"You can use those words; We can use those words." OOF hits hard but oh so perfectly.


Dodie I want you to know that you’re not the only one that applies certain thoughts to yourself and no one else. I also apply feelings about my body and worth to myself that I would never ever think about someone else. I’ve never had much attention from boys and I got bullied by boys, and I’ve always had this idea in my head that without attention from guys and guys being attracted to me, I wasn’t very worthy. I would never think that about someone else. Just wanted you to know it’s not just you <3


can I just say how absolutely GORGEOUS her hair is 🥺💖


you are so loved. you have helped my healing and my living so much. thank you I have a mental illness that is a lot you are so helpful. Gentle, alive. Thank you.

I think this was a really beautiful little bit of information. We aren’t wondering more, we just wanted a little check up on how our Dodie’s been. I just hope she didn’t feel like we felt entitled to know anything, I just want her to feel compelled to share because she wanted too. Sending love!


This video my be my favorite video I've watched today, it made my day. Thanks!


This is a very beautifully done video. 🥺


Thanks for introducing us to your new flat mates. They seem lovely. You've come a long way looking in from the outside.


Just keep on being you :) Love your videos and songs!


gah thank u for the little peek into how you have been doing as of late. i love u!! can’t wait for the album :’) <33


Even across the world, even though we do not know each other, you sharing helps me hear it all clearly within my own life.

I am so happy you are surrounded by people who love and support you!!! HECK YEAH!

Thank you again for sharing and for being so present. I started making music because of you, and I am really just so grateful for your presence on YouTube in all of its forms ❤


ahhh new video every thursday this is great thursday’s are draining for me bevasue they are my therapy days and we just started on trauma work after going to this therapist for three years


I have never been this early to a videoooo


Dodie's videos and the comment section is so therapeutic❤


about talking with your inner child: that part made me cry. thank you for remind me to be more kind to my own inner child.


Thank you for your raw and open honesty.  If you are looking for your next read, try "Illusions" by Richard Bach.  It's the kind of book that reads differently for everyone.  Thanks again for sharing.  Take care and be well.  Oh, and Happy Birthday :-)


I watched this video the day it came out, I think, or the next day. And since then I have thought about the quote "As a woman, I worry that if I'm not tiny and flexible and fuckable then I am nothing" every. single. day. A lot. Especially every time I've gone out. It is a terrible thing to admit indeed, but it's so special to hear my own feelings (and undoubtedly the feelings of countless women) put into such honest and true words.


This is so peacefully powerful and I love it


Dodie I have been watching you since 2015. I was also 15-16..now I'm a few weeks away from 21 and I have watched you grow and your videos and songs have helped me get through so much in life. In a way you have been like this internet big sister through watching your stuff and following you on social medias, kind of there to be like "hey it's going to be okay, I have survived this and you will too".<br> Its really been incredible to watch you grow as an artist and I'm so so excited for Build a Problem!

Awh Dodie, you are loved and appreciated


i find lots of comfort in participating in dodie's journey along with her, even just as an observer. she is my all-time favourite not-youtuber and musical artist. i've liked her since 2018, although i truly found her in 2020, which did indeed hit me like a truck. things progressively got worse and worse for my mental health as i became the villain in the stories of the people most important to me, and i seeked solace in the echoes of dodie's music and that 1% of her story that she's shared. i've found many similarities in her and i, although that might just be me projecting, but it comforts me. i remember, for a moment, daydreaming as if she was my future self, and it made me feel like i'd be okay. she's not perfect, she still struggles lots, but she's carried herself through and those flaws of hers make her a wonderous being. overall, dodie has really helped me to find myself and get through my own journeys. i'm glad you're still here, and i'm thankful for every moment u spend sharing yourself with us <3


I love that you’ve found your inner child and you talk to her. I refer to myself in the 3rd person a lot because, as women, I find that we’re more likely to stand up for someone else than ourselves. So, it helps me to do that. (i’m also probably crazy and she get that checked out, but i do it and it’s working so i’m rolling with it)


I feel like this is my favortie video of dodie and it's not even music. But I feel like I needed to hear these things right now.


Im having a mental health day after having an awful breakdown last night and seeing this today was so comforting. Like Dodie knew I needed this even though she didnt cause she doesnt know me this still felt like a chat and a check-in with a friend :,)


You can share as much or as little as you want with us, it’s your own thoughts and feelings and we all deal with things differently. I’m sure no matter what you choose to do you will be overwhelmed with support and as long as you’re as happy as you can be everything will be alright.

This applies to everyone. X


I wish I could like a video 1 million times. Thank you for sharing xx


I didn’t really grow up with boundaries either and it’s something I struggle with too. So I appreciate your 1% that you chose to share because it reminds me of how I’ve been trying to reduce how much I share with others


I’ve had so many of these thoughts recently. Glad I’m not alone.


3:05 not me thinking she's gonna piece together the lyrics to air so sweet in her videos secretly like she did with arms unfolding


hi dodie :) you are fab. i am working on complex ptsd and have derealisation too. you are doing amazingly. i know what it feels like to not see yourself as the amazing person you are while your friends see this beautiful flower infront of them. you are amazing <3 thank you for being you :)


I usually don't comment on videos but I've been following you since the beginning. I really appreciated the video you posted and even now. I love seeing you be so honest a raw even if it is just a slice. It's so comforting to see that I'm not the only one experiencing trauma or dark moments. So thank you for that 💕 I'm really excited for your album to be released, congratulations dodie


I also recently found some writing from when I was a kid and I really understand how it can be helpful but also really screw with you. I forget that I am a person with traits and things that make me me and it helped me to remember that, which in turn really helped me to talk to myself nicer and giving myself a break as if I am talking to my younger self and taking care of her.  But it is also very sad to think about everything that version of me has yet to go through and how she has yet to see how our family is, as you said, "a fake truth of a family" just waiting to shatter.


I find dodies music and videos so warm and comforting, and dodie as an artist has meant so much to me with becoming a teenager ,since I was about ten Ive been watching dodies videos, and listening to all of her music,  im 14 now so I know I haven't been watching for as long as some viewers out there but dodie really really inspired me to start learning instruments and posting YouTube videos even though I was a bit self conscious about myself when I first posted, but I really love it now and watching dodie as a young woman be able to make music and release stuff and be awesome really made me want to do music properly. p.s the dodie fandom are really lovely


god, we are all so human and I LOVE THAT, even though it's tiring most of the time


Thank you for sharing this....growing up feels scary.


So much you can be proud of. Strong and talented in so many ways. Hope you have a great 26th birthday when it rolls around too 🥳. Oh and being tiny and flexible isn’t everything (actually in the grand scheme of things, they’re the least important traits); just be happy being you and you’ll find the people who matter 👌


This was so reassuring. As someone who struggles with derealization/depersonalization, this was such a moment.


god dodie i wish i had more words to give you but let me say how much i appreciate the honesty. as someone who is sorting through their own trauma and getting the help i really do need it's videos like this that make me realize that i am not alone 🥺


hello dodie! i suffered from horrendous derealization for 6 months a few years ago and my advice is to just stop thinking about it, i know it’s the opposite of what you should do with any other mental illness but give it a try! it may take a while to work, but it worked for me:)


i'm struggling with my inner child and that little part of the video ripped a sob out of me so fast


Hey Dodie. I really hope you're doing well with all the stuff going on. As a subscriber for over four years, I'm really glad that I got to watch you grow the way you have. Yes I'm only seeing your highlight reel and only some of the behind the scenes. But I appreciate seeing anything that you'll give us. Sending my love ❤


I'm so grateful for this video for too many reasons to count, each one individually too long to explain


It’s nice to find someone who is very real. I have some similar problems and it’s quite therapeutic to hear another perspective after being in my own fog of nastiness for so long : D


i know you probably get this all the time but i’ve never related to anyone as much as you dodie and my parents divorce / childhood trauma made it both super difficult and weirdly perfect to look back on old video tapes. I just wanted to say thank you for exposing your self doubt to the world because it’s really brave and every time i get spiraly or depersonalised i think about how much you try to be at one with it and it seriously helps. stay wonderfully true to yourself and your inner child   🌈✨


Thanks so much for sharing; so much to relate to.


You help me get in touch with my authentic self... I am a bit lost and tired these days and you lift my vulnerable, soft and artistic side... Thank you for all the years of good music dodie.. I don't have enough words to describe how much you helped me express my feelings in difficult times.. I really appreciate you❤🙏


"It's so weird that I only apply that to myself" OMG my internal monologue in a nutshell 😅


when you talked about loneliness, i felt so seen. so for anyone feeling the same way, I thought i'd share a quote from nina varela's iron heart that really resonated with me:
" "I am always lonely", said Junn. "My heart, if I have one, is a house of empty rooms and empty halls. My thoughts and footsteps echo. Sometimes I feel like a guest in the house of myself. But sometimes, someone's footsteps cross my floor, and that is enough. These days, I luxuriate in my loneliness. I walk through my empty halls naked and singing." Her smile hadn't slipped. "What I really wanted was a reason to stay," she said. "And I got what I wanted."
Crier frowned. "Stay... in the palace?"
"Hm. Anywhere," said Junn." "


my 2013 heart is so warm. thank you for sitting down with us and just chatting. I missed that.


I totally feel you on the whole putting standards on yourself that you don't put on others situation. I think about it all the time.


Dodie 😭 your album comes out the last day of my finals for school. I’m sad it’s got pushed back, but I least I get that gift 💝 I love you pal


i want to see more baby dodieeee she's so cute :) love you! <3


A slice of my our honesty: build a problem will be coming out 3 days after my birthday now and that makes me even more excited than when I was coming out originally 😊 happy little accidents yeah?


i dont know what to say to 7 minutes of wise words, this is just message of support to you doodie ❤


Your situation or maybe your life makes me... a bit sad. It hurts to know that you're hurting because of this complex stuff that happened and keeps happening in your life. Though, it makes me relieved because I now know that I'm not the only one dealing with these problems.


I have been a fan of yours for 5 years now and I always re watch your older chatty videos when i’m feeling sad. you always manage to put into words what I feel and seeing someone understand so deeply is such a huge comfort to me. I always have and always will find everything about your online precence, through your videos, music or even just your instagram posts insanley comforting. you were there for me through my move from my childhood home and bullying and being so achingly lonely to some of the best days of my life and i am eternally greatful to you for that. Thank you for this video dodie, it means the world


Dodie, I also have DPDR and I have found Jordan Hardgrave. He has led many people to 100 percent recovery. I am currently working on the program. I hope we can all get through this. I am excited to see where it goes.


I struggle with reality as well, but my time within its grasp is soon done. As someone leaving it soon with an undeserved good ending as it were, I must say, life was entirely worth it for me. You are lovely and talented in ways many of us cannot be. Enjoy it as best you can. Much love


Honestly, I've only ever seen you as an artist. You're one of the most artsy artists I listen to since your music is laced with feelings. To me your music is the kind where you get a picture or create a story in your head and you lose the sense of reality for a while.
I get not feeling valid though. But there is a reason there are people constantly wanting to keep seeing where your journey will go.
We come for the music, we stay for the dodie vibes.


I understand the 'YouTuber' title dilemma, I do. But personally, and probably selfishly, I would be sad if I couldn't refer to Dodie as a YouTuber anymore because she elevates the very meaning of the term.


It is crazy how much I resonate with so many things that she touched upon here eventhough I am a different person, living in a different country with a completely different life. It does feel somewhat comforting that there are other people in this world dealing with similar things and still finding a way to live on


I just want to let you know how beautiful your energy is.


Your old uke videos deffo make feel a part of an online family that I quite enjoyed ☺ x


on the same page with the derealization. thanks for this reminder that other people go through it, can forget about that sometimes. makes me feel a little less detached.


Im literally crying because this is so fucking relatable to my life and I have self diagnosed depression and it has been so hard not telling my parents and friends about it because my mom and dad will just say your growing up or it’s just a phase and you’ll get over it but it’s not that at all to me. I have this inner circle where no one knows about or can get into in my brain except me and that spot hold my deepest secrets like this one and you are like my mentor for helping me deal with it even though you don’t know it. To me my favorite song to listen to when I struggle with it is your song called Burned Out which is one of my favorite songs in the entire world so thank you for sharing this with us it means a lot!!!!❤❤❤❤


she's like the wise and jaded older sis I always wish I had and really could've used


I relate to you a lot.
I have since I was 15 and I know that as a content creator it's important to feel like you should be relatable and that might have effected that but I still stand by that for almost 6 years whenever you let us in for a minute I go
"Holy shit someone else is saying this and she's prettier and smarter then me so I must be less hard on myself because she thinks the same way and yet I know it's not true."
I present as a man since I have not even started mtf therapy but I do seriously look at you and go "wow, that's the standard of a woman I want to be... Wait there's no such thing so why am I emparting that onto you?" So then I'm left checking myself.

Also yeah being the villain in other people's stories I 100% understand and similarly due to a lack of understanding boundaries.
Its just so nice to know someone as beautiful and inspiring as you still feels as shitty as me.
Thank you for your honesty and I hope you heal same as I do.


hi dodie i also struggle with similar things sending you my love 💙 here's a nice quote from doctor strange “We never lose our demons, we only learn to live above them.”


Those screenshots of your older videos felt like a splash of nostalgia when I first got into your channel back in 2012. Haha


I'm constantly managing my CPTSD & dissociation, and reassing my comfort with it. Elohim called MI "waves," and I continue to find that accurate. Waves come, waves go. Mid-20's-sexuality is a whole mess: You're not alone in the "yearning-detachment" of it. ✌


I can relate so much with your story.
So many stories and lyrics from you give me chills since I can feel them. It is not easy to deal with complex trauma and I give you a huge shoutout to deal with it the way you do.
I am shy to write about where I can connect with you since this is a public space - also admitting that this might not even be read by you but maybe by someone else.
Just be known: I know how it feels to slide from anxiety to panic to depression, for me it is because of unresolved traumatic experiences - which are currently resolved and the root of the pain is being healed. So I am on a very good way for living my personal potential to the fullest and have overcome panic and depression already.
I am sure, you can do this - as we all can .
Much love!


for me you are a musician, that got known through youtube and shares her life now and then through youtube to adress her fans and do like this kind of fan-artist interaction. share what you want to share, and dont share what you do not want to share. nobody runs around and talks about there deepest feelings and anxieties.


hi :))
it's nice to get an update, thank u for sharing dodie x
looking forward to BAP


from about September-December of last year, i was in a terrible dissociative & depressive episode. I couldn’t imagine feeling like that again & frankly I’m scared it if ever happens again. I salute you for being so strong, I don’t know that I could ever do that.


What you described is so similar to what I feel I related to a lot of what you said, thanks for sharing now I feel slightly less alienated


it is so interesting to hear your thoughts<br>thank you

it is so interesting to hear your thoughts
thank you


dodie i love you so much thank you for sharing :))


Dodie, the way you spoke about depression reminded me of the song 'the darkness' from crazy ex girlfriend (aka the best series of all time)


i really admire your slice of honesty, it’s hard to put yourself out there. i think many people forget that we are all human, with the same range of emotions. trauma is a powerful suppressor. i’ve found that my favorite content out there is those who speak their truth. you and other creators inspire me to push outside the box, and be truthful with myself and others. looking forward to hearing more from you.


the aesthetic is WONDERFUL. so warm and cozy. thanks for sharing


Oh wow, this was a gem of a video to watch. Sometimes you don't realise the depth of another persons life when you're so wrapped up in your own. @doddleoddle you showed incredible strength in making this and I'm sure your fans will feel closer to you for watching this. Also no doubt others will have found validation in their struggles by you sharing yours. Keep giving your best to the world it's much appreciated!


the stuff you said about taking care of your inner child made me tear up, gosh i wish i could go back in time and just hug my child self.


i say this like ...all the time but i'm literally so fucking proud of you i can't express just how proud i am in a youtube comment but sometimes it just hits me that i grew up with you online and we're both such different people now and you're just so inspiring, relatable, beautiful, and strong. I'm so soso soso fucking proud of you dodie  :'-)


Dont be sad dodie it's okay to be depressed everyone goes through this and you are really fun to hangout with so dont let yourself about what others think of you that really helps.


When your face fell at the end I felt that... Some of us go about our days trying to put on a brave face but sometimes even we can't wait for the camera to cut before the mask falls off.


This felt very therapeutic, dodie's voice is the only asmr I enjoy


I'm so so so happy you were willing to share your dissociation and are so open about it. If it wasn't for your first video opening up about it, it probably would've taken me and my therapist so long to figure out my own dp/dr because I thought it was NORMAL (which it is, but the fact that not everyone sits in a room feeling like everything is fake from time to time shook me). So thank you for being honest about your mental health. So much. Its really helped me to start healing sooner than I would have. Love, a fellow spacey gal. 💛


I can not tell you how many times I watched "angry". It was one of videos that helped me leave my abuser. Thank you Dodie for you vulnerability I know all too much about growing up with no boundaries. You did a really good job. I hope you can rest soon and grow more memories with boundaries 💓


I love this little slice of honesty :) think I should do this too


It is so adorable how you look exactly the same as you did as a child I am unrecognisable


This was a very refreshing slice of honesty ☺ though not everything is perfect, you seem like you are in a healthier place and mindset compared to when you did youtube full time. I don't know if that's actually true, but I hope it is ❤


the comfort i feel in having dodie videos again,,, mmm v nice


ngl i was a little curious about the flat situation cuz i've noticed her bedroom is different esp with the window placement but i'm just glad to hear dodie is doing well and living her best life with friends


I just want to say that your pain and feelings and struggles with trauma are all very extremely valid (struggles isn't the best word but I'm bad at words). I also love the stuff you said about your past on youtube. I always get excited about your music when it comes on on my Spotify because I remember when I used to have some of the videos of your songs downloaded so I could listen to them offline, and so my heart gets so happy seeing your music more widely in the world now. Your music carries so much meaning for me and has helped me so much in my life. Plus, your song Human was literally my older brother and his wife's first dance song at their wedding. All in all, I just want to thank you for everything you do. You have a beautiful soul, and it's almost like you inspire joy into the hearts of everyone who hears you💜💜💜


I do the same thing of talking to my child self and it's the most powerful tool I have in my toolbox to gain and maintain stable personal happiness.

My apple crumble is by far the most crumblest


You're such a wonderful, beautiful human being. Trauma is such an awful thing to get through and heal, you'll get there, no matter how long it takes - you've got this!! Remember that you're fabulous, so kind, so wholesome loved by so many and have such a loving energy about you. Thank you for sharing your troubles, for being vulnerable, for being you. You are perfect as you are. Thank you for being you ❤


This is so wonderful I love this video so much


You should know you helped me understand that my first boyfriend was abusive much good has been done by you


Sorry to hear about the push-back of your album release date. We are here for you always


dodie i love you you help me reconnect with myself


Dodie, your videos where you talked about your depression and derealisation really helped me process my depression and put a name to an experience I have grown up with and experienced all my life. So, thanks for that. I wouldn't say I'm friends with my depression though...

It's more like a flatmate I don't particularly like or hate. We live together, and sometimes we happen to hang out, but it's never planned... We just sort of end up together. And every time we do, even though I don't like them, there's something about them that just feels a little bit like home.


When you were a young angry teen sharing your hurt online I watched you because I was also a young angry teen who shared my hurt online and desperately wanted someone to understand. Now I'm a early 20's something going through the process of growing and healing, so its very nice to see that even after all these years you are growing and healing with me. <3


If you would value validation as an artist, I listen to your music because of the beauty of the lyrics, the intelligent observation, the clean tone and the wonderful sense of melody and harmony. You are just as good as the other artists I turn to for what art does, talks beyond words (so forgive the words). They are geniuses widely acknowledged, and little people little known, dead 200 years and living still, they are poets and authors, and have this in common: they have an ability to transcend with their bravery, honesty, willingness to speak their truth with transparency. Thank you. To this insignificant human, at least, you are an artist, and I am grateful for your gift. Keep speaking beyond your words, keep singing beyond the music, for it is helping and it is a rare gift.


hoooWEEE i was not expecting for this to be as validating as it was tytytytyty for this<br>but also PLEASE don't feel pressure to continue to share/share more just to help others you gotta help yourself first okAY BESTIE OKAY ILY GN

this makes me wish i could talk to you for real, like actual friends. Kind of a beautiful two way mirror tho.


i have to admit i dont watch youtube as much as i used too n im pretty busy starting my twenties haha, but its nice to click on one of your videos when it pops up now and then. It feels like catching up with someone i just havent seen in a while. mad life


I don't even know if you will read this but: Dodie,  I want to say thank you for beeing so kind with us and for  talk about personal topics. Is great to see a wondefull artist beeing such a great person. In this times of fakeness, insecurity, fear and lonlyness you provide us a safety place where we can grow up with a little bit more of confident. I just want to say thanks to you for beeing . Greetings from Chile.


thank you so much for sharing, i love you to bits <3


didnt expect to cry today lol, when u talked ab ur inner child i CRIED so much


I actually liked listening to the old ukulele tunes when I first "found" Dodie on YouTube. It's probably not very PC to say this, but one of my favorites was that one with Dodie's little sister "Paint" which is about using make-up. I just think it was such a fun song and has a memorable melody... I laugh a little every time I happen to hear it when it shows up in my YouTube mix.


Why is every dodie vlog like when you're on a night out and you end up listening to a girl for hours and hours, completely fascinated by her and everything she's got to say, it's the most chilled you've been in your whole life, and you really don't want it to end; then it's like 6am and shit it's getting fucking light outside! XD That, and also, you know for a fact that if she read your tea leaves she would map out the entirety of your life...and be RIGHT.


holy crap, 5:31 this hit me so hard because this is what i've been struggling with. everyone can be kind, but do i have enough strength to prove to other people that we can be?


I've never thought to talk to my child self before. What a beautiful and nurturing idea...I think I'll do this when I'm having depressive moments 💛 I stuck a picture of me at 3 years old by my mirror - I would recommend. Thank you for your honesty, Dodie.


You are so brilliant and have really helped me describe my derealisation better and be happier. Thankyou❤❤❤


I am a random person on the internet, and I have an opinion about dodie! <br>I think she is a talented, funny, smart, beautiful woman, who fights bravely against inner and outer demons. Dodie is a badass.

These comments are so lovely, I hope you're all taking care of yourselves <3


Thank you for this.<br>Ti voglio bene <3


baby dodie is the cutest little nugget oh my lord 🥺


If I had to guess, and please know I say this out of compassion and not as a gotcha, I would guess that the truest slice of honesty is at 6:52 - 6:56. I know that moment of dropping the mask you put on for others' sake.

BTW, Dodie, if you're actually reading this, I suffered from a period of derealization myself. It still comes back periodically. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, even people who have been shit to me. It's been ... well, I don't want to say nice, because there's nothing nice about your having it ... but nice to see someone else talk about it. I appreciate that you do. <3

I'm so sorry to hear that your album's release was pushed back (( But also I'm shining to know that it'll come out on my birthday ☺ I love you so much as an artist and as a person and your I can't think of more exciting thing as living through your music stepping in my 21st year of life <b>-</b> I wish you sunshine during this though times and believe with all my heart that soon enough life will bring you wounderfull flights 💛💛💛

I found you on Spotify first, then found your YouTube when I googled you...my thought process was you were a singer that did YouTube on the side. Had no idea you started on here


I wish I could have the same emotional release you're experiencing now with your ab*ser. When i reached out to his girlfriend to warn her, she didnt believe me. I don't think their relationship was bad the way ours was, which makes me feel more crazy... now we're going to the same college, & i debate trying to talk to him everyday as closure. im glad ur getting urs, I  hope i get some too.


I currently have derealisation 24/7 for 3 years I wish u all the best it is nice to know that I’m not the only one going through this


Hi dodie! a 4-year subscriber here! I dunno if you'll notice this but, I've been a silent fan from ph, coming back to you every now and then I remember how comforting it is to watch your vlogs and mvs is one of the few moves I do everytime I need someone to be just there. Your songs, your vlogs happy or not, and your sooooothing voice hahahah and most specially you as yourself helped me in overcoming rough areas in life, thank you.

ps: you inspired me to play ukelele
pss: I'm still finding my fav video of yours where you talk abt being scared of growing up
psss: Cheeers to more of what's to be discovered!


You are such a beautiful honest person you are such a valid person you are a beautiful woman  in every way inside and out love you so much dodie that person that abused you took you for granted and lost a precious sweet person


I think that's such an amazing way to think about that. "I'm the villain in at least 10 people's stories." We definitely affect people in different ways and for different things, even bad things. Sometimes we do bad things and it sucks but if it wasn't pure evil, then we have a right to move on from them, too.

Learn from, grow, and move on from* those bad things.


What a beautiful video. So much one would want to say to you but it'd just be a buzz in the comments. Good luck with therapy and hope you work things out!


It's impossible to be supportive and effective with a comment here. The complexity of a simple message. The necessity of not being misunderstood.
Just "thanks for the honest talk. It always keeps people closer. I hope you can feel it a bit. Have a great day dodie"

Random guy on the internet <3


I needed this. I've feel like dodies been very distant lately when I'm trying to get hyped for the album. I completely understand why she's distancing herself from the term "youtuber" though. Labels f-ing suck


I have Derealization and I'm so thankful for this video ❤


dodie, you shush!<br>You’re beautiful and fantastic and I have a major crush on you and I know that I will never know the real you and that’s fine and we love you

dodie, you shush!
You’re beautiful and fantastic and I have a major crush on you and I know that I will never know the real you and that’s fine and we love you


I cannot even say how much you talking about depersonalisation/derealisation has helped me. Knowing that there are other people out there makes it feel a little less lonely so thank you :)


I don't think you're a youtuber... you are dodie. Thank you for sharing more than most others and healthily doing so! I honestly haven't watched a vlog of yours in a while and just decided on a whim to watch this one... glad I did... I also hope that you continue on the path with your depression/anxiety/derealization towards a space that feels less unpredictable and hectic. Having to learn who you truly are and at the same time build a 'new you' from the core through therapy is exhausting. I hope you are as well as you can be and I can't wait to have fun with my friends at a concert of yours! (I should mention as I'm writing this that I'm thinking of all the wrong words I might've use and that is why I'm going to end it now. :P) Truly a gem of a human <3


Dodie, you'll never read this but you are such a special and beautiful human being.
I identify so much with EVERYTHING that you've said.  It's so Crazy 'cause I've been following you since i was 15 (now i am almost 21, yikes!) and I have also been to your concert in Milan.
I've struggled with anxiety, derealisation and depression as well.
Next week, after thinking i finally got rid of that shit I'm going to recover in a mental health hospital, and I'm so scared even if i know it's the right thing.
Love you a lot, take care sweet soul.
Lot's of love, Isabella.


I love those types of videos.

As someone who was never taught a lot about mental health, people or relationships, I don't understand myself and am terribly anxious around others.
Consequently, others are my source of information on  how to manage relationships, thoughts and feelings. But people don't open that easily about those things, so this types of videos (and songs :3)  are ways for me to learn and better understand myself and others.

I'm forever grateful to be able to watch his. Hearing you admit you were villain to other people without slandering yourself, I may be able to believe it's ok to live fully, even if it means hurting others.

And God, I so wish I could do music.


I know you stopped posting these types of chats because you felt you were oversharing but this felt different to before - like a really well thought out, measured update coming from a place of just the right amount of emotional stability and vulnerability. It's been really reassuring to have you share thoughts many of us have ourselves and inspires conversations that are greatly needed.


I appreciate the honesty. As you said. It is a world of show. I like that not everyone feels the need to put on a show ALL the time.


Dodie. Word for word. Hard relate. Big respect for doing what you need to do for you, sharing what you feel comfortable sharing and holding onto what you want to keep private. You're incredible, we are the generation that are learning to heal ourselves x


have had a rubbish few mental health days, this video was like a virtual hug, thank u :)


This may sound weird but this video is my favourite on the internet right now.


glad u shared with us in ur own discretion! <3


Thanks for defending your younger self and also looking at her honestly, that is really cool to see.  I think that both are a kindness to yourself, I hope.  Gee the nervousness about friend families shifting did hit a little bit though.  I am angry often that I cant just scoop up all of my friends and have them all in the same place at the same time eating the same food with the same music.  I hate the chapter divisions of my life so far!  I want it all at once!
I refuse to wait for my wedding (which may not happen)
or my funeral (which will be hard for me to enjoy I think)
to have my dream.  But it's nice to be reminded that I can enjoy the friends I have immediately around me right now and not feel guilty.

Ahaha !! Do it! After panny d ofc
But why not! Have a fake wedding

I know the feel tho
🖤


Oh wow! Your album is coming out on my birthday now!!


I wish you peace in your mind. A lot of what you're thoughts are, in my opinion, are normal for a 20-something year old. Just think by the time you figure out this internal questions you hit your 30s and you get a whole new set. 😜


Thank you for making me feel less alone...


Man I do really cherrish getting life updates from Doodie in my recommended feed


This might mean nothing to you, but when you were showing clips of your younger self I found myself giving me a hug. My BPD and depression have been bitches to me this week and that was a reminder that sometimes I need to take care of myself as if I was still that little kid because I need that sometimes. <br>Then I saw you were hugging yourself, too. It was really comforting, as everything you upload. Thank you <3

I don’t really know what to say except that I’m glad I found your channel


Was recently talking about this kind of loneliness with a friend. It is kind of validating hearing that those thoughts are shared by someone else outside of my circle, so I'm glad you brought it up Dodie. As an underclassman in college, the older I get the more I get concerned about my 'bodily loneliness' as well, but when I tried comforting my friend I realized that I should probably give myself that same kindness...


Ahhh man!!! Your an absolute hero!!! If I was 10 years younger 😜😜😜


the little snaps and claps at the beginning brought me back and i love it so much


This was amazing, and honest. And amazingly honest. And Amazing BECAUSE honest.


Completely relate to feeling lonely whilst having friends


2:53 ok wow I didn’t know anyone else thought that way•_•I feel so...refreshed ? I’ve been vibin with Dodie for years but I’m relating on a whole new level rn


You’re so beautiful and strong and honest. You’re doing better than you think love xx 🥰


So strong of you to be honest and speak for such personal things that trouble you. Sorry you are going and went through some tough times. Love you dodo


I’m dealing with derealization/depersonalization as well. It sucks. I love your voice, honesty and style. Any tips for finding/making friends? I’m not very good at it:( I’m lonely as well and don’t have any friends really.


This video is quite real, thanks for uploading it


"You can use those words" "WE can use those words." Ugh that is POETRY to me as a survivor.


Hearing about your little flat family lights up an almost smothered ember of belief that I can find some sweet humans to live with too.


I couldn't stop looking at her eyes and eyelashes 😍. They are so beautiful!


I couldn't help but tear up a bit in the youtube part, because it's so fuckin trueeeeee. You grow up, you learn things, every step is valid, maybe i needed to hear that..... So thanks and u doing amazing sweetieeeee


Dodie is, uhm sexy
26 going on 27
Depression is a constant struggle and its difficult realizing youve truly been a villain in other peoples story, why "monster" resonates with me and helps me cry, Hope you continue to grow Dodie, hugs


it probably doesnt matter to anyone but i love the dodie we see today :)


Great vid!  Sounds like you have amazing housemates.


You are wonderful wackadoodle please never change xxx


that thing about taking care of the child inside you. yeah that broke me. that’s. i should probably start doing that. thank you.


So iv commented on a total of 2 of your vids dodie (altho been following you for years). The reaction to 20 vid and now this one. Because I felt compelled both times to tell you how refreshing it is to see your growth and honesty shining on camera. You are truly brave. Much respect and love to you 💕🥰


i relate to the not letting yourself use the right labels thing SO MUCH. i constantly feel guilty using the word trauma for my past experiences. i'm glad to see im not the only one that is going through / that went through not letting themself use the fitting labels


It's okay to feel lonely, you don't need to justify it - you can feel lonely but still not be alone


internal loneliness yeah i feel that too, i wish you healing 🥺💛


You are a very honest person. I hope that is something that never changes.


Your a wonderful beautiful ball of emotions. Xx


the old footage of you made me cry, just thinking about younger me and how she would see me today/think of me today :')


It might just be me imagining something but I have the feeling that you’re singing while talking 🤣


What you said about loneliness hit kinda hard.

But what can you do. I love you.


I feel the same kinda way about seeing childhood videos. I'm like. Wow! Parents. What's that like?


I'm 26 and I totally relate to that very first statement of it sometimes not feeling right at all.


"My friends are still there."  Very important to remember!


i really feel you on the whole 'seeing my child self helps but also triggers me' thing.

and one of my abusive ex's exes is one of my best friends and has been for almost five years.


i recently started playing the yje and i feel the same way dodes but it wasn't easy to learn and im decent at it and I'm getting better so thanks for the thing idk


it's wild to me that your new album is coming out the day before my 21st birthday


You're album comes out the week my little baby is due. Just thought I'd say haha


Thank you for the video, idk just felt like saying. Also, random, but your hair looks amazing.


i'm in a similar boat and i feel the same way as a male, but i keep reminding myself and believe in theres someone out there for everyone it takes time and effort to find them (or well that one lucky moment you come across somebody) - unfortunately this is not the time to go out and find these people.. some day<br>about the exercise thing.. if you feel good and confident in your body, youre fine, but if you (really you not any standards set by whoever) aren't happy with your shape or weight, then it might be time to try and change something

I think you're right saying that denying "youtuber" as an identity is being prissy about it. We are all multiple identities simultaneously and there's no way for everyone you interact with to know all of them, there's no problem with "youtuber" being just ONE of yours, alongside things like musician, big sister, abuse survivor, mental health advocate, goofball, etc., etc.


Hearing you say that you treat yourself like your inner child when you’re struggling with your mental health brought me to tears. Hearing you say “I talk to her and say ‘what can I get you? Are you hungry?’” gave me a similar realization of something else that you mentioned; I realized “why don’t /I/ speak this way to myself when I’m hurting? Why do I only apply that to others?” It was an incredibly meaningful reminder, so thank you, dodie. And thank you for your raw, human, honesty. I know we are all thankful for you.


I've realised I've started talking to myself in a cruel way again, a lot of days it's just quietly whispering "what the fuck is wrong with you??" Whenever something from the past creeps up in my head. But talking to my child self instead could actually work lol.


God damn it I can’t watch a dodie video without hearing bits that could be part of a song...


It's almost like you were 20 yesterday, it's so weird watching someone you don't know grow up


not that you owe it to anyone, but it genuinely helps so much to see someone else taking about the loneliness they feel in trying to work through trauma, i feel like i’m the only one out of my friends that has to do this and working on your mental health is so draining and isolating and you know it’s for a good reason but it all feels very lonely and seeing someone else just say that and not try to hide their sadness makes me also feel really validated and normal. i feel like i’m constantly trying to hide how difficult day to day life is for me because being happy seems like it comes so easily to everyone else


I have a chro ic illness, im trying ukelele inspired by you ! I hope its accessible for my condition


As someone who is trying to get her derealisation/depersonalisation diagnosed (and is currently yelling at the brick wall known as her GP about it) it’s kinda super comforting to know that you’ve found a way of handling it and that’s reassuring to me 💜🥺


my favorite thing about dodie videos is all the comments of people resonating and pouring their hearts out to anyone who will listen. I remember when my only person to turn to was the comforting hug from the void that is a youtube comment section and im so happy that dodie has been that hug for 11 year old me as well as 17 year old me and every step of the way in between. this comment will be buried like all of the others but if you see this know that we love you, that i love you and that you are worthy of every good thing that you have and will recieve. life is still worth it even when the skies are grey <3


watching baby dodie makes me sad even though i dont know her :(


this one is deep.

I can't really say a word that would mean anything so, please do take care

Ps on a side note this kind of makes me feel empowered to try to deal with my on shit, because boy oh boy, here we are again...


Dodie: looks like the same person since a baby
Me: Jealous

Dodie: *looks like the same person since a baby*
Me: *Jealous*


Is it strange that I likethese kinds of videos from you? Obviously I don't want you to feel like /this/, but it just makes me feel like someone else is going through many of the same things and I feel connected to that. I hope making them doesn't harm you. In any case, thanks for making this one. It makes me wish I had you as a friend, but I guess a lot of people feel that way about you. And by the way, if 2:45 ever happens again, you can tell those worries about the time a friend of mine asked me what girls I find really attractive and I showed them your channel. ( Writing that last sentence feels very on the edge of being an online creep, please know that I don't mean it to and I wouldn't have brought it up, if it hadn't been something you were talking about)
Have a nice evening :)


You would be a great candidate for DBT therapy I think ❤

In the way that it’s amazing help for derealization and (I think) the best therapy


god I related a little too hard I look back at videos of myself and how funny and weird and full of energy I was and I almost get mad I no longer feel that way like I had a talent and it got taken from me like a toy from like a naughty kid and then like a kid a through a temper tantrum but "that's just life" like that's not fair I don't know it's nice being validated every now and then


I know it likely doesn't help, coming from a stranger, but you don't have to worry about not being appealing to the gender you want to appeal to, whatever gender that may be. I have been in too many relationships that just ended in nothing because it was superficial. While appearances can be important, its not the most important factor. I can say, if you want to be objectified you will have no problems. I think you are beautiful, and all the words you used. I feel there is more worth than just those visual appeals. As for the exercise, I can relate. I am now 27, going on 28, and I definitely feel I don't get enough exercise. I have been going back out to the local park for a nice morning walk, to get those rays and just de-stress with my thoughts. Seeing nature just has a nice calming effect when you can see it up close. I know I can't talk to you, or even try to help with your worries. You may not even see this message. I do want you to know that there are thousands of us out here just wanting to support you and help you any way we can. I wrote so much that I got tears, joys. Anyway, I hope the days get better with time and that you only keep posting these videos if you want to. Don't feel we are owed this.


Dodie you're voice is the only thing holding me down right now lol


My ex-boyfriend (a good ex, would give him a good review if he ever needed one) once interviewed Martin at a gig at one of the smaller O2 venues (possibly Islington? Not sure). I was a slightly late plus one, and he seemed very lovely and normal when briefly introduced. I didn't know that you would be there, and I think you'd already performed when I arrived, and I remember seeing Evan and other familiar faces in the lobby, though I didn't dare say hello. And then after Martin Orla was on, and I fell in love! She was amazing live. No idea if you remember that evening as you have performed so many times before and since, but it's very nice that as musicians you are all connected and friends; the music world always seemed more competitive rather than supportive in the past, but what do I know?


If I lived in Brittain and I knew you in person and there was no pandemic... Okay this is getting off the point... I would just want to give you a hug. Like the good healing kind, not the type you give to someone you just met but one of those from a close friend or partner where you can feel the other care for you in that moment that nothing else seems to matter anymore. Since all of the things above don't apply, please, for me, (if you want to of course) find someone to give you this kind of hug :) then I'll work on finding someone to do the same with over here


this is so exciting for me too bc my birthday is May 6!!! so I feel like this is my countdown too c:


You being so honest is so fucking healing and validating for so many of us. Thank you. Also, there's a little boy in a red T-Shirt in one of your child videos who looks exactly like my little brother did, so that was cute!
My parents recently bestowed upon me 12 boxes of my stuff that had been in the loft for between 13 and 17 years, so I really sympathize with how weird it is to confront who you once we're and to think if they'd like you. I almost don't recognise myself in my teenage diary entries - I'm definitely a better person now!
Sending much love xx


You are pefect sweetie. As this world is as it was intended with all it's uniqueness.


hi dodes! i think for one of these you should do another taylor swift cover😁


I do the thing where you take care of your inner child thing too! It's weird sometime, but it helps I guess :)


seriously i have nothing but love for this woman


About your mental health struggles, i really believe that practicing meditation/mindfulness is so crucial for all mental health problems - it is about developing a sense of yourself beyond your thoughts, as thoughts are really the carriers of human suffering. Developing a distanced and compassionate relationship to thought. I've suffered from dissociation and as i have committed to the practice of mindfulness i have seen it eventually  begin to dissolve as a result of the lessening of my mental suffering. It is possible to experience consciousness beyond thought. There's a lot of information/teachings out there about it.


ok wait i have a weird off topic comment/question
your hair looks so nice and shiny and healthy in this video! do you have a hair routine or anything or does it just look like that lol.
ive always struggled with my hair so i’d really appreciate it 🤡

(if anyone in the comments also has any tips to make their hair look nice, please tell me your secrets lmao)


i've never thought of dodie as a youtuber


this made me miss the innocence of being young


I think parenting your inner child is the most difficult and weirdest self-care thing a person can do (speaking from my experience at least)


MY LORD i love you dodes. Have the best day - love, me 💛


Ik how hard it is for your album release to be pushed back. But May 7 is my birthday, and I can’t think of a better present. So thank you


"the fake truth of a family that shattered" i've never heard someone describe it so aptly before?? (even if our family shatterings are probably vry different/complex.) i've had a similar-ish feeling w child photos, knowing then-me had no idea what kinds of things were happening. u described it in a way that made me like! woah !! yes !!


I wish I could like this moe than once...❤


its so nice to hear you talk up the ukelele girl trope. dont let anybody talk shit


if it helps dodie, I do see you as a youtuber but also many other things. As a mixed girl I totally get where you’re coming from about feeling like people put you in boxes, so you can only be one thing at a time but IT’S A LIE!! I can be black, and white, just like you can be one of my favourite youtubers and whole damn musician (that composes for beautiful 13 piece string sections 😭). You can own it all, b 💃🏽


ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh just like old times indeed. missed this format so much, it definately feels like a good thing


I also feel a bit lonely on the inside. I miss my friends a lot. I wish I could go see them


I love the way you speak and that artsy thing behind you so much


It sometimes makes me feel lonely that I don’t find people who are like me; one of the perks of not being like everybody else. At the same time, I learned that it’s always better to be alone than have your loneliness increase by the presence of the wrong people. Now I feel like I’m doing the thing I should do in my life, and even without people around, I still feel very happy every day and live a fulfilled life :). Know yourself, find peace with your past and people, and focus on growth instead of goals; thanks what gave me the reasons to love living.


I’m 62 and feel I’ve wasted my life trying to please others. I suffer with depression and anxiety. I lost my dog 3 weeks ago and have sunk dramatically since. I’ve also had some money stolen from my house. I’ve just spent 3 days looking at the wall. I’ve not even got dressed today. I wish I was 25 as I feel 62 is close to death for me. I live with suicidal thoughts and I feel I may do it one day. I come to bed at 7pm as there is nothing to stay up for. I do enjoy your music though. All I ever wanted was music. But let others ruin it for me.


You don't need a box, but if "youtuber" is not right, "Artist" and "Storyteller" are. I could listen to you for hours.


I really felt that when you said that thing about 'Just a girl with a ukulele' ...


Send love! Respect your honesty through this crazy world of internet
so sorry there no magic pill, may be there couldn't be any magic pill for "happy" health state of mind, but i wish it could be
respect your strength to deal with everything everyday
Send love!! (to everyone who read this too!!)

My god Dodie I love you so much I have no words


I've been together with my abusive ex for 3 years and he had a girlfriend after that for a long time (4 years?) and apparently she went through a bigger hell than I did. He has been in therapy for years now since they split up, it has been 10 years since he and I split up and I'm now 27, he is 29 and we are sort of friends!?


I heard your song I hate myself on radio 1 yesterday and it was so wild because I've been watching you on youtube since you were just making songs in your bedroom and it made me so proud of you I actually teared up a bit, so I'm glad you're living your life well and getting help for you mental health. love you<3


Your hair looks so healthy and luscious xxx


ive found that the only way to fight brain foggyness to the point where it feels like you have contacts on and everythings in plastic wrap his might be dumb but i put like some 50p pure rose water on my face and that can make me feel more like a human. Also long term its the calling you find thats bigger than yourself to dampen it out.  stay safe guysxxx


You are the best you I have ever met and if it weren't too over the top creepy I would offer to just hang out on line with you. Skype, Zoom or whatever. But I'm almost 3 times your age and we would have to spend the first 10 years chatting about the different worlds we live in on either side of the pond. Keep doing the hard stuff as you can and give yourself permission to take a week off, or a month for that matter. 💛✨


The thing about "friend family shifting" every few years but still being freaked about it... that is so real


This video feels like the epitome of strong


It may be just me, but when I see you I think "if someone told me Dodie was closely related to Karen Gillan it wouldn't surprise me at all".


How do I even know if i'm depressed or it's just my period, how do I even know if i'm just over reacting?


Will Build a Problem be on vinyl? Also most of the sentiments you have, I have as well. Glad you're breaking down walls where you can and being hoisted over overs when needed.

the pre-orders for vinyl have been out for. while now! there is one on her website and then exclusives on both H&M and rough trade! 🎉


Dodie,<br>Have you ever struggled with feeling like your mental health problems aren’t actually mental health problems but they’re just something YOU exclusively go through because of the way you have perceived things for a very long time, and your brain just overcomplicated it? Maybe that was too specific but I guess I mean like, have you ever felt like your mental health problems aren’t real because 1) you feel alone in it and 2) you felt like you brought it on yourself? Perhaps very slowly over the course of years? I don’t know. I guess I just relate to you when you talk about mental health and I don’t struggle with depersonalization but in a more broader way I still find myself relating to you a lot. Do you ever feel like there’s a deeper reason or meaning to your mental health problems that your brain tries to convince you, but you have to remind yourself it’s just your mental illness?

Dodie,

Idk, Dodie seems so lovely and good and like,, chooses that lovely and good? And it's so nice to see


Anyone gonna talk about how cuteeee baby dodie looks 🥰


Dodie, you saying about yourself that you may just be being “prissy” is again, sexist towards yourself. It’s a gendered term, and it is also you belittling your own label of yourself. Dammit, expect the respect you deserve. You’re not “prissy,” and you deserve to say “I don’t feel the box of ‘youtuber’ fits me,” without feeling like you have to walk back on it or defend/explain yourself. You be you. Stay strong, and thank you for the light you bring 💕


I think this is a new fave for so many reasons


Albums coming three days before my birthday hell yeah!!


5:31 YES ugh there are too many people in this world who would view someone who is a bit “overbearing” and “has no boundaries” it’s like THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF THE REASON PEOPLE BEHAVE A CERTAIN WAY IS BECAUSE OF THEIR CHILDHOOD/TRAUMA/ETC and people just generally need to have more empathy UGH okay sorry


please stay safe <3 im sending u all  the love


Derealioso! I made it up it means = I'm thinking of you and your depersonalisation, I appreciate you and your music, I admire you and I thank you.


Dodie one of your songs was used as background music in german love island lol<br>Just wanted to tell you, I thought maybe it's a little fun fact to brighten your day. :)

It's hard to listen to dodie talking about very serious subject, while being so pretty... I just want to focus on her magnificent hair, but her topic is to important


I love your make uuuup! you look stunning✨

It's probably like an internal loneliness... and a BODILY LONELINESS

OH LAWDY 🙃


the ukulele thing. I CRIED. a popular artist on youtube called Elise Ecklund inspired me to play the ukulele about 4 years ago when i was 11 and i loved it so much. i have three ukuleles of the three sizes but about two years ago i started playing guitar. i’m not as good on it- obviously- it’s a whole lot harder but my internalised sexism really just wiped the ukulele from my mind and i barely pick up either instrument now. joining my GCSE music class- of about 16 people, i learnt to realise not long ago that when i brought my ukulele into class, people were not making fun of me. people actually liked it. they thought i was so talented. i don’t care if i’m the “ukulele girl” because i know i’m a whole damn more than that. i’m going to pick up my ukulele this afternoon. not for anyone but myself.


I don't usually write comments, because I'll fuck up them with my English, but when videos of her childhood came I just felt how my eyes got filled with tears???? Like I'm not a constant watcher of Dodie's channel, but still she takes one little space in my heart and things she say are so meaningful for us though she speaks so casually and it always like an important chat with a friend about life. I don't know how I want to lead these thoughts, but damn.. thank you for just being yourself with all your flaws


I KEEP LISTENING FOR A SHIFT IN KEY BECAUSE OF WHEN SHE HID A SONG IN HER VIDEOS AND THEN I REMEMBER THAT IT'S LITERALLY BEEN YEARS WHAT-


you looked so much like Matilda as a child. I like to believe that older Matilda would look like you


Doddie reminds me a girl that i met in the university, she is the most beutiful woman i ever seen in my life, for one thing or another nothing happen beetween us, but you never realize that for other people you represents more that you could understand, just like that girl to me


Hopefully helpful reminder that loneliness doesn't necessarily have to come from isolation (although at the moment it probably does as well) but from feeling disconnected. Maybe you're not as close to the people around you as you want to be or maybe you are self-conscious and don't feel like you fit in or (speaking as a fellow spacey person) maybe you feel disconnected from your life or yourself in general.
I often feel lonely even when there are people close to me and I try to find comfort in knowing that they will be there, waiting for me, until I'm ready to reconnect.
Take care everyone 💛


I swear I’ve adapted your mannerisms so much


Leave a like if you think Dodie is the most precious being of our time!!


Hey Dodie, if it's any consolation (and I know how annoying and unbelievable this sounds in the thick of derealization) there is an end to derealization/depersonalization!! I thought I'd never get out of it after five years but after talking to a councilor about some ~traumatic~ events that I had tried so hard to bury for years, it went away in the matter of a few weeks. When it's over you'll be so struck by the rawness and beauty of everything- it's so much more freeing than anything you can imagine whilst experiencing symptoms

@doddlevloggle Thanks so much, it's been amazing! I always think about everyone experiencing it rn and I'm really routing for you all to overcome it 🖤 I'll be waiting for the day that you announce that it's gone, and until then good luck!

Waaaow! That’s what I’m trying! Am so happy for u <3


the felt like catching up with a friend <3


ill cheers to the women playing the ukelele stereotype being rooted in sexism. It's crazy how things that are accessible get bashed, especially in the hands of a young girl.


2:43 - you should join the "Guys posing in front of a mirror thinking they are sexy and buff or they're getting there"-club. And don't worry I can get you in, I'm the president.
My (not really beer-)belly is in truth a powerbelly, I recently discovered that, while watching a guy lifting 500kilos of the ground and thinking I'm in my bulking phase right now (without the exercising part), too.

But for real, your level of honesty and openness is probably very helpful for all the young ladies watching. To me it's just inspiring and I hope I can be as honest to myself as you are someday.


Oh my gosh you look the same as you did when you were little. Such a cutie!


im 16 years old and i feel the worst i’ve ever felt. a lot of it i know is just me being dramatic and stuff bc i’m like that but it’s gotten so bad and i can’t communicate what i’m feeling half the time and i’m losing my friends bc i’m turning into what i’ve strived to not be, a bitch. hearing you speak about this stuff genuinely comforts me since i’m not used to feeling so shit for such a long period of time and i’m just trying to get through every day. i think one day everything will be okay .


We're going to be turning 26 on the same day. I'm so anxious about it


Don't worry, Dodie, most people are depressed. I am depressed too! (My depression is related only to finding a job though). But you are a brilliant artist! So talented! I love your music so much! In fact, I listen to your music almost every day! lol ... I like yellow Dodie too "Would You Be So Kind?"


I missed your ethereal chorus opening :(


Little Dodie awakes the inner child in all of us


I don't believe we have had the virus issue as bad here in Texas as you have had there.  There will be no return to the old times but I have become adjusted to my bespoke mask and wear it every where.  Texas is now open, sort of, though some places do require masks and spacing. best wishes, spirits and weal.


petition for dodie to cover Amanda Palmer's Ukelele Song!!!!


i missed this! feels like i'm catching up with a friend


Reflecting with my younger self is something that I talked about in therapy literally today and I find it so painful but healing. I can’t help but feel at times that she wouldn’t like me. But I’m learning to be okay with that 🤍


I 100% understand that not being tiny and pretty and flexible and fuckable. I literally have a living boyfriend who whenever I say something along those lines reminds me that he loves me the way I am but the thought is still there... niggling it's way to the front of my brain


Thank you for sharing so beautifully and vulnerably with us Dodie!! Your sharing normalizes these feelings and helps to others acknowledge what they're going through as well :)


Dodie, you are  Princess Ukelele, Queen of snowboards ice-creams and lonely cats. And I guess you should support Liverpool FC because they are the best.


My only opinion on your life is that YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND TALENTED


I am flying from Alaska to see you. I will be the travelling Birthday Boy.  You are awesome!!


all I can hear is arms unfolding whenever she pronounces words help


I can't be the only one who noticed when she sung barely lol

I tHoUgHt yOu SaiD NeVeR aGaIn


as much as it sucks that the album is pushed back aGAIN, it now comes out just before my birthday so i’m choosing to think of it as the pandemic making up for everything by gifting me with dodie for my birthday <3


im not sure what this is about yet but you look stunning dodie ily


Love your music. I suggest getting a job. OU course.Train.Make yourself useful.


About ur ex, maybe you were always going to be kind about it to yourself at some point and talking to her happened to bring that kindness to you quicker


This is a bit of an odd one, and I don't see a way of not making it sound weird. I record lucid dreams and have encountered incredible synchronicities before.

Is there any chance you've had a dream, possibly last night, in which you were doing some sort of skydiving/controlled safe falling that made you feel really alive and hopeful / joyful. Or did those emotions somehow arise upon wake up stronger than usual?

As I said, sounds odd and I apologise. Much love.


I play ukulele and I'm a boy, I don't care that it's not 'manly' or whatever, I just love playing musical instruments


I really miss your second Build Me Up Buttercup cover ☀🌸🌼


The whole stereotype of girls playing ukuleles. Someone finally said it! I think it's so sexist.


damn...theres always those 8 people that dislike videos like this....


I’m not entirely sure why I’m crying but I’m crying so... hey 👋🏻


She’s saying SONG TITLES in the video “before the line”... I SEE U DODIE


Kid Dodie is super cute, adult Dodie is a gem of the human race.


tag yourself in the birthday party scene, im the pickle that falls to the ground :|


Hows is Dodie almost 26??? Does this means I'm 21?? They had told me no one gets old on the pandemic


love the vid dodie!! also-

CLIPS OF BABY DODIE OH MY GAAAHHHHDDDDDDD-

love the vid dodie!! also-

*CLIPS OF BABY DODIE OH MY GAAAHHHHDDDDDDD-*


I am definitely not the villian in some people's stories. Maybe a mean side character in some. But I'm not it enough people's stories to be a villian anywhere.


On the topic of wanting to be the stereotype of the perfect women. What you talk about you hating that you are not sexy or small is what I feel like. I always feel like I take up too much space, but at the same time I feel like my body is not enough. If someone else had my body I would think they are beautiful, but because it’s mine I think it’s disgusting. I’m glad that I’m not the only one feeling this way.


Why is baby dodie so much more British than adult dodie someone who understands accents and/or children please educate me


The thing about nurturing your inner child is so important - as in it must be because my therapist keeps telling me that lol - but it's nice to remember that you're in the same body you were in when you were born, aged 7, aged 12, aged 16 etc and therefore you should keep those parts of yourself safe and happy just as much as your adult self. I'm going to do that today by having jelly and ice cream because I haven't had it since primary school and it's bomb.


3:58 she said BEFORE THE LINE (one of her unreleased songs)


im sitting here trying to listen for words that sound like a melody.. cause of her secret song in her videos ahahaha


Baby dodie looks like Matilda change my mind


💖💖💖🥰✨🌱🌿🌿😍 I just want to send you hope and love


this video reminded me of "if I'm being honest".


Not the key point of the video, I know. But if anybody disregards a passion for the ukulele, they're disregarding a part of Geroge Harrison. And that's not a normal thing to do 😁 🎶


Yooo that villian comment struck a cord with me that I've never thought of before. I gotta do some rethinking


That was nice. Thans for sharing. Got pretty rare. Take care


"Youtuber" is such a broad term nowadays but people stereotype it so much :/


I think she might be doing another song building by video thing


For some reason I thought the title said “a slice of honey” for like and hour


'The villain in other people's stories' - ouch!


or, right, and I know this is wild but just hear me out, ~you keep posting even after the release~ 🥺


I can’t believe someone who seems as nice as you had an abusive ex but then sadly I can because some people are bastards, I came from a screwed up family with a very screwed up father at your age I guess I was screwed up too but we didn’t do therapy in those days one thing I can promise you is it will pass and won’t bother you anymore (whatever ‘it’ is) I’ve ordered your album from Eel Pie Records in Twickenham will be a great present to self to celebrate lockdown ending! Last thing - why do you and so many women I’ve met, some who have become lifelong friends, who are funny and sexy and gorgeous and have great personalities all think they are unattractive to men? (Or women or whatever gender you like) you’re all wonderful and some like you are extremely talented.! There is another girl on You Tube who always ends her videos with ‘Peace Out’ so gonna nick it ... Peace Out!


"A fake truth of a family that shattered" owie owie owie


weird to be watching a dodie video and learn that martin lives with her...


Oh my god I'm in love with you, am I bi? I might be bi?


what do you do for a living? I mean have you always done music or?


She is so human but also like so angelic


I'm going to get May 7th tattooed on my body so it can't change


I didn't know you lived with greta, i love her


@2:45 erm...  you definitely are all of those things.  You're a wee stunner.

@2:45 erm...  you definitely *are* all of those things.  You're a wee stunner.


If it’s any help, the 7th is my birthday, so as sad as it is that’s it’s delayed, it’s made it a birthday present for me 😂


"I faked truth of a family... that shattered." ouch


I know this is a stupid question but do you drive?😂


3:58 “before the line” is that a build a problem reference? wink wink

@jpsgomes eu ia dizer rolê aleatório mas eu que decidi ir atrás do comentáriokkkkkkk tenha uma boa tarde 😗✌

@isitthemoon oi amigooooooo iasjsdaoksdsakidsa

ACHEI O COMENTÁRIO 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

@doddlevloggle asjudhasudjsa u are so cool! cant wait for bap

lmao honestly it’s just a phrase I use a lot which is probably why I titled the song that but
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think like o shit maybe i should hide song titles in these vids but

I cAnT bE aRsEd


my adhd brain trying to listen to her but gets distracted by her hair constantly moving all directions


I’m be honest I read that as honey and I was really fucking confused


oh wow i am so very early and i love you dodie


Making friends with your depression ... am there
Family tradition... Hank Williams Jr.
It’s how I know I’m alive.. looking for a substitute friend...
Meh


I want to move to London but how to find such good flatmates? 🧐🧐


I live with depression. Depression is not my friend - it's the ugly monster under the bed. The one I fight for my survival. But then again - sometimes - it is the thing I know. And that can sometimes look like a friend. But I have real friends! The best friends. But I'm still lonely - because friends are not always enough. I hope you remember to be strong! And you are a very beautiful woman! Sadly I'm an old, fat guy. Therefore my opinion doesn't really count.


Dodie! Listen to Ukulele Anthem by Amanda Palmer. Just do it.


I'm so here for this message but is anyone else getting hints of another scrapbook song?


I kinda think about you more as a musician than a youtuber.

Though it's maybe just another label, huh?

"Nice creative person" may be more precise.


Being a young adult right now is so fucking bizarre. I promise you are so not alone in these feelings and realities.


hang on HANG ON. I'M not brave, I'M not honest, and I'm certainly not funny >:(

@doddlevloggle i hope u know my sister and i quote this all the time.. british accent and all


GUYS DODIE WAS LITERALLY 21 LIKE A WEEK AGO WDYM SHES NOT 25 I DONT BELIEVE IT


What's "the line" at 3:58? Anyone know a video where that's referenced?

O sorry I just mean there’s a line in my life where trauma happened! A before and after


I've got nothing to say honestly other than the obvious, the common.


ow i'm here early!<br>love from brazil 🇧🇷


DID I HEAR YOU SAY BEFORE THE LINE IS THIS A HINT


She said something about the song “angry” and a abusive ex...can anyone tell me what song that is?


No views, 307 likes, and 34 comments. Gotta love Youtube :)


Hmmm I feel like this is dumb but are u okay?


you should probably just go work out, that's all there's to it. And shit you do to others, that's your cross.


Proud of u. You’re doing so well. Coping is hard but youre doing a good job


Listen to ukelele anthem by Amanda Palmer


dodie this is very unrelated but r ur flowers dead?
