Don't be scared of talking to new people, they're in the same boat as you, trust me. Stop saying "I can't do it" if you haven't tried very hard (I'm still working on that one). Working hard really does pay off. Really really. You do deserve all the wonderful things people have given you/done for you. Don't be so hard on yourself, they wouldn't be so kind if they didn't think you deserve it.
you're not as annoying as you think you are. you are not as loud as you think you are. no you are not oversharing and you shouldn't regret. your body is very lovely and you deserve new clothes so stop hesitating. everyone has their quirks, some more than some. stop listening to the enemy. everyone looks different with new hairstyles and people will stare, so let them. stop brushing off your creativity and ideas as "phases", you never know if one of them (or more) will become your niche. also chill man.
"Young people are so naïve" "you don't have enough experience to have wisdom" *points old self righteous people towards you* You're so inspirational and also your hair looks soft. Keep up with the amazing videos!!❤💜
aw this is so sweet, thank you! ya know, it's incredible how naive even adults can be! i think everybody just need to understand that we're all silly and flawed :)
Conan Gray exactly! People should really try and embrace their silly side and not take things so seriously and things will be so much better! Have a good day and a good new year!
I'm 15 and I see you as a big brother who lives in anoter country.you can make me smile whenever ı watch you.I've been feeling so down lately because you know,sometimes you feel like nobody really understands you.(and most of the time they don't :D)but I feel and know that you are the one who feels the way I feel,and knows what I'm going through.thank you so much for being such a cool and encouraging brother.
@@buttercoconut1624 thanks for replying! :) and yeah, i just started uni this year. I had a pretty rough high school experience, i was not bullied or anything but just felt out of place and not understood most of the time. I remember listening to conan's original songs and scribbling on my notebook back then whenever we had a free period. His new stuff doesn't really appeal to me, but he still has a precious place in my heart as my ' big brother':) he was and is a precious human being.
I feel the same way Thank you for putting it into words🍓🍄🍒🍎😚 I'm 15 right now! So I hope I grow and learn like all of you are talking here in the comments. Honestly sometimes, comment sections are just amazing. And it makes me so happy to see how people all around the world can communicate like this❤
I literally love everything you're saying so much. You may still be young but you are such a grown-minded and inspirational individual. I am very glad that you share bits of that mind with the internet and I get to hear them. In this past year I mainly came to the realisation that every lowest point is gonna be followed by a high one. Pain isn't permanent. I also mainly started getting into art and finding it for myself as the best way of therapy and dealing with life. I hope you have a good new year
Things I learned: Do not rely on others for happiness or to “complete” you. You have to be whole on your own. Also, learn to differentiate between liking the attention someone gives you and actually liking them.
I'm gonna be 19 in a few months and it's so crazy. I remember being a 14 year old thinking I was gonna be a rockstar by this age lmao, but hey, life isn't always what we think it's gonna be and I WISH i could tell my younger self to NOT FEAR ANYTHING ! I just found out who you are, and you honestly inspire me so much, because I've always loved singing and music but I never made my own music because I honestly thought I just couldn't do it. I have also loved making videos and editing since I was like 10 and I honestly felt that youtube was my calling lol, but I always feared that people from my school would see my videos, so i deleted a bunch that I put so much effort into :( However, I've recently been trying to write soo many originals, and even get back to making videos (maybe short films) and trying to figure out what capabilities I hold. Never put yourself down or doubt yourself. It inspires me to see those around my age living pretty much my dreams because I'm like hey, it's not too late, I'm still young (:
I learnt this year that I am naive. That there's so much that I don't know and that being wrong is completely alright. It's okay to be wrong and I need to accept that I am wrong once in a while.
The worrying thing didn’t matter to me when I watched it for the first time, but now I can’t stop worrying. Coming back to his old TH-cam videos are very calming though
this hits different when you see on twitter people saying, he glorifies depression, even tho this video exist, even tho is a coping mechanism, even tho he's a human, and he takes responsabilty for his actions, and likes to be held accountable, that's why we love you Conan, stay safe, and don't forget we love you to death, this things happen and you are so strong to keep surviving, love u :)
Something I've learnt is that feeling sad about something or getting upset doesn't make you attention-seeking and it doesn't make you a drama queen. Your emotions are valid and you shouldn't beat yourself over how you feel about things.
Absolutely amazing! You're making me cry Conan 😊😂 this is beautiful and I totally agree with everything you've said, I don't think anyone could have put it into better words... I'm 16 and I really needed this, especially number 15
it's okay to cry. once and awhile, it could get to be to much. we, as humans, aren't supposed to hold our emotions forever. it's okay to be vulnerable once and awhile to just be. just be who you are and let yourself go and not care what you look like or what to say or what others are thinking. it's okay.
"Learning how to forgive." For the past few months I held grudges that's been ripping me apart and hurting me. Yesterday, I finally let that go and I feel so refreshed.
i turned 18 in September and i feel so pressured to have my life together and i dont at all. im literally doing nothing with my life while kids my age are in college. lowkey freaking out
It is incredible that certain things which you wrote down I have only just discovered myself, and I'm 22. It truly shows that you have embraced every aspect of your life, the good and the bad, took time to observe and analyse your circumstances and learned from them. This makes you such a wise and unique soul. I have only recently subscribed but I can't be happier for what you have already achieved at 18. To be this sure of yourself is a big feat, it takes decades for most people to get to this point. Big things are headed your way and I'm rooting for you! :)
i just turned 18 as well and I wrote down some of the lessons l learned by now like you did.. I cannot share everything but some of them are..... 1. cliché, but most importantly, live your present to the fullest 2. there are so many people out there who are in desperate need, we MUST become helps to them because we have been helped so much as well and it's important to know the value of sharing. 3. everyone is broken in some way and it is good to accept our own flaws because we are all imperfect humans 4. last thing here, there are always bad days as there are also good days. Sometimes we think that our lives suck because of those bad days, but it's just them, not that your life is bad.
I know I'm really late, but what I learned is that I deserve the best... Not in a selfish way, but I was in a very abusive (more mentally than physically) relationship, and I lost so many people I loved because of it, especially me... But from that, I learned I deserve so much better than that. I deserve someone who truly loves who I am and I most importantly deserve to be happy and love myself. I continue to grow from this lesson, even today when I wore something different than what's excepted at school, because I loved it. But to sum things up, thank you Conan. You may not think this, but you help a lot of people with getting through things, so I'm very thankful for you ❤
In the chaos that was 2016 learned to shape yourself and be comfortable in your own skin because people will let you down and you have to be in charge of your own happiness. you can't please everyone, so you've gotta please yourself. Thank you for being a wonderful human Conan. Your friends are lucky to have you.
one thing I've learned is to "never compare yourself to others." you are you and there is no changing that. don't waste your time comparing yourself. you are the best you, you can be and you have so much potential and ability. so don't lose your spark.
So I want to say EVERYTHING I've been feeling since the day I found you on TH-cam but that would be really hard. I've tried to be a better person ALWAYS but I always failed. The thing that my mom isn't proud of me really made me feel sad and guilty. Since the time I became depressed and overly sensitive I felt like everything and everyone is against me because no one actually cared about me; not my parents nor my friends but I didn't care so I continued trying to impress people around me, to make my mom proud. I started learning to school a lot and I helped people. But like I said at the begging I've failed several times and I tried to take my life away. But then I found you here, on TH-cam. You are the type of person who seems like the most kind and most worth it. You are my inspiration and by watching you and listening to you I've learned that I have to wait for success and keep trying, not giving up. I think all I just wrote is total nonsense but I had to write because I've been holding this in me for so long. So thank you Conan. ❤ [sorry for all my mistakes but English isn't my first language and I'm still learning]
Common I have watched you since you were like a fetus on TH-cam and I just love you I am 98% sure you are not watching this comment but I want you to know that you have been such a great part of my life and love you I wish I could meet you once you go on just keep moving i hope you have a great new year
Hey Conan I hope you could see this message. Your music is angelic, and even you are now famous and I look back to this video, I dunno why I cried. I am in a stagnant pain now, this video somehow has cheered me up a lot, and feels like you have worked so hard to achieve this present moment ( now is 2021 and Conan has grown up n living in his dream) You have always be an inspiration for us. Thank you for your being, thank you little cone, astronomy cone, and the future you. I am not a crazy fan but I am healed for your being not only your music. You are an amazing human being. I hope someday I can be like you, shines through the night. Blessed be🪐🌍💫⭐️
i learned somthing 2 days ago. that when you feel alone you always have sombody out there that can help you just by writing a message to you.even if they are on the other side of the world
You are so wise and your mindset is so inspirational. Thank you for your videos. I know life won't be perfect, and i've learned that the hard way. I definitely have to take notes. Thank you so much xoxox
Last year I fell into depression again because of unhealthy friendships, so I just want to tell everyone : it's okay to walk away from so-called friends because they make you anxious or depressed. It's okay to let people go even if it makes hurting them, and hurting you. You'll be grateful one day that you did so. you deserve so much better than being trapped with someone who doesn't love you the right way.
one of the few places i feel loved is here. it feels like conan and me are friends and we are just chatting here together. you are such a wonderful human being conan. TRULY one of a kind and i, no, WE love you for that. continue on inspiring others. i am very much proud of you. ❤️
conan, i'm literally sobbing. idk. i always make mistakes and i hate myself for doing those mistakes. watching this, it feels like ugh idk what to say i'm crying omg but like thank you for this. even though this was like a video for yourself, i think i'll learn a lot, too. thanks again. ily.
This is so creative I like this I'm 18 and your 18 lessons are so wonderful for me to know with this new year I'm so happy for you and this amazing experience you shared with us Thank You 😊
This was playing in the background while i was making art, and then i noticed that i was crying. This reached down to me on such a personal level and I want to thank you for unlocking something in me that has been trying to get out. If only more people could hear these wise words, this world would be a happier place. I love who you are and are becoming Conan.
I learnt that taking care and loving yourself is top priority. Don't disappoint yourself, when you know that you are so much capable of doing more. I am always afraid of having to clean up my old stuff be it giving away school books, clothes or items because I don't want to dig up my past and having the memories sticking to me like glue inside my brain everytime I touch something valuable. Thoughts like 'what if', 'i should've done it' comes running through my brain and I find myself stuck in the past. I learnt to be brave and to let go and put away items in the past amd to welcome those coming in the future. Btw, I recently found your channel and I'm deeply in love with it. ❤❤
there is a moment in time when I realize who and what has made my life so amazing, and I can't honestly that you enough for just being the person you are. I am forever grateful that you took your camera out and videotaped your life because it has inspired me to live up to the fullest and just be myself. So I thank you for making yourself an inspiration to not only me but to many others♡ congrats on 18!! I hope many opportunities and more come your way. I love you .
The most important lesson I learnt this year was this: A trend is when someone jaywalks and the rest of the crowd waiting realise its safe and follows, but that is the scenario when everyone who crossed has lost their individuality, except for the one who crossed first. Youre a special individual and although trends are the safest and easiest way to be with the crowd, you do not stand out for yourself unless you furst take the risk.
Something that I learned was to let go of people who have a negative effect on you. A lot of time we form connections to certain people and those connections sometimes change and that's okay. People that you thought would have for the rest of your time may leave and there's nothing you can do about it. Reflecting on the past is important, but not as important as moving forward in the future, without the weight of someone who makes you feel like you aren't good enough. Because you are, even though it's something that I haven't comes to turn with. Good luck with your year! I'm turning 18 soon too and I'm also dealing with the future head on and I now realize the only way to deal with it is to do just that- deal with it. Much love!
this is literally one of the most inspiring and eye opening videos i have ever watched, this video made me feel less worried about my future ( i have my o levels tomorrow) thank you so much Conan! ^-^
this video made me cry so damn hard because I realised how much I want to change in my life, but I feel like I don't have enough will and power to change it.
you are literally my inspiration. I started drawing again because of you, writing in my journal that I let pick up dust for years, and you helped me learn how to just let go. so, thanks for that Conan 🌟💕
I learned that the only person you have to answer to is yourself at the end of the day and shouldn't let others dictate what you think is right for you
Wow, I just watched a video where you were sixteen... You have grown so much and I adore your wisdom and kindness. You are the calmest, happiest person I can think of, and it's really inspiring to know what you have gone through and to see you smile everyday. Never stop shinning, Love You!!
I will be 18 in 12 days and i made the same mistakes this year , but my biggest was letting people affect my choices , my life and i am determined to change that ! I wish you a happy new year full of happiness and success
Wtf you already have 141k!! I remember when you had 41k. I'm glad you're growing so much😊. One of my favorites this month was a bomber jacket I got at the thrift store that is navy blue with gold trim and has an antique clock design on the back :)
this year I've basically learned that you don't really need someone to be happy. Like most of my life I've thought that being ''popular'' among people means that you are more loved than anybody else but that isn't true because most of these persons are hypocrites.What I mean is that you don't have to wait for someone to be happy.You have yourself and that's already amazing. Start to love yourself do you can love others.
don't be afraid to talk to your parents or other adults. they might be intimidating, but chances are they have been through what you're going through. if you need to ask for help, ask. it's okay to take breaks. it's okay to step into the unknown, because if nothing else, you will learn something.
Hi Conan! So I just discovered you a few days ago and you have inspired me to start a TH-cam channel! You are definitely not like every other TH-camr, it's so refreshing! I never thought about doing a channel until now and I'm super excited and inspired. You're doing a great job! Keep it up. I know you'll go far! God Bless 😊
I turn 18 in a couple of months and I wish I'd thought to do this! Self-reflection is such an interesting thing to look back on, especially when you're around this age where everything seems to be in a state of limbo and is constantly changing. Really interesting and the style you showed it in was so cute!
This brought me to tears. I'm not perfect (and I'm not claiming to be) but it's hard for me to make important mistakes. Writing that out, I feel dumb. But if you think about it , everything important that we learn comes from a substantial mistake we make. I'm lived my entire life thus far way to cautious and anxious and uncomfortable just worrying about things that haven't even begun to happen yet. I haven't let myself make these mistakes. This puts me in a bittersweet position because, on the one hand, less mistakes and less cleaning up those mistake. But on the other hand, I'm not letting myself grow up the way I should be naturally. 2016 was an emotional roller coaster for me (and probably countless others of you) and just 1 day into 2017 I've decided that this year is the year I finally stick to a resolution. I will take risks and let my true voice shine through despite all of the flashing signs in my head telling me it's a bad idea. I want to make my own mistakes and learn lessons that are 100% my own. This is the year that I let myself become the person that I am rather than the person that I want to be. Sorry for the novel but this video really made me take a step back and realize that I'm not too perfect to make mistakes like the rest of the world and that perfection is just a captivating mindset that I need to free myself from. Conan, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤️
I'll have to play this video over and over again throughout this year. I am very grateful for this video and all the others and for the fact that you exist.Thank you so SO much. Have a splendid new year !
Sometimes you just have days where you're not alright, or okay. And that's okay too, sometimes you just need to accept that everyday can't be super productive, or happy, but it's important to draw the positives from whatever type of day you're having. Be kind to yourself.
Thank you for this video. I built up the courage to message my ex best friend after having a really bad "break up" that ended on a bad note. I told her I was grateful that she was there for me and hoped that she had a great year to come. Thank you, Conan. I learnt to move on :')
life has been great with you in my life. all your songs, advice, and mostly your art have been a blessing to me. i love how you always put God in every single video. i love you Conan 💘💘
-stop blaming yourself for bad things you are involved in. perhaps it is important to understand that those bad things will pass. -if you want positivity in your life, you have to do it yourself. in the grander scheme, cutting out negative influences may temporarily help, but put in the effort to be the flourishing individual. -exemplify what you believe in, so long as you don't harm others in the process. -do not break the wrist of the hand that you shake (metaphorically and literally). -tear down your facade for somebody, because there is at least one person in your life that cares. -its okay to feel sad or to feel angry or to feel any negative emotion because it is what all humans do. -if you like noodles, eat noodles darn it. -do not seek affirmation in the wrong people. and do not let this quest break the relationships which you already have. -it is OKAY to seek professional help on something. sometimes we need more help than what we are getting. -you get out of something exactly what you put in. -if you want to change, you cannot expect change to come to you. -even though your future is hazy, appreciate how clear the present is and anticipate that it will one day be as focused. -do things sporadically and spontaneously. how many people can say they've taught their grandmother how to hula hoop? -if chaos can lead you to calm, then sit the storm out for the antecedent sunshine. -it is okay to fall, to fail, to embarrass yourself because it gives you a pretty good reason to try again. -your best is good enough. sixteen things learned by a sixteen-year-old.
oh m'y god, you just have a heart of gold ! You're the kindest person that i've ever knew , you CAN be proud of you , stay strong ! You are Perfect, because you are YOU .
Your mind and soul are older and wiser beyond your years. I can't wait to see you and your channel grow, whether that be numerically or not. 2017 will, for me too, be a step into adulthood. With university, new faces and experiences awaiting us, it's only upwards from here! I adore your channel, thank you for these videos.
you are truthfully one of my top favorite youtubers your so real and your talent makes me feel creative . I love the your voice and it makes me brake emotionaly (in a good way) and your videos (which I need more of) gives me hope for my life in school, TH-cam, and at home. I have learned inorder to grow I have to keep making content and never stop doing what I love. one day I cryed because I didn't have a video idea and I was not getting any subs but then I wastched ur videos and it inspered me to make videos today. I love art and TH-cam and in order to grow I have to suck it up and turn on my camera and be myself. Thank you
one thing i learnt was that pride will eat you up whole. when you do something wrong and not acknowledge it or just push it aside, or even blame other people for your mistakes, will do nothing good to anybody. doing wrong things is okay. apologize to the people you've done wrong to and in the future, be proud of your mistakes. laugh at them. but most importantly, learn from them. because that will make you who you are. 2016 was a blessing although it was a long rocky road
I've learned that it's okay to and that I often NEED to leave friendships and relationships that hurt me unapologetically. If they don't reach out to me afterwards, I don't need to feel bad about ending the friendship, because I did it to protect myself.
Some things I've learned: If your heart gets broken, it will hurt. But it will also pull you so much closer to the people who really care about you and you will find love and support when you need it most. Be gentle to yourself- you deserve it. Who you are is always enough, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's ok to feel terrible sometimes. You're human and emotional, not every day will be a happy day. It's also ok to feel happy- not every feeling has to be a bad feeling.
conan you've honestly made my day I'm soo glad I came across your channel you seem like such a nice and genuine sweet loving person, your friends are so lucky to have you in their lives, watching your videos is so peaceful and they make my day a 100x better
And my learning lesson to myself is stop thinking i know all of my friends heart, bc sometimes people besides you just dont show their real face and its okey, just keep them away your life bc you deserve better.
This was such a cute video. It really helped me feel less alone. The fact that we're the same age made it even better because we are going through similar points in our life, I have no one to talk to most of the time so this really meant a lot Conan :)
I just wanted to say you've inspired me so much and you seem like such a kind hearted person and you give me some hope that there's actually good people in society so thanks for being you.. god bless
I know I should probably try to live more by some of these words. The one about needing other people really hit home. I tend to isolate myself when I'm feeling down and overthink everything and just drown in thoughts and the best thing to do would be to talk to others, but sometimes you need to learn things the hard way before you do anything about it... Anyway, being self reflective and learning along the way is such a good way to improve as a person, and I think you've got the hang of it Conan😘
Don't be scared of talking to new people, they're in the same boat as you, trust me.
Stop saying "I can't do it" if you haven't tried very hard (I'm still working on that one).
Working hard really does pay off. Really really.
You do deserve all the wonderful things people have given you/done for you. Don't be so hard on yourself, they wouldn't be so kind if they didn't think you deserve it.
Ismay Rose these are all so so wise yes yes yes yes
Ismay Rose wise words! ima screen shot them...dont judge..(jk)
Ą m b ě r ã aw thank you so much, not judging at all! Much love💘
I always try to new people but it seems that im the only one who wants to have this comversation..
i really needed this one
Conan: *fills up the whole notebook in a year
Me: *fills up half a page
feel you man
you're not as annoying as you think you are. you are not as loud as you think you are. no you are not oversharing and you shouldn't regret. your body is very lovely and you deserve new clothes so stop hesitating. everyone has their quirks, some more than some. stop listening to the enemy. everyone looks different with new hairstyles and people will stare, so let them. stop brushing off your creativity and ideas as "phases", you never know if one of them (or more) will become your niche. also chill man.
Im way more loud than I think I am. I have hearing loss for some reason. 60% loss in my left and 40% in my right
Some of what you said is wrong. A lot of times, the enemy is right about you, i learnt that the hard way
the only enemy is myself, most of the time.
There's a lot of wisdom packed into this short video.
I've learned, things get better, but in many different ways. Also, no one is going to be perfect, NO ONE.
linyancat GOOD ONE 💕
Thanks Conan!!!!!!!!!!

I'm willing to support anyone who supports my channel :)

I'm 15 right now!
So I hope I grow and learn like all of you are talking here in the comments.
Honestly sometimes, comment sections are just amazing. And it makes me so happy to see how people all around the world can communicate like this❤
Türk :))
I literally love everything you're saying so much. You may still be young but you are such a grown-minded and inspirational individual. I am very glad that you share bits of that mind with the internet and I get to hear them. In this past year I mainly came to the realisation that every lowest point is gonna be followed by a high one. Pain isn't permanent. I also mainly started getting into art and finding it for myself as the best way of therapy and dealing with life.
I hope you have a good new year
Hanna kns aw everything you said means so much to me and is so important!!! thank you!!!

Things I learned: Do not rely on others for happiness or to “complete” you. You have to be whole on your own. Also, learn to differentiate between liking the attention someone gives you and actually liking them.
I'm gonna be 19 in a few months and it's so crazy. I remember being a 14 year old thinking I was gonna be a rockstar by this age lmao, but hey, life isn't always what we think it's gonna be and I WISH i could tell my younger self to NOT FEAR ANYTHING ! I just found out who you are, and you honestly inspire me so much, because I've always loved singing and music but I never made my own music because I honestly thought I just couldn't do it. I have also loved making videos and editing since I was like 10 and I honestly felt that youtube was my calling lol, but I always feared that people from my school would see my videos, so i deleted a bunch that I put so much effort into :(
However, I've recently been trying to write soo many originals, and even get back to making videos (maybe short films) and trying to figure out what capabilities I hold. Never put yourself down or doubt yourself. It inspires me to see those around my age living pretty much my dreams because I'm like hey, it's not too late, I'm still young (:
kafleeen yee
I learnt this year that I am naive. That there's so much that I don't know and that being wrong is completely alright. It's okay to be wrong and I need to accept that I am wrong once in a while.
I think this is my favorite video on the internet. wow 100x thumbs up 💓
Maggie Elizabeth I SOO AGREE!! this is definitely among my favourite videos on the internet - I wanna live by these words of wisdom my whole life💫💫💫
The worrying thing didn’t matter to me when I watched it for the first time, but now I can’t stop worrying. Coming back to his old TH-cam videos are very calming though
this hits different when you see on twitter people saying, he glorifies depression, even tho this video exist, even tho is a coping mechanism, even tho he's a human, and he takes responsabilty for his actions, and likes to be held accountable, that's why we love you Conan, stay safe, and don't forget we love you to death, this things happen and you are so strong to keep surviving, love u :)
exactly. i miss these times though when he was out little secret
Something I've learnt is that feeling sad about something or getting upset doesn't make you attention-seeking and it doesn't make you a drama queen. Your emotions are valid and you shouldn't beat yourself over how you feel about things.
I love this! Very inspirational
Hey I didn't know you watched Conan! Love your videos😊💕
Absolutely amazing! You're making me cry Conan 😊😂 this is beautiful and I totally agree with everything you've said, I don't think anyone could have put it into better words... I'm 16 and I really needed this, especially number 15
it's okay to cry. once and awhile, it could get to be to much. we, as humans, aren't supposed to hold our emotions forever. it's okay to be vulnerable once and awhile to just be. just be who you are and let yourself go and not care what you look like or what to say or what others are thinking. it's okay.
"Learning how to forgive." For the past few months I held grudges that's been ripping me apart and hurting me. Yesterday, I finally let that go and I feel so refreshed.
i misssss him making youtube videos 🥺 but i’m so happy he made it big!
i turned 18 in September and i feel so pressured to have my life together and i dont at all. im literally doing nothing with my life while kids my age are in college. lowkey freaking out
Your room is such goals
I'm soo proud of you conan , happy heather's day , that sweater suits you alot .
It is incredible that certain things which you wrote down I have only just discovered myself, and I'm 22. It truly shows that you have embraced every aspect of your life, the good and the bad, took time to observe and analyse your circumstances and learned from them. This makes you such a wise and unique soul.
I have only recently subscribed but I can't be happier for what you have already achieved at 18. To be this sure of yourself is a big feat, it takes decades for most people to get to this point.
Big things are headed your way and I'm rooting for you! :)
i just turned 18 as well and I wrote down some of the lessons l learned by now like you did.. I cannot share everything but some of them are.....
1. cliché, but most importantly, live your present to the fullest
2. there are so many people out there who are in desperate need, we MUST become helps to them because we have been helped so much as well and it's important to know the value of sharing.
3. everyone is broken in some way and it is good to accept our own flaws because we are all imperfect humans
4. last thing here, there are always bad days as there are also good days. Sometimes we think that our lives suck because of those bad days, but it's just them, not that your life is bad.
I know I'm really late, but what I learned is that I deserve the best... Not in a selfish way, but I was in a very abusive (more mentally than physically) relationship, and I lost so many people I loved because of it, especially me... But from that, I learned I deserve so much better than that. I deserve someone who truly loves who I am and I most importantly deserve to be happy and love myself. I continue to grow from this lesson, even today when I wore something different than what's excepted at school, because I loved it. But to sum things up, thank you Conan. You may not think this, but you help a lot of people with getting through things, so I'm very thankful for you ❤
I was having a bad day and I came across this video. I hope Conan knows how much the world needs him.
You have no idea how glad i am to have found you. And im so thankful that you are doing this . ❤
In the chaos that was 2016 learned to shape yourself and be comfortable in your own skin because people will let you down and you have to be in charge of your own happiness. you can't please everyone, so you've gotta please yourself. Thank you for being a wonderful human Conan. Your friends are lucky to have you.
you're videos always inspire me to be more creative and look at things a more positive way :)
one thing I've learned is to "never compare yourself to others." you are you and there is no changing that. don't waste your time comparing yourself. you are the best you, you can be and you have so much potential and ability. so don't lose your spark.
So I want to say EVERYTHING I've been feeling since the day I found you on TH-cam but that would be really hard. I've tried to be a better person ALWAYS but I always failed. The thing that my mom isn't proud of me really made me feel sad and guilty. Since the time I became depressed and overly sensitive I felt like everything and everyone is against me because no one actually cared about me; not my parents nor my friends but I didn't care so I continued trying to impress people around me, to make my mom proud. I started learning to school a lot and I helped people. But like I said at the begging I've failed several times and I tried to take my life away. But then I found you here, on TH-cam. You are the type of person who seems like the most kind and most worth it. You are my inspiration and by watching you and listening to you I've learned that I have to wait for success and keep trying, not giving up. I think all I just wrote is total nonsense but I had to write because I've been holding this in me for so long. So thank you Conan. ❤ [sorry for all my mistakes but English isn't my first language and I'm still learning]
Common I have watched you since you were like a fetus on TH-cam and I just love you I am 98% sure you are not watching this comment but I want you to know that you have been such a great part of my life and love you I wish I could meet you once
you go on just keep moving i hope you have a great new year
i AM reading this comment and i am so grateful for you!! happy new years!
this is the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard
Hey Conan I hope you could see this message. Your music is angelic, and even you are now famous and I look back to this video, I dunno why I cried. I am in a stagnant pain now, this video somehow has cheered me up a lot, and feels like you have worked so hard to achieve this present moment ( now is 2021 and Conan has grown up n living in his dream) You have always be an inspiration for us. Thank you for your being, thank you little cone, astronomy cone, and the future you. I am not a crazy fan but I am healed for your being not only your music. You are an amazing human being. I hope someday I can be like you, shines through the night. Blessed be🪐🌍💫⭐️
i learned somthing 2 days ago. that when you feel alone you always have sombody out there that can help you just by writing a message to you.even if they are on the other side of the world
You are so wise and your mindset is so inspirational. Thank you for your videos. I know life won't be perfect, and i've learned that the hard way. I definitely have to take notes. Thank you so much xoxox
Last year I fell into depression again because of unhealthy friendships, so I just want to tell everyone : it's okay to walk away from so-called friends because they make you anxious or depressed. It's okay to let people go even if it makes hurting them, and hurting you. You'll be grateful one day that you did so. you deserve so much better than being trapped with someone who doesn't love you the right way.
one of the few places i feel loved is here. it feels like conan and me are friends and we are just chatting here together. you are such a wonderful human being conan. TRULY one of a kind and i, no, WE love you for that. continue on inspiring others. i am very much proud of you. ❤️
Conan's handwriting is so neat and clean better than mine. He is amazing I am not gonna lie
How can he just write down this complete wisdom, like when I write stuff down it sounds like a five year old 😭
conan, i'm literally sobbing. idk. i always make mistakes and i hate myself for doing those mistakes. watching this, it feels like ugh idk what to say i'm crying omg but like thank you for this. even though this was like a video for yourself, i think i'll learn a lot, too. thanks again. ily.
I hope you still remember your old self , can’t be more proud of how far you came conan 💘
You inspired me to start TH-cam and I'm only on 2483 but I'm loving making videos soooo much! Thanks conan 😊❤️❤️
This is so creative I like this I'm 18 and your 18 lessons are so wonderful for me to know with this new year I'm so happy for you and this amazing experience you shared with us Thank You 😊
This was playing in the background while i was making art, and then i noticed that i was crying. This reached down to me on such a personal level and I want to thank you for unlocking something in me that has been trying to get out. If only more people could hear these wise words, this world would be a happier place. I love who you are and are becoming Conan.
I learnt that taking care and loving yourself is top priority. Don't disappoint yourself, when you know that you are so much capable of doing more. I am always afraid of having to clean up my old stuff be it giving away school books, clothes or items because I don't want to dig up my past and having the memories sticking to me like glue inside my brain everytime I touch something valuable. Thoughts like 'what if', 'i should've done it' comes running through my brain and I find myself stuck in the past. I learnt to be brave and to let go and put away items in the past amd to welcome those coming in the future. Btw, I recently found your channel and I'm deeply in love with it. ❤❤
there is a moment in time when I realize who and what has made my life so amazing, and I can't honestly that you enough for just being the person you are. I am forever grateful that you took your camera out and videotaped your life because it has inspired me to live up to the fullest and just be myself. So I thank you for making yourself an inspiration to not only me but to many others♡ congrats on 18!! I hope many opportunities and more come your way. I love you .
The most important lesson I learnt this year was this: A trend is when someone jaywalks and the rest of the crowd waiting realise its safe and follows, but that is the scenario when everyone who crossed has lost their individuality, except for the one who crossed first.
Youre a special individual and although trends are the safest and easiest way to be with the crowd, you do not stand out for yourself unless you furst take the risk.
Something that I learned was to let go of people who have a negative effect on you. A lot of time we form connections to certain people and those connections sometimes change and that's okay. People that you thought would have for the rest of your time may leave and there's nothing you can do about it. Reflecting on the past is important, but not as important as moving forward in the future, without the weight of someone who makes you feel like you aren't good enough. Because you are, even though it's something that I haven't comes to turn with.
Good luck with your year! I'm turning 18 soon too and I'm also dealing with the future head on and I now realize the only way to deal with it is to do just that- deal with it. Much love!
this is literally one of the most inspiring and eye opening videos i have ever watched, this video made me feel less worried about my future ( i have my o levels tomorrow) thank you so much Conan! ^-^
I've been watching Conan's old videos and watching this video made me realise how conan has matured so much over his time on TH-cam
tbh all ur vids are so inspiring thank u for blessing us
this video made me cry so damn hard because I realised how much I want to change in my life, but I feel like I don't have enough will and power to change it.
I always revisit this whenever i feel lost, and it never fails to help me find myself again. Thank you for putting it out there.
you are literally my inspiration. I started drawing again because of you, writing in my journal that I let pick up dust for years, and you helped me learn how to just let go. so, thanks for that Conan 🌟💕
I learned that the only person you have to answer to is yourself at the end of the day and shouldn't let others dictate what you think is right for you
Wow, I just watched a video where you were sixteen... You have grown so much and I adore your wisdom and kindness. You are the calmest, happiest person I can think of, and it's really inspiring to know what you have gone through and to see you smile everyday. Never stop shinning, Love You!!
I will be 18 in 12 days and i made the same mistakes this year , but my biggest was letting people affect my choices , my life and i am determined to change that ! I wish you a happy new year full of happiness and success
Wtf you already have 141k!! I remember when you had 41k. I'm glad you're growing so much😊. One of my favorites this month was a bomber jacket I got at the thrift store that is navy blue with gold trim and has an antique clock design on the back :)
this year I've basically learned that you don't really need someone to be happy. Like most of my life I've thought that being ''popular'' among people means that you are more loved than anybody else but that isn't true because most of these persons are hypocrites.What I mean is that you don't have to wait for someone to be happy.You have yourself and that's already amazing. Start to love yourself do you can love others.
I'm 18 and feeling very lost in college but somehow watching your videos makes me calm and happy
don't be afraid to talk to your parents or other adults. they might be intimidating, but chances are they have been through what you're going through. if you need to ask for help, ask. it's okay to take breaks. it's okay to step into the unknown, because if nothing else, you will learn something.
Hi Conan! So I just discovered you a few days ago and you have inspired me to start a TH-cam channel! You are definitely not like every other TH-camr, it's so refreshing! I never thought about doing a channel until now and I'm super excited and inspired. You're doing a great job! Keep it up. I know you'll go far! God Bless 😊
I turn 18 in a couple of months and I wish I'd thought to do this! Self-reflection is such an interesting thing to look back on, especially when you're around this age where everything seems to be in a state of limbo and is constantly changing. Really interesting and the style you showed it in was so cute!
This brought me to tears.
I'm not perfect (and I'm not claiming to be) but it's hard for me to make important mistakes. Writing that out, I feel dumb. But if you think about it , everything important that we learn comes from a substantial mistake we make. I'm lived my entire life thus far way to cautious and anxious and uncomfortable just worrying about things that haven't even begun to happen yet. I haven't let myself make these mistakes. This puts me in a bittersweet position because, on the one hand, less mistakes and less cleaning up those mistake. But on the other hand, I'm not letting myself grow up the way I should be naturally. 2016 was an emotional roller coaster for me (and probably countless others of you) and just 1 day into 2017 I've decided that this year is the year I finally stick to a resolution. I will take risks and let my true voice shine through despite all of the flashing signs in my head telling me it's a bad idea. I want to make my own mistakes and learn lessons that are 100% my own. This is the year that I let myself become the person that I am rather than the person that I want to be.
Sorry for the novel but this video really made me take a step back and realize that I'm not too perfect to make mistakes like the rest of the world and that perfection is just a captivating mindset that I need to free myself from. Conan, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤️
this video made me cry, mostly because it is the same stuff i have come to realize in 2016 and only validated my thoughts even more. thank you!
I'll have to play this video over and over again throughout this year. I am very grateful for this video and all the others and for the fact that you exist.Thank you so SO much. Have a splendid new year !
Sometimes you just have days where you're not alright, or okay. And that's okay too, sometimes you just need to accept that everyday can't be super productive, or happy, but it's important to draw the positives from whatever type of day you're having. Be kind to yourself.
I discovered your channel last night and it was honestly one of the best things to ever happen to me.
Thank you for this video. I built up the courage to message my ex best friend after having a really bad "break up" that ended on a bad note. I told her I was grateful that she was there for me and hoped that she had a great year to come. Thank you, Conan. I learnt to move on :')
I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOUR VIDEOS omg I'm dying every time you upload. you're so inspiring and are able to make me happy when I'm feeling down and sad.
life has been great with you in my life. all your songs, advice, and mostly your art have been a blessing to me. i love how you always put God in every single video. i love you Conan 💘💘
-stop blaming yourself for bad things you are involved in. perhaps it is important to understand that those bad things will pass.
-if you want positivity in your life, you have to do it yourself. in the grander scheme, cutting out negative influences may temporarily help, but put in the effort to be the flourishing individual.
-exemplify what you believe in, so long as you don't harm others in the process.
-do not break the wrist of the hand that you shake (metaphorically and literally).
-tear down your facade for somebody, because there is at least one person in your life that cares.
-its okay to feel sad or to feel angry or to feel any negative emotion because it is what all humans do.
-if you like noodles, eat noodles darn it.
-do not seek affirmation in the wrong people. and do not let this quest break the relationships which you already have.
-it is OKAY to seek professional help on something. sometimes we need more help than what we are getting.
-you get out of something exactly what you put in.
-if you want to change, you cannot expect change to come to you.
-even though your future is hazy, appreciate how clear the present is and anticipate that it will one day be as focused.
-do things sporadically and spontaneously. how many people can say they've taught their grandmother how to hula hoop?
-if chaos can lead you to calm, then sit the storm out for the antecedent sunshine.
-it is okay to fall, to fail, to embarrass yourself because it gives you a pretty good reason to try again.
-your best is good enough.
sixteen things learned by a sixteen-year-old.
oh m'y god, you just have a heart of gold ! You're the kindest person that i've ever knew , you CAN be proud of you , stay strong ! You are Perfect, because you are YOU .
Your mind and soul are older and wiser beyond your years. I can't wait to see you and your channel grow, whether that be numerically or not. 2017 will, for me too, be a step into adulthood. With university, new faces and experiences awaiting us, it's only upwards from here! I adore your channel, thank you for these videos.
you are truthfully one of my top favorite youtubers your so real and your talent makes me feel creative . I love the your voice and it makes me brake emotionaly (in a good way)
and your videos (which I need more of) gives me hope for my life in school, TH-cam, and at home. I have learned inorder to grow I have to keep making content and never stop doing what I love. one day I cryed because I didn't have a video idea and I was not getting any subs but then I wastched ur videos and it inspered me to make videos today. I love art and TH-cam and in order to grow I have to suck it up and turn on my camera and be myself. Thank you
Omg thank u for "loving my comment" as TH-cam notified me 😂
I love this so much! ❤️
one thing i learnt was that pride will eat you up whole. when you do something wrong and not acknowledge it or just push it aside, or even blame other people for your mistakes, will do nothing good to anybody. doing wrong things is okay. apologize to the people you've done wrong to and in the future, be proud of your mistakes. laugh at them. but most importantly, learn from them. because that will make you who you are.
2016 was a blessing although it was a long rocky road
I've learned that it's okay to and that I often NEED to leave friendships and relationships that hurt me unapologetically. If they don't reach out to me afterwards, I don't need to feel bad about ending the friendship, because I did it to protect myself.
came here in 2020 and realized i was too late. i missed it all and now all i do sob about what i have lost😔
Some things I've learned:
If your heart gets broken, it will hurt. But it will also pull you so much closer to the people who really care about you and you will find love and support when you need it most.
Be gentle to yourself- you deserve it.
Who you are is always enough, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
It's ok to feel terrible sometimes. You're human and emotional, not every day will be a happy day.
It's also ok to feel happy- not every feeling has to be a bad feeling.
Conan is my spirit animal and these lessons are things that i'm sure will keep me grounded
conan you've honestly made my day I'm soo glad I came across your channel you seem like such a nice and genuine sweet loving person, your friends are so lucky to have you in their lives, watching your videos is so peaceful and they make my day a 100x better
And my learning lesson to myself is stop thinking i know all of my friends heart, bc sometimes people besides you just dont show their real face and its okey, just keep them away your life bc you deserve better.
is it just me, or every time i watch Conan's videos they inspire me to bring out my wild side!
This was such a cute video. It really helped me feel less alone. The fact that we're the same age made it even better because we are going through similar points in our life, I have no one to talk to most of the time so this really meant a lot Conan :)
the way i'm still living by these at 21. thank you conan
You're the only person in the entire universe who inspired me to write journals again! 💜
I just wanted to say you've inspired me so much and you seem like such a kind hearted person and you give me some hope that there's actually good people in society so thanks for being you.. god bless
Love your positivity, it makes me snap out of my pessimistic thoughts thank you
honestly, your voice just relaxes me too much
I just can’t stop watching your all video and songs and can’t stop thinking about your beautiful voice and such good vibed person you are
I know I should probably try to live more by some of these words. The one about needing other people really hit home. I tend to isolate myself when I'm feeling down and overthink everything and just drown in thoughts and the best thing to do would be to talk to others, but sometimes you need to learn things the hard way before you do anything about it... Anyway, being self reflective and learning along the way is such a good way to improve as a person, and I think you've got the hang of it Conan😘
