Oh for the whole group you should react to these bunch of small interviews.. they're really engaging and comfortable here so there's lots for you to see
ua-cam.com/play/PLxYYzgfeFwhLonlZLH4wwiA8BSwJu1gWL.html
(You can see each of their bonds in these)
Along with this live interview
ua-cam.com/video/_7biiwrmaIA/v-deo.html
could you maybe react to Louis Fan vs Artist it really shows Louis' interaction and relationship with his fans
ua-cam.com/video/zJoLP7MCm28/v-deo.html
or his interview with glamour
ua-cam.com/video/RltxmrJc-_s/v-deo.html
For Louis you should definitely check out his Interview with Total Access

Or Fan Vs Artist Trivia
And there's this shorter interview that you can maybe combine with either of the above

And if you want to see more Zayn and Louis then I think you will have to react to a compilation of moments rather than a single interview
ua-cam.com/video/hKNXbUIycD8/v-deo.html
This one has the most interview moments/verbal interactions
Please react to some Zayn and Harry interactions. That would be interesting to see.
When the band was together Louis and Zayn were arguably the closest out of all of them. Louis seemed like a huge comfort to Zayn at a time when he really needed it, probably because he knew his boundaries and knew when to give him space. I'd say thats why their dynamic appears more reserved than others in the band, cause they don't feel the need to force anything.
Exactly! English isn’t my first language so I find it hard to put THAT into words, but you put it perfectly.
Right. Rip bus1 :(
THIS!
The only extremely close bonds I sense Is Louis and Zayn, and Harry and Niall.
During the start of one direction, Harry and Louis were obviously the closest. But everyone kept sexualizing and shipping them, so I 100% believe that they drifted apart because of that. My favorite friendship will have to be Harry and Niall. I feel like Harry laughs and smiles the most when he's around Niall, and I feel like Niall isn't afraid to be himself around Harry. All you can literally see is pure joy on Harry's face when he's around Niall. They seem to like each other the most from the rest of the group. Both of them seem the most comfortable together as well. Niall gravitates towards Harry and intentionally tries to make him smile or laugh. They both seem more playful, positive, laid back, and free when around each other. I could always sense that Harry and Niall would always hide apart of their true selves but all that shows when they are around each other. There is so much I can say about these two lmao.
One direction also had bad management and went through alot together, but all of them were obviously dealing with their personal struggles. Harry would often get sexualized at a young age and especially after he grew up-He was seen as a improper womanizer who loved sleeping around with older women. His management obviously gave everyone in the group certain personality traits or “roles". Harry was assigned as the flirtatious heart-throb and womanizer, which means he really wasn't supposed to be the jokey one. You could tell when Harry was really young in One Direction, he would barely laugh and often attempted to keep a stone face. He seemed distant from the group when he was younger, and during those years he also had extreme stage fright and often aggressively shaked on stage. I'm not saying that Harry never laughed, but it seemed like when he's not around Niall, he tries to keep a natural serious demeanor...Besides Liam, Harry seems like the most sensible and serious one in the group...I would even consider him more sensible and more serious then Liam to a certain extent. My point is, Harry completely changes around Niall and Niall completely changes around him.
@@Rose-h7q3s that's not it at all cause Louis/Harry were doing rbb/sbb shenanigans together about gay icons and louis has denied that they were enemies lmao just cause modest really drove that narrative through til the end
them being the exact opposite with the same energy is honestly friendship goals
i forgot to add this after watching the entire video, so.
zayn and louis were unarguably the closest in the band, the boys have said it themselves several times and we fans have caught on to it pretty early on as well. they were literally partners in crime and seemed to spend time with each other the most during behind the scenes etc and they maintained that tight-knit friendship from the fetus days until when zayn left the band. like everyone said, this interview wasn't a fair comparison since in these, louis was trying to give more attention to niall & liam, since they were out of it for some reason, (you could see how zayn wasn't affected by it at all like he normally would cause louis doesn't find the need to particularly focus on zayn to connect with him and that's how tight their bond is) and zayn was in a more comfortable self (which he always seemed to be whenever he's situated close to louis)
i really hope you'd react to more zouis videos, they're honestly my favourite duo of all time :)
@@91fallings they were not the closest, they don’t talk through concerts, they have fun like all of them do but I don’t agree with you. As Zayn’s fan I felt like they were not that close, I liked Zayn’s and Harry’s friendship
@@Alexandra-jf4hj Zayn was 100% closest with Louis. From the very start all the way until he left the band. On the Jonathan Ross show, Louis himself said that he was the closest with Zayn (this was after he left the band) and the other boys agreed. They had a tight bond and were partners in crime. They did talk a lot during concerts. Zayn was close with all the boys in different ways, but he had a special bond with Louis that you don’t see with the others. Louis seemed to be the person Zayn would seek out for comfort.
@@mackenzie2219 I don’t feel like that. I always saw Zayn and Harry talking on stage with each other and in interviews Harry heard Zayn and they were a lot together also on stage Harry left a space for Zayn to sit, and Louis, Liam and Niall were having their own fun apart from Zayn and Harry. My favorite is Zayn and I always look at him, maybe you don’t but I do and I felt like they never paid attention to Zayn, I mean yes when they were little he had some attention from the others but I didn’t felt that way after they grew up. I don’t remember Zayn and Louis spending time together.
@@Alexandra-jf4hj I mean I guess it’s all open to interpretation, but look at all of the other comments on this video. The majority of them are saying that Zayn and Louis were the closest. All of the boys have even said it themselves 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve always gravitated towards Louis so I pay the most attention to his relationship with each boy. Him and Zayn spent a lot of time together when the cameras weren’t on them.
Zayn's interactions with the band during interviews changed so much through the years, 2011 and 2012 when he was confident, you could see the others being pulled towards him like a magnet, Liam and Niall had an obvious admiration for him, Louis was his equal in mischievousness, Harry admired him and I think was even a bit envious of him (especially in 2011) but not in a mean way, but in a I want to be more like him type of way which was normal as he was the youngest. Zayn was a trend setter in the band, first to get tattoos, first to wear more jewellery, all the others followed. Even the boys said in a interview Zayn was the most stylish. Would love to see your analysis of interviews from 2012 and what your take is. Thank you for this reaction!
They also said he smells the best😁😁
Harry was the most loved and crushed on though, which is understandable. He was literally first labeled as a heart throb and sex figure as a teenager. People seemed to pay attention to Harry the most, but imagine how uncomfortable that must've been for Harry though. I'm not sure where I got this source because I read this years ago and I forgot, but I believe that Zayn said “Liam was like the dad of the group, but I think Harry was the most sensible one.” and “Harry got the most attention from the females." it's something like that. Those things probably weren't EXACTLY what he said but it sounds familiar. *So PLEASE do NOT take my word on this* lmao. I most likely read it online but didn't really pay attention to it. My mind is kind of blank right now.
Besides Liam, Harry did seem like the more professional and sensible one even though people know him for acting like a goofball. Him and Zayn always seem like the most serious ones-This statement might sound like dumb shit but it can make sense if you think about it. Liam will always be the dad of the group though, I just see Harry as someone who has a playful side to him...But is sensible and professional. There are plenty of clips where his band mates are acting like crack heads while he's being completely calm. There are moments during interviews where his band mates are acting like idiots but he pays respect to the interviewer and actually pays attention and continue on with the interview. There are moments on where he's ignoring his loud and playful bandmates during interviews and actually tries to pay attention. *He seems like the one who tries to pay attention or focus, is my main point.*
@@Rose-h7q3s
I don't know about interviews but in other places Zayn and Louis' dynamic is shown a lot more. Louis was the one that brought zayn out of his shell and they were practically partners in crime.
Zayn has said he was supposed to be the mysterious one while he wasn't always like that and he wanted to engage more, and that is seen in interviews more rather than other moments.
The best way to describe Zayn and Louis relationship is "Frenemy". Louis kept Zayn close in order to keep Harry closw, (Harry stuck to Zayn like glue starting in late 2011 and moved away from Louis)
I think that introverts like Zayn will allow the "burden" of the interaction with strangers to fall mostly on their extrovert friends like Louis who will gladly take the responsibility of having to engage outside of their comfort zone on themselves, so that the introvert doesn't feel as much pressure and can feel more comfortable. I know this from personal experience, that if I'm meeting new people and I'm with my friend who's an extrovert, sometimes I'll let them do most of the talking and jump in when I'm feeling up to it and I'm glad to have them there because they know not to put me on the spot, like Louis knew not to put Zayn on the spot and bring attention to him if he didn't want it or was feeling anxious, because they knew each other really well. Louis and Zayn were so close behind the scenes and even said in an interview that they would always talk to each other about their problems and support each other through tough times, and were each other's go-to when they wanted to have fun and get up to some mischief.
But the introvert also doesn't like to ignored.. wants to be heard when they make 1 or 2 sentences too.. Can't dismiss everything as introvert trait
don't confuse introvert with anti social sis
@@user-qp9sj4gw1u people seem to mistake being an introvert with being anti social. Introverts are social creatures but need alone time to recharge. anti social people are anti social.
Interesting that Louis is in the middle for both interviews. Good balance having the stronger personality situated there.
Yes. Hi mom
@@maxpbeaumont ❤️
I do not know your mom, but She had the mom's Eye for the situation... She HAS seen the man in the middle. He Is there to protect . Big Brother style
I cant deal with Maxs face @ 1:35 😂 he looked so suprised to hear zayn speak. We do that too. When it's Zayns time to talk its time to shut up and higher the volume.
hahah you caught that huh....
in the first interview, there's a possibility that niall was upset or worried about something and louis was trying to get him to lighten up or engage him in the conversation too. that is just how louis works and zayn knows about it. louis and zayn's friendship is beautiful though!
Yeah, I have that feeling too. Like, Louis was more focused on engaging Niall because, maybe, something was worrying or upset him (Niall) beforehand and Louis wanted him to not get too into his (Niall) head. Zayn respected that and was giving them space and time for Niall to feel better
Yeah you see Niall fidgeting and looking down/not smiling a lot, which makes it seem like something happened before the interview that made him either upset or anxious. It looks like Louis kept on looking at Niall to make sure he was okay and trying to add him to the conversation to get his spirits up. Also Louis knows that Zayn doesn’t like to be put on the spot so he is not interacting with him as much so Zayn would be able to answer the questions he wants to
As an introvert person i think Zayn is just more comfortable when he's in the less crowded place hanging out with two of his friends instead of four of them and that really makes sense to me.
I would be really grateful if you make a video with only Zayn and Liam bcz they really had a amazing chemistry.
Thank you! Everyone has been talking about who Zayn was closest to and no one is bringing up Liam, even though it was so clear that they were superrr close!
I feel like the fact that these interviews have more people than just Louis and Zayn makes it more difficult to analyze their dynamic cause EVERYONE wants Louis’ attention, and Louis is just one person who’s trying to keep everyone involved (Niall and Liam more so than Zayn here cause Zayn seemed to be alright and enjoying himself just the way he is, while Niall seemed sad and Liam looked out of it, and Louis wants everyone to enjoy themselves so he focused more on them)
Agreed -- I couldn't find any interviews with just the two of them though :(
@@maxpbeaumont Yeah yeah I understand! I’m not even sure if there are interviews of just the two of them. I meant more like compilations and behind the scenes stuff, though I’m not sure if you would analyze those (I think you only analyze interviews, but correct me if I’m wrong).
You’re fine though, I still enjoy your reactions and hearing what you have to say, even if I don’t agree sometimes (which is normal cause I know a lot of backstory that you can’t possibly know if you’re not part of the fandom).
Partners in crime. I love their friendship so much and I miss them loads. I hope they solve whatever they have going on someday, I'm pretty sure they miss each other as well T_T
Thanks for the reaction!
My pleasure!
Listen, if Louis is in my space to pay attention to me, I don’t need room to breathe. Who needs oxygen when you have Louis Tomlinson?
Thank you for doing all these videos, they're really fun to watch!
Hahaha
My pleasure -- glad you enjoyed them!
I feel ya Angel! 💙
Man I like the way you appreciate Zayn your truly amazing 🙏❤️
I mean finally! right?! instead of dominant narrative that all 1D boys were close to zayn and he was the one who ended their friendships, he aknowleges zayn's efforts to b there w these guys and he likes them, cares about them and he doesn't recieves what he gives
@@malihemalihe624 exactly! But I feel like him and Harry had a friendship
@@Alexandra-jf4hj oh boy you won't believe that i think he and harry had more than friendship😉
@@malihemalihe624 😅 I don’t cuz I don’t want to be disrespectful and it’s pretty clear Zayn is into girls.
@@Alexandra-jf4hj ok, all good here😜😁
in the first interview I think Niall was feeling a bit sad, kinda, cuz he usually is always laughing especially when Louis does something but in that interview he's just smiling, also Zayn and Louis I think they are more on the behind the scenes kinda friends, Louis said that in interviews he would always make fun of Niall cause he was always down for a good laugh, and I think he doesn't interact with Zayn that much in interviews because he obviously knows what Zayn is dealing with and I genuinely think he doesn't know how to interact with him, like Louis' thing is joking and like that joking might make Zayn uncomfortable ? But the boys always say that Louis and Zayn had the closest relationship in the band, and as they refer to themselves "partner in crime", so yeah don't let Zayn kinda fool you, he's mischievous too, but kinda behind the scenes while Louis is just always mischievous
i think you're actually spot on about Zayn not having that much input in the band's decision making because he did say that having no creative control was one of the major reasons why he left
God hearing you talk about Zayn wanting to involve himself in the group and in the conversations but not knowing how and when to and struggling with it breaks my heart. I really know what it’s like, there’s not many celebrities that I can relate to in that aspect. Its so hard when your with people and you want to join in so bad and you can see they’re having fun but you just don’t know what to say and when to say it and then you don’t know if they’ll even listen when you do because there’s been so many times when they haven’t so you become more self conscious about talking. And then no one really knows the real you and your personality. because behind closed doors and around people you’re very comfortable with you can be so relaxed and funny but if you’re like me most days you can just wake up and just feel so anxious and you don’t know why and you can’t function like a normal human being no matter how much you want to. Some days can be easier but it really is a rollercoaster, it never fully goes away. I can’t imagine how much your anxiety would be amplified when your famous and in the most famous band at that time! It’s difficult to understand though so I get why other people would think he’s quiet or uninterested so they don’t see any point in talking to him but please if you have anxious friends don’t give up on them! Our minds are going at a millions miles per minute and we’re trying. Even if 95% of the time you don’t get a reaction out of us there could be a moment when we’re feeling confident to talk and when people don’t talk to us because they have been conditioned to not involving us it, to us feels like it’s verifying what we were already previously thinking that no one cares and no ones listening and we go back into our shell 🙃
Anyway sorry for going on a tangent but I just wanted to get across that I completely sympathise with zayn and understand him. I love all the boys and I think their relationships with one another is sweet. I do think that zayn and Louis were close (they’re not on good terms anymore 🥲), but I think it’s kind of harder to pick up in interview settings because that’s probably when zayn isn’t being his usual self.
By the way I love your videos Max, it genuinely makes my day when I see that you’ve uploaded ❤️
God, I can relate to this soooo much
Wow. Taya. Thank you for sharing that :) I'm happy that I got to hear your perspective on anxiety and how it impacts you socially. It sucks that it has to be so hard, but I'm glad it sounds like you can be yourself/carefree around the people who are really close to you :)
omg i feel you totally
This made me tear up, that was spot on. :(
And I feel for Zayn too, it must have been harder and harder for him to feel included especially as time went on.
this is exactly how i feel. it’s horrible
in conclusion: every member of one direction is in love with louis and wants his attention (same)
I feel like the only one who fully paid attention to Zayn was Harry, maybe because of his natural tendency to really focus on the person he's talking with. Beautiful analysis! I hope you'll react to more videos of them :)
Agree but I think Harry and Zayn had an emotional connection too, like I feel like Harry felt bad when things like that happened to Zayn and Zayn when people talked bad about Harry. And they had a strong relationship on stage.
Totally agree👌🏻
There were many interviews (after Zayn left) where Harry would try to say something and the other 3 would talk over him. Mostly Liam and Louis.
@@gf-pic5813 there were many times harry wouldn’t even let liam talk and harry already got the most questions asked so I don’t know what you’re trying to say💀💀
@@random.uzer111 I'm not TRYING to say anything. I said exactly what I meant to say. 😒
We need more One Direction analysis ✨
I feel like interviews aren’t the best way to analyze their dynamic. It’s too professional for both of them. With zouis, it’s best when you react to compilations, because these show their true bond whenever they’re not in a professional setting.
Like here in the interviews, Zayn and Louis understand each other, they interact whenever it feels right, but it’s not as representative of who they are off camera/when they’re alone.
That's fair -- is there a good compilation that you'd recommend?
@@maxpbeaumont tbh I love all the zouis compilations, though I’ll link you some if it helps!

@@maxpbeaumont ua-cam.com/video/4u37F2i70IM/v-deo.html is also a good one
Zayn and Liam deserve more attention
Max, what is probably not known publicly during the times of these interviews, is that Zayn was going through an eating Disorder. And there was actually a lot of inner struggles in the band. Zayn had wanted to go on a break and that second interview, especially was done within days of Harry and Zayn asking the other guys to go on a hiatus. They were turned down. And there was a lot of distance between Liam, Niall, Louis...who had said no...and Harry and Zayn.
So you got it right. There was a lot of things going on between them at this time, differently from momentsnin the past.
How do you know all this?
@@angiesalazar8216 There was a lot of heard it from her who heard it from her in there.
Niall looks as if not himself, that may be why Louis giving him more attention. We all have off days or ones where a little too tired to be ourselves.
Zayn and Louis were actually the closest in the band, partners in crime.
I feel like Liam and Louis have a very strong friendship cuz they started out really disliking each other and ended up influencing the other (Liam was very uptight and Louis was immature and very unworried)
Zayn and Louis were definitely the closest in the band. Come on, they called each other brothers, went on holidays together and promised to be on each other's weddings. That's why I feel like Zayn's betrayal hit Louis way too much. But it doesn't even matter what I feel. Louis even in 2021 being openly irritated about their fight in interviews when we all know that Louis doesn't like to talk about personal things publicly tells you everything. He was hurt by him and after that never tried to establish that kind of bond they had with no one else in the band.
This video was NECESSARY😭i miss ZOUIS sm how it ended got me sobbing🤧🤧
In the first interview as soon as it started..I felt like Niall was off abt something..and Zayn and Louis knew abt it...and I feel like Louis is the kinda guy who makes sure no one is off abt anything...and that is why he is more gravitating towards him...and seeing Zayn(and all the boys) happy and interacting more(especially Zayn)..makes me happy..not bcz he's forced to but bcz he's comfy....
Yeah exactly! Louis gravitating towards Niall because Niall looked off doesn’t equal Louis ignoring Zayn. Idk why some people took it that way tbh. Zayn looked comfortable and happy, and he was talking more than usual, so he didn’t really need coaxing from Louis like Niall did.
Max I would like you to please analyze the dynamic between Zayn and Harry. Just watch the one direction interviews and analyze their body language . I believe Zayn and Harry were closest in the band. I'm one of your biggest fans and I would like you to please do this for us.
You should react to their “this is us” interviews (the ones with the white background). It’s also split into 2 groups. Harry and Niall. Zayn, Louis and Liam.
React on zayn and Liam. Zayn was the most comfortable around Liam, he also said in an interview that he was closest to Liam and still have contact with him.
Reaction to the interactions of Zayn and Liam
I chocked on air when I saw the notification
Do Zayn and Harry next
In conclusion: everyone loves Louis hahahaha
Zayn and Liam please, they're so underrated
looks like Niall was having a hard day and Louis was caring for him
actually love seeing your zayn reactions they're so interesting
Zayn and Liam 🙌
you gotta react to zayn and harry together!! they’re dynamic is definitely special to me, as you’ve said they’re both really engaged ppl/listeners so it would be interesting to see your take on their dynamic together
Louis next to Liam=Chaotic interview
Zayn next to Liam= Talkative Zayn
that's an interesting vision here because ive always seen louis, liam and zayn being a trio and in the same vibe but id say liam is the "left out" when zayn and louis joke around
What you say is flirtatious from Louis, that's something he does when he's paying extra attention to one of them, and that's usually when one of them is tired or seems down, etc., like that's his way of trying to keep them there, to check on them without being touchy-feely about it, but still making sure they're seen. He's always done that, and it's usually always as a protectiveness over the other guys. And like you said, Zayn is more present than most interviews, he's more comfortable, so Louis doesn't need to entice him out of his shell or make sure he's not forgotten or left out so much, whereas Niall does seem quiet and a bit down here, hence why Louis' directing it to him; he's always loved to make Niall laugh, so that's his way of showing affection. Plus, Zayn does have more personal boundaries than the others, always has, and Louis' always respected people's limits, even if he's never given credit for being aware or caring in that regard.
Zayn never liked attention on him, so again Louis respected that; he pays him attention, but knows he doesn't want a spotlight on him. And he never actively seemed to want to be too involved in making decisions whenever there was an opening for them to make decisions. Also, whenever on flights and things, Louis and Zayn would fly together and then the other three in a separate plane, for whatever controlling reason, they were kept separate, so Louis is probably making the most of being around the others, too, because when there's not a camera on them for something professional and they're letting loose, you see how close the two of them actually are.
I don't think they were as close as fans want them to be. They we're friendly and had things in common (like smoking), but that's it imo
Zayn and Liam actually were so underrated while Zayn said that he knows all songs from Liam's playlist in particular order, just imagine how close they were.
Even though Zayn and Louis always were close I think they had a closer bond in the early days.
Please look into Harry and Zayn because they were actually much closer than a lot of people think. You could definitely see how much Zayn leaving the band impacted Harry.
Zayn and Liam were the closest too
@@nataliefreedom6865 I don’t agree at all😐
I really feel like they had an emotional connection too, like they felt bad for each other when someone didn’t treat the other right, like Harry always talked to Zayn and Zayn felt confortable around Harry, like they touch felt something natural, but with the others Zayn didn’t really had that, I always felt like they didn’t care that much about him.
@@Alexandra-jf4hj i agree I feel like the other boys besides Harry didn't really care about Zayn
Very interesting. See, I never saw it as the other boys didn't pay attention to Zayn in these interviews. But you could be right. Zayn seems happy and engaging and not mad or anything so I don't think he felt overlooked or anything like that. In the first interview I felt Niall was not his usual self and Louis trying to engage him because of that. In the second I don't see anything other than them bantering as usual but mostly with the interviewer. Louis is definitely more tuned into Niall and Liam though. The latter interview has a better vibe but that could be because the first one was a full day kind of setting with one interviewer being replaced by a new one for a long while and they were more tired there.
The thing is they were marketed as these normal boys that became like best friends and their roles in the band enhanced that image. It's why they often acted as they did. They played roles and they played them well. That's not to say those roles were fake but it wasn't all they were. When it comes to friendships you can be friends and not be close. They seemed like such close friends during the early years and once you've seen those bonds it's hard to shake off that image. But naturally their friendships changed over the years and who ever they were closest to changed all the time. In the beginning they turned to each other because this was a new exciting thing they all shared and it was them against everything else. As a Louis fan I felt Louis was closest to Harry and Zayn in the beginning and then it changed to Niall and Liam.
As they grew and developed their own individual interests they also grew apart (as is natural) and perhaps no longer had that much in common. By 2014 I doubt any of them were very close. Still friends but more colleagues. From what I saw in 2014, Zayn and Louis spent the most time together on tour outside work, what with them both rather staying on the bus together and having their "smoke breaks". Louis and Liam worked the most together writing songs for the band and probably developed their friendship through that.
Like zouis had a gr8 friendship..probably the best too...but you should look into zayn and harry as well. There dynamic is interesting too
The guys pay least attention to the ones they are most friends with in the interviews, like you mentioned Harry and Niall might be not that close and they were the closest in the band, the same with Louis and Zayn, especially at the time of the first interview in this vid. I make this assumption simply based on the fact that they hung up together outside the band activities the most. It feels like they know they need to maintain engaging atmosphere during interviews and they don't have to make any extra efforts towards those they know the best, so they just make sure the others are engaged and comfortable.
By "they" I mean Louis and Harry because they seem to be 2 leaders in the band, that's why they're usually split in the interviews like this, otherwise it may not work out. Liam is a leader too but I feel like he's been overshadowed by the guys leadership skills (another aspect he was overshadowed by tbh) and he definitely doesn't accept Harry's leadership, Louis is his guy if he can't be the leader himself. It makes Liam and Harry act as actual brothers, frustrated at each other but still loving.
They seem to fall apart after the band took a pause but recently they have communicated quite a few times ,according to Liam, so it means they can keep that bond without having to always be near each other. I like their unlikely friendship) You should check Liam and Harry dynamic some time too))
Love ur videos. You should see their video diaries it really shows their true personalities and dynamic. It’s not as professional like an interview. Louis really shines there lol
I definitely agree with what you said about humor not really being at the forefront of an introverts mind. I am an introvert and love to make people laugh, however, if it is a stranger or someone I don't know as well it is hard for me to say something funny or engaging. I have a lot of social anxiety, and just today I was walking my dogs and an older man that was walking past me said a joke about me having two dogs, and I thought it was funny, but my response was really simple because I felt uncomfortable speaking. After that I felt dumb and like I could have said something more.
yup!! i feel this so much. when you're around unfamiliar people it's almost impossible to function normally. its like a switch goes off and alarm bells are signalling in my mind, and all i can focus on is how i look/what im saying and how to not fuck the interaction up. i worry so much that i stumble and ruin everything sometimes. i avoid people who i think i'd love to be friends with or who i want to talk to because i dont want to make a fool of myelf and sweat through my clothes. but then i worry that people think im rude or unapproachable/unfriendly. you miss out on a lot of fulfilment i think that everyday interactions can give people, even if you do have your closest friends. it also makes mundane, everyday tasks a living nightmare.
i wish people could understand social anxiety and how it affects people more. when speaking to someone with social anxiety, even if they're with their other friends, it's often the worst portrayal of who they really are underneath the disorder.
thats my personal experience with it :(
@@louvelvet yes totally! Friends would ask if I wanted to hang out and I would come up with some excuse because it just sounded like too much work or I didn't want to go out in public. It lead to me pushing a lot of people away. I agree with what you said about wishing more people understood it, instead of getting annoyed or thinking that we are just rude and have no personality. Sending love 💙
The thing about Louis and Niall is that they always had a great banter between them and they still do. Whether it was in interviews or just hanging out or even they were on stage, they were like 2 little kids, the type of friends that tend to tease and make fun of each other and annoy each other and then just laugh it all out. In fact, they've even said this in their later interviews after they went solo, "when you look at old interviews of us, you'd always see me and Louis in the corner laughing" ~ Niall...which is true!! And the fact that whatever Louis did would always make Niall laugh a lot so he enjoyed doing it on purpose, just to get out a laugh from Niall! Their friendship is definitely underrated, maybe some day you should react to their friendship, you'd really like it!
I feel like Louis knows that Zayn gets super uncomfortable when the attention is on him, so he tries not to do that too much. As someone who gets anxiety in social situations myself, I can imagine that he tries to keep the attention off of himself as much as possible and Louis knows that so he tries to help him out.
OMG when you said Liam loves Louis yeah I mean Liam really loves him more than anyone
Still waiting for Zayn and Harry
If you really want to analyse how zayn is when he is comfortable with people , you should see videos of zarry moments!
Zayn with harry styles is a completely different guy! He was soo soo comfortable, enjoyable, flirty, confident with him.
I would really appreciate it if you could make a video about them considering zayn malik once said “they never really talked” when clearly they had a very special bond
Plus i also remember you mentioning the first time you saw Zayn interacting with harry, you commented “ Zayn loves Harry!”
So I honestly think you’re gonna have a lot of content to comment on😂
Also max, i just discovered your channel through one direction reactions and you have a pretty professional and smart way about examining things! Great videos👍🏻
Zayn is so underrated 😍
at the start of their time as a band zayn was way more talkative and outgoing like he’d always be making jokes and speaking up and stuff but later on because of his anxiety and also because of the fact that the management was making him pretend to be this mysterious bad boy type of person which he really wasn’t, he then became way way more quiet and reserved. if you react to their older interviews or content in general i think you’d actually be surprised how different he was.
Could you please react to Liam and Zayn communication?? I feel like Liam was the one Zayn felt most comfortable being around. They have great dynamics and chemistry as well
I feel like Harry was
Thank you! No one mentions this but they were super close and it was so obvious!
I could listen to you compliment/talk about Louis all day long haha maybe that’s why I’ve watched every video on queue now haha.😅
Very late to these comments, but as someone who obsessed over zayn and louis friendship i’ve always noticed that louis understands his boundaries and never oushes him out of his comfort zone and just allows him to go at his own pace. z there’s also one interview that when zayn tries to speak but the interviewer goes “harry’s speaking” in a horriblksh tone, and zayn apologises, louis defends him. i assume he tries to involve zayn but only when zayn wants to, hence understanding the boundaries and introvert personality of zayn. Louis understands them all individually and is ‘playful’ on different levels with each one of them.
Can you do Zayn and Harry next
I see what you are saying with Louis and Zayn, I hadn’t really noticed that too much. I feel like Harry and ZAYN had a good dynamic, because Harry is naturally trying to be present with who he is with, so he paying good attention to Zayn. I feel like I’m some of the interviews with all the boys, Zayn might mutter something and Harry will be listening and will speak up for Zayn.
Zayn and louis are very diferent but at the same time they just kinda give me the same vibe or energy
they are just so fun and adorable
I think you made a very good point about Zayn wanting to engage with the guys in interviews. Even the most introverted people still like interacting and being around close friends, interviews were always just a different dynamic than what we saw behind the scenes because Zayn was less comfortable, I suppose.
You need to react to louis and harry’s friendship as well
If you want to be amused, check out Liam and Louis' 2015 interview for ITV, and confirm Louis' get in your face type of flirting.
Great analysis. I'd like to point out that these videos are from 2014. It's important for 2 reasons:
First, it's the year Zayn developped an eating disorder and all of his songs for the album "Four" were rejected.
Second reason, by that time, Zayn and Harry grew closer. Starting from late 2012, 1D was "divided" into Harry/Zayn on one side and Louis/Liam on the other. And Niall stayed in neutral territory. They were all friendly with each other but when you look at concerts and backstage footage from that era, 80% of the time Zayn and Harry would gravitate towards each other and stand next to each other. Liam and Louis did the same thing too.
Zayn actually said that Liam was the closest one to him, as well as Louis.
Zayn and Liam were always really close in 1D. From the start to when Zayn left, you can see how close they were
I've seen Zayn and Louis friendship in other videos so I'm assuming here he's just giving Zayn his space to speak up whenever he wants, while keeping the interview going by engaging with the other people.
As an introvert, I can feel where Zayn is coming from, wanting to quip and joke but not sure if the others will engage, so you end up mumbling. And also simply preferring to observe the others dynamics without envying the attention they are getting.
I am not a directioner but the 1st time i watched all these interviews i felt very bad for zayn they literally never gave him attention or gave him opportunity to speak in our group of friends we have an introvert friend n v knew that she will never speak unless given chance to speak n v always tried to include her in our conversations n she was most intelligent n smart amongst us. So those people in comment section who are saying aww they r giving him space n blah blah n defending their disgusting behaviour is bullshit. It's very apparent that zayn was trying to engage them n trying to speak but they were ignoring him to shut him up. He left for all the right reasons u can't stand in such a toxic environment. When no one is there to support you. No wonder when he left Louis was the 1st 1 to talk shit about him n now liam. N people say harry supported him well i have never ever seen harry supporting him in media. Then what kind of support is that? People talk about zouis alot but honestly i have never seen a proper bond between them to me it seemed like a forced friendship. Well i can write so much but will stop for now.
can you please please do a zarry video 🥺 i really wanna kmow what you think abt them as an expert pls maaaaax
One day you should check THAT iconic Liam and Louis interview 😏
Thank you, Max!
Throughout the band years they all had certain times were they seemed more close with certain people in the beginning it was more 2010 - 2012 ( Louis + Zayn) ( harry + Louis) (Zayn + Liam) (Niall + everyone) then 2013 -2015 it was more ( Niall + everyone) but mostly Liam and Louis in the early time of this period ( Zayn + harry) (Louis +Liam )it was like they were always split into a 3 group or 2 group on stage but that’s what it seemed like to me then after Zayn left it was more so (Liam + Louis) and (Niall + harry) even they all seemed to be closer
i dont know if you'll see this but you should know that zayn felt very alienated in 1d, he has talked about it many times after he left. he was the only poc member of the group and was treated differently because of it. he had many mental problems while being in the group and towards the end he had an ed, this is why he is more quiet towards the end and engages less. if you want to know more about zayn you should check out an interview that is from after he left, because he has more freedom to be himself instead of pretending in front of the cameras. zayn is a very interesting person but he is also a very private person but his solo interviews are really refreshing seeing him being able to express himself better. also i love your stray kids reactions !!!
Max, you should interpret some of the behind the scenes for the music videos or the videos themselves. Zayn looks like he is having so much fun in them, especially Live While We’re Young, One Thing, and Midnight Memories. Either he loved making videos, or he is a great actor!
Also, Niall is the “younger brother”! They always give him special attention.
Zayn and Louis were like best friends
Yes well Louis knows how Zayn doesn't really do well with attention in interviews so he's calmer and gives him space to be more comfortable
It saddens me how Zayn was SO open, energetic, loud, and confident during 2011, 2012. Then around the second quarter of 2013, he started to change.
I wonder if a major incident happened to him and caused that, or if it was constant , multiple, little things that slowly, but surely affected him.
Delaney, Zayn liked cartoons and animations but was already very intelligent and became more mature than others, personal and professional way. He loves write lyrics/musics and the management didn´t include his musics in the albums like did with the other memebers lyrics and became sad. And the other reason to became more anxious was when realised that loved someone he didn´t expected and that was difficult to deal with...(it is difficult to everyone that deal wiht that because the public expectations and critics)
@@clararodrigues9165 Who is the person u are suggesting that Z was into?
@@delaney5878 you have to listen his songs like a real listener and see the videos and dynamics :-)
@@clararodrigues9165 if you’re implying that he might not be a straight person, then I’m with u.
I just find certain lyrics in his songs suspicious & weird to be written about a woman, Just like “push me up against the wall, don’t take it easy” and “sitting with my legs across your torso, we are who we are when we’re alone”
React to Zayn and Liam
I’d love if you could ever react to the video diaries one day, I think it shows all of the boys’ personalities well from before they were famous and it’d be interesting to see how they’ve changed🥰🥰
more of One Direction, pls. Thank you
Thank you for that 🙏🏼
ZOUIIIS YES MY TWO KINGS
I was waiting for a one direction reaction for so long thank you so much 😭
Zayn and Liam please 🙏
I want to see his analysis of the 1D Leopard print dress interview 😂 pleeeeease Max
I think you should really react to "niall playing a very interesting role in the band" or "one direction loving Niall". You'll find it very interesting!
the way they match each others energies so prefect but are also different?? i’m sobbing
I would love to see more videos like this one of all of the boys, and please consider doing comparisson between older and more recent interviews for Louis and Zayn.
If one direction ever had a reunion or did a sit down interview together, we'll need you to break it down. 😂❤️
Thank you so much for this analysis! I think you see zayn in a really detailed way... Perhaps he wouldn't have left the band if the other bandmembers would have been aware of how they treated zayn, even if its not meant to be mean or something
Yes, exactly. i just got tired of all these ppl denying that they really were not close anymore and didn't care about zayn that much. it's alright, friendships chang through years but making zayn " the bad guy" and other 1D boys " sweet angels who just gave looooove to him but got left at the end" is not alright at all
And how exactly did the boys treat him? He seems perfectly fine and happy lol. It’s just their management that treated all of them badly, which is why he left.
"Louis will look at you and flirt with you" - yes please! When can it be my turn? Where do I sign up?
I feel like Zayn is the most comfortable around Liam, they are really close. you should react to them
I am an introvert and have always had alot of extroverted friends. I usually don't mind at all letting them carry the conversation. Sometimes when I do try to engage, I feel they aren't paying me much attention, but I feel alot of that is not wanting to make me feel uncomfortable. I can relate to Zayn as I have alot of anxiety in different situations. I think Zayn changed alot over those years and I'm glad he did what he had to do to find comfort and peace.
i love seeing matt on his louie mode
like dude how do I always end up searching ur channel up a few hours after u release a 1D video like EVERY SINGLE TIME wtaf
React to their video diaries you'll know their personalities more in detail and in video diaries you can see zayn interacting with everyone.they will be awesome one d vids to react to
Zayn and Harry definitely were the closest in the band. In the interviews or on stage, anywhere, the only members who were care for each other and actually listened to what the other one is saying were Zayn and Harry. You can see in the interviews either in the beginning of the band or the end, these two were always so close and they were always talked or Whispered on stage like a lot. And whenever one of them was talking even when nobody paid attention to their words, Zayn and Harry always make sure to here what the other one was saying and showed their appreciation for each other. Even one time Harry was talking and liam was about to cut his words off and Zayn noticed and hushed liam so Harry can speak.(there are a lot of moments like this)
Zayn's relationships with the boys changed in the 2014 cause he was struggling with eating disorder and anxiety but no one really cared or even noticed except Harry. He was always keep an eye on him to see if he's OK or not, or on the stage he repeatedly run to get a bottle of water for Zayn so that he doesn't bend to lift it.
And it was so obvious that Harry was the most effected one when Zayn left, like he didn't wanted to be there, he just waited until the end of the tour so he could ask for hiatus.
Anyway I talked a lot but you should definitely give Zarry a chance.
Thanks for your reaction by the way:)
I put some link to help you know better:
