Kenny: BACK IN THE DAY PEOPLE DIED or survived
😅😅
Simpleken is Kenny destigmatizing therapy and I couldn't be more thankful. To get these snippets of how a therapist deals with your issues, the positive self talk and how a therapy is conducted helps a lot in managing our expectations and also realizing how helpful the right therapy can be. Many of us don't really have the privilege to know what happens in a therapy session because it is expensive and none from our social circle have visited it due to stigma. These snippets are esp helpful in these cases.
Hey Kenny, i have broken up with so so so many friends in all my life. Reasons range from feeling used, feeling disrespected, feeling dominated, to feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes when I'm awake at night and i feel guilty. How do you overcome guilt over cutting off a friendship, no matter what the reason is.
This hits so close to home! I just blocked one of my closest relationships ever, I opened CZcams and I saw your comment. I usually don’t explicitly break up with people, but I usually get tired of being treated a certain way and become completely honest with them. That sort of changes things. Although, these people taught me sooo sooo many important things and I have amazing memories with them. That’s why I usually am thankful to them for what they have done for me (usually to heal or grow) and thankful for the memories and some I still stay sort of in touch with them. My narrative of that relationship changes but deeeeeeeeeeeepppp down I am always grateful (even though I say some vile things when I rant about them). It also helps to tell someone how you’re feeling…sorry I know this is a long comment but hope it provides some consolation.
Don't worry, that's me too
It's simple the more honest we are, the more break ups with frnds .. that's how society works i think so
Seeking therapy has two problems:
1) hella expensive
2) unable to find good therapists
I personally went to multiple therapists and didn't have a good experience with any of them
I am sorry, hopefully something works out soon 😔
Great episode. You're just love. The sign off always puts a smile on my face, it's that sweet and pure and innocent. Thanks for coming up with this idea of doing a long recording of you talking.. it's a pure gem. Thanks so much. You have no idea how it has helped me go through life the couple of years since it started. Love much!! ♥️
Man! This EXACTLY what I am going through, and it is sucking me up. Having to listen to this podcast is the universe validating my emotions.
I am telling you straight up man Kenny, out of all your projects this has to be your best project in so many levels. You have no idea how many lives you have been changing. Thank you man! Really. God bless.
crocheting and watching this long recording of kenny talking is a very fine combo🤌🤌
Hi Kenny! This episode really, really resonated with me! Just went through a bad friend break up and cut off a few friends. Cutting them off and maintaining boundaries is something extremely difficult for me because my personality includes a lot of people-pleasing and deprioritizing my own needs, so to say it simply I’ve “emotionally invested” a lot into my friends and their happiness. So to be sorta betrayed by them has left me really hurt. I ended the friendship so it looks like I’m the bad person, and there’s a lot of like backbiting going on which makes me question if there ever was a friendship even, but I do appreciate the good times but it’s so hard to find a middle ground. I don’t see why we can’t end a friendship without making the other seem like a bad person?
Either way, the episode really, really resonated with me. Choosing yourself over friends that you’ve really loved and prioritized at times like this is just so tough. But these podcasts have just helped so much. They just sit with you like a comforting hug.. thank you!!
I also go to therapy and you’ve really motivated me to actually start. tbh I’m very self aware so didn’t want to go to therapy but therapy has helped me understand what to do with self awareness and really just sit with myself and undo the effects of people-pleasing etc.
There’s soooo much this video made me feel, even with parents. I come from an abusive household but I also was raised with a weirdly soft heart so it took me a lot of time to understand and realize the hurt I’ve been put through. Alot of this people pleasing and other ways of just not being present for myself is because of my upbringing. Therapy has helped me work on these things!
Thank you Kenny! So much love! Hope you and Trace enjoy and love your new home! Thank you for the video!! Much love from Sri Lanka!
i really resonated with your point of view that friendships can also be toxic but not necessarily those people are toxic.I did move on and broke some friendships this year and it felt guilty at start.But, whenever that thought pops in my head now ,i try to remember a line told by a dear friend "all people are good just that some might be not good for you " :)
#simpleken
Hey Kenny! Last two months have been a tough time for me. I've been binge listening & re-watching your earliest episodes again which has been immensely insightful and grounding.
In this episode you talked about breaking friendships. I'm 22 and I have never been in a constant friends 'group' Throughout my schooling I shifted between groups as I am person who can fit in anywhere but it seemed like no one really wanted me in their group which made me feel that I don't belong with them. Joining college was an eye opener. I learnt a lot of things and the changes I've been through are massive. I have also been going to therapy since Jan this year which has also significantly helped me grow.
My question is that I can't help but look down/ judge my friends who choose to live in their own bubble. Despite having the resources and knowledge they choose not to be concerned/aware about certain issues. I feel like there are certain universal things that everyone should be worried about like the environment and climate change. I don't know how not to judge them or still have conversations with them knowing that have a (for a lack of better word) conservative/orthodox mindset about a lot of things.
The solo episodes you make are actually really good
Half way through and yes I needed this today.
Thanks Kenny.
People might troll you for 1000 different things but remember there are a million different things which you have said on simple ken which has got me through some tough times and this is one big reason to be grateful to you and love you.
I never have asked questions but I find my solutions here.
Thanks Ken ❤️
The parents' segment is 💯
Thanks so much for such a sweet and kind message Raunak ❤
Hey Kenny!
Going through a similar phase in life. 31, single and friendships ending left and right. So I feel ya…not a great feeling but I did it because I wanted to protect my mental health and prioritise myself for once.
I guess adulting and growing up makes you realise the things you can actually let slide and things that are not funny or ok to do anymore.
Yes getting over friendships is very hard but I believe if one takes such a step after years of friendship, subconsciously something about that friend did not sit well anymore and ending that friendship was inevitable.
Anyway, love always and wish all the best things to you and the Simple Ken community ❤️🤗
"me also". Just wanted to give my two-bits. I have ended friendships that became toxic, not just for me but for them too, meaning that ending it and getting some space was good and required for both parties. In time, we found a place of mutual respect and only wish good things for each other and occasionally check up on each other's well being (on birthdays and life events mostly). You'll hopefully get there with your ex-friends too Kenny.
Great episode and very timely for me since I'm going through some personal shit too
I was also missing the solo episodes. Coz it feels more personal. But friends making appearances is great too. I feel simple ken is refreshing so keep surprising us from time to time ❣️
hey kenny... i just loveeeee ur work dude...its so refreshing to get another perspective on many things u yourselves ponder on...lots of love to you...keep going man...❤❤waiting for more of simpleken...
Simple Ken is always interesting but it's so good to see a solo episode. It's a different feeling, I can't explain, it's really nice :)
I hope you're not too sad about your "ex friends". I guess sometimes it's better to choose to walk away. For our own good.
Thank you for your answer to my question :)
Nooo! I want to feel 10% better! I don't wanna feel shitty🤣
It's so weird to hear you say my name. I love how you just skipped my last name haha
I know you don't give advice but your words are very comforting and helpful. They guide us. For exemple, you said once in your long recording of you talking that even if you're an introvert, you can learn to talk to people. It's a skill like any other. Since that day, I try to open up a little more (I was the kind of person to freeze as soon as there were more than 4 people in a room but now I leave comments and all 😄). I've also thought about seeing a therapist since you recommended it in the past. But at the moment I can't afford it with my teacher salary. I already lost all my savings once (lawyers are really expensive😭It's been 3 years but I'm still broke). However, I am thinking more and more seriously about going to see a therapist so I know it will eventually happen, despite the money problem.
Thank you for taking the time to do an episode just before (now during)the tour.
It's torture to get the notification in the morning but not be able to see the video right away because you're in a classroom full of 3-year-olds 😅
Oh ! You didn't tell me if you would choose to be reborn as a man or a woman. Maybe another time :)
Thanks again for this new episode and your answer to my question🤗
Hello and thanks to Nishanth also :)
What's up Kenneth!
I've been a fan of yours for a long time. I found your long recordings of you talking pretty recently, and since then there has not been a single day in my life without Simple Ken. I saw the episode with you and Rahul, and you guys talked about career paths as an artist. For a whole year I was just pressured by myself and my parents to find a career (they didnt force me to pick any specific career though), and when I said I want to create content, they kept telling me how life can fall apart because of that(mostly financially), so I started rethinking my own passion. It got to a point where many nights I would just cry for like an hour before I sleep, but with help from my friends and mostly long recordings of you talking, Im figuring it out better.I just wanna know more about your thought process when you were 15/16 (I'm 15 btw) about your career and how you became financially independent at 19 cuz it would really help me rn. Lots of love from hyd (pls come once more da) and hope you continue doing simple ken for a long time to come. Really love the podcast (hahahahah)
PS. If you could ft. Hasan Minhaj/Atul Khatri for one of the episodes it would be really nice.
#simpleken
Hi Kenny ! The end part resonated so much with me , I’m so glad I found this podcast and this has become my safe place . So I’d like to suggest you to check out the lyrics by BTS , they have a lore on mental health and a self love campaign .I know it’s strange but I find a lot of similarities between the way you both talk . Most people don’t know about this because of the typical boyband stigma . But I think you would rock with it sm ( you can start w this bts songs :
zero o clock , love myself , paradise , spine breaker , magic shop , epiphany)
These ending friendship conversations hitting damn.
Friendship and realtionship are something which cannot be easily made it is built in trust .. it takes secs to break but it shows your effort to keep it up and maintain it no matter how serious the situation is , we can find many to call as friends but never let go the ones who were with you wen no one was around even to hear your ... A true friend ll speak upfront and not backstab.. A good friend ll lift you up though she is facing her own issues.. never betray a good friend , you never know when life can hit you.... when someone shares their life eith good intention be grateful for it, never run looking for another friend .. relationship has taught a great lesson for being true and good ..
I will also go and see my parents every month now. Thanks for making it that simple.I was having the same thoughts of not spending enough time with my parents.
Hi Kenny, I was at your Hyderabad show with my wife. And we loved it.. great show..
enjoyed every bit of it and wish you the best for the tour.. 🙂
I just thought that I'm the one who is not good at keeping people. Needed that 💙
Thank you so much Kenny ❣️
‘Lingering feeling go away’
Beautiful!
This was a very relatable episode! Thank you for this :) Attended your show at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad, you were incredible! Keep doing incredible things
Wow, you just simplified the qualities we want to see in a person.
1. DON'T HIT US (wow)
2. Respect us as a person
3. Love us
There, 3 golden qualities. ♥️
Kenny thanks for such a wonderful videos it's gives us different perspective of dealing situations,,keep doing 🙏
Got to attend his recent touring show and i was GENUWINELY happy😇😇... Was hoping to get the picture but couldn't... Will keep loving you though 😍
Hey Kenny , thank you for this ❤️
Finally I caught up!!!! before simple ken I've never seen any "long recordings" ever, I just couldn't sit there and listen to some guys talking for like an hour, but around 2 weeks ago I thought maybe I should give it a try, so I started watching your recordings and from the 1st ep. I was hooked, literally stopped watching any other stuff on Netflix , prime etc, and finished this entire series, now I think I've seen all you videos on your channel lol ( I have a full time job as well don't judge ;-; I just love your content )
Not a question but just wanted to say this. I love these long recordings of you talking, this has quickly became one of my most anticipated video series on CZcams. Much love from just another kid from KV :) #simpleken 🥰
Hello fellow KVian :)
Hey Kenny. 👋🏼
I'm in my 20s but I still feel like commenting on this because I've had a lot of friendship breakups in this comparitively shorter amount of time on earth. I've had to cut off two friends of 10 years and multiple other friends. I cannot go into details of each one of them but I genuinely believe that friendship is the strongest bond you can form with anyone. Imo, it is the foundation of every fulfilling relationship - be it parents, siblings, marita, etc.
So i find it suprising that sooo many people never take a moment to guage their friends and how they affect the quality of life. I've had to cut off some friends because they were constantly consuming my time in all the wrong ways; it left me feeling drained & incapable of further action. Some friends pretend to be there for you, but are really rooting for you to fail. Some stick by only because they can benefit from you for a particular thing. Some friends bring a LOT of negativity in your life just because of the way they are as a person, and it starts affecting the way you look at life too.
So basically friends have the potential to ruin or build you. Friends should add to our lives, not make it miserable. Friendships are essentially symbiotic relationships, so aren't we supposed to benefit eo and make eo feel good at the end of the day?
I personally don't feel a lot of guilt when cutting someone off because firstly, I know that I've given them the benefit of doubt for long enough and secondly, something serious happens that drives me to make that final decision. I understand they might be good people but they're not right for me, and neither am i good for them. I'm sure they'll find other people who they bond with better.
Simple ken is best when you do it solo ❤️
I love solo Episodes of simple ken
Helloooo to Nishant! thank you for your work!
God bless you Ken !
Hey Kenny, thanks for this long recording of you talking. It's been one of the most amazing things that happened during lockdown and it's always been one of its kind. I have watched all the episodes twice (till episode 25 I guess). And the one with aakash Gupta, I have watched it 6 times I guess. 😅 much love.
Also, this comment is about the friendship break up thing. I am 21, and even I have had friendship break ups and my grounds for doing it have been
Firstly, they don't have value for my time and they don't respect me for the person I am.
Secondly, they neither take much efforts to maintain it, nor they be considerate about the efforts am putting,
Thirdly, sometimes they are toxic and very much 'negative', which makes me like them sometimes. Coz they put a thought inside my head and go away but then I have to deal with it.
Lastly, they are very self centered and they don't encourage my growth when I need support.
So ya, these are some of my common or usual grounds of cutting of ties with friends. And tbh I am happy I have a clarity about what kind of people are good for me and who aren't.
I've cut off friends too , but it's not easy . Infact it's messy. It also leads to trust and intimacy issues in future relationships, depending on how it ended. I have been married for a few years and I had a friend who just couldn't understand that I didn't want to have children, and would constantly bring it up in conversations, one time she gift wrapped "elevit" (a pre conception and pregnancy vitamin ) and gave it to me as a well meaning present. I had to cut away . It wasn't easy, as we knew each other for years ! Unfortunately over the years I have had to cut off a few people for different reasons. What I have come to realise is that I didn't establish clear boundaries, and was too forgiving. My expectations were also very different to these people and I didn't pay attention to what they were saying/ who they were . I have since been looking at people more objectively for who they actually are ( not what I want them to be) and have started to put myself first from the start of a friendship. I have fewer friends, but definitely I'm less miserable than I used to be.
Kenny guessing what we are doing while I just got done with a mock exam since I have CAT this sunday , hoping this video will give me momentary peace and happiness 🥲
Wish you luck for the exam!
@@KennySebastian thank you!!
IMS and kenny making our life ✨
You're definitely not alone
Just appeared for the last AIMCAT of the season, and started watching this vid😅
@@aishwaryajoshi it’s nice to hear that :) I’m gonna be giving my last simcat tomorrow morning !!
I had two close friends ( one guy and other is a girl ) and I was close with both of them. One day the girl passed a comment on my mental health even tho I was there for her when ever she had an anxiety attack. And I didn't bother to talk to her for a few days. She went crying to the guy friend and after hearing her part of the story he said - " if u want her back U have to loose ur self respect. Do U want her back or not tell me right now ". And after this whole thing they both started dating and they broke up within 2 weeks. And the guy came crying to me. It's been a lil more than a year but I still feel like I am being taken advantage of all the time. Me and the guy are still friends and the girl isn't in our friend circle anymore. At first I cried it out but now I don't even remember any memories I have with her. It's memories worth of one whole year and I can't remember any details from it.
Hi Kenny! Been watching this from the first episode. I like this the most out of other podcasts because it has a very typical calm, simple, South Indian vibe. Clean language, plain conversational and good topics.
Q. - I’d also like to know how you feel about the comedy industry today. Do you think it would’ve been a better time for you to enter the industry now or do you think it was better during your time.
Revisiting this long recording to just feel better about breaking up with a friend.
Also you spoke about the main character disorder before these gen-z kids discovered
Hey Kenny!
You must get a lot of this already, but I'd just like to thank you for putting these long recordings of you talking - they've been really interesting and have gotten me through some rough days.
I'm 17 years old, and I guess the question I want to ask about is more or less about my weird relationship with my father. In India I've usually seen this relationship dynamic is usually pretty strained (or maybe my sample sapce is just like that), and this is something I've stuggled with it a lot.
I've always tried to work to gain his approval, but somehow he seems never satisfied no matter what I achieve - something is always wrong for him. I'm probably sounding like a huge sob, and it's not thag he's rude (in fact he loves me a lot, but I guess we both can't express it).
I just wonder if there's a way to deal with this? Or maybe even fix it?
Anyways, thanks again for SimpleKen! Love your Bengaluru slang by the way :)
Ive ended a friendship cause it was draining me.. always felt one sided and did not feel like it brought me joy or added to my life. at a certain point it becomes cyclical. And it just leaves you no other choice than to distance yourself from the toxicity leaking in your safe space.
It's been 8days of this long recording but I've seen it today...damn:( such kinda slow follower of ur but but but u re now became as like one of my family member whom I meet regular through each and every video :)
I am right in the mid of my 20's and by the way you talk about it being a 30's phase makes me feel really old Ken! :P I had a dramatic experience right at 18 years of age- got diagnosed with Cancer. Now, unfortunately, it is cheesy but true how something like that can change you on a deeper level. It became very clear how important time is and how some people just aren't worth it. Also, stopped drinking and smoking so well, that definitely uninvited me to a lot of parties bwahahaha. I have become a much selective person and sometimes I miss the parties, sometimes I miss being a part of big crowds and feel like something is wrong with me for being so selective because it's not what I see others my age do, but at the same time I am more at peace now, I have time to listen to wonderful people like you and my life is better for it. It sure was a hard decision in the beginning to cut off completely, sadly there is not other way sometimes. THANKYOU for speaking about this, made me feel heard :)
❤
Time for simple simple Keennnnn💃💃 Love the solo episodes(long episode of ONLY Ken talking) ❤️
Saw my very 1st standup show and it was Prof of Tomfoolery🥳🥳 Relatable, Witty, Intelligent as always..I was laughing so hard my cheeks hurt. Also, you look so beautiful in person Kenny(fell in love😫) #Bhubaneswar
Simping simple ken! 🍒
Wow such words of wisdom on parenting 😍
Waiting to see u in Vijayawada, All excited to see you Ken🥰
hey there. I always had problems making friends or maintaining friendships, but I never really understood why? am I a bad person? are they bad? i always tried to blame someone or something (mostly I blamed myself). At 13-16 years I was soo affected by this felt very lonely and always tried to people please. later (18-21) i made really good friends (can say they are my homies) but recently (i am 22 now) I realized even if i have great friendships, even though they are good people, the friendship isn't serving me anymore the way they look at life is very different to mine. Its not like oh you don't talk to me you don't think about me i understand we have our own lives to deal with but the reason I started cutting or like you know stopped hanging around much is because my core beliefs are completely opposite to theirs and limiting the time i spend on such friendships has improved my life so much i am in less conflict and at more peace. I just wanted to share my story and tell its okay to be different and it's okay to prioritize yourself or your needs and make friends accordingly.
Hey Kenny. First of all, thanks a ton for starting this long recording of you talking. You said you won't give advice but honestly I've used a lot of suggestions you have here and it helped me immensely. Thank you for that!! Okay so the question. Quite a few of my friends have told me that I'm funny. And it usually comes up when we have long calls, and my sister has also suggested me to go for an open mic in stand up. Do you think that being funny by nature also means that I can make people laugh, like the massive audience that you have, will I be able to make so many people laugh just because I'm funny in front of a few of my friends?? Paraphrasing what I already wrote...If I'm funny in front of a few people, can I be a good stand up comedian?
#simpleken #simpleken #pleasedorespond
I have been hearing your long recording of you talking for a week now. I like what you're doing and do not stop this. The reason I'm writing this message is that I've always wanted to do a business and have been entrepreneurial for the last two years. But I have not taken decisions and have been planning, talking, and drifting from one thing to the other. but not acting and sticking to it. What can I do to change or at least cope with my innovative cheeky brain to act, do and learn lessons of reality?
Ps: you've impacted my life first with your comedy and now with this podcast... your long recording of you talking:)
I am in my mid-20s, but I am going through contemplating a friendship breakup. And I am not sure how it differs with age group, but for me, I have not felt respected. I feel that I had to disguise my reality in front of them and act like everything was fine with me when it's not. I even did that for the longest time because I didn't want the other person to feel uncomfortable or uneasy as they couldn't take heavy emotions, but while doing that I started to feel suffocated around them. What makes me stay even then is that they still keep on making efforts to talk even when I don't.
Kennyyyyy happy happy happppy birthday broooo. 🎂🎂🥳
Yes kenny, you got it right. I often sleep listening to simple ken 😭. But don't get me wrong, I love it huehehe
My thing with cutting off a friendship with a friend happened 2 years ago, when i was 17. had the same issue of it being a toxic one, which one of my friend made me aware of.
It felt very mature to do that, but now when we are around with some mutuals , that friendship feels like an old relationship, and like it was some kind of story which happened in each of our lives. also, it happened during covid, so every human relationship during the covid times seems to be a deeper one, atleast for me.
(because everyone was looking for some longing, especially us, teenagers.)
Sometimes i think, what if we had let things just be, and acted like teenagers too. but everyone wants to save themselves and be better.
Hey Kenny,
Speaking of friendship breakups, my friendship with my best friend of 10 years seems to have died out recently. He seems busy with his life, doesn't have the time to meet up or chat, etc. I've been having a rough time since covid because I'm not a very social person, and the people I love and like spending time with are very few. I feel like getting upset at him and telling him the hurt this has caused me. But I feel it's unfair of me to blame him and make him responsible for my well-being. It's not his fault I don't have more friends. But when I do talk to new people I just don't like them enough to keep it going or our schedules don't match up to keep in touch. The bottom line is loneliness for me.
What are some ideas for making new friends? With school and college over, and wfh setup, how do I meet new people? I wish my biology did not make me dependant on other people, but WHAT YOU GONNA DO, EY?
#simpleken
This episode♥♥ !!
I don't know by what luck this video has popped up before me bcoz I am watching this series for the first time...but I am going through a similar situation ryt now...I have started to realise that a friend of mine who has been a friend for 17yrs in my 20yr old life doesn't respect me and my feelings enough when we are in a group with her other friends..and she only talks to me when she has no one else to talk to . I know u asked the question to 30s but I am not a 'Genz' genz so u can trust that my reason is not shitty. The thing is I can not muster the courage to cut her off ,maybe bcoz I know her since the first day of my school and also bcoz I don't have much friends(none maybe) so if I unfriend her too I may become socially isolated. I am quite an introvert person who prefers to concentrate on my studies but recently this thing has been knibbling my mind and affecting my studies while she may not have even realized it.
How did u deal with that situation?
Ok I relate so much to Kenny though I'm in my 20's. I recently figured out that there are couple of friends of mine who became toxic for me and still i didn't wanna end it. So I'm in the middle hanging, don't know what to do cuz as PPL they are great but personally for me they are toxic. I'm sure I'll be over it.
And the great thing is in the next 2 days I get to attend ur show in vizag🤟🤟. I'm so excited for it😁
Question: i am hungry
Kenny: Go for therapy!!!!
Hahaha, these episodes are too soothing. Thank you for this.
Hey Kenny!! I cannot express how happy I feel listening to you. I'm abroad and trying to figure out my life here, the job is great, things are great but sometimes I feel I don't belong nowhere you know, like 'be a Roman in Rome' but I cannot connect to friends here, don't connect to their music taste and culture. I'm trying hard but there are some things I don't really want to change like my music taste. I am constantly tore between trying to adjust to the people here and trying to retain my personal interests. I'm in my late 20s and I think it is normal to feel this way. What's your opinion on this?? #simpleken
I am at office, but I have priorities. So I came here straight from the notifications.
Hey Kenny, I'm Ankush
I am a great fan of yours and I love absolutely everything you do
I loved your new show Professor of Tomfoolery which i attended in nagpur( although i didn't get to meet you as i didn't have the golden ticket but you were amazing)
And i love simple ken and it has helped through some tough times in my life and even made me introspect on my actions and in some cases made my relationships better (I'm 17 btw)
So my question is that since i became a teenager I've had so much anxiety and stress and I keep overthinking about stuff
It seems that my mind can't stop thinking or calming down
I don't get the same satisfaction from things as I used to get before
Is this because of my age and does it change as we grow or is it because I get excited easily about things and over think and have higher expectations which are never fulfilled which leads to me being unsatisfied.
I thought i may have a higher threshold for happiness or satisfaction because maybe my tastes changed but maybe it's because I have mental issues like anxiety and stress that hamper my day to day life
Again love you and this long recording of you talking

Hi kenny!! I have been in really limited circle of friends. But ended up breaking with two friends last year. Well i am 30 now. Almost all my twenties they were my best buddies.Multiple times facing the same situation/mistake, i just fed up. But it was really hard to do it. Keeping their mistake aside i tried talking to them. With one friend, When a problem hits that friend started talking bullshit about the personal things what i shared before. There i felt its time to move on, came out of it. Initially i felt confused. Later i felt it was a good decision. Now i feel i overshared things.
Nah, it's fine. I'm sure the people here are chill. Like Kenny says, try and get a therapist, or talk to someone you know and trust. Cheers!
Hi kenny sir
I’m Neha I was just listening to your recent podcast about taking responsibilities
So the last question by one girl was really something I was going through and coincidentally I’m Neha so I felt you were talking to me
And speaking of therapy I had therapy back in 10th and now I’m in 12th and you get a lot of distractions and a lot of obstacles which I think you know what I mean because I’m not able to express them properly
But I’d like if you speak about the distractions and obstacles which almost half of the young population go through .
Also lots of love to you and trace ma’am

Kenny , I came to your show yesterday in Vijayawada. You travel alot. How do you keep up with your health ?
Sry for putting this question on entirely different subject video
Your Thoughts on living in relationship is it necessary in Today word or what if we r still studing does it change anything ?? Btw I'm 3 year med student
It's such a Kanan-drum #simpleken
Love your watch face
what a cute coincidence i am watching this today on ur birthday
i heard u mention ur birthdate in this video and i realised it's your birthday today, today is December 31st,2022.
Happy Birthday Kenny 🥳🥳🥳
Love you and me eppisords
#simpleken I thought you meant for your intro song to be ironic, you know like the chorus humming "uhu hu hu". Ironic in the sense mocking podcasts or shows with intro songs. Is this right or just a happy coincidence?
Please don't say you broke up with kannan if you have done than can't do anything about it! But as soon to be 18 it's kinda giving me some stress. It feels like I'm growing up soon and imature since i have not figured out anything. It just so confusing and idk what to do since it feels like Life is going in backward direction while others are moving forward (I'm in 12th my classmates Are in 1st year of respective degree I'm happy for them but i feel bad for myself and I'm jelous about it !) It just like if i go to college next to next year I'll have to face people who are younger than me and i really can't process with it. It just gives major stress for alot reason. Btw Love your all episodes of you talking...
OMG yayyy
It's really nice to hear u talk about Random things Kenny ! I am 32 years old and many things u say i can totally relate to ! I have been diagnosed with a disease that affects my eyes ( outwardly it looks as its closed completely and looks slightly odd) . I have been bullied when i was young for it ... Have undergone operations from the age of 2 years old to rectify it . But the operations have not helped it to make it better . In the past years i have undergone overall approximately 8-9 eye operations always expecting positive results but then it didn't turn out always good. Then i thought enough is enough just to make me look good in the conventional way i don't want to put the people i love through a lot . Cause my parents and loved ones suffer more when things don't work out . There were some people who got cutt off from my life who were a big part of my life during my growing years after i started engineering and working ...who were making me feel miserable which I realised much later .....Thankfully during engineering i got a really good group of friends who encouraged me and motivated me . I am doing pretty well now working a good job as lead engineer, but i have a hard time dating / arranged marriage as well. Because in this fast paced world people judge you even before they talk to you or get to know you. I feel i kinda missed out on things by not dating. Sigh ! Just wanted to rant about this . Cause there probably may not be a solution for this unless maybe i go abroad ? #simpleken
Friendship breakups hurt more for sure ._.
I had to break up over an email for god's sake!
When Kenny has become life coach 😅
I still remember him as a stand up guy who plays jokes 🤓
Macha totally not going for that. It’s genuinely thinking out ideas and conflicts. Not meant for anyone to follow.
@@KennySebastian 😂cool macha ❤️✨

People will judge you when you’re going through lot of these mental issues 😢that’s my experience and it’s unfortunate
16:38 Aahhhh shit!!!!!
#SimpleKen Hey Kenny , first off love you , love SimpKen , hope you’re doing well. As for the question , what do you think of arranged marriages ? I’m fortunate enough to not have seen any failed marriages among my near relatives , but isn’t arranged marriage a gamble ? What if you’re not at all compatible with the other person ? Or is it the other way round? That no matter who it is , given you spend enough time with them , as long as there are no major issues, you grow to love and learn to live with them ? What do you think, being a married man? P.S. told this in another comment of mine, but I might be starting a podcast running along the lines of SimpleKen , but you can’t accuse me of plagiarism cause you yourself admitted that this isn’t a podcast. :)

#simple cenny Hi cenny... I have questions -i have lost of people around me. I can say that I'm the one who holding them
I'm a type of person who just afraid to loosing people
At same time i feel alone with peoples I love ..and I feel like my parents also want me around them because of my money.
I'm just not connected with anyone around me because everyone have someone special in there life and I'm left alone when the found of their special one. They don't pay attention on me but wanted that I should available for them whenever they want me but I am still love them now just I want your advise that what you think that I am the one who is problem or they are

We share same birthday date 😊
Are we back to Ep 1? Why is Ken explaining the show 😂
Hahaha I always try to give a refresh to new listeners so they don’t feel left out :)
How do you break up w a friend in general? At this point/age I prefer to just ghost or ignore them since you can avoid the mental toll it takes to have that conversation and also keep your tone in check since you dont want to be rude to them. (You don't know how they'll take it as well) how did you do it Ken?
23:48 bro.... pickup the phone.. I'm panicking!!!!!!!!!! yrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hey Kenny I have started watching Stand Up Comedy with your videos, I don't know there aren't any show videos on your YT, I really miss those videos, please comeback Kenny, we really miss your stand up show videos
I have two hour long specials on Amazon and Netflix, if you want to see more stand up you can come see my live in your city :)
@@KennySebastian Thank you Kenny, I'll definitely go through them, unfortunately you don't perform where I live, but if I ever move to one of the cities, your show is the first one which Imuna go❤️
Yayyyyyyy
I Live in this State Kenny and i know to pronounce it wow thanks for giving me a feeling of acheivement 😁 This with the Friends who u need to leave at one point i totally get it coz i recently discussed with my husband about a couple who we know the girl is lovely but the guy is just a depressed asshole who cannot be happy for anyone and is extremely jealous of everyone i love having the girl as a friend but she always wants to meet only with her BF and that level of toxicity we just dont need in our lives. So "We don't talk anymore, like we used to do" 🤣🤣
i cant even find friends and here people are breaking up. dukh dard pida.
