“[I] almost got kidnapped, fully controlling and demoralizing childhood, sh*t teenage hood and my transition to adulthood also sucked,” SeLFlo added. The YouTuber continued to confess all the traumatic experiences he’s had to endure and talked more about how difficult it was for him to socialize and make friends.

“I have difficulties making friends, socializing, maintaining self-control, having no self-worth, being around in public, talking to people, [and] I can't even talk to people online properly,” he said. SeLFlo dived deeper into his life, discussing all the challenges and attempts to escape depression and the experiences that haunted him or still did at the time.

The YouTuber said he “[couldn’t] recall any genuinely happy moments from [his] personal real life.” However, he expressed how glad he felt when his YouTube channel kicked off, grew into a community of fans, and described the journey as “probably the happiest thing that has happened to [him].”

Rest in Peace SeLFlo, a Valorant YouTuber who shared his final messages on Twitter and YouTube before ending his own life.

He had spoken of depression and many other struggles he was going through. If you are struggling with mental health, seek help, reach out to someone.

In his final words, he wrote, “I know my death won't be remembered.” But fans may disagree as his community comes together to mourn the death of their favorite Valorant content creator. Rest in Peace, SeLFlo.
