    • Thank you for your comment. I absolutely agree that Tyler is particularly relatable because he speaks from experience. Introversion can be very difficult and isolating, which is why it's great to see him connecting with his readers in a transparent way. It's interesting to me that people who are starting out in their careers might feel this way, because there is so much pressure to be social. But in fact, being shy and introverted shouldn't stop you from achieving your goals. There are many ways to network and make connections, and the more interesting and genuine you are, the more likely people will be to connect with you. Awn7mFktpB4

  • This was so incredible, although our channel is more from a middle wave starting in 2015, I could relate to every single one of these problems, from identity to anxiety, pressure to keep up and lack of prioritizing self-care. I want to really thank everyone in this video for speaking so honestly and vulnerably while putting words to certain problems I'll admit I hadn't fully vocalized myself. Every person here was someone I looked up to growing up, (for me personally Kassem G was a big one!) dreaming of one day being like them, then once I got here I realized that the experience is more nuanced than I'd thought. Continuing to find joy and fulfillment in the creative process however is what I have accepted as my duty and the "job" part that I have as a creative. Ultimately, the only cure I have found to most of this, is to make sure that the output matches my current state of maturity, even if it means changing and not delivering what the audience expects. Much love for this wild and unpredictable creative journey we are all on! There's a quote from Zadie Smith I read recently that echoes some of this sentiment: "We want our artists to remain as they were when we first loved them. But our artists want to move. Sometimes the battle becomes so violent that a perversion in the artist can occur: these days, Joni Mitchell thinks of herself more as a painter than a singer. She is so allergic to the expectations of her audience that she would rather be a perfectly nice painter than a singer touched by the sublime. That kind of anxiety about audience is often read as contempt, but Mitchell’s restlessness is only the natural side effect of her artmaking, as it is with Dylan, as it was with Joyce and Picasso. Joni Mitchell doesn’t want to live in my dream, stuck as it is in an eternal 1971…her life has its own time. There is simply not enough time in her life for her to be the Joni of my memory forever. The worst possible thing for an artist is to exist as a feature of somebody else’s epiphany." - Thomas

  • Tyler’s laugh was so nostalgic and when he said “hi everyone!” I felt complete. I haven’t watched him in a few years and to see him on here and growing so much and realizing he was just living as a character is so heartbreaking. I’ve felt like an imposter in my own work but to have it to this extent is so awful. But just hearing him laugh again suddenly sent me back to 2012 and me watching his videos to escape and to know he was doing the same makes me feel for him.

  • grace was such a huge part of my growing up and she is one of my favorite people on the planet. i think a lot of my humor and humanity comes from traits i picked up from watching her videos. so happy she was apart of this video i wouldn’t be the person i am today without her and her content ❤

  • Kassem made a really good point. Both sides of my family, dirt poor. My Dad hated that and moved us into a really nice neighborhood. Obviously, the issue was that we were just poor people living in a nice house. He spent so much money and time renovating the house and cars that he barely raised my sister and I.

  • Tyler was the first KZheadr I ever followed back in 2008 or 2009. I'm also similar in age to him. The kids might not have clocked it, but as a longtime viewer I could see the burnout and stress behind his cheerful persona when he was at the peak of his KZhead fame. I'm glad he's found a new passion in twitch. Tyler always thrived on livestreams - I'd know, I watched all the ones he did for his birthday fundraisers! He's a very charismatic person.

I never really watched Grace, but I’m wishing her so much care on her health journey. KZhead is really a form of expression and I’m hoping that all these people are able to heal from the unknowns of original KZhead.

  • Listening to Tyler talk about his KZheadr voice is actually kind of cathartic. I enjoyed his content back in those peak days, but I always felt a certain level of cringe at how upbeat and exciting it was, and then I felt bad about thinking that because it felt rude even though I never really voiced that thought. And now I can see that I was picking up on that discomfort underlying the performance, and it’s a bit melancholic, but I’m so glad that he’s able to be more himself now and even let the world know about this darker side to what was going on.

With how prevalent content creation is now, it’s easy to forget such basic things as “what you see on social media is a curated version of that person”.
