5:33 #4 - Thank you for putting this into words. I was surprised to see someone I always helped happy to see me stumble and be humbled. I suppose I might be arrogant and obnoxious, needing humbling, but there was a clear sense of pleasure and viewing himself as surpassing me. I couldn't put into words why that was so intolerable, but yes, when facing crisis, good people will be neutral or supportive, not rude and contented. I guess there is a jealousy or envy that might happen more with the lack of disagreement sharpening in your point #2, a passive aggressiveness
This is very helpful and I want to thank you for this video. I’m trying my best to have meaningful friendships with other men. I’m married now and it’s different because some of my friends had a different life than I did. I’ve been thru traumatic experiences and now I’m being careful and alert by the men I encounter. I understand you have friends on different levels and most importantly there are boundaries.
Thanks for this video. I've learned so much from your takeaways. Coming from a different culture Asia, now that I'm in Europe and gained a few friends (I really filter who I become friends with due bad past experiences), I've come to understood their culture here and I'm doing my best to also embrace the culture and learn things I haven't experienced before. This actually helped me realised things so far with my current friendship with my male friends here in France. Merci beaucoup!
I’m really having challenges in this area of my life. I don’t want to feel too needy reaching out though I desire male friends a lot. Most time I feel really awkward reaching out. How I do get quality male friends without being too needy
So not emotional and intimate, it sounds like coworkers friends... Everything is so selfish, revolves around self and physical needs. I don't think I would be interested in this kind of friendship
@@JurrienMusic The way he talks about friends being beneficial to carrier or projects, reminds me of people who save business cards of people by their specialization, just to call them when they need specific advice, connections, protection.. only in this case, since they are "friends" this service will come free

In what way do you think this is selfish?
