THIS
“why do we only romanticize our teenage years when we can also be romanticizing our 20s as well?” you’re so right, this reminded me of a tweet that said something like “there’s no timeline for happiness and i mean this sincerely because the world’s obsession with youth is so nauseating. you will experience joy and love and moments of tenderness in your adulthood”
it takes some time, but i hope more people realize that magical moments and feelings don’t end once your high school years are over, if anything, you enter a wonderful stage of shaping who you are and learning so, so many new things
“friendships come in seasons” not even going to lie to you, this part made me cry. i’m currently going through a friendship breakup, which hurts like hell, but i’ll be remembering these words to have some type of comfort, thank you
this is my fav genre of Dustin videos I'm the type of person who loves listening to ppl talk and these sit down videos bring me so much comfort ( I don't usually comment but Dustin said it's good to talk to strangers so I shall)
thank you for taking the time to comment! more chatty videos coming soon
I’m only five minutes in and you’ve already given me so much to think and write about later that I can’t contain it. You’ve given me so much more confidence and validation in how I’ve felt in friendships , being the initiator and never knowing if it was okay or if I had bad friends as well as my transition from missing my teenage years to being in my 20’s, I’ve also recently gotten over it quite a bit and sometimes I truly wonder in thought and laugh about how being a teenager was and how it’s shaped me today.
i literally recorded the start 5 mins and sent a voice memo to my friend group like so relatable
I just recently went through my "first" crush. I would call it a first because I have had some before. But it was not as strong as this one. Honestly, at first, it feels amazing but in the end, it feels horrible. Because you'd like to confess your feelings but end up scared of rejection. So it is easier to keep fantasizing about it... Not a good idea. Haven't gotten much sleep.
Same here it's such a great feeling and then you feel horrible. I literally went home crying and having a panic attack I didn't what these emotions were. I don't want a crush rn 😞💀
Same 😔
u gotta display the ultimate rizz trust
I relate so heavily to the initiator situation. Some people may think that introverts, like myself, would want to be alone all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to socially recharge. However, that’s only really the case when I hang out with people that I’m not close to. I crave connection and emotional intimacy with my friends. I think most people are just so used to seeing each other in person every day at school and don’t know how to stay connected when it’s not convenient. My closest friends are all separated by distance at different colleges while I remained in my hometown out of necessity. The thought of making new friends is terrifying to me. I feel like I simply don’t know how. Anywho, please check in on your friends who usually initiate or make plans. It would mean way more than you think.
OMG I RELATE SOOO MUCHH TO U!! i really only have 1 friend and she is all the way on the east coast for uni :')
I saw the title and why does this line up with my life rn?? dustin wtf😭
SAMEEE
BRO SAMEE
ARE WE ALL LIVING THE SAME LIVES FR
Samee
@@mirandachen8189 WE ARE
I feel the same way about crushes and romance, I swear I’m a hopeless romantic but then I get so tired of talking to people literally after a few messages and I end up ghosting guys cause the interest just goes away. Honestly, I deleted all my apps and decided that I don’t need to date if I don’t want to rn. I have my family and a couple friends and that’s enough for now so that’s where I’m at. 😅
literally same!!!
15:17 "I see myself as a friend" that's literally me rn💀
you talking about not being able to cry due to childhood trauma was so relatable to me. it takes A LOT for me to crack a single tear 😭
no fr the only time i will cry is if my parents or an authority figure yells at me 🧍🏻
@@dustinvuongME TOO
@@dustinvuong UGH I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE my friends had no clue what i was on about when i said this exact thing... 😭
@@dustinvuong I only cry infront of my mom too, only when we fight 😭
as a person just rejected out of a talking stage, ur description of the romantic emotions is just so fucking on point
dustin literally described in minutes how i feel everytime romantic feeling appear😭😭 i get so overwhelmed with all my emotions its exhausting HAHSHA
god, every time i’m watching your catch up videos i feel like i’m spending time with that one friend that i can talk with about literally everything. thank u dustin cuz to be honest i’ve been feeling lonely lately.
since this year has started i’ve dropped out of college and i can’t see my friends that often anymore cuz they are in different cities. it is crazy that even though we are from completely different places on earth and we don’t know each other when i’m watching your videos i don’t feel lonely or sad anymore. thank u for that
wishing you the best year and sending hug from small town in poland ❤️
i’m so happy that my videos can bring u a lil comfort 😭 wishing u the best thank u 4 watching 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I really like Dustins body language, as wholesome as ever. Seriously, thanks for always cheering me up with your videos
i can relate SO MUCH to dustin's opinion on talking stages. sure, it can give you a lot of fun and excitement at times. but when it fails, you know that you have to go through getting to know another person all over again, and it can get exhausting!
i love how confident u r in ur current stage in life. esp in realizing that friendships and ppl naturally change thru time. and now thanks to u im starting to think abt that too. so wise dustin.
Had a crush for 3 months my first one to be exact. I wrote them a letter confessing bc I just wanted to let go of that annoying feeling of having a crush. I even knew that they didn’t like me like that. Got rejected, we are still friends tho. Was a good experience though. Learned to be really vulnerable with current emotions
I met you in person at a Clairo concert last year and at the time it seemed like you were having a roughish time adjusting to LA. I’m so glad to hear that you’re settling in better now!
dude, you've quickly become one of my favorite youtubers. i know that you take your time making these videos, but they're simply worth the wait :D
didn't have to call me out on the stickers like that 😔 I DID STARTED DECORATING MY THINGS WITH EM THO :D
these videos always make me think that if dustin wrote a book about his life i'd read the fuck out of it like???? everything he talks about is so relatable and insightful and he makes me feel less alone and i just value that so much
Besides making me feel like i'm talking to my best friend, this type of dustin's videos also improve my english alot, thank you dustin 💗 (sorry if i made any mistakes btw)
dustin always makes me feel understood
yesss you're back thank god
So glad you finally have friends who match your energy equally
happy new year dustin...i hope all of your goals and resolutions come true
yess and he’s back!
Cant wait for this years videos😩

dustin you are too real for this, this is so relatable
it’s genuinely crazy coming back to watch dustin’s videos after months of not keeping up. he’s really such a wonderful person to watch grow and learn and take inspiration from because of this. can’t wait to see where his life takes him :)
i feel like not only watching your video but i'm growing with you and changing with you, coz your videos are always so relatable
Your videos are so perfect to listen to while I sew!
and watching this video made me so happy!!! i relate so much to you and seeing you go through all these new exciting things and self discoverys in your life makes me so hopeful for my future too
I'm so proud of you Dustin!! You've grown so so so much and I'm so grateful that you've shared your experience. You're such an amazing person - thank you so much for everything you shared in this video, it's amazing to hear your perspective on life! !
I could shed a tear rn, as I sawww you'd uploadeddd😭🙏🏽welcome back bae
I really relate about the friends part, hope you have a nice new year Dustin 🎉
I love the sense of validation you give when talking 🥺
IM SO HAPPY U FINALLY FOUND INITIATOR FRIENDS!!!! legit cant wait till i do
I relate so much to what you’re saying, it’s wild. I’m happy you’re at a better place.
You inspire me to sit in my bed with a tea and a diary, reflecting about life :P
You're vibes inspire me so much and I hope everyone continues to improve this year🥰🤗
I honestly love your chatty vids. I missed you so much!!
i definitely need ta try living in the moment. grow up with the internet i think has made me think that taking videos and photos of everything and then sharing it in social media is living in the moment. went to a concert and barely remembered it. i was to busy trying to capture everything that i forgot to look, to enjoy, and to live in that moment. one of my goals for the future is to just enjoy those moments! love you dustin!!
so relatable uhh love to him xx
i alwayyysss miss how i felt my senior year of high school... i miss the skatepark everyday and having a big friend group to go downtown with....
its so nice to know i am not the only one,,, i graduated in 2019 and even though its been several years, there is so much nostalgia 🤧
i look forward to getting to your headspace and accepting that your 20s are slightly lonlier
The universe knows when to put a Dustin video in my life fr.
it feels amazing to see you so happy and pleasant with your life! seeing u grow through ur videos is so emotional 😭🍄
i’m literally in love for the first time and it’s insane how i can’t shut off my emotions 😭 so relatable
i've been watching your channel since your back-to-school videos in high school and it's nice to see how you've grown and changed. you're only a year older than me so i know what you mean about never getting closure with hs especially cause of covid. i think i've just realized that dwelling in the past won't do anything, and being present like you said has been really important.
I would like to see your sketchbook progress next year!
omg i 1000% related to everything you said. i too have always been rather blunt and i’ve had a hard time doing that without coming off as hurtful to others. literally needed this video 😽😽 thanks dustin
i love this for you dustin 😍
Started watching you two years ago when I was unhoused, and now as I'm housed in LA I am so inspired by your growth and how your videos feel like a conversation. I am going to try my hand at youtube this year, thank you for your creativity, perspective and light
this is so relatable
so i'm 18 and i've never even had a romantic situationship with anyone. i think it's because i never ask someone out myself, like im not the initiator in romantic stuff but no one else shows interest in me either so i just end up feeling unloveable? i do want to initiate in romance, but having never been approached by someone else, i'm worried about rejection? like the thought of anyone liking me is unimaginable to me.
at least it's good to know im not alone here 😭🤝
I'm 19 and I feel the same way.I have asked people out in the past when I was younger and I never got a response back which makes me feel like no guy will ever have feelings back for me or pursue me at all
this perfectly describes my life generally
18 is YOUNG. There's so many people in the same boat -- most people I know had their first relationship in college and maybe not even then. Live life by your own timeline, the right people will come along I promise.
@@Diamondcolliedog Thank you for your advice.🥰🥰
@@Diamondcolliedog oh yeah i totally agree that 18 is young, but when your friends have like 1429 exes and are having sex and whatever... it does feel like you're undesirable or left behind? thanks for the reassurance though! definitely lifts my hopes up that things will turn out fine :)
the first part of the video really resonated with me. especially since i moved to a new country for college and recently moved into a new place last december, im definitely getting to know my roommates and its been fun meeting new people and actually having plans other than just staying at home which ive always yearned for. this is an exciting chapter after a period of feeling lonely and homesick to the point of second thinking my decision choosing to move to this city.
its so funny, your videos always pop up when im about to do hmw, or study, i love that lol
i hope u do more talking videos:)!! love watching and listening to them💗
i literally relate to you SO MUCH!! the way you talked about your emotions, friendships, romantic situations, down to the not being able to lie when someone looks bad lol. it's all so relatable and i love it!! your videos make me feel not alone
Honestly the bangs killing it Dustin
Love this video!!!
For a person who is terrible at being able to differentiate sometimes my emotions it really helps me a lot, it's like damn man it's just that, and it really helps me a lot to know what steps to take to be able to move forward you know. So thank you so much Dustin for the free therapy
OMG FINALLY
I missed you
this is way too relatable I'm scared
always love these more chatty videos!! glad you’re back dustin and happy new year :)
litch rally relatable content right here .
ive been goin through the EXACT SAME THING for these past 6 months. like the exact same things with the crush, processing romantic feelings, panic attacks, usually being logical and not so emotional, feeling all of that for the first time! im so glad im not alone. and i feel for you. good and bad
loved 24 minutes and 22 seconds of this vid
This was such a pleasure to watch.
these are my favorite type of videos from Dustin because i feel like he just validates my feelings sm
this is so real and vulnerable. im not even one to subscribe but i instantly liked you. it felt like i was talking to a friend. id enjoy more of these videos :)
I'm listening to do this while working on homework, this is like an awesome catch-up convo :)
I'm glad that you're going through life and experiencing all these new things! You've got this, man!
Dustin I've missed youuu, and I think this is the most relatable video I've ever seen in a while :) Keep up the good work bestie!
Thank you so much for making this video. It means a lot to me. You’ve grown a lot Dustin and you make me wanna grow with you even just from watching your videos. You always describe feelings that have been inside of me into words. It make me feel that I’m not alone and I can see what my feelings really are. And I can’t wait to see your future project! Hope you have a beautiful year❤
Your videos are so down-to-earth and so raw and I loooveee watching them. There are so many things that I found that I can learn from you and be inspired and gain that spark of life once again. I am coming to a realization too that 'friendships come in seasons' and it just makes me feel comfortable that there are people who feel the same way. Thank you for putting such content out here.
Happy new year everyone!! I love dustin’s new year plan to spark conversations with strangers! My new year plan is the opposite. I want to spend more time for myself like going to places by myself because a lot of the time im scared to be by myself, so I want to get over that fear!
This video made me feel so much better about being alive and I just want to say thank you so deeply :D You're a really admirable person and I appreciate the way you see your life so thank you for sharing it. This video gave me so much peace and yet so much inspiration and motivation. I hope that you achieve everything you've dreamed of and get only the best, you deserve it. Sending lots of love and a reminder to take good care + you're very handsome!
you posted this on my 20th birthday, and i can't be more happy about this gift 😌 i feel so comforted with this vid
Saving to watch this tomorrow after i give my exam to relax CAUSE HE IS RELAXING, i am so happyyy you uploaded again 💗
I loved the “crush clip” in the stairs.It’s so Broadway Musical.Just missed the tap dance. I ‘ve noticed the theatrical happy face with the lyrics.Great art work,Dustin!!!Love from Brazil.
it makes me SO HAPPY TO see you happy.
I'm 31 but I still learn so much from your reflections :)
i love this kind of chat video, its so nice to hear about other people's lives and i think its really impressive how aware of your emotions you are. i also love that you're taking steps to achieve your dreams...v inspiration vid if i do say so myself...and as usual top notch aesthetics hehe
movie to cry to: portrait of a lady on fire. it's a french lesbian period piece about an artist doing an engagement portrait. it's slow paced, but it's so fucking worth it. it made me cry twice in the last thirty minutes. it's also visually stunning and won best screenplay at Cannes.
if you want something happy to cry to, i recommend when harry met sally lol
noted! when harry met sally is one of my favs (doesn’t make me cry tho 😔)
Omg literally just got a cuppa and you uploaded. Perfect timing 🤌
this video made me realise that we are EXTREMELY ALIKE. i would say with the way we view friendships and our personality. i hate when people sugarcoat things and not get straight to the point. i also view myself as a realist, its hard not being able to control my facial expressions when my friends say something is cute or cool when it looks a bit strange or just out of the norm. im gonna try and work on that too! thank you for this video, i feel more connected to you. i hope to check up with you for future chatting videos :)
Ur so me, I love ur videos so soooo muchhhhh
hey dustin!! i've missed you a lot and i'm so glad that you're enjoying LA and making new friends, i'm so happy for you!!
i love your chatty videos because i relate to you in a lot of ways. it's comforting to me to know that the 20s can be amazing, bc i'm 18 now and sometimes i get worried that my youth will slip away. i've never been in love, and i kinda didn't want to date anyone before going to college, but i'm still a romantic, and seeing you experience these new "love relationships" in the moment that you are in your life is so great, i guess everyone has their own time! and i get you, it's so EXHAUTING to go through all of that flirt and small conversations with potential lovers. why can't we just meet the right person and live the greatest romance of all time without doing all of that?! anyway, i hope you keep doing good, 2023 will be a good year for you!! xx
Dustin is so vibing and Idk why but I feel the same emotions and he gave me that confidence that every stage in ur life has its own advantages/ and that`s okay to feel that way of feelings u have never experienced earlier. Thanks
i've always related to you, to the way you think and how you experience the world. its very comforting knowing another person thinks this way, i always have a good time watching your videos
yay Dustin has new friends 🥳🥳🥳🥳
