Emotional Independence.

[anabanna87]

I know that I shouldn't lean on my friends too much, but honestly I don't think I would have some of the very close relationships with my friends if I didn't lean in times of need. My friends know that they can always talk to me, about anything, anytime.

[DimNeverEnds]

[SexyRaww]

There is nothing more amazing than sharing a deeply connected giving friendship. True friends pick up their friends when they're sad, not beat them up even more.

[cocamojo1]

panda bear??

[mangafan051]

I'm confused as to whether that was a rant or a speech...

[AllieMaireOgle]

U got a good point i thought u was some gay slut

[CallMeEuphoria]

216 people have to cling to another person to surive from one day to the next. Be your own life coatch, pussies!

[alyssie3]

What you just said is the absolute truth.

[ZacEfronLuva1295]

[CourtneyIsh68]

[stixwithpix]

[BubbleChick09]

[ivybaby100]

i love u !!!! ur freakin amazing!!

[ringosan8035]

나는 당신을 사랑한다!!!

[AinsleyAnimal]

CRIS CROCKER. you're fucking amazing. And i would write a long ass paragraph about this video, but bluntly, i dont think anyone will read it. In fact, i dont think anyone will read this. But your confidence oozes out of the video and into my 14 year old girl heart. I care WAYY to much about what people think. Thanks for opening my eyes:]

[jadeNalxx]

this is the first guy i hav seen that is this pretty (:

[MaxieMead18]

I realy like your videos, you make so much sence, your like a leader for those who are confused and cant find a way, you set us back up on our feet and we find our own way, your like a flame from a candle, the candle would not be of much use without the flame now would it.

[houk10]

your videos give me a lot of courage, for real.

[JonsGreekGirl]

You do have some sense in you, you are not just a pretty guy/girl. I'm glad I find you :-)

[tiffyj85]

Yeah.. don't care about what others think, do what you want, and be happy. Cause you only get one life, don't waste it and when you're old, you're going to wish you did things differently and did what you want. Because you missed out on being trully happy.

[200kevn]

Thank you for this video. Its like u have to hear it from an other person. Always watch ur videos. they have helped for support, guidance, and even when i just need an fucking good laugh. Thank u Chris. I ran into u once at house of blues in Anna Heim CA like when we was 19 i think (yes were the same age, hoe lol. I was drunk as hell. hope we bump into each other once again. I've grown to love you (on youtube) Ur a beautiful person, and i wish you every happiness. thank u Love Kevin

[AllyCatPufs]

I love you.! ;))

[Bracerjack]

Thank you, this is one of the most valuable things I have heard.

I am adding this to my favorite.

[graceluvsyu]

Watching your video i realize. I dont have friends, and im not happy, and i blame it on not having friends, and i complain to myself that i end up pushing people away and i dont know why, or they say they want to help me, because im so sad, but they dont help me, and while watching your video, i understand that unless i make myself happy, unless i can do half the work, they cant meet me halfway. Chris, You are my god, my guide to life.

[EriGotMeWearin]

You kinda look like britney s. xx

[Unlovedmutant]

Spoken true x

[Nikki94xx]

"friends can make you happy... but at the end of the day they cant make you."

love <3 this is so true

[sweetggb]

Dear Chris Thank you..U r so right...

[bigtimerushlove890]

yur right chris

[Adamalgorithm]

@Evalynnable perhaps you should take up her advice and not give too much weight to what she says, but think for yourself. Do not rely on her too much... because a lot of what she says is selfish and detrimental to human happiness.

[nontoxicheartstrings]

the message you said in this video I understand and good for you for saying this, but if you said less agressivly (or crazy) and more calm, im sure more people would listen :) not being rude, I am just saying.

[Adamalgorithm]

holy shit this woman is crazy. I am scared

[stephen22564]

they can also make you sad when they let you down

at the end of the day JESUS is our only unconditional and reliable friend

[shay7x122]

r u a gay?!!?!?!?!?!?????

[Obliviateable]

@shay7x122 He is

[darlingles]

you speak the truth, couldnt give a fuck about what you wear or your sexuality, your smart! i agree with every word..

[gebbybebby]

[SharEater]

This video just made my day...! <3

[BreakingtheSilencex]

@SharEater sameee! :D <3

[SuperMoyoYoyo]

[iBeastly619]

[YellowSumbmarineney]

damn i felt like you where talking to me face to face. Speak the truth Chris :)

[baseballrocksduds]

YOU AINT MY MOM AND STOP FEELING BAD FOR UR SELF

[simfan3000]

@baseballrocksduds fuck you

[wangzongxiang123]

[3v3d1]

i agreee!!

[wolfwolfenstein]

I LOVE YOU

[ZackfanRikkulover]

Wooo! Speak the truth!

[ClassicDisneyLove]

fuck chris is such a pretty woman.

[GumiYummi]

Dude calm ur butt down. If they wanna depend on their friends LET THEM!!! it's not ur decision how they live there life.

[MusikkIzMiLiffee]

I understand completely because I have had these problems before. I'm only in grade 8 lol.. but I used to have a lot of problems with friendship and all i would do is go on and on to friends about this girl that made me mad. I would constantly TRY to make them be on my side about the person. And they stopped helping, because they got so tired of it. But now i'm a better person with more friends than ever. thanks chris :)!!

[811LuvMichaelJackson]

am i the only one who thinks he looks absolutely terrifying at 0:54? psst a little too much yelling.

[HeyItsMarz]

That's so true....

[HeyItsMarz]

@fapercino. He is a dude u realize.

[fappercino]

@HeyItsMarz Duhh. Anyway, I can 'tug' to a fully made-up Chris Crocker if I want to.

And besides, at 1.07 he advises that I should not depend on friends for a penis.

So I don't. I stand tall and hold my own.

[fappercino]

(...thank God no-one saw me jerking off to this hotty. My gf would be furious)

>:-o

[buddah420ism]

you make me happy!!!LMFAO

[aznboy1234455]

[MeganMayhem93]

its so true, it gets so annoying, even when u want to help, sometimes they have to help themselves. u cant do it all, u can only help.

[heidi10056]

i dont get it arnt friends there when u need u

[RandomEvey98]

@heidi10056 they are, he's just saying do what you want instead of asking your friendss

[RyukRasenganable]

[fahyshane]

You know what? YOU are really cool! AND, you are hot. You emanate a real energy.

[lillyplayford]

dont tell me what to do. lol

[Dramafreakgagagleek]

@DclaireTheWinner ok sorry i really understand what ur saying but please youtube is not for rudeness leave badgirlsrule123 alone she happends to be my bff so whatever i get but i dont think that chris is right right now on this so idk what else to say ....

[msraymond]

You are telling the absolute truth in this video Chris! Ppl need to start depending on themself and not look for someone else to fix u.

[BadGurlzRule123]

THIS IS FREAKIN BULLSHIT FRIENDS ARE TILL THE END OK BITCH FOR ONE BEST FRIEND DEPEND ON ONE ANOTHER......OK AND ONE OTHER THING BITCH FRIENDS CAN BE IN FIGHTS AND THEY CAN MAKE UP ITS CALLED BEING MORE BEST FRIENDS OMFG GET UR FACTS RIGHT AND BUT I STILL LOVE CHRIS BUT THIS CHRIS HAS CHANGED I WANT THE OLD CHRIS

[DclaireTheWinner]

@BadGurlzRule123 Capital letters = not necessary. Justsayin. And also, (s)he's not saying that you can't have best friends. The point of this is that you shouldn't validate your opinion by other people, even if they are your best friends. If all of your opinions of yourself are coming from your best friend, you're loosing your identity. Having a best friend's opinion and basing your own opinion from that are two completely different entities. You need to stop and think for a second. Kthanksbye:)

[BadGurlzRule123]

THIS IS FREAKIN BULLSHIT FRIENDS ARE TILL THE END OK BITCH FOR ONE BEST FRIEND DEPEND ON ONE ANOTHER......OK AND ONE OTHER THING BITCH FRIENDS CAN BE IN FIGHTS AND THEY CAN MAKE UP ITS CALLED BEING MORE BEST FRIENDS OMFG GET UR FACTS RIGHT

[marijana12]

[zamone]

Anyone noticed how much he sounds like that chick from Westboro Baptist Church from 00:50? Mate, you need to stop acting like you're forcing your opinions on people and like you're the only one that's right. You think people havn't thought of this s#!t already? If it was easy as "Stop doing it" then why do you think it happens? With what I've watched of your videos it seems like: "These people think they have it so hard, but really it's me who does" Well, diddums You look pretty well off to me

[zamone]

[2011FanJonas]

oh my god. I agree.. I so agree! I listened to that and I liked it. I'm seriously gonna stop depending too much on my bff!

[Harazusa]

i just pause somewhere... and it's the funniest thing i've eva seen.

[jrdkitty]

[6heart6breaker6]

[paypayisyeah]

[msraymond]

Love the message of this video! I wish ppl knew what independence was. You don't have to rely on anyone for your self-worth

[XxXSmileenXxX]

I love this...you're completely right. Brilliant Video.

[MultiBlahblahblah13]

having good friends to help u is NOT bad

[saveoursouls924]

@MultiBlahblahblah13 he's not saying it is, he's saying that if you constantly need someone there, then what's your own mind and body for?

[GottaloveNicole]

Great point! 100% correct!!!

[msraymond]

damn preach chris! preach!

[hearttopmodel05]

Yep. Friends are great, but they'll leave you. Family's great, but even they'll leave you. The only person in the world you have control over whether or not they'll always be there for you, is you♥

[fearlessgirl100]

i agree with u 100% !

[InfinityInferior]

[jocey844]

[Wackadossical]
