To any of you out there struggling, know that you are loved and not alone~ I'll be making these "advice" videos more regularly so if there's anything you need help with, feel free to leave a comment and I can discuss them in future videos. Thank you all for listening ❤
I'm struggling with an addiction right now, and sometimes I relapse and I feel awful. I just need to know how you eliminate temptations and ultimately stop your addictions.
I think the best advice I can give is, it's the story you tell yourself. Often times we feel like we "need" something to get through hard times or we "need" that thing to feel better. But, the truth is it's not the case. Once you change your thought patterns, and it may take some time to work up the habit, by telling yourself you actually don't need the thing that's causing addiction, it changes everything. And also ask yourself what kind of value it's adding to your life. I imagine this addiction isn't adding much since it's causing you to feel this way. Just remind yourself that your life is way more valuable than the addiction you're adding to it.
I’m a very physical person, and I really do share some of the same sentiments and thoughts that you projected in this video… thank you for saying this, salute you for speaking on this matter.
As someone who is constantly beating myself up, I really needed this. I sometimes think very negatively about myself, this is mainly because of a few negative experiences I’ve had with people when I was younger. But this video made me feel loved. Thank you, Samson!
Thank you Sammy, this is some of the best advice I've had in years. ❤I've always been guilty of over-thinking situations and mainly my own actions. I had quite a bit of that when I met you the first time. Voices in the back of my head saying "Would they like me?" "Would I get along?", again I didn't need to worry and buried those thoughts. I've always had this anxiety and it all stemmed from being bullied a lot during school and college. It's taken me to my 30's to actually get confident around others but I still have that fear sometimes.
During the beginning of the year, my thoughts were really making me feel like im a terrible person. But its thanks to family and good friends who helped me know that im actually a really good person. You also of course sam, are a really good person too
I feel terrible as my situation is now so complex (and I've been reaching out for help for months) that - when you say "stay around positive people" I feel like I'm being called out. I became part of the problem. I can't stay positive. I try to support friends but I know I radiate negativity. So I try to avoid that by isolating. I'm sorry. I can't fake it's ok. I have tangible reasons to feel negative or depressed. I know you don't mean "do abandon people who are struggling" but yet, I can't help feeling part of that negativity you're advising to repel and avoid T__T I'm alone and need a hug. So thanks for being so nice and comforting. Thanks Samson for trying to cheer us up, I really appreciate that ^^
I'm glad I can offer some help. In your situation, I'll say that the negative thoughts your having about yourself and those you decide to hang around are just that: a choice. That's not to say you don't have your reasons for them. Moreso, the opportunity is there to decide to be kind to yourself. I once heard it best, "If someone is constantly abusing you mentally, or making you feel that small, would you want to hang out with that person? Probably not." These things we often do to ourselves, and no wonder we feel like we are the problem; we're constantly beating ourselves up. But we don't have to. I send my encouragement, you can be kind to yourself and it's okay to be ❤
Thanks Sammy❤ I wasn't doing well mentally at the start of last year, and it was increasingly getting worse and worse. I'm doing better now, but this video helped me a lot, and it gave me encouragement, more than I've had in a while. Thank you again, Sammy 🫂
Watching your videos always helps me so much. This one in particular truly hit home for me. I especially liked the part when you said, “The bad thoughts are lying to you.” I appreciate what you do. Thank you so much!❤️
This is all pretty true. And honestly. 3:03 I think the same things you do Samson. A lot of times, which is why I work twice as hard for people to see that I’m a person people can trust… even if they don’t trust me right off the bat… last thing I want is to make a crappy impression. I’m also genuinely afraid of what others think of me… it’s also one of the reasons why I feel like a screw up a lot of times. Because I could have so many friends that love me and support me, only for them to leave me when I make so many mistakes that cause us to hit rock bottom… I can’t seem to go through a day without constantly wondering what people are thinking about me or saying about me, behind my back… all the more reason why I’m extremely hard on myself when I make a mistake, and why I feel for others when they make so many mistakes.. they probably also feel like the screw up. And who wants to love a screw up right?.. the harsh realities and society has made that perfectly clear…. I’m sick and tired of being the bad guy, why can’t people, even my own family see that? Is that so much to ask?!… maybe.. maybe I should do some kind of protest for all screw ups.. yeah, I don’t even care if they’d kill me for it.
Thank you Tatianna. I'm glad I could offer help. And the reality is, if you ask 10 different people their impression of you/what they think about you, you're going to get 10 different answers. In the end, what others think of you doesn't really matter all that much.
It was like you read right through my struggles and helped address it directly to me, and for that, I'm really thankful. I have been struggling with a lot of things all at once, and with that came so many negative thoughts that really plagued my mind a lot of the time... at one point, it almost caused me to become the monster I was afraid of becoming, but it was after what you and mom said to me, it felt like I finally found light in my life... even if it's small, it was more than helpful to me! Thanks so much for this vid, cause like I said, it really gave me a light in my dark moments, and like I said, I'm very thankful you and mom have helped me find light in my life again! I love you so much Samson, and thanks for the hugs, and I hope you have fun at Megaplex, and stay safe! (Also, Samson, if you see this, there is one thing I was hoping to ask ya about when you go to Megaplex... it's just a simple favor I was hoping you could do if you get the chance! It ain't anything big, of course, it's just that if you ever get the chance to meet my fursuit crushes at all, like Zuelansi, Telephone, Pixel the dutchie, or Kazan wolf, do ya think you can tell them that I hope they'll be going to ANE next year and tell em' that I have a gift for each of them? It would very much be appreciated, since I have no way to contact em' via socials or anything...!)

Thank you Joshie. You are the furthest thing from a "terrible person" that I can think of ❤
