    I'm a 22 yr old university student that struggles with depression, anxiety, and was just diagnosed with ADHD this past year. Listening to your reflections calm my anxiety because you know how to articulate common thoughts I have in my brain that I don't know how to convey. I enjoy your comedy, but I also appreciate just hearing your stream of consciousness. Keep making whatever you'd like to make, I will always be here to watch it!

    I’m 39 year old lady who works from home. I’ve been watching Drew for many years and mainly because I find that I resonate with his trains of thought on self and others. I was raised by a mother obsessed with peoples perception of our family. I too am often catching myself in behavior that is rooted in what people will think about me.
    I think peoples different level of comfort with self and image is fascinating.

    It’s so refreshing to be reminded other people have complex thoughts and emotions in a world where we are expected to present a version of ourselves without them. I’m a 23 year old girl who just graduated and started my new, first job - as my friends and family move away I am transitioning through this period of my life without them and as strange as it seems these types of videos are very comforting. Love you!!

    Drew, my brain works the way yours does and watching you talk is helping me understand myself better in a weird way. You would be shocked at how many people are still watching.
    I’m literally curled up in my robe eating soup listening to you. Like literally I could listen to you talk all day because you are so funny, kind, smart and interesting. Just remember what you said “It’s like I’m talking about the people who stopped & they’re not watching”

    I stayed until the end, watching 47:53 minutes despite having plenty to do today! I am a 52-year-old American woman married to a Greek shepherd and living in a village on Lesvos Island in Greece. I have no friends here, my husband barely speaks English and I am alone almost all the time being a housewife in an ancient stone house by the sea. I am also an artist who is almost always paralyzed by "not good enough" thoughts which have stolen a great deal of magic from me. I like listening to you because the battling thoughts are similar to mine and it's all very relatable. I appreciate your humor but I also appreciate when you are just talking like a friend. Somehow, it's comforting. I think you should just force yourself to upload something "not great" to your other channel so you can get the pain of being bad out of the way and realize you'll survive it just fine. I don't get an instant rush from carbs. Thanks for the video!

      Hi, Laura! I'm a 37-year-old American woman who also relates very much to (and takes comfort in) Drew. My only friends are online, and are few. I'm very isolated due to mental and physical illnesses, and live with my mom who I take care of. I consider myself an artist, whatever that means, really. I've only recently allowed myself to claim this one label that's always been so important to me. If you'd like to be internet friends, I think that would be great.

      I am a 23 year old female who also struggles with mental illness, which causes me to be isolated many times and caused me to lose most of any friends I had. I find solace is creating art but even that outlet is sometimes hard to find motivation to do or feel like I’m good enough. Listening to drew and knowing there’s someone else out there that relates exactly to how I feel and realizing there’s a whole community here that can relate makes me feel a lot less alone. :)

I’ve been watching you since I was 16, I sometimes watch to fall asleep as well.

    I believe it's an actual psychological thing that people have different ways they "present"? Like to some people youre a partner, or a peer, or a student, or their child, or an entertainer with an unseeable audience, and you act accordingly in those roles. None of them aren't you, they're just you adapting to the contexts. IIRC from a college course I took.

    Drew, you don’t always have to perform. Do we love your jokes? Sure, but no person is just one thing. Sometimes, you can just connect with other people, and that’s enough.
    I do understand this mentality though. I was “the funny friend” in a previous friend group until my mental health started spiraling, and they all kinda distanced themselves from me. It embedded this sort of “this is what I’m good for” mentality for a long time.
    But not every action you take or word your lips form have to be for the sake of a singular goal. There are people who are content with you just as you are. Give yourself permission to just exist with other people sometimes. I know it’s hard when you’ve got that internal asshole directing your life, but get ready for the harvest because it’s about to get corny, you can do it. You’re smart, creative, talented, empathetic, charming, witty, handsome, and overall a good egg. You’re gonna get where you want to be one day.

    This sounds like a conversation with me. Your intrusive thoughts and compulsion to judge yours thoughts are so palpable, I feel you. Remember the reason thoughts about monetizing moments etc, are so distressing is because they're in contrast with your true morals and feelings. Are you just doing talk therapy, or have you ever done Exposure Response Prevention therapy with an OCD specialist? ERP was life-changing for me. Keep going with these videos, its good to "practice" letting yourself be your authentic self. Even when your brain gets stuck😊 I also stop sharing online for similar reasons, so I'm having intrusive thoughts that people will think my comment is stupid and you're not even going to read it so its stupid to write comments on youtube videos and I should erase it, but I'm doing it anyway for the exposure to show myself its not so bad 😊

I think what’s so magnetic about you is your transparency and your ability to be so relatable while also being so specific about the experiences and thoughts you share. I’ve watched you for years and you’re definitely my comfort youtuber! This entire video has been such a refreshing thing to watch because I’m an artist and I feel the same pressures you do about making ‘content’ and being ‘present on a platform’ and the double edged sqord of visibility in general. I think you’re very brave and I’ve learned so much about how to carry myself in the world through you so thank you!

    also i just want to say your videos were a huge part of me choosing to go to therapy. you made me want to care about myself, and to get the help i deserve. thank you. i'm slowly starting to heal and sometimes it hurts but i feel so lucky that i seeked out help in the first place.

      I miss videos like this that actually helped me not feel alone. I first watched Drew and a lot of other youtubers in 2015 when I hit a really low point in my mental health and was recovering from an attack that left me spending most of my time in solitude. This was like my biggest connection with the world for half a year. Now it’s 2021 and I’m back in a similar place, a close friend passed away and I’ve hit a wall with my life, but social media is a different place, I can’t really find many people on UA-cam that are connect-able.
      I’m sorry that others feel the same way about feeling alone but if we’re honest about it then we know we’re not alone in that aspect. We’re not an anomaly.
