I’m a silent viewer and have always felt cringey leaving comments. For this episode tho, I want to express appreciation for your content. I’ve been watching consistently for abt 2 years now and I love the direction y’all have gone. The level of growth and maturity is really refreshing and y’all may not know it, but the topics you covered today really reach a lot of people. Thanks for deciding to have a deep, vulnerable episode. It makes the rest of us feel a little less alone :)

[@extremelydepressedninersfan]

Sean is so real for saying that he’s afraid to love someone/opening up their heart for them bc they’re gonna be gone someday. I’m the same way and I hate thinking/having that mindset bc it really ruins how you see life and makes you afraid of making certain choices. I’m so happy he brought this up 🫶🏻

[@funkynutblast1145]

literally I never spoke about it before or even said it out loud and hearing him say it was kind of mind blowing idky. Its never happened to me or anyone I know but it became a fear tht I genuinely think is going to happen and its the worst feeling

[@anarchistsalute]

That's life. If you're fortunate to find someone who cares for you and loves you, why deprive yourself of it just because of that fear? That possibility is always there. I guarantee you when you're looking back, if you had someone by your side that you lost, you're going to be happy you atleast got to experience a part of your life with them and not think why you ever ended up in that relationship in the first place.

[@oookie1946]

Definitely growth but I do think it has something to do with Christine not being there anymore. She was constantly bagging on him for being closed off.. which is not gonna make a person open up so her not being there anymore definitely helped in my opinion

[@iamwattpadandrhyslarsentrash]

@@oookie1946 Yeah I kinda agree. I do like her and her inputs when she was on the pod but she was a little too straightforward(?) sometimes and while there’s nothing wrong with that, it can be uncomfortable for the other person. I remember in a previous podcast when Sean would say he’s emotionless (or struggling recognizing his emotions) Christine told him that she wants to talk to his sister and idk it just felt too much 😭 but like I said I like Christine and I believe she had good intentions but her execution wasn’t always the best

[@kaideloscope]

@@iamwattpadandrhyslarsentrashi think it’s ‘cause christine is not really a close friends to them. and to be fair at that time sean and christine is still new to the podcast.

[@iamwattpadandrhyslarsentrash]

[@eveningswithelena]

I never comment but something about the moment at 19:26 where sage and Sean open up and sage says "I never met anybody that thinks like that too," really hit me and I thought it was so beautiful that they've been friends for so too long and this podcast allows them to get to know them better each day. I also love how much we get to learn about you guys and it allows us to reflect on ourselves when you guys ask the hard hitting questions. Much love

Oh so we all crying tonight. No but on a serious note thank you for sharing part of your past and present. It is hard to open up to friends and even harder to open up for the whole world to see. For anyone reading this don’t give up. It will get better and you are loved. The world is a harsh place but they are people who will love you for who you are. Thank you you guys for making this a safe place for many and thank you for opening up to us. ❤

[@ranabeshir2596]

25:48 nick and sean asking maru if she has anything she wants to say because she was quiet the whole time was so wholesome

[@vmarieeee]

y’all being able to talk about such hard shit you experienced through childhood not only in front of each other but on camera too is so commendable. Made me cry just listening to y’all and thinking about my own personal situations too. You guys have such a beautiful friendship, it’s obvious y’all are there for each other 24/7 and I really hope everyone finds a friend group like this.❤

[@liz_v2166]

My heart goes out to Maru. When she started tearing up I felt that. It's hard to open up and I am proud of you for doing so! I know this because I too can't talk about these subjects with just anyone and not feel a flood of emotions pouring out of me. 😢

[@isarose00]

The dynamic of y’all’s friend group to be able to protect eachother like that is so good to see 😭‼️🩷

[@msmiabobia]

i understand sage and sean’s fears about losing the ones we love and being feared about dying. it’s so terrifying and my anxiety always gets the best of me, but remember everyone anxiety doesn’t control you, you control it; your mind is your temple and so is your body, so treat it right and treat it like you are so much more important than your worries and fears. pray, find a motive, create calmness in the chaos.

fear of losing someone and loving someone new is so real. This part made me tear up cause I remember watching my grandparents slowly slip away; that's why I really loathe hospitals, and funerals cause it just brings me back to that moment. :( whew. Sage and Sean were so real for this. Damn.

[@stevenrobinson9300]

As a younger millennial (29) I think the thing I enjoy most about this pod is the fact I get to see these guys grow. They are one the more positive pieces to the influencer puzzle, which is so important for this current generation. They represent the importance of community and I hope they continue to flourish so more young people can be exposed to said importance. There’s a lot of lonely people out in the world and I genuinely think this group can make a real difference.

[@danihernandez625]

Devin is so in touch with his emotions it’s so beautiful to see a guy have this level of vulnerability

[@jessicagovea4048]

this episode is by far one of my favorite ones. This was everything I needed to hear and it is so comforting to know others have experienced loss and are open to talk about it. I can't wait until I can tell people about my mom and grandparents.

[@lizagarunova]

my dad was fighting cancer for the past 5-6 years, & we just lost him a couple months ago, so hearing people my age talk about similar experiences -- Sean with his dad being sick & feeling pressure to be the "rock" in his relationships with his mom/sister, Sage talking about the fear of illness/hurting your loved ones because of it, Nick talking about how we can start to avoid seeing our loved ones & miss out on time with them b/c we subconsciously protect ourselves from the hurt of watching them fade away, Cynthia+Sean talking about the avoidance & "I don't know" explanation of it all with their families, Maru talking about "bottling up" her emotions -- was so eye-opening (in a good way) and made me feel less alone in my own experiences with those struggles too. The switch to deeper topics/convos was really cool to listen to, because most people don't think about how heavily you think about (and are affected by) things like that when you're young, so you guys talking about it is setting an awesome example for the young people watching by showing them that it's okay to feel it & talk about it. I know that this made me look at love/family/loss in my life differently (by showing me that I'm not alone in these experiences) -- and I'm sure it has done/will do the same for others watching out there too. Thank you so so much for being vulnerable & sharing as much as you guys felt comfortable -- we appreciate the authenticity so much.

[@iyalla52]

i love maru so much her voice breaking during talking about her family was so heartbreaking and so relatable holding in most of your problems cause they"d be invalidated making you pile it up and having it come up all at once in a bad outburst

[@manikaur9030]

The only thing I watch anymore is suburb talks and it's simply because you guys have a different energy that just lightens up my day. I love the fact y'all are so close together so that you guys can joke around but be serious and vulnerable as well. I admire that a lot and I hope everyone here finds their own group like this

[@elaysiamira]

This episode was soooo good 😭 I found myself crying when you guys were talking about loved ones dying to cancer, which is crazy cuz I never cry about anything ever. But Nick's story about his Tia and how he couldn't process his emotions just broke me down because I'm literally the same way. When my grandma died to cancer I didn't cry, when my Godmother died to covid I didn't cry, and when my Aunt died due to illness, I didn't cry, even though I was super close to all of them, I genuinely didn't know how to process my emotions and would just watch my family members break down and cry and I used to think for the longest that something was genuinely wrong with me. But hearing you guys voice that you also struggle with the same thing just makes me feel like I'm not alone haha. So thank you guysss lol I love you so so much!

i’m so glad nick brought up him and his parents + sister dynamic when it came to fights bc i’m the same way with my family. i’m so patient and bite my tongue with friends, strangers, and other adults if they make me mad but when it comes to my parents and brother, they really do bring the worst out of me. i swear my family LOVES to push my buttons and push boundaries but not only that, they refuse to stop yelling when communicating. it’s so damn hard dealing with it

this episode actually made me cry. i really loved hearing everyone’s experiences throughout their life. i relate to Maru on the feeling like i shouldn’t be able to speak up. i think it’s a thing with asian parents, cause that’s what i dealt with my mother. our childhoods really do mess us up😞but i love how yall came out stronger and better☺️

Just wanted to say that sage and sean you both are so valid for feeling the way you do!!! for being scared of loosing someone and getting sick.

i’m only at minute 45:00 but maru talking about that comment really made me think so much about Vereena. I am unsure if they have talked about anything publicly but I have watched her since she was in high school and the idea of any one I have grown up with being harmed physically emotionally mentally breaks my heart. I am praying for her and I know you guys are too privately 🫶🏾

[@veryrealme3887]

This is probably my first comment on youtube.. i got so emotional specially when you were talking about sickness and death, i had to watch my mom go through hell with ALS , she was so full of life, beautiful soul and heart and in a 2 years span everything changed and i couldn’t do anything to help her i felt alone and helpless it just sucks i’m now avoidant and in a way i think i lost my empathy, in those years i cut off all my friends and family because i thought they wouldn’t understand and if they did they would not care so why bother, but this channel gave me joy in the midst of grieving so thank you for sharing what you guys went through, this personally made me feel not alone.

At the end of the day what brings people together is the fact that we share similar experiences, good and bad, because we are human. Who knows who you guys might of helped by sharing your stories. I truly think our generation will revolution society from here on out, because of our ability to express ourselves openly. Love this! And I look forward to seeing more of these videos from you guys.❤

sage is so real. a lot of women in my family have been diagnosed with breast cancer n everytime i feel a lil pain or soreness or something, i feel like this is it. my life is over. n i wish i wasnt so anxious all the time about it but i think about how many family members my mom has lost and im scared of leaving her alone or being left alone. its only us two so its on my mind a lot

[@ElizabethRomero-jj4gt]

This episode is so touching for me bc what Cynthia was saying about having problems with communication with ur parents is so true bc I do have problems communicating with my parents and I just keep it to myself and it builds up.

gawd when maru started talking oh i was bawling i fear, i resonated with it sm. feeling like a bother, it’s something i’m still navigating n healing from bc it still happens till this day. and same with cynthia like staying in my room n not opening up bru 😭

[@amairanym.4094]

I truly never thought anyone else related when it came to fearing passing from an illness and leaving such pain to your loved ones. I too have had to grieve family members who passed from cancer and it fucking sucks. knowing other people relate brings me comfort, thank you guys for opening up

[@malietrina]

i loved every single one of your guys answer to the first question, thank you for opening up and being vulnerable with us. also just for fun I’d like to answer the question as well. I feel like just having a bad or like chaotic family where most of us arent close at all bc we can’t get along bc of so much gossip, rumors and just hating on one another definitely affects any and all relationships I have whether it’s friends or romantic and including family honestly. Like cynthia mentioned i feel like that’s why i sometimes feel emotionally unavailable, don’t know how to communicate properly and have major trust issues. Which is why i don’t personally have any close friends or family bc it’s always in the back of my mind that theyll never be as genuine as they say and show that they are. anyways sending so much love to you all🤍☺️🫂

[@allie.urista]

I love when you guys go into a deep conversation. Though I’ve the light hearted stuff, I live alone and don’t have many friends and just hearing how comforting you guys are for each other makes me so emotional. And it makes me realize I’m not the only one who thinks about stuff like this. 💞

[@ez7010]

that talk abt losing family members at the beginning hit really hard for me, mu uncle passed 5 months ago and ever since the funeral ive been pretty numb abt it but for the last couple months ive been obsessing abt death and dying and thanks to yall talking abt it im realizing it probably was bc of my uncle and unresolved feelings abt him dying(ik its obvious now but like i said i felt numb and just assumed it wasnt affecting me hindsight is 20-20) thanks for the great content and for being so willing to open up in such a personal way to a bunch of internet strangers

[@luvjeonlee5301]

[@manahil8746]

It’s crazy to see the growth y’all have gone through !! I remember watching back in 2021 but wasn’t an avid watcher and then in 2022 I saw y’all getting really consistent and got into the pod again. It’s kinda crazy how time goes by so fast but I just wanna say that I really appreciate the hard work you guys put in ❤️

[@Therealjoshh]

I love episodes like this because sometimes we just feel like we are the only ones going through things but seeing other people talk about things that you are dealing with as well makes you understand that we arnt ever really alone. We all go through a lot of similar things just not a lot of people talk about the deep stuff when sometimes we should.

Hi Maru, I went through the same thing and I became closed off as a child until I was 20 and started trying to be more vocal about my feelings bc my therapist told me that I can say anything as long as it’s not harmful to others so in dating I’ve gotten better at talking about how I feel but you still have no control over how ppl react to them so :/ but I think me even trying to be more open has made me feel better about myself and I’ve come across ppl who have tried to validate my feelings and it’s nice. I would say that you holding it in is the same as invalidating your own self. You should be with someone who wants to validate and help you talk about your feelings and vice versa like maybe you could tell them that’s one of your struggles so it doesn’t get messy.

On the topic of social media, you should not compare yourself to others because comparison is the theft of joy. love the podcast guys!
