as a 20 year old who has been literally growing up with u in the past 5 years, i have been in this phase as well and it feels like a warm hug to see another 20 year old talking about it like this. thank u
videos like this help chronically online people realize that outside of the whole bright personality creators often show in their videos, there is a real human being with feelings behind it all.
Mad to see such a young content creator being a better role model than older youtubers. I love how genuine this video is, the internet would be such a better place if everyone were like you man. Wishing you well
Yeah, like you can tell he is trying to explain everything in a way that we understand without leaving any info out. It is the way these types of videos should be done. (Also completely unrelated, but Eddsworld profile pic!).
Feels weird that I connect to this so much. Being twenty is like being stuck in a small boat in the middle of the ocean. How lucky we are to row in any direction, mate
LIKE A SMALL BOAT ON THE OCEANNN SENDING BIG WAVESS INTO MOTIONN Like how a single wordddd Can make a heart OPENNN I might only have one matchhhhh BUT I CAN MAKE AN EXPLOSIONNNN
Tommy, yk that we are the small percentage of people who are subscribed, and we didn't find you annoying ever. you where just a kid living you childhood, and watching you grow up was one of the most hear warming things we have seen. so good luck tommy!
I didn’t find him annoying… I looked up to him, he was happy and joyful I understood it was a character, but it made me happy in the midst of depression. It was like a warm hug.
Hey Tom- Just some incomprehensible ramblings of a stranger on the internet here who’s been watching you since they were in middle school and this year is graduating. And oh my gosh have you been inspiring to watch grow. When i was 11 i remember people would ask me what i wanted to do and I’d say i want to be a writer for SNL, and now here i am going to university to study something in yet another classroom. But im going to keep on doing my passions. I think thats what’s so inspiring about you, you have continued to work on yourself and your actual work and I can’t imagine how taxing that would be. This urge to be creative and write, make music, and make films and all these things is so overwhelming and you are such an inspiration for someone getting started. I truly wish you the best in your career. Maybe one day we will see something like this on the big screen.
There was so many mentions about being overdramatic... Tommy, you aren't being overdramatic. What you went through is real. Feeling emotions is okay. Feeling shitty that people did shitty things to you is okay. So please stop calling yourself overdramatic. Whatever path you choose, whether you continue youtube or you choose to quit everything and become a bookwriter or something idk man but either way we will support you! Youre an amazing person, and you inspire me in so many ways. Please just dont stop being you.
this needs to get pushed to the top. he's human, he's growing, we feel things, it's natural. "overdramatic" would be sending threats and flipping your shit on ppl that haven't hurt you or twisting a situation to be something it wasn't. what tom feels is very real and not played up. you're a decent and down to earth person, tom. allow yourself to feel
@ but in his case he wasn't being /overdramatic/. he's been through so much shit in such a small amount of time. neither you or i can comprehend his experiences to date, but i know what /overdramatic/ behaviour is like as someone who is quite literally emotionally unstable, and tom isn't fitting that description in the slightest
There was a thing my grandma used to tell me before she passed and it was that "Winters cold, and when winters cold, your heart will freeze up and slow down. Thats when you will think back on every little mistake you ever made but the sun will rise again and unthaw and you'll see the goodness that has happened." Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS! also thank you for such sweet comments ya'll are the best! Im glad this could make you fell a bit better and i hope you will remember it cause it truly has helped me through some tough times! It WILL get better! High and Lows are like tides they go up and down all day. Another edit bc I talk too much- this thing is gonna be miles long lol 😭) but you know how nails are made I think there melted and just thing of you as the metal, and your getting torched with flame after flame but in the end you end up strong. 🥰
i think the day tom drops the "tommyinnit" name and just starts going by tom simons, will be the day hes fully moved on from that persona, i look forward to that day and i love these glimpses of tom simons. thank you tommy for everything!
@@davidputra1635yeah I think he has 2 channels which is the channel what you said and tommyinnit the ironic channel that has the most subs compared to all his other channels
I cried while watching this. Seeing a creator I looked up to for so many years step off the “content creator” pedestal and show vulnerability and insecurity made me feel so seen. Makes me realize that it’s okay to struggle like that, and that’s part of being a person. I’m glad you’re able to work through it, and I hope I can do the same. Thank you so much Tommy
I’m gonna say it right here-you could genuinely make films one day man. All of your videos even the joking ones are edited and shot so well. Not to mention the writing
christ do i relate to this. ive just turned 23, things have got so much better over the years but i still feel so overwhelmed by life. by the state of the world. by figuring out who i am. what i want to do with my life. how ill spend my money. its hard but you just keep going. and things really do get better. you find the things in the world that make you feel more authentic and you run with it and life becomes easier. keep going tom, it’ll all work out
Im also 20, and I've dealt with a lot of panic attacks reguarding death. I lost my dad at 16 and yeah, it does a lot to you. It took me a long time to realize that panic attacks are a fear of fear, and letting those feelings happen and tell yourself "this feeling, it really sucks, but it cant hurt me, im alive, and im safe". Its hard yk, trying to run from the feelings instead of being okay with them. Especially when they're so deep and existential. You got this, we all got this. And you're not alone
as a 20 years old who's birthday is just a couple days away from yours seeing you being open about life really helps. i feel like being an adult hit me hard and im a completely different person now, and sometimes i feel like im alone with this overwhelming feeling. thank you for being so open about your expeirences with ''adult life''
@@Epic_1YT they say crows are the spirits of a loved one coming back to watch over you, cardinals as well. I saw a crow fly over at my oldest cousin's wedding, I was sure it was my grandfather who passed recently
@@golira19 yeah! not the same bird, but my mum is *constantly* seeing this one robin, and robins are known for representing passed loved ones. she lost her first baby nearly 27 years ago.
growing up watching you (from freshman year of highschool to freshman year of college) has been so comforting. everyone says that you aren't alone in struggles like growing up and not knowing what path you're taking, but seeing you be so open and artistic about is something different. ty king
This really feels like a classic OG UA-cam video with the video diary entries and editing. It's so comforting yet melancholy at the same time, I love it
oddly enough, this made me feel weirdly hopeful. i am that kid tom described at the beginning: a clammy teenager who cant look people in the eye and spends far too much time online. and im stressed so often about my future and having it all sorted out, but this gave me a lot of perspective. if this random 20 year old who i dont actually know but have looked up to alot of my life can still say he doesnt know what his future might look like, why shouldnt i? what he describes in this too made me realise that maybe even through the shit bits there can be good things. i love making people laugh, its one of my favourite things, im just ridiculously shy. but hearing someone who i look up to talk about being able to chat to people on the bus, make friends with strangers sounds like the most wonderful thing to me. and while it isnt entirely the same, performing and musical theatre is one of my favourite things ever. practicing for so long to see peoples faces and their smiles when you finally get to show off your hard work is the most amazing feeling ive ever felt. (i know thats quite contradictory, but i really feel like the stage is a time to be myself with 0 judgement) and hey, maybe when im 20 i'll be looking back and thinking the same thing tom says now about yotube: thats its a kids dream and ive found what i really love now. but watching this made me realise that maybe thats okay i realise this is a bit rambly and no one here really cares about the woes of some random teen, but i thought i'd share them regardless. this is an incredible video (nothing new there) and i do think itll really help me. but i also do think that tommy, you need to know its okay to take breaks. i know you know this already, but for everyone here it will get better, maybe not for a while but it will, i know it will. so thank you, tom, for accidentally making my shitty way of thinking about my life slightly less shit
Hi. I’m sorry things are really shitty for you right now. I’m 17, and I’m also chronically online, mostly on account of being bedbound. I’ve always been very social, the one who bounds up to someone new to show them the ropes or talks to random strangers on the street, but I think that’s always just been a layer of self-confidence. Like, I’m very comfortable in who I am and I know I shouldn’t care what people think, but I am just always afraid of being perceived. So I wrap myself up the comfortable, easy parts of myself that people want to see, which made it very difficult for me to form genuine connections. I’m better now, got over a lot of the trauma that made trusting people to care about me so difficult, and I’m alot happier. But the point is, even though I was always eager to talk, I was massively overwhelmed. All the time. Nobody really has it all together, but we’re unlucky that we have stupid brains to deal with on top of all the other stuff. It’s awesome that you love musical theatre! I do too. There’s something about becoming someone else that really makes you see the world through another set of eyes- which sounds pretty self-explanatory, I know, but it’s really something quite remarkable. Keep doing what you love, and no, you’re not just a lost voice on the internet. You are a person, and you are complex and have issues and sweets you like and bad jokes and embarrassing stories. The online space is so wide, it’s easy to feel forgotten, but that’s not real life. You are tangible and make a difference, and I hope this message helps remind you of that. Keep on keeping on, my friend
Things always get better I am 18 now and work a job in the city which younger my would of found crazy that I could find that motivation to travel be on time and actually do well as a waitress for a more high end restaurant giving the fact my attendance at school has always been shit (40% 😬) but yeah when you are a teenager and in your twenties some even in there 30+ everybody is stressing about what the future holds bc it is unknown but it doesn’t need to be scary sometimes things just click into place and as a teenager try not to beat yourself up about it too much bc right now make your responsibilities about having fun and exploring and if you ever need help when you get anxious I can give you my insta or something so we can chat :) and take care one former chronically online teen to another
Not gonna lie. I actually needed to hear this so thanks for that :) I'm exactly the same but I'm an artist and with how difficult that line of work is, my future is something I stress over way too much. Overall I know it's going to be okay, but the stress of the constant need to progress out on me by others is extremely overwhelming. Both Tom's video and your comment have helped ease my thoughts tonight (and maybe make my eyes water slightly) so no I don't think you rambled and tbh it's nice to see a fanbase come together and support each other! ❤
Major props to you for speaking from your heart mate. that takes a lot of self-reflection. From what i read, you seem to be a lot more than just "a clammy teenager who cant look people in the eye". A few years back, i felt the same way, but trust me, you'll find yourself, and probably sooner than you think. Just from your "woes" i would guess you to be a bright and caring person. that'll take you far. I'm only turning 18 next month, and i really feel i've found myself both socially and on a more personal level. Not because of some radical change, or a sudden insight, but just from growing up. you'll begin to see things in a new light, care less about the less important things, and most importantly, you'll learn to be confident in your own character. I assume you've already heard or read all of this before, but i took the time to write it anyways because your comment really sat with me. Cheers, Noah
hi tommy you probably won't read this, but i'd like to say this anyway. you aren't alone, man. i've been going through the same thing recently, and feel like shit for no reason, and that i don't feel justified in it because there are so many people worse off. but it's fine. you'll get through it. we all do. it fucking sucks, but you're allowed to feel that way, and it will get better. everything will. don't give up. we all love you so SO much. whatever you decide to do, we all support you. -some unlicenced teen sitting in their room trying to provide therapy
@@YXBOLTZ I heavily doubt that he's your cousin, and this is rather inappropriate to advertise in a video where he's recounting a concerning mental health situation. Think before you post.
i studied a semester of death and dying and there's such thing as delayed mourning (also mourning can be for anything, not just a life but a way of life/job anything, scientifically) and it's possible that since tommy's been so busy with tours and such that its only now that it's stopped that the grief hits for losing loved ones (death or otherwise) and that routine. important thing is to know it's real and give yourself what you need to work through it
People made fun of teen angst so much growing up that nobody prepared our generation for what 20s angst would feel like Heart goes out to everyone reading this, stay strong
As someone who’s only about a few months older than Tommy, I really do feel this. I’m better than I was as a teen, but in others ways, things are so much harder.
@@Ambiienz Thank you, I appreciate it. I’m actually in the process of moving stuff to the house I’m moving into. Seeing my childhood bedroom get gutted is… something else, even if this should all make me happier in the end
God that one made me sad. I'm away from home. I'm cold. I'm lonely. I'm 19 and I fear I'm doing the wrong things. I miss my friends, my piano, my forests and my mountains (I'm from Switzerland). Like you said, it's all gonna pass, but god does it suck
it’s actually so refreshing to see someone be so honest about their mental health and not in a simplistic “i was doing bad but now i’m great” way. life is so exhausting and it’s a slow progress to actually feel better, im trying to get there too but goddamn it’s hard when everyone expresses it in a way that implies it’s easy for to get over things and just quickly feel better. you’re amazing tom and i love hearing about how you feel
right?! i'm also 17 (18 very very soon :/) and damn this hit! it's like everything has been put into perspective for me. I've watched this twice by now and I've been non stop crying. idek why lmao
I’m gonna say. I’m over the 20 mark and trust me (the world will continue spinning and also, people will slowly become strangers, not everyone but many). Life will always be a constant up and down but just focus on good people around you and hobbies
Its lowkey scary how 2025 started for everyone like my mom got super sick my friends mom got cancer i lost my best friend like damn thats not crazy at all
i’m currently 20 myself, and i know exactly what you’re going through tommy.. it’s a weird, unsettling year, having lost friendships and wanting to make more connections. being bored on what to do with yourself is very valid. i hope you get better, dude ❤!
tommy darling you are still human. becoming an adult is so overwhelming because you’re learning yourself. in becoming an adult your interest change, your motives change, you change. tom it’s okay to change and its okay for things to not make so much sense and you just live. you’re living tommy and you’re living well. if you read this i hope you feel okay. trust i went to therapy to navigate going into adulthood. i’m 19 turning 20 this year. i’ve grown up with you dude. you’re not being dramatic, you’re just growing up. continue to take walks, continue to see new things, continue to find things that make you feel in touch with the world as you grow. you are doing so well. seriously! kudos to you. let’s continue to grow up together:)
as someone just a year younger than you and growing up with you since covid is always refreshing seeing the same emotions im feeling represented in someone so different to me and as someone i look up to
Omg same age as me! It does feel a lot more hopeless now without the comforts you had when you are a kid, but like there's so much opportunity for all of us in the now! It's these days that I think about time travelling to the past or to the future. And while I think it's a cute idea, I don't think it's possible. But that's a good thing! Cause if time travel doesn't exist, then that means that the future doesn't exist yet. So from now to our non-existant destinies, we have the opportunity to experience all of existence there is. And especially, time to experience all of YOUR existence there is. And the best thing is that the things that are coming up will make and break your day. And that is worth seeing. I'm currently sobbing righting this comment, cause for me, I am so, so afraid of what my non-existant future has to offer me. I don't know if I'll ever not be afraid. But I know this: Fear makes us human. There's balance in everything, and if I want to be happy I must go through fear as well. To quote doctor who, "Fear is a superpower". I don't exactly remember the whole speech but basically it talks about fear being a tool used to face danger. That in these times we suddenly become stronger, faster and smarter to get out of said situation. Feeling fear is like feeling alive. To feel human. It's okay to be afraid. It's okay to not be okay. You are amazing. Remember that. Feel that. I hope these feelings doesn't stop you being with who you need to be with, or stopping you from going where you need to go. You got this. And if you read all that I have wrote, thank you so much. It means so much that I helped somebody else with what they're feeling. Also if this didn't help you and only worsened your feelings, I'm so so sorry. Please lemme know what I should've said😂.
I read a poem once, When I was young, I climbed high mountains To muster sorrow, to write a new verse. Now I begin to speak but stop, Begin to speak but stop. Instead, I say, "My, what a beautiful and lovely autumn." And it's -alive, isn't it? Sometimes that's what it is to be alive. There's real beauty in that. Poem by Li Bai, "Autumn Song"
man this is such a lovely video, the shots and your music playing over it is so good. being 20 is so difficult but seeing a youtuber the same age as you and going through the same stuff as you even if they have a completely different life can be real comforting. i really hope i can see one of your stand-ups one day, maybe in a silly burger restaurant
Hearing "i got through it" was honestly the most powerful to me, because like everyone, ive also been through a lot. I think just sitting back and saying that can put it all into perspective. You're persevering and you'll continue to. You did get through it. That's something to be proud of.
@ buddy how old do you think I am? I’m old enough and smart enough to know that’s not techno 💀💀 you can stop with the wishful thinking. The dude is dead he’s been dead for a while now let him rest.
as someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression i know this will sound repetitive but i promise it will get better it does get better and i am so proud that you are trying to take steps to get better and figure it all out and i'm proud of you for talking about it we all love and support you take your time to figure this out
back in 2020 i was a silly little 19 year old film undergrad studying twitch as a platform for young filmmakers to experiment with their craft in an accessible way. your work on the dsmp was a main focal point. i.... quickly dropped the project for many reasons, some obvious, some far less so. to see you still working with video as a medium, honing and excelling in your craft; watching films, writing sets, becoming more comfortable in it all, and pushing yourself through good and bad has been an absolute privilege. i'm 23 now, hoping to get my masters soon, screenwriting. burnout is so incredibly fucking real and it almost destroyed the love i have for my own craft. things are going to be okay, i think. it's confusing, but we'll get to a place where we're comfortable all the time eventually.
and it works even more when you remember phliza’s chat was a pack of ravens or crows in dsmp universe and him and techno were friends and then u can just sit and cry. i’m doing it rn.
Winter hits me hard too. I've gotten through it by getting excited that I don't have to feel guilty for wasting a nice day when I spend all day inside bc it's not nice outside anyway. I also sit in sunny spots in the house. The sun really affects my mood and short days and gray skies can really do me in. It's got to be hard not to have anyone going through the same thing as you. But God knows whatever it is you're going through. He's right there ready to let you lean on him as he shows you the way. You don't have to have it all figured out bc you were never meant to. God's the one with the master plan and he has plans for good and not for harm. Plans for hope and a future.
Tom, you aren't being overdramatic. Me, having just turned 20, feel the same hopelessness even when you feel like you're doing things right. There's hills and valleys and life is like the day and night. You have those moments of brightness and joy and other times you have the lengths of darkness and sadness. But you just need to remember that the sun will rise again and it'll be beautiful when the light comes back. You can get through this. It won't end abruptly, it'll come back sometimes, but what matters is that you wait for the dawn to break again. You got this!
january was probably the worst month for me. feeling hopeless was all i felt throughout the whole month, i cried almost every single day but one day, i just felt better. like my whole demeanor and thoughts changed. i kept telling myself “i will be okay.” it’s so easy to feel negatively, but changing your mindset and talking good to yourself, is SO much better than staying in that negative hole. positivity is worth feeling. it’s hard for me to think positive, but it’s not impossible. you all got this ❤️
To Tommy: •you are not over dramatic • you are amazing •we all love you •it’s ok and normal to feel like this •things WILL get better • just keep being you ❤❤
Im 19 this week. I finished school last year, and am waiting to start uni next month, and good god these last few months have been a rollercoaster of progress and failure, determination and flat hopelessness. Some days it feels like everythings moving by at a million miles an hour, others make me feel like im trapped in quicksand with no escape. But the one constant throughout this all has been time. Time to reflect, Time to plan, time to commit. Time to spend all day in bed and time to wait for someone else to do it for me. Time to realise that i'm the one that decides my future. I can't say i know exactly what you're going through, Tommy, but i can say you aren't alone in it. From a sleep deprived Alex, thank you.
You've been a massive inspo for me man, i used to spend hours on the internet, afraid to go out and make mistakes, but watching your videos, especially the ones like these that are so honest, made me realise I'm supposed to make mistakes, so now I get out more, I spend time with my friends and I make those mistakes, and I finally feel like I am supposed to live this way, take all the time you need, man
i’m turning 21 soon and it’s just an overwhelming feeling getting older but i understand the anxieties and everything and ive felt the same feeling like im over dramatic and i go back and forth between feeling that and then realizing im human and its my first time living and its everyone else’s first time living and its human to feel things and its a great feeling when your able to realize that and you did and its refreshing . it’s just also refreshing to see other people that feel the same , we’re all in this life together whether personally or not and we all feel the same things in retrospect and it is comforting .
You aren't being dramatic. You are speaking your true feelings. Techno is that crow, and after hearing his name and taunting you, he left once you smiled a bit. I get it about all the stress of things, I'm coming to an age where things are going to be changing a bit, and when I'm alone I get nervous and sacred about the future, but when I'm with friends I instantly feel better. I know what you're feeling right now (not probably to the same extent at all), and it will get better. Your 20s are the years where you decide where to go in life, and you get to mess up and learn and grow, and you will eventually find out what to do in life, don't worry.
To be honest, i'm 20, 21 in a few days, and i've been feeling like shit too. I'm slowly losing people, i'm failing my year, i'm thrown back into the past. It feels like shit. This beginning of the year was really hard. Hearing you talk about your struggles and difficulties, i totally understand, and i hope you know there's people like you, simply trying to navigate through life. I don't know. You're just not alone and we're all doing our best and we're gonna make it one way or the other. I wish you the best Tom.
Happy birthday, i hope you continue to do the things you love, or try things out and discover what you love doing, because that really can create more meaning and joy. even if its just the little things, like going on a walk, or keeping a journal. especially stepping out of the comfort zone, which leads to new experiences and growth over time. take care of yourself out there.
I’m 2 months younger than you. Thank you for speaking about this. Being an adult is hard. Finding out everyone is flawed is hard. Keeping yourself afloat is hard. And yet…
i know toms square videos are always more sad and serious, but it is so comforting to know that even famous people like him go through the ups and downs of growing into an adult. i’m 18 now and sometimes it’s really hard to accept the fact that i’m slowly growing out of being a child and that i will have to find my place in this world now… anyways, to everyone out there who’s also still a little unsure as what to do and what to be, we’ve got this. it’ll all work out in the end
that whole bit of "I know I'm doing the right things, I just wish I felt better about it" MAN is that relatable. That's exactly how I felt after I started therapy and working through some past experiences. It's nice to hear someone else talk about that feeling too
for some reason i really needed this, even if our situations are so different ive been feeling awful and lonely too. i'm 16 and you're 20 and i don't know you and not to be parasocial but it is nice to feel like someone across the country is feeling the same as you, it's comforting
Honestly same, I’m 20 at I suppose it’s weirdly comforting to know you aren’t like the only person struggling with this, I basically lost all of my friends from my childhood and I just haven’t had time to make new ones with work taking so much time and all of that.
Hey Tommy, you’ll never see this but i just want to tell you, you saved my life. In 2020 i was going through such a hard time in my life and was at such a low point but watching your content after school or whenever i was sad, you always cheered me up, and ill never forget the day i saw your show in person and when you came on stage i just started crying, you help people more than you know and its amazing what you do. Please don’t lose yourself and always remember to take care of yourself. You’ve helped so many people and i really hope you know that. Do what you love and what you feel is right. Follow your heart, and take time for yourself.
dude this shows a really creative vision. I could totally see you making short films, you have a distinct cinematic style! The editing on this is brilliant!!!!
This resonated with me quite a bit. I'm not 20 yet but i'm turning a "big" number in a few days. And i have NO IDEA what i want to do with my life. Like i've graduated highschool, now i'm expected to get a job or go to uni/tafe. But i don't really want to do that? Like it's weird. I'm perfectly happy sitting at home, reading my books and playing my games. I don't like it how we as teenagers go from no responsibilities, then as soon as you turn a number it's like "hey! you're now an adult, here's the real world, have fun!" And it's just not fun. No one tells you what to do or how to survive. They just expect you to know. And it's so overwhelming. Maybe that's why staying at home with my books and games is so nice, because it's predictable and safe. You can't get overwhelmed with what you're familiar with. Ok i'm rambled quite a lot but hopefully some of that made sense? If you read this far thank you, i hope you have a really good rest of your day/night ❤❤ and if it wasn't good then i hope you treat yourself kindly ❤❤
Being the same age as Tommy during all of this hits different, because now that we are both adults. I remembered watching him as a kid, while WE were kids… It’s crazy, now we are both dealing with issues that come with growing up, it’s honestly so humanizing to see.
i know this is a video expressing the struggles you've been through the past month (i'm not quite finished yet), and i feel honored that you feel okay sharing this side of you with us in these 3x4 videos :] but i have to say the way that these videos are curated is fantastic, the cinematography, the music choices, the different fonts and texts. it really feels like a love letter to yourself. it's really nice, man :]

Tommy, yk that we are the small percentage of people who are subscribed, and we didn't find you annoying ever. you where just a kid living you childhood, and watching you grow up was one of the most hear warming things we have seen. so good luck tommy!
thos is such a cute comment
tbh a lot of us were just kids still
Ah yes, so hear warming.
I didn’t find him annoying… I looked up to him, he was happy and joyful I understood it was a character, but it made me happy in the midst of depression. It was like a warm hug.
@@lillianbowman9510 a lot of us are just kids still too !!
Hey Tom- Just some incomprehensible ramblings of a stranger on the internet here who’s been watching you since they were in middle school and this year is graduating. And oh my gosh have you been inspiring to watch grow. When i was 11 i remember people would ask me what i wanted to do and I’d say i want to be a writer for SNL, and now here i am going to university to study something in yet another classroom. But im going to keep on doing my passions. I think thats what’s so inspiring about you, you have continued to work on yourself and your actual work and I can’t imagine how taxing that would be. This urge to be creative and write, make music, and make films and all these things is so overwhelming and you are such an inspiration for someone getting started. I truly wish you the best in your career. Maybe one day we will see something like this on the big screen.
There was so many mentions about being overdramatic...
Tommy, you aren't being overdramatic. What you went through is real. Feeling emotions is okay. Feeling shitty that people did shitty things to you is okay. So please stop calling yourself overdramatic. Whatever path you choose, whether you continue youtube or you choose to quit everything and become a bookwriter or something idk man but either way we will support you! Youre an amazing person, and you inspire me in so many ways. Please just dont stop being you.
THIS!
this needs to get pushed to the top. he's human, he's growing, we feel things, it's natural. "overdramatic" would be sending threats and flipping your shit on ppl that haven't hurt you or twisting a situation to be something it wasn't. what tom feels is very real and not played up. you're a decent and down to earth person, tom. allow yourself to feel
I mean he was tbf. Emotions are indeed okay, but it doesn't mean they have to control your actions
@ but in his case he wasn't being /overdramatic/. he's been through so much shit in such a small amount of time. neither you or i can comprehend his experiences to date, but i know what /overdramatic/ behaviour is like as someone who is quite literally emotionally unstable, and tom isn't fitting that description in the slightest
real.
There was a thing my grandma used to tell me before she passed and it was that "Winters cold, and when winters cold, your heart will freeze up and slow down. Thats when you will think back on every little mistake you ever made but the sun will rise again and unthaw and you'll see the goodness that has happened."
Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS! also thank you for such sweet comments ya'll are the best! Im glad this could make you fell a bit better and i hope you will remember it cause it truly has helped me through some tough times! It WILL get better! High and Lows are like tides they go up and down all day.
Another edit bc I talk too much- this thing is gonna be miles long lol 😭) but you know how nails are made I think there melted and just thing of you as the metal, and your getting torched with flame after flame but in the end you end up strong. 🥰
As someone with serve seasonal depression, this got me crying, I needed to hear this ngl. I hope your grandmother is at ease
This is genuinely the most beautiful thing ive heard in a long time
Thanks for sharing Granny’s wisdom! ❤
Flowers don’t bloom all year round so don’t expect yourself to either

i think the day tom drops the "tommyinnit" name and just starts going by tom simons, will be the day hes fully moved on from that persona, i look forward to that day and i love these glimpses of tom simons. thank you tommy for everything!

christ do i relate to this. ive just turned 23, things have got so much better over the years but i still feel so overwhelmed by life. by the state of the world. by figuring out who i am. what i want to do with my life. how ill spend my money. its hard but you just keep going. and things really do get better. you find the things in the world that make you feel more authentic and you run with it and life becomes easier. keep going tom, it’ll all work out
Im also 20, and I've dealt with a lot of panic attacks reguarding death. I lost my dad at 16 and yeah, it does a lot to you. It took me a long time to realize that panic attacks are a fear of fear, and letting those feelings happen and tell yourself "this feeling, it really sucks, but it cant hurt me, im alive, and im safe". Its hard yk, trying to run from the feelings instead of being okay with them. Especially when they're so deep and existential. You got this, we all got this. And you're not alone

IM BETTER KIDS
Why is this so accurate
i love how Tom's video are starting to be more like author cinema than usual YT videos.
it shows the soul of him
oddly enough, this made me feel weirdly hopeful. i am that kid tom described at the beginning: a clammy teenager who cant look people in the eye and spends far too much time online. and im stressed so often about my future and having it all sorted out, but this gave me a lot of perspective. if this random 20 year old who i dont actually know but have looked up to alot of my life can still say he doesnt know what his future might look like, why shouldnt i?
what he describes in this too made me realise that maybe even through the shit bits there can be good things. i love making people laugh, its one of my favourite things, im just ridiculously shy. but hearing someone who i look up to talk about being able to chat to people on the bus, make friends with strangers sounds like the most wonderful thing to me. and while it isnt entirely the same, performing and musical theatre is one of my favourite things ever. practicing for so long to see peoples faces and their smiles when you finally get to show off your hard work is the most amazing feeling ive ever felt. (i know thats quite contradictory, but i really feel like the stage is a time to be myself with 0 judgement)
and hey, maybe when im 20 i'll be looking back and thinking the same thing tom says now about yotube: thats its a kids dream and ive found what i really love now. but watching this made me realise that maybe thats okay
i realise this is a bit rambly and no one here really cares about the woes of some random teen, but i thought i'd share them regardless.
this is an incredible video (nothing new there) and i do think itll really help me. but i also do think that tommy, you need to know its okay to take breaks. i know you know this already, but for everyone here it will get better, maybe not for a while but it will, i know it will. so thank you, tom, for accidentally making my shitty way of thinking about my life slightly less shit
Hi. I’m sorry things are really shitty for you right now.
I’m 17, and I’m also chronically online, mostly on account of being bedbound. I’ve always been very social, the one who bounds up to someone new to show them the ropes or talks to random strangers on the street, but I think that’s always just been a layer of self-confidence. Like, I’m very comfortable in who I am and I know I shouldn’t care what people think, but I am just always afraid of being perceived. So I wrap myself up the comfortable, easy parts of myself that people want to see, which made it very difficult for me to form genuine connections. I’m better now, got over a lot of the trauma that made trusting people to care about me so difficult, and I’m alot happier. But the point is, even though I was always eager to talk, I was massively overwhelmed. All the time. Nobody really has it all together, but we’re unlucky that we have stupid brains to deal with on top of all the other stuff.
It’s awesome that you love musical theatre! I do too. There’s something about becoming someone else that really makes you see the world through another set of eyes- which sounds pretty self-explanatory, I know, but it’s really something quite remarkable.
Keep doing what you love, and no, you’re not just a lost voice on the internet. You are a person, and you are complex and have issues and sweets you like and bad jokes and embarrassing stories. The online space is so wide, it’s easy to feel forgotten, but that’s not real life. You are tangible and make a difference, and I hope this message helps remind you of that.
Keep on keeping on, my friend
Things always get better I am 18 now and work a job in the city which younger my would of found crazy that I could find that motivation to travel be on time and actually do well as a waitress for a more high end restaurant giving the fact my attendance at school has always been shit (40% 😬) but yeah when you are a teenager and in your twenties some even in there 30+ everybody is stressing about what the future holds bc it is unknown but it doesn’t need to be scary sometimes things just click into place and as a teenager try not to beat yourself up about it too much bc right now make your responsibilities about having fun and exploring and if you ever need help when you get anxious I can give you my insta or something so we can chat :) and take care one former chronically online teen to another
I can relate
Not gonna lie. I actually needed to hear this so thanks for that :) I'm exactly the same but I'm an artist and with how difficult that line of work is, my future is something I stress over way too much. Overall I know it's going to be okay, but the stress of the constant need to progress out on me by others is extremely overwhelming. Both Tom's video and your comment have helped ease my thoughts tonight (and maybe make my eyes water slightly) so no I don't think you rambled and tbh it's nice to see a fanbase come together and support each other! ❤
Major props to you for speaking from your heart mate. that takes a lot of self-reflection. From what i read, you seem to be a lot more than just "a clammy teenager who cant look people in the eye". A few years back, i felt the same way, but trust me, you'll find yourself, and probably sooner than you think. Just from your "woes" i would guess you to be a bright and caring person. that'll take you far. I'm only turning 18 next month, and i really feel i've found myself both socially and on a more personal level. Not because of some radical change, or a sudden insight, but just from growing up. you'll begin to see things in a new light, care less about the less important things, and most importantly, you'll learn to be confident in your own character. I assume you've already heard or read all of this before, but i took the time to write it anyways because your comment really sat with me.
Cheers,
Noah
hi tommy
you probably won't read this, but i'd like to say this anyway.
you aren't alone, man. i've been going through the same thing recently, and feel like shit for no reason, and that i don't feel justified in it because there are so many people worse off. but it's fine. you'll get through it. we all do. it fucking sucks, but you're allowed to feel that way, and it will get better. everything will. don't give up. we all love you so SO much. whatever you decide to do, we all support you.

@ What
Not to flex but Tommy is my FÆÞĦĘŘ
i studied a semester of death and dying and there's such thing as delayed mourning (also mourning can be for anything, not just a life but a way of life/job anything, scientifically) and it's possible that since tommy's been so busy with tours and such that its only now that it's stopped that the grief hits for losing loved ones (death or otherwise) and that routine. important thing is to know it's real and give yourself what you need to work through it
Tommy was the most inappropriate silly 16 year old but he is the most down to earth 20 year old.
People made fun of teen angst so much growing up that nobody prepared our generation for what 20s angst would feel like

Switzerland is absolutely gorgeous!
it’s actually so refreshing to see someone be so honest about their mental health and not in a simplistic “i was doing bad but now i’m great” way. life is so exhausting and it’s a slow progress to actually feel better, im trying to get there too but goddamn it’s hard when everyone expresses it in a way that implies it’s easy for to get over things and just quickly feel better. you’re amazing tom and i love hearing about how you feel

as someone just a year younger than you and growing up with you since covid is always refreshing seeing the same emotions im feeling represented in someone so different to me and as someone i look up to
That's relatable.
Omg same age as me! It does feel a lot more hopeless now without the comforts you had when you are a kid, but like there's so much opportunity for all of us in the now!
It's these days that I think about time travelling to the past or to the future. And while I think it's a cute idea, I don't think it's possible.
But that's a good thing! Cause if time travel doesn't exist, then that means that the future doesn't exist yet. So from now to our non-existant destinies, we have the opportunity to experience all of existence there is. And especially, time to experience all of YOUR existence there is. And the best thing is that the things that are coming up will make and break your day. And that is worth seeing.
I'm currently sobbing righting this comment, cause for me, I am so, so afraid of what my non-existant future has to offer me. I don't know if I'll ever not be afraid. But I know this:
Fear makes us human. There's balance in everything, and if I want to be happy I must go through fear as well. To quote doctor who, "Fear is a superpower". I don't exactly remember the whole speech but basically it talks about fear being a tool used to face danger. That in these times we suddenly become stronger, faster and smarter to get out of said situation. Feeling fear is like feeling alive. To feel human.
It's okay to be afraid. It's okay to not be okay. You are amazing. Remember that. Feel that. I hope these feelings doesn't stop you being with who you need to be with, or stopping you from going where you need to go. You got this.
And if you read all that I have wrote, thank you so much. It means so much that I helped somebody else with what they're feeling.
Also if this didn't help you and only worsened your feelings, I'm so so sorry. Please lemme know what I should've said😂.
I read a poem once,
When I was young, I climbed high mountains
To muster sorrow, to write a new verse.
Now I begin to speak but stop,
Begin to speak but stop.

And it's -alive, isn't it? Sometimes that's what it is to be alive. There's real beauty in that. Poem by Li Bai, "Autumn Song"
Whats the chinese name of the poem, if you know?
man this is such a lovely video, the shots and your music playing over it is so good. being 20 is so difficult but seeing a youtuber the same age as you and going through the same stuff as you even if they have a completely different life can be real comforting. i really hope i can see one of your stand-ups one day, maybe in a silly burger restaurant
Hearing "i got through it" was honestly the most powerful to me, because like everyone, ive also been through a lot. I think just sitting back and saying that can put it all into perspective. You're persevering and you'll continue to. You did get through it. That's something to be proud of.

back in 2020 i was a silly little 19 year old film undergrad studying twitch as a platform for young filmmakers to experiment with their craft in an accessible way. your work on the dsmp was a main focal point. i.... quickly dropped the project for many reasons, some obvious, some far less so. to see you still working with video as a medium, honing and excelling in your craft; watching films, writing sets, becoming more comfortable in it all, and pushing yourself through good and bad has been an absolute privilege. i'm 23 now, hoping to get my masters soon, screenwriting. burnout is so incredibly fucking real and it almost destroyed the love i have for my own craft. things are going to be okay, i think. it's confusing, but we'll get to a place where we're comfortable all the time eventually.
‘And I know these growing pains are good, but damn if I could skip to the part where I’m grown I would.’ Wow. I really felt that

Winter hits me hard too. I've gotten through it by getting excited that I don't have to feel guilty for wasting a nice day when I spend all day inside bc it's not nice outside anyway. I also sit in sunny spots in the house. The sun really affects my mood and short days and gray skies can really do me in. It's got to be hard not to have anyone going through the same thing as you. But God knows whatever it is you're going through. He's right there ready to let you lean on him as he shows you the way. You don't have to have it all figured out bc you were never meant to.

Tom, you aren't being overdramatic. Me, having just turned 20, feel the same hopelessness even when you feel like you're doing things right. There's hills and valleys and life is like the day and night. You have those moments of brightness and joy and other times you have the lengths of darkness and sadness. But you just need to remember that the sun will rise again and it'll be beautiful when the light comes back. You can get through this. It won't end abruptly, it'll come back sometimes, but what matters is that you wait for the dawn to break again. You got this!
you can tell that solo trip did him the world of good, just the immense change in energy at the end of it
january was probably the worst month for me. feeling hopeless was all i felt throughout the whole month, i cried almost every single day but one day, i just felt better. like my whole demeanor and thoughts changed. i kept telling myself “i will be okay.”
it’s so easy to feel negatively, but changing your mindset and talking good to yourself, is SO much better than staying in that negative hole.
positivity is worth feeling. it’s hard for me to think positive, but it’s not impossible.
you all got this ❤️
To Tommy:
•you are not over dramatic
• you are amazing
•we all love you
•it’s ok and normal to feel like this
•things WILL get better
• just keep being you ❤❤
Im 19 this week. I finished school last year, and am waiting to start uni next month, and good god these last few months have been a rollercoaster of progress and failure, determination and flat hopelessness. Some days it feels like everythings moving by at a million miles an hour, others make me feel like im trapped in quicksand with no escape. But the one constant throughout this all has been time. Time to reflect, Time to plan, time to commit. Time to spend all day in bed and time to wait for someone else to do it for me. Time to realise that i'm the one that decides my future.
I can't say i know exactly what you're going through, Tommy, but i can say you aren't alone in it.
From a sleep deprived Alex, thank you.
I hope ur doing okay tommy

he just said he is not doing well bruuuuuh
@ yes I know 🤦🏻♀️ I’m saying that I hope he gets better
You've been a massive inspo for me man, i used to spend hours on the internet, afraid to go out and make mistakes, but watching your videos, especially the ones like these that are so honest, made me realise I'm supposed to make mistakes, so now I get out more, I spend time with my friends and I make those mistakes, and I finally feel like I am supposed to live this way, take all the time you need, man
Petition to get Tommy to actually make films
i’m turning 21 soon and it’s just an overwhelming feeling getting older but i understand the anxieties and everything and ive felt the same feeling like im over dramatic and i go back and forth between feeling that and then realizing im human and its my first time living and its everyone else’s first time living and its human to feel things and its a great feeling when your able to realize that and you did and its refreshing . it’s just also refreshing to see other people that feel the same , we’re all in this life together whether personally or not and we all feel the same things in retrospect and it is comforting .
You aren't being dramatic. You are speaking your true feelings. Techno is that crow, and after hearing his name and taunting you, he left once you smiled a bit. I get it about all the stress of things, I'm coming to an age where things are going to be changing a bit, and when I'm alone I get nervous and sacred about the future, but when I'm with friends I instantly feel better. I know what you're feeling right now (not probably to the same extent at all), and it will get better. Your 20s are the years where you decide where to go in life, and you get to mess up and learn and grow, and you will eventually find out what to do in life, don't worry.
oh my god the techno being the crow bit. oh my god this is poetry

2:20 turn subtitles on.... "shatting with people on the bus"
Hilarious 😂
😭
lol I was about to comment on that😭😭
To be honest, i'm 20, 21 in a few days, and i've been feeling like shit too. I'm slowly losing people, i'm failing my year, i'm thrown back into the past. It feels like shit. This beginning of the year was really hard. Hearing you talk about your struggles and difficulties, i totally understand, and i hope you know there's people like you, simply trying to navigate through life. I don't know. You're just not alone and we're all doing our best and we're gonna make it one way or the other. I wish you the best Tom.
happy early birthday, i hope the rest of the year turns out well for you
Happy birthday, i hope you continue to do the things you love, or try things out and discover what you love doing, because that really can create more meaning and joy. even if its just the little things, like going on a walk, or keeping a journal. especially stepping out of the comfort zone, which leads to new experiences and growth over time.
take care of yourself out there.
I’m 2 months younger than you. Thank you for speaking about this. Being an adult is hard. Finding out everyone is flawed is hard. Keeping yourself afloat is hard.
And yet…
i know toms square videos are always more sad and serious, but it is so comforting to know that even famous people like him go through the ups and downs of growing into an adult. i’m 18 now and sometimes it’s really hard to accept the fact that i’m slowly growing out of being a child and that i will have to find my place in this world now… anyways, to everyone out there who’s also still a little unsure as what to do and what to be, we’ve got this. it’ll all work out in the end
15:18 I was not at all expecting a tommyinnit bob dylan cover but wow it is well appreciated
I NEED A COMPLETE UNKNOWN RE-MAKE. TIMOTHEE CHALAMET IS GREAT, BUT HEAR ME OUT, TOMMY INNIT
that whole bit of "I know I'm doing the right things, I just wish I felt better about it" MAN is that relatable. That's exactly how I felt after I started therapy and working through some past experiences. It's nice to hear someone else talk about that feeling too
oh,, im so sorry bossman... take away your troubles and pain, double it and send it over to someone that deserves it... like dream.
for some reason i really needed this, even if our situations are so different ive been feeling awful and lonely too. i'm 16 and you're 20 and i don't know you and not to be parasocial but it is nice to feel like someone across the country is feeling the same as you, it's comforting
Honestly same, I’m 20 at I suppose it’s weirdly comforting to know you aren’t like the only person struggling with this, I basically lost all of my friends from my childhood and I just haven’t had time to make new ones with work taking so much time and all of that.
I’m sensing some Tommy Burnham energy over here
16:18 look who's in the back too!!!!!! woah!!?! 👀👀
British Bo Burnham
Hey Tommy, you’ll never see this but i just want to tell you, you saved my life. In 2020 i was going through such a hard time in my life and was at such a low point but watching your content after school or whenever i was sad, you always cheered me up, and ill never forget the day i saw your show in person and when you came on stage i just started crying, you help people more than you know and its amazing what you do. Please don’t lose yourself and always remember to take care of yourself. You’ve helped so many people and i really hope you know that. Do what you love and what you feel is right. Follow your heart, and take time for yourself.
I second this
Amen to that!
Going/getting through rough patches is so human, so thank you for showing us that.
dude this shows a really creative vision. I could totally see you making short films, you have a distinct cinematic style! The editing on this is brilliant!!!!
9:25 Tommy opening his heart and the crow just mocking him
It's probably one of the crows from Phil's chat trying to cheer Tommy up lol 😂
@ lol I wanted to make a similar joke but it felt inappropriate. Cheers to you, though. That’s a good one.
Lmao it’s prob techno
Being 22 I relate a lot to this and I think everyone around this age does. This really helps a lot to see tbh so thankyou
This resonated with me quite a bit. I'm not 20 yet but i'm turning a "big" number in a few days. And i have NO IDEA what i want to do with my life. Like i've graduated highschool, now i'm expected to get a job or go to uni/tafe. But i don't really want to do that? Like it's weird. I'm perfectly happy sitting at home, reading my books and playing my games. I don't like it how we as teenagers go from no responsibilities, then as soon as you turn a number it's like "hey! you're now an adult, here's the real world, have fun!" And it's just not fun. No one tells you what to do or how to survive. They just expect you to know. And it's so overwhelming. Maybe that's why staying at home with my books and games is so nice, because it's predictable and safe. You can't get overwhelmed with what you're familiar with.
Ok i'm rambled quite a lot but hopefully some of that made sense? If you read this far thank you, i hope you have a really good rest of your day/night ❤❤ and if it wasn't good then i hope you treat yourself kindly ❤❤
Being the same age as Tommy during all of this hits different, because now that we are both adults. I remembered watching him as a kid, while WE were kids… It’s crazy, now we are both dealing with issues that come with growing up, it’s honestly so humanizing to see.
14:03 I was waiting for music to feature as it’s such a beautiful coping mechanism that so so many can find comfort in
i know this is a video expressing the struggles you've been through the past month (i'm not quite finished yet), and i feel honored that you feel okay sharing this side of you with us in these 3x4 videos :] but i have to say the way that these videos are curated is fantastic, the cinematography, the music choices, the different fonts and texts. it really feels like a love letter to yourself. it's really nice, man :]
Tommyinnit square video just dropped, ready to feel the feelsss
