AN HONEST TALK ABOUT NOT FITTING IN & STAYING TRUE TO YOURSELF | Vlog #22 | Annie Jaffrey

[@iolanda1000]

I would love to have a friend like you...you are so special

[@annalauraamenta]

You should write a book Annie!!

[@AmberXO]

I agree!

[@emmaeubank952]

Yes!!

[@kassie.m]

I don’t usually comment on KZbin videos, but I really enjoyed and appreciated when you shared your journal entry to this community. I’ve always had trouble keeping lasting friendships because I’ve never met anyone who I felt that I can be 100% myself around (other than my boyfriend, fortunately). It definitely gets lonely, but just as you said, the “odd” or “weird” feeling that I have when I feel different from others is completely okay to feel. I’m still learning to love myself completely, but it felt SO reassuring that someone as amazing as you is going through something similar! Once again, thank you for sharing Annie and I look forward watching more of your content.😊💕

[@xsweetl0ux]

I don’t think you have an idea how much of an impact you can have on someone’s day by doing these vlogs. Your vlogs instantly brighten up my day when I feel down. You seem so genuine and you always bring positive and inspiring thoughts in your videos, truly beautiful. Much love from Canada 💜

[@miumiu3371]

I need this girl every day in my life. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@anastasiastasinou5959]

so true i feel the same she is so positive!!

[@Awesomebeautyxo]

I swear I live for these vlogs 😍🙌

[@lifeasrudi]

😍😍

[@whydn5559]

Live your own life girl

[@nadiaminuzzo]

Annie I can definitely relate, the only person I can truly be myself around is my husband and unfortunately I don't have any friends that enjoy and can relate to the things I enjoy like staying fit and healthy, meditating and doing yoga, a deep love and passion for beauty and health and wellness, someone I can have deep spiritual conversations with about life, about self, about the universe. Being authentic can sometimes be a lonely journey but never change or falter from the journey you are on just to 'fit-in'. Losing yourself and who you are is a far greater loss that losing a friend you may have outgrown or can not connect with, because you are your own life-size original. Much love, happiness and blessings to you !! You are an inspiration to so many !

[@Sincerelysarajane]

Wow. I fall more in love with you each time you post these vlogs. You are absolutely beautiful inside & out. I relate to you so much and you inspire me beyond words. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. You are truly an amazing woman!

[@rueminty1315]

I absolutely adore you. I recently had to let go of my 9+ year relationship/engagement. I am 35 years old and am still working on accepting myself and learning to love myself exactly as I am. I accidentally stumbled across one of your other videos and I feel like it was divine intervention! You are so inspirational and uplifting. Thank you for being you and spreading such positivity with everything you are putting out into the universe! I only pray and hope that in doing so, you create ripple effects which go on and on🤗💜

[@NikiSky]

Annie, I LOVED your journal entry and can relate to it so much! It has taken me a long time to accept myself and my "weirdness" and totally understand what you mean about feeling like an outcast. I get so much enjoyment from watching you grow in your vlogs and I'm sending you so much love and light

[@TheKatalin93]

The name “Annie” suits you so well! I don’t know why, but it feels that it describes your personality- kind, sweethearted and positive 😘

[@HollBentley14]

True!

[@urszuladluzewska]

Your videos are always so uplifting! You have so much wisdom in you. It’s funny because I’m older than you and yet I have learned so much from you! You are truly inspiring, love your positive energy 🙏🏻💕

[@jackieleclerc5000]

Annie, I could not agree more with you when you said it is very hard to find people in your day to day life to connect with and who ultimately enjoy the same things as you (beauty, health, fashion, etc.). It is very comforting knowing I am not alone in that thought. Thank you for being a daily inspiration

[@beverleyroberts1025]

If someone gave me the choice of being the same as everyone else or being different, I would choose being different. And be proud of the fact you are different and unique.......and people you meet are generally more interested in those who are different.x 😊

[@sophiaanthony6738]

Never miss your vlogs... Your so humble and amazing darling❤

[@weisstang6456]

Yes!!! pleeeeeese do a full video on this topic you shared in the morning journal! I love it so much!

[@annapihlgren3773]

I can not describe with words how much I recognize myself in you. Everything that you reflect on, feel and experience as well as your inspirations, passions and dreams. I am deeply touched. When I saw this I didn't feel that alone or "weird" as you described. I have never felt less lonely. You put words on so many of my thoughts and feelings and that is what makes your diary so incredibly magical. You are magical! Keeop on doing what you do, embrace yourself and just spread your wonderful postitivity, because that is what life truly is about! Hugs!!

[@nadias8574]

you are beautiful Annie❤️

[@christinel2359]

Annie! i really genuinely feel as though you are some angel that knows the perfect timing and the perfect things to say that really resonate with me! When you were talking about sometimes feeling at odds with your environment and having that disconnect with people around you because you feel 'weird' or a lil quirky, i got goosebumps because i feel the same way. i think differently to alot of the people around me and consider myself to be a little bit of an old soul haha and it was really comforting to hear your thoughts about owning your eccentricity and seeing it as a gift! it was a really nice perspective bc indeed our own personality is our own! 100% ours, a gift that we can shape and mould to our own liking. i hope you remember that your beautiful personality shines bright in your videos and draws the loving people to your community you've made on youtube and undoubtedly in your life so own it!! hehe thank you so much it was really nice to hear that perspective and i walk away yet again refreshed and enlightened from ur videos! Sending you the highest positive vibrations and love :))

[@satbirkaurhothi1142]

OMG. You literally are like my spirit animal! The points I am focusing on to better myself and live a happier, peaceful life are exactly the points you are focusing on. I absolutely love though that you touched on the point of feeling like you do not fit in at times, but remaining authentic! It is 100% true everything you said!!! Love your channel and your blog!!!!!!!!!!!! You are helping me on my spiritual and self-improvement journey!!! Please post more videos with such topics - it is your USP and we need more of it!

[@foxxyloxxyxo]

It is so refreshing to “be with someone” who shares authentic meaningful content on KZbin. It is so appreciated in this era of KZbin where negativity and drama is rampant. Thank you for being so honest and open🌸🌺

[@LilyFlower26]

Annie, this new content you are creating MATTERS! Thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for opening up your heart to us. Know that your influence has the power to change mind sets which in turn changes lives.

[@asavelakhala9609]

Hi Annie. I totally get you. I am at a point in my life where I am very selective of the people I surround myself with. And this is only because I want to live my truest, best self. However it has made me not have a lot of friends who I feel like I can relate with and I feel like the people who share the same vision as me about life are on social media for example you Annie. But this is my truest self and I won't change just to fit in.❤️

[@sophiarobson9734]

I love watching all your KZbin videos recently but this one has to be my favourite! I found the part when you talk about ‘fitting in’ and read your journal entry so relatable, comforting and motivating 💕💕

[@kalikakapoor1883]

ur the ultimate inspiration annie....i love u so much doll! keep these videos coming

[@CL-CCL]

Love the way you write your thoughts in your journal, very inspiring and truthful. Thanks for sharing!

[@katalinhorvath2477]

I love the fact that you are so honest with us, it means a lot to me.. Don't ever change yourself, most of the time I feel like I'm weird too but yes you are right that gives us our uniqueness. 😘

[@reshmap1328]

Annie you have such an amazing way to connect with others, and I find myself rewatching all your videos especially ones where you discuss your journal entries and motivation. You should really consider writing a book. I think you have a lot to offer and your insight is refreshing and inspirational! 💕😊 Also your what I ate videos have been so inspirational! I have added the water and lemon drink to my morning ritual 🍋

[@JennaDKwak]

I never comment on your videos but I watch every single one as it goes live. You are a huge inspiration to me and I find myself relating a lot to you as we are similar in many ways. It was reassuring that you also feel weird because I find myself feeling this way quite often. Ive never really met anyone else who doesn’t consume meat or alcohol, who wakes up at 5:00am, who meditates daily, who likes to take care of themselves internally and externally, who loves beauty, etc. etc. I don’t really know where this comment is going, but I wanted to let you know I enjoy your videos, your insight, your lifestyle tips, and your product recommendations more than you know! I am always excited to see you post. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@dassipiccirilli4315]

I think you read my mind! I have been feeling kinda lonely because it is hard to find people who think the way you or I do! So glad you did this. I know I am not the only one who lives a healthy positive lifestyle. I do my best to look and feel great every day. I always took the time to make sure I am my best self. I feel like watching KZbin really opened up myself to be more authentic. There are other women like me! Great job Annie with this video! Your videos are def getting better the more personal you make them. It’s finding a connection with others 😘

[@Jahairaruby]

This is why I love watching your videos. You remind me to be ok with myself and you inspire to be healthier in every way not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. Thanks for such positive content I really appreciate it. ❤

[@khanyimsomi]

I love you soooo much, love your aura and ur vibe it is really inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journal entry and serving in your own unique way, this is everything I needed to hear in this very moment. I am grateful for your content keep it up doll💕

[@hennilou8092]

Thank you Annie again for showing your true self more and more in your videos! I am so proud of you for daring to do this - its incredibly brave! Love, Henni.

[@100975Maria]

So nice to watch! It's lovely you have some skin care , food preparation , showing your outfits and what you are buying , favourite book and tea and if course your thoughts about deeper things in life... Honestly what else can you wish from vlog?? The best ever! Much love xxxx

[@Lisa.Alexandra]

the aesthetics of this vlog though! love you Annie ❤️

[@SKA1017]

Thank you for sharing from your journal! Beautiful as always!

[@Rawrecoverycouk]

Your journal writing is beautiful +Anniejaffrey I totally feel just like you am older than you are but going through the same. We are called the "awaking ones" we are taking responsibility for our life in all areas, and doing the inner work which takes courage & lonely times- but when we know who we are with- in we don't NEED anything from outside. We will be fully authentic, fully whole and able to help many souls by shining our light! Big hugs x

[@sheerdee1583]

Hi Annie, I cannot express how much your vlogs inspire me to live a better life. I have been a Sabbie of your for a while now and have always loved your videos, however your vlogs are just so amazing!! ♥️

[@mariagolovko1830]

Love when you share your entries, you have such meaningful thoughts and a new realness comes through the videos when you read this out loud this intimate part of your life. Thank you for sharing, I didn't even think about these things and that I relate to this matter until i heard it from you. Thank you for that and for inspiring some food for thought.

[@vanlevy2008]

Love your "honor our uniqueness". Continue to be a kind person

[@hadasholland4354]

I love that you upload videos twice a week! every video is so positive and inspiring! it seems that you feel so good at this days! it gives me so much motivation! I see that you keep your place and your stuff very knit and clean! I would love to see a video about your cleaning routine :) love you!

[@meghanvandermolen1065]

I'm a week behind on your vlogs, so I can watch one every Sunday. Your words and energy really is contagious!

[@alexispearce9324]

Annie, you are so lovely inside and out! I really hope you write a book soon!! Thank you for all of your videos and positivity!

[@aleksandrabozic8723]

Beautiful soul and face

[@Thekpopenthusiast]

You are just so deeply inspiring Annie. Now I watch your videos everytime I want to get inspired and be productive! Also your talk about being true to yourself really resonated with me. I always felt kinda weird or different, but realizing that it's actually a positive thinking really helped me see things differently :) I wish you all the best, you truely deserve it

[@lanaberry9553]

You reading your journal changed my life I changed the way I live now I’m all about being positive I bought a journal and I can’t get away from it it’s so refreshing finding someone like you on KZbin so real and beautiful plz continue with the journal reading so relaxing and calming love you girl be you

[@nutritionistsarah]

I might be late here, but Annie? When you read your journal I thought "Wow, this woman is so true to us, so true to herself and full of harmony". You have a beautiful personality, I love that. I hope I grew up as a girl like you, who has so much confidence about herself ♥️ much love, Sarah

[@essbee5882]

Hi Annie, I related to your journal entry so much, it took me a long time to embrace the fact that I am different and it not being a bad thing. Thanks so much for sharing. Xx

[@megandaisy664]

I am just so loving these videos, they make me feel better and inspire me, I either watch when I'm getting ready in the morning or before or even washing up haha, it's just wonderful knowing you're letting us see more of the real you and it's so noticeable xx

[@serena3194]

Im on the same boat with what you were saying about positivity!!! Dont get me wrong, Im not positive outwardly like you but when it comes to difficulties Praise God Im so thankful to say I AM positive and dont like dwelling on the situation or make it worse than it is (I used to be extremely depressed & suicidal until I became a Muslim 5yrs ago). ALOT of people around me are always complaining and its hard sometimes to 'listen' to them because sometimes I just don't get it hence why I also feel 'alone' sometimes like you in regards to positivity.

[@Piaaful]

Wow the text was so beautiful and eye opening. And written beautifully. I'll definitely look at this video again when I feel different in a wrong kind of way. Thanks for sharing it!

[@m0nd0mi0]

Annie!!! Your journal entry is ABSOLUTELY exactly what I was reflecting on a week ago. Same as you I lived in a few different countries and while I am able to connect with a wide range of people I always felt a bit weird and different and like I never really fit in 100 per cent :) Keep up the great work!

[@mayelaacuna6766]

Your the sweetest girl ever!! I wish you were my friend! Thanks to your vlogs I’ve been cleaning/organizing my house, getting ready, making smoothies!! Etc! You inspire me! You should do clean my apartment, or organization tips video! Your place just always looks so elegant ❤️

[@sigridalegria7826]

Thank you so much for this video. Hearing you share your journal entry really made my day! You're videos are very positive and genuine and I really appreciate that 😊

[@zenrealm7181]

I definitely feel a connection. I'm very simular to you and have been using a lot of your tips and they have been truly transforming for me! Thank you!

[@stephaniegovedarica9476]

Beautiful Annie, your videos are so uplifting. You should write a book, you are full of wisdom! xx

[@nastheticsbc]

I can totally relate to the part where you said you feel weird and are able to relate to some of the people online more than real life. I definitely find it hard to find friends who have similar life style and way of thinking as I do. The ones I have are amazing but finding new friends that like what I like and are more mindful of things is more difficult. You're not weird you're different and it's a beautiful thing. I know I'm different from a lot of the people in this generation but I love it. And for those who feel like they dont fit in this days society don't change yourself for others and love who you are ❤️

[@jadem4478]

I've always looked up to you and how you take care of yourself, mentally and physically.

[@passionxox1]

Annie. I love you ❤️ You are my inspiration and every time I watch your videos, I can’t help but want to better myself for myself everyday. You reading your diary made me tear up because I am also weird. I have always tried to push myself to be more extroverted because I never feel like I belong with others cause I am so quiet. But I am who I am. I embrace it and I love it.

[@giulia91450]

I really love your videos, especially this one about fitting in and embracing your let’s say weirdness :) I’m truly into beauty routine stuff and I love so much the sensation of taking care of your self so I really get you when you talk about it.

[@soniasanson6419]

Annie I love you and I want to thank you for everything. For a year I haven't had a beautiful period in my life but watching your videos helped me to see the light. Thanks to your videos I opened my eyes and I started to meditate, to taking care of myself, I've read a lot of books and also books that you reccomend and I also understood that before love someone I have to love myself first. Now I know me better, I know who I am and everyday I'm thankfull for everything, the bad and the good, now I'm living the positivity. So thank you for everything

[@Jmolinaro3]

I can honestly say you have always been one of my favorite “real” youtubers...I go on streaks of watching you and then watch others but I always find myself coming back to your channel for a wake up call. I’m also one of the “weird” ones in my group of friends and even though everyone says that’s the part they love about me, I always feel so different from everyone. Thank you for bringing me back down to earth and remember to embrace my uniqueness 💗💗💗

[@marizelimar79]

You are an angel💗thank you so much you are helping so much with these vlogs it’s like a cure. You inspire people to be and feel better. I wish you the best Annie

[@starabaker]

You are the QUEEN of vlogs. The best content out there, hands down!

[@Gorana55]

I can also relate to feeling different. Your journal entry was a breath of fresh air and helped me think of it through a more positive perspective. I really appreciate you sharing ❤️

[@cameroncolley2731]

Annie, I like the variety of your vlogs. Food, fashion, skincare and inspiration!

[@juliekostas7322]

Fantastic videos. Really enjoying watching this chapter of your life. All the looks you showcased were super cute!

[@purplegal05]

Annie, I have been following you for years and I thank God for the internet because I feel the same way that you do. I have always felt weird and that I can't really connect deeply with others. Also, much like how your journal, I do the same thing. I start out writing my thoughts, but as I explore my thoughts, my higher self steps in and when I read back my journal entries, I am like...did I actually write this?? lol. My writing always ends up very profound with lots of sage advice and helps me feel more connected to to everything, even though I feel isolated a lot of the time.

[@qiqieaqilah]

I can’t get enough of your vlog. You can upload 50 minutes long of video and i still watch it. Love u Annie! Xx

[@malina9760]

you're the only one who gives me so much positivity!

[@maria20277]

Annie, everyone of us feels a little weird but the truth is, just like we are all unique in our own way, we are also very much alike. The only thing that changes is the way we know how to express ourself, our desires and thoughts. But when we take that step and share ourself with others, that is the moment we realize we have been so alike all this time but were too afraid to put ourself out there thinking that we were weird. I can completely say you are an amazing girl and I can totally relate to you and the way you find beauty in everything, enjoying every little thing that seems very random but in fact, they have the power to create certain emotions, energies in us that make us want to stop and stare like "fools". I could continue but I know this comment is already super long... 💖

[@stephaniemay9792]

Well said! ❤️

[@Rubisfamous]

Maria

[@aissamun6381]

i love you so much. I am so happy and grateful that i have found someone who thinks and have the same belief as i do. I resonated with you in this video at every level.I also feel that i am different from the people in my life and the other day itself i was thinking of how i resonate so much better with the people online and the you tubers i watch and boom you are saying the same stuff today. This is synchronicity. The universe is truly amazing. And my heart is so full hearing that journal entry as it is exactly my thought. Thank you Annie for just being you.

[@KelseyKamify]

Sorry for the novel: I only recently started following you but you have already made such a beautiful positive impact in my life. Your journal entries are my favourite because I love to write and express my feelings. You have encouraged me to be more positive and really appreciate what life has to offer, and I hope that one day my journal entries will become as positive as yours, this is something I am currently working on. My point is that I do really enjoy when you read from your journal because you aren't like any other youtuber I have found. Thank you for your positivity, I always look forward to when you upload x x

[@JF-zs2lj]

Absolutely yes to a video about growing into a better version of yourself! Especially in regards to embracing your self as well as improving yourself at the same time! Also, since I am getting into hair a bit more, I am wondering: When you put up your hair so that you can wear your curls for a couple of days, are you able to brush your hair at all during that time? Love you Annie 🌻

[@mrsrebeccahobson]

how have i just found your channel?! obsessed! beautiful girl xx

[@missmegs37]

omg annie ur journal read was what i exactly needed to hear. being so into beauty, fashion, and health it's def weird for me b/c i also don't have a ton of friends that r so into self care which makes me feel like i need to fit in and care less. finding more ppl like u (and my momma) makes me feel less weird and love how u embrace it to be fully authentic

[@bamin93]

Thank you Annie! what a great reminder to allow ourselves to be completely authentic and allow others to do the same as well ❤️

[@ayyaal-qadomi7312]

Listening to your journal made me realize I’m not alone💕 living in different countries is hard sometimes to build friendship, but staying positive and aiming towards your goals is the main goal💘 you are a true inspiration Annie and Hopefully one day we meet and just talk about life😊☺️💖

[@MIRTHEVDB]

Hi Annie, I was feeling a bit down about myself today.. and I watched your vlog and I am feeling much better! Thank you for your inspiring vlogs, I always watch them and you are so kind and caring!

[@erika1235]

Annie!!! You have such a beautiful soul ♥️ I am working on being myself around others and it’s so true that it feels “weird” but thank you for being authentic with us, you are so beautiful

[@j.k8139]

So I'm here just re-watching my favorite Annie's videos 🥰

[@Pisces84]

I watched this to the end, your voice is very calming and it’s so amazing to see a video on KZbin nowadays without seeing people being fake and loud , just stay you Annie you are unique and that’s why we are here because we enjoy your contents 🤗😍

[@kaliha55]

Hello luv! Annie I have been watching your vids for awhile. Living in ny..and maybe a little before that. You are getting older, wiser. And loving yourself regardless of what others think. Becoming centered and secure with yourself. There is a certain degree of freedom and fearlessness that occurs when everything aligns and you simply are unapologetic about who you are. We are complex indiv..with diff aspects of our personality. You will meet all types that are attracted to the diff parts of you. Very rarely do find someone(besides your partner) who gets all parts..but when you do its magic. BLESSINGS! On living your best life..whatever that looks like for you. Hugs-luv💕 from NYC!

[@yasminbravo5196]

You are one of the few youtubers that I look forward too! I love your personality and your content! ❤

[@jennaedmiston7534]

Thank you so much for discussing not having like-minded people in your life! This can be such a challenge. I find your channel and lifestyle so inspiring 💖

[@OHbabe574]

You NEED to write a book Annie. These younger girls and women NEED to hear and believe this! ❤️

[@JennygoestoNYC]

You saved my day! Thank you so much!! ❣️❣️❣️💐💐💐💐 I Had such a bad day and you gave me the reminder i needed ❣️❣️

[@abbeyroadw88]

Annie, you are a ray of sunshine! Living for these videos lately ❤️

[@AmberXO]

Annie, I'll forever comment on every single video telling you how much I adore you and your videos. Your vlogs are the absolute best!

[@sheenacadiz1563]

You are such an inspiration! Truly!

[@jabinxy3277]

Thank you for sharing your journal entry. I feel like I've always had a problem being myself around others because I guess I've always wanted to be liked. But doing this has resulted in me not having real friendships and not showing my true self. You're right, we must be our authentic true selves. 😊

[@betsyr125]

Hi beautiful Annie, wow you are exquisite. Truly a special person. I wish i had a friend like you in my life. You are always glowing. So refreshing to watch and listen to. I can only imagine what being in your presence would be like. Absolute perfection and so stunning. Thank You for all your positivity. Please never stop sharing your kindness, wisdom and purity. True gem. 💖

[@florianakutrowatz3155]

What you read out loud from your journal really moved me. It's so true, I can totally relate to that. Please keep sharing "aha moments" like that with us :)

[@petyastoyanova2986]

i 've been watching you for so long (and yes i mean for years now) and i love your videos more and more every time you post a new one

[@martha-louise]

I really love your vlogs at the moment and how you're sharing more personal stuff than you used to. :)

[@__kolits__3918]

oh my god what u read from your journal is exactly what i wanted to hear these days because i really want to find someone to connect with deeply and just share common interests ..uuugh thank you .. greetings from greece

[@1990liyan]

Okay really thats it!! hearing you reading your journal.. you must write a book, a book that for sure has that two pages you read with an activity for us to write our own things within the book i would 100% buy it. love love you!!

[@jiwon5315]

Im going through a really difficult time but your vlogs really bring me positivity. Love you 💕

[@valentinapostruzin1862]

Don't know who you are but I wish you all the best girl! 💪

[@ahnakennedy5937]

Your light is contagious in the most glorious way! 💫🙌🏼💛 Btw that journal entry is *so* inspiring and absolutely true. I too feel like even my best girlfriends don’t fully coincide with my lifestyle but like you said, being uniquely yourself will bring you closer to those around you regardless. Team Annie all day!! 😘😘

[@monborek]

Thank you for sharing with things you love. Every time when I finish watching your videos I rush to do something for myself. It's shows what it your message and it really works. Sending my friendship to you from UK ♥
