Jake Paul fires back after being criticized for divisive anxiety tweet YouTube: ImpaulsiveAfter his controversial tweet on anxiety landed him in hot water, Jake Paul has expanded on his mindset and fired back at those who looked to tear him down over the divisive statement. Just days after a since-deleted tweet went viral and caught the attention of thousands around the world, Jake Paul took to his brother\u2019s Impaulsive podcast in an attempt to clarify his statement and share his own experiences with the mental health disorder. Rather than backtracking on his removed post, the YouTuber reaffirmed his position and slammed those who criticized him for sharing his thoughts. \u201cRemember that anxiety is created by you,\u201d his February 20 tweet stated. \u201cSometimes you gotta let life play out and remind yourself to be happy & that the answers will come. Chill your mind out, go for a walk, talk to a friend.\u201d When put under the spotlight and questioned by both his brother Logan Paul and fellow Impaulsive host Mike Majlak, he bluntly expressed that he feels \u201clike [he\u2019s] half right.\u201d \u201cYou can let [negative thoughts] keep going and get more anxious, or you can realize that I\u2019m doing this to myself, these are my thoughts and you can control your thoughts,\u201d the YouTube star stated. Explaining that he \u201cdidn\u2019t even know there were people who were chemically imbalanced and couldn\u2019t control it,\u201d he grew agitated and questioned, \u201cwhy [he] would know that?\u201d Wanting to share his experiences dealing with the mental health disorder, the newfound professional boxer argued that no one should be able to criticize him for laying out his mindset and raising awareness on the matter. \u201cWho the f*** is going to tell me I can\u2019t talk about this so that a younger kid, who maybe doesn\u2019t know that they have anxiety, finds out about anxiety, learns how to deal with it and moves forward,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople are attacking you because the platform you hold is massive,\u201d Majlak countered, emphasizing that due to his reach, he should be held to a higher standard. \u201cYou\u2019re a massive global entity that speaks to millions.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know what the f*** I\u2019m doing,\u201d Jake swiftly responded. \u201cI understand that and I get that, but you can\u2019t be fu**ing perfect.\u201d everyone clowning my tweet but it\u2019s now spreading more awareness about anxiety which i didn\u2019t even know was a thing till I was 18 but had it my whole life & never knew how to deal with it\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffc\u2642\ufe0f if u think u have it or wanna deal with it try reading this\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffchttps:\/\/t.co\/orknebThfw \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) February 18, 2020 Despite having taken down the initial tweet, it seems as though the Paul brother is still of the mindset that most of his statement was accurate and that he should not be slammed for raising awareness of the mental health disorder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
