[@marloeslovestea]

I am someone that have a really bad anxiety disorder, for 2 years I hardly left the house, or got out of my hometown. This year I moved into my own apartment, got back into driving my car again, got a cat, spoke at my grandma's funeral, lost 4kg and was even able to visit the gynacologist. A year ago I didn't think I was able to do these things. I do have a very long way to go, but if I can do it, you can do it too. To whoever is reading this, better days will come ❤

[@c4tz4life]

This really gives me hope beacuse this was my worst year ever, a stopped going out, hanging with my friends, stopped driving car, stopped doing anything for my university and i only have my masters thesis to write but for a whole year i didn't do a thing. Feels like i am behind in life, and like life is not for me. So thank you for this, it gives me hope that this too shall pass. 🍀

[@Hyper_Fixation]

The part about comparing yourself to your younger self hit hard. I was healthy as a kid but am now disabled. Thinking about how much "more" my younger self might have achieved always gets me down. I'll never fit into society's boxes but I'm learning to accept that. I'm still here. This year I discovered a love for baking and that has brought a lot of happiness

[@maliedelgado2658]

I feel this exactly. Having so hard a time letting go of all the achievements, the health, the joy, all of the good things that it feels like climbing a mountain to achieve now.

[@maliedelgado2658]

Side note: baking bread is my personal favorite 🍞🥖🥯

[@abbigailshelford-buckingha5550]

I also have the same issue, I was healthy up until I was 23, now sometimes I can’t move, I feel your pain but I just want you to know that you’re not alone ❤

[@kelseyjasso6399]

Susie, the reason I watch you is because you are so REAL, honest, and relatable. Your videos are so comforting to watch, it just feels like talking to a friend after a long day. You give the best advice in these little chats! It's so refreshing to watch you after seeing so much fake bs on social media. You have definitely helped me get through some tough times, and I'm very grateful for that. Keep doing what you're doing!!! I love you!!!

Couldn’t agree more

[@jessandd03]

This got me teary eyed. I just turned 32, quit my shitty job almost a year ago, and am currently just existing. I have no idea what to do, and have been questioning if I even know who I am anymore because I am just so lost. And this is coming from someone who has very limited social media to compare to. The fact that I got up today and am a good person was enough to make me emotional because these days that's about all I have.

[@Debby92h]

Hi! As a "lost" 32 old like you (unemployed and moved 300km away from my family since January, struggling with a light social anxiety and very low self-esteem helped just by my boyfriend) I just wanna say you that we don't have to know everything at anytime of our lives. And that's ok ❤ There are some people who know exactly what they want in life and work hard for achieving it. But people like me and maybe you, who don't know where we want to be and what we want to do or who can't achieve what we want in this moment, we don't have to feel "lost". We are just trying to find our place in the world and in our heads. All we can do is go with the flow of our lives one day at a time and make the best out of it while we are waiting until the moment in which we will be satisfied with ourselves. And it doesn't matter how old we are. Don't be afraid of being "lost". Take it as a possibility! The only thing you can really do is to go out in the world and look for as many variables as possible. Talk to new people to open new doors, go in new places, take part of a hobby group you like. It could be singing, painting, reading, talking about movies, playing boardgames... Everyone has a place on this Earth, even if it's not the place we expected. And it hasn't to be the place others are expecting for us! Be kind to your feelings, don't fear them❤ And make one step at a time to change your point of view. Your life will slowly change and you will be so proud of yourself. You already have to be proud of you for being a good person and for hang in there! I send you a big hug from Italy (that's why my Enghlish might not be so good😅) 🫂❤

[@chanellemercier8741]

@@jessandd03 I'm 42 and was still unsure of who I am or want to be, but life is slowly choosing for me, now I'm a mum, and have discovered I'm great with kids so am going to Tafe to become a teachers aid, I've been pretty much unemployed for the last 10 yrs,( been through addiction, trauma, U name it) had occasional casual jobs in housekeeping, bars and restaurants, but was always a bit of a floater, my granny always said "ur not grown up till 40" and I believe she was right, give it time, just hang in there 'life will find a way'.🩷

[@sweetinocentanu]

I am in my late twenties, I quit my job a month ago. I studied 7 years, secured multiple degrees for this job, achieved my dream job with my dream salary but the work environment was extremely toxic. Not only was it physically and mentally exhausting, it took away my happiness. I was crying everyday after returning home. The job felt like a nightmare. I just wanted an out so badly that I resigned and never went back. I live with my parents and I feel I am disappointing them every day. I don't like my career that I gave almost a decade studying for. All the achievements throughout the years only to fail. I am too exhausted to change careers and I feel shitty cuz I dont want to do anything at all. But for the last two weeks I made a promise to atleast get fit. I am on the healthier side (fat) even though I eat lesser than average and I am not diagnosed with anything which should effect my weight. I do have chronic illness that causes inflammation in bones.. But I have always been fat, I used to starve myself to have avg weight. I love my body but I have let it rot cuz I dont mind being fat. These days though I do feel, Ill truly love my body if I keep being active and care for it. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone, but even if it everything feels lost, we still have something we can control or atleast try to. This too shall pass!

[@jacquieb4129]

35 y.o. here, you hit the nail on the head, we will never again be as young as we are today. Began vocal lessons for the first time ever after being terrified for the past 20 years.

My favorite saying for comparison: Flowers are beautiful and so are Christmas lights and they look nothing alike. I really love that cause it’s so true ❤

[@Msleonoraful]

I like to say all dogs are beautiful and yet a whippet and a golden retriever look nothing alike. Just like dogs humans are diverse but all beautiful in our own way

[@rosyface_]

Susie, as someone approaching 40 (37), I can assure you that something snaps into place in your thirties and you look back at the hot mess of your twenties and dont want that back. Your thirties are wonderful and you’re taking the first steps in terms of your mindset to celebrate those years when you eventually get there. The desire to compare myself vanished when I hit my mid thirties and I’m just so good with who and what I am, and I promise your best years are in front of you.

This year, I left an old job with a long commute and moved to a new job with a shorter commute. Everyone has been so supportive and welcoming. Because I have more time available, I joined two community music ensembles and fell in love with music again. I also embraced more of my independence and feel in such a great place mentally. 31 will be the best yet.

[@angelagomori7323]

I'm probably older than your mom, but I hope to have self-assurance like you have when i grow up :) Loved the chat. I picked up knitting recently and when i catch myself mindlessly scrolling through videos on my phone, I put the phone down and take out my knitting. The scarf i'm currently knitting will be sent this week to a friend's granddaughter in LA who is turning 5....gives me motivation to finish the scarf since I'll be giving it away. Putting my phone down is SO good for my mental health...really need to put it down more often. thank you Susie

[@michaelareilly2019]

Comparing yourself to your younger self, yes! I feel this! I just turned 30 and have moments of comparing myself to who I was when I was 22. Thinking I was so much more social and extroverted and funny. But the grass was not that much greener when I really reflect. You hit the nail on the head

[@madi.syring]

@@michaelareilly2019 I think as women so much of a focus is placed on our youth and staying young. It’s so easy to fall into comparison against our younger selves, I do it all the time. When Susie mentioned feeling like younger Susie had a spark and light that she couldn’t get back, I nearly cried. I have felt that time and time again, when in reality I’m still me and I still shine, I just can’t always see it. The same for you! I love you!

[@Rachelle-g1y]

So much gratitude for this video. I’m older than you Susie. So it’s the parenting videos that haunt me. Constantly second guessing everything I do, don’t do and the things I say and don’t say. I feel like allot of teens and people use these platforms to bash their parents and upbringings. Trying to teach parents what they should have done or shouldn’t have done. Or parents showing only their perfect parenting ways. Making me constantly wonder how my kids will one day perceive theirs. I’m constantly trying to improve. Terrified that time is going by too fast. That I will miss something important. Even when I’m told by everyone I know I’m a great mom. You made me aware that social media is why I am constantly in my mind about the small stuff. All parents are humans doing this for the first time. Becoming a parent doesn’t make you become perfect. All we can do is try our best.

[@m-wonder]

Im just gonna tell you this video, this topic in particular, is sth I really needed rn. Sometimes we overlook (and sometimes stop doing at all) hobbies and stuff we genuienly enjoy because they do not seem "really productive enough" , bc they wont make any money, but those are most important things to keep on doing, its what makes the difference between us and a machine, basically. Just doing stuff for the sake of doing them, bc we love it. It can really help with depression, anxiety, etc, just having sth you truly enjoy, just for you, not to show anyone. Something I really enjoy is drawing, and I havent done it in a hot minute.

[@madamz7]

My favourite video from you ever. The part where you’re doing your makeup, you just spoke about everything my brain has been worrying about for so long now. Not only do I compare myself to others, but I compare my current self to my old self so much and that’s what hurts more than anything. Thank you for helping me realise I need to accept me for who I am now, for how much I’ve grown and that I’m a woman, no longer a teenager anymore. ❤️

[@immagrander1]

This brought me to tears as a young stay at home mom I’ve lost myself in just being a mom and a housewife and often compare myself to the girls I used to know because they’re out there going to school and going to work and it makes me feel like I’m not doing anything important so thank you for the real chat love you girl 🥹🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@dianne9365]

This makes me sad that raising children is not considered as important a job as doing some mindless office work let's say. Being at home with my young children was the best time of my life, and once I had to get back into the rat race I felt so miserable. I think social media has created this era of 'fomo' and life was so much better before it (just heard Susie say her parents said the same). You are doing a VERY important job and try to keep reminding yourself of that.

[@jeffjeff29]

This video spoke to my soul. I have severe anxiety, depression, ADHD, and was recently diagnosed with ASD. I felt guilty for so long about things that are easy for most people being so hard for me like leaving the house, brushing my teeth or doing chores. I see videos of people saying you need to "hustle" and it makes me feel like crap because I know I'm not capable of doing as much as they are. I appreciate you so much for making this.

[@lafemmeluna]

Same boat here. You're not alone. The best thing I can recommend is to give yourself grace and compassion; we didn't choose to be the way we are and all we can do is the our best, even though that may look different for us than for a NT. ❤

this year I went on a really hard backpacking trip and pushed myself physically, I processed over $600,000 in grants to local nonprofits at my job, I hit and then surpassed my goodreads reading goal for the first time ever and have read 14 books this year to date, I saw the northern lights, I lost friends and gained new ones, I saw the solar eclipse, I learned how to use a juicer, I learned how to hunt, I went to concerts, I learned how to can food, I went to a renaissance festival, I went caving, and I get to eat so many yummy croissants!! life is better than we think!!!!

I’m so happy you put this video out. The past 2 and a half years have been a lot with my aunt having breast cancer, passing away, and then caring for my grandma for the past couple months cause she was diagnosed with breast cancer too. I just turned 31 and since the pandemic I’ve been constantly comparing myself to when I was in my early 20’s. I would always message friends and go out and do things. Now I’m a homebody and barely put any make up on or keep up with my friends. Yesterday I took a big step in starting antidepressants. I’m looking forward to gain interest in hobbies, and taking more time to go out or talk to my friends again.

Aw this is the best. I cried for being called a good person lol Susie I feel like you were so open with us when your plans for moving away didn't go as expected and that was really comforting to me. You inspired me to be grateful for where I am now even though it's not what I had planned. You are a real one!! My niche hobby I like doing is going into shops that smell good and just sniffing all the perfumes or candles or tea blends. I don't buy anything I just sniff it lmao. Also lately I've just been making random stuff out of polymer clay for no real reason. It's easy and cute. I think I'm gonna make some little accessories for my nieces dollhouse like a tiny cookie jar.

Thank you for keeping it real Susie! I have been having the same comparison problem. I inherently know that comparison is the thief of joy but it’s hard to feel good enough in the age of social media and being 29 I keep seeing all of the things people are doing and have accomplished before 30. It feels like time is ticking and it’s hard to enjoy the moment. This year I invested in my hobby of ceramics and I have been taking classes. 😊. Love your content and keep it coming ❤

Hey Sussie, first of all I love your videos, they always make me so happy and motivated. I needed this one anyway to hear a little bit about not comparing yourself. I've been running for six months now and enjoy it so much, yet I find myself comparing myself to people who run faster and then I'm still not a “runner” at the pace I do for a 10k run. I enjoy drawing digitally and being creative and notice that this is the “only” moment when I can actually just be myself, without worrying about things. By watching your video now I notice that I just need to do this more often and not compare myself to other people's lives, I'm also going to try to be less on social media so I wouldn't be “confronted” with it all the time. Thanks for just being yourself and being so open about it.

This year has been a roller coaster for me. Lots of good but also a small amount of very bad. My parents house burned down when a wildfire engulfed half of my hometown this summer. I fell deeper and deeper in love with music, starting to learn drums and diving deeper into guitar which I had already been playing for over a year. I taught a student in my profession through her final practicum and felt the pride of seeing her get her license and be hired at my hospital. I bought a house as a single woman in her 20s, with the cost of living in Canada being a struggle.

I find you super real and relatable, and also find it super refreshing that you acknowledge the toxicity of social media ❤ we have a real queen right here!!✨✨ I suffer from IBS and PCOS and always feel so motivated by you 🤗 comparison is really a devil and can suck happiness out of you, in recent times I've been on that journey as well, to stop conparing myself to others, be it in terms of their lifestyle, body shape or behaviour. It's my life not theirs. I think acknowledging all that is the first step in the right direction 🎉 I love being a couch potato, being mostly introverted, playing video games but also love playing badminton. And while before I'd beat myself up for being less social than others, I now know that it doesn't matter and I'd feel horrible otherwise 😂 So proud of you though, and love to see you crushing it for YOU and sharing it with us ❤

It’s a hobby I’ve picked up this year after not being able to understand it for the past two years in a dv relationship.

I started to cry from 10:30. I'm struggling since I remember with comparing myself to others and I had a tough year with moving 300km away from my family (I know for a America or other countries it's not much, but in Italy it's a not so simple thing) and being unemployed since January. I always compared me to other's bodies, their achievements, their healthy choices. I don't have social media by choice. I just use KZbin and Whatsapp. You are one of my helping role model just to remember that it's ok to not being perfect, we're human! WTF!!😔 And now I'm trying to get into healthy habits for the umpteenth time (exercising at least 3 times a week, eating less sweets, eating more vegetables and fruits). Thank you for your words, you can't understand how powerful they are for me. And thank you for being you. I'd love to have a friend like you ❤

[@laurahill2511]

Thankyou for being open Susie - I struggle with this comparison alot too. I've recently started using the Opal app to block social media during the work day and the majority of the day on the weekends because it was making me so depressed just rotting my brain. It's helped alot! I find I go outside, go for a walk or sit quietly after work or read instead of drowning on my phone

الكلام مره لامسني دمعت وانا اسمع وحسيت بتحسن الكلام كان مطمئن جدًا بالذات بفترة وزمان كذا مليان مقارنات الكلام جد موثر ومريح جداً ❤❤❤

[@spacefreak319]

The hobby I like the most is drawing my thoughts, like drawing objects that kind of descripe my feeling at that moment. I find that therapeutic for me to be honest. Maybe I can try doing that this weekend. ❤

This was a really wonderful video Susie, and one that I needed to hear 🤍 I've had a consistent issue with comparison, and is the sole cause of the anxiety I have which has been such a burden in my everyday life. It's only when you block out the noise, focus on the things that make you happy, that you become more connected with your own personal journey in life, instead of obssessing whether the things you do in life are to the standards that you see online. That little pep talk really hit the nail on the head and is a very important message that I think myself and many others will benefit hearing 🥰 Been a long time subscriber of yours and absolutely enjoy watching your videos Susie. I wish you all the best and see amazing things going for you xx

[@darafreeman4240]

I LOVE anything crafty and like diy! I love the feeling of making something and then being like umm wow I made that!!

[@shantiaselesele]

ngl i got a little emotional during your grwm chit chat, it was literally everything i needed to hear! 💗 ive been struggling with my pcos symptoms so it gave me some hope to keep pushing and take each day as it is, have always loved your videos Susie 🫶🏽 would love to see more content on pcos friendly meals & life tips x

[@cmal_922]

This video is an absolute favourite of mine!! I’m proud of myself for training for my first triathlon. I haven’t even completed it yet but honestly the training itself is an achievement to me 🎉

[@livvyloo333]

susie you have such a beautiful soul. thank you for this.

[@PazGonzález-q2e]

It has been a long time since i watch your videos, and this one meant a lot. It must be hard being forced to social media because it is your Job but thank you for every single video you post. You are doing great ❤

[@Denezhka]

Thank you so much Susie. Your videos give me so much comfort. You are the nicest and most genuine girlie that i'm always happy to watch.

[@user-bo1dk2ej9t]

Hi susie, I don't really comment much but thank you for this video (warning ed and depression) I had the same struggle 1 year ago and I was like so obssesed with people their lives and their body's that I developed an ed with my depression. It was the worst combo ever. I wanted to k*ll myself so many times that I almost drowned myself. After that I decided that is was time for me to life like I want to live. I deleted tiktok and I unfollowed everyone that made me feel insecure or sad or depressed. After that the journey was long and hard but it defenitely helped a lot! Now im in therapy and I finally got into my college. And im better everyday but I still have my ups and downs. I cried watching this video and thank you for everything you do. I really aprecciate the things you do and how you do it❤

[@pewdielover92512]

Yes! Thank you so much for sharing this. I know for a fact many people needed to hear it and feel validated and relate to what you’re going through. I’m currently trying to use my phone less and it’s so difficult! I honestly love your videos because you’re more honest/ unfiltered than many other KZbinrs. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@VeronikaWenkeova]

Loved that self love "speech"...got me emotional and made me feel so good, thank you for sharing! ❤

[@mylapierce20]

i just wrote an essay about the effects of over consumption of empty media on our mental health!! after beating cancer i’m in my 3rd stint at college and this will be my first time finishing a semester! it’s been stressful but i’m still finding little bits of time to do hobbies like crochet and painting even though i have much less time for it

[@emiliamorgan6283]

Hi Susie, I’m 18 and have been religiously watching your KZbin videos for quite a few years now. Your content is literally the biggest comfort to me and in a way I see you as the older sister I never had lol. Growing up is SO hard and there’s still so much more to come. I hope you know how much you positively influence young people like me.❤

[@franzi6325]

I never comment on your videos - but I just wanna say we're in this together girls. We got this. Thanks Susie for the reality check! Love from Germay.

[@MissMagoo61]

I always love watching your videos, they make me so motivated to sort myself out and to feel better about myself, especially if I work myself up about not being motivated or productive on some days. Been watching you for years and because we are similar age, I feel as though I can relate to you so much, keep slaying Susie x

[@okamanokama]

I've had clinical major depression for the last... Oh, I don't know, five years? For four of those I lost all enjoyment for my previous hobbies, and could only just concentrate on surviving enough to get through to the next day without causing too much problems and grief for those around me (the first year or two it was fine, but ppl generally expect you to get over things after that, so I've been masking a lot). That said... I deactivated my fb account pretty early on, because I KNEW if I tried to keep up with everyone I probably would have cracked completely. Only this past year have I dipped back into social media, limiting it to just catching up on what friends and family are doing, but nothing that involves comparing myself to others. I've also finally been able to do my hobbies and get enjoyment out of them again and not feel like they were a chore. It's not back to how it used to be, but I'm chugging along. Something I achieved this year: a big project our work was contracted to do, very finicky and delicate. I'd just about finished with a day or two to spare when suddenly a forgotten pile of work was found and thrown at me. After profusely swearing for a good hour, I got that shit done - with an hour to spare, so Friday night drinks kicked off early 🎉 We've gotten only positive feedback from it too, so that's going on the CV 💅

[@carolinebrown8247]

God this video was top tier💕 you are so relatable and funny...the straight guy goodbye moment was 🫶🏻👌🏻🫶🏻 lol love your videos!! I think you're one of the few KZbinrs who actually distract from my anxiety!! Everything you post is so sunny and real. Never change girlllll🥰🥰🥰

[@chanellemercier8741]

Yes agree! The straight guy goodbye was greatness.

[@bonillalatte]

thisv ideo meant so much to me and found me in a time where i really needed it, love you

[@kateynichols1112]

YES SUSIE this is the side of susie that i love, ngl i kind of noticed that you’d slowly started revolving your personality around internet trends so i’m glad you’ve found your way out of it ❤️ i agree and love everything you said in this little chat!! it was so wholesome it lowkey gave me lizzie mcguire vibes haha. i’m wishing you all the best for the acting classes!! i’ve been wanting to join an acting class all year but haven’t due to money and procrastination lol so this kind of motivates me to finally get out there and just try it out.

[@Dani.P.F.]

Photography is my thing. I love it so much! Music and singing heal my soul. And horses are great.

[@JessieeCar]

I love photography too! But as the years go by, the act of going out and doing it has slackened. I shoot mainly landscape and nature when I don't have pet shoots available. What do you shoot?

[@Dani.P.F.]

@@JessieeCar Wildlife and nature! But I want to get into landscape, dogs/horses/pets and people. I'd love to turn this into a career one day.

[@JessieeCar]

@Dani.P.F. oh that sounds great! Yeah its a dream to do it full time isn't it? When you're transitioning into a new subject, you can always offer free shoots for people just to get your name out there. Have you got a facebook/instagram set up to share around?

[@mrsckenway]

I love cooking and gardening as my hobbies, haven’t been able to do the latter bc it’s now winter here, but damn if it hasn’t been exhausting this year trying to keep up on running a house. It makes me so happy that I don’t waste time on social media endlessly scrolling, and my best advice would also be to put the phone down!!

[@jeanthomas7523]

I love crocheting but I haven't done it in a while. My friend just had a baby, and I love making baby blankets, so I think I'll make a baby blanket again :) thanks for the chat, Susie!

[@moomoomonmae]

SUSIE! THIS👏 IS 👏 EVERYTHING👏and this is now one of my fave susijtodd videos! Everything you said just brought me back down to earth and its something i really needed to hear during this time. it is so important to be grateful for the amazing life you have now, the ability to use social media to its advantages but to also just be aware and know when to step back, make it a safe place for yourself! like you said. You are literally my favourite influencer and THIS IS WHY! Keep up the amazing positive energy, it makes my day

[@SophiaGatzos]

Susie, I'm not even kidding; you are my favourite KZbin creator ever. I look forward to your videos every single week. You make me feel comfortable and safe, and you helped me love my body. Thank you for all that you do. Cheers from Toronto Canada!

[@kaaylaah]

You’re so wise and smart Susie! So happy for you that you’re spending time on your hobbies without our prying eyes! We love you! ❤

[@iamsonnmi]

[@Lancechristine22]

[@Composery]

[@Lafresitacece]

I have the best time when I’m roller skating 🥹 hearing you say “ I’m a woman now, I was a teenager back then “ made me feel so much better 🥹🫶🏼 I try to remind myself of that every time I start being hard on myself when I don’t fit into the teenage pants 🥹
