THIS is what YouTube was created for!

OK, looks like he's replied to a comment on his "Pizza" video
that is dated March 10, 2020. So, a month ago.

COME ON RAY/CHRIS-KEVIN!!!! lmao

[somethingelseishere]

YEEEEESSSSS!!

He's listening to me!! His two latest uploads are of him outdoors!!
Last night I left a comment saying that my favorite videos are the ones
where he's outdoors and he should make more of them!!

BAMM!! Bitches!!

I'm glad I turned you guys on to Ray. You seem to really be enjoying him.

[somethingelseishere]

ROFL @ his latest!

"Twister". He's making jokes about being sucked up into
a tornado and dying that way. Topped-off with Wizard Of OZ references!!

[Guest]

In his video "Cardio" he says he has a "painful inability to connect to anyone." That kinda hits home for me. I mean unlike him I AM married, but still have a tough time relating to most people.

Oh he's special.

His mother is responsible for 90% of this crap. She treated him like a villain and never loved him.

[Guest]

Even though I'm sure he's harmless, some of this shit does remind me a bit of Elliot Rodger. He talks a lot of about painful loneliness, a life of disappointment etc.

Thanks, Guest! I'm totally rootin' for the guy!
I don't think he's beyond help.

I was just at that point a few minutes ago when just as he said that very line
the video stopped to buffer. Kind of making that line stand out all the more.

I feel it too. Even amongst my friends growing up, I always felt like the outsider.
Weird, but out of the group of skater [skateboarding] friends I had, only two of us
were actual introverts. Maybe three, but most of those guys were extro's to be sure.

It does make for some difficult times.

I don't think he's beyond help either. But when someone is in this bad of life/financial shape it's very difficult to climb out. It also gets harder as you get older. Being broke at 40 is not a good place to be. A friend of mine committed suicide a couple of years ago, because he was in a similar situation at 40. He lost his drivers license due to a few DUI's, then got fired from his job. He couldn't replace the job because he could not drive. He was also flat broke. It just starts to seem overwhelming. Ray also doesn't have a car right now.

You'll get no argument out of me on that. It is a very tight spot.
But I really feel, even in Ray's case, that there are enough resources
available that he's at least got a glimmer of hope. He's still got his
physical health [able to walk, bend, lift] and I've personally seen 
enough of him in his videos where he's lucid and "together" enough
to still be a functioning member of both a work force and society.

The financial woes of late DO factor in and make a lot of it more difficult
and probably in some cases, impossible, but Ray doesn't have to end up
as just one more sad statistic, I guess is what I'm saying. But he'll have to
act NOW! Every day that goes by is a day lost. His best work would be to
stop dwelling on all the bad shit once he's vented. 

He should make it a ritual. Every time he makes/posts a "vent" video, he should
go for a walk, weather permitting. Let it be symbolic AND literal, fresh air and endorphins 
as a reward to purging all the negatives. Develop a habit of doing that and allowing
more positivity to take hold. It CAN be done. I've seen it happen with others and 
with myself. I really hope it begins to happen with Ray.

That is great, I definitely believe in the fine art of balance...

But part of me also feels like Ray just needs to get the fuck over it.

LOL, duuuude...

After leaving my previous comment, I resumed watching the "Cardio" video
and he was in mid-rant and w/o pausing the clip I said: [talking to the video, lol]

[paraphrasing myself] "Ray, sometimes people suck, sometimes life is unfair and 
everything is hard! But living a 24/7 pity party ain't gonna do shit for you! YOU have
to make life better! Just stop worrying about others and do it for You!" 

So there's a disconnect somewhere between his claim of not giving a fuck what 
others say/think/feel and his self-pity mind-loops.

[Mister Obvious]

His mother is responsible for 90% of this crap. She treated him like a villain and never loved him.

So he says...

Who knows if he's recounting the past accurately, unless there's compelling evidence that he isn't just embellishing.

I've seen plenty of people do that.

Meanwhile their parent(s) will claim they did their best and couldn't possibly love them more than they do...

I mean parent/child relationships sure aren't immune to extreme misunderstandings and irreconcilable differences.

Who knows the circumstances surrounding his conception, when he came long, the situation she was in...

My guess is that he just has no compassion for her side of the story because he's incapable of such feelings...

Ironic because "helping" dumb people is one of his self-confessed "jobs" and all...

[Mister Obvious]

Guarantee that guy was born a douche...

Mildly interesting, yeah, sure. But so are a lot of folks.

I guarantee he was obtuse from day one.

I'm sure his mom did the best she could to deal with the shit.

God only knows what else kind of insufferable nonsense she had to put up with...

I mean let's not forget the fucking guy has a dad, and maybe he's the one with the crazy gene.

Came from somewhere.

I've written better articles than that shit about trauma.

[Mister Obvious]

Like what's the point of that anyway? How does that even relate to Raymond? Is he a jailbird or something?
