Yeah why do we feel this way? Like even if Im by myself and I don’t execute something the way I envisioned it the first time I get so down on myself. It’s so weird.
This exact FEAR is what kept me from starting my UA-cam channel for 10 YEARS! I thought, “my life isn’t interesting enough, nobody wants to hear what I have to say😓.” But you know what, I took that leap of faith this year in April and even though I don’t get all the support I would like from family or friends, this community has been so welcoming and positive so far. And it feels good to know that I am encouraging other moms and making a difference in their lives by sharing my motherhood journey and tips as a doula. I’m not afraid to be seen trying anymore ❤️. Thank you for this video, it definitely encouraged me to keep going 😌!
I've been telling myself "I want to try too many things to be afraid at being bad at them". Life is too limited if you only want to do things you're good at. Thank you for this.
My mantra this year was “Don’t be afraid to be bad at something new” and it’s amazing what you discover about yourself when you literally just allow yourself to be human/vulnerable.
Amazing matra! I've found myself punishing myself whenever I can't just do something right away. Which is an absurt standart to hold yourself to anyways, so this ''Don't be afraid to be bad at something new'' in combination with ''Don't be afraid to be seen trying'' are gonna be my new mantras.
Watching this for a late-night mid-Masters thesis pick-me-up. Self, you're trying your hardest to beat your bad brain blues back, manage untreated ADHD, and graduate with your M.S.. You have come far and you should be proud! No one is perfect, and no one (including yourself) should expect you to be. You're doing your best right now. Keep moving forward!
@@ladiepink Yeah, I try new things allllll the time. If you truly put yourself out there and give it a real good try. At the year mark, you will start to see people responding and acknowledge your effort.
Interesting. That makes sense. People usually don’t want to emotionally or financially invest into something that they will get burnt on. So giving them that sustained period of effort must build trust and probably some, ‘Oh shit, I want to get on this train to so I don’t get left behind!’ FOMO feelings
Whew, I needed to hear this!! I'm lowkey applying to grad schools abroad but don't want to tell anyone in case I don't get in. But uhhhh I have to tell them so I can get a letter of rec.
I was afraid. I would rehearse things in my head over and over and I would hate doing something if I wasn't immediately good at it. My mom told me once I was the kind of child who was quiet for weeks and then would suddenly know a bunch of new sentence structures.
I just showed my friends some of the poetry I’ve been too embarrassed to share! It was horrifying, but it felt good to show something I’ve worked hard on!
Ive had too completely overhaul the way I approach exercise. Growing up you could never be seen trying. If you weren't good immediately there was just no point continuing. And as an awkward uncoordinated kid I just shunned sports, fitness and exercise because of other people. I basically took on this identity that I hated exercise. Now I try really hard to work out because its medicine for my depression and try to remember its not about pushing myself to oblivion every time I get on the mat. I live my the notion of consistent mediocrity now, just a consistent 60% effort for my brain. I began posting my workouts on my channel, so I'd have a visual to SEE with my own eyes, that I'm getting stronger, and better at yoga/pilates and exercise isnt just about being the best.
As a mother of an adult son who suffers from severe anxiety, who worries so much about looking foolish or be seen as a failure, I really appreciate this WORD! So true!
I am about to graduate from grad school with a 4.0 with a 3 year old, a husband in fellowship, and in the midst of a pandemic. I'm going to celebrate out loud because I worked hard and earned the right to be celebrated!
something nice to myself: i love how passionate and resilient i am. i admire how brave and unrelenting i am in living out my dreams. i am proud of me :)
I almost wanted to cry because I've been going through intense creative hesitation for a while with great ideas that I was just so afraid would flop and I really needed this. Thank you so much.
So “don’t be afraid to be seen trying”, if that’s the motto then I won’t be afraid to be seen struggling because this college thing is getting tough. But I know that what I’m feeling now is only temporary. Self anxiety is a butt, but I hope that myself and others can become more aware of who we are and what we want. Thanks Evelyn From The Internets, your content is always well needed!

I would love to subscribe to some poetry, whenever it may be, whatever it may be, for however many people it may be! Edit: as long as I am ok as an audience, and I totally understand if I am not for whatever reason
“Prioritize yourself and your community over the people who may be watching from the sidelines of your life” WOW. As someone who recently turned 26 and juust started trying to make my art a real something while seeing others who have done it for less time and are just soaring... this meant so much. Because I can feel like welp, I guess I should give up now. Little things like this give me another little push to continue. You are now MY fairy godmother ( does that make Ira Glass my fairy great godfather? )
congrats on me getting better at basketball, said from my friend who is playing college D3 basketball, and for him saying i have a chance at making D3. although no one will probably see this comment, always be proud of yourself. dont be down or sad always look up. God cares about all of us. love you all. all of us are wanted on this earth
my personal version of this phrase is: “Take it easy, but take it” Thank you for this lil pep talk you’re an inspiration! Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 💙
Whew child... My head was nodding through this whole video like it was a 90's era hip-hop jam. Something nice... "Girl, you try every day and you've come a long way. I'm proud of you."
Building a life thats inching closer to the one you want to live! Whoaa. As someone who definitely feels a pressure to be "put together" and "perfect" all the time, this was GREAT
Something nice to myself: I'm doing better, and slowly relearning how to take care of myself. The amount of time it's taking me is driving me crazy... but it's still progress.
You know I’ve already failed and I’ve already tried and embarrassed myself and I’m laughing bc I’m still standing. What’s the big deal? It already happened and I had the power and strength to handle it. Lol let’s gooo let’s just do this we will make it to the other side
Humility is beautiful, Humility with Faith by Works is inspiring, Humility with Faith by Works in Love is divine. Thank you for this second wind, this breathe of fresh air. First time hearing/seeing the words “Don’t be afraid to be seen trying” but to know that process has started and now I am encouraged I am blessed by this. 🦒 God Bless You!
I went from a D average to straight A's and EVERYONE watched me struggle haha. Most were supportive but some were butts. I always knew I was smart, I was just too scared to try. This video was everything!! Thanks for keeping it real! xoxo
They way this was exactly what I needed!! I am GREAT!!! and I am GRATEFUL for it!!! I do not have to be PERFECT I just have to be PRESENT!! MY SELF WORTH IS NOT BASED ON MY PRODUCTIVITY but I AM PRODUCTIVE BECAUSE I HAVE HIGH SELF WORTH AND DESERVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN IT!!! Thank you internet cousin for this. Divine timing at its finest!!
By the grace of God, I've had the strength to finish my Masters. I'm not in the career I dream about, but I've started to take the first steps to get there. One day I'll be a Counselling Psychologist 🙌🏿
Some years back I wouldn't have known I'd still be here to this day. I'm grateful for sticking around, choosing to keep living through the good and bad, making the most out of those buckets of love, beacons of purpose, sparks of joy, dashes of radiance along the way. Stumbling but trying and happy to be.
Woooooow you have no idea how much I struggle with this. All my life, literally since I was a child, I would maneuver around simple tasks in public because I was scared of being seen. Even with simple things like walking down the street, if there was a crowd I’d walk around the block. I am just now starting to step out of this bubble at the age of 23. Thank you for this!!!!! Really thank you! No one ever in the internet has talked about this problem in this way. Thank you!!!!
"IT'S TOO MUNCH!!!" 😂 You can say that again! You put some much truth out into this world with a comical, relatable touch that keeps me coming back 💘 Thank you so much for just being YOU, Evelyn 💯💘
A READ and a SERMON all in one! I just entered the world of aerial arts. I am conditioning myself to release the notion of perfect and embrace the concept of refinement. The latter indicates there is a journey. It never stops.
say something nice about yourself in the comments! DO IT
i am powerful~!! (growing channel xo)
I'm a fantastic mediator. I have an open heart.
I'm patient and kind :)
I MAKE BOMBASS COOKIES
I dork out about some of the most seemingly mundane things, have these little bouts of joy. And I like that.
I have been paralyzed by the thought of being seen as a novice at anything. Not in 2021. We failing EVERYWHERR until I figure it out.
Yeah why do we feel this way? Like even if Im by myself and I don’t execute something the way I envisioned it the first time I get so down on myself. It’s so weird.
Can I watch? Jk. But I genuinely love this comment. I need to get more comfortable being seen failing.
Love this 💯
Yes!!!

Ma’am get out of my head I was just thinking the same thing!
I've been telling myself "I want to try too many things to be afraid at being bad at them". Life is too limited if you only want to do things you're good at. Thank you for this.
Whew! Your timing is always impeccable. Needed this now, more than ever ❤️.
Riiiiiiight? Cause same🥺
RIIIGGGHHHTT. I've been afraid of being seen all my life. But to get where I want to be in my music career, I gotta share it. ❤

Watching this for a late-night mid-Masters thesis pick-me-up.
Self, you're trying your hardest to beat your bad brain blues back, manage untreated ADHD, and graduate with your M.S.. You have come far and you should be proud! No one is perfect, and no one (including yourself) should expect you to be. You're doing your best right now. Keep moving forward!
I’ve learned that it takes a year of people seeing you trying before they start to support you.
Wow that’s good !!! Like a good observation
ay yay yay 😪
@@ladiepink Yeah, I try new things allllll the time. If you truly put yourself out there and give it a real good try. At the year mark, you will start to see people responding and acknowledge your effort.
THIS!
Interesting. That makes sense. People usually don’t want to emotionally or financially invest into something that they will get burnt on. So giving them that sustained period of effort must build trust and probably some, ‘Oh shit, I want to get on this train to so I don’t get left behind!’ FOMO feelings
Whew, I needed to hear this!! I'm lowkey applying to grad schools abroad but don't want to tell anyone in case I don't get in. But uhhhh I have to tell them so I can get a letter of rec.
Kids are the best example of this, they're not afraid to fail in front of people
THE innocence of babes
I was afraid. I would rehearse things in my head over and over and I would hate doing something if I wasn't immediately good at it. My mom told me once I was the kind of child who was quiet for weeks and then would suddenly know a bunch of new sentence structures.
I just showed my friends some of the poetry I’ve been too embarrassed to share! It was horrifying, but it felt good to show something I’ve worked hard on!
How did you know i needed this Evelyn? How. Did. You. Know?!!?
She's that voice inside our heads.
I think we all need this right now. 😅
Right!!!
Ive had too completely overhaul the way I approach exercise. Growing up you could never be seen trying. If you weren't good immediately there was just no point continuing. And as an awkward uncoordinated kid I just shunned sports, fitness and exercise because of other people. I basically took on this identity that I hated exercise. Now I try really hard to work out because its medicine for my depression and try to remember its not about pushing myself to oblivion every time I get on the mat. I live my the notion of consistent mediocrity now, just a consistent 60% effort for my brain.
I began posting my workouts on my channel, so I'd have a visual to SEE with my own eyes, that I'm getting stronger, and better at yoga/pilates and exercise isnt just about being the best.

Something nice about myself is that I am incredibly resilient & I'm grateful for that.
Not being afraid to be seen trying took me from 1 sale on Etsy last year to 58 this year! 🙌
congratulations! so excited for your growth and your continued growth! keep goinggggg
Where are you now in progress with your etsy business?
I’m here from berleezy channel. He wasn’t lying very inspirational and pure positive I’m subscribing

You can do it!! 😃
😭😭😭I'm experiencing the same feeling.
Thank you everyone. I don't even know y'all but I'm big bb touched 🥺💜🙏🏾

just came over from berlinnnn, i’m about to binge all of your videos
I started an MBA in Oct and we had our first group presentation that was the final grade for a class today and I did pretty good :)
@Lakeisha Carter Thank you!
So “don’t be afraid to be seen trying”, if that’s the motto then I won’t be afraid to be seen struggling because this college thing is getting tough.

That tweet for chadwick man...the feels !!!!
This is exactly the message I needed after getting the news I got into grad school in Ireland. Don't be Afraid to be Seen Trying
this hit different.. might’ve just changed everything for me
I appreciate my intent and effort towards becoming my most authentic self, and having compassion for myself when I think I come short
I am resilient and will continue to grow in every area of my life no matter the obstacles.
Just received my well-earned certificate in Personal Styling this morning and I REALLY needed this pep talk
the people who are hating on you for trying are projecting their own insecurities on you
nothing but the truth! you trying is making them feel guilty for not trying. so they try to make you stop.
this makes so much sense
This statement gets truer every day for me
I needed this, was feeling like giving up on my brand. Something nice: I am good at creating something from nothing.
I went from not being able to run one mile to running 26.2 miles. I wasn’t afraid to be seen trying and someone stopped and helped me. I’m fearless!
Great! Your name should be "one less obstacle"...
I’m going to listen to this everyday.
*"people are butts"* ~ my new mantra for sure | tarot channel xo

A word 🙌🏽 ⛪️
I am resilient.
I am loved.
My best will look different everyday.
My body is changing and while that is sometimes unsettling, my spirit is essentially the same.
The unexpected “let’s go” left me in tears.
You are as eloquent as you are hilarious -- needed this message, so so badly.
This is exactly why I started to repeat my daily affirmations:
I am smart
I am gentle with myself
I am deserving of patience
I feel like this should be a whole class in school, starting elementary/primary, to build this mindset!
Yes!!!! Totally agree.
Self, you are smart enough and brave enough to be successful in this new job! You got this...just try.
