Mental health is an important topic yet so many of us don't want to talk about it! Let's reverse the stigma and start getting real with each other. Enjoy this video and see you in the chats soon!
The title is so true though, when I told my mom I was in school counselling and therapy, she was annoyed with me :( but she's all good now! Love your videos!
At least some get such offers in most cases it's like what's wrong with you,you have literally everything, look at* insert the name of 1lakh strangers here *, they are all perfectly fine, stop pretending and go do your work.
I had a mini seizure when she said "hey everyone, its your girl LILLY" instead of SUPERWOMAN. why did that feel so out of place, I got so used to the superwoman dialogue wth
My aunt said this to me a week ago and I sent her an article titled 'what NOT to say to someone struggling with mental health' (it literally listed "be grateful" as one of the things not to say) X'D
1:55 you're parents are waaaaaay more forward than mine already just with this...the 'talk' never existed in my family, you had to pick up cues and read minds to know that ish XD
When I try to talk to my mum about my feelings she legit said “only depressed people say that kind of thing” and “are you crazy do you need psychiatrist ?” And my personal favourite “ kids don’t get stressed”
All my white friends don’t understand why I call so many ladies“auntie”, and it’s a pain trying to explain to them that I’m not actually related to all those ladies. So that’s why I never bother saying auntie in front of them.
Nasfa Mohamed same! I also had to continuasly tell people an auntie and cousin weren’t my real, biological ones. I could tell one person, and the exact same person would com up the me the day after asking why I called them auntie and uncle. It used to be so much easier in my country...
Hotan Mursal Same in African culture lol....Auntie or Uncle could be anyone whos NOT related to you . lol As longs they are a little more older than you
This is so true, anytime I ask my Indian parents about mental issues, they're like, "beta, back in my day, nobody had these 'issues.' You guys express too much."
Well, I'm Caucasian, and my parents are like that. I mean, my dad keep saying I can't need mental health help because I've got a house, a family and instruction lol. ...writing it down actually make it sounds so sad
I'm not Indian but this is how my adulthood was like (also childhood), especially the part of "the low self esteem issue" . I had pretty bad acne and the only place where I could be without make up and let my skin breathe is my home. Wrong! The guests would come with no invitation and they would comment all about my face. I wanted to disappear so many times
AS A BROWN KID THIS IS RELATABLE. "it happens to everyone your age" "its *THAT PHONE* you always on it" "talk to us how will someone outsider help you, we know you better"
My dad says there’s no such thing as depression & he gets made when therapy is mentioned. He had a stroke yrs ago (he’s ok now!) and told the medical staff in the stroke rehab unit he wanted to be discharged & go home because it was “depressing” seeing the people lay around & in wheel chairs. Apparently, he believes in depression when it happens only to him. Ha! All is SO TRUE! One Love Lilly & to all! 💗🙏🏽💜
So true. Growing up my parents would be like feelings, you can’t have those just do as we tell you and you will be happy and that was end of that talk.
True and that is exactly the reason why we have difficulties expressing our feelings and thoughts which makes people depressed or they miss opportunities to have great relationships with others.
I told my African parents I was going through a lot and I was just mentally not stable at that time and they told me it was for white for people and i-
I always felt I was the odd person out in school. Stayed away from everyone if I could Your able to see through this just keep doing that seriously * See through it all let it rest for a while and go back again Because if your anything like I was give it some time My life has changed and my attitude it's slow yet if I am getting there you can too. Balance without Just Blaming Yourself is Everything Stay safe *
I remember one day my mother hurt my feelings so badly and she caught me crying. (I avoid crying in front of her because she thinks its a weakness) She looked at me and said "I dont care if I hurt your feelings. Toughen tf up" I was both hurt and perplexed. Who says that to their child?... I havent trusted her since
@@sophiagrace6361 Yeah it took me a long time to come to terms with it. Now she's always asking me why I dont talk to her and stay quiet. GEE I WONDER WHY? Parents are the main issue and yet are so clueless or just truly believe theres nothing wrong with their behavior
Relatable. Very. Especially the part where they wonder why their kids don't talk to them or open up to them anymore. May you be strong enough to heal from the wounds (they do get pretty deep especially when inflicted by parents/ family).
Sometimes this is how our parents' generation grew up (the tough way) and so they learnt that everything has to work that way! And sometimes they also receive these ways of parenting from being a victim themselves in their childhood and it never hit them so hard. So they repeat these unhealthy, neglectful ways of behaving with their children. Hence many a times the deep issues lie within their past and such a thing should not be taken personally or it may be enough to break someone.
I just realised this too! Looked it up it was about a year ago before her tv show started as she felt she'd grown out of the name and didn't connect to it as much www.huffpost.com/entry/lilly-singh-superwoman-name-ends_n_5d54b9b7e4b056fafd073a59
I hate it when people say kids can't be stressed. My friend said that there have been many cases where people thought kids don't have issues and then the child committed suicide because no one understood him/her.
This is one of these moments where it actually makes sense that my people (Romani People) descend from India. My mom is always like: "We don't have time for depression etc." In any case if you happen to have mental issues nonetheless don't go to the therapist. My mom has got a cure for everything in your life and it's called getting married. It's about time for that anyways because: What will people think?
This is actually so hard for me bc I can’t ask my brown parents to go to therapy because they wouldn’t understand and then just bombard me with questions and act like I can tell them anything but I can’t.
Just tell him there is nothing wrong with going to therapy. When you go to the doctor, you're not always sick. Sometimes you just wanna know if your physical health is ok. Why would mental health be any different?
Parent: You know you can talk to me about anything right? Me: *skeptical but tries* Also parent: *talks over me, yells, disregards my feelings, thinks Im making excuses and my emotions dont matter* Me: *keeps everything to myself now and cries at night*
that was my childhood.. then you gatta find yourself a partner whos healthy for you and is open to going to therapy (or doing it online for now since people shouldnt be out to much right now :P)
When your parents try to tell you that you can’t be depressed or have anxiety because they have more reason to be those than you and ‘what do you have to be depressed about?’
I'm also brown and I have been struggling with depression for almost three years now and when I told my mother she said that it is because i watch a lot of horror movies lol.
1:22 parents and relatives never understand what it does to a child to have them criticized for their weight or body shape. I am in my early teens and slightly overweight and chubby, so my close family members call me motto aka "fatso" or something along those lines. When i protest, they say it is just a joke and I shouldn't take it seriously. I disagree. I'm not against humour, but this is the wrong kind.
Your right, I might have gotten it if they had done it once not realising that it hurt, but stuff like that isn’t funny. You know about your body without other people needing to tell you
Once i went out with my mom to buy a swimming suit and she took the smallest size FOR KIDS even tho i was a teen and she kept making faces when i couldn't put it on this repeated with more sizes and she kept telling "stop pulling your belly in it can't help you" or "you need to start running to lose weight" this hurt me A LOT and still to this day (2 years later) i can't forgive her because she was saying this so everyone could hear and some ppl where even laughing and when i could beraly look at her in the car she said "why are you mad at me It's not my fault don't overreact i almost cried 😐
This is so true! Like people can just say stuff to u-about your appearance, personality-and if you're Indian ur not meant to care. It's so annoying- like we have feelings!
Hey Lilly, You should totally use this tone for your late night shows in the future. It's much more relatable, true and well written. Hope to see more of this in the future from you.
Omg yes. I’m tired of being judged when I tell people I’ve been to therapy. I was literally told once “you just have to not let things bother you” ... I was diagnosed with PTSD 😒
I love how people who say that you shouldn’t let stuff bother you were the people who missed a week of school because their boyfriend broke up with them in middle school
So I grew up in a house full of strangers. We weren't allowed to talk at the dinner table. I wasn't allowed to interrupt my parents when they were watching tv. And that was all they did. I was bullied at school every day my whole life and I never told my parents. My mother was always angry and yelling. My parents were always fighting with each other or fighting with my older sister. I can't remember a time I felt happy or safe at home. I have been struggling my whole life to figure out what a home is. I struggle with being intimate too. But I am resilient. I am strong. No matter what life throws my way. I survive.
I am the eldest of 6 We had it rough too Our parents were not happy either however gradually you begin to see the sun rise over the hill - It took what seemed a life time yet it came I see now they had a very rough life too and often now I can let it rest. Take care I've been there I'm a Gramma now of teenagers
I feel ya, it was similar in my home too. But I won't give up and I won't let it break me. I will become stronger despite of all that. And when I have kids one day, I will be the kind of parent to them who I needed. I will be supportive and loving. I will treat them like human beings and not as some extensions of myself.
To all of you who feel this way, I am sending joyous thoughts for you all, so that the joy in your own self makes you feel safe and at home. I am one of them too.
"mom I think I need therapy" "There's no need for therapy. You just sleep at time and wake up at time" In all seriousness my parents do support therapy for better mental health but the solution to most of my problems is sleeping and waking up at time
Cousin: *visiting* Me: Mom *cousin* is punching me Mom: pfft no, he’s such a good and polite boy Cousin: *leaves* Me: I don’t like *cousin* Mom: why not? Me: he punched me repeatedly in the stomach Mom: WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME?!
She made a video explaining this some time ago. If you really are her supportive fans then you should look it up and respect her growing and evolving. No one stays the same, not even you. Be kind 🙏
Lilly: *comes home late* Lilly's mom: "where were you" Lilly: "studying" Lily's mom: "it's okay you dont have to lie you can tell me i wont be mad i promise you can trust me" Lilly: I was at a party Lilly's mom: GROUNDED !!!!
Once my mom got to know abt my bf and she said the same thing but I'm strong dude, I disagreed and then she was like " that's good cuz if it was true then I would've cut you in half ND thrown you in the river " 😂😂 I was lucky enough not to fall into her trap
Preach Lily!!!! Literally the story of my life "what will people think?" Unfortunately it's very common in my culture too but I believe there's hope yet! Keep it real Lilly xxxx
My brown parents got me into Therapy when I started to have problems with my life at school, home, and programs! And YKW, I started to open up to therapist about what’s going on and he gave me suggestions about what I can do in these situations. So, I started to feel better and more calmer. Now even though I still get angry 😡, I still can talk to my friends and family about my situations going on.
Hey Lilly!!I'm a fourteen year old from India.I can really really relate to your videos so well!!!! I really appreciate your work and hope you gain more fame and joy...

Lilly Singh the talk was scary

Please say hiiiiii I am early

The part what will people think
I’m legally changing my name to “What Will People Think” because it was said to me more than my own name.
I can totally relate 😂
🤣
I relate to that too much and it explains why I have so many filters on myself to others at the same time
I didn't know, other cultures suffered from this phrase as much as I do. Yay! #What will people think gang! 💃😂

"Aunties have no filters"
No truer words have ever been spoken..
all Aunties are the same, doesn't matter which country they from...
@@bloggerblogg5878 true that..

is it also always the oldest auntie who has the least of a filter for you guys?

My dad is brown and guess what he does not believe in therapy. He literally grounded me for asking to go to therapy so I understand it.
Same.. it's not just parents..' know it all' friends as well...it's better not to let anyone know when one is going to therapy
yeah i feel that. what i asked to go to therapy my dad told me if i want to kms go ahead 🙃
@@JOY-kh3rq I'm sorry
the struggle is real fam x
Just tell him there is nothing wrong with going to therapy. When you go to the doctor, you're not always sick. Sometimes you just wanna know if your physical health is ok. Why would mental health be any different?
Parent: You know you can talk to me about anything right?
Me: *skeptical but tries*
Also parent: *talks over me, yells, disregards my feelings, thinks Im making excuses and my emotions dont matter*
Me: *keeps everything to myself now and cries at night*
IKR!
Omg that is my life. :/
that was my childhood..
then you gatta find yourself a partner whos healthy for you and is open to going to therapy
(or doing it online for now since people shouldnt be out to much right now :P)
I hope you're doing okay
@@myselfotaku9188 thanks! Not doing great actually lol but I hang in there.
OMG, how am I only watching this now?! These videos are the reason why I followed her in the first place. I feel like she is back
No one:
Not a single soul:
Lilly’s Parents: *w h a t w i l l p e o p l e t h i n k*
Believe me
Every Indian parent say that 😂
Lol you’ve never been surrounded by people from the Indian subcontinent before
Not just her parents,
every brown parent in this universe...
Trust me sis every Indian person says this 😂
@@aruasmr26170 Not only India. In europe too😂
“What will people think?” That sentence has haunted me and will haunt me for life.
Specially as an Indian
@@notavailable708 All South, East and SE Asians

@@Galya892011 Safe to say the entire continent ?
ok let's say Asia ..
My therapy starts when Lilly comes to the live chat. RIPP
Honestly it’s because I’m not drinking enough water
When your parents try to tell you that you can’t be depressed or have anxiety because they have more reason to be those than you and ‘what do you have to be depressed about?’
"Why you have issues? You a magazine?" 😂😂😂
I'm also brown and I have been struggling with depression for almost three years now and when I told my mother she said that it is because i watch a lot of horror movies lol.
Yeah, please don't listen to people who have the emotional ability of a tea spoon
1:22 parents and relatives never understand what it does to a child to have them criticized for their weight or body shape. I am in my early teens and slightly overweight and chubby, so my close family members call me motto aka "fatso" or something along those lines. When i protest, they say it is just a joke and I shouldn't take it seriously. I disagree. I'm not against humour, but this is the wrong kind.
Your right, I might have gotten it if they had done it once not realising that it hurt, but stuff like that isn’t funny. You know about your body without other people needing to tell you
Once i went out with my mom to buy a swimming suit and she took the smallest size FOR KIDS even tho i was a teen and she kept making faces when i couldn't put it on this repeated with more sizes and she kept telling "stop pulling your belly in it can't help you" or "you need to start running to lose weight" this hurt me A LOT and still to this day (2 years later) i can't forgive her because she was saying this so everyone could hear and some ppl where even laughing and when i could beraly look at her in the car she said "why are you mad at me It's not my fault don't overreact i almost cried 😐
Oh my gosh yes. And one time my weight was literally all they talked about at the event. I wanted to disappear.
This is so true! Like people can just say stuff to u-about your appearance, personality-and if you're Indian ur not meant to care. It's so annoying- like we have feelings!
Hey Lilly,
You should totally use this tone for your late night shows in the future. It's much more relatable, true and well written. Hope to see more of this in the future from you.
steffy jenson yess thank you
Yeah I agree
2:11 that whole "The Talk" scene KILLED me
COME BACK TO LIFE BOO
@@LillySingh HAHA I'm kinda mad I've never used that come back before
@@LillySingh 😂😂 well said 👍🏻
"Oh you are sad, but not too sad to play with phone" -most used sentence from immigrant/brown parents😂 #truestory
If anything, I'm on my phone so much BECAUSE I'm sad.
every. time.
"Aunties have no filters"
so true
"Issues? Why you have issues, you magazine?" Oh lawd I'm dying wid laughter here😅😅😅😅😅😅
Omg yes. I’m tired of being judged when I tell people I’ve been to therapy. I was literally told once “you just have to not let things bother you” ... I was diagnosed with PTSD 😒
Same... sometimes it's better not to tell anyone that you go to therapy... there are so many 'know it all's'
I love how people who say that you shouldn’t let stuff bother you were the people who missed a week of school because their boyfriend broke up with them in middle school
So I grew up in a house full of strangers. We weren't allowed to talk at the dinner table. I wasn't allowed to interrupt my parents when they were watching tv. And that was all they did. I was bullied at school every day my whole life and I never told my parents. My mother was always angry and yelling. My parents were always fighting with each other or fighting with my older sister. I can't remember a time I felt happy or safe at home. I have been struggling my whole life to figure out what a home is. I struggle with being intimate too. But I am resilient. I am strong. No matter what life throws my way. I survive.
WolfmoonWoman never give up ,hopefully you meet someone who understands you just the way you are.
I am the eldest of 6 We had it rough too Our parents were not happy either however gradually you begin to see the sun rise over the hill - It took what seemed a life time yet it came I see now they had a very rough life too and often now I can let it rest. Take care I've been there I'm a Gramma now of teenagers
I feel ya, it was similar in my home too. But I won't give up and I won't let it break me. I will become stronger despite of all that. And when I have kids one day, I will be the kind of parent to them who I needed. I will be supportive and loving. I will treat them like human beings and not as some extensions of myself.
To all of you who feel this way, I am sending joyous thoughts for you all, so that the joy in your own self makes you feel safe and at home. I am one of them too.
You will be good...loads and loaaads of luck be to youuuuu😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Hello
Me!
*Lilly
"mom I think I need therapy"
"There's no need for therapy. You just sleep at time and wake up at time"
In all seriousness my parents do support therapy for better mental health but the solution to most of my problems is sleeping and waking up at time
Cousin: *visiting*
Me: Mom *cousin* is punching me
Mom: pfft no, he’s such a good and polite boy
Cousin: *leaves*
Me: I don’t like *cousin*
Mom: why not?
Me: he punched me repeatedly in the stomach
Mom: WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME?!
I thought is said Corona: visiting
@@aenia haha, same...
Gaslighting?
I've read a couple of Reddit Stories about Entitled People like this.
Damn, I thought they were a few cases.
Omg, relatable! 🙄
when you are at family reunions and your relatives are just indirectly insulting you
I just came back and when she said: what up everyone it's your girl lilly
Me: what- where is superwoman-
flαѕhч • prσductíσnѕ ik it annoys me off every time
She considers herself grown up from the superwoman name apparently
@@EdolasMystogan aw I miss superwoman 😔✊🏻
She made a video explaining this some time ago. If you really are her supportive fans then you should look it up and respect her growing and evolving. No one stays the same, not even you. Be kind 🙏
@@katie18976 i really dont think she was being or trying to be unkind, she just didnt know
SOOO relatable! love it!
Its really good to have someone to keep ur mind off of the crisis..
That's why i love her...
Btw, I hv brown parents too😂
Love from Indian fanss❤❤❤🌎🌎
** Luthor ** I have a Sri Lanka mom so I can relate too😂
Ok but as an Indian myself I have to say that the low self-esteem one is soooo true. 🤣🤣🤣
Lilly: *comes home late*
Lilly's mom: "where were you"
Lilly: "studying"
Lily's mom: "it's okay you dont have to lie you can tell me i wont be mad i promise you can trust me"
Lilly: I was at a party
Lilly's mom: GROUNDED !!!!
Once my mom got to know abt my bf and she said the same thing but I'm strong dude, I disagreed and then she was like " that's good cuz if it was true then I would've cut you in half ND thrown you in the river " 😂😂 I was lucky enough not to fall into her trap
Being an Indian kid...can I just say.. I CANNOT agree more!
Preach Lily!!!! Literally the story of my life "what will people think?" Unfortunately it's very common in my culture too but I believe there's hope yet! Keep it real Lilly xxxx
This is so accurate, it physically hurts:')
My brown parents got me into Therapy when I started to have problems with my life at school, home, and programs! And YKW, I started to open up to therapist about what’s going on and he gave me suggestions about what I can do in these situations. So, I started to feel better and more calmer. Now even though I still get angry 😡, I still can talk to my friends and family about my situations going on.
Lily : "aunties have no filters " . 😂😂 so true
nice info....

Hey Lilly!!I'm a fourteen year old from India.I can really really relate to your videos so well!!!! I really appreciate your work and hope you gain more fame and joy...
Bro it's just so accurate.. like it's like she experienced it herself
The auntie literally embodies every relative I have they just have no filter.
When she said “what up everyone it’s your girl Lilly” my jaw dropped. I-
my indian dad goes “eet eez verdy verdy bad to be vit a boy at a young age...vwat are you theenking?”

Such an important message delivered in such a funny way. Thanks Lilly :)
