An emotional support Viking is the best thing to ever come from the Internet, and I love it

[@brianevans6423]

[@j.d.naradjr.758]

You dont know how you're videos impact me ......thank you! And Hammer!

[@AaronFava]

Earl Tank, thank you for a message to encourage. Old wounds run deep and are felt reopened during the holidays. I have dreaded Christmas and hearing others say it means the world. Travel safe family and be blessed!

[@arthurwhite100]

I could have used this message other years. I’m lucky enough now not to be alone anymore but I think that there are many that will benefit from your kind words. Well done! Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸👋

[@franken-pattern]

You're beautiful, too, Tank! Merry Christmas ✨️🎄✨️

[@Matthew-xh4uz]

Damn, this made me cry! Love you, Tank... you're a very good man.

[@WaterlilyBambi]

Stop making me cry ya adorable lad!

[@ninaisreal5576]

I needed that today. Thank you friend. ❤

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

Thank you, Tank. I masked myself around almost everyone for decades, not knowing I was actually autistic and ADHD. “Fitting myself into a smaller box” was exhausting, always trying to be “calm and pleasant.” It was difficult but liberating when, after my very late diagnosis, I finally learned to allow my silliness, exuberance, sensitivity, and my own needs back out into regular daylight. Thank you for understanding and supporting everyone who has had to squeeze themselves into a box they never asked for.💝✨ Wishing you the brightest of holidays!🕊️

[@thegracklepeck]

This is me exactly. I hope your holidays are filled with warmth and joy, knowing yourself and not apologizing for being your unique self ❤

[@Cock_It]

Thank you brother. What’s it like to be loved by people you don’t even know?

[@lionessoftor4139]

Thank you for being the positivity I need. Sometimes before I even know I'm struggling. I tend to disassociate when stressed. Then you come and it's like taking a deep breath. Thank you Tank! Have a great holiday season and even better new year.

[@Z-Hunter649]

Thanks, Tank. My mom's boyfriend has recently proposed, and my siblings and my mom get to meet the rest of the blended family, which has me a little nerve wrecked. Thanks for the motivation boost. Have a good Christmas. HAMMMAAR!!!

[@wingeddrake4227]

Hugs, friend. All the hugs.

[@michelleagnew8780]

Happy Solstice, Tank! ❤ ❄🌲❄ Thank you for being you!

[@sararathbun4268]

Thank you, Tank. Your words were exactly what I needed to hear. Love and blessings, Brother.

[@death12100]

Thank you Tank I am having a better day after watching your vid hope you have a relaxing Christmas with famliy

[@rogannmcfall3138]

God bless you friend! We do not know each other but I believe in you. Your dream is beautifully amazing!

[@ziummikal9643]

I don't know why but felt that I needed that pep talk.

[@TheWiseRaven]

Thanks Tank! Heading back down to England for the holidays in a couple of days and I've been dreading it. Somehow, your videos always find me when I need them the most! So thank you! And Merry Christmas 🎅

[@eightiesforever7795]

I wish that I had been told this a long time ago, it took me far too long to realise that I needed to be myself, not what people expected me to be 😊

[@R4ng3rG33k]

Thank you Tank, Happy Holidays.

[@theweirdowatermelon3354]

Thank you Tank these videos are alway the high light of my day! Hope you have an amazing holiday and a great New years and the same to all who read this comment.

[@Oceanview-d7h]

You allways make my day thank you for this I know for sure I will be watching this again on Christmas Day ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BookwormDCR]

I appreciate the virtual hug. Every time. I myself am a bit hugger, (though I haven't been doing much of it lately sadly. It can be tough finding other huggers) So this is awesome for me.

[@Tiffthehuman]

Knowing you have a safe space with chosen family when you don't have one with biological family is so important to have. ❤ thank you Tank

[@talos115]

I lost my brother. I miss him a lot.

[@catcolb11]

I'm sorry for your loss. We've had several deaths in my family this past year. It's been a hard year. I hope the new year brings healing and happiness.

[@IdaDuplechin]

So sorry to hear this. Know that your words have been read and you're being sent blessings. Peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏

[@adedow1333]

I've got a bigger personality, and I've become hyper-aware of "taking up space" as you say in social situations. I tend to make a bit of a bang walking into a room, not as a physical noise, but more psychological. People are almost always aware of me. I have to concentrate to not feel like the center of attention. It's good to know that even when I am, its not a bad thing. It's just hard to keep the balance to let other people shine too.

[@DoctorPhilGud]

Love you tank. Thankyou for these.

[@rubikcuube9950]

This is beautyful. Thank You❤

[@boblablablaw6677]

Blessing to you Tank. HAMMER!!!

[@Qcw9135]

Thank you man for making videos like this they always gives me hope and a little reassurance, I doubt you’ll read this but I just want to show my appreciation to the channel

[@jonathanmerrell5766]

Honestly, you're one of the few people that I actually like to meet in person. Get to know

[@mindstormmaster]

Thank you for being you TT, I am excited to play a D&D character inspired by these shorts you create in the new year!

[@living4107]

you always lift my mood... thank you. hope you had a nice yule

[@theanonymousprepperchannel]

Always important to promote good energy my friend. Not many of us left that do this in this dark world that grows darker each day. Namaste ☯️

[@justiceforall274]

I needed to see this video, thank you 😊

[@thegracklepeck]

That was a lovely message. As a late diagnosed autistic AFAB individual, this was really reassuring that I am enough. I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not. Thank you.

[@Mylife123jo]

Thanku 😊

[@SerrynRS]

thank you Tank

[@SilvrWingsDragon]

Needed this after a friend told me they didn't want what I had spent so much time on. This helps.

[@TexJester-no8th]

I learned this lesson about 20 years ago - I'm now 61. I've been a lot more content with life. When you change who you are for someone else, you start losing who you are - and that can lead to all manner of psychological issues. Be who you are, and if people don't like it, screw them! Find people who do like it.

[@ScottBurgess-i4v]

Thank you. You know how to talk to people

[@manuelkatholnig3149]

Help people is good...but he knows who need it at most in the right Moment...I really think that he saved people with his humanity 👉👍👈

[@voswell3292]

I recently left a job where I felt I needed to play small to allow space for my manager (new to leading people) to feel comfortable. Two years of misery later, I finally realized there is plenty of space available. I never needed to be small. Take up the space you need. There is plenty of room for everyone.

[@Sem-xy1lc]

Thank you Jarl Tolman, for being here when I need you and when I think I dont need you. ❤

[@wytewillow00]

Thank you Tank. This time of year is so hard for me. I truly have no friends nor family. It is emotionally painful. It’s nice I don’t have the need to fit in another person’s box though😏😊

[@ninjafist101]

Thanks for the positivity and reassurance, my friend! But I am not worried I won't fit in with those I am around. It's more than the season has been made a little sour because of someone I don't see as often anymore. The family I spend this time with this time of the year are always there for me (and you, of course!) to make it better!

[@bryancoffey9320]

This time of year is hard for alot of people. Keep doing what you do. You touch alot of them. He who talks softly but carries a big HAMMER!.

[@SallyClapper-y8e]

A warm and wonderful blessing to us all. 💚 Thank you.

[@musicenjoyer8605]

Keep up the positivity, it's wonderful to see.

[@ChelseaDry-tn9pe]

Thank you Tank this really helps me with my own anxiety and aggression and depression

[@rila9476]

I really needed this. Holiday time isn't exactly overwhelming for me since I don't spend it really with anyone but I do still feel like I take up space and am a burden to most. Every time I come across your videos it makes me smile and cry a bit. I don't usually have a reason to smile. so thank you for giving me one whenever I find your videos

[@JillDonaho-q1d]

Akways giving advice to better the world. Hugs are healing.❤

[@christineungaro3246]

[@DraconicFlower-mz5lw]

As a closeted gay teenager, this one felt INCREDIBLY personal But like in a good way, I can't tell how that came off lol

[@duanepreston6342]

Thank you, my friend. I needed that more then you could have known. Hard times for me right now. But you sead exactly what I needed to hear. Bravely carry on, bravely carry on!

[@StarLightVenus]

Thank you very much for this. I needed this tonight and I think a lot of people need to hear these words. Love you Tank!❤

[@MsMeffie]

Thank you for this. Those videos of yours always make me emotional (and I always see them when I need to, it seems).

[@billiehudspeth5015]

I love you. You give me hope and joy.

[@chrisburdick8393]

Thank you sir for all you do

[@darknessmohag6181]

honestly.. I am one of those that feel like being around people (family/friends) can be a bit overwhelming. I tend to never be able to spend more then some hours on get togethers and such before I need to pull myself back and be alone. there is people in my life that think that I am wrong in wanting to leave get togethering earlier then others.. just because its family. and sadly it gotten me to feel disconnected from a lot of them.

[@Vikingo_cubano789]

Thanks you very much my friend I need this, you are the best psicologist I never had

it doesnt exactly fit my current funk, trying to draw and paint but failing at both, but it still makes me feel better. keep up the awesome stuff tank!

[@theSheighani42]

Wish I got this as a kid 🥲 still struggle with trying to fit others' expectations and demands. Regardless if it hurts me or not... Thank you Tank. Ever always be yourself! 😊 hammar on!

[@reddragonlegacy]

This time of year has always been rough. Lost my mom 8 years ago. Turns out she was the "Christmas Spirit" of the house. Always making sure everything was decorated, the house always smelled like baked goods, and there was always Christmas Music or Movies on in the house. This year, we lost my grandmother to Cancer, and my grandfather is in the Hospital recovering from Pneumonia. I have been run so ragged trying to keep everyone else together that I'm burning out. I'm depressed. I'm exhausted. Because anytime anything happens in this family, I'm the one called to "put out the fire". I'm the one called when the nieces and nephews aren't behaving and need to be out of the parents hair for a bit. I'm the one that gets called when others are having money troubles, barely being able to take care of my own things. I'm the one that gets called on for everything. Yes, it's Family and I will do anything for them. But I just need a rest. I'm grateful for them, and love them all. But I just need a break...

[@L-ghtlessSky]

judging solely by that “ooouahh” you probably give THE BEST hugs. like. proper dad hugs.

[@haribodriving5951]

Much love brother ❤

[@TheKjoy85]

One of the hardest things about this holiday season is realizing that there were no family gatherings for us to go to now that my grandpa is gone. For the last 6 years or so, my mom, my brother, and I have been taking Christmas dinner over to my grandpa's house and eating with him. My grandma died 7 years ago, so without us, he was alone. Without him, we had nowhere to go, and money was too tight for us to buy each other presents. I have a 6 month old Mastiff puppy, so all my "extra" money has gone to food and toys for her.
