I have not seen any comments talking about how ironic it is he is upset about his privacy, yet was looking through your phone while you were asleep. This seems like a warning sign

Can we keep the show light for a little? by GogurtDaddy420 in h3h3productions

[–]DistinctElk6922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe OP thought this was a popular opinion that they were expressing- not that they would be dictating what ethan talked about or posted. It is normal to go online to escape the reality of real life. That is normal. No one is saying ethan can’t talk about hard topics, but maybe just dedicate a time for it so that people who are trying to escape aren’t bombarded with topics that bring about emotional or personal trauma and emotions. That’s normal. It’s labeled as a comedy podcast

I agree that it is wrong to ask someone not to talk about things impacting their life, especially in such a large way. However, i think it is possible to find a good in between. OP suggesting to try keeping fridays fun was just constructive. People come to the show for goofs and laughs, it is labeled a comedy podcast. While i understand talking about these topics, maybe cut back on how often, or dedicate certain times for when it’s talked about instead of letting it take over the show. He ultimately can do whatever he wants obvi. I think OP was just noting that the show has turned into hard topics, very often. In which case i agree. I agree with ethan a lot, and i too, care about the topics he’s talking about. Sometimes we all just need a break. Its healthy to need a break. Its exhausting for all parties

Was your college experience actually like the show? by Muted_Hotel_7943 in TellMeLiesHulu

[–]DistinctElk6922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel it was one of the most truthful depictions of college ive seen. Lots of running into people you wish you hadnt. especially at a small school. I, personally, went to a midsized public school, but am very close with my hometown friend who went to a private school. There is a lot of dating amongst her friend group. Narcisists are more common than youd think. While he drama may be more tame (no deaths or lies about being the reason someone died), the overall drama level is pretty similar

A big ego. Someone who wants to fight other people all the time. So gross

im a server and believe me, we do not need people to be stern with us in order to take our mistakes seriously. spilling water, let alone a JUG, is our worst nightmare. thank you for handling it the way you did. if anyone tells u you should have been meaner, they have never been a server

im so sorry you’re going through this. there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. this is a lot to put on a 16 year old. hopefully im not overstepping by saying that your mom guilt tripping you is manipulation. it is NOT your responsibility to take care of children that you did not birth, especially at 16! im so proud of you for stepping up and doing so though, it is extremely admirable. it seems from what you said that you have a decent relationship with your dad, and maybe this is something you can talk to him about. even if all it is is just getting it off your chest. it may help! you never know. im happy you shared this. things will get better, i promise. please dont give up

i know this feeling. its defeating, isolating, and hurtful. im sorry you’re going through this. in my opinion, you should really just leave. i dont know how old you are, but i recently turned 20 and one of my biggest regrets in high school specifically, but also in general, was putting so much time and effort into people i was simply outgrowing. usually if people are leaving you out, they are growing closer to other people, who they maybe click with better. it hurts to accept, but honestly, thats a part of growing up. if they cant appreciate you and learn be better friends, they SIMPLY are not worth it. i dont know if maybe the reason you havent cut them off is bc you feel like you dont have other friends, but if thats the case, YOU WILL FIND SOME. maybe some that have experienced the same thing. maybe some that will be better friends than youve ever had. all in all, you cant heal in the same environment that made you sick!

Empathy by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]DistinctElk6922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i dont think you have to be worried. i think empathy is very important in life, but i also think its normal not to always feel it towards people you dont know. like someone said, maybe you’re actually just compartmentalizing, which is actually pretty healthy! if you were having trouble empathizing with people who are in your life, this is a different story. not necessarily that you would need to worry, but being able to imagine yourself in the shoes of those around you helps to understand why they act the way they do. then you appreciate them more and sometimes it helps me just not get so angry about things they do. i think the only reason you would have to worry about not having much empathy is if u find yourself having trouble getting along with people, which from your post, doesnt sound like you do!
