Best making friends as an adult advice I have ever heard: Just show up in the same place on a consistent basis. Thats how you made your school friends, sport friends, work friends etc, and it's how you make friends as an adult. It doesn't matter if that place is a bar, an online community, a sports club, a cafe, a making class, a library- just keep showing up somewhere consistently and the other people who do that too will become your friends.
:O it simply cannot be that easy. This actually gave me hope hahah
I found that pretty true actually. The friends I have made in the past few years were at work (obviously a place I go every weekday and spend a lot of time with the same people :D) and in an online game where I showed up consistently at the same time for months. In my experience if you're just there and generally show yourself open for conversation people will draw you in and well.
The back and forth between 'wish I had more friends' and 'I need to lay down after seeing humans' 😂
Ha same! Can't decide if it's comforting or not that Lucy also experiences this though... because she seems like such a fun person and still doesn't have enough friends?? No hope for me then! 🤣
Hahaha the eternal struggle of life
I feel both parts very much!
Yes!!!
@@hatfullofsky that's how I feel.
"I was too shy and depressed" I FEEL SEEN. Honestly making friends at uni was so hard for me and now that I'm graduated I have no idea how to make new friends either. Feeling sick today and this video really helped cheer me up :)
“I never really got that at uni because I was too shy and too depressed” girl SAME
What a really great time it was for all of us 🥴
I feel the same way about finding friends, especially having a friend group. I have singular friends from all different parts of my life but not really a group of 3-4 girls to just hang out with or go on holiday with. That always sounds so fun but it’s something I’ve have never done it. Same with concerts or festivals, it’s just better with a group.
Flo is just the sweetest little thing and I love her. She’s clearly so happy to live with you, and I love when animals find their people.
What you're saying has really resonated about friends. Most people have found this lockdown hard because they couldn't go and see people and how much their life hadchanged. I found it hard for the opposite reason of how **little** my life had actually changed. It was a literal lockdown and my life was no different and that was and still is something that I've been really struggling to deal with. It made me feel so lonely and like I don't have friends.
Lucy you are essentially an Introvert! You like socialising but you also need time on your own to reenergise, just like me 😁 there’s nothing wrong with that at all ❤️
I can't believe how many people have recognised this! So interesting 😂 Introverts unite I guess x
I’m a bit late to the party but I literally came on to write this exact comment! I’m an introvert and proud of it 🥰 it doesn’t mean we’re shy or antisocial, just that we recharge our batteries in a different way. And we’re equally fabulous as our extrovert counterparts! ❤️❤️
For anyone in a city, bumble BFF can be great meeting new people. I moved down to London about 4 years ago, and after a while realised my only friends were housemates or from work. Before the pandemic I used bumble BFF for a little while and met 1 girl who I became really good friends with. Its a lot like dating, some people you just don't click with but you can meet other people exactly like you, wanting to make friends locally. So I really recommend people give it a go especially if you've moved to a new place and don't know many people locally 😊
I really really resonate with your need for new friends, I’m 32 and don’t have any close friends/ besties due to moving a few times (uni, after uni job etc) and so lost a lot of close connections from childhood. It’s so lonely sometimes!!
SAME.
I wish there was a straight forward way for us like minded lonely folk to be friends lol!!
@@helenlouisesmith2184 me too! I’m literally same, same age and I moved away for uni then moved back and have moved again just before lockdown so I totally get what you’re saying!
32 and Same! Its lonely, hard to find just one close friend instead of superficial just small talk 'friends'..... its reassuring to know I'm not alone in this but equally sad we are all in the same boat 🙁 xx
The baking chat hit me hard 😭 It feels good to know I'm not the only one feeling like that ❤
I feel you, I’m part of the tomato club. Always so embarrassed when people act like I’m about to drop dead and I have to explain myself. I tend to exercise at home for that reason as the gyms where I live have a tendency to a bit,… pretentious. One day though. Haha
I’m not well enough at the moment to attain tomato status during exercise. It’s a goal I’m working towards.
I guess we just have to laugh off the 'WOAH ARE YOU OKAY?" response. Sweaty and THRIVING 💦
I think you looked great when you were all sweaty. That redness is very mild and hits your face on a flattering spot. I personally love when my face has some redness and my clothes are sticking to me from all the sweat. It makes me feel so powerful.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Lucy, you are such a joy. "Am I broken?" 😂 Oh and I completely understand the need for a few days off to recharge after socialising. If I have more than two things planned in a week, I start feeling a bit overwhelmed. xx
I felt the same way about friends, but also take 2-3 days to recover from socialising lol! But I’ve joined a group and find it so handy and I’ve met a couple of people through it, they have a London version, try to find it on Facebook. It’s called London Girl, it’s a really lovely and supportive group 😊
I was having a bad morning and you posting genuinely made my morning better!
I hope your day got ten million times better!
I feel seen. Big Tomato Energy (BTE) here. I have rosacea and I’m a fitness instructor. Sometimes I have to give a disclaimer that no, I am not dying, just very Irish and red. I enjoy working out in rooms without mirrors and I keep a cool wet washcloth nearby to pat my tomato face with.
Keep being awesome!!
Love that you teach classes even though you have BTE! For me that'd be such a motivating thing, to see the teacher pushing hard too!
@@robynnel6048 hey! We have the same last name. Crazy!
'Just very Irish and red' needs to be on a tshirt my friend x
I started the Couch 2 5K about 2 months ago and it’s completely blown me away. It’s help my stress levels, my sleep, my general mental health and it makes me feel so proud of myself and powerful. I was initially really embarrassed by running slow and stopping to walk, but now I run super slow, bumbling along, and have no shame about how red and sweaty I get, cause im doing it for me!
One of my favourite Lucy videos- so chatty and lovely!!!
On the making new friends thing, I joined a Facebook group called "the London lonely girls club" (which sounds incredibly tragic but here me out) and people post in there looking for friends who are interested in certain things/live in certain areas of London. I made a small group of friends through that! Post-covid they're starting to do meet ups etc too
I have just joined this on your recommendation! Such a great idea x
must have watched seven brides for seven brothers hundreds of times as a kid, along with calamity jane - the niche of cowboy musicals! the friends chat also hit home, because I always marvelled at how many friends and plans you seem to have. goes to show how universal this is!! lots of love as always
Don't ever change Lucy 💜💜
you are a breath of sunshine lucy x
Anything involving Lucy Wood is my safe space for sure💖
I also completely empathise with this "How to make friends" thing, especially in London and it being so big! I would also benefit from any advice that you get from anyone about this! By the way Lucy I think you are bloody beautiful and fun, and I highly enjoy watching your videos! :) x
This video was wonderful to watch. Felt like chatting to a friend which is just what I needed whilst sat in a&e on an oxygen machine and having blood taken (asthma attack) so thank you for being so down to earth. I feel like we could be mates in real life.
This is literally the first time all week that I have gotten up and got on some clothing and had a plan for today. Thanks so much for the chat! I totally get where you’re coming from with the needing more besties, I feel like that all the time! Love your work Lucy!
I have binged your channel for awhile now but you just seem like the sweetest person. I feel a lot less lonely having you in the background. You make me feel better in myself and just more wholesome. So thank you.
Love the nails btw and being in my 30s and always had a hard time making friends, volunteering has been great.
You could try moving the rosemary to the side of the bed where the slugs are getting in, they don’t like the smell of rosemary and won’t usually travel across it to get to your other herbs/vegetables. I think lavender works as well. I have a big rosemary bush next to my little veg plot and I have had minimal slugs so far :)
Thank you for making me feel better about my big tomato energy - it’s a real vibe 😂 my whole life I’ve always went extremely red during exercise no matter how fit I am but you’re so right, it’s all part of it and it’s better to invest time in movement for health than be fretting about having a bit of a red face 😃
We're all red and sweaty and heavy breathing together my friend x
@@LucyJaneWood PREACH!🙌🏻😇 also completely relate to how hard it can be to make friends once you leave uni/college…. If only all of your UA-cam community could converge together for Gilmore Girls references and copious amounts of coffee 🤔😂
I am from Texas and summers can be brutal here, but the thing is that we have air conditioning EVERYWHERE, so unless you work outdoors, you can really mostly avoid the heat. I cannot imagine how brutally hot it must feel inside your home when the temps are in the 80s or 90s outside. Also, I've often joked that I feel my secret calling is to move to the UK and preach the gospel of ceiling fans! They're so needed!
Lucy, thank you so much for this. I truly needed this video. Having such a bad one today and it's like I've caught up with a close girlfriend. You made me get up out of bed and do little things to take care of myself. Glad we share the same struggles with exercise, making friends, and introverting 💕 hugs xoxo
Lucy you read my mind in this!! I’ve had the exactttt same realisation recently. I really wish I had more close friends where I live, to hang out with! Especially because my work day is so flexible and I do it all from home, I’d love to see more people apart from my boyfriend and my one bestie that lives nearby. I was also way too shy and self conscious to hang out in groups at uni. I don’t know how to make friends now but at least know you’re not alone!! I’ve spoken about this with my best friend and she feels exactly the same! 💛
I get super red when exercising too, and feel kinda self conscious when I'm at the gym, but I like to think it proves to others (and myself) that I've been working out really really hard!
Totally! Although I would accept a badge or a medal that says I WORKED HARD instead of a red face haha x
Oh my goodness, you are truly pure joy & I wish I lived in the UK because I would picnic with you in an absolute heart beat. But alas, hello from Alabama 🤍🤍 Also, I love the green nails, it’s so jolly🥰
I'm 23 and did not anticipate how difficult it was to make friends as an adult but here I am! Watching this video and reading the comments has been massively comforting 💕
So we’re going to need some sort of application process to become your besties, whenever I watch your videos I always think we’d get on so bloody well!!
Egg shells won’t deter away snails unfortunately. Egg shells are actually a calcium source for snails, and they happily eat away at them which helps promote shell growth! It’s advised to use eggshells as there’s a myth that the sharp edges will cut the foot/body of the snail but this is far from the truth. They create a mucus known as “pedal mucus” which protects them from sharp objects, sun/light rays, helps them to climb vertically and horizontally, and to adhere to surfaces. It also has regenerative properties which is why it’s so desired in the beauty industry. There isn’t much that can be done to prevent snails and slugs from munching away at your crops without killing them 😢
P.s I’m a mollusk freak, if you can’t tell 😂. I absolutely adore you and your content girl 💖🌿
Mollusk freak is a really great title to give yourself. Thanks for this! I cannot believe we've been FUELLING the bastards 😂
I’m totally with you on the wishing I had more besties train. I have a best friend where I live and we do hang out and have dinner or go places but I’d love a group of people to sit and chat for hours with. If I lived in London I’d happily be your bestie, your videos are the highlight of my week because I feel like I’m hanging out with you 😊 I think the best way would be to find a communal hobby (tricky atm I know) like a choir, craft club or board game night or something and see who you meet
I feel like that about you Lucy! I'd love to have you as a real life friend! I have different groups of besties, but it's equally hard to see them all, we all work, some are having babies and life in the late 20s+ just gets busy, so it's just about doing what you can when you can and not pushing yourself into situations you aren't comfortable in ❤️ it's also not about the number or besties, but the quality and you seem to have lovely friends, from what I've seen x
7 brides for 7 brothers is a classic! Absolutely love that movie, I used to watch that with my mom growing up and I watch it whenever I'm missing her
I am in my mid twenties and moved to London a few months ago, can hard relate to feeling like you are alone in the city! Something that I found really helpful was joining a netball team. I don’t really like netball but I joined a recreational league near me just playing one evening a week and it has been such a nice way to meet people. I joined on my own and didn’t feel left out at all on the team. Everyone seems to be about 25-32ish and is really friendly. Highly recommend :) x
great way to make friends is to get hobbies, take some classes of something you are interested in... like baking, painting...
I've been out of uni for 3 years now, and not made one new friend since lol but now i'm taking baking classes and already made some friends
You kept me company while I did the ironing ☺️ can’t wait to see how your stair shape up, I think they’re gonna look great! X
Making friends as an adult is such a struggle! As a shy extrovert I crave meeting new people and making friends but am too anxious to actually approach people. I did manage to make some friends at university but in the few years since graduation everyone has moved away, while I've stayed in the same city and am now all alone. It's a relief to know I'm not the only one finding it hard (also if I lived in the UK I would totally be your friend).
i always keep oil in the house for the no butter situ! So many super light cake recipes out there for oil x
This pandemic has turned me into a huge hermit! I hate going anywhere now, which is weird because I'm usually the one that says, let's go! Love the nails. I've never had my nails done. So happy you uploaded today!
I think it's changed people's priorities with socialising which is so interesting! Treat yourself to a post-pandemic manicure 😎
You have seriously brightened my day 💖💖
Introverts unite! I went on a big friend camping trip last weekend and I’m going to need two weekends of no socialization to recover lol
Waking up and drinking my coffee while "hanging out" with you is one of my favorite things
So glad you have a video up this evening, I don't work on a Friday so I have that hideous weekend lonliness looming, most of my friends work in hospitality, in Cornwall, so are never free at weekends now the season has begun, my daughter is at her dad's and I seem to have forgotten how to plan weekends. Everyone else busy with partners and kids and mates and I feel totally alone.. Thank God for the cat. 🤦♀️😻
Would love a occasional series on Lucy’s Tv reviews!
Also, in terms of making friends I honestly don’t know what I would do without my friends I made through my acting studio. I’ve never met a group of people I’m closer to and I’m so grateful. So maybe a class? Especially one that lasts for a while or so (at least a month) and then suggest grabbing a drink or a bite after class? I always feel like that’s such an amazing way to bond. ♥️
Seeing you’ve uploaded really makes my day😊
I just wanted to tell you that when I went and got my hair cut a little while back, I showed my hairdresser your hair and asked if I could pull off your cut, because I love it so much. It looks different on me, but it actually worked out well! So thank you for the hair inspo!
I am living in a city away from my close friends and something that has really helped was taking up a social sport. I wouldn’t say I am besties with anyone yet but has really given me something fun to do on a week night with no stress or social expectation to talk too much. I chose rounders because it was really relaxed and a wide range of ages so it didn’t matter what fitness level I was back.
I just finished my ‘bum bum’ cream that my sister got me for my birthday. One of my favourite scents ever. I’ve also got the Brazilian crush perfume body mist and I haven’t got much left. Even my niece loves the smell 💕
as someone who moved to london in the middle of a pandemic i feel exactly the same about trying to make friends! it is so stressful and i always wonder how people do it!! 😂
I had this exact urge to bake the other day and went through the same process of having to talk myself into going to the shop. Why is it ALWAYS the butter you don’t have in?! 😂
For the slugs and snails: both the eggshells and the copper tape are barrier methods which means they will only work if they are fully surrounding your plant. A couple of scattered eggshell pieces won't do the trick, you would need a thick layer of shell shards all the way around the plant. For the copper tape make sure it is wide enough that they can't easily go over it and also that it goes all the way around your planter. Also that there are not already slugs in the planter when you put it on (and some can be really tiny so check carefully). Hope that helps!
I know exactly how you feel about feeling lonely in London. I moved to South London for work a few years ago and I find it’s a very antisocial place, everyone already has their own stuff going on and never really opens up for new friendships. It must be so hard for you having this channel, being surrounded by like-minded people, but only online, and there’s so much uncertainty in making friendships online! If it wasn’t weird thought it could be kind of cool to have a ‘coffee club’ of likeminded people from here, but it could accidentally seem like a fan club and that’s definitely not my vibe!
Well done you for sticking with your plan to bake! If I looked in the kitchen and realised I didn’t have the ingredients to bake, it’d be back to the couch and Netflix for me! Sorry, no cake today 🤣 I don’t like going “out there” 😂
Absolutely me, every time! BRIGHT red and dripping and everyone else looks like they’ve just woken up! Thank you for speaking about this! LETS GO TOMATOES 🍅
For the friends thing either
a) pick a place (pub, cafe, library) and turn up there often, talk to people (which I know isn't easy but it works)
b) do classes at the local community centre/library like cooking or DIY or painting or language or something that lasts a decent amount of time
c) there's a website (at least in the UK) called 'meetup' specifically designed for this exact problem, you type in where you live and people will have made groups looking for friends to do cool stuff with, there's like gaming ones (board and video), just hanging out ones, outdoorsy ones - I went to one when I was living back home for a while and we played board games, went to the pub, had a lovely picnic all sorts 😊
I would be so excited for your PLL thoughts/recap video!!!
The antipodes manuka honey mask is also insane!! So good for dry skin
Great video Lucy 🥰 I also love baking the ‘old school favourite’ traybake for my son…he loves it 😍
Cerave urea cream (the light blue one) is incredible for keratosis pilaris!
Omg totally feel you about meeting new people/friends! Realised just how small my circle is for my wedding/hens party lol :P Have 3 bridesmaids, which seems to be pretty small compared to others?
Thanks for the lovely vlog, sending love from New Zealand xxx
Would love a PLL video and any other video with thoughts maybe if others are interested maybe start a tv series club like a book club but tv series?
Also can you let us know if the bumpy skin cream works I can't remember a time where I've not had chicken skin!
oh i very much relate to that chat about friends. im 28 and currently don't have any close friends and oof, the end of lockdown makes me feel extra lonely. no idea how to make friends in my city though haha
KP is definitely tough - I've had it since I was a teen - and I've found things that work temporarily but it's like my arms get used to the products and then they just stop working entirely. But I'm way less self-conscious about it than I was when I was younger! So it was good to hear that you've gotten to that point too!
I’ve just turned 27 and literally have about 2 friends which I hardly see!! I’d love to have more friends and be more spontaneous!! #Ineednewfriends 😂💕
I mean it's slightly tragic but at least we're all in this kind of terrible boat together ⛵️
Omg same 😂
@@carlylouiseglen5480 We should make a club! 😂
@@alisonbee483 Very late to this but we actually should! I'm in the same boat and moved to a new place mid-pandemic where it was actually impossible to make any friends... so I have literally no friends in this area 😅
@@alana7088 Yes!!! 💕
I don’t think you understand how much you help others with your chats. I can relate to the no friends thing tooo much. However your chats just make everything more better and less tragic feeling 🤣
Lucy I really felt you about the friends thing... I moved to SK to teach a couple years ago and made a little group of friends, but now we're all moving back to our home countries (back to the UK for me!) And it's hit me that in the UK I have 3 friends and we all live across country from each other 😭
I love whenever you post videos it is always so calming to watch you just live your life. And as far as making friends my husband and I had the same issue we are both almost 30 and most of our college and high school friends are far away or we have just grown apart from. So we had a lack of close friends plus I work from home so no work friends either. And the best thing we ever did is my husband joined a kickball league. And its so much fun for him and I go to support and now almost 2 years later we have made soo many close friends and have such a social life again! It was hard at first because I am an introvert but having an activity that requires a weekly commitment helped so much!
Ameliorate is brilliant for kp. It's really worked for me!😊
Totally feel you with the friends thing. I recently joined bumble bff though and have been chatting to some great people. I met one girl for a cup of tea and a chat last weekend which was really lovely :) I recommend giving bumble a go :)
I suggested the same!! I met my in-town bestie using bumble over a year ago now
As a South African from a part of the world where summer gets 38degrees easily. London summers in the high humidity are actually quite hot. Don't feel bad, it is hot and your buildings don't cool you down.
Ultimate yess to more videos about tv shows
i completely get you with the friendships. my 2 besties left me last year, (basically because of my depression) and i was heartbroken. and i just don't know how to make more close friends. All i have is my boyfriend, who's of course my bestie, and like my family. but i really miss having girl best friends. hopefully eventually we'll be able to make some. if i was in london i'd definitely be your friend, i think we'd get along swimmingly. let us know if you find out any tips for making friends 😅
i'm loving your vlogs so much, they're so comforting and i just love your personality. 🥰
Hey Lucy, I had really bad KP my whole life but I’ve figured it out. You need those little shower loofa gloves and a thick body moisturiser with urea in it - don’t know if urederm exists in the UK like Aus, but it’s a life saver. I’ve managed to completely get rid of my KP, and I was very bumpy/scaley/red at.
oh girl I so feel you on the exercise thing! I get super red too and I sweat significantly more than other people around, and it always made me super self concious. Like if you actually sweat during any kind of exercise you are less than or whatever and that is just absurd to me, and kinda make me frustrated sometimes
I have KP on my arms too and the only thing that works is the ameliorate moisturizer Highly recommend !
Omg!!!!!! 7 brides for 7 brothers..... so nostalgic, I had it taped from TV on vhs! Relate with you so much.
Love from Minnesota
I felt you so much with the struggles of making friends as an adult! I have two best friends but they both live so far away but i'm too nervous to join a club or go to a place on my own! Reading the comments on this video has given me a little shove though :)
I’m soo glad you brought this up and that I don’t feel so unusual that in my late 20s I feel like I have more acquaintances than best mates.
Absolutely love this video and I felt myself having a full on conversation with you in my head as I was watching, I may be insane 😅❤️
Ohhhhh when you talked about the big tomato energy club, I almost cried! I’m definitely part of it and used to hate it, but 2021 has become the year where I exercise just for joy and strength. Stopped weighing myself last year so the high I get from working out is just how long I can hold an exercise or how many repetitions I can do. 10/10 would recommend ❤️
Omg I wish I had more best friends too! I literally just put it in a monologue I did for a theatre thing😂
Oh my gosh, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is terribly fantastic! The choreography! The costumes! The plot! I've got to watch it again.
What kind of exercise do you do? I relate so much to everything you said about exercise being a punishment. ❤
I’ll be your friend! 😂 I’ve thought exactly the same thing. I’ve just moved to Barnes (SW13) and me and my partner would love local friends. It is difficult as an adult unless you’re into sport I find (I’m not….)
Edited to add: a friend of ours just had a baby and apparently there’s an app that’s like Tinder for new mums! Surely there’s a gap in the market for an app for adults who want to widen their dial-a-picnic circle?
Lucy I am totally with you on the exercise thing! I always saw it purely as a thing people do to make their bodies smaller, and even if it was doing something I enjoyed (zumba for example) I couldn't just do it out of enjoyment, but it had to be caveated as 'working out' rather than 'i'm doing zumba because its really bloody fun and I enjoy it'. I recently bought a bike with the money I've saved during lockdown, and honestly I bloody love it! I grin from ear to ear as soon as I get on it! I can't go far as I haven't ridden a bike for about 13 years, but I can't tell you how nice it feels to ENJOY moving my legs.
#BigTomatoEnergy oh i feel ya! i've had very similar feelings surrounding exercise as you have. now thinking of it from a "joyful movement" and wanting my body to feel good perspective rather than a "must do 700 crunches and torture myself in an attempt to make my body look a way that it will likely never look" perspective is just so freeeeeeeeing
I love My Fair Lady! What other musicals do you like? Xx
I love your vlogs the make me laugh especially the cook with me videos with Adam x 🤍
The Cerave SA Smoothing cream has worked wonders for my bumpy arms. Give it a whirl!
I made 3 really good friends when I had my son, all the babies are around the same age and it’s so lovely we don’t get to chat much now it’s mostly running around after the toddlers 😂♥️
I love the baking therapy idea! Have you tried niacinimide for the hormone spots? Worked a treat for me and pretty cheap (I use The Ordinary but I think it's quite common elsewhere)
