- Hey guys, it's Thursday and usually on Thursdays
we talk about our feelings, slash news items,
slash things I learned about that day.
But today I just want to talk about things that really suck.
So recently I got together with some of my best friends
to sit around and talk about our feelings
while recording them straight to camera.
"Why," you may ask?
Frankly, because we're YouTubers and that's just
how we've trained ourselves to cope.
Sometimes it's a little difficult because of comments
that are negative in the comment section.
Do you receive a lot of negative comments on your videos?
- I receive an awful lot of negative comments on my videos.
- I get a lot of racist comments. I don't know why.
- I receive so much hate on my videos.
- A lot of sexist comments. I don't know why.
- I think people just like to hate.
- I think some of the worst comments I've ever received
are things like, "I bet your dad hates you."
- "Cut your hair, you witch." I don't know why.
- They say that they hate me, and I'm just
dumbing myself down to try to get famous
or try to get views.
- I think I get more upset when people
just say things aren't funny, rather than
when they say something about like,
"I could drive a train through her two front teeth."
- [Hannah] I'm going to have you read
some negative comments, okay? - Okay.
So, this is the first one.
- "Coleen needs to contour her makeup." (laughs)
Well, that's not how you spell my name. How rude!
- "You are so uneducated and stupid
cussing don't make you cool!"
Oh, it says "doesn't". (laughs)
Apparently I'm not educated 'cause I can't even read.
Alright, Kerry, you get a point for that.
- "This video is not funny at all."
You're probably right. (laughs)
"What the hell was that giant bug
with a blonde wig you were holding?"
Are they talking about my dog?
Are they talking about Beanz? (bell dings)
If you could train a bug to wear a wig,
and grow to be five pounds,
and also pull off any type of hat,
you got yourself a great bug.
- "Don't rise up your chin all the time."
- Now, I have to interrupt myself
because I'm not a total Sadist.
And, after making people read negative comments
about themselves, I just had to surprise them
by putting in a positive comment, too.
- "I am definitely subscribing. She is hilarious!"
Aww, plot twist!
- "I would buy one of your pics, frame it,
put it on my wall, and look at it every night
because this is literally relationship goals.
In a non-creepy way, of course."
Aww, that's sweet.
- "This video is amazing and inspiring, especially
as a smaller YouTuber just starting.
This shows me that YouTube is not just for videos
on the internet and can change lives. Thank you, Jenna."
Aww, that's really sweet.
That's the kind of stuff that, when I lay my head down
on my pillow, I'm like, "Ow! My heart really hurts.
'Cause that's really sweet. Thank you."
- "Mamrie, you are looking incredibly healthy
and skin-glowy. Just gorgeous!"
Well, thank you, very much!
This is what you want to hear, you know?
Because it's a lie. (laughs)
- It's so refreshing when someone
is like, "You know what, I am subscribing."
"This is why you're wonderful."
And it's not a generic comment,
it's a genuine "This has impressed me,
I am subscribing, and, therefore, you should know."
"You should know something positive."
I feel like oftentimes they only say
things when they're negative.
I love you, person. (smooch)
- D'aww, wasn't that so sweet and nice of me?
Good job, me! (hand slap)
But, to be totally honest and truthful,
you can get 99 positive comments,
but if you get that one negative comment,
it really just sticks out like a sore thumb.
Mainly because I suck my thumb so hard
as I gently weep over my laptop.
Anyway, guys, focusing on the positive
isn't always the easiest thing to do.
In fact, it's an active choice
I make each and every day.
You guys always ask me,
"Hannah, how do you stay so positive?
How do you stay so optimistic?"
Well, here's the big secret, here's the big reveal:
I choose to.
And not in a weird, repressive sort of way,
but by trying to find what shred of positivity there is.
Usually, you can find it.
So, together with Coca-Cola, we're trying
to make the internet into a happier place.
And you can participate, too!
Just share on your Twitter, Tumblr, Insta, Facebook,
whatever social media platform you prefer,
and use the hashtag "#MakeItHappy".
Let us know how you took something negative
and turned it into something positive.
Let's just make things...
happier.
Am I Mom?
When did I transition from Cool Big Sister to Mom?
It was probably when I started to decorate.
(blows kiss) Have a great day.
