one day i discovered that social media was the root of my insecurities and depression. i deleted all of it besides youtube for a while and it has made me so much happier. also trying to realize that these "famous" people don't live perfect lives after all and we just see what they want us to see. that's what gives us this skewed perception of what we are "supposed to look like" or what life should look like in order for us to be happy when that isn't true. beauty and life shouldn't be cookie cutter like it is on social media and that bugs me. i personally think you are not like that but a lot of people and their social media are
I literally put your videos on every time I'm about to do homework because every time I watch your videos I'm like "LETS DO THIS" and boom, I do homework lmao
this isn't on the internet. but at school im expected to be happy and postive, but if im not happy people are mad at me for not being "myself" so much family things are going on but i have to pretend like everythings ok and its not fun
art chickener slowly expose your classmates to sarcasm and dark humour and then maybe occasionally complain about hard classes with them and people will expect you to be super happy less
Chummy Nummy hey yeah I know exactly what that's like... it's hard to be positive when the people closest to you are going through problems and ur involved in it... so far what I've done is that, it may sound weird, but I have one friend that I rant to and I have another friend who I see as a role model. I try to remind myself of who I want to be I the future and I work!!! Its not just hard right? In the end you feel empty and almost useless because you can't do anything about the situation. But school is a different environment, and home is a different environment so try to separate your feelings from ur schoolwork and ur issues... we all go thru diff types of issues and some u won't ever really get over because they have impacted u so much, but try ur hardest to stay on track and believe in urself ❤❤❤
Wednesdays will now be my favorite day of the week. I shall make a tea every time I get the notification. (: I also believe "perfectionism" is something people try to rely on too much. They're obsessed with the idea of being perfect that they forget the difference between a good person and a bad person. They make themselves seem bad; stressed out and surperior to their peers. Living your life 100% positive will not prepare you for what's to come and you may end up getting hurt badly if something does happen. What makes a good person is the positive impact you leave on people, whether it's inspirational, or it was that you've helped the person in need, or maybe was it that you made them smile? What makes a good person is the way you take things into your own hands. You can either do it right with mistakes and your beautiful flaws, or do it wrong and obsess yourself with being someone who you can't be.
i really needed this. i've realised that i compare myself to everyone and it's a major cause of my anxiety. makes me feel like shit. i don't think i will ever be able to stop but this really helped me put things into perspective :)
Sarah Santiago I agree with you too, conan you could film yourself drawing (just the drawing) and you speed it up like a speed drawing or speed painting if you want, and you could either record your voice talking or film yourself talking and edit that in the corner ^^
3 years later and I'm still enjoying all your videos, that is sooooo nice and I just feel so good to have you to accompany me to grow up. THANK YOU!!!!
this is just what i needed rn... I go to a school in nyc with insanely talented peers... their accomplishments range from being recruited to play for college teams as sophomores, to being interviewed by cbs news to discuss politics, to winning prestigious art shows. it's easy to feel insufficient and it's so nice to have someone i look up to prove that "perfection" isn't often what it seems. thank you conan
No ones a perfect human!! And that’s okay!!! I don’t hate myself cause I’m not like you! But I want to be like you! You inspire my life so much, and these videos even rewatching them years later they still make my day better!!
i have really bad anxiety and i struggle to leave the house alot of the time, but when i see you out having fun with your friends it makes me want to get out! you have helped alot of people Conan probably without knowing too and alot of us look up to you. You may think your not perfect but everyone is in their own way.
Oh my freaking gosh..you painted that Gravity Falls mug!? ahhh, I was going to ask where you got it from...that show is the absolute BEST! Mabel is my spirit animal. What a lovely mug, for a lovely human.
you pouring a bunch of honey in your tea and then pouring more reminds me of myself! haha back when i first started drinking tea i would borderline pour more honey than there was water in my mug lmao! but then i found the most magical and delicious honey ever: y.s. eco bee farms raw honey! omfg i swear (if u haven't already tried it) it'll blow your mind! your fave teas will come to life I SWEAR TO FUCK. and it's only like $6 on vitacost. i swear i'm not a vitacost robot trying to sell you shit. i'm just a smol honey/tea nerd trying to bless ppls lives. 😭☕️🍯💓
It's funny. Sometimes you find the videos and hear the words you need to hear the most when you least expect it. And I think that's really cool about the internet. Especially these vlogs by Conan.
the drawing looks beautifull and i really like his videos cause he doesn't hide the real him, like he says when things aren't well and that is okay cause we all have those days
i just found your videos and you have the best personality and your art is AMAZING i know thats such a cliche comment but as a 14 year old kindartistitscomplicated who really wants to just fucking draw for me and no one or anything else, you honestly inspire me and help so much. I dont want to get super ranty but i have pretty bad anxiety and OCD and art just sometimes feels like an obligation. Like i find myself doing art on a schedule (like ill do one piece every weekend) and if i break the schedule ill just be filled with anxiety. I worry that ill lose whatever artistic ability i have if i dont do any art for a while but it just stopped having any positive effects on my life. Im not saying i dont want to create art because i do, I really do, but i realize its kind of unhealthy to be chained by these rules i make for myself especially with something thats supposed to be a creative and calming release. Its so draining and I honestly hate it but I just can't seem to break the cycle I lock myself in. Does anyone relate to this or has gone through something similar? Thank you!
nolie blue you don't have to feel bad about writing a long comment, I like to read and you have the right to express everything you want to. I know the human experience varies but I have to say that I relate to your comment a lot. what had happened to me was that I was really depressed at one point (even more than now, it's much better now) and when I was depressed I had lost interest in school and learning and I used to love it. it almost felt powerful to know and shout out the answers in class all of the time (which may have been annoying to my classmates in retrospect but anyway, learning is cool). then, when I was about 14, something happened to me. I'll describe it like this: my heart and brain were two glass containers and they just fell on the floor and shattered. I started to feel really, really tired all of the time, and I dreaded going to school (but not going wasn't really an option either to my parents). my family put a lot of pressure on me to perform because I was supposed to be the 'smart one', and I could barely hold a c average because I hardly ever turned in assignments. I used to love to read and write stories before my heart broke, and after, it was a chore. a couple of years ago, a good friend of mine asked me to write some poems and I said I would, and then I never really talked to her again. I just couldn't finish them until recently. I used to write them all of the time, but then it felt like work. it was difficult, and everytime I'd try to write a poem, I'd feel like I was milking my brain for thoughts that weren't there. I'll be 19 in a month and have been going to University for two years now, and it's still been a rough road. but I learned things that made it easier. for one thing, you can't be two hard on yourself when you don't meet goals. at least, not so hard on yourself that you almost feel discouraged. you have to set goals, not expectations, take the time to appreciate yourself and the world, and do kindnesses for others. there are so many other things I could talk about that I've learned/could contribute to those feelings. try to get motivated to do art and draw whenever you get the inspiration. maybe keep a pen when you are feeling any emotion and write down how you feel as best as you can, to inspire you later. I hope you feel better soon if you aren't already
Rainbow Life thank you so much for your reply! Tbh i actually kind of forgot about this comment but im really glad i found it again because im actually doing so much better, its kind of insane. Im just doing whatever I want and ive improved my skills a lot.
Rainbow Life Rainbow Life And thank you so so much for sharing your experience. I can really relate to what youre saying about milking your brain for thoughts that werent there also. Like sometimes i would just sit down to draw, and it would almost feel like the wires in my brain werent connecting and I just couldnt do it. It was also really frustrating because it just felt like no one got it, you know? Like i would tell my parents i was being to hard on myself and they would say "its ok sweetie, just go easy on yourself." or i would say i was anxious and felt sick and they would say "its alright, just relax." which was frustrating because i was telling them my problem and their advice was just.. dont have the problem? like I really appreciate them listening but that didnt help me. Also even though i follow a lot of social media accounts and read books dedicated to mental illnesses, i couldnt find a single post that really described what I was feeling. I know i have anxiety and show symptoms for it, and I was told by a therapist that I had OCD, but even reading about those illnesses I didnt see what I was experiencing described. I felt, and still feel, completely alone at times and its difficult. Recently ive been feeling insanely tired and sometimes i still feel that awful apathy of just not wanting to draw or do anything. Like i said before, I am doing wildly better on the art front, but with school and life and all that jazz it still feels like every day is a struggle. I also relate to what you said about being pressured about school. Im an honors student, but for the last few months Ive been getting pretty bad grades. Which is my fault, because i just dont do assignments. Like i have the paper in front of me and I have a pencil but i just.. dont want to. And i know no one really wants to do some assignments but still something is making you do it, whether it be fear of failure or motivation or whatever. I didnt have that. It was so confusing and I still dont really understand, but i am doing better and pulling my grades up. So, really, thank you so so much for replying to my comment. I know now that there is at least one other person who has experienced what i have and made it out ok. I know Im not alone. I have been doing a lot better with everything in the past few weeks, but i know Im not out of the woods yet.
oh whats up my dude I only "discovered" your channel 2 days ago and already binge watched most of your videos, so keep doing you man you're like so different yet so relatable. to sum things up you're a very interesting guy and I love your content ok I'm done with the support for today have a nice one lol I'm gonna watch your vid now bye
everytime i need motivation, or need to be cheered up from the stress of uni or work i come to watch your videos. thank you for being so you, and always talking about things that matter
Conan, the reason why you're my favorite person is because you're so imperfect and you, it literally makes you the most '"perfect" person. I love you so much!
It's always comforting to know that you're never the only one that has negative thoughts and that you're not the only one who does bad things. Hearing this from such an influencer like you was great❤❤
I never used to care about how perfect I looked on social media. I would literally post whatever relatable content I wanted to but now bc I get picked on for not posting “normal” content (eg selfies and holiday photos) I feel like there’s more pressure for me to post that kind of stuff to make other people happy. I definitely needed this video bc I feel like I’ve started becoming really dependent on social media to the point where it is unhealthy. Conan I hope you start posting these types of videos again I love them. They’re kind of therapeutic with the art and just everything about them is calming x
Conan. I've just discovered you rather recently and I absolutely love your videos. Lately I've been going through some hard times socially, but when I get home I come and watch your videos, usually binge watching them, and I just feel so much happier. You are a light, you give happiness to people. And I want to just have you know you have brought so much happiness and help to so many people. Lots of love.
I think that when I see people with "perfect lives" it just makes me want to persevere and work harder to accomplish my goals and get to where I want to be in life. I stumbled across your videos a few days ago and that is exactly what your videos do for me. the second I started watching your videos I have just been so eager to accomplish things.
i usually find these types of videos boring but theres just something calming about you and your voice and you just being interesting in general that doesn't let me get bored
Youre videos are entertaining but they definitely make me slightly jealous, even though i know that your life isn't perfect, at least u have great friends and fun things to do compared to me just staying at home
Awww I love you Conan. Whenever I watch your videos it brightens up my day. Please don't change for anyone, you're so amazing, wonderful, and beautiful just as you are. Have a nice day and keep making your great videos. Thank you💛.
Maybe you can do a time lapse of the drawing then do a voice over on the topic you want to talk about! :) That way we can also see the process of your sketches.
you're videos make me so happy and I totally agree that being always positive can make people look down on themselves, but I think the majority being positive on the channel is good
HIII OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION FOR EVERYTHING AND I GET HAPPY WHEN YOU POST I KNOW THAT'S CREEPY TMI BUT WHO CARES GODAMMIT LOVE FROM THE UK XOXOXOXOXO
I love you so much, and seeing you and your "perfect" life doesn't make me hate myself, it makes me want to improve myself. You are my inspiration and I'm so glad I found your channel
You are soooooo cool! I recently discovered your channel and I have already watched some your vlogs and other videos for several times 😂. You really inspire me with your art , clothing style and your character. I wish I had a friend like you😂! (And you motivated me to play the guitar 🎸 again ! )Have a nice day/ morning / evening whatever 😂. Greetings from Germany 💕☺️!
I think that showing to the world only the positive things is wrong. I know that I've been struggling with loving myself because I'm not "perfect", and there really aren't many people on social media (or celebrities) that talk about bad days or other "imperfections". Thank you for this video! ❤️ This is something if been thinking a lot about. I love your channel because you're real. You're showing positive sides in your life, and not ignoring the negative ones. Thank you for talking about this 💕💕
I loved this so much. I legit made a tea and got my sketchbook out to art-tea along with you! As for perfection, I think there's a difference between being positive and being "perfect." Positivity is a mindset and does not depend on the part of you that you share on the internet. Perfection is putting on a fake persona by disregarding hardships and lying. You do not disregard hardships, you seem to just keep that part private-which is totally fine! Everyone (especially on social media) should keep some of their life private, but that does not make you fake. You are being true in what you share, but you don't have to share everything to avoid perfection. I think this idea of perfection stems from viewers' perspectives. We have been conditioned to know everything about people's lives through the normalization of social media and the romanticization of reality tv. I think as long as the part of you that you show to the world is true, you will never be fake perfect. If you decide to put more of yourself out onto this platform-even the hardships-it won't become more honest or real. You ARE honest and real without the hardships. But if you want to put more of yourself out into the RUclips sphere, then it should come from yourself not from the judgement of others (of yourself, or of themselves through you!). It is truly a difficult time to be a teen/young adult on social media. If you want to share more of your life, you should not fear that your channel will become a negative place. Like I said before, positivity is a mindset, and even if you show hardships, I know this channel will still be a welcoming and helpful place. Look at Dodie! She does talk about her hardships, yet she is still a positive influence on her viewers! I believe that you can (if you feel comfortable) share more and still be positive/have a positive channel.
If talking and writing is to hard at the same time, you could follow a similar format to a person called Chloe (scarfdemon on RUclips) where she does paintings and then talks about something over the top of it, I don't know is simply an idea
At the start of the video when he said he was gonna draw + talk at the same time I was like lol have fun with that !! but I really like this style he's trying out. maybe the camera could be at angle that we can still see him + what he's drawing but to make it easier for him to concentrate have the voiceover?
Anaa Adrienne you probably just have a short attention span like me 💗 but I find it easiest to just sit down and work if I'm listening to music that I already know all the words to and love whist sitting at a comfy area that I'm familiar with. Hope this helped 😘
I learned that others ways of doing something might not work for me so I actually watch a vid or show if it's something like math hw or drawing, & listen to music for stuff like writing assignments and things that need more of my concentration. But if there's nothing my mind goes every which way and I can never concentrate.
Inspiration comes and goes. When it comes it is absolutely wonderful, but when it leaves it is so incredibly difficult to pick up a pencil/pen/camera/otherartsupply. The one thing that is important is to just work when this happens. Put on a lovely playlist, grab your art of choice and work. It doesn't matter if it is absolute garbage and you absolutely despise it (everyone makes work they hate, it's normal). What is important is that you keep working. Look up a prompt, use a random word generator, make something totally abstract, it doesnt matter as long as you keep creating because by doing that eventually something will come to you and you'll find motivation to work.
its really nice of you to talk about this because obviously no one is ever perfect. i think internally, everyone is aware of it but whatever we see on the internet (the positives) and the language of narration makes it sound brighter. the perception of perfection is different for different people and what people compare it with is what their feelings are. they might be satisfied with themselves but the tier which is higher seems much more admirable which might lead to negative feelings. also some people are just "sad". with that being said; this vid was a great idea, if you liked making it then please continue. your voice is v nice and calming so i dont really mind anything you do in it (since i have a tendency to zone out) cause your presence makes everyone on your channel happy. i know you are not perfect but you are kind and friendly. sometimes thats all what people need.
Practice makes permanent ^^ not perfect :)) And even though we make mistakes, they aren't mistakes.. just happy accidents~ If yknow who that's from u get a kookie
Kat Do I've been thinking about your comment, and I really think that the reason why he called them "happy accidents" is because we always learn something from them and try to not do the same "happy accident" again. And when we don't do the same because of what we have learned we are happy because it turns out better. We progress.
i think people should express themselves more on social media. the fact that people use social media to be them selves helps me believe that the viewers should be able to see the different sides of a person and not just all the good. nobody is perfect and everyone has bad days or has a day where they want to vent or rant and they should do that with their viewers and help the viewers to get to know them. My opinion on people putting themselves down because they wish they were perfect or lived like a certain celebrity or well known person is that this occurs due to these people only posting the good of their life and that makes us wish we were living good like them or having a perfect life, but the thing is we don't know what they go through or what they have gone through before all the good in their life came or if even if now they are still going through something, It also i do not like how it creates a false expectation. i feel like everything i just said was what you said but i felt like saying this and you should keep on doing this i enjoyed it very much !! i
I love art-tea!!! Your channel makes my day every time I watch it, I think media can be good when it's so pure and out of the kindness of people's hearts.
PD. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate when people give their opinion about this kind of things. Also, this video just made me feel like I was drinking tea, even if I was not. Weird
I love love love chatty videos like these, where people talk about things others don't quite brush upon in real life/everyday conversations. At least for me, that is what my experience is. And also, paired with the concept of doing art at the same time is genius, therapeutic even.
omg u should open a cafe called art-tea, people can go there to paint if they want and they can hang up their art !! what a nice concept
why don't YOU do that ?!

Emily ooh, I also think this is a great idea!
I would love to have a deep conversation with Conan. He seems like he's so easy to talk to.
Conan: "If you do want to see me ramble for 15 minutes"
Conan: Proceeds to make a 10 minute video
i feel cheated lol...
Love the message that you are giving, Conan. Keep on going and stay unique.♡♡
i really needed this. i've realised that i compare myself to everyone and it's a major cause of my anxiety. makes me feel like shit. i don't think i will ever be able to stop but this really helped me put things into perspective :)
maybe to format your art-tea you could have a video of you drawing on one side and you talking on the other side? dunno just a suggestion
Sarah Santiago I agree with you too, conan you could film yourself drawing (just the drawing) and you speed it up like a speed drawing or speed painting if you want, and you could either record your voice talking or film yourself talking and edit that in the corner ^^
Sarah Santiago or film yourself drawing and voice over
I was suggesting that because he said he was finding it difficult to draw and talk... but I understand where you are coming from too
3 years later and I'm still enjoying all your videos, that is sooooo nice and I just feel so good to have you to accompany me to grow up. THANK YOU!!!!
If this type of chat video isn't perfection I don't know what is 🌸💞
I'd watch it again just so I can drink tea with you, it's like 2 am here ugh
I love that you only post the pretty happy things. I watch your videos for that reason, thank you for making positive videos. 🌱🌻

What kind of tea do you drinkydrinky CONAAANNN?!?!??
Loren Sluyter it was peppermint ! 🌻
Conan Gray YASSS peppermint is my FAV! Never tried it with honey tho...
sammmeee!!!! i drank some last night!!
Peppermint tea with honey gives me lifeee
Tahlia Haverdink I added honey to my peppermint tea and I don't taste any difference
When i'm stressed you are someone i love to watch. You have this beautiful calming quality and its something very special to have.
the drawing looks beautifull
and i really like his videos cause he doesn't hide the real him, like he says when things aren't well and that is okay cause we all have those days
I don’t know why but with you specifically I feel like I’m right with you hearing you talk about random stuff and it’s super comforting
Oh god. I love Conan. Literally the smollest bean
i just found your videos and you have the best personality and your art is AMAZING i know thats such a cliche comment but as a 14 year old kindartistitscomplicated who really wants to just fucking draw for me and no one or anything else, you honestly inspire me and help so much.
I dont want to get super ranty but i have pretty bad anxiety and OCD and art just sometimes feels like an obligation. Like i find myself doing art on a schedule (like ill do one piece every weekend) and if i break the schedule ill just be filled with anxiety. I worry that ill lose whatever artistic ability i have if i dont do any art for a while but it just stopped having any positive effects on my life. Im not saying i dont want to create art because i do, I really do, but i realize its kind of unhealthy to be chained by these rules i make for myself especially with something thats supposed to be a creative and calming release. Its so draining and I honestly hate it but I just can't seem to break the cycle I lock myself in. Does anyone relate to this or has gone through something similar? Thank you!
wow this comment is really long whoops sorry
nolie blue you don't have to feel bad about writing a long comment, I like to read and you have the right to express everything you want to.
I know the human experience varies but I have to say that I relate to your comment a lot. what had happened to me was that I was really depressed at one point (even more than now, it's much better now) and when I was depressed I had lost interest in school and learning and I used to love it. it almost felt powerful to know and shout out the answers in class all of the time (which may have been annoying to my classmates in retrospect but anyway, learning is cool). then, when I was about 14, something happened to me. I'll describe it like this: my heart and brain were two glass containers and they just fell on the floor and shattered. I started to feel really, really tired all of the time, and I dreaded going to school (but not going wasn't really an option either to my parents). my family put a lot of pressure on me to perform because I was supposed to be the 'smart one', and I could barely hold a c average because I hardly ever turned in assignments. I used to love to read and write stories before my heart broke, and after, it was a chore. a couple of years ago, a good friend of mine asked me to write some poems and I said I would, and then I never really talked to her again. I just couldn't finish them until recently. I used to write them all of the time, but then it felt like work. it was difficult, and everytime I'd try to write a poem, I'd feel like I was milking my brain for thoughts that weren't there. I'll be 19 in a month and have been going to University for two years now, and it's still been a rough road. but I learned things that made it easier. for one thing, you can't be two hard on yourself when you don't meet goals. at least, not so hard on yourself that you almost feel discouraged. you have to set goals, not expectations, take the time to appreciate yourself and the world, and do kindnesses for others. there are so many other things I could talk about that I've learned/could contribute to those feelings. try to get motivated to do art and draw whenever you get the inspiration. maybe keep a pen when you are feeling any emotion and write down how you feel as best as you can, to inspire you later. I hope you feel better soon if you aren't already
Rainbow Life thank you so much for your reply! Tbh i actually kind of forgot about this comment but im really glad i found it again because im actually doing so much better, its kind of insane. Im just doing whatever I want and ive improved my skills a lot.
Rainbow Life Rainbow Life And thank you so so much for sharing your experience. I can really relate to what youre saying about milking your brain for thoughts that werent there also. Like sometimes i would just sit down to draw, and it would almost feel like the wires in my brain werent connecting and I just couldnt do it. It was also really frustrating because it just felt like no one got it, you know? Like i would tell my parents i was being to hard on myself and they would say "its ok sweetie, just go easy on yourself." or i would say i was anxious and felt sick and they would say "its alright, just relax." which was frustrating because i was telling them my problem and their advice was just.. dont have the problem? like I really appreciate them listening but that didnt help me. Also even though i follow a lot of social media accounts and read books dedicated to mental illnesses, i couldnt find a single post that really described what I was feeling. I know i have anxiety and show symptoms for it, and I was told by a therapist that I had OCD, but even reading about those illnesses I didnt see what I was experiencing described. I felt, and still feel, completely alone at times and its difficult. Recently ive been feeling insanely tired and sometimes i still feel that awful apathy of just not wanting to draw or do anything. Like i said before, I am doing wildly better on the art front, but with school and life and all that jazz it still feels like every day is a struggle.
I also relate to what you said about being pressured about school. Im an honors student, but for the last few months Ive been getting pretty bad grades. Which is my fault, because i just dont do assignments. Like i have the paper in front of me and I have a pencil but i just.. dont want to. And i know no one really wants to do some assignments but still something is making you do it, whether it be fear of failure or motivation or whatever. I didnt have that. It was so confusing and I still dont really understand, but i am doing better and pulling my grades up.
So, really, thank you so so much for replying to my comment. I know now that there is at least one other person who has experienced what i have and made it out ok. I know Im not alone. I have been doing a lot better with everything in the past few weeks, but i know Im not out of the woods yet.
oh whats up my dude I only "discovered" your channel 2 days ago and already binge watched most of your videos, so keep doing you man you're like so different yet so relatable. to sum things up you're a very interesting guy and I love your content ok I'm done with the support for today have a nice one lol I'm gonna watch your vid now bye
Looking at this video three years later I look up to young Conan AND Conan now. He’s so perfect and adorable. He claims he isn’t but I beg to differ
okay but this is a cute idea this is my new obsession
You're so positive, aware, and honest! Thank you! Watching your videos makes me feel really relaxed & I'm very grateful for that.
I always look forward to your videos I love them
Don't mind me just doing my homework while listening to his calming voice and thinking aka i'm living my best life
You should do a after school routine
everytime i need motivation, or need to be cheered up from the stress of uni or work i come to watch your videos. thank you for being so you, and always talking about things that matter
CONAN I LOVE THIS SEGMENT, but seriously do it!
Conan, the reason why you're my favorite person is because you're so imperfect and you, it literally makes you the most '"perfect" person. I love you so much!
Conan where did those beautiful curls go. I miss them.😜
k griffin omg right?? haha im wondering where theyve gone
k griffin (to both of you) he said somewhere else, I forgot where, that his hair one day just lost its curl
I'm in love with his outfits!
I need a friend like you.we need more Conan's
good vibes conan, good vibes👌🏼🎵
Conan more like the exact reason why I love art aka Conan ((: ♡
i love how you're so honestly accurate and relatable
YOU'RE SO ARTSY I LOVE ITTT
no, actually he is art-tea
It's always comforting to know that you're never the only one that has negative thoughts and that you're not the only one who does bad things. Hearing this from such an influencer like you was great❤❤
I never used to care about how perfect I looked on social media. I would literally post whatever relatable content I wanted to but now bc I get picked on for not posting “normal” content (eg selfies and holiday photos) I feel like there’s more pressure for me to post that kind of stuff to make other people happy. I definitely needed this video bc I feel like I’ve started becoming really dependent on social media to the point where it is unhealthy.
Conan I hope you start posting these types of videos again I love them. They’re kind of therapeutic with the art and just everything about them is calming x
Conan. I've just discovered you rather recently and I absolutely love your videos. Lately I've been going through some hard times socially, but when I get home I come and watch your videos, usually binge watching them, and I just feel so much happier. You are a light, you give happiness to people. And I want to just have you know you have brought so much happiness and help to so many people. Lots of love.
this lady's and gents, is where artea all began
I think that when I see people with "perfect lives" it just makes me want to persevere and work harder to accomplish my goals and get to where I want to be in life. I stumbled across your videos a few days ago and that is exactly what your videos do for me. the second I started watching your videos I have just been so eager to accomplish things.
0:09 This cup was also in the overdrives premier 😌
i usually find these types of videos boring but theres just something calming about you and your voice and you just being interesting in general that doesn't let me get bored
i miss conan and his vlogs and his cute intro and yeah .. 🌟
Conans videos were just made for rainy lazy saturdays, he's all i've been watching all day ❤
Youre videos are entertaining but they definitely make me slightly jealous, even though i know that your life isn't perfect, at least u have great friends and fun things to do compared to me just staying at home
Awww I love you Conan. Whenever I watch your videos it brightens up my day. Please don't change for anyone, you're so amazing, wonderful, and beautiful just as you are. Have a nice day and keep making your great videos. Thank you💛.
Maybe you can do a time lapse of the drawing then do a voice over on the topic you want to talk about! :) That way we can also see the process of your sketches.
Sam love this idea!! But maybe not every video of the series
you're videos make me so happy and I totally agree that being always positive can make people look down on themselves, but I think the majority being positive on the channel is good
HIII OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION FOR EVERYTHING AND I GET HAPPY WHEN YOU POST I KNOW THAT'S CREEPY TMI BUT WHO CARES GODAMMIT LOVE FROM THE UK XOXOXOXOXO
I love you so much, and seeing you and your "perfect" life doesn't make me hate myself, it makes me want to improve myself. You are my inspiration and I'm so glad I found your channel
You are soooooo cool! I recently discovered your channel and I have already watched some your vlogs and other videos for several times 😂. You really inspire me with your art , clothing style and your character. I
wish I had a friend like you😂! (And you motivated me to play the guitar 🎸 again ! )Have a nice day/ morning / evening whatever 😂. Greetings from Germany 💕☺️!
I think that showing to the world only the positive things is wrong. I know that I've been struggling with loving myself because I'm not "perfect", and there really aren't many people on social media (or celebrities) that talk about bad days or other "imperfections". Thank you for this video! ❤️ This is something if been thinking a lot about. I love your channel because you're real. You're showing positive sides in your life, and not ignoring the negative ones. Thank you for talking about this 💕💕
I love your outfit
I loved this so much. I legit made a tea and got my sketchbook out to art-tea along with you! As for perfection, I think there's a difference between being positive and being "perfect." Positivity is a mindset and does not depend on the part of you that you share on the internet. Perfection is putting on a fake persona by disregarding hardships and lying. You do not disregard hardships, you seem to just keep that part private-which is totally fine! Everyone (especially on social media) should keep some of their life private, but that does not make you fake. You are being true in what you share, but you don't have to share everything to avoid perfection. I think this idea of perfection stems from viewers' perspectives. We have been conditioned to know everything about people's lives through the normalization of social media and the romanticization of reality tv. I think as long as the part of you that you show to the world is true, you will never be fake perfect.
If you decide to put more of yourself out onto this platform-even the hardships-it won't become more honest or real. You ARE honest and real without the hardships. But if you want to put more of yourself out into the RUclips sphere, then it should come from yourself not from the judgement of others (of yourself, or of themselves through you!). It is truly a difficult time to be a teen/young adult on social media. If you want to share more of your life, you should not fear that your channel will become a negative place. Like I said before, positivity is a mindset, and even if you show hardships, I know this channel will still be a welcoming and helpful place. Look at Dodie! She does talk about her hardships, yet she is still a positive influence on her viewers! I believe that you can (if you feel comfortable) share more and still be positive/have a positive channel.
If talking and writing is to hard at the same time, you could follow a similar format to a person called Chloe (scarfdemon on RUclips) where she does paintings and then talks about something over the top of it, I don't know is simply an idea
maddie boris Minnie small does this too it's so calming
At the start of the video when he said he was gonna draw + talk at the same time I was like lol have fun with that !! but I really like this style he's trying out. maybe the camera could be at angle that we can still see him + what he's drawing but to make it easier for him to concentrate have the voiceover?
You're the only person that I can listen to for more than two minutes without making me want to rip my ears off. Thank you
Also how do you get motivation to sit down and work?? I find it really hard to work while actually concentrating its weird
Anaa Adrienne you probably just have a short attention span like me 💗 but I find it easiest to just sit down and work if I'm listening to music that I already know all the words to and love whist sitting at a comfy area that I'm familiar with. Hope this helped 😘
I learned that others ways of doing something might not work for me so I actually watch a vid or show if it's something like math hw or drawing, & listen to music for stuff like writing assignments and things that need more of my concentration. But if there's nothing my mind goes every which way and I can never concentrate.
kAAAyYYYlA aw Thankyou that helps a lot! Makes sense too, have a good day/night xoxo
Inspiration comes and goes. When it comes it is absolutely wonderful, but when it leaves it is so incredibly difficult to pick up a pencil/pen/camera/otherartsupply. The one thing that is important is to just work when this happens. Put on a lovely playlist, grab your art of choice and work. It doesn't matter if it is absolute garbage and you absolutely despise it (everyone makes work they hate, it's normal). What is important is that you keep working. Look up a prompt, use a random word generator, make something totally abstract, it doesnt matter as long as you keep creating because by doing that eventually something will come to you and you'll find motivation to work.
its really nice of you to talk about this because obviously no one is ever perfect. i think internally, everyone is aware of it but whatever we see on the internet (the positives) and the language of narration makes it sound brighter. the perception of perfection is different for different people and what people compare it with is what their feelings are. they might be satisfied with themselves but the tier which is higher seems much more admirable which might lead to negative feelings. also some people are just "sad".
with that being said; this vid was a great idea, if you liked making it then please continue. your voice is v nice and calming so i dont really mind anything you do in it (since i have a tendency to zone out) cause your presence makes everyone on your channel happy.
i know you are not perfect but you are kind and friendly. sometimes thats all what people need.
You could film while you show the drawing, and talk in the background ! Just an idea ima throw out there for you !!
It's so relaxing hearing your calm voice, ahhh the fresh air of Conan
Practice makes permanent ^^ not perfect :))
And even though we make mistakes, they aren't mistakes.. just happy accidents~
If yknow who that's from u get a kookie
Kat Do --bob Ross :P
Mackenzie Schubert 🍪 🍪 👏🏻 👏🏻
Kat Do I've been thinking about your comment, and I really think that the reason why he called them "happy accidents" is because we always learn something from them and try to not do the same "happy accident" again. And when we don't do the same because of what we have learned we are happy because it turns out better. We progress.
Kat Do My fave, Bob Ross. I literally made a pin with that quote on it
Kat Do I think it's better to say "practice makes progress"
this is my favourite series on youtube - PLEASE do more - i really needed to hear about this topic so thank you
i think people should express themselves more on social media. the fact that people use social media to be them selves helps me believe that the viewers should be able to see the different sides of a person and not just all the good. nobody is perfect and everyone has bad days or has a day where they want to vent or rant and they should do that with their viewers and help the viewers to get to know them. My opinion on people putting themselves down because they wish they were perfect or lived like a certain celebrity or well known person is that this occurs due to these people only posting the good of their life and that makes us wish we were living good like them or having a perfect life, but the thing is we don't know what they go through or what they have gone through before all the good in their life came or if even if now they are still going through something, It also i do not like how it creates a false expectation. i feel like everything i just said was what you said but i felt like saying this and you should keep on doing this i enjoyed it very much !! i
I love art-tea!!! Your channel makes my day every time I watch it, I think media can be good when it's so pure and out of the kindness of people's hearts.
honey is God's best creation
Also, you and chocolate and equality
PD. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate when people give their opinion about this kind of things. Also, this video just made me feel like I was drinking tea, even if I was not. Weird
alex band guy conan is gods best creation haha
alex band guy your comment made me happy
I love love love chatty videos like these, where people talk about things others don't quite brush upon in real life/everyday conversations. At least for me, that is what my experience is. And also, paired with the concept of doing art at the same time is genius, therapeutic even.
I actually laughed out loud when you introduced "art-tea"
well when i watch your videos i get inspired and i also get motivated to be as positive as you are and you're just an amazing person
