“You Have To Learn To Disappoint People“ – YouTube Star KSI Voices a Key Advice He Got From His Therapist That Changed His Mindset

JJ Olatunji, better known as KSI, is among the elite content creators on YouTube. He has achieved great heights in many other fields, like music, boxing, and even entrepreneurship. But this success does take a heavy toll on a person’s mind.

This 29-year-old has witnessed many ups and downs in his life. In his latest Amazon Prime documentary, he opened up on many of those troubles in his life. KSI has been quite open about his mental health condition with his audience. He has even talked about going to a therapist many times and how it was helpful for him.

He has talked about how therapy helped him to find value and purpose in his life. KSI recently appeared on The Checkup Podcast by the famous YouTuber and family physician. In this podcast, the Englishman talked about many struggles in his life, and also shared advice from his therapist.

KSI’s mindset was changed by his therapist’s advice

Doctor Mike questioned the YouTube star about what he did with his therapist that changed his life. KSI once again talked about a point, which he stated multiple times and that is finding a purpose in life or what his values are. But then he explained the biggest thing that he learned from his therapy was to say no, something which he was previously unable to do.

KSI explained he couldn’t say no since his early days. He shared his parents would have hit him if he said no to something. He then continued that the same happened after becoming a YouTuber, where people would expect him to say yes to everything. Even if he didn’t want to say no, he was unable to do so.

The 29-year-old then shared his therapist’s wise words with him, “You have to learn to say no. You have to learn to disappoint people because you need to be selfish. You need to find time for yourself. You’re constantly giving all this energy out to people. So that by the end of the day, you have nothing left for yourself.”
