So true! Being yourself is embarrassing at first but it takes practice as well! And while you practice being yourself, you do all these silly things, but at some point you realise that it makes you so happy, that you don't even mind being silly and goofy and that it actually helped you to grow as a person! I think it helps to prepare yourself for new challenges as well where you will be so bad at something first, but you won't mind, because you are more confident and now know that's part of the process, and that you will kick some butts in the future!

TERRY NEEDS HIS OWN KZbin!!!

[@Hccai]

I completely agree! I tried out for basketball my freshman year of high school without knowing how to play!! I embarrassed myself like CRAZY during tryouts but I ended up making the team and learning so much. I didn't go back to it but the whole experience completely changed my attitude towards trying new things ---who cares if you make a fool out of yourself?! Just do it and you'll never regret it. It's better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than to stare at the line for the rest of your life.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Amazing message. Keep being you! And agreed - karaoke is the best time to be like "you know what? fuck it."

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

I was going to leave a really deep comment but that car segment has damaged my sides hahaha! 'Perfect practice makes perfect', I love that! X

[@exsaraoh3]

You really take everything that I feel I am struggling with on a subconscious level and make sense of it somehow. Thank you so much Cassie.

[@CloudyApples]

Sara Layla Much love to you

[@TheMuncher15]

Its so easy to fear embarrassment, but its what stops you from doing things you are passionate about. I love the video Kassie, I think sometimes we just need to jump in and embrace the the whole process, the good and the bad.

[@CloudyApples]

Ariana Banana Amen to that. My fear of embarrassment stunted my growth in so many ways for so many years. Time to stop caring and just give 'er!

[@maitesoto1953]

I sing like a dying cat and dance like a ghost's punching my guts but hey, I don't give a damn. I really really really suck at sports (especially voleyball even though I've been practising at school for years) and so on every PE class, while on a voleyball match, I dance. It's become quite a tradition and on the rare occasions I don't dance, even the teacher is surprised. I also sing Disney songs to my friends while hanging out at school. And since I don't care if I'm making a fool of myself, people either say nothing or say something to make me laugh, not to laugh at me. Parties are a whole different thing though- neither the music nor the amount of people help me feel comfortable although I can decide to give a damn and have a blast anyway. Guess what I meant with this overly long comment is that it's natural to be embarrased or to feel uncomfortable, but the truth is most of what you fear is only in your mind. If you let it go (let it go, can't hold it back anymore) you'll be able to do whatever you please, because you won't feel bad about it and people won't be able to use it against you

[@CloudyApples]

***** Hahaha omg you made me laugh, but what you said is so, so true. Btw, Do You Want To Build A Snowman? is the first song I sing at karaoke EVERY TIME haha!

[@maitesoto1953]

hahahaha! "Do you want to build a snowman?" is quite a hit song between my friends because they love how I copy a little girl's voice

[@CloudyApples]

***** I keep trying to get Terry to do Love is an Open Door with me. :P

[@maitesoto1953]

Get him to! You know how hard it is to sing both parts?? You've barely finished Anna's part and you've already missed half of Hans'!

[@kimberlygraef]

***** this made me laugh so hard because it's so true, haha! I'm totally in for seeing Kassie and Terry do Love is an Open Door.

you are the person I'm in awe at! always working on my confidence and skill. the passion is there :) great video

[@yellow5350]

You're always so incredibly inspirational, honestly wish there were more people like you around me, thank you for such a positive video.

[@21donuts]

dude honestly i love you and your channel, you have like the most perfect personality ever: hardworking (it seems like you take time on your videos), funny, not a tryhard or shallow, just idk youre great ily

[@AEreviews]

I have just discovered you, and the way you speak about common issues that a lot of people face on a day to day basis is amazing. Very clear and concise, I think that you are really inspiring a lot of people to learn to love themselves. That is something that we need, especially for this generation that is barraged with hateful things online 24/7. Keep it up, really amazing!

[@Onbetween]

I just discovered your channel and have binge watched all your videos (I'm not creepy I promise...) (Maybe a little bit) and I love how honest and raw your advice is and also the advice of someone who is "not there yet". I feel like sometimes giving advice "on the go" is even good for yourself because it is a revelation and you learn from it! Anyhow, I am rambling. Thank you for your amazing advice Kassie, I really needed this. x I

[@CloudyApples]

Isabel Valentine I appreciate that so much, thank you for taking the time to write me a comment!! I'm always a little skeptical of people who think they have it all figured out. I learn the most when I admit I don't know everything and ask questions :). Much love to you!!

[@Beemgee]

From what you've mentioned in several videos, Terry seems like someone that really contributes to your personal growth. Its cool that you have someone like that.

[@theivysparrow1]

Out of all of the youtubers I have followed since youtube began, you are by far the realist, most honest, most sincere, and absolutely the best and coolest out of them all. I really enjoy watching your videos because you always share a piece of your heart and manage to bring a genuine and valuable message to everyone based on your own experiences in life. I can honestly say that I look forward to your videos the most. Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us and may God Bless you and Terry. Lots of love, Victoria

[@tubaforeva]

I know I'm a bad singer but I sing anyway, all the time, because it makes me happy and helps me relieve stressful energy that my bloody exams are generating! And I love to be goofy and make a fool of myself like you and Terry were doing and sometimes people just look at me like, what are these strange actions you are doing with your body parts? I love taking myself not seriously because that's how my parents brought me up and that's what I'm comfortable with. And you know what Kassie? I was actually surprised at the beginning because you can actually sing miles better than me! If I try to hit those high notes I'd be turning people deaf! I'm glad you found a video worth uploading finally! Been waiting ages! ;)

[@CloudyApples]

tubaforeva I have a VERY high voice. Like Amy Lee high, but I'm so jealous of a good low voice, like Lana Del Rey. Check out this song by Beach House, she has my dream voice

[@tubaforeva]

***** Wow, she has a very low voice! I love voices like that too. It's a great song! =] Have you ever listened to Hurts? Check out their song Stay and Illuminated. =] Let me know if you like it!

[@linemadsen8957]

Hi just wanted to say I love your videos ☺ And you have opent my eyes to natural products . But also to look, at my self in another light 😊

[@angharadweeks9242]

Every time I think your videos can't get any better... they do. This is my favourite channel because watching your videos makes me feel better about life situations, and not because it's a distraction but because it brings clarity and positivity to them.

[@ohnowell]

I have had this problem for yeeeears. I wouldn't sing publicly, not even when my mom was around (she and I are very close) or just do what I wanted to do because I was scared for the reaction. When I discovered how stupid it was I slowly started to stop doing it and felt more and more like I was being myself. I'm still in the process, but it has gotten a lot better and it is an amazing feeling! High school is just hard because you don't really get to choose who is around you, but since I'm an 'adult' now you get that choice more.

[@ShadeyBangs]

Such a lovely message! I just want to pinch your cheeks - you're so pretty. "Don't mock the process!" Sounds so much better in your Canadian accent (than my English accent) but such a golden quote.

[@ReReChan]

"Don't mock the process!" Just like you, I get mocked when I try something for the first time and trying too hard and make people cringe. It makes me stop trying new things. And just like you, I also mock other people who try too hard. BUT... as I get older and care less about what other people have to be say, I'm more confident in doing my own thing but yeah... I still mock other people when I feel like they're trying too hard but now I realized that hey, at least they're trying! Putting on the effort can be looked as an embarrassing thing when you're young but when you're older, its commendable. Thanks for another inspirational video Kassie! I really love your videos. Its a very good self reminder.

[@melanieehart]

This really spoke to me because I'm so embarrassed and uncomfortable with other people reading my writing. I'm very passionate about it, but I don't like showing it to anyone because I'm afraid of judgement. I had to try and overcome that with an article I just wrote for a magazine, and I had to show it to a few friends for feedback. (luckily the response was really great, I'm getting published!). Thank you for another amazing advice video! I love how you're honest and not afraid to say "I don't know". I'm trying to get there myself

[@CloudyApples]

MakeupByM5 I guard my writing like it's a stolen pot of gold hahah, I totally get what you mean. So glad you've left your comfort zone and are being published! Yay!!!!

[@melanieehart]

***** Thank you!! ^-^

[@Roscia1]

This really resonates with me, because I struggled as an undergraduate music student surrounded by graduate level performers at my university who had years of skill beyond me. It took me four or five years to come out of that initial shell that had kept me from performing, when it was the act of performing that would make me stronger and more secure. I am now pursuing a doctorate in music, and no longer worry about those with superior skill. All it takes is hours of diligent, focused and INTELLIGENT practice, good health, and a positive attitude. I just got my first music job and though it's a small one, I never would have had the confidence six years ago to even apply. I now get to share what I've learned with my new students, and I hope to help them grow in ways I was too scared to try when I was their age!

[@cklald]

This speaks to me immensely, Kassie! I used to be so afraid of sharing my writing with other people because I was afraid of judgement, and that led to very little growth in my writing process. Once I started opening up and sharing my writing with my close friends, I realized it wasn't that bad after all! I was able to develop my skills and focus on better ideas, and I have improved so much ever since I released my inhibitions. I guess it's true that we should not "mock the process" as Terry said, because practice and "the process" help us to grow and develop. Amazing video!

[@diannerbannaner]

This is so true. I recognise in myself that when I'm not critical or hateful on other peoples learning processes, I become far more confident to openly & publicly try new things or things I'm not so good at. For example, joining a girls soccer team Jr year of highschool with no prior experience. I'm not terribly great at sports but I really enjoy learning them & playing them. I love my teammates. They were a hoot & were all ridiculously encouraging to me. Such a good experience. Live. Take risks. Just be kind & don't endanger people.

[@LanaLeStrange]

Great message! Definitely favoriting this one so I can constantly come back to watch it

My husband and I are like that and we live around people that are very self conscious and, I think, are overly self aware (I believe there are degrees of self awareness). It's extremely refreshing to see funny and unique people. You guys stand out to me. Never lose that!! I love your channel and I love what you stand for. Sing ya heart out, lady!

[@Belle90029]

I love how genuine and down to earth you are! I hate it when ppl overcompensate or try to put on an act. Thanks for being you and for just being real.

[@gisellejose]

Hi Kassie! I just want to say thank you for this video. It came at the right time. Yesterday, I had to go through the difficult experience of having a paper of mine critiqued by my peers. Even though the criticism was constructive, it took all of my willpower to take every comment with a smile. I was completely devastated after and I had a breakdown of sorts. Your video reminded me that it was the first time I had even ever tried writing an academic paper of that caliber and even though I was overly ambitious and completely failed at it, I just have to pick myself up and keep revising it until it's perfect. It sucked being judged to my face and having to deal with negative comments on something I worked so hard for, but I realized I'm lucky to have people who were totally honest with me and just want me to keep improving. Thanks to you, I don't have to spend the entire weekend sulking! Persistence is key ;) Much love!

[@FrivolousGirl]

Even though I love to sing and write songs, I didn't either sing in front of anybody until I met my boyfriend four years ago. We both don't have the best singing voices ;P, but I remember the awesome feeling of just being able to let go and be comfortable in someones presence enough to "perform". Singing and acting up is good for the soul, and shouldn't be only for the privileged with the "talents". After meeting my boyfriend, who's a lot like me, it made me more lose in showing my inner child public a lot more than I used to. I always envied those girls in school before... I loved Terry's saying "Don't mock the process" :D I will remember that!

[@SorayyaAminian]

I sang My Heart Will Go On in front of the whole school in 3rd grade. Probably not my finest moment, but hey, props to my younger self for be courageous! Sometimes I look back at that little girl and am inspired to not let fear get in the way so often. Great video.

[@CloudyApples]

Sorayya Aminian That's a HARD song! I would've wanted to be friends with your courageous ass so bad! I miss being a fearless child :)

[@nianai23]

I went to karaoke three times, and when my turn came - pure silence. Due to medical conditions, my voice is very small. So I can't sing but I can talk at least. I'm so glad to see you share your old dream with us here. Your voice is always a charm to hear for me - talking, singing or singing in those funny car rides. I am so grateful to you for sharing a new video today. Thank you.

[@fiona3718]

Kassie offers so much of what I can't find with other beauty bloggers. The honest, reflective concepts that everyone can relate to is so refreshing and well needed. Thankyou for being real Kassie :)

[@christinalennartz1008]

Kassie, I am right in there with you. My own mother told me I didn't have the best voice when I was 8 and it totally crushed my confidence. This sounds terrible but I assume she had a bad day and wasn't in the mood to listen to little me sing what not of a terrible tune that was popular back then... Only in these past 2 weeks have I started singing again and yes, my confidence is still down and my voice is probably not the best and rusty but I won't let that worry and stress get in my way of expressing myself and having fun because that is what it is all about. Good timing on your part - this video feeds my soul. And you and Terry's dancing is LEGIT. Much love and thanks for being such an amazing role model and inspiration

[@agoule01]

it's really true that believing bad things about yourself is a self-fulfilling prophecy. but, i'm learning that deciding to believe you're good at something or you are capable of being the person you want to be is just as powerful

[@fatimagomes2981]

that "everybody has passion, but skill is the hard part. It takes work" make so sense to me that I immediately wrote that on my agenda so I remember about it when I'm like "I'm so bad at this". Thank you for your words and for all the videos that you already made. It teaches me a lot. (yes, I have seen them all. What a weirdo (: )

[@CloudyApples]

Fatima Gomes Everyone sucks at first! I can't even watch my old KZbin videos because I cringe at how awkward and weird I was. It's all part of the process!! Much love to you!

[@joyitadarling5815]

[@livingincircles414]

Such a brilliant message spoken so eloquently. I've always been afraid of being passionate about things because people have always said that it's 'weird'. A 15 year old girl interested in philosophy and psychology doesn't always go down well with peers. I'm hopeful, though, that I can find people who accept this aspect of me eventually :) thank you Kassie, as always. Love you

[@sarahbear892]

I think you can only gain confidence once you accept that you don't know everything--you stop pretending and start being yourself. I think that's pretty brave! I almost enjoy those awkward or embarrassing moments now, because I know I'm learning, and that's awesome.

[@awkward2morrow843]

Omg! This was so timely!! Loved this video! For so many years I've sat on the bench on events and activities all because I cared what others thought! It took me a while to realize that you can't please everyone nor should you try! It really just shows a persons insecurity when they feel a need to down play a persons effort to put themselves out there. It takes more to put yourself out there, but it's so easy to put someone down. Thanks Kassie for the reminder!☁️🍎

[@Raveena260]

Your videos always come when I need them Kassie! I've been learning to drive and I'm not the best driver, so I kind of stopped driving completely. I just don't like it when the person beside me is critiquing me. I told my dad that today and he said that's biggest problem and I'll never learn. That really hurt and made me feel like I wasn't good enough but this video made me realize that it's okay if I'm not perfect at something right away. Thank you so much you have no idea how much you helped ❤️

[@annaweis661]

Hey Kassie, I just wanted to tell you your videos really helped me when I was in my early 20s this is especially true for this one so sometimes I like to come back after all these years. Thank you for sharing these moments with us.💛

[@sopranosaurusrex]

I teach choir. Getting kids to absorb the idea that no one is born a great singer is very difficult. The idea of "natural talent" prevails and it's hard to keep kids interested up to the point that they see themselves making progress. Especially in an activity as personal and vulnerable as singing, it's really hard to go "all in", as you say. I try to model this behavior for them, and then address the uncomfortable giggles with "I don't mind if you laugh at me! It's ok to be uncomfortable! It's not ok not to try." I have no shame when it comes to trying new things, looking silly and giving it all I've got. But that was a learned behavior for me. So I'm showing this video in my classes this week. Thanks for making this.

[@nadiacpu2]

I think it takes tremendous courage to be yourself, if you have hidden away for most of your life, that uncomfortableness is like a plant growing, pushing and changing, I think being yourself can start with baby steps amongst people that you trust, until you build your confidence (and talent in being yourself) to do so around everyone irrespective of their views. tx for a great video (as ALWAYS) and awesome dance routine, love and light, x

[@TehRiceCake]

you always have such good timing, cassie! i was actually just playing guitar and my dad asked me to sing the song, but i felt embarrassed to. i did it anyways, and just tried to do my best! but you're right - it's alright to be bad at something at first if you work at it! because that's just part of the process :) thanks for always being so down to earth

I agree. I think with the prevalence of social media people try to be like other people and are afraid to be themselves because they are afraid people will mock them.

This video really speaks to me. My anxiety has prevented me from stepping out of my comfort zone and pushing my boundaries.

[@sneakystef]

I feel like that most of these videos are part of an ongoing cathartic process of ridding the judgement you place on yourself that ends up manifesting as being judgmental on others. (Ie the lolling at terry and comments made about people you judged in other videos). Its good to realise this- acknowledgement is the first step towards changing something negative into a positive :) . Anyway I hope you go easy on yourself and care less about what others are doing around you and just focus on being happy with where you are!

Your videos always make me smile. But more importantly, they make me think. Your honesty is so refreshing. 😊

You are always so thoughtful and funny, I really REALLY love your videos :) You bring strong and positive messages & thank you for that. I think it's easy for me to be the harshest mocker of my own process.. I never thought of myself that way but it's true & now that I am aware, I can catch myself ya know? :D This video was awesome

I really understand disses problem ;w; I'm on a hip hop team at my school and I love to dance but it's embarrassing at the same time. When blocking who goes where in a piece I really want to show my captains all that I got but when the rest of my team is watching me, especially when some people are more talented than me, it's really hard to give it all that I got. Thank you for making this video

I love the "no perfect practice, " quote, and it's become my finals mantra.
