00:00 Susan, we know how powerful the words we're saying are.
00:05 That's true, Kim.
00:06 Even if you're just saying a few words,
00:09 it can change a person's perspective.
00:13 That's why we should always think about the words we're saying.
00:15 That's the story of Katrina Sol.
00:18 What will your reaction be if a foreigner
00:24 offers you a paper?
00:26 Will you accept it or not?
00:28 What if this paper has a message written on it?
00:33 Some were surprised, rejected, and sad.
00:42 But some were also smiled at what they read.
00:47 I was surprised.
00:48 Why?
00:49 Because I read it in the newspaper.
00:52 It's like someone's sending me a message.
00:55 [laughs]
00:56 Kent Montano, a content creator,
01:03 or better known as Kenty,
01:05 creates online content with comforting words and positive vibes.
01:09 How are you? Are you okay?
01:10 Yes.
01:11 You?
01:12 Yes, why did you ask?
01:13 Because you're always checking on other people,
01:15 so I'm just also checking up on you.
01:17 If you feel sad, it's okay to call a friend and ask for help, alright?
01:21 Alright.
01:22 That's why his TikTok account grew to 1.7 million followers.
01:27 It's like you're pressuring yourself.
01:28 It's like you can't enjoy things if you don't look good.
01:30 I didn't really think that I'm going to make content with positive vibes.
01:34 That's not what I was thinking.
01:36 It came out naturally because I was listening to podcasts
01:39 when I made that content.
01:41 Comforting words became a big help to him.
01:45 It's a nice feeling when you see your situation in social media,
01:49 you can relate to it, you'll feel that you're not alone with this situation.
01:55 His comfort is based on his experiences and stories of his friends.
02:00 From academic burnout because I'm in university now,
02:03 so he gets tired sometimes, he gets drained physically and mentally, but it's okay.
02:10 You should know that comforting words help a lot to increase the happy hormones in our body.
02:17 These are the things that we should be careful about.
02:21 That's why there are people who have psychological problems.
02:25 Sometimes, they lack or release too many hormones.
02:31 So, we should be neutral.
02:34 We should release the right amount of hormones in our body
02:39 so that we can be happy.
02:41 According to psychologist Raul Gania,
02:43 comforting words are more effective to people than words of affirmation.
02:49 Words of affirmation tell us that we're okay,
02:55 it tells us that we're doing the right thing.
02:59 It's nice to hear that a person knows that there's someone who appreciates what he's doing.
03:07 It's very important to let these feelings out,
03:09 to let these heavy emotions go away because it can be draining if you just bottle up.
03:16 Words are free, but it's good to think before we let it go to our friends.
03:23 Because with simple words, it's possible to change the way we look at the life of a person.
03:30 I'm Katrina Son, and that's the story you should know.
