#selfimprovement
24 years old egyptian here, before high school I had someone like this, I dealt with him well and was somewhat successful in hitting back at his bullying but he just messed my brain up, made me overthink by how much he tries everyday to set me up for trouble by lying to teachers or telling other students to bully me
I changed school because of him (well one of the reasons) and met other bullies as him, I was the smart but extroverted kind kid so it's normal to be targeted by those
but nothing of this mattered until I got into a severe (s'ui'cidal state of feeling depressed), gained 30 kgs, isolated, became terrified of everything even walking in the street beside cars, barely going to exams and passing after being an A's student all my life, hell I barely even showered or shaved, I remember I spent a full year going to every class with the same outfit, I was helpless with helpless people around obsessing and telling myself everyday I'm not even a man
During this years I was walking in this state and I met him, I looked down and he saw that, he laughed and passed next to me and slightly pushed me, still hurt like he cut my arm because of how weak I felt
Now I'm the complete opposite of what I was, I'm a teacher who stands up and cares for his young students, I had a 12 year old student's mom texting me saying that he loves me for the sake of Allah, it meant the world to me, I was doing the same for my colleagues at the same period I was bullied, I felt for them and did what I wished had someone around me to do for me, one of them met me during my state of depression years, he was happy and stopped his bike and shouted my name in happiness, but I couldn't notice him, I was soaked up into the darkness I was at, thinking about how my life will end up in this state, I just said hi with my hand, no expression and continued walking, it hurts more now than the push the bully did, wish I remembered him and had a chat
the more you grow inside as a man and as a Muslim, you learn to be more forgiving, I actually pray for this bully when ever I remember him, instead of feeling angry, him becoming a good man doesn't affect me, him entering jannah won't prevent me from doing so, and hating on him will just make my heart suffer, I still not sure if I see him what will I do, I can say I will probably give him the same push if I found him as the same guy he was, because standing up for yourself for the sake of allah is the same as forgiving, you do it when you are strong and capable of the opposite but you choose not to do it and forgive instead
this felt like journaling, which I had been struggling to do, so thank you Jak.
Man, this was something else. Your character inspires me tremendously, I have values that reflect your words and I plan to live according to them for the rest of my life. I might pin this comment just because of how much I like it ❤️
I'm Egyptian too ✌️✌️
Brother I am 17 right now, for the last month I was drowning in nostalgia and I was worried about my future and was really depressed. Then I found your channel , it is really helpful. Thanks Brother
i turn 18 in nov
Hey mate congrats on graduating feeling the exact same. Well actually I don't know what I am supposed to feel bro
I was and still am tied to nostalgia and I cant really tell if its a bad thing or a good thing.
@@yourblack2798having nostalgia is good but being obsessed with it and not letting it go is SERIOUSLY bad, sure it feels amazing but the distractions it does prevents all sorts of developments
Reminder: GOD LOVES YOU AND YOU MATTER #GODLOVE ALL GLORY AND PRAISE TO HIM AMEN AND HALLELUJAH 🔥🙏✝️❤️🔥
5:46 we did the same thing that year in year 6 when it came out, btw Jak congrats on graduating year 12 mate. Feeling free
Yeah bro hope you transition well
Same!! One of the most vivid memories of mine. That movie had so much in it, it was the first time that, as a child, I was seeing meaning in a movie. Definitely a turning point
Haha yeah I think the majority of primary schools did, much love bro thank you ❤️
Don't think youll see this, but I'm a 14 year old homeschooled kid with ZERO irl friends since 2020. None. And when I go to places like the grocery store i get unbelievably paranoid and don't like being around people anymore. I don't know how to get out of this state and I feel hopeless. Especially because I don't go to school and i never have the oppurtunity to meet kids my age. :( (edit: another thing is that i was raised VERY sheltered, and some kids my age are doing stuff that i am afraid of because i never met people like them, part of the reason why i dont meet people. Also my parents are not willing to stop homeschooling me.)
But how exact thought my also be can't fit in crowd I think it's because of loneliness
Also homeschooled girl here with zero friends in real life. I feel you so much! I never hang out with kids my age and feel like a social outcast
Idk if this is that easy. But u guys then should try a year of public school, if you don’t like it then go back to homeschooling
@@PxpsicleYT Either quit homeschooling or try to do hobbys and start engaging in the community. Force yourself into meeting new people
I was the same to the limit of obsession and paranoia, what worked was instead of fighting and feeling bad for being afraid, I accepted it and focused on how I reacted to it, what you do is the more important, the people around you all fear but do not tell you, they just cope with it, accept it as part of their humanity, and focus on conquering it
and by conquering it I mean chasing fear, this my mindset everyday, I see something and once I notice I'm afraid to do, I chase it and do it like when a lion sees a prey, I see fear as an opportunity to grow rather than something to be ashamed of
that's the mentality part, the physical part that will help you with that is your routine, start implementing thinks that challenges your mind and body on a daily basis, I spent the last winter in 5 degrees getting into cold shower at 4 am before fajr prayer for 5 minutes, I fast a lot and enjoy starving, I lost 18 kgs and still going, I cut off social media and porn with all of the pain that comes with it that I now enjoy and see as something to be proud of, and I push myself to seek knowledge again just like I was before depression happened
this is based on a simple principle, what you go through you grow through, you're treating your mind as a muscle, the more you train it and push it (realistically) the more it gets stronger and pushes away all of the characteristics you are suffering from like social phobia, embrace being embarrassed, embrace failing in front of people, see people for who they are, most of them are clueless and not that much caring as you, see them as creatures who need your help and even try to observe and notice their behavior and look you'll notice a lot of weaknesses that you don't even have
and with yourself, treat it as your kid, with pros and cons you will never hate your kid, you'll praise him sometimes, you'll push him sometime for his wellness, and in both cases you love him more that anyone else.
really feel like crying rn, this video hit home HARD
i dont normally comment, but i had to... your video made me aware of my addictions an made me actually realise if I want a better life, i'll need to get rid of them
thank you man, God bless
Much love, you are never alone, and never will be, keep your head up ❤️
These videos are always so interesting and helpful :)

I am the quiet kid too, but I am trying to become more communicative since I got into a new high school. It's been really difficult to get over myself but I believe I can do it!
Thank you for helping us as a generation, you're changing lives❤
You have belief, which 90% of people lack, which means you have more potential than the majority of people, keep going ❤️
You never fail to teach me something Jak
Aye much love man but take everything I say with a grain of salt ❤️
As a 14 year old with social anxiety, I have always been anxious around people at school and literally anywhere else in public. I don't know where it came from but I know it might have been covid or the fact that I had to transfer schools and I haven't been the same I just hope it gets better through time and I am also trying to become closer to Christ, so this video really made me finally relate to something so thanks for sharing your story and I hope anyone else that is going through the same thing to get better overtime.
I was there and I can tell you. It only gets better, even if it hurts and doesn't feel like it at the time. It only gets better. Treat is as your mistakes and experiences build personality and form who you are. It's what makes us, us. Just set a good, clean mindset, ingrain good habits, and just take everyday as it comes and somethings aren't that deep.
You become stronger, wiser and more understanding this way.
Trust the process and trust every day.
Thank you for your words, feels good to know I’m not the only one as well, so your comment means more than you think. I’m glad you’re enjoying these story vids because sometimes I just feel like they’re a waste of time 😂
@@JakPiggott hell nah, keep bringin' them!
@JakPiggott Dude, always! I really enjoy these and I really like what bring out in them and they way in which you do it. Just keep it up and enjoy the process. Cheers bro!
I see a lot of comments saying they relate and stuff, but I guess I’m another one of those
I was born really pale, borderline albino, and just like you, my face gets pretty red and I sweat a lot (pretty self conscious about it too), so it doesn’t help that my skin is so pale. My parents and friends can also tell that I lack a lot of confidence.
I started to be the quiet kid during grade 7 (I went to three schools, elementary kindergarten - 6, middle school 7-8 and currently high school which is 9-12 and I’m in grade 11) because of the switch to a new school. I didn’t know the people from other schools because I didn’t do that much sports and just started to be more quiet because I didn’t know as many people. That has carried out even to (current) year 11. After each year was over and so was the summer break I told myself “you can be social now that the summer is over and no one would judge you!” but I don’t think anyone would ever judge me if I suddenly socialize more. Maybe they would but I really shouldn’t be held back by what other people think of me. What jak said about the fact you can tell yourself “no one cares about what you do.” Or “people aren’t paying attention to you.” (Not in a negative way) and the anxiety still won’t go away is really true. I tell myself things like this all the time and still have all these problems with socializing. Anyway sorry if this was just a rant or something, I doubt too many people really care anyway but, hey, no downside to speaking about this right?
Thanks for being such an inspiration Jak
I felt the same way after moving to a new school. You’re more attractive and less judged than you think you are. Best advice I can give you is to start a conversation with someone near you. You can make a friend with them AND their friends. Be yourself yo
@@zz-pn9ih Yeah ive been in high school for 2 years now, and I still am pretty shy, but ive kinda just came into being that quiet kid
I identify with your comment too! You described me perfectly.
It always happened to me that my face turns red and everyone notices,
I don't know what to do to avoid that, I tell myself I shouldn't feel embarrassed but my face turns red anyway.
Nah this was not a rant trust me, if I yapped for nearly 20 minutes and you listened to it all, me reading this for 90 seconds is nothing in comparison. My best advice when the affirmations don’t work will always be to challenge the anxiety, go out and just do it, who cares if my face goes red or I stutter, I’d rather be embarrassed than be regretful because at least at the end of the day I can sit back and say “I tried” and anxiety didn’t beat me.

same ignore this video theres nothing wrong with it
@@acoolyoutubechannel7849you missed the point of the video then, it wasn’t saying that being the quiet kid is bad.
If you take the title at face value yeah, but from what I could understand, he was saying that he felt like he couldn’t be himself ig and was too wrapped up in preserving an identity that he couldn’t branch out.
That’s what I got from it at least.
@@ItsRaven69 it’s bad to be a quiet kid if you aren’t one, i understand

Wonder is my favourite movie
I’ve kinda out grown it now, idk that might just be my thoughts, but it was definitely by fav back in 2018
I think you’re doing great man. Always remember “ a negative mind will never give you a positive life”
100% brother, thank you for the reminder 🫶
Wonder is an amazing movie. I read the book when I was younger and I loved it. Made me appreciate the littlest things in my life.
*"As long as your actions reflect the character you wish to have, there's no reason why everything won't work out"* I love that
Haha yeah we read the book and we’re rewarded with the movie at the end of the year 😂

Hey bro, I'm 15 and it's been a year since I discovered your channel, I used to get super anxious and I was a pretty skinny kid. Then I discovered your channel, you helped me just a little back then but last month I was starting high school, and you were the first person that came to mind, so I watched one of your videos and it stuck with me for the whole day, it gave me the confidence I needed so thank you for the help you gave us all!
That's good that things have started to improve! The think is adversity and difficult times can help people stronger, better in the future... so I say use the difficult experiences in your past to be stronger, better person in the future!
On a different, the videos on the playlist on my channel titled 'Purpose of Life?' might change someone's life for the better!
First second in, already know its gonna be crazy inspirational, good stuff mate. 😃
I had anxiety cause of home problems and sucked I was outcasted cause non of my family members would show up to any event I was completely alone
Hey bro, love your videos! You are an inspiration to many others with the same positive mindset. Hope to read ur response brother, have a good day!
I really wish I was his friend.
Aye where you live bro?
@@JakPiggott I'm all the way in South Africa, far innit? I'm 17 by the way, you taught me a lot. I'm also a quiet and introverted kid but I was never bullied. I'm just a nostalgic merchant with body dysmorphia. 🤣
I'm that quiet kid 🙂
And there is nothing wrong with being quiet
He talked about different kind of quiet
Sure, but dont ever let being quiet limit you. You have a lot of potential
Since you’re reading the comments on this video, I‘m going to tell my story with anxiety. I‘m gonna write down how I feel about it from my heart and I hope, if you see this, you could leave a small response. It would give me a confidence boost.
I‘m a 14year old guy from Germany. In 2020, I got to a new school. Everyone in my age did. It’s kind of like going from primary to middle school. In Germany we call it „weiterführende Schule“. Sounds funny, doesn’t it? So when all of this lockdown and online class thing started, I didn’t really had friends, because I didn‘t really knew anyone in my class at that new school. Look in the replies. There’s the rest of my comment.
So I was just sitting in my room, „participating“ in that online class and haven’t had any social contacts since then. When school was finally getting back to normal, I got to sit next to a classmate I really didn’t know. After talking to him and spending some time with him, we came along pretty well. After school, we played some Minecraft together while talking in a call. That’s when I also slowly was starting to get to know more people in my class and everything was fine. But one thing ruined my self confidence. My height. The classmates I hang out with were sometimes making fun of my height, because I was actually were small back then. It wasn’t bullying, but these „jokes“ they sometimes made, really made me think that I‘m worthless. That got worse and worse and worse.
And it got even worse when some of my classmates, forced me to talk to a girl. That went horrible and also lowered my confidence. It wasn’t really bad and at that time, I also wasn’t depressed or sad, but now, I can tell it was the part of my self confidence getting ruined. At the half of grade 6, 1.5 years after I switched schools, a new student came into our class. I didn’t really like him, but no one else in my class did. After 1 month of him being in our class, my mother told me that this new student invited me to his house and that I should meet him. I was nervous and thought I wouldn‘t get along with him, but that wasn‘t the case.
We both were having a great time together and were having the same interests. After that, I slowly drifted away from my old friends. I was still talking to them, but not as much as I did before. You now probably ask yourself? Why is this guy telling his entire life story and wastes my time? But please wait. This „new classmate“ is now my best friend. I share the same interests and values with him, we both have pure intentions and I‘m thankful that I have him in my life. But still, I had problems. Problems that no one knows about. While I changed my environment to the positive, I developed a corn addiction. That started in grade 7. This wasn’t really affecting me, but it got worse and worse.
I also was at home a lot and really didn’t do much (except busting a nut). This was pretty much my entire life during grade 8. Addicted to corn, no social interactions outside my circle, no interests. My life wasn’t bad. But I wasn’t really living the life I wanted to live. That’s when I discovered your videos. I slowly started to develop a purpose. I found out what I wanted to do, but I didn‘t take Action.
Until now. I‘m now in Grade 9. I have found my purpose. I know what I want to do now. I developed a relationship with God and know I‘m more ready than ever before to change my life and do the things I want to do. My anxiety gets better and better the more I do what I actually want to do, because I‘ve found out who I am. From now on, I don’t care what people think about me. I‘m doing what I think is right and if they don’t like that, then it’s their problem, not mine. You are one of the reasons why I can be productive and live the life I want to live. Because without you, I never would have thought about changing it. I‘m going to write down how it‘s going by the end of the year. I relapsed today, but learned from it. I‘m going to do better next time. May God bless you!❤️
We were all a quiet kid at one point
Hey jakk,I just got fcked up grades in my school test. It isn't like i failed but not able to achieve that grade goal of mine. And i am not also not any good at my sport,don't have any impressive skill,talent,good communication. Too much regular dude. I've been trying to improve my self but I am not seeing ant progress since last year.
I don't know why i am trying to improve at anything. I just trying to look good to others. Don't have any purpose to go after. Nothing has prepared for this
Don't know why i am even trying to improve.
Probably no one would see this comment. I just wanted to let this feeling of mine get out cause there's not really anyone i can share it with. It's kinda weird i am saying this since i am 15 now😅😅
If you are seeing this comment I'm letting you know that you still have yo teenage years. There is something special in everyone but it is the journey how you gonna find it and if you found that hold it on tight. Because bro/sis you're Talent will help you even if your studies don't. See, failing is just a part of a story but the way you come out of it is all that matters. 😊 So, keep going and don't forget to smile even in yo worst situation.
1st comment keep up the great work ur vids are a w
I definitely relate to what you said in the video, Jak. I've always been the "quiet" kid and a more introverted individual. Even at 17 years old, I often find myself anxious around people. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who is the "quiet kid". I always appreciate watching your videos man. 🙏❤🔥💪
I am the quiet kid and I can confirm it has ruined me
I can relate to this Jak. I used to get bullied when I was younger for being myself, but I've realized all people can be Is theirself. It made me anxious, and I avoided anyone, even my own family. I would isolate all day and doom scroll on tiktok. But I've realized the darkest nights have the brighest stars. Hope this helps, brother. Keep inspiring many generations to come 🙏
Thanks Jak for everything you have helped me so much, your so inspiring.
Hey jak, I’ve been watching since your first anxiety video, you help me a lot with what I labeled as my anxiety, I’m 19 and finally I’ve been breaking out of my shell, but you also saved me from a darker place than anxiety, which is rather not go into detail, but I’d always watch your shorts, all the way to the end, and feel so much calmer. Love you brother, and I hope you have a great day.
Wait when did you hit 1 million? You were at like a couple thousand the first time I saw your videos.
Hey Jak I’m 13 when I see everyone else I think there so perfect in my eyes and It makes me feel worse about my self I can’t ever walk up to anyone in a serious matter but when with my friends I feel like I can be my self but I still hide apart of me because I don’t wanna feel weird to them so what I’m saying is I really relate a little bit and this video really opened my eyes a lot ❤
18:55 nah bro, these few days I was anxious about some things in my life and this video gave me a relief, I think it prob will for other too, thank you!
I also had huge anxiety, but maybe not as severe as yourself. I think everybody goes through this phase of anxiety, but you have to understand that it's all just BS and nothing actually matters. Right now this mindset of just not giving a damn has helped me massively. I look women in the eyes, because they are not better than me, just equal humans, that's all they are.
9 views but 50 comments? Whats going on yt 😆😆
Prob just gotta refresh
Hi jak, thanks for this video! I see myself in you. I also went through something similar. I hardly spoke as a child because I was so afraid of what others would think. That's why I became so introverted at some point and I had very few friends and was often alone. I felt invisible. Today things have gotten a lot better thanks to a lot of work on myself. But I still often have problems integrating into groups and communicating well or building connections. I also often find myself being liked, and I would like to change that. But I won't give up! Thank you!
The weather is pretty nice today :)
As someone’s who’s 30 and recently came across your channel, it gets easier with age mate. Life and priorities change, anxiety will always be there but you learn to work around it & overcome it
Yo I need some help I’m 12 I so scared to talk my get red and I cry for the smallest reason I have high anxiety what do I do

I am 13. My neighborhood is full of street men. I absolutely hate it. I really do. My school? haha such a fun school. Its the best school educational wise. But people wise. Gossip girls. Guys wanting to fuck. Girls wanting to fuck. People wanting to bully others. And me. Whatever I do. I always stand out in this school. And I hate it. Almost all guys act as if im gay, their toy, or just doesnt want me around and want me to die tbh. Even tho im just being myself. I dont have anxiety. But I have HUUUUUGE social anxiety. Because of these girls and guys at school. I knew almost everybody at school. That I couldnt even try to be me, if I did, they would judge me. But they wouldnt know it would offend me, some do. I loved a hairstyle I wanted to do for the first day of school, i told one of my friends about it “its quite ass ngl” my brain just malfunctioned. As if my personality got deleted in a way. And I really hate that hairstyle now, I really do. This year I dont wanna be popular. I just wanna be by my friends. But I got pushed around a little bit on the first day. One day. It was 2 PM my mom said “can you buy us yoghurt?” I said why not. And the nearest store is like 150 meters away idk. But it takes 5 minutes to walk normally. Before I coukd reach it. There were older guys, Smoking, and I was wearing shorts. With my country, my region, if you are wearing shorts in the public, you will be really judged, “omg is that guy wearing shorts? Its so embarrassing” because you have to wear pants or long shorts to pray yk? So i didnt wanna go by them, i went on a longer route which avoided eye contact or ANYTHING. just to get to the store. After i bought it. I went on even a longer route to go home to not be seen, the night before the first day of school I started to panic. ALOT. Heart pounding, cannot breathe, my head feels suffocated by all the thoughts. “What if my hair is bad, what if it sucks, what if my clothes are too gay, what if theyre too mafia style, I couldnt sleep, I slept by those jellys that mske your head spin so you could fall asleep, i woke up, got to school, I started panicking again, i didnt know what to say to the teachers, should I say goodmorning? “Goodmorning” I said. And then one of my teachers said “woah hi come here!!” And the. We started talking, and I waited for my dad for a lil since he said wait. And we went on to our classes. The second my dad said “imma take you to your class” dad its okay you dont have to! “No no no so I can know where ur class is!” I told him again, he didn’t answer and came all the way. I started panicking, thank GOD no one was there yet.
If your still reading,
Thank You So Much and Have A Good Life.
I just turned 13, and have struggled with anxiety my whole life. I would have panic attacks at school to the point where I would almost faint, and not be able to breath. Your videos have helped me a lot, and I think we made the right person famous. I’ve realized that a lot of people relate to me by reading the comments, and something that helped me is taking one small step every single day, it could be as small as getting outside, but if you take one small step every day it takes you a lot farther then you could’ve ever imagined. Also you should write a book!!!
6:18 Him talking about being embarrased and proceeding to say "I gotta take a piss" is cinematically epic
Thank you so much i'm 13 this year and now in 7th grade i was actually the quiet kid in my class back then 6th grade
now i actually had many friends but still back august my father died it was devastating i almost lost my friends thank god they knew when i got back at school after 3 days of absent,i'm still bad at languages but i'm doing alot better at science
i started procrastinating at volleyball back in 6th grade,this year i'm preparing for my comeback next year since i've weakened alot,Thank you i was actually drowning my self from nostalgia those times instead,i also transfered from public to private it was more relieving that nobody knows too much about you.
Jak, thank you so much for all the help. This for sure applies to me as I continue to go after the girl I want and feel like I have a true connection to. And your videos have slowly been helping me now become good friends with her, I just need to know when and how to pull the trigger would be the best move, just waiting for my opportunity. Thank you Jak!
Jak do you still feel purposeless? I am so lost and I seeing everyone I ever knew surpass me in every way imaginable hurts like hell. I haven nothing to call my own brother. The hardest part is trying, im chronically lazy but your videos make me cope so thank you.
I'm worried that if I become more confident people won't notice or think it's weird that I become more confident all of a sudden, but I'll try my best, thank you Jak
I love being a quiet person tbh. Keeps my life peaceful and focused. The older I get, the easier it becomes.
As an Indonesian citizen, saying "Terima Kasih" for Tara McCarthy is sad and funny at the same time 🤣🤣
jack you are too much relatable, when you talked about the sigma stuff i saw my old self in it ( i was in the same situation you described), this channel is a gold mine, changed my view on other and my self, thanks bro
A lot of people actually related to me......
And Im about to relate even more now with this video.
Hey Jak, could you do a short or vid on when to read and what you recommend?
This resonates with me more than I think any other video ever has. I'm the same age as you, Jak, and I was very very similar to you. How similar we feel and I've done the same things that you have done too. Ohhh the similarities.
Hey bro what should i do if i mostly like to spend some time alone in collage as there are many people that i think i should not be friends with i have 4 or 5 really good friends i do not spend most of time with them as they are in different classes but i enjoy my time with them
(also im trying to be more communicative)
It honestly broke me when my french teacher made a poem for all my classmates, because he called me the quiet kid in front of everyone (people made fun of me after that)
1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!! CONGRATS BROTHER!!!
Your passing important messages to the youth and you should be proud of it 👌
Crazy to think that Jak was 14 in 2024...
Man.
Why don't you message me anymore is it because I'm weird

Quick question, what do I do because people keep threatening my girlfriend and no one does anything its like every day mainly because of me. I get bullied all the time and now that shes my gf she ahs to go through the same pain but i dont want her to go through the same pain im going through, is bad enough. I get threats etc and I might just break up with her but im not doing it tmrw because its her birthday so idk what to do. What should I do? (Reply with suggestions)
If you truly love her and she also truly loves you then don't break up plzz, becuz its hard to find true love at this time,
And one suggestion if anyone bullies you're gf plzz protect her,
And if anyone tries to bully you then smile & be confident,
Don't be quite kid, Smile and Talk More With Friends(who friendly with you)
And try to make new friends(communicate),
And work on yourself, like workout like doing pushups pullups situps like etc daily,
And you can tell her to do sam thing which i said,
Plz don't breakup, yea be confident,
Like while someone bulling your gf, dont be quiet and watching, go there solve problem
(Don't go directly into fight))
My English is bad :)
Hey everyone! I'm here to get some advice from people and I hope someone can reply. My situation is that I'm not n my 5th week if freshmen year in high school. For some reason others connect so much better then me. I'm scared if not making friends. And also whenever I step into school anxiety hits. What to do?
Hey man, I dealt with the same issue as you. I'm a senior now and I can reassure you that it's okay that you don't have so many friends in high school. I have only a couple of true friends in my school and that's what keeps me going. :) I've never struggled to make friends until my freshman year started, it was like hell. Seeing everyone socialize and having fun, meanwhile I was just on my phone. I got picked on later on, but some people in my class stood up for me and actually became really good friends to me. We still hang out till this day and I look forward to seeing them in school every day. Do things that you like and keep working on yourself, prove them you're better than them. Be confident and keep on going! If you need someone to talk to, feel free to reply to my comment and I'd be happy to help you out.
@@pericano3923 Hi! Thank you for you're reply, to be honest I'm just more quiet in general and that's what sets me back. Everyone tells me it's just time but I see everyone doing better, to be fair and it makes it all hard. I don't find any classmates the same interest I have, and everyone there joking is pushing each other and making non sense jokes doesn't fits me at all. Again thanks for you're reply, I'm just panicking a bit to be honest.
@@nottrus I completely understand you, be more open and crack some jokes to see how they will react. Maybe some of them will become your friends!
I had HUGE anxiety start in secondary and my advice is that if you stick your head down and go into shy mode people will just think of you as lower, just head into groups of friends you like the look of and just put yourself in there and join I there conversation, I’m in year 8 rn and I’m in a good place but I could have done so much better if I would’ve been more confident at the start, hope things work out 😉
@@AstrapolloFG Hi thanks for you're reply! Well yes this is what I'm doing trying to talk with other groups but I always feel like I don't fit in.
you are a legend jak ❤
Rn I don’t feel like myself, tmrw im getting a different haircut and im nervous, always nervous anxiety and stuff… I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and it’s been helping me to push more and not give up. Basketball is probably the only thing I can distract myself from all the other “stuff”. Thanks…
I am 14 and I moved from a non english speaking country to Australia over 2 years ago. My *friends* aren't really close. It's like I only have "bronze friends" like you said in other videos. I'm introverted at this new Australian school :(
But your videos definitely help me 🙂👍
I’m 12 right now and I can relate, soon primary school is finishing 2 months.
I’m scared and nostalgic about my primary school memories thank you man, your amazing
You’ve changed me.
Hey mate, I'm a fellow Aussie also in year 12. I've always been the outcast/lone wolf in my school because I can't fit in and connect with others. I never got invited to a party, and never really hung out with anyone outside school, which made me feel excluded and alone. Your videos have helped me through tough times and encouraged me to pursue hobbies such as making content and sports, you're an inspiration to millions around the world Jak, without you, I wouldn't be in a better place, thanks for all the advice.
Your honesty is what makes you one of my favourite youtubers at the moment. I'm turning 20 in 2 weeks, and I was bullied when I was in school. Before lockdown, halfway through year 10, I was always scared of bumping into certain people and would avoid them at all costs. From year 8, I had to change into my PE kit in a seperate room. I was always quiet and only talked to people who I trusted.
Lockdown gave me a long break from this and gave me time to become more resilient. When I did go back, I wasn't picked on anymore and I was taller than almost everyone in the school. I only felt free from bullying when I joined college and now university. Here I have more room to be myself and make new friends
I've almost always been the quiet kid since year 2 due to bullying, but there have been people here and there who made me the loudest person people could ever talk to, but even time had to take them away from me as we moved further and further away from my original province.
Now that I'm at year 12, things have gotten better now, but I'm still really trying to fix myself by connecting with people more, I'm so happy to find this channel who shares these stories now that we're just around the same age, thank you for this video!:))
Ive been struggling with anxiety, depression and su1dal thoughts for four years to the point where I barely know what it was like before this state - Thank you Jak Piggot although its not the same things you have gone through you've helped me more than I can fathom with words
I'm glad I found your channel some time ago. This video made me cry. I'm a bit older than you, but I'm learning from you. I'm still that quiet kid inside but it's slowly getting better. Thank you Jak.
I'm 13 years old and its pretty relatble that I'm experiencing right now I'm glad that you made a video about it now I know that I'm not the only one who experience this and when I was in grade 7th I pooped in my pants yeah I pooped my pants you can laugh whatever and it's because of my shyness I could not say to the teacher that I'm going to the restroom to poop but I'm so shy I'm like in my mind it's like "what if they laugh at me" and then it happened so yea... I learned from my mistake and I will not doing it again btw I'm grade 8 now so yea I'm still struggling with shyness your videos helps a lot to me! Keep it up bro! 💪 (sorry my English is not good please bare with me)
`Bro my story is similiar I was so extroverted and had so much confidence but when I was 10, covid hit and something just happened to me and I no longer had any confidence and I became so introverted talking to people less and less until I only had like 2 friends to hangout with
Jak, thank you so much for sharing your story! I can 100% relate to it. I was a regular guy in my preschool years. A bit naughty but never made problems to other people. I had a lot of friends, I loved attention and, in general, nothing could fear me. I would fly to the moon if I could. But then everything had changed. In first grade my "friends" showed their real nature: they started making fun of my last name (I'm Russian, in my country that is unfortunately a common practice). I kept telling them it was offensive but nobody gave a damn, so I stopped hanging out with them. A short time had passed and they started bullying me really bad. Almost every day after classes I was beaten up by my ex "buddies". But the worst part had yet to come. My parents started figthing (vocally) and that affected me damn hard... So I decided to be neutral, not taking sides. In some time I noticed I wasn't the guy I was before. I became more anxious, more irritated, more distrustful, and more cynical. I wasn't leaving my room. I was mean to my parents and to my friends who didn't leave me. At the time I thought it was a pretty straight thing, sort of the law of nature. IT AIN'T!!!! I HATE MYSELF SO F... MUCH FOR BEING SUCH A F... IDIOT!!! And now I don't have enough energy to say "Sorry, pal, I didn't mean it"... Sometimes when I see other people suffer, it makes me smile. I don't know why, it wasn't the thing I was born with... I love people really much, I'm always ready to reach my hand, but oftentimes I pass by because I'm either afraid of being rejected or I don't care... I feel it’s like a slow poison, eating away at my soul. The thing I learned for good, guys, is knowing how to choose the right people is one of the most precious skills you should learn. Always listen to your gut. If someone looks cool but your inner you says don't trust him then in this case you should prioritize your intuition. Guys, a happy life is impossible without (1) not listening to yourself, (2) not giving enough care to your parents and real friends, (3) not caring about your health, (4) not knowing what you want, (5) not learning from other people, and (5) not doing things you crave for. I see it's not an easy time we live in but we need to be strong to succeed. Do your best, try over and over, learn to lose the game and everything will be just fine 🤠. LOVE YOU ALL GUYS! YOU'RE NOT ALONE! WE ALL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN! LET'S DO IT! Remember that toxic silence always breeds oppression. Take care ☃🔝
This video was very helpful. I relate to your story so much and I really appreciate you opening up about your social struggles, thank you Jak
Good insightful video Jak... thank you
I can relate quite highly to this vid because ive always been shy and anxious, but i dont have it quite as bad as you did, and also being in grade 8 now in a new school that has double as many kids as my old one its become more stressful for me to make people think i'm a chill and cool relatable dude.
I've definitely been the quiet kid in high school, it really does suck
i am a 15 year old 5”5 sophomore n theres just so many aspects of these “13-18” videos that i feel i relate to. and within the last couple weeks, after watching some of your videos, ive really been working on myself and ive been consistent. im also starting to see that im having fun just, being alive and improving. but of course ive had times where i didnt feel the best, or if i just didnt wanna do ANYTHING anymore. but yeah, i genuinely have been doing better and even i could tell. thank you Jak
I don't know but you are so relatable i started watching you when a random short popped up in my fyp i thought let's click and see what is this firstly i thought it was a random person giving that motivation that lasts only for a minute but i felt defferent i thought i can see myself in you and i started watching you it's been 1 month since I watched porn last time I had a little urges but I controlled them by watching your videos and everything seems amazing I uploaded a video on my channel yeah this is my channel it's really messed up right now but i will try to improve it. thanks Jack
Bro I am 18 years old 1 weak ago me and my friends went to a grave at 11 o clock in night yard to just see how a 3 year old cropse look like.
Few moments passes by the people who were digging the cropse out saw us they were running straight us with their shovels my friends ran and we tried to go back but me and my homie where too short to reach the back wall they were saying those batards will stay there and then it went quiet. To be honest I am 5.8 my friends betrayed us we have no other option than hiding I was hiding behind the rocks after a few moments later those people went back to their works so we waited till the morning and goes to our homes after that. Now I realized not to trust anyone
Since then I have never talked to them
I'm 16 right now. All of your videos are super amazing and helpful, even if often I already do what you suggest or bring up, it helps validate what I'm doing so much. It makes me have just that little confidence boost to keep living my best life, and not worry too much about the future or dwell too hard on the past.
❤
I used to be so social, now i just hate being around people now ,maybe its coz of the racism but that year really changed me. Especially changing schools a lot ive switched about 5 times in 7yrs
I have the same thing but instead of my face going red my eyes water when I read IN SCHOOL people just sometimes say are you alright lol
It’s probably I’m a gamer 😎😎😎
Thanks for another amazing vid Jak keep going master
Forcing my self to open back up many things I felt held me back especially past experiences it’s crazy I feel like a sense of adrenaline before I do something I’m not comfortable with like approaching females but i recently just been getting better keep up your channel I just found it today and already see a clean perspective of approaching anyone with 1of your videos ands that’s connecting that’s the best thing
