I think that never in history it has been easy to find neither true love nor true friendship, but something that helps along the way is to sincerely and indiscriminately be the kind of person you want, the one that is truly loyal, truly cares, truly worries. If you want something in someone else, have it in yourself too.
We’re born alone and die alone, but along the way, we need someone who understands us. Maybe your soulmate isn’t where you live-sometimes, we have to travel, explore, and enjoy life while meeting new people. Stay patient, focus on yourself, and the right connections will come.
yep . I found its hard to have friends after graduation from university. Most of classmates go back to their each one's hometown. And its hard to make new friend when u work and immerse into the society
Worst is when your parents don't care about you. The only people obligated to show you love care only about themselves, and keep saying you are not enough (regardless of how good you actually are).
This man talks facts. Its true, and dont tell me to love myself more and be more confident to get a relationship, dont give me that shit. I hate it when people say that, cause its hard bro its hard to make the first move and it hurts to get rejected over and over again, even harder if you dont look pretty or handsome. Not only that you have to think if you're stable enough to last a relationship if you're competent enough to be in one. So many factors to consider, and its sad bro.
I felt lonely in my 30s to the point of agony. Then i got into a series of stormy relationships and one night stands over several years only to find out that i hated living with women. I so craved for my space, my freedom to exist without being criticized or judged. Now that i am single in my 50s for the past 10 years, those feelings of loneliness have completely disappeared. I feel great in my own space and im happy with my accomplishments because I dont have to share them with anyone and i can do anything i want. I consider myself an average guy with strong desires to get what i want. But, i did have to settle for what i could get and enjoyed it very much.
I blame the modern lifestyles and roles that we were given since we were children for this though. Categorization of peoples in societies increased way too much with globalist (modern Western imperialist) mindset that has spread. It created grouping and even getting lonelier for some people that didn't want to fit in or can not fit in. For example I wasn't a kid that was raised in modern roles, any kind of which also consists of gender roles which doesn't exist in my culture due to being steppe nomadic culture but people surounding me were raised heavily with Western typa gender roles which came with globalism which is modern Western imperliasm. I've always had a hard time trying to fit in and talking to girls as a girl but I couldn't understand them due to I was raised according to my traditions and I wasn't raised to be like a stereotyoical a "girl" or a "boy" globalist view of categorization of people, this year I became fully girly-girly finally which took me 2-3 years for me to understand other girls but I left it and I stopped actually obeying to categorization of people and globalism. I returned to who I was and who I AM. So, never blame yourself for society, It's just enforcing Indo-European cultural values to other ethnicities throughout globalism even though sedentary people tend to have similar roles in society but with different values.
You get used to being by yourself. It really depends on your personality. I am the kind of person that can work in a lab 12 to 15 hours a day. I have Asperger Syndrome, so being alone is no big deal to me.
Same here. I try so hard, and even when it feels like I'm making progress, they just pull the rug out from underneath me. They'll even tell me straight up: "You're an awesome dude. You're such a good friend." And they'll put their hand on my shoulder. Yet are they ever there for me? No. Never. Even though I'm always there for them. It hurts so bad. I just wish they'd quit lying.
@@darkshadows-sd9zh Yeah. I'm 27 and it's near impossible to make friends. Doesn't matter how relatable, funny, charismatic, kind, and loyal I am.

I want to say that there is truth to what he said but men are mainly prioritized in society for financial and status You cannot really skate by has a pretty man just off of being beautiful or cute unless you're dating men Because yes there are women who definitely will prioritize looks more what they honestly prioritize more than what is that I really just got done watching videos of them referring to men who are attractive but broke has freaky bums And I feel like when it comes to wanting financial and emotional support they will just tend to fuk down What I've seen them skip out on supermodels because they felt like they would cheat Like the main premise of biphobia is oh I have to compete with the whole world I don't want to deal with that 11:41 I want to say it's easier to make friends when you're an attractive man because straight men don't operate like women where they make friends because they're attractive like that's something that girls do
The real truth is : if u don't have nothing better to offer, u will not make any friends. Most relationships are based on interests. This is how our fu ck wolrd works.
Go to SEA, theres still a lot of traditional women there in the provinces and villages if you want a genuine relationship, though the numbers start to decline nowadays
Social Media and Smartphones have ruined relationships in general. A decade ago, every relationship is just living in the moment and enjoying. Now everyone is just narcissistic, always looking for the next best thing, everyone always thinks "they deserve better" and bail out of relationships when they get faced with reality that being in a relationship is not so simple like you see in fantasy movies. Add that to the neverending increase of inflation and worsening economy, and smart people just say f*ck this and give up on relationships altogether because it's simply too much stress.
Every now and then I get new opportunities to make new friends. I don’t want them. First off I’m not a good one, second I don’t want the responsibility or attention. I’m married and that’s enough. Once you know who will be there at your worst and stick with you. Then you will understand this. Try this… don’t reach out at all to anyone. Wait for a call or text. It’s not about the time because maybe that person calls you ten years later. When they don’t even do that then you know you just weren’t that important to them. Remember, the phone works both ways.
Kids are taught the goals of their parents. But that doesn't work because parents are a different generation. You have to create your own goals based on the realistic possibilities of the time you live in. You may have to get used to being lonely. Guys who are non-social to begin with have an advantage. The world isn't going to change to suit your wants. If you are unhappy, you are going to have to change your wants to suit the world.
Even though I’m a woman, I understand everything you’ve said. It’s true that men often face more challenges in life because they are expected to be providers and pursue women. It’s also true that attractive people tend to have more opportunities. It’s just unfortunate that many people consider themselves unattractive, even though they’re not. They might not look like those on Instagram, but most people on the street don’t look like that either. Social media makes us compare ourselves to unrealistic standards, which can make us feel miserable, even though our lives are much like anyone else's. This pressure can cause us to shy away from connections and opportunities because we subconsciously believe we don’t deserve them due to our appearance or status. It’s sad because there are many kind and loyal people out there, but because of a few bad experiences, we often start to believe that most people are unkind.
I think most people who consider themselves unattractive are usually the people who want friends and relationships but get turned down. When you constantly are getting rejected who will you believe? the girl on the youtube comment section who claims you arent unattractive, or the 100 girls who turned you down irl for not being their type?
@@kniviz510 Girls can sometimes be picky when it comes to dating. But just because many people find a man attractive doesn't mean every girl will feel the same. Everyone has their own preferences-some might prefer different hair colors, a beard, or unique features. What really matters is the care and effort you put into yourself. It’s hard to expect someone to be attracted to you if you don’t take care of yourself. Relationships are a two-way street, and it's important to put in effort for the person you're interested in. With billions of girls out there, there’s always someone for everyone. And if you still haven’t found the right one yet, sometimes it helps to to adjust your standards.
Alot of people dont got hobbies anymore if they do its all about following and not being theirself blame social media and pop culture for that and thats one of the reasons i stay in my lane and make money and find new ways or new things to do it might be hard to do but we gotta try
