35 Heartwarming Submissions For The “You’re Enough” TikTok Trend Inspiring People To Show How Much They Appreciate Their Loved Ones
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.

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.
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.
You do what you can do, and that's all that matters. You can give plenty of Love.
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 so sad to see someone's spirit crushed like this. Keep it up, chef!
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. :)
Just ignore them, and be your self. I wish you all the Luck in the world for whatever you wish to do in the Future.
It is emotionally exhausting ignoring people constantly haranguing you though. It takes huge amounts of energy, which now isn't available for other things in his life. And it eats away at your soul and your self worth, no matter what. If the school have no idea or motivation to change the atmosphere so that no one feels the desire to behave like that, then that boy should be being sent there every bloody day. Makes me furious. Take him out of school. I bet he''s motivated to learn at home while you find another school place for him.

In my opinion, as an autistic queer myself, Lightning McQueer is an INCREDIBLE nickname. Not in this context, though.
I had problems in high school too, though for different reasons (between 9th and 11th grade, I was teased because I was chubby, plus kind of awkward). My oldest brother sat down with me and told me that I just needed to remember that high school is temporary. That it’s a big world, full of all kinds of people, and that once I graduated and went out into it, I would find countless numbers of people who would love me just they way I am, and never even think of being cruel or forcing me to change. Plus, once I left high school. I would be amazed at just how little I would even think of it, even though it felt so all-consuming right then. Not to mention how little what I was going through would end up seriously affecting the rest of my life. He was right. High school was over in a flash, and my life became my own, to fill with people I chose to be around, which would make dealing with the assholes so much easier. This WILL happen to you too. So just don’t listen to the assholes, concentrate on keeping your grades up, and graduate. After that, the world will be your oyster.
My children are autistic and awesome. You are awesome and don't you forget it.
lots of my friends are autistic and queer. wish I could adopt him into my friend group.
My husband is autistic too and dealt with the same issues in highschool, but now he is older and sometimes gets the same treatment from adults who don't understand, but I would never want him to be any other way!
Maybe it’s because I am old and have made more mistakes than any one person should be allowed to, but, this much I know. People prejudge causing prejudice. And not only are they generally really wrong, and haven’t passed that almighty ruling, but have only shown what they think of themselves, and the only way they vent is by bringing others down. And, you are beyond enough. You are overflow of creativity, uniqueness, and courage. Not get out there and get your vision! And let them stand stagnant on the sidewalk of life while you are the grand Marshall of your own parade!
That's it. I'm you're bonus mom now and I want you to know that I love you and care about you!
But lightning McQueen would surely also work, they changed it when they didn't need to, PLUS he was the winner and the star of the film so I guess they must think you rock!!
Just realize that every one of those people are knuckle draggers that will end up miserable and alone. As for the one that hit you, I hope there were charges pressed against them.
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.
Even if he looked like a scruffy mut, it's nicer when dad is there.
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.

I don't like the wording "you're enough". Maybe it's because I don't understand the real meaning of it as I'm not a native english speaker but somehow it feels like they are saying "you're enough, but no more than that". Why not say "you're great the way you are"? To me, enough sounds like they barely passed the bar
Because "You're enough" means that the person (or animal) is absolutely all that their partner or child needs, that they don't have to be something else or different just to "fit in." It's a very nice thing for anyone to hear---at least, to those of us who are native speakers of English---and isn't the least bit of a negative thing to say. I hope that helps clarify what they're all saying.
Load More Replies... I know my son is embarrassed of me. I am not enough and that's okay, I can't be everything for everyone.
Why would they crop it from 36 pics to 35, that's unnecessary and mean!
You're enough seems like an insult. To me "you're more than you know" would fit the sentiment better.
How does it seem like an insult? I'm confused.

Most of us don't care about our family flaws. We still love them no matter how weird and annoying they are. Nobody is perfect. That imperfection makes us perfect.
