"I'm sorry I have to cut you off. I'm not responsible for your happiness."
"You're literally my therapist I pay you 250 an hour"
i- lmfao that's great.
LMAOO O O O OO O
LMFAO WAIT-
I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING REALISTIC LOL
They're still not responsible for your happiness, just saying
A good phrase the internet taught me is: "You don't have to light yourself on fire, just to keep others warm."
Man, that helped me a lot.
Woah that's a good one. I've never heard it before
@@Faith-zt3pq i heard that one too
Thanks
Thx boiiii
this is accurated
“you are NOT responsible for anyone’s happiness!!”
this single line is actually helping me so much holy crap, thank you so much jaiden.
*Parents*
The only happiness you are responsible for are your own and your imagination
But you are responsible for your own happiness
Except don't live by it TOO much or you'll become selfish
@@simionleva3856 There is a difference between not being responsible and not doing sh*t for anyone’s well-being I guess
The thing is, this isn’t just with friendships or partners, it’s family also sometimes. I know a lot of people that never thought about it. Personally I experienced a horrible relationship with my father until I inevitably cut him out of my life, and just wanted to put this out there for everyone
I can relate to this. I can't wait to cut mine out of my life too. Good on you
Same here with my grandma, I cut her off years ago, but have only recently realized how abusive she was towards me. This video has honestly saved my life in a weird way.
Yup, easing him out of my life rn. It really is amazing what cutting out toxic people can do.
Jaiden: "No one wakes up and is like 'haha im gonna be super manipulative today!'"
Politicians: *Watch me*
"Lying isnt a career"
**laughs in politician**
Hot and original take.
Also politicians: Uh wait don`t watch me its harmful for my career. Don`t watch me just listen to me & everything`s gonna be fine. TOTALLY not gonna manipulate you guys or turn the whole country into elected autocracy, I SWEAR. Just F@@king listen to me & not to those other a$$holes & if something starts making sense just shoot it in the face with a bazooka. And if you don`t listen & start teaching M how to do MY job, I`m gonna throw ya in jail bud, so good time enjoying picnic to prison land adventure park if you decide to buy yourself a ticket, the price for which is- your freedom LOL, so enjoy your time. Totally not gonna turn this into a elected autocracy.``
Polish politics:well we manipulator evry dsy every hour every minut eevey secound (i and my friends call Polish politics little liaras)
What is Politicians
“you are NOT responsible for anybody’s happiness”
Me: But they’re my children
Bruh
Well... that's the only case, it's your responsability, I guess? But there's a fine line in being responsible and being a helicopter.
@@suravinayan2753 When the child is yours? sure.
Ok gray area
Ok. That's a gray area. While you're responsible for making sure they grow up to be a happy, responsible, loving individual. You're not always responsible for their happiness(In other words. Don't make decisions that are already going to make them happy unless it's related to their needs(unless it's them being picky about things like food))
"do you feel like you're walking on eggshells around them?" has carried me so far in knowing what relationships are harmful to me
Jaiden's channel gives me a breath of fresh air, a cousin I don't see often but always have a blast when they're around

Okay, so I think I'm finally ready to share this.
I learned of this video roughly 2 years ago. At the time, I'd already been through a slew of slightly toxic friendships, so I resonated with this video. But, by that point I had a group of great friends who I really trusted.
About a year ago, one of those "great friends" asked me out and I said yes. It wasn't exactly how I imagined my first relationship going, but I thought it was going swimmingly well. At least that's what he told me. Because any time I expressed doubts or anxieties about something, he told me that's just how it was supposed to be. And I'd been friends with him for like three years, so obviously he was "very trustworthy".
After about three months, I was ready to not be getting him anymore and (after a semi-traumatic experience right after we broke up involving unwilling first kisses and a child-locked door) ready to not know him any more.
Because of what he had told me, I felt like it was my fault. Like I had pushed him to whatever. But about a week after I got out I remembered (if a little too late) this video. The number of "toxic traits" listed here that he had were ASTOUNDING:
- *_Emotional Blackmail:_* He knew this was my first relationship, and told me that dating someone "super-duper casually" had WAY more emotional responsibilities than most married-couple relationships have, and I basically became his unpaid therapist. He also totally trauma-dumped on basically the first date and kept using that to guilt me into stuff. "I know you'll be the one to not leave" and stuff like that.
- *_Shifting Blame:_* He kept blaming me that in those three months we really only ever went on 2 dates. However, I only was the cause of this once, and that was because that weekend I had strep throat AND Hurricane Ian hit. All the other times the dates got postponed he was hanging out with friends or he had a stomach bug (which he also blamed me for... For some reason...).
- *_Gaslighting:_* Was used to supplement the shifting blame.
- *_Guilt-Tripping:_* Was used to supplement the emotional blackmail.
- *_Support system:_* He very much tried (and somewhat succeeded) at cutting me off from my support systems. He kept accusing me of hanging out with my friends more than I hung out with him, even though I hardly went out, and he hung out with his friends all the freaking time. He also told me that in a relationship you don't just go to your parents for everything, that's when you start being able to handle things on your own. And, once all was said and done, he went to our manager and said he didn't feel safe because I told my best friend (who worked with us and is incredibly in tune with people's emotions) a watered-down version of what had happened, and got me in serious trouble and placed under what was basically a "keep-quiet" mandate. Meanwhile I was having mini panic attacks anytime he came too close. (And yes, I knew going into it that dating a coworker was like farting in an elevator, but I figured a one time exception with "one of the sweetest people I knew" would've been fine. Nope.)
- *_Justifying/Explaining Actions:_* I'm not even gonna list how many times I did this, either to myself or to others.
- *_Disliked by the Trustworthy:_* My best friend mentioned on several occasions that he got a bad vibe from this guy. I just figured he thought he was annoying.
- *_Feel Like Leaving Is Dangerous:_* See emotional blackmail.
- *_"Do you put off seeing or responding to them?":_* Yeah. Many times he'd text me asking me to play unpaid therapist for him again, and I'd just pretend like I didn't have my phone for a bit.
- *_"Have they threatened you or themselves in any way?"_* Yup. There were a lot of veiled threats directed at both of us. He acted super religious and he basically implied that a girl who breaks off a relationship was a "harlot" and would never be forgiven, and he also implied that breaking things off might be dangerous for him.
- *_"Do they make you feel like you can't do things on your own or you can't make a single decision without them?"_* Yup. See support system and shifting blame. Also, he kept talking about how I didn't know what was best, so I should give up on my dream and a day-job that I loved so that when he was a famous movie star I'd be able to pull him away from all of the ladies who'd be throwing themselves at him because he's "so hot and so famous".
- *_"Do they ask for a lot of favors or money and don't pay them back?"_* I didn't experience this first-hand, but I remember him telling me about an argument he and his friend had about how they'd always go to movies, the friend would pay for the tickets, and he never paid her back.
- *_"Do they talk badly behind your back?"_* His best friend (who was toxic in his own right) dated one of our other coworkers. We got to talking one day, and she said that her ex (the best friend) would talk crap about everyone in our workplace. I was apparently the only one he didn't have any comments on, until things ended, and she implied that very nasty things were said. I didn't know the friend that well, so I can only imagine where he heard those things from...
- *_" Do you feel like you're walking on eggshells around them?"_* Absolutely. That was the three most emotionally draining months in my life.
- *_"Do they put you down?"_* Yeah. Between how I "couldn't get the whole dating thing right," I "didn't spend enough time with him," etc. I pretty much felt like total crap by the end of everything.
Plus...
-When we were together he hit on the coworker who was dating his best friend while I was just a few cubicles away.
-He kept going to events "as a friend" with this girl who I knew had a crush on him and would always come up with a lame excuse as to why I couldn't go.
-Even though I told him before the first date that I was asexual and he said it was fine, he later told me he just said that in the hopes that he might get me to change my mind.
-I brought cookies into work one day, he said that I'd "have a good place in the kitchen" and that was when he started showing interest in me. (Found this out after all was said and done.)
-Oh yeah and I brought those cookies in when I was only 16 or 17. He was 5 years older than me, making him 21 or 22. That is illegal and (considering he's the outlier in guys I've liked) likely grooming.
But thank you, Jaiden, for helping me realize that it wasn't me. I really need that.
(He leaves tomorrow, and hopefully I will no longer be [as] cursed.)
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I may not have gone through any toxic relationships (as far as I'm aware), but after reading your story and many others in this comment section, I REALLY feel bad for people like you and those people, while they CAN get better, often don't. They are super harmful and I really get pissed off at them when I read these types of stories. However, I do get that people like them can get better.
Wow, your ex sounds like a really gross dude. I’m glad you’re free of him now.
I'm sorry you had to go through all that.
One point has me genuinely curious- you being asexual means you wouldn't wanna date anyone? Or have a romantic relationship? Or is it just you want to have a platonic relationship and not a sexual one? If so, why chamge from friend to boyfriend?
@@licarsmeth6890 I'm romantic I just don't want to... Canoodle.
Holy fuck dude. Best of luck in the future
I just got out of a toxic relationship 2 weeks ago and I've started to think it would've been better if I stayed or dealt with it. I came back to Jaiden's channel and saw this and this video really helped me a lot to see the red flags and the reasons why I left. I just wanted to say thank you for making this, because realizing manipulation or leaving unhealthy relationships is something really important to keep in mind. Thank you :)
Jaiden really out here advocating for everyone to be their own Lorax
speak for your own trees
Yessss!!!
i am the Lorax i speak for the trees,if you polute eviction notice to thee
I am the Clorox, and I speak for the Bleach.
I am the lorax, I speak for the trees. Litter again, I'll break your knees.
Jaiden: Not responsible for anyone's happiness.
Person: But I'm a therapist.
Therapy gives people the tools to help them fix themselves
Okay gray area there.
Alright, grey area.
Or a mother
I’d just like to say that therapists have the job of helping people and/or giving them the professional social/emotional help they need. Therapists are responsible for helping people to change into being the better version of themselves’ in order to make their life more enjoyable, but, therapists do not control the people they see. If their visitors refuse the advice they are given and decide to be so incompetent that they block out any useful information towards a better path to the future, the therapist is not responsible. (Y’all probably know this, I just wanted to comment it)
As someone who is battling depression and anxiety, I wonder how I come off to others. I just got back in touch with some old high school friends, they don't know what I'm going through because I haven't told them, but I catch myself oversharing certain things and being overally emotional. Honestly, reconnecting with them has helped me take my first steps to take charge of my life by going back to school, but I have to learn not to text them so much when I'm feeling down. I feel like it's kind of selfish, but I just get so damn lonely sometimes. I just hope I'm not being an emotional vampire.
jaiden ik u will probably not see this but i really wanted to say thank you for this video. the "you are not responsible for anyone's happiness" changed my life completely. it got me out of a friendship where i was being SA and it got me to cut people off when they put everything on me. also the ecosystem analogy. i always tell my friends that line if their in a similar situation and it had helped them so much. 3 years later, thank you jaiden❤
Jaiden:”You dont have to solve other people’s problems”

Wow this is my best comment since one I made on a Betty boop video
I hate people who keep repeating that shit.
rewatching this after having gotten out of a toxic relationship is so eye-opening.
I was being manipulated and bullied for so long, and I didnt even realize it
I would blame myself constantly, because I always felt like it was my fault.
but, finally ending things off was the best decision, it did sting, but I wasnt myself anymore and I had lost so many friends in the process.
being in a toxic relationship is extremely difficult, especially when you feel like there's no one to turn to and you feel trapped.
but, just remember youre your own person, no one should ever control your life and the things that you do
i came back to this video after i got broken up with and i realized that both of us were being terrible to each other . its really hard to see bad behavior in yourself but coming back and seeing it explained from an outside perspective is really enlightening . i always forget how helpful this video is until i come back to it
Anyone else super afraid that they're being manipulative towards others without noticing?

“You’re NOT responsible for other people happiness!” You do not know how much this helped me Jaiden with a certain relationship so thank you so much!
Every once in a while I'll come back to this video, I've had a couple toxic relationships, one was more recent and we were friends for a long time with no problems and randomly they became sour. I doubt myself a lot on if I am actually " in the right" but this video always helps me realize and remember that I did all I could before it went bad and that I didn't do anything to cause it to happen. Thank you ❤️
I've recently had to ask my best friend of a few years to give me some space and leave me alone for a few days, I felt horrible for doing this but he has slowly become much more toxic over the past few weeks and it is starting to negatively impact me. I know I will thank myself for this in a few weeks time. Like this video says, we are not responsible for other peoples happiness. Hopefully you are in a better place now and have found some new people to bring some positivity into your life!
Jaiden: Someone shouldn't ever need you. They should want you.
Romantic Movies: Wha'd you say?
Ifkr! The idea of love they project is really toxic if you ask me (I know you didn't but still) It's just that the whole "I'll die without you" facade is really shitty.
@@shaina4891 Strong agree.
100% AGREED. You should NOT need anyone to survive, unless there is a valid reason to require help from another individual. (I.e caretakers). YOU SHOULD NOT USE OTHERS AS A TOOL FOR YOUR SURVIVAL. This idea is toxic asf and annoying to hear about for the millionth time.

I’ve been in a toxic relationship for six months and these were the most tiring months of my life, him wanting to kill himself and having draining mental health and it was slowly draining my mental health too and until he got sued for child pornography i didn’t let go of him… I wish I had broken up sooner. I had to carry so much responsibility for him and also carrying for my own it was too much stress… at least I remembered this video and it helped me a lot to see what happened and what could’ve gone wrong and how it could’ve drained me. THANK YOU SO MUCH JAIDEN! You’re such a wonderful creator and you deserve even more recognition and it helps all of us a lot in life. once again… THANK YOU
I have sent this video to two of my friends when they were in toxic relationships, and used the eight points you listed out around eight minutes and thirty seconds in to help them figure things out. Thank you SO much.

I just broke off a 10 year friendship because me and the friend had grown apart and they lashed out at me and started blaming me for situations I can’t control. Breaking my friendship off with them will most likely cause most of my friendships to disappear which I’m terrified of, but this video made me feel more confident about my choice. It reminded me why I broke it off
Two years ago I watched this video and it made me realise i was a part of a REALLY toxic friendship. It was one of those “but she’s really depressed and su1c1d@l i don’t want anything to happen to her!” Friendships where I end up being forced to carry the burdens of my friend to the point that they aren’t getting any better, but I’m getting worse. It pulled me into a really dark place but this video smacked some sense into me and I ended the friendship. Now I can say I’m really truly happy.
Now that I'm out of a toxic relationship, this video hits different.
I had a super toxic friend. We used to always fall out and he would always find i way to lay the blame on me, making me feel like it was my fault we were in this shithole of a situation to begin with. What i didn't know, is that we fell out because he didn't agree with what i did. He didn't like what i did so that made it a problem. This is a brief rundown of what happened.
Me: 'Hey i'm going to go hang out with (insert random friend name here) today!'
Him: 'So you're just going to leave me alone? What the hell is wrong with you. I thought we were close friends. You always treat me like shit!'
You see where i'm coming from?
@@MalakSmalak ah yeah. I had a friend like that. She was awful but I then I moved so it was fine I guess

ironically I watched this video when I was in a toxic 5 year relationship, and i remember thinking nothing was wrong at the time and applied the video to other people in my life in my head. But revisiting the video really makes the parts of us that didn't work out become glaringly obvious, goes to show that hindsight is 20/20. I know the things i messed up in the relationship, and am more aware of the things my partner did behind my back now that we are done. i love your videos jaiden, keep it up!
I saved this video and reflect back onto it when ever things feel fishy for me or a friend who is telling me about a crappy person. I normally watch through and if a friend needs it send it to them. It’s always nice to have a refresher

Jaiden, you can't imagine how much this video has helped me so I want to say:
Thank you
I've used this video to help other friends for many years, and now this year I'm using it to help myself. I even have the hard pill section clipped for repeated mantras and for slapping at friends who are struggling with this kind of thing.

4 years later and I found this video. An old friend and me were friends since Reception. Lately he has become a bit more manipulative and wierd and I don't know why but then this video popped up on my For You. I watched it to see what it was about and it helped really well. I supported him on what he needed to improve on and helped him go see therapy. Even though we aren't in touch anymore I'm glad I helped him through this video. Thank you Jaiden
This is very true,
But when I first watch this video I highly questioned “am I toxic?”
Every single one of us did something toxic, ik I did, but the moment we admit it and the more we grow and STOP that’s how you know it’s getting better, but if you don’t change then yes that’s a big issue on ur part,
We should also remind ourselves some toxic traits come from trauma, now don’t use that as an excuse, but I know trauma made me have abandonment issues where I would try to be very close to certain friends and the moment they went off without me I would break down, emotions like that isn’t saying your manipulative or toxic, it’s how u deal with it, and if you dealt poorly it’s never to late to change

I now realize that Im also a toxic person and I keep forgetting that others aren't like me, they think very differently than I do, and it causes frustration because I can't see their sides... it is hard because I'm so used to seeing people manipulate everything someone does that it become second nature to me, but I'm trying to get better so I'd like to thank you. Jaiden, I'd like to thank you for opening my eyes that day
The thing I'm calling ''The Island Mindset'' has helped me! Basically, I ask my self ''Is this person helping my island/ecosystem?'' and if they aren't... 6:40

Um excuse me its spelt grAy not grEy

SandyIRL It’s okay. It was just a mistake

Me: but...I have kids?
Jaiden: NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONES HAPPINESS !!!!!

It’s a grey area! 🤣

I had a friend that was really manipulative. We were friends for 3 years. After I ended the friendship, we sat together in class for at least 6 months because I didn't have any friends and neither did she. I got really depressed because of her. She also said "If you switch seats, where would you sit?" I even thought about killing myself because I felt so isolated from everyone and everything. It's 1 year since I saw her the last time. Right now I'm thinking about ending another friendship because I don't feel appreciated.
"Are my other friends gonna do it?"
BAM
"Drugs are bad...are my other friends going to do it???"
Friends: slams heads into coke
That was funny I don't know why😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

This video taught me to stand up for myself and put myself first when I would always justify someone else's behaviour. I am proud of myself for making the right decision. I also learnt what is toxic within me. I do not vocalise what I feel or need when it is required.I must learn to stop being embarrassed of my own wants, needs and emotions. I am not too much or too sensitive for being the way I am.
Further, a reminder to everyone. None of us are perfect human beings. We are all flawed. In fact, incredibly flawed human beings. So, I want you let be less harsh on yourself. If you are toxic in some ways or were, do your best to work on it! No one can perfectly eliminate the ugly sides of ourselves but we can always try to reflect on ourselves each day, be mindful and progress. Being too mindful is very stressful!
Relax, do what is best in your consciousness and enjoy life :)
I like the pile example because it symbolizes that it's perfectly fine to help them out a bit with what you can without neglecting your own mental health but it's important to set boundaries about how much you can handle helping with
*”It’s not selfish to want the best for yourself”*
I really really need to learn that. Tysm Jaiden (and Katie!)
For me it is
Todoroki Shoto fALSEHOOD this applies to literally everybody. It’s completely natural and healthy to want the best for yourself and if someone calls you selfish for caring abt yourself, cut them out!! It’s not that you shouldn’t care abt yourself, it’s that they don’t care abt YOU.
I agree

I'm really glad I stumbled along to watch this video. Thank you. I've been struggling with a situation and at least for a little bit it brought some calm to that storm :)
This video helped me so much on relationships. I watched it ages ago and liked it despite being young and not understanding it a lot, I really liked it and watched it every year since. it's really helped me and given me a good understanding on relationships, whether it be friends or partners
"You're not responsible for someone else's happiness."
This is a truth that's really hard to learn but very important to accept.
I'd love to print it and put in my forehead, so that MAYBE that one specific person would finally get it.
@singularling
It's harder when you lived a life where making others happy is practically survival and just an instinct.

Jaiden, I hope you realize how much this video (and a few others) helped us become happier by learning more about who we are, what we desire, and shaping our boundaries.
It's "only" been 4 years this video came out now, but I can see how much things changed for me in the meantime, and how, without even knowing it, this video (alon with many many other experiences) shaped who I am today, and the fact I'm happier everyday with who I am and where I am :) I still have a long way to go and a lot of things are unsure for me, but I learn about myself and better interacting with people every day, my friends are the best I could have hoped for and I found ways to easily come back to a safe space when necessary. I don't tire myself out every day anymore, and I try to enjoy life as much as I can before getting to the next step, be it through hobbies, relationships, silly stuff or whatever else
I'm so happy I can call myself happy
For many years I was led to believe that you can’t take care of yourself if you’re supposedly in the wrong in a situation. I was told I was always the villain in every common conflict in a relationship I had and it made me feel so guilty that I couldn’t make any boundaries for myself or even take care of myself.
And now I’ve learned that person was purposely blaming me for everything so I would be more vulnerable and willing to do anything they suggested.
It doesn’t matter if you feel you’re right or wrong in any confrontation. If someone is hurting you and draining you, you may have to consider kicking them off your little ecosystem. Which is hard at first, but is refreshing once you build up the strength to make it happen.

this is a really valuable piece of info that is essential for maintaining healthy dynamics. positive and negative relationships are both incredibly nuanced. like you said, most people don’t wake up and decide to be manipulative. it’s usually a product of their environment or something that harmed them. fear and control are, unfortunately, powerful driving forces for questionable behaviour. and i don’t think any of us get out of this without being influenced by one or the other. it’s most important to see where those two factors come into play and how they contribute to our interactions. where is the lack coming from? that’s how we can pinpoint it and begin repairing the damages.
i come and watch this video quite often, it helps me a lot and helps me remember to value my own happiness when it comes to relationships, so thanks!

Whenever I feel as though I'm in a toxic relationship I always just watch this video. It helps make me realize that despite the good times I've had with someone, keeping them around just makes me feel worse about myself because of how they treat me.
I recently stopped hanging out with somebody who was mentally and emotionally draining in my life and this video really helped me be confident in myself that I made the right choice.
Much like Jaiden said, they would pull constant guilt trips, tell me that if I ever left them they’d be depressed forever, always claim they “always have something to cry about”, and basically just throw pity parties.
I felt bad and wanted to do what I could to help, but it got to the point that it was taking a toll on my mental health (especially whenever they’d flirt with me after I told them I wasn’t interested)
Anyways, long story short, I felt bad for awhile about leaving them but I didn’t want to go back to them because of how mentally draining they were. So hearing this video was really a good pat on the shoulder.
Gotta take care of my ecosystem🌸
I love how Jaiden’s channel is a mix of stupid funny life stories and just really deep topics like how to deal with emotions
“You should care about yourself more!”
Vs
“I ATE SO MANY GREEN BREANS I-“
Yes the perfect balance 🌟

I watched this year's ago and when it came to the part where I'm not responsible for others junk I purposely ignored that part and said but I have to be a good person and help others out to my best degree . Now that I finally realized how a person who chased your best friend around with a knife they brought to school is NOT a person I should date and try to "save" . Thank you for your amazing advice sorry I didn't listen to it before .

tysm for this, i was going through a hard time and you helped me detatch from them. now that i confronted him he is acting as the victim. even though he hurt me so much and technecally cheated on me he did way more and hes acting like i did way more. im still recovering and i js wanna say ty, i hope this video helps others ❤
I come back to this video every couple of months to remind myself how to act, and how they are acting with my friends. I've been in a few abusive friendships, but only noticed until I watched this video. I left an abusive friend group and have been doing much better. My ecosystem is much more healthy, and I have even found a few new friends to help maintain my ecosystem, and to help maintain theirs. Thanks so much Jaiden, you really helped :)

Coming back to this video after everything is just comforting, this video made me snap out of my cycle and realize that im hurting myself trying to help others :'3 after realizing all that ive been better than ever, i feel happier and my mental health is better
So thank you once again Jaiden and everyone who made this video happen :D!
This honestly just helped me so much, I recently left one of my best friends cause they were super toxic and did a lot of this and it was so hard because I keep thinking that I should just go back or talk to her cause she is going through kinda a hard time. But this just helped and now whenever I want yo I just think “ your not responsible for anyone’s happiness but yourselves” 😌
