Don't discount the value of your online presence. I love your heartfelt words. Life really is a journey of self redemption. There is a balance of pushing for change and acceptance of the inevitable. Ren walks this line out loud to show us we are not alone. Ren did a series of Instagram Stories on the one day he was ahead of the Rolling Stones in presales  of his album. You would so relate to those. I'll look for them for you. Your words could so be magic for someone else. Hang in there.

You're a good dude. You might only be taking part in the Internet world at the moment, but the keywords there are 'taking part'. I totally get the being crap at keeping up with friends. I'm terrible at that, too. Keep up the fab reactions, you're doing a fab job!

@Stewart-m7i

I'm loving your Ren reactions, you express yourself very well. Getting nearly 30K subscribers is an achievement. Cold steel related to self harm not a gun.He's become a voice for the voiceless & those Gaslit by the Medical Industry.

@EarthyBlendPOV

He has a vid on Renmakesstuff where he creates that sound you like. I think you’ll be surprised with what it is!

@francesdoll4039

Ren was talking about his 8 Chapters which he released a year ago and then released the song Troubles.

Hey.  I’m a therapist (no, I won’t push you to go to therapy - though I can help even just to process).  I feel you though.  Plenty of people fall into inertia that starts with overwhelm and morphs into its own multi layered abyss.  For what it’s worth, putting yourself out there online in this format is a great way to crack open the dusty shield of human interaction (even if it’s just virtual).  

Ren has such incredible language for his stories.  You are not much different: insofar as you are able to articulate your bind.  I really appreciate your reactions because of its evident authenticity and bluntness.

Nihilism is delicious when you’re been hidden.  Don’t just try to plunge into positivity.  But keep playing with this format and read your reaction comments.  I hope it gives you a steady stream of a belief that you are, when in doubt, an expressive person when you’re in control of the social pressures.  Keep those social muscles limber on this platform.   Maybe it’ll pop you open one day to stepping into corners of the world. 

My favorite saying (learned by one of my clients with social phobia) is “Try to stop ‘Should-ing’ yourself”. 

Oh, and give the accoustic version of this tune a listen.  It’s fire. 

Peace!

@spellcaster7893

I think this is my favourite reaction that you’ve done because I can see how much you relate to every word.  Ren teaches us there is always hope, no matter how old we are, no matter where we are in life, there is always hope.   I hope you find a way forward, however that looks for you. 🖤

@frontfit

Loving your Ren reactions. Appreciate your opening up.

@RhondaTomassi

Big hug to you. I feel like you could use it right now. Much ❤.

@DennisVermeer-f6f

Yes Lad we need to go out to explore!!Get your ass of that seat and go Lad!Love your reactions to Ren❤

@michaelwalsh7359

There is a playlist on RENs YouTube titled “troubles” within it are 8 “chapters” of RENs struggles. It’s an incredible story!

@Aqua-oe

Great reaction! Thank you for sharing your experiences ❤

This song was released after Ren’s Chapters which he told his life story. Total of 8 chapters with songs at the end related to the chapters and at the end he released this song as a result of the chapters. 

Idk if you want to react to chapters. I would definitely recommend watching it but sharing it is up to you. They are intimate, some reactors do some don’t. I would watch it either way ❤️

@JQEstrada

I hear you about re-connecting (or not) with dear friends, through the invisible obstacles of a divisive and uncomfortable world. It's also so easy to lean on a sedentary life nowadays that a lack of troubles that are perceived as real and harsh can become some sort of trap. That duality becomes very ironic - without the pain comes a pain that some of us haven't figured out how to face, since it feels like a fake problem. Survivor's guilt, lack of self esteem, depression, isolation, all of that and more can pile up and spiral really quickly. 

Thank you so much for holding on and spreading the message and insights. Somehow, even though I understand the feeling of living like a digital ghost, it's interesting that we're connecting on these topics, and so far away from each other - I'm in Portugal here, and you and Ren (during this the video) in Canada. Maybe we just need a simple step to implement this knowledge and feelings in our real lives? Thank you, sending real best wishes!

@marie-evechayer3098

8:07 I think what he is trying to say here is more about experiencing constant pain. Of course us humans are always going to suffer some kind of pain during our life time but we will also experience moment of peace and bliss. We  should, as a species still strive to ease pain especially in case where the pain last for years without letting go. Great reaction and yes I do believe a therapist would do you good, the fact that you started opening up to us Renegades is also a step in the right direction.  Love and healing from Montreal 💜 💜💜

@MrsApplegateart

RENegade Applegate sliding into your comments again to say, “ I really enjoy your breakdown…. You can definitely tell you have a knowledge base and i love learning new things…so keep on keeping on your RENiverse journey. 

You know the pain had to be so bad that he forgives God for going through it because the final relief was so profound.  Wow.


Thanks for sharing your struggle… you’re not alone in that…. I’ve done the same… since covid and for some similar reasons.  Loved your reaction!

I appreciate your frank comments

@wild-teasel

Oh, keeping in touch with friends.. 🥴😖 Thank you so much! 🫶 
And- you're not alone! Hugs from far away Estonia! 🫂🇪🇪

@bonnievonbraun6276

Vera Hall "Trouble So Hard", released in 1937.  Ren purchased the sample rights from her estate.  There is BTS (maybe on Renmakesstuff?) showing him manipulating the sample.  Just amazing.  And so are you. Thanks so much for giving us your time. ❤

I have also not had to battle a bodily illness, but have struggled with my mental health my entire life. And in my late teens early 20s spent all my days in my house usually on Tumblr. I got on some antidepressants and they got me out of the house and into the world, and they also helped me to mask everything i was going through better. And I was able to get myself a career. But the mask became a heavy burden to bear and this person I had become wasnt me. Cut to, a few months ago I got diagnoses with Autism and ADHD. And when I tell you all the puzzle pieces came together. Knowing what makes you different, or ails you seriously makes all the difference. I'm still learning how to be my authentic self, but now I can do it with patience, grace, and kindness ❤
