This is exactly me. My parents were proud of me a few years back, everyone in the family praised me for my mind, said I could do anything I wish. That I am so intelligent and smart and unique. I felt loved and honored. Then few drops in percentage, I was no longer the golden child. I see another girl (my younger cousin sister) who now gets these praises. Earlier I felt jealous and angered. But now I choose to avoid those things. I know I am good, and till I start thinking otherwise I don't need anyone else.

" everyone feels this way and no one said anything " Hit home.

Everytime when she comes with a poem, I just see myself in her. I don't know how she puts all my thoughts into these adequate words. This hurts, yet so beautiful. Kudos to you Rabia ❤❤❤

Half of the population won't know what's she talking about while the other half like me are just engrossed in her words as if they are ours. Wonderful ❤️❤️

I have too been always labelled as the special one. In my teenage years I was the guy who used to the top the school exams, ace the extra-curriculars and the one who got admission to THE prestigious college of Delhi. Now I am 25 had failed thrice in civil services, people have low expectations now, decativated social accounts so that people don't judge me for not reaching the inflated potential they thought I had. Its hard to realise you are not that special after all.

I actually grew up around the people whose parents, teachers and peers kept telling them they were special for scoring well. Of course, it's great and difficult to score well. But I always wondered why they didn't understand that marks in school don't equate to personal fulfillment and success. It's a product of bad parenting that prioritised superficial achievements over personal growth. I didn't see a lot of parents bragging about their child reading, being kind or doing something outside of school that wasn't a competitive cocurricular. It leads to anxiety in the children as they grow older because all of the sudden the academic success tied to their self worth disappears. And they have to deal with being at the bottom end and start from scratch because no one told them what to do. They also end up with less friends because they always believed themselves to be above them, and suddenly they're no longer the successful one. They feel judged and their peers like watching them struggle. It's hard. And it's definitely caused by parents who coached their children into thinking their identity was useless unless they were academically successful.

Thank you for saying something, in the world of "not saying anything".

People like you, who can express and write so beautifully are blessing.

When you said "No one says anything" "Just say something" You hit me hard girl🥺

The moment Rabia said “I’m no introvert” all the introverts who fell for her banter be like :O

When she said " this is dumbest thing to cry on " I was like I am not the only one who felt it everyday 🙂

i m not introvert just upset.. may be best lines i have heard

Just say something, say something , you'd say something, right? 😢😢😢 I can relate, infact, all of us can relate to this so much so much right now.

Rabia... I'm an 18 yo and I think you somehow showed exactly how my mind talks to me all day long. I don't know if you can make it through this statement , but this piece of art.. I'll hold close to me forever. Loved it!

Sending this to my therapist! My feelings unabashed and out.

The girl was exactly speaking those words, I write in my journal while talking to myself. I want people to say anything about their suffer so that I can understand I am not alone, I want them tell me how it feels when they are happy but still they don't tell anything and it feels like I am lonely in world full of people.

ik this sounds stupid but pls don't judge, age doesn't matter. I have somehow gone through this phase already ever since i left my junior school. I am in 10th grade at the moment, 4 years of gradually developing this feeling and now that someone spoke of it, relates with me, I know what it really is and how I've lost my self worth and replaced it with procastination. In fact, I have now become more self obsessed than ever, wouldn't want it any other way, but I know I could have been so much better "DAMN that psychological disorder!!" I say but really it is this lazy replacement I have to get rid of. Once again, I need to start winning, I NEED approval in some way or the other, for everyday nagging has made me think 'I' am the problem, when the only problem is my newly acquired lazy attitude. I have ambitions, things I can start working on RIGHT NOW, so I must get up, study, get over with my exams and finally, BEGIN.

Actually giving it a thought she is so damm right.. " No one says anything!" Hit me hard.

I have lost count on how many times I have played this over and over and over again. There is something about the cry, the words, the experience that just screams relatability. I just wish I could say something and tell you what it really is.

I'm just 18 and I could still relate to this. It's like all my feelings were put out in a really beautiful way. And after reading the comments I realised everyone feels this way and no one said anything. This poem or ranting prose as you like to call it will forever be in my heart.

I have felt exactly like this a million times in my life and every time I come back to rewatch this

As a 30 year old woman who has gone through all of this I just want to tell you your prime is yet to come:) it will get better just keep following your heart ❤

One of my favourite spoken words. Everytime I come back to this video I feel like how similar the human emotions are that she was able to articulate all those thoughts so beautifully. I don't know if her imposter would let her believe this but I actually love her work🙌🏻

The only people disliking this video are the ones who think rabia hacked into their brains and copied all their thoughts.

How does she do it so flawlessly every single time

She never fails to pull me​ to the edge, always gives me goosebumps!!

You spoke my mind. Which means that I'm telling you that I don't know about everyone but I feel this way. I feel it in my bones that maybe, maybe I have hit the rock bottom. Thank you for saying "something". You did your part, here's me doing mine. I hope you find your peace, I hope I find it too.

There is something in her which feels so relatable to us... It's like she is listening our thoughts n telling us.. It's so beautiful yet painful... Be strong girl... Lots of love for u.....

You wrote what I feel right now..just exactly how I feel, every word of it. I wish I could pen down my feelings so accurately like u can!

It kills me to think that everybody knows, but no one says anything.

Hey guys, thank you so much for loving this! Tell us something from Rabia's monologue that you relate with the most? And, we're curious to know - What did you get the most compliments for when you were younger?

It was so amazing... So honest... That I had tears in my eyes... I just wanna say you are not alone in this and thanks for being the courageous one... Thanks for speaking up..

Everytime I hear your poem...feels like my story.. Most relatable person ever🥺❤️ You have put the emotions of every uses to be special kid in your words! Hats off!💝

I felt too much pain in her voice. Girl life is unpredictable but you have to live at any cost. I'm also tried & actually i'm done because i feel my existence on this earth is worthless. I'm going through alot but still not able to express anything everyone is taking me as granted. I actually don't care about anyone but still my own family is feeling me as....😢

Not saying something but writing "something" Something that I have heard in long time Feeling something that someone out there feeling the same as I do but have the boldness to present it on a stage and expressed so flawlessly. Now I am thinking what to write but really do know feeling the hollowness inside me ... where the wittiness of mine has gone. I am also not a pessimist but why someone has not said something?

I just felt it ❤️Thankyou Rabia and Kommune India for this.....You always inspire ❤️❤️Loved it

really so relatable this type pf content touches heart in night when no one around. loved this

Your words are exactly the current me in my life. Always feeling contended and fulfilled with no crave for position or place except the continuous hunt for someone for the heart. I believe that being kind is more important than being right becoz everyone has their own contention and seems right from their view. But, what differentiate is that were you kind or not? And yes the stupid quote: stand up for what you believe in. But, what if you are standing at the wrong end. People here fall in love very easily without considering that they already have a bf/gf but when the other is person asks for a serious relationship suddenly everything changes and you become the wrong and they the right one. That's why most of us, the kind hearted are feeling tired and uninterested now. The world seems a puppet with unnecessary drama with stupid actors.

In my perspective,glass half full means we once saw that the glass was full before being emptied.Long story short,the glass was full in my perspective

Years and years after being in captivity of such thoughts / vibrations , I found rescue in AwBks..Bk Sister Shivani / Awakeing with Bramhakumaris. Thanks to this blessed soul for bursting the myth that bk is just about wearing a white uniform in common people's minds.

I am not an introvert just upset and tired♥️ seems like someone poured my heart out, each and every word was what I felt I want to yell, what I felt I wanted to tell, but just like you, I don't say anything now, my throat is croaked and nothing comes out

It starts from childhood and it's going on even today, all my parents can do is check with me about - is your work good, is your health good, what did u eat. It's a standard questionnaire for which they also know the answers. I am not introvert, I am just upset. No one actually says anything. Thanks for saying so much

And when no one say's anything !!!...this is when we just enter 20s and loose every word to describe and say ANYTHING what is actually everything!!! Love for you girl❤️

Omg I don't even know what to say. This is the heart of brilliant!

I am not an introvert per se. I am a dextrovert. But mostly introverted and frighteningly extroverted if my defenses are breached. Some of my memorable Dr. Jekyll and Hyde performances: I had to go under the knife for a small surgery. When my surgeon was explaining things I mostly hmm-ed and haw-ed with monosyllabic answers. The surgeon told me he will give me local anesthesia to make things easier. A mistake. When the surgery started, the doctor started general gyan about how one should not worry blah, blah. Even bigger mistake. When I woke up I found out I was given full anesthesia. The doc told me I went on a 40 minute rant about life, death and existence and he decided to shut me up. I was meeting the architect for some interior work. Very nice guy. He made the mistake of mentioning the magic word “symmetry”. And I launched a long long monologue on symmetry and composition. My daughter told me that she never knew that I speak that much :) And I dutifully followed that monologue with more torture for my architect and called him up repeatedly to discuss space, line and forms. But when the introvert in me takes over: I create a micro world and strictly restrict entry. My verbal interaction even with my mother will be limited to ten sentences a day max. I will often use only expressions to denote my displeasure (which is a bad thing). I will generally avoid confrontations (which is also a bad thing at times) So how does it feel like? Since I have always enjoyed the nerd reputation, I usually get away with being an introvert. I even get pampered at times. And if people decide to tease me about it, I show my capability of tongue-in-the-cheek remarks. That usually shuts them up...

Anxiety , fear and burden of expectations are the things every good scorer of the school goes through...... right Especially while graduation

This is the first time someone wrote exactly what I feel. Feels like I have written this. Hope you are doing well.

I just love this. Love for the person you are, for what you say on our behalf.❤️

This is the best thing I have seen or listened in years Are we all same here .... I think I was special one to be suffering

That was actually chilling. I am chilled to the core. What words!! Wow!!

keep pouring your heart out as if it's never been said before. And in the end of the day, some hearts would feel greatful and mutter ' atleast Rabia said something ' ! P.s. we love you for who you are. All shades of you ❤💙

"I am not an introvert, I am just upset and tired"❤️

gurl I will be happy to watch u doing a 8 hr speech. Wow that was freaking amazing. Such raw and beautiful performance 🖤

Relatable, thank you for speaking the words which are inside us and does not come out 🙂

I always look forward to this girl's words, Rabia Kapoor

Why is she so worth listening everytime...

I think many can relate and feel your each words ... atleast I can ... I don't know you wrote it or say it after having some hard time or not but still wanna say this that I don't know how special you were but you are unique, definitely different from 'OTHER'

Running out of words everytime when I actually want to walk....I have never found anything relatable than this....thanks Rabia mam for this, also thanks to kommune.♥

Thank you for putting and expressing it in apt words. It was so relatable to me.. Specially why nobody says anything? Really nobody.

Every single time I listen her, the only words I could utter is that SHE IS MAGIC! Her words slow down my heartbeat. She sounds like magic.Rabia.❤❤❤

Why people left us with no reasons.. making us vulnerable either to wait for them or to move on... Taking a question mark in our brains

Like always...this is another abstract ❤️❤️....about ourselves

Makes so so so much sense and is just so relatable... You nailed it Rabia! Amazing! Amazing!❤️❤️

Thanks for reading my (and everyone s) mind and saying that with such an appealing way...

They don't say anything because they are enjoying watching us like this

All the metaphorical and cryptic words with the nice melancholic mood music point to one thing about the young lady - "existential crisis".

Can connects and feel myself by saying something to this world while keeping me quite at the same time.

Lets go & flood her DMs on insta with good & supportive msgs♥️or at least appreciation of this video at least🙂

"Say something" relatable. Iam learning a lot for u, u r so different and I wish u the best for whatever u are up to.

In the words of Tyler Durden - "You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."

What do you want me to say? That my life sucks the same way. That I am going through the same dilemma weather life would get better or worse. And what will happen if I say it. Will my life change?? No right. So I choose to be silent. Fighting alone to make my life a little better. Trying to accept things as they are. Because I have realized. I have realized that not now but some day maybe I'll be laughing with my loved ones, praising myself that I didn't gave up🥺🥺

How voiceless we feel even though blessed with the knowledge and skills to express through. Still wondering and wandering through the streets where we are heard and not punished. @rabia I have liked every piece you have written till now, the depth of those writing has maybe not reached to many but have reached to most and has impacted in some or the other way. Maybe we are seeking corners to hide ourselves and you're the one saying something when we are not able to say anything! Thank you.

So much relatable ✨

omg. This is the most most touching thing I have ever heard. Felt like someone saw right through me.

Each word of yours resonates with my soul. Oh! I so wish I could say something, "And maybe you're just supposed to stay silent now" 🤍

Her words are so soothing🌸🌸

i am not able to say anything bcoz all that was inside me she has already said... great

Wow wow wow....very amazingly said... And that's relatable for many of us!!!!!!!!!

Every time she says something, it's worth listening to.

I was feeling like myself for the first time.. In a long time... Rabia ♡♡♡ Eyes were locked on her such a piece of monologue ♡

The lady is here to 'say something'! ❤️

I'm not an introvert .. I'm just upset and tired🥺❤ you hit to the core at that point girl 🥺🥺

i think the north will be good go for Spiti Valley kind of place touch the nature and feel the cold of ice and burnt of heart

After long time got to see her rendering, and finally her words, I was talked about what I was going through, felt like a mirror, however her voice was better than mine😅

words touched me, coz i hv gone through the phase....i just connect with each n every word.... i was waiting fo time to pass when i will come out , slowly but surely...n i did... with a new version....

Since u said say something... I really have to say something U r words like always have touched me like something U said u thought u r special but couldn't see that through... Why? Why God damn why? Just see how beautiful u summed it up That what everyone knows isn't that easy to sum up n say That every story is just the same... It's a system A process of everyone's life . . Where u think u r special... But than u being is just an easy n natural thing to u. Why is everyone saying special about it But really what is it. The talent may be A talent that comes naturally to u is special, for others it is, coz they don't have it. May be it's so special that they never even thought of having it... But u have it So for some it's just something beyond words. Or imagination or Like u just said ran out of words.

Cracked neet ug in 1st attempt but couldn't crack neet pg in 2 years and suddenly, I'm anxious and nervous at my job, double checking everything and constantly doubting myself along with heartbreak, seeing all the new 1st year pg residents in various departments. When all you ever heard was you're special- constantly topping every exam in school, enter medical field and then you realise that somewhere you've fallen behind your peers and in our field, there's no prestige attached to simple mbbs degree. You need to get pg to get some level of respect among every bloody one. People look down their nose to you and sometimes you cry, realising that all you ever wanted was to study literature and write stories and travel world

You words were so relatable and hey thanks for making me know that sometimes relatable words could tear a drop from our eyes. ❤️ You beauty Rabia .

WoooooooW..!! Sister, You Have So Much Control Over Your Words To Express Your Feelings, Don't Know Whether It's Your Due Emotions Or Just Some Thoughts You Are Trying To Express, But Whatever It Was, Seems To Me, I Just Witnessed A New Rising Star In Storytelling Arena Who Has Been Hiding This Long Time For Some Unknown Reason. Wish You To Read You Soon In A Shape of Book.. You Have A Long Way To Go., All The Best., Keep Walking....

Yeah , not only you who is waiting and wanting someone to say something that is not sugarcoated and just good , say something that is harsh but truth , worst but best and hurtful but important just say. Right things at right time ...

Feelings and stories will save me from my troubles.

I feel exactly the same. But I think we all illusionary about everything will come easy in our lives because we think we are special. May be we need to come out of that illusion. May be we need to experiment again. May be we need to find and apply that strength again that made us special. We are still young. We are still special. We should not let ourselves down because of these continuous failures. We still have time. So let's come again on this video after a few months or years after putting all of our efforts and then say ....yes I am special ....again.

You're special yesterday, today and forever. I love you the way you are.

My fav is back☺

You are fabulous Rabia,your words count,they really do❤

It hit me real hard when she said "I am not introvert am just upset and tired"
