I am glad TH-cam is becoming a place where there is no judgement for body or looks. It thrives to be a platform for connection, love, acceptance and respect. Love you Sahini and kudos to conquering your fears. More power and love to you.
Jaa iccha korbe khaabe,it's ur life,ur body,u make it, u dnt order anyone to make it for you my mil kept body shaming me,now am 53,it has definitely affected me,so dnt bother,enjoy life,it's a gift frm god not humans
@@Feashts I think you look very beautiful ! N ur body is cute ! Bollywood is making a certain body type the norm, but women are beautiful when they r happy from inside !
No judgement Sahini. Kolkata does it to us. I live in Kolkata,and have never felt confident when I need to travel. We hide behind books, excuses and overthink unnecessarily.i have now realised that No one really cares or remembers as they are too busy in their own heads and their own lives,insecurities, priorities and goals. So I started living freely,not thinking about what others maybe thinking of me. I try to dress well, order a new set of clothes 2 weeks before travel . Small steps. Keep going.
Felt like I watched a feel good short film. Everything crafted measured. Content, camera angle, lighting, background sound all were astounding.U rewrote this platform is not to show one particular emotions, but real life.
oh my gosh. oh my gosh! You don't know how much this means to me. I make sure to write intentionally and well so it conveys something meaningful. Thank you
Dear Sahini, I don't write well, but your video made me smile. Seems like I'm not alone. 10 days ahead of my 34th birthday (single), as I was reflecting on the last year, your video felt very relaxing and liberating from the chase, the rush of life.
As an almost 40 year old woman, I totaly got back in time to my 20s, travelling alone for the first time, then first international trip, ordering room service first time, taking a train to a new city in a new country all myself... how much I have forgotten how special all those firsts were !! Love this
Such a nice video.... Im 36yrs old n have 2 kids (9yr & 3yr)....Im a post graduate in pharmacy but never got the opportunity to work... Im 36 n have not earned a penny till date... Im completely dependent on my husband... From childhood i always wanted to be financially independent but my husband doesn't want me to work... He doesn't respect my feelings understand my problems... I don't have freedom to go out alone.Putting in one phrase im like a robot n he has my remote. He is good at other things like taking us out on weekends and all but still I feel bad for not letting me live the way I want to... According to him men r superior over women n men need not respect women. I still choosento continue to live with him because I want my kids to get the love from both mother n father. From past 5years I have been doing many online courses to seek a work from home job which he would not mind me doing, but didn't find any till date. Hope one day I can live my life the way I want.
@@deepthipasupuleti9596 Hey, you can do many things online keep on learning from online courses and start posting from any social media platforms and be consistent you will definitely get your ways🙏
@@shalinibisht thank you so much for ur advise... Yes I have completed Internship in digital marketing n completed course in content writing and email marketing as well. Trying to find intern or fresher or entry level jobs. For practical experience I have created a Facebook business page and also planning to write a blog. But I don't get enough time with my kids. Planning to take tuitions for kids from my next building. Trying everything from my side.
you can see on fueler..i saw an opening related to newsletter writers.a profile on fueler would help you leaps and bounds.the community is also welcoming🎉
I can't fathom how women choose to live with a man who don't even see them as just another human being. I appreciate your determination of doing something of your own it's truly empowering and I hope you achieve it as well. Make sure your kids don't grow up with this idea of men being superior to women . I have been in a journey of success and failure .I am aware how words of our closed ones affect our mental health. Doesn't matter what you do if you don't get acknowledged and appreciated it feels truly demotivating.But with time I have accepted that if you want to achieve something do it for yourself and stop looking for validation. Just so you know you can do it.All the best.
She is so pure. I admire her so much. As me myself anxious and middle class Bangali girl from a very small city, with problematic household. I aspire to get out my fears and choosing myself 💖
Firstly, I'm so proud of you because you were brave enough go. Insecurities are a part of us but we can't let them define us. I genuinely think that you're a beautiful person 🤍✨
Fear and insecurities are timeless. I struggle a lot with attending events and hanging out with friends simply because my weight is the first thing they notice, even when I was at my thinnest. I too am a Bengali girl living miles away from home, trying to make a life true to myself. Your content is both inspiring and heartwarming. I hope you stay true to yourself too. Godspeed Sahini
FYI, a lot of people go through the fear of not belonging but never have the courage to express it. You just made me drop a tear. You are doing great, dear and millions of people love your authenticity and gentleness.... those are good qualities we seldomly see these days. I'm glad you took that trip. the next ones become easier
I am literally moved by this! I am a person who is also afraid of meeting new people and for that I blame myself that i am not good enough....this made me feel so much better!
I feel for you because i also do these same things. I deny myself opportunities because I don't look the right way or have the right clothes. We have to be kinder to ourselves!
Dearest Sahini, I am wonderfully surprised at how much of myself I see in you because it is so rare that I find people like me. My fears, my insecurities, my particular anxieties have always been mine alone. So, to see this video (or should I say the gentlest-yet-tightest-of-hugs) made me feel quite a lot of things. I saw myself being fearful. For you? For me? Questions for later. I too tend to avoid meeting new people or go new places alone despite knowing that most often I have the best of experiences when I take the leap. The fear takes over and temporarily erases the past happy experiences making those memories fictitious. I know my brain needs proof that this is a totally safe thing that I am doing, and hence it is important that I take the leap. But this only adds to the pressure (from me, which is worse). So, watching this video and seeing you shine your kind light so beautifully makes me so so happy. It felt like I did all of those wonderful things for some reason. I feel like we were best friends in some other lifetime. I wish I could give you a hug, like the one you beautifully made for all of us. Please take my love from these words and give yourself my hug. You are a very beautiful soul, and I wish you nothing but happiness. I love you, Sahini. And, I am so proud of you, my friend from another lifetime.
Hello. Thank you for writing to me. "I know my brain needs proof that this is a totally safe thing that I am doing, and hence it is important that I take the leap. But this only adds to the pressure (from me, which is worse). " : this part, I completely understand you. I sometimes feel frustrated that it keeps repeating every time a new experience is about to happen, but I think practice makes perfect. I am reading all your lovely comments. And there are so many of us. I am happy that you think I have helped you in some way. It makes me so so happy
@@AWarmHug-bw3jm thank you for writing this. It helps me to make sense of my own feelings. People think I m an extrovert, little do they know it is my way for dealing with my fears and anxieties.
Sahini, I felt like I was listening to my feelings. You echoed some points that made me reflect deeply. I realize I am loving and enjoying my solitude and becoming a recluse. Post covid, I fear being judged - weight gain, don't like dressing up. I hope you have a joyful time.
As someone with social anxiety and a big time overthinker , it gets really hard going out. Plus I am fat too. But things get better overtime, I started correcting thoughts and most importantly I believed myself. It was all a phase and eventually after I did scary things It was okay. So proud of you. All of need hugs and eventually we all learn and grow. Embrace the fears and the process. I promise youre more than worthy of everything gurl! ily
this video makes the Internet a better place❤️ you articulate complex emotions so beautifully! to be content is both being alone in a hotel room, making new friends and travelling alone, as well as the warm embrace of a loved one and their constant support and encouragement; there is no correct path
Dear Sahini, thank you for being vulnerable with us. It was so wonderful seeing you push your boundaries and enjoy, explore life ❤️ Thank you again for taking us along :,))
I have rarely left a comment but man this video hits home. You are an amazing storyteller. As someone born in the 90s, the social media wave just rushed through us and we started mindlessly consuming content in our teens and early 20s. It is now at 32, i am very conscious of the people i follow and the reasons i follow them for and you Sahini, are on top of the list. I am so glad to have found you. Thank you for your content and thank you for these very personal stories.
13:53 so what it was for me .. did I watch a youtube content creator video or the beautifully captured the real life with perfection and a small video of a middle class family life day with a fear and anxious and the best out of the world 🌎, you are the best you're out of this fake world . I don't know am I seeing myself or I'm seeing you as growing with simplicity ❤
I just wanted to say how much I related to you when you shared about your feelings. It really resonated with me, and I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Your content always feels so genuine, and it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone in these feelings. Thank you for being so real-it means a lot.❤
I don't know why you feel insecure, because when I see you all i see is a kind, happy little child who is living life slow and beautiful doing all that makes you happy, taking down time in a world which is moving nowhere so fast... Your inner innocence shines sooo bright 🌞❤ you're perfect the way you are, brave enough to just be you and accepting the simplicity of life... I know being an introvert and empath takes a toll on our mental health in a world of flashy things, but again that's what makes us so special ❤❤❤❤ So much love and power to you, as much as I enjoy your cooking, i think watching your videos always remind me that it's ok to take things one day at a time, everything doesn't have to be flashy.. life it still beautiful when it is calm, comfortable and slow... Thank you for constantly reminding us about it.. glad I made the right choice of going to the event, in the end the light from your soul shines brighter than your appearance... You are beautiful just the way you are ❤❤❤❤ much love to you!
This is what I pay my internet bill for.. Wholesome, inspiring, comforting and motivating all at once. I'm an introvert, and I have always been afraid to meet strangers or make new connections. I am even afraid to complain to the waiter if there's something wrong with my food. This video makes me feel better and definitely boosts my confidence.... Thank you !!!
It made me cry too. Dear Sahini, thank you for being so honest and pure and beautiful and putting bits and pieces of yourself here. I am so happy for you to achieve all the good things in life. Including your husband. God bless 🙏🏻
Your video was extremely relatable. I was always anxious to go out alone and be in a room full of strangers inspite of the most supportive husband and family ever. One day I just challenged myself to do it. Have never looked back after that. I love traveling alone now, I love exploring new cities and meeting new people. I dont care anymore about being judged. And as you summarised so well, everyone needs a hug, everyone is fighting their own insecurities. Love love love you for making this video. Love your courage❤ (shedding happy tears)
seeing you be so candid about this process... brings tears to my eyes because i feel SO SEEN. im so shy and so anxious all the time, and i worry so much and im so afraid all the time.. but this. this feels so comforting. im taking steps in my life outside my comfort zone and it can be soo difficult. but everyday that we do something new, we grow. we grow.
Hi Sahini. I used to think that my fear of facing unknown places and unknown people would go away once I grew up, but it has only increased. I have always hated, feared rather, going out of my comfort zone. I was on the brink of rejecting a good opportunity until I saw your video and after watching it I'm gonna book the flight ticket now. So, thank you and I am sure it is going to be worth it, yes "I should go".
Usually I don't comment anywhere but after watching this video I'm feeling something and I don't know how to express this feeling in words. I'm not saying it's the best video I have ever seen but this video is something I need to hear or probably I want to say to myself. Hugs to you.
So glad I found this. I have the same fears but when I look at you I see that you are so sweet, understanding, intuitive and see nothing wrong but then when I see myself, I only saw my insecurities. I realise that people are judged for everything.. if you are too quiet, if you are loud, or whoever you are so it's alright. Those words have no meaning.
Dear Sahini, Thank you for putting your thoughts out on TH-cam. I feel less lonely now after watching this. Lately I have been afraid to accept my body. I have zero friends and I spend most of the time inside my house doing chores and my office work. My parents and my expections don't match and the societal pressures often weigh me down and it feels heavy and constant fight. Thank you for giving the courage to keep moving and respecting yourself. Love you. xoxoxo
Being a housewife I always love your content, each one of us have fear ,those who overcome become winners like you. Just love the way you deliver the content. Hoping to see more.
I really resonated with your video since I’m battling the same insecurities. Thankyou for being real on TH-cam!! Right now we live in a world of unreal and toxic productivity. This needs to change.
Oh my god, I can't believe this video came to my TH-cam feed on the day before I turn 30. I was able to relate to you a 100%. Being a wallflower for most of my life, I have feared trying new things, meeting new people... I really know that growth comes only once you get out of your comfort zone, but never had the guts. I may not have achieved much compared to others of my age, but I am trying. I will be measuring my success based on my own metrics not on anyone else. And that is going to be my birthday wish and goal. Happy Birthday to me🥳🥳 and Thank you @Sahini Banerjee for this sweet video.
This is such a realistic video. I like your content and am a huge fan, but this just bought me even more closer to being self confident , shunning your fears, and pursuing your goals. Thanks Sahini.
4 months later, 11:30 PM on a random Friday this video reached me in a time when i really needed it. It felt like a warm hug. It felt like a reflection of myself. I saw myself in you and seeing you do the small things that I want to be able to do and achieve eventually made me so proud of you and excited for myself too. Thank you for this video, it deeply touched my heart. Much love to you Sahini 💕💕
You always remind me my best friend. But you are like me too. I know how you feel - I feel the same way all the time. Anxiety is part of my character. But you are so much braver than I could ever be. I'm happy when I see your vlogs. You are... Normal. Not perfect, just normal, with all your fears, and happy things. And this is truly beautiful. I hope social media never changes you because persons like me need to know that they aren't alone. I'm sending you lot of hugs 💙💙💙
Hi Sahini, Thanks for creating this vlog. It’s so comforting. I moved to a new country from India few years back and it has been a journey for me. Never faced anxiety back home. However after moving here I have faced anxiety, insecurity and didn’t have anyone to talk to. I take everyday as a challenge. I could relate and through your video I found out I’m not alone.
Some months down the line I know I'll have to be traveling alone since my better half is not from the same state and this video really has given me that boost of confidence as I'm such an introvert and come up with reasons to not do things.... n then I'm also conscious of being judged idk why but its some hidden fear....Thank You for this video, pure, raw and real❤
Hi Sahini! Watching this , I literally felt like I was seeing myself. A big big hug to you, thank you for making me realise that I am not alone in my insecurities. ❤
So relatable; why do we allow others to judge/misjudge us? You are an inspiration, Sahini. So very proud of what you do! Way to go, girl- this is your first baby step in a world that is not always kind but you will find the resilience to overcome your fears; you have come so far and still have a long way to go & you will get there.....love & courage coming your way!
This is so relatable! I love how you capture the simplicity in everything and how this whole montage is filled with simple things; making it so special! Really hit home for me in terms of the travel anxiousness and question capabilities and meeting new people.
So proud of you Sahani!! You make me feel so safe. I had tears in my eyes by the time this video ended. Pls don’t stop making videos. You give strength to lot of us.
Kudos to you on conquering your fears. Anxiety can be a bitch and I also suffer from it. However, you have a loving and supportive husband, and your videos are really touching. It's not always easy to talk about our vulnerabilities online. I hope you are getting professional help for that anxiety. It can really work wonders. Sending you love and all the support. ❤
Your video gave me hope Sahini. I am in some ways very afraid of many things in life and been trying to work on it. Looking at your courage and how you have allowed yourself to do things that used to scare you not long ago, gives me hope that i can also push my boundaries. Cannot thank and appreciate you enough for being so real and vulnarable in todays world when all we see is glitter everywhere. Wish you the best love. You are changing lives:)
Dear Sahini, loved your blog today. Thank you for being so real with your fears and insecurities. Hey recognizing that is half the battle won. I wish my younger self did that😊 You are brave to be able to take that leap of faith and go on this trip. Your husband is an amazing support so leverage that to fly. You inspire so many people which is amazing..I wish you lots of love, peace and success.
Women.. you are absolutely gorgeous in every possible way .. from the way you look, you speak, you make your audience feel, your way of describing emotions, your crazy creative food and the way you care for your family, your getting anxious of going out meeting people, your insecurities of getting hurt. I think in some way I feel so much closer to you because when I look at you it feels like I am seeing myself. Your wins feel personal and your insecurities are the most relatable ones. I am a little less better version of you, and thankfully found my Sunny too ❤
To be putting all those raw, chaotic, tangled thoughts and fears out there, talking about such profound but not talked about struggles feels like a breath of fresh air when all social media does is the otherwise. This is so so so beautiful. Please never stop doing what you love and expressing yourself. Please doubt yourself a little less coz, even if you don't, alot of people see how amazing and worthy you are ❤❤
i always love your storytelling so much so that i keep rewatching the long youtube videos of yours. i love how you rearranged the bed before leaving :) i love how this made me feel heard and safe and comforted. i am glad to exist in a time when you are creating content. i keep showing your page to my friends now and then. you are amazing!
I've been going through a rough patch, life isn't treating me as well as I'd like it to, haha. I have been a regular viewer since last year, finding comfort and relatability as a fellow Bengali living in Delhi. This video hit close to home, thank you. Your cinematography and soft demeanour is reminiscent of an old slice-of-live anime. P.S : I sobbed like a baby as I watched your Midnight Cafe shorts. I have no idea why, but what started as moist eyes eventually turned into heaving sobs. Thank you for sharing your art with the rest of us.
Oh. I am so sorry you have been having such a hard time. I don't know what else to say. I can imagine how it might feel. I hope everything turns out well for you. lots of love to you lovely human
@@Feashts Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to reply! Ah well, feeling pain means I'm alive, I'm a lucky cat. I'm sure there are good times ahead. I wish you and all the other viewers a happy, happy life. Upwards and onwards, my friend. ^-^
I want more of this. Not to say that you feel the need to document things and talk about your emotions all the time. It can get exhausting for you. Just that if you feel like making another one of these, don't hesitate to do so because it felt really nice watching this. It gave me perspective on some of my emotions. I think meeting, knowing and listening to other people opens us up to so many viewpoints. We don't have to necessarily agree to them, but at times, it compels you to think in a way you never thought of before. Not only that, you make memories and do things that you never thought of doing. You are beautiful. I loved listening to you, both your voice and your thoughts. Thank you :D
Apki ye long form videos dekh k mann ko shanti aur sukoon milta hai❤ aise hi videos banatey rahiye..aap jab apni mani baat bata rahe to hume bhi lagta h ki hum alag nahi. Thank you aur apke husband bohot sweet h❤
I do not know what was about this particular vlog, but there was this sense of calmness to it. Being an over anxious person myself, I could somewhat relate to what you tried put forth. But once you take that leap of faith it's liberating there after. Thank God and glad that you did this! Yes to many more such exoeriences❤
Hi shahini ❤ It's a request.. please never stop creating videos .. you're just healing me on so many levels.. I see you as an elder sister and you're just validating me in many many ways.... I love you so much.. thankyou..❤
This was wholesome... we all are so afraid of being judged.. but honestly, if we don't bother and enjoy how we are, nothing else matters.. i mean you ordering room service first time ever and feeling proud.. so beautiful
You are so calming to my mind. Your videos are so lovely. You don't know what effect you have on people by just being a normal person... Thanks for this. Hopefully more people would be inspired by you to make their content more engaging and beautiful rather than showcasing themselves ( although that is good at times too ). Anyway, I'm blabbering again. I have actually never commented on anyone's videos... I don't know where to stop. Just want to say, you are amazing.. with your sunny, with your voice, your smile, your recipes that just comforts me so much and your love...
I often have same insecurities.. but it’s about traveling to meet our families. I feel like if my husband accompanied me and my kids, it would all be better somehow. I missed out previously by not traveling home if he didn’t have any leaves or vacation days left, and then with Covid and stuff. 2023 was the first time I went with my kids and frankly, everything was fine. I handled airport fine, kids did fine, everyone asked about him but really enjoyed my and my kids’ company too.
As a person who has had body dysmorphia for the longest time, this video brought me so much comfort. Soon to be 22 and as a matter of fact, I started wearing jeans only 2 years ago because I was bullied a lot. I have always been very shy but this year, I challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone and since then, things have been different. I feel very proud of you and me for fighting hard. Keep glowing
Her authenticity is a blessing to watch ❤ fresh breath of air ❤ infectiously encouraging ❤ any body would have bought pair of shoes but she decided to go with crocks on 🎉🎉🎉 thats doing what your heart contents ❤
Just stumbled upon this. I was and am on heavier side,I was always afraid of rejection because it is instilled in our heads growing up, anything less than perfect is not lovable As an adult you realized, what a lie it was ,all the way. I took my first flight to Kolkata, my first ever flight, my then boyfriend booked for me, I was working in Goa Slowly but surely, we fell in love and built the beautiful relationship we have today, we have married for 12 years now. A beautiful home with our little son, and this video brought back memories. As I turned 40 this July, a little wiser me, says yes often and our little insecurities are what makes us unique. Keep smiling beautiful girl ❤
Dearest Sahini, I was crying while watching you. Can't put into words what exactly was in my mind, but you broke something in me- something I was keeping hidden inside of me. Something i was hiding from myself- my real self. You reminded me that i am not being true to myself for the last few years, and to be myself again, i have to be brave enough to express myself- my real self, to embrace the vulnerabilities and to be me, unapologetically. You are really influencing people- just by being you, by being vulnerable, and being humane. And ofcourse, conveying that beautifully and brilliantly❤ Thank you❤ Keep growing. And know that you are doing a wonderful job
I have been here & not just once. The only way to beat this crippling anxiety is the way through. And I do end up feeling better every time. So, it’s like a gift for future me- an example I set for the ‘future’ myself to look back to for motivation. For body image issues- I’m learning to make peace with myself. Because, I’ve found that the validation that comes from within is the only one that ultimately works. And it’s not just valid for body image issues but pretty much everything.
SHE IS JUST LOVE YAAR. cant tell how much relatable this videos is. Just know that someone who feels exactly like you is super proud of your personal achievements and looks up to you.
This video looks so real and unadulterated....love how you show your vulnerabilities and how so many of us can related with the same emotions which you go through
How can someone be so pure and beautiful....believe me didi, you have a great personality and most beautiful heart. I am only a college student...but I also have these types of insecurities like what people will say or think...but your video makes me believe that you can lead a beautiful life without thinking too much...thanks for the video Di
Sahini, you are such a sweetheart and an overall excellent human being. I understand how fear can be paralysing and make things bigger than they are. I am so glad you took the plunge despite the fear and had a really good time. I'll be travelling for the first time soon and I just turned 30. Thank you for sharing your experience. It def helped me with my fear. Lots of love from Pakistan.
Mid video comment but Sahini dii, you got this!!!! You deserve every bit of recognition for the amount of effort you put in your content and you dont know this but you have helped me get out a super dark phase, something about your point of views in life helped me change my perspective. Its always the first time that seems hard and confused, you got this dii!!!!!
I just wanted to let you know, you feel like a lovely older sister I never had. Thank you for being so open and honest about your struggles, I know how daunting it feels but we are so proud of you Sahini for facing your fears and going on this trip. Silently supporting you and wishing you all the best in everything!! Also, the part where you mentioned if being an ideal body type would help face your fear I feel like that often too but just know we are all imperfectly human and what helps is to know you’re a good person. The world out there is already tough enough but we are even harder on ourselves. I love your content, it feels calm.
Absolutely loved this. I can relate to this so much. My first travel story, the insecurities and all the questions, could almost feel almost every emotion. For me this wasn't a vlog per se. It was a narrative of emotions and it made me smile. Thank you.
This video resonates with me so much. The thing about fear, I felt the same. It put smile on my face and I am so glad you are brave enough to put such honest videos out there despite of such hurdles. I want to see more of your long form videos. 🎉
your videos evoke comfort, alike home everytimeeee and you can't even imagine how much influence you have in my journey thanks for being there:) stay blessed n safe bbg🤍
I can’t tell you how much I felt this video. Every sentence, every word. I am something like you and I feel it’s okay to not be okay. Thank you for this ❤
Another candid video - well done. To reduce anxiety and become more confident do more of these travels by yourself (not with spouse or family) and you will soon see the difference. I have tested it and you will see there are more curious listeners and more respectful people who appreciate you for what you do and who you are. That boost gives a big lift in your life. So to gain confidence do the things you hesitate doing more often and you will see overtime you will prepare for the event much better. From meeting people at events I take in a lot of input to dress better, talk and walk confidently. I now look out for networking events to feel good and make more friends and hear their perspectives. Life is not about family all the time but it is one of the important things that I do feel grateful about. However self care is not being selfish. So nurture your need to meetup friends/collegues to exchange ideas or simply gossip.
This has been one of the most relatable contents I've come across in a while! Coming off age and being open to new things is such a different experience for each of us. Your content is so genuine and unique to who you are. I hope you get to discover more about yourself and life in general, as we all hope to 😊
Thank you for this video! I have an important interview today and I am feeling so anxious. Seeing you work through your nerves has made me feel immensely better.
I really appreciate your honesty and simplicity. So many of us have similar insecurities but don’t find courage to face them. Thank you for sharing your story, it’s so inspiring.
Hi Sahini.. i just love way you carry yourself, initially i thought you would go to some salon service and shopping and hair, shoes and clothes. But you don't want to pretend someone else and just be yourself, huge love and respect, if i meet someday I'll definitely give you a hug ❤
I had been feeling stressed and anxious for many reasons but slowly am learning to not overthink about my perceived judgements people would make of me.I realised that facing my fears proves my assumptions wrong and even if anything,to let go. We need to remind ourselves that things may not always be the way we think and that we aren't perfect.Most of us are facing similar fears for different reasons ... the best we can do is to accept and not be disheartened. This video was very assuring and I'm so proud of you. Sunny and you have a very sweet relationship.It's very refreshing. I believe you will go a long way. Never give up ,all! ;)
This is so much relatable and validating in the sense that i'm not the only one who feels anxious and overthinks about traveling or new experiences. Also a reminder for me that no mater what my anxiety ridden brain tells me the other side of facing those small fears always feels so liberating.
I don’t know why this video made me tear up, maybe it’s because of how refreshing it feels to see people having and talking about feelings like these. Even though we’re all aware of how fake everything on the Internet can be- sometimes the message gets lost in a sea of content. Your video felt like a breath of fresh air. It makes me realise how mundane everyone on this planet is, and how similar our struggles can be. Thank you, Sahini.💌
sahini... i love this video. nearly cried by the end of it, because i have the same insecurities as you and have only recently found that i can do hard things and handle feeling difficult emotions, like fear and shame. i wish you nothing but the best; i think you're beautiful inside and out. thank you for being so vulnerable and real.
Hi! I started watching your shorts by chance and I seem to navigate to them when I feel anxious/ or on the verge of having a panic attack. They make me feel calm so thank you for that. I think you should be immensely proud of yourself for feeling the fear and doing it anyways. Ordering room service might be nothing to a seasoned traveller however for someone who is fighting anxiety or some insecurity it’s a huge step to take- I think you should celebrate the fact that you are pushing yourself..
I want you to know that it’s ok to doubt yourself. Often things we overthink others don’t notice at all. I loved this vlog! It was so raw and vulnerable, and I relate to it on a deep level. I’ve grown to admire you through your beautiful shorts, and the more I come back to this channel my appreciation and admiration for your hardwork grows. I hope you can treat yourself more kindly and acknowledge the love your TH-cam community has for you. I hope my message can be of some consolation! Keep up the great work!

I am glad TH-cam is becoming a place where there is no judgement for body or looks. It thrives to be a platform for connection, love, acceptance and respect. Love you Sahini and kudos to conquering your fears. More power and love to you.
@@priyankaraste yes thankfully youtube is not like instagram
It's because of people like you! Thank you for teaching me to stay positive! 🫂😭
@@priyankaraste I think it also has something to do with how she intentionally curates the community
Jaa iccha korbe khaabe,it's ur life,ur body,u make it, u dnt order anyone to make it for you my mil kept body shaming me,now am 53,it has definitely affected me,so dnt bother,enjoy life,it's a gift frm god not humans
@@Feashts I think you look very beautiful ! N ur body is cute ! Bollywood is making a certain body type the norm, but women are beautiful when they r happy from inside !
No judgement Sahini. Kolkata does it to us. I live in Kolkata,and have never felt confident when I need to travel. We hide behind books, excuses and overthink unnecessarily.i have now realised that No one really cares or remembers as they are too busy in their own heads and their own lives,insecurities, priorities and goals. So I started living freely,not thinking about what others maybe thinking of me. I try to dress well, order a new set of clothes 2 weeks before travel . Small steps. Keep going.
We do it to ourselves. Kolkata has nothing to do with it. We are human and it's okay to feel this way sometimes.
Felt like I watched a feel good short film. Everything crafted measured. Content, camera angle, lighting, background sound all were astounding.U rewrote this platform is not to show one particular emotions, but real life.
oh my gosh. oh my gosh! You don't know how much this means to me. I make sure to write intentionally and well so it conveys something meaningful. Thank you
Yes this had all the ingredients of a short film. Normal struggles of a human being. Touched a nerve. ❤❤❤
Omg that's so true! This did feel like a short film. And I hope she creates sych videos more often
Dear Sahini, I don't write well, but your video made me smile. Seems like I'm not alone. 10 days ahead of my 34th birthday (single), as I was reflecting on the last year, your video felt very relaxing and liberating from the chase, the rush of life.
happy birthday
@@malinikundu2544 Thank you very much ❤️😇
Happy Birthday.
@@dysaniac3807 Thank you
Happy birthday ❤
Story telling, voice over and music selection to the absolute perfection. Thanks for such a beautiful content.
As an almost 40 year old woman, I totaly got back in time to my 20s, travelling alone for the first time, then first international trip, ordering room service first time, taking a train to a new city in a new country all myself... how much I have forgotten how special all those firsts were !! Love this
Such a nice video.... Im 36yrs old n have 2 kids (9yr & 3yr)....Im a post graduate in pharmacy but never got the opportunity to work... Im 36 n have not earned a penny till date... Im completely dependent on my husband... From childhood i always wanted to be financially independent but my husband doesn't want me to work... He doesn't respect my feelings understand my problems... I don't have freedom to go out alone.Putting in one phrase im like a robot n he has my remote. He is good at other things like taking us out on weekends and all but still I feel bad for not letting me live the way I want to... According to him men r superior over women n men need not respect women. I still choosento continue to live with him because I want my kids to get the love from both mother n father. From past 5years I have been doing many online courses to seek a work from home job which he would not mind me doing, but didn't find any till date. Hope one day I can live my life the way I want.
@@deepthipasupuleti9596 Hey, you can do many things online keep on learning from online courses and start posting from any social media platforms and be consistent you will definitely get your ways🙏
@@shalinibisht thank you so much for ur advise... Yes I have completed Internship in digital marketing n completed course in content writing and email marketing as well. Trying to find intern or fresher or entry level jobs. For practical experience I have created a Facebook business page and also planning to write a blog. But I don't get enough time with my kids. Planning to take tuitions for kids from my next building. Trying everything from my side.
you can see on fueler..i saw an opening related to newsletter writers.a profile on fueler would help you leaps and bounds.the community is also welcoming🎉
@@deepthipasupuleti9596online tuitions fr pharmacy students would gt u more money
I can't fathom how women choose to live with a man who don't even see them as just another human being. I appreciate your determination of doing something of your own it's truly empowering and I hope you achieve it as well. Make sure your kids don't grow up with this idea of men being superior to women . I have been in a journey of success and failure .I am aware how words of our closed ones affect our mental health. Doesn't matter what you do if you don't get acknowledged and appreciated it feels truly demotivating.But with time I have accepted that if you want to achieve something do it for yourself and stop looking for validation. Just so you know you can do it.All the best.
She is so pure. I admire her so much. As me myself anxious and middle class Bangali girl from a very small city, with problematic household. I aspire to get out my fears and choosing myself 💖
Firstly, I'm so proud of you because you were brave enough go. Insecurities are a part of us but we can't let them define us. I genuinely think that you're a beautiful person 🤍✨
I loved the last line - "Maybe coming of age happens at midnight, at a hotel room!"
Resonated so much with me!
Fear and insecurities are timeless. I struggle a lot with attending events and hanging out with friends simply because my weight is the first thing they notice, even when I was at my thinnest. I too am a Bengali girl living miles away from home, trying to make a life true to myself. Your content is both inspiring and heartwarming. I hope you stay true to yourself too. Godspeed Sahini
thank you.
Talking on the phone to a stranger when you're not even at home is one of the most TERRIFYING things for me, I'm so proud you did that!
Right? I was very afraid
FYI, a lot of people go through the fear of not belonging but never have the courage to express it. You just made me drop a tear. You are doing great, dear and millions of people love your authenticity and gentleness.... those are good qualities we seldomly see these days. I'm glad you took that trip. the next ones become easier
I am literally moved by this!
I am a person who is also afraid of meeting new people and for that I blame myself that i am not good enough....this made me feel so much better!
@@rishitarani2187 we will get through it :')
I feel for you because i also do these same things. I deny myself opportunities because I don't look the right way or have the right clothes. We have to be kinder to ourselves!
Dearest Sahini, I am wonderfully surprised at how much of myself I see in you because it is so rare that I find people like me. My fears, my insecurities, my particular anxieties have always been mine alone. So, to see this video (or should I say the gentlest-yet-tightest-of-hugs) made me feel quite a lot of things. I saw myself being fearful. For you? For me? Questions for later. I too tend to avoid meeting new people or go new places alone despite knowing that most often I have the best of experiences when I take the leap. The fear takes over and temporarily erases the past happy experiences making those memories fictitious. I know my brain needs proof that this is a totally safe thing that I am doing, and hence it is important that I take the leap. But this only adds to the pressure (from me, which is worse). So, watching this video and seeing you shine your kind light so beautifully makes me so so happy. It felt like I did all of those wonderful things for some reason. I feel like we were best friends in some other lifetime. I wish I could give you a hug, like the one you beautifully made for all of us. Please take my love from these words and give yourself my hug. You are a very beautiful soul, and I wish you nothing but happiness. I love you, Sahini. And, I am so proud of you, my friend from another lifetime.
Hello. Thank you for writing to me. "I know my brain needs proof that this is a totally safe thing that I am doing, and hence it is important that I take the leap. But this only adds to the pressure (from me, which is worse). " : this part, I completely understand you. I sometimes feel frustrated that it keeps repeating every time a new experience is about to happen, but I think practice makes perfect. I am reading all your lovely comments. And there are so many of us. I am happy that you think I have helped you in some way. It makes me so so happy
@@Feashts 🥹🌻❤️
same. this video feels so personal, made me emotional🥺
@@AWarmHug-bw3jm thank you for writing this. It helps me to make sense of my own feelings. People think I m an extrovert, little do they know it is my way for dealing with my fears and anxieties.
@@s.s.m9936 🥹🫂🌻
Sahini, I felt like I was listening to my feelings. You echoed some points that made me reflect deeply. I realize I am loving and enjoying my solitude and becoming a recluse. Post covid, I fear being judged - weight gain, don't like dressing up. I hope you have a joyful time.
Why are you guys so cute and real? Feels good to see authenticity on social media. Keep being you. :)
As someone with social anxiety and a big time overthinker , it gets really hard going out. Plus I am fat too. But things get better overtime, I started correcting thoughts and most importantly I believed myself. It was all a phase and eventually after I did scary things It was okay. So proud of you. All of need hugs and eventually we all learn and grow. Embrace the fears and the process. I promise youre more than worthy of everything gurl! ily
this video makes the Internet a better place❤️ you articulate complex emotions so beautifully! to be content is both being alone in a hotel room, making new friends and travelling alone, as well as the warm embrace of a loved one and their constant support and encouragement; there is no correct path
says the person who conveyed it just as beautifully. Thank you
Dear Sahini, thank you for being vulnerable with us. It was so wonderful seeing you push your boundaries and enjoy, explore life ❤️ Thank you again for taking us along :,))
I have rarely left a comment but man this video hits home. You are an amazing storyteller. As someone born in the 90s, the social media wave just rushed through us and we started mindlessly consuming content in our teens and early 20s. It is now at 32, i am very conscious of the people i follow and the reasons i follow them for and you Sahini, are on top of the list. I am so glad to have found you. Thank you for your content and thank you for these very personal stories.
13:53 so what it was for me .. did I watch a youtube content creator video or the beautifully captured the real life with perfection and a small video of a middle class family life day with a fear and anxious and the best out of the world 🌎, you are the best you're out of this fake world . I don't know am I seeing myself or I'm seeing you as growing with simplicity ❤
I just wanted to say how much I related to you when you shared about your feelings. It really resonated with me, and I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Your content always feels so genuine, and it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone in these feelings. Thank you for being so real-it means a lot.❤
I don't know why you feel insecure, because when I see you all i see is a kind, happy little child who is living life slow and beautiful doing all that makes you happy, taking down time in a world which is moving nowhere so fast... Your inner innocence shines sooo bright 🌞❤ you're perfect the way you are, brave enough to just be you and accepting the simplicity of life... I know being an introvert and empath takes a toll on our mental health in a world of flashy things, but again that's what makes us so special ❤❤❤❤
So much love and power to you, as much as I enjoy your cooking, i think watching your videos always remind me that it's ok to take things one day at a time, everything doesn't have to be flashy.. life it still beautiful when it is calm, comfortable and slow... Thank you for constantly reminding us about it.. glad I made the right choice of going to the event, in the end the light from your soul shines brighter than your appearance... You are beautiful just the way you are ❤❤❤❤ much love to you!
This is what I pay my internet bill for.. Wholesome, inspiring, comforting and motivating all at once. I'm an introvert, and I have always been afraid to meet strangers or make new connections. I am even afraid to complain to the waiter if there's something wrong with my food. This video makes me feel better and definitely boosts my confidence.... Thank you !!!
I don't know why i cried watching this....but it made me feel you were describing my feelings through your videos 😢
It made me cry too.
Dear Sahini, thank you for being so honest and pure and beautiful and putting bits and pieces of yourself here.
I am so happy for you to achieve all the good things in life. Including your husband. God bless 🙏🏻
She has such a calming voice that can give a peaceful sleep. I dont usually watch long vlogs cause they bore me. This one is just amazing.
Your video was extremely relatable. I was always anxious to go out alone and be in a room full of strangers inspite of the most supportive husband and family ever. One day I just challenged myself to do it. Have never looked back after that. I love traveling alone now, I love exploring new cities and meeting new people. I dont care anymore about being judged. And as you summarised so well, everyone needs a hug, everyone is fighting their own insecurities. Love love love you for making this video. Love your courage❤ (shedding happy tears)
seeing you be so candid about this process... brings tears to my eyes because i feel SO SEEN. im so shy and so anxious all the time, and i worry so much and im so afraid all the time.. but this. this feels so comforting. im taking steps in my life outside my comfort zone and it can be soo difficult. but everyday that we do something new, we grow. we grow.
Hi Sahini. I used to think that my fear of facing unknown places and unknown people would go away once I grew up, but it has only increased. I have always hated, feared rather, going out of my comfort zone. I was on the brink of rejecting a good opportunity until I saw your video and after watching it I'm gonna book the flight ticket now. So, thank you and I am sure it is going to be worth it, yes "I should go".
Usually I don't comment anywhere but after watching this video I'm feeling something and I don't know how to express this feeling in words. I'm not saying it's the best video I have ever seen but this video is something I need to hear or probably I want to say to myself. Hugs to you.
So glad I found this. I have the same fears but when I look at you I see that you are so sweet, understanding, intuitive and see nothing wrong but then when I see myself, I only saw my insecurities. I realise that people are judged for everything.. if you are too quiet, if you are loud, or whoever you are so it's alright. Those words have no meaning.
Dear Sahini,
Thank you for putting your thoughts out on TH-cam. I feel less lonely now after watching this. Lately I have been afraid to accept my body. I have zero friends and I spend most of the time inside my house doing chores and my office work. My parents and my expections don't match and the societal pressures often weigh me down and it feels heavy and constant fight. Thank you for giving the courage to keep moving and respecting yourself.
Love you. xoxoxo
Being a housewife I always love your content, each one of us have fear ,those who overcome become winners like you. Just love the way you deliver the content. Hoping to see more.
I really resonated with your video since I’m battling the same insecurities. Thankyou for being real on TH-cam!! Right now we live in a world of unreal and toxic productivity. This needs to change.
Oh my god, I can't believe this video came to my TH-cam feed on the day before I turn 30. I was able to relate to you a 100%. Being a wallflower for most of my life, I have feared trying new things, meeting new people... I really know that growth comes only once you get out of your comfort zone, but never had the guts. I may not have achieved much compared to others of my age, but I am trying. I will be measuring my success based on my own metrics not on anyone else. And that is going to be my birthday wish and goal. Happy Birthday to me🥳🥳 and Thank you @Sahini Banerjee for this sweet video.
I am 6 minutes into the video and I already feel like crying. Such a heartfelt video.
This is such a realistic video. I like your content and am a huge fan, but this just bought me even more closer to being self confident , shunning your fears, and pursuing your goals. Thanks Sahini.
4 months later, 11:30 PM on a random Friday this video reached me in a time when i really needed it. It felt like a warm hug. It felt like a reflection of myself. I saw myself in you and seeing you do the small things that I want to be able to do and achieve eventually made me so proud of you and excited for myself too. Thank you for this video, it deeply touched my heart. Much love to you Sahini 💕💕
You always remind me my best friend. But you are like me too. I know how you feel - I feel the same way all the time. Anxiety is part of my character. But you are so much braver than I could ever be. I'm happy when I see your vlogs. You are... Normal. Not perfect, just normal, with all your fears, and happy things. And this is truly beautiful. I hope social media never changes you because persons like me need to know that they aren't alone. I'm sending you lot of hugs 💙💙💙
This is beautiful ❤
Hi Sahini,
Thanks for creating this vlog. It’s so comforting. I moved to a new country from India few years back and it has been a journey for me. Never faced anxiety back home. However after moving here I have faced anxiety, insecurity and didn’t have anyone to talk to. I take everyday as a challenge. I could relate and through your video I found out I’m not alone.
Oh my god, this is the most wholesome thing I’ve ever watched. I just want to hug you 🥰
Some months down the line I know I'll have to be traveling alone since my better half is not from the same state and this video really has given me that boost of confidence as I'm such an introvert and come up with reasons to not do things.... n then I'm also conscious of being judged idk why but its some hidden fear....Thank You for this video, pure, raw and real❤
Hi Sahini! Watching this , I literally felt like I was seeing myself. A big big hug to you, thank you for making me realise that I am not alone in my insecurities. ❤
So relatable; why do we allow others to judge/misjudge us? You are an inspiration, Sahini. So very proud of what you do! Way to go, girl- this is your first baby step in a world that is not always kind but you will find the resilience to overcome your fears; you have come so far and still have a long way to go & you will get there.....love & courage coming your way!
This is so relatable! I love how you capture the simplicity in everything and how this whole montage is filled with simple things; making it so special! Really hit home for me in terms of the travel anxiousness and question capabilities and meeting new people.
So proud of you Sahani!! You make me feel so safe. I had tears in my eyes by the time this video ended. Pls don’t stop making videos.
You give strength to lot of us.
This is cinematic. Beautiful. You are a true gem dear.
This feels like a long warm hug. Truely.
Kudos to you on conquering your fears. Anxiety can be a bitch and I also suffer from it. However, you have a loving and supportive husband, and your videos are really touching. It's not always easy to talk about our vulnerabilities online. I hope you are getting professional help for that anxiety. It can really work wonders. Sending you love and all the support. ❤
Your video gave me hope Sahini. I am in some ways very afraid of many things in life and been trying to work on it. Looking at your courage and how you have allowed yourself to do things that used to scare you not long ago, gives me hope that i can also push my boundaries. Cannot thank and appreciate you enough for being so real and vulnarable in todays world when all we see is glitter everywhere. Wish you the best love. You are changing lives:)
‘no one noticed by crocs’ I LOVED THIS VIDEO
Your words feels comforting! I'm only 19 and I feel insecure sometimes, it feels okay while watching your videos.
And you are too cute! 🌿
Dear Sahini, loved your blog today. Thank you for being so real with your fears and insecurities. Hey recognizing that is half the battle won. I wish my younger self did that😊 You are brave to be able to take that leap of faith and go on this trip. Your husband is an amazing support so leverage that to fly. You inspire so many people which is amazing..I wish you lots of love, peace and success.
Women.. you are absolutely gorgeous in every possible way .. from the way you look, you speak, you make your audience feel, your way of describing emotions, your crazy creative food and the way you care for your family, your getting anxious of going out meeting people, your insecurities of getting hurt. I think in some way I feel so much closer to you because when I look at you it feels like I am seeing myself. Your wins feel personal and your insecurities are the most relatable ones. I am a little less better version of you, and thankfully found my Sunny too ❤
To be putting all those raw, chaotic, tangled thoughts and fears out there, talking about such profound but not talked about struggles feels like a breath of fresh air when all social media does is the otherwise. This is so so so beautiful. Please never stop doing what you love and expressing yourself. Please doubt yourself a little less coz, even if you don't, alot of people see how amazing and worthy you are ❤❤
You are good...just don't look yourself from others eyes or mind...you are doing good you may not know but you are also inspiration for so many people
i always love your storytelling so much so that i keep rewatching the long youtube videos of yours. i love how you rearranged the bed before leaving :) i love how this made me feel heard and safe and comforted. i am glad to exist in a time when you are creating content. i keep showing your page to my friends now and then. you are amazing!
Excellent content Sahini…your maturity in depicting the rawness of emotions is beyond praises…keep writing, keep creating and keep touching !
I've been going through a rough patch, life isn't treating me as well as I'd like it to, haha. I have been a regular viewer since last year, finding comfort and relatability as a fellow Bengali living in Delhi. This video hit close to home, thank you. Your cinematography and soft demeanour is reminiscent of an old slice-of-live anime.
P.S : I sobbed like a baby as I watched your Midnight Cafe shorts. I have no idea why, but what started as moist eyes eventually turned into heaving sobs. Thank you for sharing your art with the rest of us.
Oh. I am so sorry you have been having such a hard time. I don't know what else to say. I can imagine how it might feel. I hope everything turns out well for you. lots of love to you lovely human
@@Feashts Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to reply! Ah well, feeling pain means I'm alive, I'm a lucky cat. I'm sure there are good times ahead. I wish you and all the other viewers a happy, happy life. Upwards and onwards, my friend. ^-^
I want more of this. Not to say that you feel the need to document things and talk about your emotions all the time. It can get exhausting for you. Just that if you feel like making another one of these, don't hesitate to do so because it felt really nice watching this. It gave me perspective on some of my emotions. I think meeting, knowing and listening to other people opens us up to so many viewpoints. We don't have to necessarily agree to them, but at times, it compels you to think in a way you never thought of before. Not only that, you make memories and do things that you never thought of doing. You are beautiful. I loved listening to you, both your voice and your thoughts. Thank you :D
Apki ye long form videos dekh k mann ko shanti aur sukoon milta hai❤ aise hi videos banatey rahiye..aap jab apni mani baat bata rahe to hume bhi lagta h ki hum alag nahi. Thank you aur apke husband bohot sweet h❤
I do not know what was about this particular vlog, but there was this sense of calmness to it. Being an over anxious person myself, I could somewhat relate to what you tried put forth. But once you take that leap of faith it's liberating there after. Thank God and glad that you did this! Yes to many more such exoeriences❤
Thank you for being you so that i can find courage to be me.( Coming of age @28. ) 🖐🏾
Hi shahini ❤
It's a request.. please never stop creating videos ..
you're just healing me on so many levels..
I see you as an elder sister and you're just validating me in many many ways....
I love you so much.. thankyou..❤
This was so pure. Please never stop being you.
This was wholesome... we all are so afraid of being judged.. but honestly, if we don't bother and enjoy how we are, nothing else matters.. i mean you ordering room service first time ever and feeling proud.. so beautiful
Something in me healed after watching this. Thank you, Sahini ♥️
You are so calming to my mind. Your videos are so lovely. You don't know what effect you have on people by just being a normal person... Thanks for this. Hopefully more people would be inspired by you to make their content more engaging and beautiful rather than showcasing themselves ( although that is good at times too ).
Anyway, I'm blabbering again. I have actually never commented on anyone's videos... I don't know where to stop. Just want to say, you are amazing.. with your sunny, with your voice, your smile, your recipes that just comforts me so much and your love...
I often have same insecurities.. but it’s about traveling to meet our families. I feel like if my husband accompanied me and my kids, it would all be better somehow. I missed out previously by not traveling home if he didn’t have any leaves or vacation days left, and then with Covid and stuff. 2023 was the first time I went with my kids and frankly, everything was fine. I handled airport fine, kids did fine, everyone asked about him but really enjoyed my and my kids’ company too.
As a person who has had body dysmorphia for the longest time, this video brought me so much comfort. Soon to be 22 and as a matter of fact, I started wearing jeans only 2 years ago because I was bullied a lot. I have always been very shy but this year, I challenged myself to get out of my comfort zone and since then, things have been different. I feel very proud of you and me for fighting hard. Keep glowing
Her authenticity is a blessing to watch ❤ fresh breath of air ❤ infectiously encouraging ❤ any body would have bought pair of shoes but she decided to go with crocks on 🎉🎉🎉 thats doing what your heart contents ❤
Just stumbled upon this. I was and am on heavier side,I was always afraid of rejection because it is instilled in our heads growing up, anything less than perfect is not lovable
As an adult you realized, what a lie it was ,all the way.
I took my first flight to Kolkata, my first ever flight, my then boyfriend booked for me, I was working in Goa
Slowly but surely, we fell in love and built the beautiful relationship we have today, we have married for 12 years now. A beautiful home with our little son, and this video brought back memories.
As I turned 40 this July, a little wiser me, says yes often and our little insecurities are what makes us unique. Keep smiling beautiful girl ❤
Dearest Sahini,
I was crying while watching you. Can't put into words what exactly was in my mind, but you broke something in me- something I was keeping hidden inside of me. Something i was hiding from myself- my real self.
You reminded me that i am not being true to myself for the last few years, and to be myself again, i have to be brave enough to express myself- my real self, to embrace the vulnerabilities and to be me, unapologetically.
You are really influencing people- just by being you, by being vulnerable, and being humane. And ofcourse, conveying that beautifully and brilliantly❤
Thank you❤
Keep growing. And know that you are doing a wonderful job
Same! 🥹💯🙌🏼🫶🏼💞
I have been here & not just once. The only way to beat this crippling anxiety is the way through. And I do end up feeling better every time. So, it’s like a gift for future me- an example I set for the ‘future’ myself to look back to for motivation.
For body image issues- I’m learning to make peace with myself. Because, I’ve found that the validation that comes from within is the only one that ultimately works. And it’s not just valid for body image issues but pretty much everything.
SHE IS JUST LOVE YAAR. cant tell how much relatable this videos is. Just know that someone who feels exactly like you is super proud of your personal achievements and looks up to you.
This video looks so real and unadulterated....love how you show your vulnerabilities and how so many of us can related with the same emotions which you go through
How can someone be so pure and beautiful....believe me didi, you have a great personality and most beautiful heart. I am only a college student...but I also have these types of insecurities like what people will say or think...but your video makes me believe that you can lead a beautiful life without thinking too much...thanks for the video Di
Sahini, you are such a sweetheart and an overall excellent human being. I understand how fear can be paralysing and make things bigger than they are. I am so glad you took the plunge despite the fear and had a really good time. I'll be travelling for the first time soon and I just turned 30. Thank you for sharing your experience. It def helped me with my fear. Lots of love from Pakistan.
Mid video comment but Sahini dii, you got this!!!! You deserve every bit of recognition for the amount of effort you put in your content and you dont know this but you have helped me get out a super dark phase, something about your point of views in life helped me change my perspective. Its always the first time that seems hard and confused, you got this dii!!!!!
ufff, I'm in tears, I can resonate with your every single line. Thank you so much for this video.
Might be superficial but it is relatable. So relatable
I just wanted to let you know, you feel like a lovely older sister I never had. Thank you for being so open and honest about your struggles, I know how daunting it feels but we are so proud of you Sahini for facing your fears and going on this trip. Silently supporting you and wishing you all the best in everything!!
Also, the part where you mentioned if being an ideal body type would help face your fear I feel like that often too but just know we are all imperfectly human and what helps is to know you’re a good person. The world out there is already tough enough but we are even harder on ourselves.
I love your content, it feels calm.
You're absolutely GORGEOUS! Loved the softness and steadiness this video brought. You're doing amazing
Absolutely loved this. I can relate to this so much. My first travel story, the insecurities and all the questions, could almost feel almost every emotion. For me this wasn't a vlog per se. It was a narrative of emotions and it made me smile. Thank you.
This video resonates with me so much. The thing about fear, I felt the same.
It put smile on my face and I am so glad you are brave enough to put such honest videos out there despite of such hurdles.
I want to see more of your long form videos. 🎉
your videos evoke comfort, alike home everytimeeee and you can't even imagine how much influence you have in my journey
thanks for being there:)
stay blessed n safe bbg🤍
I can’t tell you how much I felt this video. Every sentence, every word. I am something like you and I feel it’s okay to not be okay.
Thank you for this ❤
tight hugs to you lovely human
Another candid video - well done. To reduce anxiety and become more confident do more of these travels by yourself (not with spouse or family) and you will soon see the difference. I have tested it and you will see there are more curious listeners and more respectful people who appreciate you for what you do and who you are. That boost gives a big lift in your life. So to gain confidence do the things you hesitate doing more often and you will see overtime you will prepare for the event much better. From meeting people at events I take in a lot of input to dress better, talk and walk confidently. I now look out for networking events to feel good and make more friends and hear their perspectives. Life is not about family all the time but it is one of the important things that I do feel grateful about. However self care is not being selfish. So nurture your need to meetup friends/collegues to exchange ideas or simply gossip.
This has been one of the most relatable contents I've come across in a while! Coming off age and being open to new things is such a different experience for each of us. Your content is so genuine and unique to who you are. I hope you get to discover more about yourself and life in general, as we all hope to 😊
Thank you for this video! I have an important interview today and I am feeling so anxious. Seeing you work through your nerves has made me feel immensely better.
I really appreciate your honesty and simplicity. So many of us have similar insecurities but don’t find courage to face them. Thank you for sharing your story, it’s so inspiring.
Hi Sahini.. i just love way you carry yourself, initially i thought you would go to some salon service and shopping and hair, shoes and clothes. But you don't want to pretend someone else and just be yourself, huge love and respect, if i meet someday I'll definitely give you a hug ❤
I had been feeling stressed and anxious for many reasons but slowly am learning to not overthink about my perceived judgements people would make of me.I realised that facing my fears proves my assumptions wrong and even if anything,to let go.
We need to remind ourselves that things may not always be the way we think and that we aren't perfect.Most of us are facing similar fears for different reasons ... the best we can do is to accept and not be disheartened.
This video was very assuring and I'm so proud of you.
Sunny and you have a very sweet relationship.It's very refreshing.
I believe you will go a long way.
Never give up ,all! ;)
Thank you
This is so much relatable and validating in the sense that i'm not the only one who feels anxious and overthinks about traveling or new experiences. Also a reminder for me that no mater what my anxiety ridden brain tells me the other side of facing those small fears always feels so liberating.
I don’t know why this video made me tear up, maybe it’s because of how refreshing it feels to see people having and talking about feelings like these. Even though we’re all aware of how fake everything on the Internet can be- sometimes the message gets lost in a sea of content.
Your video felt like a breath of fresh air. It makes me realise how mundane everyone on this planet is, and how similar our struggles can be.
Thank you, Sahini.💌
sahini... i love this video. nearly cried by the end of it, because i have the same insecurities as you and have only recently found that i can do hard things and handle feeling difficult emotions, like fear and shame. i wish you nothing but the best; i think you're beautiful inside and out. thank you for being so vulnerable and real.
Hi! I started watching your shorts by chance and I seem to navigate to them when I feel anxious/ or on the verge of having a panic attack. They make me feel calm so thank you for that. I think you should be immensely proud of yourself for feeling the fear and doing it anyways. Ordering room service might be nothing to a seasoned traveller however for someone who is fighting anxiety or some insecurity it’s a huge step to take- I think you should celebrate the fact that you are pushing yourself..
I want you to know that it’s ok to doubt yourself. Often things we overthink others don’t notice at all. I loved this vlog! It was so raw and vulnerable, and I relate to it on a deep level. I’ve grown to admire you through your beautiful shorts, and the more I come back to this channel my appreciation and admiration for your hardwork grows. I hope you can treat yourself more kindly and acknowledge the love your TH-cam community has for you. I hope my message can be of some consolation! Keep up the great work!
