JoshuaDTV is a place where you can be yourself and be accepted for it. I believe in love and a lot of my content reflects that. Life isn't always fair or kind...but if we continue to strive for the good...if we continue to get back up after being knocked down... what can stop us from being the best version of ourselves? Don't just survive...THRIVE. Be Nice to People.

- KingGordon: Dude, stop playing to the 13 year olds. There are adults that watch YouTube too....
- heyoshenanigans: Interestingly enough, my friend recommended a similar idea to me awhile ago, but I was scared because people would REALLY get to see me for me. I've always struggled to be what people want me to be, because I like to be liked. Proud of you!
- Elsa Loves: your hair is on point
- erika reyna: "Some child that you never knew" Jesse from PvP
- VenayCute: Did Josh lose weight
- Carissa Whitney: this is hands down the best video i have seen on youtube in a long time. you spoke with such passion and eloquence. your words felt effortless and genuine. 🙌🏻👏🏻
- Olivia Thompson: Awesome. Just Awesome. PS. love the hair.
- sinful: Josh is such a strong, pure, genuine, human being and I swear I'll be his fan until the very end. He's truly the best.
- Ishipishixx: With ''not OK'', is he referring to his divorce..?
- Sara Sanchez: love you josh!!! thanks for keeping it real
- treadahl: like your hair
- Jessica Jackson: Eyes are the windows to the souls. I do not presume to know you, however, I believe you are genuinely a good person with a loving heart and beautiful soul. Everything's going to be okay. In Gods time, not your time. You're loved, and it's going to be fine. Head up and keep smiling.
- Ekta Chavan: Ah Finally!!!!!! One of the very few youtubers that keeps it real AND makes sense!!! God, do I love you or what? You are like a breath of fresh air, Josh. Breath of fresh air! <3
- im lame: here at 39 views!! uploaded a minute ago
- Kaylee Marie: I loved his message, I recently became a subscriber when I saw his music videos! He's such a good singer! But damn does he look really hot in this. Ok bye👋🏼
- Kristy Joy: first video of yours i ever "liked" and i will subscribe cause you are being authentic. I want you to kno it's appreciated and the fake Ness needed to go. Just be you ❤
- Em Queller: Good. The previous "Josh" that you presented was too "Josh The Performer" for me. But I adore your sister and always wished that her down-homeness would rub off on you. I like this Josh, today, way more real - even your hair is more relaxed and looks fantastic. Keep it up dude.
- Heather O'Day: BTW a quick addendum to my prior comment- it's OK to not be okay and it's totally OK to not fix it all right away. When the time is right everyone will find their own growth.
- monaxac: puppet
- # loserteam: I want to take the time to tell you thank you, for being you and being honest. The world needs more people like you Josh..
- Sam C.: Great video Josh, proud of ya! thanks for the just be you encouragement, I've been needing that for a while :))
- lsw t: ps. i really like your hair in this video
- Pip: Preach!
- rdidri: I'm excited about this new chapter of your life journey!
- Small Poppy: you are awesome JoshuaDTV
- Nick Sheldon: Josh I couldn't possibly love this any more if I tried!!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
- Danielle Paige: Josh. that was so inspirational so, uplifting. thank you! you have helped me see the light in darkness. because there is nobody you should try and be ,but yourself.:) I feel like every YouTube community is like a family . when I watch a favourite YouTuber,I feel like I could have a normal conversation like you and your best friend would have. You tube isn't just a place where you post videos, it is a place where we can grow as a family.
- Raye: bottom line you don't owe us a dam thing. this channel needs to be what you want it to be. it's YOUR creative outlet not ours. you do you josh :)
- Bernard Mel: you got this Josh!
- Esrea CityLights: Love you Josh!! You are amazing!! I support you and will continue to watch you. 💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺BE YOU AND ONLY YOU! BE TRUE TO YOURSELF AND YOUR HEART.
- Rosieboo65: You rock Josh! What you portray on YT is what your young viewers may see as the example of how to deal with tough times. You're a role model whether you intend to be or not. Showing authenticity is key for survival. No young person should think what you went through was easy and you bounced back immediately. Life is a journey of bumps and potholes. But it's worth the ride.
- Finola: Hi 👋🏻
- Mayte Ornelas: Proud of you bud <3
- Hannah West: So much respect. defaintly relate to this but thank you for being honest and real. always support you.
- Basia Says: I always loved your vlogs when you would just do random things but you could tell it was the real you. They were so entertaining and fun. I'm excited to see these new videos!
- Sara Baker: so raw and real. love this and think your doing a great thing.
- paigee: we love you 💟
- Lively Sun: Being authentic is a struggle for everyone I think. I have been a people pleaser for most of my life because I wanted to be accepted. But what I found was that I was losing myself and my true identity in my relationships all because I wanted to be liked, but I hated myself for changing my personality all the time to feed the needs of others. For a time I couldn't even be real because I forgot what that was. I am still learning who I am as a person without the mask I put on for others. I love watching YouTube not because you all are perfect, but because I can see the idiosyncrasies of a person and relate and see them as human. The goal for authenticity in the youtube community will merely be a manifestation of what we as humans strive for on a daily basis. I think this content you are planning will be refreshing of which we all can relate to. And thank you for reminding me that it is OK to just be. <3
- Clay Joh: your sister seems like she it totally true to herself .. just follow her footsteps. Good video/start
- Lizzie's Life: Good for you!
- Brittany Logan: Josh, I love you bro, but you over think the YouTube "appropriate" behavior so much. Who cares what the rules are or aren't in YouTube or Twitter or whatever. I understand that as a YouTuber and a public personality, there are some rules for you that are different than that apply for the normal every day person. But you need to be yourself. If people unsubscribe, who cares? Will it be the end of your world? Being true to yourself is so much more valuable than subscribers or even those ever elusive YouTube bucks. Embrace "you" with confidence and have faith that there are people who will connect with and support your genuine self. More power to you for deciding to take control and fix what you're unhappy with. I truly hope that this brings you some peace. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon.
- Leah Hill: I'm not okay either Josh
- Isabel: You go man good for you ❤ much love josh
- Pandas Adventures: ❤❤❤❤
- Sheila Helland: way to go!!
- walkerspinden: This video just got even MORE incredible when I saw Netflix in the background. Love you josh!! Stay strong my man you are such an inspiration to a lot of people!!💛💛
- blessedarethebroken: Nice!
- Chloe Crotts: Josh, I'm really glad you made this video. I've been worried about you for a while because I was noticing that in your videos you were acting happy, but not the way you were. And it made me very sad. I've been praying for you for the whole seven months and I'm so glad you finally said all this. I hope you succeed in being more authentic and I want you to know that, for me at least, this is the kind of video we really want. We don't want you to be fake happy, we want you to be real because we really do care about you. Sorry this was super long but I just wanted to say that and I hope you have a great day. :)
- My Duyen Huynh: I like how Netflix is on in the background.
- Taylor Reese: Thank you!!! I think the world needs to understand that in order to do anything of value in this life You have to be You and only You!!! Thank you for attempting to be a role model by which we viewers can watch and learn from!! I know it won't be easy but you have us and we have You!! God Bless!!
- Zillionwwefan Talks: msCourtneymayk your missing the message he's trying to say
- Braygthecray: This inspired me so much. I might be coming down with depression and everyday I'm sad. My best friend moved 3000 miles away to another country. I knew her since grade three.(I'm in grade seven now) she was the on,y person I hang out with. Now at recesses I sit alone on the bench reading a book. I carry a smile on my face everyday, but really I'd rather cry. I'm not okay. THANK YOU JOSH💖
- Beth Green: Love you loads
- Saima Firoj: thank you for making this. excited to see where you go. love u
- JKLVideos: I will fully support you Josh❤ I can't wait to know more about the real you!
- Samantha Joy: I'm proud of you, man. It takes a lot to get to the point where you're willing to just be. :)
- Angelina Stardust: I love watching people who are real and to be honest I've been subscribed but I haven't watched you very often because it felt fake , only when the devorce came about did I feel like you were more real so I'm here now and I'm looking forward to seeing what you post. 😊
- Leah Ehm: And ppl ask all the time YouTube and y I am obsessed with YouTubers "you can't actually be obsessed with someone u have never met " well I actually can and that is because of you-tubers like you that are true and loving.
- Emilie Belanger: This is awesome!! Good job josh :)
- ErBear Barkwell: Just be.
- Lucy Heaney: I have never told anyone this and I need to get it off my chest. I am part of a tragic love story, where a boy and girl are best friends during childhood but then start to drift. We are still friends but every night I dream about his eyes and I can read his name in the stars. Some people would say 7 years of liking/loving this guy is pathetic and others would say this is cute, go for it. I would but there is one major problem.. his religion. He is a Christian which would be okay but the family is serious about this religion and if he was to ever be with someone like me (someone outwith his religion) he would be disowned. My parents also said that I would never be allowed to marry someone who is religious. I am also questioning my beliefs, though my parents think it is only stupidity that makes us believe in religions (so not true). Though they upset me with this, they are amazing parents and I love them very much. Someone help. This is stuff I can't even tell my best friend. Or my sister. Or y parents. Or him. Help. Please
- Laura J: "Just be..." I needed that. Thank you. Can't wait for these new types of vids.
- Nyachieng Nhial: Hi
- Luna and Estrella: I love you josh youve been real to me! You are the bomb and yeah were not perfect but youre life makes us happy and your attitude! That one time I saw you at Addison I almost cried because I saw and met you. You are the best to me ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
- Holly E: I resonate with everything you're saying so so much. Only in the past few months have I realised that I have lived my life projecting a persona that isn't one hundred percent me - I mould myself to be what I assume other people expect me to be based off of my exterior appearance and my social circle. Lately I have tried the whole "just be" thing, and I can whole heartedly say I have never felt more connected to my emotions and the people around me more. This is the reason why Josh has always been the YouTuber I never lose interest in, the way he isn't afraid to be authentic and real. Keep doing what you're doing man!
- Zoe Rose1: I'm so proud of you for posting this, also your hair looks awesome😂❤
- It's me, Maddie G: I'm so disappointed with the divorce 😭
- Adriana Hernandez: you're amazing Josh ❤
- Kat: Good for you Josh!! You are an amazing guy, you should be who you are. The people who love you for who you are will always be there. You should always love what you do, so be yourself. I can't wait to see what you do next.
- I like food and stuff it's good: Audrey Wilson uhh ur 10
- joaquin Gutierrez: love u josh your doing great 💜💜💜
- Ansley Langham: Thanks for bringing up a tough but important topic on this platform. Can't wait for new content.
- C C: Your hair looks better this way btw
- Lisa Marquez: FINALLY! Ya'll mention the word that is not to be mentioned. I think the most fake thing ya'll has ever done is to go thru the this huge traumatic life changing event and act like it never happened. You guys don't owe us anything but to expect to share your life with us and then never address the end of that life together is ridiculous. Super proud of you. Being authentic has got to be the hardest thing to do especially in the public eye. So I guess it comes down to who u want to be. Personally I feel being vulnerable and being able to speak about the bad times and not just the good allows your life, your testimony to make a difference in your life and others. Transparency is the key to transformation. Let yourself heal and allow your self to break so you can put yourself together.
- Nya Mair: I dont really know what to say to this other than, you put it in such a passionate, simple way, I feel like most of the time, you're the most passionate youtuber on youtube, I probably speak for all of your viewers when I say I'm proud of you for how far you've come, and I appreciate your willingness to change. I will never unsubscribe to you, I love you Joshua.
- Jane Review: Stop by the bakery We love you!!!
- msCourtneymayk: not true for all of youtube. watch doddleoddle. she is real and that's why she's my favorite
- sally: Youtubes only show you what they want ... I'll never get people who jump to defend youtubers when they don't know them and don't know they honestly couldn't care less .... your just a number guys CALM THE FUCK DOWN
- Halle Berry: Hey I love you stay strong and stay true to yourself!!!
- Josabeth Chacon: Stay strong Josh. Be true to yourself. You have a lot of people supporting you!
- Nina Willie: Josh I commend you! I really do I have so much respect for you and guys like Jesse Wellens. I as a viewer like to see the true individual that's creating the content I'm watching... I want to see that authenticity from the YouTuber regardless of what you do in you're life or how you live it. If I vibe with you and you're real I'm gonna watch that's it. So I totally look forward to this new approach and can't wait to see what you bring to the table. I haven't always been a fan as I'm semi new been watching for about a year but I gotta say more more as I watch you the more more I really enjoy your videos through the good and the bad.... You're a respectable guy just trying to get through this thing called life and I like how you're handling yourself and being honest. Kudos buddy.... I'm excited to see what's to come and maybe we can all help each other out one day at a time get this journey we are all on.
- Jocelyn Rose: LOVE this! You're amazing, dude.
- Kallan Thomas: Thank you, Josh. YOU ARE SO LOVED
- amber81588: It's about time josh. Good for you. I think this is the right step for you and for your healing process.
- aye michaela: EARLYYY
- Orsi Dirda: We all play different parts in different areas of our lives. Why would youtube be different? Not saying don't try to change it, just that it's human nature. Go easier on yourself. :)
- Kayley Huebner: I'm so proud of you your a amazing love you😇
- Sydni McClanahan: JoshuaDTV yo josh. feel better bro ❤
- Jerrica Perry: no you did not sign up for slander. you are a good person josh
- shannon M: this was so raw and inspiring!! really glad that im not the only person who feels like the youtube community could be a little more dimensional and show a little more REALNESS in their vids. there's a fine balance, for sure, and it's something that IM currently struggling with...but im wiling to keep working on it:) btw, beardless josh is a very good look hahaha
- Rosie 37: be yourself Josh, love your videos!! alas watching from Michigan. ❤ you!!!
- Amanda Marshall: going through divorce is hard... I had a divorce at 21.. so hard and I didnt think id make it.. but honestly, friends and famiky helped the most. I was upfront with everyone and made my divorce public with those I knew. I think youre so strong and you WILL make it.
- Nicole B: It was so nice to finally hear the divorce mentioned again since they told us about it. I personally feel like it's been treated like there's never been a josh+colleen
- Victoria Jennings: This is a very powerful message. I wish everyone would be 100% them. Most you tubers are role models to a lot of young people. If they are pretending to be like what they think the general public will accept then that steers the audience ( young people ) in the same direction. I really believe if you stick to this theme, it will create a lot of good.
- Jenny Goodman: Real authenticity. So refreshing.
- Sara Rabbermann: So proud of you josh, I love this
- Claire Felipe: so proud of you :))
- Ginna a: No MCR references?? Really??
- aye michaela: I freakin love you
- Lily Gr: Wow we ❤️️ YOU!!!!!!!

- Naomi Ost: That was the most incredible video I've ever watched genuinely... to watch someone be so strong and confident in being not ok and not caring about what that meant for his publicity was so inspiring. Keep it up x
- Brenna Neyen: Stop disliking that his videos if you don't like them then just don't watch them it's simple please it's just rude😡👊🏻
- Stephanie Johnson: I haven't watched this video yet but I know I will continue to support you with everything . ❤️ #IStandWithJosh
- officialwillowtree81: I love you.
- megan baldwin: i looked through the comments to find my chemical romance references and there is almost none.
- Carla Atalla: this is by far the most attractive he's ever been. personality and looks-wise. keep it up josh!
- HerRoyalPugness: I'm so proud of him. This takes a lot of guts.
- Pryanka Rasa: this is a really good video. wow!
- Faith Anne Richardson: Kathy Van Maaren if i were to guess it's a little bit of both for him. that's what i understood from the video!
- Ryan Stevenson: I hope you feel better, I can only imagine how hard it is when you have so many people watching and the are all wondering what will happen next. Remember you are a great person, I watch your videos and you inspire me so keep it up and get back to what you love rather then the pain you went through
- Mara Ahlburg: Tomorrow i´m going to visit a psychologist for the first time in my life to finally become happy again and give my bf the love and the relationship he deserves. I´m really afraid ´cause it will change everything. i really love how much humanity you show to remind us its ok/normal to feel NOT okay. thank you for that josh <3 get well soon
- Blabby Poole: what a beautiful message that applies to both youtube and everyone's daily life

- Ashtyn Smith: aww that gave me chills. so true!!
- Tora J: So proud of you Josh, be happy, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
- Brandi Lewis-Morgan: Awesome idea Josh and don't worry I would never stop watching ur vlogs and unsub I love ya ur my fav YT by far
- Kathleen Thompson: I have been struggling with some pretty serious depression and anxiety based partially on perceptions others have of me... the ending made me cry in a very cathartic way. I am excited to see where this new Avenue takes your channel. 💜
- Bridget Parker: I love it! It's something that is desperately needed and a lot of us want. Bring it on!
- ahoyloser: I don't miss who you "use" to be. You're great. I don't want the fake happiness nor do I want back a relationship that didn't make you happy. I want you happy with the content you like :)
- Hailey.D: and this is why i love you.you are such an insparation.keep being you.as long as you are happy i am happy.i know you said you cant change the world, but you truly changed my world {in a good way}.i love you. BE NICE TO PEOPLE!!!
- Ramon Reyes: I don't know any Youtubers, I just know their character on YT. I decided a while ago that I needed to recognize that, y'know?
- EriStarz: I'll be honest. I wasn't a Joshua DTV fan per se. I liked your videos sometimes, but I can respect and appreciate you more on this one. Look forward to your content
- Le Conqueror: All i could say is 'Im glad You made this video Josh. Im very glad.' Ive loved you even when You were faking it and I cant wait to love u more 'for u being you'.... ♡♡♡
- Chelsea Busch: I'm so proud of you josh❤
- Angi Bryan: Can't speak for everyone, but I've noticed that you've not been quite the same Josh, it's felt like you were trying to project the "before" Josh.. and it's okay. You're in transition. addressing it is the best thing you can do, for yourself. Don't worry about us. Some, if not most, of us are with you where ever your journey takes you. Just be you, we'll be here.. I know I will. Through it all, it's been apparent that you genuinely care about what you deliver as a youtuber.. and it has to sometimes be conflicting. You had a formula that worked for you under other circumstances that may not work for you anymore.. and it's understandable. You can't stay where you were forever... life is about change. Sometimes we change, sometimes life changes.. but, inevitably, which ever changes first is soon followed by the other. As long as you're on youtube, I'll be watching, no matter what you put out, because I'm a fan of you, not just your content. :)
- SeussyMcSeussifruit: Thank you.
- Iqlaas A: This like the shay carl incident and how he is an acholic and he cheated on his wife and how he wasn't really happy
- Amanda Brasidio: what Erin said! Finally!!
- Unsocial Sydney: This helped me a lot thanks💖
- C Bar: I love his hair like this... totally not the point of this video but thought I would mention that
- Izzy S: finally his talking about and no ignoring the fact about what happened
- Jade Carney: I want to grow up to be as amazing as you are!
- Macie Pitcock: I love you so much❤
- CoolCaftxX360 - Minecraft & More: Would you rather poop nonstop or make Donald Trump immortal and be the president of the world forever
- Juliana Cadavid: This is so dramatic, get over yourself, move on. Authenticity is great but you're getting the pity you want with this title and what does that leave you with. We have all been thru breakups, but we don't keep posting about it over and over and over. Stop talking and DO. Live your life, find someone else. You are so much stronger than this. There are plenty of women out there, someone is out there for YOU and who is going to love you the way you love them.
- ecliviTV: Josh, back... what?... 15 years ago when we were sitting together in art.. You were all over the place! Going to the hospital for a scratched cornea, updates on the ladies, harmonizing to the bell... I have ever known you to be an entertainer, and I think that's who you are. Just don't want you necessarily thinking that entertaining is a sham, but right on for the new change of pace.
- Analee Josselyn: wait to be real!!! we're all proud of u! we all want to be liked, I feel ya. Thanks for saying what I feel inside.
- Kristen Marie: Agreed! I think is a really good plan! :)
- adelarge: Buddy, you've got yourself a subscriber. KEEP IT REAL.
- kg kb: booooooring
- Gandalf Odinson: I don't think I know Youtubers, because they leave most of the bad out and only want views. You can't truly know someone through a screen, because they can edit their life to make you view them in a certain aspect. The only way to truly get to know someone is to spend time with them, learn what they like and what they don't, learn about their hopes and their dreams, and I don't think that that can fully be achieved through a screen...
- Billy Sparks: totally off topic, but your hair is awesome
- FamilyFirst.xo: Keep your head up Josh. We love you! 💙
- Kirsty Rosie: This is said a lot but it's so very true! It's ok not to be ok! Xx
- Deborah Byrd: love this!
- Quixii Q: I've been really struggling with this sort of thing since I graduated college last year. I've been feeling really lost and Not Okay, but then people ask you how you are and what you've been up to and I'm never sure how authentic I can be. A lot of times I do say, "Oh, not great, I've been really struggling," and that's such an unexpected answer, and it's awkward. But I really hate feeling inauthentic. I don't know. It's a struggle.
- Shannon Duggan: Seeing you be honest about yourself and about life in general is soooo inspiring ❤️
- Delie Šťastná: This is my second time I comment something on YouTube, even though I watch your videos for almost three years. This is the first time I really connected to you, most of the time I did not enjoy your "hype" style of speaking and being so happy all the time. I feel that this is what the world needs. Real people. So you made me happy for seeing the real Josh. All the best for you and fingers crossed on your wonderful path in life. Sending greetings all the way from the Czech Republic!
- Purris Leona: What happened to you👎😞
- Kara Lawrie-Plews: This is such an amazing and genuine video
- Florida Dad: Thank you.
- VV Gaby: Josh I love you and support you I don't watch your vids all the time but you are more real and genuine than most YouTubers out there.. You were married to one for a year and it didn't work out of course u are dealing with it and dwelling on it which I think is healthy! Pretending like you are happy go lucky gives the viewers confusion and I come from divorced parents, I also got rejected twice and dumped 3 guys all within a year and a half so I'm dealing with heart break too. Wait for the right woman and do not ever ever feel like you aren't good enough or don't deserve love
- that1chick92: The more I see josh be authentic with him self and with other the more happy I get.
- Shae Hutchinson: Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you for being real, for taking care of yourself. For doing what you need to do ❤️ Just thank you ❤️
- Sharee Chavez: I love the real authentic josh. can't wait to see ur new videos 😊💚
- Thanks for Trump CNN, MSNBC and Hillary: This man got a raw deal
- kylie marks: Aw. I love Josh
- avocadocats: I LOVE THIS. All its realness
- Lorell Avery: I love you :(
- NicoLauren3: ❤
- Carmel Daly: Makes perfect sense. Loves it! Good on you, Josh! <3
- Yessenia Castillo: I loved his hairstyle in this vid!
- Julie R: My dad died when I was 9 and ever since then I've always told myself I'm okay. This video made me realize I'm not okay I'm not happy and I need to change that. Thank you so much Josh, love ya ❤️
- Audrey Tidwell: You sound like a preacher, and you're so preaching the truth. Sorry this is happening to you Josh. Praying for your healing.
- luis g: Just come out already dude. We're cool with it. We've been down to have your cute country ass on our team for years! 😉
- Natasha63323: still love you xx
- McKenzie Barber: I'M HERE
- Betsy Hernandez: Melissa Erla ooooh probably. thank you!
- Dana Gileza: Josh, this is my favorite video of yours in a LONG time. You seem so genuine and real. Can't wait to see your new content. Love you!
- Paloma Mayrany: Orevwa 😲🙁
- Mary Adrienne: So happy for you that you are comfortable enough to show us your true self without fear of judgement! The real fans will be right here with ya!❤
- paige crosby: love you so much josh💓can't wait !!
- Teresa Brito: this is an excellent message to convey to the world
- Cassie Olczak: josh is uglu= he has big teeth like a mouse
- montipyton1: I recently had to figure this out in life. always be true to yourself and who you are. there are ups and downs; sometimes expressing how you feel will result in a wonderful chain reaction of support, advice and encouragement. life throws curve balls at us and how we handle them and catch them, determines where our lives go from that point forward.
- Anna: Hey Josh--I unsubscribed just the other day not because I don't care about you or like you but because I found I just wasn't enjoying your videos and wanted a break. But it was so wonderful to watch this video and I so respect what you are doing! Best of luck to you my friend.
- Kristen: ariseira totally agree! I don't watch the goofy challenge videos etc. I always have only watched his vlogs and real shit too.
- Ya Girl Syd: I'm sorry, I can't focus on anything but his hair... It's amazing
- Tina NYC/NJ: Great video Josh right to the point.... xoxoxo -Tina
- juwayriyah101: +Emily the Panda OMG those r sooooooo cute I luv them
- Sara Keast: Times are tough. You are right I don't know you but I do think of you as a.......... I don't even know but you HAVE made a real difference in my life. Remember one thing. . . YOUTUBE IS YOUR THERAPY
- Erica Cook: I can't find myself to watch her anymore I'm am always going to be here for you
- Liv: babe awww
- pinkeyblues: I absolutely love this. I completely agree. ... although i am not a youtuber.. how can i represent everyday, happy sad mad and anyday without people thinking im searching for sorrow and synpathy?? Ugh i love josh and his bravery of showing who he is. I struggle because people think i am looking for sympathy
- Bill Shaw: Josh, if someone doesn't like you that is their issue. Just keep being yourself and your true friends will be there for you!
- Bianca P: such a wonderful video josh. seriously. you worded it so well and I completely agree. it's funny because today I was watching colleen's live stream and someone asked if she would ever do a "draw my life" video and she responded with (paraphrasing here) "only if I show the happy and positive parts, thats it!! I don't want to discuss the sad/hard times" and I was just sitting there like ??????? that is not reality. people's lives aren't rainbows and happiness and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! there are hard parts of life that everyone experiences. forcing yourself to shove that part of you down deep is doing nothing for yourself or (if you're a youtuber) your viewers. that gives such a false sense of what REAL genuine life is. life has ups and downs. I have so much respect for people, like josh, who really, truly, are genuine about how life can be hard and it is O K A Y. ebbs and flows, baby. ebbs and flows.
- Sameena Arr: 💙💙💙💙
- Heather Clark: good luck and best wishes Josh, sounds like a great idea!
- Haileyyy Sousaaa: This is such a real and honest video. love and support you josh!!!!!!!!
- emily moran: authenticity is so important. I'm proud of you for doing this. being genuinely happy is so much healthier than pretending to be.

- That's What "i" Said: IN my opinion, YouTube is for entertainment. You project a "certain" image. Your private life needs to be private, for your sanity, and so you have a solid base. You can be authentic to a degree, but YT is basically your own t.v. show. It's no one's business to know your business. Why do YouTubers think it's anyone else's business? Do they think because people are nosey that they have to give them that information so they'll like them, therefore watch more, gain more online traffic, achieve something, get more views/money? You are selling your soul (IMO). Many Tubers say they started because they were going through a rough time and it started out as therapy; is it for a deep need to be accepted? If you put yourself out there all vulnerable, you are opening yourself up yes to love and support, but also to criticism, and when you're seeking others approval, you will never get it. There are so many vids up right now of how hurt they are because of mean comments. This messes with your mind! You need to get to a point where it doesn't matter if others disagree with you or are mean. You can't please everyone, and you need to be strong in yourself so it doesn't matter what they say. This takes some growing with time and awareness. I wish you Josh only the best; take care of yourself and let family and close friends be your strength and support, not the online "friends". Judging by this video, I see you're well on your way.
- Angelina Dorado: Wow... I've been struggling with this topic a lot lately and you saying it out loud really helped. You earned yourself a new viewer
- Dasia __: I love you so much josh. You do whatever makes you happy, whatever you want to do is what we will all go along with.
- ticoandtina: From my personal experience I think there could probably be one or several things going on there. 1. Some people seem to get away with everything and no one in the group seems to care... I think it has to do with the type of energy they give off that attracts certain people who subconsciously want validation from that type of person and so they put up with stuff from them. While meantime, if someone else with a different energy type acts the same way, it stands out to them as rude. 2. People tend to get put in boxes fairly quickly and some friends aren't comfortable with you changing the dynamic of your relationship. 3. When you've been the nice one for a long time it's easy to subconsciously be a little bitter about it and end up swinging the pendulum a bit too far the other direction without realizing it - when you feel like you've been a doormat, it's hard not to subconsciously blame others for walking on you. It can be difficult to diplomatically transition into your thoughts, opinions, and preferences being relevant without putting down or diminishing others' thoughts, opinions, and preferences. I've definitely come across poorly without realizing it until later because of those kinds of underlying subconscious things. 4. If you're completely confident that you have absolutely no "screw you, I'm important, too" mentality left over that could be coloring your interactions, it's quite possible that it may be time for you to naturally transition away from these friends. Often when you grow into a better version of yourself, your old friends don't fit anymore. Sad but true, because not everyone is growing along with you.
- Elixcon15: I really needed that.. thank you
- Dana D: Josh <3
- CASandAABshow: I cried
- Jabbachan: I like this new concept that you have going and I can't wait to see the new videos coming up. also ps love the new haircut and two I hope this makes it in your snapchat!!!!!!!!
- Alexandra Rae: I loved this video. I've been having the same thought process in regards to "knowing" youtubers and really like the sound of what you're trying to accomplish with your channel! I think it would be cool to get viewers involved in these round table discussions every once in a while to get our perspectives as well. I'll always support you, josh!
- Niamh James: Oh joshua, you are amazing one of the most realest MVP can't wait for the future x
- fwhayes0704: this is such a raw video Josh!! Thank you for sharing. PS I know about 20 black women who would kill that hairstyle. #onfleek LMAO!!!
- Lauren H: Fuck yeah, Josh! 👊
- Joanna Jones: But at the same time you don't want to be the YouTuber having mental breakdowns crying on your kitchen floor though. It's hard to find the right balance.
- Tessa Hatchett: Off topic but your hair looks sooooo good rn
- Michael Denny: Finally you are on the right path! I have stopped watching many youtubers because of the fake nature of their content. Your sister is a favorite for that reason. Your friends are also excellent! you are now free of the many fakes in your life that were part of your ex's world. You have always been too real for the grasping at Hollywood fame seekers. You were not selfish enough and they are repelled by your authenticity. A new life awaits you and someone who truly deserves your love and trust will come along as well! Thanks for all you do and are!
- jolieee: Amen! :)
- Greg Nikas: Uhh.....
- Shelby Y: You're amazing Josh ! So excited for this next chapter for you !! Lovvveee you 🙃😝
- Brooke Weis: i love this video so much. i'm happy that you're realizing what you want to change in your life and doing something about it. i can't wait to get to know the new and more authentic Josh 💜
- Stephanie Hernandez: Josh, for once I actually watched a video of your yours till the end because I felt for once you WERE being real. I think you should know you've completed your mission at least with one viewer in this huge space of people.
- eggsmarie: You are so right. Thank you for putting this message out there - the best creators on YouTube, the ones people really connect with, are the ones who are unashamed to be real. I can think of a lot of channels that could stand to hear this advice and could be so much better for taking it.
- crqstal: 3 views and 7 likes.... YOUTUBES DRUNK AGAIN
- Raven Willow: this is what the YouTube community needs. congratulations on meeting you for the first time in forever. we support you!
- leahengland80: Love this video!
- Lil Ange: are you Snapping comments if u do ilyyyyyyyyy
- Nádia Maria: all the support ❤
- Kat Dods: Ashley Crystal yes
- Simona El Haddad: Joshua the only key to true happiness is Jesus seriously because he's the one who sees all our sins and mistakes but still loves us more than we can ever imagine and by saying love i mean it because love is not this word that we say constantly without meaning it love is someone whose ready to give their life to make us happy and that's what Jesus did and he came to earth even though he's the king of kings and died for our sins and when you ask him for forgiveness and you start believing your life will change and you'll always be happy because you know that you're always loved no matter what you do and this love is enough believe me this happened to me and changed all my life and even though i have a lot of problems and difficulties in my life like everyone does but the thing is that Jesus give the strength and love to continue happy ❤❤❤
- Terrie Smith: Hey Josh I have followed a lot of your story, and I have watched a lot of your videos(funny, and serious)! My heart hurts for the pain that you both have gone through. I believe that divorce was never an option for you. And I am sorry that it happened! I hope that you both continue to find healing. And hope. As far as I can tell from the other side of the screen, this is the healthiest you have seemed in a long time. I know that might seem odd for me to say that , seeing I really don't know you! But I do know pain. And I know what being honest and authentic looks like. Also I know how important authenticity is in the healing process. The people who leave your page will not be the ones to help you in becoming healthy. And the people who stay, will! And if you need to leave YouTube for a while, that is what you need to do! Always live well, love well, and forgive often! That is a life of freedom!
- Mariah Montgomery: YES JOSH. I feel like this video really showcased YOU.
- Marc Marshall: "A lot of us project a version of ourselves that we want you to see because that's who we really wanna be but maybe that's not who we actually are" Damn that one line was pretty powerful. I'm looking forward to seeing your new content, Josh! As long as you're happy, we're happy :)
- brandi rene: I love this! Life sucks and divorce is hard. Cheers to finding the new you and happiness along the way. You got this!

- Holly Reinhart: YEESSSSSS! FINALLY! I love your strength, your authenticity, the REAL Josh. "Oh, THERE you are Peter!" BANGARANG!
- WAX MELT LOVER: ZE LOUD SAW He never had her! If he had her then they would still be together and married not getting a divorce. One day he will find the right WOMAN not girl that will sweep him off of his feet and he won't need to think about his ex. I was in a relationship for almost 6 years thought I had it all plus more then one day he lefted me for a girl at his job that just ended up cheating on him and doing him wrong but he made that decision to leave a good woman for a girl that was only wanting two things from him money and s** that's it. I'm now married of 9 years and been with my husband 10 years and he is totally amazing he treats me like I'm a princess and respects me. My husband was also in a bad relationship with a girl that got pregnant by him and one day he walked in the living room just to find her cuddling on the couch with her ex boyfriend pregnant with my husband ( i was not with at the time) baby. Yes it broke him down and you know what she told my husband I WANT BOTH OF YOU as he was moving out. Now that's a girl not a woman. Josh needs to stop and think about the next girl he gets with is she worth giving my time and is she a true woman. It seems he went for looks with her and not what she is really about. A big lesson learned on his behalf.

I feel so much for those youtubers that get 'trolls' or negative comments and then they feel they need to leave or stop making videos. Like you said - just be. :) I'm really excited to see where this new direction takes you and I hope other creators will follow your trail blazing new format :D

- Nikki Hipple: Josh you gotta do you. Forget the haters and those that disagree with you and how you want to evolve your channel. For me,I'm looking forward to seeing an authentic you in whatever form that happens to be. I can't stand fake and I'm sure I am not alone in saying as a fan of your channel and you stand for, I support you on this. I hope you can find peace and happiness again, true happiness. Hang in there!
- phan trash123: LifeWithCrystal 🙏🙏🙏🙏
- Katie Cassidy: Like I am always so depressed and anxiety filled but once I watch his videos I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and I can finally breathe again.
- Katerina Joan: JOSHUA I AM SO PROUD OF YOU YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3. you. are just. awesome.
- Melissa Larken: Love it Josh. Just be you. That's all you should be.

- una sorro: you look like josh peck in this vid lol, well how he looks now not that drake and josh days
- Katie Davis: i got the 9,999 like....love you <3
- Teresa Garcia: This to me is soo inspiring that someone finally was like hey it's an act or a character that unfortunately a lot of youtubers play and the fans think it's actually there personalitys until they stop posting or something happens and you see the real in them. I think everyone should be who they are and stop playing whatever character or role there doing! Thank you so much josh!!
- The Knots Of Life: I missed the true Josh, even if this isnt exactly a happy video i still smiled to see josh. The first time in awhile hes been real with us. <3
- Katie Cassidy: You are truly an inspiration in my life and many others.
- Betsy Hernandez: I've supported you from the beginning. We go through difficult things sometimes only to find that it would've probably been the only thing that could've molded us and made us who we're supposed to be. Either way Josh, I don't know what you believe in but I feel like I should tell you, God's got you. Praying that next time someone asks you how you are, you'll say, "I'm more than ok".
- Caitlin Gold: This is awesome
- Paige Blume: Love you. Stay strong. Hugs.
- paola paola: I'm sorry you're hurting, but I think it's great that you're trying to accept yourself as you are. I am in a sort of self reconstruction process myself, so I know how you feel, if only in a very supeficial level. It'll be okay!
- Katie Diaz: Way to be real and honest Josh. I know exactly what you're saying. I struggling with people not liking me. I take things real serious and real personal. It's a life long struggle! But you know the people who matter love you and THAT'S what makes you able to be this strong. Way to go! May the force be with you!
- Zoe Martin: This is truly amazing and I will love your videos anyway!😚😚😚stay strong!
- Tracy Crawford: I love that you're "real" ... better than being fake all the time, then we would never know the real you.. I think the real you is pretty cool :)
- Cerise deCardenas: It's ok to not be ok. Thank you for truly sharing your heart. I can't imagine the pain you feel, but I pray it heals and leaves you stronger. This is a great way to let that happen. You're awesome. I'll always be a fan.
- katie80: I'm glad that he is 'refreshing' himself and commiting to being a genuine person. I might just have to give him a 2nd chance
- Emily Sloan: okbaby. Most authentic genuine family I can name
- Lillie Bridgers: I love the message the came across this video. It is so very true.
- Kitty Kat: Why hasn't he posted anything since last week? I hate waiting
- Hannah Weaver: So on the money. This is awesome. Proud.
- lily green: You are one of the most amazing youtubers I have watched. You keep it real, and even when you aren't happy you put on this face for us so that we know you're dedicated. I remember meeting you last year and hugging you just gave me the happiest feeling. You mean so much to so many people and I'm glad you're letting yourself be happy for a change.
- Sarah Elizz': Thank you, Josh.
- joegenova: round table discussion.... LMFAO do these people even taste the real world except through the responses of 16 year olds?
- Morgan Hen: wow you are the one YouTube I feel like is just trying g to be the best version of them selves and make people!e happy. what you said about being authentic was really what I needed to here. I keep my in my thoughts He prayers and than you for your encouraging words.😊
- Gummy Bee: I'm really happy for you. I'm glad you're taking steps to be happier and I think everybody should do that. Life's too short to be unhappy when you could be happy.
- ryadeac joes: be Who You Are :)
- yaneth Olvera: My name is Valerie and I think you are inspiring to other people and I am only nine years old and I think that you are a amazing person

- Ryan Ross: He....He didn't say "Arvwah" IDEK HOW TO SPELL IT! But like.... :OOO
- Judith Kryztals: I feel you brah ❤️ you'll get there, we'll get there 🙂
- ZeldaandFairies: I love this. You look great. You're doing great. I believe in you!
- Dante Dantec: not having put gel in your hair fits so well to this video :)
- Mylena: probably won't read this, let alone even see it. As a Divorcee, i feel i can state my opinion and believes. Being 6 or 7 months out from a traumatic life experience. i would question it if you said you were ok..... Going through something like that is life changing. Its a death, grieving is necessary. the most important part of going through something such as a divorce, Nobody thinks will happen, is finding out who you are as an individual. and with you wanting to change even your youtube content is such a big step. it shows that you are healing day by day. you will never be 100% heeled or "over it" like some people would say. But as you probably know by now you learn how to Deal with it. and you are doing so well. i look forward to the new and improved josh. Even though the before josh was perfect anyway. Any women would be lucky to bring you home to their parents.
- Emily T: it's okay not to be okay! ALWAYS supporting you on your journey to true happiness josh! :)
- Mackenzie Murphy: Please be exactly who you are
- Maya Bellinger: Wait I'm app late is he gay
- Kaiya Steyskal: dang I'm early the last time I was this early we had a good president
- julie weaver: This makes me happy. I always thought you Josh were a little too goody goody. A little too perfect and that kind of made me feel shitty about myself. Like I was doing something wrong in my life. (well besides what I am already aware of.) So thank you Josh. I think we will all find you more relatable and that is good for everyone.
- Tonaya Piper: Oh my gosh I love you so much! I love your idea😍😍
- Madison Lambert: Yes Riss YES
- Jamie Kinteris: Josh you are a smart guy. Going through that tough situation was really hard. Lets just say it... life sucks, but you are powering through it good job
- Cheryl Button: ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
- Antonella Merucci Walshe: Josh, just be yourself. I love your vlogs. You are funny and talented. Life is hard and shocking as it sounds, things do happen for a reason.
- Dolan Madness: I love josh no matter what!!!!! He's awesome
- Mary Austin Andrews: Most. Inspiring. Video. Ever. Watched. In. My. Life.
- YumYumOrYuck: Good idea Josh. Where do I submit my question?
- Amelia Claire: When he mentioned the child thing who else thought of Jesse from PVP? :(
- Hey It's Emily: 'Just be.' I love this concept so much Josh, really needed to hear this as it hits home a lot at the moment x
- Brittany: Patrick Sayngs In my opinion, being nice has nothing to do with the authenticity of one's self. It doesn't matter what authentic emotion you're feeling, you can ALWAYS be kind in the deliverance of your thoughts, whatever they may be. Experiencing a negative emotion, and being honest about that negative emotion, is never an excuse to be unkind to others. 🙂 God bless!
- Lauren Pupki: SUCH an inspiring video! Just subscribed.
- Adriana O: this is so real we can't always be make people feel bad about yourself
- Ana Rodriguez: umm.. get yourself away from the youtube "community". I'm a 40 yr old that loves youtube but I'm still in real life. Watch pewdiepie in the last 2 months. If you cant be that real and not be in youtube, then you are not about you being authentic. The things youportrait is you are all about boy bands...what were they about??? The opposite of what you are saying. There is NO CHOREOGRAPHIES in real life. I like you despite of that. You do not have to be perfect but LIVE IT IN YOU OWN SKIN. Don't just preach it
- Doveskyrider: It's not letting me watch. Can someone please tell me everything
- Vi Bell: This is beautiful.. ♡♡♡♡
- Ranferi Manzano: WHEN DID HE SHAVE WHY DID I JUST NOTICE
- Mikayla Mattocks: I don't know if I ever felt like Josh could maybe eventually grow to be this type of YouTuber, but as soon as I finished watching this video I thought "This is the Josh I signed up for." Josh, your courage and honesty is always wonderful and motivating.Thank you.
- mrz: Great job Josh. I know you probably don't notice each comment individually, and I don't often leave comments on videos, but I thought a little bit of positivity would help. I'd just like you to read this comment for yourself, and all of the other brilliant, positive comments on this video because this was so brave and it's a big step for you that I think many others could and should take, they're just too afraid to. You have finally showed yourself, that you sometimes just don't care and that's great, that's real, that's you. Because, honestly, what is the point in having such a wonderful, open channel if you feel you can't be yourself? I just wanted to say, please always remember that you have over a million people behind you every step of the way, and today you did something that so many people are too scared to do. You've opened a door that will lead to many others, and that there is always another great opportunity ahead. Thanks, Josh. We all mean it.
- Shadowy Silhouette: applause 👏👏👏👏
- austin williamson: You do whatever makes you happy, and for that i'm super proud of you and for anyone else that can do that.
- aLiSoN: Love you josh❤️
- Ansley Mask: preach🙏🙏
- MissLilyputt: I've always felt that Youtubers that I follow are interesting or cool but not my friend. I don't know any of them really besides what is edited and posted and most of that can be found on a Wiki page. I think all of them should be entitled to some form of privacy especially in their intimate relationships and when certain personal events occur that is up to them to deal with that. I don't feel I should say anything when there's a divorce, separation, argument, or whatever besides support. I can't ever really know what truly happened besides clips, rumors, and he said/she said. Your life is your own and you know what works best for your channel. Be you. You don't need to be anything else.
- Cassia Giustra: You're so inspirational. Never give up. You are an incredible human. I love you.
- Teresa Benson: I love seeing youtubers who are real! who will be honest when something major happens in their life. I feel like we need to see that when something like this happens we need to see that we aren't alone and that it will get better. We need to see hope. and not just us as viewers but us a people. Also we care Josh about what is going on in your life especially after a divorce that wasn't your choice. :)
- evie g: stop talking and just sing for us....
- Avery Meier: I don't care what anyone else says. I love this video. Everything said in it whether you like it or not is true in some way or another. It relates to everyone in their seperate worlds. Kudos Josh. You're very brave.
- Tori Rojo: Ily 💜
- Ian Neha Vlogs: thank you its corny but truuuuuu♡♥︎
- JelloowB: I accept you. and your hair hahaha, no but for real: I am curious who the real Josh is! every youtuber's life looks perfect, but from deep down I know their life isn't perfect. I hope I get to see from you how your life is for real. you got me man! I am not unsubscribing no matter what! 😋
- Karis Horan: Haven't listened to the video yet, but I know how you feel. I'm so tired of being treated like crap by people. I wish I could end it. People act like your friends but they aren't.
- XRobbyX151: First
- Kathryn Kilian: Thank you. Yes, we need as much realness as we can get nowadays. Really appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable!!!
- Andrew Lee: Nice 👍
- emma H: Josh, we're all behind you. I'm glad you made this video because a lot of times people hide it and just back away from the camera, they come back a completely different person and don't tell us why. I'm glad you're telling us what's going on, because we care for you. Thank you josh ❤
- Olivia Mary: This is amazing. You slay, Josh. ❤️
- Jeanie Tramontano: I love this
- Paul Chillemi: Marissa Thompson SAMMEEE
- Pennywise *thedancingclown*: Love the new haircut, u look younger and really handsome with it! Also this is probably the most real YouTube video I've seen in a while...so congratulations, and, in all seriousness, josh, I respect you more now. 😊😐🤔
- Samantha Cook: Amen, "you don't have to be perfect all the time... just be you" I feel like, everyone whether they want to admit it or not struggles with this, and they put on that EVERYTHING IS AWESOME face to hide the fact that they are hurting, because the emotion of struggling or pain is just not the expression they want the world to see, but nobody is perfect, nobody can be that perfect image because it is impossible! Josh we all support everything you do, and love you with all of our hearts, and yeah there are going to be those haters out there but why should you care what they think? and you have the best family friends and viewers that will help you through this and support you! there is light at the end of this tunnel! 💗😉😃
- Jessica Jackson: I like that,"Just Be." There you go a brand new merch lol copyrighted by Jessica Jackson lol
- Tallulah 27: Josh, all of us are here to support you and we are all gonna help you through hard times. We all love you.💕😘🙂
- TheMelissacaul: This is what people wanna see and what they like about you. Good for you josh, thanks for this video. Good reminder to everyone.
- Sarah Carter: this is beautiful af god bless this video
- Bianey Sanchez: before I watch the video god damn Josh you're so good looking ✨
- Mel Bell: Also people.... a lot of people struggle with a lot of things and the internet is sometimes their first resort. Your viewers trust you so I think his will be awesome!!
- Girl in a Tree: You have my full support! You inspire me to be me and be ok with that. Looking forward to more videos like this.
- Emi Tafá: This is so refreshing. Thank you Josh.
- botweener: Josh, you're right it is taking a risk, but it will bring those who were scared off by the superficial goings on and bring them in. Also You would have to be catatonic to know that most youtubers are "faking it". It is refreshing to know that at least you wont be feeding that superficial beast any longer. Big hugs and big hope to you.
- Julia Johnson: I love you josh
- Marcy Newberry: You're so amazing and courageous. I honestly can't wait to see your videos every single week. You're such a good role model. I love you so much!!! 💘💘
- Ana Batel: you just got a new subscriber because of this :)
- Laurie Beth H: This is why I love you! I've never thought you were ever less than genuine even if it wasn't every detail of your life shown. No one thinks your perfect, but we do know that you're a good guy.
- L C A Xx: You are strong, you will come out okay. I don't watch your videos, but you've shown me I need to be who I am to be happy, thank you ❤
- De Facto.: I feel like there is a stigma with "being fake". The reality is that we adapt and change our personalities to whomever we are around. If I am with my parents I would not talk to them the way I talk to my sisters'. If I am in class I would not talk to my teacher the way I would my best friends. If I am with my sisters i feel more comfortable than with my best friends but in a different way. You see what I am getting at? Psychologist say we have three versions of ourselves and that the world never truly sees the "real" person, only we do when we are alone. There is the person society wants you to be, the person your closest beings (friends and family) get to see and then there is just you when you are alone. Something to keep in mind.Being "truly authentic" can also be negative when no one is ever truly authentic in the world.
- Becky's Balcony: I have a youtube channel but I don't have that many subscribers and that is fine, I would NOT want to be a famous youtuber. I don't care what other people say about me Im not perfect. I don't have that much going on in my life so I don't vlog that often. I do care about other people I AM real and I'm honest.
- April Lopez: I can't tell you how helpful this video was to me and if you truly are going to be posting videos of the content you mentioned, I think that would be a wonderful thing to be a part of. There are so many people going through so much who just need a listening ear and kindness. Take me for instance, I'm going through a hardship right now between continuing to do the things that are agreeable and make my family happy or doing and following what makes me truly happy and I could use some outside of my circle advice. You probably won't see this, but I think posting this video was beautiful, honest and commendable. I do hope you find your true happiness.
- Esther jennanda: I love you.
- Haley: i mean that you don't deserve it because you are such a great person. 😏
- Kristen Marie: Agreed! I think is a really good plan! :)
- Nicole Brittingham: Love you so much!
- Ana Caldas: Oh, Josh... I love you. Can't wait for next week!
- CJ Vrgs: I seriously love you. Going to cali we should definitely hang out 😊😊
- Raquel Sariles: yaaaasssss JOOOSHHHH!!!!!!!!
- MEGAN MERLOT: i want the beard back!!! :( :'(
- Brenna Neyen: Stop disliking his videos if you don't like Like just don't wash them😡👊🏻please it's just rude
- Grace: You deserve the world Joshua, I hope that you get it one day
- Abby Lachmann: This video should be trending
- Dory Gean Cunningham: It's probably because I am an older viewer, and I am totally going to see stuff differently. But, I follow youtube channels for the entertainment. Even the vloggers are just presenting a smidgen of their day/life as a form of entertainment. I am guessing that some viewers would and could see a YouTuber as a friend because they seem to be the type of friend they would like to have. Josh, life can be so tough to those of us that don't make a living videoing ourselves, and to have to continuously make upbeat content when life behind the lens is hard is not being disingenuous. Your job is an entertainer and it is ok to make upbeat vids when you are feeling blue. However, your courage to step out and say "I want to show you the downs too", is grand. The last thing I want to say, is you are mourning Josh, and it may be a long time till you feel it has past. When we mourn we plaster that smile on for the world. What is good is you have friends that you can relax that smile and share. What amazes me is your realization that viewers who see you as a friend need that time to be real with you. Good on you John...definitely being nice to people. Thanks!
- Aanyah Houston: hi joshua
- BosnaPaki: ReJay :D why him?
- Starla Perez: I love this. Thank you josh <3
- Gintarė Benediktavičiūtė: Joshua, you have a beautiful soul. Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard <3
- Claudya Johnson •: Josh, this video was so real which is what everyone needed. It showed us a different side, a different opinion. And at the end of the day who cares about who subscribes, the ones who care will stay :) love you josh
- Kathy Gause: It takes a lot of courage to make a change and follow your heart. You should also consider interviewing Youtubers like the one you did with Madylin Bailey to learn about who they really are. P.S. Really like the new hairstyle. It suits you.
- Sansanbizzy: Josh.. i have been divorced for a year and im just now getting back to where i was before. being yourself is the best thing you can do! God would want you to live as the man he made you to be. dont be afraid to show us the real joshua. your true fans will still love you no matter who you portray yourself as! Stay strong and look to God when you need help. he got me through my hard times. Praying for you and i hope you find peace soon. hugs! -sandy :)
- Ry Pinski: ReJay :D not really
- JustForComments: I miss real Josh.
- Alexa Mesa: love you bud ❤

- Gail: Stop whining! Man up!
- Madison Brown: Im not ok too......but I don't know why....
- Stink hole 809: I love you Joshua and I hope you're okay and I think we all hope you feel better one day
- Biblio maniacs: Holly E I hope josh sees this :)
- Ellie Hefferan: this sounds amazing :) RL yay!!
- bella: i hope he is not going to announce that he is gay.
- Sarah Olson: Authentic is what I love. Show me everything, not just when you're happy. I mean we're all human and go through many emotions. We can support each other together when we're having bad days. We can all learn from each other's struggles. If you lose subscribers from people not liking you being authentic, then they're not true Dingleberries.
- Shaina Burke: You are an inspiration. You are valuable. You are loved. Thank you.
- Amanda Fernandez: 100% broke down during this video. When I finally calmed down, I noticed his hand.... no ring. I'm done😭
- dancingwholeness: Love this vid!!! Always love it when people are real. That's a gift you give to all of us. Phoniness is not gonna bring positivity to the world. Being in pain and choosing to feel it in integrity will!! Great work!!
- Cara Picone: WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE Why ugh?
- April K.: I LOVE this video so much. Fake happiness online is terrifying. I was lucky that social media wasn't really much of a thing until I was in college and past the super awkward/difficult time that is middle and high school, but I worry about my future kids and that they might grow up comparing their lives against this false "reality". You're incredible, Josh and thank you for doing what you can to change this "trend". I am excited to see what's to come on this channel!
- Mark Said: Josh, what you should have said is that one can never be *Flawless*. Making mistakes, changing one's own opinions, having tonnes of laughs, crying rivers of tears, being nice to people and sometimes being cross to people is what makes each and everyone of us *Perfect*. Being perfect means having tonnes of facets and imperfections. Being flawless is simply impossible. Thanks for the fantastic rambley video, mate. Love ya always. :)
- TheFlutterbyme: I love love love this video. I would take real sadness vs fake happiness any day. Because it's REAL! And if you're faking all the time I don't relate because I'm a mess haha. everyone is a mess. Life is a beautiful mess. Thank you for making this video. ♡♡♡
- Loopylu005: I think you're blooming amazing after everything you've been through, and I can't wait to see you happy again some day xx
- Colleen Carr: I kinda already thought you did this, but ok great!
- Patrick Gabriel: it takes guts to be real...thank you for offering that to this forum. :)

- Lilly Somerset: deep.
- The Nopeness: I'm excited!
- Psalm Peck: That was an amazing video, Josh 💖 Your message was beautifully delivered and you were completely authentic 💜💜 I find myself so inspired and struck by how wise you can be 💞 I sincerely hope and pray for your happiness 🙏💓
- Elizabeth Bolton: ARE YOU OK ????IT'S LIKE YOUR IN A MAGIC WORLD WITH THE SCREAM!
- Farrah: This video made real sense to me. I am 16 and Im struggling to find myself and be who I really am. Thank you Joshua.
- Teunie Johanna: p.s. I really hope you will feel better soon. I don't know you personally but from what I've seen through the years in your videos I can tell you have a big heart. You deserve love and happiness. Take care of yourself!
- Melanie Rae: it's almost like a defense mechanism too because if you aren't truly yourself, and people post hate comments, they aren't hating the actual you-- but the created you and that kinda helps ease the blow
- lynn ly: Robyn Downes I think you should tell them that you have been hiding your feelings about these things and now you are going to tell the truth and that they should be ok with it
- Sophie Hollingsworth: Love ur hair
- lucy and amelia: I hope you're okay Joshua💜 I love you and wish the best for you, you can be honest, you deserve everything
- ᖇiᔕᔕᗩ ᗰᖴieᒪᗪ: "Some child that you never knew about" 😳 lol. BUT I LOVE YOU JOSH!😘
- reid o'connell: ily josh you are amazing! i cried when i heard about this months ago. stay strong! you are such an insperation!💕
- Kristen Elizabeth: come over to my channel!
- Ellie Strums: Nah I don't feel like most YouTubers are my friends, my friends are more real w/ me and are not always pulling forced positivity out of their b-holes. I'm glad you're doing this, I was honestly getting a bit worried about how you're actually doing and if you're coping well. I've been watching you for 5years, I'm ready for a fully raw unfiltered Joshua. So much love for you.
- Roxana A: Truly inspiring Joshua. Ps: There is no way anyone could not like you, there's no way.
- Chien Hong: Love you Josh!! I'll still watch your videos❤💪❤
- Jo Oelkers: I totally agree with you I honestly in my opinion I don't know the people I watch I literally don't know them
- Evie Jones: Go eat at a REAL BAKERY LOL
- Nubah Marium: He cheated for 3 months...there's no way he was drunk the whole time. Reading the conversation, I find it hard to believe a drunk person can type and text with absolutely NO spelling errors or grammar mistakes. I've been watching his vlogs for so long my mind almost can't comprehend that this actually happened.
- Gwen O: take care Josh💕 and for any dingleberry out there who needs it, you may not be okay tmr, nxt week, or even next month, but just know, eventually, you will be okay and you just gotta hold on till that day.
- Kimberly Duran Loza: ☹️❤️❤️💔😭
- tf lol: hands
- TheMelanieGrace: I appreciate your honesty and candidness. I'm proud of you for being you.
- Aditee Parmar: I'M SO EXCITED FOR JOSH'S NEW CONTENT!!
- Danyel L: I think this is going to be great! This Is Us is an incredibly depressing show and it's doing well because it's real and it's raw. It'd be great to see that same sort of realness on this platform.
- Kimberly Aiken: I just unsubscribed :^)
- Chenise R: josh. you really are incredible. you're right though . people are not themselves a lot of the time . I'm really excited to see the real Josh. the genuine Josh . the starting your life the real you.. I've got your back , and here if you want to talk. if people unsubscribe, let them. they're not the people you want in your life . I love you and I know you can do it . 💜
- Jordan Williams: you seem less obnoxious than your fake happy
- Mindi Fannoney: You don't have to be Okay right now. You don't have to be okay anytime soon. The longer you fake it, the longer it will take to actually be okay. Be with the people who love you. Take time for YOU. I've been through it. 11 years ago. I'm Okay. You will be too.
- BabuLife: I think one of the most honest youtubers is David So. He's the type of guy who would never show his viewers bullshit
- Florencia Claure: I'm excited to see your next videos! Go you, Josh!!
- tmjirgal: What if you have no idea what authentic is anymore? I can't tell if my happiness is fake or if it's real. Probably won't answer, but it feels good to post this.
- Oliver B: This is such a great video. I owe you an apology. I impulsively tweeted a couple of mean comments on your Twitter because I thought you were acting a little immature. (Yeah, I know...pay you back for acting immature by being immature myself!) Your vulnerability is admirable and for the first time, in months, I saw a super sweet, honest guy. Love the idea of your new format. I think it will help many who are afraid to say they are not okay. Happy the beard is gone and the sweet southern boy is back! :)
- Burgundy: yup. Pewdiepie's "Forced Positivity" is a good video addressing this too.
- Johnson Family Vids & Vlogs: This is good advice Josh. I want to make more videos and will use your advice. God knows we mess up and we hurt. That's why HE's there for us.
- Marlissa Cunningham: Nubah, you clearly do not know what a functioning alcoholic is if you think drunk people can't type without spelling errors. He's a human being. Human beings make mistakes. No one is perfect. Is it shitty? Yes. Should he have done it? No. Would anyone have cared besides his wife if he wasn't on the internet? Nope. Nobody would've cared.
- Saulo Ortiz: communication and connection are some of the things I value most in life. We are all human and everyone can relate to what youre saying in this video in one way or another.
- MariaB2ze: I struggle with being myself because I'm unsure who I am. When with friends the things I say and do don't feel right, but at the same time aren't false projections.
- Janette velez: your an amazing person josh, so happy to see a youtuber creator being real.
- Kate Bo: Where is the love button?
- MariahTheBudd: We love you josh. dingleberries for life <3
- MiSS DaNi: good for you Josh if you need more motivation watch @garyvanerchuck on YouTube
- Malini Joseph: i love you josh. flaws and all
- Cray: ahhhh that's the mentality everyone should 100% have on this website, bless you
- Chesney Grindstaff: joshuadtv we are gonna be with u
- Gin Amber: IT'S OK TO BE NOT OK
- Amanda Turner: Thank You Josh. This really meant something to me.
- Yasmine Belhadj: thanks for being real josh, appreciate it a lot and I support you 100% through it all
- Jojo Lanzo: 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼GREAT
- Gracie Firth: What even is this channel anymore?
- Paige Griffee: YES!! Key word Authentic. I'm a brand new youtuber and appreciate this so much. Trying to be as real as possible with real people on the other end of the screen! Thanks Josh, keep doing what you're doing!
- RoseTheRiot: I love it. I look forward to seeing you be your authentic self!
- Cami Phillips: Hey sweet Josh! Being authentic is a big deal in my life. It does make me happy to be authentic, but you will NOT be happy forever by just being authentic. If you don't mind, I'm going to tell you something that could change your life forever if you decide to read it and believe it. A little over 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ was born. Fully God and Fully Man. (How can that be? well... We don't have to get into it now.) His mom was a virgin when she had him (WHAT THE HECK! How does that work?)!! God had performed a miracle in her womb and gave her a child. He told her that her son would change the world forever, and he told her to call him Jesus ("Joshua" in Hebrew). As Jesus grew up, people could see his maturity in his Bible knowledge. He was able to quote and explain things that even the highest Jewish priests could not. Many people did not like Jesus because of something he pronounced --- "I am the Messiah! I am here to save you from all your sins." They thought he was blaspheming God and making a joke out of God and his holiness. But really, Jesus was just stating the truth -- He really was here to save the world from their sins. He came here to forgive the murderer's sins, the adulterer's sins, the prostitute's sins. He came to forgive your sins Josh. Many people thought he was demon-possessed or a magician because of the miracles he performed. He was able to heal the blind man, raise people from the dead, turn water into wine, and sooo many more. Throughout his life (from the day he was born to the day he died) he was fulfilling prophecies that people were told thousands of years before he entered the world. In the book of Isaiah, you can find pretty much all of the prophecies. The first prophecy was that a child would be born unto a virgin in the city of Bethlehem, and he would be called Counselor, Emmanuel, God With Us. Jesus came for one reason, and that was to save us from our sins. You see, if Jesus Christ had decided not to come down from Heaven, where life was perfect for him and there was not pain or suffering, every single person in the Universe would live a life eternally separated from God. How did Jesus save us from our sins? you might ask. Well I'm getting into that right now. Like I said earlier, many people hated Jesus because it seemed like he was making God look like a joke. Therefore, a lot of people wanted to kill him. Jesus, being God and Man, could see in his future that he would have to die, so he let it happen. Why did he have to die? Well in the Old Testament of the Bible (and before Jesus died) people had to make animal sacrifices to ask God for forgiveness from their sins. And when Jesus died, he said that his death was the final sacrifice. No one had to make animal sacrifices anymore. Jesus went through the most painful death ever -- Roman Crucifixion. He was whipped, he was beaten, he was stripped from all his clothes, he was given a crown of thorns, he was forced to carry his cross for miles until they got to the spot where he would be hung on the cross, he was NAILED to the cross (hands and feet). Jesus hung there, begging his father in Heaven (God) to forgive the world of their sins. As Jesus hung there, all of the sins of this world (past, present, and future) were thrown on Jesus. Jesus' death is not where this story of love ends. Jesus, when he took his last breath, descended into Hell for 3 days because of the sin that he took from the world, and he lived separated from his Heavenly father. While Jesus' spirit was in Hell, people placed Jesus' physical body in a tomb of one of the Jewish leaders who summoned Jesus to death. The Roman leaders put a large boulder (one that could only be moved by 10+ strong men) and guards in front of the tomb, so that no one would steal the body of Jesus. Christ's body laid there in the tomb for 3 whole days, and on the 3rd day, 3 women walked down to the tomb with oil to anoint the tomb. When they got there, the boulder was rolled away, and the body was gone. They were terrified --- someone had stolen their savior's body. Then, an angel of the Lord appeared and said "Do not be afraid! For the Lord your God is alive and has risen from the dead!" The women hurried to tell Jesus' disciples that Christ had risen from the dead! They didn't believe it at first, until they saw the tomb themselves. CHRIST HAD TRULY RISEN FROM THE DEAD!!! So how is this religion different from others? Well first of all, our God is ALIVE!!! When you look at other religions, their gods are not alive -- Muhammad is dead, Buddha is dead, and so many others are dead. Our God is alive!!! This story might seem cruel that God would send his only son to be given as a human sacrifice, but that's actually the beauty of this story. God loves his son, but he also loves his creation! He knew that of he didn't send a perfect being (Jesus -- both God and Man) to be the atonement, we would surely die and be separated eternally from God. Jesus took on the sins of this world (past, present, future) when he died, and then he rose again from the dead. What's amazing about the "rose again from the dead" is that when he rose, he conquered death!!!! He looked right into the devil's eyes and laughed at him because death had been conquered. SO now, if we believe that Jesus saved us from our sins, and trust that he will return to call us up to Heaven, we don't have to fear death. I know that this will be hard to believe when you first read it, but that's only because God hasn't opened your eyes to see and understand it yet. Josh, I will be praying for God to come into your life because when he does, you will have everlasting JOY!!!!! I love you Joshua David Evans but Jesus loves you soooo much more! Love, Cami
- Catherine Ng: Honestly everyone can never be perfect , I'm so glad to get real talk from you josh, can't wait to see what real content you'll be talking to us about soon . I suffer psychologically from projecting a version of myself that's hard keeping up with in front of people on a daily basis and it tires me out , and when I'm at my most vulnerable(such as my day of the month) it eats me up. I'm trying to be realer as time passes and hopefully my friends will still like the real me
- Bruno Hege: referencing BFvsGF I guess!
- Emily Xoxo: You are my favourite human! <3
- Natalie Womack: Jes Workman amen to that!
- Jessica Parkinson: Sprinkle of glitter did the same kind of thing and she's had an amazing response so go for it! Don't be afraid 😘
- Andrea Kertamus: I completely agree Josh! Just be YOU!
- Annie Bobandi: This is literally the most eye opening and incredibly thoughtful video I've seen in a while. I definitely won't be able to stop thinking about what you said for a while
- Gillian Delmhorst: I really apreciate this vid! This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo true!
- Rachel Marie Constence: Josh you are one of my biggest role models. I appreciate this, I really needed it. Being authentic and your real self is so hard for everyone including me, but I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. That's why I praise you and admire you more than you will ever know. You are stronger than this pain. Xoxo:)
- carolioning: Wow I support this idea and this authentic Josh 50000% you go man you are amazing
- lollie Chevier: Being yourself is always better. Looks like you are giving up the thing you use to do at the end of all your videos - which is good. That was always annoying.
- Marlissa Cunningham: I think I know some youtubers, and others I know I don't know them. I think some are authentic. I think some are only as authentic as they 'can be.' And I think some are truly truly fake. I've always thought that you were as "authentic as you could be." I've seen you be what I thought was authentic you, and I've seen you be what I'm pretty sure is "fake it til you make it" you. I hope you continue to be your authentic you and let it make you a happier you. Nobody's perfect.
- Mindless Company: Josh, You are real your opinion means something. We are allowed to not be ok...we are allowed to have emotions. Thats what makes us human. I am behind you completely with what you are trying to put across. Humans are imperfect, and often times we judge people on their flaws because they don't fit the status quo. Humans can be cruel, especially behind the screens of their devices in this digital age. Picking sides and judging people is simply disrespectful of your fellow man. The world would be a much more perfect place if we realized our own imperfection and fought in some positive way to work towards being better. Be observant, try to approach the world with an open heart, an open mind, and an open ear. Above all else be nice to people.
- Sara Murtas: Yes! I've always watched your videos from time to time but I've always thought that something was missing.. your authenticity was what was missing! I know how amazing it feels to be authentic and genuine, especially after years spent hiding a part of you or trying to constantly wear masks to please others. I'm truly happy for you and I am so happy to feel that strong powerful vibe from you that's screaming "I want this change". Can't wait to see the new content you will bring to this platform :)
- Minnie: Jes Workman I agree 1000% 💚
- LunasDaughter: ^This!

- Alyssa G: Thats amazing!! Happy for you
- ccp tutorials: The Schuyler Sisters 333 Ok you love Hamilton too like me 😂😂
- Juliann Nicole O'Donnell: do what makes you happy and dont worry about who likes you and who doesnt. easier said than done but you deserve nothing less than happiness. you look great but i do see the sadness behind your eyes and i think you should solely continue to strive for good..
- Ashley Kohlbrand: When Josh quotes the fire season opener of "It's Always Sunny..."
- Ruby Joachim-delpoio: Your amazing josh I'll always support you!
- Toby Siu: JOSH be nice to people and yourself too:( we support you and glad to see you share this much to us! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Rebecca Agyei: "don't project a version of you that you think other people, or friends, or family want to see.. don't project, just be." Thanks Josh for my official senior yearbook quote and I needed to hear this‼️👏🏾🙏🏾
- Ilesha Shiver: As someone who is currently going through a divorce I didn't really want, I get where you're coming from. I put on a happy face at home for our 6 yr old but it's necessary to have people who understand it's a front. Sending you good vibes, prayers or whatever it is you prefer!
- Pooja Vora: Super super super!🙌 You do You!
- Rachael Gerron: Your hair looks so nice :)
- Janeen Bolender: Wow josh I'm so proud of you ever sense your divorce you haven't been acting the same and now that you've come out about it and your going to do something about it I'm so happy for you and I truly hope you find happiness❤️❤️
- Starr Lee: Good on you Josh!

- Courtney Franczak: What about when you don't know who the real is you..?? But, Thanks for sharing this video, love the real and raw you ♥️
- Crystal Ang: I know that this is hard to go through but this really makes you grow alot. And telling your friend that "youre not okay" actually is good. I never really even have the guts to do it cause its just hard to say out whats really going on. I am happy for you that you are so strong even though that you're going through such hard part of your life and you're so real. Thankyou with all the real content and thank you for being yourself.
- Stephanie Z: I love this!! I'm in!
- Rachael LeBLanc: I'm not a you tuber and think of this all the time. I work in an office and EVERYONE is faking it. I don't think it's just a you tube thing, it's a real world thing. It's just that you tube puts everything under a magnifying glass. I wish you good luck with anything you do!
- Katie Eisenhower: Amen brother!
- Nixxmom: Authentic. Always.
- Jess Bradford: I just wanna give you a hug and tell you it'll be ok, eventually. If you need to have your down days, those who love you will still support you. And those are the ones you want around for when you're having a good day.
- Lord & Lady of Winterfell: I see these issues with a lot of youtubers reecently, Felix got through almost the same and I think is the moment when you have to realize that we are humans too, we like to know what happens when you guys feel sad, if you feel anxious, not for for a morbid needed but is it due to how relate we feel with you. Some people may not like to see this sort of content because they might be looking for something satisfying to see and that is ok too. Don't mind about the target viewers for a while, I do really care about you JOSHUA EVANS to be okay, even if you post videos per week, per year, I don't care, you have no idea how much you taught me and how helpful your videos were when I was depressed and alone. I bet many people like me had the same experience, watching a content made by you for us to be happy and it's the moment to let you be happy again, to help you get through this as long as we can. I love you so much, you'll see something good is waiting at the corner. You are such a beautiful soul who deserves much respect, happiness. God bless you, Josh. I send my love from México.
- Shelby Small: Joshua!!! This makes me so happy. Being your true authentic self is absolutely powerful & beautiful, no matter what the outside world may think. The core of who you are is so obviously a genuine, good person & I feel blessed and privileged to be able to get a small glimpse into your life and the way you impact the world around you. Keep on doing what you're doing, you will succeed & be the greatest version of yourself that could ever be possible! Love you so much!!!
- Vampiress Ashley: Megan you kind of just contradicted yourself. All I have to say about all this is, These YouTubers put themselves out there online. All of us have opinions about it because we watch them. I do think all of this is assumptions, bc we don't all truly know. None of us know these people not really. I do have my assumptions though, and sometimes actions speak louder than words.
- Black and Natural in Jerusalem: "Being true to ourselves from the start, and not just when the bad stuff happens." Thank you for saying this. Thank you for this vulnerability.
- Fizzygirl79: Well said Josh! Good for you! Self realization is a huge step and it lets us know you are ..you.
- krista marie: take care josh❣️
- Brittany Sosa: Thank you for this. I know your viewers want to see the real you. I feel like we watch you guys not only because we love your personality, but also because we want to have others to relate to. When you are hiding how you feel, you are not allowing others to be open to you. I spent the past year struggling with severe anxiety and depression, and I never told anyone, not even my own husband. I didn't want people to look at me as if something were wrong with me. I walked around acting like I was 100% fine and myself, but I wasn't. I finally realized that if I keep that to myself, I will end up much worse. I have to be better for my self, my husband and my son. Telling my husband was the best choice I made. Have my days been easier because of it? Not always, but having someone there to fight beside me has made it so much better. Thank you for putting this out there. I hope that your openness to your viewers shows them that it IS ok to say how you really feel. I am proud of you, and I look forward to seeing this new style of video. :)
- Alyssa Dumas: go for it Josh! be you, be yourself, I'll still be here! We're all growing, most of us as adults here, and we understand.
- Shining Weeper: aww whyyy I forgot :c
- CitizenOfTheEU: Josh, this is very true. I see so many youtubers saying "I'm sorry that I was negative. You guys want positivity" etc. And I get it. It's okay to not wanting to show when you're sad or anything on Youtube. But this sentence reflects an unhealthy way of dealing with problems. Yes, we should be positive in our lives. But we are not always and that's totally fine. Accepting to be sad or angry is healthy. Sure, not for years and years, but for the amount of time it needs to heal. And someone down in the comments said that this might affect younger viewers in their way of dealing witg unhappy things in life and I agree. So thumbs up Josh for being honest with yourself. That demands courage!
- Ellie Labedz: Well, on the bright side, your hair looks amazing this way ❤
- Sarah Boone: This needed to be said so badly and I'm so glad you had the courage to say it.
- Monica Baeza: Did you guys see the light in the back turns off
- Flor G.: I think i'm gonna like the real Josh better.
- iamDannyDeZinna: Emily Shapiro I'm so confused as to how I was being judgemental, I made an observation that Colleen's life update video was cued up to play right after this video, there's irony there, that's all.
- Haley: no, i don't feel like i know anyone i watch. maybe it's bc i feel like i don't really know anyone because no one is real at the end of day.... they are just what everyone wants them to be. unfortunately for you - you are in a community where you can't be YOU. i hate it for you, although i've been here since your beginning ; you don't deserve what's going on with you. truth will always set you free, and being the real you forever and always will always help in the long run because all the fake bs falls to the way side and what's left? i hope and wish for your happiness josh, good luck. ❤
- Crystal Ayala: GOSH DARN IT!! PREACH!! Sorta made me cry a bit. It is hard putting your true real self out there. But josh you inspire me and hopefully others to be who want to be in the best possible way. I love you josh!! ✌️
- J Walk: *being yourself, your real authentic self is ALWAYS the better choice. good luck Josh, in finding your happy place.
- Cuteekay825: MANY youtubers have been using this topic lately, I think its a content thing.....
- Cesca: You keep doing what you're doing Josh because your amazing 🙂🙂
- Natalia Bedoya Prieto: Love it! ❤
- Anthony Donald: I'm kidding btw
- Sydney Jayde: You are such an inspiration to me, to society and to a lot of people. You are seriously amazing and i look forward to watching your videos for a long time now. You have inspired me since you first started and you continue to inspire me now. At first i was a shy theatre kid who was afraid to be the real me and go out there to make a difference, after watching this i am now a theatre freshman major in college wanting to make a better version of myself and make myself more confident with who i am. Thank you for always inspiring me, i love you so much my role model!
- Nattie Grace: I agree 100% that people are the best versions of themselves when they are surrounded by their greatest friends. I'm excited to see what this new project brings and what advice and knowledge everyone has to offer (because I'd sure love to receive some nuggets of wisdom regarding questions I have about my own life) Love you always Joshua❤
- joji trashh: u still upset about that situation
- Willowherbstribe: Your plan for the future sounds like the best decision you have ever made with your channel. Great, interesting direction to go to. I'm 100% aboard
- brooklyn williams: Whattttt isss thissss abouttttt
- Kaitlyn Laufenberg: No one could've said it better
- Lousson2695: Good luck, Josh.....
- TooJudy: this needs to go super viral. I'm done with faking happiness on YouTube - it really gets people down when something bad shows up. Go Josh! 💪💪💪
- Maddie Nakhla: I've never been so anxious waiting for a video before! I think we all really needed to hear this. Thank you Josh!!
- Amber Nelms: I support this. I hate fake. It's okay to be vulnerable bro. I'm going through an extremely hard time myself. I haven't been able to carry a baby, and it has been 5 years of trying, and it has broken my whole world in two. Life is heartbreaking at times. It's good to see real life on a very fake platform.
- shane dawsons left eyebrow: orava✌
- Liz Zimmerman: I love this so much! So inspiring! I have been watching YouTube for yeaaaarrssss and honestly, lately I have started to lose interest in a lot of YouTubers that I once loved. They all seem to be the exact same. They drive the same cars, decorate their houses the same, event talk the exact same. It has gotten me wondering who is even still real or being true to themselves. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Josh, for being real and true to yourself & putting out content that I can appreciate and know is 100% honest & reflects the true you! Love you so much & I pray that you continue to heal <3
- Dayna Musgrove: Awesome job! This is a very hot topic, the 'forced positivity' has definitely gone overboard. We are all human and it's OK to have bad days for no reason at all, it's what we do with those days. You have taken some of your worse moments and feelings and put them into your creativity and that has been amazing to watch. I look forward to continuing on this journey with you and seeing where this leads. *Highfive*
- randomgal: There's nothing wrong with who you are, Yes No's egos, fake shows, Like "woo", just go, and leave me alone, Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight, With a smile, that's my own :D
- Shay Rae: thank you for sharing this, i agree with everything
- Katie Preston: LOVE the honesty. LOVE the positivity. LOVE the message. LOVE YOU JOSHUA! Great video!!
- Yasmin Kadir: i also love how not click bait-y this title was. first step to being real in youtube world is not click baiting lol
- Luh bx89: You're the cutest and I love your heart.
- Macy R: This was really good josh
- Yahynus Hunter: I love you Josh and you be your self
- Brad Onorato: Thank you. I appreciate what you're saying and look forward to more content from you. Live life to the best of your ability. BRAD ONORATO, Napa, CA
- Carl Owens: BITCH
- Grace Cunningham: be yourself....I try. I try so hard. but what if when I be myself I get judged. bullied. hurt. abused. I can't that's not how it works

- Shanon Canonizado: Joshua you are incredible! I know people are going to hate on you for this, but I think you are amazing for doing this and you will help some people through tough situations! Even if it's just 1 person, won't it be worth it? You're such a sweet guy I love you! ❤❤
- Peaceylove 234: I love the Netflix background!
- Kiki Mtz: can I be on your snapchat ❤❤❤❤
- Ashley Alvarez: Love you lots 💘 Josh you look great with your hair like that. Always be who you really are because thats the best version 😃🌟
- Darcy Bhaiwala: Good for you Josh! we all need this message
- Caitlin Strebor: YES 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
- kennedy donaldson: That means a lot and inspires keep being u💪💪😉
- Nick La Grua: Josh you are truly a good person and you care about everyone, but the best part is that you know yourself well enough to call stuff out and say we should change this. Being authentic is hard, but it is do-able and you're starting authenticity by calling everything and everyone out. This is the reason why we subscribed to you. Thank you Joshua. AMEN BROTHA!
- sara H: I don't agree with this. I don't understand people that defend youtuber's actions when they shouldn't be defended, or fight against people who have an opinion that is not necessarily harmful -but I do appreciate people standing up against other's who say mean things or are bullying. We(the audience) may not know these people personally, but they are people. And I think decent human beings don't like to see others put down for no reason knowing it will affect them.
- Olivia Rutherford: i love this video so much. i am a young girl, in the middle of growing up, regular middle class family, middle school and this video really touched my hear
- Cynthia Espinosa: Beautifully said, I love the authenticity, it drives me nuts when YouTubers try to portray this perfect life where nothing bad ever happens. I like to know the honesty over the fake positivity.
- Solo Jerome: Josh i support what you are going to do. Just be the best version of yourself.
- Kc Harrington: I understand were you are coming from people don't understand that youtubers are real people and I feel like you josh are always the true you that is why I've watched you for 4 years now.I love how completely real this video was you could tell josh was not faking emotion.he is the second youtubers that has made a video like this Charles trippy made a similar video a few years back that showed the real him and showed again that youtubers are people just like all of us sry about my rabling I'm just happy to see that josh is being him.
- your favorite: When he was talking about our problems and stuff I assure you have no idea what I am going through. My boy friend of three year has been sleeping with my all time best friend for 2 and a half years and now she is pregnant with his baby dumped and now I am being judged for dating him and as soon as I found out he was cheating I dumped him
- Tami S.K.: It's so refreshing to know that you recognize the lack of authenticity on social media. I'm so looking forward to your future content!
- Genna Barrington: JOSH!! This was fucking incredible. I got goosebumps. I've watched the videos for years, I've watched the different reactions. I've watched as one kind of went backwards. And I watched as YOU progressed. You have learned so much from this change in life, and it shows. Comparisons aside, I'm beyond proud that a YouTuber, that YOU, are breaking the mold and at least attempting to show a truer or more genuine side. That doesn't mean you have to share your "Entire life" with everyone, but I know that what you DO show, you'll try to make sure it's authentic and honest, and for that you're a baller and a bad ass- you're gonna start a trend, I know it. Thank you for doing this. The young people watching youtubers need you. You're doing a great thing.
- Chazzles: Really needed this video Josh. What you are saying is exactly what I need to do and be in my life...myself. If your videos are anything like this Josh, it's going to be great. Thank you once again!
- judith alnz: we will always love you for who you are!! thats what we signed up for :") we love you josh!
- Bubby707: I appreciate this honestly, I feel like there are youtubers who do project their authentic self and then youtubers who try to be too sunshine and rainbows or just are putting on a face when they are even just vlogging which i feel is suppose to be authentic otherwise what is the point. I think there is a way to be authentic and realistically portray yourself while you can still have boundaries and not air your dirty laundry, you can be like, hey im not gonna talk about x y or z but I also am not gonna act in front of the camera and pretend to be something else than what I am or what I feel. I don't see the point of vlogging if you are putting fake you out there, then just make your other content or make whatever, but vlogging is suppose to be the real you.
- Andrea Nicole: Ashley Wright it's spelt "au revoir " lol it's french
- Blair Baker: Authenticity and vulnerability speak a lot more to people than something that is unattainable. You are lovely Josh. Keep up the good work. I'm old enough to be your mama, have lived a life of huge ups and downs, immense loss and growing up as a California girl, learned to smile and project that I was okay even when I wasn't and all that did was give me tummy aches because I wasn't acknowledging the pain. If we aren't real about our pain, then we deprive ourselves of the comfort we can get from our community, and that is really important. Keep being real Josh. You will be surrounded by the right people when you do that, and people who don't get it aren't the ones you really want around you anyway.
- Mc Crystal: Fuck yeah Josh! You be the true you. If you loose some followers then fuck it, the real ones who care and want to know you will stay and support you no matter what. Which is what we all really want in life is to be accepted. I appreciate you, keep it up man. #GoJosh
- Victoria Newkirk: I recently grappled with this myself last year, and funny enough it was after a break up too. I realized that life was too short to be your true, authentic, self and if you can't be completely honest with the people in your life, you don't need them. I don't use much of social media other than Youtube or Facebook, and I hate looking around and seeing phones. People creating these online personas that project the version they desire to be that they don't connect in real life and embody that persona. I too am a people pleaser and I was that person who cared so much about what others thought of me and whether or not they liked me that I lost who I was. I was no longer genuine, which is one of my favorite qualities about myself now. I force people to say what they are truly thinking so they don't blow off steam being passive-aggressive on twitter or other forms of social media. Not only do they feel better about being honest, but it strengthens our friendship which is what you experienced when you talked to your friend. It bothers me how people prioritize followers over real friends, I guess it's quantity vs. quality.
- Gina Marie: Thank you!
- Gard: Gay
- Gandalf Odinson: We have to project otherwise we get hurt
- Kaileigh30: Thank you for speaking your mind! I hope to see this more!!
- Tala Tala: Finally ! I'm so proud of you joshua and I'm so glad you decided to take this road and FYI we don't watch your videos just to adjust our mood and go on with our lives . we watch you because it's you the amazing , the honest , the sensitive , the guy whose favourite movie is the notebook , the guy with the biggest heart ever 💜 JOSHUA DAVID EVANS 💜 this is the guy who we love and come here to see no matter what the content of the video is . Please don't worry about people's opinion in you and whether they're gonna like you or not just be yourself because YOU is WONDERFUL .
- Molly Moo: I really needed to hear this.. Thanks for being you Josh, you are truly inspiring
- Brian O'Dowd: +Zimm VI true, true!
- Fareen Chowdhury: You're amazing, you truly are
- Kylieoconn: I think this is my favorite video❤
- Anne Bugeja: Josh, I have to say this one thing... For every person that doesn't like you or who decides to unsubscribe from you, there's 2 or 3 others that do come to like you for the person you truly are, new people that will subscribe to you, for the right reasons. This is the actual best thing that could possibly happen to you as your new authentic self, the new projection of truth. So just be you, do what you do & everything else will follow & it's in our truth Josh, that we truly start living & we are truly inspired & even better, inspiring to others. Be kind to yourself xox Big love, Annie xox
- Jadyn Howard: I go by a lot of these morals in my life. My attention was grabbed through out the entire video and I believe you did an excellent job executing what you wanted to say, and I think it is a wonderful idea. Most of the time I feel like most youtubers are not truly authentic when they vlog, and I also feel like you would make a real one on one connection with us the "subscribers" or even fans whatever you prefer. Ilysm Josh and I wish you the best. A lot of people including myself are growing and changing for the better this year and I deeply believe that you are apart of that community. <3
- Christine R: Because of this video, I am going to subscribe to you.
- Bahar Adhikary: Josh why don't you make short films inspired by real lives!!! You would rock it. We all love you for who you are. We are with you.
- Jem Uoo: does anybody know why they divorced
- sarah shaul: Josh i really liked this and glad that you opened up to us because were like your second family the dingle berries and i really missed this josh and im happy that your back
- Jesica N: Love, love, love the idea Josh!
- MsBlabbermouth100: Thank you Josh for choosing to be authentic with us. I know we are going to love you more than ever! Stay strong and know that we always have your back, no matter what.
- M Shann: Can I just thank you cuz I totally see where your coming from like Shay and PVP and CTFXC so many are falling apart for putting on a mask we can only hold masks on your faces so long till we suffocate. I'm not that that we should never put fake faces on cuz there's times in life where if life really sucks sometimes you have to be the bigger person and put a fake face on for a few hrs just to get by---but if you live in it it will take over and ruin you
- Anthony Caruso: you know i have a rule with the people that i have in my life and thats to not have people who are fake in your life. i recently had someone who i believed to come across fake and it frustrated me. i kept asking the question who are yo? i can't get to know somebody if there not being genuine. as a subscriber to you for naw going on three years i don't believe i know who you are i only know you from your videos and how you present yourself to me or others online. i am just happy to see that you can be honest with the community and you can only go up from here all the best Josh
- MisterMarmalade1: You are the perfect you! Thank you for being so real. I love your channel and I hope you become OK at some point soon. For you. Never gonna unsubscribe!
- Bryanne Garner: IM SO HERE FOR THE AUTHENTICITY JOSH SO HERE FOR IT. LOVE YOU.
- SweetAndSassySouthernBelle: hugs and kisses Josh I love you
- Justine Marie13: Josh, I'm so proud of you. This is an important topic in the youtube "world." As an older viewer (31), I can tell when someone is "fake," or in pain, and I find it hard to watch sometimes because I'm the kind of person that wants to reach out and help. I also know that I only see 10 edited minutes if your life once a week, so in reality, I know very little about who the "real" Josh is. I feel the problem is SOME of the younger viewers don't fully understand these things, and that makes it difficult to show the real dark crappy things in life that knock us down sometimes. Truth be told Josh I think you're a strong person and doing a great job giving the hand you've been dealt lately. Remember to be nice to yourself, you're going to make mistakes, and that's OK. I'm excited about this next step in your life and seeing " authentic Josh." Cheers!
- Lauren Collins: "Some drama, some scandal, some child you didn't know about." -josh "COUGH COUGH JESSE!" -me
- S G: "some child you never knew about" lol Jesse wellens!!!! he has a child we never knew about
- Jess_K: this is amazing josh:)
- Haley B: Love you always Josh! Stay strong 💜💙
- Kaitlin Morgan: Thank you so much for this video Josh! I'm not a YouTube but I can still relate, especially when you said how we project ourselves in a certain way, but that's not who we truly are. That's what I've been struggling with lately... How to be myself while others expect someone different. You are an inspiration and I appreciate your honesty💕
- Britton Caris: Josh. This is in incredible. I myself so that whole projecting thing. I 100% agree. We all need to be honest. I don't know if you've ever watched him or heard of him, but this is similar to what happened Charles Trippy. He's been vlogging almost 9 years everyday in a row. He went through a divorce in 2014. People came up with false cheating scandals because they didn't like the truth. Ever since then, he's been as honest as possible. I feel like he's honestly the happiest he's ever been. If you have the time, check out his story. It's a wild one. Love you. I can't wait for the new videos.
- Ahmed saeed: She moved on in a blink and the poor guy still can't get over her until now. Which shows that her priorities were fame and YouTube and never cared about marriage and a husband. She ended it because she didn't want her marriage to hold her back. I cannot believe he's still not over her and she didn't have any down time whatsoever .
- Not Important: I'm so proud of you for making this video! You told us how you are REALLY feeling, and told your thoughts on this situation. We love you so much Josh!!!!!!
- Josie Leon: Rhys Maidlow thank you so much. It's been a hard time lately. It seems as though everything piles on top and never ends. It gets so bad, I talked someone out of suicide the other day, and I'm the reason they are still alive today. It's a lot to carry so thank you tons
- Emily Cassel: YES here is the Josh I subscribed to.
- Bree M: third
- Joey Floey: this is a great video josh. i love videos when you just poor your heart out and tell us what is wrong. there is no way that i would unsubscribe. you are an amazing person and we are here for you. be yourself. we love you, josh. it doesn't matter who you are it matters what you are. i love you. stay strong. ❤️
- Shelby Smith: I know how hard it is trying to be fake to make others happy, April 30 of last year I was 15 and I was hit by a car. The car Knocked me 50 feet and 5 inches and I am now 16 and to this day I still struggle and have to wake up willing to fight the battle I know I will face through out my day. I haven't backed down yet, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengths me" don't forget that
- Dark Fall: this guy is awesome he speaks greatness
- heartincali7: I'm glad you addressed the shaytards (in a speedy way)
- GloriaNak: I think most of us who have regular You Tubers we watch and enjoy feel as though we know them. If you really think about it it is obvious that we are only seeing what the creator has edited together for the viewer. I love Josh and will continue to enjoy his content no matter what direction he decides to go. I look forward to getting to know him more.
- RachelMarie: Good to have you back, man. Shit's hard, but everything gets better eventually.
- Chet Parker: And I will always love you❤︎💕💖💘. -Whitney Houston
- Mila Decheco: this is why i follow you
- Anthony Donald: kys no one likes you
- Pug Pop: Thank God! no more fake crap, and no thumb thing at the end, and I am sure you can do better than tasting food on your channel. If you choose to be a youtube vlogger, than share your real life. Good, bad and ugly. No one wants there time wasted with fake crap, good for you!
- Jayme Jauregui: Part of me wishes she would come to her senses and go to him, but part of me feels like he has been jerked around enough and she might end up walking away AGAIN therefore he is better off.
- Josephine 03: <3
- crqstal: I haven't even watched the video yet but I know I'm gonna cry so PRAY FOR ME 😂🙏🏻💖
- 28Mangoz: Thanks you really helped me
- Rachel Deborah: Best video ever!!!
- butpreviously: <3
- Kristy Michas: Fantastic choice !! Looking forward to it
- Jemimah JT: Just the first 5 minutes was enough to make me emotional. You'll be better Josh, in fact you'll be awesome with so many amazing opportunities. God bless
- Michael O'Neill: that was so inspirational
- Bern on Cars: "Fix your life." It's not that easy...
- Liv Morris: your realness, authenticity, and perspective on life is unreal. love you josh. you're killing it and im so proud
- Devon *: Youtubers have tricked us all into thinking they have the perfect lifestyle purely because not many are honest about the bad aspects of their life. I'm not bashing them at all, nobody wants to put negative aspects of their life on the internet but we are led to believe that they're all rich and wallowing in money and flash houses and happiness and then they get mad that everyone thinks their life is perfect. I think what you're doing is great Josh, I'm so excited to see what you come out with and who you become! We all love you 💜💜💜
- Christina Stroup: Absolutely, I've been going through some similar stuff with ppl in my life whom I thought I could be real with and when I was they weren't as.supportive because they wanted the fun, optimistic, upbeat me as if I never have a bad day in my life. When I did I was told that they didn't want that in their life, I mean I was having a bad day and this person was ready to stop being my "friend" because of it. Yet I was there for her for all her bad days. I just think ppl have an unreal perception of what someone else can be. Yes I am a happy person but not everyday of the year, that would be scary. So I've lost a lot of friends for being my true self but realized they weren't my real friends in the first place. Thank you for being you, the real you!
- Dani Francis: This is the first video I watched of yours in awhile and I'm glad I did.
- Sophia Janneran: We love u and support u Josh
- Lee Frampton: I love you Josh very Much and I mean it you almost made me cry with this video you are awesome and I want you to know that any one agree give a thumbs up. I love you Josh
- kirbytron 3000: it's funny because i've been thinking about this exact thing in my life. how i change depending on who i'm with because i want people to like me. it's exhausting. i just want to be me. i've been telling myself lately "just be you". i'm so weird, awkward, funny, smart, fun, loud, quiet, etc. i suppress myself and mold myself into something refined and collected so people do not see me as out of the box. i wonder how many out of the box people are around me and i don't even know it. let's all step out of the box.
- Jessica Ferguson: who wishes joshleen would come back I miss them
- Letierisch: I think you are such a great youtuber! I am so glad you made this desicion:)
- KelseyTheKhaleesi: you watch, Colleen will make a similar video to pretend to care just for veiws, I'm calling it now...
- Linette Kindle: Alexis Stewart I agree with you.
- Varsha Manjunath: it makes perfect sense to me.. authenticity is the most lacking quality at this moment.. everyone keeps trying to please the other person rather than being who you are.. I miss the old times at lot.. the pressure of social media to have a good time everyday is a lot.. the reality is everyday is not going to be the same, ups and downs are the necessity of life.. it's very rare for people to understand that.. I have always respected you and your thoughts..I love you even more now.. not all can be honest about this..
- Mia Roldan: We don't know what's really happening and we will never truly know every detail or each side of the story. But regardless of what we don't know, stay strong. All we can assume is that you are struggling and we hope you get through it :)
- Molly Sterner: YES. I love this and I think what you're doing is great, keep going!
- Little Timmy: At least your hair still looks amazing 😉😁😁
- chats with kat: I wholeheartedly agree. I only just made a channel of my own, but I've decided to not be anything other than authentic. It might not make me "youtube famous", but at least it's raw and honest. Great video man.
- mary jane: I've always admired you so much, but wow this video made me respect and love you even more 🙌🏻
- Kerry White: maybe u should also discuss what happened?.. for your own recovery?
- Emily Bennett: 100% agree with what your saying that we don't show what truly reflects the reality of our lives. Need to live in the real world of what we actually are.
- funkuchen2: you seem so much more intelligent if you are yourself!
- Emily Birk: I love you so much Josh! You have helped me through so many tough times in my life. This is an amazing video and I'm excited for the authentic Joshua! ❤❤❤
- Katy. h18: #StayNiceToPeople 💖💖💖💖
- IndigoIndignation: Becca and how you stop the negative leeches like that is to not give in. don't acknowledge their opinion and realize that you can never change their reality. You can only change yours - and how do you want it to be?
- kelsie bridgewater: i've had a lot of issues with different ways certain things have been handled these past couple of months but this is just genuine, raw, and authentic. josh your honest state is compelling and it's the best version of you. i'm really proud of you for making this video. ❤️
- ArtJourneyUK: Boom! Always be your true self. Not everyone will like you and that's ok.
- jordyn gwell: YAAAAAAAAAAS IM BACK IN THE JOSHUADTV GAME!! BRING ON THE AUTHENTIC JOSH CONTENT ✌🏼💕 see u next week
- pelliemae p: love u
- Chet Parker: I just realized I was the fourth person🙌🙌🙌
- Sara Duncan: Josh - this is my favourite video that I've seen of you. Your authentic self is awesome.
- Natalie Maher: Good for you, Josh! I met you in Tempe at the Shadow Tour and I loved interacting with you, Julien and Arnold! Thank you for being real!
- void newt: Robyn Downes i feel you.
- Valerie Rainbows: Just be yourself my friend! I am sure you are a great guy when you are being real too. Just remember that you are strong, and you will get through this, Keep singing with your heart. Big hugs!
- bella doo: Thanks for making this video I fully support you I'm sorry that media bends the truth Your amazing and do what makes you happy " People laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at them because they are all the same " -Unknown
- Aubry Allen: Wow Josh that was so inspirational. All of the #dingleberrys will love you for who you are! Your amazing ❤ you!
- Rachel Jones: It's okay to not be okay. That makes for the best times to find yourself and it seems like you have! I'm so glad to see you be so open and genuine with your viewers. Thanks for being you!
- alyssajohnson: I love you so much
- Tanaya Leigh: I really love what you said about being authentic and upfront. I’ve been dealing with that recently too. I don't necessarily think you are being dishonest with yourself in projecting positivity though. I think that is a real side of you; someone who genuinely wants to make a difference in other people’s lives in a positive way, and you do that for me and for many other people. I admire your courage in being honest with yourself about not feeling okay, and I truly hope you find that inner peace and happiness because no one deserves it more than you do. I think its amazing that you have a group of friends who genuinely care and are there to provide an ear and support. I wish you the very best, and I always look forward to your music and our vlogs. Sending positive thoughts your way Joshua!
- jeremyud: On a shallow note...I really like your hair that way. Please keep it.
- Kelly S: the message got to me. People arent always interested how you are. If you say no im not, they are shocked. So you say yah Im fine. Thats not the people I want in my life. showing a nice picture is sometimes how who keep ourself together but thats not how you heal. Suround yourself with nice people who care
- madelers: Oh Josh, you are doing something extraordinary here! I feel like YouTube still exists in this world of not quite knowing what it is at this point. I think you could be on to something big in changing the face of what entertainment can be. And screw it if people don't like it! You have an unconditional subscriber in me! 👏🏼
- Tracy Burd: you be you
- Leah Unicorn Dillon: Good work keeping it real. You will see your demographic change, which I believe will be for the better. Those that keep supporting you will become a hard-core fan base. Also, efffff-it...do you!!
- Kaitlynn: I needed this. sometimes it's okay to be sad and feel an emotion besides happiness. too many people put on a front of "being okay". thank you❤
- Gretchen Genrich: 👐👐 been subscribed for a while now, and I'm liking this Josh the best. Even if people do unsubscribe, who cares....ultimately it's YOUR happiness that matters.
- Faith Lesuer: I love you josh!
- Gina Rodriguez: I don't quite understand the purpose of this video. You say you're "not okay" that you want to portray the real you because "no one's perfect". I think most of us figured that out a long time ago but welcome to the club. Then you go on to say you and your friends are creating a new segment where you want to hear about other people's problems and discuss them/give advice. Still not sure what one has to do with the other, my sense is that the title was just click bait but how out of touch can you be? I'm not sure what your audience base is but my guess is that it's a bunch of young teenage girls who watch because they think your cute. The fact that youtubers still think that people are actually buying the "my life is great, look at my vlogs" fakeness is funny to me. We can see straight through the bullshit and we know half the stuff portrayed on this platform is just for show. You got your click outta me, I thought maybe you actually had something of substance to say. Good luck on the new segment, hope you are able to find the "real you". Smh lol.
- Hannah Ackles: This is a great idea and I hope authenticity can ripple throughout the community.
- Glenn Dallas: I wish you luck with this, sir.
- Kelly: Way to throw shade at Jessie, Josh😑
- Cassi J: I like your hair Josh 👍🏻👍🏻
- Esther Garcia: I love this.
- Christina LaTorraca: Josh, you're so strong and you are so brave! I think you have been dealt with such a difficult situation but here you are being a great example of a real, genuine person. Thank you. I will always stay subscribed.
- Keith Rodes: Just. Be. - Love you, Josh. ❤
- Lynn Glener: I think this is exactly what we've all been waiting for. As an "older" viewer, I really appreciate how more honest and mature your videos have evolved. This is the kind of content I'd really rather see.
- Dezh22: Transparency. It's hard to deal with and unfortunately, social media doesn't promote that.
- ftEmmett: About two or three months ago, I had this exact same conversation with myself. For such a long time, 17 years to be exact, I spent my life pretending to be who I thought *other* people wanted me to be, and then I spent two years pretending to be the person *I* wanted to be, until I finally realized that was what was making me so miserable. SO I've vowed to be authentic to *myself*, and not to who other people want me to be or even who I want to be, but to actually just *be* ME. I didn't use to post much on my youtube channel, but when I did, I couldn't bear to watch myself in them after editing them, because it was all so *fake*. But since I came to this realization, I found myself *wanting* to rewatch the last few videos I've made because I was being *real*. I commend you, Josh, for coming to this realization as well, and I hope more of us can be more authentic in real life as well as online. I wish you the best.
- Amanda Lockamy: i appreciate you josh
- NatureLvr: @joshuadtv what happened to your twitter account??? I can't find you under the name you use???
- Danica Que: I love the hair though
- Joanna November: Best decision you could ever make, Josh! Authenticity is of great value, on YouTube and everywhere else and there will be many many people who support you on this journey. Thank you for sharing and spreading the message that vulnerability is okay and normal and nothing to be afraid of. It's part of life the same way that happiness, sadness, love and anger are. We're humans, emotions of all sorts are deeply connected to our nature of being.
- Jaden Bryant: Just- be. really, the best thing I've heard all day. thankyou Josh❤
- EvanReitan: I make content on YouTube and I know I am not completely authentic on camera. I think a lot of people struggle with being fake on camera. I can't help it lol.
- Brooke Lorennn: Thank you for making this video Josh. Never be afraid to be completely authentic. It's what we are here for. ❤
- Katerina Joan: this is my favorite video you have ever made.
- jackie roach: this is why I love you. you are the realest person on youtube. you're not afraid to display your emotions. it's ok to be happy or sad or angry and a lot of people don't realize that. if being real makes some one lose subscribers or friends, then they weren't real friends or fans in the first place. if they're not around to see you struggle then they don't deserve to be around to see you succeed. Love you Josh stay strong!
- Kelly Bean: This is such a great video with an important message, Josh! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you!
- Frankie Sulla: Thank you so much Josh, this is exactly what I have been needing to hear. Thank you for being you and for allowing yourself and others to accept that. Thank you for inspiring me.
- Anna Valencia: sometimes I could be sad too I moved from my home state about 4 in a half year ago and it's still kinda hurts my friend that lives my home state moved where i moved then they had problems and they left when they were here I felt like I was at my home state even at school i was getting good grades but when she left at school i kinda got bad grade but some good and I just wish I had a lot of money so i can make them come back and buy them a apartment this Is why I could be sad sometimes
- Haiden Hill: josh, im late, but this video is incredible
- Jessica N: sally you are exactly right!
- Alani Lagoa: It's ok to not be ok I hope you feel better Josh it takes a while To build a better head place after something sad happens in our life it'll get better
- arankahes: You have no idea how perfectly timed this video is for me! Thank you so much Josh! x
- Krystin S: THIS!!!! This is what I have been waiting for from you!! I am so glad you have come to this place, and that you're allowing your true self to come through. I think a lot of us admire honest, authentic people, and I'm glad that you're ready to put the schtick aside and be true to who you are. And we love you for who you are 👏👏❤❤❤
- Madison Ely: "just be" :))))
- OkMoonShapedLimb: Josh. You deserve to find a really good girl and to be happy. I really hope you'll find someone and I'm so proud of you. Hugs
- SpunkyGeek Girls: I don't have an attention span long enough for long YouTube videos, lol
- Christopher Romero: I love that finally a YouTuber that I have seen for long time comes with a video a like this😄😄😄
- Alli Gordon: really good
- Christin Kolbeck: I had no idea how much I needed to hear this! Thank you so much xxx
- Analee Josselyn: Go for it....be you!!!!
- rosepetal0523: I can't imagine the pain that you're going through. I sincerely thing about it on a regular basis. Wishing you the best, Josh and this video was right on point!
- Danielle Sciortino: Always supporting you, Josh💛
- Emily Colon: this made me cry and josh when i saw the news and they said that your divorce was fake i was mad because who would lie about that type of situation
- Beccagui: The one thing that makes me upset about this is that when you, Josh, are trying to be authentic there are going to be people giving so much hate. Like if one day you're upset, you're going to be honest with us and say 'I'm not okay" and we know someone is going to say "you're just looking for attention" or "you need to stop using this situation to make us feel bad for you" and things like that, and it's upsetting. I wish everyone would realize that people get upset. People feel like actual crap some days and need to let it out. There are always reasons behind our actions. I just hope it goes so so well for you Joshua, I love you. ❤️
- Jennifer Walker: well said can't wait to see more videos
- Leila Allebe: My name is Leila and i have been watching you channel for a few years now. From then to now you have changed so much. I would watch your videos and there would be positivity bubbling off of you. It got me in a good mood that day and its b/c of that good mood that I met a good friend. I want to thank you so much. I can see how sad you are these days. Right now you just need to be around people you love to turn your frown upside-down. And I just want you to know I am sorry.
- skyerohlfs: this is so real and i respect you so much. (also ur having a bomb ass hair day) love you ❤️
- Lemons _: I think it really brought his point back around when he didn't do his signature sign off. hits alittle deep. much respect for you josh!❤
- gwen b: :/ sending love your way !!
- MAK _LOLZ: Wow I subscribed this is an awesome video. just wanted to say thank you😊
- Jessica G: Thank you for this video, josh. I really truly want you to find happiness in being your authentic self and not caring what others have to say or read too much into. I'm excited to see where your channel goes creatively. It was time for a change and I'm so excited for you!
- Laura Stark: Your the best! I love you😃❤ i mean this im your number 1 fan🙏🏻 i love what you said
- Claire Beard: dang this is deep - totally agree with the authentic part
- Stevie Hart: This is awesome! I respect and love your ideas! Good for you! #authentic #real #raw
- Amy Gray: Great video Josh ❤❤❤
- stacey kingrey: You should absolutely be authentic or real or whatever! I would rather watch videos of people being themselves than some fake crap and people. just be you sweetheart you seem pretty awesome to me
- Maddy Jeffery: this all really needed to be said, thank you for being so real josh xxx
- Camille Williams: Josh you will be fine, I love watching your content and I'm a 25 yr old woman. Your demo is getting older! That's a good thing, I need some kind of mature relatable content. I am a recent widow and I want to ask a large platform a question or 2 to see the consensus. 😂 youre going to be alright Joshua, you are gonnnna be alrighgght. Life happens man, this last year I've been faced with my own mortality and life it's tooooo fucking short to woulda coulda shoulda, just do it. If it doesn't work out, next idea, next venture, we are a species that has amazing adaption skills. I think your capable of a smooth transition into the Joshua you want the world to view you as instead of the sugar coated one we HAD before us. Best of luck Bud, just know you have quite a few of us who have your back.
- Kassy O: Finally! Someone needed to say it!
- Abby G: this video is amazing.. you're amazing Josh.. I love you:,)❤️❤️
- Jennifer Gerez: I love you Joshua! I'm really proud of you for this! Thanks for being like a big bro!!🤙🏻💕
- Simply Handmade: This video!! I love how you addressed this. Being "fake happy" is a job in itself. Not saying everyone on the platform is being that way but there has to be a balance. There are good things and there are bad things. Youtubers showing who they really are to their viewers are much more relatable!
- Esther Reyes: Thank you for being you. It's nice to see someone authentic on youtube for once
- Genevieve Quinones: ❤️
- Becky's Balcony: What happen josh?
- Jenna Berry: Josh standing up in front of the camera and being himself truly made it feel like I was having a conversation with him in his living room. This is the Josh that I subscribed to a few years ago. This is the Josh I want to continue to see. It's a breath of fresh air (or content) to see on YouTube instead of the usual feel good, be happy content we see from the majority of youtubers.
- Savannah B: Praying for you Josh!! Just know God, your family, your friends, and we love you
- Kerry Bear: Ily
- Amanda Little: So proud of you ❤️
- Emma Nelson: YES! This is exactly what's the internet needs! Thank you!
- Rosa Rainbow: when that image crumbels we are left with someone we care about who needs help maybe not from us or maybe from us but they need help and nothing will change that we love and support them and those who stop never truly did. love you and so many others
- Kaykae Jahlynn: the realest video on YouTube. You rock Josh!
- Gracie Lou: YOU GO DUDE. SEND MY LOVE FROM BRUNSWICK GEORGIA
- Aidan Walsh: The only youtubers I know that I know are you, josh, and Joey Graceffa just because he has said so much about himself
- amaranth: I gained so much more respect for you because of this video... <3
- Lillian C: Josh, I normally don't respond to your videos. But here goes. At the end of the day, you have to be happy with yourself. I loved the message in your video. Love from Nashville to you.
- Vicki Lynne: Grace Robertson that rude
- Macy Parr xx: Who can see Netflix in the back on the TV (right side of the room)
- math who're: it'd be weird to assume that you were actual friends with an actor/celebrity just because you watch them a lot
- Allison Mcnutt: Man I would love to sit down and have a conversation with you... an actual down to earth person lol. I have recently stopped caring what other think of me... but some people still judge you... that how you know who the weeds are :)
- gracie: #WAP we're just people all these famous people are JUST PEOPLE. We highlight there talented and celebrate it but THEY ARE JUST PEOPLE we love live and laugh the same way we hurt the same way WE ARE JUST. PEOPLE
- Pikku Myy: He is a white version of fouseyTUBE. Mark my words.

- Caroline Rae: I love you ❤️❤️and early squad where you at??
- Nikki Farris: I love this. You inspire me. I see all these other youtubers being exactly the same and I just can't stand it. I do YouTube as well and I just don't want to be them. After watching this video it has inspired me to just be. To just be myself and just be authentic! Thank you Josh. I needed this. I will continue to watch and pray for you! ❤❤❤
- Catie&Bobby: Let's have the conversation! No one is perfect and here's a quote I love! "The space you occupy on this earth should be better because you were there."
- Zoie Abigail: Trueeee
- Ruhana Marijuana: You're awesome Josh keep doing u and thanks for making this vid <3

- Badoux Syelle: This. Is. Great.
- Chet Parker: That's a really good idea
- Kimberly H.: Ok I haven't watched for over 3 weeks and the beard is gone 😭💖 i still love how he looks without it 😍. Thats not the point , I hope Josh really gets better I know it takes time to heal and hes been through so much , (don't bash me for any religious things O say just my opinion ) but I know God really has good things for him in the future and I know he'll overcome all this sooner or later and finds someone who loves him and gives him his all . He deserves it he's such an amazing man and wants only good for anyone and you can see that. I love you Josh We all do and support anything you have to do in order to heal faster 💜💜Never hide who you are or how you feel ¡ Ignore those who try to find a way to bring you down because you're surrounded by many who love you ! 💜💜
- Anahi Zapien: So early where everyone @ 🤷🏽♀️😝😊
- Chloe McComas: keep up the good work😆😆😆
- treebles: if they are not together anymore, then i recommend not asking. usually, when i couple breaks up, especially if they have a child together, then they have thought it through. just know that they both love you very much + they tried as hard as they could so they could both have you in their lives all the time. now, you have to focus on the positives: you were created in love, they both still love you + always will. plus, now you get two sets of everything~ like two sets of gifts for your bday, etc! you are in the middle with love on both sides, cause you will always be their baby! the best thing they ever made! best wishes! 🚹💖👼🏻💖🚺
- Nicole Yanez: This had me thinking. It's all true i feel everyone projects there idol self sometimes. Then one day someone just breaks out and bes who they actually are. Like this is who i am and i hope/need you to accept me as who i really am
- Aishia Stanish: I'm so excited for you to truly start living your life just being you! you deserve all the love and respect in the world💕 see you soon 💕

- Lecia Willbanks: real...and I like this "format". feels more like standing there talking with you!
- Sergio Mendes: It is a good message and specially with all the changes that the online world have been having this last couple of years! :D
- Tina Dixon: Love this so much... SO many times I have heard youtubers I watch say we don't want to show you all the sadness in our life... But I am with you It would be nice to show that THEY are REAL and AUTHENTIC... NO one is OK all the time! It's OK to NOT be OK....
- Skeleton: 7 mins of bulllllllll
- BeekoKat [Marcia]: Joshua, this video brought me back. Hoping you'll stay true to this and I'm happy you're finding your own way.
- Regina Philange: I love him but hes said authentic 80 times in the first 3 minutes and i was genuinely concerned he was on adderall😂
- Ely Ponti: YESSSSS JOSH!👊🏼
- Nsimba: I like this type of videos much more than random stupid vlogs.
- Mike Barrows: I don't think you are saying that you are changing who you are, you are just going to share what you are going through. you are a likable dude and a human with issues like the rest of us. just share whatever you are going through good or bad. that's how the rest of us live.
- Sarah Bee: this is the best video I have ever watched on YouTube because it helped people but it also helped you and to be totally raw with your audience is the truest thing you can do.

- Eliana Godoy: Loved it can't wait

- Tech4YourNeeds: No I don't know the YouTuber reason they are showing what they want to show. This is not coming from a normal viewer. I'm a small Youtuber but I know how the process works. So I'm seeing it from a different angel then others.
- Grace Made: Morgan Smith LOL! Same!!!
- Hannah Rice: good job Josh! No one's perfect but you have to be the best of yourself you can be bc God didn't make this earth just so we can be sad all the time he made it so we can be joyful and grateful for the things we have and we can learn from all the hard things in life and change yourself so it doesn't happen. we all love you soooo much and we true fans will love you for you. ❤💕

- Sandra XO: The only YouTuber whose videos I like before I even watch them because I know they'll be relatable.
- rachel watson: 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
- Erica: For the record, this Josh - the real Josh - I have so much respect for him. I don't see myself unsubscribing from someone who's GENUINELY trying to be true to themselves and be open, honest, and happy. Wayta truly be an inspiration. That's how you do it. I may not know you personally, but as a human being, please know that I'm proud of you. Hope you get to read this! Sending warmth your way 😊
- Charlaine Wong: Hi Joshua!
- Justine Payton: The real you is absolutely amazing ❤
- Your path is unique and beautiful!: On the same page with you. Bravo! Congratulations! The world needs this, the discomfort that accumulates & follows not being authentic manifests in so many tragic ways mentally and physically.
- lydia: josh, when you're being real and authentic, you're really articulate and the words just flow naturally. it's a good look.
- Sara W: He should watch the ending of Bo Burnham's Make Happy standup.. This topic reminds me of it.
- Sarah King: This is by far the most real and authentic I've ever seen you be...I think people are going to respond really well to your new content if this is the kind of stuff you're putting out! 🙌 I've been a subscriber for a long time but a "fan" just recently...I think we all crave authenticity and realness and for people to know who we really are, even though that can be scary... super excited to see the content you create in the next few months. :)
- Samantha Portice: "You don't have to be perfect all the time. You can feel the pain, you can feel the happiness. Just be."
- SR.: This is amazing. Good luck =)
- Katrina Perdue: Love this, love you and your message Josh!
- helenakeating: I wish I could love this, liking it just doesn't seem to justify how I feel. yes, it's true that there are going to be people who don't like you, but there are far more that love you!!
- Kaitlin Mae Quigley: Hey, Josh. I love you. Thank you. Keep being authentic.
- Becky Kalas: You're amazing and I'm so excited for this new chapter! You reminded me how important it is to be honest with myself and others.

- Sabrina Vaz: Amanda G FAX YASSS GIRLL TOTES
- Laurenn: This is a great start, I'll definitely hang around to see you be you 👍✌️
- Brigitte Belle: I'm so happy to see more youtubers trying to put out more authentic content. And you're right about wanting to be liked by people, I think it's something WE ALL want and struggle with or can get consumed with--I know I certainly have! Thanks for setting an example of authenticity!

- Emma Occleston: we love you josh!!
- Sammawich: So I'm a completely unknown YouTuber, but I can say I've been my most authentic self in my videos. However, that being said that many be exactly why my videos go by the wayside and I remain unknown. I don't appeal to a broad spectrum of viewers. I also don't play the games of YouTube. I do think that to be successful on this platform you do have to play the game a bit, but maybe now that you have the subs/viewers you have the wiggle room to back up from the regular YouTube ways and be more authentic. I do believe you can be 100% authentic now that you have a better grip on the platform itself. also, I'm very excited for this shift in your channel. I found your videos through other YouTubers channels, but I stuck around because I loved your positive attitude and willingness to grow. Be true to yourself, and quality viewers will stand with you. 😀
- starstruckgurlus: You can only please some of the people some of the time not all of the people all of the time. Be you and stay true.
- Heather Quinn: I don't usually leave comments, but I had to say this. You look freaking great! :-)
- unspacy unspacy: I'm not going anywhere.
- kat garcia: Bae is waiting for me to get home so we can watch Netflix.... I told him to make a video and kill time til I get home... good job bae!😘
- Nathaniel Potter: This is good.. damn good!!! #bereal
- kcallamajaji: I think people forget that YouTube is still entertainment. It is still creators creating content. Sometimes you need to look at YouTubers like other celebrities, other Actors, because that's what they are. Even those who vlog. They aren't going to show their crappy sides, or the crappy things in their life because that's not part of their "script". While YouTube tends to be more honest and authentic than a regular TV shows or "reality" show, it's still edited to show what the creator wants the audience to see. That being said, Josh, you continue being the great creator that you are. I'll continue to watch because you entertain me and I enjoy the things you create.
- Elsey&Essie: I absolutely loved this!! Proud of you :)
- Dalila Cabrieles: you're one in a million, josh. i really pray and hope that you find someone who values you and loves you for the rest of your life. can't wait for this new content. xx
- Jacob: Like you seem so high in this video wtf
- wittney c: THIS made me want to unsubscribe just so I could resuscribe. Love this message.
- Ella Berman: YouTube has become such a inauthentic place. I feel like so many youtubers are so concerned with image. I don't relate to any of my old favourite youtubers anymore and I understand that it's a business in a sense in that I don't know any of you guys in real life and I'm okay with that. You are a content creator and if your content reflects what I believe in, I'm cool with that
- Dusty Crump: Can I be on your snap. Just because your hair is loooking snazzy??👌🏻👌🏻
- MrBklein31: Thank you Josh! I am going through a lot right now, and I needed to hear the things you said. I don't have a big group of friends to turn to, so while it may sound strange to have complete strangers comfort you without then even knowing it, that is what you have done. I am much older than you, but pain and learning about yourself never stops. We are both facing unbelievable things in marriages that didn't work, but all we can do is try to pick ourselves up and move on the best we can. Hopefully when we are both feeling like we are happy again we will see that it was for the better.....but it's just so hard to see that right now. Grow through what you go through and just be you!
- Courtney's Grotto: Really happy you made this video Joshua, never be afraid of showing the real you. <3
- nameless: I'm so proud of you man!! I always have this thing for people who motivate being real and all! bless
- Jesseca Sanderson: Josh, I never comment, but you should know that you have a whole community of support. Always be true to yourself and keep your head up! You got this!
- Corrupted Ravioli: Hu
- TheGingerChronicles: This is like the first time I'm so with Josh. The way he spoke was clear and understandable and concrete. And he didn't do is thumb to peace sign thing which always seemed weird and fake to me, so I'm excited for his content to come
- Klaus: When he asked about a youtuber that is being real to the viewers and to itself, the person who popped in my mind is Megan Batoon ❤ And now I can say Josh is going to be one, and I can't wait! ☺💕
- Mckenzie Ryin: I haven't watched the whole video yet (obviously) but I really do hope you feel better love #notificationsquad
- Pammi ASMR: Good video, very important.
- Donald Kernes: It took you a while to get to this point, but I'm glad you got there. Looking forward to the things to come.
- Dee Cristobal: The first step to become ok, is to admit you are not ok. Love the realness.
- Le Journal De Lilichobit: I really like that you decided to be authentic all the time. I really like that! Being yourself is the most beautiful things you can in life
- Sahian Toche: This is why I've always loved you.
- Katrina Daly: Take care Josh. Authenticity is important, and I understand what you mean with this. This is a very deep video. ❤️❤️❤️
- Chelsea: ok! :) I understand!
- Robert Watson: From bro to bro it's fine to not be okay and we love you Josh!
- Samantha James: you should try to be on the bachelor/bachelorete
- Dg5791: This is exactly why I stopped watching a lot of the videos. After the raw emotion in his video and duet with Erin, that's the Josh I wanted to see. Going through a divorce changes you. I married at 21, divorced at 24. You go through wondering where you went wrong, turning the critical gaze onto yourself. It isn't something you pick up and move on from in a couple months. I completely respected that he chose to step away. But I knew when he came back he wasn't great. Things get better but it takes time. Putting on an act for other people is mentally and physically exhausting. Not feeling like you're being honest when you pride yourself in your honesty wears on you. Making a change is gonna bring hate. People are gonna say they like the old Josh better, and things along those lines. I still hear it among my friends and family, but I've also made new friends who appreciate me for who I am now. Life changes you. To be happy, be real. Good, or bad, just be real. There is no perfect. Life and people are hopelessly flawed, perfectly imperfect. I for one, am excited to see where Josh goes from here!
- Bavisha Thavarajah: I may not have been around for long but I have been here long enough to know how to respect ur decisions . U r truly my favourite; I don't completely understand the world of adulthood but I understand tht u have a life outside of YouTube and both ur career and personal life should not be together if it is going to hurt u in the end! Love u tons and wish u the best❣💜😘
- samo530: awesome video! This is why I love watching you. Be true to yourself and if people don't like you for it then they don't deserve you. Honesty is the best policy.
- Lauren: Hell yeah man! This is awesome. I've enjoyed your vlogs and videos for a couple of years now. This is awesome. You want a real conversation hit me up. My twitter is @LeReese. I think that as a human being who puts themselves out for the public to see you owe it to yourself to be who YOU are. Not what you think gets views, makes you viral or any of the things you mentioned. Be human. What you are going through is not easy! I commend and support this change a whole 1000%! Not because oh look different content. But wow a great way for you to find and be YOU. To show your fanbase to be themselves. To help people in a way I don't think many with your platform do or know or are willing to do. Way to go man. Im super excited for you and hope your other followers help and stand by you. Keep it up fam. You got this.
- Natasha Hughes: Love this Josh. I have been frustrated lately that when I'm watching certain YouTubers it feels like I'm watching a show, or being inadvertently sold to. YouTubers shouldn't have to expose their whole lives but it would be nice to see more authenticity instead of what feels like enforced positivity.
- Fabulous killjoy: i won't unsubscribe
- Alexandra Huang: It's completely fine Josh. This is what we've been waiting for. Don't be afraid. BRAVO! BRAVVO! BRAAVVOOO!!! I'm so happy and proud of you.
- Simply Naomi: He looks like he is gaining weight and putting up a fake smile🙀😭😾
- Just Jane: Mad Respect Bro.
- Itskaydibacon 355: first
- Desiree Bernard: I've never felt super pulled into your content before this moment. Everything you said touched the EXACT thing I've struggled with the past year of my life. Thank you for sharing your experience and for taking advantage of your platform to DO something about it. The round table conversation sounds great and I'll definitely share some of what I've gone through for that discussion. Keep this up Josh. Great things will come from sharing your light ❤
- Ryann Schulz: Thank you josh. I love you ❤
- Evie Jones: Kimberly and do you really think I don't know what I'm talking about😂 I'm not stupid enough. I don't just comment random stuff.
- skylilly1: No one can ever really know another. Everyone has some kind of drama going on in their lives good or bad albeit internally or outwardly. Just stay true to yourself. You tube is not just entertainment. It's real people putting themselves out there ups and downs and you have to deal with the comments good or bad as well. Good advice!
- moomoothepumpkinseed: This video was very inspirational, thank you.
- Audrey Hull: loved this
- Gwendoline Valles: Love You Josh 💕 you're amazing :')
- Bee Bee: thank God no offence but ur content honestly...was for 4yr olds.
- Jasmine 5020: I'm really proud of you,, what your doing is really good and I'm glad your taking this step. I can't wait to see what videos will come
- safalafagins: You are too amazing for words. Seriously.
- Patches O'Hoolahan: You're a good person Josh, You don't have to please everyone, don't trap yourself in letting viewers think you owe them these large chunks of your life. They don't own you or get to know the things you want to keep private. They have no right to it. I always feel like you're trying to explain yourself. Don't let all these strangers opinions stress your life. I wish you the best.
- Kristin Iosifelis: Thank you Josh. I want to sincerely say thank you for posting this. Thank you
- annie: Yay he shaved
- maggie -: Ok but he looks really hot in this.... cannot lie
- emily moran: you're such a great person to look up to.
- Valerie S: No one ever changed the world by following the rules. Your new content ideas sound great and I'm excited to see your authentic self! I don't know if anyone else agrees, but it's tiring for me as a viewer to watch people pretend to be something they're not.
- Lazystar: As soon as he said someone with a child you never knew who thought of Jesse ? 😂
- Angel A: Love your hair
- Elizabeth Gallagher: I'd rather watch this. Seeing everyone happy makes me feel disconnected from the entire world. I understand everything you're going through, except you're a public person and you have thousands of eyes watching your life.
- Megan Cosmiano: that was beautiful
- LovesRain: Love this! And unrelated, but I love the hair! It really suits you.
- Natalie Womack: high five josh. I'm on that very same road. i support you.
- GillPaige: Thank you.
- Amanda Cotrich: this makes me excited. can't wait to see this
- Hale the Hero: Hold on! There's a ghost in your house! Your bedroom light turned off on it's own!
- angelbby0592: I love this idea!! Thanks josh!
- Sophie Marston: I'm excited for you Josh and I can't wait to see different content, YouTube at the minute kind of seems like a place where you have to stick the guidelines and certain rules where you have to follow the crowd by doing challenges or makeup tutorials etc, and I don't mind that because I enjoy all content, but it will be refreshing to see something different for a change, and if it's the real you, then that's even better! I hope your future starts to look up soon because you deserve all the happiness, just as much as every one else 💙💙💙
- Susanna Langdon: Also I'm super excited to see YOU! This is going to be great! Be YOU and nothing or anyone else!
- Sarah Whitaker: Great video Josh. I hope you're hanging in there and surrounding yourself with good people who love you, which it sounds like you are. This challenged me. I'm struggling to be authentic. I'm very empathetic, wear my heart on my sleeve, enthusiastic and get lonely very easily. This has lead people I thought were close to me to consider me too 'clingy'/'needy,' too sensitive, too quirky, too bossy, too emotional, too open...the list goes on. People have taken advantage of my kindness and willingness to keep peace and my readiness to apologise when I've felt there has been something to apologise for. I've done a lot to try and change that in me which were actual issues but even then that hasn't been enough. I've recently had to let go of a friendship with someone who was incredibly important to me that was emotionally abusive and am now incredibly scarred (emotionally, not physically) as a result. They knew what was important to me and how to use it against me too. It makes me want to just be a chameleon and adapt to whatever is deemed socially appropriate in the environment I'm in because I'm tired of being hurt and getting it 'wrong.' And I'm tired of being lonely - due to physical difference, people have found it difficult to approach me with friendship, or for better wording are hesitant...because that is just society's initial reaction a lot of the time. Right now, I find it hard to trust people. The loneliness is suffocating. So yes. Your video has challenged me. I want to be authentic. This has been posted at a time where I feel I'm actually making a conscious effort not to be. Thank you for posting. Much love x
- a classical paint: I have NEVER seen such a sincere, honest video from a YouTuber. It's refreshing. I felt like you were actually speaking to me personally. I'm glad you're being the real you. It will get better, Josh.
- Sarah Kinlaw: You go joshy!
- Kelsey Wolf: Nice to meet you "real Josh" you seem pretty great. I'm going through a bit of a dark time right now myself and I'm excited to see more open discussions about these kinds of issues. I look forward to your new content.
- Pamela Rossow: I love this whole concept. This is my favorite video you've done so far. Real talk. And talking about being OK. My last video was about the same subject that it's OK to not be OK sometimes. Thanks, Josh! Great conversation.
- Sara J.: I like the new hair👌
- MissMelanieB: Woah. Not going to lie, I am normally not on the same page as you, Josh. But in this video, you were 100% speaking to my heart. I wish I could say it more eloquently, but I just don't have the words. I especially loved that you didn't end with your thumb in your mouth, which has always felt fake & douchey to me. This felt so genuine. I will for sure be looking forward to your new content. ❤
- lesley horrocks: I reached this point too recently, I have been suffering from a chronic illness for eight years and was always pretending to everyone that I was ok, until a very good friend called me out on it. So I wrote a VERY long Facebook status being truly honest that, like you, I was not ok. I was in a lot of pain every day, my mental health wasn't good and that I had been hiding behind a mask. That I was always advising my daughters to be who they truly are, yet I wasn't actually doing it myself. Love, light and strength to you josh I look forward to seeing the real you in your videos! 😊😊😊xx
- Alexis Nicole: I love this.
- Angella Morgan: We love you Josh. Do what makes you happy. We will always be here for you.
- Kailey Llewellyn: Wow that is very well said and people who are on youtube or movies and tv shows or someone who is just a music artist fans seems to think that they are perfect which those type of people feel like they have to live up to perfection and not be who they truly are. Nobody is perfect your right and we should be who we really are and not be fake and hide our true selves. Because to be authentic and real you have to project that out to everyone you meet in life and we shouldn't try to hard to impress others. If people don't like others being real then they are the fake ones and don't like emotions and realness. Anyways sorry this comment is long but I loved this video and you put a whole new perspective on life and being yourself with other people no matter if they don't like it or not. Hope everything turns out ok for you in the end have a blessed day and Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
- Notamorning Person: omg I love this video the message is so powerful and finally someone has said what's needed to be said bc I feel like when I watch most you tubers not all they are this fake image that I don't want to become bc then if I do what does that make me and I'm not being real to my self so I just wanted to say thank you, thank you for your words and truthfulness
- Laurenn: Also, I like your hair 👌
- Ana Vazquez: I am looking forward to getting to know the real you!
- Glittertastic: I'm so glad that you are willing to talk about it.
- iamDannyDeZinna: Ironic how Colleen's 'Life Update' video is the que after this
- kel R: Josh this video was great. I really hope you start to feel okay soon, I hate for you to be unhappy. but I do appreciate when you're real with us cause it makes me feel like you really trust us enough to want to be real and vulnerable with us, it makes me feel closer to you. And yeah I don't know you as well as I think I do or would like to but I do know you're an amazing and genuine person and you deserve so much love and recognition for being you and being real and constantly trying to put positivity into the world. Just know that I will always be here for you and I love you more than I could ever explain. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
- Chet Parker: Yes yes I do you are my best friend👬
- Gina Bonelli: I love ya Josh! <3 You are your heart are perfect. I have "seen your twitter" ha! Been there... It is okay to not be OKAY. You will find your way over time however it is supposed to work out. You have to break down to fin yourself and build yourself back up the right way. <3 I love your authenticity and vulnerability! Keep leading by example brotha! No one can be "together" or okay all of the time.. and that is perfectly fine. There is beauty in imperfections and sharing who you are is so important! <3<3
- Analytical Alien: You can't keep running from your God-given calling in life. Making videos about your favorite candy or drink, etc. is fine, but you know in your soul you've been running from God. That's why you're not happy, and you never will be until you surrender your heart to Jesus. As of now, you love the things of this world more than you love God. This world will perish. The only thing we take with us in this life is our relationship with Jesus Christ.
- amber garza: it's okay to not be okay , and being authentic all the time isn't necessary , there are things we can keep under the surface behind the scenes .
- Anna Diep: Preach (u should be a preacher btw)
- TheBoyWithTheBread Always: ily josh 💜
- liana bentley: ❤ this makes me happy knowing you're going to be happy being yourself!! 😊
- TheSoftLounge: I'm sure we will love the real you just as much or more than we love what you're putting out now.
- Izzy LC: not only is this video so honest and amazing, but can we all take a moment to look at how great Josh's hair looks 😍
- PurpleTea: Thank you for your words. It's tough but we should and must listen more to ourselves. All feelings allow and recognize. This is a good way to find yourself.
- Chloe Swiger: I love you Josh
- C. Nicole: i'm so proud of this
- Samantha Ann: Love this topic so much - even with a small following it took me years to feel comfortable being myself on my channel, just knowing how many people could potentially watch and what they might think and what I'd think when looking back, but now I share the good and the bad (with privacy limits when needed), but I share stuff unfiltered. I think my true viewers appreciate that so much and can see it. Anyone who wants the "fake" stuff or the in denial or I'm always happy stuff can watch a scripted vlog channel. Its so refreshing to see someone I've been watching for so long whose been through so much be so forthcoming and willing to open up even more rather than shutting down. Its hard because viewers are let down or shocked at a vloggers' lives the way they'd be at a series finale, but these are real people's lives so the pain and shock is raw and vulnerable and so hard to share. Plus, no matter how authentic, viewers only see 10-30 mins of someone's life a week, so it becomes impossible to please everyone in that time while remaining true to yourself. All we can do is try our best and hope for the best- Props to you for being so bold! & Sorry for the painfully long and mushy comment!
- Think Vibrant: I just wanna say Josh you look great, honestly. I hope you can be happy someday and for the rest of the days you have left. I don't know you in person but you seem like such a great guy, anyone would be lucky to know you. It's really nice to know there are people in this community who want to honest and authentic, I really appreciate that. God bless 😁, share your smile with the world because it's beautiful, and also, be kind to people. 😉
- Le Grand Catalan: I know this doesn't have anything to do with the content of the video, but it's bothering me a little. That 24K Magic LP should be stored vertically.
- Sydni McClanahan: Juwayriyah HTC again, no need in that. again, why?
- TAYLOR GESSLER: your hair is so good in this video
- Dave Jenkinson: Idk why, but he kinda looks like Syndro from The Incredibles!
- Daniel Peppler: I have watched you for years Josh... I just now subscribed because of this video that you just put out you're the real thing dude right on
- Jenny Wright: so happy you are so transparent and real. Do you Josh find your happy!
- Anna H: poor josh, keep fighting and staying strong buddy, we're all there for you. I'm not asking for likes for me, but can you guys like it so he can see how much we support him... lysm josh
- Just Me Pauline B: Thank you
- Ashley McDonough: I thought I knew Shay....
- نفلا السبيعي: I hope you feel better and better you deserve to be happy
- Loz Mae: Thank you, Josh. Thank you for being real! I've been quietly observing your channel for quite sometime but now that I see how real you are on this platform, it's refreshing. I'm subscribing. Keep being you. "Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" -Unknown.
- Sara V: We love u no matter what! 💙
- Wendy DeLaney: *sigh* I've been watching Jay's "Vlog" series on his channel and it's SO powerful. I don't know why more people aren't subscribed to him. He is really amazing. Anyhow, with that being said, I watch more YouTube than I watch television and it IS hard to see so many of you having heart to hearts about how you "just can't pretend anymore" no one should ask "How are you?" unless they truly want to know, and people shouldn't have to just say I'm OK, to move the conversation along. I know I watch YouTube because I want to see you and the bad comes with the good and there are plenty of people who will support you through both because they really love you and just want to see you do well and work through the hard times as well as high five through the good! You are certainly in my prayers.
- Angela2797: Josh, I'm a casual watcher but had to comment on this video. I really think this is a great message. From what I can tell you have some younger people in your fanbase (I'm 32) and I think it's important for them to know that everyone they watch isn't happy and perfect all the time. With so many people looking up to different content creators, it can create a false aspiration for them to strive for. Thank you so much for this, and perhaps I'll become a more frequent viewer!
- leah pedersen: Thank you Josh for posting this I saw it at just the right moment I need it ❤
- S Snowhite: Somehow, I knew you gonna film this video. Bravo Josh!! 💜💜
- JustJay: After being on Youtube for so long, I've come to realize that I only see aspects of a person's life but not the full thing. I think that when I was younger and I would watch all these vlogs, I would see all the fun Youtubers have and their lives, and I remember thinking, "These people lead an awesome life." And yes, I felt like they were close friends. At the time, I feel like there were more happy videos and now youtubers are opening up more about their lives, which I love because we get to see the good and the bad. And I've come to the understanding that we aren't true TRUE friends that know every aspect of your life. We are Internet friends in some way that all interact with each other, but this is a different definition of friendship. We only get a snippet of Youtuber lives-- even if they're daily vloggers. I'm really excited that we've been going through this journey with you, Josh. It's definitely difficult, but I feel like I speak for a lot of us out there when I say that we are with you a hundred percent. :)
- alli ryan: "I'm not okay" once said the strongest man

- Spencer Abbott: I really appreciate this video and your very obvious sincerity and courage to do what so many people are afraid to do on this platform.
- nikki g: Are you losing your mind?! You sound like a crazy person
- Susanna Langdon: It's always best to be authentic! Be true to yourself and others! You're amazing Josh and an inspiration!
- LABIBA RAHMAN: Youtube its entertainment. Don't assume anything.
- Sara Cameron: I loved hearing this as a perfectionist. I feel like this will stick in my mind and help me not be so stressed about stuff. Thank you so much for this video. I love the way you were so into this topic.
- Enshrine Frias: Thanks for being honest Josh! :) if you got tired reading just go straight to the last part. ;p I've been struggling with the same thing before... Not being completely authentic in showing my true emotions to people. I always thought that I only need to show the good and positive sides of my life, for I know that in many ways I can influence other people thru my actions, so I thought that the best way to be a good influence is to be positive, bubbly and happy person that I am whenever there are people around. Then one day I just woke up feeling like i've being stripped off by all those positiveness and goodness. I got tired pretending to be alright when all the while I am not. I realized that it is because I tried to suppress all my negative emotions for a long time, keeping it all to my self. I thought that if I just deal with it on my own it will work out just fine. If I laugh it off and just show to the people around me that I am ok then I'll be just fine. I have been afraid that if I show the other side of me, the one with many flaws, these people I call friends and family might not like to be around me anymore, but I was wrong. Though I had a tough time dealing with the pain I felt, I was also glad that I went thru it. well, 1st- I've learned a lot of things about my self; 2nd- I have known the people who are genuinely concern about me; they are the ones who stayed and pushed me to become better, didn't judge just patiently stayed by my side. and 3rd-I also learned that it is Okay not to be Okay. it was only then that I realized what it truly meant and it helped me so much not just to be true with the people around me, but most importantly I learned to be true to my self and that is probably best result I got. being not Okay doesn't make me less me (if you get what I mean). I guess what I am trying to say is, it is okay if you show us that you are not okay. we will appreciate more your content because it is the authentic you. we always enjoy whatever you show us because you are not afraid to share your good side as well as those moments you feel vulnerable and as part of this community we will support you, because you are not the only one who goes thru those "NOT OKAY" stages. 'sometimes its is okay not to be okay.' and I just want to let you know that from your more than 1.4M subscribers there are people who will not judge you if you post videos or tweets about how you truly feel. hahahah! this too long you'll probably not read this but hey! If by chance you had time reading this then please know that I am looking forward for more of your vids! :) and I hope you'll feel better soon! xoxo!
- boo: OMG YOU LOOK LIKE JOSH PECK😳😱
- Princes Sondervorst: i am so sad
- Drummond: Thank you so much for making this video! Being a Youtuber myself it touched me. You literally spoke words so true to how I'm feeling. It's hard to create that perfect image that you think people will look up to.,
- Dangerous Woman: I actually really like this idea. Be different. Be authentic Josh. I actually like this even more. Gonna be honest I stopped watching all the dumb challenge videos but if you made videos like this just being completely honest and sharing your opinions and values and feelings I would watch them all. Keep going Josh.

- Phoebe Doenges: I'm still so heartbroken about the divorce
- Everleigh Fawzi: It's frustrating and devastating when you want to hold on to something but you can't do anything and it makes you hopeless that your body just goes weak and numb and you just want to sit in the corner and cry

- Andrea Martín: Thank you, really, thank you. I need to see this so so bad. Has been a glass of cold water on the face. Waking up... This is how we want(and need) to see you, and that is how I would like to see all people. I am a teacher and I try to incorporate these ideals into the people I "guide" (I don't like to say "students"). And this has been the time to take one more step in starting, before everything, with yourself. From Barcelona, muchísimas gracias. (sorry for my english!)
- THE DUMB ONE: josh i am so sorry im speaking for everyone
- Hannah: THIS is why you're one of my favorite youtubers Josh. You are incredibly genuine and I've never doubted that for a second. I may not know the exact you, but I've been around long enough to see a pretty good idea of who you are. I'll love you always. See you next week ❤
- LarsHeat: I have loved your channel and so many other YouTube channels for so many years for particular reasons. Either it made me take my mind off of things or it helped me cope with and fight my inner demons to heal my personal problems. Both helps! I myself know how deeply irritating it can be having to live life pretending it's just fine when it's not. But to be honest, it were those videos where people discussed their issues and troubles openly that helped me know I'm not alone in what I'm going through and eventuslly helped me get better. What I'm trying to say: I totally get it. Also the fears and all but that's part of it. I appreciate realness so incredibly much and honesty is of the highest value. So, I'm looking forward to seeing the other side of you in the hopes that it'll help yourself and itgers deal with their bad stuff. Don't be afraid to be real and honnest. It may be tough but also therapeutic. Just remember to be respectful and nice to people. Alright. Now feel my virtual bear hug and adjö, boo.
- Aimee Veal: You're so great. Never ever doubt yourself. Thanks for bringing yourself out onto this platform for everyone to see and learn from. We love and support you so much ❤️❤️
- Carmen Carrasco: loved the video! and I miss your beard
- Mentally Hurting: You maybe going threw some stuff, but you are rocking that hair. Much luv

- LovelyLaura: This is why I love watching your videos. I know you'll always be 100% authentic and honest with us as viewers, or at least with as much as you're willing to share. I love that you're you and you share that with us, all of that wonderful goofiness and seriousness. Keep being you josh ❤
- Myrest: you have guts, man. best of luck in this journey.
- Anne-Claire Gibson: 💕we love you.
- crystar515: So much respect for you. Authenticity is rare to find, especially with people in a public platform. Keep up the great work and realness because it is a breathe of fresh air!👍🏻
- Julia Boyer/Dunlap: Becca~G exactly. Our feelings are just that OURS and nobody has the right to tell us what we feel is wrong. They can feel different but having and owning your feelings is the first step to owning your life and cutting off the puppet strings!
- Serenity Sov: AMEN!!! I agree 100% with everything you said. I would rather someone make honest, true to themself videos, so I can judge for myself if I like the content instead of someone putting on a facade or faking happy and I end up liking someone who is fake or dishonest. I'm so sick of YouTubers acting like their life is peaches and rainbows, because no one's life is that perfect, I don't care who you are. Being yourself is always best. In the end, most people will choose honesty and realness over perfection. Praying for you, Josh. God is always there for you even if you feel alone. Hope you have a great day!
- it's me CL: proud of you for this video! be you! 😊

- Jaynie: <3 I love my joshy.
- Madi and Ali R: Hey Josh I've been watching you for quite some time now and I just want to say that I think you are very brace and strong and I look up to you even more now as a man who can tell the world that you aren't perfect cause guess what. No one is. I'm not perfect by any means at all but I am me and if people don't like me because of who I am then that's their loss and same goes for you. If people don't like you for who you are then they themselves are not real and are portraying themselves as someone they aren't. I think you are amazing just the way you are and I'm still going to watch you. You are a real person and we need more people like that in today's society especially. I used to try and act like someone I wasn't when I was younger and it was stupid because when I showed the real me I lost a lot of friends. Now I'm just me. Stay real. It's gonna work for you and I believe you are starting a new and very good trend for social media as a whole. I am so proud of you
- Nian Nirmala: Love this video. Feels like heart to heart and just love ur words. Go for it, Josh! Lots of love from thousand miles away
- Riley-May Cooke: so proud of you josh, so inspired
- Aaryanna Broadbent: I miss joshleen😫💔 I feel so bad for him
- Kea Lynn: don't take this the wrong way but I've been subscribed for a long time but I have watched intermittently and not religiously and the reason is because I kind of felt like it was fake to an extent. It wasn't all the time that I thought you were being someone you weren't but it was enough to not watch every video... I feel like that is about to change now 😂 I'm excited to see your new content.
- Mariah Walrath: we want to feel like we know you or any other YouTubers but in reality we don't. we want to help but all we can do is sit back and wait. good luck Josh!
- Gaby O: i'm so sorry that you've been going through all this stuff, but you're a really good person. you make so many people happy and so many people laugh. thank you so much ❤️
- Tommy Peterson: ❤️
- Rachael Meador: Josh deserves a really good girl..I hope he finds her

- Cindy besitos: Good job Josh! New sub here.. I love your Approach.. but unfortunately ppl watch to see "what if" or "how Fav. Their lives are"... in reality WE ARE ALL THE SAMe, we poop the same, sleep the same and hurt the same... Keep being u babe! 😘

- Anderson Patry: ok
- Kathy O'Brien: Well it's about damn time. I am 43 years old, have been married for 21 years, and have two kids. There comes a time when people's vulnerability is magnetic. We have a lifetime of armour around us and those who chip away at it by allowing a space for authenticity are the people I want in my life. Looking forward to seeing you for who you really are. Welcome to the world of imperfect people.❤
- Mansi Bhatia: This video opened doors in my mind that I didn't know existed in YouTube. I wanna hug Josh. This is the most real conversation I've had in months. 😳
- Luna !: This is like the most real video you've had
- Brenna Neyen: stop disliking his videos if you dont like them then DONT WATCH IT........... please
- Rose R.: Hey Josh, what your feeling is very normal, what you've gone through left you traumatised... it's like getting in a bad accident and you feel unsure about the world around you, if you get in a vehicle again will this happen again? No, matter how many times you go over it in your head, what you could've done to prevent it, the answer sometimes is never there. Your in MOURNING, in a Divorce that comes as a shock (As yours did) , is like death... your sad then mad, confused, insecure, at times happy, you laugh but the darkness is still there... you must let yourself mourn, so in time you remember the pain but doesn't leave you numb anymore. This is called your taking a new breath and realizing it was never really you, and in time you can love someone who will love you so much as well. Don't let this x take over the kind, gentle loving secure man you truly are, share it when your ready and don't hold back cause that wouldn't be fare on that person. The love of your life, will come when it's time... don't let someone take advantage of you but don't take out on her what someone else did, or not love the way you know how get what I'm saying? Don't give her anymore( amunishen) gas to put on her fire, she feeds off of your sadness A lot and she doesn't deserve that from you. So, take back who you are and OWN IT AGAIN....One day at a time.... by the time you know it, you will feel the light in your heart again.. I know this was long, but I felt you needed it hear this. If this continues, it's OK to get help.. to help you move on Just like a person does when someone really dies. This a different type of death cause she's still alive but not in your life anymore. Again, your Mourning her, everything your feeling is what a person feels losing someone close to them. Again, One day at a time.....and you'll see at the end everything will fall into place. Go with the current now... not against it. If it continues, please seek some help. Warm wishes, Rose R. 🌹😆
- Gemini Coven: Aw HUGGIES #TeamJoshua LUV YA
- Erica Cook: I do fell close to you when you came on and told us about ur divorce I was so sad for you. I cryed I love knowing that you are trying to forget and put it all to the side be strong Josh you can do this

- reagan Galloway: i will not care what you post i will never stop scribing
- X_kate_x M: I hope you get better! I wish you the best
- jayden's mommy 13: I wish the divorce was fake but Josh I'm so proud of the person you are growing into and am so happy you came to us like this. I love seeing you smile and happy but this vulnerable side is great because we want to be able to help you through this pain. Together you me and the other dingleberries are stronger than the pain.

- Leddy Cervantes: We love you Josh <3
- Paige Fiona: Why is he the only YouTuber that is authentic?
- sandi colee: This sounds like an amazing format you are going for. I know that I, myself, has not been "well" for quite some time. I am getting ready to start on Hormone Replacement Therapy which will hopesfully in the long run I will feel so much better. For some reason the past 8 months I have gained 75lbs and I am struggling daily to love myself, my skin, my shell, my unwanted exterior.
- Bella Straw: Josh I love you so much!! I'm proud of you
- little princess: Miss April ME TOO!!😊
- DScritchy: I'm really looking forward to your new content Josh. On a personal level I'd rather watch someone who's down to earth and real about what's going on in their life... It makes you more relatable. I totally get that you strive toward that positivity and happy energy but for me it has sometimes felt forced, like you were pushing an image, especially in times like this. Maybe part of it was you hoping that if you presented this image hard enough reality would follow. I get that too. But stuff happens and the real truth is that it is entirely possible that you could reach and help more people by sitting down and admitting that it's been a crappy day, it happens to everyone and tomorrow we get up and try again.
- Crash227: You are a sweetheart, Josh. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
- DeadCookies77: new drinking game : take a shot everytime he says "authentic" and "rules"
- William Evans: hey. love you Thanks for sharing your authentic stuff with us hope it gets better for you

- Heidi Brett: Wow. This is the most honest real video I have ever seen any YouTuber make. I'm so proud of you Josh.
- gggunda: 1.31 "some child that you never knew" so secretly pointing to Jesse Wellens
- Patrick Sayngs: Always being nice to people isn't always authentic...
- Đức Vương: Be strong, do everything you want Josh :)
- Khadija Fatima: Understand you 👍🏻
- maram Abuzahriyeh: Fousytube (yousef erakat) said this over a year ago...
- Chelsea Ann: This life we have is so finite that it is so important to find your happiness. You don't have to be happy every moment of everyday, just try to find a moment in everyday that makes you happy. ❤❤
- Molly York: This is amazing Josh. Truly, so proud of you.
- Randall Wilson: #JoshSoReal
- Liam Heneghan: Josh sorry i know this is a serious video but your sexy hair keeps distracting me.
- Daily Dose Of Migue: Ah I miss 2008 YouTube. Everything made sense but I feel like that's what's he's trying to get at . When everyone was on here just for fun and entertainment and joy. Now it's all buisness and money. There's really not much entertainment left . Just people trying to get money off of views and subcribers.
- Cassie Marie: Hair tho... Also I love you and I'm so proud of you!
- Mel Bell: This is so true! I am very excited!!!!
- Luke Xianwalker: WHERE THE AU REVOIR GO AT
- Sage Michael: I love you Joshua. You helped me through a lot. I promise you you'll start feeling better soon. Maybe not soon. But you will start feeling better. Eventually. Please, Stay strong. 💙
- Sophia Nicole: If this doesn't go viral than imma kill myself. This is amazing josh.
- Mel Bell: Thank you Josh!!! I TRULY believe this will help you! Not being you will get you no where! Sometimes we are not okay and that's fine! Don't worry what other people think!
- Izabela Jelena Pandilovska: now I'm just sad😧😧😧😧
- Pamela Greco: Have you ever read Brene Brown? Thanks for your authenticity and congrats because it takes a lot of courage.
- Auto R: I'd take being true, open, vulnerable, & honest over displaying a facade any day. Whether your views or subscribers translate how you or your "bosses" want them to, I personally find your raw, honest videos to be the best, & the most relatable. I don't think that you need to literally divulge every detail of your day to day personal life with your family, a significant other, friends, etc., but even just having videos like this where you say "stuff is happening & I'm not happy" is so much more honest than putting up a video only on days when you are in a good mood or faking being in a good mood.
- Luciana Almeida: Josh, you are amazing, genuine and I'm sure you have flaws, but who doesn't? In my opinion, for the most part and from what you allow me to see, you truly are admirable. Having said that, I watch more You Tube videos than Netflix or TV. Also YouTube is the only social media I am part of and I really love it. In all YouTube community, there are only 3 content makers, let's put it this way, that I watch EVERY SINGLE VIDEO, no matter what it is, and I am ALWAYS pleased to watch: Joshua David Evans (that's you!!!), Jenna Marbles and Julien Solomita. You 3 give me exactly what I look for when I go on YouTube, whether it's only entertainment or a deeper issue you felt like sharing with the world and it gets me interested. I live a not at all interesting life in Rio and watching you, glowing with talent, is even kind of cathartic for me. It makes me happy there are people like you in this world. Good people. Talented people. Anyway, now I am rambling. All I want you to know is that I'm glad you're not afraid of showing who you are anymore and I'll keep on watching your videos because I'll like whatever you decide to make! I apologize for any mistakes as English is not my native language! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
- Crystal Diaz: Hey josh be you is tge most wonderful person no matter if people dobt like you you will some where find someone that likes you for you and yes i do know you cause i can tell when your faking it it is not that noticable but for me it is
- Sophie Fay: josh, I love you sooooooooo much this video just showed me how ABSOLUTELY AMAZING you are!!!!! I'm so excited about the new videos! ♥♥♥♥♥ luv ya
- Kristen Gibson: love this and you!!! ❤❤
- Megan Grace: Honestly, I think this is one of my favourite videos.
- Miss Nobody: I know getting a divorce is hard and you can feel really down , but you need to think you could be in a much much worse situation.there are people all over the world who don't have enough money to look after their children and some children don't have any parents at all to look after them ect. You need to focus on what is great in your life then try to help people who don't have anyone to help them instead of complaining about your "massive" struggles to a camera. You need to think about people who are I. More pain right now.
- Sophia Testani: I was already crying and now I'm crying even more
- Amanda Michelle: wait oh my gosh
- Jovana Kovacevic: Hey Joshua, i writteing you for the first time. I rarely commentig videos, i like to watch them and i totally sympathize with you. You are so emotional guy, like me. Like you said - I wanna be someonelse No1, just like them to me - and that's the point of love life, i totally agree with you. You are so honest, and talk about what's bothering you - that's courage. Everybody thinks youtubers life is great, but we are all humans and we have some ups and downs. Hope you can see this. I am from Serbia (Balkan) big kiss and hug for you!
- Michelle Ramer: yes! u say ur not ok and im sorry for ur struggle but i see a man that is on the road to true happiness.
- mariia a: that's exactly the point of the video! that was probably something he didn't want to do any more but did it just because everyone would be upset if he didn't!
- CiCi Moya: Btw new subbie!
- emily.z x: Phoebe Doenges ik same try not to put it in the comments because if he sees it it makes him more sad
- Melissa Booth: god love you Josh💙
- Jessica Hall: way to step up man!
- poppy sowry: ha it is in the pass so you live it in the pass i love you. and it is going to be ok
- renee_t42 YAS: Yay I got in really early
- Paula: I have not subscribed to you until today. We got to see the real you <3
- Ruby Joachim-delpoio: Katie Cassidy I agree
- Jaclyn Jarvis: Thank you for being a YouTuber we can trust and have a safe place!
- elise3000: Great vid! Thanks for this down to earth motivational. You have a nice voice to listen to. Good luck with your upcoming plans. Love from the Netherlands xoxo
- Mia Claire: That outro made me cry.....
- Ashley Poper: i really don't just click "like" too often or lightly. but i really applaud you Josh. it's SO HARD to just be yourself. you are so vulnerable when you're really putting it all out there. EVERYONE can relate to this. even i can. i stopped all social media a year ago bc i got tired of being fake happy. also seeing "my husband is the sweetest guy EVER" when the person treats their wife like SHIT. Or "i have the best kids in the world" when they question if they even WANT to be a mom. it's OK to say "I'm so stressed today" or "i feel like I'm messing everything up for my kids". usually we are being hard on ourselves and if we were honest maybe we'd get the response that we NEED. the one that will help us go on, improve, or finally congratulate ourselves. Everyone is trying to say love yourself just as you are. to do that we REALLY have to be US. THE REAL US. I love you Josh. I'll be watching....💜❤💛💙💚
- soulpainter: i love this
- Juliann Nicole O'Donnell: and this is why i dig you. i appreciate your humble personality. proud of you and hope your life can thrive with happiness. you deserve it. you are real af.
- Nicolette Leone: Well said Josh...well said:) I'm always here to support in any situation
- Josie Leon: Hi josh, my name is Josie. I am writing this comment to let you know that this has helped me. And this may be just your ordinary, cheesy, heartfelt YouTube comment, but I hope you get a chance in your busy schedule to read this. My depression began about 3-4 months ago. My neighbor, dale, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, a rare tumor in his lung, he had salmonella and caught some other sickness that is commonly caught in hospitals. He also had gone through radiation. All of these things ( salmonella, sickness and radiation) causes vomiting and diarrhea. So for him, it was every 30 minutes to an hour that he would get sick. Because of this, he didn't eat hardly anything. I remember one day when his daughter told him that he had consumed about 8 calories that day. He was practically like a skeleton at this point. Mind you, he was fairly old, but I remember when we used to go on walks every morning and he would be so happy. The doctors said that they could not cure the cancer, but treat it with chemo therapy. If he decided to do it, he would have ( optimistically) about a year; if not, a few weeks. This information struck me a lot harder than I thought it would. I didn't really think we were that close until I realized what was going on. Fast forward a while, he went in for his first round of chemo. It went just as planned. However, he continued not to eat and when it was time for round 2, they sent him back because his body was too week. I actually haven't seen him since September or October 2016. I get all the word from my mom. Fast forward some more, dale's heart had stopped so the doctors decided to shock him. But they saw that they would also have to drain his lungs. At this point, they could not continue on. Dale refused to cooperate with the doctors. They decided to do an in home hospice. This was the hardest part for me. Knowing that just next door, one of my favorite people would lie to rest forever, and I defiantly couldn't bring myself to say goodbye. In fact, " goodbye" is now my most hated words of all. Dale passed on March 10th, 2017. I am struggling with it a lot. But I don't tell anyone how I feel about anything. I think that the hardest part of this small piece of what is going on in my life, is knowing that he will not be there to guide me. He be here to see me turn 15 at my Quincenera. He won't be here to see me graduate. He won't be here to see me off to college. He won't be here to watch me get married. But most of all, he won't be here when we do all the things we talked about doing when I was a little girl. (Especially marrying a prince). But this is not all. This is not the reason why I struggle with depression. My best friend, his name is Clayton, is not the person who I thought he was. When he came out to me as gay, I felt so special. We had been best friends in 5th grade and he told me all of his life struggles, which were way worse than mine at the time. Mine struggles consisted of homework problems and friend drama. He can't come out to his parents because they are homophobic. Fast forward some more, he wasn't texting me like he usually would, or responding to mine or phone calls. I thought that he possibly committed suicide. And I know that such an amazing human being like him would never do such a thing. But when a person sends you pictures of knifes, you get suspicious. Well, finally he picked up one day and was completely fine. I called him my best friend for the longest time. I would vent to him about everything. And he would listen. But then some stuff happened and the other day he told me that he had come out to way more people that he was gay before he told me, and the hardest one to hear, I wasn't nor am I special to him. This happened last week. I'm still struggling with the whole dale thing. Another thing is my health. I am very underweight for a 13 year old in America. I weigh 95 pounds the average being 125. ( that's what Siri told me). But the number itself is not the problem, it's that it dropped from last year and the year before. It's because I don't eat enough. I am very skinny, but NOT anorexic! Though that is the conclusion that many people have some to. I just get full really fast. So when you don't have enough of the right nutrients to power your body, your body begins to feed off muscle. I am more prone for things that, in the past, didn't hurt that much, and now they leave full-on bruises. And it hurts much more. My friends call me weak. But like I said, I don't tell anyone anything, so they don't know. I get very offended by it and usually walk away. I guess I just don't like facing the facts. That is definitely not the only thing that is wrong, but I don't have all day. It would mean the world to me if you responded to this josh, because...well, I'm not okay. Thanks for reading this, -Josie
- xYellx: From the moment I decided to start my own channel, I've wanted to be authentic and real, but it is a struggle to do that when you feel like nobody will watch your content. So I can relate. :(. And I can understand where you're coming from Josh. In school I was sort of myself, but also sort of what other people wanted/needed me to be. I didn't dress the way I wanted to, I didn't take theater except my freshman year in high school because I thought I wasn't good enough. But now that I'm older, I know I'm good enough. You know? And you're real Josh, you're one of the realest YouTubers I've ever related to and I'm so proud of how far you've came. I can't wait to see this new content you have coming. <3 Always be you Josh. <3
- Crystal Boven: I look forward to a real authentic vlog I've waited for this yes I would love to know the real Joshua & honey we aren't perfect I been there done that learned my lesson & then some I've always liked you Joshua cause your so humble I can't ever hate on you your too adorable
- Christina Mathis: Good for you Josh. When you stop living for others happiness comes to you
- AA- Gamer: Kimberly don't argue with this troll leave it be. She's most likely a little kid who doesn't know better. It's okay to ignore sometimes
- Babydoll Marie: This has to be one of my favorite videos that I've watched on YouTube. I've been going through a rough spot lately in life too and its nice to not feel so alone. Thank you for making this video and I'm happy that you're going after what truly makes you happy.
- Chet Parker: Oh no you are sad😭😭

- Charli Nave: Josh u got deforsed????
- Snigdha Nautiyal: I look forward to your new content :) happy you're doing this!
- Gerald Fralick: Josh, I'm so sorry for your pain. When I came out as gay, in 1997, I thought everything would change. It wasn't until 2006, when I became my authentic self that I started experiencing happiness. I wish you well on your new journey.
- Bina Bianca: Thank you .... thank you so, so much.
- A R: khan s This is very reflecting. 😊
- Ellie H.: I haven't watched for a REALLY long time. I don't know why I just felt the need to just view your channel again and just see what your doing and this was the video I stumbled upon this video. I watched it, I clicked off, I went about the rest of my day. But for some reason this video keeps coming back in my head, "Don't project". Now that it's been a few months I'm glad it stuck with me because if it didn't, well, I'd still be walking down the streets pretending to be emo, suicidal, and wise because that's what I thought was cool. I cannot tell you how much I regret that, how I blindly pretended that I cut myself and that I had no hope, that right there is FUCKED UP. Thanks Josh, I may not watch you anymore but you truly mean a lot to me. ♥️
- Jan Marie: As someone who has been watching YouTube for a long time, mainly vlog channels, I've always wondered about this. I know many Youtubers think about the comments they've gotten like, "Your upbeat, positive, joyful demeanor always makes me feel better on my worst days and I can always look to your videos to make me smile." While that's true and wonderful and amazing, Youtubers shouldn't feel that heavy burden of always being happy or optimistic. Y'all are human just like everyone else and go through struggles and hard times like we do. I love that you're gonna be yourself and post real content. I hope more Youtubers follow in your footsteps. I know I'm guilty of saying things like that, I did it back in 2011 with the Shaytards, after the tornado outbreak here in Alabama. And now I'm like, crap, was I one of the people that caused him to think he had to be happy all of the time? Basically, I'm just trying to say that more Youtubers should let go of that fear of losing subscribers and not being as accepted by people if they are completely real in their content. Thank you for stepping out of what you felt like you had to do and stepping into what you feel is right for you to do.
- Steph van lieshout: all ,my love joshy

- TinkerbellKat: Good. You deserve to be you. Looking forward to what's coming next.
- PJ Sells: :) Thanks for this, Josh. I'm so about authenticity. This is groundbreaking for the YouTube community. And I'm so glad you're stepping out. Being real is super uncomfortable sometimes, but it's necessary in life. And as a YouTuber I can imagine it gets complicated, but for the people that sincerely enjoy your content and care about you as a person, this is exciting news. Excited for you, man!
- Suu Le Min: So brave and true of you! Rare but relatable! Love you loads. Tho I'm new here. But love yr songs and vids! Rock on!

- LovelyJimese: you just earned yourself a new subscriber gj
- Minander: It's okay to not be okay ❤
- sophie reed: This is inspiring, you are amazing
- kzfingerprint: I love this message! Beautifully said.
- Makeupbyrach18: I love this!!!! I barely watch YouTube anymore because so many people I used to be subbed to seem so different now which makes you question who they really are. You seem very genuine and I totally appreciate this video. I am much more interested in watching people's real lives rather than a character they are trying to portray in order to try and please everyone. Let's face it, no matter what you can never please everyone. Great vid Josh, you deserve great things and I know you will receive them. Be patient! 😊
- Liliana Herrera: This is why I watch I don't look for josh to always be happy and funny, I look for REAL and you are so open to telling people and being honest about how you are feeling. it's the first step to happiness being true to yourself finding you. Proud of you for standing up and being real. Wish you happiness and love.❤️
- Shizuko Cahill: Josh is so genuine and I love him. Thank you josh for actually having a passion for YouTube rather than doing if for the fame and money
- Paige Wauters: Marissa Thompson This! 100% this!
- Ane Louise: Josh? can you come to Brazil and be my best friend? i need people like you in my life . People around me are so fake 💔 I need positivity ❤
- Linette Kindle: I think thats a great idea.I think most of us knew you werent ok but just werent showing it.I think it will not only help you but help others.
- sexy batch: I don't have a Twitter someone fill me in plz
- Erika Lopez: I don't like that you're not okay necessarily but I already love this Josh more than the old one. : )
- Megan St. Esprit: A long time ago, I subscribed to your channel because I saw something very like-able about you and after some time, I could see that you were putting up a persona and i didn't find it very flattering, so I unsubbed. You earned my subscription back when you posted your divorce announcement video and it wasn't because of the drama surrounding your divorce. It was because of your authenticity. I highly respect how authentic you have been on this channel since your divorce and (as a subscriber) I hope to see that more and more from you. I don't see how it could hold you back from success and leadership on this platform. I think a lot of other people would value your authenticity. You have my respect and support
- Jill Riggan: Good for you. I actually like the videos where I feel your authenticity much more than anything else. Looking forward to learning more about the real you. We all struggle with this whether our lives are on display on a huge platform or not. You're not alone. It's okay to not be okay.
- TheHotPoolGirl: I admire your courage to continue to rise above the negativity and the struggle! You could just stay hidden and people would just eventually lose interest in gaining off your sadness but you aren't hiding out, you're facing it head on but most amazing is how truly vulnerable you are online for the public eye to do what they do with it. I have always found your emotional depth very attractive and it's such a strong quality that I wish more men possessed. I personally really like the you I believe you really are!!! You light can change the world, let it shine bright Babayyyyyy✨✨
- Monica jk: ok but he looks good
- dun sun: youtube is smarter at math than me tbh
- Zoie Abigail: Fabiha Azim I agree.
- Ashlee Nadeau: Finally! Wow. Thanks for this Josh. See you next week, looking forward to the new you.
- Kat Naessens: This was so important! Go you. You're helping so many people. Thank you for being real. Thank you for being sincere. Thank you for being you.
- Channy Vs Maddie: Shane Dawson needs to do this in a conspiracy theory.
- Adriana Arroyo: dang you are so inspiring😊😂
- Sidney Simpson: Josh please please talk about endometriosis. It's a disease that doesn't get talked about and people will just brush it off. There's also a taboo surrounding it because it affects women's reproductive health. I've been fighting with it since I was 11. It's not easy and there's no cure. It would mean a lot if you talked about it.
- Aasiyah: Cannot wait to see what's coming next :')
- Bianca Bright: He didn't do the au revoir
- KAC1234: Amazing Josh! You're great! P.s...you're hair looks amazing like this!
- I r i a n a: you are so honest, intelligent and expressive. it is so easy to connect with josh unlike a lot of other youtubers. he has a genuineness to him that makes you feel like you are standing right there in front of him.
- Lala Bla: Fresh shave that's the shit I like
- alyssajohnson: This video was incredible. I agree with every word. I've watched your channel for years, and I've felt the authentic. I can't wait to learn more about you, with you being real all the time. I love you josh❤
- Courtney: I love this!! My only cation is don't use "just be" as an excuse to neglect those around you because they and the relationships you have with them require more than what you want to "be" at any given moment.
- Audrey Safi: I love how in the background it was like "Who's watching Netflix?" on the TV. Same Josh.
- Yanna Boo: 382 comment
- crystalcakesinlove02: I love you Josh you are my favorite youtube and I 100% understand you ilysm!!😚😄
- All Dogs Are Smart: We support you Josh! Keep being #REAL.
- VSxnchxz: real or fake i like josh
- Tatenda Madondo: Anyone else waiting for the new videos? Or is it just me? Lol
- KaLeigh Harrell: This truly spoke to me!! as a starting YouTube I totally agree with this @joshuadtv
- Chloe -: Josh, I bloody love you for doing this video. This is something you didn't have to do, but the fact that you did is admirable. You probably won't even see this, but if you do, just know we're all so proud of you and videos like this make us love you even more! Be nice to yourself Josh, because you deserve it! (:
- veronikakortnee: love it. 💗 great idea Josh. #keepinitreal
- lovelybeth 101: Strong really strong but just to get off topic when I heard the dog in the background I literally woke up my mom after awhile to look outside with me. 😂
- Shawna Michelle: Much love man. Always, always speak out when you're not ok. Talk until you feel heard and get the help you need. Hang in there. I've always appreciated your authenticity.
- SquiffleNoses: There has been a lot in the Brit media the last few years about social media driving kids nuts because the 'image' they project is not them. This is a very healthy and healing video.. someone with many young followers stirring the healthy conversation and debate... raising consciousness. HOWEVER - Josh please don't try and fix a social problem whilst you need to sort your own shit out dude... Just fix yourself and share how you did it when you are strong again. I'm damn sure I'm not the only one rooting for you... patiently. Take your time and don't stress about promises you've made about what you are going to do and how you are going to do it. Baby steps until you are strong again.. THEN tell us how you got there! please
- Jo Smith: Subscribed because of this video
- Danielle D: Just be 💜💙💚💛
- Claudia Mauerhofer: I'm struggling with anxiety and light depression for 3 years. When someone ask me "how are you" i always tell them Im fine. But that is not the truth. I had to learn to be honest. People will help you. Your best friends will stay by your side, every other person that doesn't accept you is not a real friend. I love you Josh, no matter what! 💕
- Its Alms: This was everything 💛
- Ashley Ferrante: i actually love that you didn't do the usual sign-off
- Anna Landis: FaithoCookie Games it's not even like that. Just wanted to know how many people are excited for Josh and who will stay with him
- Dani Banani: Thank you for being so genuine Josh!! I appreciate your honesty and I think everyone else can agree. You are awesome!☺️😊🙌🏼 Such a great message.
- Kylee Felumlee: love you 😘
- Melissa: I honestly prefer the reality that things aren't perfect than a fake alternate universe that is perfect and always positive.
- Jocy Trujillo: ss I have but every body says ignore them
- Geeks and Nerds Rule: Love you man!
- Adriana Palacios: The respect and love I have for you, is unbelieveable.
- Jessica Rogel: they're not together anymore
- scandalousjen: EriStarz same
- haaya123: Pure click bait. Seven minutes of saying the same thing differently. He's one of those people who talks a lot, but doesn't say much. Fucking annoying. He's basically saying that he's been fake all along, which is exactly how I viewed him anyway. Clearly, he's struggling to find himself. It must be hard going through life always having to be "on."
- Britnee B: #justbe2k17 I love you Josh.
- Maddy: I love you josh, and i always will.... ❤❤ stay hopeful :)
- Debashis Sikdar: scandalousjen r
- Bailey Isenberg: Love you, Josh! Proud of you!!! Will you still do music??
- Lex07w :D: 😂 lol Netflix is in the background ........... that made me laugh 😂
- Alexus Hasler: This is a great message, wishing you nothing but positivity
- Colleen Unger: I honestly just hope your real authentic self and "truth" doesn't mean shading others and putting people down. OPINIONS ARE NOT FACTS!!!!!!
- Emily Salinas: Early 😏
- Jenna Mashak: The people who disliked this.. wow.
- lauron anderson: Ooo that child thing was for Jesse. But gotta stand with him man
- Michelle W: Hence the Shaytards scandal...
- Newzie Xx: Fifth
- Ushna Shamim: Thank you for showing your true colors. We all love you josh
- Ciara Castiglione: You're not perfect. I'm not perfect. Nobody reading this is perfect. But it's okay because nobody is perfect.
- TheAwesome Gamer: Ret
- Jordan Nurney: Josh, I just smiled and cried. I am so freaking proud of you. Not only for being honest with yourself but for being honest with us. I know that must have been really hard to do especially with being afraid of what people may say or do. But you know in the end those who unsubscribe for you being honest and yourself aren't true loyal dingleberries/friends to you. I've always been proud to call myself a dingleberry but this video made me even more proud. I respect you so much Josh for not only filming this video, but for posting it and for what you said in it. I do feel as if I know you. Even though I have only met you once, I know that when we met all my nerves went away because I felt as if I was reuniting with a brother or childhood friend who I hadn't seen in years. The fact that you took time to listen to everyone and all the people who you meet at your shows during your meet and greet goes and shows what kind of person you are. You are kind, a great listener, a good hugger, and most of all you make people feel comfortable around you. I don't really let out a lot of me when I first meet people, but I feel like I could tell you so much and I know I wouldn't be judged and I could be myself around you. People like you don't come around often Josh and I'm so thankful I got to meet you and I hope again soon I can meet you. You have been there through very hard times in my life. I mean considering I started watching you when I was recovering from a spinal fusion and you made me laugh even when I was in the excruciating pain. You made me laugh when it hurt to laugh. You made and make me feel important and that I will and can make a difference. You show me that it is ok to be sad sometimes but to surround myself with great people and to hold onto them and not worry what others think. Because of you I don't care what others think of me. I am me and if someone doesn't like it well that is their problem not mine and i wouldn't have gotten there if it wasn't for you. Josh because of you I know i am legendary and there is only one of me and I can only live out my life and story. I'm so lucky to call you my role model and my brother. I look up to you so much and thank you for being you. I can't wait till we meet again and I look forward to seeing more of the real you!
- Orla Nwokike: I'm speechless I've never thought about all the cons about being on YouTube. This s was a beautiful talk Josh u hav taught me so much.You are so strong and u are my inspiration
- Sillencee Official: Josh is about to become the most real person on YouTube and it's a breath of fresh air.
- Newzie Xx: I love you, I support you, we love you, you inspire us, Be happy
- GeeCee: Please tweet this video to onision. 😂
- Kosmic Kat96: This makes me love you even more!!! This shows how comfortable you are and how much courage you have. I have issues sharing my current mental state and worry more about putting up a positive front so people don't judge me. Thanks for this wonderful and inspiring video!
- Casey Kindall: Maybe it's just me but this seems kind of unfairly clickbait-y, trying to make a statement about mental health and then real quick making it into a "shiny new content!" announcement...I genuinely want you to be okay and I want your mental health to be sound. Something about this just rubbed me the wrong way. But I hope you get what you need from this experience. That comes first.
- Vickie Komon: I am scared to ask my mom if she still loves my dad they are not together any more 32nd I am sad.
- kaitlyn porte: I love this so much because sometimes i feel like i have to pretend to happy when im not and people ask how i am and i say im fine but im not okay and i feel like no one understands what its like to loose a parent at 13 but now i know that there are people who know what that is like... I love you josh <3
- What The -: It's okay Josh. We are here for you because we love you. No matter what other people say, just be you, because we love you for who you are. your so honest. We all understand what your going through. Just remember this the reason why we love you. Because you stand out and not afraid of telling how you feel and we subscribers, followers,and people that are new to this channel can understand what your going through. Remember it's okay because we love you. 😊
- Kelly Beautiful: this toy is beautiful, glad to be seeing it more often! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
- Hailey Nichols: you are perfect
- Millieee Dukee: How was KCAs I watched it on tv and it was great
- Divine Dow Ellen: How are you doing about your YouTube 5 months ago
- jgdrybb bfjoffnbf: title made me think of mcr lol
- Shelby Manley: thank you josh for being such a real authentic person you are truly an inspiration to me and so many other people i love you josh and thanks for being my favorite youtuber ❤️💕
- The Amanda: 👏🏼👏🏼go Josh go👏🏼👏🏼
- Ellie Kay: you should write/perform slam poetry
- Shayna Brianne: Love the message of this video! This is something I have struggled with beginning my Youtube channel. I want to show all the good parts of my life...but life has been kicking me in the ass, and its hard to show the good parts when that isn't truly how you feel.
- Mackenzie Heerdt: Yaay!! I've been waiting for it. Who's been waiting for this because of twitter???
- Courtney Carter: Thank you so much Josh!!!! I really needed to hear a lot of that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you!!!
- brandy troutt: i loved everything you said! so so true and i can't wait for more content from you josh
- Maria Jose Pena Cabrera: Dear Josh, I usually never comment on YouTube videos but after watching this I felt the need to say Thank You. This video is really special to me because I can relate to trying to project happiness and perfection that isn't really there, and it sucks. So thank you for making me feel understood when none of my friends could, I really needed it. Love you lots and I hope your week (and the rest of the year) gets better :) (p.s.: you should be proud of yourself, because you have no idea of the huge positive influence you have just made in people like me. Take care!❤️❤️)
- Dazzling Jewels: Yay. I love you. I'm sure I'll love the real you even more.
- kopitikop: This was very inspirational, is good to hear a real talk, relate to it and learn from it. Good job and thank you <3
- P Peters: What a wonderful way to wake up to on this beautiful Monday morning! This message speaks volumes! You are correct in the fact that we all need to be who we are and not worry about what people think or don't think! It must be difficult to be in the lime light per say, with every word and every action under scrutiny! People all too often forget who their genuine self is. I hope and I pray that many listen to your message and just BE who they are! I know I certainly try every single day! Thank you for you being you!!!!!!
- MJ: I know you want to focus on positivity, but it seems to be coming off as a false reality when you try to be super happy all of the time. I believe that it's a positive thing to be able to be candid and open up, because people get to see that you're human. We all have flaws and it's not the greatest thing pertaining to self-care to always project an image that is basically false. You're worried about not being liked and that people won't tune in to your videos if you are not always happy and vivacious all of the time, which is why you've explained before that you often use clickbait titles. You should not worry about people not liking you for the persona you present to the camera. But I understand that your positive persona has been what pays your bills for the longest time.
- Crazy K Butler: This is the Josh I want to see. This is real Josh, and I like it :)
- Emely Velasquez: your beard
- Delia Negron: I admire your strength throughout this hardship in your life. Pain is meant to be felt, and because of the pain, we can appreciate the happiness even more when it comes. You have grown so much in such a short span of time, and it's been so awesome to see. Keep finding the good in every situation. I am a firm believer in that everything happens for a reason. So keep finding those reasons and keep growing and becoming a better man. You can only go up from here. Thank for your authenticity and realness with your platform. I appreciate it because its not something we see too often in this community. Thank you for your courage to vulnerable with us. Know because you are vulnerable and real, you are TRULY touching so many more lives and hearts with your positivity and strength. Keep doing what you're doing. You're on the path to many awesome things.
- BlueWave: Thank you so much for being your authentic self, complete with all the highs and lows and ups and downs. I find myself being disconnected from other YouTubers, who I find unrelatable. This video is the first video in a long time that I felt 'connected' to a YouTuber .. a human being and not an image. You even left out your usual opening and closing lines b/c that's part of the image, in a way. I am going through an extremely difficult time in my life and am just trying to figure out who I am and what this life is all about. Thank you for being exactly who you are and putting it all out there. It is inspiring. I am very much looking forward to your future content.
- Victoria C: I know what you mean. Sometimes it takes going into a really dark space to lose the fear of wanting to seem perfect for everyone else and just start going after what you really want. When you're yourself and you do what you love or what makes you happy it really shows in the content you produce. I think viewers are more drawn to authenticity than the fake positivity anyway, at least this viewer is. So keep your head up and just do you.
- cjz Chelsea josey Zaragoza: did anyone see the Netflix in the background
- Melissa Brooker: Josh, I'm not going anywhere. If anything, I like you MORE the more real you are. I can understand trying to hide what's happening, but honestly, you are great just the way you are!
- Segman1234: I know this is hard to hear, but sometimes in life, we need bumps to help us grow to be better people. I see that you and your sister, who I just love, have grown through this. I really enjoy watching bother of you and hearing what you have to say. It's enlightening and entertaining. Be you! Thanks Bro!
- Samantha M.: whatisgoingonwithdodieandjontellmethanks I've watched them for more than a year now :)
- Zimm VI: I think him not saying that at the end is part of what this whole video is about. He didn't say it because maybe he didn't feel like saying it on this particular video. If he did say it and didn't genuinely mean it, then this whole video would mean nothing. Why would he say something just because everyone is expecting it from him? If he doesn't feel like saying it, he shouldn't need to feel obligated to. Why should that make people in the comment section mad or sad or say "Oh, he's changed and not the same Josh we've known?" (This is not directed to you personally, Mara :P i'm just thinking aloud - Just putting this out there)
- Morgie Doodle: EveryDay You make me smile no matter what mood i am in or where i am they always put a smile on my face
- Cara Elizabeth: much love to you josh. cant wait to see what videos you put up.
- Jordan Purrington: I love you forever and always❤❤
- T Mckinney: Best Video ever. Thank you
- Jennifer Renaud: I love this video and ideas! I would love if you would talk about religion because that's always a hard topic and usually filled with struggles and being a pastors son would have an interesting take on your views and how you live within those views.
- Lexa Terrestrial: beautiful message. <3
- Ally Marie: I will never stop loving and supporting you, Joshua. ❤️
- Esmeralda Gonzalez: I loved it .
- Jennifer1216: thank you josh ♡
- Mia Sanders: I think this is important for people to watch whether they like Josh or not because seeing that what he's gone through and has the guts to admit that he's not okay, and wants to be okay is really important. Job well done Josh.
- Allison Perks: Josh, feel free to come all the way to Ontario, Canada for the best talk and hug of your life from me 💁🏼💕
- problemlikemaria: "Just be" are two simple little words - but when you put them together, they have so much meaning behind them and can be applied to every aspect in everyone's life. I can't put into words how much I appreciate this video. Josh, thank you for setting an amazing example.
- Jada Davis: I love him for who he is not how he look for the contente he makes
- Taylor Kearin: good for josh. c*lleen is totally moved on and acts like nothing ever happened, while josh is honest and is still heartbroken. the way he talked about her and the way she talked about him were different. thank you jde
- Dana Stansfield: Josh! I really love this new authentic you! I love the new direction your heading in, your honestly. I am so proud of you :)
- Paris Gore: Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light
- Lyndsy Rozensky: LOVE LOVE LOVE I think this realization comes with life experience. I am working on the same things in my life, trying to cut the negativity out and focus on just being truly 100% happy with myself. You can change the world.
- silvercatgodess: I love this video. I have been going through this myself. I work in a salon I always project what I think my clients will like. I have been too afraid to be my authentic self. I'm afraid they will stop coming to me. But I have decided to let that fear go. Its not my fault if they don't like me. This rings true in my personal life as well. I love you and support you for who you are. I will watch you even when the video isn't perfect because I like you as a person for the good and the bad .
- Brian O'Dowd: So glad for you, bud. You're right we absolutely feel like we know you personally. In fact today I was just telling someone about where my triple espresso over ice obsession came from and I caught myself almost saying "My buddy Josh got me started on those..." lol. Can't wait to see more of the real, authentic you and hope to participate in your round table discussions!!
- Steph B: Stay strong ❤️
- Starlyn Moon: Esther Egan ❤❤❤❤*hug*
- Isabella Hsieh: I'm glad that Josh had the guts to spill out his emotions. I hope he knows that people like me support him to the fullest. Love ya lots Josh. I hope you end up becoming happier. Nobody's perfect. We're all human. It's fine. It's perfectly fine. It's easier said than done, but just do it Josh. Be yourself. Do what you want to do. It's cliche but true. LOVE YA JOSH. You'll get through this. 💓
- Katie Hollingsworth: only 40 views rn
- TaylorGH1823: Love! "Start authentic from the beginning, don't just be real when times are tough"
- LittleMouseInABigWorld: Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart, But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, Just be true to who you are! :D
- OliviaMarieABC: Easier said than done, friend
- T S: Becca~G yeah I really don't understand why its so hard for people to see that youtubers aren't robots without feelings. When they go through struggles they don't just feel okay. They don't wake up the next day and immediately feel like making a cheerful video and editing it. They're just like us. When we go through something we have to take time to heal ourselves. There is no "publicity stunt" or "seeking attention." They genuinely want to heal.
- Abby Salmond: this is amazing! it's so inspiring. i completely agree, i'm so excited to see what you put out there next!

- Moriah S: Your honesty is so refreshing. Thank you Josh for trying to be authentic. Your outlook on everything is great. Thank you for showing to us that you're not perfect. Because the imperfections are what make us human. No matter what you're going through remember that you have a strong foundation of friends, family and people you haven't ever met that are going to support you with love. 💛❤
- Catherine Taraba: you go josh!!!
- Finny Da Fish: msCourtneymayk that's rude you say some other YouTuber on his Channel😡

- Kendall Gustovich: Get over it
- GK Mar: THIS. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤❤❤❤ Subbing to you Josh
- Nai: I'm bored of all those challenge videos and I don't watch them at all (well, maybe 1 out of 10 sometimes), and I was seriously thinking about unsubbing. but now this gives me a reason to stay. wish the best of you, sir ;)
- Storm: The way you speak to us just makes me so happy. I don't know why, but you sound so passionate. Also when you went "wha-hat?" with a little like laugh of disbelief, it was cute. Just gotta say that.
- Zyonese Writes: I love LOVE this! You show real growth and this idea can help sooo many people, particularly younger people, struggling with real problems. The idea of perfection and a "perfect life" showcased by social media has brought more problems to the new generations than ever. Good work Josh!!!
- Izabella Elizalde: Josh I love you so much and you are the best you are an inspiration to me and I love you so please don't be so hard on yourself and say your ok love you love you love you are the best

- Brooke Braswell: I'm here for you Joshua.
- Carla A.: Super proud of you. I support the real you and your upcoming content. <3
- Kara Dung: BE TRUE AND BE YOU!
- Im A little lime: "Then something happens like a child you never knew the-" THE SHADE FOR JESSE
- Sara R: I really appreciate what you said in this video. YouTube has been an outlet for me to laugh and cry along with everyone. I look forward to your future videos. Thank you for your honesty.
- grace: so incredibly proud of you. Love you forevea ❤❤
- Jade Carney: All I have to say is I agree. You are my role model.
- Rebecca S: Joshua I am so happy that you were so honest with us. I have been through horrible break ups and being able to say you're not okay is so brave! This inspired me, so thank you!
- TheTerryChronicles: Mad respect 🙌🏽👌🏽
- Lola P: Josh you have hit the nail on the head. 🙌
- Username: Josh, you're really so intelligent, you should put that emotion into something amazing.
- f l o w e r b o y: They divorced?!??!!
- Savanna Maneritch: Proud of you
- Becky Quick: rambing josh
- Keegan McCarthy: Kaiya Steyskal so, today?
- Jbeliski: Perfection for youtubers is an impossibility. look at Shaycarl projecting his perfect happiness and in the meantime he was sending jerk off video's to video cam strippers and is a total alcoholic that needs rehab. Youtube has become worse than reality tv. It's a joke.
- withchanwoo: I kinda don't agree with you, Josh. It's just that, for me, being yourself is good-- but being yourself that you can't control and do anything you like that might actually result something bad is somewhat IMMATURE. Your inner self may sometimes tell you things you want to do authentically, good and bad. Letting the good perspective happen and refusing the bad perspective your inner self told you-- that's when you become MATURED, and that's better than "being yourself".
- Ally Criddle: First, don't apologize for being yourself! (in reference to the beginning of the video) Second, I loved this video. Third, I just want to let you know I'll always support you. Fourth, I freakin love you.
- Stprincess: Okay, yeah, but your hair looks on POINT.
- Zaena Alzahrawi: Everyone needs to watch this video.
- Fabiha Azim: I'm excited to see Josh being himself. I'm going to be honest. I used to be a hardcore Josh fan when he did his daily vlogs. I watched every single one. All the way back before Creep The Christmas Tree (Fun Fact: I actually tweeted out the name and Josh adopted it for that little weirdo tree) I recently unsubscribed because I couldn't handle the clickbait and the fake peppy Josh. I could tell he wasn't the same after the divorce. Subbing again, and I'm really happy for you realizing all of this. Godspeed Joshua. Btw: this video is really well worded 👍👍
- Hollie Hawkins: This is the video that convinced me to subscribe. Way to keep it real, Josh. I'm rooting for you.
- Zan Serfontein: Yes! You're already so much more relatable!
- Lynkep Sonrobin: Take care of you Josh! I like the "real" you!
- Mallory Zieger: Thank you for saying this. I was having a conversation with a friend who said I looked depressed in my videos. Well if I'm having a down day I'm not going to fake being happy, I'm just going to be me and share my life. Good bad or indifferent! Also I've been talking to my mom about how I once related to some YouTubers when they use to be raw and show emotion. Now it feels like they are all putting on an act. It's sad because you loose that feel of community.
- Alisha Cherree: Josh, I'm not the one who typically comments on a video; however, I felt the need to share this. I want to thank you. I have been waiting for you to reach this point for a while. I have been watching you for years and I always felt like I actually knew you. It was obviously hard to watch you both hurt and mend from such a broken time. I thought you would come back real and authentic but then I saw you scared. I don't mean that in a bad way. But actually as you said. Scared to lose followers for views. I have prayed for you through this time. I don't see you as some YouTube star. I wouldn't consider myself a "fan". I think that those scenes are crazy. I guess that being because I'm not a teenager.. You are a normal person, as am I. I pray that you find peace and comfort through this time. That you do remember that authenticity is the best thing you can give to the ones who actually care about you. You'll never please everyone and that's okay. Learn to love yourself again. Be happy with who Joshua David Evans is. Smile because you are happy not because you need a facade. Do you. But allow the ones who care to come in. Thank you for sharing your life with millions of people but personally thank you for sharing it with me. A young adult who knows your struggles all too well.
- Susie Synth: hugs from one Moonwalker to another!!
- Ryan H. Lesley Wilson: I love this. I honestly wish we saw more of this kind of authenticity from big-name YouTubers and video producers ... thanks for this. I think those people are automatic response to the question how are you is just say hey I'm good whether we are or not. authentic is awesome 👌
- Doughnoz: Bravo Josh ! You be who you are. I see the pain in your eyes and I get it . it's been almost 3 years for me maybe we can work at it together
- Danielle Wittsell: THIS inspires me so much. I super struggle with people liking me and being afraid to be myself. I will also make effort to be OK with my authentic self. Thank you!
- Michael Laughlin: Amen brother!
- TheTrb1987: Josh, I truly wish I could hug you!! I think that your a awesome person, keep being you!!! love ya!!
- Kristen Marie: Sophia H agreed
- Marissa Ramos: Love you Josh! I'm excited for new content and this next chapter of your life :) stay strong
- Jeanie Tramontano: This is truly great
- Claire Beard: did anyone else notice that he did not do the traditional outtro?
- Jessie Rindos: i love you!!
- Charlotte Wambach: +JoshuaDTV I love you so so much. this is so reassuring about life and stuff for me. I hope this works for you and we'll all be here to support you.
- LegallyBlondeLover09: Thank you josh... we need to be our true selves. 💜
- Greta Hagofsky: ok first of all,(disclaimer not trying to be rude here)why would they say it's fake and put that on the news almost everyone in that state saw the news on that and saying that was wrong people could judge him notice him in public and be like he's that guy on the news this is terrible
- Amber Thaxton: I'm really happy to finally see someone on YouTube trying to be themselves rather than putting on a show. I can't relate to what you've been through, but know that this video shows your frustration of putting on an act. Every person has their own unique personality and it takes a lot of courage to show that to the world. You've just done something that most YouTubers would never do. Always be yourself, if you do, then I might actually subscribe.
- TheMrsBeagle: meditating and listening to The Power Of Now CHANGED MY LIFE. Eckhart Tolle. Listen/Read it.
- Jaclyn Radcliff: Im all for this, Josh!!!! Proud of you! Thanks!
- Lucía Prommel: This is beautiful Josh, thank you for trying to be authentic to your subscribers ❤️ also, your hair looks great 😂 Greetings from Bolivia 🇧🇴:)
- Amanda G: Also your hair looks great
- Montana Mama: 💙
- Emily Taylor: Love you Joshua, keep being you that's all we want to see❤️👏🏼😁
- Katia: Yes, THIS is what we want. Realness. We are missing the realness in the world we are living in today. I think it's so beautiful that you want to be a part of a change. You are in the public eye, you influence people every day. So let's make what they see of you the REAL you, the bad and the good. We love you.
- mom and tru loves gacha: Do what you have too, to be happy be you always.
- Jerri Ann McEntire: Deep... I'm thankful for your honesty and I look forward to getting to know the real Josh!
- SWENGALIS: I love you josh
- Silly String: What a breath of fresh air, Josh!! well done! Im looking forward to your next videos!
- Liz_ 420: hey bitch
- Evie Jones: Kimberly and I spread happiness to people I hold close and love. He isn't "nice to people" at least some people. So he missed the memo too
- ktlynmariesmith: There are many YouTubers who come across as fake but you, sir, are definitely NOT one of them. This video is great.
- Stephanie K.: i definitely think authenticity is needed - from everyone, on every social platform - but! i also think there are things you (or i) don't HAVE to share. like, you can share as much as you want, but also, you are allowed and encouraged to keep the really special, or really personal things just for you.
- Bryan Mills: Talking about authenticity and just being yourself just made me think. I am gay and I am out to a few friends and family but not totally out in public. The thing is I've had to watch what I say and do and sort of sculpt the way I act around different types of people and friends, that I honestly don't know who the real me is and acts. Ive projected a version of myself that is under the radar and just normal trying to fit in that I've never actually felt like my full self around anyone, and even by myself and I don't know how do to that or what that would even look like, I wish I did Just a thought, maybe this could be a good topic or question for your round table. :)
- heartsongsKat: This is definitely the most real I've seen you. I'm at a point in my life where I appreciate this more than just about anything.
- Priscilla Rey: This is perfect. I'm so happy he did this like yes kick it in the ass josh be you! be happy!
- brianna Mendoza: josh u don't have to be fake for us we will luv u no matter want u r going through like u said no one is perfect u r the person that u were born to be
- Alexis Stewart: Man, it was so nice to see the divorce mentioned. It's been treated like there never was a Josh+Colleen for the most part, and that is super frustrating as a viewer (from my perspective). No hate intended, but I can't even watch Colleens videos anymore, because they seem so.. cold? For the most part. I 100% understand that she doesn't want to focus on the bad, and wants to celebrate the good.. but this has to be a big part of her life right now. Assuming the divorce is uncontested, it's probably just about finalized. Emotions are healthy. Only showing the good is unrealistic, and I feel like it could skew the way some of the younger viewers react to pain and sadness.
- Liz Ogilby: You go josh!!!
- lina: We love you Josh
- Asha Rose: Stay strong Josh ❤❤❤
- Emily Robertson: Oh my GOD I was waiting and hoping for this video and I didn't even know it. I have commented on so many videos that this is your most powerful and I'm saying it again. This is something I needed to hear, you needed to say, and something that needed to be put out there for everyone. I am REELING from this divorce. I am devastated every day and I feel like it's just getting worse. I've never felt the kind of pain I'm going through in my 15 years of being alive. But there are times that I want to laugh and I want to smile and I do. And then halfway though laughing, I remember you and how you're feeling and what's happened and I don't let myself laugh because I feel guilt. I feel sorrow for you because I KNOW you're not okay. I was there for the first breakup and I know what it did you to you. I feel guilt for being happy. Because I know deep down both of you can't take the emotions. So I feel like a fake fan for being happy because I know out there somewhere there's someone that doesn't smile because of this divorce, ever. I can't eat I can't sleep sometimes... AND I'M ONLY SOME FAN. It is 10x worse for you because it is you. I've had all these words building and festering and you made this video and I knew it was the right time to say them. I hugged you in Portland on July 19th, 2016 and my whole world changed. I cried on the way home because I felt like I finally had someone and my world was piecing together again. And then you got divorced and now you're the one that needs some piecing together. I've been following the two of your lives since what feels like day one, and watching the way you guys handle this whole thing is something so new that I NEVER even thought about being a possibility. I'm all over the place oh my gosh. Oi. My heart feels so gone without either of you. I've made myself so dependent on you and thinking you're perfect and I've finally got a rock of stability... And I set myself up for devastation. You're not perfect. She's not perfect. I'm not perfect. No one on this earth is close to perfect. WE FAKE. TO GET BY. TO BE LIKED. TO AVOID QUESTIONS OUR FRIENDS AND PARENTS KEEP ASKING. WE ARE TRAINING OURSELVES TO BELIEVE THAT BEING NOT OKAY IS NOT OKAY. And it's going to destroy us. It already is. WOW OKAY IM WRITING TOO MUCH EVERYONES GOING TO THINK IM CRAZY I love you. We love you. People like Bella and Matt and Arnold and the sex club and creep and Rebecca and Julien (and Rory what's up innernet ) will always be your friends. So when you feel alone... Remember there are people like us that will write really creepy really way too long paragraphs that are all over the place about how much we love you and understand. 🎈
- Sleepy Perfume: if you say what happened exactly 7 months back, I guess we will get a clearer image... and move forward
- Brittany Selcer: This is my favorite video you've ever done Josh. I'm incredibly proud of you! Can't wait for what's to come.
- Wiley Warren: Josh's List of problems item #1 "acting happy when not happy" #2 Projecting perfection #3 Need haircut badly. Please pray for Josh everyone.
- Kimberly Broom: MLP Rainbow Heart Strings says a child playing with my Little pony...
- black gay antifa: Get the fuck outta my recommended
- Jessica Catherine: You are so real and inspiring. Love it so much.
- Rachel Abalos: i wish u could like youtube videos multiple times
- Holly upshaw: IM NOT O-FUCKING-KAY
- Lindsey Graves: this is why i couldnt keep posting videos because i was turning into someone i was not. i was morphing into who everyone wanted me to be and it was not healthy. i agree completely with being afraid your not going to be liked. the internet is a crazy place but all you can do is post what YOU want and for yourself.
- Andrea Godoy: I think it's safe to say Josh is the most authentic and transparent youtuber out there. I totally relate to this. And that idea of gathering with your closest friends and answering real life concerns is amazing! I'm all for it and will be on the look out to take part on them <3 thank you for being you.
- Tim Fam: I loved this!!!
- Melissa Buday: I am so insanely proud of you. There are a lot of us who see the genuine person you are and im so happy for that. I see a lot of fake people on YouTube and a lot of the time it's easy to see through some of it, but with you, I know you're true. Stay strong josh, always here for ya 💜
- Jo Patterson: Amen😀Josh be you and who cares what people think.💕
- Veronica Quinn: 100% agreed. I love you and our community ❤️
- Emely Velasquez: josh I want to say sorry because I have judge you since the divorce sorry I'll text you by instergram once again a huge Sorry
- Emily T: Write Adventure Julia 12 awwww that made my day! it's aimed towards anyone who needs to hear it! :D
- Nityaa Malpani: Subscribed.
- Cassidy DeYoung: I don't get how Colleeb is just completely moved on and he is still suffering because he loves her so much
- BoogieB03: Josh, time will heal you. You're an extraordinary person and I think the world needs more "Josh's" lol. So maybe we haven't seen 100% of you, but your inner light, the positive person in you definitely shines brightly through and we see your authenticity. Don't ever be ashamed of your true feelings. The reward is always greater when you asses the issue at hand sooner rather than later. Prayers and positive vibes to you and your family!
- Teresa Myers: Joshua, I see authentic you, your heart & your intentions. Thank you. ❤️
- Donut Man: See title *starts singing I'm not ok by my chemical romance
- Nancy Ramirez: I love you I will always love you No matter what. Always remember that Josh. Whatever you have to say..
- Ashley Gwynn: We definitely all struggle with the fear of being unliked, even hated, for being who we are. However I really love you, just how you are. And so does the Lord! Thank you for showing us your authentic self. You are intelligent, you have so much to offer, and you've learned a ton in this past year. Thanks for sharing
- Michelle Jacobson: I wasn't a subscriber (not because I didn't like your content, I just wasn't subscribed) but I am now because I want to be along for the ride. YouTubers are all about imitating each other to get views these days and I think it's great that someone is breaking away from that mold. I love that you're trying to be true to yourself and do what you love. Hope this helps you fell better❤️❤️❤️
- Shaza Suradee: 💓
- AnonNonnyMouse: I respect you more after seeing this video. It's okay to not be okay, Josh. Everything takes time (like fiiiiine wine) and things will get better. Hang in there, bud. :)
- Marleen Maassen: I do like you Josh. you're great ❤
- Alexis Mcnally: Josh i think that this idea is a great one! I want to know your take on things and all of that!
- Heysisters: Ok so here is the thing...I am not myself around people at least not 100% and I would never speak my mind Yano like "oh let's eat sushi-friends" now I don't like sushi but I didn't wanna be the party pooper so I'd put up with it...now once in awhile that's fine but I would do that with everything just agreeing with everyone...and now I've decided t start speaking my mind but now a few times a few of my friends would come tell me that I'm being rude and that people talked to them about how rude I was lately and how bossy-but idk what to do about it...I can't just be fake about everything but every time I actually speak my mind I get torn apart for it and I rly don't know what to do anymore...can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me
- Chloe Hubbard [Student EHS]: he's my hero
- Shanny Says: You are amazing josh!!
- I Cabron: Took you long enough smh
- Katie: Love this. Love you. So true pure and raw<3
- Vikki Simpson: needed to watch this video josh, thankyou for making it. In the new year a very close immediate family member to me died after a road collision. Although people around me know the situation, they still ask 'how are you' and quite typically the first response I give them is 'yeah I'm good'. If only they know how much I am not okay, and sometimes I feel like I can't express myself honestly because of the situation or I feel a burden on that people if I tell them how I real feel. Time to be real.
- Brittany Anne: We love you
- Sara: I just want to hug you. I'm very happy that you're doing this! <3
- Kinsey: This is my favorite video you have ever made. Now I can't wait to see your new videos
- JanJandles: Fantastic ! Why do you tubers assume we want to be fed a whole lot of fluff? I'm so glad to hear this Josh!
- Hillary Morrison: YES. acknowledging and sharing your thoughts and emotions (even the darkest corners)with your audience rather than shielding them is an incredibly empowering shift. It's completely normal on some level to feel anger, sadness, grief, powerlessness, and lost at times. Just BEing with these emotions and working through them will allow these feelings to dissipate-giving them less control over our lives. Also, I believe it will give room to share and manifest happiness, positive change, and hope for the future. Thank you so much for choosing to let us in and show up for us. It's youtubers like you and doddleoddle who inspire this community and shed light on hardships and invisible illnesses... it's so, so powerful. Much love and light to you, Josh. Xx - Hillary
- OnlyAliceMitchell: Josh, man, I'm not an avid subscriber of yours...but this video is absolutely on point! Faultless! I'm in a very similar position to you right now, for very similar reasons. I am not okay at all. At the start of this week I was in hospital on suicide watch... ...today, sitting watching this video, I have just found a little bit of strength; a spark of fire down in my gut telling me to carry on. You've just inspired me, dude. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SAYING EVERYTHING I AM FEELING BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO EXPRESS! <3
- alyssa garbus: YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!! Love this video you are amazing for saying what needed to be said. Your true fans will stick around to the end like me of course and will support the whole way through!!!!!!!!!!!!! All love and hope you can get over this rough patch in your life!
- Elizabeth Swantek: Josh, especially at the end, your message just hit me so hard and made so much sense. Thank you. I'm excited to see the real you :)
- Gia Pappas: Be authentic. Be raw. I love this josh!!!
- Li Castro: I love it! This is why I stayed in your channel! That authentic look you gave us in minute 7:09 You are really really great!
- Stephanie Johnson: The only reason I would stop watching you was if I saw you weren't being true to yourself. Your happiness is what matters on this channel, it's what keeps it alive. I found this video very inspiring and motivating. Thank you Joshua.
- Sarah Perez: This is amazing!! What you said really hit with me because I have been struggling lately Thank you :)
- Marek Tóth: finally. man, thank you!
- Elli Thayne: I think it's really inspiring that you posted this video. I always watch you tubers and get a little annoyed because they seem fake like you can't be happy all the time, but when they make videos like this it makes me realize that nobodies perfect and sometimes life sucks and that's okay because you're not always happy, but you're not always sad either.
- Maritsa Stuart: Josh for the firts time watching your videos I actually like how u are... and who u are. I want to watch your videos now because now I actually feel u are real... somehow I always felt there was some element of fakeness too youtube...
- fafa Eipuriru: Josh, you are just doing great after all that. Understood everything you meant by being YouTuber you wanna show the positive side of you so people wanna watch your channel. But is also hard to keep the smile on screen while you are upset behind it. You deserve better!
- Megan Elyse: The rules are the same as life rules: there are no rules. Authenticity= Jenna and Julien. Most authentic Youtubers around, GUARANTEED.
- Se ?: You are so smart josh and this video really made me think about somethings I should do
- AngelaCardy: 24hannahashley
- beautyforeverlover: we support you, always. love you josh!
- TL Travel: It's absurd to think that just because you're on youtube you have to present your life as perfect all the time. So much of youtube is about seeing people & their real lives. Happy, sad, online, or offline; you do you.
- It's Me: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Alyssa Andersen: Anybody else having the sound cut out at 4:46 ?
- TwinMom: yes! love u josh! Thanks for being yourself!
- Emily Weiss: I know this is a tender video, but your hair looks good - just letting you know ☺️❤️ #benicetopeople #youdoyou #prouddingleberry
- Veronica: Thanks Josh! the audience is not stupid. we can see right through some of the stuff that is a facade beause we hurt too. We experience high ecstacy & joy too. But there is less than a hand-full of youtubers who I believe to be genuine. You are o one of them. And I am greatful for your authenticity.
- Corinnia Bazer: Claire Beard I was actually a little bummed. 😫✌
- Sophie M: In so sorry but............. YOUR HAIR ITS AMAZING!!! I'm sorry I know this is not part of the video
- MG Urbon: Kaiya Steyskal ahahahahah
- RiceKrispy: If there was a "love" button on this video, I would click it so hard. I love how you care so deeply for your viewers and I love the direction you're choosing to take with this channel. Authenticity looks great on you :)
- Brooklyn Hill: Don't let ANYONE stop you Joshua, I love you and stay yourself.
- Miriam Christine Wootton: YES!!!
- sirenwater: This channel is about Joshua. It changes as he changes.
- HannahBanana: This is irrelevant but I love your hair! lol
- Lexi P: Thank you josh! You're a true inspiration! 💕
- Michaela Warren: He looks good
- dodie’s: I love this video. I love you. But I will love your true self even more. I'll bet you on it.
- OLLY G !: I'm sick of you tubers getting publicised for negative things all the time. It's not fair on the media portraying them in a bad light all the time. They don't think about how it can impact people. The media need to stop criticising the new generation of media and stop being jealous because it's got to the point where it's funny
- Naomi Roy Chowdhury: Don't be so heartbroken Josh. it's bad for your heart.
- Ntshembo Shilowa: How is your life
- Gaby_ SW: I love u so much josh but when u didn't say au revoir I was like ohhh this shit just got real 😂 ❤️

- KGrish: It's okay to not be okay! ❤
- Sheryl Daniel: Hit like if u think Josh is the sweetest person and he deservez only the BEST❤️
- West: what a beautiful idea... subbed
- Taylor Gordon: Hi Josh! 🙋🏼
- Water a' lcoholic: I don't care if people like me. I learned that early and it's a good feeling. 💛 You have a sub for life! Keep doing you!
- Ivan Garcia: YAY!!!! Be true to yourself, Josh! Don't become bogged down by the "persona" that so many play. If you want to really reach your fans then show them YOU. 100% the good and the ugly. The great days and the worse (if you choose to do so.). You would be doing a disservice to the fans by not allowing them to see WHO YOU REALLY ARE especially if vlogging is something you have in mind.
- Melissa Gordon: this made me sub
- Samantha M.: Amelia Claire Me
- Kiralee Turpin: *adds to my 'favourites' and 'watch later' playlists* , truly inspiring josh. I won't stop believing in you ♥️
- Lacy Daugherty: I am so glad about this !!!! Honesty is the best. show your true Colors josh !!!!
- Molly Goldberg: OMG JOSH!!!!!! you made my heart sink, you made me cry!!!!! Don't worry, your fans will love you through whatever you are going through. we will always love you and support you, and if someone does come along and say you are being fake and mean then screw them because their is a bunch of people in the world who love you!!!! Stay Strong Josh!!!!! Love you!!!!!
- Julia Mink: I unsubbed a while back because I felt you were being fake and I got tired of seeing it, then I saw this in my recommended and I'm glad I did. I've missed you Josh and I'm not okay either. I genuinely hope you have the happiest life now and that you grow so much as a person through all of the bullshit. Thank you for this video.
- Helloitskz: LifeWithCrystal it's because some people liked before they finish the video. Views are only if the whole video is done
- Ember Ann: Looking forward to more content like this Josh ❤
- Jessica Beery: i'm ready for the real josh it can only get better because he's already amazing
- Jes Workman: Josh, this divorce seems to have catapulted you into this next phase in your life of self discovery, strength and honesty. Such a huge blessing in disguise. So happy for you and all of the things you have yet to accomplish and create.
- Abbie Shultz: Thanks for being real to us rather than being a fake. Every once in a while you need to let the truth out, that's ok. It's perfectly normal. ❤
- J Manek: 🤗🤗
- Bailey Webb: So proud of you josh. I'm so glad someone is being real, praying for you! You are bigger then this trial!
- Adriana Hernandez: ilysm ❤❤
- MiSS DaNi: Gary Vaynerchuck *
- Emma Chvatal: Josh, I am so happy for you coming out and truly being yourself I cannot wait to see that transition and though it can be hard with many people trying to knock you down, know that there are people out there, including myself, that really care about you and want you to be happy.
- Twin 97: I actually felt like you were talking to be
- julio: I'm not strong enough to be truly authentic right now
- Rosalyn’s World: I love you we got your back
- Natasha Treadwell: I am honestly so happy that you are going to do this. I needed to see this today and I really can't wait to see your new content.

- Rhys Maidlow: Josie Leon ❤ my heart goes out to you
- Grace: Okay, you are officially the best motivational speaker ever!😂 Just be true to yourself Josh, at all times. Yeah you might fail and make mistakes, and sometimes you may feel that you're not being true to yourself. But recognizing that you're not being true is being honest in itself, you are realizing your own mistakes and you are conscious of them. You're so wise Josh, so so wise! Hold onto that, and you will become even more wise with age❤ love you xx
- Abbie Shultz: ❤

- Asha Kempton: I love you Josh & I know what you're going through. Stay strong, everyone knows you're so strong. You'll get through it. I like you no matter what. I LOVE you no matter what. You're such an honest, open person and you're one of the few youtubers I would actually call authentic and geniune. This really inspired me, thank you xxx
- Sakeena Moulana: this was truly amazing. ❤
- Katia H: you're awesome! Jesus loves you lots <3 keep being real :)

- Ada Hall: love you Josh. 😃😘😙😗👍🖖🖒👏👏👏
- ahmooella: Josh, when you are real, you are compelling...your vulnerability is appreciated
- Reagan Strong: No one is perfect everyone has to be them self even if you think you don't like it so don't pretend to be someone you are not that is what I know is right I will never unsubscribe from your channel for you being you.
- valerie covotta: yay josh!
- Aubrey Madelyn: Us dingleberries will love you no matter what. You are truly an inspiration. #benicetopeople
- Ashley Ely: he looks like that biker guy in teen beach movie lmao
- Tre King: Josh, I love these type of honest videos. I like who you are, in no matter what state you are in. I appreciate the real you and all its authenticity. P.S~You should wear your hair line that all the time
- J G: Yes be real bro, it makes for awesome content!!
- Marissa Thompson: Yes yes yes yes YES. This is exactly what I've been waiting for and I didn't even realize it. I've been a YT consumer for 8 or 9 years now and this topic is always sort of sitting in the back of my mind, I see people on twitter saying they feel like a youtuber is their friend, but when I think about it, we don't know the true them at all. We see the person they edit themselves to be. I'm so excited to see the "real josh" and get to know you deeper, through good and bad, up and down. 🎈
- Victoria Goddard: I love this & love you Josh. ❤👏
- 5bluepenguins: Just Be
- Valaya Hart: "You don't have to be perfect all the time. You can feel the pain. You can feel the happiness. Just be." ❤️
- tanyaa .k: WE LOVE U THE WAY U ARE...TAKE CARE
- Andrea Godoy: Yes!!!
- Rachel Gouvin: Thank you so much for making this! You are 100% right and I am so proud of you. Also, kinda been going through the same thing in my own life, so this was really affirming to hear. <3
- Cindy Lake: thank you for your honesty!! All of us fear not being liked but the truth is no matter what others think ,out of their pain, YOU are completely LOVE, fully PLEASING, totally ACCEPTED by the Lord , your family, and true friends!! 😘😘
- Write Adventure Julia 12: Becki Green me 2!
- emily: I can relate tbh. Besides, in my experience people who say or do bad things "for attention" just do it because they don't know how else to ask for help and let people know that they're suffering.
- Erin Curnutte: I feel like with the way the world is right now this is /so/ necessary. It feels like there's no authenticity because everyone tries to be who they want people to think they are and that brings about dissatisfaction from every party. This could be the spark that starts the fire. I'm so excited for this Josh, thank you!
- Stephanie Osoria: I just love you. Met you a few years ago in San Jose (you recognized me because of my eyes) thank you for being real. 💛
- Jenna Amore: I keep thinking about Jay's V L O G episodes while watching this video. Anyways, thank you Josh for making this video. Good for you for admitting your feelings to the community. I think I speak for all of your fans when I say we love the real you :) 🎈
- krhagg: Josie Leon I would like to repeat the above offer. there's so many things I want to say and I want to try and help. it's hard when a person faces such physical, mental, and emotional challenges...especially when you feel alone. you are not. feel free to message any time, I always have an open ear and open arms. I don't talk much on social media, especially about personal things, but I feel like I can relate and I'd like to help you. you don't even have to talk, I can talk if that's easier at first :) thinking of you <3
- Miriam LO: stay strong josh, love from all across the world <3
- Samantha Alicea: YES JOSHUA DAVID EVANS! Thank god for you! This is exactly what this world of YouTube is supposed to be and honestly exactly what it hasn't been. I say it all the time when people come to this conclusion and as you mentioned typically they just stop youtube because it's become too fake for them and they're too afraid what the world may think or how their channel will thrive based on them being their authentic self....if you lose half your subscribers (which won't happen trust me) at least you are left with people who love YOU! And over time, if you did lose subs, guess what..your going to attract even more because your now going to gain an audience who likes you for you and not this cookie cutter image your projecting to the world (not directed towards you personally lol). Look at Jenna Marbles..one of the most successful youtubers in the community, why do you think that is? She does not fake a single second of her life, not in front of the camera nor behind the scenes. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR! It's like your mom always told you growing up, don't do things to attract the most friends, do you and gain the real ones because it's the authentic people who really count. Quality over quantity wins everytime 🙌🏻👏🏻 I truly applaud you and will be here the entire way ❤️❤️
- Lindsay French: Good for you! Exactly what you should do. Do you and show who you really are! Love it more when people are genuine.
- Gabriella Del Castillo: I love this video! This is a really big problem in LA tbh. Not only in YouTube but in general. We all fake a smile, fake our happiness, we hide and mask our issues. We hide our scars. Especially those in the dating world, when we meet people, go on dates we go on those first dates acting like the perfect girl (or guy) instead of just being the real you. I used to do that, I'd go on dates trying to be the perfect girl when really the perfect girl can really just be being myself. Whatever you do, whoever you meet, where ever you are just be you. Even if you're alone and no one wants/likes you, at least you can stand alone proud and honored for being true to yourself. Much love josh👊🏾❤
- Alan Ojeda: Wow ! You are amazing Joshua !
- Roerto Plays: so proud of you josh you be you ❤
- Olivia Bergeson: This is amazing!!! This applies to many people not just YouTubers! Thank you 😊 God bless!!💕
- Braden Sampson: This is the problem with YouTube. What makes someone a fan of a YouTuber vs an actor or musician is the authenticity but that leads to viewers expecting to know so many details about the lives of these people when actually it's none of our business. YouTube is supposed to be entertainment not friendship. Too many people feel they are owed explanations, apologies, details about the personal lives of someone who is just trying to make some fun videos.. yes the relationship between a YouTube star and their viewer is intended to be more personal than that of a celebrity, but they are not our friends. We don't need every detail.
- khan s: "Verily in the remembrance of your Lord does the heart find peace" Al Quran 13:28. Josh I hope you see this... Ask yourself what is the purpose of your life? What's the point of it all. Hope you find the answers you are looking for😊
- Orlaith Towey: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Beth D: If your not going to be your self then what's the point of people subscribing in the first place
- opal rose: This is so encouraging!!😙😋
- Emily Reinhart: thank you so much for saying and sharing this, it definitely made me think!
- JT Fields: I needed this
- jade leitner: hey josh, I love you
- Lisa: Proud of you..
- XxBloodNHeartxX: This is the "YOU" i like! :)
- Gaby Garcia-Klein: I agree!! This is the real you. 😊😉😍
- Elizabeth Falk: This is the video that had made me subscribe. I am so proud that you are deciding to put forth your authentic self.
- bluetrane3: I'm proud of you Josh. Your true fans will be here to support you through the good and the bad times. Don't listen to the haters; stay true to yourself. I'm looking forward to the new content! Thanks for being an inspiration 😀🎈❤️
- Kaylee Walker: hang in there
- Lindsay Gagnon: i love this. love the honesty. go for it josh! cant wait to see the real you! :)
- Eleanor Creitz: YES. THANK YOU! The world (especially online) needs more people willing to do this. So proud of you, dude!
- Cassie Walker: I think it's really great that you're breaking the "status quo" that YouTube has created. I appreciate the real ness. Be you. I think we society has forced us to pretend that everything is ok all the time when really we aren't. People forget that it's normal and ok to not be ok...we can't work through anything if we don't allow ourselves to feel it. I'm proud of you and wish I had better words to give you. Just know that you have a friend in me. And friends who care and support you no matter what you are going through.
- Apekshya Devkota: you don't have to be perfect all the time, feel the pain feel the happiness, just be you.. 👌💓
- Kristi Rumrill: I'm going through what you are, my husband kicked my daughter and I out, 3 months after our wedding, told me he doesn't love me any more and hasn't in years. I don't want the divorce at all. he's my best friend. I guess I just wanted to say you aren't alone. I know how your heart is hurting.
- Taylor Pompper: Yes! Be real, be authentic, be yourself. I don't want to watch a perfect cookie cutter YouTuber. If I wanted fake I would watch tv. Too many youtubers are just like manufactured robot people. Be yourself and if some people don't like you, so what? Wouldn't you rather have maybe a little less people love you for who you actually are than more people love you for this "YouTube character" that's not really a genuine representation of you? So happy this realization has happened for you. Looking forward to seeing your content from now on. ☺️
- Amani Clarke: Is this about Shay I hope it's not because everyone just needs to stop making videos about it and talking about it
- Kaitlin Lisa Vlogs: This is why I watch smaller channels. This is why I make videos because I don't feel obligated to live up to a certain image. I talk about my past or my future. I've talked about how my fiancé and I broke up for a few months, I talked about how I tried to kill myself, how I feel like shit and depersonalized all the time. YouTube has become so saturated that no one wants to be real or honest. People think when you go on YouTube you have to be click bait, drama or exciting. People want to be "YouTube famous" and will go to extremes for it. So thank you for this video Josh. It's nice to hear someone with more subscribers than someone like me say you want to authentic and real even if people don't like it.
- مودل وردا Model Warda: I support you no matter what!!! I appreciate this video very much!! BTW: I love the sexy hair style!
- Audrey W.: Does this mean no more brand deals?🤔If it does then Yes!😆 jk jk😂
- Natalie Williams: Honestly Josh what I want to see from you is the real you. This is the first video of yours I've watched in awhile because the others were fake. I'm looking forward to your new content :)
- Rachel Fonseca: thank you for this, joshua. we love you and appreciate you and value you as YOU. no matter what.
- Lexi Kennedy: Josh would be a good pastor. They way he talks and addresses things reminds me of a pastor
- Ruby Kuerschner: What happened, u didn't tell us
- Hailey Clark: Amazing video Josh! A good way to get through stuff is to look at your life through God's perspective. Think of how your current problem can be fit in to his bigger plan.
- joycelyn palmtree: Good for you Josh!
- Steffani H: I love this
- Your Fan: powerful message. thank you josh
- Émilie St-Louis: Love you Josh! Its ok, not to be ok! ❤
- Saskia: more often than not i find whilst watching yours express problems through their channel i feel like they're not really working through their problems but i feel like you're really progressing and being honest with yourself so i hope you're feeling better everyday.
- Hayley Meibusch: I love you Josh always... Please stay true to your self 😘❤❤ p.s can this be on your snapchat
- Jayme Jauregui: I didn't mean it like that, no one really knows their private lives. I just relate to him a lot.
- megan henry: @Becki Green same nothing worse than a fake person
- Olivia Weems: I've been with you for about 4 years now and you still make me so proud! this is why i've always loved you!! The world needs more true people and i'm glad you're starting that idea bud! keep holding on Josh, you're doing great ❤️
- Brian O'Dowd: Lol and it's already happening...
- Chesney Grindstaff: joshuadtv you pray to the Lord our God!
- ThatGirlAgain: Thank you Josh. I am sick of fake smiles, fake laughs, overreacting, exaggeration and pretending. Please show us your true colors. That's why we love you.
- Wiley Warren: Did he say "I'm not a gay", or, "I'm not Okay". When he says Youtubers should be authentic, was that a poke at Mirandasings?
- Samantha Ross: this is brilliant, I hope it goes well for you. proud of you and forget any hate. it's your life and be who you want to be in life not just to impress others. nice genuine people will like you just the way you are ❤
- Jaylee Swan: This video is amazing! Cause that is what I feel about life. Cause one of the things that I tell myself & everyone that you just need to be who you are no matter what people think.. 😌
- tenzin palmo: you should go live !!!!
- Prisci Bega: This is great, God bless you in this new chapter of your life, I'll follow you no matter what 👏🏼 I'm really happy that you've realized this 👏🏼👏🏼
- Hannah Gandon: We love you and will always support you ❤
- Tiffany J: It's OK to not be OK all the time. Be you and that's enough. Try to see positivity in everything. Keep your head up. Good things will come. One step at a time, one day at a time. :)
- Corey Ogle: ❤❤❤
- Emily Worman: sending you lots of love. I don't really feel okay right now either, but sometimes it's okay to not be okay. Time goes on and eventually we WILL be okay.
- Meeky: 😳 your hair!!!! 😍😍😍

- Shaijah Wolf: YES! THIS IS AWESOME, JOSH! :D I Love You for You :D I'm so happy for you! Authenticity is a huge value for me. Thank you.
- Maddy Davis: I love you❤❤❤
- lea gonzalez: Josh we love you regardless just be you 100% I think we all deserve to be ourselves and just be happy ❤️
- Aspen Sage: When he was talking about being fake happy, who else thought of Issa (twaimz)
- Elise AM: I like this you a lot more than the fake happy you. You can feel the distance of your real personality when you're pretending.
- Monica Eimad Marie Zakariya.: You're a wonderful human being, keep moving forward-the challenges we face are meant to reflect our inner person back to ourselves clearer, so we can improve our internal reflections. I can't imagine the hurt right now, but I do know you can come out stronger and more focused on what you want in your life. Good luck, you will be okay.
- Jos: This is one of the most amazing videos i have watched from any youtuber, ever. Thank you
- Nejra B: Stay Strong ❤️
- Mia Moran: i cried
- Richie Lopez: Be nice to people 😎
- Visa Anderson: This is why I respect you so much Josh. ❤
- Rachel Nichole: I feel you Josh. In this society you always have to have this front and be okay all the time. That's what you tell everyone. In actuality you get home and it hits you that you're not okay, it's harder to heal because you're not living the truth. On social media and to everyone you're okay when you're not. Fake happiness is exhausting, dating and meeting new people is exhausting. It's okay to not be okay, I wish people would be more understanding of that. Definitely what I'm going through atm! Love you Josh ❤
- Mahsa Mn: Sometimes not being ok is ok....
- AnnaMarie2411: So so so proud of you, Josh. So proud of you giving wisdom onto the society's twisted things and how to truly see the real value in things and not things that never mattered. Thank you🙏🏼💗
- Amani Obaid: where should we give you our stories? insta? snap? etc.
- Minnie: I absolutely adore this man. I do.
- Heather Lobeck: I'm so excited about this! Be authentic. That's what I want from you. Anyone else who wants rainbows and sunshine only can suck it.
- Oof: U look like my BFF brother Brandon❤️
- Indy Behr: When does he say the word divorce?
- Grace Rosen: I have never been more excited about a YouTube video than this one
- Joey Wisdom: perfect video. thank you.
- Rachele Remy: 12th
- John Cage: Joshua, I known I've been super critical, and sometimes a little mean in many of your more recent youtube videos. I've done this out of a place of concern for your well being. This video is a step in the right direction. Keep up the good work.
- Jorge Maldonado: Thank you Josh this means a lot. I wish U tube could start over and only have real life exposed.
- Becki Green: I'll take honesty over fake positivity any day.
- angelica: im glad josh is happy :)
- Alexa Prok: I LOVE YOUR HAIR omg

- !!!!!????: I'm so excited for this Josh
- Amara Marie: you should be a preacher 😂😂 dang
- Bree M: also i love you josh!!!

- MANA: This motivated me to go do my homework 💯💪
- Tammy McGill: You make a great point. I'm interested to see where you go from here. And I'm glad there was no aurevoir at the end😋
- Elle's Reptiles: We're all here for you, and I can't wait to see what your channel brings :)
- TheCharity123: I have to admit that I'm a subscriber but I haven't watched every video you have done....but that changes tonight.......THANK YOU for your honesty and I look forward to your future videos......#JUST BE!!!!!
- roses r red: I love that you are bring in all this realness its awesome but your hair😍😍😍
- Tina M Fam: good work Josh Thanks for your vulnerability. Being true to yourself and showing it to us is giving others power to do the same! Good work. I support you and I'm liking what I see. hugs we are humans BEING.
- Maryanna Plenger: love LovE LOVE this!!!! Seriously L <3 V E
- tenzin palmo: it's good to come up as who you are 👏
- Jenna Burke: love you!
- Robin Cope: Just subscribed cause not to many people want to be authentic anymore. And I believe that it only takes one to change the world and how we think.
- angelica: i just really wanted them to work things out :(( josh wanted to i know but colleen's otherwise and that makes me sad
- Jeanie Tramontano: I love your hair
- Cayla Coy: Yass Bitch! Keep it real! I'm ready for the true Josh, who i could see being hinted at for months, and ready to get to know the real you better! Love you Joshua!
- Jhalana Frederick: Where's the beard man? I was digging it!!
- Natalie May: You're awesome! Thank you so, so much for everything you do! And you've got this, your happiness will come soon. And it will be even better then you imagined!
- Guen: I feel like you are talking around something that you wish everyone should know. Life could be so much worse. Just live and not worry so much. Do things you enjoy that will bring happiness. Happiness heals you faster. Show all your sides or don't. People will watch or they won't. The big rejection of your life is over. Don't close yourself from life so you don't feel it again. It hurt deep but, don't be afraid to show your true colors. All your shades. You get one life. Don't worry about those who might drop you again from it. Don't waste time on those people who you have to change you for.
- Buenus dias cucumber May: this is probably the best advice I have evr recieved in my whole entire life
- Valeria T: I haven't watched lots of your videos lately, my interests have just shifted, but this video made me want to come back and watch you regularly. I just think it's so important to show people that not everything in life has to be perfect. Some people struggle with their own problems even more when they see a "perfect" life in vlogs but they don't realize that there is much more going on off screen. And it's very important that you address that.
- The Basic Bagel: it's my birthday can I get 1 like please?
- grace konchan: This video is what the internet needs! THIS! IS! CORRECT! I love this so much josh! I'm so happy with this video. And more than that I love you
- Poonam Dutt: Do your thing, don't act, be who you are Josh :) We support you :)
- rhomo: Be real and authentic ALWAYS, Josh. It's truly the only way to be healthy and come to a place of healing. Bless ya!
- Anastasia Tsvetaeva: Josh, noone is going to make you happy if you are not happy inside by yourself. You can talk about your problems and unhappyness with your friends as much as you want but if YOU don't DECIDE to be happy noone is gonna help you. It can be dangerous even to be in any kind of relationship with anybody if you are depressed. Relations are about sharing. And what are you going to share with someone? Get your shit together, go to the professional psycologist and decide your happyness. There is NOTHING BAD in asking for help, some professionals really can take you out of big crap. But only if you decide to do so. This does not mean you are not strong. Even the fact that you are aggreeing that you have a problem is already a big step into the happy future. I hope you will be happy on your own one day :)
- typicalbecca: Preach!!!!!!
- Lauren Franklin: Good for you! So happy to see you stand up for yourself!
- Carissa Dunn: *an
- Hannah4prezzie: This is great Josh. We love you. I hope you feel better and I love you <3
- sophia kim: Wow...the things you've said about being authentic and what you will do about it is amazing. I'm glad you opened up about this topic and I can't wait to see the upcoming videos~

- Claire The Bear: Victoria Isaac break*
- Sarah McGuire: Notification Squad?

- Lexi James: Josh, please just be yourself. :)
- Kristen Marie: Agreed! I think is a really good plan! :)
- Emma Olson: Where da poofy hair?
- Elizabeth Adams: You are so strong and genuine. That's why we love you! Sidenote-- your hair looks incredible
- It'sM3Kyaaa: This is why I subscribe to Josh ❤💯
- Terri Fenwick: I'm not okay either. Not afraid to say it either. But it/we will get better :)

- Jerrica Perry: you're perfect for someone, someday
- Shelby isabella: 37TH HERE!!!
- Emily Suzanne: Ilyyyyyy❤❤❤❤
- Marina Gubran: I don't know if you'll put this on Snapchat but all I want to say is this is the best thing I've seen on YouTube. Love you Josh ❤❤
- Hannah Banana: Yayyyyyyy! Congrats Josh
- Wonderish: Do you whatever way it feels right. The rest will fall into place.
- KatyJane Toohill: I feel like I'm a disappointment to my family
- Hannah Cech: Really inspiring looking forward to watching more videos like this
- Zoe Huxtable: This felt so authentic - so real. Absolutely loved this, Josh. Thank you. I've not been okay the last few days either, and it was somehow comforting hearing someone else say it and watch them feel it. Kick life's ass. x
- Julia Boyer/Dunlap: That is exactly what people want to see. When everything looks or is perfect we as viewers feel cheated. We have crap in our daily lives, this is part of living and shows we're human. The Youtube community seems to be living large in their perfect lives and when we're told in a video we're part of the family or we're loved it feel rehearsed. We want to see you and truly know you're human also. I do feel this video is the first step to you not only finding happiness but it will strengthen the Youtube family you've created. You putting yourself out there is amazing and one of the most sincere videos I've seen. Words I live by are "Be you and forget anyone who doesn't like you, because our goals are to become the best version of ourselves." So if your best friend gives you crap or weighs you down, then drop them. They're not meant to be in your life. Your friends, family, work and everything thing else in your life should make you a better you. When you fall, which we all do, get back up, brush it off, and learn not to miss that step again. I'm very proud of you for the honesty and this makes you a more respectable man. Thank You, and luck on your life's journey.
- JessaJay: Cool! I'm down man!
- reagan Galloway: do you even care how he feels i mean your just asking him to follow yo
- Faith Kirkland: To be honest Josh, this "new" you makes me feel closer to you as a person almost. I really appreciate your vulnerability. Thanks for being yourself!
- P Howard: Great message. Super proud of u. Keep pushing 💪🏽
- Grace Smith: I'm so excited for all the new changes that are about to come for this channel
- emily: I hope Josh is seeing a therapist as well. What he said about it being okay to just feel what you're feeling reminds me of the mindfulness stuff I do with my psychologist and it really helped me to sort through and deal with some of my emotions when I was able to recognise and explore them without judgement. From what he said, I really think something like this would really help him sort through some of the stuff he's dealing with right now.
- ldevproductions: This is AMAZING. Go Joshua!
- Sarah: Loved this video and completely agree :)
- Moses Gabriel: That's deep
- b swan: I'm going through a really bad breakup right now. From 5 years together to nothing. I'm here for you!
- Juliana Koziol: Thank you for a great video. I think everyone needs to hear this and all you have to say about authenticity because you really hit the nail on the head with it and I really enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more content like this.
- Janine Jolaine: I watched you religiously when you did your daily vlogs & obviously I don't KNOW you, but I felt like I knew you well enough to know that you definitely weren't ok these past few months, & I can't tell you how many times I prayed for you, but I'm just glad that you finally said it. I hope now you will be able to unapologetically be your authentic self & find your happiness. Love you❤
- Katie Sheaffer: josh, i hope u find ur true love when thd time comes u never no it may take years focus on u first when u find u, ull know what ur looking for in the onex3
- _ItsNickel: People are always worried about people liking them or not. Al through out school I never cared what people thought of me either we were friends and stayed friends or not. I feel like society now days tells you this is what's ok and what's not but you just have to step out and see what is actually best for you. Anyway good job and can't wait for upcoming videos 😀
- Gunner Carter: Talk to God.
- gianna desi: I love you josh. this is the josh I like to see. the real josh. you are amazing just the way you are please don't ever change that.

- BwayHereicome: This video has such a great message. I'm so proud of you Josh. And I really hope you can get to a place where you are genuinely happy. I'm also really glad you have a great core of friends that can help you in times where you're just not ok. I think that is something everyone needs in life. I've been watching you for a little over 2 years and this is the most proud I've ever been of you. Because you genuinely want to take steps that are in the right direction and are in your best interest. Sending lots of love and hugs. You probably won't see this, but hey random person going through the comment section I hope you're genuinely happy too!! And remember be nice to people!!💜💜
- Alma Portelli: Joshua you should be who you are no matter you subscribers think, whoever unsubscribes, i not a real fan you need to be you no matter what. I haven't watched your videos in a while and I think you should be your true self no matter what the fake subscribers think of you, the ones that stay are true fans and true family 😘😘😍
- Tiffany Neilson: I love this so much. thanks for showing up & letting yourself be seen.
- Mia Farinella: I unsubscribed a while ago because I could tell ur videos were fake but this video made me resubscribe
- Creative Cookie: This is what I love about you josh. Your so open and can talk to us about anything. We all go through tough times, I'm currently going through the the most toughest time in my life. And I will admit its hard.. Very hard. I've spent multiple days crying and feel down.. It gave me a sense of relief but it never made my situation any better. But with the support of friends and family we can come together and be genuine and fight this ride of life. Josh, I've always been her since day one and I will continue to be there for you no matter what. You are a gift, stay genuine.. Like you said don't try and pretend to be someone who you are not. Love you bro 👊🏽❤️
- MSPSuperStar: This entinre video from "divorce" I was crying. I feel your pain and i understand exactly what you're goin through when you talk about this stuff. Through the 5 years I've known your channel, each day I feel more and more strongly connected to you. I'm here for you, always thank you for everything <3
- Wednesday Price 2: IM about to cry
- Stella M.: you are amazing i am so inspired right now i love that you have the guts to do this i am not ready yet to do this for myself still trying to fit in
- emily moran: last time I was this early there was an "OREVWA" at the end :(
- Briawna Pineiro: thanks for being real Josh
- kittycat7732: Smart words, from the heart, you'll never truly know someone-especially online. But I can at least tell that Josh is a very nice person.
- Linda Ray-Rodney: Best video ever!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
- Estelle Granié: I really like you. the you here. authentic. real. just a person living life's ups and downs. I've watched this video quite a few times now I really like it. really ❤
- Lupita Rodriguez: GOD LOVES YOU read (Psalms 91)👍 When you go through worried trials, Broken hearts and pretend smiles. Just look above and ask the Lord how much this pain can I afford? GOD know how much is enough for you he needs to get his message through. He wants you to call on his precious name, God will reward you with love. If you have troubles anywhere, GOD wants to hear from you in prayer. Just ask of him what you must do for he is LOVE and GOD LOVES YOU.😇
- Olivia Taipi: Mary Winder don't blame either one of them because it was not Colleen's or josh,s fault it just didn't work out as everybody thought it was not everybody's perfect and we still love both of them
- Katie W: You’re just like zac efron
- Pet_tula Rhodes: Love you Josh! Stay strong ❤️
- Auri H.: Ok, but I love you a lot. ok? Like, you are such a monumental person. ok, I love you for you.
- Carla Alfonzo: OMG 37 views, first time i'm so early, i love you Joshua<3
- Ashley Crystal: is he a christian
- KatsObsession: I find it so much more refreshing when YouTubers are real. Not that any of what goes on in your personal lives are our business..but when we can relate to someone I think it creates a better connection. Real "fans" won't judge but will encourage, give advice and try to understand. Real life is not flowers and rainbows as much as we would all love it to be!
- Holly D: This is awesome Josh!
- Andrew: Omg r u wearing makeup?? *plz don't delete comment if u are* it's fine cause I do .. A little bit
- Lisa Marquez: BEST VIDEO YOU'VE EVER MADE!
- Ellerie Shae: last time I was this early there was still licorice in the bag
- Olivia Perrine: I appreciate this video more than I've ever appreciated any of your other videos. Authenticity is a lost art anymore these days. So thank you, Josh.
- Miss MoMo: I love you Josh and always have because you have always been genuine! You are an amazing person with a huge heart and I wish I could be there with you and for you! God bless you my luv💕💋
- Kayla Bernal: Real people are my favorite people
- Anna mills: This makes my heart happy.
- Katy Condon: you should be a motivational speaker. im not being sarcastic this really inspired me and i think it inspired a lot of other people to
- Monterrey Style: I just watched your video, dont worry about beeing authentic on your videos all the time, we the fans understand that you are a human beeing too, we see only a small part of the real you, if you are having problems and you want to keep them prívate is ok, you just need time, you will feel better soon
- Arkansas Family: Be you, be true, we love you!!
- Lourdes Morales: this is so amazing and inspiring and i respect this. i don't understand how this has over 100 thumbs up
- ClaireBearz World: I am so proud of you Josh. I love that your taking this step to be real. I can promise you that I will not unsubscribe. I love you and think your amazing. from your n#1 New Zealand buddy. I will always support and believe in you. Be who you are. 💙
- Anna The Duck: I'm sorry ; (
- Ganesh Chellappa: my inspiration <3
- Kim: JOSH I APPLAUSE U FOR DOING THIS THANK U FOR BEING REAL AND AUTHENTIC. its so true, i feel like youtubers hide a lot in their lives, even if their audience thinks they know their whole life story inside and out, actuallty not only youtubers, this goes for the media and our society nowadays. we fake ourselves and wont let our insides out, because we only want to show our happy and good sides. Also, im so sorry for your divorce, im sure you must have heard this alot and its clichéd but please. please pls stay strong for yourself. things get better.
- Kelly Dyer: This needed to be said. It's ok to say that you're not ok. You've been through an incredibly trying situation and you can't be expected to be completely healed at this point. Fortunately you have a great support system, with your lovely sister, and all of your friends and family. And of course, all of the dingleberries! ❤
- kimberly amezquita: Jesse Wellens should really watch this.
- it’s maia not miai: Congrats on your baby!
- Hanjizawa: It's okay Joshua I'm here for you
- Karla Garcia: What you are going through is not easy at all... you are lost and you are trying to find your own way back and I believe YouTube has been an obstacle for you to get better. You said it yourself, your biggest fear is people not liking you... as a person... I think the mistake you are making is using YouTube (entertainment platform) to project your personal life and I don't think that's safe... you are exposing yourself of being used.... like the media did with your divorce. Don't you think is best for you separate personal life from the Joshua who's job is entertain? Your personal life is not a show. At the end, I respect you for trying and maybe people outside can relate to you and use your experience as an example, but don't put a lot of pressure on yourself. Follow your instincts and trust is for the best. I'm in for the journey 👍🏻
- Ramya Nambu: I love this. ❤️
- LifeofMolly: SHAYCARL SHADE HAHAH
- ultrakittin: This video. This video almost made me cry. I know how you feel. I project a different, happier version of myself around my family because I don't want them to see how sad I am. They've thought about sending me to therapy, and I don't want that. But, I'm going to try and be more real and authentic around my family. Thank you.
- Ireland mahoney: Wise man
- Kim Love: I appreciate this video so much. I can't even put into words how sick I am of fake happiness on Youtube. You have to keep in mind that aside from your younger audience, you also have adult viewers who have gone threw divorce and other shit storms that life can bring. We are heavily lacking a trusted voice to talk about the real shit that goes on when the camera turns off and Youtube fake happiness ends ♥
- Kayla Clayton: we love you Josh, you're so amazing
- ACROKID35 5: Dope hair josh!
- Tori Grace: This is the josh I missed and love
- Geraldine The Fashion Queen: He seems like he has matured a lot in this year.
- BeckhamBelieves: Thank God FINALLY! We've all known for a long time you haven't been the real you in years! How could you be wrapped up in the life you were. Those moments when real Josh showed were the best. We're all tired of plastic, fake, scripted. Give us you, raw and real and you cannot go wrong! Bravo Josh! Loved the hair too without all the height. LOL
- Jordan Doww: love you brother <3
- dacasp lee: Brianna Doyle well there's Jesse from pvp
- Lyndsee Hope: I love you Josh so much and I can't wait to see the real you!!!❤️❤️❤️
- Queen Destiny: hey joshua 💙
- Merrell Fan: Hi!
- Stephanie Johnson: Anyone else enjoying these open and forward videos?
- S a: Joshua, thank you so much for doing this. This is exactly why you are my favorite youtuber because you are so real. You are truly a good person and someone like you does not deserve to go thorough what you have been through. You deserve so much more happiness, life and love. You inspire me, and many more, to keep pushing forward and not letting something keep you down and depressed. I for one will always love and support you. Again, thank you for being a REAL youtuber and letting us know: its ok to be yourself because we all have each other as support and we are not the only ones struggling in this world to be ourself, not what society wants us to be like (wearing fake smiles and pretending everything is okay.) Even though you most likely won't see this comment, ilysm and thank you❤-steph
- Lisa Charmaine: This totally makes sense!! Everyone is always trying to be someone else, no matter who you are!! I even find myself acting one way with one person and then another way with a different person. I think as humans we always want to please others and make everyone else happy, however in the long run it only makes ourselves disappear. You have to love yourself first and foremost, and then after that you can truly be the person you are and want to be!! Good luck Joshua!! You have many, many people who will love and respect you for who you really are!!! xoxo ❤
- R: ❤ love you even more
- CONNOR: Did anyone notice he has Netflix on tv??
- Rotana Alsharif: We love you josh ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
- Evan Edwards: What happened Joshua u sound mad or confused or upset
- Sam_kawaii_Cat: All support here!❤️❤️
- Kristina Andrade: This helped me alot. Thanks Josh😊
- Alex Trautmann: Josh, thank you SO much for making this video! I watched it right when you uploaded last night and have been thinking ever since. The points that you made about you tubers only wanting to show the positives in life and not be authentic in their content not only affects them but their audience. I also think that this is not just a problem for youtubers but also in society as a whole. The phrase 'fake it till you make it' drives me nuts because we are born with emotions and if we don't ride those emotions out they catch up to us and eventually they will come out. I really hope that you being authentic in the good and the bad will have a ripple effect amongst not only youtubers but your viewers as well. You are a role model to many people and by you leading by example you will show your viewers how to also do the same. Also, people on the internet look for someone who they can relate to so when creators aren't showing the bad in life they are also making themselves less relatable to their audience and making it harder for viewers to be authentic in their everyday lives. Being taught to fake it or only show the positives in life sets ourselves up for a lot of other issues in the long run, life isn't all rainbows and sunshine but when it is perceived that way through those we look up to it becomes a lot harder to feel like it's 'ok' to have struggles in life whatever those may be. You also raised an amazing point about people starting conversations with 'how are you doing?' and the struggle of answering honestly or not when inside you are really not ok. I had a friend recently tell me to not ask her how she's doing because she's not okay and she hates being reminded of all the reasons why she's not okay. To the person asking it seems like an innocent question or conversation started but to the person having to answer it's an internal struggle of how to answer and a slap in the face reminder of everything they have going on and are struggling through. All of this long comment to say THANK YOU for the courage that it took to make this video and the on going courage it's going to take to be authentically and wonderfully you!!!!! Love you lots Josh!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Keaira Bobrowich: It's real he is divorced
- Maria: Whatever version I see, I like you Josh, always have and always will :) Do you the best way you know how, be yourself because it's so much harder to be someone else <3 xxx
- EmmaleighJoy :): I think it's so interesting how viewers feel like they actually know who they watch, when they really are only seeing like 10 minutes of somebody's day or week. I really love the idea of authentic, real videos. (I wish I could be friends with all my favorite youtubers, I know so much about you guys but you don't know me back and that's so weird to me!!) I don't feel like a lot of youtubers will catch onto the idea because it's scary to put how you truly feel out into the world , but I'm so happy and proud that you're doing it! I can't wait to see these videos. And if people unsubscribe because they can't handle your truth, they were subscribing for the fake happy, always fun Josh and not seeming to care about the real you and that sucks. I love you Josh! And I'm seriously so excited to see these videos. au revoir 😯✌🏻💨
- cowsrock1q: This is so awesome, and honest. Can all youtubers do this? I feel like most you tubers are fake these days...paid sponsorships, paid trips, free items/clothing..all of that isn't real. That's NOT real life.
- Alice Franco: Honestly, I didn't like you before, but now it's like my fockin' world turned upside down. I think you needed this divorce, no matter how cruel it sounds. You grew up to a strong, smart, confident men. Wish you luck with your new life, Josh :)
- Kirstin Alyssa: I love you and you're so strong, don't give up ❤
- Samantha Berthoty: Finally! I honestly had stopped watching you because I knew it wasn't authentic and it just wasn't the kind of content I was looking for. This is what Ive been waiting for. Good for you!
- Michael Morris: @traviewilliams
- Julia Brown: while watching this I can't even concentrate... your so freaking sexy lol don't worry kids I'm 27 😆 can we just be friends? no jk I'm so proud of you josh your amazing and your videos are amazing keep gping keep finding yourself you got this!..... just come get away and visit me in mobile al lol
- Savarna Wicks: this actually made me cry. 🙁😢
- Ryan Curry: Brianna Doyle I think he was referring to Jesse from Prank vs. Prank but maybe he does 😅😂😳
- Sarah Fa: wow. proud of you. can't wait to see you grow as your true self! ❤
- brianna uribe: Love love LOVE this
- Jonathan Hilbrands: <3
- Bailey Gilligan: Love it!!!
- The Lazy Eyed Forest: I'm glad you said, "I don't care" instead of "I'm sorry". Too many times we apologise for other people not wanting to understand you. Keep that attitude Josh! I'll always support you xxx
- lsw t: the only part of this video that i disagree with is the idea that most viewers think they know youtubers like family/friends. i think youtubers are often condescending to their viewers in this respect because most viewers are able to understand that they are watching an edited person. when they say "i love you blank" they mean they love the character that is being shown in youtube videos. they realise that 10 minutes of a person once a week or everyday isn't an entire human. some youtubers say they think of their viewers as friends/family, but this is one sided. the youtuber needs the viewer far more than the viewer needs the youtuber. viewers realise that youtubers are complex human beings, but youtubers don't realise that viewers are just as complex. it's all very condescending. anyway, i agree with the rest of the video, especially the part about the importance of being authentic from the very beginning.
- Paige D: Honestly I appreciate authenticity during the bad and the good. I 110% respect vloggers who take breaks when things get rough in their lives. Everyone deserves that time. At the same time, I'm glad that vloggers let us into their lives through the good and the bad. When you laugh, I'll laugh. When you cry, I'll cry. You're doing the world a favor by being authentic; you're giving people the chance to build empathy for others. That's something we need more than ever in today's world. Keep pushing on. You'll get to where you're meant to be one way or another.
- Wolf_ Lover1540: Joshua remember that we r here for u. Sorry if ur name is spelt wrong

- Heather Miller: Love you Josh! The best thing to do is to be honest with yourself, then everything will eventually fall in place. Sorry you have had a rough time, I know your job is entertainment so it can't be easy making everyone else happy when your struggling yourself. Be true to yourself and your true friends, family, fans will stick around no matter what. **HUGS** also I'm loving the relaxed comb over hair look you have been doing, it looks great on you, you look great regardless. 💞💞

- M P: This is by far the most encouraging, most YOU, video I have ever seen. Josh, thank you. Thank you for choosing to be real and authentic. In this overcast, sad morning, I feel lifted up from off the floor. I can do it too. I can be authentic. Thank you for your support.
- Melanie: So much respect for you Joshua. Really. You are awesome. <3 It's okay not to be okay.
- Lyla Rovello: Thank you.
- Amy Jo: You forgot to say bye to us in the authentic way :( You helped build me back up 2 years ago. With your encouraging words and advice. Your dad's advice has even helped! :)
- AngelHundo2016: JoshuaDTV, I don't know if you'll read this and I hope you'll respond if you do. As people, no we're not perfect ever! However, when you find the one you're supposed to be with, you will be perfect for them and they'll be perfect for you. Your human flaws will still be there, but you'll be perfect for each other because that's who you're meant to be with. I'm married and my husband is perfect to me. Keep your head up and stay strong, you're an awesome young man.
- Ben Jaccard: Shrewd REAPER or maybe he should go to therapy to get actual help
- Gigglegrl296: I know you were worried about people not like you but I'm already loving it, and people are naturally drawn to authentic true people, not the fake wanna bes.
- Isabella Apadula: This was such a good video! Why did people unlike this josh? Keep spreading happnies and do not be afraide to let out your feelings
- Seth Stephenson: He sound like a therapist that we all need
- kelllsey12000: I've always liked & respected Josh as a guy, But this is the first time I feel like I see him clearer. I don't know how to explain it, But it just feels cleaner listening to him right now, like there's no vaseline, Idk, I guess *I **_finally_** relate on a person level.*
- Catherine Wright: I love you Joshua!
- Toni Rose Noveloso: Still depressed about the divorce. 😩😩😩
- S Deutsch: This was your best video so far. Thank you! ❤️
- Emma V: Your right Josh you are an amazing person and no matter what happenes in your life you will always be that amazing person. Love you

- Christina Heckler: Way to go josh
- Maliyah Tolson: I'm sorry about your grandpa died
- blahimashley: This inspired me soooooo much, Thank U
- campbell B: This is why I love you josh
- lilribbit19: Thank you for giving the truth. Every time you come on I feel like you are real in that moment but I know you have not been "ok". How would anyone feel in that position. I feel for you and I pray it gets easier. I for one would have so many questions and would go crazy if they weren't ever answered. Hope you get truth coming back at you as much as you give it.
- Bruno Hege: I believe I am pretty good at reading people, and that outro also always bothered me. I cant explain my intuition all the time, but it felt like he was trying too hard to look cute and positive. And btw, I love some of the values he has in his heart, and that is all I need to watch him. I do not expect for me to love everything about him always... Happy he is deciding to try and have a healthier relationship with his work! :)
- LEAH: People need to understand that everyone not a entertaining puppet & I hate how social media loves to start drama to bring people down. But I call those loud talkers lowlife. Its tiring for people to expect perfection from others and I just wanna throw a brick at them. And josh you shouldn't worry about keeping it real. As a true fan we should understand that your life is not picture and you're still human no matter what position you're in. I hate how peopleu can be so discouraging and pointing out people's weaknesses. I wish bad karma on those who tease
- Me_ Hallie: WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND TO STAY OUT OF YOUTUBERS LIFE UNTIL THERE READY TO TALK TO US ABOUT IT so maybe we can stay out of it till there ready to talk about it 💜
- Anna Pena: :(
- McKenna Grace Kee: I am honestly really happy for you. For the longest time I wasn't being myself and I was really scared to show the real me . Now I am being myself and I have so many more friends and so many more people in my life that matter to me cause they love me for me
- Poppy O: It will get better. I've been through a public devastating, unwanted divorce. One day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time. After awhile you'll have a good day here and there, and as time goes by you'll have more good days than bad. I'm 20 years on, and every so often I still have a bad moment, but overall life is good. I've moved on, gotten remarried and had children. I'll never be the girl I was, but I'm content with the woman that I am. Hang in there.
- Joyful Noise Living: THANK YOU!! I love authenticity. Well done.Keep bringing the real!!
- Katerine Tineo: Josh, you've come such a long way. I follow you and subscribe to you because your the realest person there is. I love you!
- trx_C: 💕👍 well said josh! we're too concerned on what people might say about us, and that limits how we express and do things. i think the key here is to let go and dont care what people might say coz whatever the situation is, people around us will always have something to say.
- Darius Gray: As soon as he said "If that makes u mad...I don't care" I got soo happy for some reason lmaoo
- Eve Julia: I could fall asleep to Josh's voice it's so calming even when he's nervous and stressed 😩😩
- Grace Elizabeth: ♥️♥️
- chetty maanya: this makes me smile and cry at the same time, cause he's become so stronger now. And I don't know why, I am so proud of him! ❤
- Kathryn Holland Official: Awesome. Josh, I don't even know you but I'm proud of you. Way to be brave & open and authentic. It's not easy but it all gets better from here. We still love you. Peace my brother ✌🏼️

Share your highs and lows. Be You!!! Always. the ones I follow are the ones that are themselves. I can tell. Blessed Be babe. I wish you the best. Keep it up.
- Grace Blossom: Joshua, a lot of people have gone through a divorce talk to those people they'll help your fans we'll help. you have people around you they'll help you.
- Saski: How could you possibly know someone because of watching their videos... Sometimes I don't even know myself or the people around me. That's the same thing with a real eye to eye conversation and people who actually think a written conversation is the same... No. It's definitely not.
- Ayena gbabe: joshua ily
- Reagan Strong: 24hannahashley I agree
- Grace Jennings: This is the truth. Just be
- Jasmine Avo: Josh, I am so proud of you! You are absolutely amazing. I hope you start to be genuinely happy. I want the best for you. You deserve it. Love you lots!
- tcmxvs edits: Im early
- Maria Cat: IT's ok to have a personal life though...I know you started off putting a lot of your personal life online but you don't have to do that. yes be real but also keep certain things personal. hiding things from the public to protect yourself is really the right thing to do, and the safe thing to do
- Miranda Godbey: Ever since you been divorced you been weird and not fun anymore.😒
- X-Visionary Life: The social media is filled with lies, manipulation and will do everything to get views & money. I know life can be hard at times but it only makes us grow more and learn from our mistakes or experiences. I'm just happy that u are true to yourself and to your viewers, We are proud of you Joshua. Love yourself, be yourself. Your perfect the way you are = as yourself. <3 Your viewers loves u for who you are inc me :D I hope it doesn't sound too cheesy.

- jasmine sanford: Man I love you josh
- Zavian_Ramos2001: Josh it's okay to not be okay. If you feel like crying just let it out. Always know that we are here for you
- jj girl: I know what you mean about not being okay. life and love is complicated! we have a hard time struggling when we think about how does that person not feel how we feel, their heart is not like our heart but what I hope for you is that you use this time in our life to find God! he will help you through, go closer to God and I promise you will feel better and you will see in someone else's perspective and think as He thinks and you will heal!

I understand what you're saying here and I just want to say that my husband and I really support you and like watching you whatever your emotions are or issues or adventures are happening in your life. We genuinely care about you as best we can care about a "stranger" that we feel like we know. Showing emotions, anger, etc makes you even more real and relatable to everyone else. Love you Joshy. You be you. The ones who love you will love you however you are! ❤️❤️
- Laurafied Makeup: Holy shit you look like Tom Cruise 😍
- sun flower: I applaud you Josh💙 this is going to definitely help me, its exactly what I needed

- Alyssa Greenspan: I love you so much and i will support you no matter what💜

- Mickey Swims3: Am I the only one who still hasn't fully recovered from the divorce?
- Alex Super: Great and meaningful video josh! It must have taken a lot of courage to post this and I'm so glad you did! You are probably never going to read this post but if you do somehow, know that being yourself is the best thing to do. If people unsubscribe, that's their loss, not yours. People will like you for being you and not some projection of yourself. Whatever you decide to do, I'll never stop watching your videos! Love you so much! ❤️
- LilTobyStaR408: Amelia Claire yep he was totally referencing PVP and also when he said about 'stopping the vlogs'. Whether it was intentional or not who knows.
- Stieven Sons: omg
- Bentley S: All youtubers put on a face and they're happy to please their followers but most probably have deep issues off the camera.
- Delaney Walker: omg. he didn't do orevwa!!!
- Susan Raslan: You go Josh I'm so happy for you. Your being so brave and real. Personally I like all sides of you especially this one it shows the real Josh and I can't wait for more content:)
- Grace Wenthen: You're so brave to do this and I will support you through it all!! ❤️❤️
- Mayra Aguado: "You don't have to be perfect all the time, you can feel the pain, you can feel the happiness...just be." -Joshua Evans 2k17 words of wisdom from a man tired of being in pain but mostly tired of hiding it behind this facade of hsppiness. 💜 love all you can be and who you are!
- alyssa michelle: Don't be scared to be yourself Josh

- Thirteen: Love you josh!! 😍
- Emily_C_ 1223: Josh, this video was great. I have watched you for probably 5 years and you continue to inspire me. Your authenticity when it comes to stuff like this is great. Thanks for being real ❤
- Taylor Marie: idk about anyone else but i loooove this idea!!!
- Alice Lucas: I think i actually love you. I don't think I've ever seen someone on here be so genuine. Its nice that you feel you can be honest to us, but more important be honest to yourself.
- Alyssa: Im truly proud of you Josh my love and support for you is unconditional :)
- Sasha J: Oh My Gosh you remind me SOOO much of Ryan Gosling!! 💕
- danielle e: HE'S NOT OKAY, HE'S NOT OKAY, WELL HE'S NOT OKAY, HE'S NOT OH-FUCKING-KAY
- Samantha Berry: Thank you. I have many struggles that I am having to deal with right now and my main goal is to find happiness within myself. I don't want to find happiness through another person or objects or activities. I want to find a way to just be happy by myself and with myself without relying on anything else to create that "happiness". your message has set my path to reaching my goal. I support you 100%. Persist. Good things will come❤
- T S: Yeah it seems that a LOT of youtubers have been struggling similarly. Pewdiepie made a video about pretending to be happy while making content he wasn't enjoying, and he's one of the biggest youtubers. Jesse and gina when they got a divorce that became a big thing and i think something else came up with Jesse recently but i'm not sure. Either way it sucks because i hate that these youtubers feel this way. Imagining myself in their shoes I can really see why this is so upsetting, like.. To have to pretend to be okay and something your not can take a toll on you. I hope you heal up from all this drama and uproar soon Josh. I really wish you the best of luck.
- ImJustMe: I am so glad you decided to be yourself. Your happiness is what really matters. I know being a youtuber you want to make others happy and like you but if you're not OKAY then that's not okay! I went through a period a long time ago where I tried to be someone I wasn't to fit and and make people happy but in turn it made me unhappy. once i figured out I needed to be myself everything changed. I'm weird, quirky, loud love skulls and rock, metal, alternative and wouldn't have it any other way . please be who you want . The ones who care about you will stick by you no matter what and that's all you need! I have great ears if you need to chat !
- lsw t: Tatenda Madondo you're definitely not. i am very intrigued to see what he does.
- Brit29 B: Wow Josh, the amount of respect that I have for you has just grown so much... Thank you.
- Luna Angelica: I love your hair like this.
- Kaylee Butler: Brianna Doyle lol savage
- Gaby Bernal: Notification gang!!!😝
- Kristen Osborne: Beautiful. Just be.
- The Life Of Nikki Marie: You are absolutely amazing Josh! I love this new concept and think more YouTubers should start being the REAL them on their channels. People may like or dislike any channel because of what it stands for or their not not happy in their own lives but at the end of the day, all the matters is being true to who you are! Be true to your moral, your beliefs and yourself!!! That will bring you more respect then anything else, even from the haters. I look forward to seeing all the new videos to come and support you 100%. P.S. You look sexy as heck in this video! Love your hair
- Maranda Creel: Hey Josh, thank you for the words, truly needed to hear that. I hope you have a great day and thank you for opening my eyes to taking care of myself because I am a type of person that wants to make others happy and take care of others, but never really took the time for me. I really appreciate your words and I will take that to heart and drive on that. I love you!
- Lydia King: This video was amazing josh!💗
- Dani Latrofa: #I am early
- Emily Bickel: Thank you for being honest! This is exactly what i wanted to hear! I love seeing your true self without the filter and you actually talking about your divorce and reality.
- Teunie Johanna: Yes yes yes! This is so important! I feel like 99% of communication messages in the form of posts and videos on social media are unauthentic and initially I didn't have any problems with it, but the last few months I've been unsubscribing and unfollowing people that portray such a "too good to be true" picture. it made me feel like my life was a misery when I compared myself with those people. I think that when you are being authentic people will love you for that! we need people that are authentic because it's so much easier to relate to them. honestly I'm sick and tired of this perfect image we are all guilty of trying to portray online. Let's get real!
- Ryan C.: Good for you, Josh. I hope this brings some positive impact or change in your life. You shouldn't fear what people will think or do about this because any real Dingleberry will support you no matter what. And I hope other people can use what you said to bring their own positive change in life.
- Yesenia Garcia: I understand like everything u said but don't bring up other peoples problems. I understand ur comparing them with your life or to the fake yt life but these are different.
- Linda Jones: Lesbian
- Mike Hall: Hey man, authenticity is important. I've learned this recently and am working my way towards it. It's not easy, it's not pretty, but it's absolutely the best thing you can do for yourself. I've been where you are Josh, and it sucks. Just keep this in mind, you are more you now than you've ever been and I genuinely look forward to your vids. You, Arnold, and Julien are three YouTubers that brighten my day. So keep doing you. Work through the hard stuff and do what you feel is right and I'll keep liking your vids. I wish you the best!
- Jasmyne Kramer: I started watching you because you are not afraid to be you and you have inspired me to break out of my shell and be myself and not a shy person who is the mirror image of some random person that I have wanted to look like on T.V. DONT FORGET WE ALL LOVE YOU JOSH AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE THAT!!!!
- Amanda Gontarek: my gosh you have the same name as me
- crochetlearner1: I've recently gone through a divorce....I hate it when people ask "how are you?" I know they mean well, but it's really the hardest question to answer... 😢
- Cathy Williams: Josh it will be a breath of fresh air to start seeing the realness of folks. I would much rather have the real you. The ups and downs make us human and relatable. I can't wait to see the new vlogs! Much love to you hun! ❤️❤️
- Hannah wall: I'm glad he's gonna be himself more in his video but it kinda made me sad when he didn't say orvua. any one else's?
- dorota walczuk: don't be afraid to do you I was. but know I'm ok just like your gonna be
- Yesika Juarez: This is awesome. I relate a bit, got out of an 8yr relationship and it hurt just as much as getting a divorce but hey we are stronger than we think and there is Moving on. at first I though how am I going to face this world WITHOUT him we did everything together and now I'm on my own, how will I ever do it? well 5 months later I'm still standing happier, stronger than ever. Time takes care of everything and even tells you that getting divorce or breaking up was probably the best decision for you to find yourself, and learn how to really love yourself, put yourself first before anyone. At the end of the day I got me and I know I won't let myself down. love you joshuadtv.
- Esther Richelle: I think you have the right to share what you want. 😊
- Erika Pieri: be nice to people <3
- Hot Chicken: Such a wonderful message (Coming from someone old enough to be your Mama)! I can't wait to watch your journey, and hope nothing but the best for you! As long as you can look at yourself in the mirror each and every night, then job well done! Who cares what others think! Time to be true to yourself!
- Anthony Robledo: Best video on this website! there is such a level of truth, meaning, amd reason that we can all take from this. I feel like it should be mandatory for anyone on youtube to this this video. Scratch that, EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD. We all project an image of ourselves of who we want to be instead of showing and embracing our true side. I personally watch youtubers who are open about the good the bad and the dirty. that's what I love ti watch. I don't want to see fake happiness. I want a real online friend who I feel confident that I know and love. I feel that way about Josh and many other youtubers I watch. I wish more of the youtubers I like felt more comfortable to share that side of them with the Internet. I understand how scary it could be because of what attention seeking assholes who create drama on the personal issues of others, but if they have the balls to say "You know what, SCREW THEM!!! If I'm going to be me in life, I am going to be ME in life." Preach Josh PREACH!!!!!!!!
- MondlerForever123: Edgar Cruz Then don't reply
- Ashlyn Sparham: Agree with Erin your sis

- Carl Owens: I fucking hate you BITCH
- brooke marie: josh, I think you're great and brave and really healing. thank you for being so honest and caring and loving your viewers so much. stay strong buddy, love you 💜
- Carolina Fermoselle: This is SO respectable. You have wonderful friends might I add. Their willingness to take the time away from the bullshit and pretense to actually break things down and help you heal...that's rare. Of course we all want you to be happy but we also want authenticity as viewers and we are here to ride that wave with you until you get to a happy place in life. Your new approach definitely has you on the right track. Sending love and positivity your way!
- itsmolly: I watched you years ago and stopped, I don't know why but I did, and now I've started watching you again and I wish I never stopped! X

- Shellie Thomas: <3
- Shamel Qunash: Am I the only one who thought that this is his coming out video?
- Aimee Marie: God, nothing is more annoying when people do that "I choose to be happy/happiness is a choice" bullshit. Sadness is a valid emotion... and I can't stand when people want to act like it isn't. I'm happy to see that you are not going to put up a fake version of yourself for people to see. Looking forward to the change.
- Madeleine: Good on you Josh!
- WhateverIsTrueASMR: I think this video is SO IMPORTANT! SO many youtubers are all about how they wanna "make positive videos" and "make people happy"... but how can we be truly happy if we think we are alone in our suffering? Sharing the good AND the bad is what draws me to youtubers the most! 😘 😘 😘
- anydaykay: Josh I love this! You are by far one of my favorites on YouTube for this very reason! You're real! You inspire me and you are incredible! Can't wait to see where this goes!!! ❤
- Americas Harrington: Joshua I know you don't lie!

- Jennifer Stewart: That's just the reality of being honest, unfortunately
- Jennifer Lynn: I'm glad you made this video. I was with my ex bf for a little over 8 years and although we had our problems and stuff- it still feels like a void in my life. It hasn't been easy and there are days I feel great but others not so much. You are human and I just wanna THANK YOU for being real. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Lis: YES! This is the Josh I subscribed to! Not this let's try weird candy and hang out with people less than half my age Josh!
- Cheryl Zuccola: Also if I got 5.9k views on my vid should I be getting money
- Emily Kauffman: Thank you, Josh. You have no idea how much I needed this...how much my authentic self needed it. ❤ Can't wait for the new content!

- brynna.: bless you
- Kamilah: How is everyone doing?
- Julietta Gonzalez: you´re a great talker
- Frankie Butcher: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Known_Terrestrial: This concept of being your authentic self is a fascinating one. Especially with social media today, I think everyone is guilty of projecting an image of what they want versus what actually is.
- Rosemarie Ann Awa: I'm learning every day that it's perfectly okay not to feel okay. Social Media makes us guilty of putting up a facade that we are when honestly we're not. Be genuine, and stay honest. 💜
- Emily Jankura: I love how clearly and proudly he could straight out say how he felt. Josh has been though so much he deserves a lot more than he is given
- .: This is what every YouTuber should do in glad josh did thank you josh this makes my heart warm I'm so proud you

- Taylor Mendenhall: I love you Josh!!
- Kandi Fox: Yes!!! This video opened my eyes to who I really am and how I project on social media and in social situations in general. Thank you Josh. I am really looking forward to your videos!!
- EvilCupcake: Josh, I've been watching you for a long time and very rarely comment... But I had to comment today. I am SO proud of you. It is such an important, valuable thing that you are doing. Whether you like it or not, you are a role model to many people. Showing the world that it's okay to have a bad day or to be not okay and to survive it is such a valuable gift. Life gets hard sometimes and showing people coping strategies and how to get through struggles is an amazing thing. More people need to be shown that life and people are not perfect and so much of getting through life is all about picking yourself up, brushing yourself off and still moving forwards. Way to go Josh!!! I'm so excited for what is coming on your channel!!!
- Danyella Kaplan: i love you ❤
- Eggnog Elisha: Respect
- Megan Hite: This really spoke to me. I've been watching his videos ,and many others, for several years now and enjoy the content. But this honesty and raw emotion helped me appreciate it on another level. Thank you so much for being genuine, it means a lot.
- RitaMae W: His authentic self doesn't speak French !!? # Au Revoir
- Claire Beard: how do people comment this fast???
- Sierra: Today I got told by my friend that I wasn't being myself and then I saw this... I'm really glad I watched it because it's helping me in my real life. Thank you Josh❤
- Evie Jones: Kimberly I'm just surprised by his actions and he threw her under the bus but ok. I used to love his content, but he did a lot of stuff that was really bad and he hurt a lot of people. And no, I don't have a sad life, but nice guess
- Temparnillo69: Made perfect sense and made me rethink some things. I hope I can remember this to work on my issues too. Thank you Josh 😊
- Carly Dunlap: He is so smart and brace for making this video good job Josh!!
- Silver Moon: R u gay josh?
- janiebelle quinonez A.K.A jb: hi
- Jennifer Jahns: I'm only here sporadically. Wondering, Josh, are you doing any singing whether for personal enjoyment or professionally?
- Kerry Michelle: Love you Josh!!
- Emma Schultz: This video made me so happy😄
- cutieag99: Although I haven't been through the same experiences as you, I relate so much to this video. I love this video! I love this idea!
- Moose & Squirrel: Thank you for deciding to be completely honest with us. I see a lot of Youtuber's out there with click bait video titles and content that portrays people they are not and follows the mainstream because all they care about is views and likes and comments and subscribers. But what I like about you is that you want to be honest, you want to be you, and I'm so glad you're breaking out of the mainstream mold. You shouldn't have to be a fake person for anyone, and you don't need to be. Continue to be you Josh, and we'll be here to support you. <3
- ON Family: Thanks for being real 😊
- Britt: is it just me or does josh kind of look like shane dawson here..
- Jeni Lee Lanning: <3
- Panic! At the Chemical Time Low: 😭
- TheOfficeFanatic word: Everybody has problems and struggle every day and how we deal with them. I think we want you to be real and express how you really feel. We love you Josh and support you all the way with anything you do. We want you to get back happy and you will. Time heals.
- Allie L.: What the hell happened to the title
- TheUnicornQueen: Josh I love u. I had a sucky weekend and I just wanted some realism. It's 1 in the morning and I have a choir competition at 7 in the morning but also have exams in two days and there's just SO MUCH CRAP! Man I am sick and TIRED of putting on a happy face and just say everything ok cuz it really isn't. I'm like sitting in my bed laughing and sobbing right now bc I'm thinking of all the sucky stressful things. And just like.... wow how have I done this for the past few months. I want to change my life but I can't commit myself. I have been getting bad grades in school, and I can't bring myself to study bc it's so much content it gives me anxiety every time I think about it. And my BEST friend is mad at me and ignoring me but won't tell me why and I don't think I did ANYTHING. She's just always mad at me every like two weeks.... and blames all her crap on me. But when she isn't being mean she's the best friend anyone can have and I'm tired of sucking up to her and apologizing for things I didn't do but I don't want to loose her as a friend. There's so much other shit in my world that isn't good to put on the internet but I wanted to tell u how much this video meant to me bc I really hate life right now and I just wanted to look at something and think. "My god this is how the world needs to be" bc lately I've lost a lot of faith in earth.
- Sasha J: THINK is it: Truthful Honest Inspiring Nesscesary Kind
- Amanda Esteves: I love this. Thank you, Josh.
- Lexi Burck: I love you Josh ! ❤️ you're truly an inspiration ! Be your true authentic self . ❤️
- FallingMiraculously: I'm sure this is most of the comments, but I'll support you any day. Honesty and realism is so hard to come by... falsehoods and fake news... unattainable perfection everywhere... I'm down for realism and I'm glad we're gonna get to meet Josh all over again.
- Chloe Briere: I'm not ok right now either. so thank you for being honest. you will be ok, more than ok someday. and all of this would've been for a reason. ♡

I LOVE when you tubers are genuine, truly genuine, and let who they really are come through the camera. It's like having a conversation with you. I am so excited to see your new content. This video alone made me so happy, I smiled the whole time because I knew this is really how you felt. Please keep doing what you want to do, never do what you think will make a good video. Love you so much and congratulations on this new idea. <3
- DogeThePolice: MatthewSantoro oh shit this is actually the real channel

- Julia Claire Taylor: This is awesome. Thank you.
- Xhoose: Me too honestly the divorce has made him stronger
- JLynn Boz: you are amazing! truly amazing and seriously brave. looking forward to seeing the real you :)

- Ciara Castiglione: Joshua, we all watch you because you are authentic and real.
- Skyla Fabbricante: do what makes you happy josh. i will always love you know madder what and nothing will change that. i support you all the time. i hope tat makes you feel better
- jave renshaw: Josh this is an amazing video and I think your right and your amazing
- Kelsey Truitt: He exposes to many people if that makes sense! Like you knew exactly what Youtuber he was talking about!
- WolfBlitzer: What did we do to deserve you, Josh? I look forward to your new content coming up.
- A C: Nubah Marium you haven't the slightest idea what a FUNCTIONING alcoholic is. Don't speak on something you know nothing about. Its bigger than being incoherent on crazy or sad nights. Sit the fuck down.
- Caitlynn Davis: Josh I'm glad you are taking a stand you are who you are not what people say you are
- your favorite: Zoey Walsh you where first 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼🙏🏻
- Emily Mancini: I have so much damn respect for you..
- Morgan Osman: I have the same curtain as u lol
- Gabi Pavli: I am so thankful for you posting this. I really appretiate it. I cant wait to see more videos from you again, getting realer and less edited. Its hard to put your life out for the world to see, and I think you're really brave for doing so. I hope you know your fans will always be there for you Josh! :*
- Michaela: omg i have the same netflix avatar as you
- Yarlín Herrera: This video reminded me of you guys, you were saying that you dont like to post videos sad or something like that because you want to make people laugh and smile, make them happy...and you said that we all go through difficult moments in our lives and you should watch this video..really reminds me of you and is so true what he says on this video. +Dolan Twins
- Shamir Flores: be an original because it's way more worth more than a copy💘
- Cassy DeBacco: made so much sense, thank you !
- rando: :( I know I don't know you but I also know that you are truly deserving of finding love and happiness with someone who will have the same values and will be authentic <3 There are Youtubers who are authentic and most of the ones I'm subscribed to (although they are mainly beauty gurus and not your category of videos) are, like Rachel Talbott and Negin Mirsalehi. For me truth is more important than blissful ignorance.
- Sheri Dobson: Best video ever
- Maddie’s little Life: you rock josh
- Chazlynn: Wow, I'm truly blown away, Josh. This is incredible. I really needed to hear this and I feel like a lot of people feel the same way, thank you.
- Dante Dantec: I love you being more authentic. Looks good on you :*
- Rink456: Sure you put your life online, but that doesn't mean people can just hate on you and that goes with anyone. I feel like now youtubers feel pressured to be happy and "perfect" all the time. As long as you're happy with yourself who cares about everyone else.
- Alex Perez: Josh with this platform you can change an entire generation are you are!! Its happening!! ☺👍😎
- Lauren Johnson: I dig this. I appreciate you. I appreciate this. I look forward to your journey man. 😌 good luck. Stay authentic. 🤘🏻

- prettynerdygirl: I follow you because I like YOU. I like your content. I want to see the bad parts too, because happiness 24/7 isn't real life. And when you share those parts, it helps people who are going through bad parts, too. Give us the realist version of you. 💜
- Kristi W: I feel like this is all I want from a YouTuber, to be real and not be afraid to speak about their feelings or troubles. Can't wait to see what's coming up!
- Courtney Bryson: I love you Josh, I hope you find your happiness and are able to get over this rough patch in your life, you're one of the realest YouTubers and I love that about you. You have my support and I'll stick by you the whole way!!
- Ömer Meydan: Because your faith is full of intolerance. Have you read the Bible and learned some history? I can't be tolerant against intolerance.
- Finny Da Fish: Nubah Marium WRONG😡
- Maybaby: your strong your amazing your brave your you!!!
- official tv clips: love you heaps josh
- Val: I love this. I feel like a lot of youtubers build a trust built on a fake persona with their fan base and then dissappoint them when they show who they truly are.
- Jenna Schmidt: Love it. Ride or die baby!
- Ann Mol: Honestly, I am more happy when you are happy. Do what you want. It is your channel. And, birds of the same feather flock together. SO what you make, will bring people who are interested in what you create, no matter what! And if you are unhappy, we are all here till you get over it.
- KRgurl: Wow Josh. I think your discussing vulnerability and that's never easy because there's room for error. Error leads to hurt and society doesn't allow hurt- especially for the type of image you wanted to project. A lot of people disassociate themselves with hurt because then feelings aren't felt. Seems so simple but I think it's a beautiful way to describe love! If you truly love there's going to be pain somewhere. It's a matter of how vulnerable we allow ourselves to be.
- Tristan kaiser: slay josh slayyy
- Annelizabeth Jordan: "You can feel the pain. You can feel the happiness. Just be." Powerful Statement my friend. Thank you for speaking truth.
- Osvaldo Lopez: this is such a *great* video Josh! :)) keep on being your authentic self
- Valaya Hart: Making such authentic videos like this would be hard because, although there is such positive feedback from so many, there's also very negative and hateful feedback. You get the opposite sides of the spectrum. And yet you still did it. And you are going to continue to do it. Thank you, Josh, for being such a good example for the world. Thanks for being imperfect so we can be imperfect.
- SarahAnn Washburn: This was truly an amazing video. Thank you.
- Lia Calero: Powerful words
- Artsy Weirdo: hey josh, even if you don't see this its okay, but I think you're very brave and you're a very strong guy and I've learned so much from you so thank you for teaching me so much. you're amazing!
- Anya: inspired
- PrettyGirlGames: THANK YOU JOSHUA! YT has needed a reality check for awhile! Thank you for being YOU! I am so excited to get to know you even better then I *think* I do now 🌻
- Mia Lee: hi
- Kelsey .Waffles: Thank you thank you thank you so much for being so honest and saying what I have felt and been thinking about recently. You are so brave and strong and I'm super happy to see this growth and realization you've had. It's going to and already is having such a positive affect on people
- Crazy K Butler: And your hair looked really good in the video.
- Tamia Mendes: Joshua thanks for being open with us
- danielle ramada: i'm so happy you decided to take charge to make yourself happy. you deserve it Josh love you always x
- Alexandria: When you put money in the situation people change. Back in the day people did YouTube because it was fun. When YouTube started making money people created these "personas" that they knew would make money. Therefore, your lies spiral out of control and catch up with you. Youtubers end up like Disney Stars gone bad. Shaycarl, Jesse, Trisha, ctfxc. Look what money did to them all.
- Emma B: You're amazing! Love you and your videos xx
- Scarlett Jean: I'm so not used to this but I love it:)))
- Casey Dryden: Ah. Josh. Love you so much. I love the authentic josh, who is real. I think your viewers that are closer to your age will totally get it. I think the younger crowd will be the ones who are picking you apart and analyzing, but just be you! I'm 26, and I think you're great. 💜
- liam and keirra game: omg 4 comment 38 like and 32 view
- Inge G.: I kinda gave up on wanting people to like me a long time ago. I want to like myself and I want the people I love, who love me, to like who I am. That's really all that matters in the end. I've accepted that some people will like me and some people won't. That's okay. As long as I feel that I'm a good person and doing the best I can with what I have at the moment, that's good enough for me. It's okay not to be okay. You don't really learn a lot from happiness, you learn most from the struggles. The struggles make you learn about yourself and see your potential. Makes you appreciate the happy times even more.
- Kay Baby: PREACH JOSHUA PREACH!!
- Marinel DC: you're so inspiring. we love you josh! -xx from Philippines
- HannahMusic: I think this is so wonderful! Good for you Josh, otherwise the internet will remain a superficial standard that raises expectations for young people (like myself!). Honestly, this is the most real video I have ever seen on youtube, I think this is wonderful. It shows what good can come from heartache. Keep it real Josh, you are loved and admired by many!
- futuregrl123: Thank you for being real with us.
- Juliann Nicole O'Donnell: you are definitely the most real on these videos. love the video idea about your viewers. helping people is the most important and honest thing.
- M Shann: Claire Beard I semi did by saying be nice to people
- remsey: I like and respect this Josh. Well done.
- RachEH: Good for you!! You do you and I hope you find happiness in that. You're right, no one is perfect but everyone deserves to be happy. I will certainly look forward to seeing upcoming videos and getting to know you all over again. Much love xxx
- Lucy Li: Mia Moran same, i cri ever tim
- Mrsknightful: YES JOSH! YES!
- ChhEriyka: This is amazing Josh. You stood up for yourself. Sometimes it's hard to express the emotions we all have and not able to express to the people we love. But it's always important to find the one person that you might trust what will always listen to you. We just had to to be who we truly are not what people wants you to be. I always tell people that no one is perfect and life isn't perfect. Know that I'll be supporting you and praying for you Josh. Take care and blessings
- Logan Kyle M: Thanks for this!! You said a lot of things I could relate to! Also, well done on being vulnerable 🙏🏻
- Regina Philange: oh my god im so glad hes going to actually be real with us cuz he made all those videos and hes been faking happinesss and we all know ur separating from someone u loved for like 8 years u cant be this happy. I was not as interested in watching some of ur videos and i hadnt been but now that you are facing this and youre going to be real with us im so glad and im so freaking happy for you
- Sextermcdexter _: Some child you never knew about Jesse from prank vs prank
- doina mareggini: Robyn Downes just be yourself, let them know who you really are, and let them take time to except it. If they are friends they'll understand
- Maria R: Did anyone realize that he didn't say au revoir? Btw love you so much josh. Love this new theme!!

- axebel: You...you are something!! ❤
- Anna Landis: Love you Josh! ❤️
- April Krabe: He legit seems needy and super jealous. We don’t know what happened behind the scenes.
- haioemma4: i cant stand the comments going "except *** they are genuine!" and some ARE genuine and you do know them SOME. but unless someone has like a constant livestream on their face, you don't fucking know them. my mum don't even know me and i live w her? people can't accept that there's things and people they don't actually know. YA even doddlevloggle and drew.
- Ava Heberling: this is truly a blessing to have these words told to me. you are an amazing person. you're so nice and you made me think about my authenticity. like there was this one time in music class (im in 5th grade) and it was a beautiful sunny day and the question on the board said, think about a time (not a holiday or bday) when it was the best day ever. my hand immediately shoots up and she calls on me and i said,"today" she simply replys, wow, good! why is that? i say, "i wanted to make the most of every day that comes so today will be great but then i'll work to make each day better and better!! and then we went on through the day and just because of a little thought, my day was the best ever! also at the end of the day my principal came on the loud speaker and said can we please have Ava (my last name) come to the office to get a prize for making today the best day ever! and i went up and my principal gave me a hug and i got a lollipop! 🍭 thank you so much for inspiring me to be a better person!!!!
- soyousay xo: you hit the nail on the head with this one!
- kd sn: Just be. I think this is going to be my mantra. Loved this, be yourself, that's actually what people like. When it's fake, you can feel it.
- Cheryl Zuccola: You will be ok everyone loves you and cares for you even your fans and family your friends to if anything happens you will have your family to talk to!!
- Samantha Kidd: I really loved this video. Honestly. This message is very heartfelt and it's awesome to see you step out and be so vulnerable. I have been a subscriber to you for years now. I feel like I've seen you grow and change throughout your YouTube career. And, this is very different. I'm so excited to see this side of you and what it means to other people that do choose to make content on here. Thank you for being a real person and for just BEING. I love you!
- Jasmine Tait: so so proud of you!!! I cant wait to know the real you and for you to finally be happy <3 love you heaps
- Deveney Deneault: okay i am digging the new haircut!!
- Becca Adams: YES!!!!
- Mikaela Insinger: Love this and you, Josh! Let's live our authentic lives.
- Rachel Stephenson: I relate a lot to you. We have very similar personalities, similar goals, and similar insecurities. I enjoyed this video a lot and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!
- Dan Gealon: I love you joshua
- Jay Jay Cooper: I love you no matter what 😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😙😚😘😚😙😙😚
- Chet Parker: But also I would like to be on you Snapchat please 😌😌
- Steve Aylwin: Good for you Josh - so refreshing! It's important for your own mental health to be authentic - living a lie doesn't help anyone, least of all you. Good luck with your new direction :0)
- Lindsey Bergman: Josh I'm glad that you being honest. I love that about you. You are an amazing person and I love ya Josh!
- Katlyn Marshall: Honesty, is something that is so hard to come by, and it is hard to be your true self in front of people, let alone millions of people. I think it's wonderful and refreshing to hear. I cannot wait to see your new content!
- Lacey: so true. the exact same thing happened to me, so i'm excited for him.
- Willow Chim: This video has made me like you even more! I love this side of you and I think more youtubers should be like this and be real and true! Who cares if you lose subscribers when you are being yourself because u might be gaining the subscribers that actually care for what you have to share 😊 thank u
- StripesofShay: THIS IS A COOL IDEA!!! go for it josh!
- Elyse Holliday: "Some child that you never knew about" hmmm Jesse 😌 no hate btw but when he said that that's what I thought

- Katie Trejo: I like it. No naked stuff though, okay? 💟💟💟
- Erin Elyse: This is great brah. So proud of you and love you tons!
- Sophie Litzinger: just do what you want to
- OhTheMemories: This was very well worded. I really appreciate this video and what is going to come from it. While there are those that watch some Youtubers for the false happiness (to escape their own problems or whatever reason), there are others that want to see authenticity so that they can relate or see that not everything is perfect. The rose-colored glasses approach works for some, but I'm excited for this new chapter in your life. You're evolving and I believe that you'll be able to help others do the same. And even if you never see this, I hope you know that your viewers like the real you. So keep on keeping on you wonderful dingleberry.
- Beda Huizar: listen...you are bone and blood...you are human! pray and let go & let god💖

- Jackelyn Lopez: love the hair!!!!!
- randomgal: It's okay not to be okay <3
- Arielle C.: Thank you, Josh! I was just thinking about this very thing over the weekend. How can we ever learn and grow from each other if what we're given isn't real. It's like Disney movies for grownups. I am so happy that you are doing this.
- Alyssa Mensing: We love you josh, stay strong❤❤
- doina mareggini: "Just be.." Thank you Josh, it's the most simple on powerful thought that I needed in my life right now. I think everyone one is always struggling with something, no matter how big or small this thing is, but being true to ourselves it's the most important thing to do, over all! And we often forget it.. thank you a lot, I don't want to fake, I want to be. Just as you said. With love, Doina ❤️

- remirocks123: josh you are ding amazing! loved this
- Femke Arends: Hey Joshua, i recommend you the book ''The Subtle art of not giving a f#ck'.. Im reading it right now and it really helps me going through shitt ;)!
- Lililuff: I honestly like more the youtubers that i can relate to. I'm not happy all the time and seeing perfect people living perfect lifes is not just unrealistic but also kinda depressing for me. So yeah I apreciate honesty more that "fun entertainment"
- Shannon Burke: ❤❤❤
- Kevin Hickman: I have watched your videos occasionally for the entertainment, but will likely watch much more consistently going forward, for the authenticity. Would love to see a healthy, happy Josh.
- jbson33: Thank you for sharing that was very brave of you to share your feeling with everyone that was very brave make me want to see what u have in plan for your channel god bless man

- Aspie Answers: Good to see that you're sharing your thoughts and story. No matter what you are going through in life we know that it'll test us in all areas of our lives. Stay true and real. Love your videos Josh. I know that despite the fact what you've been through that you're a strong man and that you're mature and wise. We're not all perfect. We just need to keep going and not look back... God bless you... We shouldn't be worried about people thoughts about us. It's all bout how we feel about ourselves...

- Jami Gisel: I love you so much and I hope you are doing better than ok! Be nice to people.
- Madison Lambert: Josh I am so so so proud of you. So many youtubers wouldn't have the guts to explain what you just did. No one knows how you feel BUT you, a lot of people don't realize that you're a normal person just like them. I love you and will stick by you always! I'm glad you explained this to everyone so well. Us true supporters like you for you!!! Go you! Can't wait to see what's in store for you dude!
- Gina Anderson: very well said.

- sparklylittlechicken: HELL YES TO THIS!!! 💙💙💙
- Sónia Carriço: you are an amzing human being! Well said mr. Josh!!
- Olivia Kline: The internet is not always authentic and I want people to know this because when something personal happens, the person that has to make the video about it has to deal with is personally and publicly and that is a very hard thing to do. And this is a hard thing to get a grip on because some of us aren't creators or in the public eye. And then there's anxiety and depression along with that and it's just such a hard thing to do and josh is a very strong person to be dealing with it like this. You're amazing josh. And we support you and love you.
- Ginna a: Well if you wanted honesty
- Dastiel4ever: There are only a few people that I watch that I truly feel close to. You are one of them, and I'm thankful for that. You, Julian, Jenna, RJ (theNotAdam), Amp and Bolt (Watts the safeword), Philip DeFranco, Jess and Jamie from the Snow Dog vlogs, Matthew Santoro, Rob Dyke, markiplier, jacksepticeye, asap science, and the vlogbrothers. I only watch these people everyday because I can see who they are truly, honestly, wholeheartedly them. I love you so much Josh thank you for this video. Sorry for the rambling!

I'm always here for you. I know I always say you're perfect, but I know that nobody is actually perfect. People make mistakes and get hurt and angry and happy and that called being a human. You're allowed to do that stuff. I'll always stick with you josh. You may not be perfect, but you're so fucking wonderful, especially to me. I love you more than you know josh. I will always always love and be there for you. Keep strivin'. Find your happiness❤️
- Sarah Simons: Love you Josh! ❤️
- Blondie B: I went through a divorce in 2008. It was incredibly difficult for me and my 8 year old son at the time, helping him through it and being the best parent I could be. But it gets better with time, trust me it does. I am a better version of myself now going through that experience. Hang in there Josh. Sending positive vibes your way. Please continue to talk about your feelings to friends and possibly a professional counselor. Sometimes it's very hard to find the right one, but it does help. Thank you for making this video and opening up like this, I can't imagine having so many critiquing my words and actions. You are going to get through this difficult time in your life knowing your true self so much better. I know I made a lot of mistakes and could have done a lot differently in the past but we all learn from our mistakes and experiences, well hopefully we do...
- Zoe Blue: why can't someone share their faith without being dogged on? What about tolerance that everyone preaches about? This comment shouldn't affect you that much so relax
- J Whitehead: love this.
- Strecos: Oh dear. Poor thing.
- Christine Canfield: i unsubbed way before the divorce when the thumbnails got super clickbaity and the content was forced. THIS.... this video was a breath of fresh. run with it.

- Finola: hailey s v. It nbotch
- TatjanadeGraaf: to come back on what you said about unsubscribing ... well i only unsubscribe when i think this person is not complete honest or how im starting to get annoying by the video's they post not because someone is honest i really like it when people are honest :)

- Ava Louise Loves you your beautiful: Oh I love you josh ❤️
- JohnLikesThings: As a proud YouTube viewer for over 6 years I can honestly say that this is one of the most influential and important videos on this website.
- Kasi Casillas: I love the honesty in this video. I'm trying to be more authentic too. My video on Wed is about being authentic and I'm nervous about it, but your video gives me more ease of mind. Thanks for being real x
- Kareena Holloway: YAY Josh. Supporting your authenticity 100%!!!!!!
- Kendall Doty: great video!!! bravo
- Darby Sandrock: Great Speech Josh!! I feel the same way! I used to be like that, but now... You have changed my life!!!
- UnstoppableHD: Wow posted on my birthday !
- Kathy V M: Are you not okay as in not happy with the life you have right now or not okay as in not okay because you're struggeling with this issue of being authentic? Just wondering. Love the honesty in this video.
- Mary Shoemaker: This is really refreshing to see someone be completely honest on YouTube!!!!
- Tory Z: You're not the "most real" you are just familiar and that may be what you're used to being. But I know what you mean.
- WarriorPrncss: Awww... Josh is the greatest. I feel like we'd be great friends. You need someone who loves you as much as you love them. I really wish you the best.
- Haley Elise: I kept waiting for My Chemical Romance to start playing.
- Saima Nayen: I miss your beard.. I wish u didn't listen to all that hate comment about your beard
- Aimee Music: Love the idea. Love you Josh. <3
- Ann-Marie: YES I agree with everything you said in this video!! I've noticed that there are some Youtubers I've been subscribed to for years who don't always seem to be truly "authentic" in every video they put out and sometimes it feels fake or forced. I look forward to your new content, especially seeing more of your videos now that you will be posting a little bit more again. I as well as many of your subscribers will support you 100% in this journey to be a more authentic version of yourself on camera!! 💕
- maddie k: Sorry, this is off-topic but love the hair
- tiffanysd925: Good for you JOSH!!!! Time heals everything for everyone
- Rachel Browning: I love this. The media projects this perfect life and I feel like YouTube is an insight on real life. Thank you for being you and humanizing YouTube a little bit more.
- Miriam Skebo: You just being honest does change the world 🌎❤️
- Safa Abouradi: It takes courage to actually say "no I'm not okay" so that's a great step💕
- Krissy: I love this. Keep these up josh! ♥
- Alekya Attanti: no no no it makes so much sense but i love how you never once said that it was easy. if it was easy everyone would do it
- elimommy5311: I'm so glad your going to be more real and showing the real you... here this time I thought you felt better but didn't get how so quick glad to know your not doing ok (not that I want you to be not ok but it's good to know your not going to be hiding it) you need to do things to make you happy it will help your long road of healing... I look forward to this change :)
- Maelah Janelle: inspiring, i love you, take care Josh
- Grace Elizabeth: I am mostly a silent viewer, but I had to say something. You are so brave and confident, it's actually so inspiring and I know you'll never see this but oh well. Stay happy everyone and have a nice day x
- Valerie Corpus: This video is so inspiring. I love how far you've come. YOU're why I subscribed so long ago, and this YOU is why I'm still here. Lots of love and support
- Brandi Reeves: I feel you on this. I used to spend so much time and effort trying to make other people happy that I later realized it was making me unhappy because it's impossible to make everyone happy. There's a saying that I love that's been famously misquoted as being from Dr. Suess (it's originally from some guy I can't remember his name right now), but it says "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Thank you for wanting to be real and authentic. I promise people will like that about you more than anything you can pretend to be. And if you lose subscribers because of it, I promise they aren't the ones you want and they'd probably leave for some other reason later anyway. Once again, thank you for being you!
- Makeupbystephv: Thank you for being so honest and being a wonderful role model. You will be ok xx
- Valerie Freeman: Your authenticity is very rare. You're really genuine and Colleen was merely a lesson on how you deserve someone who is just as authentic and genuine as you are. You got this! Be Empowered and Empower others!! 💙
- Kimberly Norman: I have always loved your transparency and authenticity. Regardless of what people say or think, stay true to who you are, even when you change and grow. None of us are the same people we were a year ago, 2 years ago and so and so forth. And that's not a bad thing. Embrace this new side of you. I think this is a great idea and am looking forward to it! You're always in my thoughts and prayers! Much love ❤
- Chloe Calloway: I feel like this is the Joshua David Evans we've all been waiting for ❤ I can't speak for everyone, but I know I will back you up 100% of the way. I love you ❤ keep going and I can't wait for more
- brandy Lee: Hi Josh, it's really hard to come out and just be real and not fake stuff cuz people don't really know who we are except sum close family and friends.also I hate having to take smile to those people around me.i accepted who I am and I agree with you.you have be happy and positive in your self before anything else.I went through the same thing and it's not gud feeling.I said to my self if I can't be honest with my feelings it's not guna work.I want to have positive happy out look on life, there's guna be gud days and bad days .i realized nothing perfect.just got li e in the moment day by day.huggzz my freind from canada.this is a great video thank you for sharing much luv from canada😍
- Kyra Erasmi: I think it just happens everywhere; online, in real life wherever. People just pretend to be happy but they're not whether it's with their friends or anyone really. Nowadays, people can't face others if something is bothering them and it's pretty unfortunate.
- Bree M: can i pretty please with a cherry on top be on your snapchat please? 💖
- Sorceressofstars: u do you💕💜❤️💕💙💚💕
- sabrina: SAME. SAME. SAME. EVAN AS WELL. AND JON COZART. if he would post more.
- Karina Salweski: holy shit!!!!!! Josh!!! you're back!!!!! I can not wait to see what you put up :))) I'm so proud of you and how strong you are being. please know you have at least one person excited for you and will be a fan :)))))
- Tina Jacobson: I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I like you more now than I ever did. You and your content have changed so much in the past few months. It's raw and real and genuine, I'm proud of you becoming your own person, not what you think we think you are 😊
- bitterblues: thank you
- MC lamb butterfly 2nd: Alyssa Andersen nope
- Sarah Jo: THIS VIDEO IS SO IMPORTANT
- Rachel Mateya: I love you Josh. Be authentically you ❤ That's who I'm here for. Keep staying strong (or being weak) whatever you're truly feeling. I project who I think I should be constantly and you're right it does not bring happiness so I'm excited for the next chapter in my life and your channel ❤ xoxo
- Rachel Larson: PLEASE READ THIS! Psalm 103:2-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise. Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. Isaiah 58:8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Dear lord Jesus, pick me up and hold me in your loving arms. Protect me from the pressures of the day, and remove the heaviness from my heart. Inspire me with knowledge that You and I can handle anything together. Amen. Josh, I have been praying for you ever since this hard time, and I will continue to pray for you. I hope that you may know that, even though we all struggle and have hard times in our lives, God is with us, so that we can never fear what may lie ahead. Love you, Josh, and I am glad you were able to be honest. :) Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
- Keira Locklin: I know that you have been here tough a lot lately and I just wanted you to know that you have so many people that love you in your life. So just keep on moving . My school counselor tells me that you have to have bad things in life to be able to appreciate the good things in life. Just remember, we all live 've you Josh. We love you.
- Da Moley: Looking forward to the new format. Love JDE xx
- Nancy Ramirez: You make me happy 😊
- Lena Schneider: Thats awesome Josh! I saw you faking it many times and I think many other people felt it too and its not enjoyable to see somebody doing that :( I'm so happy for you that you came to that awesome conclusion and I hope you'll be feeling better being yourself in front of the camera. I'm looking forward to see the new footage since I nearly unsubscribed because your content was partly very unauthentic and "staged". Just be yourself Josh. I hope so much that you'll be happy then :)
- Jocelyn Arends: Yo, this was awesome. You totally get it. Good for you.
- Jana Krystyna: Mara marA
- juwayriyah101: u r the best youtuber I know and don't let anyone say your not because truely u r
- Hannah Beth: Time for you to figure you out. "Just Be", Joshua ❤
- Summer Gill: Thank you for this.
- Aash Vlogs: I love you josh😢 just take care 💕
- Ali Furnari: Josh I'm stuck like you were. can you help???
- Cinzia DuBois: I've never grown on YouTube and I think it's because I've always been ridiculously myself; I've never been able to put in an act or say cliche things and my personality appeals to a very limited group of people; but I have loved being on YouTube all these years more than I think people with fame and popularity because all my content is utterly my own and never contrived. I cannot wait to see more videos like this, I honestly think this is my favourite videos of yours.
- Marissa Lyelle: thank you❤️ the universe needed this video! i am so thankful that you are someone i look up to💛 i love you so much and am so happy that you are just being you💕
- Mel Crofskey: your new hairstyle? woo hoo!? you rock that new hairdo
- monaxac: puppet
- basicallyagdolls: this was so true and genuine. love you Josh! also, your hair is on point.
- zavion williams: shut up Josh.....pewdiepie said this first
- ariseira: Dude, I have really only ever watched your more authentic videos... The vlogs, the Q&As, etc.; I could care less about the challenges and stuff. I think you will likely gain a more loyal and consistent audience with this change. I'm glad you are making this transition for your well-being but I won't mind watching the new videos either :)
- Christina Long: Honestly I don't understand why you are expected to be perfect or to always show your authentic feelings. somethings arent everyone's business and people need to respect that instea of being stupid heads
- Karissa Nichole: I loved this. :)) Thank you for bring honest.
- Yew_Chewb: urgh! this is a cringeworthy monologue and i actually like the guy! u want to be real!? then be real this was like a bad audition for a lifetime movie!
- Ally Terese: and her friend Carrie Hope Fletcher!
- BrendaIsabel: This hyped me up so much. I liked this ramble
- fiona: we all love you Josh!
- Yesenia Garcia: ok too too far with the scandal and the one child no one knew about.
- DustyS._SFX: +JoshuaDTV thank you so much for making this video. It really did speak to me and made me realize so much. I seriously needed this talk in my life at this moment.
- Kelsie Lane: Thank you so much for this Josh! i have come to realize that the content I have been watching recently is not what needs to be shown. People use YouTube as a platform for things that I am shocked gets views. Personally I like when people are honest and YouTubers show their true selves. We as an audience can see a situation that you have gone through, well, as much as you show of it, and we can learn and grow from it.
- Meghann Cleary: Good for you josh! The internet needs way more people like you. Thank you for being someone so many ppl can look up up and find inspiration in.
- homiklo: The internet needs more people like this
- |NinjaCakes|: I know you don't need to explain yourself to no one, but it's really cool that you're being honest about this. Not many youtubers would do this, there are so many that go through break-ups and don't admit their not ok
- WhoWantsToKnow: Thank you...
- Jacob Sartorious: We believe you Josh We love you We are there for You Just like you are to us love, The Joshua David Evans Fandom
- Jasmine Morales: You are just simply amazing!
- Lexie C: We're all here for you.
- Lori Brown: ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ "I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more. Being who you really are is more important than being what someone thinks you should be. losing yourself to please others is the worst thing that can happen because not only is the world not getting to see how great you are but you start to believe that version of yourself is who you need to be to have friends to be loved but that's not true. Real friends and people who truly love someone wouldn't want you to hide from the light. They would want you to shine brighter than the light and show the real you inside and out. I can't wait to see you shine again and live your life to fullest. happiness is key but some times that key doesn't always fit.
- Mia: Honestly, I always thought he was focusing on the money... All those click baits and so much stress about how many subscribers he had. Maybe because he felt he wasn't making enough cash in comparison to You-Know-Who or whatever, who knows. Hopefully content changes now.
- Rosie: its disappointing that people are making jokes about how early they are when Josh's video title alone clearly shows that this is serious. who cares if you're early. listen to what he has to say before you comment just to get a bunch of likes about being so early with some dumb joke. Josh- i enjoyed hearing that you think people should be more authentic including yourself. I think everyone gets to a point where they just really need to be honest
- Purple Bookworm: This makes me so happy. I always think how real are YouTubers? Like I will never know how real they are. I'm just want you to be happy, Josh. I feel as if you are one of those YouTubers who are genuine.
- Shrek 555: love you josh, we all do and real dingleberries will 4ever carry on being strong
- 23Shelbye: I'm actually subscribing to you now because I think a little dose of "real" is exactly what you needed on your channel. Good for you- I'm happy that you're bringing about changes that you'll find positivity in. It's in the dark that we're able to clearly see the direction of light.
- Joyce 98: On a positive note your hair looks great!
- Valerie Corpus: Josh I love you
- M Shann: Some weird way the jim Carry mask movie had some depth to it
- Emilie Chesler: Thank you for your honesty and dedication to yourself and this community! I look forward to this new content!
- Samantha Benfield: Ugh, this is just great! I'm so proud of you Joshua!
- E R: you definitely look and sound real . more natural and not trying too hard. like you said just be.
- Chewy V: I thought this was going to be his coming out video
- Bella Woodrow: this is amazing josh!!!
- adel altourah: #NotificationSquad where you at?❤🙌🏻
- Miley Slays: I don't care if you change your always going to be yourself not someone you don't want to be I'm proud of you Joshua
- Grace Taps!: i love you Josh. you are truly amazing. NO OTHER YOUTUBER WOULD DO THIS!!!
- Brooke Cramer: did anyone else hear a dog bark
- ITSMENIKKl: If ya wanna see 100% authenticity on YouTube watch MyToeCold (Drew Monson). He quit YouTube but I still watch his old videos bc they help me and I relate to them 100%
- Brooke Gaylor: I'm actually really excited about this. It's going to be a breath of fresh air to watch real people being real. Rather than watching people who look like their lives are perfect and wondering why mine isn't.
- 8ay8ee: Josh, this is exactly why I loved watching your vlogs so much. I felt connected to you as a real person. I loved how you shared everything with us, good and bad. I would love to watch your vlogs again. Nobody expects to see only (faked) sunshine and happiness. Just be you. We would listen to problems, you'd like to share with us, just like a friend would do. If you are okay with it, we are ready to be a part of your world again. <3 xoxo
- Georgia Speer-Remes: Well said. So proud.
- Lexi Marie: I agree with you Josh. I just don't get why people immediately think that people are saying stuff for popularity. I makes me so mad that people think that. I totally agree.
- McKenzie Wilsmann: This is an amazing message josh, thank you
- NANZ AND AZZ: Be honest with yourself Josh, we'll love you no matter what!... also, you look hot :)
- Hannah Noel: You go Josh!! We love you so much!
- Trina Lamoureux: good job
- Jaclyn Regina: love you so much josh!! life is crazy but we can all help each other get through the difficult times! i love the meaning behind this i'm so glad you made this video
- Amy Rohr: This is by far one of the most inspirational videos I've seen in a loooooong time. Josh, saying "Just be" is so powerful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
- Rybo510: Those are videos I want to see. It has come to light that a big youtubers life isn't perfect. It was a sad situation but it goes to show that they have made mistakes. I know I have no room to judge others. Glass houses. GREAT vid Josh!
- Grace Wright: I also think your content is reaching a now older demographic so I believe you'll start seeing changes in your audience, which is fantastic. I literally can't stand any more story time videos about idiot uber drivers anymore. I like the heart felt, honest content - the real Joshua content :)
- Lene Kristin: Good for you, Josh!! I can only speak for my self, but I really appreciate honesty and no BS. Noe one goes through life without ups and dows, and those who think youtubers are on a constant happy cloud need to think again. I would really appreciate if more did like you say here, but I totally respect those who don't also. But I am looking forward to this new chapter. You rock!!
- Nick Dc: i like that he didn't is better this way
- Molly Grace: love you snap me
- Brittany Giebelhaus: Looking forward to you doing this with Julien because I think that will be very good. 💚
- ShrewdREAPER: you need to turn to Jesus he can help you with everything you're struggling with trust in him and everything will be fine turn from your sins and turn to him
- Grace Harris: You do that Josh! You are awesome!
- Sydney Burkhardt: I love u josh and people should like you for you because no one is perfect.
- Dani W: This wasn't in my subscription box and I'm so sad about it because it's so important. Everyone needs to realize this. Being fake breaks people.
- ChristineSprings: you're cool
- Summer Song: ❤️
- Crazy K Butler: Hugs for you, Josh!

- Kel Preston: I can relate to this!!!! fantastic video man!
- Denisse Barria: You are loved by many. Excited for Josh 2.0
- Reece Lapinsky: JOSH I LOVE YOU, you are such an amazing person. You go through things truly but you don't try to make others feel bad for you, I feel bad for you but it's because I care. I don't know the backstory to the divorce and I wish I could help, I won't mention her name but it hurt me to when this whole thing happend. My best friend called me crying because we loved y'all together I wanted to have your relationship from what I saw it as in the YouTube world but I realized things don't always work out but when one door closes another opens and I truly believe God has a great plan for your life. I don't know your beliefs but god has got your back. I want you to know I watched both you and her videos that day and BALLED, but I also prayed that both of your lives would be blessed even when you aren't together. I know you won't respond to this but I love and care for you. thanks goodbye💖 ps this might not be the best because I'm eleven😂😂
- maddie ehat: I love you josh
- Darcy McVicar: Thank you.
- TJ G-C: I sincerely LOVED this video. Why? I feel EXACTLY the way you do! May the Lord guide us to be a better version of ourselves each and everyday.
- Judah Thomason: YAS JOSH!!! So awesome.

- Laura Tuller: This is a breath of fresh air, Josh! Thank you! :)
- Naticia Miller: <3 <3 <3
- Μελίνα π: yes yes yes this is what I always want from YouTubers. I just see so many challenges and trends and favourites and I know these videos are fun to film and I get it they are kind of fun to watch. but honestly lately I've unsubed to so many people because I just don't concent with that anymore. it's just not for me. and this is exactly what I wanted. honesty. topics that need to be discussed. mental health , politics , friendships, religion. get these conversations going.
- Arunish Paul: I like it
- sponge pap: last time i was this early, youtube red didnt exist
- j jj: i dont want to be on the snapchat
- Mirrin Christie: Is it just me or have they got less happy after the divorce? No hate against anyone :)
- Chet Parker: That was a good video
- Tricia L: As an adult, i appreciate genuineness. So good on ya
- Emily Dressler: ❤keep your chin up
- Stephanie Milbocker: To just "be" and be authentic is the best thing we can do. Stay awesome, Josh. <3
- Jennifer Jane: I LOVE your hair natural like this.
- KandAs life: Let's support both of them instead of picking sides! If you were a loyal fan of them you would support both of them because that's what they both want! 💜💜💜💜
- Denise Celis: hey how are you
- Elizabeth R.: This video omgerd. Preach it Joshua. 👌
- Nathaly Blas: I agree with him 100%
- Jillian H: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH JOSH!!!! CAN I PLEASE BE ON YOUR SNAP!!!???💜❤️💜❤️💜
- ShinyNyancat: Hi Josh what's your hairstyle it looks really nice you should keep it! Btw my advice is to just let everything go and have fun, our time is limited and should not be waisted on non sense! Enjoy life and have faith in God! Godbless you Josh!😘
- Anyssa Mills: sayin hayyyy to the SNAP beauty and the beast ad was before your video btw LOV YAAA
- Jen Jensen: I would NEVER unsubscribe. Your amazing and you should be who your are. Stay true. Stay strong. Be nice to people. Smile More. 💚💛
- Ruth Adeleke: I'll start, your videos make me smile even before I watch them
- Siobhan Allan: Stay strong Josh.. you are an amazing person.. i have always enjoyed watching you... keep making the great content.
- Rebecca Siminoski: Josh, the media loves to drag You-Tubers down, and spread stories without really knowing the whole truth. I'm glad your trying to change things for the better. I hate when You-Tubers apologize for showing emotion. People tend to forget that You-Tubers are humans too, & they have things happen just like the rest of us. You can't go through life without having ups and downs. Its how you learn & grow! I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next for you! I hope as time goes on, things get better.
- esther alvarez: 🙌🏽👌🏽 Wow. Just wow.
- Cherie Yeung: Hey Josh, thank you for this. I've always believed strongly about being authentic and not playing games with yourself (much less others) but I really needed to hear that again today. Thank you for the reset. If it helps, this is a bit of advice I heard recently that I'm going to take with me from this day forward: we all create a timeline for ourselves--be married here, have kids there, be content here. And then we live along this timeline like a manual, or rule book of some sort. But its good to once in awhile reevaluate the timeline. It was, after all, set by our own imperfect mind. Maybe some things aren't realistic anymore. Maybe some you won't even really want some of those things anymore. And if you went on thinking that those are still for you and are chasing after it, you won't be happy, because it's the wrong timeline for you. You have become a different person wanting something different. Reevaluating the timeline can save a lot of wasted time following the wrong manual. Don't know if that helps, but I hope you become increasingly okay with being not okay. Because that's okay. All the love and prayers.
- Magghie Louise: I LOVE how enthusiastic and genuine you are in this video! I've never watched a YouTuber and thought 'I feel close to this person'/'I understand this person' but I really do feel this way with you, especially recently with how much you've been living life to the fullest.
- Kinion Sober: 💜💙💚💛💟❤
- Bron: Omg. First time either of them say the word 'divorce' in the past 6 months since the video. Wow.
- Shelby Cooper: Honestly thankyou so much for this ❤❤
- jjuni: ❤️❤️❤️
- Briley Blue Eyes: <3 love you Josh!
- Vina Mistry: emotions are healthy, to feel is healthy, never apologise for that. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
- Slay all day: Not gonna lie… your hair is looking really nice!!! The way it swoops and flows is very nice 👍🏻
- Hay Mass: I love this video. you are speaking the truth. be you bc you are enough. proud of you!!!
- Lin-Manuel Shibe: For all the haters and dicks that disliked this video I have something to say to you....... FUCK YOU, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT JOSH GOES THREW!!!! SO YOU CAN GO THE FUCK AWAY OR LIKE THE VIDEO AND WATCH!!! like if you agree :p ps. Everyone is perfect in there own way... but no one is perfect in another persons eyes..
- Madaline Wienser: This is great Josh! Proud of you ❤
- Ashlee Cuevas: I feel like u have always tried to be honest about how you are feeling...we don't know the small details and such, but for the most part, we see how you are feeling. I know there are times you feel you need to put on a brace face and act like things are better than they really are, but don't we all?! I love this video and your honesty and look forward to what's to come from you. Thank you for being you❤
- Danilo Castro: I wish video responses were still a thing. I want to make one.
- Jalyn Michelle: Snapchat fam is hereeeee
- Tryinglittleleg: Josh the thrush is out there da daaa da daaaaaaa daaaaaa daaaaa daaaaaaaaaaaa
- heyitsautumn19: This was such an amazing video. I have so much respect for you.
- Lord & Lady of Winterfell: I see these issues with a lot of youtubers reecently, Felix got through almost the same and I think is the moment when you have to realize that we are humans too, we like to know what happens when you guys feel sad, if you feel anxious, not for for a morbid needed but is it due to how relate we feel with you. Some people may not like to see this sort of content because they might be looking for something satisfying to see and that is ok too. Don't mind about the target viewers for a while, I do really care about you JOSHUA EVANS to be okay, even if you post videos per week, per year, I don't care, you have no idea how much you taught me and how helpful your videos were when I was depressed and alone. I bet many people like me had the same experience, watching a content made by you for us to be happy and it's the moment to let you be happy again, to help you get through this as long as we can. I love you so much, you'll see something good is waiting at the corner. You are such a beautiful soul who deserves much respect, happiness. God bless you, Josh. I send my love from México.
- Nicole G: Ok, I know we are being serious in the video but damn you're hot
- Kyleigh McSherry: proud of you 😊
- arleena lamb: I will like you and watch your videos over and over if a haven't already once (witch I probaly have😂)I will get you 100% we think we know someone but deeply all the truth is no you don't. I will like you no matter what happens in your life.Plus I WILL STILL WATCH YOU IF YOUR 100😀Love-A girl from Newzealand living in a small town.💕
- Ciara Duggan: Thank you Joshua, your honesty and humanity made my day! :-)
- Dakota Cramer: This is great. You came to the realization that you need to be yourself and I love you. You just helped me so much and you do not even know it. I have been trying to make everyone else happy but know I realized that I need to be me.
- One Two: yaaaass ♡♡
- RKEPorter: I used to watch your videos all the time but they became very noticeably fake and forced..this is the first I've enjoyed and connected with in over a year, I'm subscribing once again. Good luck with this positive change x
- Mara: orevwA?
- HayleyDaily: besides the fact, the eyes on ya 😍😍😍
- Lauren Davey: This video is lit. And not in the new trendy way 'cool way'. In the this is F-ing awesome and I love it so much and it makes me so happy because it's so real.....just lit. Nothing makes me more proud than genuine people on the internet. This is what Youtube is about. Lit.
- abstractswirls: I love authenticity. you have grounded yourself so much and I think everyone needs to find that core in themselves that helps them evolve and awaken to their emotions. stay real and true. I believe everyone should, especially on the internet. yes, just be :)
- PerennialPizza: "Just. Be." This touched me so much. Literally just two words with huge meanings.
- Kimberly DeLong: I love you Josh!!🎈🎈🎈
- squishies.slime.101: I LOVE YOU JOSH
- Dani Lauren_xx: First
- super syira: be happy josh.. do what u love and whats makes you happy.. *virtual hug*
- Mary Piedrahita: This is a really inspiring video and words
- TheDailyCupcake: Yesss yesss and yess!! LOVE this! So much love to you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- Bethany St. Thomas: I love this video. Thank you
- Katie Maurer: It's okay to not be okay. No one is going to be okay ALL of the time. Thank you for being real with us. I look forward to the content that you will put out in the future.
- Rhys Maidlow: @JoshDTV
- Mara: this is important. Thanks for your honesty.❤
- Kiersten Marie: It would make me happier if you started to be you. Everytime you post a video I can tell you're still hurting.
- Bobbi Torgerson: Very well said much love to u ❤️💞
- Curtis Griffin: Josh, can we be friends? (That was a serious question)
- Syd Foster: I love this ❤
- Lynette Bibeau: It's blatantly obviously when YouTuber's are only posting content that will garner views and branching out in different ways to make them the most money, vs. YouTuber's posting videos with the goal of inspiring their viewers and that have an actual passion for YouTube, creating quality videos and sharing their lives- and that's how Josh has always been, from the beginning. SO refreshing. Love you always Josh!
- Faith H: Josh you encourage all of your viewers immensely. We are so proud of you for choosing to be yourself online, and I think it will be great for you and your channel. We will always be here to love and support you. ❤️
- Amanda Blahey: YES! All of this, more of this. I always felt like under "that" Josh was someone who just wanted to be truthful, raw, emotional and vulnerable, but also strong, smart and opinionated. I say Do It. The world needs more real <3
- Kinion Sober: you gotta love yourself before others can love you.
- Madi Linds: This helped me, Josh. I love you.
- CheonHoPark: She almost destroyed him. She don't seem to be suffering as much. Some Scorpios are fine cutting you off ice cold and burn your ashes as if you never existed. Starts so hot. Cannot handle the heat and you get the stinging cold. Ouch. It is okay man. You will eventually find the right one where they do not expect you to destroy yourself. Try not to think too much. As generic it sounds you do eventually find other fishes in the sea. But you will certainly remember this one. You seem like a good guy. That positive nature can only attract others.
- Stevie Hart: and I love this, even though I'm not on YouTube this is inspiring. I want to show my Real self. Not who I want to be. someday I'll get there, but in the meantime I want people to love me and accept me for who I am right now. Thank you Josh!
- your favorite: I love the new hair cut 😁I hope you are okay and lastly I love you and I will be a dingle berry for life
- Kate Stringham: I loved this video. Thank you so much for the honesty that you are devoted to and the desire that you have to be real with your youtube family. I have admired you so much in the past year and this video just contributed to that admiration. Thank you Josh for being someone we can be proud of.
- Karlie Walling: Joooooooosh! I am so proud of you!! I can't wait to watch the authenticity unfold, I love you!
- Simone's School Of Dance: Love you!!!!
- Naim Hastings: Let me tell you, if someone "unsubscribes" or doesn't like you for being yourself and showing us the real you. No matter who that person is. You don't need them in your life or watching your videos. Period. The real once will stay, and other people WILL notice how real and true you're being and they'll come too. Because God will GIFT you struggles in your life, to test you, test your limits and see how you're dealing with them. But always remember that he (God) is love, and will never let you be sad or miserable so it's only a matter of time before you can become a better version of yourself. I love you and I'm sure many people do too. 💚
- Unpolished: If u ever want someone to talk to, ill be there for ya! someone across the U.S that isnt i your bubble could be fun to talk to. make a friend, and talk about things. But i know that wont happen. But im here for ya!
- No Im Nikki: It's funny, I was just thinking yesterday. So, I agree.
- Christina Angel: I'm all for rawness; I know so many people I've been watching for years lose versions of themselves that they originally loved because everyone thinks being happy or just sad is relatable but YouTubers are still people living life with problems and if we want to know our favorite people let them be themselves without all the fakeness and welcome it with open arms
- Caitlin Diprose: I love you Josh!!!!
- Julia Clough: this is so incredible. thank you for this.
- Natalia RSM: I think other you tubers should do this so we know what they r really like what they really act like it would be cool to see another person and get to know them for who they really r instead of someone who may act different on camera and act like a different person off camera!!!!! I love u josh btw
- JC Flagg: Nice Bro, You are truly an inspiration
- Joyce 98: On a positive note your hair looks great!
- ThatGirlLucy _: It seriously hurt me when people say that you're divorce was fake that is so dumb why would a genuine heart brake be fake. It Erks me from both sides of the story that people are saying that it is fake because who would be that thirsty for views that they would do that i love both of you guys and I know your situation really sucks because my parents got divorced so hearing this made me actually cry
- Miranda Stowell: This actually gained my subscription.❤ You are awesome Josh and I'm happy I found a YouTube who WANTS to be real and let emotions run free like they should be. Can't wait for the new content! :-) This inspires me to do YouTube the right way!❤
- Jewel: i'm looking forward for the content to come. I think it's so awesome that Josh is decided to be more authentic because he's such a big youtuber and i think he can really make a difference in the YouTube community.
- Robert Shaw: your positivity and level of caring for others has always been what's drawn me to you, even when things aren't great your outlook and what you take away from these situations is an inspiration and something i think the world really needs. Josh you're amazing and strong in all the right ways, having the strength to accept and show vulnerability and to be a nurturing male presence is something a lot more men need to find within themselves and to find acceptable.
- The Patels: "Just be yourself" is the key to being successful in any phase of your life. A lot of people do not have the courage to put their life out as an open book, hence they are only interested in putting you down for something they are afraid to do. Remember there will be more haters than supporters. I always tread haters as motivation, the more they hate the more I get pumped to take myself to next level. Stay focus, be honest and just be yourself. Be happy and success will come to you.
- Myra L: HIS CHANNEL IS BEING HACKED!!!!!😱😱😱 how dare u hack Josh's videos
- elaine keryakes: Hey josh, I've been a fan for years and I loved your vids. But lately I've avoided your videos because I could see you trying to be happy, but not being true to what you were feeling. Only because it looked like how I try to be at work or in front of people during shitty situations going on in my personal life. But this vid really resonates with me and I love this version of Josh. Its a great idea to just sit around with close friends and talk about anything and everything, and simply being honest. Just be you, and what others think is if no consequence to you. Thanks for this Joshua❤
- Jade Carney: Josh the thing I love most about you is that you are real you are the guy that everybody knows. And for you to try to make a change is the best thing I've seen on the internet in a while. I love you so frickin much. You are my role model. Forever and always a dingleberry. #BeNiceToPeople
- valerieannsmiles: ❤️❤️
- Natalie carvajal: I'm not okay ( I promise )
- louzoe: I really like this. Some authenticity is the best thing that can happen to this platform - social media in general - and I honestly hope you will inspire others to follow!
- Grace Marino: Morgan Osman this comment is the best lol
- Aneles S: Josh, you honestly deserve the world, you may not be okay right now but things do get better, trust me. my mom went through a terrible divorce and although it seemed like the end of the world, she got through it. there is light at the end of the tunnel. all of us who love you are here for you always.
- Jessa T124: Good for you 😊
- Mayukha Bommaraju: Go ahead and show us yourself Joshua. We love you.
- doobiecfoogle: Thank you!!!
- Jesse Geluz: Good for you man, keep it up! #PositiveOutcomesonly
- Kim: I can't wait to see where this journey takes you!!! I am proud of you!!! I am glad to be along for the ride!
- Zoe Nieves: I don't think you could've posted this at a better time. You talking about being authentic and being able to feel and not be fake is what I needed at this moment. And for that, I thank you❤
- Aspen Sage: BosnaPaki well there was a video where Issa was talking about you cant always be happy, or pretend to be. He said you won't ever really feel. And that's why he quit YouTube.
- Angela Martinez: I have a feeling I'll love exactly who you are ! ❤️
- Vanessa Benlolo: This is amazing! Keep it coming. All of it-the sad, the happy, the angry, the funny. All of it!
- Maria Katrina: Collens video are a little too happy. Like multiple times in her vlogs, she says ive never been happier in my entire life, im so happy. But that doesnt seem right or genuine at all. The woman just went through a divorce with the most perfect man there ever will be. But anyway Josh Im glad you have decided that this is your next move, its really great!
- Lacey: Josh, this is my favourite video you have ever posted. I think being genuine is what we all really want, & when people are genuine, it resonates more deeply and creates better, more constructive conversations. I don't know you. but you seemed a bit nervous to post this and I want to say I think you're doing something so wonderful and innovative and I'm happy for you that you've come to understand yourself and the image you want to put out there. You talked about being afraid people wouldn't like you, I can appreciate that fear like I'm sure most people can. Things can appear to be so different than how they actually are for the person living in them. Putting your life on the internet certainly leads to people pushing boundaries and feeling a false entitlement to know every detail and seek to police your decisions they don't agree with. but I think your idea is so valuable and different from what the community in general has been doing lately. I'm excited to see more and I'm wishing you all the best. I believe this new route will help to forge a new relationship with your viewers and bring to them an array of refreshing experiences and ideas, coming from a human being. 💜
- Terhi Lehtosaari: Alexandria you have a point but i feel like it wasnt only money that did this. If i did youtube, i dont think money would matter, but what people would think of me. Its so easy to not be you because when the haters come it wouldnt affect you as bad since you know you're not what you put out there, issa/twaimz for example. And as for shaycarl he probably had way more personal problems and i dont think money changed him. It's just that no one wants to put their negative sides out there. But after all, i dont think money has a major part in this for most youtubers but definitely it has changed some people
- Melinda Sabrini: early
- iamivanseriously: Thank you for making this video. Just, thank you. 🙂
- Morgan Clarke: Is it just me or is josh gay ? Just wondering ?
- GallatinGirl13: I am so excited to see what this new format does for you Josh. I think you hit the nail on the head with your self-reflection, and I look forward to seeing more of your authentic self. Even though you feel like you've projected an untrue version of yourself I feel like there may have been bits of truth within that persona and I am interested to see which come through in these videos. Thank you for sharing your truth 💜
- UltimateSoundWave: One of my favorite videos of all time - so cool to hear something so real!
- Joy Mazahreh: This is just great! I have waited for this video for way too long. youtube really needs reality. can't wait to watch your new content! Tons of thanks💜
- Heather O'Day: So interesting that this topic of authenticity is bubbling up all over the internet and all over real life lately. This weekend I attended a seminar about giving yourself PERMISSION. In this video I believe Josh is giving himself permission to be vulnerable and authentic- My greatest hope for all of us #dingleberry fam and #dinkfam is that we all continue to be brave, stand in our truths and surround each other with positive energy. If we are gentle with ourselves first, then we can be gentle with others. I love all you guys, thanks fam for reading if you got this far.
- pandalover 101: where hear for you josh. ♥
- Sehaj Kaur: I love how this video does not end with 'auroir' keep it real. I support you.
- Techno Girl: THANK GODDD you shaved dude.
- Chris Fernandez: Oh mannn you're really going through it.... do whatever you gotta do to let it out!
- Falseil: This makes me so happy for him
- Sammy Ann: I love this and the real you!
- Rachel Landry Saunier: Thanks for always being so real and honest Josh. It's so important to show your younger audience that it's okay to go through tough times, it's okay to be sad sometimes, and it's okay to take time to process your emotions after going through something really difficult. Sending a lot of love and prayers to you, as always.
- Megan Kicks: Joshua I love you so much! You have helped me get over the toughest heartbreak I have been through. It feels like I'm riding this wave with you!
- Belinda Paradies: Hey you! Yes you! This video. I liked that shit! (The word shit being used In a colloquial way. Obviously this video was refreshing, interesting and just plain top notch.) You there sir, have my attention!
- Adeja Aquin: I understand you
- Sam Bayliff: Josh, I actually like this you better. I am not a fan of the challenges and the overhyped videos. I like the real josh. Be you boo. Show all emotions and ideas you feel like. And don't be afraid to show us more Shadow
- Madi Rose: What's going on in my life, who I am? I am an 18 year old who has been chronically ill since I was 11 years old. It has completely changed my life and I feel like I can never talk about it. When I was in school and I would say something about it students would say I was exaggerating it for attention or that I didn't look sick so I must be fine. I just want to be able to talk about the thing that has effected my life for so many years.
- Heidi DiPersio: Something that I've always loved about YouTube is that you aren't watching characters on your screen. Like you said, it's all real people, and real people feel real emotions and go through real changes in their lives. When I'm watching TV, I expect my favorite characters to be the same week after week, but this isn't TV. We watch YouTube because we want to really connect with creators, and as the platform has gained popularity, I think that that connection has really gone to the back burner as people, like you say, "project an image." I really, truly appreciate that you're calling an end to it. I'm so excited to see YOU. (:
- Ella Xoxo: Paige Usherwood yes same! And Jake Mitchell if u know who that is
- Christine Abreo: this video Is golden. I wish I had a friend to open up to.
- rockygirl: Holy shit, this is really, truly insightful. I'm studying Taoism in a class right now and this is one of the principles they prescribe. The way you word it is spot on, too. You can really tell that you've stumbled upon this concept through trial and error. It makes you wise.
- KGrish: Us dingleburries are hanging in there with ya... ha get it..... 🙌🏻❤
- Peter Fields: You're gonna be just fine Josh. I promise.
- Dan Frederiksen: It's an interesting topic and I think for the most part, youtube is fairly authentic even if you put on a brave face or high energy for a video. It can't help shine through at some point. And it is naturally an intimate contract and being completely exposed can be tough.
- Denise Ign: I'm so proud of you Josh ❤
- void newt: this is so inspiring, josh. thank you. i'm always acting not myself around other people but now i feel as if that's wrong and i wanna change it.
- Chastity Watson: Zimm VI You are so right and when they say he's changed that's what he is trying to do so he's succeeding
- Bryar B: Josh you look amazing! Love the no beard!😊👌🏻
- Emily H: sally YES! This, exactly.
- Clara Ramos: Josh, I've been following you for a while now, and I think this is my favourite video of yours. 💖
- Em H: Bahar Adhikary yes! They would be SO good!
- Michelle Webb: Josh I'm going to be honest, I was not a fan of your content before your tragedy. I didn't feel like you were being truly authentic but I've loved watching you grow into yourself lately and it's kept me coming back. I like the real you, keep it up :)
- Noi Meshchaninov: But how? How to just be when you (me) have been trying to fit in/ be liked all you (my) life?
- Love andattention: ur such a strong person
- Natasha Reddy: god from what I've been going through recently I really needed to hear this
- b3llasWorld: This is my favourite videos of yours that you've ever posted! Glad to get to know the real you :)
- Sarah Friedman: This reminds me of the SHAYTARDS
- Troya Rose: Yeah probably
- Madison Ely: dingleberries & orevwa? :(
- samantha 14145: josh,i will always be here for u bc i love u like a brother ur one person i will never be mad at💚 and it did make sense
- sydnie Roberts: Josh we will appreciate and support you. We all go through the fear of not being liked it's totally understandable especially in this transition. Hope for the best!
- Becky 17105: Who noticed the Netflix in the back
- Fiona Kelsey: I'm early
- OkayShona: Amazing
- Michelle Beck: You are awesome. I loved this video and this topic!
- Megan: funkuchen2 right? Whenever he just speaks to the camera it flows, he gets his thoughts out clearly and I honestly enjoy videos like these more than challenges
- LunasDaughter: This is probably one of my favorite Youtube videos, from one of my favorite Youtubers. And you will be one of (if not only) favorite Youtubers, no matter what. Authenticity is one of my favorite qualities, and sometimes it is the most difficult to achieve. Not just for Youtubers, but anyone. When I admire someone, I still imagine all the work they are putting into being their best, or looking like they are at their best, even though that is probably not how they always are. People get upset. People argue with loved ones. People make mistakes. And when I say I follow you on Youtube because you are one of the most down-to-earth, positive, and real people on here, it's knowing that you are still showing only certain sides of yourself to your fans. Perfection doesn't mean you don't make mistakes. To me, perfection means you strive to be better when you are at a low or weak point. Feeling negative at times when you usually try to be positive does not make you imperfect. When you look at a beautiful flower, how do you tell one that is real from one that is fake? The fake one will have petals that are brightly colored, the leaves will be completely green with no blemishes. But the real one, the real one is even more beautiful. And how can you tell it is real? The leaves aren't all symmetrical. There may be some brown spots here and there. But it is real, it is beautiful, and it is perfect, flaws and all.
- Emilia Petty: I love u Josh❤ I'm with u all the way!!❤
- ned k: BRING IT!! YES....Let's be real...craving real, craving the broken, craving the truth amongst this crazy world. x
- Shane Smith: Josh. We love you no matter what! Just remember no matter how hard you try to be perfect you can't know one can be perfect. But I think your perfect in my eyes you're the the best person I know even though we don't know each other you're my biggest role model that I look up to everyday! You're such a big inspiration to me and I'll always love you no matter what happens just remember that you don't have to be someone your not. Just be yourself and nothing more and nothing less you're perfect just the way you are. Love you josh and hopefully this makes you happy and cheers you up a little. Sincerely love shane!!!
- MurMade: Amen! This is truly inspirational! I am beyond excited to see the real you! You deserve to be happy and I'm sure I'm not the only fan who wants to see real content. This is by far your best video yet :) I am proud to be a subscriber and I truly look up to you!
- Denise: you are amazing!
- Bethany Russell: This video was really wonderful to watch. I am so inspired by how strong you are Josh. I hope that however you are taking everything, that you are taking the time to focus on yourself and being your own person and loving yourself.
- sonny day: am i the only one thats like ....;huh?'
- Andrea: Bring back the beard!
- Millie Brooks: Early Squad
- Kayla: Josh I agree i know what you mean I know how it's is when people say that it fake or your fake just know as long as you know no that we know that it's true that's all we need
- Kristin Thomas: Just be yourself that's always the best wAy to be...don't worry about what others think of you if they can't handle the true you then you don't need that in your life ...that's my motto that I live by anyway.
- Catherine R.: Hi Josh! I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos. Also, I'm really liking your new hair style.
- Kaitlin Simpson: I'm 100% behind this.
- Chloe Sibrel: Bb omg 😰😰😰😰😥😥😪❤
- Maya Ferguson: That was so inspiring Josh and I just can't tell you how much that meant to me and I will never unsubscribe to you because you are very very inspiring and I want you to know that with hard times come you can just pray because God will always be with you.😎
- Delaney Lewis: SO INSPIRING!!!! yes Josh! I will be me! and I will be me not only to help who I am, but to help and inspire everyone I know be them self's! i get what you mean! do u wanna live your life not being you!? NO! be your self! ^_^ you only live once!

- Sarah Barth: "Just be" love that And btw love the Netflix in the background 😂
- daniisaurushax: I think out of all you tubers I am most like you. I was really hoping someone would say something along these lines soon, and really mean it and have a good idea of what would help. I really hope to see good things in your future!!
- Dreamcakey: I love you.
- Patrick Sayngs: Does it really offend people when people are walking around during a video, lol
- Laura McKibbin: Josh, Anyone that has been divorce have been through what you have. After my divorce I went through the same thing, struggling to build my life back together while trying to show everyone that I was OK even though I had days where I wasn't.
- Sofia Garza: I'm so proud of you.
- Ash Leung: this is the best video you've made... just being you.
- Sherry Genovese: You are awesome
- Sidney Woods: Wow just amazing
- ALLJArt: This topic is a very vast one, and forgive me for blabbering on as I know you are a busy man, so I won't be offended if you don't read this. The different communities on-line are quite funny actually because they seem to have completely opposite views on the matter. I am part of the "Sims gaming community" for example and everyone in that community tends to stress about being yourself and putting out videos that YOU want to make and in turn, viewers will enjoy your videos because you are clearly being yourself and enjoying them, otherwise people will detect that you are just doing it for the views and then they will stop watching and not enjoy your content. I am also part of the "Art Community" on here and there is a lot of love and positivity on there but there are a lot videos being put out that are fake and only being done because everyone else is and it gains views. There is a line that is diffiuclt to determine where it is because most people that do YouTube want to grow and it is difficult to grow if you are not tapping into things that are happening on here, like clickbait and making up videos and thumbnails just so that people will watch.. That is where the vlogging community is introduced into my array of different channels and sharing. My vlogging channel is the one where I am most myself. I don't put make-up on or do my hair most of the time for those videos and I am 100% myself and I will tell you if I am having a stinker of a day and it seems to drive people away. Most people come to youtube to be entertained and uplifted. I come to youtube to let out creativity, frustration as well as to share happy moments in my life. It's a tough one. I know a few people who are authentic on-line but only a handful of people, and they seem to have channels that grow a lot slower than the people who are fake, which is a shame really. False positivity is really not good in a lot of ways, especially when you have younger viewers that don't understand what the world is really like. I believe that showing the bad side of things that you go through and sharing that much on-line (while still having privacy is important, because it helps people, but, it is also good to put out videos that are genuinely positive, obviously, cause ya could brighten someone's day! I really can't explain how I feel about this topic in a comment as I could write a book, can you tell? Any way, if you read this, keep being you, Josh and the group of friends talking about issues that your viewers are having sounds like a good idea.
- Kelsey Wilson: Being not okay is okay. I understand what you are going through. I'm going through a rough part in my life, divorce etc. this hit me where I feel I needed to hear this. Thank you for posting this and being honest
- SWENGALIS: You look so good with that hair
- Samantha Trujillo: Josh be who you are. Be the person that you are when you are happiest. I will always support you and the true dingleberries will always support you. We as a fandom will be here when times are rough and when times are fun and exciting. You be the person that we all look up to. While you're at it be true to you. I love you. And I will always love you. I don't watch you because you do what's trending I watch you because you bring me happiness and you aren't afraid to be emotional in front of us. Once again I love you. Remember to be the best version of you and always be true to yourself.
- Amanda Reed: I. Love. This. Video. *I Love THIS JOSH.* I am so excited to see where this attitude takes you. And I'm relieved, Josh. Relieved. Because I couldn't see whether or not you were dealing... couldn't tell if you were going thru the stages to heal.. we all could tell that you were putting on a front. It honestly scared me a little. I'm so glad you have some real true friends that you can lean on through this. *AND* I think it's really going to bless lives, these round table discussions you're planning. <3
- sharkluvah694: I appreciate your honesty and how you keep pushing through. I will keep you in my prayers because as a divorcee I know it's tough. Keep up the good work young man.
- Landon Gilmore: This is a free Therapy Session
- tooner96: Even though I have some videos on here, I'm not really on YouTube, but it's hard to be authentic in everyday life as well. Every time someone asks me how I'm doing, my answer, 90% of the time, is: "I'm... *hesitation while I contemplate answering truthfully, but then chicken out* ...okay." It's tough because you want to be accepted in general. The fear that nobody wants to be around a 'downer' type person usually wins. Feel better soon, Josh.
- Angela Wallis: I love you josh just be yourself
- Lynette Demar: Once again, I am so impressed by you and everything you had to say! All very well said!!

- Mikaela: Love you soo much!!! So proud of you for stepping out I like this Josh better, you are being yourself and i think every one should watch this to reflect on who the have become and what they should do about the way they act in the public eye
- Kaitlynn Ellis: You're an amazing person Josh. And just because you've decided you want to be more real doesn't mean I'm going to unsubscribe, because I'm not. I like to feel that my comments help a little. I may be just a number, but there's always that one chance that it might help
- Amit Lal: Good for you, Josh! I'm glad you're coming out of your shell. Leave the past behind and focus on a truthfully happier future.
- Bianka Roman: This is truly amazing and inspiring. Not only meant for the YouTube community but to everyone. To be authentic instead of putting on a front that everything's ok. It's ok to be happy but it's also ok to not be ok sometimes.
- Candace _: Don't give up Josh we're here for you. ❤️
- Breonne Disney: ❤
- McKenna Murphy: I love you Josh. I can tell who you are and you are a really good guy. I. Can't wait for others to see too. 😘😘
- Amanda Behrens: I am so excited for this. I feel like we have seen little pieces of Real Josh and honestly as someone closer to your age (30) I like him! Going through a divorce myself I cant wait for raw content! Way to go Josh!
- dOlli3cOutur3: TBH I never subscribed because I sensed the fakeness... I like you better real
- Angelin SA: Josh I saw you heart broken video.. I'm right now in the same situation you were..my man who I love so much is avoiding me I can't hate but I wanna give his happiness and his happiness is that I shouldn't be in his life I feel like dying even though I'm not engaged to him I still love him and he was my only man I wanted as my husband..please help me Josh please😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I feel like dying...

- Ashly Jorden: I LOVE YOU ❤️
- JessicaElric: There will always be people who don't like you. Period. But, the great thing is that, on the flipside, there will also always be people who DO like you. Wouldn't it be great and better to find those that like, love and appreciate the real you? I hope everything works out for you, Josh. Everyone deserves to find happiness. Good luck. 🍀
- DragonHeartstring 360: You're an amazing human 💕
- R. Lindley: Love the honesty. Thank you!

All day. ~Erika
- Sarah Firestone: wow. when you said, 'Should you be fake all the time or authentic from the start so you aren't left with nothing once something bad happens,' is literally why I always tell my viewers that I'm going to be 100% myself in every video no matter what.
- Danya Dalling: I completly agree with your decision. Good job... be yourself
- Kaitlyn Laufenberg: I love you joshu
- Raquel Morales: #snapchatsquad 😎😎
- Mariana Paz: This video went by way to quickly for me. Loved it, Josh. Very real, very reliable
- maddie mae: Stay strong Josh!!! You can do this and your YT vids make me smile everyday and I always can't wait to watch more. Your my inspiration 24/7 and to an almost 11 yr old girl, you need someone who can really preach the right things like you and I appreciate you and your family. I love you so much Josh stay strong💕💕💕💕
- Eliza Morgan: Thank you, Josh. I am going through some things right now that I really feel nobody will ever understand, and that really helped. Thank you.
- ayzia box: love this your awesome to come out and say this 💙
- Gaby Gabs: Happened with PewDiePie..
- - puddle -: im not okay! #mcr ......okay ill leave
- Missy Munster: I love this. I don't know what to say without offending anyone but honestly, I love this. This is showing true adult ways of growing and dealing with an issue as big as divorce and from the outside looking in as far as I can personally see, is that because of Colleen's character it brought the attention of many young children to your page, which isn't a bad thing, but I feel it pressures you into being very limited with you content NOW. So this change I think is brilliant FOR YOU as it will help you grow, recover and communicate with adults who either get it and/or have been through it. You may lose subscribers but they're just the one sided visioned people or children. I feel this will bring you many new people who will be a great support system for you. I was really absorbed in this video because it felt so true and down to earth. Looking forward to your new content! Xoxo
- Jimmy Ryan: we love you
- AlliGraz: I have so much respect for you, Josh. Your honesty and openness makes you even more lovable. I truly admire you and this video is wonderful, not hiding your flaws and owning up to imperfections makes me want to watch your videos even more! I'd rather you real and a little imperfect than some perfect robot. Seriously, you're a role model and a truly fantastic guy
- Brianna Pankonin: I have so much respect for you Josh. I love you and I love all of your videos. You are such an inspiration to me. God bless you and everything your going through right now! Much Love!!💕💕💕
- KsGurlGamer: i felt chills..
- juwayriyah101: +JoshuaDTV I mean I luv you videos
- Esther Richelle: I love this idea !! x
- Leah Pulling: When did he say a child you didn't know about
- Dreidqx: Josh I want to say thank you for your transparency through everything... it's helping me through a lot. Much love to you and your friends and family
- Natalie Hager: I'm speechless...this is absolutely amazing!
- Riya Patel: Did anyone notice on the tv screen, Netflix was pulled up
- Amoline F: You are so brave Josh! I love you so much!!
- Neta McKinney: Awesome message! And I look forward to authenticity. That is why I love YouTube. It's real people. If I wanted the feel good lie to me crap I'd watch tv.
- Ryan Stevens: i would rather see the real josh that's what most of us actually want to see
- Cara Picone: Authenticity can only really help viewers. Putting up a front sets false expectations for viewers that life when you grow up is all roses and no thorns, that these 'real people' are happy all the time, that success equals happiness. Being authentic sets a good example and makes others feel less alone, because your own stuff will match someone else's. Even if you are defeated now and again, that shows others that what they're going through is normal.
- Rachel Lovette: I love this Joshua. Thank you for being real.
- heyitschlo: is it just me, or does Josh look so freaking hot in this?
- Sepi Sh: Yes yes yes yes!
- Alizée LeBlanc: This made me have a huge flash back to 6 months ago😢
- Implicitdemandfordema: You know there's a button on the side of a vid and you can say that you don't like the vid or you don't like the channel and stuff... *Ejit*
- Joharra Jo: +Florida Dad best advice ever.
- Jordan Whitson: Great Video! God bless! It takes courage to do this. You're a great YouTuber! I pray that you can open up more and feel better.
- brynna.: a really great channel to watch is okbaby. they the cutest, levi is adorable, and while the of course dont show everything they are very authentic. i know this isnt exactly what you were probably looking for on this video, but i just thought i would put this out there because they are truly one of my favorite youtubers because of their authenticity. :)
- uilani lia: *raises hand violently* i love the real you!1!1!1! even if you make mistakes, everyone does. i really wish you tubers would be more honest.
- Chris Reggi: the realest.
- niyati shah: This was really so inspirational! Forget YouTube society. All humans do this in day to day life. We should just be who we really are. 💗💗💗💗
- Jacie: Hi friends
- Lara Fernández: You seem like a really nice person, Josh.
- Nellie Fedotova: His hair satisfies me 😌
- juwayriyah101: +JoshuaDTV hi I love it videos
- Claire Zehntner: HIS HAIR😍
- thefrogtoe inponds: He looks hot
- Lisa Witberg: Thank you for that :)
- Kaleidoscopeallie: This is actually the first time I have ever seen you but THANK you and I hope you get to ok and beyond soon. I have been struggling myself with getting started here because of exactly this thing. My life is in shambles so what should I make videos about that anyone would want to watch? I don't even know what tomorrow will look like. I'm grateful to see this from the get go because you have knowledge from the inside and what I'm hearing is that authentic is needed in this place at this time. I've been on a 5+ year journey of stripping down to my own authenticity. It totaled my outer life but it's pretty much the one resource I have right now. So, perhaps now actually IS the right time for me to get going despite appearances. I know it takes courage to answer 'I'm not ok' even to a friend so thank you for having the courage to tell us as well and #bethechange.
- Emily Hay: So was his divorce fake and for publicity or not btw I love you josh and I support you you are amazing and I think you are very strong and kind
- TheLaceylou92: :)
- Lottie Tomlinson: Well said josh❤
- Brigid Slevin: what bar has YouTube couple news playing on tv lmao fake
- Kara Ballard: Hope this means no more pointless tasting videos(:
- Bell Le Blanc: just be 💕
- Hannah Bell: Don't worry you don't have to be fake true fans like me like you the way you are. To be honest with you I could tell there was something was wrong. Don't be fake Josh be anything you want to be and don't worry the people who will judge you for being you. There will always be those people but the key is to never let them affect you. I want to thank you for teaching me a important lesson: to be nice to people and I hope we spread the message to all the people who judge you for being you Hannah❤️
- chukabucka: its ok to not be ok ... its even better to acknowledge it and its a level up to hatch a plan and aim for better ... witnessing your growth and courage has been long awaited - keep on keeping on Josh - its coming ... :)

- Britney Hernandez: Josh if you want to make longer videos you do it you do you and I will love it like it no matter what because Ik your a very happy goofy and cheerful person
- Josh Sumner: hope you are doing ok josh,your a very sweet guy
- Heather Saso: Thank you for this Josh. I had a rough week last week and it triggered my anxiety really bad. So bad that I've had panic attacks a few times over the last few days and I've said "I'm not ok" as well. I've been reflecting on my situation and I think what I'm dealing with is some residual abandonment issues from my childhood. I'm tired of feeling hopeless when things aren't perfect but sometimes I do need to feel the pain in that moment, just like you said. I'm looking forward to this new format you talked about. Thanks for doing this, I bet you are going to help a lot of people, myself included. 👍🏼
- Mama Box: I think I'd like the 💯 real Josh better than the Josh we've seen the past several years. You're an awesome guy and I'm glad I found your yt channel. You always brighten my day. Stay true to yourself, the real fans & friends will stick around bro. ✌🏻💙😁
- Tia Anasuya: Just so you know Josh, you were worried people would unsubscribe cause of content like this? I subscribed just cause of this video. the new stuff sounds like something I'd want to watch!
- Paige Usherwood: I felt like I knew shay carl...and then... :(
- emojimovieMOTY: So you were never early?
- Meagan Elizabeth: Can I give you a million thumbs up. I haven't been able to YouTube for a few years because I don't feel like can be the real me. You are amazing in everything you do even on bad days!
- NDG TV: I love the new authentic adult Josh
- Ashara Anthony: I hope I works
- Jane Varghese: Lucy Heaney I was in a similar situation as you. I met a guy who was a strict Christian just like me but we were different kinds of christians. I'm Indian and he is black. I was not supposed to be dating and was supposed to get an arranged marriage. But after 3 years of dating, we wanted to get married and I told my parents and my entire family (aunts uncles parents) disowned me. I was kicked out of the house. I got married and lived with my husband and his family. But me being a daddy's girl was literally crushed. My dad basically told me that he doesn't and never had a daughter. The first year of our marriage was the hardest year of my life. But we just celebrated our 4 year anniversary and are the happiest we've ever been. My parents love my husband and I go over to their house for dinners several times a week. Obviously it wasn't easy but not many things are. It was definitely worth the heartache and I'm so happy to be married to him. Sorry that was so long lol. Hope it helped you some. Hopefully you are at a decent age to be smart in this situation.
- Maria Turinetti: This is so important...not just from your perspective as a YouTuber, but from which everyone can learn. Feel your feelings people! I too am guilty of concealing whatever I'm feeling until it's too late and I break down or let loose with anger towards someone for what seems like no reason at all. Think of yourself as a balloon and your emotions as the air that fills it. Only so much air can fit inside that balloon until it pops right? Omg did I just discover what 🎈 means? Maybe or maybe not but you are free to use if you want to subtly communicate that you're not having the best day. Anyway, Josh you are an incredible man that deserves so much love. I'm happy you've got your core group of friends and an amazing family you can count on in tough times. However, not to brag but I give amazing hugs so I've been told. Anytime you're in need of one come visit in IL! Thanks for keepin' it real!🤗
- Lily Underhill: Joshua I understand
- Erica Lee: love down to earth and real people! fake people suck (not that Josh was fake) it's just nice to hear this. bring it on Josh!
- Write Adventure Julia 12: Emily T I know this comment isn't geared towards me, but it helped me!
- T. P.: u make me feel awkward all the time😡😡😡😡
- Niah Lavore: Omg this is probably my favorite video now 😂

- Marianne Lou: 51 views, 505 likes, 8 dislike.. okay
- Lily Underhill: Joshua
- Empowered April: We love you. I'm sorry you are hurting. We support you 100%.
- Allison Novy: 31 views 106 likes......... I love YouTube
- isa f: What frustrates me the most is when I read your comments and someone says "josh changed" or "I miss the old josh". I absolutely hate that. People expect you to be this emotionless human being that went through the toughest chapter in his life and suddenly everything is ok and act like nothing happened. Ahhh it upsets me. I'm glad you are changing, I'm glad you are evolving, I'm glad that you are being your true self. I can't say that of many people, sadly including myself.
- Heather O'Day: Good on you Josh for being courageous and sharing your truth with us. love you much. hugs
- Troya Rose: Why did you get in a divorce what did you do Not to be rude
- Leslie Allen: what if you don't know who you are as a person?
- Nejra B: ❤️ snap fam up at 12 am watching u love u joshua
- Joy Edem: You probably won't see this, or may ignore it, but do you honestly think it's possible for people who watch you on a screen to think of you as a friend? Or alternatively, do you feel like you actually know whoever you're watching on YouTube, unless you've actually meet and hung out with them multiple times? I think it's quite naive for any one who watches you or any YouTuber to feel like they actually know you/them. Regardless of how transparent you attempt to be, the reality of it is this is a job for you all, that's the truth. YouTube is your job, and thus there is absolutely a limit on the authenticity you can present or portray. Obviously YouTube is a bit weird and different from regular work because even if you project yourself as a sick/twisted person, there is still an audience for you. If I, as someone who works at a job that isn't entertainment, present myself in a way that isn't in line with my company's values, I'll get fired. It's great that you can get to try to portray yourself however you want on YouTube because you have amassed a following, but I stand by my point that you can't be 100% authentic as this is a job for you. And yes it's an inherent need we all have to be loved, to be seen, but YouTube may give you a false perception of that in the form of likes and comments and views. Can you truly call the people that watch you your friends. What do you know about them? Apart from them allotting some time to watch you, how else are you a part of their life? How do you feel connected to them? These are just honest questions and I'd love to know what you think. I've watched you for a while, and I've laughed, sympathized and felt sadness for you through what you've presented of your life, but I've never felt like I knew you as a person. But that's okay, I don't expect to. That doesn't stop me from wishing you happiness, and strength for whatever you go through, and I truly do.
- Karla G: I agree with every word, I love you Josh and I am so proud of who you've become, you are amazing i love you
- Kate Papazoglou: I love it when Youtubers are themselves and they are real, and I don't mean showing their pain and guilt or whatever, I mean... when it counts. If you don't want to share it than thats find, but when they do... its okay, because if we support their youtube, they should support who they are as well. Every goes through things, and I think if you fake being happy, your not showing real content.
- mgoode: This is a great video. Awesome way to help break stigma. Not to mention your hair looks great! 😊 Stay strong Josh!
- Jess Ann: I love your thoughts on this. I was thinking a lot about this today, too. Figuring out how I can humble myself and put out an honest version of me not only on my channel, but more importantly in my life. Choose to be your authentic self.
- NS BL: i respect you so much, hope you do find someone who values you as you deserve. may all your virtues and talents shine brighter than ever!!
- Lena Malitte: You're the best!
- Tessa Knapp: When he didn't say au revoir ✌🏼😭😭😭
- Kaylee B: This. Was. Great. I can't wait to get to know the real Josh a little better.
- Luis Quiñones: Josh. this new idea is gold. i think i speak for all TRUE fans when i say youtubers (obvi you) are best when real and having an intelligent conversation with your audience. thats awesome cant wait!
- Alexane Turgeon: 52 views+346 comments+529 likes+9 dislikes= youtube math
- Victoria Simmons: This video was so relevant to YouTube and life in general. Thank you for the overall message, Josh ❤️
- Olivia Torres: You have evolved so much from the Josh I first watched 3 years ago. Keep moving forward and open new doors that lead you to new paths and happiness. I look forward to knowing the real you!
- mec 24: Alexis Stewart YES 100%
- Julie Engle: I'm still really sad because they seemed so great together but like Josh said you never really know someone in real life or behind closed doors. But like legit it made me give up on love a little bit lol
- Cassiday S: Not gonna lie, i unsubscribed a few weeks ago because I was getting really tired of the content he was starting to produce. I know a lot of people will disagree but I'm not entertained by challenges, generic q&a's, and some of the other seemingly unoriginal videos that Josh has resorted to. This video popped up in my recommended and has persuaded me to give him another chance. I'm excited for the changes and really hope that Josh can find himself again and get back to producing awesome and entertaining videos like he used to when I first subbed.
- Ayla: Ur hair!!! Killing it dude!! Ur the best!!
- Brianna Noviello: FINALLY! Yay Josh! I love you!
- Paityn Mae: Love you!!!!!!!!!!
- Julee Sutton: super super inspiring!! i'm so proud of you josh! love youu
- Rosa Herrera: Thank you for this. I'm struggling with life right now from people emotionally hurting me. I'm trying to just be me. And I thank you for this video for helping me find me again.
- Nakita Sanders: I'm excited!!! YouTube is getting so repetitive and pointless, I've just been scrolling past most of the vids of ppl I'm subscribed too. A person can only watch smash or pass so many times! Bring on the authenticity!♡ Hopefully being authentic will become the trend.
- Bannerman Bear 🐻: A podcast? Hell yeah, sounds good. I actually can't wait for your new stuff
- Olivia Hoglund: I love how real he is.
- Miosotis Betancourt: Thank you Josh! Finally someone willing to say and show authenticity. Life isn't perfect, we as human beings aren't perfect and it's ok to show the real. Looking forward to the content 😊
- Hale the Hero: Josh, I loved this video, but your bedroom light was on, you are wasting electricity!
- Sophia Marbles: I am super proud of you for making this video.
- Michelle Leigh: Love him even more after watching this! <3
- Zoe Blue: Ömer Meydan Idk I've you've noticed but our morals came from the Bible. It is bad to steal and murder and lie, everyone agrees on that. Is that intolerant towards thiefs, murderers, and liars? The Bible condemns a lot of sins but that is just. God is just. God is also merciful and gracious so, if we turn away from our sins, He allows us to be sanctified. I think a lot of people see Christianity as intolerant because of the intolerant people who call themselves Christian.
- Panic!At the Disco: ARE THEY GETTING DIVORCED????????????????
- Journey B: This was amazing. I love josh so much ❤
- Thirza Buis: Lots of respect! Being authentic And honest makes you human. This is a big step in the right direction!
- Abbi Martin: Good to know.
- AngelicVoice1: As someone who is older than you, this is my best advice on stuff like this... If you spend your time changing who you are to make someone else like you, it's not YOU they like. It's who you've " projected" but not you. It's better to be surrounded by people who like you, because of your quirks and flaws, not in spite of them. This will change your demographic, which I think you know. You're going to probably lose the younger viewers who want eating challenges etc, but you'll gain adult viewers who really want authentic, honest content from people to see that life is hard for everyone sometimes. Just my $.02.
- Alyssa Caliendo: yes times a million. I respect you so much for this.
- Dan Frederiksen: I have noticed that a lot of youtubers are driven by pain in their past. I think there is a lot of truth yet to be told. A lot of healing to be done in the scary light of truth. I think youtube will play an important role for the world in that regard.
- Peggy: "Be authentic. Just BE." Im not crying at all, you are.....
- Samantha Reyes: high. freaking. five. Josh.
- Kathrynn: Josh, you can come meet my mama! You gotta take me though because it might be a little awkward if ya don't,...js 😉
- Alyssa F: I love you!!
- Adri J2194: Well alright, I got my motivation for the week. I feel like I can do what I need to do now. 👍🏽
- Hope Cochran: For real, though, you and Hannah Hart need to have a sit down discussion over lunch and maybe make a video together. You are two of the most real youtubers. I'd love to hear you both give advice to us and just talk about life in general. You may not even know each other but I strongly feel like you both would help each other. ❤
- Terry White: Thank You really, Thank You Josh. My kids got me into watching YouTube about 4 years ago. I can't speak for everyone but I would much rather watch authentic, honest videos. I actually don't assume to know you but with that said when you watch someone all the time you come to care for them as if they were a friend or family member. I think that's why my sight & I& maybe others had a hard time understanding your break up because we only saw the good times. I believe the majority of your followers will love this path your on, I truly do. Of course there will always be trolls, unfortunately. I wish you the best and an looking forward to the new content. 💓
- christian: 2ND
- Grace Adkins: wow just wow

- facemonkey13: I needed to hear this. Thank you.
- LiterallyMorgan: I love you, Joshua. 🖤 It's gonna be alright. Maybe not tonight. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not next week. But it will eventually. Everything will work out. If you need anything at all, DM me on twitter @Tanas_Joshleen (I still haven't changed my @...). You don't have to hide anything. We all love you so much.
- Jessie B: Alexandria who's Jesse?
- Dave M: she's so brave

- Sagemarie DiOrio: Love you Josh <3
- TheHorse316: Josh honestly i was so worried about you for so long because i could feel the fakeness. I am so so glad you're being yourself again and being honest and I think this video was fantastic!
- Hayley Perkins: I swear you are truly gonna find yourself in a better position emotionally in the near future.. Just because you've let it all out. Go forth and live!!!
- Stephie Garcia: Love you Josh! I hope you are happy soon :) good luck with this new project!
- Hyrule777: It's a YouTube channel!!! Not a TV show!! Be authentic Josh we still love you!! 💞💞

- jennie riffel: I'm proud of you. I like the real you. I unsubscribed to the fact Josh. Im subscribing again. I really want to join you on this journey
- Kendall Gustovich: My mom thinks this it stupid
- Victoria: I really appreciate you emphasizing it wasn't what you wanted. I believe we all knew that without it being said, we can tell you are very true to your values and I'm so sad for you that you have to go through hurt you never expected to deal with. You will learn so much from this healing and thank you for sticking to your values and sharing this honest video with us. YouTube is lacking this kind of real content.
- Hannah Sherman: I love you Josh. You have an amazing heart and soul. Please always be true to yourself. ❤❤
- hall cilla: I'm not okay (I promise)
- Alyssa V: I'm glad you made this video😊
- Kelsey Van Praag: This video is wonderful and so important in the community. As both a viewer and content creator I have seen both sides and I think I can speak for a lot of us viewers when I say we would LOVE to have people making more genuine content online. It's a brave thing you are doing and I have so much respect for you (not that I didn't already$.
- Gary Pierce: You seem like a young Michael Scott.
- Gandalf Odinson: The reason we have to project ourselves into someone else, is because if we let people get to know us truly, then that makes us vulnerable, because what we say to a person can be twisted or shut down. The world is cruel and it's impossible to truly be yourself to everyone, because most people don't have good intentions unfortunately, so you can't trust everyone with all of your personal information, if you don't want it to twisted or destroyed.
- Alicia: I needed to hear this message! I have been struggling lately and this video made me think about my situation and what I need to to for myself. You helped more than you know. Thank you❤️
- merciful karma: I honestly really enjoyed this video and I think we can all relate to it in a way. I'm a very anxious person and I've always been so scared to actually get comfortable with people because when I did, I turned into this weird and random, quirky person, but that's who I am. That's what I've kinda realized the past couple weeks. When I'm being a quirky spazz is when I'm being myself the most. I always put up this cold, hard exterior for myself that I thought would protect me from being my true self because when it comes down to it, I'm scared that no one likes my true self. Now I guess you could say I've gotten to a point in life where I'm feeling stuck. I know that I'm not reaching my full potential because I'm afraid to let down that cold, hard exterior I built up because then I'm forced to be vulnerable and "out there." Anyways, I think that we should all work on being ourselves more because after all, that's the true us.
- Carissa Dunn: I'm so proud of you Josh. Don't worry about what other people say about you, only true fans will support you through the thick and thin. You matter to us, we love you, and your such and inspiration to me and your fans. Thank You! 💓😇
- Sarah c: I loved this. Thank you josh. Speaking for myself, I love to see the REAL person... not the fake "youtube" person. We all deal with hard things in life, and seeing the pain in others helps us with our own. So thank you. Keep hanging in there. You're making a difference.
- Eva G.: YES JOSHUA YES SLAY! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT TRUE JOURNEY OF YOURS,COUNT ME IN
- Marlie Vélez: Yas! Finally! I've been waiting and I'm so ready for this new content! 🙌🏼 You go, Josh! 💪🏼
- Alice Carter: I really hope Julien is in the new video. :)
- TheRealSummer: inspired
- Nicole 20: You have my support
- SuperMom: And the. Colleens life update came up next. On auto play hahaha
- Ash.nk: Grow your beard again. That's the only rule.
- Jade de Santiago: My boyfriend/fiancé of five years left me last month. The day before our anniversary and i haven't been okay either. I tell everyone I'm fine and okay and happy and I'm not. I cry in my car and I wish I could tell everyone I'm still not okay. Thank you for saying you're not okay and showing me it's okay. It's not going to get me happiness. I love you, Joshua
- Eric Leiderman: 1:27 No, we don't know you. We like you. (not just you Josh but everyone) In the case of a couple like Jenna and Julien we see them in vlogs, high production videos, on snapchat etc. They've basically turned their lives into the Truman Show. But otherwise, we know that we only know what you present to us. We support you. 5:45 I'm still here and I'm sure most of us are too.
- Sophia Spera: This is amazing! I love you so much Josh! I am so proud of you. You are a amazing YouTuber, you are so sweet!
- Arianna Garcia: I love you.
- J.S. Spaulding: I was unsubbed for the last few weeks but after this I totally resubbed. I wish more youtubers did this
- Mary Frances Way: Preach
- Ebony Allen: It's good to see Josh being honest and open with his viewers.
- Kiersten Ballard: thank you being vulnerable with us. love you
- A A: You can show people who you WISH to be, but you can't fool friends, that what makes them friends!
- Cat Vincer: Good deal love you best of everything and many prayers.
- Susa Ackles: i have a friend going throu the Same shit like u no one is perfect...and it is totally okay 2 Talk about your feeling just please take care about you...u r an amazing Person if u r Not happy then stop pretending...u r allowed 2 b sad etc. treat yoself....Do things u wanna do...☆☆☆ dont care about other People... JUST BE LIKE U ... Do Not Change 4 anybody
- Cait Atkins: I've been subscribed to you for a couple of years now, and I subscribed in the first place because you've always had something real about you. That said, I haven't watched your content much in the past year or so, just because it isn't always my thing and I live a pretty busy life! This video is the first of yours I've clicked in a while and it really, really resonates with me, and before watching it I had a feeling that it would. Obviously we are two very different people, we're at different points in our lives and have different experiences, we're not okay for different reasons, but I can really relate to what you're saying. It's difficult for us to be real in a world that seems so edited and censored, but we always feel better, healthier even, when we're being true to ourselves. Well done for letting yourself not be ok. It's hard. I really wish you all the best. I feel as though this comment would be more articulate if I wasn't writing so late at night. I just get it. All the best to you, Josh, I'm certain you'll be ok soon.
- Chloe Adams: I really hope you find true happiness! This is awesome, I am so glad you are choosing to just be yourself.
- Brianna Heard: This made me happy because finally you admitted that your not okay and you were not your true self and I feel like the videos you post from now on will be WAY better because i am a big fan of people being exactly who they are.
- treebles: joshua you truly are ONE IN A MILLION! 💖👍🏼💖
- Sherri Ward: All I can say is YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Thanks, Josh. Ready to see the true you. I'm sure I'll like you.
- uniworst: I'm really proud of you, doing this. I just have a quick question. Do you have any advice for someone just getting out of a relationship with someone they were in love with? My girlfriend and I just split up Saturday. We still talk, I just can't stop thinking about her and getting upset over it. Any help...?
- Leah Janetatos: this video was annoying AF
- J Son: And, for you, my man, I have another important be. Be Bearded.
- Darius Gray: it's like YESS be real say what's on your mind! Be you!.... I love that😂
- Sho B: Insert MCR lyrics now.
- Andrea Montpas: I LOVE U❤
- Sabrina Simpson: You freaking go Josh. I'm so happy that you're starting up this conversation, because it's so true, not just in the YouTube community, but in everyday life like you said. Even though it's unfortunate for the YouTubers who have to suffer the consequences of it all "catching up to them," it really provides the perfect illustration of this issue of everybody trying to fake it 'til they make it. I'm a sophomore in college and lately I've been reflecting on who I am now versus who I was just a couple of years ago in high school, and how fake that older version of myself now seems. My priorities were very different back then, and I was kind of obsessed with being cool and having this awesome persona that radiated confidence and success, because that's the kind of person I wanted to be. I had a specific reason for wanting that back then, but thinking back on it now, it just makes me feel embarrassed at how shallow that was. It wasn't until college kicked me to the curb a little that I got off my high horse and realized it. So I find it very interesting to hear things like this from someone else. I'd be curious to hear other people's stories. Thanks Josh.
- Cassidy Quinn: Josh! This is great, I love the ideas you talked about here, and I totally agree about the whole YouTubers being authentic but really thing... This year, I started a new series on my channel called For Real Fridays, where I just sit and talk, unedited, about some kind of topic that's real for me, every Friday. I can't hide behind editing or planned jokes or anything like that. I've loved doing it so far!
- Morgan Smith: HAHA i caught the "a child you didnt know about" thing we all know who that is but i dont blame him love you josh just stay elevated
- Keahi Ohana: "It's okay not to be okay...."
- Positive Note Network: Thanks for committing to being real, Josh! We're committing with you! Can't wait to see what content comes out of this! Praying for you through this difficult journey. We believe in you and in all of the things HE can do through you. Keep your head up!
- Elizabeth Webb: Preach josh preach
- LIZTHELIZARD: I feel bad for u and ur life,I love ?????? And u but when I'm bored and I have nothing to watch I'm come to u when can, I'm not the kind of person that make u upset or any mean comments so yeah
- janelle s: TheGingerChronicles that outro always bothered me too.
- Emma Ramage: This isn't a video for publicity, this isn't a video for likes, and this video isn't for you to be mean. This is a wonderful human being trying to make things right, to make a change for the better. Joshua David Evans I am proud of you and so is every other true subscriber here. You are being your authentic self, and that's all we want you to be. Nobody's perfect and we don't expect that from you. We expect the wonderful happy, sad, cheerful, down, TRUE Joshua that we all know and love. You are amazing and I hope that everyone here realizes that people go through things in life that suck, but if you hold your chin up high and become determined, that ANYTHING can happen. I pride you on not just this but everything you've done. Ily josh♡
- Kaitlyn Brown: This video is truly inspiring. Everyone needs to see it. Good luck to you Josh! You deserve all of the happiness in the world.
- Melissa Coulter: 4 likes 3 views. Great job YouTube.
- hannahsbandz: aw this video had me feeling so many different type of ways but mostly i am hella proud of you bc i can't even imagine how hard everything has been and how hard making these types of videos are and i love you sm and always will
- Ruth Adeleke: Guys, can we start a list of complements for JoshuaDTV to make him feel better?
- NIkki Nadeau: Thank you so much for addressing this. I actually hadn't subscribed until now. I am new to Youtube and this has been the hardest thing for me getting going. So thank you for using your huge influence to spread such a message.
- payton sanders: I like you more when you're real. I hate when your fake and would want to unsubcribe because you were being fake. I love you and I want you happy. and not fake it. you're amazing,, be yourself it looks great on you
- Julia B: this is so so good! thank you for being authentic!
- emily lawrie: I genuinely loved this video. I really appreciate your authenticity here... It was seriously refreshing and felt like a breath of fresh air, this made me like you as a creator a whooooole lot more(I already liked you a ton as a person haha).. Excited for more transparent content from you :)
- Petrichorlefey: Thank you so much for this video, Joshua. I've been struggling with this notion for a while now. Part of me wants to put out the best version of myself but sometimes I feel like I am not being authentic. Some days are tough and people ask you how you are doing and for the sake of not wanting to show I'm hurting or to worry them I just go "I'm okay" when I'm not. You're absolutely right about you being yourself when you are surrounded by your core friends - I just say how I feel, I don't even think twice. It can be a fine line sometimes between not wanting to show that you are going through something and not being authentic. With YT added to the mix, things only get more and more complicated. A persona is created that you must stick to at all times - that seems to be how most people go about it. I understand that it must be daunting outting your true self out there in a platform that can either send accolades your way or judge you for everything you do. This video was a breath of fresh air. Thank you for dodging conventions and fo being raw and unedited with us. Bless your heart. Have a good day! 😊
- Abbigal Smith: josh would be an amazing therapist

You will make mistakes, you're gonna mess up. But so will everyone else. Hopefully people will give you grace and help you through your journey to happiness. I'm so excited for your future and what you are planning for your channel. I love you and miss you so much Josh, we all do ❤

- Yasmin Oates: Love u Josh. Stay strong 👊🏼❤️
- FernBotUSA: Divorced is a death. It's a death of a commitment, it's a death of a fantasy, it's a death of a friendship and you have to go through the stages of grief, which in the end force you to realize a lot about yourself and a lot about the other person. We all want that one big never divorce true love and some people are just meant to be in our lives for a moment and some longer. But realistically, now days, it is just a fantasy because people are selfish and self centered and don't want to put in the work when things get hard. That's why people need to take vows seriously, they aren't just words! Don't say them if you don't mean them! Proud that you are saying you won't be this fake person anymore to make us happy, we want to see you for who you are, through the good times and the bad because your true subscribers love you unconditionally and will keep supporting your dreams as long as you let us!
- Claire Ashcraft: We love you Josh! God loves you too and he's got your back!
- Heidi S: real and authentic josh is my favorite josh. these types of videos are what keeps me here, not your fake happy ones. we're here for you josh, always gonna stick around cause it's not the silly videos or giant fake smiles that we love, it's you. thats all.
- Raquel Morales: im early😃
- Victoria Cruz: Thanks Josh I really needed to hear that
- Kym B.: Spot on! I appreciate your honesty.
- Nubia Flores: Josh we love YOU! Every part of you... Entertainer Josh or Reality Josh.
- Nicole Tawse: so proud of you!!!! Looking forward to some amazing content!
- Anzleigh Peacock: so last week
- panda panda: I'm so proud of you
- Erin Levy: This is something that needed to be shared on the internet! Thanks heaps for that, and I'm excited for all the upcoming videos 😊
- Kat Joy Isaacs: I encourage this move 100%. It's exhausting faking happiness, I know from experience it doesn't lead to a good place. Being said, I'm very proud of you and I accept all emotions negative or positive. I can't wait to see this more authentic you.
- Nomorechancetofail: "if you see me posting a picture that says 'this is the best day ever, I mean it" that resonates man, authenticity is so.. good because whatever it is, it's REAL. no denial. that makes everything so much lighter, no matter how dark. so thank you
- Tall Random Guy: Cetty22 If you watched Jesse's video you would know that it's most likely not his daughter
- CheonHoPark: I dated a Scorpio, things about them they are so secret they will never tell you their true emotions. I am pretty sure the suffering is there for both, but it ain't too hard not too make judgements of a person's true nature, if your ex moves on to somebody a day after you break up... That is called serial dating and running away in hopes of solving your own problems through somebody else, which works temporarily but not forever. Can't make assumptions but heard they had a video on them on MTV and Josh got a little festered that she was choosing her career more then him. I can see both sides, it is hard to choose both, and have time for both, you either choose love or passions, don't think you can have both, but seems like she did make a choice over one over the other to me. True love is one's that stick it through regardless, but seems like it was there, but not enough. Is that true love if it doesn't last? Don't know. I apologize before making any judgements. I am pretty biased based on my poor experience.
- Tahlia Argiropoulos: I FUCKEN MISS DEM TO FUCKIN MUCH BRUH
- Maddie Poynter: Love you josh!!!! ❤❤❤ happy for you ❤
- Jessica Hartsell: Your not okay , I'm not okay , they are not okay , at the end no one is okay, no ones life is truly amazing , you are the only one that can make your life okay,
- Rochelle Stroh: Josh, you are so encouraging! I look forward to your new content. Thank you for your passion and transparency. Keep doin what you're doin!
- ju_tmbr: Its not healthy to preject, just be yourself❤

- KeKe@50: I'm down with it. ❤
- Angela Athanas: Be who you truly are. I will always love you, Joshua David Evans. Forever and always. ❤
- Grace Wright: I think just the fact you acknowledged the divorce out loud since the day we found out and physically saying the word would be helpful for you. It's not the ideal situation and it is definitely a hurtful one at that but moving on takes so much strength and admitting you're literally no okay.... IS okay! It shows you're human and it shows that you're committed to moving on with what you have. So proud of you Joshua, you're a wonderful man. I couldn't say all that in a tweet haha. Love you Joshy, you're doing so well. My partner left me for someone else after years of being together and I'm not even close to coping half as well as you are. Wish I find the motivation you have.
- Andrew Jefferies: Perfect representation of Pewdiepie's forced positivity message from a couple months back. Great message Josh.
- Doreen Davenport: Never change Josh...your fantastic. ! !! Thanks for being you...
- Lori Zeppelina: There's also a lot of value in NOT showing every bit of your most inner vulnerable self online. Most people only show this version to their closest friends, who have reciprocated by showing *their* inner, vulnerable selves in return. Revealing this online to anyone who cares to look opens you up to attack and ridicule from people who essentially have nothing to lose. It's probably easier for youtubers to start out being more "authentic" because almost no one is watching them, but once you start getting hundreds of thousands of viewers, the stakes get raised. But then the people who were watching from the beginning may notice a change. You're in a situation that's both really wonderful and really difficult, and I don't envy the difficult part. In the end though, being yourself may mean NOT revealing yourself totally to complete strangers on the internet. If it does, you don't have to be sorry about that. Fans should be able to understand.
- Rainbow Diamond: Thank you. This helped my day. 🙂
- Amanda Taglieri: IM AMANDA TOO
- Brammy: I don't want to say i feel ur pain but i have felt unhappy for a year now from a broken relationship. The weird thing is that only my super close friends can tell or talk to me about it and i act normally towards them. When im with my other friends i act my happy positive self which tho it can be fun is not true happiness. Now that its been a year she's moved on with another guy, im not able to come together to start with someone new and everyone doesn't understand y a normal happy guy isnt talking to other girls. This is too late to fix because i acted happy to move on not deal with it and if i come clean to everyone it won't do me any good as everyone else has forgot about it apart from me.
- juwayriyah101: awwwww it must be very cute then I'm jealouse I luv wolves and huskeys
- Damari Torres: Exactly why I subscribe. Can't wait to see what's to come, YouTube has become such a generic place with so much mealiness content some people enjoy that but I much rather watch someone speak their truth.
- Michele O: Outstanding.
- Lauren Friend: Nice curtains!! I have the same ones!!
- Anna Kate Youngblood: you are so brave josh...youve got my support along with several several other hundreds of thousands of poeples
- Charlie Gibson: "Just be" what a beautiful statement, joshua.
- Jeff Mullins: Most everyone wears some sort of mask. Different masks for different situations and different people. It's very hard not to wear a mask. Takes alot of work not to wear one.
- css2889: i needed this ... thank you <3
- Samantha Silicato: ❤❤❤❤u josh
- Nicole Burgess: I don't really watch your videos, I have seen a few here and there, but I watched this one.... and It makes me want to watch more. AUTHENTIC is actually the word I chose for myself for 2017. I like who I see in this video, I am subscribing and continuing. PLEASE continue to be authentic and share who you are. <3
- Kaelyn Kath: You are so amazing. This video really helped me. 😃
- Florida Dad: Hi Josh, I'm a 40 year old man married to my dream girl that I met just over 3 years ago. She's 38. It's a second marriage for both of us and we have our first baby on the way now. I was married to before when I was 23, divorced at 29. Here's a breakdown of what you're going to deal with. The first year is going to suck. It's normal and it's healthy. You're dealing with what is effectively a "death" of sorts and it needs to be mourned. You need to experience every holiday and anniversary of this first year as a single man again and on those notable days you should stick close to your sister. Your sister's awesome, managing your business in your absence. My sisters really got me through those days. After that you're going to deal with a feeling of failure that you're going to have to come to terms with. I remember pretty much near the end of year one when I saw a homeless man on the street and gave him some food. He said, "Thank you. I hate where I'm at but you marry the wrong person and it can destroy everything." I decided in that moment that I was not going to be that. I wasn't going to let it destroy me. About the same time I got advice from a successful friend who told me I needed to start winning some things. I needed victories/accomplishments that were my own, apart from my ex, that I could look back on with pride. Give yourself time to mourn properly, but when that time is done you need to go out and win some things that you are uniquely qualified to win. You can do it. I have no idea how to put a decent youtube channel together but I made it through that so I know you can too. You'll never be the same as before. You're going to be better. I am so glad I got divorced. It has made me such a better husband to my wife now.
- Emily Shapiro: iamDannyDeZinna Dude, people cope differently! You can't judge someone for not wanting to stay in a marriage. This is a relationship that was between two people and they had to have personal moments that we rightfully should know nothing about. She obviously made a decision that was super painful and personal to her. They are both great people, but some relationships become too much. You can't expect everyone to outright be open, especially when something very painful happens. Props to josh for moving on, being open, staying positive, and sharing his experiences, but some people are just not ready and they have to take the time to heal first. That doesn't make them heartless, it makes them human. Josh is about being nice to people, we should all take this motto and not place judgement on others. Let's let these two great people move onto a new chapter and do incredible things without all of the condemning and pointing of the fingers.
- Tiffany Ramos: I don't know why anyone would say "yes" that they feel like they completely knew a YouTuber. We all know a lot of them put on an act. We just enjoy watching what they put out there. I sure nobody is completely happy... some people are just better at pretending.
- Hannah Shields: Thank you for you vulnerability and honesty. I know that I'm not alone when I say that I respect you so much more for it.
- Flynn McCabe: This is one of my favorite videos you've done ❤️
- Amanda Charles: <3
- Lymauris A.: 💙
- Cecilia Penso: You're such an inspiration, I feel a connection with you and how you feel about life. Plus, that haircut looks amazing on you! Lot of love, Ceci.
- Ellen Marie O: im in my 30s and I've yet to see a really "good" president. So unless you're significantly older than me (which I highly doubt) then you haven't seen a good president yet either
- Jess Avila: Started to cry in the last few minutes of the video😂😕
- powerblades: The Schuyler Sisters 333 is he gay or not?
- Person: Watching this video made my heart ache. This made me realize how much I love and care for Joshua even though I've never met him before. His decisions are not ones that I would make but I still love and support him. I'm actually happy he made this video. I've been worried about him. Recovering from something like this can be very very hard. And also I hate the media when it does that. 24 Fucking hours?! Disgusting. I hope you get better soon, Joshua. And I truly love you.
- Jen Bradley: You are kind of a douche. Sorry.
- TDT HQ: YOU STUPID!!!!!!!!
- Gandalf Odinson: If you want to be truly authentic, then post a video of you bangin, now that's authentic if ya know what I'm sayin ;) lol jk
- Deeboocee: SUBSCRIBED
- Sophia Dyer: I LOVE YOU JOSH WHATEVER YOU DO ❤❤😘😘😘😚😚😚

- Kristen Bortignon: Josh, I believe in you. You are such a wonderful man and you're doing great things. We love you for who you are so just continue to be yourself, however you are and however you are feeling. I'm sending you all my love. xx
- Bree Nelson: I'm so proud of you! 💜 This video has motivated me to try harder to just simply be, just as you said in the video. It's hard to do, but hopefully we can all help each other to succeed. Thank you.
- Nessiet: You know? I've watched some of your videos before... I've watched what you went trough, your marriage, your divorce, etc. But this is the first time I hit the Subscribe button. Looking forward to see your new content.
- Alexandra Knight: I love this. Authenticity is extremely important. I am excited to see where this takes your channel. I love that we all got to see this side of you and will be able to see this more and more. I will always connect better with genuine people. It's hard to draw the line with sharing your life but I think you will find it naturally. I admire how you have handled the public scrutiny of what you have gone through and look forward to what is to come. Thank you for being you.
- Nonhlanhla M: You do you boo :D
- Beccagui: This is currently breaking my heart, I haven't gotten through the whole video yet. But I love you Josh. :( Thank you for being honest
- jessica stevie: Josh i will be honest, not that i dont like you cuz i do i just never really watched but thank you for this
- samatha browni: I really love this video. Like the video people.
- Michele Carvajal: This spoke to my soul! I just started being on YouTube and it is so hard because you want to be a version where everyone "will like you" I totally understand what you are trying to say! Thank you for this video this encouraged me to be unique, and start showing people who I really am...If they do not like well too bad for them lol Thanks josh and keep up with these videos!
- CreaMundi: Just want you to know, that to me as an adult all of this is not unexpected. I've been following you and others involved for years. So I've seen things that brought up questions. Even you not speaking about it, got me noticing. I'm glad that you're one of the pure YouTubers, and that's why I keep following you. Thank you for beeing you. 💛
- Paulina Black: I hope you blow up and more people see your channel I like this idea I like it
- Mymy Kisses: Well I LOVE ❤️ YOU JOSH!!!!!!!!🌸❤️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟
- Britney LaShe': Exactly!! Thank you the whole point of YouTube is to simply be yourself!! Don't fake anything
- Lorena Bello: Yay
- Angelina Chen: this is so great. we love you, josh! i love how real you are with your audience.
- Mackenzie Heerdt: Now that Josh uploaded this I cab go to sleep. I've been waiting for it. 😂
- Lauren Clark: This is one of the best videos that I think exist so inspirational !!!! Thank you so much for this Joshua
- Courtney May: You're perfect to us Josh💕 Stay strong, we LOVE you!!!!!
- Makayla Collins: Love you Josh. I support you no matter what. Us dingleberries will always be there for you❤💩😎
- Gloria Rivera: Yes! Honestly, I'd kinda stopped watching your videos because it was obvious you weren't "in it", but THIS? I'm down for real honest shit. Do YOU Josh, I can't wait to see what's next!!
- Amy Allred: Thanks JoshuaDTV! This is going to be amazing :)
- Ymani Russell: This has also helped me. I've been trying to avoid being myself because I have been made fun of and mocked from it before. I'm realizing now that I am not happy trying to please everyone, especially my family. I'm proud of you Josh!! Keep up the good work 😊
- Maya Daniel: are you gay
- Lizzeke Mouse: You're a hero Josh! Thank you for your honesty. I hope that you are feeling better soon!
- Bern on Cars: Actually...?
- lovely _jde: I love how real and raw this video is. I genuinely want to get to know who Josh truly is. He gave such great advice that I will definitely be taking into my own life as I hope others do as well. I had to watch this video a couple times to really catch everything because every word of this is very important to me. I am incredibly proud of Josh and I'm so excited to see where this goes.
- laxmcglax: Not really on topic (but still is). I like how authentic Dodie is, and how honest she is. She's open with her depression, anxiety and depersonalization. She feels like someone who you could just sit down and have a deep conversation with because she comforts you on twitter and Instagram when you are having problems.
- crazycatlady: very well said
- Madeline Jacoby: Thank you so much for your honesty and bravery. You have been a role model of mine for years, and I am still proud to say that. I know the chances of you seeing this are unlikely, but if you do I want you to know it's people like you that I want to be like when I grow up. Much love and appreciation💛💛💛💛
- Marica Pasciullo: I'm early!!
- Rosabelle DuBois: man, josh, this is something i've been thinking about all of the time lately. i really commend your bravery and hope to see more of your you-ness soon. lots of love from tennessee
- Emily Pal: Love you Josh
- Lisa Torres: Thank you for being real Josh. I have been praying for you, I pray that God fills you with his comfort and peace as you heal. Every thing you are going through will just be a part of your testimony and your pain will be turned into beauty. God will never waste a hurt. God bless you and just know you're not alone, you're being prayed for and you are loved by God.
- Cloudy Amanda: youtube unsubbed me from you ! ughhh
- Amy K: 💜
- one lonely Dude: Talking with your hands: the movie
- Tajia LaRae: Yay, more of you! Can't wait! Pure honesty! Be well, handsome.
- Lauren Sutter: I left for awhile but I'm back. I'm ready for this new content.
- Hannah .Graham: Who ever said the divorce is fake clearly doesn't watch the videos. If someone faked a divorce for publicity then I don't think that is very good.
- Lisa Scott: Josh, It ok, to not be ok as long as you continue to move on and heal. I promise you are going to be ok. Things are going to be ok and you seem to be doing a good job healing. I love watching your videos, thank you for this real video. <3 Keeping being you, keep being Josh and if people dont like it there loss.
- dylan ricard: Josh, you need Jesus
- Katie thunderstone :3: BOO!
- Aparna Rao: this is an amazing video
- Sharon Tamayo: 2nd
- Elegant Elaf: Everything is gonna be okay..the people who cherish you the most is there for ya~~!!Be strong and happy please
- twelge15: Josh. If. And only if, there's skeletons you need to address over the divorce just dish em in the least dramatically affecting way possible. It's all you can do. Don't have somebody else who has potential dirt, who wants fame or needs the money, to pre empt you. This YT gig can be a lifelong one. This is a long haul journey. So, be as real as possible with the audience. It's always the least turbulent ride in the comments over the long run. You handled the breakup so well, here online. With total class and restraint. But, don't let any potential skeletons make things 100 times worse. Shaycarl is the extreme example now. I'm still pulling for the Shaytards, and Shay. Been a subbed Shaytardian since 2009. When Maker was "The Station 1 Commune". He showed up to Charles Trippy's wedding yesterday and faced the cameras. And, I'm proud of him for it! I'm not saying any skeletons you might have are anything remotely close to that. But, over the long haul, redemption is as sure as a large audience of women 15, 20 years from now who are 35 - 40 years old.
- Pencil Comet: 1. This is the most i've ever enjoyed you. 2. Honesty is always the best policy in my book. 3. You do what you gotta to be happy. 4. Your hair looks really good today. 5. You got this.
- Sleepy Perfume: I like d way how u r ... it's fine .
- Jewels Vlogs: I do feel so bad for you! I hope you met a girl that you will be with forever, it will happen :-)
- Charlie B: This summed up everything I miss about youtube and hate about what it is now. I really hope you continue this, there nothing better then genuine and honest content
- Morgan Mahoney: "be nice to people" includes being kind to yourself- and being true and honest with yourself. sometimes we forget that in the whole sceme of things, but i am glad josh is reminding us to remember that.❤
- Kayla Donovan: I appreciate that you are real and you should never have to ask the question if people will leave the real people will always stay with you
- Sarah Keenan: Beautiful...
- Anita Johnson: This is awesome Josh! So excited for videos of you as your complete authentic self😊
- Amber Dawn Lee Comedy Vlogs Artist: What? If your going to be authentic Im outta here, said no one ever-
- Aaron Domanais: love you josh, take care of yourself. sending love, all the way from the philippines. authentic connection right here, promise.
- Megan Anderson: I know YouTube is about getting followers and likes and this and that - but You be You and dont worry about what other people think. Its a freeing feeling... hard to do but freeing and so worth it to your soul!
- indi wags: This is perfect, so well said. It's okay not to be okay
- McrmyW00t: I am not a long-time subscriber at all. I actually found your channel because I just had my heart utterly broken and I was looking for ways other people coped. Your videos immediately caught my attention for how true and real they seemed compared to my experience. Thank you for being so relatable and genuine. It seriously gives me hope, and this particular video made me feel relieved to know that it's ok to not be ok.
- Lauren Bruce: finally
- Thalia Navarro: Hang in there Josh.. I hope you feel better soon🙏🏽
- Hailey Swift: It's great you're putting yourself out....
- broadwayyyxbabe: Josh! I have been watching you for about 4-5 years now, and this is my favorite content you've ever put out. You are the most interesting, compelling, and lovable when you are exactly who you are. This was beautiful. This is something I have personally been struggling with myself as of late, and this was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you 💜
- Shivani Deshmukh: looking forward to your new videos. I am here. I will be watching them!! Much love 😊

- Shana Jordan: I love you Josh I really hope that one day you are okay
- cloudana: Finally! This is exciting Josh, than you, because not only does YouTube need this but society as a whole. #getreal #beauthentic
- Nameless: Joshua just be you... if people do not like what they see, that's their prerogative. I for one like you just the way you are. Please never change just to please your audience. --- A nameless silent viewer.
- Richard Carr: I've posted hate on this channel before. i thought you were fake and i was right but after this my opinion has flipped. amazing video, amazing message. i look forward to the future of this channel. good luck Josh, this is how a real person should be.
- ss: Jocy Trujillo honey, I know it may seem rough right now but this is just a phase in life it will get better I promise you. Talk to someone you're close to around you and get these feelings off your chest and ask for advice but I promise you look to the future and realize this is a moment it will pass and much happiness in your future.
- Tahlia Argiropoulos: at first idk but I was upset about myself wen da divorce happened cause I wasent upset but now I em upset like cryin all da time
- Ruth Goddard: It's about time. Josh, I have been watching you for quite sometime now, and I could see you painting on the smiles, doing the random challenge videos. I'm am BEYOND happy you are breaking your mold and finally showing us who you really are. It's gonna be a big change, but you'll be thankful you did it.
- Alyssa Nauman: But he signed up for this. No hate at all.
