Tarek. I’m so proud of you. I feel like I’m watching a close friend find their purpose in life-creating positive impact for others while doing it for yourself. All love.
I have a literally no self-confidence like we in the negatives like it math class or something but my company is gone I’m just watching us and I ain’t even a minute in
You're not alone in that, I am very much with you on the low self-confidence. Sending you love ❤️

I'm so glad I found your channel. It feels good to see a young black man in his 20s using his platform for positivity 🙌🏾🙏🏾👏🏾
yes Love
Before I started watching(following) your TH-cam channel I struggled with self love,confidence and a sense of self worth😔.....But every since I started watching your TH-cam channel I love myself even more and when I walk into a building /place I feel confident ,I feel powerful and beautiful in my own skin/body🤗....Tarek Ali just keep doing you and been a source of love ,light and inspiration❤
my heart!!! im so so so happy!! thankyou for sharing!
@@TarekAli have you heard of youtubers like nostalgia critic, angry video game nerd, cinema snob, film brain, obscurus lupa, linkara, phelous, nostalgia chick, todd in the shadows, and rap critic
WHY HAVEN’T I FOUND THIS CHANNEL EARLIER?!!
you’ve done more for me in these 10 minutes than my therapist did in 10 months.. thank you for this
Dear, Tarek for the past 2 months you've been on my mind! I dont have any other Social Media besides TH-cam, so i dont know if posted elsewhere if that you're taking a break. it's been some time since you've uploaded any content and i hope you're doing well. I miss you and you wisdom💜
THE KING IS SERVING! AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT! 💕🙌🏿🙌🏿
He’s literally been through everything I’ve been through. We have the same body type. This is so comforting somehow. Thank you for sharing 🥺❤️
3:40 your smile on the picture is so cute😭🥺
NORMALIZE TALKING TO OURSELVES ALONE
YES, MA'AM!!
❤
Write a book 📚 Tarek like for real!
We love Tarek💖 I really needed this🙌🏾
It amaze me how i can see his body and dont see nothing wrong like actually finding it atractive but for him is an insecurity, i wish no one could go trough this
Aww look at baby tarekk 🥺 but complimenting myself out loud has honestly boosted my self confidence!!
I'm someone that has always found all body types beautiful, I don't see how any one type is "perfect" and one is "imperfect".
A HEALTHY body is a beautiful body 🗣📢
tarek your videos make my life better, thanks for existing and being yourself
me seeing this video the day after having a self-hate emotional breakdown, knowing that it's exactly what i needed: 👁👄👁
lol no but seriously thank you for showing up right on time ❤ i cant wait to print this and fill it out!
As a gay black man myself, this PDF really is helpful. Grazias, Tarek ❤.
Tarek, this honestly could not come at a better time. I've been recommitting to my health and I am honestly so excited to go on this journey.
wayment- not you made us a self help journal 🥺 thanks, Tarek! 💓
Just wanted to say thank you for helping me start my self healing process ☮️❤️🙏🏼
This video is a word!!! It goes back to the text “write the vision and make it plain.” Habakkuk 2:2. I’m always inspired by your videos!! Much love!
You’re so beautiful inside and out 🥺 heavy on the OUT 😍😍😍😍
Thumbnail got me drooling 🤤
You are sexy.
You’re such an emotionally and mentally inclined intellectual and I’m so happy that you are showing and no longer shaming yourself over this beauty that society is too stupid to appreciate.
High-end art🙌🏽❤️😁✨
Tarek, I love you. Thank you for this. I just relapsed from my ED after a year in recovery, I needed this.
sending you so much LOVE and healing. im so proud of you for being present during this series! i know its hard and can be triggering
Yaaassss for the Janet Jackson 1993 Rolling Stone Magazine pose in the thumbnail.
First of all I love you and everything you stand for. Secondly, thank you for creating this. I think this could help a lot of people.💕
I know this video was filmed at least 6 mos ago but when I saw it, I was absolutely elated to see you back. I too have dealt with some of the same things you have survived. I appreciate your candidness. I also am wanting to be a TH-camr/Influencer but have so many fears about the opinions of people. The computer courage is real in these TH-cam streets. Thank you for returning to your work and you sound so much better now that you have taken that time. Continue to grow, evolve and change for the better.
I appreciate you so much. :'^b Thank you for making this free and accessible for everybody.
you know Tarek, i think your channel has helped me alot and this video is going to help me too and im super grateful for you and all the positivity you spread!!
love how much you’ve been uploading lately 🥺 every video is a hit !!
Tarek you were born handsome in my eyes, from your smile to your personality, even when you were a little heavy. This video will surely help a lot of people going through the struggle you have been through with your body issue. Hon, I don't know you personally, but I have been watching your videos for a long time and I can say not only are you a handsome young man, you have a beautiful spirit. Stay blessed and knowing that you are beautifully made ❤
It's amazing that you created a way for us to mentally, emotionally, and physically acknowledge those things-work on them and appreciate/find beauty in so called flaws.
I've always had weight issues. From a child till 16 i was 5'10 230 lbs
I then worked on my body. I got down to 175. It was amazing but that's when the real issues came always fighting to be smaller. I eventually got down to 149 and my weight bounced back horribly with the help of a failed relationship i find myself 270 and my insecurities grew worst i felt ugly alone and crappy.
I remember as time went on i looked in the mirror and realized i had not looked in it in a long time. I had not seen myself i got in the scale i was 307. I broke down and thought all those times i thought i was ugl, fat, and disgusting.....i realized i wasn't as bad as i am at this second, which means it can always get worst. So take those nasty descriptions away and appreciate me for where i am now..
Eventually my weight has fallen off.
I am currently at 236 I'm so proud of being able to get here. 5 years ago i would be ashamed to go outside at this weight.... I look in the mirror proud of just living me and when i stopped beefing with the man in the mirror he help me understand him more and worked with me vs against me
Plus it helps These days Lol 😂all the boys tryna get this thick.
ofc we're going to check out you PDF kit! it loooks soo nice and asthetically pleasing
i clicked so fast bc i know this video is going to be for me hehe
I def need this! I have a plethora of insecurities that I need to work on!
just letting you know, you’re my favorite youtuber!! your videos make my day 🥺
Tarek can you make a video on how to deal with haters/ how to get good grades and stay motivated? Love you and your content x
im literally gonna print this out tomorrow i cant wait to use it ❤️ thank you for making this tarek!
Greetings Tarek it was recommended I see your video because a childhood friend said you reminded her of me with your inspirational videos, I haven't watched yet but I will, just wanted to say hi. Many Blessings to you and all that you love, I'd like to say this We as Americanized African people have a tendency to want to involve ourselves with titles something other that's created, Whatever one chooses to be or do define yourself,I see you already know this, I think black men struggle ( not all ) because some feel the need to belong we'll place ourselves anywhere. Many Blessings to you on your journey to Joy
This video is so important. You’re confidence is admiring :)
Thanks for sharing this I'm sure it wasn't easy to reveal hidden internal pains. Especially body image issues, xox.
Tarek, I love you! This is perfect. ❤️
Downloaded. THANK YOU FOR THIS
ive been a subscriber and supporter of yours from way back. But to be honest, i havent been watching your videos for the past year or two and fortunately, this video popped up on my home page and im so glad it has because ive been going through it chile with depression and anxiety due to my weight gain from covid. so this video (and your most recent ones about you dating yourself and loving yourself) and your pretty PDF are gems right now and i appreciate you for that x
after watching this i was like "i wonder if he has virgo in his big 3" then i clicked on the link to get the toolkit and saw you're a virgo rising! im a virgo moon and this is a really dope way to add structure to the work and a beautiful way to track progress. thank you

It's the consistency of uploading for me!! 🥺🥺🔥🔥🔥❤️😍
I think the worst this you can hate is your mind. I’m at constant war with it. I’m okay with my body but it’s my mindset that takes it out of me. My obsessive tendency and reliving the past. It does not help that I have bipolar. It makes me feel helpless
Hi Tarek I hope you're doing good!
This is amazing!
Imma download the PDF kit , you always make the right videos at the right time as I have been struggling with self lacdeptance and love etc so thank you!
