  • you sound just like me. it's nice to hear it come from another person. this video gives me hope. so, thank you.

  • I respect you. All the way from Australia. You seem like a lovely guy with his head screwed on. I wish only the best for you and you will find that guy. xox

  • You are a very beautiful person.

  • who does not like a guy that shows emotion!!!! that's is one of many things it take to form a base to a relationship

  • Brendan. I just want to say you have alot going for you and dont worry so much. Respect you give and good for you but never think that you will always get it back. There are ppl that have class and feelings and ppl who dont. But then we come back to the old saying. what comes around goes around. You have alot going for you. Just a tip.

  • I just wanted for you to know that I feel exactly the same as you. I don't always show the respect and courtesy, as you describe, because I've gotten so disheartened with seeing how so many others carry themselves in such disrespectful ways. A lot of the time, I ask myself what's the point of showing courtesy to others if I get none in return? And then I see videos like yours and it gives me hope that there are others out there who do care. So, thank you for helping to re-energize me.

  • -3

  • This is really powerful and you sound really hurt in this video, but I hope you have moved on. I really like how passionate you are about life and the horrible things people do! Talk to me sometime haha.

  • who would blow you off?! O_o

  • great video brendan! it was powerful, and you expressed yourself hole heartily. =) your a gentleman!

  • You could play a vampire.

  • I love you <3

  • Thank you Brendan. You're such a good person and you make so much sense :) I feel like that sometimes too. Sometimes I feel that people don't appreciate me even when I've given them everything, but at the end of the day I should still feel heartened that I am being a better person and I have treated them with respect. Thanks for the lesson Brendan, you're great :) x

  • your so gorgeous, i love your emotion. i hope by now you have found someone who respects you. also, you look like Mason from that disney show Wizards of waverly place

  • I remember me 2 years ago explaining exactly what Brandon said in Philosophy subject :). It was a school work about a shortbook called "Amar o depender" (Love or depend?, by Walter Riso), if you are interested in that issue... I think it's worth XD

  • @colerbomb I agree !

  • Brendan, I don't know if you already have but if you haven't could you give us your twitter or facebook ? I love your videos I've watched them all, you should post more often. Kisses from Brazil (:

  • I have a friend I kinda like, and this whole video reminds me of him! I get that he works a bunch, but so do I. I have to text him 3-5 times just to get a text back and even then its maybe a 5 letter word...

  • You are a very handsome, sweet and passionate guy. I just want to say that, you know, you can't really change other people, but you can learn from your experiences. When we feel disappointed, it's because we had unrealistic expectations in the first place. If you have negative feelings about a relationships with someone, it can be very constructive to ask yourself, how could I have approached that situation differently? Were there clear signs that I ignored? How can I grow from this?

  • wouderfully said Breden and i hope get respect

  • Beautifully said Breden :) I am an a English scholar for my school I could not have put it better myself , you are going to be an amazing actor and I'm waiting to see you in the major tabloids across the pond in England. In my eyes respect is something I give to those I deem worthy of it, I do acknowledge other people even my bullies/friends whom I hold in little regard. In summary, all beautifully spoken and I could feel the passion rolling of you. Thank you form me :?

  • Gawd you are beautiful. I can't hear a word your saying because I'm too busy checking you out. Anyway, I can't imagine ANYONE blowing you off. You are so beautiful and true. What a loser whoever it was.

  • love the way you think. unfortunately here in the future people like you dont really exist.

  • respect is the one thing in life that can enriching every ones life and make the world a better place. If someone dose not return respect or is not considerate its not your job to tell them. Respect must also be earned is some cases. I love it that you bring up this topic. I for one think is is awesome that someone else my age actually cares about others and respect them. I respect you for dong this. I know it cant change your life but hopefully it makes you or some one else smile.

  • Love takes a long time.

  • Truth. Respect is very powerful and people in today's society are losing site of that. I agree with you and think that more people need to be more socially aware of what is and what is not acceptable. I think you do a good job of presenting yourself and expressing exactly how you feel, even if people think you are too emotional or sensitive. You're HUMAN, don't change. Stay true to you, I'm sure you plan on it :)

  • Maybe, if you are looking for a soulmate, set a few things straight from the beginning...Talk to people what it sex/ intimacy and respect actually means for you. And take it slow... If the guy really cares for you, he wont mind keeping his pants on a few weeks more, so to speak.

  • you would make a really good actor , i like how you have that twigity awkward sense to you ;)

  • I don't know why but, He reminds me of Gregg Sulkin from Wizards of Waverly Place

  • i have always believed that the least you could do is acknowledge anothers humanity. you don't have to like them or agree with their opinions, but confirm that their exsistence has some value.

  • I love your emotion! Your a great person! I wish more people around me though like you :]

  • yow!! we should have live webcam chat and know each other nd from there we could go on knowing each other more OR just stop. LOL

  • Stay strong Brendan. Your one of the few, who still has a soul. :)

  • I really love how open and honest you are... especially on a public forum. You remind me of myself in so many ways I love watching your videos. I've been hurt a few really bad times too by people who I came to find out hated themselves so much I wound up feeling sorry for them. I wish I could just wrap you up in a big hug!

  • I have got to say that I absolutely ADORE the passion and emotion and feeling you put into everyone single one of your videos. you've definitely made a fan in me. Every single one of your videos makes me want to shed a tear. both sad and happy. Keep 'em coming! haha you make me want to make videos. Just too shy to do it. <3 :)

  • That is why you always date someone that wants you more than you want them and respect I think is the older generation trait but if you are talking about respect relationship wise, then that is a different kettle of fish.

  • I know — it really sucks to be hurt. Don't give up.

    This may not remove the sting, but I can tell you that I've seen that one reason why someone behaves like a jerk is that he actually sees himself as a worthless piece of trash, and acts rudely so that others will stay away from him. Bad behavior can be attempt to cover up for someone's own insecurity.

    In other words, while it may sound clichéd, it may actually be him, and not you.

  • Wow, you've just explained exactly what I'm thinking and how I feel! You've also cheered me up a bit :') thanks! Xxx

  • I appreciate how distressing it can be when you feel you care more than others. I wish more people were as dedicated to respect as yourself. Don't let them get you down. You are more powerful when you are overflowing with joy. Having seen some of your other videos, I think most people watching can appreciate your inner beauty and can see the deeply passionate and truly adorable person that you are. Keep smiling. Stay kind and be patient. You will get your due.

  • Hey Brendan sorry for your loss. Hope this helps a little but really try to keep in mind that this situation is more about them than you. This person obviously has issues and doesn't apprreciate what they've lost. In order to love someone else (which includes respect) they must first have to love themselves. Keep smiling and learn from the situation and feel a little pity for someone sooo stupid.

  • Point throughly explained about being respectful =) I like it. Also, another thing that annoys me when u text someone and their response is either "ok" "yeah" or like "lol". That is annoying. Respect to me is a big issue. I do my best to show people respect, however, as some people believe in the Golden Rule, i try to do that. I'll make a video response to express myself about your video =) typing is complicated sometimes. Cheers!

  • I know I probably sound shallow when I say this, but Brendan got dumped...you're better off without a guy that treats you like trash. Better to do it sooner than later.

  • i agree with you too. like i will be with my boyfriend and he is like texting and talking with his friends and i am like wtf i am here with you why are you talking to other people. and also he sometimes doesn't even bother to text me because he is too tired or he is busy or he is with his friends. idk but i think he is totally worng and i just feel like he doesn't pay enough attention to me and i sometimes feel under appreciated :(

    tell me what i can do.

  • sometimes, the one who has the power in the relationship isn't necessarily the stronger on. the one who's willing to fall harder, the one who's willing to care more is braver, has more will-power, and deserves the fruits of the relationship in my opinion. i share the same sentiment that the world is slowly losing its fundamental ideals of respect. no one is forced to love each other, but to merely degrade society to a point where we blatantly disrespect each other is just sad.

  • any guy would be such a fool to lose you.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for making this video! It really got me thinking, both on my own actions and those of some people around me. To show respect and to take the time for other people is really one of the simplest and most important messages in life, and yet it's rarely remembered - so thank you!

    I think this is the first time i'm commenting, but each of your videos always manage to hit deep with me, so don't you dare stop making them ;) Take care! =)

  • You are a wonderful person and your really beautiful!

  • how hot can u be?? ahhaha seriouslly... wow!

  • Excuse the shallowness of this comment but I like how you have no dark circles under your eyes at all hah. And also karma will eventually pay it back to you and you'll find an amazing person that you clearly deserve.

  • Brendan... I appreciate your video and your sincerity. If there were only one additional item could share it would be: "Expectations often lead to disappointment." To briefly expound: In my experience I too have expected where the respect, consideration, and appreciation I projected toward others was not reciprocated; hence disappointment and a sense of deficit. Perhaps this experience could help you tune yourself to detect one's lack of respect sooner to avoid disappointment. Much love.

  • why the fuck has this guy not been picked up by a modeling agency. PS, dont give everything away in the first few moments of your first relationship. It can be easy to get lost the first time someone accepts you ie keep your guard up son.

  • WOW, You must have been hurt a lot. :)

  • ur so dramatic!

  • Respect, respect, respect.....it IS the most important thing and leads to great relationships. Everything you said was right on the nail. When 2 guys respect each other it is WONDERFUL.

  • Hang in there - you have a lot to give someone, and it's going to be amazing when you find someone who's as passionate about a relationship as you are. People can take advantage of that, so be grateful at least that you weren't more involved with this guy. I'm always afraid of being in a relationship and realizing that I feel more for him than he does for me - it's a slap in the face and makes you feel worthless. Don't get jaded, and keep looking for a guy who's as compassionate as you..

  • Yes! I subscribed a couple of weeks ago and you've already made two new videos... Keep them coming; I think you could be an inspiration to a lot more people than you already are! :) thanks for the videos.

  • OMG you described my life and my last relationship entirely. Thank you for this, at least I feel a little better knowing it's not just me who went through this.

  • VERY PRETTY!!!! But yeah, hang in there....

  • You're pretty but maybe a bit too emotional...

  • @agoddamnscreenname Noo...i'm very much well aware of my feelings When I let people in my life I value them completely, and if they just treat me bably...well that's going to hurt my feelings. So I just wanted to express myself. That's all.

  • @powerfirst Awesome Brendan. Totally Awesome. I have only watched 2 of your vids so far, the one on love and this one. I will watch the rest as well. I just wanted to say, I think your vids are refreshingly honest and appear quite sincere. Two thumbs up my friend. peace...Rob....P.S Did you relocate to another province yet? I hope not Toronto, lots of gay people here, but damn many are so stuck up and hurtful...not all, but many, before I get chewed out by someone else form Toronto. .:)

  • @agoddamnscreenname I don't see him as too emotional at all. In my opinion he is a young man who is HONEST and gives me the impression he is extremely loyal. He is "pretty" as you say, I am not sure if you were saying that to suggest he is feminine or not, but I can tell you this, I am not "pretty" and I completely appreciate every word he is saying. I feel exactly how he does. The world today is full of pompous selfish and disrespectful people, quite frankly it could use many more Brendans.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this video ( : I totally agree with you about what you said! You seem like an amazing person!

  • I love you! *hugs*

  • I think maybe you give someone respect and then hope they reciprocate and earn your trust as well. It's really tough when you put your heart out there and get dissed in return - especially when you're a young and 'expressive, honest, passionate person.' But you have to keep trying and also learning with each new experience about what kind of person you want to be with and what you can do to make the relationship work.

  • @trisshandy Thank you. That means a lot to me.

  • Comment removed

  • we spend time together everyday i took my time seeing him, txting him, making dates. etc and the busy things god i agree with u! D: ahhhhhh but i love the video <3

  • AGREE AGREE i sooooo AGREE. I was in a relationship it was great, but he broke up with me giving me stupid excuses and me trying to stay friends because i cared about this person but he acted like an ass and told me he said we were never friends in the first place it really hurt me and did not respect my feelings at all it was just awful :I

  • I'm glad that you are so open!!! And express what you truely feel I really like that about you. Your not fake like alot of people are.

  • you seem like such a good friend, i wish i had met you in real life!

  • I agree with you like, when I am someone is texting and I am trying to talk to them and they are not listening or paying any attention to anyone around them. I think it is pure crap. I mean that is like the worse thing. People have disrespected me I have tried again to give and I found out I was wasting my time. The one thing I hate is when someone things they are better than me. That gets on me.

  • @Whiteboymdew I understand you completely!

  • @powerfirst Sometimes its just best to like walk away.

  • That was beautiful and true, thank you.

  • OMG your such a human being .... IT SICKENS ME ! why you so human! man oh man!

  • @nikinack That parts true haha

    

  • omg your such an actor ... but I totally agree with the respect thing I dont understand people who show none

  • @adamblogsyou Actually more to the point...I'm not just an "Actor". I'm more of an expressive, honest, passionate person. An actor has to do with the stage, theatre, performing, film, and other creativty.
