Social media did this to you?? | Benedict Cua

Socials: @benedict_cua

[@xxxxxxxxxx1600]

You are the only vlogger I sticked to since the first time I watched your vid, and it was the time you were approaching quarterlife crisis. I enjoyed it as it was so raw and genuine. And now that I am 23, I never thought that I will face the same crisis you had before. The reason why I continue watching your vids, is that I see my self on you. I love doing self-reflection. I love enriching my wisdom. I enjoy my company, but I also don't restrict myself from socializing but always making sure to set boundaries and maintain selected inner circle. The same as you, joyful din ako. But from the reflections I did, I think na prone ang mga lalaki sa quarterlife crisis, especially sa mga lalaking sobrang binuo yung direction and goals nila since teenage yr. But nung sumabak na sa real world, parang hindi sumasang-ayon ang lahat. To the point na puro kwestyon ng sarili at kinakain na tayo ng anxiety.

[@BenedictCua]

Proud of you ❤

[@michellegeraldino8566]

Somehow we feel the same way as you Sir Ben, drained sa pagpupush maging someone else na mag-fit in sa society tapos natatakot sa sasabihin ng iba. Me, I understood why I needed to be alone and left out by those special persons whom I treasure the most. And to my bff's mahal ko kayo kahit ano pa or maging sino kayo.. ❤️

[@renzcachapero2023]

Sakto kuya Ben, I watched your vlog when I'm currently setting my 2024 Goals. This vlog helped me to be true to myself and realized that I should IDGAF to any possible circumstances that might come. Just focus on the reality and keep moving forward towards my goal. Thank you!!!!! See yeah!

[@itsk3n]

i love how articulate you are in this vlog ben! this is why many people adore you since then. continue inspiring and motivating us through your wisdom and values ❤️

[@onceuponalonetime]

Super agree on the reflection on the designer stuff segment. To each their own and respect to unique preferences pero agree on not focusing on luxury but on experiences and meaningful and purposeful relationships. Kaya I'm so amazed kahit medyo matagal ka na in the industry, relatable ka pa rin

[@averyleighxoxo_]

You are adorable Ben! You are setting a very high standard for other influencers. You are such a gem. ❤ Please continue to be a good influencer. People need to see this vlog to appreciate and be more kind sa sarili nila.

[@Tallyyynath]

Thanks ben, di ako nagkamali to subscribe on your channel. Mostly ng nasabi mo ngayon, sila yung issues na currently dinideal ko and your words made me realized na oo nga no? Mas okay yung ganun and it touched my heart. ❤ Sobrang genuine ng mga vlogs mo.

[@emdretv]

Agree💯 lumiliit cicles ko habang tumatanda ako. Ganto talga ata pag 30's and up na hehe! Tama lang yan Ben for your own comfort. Be yourself. Wag mo na pansinin mga nega vibes. ❤ celebrate yourself din kahit off screen . Basta you live your life to the fullest na hindi pinipilit ang sarili sa mga bagay na di ka comfortable. 🎉

[@emmanowelabocala]

Sobrang naappreciate kita benedict. :( I've been watching you sa tiktok and/or dito sa youtube lately. feeling ko may virtual friend and adviser ako every time I watch your vlogs. Hoping for your happiness and Im rooting for you! Fighting!

[@user-xyzabc143]

Ben ang ganda ng thoughts mo dito. Napakasuperficial na ng karamihan now, but really, if you think about it, it does not really matter in the end. ❤️ Salamat for sharing from your heart.

[@christianjayberonia3588]

I haven’t watched your vlog for more than a year, it’s refreshing to be back and i can see improvement especially on the value your putting out ❤

[@alpe8096]

ang sarap lang ng vlog na to para lang tayong magkaharap na nagkwekwentuhan, no toxicity just chika chika lang 🥹

[@ramblingsofa30ish]

this is so comforting. nakakapagod din kasi talaga makipag-sabayan. damang-dama kita

[@christianh.mercado6249]

Looking forward watching your vlogs na mas makafocus on creating memories 🥰🥰🥰 yun talaga ang namimiss ko na cintent mo kuya tsaka yung ganito na kwentuhan vibes lang 🥰🥰🥰 Sana makita ulit kita soon🤗

[@IamEathletic]

Just be yourself Ben and we will support you in the best way that we can! Laban lang sa buhay, not easy to do but we have to!! I wish you all the best and continue to be a blessing to all your viewers! 😊🙃

[@gedionpedrajas7734]

thanks for sharing Benedict❤️ Ito talaga gusto ko. Ung may matututunan ka pag pinapanood mo. 🙂

[@jenrylgarcia1232]

Kuya Ben, if it is not too much po. Sana may Q&A ulit po from your followers then mamimili kayo. Nakakamiss lang kahit I don't have the opportunity to ask you a question (hindi napili) nakakarelate pa rin ako. Forever grateful na nakakanood po ako ng vlog mo. Anyway, 5hrs po screentime ko kapag maghapon na hindi busy sa pagaaral.

[@iammarcrovy]

Ako natutunan ko recently that we are operating on different levels of consciousness as human beings. As we go on with life, some get their awakening earlier or ahead than others, and at that point you may feel like you're becoming a different person or a different version of you has just emerged. When you reach a higher level of consciousness that influences your character development I think yun ang totoong "level up."

[@Nudalo19]

Habang kumakain ako ng breakfast bago ko pumasok sa trabaho, pinapanood kita Ben! Parang may kasabay na akong kumain at kausap. Thanks for this, I was also thinking of 2024 goals. Since I have achieved most of my goal this year. For next year naman ang iniisip ko. ❄️

[@marycrisaquino4118]

I've been watching your videos lately, and it feels like nag uusap lang po Tayo nasasatisfy po ako. Thank you sa mga wisdom na napupulot ko kuya ben❤ lovelots❤️

[@jeomarquiro]

Nakikita ko na yung BEN.. na gusto ko makita... Literally na overwhelmed ka before... at ang hirap nman din toaga e handle... Wala nga ako SOCMED.. Eh 🤣 YT lang... Sapat na... Keep it up BENNIE BOY.... 💗💗💗

[@jenilynlascanorivera4944]

Thank you kuya ben for sharing a good advice parang half ng baggage ko na let go ko na i feel more freedom living by my own means super helpful thank you kuya ben❤

[@scottielaxamana]

Thats what u called adulting..ung mga ganyang realization..habang tumatanda tayo more on gusto nlng natin simple at peaceful na buhay ❤❤

[@itsmeTRACY06]

This!! Lahat ng pumapasok sa isip ko while nagmumuni muni natackle mo ben... grabe yung amount of wisdom!.. relate ako dun sa unmotivated hahahah. If i feel like ayaw ko gawin, i'll stop for awhile. Para maregain ko ung self ko., then balik if want na... Lalo sa pag upload ang kaibahan lang natin sikat ka 😁, kaya mas lalo ako tinamad eh shugal mamonitize 🤣.. anyway more of this topic. Mental health awareness, how to become a better version of yourself, life crisis and how to cope up with this❤️❤️ you represents us with this kind of videos.

[@sporadicfaneurysm]

Love this so much!! 🥹🥰🥰🥰 It's always a pleasure to listen to your thoughts & insights.. Natutuwa ako sa'yo, shoti Ben, for being transparent about your life's highs & lows, kasi it DOES help.. Pinakapeyborit kong pulot is yung kahit di ka motivated just move, simple pero totoo naman kasi.. Marami ka ngang na-learn na it took me much much longer/later to realize, & I'm actually still in the midst of applying in my life since I lack consistency.. Also, character milestones are, for me, the best milestones to aspire for.. As a homeschooling mom, yun actually ang turo sa amin na character development is a higher priority than academic achievements, kasi kung maganda foundation ng character ng child, great things will also follow.. Anyway, thank you for this vlog.. Stay healthy, happy, & true to yourself.. Keep inspiring.. God bless you always.. 保重! 🤗🤗🤗

[@SnapsByKei]

Thanks for this Benny, totally agree. Yakap! 🤗🤗🤗

[@ahjoon1ce]

I once had consistent amount of 15 hours of screentime before but it's down to 5 to 7(ish) hours nalang after finding out na I was depressed pala that's why I feel odd and unproductive for the past 3 years. I'm still improving and malayo pa, but at least malayo na. I just home this stays consistent up until 2024 and more up coming years. Thanks for this video, kuya Ben! this suddenly gave me flashbacks on how I stuggle to help myself even to get out of bed and try every sort of ways to be productive.

[@chanieyeol]

hay heart u, you've helped a lot since pre-pandemic. HAPPY FOR YOUR GROWTH

[@nathandeleon5229]

That’s what you call “ Individuation”

[@LeoJayNocosVirtucio]

I agree!-Christine Nocos of UC-Banilad!!!

[@ArohaLyn]

Love you, Ben!!! Stay true to yourself…always here for you.

[@Ms_Patatas]

This is one of the few vloggers I would like to meet in person 😊😊 kasi feeling ko madami akong matututunan in life at feeling ko din mag ki click kami 😅

[@cristinapayad5083]

For me, your branding will be your authentic self. I think you're a very passionate person. Because a passionate person always thinks of what he does right and wrong na sometimes overwhelms you. Many people aren't aware or doesn't care about the implications of their doings. Be young and continue to try everything responsibly. Mistakes will broaden your wisdom, and your wisdom will inspire alot of people.

[@itsyogirljyzzle5427]

Hello Ben💗 thank you sa video na to, you should really start a podcast. Grabe yung wisdom mo, and by the way you talk Sobrang Nakaka relax. 🤍 Parequest naman, How do you continue to motivate yourself to show up sa gym? How do you control yourself on your cravings?

[@nicajeon]

one of my fave vloggers. a vlogger with substance 😌

[@sidearea]

Perfect for 2023 reflections 😊thank you for inspiring us 😊❤

[@maxxne]

waaaaahh so comforting naman this vid :( very genuine yung realizations

[@LailaniEpia]

Hi Ben. I like your vlogs, parang nagkkwento talaga. Yung totoo lang about life. Keep it up!

[@annakatrina9461]

Just continue what you feel like doing. I appreciate that you don’t want to be like everyone else and taking consideration your mental health.

[@ogie1130]

Nakaka motivate lang na mag workout.😆 Let's push ourselves towards our goals.

[@jericallenalfonso5450]

Tama si Ben. Yun bang ang sabi mo sisilip ka lang ng mabilis sa phone mo(ssm) tapos hindi mo namamalayan naka 1hr ka na. Tapos tatamarin ka nang gawin yung gagawin mo.

[@sunmoon551]

Hindi ko alam kung anong mas nangingibabaw yung gutom o maging emotional kasi ang lakas ng tama sa akin nung vlog pero yung pickle talaga nakakagutom🥲🥲🥲

[@paulypaulBLupdates]

Thank u for your words♥️ needed it so bad😢

[@renzcachapero2023]

Sarap manood ng vlog na tuloy-tuloy. Walang Ads hahaha ems

[@eddielynrabe9448]

Sa totoo lmg gustong gusto ko mga vlog mo,kasi ang saya saya lng,nakaka pulot pa ng aral sa buhay buhay..at my sense of humor,and so witty pa 😊 sana mag cover ka ulit ng songsss please...

[@JMYoutubeChannel]

16hrs basta kapag naka gising na cellphone na agad walang bitawan

[@terryarinto]

Super ❤ that you’re moving to a more well meaning content! Stay strong in mind and body and enjoy your every day to the best you can. Big hug from 🇪🇸!

[@leetapnio2140]

Thanks,Ben for inspiring us to be the better version of ourselves. All the best! 😁

[@tabithac9810]

Thank you kuys ben for showing us your growth as a person. Parang we are also growing together with you, gets ba hahaha

[@raymonddelacruz1280]

I'm getting so much knowledge, ideas, and life lessons that I didn't know I needed from you, so take all the time that you need when it comes to vlogging. I'm not going to talk on behalf of everyone but I will definitely wait for your next upload 😊

[@louisity]

I like how your vlogs have a touch/tinge of conversations about platonic relationships. Also, I like that this tackles self-discovery at least in some way.

[@sapierasisters822]

Ben, gawa kana anak!!!! hehe.. I super love this vlog of yours! more content like this

[@barromarklee4539]

This is my second time watching your vlog and ill definitely go back and check you channel for more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and cant wait to watch your new video

[@alcaldemargaret8837]

This episode heals something on me that I can't figure out

[@emjayimub]

yung lasa ng pickle dinescribe n lng gamit facial expressions hahaha. iba k tlg 😆 luh, nagcomment n ko s start ng vlog, then all of a sudden naging deep yung topic ng video. hehehe. but true po, just like you I don't see the point in buying expensive material things - in the end, so long as something serves it purpose no matter how cheap it is, it's ok. ☺ tas yun n nga, matapos mag life talk, bigla balik s pickle mukbang hahaha. this is why I love your vlogs...it's a rollercoaster. di n kelangan mag EK 😆

[@nncy.esprnza]

hi ben! napacheck tuloy ako ng screentime ko. haha. avg is 6 hrs. mga ganon. sakto yung topic ng vlog mo na to kasi recently lang nag-on ako ng app limit at downtime sa phone ko kasi usually kapag nagstart na ko manood ng reels di ko na sya mapigilan. nakakaapekto na sa chores ko. haha. so far nahihirapan pa ko magadjust pero pinipilit ko ilessen paggamit ng socmed apps. more on messenger nalang muna. hahaha. pero i agree sa lahat ng sinabi mo dito. same thoughts!! and feeling... i feel lazy... demotivated these past few days. siguro part na din sa quarter life crisis naeexperience ko now. nilalabanan ko naman para kahit papano maging productive pa rin ang mga araw ko.

[@aljoneagustin]

Thank you for the reminder, Ben. ❤

[@christianmercado5048]

Thank you dito Ben! Hahaha DI KO NEED NEW THINGS!

[@aneequheart8979]

Mine screen time is 15 hours. Ang pinakamataas, 7 hrs pinakamababa. Ako lang kasi mag-isa sa bahay and sa phone ako nanonood ng mga kdramas, reading mangas and games din. As in wala akong makausap sa personal and virtual din. Kaya, normal na siguro sakin yung 15hrs.

[@erenenpagod4129]

I've noticed the difference from Ben. At one point talaga he became obsessed with fame- borderline becoming trying hard. But right now I can sense that his character had a major shift- he just grew tired of everything and just wanted to LIVE. ❤❤❤ I live for the carefree, and less superficial life. (pero an yaman mo paren beh haha) Keep it up and proud of you Ben. You still look a bit sad tho, but better than before.

[@BenedictCua]

Haha I appreciate it. Labyu! Not sad, just chill talking and not as hyper as before kasi nakakapagod 🤣🤣

[@nicg9242]

Nice!! may onting financial advices!! ☺️ Hope it'll inspire young people to be aware of their finances..

[@kjreyess]

i always love your wisdom! thanks for the motivation!

[@intheeyesofrevin]

ive been like this for over a year now, whenever i go to socmed i cant avoid being jealous and sad over other people acomplishments and perfect moments. But now im doing small things at a time, I uninstalled tiktok for almost a year now and im glad i dont have the urge to go back to it. Also just this week i bought an old smartphone to limit what i can do with it. Kaya sana next year maging best year for my mental health. Kaya natin to :)

[@cxguillen]

Maligayang Pasko, Ben. Tama yan

[@charlsjohnquimba5413]
