My Best Friend’s Drinking Is Going to Kill Him! | KARAMO

[@Leene15]

Why tf is he so defensive?! Who tf would deal w him on a daily basis like seriously!?

[@thehoneyeffect]

He’s a victim of abuse as a v young kid, something dark happened and he’s buried it, well he’s trying to with the alcohol

[@thehoneyeffect]

I watched it till the end and Karamo is talking about the pandemic. I don’t think that’s the root cause, I think that I was right the first time but the pandemic would’ve deeply affected someone who had been through trauma on a deeper level psychologically. I do know some young ones who have taken their lives during and just after the pandemic, One of my cousins took her life too, from loneliness in lockdown. Bless him, I hope he gets help

[@badboygoodgirl]

he probably wasnt always like that. gotta remember that too lmaooo

[@allfaabby]

Right

[@ForeverYoung20092]

His personality is disgusting

[@sherandawelch6224]

“why would we drink and be sad.. that’s weird”🤣🤣🤣

[@chefbri91]

This man knows he has a problem but doesn't know how to open up. He feels backed into a corner and afraid of change. Been there done that! 😅. Side note. Karamo has the voice of an angel when he's getting deep and serious. He could soothe me to sleep.

[@deannshelton6552]

I'm sooo happy that Karamo is getting him some help. He is a sweet person I can tell he's experienced this thing called life and some of us don't know how to handle certain things. I pray that he stays sober, get back in school and find purpose in his life.

[@iamidrac]

i’m glad she’s trying to help him instead of cutting him off, but him not apologizing is crazy and sick i wouldn’t

[@Cali90210-n]

Karamo is the absolute best! The genuine support he gives his guests is unmatched. His empathy is exactly what his guests need along with supportive services. What impresses me also is how he comes from a place of non judgement. Love this show so much!

[@shanell0130]

Baaabbayyy . He has an amazing friend and roommate! The lack of care for the people who showed up for him , would have definitely drove me to putting an end to that friendship. I get it! The pandemic did play a big part in a lot of our lives . I am 23 as well! And life definitely has been feeling like I’m about 40 years in loll BUT I really do hope that he can try to be less defensive and open up , talk about some of those traumatic times that are effecting him now 🙂

[@sosobeautiful7]

Trying to help someone who doesn't want to help themselves is draining 😪 I've been there it takes a toll on you eventually I had to let go

[@lindamanuel9073]

23? Wow, he looks so old. I thought he was in his 40s.

[@thehoneyeffect]

Alcohol age as you but stress ages you too. He is in turmoil

[@sophiaandre139]

Wait! He is 23!?! 😮

[@carltoncoleman454]

Yes the pandemic was a rough time for extroverts. This guy seems to be more on the extreme extrovert spectrum and many people really struggled at his age and personality type. There was an increase number of suicides as well by teens and young adults. I'm an extreme introvert (80%+) as a loner and a homebody so I really enjoyed staying in during the pandemic.

[@ILoveStemi]

The pandemic made me realize how big of an extrovert I really was since I couldn't be around the people I saw daily + it hit the year I was supposed to graduate. It was so hard for me in the beginning that I started smoking and drinking a lot as well and I still do everyday. I was his age when the pandemic started and I'm now trying to clean up the mess I made these last 3 years😢

[@mollypleasant-reed1534]

​@@ILoveStemipraying for you sis.

[@ablacksquare]

I wish this young person a lot of love and support through his journey. Hey Karamo, I think you should do a whole week on the effects/affects of the pandemic on peoples lives. Young to old. There is a lot to examine.

[@maryjane2965]

Manny if you read this,you can do it.Take it day by day,every sober day is a win!And before you know it years will have passed. Focus on every joyful moment,go into nature and Stick to therapy.Basically you can reprogram yourself, you will be healthier,happier and fine too.Alcohol makes you old inside and out 😅🎉❤.

[@chelybeann]

That last segment was eye-opening. That’s so true. His life began to crumble in just 6 short weeks. I hope he gets the help he needs! Would love to see a follow up on him.

[@itsjolly7407]

Karamo, you bring tears to me eyes, the way you make a conscious effort to see people! The work you are doing is so very important and I’m so glad to see you doing what you do with your platform. God Bless, Bravo!

[@Lauren-perfectpout21xo]

I thought he was way older than 23. You can do this Manny! Stay strong & focused .... u got this

[@meenak5792]

Karamo! You are toooo good at this! God bless your soul 🙏🏽❤️

[@opulence_prime]

This drunk is not a pandemic baby. His mouth is too smart and he is too combative. It’s more to it than that and he needs A LOT of help.

[@georgia1191]

Uncle Ramo thank you, I want to visit your show so bad! Here is coming from an individual he’s never been to a concert. Doesn’t like to be around large amounts of people, but you made such a difference in my life. I want to see you in person and share my story. Thank you for helping Manny he’s really a beautiful person

[@maryjane2965]

Karamo did his thing again!!

[@brankb83]

He showed compassion and empathy! The last bit was a great observation! ❤

[@jasminel.5964]

Karamo is absolutely the type of therapist I aspire to be. Hopefully one day I can be as deeply empathetic as he is ❤️

[@goochiebrooks8911]

Idk but Karamo bomb as shit. He saw through all that man defenses. Most people wouldve thought to hell with him. I love how he shared his personal experience. He made it safe to come out and get help. ❤

[@Myshelleallen]

The friend is actually very funny 😅I can see why they want to continue to be his friends! I pray he gets the help he needs . He’s young and will get his life on track

[@Probity100]

This was exactly like my relative. Started at 18.. going on 39.. never worked, still drinks day and night.. He never listened to anyone & still doesn’t. He has been in & out of hospital with alcohol related issues including: diabetes 2, alcohol poisoning and lately liver failure and pancreatitis. Manny, there is NO GOING back once the damage is done.

[@questionresearch8721]

Lowkey, I was over here laughing. He said Henn Dog. The baseball bat comment. A different one for everyday. 😅

[@ManuelMartinez-sp8gd]

I am funny ho & now they’re alcoholics too

[@sciocezze68]

Karamo is an angel on earth .. I have so much respect and love for him! Thank you !

[@viktoriabrooks4871]

Lmaoooo it’s Karamo w the “hey 911”😂😂😂

[@brittanyhunter3331]

Yea, that’s not my friend anymore. Police would have been called IMMEDIATELY.

[@jasminetheeprincess]

I need to figure out why he keeps throwing out how fun it is, like that must be a start to whatever he’s battling what are you so scared of? What are you running from?

[@foxroxy86]

His friends should go to Al-Anon to get help as well. I really hope he gets treatment. It’s truly sad to see someone that young destroy themselves that way.

[@FinDom1]

They’re crazy for even continuing to hang out with him.

[@teetee6456]

He is very defensive and he isn't going to understand the severity of the situation until he loses people he cares about essentially "hit bottom". There is something going on that he isn't saying.

[@ayetam_aye]

He’s experienced trauma somewhere in his life

[@Lovely_1One]

He’s struggling with his sexuality and using the liquor as a way to cope. I think his biological family must not accept who he is so he has formed his own form of a family in these girls but it’s all toxic and downhill when they drink all together. They’re able to function afterwards and he isn’t. He also had to stop his life of trying to accomplish things to completion once the pandemic hit so now he feels inadequate. This may have been what he was trying to use to make his family feel proud of him but it didn’t quite pan out the way he expected. Aww. Praying for him that he pulls through. I think he also feels absolutely lonely. 😢❤ people just need to be understanding and compassionate. A little patience never hurt either.

[@romalisrevels4775]

That actually makes perfect sense. And the reason he didn't care or was blocking everyone out because he's been abused and rejected so many times that he ended up preparing his mind to be rejected again and the walls to keep others from hurting and abusing him again. *Shut down

[@maryburke7850]

U have to let people hit rock bottom sometimes!

[@Kayla-po7fv]

Pandemic baby here, class of 2020. We didn't even have prom and our graduation was 20 min long. my classmates are struggling! Karamo we need an update on this.

[@melindawilson4470]

He has a wall built up and he is defensive. He is drinking so much he has damaged his liver . He doesn’t understand if he needs a drink to prevent feeling sick is an addiction. He needs help while he is young and his lacks understanding. It seems like he doesn’t comprehend well the constant of his actions.

[@nashambenyisrael7689]

wow he's 23, and he's a alcoholic already that's scary and sad. Karamo is good at what he's doing.

[@ericadixon1471]

Eww I couldn’t deal with him

[@Myshelleallen]

She sounds like she has a drinking problem too

[@erinelizabeth3491]

CORRECT 😅

[@thomasyoung5013]

He would have caught these hands pouring gas in my house and I got a kid

[@taliahali9827]

Karamo is a saint

[@yellej3314]

I was in the last semester of college when the pandemic happened, I had improv show, a graduation & 2 art shows to look forward to. All of that was taken away,

[@2288lee]

It sounds like his addiction is the only thing giving him a will to live !!!!

[@LilT2o00]

That's pretty much the way I am, but I'm a functioning drinker. I do everything I need to do first in the day (work, any promises I made, etc) before I start drinking. And I live alone, so my drinking is self contained. If I didn't specifically say it, nobody would even know that I drink to begin with.

[@samanthab4524]

Nicely handled Karamo 👌 ❤️

[@questionresearch8721]

When he said Henn Dog. Lordt.

[@PrincessBaby305]

It's really a wonder he even has so many friends

I know they mad I’m 🆙

[@angiela3439]

How in the WORLD is he still alive and drinks THREE 5TH A DAY😯😲😳 WOW🤦🏾‍♀️

[@LilT2o00]

Not that hard if you try. I drink 2 a day but that's because I don't drink before any of my obligations (work, errands, gym) are done first that's my only rule. If I woke up and started drinking, I could probably do four 5ths in a day

[@elizabethprouddolllover641]

I feel her. I'm too a I don't want to ruin them but they ruin me unapologetically type person 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏

[@Bless26771]

[@ariannesmith5303]

It's something wrong from either his childhood or now something wrong and he just drinks to not think about it

I know we’re here holding space for Manny, but mama at 5:31 looked AMAZING 🤣🔥🔥🔥

[@gailhart1000]

I want to just bottle you up and sprinkle you over God nations. I love you so much the friend in my head. Man Man man you are just heaven sent. I too am an recovering addict and can very well lasted to that kid being stuck because that is actually want he is a 20 year old kid without the knowledge of there is still time to redirect his life and start a new. May God send his Angles down to wrap him all the way up in Jesus arm of knowledge and protection against the DEMON of addiction. 🙏 and 🙏 . Again kudos to you for accepting your assignment.❤

We actually just hung out two days ago at the bar and got blackout and ran from police in car chase she in jail now

[@deepfriedohiogravy4756]

He is only 23?!?! I wouldve pegged him for late twenties, at least. That alcohol is taking it's toll already.

[@JustGigi319]

he's basically ASKING for liver failure/death and for everyone in his life to abandon him. Almost like he's daring it to happen. Sigh.

[@smoochesszzable]

This man is pushing out his trama on other people.

[@gabriellemiller6134]

He’s been my actual best friend for 12 years he’s loss over 7+ friends and no one seems to sit back and actually ask him how’s he’s feeling or how’s he’s handling it but can call for a good time always calling when they need something never checking on him but everybody wanna say he’s defensive id be tired too you get use to pain

Didn't they clearly ask him 🙄 and say he doesn't open up to them pay attention

[@abriannac.5650]

Girl shut up😂😂😂

Man ain't no sympathy for an alcoholic. This era needs to end. Take accountability before someone gets hurt or you hurt yourself. Like fr this is not cute at all.

So telling your friend REALITY? The truth?? Is not helping?? What you wanted them to say “hey boo keeeeep on drinking, wake up and have a drink, it’s healthy for you!!” Like wtf. You sound so illiterate. “You’re gonna not wake up one day” is a true statement if he keeps going down this path. He’s literally had his disks removed by surgery just because OF DRINKING. Next thing you know it’s another surgery, then another one, then his liver will eventually fail. Manny has an addiction!! The “hit me up when y’all wanna drink” just proved his addiction! He’s blessed to have friends that patient who actually gives a fuck about him. If he didn’t have them he probably would’ve been dead.
