and quackity! and yea im pretty sure that many of us understand very well stuff with anexity and over all meeting new people so no ones plaming no one here. :D
Hey dan, just wondering what about animal crossing? been awhile i loved watching your streams on that and it was amazing and i get so much nostalgia over animal crossing when i hear the music of it ect, and its all because of you thats why i get that nice nostalgic feeling when i listen to animal crossing music, sad but also nice.
I’ve had the same things happen, mine craft servers are always scary not knowing what kinda people your going to meet, I’m glad he went into it and didn’t just sugar coat it with “I didn’t have time”
There's a free game called Palia, that's still in it's beta, which will be released on Steam 25th March 2024. It's such a cozy mmo & I recommend checking it out if you're interested ❤
Honestly, have you ever thought about doing a podcast with some of your friends. Maybe Justin and James?? Edit: also hoping for the return of Shady Oaks
Yoo Dan all love. I used to watch u when i was a kid now im a teenager, i love that ur still doing youtube i always come back to your old vids but keep doing what u like. All ur fans love u man. 🫶🏽
Always supporting your choices. As someone who watches the qsmp quite a bit, learning you were "canonically dead" was very funny to me. 😂 keep doing what you're doing! Love your videos 😊
I dont watch Dan but I watch a tonn of QSMP, and the community has taken your death as a meme. It is honestly quite funny😂 But if you ever wanted to join again, the folks and the community are super welcoming. And we would love to have you back, even just for a day❤
The pressure is real and we can feel like that but we just push on unless U can't deal with it if that makes U feel happy and we need MORE shady oaks it was 'really interesting'
Hey dan! On the slim slim chance ur seeing this comment, i just want you to know i really appreciate your content! I've been watching ever since i was 5 (im 13 now) and your videos really inspire me and i hope to be as big as you someday. A few weeks ago one of my best friend died and i fell into a really deep state of depression (which i think is understandable) and your old and new videos really helped me recover even the slightest bit and even made me laugh which i never thought i'd do for atleast a few months. I just wanted to say i appreciate your content more than you could ever think and i am so thankful that you are one of the youtubers who raised me! Thank you so much and keep being great!
I love this comment! It represents Dan’s community and it’s awesome. I hope you’re doing a lot better now, it makes me so sad to see kids with severe depression, they don’t need to carry that burden so young. Oh, and a tip - you might not want to put your age in there, just say you’re a young fan or something
@@clckc Thank you! due to some youtubers and my other friends being there for me I am a lot better and also I don't really mind putting my age out there unless I start making content which I might not. but thanks for the tip anyway!
You should play the binding of Isaac! I bet you’d like it, its a randomly generated rougelike game with a deep story and an amazing balance of cartoony and dark, along with easy to learn impossible to master controls. Overall, I love it, it’s on steam, and I 1000% recommend it to you! Edit: you don’t have to play it now, or at all, just take your time and relax for now
If dan doesnt feel like making content weather its because hes afraid or doesnt want to then its fine, id rather watch dan at his best rather than him faking his content, we had a problem with that before with many youtubers and there channels have died, so dan making the content he wants in benefical to both his and our entertainment as well as to his channel
“The fact about meeting people I haven’t met before” says the guy with over 20 million random people subscribed to him. No but like actual, he can do what he wants lol, I never even watched the thing.
