Filming this video was one of the hardest most rewarding things I've ever done. As I'm reading through all these comments I'm overwhelmed by the positivity. Of course it was amazing to do this in person and have intimate moments with all the people that came to the picnic, but I feel like the release of this video is almost like picnic 2.0 where everyone who knows and loves Jubilee can attend.

@@kostajankovic9285 in a sense I kinda got where she was coming from. As she stated she doesn't rly entertain loose enterpretations of friendship since she didn't know sam at the time or feel there was anything genuine about asking a stranger to be friends. Since u can't friends with someone you don't know. And just wanted to know what his goal was. Once he explained it more, they were on the same page and understood each other better. Once the convo was had any hostility kinda simmered.
I noticed people are more likely to say yes if he already has someone with him. Also, the more friends he made- the more confident his approach was each time.
you lose that skill if you just spend hours using phone, computer and somethings like that, but if you live your life out of these bad habit, you will be able to remember people`s name and others amazing skills. we should try it out, don`t think so?
Just go out and ask people to go out. I did it once on a friday night, ended up at a club, then another bar and met some cool guys. Just don't approach girls.
I see your TH-cam comments literally everywhere and they're always ICONIC. I would gladly be your friend as a fellow anime enjoyer. You seem like someone who would be fun to binge watch TH-cam videos with and share ideas together. Do you have a Discord?
Just a reminder that the "guy" behind this profile got d0xxed some time ago and the info was exactly what you'd expect. Let's just say the stereotype of the work shy nerd exists for a reason.
Elena and Angie were polar opposites that subtly helped the progression of the video. Elena is the devil's advocate type who will ask tough questions and not sugar coat. Angie is the kind to embrace and exude pleasantness in all situations. Both types of people we need in our lives!
This was so wholesome. Malik and Angie were literally the MVPs of this video. Andrew and Mohammed also made quite the impression on me. It really isn't hard to try to form relationships

That "Oh wait, do you know Andrew?" at 11:37 was honestly really heartwarming for some reason. Like he's genuinely convinced himself that he's friends with all of these people. And maybe that's the only real way to define friendship in the first place: two people agreeing to convince themselves that they are friends for no other reason than "just because".
@@abraham1331 could you elaborate. What exactly was his saying ? Cuz I’ve heard about it and read about the idea of convincing yourself ur friends with the person before actually becoming friends but I can’t remember where.
@@frodetelia8016 Basically he said friendship means you don't do stuff for your friends expecting something in return, you do it simply because you are friends, so feel friendship
I wanna see someone in their 30s or 40s trying to make friends. Would it even be possible to make this happen? As in meet, invite, and folks actually show up at the picnic at the end of the week.
@@SherrickDuncan really? How does it go? Do people show up? Bring their families? I wanna hear about this. I cannot imagine this working, but perhaps we’re all so starved for in-person human interaction, it would work.🤷🏻♀️
Angie is the sweetest omg. And I 100% agree that having Angie with him made a lot more girls willing to say yes... honestly I don't know how I would react to a random dude asking to be friends either lol.
It’s safe to say you would react negatively. No one is judging you. You just have to be okay with missing out on experiences like this. Everyone understands human females are much more relaxed with human females. Even the most despicable humans understand that too, like Jeffrey Epstein.
@@legendofsociety796 Se aying "females" is dehumanizing since it is a term specifically directed to animals, I agree with what you said, and your writing was very clear, but saying "women, or girls" would be nicer, haha No hate, have a nice day!
@@rafaelpaquete3350 saying women is confusing. I have to say females cause i want people to understand im refering to XX chromosome humans. If i say women in 2022, i could be discussing a much broader scale of humans.
Really important that Sam was able to take no for an answer without taking it personally or making people feel guilty. The respect for boundaries makes all the difference.
I’m literally crying! It really showed the importance of communication in our lives. It wasn’t a failure, the fact that people really did show up at the picnic proves it. The whole idea behind it is wonderful!
Andrew was such a sweet guy and I love how bubbly and helpful Angie was. I also loved how Elena prompted important questions about friendship to think about. There were so many great people that you wouldn't get to know unless you extend your hand to reach out for a connection and then continue reconnecting with.
I'm kinda opposite> As introvert, it's easier for me to choose friends wisely if people piqued my interest by having personality that I'm looking for(helpful, understanding, things in common, be aware of my social anxiety/autism triggers for boundary sake, caring and easy to talk to). I'm between talking to them first and them talk to me first for this. I have social anxiety and mild autism
Friendship isnt something that can be given away that easily. If you asked people to be your friend and they said yes they most likely not friends, although maybe it could build up to that but friendship isnt immediate
No you don't. If you really did, you would've done it already instead of fishing for shallow validation in TH-cam comment sections. A hearty laugh at your empty life.
Ive spent most of my life being introverted and never making friends besides the ones i met in my early teenage years and now I feel extremely motivated and empowered to embark on my own journey of making friends and connections and getting out of my comfort zone. Appreciate you Sam
@@itsthatguy0 you also have to be careful of the yes’s though. Not everyone who wants to be your friend wants a genuine friendship. Some people either want emotional supply from you or sex or something.
This is the type of thing we need more in the world. I'll never have enough courage to do anything even remotely close to this, but if you asked me if I wanted to be friends like that, I'd 100% say yes.
I love looking back to kindergarten and elementary school because of that. You simply ask someone to be your friend and you start spending time together!
This is so great. I think it's best to make friends when you're young, because I find that as I've gotten older, and more cynical about human nature, I lack the will to become friends with anyone. I'm still and kind and helpful towards others whenever possible, but I mostly require less interaction with people.
this is so cute, i was watching this thinking "i wish someone would do this to me", but i guess if nobody's asking me then there's nothing stopping me from asking other people :) no need to wait something to happen when you can do it yourself
7:34 I was a little confused here because that’s how every friendship starts, from nothing nobody is born with friends. Friends are honestly just strangers you get to know. Also I LOVE Angie! People like her are the best! So open, receptive, friendly, warm and loving
@@CleverCheetah Classmates are not nothing, they aren't strangers. If you think they are then you have a loose definition of what a stranger is. Prior relationships come from nothing, but friendships come from prior relationships. It doesn't mean that friendships come from nothing. It's like saying that "pizza comes from cheese and cheese comes from milk, so pizza comes from milk" in the philosophical sense, you can argue that point but in reality, you won't be able to make pizza with a glass of milk
This video very is so incredibly inspiring actually. I’ve been struggling with my social anxiety A LOT lately, and have been seeking help more recently for it. Just today I had a therapy session and mentioned how my anxiety is not only putting a strain on my life, but others around me that worry about me. She mentioned trying some exposure therapy and I’m slowly working on forcing myself to be in uncomfortable small social situations and work my way up to bigger situations. Funny how this video shows up in my recommended, it makes me want to try this in order to help conquer my social anxiety. I think I want to make something like this my end goal. Thank you for this video
I think the most difficult thing for me in a friendship is maintaining that relationship. Friends grow apart... that's a sad fact. My three best friends (with whom I've shared basically my whole life) are living far away from me, and I'm doing my best to build up our friendship. And the group chat... the reason why I hate joining new group chats is nobody speaks anything after a short while and it's just... so hard to maintain that new friendship. That's why I keep my circle small. But the video is very entertaining! It's nice to put yourself out there to make new friends!
so true. i had to move away from my best friend and we texted for a while but now we don't really talk anymore. also i don't talk to any of the people i used to be in a group with. so yeah it is hard for me to maintain the relationship as a friend with people.
Elena is a true intellectual! She challenged his purpose of making this video without being condescending✨ P.S Angie & Malik are so cool! Friends like them>>>
@@Sangsty i agree. I think she was pretty close to being a bit rude, but was very thoughtful with what she was saying. it made the whole video so genuine and real
i wish i could give Andrew the biggest hug :( he genuinely seems like such a nice guy and i can't even imagine what he's going thru. he deserves all the light n love
This is beautiful in a world where so many people feel lonely and struggle to make meaningful connections this actually gives hope that if you put yourself out there there’s always someone who will reciprocate
I am taking sociology, and one of the aspects as shown here is "the first follower is the most crucial in making a movement". That's why with Angie, you had an easier time getting new friends. I am definitely showing this to my class. :)
I would like an update in 2 months, like which friendships were more than just a one time event There have to be some people willing to meet up for a drink or something
That was so wholesome to watch. Really enjoyed how optimistic he was in his pursuit. Got outta his comfort zone and met a bunch of beautiful faces. Some yes, some no but in the end created new bonds and might allow other to push through those walls and be willing to try this. Love is at the core of it all. Nicely done
THIS WAS A SUCCESS, THIS VIDEO MADE ME CRY! I loved the energy of Malik and Angie, it really makes me believe that it's fun to be around people, even when you're anxious. wow, loved it!
Elena sounds like someone who has really been through a process of deeply thinking about the meaning of "friends". But everyone has a different concept of friends, some think about it deeply, and some like me just, whatever.🤷
This video made me so happy. There was a ton of beautiful people, such as Andrew, Malik and Angie, i loved the vibes that them and you gave and i wish i could have been part of that. Made my day! Edit 16/06/2022 woah guys so many likes, thank you
This was really inspiring!! As a black girl in a white suburban area I went my whole high school experience with barely any true connections and found it hard to put myself out of because of fear of a lot of things but always wanted to do something like this. Your last lines about trying over and over again really spoke to me not just with friends but with life😊
Make friends is extremely hard nowadays, it truly is because some people have social anxiety or just don't wanna make new friends. Which I understand that but damn getting rejected still stings ya know. Anyway I love the video and jubilee always bring new and fun stuff to us ♥️
This legit feels like a yes theory video , makes me so happy , feeling all that love and compassion through this video and kind of absorbing all of that , how this person's 1 idea is gonna impact hundreds of people those met irl and the people who watch the video ,
Great Video idea. I think I would have been open to this if I was still in university but not now with random people off the street. I think the experiment actually ended up being pretty successful and realistic based on what happens in real life. I was interested in who ended up coming to the picnic at the end and when Sam met them so I noted it down below: Day One Malik # 5 (1:28) Mya #11 (3:13) Jadin #15 (3:52) Day Two Andrew #22 (5:40) Matt # 28 (6:35) Kenny #29 (6:37) Angie #32 (9:01) Mohamad #33 (9:40) Day Three Leo #54 (12:30) Noah #63 (12:54) Nicola #64 (12:54) Kevin #65 (12:54)
I have zero friends, not one. So watching this really warmed my heart up. Human connection is so important. Hope everyone gains new connections in 2023 ❤
@@Leojw10 Do you play videogames? If yes, try finding some in Valorant or League of Legends. Simply, start chatting and be pushy but not aggressive. Try to be fun. If not, then try to go to social places like parks and other avenues. It depends on what you can stomach. Meet people and you'll meet their friend group and keep webbing along. Be beware, there are a lot of bad people. Always have self-respect and dump them immediately if you think you wouldn't dare do what they're doing to you. I burned myself very badly because of not taking action against bad people.
This video turned out to be 100 times better than expected, it's incredible and super wholesome, and it carries a really possitive meaning. Also, Elena was like the most real moment and the most special one, because sam could open up and actually explain what it was all about, just a great moment, also Malik rocks lol.
If someone asked me to be friends like this I 100% would have said yes. I think this is such a best idea and I think it would be really cool if people would start doing this at a bunch of different colleges. It really makes me want to meet some more new people.
As a UCLA student who suffers from introvertedness, this kind of inspires me to go out and make friends on campus. I would love to take this challenge on, especially with my few friends that I have.
I'm also really impressed how Sam remembered everyone's names, even after having met them only a few days ago. It usually takes me multiple times to remember people's name. That is definitely an important part of maintaining a friendship
I absolutely love this so much!! All the people with no hesitation saying yes I’ll be friends we need more people like that. When did it almost become “taboo” to just walk up to people and ask to be friends. We should have empathy and break down barriers. This video warmed my heart. We should all be kind and treat people with kindness! This is so inspiring!
To be honest, if I had to guess, there are a ton of misconceptions irl. One of my classmates obviously has depression, yet he told me he stopped watching anime because he's growing up. I didn't agree with him cuz I've experienced depression and it took me one year to realise and another half of year to get out of it, which I realized when i started watching anime.
Honestly, that's super impressive! Well done for putting yourself out there knowing that some people would reject you and for managing to get over a hundred people to say yes!
I mean when you were a kid you would literally walk up to other kids and ask just this, and then you were besties. I miss those days, this is so great ❤️
I understand why people don't do this. It's just weird and awkward at least in my opinion asking someone who've you literally never met to be friends most of the times people end up becoming friends over a common interest usually at school or work and seeing each other on multiple occasions to get to know each other a bit. Asking a stranger skips all that and you wouldn't even know if your compatible as friends.
Let’s try this with Adults in the real world and not on a college campus where you already encounter the same people every day. In college, I made new connections like every day and they often turned into friendships. In the outside world, there really isn’t a setting for the same type of connections with potential for friendship to cultivate in the same way shrug 🤷🏽♂️
How big was the college you went to? Cuz I rarely see the people in my classes on campus cuz my school is big, and people move around where they sit a lot, so I didn't really see the same people that much, maybe like 2 times a week
Meetup? Couchsurfing? At gigs/festivals? Various other groups & classes? There are opportunities out there if you're open to it... Its just that being open is often harder as we age 🌹🌈☀️
Sport leagues, bars, city tours, work, car meetups, book clubs, etc. There's still plenty of places where you can meet new people. It just takes more work.
Did any of them blossom into a deeper ongoing friendship? I thought Malik and Angie were especially friendly going out of their way to make the connection stronger. 😺❤️
I honestly had to cry in the end because this video is so positive and beautiful. Thank you so much!! In our time, where everyone is hiding behind screens and is terrified of real human interaction, this is just so motivating and inspiring.
This is one of the most wholesome videos on the jubilee channel hands down Angie, Andrew, Malik and the rest are all amazing people and angie had matching hoodies with him at the end :))
"Looking back, it wasn't really about making 100 new friends. It was about trying 100 times, knowing that I'd fail. "But, if I tried hard enough, a few real friendships could blossom." That's why this video literally made my day. Because Sam put in the effort, some of these friendships, like Malik and Angie, will stick. Because Sam was willing to fail over 100 times, he created new and amazing opportunities for very real friendships. I loved this so much
As someone who enjoys approaching strangers and building connections, this video really hit home and and was one of my if not my favourite video on the channel. Would love to see something similar in the future!!!!
this experiment was so wholesome and heart warming, honestly it makes me want to go an make friends with someone off the street I find amusing this summer
This is so wholesome and genuine! Sam has a really great energy, I would have said yes and showed to the picnic in a heartbeat! We need more people like this guy and the ones who showed up in the end ❤
I remember my wellness teacher talking about how they're teaching the kindergarteners to be direct. Someone does something you don't like? Simply say it and the other person stops and respects them. In the modern world I feel that a lot of social things can seem complex and scary, but if you keep it complex and scary then it can be harder to progress. Simply ask, and if they say no move on. If they for some reason do freak out, all you did was ask to be friends.
I think this is my favorite video from jubilee ever. It expanded my perception of the world and also showed me how much love there is around us. All we have to do is introduce ourselves and open up a little
So sweet! I was just talking to my mom about how as we grow older, these walls and boundaries grow around us that are definitely necessary for safety but make it that much harder to make new friends. Thank you for this!!
Absolutely love this video. Wish that more people are straight forward instead of hiding behind their tech (computer/phone) to meet each other. Keep striving
LOVED this video! I can really relate to Sam’s energy changes throughout the entire thing. Positivity and inclusivity go a long way and that was evident here! You never know what someone is going through and how talking to them can make a massive difference. Keep up the great videos, Jubilee 😌
And the hardest part will be keeping that friendship over time, problem will came and those that stay still can be the real friend. Even though currently I'm walking alone in my way, I know its great to have friend to do crazy thing together lol. Great Job Sam!
I honestly really like and appreciate this video :) I’m a transfer student and it was really hard to make friends at first and I was soooooo lonely but things have been looking up for me recently but only because I’ve been approaching people first and making that first step to make connections that could potentially lead to friendship :) it’s hard and scary but we gotta be the one to put ourselves out there to meet people and make friends!! Thanks for this video Sam!
as a child, it was common for me to have someone come up to me and want to be friends with me. but just imagine how difficult it was for me when I moved to another country and no longer people came up to be my friend, and I had no idea how to do it. Fortunately, I began to show more initiative, but I still appreciate such people who appear out of nowhere and want to get know each other
I really like this. Friendship is really neat and the fact that so many people are willing to be friends with just asking the question sounds so cool. It really makes it positive and shows how endearing people are together. If anything makes me a bit happy that people want to be.
This was such a heartwarming and cool concept for a video. It’s hard to get out of your comfort zone so even for just doing that and being open and accepting to rejection is a big win to me Sam!!! Would’ve 100% said yes to friends and a picnic cause I’m just that person😂 but it’s easy to understand why some people said no. Hope to see more videos like this in the future and big up to the people who said yes and came. Thanks Sam! This was inspiring and makes me wanna go out and make 100 new friends❤️
I've watched this last night after thinking how introverted and isolated I am as a person and seeing Sam risking his outer Green Koopa Shell to talk to random students at the campus and forming friendships gave me a huge smile in my face somehow! 😃 I struggle with social / generalized anxiety along deep trust issues with people along severe ptsd and would easily be torn down to shreds when the first person he asked to become friends with rejected him. Rejection is definitely difficult for a handful of people like me if you constantly go through it as you're used to it happening but gets painful overtime. Making 100 Friends has to be one of Jubilee's BEST videos I've seen yet beside the experiment they've done about autistic people as I'm a high-functioning aspie myself along the one about asexuals. ♠ What I found most tense was @ 15:00 as Sam asked a dozen students in their own picnic group to join theirs and they ALL turned him down which must be so nerve-racking for him but totally understandable as they don't want to be involved in too many students they don't know. Heck, even having more than 2 people around me at a time would be way too much as I can only handle so many people to talk to at once without having a panic attack or passing out of being over-stimulated. Also, the girl @ 7:07 that Sam was talking to has such PERFECT POINTS as having a connection with someone is much different than being friends with them as you don't even know whom they are as a human being yet and takes time & trust to getting to know them in a platonic level. Other than that, this was such an amazing experiment to watch and really heartwarming and just ADORE Sam's "Empathy" sweater! 😇 *PS:* After reading *"Just Some Guy Without a Mustache's"* comment, was really heartbreaking and relatable to read as not having any friends can be a nightmare when you see people laughing and walking together or holding hands as a sign of close friendship out in public. 👬
Filming this video was one of the hardest most rewarding things I've ever done. As I'm reading through all these comments I'm overwhelmed by the positivity. Of course it was amazing to do this in person and have intimate moments with all the people that came to the picnic, but I feel like the release of this video is almost like picnic 2.0 where everyone who knows and loves Jubilee can attend. So I just want to thank everyone watching for showing up. I'm so excited to do this again and to make more friends :)

me tooooo omgg she has pure heart
I wanna see someone in their 30s or 40s trying to make friends. Would it even be possible to make this happen? As in meet, invite, and folks actually show up at the picnic at the end of the week.
Age does not matter ,People's intentions do !
Me too. Wanna know 🥰
I'm 34 going on 35 and I do it all the time.
I think I can pull it off, I'm 38 but most people think I'm in my 20's
@@SherrickDuncan really? How does it go? Do people show up? Bring their families? I wanna hear about this. I cannot imagine this working, but perhaps we’re all so starved for in-person human interaction, it would work.🤷🏻♀️
Angie is the sweetest omg. And I 100% agree that having Angie with him made a lot more girls willing to say yes... honestly I don't know how I would react to a random dude asking to be friends either lol.
It’s safe to say you would react negatively. No one is judging you. You just have to be okay with missing out on experiences like this. Everyone understands human females are much more relaxed with human females. Even the most despicable humans understand that too, like Jeffrey Epstein.
@@legendofsociety796 Se aying "females" is dehumanizing since it is a term specifically directed to animals, I agree with what you said, and your writing was very clear, but saying "women, or girls" would be nicer, haha
No hate, have a nice day!
@@rafaelpaquete3350 saying women is confusing. I have to say females cause i want people to understand im refering to XX chromosome humans. If i say women in 2022, i could be discussing a much broader scale of humans.
@@rafaelpaquete3350 i call human males “human males” as well. Not one sided here
No. Women would say no. It's a dude asking. Men might talk. The video is heavily edited for positive progression.
Really important that Sam was able to take no for an answer without taking it personally or making people feel guilty. The respect for boundaries makes all the difference.
Exactly. With failure, comes success.
@@itsthatguy0not really
High five to the 11 people who actually showed up 🙏 he was basically a stranger and they still came out. That’s just awesome
Honestly think that 11 is better than 100 cuz you can actually get to know the people more
I’m literally crying! It really showed the importance of communication in our lives. It wasn’t a failure, the fact that people really did show up at the picnic proves it. The whole idea behind it is wonderful!
Indeed
💯🙌❤️
Angie is a vibe, Andrew is a great dude and Malik is a day one. This was a wonderful experience and it seemed fan.
Andrew was such a sweet guy and I love how bubbly and helpful Angie was. I also loved how Elena prompted important questions about friendship to think about. There were so many great people that you wouldn't get to know unless you extend your hand to reach out for a connection and then continue reconnecting with.
Malik was also great too
As a college student and introvert, this video hits hard haha. I wish I had a person who would reach out and ask to be friends
I'm kinda opposite> As introvert, it's easier for me to choose friends wisely if people piqued my interest by having personality that I'm looking for(helpful, understanding, things in common, be aware of my social anxiety/autism triggers for boundary sake, caring and easy to talk to). I'm between talking to them first and them talk to me first for this. I have social anxiety and mild autism
Let's be friends 🙌
Friendship isnt something that can be given away that easily. If you asked people to be your friend and they said yes they most likely not friends, although maybe it could build up to that but friendship isnt immediate
@@Skiltra that's true and all it takes a first step🤝
No you don't. If you really did, you would've done it already instead of fishing for shallow validation in TH-cam comment sections.
A hearty laugh at your empty life.
Ive spent most of my life being introverted and never making friends besides the ones i met in my early teenage years and now I feel extremely motivated and empowered to embark on my own journey of making friends and connections and getting out of my comfort zone. Appreciate you Sam
Exactly. It’s like, go out into life, expect “no’s”. But when you get the “yes’s”, that changes your course. Better you do, then don’t.
@@itsthatguy0 you also have to be careful of the yes’s though. Not everyone who wants to be your friend wants a genuine friendship. Some people either want emotional supply from you or sex or something.
How is that journey going for you? Just curious here and hoping it's going amazing! 🙂
By the way, we can be friends if you want
It's been 2 years. We need an update
This is the type of thing we need more in the world.
I'll never have enough courage to do anything even remotely close to this, but if you asked me if I wanted to be friends like that, I'd 100% say yes.
I love looking back to kindergarten and elementary school because of that. You simply ask someone to be your friend and you start spending time together!
@biibiib buubuub yes, but no. We now know that there is also the bad and that people can be dangerous
I always said yes. And I was always thrown under the bus afterwards. But it was my fault, too.
If this comment get 10 likes I would do it
Angie and Malik are obviously great people this was so sweet and heart warming we need more of this
Yes those two are the 2 I remembered
Exactly
Andrew and kenny as well
I agree🤗💕💕
Yea they were
I definetly love everyone but Angie won my heart, we all need a friend like her
I agree, she seemed lovely!!
Same
i agree!!
This is so great. I think it's best to make friends when you're young, because I find that as I've gotten older, and more cynical about human nature, I lack the will to become friends with anyone. I'm still and kind and helpful towards others whenever possible, but I mostly require less interaction with people.
"It was about trying 100 times knowing that I'd fail." It's the perseverance, resilience and ambition that makes this a success.
this is so cute, i was watching this thinking "i wish someone would do this to me", but i guess if nobody's asking me then there's nothing stopping me from asking other people :) no need to wait something to happen when you can do it yourself
same
do you think we can be friends
@@amy.na0 do you wanna be friends?
Would you like to be friends??:) I would love to go ask people too!
this is kinda motivating
7:34 I was a little confused here because that’s how every friendship starts, from nothing nobody is born with friends. Friends are honestly just strangers you get to know. Also I LOVE Angie! People like her are the best! So open, receptive, friendly, warm and loving
Yeah. In my humble opinion, Elena is overcomplicating this.
I would disagree, most of my friends were classmates or colleagues or people I had some prior relationship with, it wasn't nothing to friendship
@@cevcena6692 Classmates are still nothing. They are complete strangers who just happen to be in the same class.
@@cevcena6692 Those “prior” relationships come from nothing. You cant make a friend if you dont open yourself up.
@@CleverCheetah Classmates are not nothing, they aren't strangers. If you think they are then you have a loose definition of what a stranger is.
Prior relationships come from nothing, but friendships come from prior relationships. It doesn't mean that friendships come from nothing. It's like saying that "pizza comes from cheese and cheese comes from milk, so pizza comes from milk" in the philosophical sense, you can argue that point but in reality, you won't be able to make pizza with a glass of milk
This video very is so incredibly inspiring actually. I’ve been struggling with my social anxiety A LOT lately, and have been seeking help more recently for it. Just today I had a therapy session and mentioned how my anxiety is not only putting a strain on my life, but others around me that worry about me. She mentioned trying some exposure therapy and I’m slowly working on forcing myself to be in uncomfortable small social situations and work my way up to bigger situations. Funny how this video shows up in my recommended, it makes me want to try this in order to help conquer my social anxiety. I think I want to make something like this my end goal. Thank you for this video
So my question to you is, do you wanna be friends?
I also suffer with social anxiety. I feel your pain.
I have tried exposure therapy, it’s nice but super scary
I think the most difficult thing for me in a friendship is maintaining that relationship. Friends grow apart... that's a sad fact. My three best friends (with whom I've shared basically my whole life) are living far away from me, and I'm doing my best to build up our friendship.
And the group chat... the reason why I hate joining new group chats is nobody speaks anything after a short while and it's just... so hard to maintain that new friendship.
That's why I keep my circle small. But the video is very entertaining! It's nice to put yourself out there to make new friends!
I totally agree with this. I keep losing friends faster than i gain them 😭
I agree :( struggling to stay close to mine as well. Hey yitong, you wanna be friends??😂
so true. i had to move away from my best friend and we texted for a while but now we don't really talk anymore. also i don't talk to any of the people i used to be in a group with. so yeah it is hard for me to maintain the relationship as a friend with people.
I completely agree with you there. Maintaining a friendship is hard
felt that..
Elena is a true intellectual! She challenged his purpose of making this video without being condescending✨
P.S Angie & Malik are so cool! Friends like them>>>
true!
Malik just shielding his eyes
She was doing too much
@@Sangsty i agree. I think she was pretty close to being a bit rude, but was very thoughtful with what she was saying. it made the whole video so genuine and real
She came off as rude ngl but she was probably on the spectrum
i wish i could give Andrew the biggest hug :( he genuinely seems like such a nice guy and i can't even imagine what he's going thru. he deserves all the light n love
This is beautiful in a world where so many people feel lonely and struggle to make meaningful connections this actually gives hope that if you put yourself out there there’s always someone who will reciprocate
Sam's memorisation of names is immaculate. His energy is infectious. Always love initiatives like this. We need to see more of him!
I am taking sociology, and one of the aspects as shown here is "the first follower is the most crucial in making a movement".
That's why with Angie, you had an easier time getting new friends.
I am definitely showing this to my class. :)
When taking sociology is there jobs that u can get after?
@@x-x9595 yes.
on 100 most of them are asian, least blacks
@@x-x9595 yeah,
why ask?
Oh its like that video of the shirtless guy starting a dancing movement. The true MVP was the first follower that made it all possible.
I really hope it’s not a one-off concept and we can expect more videos like this because this was genuinely wholesome
I would like an update in 2 months, like which friendships were more than just a one time event
There have to be some people willing to meet up for a drink or something
That was so wholesome to watch. Really enjoyed how optimistic he was in his pursuit. Got outta his comfort zone and met a bunch of beautiful faces. Some yes, some no but in the end created new bonds and might allow other to push through those walls and be willing to try this. Love is at the core of it all. Nicely done
THIS WAS A SUCCESS, THIS VIDEO MADE ME CRY!
I loved the energy of Malik and Angie, it really makes me believe that it's fun to be around people, even when you're anxious. wow, loved it!
Angie is the sweetest soul i've ever seen. And the fact that he remebers everybody's names
Elena sounds like someone who has really been through a process of deeply thinking about the meaning of "friends". But everyone has a different concept of friends, some think about it deeply, and some like me just, whatever.🤷
This video made me so happy. There was a ton of beautiful people, such as Andrew, Malik and Angie, i loved the vibes that them and you gave and i wish i could have been part of that. Made my day!
Edit 16/06/2022 woah guys so many likes, thank you
This was really inspiring!! As a black girl in a white suburban area I went my whole high school experience with barely any true connections and found it hard to put myself out of because of fear of a lot of things but always wanted to do something like this.
Your last lines about trying over and over again really spoke to me not just with friends but with life😊
I am kind of curious how many of those “friends" he met actually stayed in touch with him and became like real and close friends
Make friends is extremely hard nowadays, it truly is because some people have social anxiety or just don't wanna make new friends.
Which I understand that but damn getting rejected still stings ya know. Anyway I love the video and jubilee always bring new and fun stuff to us ♥️
This legit feels like a yes theory video , makes me so happy , feeling all that love and compassion through this video and kind of absorbing all of that , how this person's 1 idea is gonna impact hundreds of people those met irl and the people who watch the video ,
Great Video idea. I think I would have been open to this if I was still in university but not now with random people off the street. I think the experiment actually ended up being pretty successful and realistic based on what happens in real life.
I was interested in who ended up coming to the picnic at the end and when Sam met them so I noted it down below:
Day One
Malik # 5 (1:28)
Mya #11 (3:13)
Jadin #15 (3:52)
Day Two
Andrew #22 (5:40)
Matt # 28 (6:35)
Kenny #29 (6:37)
Angie #32 (9:01)
Mohamad #33 (9:40)
Day Three
Leo #54 (12:30)
Noah #63 (12:54)
Nicola #64 (12:54)
Kevin #65 (12:54)
That’s awesome, thanks for this
Thank you for this. I high key actually wanted to do this as well
So I'm glad you did
This made me feel so much more confident about making friends as someone who has made no friends at uni
I have zero friends, not one. So watching this really warmed my heart up. Human connection is so important. Hope everyone gains new connections in 2023 ❤
Let's be friend:-)
Im 18 got no friends rlly hope i get friends one day
@@Leojw10 wanna be friends?
@@Leojw10 Do you play videogames? If yes, try finding some in Valorant or League of Legends. Simply, start chatting and be pushy but not aggressive. Try to be fun.
If not, then try to go to social places like parks and other avenues. It depends on what you can stomach. Meet people and you'll meet their friend group and keep webbing along.
Be beware, there are a lot of bad people. Always have self-respect and dump them immediately if you think you wouldn't dare do what they're doing to you. I burned myself very badly because of not taking action against bad people.
@@Leojw10 can we be friends?
Malik and Angie are so cool. Also, the amount of wholesomeness is overwhelming.
Angie is so nice and humble♥️
Malik, Angie, and Andrew were amazing! i can definitely see Sam having a long lasting friendship with those 3 FOR SURE
This was so wholesome
I am crying at 10pm
Also the guy , Sam was the best person to do this
Angie is literally the type of friend i need, someone kind and loving.
This video turned out to be 100 times better than expected, it's incredible and super wholesome, and it carries a really possitive meaning. Also, Elena was like the most real moment and the most special one, because sam could open up and actually explain what it was all about, just a great moment, also Malik rocks lol.
If someone asked me to be friends like this I 100% would have said yes. I think this is such a best idea and I think it would be really cool if people would start doing this at a bunch of different colleges. It really makes me want to meet some more new people.
I absolutely loved this. The joy and growth that can come from stepping out of your comfort zone just a little is amazing.
I really like Elena’s push back on this, I love her questions
As a UCLA student who suffers from introvertedness, this kind of inspires me to go out and make friends on campus. I would love to take this challenge on, especially with my few friends that I have.
Hope you made some friends
I'm also really impressed how Sam remembered everyone's names, even after having met them only a few days ago. It usually takes me multiple times to remember people's name. That is definitely an important part of maintaining a friendship
I absolutely love this so much!! All the people with no hesitation saying yes I’ll be friends we need more people like that. When did it almost become “taboo” to just walk up to people and ask to be friends. We should have empathy and break down barriers. This video warmed my heart. We should all be kind and treat people with kindness! This is so inspiring!
To be honest, if I had to guess, there are a ton of misconceptions irl. One of my classmates obviously has depression, yet he told me he stopped watching anime because he's growing up. I didn't agree with him cuz I've experienced depression and it took me one year to realise and another half of year to get out of it, which I realized when i started watching anime.
Angela is such an angel 😍😍😍 the energy she has .. it's contagious I love her
The whole video is soo wholesome .. I really enjoyed it
Honestly, that's super impressive! Well done for putting yourself out there knowing that some people would reject you and for managing to get over a hundred people to say yes!
I admire the amount of courage he has to reach out to other people and establish relations without the fear of either being rejected or accused.
I mean when you were a kid you would literally walk up to other kids and ask just this, and then you were besties. I miss those days, this is so great ❤️
Angie and Malik were truly awesome. Props to everyone!
I wish people did this more often you never know what someone is going through you just might make there day
I understand why people don't do this. It's just weird and awkward at least in my opinion asking someone who've you literally never met to be friends most of the times people end up becoming friends over a common interest usually at school or work and seeing each other on multiple occasions to get to know each other a bit. Asking a stranger skips all that and you wouldn't even know if your compatible as friends.
Let’s try this with Adults in the real world and not on a college campus where you already encounter the same people every day. In college, I made new connections like every day and they often turned into friendships. In the outside world, there really isn’t a setting for the same type of connections with potential for friendship to cultivate in the same way shrug 🤷🏽♂️
How big was the college you went to? Cuz I rarely see the people in my classes on campus cuz my school is big, and people move around where they sit a lot, so I didn't really see the same people that much, maybe like 2 times a week
Meetup? Couchsurfing? At gigs/festivals? Various other groups & classes? There are opportunities out there if you're open to it... Its just that being open is often harder as we age 🌹🌈☀️
@Josephif Smithling did you ask it irl or online?
Sport leagues, bars, city tours, work, car meetups, book clubs, etc. There's still plenty of places where you can meet new people. It just takes more work.
This actually made me cry. So beautiful. Best Jubilee video ever actually.
When Angie asked him "Are you happy?" ...wow... that's all u need..just one friend who cares about you 💚.
Did any of them blossom into a deeper ongoing friendship? I thought Malik and Angie were especially friendly going out of their way to make the connection stronger. 😺❤️
and Andrew
I'd love to see a update video maybe 2 or 4 years from now.
Angie was tryna smash.
I honestly had to cry in the end because this video is so positive and beautiful. Thank you so much!!
In our time, where everyone is hiding behind screens and is terrified of real human interaction, this is just so motivating and inspiring.
This is one of the most wholesome videos on the jubilee channel hands down
Angie, Andrew, Malik and the rest are all amazing people and angie had matching hoodies with him at the end :))
Kinda brings a tear to my eyes the sincerity in a lot of their hearts. A lot of people with a lot of beauty inside of them.
"Looking back, it wasn't really about making 100 new friends. It was about trying 100 times, knowing that I'd fail.
"But, if I tried hard enough, a few real friendships could blossom."
That's why this video literally made my day.
Because Sam put in the effort, some of these friendships, like Malik and Angie, will stick. Because Sam was willing to fail over 100 times, he created new and amazing opportunities for very real friendships.
I loved this so much
i came into this thinking it'd be corny but this was actually a really wholesome video 🥺
I do not care how stressful this is PLEASE MAKE IT A SERIES
As someone who enjoys approaching strangers and building connections, this video really hit home and and was one of my if not my favourite video on the channel. Would love to see something similar in the future!!!!
This actually is making me wanna go out of my comfort and ask someone new every day if they wanna be friends
this experiment was so wholesome and heart warming, honestly it makes me want to go an make friends with someone off the street I find amusing this summer
This is so wholesome and genuine! Sam has a really great energy, I would have said yes and showed to the picnic in a heartbeat! We need more people like this guy and the ones who showed up in the end ❤
Very cool video. Give you a lot of props to keep going despite the rejections and 11 people showing up to anything is a modern miracle these days!
I remember my wellness teacher talking about how they're teaching the kindergarteners to be direct. Someone does something you don't like? Simply say it and the other person stops and respects them. In the modern world I feel that a lot of social things can seem complex and scary, but if you keep it complex and scary then it can be harder to progress. Simply ask, and if they say no move on. If they for some reason do freak out, all you did was ask to be friends.
I think this is my favorite video from jubilee ever. It expanded my perception of the world and also showed me how much love there is around us. All we have to do is introduce ourselves and open up a little
So sweet! I was just talking to my mom about how as we grow older, these walls and boundaries grow around us that are definitely necessary for safety but make it that much harder to make new friends. Thank you for this!!
Absolutely love this video. Wish that more people are straight forward instead of hiding behind their tech (computer/phone) to meet each other. Keep striving
LOVED this video! I can really relate to Sam’s energy changes throughout the entire thing. Positivity and inclusivity go a long way and that was evident here! You never know what someone is going through and how talking to them can make a massive difference. Keep up the great videos, Jubilee 😌
Californian: The Post
Also it's kinda surprising how willing people are to make new friends! It's so awesome :)
And the hardest part will be keeping that friendship over time, problem will came and those that stay still can be the real friend. Even though currently I'm walking alone in my way, I know its great to have friend to do crazy thing together lol. Great Job Sam!
i'm so glad you made it to the end, seeing you with everyone was enough to put a smile on my face, thank you for this
I honestly really like and appreciate this video :) I’m a transfer student and it was really hard to make friends at first and I was soooooo lonely but things have been looking up for me recently but only because I’ve been approaching people first and making that first step to make connections that could potentially lead to friendship :) it’s hard and scary but we gotta be the one to put ourselves out there to meet people and make friends!! Thanks for this video Sam!
what did you say to them when you approached them?
he's not weird about asking, that's why it worked better than i thought.
as a child, it was common for me to have someone come up to me and want to be friends with me. but just imagine how difficult it was for me when I moved to another country and no longer people came up to be my friend, and I had no idea how to do it. Fortunately, I began to show more initiative, but I still appreciate such people who appear out of nowhere and want to get know each other
I really like this. Friendship is really neat and the fact that so many people are willing to be friends with just asking the question sounds so cool. It really makes it positive and shows how endearing people are together. If anything makes me a bit happy that people want to be.
This was such a heartwarming and cool concept for a video. It’s hard to get out of your comfort zone so even for just doing that and being open and accepting to rejection is a big win to me Sam!!! Would’ve 100% said yes to friends and a picnic cause I’m just that person😂 but it’s easy to understand why some people said no. Hope to see more videos like this in the future and big up to the people who said yes and came. Thanks Sam! This was inspiring and makes me wanna go out and make 100 new friends❤️
I've watched this last night after thinking how introverted and isolated I am as a person and seeing Sam risking his outer Green Koopa Shell to talk to random students at the campus and forming friendships gave me a huge smile in my face somehow! 😃
I struggle with social / generalized anxiety along deep trust issues with people along severe ptsd and would easily be torn down to shreds when the first person he asked to become friends with rejected him. Rejection is definitely difficult for a handful of people like me if you constantly go through it as you're used to it happening but gets painful overtime.
Making 100 Friends has to be one of Jubilee's BEST videos I've seen yet beside the experiment they've done about autistic people as I'm a high-functioning aspie myself along the one about asexuals. ♠
What I found most tense was @ 15:00 as Sam asked a dozen students in their own picnic group to join theirs and they ALL turned him down which must be so nerve-racking for him but totally understandable as they don't want to be involved in too many students they don't know. Heck, even having more than 2 people around me at a time would be way too much as I can only handle so many people to talk to at once without having a panic attack or passing out of being over-stimulated.
Also, the girl @ 7:07 that Sam was talking to has such PERFECT POINTS as having a connection with someone is much different than being friends with them as you don't even know whom they are as a human being yet and takes time & trust to getting to know them in a platonic level.
Other than that, this was such an amazing experiment to watch and really heartwarming and just ADORE Sam's "Empathy" sweater! 😇
*PS:* After reading *"Just Some Guy Without a Mustache's"* comment, was really heartbreaking and relatable to read as not having any friends can be a nightmare when you see people laughing and walking together or holding hands as a sign of close friendship out in public. 👬
props to u for putting this comment bro
Hey, do you want to be friends?
