    My takeaway from your video: embrace and show your imperfections and fuck mainstream contrived marketing which isn't the real you. Being real, flaws and all is the best part of life and makes living that much more interesting. I challenge you NOT to be what you think others want to be or look like (fuck 'perfect', there's no such thing), but rather, just be you. You're amazing, flaws and all! ❤

    that's the best thing about you. you're able to talk about important issues like sexuallity, anxiety, mental health and the fake glamour that exists behind the scenes. Even when you try to "expose" your potential flaws. You're also show a relatable side, that's why people are crazy about you, you show the not being perfect is Ok. You should be really proud of what you're doing. We love you even more. xoxo.

    I train people working in broadcasting and one of the many things I tell budding radio presenters to be, is to be themselves - It's the best way to connect with the audience and the cooking video with your mum does exactly that and shows you're just like everyone else - It was funny and not embarrassing so you should post it. Additionally there are plenty of people out there ready to put you down, there's no need to put yourself down. Who cares what other people think? Be yourself. You're not answerable to anyone! I enjoy watching your content.

    Such real check-ups are very healthy and I recommend making them a regular feature (every couple of months, perhaps?) because people do easily get distracted by the perfectly captured moment. This format is entertaining, funny and establishes a closeness between you and the viewer. I appreciate this a lot! Also the stubble adds nice nuance without distracting.

    think you raise a valid point, I actually covered this topic a couple of years ago when I was teaching. As a result, whenever I see photos on instagram or any social media platform I always think to myself "is this real?"
    Side note: I can't take a picture to save my life, so I would never be able to do a instagram vs reality :P
    Another side: you're one of the reasons I have instagram.

And i look to myself and think.. wow i am just a nerd sitting in my room and i dont that have these thnigs. I mean nothing comes easy, you have to work for it. But i wish I were more open mind to random ppl out there. Would be meet more ppl, but that is not easy while these "interesting" times like now. I wish you the best and you are doing a great job.

      Regardless of how good someone looks when they are young, it won’t stop the aging process. We all get older, if we are lucky, and it’s important to be healthy (meaning not sick and having all your parts in good working order, and enjoy the few short years you have in this life. Never be jealous of someone who may be more muscular or maybe thinner. If you want to pump iron, do it. If you’re feeling fat, just eat less. If those things don’t work, try wearing clothes that are more flattering. Or don’t worry so much about it...have fun and stop watching other people live there lives! Imagine this guy or anyone else you feel intimidated by in thirty years from now.

    I don't mind your flaws since after all, no one is perfect which makes them human. I still admire your content and you as a person regardless. It's interesting yet at times, amusing to hear some backstory on your behind the scenes. Guess it shows that there is a lot of hard work involved along with some mishaps along the way but nevertheless, you put some high quality content for me to enjoy and inspire as long as you do your best.
    Having said that, I don't find myself comparing to other people's content on social media (since you don't know what they have been through) and find that I prefer to be safe and comfortable on social media, free from drama and negativity which I say is more important.

    Have you tried Cosentyx to treat psoriasis? For me, it worked very well!

    The issue of colouring the reality is not a new concept. Actually, it is as old as the hills. Even the portraits of king or queens were "paintingshopped" in order to make them look more grandly and attractive. Nothing is wrong with it as long as you do not let yourself be fooled by others, or even worse, by yourself. Stay beautiful and positive!
