[0:00]so let me try to be really honest with
[0:02]you
[0:04]guys I'm
[0:06]Different that's obvious I I assume
[0:10]that's
[0:11]obvious I've known I'm Different
[0:15]since forever since
[0:18]childhood I've known I'm in infj since I
[0:20]was like 20 years old maybe earlier I
[0:23]don't know I've known I'm a highly
[0:25]sensitive person since I was 20 years
[0:27]old
[0:32]and I see
[0:34]how other people react to
[0:37]me that caused me
[0:41]to close myself off from other
[0:44]people and I happen I'm very gifted I'm
[0:48]very I'm very smart
[0:51]um
[0:54]perceptive I'm a deep thinker I'm very
[0:58]emotional super sensitive
[1:00]like a lot of qualities that I actually
[1:03]think are
[1:04]awesome and I know that other people
[1:07]like
[1:08]me a lot of them do the same things that
[1:11]I did and I just it's I think that as
[1:14]you get older if you're like
[1:18]me
[1:21]you I guess you start to care less what
[1:24]other people think cuz that's a really
[1:26]hard thing for an infj you
[1:30]you are your own person and you you
[1:33]definitely stand up for your values but
[1:36]you do seek the validation of
[1:38]others
[1:41]and on an instinctual level it's not
[1:46]really this is a very hard thing to
[1:49]explain but it's relevant because if you
[1:52]put yourself on
[1:54]YouTube you have these tools in front of
[1:57]you likes and comments
[2:01]that give you a window into what other
[2:04]people how other people are reacting to
[2:08]you
[2:09]and that can be very difficult like like
[2:13]I'm struggling with how to just ignore
[2:15]all of that because I need to ignore it
[2:17]I truly do I don't think it matters it
[2:20]doesn't matter if you like my comments
[2:21]or not that's why I don't say that stuff
[2:23]in my
[2:25]videos cuz I'm not doing it for that I'm
[2:29]but at the same time
[2:30]time when you don't receive that kind of
[2:33]feedback you it's almost like you feel
[2:37]rejected in a sense and that's so I
[2:40]struggle with
[2:42]that this is not to say I want you
[2:44]liking my comments just to make me feel
[2:46]better please don't do
[2:48]that I just wish there were an app where
[2:52]you didn't have any of that and you
[2:54]could just post into a void
[2:58]because it's impossible possible to be
[3:00]on YouTube without knowing that you are
[3:02]interacting with other people and
[3:04]whether you hear from them or not they
[3:07]are reacting to
[3:11]you and they're judging you
[3:14]and that is not something anybody wants
[3:18]right that's not a pleasant thing I mean
[3:21]I guess if you knew that people are
[3:24]reacting positively to
[3:26]you you know like but that only happens
[3:30]when you're being fake because you can't
[3:32]please everybody that's not how that's
[3:34]not real life so trying to be a real
[3:38]person on here is really hard and I'm
[3:42]just struggling with that
Summary
rswfire discusses being different since childhood, identifying as INFJ and highly sensitive person around age 20. He describes closing himself off from others due to their reactions, while recognizing his gifts including intelligence, perception, deep thinking, and emotional sensitivity. He explains the difficulty of being on YouTube as an INFJ who seeks validation but struggles with the platform's feedback mechanisms (likes, comments). He expresses wanting to ignore these metrics but finding it difficult when lack of engagement feels like rejection. He wishes for a platform where he could post without any feedback systems, describing the challenge of being authentic on YouTube while knowing people are judging him.
