There is nothing stronger in someone's character than to confront and share their weaknesses. Stay strong Lana, you are helping others gaining strength through sharing their weaknesses.
Aww I love her singing at the end haha. You could tell she was uncomfortable to do it and it kinda made it a lil bit awkward, but her singing isn't that bad at all and it was adorable seeing her brave enough to sing in front of all of us.
I am religious, grew up in a christian home and it is such a blessing, for example when you have a problem and someone says '' I'll pray for you'' ❤ Lana, I will pray for you today! :)
You're a young, beautiful & intelligent (especially emotionally intelligent) woman, who's honest with herself. I am so proud of you for admitting all these things - I think it takes courage to say it out loud to yourself and your community. You go girl, missed your videos xx
This is how a group feels empowered. We the subscribers feel our miseries are being shared because some people choose to leave their comfort zone & be vulnerable. That's real good content!
Absolutely..all influencers been mostly doing is sh₹#t on ppl but if more n more content like this is created...which is just genuinely authentic ppl wud be helped immensely
I totally understand what you’re saying and feeling, Lana. I’m a guy, several years ago I used to have some thoughts on how my last romance had ended and if I was loved the way I loved that girl. For that case, the answer was “no”. But then I realized that even if we think that we’re loved “not enough” or “not the way we want”, like I first was thinking, it’s not necessarily because the other person was not serious/irresponsible etc. Everyone loves the way they can, and it may severely upset us, but everything is defined by our temper, psychological features, love languages, parents' love expression etc. So, for example, in a relationship I need hugs, and I would feel unloved in a situation when a potential partner doesn’t like it. Of course, it doesn’t mean that there are no people who use us, treat not seriously, but this realization made me feel easier after the heartbreak. There are many of us who feel lonely and have no love life at the moment, but it doesn't mean that we can't find anyone in the future or live our single life happily. Hugs for everyone and much love:)
Hahahaha Lana the song. So random, so good. Also, I feel lonely sometimes, too. Especially recently now that a lot of things are going well, I feel like something is missing from my life. And I think it's love
I have been in a rock bottom quite lately. Dealing with unusual levels of anxiety and suicidal thoughts. And also having to deal with the academic pressure of being the eldest, gifted kid. I can't talk to my parents or anyone else about it. And I constantly wonder if it will ever get better. But your videos help me calm down my panic attacks. Your voice, the way you articulate your thoughts, the setting, you, just everything, it has given me a ray of hope. It's 2:43 am here in India, and I can't sleep, although I have an exam to take tomorrow. So, I came here, and dear Lana, you instantly put a small smile on my face. Thanks
I felt you so much when you said "I dont know if anyone has loved me a I have loved them" this is something I struggle with too, as I feel things very deeply and sometimes it feels more so than others. Love your videos, they always bring comfort to me in times of stress. Keep doing what you're doing.
This is one of the truest statements about reality and existence. All life, in the purest sense, is the way in which the universe has come to express itself in a form capable of experiencing, learning and knowing itself if only in a tiny place for a short moment within itself, drifting in its own vastness of space and time. In this way all things are connected by an inextricable kinship. This is possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced, learned and came to know.
Can you really feel that the entire universe exists in you?? It sounds really nice, but It's not easy to feel this way, or it doesn't come natural to me.
@@MinahilFatima-hc2qw I think of it as a spark of the eternal. Some may view it in terms of an immortal soul, some may have a different understanding-but it’s something that exists within us and yet connects us to something so much larger than ourselves. I think the more we cultivate our inner virtues and break down the barriers between ourselves and whatever that spark is, the more brightly it shines from us. The more we focus on worldly things and our own ego, the more it’s obscured from view. It’s easy to think of it as a lantern and the light, where petty and trivial fixations cloud our lanterns and prevent the light from shining through. Anyway, with some people, it’s really easy to see that light. I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but that’s what I think of in the sense of the original statement: in you can be seen things that transcend the material. I hope you don’t mind me butting in, but I think about this stuff a lot.
@JamieAsareZiegler I know, it's true, but I don't feel it in me. Maybe I'm still stuck in worldly things. I wish I could also feel. Anyways, your writing is quite fascinating. Are you some poet or a writer??
Seeing this video gave me another level of comfort and first three things you talked about was like as if i was listening myself describing and thank you so much for sharing it means a lot
Thanks so much for opening up. I also have social anxiety it's getting a little bit better but it's still there, it haunts me the idea that I may have to deal with this forever, because of all the bullying and criticism that I got at High School 😔
Lana you made me smile and cry before I even finished my breakfast. I loved everything about this video, that you‘ve been so open and made me feel understood in many ways. You‘re the big sister I‘ve never had.
I'm so thankful Lana you decided to make this video, and we know it took so much bravery and courage to hit that public button. We your subscribers feel so empowered and it became a support group, watching this video, and that's why we love you Lana. You're the best creator of our generation. Love you, missed your videos
Awesome video, Lana! I like the impromptu style with your statements. As a fellow introvert, I can relate to a lot of what you are talking about. Keep being your awesome self, you are a treasure to the world. BTW, you have a great voice!
wow... this video nearly brought me to tears! Watching this video almost brought tears to my eyes. Your strength, grounded in vulnerability, shines through each time you clear your throat before speaking, reflects in your eyes that offer a glimpse into your soul, shows in the curl of your lip as you voice your inner world, and culminates in the jig of your shoulders and the resonance of your voice as you blessed us with your song.
Lanaaaa i loved your singing 💞💞💞 You know when you start to really know who is your family and i am on that level I’m trying to accept them as they are and accept my self as their daughter
I feel like in this video you step out of your comfort zone, you did something new. Being this vulnerable and perform this song it made the content so authentic and your face shine so bright. I feel the same way when I perform a dance or a moment. Thank you for sharing this! 🤍
Wow Lana! I've been following you for years now & I must say you've truly grown as a person! It takes huge amounts of courage to make a video like this! Genuinely respect you for it! Thank you for being vulnerable so beautifully ❤❤❤ PS: We all feel alone... Regardless single/ commited/ married
i am not happy to admit that i am emotionally unavailable due to a lack of confidence and realising this was incredibly hard, but worth it. Ps: watching your video is very helpful and your singing voice is amazing :)
Social anxiety has been my worst enemy throughout my youth, it made me very depressed as a teenager but now at 22 I can say it is only maybe 15% of what it used to be. So everyone that is struggling very hard with it now, I want to tell you it can get sooooo much better even though you can't imagine it. Just widen your comfort zone one little step at a time. But tbh sometimes you have to be uncomfortable even if it feels terrible... otherwise you probably won't get better.
I have been going through your videos since my high-school. That was the time when life started hitting hard and i I discovered your channel. That was a great help fo me. I can say its been 4 years with you lana I feel so relaxed confident and emotionally stable. Lots pf love to you sis ❤❤
I’m an introvert person and I struggle with social anxiety and maintaining friends. I also struggle with trusting myself and not feeling accomplished. I would love a video of your talking more about not trusting ourselves and not feeling accomplished.
I've been watching you for a while now and I don't ever comment on any videos (I guess my social anxiety runs through the screen), but today I feel so seen that I couldn't help it. Thank you Lana for being so vulnerable. You made a whole bunch of us feel extremely comprehended. Thanks again💛💛
Lana, thank you so much for being vulnerable, you made me think about these topics in my life and actually made me cry, I hope you get everything you dream of in life and life only gets better for you, you're the only RUclipsr I really care about and I would be so grateful if I had a friend like you, love you Lana!! ❤️
So brave to share all of this Lana and also it's so human! I think we all feel lonely at times (I do too). You're still so young, you have all the time in the world to experience love. It will come when it comes
To accept and open up about your worries and vulnerabilities, gives people the courage required to do the same. Not being cheesy, but you have kinda become my therapist.🤭☺️
Lana, I love your courage and relate to a lot of what you shared. Especially the one about loneliness- I’ve never been in a relationship. I will say, as a Christian, my relationship with God is the most precious thing and the solace I find in Jesus’ love for me is so comforting when I feel lonely. And yes, the community I have with fellow believers is a bond like no other, even across countries and cultures. I encourage you to keep asking questions and being curious, as I’m sure you can’t help but be :) I highly recommend the book Evidence that Demands a Verdict if you have questions about Christianity, although simply reading the Gospels is also a wonderful place to start :) Praying for you ❤️
aw i love your singing voice Lana! And thank you for being vulnerable here, it inspires me to be more open to my weaknesses and flaws. I realize that we definitely not a perfect person, and sometimes it can lift up a heavy burden in our chest when we're accepting that :)
You''re so brave, to talk about things you're embarrassed or insecure about! Ummm ... it's hard for me to admit that sometimes, I don't feel very much in touch with reality and life just feels like a book I'm reading or a movie I'm watching. Like I go through the motions, play the game, do things I enjoy, pray and believe sincerely, love deeply, act as a carer, simultaneously feeling distant and unattached. This feeling may be accentuated today by being unwell with a virus, which is why I will be brave enough to share it instead of deleting.
I always feel so comforted by your videos, especially this one! I just had my birthday and felt guilt at the kindness, love, and celebrations I received, as I didn't feel I deserved that, so watching this video where I realised others struggle with that really helped me! I think you're a beautiful soul and I always feel so inspired by your intelligence, wisdom, perspective, and awareness, thank you!!!! You have a GORGEOUS singing voice and I think your song should be played during all flights! :) xo
I’m so happy to see you again. I always look forward to listening to your wisdom every month. YOU ARE SO BRAVE AND YOU SING BEAUTIFULLY 🤍 Love you Lana!!!
Oh, I loved this episode Lana. There is always so much to relate to when it comes to your videos, but this one was one of the most honest and raw episodes. I loved the song and your voice, it's so calming, keep on singing for us, please ♥
I feel so seen Lana, I don´t know if anyone has ever told you this but your videos are a blessing to me. Thank you for what you do, thank you for being brave and showing yourself, real as you are, it´s refreshing and comforting to see there´s still some realness in social media these days, It´s comforting to also see myself and some of the struggles I´ve had in someone else and to know I´m not the only one that may feel like this, so thank you.
Your honesty is so refreshing. It’s part of what appeals to viewers. You are truly gorgeous inside & out. And your mom is right, you have a good voice. 🌸
Thank you for sharing these things... i can relate on so many things like social anxiety, loneliness and honestly kind of everything you said haha. It feels very comforting to know other people feel the same way and it is somehow normal and possible to cope with ♥
I just LOVE how your videos often come when I need them the most. Something embarrassing happened to me today and I felt kinda better seeing the title 🧡
Your videos always make me think. I have been following you for the past 4 years and you’ve played a great role in adding calmness into my life. ❤️ Throughout the course of my life, i’ve let my traumas stop me from having some strong bonds. They impacted the way I interacted with a lot of people and even made me lose people who could have potentially been some friends/acquaintances.
Feeling represented in every second of this video. I share literally every note with Lana. Especially the singing part. Keep it up, the ones who love you really appreciate this talent.
Thanks for your vulnerable powerful honesty Lana! Your videos move me, been following since your first. You have over a million people who adore you - next time you nitpick trust the many voices over the one, you can't be right all the time ;) The thing that embarrasses me is I talk and sing (not good) too myself all the time and when people in public look at me, I tell them - "yep talking too myself". P.S Great singing!
you are so right about the religion part because i am Muslim and my beliefs have gotten me through everything in life and i know without a doubt that they will in the future aswell no matter how bad life gets. Two core beliefs that help me through hardships are 1- as Allah said in the quran not once but twice side by side "verily, with hardships comes ease" "and with hardships comes ease" 2- this life is a test for the next life so whatever hardships come in life, i will be rewarded for them in the next so its all worth it.
i love pondering about suffering, the universe, and emotions. But like whats already known; the more understanding and wisdom we acquire, the lonelier we become. I think this is what you meant by "being not been loved by a man" for your soul looks for someone that can go down with your depth. Also, the challenges of being physically attractive is that living with the doubts of " Am I merely desired and wanted but not loved?
Lana, I love your channel and videos. I struggle with social anxiety too, and I'm realizing the purpose of my social anxiety journey is to share it with others and help them feel less alone. Your channel does this beautifully for so many people, thank you for sharing your story.
Sending you infinite compassion. You've gorgeous singing voice. I can relate to the part where you say you'v not been loved the way you love, and I'm assuming you mean (being a highly sensitive person and INFJ myself) the way you love so deeply and tenderly, loving someone to their core, and every inch and every part of their soul/existence, you've not been loved back like this. I feel you, in the same boat as you, lol.
I have been watching your videos since 2019 and I saw someone who was an introvert to do something that even the most extrovert people won't feel comfortable doing. You inspire me allot to look forward in life and I am sure I am not the only one. So keep going Lana
Hey hun, I love your channel been listening/watching for a few years. I have had very bad social anxiety before when I was in my 20’s I’ve just turned 30 now. I did some therapy with somatic healing techniques (EFT tapping), it helped me so much to heal my self love and esteem and I’m sooo much more compassionate with myself now. I think it will help you with all of these things that are upsetting you. It’s even helped me find my singing voice now 🙂 You are very awesome you just need to see it yourself 🙂 and you will. So much love don’t let the angsty thoughts in too far 💗💗💗
Lana, for the 1st time in 3 years you made me choke up. I just wanna say I'm proud of you & I hope our collect hugs brightens up your day when you need it Also, thanks for sharing your beautiful singing voice.
This video has a lot in common with my own experience, especially when it comes to social anxiety. For so many years I've lied to those close to me about so many things, ‘politely refusing’ anything I've been offered out of fear of interacting with strangers. Today I'm slowly but surely moving in the right direction! I love your content, thank you for the videos, I think they help quite a few people, myself included! ! ;)
This video, Lana, made me cry. It felt like someone was doing me a favor by saying things I cannot speak out to the world. I agree with your mom; she's right. You have a beautiful voice. Thanks for sharing it with the world.
Last part was especially courageous to me. Singing alone for others used to be something I was always ashamed to do, I am also the kind of person that sings all the time but you know, “for fun” so whenever I had to sing smth for real I was always very scared. I am in an acting school so I had to break that fear, even tho it’s still in me I def made some progress. I could see u break through that comfort zone as if it was glass, you did it! U didn’t have to, you could have just deleted that part or not prove anything but you decided to make us a kind of people you feel comfortable around and be vulnerable. Thank you for that. I love this video and so glad that you’re back!! Loveeee
the first half of video is like I'm listnening to my own weaknesses (social anxiety, loneliness, feeling unaccomplished) from someone else out loud, it is a strange feeling
Also, oh my goodness!!! Lana your voice is AMAZING! Like it’s so soothing to listen to when you just talk, but your singing voice has got some power and jazz and is so so pretty as well! You go girl!👏🏼🥰
Hello Lana. Your content makes me feel better about myself. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Thanks for your braveness, honesty, and transparency, Lana. The world, and the internet, need more people doing what you do, and being how you are. I hope you get so much more of what you give because you deserve every bit of it.
Whoa Lana! Thank u for this fr! We NEED social media influencers like u to help ppl n not to exploit them... u r a beautiful person in true sense.. be blessed!
I randomly stumbled upon your channel tonight , and I want to tell you a big thank you.thank you for making this video. This video has helped me realize that these struggles are normal and I am not alone, and I really appreciate it ❤ P.S. Love the singing at the end, you have an amazing voice 😊
I’m glad you’re back! I recently graduated and I relate to a lot of the things you talk about in this video. Something I’m not happy to admit about myself is I feel like I played it safe too much in the past and didn’t really consider what I wanted in the future
This might be one of my favorite videos of yours! I am just sitting here smiling because you did something out of your comfort zone which is really inspiring to me. Second channel for music covers when? :D
This video seems so authentic ❤ whenever i feel anxious i watch your videos to feel safe and warm whenever i feel anything i watch your videos it gives me a lot of comfort.. l need a more of Lana ❤
Dear Lana, I really hope you read this. This is such a vulnerable and honest video to put out, and even just visually, you put so much effort into it, and it shows. It's surprising to hear you admitting to nitpicking your appearance when you're so beautiful, although your explanation is very relatable. I'm even more surprised that you struggle with feeling like u accomplished smt. I really admire you for your courage to leave your stable "mainstream" job and try smt new, for so successfully forging your own independent path to a more fulfilling career and life. I can also relate to your envy of religious people... to believe in a benevolent God who is watching out for you must be so incredibly calming. Also, you've sung a bit in some videos before and you have such a good singing voice, I really think you have talent - honestly I think you could release some good songs if you pursued this more seriously :) Wishing you all the best
You are one of my RUclipsrs elite list. The ones who are beautiful inside and out. Even though I am able to know you through your uploads. I believe you are genuine and may you continue to be true to yourself. And the truth is, this life is temporary and is loaned only to us by our Lord and saviour. YOU ARE LOVED.
I really hope you’re celebrating putting this out there! Especially the last one. Well done and your mother was right so I hope you keep embracing your voice and putting it out there :)
I am so glad I found your amazing channel last year, every single video of yours has inspired me in so many ways 🩷 You are such an elegant and well-spoken woman, I wish to become like you! Btw your singing is nice :)🌸
Sending a hug to someone who is so brave to admit things most of us are too embarrassed to reveal. We love your vulnerability. Thank you. God bless and Jesus loves you ❤❤❤
Can relate. I have hyper independence after years of solitude stemming from high school. I try to connect but I find it weird sometimes. I do cope with loneliness and feel lonely but I have gotten better at managing it.
I missed you guys so much hiiiii
❤
love you dear❤❤❤
We missed you too.. 😢
Me too.
Me too , take all the time u need , no rush at all dear ❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is nothing stronger in someone's character than to confront and share their weaknesses.
Stay strong Lana, you are helping others gaining strength through sharing their weaknesses.
💯 🙏

Lol and the way I sang it on the flight, I took it SO seriously like I was rehearsing for a talent show. Yes we all need love indeed x
You are an authentic genuine calm soul. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability. It takes courage to do so
Thank you so much
I have been in a rock bottom quite lately. Dealing with unusual levels of anxiety and suicidal thoughts. And also having to deal with the academic pressure of being the eldest, gifted kid. I can't talk to my parents or anyone else about it. And I constantly wonder if it will ever get better.

Keep going !!! Things truly do get better, even when it all feels hopeless. I’m rooting for you ❤
relate to you so badly, hope everyone going through hard times may learn to get back stronger
You are not an annoying person if you sing all the time, please be proud you give time to the things that make you happy
aw! :)
I felt you so much when you said "I dont know if anyone has loved me a I have loved them" this is something I struggle with too, as I feel things very deeply and sometimes it feels more so than others.

Don't feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.

This is one of the truest statements about reality and existence. All life, in the purest sense, is the way in which the universe has come to express itself in a form capable of experiencing, learning and knowing itself if only in a tiny place for a short moment within itself, drifting in its own vastness of space and time. In this way all things are connected by an inextricable kinship. This is possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced, learned and came to know.

Your videos are like a therapy to me. They're so healing. Really admire you for your calm and elegant personality.

OMG the part about editing your videos and seeing your own face and hearing your own voice all day, every day 😅 That one got to me.
The way she Speaks ❤. No words to explain...!
Lana, thank you so much for being vulnerable, you made me think about these topics in my life and actually made me cry, I hope you get everything you dream of in life and life only gets better for you, you're the only RUclipsr I really care about and I would be so grateful if I had a friend like you, love you Lana!! ❤️

So brave to share all of this Lana and also it's so human! I think we all feel lonely at times (I do too). You're still so young, you have all the time in the world to experience love. It will come when it comes
This video is so relatable and comforting. Thanks for sharing your experiences with such honesty. You're amazing for being so open...❤️✨️
Loved the video, and btw gotta say your singing voice is so cute!
To accept and open up about your worries and vulnerabilities, gives people the courage required to do the same. Not being cheesy, but you have kinda become my therapist.🤭☺️
Literally love you for being so vulnerable & real , a gem
I was recently procrastinating through my life and my father told me, "Don't live in the mirror."
I can't tell you how hard that hit me.
Lana, I love your courage and relate to a lot of what you shared. Especially the one about loneliness- I’ve never been in a relationship. I will say, as a Christian, my relationship with God is the most precious thing and the solace I find in Jesus’ love for me is so comforting when I feel lonely. And yes, the community I have with fellow believers is a bond like no other, even across countries and cultures. I encourage you to keep asking questions and being curious, as I’m sure you can’t help but be :) I highly recommend the book Evidence that Demands a Verdict if you have questions about Christianity, although simply reading the Gospels is also a wonderful place to start :) Praying for you ❤️
I like Lana's singing voice and given the content on her channel, she might have a talent for writing lyrics.
I love this raw nature of the video Lana ! I think many of us are right there with you !
aw i love your singing voice Lana! And thank you for being vulnerable here, it inspires me to be more open to my weaknesses and flaws. I realize that we definitely not a perfect person, and sometimes it can lift up a heavy burden in our chest when we're accepting that :)
You''re so brave, to talk about things you're embarrassed or insecure about! Ummm ... it's hard for me to admit that sometimes, I don't feel very much in touch with reality and life just feels like a book I'm reading or a movie I'm watching. Like I go through the motions, play the game, do things I enjoy, pray and believe sincerely, love deeply, act as a carer, simultaneously feeling distant and unattached. This feeling may be accentuated today by being unwell with a virus, which is why I will be brave enough to share it instead of deleting.
hey lana, it’s late here and i was feeling quite anxious and whenever i do, your channel helps me a lot. thank you, you’re such a sweet soul 💗💗💗
I always feel so comforted by your videos, especially this one! I just had my birthday and felt guilt at the kindness, love, and celebrations I received, as I didn't feel I deserved that, so watching this video where I realised others struggle with that really helped me! I think you're a beautiful soul and I always feel so inspired by your intelligence, wisdom, perspective, and awareness, thank you!!!! You have a GORGEOUS singing voice and I think your song should be played during all flights! :) xo
I’m so happy to see you again. I always look forward to listening to your wisdom every month. YOU ARE SO BRAVE AND YOU SING BEAUTIFULLY 🤍 Love you Lana!!!
Oh, I loved this episode Lana. There is always so much to relate to when it comes to your videos, but this one was one of the most honest and raw episodes. I loved the song and your voice, it's so calming, keep on singing for us, please ♥
I feel so seen Lana, I don´t know if anyone has ever told you this but your videos are a blessing to me. Thank you for what you do, thank you for being brave and showing yourself, real as you are, it´s refreshing and comforting to see there´s still some realness in social media these days, It´s comforting to also see myself and some of the struggles I´ve had in someone else and to know I´m not the only one that may feel like this, so thank you.
Your honesty is so refreshing. It’s part of what appeals to viewers. You are truly gorgeous inside & out. And your mom is right, you have a good voice. 🌸
Thank you for sharing these things... i can relate on so many things like social anxiety, loneliness and honestly kind of everything you said haha. It feels very comforting to know other people feel the same way and it is somehow normal and possible to cope with ♥
I just LOVE how your videos often come when I need them the most. Something embarrassing happened to me today and I felt kinda better seeing the title 🧡
Your videos always make me think. I have been following you for the past 4 years and you’ve played a great role in adding calmness into my life. ❤️
Throughout the course of my life, i’ve let my traumas stop me from having some strong bonds. They impacted the way I interacted with a lot of people and even made me lose people who could have potentially been some friends/acquaintances.
Feeling represented in every second of this video.
I share literally every note with Lana. Especially the singing part. Keep it up, the ones who love you really appreciate this talent.
Thanks for your vulnerable powerful honesty Lana! Your videos move me, been following since your first. You have over a million people who adore you - next time you nitpick trust the many voices over the one, you can't be right all the time ;) The thing that embarrasses me is I talk and sing (not good) too myself all the time and when people in public look at me, I tell them - "yep talking too myself". P.S Great singing!
Thank you so much !!
you are so right about the religion part because i am Muslim and my beliefs have gotten me through everything in life and i know without a doubt that they will in the future aswell no matter how bad life gets. Two core beliefs that help me through hardships are
1- as Allah said in the quran not once but twice side by side "verily, with hardships comes ease" "and with hardships comes ease"
2- this life is a test for the next life so whatever hardships come in life, i will be rewarded for them in the next so its all worth it.
Thank you for being so real❤️ We need more people to show these sides of themselves in a world that feels so fake sometimes
LANA PLEASE NEVER STOP SINGING ! ♥️☀️
I really really enjoyed your voice. Looping the last minute for the 32th time.
i love pondering about suffering, the universe, and emotions. But like whats already known; the more understanding and wisdom we acquire, the lonelier we become. I think this is what you meant by "being not been loved by a man" for your soul looks for someone that can go down with your depth. Also, the challenges of being physically attractive is that living with the doubts of " Am I merely desired and wanted but not loved?
Lana, I love your channel and videos. I struggle with social anxiety too, and I'm realizing the purpose of my social anxiety journey is to share it with others and help them feel less alone. Your channel does this beautifully for so many people, thank you for sharing your story.
Love it❤️ Greetings from Paraguay 🇵🇾 you helped me a lot back in 2020 when I was through depression 🙏🦋
Sending you infinite compassion. You've gorgeous singing voice.
I can relate to the part where you say you'v not been loved the way you love, and I'm assuming you mean (being a highly sensitive person and INFJ myself) the way you love so deeply and tenderly, loving someone to their core, and every inch and every part of their soul/existence, you've not been loved back like this. I feel you, in the same boat as you, lol.
I have been watching your videos since 2019 and I saw someone who was an introvert to do something that even the most extrovert people won't feel comfortable doing. You inspire me allot to look forward in life and I am sure I am not the only one. So keep going Lana
Lana, as someone who relates to most of what you said, your honesty in this video was very comforting and encouraging for me. ❤
Hey hun, I love your channel been listening/watching for a few years.
I have had very bad social anxiety before when I was in my 20’s I’ve just turned 30 now. I did some therapy with somatic healing techniques (EFT tapping), it helped me so much to heal my self love and esteem and I’m sooo much more compassionate with myself now.
I think it will help you with all of these things that are upsetting you. It’s even helped me find my singing voice now 🙂
You are very awesome you just need to see it yourself 🙂 and you will. So much love don’t let the angsty thoughts in too far 💗💗💗
Lana, for the 1st time in 3 years you made me choke up. I just wanna say I'm proud of you & I hope our collect hugs brightens up your day when you need it
Also, thanks for sharing your beautiful singing voice.
This video has a lot in common with my own experience, especially when it comes to social anxiety. For so many years I've lied to those close to me about so many things, ‘politely refusing’ anything I've been offered out of fear of interacting with strangers. Today I'm slowly but surely moving in the right direction! I love your content, thank you for the videos, I think they help quite a few people, myself included! ! ;)
This video, Lana, made me cry. It felt like someone was doing me a favor by saying things I cannot speak out to the world. I agree with your mom; she's right. You have a beautiful voice. Thanks for sharing it with the world.
Last part was especially courageous to me. Singing alone for others used to be something I was always ashamed to do, I am also the kind of person that sings all the time but you know, “for fun” so whenever I had to sing smth for real I was always very scared. I am in an acting school so I had to break that fear, even tho it’s still in me I def made some progress. I could see u break through that comfort zone as if it was glass, you did it! U didn’t have to, you could have just deleted that part or not prove anything but you decided to make us a kind of people you feel comfortable around and be vulnerable. Thank you for that. I love this video and so glad that you’re back!! Loveeee
the first half of video is like I'm listnening to my own weaknesses (social anxiety, loneliness, feeling unaccomplished) from someone else out loud, it is a strange feeling
Also, oh my goodness!!! Lana your voice is AMAZING! Like it’s so soothing to listen to when you just talk, but your singing voice has got some power and jazz and is so so pretty as well! You go girl!👏🏼🥰
Hello Lana.
Your content makes me feel better about myself. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
Thanks for your braveness, honesty, and transparency, Lana. The world, and the internet, need more people doing what you do, and being how you are.
I hope you get so much more of what you give because you deserve every bit of it.
Singing and music in general are of the fundamental joys life.
What would we do without it
@@LanaBlakely Whistle more, maybe?
Whoa Lana! Thank u for this fr! We NEED social media influencers like u to help ppl n not to exploit them... u r a beautiful person in true sense.. be blessed!
I relate so much with being envious of religious people, I’ve realised that I need the foundation and grounding that comes with it.
We have so many things in common, I also love to sing with the people I'm comfortable with, but I don't really sing as well as you! ❤
I randomly stumbled upon your channel tonight , and I want to tell you a big thank you.thank you for making this video. This video has helped me realize that these struggles are normal and I am not alone, and I really appreciate it ❤
P.S. Love the singing at the end, you have an amazing voice 😊
I’m glad you’re back! I recently graduated and I relate to a lot of the things you talk about in this video. Something I’m not happy to admit about myself is I feel like I played it safe too much in the past and didn’t really consider what I wanted in the future
This might be one of my favorite videos of yours! I am just sitting here smiling because you did something out of your comfort zone which is really inspiring to me. Second channel for music covers when? :D
This video seems so authentic ❤ whenever i feel anxious i watch your videos to feel safe and warm whenever i feel anything i watch your videos it gives me a lot of comfort.. l need a more of Lana ❤
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability. You inspire me, and many others to do the same.
Every time you upload, I feel a sense of safety, I feel warm and happy. You have such a gift Lana. Thank you 🙏 ❤
Saving this comment for whenever I feel discouraged. Thank you
@@LanaBlakely 🥰
This might be my favorite video of yours❤
Considering it's a very vulnerable video for me, this means so much. Thank you
mine too, and the videos to watch when you feel down :D
Dear Lana, I really hope you read this. This is such a vulnerable and honest video to put out, and even just visually, you put so much effort into it, and it shows. It's surprising to hear you admitting to nitpicking your appearance when you're so beautiful, although your explanation is very relatable. I'm even more surprised that you struggle with feeling like u accomplished smt. I really admire you for your courage to leave your stable "mainstream" job and try smt new, for so successfully forging your own independent path to a more fulfilling career and life.
I can also relate to your envy of religious people... to believe in a benevolent God who is watching out for you must be so incredibly calming.
Also, you've sung a bit in some videos before and you have such a good singing voice, I really think you have talent - honestly I think you could release some good songs if you pursued this more seriously :)
Wishing you all the best
You are one of my RUclipsrs elite list. The ones who are beautiful inside and out. Even though I am able to know you through your uploads. I believe you are genuine and may you continue to be true to yourself. And the truth is, this life is temporary and is loaned only to us by our Lord and saviour. YOU ARE LOVED.
I always told you that you have a wonderful voice... and finally you can sing yeah!!!
Thank you !!!
I really hope you’re celebrating putting this out there! Especially the last one. Well done and your mother was right so I hope you keep embracing your voice and putting it out there :)
I liked the concept of this video and the singing part was sweet. ❤
I am so glad I found your amazing channel last year, every single video of yours has inspired me in so many ways 🩷 You are such an elegant and well-spoken woman, I wish to become like you! Btw your singing is nice :)🌸
i can literally relate so much to you! hope everyone suffering with these gets through & accomplish their dreams!
Sending a hug to someone who is so brave to admit things most of us are too embarrassed to reveal. We love your vulnerability. Thank you. God bless and Jesus loves you ❤❤❤
Proud of you and I feel lucky to have watch this video!!! ❤
Can relate. I have hyper independence after years of solitude stemming from high school. I try to connect but I find it weird sometimes. I do cope with loneliness and feel lonely but I have gotten better at managing it.
