Sick of Crying
Tired of Trying
Yes I'm smiling
But inside I'm dying

[fatalispro]

Alot of anxiety, i feel so detached from the world...

[ItsCamaro]

I can’t even smile anymore. I just have a poker face all day long

[internetcivilian]

My family. My biggest problem in life is my family

Josh, this is the very first video of yours that I have ever watched. I literally just typed in 'life sucks' on the search bar and I found this and it really helped me calm myself down. Your amazing for making these videos and using your talent to help others feel better, keep doing what your doing!! Thank you so much for making my day a billion times better!

[dizzysleepers]

finding good people is very fucking hard when you yourself are negative, they themselves know they want to surround themselves with better people then themselves so its a constant struggle to find these people when they want other people...

My mom is trying to control my life via religion, career, college, friends, family, etc. I just had a huge fight with her and that's how i found this video. I feel so helpless. Especially when i try to do what i feel is right and what i love and she calls me stupid and rebellious. I don't fear disownment because she basically already has, but i really wanted to try to save my relationship i have with my mom. I'm known to be a very happy, positive person, but recently i just can't take it any more. I don't know what to do.
This video had a lot of good tips and a lot of which are true: i have friends who support me and help me, i have a great outlook on life and have a plan, i know what I'm doing is right... i just have someone in my way (actually 4 to be exact).
I need help. But this plea is in vain since i know there's nothing that can be done. So I'll just fake a smile.

Excellent video Josh. so much good information packed into 5 minutes :)

[Patrick-fdpo]

this is a video that describes my 7th year... i started off school as a suicidle and i became the happiest person in the world...7th grade has been the most self esteem making year of my life. and its all thanks to you JOSH

[caltonstephen]

I wish there were more people like you in the world, some people would just rather put other people down, thanks for this josh

What I hate about life is all the evil that goes on in this world. I could be happy and living life, but still somewhere in this fucking world some kid or animal is getting abused, racism, fights, killings. This world is just fucked up in different ways. I wish it would stop one day and we all get along and happy one day. We only live once and life is too short for hate!

[leahccorpuz]

Very true. Believe it or not before I am a nerdy guy, weak, and no one likes me at all and I think that my life really sucks but some how, one day I realize think and said to myself fuck this I am gonna have a lot of self confidence, gonna be much more positive, and try to be cool, and whatever the others say bad about me I dont care . After that look at me now I am just the one of most charismatic, cool, and funny guy around the school also I have now a lot friends and a lot of girls like me now because I am differrent to any guy that they usually know you know the others dicks, and jerks guys and now the bullies bullying me before just cant do anything because they just ending up embarrassing theyre selves in front of me and others. So anyone of you that is feeling so down theyre selves, feels no hope anymore, feels my life sucks. U can still change it by having goals in your life and the most of all important thing that a lot of people dont have that you shoul is a lot of SELF CONFIDENCE. I hope my story help peoples feeling theyre life is sucks. Thx for the time reading this :)

Sometimes i feel like life will never get better but now I know it will get better. Thank you, Josh. I think you may have just saved my life. I have been going on the internet trying to figure out ways to help me and this video really helped.

[lindseyhebert]

My life sucks don’t get enough love feeling disliked I used to be sweet and special now why people would put their favoritism ahead of me it’s like I am not no ones time or matter to them that’s makes me feel worthless

[tnegadlorahsniknej]

Damn. I was feeling all depressed and frustrated with my life and typed in why life sucks and found this video. Great advice man, but what really helped me out was reading all of the comments from other people. It made me realize that even though my life is not how I would like it to be, at least I'm not as stupid as the majority of people who left comments on here. Thanks man, I really feel a lot better.

[SuperSaiyanNahumKai]

Good advice Josh but as for professional help (been there' done that) i rather not ever again seek professional help neither from Therapists, Counselors, or any other professional in the mental health field/medical field to help me with my life's problems because most of them don't legitimately care about their patients/clients for real and mostly or only cares about their paycheck. Things that stresses me out the most and things that i hate the most are things i have no control over. I usually dwell on the negative but am working fixing that problem little by little. It's true that not every family member (including my family and my real life friends) nor friend aren't equipped with certain skills that can help me in the way that i need it' "for example" I was spoiled since childhood which the price of being spoiled as a child caused me to lack certain life skills that could of been useful to me as an adult now. So now at 32 i still have some of the same problems from childhood. Keep up the good work.

I cry like 4 times every single day..and it still doesn't help..I don't wanna get into it, I just want to say that..know god is with you forever and always, feel free to pray whenever you want💙

[nunyabeezwax]

really needed this. thank you 💛 sometimes i really ask why my life went so wrong. it’s easy to forget that life may get better one day, and that predicting the future isn’t reliable

[bellaabell]

Your videos are so kind and thoughtful thanks for these videos josh!

[paul_isnt_here]

Ive been watching your videos for a few months now and I honestly think this is the best one in the self help category. Insightful and modest.
Keep up the good work.
