hey ! i totally understand man. i’ve recently started to realise making friends and maintaining friendships really isn’t as easy as people say it is. I’m not quite in my 20s yet so i must still have time but i think whatever i have to say is worth putting out there. i have a good number of close friends but sometimes i really feel like i don’t have an authentic or genuine connection with them, like i can’t open up or totally be myself. i have 2 or 3 friends who i can totally switch off and be myself with but the rest i feel constantly judged or scrutinised. When i was a kid i somewhat struggled to make any close/best friends, i was the ‘ weird kid in a sense; i was geeky and was horribly chronically online by 2016 standards. i loved minecraft, evidently, fnaf, had a fascination with early 2010s content, creepypastas etc. i still do, really, but i wasn’t as good at masking it when i was younger. That, i think, has followed me into my late teen years and such, i never quite feel like i belong anywhere with my friends at the best of times. I’m not an introvert by any stretch of the definition but i don’t necessarily think i’m as good as socialising as i once thought i was, especially the past few years. I go through phases where i can’t bring myself to talk to anybody unless i’m in forced proximity and feel quite awkward when i eventually do; i’m unsure what i’m meant to do or say because i’ve got no idea how i’m meant to act normal around people and water myself down. I often come out of conversations, even with people i’m very close to, riddled with anxiety over things i said or what i did and getting all worked up over absolutely nothing. This has definitely kept me from maintaining any recent friendships; i talk to people, sure , but developing a meaningful friendship? not really. I’m still in school at the minute so i’m around all of my close friends frequently but my inability to form and keep friendships has me really stressed about the near future, it makes me physically sick with anxiety to think about everybody moving away for university or work and i can’t imagine myself being in a position where i have to meet new people and not be able to rely on a sleepover with my best friends at the weekend to make it all better. TLDR: it’s okay to struggle to maintain or form close friendships, it’s a struggle many people have. I also might have autism so maybe take what i say with a pinch of salt lol (sorry for that absolute yap fest 🤓 great video tho love this format sm can js stick it on whilst i’m playing minecraft)
I definitely get that… when I was in highschool I COULD NOT interact with other people and be my authentic self… the only people I’ve ever been able to do that around is my friends I made in elementary school… and ya I get the anxiety too… I definitely overthink interactions a lot and I get scared like I won’t ever meet new people that I really connect with… one thing though I will say… since coming out of highschool and being in college for a few years… I’m finally starting to be able to be my authentic self more and more with people I just meet… I’m sure you’ll figure out your own unique way to form bonds… we are all just trying to figure it out… I love the comment thank you for sharing ❤
Here before you blow up. ❤❤ Lowkey this video and the UA-cam Lost its Soul one is so real, everything you state couldn’t be said much more clear. Continue doing what you’re doing, because you’re definitely bringing me back some nostalgia with these videos and so much others. These uncut videos are so soothing to listen to and watch, bringing me old jacksepticeye vibes. Keep growing man. 🙏(Also, please remember when you become a legend)
Damn you made my day thank you for this comment. I’m not the first person to start making these videos but I really like doing it and I’m so happy there are people who are enjoying them ❤
Bro, I moved across the country in 2020, and I basically only talk to 2 dudes (my closest friends) from back home. I haven’t met many people down here, but the ones I have, for one reason or another I’ve had to stop talking to. I get crazy lonely, I feel like I am wasting my young life away and it’s the worst feeling ever. I literally have dreams where I am with a group of friends (that’s doesn’t exist) and we’re just out at bars and stuff living life having fun… then I wake up to this crap.. like, forget meeting a nice girl to start a life with, i can’t even meet a decent human being over here that’s worth keeping around. But like, I’m not gonna lower my standards to these energy sucking, life destroying people I’ve met.. that’s the thing about starting over and moving, u get to really pick and choose who stays in the circle.. just so happens mines empty
damn I feel this so much bro.... I constantly feel like im missing out seeing what my friends are doing in the group chat... finding people that you gel with and that actually fw you is definitely harder in your 20s... on top of being in a new place... shit man I get it and I feel like we are in similar boats... I wish you all the best dude fr and thank you for your comment ❤
I moved halfway across the country a couple years ago, and I still talk to all my friends back home. I'm still in high school, so I feel like it should be easy to find new people, but I just find it kind of hard to make new friends. There are a few people I talk to, but really nobody at my new school that I really enjoy spending time with. I really like what you're doin here bro, it reminds me of what youtube used to be.
@@Aidxxn Thanks bro. Don't give up on what you got going on here no matter how badly life beats you down. You have an opportunity to make a great community with this channel, so keep doing what you're doing brother, because you're one of the most authentic people on this platform.
first video i’ve been able to relax to in a while. i’m a junior in highschool rn and i want to go to college and get out of hs so bad. but it sounds so lonely.
I mean I’m just speaking from my personal experience… there are a lot of people in my school who come from out of town and meet lots of friends… don’t let it stop you from getting out at seeing other parts of the country or world! ❤️
Totally feel this. Not gonna lie you sound chill af to be around. If you want more friends to play minecraft with, let me know. Its really all i play anymore lol.
this channel is fire bro, even if its just 2 videos, i love content like this
Dude thank you… much love ❤️
