Ditzy and Paul, The reason we love you guyz so much is because you are real. You show us your authentic selves. There are other terrific creators that keep things super professional. There is an absolute need an niche for this. For me it has been the creators that go live and make if fun. Those, like yourselves that promote inclusivity and accessibility, that go out of their way to make people feel welcome and make it FUN, are the creators that have changed my life by giving me community here. There is rarely an original idea. If people are calling others out for stealing ideas, they are lying to make themselves look more important. It's like someone trying to claim they are the first one to say, "the sky is blue".
First video I have watched if yours. I subbed. I agree with what you said. I’m new to Diamond painting. I will go back and watch your videos. Hope to catch one of your lives.
Hi Ditzy! I love your channel and I think you are doing amazing! I like your honesty you are genuine, kind and funny in a great way and it cheers us up.I look forward to watching your videos.I don't talk about it but I get anxiety too and it often stops me posting videos because I over think sometimes.I think anyone who does have anxiety and has a channel is amazing because you are putting yourself out there. This community should about supporting each other not bringing people down and its a shame some people are like that.The fact we share this love of this craft is special because we have this in common and some of us don't know people in real life who know about it.I am so greatful for this lovely community.Have a great weekend 😊
Wow Emma thank you so much for your kind words. I am forever grateful to meet some of the amazing and kind people in the community and the artists that bring us such joy.
Oh Ditz! You and I are so much alike. I too have anxiety and it just comes out of nowhere sometimes. I do take medication and it does help but sometimes not. Which is also a reason I’m afraid of retreats. I have to know I’ll have my quiet space. Before I started RUclips I reminded myself that if someone is very mean it can REALLY mess with my mental state. I tend to take things to heart. SO FAR I’ve been very blessed. I work hard to avoid drama in my life. I would be sad if I heard rumors against me. I never tell anyone about a rumor I hear unless it could be life altering. I also don’t gossip. My experience is many times the person sharing the rumors are part of it. I’m sorry you’re going through it. I hope it doesn’t happen to me and if it does it doesn’t throw me for a loop. Hugs my friend! I think you rock! ❤
FACTS 💯 I haven't been to people's lives since before Blackfriday not because of drama. Simply put I do not have the budget that other people do. So I purchased my must-haves and decided to do the responsible thing. I did all the housework I put off during Drills and Chills and will come back after everyone is done with show-and-tell.
💜💜💜 and let me tell you… when you are friends with people, then they have drama between them… and you’re in the middle … oh the fun. I’ve been the middle man several times. Not fun times
I have too much drama going on in my everyday life, and I dont want that to push into my crafting because that's my time to reduce my anxiety. I was surprised by the amount of drama in this community when I started on RUclips. I've decided to watch the people that help reduce that anxiety and make me happy and not get involved with the rest of it. I don't need the bs. I have severe OCD and anxiety which makes my life hard enough already. Keep doing what your doing and if others don't like it they don't have to watch. Love ya guys 💚
Same and mostly it was just how many people that were telling me story’s about how they have been treated and the effects it had them was absolutely mind boggling.
You always speak your truth with such loving care and grace. Thank you for being you. I don’t struggle with the anxiety side of things like you do, but I can imagine how the brain overwhelms, exaggerates, and makes you doubt yourself and it’s only amplified because of the complicated nature of social media. Humans have never before in human history had 24hr access to each other while also it being somewhat of a “false” relationship because many times we’ve never met in person. We underestimate how important it is to see each other’s facial expressions and hear the inflections in their voice while in the same room. I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling with a lot of drama behind the scenes. As you said, the whole point of this craft is easing frustrations and using it as an almost meditative activity. You need to do what’s right for you and your mind’s health. As I said at the beginning, I appreciate your authentic self, so whatever capacity you’re able to show up in, I’m here for it. Even if you need to take a big step back entirely for a while. Sending you mental hugs and the wish for a happy holiday season. ❤
Ditzy, so much of what you say resonates with me. I love your videos and really hope you continued making them. ❤ I am sorry their is so much drama. Like you said its sad that people need to tare others down to lift themselves up.
You’re amazing Alicia and Paul I watch every time I see you come up on my homepage on RUclips and I love watching you dumb paint and box diamond paintings to you guys when
You are so nice and welcoming to anyone. I appreciate your honesty and Would love to diamond paint with you. The internet is full of meanies. I have experienced meanies. There are so many other channels and people should just move on. I am totally enjoying my journey on RUclips. I love that Paul is with you on your journey and hobby! 😊 I did watch to the end. You and Paul kept me company while I diamond painted.
I agree with you completely. I just really wanted to bring awareness because I have had so many people reach out with absolute horror stories and I feel so bad for them.
This is my first time seeing your content. It’s great! 💙 I’ve been wanting to start a yt channel for a couple years but I haven’t because of 1. The time required and 2. The possibility of drama 😂 but I understand just wanting a few diamond painting friends. It’s a great hobby but can also be isolating.
Ditsy & Paul your going to have people trying to hurt you with their comments. Do Not pay any attention to those trouble makers. Their probably have so much envy toward y'all because they wish they were like you. You just have to shake it off & just continue with a fabulous job y'all are doing. I enjoy watching & listen to you two & chuckle some time at Paul. Please keep going & doing the good job you do. Love you both ❤❤❤❤❤
@DitzysDiamondDen yes those type of people that tries to cause trouble or be so ugly to you are usually not happy themselves. I have heard of other creators having the same thing happen to them as well.
The last few years I’ve developed a deep social anxiety. I wish I could do what you do and hope to soon have my own channel where I can be social without being social if that makes sense
Any time I think about starting a channel, I stop myself. I know that I won't deal well with negative comments or mean people. Anything I do, I do with my whole heart and I need to protect myself from the extra stress.
I deal okay with it directed at me. But seeing the constant tear down throughout the community is incredibly sad. Especially during the holidays which is already difficult for so many people.
You know I love your channel, and I feel very privileged to have actually met you and Paul ...I would be heartbroken if you stopped your channel you have a good attitude about it. When I started listening to u tube there were rumors going around about someone named Berta who isn't even a creator..lol.that didn't seem to stop her..there are always people who need drama so much they start it themselves. I feel sorry for them...anyway ... thank you for the discord....I am a borderline recluse and love being able to talk to and meet everyone there...I would love to grow up just like you....I love your bubbley Gung ho personality you might need a slightly thicker skin cause there will always be idiots out there..your true friends will stick by you...take care Ditzy and Paul you take care of her too also Ditzy you take care of Paul..you two are very special people...and a joy to know...😊
@DitzysDiamondDen unfortunately you can't shield everyone...you are a special person and a wonderful friend to have..just be sure to take care of you first or you won't be able to help anyone else...and maybe next time you can help another friend..until you have helped everyone....one at a time...

Nicely done and very well put. You can always think of me as a friend AND more what can I do for you instead of the other way around.
Thanks Lee!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Alyssa! Thank you for beeing honest all the time. Thank you for beeing so reachable ❤

Wow thank you for such an eloquent response. My main struggle is how often I hear other peoples stories about this.
Ditzy, so much of what you say resonates with me. I love your videos and really hope you continued making them. ❤ I am sorry their is so much drama. Like you said its sad that people need to tare others down to lift themselves up.
I see it so often with so many people in the community and it makes me incredibly sad

You are my sunshine carebear ! This true north bear 🐻 love you 🥰. That thumbnail is 👩🏻🍳💋
Sunshine bear!!! My bear
Great video. Love you Ditzy & Paul ❤
Hey you name is different again
Hello. I am new to your channel . I subscribed to your channel because I enjoy watching you. I like people who are themselves in videos.
I try to tone down the weird a little bit but it is hard because my filter doesn’t always work
I also talk to the tv and it’s not just diamond painting videos. You should see & hear me when I’m watching a scary movie, sometimes I yell 😂
Me too, especially at scary movies
Hahahaha love it
I watch on the computer and talk to it all the time!
It is always healthy to know I am not the only one talking to inanimate objects!
Ditz I only have 3 words for u.
I LOVE YOU
and Paul, too. Always so nice
Sharon I hear you are going to great lakes ahhh all my friends are going to that one!!!
❤
I talked to jen shes so excited who else is going@DitzysDiamondDen
This is my first time seeing your content. It’s great! 💙 I’ve been wanting to start a yt channel for a couple years but I haven’t because of 1. The time required and 2. The possibility of drama 😂 but I understand just wanting a few diamond painting friends. It’s a great hobby but can also be isolating.
It can be worth it for the awesome friends i made
❤️
Thank you

Thanks so much the video was also generalized because a lot of people have talked to me about things that have happened to them
@DitzysDiamondDen yes those type of people that tries to cause trouble or be so ugly to you are usually not happy themselves. I have heard of other creators having the same thing happen to them as well.
Only ❤❤❤❤❤!!!
Thanks for checking on me
The last few years I’ve developed a deep social anxiety. I wish I could do what you do and hope to soon have my own channel where I can be social without being social if that makes sense
That absolutely makes sense

I definitely need thicker skin but I hear about so many others who also get hurt and I want to shield them all
@DitzysDiamondDen unfortunately you can't shield everyone...you are a special person and a wonderful friend to have..just be sure to take care of you first or you won't be able to help anyone else...and maybe next time you can help another friend..until you have helped everyone....one at a time...
I am new on this channel. Sounds like we have things in common. I would love to make friends and enjoy diamond painting.
Do you have discord it is free and we love having new friends

The "People seem to think they are gonna get rich" has me falling out. Diamond Painting is too niche to get rich from it on RUclips. For me it's about community. Also if you are being given 💩 by someone please tell them where to get off... This aint that kind of party.
There are a few diamond painter RUclipsrs that are pulling in over 10k a month but its like 3 people
@DitzysDiamondDen Yeah, but that's not what I consider rich in youtube land. Look at how much the folks that have childrens youtube channels get per month.
❤
@@DitzysDiamondDenWow! Who is making that much from a diamond painting channel?
The big names are probably around that
Hi Ditzy and Paul, great video . I was not aware of all the drama happening 🫤 I don’t follow many channel but the ones I do follow I love them, they bring me joy and you’re one of them😁❤️ keep it up I’m not going anywhere ❤️❤️😁
I am incredibly happy to hear you have experienced it and feel kinda bad that now you know.
❤ Carol ❤

Thanks for watching
