We genuinely care about his well being and can appreciate the bits and pieces he’s willing to share with us. We’re also hilarious because King Drew is effortlessly the funniest in the platform by far.

Hearing you talk about this… it actually really helped me in a way. To not feel as alone. I have been going through similar stuff, especially the needing to love myself more. And when you talk about the urgency of needing to work on that for your own sake, I relate to that. I have been distancing myself and doing a lot of self sabotaging behaviors. Wish you luck on this path to self acceptance. It’s frickin rough but so important to give your all.

I remember saying to my friend “I know myself the most therefore, I hate myself.” And then they responded with a quirky “right? Normalize hating yourself.” We shouldn’t normalize it, like drew said, we shouldn’t be the people who roll their eyes when someone says they love themselves, or proud of themselves. Anyway, I am glad your doing okay drew.

Feeling completely disconnected to your old self due to experiences & changes over the years that seeing people from the past is disorienting.

I think this is the first time I've left a RU-vid comment. This was so wonderful to hear. I didn't realize I was the same age as you. I also started the pandemic as a 24 year old and am now 26. You describing the Windows upgrade and not liking the new gray button was incredible. All of this was incredible. Every single word from start to finish resonated with me. Thank you. I hope your journey to loving yourself is even MORE successful than the amount of love you are getting in these comments :)

@@pterodactylbull What a shitty, uncompassionate take. The fact that there’s people who’ve lost everything from this pandemic, and your response is “it could be worse”? Maybe it wasn’t for you, but try to realize that you have no idea what everyone else has gone through.
@Feraltrashlord
@Feraltrashlord 3 года назад
@@pterodactylbull I agree to some extent, however if I’ve understood you correctly I feel as though perhaps you’re seeing the issue from a particular perspective without addressing the perspectives of others. I guess my thoughts on it are that the issue I’m seeing is that there are already people in this world who were experiencing those extremes before the pandemic hit. The world isn’t one size fits all. Human beings are very versatile. People survive unbearable things all the time. It’s not about whether you think you can or not, usually there’s just no other option. Ignoring that we do experience trauma from global events that change our collective lives forever in my opinion makes us more susceptible to something down the line being what breaks us. We should be constantly finding ways to take care of our bodies and minds. If we don’t, we die. The world will get worse. Pandemics will become more frequent. Things will get more fucked up. I’m in it for the long haul and addressing how an event made you weaker, having the words to describe your response to those events, finding support systems that will last long term and learning deeply about the events themselves is crucial to long term survival. This stuff interests me and I value your opinion. Hope I haven’t misunderstood your comment.
