    He is such a golden retriever boyfriend. I mean that in the absolute best way possible.
  • I was sexually, physically, mentally and emotionally abused by my family as a little girl. I have an excellent therapist and a husband who loves and accepts me as I am. It is possible. Big hugs.
  • @leirs126
    Can we just give a shoutout to the people that raised this amazing manđź‘Ź

    I am a retired psychologist and happened across this video and frankly you two are super clear and conscious of your beings and it is a joy to see the love you give to each other. A wonderful couple that are supporting each other on your paths whatever they may be. A great example to many couples today struggling not with maybe clinical labels but just people not aware of their being ness. You are a light as a couple
  • Is it just me, or is this guy one of the purest of hearts. I don't know him personally but I really get the sensation that he is just a very kind man. And the older he gets, the more loving and kind he will become. I just wish we could all be more like him.
  • This man, his girlfriend, everything they do.. I'm a very negative person and I have my own stuff but I can feel you both restore my faith in humanity. Thank you both for everything you do, for the way you are.

    I have ADHD, Social Anxiety and PTSD. Shes so relatable for me. How alone it feels to think everyone hates you all the time. And how impatient people are with you when you feel like dirt.
  • Alyssa mentions many traits that are associated with autism. High intelligence with big challenges. I relate to not liking eye contact! Has she had an autism evaluation? I had multiple diagnosis… that still didn’t help me. A very intelligent doctor decided to test me for autism… and BINGO. ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, depression… and then - autism was the overarching thing that had been missed. Good luck to you both!

    "I don't need to solve or to understand your depression" - here's a great message for those caring for someone who is struggling emotionally. The first thing anyone needs is for their state to be accepted, rather than "fixed".
  • @Rain-kp2nf
    This gives me hope that there will be someone who will accept, understand, and love me regardless of my mental health problems. Thank you.
  • @davenc8527
    I'm a proud sponsor of your channel. As a father of a special needs child that my wife and I adopted from Bulgaria, I can't thank you enough for all the wonderful people that you interview.
  • @KawaiiCat2
    As someone who had lost faith in dating for myself and for other people, having been in abusive relationships, being abused because of my mental conditions, seeing how awful and abusive people can be.. THIS interview restored my faith in humanity. That good people do exist. Y’all two are the sweetest and so amazing people for the work you do and the people you help. Thank you for all you do. ❤️
  • “What is it like to feel like everybody constantly doesn’t like you?” The way her mood literally changed in front of the camera broke my heart
  • @honeyb7631
    He’s one of the most emotionally intelligent person I’ve ever witnessed on this earth! He makes such a great effort to understand! He’s a gem 💎
  • @rhondablake3829
    I am 64 and for the first time in my life listening to her I realized there was actually someone who was going through exactly what I did. I am so proud of have far you have came. Thank you for sharing with us. đź’•
  • @yayvey
    I'm currently in a very dark place, and your videos are bringing back my faith in humanity. Thank you for everything you guys have done and continue to do.
  • @tanyasorin4619
    Rejection Sensitive Disorder is common for ADHD folks. it is SO exhausting and devastating to think everyone hates you 24/7 and really destroys you mentally. I relate to you so much and am so grateful to you for sharing your experience.
  • As a mid 40's male, I've learned to not listen to my brain anymore. I just live and don't care what others think. I try to be a good husband and a better father to my 2 girls. Took me a lot of years to get there.
  • I doubt Chis will see this on a 3 year old video (maybe, this one is about his personal life and relationship with his life partner) but I really have to say what an amazing person you are. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the good you do in this world. You are a literal ray of light, spreading love and joy to millions. If I could impact even 1/1000000th of the people you have, I would have accomplished my goals in life. Thank you for all you do Chris, you are a living saint. You make the world a much brighter, happier, loving, and more beautiful place.
  • As a person with C-PTSD, I heavily relate to Alyssa. I was given multiple diagnoses before it was discovered I had C-PTSD. Most, if not all, of the ways I was symptomatic of other illnesses could be traced back to it.
