I have an Abby in my trio of best friends (the other best friend is a lot like Priya funnily enough, I dunno if I'm similar to any of the characters). She's still one of the most amazing and most fun people I know. Honestly between the two of them I could never ever ask for better best friends.

One small detail I really appreciated was whenever Abby gets angry or mad she switches to Korean, like when she yells at the kids for throwing a piece of paper on the floor or when she mixed up the concert dates. It really added to her character and the movie as a whole.

Indeed. I'm not a psychologist so this is just an anecdotal experience, but I believe languages are intricately connected to emotions. I'm bilingual with Spanish as a native language and if I want to distance myself from an emotion when I'm speaking of it, I use English. Spanish just hits harder, gets to the heart. I'm pretty certain a lot of people can relate. Also cursing in Spanish is just so much more stress relieving

From a storytelling perspective, it’s actually a very good character trait that makes a lot of sense for Abby to love the panda, which I hadn’t realized until I watched this video. It’s pretty much established that the panda represents strong emotions, whether positive or negative. And Abby’s whole thing is to recognize her feelings and immediately act on them with no filter. So Abby must be really happy not just to see a fluffy panda, but also because it’s Meilin letting her emotions show. I don’t think Abby understands why Mei would want to keep her panda in, because she sees no reason not to act on her emotions, not to voice what she’s feeling, and Mei doesn’t do that often. So it just gets her really excited because she recognizes, deep down, that emotion aren’t bad and should be expressed, and of course, she loves seeing her friend have a free route to feel in the form of a red panda. Also, it’s a very cute panda. I do wish we'd had more time to develop Abby and the other side characters tho.

We're also like this when it comes to music - he likes loud, wild music, and I prefer softer, calmer music. Games, too - he likes bullet hells and boss rushes, and I like cozy games and farming sims. So maybe it's the same with Priya and Abby? Priya's low-energy, so she would prefer colors that would energize her, while Abby's high-strung nature would gravitate towards colors that would calm her down?

As an adult Abby the constant energy can lead to mild issues talking to people because my total lack filter truly has some of the best results that make my family nearly die laughing 😆 seriously if a had a pound for every “PHRASING!” Or “TOO MUCH INFORMATION!” I get from my sister I’d be able to move out already 🤣

Abby is literally reminds me of myself as a child. The only difference is my school labeled my hyperactivity and over-emoting as an "Anger Issue" because of one particular incident that I apparently threw a desk. (I don't remember it but that's what my parent's said) I went to one therapy session and they gave me a book about anger. I took it to heart and ended up turning into someone who has anxiety over if I'm being too expressive or not. I never felt close to kids my own age and up until high school would either hang out with people older than me (teachers/assistant teachers, counselor, est.) or younger than me (In the case of me being bullied in 4th grade and me being sent to lunch breaks with kindergarteners to prevent it.)

Unrelated to the video, but I’ve got a serious question that I’ve gotta ask. I’m still quite young, teen years, and I’m dealing with existential dread.

It’s causing problems everywhere in my life, I have very bad panic attacks, and I have recently put I minor hole in concrete.

@blu3cheesecake978

2 жыл бұрын

I'm not a psychiatrist, but a few years back me and a friend got hit hard with existential dread. From my experience, I think that existential dread is linked to a feeling of not having control, specifically over your future. As a teen it's difficult, you are burdened with the knowledge of the world but are still too young to influence it in any meaningful way. My solution was to try and establish more control over myself. I've worked to break habits that I see as counterproductive, while focusing on my goals for the future. My dread was based on the negative affects humans have had on the planet, so I made my goal to help save endangered species. Using this, I've tried to make a staircase of steps that will help get me there, so that I can feel like I'm working towards being able to influence what hurts me. And when I feel like I just need to do something or I'll go crazy, I've taken what opportunities for action I have. I started picking up litter because it represented me confronting the challenges ahead, and making a good impact on the world. Picking up litter is effectively my side quest. I have my sights set higher, but you cannot only focus on one goal, and it's a great mood lifter when you feel that your actions have made an impact. I don't intend to stop with the small hurdles, but they keep me going on the way to the large one. I hope some amount of this helps. Existential dread sucks, and though I'm not qualified at all I wanted to offer anything I could.

Firstly, I want to say that what you’re experiencing is /common./ Not “good” or “normal”-this is obviously impacting you in a way that makes it difficult to function-but what you’re feeling A LOT of people are feeling as well. You’re not alone feeling in feeling this way. Not the same root cause (mine is having physical health and comorbid mental health&trauma affecting my ability to be a financially independent adult), but my therapist has been working on techniques to calm myself before my symptoms get into a full attack. Basically, learning how to deal with chemical or thought spiraling (I disassociate to varying degrees so actual spiraling inner thoughts is pretty rare for me; I “hear enemy or boss music without music” instead and have to untense, work on my breathing (stop holding it/deep breathing) and make myself notice my surroundings (IF I’m not overstimulated. If I am then “sky&trees” and quiet works better since sound (and others’ emotions) overstimulates me, which makes my skin/muscles/nerves hypersensitive. (Internal or what my body feels like mindfulness techniques do NOT work for me-those can send me into a classic vs dissociative spiral.) Gently repeating a mantra of “I’m safe, I’m okay” (and hugging a cat that’s checking up on me LOL) also helps when I’m too overstimulated for Senses Grounding to work until my nerves stop firing and turning my vision “sparkly white edges and greyed out colors” But yeah. Georgia’s mentioned in some of her videos how Calm Breathing and Calming Mantras (like Pepa’s “Clear Skies, Clear Skies”) can help trick our brains into not flooding us with stress hormones. Then for me “okay so what can I do” helps for feeling like I have a bit of control not necessarily over my situation, but it feels like carving stairsteps to eventually climb out. But if that causes a panic (usually “I shoulds/why can’t I like everyone else” etc) then it’s time to distract/redirect. But a big one for me is just repeatedly accepting “this is how things are.” Not in a Gloom&Doom sorta way, but closer to setting it aside-carrying it isn’t helping me or anyone else. And like airliners doing the passengers’ oxygen mask training before each take off, you can’t help someone else if you’re struggling to breathe (although someone who is Trained and/or Okay can certainly help you get your “oxygen mask on”. As an internet stranger the best I can do is “read the manual” and explain my working-understanding.) And therapy /can/ help. But I’ll be blunt: it took reaching rock bottom and fully financially dependent on my parents as an adult and therefore qualifying for medicaid with my Really Bad Income ($0 🥲) before I /finally/ could begin to make therapy work. Why? Well…if I hadn’t aged out of my dad’s insurance (and cobra is astronomically expensive…so yeah. I had to just “make do” for a few years) I would not have had enough visits to even do therapy (dad’s company insurance only gave me 3-5 per year. You can’t do shit with that.) It also takes TIME beyond “therapy takes time to work” to find a therapist who’s actually qualified For You and works well For You. Sure you can try searching via your insurance’s site or Psychology Today (they allow you to filter by issues/specialty, insurance, and location/if telehealth is offered) or your local government’s site, but brace for it being trial&error (and if you can afford that. Which absolutely SUCKS.) But if you honestly cannot-check out Georgia’s Dow’s and Mended Light’s video library. Both channels have general therapy videos because access to therapy (and a fitting therapist) *is* such an epidemical problem (that literally doesn’t make sense-therapists are not wealthy in the way many medical doctors are, insurance is idiotic, and late-stage capitalism doesn’t pay really anyone enough to seek help unless they’re very, very lucky and have Actually Good insurance, have good medicaid, or they are Actually Upper Middle Class or wealthier.) Not to drop a bunch of Doom on you-personally I just really, really wish someone had been candid with me years ago verses muddling through on my own until I “qualified” for actual help. Biggest hugs (if hugs are your cuppa tea; if not, whatever’s the most comforting instead) and best of luck. You can survive this. Proof being you’re still alive and breathing. And for now that is enough. Take a breath. Right now, in this moment, you are okay, you are doing just fine. The rest can come later.

Abby is my child. And my genetics aren’t even Korean. She is my intense queen. People saying she has ADHD actually makes a lot of sense. This friend group is so healthy and balanced, I love it.

THIS is what true brutal honesty means

Do Tyler! First I thought he would be just another bully, but it turns out he is a lonely kid that wanted friends.

Could you PLEASE do a video on Zuko from Avatar The Last Airbender? Or even other characters, but Zuko most of all by a mile, because anyone who has watched the show knows there's SO MUCH to unpack about him.

I always look forward to your videos. They are both insightful and entertaining. Plus your cos-play never disappoints.

I love watching you nerd out about the characters you love, these videos are really fun!

Glad you like them!

My favorite character from this movie. It's always nice to see such emotional character.

I love this because it makes me appreciate little moments with Abby, I missed her sadness during the warm fuzzy blanket scene

It's so fitting that Abby, who's purely herself and has no mask or filter, is the one that loves the panda the most. The panda being of course, Mei's true unabashed inner self.

I really hope to see another Encanto-video of you talking about some of Pepa and Felix's children.

Being a really hyperactive individual myself (since I've got ADHD since I was a kid xd) I relate sooooo much to Abby, she's a little ball of energy and I love it

Thank YOU for your content. I'm learning so much, and I'll be honest, when I try to enact the takeaways from your videos, you've kind of become the defacto voice of kindness in my head when I try to remember to breathe and be kind to myself. It's because of you I learned what flooding means and that has made so much if my experience make so much sense. Ad for Abby, everything you've said about her applies to me, every single thing. I never try to be mean but people still complain (,somewhat fondly I think) that I have no filter, like when my roommate's friend bought cheap leather and I said it wouldn't last 2 years. Everyone said it wasn't fair because she was excited about it. I didn't think it would be a downer. I am exceedingly hyperactive and actually struggle to make time to peer even though my desk is 2 feet from my bathroom when I get going. Maybe a 25 year old shouldn't be an Abby, lmao. Thank you so much for creating this content! I even used your Curiosity Stream link to get Nebula! I always believe in unabashedly telling people the nice things you think so thank you! Your content is so compassionate and you are also very pretty! U live your dedicated cosplays in your videos as well. Thank you Georgia!

Aww appreciate you sharing this. It is what I hope to do and I love that I am your positive voice in your head. Thank you for sharing a part of your journey with me and I wish you all the best. Thank you for being a part of my community.

i love that some videos are just for Dr. Georgia to enjoy, and I also love hearing "Personality type" instead of "Personality disorder" when talking about ADHD and Autism

Thank you for appreciating me and liking that I am sometimes just happy to do it. And I think that we shouldn't give negative labels it can be damaging and become an identity for ppl

I love your commitment to dressing as similarly to characters as possible, very lovely to see each video

As a adhd squirrel. I have to say Abby and your comments resonated so much. Like advancing actions before words are finished or so and express things without filter. I love it.

I like how you actually paid attention to the friend group because it's always just "oh their really supportive now more about mei"

I have been waiting for this❤️😆

Thanks…I enjoyed your insight on Abby. Blessings on your day.

Weird comment but I'm always so impressed by the outfits/looks you manage to put together to fit the character you're talking about.

I love that you cosplay in your video! Great job.👍

Great video on Abby. You caught something special about her that I missed. I love her too now.

You are so adorable and your voice is so gentle and something I wish I could be relatable to. You cast so much light with your exuberance and I wish I had someone to talk to that was like you when I was young. I think my childhood would have been different I think my adult outcome may have been extraordinarily different. You're on a different plane (of humanity) and thank you for being here. I just love how you see the best in everyone. ❤️

My filter is a goddamn brickwall most of the time 😅 So I love Abby's energy is something I like a lot

Finally got around to watching Turning Red today. I have to say, from the promotional materials, I was not a fan of Abby's character design. Then I got see her in action... She's f***ing great! She's a pudgy little berserker, and I think that's awesome!

I love that you make these videos based on other media, it makes it a lot easier to relate to certain topics for me as an autistic person. Sometimes when I’m with a therapist and they explain something it’s very difficult for me to grasp what they’re saying because they don’t provide examples

Abby was absolutely me as a tween! I grew up in Toronto as well. There are way too many parts of this movie that resonate with me! It was lovely!

I think we all have a little Abby somewhere inside of us

Great video as always, I'd like to see your perspective on the new show, Smiling Friends. There's a ton to unpack with that show. 😀

Lol yeah I caught her trembling in that scene too. Was only focused on her in that scene because I wasn’t sure if my eyes were deceiving me at first or not, but yep. It’s like she has so much energy and thoughts bottled up, she’s just waiting for the chance to add something in the conversation once Prya finished her point lol.

Aaaaaabbbbyyyyy! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ She makes me instantly hype. Her energy is infectious.

me too

i used to mask my adhd grades 6 (moved to a new school)-12 to fit in. I still do it now but to a lesser extent. Seeing somebody like abby in media makes me actually happy because she isn't hiding who she is and it's wonderful to see.

I think I'm a mix of Mei because of the family situation and behavior, and Abby, most of my personality is like that, maybe a little calmer, and I'm also the smallest and most affective physically of my friends

Abby is my child, and my genetics are not even Korean. My headcanon is that she has ADHD. As someone who is ADHD-symptomatic, I love how intense and sensory Abby is and how their friend group is so healthy and accepting.

Abby was my fave of Mei's friends.

I love your costume, i love abby personality, i love this movie and this channel too
