A video about self-worth would be nice! And a serious video about ways to build strong relationship would be also very interesting for me
I've been where you've been in the past, and I understand the hopelessness and isolation the comes with it. I found that building relationships with others is the easiest way to boost self esteem and motivation, since having a lot of close friends to fall back on when you are at a low keeps you on your feet. Just remember, we might be some random people on the Internet, but we all understand and want to help you. Love the vids, but do whatever makes you happy. That's what's most important.
i literally don't even mind what kinda content you make because i honestly just love watching you and your bubbly personality
Super relating to this situation. January didn't get off to a great start so kind of lost all the momentum I'd been trying to build up. I'm only just now starting to get to a point where it seems like I might get back on track eventually. I think the thing is to not beat yourself up over it and keep trying as best you can. We'll get there in the end! x
Stay strong Jenny, you are AMAZING!!
youree amazing jenny keep strongxx
Jenny, we will watch and understand any crazy content you want to put up. You can make a sad or funny or serious video and we will support you no matter what. It's your channel that we enjoy and watch, and it's because of you. Make what you have fun doing and we will love it, because it is real and that is what matters. ♡
I love your courage of being open, which helps me a lot by being relatable and yet it is something I lack
It doesn't matter how much you upload, even seeing a video from you once in a while still brightens up peoples day. You do you! If you need to take time for you, do it!
Jenny, can I just say that I think you are such a nice person and (one of) the main reasons I enjoy watching your videos is because you are so lovely and so down to Earth, and just wonderful. ☺️
I really don't think it matters what you produce, I think the important thing to focus on is consistency and releasing something weekly. That way you'll feel better about yourself and you have this thing to show to yourself that you've been productive, and it will make your audience to grow again. Just my thoughts :). Been watching for awhile now and I can relate to a lot of your struggles.
I'm so glad you addressed this, I feel like I am going through exactly the same thing if desperately wanting to do something you love but just not doing it for lack of motivation. This has definitely inspired me to get back to being productive doing the things I love, so well done you, and thank you :)
This is scarily relevant right now... Thank you for this
I feel like I'm in a very similar place to you to do with motivation and frustration at feeling like I'm not moving forward in life. Videos where you talk about things like this
really matter to me
Hello! I am having the same problem with my song and poem writing. I totally get it. When the timing is right, when you come back to it, it will come together. 😊
Hey again, Jenny. Congrats for getting this video out in the end! I know how frustrating it is to struggle with something that used to come so naturally. And it's hard to describe to people who haven't experienced the same issues just how difficult it is.
I was given one piece of advice that might help, though it's still quite difficult to follow and that is "don't think about it." It's really difficult to turn those worrying thoughts into positive ones, and I don't know how easy it is when it comes to something like making videos, but just forcefully ignoring those worries (even if you can't replace them on the spot with positives) has helped me a bit, especially with simple tasks.
I assume if you manage to keep it up long enough you develop the habit and those worries die down, but I haven't got there myself quite yet so I can't tell you. Good luck. ;)
Don't get discouraged. You're amazing. When I see how sad and frustrated you are, I just want to hug you. From what little I know of you, from your vids, I think your frustrated by a lot in your life right now. That might be lending to your 'lack of motivation.'
It's hard to pick what I'd like to see from you. I enjoy most of what you do, the good and the bad. More cat videos sounds good, personally. ;)
Share with us your life. The good. The bad. The indifferent. Let us know you better. Slice of life stuff. Do something that you want to do that's creative and share it with us. You're an actor. Find a short sketch or scene and let us see you shine. Do something fun and let us be a part of it. Be happy.
Sorry for this long response. I'm, personally, in a lonely and reflective place myself tonight.
Hey Jenny, I think if you try and talk about what is happening to you rn both outside and inside your head will help you vent and feel better and will also help other people who could go "hey look at that, I'm not the only one!". Tbh we just want you to feel better and help you with your situation... I hope I helped, cheers from Italy
Hello Jenny! Starting by saying thank you for the happy birthday wish! It sure put a big smile on that wacky face! I've missed your videos, whatever you feel like doing in them. If you are looking for some ideas...I think viewers, as well as yourself, would like a short montage of some key moments of your days when you feel like talking for 7 seconds to tell something that happened or is happening then, to say how you are feeling, to show us something unusual or just to release stress by doing a marathon of refreshing silly voices and faces. Well, I know I would. I'll let you know when I visit the country. I'll need some recommendations for a few coffee places. Hope to see your pretty smile again! Take good care of you and your loved ones, Jenny! Until next time!
Totally know this feeling. I've been struggling to start a new podcast for years and I can't even bring myself up to the microphone anymore.
I really love the bee kind as I find it very helpful (you helped me find the foundation I'm using currently btw) and maybe one about loving yourself and stuff like that. hang in there Jenny 💓💓
Funny as I watch your video because I was going to make and upload a skit the same day this was uploaded! I'm also dealing with the same kind of issues, and it has been plaguing me for several months. There are times where I just can't find the energy to even get out of bed in the morning, let alone film a video to put up. At least after watching this, and skimming I've the comments, we're not alone in this.
And for stuff we'd like to see: MOR EOF YOUR ADORABLE CAT!!!
Can you talk about social anxiety, social anxiety and surviving uni and accepting flaws in your body/appearance. xxxx
It does sound like you're suffering from some anxiety issues. Take a DASS 42 test and see what you score. It's a good idea to review why you're not happy and work on a path to doing something about it. Remember that some things are just out of your control and that you can't force them to happen. Sometimes you just have to be patient and not think too much about the future, but instead enjoy your life day by day. If you really think its affecting you and your livelihood, consult your doctor. I did :)
I feel ya Jen!
Yo Jenny! It's just an idea but if you are having issues to make a video, why not just make a short vid and compile them to make a longer video like this one. Cute cat by the way! Hang in there Jenny!!
That first part was so upsetting, please don't leave youtube :c
Don't worry, I don't think I could bring myself to fully stop making videos. It's been such a big part of my life for so long now :)
Maybe some more covers? I know they take forever to do but your Young Volcanoes is one of my favorites I still listen to it all the time!
Please keep it on with RUclips, stay strong. We Need RUclipsrs like you. RUclips has so much shit content we need People like you to make it a better place for. Mental health is very important in this times for a lot of people myself included. Thx for being so open for showing that is okay to feel. I know you can do alot about and you will because you are beautiful and brave and talented. And so will I do something
Sorry for my bad English. The best wishes from Germany
I like the videos that show the most you. Both funny and serious, my favorite videos are the videos I can see you tried in but they are still kinda simple and quirky. I just like Your videos. Anything as long as it is You. Cause I believe you are an interesting person
Hi Jenny,
This inner conflict and worry you're struggling with resonates with a similar issue I had a year ago.
I won't claim to know any idea of what, specifically, you are going through but if I could offer any advice it may help (or it may not 😅).
Have you considered identifying all the worries you have, picking one and solely focussing on that until it is at a point you are happy with, then moving onto the next? You could use your videos to monologue progress on each task, completing the task and making a video about it to show how happy you are with each little success (killing two birds with one stone).
Stay positive, keep fighting the good fight.
G
This all feels super familiar. I'm glad you're talking about it (but obvs not glad you're going through it.) Would it be ok to send you video ideas via Patreon?
Of course, go for it!
I would love just uncut footage of you rambling. honestly i just love people talking about stuff that they are passionate about.
Maybe do a video about something that makes you feel happy, idk for example your cats? Music? Acting? I'm sure you'll get out of this shitty situation, I do believe that. Lotsa love
💜
Hey:) I´m watching your videos for a few years now and i really like you and want you are doing here on your channel :) I know, how tough life is and how it kick ass, most of the time... what I wanna to say: I would love to see more of this real-talk-vids, because I think you can help many people with them :) And because I love animals: Bee kind!!! Greetz from Germany :)
Binge watching your vids right now. You just earned another subscriber and a fan. Hang in there Jenny :)
We'll all make it.
I'd love to see content about your struggles as an actor. I left my retail job in May and I'm finally starting a proper longish term job next month but it will end and a new job will be a struggle to find. It would be great for you to be real and honest about that. I think I want to make videos about that too actually
My mental health is in some sort of pit right now (woop woop we should start a club) and it's really... I don't know, comforting?, to hear other people talk about their experiences with such things because it makes me feel less alone and it helps people get educated about stuff! So yeah, that maybe? {I'd be more eloquent but I don't have the brainspace or energy- sorry}
I still cant believe The Bothering was 5 years ago
Omg Jenny I feel the exact same! I'm trying to get through my Alevels, I've to make a film and I can't bring myself to do it. I don't know why but I just struggle to do anything :((
You can do it! I believe in you! Seriously though, I'm sure you'll do great on your A Levels. You just have to remember that you're an awesome, capable, talented human being (and also that A Levels aren't actually that important after you've done them so don't worry too much about the results, haha)
thatjennybee Thank you so much, I know I have it in me to get through these next couple of months and get the grades I need! I just gotta push myself through it 😅 All I need is to get into Uni then I'll be okay hahaha ❤️
Please make a video on literally any topic you want. =) I realise this probably isn't helpful, but you're a cool person whose insight and views are interesting. I just want to hear you talk about something, no matter what it is.
oh men, ur asking me what do I want to see? I don't know what I want specifically xD I mean, as long as I see you and your smile in the video am happy with that :)
Hope u start doing better with the job thing and all that, I'm still unemployed since your last video and all that, 'cause the situation here is not good (shotty country :D ) but tomorrow I have another interview so... yay! love u jenny *hug*
Good luck with your job interview! I'm sure you'll smash it :)
thatjennybee thanks a lot! :)
I think most people would agree that they'd want to see stuff that you enjoy doing. People who've given up or lost interest or on the way to that stand out and their negative attitude towards making videos makes the audience lose interest. They end up making videos because its their job, not because they have fun doing it. I'd rather see quality content than shovel content.
That being said, maybe just take a short break from making videos or just go somewhere for a day or more and film that. Something that doesn't take much effort and you're just sharing an uncomplicated experience.
I don't know how many actor friends you have nearby but maybe have your patreon subscribers throw out 10-20 second scripts or plots that you improvise with them and make a 2-3 minute video of them. You could save them up and throw out one every day for a week. I know you said that you had ideas and lacked motivation but maybe having other people around you might help motivate you. If not, you can always sit there and eat pizza with them trying to find the worst idea your patreons suggested.
Hey, Im loving your channel at the moment - and so I thought I would give you an idea for videos. At the moment Im going through a situation where cutting ties with someone might be the best thing, but I dont want it to happen at the same time? I was wondering if you could, to make a video on that topic? Thank you x
This is a topic that I hugely relate to because I've been through it several times before, which also makes it difficult to talk about... I have thought about making a video on it before but haven't been able to find exactly what I want to say. However, I will try to gather all my thoughts and advice on the subject and make a video! Thanks for the suggestion
thatjennybee If the video is too hard to make, dont force yourself to make it! I would love a video from you on the topic but if its to difficult to make, theres no worries if you dont make it. But if you do, I cant wait to see it! x
Hey Jenny,
I would love to hear your views on Daily Vlogger if so which vloggers do you watch and why? or What channel you watch on a daily basic! :)
Jake
I know it's not something you might be able to talk about, but lesser spoken about issues like PTSD would be amazing coming from you
This would be an interesting subject to discuss but, as I have never struggled with PTSD myself, I do not feel informed enough to talk about it. However, if the opportunity ever arises for me to make a video with someone who has then maybe I could do it then :)
thatjennybee Thank you for your reply and for giving us the opportunity to have a say in your videos! You're such an inspiring person, thank you for staying strong all these years x
more fairy lights!
I can't really suggest anything as Although I watch your content I don't know what you'd want to make nor do I know what I want to see. I started watching dodies vlogs recently and I had no idea I wanted to watch them but they've been really helpful.
you say you watch a lot, maybe make a video about what you like to see on youtube yourself
I feel like we may be going through a lot of the same stuff at the moment, from a few of your recent videos...
I love making music, but at the moment I'm in a weird state of looking for my 'career' job and trying to make that something music based but still being able to set myself up as a full time musician, with either performance or composition.. And I have a RUclips channel which is one of my creative outlets. I want to keep uploading but everytime I think about making a video I'm worried I'm wasting time that could be better spent trying to get a full time job that isn't waiting tables... Trying to keep busy with all that whist balancing a casual job, a part time job, a local covers band and trying to actually spend some time with people I enjoy spending time with isn't easy I guess.
Hows veganism going btw? I remember you responded to a comment when I was on the cusp of going fully vegan... Interested to hear an update on that (video idea? ;) )
I do hope you figure things out soon! It's so tricky when you need to have a 'proper' job to pay your way but that job can't necessarily be what you want to do for the rest of your life (ie. music, acting), but that job then takes up all the time you want to be putting into your passion, but you can't not have the job because money, but that's making it so much harder to chase your dreams, etc etc... It's so difficult! I say keep going with the RUclips channel for sure though. If anything, it's a portfolio! With that you can go to a potential employer or whoever and be like, "Here are some videos/music I made - performed, produced, filmed, edited, etc by me!"
It's a good shout... Better get on with it then :D
Maybe music? Because Young Volcanoes was unbelievabley good x
just don't stop making videos, don't give up on RUclips
you are really great at it
i my suggest to make some scientific experiments,
that may cheer you up, i guess, or boring you,hhhh
have a nice life.
love u
I think maybe you should start singing again. I loved you cover versions and was waiting for new stuff. But I know your struggle very good. I just failed a very important exam and don't really know what I'm supposed to do now.
Your community got smaller over the years and thats fine. So thats all guys who like seeing you or hearing what you have to say. Maybe that's a good way to think.
Aw you used to get so many views, simply put yourself out there
I love ya face Jenny, more silly faces and ill be happy ^-^
daily vlogs?
I've been toying with the idea of doing daily video style projects on my second channel (thisjennybee) but it's such a big undertaking and to be honest, I don't feel like my life is interesting enough at the moment, haha! Maybe in the near future though!
i just thought that if you got into the habit of uploading a video anyway it could be easier to do other videos in a more editorialized setting
sketches
A video of you eating cereal please.
:'(
Get outta here mental block!
Editing can be a bitch.
