- years went by and my circle got smaller until no one was in it but that’s okay, we are still going to go up it’s really good so i don’t have to worry about snakes in the garden while I continue to work on myself.
This hit so close to home. It’s not like u hate ur old friends or anything, there’s just a point in time where ur interests ain’t theirs and ur kinda checked out of forcing urself to be something ur not. I love that ur able to record urself despite what ur old friends may have said, because that is wt makes u happy. True friends should support u in ur interests if they’re healthy and not hurting anybody, and they’ll tell u respectfully when they don’t agree with something ur doing. It’s hard to find genuine people out there, not to say that everyone’s not genuine in their own way, but I mean genuine in the sense to where u can sit down and share a piece of ur humanity with them and vice versa. Not forcing anything. Friends should enhance ur life not control it. Respect to u for speaking out man, I feel like so many of us feel this way but u had the courage to make a video about it and as u can see it’s touched so many peoples hearts. Keep doin wt ur doin man, it’s inspiring honestly.
Dang, 3 minutes ago with a pin? Dude is dedicated.
@@cainthegreat3056 I was just as surprised as u lol this guys the goat fr
kinda cool
Never had a more relatable video randomly get suggested
This is so true. This feeling just happened to me.
when he said "school buddies" i felt that on another level
FOR REAL MAN I THINKIN BOUT THAT RN G
😢
I didn’t find my real people till I was 23. It was always people I grew up with, or yeah school buddies… once I found my real people I felt a true change in my life and myself like I had never knew was possible. It’s a true love that is life changing.
yeah i thought i had a bunch of friends until i realized the meaning of school friends so in reality i only have a couple ppl

I never had genuine friends. It was ten years of 'drinking buddies'. When I stopped drinking, they stopped calling.
Same here but with weed, once I stopped smoking for Like A month or 2 they never hit me up.
Amen to that. My friends from the last 7 years only wanna get together to drink. Now that I’ve stepped away from that life, they pretty much never reach out.
Similar situation with me. Coworker who I thought was my friend used to drink with me every weekend after work. We had rounds of beers together and told each other personal life stuff and talked about how work could be better, etc. He was recently offered another position at a different location and decided to take it. Other than one brief text I never heard from him again. Coworkers are just that. Coworkers. They're not your friends. Lesson learned.
@@josebro352 that’s life bro
Depressing tbh but you'll see who there for you for you
I’m 25. It’s starting to take a toll on me. It’s been a few years I just feel sad not having anyone to make plans with or get asked
Man I know what you mean. The other day my cousin asked me to bring him $80 cash and I got so excited cuz I actually had a reason to go out and do something with someone.
Was short lived tho cuz all I did was give him the cash and left but that’s the level of lonely I’ve reached.
Running an errand for my cousin got me excited lmaoo.
@@Rockyroad321 make sure u cousin aint taking advantage of u. stay strong and i hope u find some good friends bro
@@zxorizonn_3111 oh nah he just needed physical cash, he E-transferred the 80 to me before.
Jesus loves you. i was the same. God fills that void
Im 19 and I feel like I’m missing out all the time. But then I remember my high school days and how I was pretty much alone too. Everyone my age was either always high, or doing some dumb shit. They’d call me names for actually caring ab my grades 😂 so I’ve just gotten used to being alone tbh. Until someone is actually mature and doesn’t require some type of drug to have fun, and has ambitions and want to make a better future, imma stay alone.
The comparison of school buddy's and friends hit so hard.
To je real
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥

Not enough people talk about how lonely your 20s can be. Thanks man
20s that’s nothing wait til u hit 30/40s real life starts there
@@hintvision yeah but you can get kids, wife, etc.
@@outis439-A only if you are that lucky. if you have no friends at 20's, it gets harder to develop friendship and social circle, to get to meet people and meet your girl friend / wife.
Im 27 now and am confinced that your 20's are supposed to be lonely. You usually got alot of shit going on whether it be grinding at something (hobby, school/work, sports) or even mental because the early 20's are very rough IMO. As you get older you'll become more collected and actually find the energy and time to make friends. That's my theory anyway, Im still a lone wolf but I wouldn't wan't it any other way as of right now
@@hintvisionwtf, it gets worse??? What is life bruh 🤦🏾♂️
who wants to be his friend
👇
I'd be his homie anyday. Dude's seem solid.
Fuck it's sad knowing so many of us are alone
Stay strong out there
me fr man
yall chasing shit stfu and be real
Be careful who you trust and tell your problems to because everyone who smiles at you is not your friend
Any day
I've only ever had 2 friends in highschool. They ignored me a few days after graduation, so I moved on. I had no friends for around 11 years. I only have 1 good friend now. It's the quality, not the quantity.
facts
How do you find a good friend if you don’t mind me asking?
@@javiereg956i wish i could answer you. try finding a friend through what you like? if you like football, join a football team for fun. what are your hobbies, what do you like to do?
@@javiereg956 I wouldn't say there is a way. Kinda just happened for me.
@@javiereg956 It's the same thing I say to people who "need" to have a romantic partner. If you are looking for it, it can happen. But you're also forcing it, which risks a lower quality relationship that won't last. A real relationship will happen whether you meant for it to or not. People gravitate towards each other most when they're not trying to. If I reach out to you, it's because I want to reach out to YOU. Not because I need someone, anyone so I just settle for you. lol
YOU'RE 100% CORRECT. Been there, and been on the complete opposite side of there for 28 years. Now 35 and lost... 20's were incredible, then 29 hits and everyone's having a baby, not ready for it, and stressed to the max. All the threads that once connected the friend group, are now lost and meaningless. I had social life before COVID, a long contact list that was endless in names and recent calls/texts. Since then I still talk to 2 people that are not blood.... rarely. There are very few people left in the world that are NOT NARCISSISTS! If you find one, or anyone that you TRULY get along with, PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS! Thank you brother for showing me I'm not alone.
I hate seeing stuff like this because it makes me realize how alone I actually am. I work at a gas station at night, so it's literally just me most of the time and my thoughts, and I'll tell you what, man, being alone with just your thoughts can be depressing as hell. It's gotten to the point where I truthfully don't even know how to make friends.
It’s okay man you’re gonna get through trust. We’re all here with u don’t worry
I’ve lost most of my friends. I work second shift and a truck driver so I have nothing but the road and my thoughts and it’s a killer sometimes. Just know even tho you may feel alone, you are never alone. I feel and understand your pain.
you are the man
Trust me bro I've been the same. Try to use your loneliness to your advantage and truly find yourself. I've found out where my morals lie being lonely and it kind of kept me at peace with it. Once you get out of your bubble, you'll be able to have conversations with people. Nothing just clicks it takes time just like almost every skill known to man.
@@moeski17 same situation I used it as my advantage, feeling really relaxed and peaceful
Being your own best friend is a super power most people can’t achieve
That’s true, I hate myself or atleast some parts in my mind do. Some parts of my mind try to convince me to feel suicidal, some little parts in my mind art seeing the good. I think i am depressed deep down because at school my friends only see my happiness because I hide my sad side. I could never be friends with myself
@@Bye_everyone000 I am feeling the exact same way as you.
💯💯As a 42 year old man i learned this the hard-way 🙏
I dont hate myself really. Other people say i hate myself, but im not them, and they got issues.
@@Bye_everyone000 If it's any consolation bro I feel the same. I alternate between liking myself and hating myself on a daily basis. I've always related to that line in Lord of the Rings where Gandalf says about Gollum how he 'hates and loves the ring as he hates and loves himself. Smeagol's life is a sad story'. Hope you have bright days ahead bro. Peace.
"school buddies" what an accurate term man.
You know deep down that those people don’t have your back. They’re not going to go out of their way to talk to you or know anything about you. I really don’t feel like there’s anyone who I can be 100% honest with. All the friends I’ve had, I have to put on some exaggerated persona. But that’s not me. I know other people are going to relate to this.
@@Juan-wo7zui relate to ts so much man
@@Juan-wo7zuFor fucking real man. I’ve realized that people mostly want to talk about themselves, and when the conversation turns to something else the interest isn’t there
I feel you my brotha! I never had friends myself. Many people never found me entertaining because I do not act thuggish, drink alcohol, do drugs, or smoke weed! So, many people always found me boring! Unfortunately, we live in a popularity, fame, and social status socity that seems to be the reasons why a person have friends! Keep your head up, stay true to yourself, and never let anyone tell you your not worthy! Focus on your goals. Remember, you are somebody my brotha, YOU ARE SOMEBODY! always remember this somebodiness inside of you!
Damn i felt this
Im 22, i had the same experience at my highschool graduation. Nobody was there for me and I walked by everybody taking pictures and drove home. Ill never forget that
Cold
if it makes you feel better i didn't go to my middle, high, and college graduation.
i also pretty much stop celebrating my birthday around high school.
Me too
Im the same. At my HS graduation I left while everyone took pictures with each other. My best friend stood me up at the graduation after party. I never felt more alone. And when I come back to my hometown I have no good friends. I just sit at home waiting to go back to college.
Exactly my same experience
you genuinely expressing yourself and not cutting the vid all the time feels authentic and nostalgic kinda like the real friend you always had fun and serious conversations abt
thanks family ❤️ that’s means a lot to me
nice catch friend, I also felt what you mean... these kinda talk if it weren't a video, it would be a very meaningful interaction, a kind of interaction would fill the emptiness.
not complaining, not gossips, not pretending, just being authentic and talking heart to heart.
Exactly! The real ones who don’t have a marketing funnel or a plan to monetize UA-cam and make $18 billion a day, and I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with monetizing UA-cam… If you can do it, do it… We all need some extra cash and if you are actually sharing wisdom with people that helps them, you deserve a few bucks or all the money in the world, but it’s a formulaic cult at this point and it’s so obvious to people who know how these things work!
I love it when people say that they charge $10,000 an hour for their coaching. Yeah, no one ever paid you $10,000 an hour. I charge $10,000 an hour to do nothing but no one’s ever paid me 10,000 to do nothing. Maybe they will someday. 😂
I’m Japanese and recently I learned English and now I can understand English pretty well, and I started to watch UA-cam in English too.
It’s surprise me that a lot of foreign people are also feel lonely too. I see a lot of video of talking their thought which is interesting. Because my image of US people was optimistic, happy and always throwing party and some shi.
It’s good to know and interesting to know your thought and read comments too
Good vid my man
ps my English is surely improving isn’t it:)
Your english is perfectly fine man :D
your english is really good!!
good shi
"some shi" man you knew english for a long time
Theres a reason everyone be partying and drinking its because behind the scenes they got problems they haven't dealt with yet or even realize
When I sit down and I look at myself, I start to realize I really have had no true friends or no true connections. Not a single person, not even my mother or father I can truly say I have a deep and affectionate bond with. My dad's a narcissistic jerk and my mom is always doing stuff, so theres nothing to bond with her on. If there was a bond before, it's most definitely gone now. The more I look around, the more I realize I'm slowly gaining weight, losing friends, and i can't find anyone with similar passions or things to connect with them on, well, because I can't find anything to connect with to myself. Nothing is really interesting and that's mainly because I don't have anything to do. Being lower middle class means you have no money to do fun things, therefore you have no money to actually find passion or connect, so you are just working paycheck to paycheck and sit miserably depressed inside your room.
I'm also going through the same situation but I realised that we have to be happy with ourselves. We can't buy dreams with money. Focus on yourself, know your ability and chase your dreams, be proud and feel happy about who you are. It's your life dude
It makes my heart bleed for people who actually suffer from this type of loneliness where the person actively seek friends but are unable to make any. That is the true struggle.
This made me realize how pathetic it sounds to people
This is me. My heart hurts so much from it all.
Did you not watch the video
He’s not actively seeking friends lol he just said he would like to have some
@@Hakuuu99seriously this made me feel worse lmfao
i graduated in 21 and I also lost 95% of my "friends". even when I was young, I made the distinction that these school friends arent really real friends, they're just acquaintances, all contact died outside the classroom and playground, I was never really into sports like that so I never connected to peers. I've always been seen as the quiet kid and its a certain type of awful when you're the quiet kid whos too anxious to put yourself out there to actually meet people. i stayed by myself all throughout highschool until I met the 2 only other people I talk to from my class, who I am slowly losing touch with now, since we're almost to our mid 20's and the time just isn't there anymore.. i could rant forever but I just want ya to know this video really touched me, it really felt like i was sitting across from you in the field. thank you so much. we'll make it through the rough waters and eventually get to the smooth ocean.
same
i will just end it all no one likes me
@@paulo0651 dont do that bro we love you.
@@paulo0651 Dont do that bro, most people feel like that at some point but it can only go up from that point. Exercise and just keep pushing through and you'll thrive.
What's sad is that people have the expectation that friends are just friends they don't play a meaningful part in life, but that's so wrong. Even when you get married you'll still need friends to nurture and recharge you. I hope you find the friends you need. ❤
Saw your face, read the caption, and knew bro was going through the same thing I am right now. I started reading I stop playing video games. I started eating healthy, hitting the gym, actually working towards the person I wanted to be and I watched everybody I loved fall away. Don’t worry bro you’re not alone sadly, in the end we’re all we got so we have to make ourselves the best version possible it’s not always gonna be like that but inevitably it will.
keep going family you on the right path 📈
@@jaylinjenkinsyt trust family I’m right there with you/ you. God/Universe gave us the vision for a reason ain’t nobody else supposed to understand it.
This the one ☝🏽
I saw something in his face, too, but didn't know what.
I'm trying to quit videogames and weed but it's tough because I don't have enough hobbies. I love playing sports and guitar but I get bored easily because of my adhd
I'll be 21 in a few weeks, and the only friend I've had it's been from the internet, we've been talking for 8 years now and he's also been alone, only for wanting to bond more with people instead of something superficial. I've never had friends, and since 2020 it's only gotten worse, but I know they'll come when the time is right, If you seek them desperately you'll only find more of those people who don't care much and will quickly forget about their "friends."
I love these types of videos, helps you remember you're not alone in this. There'll always be people here that'll support you, even if they're far away, because they know how it feels. Thanks for this.
yo u being outside when u talk idk why, but it makes it seem so much more personal. love it my man. fr keep this up.
i gotchu brotha 💪🏾
back to the playground
Duke dennis?
REAL QUEEN
Same, No friends just "Buddies". There is a strong difference between Buddies and real Friends, Real Friends are hard to get.
Especially after elementary school
REAL FRIENDS HOW MANY OF US
I hear exactly what you are saying. I am 61 years old and I am a widow. My whole life I was aloof from most people. My husband has been in Heaven for 6 years.
i hope you will find people to hang out with
I'm sorry to hear that. Jesus loves you
Im sorry. Stay strong and hopefully you can make the most of what life throws at ya
Life isn’t over till it’s over. Your husband is watching you everyday and wants you to be happy. You got this :)
U can’t prove he went to heaven
I feel this on so many levels I spend most of my time alone and I just turned 21 watching this video definitely made me feel a lil better knowing I’m not the only one who feels like this ! If your reading this comment just always remember sometimes it’s okay to be alone 🫶🏼
Mannn, this is the realest shit I've ever heard. Just recently a "friend" that I was hanging out with have been on and off for the past 2 years I could barely call us friends anymore. Finally, I told him how I want to grow and become a better version of myself, how I didn't want the same things, activities anymore; we ended up "breaking up" our "friendship". I got told "You've Changed". I thought I was the only one, since the beginning I didn't get invited to sleepovers, hangouts, parties. That was until I stumbled apon you. Never had REAL friends, the struggle is real, but I can't compromise for a shitty situation.
Im 32 and I thought I was the only guy like this… I’ve found myself focusing on improving myself more not having friends. I had friends growing up but didn’t realize until I separated myself from them due to them stabbing me in my back that they were not actually my friends. I had a mental breakdown and was severely depressed between 2019-2021 not knowing how to be alone with my life and my thoughts. After therapy, realizing that it’s nothing wrong with me being who I truly am and working on controlling my emotions now I can actually say I’m proud of myself. Now I just don’t know how to get friends or maybe I’m just protecting my energy and my mental health.
Man, this video is so beautiful it made me cry. I’ve been alone alone with little communication for months and I still barely have anybody. My family is toxic and I can’t communicate w them, and I don’t want to. And I’m only 18 but it’s okay. I hope I find the strength in me to keep pushing forward
i’m in the same boat keep forging ahead
I have a toxic family that destroyed my life and turned my friends against me. I have friends, no family, forced to rebuild myself alone right now. It's tough, but it makes you stronger. Keep pushing.
"I make content to help y'all out because I know what it feels like to not be helped out".
I'm in a similar situation but I never took that point of view. You're inspiring man.
I really want to help people in that same way. So many people just want someone to hangout with but it’s too hard to go out and find someone u can really connect with. Sometimes u need someone to reach out and give u a real chance and when nobody does u feel alone, I want to give people a real chance.
I'm 26 with no friends lol - I get looked at like if I'm the reason I have no friends when I tell people sometimes lmfao ... like no - some of the people in the world my age mindset's be on toxicity or unloyal levels. and I don't care to waste my time on that or sacrifice my peace for that . I fee you - that's why I'm so heavy on family ❤ stay up 🙌
only way is up ❤️🤝🏾

My story is kinda similar, I'm 22 with no friends, but I had buddies along the way. I never had a girlfriend. I try not to complain because I have parents and siblings but outside of that I have nobody, the last time I had real friends was five to six years ago. I don't get invited to parties or social activities. Sometimes I try to pick up a soccer game but when I leave nobody texts or calls. I used to actually go out of my comfort zone and call people to check on them, but they wouldn't reach out back, so I stopped. It's very hard but I'm trying to lock in and man up. Like my brother said when you work hard and you make it, people will come out of nowhere, I'm starting to see that people are more attracted to things than they are to people a sad reality. I wish there was a way that people can meet coz a lot of people feel this way. Stay Up!!
Damn we live the same life
Hey bro. Keep your head up. Start hobbys you really like, and become friends with the people there. First find the thing you love. I know its hard sometimes, but it really is not bc of you but bc of your surroundings you will get this man
i know for a fact it gonna turn out very well for you in the end like nothing is 4ever not even this pain or loneliness whatever this is it jus not a reality no more Shi is shifting all the times lik have hope for that
keep it pushing bro
here's my saying at the end of the day people care about themselves only so truth be told you're best off finding a distraction my choice was start business and become successful it outweighs other concerns because trying to find value in life through the whims of other random people is just not a good way of valuing yourself that's it
Being alone polishes you. Forces you to look at yourself and not run from the thoughts in ya head. you doin it right g, wishin u the best on ya journey real shit

Same here. No one cares about me. I just have those "school buddies". Them people become ghosts once that bell rings. No one ever asks me out. Shit makes me feel so damn lonely. I just dont understand why no one gives a fuck about me. Im a genuine guy fr. Recently, i ran into this old friend of mine, who plays in my football team. We started going to practice and games together, and i was actually starting to feel like i finally found a real friend. Last week i wanted to walk to practice with him, but when his real friends showed up though, i realised that i was just being his backup the whole time. Bro just left me alone and went with his friends.

I have no friends too man and it’s unfortunate in a time where I really need reassurance and clarity in my life and just a bit of freedom from the life I’m currently suffering in by the family I’m surrounded by, it genuinely sucks. I’m 22 just like you are and I too have left a group of ppl that never reached out to me nor ever included me in anything, it’s like at times I feel like a ghost people can see and hear but I’m never understood in what my heart wants which is just the love and understanding from another person in the world. It really hurts being alone in the world and the people in my circle really don’t even understand or care how truly isolating it feels to be in a position like that. I’m trying to get better but it’s just difficult when all the progress you gotta make an effort to be better in has to be development you make on your own.
Never forget when I lost my friends. Soon as school ended that was it, not a single word ever again.
That's awful you think someone's gonna be there for u and check up on you but then nope. Did u at least check in on the other person?
I used to have a pretty good friend that I was friends with since preschool but he moved away sadly
I had the same, It was hard at first but it made me find actuall friends so maybe one day it will happen to you too if not already!
Be patient and the right people will find you
yup. I learned a lot when that happened.
friends dropped me senior year of highschool. one stuck w me but it almost j feels like pity so ive started pushing him away too. i hope i get out of this soon
Man I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. Girls/relationships boyfriends can also break alot of friendships
Im 22 and i just recently decided to go my own way from my “friends” learning to be alone has been tough man but it has given me more courage and confidence than ever fr , stay up mane ✌️
A lot of us are in the same boat I feel like. I wanted friends, I asked for them and God sent me the wrong crowd. Similar to your story. There's a lot of power in being alone. I feel like being away from the crowd gives a chance to build yourself and create a legacy that most other people wouldn't think to do. It's hard, but nothing great ever came easy. Your vulnerability is inspiring. Keep being you!
Same.... just kinda distanced myself until there was no one left... Kinda miss a friend. Real friend, not school buddy or drinking buddy. A friend. Reach out.
It’s been like this all my life and I feel you it’s so painful to not have no one outside your family to talk too I haven’t had a true friend since 7th grade now I’m about to graduate in 2 months and I’m still trying to make friends one day I will find a true friend that I can trust
you will trust
Accepting being alone, and happy with it is the best feeling. I fuck with nobody but my close fam. My cousins are my friends
I'm 23 just graduated colege. I dont fw nun ah the people from my college or home town anymore. Most "Friends" in school or at work or just going out dudes were never real friends. Last couple months I been locking in with my younger cousins and blood family. Our society says we need to meet all these new people. Your family has always been there, knows your good and bad and it's just easier. It's weird going out to the bars with my cousins I knew since they were kids but its still mad fun and you know they wont just ditch you. Going to hoop will always bring solid dudes too.

23 here, same feeling as you. I was always the one trying to cheer everyone up, make plans and make everybody laugh and have a good time. I planned a lot of cool things to do and I was willing to move the whole earth for my friends, but they wouldn't care shit about me.
I traveled 6 months to work to a far away country and when I came back no one even tried to see me or ask me how it went. I felt like nobody cares about me, everybody is so selfish... I tried talking to them about this topic and I was really straightforward and honest about how it felt.
They showed superficial remorse and excuses and months after the situation is the same.
I have a wonderful girlfriend and I have a good life, but the feeling that no one except my girlfriend actually cares about me is sad...
It's just an awfull feeling knowing that you gave the 100% to people and they just didn't give a shit... this has happened to me on different times in life but now it hurts more looking in retrospective.
I feel like I don't have anyone to talk about my interests, hobbies, or just have a cool time together and I don't want to force myself to "find new friends" because it doesn't feel right.
Real.
i think making friends is gonna be uncomfortable no matter what. if you wanna make friends i think you have to be okay with that
I’m 23 too, and I am a girls not a guy but I don’t have friends too girl friends around me like female friends?? No I don’t have they don’t care abut me the same way I care,they don’t do the things I do so……idk.I have been alone for a long time now like 3 years since I graduated from college and now I think about being in university to further my associate degree to bachelors but I don’t know if I can have friends when I am in university that what bothers me because I am an introvert and all the things I do kinda introverted but I also sometimes can be extroverted around the people I really feel okay but those type of people are less so,I hope I will have okay friends or a boyfriend at least but again idk.So we aren’t alone in this hope gets better for me and for others too I have diabetes actually since I was 5.It is the number one reason why I want to be away from other students and people because they don’t get what diabetes is so I have to explain them this every time but i don’t want to and I can’t I feel like my energy is getting low every time I try to explain or about to explain so I that why I avoid explaining my situation and stay away from the crowd to pay attention to health problems of mine that what I can do at least…. So I think if people who do not have health issues are alone without friends then my case is valid.
which country?
I'm so happy that you are aware of the situation and that YOU care. Often times how people treat you and how they do things are a reflection of THEM not you. Keep trucking. All of us are out here looking for our people, continue to let your light shine and stay on the look out. Friends may not always come from the same age, race, or social group but be open.
I'm 22 as well, it's hard finding decent people. I've always been quite happy being alone, but sometimes it would be nice to share my experiences with someone outside my family. The world is isolating but at least videos like this show how we are not alone in how we feel. I hope everyone reading this finds genuine friends to enjoy their life with.
I felt this message. When I got out of Hughes school I still had lots of friends who we all talk,partied,went outside and chill everyday when I hit 20 and when I stared working own myself and stop doing those things that are not beneficial thays when I knew I was losing friends left and right and even family members. I'm only 24 don't get me wrong I am cool with some of old friends but we don't talk occasionally I've meet new friends everyday I come around they make me feel welcomed. I'm isolated almost all of my life. You start to lost friends when you are bettering yourself nowadays in the 2020s it's hard to find good people without being around toxic people

I feel this, I am a 17 year old who goes everywhere alone at this point because i have literally no friends! I’ve been in this position since i was 13 refusing to smoke, misbehave & hang out outside of school with people i didnt trust. It always felt like i stood out from the rest and it felt like i developed socially slower than my peers. It seems sad but i gave up on finding people my age to hang with and just walk the world alone, I think being alone has helped self-reflect more than anything, I got so much kinder and down to earth spending so much time with myself, It makes me think that if people come across me now they get the best version of me. I hope you’re doing okay and i wish you much happiness 💯
I hope I can follow in ur footsteps bro
I was in a similar position around your age, and I'm currently in that position now that I'm a couple years in college and it'll pay dividends. Don't get me wrong I've got a group I could go to at any moment, but being selective in who you put around you and reflecting on yourself will make you a much deeper human, and eventually you'll find yourself in places where there are people just like that. You just gotta be patient, and keep doing you!
Wish I could think like you I’m also 17 in the same predicament you basically just wrote my life
same except I'm 16, I used to have lots of friends but now none except for online, ima make an effort to stand out and talk to people next year
Im pretty similar but got a few friends they aint into drugs and shit either
Genuinely, thank you bro. I'm 13, in a few weeks, I'm heading to 8th grade with no close friends. I got some ppl in my life who criticise me for being an introverted and closed person but I don't listen, my main focus is myself and myself only. It's complicated tho. When I used to have friends, i felt like I wanted to be alone in life and now it's the exact opposite. I feel blessed that I found someone who can relate to me.
I’m in grade 11 and I feel exactly the same way as you.. I always prioritized quality over quantity when it came to having friends but they recently started drifting away and made new friendships. It kinda hurts cause they changed a lot throughout high school and they aren’t the people I used to love being around. I guess they care more about popularity now but I wish I wasn’t the second choice for once in my life. I am also introverted so I’m fine with being alone but it still sucks
Hey man. Was in your position at that age, had no friends until I was well into my teens. I don't have much wisdom but stick to it, work on yourself, life gets better. Real friends come along.
Bro fuck friends they only bring trouble facts
HEY IM IN 10th grade im so glad I relate to this too. Nobody understands right now because I guess this is an adult thing people go through, but you’re not alone. I promise you’ll find friends who value you and have the same interests and intentions of being genuine. I’m always willing to talk or even become friends because I only have one true friend at school. I have about 3 I can text but I don’t see them at all honestly. I wish you the best.
Welcome to adulthood friend. What you're experiencing is fairly common, where you realize friends you have are just friends of proximity and not of spirit. It feels rough at first, then you find REALLY good friends after that, because you get to know the real you, and THAT'S what people will gravitate towards.
my father warned me of this when i was like 14 years old, he told me few if any of the people i called my friends would stick around. absolutely preposterous i thought, how could he be right and i be wrong. more than 20 years later i'm long past the point where i realized he was right of course. we drifted apart. someone got married. someone died. i just observed it from afar. as you said, i have new friends now and for proximity there's colleagues at work. but when you enter your twenties it's a normal thing to struggle with i guess.
alright but where do you get your real friends from ? bc personnaly i dont like going out ( like party i like to cruise around in the city or chill somewhere but not go out partying ) and like idk where ppl like that are...
I graduated in 2017 and haven't really had a friend since.
No you don’t find good friends after that. You don’t find friends at all.

I always try to make sure I don't follow the wrong people, making friends gets so much harder as life goes on. Many bad people to watch out for in this world.
95% of people in this world at least in North America are just straight up selfish, rude, egoistic, shallow…I currently work parttime at a library where I have to look after little kids and if there’s anybody that deserve my positive energy is these children, just so pure, cute, wholesome and whenever you show em love it’s guaranteed these lil angels are gonna show you love back, unlike most adults who would take your kindness for weakness

I really felt this video. Ive never really had friends, an when I did have "school buddies" i would never be their first choice so when something better came around they would move away from me. At first it was fine by me that they left when I graduated by I'm ngl i feel pretty lonely sometimes, its just so hard to find genuine people that arent your friends cuz its convenient
Thank you man, I'm glad your video found me when it did. I been going through a hard few weeks of considering if my friends are even really my friends. I'll sit with them during break and such but it just never feels like I'm actually there, they'll always be talking to each other while I sit there and just do my own thing, it wasn't like that before but now it is and I been feeling kinda lost.

I have autism and I also have no friends, I’m polite, I have acquaintances that I like to keep in contact with ...but actual connection and friendship is just too exhausting !
In addition to my autism, I’m also introverted . I’ve always found peace with being alone, i can only deal with socializing for brief amount of time.... there’s nothing wrong with enjoying being alone, however if you used to be more sociable and are experiencing negative emotions, or are used to be more social and are withdrawing, then that’s when you know there’s something ls wrong, but if you’ve always been like that, it’s just who you are ❤
I'm 14 with no friends. I sit home every single weekend when I'm not in school. When I get to school, i hang out normally when I'm with my friends. But when that weekend comes, it's just me. Alone in my room. Nobody to talk to, nobody to text, absolutely no one to hang out with and completely restless. All I've ever had is school buddies but when I switch schools it's like I switch friends too... And it's not like I wanted it to be like that. I just don't want to be alone anymore. And I'm jealous of all the other teens my age that get to experience their childhood while im stuck in my dark room. It feels like I'm missing out and I know I'll never get these years back. I feel forgotten. I feel ashamed of myself for not being better.
(Edit)
Thank you so much to everybody for replying and taking their time trying to help me out in these comments like fr I really needed it rn. I felt like I was the only one but now after reading every single reply I don't feel the same anymore and it's such a relief. I'm so grateful for y'all.
Same here man and I'm 20, missed most of everything
Same I got nobody that want to hang with I’m about to be a sophomore 🫤🫤
When I was a kid an adult told me to cherish my time because high school was the best of times. I'm 34 now and I can honestly say that is nonsense. Maybe for some people it was. Maybe they live in their past and for them that was the last time they were happy. But it was a hard lonely time for me.
I wasn't mature enough to find my own inner happiness. It was a struggle just to seem normal and fit in. I think more kids struggled with that than I knew. And that's probably true today.
People put on acts in public to seem normal. The people you think are having the childhood you want may have an entire inner struggle you'll never see.
Not to say your feelings aren't real. But you'll never be happy measuring yourself by what you perceive another person's success to be.
Measure your success by your past self. If you hate being in your dark room every weekend then go outside. Even if it's just for ten minutes. That's a win. Celebrate it. You don't need other people to be happy. Just keep stacking up little wins day by day. Find things that spark little joys. They'll flourish eventually.
It isn't easy. And the struggle never ends. But it does get easier. And you aren't alone in feeling like this. You got this.
It’s a shame really, I’m 18 abt to graduate and I have the exact same story, my advice early before you lose it is to get a productive hobby or get a job. Shit is really hard from the start but it gets better
You don’t have to be stuck in your room, try talking to new people and making an effort to build outside-of-school relationships. You’d be surprised at how people will give you a chance at friendship if you just speak to them about random stuff. It’s sound cliche but, don’t take making friends too serious just have fun with it because you’ll look back years from now and most of it wont matter.
same man i feel you. it's just me everyday sitting in front of the computer doing nothing. Sometimes I go to the gym or just walk, but thats it. you're a brave guy to have confidence to talk about this out loud. i admire you
I'm 29 but look 23 and I haven't had a friend since I was 15..
I don't know why.. when ppl start being nice to me I get confused. I think because I'm "attractive" but I want friends for my personality and not looks.. I'm a Metalhead too. I've been a Metalhead for 16 years.. I'm a chill person, calm and like to play electric guitar and keyboard. I've been playing music for 16 years. I'm a artist, I paint, and draw.. love hiking, I have 5 dogs and like learning physics and playing games once in awhile.

How did they snake you bro?
I am a lucky bastard for being able to say I've always had friends, but I felt this way about so many people. You outgrow them or just don't feel interested in the things they talk about. But man u touched my heart, the way u speak, u have good in u man. Try to keep yourself that way.
been feeling like this lately. im 19 about to turn 20 in september and am coming to the realization that i really have no one to talk to. no one to schedule plans with, no one to go and hang out and explore a restaurant nearby, no one... I see ppl who are my age that go out every weekend and have an established friend group and i feel very much of an outcast. i know God has something in store for me though, as well as he has something in store for you too.
I’m 20 and this is my exact situation. I used to hate it in the past but now I’m at peace with myself because it’s better to be by yourself anyways. And you’re right, God has a special plan for us!
Hi there! God can be your best friend!
Jesus Christ loves you. He is the only way to heaven. He also says "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."
May God bless you! :)

I’m nearly 20 with no friends. Sometimes it’s hard. But then I remember that a lot of people don’t have your best interests in mind. You’re the only one who knows how to make you happy. You’re the only one who knows what you like and how you are. It’s best to be alone than to have friends who hate you

I can relate alot to this, especially the "school buddies" friend feeling. I'm trying to start hobbies to have more to talk about myself so I can have a common interest with other people.

the realest video i’ve seen in awhile. i always felt like i “needed” friends especially when i was in college living on campus but honestly ion think im meant to have friends like everyone else. im fine with being in my own world.
Hello, Im 18, from Spain, and I feel the same way u talking right now. I graduated last year, and the thing was, that I was tryna fit in so hard, that I thought I made people unconfortable. Since this feeling took over last year, I just let everything flow, and now, I feel like all of the conncetions or those buddies you've talked about, have left me alone, and it feels like shi. The feeling with this people at least for me is that we not on the same page. Im grinding, tryna go D1, and all of the people who I've seen around me those years, just want to party, and I just dont like that at all. This video has helped me understanding this unknown feeling I had, but sice Im not alone anymore, I might dont feel the loneliness that has been hand to hand with me whole summer. Thank you for this

Thank you for your honesty. Not enough people talk about this. You will have friends in your future, You are a quality person and you seem to know a lot at your age. So many people don't recognize the "school buddies" are not real fiends. Friends are in your future.
realeast video i think i've ever watched. this resonated with me so hard and im gettin emotional right now im legit going to a concert on my own in a month because i cut off a lot of my friends who seemed to be going down the wrong path and ain't treat me right. outside of school, i realized i aint got any real real friends fr.
that’s how it is but that means your in the top 1%
bro everything you said is exactly me rn, I’ve really learned to embrace that I’m doing things I enjoy and I don’t need a group of people to do it with.
You a real one when you can do stuff alone like that. It’s character and strength building. It’s also good you don’t sacrifice your morals for the actions of others.
I get this. I had a new set of "school buddies" every year in high school, alongside the few remaining ones from the previous year. But I don't think I would've ever called them my "friends" cause we never really talked outside of school. Even now, I just have people I talk to at work that I'd never call friends. On the surface it seems sad, but I don't think it's bad to not actively seek out friends if you are making an effort to improve yourself. I spent almost the entirety of my 20s being aimless, yet I think I have finally found a goal to work toward. I think that as long as I make the effort to improve myself and work toward my newfound goals, I can handle not having many true friends; and eventually maybe even that will change.
Loneliness doesnt always mean that you dont have anyone, sometimes it means no one has you. I been strugglin with this and you're speaking my mind bro

Thank you so much for sharing! You are growing up and setting boundaries, this is a part of growing up.

Greetings from Poland. Same here, no friends, real friends. Since I was around 25 I guess. Now I'm 38 and I have my girl and my cat, that's it. My "pack of friends" dissapeared thruout all those years, different view on life, different hobbies. That's sad side of life.
You talking about “school buddies” is very relatable I graduated in may of last year and started college in January and am having a hard time even talking to other people besides my roommates occasionally
Just focus on your studies and on the gym, improve yourself and others will see not the hardwork but the person you are

I was recently betrayed by family and friends, which left me all alone, but I have learned to accept it. If you're feeling lonely, you are not alone. You still have us on UA-cam.
Man this is so real. Throughout high school I was always the type that could easily get along with others but kept more to myself because I didn’t have the same interests as most people and it led me to try and fit in. After high school I started my own business and drifted with all of them completely because they don’t have to same interests and goals. On top of it all I don’t like speaking to new people, I stay close to those I really fw so finding new people is almost impossible
6:44 is so real to me I know the exact feeling. That feeling of everyone else celebrating being with their friends, and then you just have you walking alone no one at your side or back and just feeling hollow. Like everyone around you is happy, but you feel nothing.
I'm 19 almost 20 and I've had a similar experience. I had at one time a really close friend group. I don't choose friends lightly they were the best almost like a 2nd family to me. That all changed when I moved in 7th grade. That turning point in my life set me down a sort of spiral into a rut in life with some depression. It started out routine we talked on text until the group chat slowly died out. Wanting to stay connected I reached out and was invited into a new group chat in discord. From there I would be invited to parties and such and we were still close, but As i kept visiting christmas party after birthday I noticed my best friends slip away towards their classmate friends. I was being discarded. I tried to fit in, but as I kept trying to join the group they would distance themselves socially from me. I felt I was invited out of pity and nostalgia rather than being a genuine friend. Then the last straw for me was a last day of summer pool party before college. I jumped in and invited people in with me, but no one joined in except for an underclassmen who I hated (he was dating my crush and was a real narcissist) and joined in just to outswim me in a race (I won tho cuz of lessons I took recently >:) ). But, no one even spoke or acknowledged me at the party. I was like a stage hand in the friendship while they were all the actors on set it was the most painful and gut punching feeling I've ever experienced. From then on I cut ties, went to College and have only one friend who also cut ties due to personal reasons left who is distant with me slightly. I have made small friendships in class, but they die out just as fast as I form them (STEM campus so people tend to keep to themselves). Now I have no real friends to be with at college since my friend dropped out also due to personal reasons at home. And I go through the motions of going to class, but have no one to experience it with. I found pleasures in the small stuff the beautiful nature around campus, the fun games that have been coming out lately, bonding with my close family, watching anime, but when I'm alone I feel like a Phone that's wasting charge. I have time to spend with others, but no other's to share it with.
Man this actually made me cry bro, so relatable for me.
This really hit me on a personal level, Thank you for making this
