So What's Next?

Took me a bit, but I finally know what I want to do this with channel.

[@lipewar9999]

It's a really messed up world when one of the coolest guys we know has problems with his confidence.

[@orpheusbalor8785]

it happen way too much sadly

[@Shin3y]

Haha if you think that’s bad, wait till you hear about clinical depression…

[@whimsicalstray]

Really messed up when some of the people with the most subscribers are narcissists as well. Doubt and self reflection are good things. Huge respect for putting out these videos and being sincere.

[@ameliarekosh2836]

I love hearing John talk about just... Life. It's a reminder that even popular KZbinrs struggle too. A reminder that his goofy side shown on PM7 is only one side of him. And seeing him open up is something that a lot of people need, a reminder that they aren't alone. That people they look up to can feel insecure, disheartened, and doubtful. And it's an important message.

[@gonzalolozanofernandez6837]

We love you John. I am 27 and one of my best friends killed himself a month ago and I am really sad all the time for him, and listening to you talk about mental health, about confidence, just makes me feel better. Thank you for this channel, for PM7 and for everything you stand for.

[@Wooper194YT]

I am sorry for your loss

[@Noctaru]

My condolences. Stuff hits hard in life and its never a bad thing to take a step back to get yourself together. Do what have to do to get better , buddy. Get well !

[@mousy_playz]

Oh...😢

[@ThisAintGood.]

If I’m being honest, I always personally struggled with confidence because I never thought that people really appreciated me, let alone me appreciating myself. But I want you to know that I and a ton of other people love what you do and you always bring a smile to everyone’s face. I’m not saying what I’m saying changes anything, I just want you to know that. And how we care about what you’ve done

[@Pringleman73]

Same here

[@meldarion]

I think it's an important thing to realize that as a bigger youtuber you are a role model to people; just you opening up about your struggles helps so many people, it shows that that is an okay thing to do. I guess if there's anything to ask for me personally it'd be how did you cope with societal pressure while making the choice of this career path

[@HCraftYT]

So this question sounds really childish in my opinion but advice would you give to someone who really wants to start a KZbin channel but feels extremely nervous about putting out content mainly due to anxiety over wether or not people will actually enjoy it? I and a couple of friends have thought about starting a channel but I keep getting anxious that we won’t do well and we’d all end up feeling like idiots. We feel so inspired by what you do, your content is really engaging and even slightly more serious content is inspirational to us because it makes us feel good to know that people can be brave enough to make content like this. We truly appreciate what you do here John.

[@TheVioletValiant4]

people are excited to learn more about you because you HAVE helped them already. they care about you not just as the guy who plays pokemon, they care about the guy behind the camera because the work he's done has brought them joy. and wanting to connect and relate isn't a bad thing! you said it yourself. don't overthink it. absolutely take questions you find interesting or that you've possibly been eager to talk about but hadn't had the chance to before and just go for it. this channel is about you being more human and i think that's brave. anything that puts you out there and perhaps shows more vulnerability is a brave thing to do and i'm excited and happy for you, john. keep doing what you're doing, take it one step at the time and things will fall into place. thank you for all the content, i'll happily keep tagging along for the ride.

[@roozz33]

What really helped me with creation (not videos in my case, but music) and not feeling confident is the cake theory I saw online - as a creator you can look around and see that someone else's cake is more elaborate than yours, but the audience will just see two cakes. More cake! And some people prefer the cake you made and see as less over anything else. Only you can make your cake.

[@Vandy323]

Confidence is such a key part of creating content but it's one of the most difficult traits to be consistent with. But i'm excited for this channel and I talked with my roommate and i'm excited for the future of everything you're doing/want to do :]

[@Emrys18]

There a few KZbinrs I go and always feel excited to watch. You are one of them. I honestly never expected you to say you struggled with confidence. When watching any of your videos I’ve always thought you exuded confidence. You are joyful, you’re entertaining, and you help to lighten my day when it’s been heavy. If you ask me, you’re already helping people. There is no one specific thing you need to do to help, just be you.

[@travisangerman7172]

Absolutely a huge fan of this. Like I commented in your first video, I was the same kid looking to people like SeaNanners for help back in the day. Really cool to hear that you also watched him! Just make what you would have wanted or needed to hear back in the day (or now), and you’ll do fine John.

[@nukezillagaming5198]

Love this guy ( plus you can do what you want and you can be who you want to be if you believe in yourself)

[@intoontown]

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but I'd love to hear you talk about your perspective on comedy and humor. I think it's pretty clear from your videos, especially your livestreams, that you want to offer a bright spot in other people's days, and love you make people life. So I guess the question I'd ask is why is that important to you? At any rate, I am glad to hear this channel will continue. Your irreverent humor and earnestness really resonate with me across all your videos as a relatable thing. And I think it's cool that you want to make videos here with a meaning to them. Kudos to you!

[@aidanmauricio]

Hey John, as a person who's been told a lot that my worst weakness is confidence, this helps a lot. I hope you're doing well and I'd love to hear you discuss anything, you are definitely having an impact on people like me.

[@stephenwehe5944]

Love your content, John, and your perspective on things. I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety myself, mostly around being a dad and trying to provide for my family in multiple ways successfully. None of it seems to be going right and I'm having a hard time not spiraling into anger and meltdown every time something bad happens. It's tough. What do you do to find balance and relieve stress, and when do you know when you're OK to go back to the thing that was the problem? Those questions and then your thoughts on balance, in general.

[@fehrtheewell92]

Your content matters. Those moments where you trip over your words or make mistakes make you feel relatable, and the videos feel warmer and more personal. Maybe not everyone agrees with me on that, but for folks like me who are often stuck in bed with an illness I'll never be able to get rid of, it means the world to have content from someone so kind and real. Just know that there are folks out there that really benefit from what you do.

[@TheGayAva]

Honestly as someone with adhd the video in the background helps keep my attention it doesnt matter what video it is. I hope you get what you want out of this channel and that it takes your life kin a positive direction. We may just be subscribers but we also give a darn about your wellbeing.

[@ezramitchell4429]

Let me put it like this man. The majority of people come to KZbin to avoid the distress in their life. It’s an escape in a sense. I’m 27 years old and come to KZbin every day just to relax my mind. Having people, such as yourselves, talk about yourselves is super cool. We look up to you guys with admiration. So we definitely appreciate you and learning about you. So thank you John!

[@darkphoenix4417]

This may be a ridiculous question but what is it like being a KZbinr? Like what are challenges that we as the viewers don’t get to see and stuff like do you have process for coming up with video ideas and just that you usually don’t get to see. Also I think it’s really cool that you are able to come out with your feelings and share to the world, I think it’s really brave and very inspiring

[@Keydicken]

I'm not really into podcast-style videos, but something about the content on the channel here seems refreshing. I really love the legitimacy of your stories, and I hope that you can share some thoughts or anecdotes here, regardless of length.

[@Gaming2DMX]

Your not the only one who lacks confidence John. For instance, I got rejected by a girl I liked and I got pretty broken by it, now because of that I’m too afraid to tell my friend that I like her because I’m afraid the same thing will happen. We all suffer from some sort of confidence problems once in our lives, it’s something everyone’s gotta overcome over time, and I support you in that quest. And let’s be honest you already have a lot more confidence then the majority of the human race. I wish I had the confidence to show my face to people while playing Pokémon, whilst making jokes.

[@reallysadfrog2187]

hi john. been around since the days when it was the NOP team line-ups and draft league battles. Just wanted to say that those videos and so many more of yours kept me holding on when I was going through some dark times in my life. Know that you have already made a huge difference in many people's lives and we're always here to follow you in the direction you go. Thanks for all the good you do and the desire to do even more. Also, love the fall guys skin, 11/10.

[@ElfSwarm]

We believe and have the confidence in you, John! We love your wit, charm and energy! Thank you for being such a positive presence and whatever you put out, we will be here to listen and enjoy!

[@alduindvalin500]

Hello John, at the beginning of the video you talk about how you didn't think you could help people as much as old youtubers. About that: I just wanted to say that, as a relatively new subscriber, you help me out a lot. I haven't found a KZbinr that makes me smile as much as you and your content. You have quite the contagious laugh and smile if I may say. I always find myself smiling whenever I watch one of your videos so I wanted to thank you. I am pretty sure your subs will enjoy any content you will bring in the future.

[@lexijade4011]

There's a number of comments here already that have said what I want to say but better. Personally, I just love watching your videos and listening to your thoughts, hijinks and interests: for example I don't really care for sport, but listening to someone gush about things they enjoy gives me so much serotonin - there's been a number of times I've fallen asleep listening to your videos, streams and VODs (not in a creepy way, I promise). If you have a story to tell, tell it. It might not have a significant message in your opinion but I can almost guarantee that it will resonate with someone out there - and if not, then you've provided us with 10-15 minutes of an insight into you as a person rather than a KZbinr. That being said, if and when you find a way to work through the funk of self-confidence, I for one would love to hear it, as I can absolutely empathise with that and would value any insight into working on mental health and self-image. Look after yourself, man. You're an incredible person and a joy to watch, regardless of the subject matter.

[@ItzVul]

it's good to see your doing great these vids calm me down after a long day of school or just not feeling like i can put a smile on my face making this channel was good idea from the start i don't see many of these types of channels when the creator just talks about stuff like this i'm exited to see this channel grow and what you say in the next video (btw you are really good at fall guys i can't go past the first round💀)

[@ZancralthePariah]

I think that just by telling stories that might not have the most direct message might enable the audience to find questions within the story to understand thought processes and why you did what you did. Every moment can be a learning moment, even if it feels like there’s not much going on

[@thecre8ortyler620]

Life stories are so helpful to me personally. I don’t have questions to things I don’t know. Gaining new perspective is why I enjoy channels like this. It allows me to hear another perspective and use that in my life.

ngl confidence is something i feel i struggle with daily i´m not trying to sound cliche here just being honest and alt of the time especially as of late the only time i feel i can be myself is when i side away in my room listning to music playing games watching anime or hack watch videos made by my favorite youtubers whenever i would do just one of the things i feel much better ofcourse there´s some people IRL i enjoy being round to but lately i just feel like i wanna hide away by myself

[@jarjaracroft]

Love you dude. Your videos are wonderful and have helped me in some of my darkest times. Your energy, your kindness and sincerity, your relationship with mikey, it’s all such a great thing to watch and feel comfy with. You’ve helped all of us a lot, and it sucks that you haven’t been feeling great with this channel. I’m here for anything you wanna do.

Love hearing you talk about general topics about the roots of becoming a youtuber/the confidence of doing it as a job, and love the Fall Guys gameplay aswell 😂

[@Incardial]

I really love how honest you are with your content here and your perspective on things. It's super interesting to listen (as you mentioned the game: I don't normally look at the screen while listening, so I support the approach of just playing in the background what brings you joy at the moment) to your opinions on different stuff. If you'd like, I would love to hear about your take on artist block, creative fatigue and that kind of stuff as a person who is so creative in their day to day. How you deal with it, if at all or just general thoughts.

[@zen5015]

I feel like confidence is a thing a lot of people struggle with, but, I'd really like you to know, you always make me smile, or in this videos case, really emotional, your words really always reach my heart, you're one of the coolest guys I watch on KZbin, seeing you upload is always a highlight of my week, please stay the way you are, cuz you're awesome ❤ Thank you, John, for everything

[@MinteAndChoco4964]

I love it when you talk about just like life in general. It makes me feel very good inside when I know that I'm not the only one who struggles on things like these, heck someone I sort of look up to. It's really inspiring in a way I can't really explain. And If the story is long enough, when, and how did you get into Pokemon so much?

[@grahtman8947]

You're awesome, John! I've been working on starting up my own KZbin Pokemon channel and I can only dream of being as amazing as you and Mikey are. Seriously, the best content on KZbin. I look forward to it each week.

[@claytonvoller3426]

Hey john. I know it’s a painful topic, but you wanted deeper questions. My family recently had a dog pass away, and it reminded me that many have issues dealing with death. How do you and your clan deal with death and mourning. I find that you are never to old to hear other traditions surrounding hard times and would love to hear yours. Please disregard if you think this topic is to inappropriate for this channel. Hope you continue this channel because it is nice to hear your thoughts.

[@roozz33]

I am always happy to hear from you, John. Would you mind talking about your positive attitude? I'm always so happy and impressed to see your positive attitude. Whenever you're losing, or not doing well, you just seem happy anyway. I'd love to hear you talk about that!

[@lesbianmadness0210]

Talking about stuff like this really shows that people are never alone. Even the ones with the biggest smiles on their faces and with a massive fan base can have their issues. But videos like these are amazing and I would watch them for hours as a reminder that we are not alone in this world and it's OK to not have confidence sometimes.

[@benjamimditlev4857]

Hi John, i love you vids and they have helped me trugh hard times, im glad you have found the call to makeing more vids you have My full support king, don't let the crown Fall.

[@Rero64]

Hey John, I really appreciate how honest and upfront you are. I'm wondering, could you make a video about perfectionism in content creation, if it applies to you? As a small content creator, I, and I'm sure many others, struggle a lot with this. Sometimes, I find myself replacing the same old clip or edit in a video over and over again until I'm eventually satisfied enough, and I'm wondering what you've learned on the topic if you struggle with it. Much love :)

[@luke.frog07]

just remember john - whatever you do with this we'll support you in any way possible because we love you and you are that person you talk about, saying about those people who really helped you when you needed it, that's you for many people right now, and just the sight of anything to do with you makes their life just a little bit better and a little bit more worth living, and that is really what some people need, not massive changes that will change their life forever but just something that makes them feel slightly better, and that is what you do. so thank you. thank you so much :)

[@pandalord6735]

I love this channel and I got very emotional over the first couple of videos. I just wanna know your opinion on the importance of Collage and the general landscape of the job industry in America. I love hearing people's views on this and it is something I think about on a daily business. Love the content keep it up ❤❤❤

[@MNeko]

A question to John: What would be a dream home for you? (How much land, layout of house, type of environment, etc)

[@talklein39]

Starting anything could be tough. I think it took a lot of courage for you to do what you're trying to do here. And I think that it's brave of you to look outside of what will just be popular and actually asks the tough questions if you're looking for example. To good questions to talk about. I would try to talk about making friends especially in high school places like that because I think you're looking to talk to someone as your young self and I. Assume that that is one of those points and. Maybe about falling in love as a young adult and maybe challenges in school or in reading or stuff like that.

[@kenamarjohnson8979]

I always look forward to your work there always entertaining and fun. You're a very creative and funny creature. Sure, you don't always have the best ideas.

[@dmerkaGU10]

It was really nice hearing this. I've personally been struggling trying to make content for fun, but I get so caught up with small things that it takes me a long time. Even when I manage to get things in order, I struggle to be myself while on camera. It's like this imaginary pride won't let me do what im trying to do, and I feel an embarrassment that I can't figure out how to get past. I guess my question is go how do you get past that?

[@michaelgarcia2732]

Hey John, I just wanted to say it's been amazing watching you over the years and seeing you grow in your content and as a person. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say we support you. I myself personally have been struggling with my confidence for some years now. But I wanted to tell you that you've inspired me to try to go back to writing and making motivational quotes. I wish you luck John, and I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever you put out.

self confidence can be a flow of energy sometimes and can be affected by a lot of different things like weather, sleep quality etc. and when the doubts starts to sit in your mind it can be hard to get through, i have been not been feeling very confident in the last couple of months, but lately things got better and i regained my mojo ! when things like that happens, go back to basics look at what you have accomplished and in what state your personal life is in it should give you a bit of yeah things are going pretty good !

[@battistatylerselvaggio9919]

I don't usually comment much, but I feel I could here. You are an amazing person John and I am sorry you are dealing with confidence issues, in any case, I find this channel and in general this window on the John Guy more than PM7 refreshing. I am a 26 year old Italian man with an affinity with shiny collection and randomly stumbled upon one of your videos a year ago and, while arguably having not much of a habit in following creators I stuck around, perhaps even having streams in bg(I never followed streams, usually I tend to get bored in the long run or simply don't want to lose focus in other things I am doing) or rarely commenting with a few memes and I feel even your mundane talk or stories are nice to put you at ease, like talking to an old friend. I am happy that you decided to do a channel of this type in which you can show more of your character and not only the funny frog man PM7 which is only a fragment of the picture of John. I hope to see more of those videos, they don't really have to be amazing stories, just because, like when you are talking to an old friend, you have an interest in listening what they want to tell you, on both serious or meme subjects.

[@ivandominguez504]

Dude your a hell of a creator! Pokemon player with football knowledge? I am the same way and it’s so hard to find that. I really enjoy your videos man.

[@CreativeRed4]

I've got two questions, or I guess topics, that I'd love to hear you talk about. Firstly, competitive pokemon battling. How you got into it, maybe how people can get into it, what the community is like, what competitive pokemon battles are like. Secondly, I know you've done some work with the Trevor project, donating money there. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the organization, why you picked that one to donate, stuff like that.

[@harrisdavid912]

My joking comment about the Nicene Council aside, I really feel you here. I came out of grad school about a year ago with a lot of trauma from an abusive research advisor and I've been left with very little self confidence as a result. I'm now working in an amazing job at a great company that actually treats me like a person, I have face time with the company president multiple times a week and have been given great trust. I own a house and have a lovely wife at 24, but when I make a judgement calls I always second guess every decision I make. With that said, is there something that you think informs your lack of confidence?

[@snxwy7778]

I don't know if it helps. But you made me love Pokemon all other again, for me you are the youtuber that help me through rough time. Really I can't thank you Enough.

[@artisti7555]

Since this video was about the struggle with confidence, I'll give it a shot and try to write and hopefully publlish this comment, as well. My point of view about well known people, celebrities included, they are all still people, still human beings, they have their own struggles and problems, every single one of them. The thing is, that nearly noonene of these people talk about their struggles. Your intention of talking about exactly this for helping others is such a wonderful thing to see, I really like the thoughts you put behind this channel, and the way you put it up and just give it a shot. My personal question would be, if you had to deal with some sort of pressure in the past, and if so, if you would tell us the story about how you dealt with this pressure, or would deal with it today. Thanks for reading

[@MNeko]

It stinks that you have some struggles with confidence, but it also helps others to hear that a wonderfully upbeat like yourself can also have those struggles. Thank you for sharing that

John, if I’m being honest with you there are so many things you create with those moments of imperfection that make you all the more relatable. I may not be in the same line of work but a question comes to mind about how you have changed your measure of success and how do you deal with those moments of lack of confidence in your efforts? Have you figured out a way to approach your goals that make them feel attainable? Just something that I feel is a struggle for me as I often feel less than confident in my abilities in the moment as well. If you have the chance to respond that would be awesome but I appreciate your content and your vulnerability to share your thoughts as well.

[@Merp998]

I don't have any specific questions that I can think of to ask right now, but I am at a point in my life where things are getting confusing. I'm about to graduate from highschool, and I don't know where to go from here. I'm going to college because that's what I'm supposed to do, but I have no idea what I want to study. My parents are religious and want me to go on a mission but I've been having a lot of doubts about religion and don't know how to tell anyone. I also want to start my own KZbin channel, but I find it so easy to get distracted from working, especially with other things happening in my life like work and school. It feels like I'm trying to balance a million things at once and it's splitting me apart. I don't have any specific question to ask, this is just what I've been feeling.

[@keegandenis9877]

Awesome to hear this but for him to say he’s not that confident but still managed to make Pokémon content at our age is amazing. As someone trying to start on KZbin with no idea what to post and so scared of what people have to say about me negatively it’s stopping me from posting anything I need to know how you overcame that fear! Especially in personal life.

I love Marvel Snap too, so cool to learn that about you. Have you thought about colabbing with one of the snap creators and making a video or just do one of you playing snap and giving your thoughts?

I had the idea of posting a Let's Play on Scarlet, but I deleted my recording about ten minutes in because I got discouraged. I'm not as charismatic as you or Mikey (I look up to you guys a lot), so I decided to just...not. So the fact that you also have these moments...it's kind of encouraging to me and makes me want to try again with the next new release. I love your one-liners. I also love the spin on basic idioms that you throw in there from time to time, and I use them in my conversations sometimes. My favorite is "I'm wanting to kill two birds with one stone. ...I have terrible aim. What do you expect?" Here's a question: During your toughest moments, what's one thing that keeps you going during a rough time? I'll be honest when I say that sometimes the one thing that keeps me going is the fact that we need my paycheck to pay bills...but I also know that my friends care about me. I also have dreams for the future. Small ones, but they're dreams.

Hey, don't be hard on yourself, you're such a great creator, and that's why people like to hear about you, but if you don't wanna talk about that, I'm positive your fans will listen to anything you want want to tell them, answers, stories, all of it. One could say I put the PM7 guarantee down! I want you to know that you've changed and helped a LOT of people, including myself, just like you were changed by others.

As a person who has always struggled with confidence(and, for the most part, words), I always look to your content to give me a laugh. You're one of the funniest person I've got to seen, and whatever this channel has in store, I'll be sure to keep myself updated each upload, and on the other 2 channels too. Just remember that you have a large fanbase that like your content for you. Whatever is gonna happen next, I just hope that you can be ok.

I know I'm one of thousands in this section, but on the chance you do read this i can personally tell you that you have helped me laugh in the midst of difficult times in life and helped me keep a better view on said times and I know you've done the same for many others for much more serious situations. I personally find your channel (PM7 and this one) more helpful than many of those other KZbin channels you made this channel because of, so basically summary of the long comment Thank you for everything you do and I hope the struggles with confidence eventually go away. Thank you.

it would be cool to have an hour long podcast version of this where you just answer some questions and stuff, it'd be neat

[@elijahbechdel9328]

Now I know I'm just a subscriber who watches Your vods and it isn't really special at that point but as a content creator you're goal is to make entertaining videos for all of us to enjoy I can't tell you how much I love just to sit back and watch one of your live streams when I have the chance just so I could just hear what you have to say because in my opinion you are a very well knowledgeable guy a very funny guy and I think that's what the main aspect is to it that you create such a positive environment And I know for me personally that's what I love about the PM7 channel yeah Mikey's cool but John's also really cool

Okay so I've been struggling recently with missive burnout with college, and feel like the path of going to college to get a job that I don't really care about is not for me. I really would like to make something on KZbin that would allow me to better express my creativity and am going to take some time off to see what I can create. I would love to hear anything that you think that someone who is trying to figure out what they want their life to look like. I love the videos on this channel, and wanted to say thank you for clarifying the direction that you want this channel to take. I know that a lot of people (me included) will/have received a lot of vale from someone just sharing their perspective. You're the best John, and can't wait for what's next!

Honestly I think this kind of content is pretty needed in the present landscape, it acts as a counterbalance to the Content(tm) grind and the hypermasculine posturing to just hear a well-spoken dude with a head on his shoulders give thoughts in like a newspaper column way. It might be a good idea to have like a google form or something along the lines for questions, if people don't want to be "publicly" tied to their question! Being a similar age as you I probably don't have the right set of questions for this (eg how to deal with imposter syndrome given what you've said in the video lol), but I'd be curious about how you go about setting goals and targets for yourself, as well as managing expectations about them.

[@lotusblossom101]

John, I just want to let you know that your fun videos make everyone happy. Your joy is contagious. You can take it slow and maybe do a video where we can ask you fun questions, if the questions may be too intimate or private to answer. Maybe do collab videos with other KZbinrs playing lighthearted games like fall guys where each player answers the questions so you don’t feel as pressured and can crack jokes with each other. It is important that you feel comfortable, first and foremost. Maybe like Mario carts. You don’t have to go one direction, you can do different series of videos. We want you to build confidence again, and sometimes hearing stories that may not have deeper meanings can mean the world to people that sometimes you don’t always need a deeper meaning. Why not start with fun things like childhood favorite movies and characters and why.

[@kirstenforbes8159]

When people look up at people i think they forget that we all start at the same place. So I think it is important to remember people of this to help them not be discourage to move forward. Also I watch pogo player that streams on the other platform and he has mental health Mondays. we all just get together, talk and watch him play. it's it's really fun and enjoyable.

[@carkitten77]

You keep me going everyday keep up the great work

[@NinJenna]

I would say 'Don't overthink it,' but S someone who overthinks everything I know that's not great advice. The best thing I have always found to do when you get crippled by doubt is just do one thing. Be it play a game, record some audio, write down some ideas, just the one thing and then go from there. Wishing you the best of luck John 😁
