  • There are many women like me who have no friends, by choice or by chance and that is ok, you are not alone. Here is my friendship to no friendship story. Let me know in the comments your thoughts on not having any friends in Jamaica.

      I truly understand why you don't have that go-to-person. When the time comes you will know it. Just wondering if you attend church now.
      I love you though. Love your accent and I feel blessed to have found you in this space❤. I have friends(not many though) but I have my church family. You are wonderful! Your sense of humour is next to none

      Very hurtful I recently got a friend and every time we go shopping and I buy anything. Even though her style is not the same as mine she would just want whatever she see me with. And try to get something like it or the same thing and started trying to dress exactly like me if I stop at her house she would just steal whatever she wants out the bag if I go😂 to the bathroom and next time I see her she would be wearing it in front of me and trying to tell me it’s not mine she bought it somewhere else she was much bigger than me but would squeeze herself into whatever it was as long as it stretched. The last straw was when I stop at her house another day and took my wig and a hat that I was wearing of and put them in a plastic bag while sitting in the kitchen 😅 and she ask me you wanna put the bag in the room and took the wig and hat out the bag I ask her for my bag when I was leaving and she pretended as if she didn’t know what bag I was talking about then she finally gave me the bag and say check it I didn’t because I didn’t expect her to steal a wig that I had already worn I check when I was already outside and she said you could get it tomorrow and then she didn’t answer her phone when she finally answered her phone she said she didn’t know what I was talking about I stopped dealing with her and saw her one day walking on the street with same hat and wig on. I just said you thief and keep walking. Never spoke to her again.

It makes me sad when I hear so many women talk about not having any friends because of various hurtful experiences or losses they had with friends. I've also experienced some very deeply hurtful things with some of my closest friends. But I'm so so grateful for the deep and real friendships I continue to make and keep. There is so much beauty in those, even if it is a risk...it's a risk worth taking. Abrazos.

    I'm very happy to come across your channel, and your storytelling pulled me right in.
    I've had to step away from NUFF friendships in the last few years.
    For over 20 years, I've had a deep connection with Cuba, (I live here in Kingston) and have been there many times staying with local families.
    Probably one of the most important people in my life journey was my first Padrino (may he RIP). He lived in Jamaica for about 10 years before he left for the USA (,same dangerous Mexico crossing), but he built a good life in Miami before he passed away.
    Watching your stories brought back so many memories from my past 20 yrs 😊

      The thing I adore about the culture is everyone sitting around and eating together and laughing like crazy about every little thing & teasing each other. So yes when you said the Jcan work culture was a shock because it's so conservative I completely understood how that was strange for you.

The closest to a friend I have are my sisters. I'm skeptical about female friendships because I honestly feel anxiety about trusting women in general. I, however, am more comfortable with male friends even tho I keep them at arms length. Guess I feel I know what they are about and how to handle them. I love that u are an uptown sketel that's hilarious😅. I've been seeing snippets from u for a while now and been enjoying your Spanish Patwa accent.

    Very interesting video. Sometimes a person's upbringing and past experiences influence how they feel about friends. But friends should make you feel better, offer support, be there for you. Many friendships are toxic, cause more drama, or they are one-sided. One gives and the other only takes without giving. I have very few friends, but many hands stretched out for help all the time, so i get it. Love your videos. Mucho amor y buena suerte !

      @@Nyammings this was true for me in high school and primary school. I still have friends from then but the need to keep up with birthdays, meetups etc with adult friends can be hard when you’re not coming from a well off background. Maintaining friendships with people who have migrated is a lot harder if you’re not able to travel often etc. Sometimes no matter how much love is there bonds wear thin when you can’t be physically present.
