We got our colleagues to share some of the worst things they've been told and how it has impacted them emotionally and mentally. As a surprise, we got their friends to write heartfelt letters to them.

If you are going through a difficult time as well, you are not alone and it is ok to speak to someone you are comfortable with about it.

0:00 - Teaser and Introduction
0:24 - What are some of the most hurtful things people have said to you?
3:21 - How did you feel after hearing these hurtful words?
4:20 - Did you speak to anybody about it?
4:57 - When did things started getting better?
5:53 - Reading surprise letters from friends
9:31 - How do you feel after reading those messages?
10:23 - If you could turn back time to that difficult period, what would you have done differently?
11:45 - Do you have any advice for people who experienced something similar, or are undergoing stress of their own?

    To be honest, TSL produce many nice millennials on screen. Each of them has their own personalities. I dont see why you need to leave hateful comments if you dont like them,they are being themselves. If you do support TSL you shouldnt leave hateful comments or rather you should leave more constructive comments instead, for them to have a chance to improve. Remember they have feelings too.
  • @sowonkim4806
    Wah the starting already quite sad sia, to see someone so cheerful like Chiara cry :") Much thanks to Chiara, Sew, Renae and Prav for opening up to us 🥰🥰 Always remember that your feelings are valid and everyone deserves to be loved unconditionally

    The worst ones are the ones you don’t remember

    i don't think Chiara is a tryhard at all. Super genuine and her bubbly manner is a big factor that makes me watch Eatbook!
  • @AD-wo6qq
    Chiara, you're beautiful and you're worth everything in the world. Renae you're so strong and beautiful inside and out. Prav you're strong, and is worth so much more than others opinions of you. Sew you're an awesome person don't let others tell you otherwise. All of you are so strong :( I dread seeing all of you sad.. From irl comments to YouTube comments people should really think before they say anything. We love you 💙

    In a world where you could choose to be anything, choose to be kind! ✨
  • @tofusoup
    everyone should remember that words hold much more weight than we think, even if it's just a "joke". we don't know what someone is going through so we should always try to be nice to others.

    Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.

  • WHEN THEY CRIED I CRIED THEY ARE MY FAVOURITE PEOPLE YOU CANT DO THIS TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
  • @roywong6138
    chiara so cute bruh who tf has the audacity to fat shame her
  • @Frooooooo
    Renae one was harsh. How could they say something like that to someone who is already struggling?
  • @serenawong9103
    this was a stepping stone for me to know that im not alone and someone will always be there for me 🥺
  • @jinnielamp7801
    People are just so insensitive and say things without using their brains. Hope you guys stay cheerful and just know that you guys are amazing!:)
  • @maomi3672
    I agree with them. I have friends coming to me telling me about their problems and how their problems are so much worser than mine, the constant comparing. It felt like I didn’t deserve help and that I shouldn’t even be feeling this way because they have it worse than me. It didn’t help at all, in fact it made me feel worse for feeling bad about it. The truth is, everyone copes differently. But we all deserve help. I hope as a society that is stressful enough as it is, we can move forward without traditional mindsets and be more open-minded in terms of mental health. You deserve help. You deserve happiness. You deserve living better! Don’t be afraid to reach out to professionals. It is a long and difficult journey with relapses, but it is so worth it. Even if you think counselling or therapist sessions won’t work, give it a try. You owe it to yourself.

    Hey tsl... I know I'm kinda not early, cos this took me quite a while to write. I've been a fan of y'all since the very start, even before 100k. You've never failed to make my day and make me smile, even though the day was rough and tough. I never knew I would find such an amazing and funny channel here on youtube. Seeing y'all cry and being hurt by the nasty comments of others makes my heart hurt, even though we aren't related to each other in anyway. Comments and remarks may be hurtful and offensive, but please don't take it to heart. Y'all are amazing as you are right now, so keep your head up, keep smiling, be happy, block off those hurtful words that come to your mind. You are stronger than you know. You exist to make people who want to watch you be happy, not for the ones that don't want to. Please, please, please for the sake of every 280k of us, keep uploading, and making us smile. Love y'all ❤️✨
