Unashamed and Unafraid

[TheOtherTrevor]

I think this is my favorite video of yours. Good job.

[MrDreamingoutloud]

Oh my gosh Tyler..... I wanna cry...... Your amazing

[tubeasinlondontube]

Thank you so much for sharing and bring hope to other people in need. Bests

[MaggieSerendipity]

I was randomly watching your youtube videos when I stumbled across this one. This was the only video that made me put down Words with Friends and fucking listen. I.... I love this, and you so much. I never would've guessed that underneath the normal, college-stressed face was an anorexic one. Tyler, you're amazing.

[darkerca]

I watched this video, when it was new, and I still watch it sometimes.

I think its safe to say that this is officially the best video on youtube!

[digapig123]

Preach.

[SIngli6]

Life is a farce, and our mistakes are what make it so amusing. Life should not be cherished, it should be laughed at with vitriolic contempt. Embrace your mistakes, and cherish their calamitous consequences. The essence of youth is the act of taking a sadistic pleasure in human suffering. As Oscar Wilde once wrote, "To get back one's youth one has merely to repeat one's follies".

[avaroseblossom]

depression. i wouldnt have made it through without my bestfriend. we were both in abusive homes at the time. we would tell each other everything.&promise not to tell.bc when were taken from our homes as young childs,they always put us back.making it worse. i could cry and tell her everything that happened.she never said sorry.&i loved that about her.when someone says sorry its like saying "i feel bad, but that sucks for you, not my problem." she died last year. she really was my guardian angel.

[MoonWitchRuuRuu]

I have made a lot of mistakes that have harmed myself for years. I believe we all have. But my biggest regret was not realizing my best friend was having an allergic reaction when she didn't even know herself. She had to face the fear of dying all by herself when I could've been there for her. I feel guilty everyday and I like to believe this video has helped me. Thank you Tyler. You're a wonderful man.

[IamSplishSplashStyle]

This is really moving. Thank-you, Tyler.

[sameritaco]

[livetolaugh100]

...I love you...

[Missaness15]

Depression.

Curse you depression!

You are so going down, I'm done with you!

[bunnyloverssociety]

were u really anorexic?

[poetryreadingdork]

AW YOU'RE SO SWEET. Thank you Tyler, this made my day :-) And I didn't know you were anorexic. I feel you man.

[kittygurl212]

You are amazing, really Tyler. I've been stuck on your vids since last night and I can't stop watching. Love you! :-)

Smile, you're beautiful :-)

[SarahStephanie88]

Thank you, Tyler. That was amazing, I love you for that! <3

[VineProductions]

Tyler, I share the same sufferings. You don't recover completely from that disease but, we are constant fighters. We will never let this take us down again now will we? Thank you tyler. You are my inspiration.

[xXxAllisonnxXx]

thank you tyler. i started cutting myself when i was 13 (im 18 now) and this means alot. its nice that people tell u that u arent that person any more and even tho ur past might be rough, you dont have to be like that anymore. much love <3

[kevimasaya]

This is the first video I favorited. It was just beautiful.

[Crabbieskid]

Tyler,

Your videos... there is just something about them... no, somthing about you. You are such an amazing, honest, beautiful person. Your serious videos are just as good as the ones where your goofing around, if not better. You never fail to put smiles on people's faces. <3 Thank you Tyler, for being you <3

~Crabbieskid

[lunzgerald]

tyler, you are so honest. I wish I was like you when I was your age,Instead I hid in the closet till I was OMG 30. I wasted so much of my life pretending to be straight.Thankfully I found my self and a partner who loves me. I does get Better.

[Mrphillsfan123]

i cheated on the girl on my dreams, i dont know what came of me. It just happened....ive been single for 12 years

[chumoose]

I was bullied for 7 years. As a kid I was told to ignore it, stick and stones, right? By the time I was in 8th grade,I developed severe anxiety, depression and anger issues. I was admitted into the mental hospital multiple times against my will. My parents and siblings went through so much grief because of that. I am now able to move on, control my anger, speak to others, and open up to new people

[Oukow]

I have learned this important lesson from my sister- the one who has gone through so much more than I ever knew- she is so much stronger than I ever knew and it makes me realize that I want to live life with the same strength she has.

[elmobearifly]

i used to cut myself.

i was depressed.

i hid it. my friends saw it.

they tried to talk to me about it.

i wouldnt listin.

i now can say, that i havnt cut myself

in 7 months. even though ive wanted to.

i over came my depression.

and im proud of it.

[christine5512]

wow, i never knew this about you! so many heartssssss!!!<3 congrats on getting past it and on being so inspiring for so many people.

[JoCieLeeB]

I was in an abusive relationship for a year and a half, and I stayed with him because no matter how many times he beat me, when he said he loved me, I forgave him. And during that time I started cutting. Not on my wrists, but on my legs and thighs. The scars haunt me still. I see the looks on peoples faces when they see them. And it makes me feel ugly and unlovable. It makes me think "Who could ever love someone as damaged and ugly as me?" This video is beautiful and so are you. ♥

[CottnCandyRainbow]

I love you

[LaurenMacP1994]

I promised i wouldn't cut. I did and it's ruined so many friendships. I don't know if i'm ready to change just yet but i'm thanking you for putting this video up. xxx

[robinatorandshannino]

i just want to say THANK YOU! i literaly cryed watching this. i have been sufering from depression for a very long time now, and it got to the worst it ever was this year... but im healing and i finaly found hope again im seeing a theropest and taking back the life i once loved. and this added on to the lil bit of hope i hold on to. i am proud of you and every one out their that struggls and who are overcoming them

[nick116688]

Love to be one of your huge subcriber ^^ Hey Tyler, just wondering what song is in this video!!?

[PKMNheartr]

Tyler, I dumped the love of my life because I thought I could do better. (I'm such a bitch.) How do I get over that? Especially since he's already found someone else to love.

[CottnCandyRainbow]

@PKMNheartr The world is so large. Don't beat your self up over one person when there are millions of other eligible you haven't met yet. 

[mmpf111]

thank you

[tmfel]

This is great for anyone who has such a vivid problem. You have an amazing heart and spirit.

[bnugentkarate]

i screwed up so bad a year and a half ago that i won't even say what happened. my life shattered and i lost literally over a dozen of friends. i'm still working on moving on today. i stayed awake for an hour last night thinking about where i would be today if i hadn't messed up in the first place. i saw this video (for the first time) today and watched it twice. i admire you for the messages you send, but how can you just forget the past? i try, but somehow my mind always wanders back.

[bnugentkarate]

one of the best Youtube videos I have ever seen.

[IDreamOf98]

Tyler, I watch a lot of your videos and I really like them. I just now found this video though. I had no idea you were anorexic.

I'm currently seeing a psychatrist for my anorexia and bulimia. Thanks for making this video.

[AmiLikesChiodos]

I still can't forgive myself. I never can. I was in a relationship and we loved each other, I've never been in love before..Before he told me he loved me, I made a big lie. And it came back and ruined everything we had. He hates me now. I could've been happy today, if I never made that mistake. I can never forgive myself for losing him.

[xlovexpeacexlovex]

I've been suffering from depression and cutting for a little less than a year. And no, I'm not emo. I'm your average high school sophomore with good grades and supportive friends. But when you're depressed, you literally feel all alone, like no one could POSSIBLY understand. I've been getting better, and I'm happier now. Those self-inflicted scars remain there as my reminder, forever, even long after I forgive myself. Thank you for this Tyler :)

[WYIN98]

Scars remind us the past was real

*hugs you*

[n00niii]

@xlovexpeacexlovex what do you think when youre looking at your scars?

i was depressed too..for years..and i cut myself until i realized that i wasnt only hurting myself but other people too..

sometimes i still hate my scars and im embarrassed about them.. but sometimes i just think theyre a part of who i am..or was..

[flamingo400]

@xlovexpeacexlovex you cut ur self and ur not emo?

[MarinaNomNom]

@flamingo400 "not looking", not claiming emo.

[flamingo400]

@MarinaNomNom like she cuts herself but she doesnt dress like an emo

[MarinaNomNom]

@flamingo400 isnt that what i just said?

[flamingo400]

@MarinaNomNom no need to be a bitch about it

[MarinaNomNom]

@flamingo400 i backspaced so much trying not to cuss and be a bitch, this isnt a bitch your just sensetive.

[dabuleigh]

thats really beautiful

[dan19120]

Ur amazing I love watching ur videos.

I have made so many mistakes and have been dissppointed so many time by others that I just don't care. I don't see the point in dwelling in the past when the future is so much brighter.

[TattooToad16]

i think you should make a video explaining what you went through i know that it would inspire me to get better

[IOpenAtTheClosee]

I know this video is really old, and you probably won't even read this, but I just wanted to say that this is really inspiring. I've been dealing with eating disorders for around four years, and it really does take over your life. I won't go into my whole story, but basically I've been struggling to avoid relapsing, and this helped me. Thank you. <3

[NMerenda1]

I just got it. Thank you. It all just fell into place and I get it. It's not about forgiving the other person, it's about forgiving yourself. Only then can you move on and over. You truly are an incredible person.

[blondibby]

Ive been anorexic for 5 years. i have absolutely no idea how to stop. i have tried like everything i can think of, but nothing is working. help.?

[KouuShizuku]

yes, everybody know that they have to overcome "it".. Thats not the tough part.. The tough part is overcoming "it".. So hard to get rid of..

still, thanks for the vid..

[kmeliss]

thank you, tyler.

[TayLeigh127]

Aw, thanks. That was inspirational :)

[9499295]

thank you....i think everyone needs this. everyone has done something that they regret, and would love this. its amazing what a youtube video can do, especially when its made by someone who lives across the country from you.

amazing.

[calafornialove]

Im going back to being anorexic again, its mentally challenging me my life and decisions, stress and being not heard. Im not going to srceam help, I'm gonna show that I need help then someone might listen.

[yelly201]

a lot of people do need to watch this.

I needed to watch this.

thank you, for reminding me that the past is in the past, and I can only do things to prevent the past from being the future.

[XXSunxKissedXX]

that was really great..

alot of people probably needed that

thanks

[shortyyy22]

[likeduhjanay]

I like the message of the vid:)

[lizandthewackness]

[obsidian1983]

[MsMagoo6864]

[Gingerspice19]

That was so shocking!

Good for you!

[saywhattxxx]

[dramageek4life818]

[Katers1350]

[Keeper123455]

Tyler, I love you and your messages.

[duncansomerside]

powerful.

[lemoncookies321]

beautiful

[umaretashi]

Thank you.

[alumni2010]

Wow...this was an AMAZING clip. It really is true that we have to move beyond the past and go boldly into the future. I always try to live by the idea of living from moment to moment, and hearing you say that too was awesome. Keep doing what you do! ;-)

[PerthPete1]

thanks for reminding us that the past does not have to predicate the future.

[slytherinspy1960]

I really can't believe sometimes how much I have changed over the years. it is almost unreal. what you said was so true tyler. i am not the same person i was back then. thanks so much tyler. you just totally made my day. this is definately one of my favorite videos of you.

i love you for real.

[NelliumTheFisherman]

Wow. I made a mistake that totally fit what you described in the beginning. it wasn't an eating disorder, but this was still helpful. Thanks for the amazing advice.

[iloveponyboy123]

you're amazing

[cullenhaleee]

this one really made me think. thanks.(:

[firefly379]

I love you so much more, after watching this. Thanks Tyler.

U really truly are inspirational.

[laurenliciousbaybee]

wow. that really made me think.

i mean i forget about the things that i've done but sometimes i get reminded of them and still beat myself up about it. and sometimes my mom bring up the past and dosen't understand that i've changed.

thanks tyler.

<3 that really made me think about my life.

your amazing.

[seaweedpiano]

hmmmm

I have to go.. think now.

thank you so much!

[polishpickles8086]

Omg this video hit a soft spot..

left me in tears.

You're amazing, I swear.

[martynleon]

I'm so glad to hear you got over the anorexia and feel better because of it! Keep sending these wonderful messages of hope and love!

[BlairTexasRanger]

I think that people should stop dwelling on things the past that they cannot change.

everything that happened THEN, made you who you are NOW.

[shallowheart25]

wow... that was amazing

[pyleofgracie]

Thanks, Tyler. That really helped me out.

[alonelychild]

You should be a psychologist!

[xxxscrubsxx]

This is a great video.

wonderful message.

I don't have any regret to share with you guys.

I'm trying to stop my friends from making huge mistakes, I hope I can before I'm regreting my lack of care for them.

:[ I just don't know how to help.

[IchixNi]

Wow, you made me teary-eyed!

PS - I love pokemon.

[feelthemusic39]

Tyler, i bet you don't even know how much you help us all.

[KaraVeee]

Tyler I love you :]

[nerdra]

Honey, you're amazing. Thank you.

[IzzyR25]

when ever I make a huge mistake i cringe about it for months, till i don't think about it as much. I go through a period where I don't know if I'm a good person or not. In the end though I put it all aside and I'll just be myself. Great video. : )

[ElphieofOz]

Thank you, Tyler.

[Risa4562]

If only everyone could just forgive themselves and others for what they've done and realize it was wrong. :)

Nice vid.

[wrocktastical]

I basically went on a drinking binge for three months- June 24th- September 8th.

[omnitomx]

Wow... I usually just post silly inconsequential comments on your videos... but I think I'll do a real one.

It's scary how similar we are. I recently conquered binge eating, a result of divorced parents and trying to will myself straight. But last year I accepted who I am, and now I'm fully recovered. I live in the now. I don't look back, and I don't fear the future. I think it's great that you posted this video, I think it will do a lot of people a lot of good.

[HistoryRepeated]

I was raped last year, this video made me think of that and I almost cried when I felt a little more of that guilt - the feeling that I let that happen to me - ease off of my shoulders. Thank you for giving me back a bit more of my freedom.

[ilovefulton08]

Tyler

you are great.

[painislove666]

:} i liked it

[simonslap]

ugh

[ZenFishBowl]

your inspirational videos are amazing- you have so much to offer in this world- thank you for sharing

[xe1881]

wow, this was amazing.

[snveitch]

Thank you for both your inspiring courage and honest encouragement.

I think if I could have this playing in my head all day, I could overcome anorexia as well.

[sockswithredstripes]

I'm watching this video every once and a while, just to remember. It's making me cry every time, but it's needed. Thank you for making this video.

[JoJoAlldAii]

go tylerrrrrr!

[looktwiceej]

I absolutely loved this video... thank you so much

[saabdude67]

Dude, your inspirational vids are absolutley amazing! No matter what the topis is, they're all still so close to home. I love them!

And really nice touch by maiing them B&W. Kinda reminds me of those STAND commercials. Cool effect!

[dwnboy15]

your fucking awsome x3

[Emm0r]

I haven't forgiven myself yet. But this video nearly made me cry. Opened my eyes.

[VanityRomance]

you're absolutely lovely. (:

thank you<3

[DanielMaci75]

that was lovely Tyler :)!!

[gravitysong]

Thats a great message. very honest and can help everyone in some way.

[harleyfiona]

Lovely boy.

[VengeanceBlond]

i've really been struggling with trying to forgive myself for some mistakes i've made in the past, so this video means a lot to me. thanks for posting.

[DreamSeeker76]

I've been ashamed that I madeout with this guy I didn't like on the first date and I felt like a slut. I still haven't gotten over it. But at least I do anything that bad.

[neversaynatalie]

Wow. thanks. really. :]

[ILoveNerimon]

I've been suffering from depression for over a year now and I self-harm. As a result of that, I'm hurting not only myself, but the people closest to me. I guess that's something that only I can help myself with, though.

[HxChristen]

I'm so glad you over came anorexia.! I'm still working on that mistake.

[brittanybush1]

aw you're the bestest tyler <33

[julielikestowagewar]

this is such a good video, i kind of want to cry now, but i really liked it.

[dibdab269]

well done x

[darkerca]

thanks ... i needed that ... i rlly did

[blackhoodielove]

thank you so much tyler.

i really needed that...

:]

[VegetarianPride]

omgosh! I did not know you were anarexic!!

I have made so many mistakes. I try to live in the now but...I just do not know how to...

I was seriously depressed for about 2 years, I gained so much weight. I havent been depressed this year and I have lost 50 pounds. But I feel myself falling back into depression. and some times I go on food binges and the next day or two I do not eat. Tyler can you help me??

[triggering01]

My mistake to let myslef become Anorexic and that I didn't stopped myself and collected my thoughts before it realy went out of hand.

[DottieCVaughn]

Wow..This video really helped me. I see that you have gotten over 300 replies to this, but...one more is warranted. Thank you for being you!

[hieisgal]

Wow... this video actually had me crying by the end. Thanks Tyler. You're amazing.

[karmarmil]
