@@cam2023x I literally went to a concert alone just a week ago and I had the best time! It definitely sounds a lil scary at first, but I promise you that you'll still enjoy yourself:)!
YES even if you start small! I went to Barnes and Nobles yesterday and I talked to one of the workers there for “help” I just thought he was cute. THEN HE ASKED FOR MY NUMBER and we are going on a DATE???! I don’t like to go anywhere without at least one other person and the first time I do go out alone i get asked out on a date??? Like fr guys put yourselves out there I genuinely never thought this would happen. Living my wattpad fantasy
Dude I swear it's all connected, the theme throughout this video is trusting your intuition, giving in and experiencing life on your own. AND to little surprise, it's attracting the same vibe in other people watching your video. In me as well, I've lately been feeling like I have to do more on my own because there's not alot of people around me wanting to just go do things that I want to, and then your video comes up, with the exact vibe I've been searching for to arise in my own life. Seeing others comment, sharing that they too want to do more things on their own, it's so beautiful wtf. Like energy attraaaaacts bitch
Ive always done things alone, for like 15 years😢 at most, 32😢 it sucks😢😢😢 wish i was brave enough to do things with people like you are doing things alone😮😢😢😢😊
omg why’d I start crying when that one person started dancing I love the way humans just naturally are drawn to having fun together even if they don’t know each other
I love communal experiences like that 52:58 where everyone is connecting without speaking and you just feel like you’re a part of something bigger and the world is actually so small and we’re all living different lives and ugh it makes me love being human and remember that there are good people and maybe experiences like that is something worth staying alive for ❤
It’s so comforting to see someone I admire so much as I admire Sarah, talk about her experience with anxiety. I felt like someone was reading my mind when she was sharing her winery dance experience haha
Duuuude I was just WAITING for a better help ad the entire vid 💀 so glad I haven’t seen another ad from them since she got backlash 🥺♥️ amazing to see someone actually appreciate their audience’s feedback about a spon. 😭😭😭
watching sarah open up these past few years facing her anxiety has given me so much courage to go out there and try experience things alone despite the fear.
Hi Sarah. I don't normally put comments. I just wanted to say that as a woman who is also around your age, with the same anxiety issues, it is really nice to hear someone speak about how their anxiety manifests itself. It feels so hard to describe to people what anxiety is if they don't have it. It really makes you feel isolated and can be so exhausting. I feel a little less alone just from you describing your experience. Thanks babe.
the self reflection you described going through after complimenting the grandma and the chain reaction of that was such a beautiful perspective to listen to. i deeply relate to needing that extra push toward actually engaging with those around me and speaking up, and it’s so important to recognize all of the beautiful chain reactions that can come when we do. loved this video so much, love this discussion of growth ❤❤❤
not me tearing up when u start dancing after being called out bc i am proud of u and it inspires me to not overthink everything seeing you grapple and overcome the same things, thank u for making these videos
This video is pure magic. I totally understand the feeling of craving a deeper connection to moments and situations, the way you put it into words speaks volumes to me and made me tear up. You inspire me and other young people in this generation to just let go of thoughts like this and let ourselves be perceived and feel like we all belong in this world ❤️❤️
I love how Sarah is never too cool for school to enjoy hanging out with older generations. I feel like that’s something more young people should give a chance. I mean the summer concert?!! So fun and cute. You can have fun doing anything if you have the right attitude. 😊
Girl I respect you so much for sharing your introspective thoughts about your experience, anxiety, and putting yourself in uncomfortable situations in order to grow and be a better version of yourself. I'm also a people pleaser with social anxiety so it was really confirming to hear your experience with it, and it takes such courage to be so vulnerable to so many people. Having the awareness of your issues and how it impacts your thoughts and behaviors is so important and honestly hard to do. But you're not only doing that yourself, you are also sharing that with all of us. And by showing that vulnerability, you send a very impactful message. And by also leading by example, you are showing us that we can all lead by example and make small impacts to the world around us. This video definitely had a big impact on me, thank you for sharing your whole journey to idyllwild with us💞
Unexpectedly started sobbing when sarah started talking about the dichotomy of the racing thoughts and wanting to be in the moment. I think I just needed to feel like I wasn’t the only one experiencing these exact thoughts, so grateful for sarah genuinely
This was so comforting because I always see sarah as someone who can just go anywhere talk to anyone without any trouble. For her to talk about her anxiety being alone during this and those thoughts was SO comforting to know she also feels those things. I absolutely loved all of this. Especially her talking through it. It makes you realize how much you miss out on because you hold yourself back. Sarah would have never had this amazing experience if she let her anxiety and fear of judgment get the best of her. THANK YOU SARAH! I’m planning on doing travel sonography so i’ll be alone a lot and this gave me so much ease.
It’s so comforting seeing a woman around my age doing things by herself. It really does make me excited for this new journey of living by myself single :,)
This is so cute. I feel like the older generation & our peers don’t realize how healing they can be when they’re in environments that allow them to just be free. All these vlogs are definitely making me consider booking my own solo trip to idle wild ☺️
I am so late lol but this has been the most HELPFUL video I've seen in my entire life. I watch so many influencers and I used to think they were all just constantly cool and extroverted and never had any anxiety but damn. Seeing someone be honest about what it's actually like to go out sometimes is so refreshing and therapeutic. I learned so much thank you!
this video genuinely made me so emotional in so many ways because of how seen i truly feel. i laughed out loud several times while also breaking out into happy tears several times during this video. just when i thought it couldn’t get more heartfelt when the lady started dancing and making a chain reaction of dancers, you meeting that sweet couple was truly the cherry on top. this type of content is what i needed today, sarah. :’) so glad you had fun!
Wow the second half of this video was so therapeutic for me since I struggle with the EXACT same thoughts as you! I’m so happy that you added that commentary for us and showed how awesome people can be. Everything perfectly aligned for you to have those amazing moments. I’m going to Lollapalooza alone this week but anxiety almost made me decide skip the festival. I’m going to try my best to genuinely connect with those around me this weekend. Thanks Sarah ☺️💗
Your ability to interact with strangers is honestly so inspiring. I love watching social interactions from afar but joining also makes me anxious asf. Props to you for feeling comfortable jumping in and having fun!
Literally crying. Pushing through moments of anxiety like this and making connections and growing is what it's all about. And it's like we all know this but we all live inside out heads, but when we can be present and live in the moment it's freakin amazing! Cheers to you! ✌️
sarah oh my gosh i can not even put into writing how much your videos like these mean to me cause like the storytelling, self-reflection, and u being funny as hell are just all so great ily
Sarah is such a unique and sweet soul! Her ability to articulate the world around her and feelings is honestly so refreshing and inspiring. She is that girlie💖
Sarah gets invited to so many places by random strangers and I love it. I’ve never witnessed anything like it. 😂 It’s honestly so cool and I’m envious.
sarah, u are the epitome of a comfort person for me. i’ve been supporting you for years and you’ve always felt like a best friend to me. this video meant so much to me and it really spoke to me. everything you talked abt are things i’ve really been struggling with, especially recently. i’ve learned that growing up and trying to navigate anxiety can feel so impossible but you make it seem achievable. i so so admire your ability to be so connected with yourself and realize what you are feeling and actively try to change it for the better. you mean so much to me, this video has really changed my perspective. if i stop worrying abt everything and just live in the moment so many cool things can happen. and like CHAIN REACTIONS and so many good things can happen. just reminded me just how good this life can be if you make that way. thank you for everything 🩷
Sarah is literally the friend we need for us socially anxious gals which seems like a lot of us are hahaha but thank you so much Sarah for encouraging and helping getting me out of my shell to do hang out and enjoy myself without feeling lonely ❤
I really admire the way you just let life happen to you. I’ve been in similar situations where my own insecurity holds me back from doing things I want to do or talking to new people and seeing the way you fought through it and had a great day is going to help me push myself 🫶
The way you articulated every social situation you were in was very therapeutic for me. I suffer from anxiety as well and it felt so good to be able to relate to everything you were saying. I respect you so much for this and you’re helping a lot of the people that watch you and I want you to know that I really appreciate you for this video.
This was comforting to hear and realize that I’m not the only one who deals with these issues as well. Anxiety really does make everything overly complicated. Thank you for expressing this to us all, I think a lot of us needed to hear this! We’re not alone❤
as a Taurus sun (because you’re a Taurus sun as well) we have the SAME worries, same anxiety, same people pleasing tendencies, also being shy and being scared of being vulnerable, but also our greatest traits is that we are able to enjoy the simple things in life and find beauty in it ❤️ throughout your vlog you found joy in music, food, the environment/atmosphere around you. that’s something i truly cherish about us! I am so happy to hear you had a chance to be open and be your unapologetic self because that’s something I always strive to do but my anxiety gets so bad that it shuts me down. this really encouraged me to give myself baby steps and be open when I can ❤ shoutout to that couple as well, it’s like the universe knew you needed that extra push and you had great people to encourage you to be you
Honestly she is so encouraging cause like i want to go on solo trips but i overthinking about being alone or being unsafe but seeing her i’m like sarah can do it I can
I went to the movies a few months ago by myself (which I have never before) because of you Sarah! Your solo trips and independence is so inspiring to so many people. Love u girly
sarah, as someone with really bad anxiety and social anxiety, seeing you describe your thoughts and the experiences that you went through is not only so encouraging, but it’s genuinely making people like myself feel so seen. I often feel like I can’t formulate though anxious thoughts into words and hearing you describe it was really affirming that I’m not alone. love you girly, thanks for being inspiring and I’m glad you had a really great time!!❤️
i’m crying @ the last part of the women dancing 😭 how beautiful of a moment !!! also sarah i know the exact feeling you’re explaining about being too anxious and in your head when you’re out in a social setting and still wanting to be there but also sitting in the corner not being present because of those thoughts. happens to me too often so you aren’t alone in this way🩶 ily sarah
You’re so real, I love how you are sharing your real feelings and battles with us. Honestly it’s probably really therapeutic to talk to the camera and go over everything once you’re back home. I loved every moment of this video. Thank you momma baska💗
Seeing Sarah do all these solo adventures inspired me and I went to a music festival alone for the first time last month and IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! Thank you for being you Sarah 🫶🏼
Sarah, I think I can speak for majority of your viewers that this video was one of the best videos you’ve ever made and thank you for making all of us feel so seen. We love you❤
I love how reflective you where during this video about your thoughts and inner dialogs. I can relate a lot to having doubtful or negative thoughts about myself when being around other people. Like what you said, that no one really cares or thinks anything bad about you and that it's mostly your own insecurities or mental struggles that interferes, when there really isn't any reason for it. It made me think a lot about over thinking things and that I have to work on that more ❤
I love these videos bc I'm on the same little wave length and go into my own cave mode moments and just escape by myself and take myself on relaxing little small trips. It is really therapeutic and just so satisfying and builds my confidence/ resets me to get back on track. ❤
Do you have any advice for someone that wants to take their first solo trip but is a bit nervous/scared? ❤️❤️ I’ve been feeling the urge to just pull the trigger & take the vacation lately but i keep thinking ab all the what ifs (which ik is stupid😭 but i can’t help it)
This video was so wholesome, I loved that sarah didn't just do a vlog but also talked about her feelings and reflections of her experience. As someone with anxiety this really motivates me to just be more open and just be nice to people, ugh this video is so special 😭🙏
Bro I just submitted my 8 page research paper for my first college class and I’m trying to let go of that stress and u uploaded at LITERALLY the perfect time God bless you ❤❤❤😭😭😭
The end made me so happy. As someone with the worst anxiety it was so inspiring to see how you were able to put yourself out there. I’ve been thinking about how much my anxiety holds me back. Thank you for sharing your experiences it means a lot Sarah.
The lady at the concert was so cute and he voice was actually really good! You could tell those were the songs they loved back in their day, they’re keeping the magic alive!
the whole part about being anxious and in your head about social interactions and even during the interaction itself. im very aware of how important respecting others boundaries are bc i know id want people to respect mine but i over analyze situations and i have pretty much a similar thought process as you. If i were alone and some strangers invited me to hang out with them id think "are they doing it bc they think im lonely? or they feel bad?" instead of thinking "they just wanted to talk to you, or maybe they wanna be friends." its very easy to feel bad for taking up space anywhere. i think as a women too and me being a minority ive overtly was made to feel like i shouldnt take up space and that i dont deserve to be heard. a lot of the times im so hyper aware of myself and my body that it feels like it takes the joy out of the experience im having, yet most times im also trying to be in the moment too. its frustrating sometimes but i try to get out of my head and just breathe. it usually helps. sometimes its just about not believing what your head is trying to tell you and instead just think about what you actually want.
Just found Sarah 2 days ago, and I'm watching these vids back to back as I clean my house tearing up with how much I can relate to the introspection and the serotonin I'm getting from your experiences🤍
All that introspection is so powerful, I resonate with all of it and hearing other people struggle with just making the first move or lost in their own head and worries is so fascinating. How many of us are missing out on soo much because we're letting our anxiety get the best of us? Anyways, glad you had such a great time!!!! Feel like I need to do a little journey myself 🎉
thank youuu sarah for sharing all of this stuff including the internal dialogue u were having during ur experience …i think all of us are more alike than we think and it’s moments like this that make us realize that
I’ve noticed that lately I’ve been more comfortable in my own company in crowds of people I don’t know. More confident in just doing things that I wouldn’t normally do without a group of friends by my side. I loved this video and just in general when you share your thoughts on your experiences and events that happen during your day. UGH LOVE THIS FR.
This introspection is what I needed and the fact that intuition kicked in and you spent that day getting out of your comfort zone! It taught you alot and taught me more than you know. You cheered me up and put joy into my 💜
sarah, i watched this video as soon as it came out and have felt drawn to come back ever since. this video is something i cannot put into words. your ability to tell stories openly about how you navigate your own human thoughts & emotions (especially with anxiety) is refreshing & admirable!! i struggle with social anxiety and it can feel all consuming, but this video gives me encouragement to be brave and do things that feel uncomfy sometimes. this was magical 🫶✨thank you sarah
Sarah, I LITERALLY ALWAYS FEEL THE SAME WAY. And I have basically ALWAYS let those complicated feelings prevent me from doing things. I have trouble putting words to those complicated feelings, and it’s really comforting and encouraging to see that you have the same thoughts that I do in social situations! Honestly, just thank you for sharing those feelings. It is crazy how we’re in our own little worlds and think we’re alone but we really aren’t. We really all be thinking the same things lol
I'm genuinely so proud of you. It's so great to be growing up with you bc I've been watching since like 2014. I'm 26 now and can relate to so much of what you say and then also gaining confidence in myself from your experiences. You motivate me to do more and be a light. Loveyooooooou
I agree so much with how you battle with yourself about making moves. And then at the same time you come across as so outgoing and fun with your friends. Or at least that’s how I feel. It’s not even confidence it just feels more comfortable to do things like that when you are with people you know. But it is also amazing seeing the ones who start that care free domino effect… not to get deep. I never comment on vids but this was dope to watch.
it truly is so helpful to hear you talk about your internal though processes and anxieties because I actually feel the same exact way so often, and probably so many others do too, and its so inspiring to see you move through it and live more fully
YESSSS ugh I love these videos so so much they're so calm and introspective and they make me giggle my ass off. I even realize so much about myself by listening to what you experience and realize. Absolutely vibing with this
I really needed to hear that last clip, “do I not want to go because of anxiety, or because I genuinely don’t want to?” Because I often find myself asking that a lot. I loved being able to see you go through this tiny self journey!! I’m going through my own slowly but surely ❤
The insights you gave behind how u were feeling during that vlog footage is what makes your content so unique and relatable. Thanks for being comfortable sharing, you make a lot of us feel a lot less alone haha.
Sarah, you know you co-created all of this ripple effect right? Because you are in alignment with your higher self, you are inspiring people to be themselves too! Beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing! 💕
This video was very therapeutic to me. I too struggle with social anxiety and people pleasing tendencies. And this video just encouraged me to stop living in my own head and just LIVE life! Thank you Sarah!
I never thought I liked being a people watcher until I heard you explain to us how you wanted to be in a certain spot to enjoy your surroundings. I sometimes get some sort of anxiety if I sit in the center just by myself, but if I'm coming to an event and there is people that I know that are there then I feel fine. Also, I can understand how you didn't push yourself to get up and dance with everyone else, but it also has to do with the fact that you din't have a trusty soul to exchange that energy with. It's very intimating at first but as SOON as you get up, all that anxiety leaves the body and it gets easier to just let out all that energy that you had built up. I'm 27 now and I've experienced many events with groups of people while I'm alone and it all depends on the vibes and how you're feeling in that moment, it really is up to you if the moment feels right to just GET UP, dance, yell, clap, doesn't matter if you're alone. At the end of the day we have to remember that we're all human with a passionate energy that sometimes we just need to feel and let out, it's a NEED! You just have to feel out the moment and it always feels so rewarding. 💞💞💞
Watching all these people living their best lives just brought tears to my eyes its so powerful to see how free you can be when you just live like no one is watching loved this video sm it’s honestly inspiring i just really needed to see that. Im sure as people we all just wanna be “the one that stands up and starts dancing first” but for some reason cant UGHH loved it
I really appreciate you sharing your introspective thoughts with us. I swear I have the same anxiety at events like that I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I envy how easily you are able to bond with strangers. I’ve always been a shy person so I lack a lot of social skills & have social anxiety. You made it look so fun!
Holy fck I connect with ur feelings around staying in the moment while also over thinking tf out of simply existing and yes I'm happy to be there but I'm just so in head at the same time it's a frustrating combination of emotions
This was truly an awesome and pure video, it’s nice seeing behind the scenes of how complicated anyone’s thoughts can be even someone who’s as nice and cool as Sarah. Made my day and made me feel more comfortable with my own crazy thoughts also gives me confidence that I CAN go on adventures by myself
overthinking a situation to death is so relatable. everything you were saying I feel all of the time and I literally am sitting in tears typing this because you made me feel so encouraged and inspired to be braver!
Sarah I’ve gained so many nuggets of wisdom from this video tonight. You’re such a good storyteller and I appreciate you sharing all your experiences and thoughts
this made me reflect about some of my own tendencies to hold myself back instead of opening up to new experiences and human connection and it's inspiring to see you enjoy yourself in spite of that ❤️
not me crying watching everyone get up to dance at the winery LOL... human experiences like that that bring us all together are so cool. i love moments like that
I cried so much during this video. I related so much to your feelings about interacting with strangers and creating connections. I always crave to be more open and free, and it makes me feel less alone knowing you go through it as well. Only I prevent myself from new experiences, and sometimes it’s difficult to break through that!! I also cried watching the community and how comforting the town seems to be. Seeing all the older people live their lives makes me wanna start living more!! Life is too short(: thank you Sarah for this beautiful video!!
Urgh, you have no idea how much I needed this! I used to be so confident to do things on my own, to speak to new people and to have these kinds of experiences. Long story short I was with someone not so great and lost a lot of that side of me. I’m going to a festival alone at the end of this month to try and push me to be that girl again, and you’ve reminded me how FUN and enlightening it is to do these things where I’ve just kind of been feeling fear and anxiety. Thank you, Angel. Your Idyllwild vlogs are so therapeutic 🤍
Seeing Sarah go to events alone is so encouraging to go on solo dates lol
Yessss I'm going to a concert alone and I'm so excited

Every time Sarah talks, I literally be smiling the whole time cuz she’s so good at storytelling

Over an hour long video?! What did we do to deserve this ??!😍
No joke 😂😂😂

omg why’d I start crying when that one person started dancing I love the way humans just naturally are drawn to having fun together even if they don’t know each other
Same! I started to tear up when they all started getting up to dance, it was such a pure, beautiful moment of community :,)
i started crying during that part too. just so heartwarming to see the power of human connection. 🩵
I love communal experiences like that 52:58 where everyone is connecting without speaking and you just feel like you’re a part of something bigger and the world is actually so small and we’re all living different lives and ugh it makes me love being human and remember that there are good people and maybe experiences like that is something worth staying alive for ❤
This was beautifully written ❤
Yeeessss ❤
We all get so caught up in the subtleties of our own suffering that we forget that most people are feeling the way we do. Life ain't so bad.
It’s so comforting to see someone I admire so much as I admire Sarah, talk about her experience with anxiety. I felt like someone was reading my mind when she was sharing her winery dance experience haha
The part where she says do i want to go or is it my anxiety? I agree so much cuz I think that a lot !
Duuuude I was just WAITING for a better help ad the entire vid 💀 so glad I haven’t seen another ad from them since she got backlash 🥺♥️ amazing to see someone actually appreciate their audience’s feedback about a spon. 😭😭😭
Fr, love when she talks about anxiety we can relate to
does anyone know where the vid of her talking about the security guard at the club is?
Crying at Sarah realising her people pleasing tendencies bc I relate so much and it feels so good to hear someone saying exactly how you feel.
watching sarah open up these past few years facing her anxiety has given me so much courage to go out there and try experience things alone despite the fear.
As someone who struggles with anxiety. I think its amazing how you still go places even if you didn't put yourself out there.
yay my favorite series, sarah randomly books a cabin in the middle of the weekend to escape her problems!!
Hi Sarah. I don't normally put comments. I just wanted to say that as a woman who is also around your age, with the same anxiety issues, it is really nice to hear someone speak about how their anxiety manifests itself.

I'm also a people pleaser with social anxiety so it was really confirming to hear your experience with it, and it takes such courage to be so vulnerable to so many people.

Sarah’s girl dinner is NyQuil and a whole rotisserie chicken 😂
And she didn't even eat the damn chicken 😂😂
The gagging I'm crying 😂😂😂
This is so cute. I feel like the older generation & our peers don’t realize how healing they can be when they’re in environments that allow them to just be free. All these vlogs are definitely making me consider booking my own solo trip to idle wild ☺️
honestly !!!
Seeing you push yourself to be in new and uncomfortable situations is really inspiring dude. Your storytelling skills never cease to amaze me

sarah, u are the epitome of a comfort person for me. i’ve been supporting you for years and you’ve always felt like a best friend to me. this video meant so much to me and it really spoke to me. everything you talked abt are things i’ve really been struggling with, especially recently. i’ve learned that growing up and trying to navigate anxiety can feel so impossible but you make it seem achievable. i so so admire your ability to be so connected with yourself and realize what you are feeling and actively try to change it for the better. you mean so much to me, this video has really changed my perspective. if i stop worrying abt everything and just live in the moment so many cool things can happen. and like CHAIN REACTIONS and so many good things can happen. just reminded me just how good this life can be if you make that way. thank you for everything 🩷
Sarah is literally the friend we need for us socially anxious gals which seems like a lot of us are hahaha but thank you so much Sarah for encouraging and helping getting me out of my shell to do hang out and enjoy myself without feeling lonely ❤
I really admire the way you just let life happen to you. I’ve been in similar situations where my own insecurity holds me back from doing things I want to do or talking to new people and seeing the way you fought through it and had a great day is going to help me push myself 🫶
JUST WHEN THE WORLD NEEDED HER MOST, SHE RETURNED
The way you articulated every social situation you were in was very therapeutic for me. I suffer from anxiety as well and it felt so good to be able to relate to everything you were saying. I respect you so much for this and you’re helping a lot of the people that watch you and I want you to know that I really appreciate you for this video.
I see Sarah posts, I stop what I’m doing and I watch.
every time
It’s just what you do
FOR FKIN REAL
This was comforting to hear and realize that I’m not the only one who deals with these issues as well. Anxiety really does make everything overly complicated. Thank you for expressing this to us all, I think a lot of us needed to hear this! We’re not alone❤
me expecting to see a game of thrones style dragon and see...the most cursed looking sculpture i've ever seen in my life 💀 i love sarah so much
HAHAHA yes I thought the same thing that dragon sculpture is cursed 😂
made me grind my teeth the texture something about the texture 😰😰
Haha I’m glad someone said something. Sorry girl I love you but that sculpture is 🫣
as a Taurus sun (because you’re a Taurus sun as well) we have the SAME worries, same anxiety, same people pleasing tendencies, also being shy and being scared of being vulnerable, but also our greatest traits is that we are able to enjoy the simple things in life and find beauty in it ❤️ throughout your vlog you found joy in music, food, the environment/atmosphere around you. that’s something i truly cherish about us! I am so happy to hear you had a chance to be open and be your unapologetic self because that’s something I always strive to do but my anxiety gets so bad that it shuts me down. this really encouraged me to give myself baby steps and be open when I can ❤ shoutout to that couple as well, it’s like the universe knew you needed that extra push and you had great people to encourage you to be you
you’ve made me wanna go there so badly. the video of everyone getting up and dancing brought me so much joy idk i can’t explain it
i know what you mean
Honestly she is so encouraging cause like i want to go on solo trips but i overthinking about being alone or being unsafe but seeing her i’m like sarah can do it I can
Having a really hard time right now, this is just what I needed to lift my spirits. Thank u Sarah 💞
same:( her videos make me so happy though
i hope things get better for you soon 💝
Sending love ur way
You guys are so lovely, thank you so much. 💞
I feel you. One day at a time 💜
I went to the movies a few months ago by myself (which I have never before) because of you Sarah! Your solo trips and independence is so inspiring to so many people. Love u girly
sarah, as someone with really bad anxiety and social anxiety, seeing you describe your thoughts and the experiences that you went through is not only so encouraging, but it’s genuinely making people like myself feel so seen. I often feel like I can’t formulate though anxious thoughts into words and hearing you describe it was really affirming that I’m not alone. love you girly, thanks for being inspiring and I’m glad you had a really great time!!❤️
i’m crying @ the last part of the women dancing 😭 how beautiful of a moment !!! also sarah i know the exact feeling you’re explaining about being too anxious and in your head when you’re out in a social setting and still wanting to be there but also sitting in the corner not being present because of those thoughts. happens to me too often so you aren’t alone in this way🩶 ily sarah
You’re so real, I love how you are sharing your real feelings and battles with us. Honestly it’s probably really therapeutic to talk to the camera and go over everything once you’re back home. I loved every moment of this video. Thank you momma baska💗
Seeing Sarah do all these solo adventures inspired me and I went to a music festival alone for the first time last month and IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! Thank you for being you Sarah 🫶🏼
Sarah, I think I can speak for majority of your viewers that this video was one of the best videos you’ve ever made and thank you for making all of us feel so seen. We love you❤
Couldn’t agree more 😌🥹
@@allimaerichardson8991 thank you!! Her videos are the best🫶🏽
I love how reflective you where during this video about your thoughts and inner dialogs. I can relate a lot to having doubtful or negative thoughts about myself when being around other people. Like what you said, that no one really cares or thinks anything bad about you and that it's mostly your own insecurities or mental struggles that interferes, when there really isn't any reason for it. It made me think a lot about over thinking things and that I have to work on that more ❤
I love these videos bc I'm on the same little wave length and go into my own cave mode moments and just escape by myself and take myself on relaxing little small trips. It is really therapeutic and just so satisfying and builds my confidence/ resets me to get back on track. ❤
Do you have any advice for someone that wants to take their first solo trip but is a bit nervous/scared? ❤️❤️ I’ve been feeling the urge to just pull the trigger & take the vacation lately but i keep thinking ab all the what ifs (which ik is stupid😭 but i can’t help it)
This video was so wholesome, I loved that sarah didn't just do a vlog but also talked about her feelings and reflections of her experience. As someone with anxiety this really motivates me to just be more open and just be nice to people, ugh this video is so special 😭🙏
Bro I just submitted my 8 page research paper for my first college class and I’m trying to let go of that stress and u uploaded at LITERALLY the perfect time God bless you ❤❤❤😭😭😭
Good job finishing your first paper you got this!!
I remember writing my first college paper. Those page length requirements are so stress inducing! Good for you for finishing your first one!
@@cassidym.7687 @juliettelee9226 omg thank you guys 😭😭🫶 I really appreciate that
Remember the feeling of „I did that“ trust me it’ll get you through so much. Currently writing a 30 page paper and I’m looking forward to being done 😎
Dawg I’m dying at this rotisserie bit omg 11:27 😭😭😭😭
The end made me so happy. As someone with the worst anxiety it was so inspiring to see how you were able to put yourself out there. I’ve been thinking about how much my anxiety holds me back. Thank you for sharing your experiences it means a lot Sarah.
“Yes, Phillip”. We love Phillip, and I love that Sarah had a nice fun and wholesome night!!! ❤
The lady at the concert was so cute and he voice was actually really good! You could tell those were the songs they loved back in their day, they’re keeping the magic alive!
Her little "woo"'s in the Bruno Mars song 🥰😭
Can’t stop replaying Sarah swagging up the soul train with the sunglasses on like it’s 1995
the whole part about being anxious and in your head about social interactions and even during the interaction itself. im very aware of how important respecting others boundaries are bc i know id want people to respect mine but i over analyze situations and i have pretty much a similar thought process as you. If i were alone and some strangers invited me to hang out with them id think "are they doing it bc they think im lonely? or they feel bad?" instead of thinking "they just wanted to talk to you, or maybe they wanna be friends." its very easy to feel bad for taking up space anywhere. i think as a women too and me being a minority ive overtly was made to feel like i shouldnt take up space and that i dont deserve to be heard. a lot of the times im so hyper aware of myself and my body that it feels like it takes the joy out of the experience im having, yet most times im also trying to be in the moment too. its frustrating sometimes but i try to get out of my head and just breathe. it usually helps. sometimes its just about not believing what your head is trying to tell you and instead just think about what you actually want.
Just found Sarah 2 days ago, and I'm watching these vids back to back as I clean my house tearing up with how much I can relate to the introspection and the serotonin I'm getting from your experiences🤍
All that introspection is so powerful, I resonate with all of it and hearing other people struggle with just making the first move or lost in their own head and worries is so fascinating. How many of us are missing out on soo much because we're letting our anxiety get the best of us?
Anyways, glad you had such a great time!!!! Feel like I need to do a little journey myself 🎉
thank youuu sarah for sharing all of this stuff including the internal dialogue u were having during ur experience …i think all of us are more alike than we think and it’s moments like this that make us realize that
watching all of the moms and daughters of all ages dance together 🥹 that did something to my soul
I’ve noticed that lately I’ve been more comfortable in my own company in crowds of people I don’t know. More confident in just doing things that I wouldn’t normally do without a group of friends by my side. I loved this video and just in general when you share your thoughts on your experiences and events that happen during your day. UGH LOVE THIS FR.
always an instant click w sarah + the woods
This introspection is what I needed and the fact that intuition kicked in and you spent that day getting out of your comfort zone! It taught you alot and taught me more than you know.
You cheered me up and put joy into my 💜
your self reflection throughout the whole video is amazing to watch and you describe it so well
sarah, i watched this video as soon as it came out and have felt drawn to come back ever since. this video is something i cannot put into words. your ability to tell stories openly about how you navigate your own human thoughts & emotions (especially with anxiety) is refreshing & admirable!! i struggle with social anxiety and it can feel all consuming, but this video gives me encouragement to be brave and do things that feel uncomfy sometimes. this was magical 🫶✨thank you sarah
Sarah, I LITERALLY ALWAYS FEEL THE SAME WAY. And I have basically ALWAYS let those complicated feelings prevent me from doing things.
I have trouble putting words to those complicated feelings, and it’s really comforting and encouraging to see that you have the same thoughts that I do in social situations!
Honestly, just thank you for sharing those feelings. It is crazy how we’re in our own little worlds and think we’re alone but we really aren’t. We really all be thinking the same things lol
I'm genuinely so proud of you. It's so great to be growing up with you bc I've been watching since like 2014. I'm 26 now and can relate to so much of what you say and then also gaining confidence in myself from your experiences. You motivate me to do more and be a light. Loveyooooooou
I agree so much with how you battle with yourself about making moves. And then at the same time you come across as so outgoing and fun with your friends. Or at least that’s how I feel. It’s not even confidence it just feels more comfortable to do things like that when you are with people you know. But it is also amazing seeing the ones who start that care free domino effect… not to get deep. I never comment on vids but this was dope to watch.
it truly is so helpful to hear you talk about your internal though processes and anxieties because I actually feel the same exact way so often, and probably so many others do too, and its so inspiring to see you move through it and live more fully
YESSSS ugh I love these videos so so much they're so calm and introspective and they make me giggle my ass off. I even realize so much about myself by listening to what you experience and realize. Absolutely vibing with this
I really needed to hear that last clip, “do I not want to go because of anxiety, or because I genuinely don’t want to?” Because I often find myself asking that a lot. I loved being able to see you go through this tiny self journey!! I’m going through my own slowly but surely ❤
The insights you gave behind how u were feeling during that vlog footage is what makes your content so unique and relatable. Thanks for being comfortable sharing, you make a lot of us feel a lot less alone haha.
All the little people dancing together was so stinking cute I started to tear up 😭
Sarah, you know you co-created all of this ripple effect right? Because you are in alignment with your higher self, you are inspiring people to be themselves too! Beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing! 💕
Crazy how when you open up to universe how many opportunities you get to experience✨✨
I love the spontaneous idle wild concert in the woods it was so wholesome:,)
This literally feels like I am just on facetime with my bestie. Sarah is really my comfort person ❤
I’ve never even considered going places alone until Sarah starting posting these solo adventures
This video was very therapeutic to me. I too struggle with social anxiety and people pleasing tendencies. And this video just encouraged me to stop living in my own head and just LIVE life! Thank you Sarah!
I never thought I liked being a people watcher until I heard you explain to us how you wanted to be in a certain spot to enjoy your surroundings. I sometimes get some sort of anxiety if I sit in the center just by myself, but if I'm coming to an event and there is people that I know that are there then I feel fine. Also, I can understand how you didn't push yourself to get up and dance with everyone else, but it also has to do with the fact that you din't have a trusty soul to exchange that energy with. It's very intimating at first but as SOON as you get up, all that anxiety leaves the body and it gets easier to just let out all that energy that you had built up. I'm 27 now and I've experienced many events with groups of people while I'm alone and it all depends on the vibes and how you're feeling in that moment, it really is up to you if the moment feels right to just GET UP, dance, yell, clap, doesn't matter if you're alone. At the end of the day we have to remember that we're all human with a passionate energy that sometimes we just need to feel and let out, it's a NEED! You just have to feel out the moment and it always feels so rewarding. 💞💞💞
Watching all these people living their best lives just brought tears to my eyes its so powerful to see how free you can be when you just live like no one is watching loved this video sm it’s honestly inspiring i just really needed to see that. Im sure as people we all just wanna be “the one that stands up and starts dancing first” but for some reason cant UGHH loved it
sarah you know what the people want. thank you for the hour long video!!
Gosh you make me feel less alone. This video really opened up my mind.
I really appreciate you sharing your introspective thoughts with us. I swear I have the same anxiety at events like that I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I envy how easily you are able to bond with strangers. I’ve always been a shy person so I lack a lot of social skills & have social anxiety. You made it look so fun!
Holy fck I connect with ur feelings around staying in the moment while also over thinking tf out of simply existing and yes I'm happy to be there but I'm just so in head at the same time it's a frustrating combination of emotions
I have social anxiety lol like it's been bad for a while and "connection" is something I've always struggled with
I'm proud of you for pushing yourself to be present and just go with the flow
This was truly an awesome and pure video, it’s nice seeing behind the scenes of how complicated anyone’s thoughts can be even someone who’s as nice and cool as Sarah. Made my day and made me feel more comfortable with my own crazy thoughts also gives me confidence that I CAN go on adventures by myself
overthinking a situation to death is so relatable. everything you were saying I feel all of the time and I literally am sitting in tears typing this because you made me feel so encouraged and inspired to be braver!
Sarah I’ve gained so many nuggets of wisdom from this video tonight. You’re such a good storyteller and I appreciate you sharing all your experiences and thoughts
this made me reflect about some of my own tendencies to hold myself back instead of opening up to new experiences and human connection and it's inspiring to see you enjoy yourself in spite of that ❤️
not me crying watching everyone get up to dance at the winery LOL... human experiences like that that bring us all together are so cool. i love moments like that
I cried so much during this video. I related so much to your feelings about interacting with strangers and creating connections. I always crave to be more open and free, and it makes me feel less alone knowing you go through it as well. Only I prevent myself from new experiences, and sometimes it’s difficult to break through that!!
I also cried watching the community and how comforting the town seems to be. Seeing all the older people live their lives makes me wanna start living more!! Life is too short(: thank you Sarah for this beautiful video!!
Urgh, you have no idea how much I needed this! I used to be so confident to do things on my own, to speak to new people and to have these kinds of experiences. Long story short I was with someone not so great and lost a lot of that side of me. I’m going to a festival alone at the end of this month to try and push me to be that girl again, and you’ve reminded me how FUN and enlightening it is to do these things where I’ve just kind of been feeling fear and anxiety. Thank you, Angel. Your Idyllwild vlogs are so therapeutic 🤍
im so glad you stayed longer and experienced the kindness and joy of strangers and being human :) that’s one of the best feelings i get.
