My first video: • On being a disabled loser
Reflecting on one year of the channel: • Am I Still A Loser 1 Y...
No, you are a natural winner. You have friends, family, food, good health roof over your head that's a winner in my book.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
You are not a loser. You are very intelligent and hard working. I really like the topics you talk about in your videos. Congratulations for graduating grad school and getting your masters degree! I’m autistic and I’m planning on going to grad school and I’m going to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in the fall. You should keep making videos and you inspire me a lot. I have autism and I feel like a loser sometimes and I get underestimated a lot. People such as my old special Ed teachers and case managers didn’t think I could do things like work, go to college, drive a car, live independently, etc…
Thank you and I'm so happy I could do that for you. I hope that when you're done with your schooling you are about give back to the community. I'm currently trying to start volunteering for the ARC. And I do remember you telling me about that in a previous comment. Remember that they can learn all the facts and have all the education that they want but those medical and social professionals, will, for the most part never know what it's like to be in our situations.
Hi, I found this video by accident and I'm glad I did.
You're not a loser. You are articulate and well-spoken. It's a pleasure to listen to you, I will definitely watch your other videos. You also seem like a very good person. I wish you good luck with volunteering. I hope you meet some good friends there.
Congratulations on your anniversary!! I actually like the style of your videos. It seems more genuine this way. It's almost like having a conversation with someone. Also, the fact that your channel grows without some crazy effort only proves that you have a lot to offer - that your ideas and thoughts are enough to gather someone's attention.
Also, you have an impact on others. I think I can learn a lot from you. We have different problems and different lives but it's comforting and inspirational to see someone so honest and hard working.
I feel like this comment is all over the place and sorry for that. But I just wanted you to know that if anything, you already impacted someone. A 19 year old girl from Poland :D
Thank you so much! One of my first viewers and subscribers was also from Poland! I feel like Latin America and Eastern Europe do genuinely have a lot in common. Thank you for watching!
Glad you're still keeping on keepin on brother. Such is life
Thank you dude!
Hi Gabe your shirt made me laugh, my friend always says, "I don't remember asking to be be born" 😂
Great video, you continue to be so well spoken and speak on topics that affect everyone, even though it's in our own unique way.
Always gateful for your perspective❤
Thank you so much. It's comments like these that really make my day.
You're a high achiever. It's tough at the top.
🌟
I appreciate that you think that.
I will say this: there are some lucky people put there and some unlucky ones out there. I feel like you are one of the lucky ones because your family loves you so much that even us able bodied people don't get. You are not a loser. Our society is so ableist unfortunately.
I do agree that I have an extremely loving family. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.
heyy congrats to 2 years! i love your videos and you are not a loser and never have been i promise. i get it with the feeling like nothing has changed but when you really stop and think there are little things that had to have changed! i swear. you seem to have an awesome personality and look fun to be around and there are going to be people out there that will see you and want to be a friend. you already have a positive impact here on youtube, and it will only grow!
Thank you so much for your support and optimism on my behalf, Arden!
@@ACrownofFlowers Of course! Keep going!
@@ardengrey7 I sure will!
I know how unfair life can feel seeing others flourishing and taking things for granted you yourself on the other hand just can dream about etc.
All the cognitive damage I had to endure and LongCovid on top of it all really breaked me so I wanna give you some positive perspective for you, achieving undergraduate degree and now your Master is really an accomplishment you can be proud of. Beeing cognitively well equipped in general makes life so much more enjoyable and science ever expanding it is within reach to lift people out of wheelchairs soon I think...on the other hand curing cognitively impaired/damaged people is not.
Anyway I like watching your videos from time to time and wish you all the best.
Thank you so much my dude. And I'm sorry you have long Covid.
Your an inspiration to me. How is that a loser? Its not possible to be both of those things. I'm pretty focused on the grind right now but I'd be stoked to talk to or play games or whatever sometime especially in the future as I'm very busy right now to be honest, and I don't want to disappoint you.
I appreciate that. And you don't owe me anything lol. Why would you disappoint me? I'm also kind of on the grind right now finishing my last few weeks of school and those projects that I mentioned. But of course there's always my email for this channel: askgabequestions@gmail.com if you really want to contact me.
you are not a loser, stop considering yourself that.
I'm trying, man. It's just hard to do when you have nothing.
Is true
@@vinser12458e thank you.
"This is not the life i ordered" 💀
Hahaha. I swear I didn't mean to wear that shirt.
nah your content cheered me up keep going gango
Thanks man.
you deserve a sub! Congrats! ✨
Thank you for your support!
Omg Congratulations On Your UA-camiversary 🎉! You’re Not A Loser You Are Amazing King!!
Thank you so much!
Happy youtube anniversary! You are NOT a loser. You're awesome, bro! Subscribing rn!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you. And I appreciate your subscription.
Ohh and congratulations to your 2 year anniversary!
Thanks!
Hola Gabe. I wish I had a friend like you.
I appreciate that brother.
You look very handsome in your new profile picture man. Honestly ,I'm a bit jealous.🌚
Also, you're not a loser. You're friendly, smart, and fun. You're my favorite Latin guy.
Thanks. That's so flattering. 😅
@@ACrownofFlowers Dude, sometimes I really think that God played favorites with the Latins when it comes to beauty and handsomeness.💀
@@drk-nh3rw hahaha. Maybe. 😝
I have a genuine question with no disrespect for anyone. If a child will be severely disabled when it is born so you think they should terminate the pregnancy? Or is all life worth living?
It depends how severe we're talking about. If we're talking about something like Tay-Sachs, that basically leaves the child with no chance of survival at all, or some other super rare genetic or environmental accident, of course.
But if we're talking about stuff like Autism, Down Syndrome, or Cerebral Palsy (my condition), then no. I say no because people automatically assume that it's going to be worse. It might be harder, of course, but people just don't know that there are resources out there for most individuals with these conditions that can help them live a more fulfilling life together. I also think that a lot of people aren't aware of the dark history of stuff like (b)eugenics outside of Germany, and I think that if people were to actually read those accounts from places like the USA and England and stuff like that a lot of them would change their minds about it. And you can see this because the pro-choice people always use the disabled in their arguments for "that" choice.
As I've already said this doesn't mean that I'm completely against "that" choice. What I'm against is people using that in their arguments for "that" choice, and pretending like there aren't so many free resources that can help deal with a person that has disabilities that have sprung up in the last 50 years, or the assumption that it automatically means that life isn't worth living. I'm also against people that say that an attitude like that has nothing to do with years of oppression and systemic ableism-if you read the history-it does.
So yes, I think almost all life is worth living. I know that's unpopular to say as a progressive or left-leaning person, but disabled lives matter, and I'm tired of people acting as if they don't. There's still one protected form of discrimination in Western society, and from the womb to the grave, it's always been ableism.
@@ACrownofFlowers I agree with you. remember learning about ugly laws where people with disabilties were not allowed in public
@@ClestrixClips exactly, and even then disabled people were simply the most convenient scapegoat that people already disliked, so it would be easier to discriminate against them and poor people.
CHEERS🙋♀️🥤
🙋♂️🥳
yayy happy 2 years ig
Thank youuuu.
Genuine question, without your headrest does it get uncomfortable in your chair?
Yes. I work out and do shoulder and neck exercises but my head just isn't used to being up without a headrest.
Gotta stop doing skullcrushers in the chair dawg
Hahaha. I was actually steadying myself for chest presses and I snapped it off. Lol. 😂
You’re not a loser, trust me I’ve dated plenty🤭. I feel like a loser but only because people have made me. Since I do not smoke, drink or party.🤷♀️
Same.
Hello Gabe. I really hope you read this.
I really believe in you.
First of all, you hit 1k subs on UA-cam. That is a huge accomplishment! 90% of channels don’t go over 100 subs.
Second, you are in grad school! That is amazing! You are becoming more educated, more smarter, and you made publications! You are an academic !!!
Third, you said you were working out! That is awesome! You are working on your body and mental health! Imagine how far you will get after working out for a while !
Have you ever researched Neuralink? It is a device that elon Musk invented. It’s supposed to help people like you regain a lot of neurological and body mobility using a brain computer interface.
Imagine this, you keep making videos, you get better, you have a following , u make better content, u get some money, etc, etc, and ur muscles get bigger cuz of ur gym, u get better mental health, and when u graduate, u will have a smarter brain!
A social media following, with a graduate degree, with muscles, that is not a loser! If you really want to walk, run, etc, then research Neuralink! I genuinely believe you will be a legend!
Work hard and never give up!!!
I really appreciate it, but I'm not really interested in all of that material stuff. Also the publications that I made weren't really academic in nature. One was for a magazine and the other was for a humanities journal at my college.
As far as Neuralink goes, it's not something that's new. The type of technology they have right now has been around for decades. I am excited for its potential and cost-effectiveness, but I don't want having an Elon Musk run company have access to my brain literally. Also, I'm comfortable being in a chair and I feel like if I have to make myself walk just for people to accept me then they weren't really accepting me in the first place.
How old are you now?
25.
Besides the lazy eye, you could easily become a chad. I see good bone structure on the facial part and u have good genetics to gain a lot of muscles.
Just hit the weights at the gym. 🤠
I already have been lifting for 12 years bro. I literally say that I broke my head rest from lifting within the first few seconds of the video lol.
@@ACrownofFlowers Very nice. But your still a little thin, but overall in a decent shape, ergo you can always lift a little more.
Funny, you actually look like William J. Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein. A bit more training and you could cosplay him 😃
@@captainsafety88 wow. Thank you so much man, I love Wolfenstein! Part of the reason why I have to stay thin is because other people take care of me and it has to be possible for them to help me transfer out of my chair, so if I'm too bulky it's impossible for them to do that. if you look at my earlier videos you can see that I'm even thinner than I am now. So I can't really bulk that much. Either way, that's still the best compliment anyone has ever given me lol. I'm in a wheelchair so being told that I look like a soldier is really flattering.
@@ACrownofFlowers I didn't know you were in a wheelchair. I only stumbled upon your channel because of the monetization.
I think it's great that you're publicly communicating about the challenges you face in life. The real challenge is having no tasks or perspectives in life, or let me put it another way, thinking that you have none.
As for women, there are many, even very attractive ones, who are also wheelchair users. Some wheelchair users are professional athletes-basketball, for instance.
You shouldn't feel inferior at all, quite the opposite.
And if you feel insecure about your eye, consider getting an eye patch, à la Snake Plissken. It would really suit you well.
Everything will work out. You're on the right path bro. 🤠
@@captainsafety88 thanks man. I really appreciate it.
I can recommend you to follow Jesus Christ; he is the Way, the Truth, the Live!
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." Corinthians 4:17
I'm already a cultural Christian. Thank you very much, though. If you look through the channel more you'll realize that all of my content is more or less Christ-oriented.
Sorry i don't know that.. i just saw this Video and it reminds me at my own Life and i had the urge to shed a Light!
I wish you all the Best!👍🙂
Thank you so much, brother.
In my opinion you could never be a loser.
Not in the past, not in the present, not in the future.
Happy 2 year anniversary of your channel!
Thank you. And yeah, it truly is all relative. I guess when I say that I just mean in (western);society's estimation. I appreciate your comment.
