Of all the new content happening on Rookie, your videos are my favourite, Gabby. The ending is just priceless.

Though, I wonder if there’s a difference between being self-deprecating and using humour to talk about personal things that might otherwise be difficult or “too heavy” to talk about. Like, if I make jokes about my anxiety, it’s sort of a way to try to control it or lighten the mood for myself. Laughing at the things you fear in order to take away their power, that kind of thing.

honestly bless this series
everything about it
the “noone cares” videos are consistently the most glamorous five minutes of my day
also YES for “it’s better to weird people out initially then tone yourself down” this is my mantra now
this looks a bit like a short poem but honestly I’m just that inspired

Everything about this series is amazing. I especially connect to this video because this is something I struggled with for a really long time. It was never the obnoxious “lol I have no life” kind of thing, but I was the same idea. I’m glad I’m out of that phase.

I feel like the self-dep was my go-to in high school, probably because of the popularity it had/has on Youtube, probably to my developmental detriment. You are an inspiration Gabby, comedically, sartorially, personality-ly, the ending of this video.

Noone Cares is my guide to life, and Gabby is a goddess of glamour.

Literally the best. I like the point that Erin made though. Sometimes self dep humor leaks into the realm of dark humor to make it easier to talk about certain things that would otherwise be difficult or awkward to bring up seriously.

I love this entire concept which I believe is crucial for me to incorporate into my life immediately. Without a doubt, I could stand to take myself more seriously.
