@@meggzilla009 EXACTLY!! Especially with a language barrier and seeing a child drawing a coast probably made the kidnappers freak out. I would love to sit down with these people
@@drm.himself are you ok? hes just saying that going thorough sm like that is really bad and it must be painful talking about them to this extend so maybe chill
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!! I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear al
The Pulse Nightclub massacre is something that hits so close to home. It validates that fear you feel when you’re openly gay in public. Absolutely horrifying
Just more reason for me to never leave home unarmed. I'm never willing to be a victim and won't let me friends be either. I just hope I never have to use it
I find it the hardest to put myself into the shoes of the guy that was kidnapped by the pirates. When he was finally free, the world he came back to was different. Just the changes that must've stuck out to him. Knowing you were stuck in a place for a long time also meaning you missed everything else outside that place. Just a total disconnect to the world. Finally entering the place you call home and making yourself a nice breakfast in the morning the next day when you wake up. It must've feel so surreal.
From my understanding, people have this same experience coming out of prison. The world moves so fucking fast. I remember reading a reddit post that had a question like that. And people were commenting stories about such things. One that stuck out to me was a dude going to prison just before smartphones really just exploded. He was in for years and he came out, and had a mental breakdown seeing the world so so soooo different. Some really struggled because prison didn't prepare them for this and many severely struggled becoming just a regular citizen in society. Simply because they had to LEARN everything, and then keep up with the pace of it changing. So wild
My sister & her (now ex-) wife were suppose to go & meet up with friends at Pulse that night. I feel horrible saying this sometimes, but I’m so happy that they were tired that night. There were some frantic, panicking late night phone calls & immediate relief. That relief turned into horror & compassion, equally, as they found out that five of their friends didn’t make it out. My sister & her wife both worked at Universal Studios at the time, her wife specifically worked in Harry Potter World & friends with Luis Vielma, who also worked at HP World. To this day, neither one of them can or have gone to the Pulse memorial. It’s too hard. Just knowing I could’ve lost my sister than night, I can’t even start to fathom how any of the victims’ families, friends & loved ones felt/are feeling. I try not to feel guilty for those emotions but it’s difficult at times. How can someone who wasn’t even a victim of this heinous hate crime have ‘survivor’s guilt’ because my sister didn’t go & therefore lived? Friggin ridiculous. The Pulse shooting still feels raw for many in Florida, especially Central Floridians.
@@supremecurmuncher8398 Ya know, to tell ya the truth, we haven’t talked about it for a long time. I think it’s (unintentionally) kind of been an unspoken topic, but I should check in with my sister, at least. I’ll think of that as a positive in the ‘win’ column. ☺️
I'm sure you realize this already, but you should never feel guilty for feeling grateful your family avoided/survived this sort of tragedy while others didn't. You did nothing wrong. As for getting over that feeling, idk what actions you can take to heal, but there'ye surely out there awaiting your discovery.
The way you feel is valid and justified. Always remember that. Survivors guilt is difficult, and you should forgive yourself for having these emotions.
@Reese x you're so right! i think there's a certain voyeurism and cheap sensationalism to dissecting every little detail of a huge tragedy ("journalists" really should stop doing that) and I'm so glad Anthony is more professional and empathetic than that
I really appreciated what Linda said about some of the captors being trapped in their own regime. As an Iranian-Canadian, this is definitely the struggle I see. Most Iranians are not in support of the regime but you don't really have a choice when you live there. The disgusting acts of the government put a bad name on the people that live there, even though they're seeking freedom themselves. It was very empathetic of her to consider that. Unfortunately I'm not surprised by the Iranian government and what they put her through.
I was the gal who spoke on Anthony's show about being Iranian just a few weeks ago, and I'm right there with you. Unfortunately when people share their experiences online, we can accidentally paint all of Iran as a horrible place. In reality, Iranians are held captive by their own government, and they don't want it to be happening in the first place. They are beautiful people with a beautiful culture and situations like this don't represent the majority of the country.
You know, Michael's story is so inspirational, last December I had this massive school project that's really important, me and my friends topic that we chose, was about Somalian pirates, and somehow Michael agreed to do an interview with us on Zoom about his experience held captive. And thanks to him we'd succeeded pretty well and got the highest grade possible, Thank you, Michael, you're the definition of a legend!
As a person who lived trough a severe trauma i hate the idea of “forgiveness” and the idea that I HAVE TO FORGIVE THEM. No I don’t, not one us needs to forgive, EVER. And it annoys me to no end when people tell me i “need” to forgive them. I don’t. I’ve moved on, i’ve stopped thinking about them. They don’t matter to me anymore, but i did not forgive them. And i never will, but i have healed. So this idea that the ONLY way to heal is to forgive is completely untrue and to me it was very harmful and forced me deeper into a corner. So yeah just here to say that forgiveness isn’t mandatory for healing, and if you try to force it, it will do more harm.
"Let me dream again" was such a powerful quote. You don't realize how much you lose from trauma until you realize you don't have dreams anymore. Until you realize that everything has lost its spark and nothing means as much as it did before. Working through and confronting your trauma is one of the hardest things a person can do.
I feel like Patience is still very much on her journey, she said a number of self-help talking points that are encouraging and nice to hear but don't go too far beyond that, though if it's helping her now then that's awesome. But also, what the fvck would I know.
Sometimes you just gotta keep saying the good shit out loud til it sticks. I haven't been through anything like this myself but I've been through other trauma and have chronic pain and its a coping mechanism that works. Doesn't mean there's not truth in the good things she's repeating though 🥰
Honestly I got that feeling as well, as someone who was violently assaulted (in several ways) and threatened with death several times in one night in 2020. I saw a lot of me in her. A lot of hope, a lot of ‘putting on a brave face’, even some forced forgiveness (I tried to forgive my abuser not because they deserved it, but because I did) and found that I probably will never fully forgive them. She also speaks a lot about how it seemed to happen for a reason, something I had drilled into me at the start of my journey (which I do not personally agree with). This is in no way hateful towards Patience, I genuinely wish her the best and think that she is a wonderful wonderful person. I’m just pointing out that I can see she’s still very much vulnerable and in the relatively early stages of processing all of what happened to her.
@@desykee3088 I agree with everything else here, but not talking about it really isn't a sign of anything. It can be a sign of not yet being able to talk about it - and it can also be a sign of finally having learned to put up some boundaries after a traumatic event. I say that because I've been through trauma myself and never had any problems with talking about it. In fact I often felt like I had to. For the last few months I have not talked about it unless I really wanted to (for example, in therapy), just to try things out and also learn some boundaries. Because oftentimes I feel like I have to explain something and now I'm learning that I ... don't. People often simply don't care that much. I'll do that until I no longer have the feeling that I somehow owe it to people to talk about it and when I reach that point, I'll probably find some sort of middle ground. But I often feel like I have to see both extremes to find that middle ground. And I also know a lot of traumatized people personally, who chose at some point in their life to not talk about it (or at least not always), simply because you don't owe people your story. Regardless of whether or not you are "healed enough" to be able to talk about it.
Michael's story is one that I've taken many a deep dive into, he seems like such a lovely guy and clearly has an incredibly strength of spirit. He's done podcasts and stuff talking about his experiences if anyone wants to find out more, just search his name.
While it's so important for everyone to go through their traumas and recovery in their own ways, with whatever beliefs or habits or choices that help them, I think there's an important footnote that needs to be made about the idea of victimhood and forgiveness. Victim, survivor, and champion are not mutually exclusive states or experiences. No one is a victim because they choose to be - and forgiveness is so important for some people and takes immense strength, but that doesn't mean that those who do not or cannot forgive are wrong or weak. Forgiveness is a choice, and it's not the only one, it's just one of many powerful options.
What you said is absolutely incredible, beautiful and 100% true :) because I really feel like very often we, or the people feel "forced" to forgive someone who hurt them deeply! But sometimes it's just too hard to get rid of the poison this way. You said it extremely well, there are numerous and a large number of ways to get rid of this poison, forgiveness ain't the only one and that's okay! You don't need to forgive because sometimes it's not the best option and can even end up hurting you and destroy you more (I know this from personal experience).
Literally, it's a very Christian believe, like you need to forgove to be q good person and go to heaven or what not. This I the very definition of making a victim feel like the bad guy if they don't want to forgive and forget.
@Mann Person you can forgive without forgetting. you don’t just forget something that traumatic and terrifying, but you can forgive the person that did it by trying to see their side
Please do one with domestic abuse survivors! There’s so many types to explore (physical, sexual, emotional, mental, financial, more) & it would give us such needed & great information surrounding these convos! As well as the possible difference in the impact afterwards, many suffer C-PTSD (complex ptsd), suffer from & are diagnosed with mood / personality disorders such as borderline or bipolar after, etc. Lots to explore. Love ur vids! ❤️❤️
@@johnbaldwell3395 Now, I don't know Patience, but I do know myself and I grew up in organized crime (child pornography), so ... yes, people can be happy. The brain has this miraculous mechanism called dissociation to shield you from those feelings. You don't live your life thinking about it all the time. You don't live your life feeling those feelings all of the time. You probably don't think all the time about that one time you had something bad happen to you - and really, it's the same with trauma. The only difference is that a) traumatic events have way more triggers (that make you think of them) and b) WHEN you think of them, it's obviously worse than thinking about some random bad memory. And even if you think about it, you don't necessarily feel those feelings all the time. I mean, I'm obviously thinking about my childhood right now, because I'm writing this, but it honestly just feels like it didn't happen to me - like it happened to someone else (again, dissociation). That's a very common thing with trauma. You just don't feel like it happened to you.
@@drm.himself bruh. you act like PTSD isnt real. you don't HAVE To be impriosoned for 20 years and tortured every day to be scarred for life. Are you saying you can watch your friend be killed (when it was just supposed to be a night out ) and be 100% ok the next day? wow
Anthony is one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. So respectful and doesn't force stories out of people, he just lets them talk as much as they are ok with.
@@HamzaHamza.70 yes but him sharing some stories wont change lots maybe a tiny bit but not enough to make me see a different so idk what awareness is being raised.
@@drm.himself actually they CANT. You never really know how someone feels until you’ve been in the same situation. Even if they tell you their whole story in an interview. I don’t think anything is being blown out of proportion.
I went through something that was domestic and pales in comparison to these stories. That being said I can say being held against your will and not knowing if you are going to make it out alive and the things that transpire between that door locking and you being free can really screw with your head for a lifetime. I can't speak for anyone else, but I can speak for myself that for years even though I was free I still felt locked behind that door. And the terror that I had felt for years while followed locked away followed me for years. BUT there IS hope. Medications combined with different forms of therapy can bring about healing. For me personally doing years of CBT was very helpful. I still deal with some symptoms of PTSD, but it is absolutely nothing compared to what I used to live with. Hope exists. Don't give up. Healing is possible💖💜.
I don't think that you should downplay your experiences and heartache just because someone has it worse. There will always be someone who has it worse, but there will always be someone who has it so, so much easier. And I'm so sorry to hear you went through that ♡ I'm glad youre doing better
Kidnapping is more common than we think. I'm talking about child abduction by a parent after a divorce. Often to another country. It's devestating for the other parent but also very confusing for the kid because they obviously love both parents.
I’m just imagining being one of the passengers of Linda’s flight back home 😂☠️ I’d definitely be asking questions and getting turnt with her and the people with her
I dont know if anyone will see this, but i think he should do an episode talking to organ transplant recipients. As someone who's dad had an organ transplant, there is quite the story to go along with it we have met with other recipients along the way, and i can say everyone has a very interesting story to tell.
I don't think you have to forgive everything but at the same time you can stop feeling hatred and you can shift ur attention to moving on from that traumatic experience . Leave the hatred to the universe, whatever is going to happen to that person, leave it to karma don't waste ur time thinking about it.
I agree fully, though sometimes I have seen some "positive" people using statements of people who went through such stuff and being like "see, if they forgave for this then you have no excuse" and I find this misuse despicable
@@agatazietek9098 Yes I don't agree with this narrative that we have to forgive everything. I think this is reinforced by catholicism so most people have this mentality. Jesus can forgive everything because he is Jesus, he even gave his life to people but we ain't him so if the person wants to ask for forgiveness to god because they are sorry or to feel better is up to them, I believe God/universe whatever you wanna call it created karma or the law of return to teach these people lessons for the bad things they did so the victm doesn't have to worry about revenge , the people who were hurt don't have to forgive their actions, the victims just have to move on, they deserve to move on plus is God who is supossed to be merciful, we are just people.
Man, I really can't imagine being in this kind of situation. Not only being in the risk of death would be scary but the worst part is seeing people die around me. On a side note - a good video would be "I spent a day with Ian Hecox"
1. It's really amazing to see the new direction Anthony has gone to and I can possibly say I like this content more than the original Smosh. And that says a lot 2. Anthony Padilla is the only person I've watched so far besides Brew that I can listen to the full sponsor period without losing interest
I know that this is messed up, but hearing their stories, especially the aftermath part and working on healing those traumas really reminds me of the healing im doing because of my parents. Looking back those houses were like hostage situations; for 18 years i was unsafe and living in a war zone. I can really relate to knowing that you've just been through something traumatic and horrifying at the hands of another person only to have people tell you that you're making it up for attention. I wish everyone a healthy and ground breaking healing journey. Thank you for putting yourselves out here for us to watch. Thank you Anthony, for creating such a safe and welcoming environment for people to come and share their experiences. ♡
Exactly I still suffer from my parents and I’m never safe and their is no way out because parents r supported to f*** u up people always romanticis their crimes no mater what
Anthony your videos with different groups of people have helped me learn to accept people and develop a deeper empathy for others. It’s also helping me come to terms with my own mental health issues and learning not to shame myself thank you.
I live in Bandar Abbas the city in Iran that the lady was held hostage in. I can only say I'm sorry. We've tried so hard to get rid of this regime but I guess we're letting the world down.
Reminder that Patience’s path does not have to be yours. It is possible to heal while still considering yourself a victim and not forgiving those who hurt you, the most important thing is to leave plenty of room for other self-descriptors and feelings other than resentment.
I love that you let Patience sit out on the retelling without cutting her out completely. I thought she would be gone after declining to describe the events, but to see her share her afterthoughts and reflections was wonderful. She was just as important and telling as the other two, and I thank you for including her decision to not relive her trauma.
You are really doing something amazing here Anthony. It is so needed in society to see these sorts of first-hand videos. Thank you so much. It is nice to see someone trying to do good and spread awareness to these misunderstood situations. I wish I saw this from other creators more often.
it's amazing how many different topics that you can bring light to. thank you for also being so kind and gentle with everyone that you interview, these videos are so informative!
I love this series a ton, but my most favorite part is always the last clip where you get the most human thing, like kinda poking fun at themselves. Thanks for all involved in creating, making and speaking in these videos!
I have complex ptsd and seeing people overcome this stuff is really inspiring. I'd love to see a vlog channel of someone with ptsd just living their day to day life, showing the ups and downs but that it's possible. Maybe I should start one🤔
i cannot begin to even scratch the surface of what these guys have been through; despite this they have all come out stronger and continue to grow and flourish day by day. we see you, we hear you & we stand with you, no matter how great or small your challenges are
Anyone else think an episode about sexual assault would be “good”? I went through it myself, about ten years, and think hearing people talk about it when I was little and it was still happening would have meant so much.
This really felt like watching an episode of “I Survived”. Anthony always does such a great job with these videos. Very happy that these people survived to tell their stories. Thank you to Anthony and his team for giving them this platform to do so! ❤️
@@drm.himself they did pass away and honestly the story is pretty interesting, I’m not too old to say it’s been some time but I’m not that young anymore seeing as it’s been long enough to bring me into my adult life; never mind other people who have also had this happen in many different ways
Being an orphan and raised by people other than your parents (maybe even having to raise yourself and your siblings) would definitely be interesting. Losing just one parent though doesn't sound as interesting, to be honest, since there are so many single parent households out there. I can see others finding it enlightening to hear about, though, especially when it comes to appreciating your parents while you have both.
@@jessy1982 I guess I’d be a part of both lmao, reasoning myself with guidance by siblings would be where I fit but the story of how I got here is also an interesting one
i would just like to thank anthony for not only shedding light on to people’s experiences and topics we may not have heard about or fully be able to understand due to the media coverage but also being so respectful while doing so and creating a safe space for anyone and everyone to be able to share their truth without feeling uncomfortable or inappropriately portrayed. definitely my favourite channel that i am subscribed to. please keep up the good work, i admire you
Can you do a video on people who have attempted suicide? I think although it’s a very difficult topic, it’s important to see how they view life now and how it’s changed them and hopefully spread more awareness.
@@kha30s22 I didn't say you have to be a Christian to be inspired by her, it's just that forgiveness is such a huge part of believing in Christ that I love seeing it in people!
I would not be good at handling any of these situations. I would immediately be overcome with shock and denial and wouldn't survive. I really admire all these peoples' courage.
i was held hostage by my partner for two entire days while being viciously battered. he tried to break my jaw. gauge my eyes. strangled me until i had a seizure. i also lost my mom during that time. he kept me in his garage on the last day for 10 hours . when i finally got away and got medical attention i had a traumatic brain injury... i never want to experience such evil again. im still not okay and have severe ptsd and i became completely agoraphobic for some months... im starting a new job soon and trying to begin my life but it hurts everyday knowing what he inflicted on me. i used to love my smile and now have broken teeth. I cant look people in the eye. I cant go most places like the grocery store or im severely triggered. im only 24.. i hope i can keep going
Can't answer to that.... I can say a friend is happily married to her spouse.. a spouse whose ex-wife put him in a coma for two years. and same ex-wife is still in jail and has several more years to go. He has seizures, sometimes bad plus ptsd. And said friend and husband love each other forever. whether that helps or not no idea. I just know them
I love your videos. I’ve learned a lot myself from watching your vids, and it is amazing how strong all these people are for being able to come and talk about their experiences and reliving the stressful situations that they were put in 💗
Yeah this is a good one. I think we can all learn from this. I'm going to make an effort to forgive easier and learn to let things go. That hatred and rage isn't doing anything to the person or problem it's directed towards but it's wearing me down and inviting in more negative thoughts and actions. Really good advice I'm glad I clicked on this one.
Hahaha! You're from the LGBT community, you're unable to: 1. Put an effort in anything benefitting society 2. Forgive 3. Have no rage and anger for more than 10 seconds.
@@drm.himself so I'm unable to forgive but I can't be angry for more than 10 seconds. Yeah that makes perfect sense. Why don't you take the advice given in this video and let go of that pent up rage. You're only harming yourself.
Video idea: I spent a day with “scammers” Just to see why they would scam people and what is going on through their head when they do so, it interests me.
@@patricksquarepants275 I was replying to the other person not you 🙂 I liked your idea. The person I was replying to made multiple hate comments and that’s why I said that.
Patience as such a way with words and speaking. Its so beautiful and eloquent yet concise and clear. Like there is so much wisdom in each word and I really admire it as someone who feels like they aren’t able to communicate well.
Sometimes I feel really bad for Anthony. I’m thankful we have someone out here covering the heavy stuff but it makes me wonder if he struggles after these interviews. I know I would. Like how could you sleep after hearing so many traumatic situations and in such detail??? But I’m over here with the blankets over my head watching Ozark with one eye closed.. so don’t mind me 🤦♀️
The woman who managed to forgive and try to understand the shooter is just amazing. I could NEVER do that. I haven't been through it and I STILL hate shooters with a passion. Her message is truly one that is important to get ut there.
Pulse nightclub massacre still will make me feel such a sense of dread and utter sadness. It's that realisation that no matter how many rights you might have as someone who is queer/LGBTQ+, there are people out there who are willing to kill you based off of who you love and who you are.
Anthony could you do a I spent a day with people with eating disorders? As someone who is in recovery from anorexia I think it’s really important to spread awareness about this topic and also I think a lot of people can relate. Thank you ❤️
@@drm.himself So be it lmao. You have 76 comments on this channel and every single one is just spreading negative vibes around? Welp, guess your mom drank too much alcohol during her pregnancy. Take a break, bro. Hating on people is a exhausting job.
I know i am just another comment under a video, but I wanted to say thank you for making videos on all topics and getting peoples stories out there. and for always being respectful for those on your show and welcoming them in such a caring manner and for all in all being a good person. We need more people like you in the world. So thank you.
I feel like you should try to find and interview people who plan for apocalypses, why do they do this, what makes them so afraid they have to do this, what do they think is going to end the world, these are some questions I would like to say to them just the way a humans mind work is so interesting and what causes they would have and hearing straight from the horse's mouth.
I'm honestly just finding this content and I'm BINGEING allt he episodes. I am amazed at how brave and strong these survivors are, I hope they all continue to heal
Anthony, I would just like to say I just started watching your videos and have gone into the rabbit hole of this series. The way you speak to people, how caring and empathetic you are is wonderful to see. We need more people like this to bring attention to all these things. Love this videos!
you should do one called i spent a day with people who have sensory disorder recently got diagnosed and there’s not a lot of updated videos about it love your video and i’m a huge fan!
Anthony, I think you should interview Elan school survivors. Currently I'm reading Joe vs Elan School written by an actual survivor and I find it really interesting. I think it would be great to hear other people's story
God bless that black woman for how she handled the situation and all the rough aftermath, and she still put her love and faith in God. Very inspiring. God bless her 🙏🏻
"What a stupid way to die." It's worth considering, people facing/dying a stupid death, and the possibility we could ALL experience stupid death. Not DOING something stupid; just bizarre circumstances we couldn't imagine or prevent. Surviving loved ones inventing inaccurate explanations, when the unknowable truth is just...STUPID! Sometimes a kid's obsession with coasts is just a cigar, ya know?
Normally I don't really comment but I thought it would be very important that I tell you, Anthony, that I think you are SUCH an important person in my life. By giving ALL these different kinds of people with different kinds of life experiences a voice and by treating them with such respect you are showing me over and over again that there is really no limit to respect towards others. You could easily be doing something else with your fame and that would also be completely fine. But just the fact that you chose to go the extra mile and do ... this. It tells something about you. You are a wonderful person. BYE

It is terrifying init
Stay safe. 💜

Horrible event. Stay safe ❤️
Just more reason for me to never leave home unarmed. I'm never willing to be a victim and won't let me friends be either.
I just hope I never have to use it
I find it the hardest to put myself into the shoes of the guy that was kidnapped by the pirates. When he was finally free, the world he came back to was different. Just the changes that must've stuck out to him. Knowing you were stuck in a place for a long time also meaning you missed everything else outside that place. Just a total disconnect to the world. Finally entering the place you call home and making yourself a nice breakfast in the morning the next day when you wake up. It must've feel so surreal.
Lockdowns would have been a cakewalk!
From my understanding, people have this same experience coming out of prison.
The world moves so fucking fast.
I remember reading a reddit post that had a question like that. And people were commenting stories about such things. One that stuck out to me was a dude going to prison just before smartphones really just exploded. He was in for years and he came out, and had a mental breakdown seeing the world so so soooo different. Some really struggled because prison didn't prepare them for this and many severely struggled becoming just a regular citizen in society. Simply because they had to LEARN everything, and then keep up with the pace of it changing.
So wild
And also the fact two years of your life were stolen from you
@@linanafie8571 not stolen. Granted after doing the crime.
@@zokazokarai8758 dude what ?
My sister & her (now ex-) wife were suppose to go & meet up with friends at Pulse that night. I feel horrible saying this sometimes, but I’m so happy that they were tired that night. There were some frantic, panicking late night phone calls & immediate relief. That relief turned into horror & compassion, equally, as they found out that five of their friends didn’t make it out.
My sister & her wife both worked at Universal Studios at the time, her wife specifically worked in Harry Potter World & friends with Luis Vielma, who also worked at HP World. To this day, neither one of them can or have gone to the Pulse memorial. It’s too hard. Just knowing I could’ve lost my sister than night, I can’t even start to fathom how any of the victims’ families, friends & loved ones felt/are feeling. I try not to feel guilty for those emotions but it’s difficult at times. How can someone who wasn’t even a victim of this heinous hate crime have ‘survivor’s guilt’ because my sister didn’t go & therefore lived? Friggin ridiculous. The Pulse shooting still feels raw for many in Florida, especially Central Floridians.
Damn man I hope she gets better
FIVE FRIENDS?! FIVE?!?! Oh my god. That pain is unimaginable. I’m so sorry for her 😔
@@supremecurmuncher8398 Ya know, to tell ya the truth, we haven’t talked about it for a long time. I think it’s (unintentionally) kind of been an unspoken topic, but I should check in with my sister, at least. I’ll think of that as a positive in the ‘win’ column. ☺️
I'm sure you realize this already, but you should never feel guilty for feeling grateful your family avoided/survived this sort of tragedy while others didn't. You did nothing wrong.
As for getting over that feeling, idk what actions you can take to heal, but there'ye surely out there awaiting your discovery.
The way you feel is valid and justified. Always remember that. Survivors guilt is difficult, and you should forgive yourself for having these emotions.
i really appreciate Anthony including Patience not wanting to recount the Pulse story. So respectful.
@Reese x you're so right! i think there's a certain voyeurism and cheap sensationalism to dissecting every little detail of a huge tragedy ("journalists" really should stop doing that) and I'm so glad Anthony is more professional and empathetic than that
@@gpgp1841 right!!
I’m glad he included it, but I don’t understand why she agreed to this interview if she didn’t want to talk about it
@@greenbeantm1096 maybe she really wanted to focus on how she got passed it and the editing made it really short. maybe she have said much more.
@@greenbeantm1096 her story still had value even if she's not willing or able to recount all the awful details
I really appreciated what Linda said about some of the captors being trapped in their own regime. As an Iranian-Canadian, this is definitely the struggle I see. Most Iranians are not in support of the regime but you don't really have a choice when you live there. The disgusting acts of the government put a bad name on the people that live there, even though they're seeking freedom themselves.
It was very empathetic of her to consider that. Unfortunately I'm not surprised by the Iranian government and what they put her through.
I was the gal who spoke on Anthony's show about being Iranian just a few weeks ago, and I'm right there with you. Unfortunately when people share their experiences online, we can accidentally paint all of Iran as a horrible place. In reality, Iranians are held captive by their own government, and they don't want it to be happening in the first place. They are beautiful people with a beautiful culture and situations like this don't represent the majority of the country.

You know, Michael's story is so inspirational, last December I had this massive school project that's really important, me and my friends topic that we chose, was about Somalian pirates, and somehow Michael agreed to do an interview with us on Zoom about his experience held captive. And thanks to him we'd succeeded pretty well and got the highest grade possible, Thank you, Michael, you're the definition of a legend!
Broooo lluuucckkkyyyy!!!!!! You actually got to talk to him
As a person who lived trough a severe trauma i hate the idea of “forgiveness” and the idea that I HAVE TO FORGIVE THEM. No I don’t, not one us needs to forgive, EVER. And it annoys me to no end when people tell me i “need” to forgive them. I don’t. I’ve moved on, i’ve stopped thinking about them. They don’t matter to me anymore, but i did not forgive them. And i never will, but i have healed. So this idea that the ONLY way to heal is to forgive is completely untrue and to me it was very harmful and forced me deeper into a corner. So yeah just here to say that forgiveness isn’t mandatory for healing, and if you try to force it, it will do more harm.
im so happy about how he handles all topics with such care, i feel truly comfortable with him, thank you so much anthony

DO NOT IMITATE LORD AXXL!!!
So great to see Anthony doing wel and being supported by a growing base of subscribers. He’s bringing light to important topics as well
"Let me dream again" was such a powerful quote. You don't realize how much you lose from trauma until you realize you don't have dreams anymore. Until you realize that everything has lost its spark and nothing means as much as it did before. Working through and confronting your trauma is one of the hardest things a person can do.
It’s weird how I often see a comment as soon as the person says the quote in the comment
Anyone else think he should do spending a day with suicide survivors? I've survived twice and would love to see other perspectives
Thank you so much for sticking around.
Glad you are still around. Stay strong! 💕
I know we don’t know each other, but I have to say I’m proud of you 💚
I'm glad your still around! 🤍
Glad you’re here with us ❤️
I feel like Patience is still very much on her journey, she said a number of self-help talking points that are encouraging and nice to hear but don't go too far beyond that, though if it's helping her now then that's awesome. But also, what the fvck would I know.
I feel you on this
Sometimes you just gotta keep saying the good shit out loud til it sticks. I haven't been through anything like this myself but I've been through other trauma and have chronic pain and its a coping mechanism that works. Doesn't mean there's not truth in the good things she's repeating though 🥰
And she couldn’t talk about it either
Honestly I got that feeling as well, as someone who was violently assaulted (in several ways) and threatened with death several times in one night in 2020. I saw a lot of me in her. A lot of hope, a lot of ‘putting on a brave face’, even some forced forgiveness (I tried to forgive my abuser not because they deserved it, but because I did) and found that I probably will never fully forgive them. She also speaks a lot about how it seemed to happen for a reason, something I had drilled into me at the start of my journey (which I do not personally agree with). This is in no way hateful towards Patience, I genuinely wish her the best and think that she is a wonderful wonderful person. I’m just pointing out that I can see she’s still very much vulnerable and in the relatively early stages of processing all of what happened to her.
@@desykee3088 I agree with everything else here, but not talking about it really isn't a sign of anything. It can be a sign of not yet being able to talk about it - and it can also be a sign of finally having learned to put up some boundaries after a traumatic event. I say that because I've been through trauma myself and never had any problems with talking about it. In fact I often felt like I had to. For the last few months I have not talked about it unless I really wanted to (for example, in therapy), just to try things out and also learn some boundaries. Because oftentimes I feel like I have to explain something and now I'm learning that I ... don't. People often simply don't care that much. I'll do that until I no longer have the feeling that I somehow owe it to people to talk about it and when I reach that point, I'll probably find some sort of middle ground. But I often feel like I have to see both extremes to find that middle ground.
And I also know a lot of traumatized people personally, who chose at some point in their life to not talk about it (or at least not always), simply because you don't owe people your story. Regardless of whether or not you are "healed enough" to be able to talk about it.
Michael's story is one that I've taken many a deep dive into, he seems like such a lovely guy and clearly has an incredibly strength of spirit. He's done podcasts and stuff talking about his experiences if anyone wants to find out more, just search his name.
You don’t say! I even got to interview him about his experience for a school project 😅
@@ProcesifyYT ah no way!
While it's so important for everyone to go through their traumas and recovery in their own ways, with whatever beliefs or habits or choices that help them, I think there's an important footnote that needs to be made about the idea of victimhood and forgiveness. Victim, survivor, and champion are not mutually exclusive states or experiences. No one is a victim because they choose to be - and forgiveness is so important for some people and takes immense strength, but that doesn't mean that those who do not or cannot forgive are wrong or weak. Forgiveness is a choice, and it's not the only one, it's just one of many powerful options.
What you said is absolutely incredible, beautiful and 100% true :) because I really feel like very often we, or the people feel "forced" to forgive someone who hurt them deeply! But sometimes it's just too hard to get rid of the poison this way. You said it extremely well, there are numerous and a large number of ways to get rid of this poison, forgiveness ain't the only one and that's okay! You don't need to forgive because sometimes it's not the best option and can even end up hurting you and destroy you more (I know this from personal experience).
agreed
Literally, it's a very Christian believe, like you need to forgove to be q good person and go to heaven or what not. This I the very definition of making a victim feel like the bad guy if they don't want to forgive and forget.
This needs to be waaay higher up! ❤
@Mann Person you can forgive without forgetting. you don’t just forget something that traumatic and terrifying, but you can forgive the person that did it by trying to see their side
3 years!?!? I can’t even fathom being held captive that long, it sounds truly horrific. Michael you are a strong man!

Easy answer. She’s faking it. She is dying inside
Yes. It's been years. It's not unfathomable.
You're acting like they got imprisoned for 20 years, tortured every day.
@@johnbaldwell3395 Now, I don't know Patience, but I do know myself and I grew up in organized crime (child pornography), so ... yes, people can be happy. The brain has this miraculous mechanism called dissociation to shield you from those feelings. You don't live your life thinking about it all the time. You don't live your life feeling those feelings all of the time. You probably don't think all the time about that one time you had something bad happen to you - and really, it's the same with trauma. The only difference is that a) traumatic events have way more triggers (that make you think of them) and b) WHEN you think of them, it's obviously worse than thinking about some random bad memory.
And even if you think about it, you don't necessarily feel those feelings all the time. I mean, I'm obviously thinking about my childhood right now, because I'm writing this, but it honestly just feels like it didn't happen to me - like it happened to someone else (again, dissociation). That's a very common thing with trauma. You just don't feel like it happened to you.
@@drm.himself bruh. you act like PTSD isnt real. you don't HAVE To be impriosoned for 20 years and tortured every day to be scarred for life. Are you saying you can watch your friend be killed (when it was just supposed to be a night out ) and be 100% ok the next day? wow

I went through something that was domestic and pales in comparison to these stories. That being said I can say being held against your will and not knowing if you are going to make it out alive and the things that transpire between that door locking and you being free can really screw with your head for a lifetime.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I can speak for myself that for years even though I was free I still felt locked behind that door. And the terror that I had felt for years while followed locked away followed me for years. BUT there IS hope.
Medications combined with different forms of therapy can bring about healing. For me personally doing years of CBT was very helpful.
I still deal with some symptoms of PTSD, but it is absolutely nothing compared to what I used to live with. Hope exists. Don't give up. Healing is possible💖💜.

I don't think you have to forgive everything but at the same time you can stop feeling hatred and you can shift ur attention to moving on from that traumatic experience . Leave the hatred to the universe, whatever is going to happen to that person, leave it to karma don't waste ur time thinking about it.
I agree fully, though sometimes I have seen some "positive" people using statements of people who went through such stuff and being like "see, if they forgave for this then you have no excuse" and I find this misuse despicable
@@agatazietek9098 Yes I don't agree with this narrative that we have to forgive everything. I think this is reinforced by catholicism so most people have this mentality. Jesus can forgive everything because he is Jesus, he even gave his life to people but we ain't him so if the person wants to ask for forgiveness to god because they are sorry or to feel better is up to them, I believe God/universe whatever you wanna call it created karma or the law of return to teach these people lessons for the bad things they did so the victm doesn't have to worry about revenge , the people who were hurt don't have to forgive their actions, the victims just have to move on, they deserve to move on plus is God who is supossed to be merciful, we are just people.
Man, I really can't imagine being in this kind of situation. Not only being in the risk of death would be scary but the worst part is seeing people die around me.

Reminder that Patience’s path does not have to be yours. It is possible to heal while still considering yourself a victim and not forgiving those who hurt you, the most important thing is to leave plenty of room for other self-descriptors and feelings other than resentment.
I love that you let Patience sit out on the retelling without cutting her out completely. I thought she would be gone after declining to describe the events, but to see her share her afterthoughts and reflections was wonderful. She was just as important and telling as the other two, and I thank you for including her decision to not relive her trauma.

Anyone else think an episode about sexual assault would be “good”? I went through it myself, about ten years, and think hearing people talk about it when I was little and it was still happening would have meant so much.
This really felt like watching an episode of “I Survived”. Anthony always does such a great job with these videos. Very happy that these people survived to tell their stories. Thank you to Anthony and his team for giving them this platform to do so! ❤️
I think it would be cool to do a “spending a day with people who’s parent(s) passed away at a young age”👀

Did your parents pass away when you were young? Or are you just horribly bland? You're probably still young.

Being an orphan and raised by people other than your parents (maybe even having to raise yourself and your siblings) would definitely be interesting.
Losing just one parent though doesn't sound as interesting, to be honest, since there are so many single parent households out there.

The pulse shooting hit me really hard when it happened. So Patience's words were really nice to hear.
i was held hostage by my partner for two entire days while being viciously battered. he tried to break my jaw. gauge my eyes. strangled me until i had a seizure. i also lost my mom during that time. he kept me in his garage on the last day for 10 hours . when i finally got away and got medical attention i had a traumatic brain injury... i never want to experience such evil again. im still not okay and have severe ptsd and i became completely agoraphobic for some months... im starting a new job soon and trying to begin my life but it hurts everyday knowing what he inflicted on me. i used to love my smile and now have broken teeth. I cant look people in the eye. I cant go most places like the grocery store or im severely triggered. im only 24.. i hope i can keep going
Can't answer to that.... I can say a friend is happily married to her spouse.. a spouse whose ex-wife put him in a coma for two years. and same ex-wife is still in jail and has several more years to go. He has seizures, sometimes bad plus ptsd. And said friend and husband love each other forever. whether that helps or not no idea. I just know them

Sometimes I feel really bad for Anthony. I’m thankful we have someone out here covering the heavy stuff but it makes me wonder if he struggles after these interviews. I know I would. Like how could you sleep after hearing so many traumatic situations and in such detail???
But I’m over here with the blankets over my head watching Ozark with one eye closed.. so don’t mind me 🤦♀️
Why would you feel bad for someone that's doing something on purpose. They're doing it. Their fault if they're affected by it.
@@drm.himself I agree with that too. 💯
@@drm.himself true
The woman who managed to forgive and try to understand the shooter is just amazing. I could NEVER do that. I haven't been through it and I STILL hate shooters with a passion. Her message is truly one that is important to get ut there.
Pulse nightclub massacre still will make me feel such a sense of dread and utter sadness. It's that realisation that no matter how many rights you might have as someone who is queer/LGBTQ+, there are people out there who are willing to kill you based off of who you love and who you are.
Anthony could you do a I spent a day with people with eating disorders? As someone who is in recovery from anorexia I think it’s really important to spread awareness about this topic and also I think a lot of people can relate. Thank you ❤️
Shut up. I don't want to look at sagging women.
@@drm.himself do you have anything better to do
@@jhwardius Do you? Awfully dumb of you.
@@drm.himself are you mentally stable.
@@drm.himself shut up
loved today's video. we need more people to be like Anthony when interviewing on these really sensitive and traumatic stories/experiences.
No, we don't.
@@drm.himself Where's your off button??
@@rennosance In my ass.
You're so creative. Where's YOUR off button? Your comments are going to give me tumors.
@@drm.himself So be it lmao. You have 76 comments on this channel and every single one is just spreading negative vibes around? Welp, guess your mom drank too much alcohol during her pregnancy. Take a break, bro. Hating on people is a exhausting job.
@@rennosance believe me, there will be more
I know i am just another comment under a video, but I wanted to say thank you for making videos on all topics and getting peoples stories out there. and for always being respectful for those on your show and welcoming them in such a caring manner and for all in all being a good person. We need more people like you in the world. So thank you.
This is scary to watch, my heart goes out to them ❤️
I feel like you should try to find and interview people who plan for apocalypses, why do they do this, what makes them so afraid they have to do this, what do they think is going to end the world, these are some questions I would like to say to them just the way a humans mind work is so interesting and what causes they would have and hearing straight from the horse's mouth.
I love how this comment section is always so damn respectful! It helps people learning 🥰
You are so kind and caring to your visitors I love how you understand they are probably sensitive and you go so easy on them I love your channel :D
Shut up.
Don't use that :D, use an actual emoji
@@drm.himself you need to shut up, go touch grass
@@charlie8344 do have a problem with it? It was just faster for me to do at the time
@@charlie8344 Also why? (I’m not trying to stir you up or offend you I’m just curious)
I'm honestly just finding this content and I'm BINGEING allt he episodes. I am amazed at how brave and strong these survivors are, I hope they all continue to heal
british embassy: i think you have some of our people
Iranian ministry: oh yeah, oops
*spy game 100*
Anthony, I would just like to say I just started watching your videos and have gone into the rabbit hole of this series. The way you speak to people, how caring and empathetic you are is wonderful to see. We need more people like this to bring attention to all these things. Love this videos!
you should do one called i spent a day with people who have sensory disorder recently got diagnosed and there’s not a lot of updated videos about it love your video and i’m a huge fan!
The hell is a sensory disorder? Don't tell me. Shut up.
@@drm.himself my guy youre just arguing with everyone in the comment section please calm down
@@atlas9488 this is a reply section, I hate when people confuse the comment section and reply section. Take this as a lesson
Anthony, I think you should interview Elan school survivors. Currently I'm reading Joe vs Elan School written by an actual survivor and I find it really interesting. I think it would be great to hear other people's story
that must have been so tough, i hope they’re doing well
No, shut up.
@@drm.himself weirdo 💀
God bless that black woman for how she handled the situation and all the rough aftermath, and she still put her love and faith in God. Very inspiring. God bless her 🙏🏻
Pulse still invokes a sick feeling when I think about it. As a central floridian and a member of the LGBTQ+ it hit so close to home.
you should interview recovering/recovered alcoholics / addicts :)
"What a stupid way to die."
It's worth considering, people facing/dying a stupid death, and the possibility we could ALL experience stupid death. Not DOING something stupid; just bizarre circumstances we couldn't imagine or prevent. Surviving loved ones inventing inaccurate explanations, when the unknowable truth is just...STUPID! Sometimes a kid's obsession with coasts is just a cigar, ya know?
stories like these sends genuine chills to my spine
Normally I don't really comment but I thought it would be very important that I tell you, Anthony, that I think you are SUCH an important person in my life. By giving ALL these different kinds of people with different kinds of life experiences a voice and by treating them with such respect you are showing me over and over again that there is really no limit to respect towards others.
You could easily be doing something else with your fame and that would also be completely fine. But just the fact that you chose to go the extra mile and do ... this. It tells something about you. You are a wonderful person.
BYE
Patience is such a beautiful name
What I like about Antony’s interview is that he treats people with respect and humility
My best friend was part of the pulse shooting and I wish she healed like this woman did but in a more... authentic way.
Thankyou so much anthony for interviewing these people you are amazing and this series is too
