When channels just die out of nowhere, I always find it peculiar. I guess I expect the last video to be a "goodbye" video, but that would only be possible under specific circumstances.
When you started your channel it had been 10 years since I'd studied German and you really rekindled my love for the language. I know you're in a totally different life situation now, but I really miss your German videos

Introvert joining here 👋 The Internet is actually a blessing for us introverts because we can still be in touch with people without actually physically being around them and it gives us time to express ourselves the way we want to without being "the odd one out" or coming across as more quiet than the loud extroverts.

I remember getting into german back in 2014. Your content helped me a lot back then to take those first steps into learning german and understanding a bit more about german culture in general. This is a pretty long hiatus, I hope you're doing ok and nothing serious happened.
That's so me. 😭 Thank you for making such videos. 💜 It's so comforting to hear that you're not alone in this. PS. I really appreciate that you still put some German phrases even in more personal kinds of videos 💖
Reading that you can relate feels great to me as well. We all have these problems and talking about them makes it so much better and easier. 😊 All the best and lots of love 💙
The first thing that always strikes me about your videos is the warmth and compassion that radiates from you. You have one of the biggest, most welcoming hearts on youtube. Lots of love and thanks for what you do from Newfoundland, Canada!
Thank you very much for sharing your feelings about this! It is so difficult sometimes to speak out about the things that deeply affect us, but you did so with grace and humor, and even managed to sneak in a German lesson as well! ☺️
Guten Morgen 👋. Geb nicht so viel auf Negative Menschen und Komentare, die sind meist geistig einfach nur arm. Ich mag deine Art deine Ausstrahlung und deinen Kontent so wie er ist !! Hab noch nen schönen Sonntag.
After watching several of your videos I can honestly say I never thought you sounded/looked like you were about to cry. And I can TOTALLY relate with the whole "why don't you talk" thing. I got so tired of being asked that that one day when someone asked me that again I replied "Why don't you ever shut up". They never asked me a question again lol. I have Autism so I can easily go the entire day without uttering a word and be perfectly content. For every negative comment you may receive there are a hundred positive comments waiting. You're a beautiful person inside and out so don't let ignorant people get you down! I love watching your videos and they always just make me smile (which is hard to do by the way!) after a long stressful day at work. Thank you for being you!
I hope you're doing well. I really love your content, it has always been either thought provoking or hilarious (making an Austrian laugh is no small feat). I found myself reflected in so many videos especially about the social abilities, emotions and being an introvert. Always feeling a bit off, I found comfort in the rabbit community until I eventually got my answer and was diagnosed a year ago. Content like yours help see people that it is okay who they are and that not fitting in eventually gives you access to others who feel the same way. As someone who had a small UA-cam channel that is now more or less on permanent hiatus, I know that there can be thousands of reasons for not being active. You always expect an explanation, a goodbye video, or an "I'm taking a gap year" video, but the reality is that your life comes first. Most of the time creators want to continue and just put it off indefinitely due to priorities. This happened to me for example although on a much, much smaller scale. I always wanted to continue, but at some point you can't find the time. I have no idea what happened to Trixie, if her personal life took priority or if she is even well. I just hope you're alive and well. If you ever decide that you have the desire or even the ability to continue, I have a feeling that your community will be there and ready. And if not, we can still enjoy the content and be eternally grateful for all the work
You're a lovely person that seems like you rock as a mom and role model, especially with your language and connectivity abilities with us through your videos. I've been termed a 'closet' introvert as my career required me to speak to new people all the time but be able to address rooms with up to 100 students at a time. Most people never thought about me being terrified every single time, but I was. Only those close to me ever knew. It's probably one reason my wife & I get along as well as we do since we can either talk or go off and do our own thing and we're just happy the way we work out.
OMG yes, I always got the sarcastic/condescending "You should stop talking so much" or "Not much to say?" which always made my already-high levels of self-consciousness and anxiety around people skyrocket! Ever since I was a child, too, and this would come from family members also. I just really wanted to leave and it's why now, at 48, I still hate being in large groups. Add being a single male in the mix and you're seen as either weird, somehow "less than complete", or a charity case. They think they're being witty and clever when in fact, they're simply being obnoxious. All the best from New Zealand. That Venezuelan lad better know just how fortunate he is!
Hi Trixi! Have you stopped making new videos? I haven’t seen one in quite a while and miss them. I know you must be very busy with your family and job. I hope you are doing well!
You are a thoughtful and beautiful young lady. Your skin and ears are what sets you apart to be the attractive person you are for people to appreciate. Never change and always be yourself. Making your videos with your opinion is a sign of strength. Be well and stay safe.
I empathize with you. I have put on some weight over the years (I’m 59), and for some reason people feel the need to say something about it. They seem to think I didn’t know about the extra weight. Some even think it’s okay to pat or rub my belly. It is so frustrating and demeaning. How about just say “hi, Bob, it’s good to see you.” Then go on your way.
Nice introvert meme I read somewhere on the internet: "Introverts constantly get told to be less quiet and to get out of their comfort zone - how come extroverts never get told to shut up and make the zone more comfortable." In all seriousness though, they do often mean well. When I get together with friends or family, it often happens that I don't say something for a long time and just listen, when another person is telling something I do find interesting or entertaining, but don't feel I have something meaningful to contribute (Of course I mean a situation in wich several people are standing in a group or sitting around a table together, not a situation in which someone talks directly at me in particular). Extroverts among my friends and family who notice that often take that as a cue to speak to me and encourage me to say something because they are concerned that I'm bored or feel excluded (because they likely would feel so if they didn't get to be active in the conversation for a longer period of time). They just can't seem to read an introvert's mood, and I get that this can be difficult, especially because I'm not always quiet in a conversation, but can get very talkative when I do have something meaningful to say about a topic. Most of the time, extroverts who poke introverts like that and try to make them "come out of their shell" or "get out among people more" mean well and just confuse being introvert and being shy, they don't get that we are happy being quiet and alone/just among few people most of the time.
Pale and introverted, wonderful combination. Catching a tan has only recently become fashionable; prior to the second worldwar, only the working class and country dwellers were tanned- in European descended areas.
I actually really like your ears. In my family, we all have pointy elf ears that stick out a bit. Over the years they tend to settle down a bit but when I and my sister were babies, my mum was able to recognise us by our ears, just like our dad's ears. I've always found it really cute when I see a little ear-tip through a girl's hair. It's like "Ah - one of us! One of us!" You're in good company. We also have resting sad face, super-pale skin & tend to be quiet when we've nothing we want to say. Maybe you're an elf person like us?
I hear you on the ears. My family always pointed out my oddly shaped eyes and to this day I'm self conscious of them. But you are lovely as you are, no matter what. Keep being amazing.
I started refreshing my forgotten German and found your channel, which is very funny and original btw. I am an introvert and would never dare to make videos on UA-cam, so you are very brave. About the criticisms, there will ALWAYS be someone saying something stupid about someone. Perhaps they were born into a criticizing family, maybe they were abused, maybe they are simply jelous. You will never make everyone happy. I am Norwegian and very pale and proud of it, so you too. Your last video a year ago... I hope you just take time to create videos and have not stopped altogether. Would be a pity, very talented. I am starting from the beginning of your videos. Hope you are well
Trixi (or is it Svenja 😉), it's been a long time since you posted a video... I sincerely hope you are doing well. Sad, insensitive, or just plain mean-spirited people are not worth your time. There are trolls out there (maybe like *Bilge T* ) who just take perverse pleasure in hurting people online. I know that ignoring them is easier said than done, but try to ignore them and their tiny little minds. For what it's worth, I believe you are an amazing person... beautiful, clever, funny, and well-spoken. Your eyes are very expressive and your "quirkiness" (as you put it) is engaging and entertaining. God bless you, and I look forward to your next video 👍
All I can say is that you have always made me feel happy, even on days when things are not going well. I’m pale and introverted as well. Life is good. 😊
Oh ja, wie ich dieses „sag doch auch mal was“ kenne und hasse! In Gesellschaft bin ich ziemlich still. Erst recht, wenn mir ständig jemand ins Wort fällt und mich nicht ausreden lässt. Dann sage ich garnichts mehr. Ich kann dir so was von nachfühlen! Manche sind derart dominant, die kommen rein, setzen sich an den Tisch und fangen an zu Reden. Stundenlang, ohne Pause. Höchstens kurze „sidekicks“ werden akzeptiert um die Monologe zu befeuern. Um solche „Entertainer“ sammeln sich die Leute! Ich nicht. Ich würde mich lieber zur stillen blassen Svenja setzen und mit ihr reden. 😉
Ich hatte eine ähnliche, aber im Prinzip auch gegenteilige Situation (auch mehrmals): Es war bei Familienfeiern. Was fehlte waren Platzkarten. Jedenfalls links von mir das eine Gespräch und rechts von mir ein anderes. So dass ich mich kaum entscheiden konnte, welchem Gespräch ich folgen sollte. Trotzdem habe ich versucht, mich zu beteiligen, konnte aber nichts sagen, ohne sofort abgewürgt zu werden (metaphorisch). Irgendwann mal eine: "Der [mein Name] soll jetzt auch mal etwas sagen." Alles ist still und alle Gesichter wenden sich mir zu, wie man es von Geschütztürmen kennt. Aberm weil ich auch meinen Stolz habe und keine Almosen möchte, habe ich jedesmal gesagt: "Jetzt will ich auch nicht mehr." Aber nicht ein einziges mal wurde ich später darauf angesprochen.
A leader at work has ears like yours. She nearly always wears her hair pulled back which highlights those ears nicely. She also is one of the most positive, energetic people I know so that’s what people tend to notice. You’re a beautiful person with a caring heart. I appreciate you. ⛄️ from Canada 🇨🇦
I can relate to a couple of those comments. I’m a quiet, pale fellow. But one thing that really stuck with me is the couple of occasions where my mother (who is almost always very kind and loving) told me that I needed to gain weight. Yea, I’m tall and on the thinner side, like my mother’s father was, but I’m not a stick figure. I’ve received a lot of negative comments from people over the years, now that I think about it, from being called ugly, to being told that I don’t smile properly. It hurts, even if it’s not meant to hurt. 💔
People can be so judgemental. It's really irritating. I'm an introvert and know exactly what you mean about people telling you to speak. As you say, we don't tell extroverts to shut up. My other irritation with that situation is when you do eventually start talking, these extroverts will then permanently interrupt you, and not allow you to say your piece. I've just learned to keep quiet. It's far less triggering than the interruption thing. Also, having been told (or seen by body language) that no one really cares about what you have to say, I've just learned that there's no point in speaking up. Extremely extroverted people can become very irritating, very quicky - well, the type that always have some kind of axe to grind about something. As for your ears, I haven't really noticed them, as they're hidden by your hair. It's really sad how things that are said to us as a kid can stay with you for your entire life and become so damaging. I'm glad that my fellow rabbits have tried to counteract that with nice comments. The skin colour thing always baffles me. We live in a world where we're told to be careful of the sun because of skin cancer, yet people still perpetuate that you need to be out in the sun, getting some colour. Total double standard.
That's a lot of courage right there! Something all these people who throw away such stupid comments do not have. Usually those people are actually projecting their own fears on you. They will never admit it, but their hurtful comments are actually hiding their own fear of something that you do and they would never be able to do themselves. It also shows how people simply try to fit you in the common stereotypes they are used to deal with, when they can't they come with such stupidity instead of simply accepting differences and carry on. It takes courage to learn from others and accept them, but it's quite easy to attack them. You are beautiful, successful, intelligent and extremely courageous!!
I remember the time I was living in the housing cooperative & someone decided to tell me to "Use my words"; I was thinking & not yet at a point where I want to speak or perhaps even knew if I wanted to. There's a big difference between creating a pause in a conversation where an introvert can speak & demanding they speak.
Other than a bit of French I'm an all Northern European-American (Dark red-brown hair pale skin) and was ruthlessly derided by other kids for being of a vampire like hue which tended to make me blush exacerbating the situation. I grew up in the North East which is very overcast and took a trip to New Mexico at 15 and got a tan after burning and peeling several times then moved to the Upper South and to this day my face neck and arms are one tone the rest of me glows in the dark like you! Svenja don't feel bad it wasn't until I dated a German-American girl who was actually fairer than myself that I realised how attractive it really can be! 🙂
People always say I look angry. that my deep voice sounds aggressive, and I am too direct. I think you look gorgeous. There is nothing wrong with you. People are stupid.
As an introvert myself I believe I know exactly what you mean. I have had to practice mindfulness to get beyond this and have learned to see their words as clouds passing by me instead of words going into me or being attached to me. Your beautiful.
It always surprises me that so many beautiful people have these insecurities about their appearance. By the way Svenja, I really miss your videos! I hope you come back.
When you get the comment about not speaking out in a business meeting remember that it likely means they think you are the sharpest knife in the drawer and are waiting for an insight. If they thought you were out of your depth no one would say a word.
I saw some ~20 pieces on your channel so far and I never ever thought that you are about to cry. Now, when you told it and I think about it, It's a really utterly stupid thing to say. You should probably ignore such comments. Also, it is nice to know your name ^^. I enjoy your sense of humor a lot!
It's crazy how basically everyone gets discriminated for their skin color. I'm also crazy pale, and my skin has always been so thin that it's actually transparent, so I always have dark circles and you can see my veins througout my body. People have literally yelled at me for looking like this, it's utter lunacy. Why can't we all just deal with the fact that skin is different with everyone.
In Renaissance era Spain and colonial Latin America having skin pail enough to see your veins through was called Sangre Azul literally Blue Blood/Blaues Blut which had the same meaning as it does in English, royalty 🙂
@@patrickpleasant151 yes that phrase originates in Spain after the Muslin Moorish invasion from north Africa was repelled, and the old nobility, the El Cid types, took pride in (supposedly) never interbreeding with the dark-skinned rulers and retaining light skin in their bloodline, with veins being more visible thru light skin hence 'blue blood'.
You are delightful in every respect that you have been kind enough to share with your viewers. Thank you for sharing this with us. I can assure you that you are not alone.
Probably one of the greatest orators with delicate sensitivity for any subject as I guess it comes directly from your heart. As opposed to the rest of the majority of orators that speak with many onion layers of deception, you are true blue speaker without hypocrisy or dissimulation. Thank you for your gospel like approach to conveying topics purely always from your heart. God bless!
It's that German girl with the beautiful fair skin. She always thinks before she says something. I wish I would think more before I speak, sometimes I say rash things that I later regret.
Even when I was a child, I was puzzled by someone mentioning that I was tall and that I was quiet, why say something so obvious, do they think I haven’t notized? Or do they want to hurt me? It taught me early in life not to say hurtful things, because I knew how it felt.
What many people forget is you can be an introvert yet also enjoy company and be sociable. Just because we think before we speak, or remain quiet until it gets too important not to say something. From a pale, introvert ginger with large ears.
Hurts me to hear you say you can't let go of the comments; you can let go any time. If you like you, who cares what anyone else thinks? (And as a bonus we like you too ❤️Be safe, be happy, be you. Love and respect from America)
It's so curious to me, when I don't notice things about people and then someone points them out, ...and then those things really stand out, it is too bad those things are usually expressed out of a negative light. I have had huge regrets over little insults I've fed into.
I think your ears are adorable; the very first thing my mother said of me upon my birth was to remark, “oh, it’s a baby, and he has BIG ears!” Big ears unite! 💜
Had my "annual" pay review yesterday (first one in 5 years). Was told again I'm not a "team player". Couldn't tell them what I thought about the 2 other guys I work with. So I keep it to myself. But hey ho , I retire next year.
3:15 I either won't stop talking or i dont talk at all. And yes you get better notes if you should out the answers. I got told both a lot. If Im interested in the topic or can prove that I'm smarter than the rest of the room i won't shut up and everybody get anyoned as shit about me or i just sitt there since and think about what conclusion they come too.
I'm an introvert myself and I can totally relate to your struggles. When we are in our family cabin on vacation and there are guests over, my mom keeps saying "don't spend all day in your room, come out and be social as we have guests today" and even if the guests seem nice, I can't help but being constantly forced into awkward situations where I just sit there listening to conversations between my parents and the guests and I feel that I have little to nothing to contribute with (I typically have more to contribute with if I know the guests well and feel comfortable around them) and most times I can't wait for the guests to leave so that I can go back to my room and do the things I enjoy by myself. I know mom means well by encouraging me to spend time with guests we have over, but she and I are at total opposite ends of the extrovert-introvert scale and she's the biggest extrovert in our family while I'm the biggest introvert of us and while I understand that she gets her energy from spending time with people and having long conversations with them, I wish she understood my need for charging my batteries alone and how I get energy from solitude and and inward focus on things in peace and quiet.
Thank you for opening up. I bet you have tried talking to her about that, right? I can totally relate to everything you're saying. I've been in this situation a lot. My mom isn't necessarily an extrovert, but quite social and communicative.
@@DontTrustTheRabbit Yeah I've talked to her about respecting my need for alone-time and it seems she understands at times but I always get encouraged to join social gatherings in the family and I often join so I don't upset anyone but deep inside, I just wanna join for like five or ten minutes before leaving so I can be by myself again and that's often easier said than done.
I've watched dozens of your videos and never once thought that you looked like you were about to cry. Loved your analysis of the motives of people who tell you to "say something". In America, random people on the street have sometimes told me, "Don't look so serious!" Same assumption of superiority because they are being "positive".

My first exposure to German language that came across was this channel and today and everyday I continue to learn German because I never wanted to give up and the first time I went to Germany was back in 2019 in Frankfort and Berlin Enjoyed it for the first time and I came across your channel back in 2014 and I loved your channel and I definitely missed your presence and continuation of your post. I hope all is well and I will still continue supporting you and come back to the videos I have missed out on.
Thank you for this video! While it makes me sad to hear that you (and many people) have to deal with this, I really did need to hear this, as I am similar to you in that there have been people who have said damaging things to me, and they think little of it. Any time I have confronted them regarding it, they either shrug it off, or tell me I'm being too soft / emotional / picky / insert-any-negative-feeling-here. Empathizing with what you said helped me lift a weight off my shoulders by being better at disregarding their comments. Danke schön! PS: None of the four comments you brought up have I ever thought about you ever since I first saw your videos many years ago!!

As someone who had a small UA-cam channel that is now more or less on permanent hiatus, I know that there can be thousands of reasons for not being active. You always expect an explanation, a goodbye video, or an "I'm taking a gap year" video, but the reality is that your life comes first. Most of the time creators want to continue and just put it off indefinitely due to priorities. This happened to me for example although on a much, much smaller scale. I always wanted to continue, but at some point you can't find the time.
I have no idea what happened to Trixie, if her personal life took priority or if she is even well. I just hope you're alive and well. If you ever decide that you have the desire or even the ability to continue, I have a feeling that your community will be there and ready. And if not, we can still enjoy the content and be eternally grateful for all the work
Is everything OK? I wanted to resume studying German but I see that you stopped posting. I hope you are OK.
We need a Trixie sighting! That cheers your Rabbits up! :)
Your successful, bilingual and beautiful. Don't let the haters get you down
I suppose, more than bilingual.
I could not agree more! Trixi you are THE BEST! 🤗🇩🇪🙏
*you're

You do a very good job in your videos. Your topics are interesting and apply to all of us. Keep up the good work! And, your ears are cute.
where are you? is everything fine?
Maybe try it again?
You're a lovely person that seems like you rock as a mom and role model, especially with your language and connectivity abilities with us through your videos.
I've been termed a 'closet' introvert as my career required me to speak to new people all the time but be able to address rooms with up to 100 students at a time. Most people never thought about me being terrified every single time, but I was. Only those close to me ever knew. It's probably one reason my wife & I get along as well as we do since we can either talk or go off and do our own thing and we're just happy the way we work out.
I used to love seeing your videos, when they showed up on my stream. I noticed you haven't posted in a year. I hope you and your family are okay.❤
OMG yes, I always got the sarcastic/condescending "You should stop talking so much" or "Not much to say?" which always made my already-high levels of self-consciousness and anxiety around people skyrocket! Ever since I was a child, too, and this would come from family members also. I just really wanted to leave and it's why now, at 48, I still hate being in large groups. Add being a single male in the mix and you're seen as either weird, somehow "less than complete", or a charity case.
They think they're being witty and clever when in fact, they're simply being obnoxious.
All the best from New Zealand. That Venezuelan lad better know just how fortunate he is!
Can fully relate to that! Greeting from the other side of the world!
Hi Trixi! Have you stopped making new videos? I haven’t seen one in quite a while and miss them. I know you must be very busy with your family and job.
I hope you are doing well!
There she goes. Disappeared on us like an eichhörnchen 😔
People always say I´m looking sad or angry when I just sit there staring somwhere with no emotions on my Face.
You are a thoughtful and beautiful young lady. Your skin and ears are what sets you apart to be the attractive person you are for people to appreciate. Never change and always be yourself. Making your videos with your opinion is a sign of strength. Be well and stay safe.
I empathize with you. I have put on some weight over the years (I’m 59), and for some reason people feel the need to say something about it. They seem to think I didn’t know about the extra weight. Some even think it’s okay to pat or rub my belly. It is so frustrating and demeaning. How about just say “hi, Bob, it’s good to see you.” Then go on your way.
Guten Morgen trixi freut mich dich zu sehen.
Guten Morgen Johannes! Ebenso! 😊
Nice introvert meme I read somewhere on the internet: "Introverts constantly get told to be less quiet and to get out of their comfort zone - how come extroverts never get told to shut up and make the zone more comfortable."
In all seriousness though, they do often mean well. When I get together with friends or family, it often happens that I don't say something for a long time and just listen, when another person is telling something I do find interesting or entertaining, but don't feel I have something meaningful to contribute (Of course I mean a situation in wich several people are standing in a group or sitting around a table together, not a situation in which someone talks directly at me in particular). Extroverts among my friends and family who notice that often take that as a cue to speak to me and encourage me to say something because they are concerned that I'm bored or feel excluded (because they likely would feel so if they didn't get to be active in the conversation for a longer period of time). They just can't seem to read an introvert's mood, and I get that this can be difficult, especially because I'm not always quiet in a conversation, but can get very talkative when I do have something meaningful to say about a topic. Most of the time, extroverts who poke introverts like that and try to make them "come out of their shell" or "get out among people more" mean well and just confuse being introvert and being shy, they don't get that we are happy being quiet and alone/just among few people most of the time.
Trixie, I miss your videos. I hope you'll start making them again.
Pale and introverted, wonderful combination. Catching a tan has only recently become fashionable; prior to the second worldwar, only the working class and country dwellers were tanned- in European descended areas.
I actually really like your ears. In my family, we all have pointy elf ears that stick out a bit. Over the years they tend to settle down a bit but when I and my sister were babies, my mum was able to recognise us by our ears, just like our dad's ears. I've always found it really cute when I see a little ear-tip through a girl's hair. It's like "Ah - one of us! One of us!" You're in good company. We also have resting sad face, super-pale skin & tend to be quiet when we've nothing we want to say. Maybe you're an elf person like us?
All German girls are 1/4 Valkyrie, it's science lol
I hear you on the ears. My family always pointed out my oddly shaped eyes and to this day I'm self conscious of them. But you are lovely as you are, no matter what. Keep being amazing.
Why are you so quiet? Heard that so many times.
There is always a lot of work behind your videos and i appreciate that. ❤
I started refreshing my forgotten German and found your channel, which is very funny and original btw. I am an introvert and would never dare to make videos on UA-cam, so you are very brave. About the criticisms, there will ALWAYS be someone saying something stupid about someone. Perhaps they were born into a criticizing family, maybe they were abused, maybe they are simply jelous. You will never make everyone happy. I am Norwegian and very pale and proud of it, so you too. Your last video a year ago... I hope you just take time to create videos and have not stopped altogether. Would be a pity, very talented. I am starting from the beginning of your videos. Hope you are well
Love from Canada!
Thank you! 🤗 Lots of love from Germany.
Trixi (or is it Svenja 😉), it's been a long time since you posted a video... I sincerely hope you are doing well. Sad, insensitive, or just plain mean-spirited people are not worth your time. There are trolls out there (maybe like *Bilge T* ) who just take perverse pleasure in hurting people online. I know that ignoring them is easier said than done, but try to ignore them and their tiny little minds.
For what it's worth, I believe you are an amazing person... beautiful, clever, funny, and well-spoken. Your eyes are very expressive and your "quirkiness" (as you put it) is engaging and entertaining. God bless you, and I look forward to your next video 👍
What, I used to watch you vids all the time. Though have not been here in ages. Shocked to see that the last upload was 3 years ago. Hope you are ok.
All I can say is that you have always made me feel happy, even on days when things are not going well. I’m pale and introverted as well. Life is good. 😊
Oh ja, wie ich dieses „sag doch auch mal was“ kenne und hasse!
In Gesellschaft bin ich ziemlich still. Erst recht, wenn mir ständig jemand ins Wort fällt und mich nicht ausreden lässt. Dann sage ich garnichts mehr. Ich kann dir so was von nachfühlen!
Manche sind derart dominant, die kommen rein, setzen sich an den Tisch und fangen an zu Reden. Stundenlang, ohne Pause. Höchstens kurze „sidekicks“ werden akzeptiert um die Monologe zu befeuern.
Um solche „Entertainer“ sammeln sich die Leute! Ich nicht. Ich würde mich lieber zur stillen blassen Svenja setzen und mit ihr reden. 😉
...oder es geniessen nicht reden zu müssen.
Ich auch. Und ich finde ihre Ohren klasse.
Ich hatte eine ähnliche, aber im Prinzip auch gegenteilige Situation (auch mehrmals):
Es war bei Familienfeiern. Was fehlte waren Platzkarten. Jedenfalls links von mir das eine Gespräch und rechts von mir ein anderes. So dass ich mich kaum entscheiden konnte, welchem Gespräch ich folgen sollte. Trotzdem habe ich versucht, mich zu beteiligen, konnte aber nichts sagen, ohne sofort abgewürgt zu werden (metaphorisch). Irgendwann mal eine: "Der [mein Name] soll jetzt auch mal etwas sagen." Alles ist still und alle Gesichter wenden sich mir zu, wie man es von Geschütztürmen kennt. Aberm weil ich auch meinen Stolz habe und keine Almosen möchte, habe ich jedesmal gesagt: "Jetzt will ich auch nicht mehr."
Aber nicht ein einziges mal wurde ich später darauf angesprochen.
A leader at work has ears like yours. She nearly always wears her hair pulled back which highlights those ears nicely. She also is one of the most positive, energetic people I know so that’s what people tend to notice. You’re a beautiful person with a caring heart. I appreciate you. ⛄️ from Canada 🇨🇦
I can relate to a couple of those comments. I’m a quiet, pale fellow. But one thing that really stuck with me is the couple of occasions where my mother (who is almost always very kind and loving) told me that I needed to gain weight. Yea, I’m tall and on the thinner side, like my mother’s father was, but I’m not a stick figure. I’ve received a lot of negative comments from people over the years, now that I think about it, from being called ugly, to being told that I don’t smile properly. It hurts, even if it’s not meant to hurt. 💔
People can be so judgemental. It's really irritating. I'm an introvert and know exactly what you mean about people telling you to speak. As you say, we don't tell extroverts to shut up. My other irritation with that situation is when you do eventually start talking, these extroverts will then permanently interrupt you, and not allow you to say your piece. I've just learned to keep quiet. It's far less triggering than the interruption thing. Also, having been told (or seen by body language) that no one really cares about what you have to say, I've just learned that there's no point in speaking up. Extremely extroverted people can become very irritating, very quicky - well, the type that always have some kind of axe to grind about something.
As for your ears, I haven't really noticed them, as they're hidden by your hair. It's really sad how things that are said to us as a kid can stay with you for your entire life and become so damaging. I'm glad that my fellow rabbits have tried to counteract that with nice comments.
The skin colour thing always baffles me. We live in a world where we're told to be careful of the sun because of skin cancer, yet people still perpetuate that you need to be out in the sun, getting some colour. Total double standard.
"we have the sun inside of us... All right?!" Love it
That's a lot of courage right there! Something all these people who throw away such stupid comments do not have. Usually those people are actually projecting their own fears on you. They will never admit it, but their hurtful comments are actually hiding their own fear of something that you do and they would never be able to do themselves. It also shows how people simply try to fit you in the common stereotypes they are used to deal with, when they can't they come with such stupidity instead of simply accepting differences and carry on. It takes courage to learn from others and accept them, but it's quite easy to attack them. You are beautiful, successful, intelligent and extremely courageous!!
The sun inside you can break through the darkest clouds. Love, care and hugs from Sweden.
I miss your content, please come back.
Two years without the Rabbit. Please come back :)
I remember the time I was living in the housing cooperative & someone decided to tell me to "Use my words"; I was thinking & not yet at a point where I want to speak or perhaps even knew if I wanted to. There's a big difference between creating a pause in a conversation where an introvert can speak & demanding they speak.
Other than a bit of French I'm an all Northern European-American (Dark red-brown hair pale skin) and was ruthlessly derided by other kids for being of a vampire like hue which tended to make me blush exacerbating the situation. I grew up in the North East which is very overcast and took a trip to New Mexico at 15 and got a tan after burning and peeling several times then moved to the Upper South and to this day my face neck and arms are one tone the rest of me glows in the dark like you! Svenja don't feel bad it wasn't until I dated a German-American girl who was actually fairer than myself that I realised how attractive it really can be! 🙂
People always say I look angry. that my deep voice sounds aggressive, and I am too direct. I think you look gorgeous. There is nothing wrong with you. People are stupid.
Thank you for sharing. 🙂
As an introvert myself I believe I know exactly what you mean. I have had to practice mindfulness to get beyond this and have learned to see their words as clouds passing by me instead of words going into me or being attached to me. Your beautiful.
It always surprises me that so many beautiful people have these insecurities about their appearance. By the way Svenja, I really miss your videos! I hope you come back.
Anyone know what happened to Trixie? She all of a sudden disappeared and nowhere to be found. I hope she is OK.
When you get the comment about not speaking out in a business meeting remember that it likely means they think you are the sharpest knife in the drawer and are waiting for an insight. If they thought you were out of your depth no one would say a word.
I saw some ~20 pieces on your channel so far and I never ever thought that you are about to cry. Now, when you told it and I think about it, It's a really utterly stupid thing to say. You should probably ignore such comments. Also, it is nice to know your name ^^. I enjoy your sense of humor a lot!
I understand completely. As a fellow introvert, I often get told I’m antisocial… 🙄
Back off people!!! Trixi is pale because she is a vampire!!! That's just the way she is.
Right, Trixi?
Remember the old saying: "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
It's crazy how basically everyone gets discriminated for their skin color.
I'm also crazy pale, and my skin has always been so thin that it's actually transparent, so I always have dark circles and you can see my veins througout my body. People have literally yelled at me for looking like this, it's utter lunacy.
Why can't we all just deal with the fact that skin is different with everyone.
In Renaissance era Spain and colonial Latin America having skin pail enough to see your veins through was called Sangre Azul literally Blue Blood/Blaues Blut which had the same meaning as it does in English, royalty 🙂
@@patrickpleasant151
Noble paleness.
@@HalfEye79 Indeed! 😎
@@patrickpleasant151 yes that phrase originates in Spain after the Muslin Moorish invasion from north Africa was repelled, and the old nobility, the El Cid types, took pride in (supposedly) never interbreeding with the dark-skinned rulers and retaining light skin in their bloodline, with veins being more visible thru light skin hence 'blue blood'.
you must have very low body fat for a woman if you can see veins throughout your entire body
Hope you're doing well. I stumbled upon another person that was sub'd to your channel and wondered a bit. Take care. Be well.
When i was a younger, my family would say i looked like Brad Pitt, and it pissed me off so much.
Kind of funny when i think about it now.
You are delightful in every respect that you have been kind enough to share with your viewers. Thank you for sharing this with us. I can assure you that you are not alone.
We support you we love you ❤️❤️☺️
"We have the Sun inside of us!"
Soul tribe confirmed. :)
Probably one of the greatest orators with delicate sensitivity for any subject as I guess it comes directly from your heart. As opposed to the rest of the majority of orators that speak with many onion layers of deception, you are true blue speaker without hypocrisy or dissimulation. Thank you for your gospel like approach to conveying topics purely always from your heart. God bless!
It's that German girl with the beautiful fair skin.
She always thinks before she says something.
I wish I would think more before I speak, sometimes I say rash things that I later regret.
Even when I was a child, I was puzzled by someone mentioning that I was tall and that I was quiet, why say something so obvious, do they think I haven’t notized? Or do they want to hurt me? It taught me early in life not to say hurtful things, because I knew how it felt.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you next week".
- Still waiting. 😁
Dont trust the rabbit
What many people forget is you can be an introvert yet also enjoy company and be sociable. Just because we think before we speak, or remain quiet until it gets too important not to say something. From a pale, introvert ginger with large ears.
"Du bist so still! Hast Du Deine Zunge verschluckt? Sag mal was!"
Hoffe du kommst irgendwann wieder zurück...
I have never ever thought you looked sad or about to cry, not ever.
Hurts me to hear you say you can't let go of the comments; you can let go any time. If you like you, who cares what anyone else thinks?
(And as a bonus we like you too ❤️Be safe, be happy, be you. Love and respect from America)
It's so curious to me, when I don't notice things about people and then someone points them out, ...and then those things really stand out, it is too bad those things are usually expressed out of a negative light. I have had huge regrets over little insults I've fed into.
I tell my kids that... Sticks and stones may break bones but names and words have caused wars. Words can be more impactful then any action.
Their is nothing people bear more impatiently, or forgive less than contempt and an injury is sooner forgotten than an insult. -Lord Chesterfield
Where are you? Miss your great German lessons. I hope all is well.
I think your ears are adorable; the very first thing my mother said of me upon my birth was to remark, “oh, it’s a baby, and he has BIG ears!” Big ears unite! 💜
You are an amazing person. Thank you for putting yourself out there.
Trixieeee, wost du hingegangen? Wir vermissen dich und deine Videos so so so seeehr😢
Had my "annual" pay review yesterday (first one in 5 years). Was told again I'm not a "team player". Couldn't tell them what I thought about the 2 other guys I work with. So I keep it to myself. But hey ho , I retire next year.
3:15 I either won't stop talking or i dont talk at all. And yes you get better notes if you should out the answers. I got told both a lot. If Im interested in the topic or can prove that I'm smarter than the rest of the room i won't shut up and everybody get anyoned as shit about me or i just sitt there since and think about what conclusion they come too.
I'm an introvert myself and I can totally relate to your struggles. When we are in our family cabin on vacation and there are guests over, my mom keeps saying "don't spend all day in your room, come out and be social as we have guests today" and even if the guests seem nice, I can't help but being constantly forced into awkward situations where I just sit there listening to conversations between my parents and the guests and I feel that I have little to nothing to contribute with (I typically have more to contribute with if I know the guests well and feel comfortable around them) and most times I can't wait for the guests to leave so that I can go back to my room and do the things I enjoy by myself. I know mom means well by encouraging me to spend time with guests we have over, but she and I are at total opposite ends of the extrovert-introvert scale and she's the biggest extrovert in our family while I'm the biggest introvert of us and while I understand that she gets her energy from spending time with people and having long conversations with them, I wish she understood my need for charging my batteries alone and how I get energy from solitude and and inward focus on things in peace and quiet.
Thank you for opening up. I bet you have tried talking to her about that, right? I can totally relate to everything you're saying. I've been in this situation a lot. My mom isn't necessarily an extrovert, but quite social and communicative.
@@DontTrustTheRabbit Yeah I've talked to her about respecting my need for alone-time and it seems she understands at times but I always get encouraged to join social gatherings in the family and I often join so I don't upset anyone but deep inside, I just wanna join for like five or ten minutes before leaving so I can be by myself again and that's often easier said than done.
Trixie! Where do you go??
I've watched dozens of your videos and never once thought that you looked like you were about to cry. Loved your analysis of the motives of people who tell you to "say something". In America, random people on the street have sometimes told me, "Don't look so serious!" Same assumption of superiority because they are being "positive".
Ist die hellhäutige Deern nicht die, die so tolle Videos macht? XD
Zur Schweigsamkeit habe ich ein schönes Sprichwort, Rabbitmama:
Rede nur, wenn es besser ist, als dein Schweigen..
Schönen Sonntag Ben
Love your videos, as always! I hope you know that we all think you're awesome!
My first exposure to German language that came across was this channel and today and everyday I continue to learn German because I never wanted to give up and the first time I went to Germany was back in 2019 in Frankfort and Berlin Enjoyed it for the first time and I came across your channel back in 2014 and I loved your channel and I definitely missed your presence and continuation of your post. I hope all is well and I will still continue supporting you and come back to the videos I have missed out on.
Thank you for this video!
While it makes me sad to hear that you (and many people) have to deal with this, I really did need to hear this, as I am similar to you in that there have been people who have said damaging things to me, and they think little of it. Any time I have confronted them regarding it, they either shrug it off, or tell me I'm being too soft / emotional / picky / insert-any-negative-feeling-here.
Empathizing with what you said helped me lift a weight off my shoulders by being better at disregarding their comments.
Danke schön!
PS: None of the four comments you brought up have I ever thought about you ever since I first saw your videos many years ago!!
