“I will die if I don’t say I love you.” This line hit so deep.

You are a consistent inspiration. I hope one day you can appreciate yourself as much as we appreciate and cherish you.

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 :)

Glad you’re taking better care of yourself. You really are still the funny guy in the room without really trying. And with age you get more poignant and thought-provoking. Glad you’re back.

@lindzdraws8223 2 года назад

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.

@shadypugsley5136 2 года назад

When you talk about everyone walking around with a secret in their heart, and how that secret is how painful and scary last year was…that makes me want to bust out in tears. My job recently announced that our office is closing, and literally the only thing getting me through quarantine was the idea that this was all temporary. But it’s not temporary, and now I’m faced with the reality that I need to adjust to a completely new lifestyle. It’s certainly possible to do, but it’s sad and overwhelming and I feel lost. This video helps me feel less alone; thank you💛

@r3ntz699 2 года назад

I remember saying to my friend “I know myself the most therefore, I hate myself.” And then they responded with a quirky “right?

Anyway, I am glad your doing okay drew.

i really liked your way of speaking about the necessity of changing your relationship with yourself to be more positive. the way that you said you HAVE TO learn to love yourself reminds me of the way i will sometimes tell myself things like i will get through this, because i HAVE TO. things will be okay, because they HAVE TO be. ive found that setting clear boundaries/goals with myself like really helps

Legit THIS is exactly what I missed about you, you’re immensely relatable cause you’re just so honest. You come across as so authentic and real. I love how you word things and I’ve been on a very similar journey in self love. It’s also about survival at this point and it’s so hard but we have to try! So glad to see your face on the Internet again

This was so unbelievably relatable. I’ve had to stop rolling my eyes at myself as I’m starting to do daily affirmations lol something that resonated with me was we don’t get rid of what makes us “cringey”, we get rid of the internalized voices that cringe. Take care Drew it was great to see and listen to you share your journey of self acceptance and love x

Drew, thank you dude. You are literally one of the most transparent and relatable people I’ve seen on the internet, whether it be intentional or not. I (as do a lot of other fans) respect the decision you made to leave the internet because of your mental health. It’s a big decision to make considering you have such a platform, and you still knew to do the right thing. Mental health always comes first.

@wambo5743 2 года назад

@@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 2 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.

@@lizalove91 I really think that this is common with women- as a 19 almost 20 year old girl- the only thing that let my doctors know something was very wrong is the fact that I had severe arthritis in my foot that needed surgery.
