Haters Gonna Hate // Why I'm A Twerp

[@cherrywallis]

Genuinely surprised you get any hate at all, you're one of the most genuine girls online I follow. Don't let people get you down, you're doing good, you are a good egg. xxx

[@garyc]

"You are brilliant" "Shut the computer and walk away." Yep x

[@LivingSoloful]

Irrelevantly, Carrie saying asshat made me randomly smile. Relevantly, Carrie is a bright light of happiness that makes me smile.

[@beckiejbrown]

I'm finding it very hard to write a response to this video topic, when my head is full of a thousand words to say about the opening few lines of this video. I'm very lost with what to say for now, I just had to jot something down tonight: Having spent years battling Depression very publicly and being torn apart in person and online, for talking about my mental health or for how I was when I was in darkness - by either haters, ex-friends, KZbinrs and co-workers - I completely and utterly understand how painful and hard it is to keep afloat. I understand.

[@GloriaTulwan]

Beckie!! I didn't know you watched Carrie. Love you both!

[@Claudia15123]

If anything, I love you more for this video. I've witnessed some of your struggles with hate on twitter (always based on really inaccurate information and jealousy) and all I can say is I feel even prouder of you (if that's even possible). As someone who finds it very difficult to accept that not everyone is going to like me, I thank you and wish you can ignore all the hate and keep being the WONDERFUL person you are. Xx

[@Claudia15123]

And remember... WE HAVE YOUR BACK, GIRL!!!

[@asmaabdv]

How can anyone hate on Carrie? I find that so hard to believe she's such a wonderful person it's like hating kittens or rainbows or cake like what?

[@RageQuitGirlOfficial]

asmaassya I met a girl at my university's poets society (she came with a friend the one time because she wasn't interesting in the society in the end) and when I met her I thought there was something a little off about her, it turned out she HATED KITTENS!

[@JellyMotion]

asmaassya A lot of people seem to have such negativity in their lives they don't believe that anyone could be as positive as Carrie. Therefore, they are under the impression she is 'fake' and 'two-faced'. I kind of fell for it at first then went 'wait a minute, that's a load of bull' xD

[@Davidonaa]

Most of the time people hate on others because the person they are hating on is successful and happy and the hater is unhappy with their life and doesn't like to see other people happy.

[@XPrincess30]

Cake is bad for you

[@ErinsHoose]

God I love the word arsehat. I've always wondered why on earth youtubers respond to hate comments (sometimes moreso than the nice comments), until I started receiving a couple of hate comments myself, and I could NOT ignore them! I replied fairly but bluntly. I had to reply. I'm not "big" enough to have loads of hate thrown at me, but I've had a few. I've often experienced the "hater" commenting back feeling bad that they've been confronted, and then they've send me an apology! Crazy. I have no idea why you receive hate but pffft, you're above it anyway, look how far you've come!

[@SingEmilyGrace]

I'm on a crazy binge watch of all your old videos - I don't know how on earth someone could hate you. So much love to you. Thank you for your honesty. You're the best xxx

[@jenny]

I can very much relate to wanting to reply and correct them. I get a lot of stupid/inaccurate/frustrating comments about one thing that happened over two years ago and although I'm used to them now, sometimes they just bother me a little too much. Really enjoyed this video, my lovely!

[@JelloMiniatures]

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety last year to. Had therapy for most of 2014. I am coping better now but it always remains. We just keep moving forward and you are a beautiful, intelligent, strong woman and you are an inspiration. Some people say I should not be open about my mental health but I think I need to be because some people are so scared to say that they are and it feels so much better to talk to people about it.

[@MegSays]

I really loved this Carrie, your words will stay with me! You're wise beyond your years and I *always* feel uplifting after watching you :) my KZbin channel is fairly small and I feel really lucky that I don't get 'hate' per se, but sadly it's one of those things that's unavoidable. I also live with a chronic illness and I feel like it'll sting if people are critical of that and how it affects my life - but all the more reason to continue raising awareness and spreading the idea that you live happily without being defined by your limitations :) ♥

[@MegSays]

Oopsie, *uplifted! Ooh and *you can live happily, my bad! x

[@FreyaQuirksALot]

I hope your channel continues to grow and stays hate free Meg! You're far too lovely to deserve that! :) x

[@MegSays]

Freya Mary aww, thank you so much! It's one of those things I'm preparing myself for as you know you're not going to be everyone's cup of tea - and if it's directed towards my illness hopefully it'll only encourage me to keep going and raise more awareness and understanding :) thank you again, so kind of you to say

[@joshuacreel3000]

Meg Says hopefully no one is an ass about your Illness and if they are I has better NOT see it. You're lovely awesome and inspirational.

[@MegSays]

Joshua Creel YOU are just the best! Sooo supportive and kind on every video, I love ya :) thank you so much! x

[@vestibuohl4135]

One of my heroes just said they have depression. Like me. Depression the mental illness that I have as well. Now crying of happiness. Thank you, Carrie. xx :)

[@daffodilZephyr]

The one thing I don't understand haters doing is dedicating their time paying attention to someone they hate. In what realm does it make any sense to watch someone, create a hate blog, and have a full on conversation about someone you despise? Like why are you wasting your time person!?! Why are you being so evil!?

[@daffodilZephyr]

Julia Mak yes, absolutely. I can totally understand leaving comments on someone who is morally in the wrong. But as far as some of the hate that goes around for certain people, it makes absolutely no sense. And these people will go so far as to monitor your twitter interactions with other people in your life... its just heinous.

[@Sarlota]

daffodilZephyr Because love and hate are king of a same thing.

[@daffodilZephyr]

Sarlota :) it's a very thin line

[@georgiajames9478]

daffodilZephyr I think they're bored with their own lives and/or terribly insecure about themselves, that's the only conclusion I've been able to come to. Just doesn't make any sense to me either.

[@MeggieSetGo]

I so needed this. You're absolutely right, and having another person (yourself) lay it out this way was so helpful and encouraging. I agree that those haters need hugs because something is clearly missing from their life. And I love the way you say "ass hat".

[@FreyaQuirksALot]

As I said on your Facebook, Carrie "Giving People Hope" Fletcher. You're a brilliant person and your health and happiness always comes first, and never be afraid to take that! I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with depression, and dealing with it in the public eye must be rubbish. Hopefully you can Mario head smash those boxes filled with bad things, and Carrie on being wonderful :) xxx

[@ItsCammiMe]

Oh, Carrie, I'm so sorry that you have to go through all this crap. I've been here since your first ever vlog and all I can say is that I'm so proud of you and how much you've achieved in the last couple of years. Haters are irrelevant, but I understand how they can get you down, just remember that there are people in here, like me, that love and support you, not because we think you're perfect (I mean, who is really?), but because we believe that you are a truly amazing person who is capable of incredible things. All these insecurities and mistakes of yours show that you're a human being, just like all of us, and honestly, that makes me love you more. Remember that the hopefuls are here for you *raises pinky* xxx

[@Rwededyet]

How did you not spill tea everywhere?

[@Carrie]

Rwededyet I did! Burnt my knee during this one!! Ha! xxx

[@RhiannonShipton]

I was wondering about that

[@miloulehibou]

That's word for word the comment I was about to write XD !

[@PinkDiamond7777777]

Rhi Shipton Same.

[@projectzip]

Time to switch to Ice Tea lol

[@FashionRocksMySocks]

I can completely relate to this video! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way :)

[@TimeCosmicLady]

YOU HAVE HATERS??? YOU'RE ADORABLE!!!!! I want to meet you and hug you and be your friend and make a pj party, ignore them because you are a queen and I love you

[@cheerykira]

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with that full statement

[@TimeCosmicLady]

***** LET'S DO IT!! :D

[@India.H]

+Pepa Flores I agree with that. We should all meet up at sitc and have pizza and watch Disney.

[@livchapman5820]

I love u Carrie, stay strong. You are someone that helped me get through a rough patch because of your kindness and posativity. Thankyou and stay strong you are so wonderful big sis! Xxxxxx

[@yolworld]

"You are allowed to have an opinion, but you are not allowed to be an asshole" Carrie, my role model

[@RebeccaSmile19]

I think this is my new favourite video, everything you said is just so on point! I know its hard to know somebody personally through a computer screen but you really are such a lovely person and you can see that in every video you make and in your writing. nothing but love for you!

[@ilurvsharrypotter]

How can anyone hate you? You are literally one of the brightest lights of awesome online xxx

[@rosiefryer7156]

The fact you've had hate just makes me sad, but you deal with it so well, despite what you say here! Well done on everything you've achieved Carrie you beautiful butterfly you, and remember that we're all here for you with a hug and big mug of tea ready whenever you need it xxx

[@cherrywallis]

And damn - best ending to a video. Haha. Love this a lot.

[@Carrie]

Cherry Wallis Thank you Cherry!

[@violetdaisy0024]

Yeah so do i

[@frejacook91]

Hi Carrie I just wanted to say thank you! Whenever I feel sad or down I just watch one of your lovely videos and I immediately feel so much better... Anyway thanks for making your videos and being so kind with us hopefuls!

[@jasminek3612]

if you're comfortable with it can you make a depression video advice type thing that would be amazing Carrie :) you're the best either way and I hope that I will be able to buy your book soon!

[@bernieblogs7461]

Carrie! I completely understand where you are coming from! I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety a year and a half ago and it is a real struggle. I'm happy that with a hell of a lot hard work managed to get over it. Again with the topic of hate I actually struggle with that, I always concentrate on the negative. Thank you so much for all your tips really helpful. Much love. Keep going, you are awesome! :) xx

[@sydneyhollingsworth433]

You're channel is like this cozy, safe place on the internet that I always come to when I feel down or am just fed up with silly people on here. How anyone could give you hate, I'll never know x

[@imogenna_]

Also, cliche inspirational comment here, but seeing you through your videos, obviously that's the only part of you we get to know, and you're so positive and happy and in this one, being even able to take one of the worst situations to come out of the internet and provide positive and constructive feedback so it doesn't hurt as many people anymore, that is truly inspirational. If you can be so amazing and positive whilst suffering from depression like I am, why can't I feel those same things too? You truly remind me that "happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light", and I couldn't thank you enough for it xx

[@romybliss3368]

I never knew you had depression, I respect you saying it online. It's a very sensitive subject and it's difficult to talk about or explain. Online, you seem like such a bubbly, beautiful, confident happy young person! It just goes to show how little you can know about someone and how unfair it is to make judgements about them when you only see the tip of the iceberg. This is where I came when I was depressed or just upset, your an inspiration Carrie. Hopefuls outnumber Haters and we all love you! 💜💜💜

[@idgafiminfinite]

I saw your tweet about haters and admittedly rolled my eyes, like, a lot, because I've been seeing a lot of youtubers addressing hate recently and it just seems so pointless to me to acknowledge it. After seeing this video though, I feel like I know where you were coming from, I really enjoyed it and felt like you had a valuable message. It was good to see your thoughts properly laid out, it's unfortunate how Twitter's 140 character limit leads to the oversimplification of what people want to say.

[@vickya3403]

I'm just glad I'm not in the same situation you are, Carrie, because I would do the same thing! I HATE having people not like me - it gives me all kinds of anxiety. Dealing with that on a large scale? I just couldn't do it. No one blames you for responding to those comments or going on trashing websites anonymously, and you should cut yourself a break, too! Hopefully it gets easier to deal with for you, although I really do wish the people who give you a hard time on your videos would just go away - they can be really vicious. Don't take it to heart, there are so many people who love you, including me!

[@itsgemmma]

You have no idea how much I need this thank you Carrie. Also I'm really sorry to hear about your depression, as someone who also suffers with it I hope it gets better for you.

[@DaisySore]

The fact that I didn't even realise Carrie was diagnosed with depression, kind of proves how good people can be at hiding things, especially considering she is constantly putting herself into the Internet. It's astonishing.

[@sophiechapman1177]

Carrie's videos are best when you can see her at the peak of exploding with passion. Beautiful. x

[@Memmyrabilia]

I feel so bad knowing you were diagnosed with depression! You're amazing, and you make all of your Hopefuls happy, it's hard to think you aren't yourself. I'm sending you my love from America ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kirstygunn9149]

Its way past my bedtime. You are one of the wisest people i know and to be able to continue with your work on and off stage while having depression is amazing .i have had mental health problems for over 18 years and i know how hard it is to block out the negative things and people in life. You may not feel it some times but you are an inspiration to not only to your "little sisters"but also the older hopefuls as well. You are an amazing role model to all hopeful s as you tell it like it is and show your good days and admit when you are not feeling 100% .thank you for being you Carrie hope fletcher .

[@eloisebrad5469]

Hiya Carrie ! You were diagnosed with depression ? It's incredible how the people who always make you feel so much better and seem to be so smiley and cheerful, can be the ones who are dealing with sh*t... I hope so much that you get/are getting better because you deserve all the best in the world. As you say, we don't know exactly who you are but who you choose to show to thousands of people, is someone cheerful and inpirational. THank you for that. Love yaaaa ! ;)

[@Dahliachamish]

Carrie you are such a huge inspiration, you seem like the kindest and happiest person and that baffles me how you were/are dealing with depression while keeping such a positive attitude and being so kind to people. And I believe I'm speaking for a lot of us here when I say you make me want to be a better person, and have helped me become one. Love you, Carrie!

[@PrincessaAnastasiya]

Telling the haters to get a bear hug aka wishing hugs upon haters aka truly defeating negativity with positivity -- I ADORE YOU.

[@AmyLovatt1]

The fact that you're drinking from a CHF mug warms my heart so much. I love this video as always Carrie. You always talk about such important issues with such eloquence, clarity and compassion xx

[@jemimakate2]

i don't see how anyone can hate Carrie. i mean, look at her. she's got nothing to dislike!

[@laurajayne5785]

Oh my goodness how I've cried at this video. Recently I've become open about struggling with the same thing as well as anxiety, it's been so hard but hearing that you've dealt with the same thing and just pushed forwards and tried crazily hard to be positive yet still accepting some day will just be hard. Unfortunately people use the Internet for the wrong reasons, but when you do get someone who voices their opinion loudly in a negative way, just give yourself time to read through the countless number of comments from the people who watch you because they love, respect and look up to you, just like I do! Thank-you Carrie! *pinkie*

[@GabrielaCenturionNeumann]

Well, I don't know about others... but I love your videos. And the fact that you could not feel comfortable about talking about your depression makes me feel sad about this world and what it is coming down to. I wish we lived in a world were we could talk about those things and not be shamed or hated upon. Having said that, I will go back to the video. And Carrie, you will always be beautiful for me. I love your personality. You're the kind of person I would love to be friends with and talk for hours :) Lots of love from Paraguay

[@Beffinee]

This was really important to me right now. My videos generally don't get many views but I recently got one that got 60,000 views and its kind of controversial. I've gotten a lot of hate on that video which isn't really something I'd dealt with before other that just trolls. A lot of people just clearly misunderstood the video or didn't watch it all the way through and when I corrected them they'd generally react like 'oh fair enough, I understand now'. But there were some people who were still arguing back at me, and arguing amongst themselves in the comments. I don't even look now because I know its not worth any more of my time. If they are so determined to find me at fault somehow, clutching at any straw they can find then they are not worth my energy. Keep working hard Carrie - there are so many people that love your videos and you give out such great advice. You're a lovely human ♡♡♡♡♡♡

[@batmatt1001]

The fact that you are brave enough to announce to the Internet that you have depression whilst at the same time being our happy'ol'lucky big sister who doesn't like us to see you sad on screen is bloody breathtaking and kinda beautiful.

[@lauraclark952]

Hateful comments are one of the hardest things to deal with. Know that you are LOVED by many. You have put a smile on my face and helped my with my personal depression and problems. I am an older(ish) lady who appreciates your honesty and sweetness. Sending you love from Oregon.

[@tylerbailey9984]

Ok, this is slightly unrelated, just a question that I've been wondering. Do you spill a lot of tea during your videos? You talk with your hands a lot, which is very entertaining, but you always have your tea, and I just wanna know if it ends up everywhere by the end of filming.

[@michaelphillipdaly]

Medi Lord I was thinking the very same thing.

[@babseyjonesy]

I was just about to comment the same thing 😂 I think the mug was empty luckily lol!

[@georginahill7505]

She has answered this before on tumblr and she said yes😂😂 moving her hands a lot she spills it between jump cuts 😂

[@brittanyfaith5983]

I love all your moments, Carrie. Your moments of passion, of weakness, of tears, of uncontrollable laughter, of music, of ideas, EVERYTHING. It's crazy how much I admire and respect someone I don't even know (but to be honest, it feels like I do!). Keep on sharing these moments, Carrie, because I love them all

[@CinziaDuBois]

I get so much hate over my voice. So many people judge my voice and ALL are SO unbelievably incorrect about my upbringing and background and especially my class that I spend hours and hours wishing to correct them all that I've gotten so close to making a video about being a parking glass girl and even spilling my financial background and details - and I realised how crazy that was, because that's like ridiculously private information, but I was so fed up with inaccurate hate I really wanted to do it. I never did thank god, and never will; but the desire to correct never goes away and it's so so hurtful that strangers around the world can take away all that I'm proud of about my independent through false judgements. But so agree with this video. It's unfortunately gotten to the point however that I have stopped speaking & stopped making videos because I'm that paranoid about how my voice ruins me and drives so much hatred. Like I genuinely haven't physically spoken not even to my own mother, and it kills me. But that's the effect hate can have on people, even people like me with so few subscribers, and I wish haters understood the damage they can cause.

[@natalyajacqueline7673]

I'm so sorry to hear this:( if it's any consolation, the first time I heard you speak, I was enticed to listen to what you had to say even more because of your voice and, until you mentioned the whole class thing now, I never even thought about it! I just enjoyed hearing what you had to say and your thoughts on different topics interested me, so I subscribed... I'm so sorry that the hate affected you so greatly that it came to this:( but I hope to have restored some faith at all back into you as I, along with many others of your subscribers I'm sure, are looking forward to your next video, whenever that may be:) much love x

[@natalyajacqueline7673]

And apologies for the bad grammar- it's late and my brain is failing me hahah :p

[@NathalieSernaG]

Choncey Boddington Aww Choncey i'm really sorry to read this, specially because i like your voice and i think it has a great tone and when i watch your videos one of the reasons that always keep me interested it's your voice because i like how you express your opinion and feelings trough her. Please don´t liste to the haters YOU DO YOU keep being that amazing and inspiring person that you are!!! I hope to see more videos of you more frequently and of course to listen to your lovely voice

[@Buzpud]

Personally I love your voice :) I'd swap voices.

[@wordsofclover]

Choncey Boddington Oh no! I love your voice and your accent, they make me so happy! You're always so passionate about everything you speak about, and it's wonderful. I really hope that things get better for you, and I know it's hard but try and focus on all the people who love and appreciate you than those who don't. Anyone who feels that bullying is okay are just mean, spiteful and jealous and more often than not feel tiny in real life and try and make up for it online. I believe in karma, so wonderful things will come to you, and not so wonderful things may happen to them to make them think about their mistakes and realise what they did is wrong. Lots of love x

[@showersofstardust]

I really needed this... Thank you for being awesome, Carrie! And so proud of you for working through your own issues... had NO idea you were dealing with depression. You're truly incredible. Love you!

[@Marie45610]

I can't imagine anyone hating on you. You are such a sweet person.

[@solvisionx9965]

Dear Carrie, I love how authentic you are and admire you for sharing an information that you are so ashamed of! That's so brave. - By the way, being an English teacher in Germany I sometimes use your videos to inspire my students to discuss certain topics. - Your voice, accent, articulation and content are of great use!

[@AdventuresInTimeandPlace]

This is insane. I've actually stopped reading the comments of youtube and facebook. I've noticed there's a terrifying amount of hate comments (mainly racist or sexist) on the Buzzfeed videos. It's horrible and I've learnt not to retaliate but how can there be so many people who think that that is ok to do?

[@amandahagen7433]

My heart sank when you said that you were diagnosed with depression in this video. My twin sister has recently been diagnosed with depression as well so I understand in a sense what you're going through. The fact that you can stay so positive during all of this is very inspiring and gives me bounds of hope for my sister. Stay strong and remember that all of your Hopefuls love you very much 💙

[@mitchross1597]

Not to get off topic, but I really love your eyeliner. Thought you might like to know. Love ya.

[@oliviaj.o.9682]

I love you, Carrie! I'm going through depression myself and you've helped me a lot.

[@glennis]

i have anxiety and depression and i deal with a lot of self hate. my friends will do one little thing and then i will totally over think it and end up crying. i feel like people hate me, even though they probably dont. its really annoying to have anxiety and depression. it makes everything v hard.

[@marionroux3927]

I have both and I know how you feel.

[@simplyhappy4858]

I know how you feel, i have to deal with that all the time 🙈

[@JessToLetYouKnow]

shocked to hear you were diagnosed with depression, it was your videos I turned to when I was suffering with it because your positivity and hope got me through, stay strong Carrie, more of us love you than the twerps who have nothing else to do but hate.

[@wintergrace6683]

Carrie! You seem so overwhelmed and upset in this video (this is probably the most i've ever seen you curse; it's ok though) And i just want you to know that we all love you SO much. So much. And just because some giant douchecanoes on the internet are rude, hateful people who have nothing better or more productive to do with themselves than try to spread their putrid hate, this in no way reflects how lovely you are as a person. Some people, it seems, just like being idiots. xxx

[@Carrie]

Luna Grace I was having a bit emotional break down before this video and making this video was kind of me saying "Right. Don't let it defeat you. DO something about it in a constructive way that will make you feel better AND that might help other people simultaneously"!!!! xxx

[@TheRexasaurus]

Well said Carrie! But How did she respond to this without saying how cool your name is >.< hehehe

[@darkhorse7990]

***** You're right this actually echoed a lot of what I've been going through. I'm not on KZbin or anything but I have people in my life who feed off other people's misery and constantly make me feel like sh*t. And only recently have I been learning to not care what they think of me and not stoop to their level because it's just not worth it.

[@dmndsol]

Luna Grace Great comment but even greater was "Douchecanoe". I love it, I'm using it, it's my fave new curse word.

[@pearljoslyn9947]

You are such a positive beam of light. I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me cope with depression and anxiety over the last few years. You're lovely! Thank you for sharing

[@JamieVlogs1]

Your so inspiring!

[@_goodluck_beckii]

Everywhere you go and everywhere you turn, there will be someone out there who will hate you just because of who you really are and they might not like that person, they will want to tear you apart, and make you feel so small. This video is truly inspiring, my friends and I always worry about what other people think of us. After graduating school we all had a great laugh about what stupid things people in our school was saying, the thing was none of them was true. This world is full with haters, love, kindness and crimes and none of us can actually do anything about it apart from ignore it and move on that want we did cuz none of that matter anymore. Thanks for this video Carrie that is so true. xxx

[@ohyeahitslizzie]

Carrie just a quick message to say you inspire me in everyone of your videos, okay then... Bye☺️xxx

[@danacordero1262]

hi carrie ! to be honest i think you're amazing ! don't let anyone ever bring you down because you're an amazing and kind person. even though i don't really know you it shows through videos. i honestly take you as my big sister and you help me through so much. through your advice or just making me smile, i think you're beautiful inside and out :D I'm going on a trip to europe next week and I'm trying to convince my parents to come see you in les mis. but about the haters, they are gonna hate, but you just gotta keep on smiling and pray that maybe one day they'll be happy with themselves and others ! and remember that the true fans love you and are here for you no matter what! idk if this helped, i hope this made you smile :P but i love you carrie ! you do you! xx

[@rosiex2757]

for every 1 hate comment there is 100 more positive nice comments :)

[@Carrie]

rosie x Exactly! :) xxx

[@xqeenx]

Positive comments are boring, I think that's the problem :(

[@georgirp]

xqeenx No they're not. Troll comments and hateful comments are tired and boring.

[@xqeenx]

GeorgiChan Not all hate comments are the same, but all positive ones are. "You're my hero/ I love u/ ur so pritty/ notice me." Yawn. That's just the unfair nature of youtube. All praise looks the same and blends together.

[@georgirp]

xqeenx Usually hateful comments are along the same line, so yes they do grow old. Also spam comments. I'd hardly call people being nice, boring. Telling someone that you admire, that you look at them is a good thing.

[@ansleymoore8465]

CARRIE I FREAKING ADORE YOU!!!!! This video is something I really needed because I'm bad about getting really defensive in the face of people who don't like me & this was a great reminder that what a few haters think of me doesn't matter.

[@Ayeleyeart]

That fake account story made me laugh so much oh Carrie you silly thing oh my word xD i get you though, as humans we can't really help but want people to like us :P

[@Carrie]

heyaloy I know I'm SUCH an idiot. I was just so desperate to say SOMETHING, to try and defend myself but new it was worthless/pointless coming from me! Seriously. IDIOT! xxx

[@ricardaseven6083]

***** i honestly don't think it was stupid to do that - you have every right to correct those people talking crap about you and that was one way of doing it (maybe even a really clever one).....but you're right, not concentrating on hate in the first place is the best way :)

[@bridget48]

Carrie! You have no idea how this has helped me!!! I have been feeling really down these past couple of days, and this just gave me the wake up call i needed. Thank you!!!! xox

[@ljmastertroll]

Hugs for haters - it started here!

[@McInHeather]

Carrie you are brilliant. You know you are, millions who watch you onstage, read your book or watch your videos do too. The ones hating envy your success and loving personality so feel the need to lash out because of their insecurities about failing at life. The last thing I want to sound like is a brown noser, but you're really a fantastic role model to people of all ages, and I will continue to support you in what you do. Sing your heart out on that west end stage and think you've achieved dreams one could only imagine.

But how can you even be hated? I mean, come on, you are one of the cutest person on Earth

[@innominatumapplemord7278]

Carrie you just kicked ass in this video! Absolutely fantastic!!! No question that for people who are receiving hate, this video will help a lot! I know what it is like to be diagnosed with depression, and man I wish this video had come out months ago cause I would have got over it a lot quicker! Carrie you rule!!!!!

[@pinkunicornglitter]

It baffles me how people decide they don't like someone and instead of moving on with their own "perfect" lives, they go and dedicate their precious time to a person they do not like. Time is a gift, so why not give it to the people you actually love?

[@Carrie]

pinkunicornglitter But that works on the flip side when we obsess over hateful comments and over analyse why someone doesn't like us/why they'd say mean things instead of spending our time on the people we love! Which is what I need to work on MASSIVELY! xxx

[@pinkunicornglitter]

***** Yes, I agree completely. I think it's human nature to want to be liked though, so it's understandable that hateful comments bother us so much! It's also great that you're self-aware enough to realise what you need to work on because it takes an incredible person to admit their weaknesses xxx

[@mchammar416]

oh Carrie! I'm sorry for your struggles! but it makes me feel less alone to hear you say that you're dealing with depression, as I deal with it too. Thank you for making positive videos! I find they make me feel loads better on a bad day :)

[@hannahb_beauty]

Carrie you are a human, ans humans are imperfect. But you just made a point with celestial perfection and i applaude you! You are a sweetie and your videos make me so happy, sometimes i wish we were best friends haha ! Lots of love

[@ciarashiles2926]

To hear that you've been dealing with depression and stupid haters and still show a positive face online.. wow. It just makes me and loads of other hopefuls love you even more. You are strong and beautiful and talented young women and an inspiration to all. We have your back Carrie, always. ❤

[@creativelyclare]

I'm 15th viewer what haha omg this never happens to me. I think I have depression (or perhaps anxiety) but I'm not quite sure atm, the past couple of months have been a bit of a mental health mess :/ . I'm the sort that prioritises other people's problems over mine. Anyway, great video as always, love you :) this is like that Dr Seuss quote, 'those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind' :-)

[@veramathijssen4199]

Hey, If you feel mentally unwell it might be a good idea to start seeing somebody about that if you are in the position to do so. Wish you the best of luck! Xx.

[@momentomemori]

Please go to a doctor. They can't tell anyone and they have to do their best to help you feel better.

[@noeliabarbero7526]

Carrie, I have no idea how can someone hate you! I mean, how is it possible? You really are the sweetest person I've ever met. Whenever I'm having a bad day, the only thing that I need to feel better is watching one of your videos and that's it, my day gets better with all the kindness and positiveness that your videos show. It's just amazing, you are an amazing, beautiful, lovely, talented person. Please remember that if someone hate you it definitely is because they don't know a thing about you. You deserve so much love, so many smiles and hugs, and RESPECT - I love you, Carrie. PS: I can't wait to read your book, do you have any idea when is it coming to Argentina? Kisses!

[@RandomChocolate008]

Like Charlieissocoollike says "if you want to answer a negative commet, answer five positive instead" 😊

[@kiraconnors5292]

Carrie, I think your an amazing person, and I hope that this video helped a lot of people like it helped me!

[@wafelsen]

Carrie, imagine someone came up to you and said "This jelly bean tastes like poo. You won't like it. Don't eat it." Would you want to eat it? I can understand the "you told me not to, so now I want to" philosophy. I totally can. But it will totally hurt you. Don't go looking for people who say hurtful things. Of course, people actively wishing ill on others makes me think of actors who go around wishing each other broken legs.

[@Carrie]

scarabbi Just saying, I would totally eat that jelly bean! That's what Bertie Botts are for! :P xxx

[@hannahburkinshaw858]

Carrie this is such a powerful and important video. I understand how hard it is for you to make a video like this and I am soo proud and impressed, having also suffered with mental health problems. Love you Carrie xox

[@liambuck3166]

Everyone is allowed have an opinion. Doesn't mean that your opinion has to be heard, though.

[@emilynewport2631]

Honestly carrie, meeting you was amazing and you are one of the nicest people I've ever met. You work so hard and you deserve everything you have and all the people who love you! I'm so happy you know how to ignore everyone who is stupid and negative and you know you are too good for that. xox

[@hans9T5]

I think the fact that Carrie was diagnosed with depression just goes to prove her point that you don't really know KZbinrs because I bet I wasn't the only one who didn't really expect that. I must say I do have opinions on KZbinrs that I don't necessarily like but for one, most of those opinions aren't based on their videos, it's usually other things they do or say that I don't always feel comfortable with and therefore I don't watch them. I'll never understand people who watch the videos of people that they seem to hate with such passion. Final note - I think most people have done something as ridiculous as the forum account thing at some point in their lives.

[@Rachelhappyface]

Love this! I definitely do similar things (although my social media audience is far smaller!) especially as I suffer from anxiety and I tend to catastrophise things in my head big time! Power to you for speaking up about it and talking about your mental health issues- we need to be discussing these way more! Xxx

[@jenvcampbell]

Carrie, I'm going to save this link and watch it several times over. I identify with this very much in two ways. Firstly, as an author - as I'm sure you have now experienced - you have the similar dilemma of 'Do I read the reviews?', and you have this conversation with yourself: Me 1: I want to read the reviews. Me 2: Writers should never read the reviews. Me 1: But there will be nice things! Me 2: Yes, but there will also probably be some things you don't like. Me 1: I can handle that. Me 2: Hahaha. No you can't. Me: 1: Yes I can. Me 2: * sigh * Me 1: * reads all the reviews. Finds the one bad one (and by bad, I mean bitchy - not constructive). Forgets about the nice things. Thinks about it non-stop for weeks. * Sometimes there are rather hilarious things that you just want to correct but you have to stop yourself. My latest book has a two star review on Amazon that says "I bought this book for a friend. They haven't told me if they liked it yet, so I can't comment on it." Which made me giggle a lot. When my first book came out in the States, one journalist decided to write a 3000 word article about how much she didn't like me. Not the book - how much she did not like me, or the me she thought she knew having never been in contact with me at all. This was years before I started making KZbin videos, and there wasn't much information about my life online so she literally made up my life - where I grew up, where I went to school etc etc it was the most bizarre thing, every piece of information was wrong and she must have known it. The newspaper kept tweeting the article at me, wanting me to respond (which I didn't). Who does that? Very sad people who need a hug - as you rightly said. Secondly, and slightly differently but more specifically to do with hate offline (I hate saying "in real life", like the internet isn't real; you know what I mean), I receive rude comments every day because I have ectrodactyly - which is missing and misshapen fingers. Despite dealing with this all my life, it never ceases to astound me what people consider ok to say to a perfect stranger. Some examples: "Did your parents consider abortion?" "Can you dress yourself?" "Does the rest of your body work ok?" "DON'T TOUCH ME. IS IT CONTAGIOUS?" I mean, seriously. Normally, I'm fine and I can deal with it but sometimes it's overwhelming. (If anyone's interested, I made a video over on my channel called the 'Be A Good Human' book tag, trying to inspire people to read diverse books to squish ignorance - and therefore hate - and turn crappy situations like this into ones filled with love for excellent books. Because books make the world a better place. Yes, they do.) This was a rather long comment! What I mean to say is: YES YES AND THRICE YES to everything you say in this video. And thank you for sending me a copy of All I Know Now. I'm currently reading it, and loving it very much. Lots of love xxxxxx

[@shaunamartin4391]

Carrie, I love you so much and it hurts to hear you say you had been diagnosed with depression last year. But I do HOPE you will feel much better 💛 (Proud Hopeful) 😊

[@itshannahost]

This video inspired me to start a Hopeful twitter account @HugsForHopefuls - I want to make people happier so if anyone is experiencing hate, make sure you know that people love you and you can always talk to me xxx

[@Chloance1]

Carrie, I love and admire you're positive attitude and your ability to share your learning from your mistakes you clearly don't need to listen to any of the negative comments or hate because at the end of the day you're the bigger person and you just constructively used that hate as fuel to help others to deal with hate and that says a lot about you as a person ❤

[@sq891]

I still dont understand why you can't rectify/reply to someone who doesn't like you because of hearing false information.....?

[@Carrie]

safia qureshi You can if you want to but it's not worth getting dragged down by it. Sometimes, the information they've based their opinion on is very clearly out there if they just looked a little harder for it and having to correct people over and over and over again weighs you down! Sometimes, it's best just to let people think what they think and concentrate on the people who have the right info! xxx

[@xxxneo4everxxx]

I don't know how anyone could hate on you Carrie you seem like such down to earth lovely person your such a good role model to everyone out there and tbh your one of my biggest role models in life so be proud of you because you are fricken amazing!!!!! xxxx

[@charliedingelstad7700]

Petition to have Carrie and Taylor Swift record a duet!

[@shaynapunim]

love you so much carrie !!! 🎀

[@eling1806]

Is it just me who does not understand why anyone is bothered to spend their time hating on people you dont know over the internet? Like why? seriously, why? Go read a book or something instead 😂✨

[@veramathijssen4199]

Carrie, I have to say how much of an inspiration you are, not only to me but to all of us Hopefulls out there. How you deal with issues (and the mistakes you have made while doing that) show us so many wise lessons one could only wish to life by all. This might sound a bit weird (I am aware of it too ;) ) but the way you try to better yourself everyday dispite of all your human flaws is amazing, and I adore you for it. I hope I didn't repeat myself, Xx. Vera
