i spent this whole video for a throw reveal and there wasn't one so now i guess im never gonna know what it looks like

Am I the only one who needs to see this throw?! I’m totally the person who would miss out on the throw and it would bug me for months that I didn’t think enough of myself to ask for one 🤦🏻‍♀️

I thought I was the only one who got scared of taking free things😂 I just always have that thought of ‘what if it’s NOT free and people think I’m stealing’. I’m glad you got your throw though!

The one dislike is that lady who took 5 throws 😂

Can we see this throw please? After all the drama I’d love to see it 😂😂

Being humble is certainly a good thing. When an opportunity presents itself as a result of your hard work, though, it is ok to accept it. That's very different from the embarrassing greed that you saw exhibited by those other people. I hope you enjoy your trip.

I am so like this, it's scary LOL I too will stand by...not quite sure...but never ask...and then it's too late. Observing others taking the absolute Michael. I know people say 'if its free then who cares' and the 'if you don't ask you dont get' but some people seriously lack a bit of decorum and respect. I think sometimes we are TOO polite for our own good, but it's nice to be polite LOL x

This kind of reminds me of that line from when the curtain falls "don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm" which I actually have to remind myself of regularly. It's so easy to see yourself as lesser and put others before yourself. It's so important to not belittle yourself like that. Helping others is amazing, but you need to prioritise yourself!

I’m so proud that you were brave!! Go Carrie! You got a fancy shmancy throw!! FOR FREE!! I also completely know what you mean about the distancing yourself from the edited version, looking at yourself on a screen and hearing your own voice often gets a bit much. I’ve found that distancing myself from it in a way helps me too x

I love these video’s so much. I look forward to watching them everyday! You’re so lovely

This was so relatable, I felt like I was listening to myself talk 😂

this is something im learning as well. its okay to take up space, its okay to BE a person and to have just as much the right to ask for things you need/want. you deserve it just as much as everyone else. whether it is a throw, affection, help, anything. but small things like this sometimes make you feel really good and proud of yourself!

In a dog eat dog world, sometimes you can be too nice. It’s about knowing when it’s the right time to stand up for you.

I feel like I've gotten to know you so much through the videos in this series for May, and I've been really enjoying it!

This is like my favourite video now. That throw story has inspired me.

The whole thing about free things! Yes! I’ve been lucky enough to attend comic cons for free and I always feel like I need to then pay for something to make me feel less guilty. So glad you got the throw!

I know to a lot of people this might sound like an easy thing to do. To just ask two women a question. But I completely understand. I would be exactly the same and I’m so proud of you for doing that!! I just got back from my school where I auditioned for Fantine in Les mis and I’ve loved theatre for ages. I’ve been in shows but always in the chorus. I’m always too scared to even audition but I auditioned because I love this show and this character and it’d mean so much to me. And even though I know that song inside out I forgot a line and needed help but I didn’t sound awful and I’m really proud of myself for doing it. I definitely was not the best. I haven’t got that part or even a callback I just know it but though I’m annoyed at myself for forgetting the line (and therefore breaking character for a moment) I’m so proud of myself for putting myself out there. Thank you for giving me confidence, Carrie and I’m proud of you💜💜💜

Very different reasoning, but I got in the habit of waiting until the end to get stuff because I was always "working" the events I was at. My mom did a TON of events for the city, and charity fundraisers, and all that kind of stuff. So I decorated, helped chop vegetables, made punch, whatever was needed, starting at a young age. So for me all that goodie bag type stuff was for the people who were donating or who the party was for. The party wasn't for me. I was probably around 13 or 14 when I realized that I was also donating, just time instead of money. Still waited for later because I was rarely included in headcounts and whatnot, but I wasn't going to feel bad about it. I'd earned it.

This is me! And your right if you don’t ask you don’t get, i’ll live by that moto a lot more ❤️ Your so amazing and inspiring carrie, I love you❤️

Aw, I'm so glad you stood your ground. I know how much of a struggle this can be. I was even cringng a little at the "excuse me is that a spare one?" Because even that's a lot to do for me. A part of me would have wanted to go after they said they were holding it but you staying and holding your ground made me proud :)

God that got me riled up I really thought you were going to end up without a throw then I actually shook my fists in the air in triumph when you did 😂Yes Carrie you get yourself that free throw!

No throw?? All that for no picture of the throw??! Lol good for you for sticking up for yourself lol

I think I might have needed this video. Just wow. Taking us through the entire thought process of the whole situation it was EERILY familiar. This is EXACTLY what I do. All the time. With guilt and fear of being selfish or wrong as my driving forces. But hearing you, and thinking of YOU (not myself) and wanting to jump through space and time and just grab a throw and give it to you, or at the very least just ask anybody if they were for taking at the very start, makes me want to hit myself in the head to wake up (metaphorically of course, I'm a pacifist lol). It was so hard hearing you go through all that over something so simple and yet I do it all the time. I must low key hate listening to myself and for that reason try to spend as little time with myself as possible and instead seek distractions in the form of constant media and entertainment. I don't know how else to put it except this was like when you suddenly hear a recording of yourself you didn't know was taken and you realize how often you use the word "like" and cringe. Thank you for this. I'm going to also try and stop obsessing so hard over every little thing and worrying over what I "deserve". And I really REALLY hope you enjoy that throw!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

GOOD👏🏼FOR👏🏼YOU👏🏼. There’s always a time to stick up for yourself and go for what you want.

Thank you Carrie. Love you and I appreciate you so much. And thank you for letting me appreciate myself.

This feeling is very real! Thank you for talking about this Carrie and giving those of us who forget to think of ourselves a great reminder to do so now and again!

This is why I watch your videos and adore you. So humble and lovely. Was expecting the throw reveal at the end lol. Glad to see (by the comments) it wasn’t just me.

That was intense!!! So happy she got it 😆😆😆

Carrie, you are SUCH A LIBRA lol #librasunite

This is so me. I relate ten fold

I flipping loved this video. Good for you, for you sticking up for yourself! 💕

This is so relatable

I'm glad you got a throw, Carrie! Maybe you can't see yourself now because you need to be detached, but in 10 years or so these videos might be fun to go back and view, like looking at old photographs, and you'll remember the moments they commemorate fondly and be able to embrace them then. :)

I don't really know what to say but I think this video resonates with so many people. I once did a gig with my partner at a Christmas party. We stood around the piano singing and doing our thing and thought to ourselves, "maybe we'll take a 15 and get some water and there will be food leftover that they'll want to get rid of at the end of the party" and then the guy throwing the party came up and said "it's Christmas you guys are family! Get some food and relax when you want." 😲

Thank you so much Carrie!!!♥️ This series has been really helpful to me!♥️UtheWORLD!

I love you for this 😄💓

The sass over these throws is so relatable, YOU GET THAT THROW!

You look so cozy and content in this! Lovely to see x

Loved this i was waiting 2 see the throw lol xxx

Wow this video was so real for me. There’s been so many occasions we’re I missed out on something I was entitled to because I was scared of getting in trouble or being wrong, or just being too scared to ask! I’m so glad I’m not alone!! x

Carrie I am sooooo glad you got that throw!! There’s a scene in the movie “ something to talk about “ that speaks of how we sometimes settle ... it’s Julia Roberts being super excited for pecan pie ..

Oh girl, I'm not sure if everyone would be similar in England, but in LA EVERYONE is out for free stuff. If Disney ever has a bunch of merchandise just sitting around not in a store there will always be those people that take more than their share, so you have to make sure to grab yours before those people have taken it!

We definitely need a throw reveal 🙈😂

So when you edit the pictures you can’t see “the me inside of me”. I shouldn’t be laughing this hard at my own terrible joke 😂🙄

I bloody love this video, I can relate to this SO much.

You're a beautiful girl with a gorgeous soul

Loved this video. This really cheered me up after a day of exams because I can relate so much!

This story reminded me of the summer I handed out free tee shirts - and the unbelievable greed that people have when offered free things! I don't understand what it is about "free" that makes people act so unreasonable and entitled... take your free thing and go - you don't need 5 of them, you don't need to harass the employee for a different size or a different color. Good on you for calling those women out and just taking 1 !

Amazing video!!

How incredibly rude to take multiple of things that are freebies 😮 I'm glad you got one Carrie, those women ought to be ashamed of themselves! I can't even take more than one free pen from an event, nevermind four throws! 😑 some people have no shame!

Your such an amazing talented person!!!!

I love these videos !! I needed this story today 😍💕

Really enjoyed this one!

I’d love to hear more stories from you! 😂☺️

omg I would of done the same thing and not taken one either. So glad u got one in the end xxx

I'm also working on being assertive Carrie. It blows my mind how inconsiderate other people can be lol. Good on you!

Lovely video!! Xx

I can SO relate to your story! I was at the Dutch premier of Rocketman and there were all sorts of cupcakes and donuts and I didn't get one because I thought other people would then because of me not get one.. while some people were stuffing themselves with them haha! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was so concerned you weren't going to get a throw. I actually cheered when you said you got one xD

I love this story so much ❤️, yiu got the their in the end, so we'll done, we need to see the throw now tho

Honestly, I am very constantly trying to remind myself to let myself enjoy things like that, like free things being given away at parties or such. I did it recently when I went on vacation with my mom. There were two wonderful women that we kept running into who had a drink package where we were staying (my mom and I didn't, we don't drink *that* much) and they offered us free drinks. Old me would have declined and been like "no no no, that's okay! you don't have to!" And a part of me was really afraid that the staff would catch on and be like "YOU didn't purchase the drink package, blah blah blah." But...it was free. They weren't paying for the drink itself, they'd paid for something beforehand and wanted to share it. Why shouldn't I say yes if I truly wanted a drink? So, of course, I did. (Every time I saw them, but that's besides the point. I think they enjoyed sharing, honestly.) I think it's just a mindset, really, because we subconsciously believe we don't deserve these things or that other people, for some reason, deserve them more than we do. Sometimes it's important to remind ourselves that we deserve good things too (and that, sometimes, it's really not too good to be true, haha). Plus, if we don't take our share then someone will take advantage of that and take too much, like the ones who took 5 throws haha

They really should have a sign if they’re going to give away stuff like that

Hoping you guys are having a wonderful time :)

I am literally the same. And I'm not even anybody who does anything

Show us the throw!! Please 😊

Good for you! Liked the story

You are such a good role model to me. Your videos make me smile when i feel down. You always make me happy. I once had the amazing opportunity to meet you and you were so nice. I hope to one day meet you again, because you are an amazing person and you are my role model

I love your (I forgot the word but I mean the thing your wearing), it suits you.

Show us the throw! Show us the throw! Show us the throw! Show us the throw!

Greed lost on this day. Good job Carrie!

Why on earth would you need 5 throws?? The injustice and greed would really wind me up. Glad you got a throw in the end, good for you!

We need to see this throw! 😁

❤❤

SHOW THE THROW!

😍😍😍😍

Omg I love that story so much! I would be exactly the same way! 😂

Good on you!!

OH MY Stars !!!! I really want to see the throw

To be honest I am quite jealous of those people who feel like they are entitled to everything (extra throws etc). I think life is just easier for them than for those who constantly apologize and worry if they could have nice things (myself included). they disregard politeness, cut queues but in the end they get what they want. I used to think that what goes around comes around but I have not seen it to be the case, sadly. Being shy and polite only gets one left on the sidelines, and being straightforward and entitled gets you places.

i always thought it was just us germans who go CRAZY for free stuff :D

this amount of over thinking is such a mood

I am the same way!

That was a great story! Go Carrie! :)

Desperate to see what the throw looks like! Even just a tiny peek to see the fabric and pattern!! pleeeaasseee!! 😂

lol that's the English in you Carri XD - hesitant in taking freebies, making sure everything is fair :)

Yeah but what does Ollie think of the throw? Does he like it? Was it worth it?

SHOW US THE THROW CARRIE!!

why didn't you show itttttttttttttttttttttt

I lowkey wanna see the throw now

That's so me...

We need to see the goddamn throw Carrie!! x

I think we need to see the throw 😂

:)

Show the throw! :)

I feel like you always have a nice message but a terrible story to accompany it :/ this wasn't a good example of thinking of yourself tbh

I thought the final bold move was going to be asking those ladies for one of the nicely rolled ones in exchange for the one she had been leaning on all night lol Go you Carrie

Carrie, Are you an INFJ?

Good for you with the throw. I hate dishonest people like that. Take one you greedy pigs 🐷
