    People don’t realize how valuable it is to have someone this honest. It’s easy to not be aware how we come off to others so to have someone be brutally honest as she is IMO is useful for learning, growing and raising your self awareness. Great video!

    • @CherylD
      @CherylD 2 роки тому +30

      Agreed. I thought she was so brutally honest that it shocked me but in a good way. That’s why im in the comments to see if others felt the same way.
      Now i also think that he’s only hearing this because of the video and that’s the game… Like, she made it very clear that he’s rude. Like RUDE RUDE but it’s when he’s the RUDEST that she hates it the most right? And he was surprised.
      What i’m trying to say is that she’s honest and telling him now because she can but in their everyday life he doesn’t seem to listen or pay attention to the way he treats other people.

There are so many other influencers that would censor anything that makes them look less than awesome and then build a toxic cult following around them.
