i feel like the little tangents you go on are like the fleeting moments you’re spending with someone you know you might not see again for a long time and they have to leave soon so everything that happens that isn’t involved with the main point is like a procrastination of the inevitable end of the video or the leaving of the metaphorical person

[@millyess247]

when i was anorexic and i lost over 50lbs, people would tell me i looked so much better, healthier, and prettier. i was, in fact, not healthy whatsoever and those compliments actually made my disease so much worse. society tells us that being skinny is healthy no matter what is actually going on inside the body. so yes Drew i understand you.

[@PaigeMcKenzie1]

you’re genuinely one of the funniest and most insightful people on this platform

[@SpecialBlanket]

absolutely.

[@wahxoxo98]

When I lost weight I absolutely hated people commenting about how good I looked. It was always super uncomfortable for me and made me feel like they were throwing shade at how I used to look. Just because someone means well doesn’t mean you can’t feel a certain way about it. Being perceived is annoying.

[@lucianacaserta9563]

people shouldn't comment on other bodies period

[@jamieiguess4757]

yeah, it solidifies all these fears you’ve always had of people only finding you attractive, worthy of respect and attention when you’re thin(ner). it’s awful and made me feel worse than when I was still really overweight

[@genericname8727]

Yeah, when I lost a lot of weight it was deliberately for health reasons. I’d never had an issue with how I looked. But people started saying “wow, you look so beautiful”. I think I just started saying “so I didn’t before?” or something because it started to just feel really disrespectful after a while.

I got people saying that too. I also had a lot of people who were envious and said things like "you think maybe you have an eating disorder" lol no I don't Karen. I'm actually eating more than I did when I was overweight and I'm working out everyday because I'm healthy fuck outta here with that. Those comments caused me to actually slip into binging because id get depressed and think "well I might as well stuff my face cuz that's obviously what people want from me to always be fat so they can feel better about themselves" sigh...

It’s ok to feel weird about the back handed compliments. I am a trans guy, and the second I started looking more masculine suddenly I was this “hot guy” that nobody ever noticed before, and it feels like you can’t accept the compliment because it’s so shallow and conditional.

[@allisonolivieri1693]

Every time he says “you get it”, my brain is eagerly nodding along like YOU BET YOUR ASS I DO. 😂

[@dedoubecool]

I think it's nice to have the 2 distinct channels. A lot of people wouldn't be curious to click on the video that has no apparent "concept" or doesn't follow a certain template... And in the end they would stop watching anything on your channel because they'd never know what to expect. Keep the "just talking" video to us who are just interested in whatever you put out, and the more formated videos for a channel that you want to grow. I hope this make sense English is my second language and I feel like I definitely didn't use the most adequate words there. I'm also H.I.G.H so yeah.

[@BobbyKakouris]

I am a british person who will support your british boy in speaking more accurately in a british accent FOR FREE.

Some people lack self awareness and think it’s a compliment however it does sting when we hear stuff like that. I had a new boyfriend and we were on our second date and the waitress came up and remembered me from high school and she said, “wow! You’ve lost soooo much weight!” I was so humiliated. Drew, I can’t speak for everyone but it could be possible that the “glow up” people are speaking of doesn’t revolve around your weight at all and just that you have grown into yourself. I think you have always been handsome and I wish that you find it within yourself to discard comments that don’t feed your soul. I wish you comfort and security knowing that your body is your own and has brought you safely thus far on your journey through life. You are loved, valued, and are so much more than a physical appearance or persona on KZbin. You bring joy to people. What a true gift you have. People- please heed this advice: If someone can’t change it within 5 minutes, you should not make a comment about it.

[@TheLibs]

also, you’re always attractive. people project their fatphobia and it comes out in the form of a conditional compliment. pay no attention to the timing of when those people decide to share what they think. you’re always attractive.

I don’t think it’s that. Sometimes it’s the way he does his hair or his facial hair. On Shane’s channel I loves him but was never really “attracted” to him also bc I was a minor and I knew he was an adult but now that I’m 23 and not 14 drew is very handsome I also think his personality plays a part as well.

[@kerinegan7041]

you don’t have to apologize for these feelings at all! i remember when i had an eating disorder i suddenly started getting compliments from my family and people telling me “keep doing what you’re doing!” I think it’s our responsibility as friends and family to others to not comment on weight loss/gain at all. it’s never helpful and usually harmful.

[@rloach067]

i know this is 3 months old but this is so true! i gained weight because a doctor told me to and it was so hard for me and i was really proud so i mentioned it at a family dinner because i was happy my digestive issues were gone now and a family member said "oh yeah you even look a bit fat now!!" and that triggered my eating disorder and now i am struggling to go back to a healthy weight again 😔

I've been going through this era where I'm like painfully self aware and able to see everyone's perspective all at once, so it's very hard to form opinions and makes me sort of feel like I have no personality anymore - ANYWAY, because of this, your new content has really been hitting home. My husband and I are custodians who just travel from place to place to clean and I put these on for the drives and it has been super relatable and healing to hear you experiencing (what I assume at least) is the same thing in real time. Makes me feel like there's a bigger phenomenon happening if other people feel this way too and can articulate it. Hope that made sense. Love ya Drew. ✌

I grew up with gastrointestinal problems that made it damned near impossible to get hungry, and people/friends/family would tell me I looked amazing all the time. Really fucked when people are telling you that your health problems make you more attractive. Also, i'm a high-functioning aspie, so reading/hearing those things socially was always really hard, because I would strip every meaning of one sentence apart.

[@rachelmccullough8704]

30:13 Okay, so I know nobody is going to see this comment because this video is 2 years old and there’s almost 3K comments but as someone who worked as a sub and then had my own class, there are students that will pretend like they have to go to the bathroom to get out of class. Little kids like to play in the bathroom and older kids (usually 5th-8th grade) like to wonder the halls or do something they’re not supposed to like meet a friend somewhere in the school or vape in the bathroom. And the older kids like to say “that’s illegal. It’s illegal for you not to let us go to the bathroom.” 30:01 The more students you send to the bathroom, the more chances there are for them to get in trouble. It’s a liability thing. Sorry, I know this is a long comment but I just wanted to give a teacher’s perspective because they’re not telling kids they can’t go to the bathroom to be mean. There is a legitimate reason lol

I lost 100lbs in high school (I’m 27 now) through an eating disorder. Everyone told me how amazing I was. “You were ugly before, but it’s okay now because you’re skinny and beautiful” now that I’m in recovery and have gained the weight back I often think about those comments. I just think in general we should talk about peoples bodies. We can literally just say “you’re glowing today” or “you look happy” there are so many options.

[@lasantuzza777]

i love what you said about catching yourself saying negative things and putting a stop to it. i’ve been focusing on that a lot lately, especially in front of my son. the other day in the car i saw my hair was frizzy and i “jokingly” was about to say, “mommy’s hair is such a mess” but i caught myself and instead said, “mommy’s hair is so beautiful!” the crazy thing is it feels weird for us to say nice things to ourselves but that should be the standard. growing up, all i ever heard was my mom criticizing herself as well as me and others. that critical voice has always been my go to mode of thinking. i’ve always been so painfully hard on myself and after all these years it’s ravaged my body and soul. i don’t want that for my son. and i don’t want that for myself anymore, either

I personally really like the separation between channels. I can’t imagine what it’s like to have so many eyes on you, but it seems like a good idea to try and create a space with less of that pressure. As always I enjoyed this one :)

[@allyrae3344]

I love longer videos of someone just talking like these. I listen to them when I draw, drive, and cook. I first found your content in like middle school and now im in college. Its really nice to hear how youre doing lately. Im glad youre back and making videos.

[@bundeadly]

love the authenticity drew :) roach on poster at 14:00 tho

[@Coolandprettygirl13]

the janitor webcam story was good

[@Loh24158]

Currently just watching the first “boring” part of this and I’m engrossed in it. Been watching you for ages and this is exactly what I need. I live off of these videos

[@halli2196]

The last time I saw my grandma she said “did you lose weight?” And I was like “no” and she was like “oh you look like you did”. And it felt like an insult even though it probably was supposed to be compliment. Even though I’ve been feeling better about my body image, it made me spiral a bit. I guess it’s just weird when someone randomly talks about your body. I also kind of forget I have a body beyond my eye balls too.

[@imzabatch]

I feel you, I hardly think about my body either. I think it feels bad because I feel like it's an indication that people care what you look like much more than you do and to a much higher extent than anyone should and that doesn't feel good. I don't like to think the way I look is something people care about enough to comment on, and if it's to my face, there's the assumption that it's something I should care about as well.

[@Sarah-em5vf]

My grandma always says that!! it feels like my worth is defined by my weight then and reminds me that people who are seeing me again are looking for that. Plus then when I see her and she doesn’t say it I assume she thinks I look bigger. None of this should matter anyway I get it she means well

drew and the little british boy are giving me so much joy. I can’t stop laughing. 😭

[@ork7d624]

this style of content is genuinely my favorite. its so personable and comforting :) thank you drew

[@Audiophile979]

Drew, you're always so kind and empathic 💗 We all have people who hate us. You're a wonderful soul.

[@dallyowally]

Drew, honestly these videos are my favourite thing any artist has ever created. It’s in line with Inside by Bo Burnham being these masterful works of self awareness and introspection. You’re just so perfectly yourself and I adore you

hi drew i never comment but i want to let you know that videos like these help me so much. i've been watching you since highschool and i graduated college this year, but i still am drawn to your videos because they are so authentic and helped me feel less alone throughout all these years - even now. whenever i'm by myself i just love playing these in the background to listen to someone and not be isolated with my thoughts. my dog hates the voices of other people but when he hears your videos he falls asleep to your voice. thank you you're amazing

[@lance100]

Never felt more understood by another human being; gives me hope for my future, thank you Drew

[@zrae4389]

The vacuum story was my favourite because I have so many interactions similar to that, honestly I am convinced I'm in a social expirement or something sometimes.

[@itllpass55555]

Drew you’re my comfort person and I really appreciate these longer videos a lot so thank you for making them

[@jaynedavis3388]

I lost a lot of weight in 2020 because I was extremely ill. I understand the way that can mess with your head & apparently everyone who looses heaps of weight can get depressed afterwards. I just came from your livestream & I’m sorry you were struggling. Compliments aren’t a setup for an insult Drew, TRY to live in the moment because it’s less stressful than the alternatives. You’re always going to get bad comments but I suggest that you filter your comments section with the specific triggers for your mental health

[@limpnoodle7282]

i always talk back when i watch these like we’re having a conversation and i fear the day somebody walks in and interrupts, and i agree about your thoughts only being about what other people think, its such a bad habit but thank u for talking about it #solidarity

garrett watts made several videos with miss coco Peru 😭 she's a famous drag comedian - Garrett might have even filmed the tension tamer tea video

[@jessicaobrien6028]

As a Jessica that was literally the face I made when you said Jessican, felt oddly intimate

[@elithefrog9463]

your videos are always so calming to my brain. im constantly overthinking and beating myself up everything so being able to see someone talk exactly how i do in my own head makes me feel like im not alone. i love that youre catching yourself being mean to yourself and i love that youre able to talk about that kind of stuff with us. you've inspired me to start my own "journey to better self talk" in a sense? if im mean to myself i imagine you saying "no thats mean why do i do that" if it were you doing what i just did and then i try to be nicer and less harsh

[@newsundaymorning]

I would pay $30 a month to listen to these. We just love hearing how you are doing and appreciate all your jokes and since of humor.

[@SeanLearyMusic]

Can we all agree that "Timothy Sells Masks Now" was and is an absolute banger?

[@kkyaaas2636]

I’m so glad that someone else is as human as i am

[@willagrace23]

I really appreciate when you make a joke or something about yourself and then say like “nevermind I don’t mean that I need to be nicer to myself” or something along those lines. As someone who gets my humor from self deprecating jokes, I have started doing this and really love it. It actually makes me feel better about myself. 💖 Happy Holidays mummy! (That’s the little British boy)

[@tq8260]

i love being high during your videos i laugh, i cry, i discover things about myself. a true emotional rollercoaster

[@aluza3879]

Don’t worry, you can’t be boring! Your content is always funny and informative, basically entertainment at its finest. xx

[@Gerokero]

i loved the little memory/stories section

[@wambo5743]

Oof, the weight stuff I can relate to. I recently lost 100+ lbs, and it was a ride mentally. I've been overweight all my life, but I was having some health issues, so I decided to be healthier and stop using food as an emotional crutch to numb pain. Anyway, the way people treat you afterward is wild. Strangers start random conversations with you more, people look you in the eyes and are generally nicer to you, men gawk at you in a way that triggers your fight or flight, and EVERYONE and their dog wants to talk about how you did it/how good you look now/how they want to lose weight/your experience. I'm open to help people if they need it, but holy shit, the nosiness that radiates off of some people is a lot to take in. It makes you self conscious to do even the most basic things like having a meal in a public place. There's a part of me that just feels like people are picking me and my body apart in their minds, and I don't like it. Pick apart my ideas. I'm not just a walking sack of meat! Anyway, here's me venting and offering you some weight loss solidarity because I also know how shitty people can be if you express any negativity about it. Shit's not black and white.

[@alcohol7805]

This got to me. As a fat person who's always been fat and always will be its the most discouraging thing. I eat healthy, workout and go to the doctor regularly for check ups yet i still get disgusting comments about my weight and how I'm so unhealthy and need to lose it to be happy and it really makes you think. For me to lose weight I would literally have to starve myself and create an eating disorder yet I feel like people would almost rather me be skinny and dying than fat and healthy. The amount of times I've gotten the comment "wow you look so pretty....have you lost weight?" Like they can't even fathem the thought that maybe I'm just pretty, mind you I've be the same weight for like 4 years now and no matter what I doesn't change and I'm okay with that. Sorry for unloading all of this onto you, a random person in the comment section, but idk I I liked ur vibes and felt comfortable to express my feelings here

[@wildcardedits]

drew, ur feelings are super valid. i would struggle being in ur position pls don’t feel that u can’t express how you feel on here. i’m wishing you the ability to be comfortable and happy

[@d-191]

Drew’s videos make me feel so incredibly comfortable I’ve been going through something and I’ve been unable to do regular tasks but Drew’s videos always make me feel better and comforted i will always appreciate him for that we love u drew!:,)

[@averyjbyrd]

Feel you super hard on the “glow up” comments. I’ll refrain from commenting on your physical appearance, and instead tell you that I have loved your personality and comedic style from day one. I have been a pretty big fan for several years, and the only glow up I care about is you growing as a person 💖

[@harley8159]

i actually love watching ur videos bc I have ADHD so every time I get distracted ur already talking abt something else and I don't have to be confused abt what ur talking abt like ever

[@JeuneGal]

Drew you are so wonderful to listen to. I see a lot of comments like this, and it's so true: I feel like I'm hanging out with a really fun, good friend when I'm watching your videos. You are so captivating every time you talk, and I am just so grateful that you post these videos and share your deep thoughts. And also your hilarious comments and characters. Also, that thing you and your friend used to do about the farting in Twilight is hilarious ahahaha

[@asmruok513]

I have body dismorphia so when someone says I look so much better, all I can think about is how bad I feel about my appearance. Self image is so hard. Sometimes I think ppl shouldn't speak on appearance but then again I try to always compliment ppl so I'm a hypocrite. 🤷‍♀️

[@tess3000]

Noticing thoughts/feelings and approaching them with nonjudgmental curiosity is that best thing my therapist ever taught me!! It’s hard though, takes a lot of practice. These videos definitely help remind me to do it more often Edit: typo

[@idontwantayoutubename4787]

There’s a reason that I and so many other people still watch your videos after all of this time. Because we see parts of ourselves in you. You’re authentic. You’re honest. And the mental struggles you’ve been dealing with for most of your life are the same ones I and so many others face as well.. I can see that so clearly. Love you Drew. Things will always get better. And even if they don’t, you’ll be okay. You’ll still have days where you can take in the sunshine, breath in fresh air deeply and enjoy your life. It’ll all be okay ♥️

[@valeriegonzalez413]

I genuinely love hearing the little songs you make up, I would watch a whole video of you singing songs about whatever comes to your mind, they’re honestly so good
