Props to him for not allowing himself to be interrupted
Louis Theroux
or YUNGBLUD?
Yungblud😂
@@dogbog99listen lil
I Was gonna say LOL
General policy: if you ask someone a question, do not interrupt their answer. If you want to clarify or explain why you asked, do so AFTER they've answered. It's just disrespectful to ask and interrupt. Especially with sensitive topics like mental health.
this is louis… one of the beat interviewers… he’s probably partially intending to do it because he’s knows about adhd and how easily distracted they can be
@@zentzu4003 yeah nah you dont interrupt people no matter what, and if you do, then apologise and let them continue. there's no excuse for not being a respectful person lol
@@rebekagogh don't be silly, that's way over the top
@@zentzu4003wtffff is wrong with u
People with ADHD and similar disorders are really good at masking their emotions. On the outside, you can be bubbly, and cheerful and seem like nothing really bothers you. On the inside (for me anyway) you're depressed, anxious and your brain just never shuts up.
Totally relate to this!
ADHD isn't even a real condition 🤦♂️
Do some research, doctors say there's no scientific proof 🤡
So true 😭
Right? Just never shuuuuuts uuuup. Even though you wish it would but also recognize how awesome it is to be aware whilst not shutting up! Lol blessing & a curse.
I had a job where I had to smile and be pleasant all day to many people. Made me die inside, cause I was as low as fu** but everyone loved me. Enjoy talking to random people now. Smile cause I want to. It always gets better and you'll always find the right amount of confidence if you push yourself somewhat.
He's right about the ADHD, it's really difficult to deal with. Especially when you're alone.
ADHD is NOT real 🤦♂️🤡
@@smokey6292 read "Scattered minds" by Dr Gabor Maté.
@@smokey6292 Spoken with confident ignorance. You'd make a great American, if you weren't one already.
I think most people are alone and then it's like once you reach out for help no one calls you back...like in the song "I'm Not Okay" .... "They will keep you calling so you don't wake in the morning." Exactly this and like Danial Mackler says (on youtube) if you were to off yourself the parent would blame it on your mental illness..."Oh she/he struggled with mental illness" when all these Millinials and below just want to be loved and find a supportive group so that they don't feel alone.
@Mariah Conklin for help with any kind of mental illness, it may seem calling friends or family for help is the right thing to do, but calling professionals for help and support is the best decision, then you get the right advice, support, and medication if that's what's needed. 👍 don't worry about song lyrics or people not calling back, you can call them all after you get the right support from professionals. You look after yourself. Never give in.
I was diagnosed age 40 and it was the biggest "oh that's the reason" moment in my life. I'm insanely creative and driven when I'm hyper focused but when I am not, everything goes to 💩! It's so important for people like yungblud to share their experiences in a positive light . It really hurts when people say it's a condition that's too easily diagnosed in naughty kids. I had a typical middle class 80s upbringing and no amount of after school sports is going to exhaust the ADHD out of you!
do you mind me asking how you went about getting diagnosed? i’m almost 30 and convinced i have adhd!
@@sophicatt5219 I just got diagnosed at age 29. If you live in the UK it will take years to get an assessment through the NHS. Carry out some research and go private if you can afford it.
Exactly. Our brain processes are different.
It’s caused by trauma in childhood. Let me guess, you had some form of stress growing up at home. There is a genetic component, but only that you were sensitive. I say this as I every ADHD adult I have met fits that pattern. For me it was chaotic family life. Blessings.
I've had ADHD all my life
but was never allowed to express anything (my childhood wasn't easy)
so I build myself a cage in my own head made up from self criticism and fear. Watching him is like seeing all the stuff I want to do so badly
all the random stuff that pops into my head all the energy
I feel very similar
but can't express anything
it feels suffocating
my head is never quiet and isn't a nice place to be
music helps a lot like you can't imagine
I love he makes the people feel less lonely
he is amazong
Real
I feel you. I feel the same
Just do it now. Don’t hide the real you. Express yourself x
That is so relatable. I do have ADHD (not diagnosed yet, where I live mental health problems are a stigma but all the symptoms checks out) but grew up in abusive environment and weren't allowed to expressive. It feels suffocation. I had so many things that I wanted to do but feel trapped. I need move out. Shit
ADHD and sleep deprivation is such a shit combo. The deprivation only enforces all the symptoms of the adhd. Less concentrated, mood swings, depression, anxieties and executive dysfunction. Only getting three hours of sleep will fry your brain 🧠
Yungblud has been my whole life since discovering his music. As someone who struggles to feel good I play his music and I find myself at peace. It's my happy place no matter the songs
Love how open and honest he is ❤️ bless him 🥺🥺
Shame about when he exposed himself to Louis at the end of the documentary
Dom is so pure and we are so lucky to have him 🖤 he really does care for the fans.
The gift & the challenge often go hand in hand 🙏
Thank you Yungblud for talking frankly, helping us to open up and the amazing music. You truly are gifted, beautiful and a thoughtful human being. Long may the music last xx
Amazing? I find it to be horrid. His voice is just awful.
Shame about when he exposed himself to Louis at the end of the documentary
Spot on comment 👌
I relate to him so much his saved my life I LOVE YOU YUNGBLUD ❤️
He's a total sweetheart. I wish I could give him a hug of support.
As someone who deals & has been diagnosed; I take it as blessing [sometimes a curse; More a blessing 💯] because I too have realized so much about myself.
It's 100 cars going down 100 lanes of traffic at 100 miles a hour all at the same time. It's A LOT.
I feel this interview SO much.
I get it. For real.
Keep on keeping on yungblud, good things will keep happening mate. Fair play to you for talking about it.
I love this man so much….
Crying my eyes out bc I identify with this so fkn much. If you're worn out and can't socialize you're "looking for attention", if you're energetic ppl don't care about your pain bc you're "so happy". Some ppl will never understand the struggle of having a brain that never shuts down, it's exhausting and so lonely. I'm glad he spoke about it so openly, it truly brought me to tears. I love him even more 🖤
ADHD can be a gift but it’s also painfully debilitating.
Love, love LOVE this incredible young guy.......his outlook, his talent and his music. My favourite artist and person at the moment (and I'm a 56 year old!!)
Why are all of you boomers falling in love with this person… he is awful at singing and just a straight weirdo.
He's brilliant isn't he 😄 I'm 45 and it's so good to see someone with such talent and personality coming through
Shame about when he exposed himself to Louis at the end of the documentary
I'm 51!
Thanks for helping me get my diagnosis at 22 years old! Such an inspiration 🎉
Love watching Louis theroux interviews. What a lovely guy Dom is! ❤️ inspiration.
I feel this 💯 I've had ADHD since I was a kid myself & its a blessing & a curse just like he said
Amazing how he help youngsters. Just because you have a dark core doesn’t mean you cant bring out the brightest light. People with darkest hours comes out stronger. Funny how we still put people in certain criteria. Im surprise about Louis comment about risks. I think its a blessing that teens has yungblud. The stories this teenagers telling, its amazing how strong they really are although they might not feel that way now. Im so moved by this fanbase.He might not be the answer to their problems but he certainly is the strength in their darkest hours and the light to what they want to feel in the future. We should be grateful they found someone that connects them that understands what they go through and give them that energy and support. No one can guarantee on risks. Not even a doctor. Its the moment that counts that gives people that moment of peace, belonging, and to feel other feelings than your own struggles. It helps teens to move forward and live to fight for another day to overcome their struggles . I say give Yungblud that Arena in as many countries possible and people will flock. Once you’ve been to his concert, you will come back regardless you like the genre or not.Its an experience you don’t want to miss. That energy and connection is just unique vibe that is both universal and can’t be shaken off
Mental health struggles are a horrible thing, prayers to people going through that
Much love, You're a kind soul 💞
Adhd is not a mental health issue lol.
@@RUclipscansuckmycockadhd effects your mental health a lot tho so they’re right
Now I understand what has been affecting me for years .. I was afraid it was something more serious even if I confirm that being alone is absurd and I do not wish anyone to experience that flow of mixed and constant thoughts that constantly pass through your head .. Being able to live with it by making it a "winning weapon" is the solution ..
Beautiful man, live and breathe yungblud. You’ll be happier x
Shame about when he exposed himself to Louis at the end of the documentary
I really liked him!!! He had such a magnetic and charismatic personality on Louis Theroux
😭oh my god, I am so unbelievably proud of him for being able to go in there and talk about mental health and what it is that drives him with such confidence and being unapologetically himself, I love you YUNGBLUD and I (as a really big fan) am so so proud of you, you inspire us everyday ❤
Honestly I understand this, as someone with OCD and possibly Depression! I am all cheerful and happy and joking around other people and have fun and seem like I’m fine, but then deep down I’m not, I’m different when I’m alone and in my room
I love Dom and his Music. I am glad he is so open about his Mental Health. He a very sweet and kind person.
He is adorable I love the way he interacts with the audience the way he treats people I think he teaches the kids with issues and makes them feel it's ok to be different .. keep doing you Dominick you'll be ok too❤❤❤
Quite an extraordinary person
I'm old,so I'd never heard of him! Lol. Watched this and what a fascinating,complex bloke. Fair play to you 👏👏👏
hes not even hugely popular amongst young people either to be fair. hes not an A tier celebrity, far from it
He was on 'Nevermind the Buzzcocks' a year or so ago, and came across really, really well, so listened to some of his music. A very talented individual!
He's got s 'cult following '.
Adhd is a part of me too. you help so much. just take care of yourself
best interview so far. love yungblud's reaction!
I'm 66 years old and have just watched the whole interview, I love Yungbluds music takes me back to the 70s punk bands, I have seen a lot of his interviews and watched him live on RUclips, all he ever does is promote love and acceptance, from the comments on here it is mainly the younger generation who give him so much hate and misunderstanding, I get it you don't like him, then don't watch, carry on walking ☹
Whole interview? As it the full BBC iplayer of around an hour
Shame about when he exposed himself to Louis at the end of it
@@DigitalDaffodil Yes whole interview, why shame? it didn't bother Louis
@@W0rdsandMus1c when he exposed you didn’t see Louis’ reaction
And you don’t get to commit a crime and get away with it if the other person didn’t mind
@@DigitalDaffodil Sounds to me like you just shouldn't have watched it
@@W0rdsandMus1c how could I I’ve known that was going to happen at the end
He seems like a sweet boy 😊
i just want to hug him
I 2 have ADHD but it's only a deficit if your not interested in something, I hyper focus when I'm interested. So focused I seem unfocused lol. I think in pictures & pictures speak 1000 words depending on your Visual vocabulary/ boundaries of thought. I feel u young Blood ❤️
My memories are pictures and videos.
Reading this, I can't help but think of this as a gift. But of course, I don't mean to undermine your hardships in any way. I see how this can be problematic when you meet with something that doesn't interest you.
@Shtemby The Jerichoholic Yes, especially hard when others don't understand this challenge or believe it's even real. It's like telling a person with Parkinsons to stop shaking, It's a symptom others tend to misunderstand.
No, adhd kicks into focus when something is very stimulating... Hence thé stimulus drug
Watching this, I just want to give him a big hug 🥰🤗
I have adhd and it’s SO much more complex than the simple “adhd means you’re hyper and you can’t sit still and focus” like it is SO much more complicated that just that. Good on him for speaking about it to bring more awareness ❤
I was diagnosed at 30 at haven't a rare form bipolar which means my ups and downs are constant during the day. I was glad when I was diagnosed because I didn't understand why the medication I was given didn't work. I know how to say the disorder but can't spell it. Its something like psycho sin yia.
I had constant ups and downs when they diagnosed me at first for aprox 4-6 months. I couldn't do anything. All day up and down. It was the scariest and terrible place to be in.
Oxcarbazepine helped me and stabilased!
I am a musician to with adhd and music is my way to clear my head.
Writing songs is how I get it all out of my system.
Because I realy think adhd gives you a mask and because of that you don't express your true emotions.
You always play the person that fits the situation you are in at that moment..
But the ideas are endless and the creativity is always on.
His music at really helped me over the years ❤ so many people feel the way he does had has❤
I LOVE THIS GUY SO MUCH, FOR BEING TRUE TO HIMSELF! HIS MUSIC IS GREAT !❤
Bless u dom ur a freakin’ legend
Dom is so special 🖤 i love so much this man ❤️❤️❤️
Even tho I don't support Yungblud anymore I still respect him as a person 🫶
Why dont you support him?
He puts on a persona but he’s got a good heart
He's lovely.
Such a talented honest young man just love him ⭐️🎶❤️
Great interview
Never in one interview have I been so pleased, yet annoyed as well, Yungblud is a walking mood swing
Me too! Love you 🥰
Dominic u amazing I have depression u inspired me play better piano . And don’t care what people think about u😀😃
Adhd is a struggle. I have adhd and I struggle with it.
Side note: Just me or the interview guy was kind of rude
@@siennafoster8155 yeah just let him speak his mind dude
I have depression and anxiety but a lot of people dont realise….Because I’m also autistic and I am so damn good at masking
A lot of musicians have MH conditions, such as ADHD. Sam Fender has, too and look at the amazing talent he is! As is Yungblud and I'm a 41 year old woman, still, I appreciate both young mens music they bring to us 🇬🇧
Stop letting people diagnose you. You are a creative, bright, silly, energetic soul.
You’re a born artist. You’re human.
Keep that 🌞 bright!!!
The fear of being alone is avoidance. A calmer mind and lighter existence comes from the confrontation and acceptance of the shadow, the within, the beyond.
Beautiful guy
Thank you for sharing you and being you! Love
I can relate
I listen to Doing It Stealthy when I'm experiencing existential dread. It makes it worse but... I just can't stop.
I love him so much
Rumour has it that one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
As a Gemini ascendant it's a Tendency we carry, a desire to express & think of the Why, how & Y again. Humbled because we know what it feels like to be misunderstood.
My two favourites 🖤🖤🖤
I see him as a model, very good looking
Just luv Yungblud❤
Love you so much Dom xxx
It’s scary how much of this makes sense to me right now
breaks me heart seeing Dom like that.
Shame about when he exposed himself to Louis at the end of the documentary
@@DigitalDaffodil exposed himself how ??????
I love Yungblud
ADHD never comes as a single ‘issue’. Don’t burn both sides of the candle buddy 🌼
And Theroux should NOT pretend he doesn’t know what ADHD stands for. So disingenuous Louis. 🤷🏻♀️
Awesome loved it and I can relate to the issues , delete all the other vids lol so this one can stay😅
Let him talk, damn.
love & lights from Canada
Yubgblood is a cool dude. I wish him all the best.
so worried for him.
I love youuuuuuu
isnt this the interview he talks about in his song Hated?
How do we watch the documentary if we live in America?
That's funny because i have adhd and i always need to be ALONE because my thoughts are soooo exhausting, i don't have any energy left for anyone else lmao
I love u sos
Love the question, hate the interviewer - cmon now
adhd is a hard thing but think about the future ahead think positive treat your adhd
He looks exhausted:(
The thing is the most funny people are those with the most pain in many cases and struggle(d) with depression and many other issues. Because if you feel pain you want others to feel better. And that is the whole reason why many funny comedians like Jim Carrey, Robin Williams etc. were funny to the outside but struggle(d) with a lot of shit. And you can see this sadness in their eyes. So I do not thing it so difficult to believe that positive funny people are in many cases the total opposite inside.
Dominic creates so much good creative music But I also hope he can have some time off and just sleep and try to relax. The body and mind heal so much when we sleep.
So relatable
As someone with the same thing
Why is Louis Theroux interviewing Fairuza Balk?
I have adhd also
As someone who was diagnosed back in 2008 with adhd it always felt like it was aburden and that something is wromg with me..but more years pass by the more i learn how to weponise it cos thats what it rlly is its not bad its a really good weapon that if you learn how to control it it will benifit you massivly
What did you do to weaponise it? How do you learn to do that?
This constant interruption honestly stressed me out. Seriously what madness was this?
This interview was really confrontational. Why? Is this journalist always like this?
"really?" talk about being insensitive. I respect Dom for still being honest because no matter what you struggle with (myself included) you can help so many people struggling with the same thing by just being honest and making them feel like it's okay to be like this.
Jesus loves you, I do too, God bless
stop interrupting him!!
🖤
I met Oloff at a supermarket once and asked him ''How did you write Doing It Stealthy?'' he didn't answer, he was too busy paying for his asparagus.
