I'm a Mom. 1) I try not to force Masking, as it's (masking) painful and draining. Life demands too much already... 2) I really REALLY wish this was all available and around when I was a teen! I spent the first 80% of my life masking AND feeling like a freak failure etc, because I only knew what was presented as "expected and true". Most of my family was toxic af to boot... 3) I'm grateful for these vids and resources here now. Supports my kiddos, and helps me remember and learn EVERYONE HERE DESERVES understanding and support!! Ideally your families would be the foundation, but..... Take care!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I know for a fact that my parents have been facing somewhat simular problems as me when they were my age but somehow they just refuse to believe I have any struggles at all It's really heartwarming to see a parent is trying to learn about these kinds of things and support their kids You deserve an award ma'am
Same, it breaks my heart that I have to watch my daughter going through the same thing that I did but so glad that we watch things like this together. Sometimes all it takes is someone showing you that they get it.
@@cHiStAhehe You're very kind! Thank you!! I'm frustrated af at situations like yours! I also can't fully wrap my head around it, although I try. IF it would help, I do actually have some thoughts on why people do as your parents seem to be doing. I don't know if you’re in a good head-space for that though, so please let me know if you'd like those thoughts? Regardless though - TAKE PRIDE that you have that intelligence and insight to SEE this about your parents, and your own situation!! It won't ever make things "all better", but it WILL help you navigate your own life more to your own well-being. GOOD ON YA! Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH 🥲🥲 My kiddos see my mistakes and fails, as well as my work to own them and to grow. As dopey as it sounds, I see them thriving where I could not, and it does help me heal. I truly wish I could hold and support SO MANY kiddos though. I see such beauty in every one, and EVERY ONE DESERVES TO BE SEEN!!! {{{{{HUGZ!!}}}}}
I know those days. The sigh afterwards is real. Usually followed by a few choice words in delicate whispers and another sigh. Take time for yourself and don’t forget to breath.
I never realised that, despite having a good relationship with them, how much I masked until I lived alone. It made me reflect on why I wanted alone time when i lived with them, vs wanted people over when I lived alone
I just made a pair of chairs i can use as a couch. Ended up a bit big but i essentially just made a nest and I'm just laying here with my cats destressing. I'm now stuck for the next week after learning woodwork skills and how to upholster.❤
Very appropriate for me to see this on Thanksgiving, it’s always exactly how I feel 🥲 I usually have to take a “break” and sit in my room in silence for 10 minutes before going back downstairs
You have a room, lucky i sleep on a couch , where i come from no such things as personal space and kids have their own rooms due to rent being expensive even with a upper middle income
I always stayed in my room as a kid, even now if I had my computer in my room now, I wouldn't ever go out besides to get water and eat and stuff. But when I've been at my brother's house? Almost no time was in the guest room, I was always around the house. Why? Because I never have to mask with my brother, we're both autistic so hell no to masking! My brother is so happy whenever he notices I'm not (I get super monotone apparently, I don't hear it even lol! I hear my voice like any person hears!) If you don't need to mask, then you don't need to decompress and be alone, and that's the best part
This reminded me of that one commenter on this channel who asked their girlfriend why she has no problem making eye contact with them and she said it’s because she feels safe with them
The only reason i leave is to get some snacks bc i haven't eaten the whole day the i hear shit like "do the dishes" "wash ur clothes" "make me some tea" "why are you always in your room"
I got this notification three minutes ago at 2:02 in the morning, and was about to tell you to get in bed and sleep. Turns out this was from four hours ago, And I need to go back to sleep lol
Then putting the mask back on because you family barge into your room all the time unexpectedly so now the only place you dont have to use your mask is in the school hallways when walking alone.
you always have to laugh before curling up in your room and contemplate life
always
Real 😭
Mhm
The only reason you left in the first place was to get food. Then your parent gives you that unskippable side quest.
Dishes for me unfortunately😔🙏🏾
THIS
The unskippable side question is going to the grocery store with them for an hour
@@Kitty-Lover Nah I'd want to tbh😭✋🏾
Man i hate sidequests
Why are you getting more and more accurate to my life.
Honestly same. It’s getting kind of scary
This was what I was talking about to my therapist about LAST WEEK
esp with the mort series

@PastaV4 THANKS! YOU TOO😊
And then staring at the ceiling for like 50 quadrillion years
Yessss

oh that’s so real, like I love hanging out with everyone… but sometimes I js need to lay in my bed and watch my comfort shows 😭
REAL like I like my friend but I also like my alone time
This is so acurate though! I will literally just hide in my room all day!
Like I'm doing now.
The relief of getting to escape is so real
Reminds me of when I become sickly aware that I have skin 😅
Sometimes I just need a little break....or a 3 hour long nap
Relatable
Its like really hard to socialize w/ family as an introvert
bro gets it!
Funny enough me and my family do that when we visit other family. When we leave, it's a huge relief.
Fr like i tell myself all day to hold my tears until i go to bed, when i know no one will see me cry. 😋😋
Same
Hope you get the support and comfort you deserve
I wish you the best. I know how it feels when crying leads to disaster no matter what. 🙏
Even then the bathroom is more trustworthy cause no one will barge in
@@JustAFantasy2015 true
But in my case you still gotta be quiet
AS AN AUTISTIC THAT SO REAL
taking a deep breath and finally calming down:✖️
immediately flopping on bed: ✔️✔️✔️
I like to just fall over and lay on the floor for like an hour or so, or until someone finds me :3
POV: you’ve been masking for 14 hours straight and it’s still not enough to help you make friends
So realllll talking to my father and especially my grandparents is so emotionally draining i hesitate before entering the room they are in
This is too real 😭
This man understands me better than I understand myself 😭
soooo real my room is my comfort place 😭😭😭😭
Dude same. It takes so much of my energy to keep a mask on 😢
FR LIKE I CAN FINALLY BE MY GAY LIL GOOBER SELF AGAIN SHIT
Edit: HOW HAS DANNY GOTTEN MORE AND MORE RELATABLE???
Fr, I get back into my room and oof goes the boy clothes on goes the girl clothes and then I become a demon of goober energy😅
@@Takashi_Kuragami444 fr when I get home it's off with those gender conforming stuff and on with my silly gender fluid goober energy :3
I'm a member of the Daydreaming nap Club, take care peeps ^^
Its like when you get home and FINALLY take off your binder
loki thats me like everyday 😂😂
I never realised that, despite having a good relationship with them, how much I masked until I lived alone. It made me reflect on why I wanted alone time when i lived with them, vs wanted people over when I lived alone
I can't tell you how much I relate to this.
This is just a normal me on a daily basis😂
When he took the breath of relief
I was like I know that feeling
nothing quite like a fresh lil (big) panic attack after the whole day of putting on a facade
and then binge AT LEAST one season of bluey while crocheting to recover.
Most relatable thing I have ever seen 🤩🤩
I feel that If I get to overwhelmed I have to vacate to my room
Yeahhh 🥲
the realness of this video is unreal
Literally me with mine 😅
Time to hate the feeling of your own skin without having to say "naaah just an itch!"
I just made a pair of chairs i can use as a couch. Ended up a bit big but i essentially just made a nest and I'm just laying here with my cats destressing.
I'm now stuck for the next week after learning woodwork skills and how to upholster.❤
I felt that to my core. I'm scared for thanks giving
thats me fr
family is overwhelming
I feel ya Danny, I do 😭😭
Emma: *sings*
Mikey: *sees creep and yells*
Takamichi: *sees creep look at Mikey starts CRASHING TF OUT*
Me: AYOOOOO!! *sees creep blush when he sees Mikey*
That sigh was personally blown into my experience s
Very appropriate for me to see this on Thanksgiving, it’s always exactly how I feel 🥲 I usually have to take a “break” and sit in my room in silence for 10 minutes before going back downstairs
This is my life each day 😅
You have a room, lucky i sleep on a couch , where i come from no such things as personal space and kids have their own rooms due to rent being expensive even with a upper middle income
This is the most relatable thing I have seen all day 😅
This gon be me on thanksgiving having an internal breakdown
I mask so often that I have *become* my mask 😂
I'm fooooiiiiiinnnee 😊😁😂
Dude… I know that feeling and it really f*cking sucks. I hope you discover your true self. I have been on that journey for a while now.
why is this so relatable 😂
I just felt this on so many levels
With friends: extrovert
When alone: introvert mode is on
WHY IS THIS SO RELATABLE 🤣
It's like finally being able to fart after holding it in all day
Why is this so relatable tho
More POVs of you running PLEASE
Hello Danny I love ur channel and hope u success more in life
This is so realll. I end up going in my closet (the same place I was hiding when my dad was about to emotionally abuse me and yelled!!) so preppy.
And then they beg for you to keep the door open and hang out with them right after the door is closed and your social battery is at 2%😅
All I’m gonna say is congratulations you made it through the seven levels of hell
FOR REAL THO LIKE CMOOOOOOOOOON
I feel personally attacked by this man’s relatability
Me when I lock the door at work when we close. 😂
So true so true this is also me like when I see my friends or just people in general
Stop being so real, I need an hour tops to decompress 😭😭😭
The relief is everything 😢 😪😭
REAL!!!! After all that do you dissociate and stare at a wall/ceiling for a while or do you escape into a thing social media/video game/etc?
oh the thrill of the introvert lifeeeee
Christmas be like:
I always stayed in my room as a kid, even now if I had my computer in my room now, I wouldn't ever go out besides to get water and eat and stuff. But when I've been at my brother's house?

If you don't need to mask, then you don't need to decompress and be alone, and that's the best part
Very relatable with my mom. It's a struggle to pretend that nothing is wrong? L.💀
*then silently screams and cries for the next half hour until my mom comes in and complains about being social with me*
This is me when I am at my grandparents house and they tell me I need to get out of my fucking shell and make me feel and do uncomfortable stuff 😤
I straight up yell like a Demon as soon as they leave my facinity like they were so close to feeling my rage
Yes. Perfect.
This reminded me of that one commenter on this channel who asked their girlfriend why she has no problem making eye contact with them and she said it’s because she feels safe with them

I share a room, so I head to the bathroom procrastinating life & having a mental breakdown before showing my face 😋
I LIKE THE WAY YOUR FACE IS SHAPED 👍
unmasking in the bedroom hits different
OMG WHY SO RELATABLE!!!!!😱😱😱😱
Then putting the mask back on because you family barge into your room all the time unexpectedly so now the only place you dont have to use your mask is in the school hallways when walking alone.
So real...
(I secretly wants Dany to notice me)
I feel that that is just so so real
This is me. I'll get home and just go to my mom. My mother loves to say that I only come out of my room to eat and harass my family.
This hit harder than it should have.
Ouch. OUUUUCH I RELATE TOO MUC-
Is that a junji ito shirt?
SAME THIS IS ME ALL THE TIME
I wear a mask with a smile(complete the lyrics if you want ig)
So real 😫 Me when I get home from work
Lucky..I don't even have a door...
Glad that I live in the basement except for school
The room be like : Don’t you worry your secret are safe with us ……💀💀💀
Literally i do this all the time but somehow my mother knowss!! Like howw you got magic powers
STOP CALLING ME OUT PEOPLE MIGHT ACTUALLY START RECOGNISING IM NOT OK😅
Oh❤
me right now haha
