YOU'RE BETTER THAN YOU THINK!!

I hope you guys take something from this video, I knew it was a dark topic, but I felt like it was an issue that needed to be addressed. As always thank you for all of the support. All of the likes and comments you guys give me really lets me know that you are loyal and that means so much!

Dear Ryan, I think we can all agree on the fact that you should be a public speaker.

Can we just take a moment to notice that Ryan took time to make a video about something as serious as this and people are disliking this.... Just stop... If you don't this don't watch it... Ok? Thanks

I got teary-eyed at the end. thank you. Even though I do not self harm, I care about them even though I don't know them. I realized just how lucky we are. Some people don't have a home. I care about them, of course. I feel their pain, I really do. I appreciate you for doing this. This might be a bit weird to tell you on a comment, but at least it helps. And again, thank you

What ever girl you end up with, is a very lucky person.

I'm holding back the tears, this was beautiful and I hope it helps out a lot of people!!!<3

This is why you are one of my heroes Ryan, I just wanted to let you know that I want to become at least half the man you are

You are so spot on with every single aspect of self harm and suicide. It really is sad that people get so depressed to the point of destruction. Love ya, man. Keep it real. You really are better than you think. Videos about this topic make me feel so much better about myself. Thank you for speaking up about this topic. :)

What you said about suicide ending the possibilities of things getting better was the most powerful thing I've ever heard on the subject. Honestly, that may have just changed my life and way of thinking. <3 Praying it gets better soon...

I have so much respect for you Ryan.

when you said "look me in the eyes when i say this.." i couldnt help but actually look you in the eye. i know im not the first person to say this, and im not saying this for you to notice me. But Ryan, you really have saved my life. One of the first videos i watched of yours was the one where you talked about your mom, and your draw my life video. Those 2 video themselves opened my eyes, and made me realize that things WILL and CAN get better. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for changing me and helping me through the tough times. I can always rely on you to make me feel better and to make me laugh and smile. Thank you Ryan. I love you so much. <3

i always felt really insecure about having scars and i went through so many measures to hide them and then i saw people showing them off to everyone so they could get attention and people would tell them that they loved them and they just wanted the attention having them would bring and it disgusts me and i hate how much social media glorifies it and represents it as the only way to feel better when its actually the worst thing to do honestly ive been there and its not the way to get better its an addictive horrible habit that is going to make you feel further separated from everything and everyone. the way you explained everything in this video was perfect you have such a good grasp on this concept.

Ryan, this is what makes you stand out from other youtubers. You will reach out to people in need and take the time to make these kind of videos for awareness and this is why you will be so successful. This is why we love you!

I'm taking the pledge right now, cause this video to stop cutting. Thank you.

Ryan's such a perfect youtuber. He's not trying to impress, he's not fake or stuff like that. He can be ridiculously funny or super serious and that's great! x 

ryan i hope you do read this because you are an absolutely amazing person. i know i may not know you but what i do know is that this world needs more people like you and truly know you make the world a better place. not because of the amount of subscribers or like you get but because of the the compassion we hear in your words and kindness we see in your eyes. this video would have helped a lot of people and on their behalf i thank you

Those were impotent words.

im like about to cry, i love your inspirational videos sooo much, alot of them dont have much to do with my life but they are so sweet and so heart felt and its so amazing because theyre always so true and so sweet and you can here it in your voice about how much you care, and i love you so much! like whenever i watch your videos i feel like thank god someone is saying it and i love how you actually appreciate how many people listen to you and use it in a good way and it feels like faith in humanity is being restored. so i just wanted to say thank you for being so amazing

thank you so much for making this video. it means so much to me. i watch it every time i have a panic attack or feel like self harming or just whenever im feeling sad. what you say honestly helps so much, and i love you.

Hey Ryan! I wish this video was around during my 6yrs of depression, self harm, suicide, and almost developed an eating disorder because I just couldn't fit in, had no friends and was picked on for liking the Jonas Brothers. This all happened in 5th grade and this hell of being alone ended in 10th grade when God called me back. If it wasn't for God I would be dead now. I'm 21 now and I am living every day to the fullest because of the love I finally found again in God. I am super positive because life's too short to worry about the negativity around me. This is my life story and i just want to say to everyone that you can get through it. I did. So can you. Thanks again Ryan :)
