the same folks who were raised with elmo are the same folks struggling right now. It's a lot easier to relate to a character from childhood than a stuffy old psychiatrist who is judging you, inherently, by the profession. I dont think we need psychiatrists and therapists, I think there's a market for a professional friend. Kind of like how the cuddling professionals became a thing, I see friendship professionals being a thing in the future.

I too can speak in character and maintain a cute calm composure! And you know why? It’s all because I own five REALLLLLY cute tops AND they look AMAZINGGGGG on me! When in doubt put others first and don’t be selfish but maintain ownership over those five cute tops!! Elmo for the win! Also have you been to that hot new cafe downtown? The one everybody’s talking about? I thought their mochas were decent but boy oh boy their cappuccino was top notch!! It tasted even better because as I sipped it I was wearing my second favorite cute top! See how that works??? I invite you to join me for a latte but don’t bother showing up if you’re not wearing a cute top. Call me the cute top police I guess but it’s just so essential. That’s actually one reason why Elmo is less iconic than he could have been, because he’s not wearing any tops at all! Imagine if he wore a cute top he’d be the president by now. He’s amazing with tops on I just feel it!! So how about that latte on Saturday? Let’s do it!!!!
Crying because hearing Elmo speak about all this is healing! My inner child is so happy, thank you Elmo.

I’m glad somebody said it
A lot of people aren’t asked how they’re doing so props to Elmo for asking. Kindness goes a long way.
This massive response was a reminder how checking up on each other is extremely important. Sadly, we've forgotten how to interact with others and be present. One little guy from our childhood made one little tweet and it had a big, heartfelt ripple effect. Elmo, thank you! 💖
“Your gonna be 3 and a half again” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how they had the parent come on with Elmo. Great real-life example of how parenting is.
I've been so burnt out and mentally exhausted for my entire life that I no longer think I even have emotions anymore. Even when I breakdown into tears it feels like a conditioned response.

Both his parents were in the “explaining the death of a loved one to kids” video
I think is so sweet that Elmo is just checking in to see how everyone is doing in the World! That is what makes Elmo unique and lovely :)
Elmo brings me nothing but secure happiness.❤❤❤
A lot of people who grew up watching and loving Elmo are adults now. I'm 24 and I was very much an Elmo obsessed kid. I still really like Elmo, he reminds me of the kids I work with and they love him too. Hearing, what I know is just a puppet at the end of the day, say "We all have lots of emotions and it's ok to talk about." still made me tear up and hit that inner child in me. I think a lot of the replies were genuine, I don't think everyone was just trolling or dunking on Elmo. A lot of people don't have anyone in their life who checks in on them so seeing this sweet childhood comfort character ask just stuck a cord. Like he said "It's important to check in on your friends." and maybe check in on strangers too. You never know who needs to hear that.
Thank you to who ever played the dad for Elmo he finally said emotional well being is just as important as your physical health I WANT EVERYONE TO GIVE A STANDING OVATION FOR HIM! And the show for putting this out
Every time I hear Elmo speak it makes me want to cry. Such a huge part of my childhood and he’s just so darn cute.

So many people needed this question and for it to feel genuine. We have become so disconnected from others due to work, goals, struggle to support self and family that it became an overwhelming burden to see that there are other people in our communities that struggle similarly to ourselves and offer a kind word.
I saw this yesterday, but somehow I felt this very healing just from hearing what Elmo had to say.

I love this. I love when Elmo said it’s ok to have different feelings. Sometimes it’s hard for us to share what feelings we are having and it just helps to know that someone out there cares.
He's a sweetheart!

I still love Elmo as much as I did as a child.
i think the reason so many people gave their true feeling is because, we all trust Elmo. he is a dear close friend to all of us who grew up with him. its not often that a friend will ask how we are really doing.

Hearing Elmo say it’s okay comforted me ❤❤
How can you not smile when you see Elmo? Although, the one tweet that said, "We are tired," covers it.
After 30 years Elmo still cares about me 😢😢😢😢😢
Why did this make me tear up a little? I really do wish every body the absolute best and happiness.🥺🤗
I'm 33 years old watching this at work. It's so innocent that it makes me emotional!
I'm a grown man, and that triggered me. Everyone needs to know there's someone they can talk with.

@@user-se7rd6cm6qok boomer Look when you’re having a hard time, “finding god” isn’t always the answer. Talking to someone, either a friend or a therapist, can be very helpful. And maybe it can redirect you to god, but just saying “oh talk to god” to someone going through it is very dismissive. It’s why church attendance is lacking nowadays. And you know what, good. I don’t think god would be too happy with Christians right now. Also if we addressed issues like poverty and the messed up healthcare system head on, maybe we would have less issues, eh? Does Love thy neighbor as yourself only apply to the upper middle class? Please leave your own swollen head for a second and put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

I just turned 42 back in November, and still Elmo is 3 1/2 years old. I guess it’s true that some of us just don’t grow up, and for Elmo that’s just fine. But on to Elmo’s tweet, I thinking it’s wonderful that he wanted to know how folks are doing. It’s hard out here in these streets. I wish I could say that things in my life are fine, but they aren’t. However, I have really wonderful people in my life just like Elmo. Thanks for making me smile today,Elmo. I needed it. We love you, Elmo. And Happy Early Birthday!!

Fr oh my gosh I’m getting emotional 😭 this is so sweet and important especially for someone who’s going through something.
Between this and that SNL sketch, I’m convinced that not only am I not the only one who feels not OK… everyone else is muddling through life in their own way, trying their best to focus on the good and bury the bad. It’s also strange how, in this hyper-connected world, I feel more alone and weird than ever. But in some way or other, just about everyone is struggling.

This touches my heart so much Elmo is happy and kind and it hurts that everyone is mean to him he’s my hero from Sesame Street and remember wellbeing is important and talk about stuff with family and friends and that you’re not alone
I always loved Elmo’s laughter as a kid, it always cracked me up… I’m 25 and it still cracks me up 😂
Elmo, We 💗 You! Thanks for Checking in. You have such a BIG 💗 for such a Lil Guy. You are so Sweet and Kind. 🤗
My grandson turns 18 this month. I have s many fond memories of watching Elmo with him. He had all his DVDs! I memorized a lot!
