I was like 13 when I saw this video and I still think of it. I think of it all the time. When I meet someone who gets it I think " its good to know there's someone who thinks like me"

This was only made 11 years ago but it feels so emblematic of early internet optimism, even after the rise of myspace and facebook. It’s much harder to find deep community these days when these kind of introspective thoughts are broadcast to millions on tiktok and completely decontextualized from the person to a degree that was unimaginable in the 2000s. It’s a bittersweet feeling.

Man. The views and ratings of "A Show" don't match up to what I remember. I remember liking all of these episodes. Now, I see the "like" wasn't clicked. Why? How?!? The years of policy changes really boned your work, Ze.

I found about about ze from true facts videos and over time I found the videos like this some have made me cry and feel alienated and some have made me feel like I’m actually a part of humanity who shares experiences with other, I just want to say thanks to ze Frank for being able to help open new thoughts and ideas for people and putting things a way that I actually surprisingly understand better than if anyone else had said it

JOURNALING
It doesn't have to be nice & neat and perfect in your first few entries. You don't need a pricey, new official Journal (a $2 spiral notebook works just as well). It doesn't even have to be "coherent," the point is just to get it out on paper.

With 8 billion people on this planet, if you are a "1 in a million" person, there are 8,000 people EXACTLY like you.

Wow! Seeing that the comments are from like six years ago makes me feel kind of alone! But kind of a nice alone. Like when you're alone in a cathedral, abandoned movie theatre, or a giant cave. You're in a place that while forgotten, is special and beautiful and which many people have enjoyed. It's kind of sweet.

So wild the creative path that people can walk.
These are such a different style than the True Facts and also very enjoyable watches.
Millions of more views on True Facts explains why these all seem old…
Great content Ze! (I found the energy…)

Every few years I find myself in a place where I really need the Chill Out Song. I needed it today, and spent some time here with Ze, after. Thank you, Mr. Frank, sincerely.

Well I seem to have come in late to the party. This video right here 💖 Thank you for always being vulnerable and sharing your occasional awkwardness. It IS nicer when you realize, we are all the same. But differently.

I post periodically on a Facebook page for people recovering from abusive relationships, mainly with narcissistic partners. It's a closed group, so I feel somewhat safe being open about my thoughts and feelings. I am continually surprised when I share various insights that are popping up now that Mr. Wrong is gone, some of which are embarassing or not very flattering to myself, or when I confess to doing some stupid shit in reaction to "withdrawing" from 11 years of mistreatment and I get more than a couple hundred comments and something like 500 "likes" or "loves" or sometimes those tearful emojis.
That Facebook page has been my refuge because, unless you've lived under the same roof with a true narcissist or had to interact with one in an ongoing relationship (could be a parent, a sibling, a partner, a boss), you really aren't going to understand the different ways in which they mess you up – and the traumatic process of recovery you go through once you're free of them.
It's actually a little depressing to see how MANY people comment that I've just described THEIR life, or their relationship, because my experience was so painful, I hate to think of so many people going through the same suffering. In fact, it's kind of alarming.
Who knew there were so many narcissists in the world? (Mine was especially hard to detect, a "covert-altruistic" variety… teaches Bible classes, goes off on religious pilgrimages, completed training to be a monk, constantly does nice things for people — cheated on me with his ex wife, lost his job and then sold his plasma to get money to buy pot and smoked 4-5 times a day and ended our evenings by sitting in a rocking chair like a zombie with the stupid TV on for 5 or more hours, lied to me even when there was no real purpose, rowed me out into the middle of a lake in the winter when the daytime temps were in the 20s to demand that I marry him — and so on.)
While it IS validating to read comments to the effect that other people have gone through similar experiences ("Whew, so I'm not crazy after all."), it's also depressing enough that I try not to go to that page more than a couple of times a week.
I'm glad that apparently many people DO find comfort in knowing others are struggling with the same thoughts and feelings.

I'm listening to this while I'm ironing and I really had to grasp for air to breath because I was so overwhelmed with emotion. The sentiment just got me right in the gut. Thank you Ze Frank

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I remember watching a ted talk where people sung that song at the end it was either by myself or with my dad I don't remember. I also don't remember whether it was three or five years ago but years before that when I was in elementary school I remember my sister singing it to her not- even- a- year- old son when he couldn't stop crying. My sister is the strongest person I know. Anyway I remember seeing the ted talk, it being one of the most powerful things I'd ever watched,the first time, real,beautiful people from all over the world all singing or playing that same song and to this day! that has been my reachable sweetness, something I would call my "true calling" in life, my purpose would be to bring as many people as possible together and do something and express eachother to have this essential tiny eternity of a moment of a universal, anchient, deeply-rooted, evolutionary, INSTINCTUAL feeling of being unconditionally loved and understood and accepted and happy , and that feeling, that idea, has always been and will be my definition the most basic form of human nature. I have sung that song multiple times when I was feeling at my worst and by worst I mean vaugely suicidal I remember it helping me to calm down almost every single time and in that case that technically means that you might've saved my life and I didn't even realize it until just now. Now I'm thinking of all the other humans that heard the song that you might've
saved or helped so I guess you are kind've a fucking wizard and I hope If you haven't already won a nobel peace prize or something that you will and if not I hope you can be utterly satisfied on your deathbed knowing this. Thank you, Zefrank. Thank you.

When I was younger I wanted to make this show Ze’s show where I rant about the confusing yet beautiful things that happens so commonly but almost no one talks about, The trends that go on in our minds but then I saw this show and although I still kind of want to do my thing this is done so well I hope I wouldn’t be ripping him off
