Benjamin Schuster it is yea I love Andrew and my « friends » and gf were making fun of him while I knew in my head I was on the same level so then saying all this was like me being sad or irritated
I won’t bore you with the details cuz it’s a mess but.... I’m struggling lmao. It’s comforting to see so many in the comments feeling the same. We in this together. Love ya Andrew
Just read an easy to understand translation of the Bible like the NLT and read into John, James, Colossians, Philippians, and 1 Peter. Then as you're reading, stop and pray into what you're reading. God will do the rest. God bless you man, I pray you find the true peace, joy, and freedom that Jesus Christ offers us
@@alexandrefurneribeiro3265 thank you for commenting this, most people brush comments-section-preachers off as con-men but I can tell you believe this. I am currently working to be sober and stop being a slave to bad habits, and I've found a huge amount of help in the God of the bible. Can recommend.
I feel your 2nd point dude, whats funny is today i start a job at an amazon warehouse and i'm watching this to pass the time cus i'm nervous. I never wanted to get this job but i'm hoping it'll get me out of my shell instead of being so isolated. I've been isolated for years and it's made me soft to the way of the world. It's good pay though and i hope to use the money to make my shopify store successful so i can be self-employed. Anyway that's enough about me xD sorry for rambling
I look forward to these a lot. I really like this format like I'm keeping up with an old pal (outside of the Instagram bits). Turns out my introspection and train of thought is not just my own. I have been talking to a girl for 9 months. She moved out here, met me, kissed me, fucked me, and then she stopped talking to me. It hurt so much because I feel like she got to know the real me and then rejected who I am as a whole. And trying to talk to people, whether it's bartending at the beach or just talking to people I run into, I've been second guessing myself. I sound like a clingy, self conscious asshole. I have been so focused on work and surviving month to month, that I think I forgot my own personality, my interests, my passions. I've been working so hard (65 hour weeks) and yet after the bills, I might have $500 bucks left. I miss making music. Maybe my music isn't that good. I miss painting and making art. Maybe I'm not inspired enough. I was always the funny one. I don't smile or laugh on my own anymore. I'm so fucking lost right now. Why do I feel like this? I just kind of want someone to give me a hug and tell me it's okay and to start creating again. Sorry. I took your advice just now and I don't care if anyone reads it. It's just better than sitting in my room not saying a word. Thank you.
Hey man, use the pain that you have and release it into your art and music. Instead of focussing on what other people may think of you, focus on expressing yourself artistically as that is what it seems may be your passion. Life is pretty weird. Abandon your expectations of "how to live" and try just living the way you want to! Obviously, you'll still need to conform to society and probably maintain that 65 hour job but don't let that job be the sole of your existence. We are all so much more than workers. Do the things that make YOU happy. We're all going to die one day, so why not create an exciting experience of life for yourself?
@@Mirrsea Connor, you're the man. Thank you. Thank you so so much. It feels weird typing to a stranger, maybe because I think it's a burden in my real life. But your thoughtful response meant the world to me, And you're right. 100%.
No worries man! Now go out and apply it! That's the hardest part. For me, constantly reminding myself that I am not the thoughts in my head helps. I think a major part of freedom is mind control. If you can learn how to control your emotions, negative thoughts, and self-destructive behaviours than all you have left is positive thoughts and happiness. Enjoy life man. I may be a complete stranger but I'm still a human living on the same rock in space as you are.
Hey man, I know how it is with the hours. In terms of creating, I would just start back up small with a short verse, small sketch, or whatever. I have found myself wanting to create a big project, but get analysis paralysis and don't even start. So it has been helpful for me to just start and not be afraid to make mistakes.
I love this man and his content so much. I recently bought a durden watch (best watch I’ve ever owned) and I was pleasantly surprised when it came with an autograph on the receipt. Definitely made my month. Thanks dad.
Yeah it's really a difficult thing. And a really important thing as well. Try contacting some childhood friends or old classmates if they're in the same city maybe you'll find that you have similar hobbies or some activities to do
Man I hope one day if I ever get to meet Andrew, he’ll let me give him a good ol manly hug. Absolutely the realest, sincere RUclipsr there is. I ain’t gay, I just love Andrew. ❤️
I feel like I’m a zombie . Going day to day with no purpose or ambition . I have no hope for the future because I don’t care enough . I am lonely all the time and I have no motivation to change any of this . I will die alone and I won’t care because I can’t feel anything anymore . How are you ?
I feel this too homie. Something i've found helps tho is to find a passion and put your motivation/energy into bettering yourself by getting good at it. Its super easy to get distracted nowadays, and people forget about their hopes and dreams, but you gotta find what interests you put your entire life force into it. Once you start seeing your own accomplishments, you will start feeling more positive about yourself, ya kno? Neva quit dude.
Since you’re asking I’m doin ok. Had a girlfriend for about 3 weeks and was ready for something real with someone I have so much in common with. It was really good with her. She couldn’t handle the distance though, college getting in the way and such so she broke it off. Can’t stop thinking about what could’ve been, but I’ll move on soon I’m sure. Your vlogs are very special to me for how real they and you are. I feel like your friend as weird as that sounds. Thanks
That's rough man, I'm just glad she cut it off before I could get really attached. I can't imagine what you've gone through though. Keep your head up :)
Man I’m tired of this, of everything. It doesn’t matter how much sleep 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, shit doesn’t make me feel better. I force myself to get up. It’s almost impossible. It feels like I’m super hungover. I’ve tried medication it works, but it has too many side effects. I was on it for 2 years on max dosage and one day I just decided to stop taking it. Looking back on those 2 years I see hardly anything. I don’t remember much from that time. It all kind of felt like a dream or some kind of simulation. Now I’m here, 3ish years later, going to trade school, but I don’t think it’s what I want to do, so I might switch trades. My dad started drinking again so that’s just some more shit I gotta deal with. 5 years sober and out of nowhere he starts in again. I’m not going to deal with it, I’m moving out soon probably. When he started in a week ago I got into an argument with him which turned into a yelling match. It’s weird listening to your dad lie straight to your face. He told me he wasn’t drinking and hasn’t drank at all. Fuckin 10 minutes later after digging through the garage I found the hidden bottle and left it on the kitchen counter for him to see. Next day he tries talking to me like nothing ever happened, no apology nothing. But I’m not going to let him take me down. I’m done. Time to move on.
Hey Andrew, We're in this together! We love you! And you're teaching us a lot of things and if you're ever low on motivation, think about all the things that you've been blessed with and all that can be and go deeper into that,Into specifics and then work towards keeping' it real! Like get that vision, Like "Pop In a Bluray" but in your mind! Peace bro! Respect and love. The interviews are great! The vlogs are awesome!
You're a good guy, I've been watching you for a long time and I've always really felt connected to your videos more so than any other youtubers. I'm not doing the greatest, I stopped taking my anti anxiety medication in May to see how I felt, and I've had a pretty rough go. The thing is though, the shit just makes me feel like everything is the same. I always feel the same, even if i feel like i should be feeling something, I don't. I'd rather feel not great than feel nothing at all, yenno? I don't like feeling numb. I also feel like the way i create my art is completely different when I'm on medication. Really, I don't feel crazy, or out of my mind, I just feel like i can express myself more freely, at the cost of sometimes not being able to leave my apartment. That's another thing too, I just got my own place, but unfortunately had to quit my old job because of the move, so I'm kinda just living as frugally as possible until I can find something steady or make some money off of my art on the street. Kind of just drifting in life right now, but that's okay. I'll figure it out. Love you Andrew, thanks for the video update
Hi Andrew! Transferred over to a new university for my third year of psychology. Right now how I'm doing, obviously stressed with a midterm tomorrow, three next week, and a lab and assignment due in two days...got a routine going now living on the campus (mainly study, class, gym, study, and try to eat right and timely) but having a real hard time meeting people, yet alone girls. I've tried a couple approaches, as in two, and I've signed up for a badminton club and I do put myself out there. I try and go to as many events as I can in my building and I'm always reading posters of things going on around when I got time. I do have two friends living in the city, one on the campus, he has a gf so I'm kinda just needing to meet people to meet people you know? I help him lots with his start up app which is basically a Facebook/tinder for my university so maybe that'll eventually help me meet some friends. I'll give it some time not too worried about it. Maybe the thing I'm most worried about is having regrets from my university experience.
approached two people? I'm in college and i approahced about 70 girsl so far. Finally had 2 dates last week and one next week. You gotta approach more. Respect for approaching though. Dating apps are dead for most men. I suggest on your way to class or to the gym if you see someone cute talk to them.
okc account forgot, did actually meet one girl at the gym but that things didn't line up with her on the day of. You're right, appreciate that. Way to class definitely a time to or as I'm waiting outside a class, ask about an assignment or anything just to get it off the ground. All the best with your dates man I'll catch up!!!
@@zVortex- Nice dude. Yeah. Sadly I've found cold approaching women to be a numbers game. It hasn't been terribly efficient, which is why I tend to do it if I happen to see someone throughout my day. I don't go out for hours meeting random women like I used to. I think best to spend that time working on my passions or school or gym. I've also learned by now at age 27 women won't make you happy. You have to be happy and live a fulfilling life and women are kind of the cherry on top. But good to hear you're taking action and I'm glad you have these skills to approach women at an earlier age. The thing that helped me most when approaching is to self amuse.
okc account love the words of advice. Notes taken. Honestly, I'm going to refer back to this comment thread between us for some time because you're right, women are a cherry on top of your own self-happiness and contentment. I'm finally realizing that but will need a reminder every so often. Appreciate you man! All the best to you from 🇨🇦!
It hurts when someone tells you something and you know it's true. Sometimes 'driven people' don't understand 'lazy people' and act like we just want to be like this. I would give all the money in my wallet to be motivated and driven and some people don't realize this.
That's what make motivational speakers rich, they profit from this deep need, if only we could tell to ourselves the tales that could put us on track and give a sense to our lifes and it'd feel authentic.
“Hold on what? I really don’t like myself right now” I have those moments every single day. It’s weird knowing you’re acting strange and hating it but not knowing how to change it’s weird and depersonalizing as hell
RepresentWV focus on your studies I’m going back to college soon my girl dumped me so i thought it was a great idea because i also have nothing to do but will be much more beneficial after all
In college too, shits tough out here, we really stressing, and it feels a bit lonely sometimes. Actually recently stopped talking to a girl. When Andrew said "it sucks when you're with someone, and you can tell when they really like you, and you don't like them". That hit. I felt bad telling her I didn't want to see her anymore. I usually don't comment.
Also, thank you for opening up about the one who got away. It's so very relatable and maybe chiché to say, but that part of your life was an important stepping stone for your growth as a person. And cutting it short may have been necessary, for both your sake and hers.
yea totally true , these kind of stepping stones play such an important role and I think everybody needs and even will have to face them sooner or later. but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel! shits can get really bad but we all gotta fight out and try to live our best lifes and then we find peace! peace out
Thanks for asking Andrew. So I’ve been pretty lonely since college started and sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. The stress has been mounting and I feel like I don’t know who I am or where I’m headed.
I got into an accident and they totaled my truck, then I lost my job because I couldn’t make it into work for about two weeks. So I just bought a car and I’m still looking for a new job. So it’s stressful. I feel your emotions
At some point in the last year I started watching your videos. I first came across one of the "chatting with" videos. I think what struck me the most was that you are very genuine. One thing that I wonder though is whether or not it gets to your head when people tell you you're genuine? Is it hard to remain yourself when people constantly tell you you are yourself? Your videos feel very real and like a presence of a real person, so it feels comfortable to be around, instead of someone to aspire to (or someone who is selling us products). I just don't know if I would be able to continuously put out genuine thoughts into the world without trying to present myself in a certain light...seriously. For that your channel is really great. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this video, its soothing to know (I want to say that someone is depressed with me ) but that sounds off. Thank you for just opening up and being real. I am going through a rough time myself with anxiety/lack confidence/depression and... idk what to do.
We love you Andrew and thank you for these videos. Your monthly videos are the ones I always look forward too. I always watch them when I am done cooking my breakfast. With a cup of coffee, green tea and a full mason jar of water.
Thanks for sharing that story, it’s always super interesting to hear about those real, sometimes heartbreaking times that people go through. As everyone else says here, you keep it very real on the vlogs and it’s just nice to be here and hear about your life. You seem happy right now, which is awesome. Have a great October!
I'm in high school and hate how quickly you are expected to grow up and understand exactly what college and what you want to do. I always feel like I'm behind everyone else and just don't feel motivated to do much and usually procrastinate on everything. Your videos help me get past all that shit as you are like the only genuine dude out there anymore. Everyone else on this site just seems like they are putting on a show whereas you acknowledge your flaws, and that's something that we as a society should appreciate more than we do.
@@Steven27421 Nah bro im in college rn. Forgot I made this comment tbh, I'm doing a lot better, I struggled a lot in my first couple semesters at college but I switched majors and now I'm doing something I genuinely like now. I used to compare myself to others but now I feel like I have a great set of friends who don't rlly care about that. As much as I can say, do what you love or whatever, I still feel like you shouldn't JUST pursue personal fulfillment or JUST fulfill making as much money as possible but find a balance. Both of them seem pretty shallow. Good luck
i feel you man. been there. i've also been needy, clingy, created drama, was selfish. i was glad to gain closure after 4years. still feel ashamed of my actions from time to time
What's really stressing me out: - financial situation - balancing school with work - need to work out more - what I am going to do with the rest of my life
Andrew Brother I just wanted to take the time and say how much I respect what you do. I relate to how you express life and I totally get where your coming from about all this. Brother tour a good guy and loved and adored by so many. Keep searching man, thank you for setting an example of being true self. Blessing Bro
You’ve managed to stay one of the most entertaining you tubers I follow since the beginning of lahwf. Vlogs only once a month is tough though. I just like how your vlogs are so real. Just straight stream of consciousness and shit happening in your life. The overproduction of vlogs gets old.
What is stressing me out? I feel like a failure ,i feel like all my friends are moving up in life in general ,but I'm not really ,on some days i feel motivated like hell and on others i fell like shit ,i don't know.
Karim Sherif you’re not a failure bro you’re just experiencing life in your own way. Just because it seems like people are moving past you, they’re just living life in their own ways. just calm down and accept yourself as where you are. Because truly you have no control over what others do and how they go about their life. So with this sort of thing just let it go and be emotionally neutral. And release stress by realizing that you don’t need to compare yourself to others And that you are doing the best that you can From where you stand in the present moment and how you live your life. Divine Love
Easton Forget about yesterday because if you compare yourself to yesterday you’re living in the mindset of the past. Live in the now move on from yesterday live in the now it is your present.
Easton if you have a mindset of the past you will bring a lot of guilt about thinking you’re not doing good enough because you are in the past. And if you’re living in the future you will bring a lot of worry thinking you’re not doing good enough. The past doesn’t even exist it’s all about the present moment and how you create your reality for your so-called future. The now is your present; the gift. And not many people open that gift. That’s Is one of the reasons why people stress so much from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. When simply they can just still their mind and sit here... NOW. Now when it comes to evolution make sure you’re always doing something that is having you gain knowledge so you can apply it to your life which is wisdom. Evolution meaning Helping you I love you all.
It's mind blowing to me how I truly feel a deep connection to you and Chad. I have shit going on, not a lot of shit, not super important shit but I have my own life and for some reason I look at these vlogs that you guys have made for years and I find myself comforted. I don't know if it's because it reminds me of what I was doing when I was most happy, or perhaps I was lost. I don't know. It's such a odd perspective to try to understand what draws me to these vlogs, but I look forward to these more than I do the time and energy you put forth into your actual channels. You rock Andrew. Thanks for sort of just.... being there.... lol
You're such a likable person, I appreciate your honesty. I just broke up a boyfriend of 6 months yesterday. Trying to decide now if what I did was right or not. He's often unable to take social cues or make plans or focus on school/career and it really bothered me. I'm now thinking that he might be on the spectrum (he told me he was diagnosed as a child but that he doesn't think he has it). Am I wrong for breaking up with him over something (I now realize) he maybe can't control? He always tried his best with me, cared a lot. Helped me through some trauma in the past. I had a panic attack before a midterm today. I'm really contemplating whether I should be so focused on college. It kinda makes me miserable but I guess I don't know any different? Lots of thoughts in my head. Your classic emotional wreck.
We watch these vlogs because you're authentic. It feels like you're watching your friend. You've created an intimate image, that's what we love about you - no need for manufactured likability. Keep up the content my guy, love you dog.
The writing for Gone Girl is ridiculously good. Like to be on that level of creating to construct a story so perfectly. And with David Fincher directing, it’s like all the pieces just fit together to make the perfect film. All those films are great. Breaking bad movie looks great as well. My wife and I are binge watching it. Hopefully the movie doesn’t let down because the show is so good!
Holy fuck Andrew I've been watching you since years bad times good times you've always been here sometimes more often then other times lol. I just took a swim in a lake it's almost freezing here, smoked a head of my pipe came home took a steaming hot bath and watched that whole thing. Made my evening just like talking to a friend you haven't seen in a while. Wish ya'll the best never stop uploading Andrew. Peace. :)
"Rachel, I made a huge mistake!" AHAHAH for some reason that bit cracked me up, but to be real, thankyou for your openness Andrew, I totally relate to the situation where you can tell that someone who you actually like and who previously liked you alot too is just gradually losing interest in you - it totally sucks when you said the part about how it's really so rare to find somebody that you actually vibe with, I started tearing up, cause it's so true :c
I'm actually doing really well, I guess I'm at an age where rapid change occurs but alot of it has been because of the new set of friends and social interactions I've had. My outlook on life, me leaving my religion, lifestyle, happiness, relationships etc. Has changed alot since where I was 1 year ago but I'm happy for it and I emplore everyone to make an extra effort in your social circles. Everyone is lonely and isolated and everyone is as socially anxious as the next. People secretly want friends and intimacy, but if you make it a habit to initiate that, you'll have a much better chance at making friends. Hopefully this doesn't come off as condescending but it really has helped me and some people close to me
Ive basically read every comment your community is amazing,everyone giving their own experiences in the comments and advice to eachother, these videos help me more than you could ever know and I couldnt even explain why. Thanks andrew, you'll meet the right girl soon.
I’m sorry you went through this Andrew. I can relate. This described the last few months of my relationship. It sucked. I’m mad i stayed that long, good on you for leaving when you knew enough was enough.
on the real, i’ve been on the addy and the pipe for months. thought it was helping me but i found myself sinking deeper in a darker place than i realized. 1 month sober now and im finally starting to love life again. idk if this helps and i never wanna tell anyone what to do, but i fr think going clean for a minute will give you more clarity than imaginable
I feel as if I might have some sort of psychopathy. I feel empty with only a burning desire to be loved a lot of times. I’ve worked my way up through charisma and charm but other than that I’m constantly moving on from one thing to another. Family, friends, physical achievement, love, social status. In the end I still feel very alone with this hurting desire deep in my soul. I freaking love you Andrew
Imagine hating yourself so much that each day is a struggle to get through. You have to go to work and fake happiness and pretend like you’re okay otherwise you’ll bring others down and potentially lose your job because of your attitude. Imagine thinking about suicide all day long and wanting to just end the pain and suffering. That’s what’s stressing me out.
im doing great, my social circle is amazing now, girls blatantly show interest in me, i started lifting (that’s prolly why), and my wealthy homie is taking me out to his mountain house next week to snowboard
Am I the only one who could listen to him talk all day? Something about his personality draws me into wanting to talk to him. Probably because he's actually relatable.
Sounds like you're better off without her in your life. Relationships are wiered and i'm not just talking about romantic ones. I feel you when you said "you can't force compatibility/chemistry". Multiple times i've fallen for girls who weren't right for me and I know that pain all too well. We're all works in progress and experincing hurt and emotional discomfort is just a sign that you're human and still learning and growing. Much love Andrew, thanks for all the laughs you've given us over the years.
Sipping my coffee, had to wake up at 2am to go slave away for the navy 8 hours standing at a gate checking ID's. Things are turning out well but i gotta admit, not long ago i was in a dark place. At that time it wasnt a good idea to have an M9 on me. But i made it, and now as im sipping my coffee ready to go arm up, you asked "how are you?" And i simply replied "pretty good thank you" thanks andrew. Count your blessings.
What makes me stressed is my job instability and wanting to save to buy a house before I have kids, which feels so out of reach because they're so expensive. Also finding out friends I knew most of my life who I loved so much were fake af, accepting it and moving on has been really depressing. Besides That I have a wonderful husband who loves me very much and supports me in every possible way. I have my days... life is tough man
My stress, the feeling of being lost in the grand scheme of things, not making the connections with people and procrastinating being creative then being too depressed to get on and finish my projects I have even managed to start
Just know that you are loved man. We believe in you. I know this is not an easy thing to go through, but it's okay. Take your time and go at your you own pace. You don't need to be "likeable." Just be real! Much love man 🙏🏽
A real human showing real emotions. That’s rare on RUclips in 2019.

Stop doing drugs and get a job u like then, (all jobs suck btw) there is no perfect job, man up and work it! Start working out to!
damn.. truer than I want it to be

Anyway that's enough about me xD sorry for rambling
i really wanna work in a job that i hate for the rest of my life for people that i love
Oli drdr TRUE!!!
That mini psychosis at the start when you questioned the ball throwing for bonnie was so relatable haha... I know the feeling exactly.
yea that happens to me a lot, really trippy
"Im hammered....im not hammered" nice save man
I look forward to these a lot. I really like this format like I'm keeping up with an old pal (outside of the Instagram bits). Turns out my introspection and train of thought is not just my own.
I have been talking to a girl for 9 months. She moved out here, met me, kissed me, fucked me, and then she stopped talking to me. It hurt so much because I feel like she got to know the real me and then rejected who I am as a whole. And trying to talk to people, whether it's bartending at the beach or just talking to people I run into, I've been second guessing myself. I sound like a clingy, self conscious asshole.
I have been so focused on work and surviving month to month, that I think I forgot my own personality, my interests, my passions. I've been working so hard (65 hour weeks) and yet after the bills, I might have $500 bucks left.
I miss making music. Maybe my music isn't that good. I miss painting and making art. Maybe I'm not inspired enough. I was always the funny one. I don't smile or laugh on my own anymore.
I'm so fucking lost right now. Why do I feel like this? I just kind of want someone to give me a hug and tell me it's okay and to start creating again.
Sorry. I took your advice just now and I don't care if anyone reads it. It's just better than sitting in my room not saying a word. Thank you.
Hey man, use the pain that you have and release it into your art and music. Instead of focussing on what other people may think of you, focus on expressing yourself artistically as that is what it seems may be your passion. Life is pretty weird. Abandon your expectations of "how to live" and try just living the way you want to! Obviously, you'll still need to conform to society and probably maintain that 65 hour job but don't let that job be the sole of your existence. We are all so much more than workers. Do the things that make YOU happy. We're all going to die one day, so why not create an exciting experience of life for yourself?
@@Mirrsea Connor, you're the man. Thank you. Thank you so so much. It feels weird typing to a stranger, maybe because I think it's a burden in my real life. But your thoughtful response meant the world to me, And you're right. 100%.
No worries man! Now go out and apply it! That's the hardest part. For me, constantly reminding myself that I am not the thoughts in my head helps. I think a major part of freedom is mind control. If you can learn how to control your emotions, negative thoughts, and self-destructive behaviours than all you have left is positive thoughts and happiness. Enjoy life man. I may be a complete stranger but I'm still a human living on the same rock in space as you are.

Hey man, I know how it is with the hours. In terms of creating, I would just start back up small with a short verse, small sketch, or whatever. I have found myself wanting to create a big project, but get analysis paralysis and don't even start. So it has been helpful for me to just start and not be afraid to make mistakes.

Man I hope one day if I ever get to meet Andrew, he’ll let me give him a good ol manly hug. Absolutely the realest, sincere RUclipsr there is. I ain’t gay, I just love Andrew. ❤️

I feel like I’m a zombie . Going day to day with no purpose or ambition . I have no hope for the future because I don’t care enough . I am lonely all the time and I have no motivation to change any of this . I will die alone and I won’t care because I can’t feel anything anymore . How are you ?
SHAWN glad I’m not alone !
Only thing stopping me is I've a small wiener, consider yourself lucky man its a deformity hahaha 😂😂
But I get what you're saying 100%
I feel this too homie. Something i've found helps tho is to find a passion and put your motivation/energy into bettering yourself by getting good at it. Its super easy to get distracted nowadays, and people forget about their hopes and dreams, but you gotta find what interests you put your entire life force into it. Once you start seeing your own accomplishments, you will start feeling more positive about yourself, ya kno?
Neva quit dude.

Since you’re asking I’m doin ok. Had a girlfriend for about 3 weeks and was ready for something real with someone I have so much in common with. It was really good with her. She couldn’t handle the distance though, college getting in the way and such so she broke it off. Can’t stop thinking about what could’ve been, but I’ll move on soon I’m sure.
Your vlogs are very special to me for how real they and you are. I feel like your friend as weird as that sounds. Thanks
I had a relationship such as that but it lasted longer than a year, distance was a real pain, loving feels like pain nowadays.
That's rough man, I'm just glad she cut it off before I could get really attached. I can't imagine what you've gone through though. Keep your head up :)
Well she prolly would have cheated on ya anyways mate good for you, cheers
Man I’m tired of this, of everything. It doesn’t matter how much sleep 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, shit doesn’t make me feel better. I force myself to get up. It’s almost impossible. It feels like I’m super hungover. I’ve tried medication it works, but it has too many side effects. I was on it for 2 years on max dosage and one day I just decided to stop taking it. Looking back on those 2 years I see hardly anything. I don’t remember much from that time. It all kind of felt like a dream or some kind of simulation. Now I’m here, 3ish years later, going to trade school, but I don’t think it’s what I want to do, so I might switch trades. My dad started drinking again so that’s just some more shit I gotta deal with. 5 years sober and out of nowhere he starts in again. I’m not going to deal with it, I’m moving out soon probably. When he started in a week ago I got into an argument with him which turned into a yelling match. It’s weird listening to your dad lie straight to your face. He told me he wasn’t drinking and hasn’t drank at all. Fuckin 10 minutes later after digging through the garage I found the hidden bottle and left it on the kitchen counter for him to see. Next day he tries talking to me like nothing ever happened, no apology nothing. But I’m not going to let him take me down.
I’m done. Time to move on.
woah

‘The saddest thing in life is wasted talent’’ - A Bronx tale
You're a good guy, I've been watching you for a long time and I've always really felt connected to your videos more so than any other youtubers.
I'm not doing the greatest, I stopped taking my anti anxiety medication in May to see how I felt, and I've had a pretty rough go. The thing is though, the shit just makes me feel like everything is the same. I always feel the same, even if i feel like i should be feeling something, I don't. I'd rather feel not great than feel nothing at all, yenno? I don't like feeling numb. I also feel like the way i create my art is completely different when I'm on medication. Really, I don't feel crazy, or out of my mind, I just feel like i can express myself more freely, at the cost of sometimes not being able to leave my apartment. That's another thing too, I just got my own place, but unfortunately had to quit my old job because of the move, so I'm kinda just living as frugally as possible until I can find something steady or make some money off of my art on the street. Kind of just drifting in life right now, but that's okay. I'll figure it out.
Love you Andrew, thanks for the video update
Love how real you are. You being open with your emotions is going to help you so much down the long run. Especially regarding feelings and girls
funny how you didn't include fight club as one of your movie posters lmao
he has the lahwf one
I really needed this video. Going through tough times is easier when you know you're not the only one
Long form conversation is amazing to hear from you Andrew. You’re extremely real and relatable. You should start a podcast, and give that a shot
I really feel you, the everyday battle with self criticism does get exhausting, glad you make these videos.
Hi Andrew! Transferred over to a new university for my third year of psychology. Right now how I'm doing, obviously stressed with a midterm tomorrow, three next week, and a lab and assignment due in two days...got a routine going now living on the campus (mainly study, class, gym, study, and try to eat right and timely) but having a real hard time meeting people, yet alone girls. I've tried a couple approaches, as in two, and I've signed up for a badminton club and I do put myself out there. I try and go to as many events as I can in my building and I'm always reading posters of things going on around when I got time. I do have two friends living in the city, one on the campus, he has a gf so I'm kinda just needing to meet people to meet people you know? I help him lots with his start up app which is basically a Facebook/tinder for my university so maybe that'll eventually help me meet some friends. I'll give it some time not too worried about it. Maybe the thing I'm most worried about is having regrets from my university experience.
approached two people? I'm in college and i approahced about 70 girsl so far. Finally had 2 dates last week and one next week. You gotta approach more. Respect for approaching though. Dating apps are dead for most men. I suggest on your way to class or to the gym if you see someone cute talk to them.
okc account forgot, did actually meet one girl at the gym but that things didn't line up with her on the day of. You're right, appreciate that. Way to class definitely a time to or as I'm waiting outside a class, ask about an assignment or anything just to get it off the ground. All the best with your dates man I'll catch up!!!
@@zVortex- Nice dude. Yeah. Sadly I've found cold approaching women to be a numbers game. It hasn't been terribly efficient, which is why I tend to do it if I happen to see someone throughout my day. I don't go out for hours meeting random women like I used to. I think best to spend that time working on my passions or school or gym. I've also learned by now at age 27 women won't make you happy. You have to be happy and live a fulfilling life and women are kind of the cherry on top. But good to hear you're taking action and I'm glad you have these skills to approach women at an earlier age. The thing that helped me most when approaching is to self amuse.
okc account love the words of advice. Notes taken. Honestly, I'm going to refer back to this comment thread between us for some time because you're right, women are a cherry on top of your own self-happiness and contentment. I'm finally realizing that but will need a reminder every so often. Appreciate you man! All the best to you from 🇨🇦!
These raw unfiltered talks relate on such a personal level
Love the human aspect of these videos. Makes me feel "normal."
It hurts when someone tells you something and you know it's true. Sometimes 'driven people' don't understand 'lazy people' and act like we just want to be like this. I would give all the money in my wallet to be motivated and driven and some people don't realize this.
That's what make motivational speakers rich, they profit from this deep need, if only we could tell to ourselves the tales that could put us on track and give a sense to our lifes and it'd feel authentic.
“Hold on what? I really don’t like myself right now” I have those moments every single day. It’s weird knowing you’re acting strange and hating it but not knowing how to change it’s weird and depersonalizing as hell
Stressed cuz I’m in college and not sure if things will be ok other than that I’m peachy
RepresentWV focus on your studies I’m going back to college soon my girl dumped me so i thought it was a great idea because i also have nothing to do but will be much more beneficial after all
In college too, shits tough out here, we really stressing, and it feels a bit lonely sometimes. Actually recently stopped talking to a girl. When Andrew said "it sucks when you're with someone, and you can tell when they really like you, and you don't like them". That hit. I felt bad telling her I didn't want to see her anymore. I usually don't comment.
I feel you all
" Rachel i made huge mistake " man i wish u saw me when u said that pure comedy!

I feel so lost. I had this plan and then suddenly I got the rug swept out from under me and now I have no purpose.
Keep going bro
I love this format so much, one of the most honest and rawest things I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Please keep doing these
Also, thank you for opening up about the one who got away. It's so very relatable and maybe chiché to say, but that part of your life was an important stepping stone for your growth as a person. And cutting it short may have been necessary, for both your sake and hers.
yea totally true , these kind of stepping stones play such an important role and I think everybody needs and even will have to face them sooner or later. but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel! shits can get really bad but we all gotta fight out and try to live our best lifes and then we find peace! peace out
Thanks for asking Andrew. So I’ve been pretty lonely since college started and sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. The stress has been mounting and I feel like I don’t know who I am or where I’m headed.
Do you live in a dorm or alone? Are you a member of any student associations?
Get a hobby.
I got into an accident and they totaled my truck, then I lost my job because I couldn’t make it into work for about two weeks. So I just bought a car and I’m still looking for a new job. So it’s stressful. I feel your emotions
At some point in the last year I started watching your videos. I first came across one of the "chatting with" videos. I think what struck me the most was that you are very genuine. One thing that I wonder though is whether or not it gets to your head when people tell you you're genuine? Is it hard to remain yourself when people constantly tell you you are yourself? Your videos feel very real and like a presence of a real person, so it feels comfortable to be around, instead of someone to aspire to (or someone who is selling us products). I just don't know if I would be able to continuously put out genuine thoughts into the world without trying to present myself in a certain light...seriously. For that your channel is really great. Keep up the good work.
Daddy needs to stop taking drugs whoops
Thank you for this video, its soothing to know (I want to say that someone is depressed with me ) but that sounds off. Thank you for just opening up and being real. I am going through a rough time myself with anxiety/lack confidence/depression and... idk what to do.
We missed you dad. Thanks for the upload
We love you Andrew and thank you for these videos. Your monthly videos are the ones I always look forward too. I always watch them when I am done cooking my breakfast. With a cup of coffee, green tea and a full mason jar of water.
Thanks for sharing that story, it’s always super interesting to hear about those real, sometimes heartbreaking times that people go through. As everyone else says here, you keep it very real on the vlogs and it’s just nice to be here and hear about your life. You seem happy right now, which is awesome. Have a great October!
I'm in high school and hate how quickly you are expected to grow up and understand exactly what college and what you want to do. I always feel like I'm behind everyone else and just don't feel motivated to do much and usually procrastinate on everything. Your videos help me get past all that shit as you are like the only genuine dude out there anymore. Everyone else on this site just seems like they are putting on a show whereas you acknowledge your flaws, and that's something that we as a society should appreciate more than we do.
@@Steven27421 Nah bro im in college rn. Forgot I made this comment tbh, I'm doing a lot better, I struggled a lot in my first couple semesters at college but I switched majors and now I'm doing something I genuinely like now. I used to compare myself to others but now I feel like I have a great set of friends who don't rlly care about that. As much as I can say, do what you love or whatever, I still feel like you shouldn't JUST pursue personal fulfillment or JUST fulfill making as much money as possible but find a balance. Both of them seem pretty shallow. Good luck
i feel you man. been there. i've also been needy, clingy, created drama, was selfish. i was glad to gain closure after 4years. still feel ashamed of my actions from time to time
What's really stressing me out:
- financial situation
- balancing school with work
- need to work out more
- what I am going to do with the rest of my life
Jesus saves. Find Him quickly, and turn from sin, to escape what’s coming. No more time left.
dude same.. goodluck
Andrew Brother I just wanted to take the time and say how much I respect what you do. I relate to how you express life and I totally get where your coming from about all this. Brother tour a good guy and loved and adored by so many. Keep searching man, thank you for setting an example of being true self. Blessing Bro
I feel like I’m just hearing out and listening to a friend while he vents.

You’ve managed to stay one of the most entertaining you tubers I follow since the beginning of lahwf. Vlogs only once a month is tough though.
I just like how your vlogs are so real. Just straight stream of consciousness and shit happening in your life. The overproduction of vlogs gets old.
What is stressing me out?
I feel like a failure ,i feel like all my friends are moving up in life in general ,but I'm not really ,on some days i feel motivated like hell and on others i fell like shit ,i don't know.
Karim Sherif you’re not a failure bro you’re just experiencing life in your own way. Just because it seems like people are moving past you, they’re just living life in their own ways. just calm down and accept yourself as where you are. Because truly you have no control over what others do and how they go about their life. So with this sort of thing just let it go and be emotionally neutral.
And release stress by realizing that you don’t need to compare yourself to others And that you are doing the best that you can From where you stand in the present moment and how you live your life.
Divine Love
@@YouniverSoulHealing Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment, It really helps.
@Easton That's a great rule to live by
Easton Forget about yesterday because if you compare yourself to yesterday you’re living in the mindset of the past. Live in the now move on from yesterday live in the now it is your present.
Easton if you have a mindset of the past you will bring a lot of guilt about thinking you’re not doing good enough because you are in the past. And if you’re living in the future you will bring a lot of worry thinking you’re not doing good enough.
The past doesn’t even exist it’s all about the present moment and how you create your reality for your so-called future. The now is your present; the gift. And not many people open that gift. That’s Is one of the reasons why people stress so much from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. When simply they can just still their mind and sit here... NOW.
Now when it comes to evolution make sure you’re always doing something that is having you gain knowledge so you can apply it to your life which is wisdom. Evolution meaning Helping you
I love you all.
Much respect for being so real, Andrew.
The world needs more people like you.
I found your channels about 2 months ago and haven't stopped bingeing since. 😍😍😍
It's mind blowing to me how I truly feel a deep connection to you and Chad. I have shit going on, not a lot of shit, not super important shit but I have my own life and for some reason I look at these vlogs that you guys have made for years and I find myself comforted. I don't know if it's because it reminds me of what I was doing when I was most happy, or perhaps I was lost. I don't know. It's such a odd perspective to try to understand what draws me to these vlogs, but I look forward to these more than I do the time and energy you put forth into your actual channels. You rock Andrew. Thanks for sort of just.... being there.... lol
i remember when the king of adderall docu came out i felt the same as you super glad youre open about this stuff dude. love you dog!!
You're such a likable person, I appreciate your honesty.
I just broke up a boyfriend of 6 months yesterday. Trying to decide now if what I did was right or not. He's often unable to take social cues or make plans or focus on school/career and it really bothered me. I'm now thinking that he might be on the spectrum (he told me he was diagnosed as a child but that he doesn't think he has it). Am I wrong for breaking up with him over something (I now realize) he maybe can't control? He always tried his best with me, cared a lot. Helped me through some trauma in the past.
I had a panic attack before a midterm today. I'm really contemplating whether I should be so focused on college. It kinda makes me miserable but I guess I don't know any different?
Lots of thoughts in my head. Your classic emotional wreck.
Just keep going forward.
I've got 32 days sober from weed and alcohol and im working on getting my life together. That's my main focus right now.
We watch these vlogs because you're authentic. It feels like you're watching your friend. You've created an intimate image, that's what we love about you - no need for manufactured likability. Keep up the content my guy, love you dog.
The writing for Gone Girl is ridiculously good. Like to be on that level of creating to construct a story so perfectly. And with David Fincher directing, it’s like all the pieces just fit together to make the perfect film. All those films are great. Breaking bad movie looks great as well. My wife and I are binge watching it. Hopefully the movie doesn’t let down because the show is so good!
Durden > Rolex
Adam Johnson I’ll buy one of his watches just because you made actual maths here😂

Holy fuck Andrew I've been watching you since years bad times good times you've always been here sometimes more often then other times lol.
I just took a swim in a lake it's almost freezing here, smoked a head of my pipe came home took a steaming hot bath and watched that whole thing.
Made my evening just like talking to a friend you haven't seen in a while.
Wish ya'll the best never stop uploading Andrew. Peace. :)
"Rachel, I made a huge mistake!" AHAHAH for some reason that bit cracked me up, but to be real, thankyou for your openness Andrew, I totally relate to the situation where you can tell that someone who you actually like and who previously liked you alot too is just gradually losing interest in you - it totally sucks
when you said the part about how it's really so rare to find somebody that you actually vibe with, I started tearing up, cause it's so true :c
I'm actually doing really well, I guess I'm at an age where rapid change occurs but alot of it has been because of the new set of friends and social interactions I've had. My outlook on life, me leaving my religion, lifestyle, happiness, relationships etc. Has changed alot since where I was 1 year ago but I'm happy for it and I emplore everyone to make an extra effort in your social circles. Everyone is lonely and isolated and everyone is as socially anxious as the next. People secretly want friends and intimacy, but if you make it a habit to initiate that, you'll have a much better chance at making friends. Hopefully this doesn't come off as condescending but it really has helped me and some people close to me
Sick and vomiting and have a med school exam in a few hours
Yo Dad thanks, you too! May the odds be in our favour
Ive basically read every comment your community is amazing,everyone giving their own experiences in the comments and advice to eachother, these videos help me more than you could ever know and I couldnt even explain why. Thanks andrew, you'll meet the right girl soon.
I’m sorry you went through this Andrew. I can relate. This described the last few months of my relationship. It sucked. I’m mad i stayed that long, good on you for leaving when you knew enough was enough.
i could listen to an hour long audio book about your life andrew, more of these.
on the real, i’ve been on the addy and the pipe for months. thought it was helping me but i found myself sinking deeper in a darker place than i realized. 1 month sober now and im finally starting to love life again. idk if this helps and i never wanna tell anyone what to do, but i fr think going clean for a minute will give you more clarity than imaginable
If I were a girl I would be so good to you...did I just say that? Whoops
gayyyyyy !!!!
SHmammered~ shit-housed & hammered

It's not that simple when you genuinely like or feel attracted to someone.
I fucking miss these vlogs.
kind of the best vlog I've ever seen tbh
Yes.
This guy is great. He has a very honest shy but approachable demeanor. Creepily funny too. Yes also would be a very chill cult leader.
I feel as if I might have some sort of psychopathy. I feel empty with only a burning desire to be loved a lot of times. I’ve worked my way up through charisma and charm but other than that I’m constantly moving on from one thing to another. Family, friends, physical achievement, love, social status. In the end I still feel very alone with this hurting desire deep in my soul. I freaking love you Andrew
Imagine hating yourself so much that each day is a struggle to get through. You have to go to work and fake happiness and pretend like you’re okay otherwise you’ll bring others down and potentially lose your job because of your attitude. Imagine thinking about suicide all day long and wanting to just end the pain and suffering. That’s what’s stressing me out.
every time i see your vlog this quote poping up in my mind ::
We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war.
Bro, I love you. You're special. Don't fucking give up what you have in life especially that soul you have inside.
as good as it gets is one of the greatest movies of all time
32 MINUTES, LETSSSS GOOOOOO! ILY ANDREW!
Thanks for being so honest. I really look forward to these videos every month. Much Love
im doing great, my social circle is amazing now, girls blatantly show interest in
me, i started lifting (that’s prolly why), and my wealthy homie is taking me out to his mountain house next week to snowboard
Must be nice
@@scrunchgumpkins623 i got high as shit
Am I the only one who could listen to him talk all day? Something about his personality draws me into wanting to talk to him. Probably because he's actually relatable.
When you said "This happens once a decade", i felt that.
Sounds like you're better off without her in your life. Relationships are wiered and i'm not just talking about romantic ones. I feel you when you said "you can't force compatibility/chemistry". Multiple times i've fallen for girls who weren't right for me and I know that pain all too well. We're all works in progress and experincing hurt and emotional discomfort is just a sign that you're human and still learning and growing. Much love Andrew, thanks for all the laughs you've given us over the years.
What’s stressing me out? Loud roommates
Sipping my coffee, had to wake up at 2am to go slave away for the navy 8 hours standing at a gate checking ID's. Things are turning out well but i gotta admit, not long ago i was in a dark place. At that time it wasnt a good idea to have an M9 on me. But i made it, and now as im sipping my coffee ready to go arm up, you asked "how are you?" And i simply replied "pretty good thank you" thanks andrew. Count your blessings.
What makes me stressed is my job instability and wanting to save to buy a house before I have kids, which feels so out of reach because they're so expensive. Also finding out friends I knew most of my life who I loved so much were fake af, accepting it and moving on has been really depressing. Besides That I have a wonderful husband who loves me very much and supports me in every possible way. I have my days... life is tough man
Oddly the most connected to a creator I've felt on this platform. You're a good dude Andrew.
My stress, the feeling of being lost in the grand scheme of things, not making the connections with people and procrastinating being creative then being too depressed to get on and finish my projects I have even managed to start
Just know that you are loved man. We believe in you. I know this is not an easy thing to go through, but it's okay. Take your time and go at your you own pace. You don't need to be "likeable." Just be real! Much love man 🙏🏽
Thanks Andrew for the content. You’re one of the rare gems on youtube that keep it real.
Woah right in the feels...damn son
