Responding to Your Assumptions part II

[@MegaRangers2009]

It made me so happy to hear you say that you don’t judge people on their efforts in school because you don’t know their circumstances. Through most of high school I didn’t try AT ALL. I skipped school, I didn’t do homework etc, and I got a lot of judgement about it. BUT when I went into foster care and finally got a good set of parents, I suddenly was trying SO HARD, managed to get university acceptance and a few scholarships. Turns out I was smart all along, just had a lot of trouble at home and no one cared if I worked hard!

being introverted doesn't equal to being shy or uninterested in others. I am 100% introverted yet most people don't even know because I am quite chatty and outgoing even with strangers. I just need to spend tons of quality time in my own company pursuing my endless interests :)

From your kindness and politeness I can tell that you were raised by loving and sportive parents. A lot of people are raised in a toxic home yet they are very kind, but they somehow lack motivation and self love. It’s just amazing how parents can influence our lives. My parents take advantage of me and my siblings, making me skip university so they can go on vacations, taking our salary, manipulating us and throwing their responsibilities on us. And me especially because I’m the oldest girl. Seeing you and how loving you’re parents are and how happy you are truly does make me happy. I hope one day to get married and leave this house, I imagine my home would be like your home, warm and cozy. I don’t understand people who are jealous from others who have everything that they don’t, you Ruby have everything that I wish for but I can’t but feel happy for you. So be happy for those of us that can’t! You have no idea how you’re videos have helped me, I watch your videos everyday, I even rewatch your old ones, that’s how much you’ve changed my life.🖤🖤🖤

Remember in the UK people are going to school without breakfast. We have our privileges but don't forget that 14 million kids are in poverty in this country.

You don't have to feel angst for your privilege. Remember your parents didn't create this lovely life for you only for you to feel bad, and also you have taken what has been given and made the most of it.

[@AsenathWaiteDerby]

What you said at 7:43 made me reflect. I don't know how it is in UK, but in my country you are basically forced to go to school, you are forced to learn things that sometimes are not even interesting for you and for the person you are/want to be. It's not even a free choice. I've never thought about it as a privilege, and now I try imagine what would I be today if I've never had the opportunity to study. I would certainly be more ignorant and I couldn't appreciate some of the great things that this humanity has made, like art. In that moment I realize that studying and learning are the most beautiful things ever, but it's just people who ruin them and make them awful. So young people give up, they are not even attracted to those things, they don't see the greatness in them and they can't find a reason to learn them.

[@soilgrasswaterair]

Many times the bullying isn’t about the person it’s directed at, but is due to pain within the bully caused by something (often unmet needs or some type of dilemma rooted in the upbringing etc). But sometimes it is as you say, Ruby, about assumptions. Only thing that is certain is that someone who bully others is not in a good place emotionally or they wouldn’t feel the need to hurt others. To not stay silent when you see things that are off can help so much, and for all you know it might be the catalyst to end such behavior. You’re always allowed to say something even if you think it will make you feel great discomfort. To stay silent is in a way to agree with such behavior instead of calling it out.

[@bellac6311]

Yeah, but the bully isnt the victim of the situation. Ive had friends that were bullied, but their problems were ignored because the person bullying them apparently had "anger issues". Like, no you hold rhe person accountable no matter what, and you treat the actual victim as the victim, not the bully as the victim.

[@carolinek3031]

I really love how you addressed the assumptions about your socialising patterns and initiating conversations. It bothers me that some people seem to think that introverts have less of a social life just because we don’t become friends with EVERYONE we meet.

You're like the only person I've ever seen that is a little bit like me. You could put all these assumptions against me and they'd all be true. I'm an introvert and autistic. I'm scared for the future because I've never drunk or had a boyfriend etc. but this reassures me.

[@kingdom1521]

I would love to be like you. You are so sweet and correct. I don't know what happens, I try hard to keep good grades and be good, but when I have a breakdown, I end up doing stupid things, like getting drunk or things like that. Sometimes I feel like I have two personalities. One who is like you and one who is so tired, so exhausted and pessimistic.

[@ur_cute_jeans6429]

Rubyyyy, please don't ever beat yourself up about being 'privileged'. Unless you're the most privileged or the least privileged person in the world, there's always going to be someone who has it better than you and someone who has it worse :)) You're allowed to struggle sometimes and not feel guilty !!

[@sarahmcd7529]

okay i dont even begin to understand how someone could not enjoy your style. it not only matches your personality but your overall body. i think your style is absolutely lovely and envy how well you pull it off!! :)

[@annie-4984]

You really are the daughter my parents always wanted. 😞 Love you tho Ruby, you're amazing! Xx ❤️❤️

[@alondraelizabethherrera2404]

Hey Ruby, productive and study enthusiast here! I agree with your privilege answer and truly proud of you for how honest you are. I am a Mexican American student, I work 2 jobs and have had take online classes my second semster because college is expensive. What makes me even more sad is that next semester I won't even be taking any classes online or in my campus, all due to financial difficulties. Anyway, I consider myself privileged as well despite my obstacles. Education sadly, is a privilege. Keep up the good work!

"I dress like a grandma.." My mom when I try to choose my clothing: yOU LOOK LIKE A NANNY

It’s really refreshing to see someone so open about being themselves and not liking clubbing, etc. ☺️

thank goodness you have loving and supportive parents you were so polite even if people be kind of rude to you! that's really refreshing to see

[@galaxywanderer5455]

Don't force yourself to like an author. Just be yourself. And in fact as an English lit student you have all the right to have an opinion and not like an author. Also I do agree with your point with lacking emotion. It's so true and it was so hard for me to read the whole book. The only reason I finished the book (over the span of months) is because I don't like to stop reading a book halfway.

[@imsoquirkyanddifferent7426]

The third one made me cry. I'm doing so bad in mathematics so I have been feeling stupid. But your response to that question made me cry. Now I feel so much better so thank you.🥺

[@eleanor1660]

My grandma would have been your age in the 1940s so you would be dressing like her. I love the way you dress :)

Hey Ruby! I also prefer the Bronte's sisters than Jane Austen but please never say that there is not enough emotion in Jane Austen's works: "I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart, even more, your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W. "I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never." Persuasion

[@RubyGranger8]

I MUST READ PERSUASION I know I haven't read enough Austen to make a proper judgement :)x

[@tatyana_reads]

@@RubyGranger8 I strongly recommend it! It's my favourite Jane Austen's novels :)

I can't stand alcohol either myself. I have also never been clubbing and I'm 40! I also like to socialise one on one rather than a group. You are so right about intelligence and all the factors that play a role in school performance. I was what they called a 'square' or 'teacher's pet' because I did well in school and loved to read. I also hate fantasy stories! I hate it. My favourite genre is probably drama and family stories. I also love to talk to strangers, start up a conversation, even though I'm introverted. I do need my alone time, but it doesn't make me shy around others. I don't like junk food either. Chocolate is okay, but I don't really enjoy it much on the whole, and I detest lollies. We live in Australia and we feel very lucky living in Australia.

[@alis7135]

Don't feel bad for your privilege. The fact that you acknowledge it, and are grateful is enough through and through. I'm super happy for all you have. Everyone should be able to have it, but that's not how the world works. The important thing is contributing in this matter in the best of your abilities and I know you do/will continue to do. I'm happy for you. If anyone shames you for it, as opposed to trying to get more people on the same level. That's on them. I Love you lots 🖤

[@heathermahoney8910]

This is the most down to earth video I've ever watched. You are so intelligent and respectful to everyone's opinions while still saying your own. Thank you for blessing us x

0:35 that is so true !!! Most people tend to ignore this fact. Our first step should always be finding the root cause of the problem and then trying our best to eliminate that.

nasty comments on clothing are a big no-no 😳 everyone is different and I love seeing creative outfits because it can be such an amazing statement about how you want to be perceived 🌸

[@aoife7025]

Why is there sometimes black borders around frame Not hating just curious

[@RubyGranger8]

I'm using the black borders when talking about the construct of bullying :) it's just an easy way for people to take away the bits specifically related to anti-bullying xx

Thanks for clearing that up Also: OMG Ruby Granger responded to me 😁

Honestly, I dress plain and aim to dress better in a more old fashioned styles...and your lookbook and clothing hauls are such an inspo, Ruby. You're just a unique fashion icon with your special glittery personality. Most people won't get it, but you continue to be yourself! 💙
