So before I show you guys this vlog footage -- I was watching it back and
wanted to give just like an intro so that it makes sense. This little rant
vlog that I'm gonna show you guys was filmed the morning after a really bad
weekend. One of those weekend's where it just finally hit me... where my life has
ended up. I want to stress that the revelations that I'm having are not
defeatist; they're not negative towards myself. They are real observations.
I've been told this is a problem. This is not me just getting upset at myself. I
have been told by a lot of concerned family members that the way I'm living
isn't right. I want to be really open about that and just share my struggle.
Thanks for watching guys.
Dear God, I look so exhausted. So Tired.
Today -- what is today? It's Monday. I have this Monday off. I have the rest of the
week off till Thursday. I start fall semester soon and I I've been doing a
lot of thinking lately. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my life and where
I'm at and I'm not satisfied. I'm not happy with where I'm at. It's mostly
because I'm lonely. I've been pretty socially isolated by choice over the
last like two or three years. I did better when I had roommates just because
there was like that socialization by default. But over the last year it's been
particularly bad. I have been working to build my business. I've been working to
build an at-home job -- something that I can sustain, that will make me money and
I've also been doing college online for over three years. So sort of by my own
choices... and not paying attention to how easy it
would be to get stuck in a rut. Even though I wanted those things. Even
though I wanted at-home work and I wanted to do college from home. Doing the online
thing has its downsides. I'm at a point right now where I'm only 26 but I
have no one but family. I don't have anyone in my life that isn't obligated
to support me, that supports me. Obviously online and on YouTube and Instagram, yeah.
I do I have a lot of people that support me and I don't think anyone will ever
know how grateful I am for the people that do message me and talk to me. But in
person I'm pretty lonely pretty -- isolated. I think that's really common. I'm
trying to see it that way. That it's common for really driven, creative people
-- especially like, if your schedule is at-home like it is for me. So I have
just slipped on making the effort to go out and to try to meet people. A lot
of the people I have met online or that support me online I would be more than
willing to hang out or meet with but I'm I'm an Oregon. I'm in the corner
of the nation. I just want to be open about it. I just want to talk about it. I
want to be real about it. I want people to know that I'm 26 years old and I have
these things in my life that are bringing me a lot of happiness and
success and pushing my life forward but there's this major epic sector of my
life that is lacking. It's totally on me. I made the choice to stay home. I made
the choice to not get involved when we move to a new city at the beginning of
the year. It's not too late to do those things but it's had consequences. I
just feel like I -- I've just become this person that doesn't have a lot of social
skill now. And gets really anxious when it's not in
front of a camera... when I actually have to be vulnerable in front of people. So
I'm really grappling with that. I knew not having a campus was gonna be
hard. I knew that going it alone for college was gonna be really hard. I
just haven't done anything about it up until now. I just haven't made the effort
to to get out of my own head and to try and make friends. I
guess it just sucks because it's like I felt for a long time -- like since high
school, that people are good. Like, they have their friends circles.
They have their friends that they've had since they were little and that's the
way it goes. You have these good friends that you had the window of time to make
that were like childhood friends and I failed. I feel like I've missed my
opportunity to like have a really good friendship with somebody. It only
gets harder the older you get and I'm already having a hard time. I'm just
sort of panicking that I've socially isolated myself for so long... I don't... I
don't know if I'm even gonna be like, able to do this. But I have to. I'm so
depressed. I'm so depressed. Not having people sucks. And I -- I do. Like I said, I
have family but I can't keep putting the entire burden of me on just my family. I
have no other social support and that's really unhealthy. I'm talking about
it because I'm gonna -- I'm gonna document getting out of this. I'm gonna document
changing my life in this area. And how I did it because this sucks. I have no
idea how it's going to turn out. It could be three more years before I even have
one person to call a friend. That's okay. I just need to start. So I'm
just going to show you guys what happens. I'm gonna figure this out. For those
of you that have reached out to me and supported me via the internet and online --
Thank you. I really can't thank you enough. I am good with the online
friendships. I'm good with online relationships, but I need to start doing
some real life stuff. I mean, I think it's partially why I started a YouTube
channel -- let's be real. Even in my like second vlog I'm pretty
sure I said that like, I don't have a lot of friends. Starting this channel was a
way for me to feel like I was connecting with people. In some ways it has
worked but, you know, Instagram followers are not going to show up to my funeral.
YouTube subscribers are not gonna show up when I die. I'm starting to get
that whole -- that's the question I've been asking myself. Like, who is gonna
show up at my funeral? It's not in like a depressed way -- let me stress that.
It's -- no, it's like, a philosophical question. It's like, who would be affected
by this? When I look at my life it's like I've only impacted an immediate
circle. I've only impacted my family. There's so much more that I can do and
I'm just having like all of these revelations about my behavior and the
choices I made. I obviously don't regret any of my at- home stuff but I
need to start going about it a different way. I can't spend every day in the house.
I can't spend every day completely alone. Mike comes home from work obviously but
I can't do this to myself anymore. So I'm gonna -- I'm gonna document it and figure
out what I'm gonna do and how I'm gonna get through this...
