Her best friend watching this: 😲

im 21 and have absolutely 0 friends being extremely picky might be a reason , im genuinely romanticizing friendships everyday

you don't have friends but you have a boyfriend. You still have no idea how it hurts when you are alone, you have no one. Just you, your brain and your apartment

I’m also 24 & I have no friends as well 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve never really had more than 1-2 friends at a time. It sucks & I feel alone most of the time but it’s better than having fake people in your life.

i literally sobbed last night over how lonely i feel over having no friends at 22. i feel like all of my friends from high school have grown and have their own friend groups and any friends i thought i had in college have went back to the friends they had from before. i feel like people move on so quick and i have no genuine friendships anymore - someone i can text every night and i know they’ll be there. it’s hard and lonely especially as an introvert.

Isnt it ironic how we are more connected now more than ever because of the internet but we are more lonely now than ever b4

crazy how different cultures interpret the word 'friend' so differently. In France where I'm from, it can take months and months of seeing someone all the time to graduate to 'friend' level. When I moved to London for uni within the first two weeks I already had like 20 people calling me their friend, which tbh made me a bit uncomfortable haha

Its my birthday and I just turned 24 Today, been in bed crying because despite feeling extremely lonely for a while I can’t shake the fact that my birthday went by without anyone wishing me happy birthday except for my family, no get together or party, no one remembered me. It hit extra hard on my birthday..

I'm about to turn 23 and have no friends because I was being severely bullied throughout all of middle/high school. It made it impossible to trust anyone. Now I'm genuinely not even interested in having friends and making connections.

I’m 23 and have no friends, they just never stay around, I find it so hard to talk to people pre make any conversation at all. I keep telling myself it’s okay to be alone but in all honesty it’s so hard and it feels draining to try to even make any.

I am 31 and have zero friends now. I genuinely being good to my friends and checked upon them helped them when they were in need but no one was there with me in the time of need. I feel like being so nice is the worst thing now on earth.

has a best friend, has a boyfriend --> „I have no friends at 24“

Finally someone fuckin understands. I don’t got social anxiety or was never a loser or none of that shit. My fuckin loyalty has always just been way fuckin higher than any “friend” I ever had. My only “friend” is my girlfriend and if I lose her I literally have no one outside of my immediate family. But I want more than my immediate family. Shit sucks….

20 years old, no friends at all. When I was a kid, I never felt the need to make any. I always waited for someone else reaching out to me and becoming my friend. Kinda regret it now

It's important to cultivate friendships. "A melancholy lesson of advancing years is the realisation that you can't make old friends." - Christopher Hitchens

You're not alone - thousands of people are in the same boat as you and although that doesn't make it "better", I find comfort in knowing I'm not alone. Cheers

Being smarter than the average person you tend to analyze everything more. Most people's idea of having fun is getting drunk together and if that is not your thing well then they think it is weird. And you can never be too nice to a friend. If they don't appreciate that well then they are a waste of your time. Many people are very self centered so never put your expectations too high when you meet somebody. Your are still young and have lots of time to make friends still.. Just be yourself. Don't try to be what you think other people want you to be. If i would be in my 20s and in Denmark i'd certainly love a friend like you ;)

I’m 22 and I’ve been a loner my whole life waiting to for the day when I can finally make friends and people would start talking to me more.

My (53) experience is: if you don’t reach out for people and activities nothing happens. Pretty fast.

If you have a best friend and a boyfriend that's more than enough nowadays. One must note that friendships are mostly done for entertainment, and there are other sources of entertainment available today.

I have no friends either really. The one person I thought was a friend ghosted me and the other I decided to drop simply because I know I deserve to be treated better than how they treated me. I would rather no friends then have inauthentic people pretending to be my friend. Sometimes I find it difficult to connect with people though.

I'm 20 and the reason I don't have friends it because people nowadays only care about superficial relationships instead of deep ones. I cannot make connections with people because they either do not want to open up to people, or simply because they have a big ego. This is why I stopped trying. When I would try before, I would always attract fake and shady mfs....but now imma just let the lord help me. I expect people to give me the same energy I give them, but they don't even give me 1% of that smh.

Damn. What should I tell? I (31) and never had any friends, not even a partner.

I’m about to turn 24 real soon and this hits so deeply. Everything u said about the internet is so true. Personally I don’t even use FB and I stopped posting and interacting on IG ever since I went off the grid a few years ago. The ironic part is I’m on social media/the internet almost 24/7 just to distract myself from the loneliness. I have a boyfriend too but it’s long distance and it’s not fulfilling at all as my only friend. I’m just glad I have a sister that I can call when I’m at my lowest or just in need of companionship. I also relate with resenting my parents because they really held me back from having friends by moving me out the country majority of my teenage hood. I’m learning to not hold grudges or regrets either because it doesn’t do anything for your present moment. It’s tough not to blame them tbh. I’m just trying to be more positive and strong willed or I’ll lead myself down a depressive path that makes everything worse. I’d rather distract myself with entertainment than to fixate on my loneliness and ruin my life even more.

You sound so well spoken, and like you think things through, considerate .. crazy how someone can have a ‘friend’ like that in front of them and not even notice the value. You sound lovely.

That’s hilarious. The friend saying “I didn’t think you needed me to reach out” is like the friendship version of “it’s not you it’s me”

I really enjoyed this! I think I often take things too seriously as well and, unfortunately, that can lead to isolation when you find that the conversations you have with others aren’t fulfilling. I think that’s what mainly inhibits me from cultivating meaningful friendships. You’ll find your people!

Maybe friends who don't ever reach out are tired of being the one who reaches out so they turn into the person who never reaches out. I got tired in my teens of being the one to always reach out so I became more reclused since my view of people changed when realizing it was me putting in all the effort. That caused me to become more "self centered" but now I value my goals even more like my career and getting a house, don't need unhealthy distractions like toxic friendships to get in my way now.

I never had many friends, I was always seeking approval from others. There were best friends but they burned me, yet I don’t understand there’s people that are fake and they have a ton of friends. I do talk too much. I definitely don’t expect much from people

I'm 29, I used to have a lot of friends. By now, maybe only 1 left. Maybe society is changing, too, social isolation is playing a role. Truth be told, loneliness also makes a lot of people sick. If you already have company, you can throw a lot in a person’s mood. Greetings from Hungary.

I don’t know why I’m crying over this video but I just identify so well to what you say because I’m experiencing it right now as a 19 year old girl and I just keep repeating myself: why is this happening to me. Love the video btw ❤️

this was so insightful and moving. thank you for your honesty. i can totally relate to the part of me reaching out to others and kind of entertaining them but the moment i hope for entertainment and mutual connecting, im out of the equation. or i am too much. im 24 as well and today the last friend i had was ending our friendship after he already left me hanging for new years without an explanation even though we had plans . we ended up not talking for 3 months and today he apologized, only to let me know what we grew apart (whatever he meant by that because up until november we had great talks and laughs). we were also in a group of 4 together and met sometimes, of course not as super open and close friends but it was fun. now that dynamic is gone as well and i am on my own. i was before as well because we met like twice a year in that group but still. i was also the only one who kept the group member entertained in a chat or with memes or whatever.. i am just so tired of being alone all the time and giving without receiving, ever. in past friendships i was used for my car and ability to listen and give advice or i was just not treated well. i am by no means perfect and have my flaws and yet at least i am willing to sit down and think about them and walk towards a person to aplogize or communicate. but as an only child with a single mom and no more family, there is also another kind of difficulty in understanding dynamics and having relations. i get the part of learning to not be dependent on it or to be fine with it but on the other side it leaves me without any mental resources, therefore making it hard to build a life i love all on my own. such a weird order in my opinion, we have to learn to enjoy being alone while we suffer from the absence of any human relations in our lives.

I’m 22 and I feel like I’m broken or something. I was homeschooled and a recluse for most of my life. I grew up in a major city so I wasn’t totally isolated and sort of knew how to seem normal but I couldn’t break through with anything past that. I can’t click with anyone. On top of all of this I went through some traumatic experiences involving men and some very irritating experiences with toxic girls I used to hang out with and now I don’t care that I’m alone. Maybe it’s not healthy but after years of feeling like a doormat since I had no boundaries and got hurt as a consequence I’d rather just be alone and protect my peace. It’s important to be your own best friend and stand up for yourself, I can’t stress that enough, or you’re going to be both unfulfilled and vulnerable.

I am 36 and have never had any friends really . No one ever . Being alone might be painful but it’s also a superpower few can handle . Depends how you want to live your life .

Celine I cant believe how much I relate to this and your experience. I’m 24 and have been struggling with loneliness for around 2 years. like yourself my only real friend was my girlfriend who I have recently lost due to a mutual breakup. The Birthday example really hit home too as I only had one friend last year remember, someone who lives abroad and I never see. Probably the only person I can think of who loves me really outside my family and checks in on me regularly, although our work schedules seem to keep us apart like you said. I did have a lot of friends in the past who I loved a lot but I found out very quickly through Covid that they did not love me. Same situation with me always checking in, instigating conversations and keeping the friendships alive. You realise it’s not worth it Since August 2020 I’ve been dealing with an epilepsy diagnosis. going through this has felt almost impossible with such a small support network. All the friends I had that I thought I was close to grew distant and became indifferent to my stories of seizures and visits to A&E, stress/anxiety. I want to push myself out there to meet new people and make friends but I always feel in the back of my mind that I don’t fit in anymore. like a piece of me is gone forever. The epilepsy and the loneliness has taken away part of who I was on some level. But I know I’ll get it back, I’m good and there are good people out there despite what most of us believe. Don’t let the monster win. I just want to say that you’ve made me feel less alone here and I hope you see this. I’ll be your friend any day haha

lol it's crazy because I only have my best friend and boyfriend as the only two ppl I talk to regularly as well (I am 23 y/o). I feel like the more I see these types of videos in my recommended, I find that it is more common than we realize

Beautiful video essay. I would add that friendship takes time and only after some time and shared experiences you find out who are your friends, which is also the beauty of friendship.

I'm 23 and I would say I only have 4 friends but still they don't text me everyday. I only see them maybe 3x a year 🙃.... I'm also an introvert so I don't need much social stimulation.

I couldn't agree more about your parting shot on feeling a sense of obligation to friends where you find yourself doing things with them because you feel you have to and not because you really want to. I've come to the realization that a friendship is not true or pure when you start to feel resentful about having to spend a certain amount of time with someone in order to justify your commitment to that friendship. It becomes more of a dependency when that starts to happen. True friendship shouldn't require a certain number of hours spent together every week. Just be there for each other when it really matters.

I relate to what you have said, I’m 24 and have found friendships difficult since leaving school. Going to college was the hardest for me. University was a lot better but now it is finished and I only really speak to my family and those I work with. I also couldn’t connect with people online cause my internet was useless, until the past nearly two years. I am okay with being alone but I like being in small groups of people with similar interests, again it is just finding these people that is hard! There are people i know I would like to talk to it is just hard to send a message and hope they feel the same. Such a great video Celine, thanks for sharing 😊

I'm 24 in 2 days, I spent the past several years traveling the world and meeting tons of different people. Now after a year being back in my city, it feels like I'm away from home. Friends and people I used to know I don't anymore, but it is what it is. I just keep focusing on my goals and talk to new people everyday

I remember I was quite needy when I had friends. I don't like that version of myself. I only feel like myself when I am alone. With people I always have to pretend, with different degrees. As you get older, you just don't want to bother with it.

everytime I get recommended one of these videos I check them out of curiosity and almost always the person talking has either a friend, partner or both. To be really alone is a whole different experience, isolation even for like 6 months is very hard.

19 and no friends.....happy? no.....sad? also no...i feel insecure

From childhood till now, there is a void in me that I like to live with, I do not have any friends in my college, I miss my childhood friends who are in other cities, today it is three to four years old. I am living without friends, when I saw your underrated channel, I thought sharing my thoughts with you, you are the only one from whom I can expect a response. On becoming famous, that connection gets lost somewhere. Currently I'm 21 I have some friends but I do not feel that affinity with them, but I try to remove this face of mine, but still sometimes I feel like this. I feel like crying and many times I have cried hugging my mother which helps me to feel lighter which is happening even while writing this comment. Even my closest friend has forgotten me, I see darkness all around me, how can such people leave their friends alone

Thank you for saying that about the internet it doesn't seem like it's very social as it should be. Iam 32 and have no friends just online friends honestly . It's nice to see others like me who don't have many friends or at all . You have me thinking about this in a more positive way. I hear you on the too nice part I hate that I can be that way but working on that .

I’m 19 and I have a “group” but feel super lonely in it all the time. So I pretty much have 1 maybe 2 freinds but I feel so lonely all the time and sometimes I just want to cry but I know the right people will come.

I am 29 no friend no boy friend.

I'm 18 and I have loyal friends I don't need a huge friend group Im also more an introvert and I love doing things by myself I don't feel lonely cause I know that I have people where I can relay on. And that's amazing. I'm about meeting people I don't need to be friends with everyone but I can be honest and nice.

update!! I have friend(s) now!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqmUqdGG1duumpc.html

I was a loner in my high school as I wasn't worried about not having any friends, after high school I had group of friends and started realizing how important such friendships are. I think we are social creatures and there should be people around us all the time for support in all aspects.

Ty for posting this on my bday!

last year when I got into uni I went up to people and talked more often whereas this year I feel like it's such a waste of time since people are superficially friends but not deep! So I feel like I don't even feel like talking to anyone and just do me. AT the same time, I feel so lonely and jealous when I see my peers in groups and I'm unapproached because like I'm cool too why doesn't anyone like me enough?

wow ive just stumbled across this video. I am the exact same, 25 and no real close friends. I am in a committed relationship so I do have that connection and do have friends that I speak to every now and again but they dont live anywhere near me so I very very rarely see them. it sounds sad but my closest 'friend' is my mother... she's my shopping buddy, lunch buddy and trip buddy. I was always that girl in school that had loads of friends, I used to go out none stop and had such amazing social life but when I hit like 21 its like everything came to a halt I ended up losing touch with people after I went traveling abroad alone for a couple of years I sadly never really kept contact with a lot of the people I left behind so when I came home everyone's life had carried on without me and mine was exactly where I left it. I LOVE going out and being social but even that is very few and far between now a days but when I am out with people they always tend to gravitate towards me and want to speak to me but when the night is over thats it its just over. I know a lot of it is my fault I have a bad tendency to disconnect a lot from my phone and social media so do take a rather long time to get back to people which has definitely led to some of my friends just not making the effort anymore which to be honest I do not blame them at all. I do work full time and have nice work colleagues but 99% of my shifts are 12 nightshifts ALONE. I have tried to befriend my work colleagues but we just dont mesh in the ways I wish we did they are all either a lot younger that me (18/19yo) or older than me (35-50yo) I also developed crippling anxiety after an event that happened when I was overseas when I was 22 that caused me to come home and disconnect even further so even thinking of making the first move with anyone made me feel physically ill for the longest time. at one point I couldn't even go somewhere like a McDonalds or a Starbucks on my own because even something as simple as ordering something made me feel like a fool as well as over thinking and second guessing every single little thing that I would do. I have definitely come a long way I can go out on my own and eat in restaurants now and I generally try not to care what people think about me but I still cannot help that deep feeling of loneliness, not having any close true friends besides my partner (whom I love very very much) but having a partner its just not the same as having friends. I know if I ever lost him I would literally have no one else and that thought scares me most of all.

I relate to this from the beginning to the end. I feel you.

I am 41 and your experience resonate with mine. To keep a connection feels like a responsibility too. I should be there if they need it… but we are adults. Things happens. We have things to do. In my case, a work, a family. Low mood. Sometimes, loving your life and being busy seems to interfere and it should not. A real friend gives space. It’s hard for me to deal with others insecurities, I feel clueless, I waste my time, time that I want to use for my health. I prefer sport to some discussions. I want to recharge my battery. People change too… For me, it’s just fun to be friend. And it always end by me feeling that this is a chore, a responsibility. I always feel guilty to not be enough or do enough. I just feel so good alone for all the reasons you mentioned.

I kinda am going through what you did but, i also had suicidal thoughts and Insomnia that kept me awake for days at a time I'd sleep 6-10 hours a week, but because of all these mental problems i began isolating and my friends at a point just stopped asking me to come out because they always got a no anyways, and as the years went on people just moved, got new friend groups, got kids and so on and now i have two real friends left, that haven't moved and still check up on me, makes me sad that i remember my prior self, hanging with the popular group, going to parties all the time and just being very social and now i have to restart, got emitted to the psych ward acute because i had suicidal thoughts and moderate to high depression, generalized anxiety and insomnia, 3rd week on Mirtazapin and Quetiapin (for sleep) and I'm hopeful for the future, im just waiting for the full effects of the medication and therapy, im sure we will both find friends with time, sometimes you just meet one amazing person and begin to hang around their friends and suddenly you have multiple friends that could potentially be close friends.

Yes same and when I say I have none I mean 0 not even a partner. I haven't dated since this whole C19 thing started and that's when I realized I had no friends won't go into too much detail I was very sick in the hospital for a month and no one cared no one called or messaged me even though I told them, I had to practically beg for any kind of response. One thing I learned is that if you ever get sick it is a true test of friendship. I get ignored at work 🤣 , there is no wining, I am getting older so its not going to get any easier finding a boyfriend but at least I have entertainment to distract from...existence. So I always had social problems, have since I've been a small child I always had a problem connecting to other people, I sometimes wonder if I am on the spectrum with my lack of social skills since a young age...not sure but anyway I subbed to you.

I have no friends in the state I am living in… I have only a few friends who live out of state… they used to live here but moved. I work too much for friends. I too feel like my relationships exist only because I reach out in the exception of 1. I am also single so no boyfriend/bestie for me. I have coworkers I get along with well, but like you said they’re colleagues and not friends. I keep my life pretty quiet at work for professional reasons. I’m so lonely that if it weren’t for my cat I’d probably curl up and cry every day. I have horrible social anxiety and a lot of trauma from my childhood that has affected my self worth and how I relate to other people. I’ve tried therapy and dealt with my trauma but it hasn’t helped. I don’t know what to do anymore but I feel like my heart isn’t able to do this much longer,

I had not many friends until my Bachelor studies, unfortunately lost many of them because they went to look for work and I continued my Master studies. So I often felt lonely and my girlfriends always were my best friends in this phase of my life. Thanks for breaking with the stigma and being so honest!

You said something quite significant …. I’m too nice ! I think that this is my problem too. Don’t take me wrong I do have my faults like most human being but I always take friendship seriously and I am loyal too. Most people aren’t like that anymore. They move quickly and treat each other like old pair of shoes no longer wanted. It’s very sad !

23 turning 24 this year and I only have one friend which is my best friend, and then I also consider my cousin another best friend. I even have a couple of internet friends, but still 😭

I’m 17 and I don’t have friends.

Somehow this is exactly how I am and how I feel! I just decided that I was gonna stop trying to connect to the so called “friends” that I have to make an effort to contact! I’ve decided to try and find new friends but it’s hard

I had a group of friends that would come get breakfast at the place I worked at and I would write "have a good day at work, safe travels :)" on the receipt, I guess it was creepy and they eventually stopped talking to me and coming in to get breakfast 😅 they all still hangout together and go do fun things, I'm glad they're having a good time, it just stings a little. Even calling and texting anyone nowadays is near impossible. My birthday is tomorrow and it does suck not having any family or friends to hangout with, I might go to the park and try to find someone to chat with!

This stuff's got me reflecting on the night before my english exam

Im 20 and i dont really have friends. Most of my friends are there to feel less lonely but they never really invited me to anything. Basically im the last resort or last to pick on the list. If my friends have nobody else, theyll invite me if only necessary.

I thought i was alone in this. It's such a weird feeling. I know so many people where i live but none of them i see as close friends because they all spend time together with their circle and i never get invited but when i see them it feels like i belong to the group even though i feel more alone than ever joining them in activities. I don't know if i will ever break this cycle but i will move to another country and see what life is over there.

36 had so many friends growing up. Got sober 5 years ago and now km 100% alone. Its so hard

Same I've never had a problem making friends the issuebis them sticking around and getting them to hang out with me. I'm fiercely loyal compassionate and genuine. I reach out to people and i either don't get a response or they dont say a lot they don't reach out to me either like ever its frustrating and upsetting . I feel like I'm the problem

Your insights and courage to speak so openly about this subject are impressive. I can tell you that earlier this year it suddenly hit me that except my wife and kid, I have nobody. Many work "friends", but not true friends.

23 years old and I've been lonely for years plus no friends. It's a struggle

For me it's that I have this savior mentality and in the end it's pushing others away because, yeah, I might be able to see better certain situations, but that doesn't mean others are ready to face those things. So I'm pretty much a good intentioned controlling asshole. I'm too much, too invested, too nosy, a know it all, overbearing, stressful etc etc I also open up too quickly which also drives others away. I am very passionate about a lot of stuff so it can be tiring to others. I also love being active but obviously in my own way which pretty much never matches with other people's way.. I don't always like to check up on others via the phone. I am more of a tete-a-tete sort of person.. creating memories I call it. I am used to having others over or I going at their place. Opening our homes to each other. My only huge problem is what I mentioned and that I really don't care about messaging or calling every day. If the other person wants an everyday interaction then in my book we shall do it face to face and not by phone.

I like that you have it exactly about how your colleagues are NOT your friends, especially in a competitive society.

I totally relate to what you are saying about having "friendships" where you are the only one reaching out. It sounds like your "closest confidante" was gaslighting you. Meaning, she was giving you a face-saving BS explanation for her bad behavior.

I’m 24 and have no friends because my whole teen years I was good to the friends I did have and would go out my way to be there for them but I guess they had a different motive and that was to have some type of collateral to use against me when we fell out and just leaving a abusive relationship so now I’m numb ! At 21 I moved and stopped talking to everyone in my life cause my mental wasn’t ok and it just showed me that I’m strong and that no one really cared bout me and I had to buckle up and move on w/ life now I’m just so lonely and prolly will be for the rest of my life cause I don’t wanna get to know anymore people just to get back stabbed by people I thought would be there for me

I'm all alone since 6-7 years ago. People are thing of past now.

Trust me if you are waste your 20s you never get friends in 30s like me

I am about to turn 41 in two months, i have 2 kids, one coming up to 16 & the other nearly 3. I have been married over twenty years to my partner, who has lifelong learning disabilities. My mum passed away back in 2017 from blood cancer. Being a metalhead, i go out to the odd gig now & and then, including my local rock bar for some therapy. I ve got acquaintances, but no one that really makes any effort to check in on me. I dont drink or need any external validation as i consider myself a confident individual who is not afraid of socialising. It just feels so difficult to find anyone who makes the effort, let alone can be trusted. My home life is fine. Outside of that, i have no one, so i relate to alot of the comments here. My bin goes out more than i do lol

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZfaq channel 10 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,933 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Watching this I feel it. I had friends in my 20s, and then when all of them started getting married and having kids(I'm also married but no kids), they started to disappear into their own bubbles. It is painful as no one is close anymore. I reach out and get nothing back. I try to put in the effort and nothing is reciprocated. I then realized that I may be a forgotten friend to them, but they have also forgotten themselves, which is worse. They don't have real friends because they themselves disappeared and in the long run, it will still be easy for me to be friends with someone, but it seems they will have the lonely future. It may be painful to not have anyone reciprocate right now, but if you're the one willing to put in the effort, then you won't be lonely in the long run.

Im 24 and I used to have lots of friends but turns out theyre all snakes. now I only have like 1-5 friends but I rarely talk to them and I never shared my pain with them cause they seemed happy in life. its kinda frustrating when I have noone to share my pain with or just have an ear listening. I thought Im getting used to it but its still frustrating.

Why do i feel like you're telling my own story

When you go down a different path than the rest you’re always going to be alone on your journey in life but you learn to appreciate it when you get older and more wise💯🔥🔥

I am 42 now and i had a life with a lot of people and "friends" but learn that real friends dont exist....just an illusion. Everybody live their life for their own benefits these days and everybody is "busy" with nothing.....just extern factors like status, money, material things that for me dont mean anything......just empty. My happyness start inside me and i live my life alone now.....love myself and yes people are not make for beiing alone but better alone then feeling alone in a group with no deep connection. Defenition friends is not what is was.....and the funny is that everybody you talk one on one says "you are so right" but do nothing about it. I dont trust people anymore now and dont talk to people beside of work ....but that is on another level. But nobody knows me who i am really are and that's fine because that's shows me how many are not on the same energy level.

ah. to be honest, i have found myself and my world as my best friend and playground. and whosoever saw what i saw, i would be open to interact with them. the issue is, nobody sees what i see any longer. not even my psychiatrist. it is heart wrenching to see how the one person you feel should understand, acts as though they do not hear you, they do not see you. they do not sense what you sense or hear what you hear, those deep currents within yourself. a maze is the self. a danger, and a play. but to be honest i wish i had a lover. not as a diversion, as someone with whom i can feel as though we were not separated. a plurality without bounds.

I’m so glad I came across your channel because we share a lot of very similar views ❤ I’m 36 with zero friends and also studied philosophy..here I was thinking I was the only one who had these particular thoughts 💭

I'm 17 and for some reason when I go on school excursion and try to hang around with them they will walk faster and purposely leaves me behind. I try to be friends with every one but all of them just goes away. If anyone knows how make friends please help.

I thought i was the only one but I'm relieved a bit now

great title Celine!

Being clean- cut as you are, the only place to find clean cut guys will be at church. I found my girl there. GODSPEED !!!!!!!

I think your ex-friend pointed to something you can take on board: you don't communicate your need for their time and present yourself as maybe more detached than you are.

I will be 25 soon and i never really had any friends, I went to normal schools, did normal stuff and never really got a friend. The last time a talked to someone my age was 3 years ago. My last and first crush was 10 years ago when i had one. When i talk to people i get super bored by them and i never want to talk to them.

Gosh I feel like you put my feelings into words Im exactly in your position, I am 24, with no friends or wouldnt have any friendships if I stopped putting in more effort. I have a wonderful boyfriend who's my best friend in the world but it scares me to be solely dependent on him , even for friendship It is bittersweet though, that Im not the only one in this situation. The part at 7:19 especially resonated with me Here's hoping we find decent friends some day

I have no friends ,no girlfriend, feels sad ugly and Depresed I compare myself always with others.

I will be 24 next year. And I've lost all of my friends. I was afraid to be alone but no more. Neither my heart or my trust can handle the people anymore. But first time in years, I really started to love myself. I saw my worth, and I love the person that I've become.

"ensuring a visually not lonely life" hit hard

Watching this makes me feel better

I have zero friends , everyday is painful. Honestly I think I have no friends because having 0 friends has made me really sad and angry at life , and who wants to be around someone like that ? I probably have no friends because I don’t offer any value to the people around me ( or lack thereof ) tbh idk how much longer I can do this , every single day feels almost physically painful. Some days I wish I would be walking across the street and just get hit by a bus so I wouldn’t have to deal with my sad ass life haha

Im 24 and just lost my only friend. They just ghosted me w no explanation over a month ago. I’ve tried reaching out (unsuccessfully) several times. I believe this loss is due to a long list of things I have going on and the fact that I recently discovered I have ADHD, both of which make it hard for me to be there for them quite as consistently and on-demand as I used to be when we were younger… Although I do try, I had to accept maybe my trying is not good enough at this time.
