You have no idea how strong you are. Trust me, there have been many times when I've wanted to express my feelings and let my emotions out, but I just couldn't. I've cried and dealt with my problems silently. It's not easy, but we can get through this in time. Everything will pass.
Thank you for being honest. Your videos help a lot not just for tutorials on making videos but also tutorials about life. As a 27 year-old guy (turning 28 next week), I feel like I'm lost. I hope I'll get that satisfaction also in life someday.
I can relate to this feeling and kudos for being so vulnerable on camera. As a man we shouldn't hide emotions, we are humans.. we have emotions and we SHOULD feel them.. thank you Ben I appreciate you
This is amazing! More creators need to be open about the emotions and feelings we feel by taking that leap to greatness and feeling fulfilled. I took the leap 2 years ago this month and I cried and cried once the things I sacrificed like my time, health, sanity, relationships, and more. You inspire me to be a different type of creator and person. I have started focusing on me and my feelings and needs. I appreciate you Ben and keep up this amazing content! ❤
Wow, I hear you 💜 Thank you for the vulnerability and so much feelings that your getting accross and the waves of happiness and grief 🙏🏼 I was also single for 6 years and also lived through something very similar this year. I think once we heal we are ready to share life with other people and we keep healing with new interactions. Keep going one day at a time!
As a fellow TH-camr I applaud you for being authentic it's rare enough to be noticable. I'm sure you will help many men and women who need to watch this. Recently I just started telling my story on my channel live and no more edited produced videos. 😊
As men, we grew up locking out emotions in, wearing an armor so heavy that kill us. As a man who just came out midlife crisis and depression most of my life, I am so so happy to hear you are so connected to your emotions and let yourself been vulnerable. Wish could hug you and tell you: "you are enough, you are a beautiful human being and you are worth it"
This hit me deep. I struggle so much in every aspect of life and watching you open up and put yourself like this is beyond inspiring. Keep up the great content man.
All the best Ben, I hope you find new fulfilling companionship for this next chapter of your life. Thank you so much for showing this vulnerable side incredibly brave and inspiring🙏🙏
Go on, Ben! Happy for you, brother. Unlocking that emotional range is huge - that's life. And staying open even when shit happens shows strength, not weakness. I could do with being less of a hobbit too haha. Coffee soon?
Thanks for this Ben. Watching you grow as a creator has been so inspiring, because of you I started posting again last month and my main channel hit 3,000 subs. Thank you 🙏 I’m so happy to see this kind of vulnerability from a creator like you.
I’m so glad I could be an inspiration for you to start creating again, that’s exactly what I’m here to do and I love to hear I’m making a difference, good luck ❤️
Thank you for being so open. 💜 You are giving others permission simply by showing up as you have -- this was moving for me in ways I'm not sure I can express yet. But I rarely comment on the countless videos I watch, let alone having the courage to even acknowledge the emotional impact something like this (your vulnerability and expression, what you shared) has had for me. May you continue to lean into your intuition on what to create, what to share, how to show up in the world -- trusting that the impact you can have on others will only grow as you continue to show up. All the best! -- 9:38 You mentioned 'needing to connect with people more, meet new people, explore new places, and actively seek emotional fulfillment ..." -- a great awareness on next steps! In my experience it's easy to point at ourselves about what we want/need to do. Lately I am finding myself taking a step back and frame what I know I need to do into a question to make it easier to find that next step in that area. Rather than only "knowing" I need to connect with people more, can I invite more curiosity about what that entails, tangibly in my life: "where is somewhere I feel curious and inspired to go to meet people at?", "what activity could I explore this weekend/month and meet other people that way?", "what's something I want to do/learn but have some resistance to exploring?", "what places locally or afar have I been drawn to but never let myself explore?", "who in my life could I reach out to right now to spark the next, deeper, more fulfilling connection?", "where can I go alone that would be enriching?", or "who might I want to invite along on a little adventure?" (etc) For me, sometimes "needing to connect with people more" is intimidating and vague, but if I can get my brain thinking about "WHERE could I meet people," or "WHAT could I be doing that happens to have people I could meet," or "WHO do I want to start creating a deeper friendship/connection with?", I might be more inclined to schedule that event or go to that place. I hope that you find whatever questions you need, answers to those questions, and allow yourself to ride the momentum from the emotions/experience you shared in this video. All the best!
Hey Ben, my name is Ben too.. I have just left my job of five years to finally take care of myself and my family.. As a guy you are told to just keep on pushing through everything.. All society ends up with is a swathe of broken, angry, disconnected men who have wasted their youth and bodies. Today I learned a new quote which I think is great... " The Cave You Fear to Enter Holds the Treasure You Seek". Thanks for sharing and it's great that you have unlocked this important side of yourself. Cheers from Melbourne Australia.
Holy shit Ben, so strong to do this in front of camera and post it. I'm only 19 and the things you say throughout this video are so relateable its insane.
You got me tearing up at the end aha, this hit on such a deep level. Thanks for being so open and having the courage to share this, the internet needs more men like you to guide generations on the correct path and show that the uncertainty and all the feelings you described and showed are okay and completely normal. Honestly grateful for this video, thanks.
First, thank you, It takes a lot to achieve what you've done here. This was an emotional video for me because I relate in a lot of ways. I had a dramatizing childhood that caused me to become emotionally unavailable as an adult. I still struggle, but now I do therapy. I know it's along road for me. But keep your head up stay on your current path and keep doing good work.❤
Thank you for sharing your soul with us. Let us be here 4U. We've all have the same experiences. U've already given us so much. Live 4U. I relate so much. Did you know I'm a big ass crier, thanks for another one. U have our love. Thank you for being authentic and allowing us in. I hope this has cathartic for you.
Thank you for the comment, sorry for making you cry, but I hope it’s inspiration for you, drive for you to push, motivation for you to do what you want, please do it for me
Your approach to making videos resonates deeply with me and my vision. I know I have much more to gain than you but I would love to collab on an honest conversation between two humans. If my content resonates with you please let me know. I feel you brother.
Beautiful Share, mate. Thank you. I’m inspired. Found your page recently. I’m a 44 year old working paycheck to paycheck-always dreamed of self-employed financial independence /content creation. No idea how. I ‘accidentally’ acquired 40K followers on Instagram just by being my authentic random self. … gotta figure out how to translate that to TH-cam… anyway, just wanted to say that seeing you speaking so personally to your YT channel subscribers, feels inspiring… that it’s possible to grow financially just by sharing yourself authentically…
Just be yourself and keep sharing with people what it’s like to be yourself. You’ll find people that are like you and relate and they will become your community
Ben is definitely a role model to me. Every video you put out i use to better myself and uplift myself. Thank you.
You have no idea how strong you are. Trust me, there have been many times when I've wanted to express my feelings and let my emotions out, but I just couldn't. I've cried and dealt with my problems silently. It's not easy, but we can get through this in time. Everything will pass.
@@SebleKitchen1 thank you for the kind thoughtful words I appreciate it ❤️
@@BenKaluza Of course 💗😊
Haven’t even started the video yet and just reading the thumbnail and I’m like I should probably sit down for this one…
This is amazing! Thanks for making authentic videos ❤
Thank you for being honest.
Your videos help a lot not just for tutorials on making videos but also tutorials about life.
As a 27 year-old guy (turning 28 next week), I feel like I'm lost.
I hope I'll get that satisfaction also in life someday.
Ben, I'm starting a content marketing agency this month and I am constantly watching your content for the honesty, advice, the raw. Hugs.
I’ve been struggling the last 4-5 months and I can resonate with everything your saying so thank you for sharing this ❤️
I’m here for you ❤️
This one hit deep 🥺😢 Glad to be watching and also joining you on your journey 🙏🫶

@@BenKaluza thanks for asking, I am doing pretty good as I am learning too to reconnect to myself and begin the healing process
This hit me deep. I struggle so much in every aspect of life and watching you open up and put yourself like this is beyond inspiring. Keep up the great content man.
