W Ben for using his platform to talk abt Palestine

[@thetiredsoup2528]

also thank you for standing on the right side of history and using your platform to talk about the g-n-c-de with no subtleness or need for audience pressure, means a lot especially to the arab and palestinian group of ur audience!! love u sm 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Yesss

[@KimDokja-fs3pe]

yeah! (although if creators dont want to its not at all on them to do so) but im so glsd ben did!

[@benitaoftheweek]

no but fr whats the difference between influencer and celebrity

[@fromtheblackplagueinfecteddark]

there isnt one

[@adamjyuken3449]

There is none

[@elonmusksrosetoy]

id say that influencers are more social media based and celebs are like professional entertainment people. personally, i think there's a very big difference between influencer and celebrity, i mean if you compare some one like tom cruise to charli dmelio then it's obvious who's more esteemed. typically celebrities have to go through much higher stakes in order to reach their level of success which is rewarded with fame and the stereotypical lavish life style. anyone can literally become an influencer and it could literally take a 15 second tiktok for you to go viral, whereas celebrities that had to start from the bottom like daniel craig and madonna actually worked for their life and went through many struggles- madonna used to work at a dunkin donuts before she got fired for accidentally getting jelly on a customer!! i think the work and effort that you have to put in whilst being a celebrity is also so much more different than filming yourself on a phone and posting the clips onto social media, so yh

[@maripettersen2057]

Influencers job is to influence you, and a celebrity’s job is to be known and use their talent for a job. I’m not really sure tho, but that’s what I’ve learned😭

The difference between influencers and celebrity's, celebrity's are way more well known than influencers who are only popular on social media, if there not, that means they aren't actual ''influencers'' (thanks for listening to my yapping lesson

[@mars_bar.]

Drama: I have a bsf that I've been friends w/ since kindergarten and we made a trio w/ a new friend the start of the school year. Our new friend has a bf that is EXTREMELY TOXIC to me and my bsf and has made fun of us multiple times. We keep telling her that he's not a good person and she always sides w/ him. What should we do? :/

[@dalana7381]

DRAMA: (i apologize for submitting this so much) my friend gets mad if you talk to her past crushes, but she started dating someone i liked. she's had a crush on every person i've liked for four years. now, i like someone she used to like-should i tell her, should i not or just drop her?

[@s0p4iara]

tbhhhh js don’t tell her and like slowly distance yourself i wouldn’t say drop her right away. some things are better left unsaid so this is one of those things you shouldn’t tell her 🤷‍♀️

[@Ilovesnoopydog]

Drama: Sooo latley i have noticed my friends have been getting closer but i havent. I have been getting left out for about 2 years now and idk what to do. I have told them twice about me feeling left out. Nothing. Like today they went to a store together and didnt invite me. They talked about it infront of me. As they were walking to the store i just walked home. No one noticed. (Also there is like 7 people in that group but its mainly 3 or them). I would leave and find better friends.. but 1 they are good people and i dont think they notice, 2 there are no other people i can go to.❤ Thanks ben!

[@fromtheblackplagueinfecteddark]

Maybe you should arrange something, and only invite the people that make you feel the least left out, and talk about it infront of the others and see what they say, just like they talked about it infront of you.

[@Loveme2much]

WAKE UP MAMAS! BEN POSTED!

[@adzdrawss]

drama time!!: my friend is kinda becoming dismissive of me. ex.: she tries to reassure me but she’ll just say “you’re fine” even if i’m not feeling fine at all and ends it there. it makes me feel really bad. she’s also super hard to read and i can’t tell what she means ever. she tells me she likes me but i’m really scared she is getting annoyed of me. i do love her so much but it’s becoming complicated. help me 💀

[@Chlosocute]

My drama: (tryna keep it short) This person (and some of their friends) has been bullying me (calling me stinky, and fat and ugly) multiple months now, I’ve told the office and they haven’t done anything and I don’t want to get myself in trouble. Most ppl in my class laugh at the insults and I can’t help but cry and it’s really embarrassing, because they know it’s affecting me. Idk what to do More context (dont need to read) Ppl have told me that they are probably jealous of me because I’m not ugly or fat or smelly, plus I’m an easy target since ppl know I’m insecure. But they also might be insecure because they have sh scars and they are trans and my school can be pretty homophobic but idk why they are targeting me because I haven’t been mean to them since elementary school which was so long ago

hey ben my drama is that my bsf of 2 years was getting rly close and would continue to exclude me w this person who would shit talk me constantly, she promised SHE wanted to cut them off (i constantly reminded her that i wasn’t pressuring). i eventually cut the bsf off bc lots of other reasons but that was the thing that crossed the line. she got rly mad n told me the world didn’t revolve around me.

[@huxbricks821]

Thanks for making these podcasts Ben! I always watch them when I'm taking the train to my school and it really helps making me feel less alone and more confident.

YAPPING BEN IS BACKK

[@_Meowsers_]

Drama: My friend recently broke up with their ex, and he’s been harassing her ever since. He’s super toxic too, whenever someone stops being friends with him or breaks up with him, he threatens to k/ll himself, he literally threatened to dox us on multiple occasions. We’ve been trying to get him off our back since forever now, and when he finally told us, he was going to leave us alone. He comes back on a new account just to harass them? I’m so sick of him.. I don’t even know what to do so help would be very appreciated.

Like I'm actually concerned for her, cause she has absolutely insane mood swings and she'll constantly belittles and hurts me and our friends. If she doesnt get her way she just stops talking to you and if you get upset with her for something she refuses to talk to you. WTF do I do cause we got like hella mutual friends so I cant just ditch her.

an influencer is someone who gets popular off social media and a celebrity is a musical artist or an actor/actress!

[@jellyfishhsss]

I have drama!! So, I'm in a trio, but they don't talk to me a lot, they make fun of my interests, they have inside jokes and introduce each other to their friends without telling me, and they invite their crushes places and don't invite me but I have no other friends. What do I do??? I was contemplating moving schools but is that a valid idea????

[@cheesecake6870]

Drama: My friend and I have that sort of playful back and forth insult thing that everyone does, and I don't mind it one bit, since I know she's joking. However, one day this week I was having a very bad day and I told her not to make those jokes with me because I knew that I would take them personally, even if she didn't mean what she said, but she went against what I asked and, when I confronted her today, she doubled down and started to say, in a playful way, that's MY fault SHE'S mean to me, instead of just apologizing. I won't let her move past this, and she's been ignoring me all day, and now I feel like a piece of shit for even being upset in the first place. What are your thoughts?

Hi Ben! I was asking for some advice and maybe I put too much, so I'll shorten it. I've been with this dude for a while and we both really love each other. He's starting to get distant with our friend group and I can't figure out why. I don't suspect cheating 'cause I'm close with his friends, and he doesn't talk to other girls.

And my best friend and I have been slipping away ever since. Like I'm happy for you but what about me? I feel forgotten and idk what to do.
