He’s like the grandparent who on the surface, you think is super rude and is horrible, but they also do really care about you and will help you through your life pretty much whenever you need

Requirements to be a youtuber: 1. Start early. 2. Be bad at school. 3. Be creative and funny or extremely skilled at something. 4. Be yourself. 5. Put effort into your videos. 6. Have patience.
man, this got me crying. i remember a few years ago, you responded to my comment because of this dumb pfp, it was only a 'hello hamilton'. but i was so excited bc not only did i love hamilton and you had recognised and acknowledged it but also because i related to u, some slight loser british kid who always wanted to do something with their life and live up to other peoples expectations and be 'the best'. This whole time i viewed you as one of the greats, an inspiration. Of course i still think that in some capacity, maybe not as much as those couple of years ago where i freaked out you responded to my comment. However, what you said about never feeling like the best, how you find yourself back with that newbie feeling as you try stand up. Youve helped me realise that everyone really is just trying to get by in life, everyone had to start somewhere and had their own role models who they looked up to. Also, goals can change over time, you can achieve them and its alright to feel stagnant for a while but eventually you will find that drive and passion again idc if people clown on this reply, idc tommy aint ever gonna see it, but i needed to get this out. thanks man, wishing u all the best.
omg another british hamilton fan, hello!! and to the rest of your comment, it's amazing how much we can learn from another's journey and experiences. good for you for gaining some nice insight into the world, with the help of one of your inspirations :DD
british hamilton and tommyinnit fans from 2020 rise tf up!!! i watched it live a few months ago, way after my actual hamilton phase and it was actually amazing
Thats life the person i looked up to was prolly ihascupquake dantdm and cavemanfilms and a few others but now i see they are adults who are just living life the way they wanted and succeeded
I rememeber when Tommy joined our discord server and spoke for about 3 weeks until he left then he messaged me on twitter asking "hey are u british?", ignored the message thinking it wasnt anything, 4 years later and look where at this amazing human being. Whos survived it all.
“Everyone is just a person trying their best, there’s no illusion, there’s no one who’s better than anyone. Everyone is insecure, everyone is struggling and that is the beauty of it” That has got to be one of the most real and down to earth things I think Tommy has ever said
It's like i just got a wake up call when he said this, he just realized and said something so real and down to earth for the first time...like...ever....
Tommy has always made me be emotional… almost always that meant to be laughing my butt off but in this case… not going to lie this made me a little teary eyed
I’ve always supported you no matter what, even when you were practically the most hated RUclipsr spamming in lobbies. I appreciate you putting me in the video, means a ton 🙏❤
John 3:15 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Man being a teenager who's looked up to this man for like- hell almost 5 years now, a teen who wants to do RUclips and watching this honestly hits like a truck. I was in the middle of working on one of my video scripts just so I can get one video out and this helped a ton more. Honestly gave me the confidence to start it all up again.
tommys editing skills are actually insane he finds a way to make us feel all the emotions he was feeling at the time and the background music the images it all compliments each other so well wow tommys skills are UNMATCHED
@TommyInnit I love your video's and even though you had a little bit of a bad past, we all love you and also your thee way your class reacted to your RUclips channel is not ok. I wish people have seen your true potential.
RIGHT It's almost impossible for me to cry (ive been dehydrated for like 7 years) but this got me emotional as hell. Goddamn. I think I accidentally wrote a comment that has like 400+ words that's how hard this hit me ToT
This video straight up brought me to tears, especially the part about feeling lost because I'm honestly just blindly pushing forward. But also because the community and experience of watching DSMP was what kept me wanting to keep living in those times. Before I'd found the general community, I didn't particularly have anything to... do. In general. But watching your and other people's content, staying up late to watch streams (particularly the DSMP streams of American creators... Ah yes, waking up at 3AM knowing I'd probably be too tired to log onto online class afterwards) was genuinely like a lifeline of sorts. I'd made friends I remember to this day, even if I don't keep contact with most. It's not like I'm an adult yet, I'm nearing 18, I just feel like I've emotionally matured through the moment where one just feels completely lost. And it's so true that while online recognition is nice, hearing the laughs and joy of people in REAL LIFE is almost overwhelmingly better. Yet to find people that appreciate my work in real life quite the same as strangers online do... But I WILL say that Cosplaycons come close sometimes. And it really is like some sort of re-vitalizing power. They always lift my mood because I realize that I'm not alone in things I enjoy, and things I find fun, and ranting about a random topic for hours on end-- you get the point. They have a very similar effect on me as these comedy shows seem to. Almost makes me wish I lived in England or America, because were I to hear that it's anywhere available to me, I'd buy a ticket INSTANTLY. All in all, I don't watch your content as much anymore, and the same can be said with many other RUclipsrs-- Only as background sound for whatever I'm doing. I feel like watching the content less made me see you guys less as famous figures and more as... you know, people. Been wondering how y'all are doing because I did briefly hear about terrible truths coming out about certain friends and whatnot. This was a nice watch, really. Not just as a story in itself, but also a reminder that all of us are human, and fame has many downsides nobody is fully ready for. Glad you found joy in the comedy shows!!! That sort of joy of knowing people, you know, don't find you unbearable (the internet really is way too full of hate) is uplifting and has been in my experience as well. I don't know how to end comments!!!! I'm sorry this keeps dragging on!!!!!!!!!!! Just happy for you that life's been looking up, it really is a big feat, I can't imagine how much my social anxiety would spike when being recognized at every step. You're strong as hell dealing with that. IM SORRY I KEEP YAPPING if ANYONE read this have a good day!!!!!!!! Ending it here because if I don't it'll only drag on further!!!!!!!! This is what happens when you're a writer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly the fact that it's true is mindblowing. Unless you're a shit of a person, being yourself will always attract more people than the fake version of you.
@@deamoninyourdreams7612 That's so fucking true though. Like my school is clique as shit and I'm just left alone but I love it SO MUCH because nobody can tell me that it's wrong. It's fucking awesome.
I am so proud of you man, been following you for years now. In these years I got 2 diploma's, loads of new friends, lost interest in watching youtube, got it again, got my first full time job last month and literally grew up with you. I am so proud that you are finding a new passion and keep on going. Thank you for these years, I look forwards to seeing what happens.
I remember one stream, he claimed he wasnt talking to himself, then he was like wait no im talking to the wall. Chat called her wallitha or something, cant find that stream tho
the ending made me cry. it’s crazy how you’ve grown up and we’ve all grown up with you and things will never ever be the same but that’s okay because we’ve all become new people with new interests and milestones we’ve hit and RAHHHH i hate moving on from things
Man, I am one year younger than you. I found you during lockdown and I had this idea in my head that you were what I was supposed to look like in a year because you just seemed exactly who I wanted to be and you just seemed perfect. I wasn't doing very well in at the end of 2021/2022, many major life events caused me to be incredibly depressed but I remember watching any stream or video by you made me happier, even if sometimes I was watching just after a breakdown. You interacted with me twice, both times when I asked questions. It felt strange to be a fan of someone you knew was roughly the same age as you, I felt more like I related to you so much more. But I also had this sense of "this is what I could be doing" and I wasn't. Strangely, knowing you weren't this perfect person I saw you as now honestly makes me feel a lot better in who I am and that we're all struggling, we're there to lift each other up. I may not watch you or anyone else as much, and my interests have certainly changed over the past few years (even though I thought I would be part of this side of the internet forever) but I can say with certainty you are one of my biggest inspirations and I hope you know how much having someone like you made life a bit more easier when I needed it most. So for that I just wanted to say thank you, even if you never see this. All the best with whatever you do next x
@@mattygee6852 RUclips will sometimes remove comments that have curse words in them, it's just more safe if you don't want whatever you said to be reported
This actually made me tear up a bit, tommy has been a big inspiration for me and this story really shows the ups and downs throughout one’s story. It really makes me think of the quote “Don’t be sad because it’s over, be happy because it happened”. Nostalgia is genuinely phenomenal and i can’t wait to see where tommy and everyone else in this comment section goes in the future!
Tommy I started watching close to the start of lockdown here in the US back when I was 12 or 13. You then slowly drifted away from my recommended towards the end of it. And I haven’t seen any of your videos or streams. But these last few days, your videos have slowly but surely, came back into my life. So now I’m a 16 year old kid reliving his days when I would get done with my online schooling, and watch your videos or try and catch you on stream. But it is very good to see you doing so well Tommy. I wish you luck in life my friend.
The new style of videos feels like hanging out with the creators instead of vast concepts and role play. It feels more real than it ever has before and I think I like it more. We appreciate your dedication, Tommy
the friendship between you and fred is like no other. growing up alongside creators like you, particularly during the pandemic is something not everyone gets to experience. thanks for being brill tom
I watched you during COVID but grew out of your content. This video just made me happy because I remember when I was actively watching your stuff, I was so happy that someone my age was thriving in the way that you were. The end of your video really resonated with me, talking about how you found your drive again. I’ve been living the last year or so on autopilot and feel nothing like myself after leaving home on the morning of my 18th birthday and reporting my parents to CPS. Hearing you be able to find your drive, and have a new path makes me want to try to live with meaning again. Very good vid and I hope this new journey works well for you!
the use of Djo’s songs in the background made me so happy. i started listening to his music when my life started turning around. and im happy to see you’re doing great aswell!
This video was insane. As a kid stuck in 2020 covid, you were my biggest inspiration. My school life sucked, and it was even worse with no social connections online, but your videos always made me live the moment and laugh relentlessly to the point I’d have to pause the video. I’ve always seen you as someone who just knows what to do, you just seemed so put together. But knowing how hard things behind the scenes were for you now, it’s sad to know millions of people go through daily depression or just physical issues. But knowing to keep going for your passion so important. You really show how to emphasize that you need to keep going, keep moving onto your biggest dream. And if you don’t find one? Keep searching. I don’t think I would’ve ever been as brave as I am now with out having seen your confidence, even if it may have been fake or faltered. It helped so much to see someone be so bold, yet nothing was wrong with it. Anyone can be so brave and courageous and try new things. Sorry if this is long but I remembered just so many things ever since Covid and the Dsmp era. I really hope you can achieve whatever dream you’re shooting for now.
Honestly this video is so interesting to see. Tommy and I are the same age, I could never say I can relate to the internet fame, but I can definitely relate to the emotional roller coaster. Growing up with Tommy, having completely different lives, it was so interesting to see and compare. Even having a similar childhood, playing endless hypixel. At some point around 2022 I feel like we could all see his motivation dwindle, less inspiration, less heart than it used to have. But seeing Tommy now, finding something again to put his efforts into, to really love and cherish a new hobby and potential career. It makes me so happy. To see him going out and having such passion for making people laugh, he truly is such a kind soul. Being so isolated in Covid and then scared to leave the comfort of your home due to the fear of others is something I can relate to all too well. So to see him taking more and more steps towards social confidence, all I can say is I’m really happy for him. We may be the same age but I am so proud of him as a person. To you Tommy, keep going with your dream, hold on to it and pursue your passions. We are all here to support you👍
tom, when djo started playing at the end, mannn that was so great. you’ve come so far, and no matter how many times you doubt yourself, just know we’ll be here for you every step of the way.
This is such an underrated video- I love the editing style, it’s so melancholy and bitter sweet, I’m gonna be 20 in august, and even at our age we still have so much more to do, and still so much more to heal, you’re a real one Tom
I always rewatch the Tribute to Dream SMP a 10000 times. It's so wholesome but also sad because something like that will never happen where a kid is invited to a server just to have a war over music disks. Ohhh man
Honestly, never cried at Tommyinnit video before. All that's in my head right now is "Be yourself" because being yourself is what makes me truly happy and probably other people too. I began to rethink starting youtube career, being with my friends and letting go of fear of how i would look or sound infront of 1000 people. Thanks, really made my day.
23:20 honestly such an inspiring moment. he’s got it all right. we’re all just people trying to make it through life. really proud of you tommy, keep it up man
I am almost 23 years old, I've been a fan of Yours since about november 2020 - I was in a pretty sad place back then, and your videos and streams really brightened thath time up. And then, came 2021 and mod videos, which I absolutely loved... Well man, I just want to say that your videos were a really big part of my life in 2020 - 2022 and I just want to thank you for this. It was incredible to watch you grow, both as a youtuber and as a person in general, because in that time - I was changing a lot too, so yeah. It's been hell of a ride, these last couple of years. And you have been a very important part of that journey in my life. Thank you for everything Tommy. Now onwards, the future awaits!
Currently, I'm sitting in school, eating lunch alone, really depressed, but this...this helped me. No matter how hard it is, I really want to be a RUclipsr, despite not being at my best right now. And seeing the real perspective from my favourite RUclipsr, it's more than I could ever ask for. Thank you, Tommy.
I don't comment often because I think "whats the point no one's gonna read this" but on the off chance this gets seen, this was one hell of an inspiring video Tommy. I've been battling insecurity for a long long time and having the same listlessness. Its not as comparable considering you're famous, but I never had the courage you did to just grind and be myself. This kind of a message, this kind of a video seriously makes me appreciate you for who you are, beyond the memes, beyond the popularity, beyond the child of the internet, beyond the DSMP, all of it. Really digging this new down to earth content, I connect and resonate with it so much more. Its genuinely inspiring, as I think about what I want to do, and the first thought that comes to mind is 'monetize it, perhaps you'll make money, make it your career, make it your life' when thats just not the case. I shouldn't be doing these things for monetization, I should be doing them for me. I just yapped alot, but doesn't matter, I got it off my chest. Have a good one man, appreciate it A SHOCK THIS BLEW UP I WAS SUPER EXPECTING THIS TO FADE INTO OBSECURITY WOW, THANKS
I think your thoughts have reached out of your normal bounds, perhaps it's in this specific environment or your words just had the right touch to them, but Tom's words seem to ring true. Being yourself really does get you popular...
To be Honest, i don't even remember when i started watching you. I just know the first video i ever watched from the whole dsmp youtubers, was yours. You were sitting in your room, in a Discord call with Quackity and other People and made Sandwiches/Taco's how others recomended it. And the amount of Salt you have put on yours. It was so funny. Since then i was Watching your videos. It was so good. I am very similar to you. At that time i felt bad for being myself, because people said i was weird and i hid away behind masks. But you were just out there being yourself and it gave me so much energy just doing things i really like. I am the same age as you, well some months older but still. I always had the dream to start youtube and Twitch. You really lived my dream all along. You Are a very strong Person Tommy. You helped me through the Coronavirus time. You made me believe in myself, doing what i want, being myself while doing it. And Just seeing how far you got, gives me the energy doing it the same. I started Twitch in February or March. And now having a Png Tuber and everything. My energy left me for the summer, to keep streaming but it will come back sooner or later. And in general: Thank you Tommy, for everything. For being someone in my age, doing so wonderful and cool things. Making someone feel, that it is possible. Not like the older RUclipsrs where you think you need to be in their age to fulfill your Dreams. You are inspiring man. Be proud of yourself, you really are awesome!
Tom, you've been a big inspiration to me during my teenage years, and you'll continue to be that. Because, those 4 or 5 years ago you showed me that with motivation and a bit of confidence, even as a youngster, you can make shit happen. Now these years later I still look up to you in the same way. You have matured and evolved with your content, but I have grown with the same rate. I started watching you at 13 and I'll be turning 18 in a couple months. And it's kinda weird to think that your stuff never got old for me, but it's a really cool feeling too. I've found my comfort channel, and I'm here to stay. I'm so sorry for all the shit the Internet has done to you, not many people had the same experience as you; I mean coming out of lockdown not realizing you changed your whole fucking life in your room.. but it makes me happy to see you kicking ass in life right now. Cheers Tom, you're the best.
Back in 2019 I was diagnosed with a heart disease, and I ended up having a transplant. Shortly after I found your channel and I loved it. You were hilarious to 10 year old me. Now 5 years later I'm turning 16 next month and watching this made me cry. Tommy You have something special. I hope you can pass your joy on to others your entire life. 💙
Tommy, Though you're a year younger than me, we are growing up at the same time. Though our lives are different, the sentiments you get across about feeling lost in a changing situation around you hold true to me. I feel like in this changing world, in my changing body, and my changing mind, I am losing myself, and growing into something different. I notice it in my friends and family around me, in the new expenses I have to worry about, and in how I feel after I get home from a long day of work. It feels like no one else notices, yet they're all going through it. You are so right that everyone is just struggling, trying their best in their lives, and to hear it from someone else is reassuring. Anyway, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has had to re-learn how to be myself in the past little while. It's a long process but I am hopeful that the person I'll be when I come out the other side of this will be someone I'm happy to be... ..and for that to happen, being myself is the only way forward! Here's to the views
It's really sad that children will always hate on every creative outlet anyone has. To me, releasing a video with this much self-confidence is extermely impressive overall, more so at that age. Feels like humanity is just trash by default, only having to learn the concept of understanding that they are not, in fact, the ultimate form.
Tommy, just like Dan, do what you want, like Dan, he has gone more away from RUclips to spend more time with his family, you do you, if you wanna quit, do it, if you wanna take a year off, do it, if you wanna do ANYTHING Just fucking do it mate
i used to be obsessed with you in 2020 and this video popped up today, it really motivated me and and life’s been rough lately so thank you tommy for this, and everything you’ve done on youtube to help others😊
"End of Beginning" by DJO playing in the background was kind of symbolic. It's nice to hear your story Tommy, it's an inspiration to anyone, whether or not they want to become a youtuber. You're doing an awesome job!
The djo song at the end wasn’t “end of beginning”, it was “chateau (feel alright)” :) Edit: if you look in the description, it should show songs by DJO that have played in the video, but end of beginning wasn’t played (as far as I know)
End of Beginning played right before Chateau. It made me laugh because I've been listening to DJO since Joe's music wasn't nearly as well known and it throws me off everytime I hear it as background music! I wasn't expecting it in a Tommyinnit video!@@mohammedalbazooni3808
That felt like a full circle moment, I watched you when I was growing up too cuz I’m around your age and now that I’m an adult and you are it makes me feel grateful that I watched you grow up with me as well as the millions of other kids our age or younger. Thank you for being yourself, it’s been a wonderful ride and there’s only more amazing memories to come 😌
The day when Technoblade died and Tommy held his first live show, one star died but another one was reborn and started to shine brighter than ever to fill that darkness that was left after the tragedy
For some weird reason this is really relatable for me. I'm not a youtuber, I'm a guy who wanted to study Astronomy. I worked my ass off, I fought off demons to get to the place I was right now, and I was struggling, but I was doing well, I have a lot of great friends around me, I was getting good grades (mostly), but I felt stuck. A lot of things also crossed my paths that worsened the whole experience, and I was struggling in some specific things due to my ADHD and not being able to actually learn from mostly theoretical subjects, and I just didn't know what to do. But I was studying astronomy. I'm the first person in my family to possibly get a bachelors degree in anything. And it's astronomy! How cool is that? My dream was to become someone that is involved in the creation of telescopes, or the one who finds cool stuff in astronomy, and can keep asking himself the most abstract questions. But since I've noticed I'm not made for theoretical work, and really want to get crafty, I notice I couldn't go on. And that's where it differs from your story, because I couldn't find the determination and focus to continue my study. But I did find a new chance. And I'm as determined as ever to get my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics now, and become an engineer who makes parts for telescopes. Something I realized really is my dream. Being able to be crafty AND involved with astronomy. And seeing you reaching your goals, but feeling lost at the same time, and finding a new passion to continue in the same area, but in a different way, resonated with me. It touched me and I shed a tear. I hope you become the best fucking comedian there is.
I bet you didn't just stabbed your friends on the back, accused them of illegal activity based on nothing and then regretted nothing when you turned out to be wrong tho. I had a similar road as you, but i was in an abusive foster family instead. The difference is that we still have a spine, while Tommy... is a different story.
coming back to watch this, because every time I do it gives me a new drive to not give up. its crazy, I've basically grown up watching your videos, and you've been the absolute biggest inspiration in my life. watching you grow into the amazing person you are is crazy too. thank you for everything Tommy.
You've definitely been a huge inspiration for me over the years man. I'm so glad you're able to enjoy what you're doing, and I wish you the best going foward!
Right now, nothing feels more relatable to me than that moment he was talking about when you’ve hit that milestone you’ve been working towards for so long and reach that dead end of not knowing what to do next - especially in conjunction with having gone through a series of really shitty misfortunes/experiences and losing enjoyment/motivation in the things around you. That definitely hit home, though obviously the circumstances are extremely different. It’s something I’ve been struggling with (though I’m obviously not going into personal detail). It kind of helps to hear someone experiencing the same thing and just that reminder to take a step back and reevaluate - especially the reminder that it’s okay to take a step back and reevaluate - feels like what I needed to hear. I think it would be fair to say that this video has really helped me feel more validated and more self-aware of how much I’ve matured over these past years than I did previously. Just solely for no other reasons than that this video just feels really grounding while up until this point a lot of stuff has just felt absurdly surreal and that something about seeing evidence of Tommy’s maturity feels nostalgic in a way. It feels like seeing evidence of officially turning over a new chapter even though it’s probably already been going on unofficially for a while. Just that kind of acknowledgment that something has progressed makes the idea of taking the new steps easier so I’m grateful I watched this video.
I started watching you when I was fourteen, I’m eighteen now and headed into adulthood. Through my teenage years I struggled with feeling out of the loop or a bit weird when hanging around my friends, constantly worrying if I was being fun enough or if I was being too much. I remember when I first found your dsmp videos and thinking how amazing it was that someone could be so authentically themself and such a confident, hard worker, (even if it was faked at times) that is the reason I began looking up to you. And now I'm an adult with more confidence than I had before, but now no direction to go in. I understand the weird floating stage of having great things but not feeling fulfilled or having no where to pour your heart into. I'm still trying to find it, but I know with time I will find the things that bring me joy and a sense of fulfillment. Thank you for being so open about what you've been through, it helps me realize I'm not alone, I'm just one of the billions of people trying to do the whole life thing everyday.
I've started watching you when I was barely 15, I'm nearly 18 now. I knew very little English since it's not my first language, and you helped me a lot. Your videos helped guide me through tough times and also helped me learn the language. Not only the subtitles, but the joy you had in every video helped me with everything in life. And as always, don't cry because it ended, but smile because it happened. Thank you, Tom. Thanks for everything.
the part about switching between faking happiness to yourself and depressing reality hits so close to home i have more friends than ever, but ive never felt more alone i have a growing esports career, but i just feel like im inadequate all the time i have everything ive asked for in life, but i lost myself in the process truth is, you should always prioritize your own health and happiness, not what the grind asks of you
im now 23. i feel like my life was crappy,i was thinking quiting youtube. your videos give me the motivation to me again for not giving up to my dream and be myself. i got 50k subs this year and i hope my journey still goes on.
My parents dont understand why i watch you so much, and why i love watching your videos, but its because in 2020, when you joined the DSMP i started watching ur videos. i was in a really shit place and u cheered me up, whenever i was sad i just watched ur videos. i was 10, didn't get to do my SAT's, was being bullied at school and online and my dad and my sister both were just.. shit. they treated me like a servant, i was doing *everything* for them. i was thinking of giving up, but then i watched a video you uploaded, i got the notification that you uploaded and i watched it, didn't think about anything other than "this dude is so fucking cool" and when you did the show in Bournemouth 2023, i was so excited. i had to leave right before the ending though cuz anxiety attack, but i got a shirt! i was so happy, i was wearing a yellow bucket hat but i assume you probably didnt see me as i was near the back. i had on my tommyinnit hoodie and i was so happy, probably the happiest i'd ever been. i wish i could've gotten a pic with you at least but id didnt get that chance, would've been epic though. anyways enough of my rambling, YOU'RE AWESOME! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK :)
God this was just amazing editing. the music?!? holy shit man, this channel being part of the past 3 years of my life or so and then hearing all the backstories is so interesting man
i think one of the biggest joys of the TommyInnit community is how we all grew up with him, so seeing him as a happy, thriving adult now finding his new path in life makes us all- i mean i assume you all too- just so reflective. its a real priveledge
Proud of you dude! Super cool to hear your story and the lessons you've learned. Glad you're in a good spot! Such a cool thing to be able to say at 20 years old. Keep it up! Hyped to see what you do next
This is going to be long and convoluted and whatever but this video is just really good. Like really really good. You do such a wonderful job at conveying tone and feeling in every part of this video, the music, the editing (SpokyAsh fucking knocked this out of the park) and the script work so wonderfully together. The joy and excitement in the beginning is so vivid and sincere, I feel like you really succeed at making your journey feel very tangible and I really appreciate your honesty and self-awareness. I just had a massive smile on my face the whole time watching that. The second section was genuinely really heartbreaking and your script there is so so good, I think what you went through is something viewers are vaguely aware of but obviously it’s really difficult to quantify sitting behind a screen but fuck you made me feel actual dread. The last section is really heartwarming and I’m glad you’ve found your stride, weird to say as a stranger but I’m incredibly proud of where you’re at today and the maturity and self-awareness you possess is really commendable. This whole video is such a well crafted narrative in somehow such a short amount of time, I feel like you hit every important emotional beat and ended it in a very cathartic and emotionally provoking way. This was just so stellar, I can’t remember a time when a youtube video has made me feel this strongly. Really really really well done.
as a graduating senior in five days, these problems have been on my mind; change, interest, who i am, but i was never worried about them until recently. The unknown is what scares me, college is this place where people find what they’re passionate for, and i can’t help but worry what i won’t find anything. I relate to tommy though, being put in a spot where you don’t know what’ll catch you is terrifying. However tommy shows me that relying on yourself is vital, and building a community as you go on. thank you tommy for being yourself, i will always try my best to be myself everyday.
I can’t believe I actually cried at a goddamn Tommyinnit video😭🙏 this was absolutely great man. I remember during covid, I didn’t know what the hell I was gonna do yk? Like most people probably. School was still there, but it just wasn’t the same. I like my comfort zone, being by myself and BEING myself with no one to judge me - and covid, despite being an awfull experience for the entire World, was an oportunity for me to just detox from the public, find new interests and take up old hobbies I didn’t have the time to enjoy anymore. However, it get's to a point, when you run out of this loneliness-induced productivity, and really start missing the normality that was around you your entire life, that you took for granted. We all knew deep down quarantine was going to take a long time. That Old Normal we were SO used to was far away on the horizon. My self-esteem was getting lower and lower, and so was my interest in most things. Sometimes after online class, I'd sit in bed and wonder what the hell I should do if I can’t do anything I would usually do because I'm not allowed too. I decided to browse RUclips, maybe something would catch my eye and surely enough, I'm recommended one of Tommyinnit's Bedwars videos. I decide to Watch it because I really didn't have anything better to do. I'm very glad that I made that decision. You've kept me entertained my entire covid experience. I've probably never laughed quite as hard as I did up untill I've watched your videos. And I still do. Watching you grow up made me realize, that I really did grow up too. I'm absolutely sure that I'll always look back at your chanel with great memories. On a side note from my wallowing, I'm really happy you've found something completely new that you're Truely enjoying. Your Stand Up's are amazing, keep it up!!!
Man im so happy for beeing able to watch you grow up and to be part of this comunity, i feel like i did the right choice with my favorite youtuber. Besides you not uploading so many videos anymore im just so excited to see what you´ll do in the comedy niche. But I´ll stil always remember the exitment of receaving a notification that tommyinnit were live in 2021, the yt notification of your vlog channel, it´ll always be a part of me. Thank you Tommy, for everything. See you on the stage. There are always more room to conquer, never give op on you!
STOP I CRIED WATCHING THIS 😭 but on a serious note, I found your channel when I was in really bad place mentally and your content helped me a lot so thank you
Tommy, that was absolutely incredible. You have no idea just how much I needed to hear that. I often feel like I can never reach my full potential with RUclips & other life goals, and I always feel behind. I’m turning 19 soon, and I always had the dream of being a largely successful kid/young content creator. But it just hasn’t panned out that way for me. I went through a lot of shit, and felt like I was the only one going through that, thinking all that, worrying about all of that, and feeling lost. I constantly feel like I’ve missed my time to shine when it comes to RUclips, or like time is running out and I don’t have it together enough to seize the opportunity. Like I’m constantly watching everyone’s success and getting left behind, while also feeling unclear of what I want to achieve and how to do it. But hearing your story… that was so so impactful. Genuinely, it nearly brought me to tears (but of course I don’t cry, I’m a manly masculine man 💪😤 *sniff*). Seeing all the struggles, doubts, worries and all you went through when, to all of us, it seemed like everything was perfect for you, was really… a very human moment, you know? Like you said, everyone is insecure, struggling and has worries of their own, and I keep forgetting that. In all honesty I don’t know how to explain what it made me feel, but the best way I can describe it is… secure, reassured, and not alone. You genuinely have no idea how much seeing your journey, with all of its ups and downs, has given me newfound hope and a fresh perspective. It helps to remember that being a big name on RUclips is not all sunshine and rainbows, and that we’re all just people at the end of the day. I’m so glad to see where you’ve come, and that you have newfound passion. I realize that that’s one of the key things in life, discovering new things that excite you and challenge you. Things to work towards. Life is all about new experiences. And the fact that through persuading comedy, it’s making you enjoy RUclips again, is just incredible! You’re a true inspiration, Tommy! Thank you so much for everything, truly.
Hello Tom, I just wanted to say that that I don't normally watch your videos but drops like these from time to time is why I stick around your channel and check it from time to time. I hope you all the best in life and your deserve all the recognition you got at this point in life
I remember watching you from around 20k and remembering talking to friends and saying "this guys gonna be big." You were and always will be a couple years older than me and I always looked up to you, so i'm really grateful you'd be so open in a video. You've got a great personality and i'd definitely enjoy watching some more personal videos with you as the focus, even some commentary style RUclips video. I doubt you'll ever see this but in the slight chance you do, take it easy Tommy, you're the best
Tommy, you’ve taught me a lot. I’ve been here ever since L’Manberg first blew up, and it’s been some of the best years of my life. I’m 18, just graduated high school. And I don’t know what to do, I don’t know if I’ll ever feel like an adult. But you remind me that I can do it, you are a living reminder of everything good in my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for these past years. I’ll never forget all of you, all the memories we’ve made together, and I’ll never forget you, Tommy. Thanks for everything. :)
Hi, I'm 19, so basically the same age as you. I don't think you have to feel like an adult, on the contrary, I think most people our age don't feel grown, because we aren't fully. I don't think I'll feel like an adult by 30. I'm always going to watch kids shows and have some childish interests and qualities. I don't think I'll have everything completely together. But, that's the good bit. There's always something to work towards, even when there's nothing to look forward to. Whether that's a job, school, improving mental health or beating a high score on a video game. I'm in uni now, moving to 2nd year, I'm moving from dorms to a house with friends, my mental health has chilled out. My year has, on paper, not been the best of my life, my family life is hell currently. But I think I'm working towards something great, and it's a fantastic reason to stick around. Sometimes people get there slower than others, everybody says, 'Do your best every day'. But I've realised that it doesn't mean you have to overexert yourself in everything. It really mean, 'Do your best, for that day. Don't work as hard as you can all the time. Just give what you feel like you can give, and that's enough'.
It's interesting because for a long time during dsmp I felt so dependent on it to keep me alive through my depression and by the time it ended I didn't care about it anymore because I figured out how to make myself feel better without it. I like these down to earth videos because it kind of feels like everyone just woke up from the crazy dream that was the pandemic (even though that was a few years ago now) and I like to see that everyone is doing well these days.

man, this got me crying. i remember a few years ago, you responded to my comment because of this dumb pfp, it was only a 'hello hamilton'. but i was so excited bc not only did i love hamilton and you had recognised and acknowledged it but also because i related to u, some slight loser british kid who always wanted to do something with their life and live up to other peoples expectations and be 'the best'.
This whole time i viewed you as one of the greats, an inspiration. Of course i still think that in some capacity, maybe not as much as those couple of years ago where i freaked out you responded to my comment. However, what you said about never feeling like the best, how you find yourself back with that newbie feeling as you try stand up. Youve helped me realise that everyone really is just trying to get by in life, everyone had to start somewhere and had their own role models who they looked up to. Also, goals can change over time, you can achieve them and its alright to feel stagnant for a while but eventually you will find that drive and passion again
idc if people clown on this reply, idc tommy aint ever gonna see it, but i needed to get this out. thanks man, wishing u all the best.
omg another british hamilton fan, hello!!
and to the rest of your comment, it's amazing how much we can learn from another's journey and experiences. good for you for gaining some nice insight into the world, with the help of one of your inspirations :DD

I rememeber when Tommy joined our discord server and spoke for about 3 weeks until he left then he messaged me on twitter asking "hey are u british?", ignored the message thinking it wasnt anything, 4 years later and look where at this amazing human being. Whos survived it all.

Man being a teenager who's looked up to this man for like- hell almost 5 years now, a teen who wants to do RUclips and watching this honestly hits like a truck. I was in the middle of working on one of my video scripts just so I can get one video out and this helped a ton more. Honestly gave me the confidence to start it all up again.

Genuinely made me cry. I think these 5 years have been a wild one for all of us. Thanks for sticking with us.
did anyone else go from wanting to cry for him to smiling and almost crying of happiness for him? I'm so glad it turned around for Tommy.
Bro I get emotional way too easily but I agree that I think a lot of us are actually kind of proud in a way
@TommyInnit I love your video's and even though you had a little bit of a bad past, we all love you and also your thee way your class reacted to your RUclips channel is not ok. I wish people have seen your true potential.
RIGHT It's almost impossible for me to cry (ive been dehydrated for like 7 years) but this got me emotional as hell. Goddamn. I think I accidentally wrote a comment that has like 400+ words that's how hard this hit me ToT
update: just put it into a word counter i accidentally wrote 510 words
Yea
This video straight up brought me to tears, especially the part about feeling lost because I'm honestly just blindly pushing forward. But also because the community and experience of watching DSMP was what kept me wanting to keep living in those times. Before I'd found the general community, I didn't particularly have anything to... do. In general. But watching your and other people's content, staying up late to watch streams (particularly the DSMP streams of American creators... Ah yes, waking up at 3AM knowing I'd probably be too tired to log onto online class afterwards) was genuinely like a lifeline of sorts. I'd made friends I remember to this day, even if I don't keep contact with most.
It's not like I'm an adult yet, I'm nearing 18, I just feel like I've emotionally matured through the moment where one just feels completely lost. And it's so true that while online recognition is nice, hearing the laughs and joy of people in REAL LIFE is almost overwhelmingly better. Yet to find people that appreciate my work in real life quite the same as strangers online do... But I WILL say that Cosplaycons come close sometimes. And it really is like some sort of re-vitalizing power. They always lift my mood because I realize that I'm not alone in things I enjoy, and things I find fun, and ranting about a random topic for hours on end-- you get the point.
They have a very similar effect on me as these comedy shows seem to. Almost makes me wish I lived in England or America, because were I to hear that it's anywhere available to me, I'd buy a ticket INSTANTLY.
All in all, I don't watch your content as much anymore, and the same can be said with many other RUclipsrs-- Only as background sound for whatever I'm doing. I feel like watching the content less made me see you guys less as famous figures and more as... you know, people. Been wondering how y'all are doing because I did briefly hear about terrible truths coming out about certain friends and whatnot.
This was a nice watch, really. Not just as a story in itself, but also a reminder that all of us are human, and fame has many downsides nobody is fully ready for. Glad you found joy in the comedy shows!!! That sort of joy of knowing people, you know, don't find you unbearable (the internet really is way too full of hate) is uplifting and has been in my experience as well.
I don't know how to end comments!!!! I'm sorry this keeps dragging on!!!!!!!!!!! Just happy for you that life's been looking up, it really is a big feat, I can't imagine how much my social anxiety would spike when being recognized at every step. You're strong as hell dealing with that.

Man, I am one year younger than you. I found you during lockdown and I had this idea in my head that you were what I was supposed to look like in a year because you just seemed exactly who I wanted to be and you just seemed perfect. I wasn't doing very well in at the end of 2021/2022, many major life events caused me to be incredibly depressed but I remember watching any stream or video by you made me happier, even if sometimes I was watching just after a breakdown. You interacted with me twice, both times when I asked questions.
It felt strange to be a fan of someone you knew was roughly the same age as you, I felt more like I related to you so much more. But I also had this sense of "this is what I could be doing" and I wasn't. Strangely, knowing you weren't this perfect person I saw you as now honestly makes me feel a lot better in who I am and that we're all struggling, we're there to lift each other up.
I may not watch you or anyone else as much, and my interests have certainly changed over the past few years (even though I thought I would be part of this side of the internet forever) but I can say with certainty you are one of my biggest inspirations and I hope you know how much having someone like you made life a bit more easier when I needed it most.
So for that I just wanted to say thank you, even if you never see this. All the best with whatever you do next x

Tommy I started watching close to the start of lockdown here in the US back when I was 12 or 13. You then slowly drifted away from my recommended towards the end of it. And I haven’t seen any of your videos or streams. But these last few days, your videos have slowly but surely, came back into my life. So now I’m a 16 year old kid reliving his days when I would get done with my online schooling, and watch your videos or try and catch you on stream.

I watched you during COVID but grew out of your content. This video just made me happy because I remember when I was actively watching your stuff, I was so happy that someone my age was thriving in the way that you were. The end of your video really resonated with me, talking about how you found your drive again. I’ve been living the last year or so on autopilot and feel nothing like myself after leaving home on the morning of my 18th birthday and reporting my parents to CPS. Hearing you be able to find your drive, and have a new path makes me want to try to live with meaning again. Very good vid and I hope this new journey works well for you!

This video was insane. As a kid stuck in 2020 covid, you were my biggest inspiration. My school life sucked, and it was even worse with no social connections online, but your videos always made me live the moment and laugh relentlessly to the point I’d have to pause the video. I’ve always seen you as someone who just knows what to do, you just seemed so put together. But knowing how hard things behind the scenes were for you now, it’s sad to know millions of people go through daily depression or just physical issues. But knowing to keep going for your passion so important. You really show how to emphasize that you need to keep going, keep moving onto your biggest dream. And if you don’t find one? Keep searching. I don’t think I would’ve ever been as brave as I am now with out having seen your confidence, even if it may have been fake or faltered. It helped so much to see someone be so bold, yet nothing was wrong with it. Anyone can be so brave and courageous and try new things. Sorry if this is long but I remembered just so many things ever since Covid and the Dsmp era. I really hope you can achieve whatever dream you’re shooting for now.

Facts
Honestly this video is so interesting to see. Tommy and I are the same age, I could never say I can relate to the internet fame, but I can definitely relate to the emotional roller coaster. Growing up with Tommy, having completely different lives, it was so interesting to see and compare. Even having a similar childhood, playing endless hypixel. At some point around 2022 I feel like we could all see his motivation dwindle, less inspiration, less heart than it used to have. But seeing Tommy now, finding something again to put his efforts into, to really love and cherish a new hobby and potential career. It makes me so happy. To see him going out and having such passion for making people laugh, he truly is such a kind soul. Being so isolated in Covid and then scared to leave the comfort of your home due to the fear of others is something I can relate to all too well. So to see him taking more and more steps towards social confidence, all I can say is I’m really happy for him. We may be the same age but I am so proud of him as a person. To you Tommy, keep going with your dream, hold on to it and pursue your passions. We are all here to support you👍

I don't comment often because I think "whats the point no one's gonna read this" but on the off chance this gets seen, this was one hell of an inspiring video Tommy. I've been battling insecurity for a long long time and having the same listlessness. Its not as comparable considering you're famous, but I never had the courage you did to just grind and be myself. This kind of a message, this kind of a video seriously makes me appreciate you for who you are, beyond the memes, beyond the popularity, beyond the child of the internet, beyond the DSMP, all of it. Really digging this new down to earth content, I connect and resonate with it so much more. Its genuinely inspiring, as I think about what I want to do, and the first thought that comes to mind is 'monetize it, perhaps you'll make money, make it your career, make it your life' when thats just not the case. I shouldn't be doing these things for monetization, I should be doing them for me. I just yapped alot, but doesn't matter, I got it off my chest. Have a good one man, appreciate it

I think your thoughts have reached out of your normal bounds, perhaps it's in this specific environment or your words just had the right touch to them, but Tom's words seem to ring true.
Being yourself really does get you popular...
perfect written comment.
Great way to put it, nice comment, 250 people liked it so far. :)
To be Honest, i don't even remember when i started watching you. I just know the first video i ever watched from the whole dsmp youtubers, was yours. You were sitting in your room, in a Discord call with Quackity and other People and made Sandwiches/Taco's how others recomended it. And the amount of Salt you have put on yours. It was so funny. Since then i was Watching your videos. It was so good. I am very similar to you. At that time i felt bad for being myself, because people said i was weird and i hid away behind masks. But you were just out there being yourself and it gave me so much energy just doing things i really like. I am the same age as you, well some months older but still. I always had the dream to start youtube and Twitch. You really lived my dream all along. You Are a very strong Person Tommy. You helped me through the Coronavirus time. You made me believe in myself, doing what i want, being myself while doing it. And Just seeing how far you got, gives me the energy doing it the same. I started Twitch in February or March. And now having a Png Tuber and everything. My energy left me for the summer, to keep streaming but it will come back sooner or later.
And in general: Thank you Tommy, for everything. For being someone in my age, doing so wonderful and cool things. Making someone feel, that it is possible. Not like the older RUclipsrs where you think you need to be in their age to fulfill your Dreams. You are inspiring man. Be proud of yourself, you really are awesome!
Tom, you've been a big inspiration to me during my teenage years, and you'll continue to be that. Because, those 4 or 5 years ago you showed me that with motivation and a bit of confidence, even as a youngster, you can make shit happen. Now these years later I still look up to you in the same way. You have matured and evolved with your content, but I have grown with the same rate. I started watching you at 13 and I'll be turning 18 in a couple months. And it's kinda weird to think that your stuff never got old for me, but it's a really cool feeling too. I've found my comfort channel, and I'm here to stay.
I'm so sorry for all the shit the Internet has done to you, not many people had the same experience as you; I mean coming out of lockdown not realizing you changed your whole fucking life in your room.. but it makes me happy to see you kicking ass in life right now. Cheers Tom, you're the best.
Back in 2019 I was diagnosed with a heart disease, and I ended up having a transplant. Shortly after I found your channel and I loved it. You were hilarious to 10 year old me. Now 5 years later I'm turning 16 next month and watching this made me cry. Tommy You have something special. I hope you can pass your joy on to others your entire life. 💙
Happy birthday
Glad you’re alright ❤
Tommy,
Though you're a year younger than me, we are growing up at the same time.
Though our lives are different, the sentiments you get across about feeling lost in a changing situation around you hold true to me. I feel like in this changing world, in my changing body, and my changing mind, I am losing myself, and growing into something different.
I notice it in my friends and family around me, in the new expenses I have to worry about, and in how I feel after I get home from a long day of work. It feels like no one else notices, yet they're all going through it.
You are so right that everyone is just struggling, trying their best in their lives, and to hear it from someone else is reassuring.
Anyway, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has had to re-learn how to be myself in the past little while. It's a long process but I am hopeful that the person I'll be when I come out the other side of this will be someone I'm happy to be...
..and for that to happen, being myself is the only way forward!
Here's to the views
this might just be the best thing i have ever watched
It's really sad that children will always hate on every creative outlet anyone has.
To me, releasing a video with this much self-confidence is extermely impressive overall, more so at that age.
Feels like humanity is just trash by default, only having to learn the concept of understanding that they are not, in fact, the ultimate form.
Woah, that's honestly based

i used to be obsessed with you in 2020 and this video popped up today, it really motivated me and and life’s been rough lately so thank you tommy for this, and everything you’ve done on youtube to help others😊

"End of Beginning" by DJO playing in the background was kind of symbolic. It's nice to hear your story Tommy, it's an inspiration to anyone, whether or not they want to become a youtuber. You're doing an awesome job!
what part was it? :0
The djo song at the end wasn’t “end of beginning”, it was “chateau (feel alright)” :)
Edit: if you look in the description, it should show songs by DJO that have played in the video, but end of beginning wasn’t played (as far as I know)
@@mohammedalbazooni3808 thank you!!:D
End of Beginning played right before Chateau. It made me laugh because I've been listening to DJO since Joe's music wasn't nearly as well known and it throws me off everytime I hear it as background music! I wasn't expecting it in a Tommyinnit video!@@mohammedalbazooni3808
@@mohammedalbazooni3808uhh yes it did?? 21:59 it’s literally so recognizable
That felt like a full circle moment, I watched you when I was growing up too cuz I’m around your age and now that I’m an adult and you are it makes me feel grateful that I watched you grow up with me as well as the millions of other kids our age or younger. Thank you for being yourself, it’s been a wonderful ride and there’s only more amazing memories to come 😌
4:00 ARMS is sooo underrated. Played the demo for a while but kinda forgot it existed. Tommy playing ARMS is a surprising but welcome revelation.
Real
The day when Technoblade died and Tommy held his first live show, one star died but another one was reborn and started to shine brighter than ever to fill that darkness that was left after the tragedy
For some weird reason this is really relatable for me.
I'm not a youtuber, I'm a guy who wanted to study Astronomy. I worked my ass off, I fought off demons to get to the place I was right now, and I was struggling, but I was doing well, I have a lot of great friends around me, I was getting good grades (mostly), but I felt stuck. A lot of things also crossed my paths that worsened the whole experience, and I was struggling in some specific things due to my ADHD and not being able to actually learn from mostly theoretical subjects, and I just didn't know what to do. But I was studying astronomy. I'm the first person in my family to possibly get a bachelors degree in anything. And it's astronomy! How cool is that?
My dream was to become someone that is involved in the creation of telescopes, or the one who finds cool stuff in astronomy, and can keep asking himself the most abstract questions. But since I've noticed I'm not made for theoretical work, and really want to get crafty, I notice I couldn't go on. And that's where it differs from your story, because I couldn't find the determination and focus to continue my study. But I did find a new chance. And I'm as determined as ever to get my bachelor's degree in Applied Physics now, and become an engineer who makes parts for telescopes. Something I realized really is my dream. Being able to be crafty AND involved with astronomy.
And seeing you reaching your goals, but feeling lost at the same time, and finding a new passion to continue in the same area, but in a different way, resonated with me. It touched me and I shed a tear. I hope you become the best fucking comedian there is.
This is incredible and your story is so empowering, i hope i learn to be as motivated about life as you or tommy are :)
I bet you didn't just stabbed your friends on the back, accused them of illegal activity based on nothing and then regretted nothing when you turned out to be wrong tho.
I had a similar road as you, but i was in an abusive foster family instead. The difference is that we still have a spine, while Tommy... is a different story.
coming back to watch this, because every time I do it gives me a new drive to not give up. its crazy, I've basically grown up watching your videos, and you've been the absolute biggest inspiration in my life. watching you grow into the amazing person you are is crazy too. thank you for everything Tommy.
You've definitely been a huge inspiration for me over the years man. I'm so glad you're able to enjoy what you're doing, and I wish you the best going foward!

tommyinnt: the things tommyinnt won’t tell you
written by tommyinnt
Right now, nothing feels more relatable to me than that moment he was talking about when you’ve hit that milestone you’ve been working towards for so long and reach that dead end of not knowing what to do next - especially in conjunction with having gone through a series of really shitty misfortunes/experiences and losing enjoyment/motivation in the things around you.
That definitely hit home, though obviously the circumstances are extremely different. It’s something I’ve been struggling with (though I’m obviously not going into personal detail). It kind of helps to hear someone experiencing the same thing and just that reminder to take a step back and reevaluate - especially the reminder that it’s okay to take a step back and reevaluate - feels like what I needed to hear.
I think it would be fair to say that this video has really helped me feel more validated and more self-aware of how much I’ve matured over these past years than I did previously. Just solely for no other reasons than that this video just feels really grounding while up until this point a lot of stuff has just felt absurdly surreal and that something about seeing evidence of Tommy’s maturity feels nostalgic in a way.
It feels like seeing evidence of officially turning over a new chapter even though it’s probably already been going on unofficially for a while. Just that kind of acknowledgment that something has progressed makes the idea of taking the new steps easier so I’m grateful I watched this video.
dude this is so crazy to watch as someone who’s started watching in the quarantine era. so crazy how you’ve grown man.
20:58 I actually felt bad when I saw the vlog videos struggle to hit a million views because they were great and quite entertaining
I started watching you when I was fourteen, I’m eighteen now and headed into adulthood. Through my teenage years I struggled with feeling out of the loop or a bit weird when hanging around my friends, constantly worrying if I was being fun enough or if I was being too much. I remember when I first found your dsmp videos and thinking how amazing it was that someone could be so authentically themself and such a confident, hard worker, (even if it was faked at times) that is the reason I began looking up to you. And now I'm an adult with more confidence than I had before, but now no direction to go in. I understand the weird floating stage of having great things but not feeling fulfilled or having no where to pour your heart into. I'm still trying to find it, but I know with time I will find the things that bring me joy and a sense of fulfillment. Thank you for being so open about what you've been through, it helps me realize I'm not alone, I'm just one of the billions of people trying to do the whole life thing everyday.
Tommy has helped so many people in these past 6 years, but the person he helped the most was himself
11:17 this part genuinely made me smile, he looks so happy here
I've started watching you when I was barely 15, I'm nearly 18 now. I knew very little English since it's not my first language, and you helped me a lot. Your videos helped guide me through tough times and also helped me learn the language. Not only the subtitles, but the joy you had in every video helped me with everything in life. And as always, don't cry because it ended, but smile because it happened. Thank you, Tom. Thanks for everything.
if you hadn't pointed it out i wouldn't even know english isn't your first language, you're doing awesome buddy, tell your cat i said hi

My parents dont understand why i watch you so much, and why i love watching your videos, but its because in 2020, when you joined the DSMP i started watching ur videos. i was in a really shit place and u cheered me up, whenever i was sad i just watched ur videos. i was 10, didn't get to do my SAT's, was being bullied at school and online and my dad and my sister both were just.. shit. they treated me like a servant, i was doing *everything* for them. i was thinking of giving up, but then i watched a video you uploaded, i got the notification that you uploaded and i watched it, didn't think about anything other than "this dude is so fucking cool" and when you did the show in Bournemouth 2023, i was so excited. i had to leave right before the ending though cuz anxiety attack, but i got a shirt! i was so happy, i was wearing a yellow bucket hat but i assume you probably didnt see me as i was near the back. i had on my tommyinnit hoodie and i was so happy, probably the happiest i'd ever been. i wish i could've gotten a pic with you at least but id didnt get that chance, would've been epic though. anyways enough of my rambling, YOU'RE AWESOME!

Proud of you dude! Super cool to hear your story and the lessons you've learned. Glad you're in a good spot! Such a cool thing to be able to say at 20 years old.
Keep it up! Hyped to see what you do next
This is going to be long and convoluted and whatever but this video is just really good. Like really really good. You do such a wonderful job at conveying tone and feeling in every part of this video, the music, the editing (SpokyAsh fucking knocked this out of the park) and the script work so wonderfully together. The joy and excitement in the beginning is so vivid and sincere, I feel like you really succeed at making your journey feel very tangible and I really appreciate your honesty and self-awareness. I just had a massive smile on my face the whole time watching that. The second section was genuinely really heartbreaking and your script there is so so good, I think what you went through is something viewers are vaguely aware of but obviously it’s really difficult to quantify sitting behind a screen but fuck you made me feel actual dread.
The last section is really heartwarming and I’m glad you’ve found your stride, weird to say as a stranger but I’m incredibly proud of where you’re at today and the maturity and self-awareness you possess is really commendable. This whole video is such a well crafted narrative in somehow such a short amount of time, I feel like you hit every important emotional beat and ended it in a very cathartic and emotionally provoking way. This was just so stellar, I can’t remember a time when a youtube video has made me feel this strongly. Really really really well done.
you’re awesome man, thanks for being so cool. I hope you’ll always be as happy as you’ve made us

24:55 "i dont love you guys. N- fuck off" tommyinnit 2024 (we still love you)
as a graduating senior in five days, these problems have been on my mind; change, interest, who i am, but i was never worried about them until recently. The unknown is what scares me, college is this place where people find what they’re passionate for, and i can’t help but worry what i won’t find anything. I relate to tommy though, being put in a spot where you don’t know what’ll catch you is terrifying. However tommy shows me that relying on yourself is vital, and building a community as you go on. thank you tommy for being yourself, i will always try my best to be myself everyday.
I can’t believe I actually cried at a goddamn Tommyinnit video😭🙏 this was absolutely great man. I remember during covid, I didn’t know what the hell I was gonna do yk? Like most people probably. School was still there, but it just wasn’t the same. I like my comfort zone, being by myself and BEING myself with no one to judge me - and covid, despite being an awfull experience for the entire World, was an oportunity for me to just detox from the public, find new interests and take up old hobbies I didn’t have the time to enjoy anymore. However, it get's to a point, when you run out of this loneliness-induced productivity, and really start missing the normality that was around you your entire life, that you took for granted. We all knew deep down quarantine was going to take a long time. That Old Normal we were SO used to was far away on the horizon. My self-esteem was getting lower and lower, and so was my interest in most things. Sometimes after online class, I'd sit in bed and wonder what the hell I should do if I can’t do anything I would usually do because I'm not allowed too. I decided to browse RUclips, maybe something would catch my eye and surely enough, I'm recommended one of Tommyinnit's Bedwars videos. I decide to Watch it because I really didn't have anything better to do. I'm very glad that I made that decision. You've kept me entertained my entire covid experience. I've probably never laughed quite as hard as I did up untill I've watched your videos. And I still do. Watching you grow up made me realize, that I really did grow up too. I'm absolutely sure that I'll always look back at your chanel with great memories.
On a side note from my wallowing, I'm really happy you've found something completely new that you're Truely enjoying. Your Stand Up's are amazing, keep it up!!!
Man im so happy for beeing able to watch you grow up and to be part of this comunity, i feel like i did the right choice with my favorite youtuber. Besides you not uploading so many videos anymore im just so excited to see what you´ll do in the comedy niche. But I´ll stil always remember the exitment of receaving a notification that tommyinnit were live in 2021, the yt notification of your vlog channel, it´ll always be a part of me. Thank you Tommy, for everything. See you on the stage.
There are always more room to conquer, never give op on you!
STOP I CRIED WATCHING THIS 😭 but on a serious note, I found your channel when I was in really bad place mentally and your content helped me a lot so thank you
I hope you are ok new
@@Leah-j7j oh thank you!! I’m doing a bit better now than before
Tommy, that was absolutely incredible. You have no idea just how much I needed to hear that. I often feel like I can never reach my full potential with RUclips & other life goals, and I always feel behind. I’m turning 19 soon, and I always had the dream of being a largely successful kid/young content creator. But it just hasn’t panned out that way for me. I went through a lot of shit, and felt like I was the only one going through that, thinking all that, worrying about all of that, and feeling lost. I constantly feel like I’ve missed my time to shine when it comes to RUclips, or like time is running out and I don’t have it together enough to seize the opportunity. Like I’m constantly watching everyone’s success and getting left behind, while also feeling unclear of what I want to achieve and how to do it.
But hearing your story… that was so so impactful. Genuinely, it nearly brought me to tears (but of course I don’t cry, I’m a manly masculine man 💪😤 *sniff*). Seeing all the struggles, doubts, worries and all you went through when, to all of us, it seemed like everything was perfect for you, was really… a very human moment, you know? Like you said, everyone is insecure, struggling and has worries of their own, and I keep forgetting that. In all honesty I don’t know how to explain what it made me feel, but the best way I can describe it is… secure, reassured, and not alone. You genuinely have no idea how much seeing your journey, with all of its ups and downs, has given me newfound hope and a fresh perspective. It helps to remember that being a big name on RUclips is not all sunshine and rainbows, and that we’re all just people at the end of the day.
I’m so glad to see where you’ve come, and that you have newfound passion. I realize that that’s one of the key things in life, discovering new things that excite you and challenge you. Things to work towards. Life is all about new experiences. And the fact that through persuading comedy, it’s making you enjoy RUclips again, is just incredible!
You’re a true inspiration, Tommy! Thank you so much for everything, truly.
Hello Tom, I just wanted to say that that I don't normally watch your videos but drops like these from time to time is why I stick around your channel and check it from time to time. I hope you all the best in life and your deserve all the recognition you got at this point in life
I remember watching you from around 20k and remembering talking to friends and saying "this guys gonna be big." You were and always will be a couple years older than me and I always looked up to you, so i'm really grateful you'd be so open in a video.
You've got a great personality and i'd definitely enjoy watching some more personal videos with you as the focus, even some commentary style RUclips video.
I doubt you'll ever see this but in the slight chance you do, take it easy Tommy, you're the best
Tommy, you’ve taught me a lot. I’ve been here ever since L’Manberg first blew up, and it’s been some of the best years of my life.
I’m 18, just graduated high school. And I don’t know what to do, I don’t know if I’ll ever feel like an adult. But you remind me that I can do it, you are a living reminder of everything good in my life.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for these past years. I’ll never forget all of you, all the memories we’ve made together, and I’ll never forget you, Tommy. Thanks for everything. :)
Hi, I'm 19, so basically the same age as you. I don't think you have to feel like an adult, on the contrary, I think most people our age don't feel grown, because we aren't fully. I don't think I'll feel like an adult by 30. I'm always going to watch kids shows and have some childish interests and qualities. I don't think I'll have everything completely together. But, that's the good bit. There's always something to work towards, even when there's nothing to look forward to. Whether that's a job, school, improving mental health or beating a high score on a video game. I'm in uni now, moving to 2nd year, I'm moving from dorms to a house with friends, my mental health has chilled out. My year has, on paper, not been the best of my life, my family life is hell currently. But I think I'm working towards something great, and it's a fantastic reason to stick around.
Sometimes people get there slower than others, everybody says, 'Do your best every day'. But I've realised that it doesn't mean you have to overexert yourself in everything. It really mean, 'Do your best, for that day. Don't work as hard as you can all the time. Just give what you feel like you can give, and that's enough'.
It's interesting because for a long time during dsmp I felt so dependent on it to keep me alive through my depression and by the time it ended I didn't care about it anymore because I figured out how to make myself feel better without it. I like these down to earth videos because it kind of feels like everyone just woke up from the crazy dream that was the pandemic (even though that was a few years ago now) and I like to see that everyone is doing well these days.
Honestly super inspirational.
Can’t wait to see what other RUclipsrs start to pop up over the next few years and what their stories will be like.
