Man is 24 and acting like us regular people arent graduating college and starting careers. It's called growing up.

I personally believe that everything James does from now on will be clouded with a bit of bad intentions. Like you can't just expect everyone to believe you've ditched your way of thinking. Because you apologized. He's clearly not sorry for what he did. He's sorry he got caught

“I’m bored” and “I’m desperate” are scary words when you have a position of power. I don’t agree with Ethan much anymore but he’s right. The DMs are not a place to date/find friends. Not for an influencer like James.

James when you're an adult you have to work with your friends schedule, unscheduled hang out time is rare as hell. Weekends aren't even guaranteed to work for everyone. Not everyone is an influencer with a flexible af schedule. This. Is. Called. Being. An. Adult. Edit: I'm back on being annoyed about this, it took my friends and I 3 days to sort out a day that worked for most of us to have a discord hang out not even an in person hangout!

Not everyone has the amount of money he has. Doing all of those activities every single day costs so much money but he wouldn't know.

James sadly needs to learn that people get older and grow. You start to appreciate the friends that make time for you.

“I’m not complaining.” *continues to complain about not having “regular friends” or a “regular life” when we all know he couldn’t hack that lifestyle.*

James is literally looking for another victim…. He’s literally just desperate/lonely in a very predatory way where the person HAS TO DO what James wants WHEN James wants it. It’s sick.

Sorry but Ethan is right. James is 1000% doing this to lure innocent fans in and then have another victim. James will never change.

“I want amazing people in my life- I already do but I want more” literally sounds like he’s looking for replacements and I’d be pissed if I found out my best friend was doing this shit

When isn’t James in big trouble 😂

So he wants people who don’t have a life and live only to accommodate his personal schedule? 🤨🤨🤨

Tbh if I was one of James' current friends I'd be mad as hell for him posting that publicly XD Like wtf you're gonna call them out (in a way) for not dropping whatever they're doing to hang out with you?

People have jobs and lives that don't revolve around pleasing James?! Shocking

I think the problem is that he doesn’t have a normal job, his schedule is wide open, he doesn’t edit his videos or script them, so he films, reads his emails, and is on his socials all day. Not saying being an influencer is an easy job but when you’re at the level of James, he has someone who does every little job for him. His friends don’t have the same job or have a more traditional job. That’s the problem, he needs to learn how to grow up.

James be like “where my under 18s at that can come chill 24/7 lol” he’s so scary 🥴

Not only the fact that he has a bad past with talking to people on the internet, he is reaching out to his fans to be these new “spontaneous friends”. The power imbalance would be insane if these fans actually meet up with him in person. Because we all know young and impressionable fans; will do ANYTHING to please their favorite influencer/celebrity.

James doesn’t want new friends, he wants people who will be at his every whim. He wants a cult.

James: “I need friends with no lives but all the money” 💀🤦‍♂️

Every time I hear James Charles wants to connect with his fans I have that meme of The Rock giving that look of suspicion in my head💀

james had great friends. he had the twins and emma. ethan is 100% right here. he couldn’t keep his hands off of grayson, constantly sexually harassing both of the twins and was just not a good friend overall to emma or the twins. he clung to views and money. he will never have friends like that again and he knows it.

HOW MANY TIMES IS HE GONNA KEEP GETTING IN “TROUBLE” WTF

James needs to come back down to reality!! Some of us aren't millionaires who don't have to work and can do things spare of the moment, us normies need to work to live, to pay rent, bills and food but if he wants to pay all that for his friends so they can jump through hoops for him.

"I don't care if they're regular or have 0 followers" Homie how out of touch are you? 🤣😭🙃

Lmao "Jame is just looking for someone to escape his bedroom... escape room..." Has me 💀

Its called growing up and having responsibility's. James is the boy who refuses to grow up, and given his early fame and wealth everything has been a party for him.

Drama channels have literally given James advice multiple times on how _not_ to go about dating. What MORE do they need to do?? 👏 •Sign up for celebrity-exclusive dating apps •Have a separate number to give to potential guys •Use code *SPILLY* on Adam and Eve at checkout 💖

God forbid James does find someone. He’s going to be the next Onision or Anna Campbell 😬

I feel like it’s still inappropriate for him to reach out through social media again after the past because it does make him look bad. He needs to consider the consequences of this kind of action. I would like to note though, a friend can be a platonic soulmate.

Imagine your minor son is a fan and thinking that he could be James' soulmate...this is really scary.

I'm 36 and just celebrated my friend birthday after making plans a month in advance. Why? Because we have lives of our own and our own responsibilities. Not all of us have the freedom like he does. I've had the same fore group of friends since I was in middle school and these days real friends are hard to come by. You may not always see each other but it's always a good time when you do.

" I'm looking for a friend who's always available and never says no to me" aka a friend you can manipulate and groom

I completely agree with Ethan, What James is doing wrong knowing his reputation with talking to his fans. I just think people would most definitely see his bad intentions if he was preying on girls instead of boys. People just don't take it as seriously if the victim isn't a woman. I won't be surprised if he get "cancelled" for talking to his male fans inappropriately for the 3rd time.

I think they are avoiding him cuz they dont wanna get caught by association when james gets catfished by an FBI agent

The only type of friends who aren't busy and are down to party at any time are...teenagers

Not defending James, but soulmate doesn't mean romantic relationship. Soulmates could be bestfriends/ a platonic relationship. But knowing that James has a young audience, they might not fully understand "soulmate" as I've seen many adults seeing it as only romantic relationship.

"I don't care if they're regular." James Charles can't find "amazing people" to be best friends with/date because amazing people want nothing to do with people like him. Pretty simple

A friend can be a soul mate. You can multiple soul mates. This has definitely been taken out of context.

The application part😂🤦🏼‍♀️

James likes to friend hop different TikTok groups because that's what has kept his profile and relevancy afloat these last couple years. I think he's about tapped that well dry, though because no one worth a damn over there will even touch him with a 10 foot pole now.

These “people” are not as privileged as James is to have a “no job-job” He can do what he wants when he wants but 90% of the world work regular jobs

There is an easy way James can find people he is looking for... those people ready all the time for his every whim. If he need a "friend" who is always waiting for him and ready for everything... it's called ASSISTANT. Just hire that person and pay them GOOD money! Fiends/soulmates do not work like that! Is he so detached that it is not obvious?! Great vid as always ❤️

Whatever happened to his bestie friend group with Cassie & Laura? I swear they were all like inseparable for years. They enabled his behavior for so long during his scandals too that it led him to be the ego-maniac he is today.

I can’t listen to that clip of James without cracking up at his weird “ugh” moan sounds 😭🤣

40 years old and I click like my life depends on it whenever a SS notification comes through.

Why do I feel like I see this headline at least twice a week

I understand the idea of being lonely and everything, and that it is hard to make new firends, even without a massive following, BUT James "putting out the call" for new friends feels icky. Like even if this attempt is 110% genuine, I wouldn't believe him. Putting aside a MASSIVE social and monetary power imbalence, maybe, James, the reason you don't have these connections is because you we're exposed for being a creep????? Like, I don't want to hang around someone who has done that and seems to not take any issue with it!

one time it's an accident, two times it's a coincidence, three times is a habit.

It’s gotta be hard to know people are there for the right reasons.

I think his feelings are valid in his situation, I just think he needs to go about it a different way. He sounds so out of touch with reality. Maybe if he humbles himself and stop saying "regular people" as if he's not one. Everyone is the same, some just has more money than others.

“I don’t care if they’re regular or have 0 followers” haha this made me🤨

James: Submit your applications The application: Must be a 10, preferably 11, Cute, white, twink, 18 to 18.5, straight or straight acting, with a girlfriend preferred Also James: Why don’t I have any friends!

The way he said “ I don’t care if they’re regular” MADE ME CRINGE 😭😭🥴🥴

ethan is right and i’m really surprised you didn’t talk more about james’ past actions. it seemed like every time you mentioned james’ past you were speaking on things that were done wrong to him. he’s the danger, not the other way around. this is weird behavior, no other influencer is doing things like this.

Not very often I agree with Ethan but on this I do agree with Ethan, wouldn't be surprised if soon there will be another person calling James out for inappropriate DM's

I feel like James has intentions, I do agree meeting and making internet friends is really fun but like you said he’s James Charles. So much more power over the so called “regular” people he wants to make friends with. I think he wants to have a bit of control.

I really feel that James is looking for a boyfriend through his stories and the narrative of “soulmate” because let’s be real considering his clout chasing ways he won’t just “hang out” with a random person when his dms must be flooded with influencers, he wants a boyfriend o hook up who he can influence with his power and money. What I think is astounding is that no-one is there to stop him from making these stories, at this point he has a pr team or management team of sort to curate and rehabilitate his public image. He needs therapy and to turn off his phone imo

He hasn’t learned his lesson and until he faces some consequences or some type of therapy, he will not stop!! 1000% with Ethan!!

James is like Peter Pan he doesn't want to grow up and lives in this fantasy world but of course, Peter Pan doesn't go searching for 18-year-olds to date.

This is just confirmation that James‘s career is on flappianna

The one time ..at least in the past few years that I can finally agree with Ethan 😳

Also girl I literally live for your videos so thank you truly 😘

Im literally in college and me and my friends schedule everything. Were only spontaneous on the weekends IF one of us isnt working. Were busy people with busy schedules🙄

James just wants to meet young boys

Not calling everyone else "Regulars".....

I mean there’s nothing wrong with scheduling or pre planning for things because sometimes people may need to take into account about the weather or if the person they are scheduling for things way way well in advance and make sure everyone is ready. Idk why James may act this way sure you can be spontaneous and look for fun but sometimes people enjoy making sure the weather is perfect and that our schedules all match up for activities

Once adults have busy schedules, the vast majority don’t want to randomly run off with you just because you have codependency issues. Like you said, this can come with age (though some of us have always preferred a plan lol) James is old enough to figure out how to spontaneously have fun by himself but he doesn’t because he rather keep trying the same shit in different ways than work on that. He said he was desperate like that was something he realized he should work on yet… Even if this wasn’t about finding a hookup, he could never be in a healthy friendship with a random fan because of the same reason he can if he dated them - the power imbalance. I mean I knew he wouldn’t change but it’s the way he flaunts it like people won’t notice that continue to surprise me. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Then again, he does still have fans so clearly some people are buying this bull 😂

I mean, are we even surprised at this point? 🤨🤷🏾‍♀️

He sounds very ungrateful tbh…I wouldn’t wanna be his friend after seeing this video if I were one of those friends he mentioned.

2:06 to skip the ad

James needs to stop using his platform for this shit - If he wants “spontaneous friends” he should go out and spontaneously meet them….

LOVE UR VIDEOS QUEEN KEEP IT UP!

If i had such a hard time with relationships I would not keep posting about it on the internet lmao.

your videos make my day fr

Soul mate does not always equate to love

Probably at the playground, James. 😳 Some people are grown and got responsibilities or maybe they just don't subscribe to your predatory behavior...

I love how he says regular 😭😭 Like we're muggles and he's a wizard or something

How is this a bad thing? I would love to have a friend like that too and the ability to do the activities

Jeeeez I’m early was watching deatnote but I’ve always got time for James tea ✨💅🏼

I have had skillshare for like 3 years now and I love it! But not James Charles 😂🤣😂🤣

Lmao not everyone can just get up and go 💀 like he literally sits down and could do nothing and is still making money 🙄

I feel like what he’s saying isn’t bad BUT because he’s James Charles and he has a bad record with his social life and should very much be behind bars… he shouldn’t be doing this and is just begging for more trouble that his career really doesn’t need

I feel like Nikita Dragun hops around friend groups too lol

It’s always the same few people always in the drama !

i can’t believe ethan is saying all this when he knows youtube loves james charles. gotta say i respect him for that’s

I thruthfully feel like Ethan is right. Why is he telling young kids to email him. And if he doesn’t think YOUNG KIDS are going to email him.. than he’s not as bright as he makes himself out to be…I really think it has predatory vibes all over it.

More proof he hasnt matured in years

I have always said my bff was my soulmate much more than my husband is. James is so use to the you tube instagram life he doesn’t understand that non influencers have to be responsible and jobs to pay the bills.

i actually do believe he wants genuine and real people to hang out! when you’re famous and have money it’s really hard trusting people, you’ll never know if that friend you love love you back and thats actually sad… i think he’s just desperate to find real people

Most other adults need to work for a living so getting up to play laser tag in the middle of the day isn't an option...It's called Adulting. Its what adults do. He needs to grow up.

I know where James can find friends... JAIL

For every James video five years are off my life

So he wants someone with no social life, hobbies, or job, someone who’s life revolves around waiting for him to hang out. Insane how he thinks. He’s so messed up in the head.

By the looks of James recent videos view count, he’s going to be “regular” soon too.

James babe… You should be more focused on being grateful that you still *have* friends in the industry instead of worrying about their very busy schedules

James sweetie your friends are booked and busy please get a part time job

These people aren't available because most of us have jobs and have to work 5 to 6 days a week.

Understandably in James’s situation. Nobody wants to be lonely and money can’t buy happiness and that’s clearly showing. Secondly being called a “Normie” because you don’t have thousands of followers and just another number on your channel. Ethan and the rest of these “KZfaqrs” thinking like that. Need to get over themselves.

I might be in the minority here but I do think the life of someone with big following can be very lonely.. I'm not condoning what he has done and it's not my place to discarge him from any accusation or behaviour but I do understand the feeling of trying to find new people to connect with and not knowing how to do it
