6:30 her response after reading the secret definitely was not the response I was hoping for hence I’m experiencing something similar to the secret read… somebody else to give me some advice about this?

[@Thorayaa]

I'll pin your comment so people can give you some advice. If you feel comfortable, please share what role you play in the relationship - are you having a hard time leaving a relationship because you're unsure or is it the other way around?

[@js7924]

Sometimes the best kind of love is the slow burn and respectful love, I used to think the hot sexual chemistry relationship was IT but that’s fleeting too. Being best friends is underrated but you should also be feeling safe, loved and happy. If not then it may be a benefit to separate for a few months. Try journaling and meditating on it. Best of luck!

[@cynthiaandvern]

I have been married for 21 years, and I definitely had feelings like this leading up to getting married. We dated for 6 years before we wed, and prior to getting engaged, there were moments that I didn't know how committed my now husband was to getting married, starting a family, because it seemed to be taking so long, and it was something I really wanted. But I didn't have a reason to end the relationship- we get along, we support each other, it's what a person should want out of a relationship, but it had gotten very " comfortable", or maybe predictable? So I stayed, and sometimes I still get those same feelings that I am missing out on something. That maybe I should have walked away. But there isn't anybody else I would rather hang out with on a Friday night. Or share a holiday with. Vent about a crappy day to. Would I like a bit more spice and romance? Of course. But that isn't who he is. And I think we put a lot of pressure on men sometimes to be like someone in a romance novel or movie. And that just isn't realistic.

[@apricotpapi]

I think in my opinion, if you are experiencing these thoughts you are becoming more open to the idea of infidelity possibly, or not necessarily infidelity but open to the idea of “no strings attached” vibe to a partner who refuses to be part of that. That’s why revealing early on intentions when dating is important. A lot of relationships nowadays are going downhill due to bad foundations. This is evident especially when you are new to a relationship and younger. Relationships are phases of “trial and error”, therefore if you don’t experience various scenarios i.e a short situationship situation, a sexual connection, a strong romantic connection with someone who lives hours away from you, once you go through these stages you will get to understand what person you are willing to become in a relationship and hopefully seek them qualifies in your partner/ significant other. Does this make sense? Because the last thing the person who you are romantically involved with or at least from the person’s perspective is that they don’t want to be part of build up that will soon come crashing down on them

[@viiiRA_]

I kept a solid set of questions regarding being unsure of your relationship that I heard from Chris Williamson, though it's from Reddit so give whatever respect you wish: 1. If someone said, "You're a lot like your partner!" Would that be a compliment? 2. Am I fulfilled or am I just less lonely? 3. Am I able to be, authentically and unapologetically myself, or do I need to show up differently to please my partner? 4. Am I in love with my partner right now as a whole; or am I only in love with their good side, potential, or idea of them? 5. Would you want your (imagined) children to be with someone like them? As for my own opinion, it really is a difficult question to answer when we don't have an information, like any question, truthfully. However, you say you've been together for a long time, so why now and not after a year or two? Is there someone tempting you? Why _don't_ you want to leave? A selfish reason like fear of lonliness and failure? Is your "What if?"'s worth more than what you're going to lose? Are they even viable? You also have to take into consideration the current dating milleu. Though we don't hear _everything_ , but there's a terrace-dynamics of voices speaking poorly of it. Ultimately, you have one life and you really only get to choose a poison. You're going to face something regardless. Either lose your (loving?) partner or lose opportunity. If you're going to take risks, be ready to take responsibilty for the outcomes. Learn your lessons fast or they will repeat themselves. The best answers are often found in virtue. Best regards.

That last guy was so wholesome

[@ArtisticDreamN]

100% agree he should join your team T ;-)

[@ssosole]

@@ArtisticDreamN That’s so cute thanks!!!

[@niksomerford]

I wish i loved life like this guy

[@vlinder0108]

The last guy telling his male friend that he loves him. Is just fantastic. Not everybody does that. And he"s good looking to!

[@peak_911]

I have done it, when i was going thru college entrance, my friend encouraged me at every moment, even when i failed it. Best dude i have ever met.

[@SeattleRaindrop206]

@@peak_911I adore that! It means more than you can possibly know!!!! …And you know what, you’ll never ever regret it. Telling the meaningful people in our lives that they’ve affected us and that we love them is never time wasted. It’s particularly great when Men do it, not a lot of guy friends do. So good for you👏 Just the other day my big brother (someone I’ve looked up to, but could never live up to, my entire life) told me he trusts me wholeheartedly & implicitly, that my judgement has never steered him wrong, he appreciates me, loves me, and wants to be more supportive of me to. It was jaw-dropping. I nearly cried. He’s never said anything like that. He’s going through a bad divorce and he’s leaning on me, from 3k miles away it’s hard but we talk nearly everyday, and it’s strengthened our bond. It’s the tough times in life I suppose! …That’s when we learn who’s in our corner. 🩵✨

[@PlayMyDarling]

The fact that a cis male told his male best friend that he loved him is so great!! Also, very self-reflective and communicative. That's the men the world needs! Seriously, this gives me hope.

[@sarahm7086]

I initially thought he was younger than he really is because of that bright optimistic energy he has - so beautiful and refreshing to see as someone who is around his same age

[@bramvangeldertech]

I say that to my best friend (cousin) pretty regulary

[@astralfluxaf]

Honestly the “best friend” faking that she’s her friends online boyfriend is absolutely disturbing and why I don’t trust most people 😡

[@paris_mars]

Yeah, that one was wild. That and the serial killer thing both made me a little uneasy.

[@aidanschram9652]

I’m imagining that person when writing it down thinks “it’s just some quirky little joke xD” when in reality they’re a total psychopath for doing that to their so called “best friend”.

[@fleabag6477]

It's crazy how she could do that to a FRIENDDD

[@blackk_rose_]

yeah that person isn't a friend. it's wrong to do that to anyone, but especially a friend. i hope she finds out and removes that "friend" from her life.

[@em2ten]

I once had a same situation in 2008. I thought I talked to a cool dude from NY - to find out two years later, that that was the freind of a friend who used to do this cause a other person she wanted to not let go or something like this.. But all the chats we had, over many weeks ... to get, that this was all fake was disturbing as hell. i'm totally with you - people are strange

[@eastcoastrabbit4474]

Love the young guy at the end, and that he felt secure enough to tell his male friend that he loved him as he wrapped up the conversation. He was so casual about it, I hope those two always remain friends.

[@MessagesFromAurora]

yesssss 💙

[@fetacheeselover]

I can’t even express how happy the last guy made me. “It’s like, beautiful to be alive. It’s like really fun. It’s like really cool.” He’s such a laid back person I could probably listen to him talk for hours.

[@paris_mars]

The guy at the end has the best energy. He's like human Bambi, just happiness and innocence vibes.

[@Tempted_Lotus]

I agree with most of the responses, except for the " family is everything" please know if your family is toxic they are NOT everything and its ok to walk away if they are being abusive 💗

[@maryscary]

Also, family doesn't mean that you're related by blood. You can choose who is your family

[@Ash-xt1ej]

⁠@@maryscaryabout to say the same thing. Who you choose to be your family, THEY are everything, and you are everything to them

[@karmaoutlaw]

I hear ya. Sometimes the family one grows up with are indeed toxic and abusive. Its a nice sentiment though.

[@Haileyjane2004]

Family doesn’t just mean your blood relatives though❤

[@fetacheeselover]

@@karmaoutlawfamily can be chosen. Yes, I agree with you, but I still think family is everything- either blood related or the one you chose.

[@AsimiShadowborn]

The speech of that guy at the end truly clicked in my brain. I hope he sees this video & the comments so that he may know how many people appreciate him and his words

[@AdventurousInsight]

“One’s ability to connect with someone else is completely dependent on connecting with yourself” damn truer words have not been spoken

[@jennytaylor3324]

That guy at the end was great. He seemed to managed to retain a certain innocence that was touching and inspiring

[@carlyzvoice]

The last guy was so sweet. The thing he mentioned about the social mold that we can’t break out of even when we’re by ourselves.. that’s so real and I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to let go of those thinking patterns

[@vijayeswarikaul]

The last guy felt so genuine and adorable. As someone around his age with similar experiences, I could just listen to him for hours.

[@chonisolo1720]

I loveee what the lady from Poland said . “Keep dreaming”

[@alyssalovescats7]

Marzenie was definitely meant to read that secret. The world works in such amazing ways. I hope that person gets the daughter they dream for 💛

[@nadia2247]

I need these to be 3hrs long, I’d watch every second! It’s so interesting to get these little glimpses of transparency into other people’s experiences with anonymity. Just really affirms that whenever we feel alone in feeling what we feel there are people who find connection in that and relate to it when we’re open ❤

[@nadia2247]

Thank you so much Thoraya for creating these opportunities for us to connect with others, what you do is so special and so very appreciated 🫶

[@georgietaylor388]

Thoraya does extended cuts on her Patreon!

Black girl with the glasses and braids,..your voice is so soothing and i could listen to you talk all day. And you are beautiful and i totally agree with all you said...i hope you are having a nice day wherever you are. Keep shining ❤

[@justsaynah5205]

Was exactly what I thought. She had this therapist/podcast voice you can keep listening to

[@shelbydrake6064]

The guy at the end is a beautiful human.

[@nacsar3]

Person at the end was so positive! Wish I had even a fraction of that on the daily.

[@MercyOginga]

Me too

[@lacemsboo]

That was a perfect way to end this video! Human connection is so important. Great video as always!

[@BryAnthonyC.]

Sometimes i cant help but to feel like some people are meant to read certain secrets. Especially when they have gone through what the person is expressing. Its like divine timing for both the reader and the person writing the secret. I'm glad you were able to record everything that guy was saying towards the end. He had some greats tips that everyone and i can benefit from. He seemed like a well standing and respectable man. Everyone was simply awesome in this video!

[@alparotti]

wish I had a friend like the last guy

[@ymb6987]

LOVE THIS!! Each person reading a secret was phenomenal in the way that they related to the secret. Especially love the last person - happy that he writes to himself-that’s self-care we all need to do. This series is perfect Thoraya❤

[@RouillierDisguised]

I love the guy that keeps going cause he just has lots of thoughts

[@elizabethwoodyard8241]

Man, the last kid was a little older than I thought by his looks, but still wise beyond his years and well spoken. I enjoy listening to people that talk about ideas and feelings so openly.

[@Thorayaa]

Hi ❤ let me know what you think of this episode!

[@Zeyek1]

nice, thinking outside of the box with this one

[@mommalou64]

I always look forward to all of your videos. You are so brave for doing this and it brings me joy

[@daisy_elle_]

loving it!! especially the NYC part 😂

[@mxxxn]

I enjoyed the bits of silence in past videos where you can see the reader pondering the confession while the sounds of the world are still going on around them. It allows us as the viewers to sit with that secret, or the thoughts from the readers, ourselves & everything feels like it has been allowed to take up space, that it matters being spoken out loud. I didn't feel the same with this video, I felt rushed & couldn't keep up with every note being read as they kept flashing on the screen back to back. Maybe the people in NYC are simply not ones to waste time taking something in lol, I'm not sure what it is. I also think the jumping around locations didn't help & added to the feeling that every minute needed to be filled instead of felt. Again, could be the chaotic hustle & bustle of the city life since the shots in the park brought it back for me.

[@chrish.3156]

Omg Thoraya!! I can’t believe you were in NYC!! Would give anything to be interviewed by you! You are beyond awesome & love you tons..

[@aims.god2]

The last young man…how to even sum it up in a few words, I don’t know. What I do know is, it’s fair to say that this young man has inspired me, and presumably others in his life, to love yourself, speak your truth, know your worth and enjoy the journey of self expression to finding yourself. Write to yourself, speak your truth to yourself, for you will find peace in yourself and understand. A way of self soothing and calming your nervous system. Do what scares you. Thank you Thoraya

[@maxinepulsipher7647]

I am cryinnnn, to know that all these people are out here; their hearts so heavy with emotion in every moment…is so beautiful and precious. Being a person is so special :)

[@Allexz]

Somewhere near the end of the last guy talking i sensed myself sitting with the biggest smile just listening to something beautiful.... what a beautiful mind!

[@matthewh3528]

The last guy.told his friend jack that he loved him. That's one solid dude and friendship. They have each other's back for sure.

[@sharongillesp]

Family IS NOT EVERYTHING - sometimes it’s the worse thing. We can each pick who’s apart of our family, even those we’re related. As well as to those we are not.

[@krisstuyvesant2784]

That last guy made me so happy. I hope I can be like him more often!

[@mommalou64]

[@lisahinton9682]

The Polish lady was absolutely marvelous. I wish she were my neighbor, or my coworker, or anyone in my life, really.

[@VanessaChats]

Thank you for including the guy being "gushing" of his "bro" (mate) and showcasing healthy masculinity. Really hope that kid never changes. I also do the audio journalling and love it too.

[@lilanienalapo5611]

It’s humbling and comforting knowing that we’re all capable of relating to one another in some way and I find that too in other videos you provide and it’s appreciative, thanks again Thoraya

[@kaybryan7530]

Aww i love the last guy. As a therapist, his wisdom and ways of thinking is so refreshing and amazing. Amazing human being and so kind

[@vickirider4651]

I love this, especially the last guy, he reminds me of my son, same age. It must be emotional to read other people's secrets. Thank you for doing this. ❤

[@bleachboy1362]

I’m glad that there is someone like me who is a little bit older and so honest with himself. Thank you for making this video and for making me feel like I’m not alone.

[@donkeydonut7358]

For me the star of the show was the background guy in the brown jacket (6:27) who went completely still for exactly 40 seconds and then did a visible snap back to reality. My theory is that he got a message from the fellow aliens that currently it is more human to have a phone in hand when trying to blend in

[@terezarasovska8346]

He was just listening and then someone messeged him or he realized he looks like he is listening so he pretended to do something on his phone. But ok your story is cooler

[@verycurious23]

I am obsessed with such interviews you do,I have decided to try to do the same in the place I live this summer❤sooooo afraid to fail and not to find people who will agree for such interview but hope I will survive somehow😂

[@Groundedsquirrel]

You will! Some won’t take the invitation but the ones who will are going to be great to talk with. No need for perfection.

[@gracelim5531]

wait the emotional maturity of the last guy is insane. i dont even know if i can list off the top of my head any other guy friend i know whose as emotionally mature as him and i know ALOT of people.

[@jcharris6557]

The last guy in the plaid was awesome. I recently lost my uncle Jack, so his friend being named Jack is an extra special sign. Thank you for all you do. It means so much to connect with people that I will never meet. I appreciate how you show humanity just being human.❤️💝❤️💝❤️💝❤️

[@heloizas.1508]

8:59 to those feeling like this person: picture this. You are back to a day you were still a little one, asking the world or people that you love, things that felt really important to you. You would love to have a guitar. You would love your parents to say you sing beautifully or that you do amazing drawings. Now imagine you need to say to this little version of yourself "you are not worthy of any of those things". Can you do it? Because, for a long time, I didn't realise I was doing this to myself. I still have a child inside that were used to listen horrible things from myself. The day I realised this, I gave myself a long hug, and gave a second chance on my dreams. Everyone is worthy.

[@kinari831]

What a great episode. The man at the end was phenomenal. He is truly inspiring and his words struck something deep within me. Thank you for what you do!!

[@Queerpunx]

That guy at the end of the video. Woah! This guy needs to come back onto your channel. What a magical human, we should all strive to be that comfortable with our emotions.

[@jaycee825]

I feel like life is doing its thing though you Thoraya... thanks for filming.

[@359Aides]

I loved the thoughts of the Kirby hoodie guy

[@HugsXO]

Great video. If you have thoughts that you are in the wrong relationship, then you are. Honesty and trust once broken can be repaired but never healed. My sisters husband cheated on her. She decided never to trust anyone enough to share her life with again. She'd rather be alone than having her heart broken😢

[@echobeefpv8530]

I love this episode !! I have to be careful when I watch your videos, as they tend to trigger the big time feels for me. That last guy sounds like me , a lot. I tell my people I love them all the time, because it's true. I love you, even though I don't know you. If people can hate without reason, they can love the same way. I read that, and it's true for me. I try to spread love, empathy, and caring as my corner stones in my life. It's a good way to live, as I get it all back and more.

[@farzanasange2539]

This was such a heartwarming episode.. And just the therapy the individuals probably felt just writing those down, must have felt like a sense of relief... Thank you for taking the time out to do this.. I love all your videos... I hope to meet you someday along the street while you busy either recording or have 1 of these stations or the dancing circle....

[@zeeglass]

I really relate to the last guy in what he said about writing and the way he thinks. I loved hearing his thoughts, the way he explained things was amazing :)

[@easlern]

This is by far the best channel on KZbin

[@bravefaery135]

[@rose-yi4ez]

Truly! Loved this episode Thoraya we need more like this!

[@radfoo72]

Thanks for the therapy sesh😭 I can relate to several of these but the last was my favorite❤

[@user-kkk8]

To the person who is afraid they’re in a relationship with the wrong person because they have doubts. I was there, so I can relate to the feeling of maybe missing out and questioning if this is the right person for me. Someone helped me, and maybe sharing this it will help you, who also has the same thoughts. I was asked a simple question: “Why do you need romantic relationships?” - for me, it was because I was scared of being alone so to avoid this fear, I stayed in one relationship where I loved the person, but I was not in love with them. Just ask yourself, “Why do I need to have relationships?”

[@sadproses23]

I fully relate to the last guy. The covid situation, the socializing, the writing stuff, and the voice memos of my endless thoughts too. He explained it in a great way, just like it is.

[@craigfreeman7665]

The young man at the end I hope he knows he is a light in this world.We need more people like him.

[@duns0000]

People turn out to be so much more relatable and well intending and empathic then i make them in my head as i dont speak to them.

[@a.j.soleil3955]

Hi Thoraya! Always look forward to your posts, and wish you did more. Hope that you are well always❤❤❤

[@jaureguihansen5798]

This is the first time I’ve seen someone talk about what it was like going through the pandemic during their senior year of high school into their freshman year of college like I did and I feel so validated right now. Glad to know I’m not the only one who has been struggling so much with socializing entering my adult years. It’s like back in high school and middle school you just kinda had friends because you’re with the same group of people for many years of your life, so when you go off to college and don’t know anybody, you almost forget how to make new friends. And the full year of isolation only made that impossibly more difficult.

Sometimes like these days I am in a very dark place within me and this video helped me right now , at least for the moment to feel a good chunk better then before. specially the last dude had a super lovely vibe with his friend jack. // and I thought, not for the first time that If I would make YT videos (as I think about for years now without the courage to just do it - that IF, I would like to borrow ur Ideas.
