You don’t have to act that my boy. Try and learn to accept that people believe things you don’t and move on. Trying to bring someone down like that makes you look really immature.
'Praise the lord' absolute legend and inspiration!! Amazing to see a successful artist giving all the glory to the lord, something so rare these days....
I'm an introvert, I've always been a shy girl, and I struggle with social anxiety, so as you can imagine, his music means so much to me. And I just gotta say it: that adorable shy boy smile gets me every time. 😊
An introverted guy being able to perform live in front of a lot people... Yes! It's indeed a miracle! =) That's why you're really an inspiration to a lot of people (most especially young ones, which is a good thing 'coz they find a role model in you). Keep it up Adam. You're doing a great job. =)
Hero. Role model. Inspiration. He helped me realize that being a social introvert isn't bad. So many of my friends wonder what's wrong with me because I don't talk and I don't stand in their circles. Until I read his blog and watched some of these videos... I never even knew I was an introvert... I thought there was something wrong with me... thank you, Adam. You (and this sounds cheesy) saved me from feeling like a worthless freak for the rest of my life.
i have aspergers and insomnia. i related heavily to adam as i do public speaking about my autism and i can literally only do it if i have Adam's music in the background. thank you adam young. your my everything
My parents told me when I was 11, I didn't understand it then but I'm 15 now and can see why I always have been shy with strange behaviours. I think the younger you understand the better
this almost made me tear up bad. adam young and his music has always been an important part of my life, its not just music, its art, and passion and thats what love about him. Ive always been introverted and noticingly awkward, its something i've lived with for the last 19 years of my life, but watching this and listening to what adam had to say about himself changed my point of view. It's okay to be awkward, its okay to be shy, if you just be yourself, what else matters? praise the lord
Always been a giant Introvert and OCD and Aspergers is what I deal with. Adam is such an inspirational person a Hero in every sence of the word and his music speaks to me in so many ways.
Adam you are a hero because you face a fear i can completely relate to so often in order to share your amazing gift with us. How can I possibly thank you enough for being so courageous? Your bravery literally inspires me every day.
I've always been painfully shy and introverted and there's an interview where he says he doesn't see that as "bad" or something he needs to change about himself...it just is....that really opened my eyes and I sort of stopped being down on myself about my social awkwardness and just tried to be me, like he does. It's a lot easier when you aren't trying to fight who you are......Thanks, Adam...and yes, like others here have said......you are my Hero, too!
If I could like this more than once, I would! I'm right there with you on all you said here. Good observation, and very well put. I hope more people notice this about him, recognize it as something that is significantly different, and consider what it may be that makes this attitude the rare jewel that it is.
Praise the Lord... :-)You are a beautiful person Mr. Adam Randal Young. I am an introvert and you are my inspiration... You raise our flag up high... thank you oh sooo much for that...I
I'm an introvert but i always thought i could do more and be more. I was a shy girl and got pushed down but now in my twenties i rose up i believed in my dreams and two years later i have found myself in Melbourne designing and making fashion and loving every single minute. All my creative energy and emotion goes into the art of making clothes. I am so happy for the both of us that we are making our dreams happen we are pushing past our fears to create and make this world a better place xo
I'm an introvert, high sentisive and slightly autistic. I love Adam and his music. I can relate to him so much, it's creepy sometimes. His music is amazing and he really helped me through difficult moments in my life. Adam, I love you
It is so great to be able to relate to such an awesome, talented and overall nice person! I was super shy as a young kid and it was so hard at times to be able to be around groups of people. It is nice to know that someone I admire, respect so much, and look up to, understands what I went through and still do (although I have gotten a little better with the shyness) So Adam, thanks for being who you are and sharing such wonderful music and for inspiring us all in so many ways! YOU ARE AWESOME!!
I did an informative speech on Introverts in English class because of you Adam. I went to your blog and made a quiz about the myths. At one point it talks about you and your awesome music and I prompted people to listen to it. :D
I've been a socially awkward introvert all my life, I didn't even know about Asperger's syndrome but, an online questionnaire just told me I am most likely an aspie. But, Adam Young is inspiring me that one does not need to have excellent social skills to be successful, sometimes pure talent can take you places without being an extrovert!
I find Christian very reliant on God (I try, but I don't feel vary successful) and an introvert like me SO much more attractive then any muscular guy or whatever. Am I crazy??
No, but as for relying on God, you aren’t alone. I struggle with the same thing. It’s tough but just keep praying about it or find someone of the same faith that can help you in those areas.
Woah they played I miss you in the background I love that song !! Adam he's such an amazing person and a great romodel if you whant a star romodel let it be him he's just so great
I don't really get stage fright, unless I'm unprepared for what I'm supposed to do, it does help if you close your eyes (if possible sometimes dance moves don't allow for this) It also helps to stare at the stage lights, cause it blocks out the audience.
Yet his music makes me more extraverted. I'm already very extraverted, I get depressed if I'm alone for more than a few hours, but still, his music just makes me want to go out and be friends with everybody and talk to strangers.
He is amazing. I am definitely an introvert as well, also quite an extreme one and I could never imagine being in the spotlight like he is. I shudder at the thought! He handles the fame very well. How far he has come. You go Adam, we introverts got your back!
Love this guy! Hearing his words, esp with the stage fright, really is just like me!! Eeek and for also being an introvert myself, he really gives me the motivation. It's amazing he's going out in the spotlight and everything and doing what he's so talented and gifted with despite being introverted!
I am an introvert too. I only enjoy same patern every day which is work in the morning and playing with computer games every afternoon. It is not that much fun to other people but i was able to save money much for my account cause i only spend money for food and basic necessities.
im a huge introvert. some how id rather think to myself then be around a big group of people. ill usually be sitting in my room walking in circles thinking to myself and getting things sorted out. i love you adam! im a hoot owl forever and your my life! i wish i could see you in concert and i wish you can come to my area soon! lofl!
Oh my... this is my favorite song for a long time O.o *can't describe my feelings right now* Just thank you for everything, and come back soon in Europe, we miss you =)
o hi mysterious youtube channel with amazing video. I feel like this video... Adam's actually talking. Not that he never has.. but like... he's talking with no nerves or in a hurry... just... honestly. He's talking honestly. I love it.
Exactly right. I’m very introverted myself. (Though it’s hard to tell with people on the internet, it’s not a big deal usually.) But that’s a good way of describing introversion; I like that. ^_^
wow, hearing him talk about this makes me feel that im not alone...all my friends call me as being"antisocial" for not coming out of my house to go hang out with them and etc...but the thing is, I like being alone, i like not having to deal with FB... a lot of the times, it makes me happy to be able to do things in a quiet environment. thanks adam! i realized that being an introvert isn't as bad as ppl make it out to be.
I'm not an introvert but I'm really self-concious, the difference being that I like big groups of people, but only if I know people there. I hate being on my own doing something in front of anyone, unless I know them really well, and I can only sing on my own in front of my sister. I can't stand giving an answer in class, I go bright red and I actually cannot talk to anyone I don't know unless it's online. I'm trying to be more confident, the internet and God helps :) I LOVE ADAM :)x
I used to be really introverted, to the point I was mute until middle school. But one day in a group of people my friend noticed I was getting anxious and said to me quietly "Nobody is judging you" and I just joined in the conversation and it was a lot easier than feeling awkward. I'm more comfortable feeling free.
I like to think about being such an extreme introvert. It feels like getting back to the grassroots for me. I'm very introverted, but I have a tendency to put up an extroverted shell a lot of the time. That's why I act, actually; I've landed two lead roles thus far, because I've been practicing acting my whole life. It feels nice to realize that quiet honesty, reflection and love for what you do and who you are can be satisfying and safe.
I gotta love this guy lol I am an introvert and i occationally hate that i cant hold a conversation with a group of people and walk away silently. I am a singer in a band at my church and humans sometimes want to talk to me but i just never know what to say or how to say what they wanna hear and i perfer just hiding behind the sounds of music or silence. My brother hates this about me saying that thats why i was depressed before but now i have Christ and i can openly say am who i am.
i agree with you 100%. i hate when people always thank god for getting them where they are. i wish they would just put the religion aside and understand that their own passion, their own push and enthusiasm and dedication is what got them where they are.
i was the same way in school, very shy got teased a lot so i never wanted to talk much. but i feel i am much bolder now that i am out of school and not as shy. im still an introvert and still shy but not as much as i used to be.
Describe yourself in 5 words.
I am really really shy
-Adam Young
My favourite word is cube
@OwlCityMP3 owl city shooting star
If it wasn't for Adam's music, I wouldn't have a childhood
same lollll
same
Sameeee
Yeah
I can't imagine my life without his music
Love how he's got blink 182 playing
Lol thought I was goin' crazy and just hearing that.
"just - praise the Lord!" :')
It's a load of shit, "praise the lord" there is no god
You don’t have to act that my boy. Try and learn to accept that people believe things you don’t and move on. Trying to bring someone down like that makes you look really immature.
AMEN
Praise the Lord!
I'm an introvert, and I feel the need to get lost in thought, and in my poetry. I totally connect with you, Adam.
*shy
*introvert
*wears glasses
I love this man
I'm an Introvert, Christian and wears glasses!
Adam is amazing!
I will always be an Owl Citizen!
XD

I love how everything Adam says somehow links back to God :)
AMEN

hey can i just dm you? trust me i need this
Yes, praise the Lord! Ugh I love you. That ending statement. You are the cutest guy alive.
I cannot function in social situations I completely just ignore any type of human interaction
Jesus loves you ❤
eileen alvarado Same, they diagnosed me with some autism because of it :(
My parents told me when I was 11, I didn't understand it then but I'm 15 now and can see why I always have been shy with strange behaviours. I think the younger you understand the better
Adam's so cute with glasses!!
Looks like Dan Howell in this video. I am a huge introvert as well, but solitude is where I get the biggest creative spikes.
He is literally the sweetest soul to ever graze this fucking earth god bless this man💜
I am an introvert too. I love you Adam.
Love the glasses on him!!! They totally suit him
this almost made me tear up bad. adam young and his music has always been an important part of my life, its not just music, its art, and passion and thats what love about him.

💯
I love Adam 3 He's my biggest inspiration and the reason Im still alive. And Im an introvert too.. :3
Adam, i like your vid. It always feels good to hear a fellow introvert share their experience.
Adam you are a hero because you face a fear i can completely relate to so often in order to share your amazing gift with us. How can I possibly thank you enough for being so courageous? Your bravery literally inspires me every day.
He is charming
I am completey like him! I love you Adam!! ♡♡
I've always been painfully shy and introverted and there's an interview where he says he doesn't see that as "bad" or something he needs to change about himself...it just is....that really opened my eyes and I sort of stopped being down on myself about my social awkwardness and just tried to be me, like he does.

An introverted pop star! YUSS. You are my rolemodel, Adam Young.
U go Adam! Don't give up. Oh by the way, ur rokin the glasses.
If I could like this more than once, I would! I'm right there with you on all you said here. Good observation, and very well put. I hope more people notice this about him, recognize it as something that is significantly different, and consider what it may be that makes this attitude the rare jewel that it is.
He's just like me which is one of the reasons I love him
Getting lost in music..I can really relate to that. Whenever I play sing, play mandolin, or violin it's always with eye closed.
Everything I love wrapped up in one man's mind and heart. :)
I love you Adam
Praise the Lord! You go Adam Young!
Praise the Lord... :-)You are a beautiful person Mr. Adam Randal Young. I am an introvert and you are my inspiration... You raise our flag up high... thank you oh sooo much for that...I

@@littlegreenproductions7577 Amen to that!
I never heard someone say that they find introverts more attractive... that wams my heart
I have aspergers and i find myself more attracted to other 'aspies'
But Adam got both :0
He's so cool and humble.
umm, i could watch this all day for some reason
"...another reason just to praise the Lord." YESSSSSSSSSSS.
I've always felt happier by myself. It just makes me feel so much better than being around other people :)
If it wasn’t for Adam’s music I would be here his music saves my life everyday 😅❤
He looks exceptionally attractive in this video.
It’s almost as if he is my spiritual brother
Jake Taliaferro Worley I feel spree same way about Adam. I appreciate how understood he makes us feel 💖💖
blink 182 in the backround haha.
Lol yeah, he actually did a song with Mark Hoppus of Blink-128 called "Dementia"
Weatherbrony well actually it was Mark Hoppus who is the bassist of blink-182.
gahoolefreak13 Oh sorry lol. I really need to get my facts right. He still sang though, didn't he?
yeah he did Weatherbrony
actually that is definitely reliant k

Fellow aspie! 💜 Adam is quite the inspiration for me. Someday I want to overcome my battles and be successful like Adam. He's gone so far.
"PTL"... way to represent Adam(:
I'm not an introvert but I'm really self-concious, the difference being that I like big groups of people, but only if I know people there.

Go Aspies! Love your work Adam.
Praise the Lord!!!!
GOD BLESS HIM!!!
I feel the same way! I always want to be alone and I really don't like socializing.

Sometimes I think Adam reads my mind and speaks directly to me on his blog. God really uses this guy :D
Owl City and blink-182 in one video. I must be in heaven.
He looks so cute ALLLLLL the time :D
So pure hearted guy
adam is amazing
I gotta love this guy lol
