i love someone who hates themselves [cc]

[@WiserOdin]

It really is a struggle, and sometimes I do feel like giving up, because I have someone like that.

There is a spanish actress who said "children only need kisses and food, the rest they will figure out by experience" as someone who lacked the first i cant stop thinking about that quote

[@MatthewKingpin]

Great video, important message to hear for many people out there Really well done take on a sensitive topic

[@anabsentprofessor6120]

“The among us disease” nooooooooooooooo, don’t do that, I wasn’t expecting to get murdered in the middle of a heavy topic

[@anabsentprofessor6120]

Aside from… that This is a legitimately beautiful video, thank you. I might not have been in exactly the same situation, but I have been struggling against someone who refuses to love themselves for the past few months, and it’s always good to know that you’re not alone. Cheers, Cassius. Thanks for being here, and tell your friend that even though we don’t know them we want them to succeed. Every little bit counts.

I was in a similair position to you, with my partner of 2 years suffering from a kind of natural baseline depression due to his brain's inability to produce happy chemicals, but after living with him for a while, insisting he gets properly medicated for ADHD and anxiety and getting him a job in a pharmacy where he feels like he's making a positive change in the world: he's doing a lot better now. People just need something to anchor them to living. Otherwise, what's the point? Also big ups to not having to justify mutual desire.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I finally found time to watch everything! The sharing part: I've got a friend who matters a ton to me who's weighed down by depression all the time. We always have a great time with D&D but those moments of seeing his genuine happiness are few and far between. I still wrestle with the fact that I can't just brute force his healing process. No matter how much I talk to him he won't get a therapist until he wants to and nobody can change that but him. The praise part: This video's helped me understand things and the situation better. I love the more laid-back feel of it and I will from now on be using "tools to not feel like shit" as a permanent addition to my vocabulary. Onto the next one!

When I first found your channel on the Stellaris video I didn't expect to be listening to well thought out videos about topics sincerely and well articulated, especially not on a second channel of all things. But to hopefully actually add to the conversation and not simply sing praises, yeah, I actually did date a person of somewhat similar affliction. In my case, I was pushed away, and I hadn't talked to them in forever. But eventually we did reconnect, and they had gone and received help in the meantime! Although, it isn't perfect. They still do despise themselves, and frankly I don't blame them considering what happened to end the relationship, which I hope is understandable to keep private. Even still, they didn't remove themself from the world and frankly, considering they believed they deserved death before, I think you really spoke to that. Also, I'm glad you brought up the illogical nature of feelings. It feels weird sometimes but frankly the brain just does funny stuff to you in the presence of certain things, be they people, traits of people or what have you.

[@cassius_scrungoman]

you can just sing my praises, i don't have any problem with that its a nice break from people telling me to kys cause i flashed "[dying light]'s story is awful" on screen for 5 seconds to establish the context that the finale of the game is a loony toons chase sequence ive been really surprised how many people connected with this video, it was something i made very in the moment from the heart and did not expect anyone else to be able to relate turns out relationships are consistently hard, who knew

[@dionysus6081]

Some how I have to act as a therapist for a few people in my life (people in almost the same boat as me) but as someone who (very fortunately) dosnt have first hand experience with truely awful mental health disorders I find it very hard to help them at times. Videos like this have been very helpful in my understanding of mental health disorders and have immensely helped me with helping the people close to me.

[@eldershire.]

I've been/am there, sort of. In this case I did date the person from the outset and only from there did I learn that he severely hated himself. I don't want to super go into his history in public but to keep the gorier details aside, he had completely accepted his mother's narcissism and applied that to everything bad that happened to him. He still does to this day. But the biggest mistake I ever made in this relationship was listening to people around me telling me to just end it and ignore him, when I didn't want to. Now I may have another chance to be there for him again like I've always wanted to, but he may never forgive me. I don't claim to know what's best, I don't know as much as you do. But I can say that you should always take in mind how much someone knows about the situation before you take their advice.
