Man you’re a gem I’ve been watching you for 5 years🎉
The quality of production in the recent videos has been INSANE! It’s inspiring to see you striving to make already great videos even better! Keep up the good work man!
Thank you so much!
@@alexcostasir house tour video please
can you make a routine video for Muslims to follow in ramadan?
@@ttcthetechnicalck his not Muslim
@@ttcthetechnicalck yeah it might not be feasible for him to make a video on that.
I was struggling with most of these things as well and not giving a f*ck was the best solution. Guys improving is good but not giving a f*ck about things is also improving💪
Agree 100% Not caring what others think and not letting fear control you like that is better for you, and very attractive to others
You as a social animal(humans are), should care what others think. However, only worry about constructive criticism and not people who say "you're ugly", "you're too short" Shit you can change and people who tell you it in a nice manner @@AJ........
Having the right mindset is 🔑
Definitely
absolutely loved this video made me see the damage that i am doing to my physical and mental health instead of being the person that I want to be not a person i am trying to force to be love these videos recently they are amazing keep it up
Thanks a lot man
Alex I have to say. This video spoke to me. Some real shit !
FR
This means a lot, thanks
I’m so glad you made this video Alex it was time ! 🔥
appreciate Alex looking out for us
You're welcome
Thanks for the positivity Alex. Always wanted a buddy like you that talk about these deep stuff with irl
They're hard to find, but they're out there!
Many people need to hear this. Props 🙌
I have been watching Alex for almost 3yrs now..and this is the best video yet..thanks bro
Thank you Alex. For all these years. You helped me a lot in my journey.
This video will open eyes of youngsters like me Thank you alex ❤
I am 25 years old and only 5ft 1in tall. Lucky for me I found your channel years ago and worked on things which i knew i can changed and improve. Ever since i worked on other aspects of myself, i never face any sort of criticism for my height. Living a great life. Thanks mate
Loved this video, Alex. The first trap really spoke to me and I needed to hear it. Keep doing what you’re doing 💪🏼
The quality of content alex is providing is invaluable
My glow up journey began way back in 2019. I had lots of momentum and for a time I felt great… that has all changed. I now struggle with extreme self confidence issues and I have lost the ability to trust the process. I’ve lost the ability to be able to just focus on myself… I find myself comparing myself to others… telling myself I am not good enough etc. thank you Alex for making this video… this is a topic that is not talked about enough . ❤️
I'm glad this helped you out
I agree with you alex it’s not necessary to change you’re looks or appearance you just have to accept yourself for who you are there’s just some things you just can’t change about yourself or have no control over accept your flaws and insecurities because we all have imperfections and that is ok nobody is perfect
Bro the production is insanely good
Appreciate that man
Perfect quality video, thanks
Thank u so much alex. This release my pressure 😮
first and i just want to say that i love you Alex keep up the good work❤
I honestly stopped caring this year and it was the biggest relief. Tired of hearing about fashion trends, the 8 million skin care systems out there, hairstyles, the list goes on. I encourage everyone to just find what works for them and stick with it. Self development turns into a freaking never ending hamster wheel if you let it. I also noticed I received the least respect from people in general when I tried too hard or was wearing an outfit that looked too out of place even though social media would tell you it’s “on trend”
this was so needed currently 18 was genetically blessed for looks but ruined my looks in middle school due to no knowledge of anything , I just was very studious guy who knows only to study , started working on myself in 11th grade went from 6 to 8 8.5 in last two years but still felt like I have to be more perfect then I would be more confident and socially extrovert in the entire journey but turns out that even if would become 10/10 hypothetically even then it wont work .I have to push my inner self to go and be social , I used to avoid video calls of old friends thinking all the time that currently my hair is bit messed , lighting and background is not good , not well groomed now like this etc etc but this video opened my eyes thank you very much for this bro and guess what today I went outside and met with relatives and others cause today it was festival in my country INDIA talked to them , had laughter etc etc turned out that I was naturally extrovert only the thing was just my brain full of insecurities and thinking people would judge me if I would not look perfect . once again thank you very much
Thank you very much for this video Alex. this really spoke to me and helped me.
Never seen a more real video. Keep going AC. You're an inspiration 💪
Thanks man
I really needed to hear this. Thanks Alex.

Hey Alex, it's me again. I told you about my breakup in the comments section, in one of your videos and it's been 4 months in, I'm devastated still, can you make a video upon the same subject? I'll be extremely happy if you do so, I love your content Peace
love this video, thx Alex best among yours so far in 2024❤

As a man who has struggled with disordered eating and boy dysmorphia, this is real. I have struggled for years with this. I have had to work on my mental well being. I do well, then something happens and I slowly start again. I stay ever vigilant.

Make a new video for teens grooming I hope there is a lot of teenagers watching your channel need that
Thanks Alex
Workout routine video plz❤
If you go to the gym then never compare yourself to people at the gym, if you compare yourself to the average person in your town/city you would be shocked how incredible you look!
The thing is if you’re already fit and going to gym consistently you’re already ahead of the average person You don’t need to be the most jacked guy in the gym either most regular people just wish they could be fit
@@Ronin-kk4bt you are 100% correct, once i stopped comparing myself to fellow gym goers BUT the average guy in my town then it dawned on me, im in good shape
Thank you...
Hey alex it's a really helpful video btw what's the watch you are wearing?
avoiding trap 2 is a gamechanger
💯
Might be the best one yet guys
Thanks a lot man
Make a video on the best summer floral shirt dresses
AWESOME ❤
First Comment!!! Love you Costa ❤
Hi , i love your content.. love from lndia ❤ .. alex
Respect 🤝
I really liked the long hair Alex who wears shirts and sweatshirt , approx 4 years back
I literally have no issues with my looks at all, Im confident in myself and how i look. Im very well put together and im super clean and organized. If you take care of your personal health and hygiene and have good style then you have nothing to worry about! Just be confident in Yourself ❤💯
Awesome ❤
Love from India alex ❤ I am also 5,9 but 😅 before this video I also get insecured sometimes about my height, thanks for your efforts
Look maxing making people insecure because comparing themselves woth models and want to lok like them also affecting thier mental and physical health
This is because society treats you like shit if you are not perfect
Thank Big brother❤ I have little bit reducing hairline at age 18 what should I do suggest product or suggestions please ❤
Great video
Yes
Thanks guys
ThankYou Very Much
great video !
Glad you enjoyed it
@@alexcosta are you still using finasteride?
I feel the same. If i get a spot on my face i wont go out into public
yes, I often bought things that I didn’t need, I didn’t understand why I was doing this, no one cared anyway
The thing that I can't understand is that the looksmaxing guys say you should wear sunscreen daily but the general fitness ones says it can cause cancer. Whose advice should I follow?
Alex, I have started losing hair lately, I need your advice
Wanting to look better is natural but looksmaxxing really can be bad for one's psyche. Fixating over anything that much is going to cause problems, and this is worse since there's only so much you can do to change your looks. Vanity's a hell of a drug.
Great video..what brand is that shirt
Looksmaxxing is critical when you want to be handsome but you need to realize looksmaxxing take around 4 to 5 years
I was born 5'2, recessed jaw, long hooked nose, recessed maxilla, autistic and worst of all, not white. None of this stuff helps at all.
dang, sorry to hear that man.
You could've as pale as an egg and it'd still be over with those stats
Where did you get the long sleeve shirt?
Real Shit😮
really been insecure about my height really. Was always tall but stopped growing at 13 what advice would you give me?
You're still young. Work with what you got for now 💪
I am 23 never got a girlfriend that's makes me insecure, I lost any hope of getting into relationship I am sad and alone.
Alex is so beautiful 😍

Hey bro who edits your videos
I see Alex has gone to the dark side (of hair)
Love from india
Wow!
