So funny that so many people hate D'Angelo complimenting himself when it's honestly one of my favorite things he does! Normalize being nice to yourself. And also it's true he's very pretty lmao.
ive started to do it, even when I don't think its true, and I will keep doing it because the 'self-deprication' I believe is true doesn't make me sad, BUT saying "I did [insert goofy and dumb activity here] cause I'm frickin awesome" and putting a lil oomf in it like I mean it definitely feels way better. and I read half of his "I'm literally god" as sarcasm, sort of. he is saying these things and (mostly) thinks its true, but he thinks its true for him. he is the best and most beautiful, of him, to himself. and he never says SERIOUSLY that we should think the same. and there is definitely a level of emotional intelligence needed to fully understand the humor and intentional irony he drops in, in his speech about why he acts and speaks that way. i frickin love it
@@stuppittyhedyes sometime he does joke but also it’s good to be nice to yourself people always think it’s immediately self indulgent but nothing good comes out of tearing yourself down
I mean there are older videos where he is wearing short sleeves but I guess it's been a while since he's worn those?😂 They are nice though, very cool👀❤
"I also frequently get called vain, big-headed, self centered, but the funny thing is people have very rarely been able to call me WRONG." I LOVE THIS.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. He’s not condescending, he’s happy with himself, there is a huge difference. Just because he doesn’t down his self doesn’t mean he is looking down on us.
And no one means a literal queen, when they say that. I can call a girl friend bruh, and express my shock to a boy 'girl, you won't believe what happened!'. Unless someone has a special request to not use words like that regarding them, in most cases this really isn't that big of a deal In most cases it's a linguistic joke or a common phrase @@zelulu1000
That rant where D'angelo just went "Sure I am condescending but it's only because I'm always right, and also I'm beautiful" is a level of confidence I aspire to in life. How can people hate on that? I wish everyone felt that good about themselves
i really thnk people hate on it because they also want to be that confident. im very self-hating and negative. but i dont hate him for loving himself. is see him and see him as a role model. hes only a tiny bit younger than me (im 27) so its cool to see someone whos a peer be so self loving and it gives me something to strive for . i acutally want to talk about this with my therapist lol. ive been self deprecating for my entire life, my brain doesnt know how to be self-positive
I like that most commentary youtubers focus on the content and the discussion, and only mention personal life when it's relevant. Vlogs and lifestyle content have been a very easy way for creators to keep posting on their platforms, but I never took anything valuable from these.

@KC-2049 Man, terminally online people truly suck. Self deprecation has been around for centuries. Our greatest comedic minds dabble in it because it's naturally more humorous than being conceited.

As a 36yo, yes having a quarter life crisis in 25-26 is extremely normal. Gets a little less severe as you get older but now getting close to 40 it’s kinda back 😅 you are so much more self aware than I was at your age. I’m happy you’ve been in a good place to record lately, your videos make my mornings getting ready for work. You’re doing amazing sweetie 💕

@@k1773nsHe appeared on H3H3 Podcast once, through Discord calls and was answering questions. He mentioned about seeing someone seriously thats why there are allegations of him being married.
I love his content so much that I never even thought to ask the question. I don't care. D'Angelo is brilliant and fun, two things lacking in so many others. His personal life is just that... *_personal._*
i’m deaf (85% loss in my left ear, 60% in my right) and d’angelo is one of the only creators i know i can rely on for accurately captioned content every time - inclusivity is so important and i appreciate the access so much ❤
I am 55 years old, and I LOVE being part of this Totally Legit University!!! Your appeal is vast. And I want to remind everyone that the great *Maya Angelou* said, *"You should always be the President and CEO of your own fan club."* If _YOU_ don't love you, then why should anyone else? 🤔
@@alloftheabriar Same here. I also have sensory issues, so specific comfortable fabrics and a lack of bright colors is my go-to. If I HAD to pick a clothing gender for myself, it would be "anything loose with lots of pockets.'
I'm so glad I found this guy a month ago, it's like he's unintentionally opening my mind to new things and I'm genuinely empressed by his personality. Also I've been wanting to learn more about your tats for a while! Thank you for today's class, professor Dave!, and professor assistant d'Angelo. Of course.
@@dime.overmatter if they're left-aligned and stagger out word by word, they're auto generated. If they're center-aligned and have full and complete sentences with punctuation and formatting, either the UA-camr themselves or someone paid by the UA-camr has gone in to manually type out and sync the captions to the video's audio, making them more subtitles than captions. (UA-cam also usually distinguishes between "[language] (auto-generated)" and just '"[language]" options on a video if there are manual captions.) There are shortcuts to doing it (like using autogenerated captions, your script, or an autogenerated transcript and cleaning it up), but there is still a difference between the autogenerated and subtitles/confirmed captions. In this case, D'Angelo's video has confirmed captions.
Genuinely, your anti self-deprecating attitude was one of the first things that made me realize my own self hatred was all in my head and it really seriously didn't have to be that way. I used to think that I couldn't get better with that, but here I am, doing better. So thank you to you and your God complex. It actually helped me a lot. Ps you were also my first UA-camr crush
Also, he’s the only UA-camr I can watch because he adds captions to his videos. I don’t usually comment, but please never stop using captions. It’s a life saver
Depends. Sometimes it’s funny. But it can definitely be way too much and toxic. But it’s also healthy to self-manage a bit. Actually just be realistic about yourself. What you’re good at and what you’re not
I just made my own comment but it might make more sense as a reply here: 2:28 i infact LOVE that you are so positive about yourself. I am very self deprecating and I wish i was more like you. I was talking to a friend about you and your good quality of being able to say nice things about yourself. i am shocked to see that people hate on your self aggrandizing. I take it as self esteem and joking (i dont see it as cocky since its clearly meant to be silly/funny). I wonder of those people are like myself: self-hating. and then feel upset that you can be so positive and thus they lash out
I hadn’t even realized until you said no sponsors that that is a huge reason I love your videos. It’s like watching an old UA-cam video not being interrupted by someone trying to sell me something every 1.5 minutes.
fr !!! ive been skipping the ads parts bc i dont even know anymore if what they're promoting is actually legit (lile our university ahemahem) and tbh i dont bother enough to care, i just want the video 😭 so yeah i love these vids bc NO ADS YAY
I fixed my self-hate issues by replacing every "I'm horrible" joke with a sarcastic "I'm actually the best in the fucking world" joke and it unironically changed the way I viewed myself. It should be a trend, especially among people who get a lot of shit about their appearance from the society
I really thank you for putting CC on your every video, as someone with hard of hearing problems. Legible, non-outsourced CC. I think we should normalize UA-camrs putting CC.
I kinda love that D’Angelo is a bit more private than other UA-camrs. Don’t get me wrong I like hearing about other people’s personal lives, but at the same time, in a day and age where people are over sharing constantly online I think it sets a really good example. I’m sure a lot of his viewers are in high school or maybe younger and feel pressured to tell everyone everything because that’s what’s all over TikTok and other social media. And it’s refreshing to see someone set healthy boundaries with their audience and still be interesting and create great content.
The fact that he didn't share any personal info while creating this video is brilliant. As a mother of a 26 year old son, I love hearing the thoughts of his generation in an educated and self-assured voice. Yes, he is smart & beautiful! Keep that confidence! Love to see it! ❤
wow thats so cool. As a 20yr old its nice to see that older people are watching the same good youtubers as us. =D makes the age divide seem less strict.
14:01 “Life is too short to exclusively shop in the men’s section.” As a parent actively trying to explain to my five year old that “girly” and “boyish” are nonsense concepts, I’m really feeling this quote right now.
1:36 - 1:42 “Honestly, I don’t feel I can be contained in a pronoun, but I do have to be perceived…” Basically my own stance on the matter. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
i have terrible auditory processing issues and honestly youre one of the few people i properly understand.. on top of the captions, i think youre one of the most accesible commentators out there.
i felt so perceived all of a sudden when i looked up from my crochet project and heard you say “i’m just gonna put this on while i’m crocheting” so for the record, yes LOL
I recently found you on the home schooling video. I am a democrat from Wyoming so my experience is limited and expanding my perspective has been enhanced by your videos. A moment that has been impactful in my life was when you described how hard it is for when of women of color to be understood. I get hard on myself when I feel like I'm being misinterpreted, understanding that I don't have near as hard as a time for a large portion of the people around me, humbles me. If that is even the right way to put it. If everyday I improve a little, it may eventually have an impact. If you see this D'Angelo thank you, you are having an impact on a 40 year old from Wyoming.
I dont have a clue as to why you popped up in my YT algorithm, but I enjoyed the video I watched. So many people lack confidence that when somone has it, its intimidating. You are a good looking intelligent young man, keep being your authentic self.
Seeing neat tattoos is always cool, talking more about yours would be a fun video, but no pressure. It’s a part of your body, only do what you’re comfortable with.
You being over the top is the reason I keep coming back lol. You know how to talk up your hard work or yourself as a person in a way that’s both entertaining and feels like something people should do more often. Being over the top is just more fun 😂
I find your bombastic acceptance and love of yourself inspiring. Every time you say something about how great you are, I make a mental note to speak the same way about myself whenever possible. 😂
Its hard for people to compliment themselves because they always want some form of validation 😂. I used to get people mad at me because I would show up to work smiling. Like ew tell me your miserable without saying anything. @Sol5o1
Why is it that when a man wants to be feminine they are suddenly gay, same goes for women. I been asked if I was a lesbian all because of dressing more masculine 😭 Also rip to the iconic actress of our childhoods Maggie smith.
Legit one of the big reasons I started watching you was because of the aggressive positivity. I started being aggressively positive a handful of years back to combat my self deprecation and depression, and it's honestly changed my life. Some of the first advice I give people about being happier is "compliment yourself, even if you don't think you deserve it. Especially if you don't think you deserve it." Seeing you embodying that is so good, and I smile every single time you talk about how good you look. Idk, I think people have this weird idea that liking yourself is narcissism, and like. Idk. If this is narcissism, then more people should do it, cause it feels pretty damn good. Basically I'm saying you should do it more actually-
D'Angelo being nice to himself is basically the best representation men get. Whe should all love ourselves but I feel like the dudes need to be reminded more often cause the masculinity can be pretty toxic.
Whatever/whoever you are D’Angelo we absolutely need you here on earth in whatever way you choose to occupy it. You are refreshing, insightful and hilarious, and we love you for it ❤
D’Angelo, NEVER STOP talking yourself up in your videos because every time you are loving yourself I am LIVING for it and also just find the humor in the drama of your notions of godliness! You are DIVINE, never forget it 😊
D'angelo, you really are ✨ beautiful ✨. Self depreciation puts me off. I love how you are confident, it makes me happy and encourages me to be the same.
Right? It's actually one of my favourite little things about his work, how unflinchingly he (accurately) comments on his beauty. Like he does look good and should say it. Why is it bad to describe yourself looking good??
@@yoursnatchedweave641 if someone just acknowledging that they like their appearance is cocky and arrogant to you, that's a you problem. Is literally anyone harmed by D'Angelo paying himself a compliment?
I love the confidence to be honest. As some one who is totally not confident, it's refreshing to see it. Also it feels playful to me, not self absorbed or anything. Keep being confident, it works.
2:28 i infact LOVE that you are so positive about yourself. I am very self deprecating and I wish i was more like you.

I wonder of those people are like myself: self-hating. and then feel upset that you can be so positive and thus they lash out
I used to be extremely self deprecating. Then I started ironically complimenting myself and it’s helped with my self esteem to the point where I just compliment myself genuinely. Like if I mess up, I tell myself I’m still a good person or something. (It still feels fake, but it’s a work in progress)
I think self deprecation can make people likable though. You just shouldn’t do it from a place of insecurity. I usually do it about things I believe in myself about, then occasionally someone will go “you don’t think you’re good at THAT?!? You’re great a that!” And I get a little unsought confidence boost.
@@_..-.._..-.._ its not that.. i do it a LOT. like all things, moderation is key. i think ive gone too far. and a friend said something that felt very deep: its not a self deprecation joke if you believe it.. for me its gone too much. i think i started it as a way to get that small boost.. but if my self confidence doesnt come from inside, thats not good if i get time im going to talk abotu this with my therapist this week
Also i asked the internet where you went and if you were okay. Your videos truly bring me comfort. No pressure and Im okay with getting a video from you when ever you can because I have the same problem with consistency unless its breathing. I still breath everyday so far 😂
it really makes me happy to hear that d'angelo is doing great, tbh. also, i think a lot of people would love a video on your tattoos! i know i would :)
As someone who was also homeschooled and lives in NC, the so-called 'toxic' positivity you have about yourself and the wisdom with which you approach topics are really uplifting things to witness in an uncertain time. Watching your videos is helping me unpack my own self-criticism and realize that life is gonna be okay. I would say I wish I had your sense of style, but I'm going to take a leaf out of your book and instead say that I'm going to instead find a style I can call my own. Keep being fabulous! You are helping a lot of people!

The best comment so far 👍🏽
seeing tatted up arms was like a flashbang. made me realize i have never seen anything from the shoulders down
LITERALLY. I blinked like 10 times making that same realization. Like wow DeAngelo has arms and isn't just a bust 😂

They are nice though, very cool👀❤

Close captions = Accessibility for deaf and heard of hearing people. Thanks, D'Angelo!

i’m deaf (85% loss in my left ear, 60% in my right) and d’angelo is one of the only creators i know i can rely on for accurately captioned content every time - inclusivity is so important and i appreciate the access so much ❤
I am 55 years old, and I LOVE being part of this Totally Legit University!!! Your appeal is vast. And I want to remind everyone that the great *Maya Angelou* said, *"You should always be the President and CEO of your own fan club."* If _YOU_ don't love you, then why should anyone else? 🤔
Right there with you, I’m 57, he just popped up & I adore him. He’s so very intelligent and eloquent ❤
You can love yourself without having to constantly state it.
This!!!
Is D’Angelo gay/straight/cis/trans?
He’s an EXPERIENCE ✨
In other words yes
Your unabashed self love and confidence genuinely makes my days better. Its amazing how joy cana be infectious
"I honestly don't feel like I can be contained in a pronoun." MOOD!!! That's a vibe in a half.
Same with gender being the last thing on his mind while shopping for clothes! I relate to that.
@@meifennellysieu7510 Same! Sometimes I just wanna wear what looks good regardless of masc or fem!
@@alloftheabriar Same here. I also have sensory issues, so specific comfortable fabrics and a lack of bright colors is my go-to.
If I HAD to pick a clothing gender for myself, it would be "anything loose with lots of pockets.'
it was so refreshing to hear a cis person make a non-transphobic joke about pronouns
@KC-2049 i really love that for you! gender nonconformity is always great to witness
it’s giving frontal lobe development
SCREAMINGGG 😭😭😭😭
masterclass comment, haha
We're finally fully developed up in this house bay-bee!
okkkkkk!
WHY are you like this❤❤❤
I'm so glad I found this guy a month ago, it's like he's unintentionally opening my mind to new things and I'm genuinely empressed by his personality. Also I've been wanting to learn more about your tats for a while!
Thank you for today's class, professor Dave!, and professor assistant d'Angelo. Of course.
7:17 I really appreciate the closed captions. Not a lot of UA-camrs will put in the time to type their captions up. So thank you
Isn't it auto generated and possibly he checks it for accuracy..?
@@dime.overmatter if they're left-aligned and stagger out word by word, they're auto generated. If they're center-aligned and have full and complete sentences with punctuation and formatting, either the UA-camr themselves or someone paid by the UA-camr has gone in to manually type out and sync the captions to the video's audio, making them more subtitles than captions. (UA-cam also usually distinguishes between "[language] (auto-generated)" and just '"[language]" options on a video if there are manual captions.) There are shortcuts to doing it (like using autogenerated captions, your script, or an autogenerated transcript and cleaning it up), but there is still a difference between the autogenerated and subtitles/confirmed captions.
In this case, D'Angelo's video has confirmed captions.
I’m not sure if D’angelo types his own captions, but most UA-camrs pay someone else to do it
2:12 "But the funny thing is, people have very rarely been able to call me wrong" definitely a flex
AND he is 100% correct!!!
Yup
Huge slay
"I like being ✨ pretty ✨"
love you so much D'Angelo 💜
Genuinely, your anti self-deprecating attitude was one of the first things that made me realize my own self hatred was all in my head and it really seriously didn't have to be that way. I used to think that I couldn't get better with that, but here I am, doing better. So thank you to you and your God complex. It actually helped me a lot.
Ps you were also my first UA-camr crush
_[Everyone liked that]_
Him being egotistical/confident is so much more preferred than self deprecating humor.
Also, he’s the only UA-camr I can watch because he adds captions to his videos. I don’t usually comment, but please never stop using captions. It’s a life saver
I’m someone with a great self esteem so o just see his talking great about himself as positive for him and the audience. It’s also funny af
Especially because he's right! There are some topics where a healthy amount of ego CAN be applied
Literally i watch a youtuber like that and its exhausting like NO you ARENT terrible at everything and so bad and embarrassing etc etc. .....
Depends. Sometimes it’s funny. But it can definitely be way too much and toxic. But it’s also healthy to self-manage a bit. Actually just be realistic about yourself. What you’re good at and what you’re not
D’Angelo is so precious. Continue to not let anyone define you or put you in a box. It’s why we all adore you and your content!
nah i loooove how you talk about yourself and have always seen it as you modeling positive self talk for your viewers. 100% aspire to that!!!
I just made my own comment but it might make more sense as a reply here:
2:28 i infact LOVE that you are so positive about yourself. I am very self deprecating and I wish i was more like you. I was talking to a friend about you and your good quality of being able to say nice things about yourself. i am shocked to see that people hate on your self aggrandizing. I take it as self esteem and joking (i dont see it as cocky since its clearly meant to be silly/funny). I wonder of those people are like myself: self-hating. and then feel upset that you can be so positive and thus they lash out
You're in your phineas and ferb era (having a very tight formula but with every episode feeling unique regardless)
Such a hot take. ❤ 🔥
well said
Life is too short to exclusively shop in the men's section. Respect.
D'Angelo has moved to my state now I officially cannot leave the house looking any less than fabulous lest I disappoint our king
Same here!! 😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
You should probably have sponsors honestly but watching all these unsponsored videos has been positively LUXURIOUS
omg so true
Sponsors turn it into work, I totally get why he isn’t interested in going that route.
5:10 Im sorry D'angelo but you in these college pictures look like a sitcom character from the 80's 😭
D'angelo Wallace being tall isn't what I expected.
Right? Im fuming
When I saw him on Anthony Padilla’s Assumptions show, I was surprised how tall he is.
Nah his voice is deeeeep i expected him to be tall
@@kripar3117Yeah that surprised me too.
also JARVIS??? I THOUGHT HE WAS LIKE AVERAGE HEIGHT OR SHORTER WHY DOES HE LOOK SO TALL IN THAT PIC
Yes,please do a tattoo tour! And I hope one day you feel ready to share your art again. I'd love to see it
I love how you compliment yourself. 💖 Self depreciation is NOT the vibe.
10:53 Dave is a trophy husband confirmed
A literal one.
D'Angelo's gonna have to change his name to Michael D'Angelo if he makes it official with David
😆🤣
I hadn’t even realized until you said no sponsors that that is a huge reason I love your videos. It’s like watching an old UA-cam video not being interrupted by someone trying to sell me something every 1.5 minutes.
fr !!! ive been skipping the ads parts bc i dont even know anymore if what they're promoting is actually legit (lile our university ahemahem) and tbh i dont bother enough to care, i just want the video 😭 so yeah i love these vids bc NO ADS YAY
I fixed my self-hate issues by replacing every "I'm horrible" joke with a sarcastic "I'm actually the best in the fucking world" joke and it unironically changed the way I viewed myself. It should be a trend, especially among people who get a lot of shit about their appearance from the society
“Remain haunted, random stranger, remain haunted”. Best line ever!!!❤❤❤
So good 😂
👏👏👏
I really thank you for putting CC on your every video, as someone with hard of hearing problems. Legible, non-outsourced CC. I think we should normalize UA-camrs putting CC.
ive always really appreciated the more positive tone you take in your videos. its nice to see people be nice about themselves!
I kinda love that D’Angelo is a bit more private than other UA-camrs. Don’t get me wrong I like hearing about other people’s personal lives, but at the same time, in a day and age where people are over sharing constantly online I think it sets a really good example. I’m sure a lot of his viewers are in high school or maybe younger and feel pressured to tell everyone everything because that’s what’s all over TikTok and other social media. And it’s refreshing to see someone set healthy boundaries with their audience and still be interesting and create great content.
The fact that he didn't share any personal info while creating this video is brilliant. As a mother of a 26 year old son, I love hearing the thoughts of his generation in an educated and self-assured voice. Yes, he is smart & beautiful! Keep that confidence! Love to see it! ❤
wow thats so cool. As a 20yr old its nice to see that older people are watching the same good youtubers as us. =D makes the age divide seem less strict.
@@infinityseagull3752 Gen X is much more cool than people think 😉
14:01 “Life is too short to exclusively shop in the men’s section.” As a parent actively trying to explain to my five year old that “girly” and “boyish” are nonsense concepts, I’m really feeling this quote right now.
1:36 - 1:42 “Honestly, I don’t feel I can be contained in a pronoun, but I do have to be perceived…” Basically my own stance on the matter. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
i have terrible auditory processing issues and honestly youre one of the few people i properly understand.. on top of the captions, i think youre one of the most accesible commentators out there.
right? like i never actually have to rewind and that's saying a lot lol
11:55 King behavior right here😭, I’m so happy I found your channels
It never crossed my mind to wonder if you have tattoos or not, but now that i know, I would definitely like to see them as a fellow living canvas.
That's so beautifully put I too am a living canvas
yessss!!
Crazy what people can think about you over social media. Love the vids professor.
It's not just "what," it's "how much!" Kind of unnerving to imagine so many people wanting to know more about you than you do
Me too…❤
i felt so perceived all of a sudden when i looked up from my crochet project and heard you say “i’m just gonna put this on while i’m crocheting” so for the record, yes LOL
I recently found you on the home schooling video. I am a democrat from Wyoming so my experience is limited and expanding my perspective has been enhanced by your videos. A moment that has been impactful in my life was when you described how hard it is for when of women of color to be understood. I get hard on myself when I feel like I'm being misinterpreted, understanding that I don't have near as hard as a time for a large portion of the people around me, humbles me. If that is even the right way to put it. If everyday I improve a little, it may eventually have an impact. If you see this D'Angelo thank you, you are having an impact on a 40 year old from Wyoming.
8:51 I’ve never commented it before but I felt so called out here. I’m always listening to you while I’m crocheting xD
Omg mee too literally i never comment but i am crocheting a ruffled bucket hat right now
Same!
Omg me too. I never looked up so fast 😂😂
Me too. I’m crocheting a hat right now listening to this lol.
LMAO SAME
I dont have a clue as to why you popped up in my YT algorithm, but I enjoyed the video I watched. So many people lack confidence that when somone has it, its intimidating. You are a good looking intelligent young man, keep being your authentic self.
"Leaving big companies on read for no reason" is a powerful statement.
goals
Seeing neat tattoos is always cool, talking more about yours would be a fun video, but no pressure. It’s a part of your body, only do what you’re comfortable with.
i agree! i would love to see a tattoo "tour" video! :D
D’Angelo’s self-love & complimenting himself makes total sense when you consider he’s a Virgo ♍️. I love Virgos
You being over the top is the reason I keep coming back lol. You know how to talk up your hard work or yourself as a person in a way that’s both entertaining and feels like something people should do more often. Being over the top is just more fun 😂
I find your bombastic acceptance and love of yourself inspiring. Every time you say something about how great you are, I make a mental note to speak the same way about myself whenever possible. 😂
People that hate D'Angelo complementing himself need to start complementing themselves instead of hating on people who do so.
literally! it's funny and also a lot of fun!
@@nyct1b1us Everyone should appreciate and love themselves. It shouldn't be considered strange to complement yourself :)
Its hard for people to compliment themselves because they always want some form of validation 😂. I used to get people mad at me because I would show up to work smiling. Like ew tell me your miserable without saying anything. @Sol5o1
I'm naturally a very self-centered, egotistical person. Complimenting myself just feeds into that ego, which is not good.
@@genzo454 then ig it isn't for you. i will say though, shame (self-hatred) is also a form of self-centeredness.
Breaking my no commenting rule to say keep on keeping on! Your vibe and commentary is on point.
I'm really enjoying seeing you evolve in every iteration of your creative process. Like, you're glowing talking about it now 🥰
“is D’Angelo okay” well are you???
he said "I'm okay right now but it tends to go up and down" so the answer is...yes, at the moment!
FACTS LMFAO
He answered this.
can't believe UA-cam hid this from me for 46 seconds
It froze when I opened it. Even when I get a prompt notification they mess with me.
Once a notification didn’t show up for half an hour for me…
How do you think I feel?
48 MINUTES!!
Why is it that when a man wants to be feminine they are suddenly gay, same goes for women.
I been asked if I was a lesbian all because of dressing more masculine 😭
Also rip to the iconic actress of our childhoods Maggie smith.
Ok but when he showed his tattoos 😍..7:40
Yes!! They looked amazing!
Legit one of the big reasons I started watching you was because of the aggressive positivity. I started being aggressively positive a handful of years back to combat my self deprecation and depression, and it's honestly changed my life. Some of the first advice I give people about being happier is "compliment yourself, even if you don't think you deserve it. Especially if you don't think you deserve it."
Seeing you embodying that is so good, and I smile every single time you talk about how good you look.
Idk, I think people have this weird idea that liking yourself is narcissism, and like. Idk. If this is narcissism, then more people should do it, cause it feels pretty damn good.
Basically I'm saying you should do it more actually-
“my pronouns are me, myself and i” I/ME/MYSELF? WILL WOOD?
YESSS we want a tattoo video!! Especially since you designed them as well :)
D'Angelo being nice to himself is basically the best representation men get. Whe should all love ourselves but I feel like the dudes need to be reminded more often cause the masculinity can be pretty toxic.
Whatever/whoever you are D’Angelo we absolutely need you here on earth in whatever way you choose to occupy it. You are refreshing, insightful and hilarious, and we love you for it ❤
Meanwhile, I’m still asking Google complicated interpersonal questions
I asked Google when my dad's birthday was the other day
D’Angelo, NEVER STOP talking yourself up in your videos because every time you are loving yourself I am LIVING for it and also just find the humor in the drama of your notions of godliness! You are DIVINE, never forget it 😊
D'angelo, you really are ✨ beautiful ✨. Self depreciation puts me off. I love how you are confident, it makes me happy and encourages me to be the same.
I personally love the elevated confident ego bit, you’re so right, it’s something we should all do for ourselves
Right? It's actually one of my favourite little things about his work, how unflinchingly he (accurately) comments on his beauty. Like he does look good and should say it. Why is it bad to describe yourself looking good??
@@lilpetz500no. it's cocky and arrogant
@@yoursnatchedweave641 if someone just acknowledging that they like their appearance is cocky and arrogant to you, that's a you problem.
Is literally anyone harmed by D'Angelo paying himself a compliment?
@@lilpetz500 yes. i will not elaborate.
@@yoursnatchedweave641 ok cool, I literally don't believe you. Burden's on you to explain that claim.
I love the confidence to be honest. As some one who is totally not confident, it's refreshing to see it. Also it feels playful to me, not self absorbed or anything. Keep being confident, it works.
2:28 i infact LOVE that you are so positive about yourself. I am very self deprecating and I wish i was more like you. I was talking to a friend about you and your good quality of being able to say nice things about yourself. i am shocked to see that people hate on your self aggrandizing. I take it as self esteem and joking (i dont see it as cocky since its clearly meant to be silly/funny). I wonder of those people are like myself: self-hating. and then feel upset that you can be so positive and thus they lash out
I used to be extremely self deprecating. Then I started ironically complimenting myself and it’s helped with my self esteem to the point where I just compliment myself genuinely. Like if I mess up, I tell myself I’m still a good person or something. (It still feels fake, but it’s a work in progress)
I think self deprecation can make people likable though. You just shouldn’t do it from a place of insecurity. I usually do it about things I believe in myself about, then occasionally someone will go “you don’t think you’re good at THAT?!? You’re great a that!” And I get a little unsought confidence boost.
@@_..-.._..-.._ its not that.. i do it a LOT. like all things, moderation is key. i think ive gone too far. and a friend said something that felt very deep: its not a self deprecation joke if you believe it..
for me its gone too much. i think i started it as a way to get that small boost.. but if my self confidence doesnt come from inside, thats not good
if i get time im going to talk abotu this with my therapist this week
Pre-emptive postmortems sounds like the next hit pop-punk ska band
i need to listen to their music NOW
Lmk when they drop their first song
Also i asked the internet where you went and if you were okay. Your videos truly bring me comfort. No pressure and Im okay with getting a video from you when ever you can because I have the same problem with consistency unless its breathing. I still breath everyday so far 😂
I have never seen your confidence as egotistical, keep letting it shine through. It inspires me to be more confident as well
it really makes me happy to hear that d'angelo is doing great, tbh.
also, i think a lot of people would love a video on your tattoos! i know i would :)
As an insecure person, I love the way you amp yourself up - confidence is beautiful!
It says something when society looks at a sassy guy with a good fashion sense and immediately questions his sexuality 😂
I abandoned whatever I was doing I don't even remember.
As someone who was also homeschooled and lives in NC, the so-called 'toxic' positivity you have about yourself and the wisdom with which you approach topics are really uplifting things to witness in an uncertain time. Watching your videos is helping me unpack my own self-criticism and realize that life is gonna be okay. I would say I wish I had your sense of style, but I'm going to take a leaf out of your book and instead say that I'm going to instead find a style I can call my own. Keep being fabulous! You are helping a lot of people!
i did not know d’angelo was tatted up 💀
"I have yet to meet a color I didn't look good in!" 😂 Same! Totally felt!
I’m a North Carolina resident and it’s great to have you here! ❤
