[A] I'm Proud Of You

Suitable for listeners of any gender.

A short and sweet little pep talk to make you feel appreciated. You may feel like you don't deserve to listen to this, but do me a favour and listen to it anyway, okay? You've been doing well lately, despite your ups and downs. It's important to celebrate the small victories. Sometimes just keeping your head above water can be an achievement. Even if nobody else seems to appreciate or notice the things you've been doing, I have. I'm proud of you. Keep it up, okay?

Can we take a minute to appreciate that we all wanted to cry after he said ‘hey, I’m proud of you’? Like damn...

[gaylord_vinvin]

Honestly I really appreciate this audio, honestly I don’t remember a time someone had actually told me they were proud of me.

[mirandaarizala]

I hope my parents would say this at least once in my life...

[neilmathur]

I had an abusive father. This really helps me with my life. Thank you. You have no idea the lives you have saved with these videos, brother.

Did I look this up right after I showed my dad an art piece and him just saying it looks like shit then just balling my eyes out right when he says "I'm proud of you"? that's a secret I'll never tell xoxo

[raveccanassif]

I've just searched "I'm proud of you" up so that I can hear it cause the people who I wanna hear it from, who are my parents, aren't saying it, nor noticing all of my hard work. These kid of videos cheared me up but still, hearing it from them would just hit different ;(

[cam-qnxj]

as a Hispanic, I have never heard this

[Hopechinies]

this is such a sweet audio, i wish i had a friend like you.

[gracehallows]

It’s the middle of the night and I’m crying, thank you for this

[MarinaColdwater]

Why does it feel like this? Why do I want to cry and am happy? Why does this hurt and feel good at the same time?

[hashtagbooksquad]

the craving i had to hear this, thank you so much.

[jaydencarle]

this got me in tears. thank you so mych

[laurenstockton]

So I graduated this year and before the principal left to start the ceremony he told us all that he was proud of us. None of my family did until the next day. It broke my heart.

[schtz]

i just graduated and no one in my family ever said anything. this audio means so much to me. thank you.

[TheNamelessBandOfficial]

The one thing my dad could never tell me, "I'm proud of you" that's all I ever wanted

[ghalaa]

i got accepted in a nurse school and all my family got mad they want me to be a doctor so thank you so much i felt like i need to hear it from someone i miss being appreciated

[hugestench]

I needed to hear this. I wish my family would say something to me like this. I strive to make them proud but they tell me they are.

so long, I’ve felt so alone.. and so tired of everything. Not once do I remember my mom or dad or brother, none of my immidiant family, no one saying anything about being proud of me. Any time I would bring it up I was “lying” and they had done it several times before hand.. but they haven’t. There was a time. In covid where I got bad grades, and in turn, they got so mad, I couldn’t talk to anyone. Every time I remember theses events I start whimpering and crying, it scares me to remember. I couldn’t talk to anyone and, if you don’t know, not talking to your friends At all, has a negative effect on relationships. I lost all of my friends and fell into a deep state of depression. I found comfort in making a discord account and making new friends, where I’d play games and hang out with afew people (1-4 at best, ) and I’d be happy. When my parents.. found out? All I remember. Is pain, my screaming being so loud my throat hurt too much to breathe and swallow correctly. Desperate to have some sort of comfort, someone to tell me I’ll be okay, to the point I had to start talking to myself in another kind of voice just to make myself think I was getting comfort by someone. They broke me. I managed to - sneak around more and get some of my happiness back by going back to my friends but, they found out again, and effectively made me loose everyone a second time. And, I had made, a third and final account.. I started playing this game ashes town (you play as a pony, but it was also fallout themed.) and I had made more friends.. I joined factions and was slowly getting better. Though at the time I would, starve myself, hurt myself, and so on so fourth.. when they found out I was on a game? Boy oh boy where they mad. They beat me senseless every time, for not being focused on my classes, but I couldn’t help it. I cant focus on anything and would rather die then be put on the spot with everyone in the class listening to everything I said, so, I would play finding more creative ways to hide that I was doing so, until one day. I was playing again and my dad noticed (they forced me to sit infront of them while I worked so they could watch me) and, he saw the screen was off colour. So, he asked and I lied. He Persisted, and I lied. Until I caved and he got, so mad that he yelled and threw his iPhone at me. Hitting me directly in my eye, giving me a black eye. Everytime i remeber this story, I just feel so much pain, so much sadness and anger, and when I would play again, I felt sick. So sick every time I sat down at the screen that I had thrown up on several occasions. They never listened to me, and every day when I hurt they brushed it off. So I started stealing my brothers razors. that year I began to disassociate. I couldn’t stay in the moment, time moved too fast, too slow. Never seemed.. real. Nothing did anymore. Nothing does now. I’m a broken child, because of my family.. I want to be free but I’m scared of change. I’ve been grounded now for 4 weeks because I said to my mother that my privacy should not be taken away like a phone because you do not agree with me. But what does it matter what I say to her. I’ll never be good enough for any one of them. So hearing the simple words of “I’m proud of you” made me cry hard.. ugly cry too..

been hiding behind my art and drawings to get everyones praise on me but all their words are meant for my 'talent' my 'gift' though actually i wanted them to notice that i worked hard for it.. especially my relatives who barely know i exist anymore and my father.. ive been longing for this. thank you. i feel existed and loved for the first time hearing your words even though i dont know you <3 i am saving this and listen to it repeatedly
