Everyone always says talk to someone, but a depressed person thinks they're a burden already. If you're NOT depressed, check on your people. You never know if they need you til you ask

[@benthosundercover7916]

tbh 4 me my oulet when im having so many thoughts is just summing upo stuff and writing it in my ideas for art notes thoes end up being my best ideas Too and also just posting my thoughts on twitter and sometimes even writing Poem/raps or wtv u wanna call it Poetic Thoughts lol

[@superdude7445]

you are an absolute legend, thats exactly it , i dont want advice, i dont want pity or for you to treat me different, just waiting for one person to be able to be around who is okay with the saddness, they are there for you, no matter the mood

[@kingroman9538]

People always say talk to someone but when someone talks to them they tell them to pray, or think positive or be strong. Instead of actually just listening people don't actual know how to respond to a person in pain

[@thedarkestkinghtstar]

@@kingroman9538 I think that's why we need to work on asking "do you want advice, or do you need me to just listen?" I know I need to work on this, but I've noticed when I manage to remember to ask the conversation goes better. I like to help and want to solve problems. The times I remembered to ask it was they needed me to just listen. When I did that, it felt more "resolved" though that's not the right word. I guess, when compared to when I forget and try to "help" and it becomes an argument, or we get upset, it's better when I ask which they need. When I do the one they need they often seem more relaxed after our conversation and a bit happier or at least not miserable anymore.

[@robertwylder3100]

Big respect on telling us about your past and how it relates to this song. Someone told me after my mum died that has rung true "you will never know how strong you are until being strong is the only thing you have" another great reaction bro keep it up

[@Wish-es]

I’m someone who grew up in a shit place I’m New York, this song made me cry a lot. Thank you for making this video and showing me I’m not alone, other ppl feel the same. Respect and love

[@iulia.bianca.b]

It's not that suicidal people don't think about the people who love them, it's more that they are almost 100% sure they are not really loved, and people don't really understand what they're going through, or don't care enough, so they feel alone and misunderstood, and like Joyner says in the song, they feel like the world would be better off without them. It might be super wrong, but the feeling is so strong in those moments, that they really believe it. Trust me, I've been there..

[@Sympanet]

Suicide is one selfish act after a long long period of selflessness during which a person is suffering unimaginably for everyone around them. It may be selfish, but you have to consider all the time when the person has shouldered that burden alone.

[@SonofMars77]

True. And you can always flip it back to the people wanting to keep you around as being selfish. Someone suffers immeasurably so that people won’t get hurt by their absence. To me that sounds pretty selfish too.

[@beccaboo9960]

Do keep it 100!!

@@beccaboo9960 can confirm, it's a very solid choice, recommended it to him a while back too

[@brenrei]

Depression isnt always about outlying conditions like bullying, bi-polar disorder is a third crazy af, a third severe depression, a tenth normalcy, and the rest is a mix of 1 and 2 where it gets really dangerous

[@JBWinter]

My lowest points have been when my life was actually going better than ever, because faulty brain chemistry doesn't care about things like logic

[@beccaboo9960]

I believe it's his cousin not brother but I'm not 100% sure tho.

[@brenrei]

Correct

[@grimreaper3688]

I fully understand what it is like to feel block off from the world sometimes it seems no one can understand you and the ones who do make fun of you so I know what it like I grow up suicidal

[@benpamer6574]

Isn't it selfish to tell someone you love who has given up on life and has lost the will to live and is in misery every single day of their life that they have to suffer because you will be hurt over it. If someone no longer wants to live it's nobody's right to tell them otherwise.

[@shinriley]

It's not easy to seek help when depressed. I'm constantly depressed and had to find my own way of coping with it, but even that's not 100% effective (hence why I'm going through the reaction of this particular song). You can't go to a mental hospital or see a doctor because of the costs that are associated with it. You "may" feel better but then now you're in debt.

[@Rosspark100]

Yeah, mental health services need far more funding. I was assessed for ADHD at 24, and got diagnosed, but it had the surprise addition "with traits of emotionally unstable personality disorder". Because that's not a diagnosis all Iv ever got is a leaflet about BPD in the post. The full extent of my treatment was a prescription for amphetamine. I had gotten sober a couple years before this assessment but I used drugs as a coping mechanism. I started smoking weed daily at like 16 and I honestly think it helped to manage my emotional issues... but I was always broke af because all my money went on buying weed. My friend group then progressed to doing mandy, ket, and psychedelics, which definitely got risky at times because we were stupid teenagers... but coke changed everything. Eventually I was sniffing at least an 8ball every weekend. I hit rock bottom after I Overdosed on speed and morphine directly into the bloodstream. So I stopped everything, I still dont drink till this day. Anyway, I was okay with the amphetamine meds at first but over time I started falling into old habits and my self-discipline slowly started to erode. Eventually my pill usage resembled my coke usage of binging and soon I was in a cycle of taking a months worth of pills in a couple weeks and then going through withdrawal. Then I ended up going full off the track together and just buying shit loads of extra amphetamine. I had once again lost control and I relapsed into self harming with a razor blade which I hadnt done in a long long time. I realised I needed help and the mental health team I was under that has assessed me for ADHD had given me a number for exactly this kind of situation. I called them twice after 2 nasty events of cutting myself... both times I was told they would call me back the next day. They never called me back.

[@AhmedAli-bl2ug]

You should also react to Love yourz by j Cole, it’s a very deep song that really gets you thinking about life with a great overall message. I love your reactions and u da 🐐. Also crazy how you haven’t reacted to I’m not racist by Joyner yet

[@BryceWX]

it was his cousin, not his brother, but i can see why yall thought that, im a huge huge fan of joyner

[@XIX00]

Where is this coming from that the song is about his cousin?? Thats absoloutely not true. Go and watch the creators cut interview to this song!

[@needfree7086]

this is a song about his cousin's death

[@XIX00]

Not true

[@lea15469]

I think suicide is, in a way selfish, because you are passing your pain on to others, but its also selfish of others to make a person actually want to kill themselves. It’s def a tough topic to debate and converse about but I would never want to make anyone feel like they shouldn’t be here from saying/doing something. Most people don’t think about their words or actions and how it can affect someone so deeply. But anyways great reaction video! 👍🏼 I like the fact you guys actually discuss and dissect the lyrics and video!

[@Avalant02]

I will preface this by saying I agree with what you said about thinking of someone else can prevent you from committing suicide, I know it has. However I cannot agree with the statement that it is a selfish act or with your analogy for that matter. Everyone wants to prevent pain, in one form or another, its not giving up to try to stop it. That's in a small way like telling someone that taking pain killers is them giving up on fighting through the pain that they are going through. Anyone who reaches that point did not do so quickly. Its a long road of feeling and pushing yourself through another day, of trying something different and getting the same results, of trapping yourself within yourself because you don't think anyone would understand if they saw the you that you are hiding behind smiles or "weird" behavior, laughs and jokes and...its a long road of pretending to be the person you wish you were but can't be because of who you are inside. Consequently what drives you to that point is the very act of trying to talk to someone about it. Half the time they don't have time and the other half they are trying to give you advice from their perspective without actually listening to what you are saying. The courage it takes to build yourself up to actually speak to someone is tremendous and when you get hit with the generic advice or non-committal cheering up or worse the "I'm really busy right now, can we talk about this another time?" shtick. Its at that moment that you are the closest you will ever be to a noose of a bullet. It takes a LOT for them to come forward and speak openly about it because to them the only one responsible for their pain is themselves. This is usually not the case but all that self-loathing, anger, doubt, hate and blame is never directed externally. More often that not, there are signs, hints and clues that someone going through mental and emotional pain will give you, but the fear they feel at opening up is the biggest barrier they have to overcome. So for me it ca never be something I will classify as selfish. If it takes that drastic act to make you actually realize the depth of the pain someone is going through then how can you even say that what they did is selfish? How can you say that you are the one feeling the pain after they are gone if when they were alive you were oblivious to the burdens they carried with them. That's just adding blame onto someone who is already blaming themselves .

[@haha9121]

I think the biggest misconception with suicide is that we don’t care or we don’t think about the people that were living behind and the fact is we do think about the people will you be home extensively and that’s why it’s not easy as fuck at home because despite of all that what you feel is I can’t explain

[@Dark2Lite]

Man like Stu sounds like a sophisticated Charlie Sloth ffs

[@SpiritSeeker]

im thinking it might be a friend because if it was a family member he would have said our family in the chorus instead of tell my family its okay I'm sorry, give or take i might be wrong

[@itschris5938]

I know I'm late but that priest is joyners uncle and the guy who committed suicide is his friend and the also donated the casket to someone who needed it

[@thedarkestkinghtstar]

As someone who has struggled with suicidal thoughts, yes, it's selfish. BUT I think it's also selfish to be "entitled" to another's life. It's honestly my belief that no parent should have to bury their kid. It's unavoidable sometimes but those are things "I" can't control. I can control if I kill myself or not though. Many a dark night I imagined what my funeral would look like because I believe I'd see it. I'm not exactly religious but I do believe in an afterlife. And imaging my mom's face, her anguish. My dad's absolute anger. Not at me but he'd be so upset that the only way he'd know how to deal with it would be anger before a total breakdown. Just thinking about it now makes me cry and, honestly, it scares me the day it doesn't make me cry. I don't think it'll ever get to that though because there are more than my parent's I can't handle seeing destroyed because of me.

[@leif-eriksmevoll7659]

Joyner lost his cousin to suicide. i think that's the story behind the song

[@XIX00]

No theres an interview of him about this song. He said that he never been through this with his family. He lost some friends but not his cousin. And the reason for this song was cause so many people were hitting him up on social media, telling him what they are going through

[@SomeOne-ex7hk]

Selfish is seeing someone so down they killed themselves, and blaming them for it and calling THEM selfish. Its hypocritical. You're selfish if that's your view. You werent able to help them, they couldnt handle it anymore and you lost them. then you blame them for it, and focus on how it makes -you- feel and now how they felt, thus calling them selfish because it affected you. Its not your responsibility to "save" them sure, but anyone who calls a victim selfish is just fucking sick. "You arent thinking of others" thats not hte right mentality to have. Suicidal people think about the people around them a lot. And its not like they dont consider that. Its just that its so hard for them, the balance of it all no longer matters. Stop treating suicidal people as selfish and thoughtless. People arent stupid, they know when the people they care about treat them as off and crazy and the same people who say thoughtless things to them while they are searching for an answer, are the same ones who go "Oh I didnt know!". You didnt know, because you made it impossible to speak to you about it.

[@StuReacts]

Nah, I 've had death around me and I've lived a harder life at a young age than you could imagine, I had PTSD by the time I was 8 years old, trust me if there is anyone who can speak on getting through the worst life can throw at you, it's me, to escape the pain is selfish, I faced up to shit that people committed suicide over because if I did that, everyone around me would be in pain and I wouldn't, if I did do that, I'd be passing pain to everyone else... selfish.

[@itsbarzzgaming5482]

@@StuReacts what life have you lived buddy? Cuz im 14K triad, ive watched friends get shot and bleed out beside me, ive been shot, stabbed, tortured, tased, pepper sprayed, shot with bean bags, hit with tear gas from swat, been to prison, delt with my ex committing suicide and bleeding out in my arms. Ive delt with being bullied, an alcoholic abussive father who beat the shit out of me till i was put in group homes, I have severe PTSD, and depression.. suicide isnt selfish, you are selfish for blaming them for trying and then feeling so broken that they cant so it anymore..

[@itsbarzzgaming5482]

You disagree? Drop an addy we can settle it in person..

[@jessicacooley9781]

Joyner Lucas lost his cousin to suicide this video isn't about Joyner Lucas feeling suicidal and depressed his cousin felt this way before he died

[@gelle81]

it is as selfish to commit suiced, as it is for the people around the person who wants to commit suicide. To just want to have him alive for their sake no matter how the person that want to commit suicide are feeling both mentally and physically, and the people left behind can never know that 100% (hope it made sence english is not my first language)

[@possibear]

Also to say your not thinking about other people are you in my opinion is only 90% correct, Some times people like they are such a bother that the only good they can do in the world is to leave, and while yes you probably are wrong none the less you are thinking of other people even as wrong as you may be.

[@itsbarzzgaming5482]

Okay.. so ima argue on this topic real quick.. suicide is not the easy way out.. suicide goes against every part of every humans instincts.. so when you sit there and say its the easy way up, you clearly have never been depressed.. for example.. depression has more physical symptoms than you would probably think, for instance.. you have the points where its hard to breathe.. like really hard to breathe.. you have the points where your body feels heavy.. where its hard to text.. where you cant do anything.. dont get me wrong im not advocating for suicide.. but as someone who has struggled with depression daily for 20 years (my first suicide attempt i was 5, i turn 25 on the 7th of may) i know first hand how hard it is to keep fighting.. so sitting there and saying its the easy way out.. thats a lie, its easy to talk to people about it.. and most people who get to that point have tried to talk.. my mom? Shes a doctor.. ive called her when i was suicidal and begged for help, she was busy in the er working.. she said “ill stop by in 2 hours” and within an hour i was in the er, getting my stomach pumped.. so when you say that its the easy way out.. you have no fucking idea how fucking hard it is to keep going.. and while i see your point on why you coukd see it as selfish.. you need to understand when people feel like they are trapped in a prison in there own mind, when they feel so much emotional pain that it starts manifesting in physical symptoms.. and when you cant function and have tried it the doctors way for years upon years.. and it doesnt get better.. its more selfish to ask someone to suffer and deal with it.. i have suffered daily for 20 years.. and if i would have died at age 5 sure everyone would have felt the pain, but after 20 years they wouldnt be feeling it daily.. the grief would pass.. you are asking someone to suffer, to endure a pain worse than you can imagine.. another example is ive been tortured, stabbed, shot.. and none of those have been even close in comparison to the pain of depression so no offense but you are selfish for calling others weak or taking the easy way out for committing suicide.. its hard to go theu with it, but sometimes people aint got a choice but t do it..

[@possibear]

I thinks it's selfish to kill your self and to tell someone that they shouldnt
