    Nobody should be afraid to cry. Cry if you're happy, cry if you're sad, cry if you want to cry. Showing emotions mean you're human.

    my favorite thing about myself is that I am extremely emotional, but I rarely care what people say or think about me. good things yeah sure they lift me up and make me feel good about myself. bad things though.... I completely ignore, or I try and find a good side to it. I love myself, sure I'm awkward, and like to be on my phone or computer, or reading, or drawing, or literally anything you could geek over and people make fun of me. BUT I DON'T CARREEEE!!! 😊😊 and that's what I love about myself. I am perfect the way I am, and part of that is because of you Connor, so uh thanks ❤♥❤

    Hi, my name is Julia. And I have special needs. I've always felt as if everyone had their eyes were on me, most of the time I was right. Adults don't even teach their kids that there are people in wheelchairs, or people that walk differently, or talk differently, they don't even think about it. I understand if it is a kid that's like three or four, but if your an adult and you are staring at me you hurt me. You made me remember that I'm different. So thankyou for that.
    So basically what I have is called Escobar Syndrome, it is how I was born. I have bent arms, legs, spine, wrists, fingers, toes, etc. Anyways I'm different. But as I get older I realize that I love how I am! I even have a superpower! It's called kindness. I am extremely kind to everyone because I love to see them smile, so does Charlie! (my service dog)
    So to answer your question, my favorite thing about me is that I can make people smile. And I hope that I inspire some of you guys. Or maybe I made you smile! I hope so😊

    @MsOJTAMOJTAM 8 років тому +7

    Connor , you know what? You are my best therapist.
    Your words and your videos they help me in the days of daily problems . I used to think that if you cry , I'm weak, I'm nothing.
    I didn't like to reveal their emotions. I didn't want people to see my tears . One day something snapped in me and I drew up the courage and began to cry at my friend. And then he told me exactly the same thing as you : don't be afraid to reveal their emotions. When the cry on , I felt lighter. Since that day, I never again keep their emotions in themselves. Because such situations are sometimes in life when you just show your emotions cleanse the body and mind :)
    Thank you very much Connor : *

      @crazyralph3585 2 місяці тому +1

      I agree. If even a badass like Joe Rogan is unafraid to admit that he cries, there is no reason that other men should be afraid to show emotion. If someone's masculinity can be washed away by a few tears, HE SUFFERS FROM A WEAK MASCULINITY. Also, emotional suppression is unhealthy for men, both emotionally and physically. We have known this for many years. So those who compel men to suppress their emotions are killing men.
      But more seriously, in the Bible, we read that many men have cried, grieved, or mourned. Even Jesus Christ wept. Therefore, if God's only begotten Son cried, then there is no reason that any other man should feel that crying, showing emotion, or being vulnerable, is weak or unmanly. Anyone who says "Grown men and big boys don't cry", obviously doesn't read the Bible, doesn't listen to country music, has never experienced extreme joy, and has never experienced heartbreak or sorrow.
      I agree with you. Men who don't cry are complete humans. Also, you should check out the song "Cry, Baby, Cry" by the Angels, you will like it. I wish that there were more women like you. God bless you always.

    I don't think Connor will ever read this but it applies to everyone else as well. A quote from legendary Coach Jim Valvano in a speech months before he died of cancer. The full speech can be found on youtube, but here is the quote: "If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special." Jim Valvano. Great advice for all of us to live by

    That's a really hard question... What is my favorite thing about myself? Do I even have a favorite thing?
    I mean, I guess I just really like how my brain functions. As in, I like how it basically runs Non-Stop processing at least five things at once. I like that it can easily multitask, that it never shuts up or runs out of ideas. I like how it can keep me going even if I'm running on empty. It's weird, I know, but I just love how I'm always moving because of it. I love that I can flow from one conversation to another with ease, jump from one topic to the next without thinking about it. I like that it can automatically connect things in ways most people wouldn't get.
    I know a lot of people can't always follow me, heck they'd probably get lost in my chaos brain, and I know that no one else thinks quite like me, but that's okay.

    my favourite thing about myself is that even is someone is the nastiest person to me, I will still 100% be there for them if they're upset or want a hug. i don't treat people differently because of society's idea of "popularity". if no one likes that person because they're "uncool" or "nerdy" I'll still love them as much as the "popular people". we are all equal as people and all deserve to be treated the exact same way.

  • @threeleggedcat
    @threeleggedcat 8 років тому +3

    I enjoy crying too, because it lets me just get all my emotions out, but I hate crying around others, when I watch movies or whatever, because I hate when people try to tell me it's not real and that I shouldn't be crying over it, because I should and I will cry. Also I get really inspired when I'm sad, which I love.

  • @karlaestrella5463

    My brother is the sportiest and manliest person ever... but in the house he is so heart warming and loves to hug me and watch movies with me and i've seen him cry alot of times. I have noticed recently that he hides that part of him when we're in public, and i HATE IT. I hope he understands one day that it is okay to be both things at the same time and that he learns to accept himself. love you Connor.

    • @karlaestrella5463
      @karlaestrella5463 8 років тому

      also, my favorite thing about myself (not physically) is that I tend to like things because I like them and nothing else. I used to try to hide things I like (music, hobbies, etc.) because I thought people would judge me, or say I like things when in reality I didn't. The day I accepted myself I started to make new, better friends and enjoy myself more. Also, I believe i'm a good friend. I don't really have that many friends offline because i'm homeschooled, but since I moved out of my country I stopped being the popular girl and start noticing how my old friends really felt about me. Even though I was hurt in the process, I believe I am now a better, more considerate friend than before.

  • @crazyralph3585
    @crazyralph3585 2 місяці тому +1

    Connor, you are a trip. Your message is so simple, so humorous, and so sincere. For such a young man, you really do demonstrate a high degree of self-actualization. Just like you, I mostly cry when I am happy.
    But more seriously, in the Bible, we read that many men have cried, grieved, or mourned. Even Jesus Christ wept. Therefore, if God's only begotten Son cried, then there is no reason that any other man should feel that crying, showing emotion, or being vulnerable, is weak or unmanly. Anyone who says "Grown men and big boys don't cry", obviously doesn't read the Bible, doesn't listen to country music, has never experienced extreme joy, and has never experienced heartbreak or sorrow.

    Good thoughts Connor. My brother is the same way and I've always loved that part of him, too. He's really emotionally intelligent and that's fantastic.
    For me, my favorite thing about myself is my tendency to see others complexly. I may get easily annoyed initially by some of the things people do, but almost immediately after that do I think about what might be going on in their lives that I know nothing about that could cause that behavior. Whether it be low self-esteem, family stress, school stress, fear, etc., I think about those things and then a good chunk of the aggravation goes away. I may still not appreciate their behavior toward me or others, but I don't really wish them ill, and in the end it could also be my own perspective that needs adjusting. You have to question, "Why am I getting so affected by this? Am I being oversensitive? etc.," Does that makes sense?

    @user-wg5oj4wm1b 8 років тому +7

    My aunt said at my trans cousin's birthday "Mariah shouldn't be saying all these cuss words, she's a girl." (Mariah is his sister) and I called my aunt out for that and I said "That's very sexist, and you shouldn't be applying roles to genders." But my aunt still said "I know, but still, she's a girl and that's not right." And I said "it may not be right to say rude words such as that, but it has nothing to due with weather she's a girl or not." And caused a scene and my grandma yelled at me and told me to shut up in her loud Italian accent and she's just as sexist and my grandma stepped on my foot and whispered to me "Eat like a lady." So I did the complete opposite and chewed with my mouth open and put my feet on the table (we were at a nice restraunt) and I didn't mean to be rude, I just wanted to prove a point that gender roles shouldn't be applied. We live in a day of age where these kinds of things are unacceptable. My entire family was mad at me, well, except my cousin. :)

    I'm a girl who hates crying. Like every time I am in front of anyone, including my parents, I force down any and all sad emotion until I can lock myself in a bathroom somewhere so I can let out a few silent tears. Not too long ago I cried in front of one of my friends and I was extremely embarrassed, yet society claims its okay for girls to cry, so idk... Maybe it's cause I'm an only child so I had to be like the son and daughter to my parents... Idk, but it's interesting to hear about someone who embraces their emotions.
