For me it definitely hurt seeing Sean wanted to retire considering I’ve been a fan since I was 12-13 but now being 23 and going through my own mental health journey and getting better at not getting overwhelmed and constantly having anxiety but that being said I understand why KZreadrs want to retire because to put in perspective the idea that you’ve been your job for years almost a decade and you have to constantly meet the expectations to reach your audience and having eyes on you at all times and knowing your every move I can understand it can get overwhelming and that doing something for so long it can burn you out so if Sean or any of my other favorite KZreadrs retire I will respect it because I feel he deserves to be happy and have his own life but I’d also like him to know he’s loved and he also has impacted people like myself more than he realizes just for one example if he didn’t share his diagnosis with adhd i wouldn’t be looking into it myself or working to see if I have a autism diagnosis as well! I wouldn’t have worked up the courage to looking into therapy for my anxiety around 3-4 years ago now so weather he sees it or not I’d like for him to know he matters his impact has changed me more than he realizes 💚💙

This is going to be a long comment so sorry in advance. I completely understand what you're saying. You are totally right about how much they all inspire us and keep us going. From the creator side you are also on point. I am on tiktok creating and I only do it because I have a passion to share Mark's stuff and make people happy and enjoy watching his funny moments, sad moments, and sweet moments. You inspired me so much. You are the first fan account I started following before I started creating content. You made me want to do it because you made me laugh so hard or just awww about a cute or sweet compilation. So thank you so much for giving me inspiration. I too have depression and anxiety and the only reason I am here is because of Mark, Amy, and Sean. So thank you again for making this and speaking for us fans!

I’m actually about to cry this made my day. Thank you so much for supporting me and I appreciate is much. I’m so extremely grateful for you and it means a lot you took the time out of your day to watch me. It means the world and we’ll through it together 🥹❤️

It’s kind of scary talking about your favorite creators

Taking care of yourself is upmost important…..and that goes without saying for someone like Seán, if he wasn’t to retire we all should understand - Don’t be sad because it’s gone, be happy that it happened is my motto about it 💚💙 _ I saw Seán in Iowa City, Iowa with my grandmother when he toured in 2018……and he really helped me throughout 2017-2018 and now I wanna help him and pay him utmost respect, i hope he knows he has helped millions including myself and yourself and everyone who may see this video or comment….even us who have drifted away from his content, although I can’t speak for all….I care about him still, I still pop into his channel every so often to see how he’s doing and make sure he’s alright (in the way you’re able to through being a fan) I just hope he knows how much he means to so many people. - I really want Seán to know he’s human, and we all need to respect that

Thank you for saying all I've been wishing to say in my head, I agree with everything. I miss this sense of community of the past, and I hope this video pushes more people to start being themselves unapologetically, which is the whole reason we love Sean and Mark and so many other creator's. Thank you for this video ❤

I really hope that Sean sees this video. Sean will read comments, absolutely he's that kind of person who will want to connect with his community, but his mind will most likely brush off some of the positivity since they are people behind a screen. However, if he sees your face and how much you care about him and your understanding, he'll feel a lot more comforted.

The other big factor is the fact that the people that were huge fans of him (and others) back in 2015 are now all grown up and most likely working and/or in college 🥲 it now feels like the tight friend group back in school is starting to break up in their adult lives and become more and more depressed. I really don’t want to sound like I’m being rude towards him and other creators, I have them to thank for my positive attitude towards my creations and career.

Great video! You talk so real and open here, love it and it’s so true what you’re saying 😊

I love the fact that you are just so genuine and honest in sharing your thoughts and feelings with your community. I have been subscribed for a little while, and I just have to say in just the time I have been subscribed to your channel, I have seen you staring to come into your own as a creator and if no one has said this to you recently, I am proud of you for all the heart, soul, thoughts, time, and effort that you have put into your channel. Most importantly I am proud of you as a person for being true to yourself. I have a feeling you're going to go a long way in your life and career, and I hope you enjoy every step of the journey surrounded by people who will be there to support you and are truly there for you. I wish you nothing but the best.

This means SO MUCH. Honestly about to start crying. You’re so incredibly sweet. It’s people like you that inspire me every single day to keep going with it. Thank you so much for supporting me. I can’t express that from the bottom of my heart enough. It means the universe and I’m proud you’re here for the ride ❤️💕

I totally respect whatever he wants to do. He has done above and beyond for us for over 10 years and he deserves to be happy, healthy and do everything he wants to do with his life. I respect whatever he decides to do. Having said that, on the selfish side of things, I will be totally bummed when he retires. It already hurts that he rarely uploads anymore. I’m different from most of the fan base I imagine. I’m actually older than Jack. I’m 43. About 10 years ago my youngest son showed me and his older brother one of Jack’s videos. I can’t remember if it was a skate 3 video or a goat simulator video but I remember laughing until I cried. He was hilarious and he became someone my sons and I enjoyed watching by ourselves as well as watching together. During that time I was going through a dirty and bitter divorce and it was brutal on me and my poor children. Their dad is not a good person and he put us through hell. Having 10 plus minutes of watching Jack gave me and my kids an escape, a way to get away from the horror of real life. My sons and I all suffer from depression as well and I have gotten so low I couldn’t get out of bed literally. A lot of people don’t understand that kind of depression because it is real and it’s not just laziness. Watching Jack and watching Felix were the only things that gave me a glimmer of normalcy and happiness. Jack helped me through more than he will ever know. Later on my oldest son met a girl (who is now his wife)who was also a jacksepticeye fan and I took all of us to see him live in Atlanta. It was a blessing. Jack and Felix have been my comfort for about 10 years. They both have brought me comfort, peace, laughter, memories with my kids and will always have such a special place in my heart. I will respect what he wants to do and I know he has a lot of physical issues going on and has other things he wants to pursue. It will crush me though I can’t lie. I love him to pieces

Its very nice to see you talking about his video and sharing your response and view on things i watched it to and in a way i could relate to what he was saying I'm sorry you got bullied growing up i got bullied alot to! And no one should have to go through that ❤ I'm also very glad i started following you and and watching these videos you make its been a Joy seeing you create stuff i wish you the very best .

I’m so sorry you experienced as well. Thank you so much for supporting me. I’m so lucky to have people like you and it’s a joy to create for you 💕❤️

Thank you, as a fan of Sean myself I’m so happy that fans are speaking out about this because honestly I don’t think most of us will be the same when his KZread chapter ends, he has helped me so much as well with a lot of stuff since I was 13 and he was my escape. So it’s going to hurt like a bitch when it’s over cuz that’s when we grow out of the safe space ya know… it’s breaking my heart

As much as it would hurt to see Sean go i understand why he would need or want to go yes we don't want him to go but if he needs to we have to understand and accept it will hurt but ive seen over the years he isnt enjoying it as much as he used to and if he cant continue to post and make more content we will always be able to go back to his old videos we'll never forget him we can just all agree we love sean and would hate to see him go

truth i agree

I don't comment much on your channel or much of anywhere really unless I'm compelled to do so. This is one of those times. Like you said, it definitely is a sort of parasocial relationship, but I cannot deny the amount of times I've felt safe or comforted watching Mark, Jack and the other boys playing random games and being their silly selves. I don't know what I would've done in some of my darkest times if I didn't have them to distract me and even make me laugh when I'm crying about something. And I'm sure that there's at least ONE fan out there for almost every such creator, who has felt like they were watching their friends. I cannot understate how much I want to thank all of them, especially Mark for just being there. I always feel like I'm in a safe space while watching him and that's something irreplaceable to me. He is also my creative inspiration, in his awesome works like WKM and the whole "With Markiplier" series and how he pushed himself from being a small time creator to making a Hollywood movie! I'm sure that Mark, Jack or any of the others cannot even fathom the amount of impact they have on the lives of other people and a simple "Thank you" cannot fully express the gratitude that we feel, but still... I hope they know and are always reminded of how meaningful their works and lives are to us. Anyway, gonna go watch some Prop Hunt now. Thank you once again. And thank YOU for making this video for all of us.

You are gorgeous!! Im so scared for mark and jackseptic 😖
