[@Repzion]

overall, i'm investing in myself for all of 2025 and damn nobody getting in the way of that. Marriage is overrated. I stand by the phrase, once a cheater, always a cheater. Time is something we can never get back, only learn from the failed time we lose.

[@masayadiaz9030]

Wow hi

[@kati1669]

Keep your chin up Repzion, keep it pushing .... the pieces will come together during the journey ❤❤ much ❤ from 🇨🇦 wishing u the Merriest Christmas and Peace 🙏 in 2025

[@182blinkette]

Man I feel ya, I hope 2025 brings only good things... also a game similar to animal crossing but better, I will be checking that out, thanks for the rec!

[@qwertythefish]

A work schedule is a good way to keep you centred, have routine and give you a reason to wake up, helping ward off depression when personal life isn’t the best. Please take a break from relationships, your head needs to be in the right place. Take a few months off and spend time with friends, go do some irl social stuff (movies, escape rooms, whatever), but then, when you feel ready, try bumble (of all the apps), my friend who has relatively recently met someone new (couple of years ago now) has told me that he finds bumble to be the least damaging to your mental health. From what I understand, women initiate contact, and things get off on a better foot. ❤

[@GenXerReacts]

A word of advice from a 52 year old. Take at LEAST 1-2 years before you get into another love relationship. And as someone who was a nurse for 18 years, I once went 17 years without having Christmas Eve and Day off in the same year.

[@Repzion]

That's what i'm planning on. it's been 6 months already. thank you

[@Xessa82]

42 yr old here, I 100% agree with this advice! I spent my entire 20s in a terrible, toxic relationship which ended right before my 30th birthday. I waited 2 years to start dating again and then casually dated 2 guys briefly. I decided dating just wasn't for me and that I had no desire to try anymore. With in a month of making that decision I met my current partner of 11 years. By far the healthiest and happiest relationship I've ever been in and for sure my forever person. We're not married but that's just because it's not important to either of us but we have every intention of being together forever. People always say that when you stop trying that's usually when you find your person and that was so true for me. Waiting that 2 years to start dating allowed me to heal from my previous relationship and not bring that baggage into the new one. When you do start dating again, it might be a good idea to try giving someone a chance that you normally wouldn't go for. It seems like you may subconsciously be going after the same kinds of toxic people. Unfortunately, when you go through trauma from relationships we tend to pick the same types of people with out realizing it. You definitely need time to heal though and until you do, you probably will keep attracting these same kinds of people. I never did online dating so I have no advice there. I wish you luck though! You deserve happiness and you will find it. It's definitely out there for you! Hope you have a great Christmas!

[@palmyra-productions]

@@Repzion this 51-year-old. Also agrees with the 52 year old. My last three relationships consisted of nine years, one year, 11 years after the last one I’m like you know a lot enough for that. While it’s great to have someone around once in a while at the end of the 11 year relationship, I find myself spending more time to myself, Except for when it came time to my daughters, but besides that that was it, I was just fine and happy earning my businesses

[@marthanewsome6375]

56 here and what you are saying is true. Also don't actively seek a relationship. Real ones just happen naturally and when you least expect it. And it should feel natural and not work at all.

[@breadiemercury7676]

Hey these last 5 years I’ve watched you grow … you are the same age as my eldest child You are doing absolutely ok you will see this thru we’ve all been where you have the journey it’s going to be bumpy what you are going thu is perfectly normal …..seriously you are doing ❤more than ok ….

[@Sumivizion]

[@littleredsubmarine]

I’m really sorry to hear about your struggles this year. You’re a sweet, kind and vulnerable person. These kinds of people attract narcissistic pigs. It’s not a *you* thing, honey. It’s a *them* thing.

[@matchapeachcat]

Daniel, I get where you’re coming from 1000%. Relationships are not easy, and especially in this weird time period where no one wants to build a human connection. As someone who has experienced much of the same issues you’re describing in your video, just know you’re not alone. Having hope is hard, but if it’s any consolation, we’re proof people want a genuine connection and love. Focus on you for right now, but keep hoping - the magic will find you eventually. Every “failure” is a lesson ✨

[@Darker_voids]

Politically and socially I agree with your on very little but I have always enjoyed your content and valued what you put out. I'm very glad you didn't leave the app

[@Scarlattomachiatto]

Hey, just wanted to let you know I appreciate your comment as a fan of Repzion. You disagree but still support someone we both like regardless of unaligned views. I highly respect your open mind and respect you even more for enjoying the content of a person you disagree with on topics. Keep on as you are and I hope you have a good day/life, friend.

[@CandiBenson]

I can relate. Apps are full of scammers and weirdos. I’m an introvert too and I haven’t been in a relationship for a very long time. I don’t trust myself to pick someone that won’t shit on me. Don’t give up Daniel. You don’t want to be my age and still be alone. Take care of yourself. You’re a good guy with a good heart. You’ll find the right person and all the pain and frustration will be worth it.

[@Lordskelecat]

Man I feel you so hard on the trust thing. I feel like I know a person for the first couple of months or so, maybe longer, and then suddenly they become different and the relationship falls apart and I’m left standing there like ‘wtf just happened-‘

[@KiroShinigami]

I am so so sorry that things didn't work out. Was rooting for you that you had found the one too... You are a wonderful man and have everything to offer. I hope 2025 you get to have your head also healed and find everything you need and deserve. 2024 almost cost me my life, If not for the help of my family to retreat to I'd not be here anymore. 2024 is soon behind us and I wanna hope for everyone that 2025 will be amazing for us all and especially you. Lotsa love and take it easy please.

[@naaaaaaatalieeeee9620]

I've watched you since I was likely 16. I'm 22 now. I watched almost all of your videos with baited breath whenever you uploaded because I respect your wisdom. I relate to you on a personal level as someone who came out of religion. You, like many of the youtubers that I have watched over the years, have heavily impacted my world view. Thank you for giving me your perspective and helping me identify toxic behaviors that I and the people around me do. I may not always agree with you, I may think you're a bit of an ass- But so is everyone else. You continue to be yourself and I find that incredibly admirable. Don't ever lose yourself in this corporate capital hellscape. Maybe don't try and get married to someone within a year, no matter how close you think you are. A year might feel like a long time but, as you know, people are crazy amd wildly unpredictable. So are you but you've got to protect your peace of mind. I don't know you. And it's likely we never will meet. But I do hope the best for you.

[@MsDragonprincess]

Never apologize for being vague. It’s your personal life and you don’t need to share anything you don’t want too. I’m so sorry that you have been through so much. I hope this next year treats you much better. Focus on you for a while. The right one will come when you least expect it.

[@Korishiva]

You deserve to find a genuine love, man. Sucks you've had all these bad experiences so far, and I can strongly relate to the lack of trust part. Sadly, that can ruin future relationships if you're unable to open up and trust the next one, and your therapist probably says the same. Just take your time to mentally heal, and the right person could very well come along when you least expect it 😊

[@thegoodguy44]

Don’t propose to someone after only being with them for a year.

[@thedastone1939]

Yeah 😕 true

[@Nekogal21]

Try telling this to people who think if this doesn't happen, then the guy is stringing the girl along as a placeholder, etc. People heavily criticise my bf and I for being together "long term" (4 years this year) and waiting for when life circumstances are correct with properly stable housing and work being consistent enough on my end for that next step to be considered

[@AlexFare]

I feel you, I used to work 12 - 16 hours a day 7 days a week for years. Cost me a couple relationships. They would get so mad if I didn't reply instantly.

[@tam8197]

Mid 50's Englishman here, I've watched you from almost the beginning and I would like to say, from my experiences, the secret to this "life stuff" is to relax. I still fail at that relax thing sometimes, and i've learned that it's OK to fail, but the ups now outstrip the downs. Keep going, keep doing what you're doing, and this will come good.

[@darcytee1927]

Man, i relate to the dating struggles so much. People seem to only want hookups, or they ghost for seemingly no reason. But its also hard to meet anyone irl. Dating in your 30s is rough. I'm sorry it's been a tough year Daniel. Hopefully 2025 will bring nothing but positivity and happiness ❤

[@SamanthaEatsCookies]

I think this is such a relatable thing for us. You'd think by 30 people would have a bit more respect than just ghosting.

[@Boe-Temeraire]

I hope that you’re able to heal from whatever happened. It sounds like you’ve been knocked on your ass a few times. I hope that life gets its act together and treats you better from here.

[@tek512]

Relatable, my dude. Way too relatable. I'm not too far off from 40, and I remain unmarried specifically because of having about the same luck you do. What I've learned from all this is that you have to put yourself first. You also have to learn to love yourself. If you can't do these things, nobody worth your time is going to want to enter into a relationship with you. These can be really, really difficult things to accomplish. I'm still not there yet, myself.

[@insomniac_mind776]

I know the feeling of being screwed over over and over again, used, and feeling left behind for reason. I’ve desired giving up on people and it hurts so fucking badly that to be drawn to people who only seem interested in using me. You’re not alone and don’t give up, and I’m sorry you’ve had so much shit to go through. ❤ Your vids have got me through a lot of hard times and I want you to know that you’ve made a positive difference in my life. Just by putting on one of your vids on a bad day have helped me for over 10 years now, you’re a legit good person who deserves good people who care about you.

[@emilyc4388]

That's not a great job. That's abuse.

[@lunarparasol]

That was my thought too. The job sounds draining and not sustainable

[@muigokublack6487]

I was gonna say much the same. Sounds less like a job and more like abuse because of the fact he says that whenever someone calls in sick (and he said alot do) he's the first person they call up because of the terms of employment with the POSSIBILITY of it changing once he's a year in. Look I don't care how good the pay is, it's not worth it if you have NO social life outside of it.

[@oxoxTwinklexoxo]

Sorta reminds me of driving for one of the Big 3 LTL package delivery services. Even the union couldn't save us from some of the inhumane BS they'd put us on during peak holiday rushes.

[@kittencakes9836]

You can always find another job if you don’t like what you’re doing instead of claiming it to be abuse. He agreed to the terms. And apparently likes his job.

[@muigokublack6487]

@@kittencakes9836 You missed the part where it's costed him having pretty much no social life, splits where they try to pay him $3 instead of $30, and the fact he only has 8 hours between shifts when the minimum in most countries is 12 hours plus being the guy who gets called in whenever someone calls in sick to cover with the POSSIBILITY of that changing once a year has passed. It's supposed to be work to live not live to work.

You’re an amazing human and deserve the best in life.

[@Derpingtonshere]

Honestly Daniel, do not let these people ruin your trust in others. Everyone goes through these relationships where you think you found the one, but ultimately ends in shambles. Trust me when I say, you will find the one and when that moment happens, these previous relationships will seem like specs of dirt in a giant field. You said you like gaming? Go to gaming conventions, or competitions. Go somewhere that you find passion in. Bars are not always the right place for people, theirs a certain type that hang around bars, and they are usually looking for more than 1 sausage for their basket if you catch my drift. If you want a serious relationship you have to find them at more serious locations. Best of Luck to you man, and absolutely do not let anyone stop you from investing in yourself. Now, I wish you an early Merry Christmas, and hopefully a happy New Year. Btw, don't ever feel like you owe us anything about your personal life, especially relationships and stuff. I am sick of people feeling like they are entitled to more than they should be, people need to realize that content creators are humans too and need their personal space.

You are enough. I know that's hard to believe when you've been through so much trauma. But you are. You need to have more love and respect for yourself. Once you do, it definitely shows and you will attract the kind of people that deserve your love and deserve to be in your life. Keep your chin up.

[@Slath0327]

Aw Repz. I feel you. I found my now husband on a dating app after a year of being on them. I had a few rubbish experiences that made me want to pack it in. However, I'm glad I stuck at it, or I wouldn't be where I am today. Take a break from it if you need to, but don't give up, there is someone out there for you. And if it's any consolation, some of the best things in my life happened right after I hit the point you're at now... so I have a feeling something good is just around the corner for you 😊. Good luck for 2025! 'When you hit the bottom, the only place left to go is up'.

"Let the right one in Let the old dreams die Let the wrong ones go They cannot do what you want them to do."-Morrissey Daniel, I don't know if you'll read this, but I feel you. You think, do I deserve this? It keeps happening to me, why? Because you care, you're a caring, empathetic person and unfortunately the wrong ones take advantage of people like us. You don't deserve the shlt they put you through, male or female, old or young. I see others have suggested you taking a break from relationships, good advice. Focus on you, your job, gaming, friends, your goals, charities, whatever it is that fulfils you. You're still young, (at least you're not 38 like me hehe) and you have a lot going for you. In time, the right one will come, and when he or she does, let him or her in. For now, just focus on healing and doing whatever is best for you. Take care of yourself, Daniel. I'm happy you have a good job and that you are still on youtube. Even if you left youtube, I would respect that, though I am glad you're still here. I'll try to catch you live streaming sometime. :3

You know man, I really just wish the best for you this upcoming year. Also, love is hard. The whole not responding and people get pissed types are simply not for you, me, or a few friends i have. Anyone who doesn't understand that work gets in the way of freely talking doesn't get it. Finding someone who finds your individual priorities just as important and what you stand for is so tough. You don't have to match perfectly, but similar values are so important. Getting to know someone shouldn't be so hard.

Im 26 and i relate to everything you said literally sucks to be the good hearted person

[@GHOSTWRITERL]

Sucks that your relationship didn't work out. Give yourself time to fully recover from that heartbreak. In regards to your job, it's good that you enjoy it and that it's paying well, but don't go overboard on the hours and the long shifts. Rest is critical to any career, but especially when you are driving commercial trucks. Know your rights and your limits, and do not let them manipulate or bully you into going beyond them, because not only will you be liable for what happens the knowledge that you caused harm or worse is not worth it. No matter what you're promised or how much you might be pushed to do it.

[@letsgogorls]

I think so many of us can relate to this Rep. It's so fucking hard. And I think most of us are at your point of just giving up on meeting someone. Because it is simply too mentally exhausting to keep putting ourselves through the heartbreak. My new approach is just truly living for myself and learning self love. Sometimes the patterns we see time and time again are a mirror. It's trying to show us something. It may not necessarily mean we need to change ourselves but it might mean choosing the people we would normally be attracted to. It's sad to say that the kindest, most generous people often get walked all over because people come to expect it from us. But you can still set boundaries and decide to be different next time. Take care of yourself and I hope you're able to have a more stable work/life balance next year. ❤️

[@annier.6976]

I'm sorry Daniel :( Going through some similar things. For right now I give up on dating and am not bothering.

Pulling for you, I hope it's a way better year

[@NeccoWecco]

I'm in the same boat. My first 7 year relationship was riddled with abuse. My recent one just ended with them ghosting me after 6 1/2 years. I also give up.

[@emmierutherford5068]

Just my thoughts while watching this video for rep or whoever needs it: If you give someone your all but its not what they want, it will never be enough. sometimes it's not about how much energy we put in but what types of energy we put and where its going towards. consider perspective, one persons 50% is another's 100%. Do not give up the "giving it your all" mentality, even if it seems like its not worth it. being 100% is such a rare and important thing to find in a partner and is easily overlooked or taken advantage of. Please keep your heart open and minds clear without letting those past experiences cloud your judgement with negative perceptions. I promise that one day you will be able to find someone else who balances you. stay 100% as much as you can, and when you are having a bad day and only mentally at 50%, stay with that partner who will be your other 50%.

Sorry to hear you're going through a rough time dude. I've been watching your videos for a few years and you always seem like a genuinely nice guy. And it's hard to get that work life balance. It took a permanent injury for me to realize my own limits and it actually helped balance things out better,. This job sounds tough but also really rewarding for you. I'm not an expert on dating by any means, but maybe just focus on the job and spending time with friends when you can for awhile. Everyone handles the single life differently, but that's my opinion. Hang in there! Hope you get that Antarctica job!

[@machenka]

I have never experienced a person getting into as many bad relationships as this dude. With so many bad experiences it’s a pretty clear indication that there may be something in your own actions that is part of the reason, otherwise you are the unluckiest person I’ve ever ‘met’ and hopefully the next one works out. 🤞 Edit: by the way, what’s up with this major focus on getting married? Just stay with the person your love and embrace that. Marriage should not be a goal in itself - a healthy loving relationship should. I’ve been with my girlfriend for 17 years ( as far as I remember 😀), we have 2 kids together and it’s mazing. Marriage is probably not something we are ever gonna do, cause what’s really the reason to do so as long as you are with a partner you love!? Having marriage as a goal every year with every partner seems to add more stress and impact your mental health so why not just aim at getting a healthy relationship as the main goal? If you then decide to do the marriage one day that’s fine but it’s not like it’s gonna make a good relationship better or save a bad relationship. Constantly focusing on that one formality is not healthy.

I hope that things also get better for you too, I hope that you find someone when you're in a good place mentally who is *meant for you* who puts in the same effort that you do, someone who's goal is to make you happy too and love you the way you should be loved.

Irrespective of whatever your intent behind it was and whether or not it's still accurate right now, I thought the video you posted about wanting to retire from KZbin came from a very sincere place, and it hit home because it reminded me a lot of the various changes I've been making to my life that came with pulling out from the toxic aspects of internet culture just as you described. It compelled me to want to do a livestream analyzing the video at the start of this year as a sort of New Year's resolution heart to heart thing because I think it really makes you think about various choices you've made throughout the years. No matter where your head is now compared to a year ago, I hope you're hanging in there as best you can and I wish you the best of luck with whatever you are wanting to improve.

When you do finally feel good enough to date again, take your time with that person. Wanting to get married within a year is a dangerous thing to try. I was in my relationship for 13 years and people and situations change. In a way it was nice that she said no, means she wasnt in it for your money. That means you are bringing in decent people into your life still. Def keep that in mind while you go thru this. You got this bud.

hope 2025 brings giving yourself grace and peace. i remember being sad watching the retirement video but being happy for you - i believe you'll find the right person for you and they'll be so worth the wait. customer service is SO draining and i hope they get you on a regular schedule soon!! i can't imagine the stress of it being so imbalanced.

[@mommakimmins5554]

Man, I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out. That's rough. I really hoped it was going to work for you. A word of advice would be to take time and find out what red flags you may be blind to before entering into another relationship, so you're not pouring into a cup that doesn't end up with you for life. Also to take things slow, and don't lovebomb yourself into a bad relationship because you WANT to see them a certain way. You have to be able to be honest with yourself, especially about a potential life partner.

As someone who too went through the most ultimate, traumatic betrayal within a relationship that had several toxic relationships preceding it - I thought everything you have said in this video. Fully believed relationships just weren’t made for me, I took time living alone and doing my own thing as you are. 5 years later I am celebrating my anniversary and living with my dream crush I had in high school. We are best friends and he taught me what trust truly was. Every wall dropped and I‘ve learned true safety within love. I say this all to say, you will find it. They’re right there, under your nose. Maybe they’re just having the same experiences too and need to do some character development so when they come you don’t have this heart ache again. Until that day arrives, focusing entirely on yourself and your dreams is a beautiful route to take. You deserve to give yourself the fierce and unconditional love you give to others. Good luck in Antarctica! ☃️

If you want or need any advice from someone that's had experience with online friendships/relationship for over 10+ years, I'll do my best to speak my mind and maybe it will help you down the long run. I've heard a lot from other people with what you go through, I've had plenty of friends that give themselves way too much and it creates a pattern of someone else giving what you are constantly putting out, whether that is, being available emotionally/physically, or giving gifts. People will use that and you need to take a few steps back, and not give 100% of yourself anymore. Sometimes giving out 80%, or 50% is enough and you need to find someone that respects and matches with your energy. But for you Daniel, you need to surround yourself with friends, be that online, or in your every day life. The best advice I can ever say is, take things day by day, and I promise it will get better. And I know its a small thing, but I appreciate watching Star Wars Skeleton Crew with ya, you're good company, and don't forget that. You'll be okay, and I know you'll be happier than anything one day. Don't give up.

Life certainly hasn't been kind to you lately >: I love the fact that you are aware over what's going on and what's making you feel bad so that you can take action to heal and feel better. Good to hear you are in therapy and I hope that you get support and love from those who are close to you. I honestly think it's awesome that you got your irl job so that you don't have to stress about what content to create. Also - you ARE enough. It's never your fault that people are treating you badly, that's on them. Cheating and bad behavoir has no excuses! If anyone is having issues they should communicate. Take care man! Have always enjoyed your content! Shitty life circumstanses can be improved and from what you said in the video you are really taking the steps. Good luck! This was pretty parasocial of me hahaha but I'm sending positive vibes your way!

[@Bluegrassbabe]

2024 has been a s___ year for me too, man. I got out of an a___e situation that nearly k___d me that I thought was meaningful. I gave up on dating in general. Imo finding a compatible person is like finding a needle in a hay stack. As someone with mental health issues, it's extremely emotionally draining. I find happiness these days by snuggling with my dog and music. I am 9 months single and celibate (non-religious reasons), it's soooo worth it in the end. I hope 2025 is a much better year for you. 💯 P.S. I've been watching you since 2011 when I was 13. I know you're not using KZbin as much, but I love seeing when you upload whenever you have the time and energy. 😊

[@hellopeople6138]

Im sorry about everything that's happened. Trusting someone enough to be in a long term relationship is such a vulnerable thing. I've only had two and each were very bad. I just broke up a bit ago and I feel so drained from everything that happened and that I had to constantly think about. She was my friend before and know my other friends and I just know they all think less of me. I'm about to go a date soon which is scary and exciting. I'm so nervous but I need to know that I can find someone good for me

[@valiantsorrow1660]

Ur experiences are so similar to mine. I work a lot and am willing to do anything to anyone, even if it means sacrificing my own needs. At the end of the day, I'm still alone and fighting. Wishing nothing but the best. You are enough Rep, we love you💜💜💜

[@HelenaHuntzDabz9966]

It is hard to see when self love is in need when you do care about all. I been single since 2020 and me is never looking back. Nothing is wrong with it. And you got this.

[@CeceJianni]

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with some aspects of your life. You do not deserve to be mistreated or taken advantage of. People are genuinely terrible, and it's so hard to get through this distrust thing when every time you get into a new relationship it's like they prove the negative invasive thoughts in your head right every time. It just rips open an old wound every time, and it gets bigger and bigger and bleeds more and more every time. Please take a note from me as a friend, you need to wait until the wound is fully closed before you give anyone new access to you. It's okay to be single, even in your thirties, and you do not need to lower yourself. If a girl unmatches you because you're not 6'5", she did you a favor because she's shallow. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Best of luck.

[@yarayugi7506]

Hope all the best for you man. It’s been so great following you since way back. Sending all the best 🤘

[@KarlieStarrSings]

I’m so sorry you’ve had a rough year. I’ve been going through it myself. The only thing we can do is take it minute by minute, breath by breath and focus on ourselves and what we can control in the moment, whether it’s playing video games, working, making videos etc. one other thing I’ve been practicing Reality Acceptance. Right now things feel pretty shitty but who really knows where we’re gonna be in the future? Just because there’s been a history of shitty things happening it doesn’t mean it will always keep happening. Anyway we’re all rooting for you man ❤

[@chantalpecyna]

Peace and love, buddy. We got ya ❤

[@12345maryrocks]

I’m sorry that happened to you. I just turned 30 and I’m I the same boat, all the “good ones” in my area are taken. I’m glad you’re at a job you like for the most part. It’s great to hear you’ll still upload videos once in a while. I’ve been watching you for forever. Take care and I’m sure love will find you at the right moment. Give yourself time to heal.

[@coldwar45]

Best of luck in 2025. Ive been with you since 2013, so here’s to year 12 of your content!

[@Jennywasthevillain]

Self trust is very important especially with life, love, career, etc. Once you find your groove, everything goes smoothly. You've got this, we all know you can do it.

[@OmegaFoxOnFire]

It's a treat to have your occasional videos. Thank you for taking time to still post!

[@owlbyovrprepared1128]

It's so hard when the base of trust we build for ourselves shatters the 2nd+ time. I'm currently working on building my trust in myself much differently this time. May your own journey be easier than you expect and have enough joy to make the rough moments worth it.

[@kali_shey]

I am in a similar headspace with wanting to give up on people. It’s sad, because I’m a very extroverted person who has always loved human connection. I have reached a point where it’s more peaceful to not engage after so much disappointment (and I don’t just mean relationships… it’s friendships, too). People don’t want to talk, give frustrating one word answers (or don’t reply at all). Hundreds of “likes” on my profile and yet no one wants to have a genuine conversation. It’s exhausting and the betrayal by some people you’ve given everything to makes you lose your faith in humanity. You start to think that what you’re looking for in another person doesn’t exist. Please remember… you ARE enough. They say people can’t meet you any deeper than they’ve met themselves, and it’s true. One of my favorite quotes is “you can’t speak butterfly language to caterpillar people”. It’s taken me a long time to stop seeing (and falling for) the *potential* a person has instead of seeing the person as they truly are standing in front of you. You deserve someone who’s going to go all in for you… you deserve to have that energy matched in a partner. I hope you find her ❤️

[@sagew1312]

I know this won't help you but I want to remind you this will pass. I won't ask specifics because like you said it really isn't any of our business. I'm glad you're here though. Truly.

[@bewhoyouwant92]

oh man Rep. I am sad about everything you've been going through. so freaking proud of your hustle though. Coming from a people pleaser myself, take the time to please the most important person in your life, you. i know it's difficult, i still work on it daily myself. The most difficult part is trying to figure out how to please the people pleasing side without actually people pleasing. To be honest i just think about how working on enjoying my own time will eventually make others around me happier too because i am becoming my own best friend. I just think it's so important to be your own best friend. on top of that, yeah, dating these days seems like a total nightmare. Everyone seems to kind of have their own agenda. On a different note, I adore when you make these more personal videos. If more people would be vulnerable i feel fhe world would be a such better place. Anyway, keep your head up. You seriously seem like such a well rounded, common sense, emotional being. You will eventually find the correct person to spend your life with. i whole heartedly believe that. Anywho, I am proud of you! Thank you for updating us! ❤ May the force be with you! 😊

[@minraja]

Man plans, god laughs. I wish you nothing but the best.

[@jenna6716]

Hey dude, i never comment on your stuff, but all this stuff you are going through sounds really tough. But you can do it! You are a hero to so many people.

[@90sIndieGrungeScene]

Oh my gosh. I can relate so much to this. I hope things start getting better for you soon ❤️

[@Iblamethebarrels]

Hey rep! We all care for you. We respect any decisions you make bc it's your life. I have a little advice though. Your job might have great benefits but it is overworking you. Anything above 45 hrs can really kill your time, MENTAL HEALTH, and social battery. I've been overworked before and it just exacerbates your mental health if it's already not well. Regarding love: I'm just sorry. I've been cheated on. I knew they cheated in a previous relationship, I was a fool who thought I was special. At that time I was also just regularly finding abusive relationships (friendships, partners, family). I think you're doing the right thing to take some time for yourself. But don't let your work abuse you.

[@lilithsnightmare5378]

I'm 32 and everything you said about dating I felt to my core. I've also gotten to the point of wondering if it's worth trying anymore. The way people treat dating now days feels like hell when I want genuine connection and to fall in love and get married. My views on relationships are apparently out dated because I'm not into hooking up. I totally understand where you are coming from. You seem like a great guy. Some woman would be lucky to be with you someday. I hope you find her and you can settle down and get married. You definitely deserve it. Hang in there ❤

[@MissMeggarz142]

Thank you so much for being transparent with your current situation. I have watched your channel for years. You've been so kind to share your struggles and strengths. I can't thank you enough! You pretty much explained what I can't explain myself. You made me feel valid. The job, the romantic part, the gaming stance...yup, I feel heard. Again, thank you. I appreciate you so much for saying what I could not find the for. 💜 You are a great person and you deserve the best, really. I look forward to when you can meet someone to match your caliber.

[@bowechosqualler]

I can totally understand. The past year has been extremely traumatic for me as well, completely changing my life forever. Things will get better, just one step at a time my guy. One day at a time.
