  • As the years go on, my friendships seem to dwindle. That could be for any number of reasons, but perhaps it's a normal and even necessary part of life. Everything is not meant to be eternal, and that's ok.

      It does NOT speak volumes about the loneliness epidemic. This fact only means a lot of people find it interesting enough to want to listen to it, no matter who is the guy speaking.
      I'm just pointing out that your statement is realistically invalid. Yes, this is an everyday guy (looks to be in a good state) venting and has a ton of views, rare but it does happen to people here and there. Yes, you can definitely argue there is a loneliness epidemic. But no, they are not related whatsoever. Maybe whatsoever is harsh, but there is no direct connection, they just both happen to be independently "true". Sorry.

I have 4 contacts in my phone, just immediate family, I'm broken, and I've almost ended it a couple of times. I never thought it could get worse, but my god, it doesn't stop getting lower.

      Hey Sal, I definitely understand how that feels. I moved states in middle school so going into high school I never felt comfortable because I thought everyone already had “their” friends. I eventually found an amazing group of like 8 kids. One girl ended her life our senior year of high school, 2 girls spiraled into a dark depression and have been in and out of treatments, and 3 others moved to separate states across the country. I only talk to the last 2 friends from that group and other than family they are the only 2 people in my phone. I’m only 20 so I can’t give much life advice but I understand how you feel to be broken. I’ve failed out of school, struggling to pay bills, find a better paying job, and can’t seem to hold on to any type of healthy relationship. Everyone I know sees me as the most bubbly person on the outside because I don’t want them to know how I really feel inside. I tell myself that tomorrow could be the day I get my big break and that it will be worth going through all the tragedy. All I can really say is plan ahead for you future but take life day by day, you will never see a rainbow until it storms and the harder it storms the prettier the rainbow will be. Please keep your head up and stay strong!!

You can't give up this early; you've just started. I'm only 19 myself and about to turn 20 in half a year. I've been a marine for longer than I've been a high schooler, so I've had shittier days/weeks/months than the majority of people will ever have.

    Thank you for sharing this. I am a 30 year old woman, my friendships have dwindled down and I no longer care. I have been protecting my energy because a lot of people are not rooting for you. I want to be focused on the goals I've set for myself and that requires working in silence. You will find people who match your energy and are on the journey you're on. It requires being patient, selective, and the relationship needs to be consistent. I am no longer running after people for attention, acceptance, or to be loved. I've done that majority of my adolescent years. I've always cared about what people thought of me. Use this time to find a small community of people to have some social life. It can be as simple as joining an adult sports league, outdoor activity, artistic circle, then come home and focus on yourself.

    but im glad more younger people are being open about it, i can’t imagine going through my 20s without people to share experiences with, places to go form memories, realize what makes a true friend too. the world has changed and the impact on human connection is a problem if you ask me… we all need someone, we’re social creatures at our core.

    I'm 30 and I have no friends. As I've grown and matured my standards for who I want in my life have tightened to the point where nobody's left. I don't tolerate phony people any longer. I would encourage anybody to break off their half ass friends. If any of your "friends" talk to you, and treat you in a way you wouldn't treat them. They're not your friend. Some of us are too compassionate and need to realize that compassion is wasted on some people. Took me a long time to realize that. Because there isn't a strong character and integrity behind it, all the fake love they claim to have for you doesn't mean shit.

      I can really relate. I will be 25 in december and as most people in the comments here i also dont have friends nor a gf and it doesnt bother me. I ended my friendship with last group of people i knew 2 weeks ago it was a guy i met in school when i moved to a new country 6 or 7 years ago and when i moved back to this country in January he introduced me to his gf and one more girl from their school and 2 weeks ago we all were about to move to a new apartment they found. Me and that dude were talking about start making music together because sometimes i make EDM music as a hobby and im still learning always searching for videos about music but idk what snapped in me and one day i texted that i will not be moving in with them and i kinda dont want to be associated with them anymore and mainly its because they dont do anything they just pretty much go to university and smoke weed all day and he never tried to even make music all he does is just saying if we need to make music get rich but never does anything. So i can really relate when i started to mature and have standarts the circle became very very small.

    Hi Zo, I'm 51 and losing friends is a normal occurrence. I've been betrayed early in my life by friends, so I started keeping folks at a distance. I have levels to people. There are acquaintances but few friends. Having friendships takes work. Sometimes one person gives more to the friendship than the other, but true friendships never die no matter how long your don't talk or distance. Having one quality friend is better than having 20 useless, selfish, narcissistic acquaintances. Be a good person always. You'll attract what you are inside eventually, but you'll definitely kiss a bunch of frogs along the way. Bless you for sharing your story. I don't believe we put here to be alone. Finding good people to do life with is hard, but don't give up.

      My advice is, work hard, and do great things, and become friends with others who are also grinding, it happens when you are grinding, for example, When I started leveling up in my gym and training, i started gaining more friends, (not alot ) but a good few quality, 1 by one over time, because I guess when you are healthy you attract other hustlers to be friends. the same thing with other areas in life. Family relationships signinficantly improve when you take care of your addictions and just live the life you are suppose to live, even if it's hard.

      Friends are definitely necessary. I mean why else would people make video's expressing these feelings? It's not as if this video is a testimonial for succes. Friendships can lead to a more healthy/wealthy life because friendships can often lead to opportunities for jobs, relationships, entertainment, and overall better self-esteem as a consequence of mentioned opportunities. It is a lesson I had to learn myself and I'm glad I pushed myself to reach out to better(!) friends. Cut ties with your bullshit friends, those who f*ck with you, take too many dr*gs, those that space out into fantasies to much, and those that stab you in the back.
      People attach too much meaning to the word "friend". A friend does not have to be "your life-time" buddy and knows áll your insights... I met someone on a vacation who I will probably never see again, but we clicked so well, I will not hesitate to confidently call that person my friend. If you f*ck up with me, your not my friend anymore... So what I learned is that the word friendship is way more fluid, fragile and short-termed than I thought before. Don't raise the bar so high, or else friendships will always be this unreachable deep battle.
      BTW, the dude in the video seems super chill! I think I could definitely vibe with him.

    My life peaked like 2 years ago - I had many good friends, spoke and played games with them every day. I had a girlfriend. I had a good job with a cool boss. Worked out, got slim. Got a nice haircut, clothes, fragrance etc. It was the best time of my life, I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. Then it all started to go to shit, my job changed, friends started disappearing one by one because of things in their lives, and even though I was always there for them, it turned out they were never there for me. I eventually broke up with my gf. Got fat again. Stopped caring about my looks. Have a job that I hate. And my life is just miserable. I can't even speak with anyone. I have literally no one. I never had many friends, but I never had ZERO friends. But at least I have a youtube comment section, where no one will ever read my comment, but at least I can rant and let off some steam. Life just sucks. What's the point of it if you don't even have anyone to care about.

    Bud you gotta be the most patient person I've heard speak on their experience with hearing that word. It shows me how much you may have wanted that friendship to work out, but you ultimately made the best decision for yourself because they clearly weren't respecting your feelings, and didn't treat you like a person equal to themselves.
    One of my pet peeves is when a person is hurting, they convert that hurt into pain they inflict on other people. You seem to have the opposite thing going on, where you may be hurting but you still give people grace. That is a massive burden to bear but you got your head on straight man, this is the way to be. Patience will pay off for you in the end.
    I thought I had burned all my bridges at 23 and moved away from home, friendless and burying myself in my new career. I was poison to my friends, and I was reminded I was in the wrong by the burning in my chest everytime I thought about them.
    It all comes around man, I promise you. At 25/26 I entered a new job in a new city and met the most beautiful group of like-minded friends I still hold onto to this day, even though we live far apart now. If you keep searching, you WILL find your clique I promise you.

    I'm 30 and I feel the same. My guesses are:
    1 - We've matured and learned that not everyone was a "friend", we just happen to be around each other for long periods of time.
    2 - Work really consumes people. Social life takes a toll when after graduation, going out stops being fun when you are constantly tired.
    3 - Social media has people only texting. We barely have real face to face humans interactions like our parents did.
    Lastly, society has changed so much. When I was a kid my little town used to be fun, regular parties and events happening throughout the year, there was always something to look forward to where you'd meet people and socialize. The last time there was something like that I was like 15, now not a single celebration type of thing ever happens. The fun town I remember is no more.

    • @gilleschen7373
      @gilleschen7373 11 місяців тому

      ​@@kulolal Hey man, i'll be glad to share my story with you.
      I was always self-conscious about my body, being fat/overweight basically 90% of the time. About 4 years ago I was at my worst, I felt the ugliest, was the most overweight, quit University after 2 years because it was too hard and had to change to another University. Not much changed immediately after that, but in 2021 during Covid, I really went down a rabbit hole of self-improvement. At that point, I did not really have any close friends, I barely went out or even got invited.
      The past 2 years I have been fully focusing on grinding, improving myself and my mindset and becoming who I truly am. This meant a lot of isolation, which sometimes made me feel depressed - but I know I was doing something good for myself and that at the worst case at the end of this self-improvement journey - I'll have a better mindset, better physique and more confidence and love for myself.
      Becoming my authentic self meant that I began approaching people with a newfound sense of character, a quality I had lacked in the past - I actually felt like I had no character at all.
      Nowadays if we talked, you would probably not forget me very easily and see me as "that" guy. Approaching people with my now more refined and defined character meant that I now would only make friends who I liked and who also liked me for my now more outspoken and direct personality.
      I don't have tons of friends - I don't care about that - but I have 2-3 very close friends who I spend a lot of time with working, going to the gym etc.
      The essence of this may sound clichéd and unremarkable, but its truth remains undeniable - work on your fucking self. Find out who you are, what you are. Improve your mentality. Take care of yourself physically and mentally. Look clean. Behave like a good man. Dress well. Speak slower and more confident. Look people in the eyes. Walk around with your chest up and shoulders back. Be thankful to God.
      TRUST ME - it adds up. I had no relationship before recently at the age of 26 - and now I have found the love of my life.
      Life is undeniably good-perhaps almost too good right now for me. However, I remain mentally prepared to embrace the lessons that Life and God may still have in store for me.
      Whatever you do - live a good life. Become a good man. Respect everyone - but most importantly - RESPECT YOURSELF.
      I kept this story short, a lot of details are obviously missing, but I hope you get the idea.

      Going off OP, every time I isolate myself it takes a lot of time and effort to start reaching out to people again. Small baby steps, like remembering how to even just have conversations by tiny small talk with one person at the store counter or a dog walker etc.
      Stuff like looking up one or two of your hobbies or potential interests (anything!) and try to start slowly going to groups and testing it out. It’s awkward and draining at first but bit by bit you get into the swing of things.
      Initiating things with people who you’ve fallen out of touch with!
      Ultimately, isolation is torture for humans (that’s why solitary confinement in jail is such a punishment). Isolation severs our connections and makes us bitter, and while that hurt can be in response to genuinely hurtful things a lot of that times, isolation BLINDS us over time, and makes us more and more bitter as time goes on.

The best thing you can do is be a good man, and seek out others who are trying to be the same. You can find guys like this at the gym, jiu jitsu/martial arts classes, church, and some other passion-focused groups that you could join. You are not alone man, just look at these comments. I promise you are gonna be just fine, God bless.

    I’m 26 haven’t had “friends” since after high school, I was always a loner. I use to think something was wrong with me but I’ve come to accept I’m just the way I am. But I’m never alone since I have 8 younger siblings. Lucky for me because if I was the only child I’d probably have a different mentality.

      Family is always more important than anything. I have one close friend that I’ve manage to have left in my 20s and we talk about how we don’t talk to anyone anymore except each other. Everyone just moved on in their life or we just knew moving forward that there is certain people we couldn’t take on in life, when we’re both busy we have our families to and we both talk about the importance of having that bond with a family that will always be there for you.

      I'm 33. I have "friends", but I don't fit-in with them anymore. The things we used to bond over do not excite me anymore. I'm more focused on my walk with God while my friends love worldly things. I'm learning to accept it. I do have family. I have a husband. I have children. I have loving parents. I have a brother. I also have coworkers that I hang with from time to time. I become depressed sometimes because I'm not as close as I used to be with my childhood friends, but I just have to let go and let God. 🙏🏽

I am 36 and I am learning that I still have enjoyment of life with my hubby and family even though I no longer have the close bond that you find with childhood friends. Maybe this is just the nature of growing up and maybe if I change my expectations, I can get even more enjoyment out of a life of loneliness @@thebibleisrightperiod

      My biggest concern now is what do I want to do with my life what am I going to do for a career.
      Cause at the end of the day nobody is going to be there for you when ur trying to earn money or make a living, or when your trying to find ur career path.
      Once you got all that figured out, if u still have no friends then start focusing on that.
      But for me personally friends are the last thing that is on my mind. I’m a lone wolf type. I’m not seeking friendships.

    I’m sorry you feel this way bro, I’m socially awkward as well, my best tip is to deal with awkwardness is to articulate clearly and calmly, when you have a calm energy while conversing people enjoy this, it also gives room to put jokes “fun” in, you don’t have to have good jokes to be fun, you’ll have to just communicate in a non awkward way, which requires some trail and error, as long as you’re aware of this, and improve your speaking, helped me a lot!

    Honestly this is what comes with getting older; friendships become something you've gotta put a lot more effort in than when you were in school and was pretty much "forced" into a closed environment with the same people everyday. With life's responsibilities and just general adulting, it becomes harder to maintain them.

We all branch out and start creating our own destiny in life and make our footprint on this earth. Its not you man we are all just growing up and learning how this crazy world works and if we all hangout all the time there would be no time to focus on what's really going on in the world and making a name for ourselves, If you're really friends you'll re connect when you're a little older and have your own house and a steady job and kids and all that good stuff.
