    For Aug, we're hoping to really expand the community and really bring mental wellness to the forefront. With the many events that happen in the world, we're hoping to really encourage people to open up more about their challenges and find a community where they can belong in. We want to start by encouraging reaction videos. If you're interested in sharing your experiences while watching our video, feel free to create them (no copy right claims from us, whatsoever). Also, selected content could get paid, if we deem them really helpful to the community.

    I love when someone doesn't ever hit you back, but when you're with them in person, they physically can't put their phone down.
  • @FwAyani
    Yea I be catching on when they don’t wanna start convos / never text first or anything it’s like constantly putting in effort for somebody avoiding you 💀
  • @pierre0227
    Been through this. More importantly never assume someone wants a relationship unless they tell you.
  • @illymns3339
    Sometimes people are just bad texters but like you in person. They might be busy or going through a lot, so I think it's good to just be upfront if there's any doubt about it. Signs are just signs, and not the law XD

    One reason why I don't initiate texting even to someone I really like: I don't like getting ignored or receiving late messages. Let's just say I went through some phase of my life being ignored whenever I called for help, so now I'd rather wait for the person to text me or if not, it is what it is. It's hard being this way because I am often confronted for "not being interested" when I am actually interested. 🤦
  • This isn't always the case, mainly number 3. I have seen and been on both sides of the coin. Some people are horrible at responding, or their anxiety can stop them from doing so. I liked a girl who would be pretty responsive. She would text me first, but she suddenly stopped the last month of our friendship. Turns out she didn't feel the same. She admitted that she only texted me first a lot of times because I helped calm her anxiety and depression in the morning. Yet, the girl I like now and talking to messages me every morning but is terrible at responding to a text. In-person, she loves to touch, kiss, and hold hands and is very responsive
  • I wish i had this video back in highschool! I was stuck trying to be with a crush i liked for 3 years and never looked at any one else. I put myself through a rollercoaster of feelings. But i've learned from it. Thank you for posting this video for those that need it. Save yourself from feeling hurt, and remember there is a lot of other people in the world.

    If my enthusiasm is not reciprocated then, I don't bother them anymore.
  • @khalilahd.
    I feel like these are great tips for discovering who is your real friend and who isn’t as well. Especially the texts and initiating things 😕
  • @ziomeczus
    I am so happy that I have a friend that is exactly the same irl and through texting
  • @nctallowed
    i read the title, and then started crying
  • @justafoon
    Eventually, I just have so much self doubt that I end up ignoring THEM.
  • @allanivie6311
    My crush at first was greatly annoyed by my texts. When I first got her number, our relationship as friends was fresh, which, if anyone wants a romantic relationship with someone, become their friend first! :D. I eventually asked her on a date, and things progressed to the point where we fell in love with each other and she enjoyed responding to my texts! I’d say, if you’re good friends, and they’re a decent person in general (in person and texting) then you need not give up hope!-Even if texting a crush can be nerve racking, exciting, sometimes crushing *wink*, effort CAN pay off through genuine care.
  • You got me at #2. I have a crush that I text sometimes (or at least used to) and I would always be the one who had to keep the conversation going. She would never text me unless she was responding to my texts. I stopped texting her in early May when it became emotionally exhausting. She hasn't texted me at all since then. I'm thinking it's time to move on.
  • @simran750
    no but whoever has the guts to at least send a text to their crush, Y'ALL ARE SO STRONG SHIT
  • @coffeedrop4764
    I've always been interested in what kinda thought process they have when deciding to text back a person they're not into? Like????? Why won't you just tell them you're not interested and let them leave you alone and leave peacefully? Why do they pick dry texting over simply declining the other's offer to talk by text??? Like, dude, just say ya don't like me, I'll move on. Why would you decide to give me one-worded replies instead, wasting my time and yours??? Why?.. Can anybody explain? I really don't understand what they're thinkin about. Sorry for my bad English btw
  • @IgnitedQuils
    Usually when I see experiences of people always initiating conversations with their crushes, I see people put the blame on the initiators but rarely on the crushes themselves. If the crush doesn't respect you, reciprocate appreciation, best not to try. You're not losing anything and usually they won't know what they have until it's gone. Even when they won't notice that, it's best to go to where you're needed. Keep in mind, I'm not talking about crushes where the crush isn't interested back romantically and still treats you decently, referring to crushes that don't value you and their time with you.

    #4 for me. Cutting someone off today because they don’t make me feel good about myself
