you’re way too sensitive!

I had a bad break down today in school because I got claustrophobic and everyone was like get over it it’s only 40 people no big deal but to me it feels like the world is collapsing in around me and I’ve been shrunken to the size of an ant. So please if someone is having a hard time with something don’t try to brush it off help them feel safe I promise that person will be so great full for the help and it will make them feel like they matter trust me

I can relate to this video. People at my school always say something like "why are you being so emotional just smile bro" when its not that simple. You help me through a lot Ashton, thank you :)

I once cried cuz my favorite teacher yelled at my friend. I also really hate yelling and i can be pretty sensitive sometimes.

I needed to see this video today. I've been feeling like my triggers have been getting worse recently, and being back at school hasn't improved things because people say things they don't mean that they don't realise are triggering - mainly because they don't know I have triggers, not that I make an effort to hide that fact, it's just difficult to tell people - and today I got triggered badly enough in one lesson that I spent the next hour crying on and off, trying to calm down, and just feeling really fed up and weak and frustrated at myself for having the problems I do. It was especially bad today because I was triggered by a teacher who knows the most about my problems and whom I trust a whole lot, and although it was just a mistake on his part I'm not going to feel as comfortable in my lessons with him, and yeah, I think the point I'm trying to make is that people need to take it seriously if someone tells you they have a problem, and be careful with what they say around those with problems.

Thank you, the last few days I have cried so much because I'm so stressed with school and college app essays, and I know it's my fault for procrastinating, but it doesn't help when everyone is just screaming at me for it.

New subscriber here..My teen daughters as well as myself have anxiety due to my ex being abusive..anxiety stinks....we support you..hope you have a great day

Omg thank you for this I have very bad anxiety and I've never been able to put it into words and the same thing happens with depression for me no I can just show people this when I'm having a breakdown

I deal with numerous mental illnesses and being a transgender male, so I understand. People have told me I am overreacting or I'm being oversensitive. Thank you for talking about what others are afraid to say

I love this video, thank you so much! 💞

really such an example you make me think i can be, and omg you look great, so fucking cool for gestures and face and that hair and your voice and adore you.

This video made my day. People at my school are so lgbtphobic and it makes me feel like shittttt.

hi your so amazing and inspirational thank you for getting me throw the hard times such as when my dad died or when i moved to highschool thank you

For me if someone is simply in a bad mood or say hi in a sadder tone then normal my automatic though is that it’s my fault. Once my friends went some where at lunch without telling me so I automatically thought they where mad at me and never wanted to talk to me again, so I hid from them for a week and I cried everyday cuz I though I did something wrong but it was literally them forgetting to tell me and it was stupid Okay that’s my rant cuz that sucked and this is a safe place

Thank you

I quite liked this video, I haven't watched your videos in ages, though its 12am and I have a aircraft training thing in the morning so I'll have to watch more tomorrow night 😄

I always felt so bad when I broke down crying when some one yells at me ;(( now I know that's okay lol

I appreciate you talking about this. As a neuro typical person myself, I think you have opened my eyes in a number of your videos. Could you please talk about what I can do to support neuro divergent people? What questions are appropriate to ask to help me understand those in my life that may benefit from some support? I want to do all that I can to help those around me feel safe and heard and comfortable, but I don't want to overstep with questions that may come off as intrusive. Thanks dude

Yes this is literally everything like my friend tells me “why are you so depressed there’s no reason to be’’ and the lists reasons why everything is “ok” and I try but it makes things slightly worse for me because why am I like this this is my fault and well anxiety takes over with the whys and I mean yeah I’m probably exaggerating but it’s just...bothersome to listen to that constantly because it’s so difficult to control and to try to fix

I come from a family of conservatives, and they are very chill and accepting! I promise not all conservatives are the negative stereotype. ALSO, thanks for making this video!!! I hate when people call me sensitive for things I can't control.

I don’t have Twitter but I’ll ask here: could you talk about how you manage to do schoolwork and cope along with mental illness. I am someone who takes extra classes and AP and all of that but with mental health issues it’s a struggle and I know it’s common issue. This was a great video as well sensory overload is such a big deal to so many, me included. Thanks for being wonderful and amazing and making such relatable and bold content. 🦕
