      Joel, is this a fake youtube account in your name? I've gotten a couple of messages from it. Thought you should know if you need to report it. th-cam.com/channels/XCEK5eZ0RzyuFOmZ8UnTUw.htmlabout

      Once the North and York, runs out of Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Wintergreen, Chewing Gum..that's it. They lose their capital...and everyone starts chewing gum for their digestive health. Essential Oil, gum chewing snobs..haha Joking. Betrayal, I may need a Yorky that is ABKFC approved.

    It’s heartbreaking that we are here watching and being entertained and Joel has to put up with all this collateral damage because of it. Seems very unfair.

    • @TheJoelWood

    Love how Ava saw you upset and came to cheer you up, she's so sweet! Sorry to hear you're dealing with creeps and people overstepping the bounds...seems like all the more reason to not share about Keegan's kids :( People are weird! I love hearing you describe your introverted tendencies as things you love about yourself - honestly I don't think everyone gets what it is to live a quiet life and enjoy your own company.

    Joel, I think you're a postive person in our community, I watch you because your entertaining and I see a lot of my introvertedness through you. I would not be able to handle all the psycho people. What matters is the thousands of us that are here because you positively benefit our lives as well as the people you bring in your videos.

    Aww this makes me so sad that you’re hurting. It’s the dark side that’s come with the internet that people feel entitled to know everything right now & it gets ugly. I hope you know you’re a freaking bright light of a person that we love and care about & you deserve all the happiness in the world. Don’t let the bad eggs overshadow all the positive comments you get. Sending hugs from Texas. 🤗

    Joel, it hurts me to see you cry but thank you so much for being real with us. I hate to hear that some people are being so mean to you. You DON'T deserve that! Please just try to ignore those people and what they say, even though I know it must be hard to do. I had no idea that it was that bad and it makes me very angry because you are such a good person. DON'T believe the things they say. You are loved and appreciated by so many people. ❤

    Joel I think you and your videos are fantastic and am glad to be a VIP member. I have been in the public eye in my community for many years and know how viscous people can be especially behind a computer. One thing a person told me years ago was “What others think of me is none of my business.” Which really helped me out because I was a people pleaser and was too concerned of what others thought of. Just remember you are the number one that matter’s.😊

    Thank you for putting this video up Joel. From up here it seems so easy to open yourself up online. You're being vulnerable and honest for so many people to see. I know it's your job but still. I'm not a TH-camr but I assume it takes a lot of gut to do it all.

    It takes ALOT of courage to film your life - letting people into your personal daily routine. When I watch your videos I always wish you the best of your day/life/struggles/happiness.
    Thank you for staying true to yourself and being a positive role model in people lives.

  • @nour_osman
    @nour_osman ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Awww don’t worry about getting upset in the video. Your feelings are valid and understandable, you’re human! And us “normal people” understand that. A lot of people only show the happy things and good side of things.. and if me, as a viewer, am always seeing these things and this side of people…I’m left feeling like the odd one out when things aren’t feeling so happy for me.. So seeing you getting upset and the reasons, really just makes it feel like we can relate to a degree, ya know? Like it’s normal to be hurt and feel uncomfortable with things and to even cry and get upset. Please don’t apologize for getting upset, really it’s okay. And ya know, some people are just evil and don’t care how they make other people feel.. they just don’t care at all. Try to remember this when you get people saying these hurtful things…and try your best to ignore it…because we can’t control what other people say, only how we react.

  • @sally5983
    @sally5983 ปีที่แล้ว

    Joel, I really felt that last bit of your vid was truly heartbreaking BUT you know what? kudos to YOU for keeping it in because it will remind ALL of us ( the internet) that we should be mindful of boundaries and not be too familiar. It's much like the angry driver who yells or tries to intimidate another driver, they only do it because they don't think there's going to be a consequence, it's the same for internet trolls and fanatics. Pity them for who they are and take solace that if your life wasn't so bloody great with your career, your friends, Keegan, little Ava, owning your own home, travelling the world they wouldn't be so jealous!
    My last bit of advice for whatever it's worth is to try and connect with more youtubers than those you already have and with those connections will be others who are going through similar I'm sure. Also your management should have some support in this area for you. With both those things it might help you make sense of it all and hopefully it will feel a lot less personal. Don't give weight to the haters words, they are just words.

  • @BernieMarsiglia1971
    @BernieMarsiglia1971 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Joel, this was a really honest and lovely update. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing some of the darker parts of what it’s like being in your position. I can only imagine how challenging it is, as people can be absolutely awful. And the reality is, there are so many unstable people out there, you have to be thoughtful and aware of your safety and well-being. That said, it sounds like you have lots of wonderful people in your life to help keep your mind at ease, and you are very intelligent and reasonable, so I’m sure that wins out most of the time. When it doesn’t? You have gin and tonic! 😂 Keep your chin up and know that the large majority of your fans are good hearted, normal folks who just enjoy watching and being happy for someone who seems like an all-around great guy. 🙏🏼😎

    @brentfisher6484 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for your heartfelt sharing of your life and daily 'coming and goings'. It's tragic how mean people can be. If it's any comfort, know that even in nonpublic career paths there are incredibly mean and disgusting people who invest heavily in making others unhappy.
    Love your candor and frankly I'm learning a lot about Britain and its diversity (or sometimes lack there of). We yanks think we're the only country with diversity challenges, how sad is that?! Getting the scoop from another country and from a point of view like yours is really valuable.
    Thanks!!

    JOEL!!!! I Sincerely hope you are well. I came across your vlog a couple months ago,I have been catching up on every episode And I thoroughly have enjoyed every vlog I came across🤭. You have such a positive outlook on the WORLD and make connections with your viewers. Never ever let negative comments upset you like the November 2022 vlog did-that really didn't settle to nicely with me. This world is full of haters, because individuals are miserable in their life and the need to attack someone else's success validates them.lemme ask u this..whom is on various social media platforms you or the haters,food for thought. Excellent work super proud of you, continue what you love the most, now and later you shall prevail. Cheers AMICO (friend) in italiano.sammy 🇮🇹🇺🇲🌈

    Joel I enjoy your IG and TH-cam. I understand there are pressures, as in most jobs. Don’t be upset you showed us how that feels. Ava was so sweet to comfort you. Keep being you. 💙

    This was a really fun and interesting video Joel!!! I am happy to hear that you have come to the realization that you need to do what is best for you and your mental health. You are never going to be able to please everyone all the time. I am so sorry that you have people that make you feel uncomfortable and unsafe. It would be so easy to say “just ignore them” but for someone that is as kind and sensitive as you, that is not always possible. I know that there are a lot of TH-camrs that I watch who have therapy sessions to help with their mental health. Don’t apologize for showing your feelings!!! By the way, I love Tyler and Todd as well!!!

    You and Keegan are brave to put part of your lives on-line for people to see. I understand your issues with the trolls and people who say inappropriate things and ask very personal questions. As a moderator on a YT livestream cam watching trains in British Columbia, sometimes we have issues with trolls and strange people. But we have the advantage of being able to remove their comments from chat and even banning them. Privileges probably not afforded to you, which is sad. Privacy in this modern world is a priceless and it should be respected. I have only been watching for a few days. But enjoyed all your videos. Keep up the good work.

    Bless you. I'm sure it is difficult with the trolls. It's hard to just ignore someone especially if you are getting that vibe.

    Joel, I just woke up and was feeling overwhelmed by thoughts of loss and sadness over Mom, Dad and only Brother. Admittedly crying and feeling at ends my first thought like yours was to just STOP what I was feeling so LOL I went straight to my dogs for unconditional love & support. That helped a little as it always has but still the heaviness persisted so next I decided to use distraction so I popped up TH-cam within seconds of scrolling news and Karen stories your clip was in front of me and I could tell you were in distress. So great here I am trying to avoid my sadness and someone I have just recently gotten to know and admire is in the dumps as well. We don't know each other but I know a kind heart when I see one. We put up a strong front and for most part so that we can fend off all the stress of work and people that disappoint us but we have know we are not superhumans' and have a breaking point... we have all dropped drop a spoon at some point that just through us into down spiral. Then we freak out on ourselves because "why did I fall apart over a Spoon". On some level we know that the spoon carried within it all those feelings that we had built and avoided. LOL Back to me now because that was obviously about you (and 1000s of others) So I see you in distress and like myself having puffy eyes from crying. You then shakily try to hold it together start your Q & A and you begin and I hear my name within your first set of questions... was in a fog and was still not awake heard you talking me and was like am I still sleeping? OMG I lost it laughing between tears and trying to figure out if was dreaming or not. Here I am living alone feeling a bit lost looking for some type of validation or understanding of the "whys" in life...Why did this have to happen? Why is this happening to me? Then comes the "How" How I'm going to deal with this " How" am I going to deal everything? I turned to you ...yes you someone half my age who I have never met or spoken with to give me solice. Not only did you lift up them up but I threw them out window . Here is a "Why" Because I needed to try and help you because that is "How" we get through life leaning on each other when we are in need of support. You are under a lot of pressure all anyone has to do is watch your clips you outright say this is all too much...words out of your mouth but not heard with your ears. I think others would agree with me that I would rather a 30 second tidbit of you saying your going relax than a volg of your time stuffing content trying to satisfy all nof us. Bottom line is you have the followers you do because you touch peoples heart in so many ways and best thing is you don't know that you are doing it. So my friend thank you for being so vulnerable allowing us/me in and for just being there as you were for me today, You said you were okay with juicy but neither one of us thought we would have ended up in a blender. Tomorrow will come regardless and who knows what will be on that plate but from right now know you I many thousands care about you. LOL Now I'm going have breakfast and kick my butt out to work on some house projects. (to be continued)

    Hi Joel 👋. Oh, man. This video today was one of your best. It was also one of the most upsetting videos for me to watch. I just want to give you a big hug and tell you that things will be okay but I can't even do that. The reason being, as you quite well know, is that the more popular one gets on TH-cam, the more people who are psychologically damaged will crawl out of the woodwork. Several well known people over the years (entertainers, spouses of government leaders, etc) have said that the most hurtful and scary thing that they have had to deal with was the horrendous comments they read about either their families or themselves. One person said that she reached the point where she couldn't read any articles that might contain comments related to her family or herself. Honestly, I don't know how I would deal with that. I do know that you are a good, kind and loving person who doesn't want to intentionally hurt anyone's feelings. I know that you will find strength through realizing that there are so many wonderful people in your life and among your viewers who absolutely, "have your back" and feel your pain watching you tell us of some of these wicked people. Even ignoring them is hard to do but it is probably the only solution to this problem unless you need to take legal action for your own protection (like the stalkers). I know that you will deal with this and get beyond it as you are a strong and resilient person. Please know that you will always have unconditional support and love from all of your friends, family and loyal viewers. Take care, good buddy. Have a pleasant and rewarding weekend. 🫂❤️🙏🌎🕊

All I can say is most of us love you for it and that’s why we follow your channel, it would be a shame to loose that openness but if you ever felt that’s what you needed to do to protect yourself we would understand. ❤
