The biggest issue I've run into is most of my friends are either only interested in going out and drinking or they are married. I sometimes wonder how heavily motivated is my drive for success by the fact that making friends seems like a harder task
You are not alone my friend, I am experiencing the same issue in my life. My biggest drawback now is that I’ve allowed myself to be consumed in getting my business operational and successful, not having much luck while yearning over my distant friends who have started a family of their own.
I recently started organizing activities (ex. escape rooms, top golf, etc) to try and make new friends, but unfortunately it's not the same. Mostly feels like its what people say yes to when all of their drinking/clubbing plans fall through
Can relate a lot. Finding people to bounce off ideas and be peers is challenging for sure. Networking and finding is a skill. The internet and social media was super useful once I started to actually reach out to people 🤙🏼🙏🏻 great vid
Not me: I'm Alone, but not *Lonely* - I love having my own personal space to dive into creating my dreams. I have a group of friends whenever I feel social or want some fun with others. But I never feel lonely.
Some people with certain childhood trauma can feel lonely because they perhaps had a narcissistic parent who didn't allow them to be themselves independently. They were only an extension of that parent while treated very arrogantly. Their healthy independence was never supported. Therefore they never developed "themselves" in the process. When they are alone they feel an extreme form of loneliness because there is no self present, there is only a toxic introject of a parent, which can a massive inner critique bullying the person in the mind. They only feel alive with other people who can love them or tell them something nice or that they matter. They can't do it for themselves by themselves. These people usually striking for very high achievements because that's how they can achieve the constant interest of others to avoid the toxic loneliness. A bit of psychology.
I think I'm at the stage of trying to convince myself that networking doesn't have to be a waste of time😅 it does seem like the toughest things to get going are the most likely to develop exponentially, making them worthwhile. Great video again Leon👏
Yeah that's usually how it works... whatever is worthwhile doesn't show too many results quickly. The beginning is the hardest but it is so worth it. Nothing will ever bring you more happiness, fulfillment and meaning in your life that the right relationships 🙂
I completely resonate with this. By 33 I have 5 university degrees, and now a dentist on $150k/year. While I made lots of new friends at Uni, post-uni it’s become more lonely as I’ve had to disregard “friends” who were anchors (holding me back) rather than wind in my sails. It happens man 🤔
Depends on where he is from. Student debt is mostly an American thing, in many countries, there are free public universities or at least quite affordable private ones. My country (Brazil) is no standard for great universities, but I don't know personally a single person with Student Debt. It just doesn't exist. Countrywide, those who have ends up being quite easy to pay, not in any way close to what happens in the US.
You are so right. I'm from the US and it can be challenging sometimes. When you have a family and job it make things a lot harder. They make it harder. Their about money. Sad.......
I just consulted my therapist about this because it sucks. The more I am searching and acting on self improvement, the more that I am feeling lost and alone from my peers. I thought I was going insane because everytime I am socializing I felt like I am wearing a mask. Its comforting to finally hear that what I am experiencing is normal. More videos on this please 😆😆 so far ur the only youtuber that talked about this issue.
Only at times when you realize not everyone is as motivated as you, but it helps when you put yourself out there or happen to be doing something where there's a sense of community involved.
Wow! Just wow. This is exactly how I feel. I was never able to discribe how I feel about me and my friends, but this is exactly how I feel. I have read all the comments and LOVEEEEE the community! I love all the like-minded, but still open-minded, people here. I really hope this community is something that can grow, so every lone wolf can click with someone eventually!
This is exactly how I feel. Thanks for making this video, fellow creator here. People around me probably think I’m crazy or a workaholic 😂 I’m always working, or learning things to fulfill my creative itch.
This really hit me hard. Since I started university and moved into my own apartment, I have been lonely. It has become better over time because now I have some friends and a girlfriend, but it still hits me sometimes. The thing is, I have such different interest than them. All the people I know, are only worried about the next weekend and partying, while I enjoy studying and trying to figure out how to make money. I enjoy investing, I work in a startup besides my studies, and I enjoy reading. The funny thing about your video is about being a lone wolf which I can relate to so much - I have a wolf tattooed on my back, exactly because of the symbolism of being able to survive alone until you meet your pack. I have never really spoken about my loneliness so thank you for letting me know, that there are people out there, who has the same feeling as me! Great video, cheers from Denmark :)
Its help me to that u shared that , maby in your country is better than mine cuz im from iraq here ppl care less in studing and about make company but im not rly sad anymore cuz im working on my idea that will make much money
man, everything you said was 100% equivalent to what I've been experiencing the last two years. It's good to know there are other people out there who feel the same way as you. It could be a lonely road but it doesn't have to. You just need to open up and you'll find dozens (if not hundreds) of people who are on the same path as you, and form some of the best relationships of your life. Thanks for the video, Leon
What do you guys think about making a discord in order to gather all of us, passionate about self improvement and being something in life, by chatting, making calls and sharing opinions with each others? I will create one if you 're interested in join just respond to this comment with your nickname!
"Of course I couldn't just go, I had to set a goal" haha I can relate to this. Thanks for the video. I have had very similar experiences of feeling like I've been leading a double life and feeling lonely in a room of people. Loneliness has been a huge one for me too but admitting that this is how I have been feeling has actually helped me focus on the quality of my relationships and being more open and honest with myself and other people who want that.
It gets to a point for me personally where i would hang out with friends just to not sit in my room alone, but the moment we meet up and start to talk im already hating myself for doing so because the conversations will never get me to the next stage where i want to be, its probably the most idiotic thing ever, craving the interaction so much yet hating every moment of it
This video feels like it was tailor-made for me. I just found out your channel through your other video on spending 50k on fake gurus and stumbled upon this one. I seriously thank you for having made this video. I'm at that stage where I have zero entrepreneurial friends around me and at times it really does feel lonely, even though I love my solitude. Your video was one of the few that really added something useful to me. Thanks a lot man, and never stop doing what you're doing. You just got a new subscriber and you can be sure I'll be here to congratulate you when you hit your 100k and then your 1 million subscribers ;) Um abraço do Rio, Deus te abençoe!
Currently at stage two. The closer i get to my drive and passion, the harder it gets for me to connect with people who are not on that same trajectory. It's really weird, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. still, I can't wait to find great people who are as obsessed with living up to their full potential as I have become.

That is basically what I have been experiencing since Covid broke out. I was like "someone is talking about what I think about all the time". Great content bud. Keep it up.
POV: me feeling lonely and realising I don’t have friends, scrolling through TH-cam to find an explanation for it or something that can take my mind temporarily. Here we go! Thanks for the video!! It makes me feel so right and going in the right direction!! Nice to know I’m not the only one who feels the same
I fully understand how important is networking and meeting new people and gaining friends but i find myself increasingly comfortable being alone most of the time which is scary but comforting at the same time.
This is what I needed! I have been a solo entrepreneur for 12 years, I'm 32 now. All I want is to be able to talk with more people who are hustling and are as ambitious as I am!
Introverts are underrated and extroverts are overrated. Everyone tries to convince you having more friends is what you should strive for and that simply is not true. I have found having fewer friends to keep up and maintain is actually way more enjoyable than when I had more friends and felt obligated to then have to go out with them when I really didn’t want to.
I found thinking of friends in terms of numbers whether that be a lot or a little can help but not help as much in thinking of friends in terms of how meaningful is it to you
I definitely resonate to this.. I’ve been on and off, but still going through a “life improvement” journey where I’m trying to eat more healthy, improve my knowledge and understanding of the world and more. Sometimes the things I used to bond with my friends just doesn’t hit the same to me anymore. It sucks because sometimes I try to filter myself to fit in.
Woah, this video really popped out in my recommendations and I couldn’t relate more. I am also a young guy chasing dreams and I belive loneliness is innevitable at some point and being misunderstood seems like the most likely outcome. I am actually feeling the way you described and I’d love having friends with the same mentality as you. A community of “misunderstood” and hard-working people that find it hard to find like-minded friends is truly needed. Great video, I’d love to become part of the ecosystem haha
I started to feel it very frequently since the last year. As more I become successful, as much my wealth is growing as more and more I am becoming lonely, even in a crowded room. And it’s scary.
Thanks I Really needed this! I'm from India n I just started a business months ago , It's doing good so far ! But every exhausting week of work I wanted someone just to sit there and listen to me , but whenever I talked with my friends , i.was talking about ideas n business when they were only interested in beer n bi*ches . So thanks bro for clearing my vision 💗
This. Video. Is everything in my heart right now. My heart is breaking because I'm completely disconnected from everyone I used to love. But I know I need to keep walking my path, just like everyone else with dreams. Thank you for this. Thank you for your video. Thank you for your life. 🙏🏾❤️
Waow man, you said it so right, it's like I'm discovering some truth about myself. I truly feel everything what you said. Really, thank you ! You gave me a lot of hope.
Wow, incredible storytelling from the heart. Can totally relate to everything you explained. I also used meetup groups when coping with the loneliest and darkest period of my life. Really helped to connect with others that share the same core values.
I just broke up with my boyfriend and ended my friendship with my best friend of five years. I am turning towards my future now, and this video speaks volumes to me.
this is exactly how i feel Im pretty young and ive been improving by jump roping for long amounts of time a day but the more i do this the more i loose connection with my friends at school its been so distant
Interesting video, however, I find the older I get the more i treasure time to myself and being alone. I am older than you and was in a relationship with someone for over 12 years. Although there were great times being with someone it meant you lost a bit of yourself as you took on more of their interests and friends and become less you. I see people in relationships, who have kids, and who have tons of friends and acquaintances. They are always having to do so many things they do not like doing. It is like they have lost their own identity and just become part of the people around them. I admire and find the individualist going his or her own way much more interesting and at peace than the person who is swept up in the crowd. Once i no longer had my relationship and stopped trying to hang out with the work gang and became an individualist my life became so much more interesting. I no longer care or watch or listen to the popular TV shows and music everyone else does. I find my own content like this video on TH-cam. I seek out experiences based on my own interests that are not influenced by others. Be careful what you wish for, so many young people want tons of friends and contacts. Then once they get them, they become so overburdened by them spending all their time and energy trying to maintain them.
Well Leon.. you're that person that I listen to that I don't know personally. (would love to meet you) I found your channel a few days ago, and haven't stopped watching. Thank you.
I realise that I only felt lonely because I knew that the people that I was currently around could not relate to me. I think that now it’s harder to make friends because you’re so focused on a higher purpose for yourself that you want more purpose driven friends. But then you come to the reality that not many people are purpose driven and not many people are on the type of time as you are. But I’m hoping that eventually I run into someone that has the same mentality as me that I can both learn from and also enjoy my time with.
I have never related more to a TH-cam video before, I truly appreciate this content and in all honesty needed that reassurance and relation. God bless you brother ❤️
Times are tuff . There is one thing we all need and it is each other. Nothing great can be done alone . I am walking proof of overcoming many many many challenges in my life. I've struggled I've starved I've froze like I said times are tough in the news darker days I prayed and wished and hope somebody would say something to me and notice that I've been in pain and noticed that I was struggling. But all I was faced with was denial and shutdowns. I have so much to offered to the 🌍 and just need that one chance. But I will create that chance from my sufferings and turn that into something beautiful to share with everyone. I stumbled across this video on TH-cam and I watched the entirety of it. There's a lot of great things this gentleman said in a lot of you should pay attention. Apply yourself and good things will happen deny yourself and nothing will happen. It starts within
Wow! I am amazed to find that there are other people with the same vision as me. I have been actually trying different methods for finding people virtually who have the same values with and can build a relationship with. One of my goals is to scale it, so that it is easier for people to find each other. As always thank you for the amazing content!
Thanks Leon! This makes so much sense, I've been trying to connect with people only to find out that I'm doing it all wrong, looking for them in the wrong place, trying to open conversations they're not really interested in. So thanks for sharing this video, liked and subscribed!
The road to success is often a lonely one. It was a hard left turn to rebuild my social life after years of intense study. But it’s possible, and it’s so worth it. Don’t grind forever, there’ll be nobody to celebrate with.
Holy fuck, when you put that headphone in…..I almost cried. I’ve spent the last 5 years building a financially successful business, and I totally started feeling extremely isolated and lonely. I did take up a hobby, which involved meeting up with people outside of my “work”, and that’s been huge for my mental health.
Love it! Experiencing the exact same thing, this qs just keeps haunting me all the time but so glad I found such a precise answer... honestly I didn't expect anyone to make a vid about this qs or even have anyone else experience the same thing but when I saw your vid about how u lost your money n bounced back, u talked about making frnz n that really inspired me n motivated me to work even harder on my goals cuz I knew that I can always fix my social life n connect with like-minded people once I'm where I wanna be, and this video is the cherry on top. Thank you sooo muchhh Leon!!! I wish I could meet you or talk to you but your channel's prolly gonna blow up soon n you won't even see this comment, but thanksss a lot anyways I hope the community turns out to be amazing!!! ❤️❤️
This is the first of video if yours that I'm watching. I almost cried when you described the feeling of being the lonely guy in this lonely road. Thank you, my imaginary friend. 😅 I'm feeling less lonely now.
Ah I'm so glad I came across your videos they are so relatable! I'm highly ambitious but I'm also just into being incredibly normal LOL! The whole pumped up ambitious, fist pump type stuff is definitely not for me. But I love your suggestions in this video, I'd love to connect with more like minded people, I'm yet to find my wolf pack haha!
Broooo whaaaat. The youtube algo is actually insane. This recommendation couldn't have come at a better time. One of the best, most targeted videos I've ever watched. Had been really frustrated with my content today, and didn't have anyone to talk about it with. Literally had just finished watching a Joe Rogan pod, a garyvee video, and was going through videos on entrepreneur tips and crypto investing, and boom get shown this gem. Thank you man. I hope all is well! I'll definitely be exploring the channel from here!
Ain’t nobody understands your grind because they don’t have the and experience as you. Some people will never understand why I want to be a billionaire or hundred millionaire. I want large amounts of money so I can build housing for the mentally ill and drug addicted and make it easy to get it into. My whole childhood I went through different trauma from watching my dad relapse every single year on hard drugs to being bullied for the shape of my head when I was a kid. The fire in me burns deep and brings a lot of ambition. I don’t necessarily feel lonely all the time but I definitely do sometimes. This video really resonated with me and I appreciate you posting it. A lot of my friends just smoke weed and relax. I also have friends that are high honor students that are constantly working. There’s the whole spectrum tbh but it’s amazing what patience can do. The world will give you the answers. Being happy and content by yourself is just realizing how bad you could really be suffering.
I would definitely be interested in attending a meetup with entrepreneurial people that want more out of life. Are you working on that right now, or do you hope that people find each other in the comments?
I've been feeling that horrible loneliness lately since I started working on my personal development and started my business. At the beginning I was still hanging out with my old friends but now I don't see them anymore because they don't excite me anymore, I feel really sad about that right now! and your video gave me a lot of great ideas to start building a new circle...You are amazing! Big hugs from Colombia!
After all the researches i made for years to define why i’m feeling like that. I lost hope. I really felt like i’m the only one who felt this way. So i stopped searching because all the videos and all the blogs repeated the same thing on and in. Now all of a sudden this video appears. I finally got my answer. I’m grateful for your presence.
I just moved to a new state this year. And I am starting my own content creation businesses, and I can relate to this 100%. It’s sad, and the worst truth I’m fearing to come to, is that all of them are going to be there for their result but for the actual work, they have no idea.
Wow, I felt like you spoke to my soul. I am in the same boat, I am either working from home, listening to or reading books or listening to good thinkinkers and I find myself filtering things around people and most people bore me. I enjoy discussing ideas, investing, crypto etc and most people aren't into that.
I am exactly at this level right now. Feeling lonely. I feel like people around me cannot be my true friends. They should be someone like me who has willing to develop with big dreams and goals. Thanks for the video I feel different watching this video knowing there people out there who have been experiencing the situation I am in right now.
Ok Leon, do you have a facebook or telegram group set up already? Would be happy to join and help grow a community of young ambitious guys. I've been doing business online for a few years while living in europe and asia, and met a lot of cool people, but I think only two of the whisky kind :) I organized meetups in Da Nang, Berlin and Lisbon last year
I like how its a year later this video came out, and i get circled without warning, MY GOOD SIR YOU ARE A MENACE TO SOCIETY!!! Love the video by the way.
This resonates waaay to much with me. But I think one thing you need to realise is if you want to make friends you cant really expect them to have the same ambitions as you do. What you are trying to look for is a business partner. The most important thing when looking to make new friends is to look for common interests and hobbies. That could be gaming, paintball, hiking, working out, etc. You will just naturally spend a lot of time with these people.
Wow this is relatable. My ambitions really keep me from enjoying the life I am living right now because Im not being myself in front of people that are important to me.
*honestly this is a youtube treasure*
yes, agree!
True, dealing with the same problem 😅
True!
This entire channel is a treasure. Love this guy
Absolutely right
Holly shit this resonates so much
Me too
TOTALLY!

IKR. The wavelength, amplitude and phase, they all match up.
The biggest issue I've run into is most of my friends are either only interested in going out and drinking or they are married. I sometimes wonder how heavily motivated is my drive for success by the fact that making friends seems like a harder task

@@jasonconley6727 at least all of us watching this video can relate lol. We’re lonely but not alone
im the only one of my friends who went to college and now i spend all my time alone.
I recently started organizing activities (ex. escape rooms, top golf, etc) to try and make new friends, but unfortunately it's not the same. Mostly feels like its what people say yes to when all of their drinking/clubbing plans fall through
Don’t try to force having friends, learn to enjoy time alone with yourself. Then you will attract friends that you actually may enjoy.
Wow, this hit a bit different. Thank you for making this video homie.
I know the feeling too well man. its hard finding friends who get the grind
So true 😅
Whats your socials bro? 😂
This video is amazing, man; instead of JUST being motivational, you're actually helping people. Keep doing what your doing! 🙏🏽
Thanks I sure will!
Can relate a lot. Finding people to bounce off ideas and be peers is challenging for sure. Networking and finding is a skill. The internet and social media was super useful once I started to actually reach out to people 🤙🏼🙏🏻 great vid

No.
That is basically what I have been experiencing since Covid broke out. I was like "someone is talking about what I think about all the time". Great content bud. Keep it up.
POV: me feeling lonely and realising I don’t have friends, scrolling through TH-cam to find an explanation for it or something that can take my mind temporarily. Here we go! Thanks for the video!! It makes me feel so right and going in the right direction!! Nice to know I’m not the only one who feels the same
I fully understand how important is networking and meeting new people and gaining friends but i find myself increasingly comfortable being alone most of the time which is scary but comforting at the same time.
Thanks for being so vulnerable and honest about your experiences bro, it helps a lot
This is what I needed! I have been a solo entrepreneur for 12 years, I'm 32 now. All I want is to be able to talk with more people who are hustling and are as ambitious as I am!
"Ambition makes you lonely"
Me as an introvert with no friends: OMG, I'm so ambitious!
Introverts are underrated and extroverts are overrated. Everyone tries to convince you having more friends is what you should strive for and that simply is not true. I have found having fewer friends to keep up and maintain is actually way more enjoyable than when I had more friends and felt obligated to then have to go out with them when I really didn’t want to.
I found thinking of friends in terms of numbers whether that be a lot or a little can help but not help as much in thinking of friends in terms of how meaningful is it to you
This is possibly the most relatable video on TH-cam.
" Life is about the experiences you have with the people you love " this is different
Damn. This is really the best video I have seen in a while. Happy I discovered you and I hope the algorithm will make its job to promote your channel!
Thanks ❤️

I definitely resonate to this.. I’ve been on and off, but still going through a “life improvement” journey where I’m trying to eat more healthy, improve my knowledge and understanding of the world and more. Sometimes the things I used to bond with my friends just doesn’t hit the same to me anymore. It sucks because sometimes I try to filter myself to fit in.
This is a true gem. Thank you so much for treating this topic the way you did it here! Absolutely relatable.
One of the beauties of the Internet is it helps you find your tribe. Great video!
So true! Especially for weirdos like us who are always after big goals 😝
Woah, this video really popped out in my recommendations and I couldn’t relate more. I am also a young guy chasing dreams and I belive loneliness is innevitable at some point and being misunderstood seems like the most likely outcome. I am actually feeling the way you described and I’d love having friends with the same mentality as you. A community of “misunderstood” and hard-working people that find it hard to find like-minded friends is truly needed. Great video, I’d love to become part of the ecosystem haha
Totally true
People are at different static levels. If you are ambitious, you want to climb to different levels you will leave people behind.
"I used to listen to people who inspired me". Now you're one of those people, my friend
I cannot believe how much I resonate with this. I felt like an idiot, different from everyone around me. I am so happy I found this channel!
This is exactly how I feel social wise as a current highschooler. I simply can’t find someone either the same mindset?
Exactly the same experience here! If you want to connect, lmk your Instagram, I’d love to be in touch with good people!
Yeah and it sucks when you get influenced to get off the grind by beer friends

I started to feel it very frequently since the last year. As more I become successful, as much my wealth is growing as more and more I am becoming lonely, even in a crowded room. And it’s scary.
Damn this hits hard for me right now. Thanks for posting this man
As I say: Whisky can never dissapoint you! Good video Leon! Love your honesty and no BS!
I can relate heavily to your experiences. Tried thr meetup app and groups etc but still struggling. So, definitely not alone on this one...
Thanks I Really needed this! I'm from India n I just started a business months ago , It's doing good so far ! But every exhausting week of work I wanted someone just to sit there and listen to me , but whenever I talked with my friends , i.was talking about ideas n business when they were only interested in beer n bi*ches . So thanks bro for clearing my vision 💗
This. Video. Is everything in my heart right now. My heart is breaking because I'm completely disconnected from everyone I used to love. But I know I need to keep walking my path, just like everyone else with dreams. Thank you for this. Thank you for your video. Thank you for your life. 🙏🏾❤️
This is me right now, I’ve been crying all day I’ve lost everyone close to me 😢
Waow man, you said it so right, it's like I'm discovering some truth about myself. I truly feel everything what you said. Really, thank you ! You gave me a lot of hope.
Wow, incredible storytelling from the heart. Can totally relate to everything you explained. I also used meetup groups when coping with the loneliest and darkest period of my life. Really helped to connect with others that share the same core values.
I just broke up with my boyfriend and ended my friendship with my best friend of five years. I am turning towards my future now, and this video speaks volumes to me.
this is exactly how i feel Im pretty young and ive been improving by jump roping for long amounts of time a day but the more i do this the more i loose connection with my friends at school its been so distant
You just gained a new subscriber, this video epitomizes what I’m going through right now I really appreciate it
Interesting video, however, I find the older I get the more i treasure time to myself and being alone. I am older than you and was in a relationship with someone for over 12 years. Although there were great times being with someone it meant you lost a bit of yourself as you took on more of their interests and friends and become less you. I see people in relationships, who have kids, and who have tons of friends and acquaintances. They are always having to do so many things they do not like doing. It is like they have lost their own identity and just become part of the people around them. I admire and find the individualist going his or her own way much more interesting and at peace than the person who is swept up in the crowd. Once i no longer had my relationship and stopped trying to hang out with the work gang and became an individualist my life became so much more interesting. I no longer care or watch or listen to the popular TV shows and music everyone else does. I find my own content like this video on TH-cam. I seek out experiences based on my own interests that are not influenced by others. Be careful what you wish for, so many young people want tons of friends and contacts. Then once they get them, they become so overburdened by them spending all their time and energy trying to maintain them.
Well Leon.. you're that person that I listen to that I don't know personally. (would love to meet you) I found your channel a few days ago, and haven't stopped watching. Thank you.
The fact is intelligent people hides themselves from others that the others with same vibes are so rare to found around.
This made me want to go global on Tinder 😂😂
I realise that I only felt lonely because I knew that the people that I was currently around could not relate to me. I think that now it’s harder to make friends because you’re so focused on a higher purpose for yourself that you want more purpose driven friends. But then you come to the reality that not many people are purpose driven and not many people are on the type of time as you are. But I’m hoping that eventually I run into someone that has the same mentality as me that I can both learn from and also enjoy my time with.
omg thank you you just condensed all my thoughts and emotions over the past 4 years into this one video.
I have never related more to a TH-cam video before, I truly appreciate this content and in all honesty needed that reassurance and relation. God bless you brother ❤️
Man It’s crazy how much I related with this video, thanks for sharing.
Times are tuff . There is one thing we all need and it is each other. Nothing great can be done alone . I am walking proof of overcoming many many many challenges in my life. I've struggled I've starved I've froze like I said times are tough in the news darker days I prayed and wished and hope somebody would say something to me and notice that I've been in pain and noticed that I was struggling. But all I was faced with was denial and shutdowns. I have so much to offered to the 🌍 and just need that one chance. But I will create that chance from my sufferings and turn that into something beautiful to share with everyone. I stumbled across this video on TH-cam and I watched the entirety of it. There's a lot of great things this gentleman said in a lot of you should pay attention. Apply yourself and good things will happen deny yourself and nothing will happen. It starts within
Keeping hustling. Your a great person who's doing good. Loosing friends. Sleep less nights.. building wolf pack
Wow! I am amazed to find that there are other people with the same vision as me. I have been actually trying different methods for finding people virtually who have the same values with and can build a relationship with. One of my goals is to scale it, so that it is easier for people to find each other.
As always thank you for the amazing content!
Thanks Leon! This makes so much sense, I've been trying to connect with people only to find out that I'm doing it all wrong, looking for them in the wrong place, trying to open conversations they're not really interested in. So thanks for sharing this video, liked and subscribed!
The road to success is often a lonely one. It was a hard left turn to rebuild my social life after years of intense study. But it’s possible, and it’s so worth it. Don’t grind forever, there’ll be nobody to celebrate with.
Holy fuck, when you put that headphone in…..I almost cried. I’ve spent the last 5 years building a financially successful business, and I totally started feeling extremely isolated and lonely. I did take up a hobby, which involved meeting up with people outside of my “work”, and that’s been huge for my mental health.
I relate to this on another level. Damn.
Love it! Experiencing the exact same thing, this qs just keeps haunting me all the time but so glad I found such a precise answer... honestly I didn't expect anyone to make a vid about this qs or even have anyone else experience the same thing but when I saw your vid about how u lost your money n bounced back, u talked about making frnz n that really inspired me n motivated me to work even harder on my goals cuz I knew that I can always fix my social life n connect with like-minded people once I'm where I wanna be, and this video is the cherry on top. Thank you sooo muchhh Leon!!! I wish I could meet you or talk to you but your channel's prolly gonna blow up soon n you won't even see this comment, but thanksss a lot anyways I hope the community turns out to be amazing!!! ❤️❤️
Thanks man appreciate it a lot! Glad it helped :) Keep looking and you'll meet some like-minded people eventually, it's worth it
Thankkkkk youuuuuu sooooo muchhhh Leon hearing you definitely cheered me up that I'm not alone suffering🌸
This is the first of video if yours that I'm watching. I almost cried when you described the feeling of being the lonely guy in this lonely road. Thank you, my imaginary friend. 😅 I'm feeling less lonely now.
This is exactly my life rn 😂😂😂 but I'm just getting passed the *listening to podcast and motivation video* pace
Ah I'm so glad I came across your videos they are so relatable! I'm highly ambitious but I'm also just into being incredibly normal LOL! The whole pumped up ambitious, fist pump type stuff is definitely not for me. But I love your suggestions in this video, I'd love to connect with more like minded people, I'm yet to find my wolf pack haha!
I think I know what you mean... when people are too intense and take themselves too seriously it's no fun either
Broooo whaaaat. The youtube algo is actually insane. This recommendation couldn't have come at a better time. One of the best, most targeted videos I've ever watched. Had been really frustrated with my content today, and didn't have anyone to talk about it with. Literally had just finished watching a Joe Rogan pod, a garyvee video, and was going through videos on entrepreneur tips and crypto investing, and boom get shown this gem. Thank you man. I hope all is well! I'll definitely be exploring the channel from here!
Ain’t nobody understands your grind because they don’t have the and experience as you. Some people will never understand why I want to be a billionaire or hundred millionaire. I want large amounts of money so I can build housing for the mentally ill and drug addicted and make it easy to get it into. My whole childhood I went through different trauma from watching my dad relapse every single year on hard drugs to being bullied for the shape of my head when I was a kid. The fire in me burns deep and brings a lot of ambition. I don’t necessarily feel lonely all the time but I definitely do sometimes. This video really resonated with me and I appreciate you posting it. A lot of my friends just smoke weed and relax. I also have friends that are high honor students that are constantly working. There’s the whole spectrum tbh but it’s amazing what patience can do. The world will give you the answers. Being happy and content by yourself is just realizing how bad you could really be suffering.
I would definitely be interested in attending a meetup with entrepreneurial people that want more out of life. Are you working on that right now, or do you hope that people find each other in the comments?
right here :)
Let’s all get in touch! What’s your Instagram?
I relate to this so much OMG.
It’s amazing how a fee years ago you were talking about making a community and now you have drvn which is exactly that
The type of video that will get randomly recommended to others in a few years.
I'm so lucky to have to discovered your channel it's like a blessing. Just when I needed it😆❤
Really love the editing and vibe of this channel. Excited to follow and see it grow brother 👊
I've been feeling that horrible loneliness lately since I started working on my personal development and started my business. At the beginning I was still hanging out with my old friends but now I don't see them anymore because they don't excite me anymore, I feel really sad about that right now! and your video gave me a lot of great ideas to start building a new circle...You are amazing! Big hugs from Colombia!
After all the researches i made for years to define why i’m feeling like that. I lost hope. I really felt like i’m the only one who felt this way. So i stopped searching because all the videos and all the blogs repeated the same thing on and in. Now all of a sudden this video appears. I finally got my answer. I’m grateful for your presence.
I just moved to a new state this year. And I am starting my own content creation businesses, and I can relate to this 100%.
It’s sad, and the worst truth I’m fearing to come to, is that all of them are going to be there for their result but for the actual work, they have no idea.
I favorited this video so I can watch it again from time to time. This really resonated with me. Thank you, Leon.
I love it how he called me out for listening to him.
Wow, I felt like you spoke to my soul. I am in the same boat, I am either working from home, listening to or reading books or listening to good thinkinkers and I find myself filtering things around people and most people bore me. I enjoy discussing ideas, investing, crypto etc and most people aren't into that.
I am exactly at this level right now. Feeling lonely. I feel like people around me cannot be my true friends. They should be someone like me who has willing to develop with big dreams and goals. Thanks for the video I feel different watching this video knowing there people out there who have been experiencing the situation I am in right now.
I feel the same..
Ok Leon, do you have a facebook or telegram group set up already? Would be happy to join and help grow a community of young ambitious guys.
I've been doing business online for a few years while living in europe and asia, and met a lot of cool people, but I think only two of the whisky kind :)
I organized meetups in Da Nang, Berlin and Lisbon last year
Hey! My primary focus now is just building the channel up to grow a community from there 🙂
I feel you. I have friends who don't want to go anywhere in life and these days I just do lone wolf.
You're inspirational, bro. Thank you so much for all your videos!
I like how its a year later this video came out, and i get circled without warning, MY GOOD SIR YOU ARE A MENACE TO SOCIETY!!! Love the video by the way.
This resonates waaay to much with me.
But I think one thing you need to realise is if you want to make friends you cant really expect them to have the same ambitions as you do. What you are trying to look for is a business partner.
The most important thing when looking to make new friends is to look for common interests and hobbies. That could be gaming, paintball, hiking, working out, etc.
You will just naturally spend a lot of time with these people.
Wow this is relatable. My ambitions really keep me from enjoying the life I am living right now because Im not being myself in front of people that are important to me.
This video really hit home for me. It's good to know I'm not the only one experiencing this loneliness when it comes to following your dreams.
We are in this together.
