    You probably grossly underestimate how many people you’ve connected with over the years, but this one feels especially candid and refreshing. Hope you stick around, Drew.

    Drew is genuinely so smart when it comes to saying things most people cant put into words.

    Loving yourself in a world that profits off of every way it can make you hate yourself, is the bravest thing you can do.

    “I just work at an aquarium now. I didn’t have to apply, I don’t have to clock in, I don’t smell like fish, I just straight up work there.” Honestly goals.

    Loving yourself is so hard! It feels fake and egotistical at times, but you’re so right, it’s a matter of survival. Glad to see this update from you, and please let me touch a stingray at the aquarium.

    Drew’s fan base has got to be one the most compassionate and understanding. We’re always so happy to hear from him and there’s never pressure from us for him to upload. We genuinely care about his well being and can appreciate the bits and pieces he’s willing to share with us. We’re also hilarious because King Drew is effortlessly the funniest in the platform by far.

    I watched one of your videos years ago and now once every few years I get recommended a new video from you and I'm totally hear for it! I recently read a book called "Digital Minimalism" which helped me rethink my relationship with tech and the platforms I post content on it. I highly recommend it after hearing your thoughts about the Internet. I feel happier than ever after analyzing my own behavior through that book!

    "if i dont love myself, i will die." is honestly so beautful and has so much truth to it, like wow

    The title could have been "eating toast" and I would have clicked just as fast! Was having a bad year and you just made my year!

    That mitski tweet when she said “I used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. For some of us our best revolt is self preservation”

    The part about needing a relationship with yourself really spoke to me. We need to stop being so negative to our inner monologues and start talking to ourselves like we don't hate who we are all the time.

    Thank you for existing. My daughter has had crippling anxiety since she was 9 yrs old. We have watched you on TH-cam for a long time. When you talk about your struggles with mental health it gives her hope. It makes her feel not alone.

    Drew is like the nice uncle you never really see often but always hope the best for him and wish you’d see him more.

    “I will die if I don’t say I love you.” This line hit so deep. I’m writing this comment in bed after one of the worst depression slumps ever and cried from watching you verbalize everything I was thinking so beautifully, yet again. You are a consistent inspiration. I hope one day you can appreciate yourself as much as we appreciate and cherish you.

    It worries me that every tangent you go on makes sense to me.

    this video gives me so much comfort, and i feel a little guilty for that because i know this video comes from a place that was so dark

    Watching this again after his new video really gives a different perspective

    “What’s wrong with a little bit of numbness? Don’t I deserve that?” I’m absolutely taking that up with my therapist this week.
