Yeah why do we feel this way? Like even if Im by myself and I don’t execute something the way I envisioned it the first time I get so down on myself. It’s so weird.
This exact FEAR is what kept me from starting my TH-cam channel for 10 YEARS! I thought, “my life isn’t interesting enough, nobody wants to hear what I have to say😓.” But you know what, I took that leap of faith this year in April and even though I don’t get all the support I would like from family or friends, this community has been so welcoming and positive so far. And it feels good to know that I am encouraging other moms and making a difference in their lives by sharing my motherhood journey and tips as a doula. I’m not afraid to be seen trying anymore ❤️. Thank you for this video, it definitely encouraged me to keep going 😌!
I was afraid. I would rehearse things in my head over and over and I would hate doing something if I wasn't immediately good at it. My mom told me once I was the kind of child who was quiet for weeks and then would suddenly know a bunch of new sentence structures.
I've been telling myself "I want to try too many things to be afraid at being bad at them". Life is too limited if you only want to do things you're good at. Thank you for this.
My mantra this year was “Don’t be afraid to be bad at something new” and it’s amazing what you discover about yourself when you literally just allow yourself to be human/vulnerable.
Amazing matra! I've found myself punishing myself whenever I can't just do something right away. Which is an absurt standart to hold yourself to anyways, so this ''Don't be afraid to be bad at something new'' in combination with ''Don't be afraid to be seen trying'' are gonna be my new mantras.
@@ladiepink Yeah, I try new things allllll the time. If you truly put yourself out there and give it a real good try. At the year mark, you will start to see people responding and acknowledge your effort.
Interesting. That makes sense. People usually don’t want to emotionally or financially invest into something that they will get burnt on. So giving them that sustained period of effort must build trust and probably some, ‘Oh shit, I want to get on this train to so I don’t get left behind!’ FOMO feelings
I just showed my friends some of the poetry I’ve been too embarrassed to share! It was horrifying, but it felt good to show something I’ve worked hard on!
Watching this for a late-night mid-Masters thesis pick-me-up. Self, you're trying your hardest to beat your bad brain blues back, manage untreated ADHD, and graduate with your M.S.. You have come far and you should be proud! No one is perfect, and no one (including yourself) should expect you to be. You're doing your best right now. Keep moving forward!
Whew, I needed to hear this!! I'm lowkey applying to grad schools abroad but don't want to tell anyone in case I don't get in. But uhhhh I have to tell them so I can get a letter of rec.
As a mother of an adult son who suffers from severe anxiety, who worries so much about looking foolish or be seen as a failure, I really appreciate this WORD! So true!
Ive had too completely overhaul the way I approach exercise. Growing up you could never be seen trying. If you weren't good immediately there was just no point continuing. And as an awkward uncoordinated kid I just shunned sports, fitness and exercise because of other people. I basically took on this identity that I hated exercise. Now I try really hard to work out because its medicine for my depression and try to remember its not about pushing myself to oblivion every time I get on the mat. I live my the notion of consistent mediocrity now, just a consistent 60% effort for my brain. I began posting my workouts on my channel, so I'd have a visual to SEE with my own eyes, that I'm getting stronger, and better at yoga/pilates and exercise isnt just about being the best.
So “don’t be afraid to be seen trying”, if that’s the motto then I won’t be afraid to be seen struggling because this college thing is getting tough. But I know that what I’m feeling now is only temporary. Self anxiety is a butt, but I hope that myself and others can become more aware of who we are and what we want. Thanks Evelyn From The Internets, your content is always well needed!
I almost wanted to cry because I've been going through intense creative hesitation for a while with great ideas that I was just so afraid would flop and I really needed this. Thank you so much.
-sees Evelyn- -sees the title- -immediate click- Something nice about myself: It took a moment, this blinking cursor. But I can do what it is, whatever I put my mind to.
I would love to subscribe to some poetry, whenever it may be, whatever it may be, for however many people it may be! Edit: as long as I am ok as an audience, and I totally understand if I am not for whatever reason
“Prioritize yourself and your community over the people who may be watching from the sidelines of your life” WOW. As someone who recently turned 26 and juust started trying to make my art a real something while seeing others who have done it for less time and are just soaring... this meant so much. Because I can feel like welp, I guess I should give up now. Little things like this give me another little push to continue. You are now MY fairy godmother ( does that make Ira Glass my fairy great godfather? )
something nice to myself: i love how passionate and resilient i am. i admire how brave and unrelenting i am in living out my dreams. i am proud of me :)
congrats on me getting better at basketball, said from my friend who is playing college D3 basketball, and for him saying i have a chance at making D3. although no one will probably see this comment, always be proud of yourself. dont be down or sad always look up. God cares about all of us. love you all. all of us are wanted on this earth
I am about to graduate from grad school with a 4.0 with a 3 year old, a husband in fellowship, and in the midst of a pandemic. I'm going to celebrate out loud because I worked hard and earned the right to be celebrated!
Whew child... My head was nodding through this whole video like it was a 90's era hip-hop jam. Something nice... "Girl, you try every day and you've come a long way. I'm proud of you."
Something nice to myself: I'm doing better, and slowly relearning how to take care of myself. The amount of time it's taking me is driving me crazy... but it's still progress.
my personal version of this phrase is: “Take it easy, but take it” Thank you for this lil pep talk you’re an inspiration! Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 💙
Building a life thats inching closer to the one you want to live! Whoaa. As someone who definitely feels a pressure to be "put together" and "perfect" all the time, this was GREAT
Humility is beautiful, Humility with Faith by Works is inspiring, Humility with Faith by Works in Love is divine. Thank you for this second wind, this breathe of fresh air. First time hearing/seeing the words “Don’t be afraid to be seen trying” but to know that process has started and now I am encouraged I am blessed by this. 🦒 God Bless You!
Finally got the courage to tell my mom I’m not happy with my career and I intend on making the change to be happy. I come from two hard working Haitian immigrants and I’m first generation here so this was hard for my mom to understand. Trying to leave a stable job because of my happiness!?!?-she is still struggling with it. But I’m doing it going to take the leap
By the grace of God, I've had the strength to finish my Masters. I'm not in the career I dream about, but I've started to take the first steps to get there. One day I'll be a Counselling Psychologist 🙌🏿
Some years back I wouldn't have known I'd still be here to this day. I'm grateful for sticking around, choosing to keep living through the good and bad, making the most out of those buckets of love, beacons of purpose, sparks of joy, dashes of radiance along the way. Stumbling but trying and happy to be.
I went from a D average to straight A's and EVERYONE watched me struggle haha. Most were supportive but some were butts. I always knew I was smart, I was just too scared to try. This video was everything!! Thanks for keeping it real! xoxo
No one will see this : BUT I want to say thank you. I honestly was struggling, here’s why.... I gained 100lbs . I today I have lost some water weight which in my book is still lbs I need to see off the scale . I’ve been on my diet for 1 week and have lost 11lbs. I’m huge 240 lbs and I’m very small in height but I’m trying. My diet coach today asked me to be part of a 1 week success picture to put on Facebook, I said yes but later I freaked out. I don’t have social media. I’m afraid of my stomach being in peoples faces. I don’t want people to see me fall and this is helping me .
say something nice about yourself in the comments! DO IT
i am powerful~!! (growing channel xo)
I'm a fantastic mediator. I have an open heart.
I'm patient and kind :)
I MAKE BOMBASS COOKIES
I dork out about some of the most seemingly mundane things, have these little bouts of joy. And I like that.

Sis screaming CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!You did that!
Whaaat!? That's HUGE baby girl!😃
Congrats it’s nice to hear someone winning 😊
I have been paralyzed by the thought of being seen as a novice at anything. Not in 2021. We failing EVERYWHERR until I figure it out.
Yeah why do we feel this way? Like even if Im by myself and I don’t execute something the way I envisioned it the first time I get so down on myself. It’s so weird.
Can I watch? Jk. But I genuinely love this comment. I need to get more comfortable being seen failing.
Love this 💯

I felt that in my soul tbh. This video has come at the right time.
Ma’am get out of my head I was just thinking the same thing!
"We're not jumping together fam, because I feel like you're showing off" lol
Kids are the best example of this, they're not afraid to fail in front of people
THE innocence of babes
I was afraid. I would rehearse things in my head over and over and I would hate doing something if I wasn't immediately good at it. My mom told me once I was the kind of child who was quiet for weeks and then would suddenly know a bunch of new sentence structures.

I’ve learned that it takes a year of people seeing you trying before they start to support you.
Wow that’s good !!! Like a good observation
ay yay yay 😪
@@ladiepink Yeah, I try new things allllll the time. If you truly put yourself out there and give it a real good try. At the year mark, you will start to see people responding and acknowledge your effort.

How did you know i needed this Evelyn? How. Did. You. Know?!!?
She's that voice inside our heads.
I think we all need this right now. 😅
Right!!!
Whew, I needed to hear this!! I'm lowkey applying to grad schools abroad but don't want to tell anyone in case I don't get in. But uhhhh I have to tell them so I can get a letter of rec.

My self compliment - I am resilient. Even if I don’t feel like it.
Ive had too completely overhaul the way I approach exercise. Growing up you could never be seen trying. If you weren't good immediately there was just no point continuing.

the people who are hating on you for trying are projecting their own insecurities on you
nothing but the truth! you trying is making them feel guilty for not trying. so they try to make you stop.
this makes so much sense
This statement gets truer every day for me
I’m here from berleezy channel. He wasn’t lying very inspirational and pure positive I’m subscribing
Not being afraid to be seen trying took me from 1 sale on Etsy last year to 58 this year! 🙌
congratulations! so excited for your growth and your continued growth! keep goinggggg
Where are you now in progress with your etsy business?
So “don’t be afraid to be seen trying”, if that’s the motto then I won’t be afraid to be seen struggling because this college thing is getting tough. But I know that what I’m feeling now is only temporary. Self anxiety is a butt, but I hope that myself and others can become more aware of who we are and what we want. Thanks Evelyn From The Internets, your content is always well needed!
this hit different.. might’ve just changed everything for me
I appreciate my intent and effort towards becoming my most authentic self, and having compassion for myself when I think I come short
I almost wanted to cry because I've been going through intense creative hesitation for a while with great ideas that I was just so afraid would flop and I really needed this. Thank you so much.
You can do it!! 😃
😭😭😭I'm experiencing the same feeling.
Thank you everyone. I don't even know y'all but I'm big bb touched 🥺💜🙏🏾
and tbh let it flop until you fly
Just received my well-earned certificate in Personal Styling this morning and I REALLY needed this pep talk
I am resilient and will continue to grow in every area of my life no matter the obstacles.

You have a great sense of humor 🤣How about that 😁
I went from not being able to run one mile to running 26.2 miles. I wasn’t afraid to be seen trying and someone stopped and helped me. I’m fearless!
Great! Your name should be "one less obstacle"...
I needed this, was feeling like giving up on my brand. Something nice: I am good at creating something from nothing.

This is exactly why I started to repeat my daily affirmations:
I am smart
I am gentle with myself
I am deserving of patience
1:08 I have been thinking about this idea for years and this is the first time I heard somebody else bring it up. 🌟
I feel like this should be a whole class in school, starting elementary/primary, to build this mindset!
Yes!!!! Totally agree.
My body is changing and while that is sometimes unsettling, my spirit is essentially the same.
I am resilient.
I am loved.
My best will look different everyday.
