00:00Hi, I'm Sunny, and I have a curse to live with.
00:03I'm too nice, and I can't say no.
00:05Whenever I try, I'm hit by a tsunami of guilt.
00:08I feel nauseous, my butt starts sweating,
00:10and I have to fix the situation.
00:12I just can't stand someone being displeased with me.
00:15I know what you're thinking.
00:17She's a people pleaser, a pushover.
00:19And of course, you're right.
00:20But it took me some time to realize that.
00:22But before I continue, like and subscribe.
00:24Sorry, it's not an order.
00:26It's just a request.
00:28Please?
00:28I never disobeyed my mother.
00:30I always shared my lunch at school.
00:32I always gave up the swing at the park.
00:33And I could never turn down a poor person's request.
00:37Like this one time in 10th grade,
00:38I was running back home after school
00:40when the homeless guy around the corner asked me for a favor.
00:43Hey, Sunny.
00:44Could you hold this shovel for a few minutes?
00:46It's really heavy, and I need to run to the soup kitchen
00:49before it closes.
00:50Sure, no problem.
00:51I kept standing there for two hours, and he didn't return.
00:55Finally, I left the shovel in the homeless guy's corner
00:58with an apology note.
00:59But later that night, the police turned up
01:01at my door to arrest me.
01:03Apparently, they found my fingerprints
01:05all over a murder weapon, a freaking shovel.
01:08It took a while to get my name cleared.
01:10Or this one time, I had to go to the bathroom in the mall
01:13when I accidentally went into the disabled people's stall.
01:16When I came out, I was met by a furious woman in a wheelchair.
01:20I've been holding my pee for 10 minutes.
01:22People like you are what's wrong with society.
01:25What?
01:25Oh, no.
01:26This was a mistake.
01:27I'm so sorry.
01:28I followed her all over the mall begging for forgiveness
01:31till she called security and told them I was harassing her.
01:35Well, naturally, I followed her home
01:36and started showing up at her door every day.
01:38Her servants wouldn't let me in.
01:40So one day, I broke into her house through a window.
01:42Please, please, just say you'll forgive me.
01:45I can't live like this anymore.
01:47She filed a restraining order that day.
01:49I still pay for a plane to go over her house every week
01:52and skywrite my apology.
01:54In addition to being nice, I'm also a teen model.
01:56I know.
01:57I'm breaking stereotypes.
01:58I've been on the cover of a dozen fashion magazines.
02:01And I've walked on many big runways.
02:03My career was amazing.
02:05Till my mom convinced me to fire my agent
02:07and hire her instead.
02:09Trust me, honey.
02:10I'll make you a star.
02:11Um, that's nice, Mom.
02:13But you have no experience.
02:14What does that matter?
02:16I'm your mother.
02:17And no one will ever have your interest at heart like I do.
02:20I was in labor with you for the worst 23 minutes of my life.
02:24Remember?
02:24Right, of course.
02:26You can be my agent.
02:28I already knew it was a horrible idea.
02:30Mom hated people and rubbed everyone the wrong way.
02:33She screamed at the photographers
02:34and made a makeup artist cry.
02:36She even yelled at a famous designer
02:38and started mopping the floor with his dress
02:41to show him what she really thought of it.
02:43Soon, Mom started complaining about our small house
02:46in our dingy neighborhood
02:47and started making trouble with the loud, ugly neighbors.
02:50Her words, not mine.
02:51So, I bought a chic new apartment in a posh area.
02:55But then, Mom started complaining about her privacy.
02:58Sunny, you really are getting in the way.
03:01My new boyfriend and I need our space.
03:03But you're standing in my room.
03:05Maybe you should move.
03:07Yeah, I know.
03:07It didn't make any sense.
03:08I bought the place.
03:09I was bringing in the money.
03:11I shouldn't be the one to move out.
03:12But as always, I gave in.
03:14After buying the apartment, money was a bit tight.
03:17Luckily, I found a room in a beautiful beach house
03:20that I had to share with three other models.
03:21Sasha, Tracy, and Mika.
03:23And I soon discovered that living with models,
03:25the drama was always out of control.
03:28I mean, what would you expect from girls
03:29who eat a cube of cheese, one grape, and two almonds a day?
03:33They're always hangry.
03:35That's my seat, you stupid cow.
03:37Is your name written on the seat?
03:39OMG, are you wearing my shirt?
03:41Is your name written on the shirt?
03:43Show me where it is.
03:44Can you idiots shut up?
03:46If I don't get enough sleep, I'd look like a raccoon.
03:49And then, I'll bite like one, too.
03:51I had to break up almost a dozen cat fights.
03:54One day, I cooked us all dinner so we could
03:56try to get to know each other.
03:57Sasha dreamed of being a pop star.
03:59Tracy loved to work out.
04:01And Mika was insanely pretty and loved rubbing
04:04that in everyone's face.
04:05I asked Sasha to sing us one of her songs.
04:07And I'd never heard something so horrible in my life.
04:11Of course, I still clapped for her.
04:12But Mika and Tracy fell off their seats laughing.
04:16What's so funny?
04:17You sound like a constipated pig.
04:20I'd rather put my head up a cow's butt than listen to you.
04:24Yeah, stick to modeling as long as you can.
04:27I mean, you're already showing signs of aging.
04:30Sasha got so mad that she threw her plate of pasta at Tracy.
04:33Tracy ducked and the food landed on Mika's dress.
04:36And they started shouting and pulling at each other's hair.
04:39I tried to break up the fight.
04:40But I slipped on some sauce and fell.
04:42Then, someone tossed a hair extension onto the stove.
04:45And the kitchen caught fire.
04:46When the landlord found out, he was furious
04:49and banned us from the kitchen.
04:50I put up an ad online for a chef.
04:52And a ridiculously good-looking candidate named
04:55Lance showed up the next day.
04:57So Lance, you can cook, huh?
04:59Yeah, that's why I applied for the job.
05:02Lance, your cologne is to die for.
05:05I'm not wearing any cologne.
05:06Lance, did you just fix our sink?
05:08You're such a genius.
05:10It wasn't broken.
05:10You just left the faucet on.
05:12Your biceps look like boulders.
05:14Can I touch them?
05:15I'd prefer it if you didn't.
05:17Lance was an amazing chef, a handyman, and even a gardener.
05:21One day, all of us were drooling at his abs
05:23as he pulled out weeds.
05:24When suddenly, some crazy paparazzi
05:27climbed over our garden wall.
05:29Lance ran towards them like Tom Cruise,
05:31broke their cameras, kicked their butts,
05:33and sent them running.
05:34Oh my god.
05:35I can't take it anymore.
05:37I have to ask him out.
05:38No, he's mine.
05:39What?
05:39I saw him first.
05:40I don't think he's interested in dating any of us.
05:43Shut up.
05:44Who asked you?
05:45The girls cornered Lance in the hallway
05:47to get his attention.
05:48Sasha sang Lance an awful love song.
05:50Tracy did a cheerleading routine.
05:52Then Mika walked up in a bathing suit.
05:54Hey, Lance, you want to go for a swim?
05:57No thanks.
05:58I got to get back to work.
05:59But the girls' constant flirting and fawning over Lance
06:02got so out of hand that he couldn't do his job properly
06:05since he was always trying to hide from them.
06:07One of the toilets got clogged, the shower stopped working,
06:09and the front yard was starting to look like a jungle.
06:12I can't live like this.
06:14How are we supposed to share one bathroom?
06:16I haven't taken a shower in two days.
06:19I proposed a solution.
06:20OK, then.
06:21From here on out, Lance is off limits.
06:23No one is dating Lance.
06:25They reluctantly agreed, and we made a pact.
06:28We all left Lance alone, and soon the house
06:30started getting back to normal.
06:32A couple of months later, I threw a party
06:34and invited a bunch of rich models.
06:36Sasha, Tracy, and Mika seemed to forget
06:38about their crush on Lance in about two minutes.
06:40Just then, the doorbell rang, and mom walked in.
06:43Hey, honey, did you miss me?
06:45Clearly not, or you would have sent me a proper invite.
06:48Mom, actually, I, yes, you're right.
06:51I'm sorry, but I'm glad you're here now.
06:53Just for 10 minutes.
06:54I don't want to overstay where I'm not wanted.
06:57I just need to borrow a couple of dresses from you
06:59and about $20,000.
07:01But I let you borrow $10,000 last week.
07:03Don't be cheap, honey.
07:04It's unattractive.
07:05Don't you want mommy to buy something
07:07nice for her birthday?
07:08Your birthday isn't for another 11 months.
07:11But mom was being pushy, and I knew she'd make a scene.
07:14So I gave her my credit card and told
07:16her to return it in two weeks.
07:18Just then, I noticed Lance shaking his head at me,
07:21and then he walked away.
07:22After the party, the house was a mess.
07:25So I asked the girls to help me clean up.
07:27Sorry, I have plans with my new boyfriend.
07:30I'm allergic to dirt.
07:31I twisted my ankle.
07:32I'm going to rest.
07:33OK, no problem.
07:34Sleep tight.
07:35I was up well into the night still cleaning
07:38when Lance joined me and started to help.
07:40Why are you still here?
07:41You don't need to do this.
07:42I stayed back in case you girls needed me.
07:44I don't mind.
07:45As we were cleaning, I kept catching
07:47him looking at me strangely.
07:49OK, I can't take it any longer.
07:50Why are you staring at me like I have two heads?
07:53You're not like the others.
07:55You're a misfit.
07:55Well, that's rude.
07:56No, it's a good thing.
07:58You're beautiful, but not self-absorbed.
08:00You're smart, and you seem like a really kind person.
08:03You think I'm beautiful?
08:04That's all you got from what I said?
08:06Lance gave me that strange look and went back to work.
08:09You're doing that thing with your face again.
08:11Did I do something to make you mad?
08:13Are you disappointed?
08:14Why do you care what I think?
08:16I don't know why.
08:17I just do.
08:17It's how I'm built.
08:19Want some advice?
08:20Just stop caring what others think,
08:21and stop letting people push you around and use you.
08:24You deserve better.
08:25Excuse me?
08:26I am not so naive that.
08:28Really?
08:28Then how come you're the only one who's
08:30cleaning up after the party?
08:31And has your mom ever returned the money she keeps borrowing?
08:35That's none of your business.
08:36OK, that was kind of rude.
08:38I'm sorry.
08:39Why are you always sorry?
08:41Also, would you like to go out with me sometime?
08:43What?
08:44After you just insulted me?
08:45No.
08:46I mean, I'm sorry to crush your feelings,
08:48and it feels nice to be asked out by someone like you.
08:51But no.
08:51Sorry.
08:52I spent the rest of the night replaying my conversation
08:55with Lance, feeling angry.
08:57But as I cooled off, I couldn't help thinking
08:59that maybe he was right.
09:00I did a lot for Mom and the girls,
09:02and I couldn't remember the last time
09:04they did anything nice for me.
09:05The next day, I was watching my favorite MSA videos
09:08on the TV when the girls walked in
09:10and Tracy just snatched the remote from me
09:12and changed the channel.
09:13I want to watch a movie.
09:14Sunny, please sit on the other sofa.
09:16No, Sunny.
09:17Don't sit anywhere.
09:18You've got to drive me to the nail salon.
09:19Sunny, all my clothes are wrinkled.
09:21Iron them when you're back.
09:22Lance was right.
09:23I was a pushover, and I didn't like it.
09:26No.
09:26What do you mean no?
09:28I won't take you to the beauty salon.
09:30I won't iron your clothes.
09:31And I was watching TV.
09:33All you do is use me, and you don't respect me.
09:36And that's not cool.
09:37Oh, also, I'm going to go out with Lance,
09:39and you all have boyfriends, so I don't care if you're mad.
09:42I am breaking the pact.
09:43They were shocked, and so was I.
09:46I'd never yelled at anyone in my life, and it felt good.
09:49Later that day, the girls apologized
09:51for treating me badly and promised not to take advantage
09:54of me anymore.
09:55They even gave me their blessing to date Lance.
09:58And of course, I forgave them.
09:59Lance and I started dating soon, and we
10:01had such a good time together.
10:03He helped me stand up for myself more often
10:05and gain confidence.
10:06I even booked some modeling gigs without involving Mom,
10:09and I was doing great.
10:10One evening, Mom invited me to dinner at a fancy restaurant,
10:13and I decided to introduce Lance to her there.
10:16Break up with him, honey.
10:17That boy's a waste of time.
10:19I'm sitting right here.
10:20Mom, Lance is a nice guy, and he makes me happy.
10:23He's a loser.
10:25By the way, Lance, are you going to finish that cheesecake?
10:27Before I forget, sonny, I need to borrow your credit card
10:30again to book a flight to Hawaii.
10:31So just give it to me after you've paid for this meal, OK?
10:34I felt a wave of rage sweep through me.
10:37No!
10:38What's that sound you just made?
10:40I've never heard it from your mouth before.
10:42Hear it now, loud and clear.
10:45No, no, no, no, and sayonara.
10:48Oh, one last thing.
10:49You're fired.
10:50I snapped my credit card in half, grabbed Lance's hand,
10:53and stormed out of there.
10:55I'm sorry about my mom.
10:56She shouldn't have treated you that way.
10:58Don't worry about it.
10:59I'm so proud of you for standing up to her.
11:01Lance was such a supportive boyfriend,
11:03but mom got more conniving by the minute.
11:05She started sending me dozens of texts begging me for money,
11:08and it got harder to ignore her each day.
11:11One night, Lance caught me sneaking out of the house.
11:13Where are you going?
11:14Uh, for a jog.
11:15At midnight?
11:16Fine, I admit it.
11:18I can't help myself.
11:19It's a curse.
11:19I know my mom's using me, but I can't sleep at night
11:22since I refused her money.
11:23There's no hope for me.
11:24I'm doomed.
11:25Leave now and save yourself.
11:27I started crying like a baby, and Lance pulled me into a hug.
11:31Maybe you should try giving money to a good cause, Sunny.
11:33To people who really need your help.
11:35I thought that was a great idea.
11:37The next day, Lance introduced me
11:39to his cousin Nancy, who owned a nonprofit
11:41to feed hungry kids.
11:42I was so excited to help that I wrote Nancy a big fat check.
11:46Sunny, that's a lot of money.
11:48Maybe you should think about this.
11:49No, I insist.
11:51A couple of weeks later, I donated double the amount.
11:53And the month after, I tripled it.
11:56It felt amazing.
11:57But one morning, Lance didn't show up to work
11:59and didn't answer any of my calls either.
12:02When two days passed by, I started
12:04getting really worried and filed a missing person report.
12:07I even called up Nancy, but her phone was off too.
12:09And then I found pictures of Lance and Nancy
12:12on social media living their best life on some beach.
12:15Lance wasn't even his real name.
12:17Their whole charity was a big scam.
12:19And duh, Nancy wasn't his cousin.
12:21I was so devastated, I couldn't get out of bed, take a shower,
12:24or comb my hair for days.
12:26What is up with you, girl?
12:28You smell like a gym sock soaked in spoiled milk.
12:31Is there something living in your hair?
12:33I burst into tears and told them everything.
12:36I knew Lance was trouble with his perfect eyes and hair.
12:39He was way too good to be true.
12:40Of course he was evil.
12:42We'll make him pay.
12:43First, we went to the police, who put out
12:45a warrant for the pair's arrest.
12:47But they were smart and couldn't easily be found.
12:49Next, the girls and I went online
12:51and told our followers about Nancy and Lance's scam
12:53and asked for help to find them.
12:55Within minutes, we got a dozen leads.
12:57Nancy and Lance were arrested at an airport
12:59trying to leave the country.
13:01Sasha threw a party at the house to celebrate.
13:03But for some reason, I still wasn't happy.
13:06I took a walk to get some air.
13:08And I saw these kids waiting in line outside a soup kitchen.
13:11Suddenly, it turned on a light bulb in my head.
13:14Before I knew it was a fraud, it had
13:16made me really happy thinking my money was going to needy kids.
13:20I could start my own charity.
13:22Being nice didn't have to be my weakness.
13:25It could be my superpower.
13:27And now, five years later, I'm running soup kitchens
13:30all over the country.
13:32My model friends volunteer sometimes, too.
13:34How about I perform for these kids after they've all eaten?
13:37No!
13:38You two are just jealous.
13:40You like my music, right, Sunny?
13:42Sasha, I love you.
13:44But I really, really, really hate your music.
13:48Sorry, I'm not that nice anymore.
