Different people have different issues and I dont think Im worthy enough to compare my problems with a multi millionaire that's dealing with his father death while avoiding internet trolls
I really like the part when Dr. K first asks about how it feels to be talked over, and when Jack starts going into the logical explanation, Dr. K talks over him with the same question to get the actual feeling out of Jack. Such a subtle but great way to get people to be more honest with themselves.
Sean, I clicked on this video thinking "oh sure, I'll throw on this longer video so I can work and have a creator I look up to play in the background," but I've gotten nothing done, and instead I'm sitting here pretending I don't have a lump in my throat. Since my TH-cam has "taken off" I've been having so much trouble keeping up. I can feel so many parallels between my timeline and yours, especially mentally. It is so goddamn encouraging to hear you talk about your emotional struggle with the attention that comes with a larger audience. You obviously have a much larger audience, and deal/have dealt with the things that I am to a much larger degree, but this has been helpful to me. This comment will no doubt get lost in the thousands of positive comments, but even reaching out to you to tell you this helps me feel less isolated in what I'm doing. Thanks, man.
You're doing incredible. I hope you find a way to manage these things a little better for your own sanity. But also remember that just because his audience is bigger than yours, it doesn't invalidate your own feelings and perspective on things, especially if there are parallels. Figure things out at your own pace, do what you need to do, and make it work for you however you can. ♥
Omg, it's so cool to see you here! I just wanna tell you, and this may sound cliché, but if you ever feel the need to take some time off for whatever reason please do. Your content is amazing and informative, but you're more important. Especially seeing as you put so much effort into all of your videos, it must take WEEKS to make anything, and you have to witness some pretty horrible people to do so. (sorry if that sounded preachy, i really do care about your health even though I don't know you).
Jack saying that he is taking break from YT while his father passed away. I think he is just using the tragedy for the fame because he seems to be constantly posting about it?
It's sad how Jack has to always be like "this is why I'm taking a break" losing someone so close such as a parent is going to hit you hard and because Jack is popular he has to tell people every little thing because he doesn't want people digging into stuff they shouldn't be in. I don't want to sound like every person ever but, do whatever you need to Jack because you are a human and humans can have emotion. I love you Jack
Jack is a popular youtube star, and there will always be people obsessed with digging to find personal information and issues. Jack probably understands that he chose this career path that will give him problems and that is what makes being popular not as good as it looks and it's almost impossible to fix that so the best thing to do is just ignoring people that are digging information about him
i agree with this very much. i would be confused without an explanation, but if i learned what happened i would wait and not dig into anything cause it isn’t my business
Your right I’m tired of people, whenever a TH-camr leaves without explaining they always come up with these crazy ass videos that portray that TH-camr in a bad way just so they can get views and money
Every part about his insecurities and being the youngest kid, not getting your word in and all of the things about loving yourself and realizing that you ARE good enough. You’re not just a smaller version of someone else, you’re your own person. That stuff hit HARD
This hit really hard and especially for someone like jack it shouldnt be a thing. He is such a strong character and such a strong person too like he is sounding here and he and we all have to understand that we are our own person
For sure. I literally just had a conversation with someone about this exact matter and seeing this video made me cry all over again. It's just good to know that people other than myself have experienced these issues and have found ways to overcome them. I needed this video and its timing could not have been more impeccable.... I appreciate Jack posting this and I hope he's doing well.
Its all our attachment relationships in childhood especially the first 5 years it always started in childhood. Its not just like learning and evrything our understanding of ourselves but mainly it effects our neural networks it can change but i feel everyone interacting with children especially parents (being the main attachment relationship) need to have some understanding of the impact of thier words and responses and approach to children. Kids just need us to be there and accept them for who they are and teach them to be in the ws orld and not push down (depress) their real thoughts and feelings abs punish them for it instead just be there with them whilst they figure it out and not impose our mess on them. I understand now that my anger issues mainly come from not being allowed to Express myself as a child abs not knowing how to deal with the intense emotions also punishments for actions made me self centred in processing thr world (ie. How will this effect me will i be caught or punished) ai can go ooonnnnn on on
Dear Jack The older I get the more life stops giving and the more it begins to take but the fact that you continue to give yourself shows your character sir. There is only room for kindness these days after the hell we have all lived through.
This is so healthy, pure, and needed. There are so many people, especially men, that do not seek any sort of help for many things, and especially mental health. So excited to see you normalizing this practice, in a very public way, which was likely very difficult. Love you dude, keep on being you.
Sometimes it usuals to be a guy emotionally because everyone expects you to be a tough guy like the player from DOOM and it’s hard to not get made fun of
Yeah I plan to open up my own TH-cam Channel some day and if I ever need something like this to like sit down with. I know this is an option to try to reach out to, and also from watching this video, know what to look out for and try and avoid like the point about not knowing who I am outside of TH-cam and taking critisicm as an adult due to the opposite of what people who actually care for my progress think about me. I am interested in psychology as well and I have tried helping some of my friends in any way that I could and this is just amazing to watch.
I really need to see a therapist. This shit was hitting so close, I started crying. And a lot of what Jack said about self actualization really spoke to me, it makes me want to help myself in the way I deserve.
Honestly, the privacy or hate thing is something really toxic that is embedded into a lot of people online. The whole “oh you should’ve expected it” thing is a completely valid viewpoint, but at the end of the day, ONLINE CONTENT CREATORS ARE STILL PEOPLE WITH RIGHTS.
I am honestly astonished that Jack was brave enough to post a very vulnerable therapy session to the internet. When most people are hiding behind a screen, he's laid himself bare to everyone. I can't get over that level of vulnerability. And as a social worker who has seen many different therapists, this guy is REALLY good. Bravo to the both of you, but most of all you, Jack. So proud of you and I feel so honored that you shared this with us. Thank you.
Yeah. I like listening to him because he can be so deep. (His voice and what he's saying) I just hope those people who are making memes and shit about his Dad, deserve to have their legs broken. I don't actually want that. I'm being extra but I hope they get hurt emotionally not physically.
"sounds like you learned to be a character at quite a young age, and that you had to be a character to be noticed" FUCK you bet i cried man. i am so grateful that you both did this. i really do hope that you are doing okay. what you have gone through and are currently go through is shaping you to be the self realizing person you are. and it's beautiful to see.
If someone has been anxious about therapy, maybe worrying about what it’s like and hesitating to get a therapist, I hope that this made it a little easier and took away some of that fear.
I've had amazing and terrible therapists for me. It's important to find someone that works with and for you. Someone who you have great rapport with and who seems to sincerely and genuinely HEAR you.
Honestly if he decided to ever take a year long break, I wouldn’t even be mad. He deserves time to himself. TH-cam is stressful, there’s trolls who can honestly get to you sometimes. I’m so happy he decided to take the time and open up.
I love how Dr. K is opening with a “stranger.” I’ve had therapists try to open up conversations I’m not ready to have. Then I feel forced into it. I left those therapist.
It takes time to find a therapist that matches with what you need. Whenever a therapist asked me "What do you expect from this therapy?" I already had a foot out the door (metaphorically speaking). Or when they ask questions you genuinely don't know the answer to but they make you sit for 10 minutes crying in silence as if the answer will magically pop up in your head. It never did for me. At least those are things I personally can't stand at all so I left. I hope you found a therapist you feel comfortable with. Someone I know went to like 4 different therapists and is still struggling to find a new one. It can be exhausting. (Edit: Typo)
I recently lost my 98yo grandma and while it wasn’t unexpected, it still fckn hit hard 🥺 I take forever to grieve for my family, I’m still not “over” my grandpa’s death in February 1992 , and that’s ok too
I feel your pain and I’m sorry for our loss. I lost my Dad and Grandma in the year in 2015. You never truly “get over” their passing, however as long as you find the strength to keep moving forward then you’ll make them happy and you will become stronger.
I don’t exactly know how it must feel to lose a loved one but I have an idea of how much it would F’ing suck to lose them. I am very sorry for your loss😢
The fact that the comments on here are all way longer than the normally upvoted instant punchline sort of youtube jokes is so cool. It's just everyone sharing their own experiences and relating to eachother's (and Jack's) positions and problems. I think it's awesome!
Me too! I've always enjoyed reading more reflective and more well thought out comments than the instant punchline ones. Not that there's anything wrong with the punchline ones, but it gets a bit repetitive after a while.
I feel like all you need to say is “we like you as a person and not just an entertainer and you’re perfect the way you are” don’t worry about it. Do what you want, you’re already a legend
do you mean "not just AS an entertainer" or do you mean "we like you as a person but not as an entertainer" ? I'm sorry for asking just a little bit confused.
I’ve always been scared to go see a therapist for how people would judge me or how they would see me but seeing this really helps me to feel okay with talking to someone about my own personal issues without being judged for them. Thank you Sean, Seriously Thank you
It's the therapist's job to never judge you. If that is any help, you can think to yourself that you will probably never be the "worst" or "weirdest" patient they've seen. And even if that's the case they will not judge you for it but instead try their hardest to help you.
This is such a refreshing piece of content. To see someone who is highly valued and has a lot of expectations held against them talk about how draining it can be is fascinating to me. It really brings back the point that all creators are still humans. Who, behind the scenes, have had to fight for their place at the table or fight to get their point across and have their voice heard. For all we appreciate Sean and how hard he works, a lot of people need to remember that he is only 1 person who is grieving the death of his father, and working through a lot of emotional pain during the last few years. The self growth and reflection that consistently happened during this exchange was fantastic. So much love & support to Jack as always.
"It became a writing essay to say who can give the best condolences." It is so sad that being as famous as you are, it attracts fake friends that only drop their act when you actually need them. We need to do better.
that's why i tend to avoid those types of Vids, all those sappy *_fake_* "oh i'm sorry for your loss" bullshit comments, here i am, actually on the wage of tearing up if i see those vids,
Yea, when i see the “you got this jack” and “sorry for your loss jack” i want to believe they are serious, but like he said, its like a writing essay for the best condolence
@@zoe1755 unfortunately, as a content creator, what he's talking about are fellow content creators who use him for clout. :( I think the majority of regular people are kind-hearted tho.
whenever i hear or see “jacksepticeye” i think of sean. i don’t think of a character. i think of this person that brings me and millions of others joy. we love you sean. take the time you need, we’ll be here when you want to be here. ❤️
Same! I actually started watching his channel daily once he sorta stripped back the Jackscepticeye character a bit and became a bit more genuine. Always loved the guy! But it was easier to see he was really there and really enjoying his life and his content.
Let’s stop holding celebs and youtubers to such high standards of what we want them to be and just appreciate them for who they are. If we see them on the street, just say hello! and that’s it. Let’s not rush them or not allow them to live how they want to. It’s toxic. Try to think of it in a way as if you’re in a relationship with someone. Would you date them for who they are and then expect them to be completely different to uphold how you want them to be? Then you’re not with them for who they are anymore. More like a doll for you to control and morph. Don’t like that thought? Don’t do it to celebs then! It’s along the same lines. Like obviously support them with everything they do, but don’t change them.
True but some of them do crave the attention then b*tch when they get it it's a ruthless cycle. Not so with Jack but I could name a few but to each their own 🤷♀️ I think we each need to realize we're all human beings,we all have issues no matter what profession you're in Being a celeb,a popular youtuber,singer etc doesn't make them better or worse than others it also doesn't cancel out their own illnesses mental or otherwise. I think some people view them as somewhat bulletproof for lack of a better word because of the persona they carry which obviously isn't the case.
I'm honestly genuinely disgusted that people would even make fun of anyone's death, let alone an influencer's. I said this when Sean first mentioned this too but people are just so unempathetic and narrow minded that it saddens me. I'm just glad Sean is getting the help he needs, and it's smth I need to do too which is inspiring in it's own way. I'm thankful for Sean for posting this super private session, I hope people aren't stupid enough to say he's doing this for pity.
It made me nauseous when I saw that people were doing it. I cannot believe that there are people on this earth that could be so awful. It honestly makes me really sad. Neither Sean or his Dad deserve that. (Sorry for my bad grammar)
@@Fleeb-pb7zo it depends, if it's someone who was inherently racist, homophobic, etc. then maybe, but if it's someone who i disagree with on just a small topic then def not
Whenever I talk about stuff I struggle with people always say “you’re not alone” but what they say doesn’t ever feel true until you hear someone else talking about the same problems with words you’ve been thinking for so long, thank you Jack
27:50 “I’m gonna ask you like personal questions about feelings and shit like that.” I just love the way he said it, lol. It’s refreshing to hear professionals who talk like us. I really think having younger experts is beneficial in reaching out.
I remember I was talking to my therapist and I got so into the story I was telling, and I started to get kinda mad at recalling the events, and I nearly slipped up and said a bunch of really nasty statements, and the therapist was like "Don't be scared to say things, if you cuss or anything like that I'm not gonna fuss at you for it" and I was honestly surprised. Later on, I don't remember if it was that session or the next or so, she started kinda cussing, more slip ups than anything and it wasn't crazy, kinda like how they were talking to each other in the video. I just thought it was really cool that she didn't see it as this hush-hush thing, she didn't seem to think that I shouldn't do it and shouldn't be exposed to it at all, and she didn't really seem to think it was unprofessional to just say ultimately meaningless words a few times. Didn't mean to type so much, I tend to go on. I'm basically just agreeing with you, it's so cool to see a professional figure act and think and talk like you. There's a few instances with the same therapist that I didn't like, and a few that I really did like like what I just said (idk if it makes sense in the way I worded it)
Jack thinks we will abandon him if he leaves for too long. I’m here to say, on behalf of (hopefully) everyone who watches your videos, that we enjoy your content. You know that, of course, being this popular. But what I don’t think you understand is that we enjoy it enough to stay with you and the channel, but not so much that a small break displeases us. If you need free time, if you need a break, just do it. We’ll be here. You don’t need such a horrible thing like a close family member passing away to deserve a break. But one thing, if I may ask... Don’t leave forever.
Definitely, everyone needs their own space and even if he left for half a year I'd happily give him that time off and would await his return peacefully
I'd go further than that and say than even if he wants to leave for good for whatever reason, then godspeed to him. Jack doesn't owe anything to the universe and we should be grateful for every single video he's ever put out. Nothing lasts forever, and we should not take his content, his motivation or his interest for granted. If he ever feels like stopping his youtube career and trying out something else in everything that life has to offer, then I sure wish he follows his dreams rather than stay because some of us would hate to not get new videos from him. At the end of the day, we're all the main character in our own story. The one person whose opinion matters the most in Jack's life is Jack himself. Or rather, Seán himself. So I hope he always chooses to do whatever is best for himself, first and foremost.
Yeah honestly I wouldnt mind even if he took more and longer breaks. I follow plenty of youtubers who only upload every other week or month. Heck one of my fav youtubers is making a podcast that has, as of now, only 19 episodes and it started back in 2015.
When Jack was talking about pleasing people he's entire life and not pleasing himself and focusing on what he needs that's when I was thinking how much I can relate. He's so brave to open up about what he's been feeling and I hope this helps him. Stay strong Jack 💪🏻
I've been waiting LITERAL AGES!!! For someone to tell Jack to stop devaluating his own words!!!! That the things he puts out there are more than enough and he shouldn't doubt his own skills in getting the message across!!!! He's been doing that since as long as I can remember and im glad that someone finally made him be more aware of it. I wish you all the best Seán, Love you!!!💞💖💘
We need more people being so open about getting help. Watching this humanises streamers, celebrities etc and that's important so we can see that they go through all the daily crap that we do and they need time to heal just like us. His family and friends must be very proud of the man he is x
@Raquel De Abreu 2026 I'm not saying they're not but Jack has literally said throughout that video that the healing period has been more difficult because of the way fans/the public have acted. So clearly some people do have an issue with seeing these people as humans
@Raquel De Abreu 2026 calling me rude and going on the defensive is exactly what's wrong with the way people act on the internet. I'm also not saying they need to put their private lives out there for us to see like this and unless they do then they're not human. You're literally putting words in my mouth that I didn't say or insinuate so please don't do that. Were all happy for Jack and the continued openess and acceptance of mental health so let's not come for eachother in the comment section
I was genuinely disgusted with all of the negative comments about Seán's father and his schedule. I was very disappointed with the negative perception of the time that he took off, but some of it was restored with the positive 'feedback' that was given.
i think people are taking too much offense from the dibshits doing that. just ignore them and leave that hot mess before things get worse. but you yell back at them, and that makes them do it more. telling them to "fuck off" will make them do it more. so stop talking about it and support sean.
I ate up every word of this because not being heard is something I’m currently battling. Thank you Jack for being here and sharing journeys like this. I don’t know if I’d be as self reflective as I am if I hadn’t found your channel and I am always reaping the rewards of being taught that. I’m someone who, since the first day, has been watching for you and only you. It’s the reason I’ve been watching for the last 8 years and counting. No matter the subject, I watch because of you. I will absolutely build your ego and say that seeing someone so genuine and someone who is here to just do what they love cause they truly want to is the cornerstone of why I always keep coming back. Thank you. You inspire me everyday. I appreciate you. What a lovely surprise! Thank you for 300 likes! This community is amazing and im always glad to be apart of it! 😄
Been watching for 6, and I watch others such as MatPat and other newer and staple creators, but I’ve been with Sean (with an accent) and Jack the whole way. He’s the reason I listen to metal, and helping me reflect on the rut I’m in. Sorry for the essay, just felt it was right to let someone know.
I feel pity for him tbh. He’s quite immature but is really desperate to act like he isn’t and prove his intelligence I’ve noticed. It doesn’t really work well that he acts dumb in his videos but then try’s explaining something in detail five seconds later. It’s made me kind of go off his vids. And he always makes his mic audio way louder then the game and talks loud anyway making it worse.
@@arryn786 He said himself that he has always had the problem of being a people pleaser, yes that might be an immature thing but most of us are immature, especially in the early years. It’s not until now recently that he has reached the point of emotional maturity to be able to accept that he’s fine the way he is and doesn’t need to act a certain way to please his fans.
@@CresCrystalWolf Early years? Isn’t he 31? If your not acting like an adult at that age then you probably won’t ever honestly. Also Idk how being a people pleaser affects that.
Agreed, because we tend to rationalize our own actions or thoughts; but if we hear them back, it kind of allows ourselves to look at it more objectively. It allows us to go "Oh, that thing I do is COMPLETELY self-sabotaging and I really need help on figuring out a way how to stop the habit". More than a few times I've had her repeat something I've said back to me and I've thought "Damn, that is messed up much more than I realized".
All this knowledge about Sanskrit and Buddha and all these terms - Dukha, Vidya, Nyan have originated from India. As an Indian watching this, i feel so proud that the knowledge of our motherland is helping people so much across the world! Thanks Jack for sharing this with us, means a lot. Take care
this is a very comfortable thing to watch, it’s nice to know even seán is willing to be open and talk about his own issues. it is a good way of reminding people he is just as human as everyone else. i’ll always have great respect for him because of this.
I know the feeling of being with a therapist and doing all these mental gymnastics and working out core root problems and answers of your own psyche and at the end of it just feeling completely drained of all energy. PS this was so interesting and I've always been interested in what's behind influencers minds and always hoped there would one day be this sort of in depth analysis of the psychology of an influencer. PSPS Sean is really brave to publicly analyse such a personal topic. Not just his fathers passing, but roots and causes of his own (for lack of a better fraise) 'Deep shit'.
I realised most of these comments is them talking about themselves and their experiences and I realised that people heard what you said but didn’t sit to process it. Sean, I hope you’re okay, I hope that you are at peace with where you are and you don’t feel any sort of emotional or mental pressure. I and lots of other people love what you do, you’re too sweet to everyone and I hate that you’ve had to go through such a hard part of your life with people who would disrespect you. You’re probably not gonna read it but I care for you and everyone who are in the comment section who have also went through such a hard life. I care for you people, I might not know you but I hope none of you are hurting
I am 20 years old and I’m almost done with my associates degree at my local college, and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. When Sean said, “you’re not gonna figure it out that quick,” it made me feel relieved!!! So thank you, Sean!!!
@@KitchenWitchery I appreciate comments like this so much. Just someone putting their experiences out there to ease someone else's worries. It really helps so thank you kind person on the internet :D 💕
I have lost both my parents. My dad almost 23 years ago and my mom 7 years ago, both unexpectedly. There are still days I think of the both and still cry. Time doesn’t heal the wounds but helps make them easier to deal with. Thanks for sharing. Stay positive and we love you Sean.
Thank you. I had a good childhood, not always the best of times, but I had two loving parents. I was definitely a daddy’s girl. Youngest of 6 girls and next to youngest of 9 kids. We didn’t always have everything we wanted but had everything we needed.
@@darthmaul2005 I was 33 when I lost my dad. I spent the last tens days he lived at the hospital at his bedside. My brother and I were there from the time he suddenly got sick till he passed. He only lived 10 days after they found the cancer. I miss him terribly but know he is no longer in pain. Thank you for caring. Cherish everyday you have with your family because you never know when will be the last time you will be able to tell them you love them.
It made me nauseous when I saw that people were making fun of his Dads passing. I cannot believe that there are people on this earth that could be so awful. It honestly makes me really sad. Neither Sean or his Dad deserve that❤️ (Sorry for my bad grammar)
I saw a dude making fun of a guy who commented "RIP Unus Annus😭😭😭" or something like that, and this ass said some shit like "yeah, no-one misses Jacks dad" and I just blew up at him. I feel bad that I said some some of the stuff to him, but I keep on saying to myself that he brought it upon himself, and if I hadn't said it, someone else would have done worse to him, but I still feel a little bad about it.😥
You're grammer is great, don't worry about it!❤ As for those who making fun his father's passing, fuck them. They will most likely accomplish nothing in life and in turn, they will have done nothing to influence the world in any way, shape, or form other than their own fucked up comments and seach history. They are an example of what we must hold ourselves above, even if it sounds a little overdramatic. Either way, sorry for the long speech, and have a good day!❤
I'm not sure what Jack's intentions were when he decided to put this out here, but I will say, it was oddly enjoyable? I like looking into the psychology behind things too, and it's also wild that a successful TH-camr feels/used to feel a lot of the same things I do, an undergrad trying to get my first real job. Feels like there's always someone smarter, more qualified, more outspoken, but no one has even told me that. It's just me thinking that. At any rate, I hope we get a part 2
I think the video is probably about the importance of getting therapy, talking about stuff and acknowledging that you have a right to own yourself as a person and to have feelings, and also just as a reminder that streamers are human
I feel like that too but if he's comfortable enough to upload this then we can fully watch it and support Séan because he's doing his best as most of us. 💚🌟
The sheer amount of comments just pouring themselves out makes this such a cozy and positive place. This video was really needed by some people, but still, the pinned comment speaks for itself.
With the “not needing as much support for loss right away, but more in the long term”: I know this might sound stupid, but I lost my two cats a few years ago. Really close together too. They were... really important to me. Not only because, as an autist, I connect with animals way more than most, but also because they were actually older than me and were always there from before I was even born. They raised me. They were like second parents to me. But I didn’t cry when any of my other family members died, and I didn’t cry when I held my cat’s quickly dying body in my arms, even while my human father sobbed beside me over the sudden loss of his best friend of 20+ years. But some time later my stepmom got a puppy, and one morning I came downstairs and she had left the bag of dog food where we used to keep the cat food. I could smell it instantly. It smelled the same as it used to. And I just... started crying. I couldn’t stop for a while. That was when I realized I actually missed them.
That's not stupid at all. If people say it's stupid, well, they don't get to decide which feelings are valid and which are not. Anyone who has ever had a strong connection and bond with an animal, we feel you and we know what you mean.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, because this right here feels so underrated and dumb to think about but it is so true and I never forgave myself for not "properly" grieving until I saw this comment, but there isn't a way to "properly" grieve and it is SO important that we normalize finding ways to help people grieve differently and that its ok for it to hit you later in life and to need help then not before because it wasn't until right now that with your story that I felt like that I wasn't the odd one out and that the way I handled that loss was "okay". I try not to put input on topics like these because it almost feels like the more it is said the less genuine it feels, but this is so important. I had a similar reaction to my cat passing away as well and I felt awful and almost like a sociopath that I wasn't upset when my mom came home sobbing and told me that they had to put her down during surgery because the cancer was too big to remove. The whole "your dog/cat" or "this is my dog/cat" thing when you have multiple pets and I kind of agree with now because she was MY cat, she felt like my cat, she always sat in my lap to play games with me, tucked me into bed at night and was the only cat to actually fall asleep with me, and she was the only one to come to me when I felt depressed because I don't open up to people very well, so it all felt "off" when I didn't have a reaction. Maybe it was because I knew she wasn't doing well and either outcome would make her feel better, death or success in surgery. It wasn't until a few months down the road that I can't even fully remember why it hit me then but I went downstairs and I was alone because my mom worked the graveyard shifts and I just started crying because my cat wasn't there anymore, she wasn't gonna come sit in my lap and be my buddy. The same exact thing also happened with my grandpa but I wrote it off as me not knowing him really well but one day I had to answer where his dog was and I started to say it was with him but I stopped and it hit me like "oh...right". Things. Just. Hit. Different. Stop normalizing when people grieve, how they grieve, and when its appropriate for them to go through acceptance because e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e is different from as small as the people in your family to as wide as everyone on the globe. Its honestly upsetting that people still - even through covid - act like work is the only thing that matters and that being overworked is just a sign that you're not doing enough or you're being lazy. WE NEED BREAKS - LET PEOPLE TAKE BREAKS LET THEM FEEL WHAT THEY NEED TO FEEL!
The self awareness Sean shows he has developed here is incredible. He should be so proud of how much he has grown as a person in a world that is so different to all of ours. Many of us struggle in our average lives, but to manage the "streamer life" and the juggling of identities is such a challenge that he has done so well to cope with for an extraordinary time. I hope he continues to realise that our opinions (even my own) don't matter, that he does belong and that his responses to situations are his own to control and noone else's. This is Sean's story and the more he focuses on his success and amazing journey and the less he compares to others, the stronger he's going to become. So happy to hear you have so much support from people in your personal life and I believe you've got what it takes to overcome these challenges
Yeah, the juggling of identities reminded me of Batman and how he would make it known that Bruce Wayne and Batman are not the same person. Definitely sounds like a difficult life balance. Actors/actresses probably deal with the same stuff. Sean seems to be a good cookie and I'm happy he found a place where he belongs. I'm also happy to say that I know that feeling! I went to my first comic convention and found myself surrounded by awkward/nerdy people like me who love to create and also appreciate what others make. My brain was thinking "I'm home!" It was a life-changing experience! I hope you'll find where you belong, if you haven't already. Anyway, you got this and Sean's got this!! 🙂
i'm subscribed to jack since he was just starting his career and living in a wooden house and never once i saw negativity or toxicity in him, he is legit one of the most genuine person out there.
@@steven3335 well it makes sense to be fair since this felt more like an assessment than an actually therapy session. I was quite intrigued though by his dialectal approach and how he injected Buddhist terms into it.
Sean, you are a fucking G. Big props to you for just being you. We need more like you and JJ and others to just be real and true to themselves and everyone else.
I love the intention, but the whole "be real and true to themselves" is kind of what this whole interview was about, like what the heck is the self, who knows?
To everyone scrolling that needs it. Success in your eyes does not have to be the same as anyone else's if you ever feel like you can't get a word in edgewise or your voice isn't heard just remember the only expectations that crush you are your own and start from there you have control over your brain and you get to decide how it responds to the world around you so take a step back take a deep breath because no one can do it for you
"Sounds like you learned how to be a character at quite a young age." 'I guess so, yeah' "And that you had to be a character to be noticed" 'Oh' I just want a compilation of Dr. K cracking people's whole fuckin worlds open
Why do people think it’s okay to treat people online who have a following like an object just stop! He’s human just like us and don’t you dare say well it’s his job it’s not his job to put up with your abuse or any influencer for that. Just be mindful
jack: I wanna take time off also jack: *uploads his therapy session for us to know what's happening* he cares so much about us and doesn't want us to worry
As someone with mental illness I am so supremely happy Jack posted this But also as someone with mental illness as I watched I started getting anxiety because it felt so personal diving into his mind and I felt like I was eavesdropping on a very private conversation I appreciate how open you are with mental journey and help with normalizing getting help for your own mental health. I wish you all the healing and happiness in the world💕 Thank you for being genuine and helping us all to feel more comfortable with ourselves
this is annoying me like heck. think about this, jack use to read a lot of peoples comments a long time, make videos on them to entertain us and also read a lot of hate. we dont know how he felt behind the camera. he use to upload EVERY day and sometimes it was 2 or 3 times a day for a few years. he grinded to make us/his virtual family happy. he talks to people in the comments are makes us laugh a lot. he mentioned multiple times he played games he doesnt like JUST FOR US! he took time from his life to make us happy. remember that video of the girl crying in the audience and jack hugged her? hes a saint and the people talking about his father in a negative way is out of line. jack needed a break and he still may need one. jack has done so much more that 90% of youtubers. respect him like he does us. he has grown from a unknown youtuber to a "famous" (he doesnt like that way to describe him) youtuber with our help and love. everyone gets hate but i have no understanding as to why he got that type of hate. love from q to jack ❤❤❤
This is my thoughts exactly as well... (but you describe them 10 times better than I could ) I really hope this makes an impact on the subscribers, trolls and the horrible persons that made fun about his dads death... it's disgusting.. Stay strong and healthy Jack! / Love from Sweden
I feel guilty now always calling him Jacksepticeye. I got so used to it that Sean and Jacksepticeye have the same weight, and I feel bad for that after listening to this
I call him jacksepticeye because it feels weird calling him Sean, I don't know him so I feel like I can't call him Sean, and I feel like using his online name should be used for online, and his real name should be used in real life, like for normal conversations between him and his friends or family or just whoever, I'm not going to stop calling him jack though
Dr. K mentioning that he would have liked more support throughout that decade after losing his father hit home with me. Lost my father when I was 9. Now at 25 I find myself on the most random of days wishing I had a father to talk to about anything. What kills me are all the unanswered questions I have that only a father could give his son. I dealt with his death at 9 not really knowing what the hell was going on and eventually the pain got easier. After high school and college is when it picked up again. Long story short the grief I dealt with at 9 is very different than the grief I feel today. Loss is a very strange yet consistent thing in our lives. Don't know why I shared this, I just felt compelled to start typing. Much love to all those out there dealing with the loss of someone.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Grief is never something to be ashamed of. I find myself grieving my grandparents now so much more than I did as a child, because I understand now what exactly I lost. There is no time limit on grief.
just like maya (our old dog) she died when i was 7 i was too little understand but i knew id never see her again, Maya was my only friend at the time other than my best friend Emmy. Who i've lost contact with and it breaks my heart thinking about it her. But all i can think is that Maya is in a better place, and Emmy is probably better without me.
It is good that you did this Jack. sometimes you just need someone to talk to, you did the right thing. I never got help now my life is never the same. Death is a horrible thing, but it all come eventually. hold on to the pain, keep your emotions, and live your own life. Don't lose yourself like me, I cant express emotions anymore but you still can. Stay strong and do what you want. We are here for you.
@@thelaviathencrusader3092 please do get help, i don’t know how old you are but my mother had never addressed her trauma when she was young and that being a problem soon turned into a problem physically
The part in the end where you talked about the feeling of everybody being better than you in college etc really resonated with me, I am close to finishing my studies and will be applying for jobs soon. And I really gotta deal with that feeling of not really deserving the job because I am kind of an "Imposter" and not really good at what I do.
You don't need a therapist. Everybody has a friend or two in their group that has a therapists ability. In fact you've probably discussed other people's problems together during 'gossip' sessions, and it may even be you! It's often glaringly obvious to these people what others are struggling with in life, how and why they got themselves in these situations and what they should do to fix it. However, they're hesitant to point this out to the person in case it causes conflict, or the realisation may be traumatic for them. The reason a therapist has these 'break throughs' with people is because they don't have that filter in the way. Find your 'no filter' friend, or the 'disgruntled one' that is often 'sick of the drama'. Ask them for advice, and think hard about their response.
@@AJ-oj5eu i dont think you know how a therapist works. you see a therapist isnt always just 'someone to talk to', theyre someone who has professional knowledge on issues you may be dealing with and in that way they tend to understand people better. they dont work for everyone, of course, but for many they do work since they create both a welcoming environment and you know that they can understand what you're going through, whereas friends wont always have that knowledge or experience to make you feel understood.
@@AJ-oj5eu The dangers about being the “therapist friend” (speaking as someone who had that role) is that it’s very easy to put everyone before yourself, to the point that it’s harmful. I got told for years that I had to stop putting others well-being before my own yet couldn’t because I was so emotionally invested, to a point where I basically put my own life on hold because it wasn’t as important. I felt that I had to be available to my friends 24/7, while struggling myself, and if something where to happen (them harming themselves etc) and I hadn’t been available for them that would be my fault (an extremely unhealthy look on friendship that I struggled with for years). A therapist doesn’t have that emotional investment and knows how to leave the problems at work, so to speak (they’re supposed to, at least). If the “therapist friend” struggles with boundaries it can go very bad pretty fast. Of course you can talk to your friends about your problems/struggles and support each other but at the same time you have to be aware of the pressure that can put on your friends, and the same goes for them. Sometimes you need help from someone who has experience and knowledge about how to handle things, healthy coping mechanisms and such.
...wh- why did people see him as a character in the first place?? I've always been talking about him like a person, like a content creator- not a character.. what the fuck
People see content creators as characters. When you see him as someone other than just a person with a different type of job then you create a character of him.
Let’s go ahead and appreciate Sean posting this, this is why he’s my favorite TH-camr. The courage it takes to post these kind of videos and share your deep feelings with millions of people is immaculate. But we appreciate it a lot as someone with a huge voice on such a big platform people need to know that you have common world problems just like us.
Just a friendly note that implying that he is your favorite youtuber because of his courage to post something so deep could be a bit dangerous. I just mean don't set a precedent where we expect Sean to divulge all this personal stuff regularly.

this is why para-social relationships and stan culture is a terrible thing. Because those things, in their very essence, dictate the complete opposite, for a selfish delusion. It's fine being a fan of something, but being so zealous that you cant handle them moving on with their life, because you've dedicated your personality to being their fan is dangerous.
I actually really love that jack allowed himself to be recorded and share his personal memories and insecurities for us to see because I really resonated which a lot of the things he’s felt. It was very comforting and I really appreciate it ❤️
The world needs more genuine stuff like this on social media. Alot of us feel this way, but not many who are emotionally strong enough to upload or share this with the world. Much Respect.
I'm glad seán is taking his mental health seriously, and even though he didn't need to share his personal life with us, we appreciate it and will always be here to support you!
I love how Jack's Community put effort into commenting long messages for him. I love this community and I hope Jack's see those letters to show Jack how much we love him
one of the reasons i enjoy his channel and content, and letsplays even over others is that in games, especially those that deal with multiple endings, he has a level of empathy that cannot be matched; its who he is as a person that makes the games he plays so much more fun because of his reactions and responses. he's always searching for the symbolism and a deeper meaning and i genuinely enjoy someone who does that because they want to, not because they feel they have to, and i love how much he always makes me think and challenges my perspective. i remember especially when detroit become human came out, i watched like 4 different people play the first hour, but sean's is ultimately what i decided on watching and finishing the rest of because his empathy led him to make decisions similar to what i wouldve picked if i had the chance to play the game. and im glad i did because he really fell in love with that game and had a lot of fun with the memes, actually meeting connor, etc. i hope he comes across this message. i have always felt this way and was ignorant enough to think it was obvious and needed not to be said. but really, much as i love jack and his brand, i stay and return for sean and who he is as a person.
Seán, I wanted to tell you that I will never abandon you. You could stop posting content for years at a time, and I will always come back to watch you when you post again. You mean so much to me, you make me laugh when the depression feels like it's crushing me, and I will never give up on you. No matter what you do with the rest of your life, whether it is more TH-cam, something else, or quitting the public eye altogether, you will always have a place in my heart, and I will _always_ come back for you.
Try to chill a bit on the positivity. Because that whole "never abandon you" thing sounds kinda toxic to me. Let life lead you where it takes you, but remember the good times when it does lead you in an unexpected direction.
I really relate to a lot of what Jack is saying in this. It makes me wonder if he's an enneagram type 9 like I am. When he talks about always wanting to please everyone and make sure that everyone else is okay and at peace, it really sounds like he might be.
"you had to be a character to be noticed" jack : ooooh sheeet haha having your eyes opened. scary, thrilling, enlightening. thanks for posting this Jack. for so many reasons.
Just hearing someone else open up and talk about his mental health and his experiences with his job both makes me feel more confident about talking about my issues and also solidifying my decision to go into psychology for a Bachelors Degree...it’s easy to forget that people that are in the spotlight are still people, and it’s so interesting listening to their perspective, because it’s quite rare. It’s one of the things that makes me want to go into psychotherapy as a job, and help people deal with their issues in a healthy way. As someone who’s had a lot of mental problems, I just feel far better hearing people talk about themselves struggling with similar things because it makes me feel less broken and more human. I have never been allowed to go to therapy either, even when I asked my parents to take me, so listening to how other people deal with their issues helps me cope with my own. I just want to say that I appreciate the people that speak out about how they feel, however hard it may be, because it does have a knock on effect to people like me. I also appreciate everyone who actually read my maniac ramblings without wanting to throw me off a roof😂
Even if you skip through everything Jack and Dr. K have the same expression in the same position but when you actually listen to what they're saying you realize how much more Sean opened up to him. It's bittersweet.
I never realized how much we have in common. I am the youngest of 8. My parents were 30 & 43 when I was born. My father passed NYE 2020. He would've been 85 this March 28th. I related to 90% of what you were talking about. I really needed to hear all his questions right now. This seriously hit home. Thank you!
I’m so glad Seán was able to open up to a therapist and talk about things that probably were for a while bottled up, but it’s also kinda sad to see it publicized. I just hope Seán feels better because at the end of the day he’s human.
Very relatable. Asking and elaborating on existentialism. Think high school sucks? Early 20’s suck just as much for much different reasons. One of which, being the existential question of what am I doing with my life.
Honestly, my school years felt like Hell. I dealt with bullying and social awkwardness during middle school and a lack of purpose during high school. I either hated or don't associate often with my classmates and I never could muster up the desire to study at all, even though I hated having poor grades. But after they ended, I just felt... empty. I thought I would be elated with finally being out of high school, but I found that I've spent so much time focusing on why school is terrible that I never considered what comes next. I'll be turning 20 this year and I feel like the existential dread is starting to set in.
@@0riginal_zer030 damn dude, I feel ya there. As soon as I turned 18 I went into community college (I was the youngest in my HS class). And I’ve been in college since. Just transferred to a uni to focus on a major and it’s just nonstop going. I know I have a year and 2 months before I’m done done. Still though, it’s tiring. I also relate to disassociating with classmates... I only had a couple friends in HS. Which I made the mistake of dating one, which then made the breakup not my friend (we reconnected at community college and are good friends again after squaring things away). However, I’ve made no friends during my time at community college or this new university. In some regards, I don’t even know if I want these people to be my friends at times, they are just so annoying. It’s very lonely, not having anyone to turn to at this new city school. This uni is a private one for richer kids, and well, I’m not rich lol. If not for my mom and dad helping by putting money aside when I was younger, I wouldn’t be able to continue my tuition. I’m sure your situation will be different, however. You will more than likely be able to find like-minded people in college depending on your area of study, especially when Covid lets up.
@@GhostStealth590 Between misanthropy and just general lack of motivation, making friends is a bit challenging for me, so I'm not too optimistic about my social life improving in college. But experience has taught me that a good friend can be found in anyone who's not a psychopath. I'm sure I can at least learn to socialise in college. Especially since unlike high school, behaving like monkeys is heavily discouraged in college. On an unrelated note, is it strange that I am much closer to three pen pals from a different continent than I am with my own parents? Because even I'm starting to feel a bit concerned about how little I actually know about my own family.
At the end of the day. You deserve happiness Sean. No matter what anybody else thinks. You are the one that matters. And I'd give that advice to anybody who I cared about.
I'm currently a student in psychology and have always been interested in exploring Buddhism. I've tampered with the idea of integrating it into study. I want to thank you and Dr. K. I've been trying to pay attention to energies directing me, so thank you for being the link. ❤

Sean, I clicked on this video thinking "oh sure, I'll throw on this longer video so I can work and have a creator I look up to play in the background," but I've gotten nothing done, and instead I'm sitting here pretending I don't have a lump in my throat. Since my TH-cam has "taken off" I've been having so much trouble keeping up. I can feel so many parallels between my timeline and yours, especially mentally. It is so goddamn encouraging to hear you talk about your emotional struggle with the attention that comes with a larger audience. You obviously have a much larger audience, and deal/have dealt with the things that I am to a much larger degree, but this has been helpful to me. This comment will no doubt get lost in the thousands of positive comments, but even reaching out to you to tell you this helps me feel less isolated in what I'm doing. Thanks, man.
You're doing incredible. I hope you find a way to manage these things a little better for your own sanity. But also remember that just because his audience is bigger than yours, it doesn't invalidate your own feelings and perspective on things, especially if there are parallels. Figure things out at your own pace, do what you need to do, and make it work for you however you can. ♥
i’m rooting for you man
Omg, it's so cool to see you here! I just wanna tell you, and this may sound cliché, but if you ever feel the need to take some time off for whatever reason please do. Your content is amazing and informative, but you're more important. Especially seeing as you put so much effort into all of your videos, it must take WEEKS to make anything, and you have to witness some pretty horrible people to do so. (sorry if that sounded preachy, i really do care about your health even though I don't know you).
Jack saying that he is taking break from YT while his father passed away. I think he is just using the tragedy for the fame because he seems to be constantly posting about it?
'me, me, me.'
It's sad how Jack has to always be like "this is why I'm taking a break" losing someone so close such as a parent is going to hit you hard and because Jack is popular he has to tell people every little thing because he doesn't want people digging into stuff they shouldn't be in. I don't want to sound like every person ever but, do whatever you need to Jack because you are a human and humans can have emotion. I love you Jack
Jack is a popular youtube star, and there will always be people obsessed with digging to find personal information and issues. Jack probably understands that he chose this career path that will give him problems and that is what makes being popular not as good as it looks and it's almost impossible to fix that so the best thing to do is just ignoring people that are digging information about him
@@mariozarka4177 I agree with ya
Amen
i agree with this very much. i would be confused without an explanation, but if i learned what happened i would wait and not dig into anything cause it isn’t my business
Your right I’m tired of people, whenever a TH-camr leaves without explaining they always come up with these crazy ass videos that portray that TH-camr in a bad way just so they can get views and money
Every part about his insecurities and being the youngest kid, not getting your word in and all of the things about loving yourself and realizing that you ARE good enough. You’re not just a smaller version of someone else, you’re your own person. That stuff hit HARD
This hit really hard and especially for someone like jack it shouldnt be a thing. He is such a strong character and such a strong person too like he is sounding here and he and we all have to understand that we are our own person
For sure. I literally just had a conversation with someone about this exact matter and seeing this video made me cry all over again. It's just good to know that people other than myself have experienced these issues and have found ways to overcome them. I needed this video and its timing could not have been more impeccable.... I appreciate Jack posting this and I hope he's doing well.
wait time stamp :(?
Its all our attachment relationships in childhood especially the first 5 years it always started in childhood. Its not just like learning and evrything our understanding of ourselves but mainly it effects our neural networks it can change but i feel everyone interacting with children especially parents (being the main attachment relationship) need to have some understanding of the impact of thier words and responses and approach to children. Kids just need us to be there and accept them for who they are and teach them to be in the ws orld and not push down (depress) their real thoughts and feelings abs punish them for it instead just be there with them whilst they figure it out and not impose our mess on them. I understand now that my anger issues mainly come from not being allowed to Express myself as a child abs not knowing how to deal with the intense emotions also punishments for actions made me self centred in processing thr world (ie. How will this effect me will i be caught or punished) ai can go ooonnnnn on on
Ditto. Except for the youngest part(though I might as well been) I seriously feel that

This is so healthy, pure, and needed. There are so many people, especially men, that do not seek any sort of help for many things, and especially mental health. So excited to see you normalizing this practice, in a very public way, which was likely very difficult. Love you dude, keep on being you.
Sometimes it usuals to be a guy emotionally because everyone expects you to be a tough guy like the player from DOOM and it’s hard to not get made fun of
Couldn't have said it better!
Edit: you rock!!!
Yeah I plan to open up my own TH-cam Channel some day and if I ever need something like this to like sit down with. I know this is an option to try to reach out to, and also from watching this video, know what to look out for and try and avoid like the point about not knowing who I am outside of TH-cam and taking critisicm as an adult due to the opposite of what people who actually care for my progress think about me. I am interested in psychology as well and I have tried helping some of my friends in any way that I could and this is just amazing to watch.
as an insult* not as an adult smh
I really need to see a therapist. This shit was hitting so close, I started crying. And a lot of what Jack said about self actualization really spoke to me, it makes me want to help myself in the way I deserve.
Yesss go for it! I didn't cry and yet I wanted to help myself so bad. I felt lost more like- like where do I start? And then overwhelmed haha

"sounds like you learned to be a character at quite a young age, and that you had to be a character to be noticed" FUCK you bet i cried man. i am so grateful that you both did this. i really do hope that you are doing okay. what you have gone through and are currently go through is shaping you to be the self realizing person you are. and it's beautiful to see.
If someone has been anxious about therapy, maybe worrying about what it’s like and hesitating to get a therapist, I hope that this made it a little easier and took away some of that fear.
This definitely made me want to go back to therapy with someone new after over a year away from it. I hope it helps others feel the same
I've had bad therapy experiences, this encouraged me to try again. I'd love someone to unpack my life and try put the pieces together with me
@Boga Destroyer how
I really wanna go, but my anxiety makes making an appointment damn near impossible
I've had amazing and terrible therapists for me. It's important to find someone that works with and for you. Someone who you have great rapport with and who seems to sincerely and genuinely HEAR you.
Honestly if he decided to ever take a year long break, I wouldn’t even be mad. He deserves time to himself. TH-cam is stressful, there’s trolls who can honestly get to you sometimes. I’m so happy he decided to take the time and open up.

I love how Dr. K is opening with a “stranger.” I’ve had therapists try to open up conversations I’m not ready to have. Then I feel forced into it. I left those therapist.
Hope you found a better therapist
It takes time to find a therapist that matches with what you need. Whenever a therapist asked me "What do you expect from this therapy?" I already had a foot out the door (metaphorically speaking). Or when they ask questions you genuinely don't know the answer to but they make you sit for 10 minutes crying in silence as if the answer will magically pop up in your head. It never did for me. At least those are things I personally can't stand at all so I left.
I hope you found a therapist you feel comfortable with. Someone I know went to like 4 different therapists and is still struggling to find a new one. It can be exhausting.

I recently lost my 98yo grandma and while it wasn’t unexpected, it still fckn hit hard 🥺 I take forever to grieve for my family, I’m still not “over” my grandpa’s death in February 1992 , and that’s ok too
I feel your pain and I’m sorry for our loss. I lost my Dad and Grandma in the year in 2015. You never truly “get over” their passing, however as long as you find the strength to keep moving forward then you’ll make them happy and you will become stronger.
My grandma had also just passed last week.
I don’t exactly know how it must feel to lose a loved one but I have an idea of how much it would F’ing suck to lose them. I am very sorry for your loss😢
Grief is a very personal thing, which cannot be compared between different people. No matter how long or how deeply you grief, it is always ok.
It's okay to take all the time you need indeed
The fact that the comments on here are all way longer than the normally upvoted instant punchline sort of youtube jokes is so cool. It's just everyone sharing their own experiences and relating to eachother's (and Jack's) positions and problems. I think it's awesome!
Me too! I've always enjoyed reading more reflective and more well thought out comments than the instant punchline ones. Not that there's anything wrong with the punchline ones, but it gets a bit repetitive after a while.
Pssst, love ur pfp bro. Kaze no Stigma is in my top 5 fav anime’s

do you mean "not just AS an entertainer" or do you mean "we like you as a person but not as an entertainer" ? I'm sorry for asking just a little bit confused.

I’ve always been scared to go see a therapist for how people would judge me or how they would see me but seeing this really helps me to feel okay with talking to someone about my own personal issues without being judged for them. Thank you Sean, Seriously Thank you
Hell yeah ! I hope you go to therapy when you’re ready, I know it may be hard but I hope you find the strength to take that leap of faith. Much love.
It's the therapist's job to never judge you. If that is any help, you can think to yourself that you will probably never be the "worst" or "weirdest" patient they've seen. And even if that's the case they will not judge you for it but instead try their hardest to help you.
This is such a refreshing piece of content. To see someone who is highly valued and has a lot of expectations held against them talk about how draining it can be is fascinating to me. It really brings back the point that all creators are still humans. Who, behind the scenes, have had to fight for their place at the table or fight to get their point across and have their voice heard. For all we appreciate Sean and how hard he works, a lot of people need to remember that he is only 1 person who is grieving the death of his father, and working through a lot of emotional pain during the last few years. The self growth and reflection that consistently happened during this exchange was fantastic. So much love & support to Jack as always.
"It became a writing essay to say who can give the best condolences."
It is so sad that being as famous as you are, it attracts fake friends that only drop their act when you actually need them. We need to do better.
@Ì Ãm ĶèvıñBB4 JUST STOP DAMMIT.
that's why i tend to avoid those types of Vids, all those sappy *_fake_* "oh i'm sorry for your loss" bullshit comments, here i am, actually on the wage of tearing up if i see those vids,
Yea, when i see the “you got this jack” and “sorry for your loss jack” i want to believe they are serious, but like he said, its like a writing essay for the best condolence
but sometimes people really mean it. but i agree that some people are just saying it just to be noticed
@@zoe1755 unfortunately, as a content creator, what he's talking about are fellow content creators who use him for clout. :( I think the majority of regular people are kind-hearted tho.
whenever i hear or see “jacksepticeye” i think of sean. i don’t think of a character. i think of this person that brings me and millions of others joy. we love you sean. take the time you need, we’ll be here when you want to be here. ❤️
I can't tell if I think of Jack, or Sean. I think I think of his personality, and his humour, and I can't tell if that's Jack or Sean.
I was just about to write this exact thing, well said
Same! I actually started watching his channel daily once he sorta stripped back the Jackscepticeye character a bit and became a bit more genuine. Always loved the guy! But it was easier to see he was really there and really enjoying his life and his content.
I think of three things, “speeed is keeey” “ mooooom” and “garage” but garage the way he says it
I think of jack cuase I never met him in my life

"What are you feeling right now?"
"Good"
Literally goosebumps and tears in my eyes 🥺
Let’s stop holding celebs and youtubers to such high standards of what we want them to be and just appreciate them for who they are. If we see them on the street, just say hello! and that’s it. Let’s not rush them or not allow them to live how they want to. It’s toxic. Try to think of it in a way as if you’re in a relationship with someone. Would you date them for who they are and then expect them to be completely different to uphold how you want them to be? Then you’re not with them for who they are anymore. More like a doll for you to control and morph. Don’t like that thought? Don’t do it to celebs then! It’s along the same lines. Like obviously support them with everything they do, but don’t change them.
yess the truth girl!!!
Fr, they're just human like us fans
i just died
wait im alive
Exactly, don't push expectations on people you don't know, especially if you don't hold yourself to the same standards
True but some of them do crave the attention then b*tch when they get it it's a ruthless cycle.
Not so with Jack but I could name a few but to each their own 🤷♀️
I think we each need to realize we're all human beings,we all have issues no matter what profession you're in
Being a celeb,a popular youtuber,singer etc doesn't make them better or worse than others it also doesn't cancel out their own illnesses mental or otherwise.
I think some people view them as somewhat bulletproof for lack of a better word because of the persona they carry which obviously isn't the case.
I'm honestly genuinely disgusted that people would even make fun of anyone's death, let alone an influencer's. I said this when Sean first mentioned this too but people are just so unempathetic and narrow minded that it saddens me. I'm just glad Sean is getting the help he needs, and it's smth I need to do too which is inspiring in it's own way. I'm thankful for Sean for posting this super private session, I hope people aren't stupid enough to say he's doing this for pity.
only person i would make fun of who died is someone who was extremely shitty towards other people.
It made me nauseous when I saw that people were doing it. I cannot believe that there are people on this earth that could be so awful. It honestly makes me really sad. Neither Sean or his Dad deserve that. (Sorry for my bad grammar)

Whenever I talk about stuff I struggle with people always say “you’re not alone” but what they say doesn’t ever feel true until you hear someone else talking about the same problems with words you’ve been thinking for so long, thank you Jack
Or when they give you language to describe your experience, or when they use different words to you but you realise it means the same thing.
27:50 “I’m gonna ask you like personal questions about feelings and shit like that.”
I just love the way he said it, lol. It’s refreshing to hear professionals who talk like us. I really think having younger experts is beneficial in reaching out.
I remember I was talking to my therapist and I got so into the story I was telling, and I started to get kinda mad at recalling the events, and I nearly slipped up and said a bunch of really nasty statements, and the therapist was like "Don't be scared to say things, if you cuss or anything like that I'm not gonna fuss at you for it" and I was honestly surprised. Later on, I don't remember if it was that session or the next or so, she started kinda cussing, more slip ups than anything and it wasn't crazy, kinda like how they were talking to each other in the video. I just thought it was really cool that she didn't see it as this hush-hush thing, she didn't seem to think that I shouldn't do it and shouldn't be exposed to it at all, and she didn't really seem to think it was unprofessional to just say ultimately meaningless words a few times.
Didn't mean to type so much, I tend to go on. I'm basically just agreeing with you, it's so cool to see a professional figure act and think and talk like you. There's a few instances with the same therapist that I didn't like, and a few that I really did like like what I just said (idk if it makes sense in the way I worded it)
Jack thinks we will abandon him if he leaves for too long. I’m here to say, on behalf of (hopefully) everyone who watches your videos, that we enjoy your content. You know that, of course, being this popular. But what I don’t think you understand is that we enjoy it enough to stay with you and the channel, but not so much that a small break displeases us. If you need free time, if you need a break, just do it. We’ll be here. You don’t need such a horrible thing like a close family member passing away to deserve a break. But one thing, if I may ask... Don’t leave forever.
I second that, Tammy. Jack can take all the time he need, I am not going anywhere.
Definitely, everyone needs their own space and even if he left for half a year I'd happily give him that time off and would await his return peacefully
I'd go further than that and say than even if he wants to leave for good for whatever reason, then godspeed to him. Jack doesn't owe anything to the universe and we should be grateful for every single video he's ever put out. Nothing lasts forever, and we should not take his content, his motivation or his interest for granted. If he ever feels like stopping his youtube career and trying out something else in everything that life has to offer, then I sure wish he follows his dreams rather than stay because some of us would hate to not get new videos from him.
At the end of the day, we're all the main character in our own story. The one person whose opinion matters the most in Jack's life is Jack himself. Or rather, Seán himself. So I hope he always chooses to do whatever is best for himself, first and foremost.
Yeah honestly I wouldnt mind even if he took more and longer breaks. I follow plenty of youtubers who only upload every other week or month. Heck one of my fav youtubers is making a podcast that has, as of now, only 19 episodes and it started back in 2015.
27 years could have pasted and pennywise would have showed up and I’d still be here supporting jack
Jesus Christ. Sean is essentially my model for self improvement and this video was a fucking gift. Thank you so much
When Jack was talking about pleasing people he's entire life and not pleasing himself and focusing on what he needs that's when I was thinking how much I can relate. He's so brave to open up about what he's been feeling and I hope this helps him. Stay strong Jack 💪🏻
I've been waiting LITERAL AGES!!! For someone to tell Jack to stop devaluating his own words!!!! That the things he puts out there are more than enough and he shouldn't doubt his own skills in getting the message across!!!! He's been doing that since as long as I can remember and im glad that someone finally made him be more aware of it.
I wish you all the best Seán, Love you!!!💞💖💘
We need more people being so open about getting help. Watching this humanises streamers, celebrities etc and that's important so we can see that they go through all the daily crap that we do and they need time to heal just like us. His family and friends must be very proud of the man he is x

@Raquel De Abreu 2026 I'm not saying they're not but Jack has literally said throughout that video that the healing period has been more difficult because of the way fans/the public have acted. So clearly some people do have an issue with seeing these people as humans
@Raquel De Abreu 2026 calling me rude and going on the defensive is exactly what's wrong with the way people act on the internet. I'm also not saying they need to put their private lives out there for us to see like this and unless they do then they're not human. You're literally putting words in my mouth that I didn't say or insinuate so please don't do that. Were all happy for Jack and the continued openess and acceptance of mental health so let's not come for eachother in the comment section
I appreciate that he is so open with his mental journey and normalizes these kinds of conversations. Thank you Sean.
I was genuinely disgusted with all of the negative comments about Seán's father and his schedule. I was very disappointed with the negative perception of the time that he took off, but some of it was restored with the positive 'feedback' that was given.

i think people are taking too much offense from the dibshits doing that. just ignore them and leave that hot mess before things get worse. but you yell back at them, and that makes them do it more. telling them to "fuck off" will make them do it more. so stop talking about it and support sean.
@@polarizing its a bot
The way he talks so freely and openly, makes me respect him even more.
I ate up every word of this because not being heard is something I’m currently battling. Thank you Jack for being here and sharing journeys like this. I don’t know if I’d be as self reflective as I am if I hadn’t found your channel and I am always reaping the rewards of being taught that. I’m someone who, since the first day, has been watching for you and only you. It’s the reason I’ve been watching for the last 8 years and counting. No matter the subject, I watch because of you. I will absolutely build your ego and say that seeing someone so genuine and someone who is here to just do what they love cause they truly want to is the cornerstone of why I always keep coming back. Thank you. You inspire me everyday. I appreciate you.
What a lovely surprise! Thank you for 300 likes! This community is amazing and im always glad to be apart of it! 😄
Been watching for 6, and I watch others such as MatPat and other newer and staple creators, but I’ve been with Sean (with an accent) and Jack the whole way. He’s the reason I listen to metal, and helping me reflect on the rut I’m in. Sorry for the essay, just felt it was right to let someone know.
To our Gealic Gladiator! 🍻
I feel pity for him tbh. He’s quite immature but is really desperate to act like he isn’t and prove his intelligence I’ve noticed. It doesn’t really work well that he acts dumb in his videos but then try’s explaining something in detail five seconds later. It’s made me kind of go off his vids. And he always makes his mic audio way louder then the game and talks loud anyway making it worse.
@@arryn786 He said himself that he has always had the problem of being a people pleaser, yes that might be an immature thing but most of us are immature, especially in the early years. It’s not until now recently that he has reached the point of emotional maturity to be able to accept that he’s fine the way he is and doesn’t need to act a certain way to please his fans.
@@CresCrystalWolf Early years? Isn’t he 31? If your not acting like an adult at that age then you probably won’t ever honestly. Also Idk how being a people pleaser affects that.
This reminds me of how great my last therapist was. Having someone not only analyze but repeat to you what you're really saying. It's so clarifying
Agreed, because we tend to rationalize our own actions or thoughts; but if we hear them back, it kind of allows ourselves to look at it more objectively. It allows us to go "Oh, that thing I do is COMPLETELY self-sabotaging and I really need help on figuring out a way how to stop the habit". More than a few times I've had her repeat something I've said back to me and I've thought "Damn, that is messed up much more than I realized".
just started the vid and im very worried about the fact that every comment is a whole paragraph
Its more of a good thing! People r sorta opening up in those paragraphs tbf
@@jackhession5730 oh i completely agree
All this knowledge about Sanskrit and Buddha and all these terms - Dukha, Vidya, Nyan have originated from India. As an Indian watching this, i feel so proud that the knowledge of our motherland is helping people so much across the world! Thanks Jack for sharing this with us, means a lot. Take care
this is a very comfortable thing to watch, it’s nice to know even seán is willing to be open and talk about his own issues. it is a good way of reminding people he is just as human as everyone else. i’ll always have great respect for him because of this.
I know the feeling of being with a therapist and doing all these mental gymnastics and working out core root problems and answers of your own psyche and at the end of it just feeling completely drained of all energy. PS this was so interesting and I've always been interested in what's behind influencers minds and always hoped there would one day be this sort of in depth analysis of the psychology of an influencer. PSPS Sean is really brave to publicly analyse such a personal topic. Not just his fathers passing, but roots and causes of his own (for lack of a better fraise) 'Deep shit'.
I realised most of these comments is them talking about themselves and their experiences and I realised that people heard what you said but didn’t sit to process it. Sean, I hope you’re okay, I hope that you are at peace with where you are and you don’t feel any sort of emotional or mental pressure. I and lots of other people love what you do, you’re too sweet to everyone and I hate that you’ve had to go through such a hard part of your life with people who would disrespect you. You’re probably not gonna read it but I care for you and everyone who are in the comment section who have also went through such a hard life.

It made me nauseous when I saw that people were making fun of his Dads passing. I cannot believe that there are people on this earth that could be so awful. It honestly makes me really sad. Neither Sean or his Dad deserve that❤️ (Sorry for my bad grammar)
Your grammar is fine. Is English your second language?
I saw a dude making fun of a guy who commented "RIP Unus Annus😭😭😭" or something like that, and this ass said some shit like "yeah, no-one misses Jacks dad" and I just blew up at him. I feel bad that I said some some of the stuff to him, but I keep on saying to myself that he brought it upon himself, and if I hadn't said it, someone else would have done worse to him, but I still feel a little bad about it.😥

@@greenerin5062 no I’m just bad at it 😆
I'm not sure what Jack's intentions were when he decided to put this out here, but I will say, it was oddly enjoyable? I like looking into the psychology behind things too, and it's also wild that a successful TH-camr feels/used to feel a lot of the same things I do, an undergrad trying to get my first real job. Feels like there's always someone smarter, more qualified, more outspoken, but no one has even told me that. It's just me thinking that. At any rate, I hope we get a part 2
I think the video is probably about the importance of getting therapy, talking about stuff and acknowledging that you have a right to own yourself as a person and to have feelings, and also just as a reminder that streamers are human

With the “not needing as much support for loss right away, but more in the long term”:
I know this might sound stupid, but I lost my two cats a few years ago. Really close together too. They were... really important to me. Not only because, as an autist, I connect with animals way more than most, but also because they were actually older than me and were always there from before I was even born. They raised me. They were like second parents to me.
But I didn’t cry when any of my other family members died, and I didn’t cry when I held my cat’s quickly dying body in my arms, even while my human father sobbed beside me over the sudden loss of his best friend of 20+ years.
But some time later my stepmom got a puppy, and one morning I came downstairs and she had left the bag of dog food where we used to keep the cat food. I could smell it instantly. It smelled the same as it used to. And I just... started crying. I couldn’t stop for a while. That was when I realized I actually missed them.
That's not stupid at all. If people say it's stupid, well, they don't get to decide which feelings are valid and which are not. Anyone who has ever had a strong connection and bond with an animal, we feel you and we know what you mean.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, because this right here feels so underrated and dumb to think about but it is so true and I never forgave myself for not "properly" grieving until I saw this comment, but there isn't a way to "properly" grieve and it is SO important that we normalize finding ways to help people grieve differently and that its ok for it to hit you later in life and to need help then not before because it wasn't until right now that with your story that I felt like that I wasn't the odd one out and that the way I handled that loss was "okay". I try not to put input on topics like these because it almost feels like the more it is said the less genuine it feels, but this is so important.
I had a similar reaction to my cat passing away as well and I felt awful and almost like a sociopath that I wasn't upset when my mom came home sobbing and told me that they had to put her down during surgery because the cancer was too big to remove. The whole "your dog/cat" or "this is my dog/cat" thing when you have multiple pets and I kind of agree with now because she was MY cat, she felt like my cat, she always sat in my lap to play games with me, tucked me into bed at night and was the only cat to actually fall asleep with me, and she was the only one to come to me when I felt depressed because I don't open up to people very well, so it all felt "off" when I didn't have a reaction. Maybe it was because I knew she wasn't doing well and either outcome would make her feel better, death or success in surgery. It wasn't until a few months down the road that I can't even fully remember why it hit me then but I went downstairs and I was alone because my mom worked the graveyard shifts and I just started crying because my cat wasn't there anymore, she wasn't gonna come sit in my lap and be my buddy. The same exact thing also happened with my grandpa but I wrote it off as me not knowing him really well but one day I had to answer where his dog was and I started to say it was with him but I stopped and it hit me like "oh...right". Things. Just. Hit. Different. Stop normalizing when people grieve, how they grieve, and when its appropriate for them to go through acceptance because e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e is different from as small as the people in your family to as wide as everyone on the globe. Its honestly upsetting that people still - even through covid - act like work is the only thing that matters and that being overworked is just a sign that you're not doing enough or you're being lazy. WE NEED BREAKS - LET PEOPLE TAKE BREAKS LET THEM FEEL WHAT THEY NEED TO FEEL!
The self awareness Sean shows he has developed here is incredible. He should be so proud of how much he has grown as a person in a world that is so different to all of ours. Many of us struggle in our average lives, but to manage the "streamer life" and the juggling of identities is such a challenge that he has done so well to cope with for an extraordinary time. I hope he continues to realise that our opinions (even my own) don't matter, that he does belong and that his responses to situations are his own to control and noone else's. This is Sean's story and the more he focuses on his success and amazing journey and the less he compares to others, the stronger he's going to become. So happy to hear you have so much support from people in your personal life and I believe you've got what it takes to overcome these challenges
Yeah, the juggling of identities reminded me of Batman and how he would make it known that Bruce Wayne and Batman are not the same person. Definitely sounds like a difficult life balance. Actors/actresses probably deal with the same stuff. Sean seems to be a good cookie and I'm happy he found a place where he belongs. I'm also happy to say that I know that feeling! I went to my first comic convention and found myself surrounded by awkward/nerdy people like me who love to create and also appreciate what others make. My brain was thinking "I'm home!" It was a life-changing experience! I hope you'll find where you belong, if you haven't already. Anyway, you got this and Sean's got this!! 🙂

@@dramaticallydreaming3656 he didn’t say they couldn’t, no need to devalue his comment. respectfully
Why do people think it’s okay to treat people online who have a following like an object just stop! He’s human just like us and don’t you dare say well it’s his job it’s not his job to put up with your abuse or any influencer for that. Just be mindful
@Ì Àm ĶèvîňBB This is a wrong video to advertise yourself.
jack: I wanna take time off
also jack: *uploads his therapy session for us to know what's happening*
he cares so much about us and doesn't want us to worry
He's a guest on the Dr k podcast, he just uploaded it on his channel
he is damaging himself for a community... a dumb idea. he really should make a healthier schedule for himself and stop worrying about us.
If Sean ever needs to say "F U" to us I think we'd all understand lol
"what is stan culture?"
Me: oh no, here we go.
"Oh no"
Brace for impact!
This made me laugh... I was like "oh Dr. K is going to ask for a clarification on what a " stan" is".
As someone with mental illness I am so supremely happy Jack posted this
But also as someone with mental illness as I watched I started getting anxiety because it felt so personal diving into his mind and I felt like I was eavesdropping on a very private conversation
I appreciate how open you are with mental journey and help with normalizing getting help for your own mental health. I wish you all the healing and happiness in the world💕 Thank you for being genuine and helping us all to feel more comfortable with ourselves
this is annoying me like heck. think about this, jack use to read a lot of peoples comments a long time, make videos on them to entertain us and also read a lot of hate. we dont know how he felt behind the camera. he use to upload EVERY day and sometimes it was 2 or 3 times a day for a few years. he grinded to make us/his virtual family happy. he talks to people in the comments are makes us laugh a lot. he mentioned multiple times he played games he doesnt like JUST FOR US! he took time from his life to make us happy. remember that video of the girl crying in the audience and jack hugged her? hes a saint and the people talking about his father in a negative way is out of line. jack needed a break and he still may need one. jack has done so much more that 90% of youtubers. respect him like he does us. he has grown from a unknown youtuber to a "famous" (he doesnt like that way to describe him) youtuber with our help and love. everyone gets hate but i have no understanding as to why he got that type of hate. love from q to jack ❤❤❤
So he didn't like the happy wheels series, for example?
Redditors be like:
This is my thoughts exactly as well... (but you describe them 10 times better than I could )
I really hope this makes an impact on the subscribers, trolls and the horrible persons that made fun about his dads death... it's disgusting..
Stay strong and healthy Jack! / Love from Sweden
What games didn’t he like?
@@Floofy007 He said so many times that Happy Wheels was something that fit his character so he loved that game
I feel guilty now always calling him Jacksepticeye. I got so used to it that Sean and Jacksepticeye have the same weight, and I feel bad for that after listening to this
I call him jacksepticeye because it feels weird calling him Sean, I don't know him so I feel like I can't call him Sean, and I feel like using his online name should be used for online, and his real name should be used in real life, like for normal conversations between him and his friends or family or just whoever, I'm not going to stop calling him jack though
@@Ash_NuggTato yeah i didn't want to be overfamiliar
But at the same time when people ask how they should refer to him, he said he was fine with both so I don't think you can blame yourself
Seeing how Sean is so open about his career and emotions is making me emotional because its just showing me how down to earth he is
Dr. K mentioning that he would have liked more support throughout that decade after losing his father hit home with me. Lost my father when I was 9. Now at 25 I find myself on the most random of days wishing I had a father to talk to about anything. What kills me are all the unanswered questions I have that only a father could give his son. I dealt with his death at 9 not really knowing what the hell was going on and eventually the pain got easier. After high school and college is when it picked up again. Long story short the grief I dealt with at 9 is very different than the grief I feel today. Loss is a very strange yet consistent thing in our lives. Don't know why I shared this, I just felt compelled to start typing. Much love to all those out there dealing with the loss of someone.
You are so so strong i’m so sorry for all the pain you’ve had to deal with 🥺❤️
@@hollyholmes1855
I truly appreciate your support! I really do!
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Grief is never something to be ashamed of. I find myself grieving my grandparents now so much more than I did as a child, because I understand now what exactly I lost. There is no time limit on grief.
just like maya (our old dog) she died when i was 7 i was too little understand but i knew id never see her again, Maya was my only friend at the time other than my best friend Emmy. Who i've lost contact with and it breaks my heart thinking about it her. But all i can think is that Maya is in a better place, and Emmy is probably better without me.
It is good that you did this Jack. sometimes you just need someone to talk to, you did the right thing. I never got help now my life is never the same. Death is a horrible thing, but it all come eventually. hold on to the pain, keep your emotions, and live your own life. Don't lose yourself like me, I cant express emotions anymore but you still can. Stay strong and do what you want. We are here for you.
@@junoantaresofficial Thanks for this i dont get much good replies. I will try my best to get help like Sean.
@@thelaviathencrusader3092 please do get help, i don’t know how old you are but my mother had never addressed her trauma when she was young and that being a problem soon turned into a problem physically
i disagree with your statement sir or ma’am or something else. you are showing compassion, kindness and or sympathy in this comment
@@picklepie9810 I will thank you my friend
The part in the end where you talked about the feeling of everybody being better than you in college etc really resonated with me, I am close to finishing my studies and will be applying for jobs soon. And I really gotta deal with that feeling of not really deserving the job because I am kind of an "Imposter" and not really good at what I do.
I would love a therapist that explores like this with me.
then get a therapist?
@@MikiwiwasTaken they’re not all equal and as good as he is lol
You don't need a therapist. Everybody has a friend or two in their group that has a therapists ability. In fact you've probably discussed other people's problems together during 'gossip' sessions, and it may even be you!
It's often glaringly obvious to these people what others are struggling with in life, how and why they got themselves in these situations and what they should do to fix it. However, they're hesitant to point this out to the person in case it causes conflict, or the realisation may be traumatic for them.
The reason a therapist has these 'break throughs' with people is because they don't have that filter in the way. Find your 'no filter' friend, or the 'disgruntled one' that is often 'sick of the drama'. Ask them for advice, and think hard about their response.
@@AJ-oj5eu i dont think you know how a therapist works. you see a therapist isnt always just 'someone to talk to', theyre someone who has professional knowledge on issues you may be dealing with and in that way they tend to understand people better. they dont work for everyone, of course, but for many they do work since they create both a welcoming environment and you know that they can understand what you're going through, whereas friends wont always have that knowledge or experience to make you feel understood.
@@AJ-oj5eu The dangers about being the “therapist friend” (speaking as someone who had that role) is that it’s very easy to put everyone before yourself, to the point that it’s harmful. I got told for years that I had to stop putting others well-being before my own yet couldn’t because I was so emotionally invested, to a point where I basically put my own life on hold because it wasn’t as important. I felt that I had to be available to my friends 24/7, while struggling myself, and if something where to happen (them harming themselves etc) and I hadn’t been available for them that would be my fault (an extremely unhealthy look on friendship that I struggled with for years).
A therapist doesn’t have that emotional investment and knows how to leave the problems at work, so to speak (they’re supposed to, at least). If the “therapist friend” struggles with boundaries it can go very bad pretty fast. Of course you can talk to your friends about your problems/struggles and support each other but at the same time you have to be aware of the pressure that can put on your friends, and the same goes for them. Sometimes you need help from someone who has experience and knowledge about how to handle things, healthy coping mechanisms and such.
...wh- why did people see him as a character in the first place?? I've always been talking about him like a person, like a content creator- not a character.. what the fuck
What the fuck indeed
Then some random dude tries to promote his channel in my replies- people are fucking sickening
@@SmolGothic It’s a bot. Anyway, yeah. It’s pretty ridiculous. All creators are people and everyone knows that, some just don’t want to believe it
Cause people like jschlat likes to bee seen as a character and not attach feelings to him
People see content creators as characters. When you see him as someone other than just a person with a different type of job then you create a character of him.
:( seán just deserves to be happy, He is just trying and is making everyone else happy but he's struggling to be happy himself :(
@@idnfjf282 does it even constitute the title of person?
I'm waiting for that idiot to raid this video too
Sean has an impressive amount of self-awareness and emotional maturity. What a great conversation. Also subbed to Dr. K now. :)
Well, fuck... This made me start thinking about myself and why do I do the things I do.
Same..
Let’s go ahead and appreciate Sean posting this, this is why he’s my favorite TH-camr. The courage it takes to post these kind of videos and share your deep feelings with millions of people is immaculate. But we appreciate it a lot as someone with a huge voice on such a big platform people need to know that you have common world problems just like us.
Just a friendly note that implying that he is your favorite youtuber because of his courage to post something so deep could be a bit dangerous. I just mean don't set a precedent where we expect Sean to divulge all this personal stuff regularly.

We can all agree: Jack can and should do whatever the he'll he wants. Whenever he wants. No one can complain about him being happy.
yes yes yes!
this is why para-social relationships and stan culture is a terrible thing. Because those things, in their very essence, dictate the complete opposite, for a selfish delusion. It's fine being a fan of something, but being so zealous that you cant handle them moving on with their life, because you've dedicated your personality to being their fan is dangerous.
I actually really love that jack allowed himself to be recorded and share his personal memories and insecurities for us to see because I really resonated which a lot of the things he’s felt. It was very comforting and I really appreciate it ❤️
The world needs more genuine stuff like this on social media. Alot of us feel this way, but not many who are emotionally strong enough to upload or share this with the world. Much Respect.
We are his family
Agreed! I value genuineness a lot and it's lovely to see it in the creators I watch.
I'm glad seán is taking his mental health seriously, and even though he didn't need to share his personal life with us, we appreciate it and will always be here to support you!
I love how Jack's Community put effort into commenting long messages for him. I love this community and I hope Jack's see those letters to show Jack how much we love him
its sean not jack ... jack is the guy who posted videos 2 times a day not prowed of it , sean is the person who realised who he wants to be
one of the reasons i enjoy his channel and content, and letsplays even over others is that in games, especially those that deal with multiple endings, he has a level of empathy that cannot be matched; its who he is as a person that makes the games he plays so much more fun because of his reactions and responses. he's always searching for the symbolism and a deeper meaning and i genuinely enjoy someone who does that because they want to, not because they feel they have to, and i love how much he always makes me think and challenges my perspective. i remember especially when detroit become human came out, i watched like 4 different people play the first hour, but sean's is ultimately what i decided on watching and finishing the rest of because his empathy led him to make decisions similar to what i wouldve picked if i had the chance to play the game. and im glad i did because he really fell in love with that game and had a lot of fun with the memes, actually meeting connor, etc.
i hope he comes across this message. i have always felt this way and was ignorant enough to think it was obvious and needed not to be said. but really, much as i love jack and his brand, i stay and return for sean and who he is as a person.
Seán, I wanted to tell you that I will never abandon you. You could stop posting content for years at a time, and I will always come back to watch you when you post again. You mean so much to me, you make me laugh when the depression feels like it's crushing me, and I will never give up on you. No matter what you do with the rest of your life, whether it is more TH-cam, something else, or quitting the public eye altogether, you will always have a place in my heart, and I will _always_ come back for you.
Try to chill a bit on the positivity. Because that whole "never abandon you" thing sounds kinda toxic to me. Let life lead you where it takes you, but remember the good times when it does lead you in an unexpected direction.
Jack: I think this is another-
Dr. K: *I'D LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT*
Solid laugh. A-
ID LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT WHY
Man, hearing him talk about the whole "seeing yourself as a caricature" i feel that. I experience that every so often and it messes with my head
I really relate to a lot of what Jack is saying in this. It makes me wonder if he's an enneagram type 9 like I am. When he talks about always wanting to please everyone and make sure that everyone else is okay and at peace, it really sounds like he might be.
"you had to be a character to be noticed"
jack : ooooh sheeet
haha having your eyes opened. scary, thrilling, enlightening.
thanks for posting this Jack. for so many reasons.
Just hearing someone else open up and talk about his mental health and his experiences with his job both makes me feel more confident about talking about my issues and also solidifying my decision to go into psychology for a Bachelors Degree...it’s easy to forget that people that are in the spotlight are still people, and it’s so interesting listening to their perspective, because it’s quite rare. It’s one of the things that makes me want to go into psychotherapy as a job, and help people deal with their issues in a healthy way.
As someone who’s had a lot of mental problems, I just feel far better hearing people talk about themselves struggling with similar things because it makes me feel less broken and more human.
I have never been allowed to go to therapy either, even when I asked my parents to take me, so listening to how other people deal with their issues helps me cope with my own.
I just want to say that I appreciate the people that speak out about how they feel, however hard it may be, because it does have a knock on effect to people like me. I also appreciate everyone who actually read my maniac ramblings without wanting to throw me off a roof😂
Even if you skip through everything Jack and Dr. K have the same expression in the same position but when you actually listen to what they're saying you realize how much more Sean opened up to him. It's bittersweet.
I never realized how much we have in common. I am the youngest of 8. My parents were 30 & 43 when I was born. My father passed NYE 2020. He would've been 85 this March 28th. I related to 90% of what you were talking about. I really needed to hear all his questions right now. This seriously hit home. Thank you!
I’m so glad Seán was able to open up to a therapist and talk about things that probably were for a while bottled up, but it’s also kinda sad to see it publicized. I just hope Seán feels better because at the end of the day he’s human.
Yeah I did find it kind of.. odd that he posted this?
When I saw the title I was like "..What?"
I always thought therapy was a private thing..
@@cosmichild1 yeah but I don’t want to hate on it because I’m proud that he got help but it’s still kinda sad that he feels the need to publicize it
Very relatable. Asking and elaborating on existentialism. Think high school sucks? Early 20’s suck just as much for much different reasons. One of which, being the existential question of what am I doing with my life.
Honestly, my school years felt like Hell. I dealt with bullying and social awkwardness during middle school and a lack of purpose during high school. I either hated or don't associate often with my classmates and I never could muster up the desire to study at all, even though I hated having poor grades.
But after they ended, I just felt... empty. I thought I would be elated with finally being out of high school, but I found that I've spent so much time focusing on why school is terrible that I never considered what comes next. I'll be turning 20 this year and I feel like the existential dread is starting to set in.
@@0riginal_zer030 damn dude, I feel ya there. As soon as I turned 18 I went into community college (I was the youngest in my HS class). And I’ve been in college since. Just transferred to a uni to focus on a major and it’s just nonstop going. I know I have a year and 2 months before I’m done done. Still though, it’s tiring.
I also relate to disassociating with classmates... I only had a couple friends in HS. Which I made the mistake of dating one, which then made the breakup not my friend (we reconnected at community college and are good friends again after squaring things away). However, I’ve made no friends during my time at community college or this new university. In some regards, I don’t even know if I want these people to be my friends at times, they are just so annoying. It’s very lonely, not having anyone to turn to at this new city school. This uni is a private one for richer kids, and well, I’m not rich lol. If not for my mom and dad helping by putting money aside when I was younger, I wouldn’t be able to continue my tuition.
I’m sure your situation will be different, however. You will more than likely be able to find like-minded people in college depending on your area of study, especially when Covid lets up.
@@GhostStealth590
Between misanthropy and just general lack of motivation, making friends is a bit challenging for me, so I'm not too optimistic about my social life improving in college. But experience has taught me that a good friend can be found in anyone who's not a psychopath. I'm sure I can at least learn to socialise in college. Especially since unlike high school, behaving like monkeys is heavily discouraged in college.
On an unrelated note, is it strange that I am much closer to three pen pals from a different continent than I am with my own parents? Because even I'm starting to feel a bit concerned about how little I actually know about my own family.
At the end of the day. You deserve happiness Sean. No matter what anybody else thinks. You are the one that matters. And I'd give that advice to anybody who I cared about.
I'm currently a student in psychology and have always been interested in exploring Buddhism. I've tampered with the idea of integrating it into study. I want to thank you and Dr. K. I've been trying to pay attention to energies directing me, so thank you for being the link. ❤
Agreed I’m in the same boat
