[@TheHeatInColorPodcast]

[@joeyroey]

@@TheHeatInColorPodcast thank you! I’m really happy you liked it. And yes that’s one of my fav gym shirts 💪🏾

[@simplyemily8251]

people are afraid of being awkward or rejected/failing but doing new things requires both. great advice im still learning this

[@DavyNZ]

Such great advice 👏 👌 👍

[@DavyNZ]

Something about this video makes me want to revisit 'NOT PRETTY ENOUGH' by Kasey Chambers 😊 the ultimate ode to vulnerability 😮

[@joeyzoom24]

I LOVE your videos and your vulnerability ! I am a Nurse in L.A. and have been on both sides of this fence (Vulnerability and rejection) -- as we ALL have. I've been rejected and I have had to reject plenty, that is life. But putting yourself out there like this is amazing -- you are attractive physically and mentally stimulating -- you will do just fine when the right one comes along. 🙂Come to L.A. and say hi & keep these upppp !

[@joeyroey]

@@joeyzoom24 rejection is a part of life, it shouldn’t stop us from living ! Thx for your comment. Will defs have to visit LA (I’ve never been) at some point !

[@theoldmule3619]

There’s nothing more attractive than vulnerability

[@joeyroey]

Couldn’t agree more

[@zraiderz]

embrace your feelings and being honest and communicative will attract people with the right intention as u do. Those that are avoidant do not have the skillset to be in a serious relationship ♥

[@joeyroey]

@@zraiderz yes this! you’re so right 🙌🏼

[@patrickdaveserquina6719]

Kuya Joey you are the strongest people who win battles we know nothing about, it’s not a weakness per se but a strength to understand more of yourself that makes you you! 😊❤

[@Mileko-fv5pb]

You must be true to yourself!! It’s taken me a long time to get this way. You are a very handsome guy!! You will find the right person. Big hugs 🤗

[@ifofanah1]

I relate to this so much, especially the part about time-matching/exceeding text responses (soooo pathetic and immature when you really think about it 😭😭😭😭). These days, I’m really trying to be more comfortable with showing vulnerability. I literally could be head over heels for someone but will refuse to send the first text 😭😭 I believe it all boils down to a fear of rejection. Thank you for making this video, you really have a way of putting complex emotions into a very aesthetic video 🫶🏾

[@joeyroey]

@@ifofanah1We’re self sabotaging ourselves 😂 next time send that first text ;)

[@axr.2115]

soooooo real, lately I've been finding myself realizing that I'm just playing myself by not being vulnerable and playing the "he took 1 hour to reply, I'll take 2" game. the guy missed out big time on you, but glad it was still a learning experience for you

[@joeyroey]

Yeah, why do we do that hey? We’re only playing ourselves 🤣 best to stay authentic

[@user-xq2rh2ih8t]

Sometimes waiting is just two people thinking the same and both unsure to make a move, sort of a stalemate situation.... being proactive is empowering and often the understanding of the other persons situation makes more sense than all those scenarios in our head. Reality, sometimes difficult, is much easier to deal with. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and great to see that you eat really well😉

[@patuki6133]

Your maturity is truly ahead of your age. I wish I had your perspective when I was your age. You are strengthening your inner self as well as your physical. Stay true. Aloha

[@joeyroey]

@@patuki6133 had to learn to be mature the hard way, thanks for your comment 🫶🏼

[@thekajalflaneur]

❤❤❤ this is so true. One of the guiding principals in my life also even when its hard. Truth will set you free ✨ thankyou for sharing your vulnerability with us. Bug hug ❤

[@joeyroey]

@@thekajalflaneur I’m glad you resonate with it 👌🏼

[@NelHield]

In the simplest terms, thank you. It is very refreshing to still have people like this with this type of mindset. I’m not sure why but everyone wants a god aura or something.

[@mmmmmatthewwwww]

Thank you, i definitely needed to hear this, i feel as if my "vulnerability" was perceived as being pushy or rushing in a way since i got the "its moving to quick, i don't want to do this anymore" text. And its as you said where the date went really well, we were even planning multiple ideas since both of us really wanted to see each other again, but before that could happen he basically said that, he was feeling obligated to text back rather than want to, and felt claustrophobic from me always reaching out. Basically i guess, is there a fundamental line where it just becomes to much for someone and eventually become uninterested, and if so what did i do wrong to step over that line. Thank you, these topics are never easy to discuss and they really do help!

[@joeyroey]

It’s never too much for the right person. Remember that 🫶🏼

[@iy1231]

I always tell myself not to create a narrative that no one agrees with. We always tell children to speak up ,ask questions, and feel their emotions with no harm. As adults, we should do the same.

[@joeyroey]

Agree 👍🏽

[@briansullivan4873]

I think you are very nice person, I live by myself to here in Edmonton but I have a sister and a brother is close to me

[@ggds1996]

The more I watch and get to know you, the more I see myself in you. We have so much similarly. I wish you all the best in your family because you deserve, wish I was in Australia I would definitely be your friend.

Kumasta Ka! Another insightful and informative vlog Pinsan, well done! Trust me, Mr Right will turn up at the right time, i.e. when you're ready (as it did for my meeting my now Filipino husband). BTW, whereabouts was the Filipino restaurant? There aren't many in Sydney! Salamat po!🥰

Let’s chon in Sydenham. It’s amazing! Give it a try. Also thank you 🫶🏼

[@bg147]

Great insights and nice music. So yea, I have been alone 99% of my life. Every time I allow myself to be vulnerable, my heart ends up broken and I have to take anti-depressants. LOL. It is just easier being alone. Yet, it isn't truly living... I guess.

[@joeyroey]

@@bg147 unfortunately that’s what we gotta do, risk heartbreak for the potential of happiness. It’s worth it though !

ASAWA you cute 🙏🔥

[@jblack7159]

I think you, like many others these days, are misusing the word "vulnerability". If you are vulnerable you are easily hurt - surely not a good or desirable thing. I think what you are talking about is not avoiding expressing your feelings for fear of being hurt or embarrassed i.e. making yourself vulnerable.

[@brandonrodas3315]

You are cute ❤❤❤

[@joeyroey]

Thanks !🙏🏼
