hi everyone it's Dr to
54 in this rant like my previous one I'm
going to talk about how something has
caused me to have some rough days for a
certain period of time my previous rant
was on crushes which means I talked
about how stressful can be to be
attracted to someone especially if they
feeling as unfamiliar for you like it
was in my case in the first 2 months of
2024 today it's going to be from
something that goes further back in
time something that happens too much on
YouTube is people starting drama with
each other I see a lot of small
YouTubers blaming other YouTubers for
doing things which causes everyone to
start hating them and the blame
eventually gets passed on to someone
else or Worse some awful person on
YouTube will purposely give someone else
a hate Base by telling lies about them
the fact that anyone would have the
audacity to do such a thing is
disgusting on the website known as the
top 10s I started messaging a friend
online frequently in
2021 this never became a problem until
October
2021 throughout that month he was
getting Cyber Bullied on YouTube and he
kept telling me about it for me it got
frustrating because I felt like he
couldn't get a break from having a bunch
of terrible days since September 2021
started eventually after the bullying
started in October people were
slandering him by editing his comments
to make others believe my friend was
publishing the slanderer private
information one night on the 21st to be
exact it got to the point where my
online friend was telling me he was
depressed and I don't mean depressed as
in just feeling down
I mean he was having clinical
depression he sent me some disturbing
things through text once he described it
to me and it just kept getting worse
this resulted in me having a panic
attack that
night this was the first time someone
was telling me about a serious mental
health issue they were having and I just
couldn't believe what was
happening I really hope whoever did that
to him has changed his ways because what
he did was absolutely disgraceful
if this story sounds familiar to any of
you I talked a little bit about this
story in part two of my atypical
neurological connections
videos I was having trouble the day that
followed it as well because things
weren't completely resolved yet my
school went on a trip to the farm that
that next day on October 22nd 2021 and I
didn't enjoy myself to the full extent
because I was still festering over what
happened the night before
then I found out in the
afternoon that my online friend was
still getting bullied by the same person
and what made it worse was I saw a
certain word around his YouTube name in
parentheses which has a similar meaning
to depressed but 10 times
worse I'm not sure if I feel comfortable
saying what the word is
here I kept thinking about it all day
and my parents were worried about me to
the point where they almost had me show
them my conversation with that
friend fortunately the 23rd ended up
being a much better day for both my
friend and I however this YouTube
problem has affected some other days
from
there the next one was in November 2021
on the
6th the sister my stepdad John was
having her wedding that day and I
thought it was going to be a happy
moment I decided to make one quick check
of my messages on the top 10 right
before the wedding started thinking that
if I had received any messages they
would be normal but unfortunately I had
received multiple messages from that
friend saying that he's getting bullied
on YouTube once again and that he was
depressed and his mom was considering
deleting his YouTube
account it was stressful to see that at
a timing like that and I was like why
does it have to be
now I couldn't stop thinking about it
and my mom was getting upset because we
were trying to have a nice time so he
ended up going on a Hiatus on YouTube
this didn't really end up becoming a
problem again until January
2022 that ended up being a tough month
and January is already my least favorite
month of the year for several reasons
it's always freezing cold outside I
don't usually do very much because it's
right after the Christmas season and
although some people will disagree with
me going back to school from winter
break is worse than going back from
summer
break in my opinion because at least
you're having a fresh new start with new
classes and also because you don't have
to go outside in 20Β° weather for those
outside of America that would be a
pretty nice temperature but not here
where we used the Fahrenheit scale so
yes the fact that this was happening in
a month I'm already not a fan of made it
a little tougher on the second my friend
started to get a massive hate base on
YouTube that night which got to the
point where he ended up deleting his
YouTube channel alog
together the next day
we thought that he was starting to get
his fans back through apologizing on
YouTube but then he sent me a YouTube
link on the top 10 where he was where he
was getting his hate base all back
because someone slandered him again by
making people believe he was a
murderer this caused me to have another
anxiety
attack not to mention I was also
frustrated and really mad about what
happened the good thing is is that
YouTuber who made up that lie changed
his ways since then but that was still a
very rough night but the worst night of
these ongoing YouTube drama incidents
for me personally Was the Same Day 2
weeks later which was January 17th
2022 that night someone on YouTube said
that my friend was pretending to be
depressed in October
2021 this made him extremely angry and
caused him to message me the FW in all
capital letters even though he knew I
was sensitive to hearing that
language for those of you who don't
really know me I have sensory issues due
to my autism and that's why it's often a
trigger for me so as a result of what he
texted I suffered an overwhelming
feeling of shock and betrayal and I had
an absolute
meltdown although he felt ashamed and I
forgave him this ended up being what was
quite possibly the most severe incident
I have ever had with my sensitivity to
swearing when it comes to things that
I'm sensitive to there are various
factors that go with it that make me get
more upset certain times than others and
what made the instant on January 17th
2022 my worst ever incident with people
swearing out of hundreds of them was
that it hit almost every single one of
those factors that it could possibly
hit it even had a negative aftermath in
the days to come from that incident
because it just increased my sensitivity
of swearing due to the fact that I had
kept dwelling on the fact that huge
incident ever happened in general the
first half of 2022 was the roughest era
of time when it came to my issue with
language there were a couple days and
later months to come where I got upset
by him losing control of his language
while messaging me because of this
ongoing situation but none of them were
anywhere near as bad as the first one
was the next Day January 18th was also a
difficult day I was on edge due to what
happened the night before so I lost my
cool in school once I heard something in
the halls I didn't like so I got sent to
the vice principal's office and then I
said something I didn't really
mean this sparked worry and everyone who
heard about it then I had a talk with my
family at home about what I said in
school and what happened the night
before which was likely a trigger for it
then there was January 22nd
2022 on this day my online friend asked
me and our other online friend to write
a specific comment on someone's YouTube
video that evening someone made a video
that was saying our other online friend
is awful and the people in the comment
section were saying they
agreed that second online friend was
showing both of us that night I tried my
best to calm him down but he still got
devastated about what was happening this
leted me have having another anxiety
attack luckily I talked it through with
my dad's girlfriend and she was able to
help and the kid I was talking to also
talked to someone to help with him there
were a few other days and later months
where the YouTube thing became an issue
again but they didn't end up being as
hard for me personally at least as the
ones I already talked
about so I've never agreed with YouTube
drama being a thing in the first place I
don't like being involved with it at all
and I wished I could have ignored it but
I couldn't because I had to help someone
who was having mental health problems
because of it happening with him and his
other friends as well and as you have
heard from this rant it had an impact on
me as well because of
it every time I get through a year I
know which day was my best and which one
was my worst my worst days of 2021 and
2022 October 21st and January 17th
respectively
which were both days that were caused by
drama on YouTube and I talked about both
of these days in this video already that
just shows the severity of how it
impacted
me and I've talked about some of these
stories in my worst days of 2022 video
why can't small YouTubers just all be at
peace with each other and why can't they
stop trying to create drama with each
other on videos and
posts this would make YouTube a better
place
for those of you who don't know I have
stories about myself that I have written
on Google Docs and for number 11 I wrote
a story called the pedestrians of my
lifetime in that doc I shared different
stories about how a person who was in my
life at the time caused me to have
feelings of
stress I gave four examples of times
this happen in one of the paragraphs I
talked about the YouTube drama story I
shared today and I talked about the
thing I ran it on previous viously in
another paragraph which was about having
a crush on
someone the YouTube drama thing affected
me in a similar way to how the other
thing affected Me 2 years
later but to conclude this video I'm
glad this dilemma thing is a thing of
the past now and I hope not to
experience it
again end of rant
