    At 25, it’s definitely discouraging losing friends over time. However, the friends I do have, although fewer, are some of the best people I’ve ever met. As you age, you learn to cherish quality over quantity.

      quality over quantity 100%

    I’ve got my five guys who I’ve known for ~15-20+ years that I can confidently say we’ll be friends until we die.
    We’ve grown up together, played Modern Warfare 2 back in the day ☢️, went to elementary/middle/high school and college together ✏️, drank beer and partied a bit 🍻, and have been in each other’s weddings 🕺🏼.
    Some of us stayed in our hometown, and some of us moved away, but we still find time to get together around the holidays and catch up with current things, while still remembering the good old times. It’s cool that our wives have even befriended each other as well.
    Through thick or thin, we’re there for each other no matter what. It’s just what you do for a real friend. Celebrate success, support through difficult times.
    I’ve never been a fan of spending too much time with a ton of acquaintances. Quality over quantity all the way!

      for sure quality over quantity! That's awesome that you have a close group like that, standing the test of time

    Been struggling with this recently, currently 21 and feel like I'm back at square one in life socially. A lot of my friends from high school have parted / went their ways and so have I, feel like thats the norm for high school at least unless you grew up with them as kids. A lot of people I knew online that we did gaming / business together moved on as well. Either through conflict or just letting time pass without contacting each other. I'm at a point in life where I have nobody to talk to on a daily basis or anybody to spend time with. Really sucks cause I feel like when you are not in a social environment, it's hard to make new friends. I constantly work on my business and the only social interaction I get outside of it is going to the gym. Trying to work on myself by getting a better grip at social skills and can only hope things get better from here.

    Relationships are transaction when you really break it down, but sometimes they can just be this passive win-win where it's such a no brainer to spend time together.

    I love that I never deleted any of my friends off of my Xbox account. Over the years, I’ve made so many friends, whether in real life, or online. I have memories with each person on that list, and I’ll never delete them, even if we don’t talk these days

  • @mediamarv18
    @mediamarv18 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I am 24 and I have been slowly distancing myself from my friends that are lazy and focusing their time on useless activities. I felt bad at first, but then I realized that the people you communicate and hang around the most are the one's you will likely model after. Great video my guy!

  • @ValiantInstance

    My Xbox friends list is dead, but I'll never clean it up, Too many memories. I love the nostalgia of this era and will sometimes go back and watch old videos. ClassicCommentaries has been uploading a lot of Machinima stuff and it's great.

    • @whylearntech
      @whylearntech  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      same here. I will never delete people, so many memories rush back when you look at it

    On the topic of losing friends, it hurts, but you learn to realize the cost of associating with people you don't want to be like increases more with age - great video again!

  • @Milk-vw1cv
    @Milk-vw1cv 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +11

    As I've gotten older I've come to realise there's a difference between friends and people you just pass the time with (i.e most of the people you associated with at school)

    I’m not gonna lie I’m really struggling with accepting the loss of almost all of my childhood friends. Someway or another, I lost contact with or had some sort of falling out with every single friend I had growing up and/or going to school with. The ones I still follow on social media I see a lot of them still hanging out together, I’ve tried to reconnect but it seems like they have little to no interest in doing so and it feels like a lot of them forgot about me completely. It’s been really hard to come to terms with because I grew up with a lot of these people and have so many childhood memories with them. Making friends has been hard in my adult life. Most people I know are just work acquaintances and we’re all so busy it’s almost impossible to make plans to hangout or even hop on a video game with them. I know friends come and go but an acknowledgement of my existence every now and then from some of these people I used to spend countless hours hanging out or video games with would be nice.

    I witnessed all of my guy friends become simps unable to handle women at all. They could not have guy friends while having a girlfriend it was one or the other for them.
    I remember one friend in our last year of highschool would go to school and in the morning before class be with his gf, then between breaks, then during lunch breaks, then after school they would hangout, and then after that they would call, every single day, giving friends 0 time at all to talk.
    It is what it is

      lots of dudes suck at staying in touch with the boys once they find a lady, it's unfortunate but true

      This is where you learn who your real friends are. Unfortunately some of them are just using you until someone better (i.e. with a vagina) comes along.

      I've come across multiple situations like this and it really comes down to them not being able to set boundaries with their gf. Their gf takes the reigns and it's like they're cool with it. I just don't understand why.

    I've been separated from the majority of my friends just because of life. We all still keep in touch and get together whenever they come home for the holidays. Nothing better than the day 1 homies who are there no matter what.

    having a gf is one thing but getting one and then acting like your friends don't exist immediately after getting into a relationship is wild to me. How is it healthy to not have guy friends and just be around your girl 24/7?

    • @NorthHollywood

      Usually the girl is the one that tells the guy to cut off their friends and devote their attention to them.

    Man, this makes me think of all the friends I made on Xbox 360/ PS3 back in the day. The personal connections, deep chats and... now only 5% of them are active. I sometimes wonder how they've been, where they've ended up, if they remember me, etc. Oh yeah and GROWING UP SUCKS lol.

    • @whylearntech
      @whylearntech  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Lmao the whole going out every weekend being super fun up until mid 20s but now it's painful and not fun. I hit that at 28 and rarely go out now. Idk how people binge drink in their 30s+ because it really is painful and ruins multiple days.
