I feel like a lot of people could relate to her, I know I can. Friends never came naturally, and I have friends now but even then I’m a bit distant from them. Can’t wait for more!!

You just wrote down my thoughts exactly… and that’s not exaggerating

dont ask me why the phone changed color 💔 there was a giant boulder crushing down my legs EDIT : got the clock wrong too its supposed to turn 00.00 💔 i am an idiot

also great animation and message I feel it 100% I was hella social but as I grew up idk the friends just kept showing up thin

I genuinely love the stories you tell I really relate to her by not feeling my age and feeling distant as time runs past me

the worst part about being able to relate to this so easily is knowing that even when i relate with you, the same thing would happen if we were friends. the connection would just be missing. Nobody wants the connection to be missing, but its not something that just attention can mend. I hope you can find someone you truly love to be around, but i think that every year the expectation gets higher and the letdown gets worse. that's how I feel, anyways

I feel her to an extent tbh. Also love your style

This is amazing, great job! Music and art are 10/10

Noooo she’s so sad This animatic is amazing though, good job!!

by the way, i think this video describes something that i feel too very well, and the animation is good, it's underrated! (kinda just my thoughts) I'm also the quiet kid, I'm 14. i have social anxiety, but i always kinda expect that someday, I'll just begin socialising a lot, and get some friends.. but when I started watching this video, i realised that i don't have any specific date in mind, and when it kinda comes and kinda doesn't, i will just be too scared and say that it hasn't come yet. and in the end i won't have any friends. maybe i should just go outside tomorrow and make some shit friends, even if i find them stupid, even if our interests are nothing similar, i can't just wait. but I'm used to avoiding any contact, so it's very hard to do something you haven't done in ages. in my childhood, all my friends were friends of my sister, with whom i didn't really have to maintain friendship. i only had 2 friends that i didn't meet through my sister, one in the kindergarten (i don't remember how i got friends with her, and i also used to be not that scared of socialising then!), and ine in primary school (the 3rd or the 4th grade, idk), and i actually think making friends with me was her initiative.. and when i got out of kindergarten or primary school i stopped talking to them. i think i was actually pretty relieved i didn't have to maintain my friendship when i stopped being friends with my second friend. and anyway, i don't think our friendship even lasted long. yk it's good that if i go outside and show everyone my awful social skills and embarrass myself, I won't be a huge part of their life and they will forget me soon if i only talked to them for one day. but i feel like they don't want to talk to me, and I'm probably right, cause nobody makes friends by going on the playground and saying hey let's be friends what's your name, right? but what's the other way then, trying to do the same thing but in school? please help me because have absolutely no idea how to make friends, oh wait I'm writing that in English and you're probably from the other side of the planet, yeah i should probably ask someone else about that, but anyway help me. my will has increased i guess, if i can take i cold shower, then i will probably be able to talk to one of my peers..

Hey, sorry this message may be a bit long too. This video series is largely inspired by my real life experiences -- so believe me when i say you're not alone in your situation. I want to give you some of my advice as a fellow socially anxious person as well :) though you're free to just skip it. Social skills aren't really something that comes naturally to most people. It's something that develops from practice. Personally for me, i never really got the chance to develop it highly because of my lifelong introversion. Usually, friendships are something we have to put an active effort on. For me, that effort rarely ever comes to fruition. For years, i've been rejected and shamed publicly countless of times by people i've tried to befriend before. It doesn't help being neurodivergent since i'm horrible at masking. In one of those years, i had managed to find one person i was able to befriend, and they were just as quiet and nerdy (sorry) as i was. Even then, i still have to actively put on my work to keep the connection going over the years. Being the first one to greet them, ask them for their socials or to hangout, start the conversations, etc. They are still my only friend to this day. The point is that QUALITY bonds take time and effort on both sides. Taking small steps like greeting a deskmate or borrowing them an eraser is a good starting point. If they turn out to be assholes, just know that it's their loss and move on. But no matter what happens, don't beat yourself up! It's better to have little to no friends than having shallow and toxic people wasting your kindness away. I recommend watching other youtubers who's going through similar situations for motivation, like Via Li and Kate Eveling. If you're a fellow neurodivergent person, check out Maria the Bluebird! The internet is a good place to remind us that we are never alone in the world.

@@braincanister thank you so much!! i really appreciate your advice, you're so kind ❤️

absolutely gorgeous colours in this, and linework

this is so cute!!! that’s weird to say about something so melancholy but it is!!! your style is delicious. this whole thing makes sense and sells without the text, too, which makes for a wonderful form of storytelling!!! subbed 💗

This was beautiful. I can relate very much to this as a 26 year old girl loser 😂 I’ve been trying to wake up to that childhood joy for a while now, i think it IS possible it just takes more intention than it used to. Wishing you well ❤

Weird to see something this well made with so few views, hope you end up seeing the success you deserve!

I relate to being lonely as an adult and feeling happier during childhood. I think feeling depressed might make one think they're alone as a child as a bad thing but I wasn't alone as a child, I was surrounded by a community of people like me, and my family and friends (whether through KZread videos or in real life). Now I am really alone and realize all the horrible things about adults. It seems to surround me. I want to forever hold onto that nostalgic feeling of happiness but I can't even remember what it really felt like anymore. I don't have anywhere to go when depressed and lonely. Anyway, I felt like I was never alone as a child. I noticed and focused on everything that inspired me or made me feel happy, or something that resonated with me. As an adult I can only notice what triggers me or hurts me most of the time, and I'm not okay. I feel like I relate in the sense that I get the surreal feeling that everyone is alone and I don't really like it. It feels alienating. But as a child I was hopeful and thought even if it only exists in my dreams, that means it has a chance of existing to humans, right? I believed in myself more than I do now. So much more trust in myself. I miss that. I can fantasize about having a best friend in stories. I can pretend that other people are similar to me even when, as an adult, I can only dreadfully realize how different we are, and all the divides, making me hurt everywhere and feel like I don't belong anywhere. But that usually happens if I'm exposed to bad people on the internet... I'll try to do activities like I did as a kid and survive. I feel so far away from my kid self and it makes me cry. I'll keep living for my kid self though. ❤ Here's hope to taking care of myself.

I can't wait to know more about Athy! It's very hard not relate to her to some extent. I love your art style and the story too! Thanks for sharing this 💖🌷

Thank you so much for your honesty, it's so brave of you of not being afraid to be vulnerable. Bc of you someone might feel less alone in this world🫶 And I'm so sorry that you have to feel that way:( u don't deserve it Everyone deserves a friend, and you too You deserve someone who would understand you And I know, that you'll have it someday. I'm sure of it You deserve to be happy Thank you for your love, honesty and sincerity. You are not alone🧡 _(Sorry for my English xd)_

bro I like your animation, your story is somewhat similar to mine, even the character from the video is somewhat similar to me in 6th grade and i like your style, don't stop drawing🌷

Ah, neurodivergence

damn...... i relate a lot to the feelings described near the end

Great animatic! Love how you were able to tell a story with not just images and text but also the change of colors - how young Athy has way less color makes her more dream-like, which fits how distant those memories feel to her and how very little of it she still remembers to this day.

I love the way you portayed how athy feels in this, i genuinely love your characters and your art sm :)

this is extremely pretty. i love the style!

I really like your style and this video resemble exactly how I felt a couple of years ago... I hope your doing good❤

Very relatableeee! I’m right there with you when it comes to friends. Having no friends never felt like such a burden until society started shoving their norms down my throat that “you absolutely NEED friends to be happy! If you’re alone or an introvert, you CAN’T be happy!” Which I personally think is ludicrous. Friendship can be overrated, honestly, I do better on my own. Friends can easily disconnect, friends can easily fight, friends can easily leave...it can easily be a burden. Just know that friendship isn’t required to be happy, you can be just like your young self. Find the peace and joy of being independent 💛

Your art style is so cute and unique, I love the hues of yellows and oranges it’s so soothing to look at, I love athy 😭💞

I'm Living this story 🙃

I love the animation. And the story. I find it pretty relatable. Just one feedback though although it's not a very huge one - The text vanishes far too quickly. I know anyone having a problem with that can just pause and read but in my humble opinion that takes away from the whole experience. Maybe stay for just a second longer for the wordier ones? I don't know, just something I felt personally and thought I would let you know. But overall, I love this :) All the very best!

Goddammit this is relatable

Just turned 18 and ngl, ive already been feeling like this 😭😭😭

Words disappeared so fast it was hard to read, but what I read was really sad

I heard a car scrape against a bumper today and for some reason found that amusing for me to smile Also deja Vu but I feel like I've seen this before

Ever since the invention of devices, loneliness has gone up rapidly over the decade

Holy crap this is beautiful ❤❤

Keep making art!

ure very talented

Does anyone know the song? It sounds so familiar. Would really appreciate it!❤ Also, great animation! Hit me pretty hard. I like the use of thoughts (words) being mixed with the visual animated story telling. The whole thing just ran real smoothly together.

you dont need friends just inspiration who cares what uninspired losers think of you you can live more intensely than them without them

Im actually not that inspired

:) I really think it's awesome - I totally thought like that in 1st grade

Really well written and illustrated, I look forward to seeing more in the future if there will be any! I especially love the use of warm colours and the movement throughout the panels, though I will admit that the writing did sometimes pass to quickly for me to read, this can easily be worked around with a pause of the video. (but it's just something I thought I'd point out, haha) Overall, really well done, great job!

This was amazing and I can relate hard... One thing we don't have in common is i'm not a amazingly talented artist, you're going to go far.
