When I was a kid, I liked Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and DanTDM because they were funny and full of energy. This year, I turn 18, and I feel like I've grown alongside people I've never even met, who have inspired me so much. I can't thank you enough, Seán.
Same situation bro it feels so sureal like we have watched them from starting their own buisness ventures to having a family and kids
Like literally matpat dantdm Mark and Sean made my full childhood
I'm also turning 18 this year and I felt this very personally
I’m in the same boat, I’m so glad that these people have raised me
i’m turning 20 this year and this is how i feel 🥹🥹
“I do intend on retiring at some point”
And whenever that day comes, we’ll be grateful for the many years of joy you have offered us.
Yes! 100% agree!
Yes definitely!
Stopped reading at "we'll be grateful" until I finished reading the comment.
Please don't leave us with Jack Doherty N3on and Andrew Tate.

If Jacksepticeye did retire, he should make a final video to make a remix of all the way.
Amd it's gotta be at least 168 hours long of good content
@@divinelightning6998no it should be infinite
or "get back up"
Yes.
He can’t really sing
I’m 18 now, I’ve been watching your channel from the days you were still in your shed and your first set up. I’ve literally grown up on this guy. 10/10 man loved the laughs
Retiring from UA-cam doesn't mean you'd be retiring from being you. We're all here for you, Jack. And we will continue to be. We love you 💚
this!!!
Perfectly said man
You worded it perfectly!!
That's true bro🫶🫶♥️♥️
🤦🏻♂️
All These Problems I am Also going through. I think all creators are feeling it now. Always here for you bro
Love watching you Daz. Keep it up man!
I love how all UA-camrs support eachother ❤️
Hi Daz! You are amazinggg just as sean❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥺🥺🥺
You watch him as well
Daz please remember you not only make millions of people laugh but you are a amazing example of being proud and honest and humble of who you are I’m looking forward to seeing your next off the hook and ofc primary channel ❤❤❤
Dude I'll be 22 in a couple of weeks and I've been watching you, mark and others that have retired quite a while back, for I don't know how many years. Probably started when I was around 14 and didn't really understand english all that much.
As a kind of "grown up" who has a job and lives on his own now, I really haven't been watching you or any others actively for a while, but instead went back to rewatch some older stuff.
I don't wanna say I grew out of it, but I kind of did in a good way.
And yeah, being able to understand and kinda relate to some of the things you said, it makes sense that you'll retire some day. No hard feelings. Keep it up for as long as you want to do it and don't force it is what I've learned.
Even if you'll probably never see this message, I wanna sincerely thank you for the cool time you gave me during my childhood and always putting a smile on my face back then. Cheers.
:^)
Couldn’t explain it better myself except I’m 23 😂but felt all that
Spot on, could not have put it better myself
I remember when I first subscribed to you, you had 4,000 followers. It’s been so amazing growing up with you. You helped me in some of my darkest times. You’re such an important piece of my life, I’m turning 22 this week. I’ve watched nearly every single video you’ve ever put out. Your content is great to watch no matter what the vibe is. I’m so proud of you man, you’re so inspiring. I have my fair share of mental health issues, and it makes me so happy you’ve always been so open about your own personal struggles. I love that you have breaks for yourself and I always support them. I’ll check if you’ve come back, I know for me I miss you. I always hope that you’re doing well. You’ve made such a huge impact on my life in beautiful ways. The amazing thing about you, is that no one else is like you. My whole life I’ve felt so out of place and different, but you made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Being different is your super power, no one can do this shit like you can. You helped me learn to love who I was, because if I could relate to you and the things you enjoy, then I was a pretty fucking cool person. When the day comes and you’re ready to close this chapter and begin your next, I forever support you. Thank you for everything. - Sincerely, a fan crying while typing this
LITERALLY ME, he means so much to me it's insane
Whatever you choose to do, Jack, we'll be here. Your struggle is valid, and we appreciate that you want to talk about it.
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging !!.......
@@Tiger10002 You don't even make content that needs a camera
To be honest he’s already a millionaire and has very comfortably established generational wealth so at this point it really is just about wether he enjoys making videos to decide if he retires or not.
@@arryn786Dude’s rich, he has no reason to continue making videos where he plays games he clearly does not enjoy.
@@_Cetarial Sorry but are you literate?? That’s literally what I just said like💀
-My mind's a mess and I don't know how to deal with it
I feel you Sean. I feel you
This.
100% same ❤
Me, too... Like 90% of my energy on the day-to-day goes into keeping the rolling musical dumpster fire that is my train of thought on any set of rails that isn't purely self-destructive. I could get so much more done, if only I didn't have to fight myself so hard every step of the way towards a goal.
Séan, lad, we love ya ta pieces, whatever ya do. Even when there's no new videos we've got years and years of content to watch, and all the dirty bean water in the world to fuel the watching. ❤💚💛🧡💙💜
Same. After going through a toxic family relationship all my life, being clinically depressed, digging deeper into debt, my mother being terminally ill, and getting a eviction notice on top of it all is actually killing me.
I sometimes wonder if I'm even going to make it through the rest of the month if not the rest of the year. It's just become a living nightmare.
Same
Bro. This man, dantdm, stampy, and markiplier were my childhood
same!
I can relate to the severe anxiety, ADHD and depression. I didnt know i would tear up though. Thank you for telling us that because now i know there are other people who also have all of these at once.
"when i come back from a break it feels like nobody missed me" STOP NOOO WE DO MISS U
Right!!! We did!! We just didn’t wanna put pressure on him because we all understand that he doesn’t have to upload a lot for us and has his own life :)
I'm actually waiting for a video to laugh and to be happy
He takes breaks so often now it’s hard to be excited every time he’s back
LITERALLY I ALWAYS MISS BRO 😭😭
He knows that logically I'm sure. But no amount of logic can out talk anxiety and depression, it runs alongside intrusive thinking. It's a vicious cycle.
This and Mark’s “I’m tired” vids are like the duo of giving anxiety attacks but shows just how much the world loves their content and them as people
All these youtubers quiting is a publicity stunt.
@@LukeyBoyAndTheCatlingsno when 1 person left for reasons everybody else realized they’ve been doing this for years and when others do it it’s easier to do it
@@dumpsterbabies8453 I hate that they all say they're tired.
UA-cam isn't a job it's a hobby, no one is forcing them to upload.
What also annoys me is they are literally getting paid millions of dollers to just sit there and play games.
Then there's me who's struggles to find a real job.
@@LukeyBoyAndTheCatlingsthis is a job , this is how they make money to live dude ... Do you think is all fun and games? The videos need to be edited etc
@@LukeyBoyAndTheCatlings sounds like you’re jealous and before you say it isn’t a job try doing it first
I have Bipolar Disorder and you have got me through the hardest times in Manic episodes, depressive episodes even mixed episodes. I had a feeling you've been struggling here and there ever since I started watching you at 10 years old, I'm now 21. Mental health issues are an absolute cunt to deal with (don't mind me I'm Australian), I know I get really excited when you come back from breaks and whatever else. The true supporters love you Seán, it's easier said than done but never forget you have support from supporters and even from your partner Evelyn. Lots of love from me over in Australia.
I have a similar story bipolar as well. You’ve gotten me and many others through dark times even when you were going through dark times thank you for that jack. 💜
Bro... I havent watched you in a while, i am still subscribed though!
i never knew you were feeling this down! i don't know if you remember me at all but you really helped me have happy thoughts when my life whas at its darkest.
I am sad to hear you are now feeling the same way as me. I wish i could give you half the joy that u brought me.
all i can say is remember who you are. you are jack fekkin septic eye!
You might be in the deep down dark deep dark right now.. it does get better *so they say :,)*
FOR ALL MY ANXIOUS FOLK: He says he's not retiring from UA-cam *yet.* He does wish to retire at some point but not at the moment.
Jesus Christ Jack my heart just stopped for a few seconds, oh my God...
[EDIT TO ADD] Though I put this here so my anxious folk won't have a heart attack, STILL WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND JACK NEEDS ALL OUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!
Thank you!!! SO MUCH
Doing the lord's work lol
Let's hope he doesn't upload 10 videos saying the same thing, like matpat. Bro really milked it
Heroes, capes, thank you!
ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT... Watch the entire video! What he says is really important for full context!
There are a lot of people here just saying " you scared me " or " don't fuck with me " and I understand. We love this man and his journey and will be sad to see him leave. The thing is, if it's better for Jack's health and he has other projects to keep him happy, then we should support and enjoy those as well. I've been watching for 9 years now, and with all the positive emotions this man has given, he deserves more in return.
Agreed, well said
Is it upsetting to hear? Yes, absolutely. But it is absolutely understandable, and I had sort of a feeling Jack was gonna leave UA-cam soon. But no matter what, I'm always gonna be in his corner. Till the end.
Well said, my friend!
I understand that but you know people were shocked (including me) it doesn't have to mean in "bad"way..... I would like to look at it as "People care and love this man so much." . Will it be hard to let go? Yes but, we will be there with him or be happy for him ofc- We all need a chill pill rn.👀👍🏻
Exactly, although it is upsetting he will leave soon, it's not about us, it's about his mental health.
Sean, it's honestly really encouraging to hear you talk honestly about your mental and physical health and about the stuff you're excited about creating in the future! As someone who is also an overthinker and all-or-nothing, it really resonated with me. And no matter what you choose going forward, you are an inspiration to me as I try to be creative in my spare time while also taking care of my mental health.
Praying for you and all aspects of your health. Hugs.
Jack Sean thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the amazing videos you made thought the years when I was young in 2015 I was watching your videos with a huge smile and inspiration to become a UA-camr and that happened in 2017 April I decided to upload videos Daily on YT like you did in the past I even got a pin and heart from you in 2019 about Subnautica 5 years ago on Aug 12, 2018 it ment the world to me and even boosted me more to kept on going further and further since April I finally reached the goal and my dream came true I was always watching every single one of your videos I was hesitant to comment under your videos but I wanted to come out today clear and say thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart for being a motivation Jack for a young Lad here here is to the future! my friend
This video just came out literally 10 seconds ago and I’m terrified
Ok not scared anymore😁
Same
Same 😭
Yeah I was scared
Same man same I be watching him when I was 5 years old and now I am 17 months don’t what him to go
I'm 53, no kids. I found Jack's channel way back when he was in the little wood cabin. I've absolutely loved watching him, and his channel, and his community grow so much over the years. Whatever it is he does, I'll be 100% supportive. Thank you for everything, Seán. Ag cur dea-mhéin chugat!
this right here? this is fuckin fantastic. It'll never cease to amaze me just how diverse and broad jack's fanbase is.
I miss that wood cabin. Those were the days
this warmed my heart so much
Remember his cabin tours it made me smile alot
@CamilaCabelloHavana Yeah sure, beg and try to fool your precious parents. How mature...
Man. I feel like ive grown up with this man. Found the channel in 6th grade (I think, been a long time) ive now been through highschool, 2 years of college and work full time, also diagnosed with adhd and anxiety. Super relatable video, thanks for the memories Sean, gonna be a sad time when you decide to call it a career.
Feeling that way doesnt make you any different mate. Iv been fighting off deep dark thoughts and the stupid mentality of overthinking every day of my life. I get regular moments of terror and torment and iv developed silly habits like worrying about my breathing. forcing myself to burp to the point where it hurts. Sounds ridiculous but anxiety is a horrible thing but i put all that rubbish aside and focus on caring for the people that care about me. It keeps me going. I still barely sleep and hate going outside but i pushed myself into a new job and took up therapy after years and just having someone understand the directionless thinking is great personally. I wish you all the best and just remind yourself theres billions of others out there in the world. we all go through this life together. Having emotion is a reassurance for me and should be for you too, no matter how ridiculous it can be, it shows youre human after all. My main takeaway would be regularly bring yourself back to reality whether its sitting alone or with others and remember where you are and who you are. Zoning out for years without focusing on that makes it hit harder when it does. Family and friends are everything and you can only go so low before you have to come back up again. One love, Aitch.
Dude, I m 59, and my daughter is 21. We sit for hours laughing and enjoying your videos and comedy. We appreciate you.
Today, we are watching the Hitman series of videos and spending time together. If you ever doubt you make a difference, don't, because you do. Take care of yourself and know that you do impact folks lives
My dad is 55 and I’m 21 and we watch Jack together too!
@@elleryseadust458 very nice
I'm 50, my son is 18, we are the same!
I'm 32, my son is 13, my dad is 64, we all watch Jack on our Smart TV and crack up.
We love ya Jackaboy!
It's so nice that you guys are watching yt videos with your kids. I wish my parents also did that with me. Your kids probably really love you guys for that.
I think we’ve just collectively agreed not to bug you when you take breaks because of how open you’ve been about your mental health. I know I check back almost every day, but who am I to make you feel bad about that when you do come back. I look at it more like jumping back into a conversation after a while of being away from it, and it feeling like no time has passed. Be well, and do what makes you happy Sean
This, absolutely. I never bug content creators who haven’t posted in a while because I don’t know what’s going on in their life and I’m sure they don’t need that pressure. When Sean takes a break, I assume he’s either cooking something up or taking care of himself, as he should.
Absolutely preach
this this this times a million
Exactly!! I thought we were doing the right thing by not bugging him! 😭
Which is very true, even if Jack did not post for almost a week or month, I'm not bothered like he also have some life behind that screen. So sometimes, I reminisce by watching his old content. That is why Jack, should do what makes him happy, especially now a days, with all so much struggle, content creators is not exempted, we really need a break. Also with Marki, and Pewds, maybe Pewds is best example where he only post things he like. and that is kinda refreshing. I hope Jack will find soon his answer.
I think this is normal. What happens is you now have more competitors and new content creators coming in and people start to try out other channels etc. It can also be a case of you simply being burned out or your passion is not as up there anymore. Then there's also age, not only you but those who have been watching you has also been growing older and changing so they cant no longer be the same teenager watching jacksepticeye after school because now they might have a family or other priorities.
Ultimately I think that passion is what really drives people even if there are barriers and bad days.
Hello, Sean, or the name I've been knowing you with since the day I started to watch you for the first time about 8-9 years ago (when I was in secondary school), Jacksepticeye.
This might just be one of so many comments you got and will get on this video of yours (my English sucks, sorry about that), so I doubt that you could see it, but still, let's go!
You have been one of the very important parts of my childhood, and I'm grateful for that, really, and because of that, I feel even more grateful when you share your honest thoughts with us like this.
I'm glad that you're taking care of your mental health properly, as a student studying Psychology now, and someone who's also dealing with ADHD (not clinically diagnosed yet, but I studied about it and about 90% of the symptoms matched) and depression (clinically diagnosed), I feel kind of "proud" to see the people who are important to me try their best to help themselves.
I can't say that I know you entirely, that's impossible, but I can somewhat understand how frustrating it is with your thoughts all messed up, all the anxieties and the self-hatred thoughts that you have and feel. People might told you this already, but, it's actually okay, I mean, those things are obviously not okay, but experiencing them is okay, it's the symptoms of your illness and it's not your fault, so I really hope you won't hate yourself more when you're experiencing those, especially when you're already reaching out and seeking and recieving support.
For many of us, everything you do is amazing and entertaining to watch, so it doesn't really matter if it's short episodes for each chapter of the game or a whole full gameplay all at once (as long as you still rest and take care of yourself in the making of those), we'll just devour them all (lol).
For me, I really like your commentary on the contents of the games, and really like to listen to your thoughts after the whole gameplay, for I really like to hear people's deep thoughts about something 😂
So I hope you can just continue to do whatever you want to do, however you want to do it, because you can be yourself then, and that's when it feels the most pleasant and happy for me (for us) to watch you, all happy and relaxed (or scared the shit out of you, as long as you feel happy with it afterwards)
When you need your rest, please do take it, and please know that we DO miss you and we DO want you back, but we (or at least, me) just feel happy that you can finally spend some time for yourself, so we don't tend to talk about it much when you come back, for we don't want you to feel guilty for taking the rest you need. And finally, when the time comes and you say your last goodbye (to UA-cam), we would be very gladly to let you go, because we know that it's the best choice you would made for yourself, not because that we hate you or bored of you or anything.
This rambling is long enough now, but in short, I, and we, feel grateful to have you as a part of us, of our childhood, and for that, we wish that you will always be able to choose what feels the most right to you 🥰 in both your life and career path.
the way my heart stopped
For real dude
No literally
Literally
Same
Same!
100% relate. appreciate you with being so open and hope you find your way
You and Sean are two of my favorite content creators on this platform, so much so that I feel that I have grown with the two of you. I know that you and him have most likely read comments just like this one before, but genuinely from the bottom of my heart, I am so happy to have been able to grow up consuming the art that you and him have put out over the years. It's so good to see and know that things like depression and anxiety are things that even the most seemingly invincible people can deal with.
Who tf r u
WE LOVE YOUUUU
Idk why but it hurts that you consider this “open” whereas most of us consider this normal. (Whether he said anything or not) idk I just don’t find it that deep
I recall watching yourself like 7 years ago, appreciate the hit of nostalgia for commenting :D
i feel you, sean! i hope you will figure out what you wanna do and will have fun! i love your youtube channel but im also really interested in your other projects
We love you, Jack, none of us want you to leave obviously but when it gets to the point that u need to we don't want u to feel like u have to stay
U have been amazing for so many people and u really have made differences in peoples life, u helped me get through the death of my dad, and u comforted me in my worst moments
You have made such an amazing difference in the world, in people's lives, even in Ireland (where I live) we all love u and support everything u do and we are always here for support ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My heart dude, YOU CAN’T DO ME LIKE THAT!

@@Tiger10002 I'm sorry but, who are you to suddenly make this about yourself?
"I am horrifically depressed. I mean, I'm exagerating-" is such an ADHD feeling. Like, I feel depressed but I'm also hyper, so I undermine my own sadness. Also, so many people now are putting ADHD on blast and saying it's fake, you're just lazy, everyone strugles, etc. so we end up acostumed to questioning all of our problems... It sucks. It really sucks.
I feel like I should end on a "positive" note but I couldn't really figure one out... "You're not alone" is a powerful message but also... Idk, wish I could say something else, yk? Wish there was a silver lining.
True, its like being really hyper and tired at the same time and you just cant do anything because of it
Well said
Yeah. Depression is such a hard thing to talk about. We always talk about how we were afterwards. Not during. When we really should have needed it.
It's so difficult to talk about depression or sadness. People don't really know how to respond. The US especially fucking sucks at responding to it.
But we're here for each other. There's no need to undermine yourself. You're valid.
as someone with adhd, this is exactly how i feel man
this is not exclusive to adhd stop using it as a “I’m special for xyz reason/s so i can relate” just say you can understand and feel similarly don’t relate it to your condition
Thanks Sean, I appreciate these kind of honest videos from seasoned creators. A lot of younger/new UA-cam creators don't understand how hard it is and how long it sometimes takes to be successful, like they expect quick income-sustaining-career-level success but don't understand the difficulties of oversaturation, algorithm, stress/mental health, etc. And they end up absolutely hating what they once loved.
Love you buddy.
Im 23 and my dad passed away from fentanyl 4 years ago, i know how it feels for someone to talk ill on your dad after they passed.
Your not alone buddy, I promise you it gets better.
Do you bossman and post whatever you want, we are here for YOU.
Man, it's so incredibly validating to hear Sean talk about his mental health and how it affects him. Him saying that he gets an idea, but he doesn't have the energy or focus to see that idea out is how I live my everyday life. It's so hard to be creative when you never want to create.
Just wanna tell you, Sean, that we're there for you. You've been there for us for over a decade. Thank you for being a voice to feelings so many of us share.
Really well said man. I related to him so much when he mentioned the feelings of self-doubt, and how he both wants to do sth but doesn't have the motivation and energy to do it (for some this may sound contradictory but I gotta say, this is definitely a feeling that plagues many of of these days) I was honestly taken aback by how vulnerable and open he was in this video, and it's not like he wasn't in other videos he posted about his personal life, but this felt a little different. Like he wasn't specific when detailing his struggles but he mentioned so many of them that I honestly had to think about what it's really like for a youtuber to constantly and forcefully have to be conscious of viewers and their views towards oneself, and how that could easily branch out into various kinds of negative thoughts that we would never even imagine that that person would go through. I could tell he was holding back some emotion when explaining some of his mental struggles too
Sean, if you're reading this, I've thoroughly enjoyed ur content ever since I was in middle school and I still do. I've always been happy to see your personality shine, and your distinctive interest and attention to detail as you play/review games. If you feel the need to rest and focus on other things in your life, we absolutely support it man. And just know that many others like me have, and will, continue rooting for you and are always happy to see that blue dot appear on your channel icon.
Take care champ~!!!
@@andrewkong7676 Very eloquently put. Trying to wrangle my mind enough to do college while also working, doing art to stimulate my mind, staying healthy, and taking breaks for myself is too many spoons. I have like 3 when I need at least 10 in a day.
@@ifandomluver9575 Hashtag relatable indeed. We all have our own similar yet different struggles I guess
Jacksepticeye content I enjoy: Jack having fun (especially if he’s having fun with friends)
“I’m having a good time!” is my favorite line.
it's the best when it's just him and friends messin around
I know! I just want to know he's enjoying the content he's putting out.
Yes, I miss seeing him playing with Mark and Wade 😭
Such fun times ❤
Always the best seeing him have fun.
The phasmophobia playing with Mark, Wade and Bob, he seemed so happy and that makes us happy. I think he needs to focus on being happy rather than making us happy cause the happier he is, the happier we are. Also when he says 'that's so cool' it seems like he's enjoying himself doing something, and it's great. We love you and the work you do Sean, that's why we're always here.
We’re just glad you were online making content. I will never be able to appreciate you as a full-fledged person, because all I have known is your content, and that is everything I CAN know about you… but in New Year’s week of 2022/2023, you saved my life by making Life is Strange content a long long while ago. Your hobby was the beginning of my whole metamorphosis. You only dilly-dallied around, and somehow it turned my whole world upside down in the most beautiful and bizarre way. I finally found myself having emotions and getting new knowledge and being able to analyze characters again. Max Caulfield (and some of the content I saw about her VA tbh) helped me to unmask my awkward Autistic traits and they eventually saved me because I had suppressed so many mentalities that were useful and altruistic and intelligent and helped people. I learned the same stuff from you for ages beforehand, because you had a little wisdom integrated into your content and reminded me of my own suppressed autistic traits with your way of thinking and expressing yourself. I figured out how sad it was that I hated myself for things that were absolutely lovely when you and Max Caulfield did them. I started to have nothing but pride for traits I used to hate myself for. I couldn’t hate myself for them anymore because that would have made me hate people I grew to love so much.
I don’t know where I would have been if you weren’t here. I don’t think I would still have been here, not because of my own actions, but because I literally was not in control of the danger of my situation and I was so deep in my depression/disability that nothing would have been able to motivate me to get out. I would have had no motivator to save my own life if I didn’t come across your content of Life is Strange, because I just started wanting to play the game so much. It’s how I got my apartment. I just wanted to play what JackSepticEye played!
I hope you have felt the same way on UA-cam, I hope this time has served you a sh8t ton of love and I hope you have had moments where a positive domino impact was made on your life because of people who are just dilly dallying around.
If it’s okay, I personally hope you don’t delete your videos once you retire. I can be complacent with it if you decided not to post any more because you’re such an important person and your health means more than your content.
But your content was the way my life was saved. And so many other people…. And to be honest, if you wanted to take your videos down, I fully support that, too. It’s your decision, I’m just voicing my own hopes. You deserve the freedom to choose what you think is best.
You deserve to focus on your in-person family and friends, Jack. One day, I hope you turn to a life surrounded by people who know you as a whole person, since I assume that you know something of the “loneliness of fame”.
Take care of yourself ♥️
All I can say is thank you for being an influence for so many of us here. I've been here around the channel since Happy Wheels and I know for a fact that you made my childhood great now im 23 and I still love seeing videos from you especially ones that's 7 or 9 years ago and even now . Just know you put smiles on everyone here. And when it comes to videos, do what you believe would give a kid hope or something, but again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and from everyone else who watch your videos just know we love you Sean. Again, thank you for making my teenage years great. A great big top to the morning to ya. I love the videos. Thank you, and never forget that you changed people for the better, and the ones that were on the last legs ended up getting better from watching your videos. Thank you so much.
I remember ken saying in one of his uploads, "That's the problem of content creators right now, they get exhausted because they try to appeal with the audience and the algorithm. I stopped caring about it and did the things that I wanted with my channel. I am content with my numbers on every video whether they do well or not. I stopped caring about it and it shows in my videos"
I hope you will soon find your peace. I really love watching your videos Jack. Get well soon. ❤
That's the thing I don't get with some of these guys.
They have so much money. It's not a concern. They could retire today and live their lives in luxury, never working a day o their lives ever again. If you still wanna create and post videos? Cool. Do it. Post as much or as little and whatever you want. Don't sweat the numbers. Do it for you.
what ken? kfc clash?
@@strangecanine537 I think CinnamonToastKen
@@emmy4691 Do you have a different account for uploading and viewing? Because I saw no videos on this account. Just curious.
Nonetheless, I hope I can be content with it soon. But it's getting to the point where I'm ready to give up. Just on this platform. Cuz I'm getting sick and tired of people gaslighting me saying it's not the algorithm. Meanwhile I upload some bitch you where I do much better where there's no algorithm whatsoever.
Just be clear, technically speaking that's not a good thing. Technically speaking the lack of an algorithm should be doing a disservice to my content. Because without an algorithm there's no curation. With no curation it means the only way I can notice by new people is if I have to upload at the right time. And when I say the right time I literally mean the right time of day, let's say 5:00 p.m. in the evening when people are up but at home and relaxing. Videos on that platform's homepage are in order of what's been uploaded that minute to what's been uploaded throughout the day.
And somehow I'm doing 10 times better on a platform with no algorithm then I do on UA-cam for the 3 years I've been on both platforms. My contact is on this account by the way if you want to check the numbers.
Play let it be known that I might just have to subscribers, but viewers and all in all general engagement. So do not be confused by my 120 plus subscribers. Cuz not a goddamn one of those people watch me and I don't even know why the hell they even subscribed., they're probably not even getting any notifications so they think I have it uploaded in months or years. 😑 The more I'm on this platform the more and more subscribers become absolutely pointless. The number of people subscribers completely meaningless. Whatever your engagement rates are at, clearly if you're happy enough to be content with them then that's great man. Good for you.
Yeah this is what i'm saying, they're making it seem like a deliberate 9 to 5 "job" to be a UA-camr.
_They didn't have to have a schedule,
They didn't have to have a high production quality,
They didn't have to have a "TOS-Riding Personality,"
And they didn't have to go anywhere to meet the potentially psychopathic parasocial fans._
And yet we're supposed to believe that we're doing this to him? *_I am supposed to believe that I am doing this to him??_* Please.
They put these standards into themselves, and while understandable, in the long run. Is it worth it?
Ask yourself when you're working in Disney world, is it worth it? Or are you going to call that a _9-5 job_ that you chose?
Hi Sean, I’m one of MANY voices here. But I just want you to know WE DO miss you when you take breaks. I just think there’s a different culture where people understand that putting stress on a creator when they need breaks. We WANT you to take your breaks when you need them. Your mental health is FAR MORE important than the fun videos you make for us.
As a fellow clinically ill human, I truly feel your struggles in that department. It can be so soul crushing at times it hard to look outside. I have GAD, panic disorder and OCD. Those have been so debilitating I haven’t been able to work. Your videos bring me a bright spot.
I wish you all the best, and I thank you for bringing me some joy on dark days. Sending you many hugs. You got this dude. ❤️
This one!!!!
I'm 50 years old and I watched my kids watch you, I love your Goat Simulator videos and many other things you have done. My grandson and I now watch your videos together, especially the LAUGH ones. I wish you all the best in life and I hope your fans understand that there comes a time when you have to put yourself and your family 1st. So, I thank you for the fun times you gave me with my kids and grandson. ❤
whenever you do retire, thank you for being an inspiration to my and my sister, life wouldent have been the same without ya.
im extremely grateful that i found your channel 9 years ago and ive loved every video since. thanks for everything
Broke my heart when he said how he feels like no one misses him when he takes a mental break. Im constantly checking to see how hes doing and if hes back from his break cause I know he needs them. Jack I love you and your amazing. I can't believe I've been watching you for almost 7 years though!
Sean, I’ve been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety. The fact you sit here and make these videos despite those struggles is strong. I’ve grown up with you. When you do decide to retire, I’m 100% support. You’re strong. You’re doing things well. Proud of you, man. Thank you for the childhood.
he sits here making millions thats probably why he still does it
@@znrsa💀💀💀💀 yeah fr lmfao
I hope that you get the love and support that you deserve orangedjuices
@@znrsaMfker dosent understand depression
As someone that also has MDD and anxiety, I couldn't have said it better
You and mark. Though I’ve never met you. You are my biggest hero’s. You have inspired me so much and molded the person I am today. I’ve been watching for 9 years now. And absolutely love you two no matter what. When you do retire, hoping no time soon. I’ll miss you. You guys are literally heros to me. Thank you.
Im 21 in 5 months. I've never really watched you until i really started my adult life. But my best friend and i litterally watch you for HOURS on end (totally sober;)).
The reason i like you is because you play the games that you're interested in and you enjoy them.
I think retiring is entirely your choice no matter what others say, and retiring is something all people will experience at some point.
Make videos because you want to, not because of others say you should
Personally, I think most of the response to the notion of Sean quitting comes from a good place but is the wrong way to react. Unnus Annus showed us and told us that this WILL end, it was the whole point of the channel, and MatPat solidified it for me cause I think some of us didn’t really take that message to heart. I started watching when I was end of middle school start of high school and now I’m getting a masters in grad school, it’s been roughly a decade for me with JackSepticEye so of course it’s going to end and end relatively soon most likely. Whether it be a year from now or two. Instead of panicking and praying Sean stays, we should listen and be sympathetic because I doubt anyone here dismisses the fact that UA-cam as a career demands a lot and takes quite a toll. Nothing lasts forever, especially in media creation or on the internet in general. At the end of the day, all we can do is support Sean in whatever endeavour he embarks on whether it be continuing JackSepticEye or moving on to new horizons. Don’t be sad it’s over, smile because it happened.
Preach! 💚
Not much more than any other job that people do till theyre 60s or more lol makes no sense to stop his job just cause its youtube
Well said.
Sorry but to a degree saying "we should just support them no matter what" is the wrong the massage I love Jack but he is a content creator so when the content is done he's out of our lives. Sad af to admit but it's the truth. Similar to mat, it just makes me wish the theory Channels ended with him now they're just a bummer and sad reminder
@rae4166 literally... like I can understand mental health but like it is a job and idk how people in Jack's place that make like 3 vids a month even wanna quit.. properly gonna run out the savings that way too tbh
"I do intend on retiring at some point"
Thanks for the heads up Sean, we are so happy you have brought so much joy into our lives
He isn't immortal. He would eventually leave youtube, and even if youtube is immortal, not the creators.
@@pretendtheresaname6144 thats deep....i luv it
ytb is immortal

In death he go to heaven
WHO ASKED + MY CONTENT IS WAY BETTER
Much respect to you Sean. There is absolutely nothing wrong with needing to take a step back, take alook at your life and re-evaluate what you want out of it. Which can be that much harder when dealing with mental health at the same time. It's hard to see what you want and what feels good to you when all you feel is bad most if not all of the time. It takes time to look at the "why" you feel bad? Is it something you can fix? And slowing down to build your self back up takes time.
Whatever you decide to do i wish you the best with your future endeavours and that you take good care of yourself going forward 👍
When I was in middle school I struggled a lot to find a place where I belong, but whenever I watched you everyday I got to forget about life and just enjoy myself and watch someone who has an incredible personality. I thank you jacksepticeye for being there for our childhoods and giving us someone to look up to and a place to get away from life ❤
"I just think the personality type that I have and the way my brain works struggles quite a bit with just existing." god, i feel that
I think we all do. Hopefully it's more comforting than diminishing to say; it's not as rare as people seem to think. Everything he described going through felt very familiar, and I suspect most of us are more similar than we'd ever thought before he opened up about it.
I love how candid and vulnerable you are. You’ve set such a high standard, not just for the UA-cam community and your influence on prioritizing mental health, but also the standard you’ve within viewers that it’s OKAY to feel and be vulnerable. You’re so brave and real every time.
i argge
After seeing so much love, humility and humanity in you and all of your work over the years, helping me through so much of my own mental anguish, abuse and other health issues; it has helped me feel very seen and heard even just watching along in a sea of viewers. Finding quiet time and comfort in watching your videos and streams, especially when im struggling has been something i will be forver grateful for. So thank you for all the sacrifices youve made and energy youve given to everything you do over the years. Youll always be loved appreciated and respected by the people youve connected with for all these years on the channel, you deserve your peace and quiet too when youre ready to step back. Thank you Sean❤
Don’t go jack you helped me through so many things I started watching you when I was young and now I just turned 20 you mark and all the others help me laugh when my grandpa was in the hospital I will always be thankful I love you guys and I love you
I want to level with you: Your perception of our feelings is skewed by internal paranoia. Sean, I want you to know that we miss you consistently when you're gone. I don't want to speak for everyone, but I see so much love in the community you've built and so much support that makes me confident in saying that you are missed dearly when you go.
Not only that, but the content you want to upload is beloved by all of us. Yes, I might not finish your Bloodbourne video, but so what? So many people did, and I enjoyed what I saw. But that doesn't matter because YOU were passionate about that, and that MATTERS. Knowing you are happy with your content is all we could ask for.
I am SO GLAD you have other outlets that fulfill you in life. I just hope when you upload here, you do it because you want to, not because you feel like you HAVE to.
We understand, love, and support you always.
Absolutely this! When Jack isn’t around, it just feels like when a really good friend has moved far away. I don’t get locked on to creators parasocially, but Seán is one of the few who have instilled a real deep caring for his health and safety. I really hope he doesn’t for a while, but when he does retire, the internet will mourn his channel, but we’ll celebrate his massive accomplishments and everything he’s done for us.
👏
@@TheRealWoofer Exactly bro, i was just talking to my friend about this, i feel like so many of his fans (including myself) consider him family. For a lot of people he literally raised/supported us sm, his happiness is all that matters when it comes down to it.
Amazing!!
I'm sure he knows that it's not wholly rational to feel unmissed, hince what he said 'feels like'. But at the end of the day I'm sure its hard to truley feel missed by people you've never met in the type of enviorment youtube creates. The seperationof auidence and consumer is good to have to some extent. But when you struggle with anxiety or depression related negative self images and thoughts, stuff like that can be just another thing for it to latch onto, regardless of the reality. Plus with an auidence this huge I can't imagine the edgelord hate comments are easy to brush off, no matter how hard you try sometimes stuff just gets stuck in your brain.
I am 38 years old. There is no one around me in my age range, save for my boyfriend, who shares my interests, video games, raunchy corny amazing jokes. Its very very lonely. Your content is like spending time with a friend. It reminds me that I'm not alone. There are people like me and its okay to enjoy the things I enjoy. Watching you, and Mark, and Arin and Dan, and Rhett and Link, help me to be okay being happy with the nerdy, silly, "childish" humor and content that I like. Liking games and silliness isnt childish and other adults enjoy it too. So thank you for being a core reason that i dont feel so alone. Thank you.
There is a million people who are 38 years old just go to a bar you'll find tons of friends
@@S-420 the people hanging out at the bar are never the type of people i want to be friends with. Bars are boring
You dont have to make friends in just your age group but I do understanding wanting to have friends close to your age i feel the same way but just know your not alone and there are people out there just like you who like the same things you do or have the same sense of humor as you do and people who like watching UA-cam or watching the same kind of things you like to watch and playing similar games like you. I'll be 24 in june but i understand the way you feel and you are seen and also not alone😊🤪🥰
@@skye1038 There are tons of people like you, it's all about finding them! Join groups of people in your area with similar interests (online groups, physical events like cons etc)
Im 38 and disabled its also very lonely so i totally get where you’re coming from ❤
You are a part of my childhood Jack and your old content and the things you love to do are what matter to me and others like me, we just enjoy you brother. I'm 22 now and my childhood is behind me but when I want a taste of that simpler time, the mindless fun, and the joy I look to your videos and Mark's. Thank you for existing and I'm sorry you're struggling but know that you are loved ❤
When I moved back home Jack and I was struggling to life adjusting feeling like a loser … I would put on your streams and have you in the background like a friend accompanying me as I did the most basic things - chores, selfcare and most importantly - when I was dreading working from home and trying out new things I felt I was too old to get into.
You being “noisy” and “loud” kept me at ease … I can’t explain why. I loved your storytelling playthroughs, it really helped me quiet my mind to warching your videos to sleep when my mind was racing at night and I was suffering from chronic insomnia because I was thinking about how to sustain myself, how to take care of the loved ones I had on my back, how to get through to the next day…
I hope you see this and realize that there are people like me who find you as a comfort in this world. And whatever you do - I’d probably be into it 😅😅😅 and that someone like you can create such great content while battling all these demons is ever so inspiring for someone who is both clinicalt anxious and depressed.
I got up, saw the notification, and sat back down
Me too. Haven't even left my bed for morning coffee yet, and nothing comes between me and my coffee....except for this video obviously 🤣
Thanks for opening up Sean. You are so appreciated by so many of us, we aren’t always vocal about it but I promise you that we’re here! There’s so many of us who adore you and will enjoy whatever you put out :)

I watch you for over 9 years. I don't have anything to say but good luck. Good job. Keep your mental health straight
I’ve been watching you for years probably since I was like 12. I’m 21 now and your videos still give me joy, I put them on all the time to help my concentrate as background noise. I’ve also really admired how transparent you’ve been about your struggles and as someone who also has adhd, I couldn’t imagine trying to do what you do. Best of luck for the future, I’m keen to see what it brings for you!
Im definitely more of a quiet follower. i dont normally comment on videos, but i feel like i should say something now.
We all love you Jack, we care about you and just want to see you happy. If youtube doesnt make you happy anymore, i personally would much rather see you doing other things.
I would absolutely LOVE to support you in your other adventures, granted im not a MASSIVE fan of coffee, BUT i do have family that is 😅.
Im really glad you spoke out on this and gave us a bit of a headsup on where you are, youve grown so much over the years and Im glad I got to be a part of it.
Thank you Jack for everything you've done and given to us, we all love you and want the best for you. And Im sure wherever you go, the support will be there ❤️.
Yes!
Same here :]
Well said
Completely agree
Thanks for commenting this!
Unus Annus has already taught me not to get too attached to anything because a lot of things don't last.
in the end Sean should and likely will move on to the next step in his life, and true fans will be very happy for him
That was the true purpose of Unus Annus. Preparing up for the inevitable-seeing people and creators many of us have known for years leave. These wonderful creators know almost none of us, and yet they feel like trusted friends to their viewers. It sucks because you realize the connection you have with these people is kept up completely by them, and there’s nothing you can do to get them to stay in your life once they decide to leave.
Momento mori, friend…
Well personally Unus Anus didn't teach me anything but ok 😂😂😂
Cringe
@@IcycleBicycle then I think you missed the point. Obviously the majority of the content was silly nonsense, but from the very start the idea of the channel was founded on its impermanence. It’s going to leave in exactly one year. Just like how our favorite creators will eventually grow tired and leave too. There might not be a clock to mark the end of their channels, but a timer is ticking nonetheless. For a lot of them, it’s gone off now.
as sad as it will be to see you leaving, it's wonderful that you think about and take careof your own happiness and mental health
Im so grateful for all of the time and effort you have put into UA-cam Sean. When you leave we will miss you greatly but im sure wherever you end up we will still look for your creativity in the world. I love how loud and energetic you are.
As a fan i hope you feel fulfilled, happy, healthy and loved in whatever you decide to do.
The last part Sean said of " my minds a mess and I don't really know how to deal with it most of the time" definitely resonates with me. Honestly I've been watching this channel for years now. Always enjoyed how down to earth and open Sean has been, especially about mental health. Life can get draining.
Either way we'll be here for him. It feel weird in a way like we've been friends for the longest time. So I can't blame em if they want to move on but I'll still be here for em.😅
I relate with that a LOT as well. I feel like I'm constantly a mess. It's pretty self-inflicted because of my actions though. I need to work on myself more.
Jack became more and more relatable the more he talked in this video. Made me cry a little just listening to someone with similar issues.

It is so, so difficult to maintain a passion you adore without letting it slip away into an obsession and eventually into something you hate or that traps you; becoming blindsided with "Well, I love to do this!" or "this is what im good at" will only suffocate you further.
Don't be afraid to step away, even if not in totality. You have hundreds of thousands of people that will support your decisions, either way. The internet is an evil place that sucks people in, don't be afraid to leave it.
I'd like to see a miniature painting vid like unboxing, sanding/cleaning, then painting. Maybe even friend group vids because then you have a support group & entertainment. I'm only throwing options to hopefully ease the burden so it's more fulfilling & less of a hassle. Plus with the creator groups it makes it easier to make a time management schedule because now it's when everyone's schedule lines up.
I’m a pretty silent enjoyer of your channel, but I just want to say that I always look forward to your videos! Your personality is just right up my alley and I just love seeing you appear on my screen. I’m glad the time for you to go isn’t yet and that I have more time to spend with you and your videos.
Screw the algorithm and just do what you love. Those who love you and appreciate you and these videos will stay. Even if you don't make videos as often doing what you enjoy and taking care of yourself is the biggest thing. Just remember we love you jack and everything you do.
🫡
Screw the algorithm!
While I agree with the sentiment, the problem is that he does UA-cam full time for a job. He relies on the monetization which means his videos have to perform well. Being a full time UA-camr does require meeting a middle ground of making algorithm friendly content that you also enjoy making. If you purely make what you want to make, but people won’t watch it, you risk your livelihood. It’s an unfortunate reality of making a living off UA-cam
@@ThirdEchoMediaYou don't think he's well off as it is? At this point, monetization and revenue are not an issue.
@@ThirdEchoMedia he has been doing incredibly well of for many years now, he should have money to last his life time easily without worry. The main issue is his pride or ego being damaged by seeing his channel lose more and more viewers. He should learn from pewdiepie and markiplier because both has been losing views for a long time as well but it doesnt bother them at all
The thing I have always admired and respected of you is your genuineness and openness, and with this video you made me cry - because I totally get you. I mean, I'm not a youtuber or anyone others would look up to, but I do struggle in my life with the very same issues as you do; depression, anxiety, all or nothing -mindset.. it's all here, too. And I want you to know, you are enough. You are always, always enough, more than that, even; even when it doesn't feel like it. There are so many people who feel better because of you, because of what you do, me being one of them. But I also understand the need to step away from some things and find out new paths; and I wish you will find the joy and meaning into your life and work, and whenever it is time, you'll go adventuring the way that makes your heart happy - we will always be grateful of these years with you nonetheless.
ive been watching you since i was 10. i turned 19 last month and im at university. you helped me through years of torment at school being bullied for being the autistic kid. you made me happy. its now time for you to give yourself a break and make yourself happy,, youve been keeping us smiling for years and we will be with you supporting you whatever happens
Please don't delete any of your videos when you do chose to retire! While you're on break, while you're enjoying an extra day for yourself. I have throughly enjoyed your old videos time and time again. Now a days when i see you post a bee video its like "Oh! Jack made a new video!"
I'm the same age as you are! And my sister introduced me to your videos when you had just moved from the cabin! It was wild to think that we"re the same age and to see how you've grown, and how you've changed me as adults!
I have your PMA merch!
And honestly it would be AMAZING if you pushed out that merch again!
I know everyone says "This cured my depression!" But that PMA pin & Tshirt i have, make me smile no matter how bad my days feel!!
I always thought you were like Robin Williams, and i was like "i dont understand how this man is so positive & so full of energy all the time!" And wow! It's comforting a bit to hear that you have depression. (Thats so fucked up to say isnt it)
Somtimes its nice to just lay in your bed, breath and feel your blankets under you. Just breath & listen to the sounds around you.
It really helps when depression starts getting harder to deal with.
We're all here for you! Wither you make more content or if you just cruise and enjoy life.❤
We all love you Seán!
yes i was gonna say this! even when jack retires i will continue rewatching old content he released.
X2
I don’t think he would do that. Don’t worry. He knows how much people care about him and he’s made a lot of good memories with the videos, he would want them to stay.
I have never heard of a Creator ever doing this ever. Why would he delete his videos? And no Unas Anus (I don't remember how it's spelled) is not a good example. That's what channel about & that was part of the whole point of the channel. Not everything lasts forever and they were supposed to be deleted to represent that. It was literally part of the project in representing what the channel was about.
Otherwise, just wiping somebody's entire Channel after turning it into a career and retiring it's not something really anybody does. The only one who does that is UA-cam themselves and that's only if they get too many unfair guideline or copyright strikes.
Rest assured, we mean “take your time” as in, you do what you need to do for you and your mental health Sean! We still check everyday for an update but we don’t feel the need to pressure you while you’re needing a break. ❤ We love you Sean! I’m glad we still have you a while longer.
I started watching this channel about when the Turbo Dismount series started, I think I was like 14 and now I'm 23, going into the game dev industry and the way your personality and content has grown has made you the only channel that I used to watch back then that I can still enjoy as I've matured.
The clip of the crowd was literally me 😭😭😭 I was so scared. You and Mark are the only reason I even watch UA-cam anymore and I would be so crushed to lose you guys. Regardless of what you guys do, I'll always support it of course! But I don't know if I'm ready yet lol. I would mourn your channel as if I lost a close friend. It's been really rough these past years, but watching you guys flourish and achieve so much has been every reason to keep trying to achieve my goals. Thank you for being you!
THIS
I think the good in all of this is, I don't think Mark is CAPABLE of leaving youtube. His personality just wouldn't allow it, he can't LOSE to the youtube, he'd sooner make his own UA-cam than stop making videos.

I’ve watched your ups and downs throughout the years, and while I look forward to your content and am constantly watching old playthroughs, if you’re not happy, this is your life, not ours. If you leave, we will miss you terribly, but don’t keep going to the detriment of your happiness. You have THIRTY MILLION SUBSCRIBERS for a reason. You are loved and wanted. Please don’t doubt that. It breaks my heart hearing how hard you are on yourself. You genuinely have one of the best channels on UA-cam, and are a wonderful person. Please don’t misread our comments of understanding when you need breaks as us not caring. We care about you a lot, Sean. Ugh god I remember the comments about your dad. Can’t even imagine how that felt. I’m so sorry. ❤️ we will support you in whatever direction you go in.

I've been watching your content for years and you have always been such a fun and inspiring person to watch. Even in my hardest moments, watching your videos always made me feel better. I feel like we are friends even though we've never met and you retiring would definitely be heart breaking. However, I know that you will do amazing in whatever you decide to do because you are such an amazing and kind person and your happiness should always be the most important thing. We love you sean and wish nothing more but your happiness and peace in life!! 💚
I feel some of this a lot, I'm around and following lots of artists, from youtubers to illustrators and writers and it feels like so many people are struggling.
It's sad that people write such insensitive/horrible stuff. Tbh I think that says more about themselves than it says about whoever they're following, cause they could simply follow something they like instead.
I personally like these more thoughtful videos you do occassionally do, it feels so relatable.
It's good to hear you're doing something for yourself and finding ways to deal with everything and improving on things.
While I'm probably more of a visitor than a biggest fan I am happy to hear you will be staying still, there's many games I wouldn't even have heard about without your channel and it's nice.
So kudos and a good day :)
I can’t count the hours I’ve spent watching your videos. I checked my subscription tab every day to see if you had posted something. Reading the title of this video almost gave me a heart attack not gonna lie. You’re amazing Jack, for everything you do. We appreciate you SO SO SO much! Thank you for existing and making people happy.

Even though I’m also a silent fan (too shy to comment, couldn’t always afford merch or attend shows), the impact of your channel and style of content has and will always be felt on UA-cam. You were one of the originals, up there alongside Jenna, Mark, Felix, MattPat, and all the rest. Change is terrifying and seeing all the ogs slowly retiring and stepping away from the spotlight is such an indescribable feeling. There’s so much grief because we all grew up together, built a community, and watched you grow as well. But there’s also acceptance because we knew this wouldn’t and couldn’t last forever. Everything comes to an end and we understand completely that you need to move onto the next chapter. It’s so easy to get stuck in a cycle, but it takes so much strength and courage to move forward. We love you and we’ll miss you when the day comes, Sean. Just please stay healthy and be around for a long time. We’ll support you in whatever and wherever you go. ❤❤❤
Never be shy to comment, ignore the people who hate on you and focus on the people who relate and love with you.

I have ADHD, anxiety and depression my brain is a mess all the time. It's hard to always compare yourself to everyone else I'm a perfectionist as well so I will get completely paralyzed by fear or doing something wrong.
I'm a 23 year old girl with ADHD and I truly, truly get what you're saying. I know exactly what headspaces we spiral into. It was like you were echoing the same words I've used to explain to my friends what was going on inside my head. You existing as a content creator and talking about your mental health so openly means a lot to us, because it's very reassuring to see that people at different ages and different points in their career having similar challenges.
I didn't watch your content as a kid because I was never a gamer girl, but I have gotten into your horror gameplays over the last few years. You probably already know this, but just to say it again, your audience can shift and grow as your content changes, you have nothing to prove anymore. You can just do what you like even if it doesn't get as many views as before, as long as it finds you the community you enjoy.
There's something very comforting about ADHD UA-camrs because it truly feels like watching the inside of your own head. It doesn't feel overstimulating, it hits the right spot. Everything you say, every reaction you have is a mirror of the one inside my head, so watching your content quietens the noise in mine just for a little bit. And I wanted you to know that, not because I'm asking you to stay, but because I want you to know that your content isn't just entertainment for us. Your existence as a person is comforting to those of us who feel that sense of kinship you do when you find someone like yourself.
I hope you continue getting better, I know how much therapy and medication has helped me. If you never do youtube again, that would be completely fine, but also if you just want to check in like once a year sharing something fun about your life, a lot of us would still be here for that. You can think of your post youtube career as a bit like adult friendships after people move away, having catchups when convenient. But either way, most of your audience only wants you to be happy and healthy. And as someone with ADHD/anxiety/depression, I can tell you that things, surprisingly, do get better with change, sometimes when you least expect it.
i’ve been watching you for 10 years, that’s almost your entire youtube career. That’s nearly half of my life. I’m turning 22 this year and i’m so happy i’ve been able to grow with you. Thanks for always being there Sean 💜🤲🏼
I'm 38 years old, and you have really helped me explore my mental health. It's folks like you that really have helped normalize men taking control of our mental health on this platform. Thank you for the journey. The world needs more people like you.
Yes!! So good on him for sharing about this. I'm so glad he's helping men feel more comfortable with mental health. That is so important. ❤️
Your slower content is the best content you've ever made. I don't want you overworked. I want comfy, rich, fun-loving Sean.
You don't need to worry about algorithmic compliance. Just do you.
If there was ever a time where you could afford to be yourself, it's right now.
I 100% agree the long play throughs are perfect 👌
I just want to hug him and tell him it's going to be fine!
2014-2017 vids were much better
We love you man and will support you always but man will your content will be missed when you retire 😭
To get this out of the way first, I have always enjoyed your content no matter how long it took to make that content, even if it was a notification to say you WERENT making content. I slowly stopped watching because I went from a kid to an adult and no longer have the time but this video came out and I watched it through my ADHD, and still enjoyed it. I don't think any content you make from here until retirement will get old, genuinely.
It also reminds me that I'm a little bummed I may never get the chance to personally meet you since I will never have the chance to save money or travel anywhere. I envy the people that did immensely.
Man, I remember the dad memes, and it pissed me off so much. My dad also passed, and I was so upset for you having to deal with that pain and dumbass people on top of it. Im glad it's finally passed, and you are finding a good mental health path for yourself. I enjoy any content you make, and your coffee is one of my favorite ones. Just live every day the best you can, and I hope you find a path that you enjoy.
My dad passed 2 weeks after his.
Watching the way people treated him broke me, no one deserves that.
Ah dude. A random stranger like me leaving a UA-cam comment isn't gonna do anything for you but I've been watching you for so long, almost from the start. I've seen the different styles you do and I like them all. I'll always watch no matter what and when you quit youtube I'll still watch all your vids. Night in the woods is like my special I watch many times a year. I enjoy listening to the podcast too. You do you man, you do you.
Jacks play through of NITW was great..
It's comforting to come back too
I truly think this is part of the reason as wholesome as it is. He loves his community, but as an adhd person its incredibly hard to have the compassion to talk with everyone
I remember the first time I came across one of your videos. It was the episode of your Skate 3 series when you miracle whip’d the shark and I knew I was hooked. I always feared the day would come but I know whenever it does, it was needed and I will always respect it. Much love Sean 🫶🏽
This actually broke me. If you want to take a break for your mental health, we will be here when you come back. We love you Seán.
There’s going to be a day when he won’t come back. And that’s okay.
I'm so glad you addressed early in the video that you weren't retiring YET. It will be a sad, sad day whenever it happens, but I will continue to look forward to your videos in the meantime. Thanks for everything you do! You are loved ❤
You are SO important to us (well, me at the very least) Jack, take care of yourself and do whatever makes you happy. I have enjoyed your content for a pretty long time already even though I never comment on anything ever (cause I'm badly depressed and anxious too and I think my words are not worth anything), but I LOVE listening you talk about stuff. You're so kind and wise. It might be a depression and anxiety thing but I've noticed some similarities to myself that you seem to want to keep people around you happy, probably cause you know how it is when you're feeling low. I can only imagine what it's been like having people around the world watch your stuff and comment all kinds of things on everything, but I can imagine not many of us would've survived that. I know I wouldn't have. You're so strong and kind and seem like such a good person, I wish you all the best. We LOVE you!
ps. just please don't do what Jenna Marbles did and just disappear, I don't think my heart can take another hit like that lol
You're my comfort channel. From hours of watching who you are, were and have grown to be, your humour, your kindness, you're the best kind of human. 😊
I relate to so much regarding the anxiety, depression, catostrphizing, adhd, all-or-nothing stuff. Strange how people living very different lives can have very similar experiences.
Very true, it's like that everyday is struggle hahaha
I am right there with you both. I have a lot of the same issues and the catostrophisizing especially hits VERY VERY close to home.
Sean! I relate so heavily with the ADHD portion. ADHD brains don't receive dopamine the way neurotypical brains do. We aren't motivated by the success of a task, we're motivated by oppurtunity and competition. We rely on procrastination and pressure to motivate us. It's extremely exhausting, especially since we live in a world where being motivated by such things isn't the norm and not socially accepted. In fact, the economy and social structure brutually beats down everyone who lacks the executive function neurotypical people have. Being forced to do things we don't want to do is makes everything 10x worse too. So if you retire sooner rather than later, we will be sad, but we will also be so happy for you because you're doing what's absolute best for you. I hope you know we aren't greedy consumers that demand content from you, we are a community that cares about your well-being first and foremost (in the least parasocial way possible haha)
Yup and the chronic stress makes us physically sick too. I have multiple chronic conditions, as if being AuDHD wasn’t bad enough 😅😂
@@PucaFlea omg you’re so right. I use to get consistently sick with cold symptoms because I was so insanely stressed while I was in high school. Then, nearing graduation, I got strep throat three months in a row. Pretty much as soon as I graduated, I haven’t had strep or a single cold (I’ve have Covid tho lol) Not to mention I have Eczema which always flares when I get anxious and stressed :(
Omg what you said makes so much sense. I have ADHD too, and I have a tendency to do the exact same thing you described.
Are y’all all being serious rn? Cause I’ve been like this for years and these symptoms have started popping up more and more, I’ve never even once considered that it could be because of ADHD, might have to get that checked out…
@@TheeCashMoney yup, those are ADHD symptoms. Theres a difference between hyperactive ADHD and inattentive ADHD. If you have a hard time getting motivated to start a task or feel like you’re “lazy” it could definitely be caused by ADHD. For years, I thought I was a lazy sack of crap but turned out I had severe inattentive ADHD
