Two of the nicest, most genuine people I've found on KZfaq. Anyone lucky enough to call you guys friends should feel truly honoured ❤️

Oh Lex, you have no idea how many people absolutely adore you.

Trust me, as a older person, if you find one true honest friend in your life, consider yourself lucky!

I wish I had friends like you guys. You’re both good people.

Not confrontational, not bitter, just gentle truth. Well said, Lex and needed. These are lonely times, but you have a whole lot of people who know exactly what you're saying.

My grandmother once told me that we lose friends over the years, make new ones, lose those too over the years not because they weren’t true but because we grow, and change, especially for those of us who want to learn more about the world. She said it’s like shedding skins. You’re developing into someone new who may no longer relate to the past. You may feel nostalgia, you may still feel connected somewhere deep but losing friends is a sign that you’ve moved on. She said there are friends that feel uncomfortable when you grow, those you lose, and friends who cheer you on, those remain friends for life.

I really feel sorry for younger generations. They have it so much harder than I could have imagined. There is isolation, loneliness. When I was younger, we interfaced in person. Streets are devoid of kids playing outside together. People are in their rooms on their computers and phones. It is so empty and illusory. Deep, true human connection is what matters. I'm glad you discussed this topic. It is better to have few very quality deep relationships than many shallow connections.

This hit guys. I turned 30 a few months ago and i feel the loneliest I have been. Don't really have any friends, nobody reaching out. Lost in touch with my old crew for various reasons. Recently single too. Life is crazy.

I too am 30 with zero friends. You’re not alone, Lex. It can be a struggle at times, but your videos make for good company. Thank you for sharing your presence and insights. I appreciate the depth in which you think, your words resonate with me. The two of you are beautiful together and you definitely have a friend out here in California ❤

I used to have a TON of friends. Now I'm terminally ill and unable to do the majority of the planning, unable to play sports, unable to ride motorcycles anymore... I began watching reaction channels, and you guys feel more like friends than my personal friends. You guys seem so genuine, I am so amazed about by your faith, your comfort speaking out about your political views, and now being parents... if you guys lived closer I would SO be willing to be an uncle or grandparent figure. I used to mentor young men Brad's age. I include you guys in my prayers, but my heart goes out to Lexie. Lexie,, never let your self feel less than beautiful, all you have to do is look at how Brad looks at you.

Im 26 with a wife and three beautiful babies and i have been dealing with the "no friends" thing for the last few years and my wife has started feeling the same way recently. I think the entire concept of friendship shifts and changes when you have a family to consider.

I'm 31 and at 18 I became a caregiver for my mom so all my time and money goes to her care. It can be lonely, and I feel disconnected with my peer group too. I'm also shy and reserved by nature so it's hard for me to make friends anyway. I also believe social media is responsible because it requires no people skills. So, today's young people have no idea where to meet each other or talk with one another without it feeling weird. Even if you have no friends at lease, you have each other that's a blessing in itself. I wish I had more freedom but taking care of my mom is honorable work and I love her.

Lex: There's an old saying - "Better to be alone than poorly accompanied" . So many people in the world WISHED they had a loving partner and family or a beautiful baby. Of course we would all love true friends, but for now, continue to be thankful for the wonderful blessings you DO have. Keep your chin up! =)

Social media has hurt peoples ability to meet people and create real meaningful relationships.

This is exactly what happens when you marry your best friend. I did the same. Now, we both don't really have friends that we talk to or get to see very often, but it doesn't feel lonely since we're basically friends hanging out every single day.

I have no friends also, That's just the way I want it. All they do is bring drama into your life.

I'm 61, and have consistently been enamored with your channel and with your reactions. I feel that the issue is that neither one of you fully realize just how lovely, intuitive, bright, sensitive, evolved, kind, open, funny, emotionally mature you truly are. Tryin' not to "fan-boy" too much, but y'alls reaction channel was (is) my and my partners favorite, by quite a bit. Once again, I'm 61 and never had more that a couple friends at any one time. We love all three of you ❤.

You have plenty of friends here, Lex 😉

The way I see it, you have over 314,000 friends, and we all love you

As sweet as the two of you are, their are millions of people that would want to be your friends. I wish the best to both of you.

Lex, this breaks my heart because you are such a lovely person. If it's any comfort to you or others, it's a natural part of getting older. Growing up, school is a social environment where we go through hallmark life changes with the same people every day for decades. Once we're out of school and start working, being close friends with co-workers is difficult and inappropriate. We move from place to place, have responsibilities of living on our own, have romantic relationships and for some, start families. All of that puts us in isolated bubbles. There's less time and opportunity for real bonding with people. Unless someone is really social and goes out of their way to belong to social groups with like-minded people on a regular basis, it's difficult to develop and keep strong bonds. The change is hard to deal with and we tend to internalize it sometimes but I assure you, it's a part of life and not a reflection of you as a person. I hope the love and support from this community helps remind you that there are people who care and value you for the sweet and kind person you are. ❤️❤️❤️

My wife of 33 years doesn't care that she has no friends. She has me, our 3 kids, and her family, she says that's all she needs. May God continue to bless you both.

I’m in my mid 30’s and if I had learnt anything valuable - it would be that a few loyal friends equal a thousand relatives ✨

My grandmother always said you only need one good friend in life. And I think there are levels of friendships - some are more acquaintances, some you might go dancing with, someone might be a movie going friend, one might like going out for meals with you. But someone who shows up when you really need them - that's the one you need the most. And having people in your life of all ages is a blessing.

To me, Brad seems to be the best friend you'll ever need.

It’s so funny. Recently I lost my brother who really was my best and only friend. I’ve been leaning on internet people and reactors for company. It never even occurred to me that reactors might be feeling the same way toward their subscribers. Thank you guys for making me feel a little less alone. Really loving these conversations.

I remember somebody explaining Facebook to me while I sat with a large group of friends in a pub back in 2007. I immediately thought it was a crap idea that was the antithesis of friendship. Unfortunately it caught on along with other social media, so we now live our lives connected yet totally apart.

Lex, you are a gem! I am a lot older than you but want you to know that you are definitely quality friend material. You are loved and appreciated by many of us out here! Thank you for all your sweet self ❤

We will be your friends ❤

Lex is a sweet old soul. This is why your circle is small. We are all your friends ❤

Lex, I am 63 and have no friends. Relationships are hard for me, it sometimes bothers me but I have a wife who loves me, so I am blessed.

LOL, welcome to your thirties, we've all been through this. Don't feel bad, this is just a natural part of life. The older you get, the less friends you have.

This surprised me because Lex is so delightful and likable. I just assumed she had lots of friends just wanting to be around her all the time.

Im 55 and have no friends either. Ive also been drawn to older people for friendship/company but there's no-one now. I have aspergers like your brother. I didn't find that out until I was 38. I think so many people are missing out on having you for a friend. You're a wonderful sensitive, intelligent woman.

When I see people waving to others in public I will almost always wave back even though I am 100% sure it is not for me. The look on their face is priceless! Give it a try sometime and afford yourself a little self entertainment moment. The best ones are when they just give you a smile back.

I hear this a lot from people 30 and up. I have no local friends, but I call my friends nearly daily from out of town/state (I don't have social media). My side of my wedding was so sparse from my small family who didn't want to come and friends who couldn't come to where I was offering plane tickets to anyone that could make it work. You're not alone. Stay in touch with who you have. Connections are important.

It's ok Lex, im 35 and have 0 friends, no gf/wife, and no kids. Plus I don't speak to my family. It gets lonely but you're going to be good. You've got Brad and a loving baby to keep you occupied. You guys are great, and will be great.

I recently turned 40 and i realized that friends really start to drop off after about the age of 25. When I take inventory and look back I realize how many people were friends with me only because they needed something or only because we had a mutual friend. Its awkward and feels so forced to try to make friends with people as an adult.

Im 47 and i never see ANY of my close friends. We were VERY close from age 5 to age 28 or 29,then when most of us hit 30 we grew apartt. I got 23 Amazing years and this is what happens when you get older. I also lost my entire family in the span of 10 years. From 2011 to 2021 i lost my Father,Sister,Brother,Niece and both grandmothers. Growing old can be lonely.

I'm a 45 yo man and I also don't have any friends, meaning people I can trust, hang out with, talk to about things, etc. As my screen name suggests, I'm a "Lone Wolf", I'm an introverted person by nature and I'm very comfortable in my own skin. When I was younger, I used to be a people pleaser. I pretended to be a more outgoing and social person, because that's who I felt my friends wanted me to be and that's who I thought I needed to be, in order to have those friends. Eventually, I got pretty burnt out on always feeling like I had to say "yes" when people constantly rang me up asking me to do go out and do things I really didn't want to do. Ultimately, I wound up distancing myself from many of those people I used to be friends with. I was getting tired of pretending to be someone I wasn't and I was gravitating more toward my true nature, which is more of a loner, an introverted dude who feels more comfortable and at peace when alone, rather than with people. As I've gotten older, my views on the world have also changed quite a bit, which has caused me to distance myself from the remaining "friends" I had. I am much more of a critical thinker now and I pay more attention to the world around me. All those people I used to hang around? Those fools are still fast asleep in this world, they don't have a solid clue or opinion about ANYTHING important in our country, society or the world. They are the "sheep", or better yet, they are among the masses of frogs in the pot, slowly getting boiled to death and they don't even know it. I feel like I've really woken up to a lot of things in this world, over the last 10-12 years, many lies that we've been told throughout history. I'm now having to basically "un-mind-f**k" myself and relearn the TRUTH about everything that we've ever been taught in life, because ALL of that stuff was wrong. I just take things more seriously now and I'm on a mission for truth. Those people I used to be friends with? They couldn't care less about anything, they are just content being cogs in the system, hamsters on the wheel, chasing that unattainable illusion they call the "American Dream". George Carlin had a great quote about the American dream. He said, "They call it the 'American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it!". It's the truth. All my old friends, as well as most of my family are fast asleep, doing what they're told, never questioning anything. There is SO MANY things in this world today that EVERYONE should be questioning. Anyway, I just grew apart from all those people. At my age, it's very complicated for me to try to go out there and make new friends all over again and I've asked myself, "do I really even want to"? No, not really, so I just stick to myself now. I'm a thinker, a brooder. I spend a lot of time thinking and reflecting and people are just noisy. They distract me from my thoughts and productivity. That's kind of how I feel about it now. People are noisy, distracting, draining, exhausting, soul-sucking and toxic. It's very difficult to find people who make me feel better, rather than worse. So, I just stick to myself now.

I love that you are reinventing your channel. There's thousands of reactors out there. It was you two that we were returning to see. Thank you. We know it's a busy time with Jack Jack and all.

Getting older and growing apart from all your friends from when you were younger, is a part of life.

Born in a big family and friends I didn't want. Friends are sometimes demanding, so I'm 69 and still no friends. It's peaceful and quiet just the way I like it. 😇

39 here and no friends. The older you get the less friends matter. Especially if you’ve had negative experiences like betrayal.

Your both great people ! I’d be honored to be friends with you both. Much love from Massachusetts

I'm 56 and continue to shrink my circle by choice = people change, grow apart, get occupied. You guys are awesome! #friends

You might not have a lot of close personal friends, but you have many, many fans. I guarantee that if you had a problem and posted a video saying you needed help, you would get thousands of responses. You have a giant online family. People love you. Keep doing what you're doing

You do not need friends when you have #CouchGang ❤️👊

I am heading for 70 ... I have 3-4 people who I would call friends - these are people that would help out at a moments notice and be there when you are in a pickle. There is an old saying - "a true friend is the one walking in the door when all the others are walking out". Your point re social media is likely a big part of it. People do not seem to know these days how to interrelate on a personal, one-on-one level - there was always some social awkwardness, but it seems to be much more an issue today. Anyway - time to put the phones down and actually look at people and speak face to face.

I'm 40 and I don't have any friends either. It's incredibly lonely and I just tend to keep to myself and be with my dogs

You are always so wonderful to listen to. It surprises me that you don’t have friends.

Internet friends says a lot about our society. People are conditioned to live around social media, stay in their homes and we don't venture out! We need to leave the house. Imagine the friendships my parents still have from school days. We used to make plans right after school or we would call the house phone. Humans are DEVOLVING as each advancement in technology progresses.

Lex, I believe it's the day and age and and the garbage that's been happening. I feel the same. I have lost friends from distance, drifting away, just so many things. Don't take it that it's you or your different. . It's the new way and it's so sad.

The cutest reviewer in the biz dont need fake friends!!! keep doing u lex

You guys are light years ahead of your peers on a maturity level; I’m sure that plays a role.

I'm 62 and never expected to live this long. Alot of my friends are dead from growing up, and one's I had in high school. I am thankful that I have made it this far. I agree with you about people being involved in the platforms of the world 🗺 wide web. I guess we should be thankful for each other and your making a family 👪. Thanks again for the update. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸.

Man. it just gets worse as you get older. You get progressively more isolated. I was in a blissfully happy relationship for over ten years but my gf was my best and only friend,. When that ended I was at zero and that number has never changed. I've lived in the same city my entire life and I know absolutely no one. Meanwhile my dad somehow still had friends he had known since high school right up until he passed away.

Dear Lex, how brave are you to share this. I think you are also helping so many people speaking out. You really touched my heart, again. Love you and God bless you

Welcome to being 30. Lost all my friends as well. Now it's basically myself and my family. I do have friends that call or text me 2 times a year. But I'm enjoying the family life. My family are my best friends.

Just think how happy you made Miss Sweets by going over and spending time with her.

The fact that you have a channel with so many people watching, they get to know you and feel like a pen pal.

Girl you ain't the only one. A lot of it is the times, social media and what not. Anyone who doesn't stay in contact with friends from highschool or there early 20s struggles having friends at 30. Believe me I know. You seem cool though.

This was painfully relatable. Wish I could give you both a hug. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability.

I'm not any kind of therapist, but you learn a thing or two after 30 years as a social worker... what, and more importantly, how y'all share your feelings with one one another is a model for how EVERYONE should communicate with the people they're closest to... honest, sincere, compassionate, deliberate speak is what y'all personify... y'all are beautiful and please know your friendship with each other IS real... y'all are helping more people than you know... I really dig y'all's new format.

Lex, you have the only friend you need sat right next to you. I'm 62 and only have two friends, I only see them once or twice a year. I have my mother, sister, and daughters who I rely on. Lex you have 314K friends on YT - we may not be with you daily in person, but we love you... even though I'm in the UK.

Lex can make friends anywhere. She’s so nice.

You guys could do a cooking show and people will watch, it because both of you are extremely likable.

The fact that you don't have friends is not on you. Over the years watching you and Brad I have to say that you have the most loveable personality. You have always put a smile on my face. And Brad seems to like you a little ;)

Friends and family all have different seasons in their lives,so it's special when you all can get together,and seasons always change,it's built into the universe

I'm 62. Not married. Have 5 siblings and 12 nieces and nephews who are growing fast. I have 5 friends who I can call anytime for anything, and vice versa.I have noticed that those who are from only child families struggle to have friends, If you DO NOT get along and love your family, that is not a good sign, As I have had relationships, the first thing I want to find out is if you get along with your family (mom, dad, brothers, sisters), IF you can't or do not have friends now, as you get older, gets very hard to make NEW friends. And i feel bad for those growing up now. Internet friends are not real friends.,

That is why she is so cool. Not getting bad advice an not being influenced by jerks.

My wife always felt the same through the years. When she does get a friend, they end up being needy and with drama. I never had a need for friends, but they end up getting them, whether I like it or not. My wife doesn't understand that, but I came from a big family and treasure my privacy and personal time. I ask nothing from others and expect the same. My wife is my only real friend and after 34 years of marriage, I am very happy with that!

Thanks for this conversation. There are so many that are experiencing the very same issues, and feel the exact same way! Much Love🤟❤️

It’s odd that the older you get, the fewer friends you have. Part of this is the realization that what you once considered friends are just associations, not really friends. Then your best friend is your dog. Man’s best friend!

I love this conversation, you have no idea how relatable it is

Man I totally get this. I'm 31 and can count maybe 3-4 people as close friends. Only 1 of those I could call and go for a coffee with. The others live abroad. I see old school 'friends' who I haven't spoken to in 10 years on social media and they are all still in their same group of friends they had in school. I was a groomsman at my cousin's wedding recently and all of the other groomsmen were childhood friends of his. Literally since they were 8 years old. It really hit me hard and sometimes it gets to me that I don't have that.

Wow, amazing conversation. Your honesty is really refreshing.

Your situation is amazingly common. It IS a generational thing, and social media has a LOT to do with it. One thing I have learned, though. Even the gregarious people who are surrounded by others, who go to all the parties, in the final analysis, they have a lot of acquaintances, not a lot of friends. You might be surprised how rare true friends really are.

This was so good! So relatable. Thank you for being authentic. Love this

I feel the same way. 28 yrs old. Have a few ppl I call close friends. But they never reach out. It’s always me hitting them up. It’s tough. I feel you. You two are beautiful ppl with a beautiful family. And you have lots of friends here.

It's really hard for me to believe. You BOTH seem to be really good, down to earth people. If we knew each other in person, I'm sure we'd be friends. Just continue being who you are. You'll be fine. Meanwhile, I know you have a bunch of people here who enjoy watching you!

Love how genuine you two are and we love you all!!

I completely relate to this! I never had friends when I was in school. When I was in elementary, I had a next door neighbor that was probably about 30 or so that would take me to the library to get books in the summer. I considered her my best friend. I started working at a young age, so I hung around people much older than I was. Now that I am in my “middle age” years, I can count my true “friends” on one hand (maybe on one finger!). The older I get, the more I realize people who truly care about you are few and far between, so hold them close, treat them well, and keep everyone else at arm’s length. Check out David Goggins talking about friendship. I think he has it figured out.

What an honest whole hearted conversation. I think a lot of people are going through this. If you two lived near me, I would be your friend. You are both awesome.

One of the tough things about aging (right from the start) is less and less friends. But as kids, the bar for friendship is low. As we grow older, our values solidify and that’s a good thing. The friendship bar raises, and a bitter lesson that I’ve learned is that lowering that bar can lead to some horrific damage and emotional trauma. So stay beautiful, even when no one around you is. Keep your boundaries strong, and leave room for only goodness and beauty. There will be lean, quiet times, but remember that’s a good thing!

Sending you both love. I love your videos. You both bring light and joy to us.

I got rid of my "friends" over a decade ago. They weren't evil, just selfish vampires who didn't respect or care for me at all. Now you have to really earn my friendship. My time & energy is precious now that I'm older.

You seem like an amazing person. Both of you do. Once the kiddo gets into school and activities you’ll have lots friends.

I was adopted at 10-Ive never fit in-you and Brad are doing something that puts you in a public eye and many people get competitive-many are jealous-you are obviously smart, pretty, good relationship, and courage on display-you are REAL and it intimidates many people-if too many people start to liking me I know I must be doing something wrong🙂

Very relatable video and thank you for sharing this with all of us, I really appreciate it so much. It's been at least 10 years since I had a friend that's not related to me and sometimes even in my own family I don't get along with too well.

I 1000% relate to you Lexi, you are not alone!

I’m a loner too. My best friends are my kids. 21 and 28. I do have a couple that drags me out to be social and I love them for that. But I’m happy being at home. ✌️😊🦋

I would love to be friends with both of you. This was heartbreaking and heartwarming all in one.

I really like the conversation you two had here. I can relate to Lex a lot which is why it’s really good she opens up about her feelings cuz it lets other people know they’re not alone on their similar feeling. Few friends, complicated family, growing up awkward. Yet her analysis on different songs are very interesting and introspective. A very nice couple here.

This is one of the best conversations. I can empathize.

I hope you both realize a majority of us here call you Friend. You’ve gotten so many of us through difficult situations just by being you and your content. And we will be here to support you both when you need it. When I need a pick me up I always turn on Brad and Lex reactions to Slipknot. Brad scared/confused and Lex jamming out always brings me up.

I’m about 10 years older than you guys. However, out of all the KZfaqrs I watch, Jamel (aka Jamal) and the two of you are the only ones I always felt I’d be good friends with. I know exactly what Lex is talking about when it comes to blunt honesty. If you guys were in my area, I’d definitely hang with you!

I'm 66 and can count all of my friends on 6 fingers...true friends are great, I really enjoy your interpretation of music I grew up listening to...Rock On, Y'all!

That smile is contagious!!! I literally stare at her smile for the majority of the videos. A good smile makes me absolutely happy!

As Jack grows and y'all start getting him involved in school, sports, and other stuff you'll make more friends. Ones that will have more in common with you. Church communities can provide some lasting friendships, too.
