[@idgafiminfinite]

It is so refreshing to hear someone talk about changing their mind about wanting kids. I feel like so many people who have never wanted kids hear the whole, "Well you might change your mind in the future!" and I have a few friends who have actually decided they might want kids after thinking they wouldn't before, but I haven't really heard many people who previously wanted kids deciding they might NOT want them later on. Right now I don't really have any desire for kids, and I wouldn't rule it out completely for myself but it just doesn't feel like something I'd be disappointed about never doing so it's kind of comforting to hear that "changing your mind about kids" can go in that direction as well!

So much respect for being honest with us and talking about that part in your life where you felt most lost, it brought me to tears a little bit. You have always been an inspiration to me and are one of the major reasons I decided to come out, and I think you inspired so so so many more people in one way or another. Try reminding yourself of that if you ever feel like that again, you have been such a positive influence in SO many people's lives and your impact shouldn't be ignored. I think it definitely outweighs the possible decline of your channel (which is totally normal and okay by the way and you shouldn't feel bad about it). Love you, Tyler

[@Viv8ldi]

U are a great rolemodel. I always looked up to you when I was younger. Saying these things help me to accept myself. To see that a role model also goes to therapy because he is only a human too, helps me to accept my own humanity and that limits are normal, but accepting those limits can also cause a different elevation.

[@___xoxowww]

I have been such a huge tyler supporter for so long and I’ve listened to the podcast every week since it started when I was 14. Being on this journey with him, I’ve definitely felt like he has helped me grow into the best version of myself. I love seeing him be so honest and open about how he has had to grow and change in that time, but also how he’s finally in a place where he feels safe enough to share it. These videos are so refreshing in an era where the internet excepts everyone to be the perfect person and I’m so happy tyler is motivated again to be doing videos like he’s been doing recently!

[@shaneinseattle1785]

Kids are not a traditional “good return on your investment” kind of deal. I have adopted five, and I know what I am talking about, and I have a lot to say about it! Lol. They take more than they give, you love them more than they love you, etc. Ask your parents. There is also a lot at risk. Children turn out to be who they are... without regard to how you raised them. Again, ask your parents. Sometimes your kids don’t share the same values you do, for instance. It creates conflict, and makes connection at any age pretty complicated. So it is complicated. And there is “life before kids” and then “life after kids” - and that isn’t an easy transition, and can be a bitter pill. Three of my kids are “adults” now. No regrets. Usually. Lol.

I think tho now i know for me personally (as an old twitter stan haha) it’s cool coming back to you and seeing how much you have grown. Even if we twitter stans have moved on from having a fan account (i know for me it’s just way to hard to run one with uni) i think we will always remember you and how much influence you had on us (even if it was your past you) also I went on antidepressants too! love that for us 😌 OH ALSO one could argue that even tho your channel isn’t as big as it used to be it’s doing better than many other “older generation” youtubers and it’s really cool that you still upload regularly and are still connected to youtube.

[@abbylynne9798]

I don’t know if you’ll see this, but if you do I just want to let you know that I kind of re-found your channel earlier this year when I was at a really uncertain point and it has been such a comfort since then. I had just moved to France for what was supposed to be a semester abroad and I was terrified alone in my hotel room in a country whose language I didn’t speak as well as I thought absolutely jetlagged. So when I couldn’t sleep throughout the night I just went through and watched your latest videos that I had missed and they made me laugh. Which is what I needed so desperately. So thank you very much! for providing comfort then and through this ridiculous year ❤️

[@HelloDollies]

As a mom of two very wanted kids, I’m glad you are mature enough to realize that (right now) it’s not for you. So many people have kids thinking that it won’t change things too much. It changes everything. And if you like your life the way it is right now (with your budget and how you spend your time), then kids aren’t for you. If in the future your priorities change, then I hope you are able to do that. Too many people go into parenthood without realizing it’s a lifelong commitment.

[@spyduhgirl]

As a parent of two, I think you're right! I knew with every fibre of my being that I needed to have two kids, I wanted them every day of my childhood and life until I had them both and I'm so happy. Having said that, since having my first I've said to all my friends if they're not 100% sure they want kids, they shouldn't feel any pressure to have them. I give mine so much of my time, effort, energy and yes some money but they just take up so much of my mind. Anyway.. a long drawn out way to say, you do you boo. Don't want kids, don't have kids 👍

hey! I just wanted to say i respect the hell out of you for talking about the medication you take and the fact that you do. I personally feel like medication has this huge stigma around it especially in dealing with mental heath. I have to take antidepressants and anti- anxiety medications (not to mention am about to start trying ADHD medication for the first time) and they are sometimes the only reason I can function and get up in the morning. One day, I know i can be better with my depression/anxiety through skill building but it’s been over a year and a lot of friends have insinuated that it’s bad that i take my meds. Anyway, the normalization of getting help is extremely important to me and it felt really nice to hear someone talk about their medicine without negative connotations:)

Thank you for talking about your mental health. I'm sure it feels some type of weird or scary. It really is so helpful.

What a mature and brave video. Thank you for your honesty. I've always seen you as a strong and unbothered person, so it was quite surprising to hear all of these horrible things you've been through. Thank you for the reminder that even strong people go through suffering. Please keep being politically active if that brings you joy in life - the right people will keep cheering you on as long as you're pursuing your happiness
