I am a 5th Grade teacher and especially see many of my 5th Grade Boys struggling... I have so many that can relate to you, Lewis. Have you ever thought about writing a smaller chapter book (autobiography) that would be more attuned to a 5th Grade Boy? I think it would be great! Something we could use for SEL in class and give to struggling students and students who have internal family struggles? Just a thought! I find you so inspirational and want my kids to hear you, but sometimes it's a little too grown up for the little ones. I would use your story in class if you wanted to do that!

there is nothing more courageous than a person having the COURAGE to BE vulnerable.

[@Qtipz123]

After 27 and a bad relationship. I hit a pretty low point in my life. I smoked weed one night and got super high, but through that I got my epiphany. I finally realized how am I supposed help others if I can't help myself first. Up to that point I thought I was unloveable, then I realized how am I supposed to love someone else when I can't love myself first. Always take care of your needs first. You can't help others if you can't help yourself first. The way I put it nowadays is, how do you take care of someone else when you yourself are sick. You need to take care of your needs first before helping/loving others.

He is a gentleman through and through. He avoided naming the one person who hurt him the most for so many years

[@nataspeaks]

He knows that people who hurt us simply aren't worth mentioning.

[@themaggattack]

Maybe he's scared to. (Understandably.) That's a big can of worms to open so publicly. He IS a gentleman, but that's not what makes him one. He doesn't owe his abuser any protection or chivalry. Mainly, I think it's just because he has the right to keep those painful details private- in the safe space between himself and his counselor.

When Gabriel said, "Nothing comes quick that is worth anything.", it really hit home for me for it was an example of how much I have struggled throughout life. And, that quote also showed that at 47 Gabriel still respects and honors the struggle when moving through life.

I was raised to be a people pleaser and I’ve been to therapy about it. Still have issues with mean, narcissistic individuals because I’m not one and trying to move past them (cause I work with them) is tough. Still looking for complete inner peace. Fluffy, I lost my bff after 23 years. She was like a sister and we did everything together. She chose to leave the relationship because I “didn’t understand her anymore.” Hurt like hell for years, but I discovered that forgiving and moving on and thinking about my own well-being was more important. “Cleaning house” does help. Wish you nothing but the best always because I use your videos to get me through MY tough times. Unity through laughter always!❤

Really enjoyed this. What came across to me, in my opinion, is that Gabriel has really struggled with issues from childhood. Father not being around, can cause a child to blame self, and to seek love, approval, (laughter) from others. Over eating, drinking too much too often as a coping mechanism to handle emotions and feelings can come from not learning healthy ways to handle emotions and feelings. I hope he finds peace and healing. He has made me smile and laugh and enjoy life many times.

He talks about all ethnicities equally. And he does so with humor and laughter.

Truth to Power it is hard to get certain people out of your life that are destructive and yet you know it. I too am a slow learner . But therapy was very helpful for me as well. Still learning to this day

I met Fluffy at the Ontario Improv back in 2009-2010ish I think and this was before he blew up on the comedy scene and became a Netflix regular. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met and after his show, he went outside to hang out with everyone. Thank you for sharing this interview ❤🙏🏻

You're welcome,thank you for tuning in 🧡

The part about limiting time towards people who don’t make you happy hit home for me. Also the part that trying to satisfy someone who can’t ever be is a waste of energy. First love yourself, care for yourself. Man I love this guy. Gabriel Iglesias-Fluffy, you truly are an inspiration and have true wisdom from all your hardships. Thank you.

[@mayodeonse5075]

fluffy is the kind of person who tells stories that you never get tired of listening whether it is happy or sad.

[@lewishowes]

Absolutely!

Your vulnerability and honesty brought tears to my eyes.... We admitted powerlessness over our drinking and over eating

[@Chris-kz3jf]

Welcome to being a true human being, life is hard. 💜

Thank you, Gabriel, for your authenticity. Feels like listening to an old friend. So glad for your growth and sharing.

Wonderful conversation. I have followed Gabriel for many years but this was the first time I've heard him open up and it was enlightening. I am a retired Canadian, living in Jamaica and Gabriel can visit anytime. I'll be his Mom for however long he wants. Love and hugs.

[@lewishowes]

Thank you for tuning in! :)

[@cmaga92..]

I would love to see him in just the daily life. Vlogging, "Life with Gabe". Such a humble, real person.

[@lewishowes]

So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.

❤❤❤❤ gabe show yes!!!

You are on of the best comedians I’ve heard in a long while Gabriel! I just love your humor and down to earth wisdom. I felt every emotion you shared to the depths of my soul. May The Creator bless and keep you! And yours.

[@Shuffletraveler]

It’s so heartwarming to hear that someone famous and inspiring like Gabriel have had the same struggles like oneself and that I’m not alone. I also was/still working on my people pleasing tendencies and that I had struggled with the guilt feeling so I stayed in a relationship that I wasn’t happy in for 5 years until finally 6 months ago something changed inside me and I started to put myself first! And it has been a bliss since 😇😊 Thank yoy for this amazing conversation. It did resonate with me so much 🤍

[@johnchacko1425]

that's why he is relateable

[@kimleone5496]

I hope Gabriel knows that he is really special. Making people laugh and forget their problems even for a short period of time is just a gift. I hope he knows that. I love listening to his shows. He's really special

[@TheGiaAllenDC]

I relate to Gabriel about giving and giving and giving and nothing in return. I need to learn to say no and not feel bad about it. TY ❤ Living with gratitude and patience and service. ✍️🙏

[@artifundio1]

So true for me too... the things we hide under loughs and smiles! Gratitude, service and journaling are goooooood.
