Josh Dun's Anxiety

5/31/16
Live @ US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio
So, during my concert they played this video right after Hometown.
I *assume* that the men in the white masks are a representation of Josh's anxiety. So this is possibly Josh's version of Blurryface since they were telling him to not go back on stage.

[@jeopardy1323]

I‘m grateful to have witnessed how both of them dealt with and overcame their personal struggles with their mental health, with Tyler’s journey being documented a little bit better through his lyrics. But for me, a milestone in Josh’s journey was when he gave little speeches during the shows of the Bandito tour, in non-English speaking countries even in the respective language of the country. That must have been so nerve-racking to do that in front of a whole crowd of native speakers. And it reminded me of when he would say in interviews that he chose the drums as an instrument in order to hide behind them and avoid talking on stage. Though he always said that in light and joking manner it was clear that there was some truth behind it. So I was very proud of him in that moment and still am of both of them. As someone who struggles with their mental health themselves I very much look up to them and to how far they’ve come both in their career and their battles with their mental health.

[@crunchyfog]

@@jeopardy1323 This is so beautifully well worded and I honestly couldn’t agree more! As someone who also struggles with anxiety, I felt very inspired by seeing him persistently do his best to give those little speeches each night. And as someone on the outside, it seems like it was a great confidence boost for him as well! He’s come such a long way since I uploaded this video and it shows. Both of them have been (and still are) a major inspiration for me as well. They meant a lot to me as a kid and even now as an adult. Tyler in a sense that he’s helped me with finding the words necessary to express the way I feel. And Josh with his willingness to challenge himself mentally (and even physically) to always do that intimidating thing. I only have love for these two dudes from Ohio. :)

THE DEEP VOICE OMLITS HIS BLURRYFACE IM SO HEARTBROKEN

[@otelia3532]

ITS SO SAD BECAUSE WHEN YOU PITCH UP THE VOLUME ITS TYLER AND UGH ITS SO SAD LOL

[@nataliemonkevich4968]

Tillie noOOOOO *cries*

[@becklymakesvideos]

how do i do this? idek if i want to hear tyler saying this but still tyyy

[@archerrz24]

why did I read omlet?

[@sandydrawz1253]

I cryed when I seen it live

[@abbyjo8249]

if you can't hear what its saying (the deep voice) (in order): don't go in the kitchen you know you shouldn't what are you looking for? your alone. stay with us stay here don't go don't go don't go back on stage.

[@pulpfan8027]

thank you

[@bobfromtemmievillage2969]

You're*

[@bobfromtemmievillage2969]

But thank you.

[@idontknowhbtfm9921]

thanks

[@sadfishclub]

DONT LET THEM SEE WHAT GOES DOWN IN THE KITCHEN WHOOPS GOTTA FOB

[@oliviajardine775]

I think sometimes were so focused on Tyler and Tyler's insecurities because he makes his a little more known and he's the lead singer and he writes all the blurry face songs and he gets more interview questions that sometimes people just forget about Josh's insecurities and anxiety because he's more own a closeted feelings type of person like he less talks about his problems and he doesn't really give them a name and face. and there's nothing wrong with Tyler putting his more out there, if anything it's better that he does that but yeah

[@ghostbutser3975]

I really do wish Josh talked more though, I'm glad they included this on the tour. The fact that we know both of them have demons and Josh doesn't talk about his very much and deals with them with very little help just breaks me. I care about both of them so much and ughh I'm rambling again

[@oliviajardine775]

not like I totally get you. Like I wish they talked about them more too

[@ftdtnar]

i can understand why josh would be very closeted about it tho, especially w anxiety its just fcking terrifying. Ive only ever opened up to two close friends in my life and when i did to my parents, my dad refused to think i had anything near anxiety (or that it even exists) while my mom is trying to understand and most likely get me help in the future:; i just wanted to hug him and tell him he's not alone when they played the vid at my concert

[@moberg453]

Olivia Jardine same, he just doesn't get much attention and it's sad, we love him and this video shattered my heart ;;

[@lxttlw2587]

Dayanara V I told one of my friends- who's very confident and proud- I have anxiety and she said I was over-reacting and I'm just a bit more nervous than other people. I told my other friend- who has minor depression- and she was so nice. I was really offended, but glad SOMEONE understands, even if they have their own battle too.

[@camillaoest6264]

I'm crying so much, he's such an inspiration to other people with anxiety, the fact that he has it and still goes on stage means so much to me

[@idekk.893]

Same it breaks my heart to know that

[@camillaoest6264]

JØSH DUN IS 2 BEAUTIFUL 4 THIS WORLD Lol i luv ur name

[@idekk.893]

+Josh Dun Is Cuter Than You Thanks!! Same with yours ( got it from my fren.. She actually yelled it out at their concert and made JØSH notice and wave at her) *DREAMS TBH

[@camillaoest6264]

Yaaaas #Goals *lel*

[@idekk.893]

+Josh Dun Is Cuter Than You Ughhhhhh IKR!!

[@TwentyPaphonies]

As someone with anxiety, I really relate to Josh. He's been a hero to me since I found out about his anxiety, and how he still goes on stage almost every day. It really hurts me to see him onstage sometimes, because sometimes he has the beginnings of attack, and it breaks my heart. This video... wow. It's powerful.

[@camj2776]

preach ♡

[@meafields]

yes! same! anxiety is something I really strugglw with, so I appreciate and commend him for being brave enough to go up on stage all of the time.

[@iwantdeathanddeathwantsme815]

same

[@mileykomal]

yes. exactly.

[@spookyben9850]

Basically everybody who listens to Twenty one pilots has anxiety

[@senjalintula5700]

this is so sad:( rips my heart to a million pieces. as a person who has to deal with severe anxiety everyday this just made me sad. to think that he still goes onstage almost everyday. what a goddamn hero. I love him so much.

[@idekk.893]

OMG IKR HE'S MY INSPIRATION AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN💔😭

[@senjalintula5700]

JØSH DUN IS 2 BEAUTIFUL 4 THIS WORLD SAME😥💔

[@idekk.893]

+Senja Lintula it breaks my heart because he really means a lot to me, and knowing that he has to go through this almost every day shreds me into pieces even more, he is a huge inspiration to me and hopefully to all of the clique as well. |-/😔💔

[@aboutyous]

i find it handy to rip my heart to parts

[@marie-zi5si]

when I first saw this video I couldn't understand what the men in the white masks were saying nor understand that this is a representation on Josh's anxiety. When I watched it again, I understood. He has anxiety. Josh has a blurryface too... And yet he still goes on stage every concert. Still smiles and interacts with the crowd, and the same with Tyler. I have major respect for Tyler and Josh, for coming out on stage every night, smiling and being happy. Not only that, but they have helped me too. I don't know where just would've been without their music.

[@marie-zi5si]

I* not just

[@tylerdevetta4890]

They said that if they didn't have insecurities there would be no point in performing ahh

[@treasurehuntclubofficial]

Oh man, does this age well.

[@ashisshocked]

DOES THIS MEAN THE NEXT ALBUM WILL REVOLVE AROUND JOSH'S BLURRYFACE? I DONT KNOW

[@abiiorgabby]

IF THIS HAPPENS OMFG

[@AdamZugone]

IT FUCKING SHOULD

[@GracieandBrianna]

i heard somewhere (i forgot) that the next album may include Josh's blurryface

[@eroticarachnid]

There's a rumor that the next album will be called Death of the Enemy and it'll come out in 2017 but it's not official

[@AdamZugone]

[@jhopesbluemoon9541]

iBlurryface I KNOW I FELT BAD FOR LAUGHING

[@kenz9113]

I'm actually fairly new to the clique. I discovered them through one of my friends about 6 months ago and I immediately hated them. It wasn't that i thought they weren't talented- in fact, I thought they were the most talent band I'd ever listened to. It was just that I related to the lyrics so much that I didn't like how vulnerable it made me feel. It felt like somebody was confronting me about my history with self harm, eating disorders, and my depression and anxiety. When I started listening to them again a few weeks later, I realized that the confrontation was actually helping me. I listened to more and more of their songs and eventually i was obsessed. I was always scrolling through fan accounts, reading fanfics, or watching videos or edits of them. I love being in the clique so much and I love these boys more than I can express. Thank you for accepting me. Stay Alive |-/

[@jgabe73]

Stay alive friend. |-/

[@briannaw.2382]

+Kenzie Q Same. I used to think they were like every other artist on the radio. Boy, was I wrong... They're becoming my new favorite band.

I was always into tøp I just didn't get to know who they were as people. I spent the last like 6 hours watching a whole bunch of interviews of them and I feel like I know so much more and I care about them so much and to see this it just breaks my heart.

[@crunchyfog]

They're both truly lovely people!!! I care about the two of them a lot and I'm really glad you decided to watch their interview because they're both really interesting and it's neat knowing what kind of people they are and just listening to the two of them talk about life and other stuff!!

[@merilinalu143]

same here

Omg I couldn't relate any more than I do right now!! I was always into stressed out and ride and heathens, but I never really got to know who they were as people either!! And I watched so many videos about them too!!! Its almost been a year since I became a huge fan of them

[@crunchyfog]

Same honestly the people I was sitting next to and I were freaking out over the fact that Josh was on the big screen and we had no clue what was going on until it sunk in later that it was actually about his anxiety. Either way he seriously looked amazing oml :')

[@cloudboybebop]

I had the same situation.I wasn't smiling or laughing throughout the entire thing,but I laughed at a few jokes,and was mainly focused on what Josh was doing,other than what was being said.My hyped up concert mind couldn't process that it was about his anxiety.

I think that they were the fears anxiety brings. The voice was the anxiety. That's what I can relate to it!!

[@ardillagrams]

i can like literally relate to this so much since I'm always afraid of doing anything basically if it's in front of other people, cept for me it may be my classmates and for it's thousands of people. I'm always shaking very hard when doing that kind of thing and it's the thing I hate most about school

it's so sad but so relatable. these are the voices going through your head telling you it's worthless, there's no point, just stay in bed or in your house.

[@kimongogo4032]

[@katherinej.9233]

who else got low key scared and got chills after seeing this video but also thought that smOL BEAN JOSH MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COST MY SON DOES NOT DESERVE HIS ANXIETY TO GET TO HIM LIKE THAT UEFBNIFNV

[@zaryamoonwolf8548]

Katherine J. Mhm... as a member of the skeleton clique, I’ll protect my smoll bean at all costs.

[@minabjrndal2890]

I've always been a really anxious person, and I've had anxiety and panic attacks for as long as I can remember. And for Josh to go on stage, in front of thousands of people, ever single day need a lot of courage to do. Josh is so strong, and he is the reason I have faith that I won't have to live with anxiety for the rest of my life. I love hm and Tyler so much

[@hens4sale]

Ever since I found out Josh had anxiety, and that Jim was a service dog, I looked up to him. My anxiety sometimes feels like this too, though instead of "don't go on stage" it's "don't get out of bed" or "don't go outside". It can get overwhelming and it makes me feel comforted knowing that others out there have anxiety too

[@elizabethoconcerts]

WE LOVE YOU JOSH! YOU ARE NEVER ALONE! sorry if that was dramatic but my heart just broke so yeah

[@gracemattison3157]

I feel bad for Josh, but this video kind of scared me and the masks also wanted to make me laugh... I know Im a bad person. ByE

[@SkyeBluewoozworld]

Guys I'm shook... If you play it high-pitched, it sounds just like Tyler. TYLER IS JOSH'S BLURRYFACE

[@cicikyuu2429]

*I think* it's Tyler doing the voice *acting* and the anxiety *character*. He's not Josh's blurryface.

[@nightingale2710]

That's stupid... how can Tyler be Josh's Blurryface? He just lended his voice to the anxiety character

[@leahwhiteside1329]

Skye Blue no, no, no. It's just Josh's blurry face, but since Tyler does the voice it just sounds like him

[@serendipityfilms6769]

As a person with Anxiety, I can understand what Josh is going through. Ever since I found out Josh had Anxiety he was someone I looked up to. Josh has always helped me to keep going

[@ariannaceleste9827]

im pretty sure they played this at every show because it was in mine as well

[@crunchyfog]

It did play at every show! :)

[@sywitz]

I absolutely loved this little clip when I saw it in concert. They have a gift when it comes to putting on a good show and adding sooo much meaning and personal struggles behind their work.

[@chikenarch]

So we're getting a hint of what's coming next. That's SICK! 😂 I can relate to some of Tyler's demons like insecurities on almost anything I do (thankfully I haven't had to deal with the self-harm / suicidal thoughts part). However I definitely am more relatable to Josh's anxiety demon.

[@sisterdanielstolemyeditingtips]

as someone with anxiety just seeing josh being able to go on stage all the time is amazing and im so proud of him

[@estrellademiel_]

When I saw this for the first time at the concert, I couldn't hear anything because we were all screaming and freaking out so I didn't get to fully understand the clip. But now that I know it was Josh fighting his anxiety, it makes me happy because he did come back on stage and he decided to continue. He did not give in to his anxiety and I aspire to be like him.

[@PILLOWPILOTS]

emotional

[@lolarose6282]

as someone with awful anxiety, it helps me a hell ton to know that one of my inspirations is going through the same thing i am. i used to have 7 panic attacks a day and couldn't even go to school, but i got through it. i love this so much. also, at the 2/25/17 show , the josh's anxiety segment didn't have the voice in the background....does that mean josh defeated blurryface?

[@MiClark20]

seeing this for the first time live was breathtaking the instrumentals along with what i was seeing and the narrative is a vibe i'll never forget. i'll always love you, twenty one pilots.

[@kyliejay786]

"This is trippy as fuck. THIS IS BADASS AS FUCK." Me.

[@yuli9694]

This is honestly one of the reasons why I admire him the most. I was lucky enough to see this love and I was so confused by it but then I heard the don't go and I saw him walk out and I literally wanted to cry... Anxiety freaking sucks and I find it absolutely incredible that he overcomes this every single day. He pushes himself and doesn't let it stop him from doing what he loves the most. He really is an inspiration and definitely someone I truly admire. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time and I couldn't help but feel that not all hope is lost. It's something i can get through to. Twenty One Pilots have me the greatest night of my life when I truly needed it the most.

[@phelovepokemon]

😢 Dunno why this made me tear up so much. Get up joshy boy💙

[@majasienko7267]

honestly seeing this is heartbreaking. josh is such an inspiration to anyone and everyone who has anxiety but seeing that he still goes on stage speaks to me, saying even if you have anxiety or depression or anything, you can face it, but you dont have to do it alone. this is so amazing

[@bowieg1441]

watching this hurts so much more live, i saw them in indianapolis during their ers tour. it was nuts, you wanna hug him. i wonder if this theme will be revisited more later on in their next album, they could definitely create a story and character that roots from josh's anxiety, just like how blurryface was tied to tyler's insecurities. whatever they decide to do will undoubtedly very personal and have strong emotions connected to it. love these boys with my whole soul, i hope they find joy and peace of mind. stay alive for them. they work too hard and put too many feelings into saving us to throw our lives away at this point. they remain vulnerable and humble for our sake. |-/

[@tua1352]

i deal with anxiety almost every day. when anxiety hits me, everything feels so fast and so loud and so big and i feel so small. and he deals with it too, but still he goes on stage. he's my hero. everyone, you are not alone. please, stay alive. |-/

[@twentynecrybabys3863]

i sWEAR TO MOTHER FUCKING GOD THAT I HEARD SOMEONE SAY "BAD ACTING" IN THE CROWD AND THAT GOT ME SO FUCKING MAD IT BROKE MY HEART IN A MILLION PEICES 😭😡

[@at-jv9fm]

that clip was one of the most terrifying yet beautiful things i've ever watched. such a deep message that portrays josh's interpretation of blurryface. showing that performers have anxiety and doubts of doing their job correctly. not only is he choosing to ignore the voices but his face throughout the video was showing that he was fighting his anxiety. to not let it get the best of him. to get back on stage and face his fears. his mind. to do the thing he does best. drum.

[@sashaneumann]

I was so heartbroken when I saw that at a concert, I was like "oh no my baby"

[@realgod1006]

They played this at the concert I went to. Rip my heart, he's such a great person. ThBk you for coming on stage for us, Josh. |-/

[@kaydenshoun5615]

This tore me to shreds. I saw it live and almost cried. Ps was this in Nashville?

[@crunchyfog]

Nope, Cincinnati, Ohio! This was the first concert for ERS :)

[@marshall8826]

and look at him now! he talks to us on stage all the time! making tweets with us and having fun. it makes me smile sm to see how far hes come

[@maylaylawrence7454]

Ahhh I saw this video in Portland OR and there are some idiots making fun of him and the video but seriously, this was an emotional thing HENCE the tour title Emotional Roadshow. I respect Josh and Tyler both very much

[@flexploit]

He learned to live with his anxiety

[@callmepapi9576]

I like how it starts out with some guy with a deep voice screaming *"LETS GOOOOO"*

[@nia4509]

Video: "Don't go back on stage" Crowd: "Wait whAT?" XD

[@whisperedasmr9397]

This honestly made me cry because having anxiety sucks... I read the title and once it started I began to cry.

[@beanelson1100]

ugh at my concert people were screaming the entire time and i couldn't hear what blurryface was saying 😩

[@fjrad360s8]

Don't go in the kitchen. You know you shouldn't. What are you looking for? You're alone. Stay with us. Stay here. Don't go. Don't go. Don't go back on stage.

I'M FUCKING SPEECHLESS LORD JESUS I LOVE JOSH DUN and how he goes on stage everyday and plays for us. His playing also helps in some way with my anxiety I love him omg

[@alainathorn1314]

Omg this was from my show I hear my self laughing ( I was laughing at the guy that said this is trippy af not at the video)

[@crunchyfog]

Same! He was right behind me and I was laughing too because he was so happy to see Josh on the big screen :')

[@MissClick22]

Having severe anxiety myself, I can't even imagine going on stage. I get anxious all the time for no reason. Josh has so much courage going up on stage just to make us happy. This guy is an amazing person and an inspiration

[@yungybag4169]

"Triply as fuck badass" Meeeeeeee Sammeeeeeeee

[@kyriaanderson6564]

I was at the very first show in Cincinnati. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect and what surprises would happen. During hometown, Tyler teleported to the section next to me as sang. Immediately after the arena goes pitch black, this video starts playing. I was so confused because this was like nothing I've ever heard of. And when the voice said,"don't go back on stage." I remember crying so hard. Someone messed with the frequency of the pitch and it turned out to be Tyler's voice. May 31 is the day I vowed to stay alive. |-/

The fact that Josh has anxiety and YET he still goes on stage for his fans warms my heart

[@twentypaphonie6964]

that moment when you realize it was tylers voice....

Today i had anxiety while i was in class because of teachers,homeworks and classmates and stuff like that and they seemed like those demons with the white mask were exactly what i was anxious about (i don't even know if this thing of mine can be related to this video about Josh's anxiety) but then i came home and scrolling down on my phone on YT,amongst so many other videos,i saw this. Josh gave me strength to keep going on with school because,after all,i am a really good student and i keep going to school and he's the best drummer ever and he keeps going on stage. He made me believe that,throughout all,it ain't worth skipping school and that for him he still has to go on stage for his fans and this can help so many people with any type of anxiety. I'm so happy right now that i can count on somebody like him.

[@riverlynn1565]

god I feel bad for him but am I the only one who gets severe anxiety just watching the video?

[@SalamanderMagic]

I have anxiety and I relate to this so much! I understand what its like to always have that voice in the back of your head. This makes me love him even more because I know that he could understand me.

[@Rain.Mippet]

if you watch the show this is right after Tyler's magic trick and he's probably running back to the stage.

[@hollymollyMC]

I've been crying for the last half an hour over just josh.. I love him too much 😭

[@chloe-pc2vx]

This is so touching and heartbreaking ;-; I'm assuming that deep voice that was telling him "don't go, don't go onstage" was kind of like his Blurryface?

[@crunchyfog]

you're right! It's basically his own version of Blurryface.

[@chloe-pc2vx]

MoniBaye is it called Spooky Jim? Or am I kinda being stupid? I've really only properly been in the Clique for about 6 months and yeah

[@crunchyfog]

+ChloeIsKZbin. Nah, Spooky Jim is a nickname that was given to him in an interview a couple of years ago and it stuck!

[@dunwithlife3063]

As someone with severe anxiety, Josh is just a huge inspiration to me. It's so heartbreaking, because, sometimes, you can see him have the startings of an attack, yes he fights through it, but it's horrible. I have attacks in school, I mainly have social anxiety and I hate it because last year, there was this one teacher who, for some reason, hated me so much. I hate having to do school presentations, but I would always do them, if I was given some sort of notice, and my one condition was that I never went first or last. He didn't care, he would make surprise presentations (ones that he had made and we would have to present) and he would make me go first. It got to the point were I thought everyone was laughing at me, (it was all in my head, but it was so clear) and I screamed so loud, just yelling at the voices in my head because I didn't want to hear them anymore. My anxiety kicked in so bad that, I don't think I had the full attack, I just screamed and then passed out. So seeing that Josh is able to battle through this is motivation for me to tell myself that I can push past it all, even when I think I can't. I have so much to thank for Josh, even though I have never met him, he has helped me through so much. |-/

[@chloegulick7794]

0:42 he finally dried off

[@amarissortuno5002]

This makes me so happy that he chooses not to listen to those voices in his head, and continues to go on stage. I love you, Josh.

[@brittany5461]

why do people always say "what?" like u know

[@crunchyfog]

This was the first emotional roadshow concert so literally no one knew what was going on because this was the first time they ever played this video which is why we all said "what?!"

[@jemima7576]

this literally ripped my heart out of my body and into a million pieces, the deep voice telling him not to go onstage was his blurryface and just knowing he deals with that every day but still goes on stage and plays his heart out every night makes me so proud of him omg he's a hero ❤️

[@lovettdeleted]

this looks more like hallucinations??? why yall saying it's anxiety?

[@crunchyfog]

Josh has an anxiety disorder. The video is basically a metaphor and it's not supposed to be taken literally. The people in the masks are telling him that he's alone, they make him second guess himself, they're telling him to not go back on stage. He's mentioned in the past that he has a form of social anxiety which is why he hardly talked during interviews (he has improved and in recent interviews he's been more talkative) and also why it's sometimes hard for him to go on stage. So this is basically a visual representation of what it's like to deal with anxiety because anxiety is that little voice in the back of your head that always makes you worry, doubt yourself, and second guess things and it follows you around everywhere. That's basically why the masked people appear wherever Josh goes.

[@lovettdeleted]

MoniBaye oh sorry! i didn't know he'd revealed that he had social anxiety. i suppose i was just going by my own experience. my social/general anxiety is often paired with auditory hallucinations and this video reminded me a lot of that!

[@Criskaos]

+MoniBaye Thank you very much for the explanation. I didn't know Josh had anxiety. I have, and it's horrible.

[@Smilestyles123]

+MoniBaye Do you remember where he said he had Anxiety? Like in an old video, interview, or something else? I'm just curious

[@ButSheDid]

^^^

[@elenixiraki9933]

This is so sad and amazing at the same time..A very clear presentation of anxiety..

[@fallenangelrivers5479]

Oh wow...this makes a lot of sense. Josh is scared that he is going to screw up or that no one will like him and his demons are telling him that, but he knows it's not real

[@racheldelia1929]

this tore my heart apart. anxiety is hard, man. he's a real inspiration

[@isabellagold4918]

Guys....this sounds familiar...the lyrics of My Blood... Stay with me No You don't need to run

[@mistamemewide]

This is why I love josh, he's me. It's heartbreaking that people have anxiety. I cried during this. #StayAlive

[@taylerluvsari]

this is hurting my heart

[@jemmaserafina6684]

this is so important i love that they shared this, anxiety is the worst thing to always have to fight against

[@jemmaserafina6684]

love josh and tyler so much. ♡

[@emmaberti9730]

This makes me want to cry I don't get why people are cheering

[@crunchyfog]

Hey! I just want to let you know that this was my first time ever going to see TØP live. This was also the first ever concert for Emotional Roadshow. The main reason we were all laughing and cheering was because this was our first time ever seeing this video. No one knew what was going on. We were all just really happy and excited to be there and just the fact that there was a video of josh on the big screen because during concerts it's usually focused on Tyler so we were happy to see that there was a video of Josh. Since we were all really happy at that moment none of us really understood what was going on. At that time we just thought they were showing josh getting water and we didn't have that much time to process what was going on. Plus the other reason we were laughing was because the guy behind us was so happy the entire time that he was screaming at the top of his lungs because he was just so excited to be there. So I'm sorry if it came across as disrespectful!We were just happy

[@meltyourheadachescallithom3961]

Because their scared.. Or, maybe it's me but whenever I'm scared or I don't know what to do I start laughing hysterically and crying a little.. Idk I wasn't there maybe it seemed exciting or scary to them too

[@graceb1628]

He does this for us, he has so much anxiety but he still goes on stage to make us happy. This is why I love Josh. He goes through so much fear to see us.

[@maritinakarasiki1866]

what the hell? the croud was so excited! and the video's so sad!

[@vala.7463]

I relate to this a lot since I have anxiety as well. I am so proud of him to go on stage and fight it. He is a huge inspiration to me and so many other people! Thank you Josh

[@grassyfieldpilts7501]

"What do we say to anxiety when it bothers Josh?" "Um....Freaking Jerk!" "Yeah , that's right, freaking jerk" but seriously anxiety sucks.😕😋

[@emmaobrien1278]

I love how everyone was instantly concerned. It makes me so happy. We love you Josh❤️

[@sari-4563]

this makes me real sad....like my smol bean josh is suffering...too much i don't like that...i love my smol beans❤

[@Rune_Wave_]

He needs a hug. As many as possible. We love you Josh. Thank you.
