Body Language Analyst REACTS to David Dobrik's SECOND Apology Video What's Changed? Ep. 49

well hey there idiots welcome back to observe and the second part of who knows how many parts of the david dobrik apologies series in today's video i'm going to be analyzing the nonverbal communication of david dobrik during his second apology for the same incidents [Music] if you have in fact not seen the first video i highly suggest that you go and do that now i will not be talking about the incidents that are surrounding this video i have learned what they are and i am not at all happy with david and his choices in the past and he also covers them in this apology video as he should have in the first one i'm gonna go ahead and analyze his nonverbal communication and then give you my opinions at the very very end of this video hi guys it's um 1 45 in the morning and i'm finally by myself which i know doesn't sound that crazy to be by yourself at 1 45 in the morning but um okay so immediately the thing that is popping out to me is that he's tired you can see that via the bags underneath his eyes and he's stressed you can see that via the tenseness of his upper eyelids and of his eyebrows so tired stressed makes sense things haven't been going well for david recently this week's been pretty hectic and there have been a lot of people um so he does a pretty substantial eye block and then he also has a partial fear expression this doesn't mean that he's afraid but that pulling down of the corners of the mouth in this way here is an indicator of fear this can also be related to stress as well so that does hammer that home also speaking of what he's wearing he's now just wearing a hoodie and a hat and this is a very raw style video he also has the title as just the date which was 3 22 21 but this is all just indicating that he's really trying to convey sincerity and honesty in this one which would be really really nice to have had for the first one maybe a while ago when this happened also as you can see here he has a substantial lip compression this is centered around the biting back of words or emotions this is all lending towards stress and weariness a lot of people around tell me what to do giving me advice um trying to help me um mostly little tiny eye roll in there likelihood is he's a little frustrated by all of the advice that he's getting therefore it's showing up in the form of an eye roll importantly and and that was a lot and and and and now i i just want to i want to be able to do this and just shoot straight into the camera and just talk to you guys so this was what we were wanting to see in the first one we wanted to see him talk straight to us and cut the crap more or less all the way through just to be able to sit down and be real we didn't see that the first time and i'll get to some reasons for things in the opinion half of this however nonverbally speaking you could also see that his eyes are fairly wide they are not as relaxed as they usually are and this is not only related to the stress and anxiety that he's going through but also the likelihood is is that it's based somewhat off of fear this is to be expected people would be afraid in his position of losing everything and so far he has been so that fear makes sense i've put myself in a lot of situations where i needed to apologize for my past actions and i've never done this correctly and i've never done this respectfully you can see inflammation around his nose and eyes this indicates that he has been very emotional throughout parts of the day or at least parts of this recording but he hasn't been showing that emotion here on the video which is good we know that he has been emotional but he's not trying to show that for views or sympathy or anything along those lines that's just a good indicator that this isn't about his emotions this is about him apologizing or at least that's what we can tell so far and my last video is a testament to that i i don't want to defend that video i don't want to delete that video i just want to be clear what this video isn't going to be is it's not going to be me discrediting trisha kat or any other woman involved i'm going to be using words that may trigger some survivors and that's just so i don't explain anything vaguely and i can explain every situation appropriately i want to start this is good this is what we were wanting him to do to begin with the first time this is the appropriate steps towards an apology this video off by saying i fully believe the woman who came out against dom and said she was sitting by him as it was reported the next day i got consent to post the video even though i got the consent to post that video i should have never posted it that's the point that i made earlier in the other video just because you have consent to do a video doesn't mean that you should ever ever post it especially in situations like this where not only is it personally a terrible thing to do to somebody but then also it is illegal as well so just anytime that those things come into play the chances are you just don't post that video and then you should sit down and have a really big reconsideration of what your life is and why you got to the point of posting a video like this instead of being a good person to the people around you so that's interesting at least and i what i understand now and i didn't understand before is that she sent that text because she felt like she had to not because she wanted to and that's [ __ ] up and i'm sorry when she later reached out a couple months later to take the video down i immediately took it down and i want to apologize to her and her friends forever putting them in an environment that i enabled that made them feel like their safety and values were compromised i'm so sorry i was completely disconnected from the fact that when people were invited to film videos with us especially videos that relied on shock for views or whatever it was that i was creating an unfair power dynamic i did not know this before it was completely wrong and i wish i was more responsible and i wish i was more aware at the time and i'm so sorry nonverbally speaking he is synchronized he is genuinely showing the emotions that go along with the words that he's saying he's not really showing any leakage for deception or desynchronization or anything along those lines and his words are correct these are the words he should have said to begin with i'm still not ultra impressed by david right now and i'll tell you at the end of the video but as far as his nonverbal communication goes and the limitations of nonverbal communication in and of itself he is being genuine right now he's genuinely apologizing at least in the synchronocity between his nonverbal communication and his words and i'll talk about why that doesn't necessarily mean authenticity after the video i missed that i didn't know what was going on in that room and i should have been i should have been there and i should have been making sure that everybody involved was was taken care of and wasn't uncomfortable i don't want to use buzzwords to try to justify this or explain this but all i can say is people felt like they had to be silent for the sake of my video and that's not right and it's [ __ ] up and i'm sorry i also want to acknowledge the women that spoke out against dime in 2018 i'm talking about ally and then i'm talking about other girls that address their problems privately or publicly i'm sorry i didn't listen to you guys i am sorry that i that i took dom's word um for what happened those in those certain situations and i didn't believe you and not only did i not believe you but i made a joke of of what kind of a person dom was because i couldn't wrap my head around a childhood so just real quick here when he said i made a joke he does a small very small and very quick eye roll in regards to that that is another indicator of disgust or contempt that emotional line there if you see somebody rolling their eyes at you or at somebody else you understand the context and the meaning behind that so he has that flash through real quick there so he does have some disgust in relation towards that at least from what we can tell non-verbally friend of mine doing this to people and actually hurting people and and i'm sorry for that not only did i discredit you at me so you can see the action in his eyebrows increasing they're becoming more tense and more furrowed this is for two main reasons as far as i can tell they're either one to be able to muscle back emotion that he's having and you can see that also happening in his eyes as they're becoming more inflamed which means that he's more likely to start crying and then also he might be angry in regards to what he's talking about if that's true that's good he should be angry about it he should be disgusted by it and very appalled by it and that is showing up somewhat in his eyebrows or at least as far as you can tell let's see what else the rest of the video says so that we can really add context to these tales that we're picking out here but i platform dom and not only did i platform down but i platformed the subject of sex in a negative way where i made jokes about it and i reinforced that kind of behavior and i'm so sorry and i really let not only you down but a lot of people down a lot of people that watch me so you can hear that the emotion is coming up in his throat now he's feeling this emotion it's showing up synchronized across his face and he's feeling it in his throat that's undeniable the question is why i'll talk about why after the video my friends and family for that i made the decision to no longer film with dom in 2019 and i'm not saying my content has been brilliant since then but that's when i first started taking into account the power dynamic and what influence i had on people that i was filming with but what i didn't do is i i'm unaware of the dynamics of the groups and the people that he works with and so on and so forth but if he did indeed cut ties with dom back in 2019 good that's great that should have happened to begin with as soon as anything like this ever came out regarding his content that's when he should have cut ties i don't know maybe that's when the only time that anything ever came out about his content but at least he has cut ties let's see what else he says here didn't go back to any of these women and apologize i i kind of moved on and i learned from it and i grew from it but i didn't address the situation with these women i'm not talking publicly i'm saying even privately i didn't reach out to any of these people and that breaks my heart knowing that that i was doing all this stuff and i was making all this content wow there was people that were still really hurt by what i made before my content shifted to this is an interesting portion here once again we are seeing actual emotion leaking out david isn't usually able to force emotions like this oftentimes influencers despite being able to pull off their videos well and the emotions of that well they still are not actors there's a hard line in between the two so the emotion that's leaking out here is genuine also he cuts it off that's an important point because once again that's showing that he's not here to cry his way into your sympathy he's here to apologize so that's important to note this video despite him being like oh this is just spur the moment this is more planned out than the last one seemed to be he is hitting points that he should have hit earlier also the fact that he didn't go back and apologize to people shows a psychological concept of many influencers is that they get so self-involved and so involved in their own work that they begin to lose touch of what's going on around them the effect that they're having on the people around them this is all pretty common in influencers who rely on shock value for their content to go well so it has to become more and more increasing and it usually will end up hurting or harming people emotionally or physically along the way and so far david has shown that that does indeed happen and the fact that he didn't go back and apologize just enforces this idea that it's very rare for an influencer to look outside of themselves and see what sort of effect they're really having on the world they like to have their idea as to the effect that they're having but the actual effect can be a much darker and more different story be more responsible and positive i said and did things that were really offensive and i called them bad jokes and i i can't even call them bad jokes and it was cowardly of me to say in my last apology that i missed the mark because it's [ __ ] gross and i'm sorry a lot of people reached out to me saying a little bit of disgust creeping into the corners of his nose there again as he's saying that it was gross and that he's sorry this should hopefully be in regards to the content that he made once again just because it's synchronized now doesn't mean that we're going to buy everything that david's saying hook line and sinker and i'll talk to you for a bit in just a second cancel culture is [ __ ] and you need to fight back and you need to call people out and i don't agree with how this should be taken at all and i think when there is a crisis there's a serious opportunity to correct yourself to learn and improve and to make sure those mistakes don't happen again and that's what is so important to hold yourself accountable and i think with this situation there's a lot i can look at and there's a lot i can learn from but there's a lot of mistakes that i made and i'm sorry for that i'm sorry for everybody i've let down a lot of blinking during this time this could be eye blocking he's separating himself from the negative emotion and it hasn't shown up anywhere else this consistently throughout the rest of the video so that does make sense but it's not in any sort of context that would encourage lying or anything along those lines it does make sense with his negativity towards the actions that he did let's talk a little bit later i know i keep saying that let's keep watching i'm sorry to my family and i'm sorry to my friends that i'm embarrassed and that this won't happen again i might take a short break from all the social media stuff because i realize there's a serious lack of infrastructure when i make any kind of content and i want to be able to have a place of checks and balances i want to have hr and i want to be able to have people communicate discomfort in a way that's that's comfortable to them and where they don't feel like their emotions or what they're doing or or how they're acting is compromised it doesn't feel right to go back to posting like i have been and it also doesn't feel right to go dark because i love what i do but i think it is important to show that change is possible and that i'm learning maybe even forgiveness is possible i want to use this opportunity to step up and on my mistakes and like i said before i've never done apology the right way um and i'm sure i'm gonna look back at this and i'm i'm gonna be pissed at some things that i didn't say or i wish i could have had it more um but this is this is my beginning to that and and i'm sorry for everybody that i hurt i also want to add that i'm making myself available to anyone so far this is all showing synchronization his hand motions are moving along with his words his head movements are moving along with his words everything is synchronized across his body he as far as i can tell from just the non-verbals is being genuine here authentic he's not showing any deceit he is indeed sorry that wants to reach out that i've hurt in the past i want to be able to to hear and understand from yourselves and i'll be reaching out on my own to some people um because i still have a lot of learning to do and i think when you talk to other people especially about experiences like this it um it really helps you see things in a different way but yeah i'm sorry if this video was all over the place i just wanted to sit and talk and ramble and and i really truly hope that someone can take something away from this experience that another creator can can take away from this and i know it's it feels and because i know how crazy it felt to me that there was some sort of toxicity or some sort of power dynamic in my friend group but really just take the moment especially when creating content that you're trying to get viewership out of or you're trying to get laughs out of like really take a moment and and look at where the jokes end and where the feelings begin because i think that's so incredibly important okay i'll see you guys bye all right what a time okay so that was the second apology from david dobrik within the past couple days there are massive improvements to his apology i don't know if he watched videos like mine or if he just decided to sit down and try to be real for a second so if we had seen this apology earlier if we had seen the emotion from this apology the organic nature of the apology how it didn't seem scripted it didn't seem like he sat down on a set to be able to shoot this video to make sure that he looks nice and so on and so forth if we had seen that earlier there would have been much less backlash but we didn't and now this comes to the important part where i was saying he has been presenting authentic synchronized nonverbal communication throughout the entirety of this video he has a lot of shrugs in there which are an indicator of insecurity he has a lot of moments where he gets choked up with emotion and he cuts those out and that shows that he's not here to show his crying he's here to apologize as he should but the reason that people are still upset actually there's a couple reasons the reasons that people are still upset is one this happened a while ago and he didn't apologize then which he acknowledges that here he says you know i have been an idiot and i didn't acknowledge it earlier and i should have so on and so forth but then he only sent this video out after he did his half-assed apology earlier he did the one apology that we all know and he has also proven was a garbage apology he did that one first and that's the one that he thought was going to be suitable uploaded to his third channel and without any way for feedback to come in the likes and dislikes were turned off the comments were turned off and that's what he thought was suitable for this situation that was his genuine reaction now we're having some different facets come in now sponsors are dropping left and right for david he is seeing tens of thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands perhaps even millions of dollars float away in front of him he's seeing his career more or less dissolve or burst into flames but he's seeing that happen and this lends towards the fear that you can see in his eyes throughout the entirety of the video the fear expression can also be related to stress or anxiety it's still in that group of emotions so he is afraid and you could see genuine pain in his eyes also amplified by the fact that he starts crying multiple times throughout the video or at least gets choked up albeit cut out so that shows that he is feeling genuine pain now even though he's feeling genuine fear and genuine pain that doesn't mean that it's directly related to the incident the incident itself evoked a half-assed lame apology several years later everything else falling apart evoked this one and that is why i still have a little bit of trouble buying into david's apology there is the distinct possibility that he will improve he will change his content he will go and he will make amends with the people that he hurt as best as he can and they don't have to forgive him there's no law there's no rule or anything that says that they have to forgive him and hopefully he understands that but if he starts making the steps to improve then this apology could be seen as genuine this is similar to what happened to logan paul like i mentioned in my other videos that he got so self-involved and so interested in views and money and fame so on and so forth that he started to lose touch as to what it really means to be a human being alongside everybody else and to be fair people who make this much money will lose touch regardless it's easy to lose touch as to where you came from once you get to a certain place but logan paul did that and then he got to his peak stupidity where he filmed a body in a forest and everything fell apart and that inspired logan to maybe do a little bit of introspection and he's kind of cleaned up his act fairly well from here on out so good on logan paul david has the possibility the opportunity to do that now he has the opportunity to allow himself to change and yes it should have never come up ever just that mindset is so frustrating to me infuriating to me that you would go and try to cause harm to these people around you that you call your friends in order to get more views it's just it's very infuriating and it just seems like a really self-absorbed selfish thing to do so it should never have come up and he should have apologized like this way earlier on say it was a lapse of judgment or something like that if he had come out and immediately apologized and immediately went to the people then that would have shown at least he had the wherewithal to apologize and to own up to his own idiocy but he didn't he waited for a while he offered this half-assed apology and now that everything else everything else is falling apart now he's being genuine it's frustrating it still comes across as fake to us because of everything else that has happened but we have to accept that maybe he will improve maybe this is the the push the breaking point that he needed to reach to become an actually better person focused on actually helping people rather than a click driven monster more or less so that's my analysis of david dobrik's apology genuine perhaps for the wrong reasons i hope this makes sense to you i hope you enjoyed this video i will be looking into some of the other members of this team group squad whatever people call it i'll be looking into their testimonies or apologies as they come up and are requested so that we can have a full-fledged picture and hopefully see some of the underlying psychological truths behind things as shown by their body language if you did like this video go ahead and hit the like button hit subscribe if you want to see the rest of the series and many many other videos to come hit the bell to see it sooner i also will sometimes randomly do a live stream and the only reason you'll know about it is because the bell will let you know so just keep that in mind as well if you would like to be able to support the channel outside of that we've got some links down in the description below for things like audible patreon merge so on and so forth all of those help out as well and i do appreciate literally anything that you're able to do that's all that i've got for the day my name is logan and you have been oh so awesome as you always are and i will see you in the next video cheers guys [Music] you
