Never take the comment section that seriously. There are a lot of people who love to post terrible things because it makes them feel superior. There are trolls everywhere. Remember, most people enjoy the video and don't comment. You have to be inspired to go out of your way to post a positive comment. It is much easier for the trolls to post hate and get the reaction they want. They want attention. Posting terrible things gets them attention. It is rather sad.

People are evil Erika! They are very, very evil, and they will be jealous of your success, and they will do everything to tear you down to their levels. Recently I watched another video where rude comments drove a young lady to a tragic end. People leaving rude comments are diseased in their own mind and too narcissistic to realize that they are their own worse person. You do not have an issue period! You are the greatest breath of fresh air and make so many people smile and happy! Be you and please continue to talk and post videos. We love you!!! Have someone else sort through and read your comments. By the way, my daughter doesn't like honey in her baked goods either.

[@klaus2t703]

I agree, if .... you put the word "Some" in front of your comment. Not all people are evil. Hopefully I´m not.

[@semperfi6801]

​@@klaus2t703 True, great point. Some people. I've watched some really beautiful people lately on youtube that are simple, vibrant, and just living a wonderful life and it's weird how we enjoy watching others live their lives but it's peaceful, and brings me joy to see genuine, real, honest people with huge hearts sharing and having the confidence to share. I was probably a little mad in making that comment because I just watched another video where a young, vibrant, beautiful KZbinr took her own life in front of a train due to cyber bullies, hateful comments, and those evil people trying to tear her joy apart. Not only were they successful but they also tore the joy out of her many viewers and her family. I don't want to see another person similar to Erika, or anyone for that matter, succumb to the hatred that some people have, but at least accept the reality that they do exist and have a plan for how you will deal with the insults and hate when it comes. You know. Life on this planet is too short to make it even shorter. ​ @klaus2t703 These people like Erika have followers like you and me that love their content and no, we're not evil. Not even close.

[@klaus2t703]

@@semperfi6801 Another point: The Internet is international. And in other regions of the world there are different habits. Some people become aggressive when corrected. In other countries they are grateful that they are taught the right things. Therefore, every comment must be treated with caution. What you may find offensive is not necessarily meant that way.

[@rlf1211]

As I've gotten older I realized that I busted my butt to be happy. I don't think I ever truly achieved it. I've since figured out that what I really wanted was to be content. I had a new house and new car, 2 kids and a dog. I didn't need a new house or a new car but they looked good. I thought I needed it then and worked long hours to keep them. I was tired and grumpy most of the time. When I was a kid I usd to sit on the banks of the river and watch water go by. I was content. Now I sometimes go sit there for the same reason.

[@gerardjanssen]

" I don't think I'm dumb" OMG are you kidding? . You are more intelligent than 90% of the population. It shows in your articulation, just because you talk a bit different than most, you pause momentarily, is actually quite charming, you put thought ahead of rambling on.

[@lucasfernando4097]

ADHD isn't really about attention! It's about the feeling of reward. It's about the very thing that makes us stick to something and do it, and ultimately, what gives us what we like to label "purpose". Get into philosophy. Read about the existentialists. Read Albert Camus' "The Stranger". Maybe it'll give you some insight? Yes, some people seem to be born with natural abilities. As someone who is trying to get a degree in Mathematics, trust me, I feel stupid and dumb every. single day. I will never be like the great mathematicians, but you know what? I'm still ahead of 99.9% of the people around me. It feels good to be in the 0.1%. I wanted to do or be something not everybody does. I wanna do something few people can do. Why? Because I want to feel needed, and perhaps you want to feel needed too? I want to feel useful. Don't you? I want to feel like I have an ability that not many people have. It doesn't mean something that only I can do, but that few people an do, and that's good enough. That's why, I, at 42 years old, decided to go back to university after dropping out twice! On top of that, a late diagnose of ADHD lifted a lot of the guilt I've felt all these years. Don't discard that possibility. If anything, try to "rule it out" early in your life. Don't wait until you're old like me to finally think "hmm... maybe I do have ADHD afterall". Have you considered joining the Army? Navy? Marine Corps? Not for you? You don't like guns? Idk. Give it a shot... Good luck.

[@macgonzo]

I'm autistic (diagnosed) and I didn't think for a moment that you are autistic. Having said that, I don't think that being autistic means there's something "wrong" with me, it just means my brain processes my experience of the world differently from other people who aren't autistic. There's nothing "wrong"with that, in fact being able to see the world differently can have it's benefits. In my experience, happiness is not worth looking for. Happiness comes and goes, and that is natural. No one is happy all the time. What you want to aim for is contentment. Be content with what you have, who you are, where you are, etc, etc. If you are content, then you're in a place of balance between being happy and sad, and being in that place of balance means you're neither sad nor happy, but open to both. It's important, sometimes, to be sad. And sometimes happiness comes your way, but they will never stay. This idea that you have to strive for happiness will only, ironically, make you sad, because it's impossible to be happy all the time. You're certainly not dumb, far from it. I see someone who wants to explore life, to explore who they are, to experience all the things. You may have self doubts, but that's normal at your age. Self doubt is important, because it points the way to self growth, self development, to self knowledge... Self doubt is the fastest and most effective way to overcoming self doubt. All those people that lack self doubt scare me... To be sure of things, without having done any of the work needed to be sure of things, is self delusion. That's really effing bad. Your path is the right one, never doubt that.

[@StephenLoberg]

No one is perfect and everyone has flaws whether it be physical or psychological. There are so many people that hate themselves and love to pick out negatives they think they see in other people.

Ignore those that spread negativity, they hate themselves.

Have you tried joining any clubs (book club, toastmasters, etc.) or maybe doing some volunteer work (library, animal shelter, etc.)?

[@two4.six8]

I've worked as a therapist with a lot of neurodiverse people for decades. I don't get the sense that you are autistic. And as for why people might think so? You are still a bit of a blank slate, so they naturally see a bit of themselves or someone else they know in you. Then, they fill in the "unknowns" about you with the "knowns" from their own situations without realizing it, further strengthening the association. It's something that therapists have to guard in themselves as they work with new clients. Otherwise, they are certain that every client they see has the same thing they do within five minutes of meeting them.

[@Zabiru-]

Regarding the ADD/ADHD/Autism thing. There is a lot to what you said about medicating people to "fix problems", but I have a little bit to add personally. Human beings in general love to pin things down to sort it in their own mind if not physically. It's why we put a name to things, it's why we have categories to make sense of the world and all its various bits and bobs. If you combine that with social media you unfortunately often get snap judgments (I'm as guilty of this as anyone) and hot takes. That's not the entire reason, of course, some people are just rude and.. insert very bad words of your choice (that I am for a change not going to use). But I firmly believe what I described is part of it.

it's a good 2-cents-think people also want to diagnose "you" in order to relate to "you". they feel the need to find problems in others to normalize themselves. also there are just jackasses out there trying to mess with "you"… hahaha. glad you have the strength to continue to be yourself. (p.s. if you care to share: what does your family think about your channel?) (p.p.s. do you feel such a need to "know your path" because your family members are quite successful or did you have a lot of success in your life early-hence you now feel "unsuccessful"? know it's your own "demons" but you definitely have a lot going for you)
