I love you for this. It honestly made me tear up because we have all hated ourselves at one time or another and I too have been working hard at loving the person I am not just what's on the outside. this video inspires me probably more than you know and I thank you for this amazing reminder.
Wonderful video, Anastasjia
This is honestly some of the best advice I've ever gotten thanks so much Anastajia. You are so brave and so strong. Really thank you so much this video is life changing xxx
I am so happy that me being open and honest has helped you in some way, that is the reason why I do what I do! A million hugs to you!
It really has, a billion hugs back!
we're all the same thing.
got to tell myself this when the social anxiety hits. love you
It is what I tell myself every time I feel my anxiety kicking in! It will work wonders.
I love you!
Thank you! I really needed this right now!:D:D
I hate how mental disorders are romanticized in our society like depression, anxiety, anorexia etc,etc... I think that sad and depressed protagonists from all the books I read and movies I watched in my younger teens made me think it was cool to be mental, and so I started pretending to hate myself until I hated myself for real. I'm finding myself comparing myself to everyone, and I've stopped doing the things I really love.
But you reminded me of what it was like, when I was happy with myself. So thank you dearly
I send all the positive vibes your way, you can find yourself again I promise! When you do your heart will be full of so much happiness and life! Stay strong!
can I post this video on facebook. I think people could learn from it.
I agree with that whole heartedly " self acceptance heals sooo many ills"
Im about to hope on that boat...
The love we really crave from others is what we desire from ourselves the most.
Anastasjia is really my favourite youtuber and the only one whose video updates i really follow. She is such a great person, the way she appears and talks and the thoughts she has. I agree so much with her words and I think there should be more such people, instead of those doing stupid challenges over and over.
I tried to write this comment so many times, but it all comes down to one thing: thank you. Thanks for the kind words, for showing us that imperfections that makes us who we really are and we need to embrace them - flaws and all. Your honesty saved my day and helped me to see things from a new perspective - since I was feeling pretty shitty on the last couple days.
You're a beautiful, unique and brave human being.
I know this is old, but I’ve been going through a really weird life change, and watching all of your videos almost daily has helped in so many ways. I have never in my life related so much to someone. Thank you for sharing your soul. It’s done more for me than I could thank you for.
This video actually saved me. Yesterday, after 9 years of playing volleyball and trying to fit in with those girls when I so obviously didn't my entire life, It happened so that I'm stopped playing my senior year. This video helped me realize that it's for the best. Playing with them made my depression and anxiety go through the roof when it is already horrific to cope with. And you made me see that I need to find my true passion and true love for who I really am not who I let people shape me into being. You are truly an angel I respect and look up to you so much. I've been obsessed with your videos all summer but this one at this time just hit home and brought me to tears because I'm exhausted of hating myself, my body, and my mental illnesses. You show me that I'm not alone and there are good people and people like me who struggle with social anxiety and self love . Thank you.
You are such a strong amazing woman!! I personally have been bullied since I was in middle school and now that I'm 24 years old and in college life seems so much simple. I could have ignored all those things people told me. Even in my family some of my own cousins would tell me I would never get a boyfriend because I was ugly or fat or had acne. And I see myself everyday in the mirror and am glad to be breathing and well! That I'm alive and in school and that I have support from my mom and dad and my boyfriend who I've been with for 3 years. You are so right!! If we only believed in ourselves. In our possibilities, took just one minute to appreciate who we are no one could have any power over our being. Stay strong girl I love your channel even more now! ^.^
The same issues and struggles you have are some things that i've gone through and still going through, so to hear you speak about it so openly and encouragingly is wonderful. It's really a shame (my own experience) when people who you've trusted let you down, and a lot of that depression and self harm that i've gone through is because of them which I now can see is so so wrong. You are my role model and this'll prolly be buried in the mass comments you get, but you are wonderfully made something a lot of us need to remember.
You are so smart and so beautiful (inside and out). Every single thing you said made sense and you didn't ramble at all. I am going though (and have gone through) the self-hatred and lack of self-acceptance and the feeling that people are watching and judging. You are so brave to talk about this.
I sit here and look at how pretty and talented and funny you are and think, "I would give anything to be like her, how can she not see how amazing she is?" But then I realize that this condition that we both suffer with is not rational. We can't tell our anxiety to see things how they REALLY are, it just doesn't work that way. But we can take steps to start thinking healthier, like the ones you mentioned in this video.
My prayer for you is that you keep continuing to grow and learn and love yourself every day! Know that you are helping SO many people by talking about this and know how amazing you are.
You've just become one of my favorite youtubers omg.
I'm in college with one semester left and I'm terrified about what the future holds. I've suffered with post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety/depression, and social anxiety. I don't have love for myself and it's hit me like a brick wall in my last year of college. I am so glad I came across your video. My depression has been uncontrollable lately and I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know how to be happy. This video has made me realize that there is hope for me getting better.
You are always so genuine and beautiful Anastajia, even more so without your makeup. I think I speak on behalf of all of your followers when I say that every single one of your videos and all of the experiences you have shared with us on your channel inspire and teach us so many things. You've helped me through some pretty tough times- when I thought no one else understood or could relate, your videos were always there for me. Thank you for being there and thank you for constantly trying to better both yourself and others. We love you xxx
"I'm not this body I am the soul within." Is my favorite quote & I'd thought I'd share. :)
Anastasia i suffer from chronic depression and social anxiety and i identify myself with you a lot. You are a beautiful girl and i hope you remember it every day!!
You are so inspirational. I'm italian so I'm sorry for my bad english ahah I just wanted to thank you. You are incredible, I love how you care to give advice to other people learning from your experience, I think you are so kind and lovely to do this. You help me so much when I feel sad or just not happy about who I am, you make me appreciate myself again inside and outside. Keep going, you are strong and I admire you so much, you give me the strenght to get up and smile and say "fuck you" to all the people who try to bring me down. Love you!
Oh my god you are the sweetest person ever! I appreciate how open you are and willing to share your thoughts to help people. I suffer from an eating disorder as well, rn I just had a mini binge and was so tempted to purge, but watching this changed my mind, even if just for a moment! I hope you can completely get better from social anxiety. x
I only post personal videos in hopes of helping at least someone. Knowing that I helped you rethink purging warms my heart and I wish I could be there for you every second to tell you it's not worth it. You're beautiful and worth so much more than purging. Stay strong and stay true to yourself! xoxo
Oh dear, thank you. While I was listening to you, I started thinking about the stuff that's happening in my life and it made me come to more and more conclusions and now, I actually feel like more confident about the choices I'm going to make. So what I'm trying to say - thank you for leaving such a positive impact on me. I love you to bits and man, you have a beautiful personality. ♥️
I feel you. I didn't go to school for a year and I felt different because everyone went to school. I felt like I sucked and was a waste of space. I just know how you feel. Just want you to know that you are not.
1. You are like the most beautiful girl out there, in and out. The world would be so much more ugly without you. I am not even telling you this to make you feel better.
2. You learn things too. You're not that different! You just do it another way and that's fine. I'm actually really proud of you that you are able to find that strenght. That's amazing you know! You little smartiepants!
3. You make me happy, yes you truly do. I watch your videos and it makes me feel happy. And probably thousands of other humanbeings out here.
4. You probably do feel alone in this specific period of time, as I recognize every little thing in you, in me. And I don't know if it makes you feel okay but... Do you feel the warm little distant hugs we are giving? We are here for you!
Just a little reminder for you that you are okay the way you are and that you are loved for it.
I don't know. I feel your pain and I decided to work on it too because that is the only thing you can right? Try...
And we gonna rock everyone while we trying to make us love us more and better!
Stay strong. I know you will. ♥
When I watch your videos I literally feel like I'm listening to myself. Thank you so much for being so brave and sharing your love
This nearly brought me to tears. You are so right! There is so much pressure nowadays on accepting your body as it is and learning to love your physical self - But the focus is completely off. We need to learn and accept our souls and our authentic identity because at the end of the day that is where our true beauty is.
Hi, Anastasjia, I'm from Brazil I just loved the way you talk and the way you open yourself to talk about this things about loving yourself. Hear about your history and the way you're learning to hold on it makes me more stronger and makes me think about how i'm fool to care about what the others tell about me. I'm in love with your videos. ♥
wow I'm crying I've done what you are talking about my entire life 50 plus years . you have shown this too me I see it now. why do I always put my value into the hands of others??
Thank you For being you.
The first thing I thought when I started watching this video was, "She looks beautiful!" And I completely believe that our inner beauty alters our outward appearance. You are beautiful inside and out and I love watching your videos because they always leave me in a positive mood. Thank you for being such an honest and genuine inspiration to a lot of people. I have complete respect for you and wish you the best as you continue to work on the things you have mentioned. Life is a hard, long, beautiful process and I'm grateful that you are willing to share your life with us. Sending much love your way!!
Hi Anastasjia! I love you! You are legen- wait for it -DARY!
Hehe, thank you!
Anastasjia, thank you so much for this. I really needed this video today.
Firstly, I need to say that I absolutely adore you. You're that kind of person whose presence (even if it's through the computer screen) is just calming.
I've had a very similar past to yours in the sense that I have struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts since I was very young, almost lost my life to an eating disorder, and struggle with severe social anxiety. I waste so much of my life hiding from the world out of fear of being judged, that it actually sickens me.
I have had to quit every part time job I have ever had because of my anxiety. I have had panic attacks and have started crying while at work. I have thrown anxiety-driven fits in public. It is mortifying to me.
It is so inspiring to me to see how far you have come and you really give me hope that some day I can actually be better. I find that I fell like there is no hope most of the time, but you give me that hope.
Something that you said that also really resonated with me was your hiding parts of yourself out of fear of judgment. I was bullied pretty badly when I was in middle school. I read a lot of books, I drew a lot (mostly anime things), I read a lot of manga, I listened to alternative music, and I wrote a lot. When I went into high school, I did everything in my power to hide these pieces of myself so that I could just be "normal." I hid them so much that I wound up losing those things, the drawing, the writing, the reading, that made me who I am. I am just starting to regain those parts of me, and you know what? I definitely lost some friends in the process, but I have also realized who my real friends are.
Sorry this was so long, I just really wanted to thank you for making this video and for being you. Can't wait until your next video =)
You have honestly saved me and I thankyou so so much for that. You are a beautiful human being inside and out! Positive vibes💘
I know how you feel, i'm 15 years old and sometimes i really try to love myself but that is hard, i dont like myself much but i always have to try, thank you. Now i can love myself a little bit more :)
Dude, I feel like I am speaking for plenty of us when I say thank you for this video. It is one that spoke truthfully and beautifully and helped me hear what I needed to hear in my life right now. From being hated, to self-hate, to anxiety... It reinforces a lot that I have learnt because of those happenings... You are wonderful and you have probably helped so many people with this video so feel proud.
I don't want to come off as creepy haha but I have literally watched over 10 of your videos in a row just now. I relate to you SO much. I actually recorded a video of my own that I'm going to put up soon ( as soon as I figure out how to edit it. I'm technologically challenged lol)... But literally every word you've said has been so uplifting for me and I can honestly say that I'm just in love with your soul! You're amazing and so strong and self aware. I also dealt with depression off and on since middle school. I was made fun of in 6th grade for being nerdy and overweight and that really triggered my social anxiety, my eating disorder, and my depression. I was suicidal in 7th grade and it's so sad that I wasted my childhood with all these negative, self shaming thoughts. I ended up developing an ED similar to anorexia but not quite as severe. I just continued to be this way for a very extended amount of time and had no life outside of obsessing about my body. Eventually, after being prescribed Lexapro for "stress related symptoms" I started to allow myself to eat more and more and eventually began binging. I was very embarrassed and ashamed of my rapid weight gain. I was a vegan for five years and decided to try the 80/10/10 thing. I love fruit and I loved eating and thought it would be the prefect way to stop restricting and nourish my body healthfully. I gained even more weight :O ... It took me forever to recover honestly, I couldn't get "restrict" out of my head.. And for me, I've found that this was the exact reason I kept triggering myself to binge. It took a while for my body and mind to trust me, but I finally feel like I'm there. I'm still a bit ashamed of the body I currently have, but I appreciate it oh so much and it's appearance no longer dictates my happiness or the love that I have for the soul that I am... And again, just thank- you for being such a beautiful person inside and out
I still don't know if I have social anxiety, but I can relate to most of the things you said that used to go through your mind.
It's really hard for me to stop being so self-conscious, but your advice encouraged me to keep trying to change the way I think. Thank you so much :)
Today is the first time i view your channel. I find myself in a really difficult state of mind right now, i hope during the new year things will get better. However i believe it was meant for me to find your channel at this exact moment and i am getting a stronger and stronger believer of law of attraction
You are extremely beautiful inside and out and you have an influence over people! Do not forget that! Keep doing whatever you are doing because it is working! I wish you love and luck xoxox
You're so right, I just wish bodily acceptance was easier done than said. Don't worry by the way college wise honey! I'm 27 this October and I'm only going to college now as an adult. When I was 19 I dropped out of college to go to work, something I thought would be the best decision for my future career, and then the recession kicked in. Now I'm going back as a late twenty something, it's never too late! Big hugs to you, and again you're so right x
You should feel proud about yourself accepting your problems and also share it with others.I also have an eating desorder and depression I know how you feel so it's so hard to recover but there is a lot of people like us that don't judge and support you ,
I started crying :') This video helps so much to understand what really matters in this life. I am that kind of person who always worries about how I look and when I'm happy with one thing then I find another thing to hate myself. This video helped me realize how much time people waste worrying how you look and hating yourself, that's waste of your time and happiness. This is so true to find what you really are and what makes you shine :) Now I regret the time when I only thought about these things that made me unhappy so THANK YOU Anastasjia :') I love you so much and let's be free together
This was so uplifting, I needed this. I've also suffered from depression/anxiety for most of my life. In a sense it has crippled me from doing what I love to do and need to do. I recently started therapy and I'm hoping to embark on a journey of healing & self-acceptance. We should all take care of the sacred vessel we were born with that holds our mind and spirit. Because after all, we are only left with ourselves at the end of the day. Thank you, Anastasjia. Not only for this video but for everything, for being you. You have a beautiful heart.
You are such a beauty and obviously an old soul. Thank you for being willing to be so vulnerable and real.
this is so honest and lovely, it's amazing how you can openly talk about these issues and allow yourself to develop and see this is a kinda of positive light, because it makes you who you are today. You're so strong and we all admire you for that, because I don't know anyone else who could open up like you just have.
Awesome advice :)
I have been dealing with a break up that left me feeling worthless and just not important in life but I told myself that I have to stop thinking so negative and I have to stop putting myself down.
So I have been working on loving myself and just helping myself realize that im an amazing, loving, caring, funny, and dorky human being and whoever doesnt see that or appreciate that can just suck it :)
Yes its been hard to change my mentality on how I view the world and myself but im taking it one step at a time and this video was just perfect
hi anastasjia, i just wanted to say that i admire people like you that go through tough situations and stay strong. im striving to becoming a psychologist and i want to help people with situations like these and spread the message that youre sending out to others and help as many people as i can because i do believe the world can become a better place if we start loving others but most importantly ourselves. you may never see this or you may, but thank you because this video made me want to help people more than i already did. stay strong girl.
we want to be perfekt for everyone, because we havent't learn to do mistakes and to take them as a lesson. We think everyone loves us when we are perfekt. but we don't realize that we ruin ourselves with this behavior. that we go over our whishes and our needs. I say 'we' because I know that there are many of us out there, dealing with same problems. but as I grew older, I'm 30 now, I realize that everyone does mistakes and that no one really cares about it and it starts getting more easy to let your perfectionism and the high stndards you have set on yourself go. Thank you for your sincerity! xxx
this seems to have been one of the only self acceptance videos that has really hit home, everything you said made complete sense to me. honestly anastasjia, its so great to see how positive you can be, youre truly my inspiration. thank you x
When you talked about your passion for science you looked so happy and your eyes were so bright, God. You deserve happiness and knowledge and a lot of more stuff. You're such a lovely person and I'm glad I found your UA-cam. Hugs xo
Really good advice! Can you please film a video about how you meditate/ your meditation routine? :)
I know how you feel.. please know that you are not alone.. I am 25 and I didn't start going to college till I was 23.. I also struggle with severe anxiety and self hate.. and I know the feeling of thinking that everyone is judging you but just know that there are far more people who love you than people who think badly of you.. I have to constantly remind myself of that.. you are beautiful and I'm glad that you are trying your hardest to overcome it.. a lot of people don't realize that they even have the problem to begin with..
And also I think you should go to your community college and talk to the financial aid offices they will help you.. I didn't realize how easy it was until someone helped me..
I hope everything turns out wonderful for you. you truly are an amazing person and I feel like we could def. be best friends
Love you girl
This summer i tried to find who i am as a person because i wasn't sure. I found some things i loved to do like ride a bike or sit and role around in the grass. It might sound stupid to some people but its true. It made me smile and happy which sometimes it hard for me to do. I felt that you taught me so much Anastasjia and i cant thank you enough for you words of wisdom :) Also I'm starting school in less than a week this was the motivation i needed to go back there! Thank you again! Much love
I am very glad for you to have this kind of acceptance now, you deserve it, we all deserve it. I think you are very unique and good looking, inspiring too.
wow, i feel exactly the same way with my anxiety. I always feel like someone is always out to get me or is constantly judging me. Mostly, i feel this way with my parents, particularly with my mom. Anything they say seems like a judgment towards me. It really does put a strain on our relationship, but i'm TRYING to make it better and not take everything they say so seriously. It's hard though. This video was amazing. Thank You :-) xx
I've just noticed that you look like Emilia Clarke (in my opinion). This video is absolutely beautiful and powerful. As someone who's also struggled with an eating disorder, depression and social anxiety, everything you said really hit home to me. Thank you so much for uploading this
Love you girly!! So proud of you for wanting to make some positive changes for yourself. You can do it. xxxxx
I really needed this right now. Things have been so hard for years and I stopped doing things I love and I considered dropping out of uni... but just a couple of days ago I wanted to try and get back on track. However, I just feel like I keep falling down this hole with no way up. Thank you for being raw and opening up. It makes me want to try harder. I also suffer from depression, eating disorders and social anxiety so I understand. I love you, please stay strong.
BTW you actually look so much better without makeup. You're a natural beauty. ♡
hey! I really like your vids. Thank you. Even if I read/heard those things about self-acceptance and self-loving before, I feel like I still need to hear it over and over again. Your vids are so inspirational. I have done some progress in the past few days. Last week I was bored and started to watch diffrent vlogs (many inspirational and supportive youtubers here) and found your channel. I like all of your vids but your self-help list really maked me realise that trying to be positive and enjoy life is really something I have to work for. I cant continue as I always do and just hope/expect that things will change. I always thought that if i just got that or that or reached that goal or something, things would be great and i would be happy. Now I am 25, finished studying in university, got a job, live with boyfriend, have a dog (my big dream, dog training is one of my biggest interests) and I am sooo disappointed that I am not more happy. I worked so hard to reach my dreams but my feelings are the same. I just start to dream about other stuff, u know. So the past few days I have been taking some of your advices and it forced me to be more aware of my thoughts and analyze them. I dont always succeed to change them effectively thoug. But just the awareness is something good. BUT today I had a really bad day. My head felt heavy, i was tired, irritated, sad and i was aware of it and really tried to relax, be positive etc. but it just didnt work no matter what. I felt trapped, choked and didnt know what I could do. The worst part is that I still feel like I need to "play" that person I want to be in front of my collegues, warm, helpful, positive and that just maked me really sick today. When I feel ok i find it easy to be more positive but when I am sad or angry or tired it's so hard. So I figured that I should watch this video and now I feel instantly better. Thank you. Do you have some advice for what to do when u just cant listen to your own advice in your head. when it feels impossible to change the way of thinking. when your are at work and just cant go away and take a pause from everything?
Anastasjia seriously I feel you sooooo much, your life is my life!!!I've had eating desorders for years and I really wanted to stop living because of the fear of what other people may or may not think and stuff like this!! I hated myself and still now I can't accept myself completely; I've social anxiety but I'm trying to focus on my goals in life and on my future....dance is my biggest passion and it helps me sooo much in this process and I hope one day I'll be happy with who I am.
This video is amazing, really true and motiational; thanks cause I feel like I'm not alone!!! I admire you so much xx
girl you are amazing, the way that you talk about all this stuff, that just touched my hearth, because im just the same , my life has been basically thinking about what the people its going to say about me, about my face , my clothes, everything and that´s the worst thing i could ever do :/ putting my happiness in others hands...
and sometimes i want to stop eating and doing tons of exercise but i have gastritis and my stomach hurts very much so i need to eat , because i care much more about my health that about my anorexic thoughts... i do my best to push people´s shit away but when someone tell me something rude about how i look i feel soooo bad :/ its terrible for me, but this video its just awesome :3 thank u :)
Thank you so much for this video -- I really really needed it. I've been struggling with anxiety, depression, and body image a LOT lately...
It's clear that talking about all of this was really hard but I appreciate it so much.
Who would give this a thumbs down?! You're beautiful inside and out! Loooooved this video, girl. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Now that I have seen our video I'm really inspired. I'm suffering from eating deasorder and depression. I also have social anxiety. I'm so afraid of people, but at the same time I always want to know what people thinks about me. I don't know how to became as strong as you. I want to be happy, I just wanna live the life I think I deserve. Like you do. Give me strength please. (I'm french so please forgive me for my english)
Thanks again, I love your videos, keep doing what you love.
I love you xx
thank you so much for this video. i believe that the people like us (and even the people with less difficulties) can uncover the path leading to the lightness in your heart that has always been there. i'll never stop watching your videos
You are a really beautiful person inside and out. And sometimes peoples souls come onto this earth with their souls on a journey to learn self love. Every experience we go through is one step closer on that journey. We are souls that are so un-used to the entity of having a body that we are actually on this planet learning to have a human experience. Learning to balance the mind and the body. ** ♡
Thanks you for this video, I know I'm young but I have been threw depression and suicidal thoughts and attempts and my depression is coming back to me little by little and I'm relying on pills to keep me happy. But this video made me think and I'm going to try to just focus on my self and to love my self. Thank you.
This really hit home. Its so lovely to hear the happiness in your voice when you speak about your passion for learning. One of the things I try to remember is how much mental energy it takes out of me to try to be perfect. Being positive takes alot of energy too but with time it'll be worth it. Superproud of you, hope you have a wonderful day :)
I hope you know how beautiful, amazing, smart and talented you are. No one is perfect, but you are one of those people that stand out, and shine, a bit more than others. Wish you all the best
You've made me cry. Anastasjia you have a beautiful soul. This time of year is always difficult for me. And I realize I fall into a rut of unhappiness/ anxiety/ and over all it becomes a time of self- loathing. Thank you for your words full of positivity. Please remember to keep your words in mind whenever you feel sad or in place of unhappiness. I really do love the little friendship I've gained through your UA-cam channel. Your view on things is really admirable, so again thank you. And remember we are all always here for you whenever you feel stuck. 💕
This was the best advice I've gotten so far today, because I've been struggling with depression and social anxiety since I was 12 and now I m 18, but thank you for making this video, and im so thankful that you didn't committed suicide. Because if you do this video won't exist. And you know im Christian and I will love to pray for you and your depression and social anxiety, because when my mom and i prayed one time I felt peace, so im going to pray for you so you will feel peace as well. And you don't have to worry about nothing. And just know that God is there when you feel down or when your crying, because he cares about you. And he created you perfect. If you don't know him or something just talk to him say hey jesus and he will respond. Im not even kidding. He will help you. He's the only doctor the can cure you in seconds. And he knows you perfectly. Hes your father. The one in Heaven. And hes looking down and hes telling you that dont be afraid, for i am with you, anywhere you goeth.
You always know the right thing to say, you have already helped a lot of people including me, so thank you and keep being who you are 'cause you're a wonderful person
I think it is a really courageous act, to make such a video like this official, so that many people can watch it and have also the chance to judge about you as well. So this shows that you really learned about how to keep a distance between the judgement of others and what you're gonna thinkin' about yourself and that this what you're talking about is real and that you've changed you're mind. You are really brave to do this and I must say I respect you a lot for doing it, 'cause I could never do this.
It is really wonderful, that you are so open and honest while talking about your thoughts and these things nobody want others to know in this mental consistance.
This video helped me thinking about my way to look at this topic, because I can understand how you feel in many ways and I enjoy to watch it two times again, because it is so authentic and you really know what you are talking about.
I wish you the best for the constant process of finding self acceptance, you're a really beautiful person, from inside AND outside and I really think that you're on the right way. :)
I wish it was as easy as you make it sound. But that was beautifully spoken and it really is something I need to work on. We should all love ourselves a little bit more each and everyday
You're extremely brave for overcoming all your struggles and being able to openly talk and advice others. Wish you the best of luck and you achieve all that you aspire to be. :)
i love how real this video was anastasjia cause i could relate to it a lot ive been struggling with social anxiety my whole life i have let it take control of my life i was supposed to go to college i went to beauty school and to medical school but was not able to follow my dreams because of my social anxiety my depression it takes a toll on me and everything you said was so inspiring society is focused in looks and it mainly happens in teens just like it did to me im always trying to please others improving my image but i also agree that we are supposed to love who we really are deep inside cause our looks well only last a few years and we will only be left with are personality are soul we are all humans we all have different thoughts opinions
What you discussed in this video hit home so hard. Being able to relate and know that someone is going through what your going through is really comforting. I like to believe that these things happen for a reason and they help mold us into better people. You are a genuinely amazing person Anna. Thank you for sharing xo
It takes soo much courage to say all the things that you said in this video and even more to upload it for anyone to see, thank you, what you've said and done inspires me, you're suddenly my fave
This means so much to me, thank you. this really made me cry. i need to try to love myself for who i am. thank you x
Thank you for this!! :3
My anxiety cripples me more than I should let it. It's better than it used to be but I still have issues with it & I hate that. I have struggled with depression on and off for years since I was a child. I've came close to attempting suicide numerous times, but thankfully I had a small voice within that stirred me away from that .
I'm out of school as well. And I, too, felt like a loser for so long. My dad didn't help matters much either. All in all, I am getting better though. And I have found something that I enjoy doing and I plan to start school to pursue it next Fall. I kinda have UA-cam, in general, to thank for that one, haha. I also want to thank you for being real with us. You're attitude and genuineness is what drew me to your channel in the first place. Keep it up, girlie.
Thank you for making this video. Only recently have I learnt the importance of loving and accepting yourself and acknowledging that you deserve to be happy. It's not easy but its incredibly important and I can already see positive changes in my life. Wishing you all the best xxx
T___T thank you Anastasjia ..*hugs you* ..these are truly golden words ..I will try my best not to care what other people think and just be myself ..♡
my heart shattered watching this cause it's so relatable to what ive been facing my whole life. thank you for this, love you so much :'(
I have (or sould say had, in the past, for not ruin the present) the same problem that you had. Seeing this video make me feel soooo great because you passed the same shit that I am trying to get out of my life. So it's been a huge suportment and inspiration, thank you :)
Great video. I've thought a lot of these thoughts before, especially the not giving a crap about what people think. When I'm anxious I tell myself "You're awesome, and we're all just humans living here together with different situations." I'm really happy that you figured all of this out at an early age. I wish I had >_< you're AWESOME!!
Thank you so much for sharing such personal things. The advice really helps me reevaluate my perspective because i too suffer from social anxiety a lot :(
Thank you. You are amazing and the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Not just outside, but inside. I truly believe the reason you are so beautiful is because your kindness and openness is shining through. Keep believing in yourself. :)
This video is everything.
This video is so pure and honest, I felt like you were sitting in my room and talking.. tet-a-tet a meant and I felt so cosy and secure :3
It would be amazing if you will make a "how to get over a break up" video or something like that for lonely and hurted people ♥
Thank you so so so so much, I just actually loved myself a bit more! 90% left, I love you
You are soo great by doing this , maybe u dont know it but this means a lot for some of us and if you ever feel like u are not being enough just look at that strong girl who is THERE, and everyone can see it, so do you!
Your outside is stunningly beautiful. but more importantly your inside seems honestly so simple and sweet. Your videos are really cute and creative, keep making them and keep being you :)
You are so wise and wonderful beyond your years Anastajia, hearing you talk about your personal experience is amazing and you are so kind to share it with us.
Don't worry about following and doing the same , like others going to school. Many great people are SELF studied, and have done more for the world than many who have gone to college. There are many ways to learn more and grow :) . Sending much love to you
I've recently just started following you and this has been my favorite so far!
I have so much respect for you for sharing something so personal with everyone to help make people in similar situations feel happier, you are an amazing person! I wish I could be as strong as you when it comes to things like this
You encourage me. So immensely! It's hard to convey sincerity through a youtube comment but Anastasia you are helping me, you have no idea! This came on the perfect day, so much in my life is changing and my anxiety only seems to get worse but with your help and encouragement i have a lot more to look forward to in life! Thank you so much friend. -Your friend Priscilla

I really needed this right now. Although I am In a different situation and I am mostly dealings with feeling alone I am glad you posted this :)
This is so wonderful, and so true. I think for a lot of people that this is something they need to realize and keep in mind, including myself. I'm gonna come back and watch this every time I'm feeling bad about something/myself, because I know it'll improve my thought processes instantly. Thank you for your insight and experience of it, it's absolute evidence that there are better things to come
Watching this was like watching myself. Everything you said was so honest and so well put.
