As a nerd and a neuro diverse person i feel that the big bang theory was the first sitcom that didnt make fun of highly-functional neuro diversity but laughted with the nerddom instead of at it. And Jim Parsons was a big part of that.

What an intelligent insightful person! A lot of people do not have the empathy he does. It's always a soul uplifting experience listening to him. Would love to meet him one day and just listen to him.
Such a great actor and exceptional human being! ❤
As much as I loved BBT, Jim chose the right time to non renew. The writers did an outstanding job in the final season. The last episode was incredible. I had hoped for a reunion holiday special, especially with the hints dropped during Young Sheldon.
He's a gentleman and a talented fellow indeed. His sensitivity sits equally with palpable strength.
I loved getting to see him as “himself”. So many times, I think people associate actors with the roles they play on tv / movies.
I'm very touched and grateful for the level of vulnerability Jim shared in this interview. He is truly an amazing human being ❤️🌈
That was one of the best 15 minutes I have spent this week!!!! This was lovely. gives me an even deeper respect for Jim.
I clicked because I was feeling bad and I needed some noise to fill in the silence. I ended up listening and crying. He sounds like a very sensitive and thoughtful person.
Jim Parsons had the most awesome facial displays when on the TBBT.... His sense of timing and facials were so on point.... He was pure comedic gold with the awesome cast members... For someone who was cast as socially awkward he sure made that role his own Im watching re runs to view all the episodes i missed....
Jim Parsons is an international treasure
I love all the care and passion he puts in every word, as if he knew somebody in the world needed to hear that ❤
I hope I meet him some day - What a guy.
He's actually a lot more insightful and emotionally intelligent than his character Sheldon. Quite a strong difference. Seems like a really nice and gentle soul.
I love Jim Parsons ❤️.He is a great actor and a wonderful person ❤️.
"If you ask people the main 3 or 4 things that really shaped who they are...being happy with who they are, they're almost all tragedies". Many authors explored this theme, and this is a great way to summarise the concept. Tough reality, but that's life. Going through tragedies and hurdles means going also out of the comfort zone that ultimately leads to improvement and new discoveries.
' I've always felt a little bit like a muppet' I have never related to anything more in my life.
He makes it easy to connect with him and his characters on screen. He has this precious courage someone needs to make a real impact. If I am lucky I will see him on Broadway at least once in my life
I love how mature Jim is and how he takes the time to think and appreciate everything he has done in his career of an actor. He’s honest and kind and I wish a lot more actors were like him.
I follow Jim since 2012, and he's such an amazing person, there should be more people like him. I wish him nothing but greatness in his life

Always liked him. Super talented. ❤
Such a pure soul. Live long and prosper, Jim.
Jim, Sir, that was amazing to listen to. I'm an older lady, lots of things have shaped who l am thus far. I understand you . Thank you for the many moments of insight that have shaped yours. It's very very heart warming.

He's a really good actor... His performance are phenomenal
i’m crying rn. jim is such a warm hearted, caring and brave person 💞💞💞 t’s a wonderful video and i’m so grateful for this actor. i should definitely watch the spoiler alert!!
He’s one of the few actors that I could listen to even if he wants to talk all day. There’s something about his voice and just the way he speaks altogether that’s somehow calming to me but at the same time, you would want to pay attention to.
Thank you for your candor, Jim! I identified with much of your journey. It’s true, I think, that the breaking pains of our lives are needed to open the door to an extremely full one. Thank you for making me thankful for mine. ❤
Good Lord Jim!! Everytime you were emotional I cried. You are beautiful...thank you for reaching beyond yourself and touching so many. Keep shining ✨️ 💛 💖
He is amazing. Love him!!!!! His iconic character, Sheldon, on TBBT....is one on my all time favorite characters on TV. He's a beautiful person. I hope he branches out more into other movies and characters. He's an awesome guy and actor!!❤
I respect him so much. My fondness to Sheldon over the years gradually grew into immense appreciation of Jim's performance. Wish him all the best and hope to see him in some great projects in the future.
The way he said “oh young sheldon” he clearly has so much love for this show
OMG, I was touched by very many things here, but "Give my husband a bed!!!" just made me cry!... 🥰💕
That was really beautiful to watch and listen. What a lovely man.
5:00 a fascinating point ive never considered 👀 most of the plays i’ve ever seen have been serious or upbeat musicals
One of the greatest actors. I would like to see him anywhere in anything. A big big fan.
He is such a sweetheart ❤️ Such an amazing human being...
Gosh, what a brilliant actor. Jim Parsons will and should go down in history for being one of the most talented actors of our time. I believe he brings something that I want to say hasn’t been seen. With that being said, nothing tops the kindness and soul he has, I can see his passion and the love he has for what he feels and believes in and it’s just beautiful to watch ❤ my heart aches for him and anyone else that has had to hide who they are or who they love ❤
He is such a lovely human being 💜
I love listening to him talk. What a treasure you are, Jim.
Jim Parsons is just the perfect type of person. He is the whole package 😊
Love that man . Such a beautiful soul .
Wow I adore his energy. He’s so present and really seems to take up the space that he finds himself in.
Sheldon is my favorite character in big bang so funny
He studied at my college UH 🙌
"It's not just that you HAVE to risk getting your heart broken, in order to live a full, rich life. It's really that you WILL get it broken by having a rich, full life." OMG
1:16 this is when Sheldon saw Amy in her swan wedding dress❤😢 just sounded so similar
I love your honesty, and you are absolutely right the tragedy in our life, teaches us to become ever so grateful for the happiness. It is the richness of sorrow that we can embrace love and treasure those great moments of happiness.
Beautifully articulated, amazingly honest and informative. Jim is awesome.
I could listen to him for hours. Lovely vibe and energy. I'm a big sucker for authentic people. It's a rare breed.

Parsons speaks like Sheldon in a sense of academic professor, his word choices, pauses. Ironically, he reminds me of JBP, no offense to both camps. His caring of details would make a great director of future blockbuster classics someday.
What a beautiful reflection. Thank you for sharing ❤

Jim Parsons' Sheldon made it easier for me to relate with and understand that if a character with that persona lives in someone's creativity (fiction, if not based upon reality), there would be others too. Thank you.
