Sometimes even the most confident and cheerful people get a bit down and start to question whether they are good enough. That is why it is so important to surround yourself with people who wish you only the best and will find the right words to say when you need a little bit of encouragement.

TikTok users understand this on another level as they are demonstrating their appreciation to certain people publicly by joining a trend now dubbed “You are enough” as it uses the song of the same name by Sleeping At Last. The trend is all over the app and the videos are collecting hundreds of thousands of views.

More info: TikTok

The song You Are Enough was first released in 2014 by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan O'Neal as a part of the musical project Sleeping At Last. The song was a success then, but now it has been revived once again and became one of the most important components of the popular TikTok trend.

Oh god, that is heartbreaking. Imaging being so full of self doubt that you feel the need to apologize for being you.

Bless you for picking up the pieces for this little doggo. Or is it a unicorn?

The template of the trend consists of two parts: firstly, a written text on the screen in which a person that is important to you complains about something they shouldn’t is shown. Secondly, when the lyrics reach the part in which the words ‘you’re enough’ are repeated, the image changes and the person in question is shown to convince them they are indeed perfect the way they are.

Different generations often get on well together. Sharing of Life's experiences.

Children are saying that their parents are enough, no matter what their age or size are. Husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends are persuading their significant others that they don’t need to worry about anything and they love them the way they are.

These TikToks are really wholesome and people watching may shed a tear or two. However, TikTok wouldn’t be the way it is if a trend stayed so serious. Many people took it and made jokes about how others are insecure about their appearance and photoshopped them to make them really exaggerated. But in this list only the true wholesome videos were included.

People need approval from others even if they are convinced that the opinion of others doesn’t mean anything to them. After all, a kind word never hurt anybody. But what do you think of this trend? Did it remind you of a person you would want to say the same thing to? And which of these entries did you like the most? Tell us about it and don't forget to upvote them!

It's sad that people are worried about appearances... And big applause for the "grandma" for taking up a responsibility of raising a young child/teen. I hope you're both happy and thriving. :)

Who TF said a single dad can’t act as host and chaperone for a teen party? There are plenty of dads, single and married, who can plan great—-and totally age-appropriate—-parties for their kids (and plenty of others who haven’t realized they can yet). That includes cooking and baking the food for it. And they can do it better than a SAHM, who even has more time to do it all.

that's not what he means. He's worried the parents may think he'll be hitting on their daughters, since he has no wife to "watch" him.

Hey, if I were still a single mum I'd be sending my kids over all the time just so I had an excuse to pop over and get them

I live with a single dad so I can never host anything with my friends at my house and have never experienced friends coming over and me showing them my room and stuff :(

My friends weren't allowed over all my life because of where I lived. Never thought of this being an issue for single dads, but I bet some of my friends' mothers would have been mean about that too.

From the pictures, it doesn’t look like they live in a shack, so I can’t see where their home is an issue. It’s probably the neighborhood SAHM Karens who think a single adult man throwing a totally age appropriate party for his teenage daughter and her friends, or just being home when her friends come over, would be inappropriate—-even though he raised his daughter totally appropriately, and none of her friends have ever said anything inappropriate ever happened when (if) they were there. FFS, if that’s the only issue, then instead of badmouthing the poor guy, and depriving his daughter of having friends over, then they should f*****g volunteer to help him chaperone a damn party, or invite him to do so at parties they throw for their own kids! Bet they’d very quickly find out they were worried over a big fat nothingburger.

So many dad's are STILL looked down on just for being dad's, even if they're not single dad's. Other parents, even teachers, judging you for being there with your kids without the mother, even calling being a dad "babysitting".

Thanks to social media like BP portraying all men like sexual predators, the guy isn't wrong. A lot of parents will be hesitant to let their daughter stay at the house where a single guy lives with his daughter.

That means the parents of your daughters friends need to get their heads out of their behinds and realize that a being a single Dad is normal.

Said this in another similar posting; learn sign language and have uber private conversations, even in a crowd. It can be like having your own private, intimate world to go to together, that nobody else can enter.

Yeah, but they’re not HIS idea of prettiest—-YOU are!!! You’re actually just about anybody’s idea of beautiful, tbh. Plus, you’ve got “that certain something” about you that makes you just perfect to, and for, him. Just don’t let yourself get all hung up on not looking like all the “prettier” girls—-whose pretty outsides might be hiding some really fugly insides, btw. Their looks are common and considered desirable right now, but styles and concepts of beauty change, and one day their looks might be considered “blah”. Look at pictures of people considered beautiful throughout different periods in history, if you don’t believe me. Cultivating beauty that fits you makes you unique, and tending to your inner beauty will give you a beautiful glow—-both of which will make you even more beautiful than those “prettier” girls could ever even dream to be.
