My friend from the end of the video is mad that some of you are skipping her part. Scroll back up and watch the whole thing or she won’t be my friend any more. 👿
I spent SO long trying to make friends.... like I would literally just ask ‘will you be my friend’ and I failed at that until one day I was avoiding all the people by hiding behind a tree and being lonely and one girl said ‘hey get out from behind that tree you weirdo!’ and now we’re best friends :D
as a homeschooler, i wholeheartedly agree with the description. I like my education but it sure is more difficult to meet new ppl. making friends is a piece of cake in school, don't waste it.
I’m also a homeschooler but I have a bestie right down the road and he goes to public school sooo I’ve basically befriended all of his friends so I’m a very lucky person and I thank god for it I just wanted to tell you I fell you my dear friend
Statistically, most people spend most of their time thinking about themselves. Even if you did completely embarrass yourself, and even if they did notice, they still don't care and will forget about it promptly unless you are already friends or siblings. Take comfort in the knowledge that no one is paying any attention to you 90% of the time.
Could we all take a moment to appreciate Tim Tom's fun, chill animation style? It's so laid back and comfortable, I love it! :D You are such a legend in the animation community Tim Tom, I hope I can make half as entertaining videos as yours one day! :)
@@PLAYplaceprod.church you literally are the 6th person to say this shit and only have one person on your side go to the other comments that say the same shit everyone else saying the same thing as me it's dead let it die
In all honesty, I can say with confidence that I have never gone up to somebody and asked if they wanted to be my friend. Usually I would get friends by just waiting for somebody to talk to be, and one day kids did start talking to me. Ever since I have been less shy. I still have social anxiety and 100% agree with him still
I love that the intro people made it out okay! I was worried about them the whole time!! Now we just need a bonus seen of the kitties all finding their respective owners 😹
This made me think of how social environment can have a big impact of social skills, for example for my last year of I think elementary school (don't know the school system translate, about age 11 to 12 ) I went to a special ed school while it was not necessary and this impacted my social skills extremely, nothing wrong with those kids but if you're around them 7 hours (and I'm talking severe adhd, autism, down syndrome and other things) and the teacher treat you as less capable you really start to doubt yourself and then you start to talk less and less to people and then you start to isolated yourself cuz you feel inferior and then you need a year of psychologist appointments and then another 2 years of middle school ( age 13 to 15) to come out your shell and even then your social skills are still under developed, so yeah just know you have to try to get good at social things

People like people who take interest in them. Be the friend to others that you want then to be to you. Make an effort to properly communicate. Check on them. Show them they are valued. Just like you would want to be. You are a great person, with a great personality, great spirit, and great sense of humor. Most of these people here are interested in who you are. Take interest in them. You’ll have plenty of great friends. You’ve got this! SN: Social media is not proper communication. Pick up the phone and call more often or at least as much as text.
I was real quite at high school. I was awkward and loved tech. I made 3 friends in the first year, the first vanished (like GONE!) The second moved away, and the 3rd started driftin away, to a new group. I didnt make propper friends till the final years. We played dnd, played games and hanged out. It took awhile but i did it, i also apparently became popular during those years.....
Ahh this is so relatable! Someone having anxiety and being a pure introvert at heart, it was super hard for me to make friends. I usually was awkward and embarrassed when it came to interacting with someone.
Yay!! Another Tim Tom video! I always love watching your videos Tim, you and your team are incredibly talented! I really like the smooth transitions, the animation, the backgrounds (I had to keep pausing the video to look at the backgrounds because gosh some of them are stunning! Like the misty forest scene at 0:13 the cafe scene at 6:50 and so many other backgrounds, the amount of detail in each different background is really impressive) The way you tell your stories is super engaging and makes the video so fun and interesting! As a fellow victim of social anxiety I can definitely relate to a lot of what you said in the video and the amount of relief I felt on your behalf at 7:05 is immense! But seriously you and you team should be really proud of this video, your amazing! Also spoiler alert for the people who haven’t watched till the end yet: I love that ending! The climber and frog being fine has 100% just made my day :)
I had a couple friends as a kid. Children are just more open to new experiences. Making adult friends is super hard since everyone is on a different schedule and have trauma from past friendships. I literally havent made a single new friend since I left high school like 6 years ago.
I find making friends super hard. Like I was hated in school so I never learned to make friends so now that I am an adult I have like no idea. Lucky for me my husband already had friends from high school so I squeezed myself in there... (really he felt bad because they made a D&D group and he knew how much I loved D&D so once they did the 'Wife's can join' he came running home to tell me. Now they consider me a friend). Something weird about me is like I am happy to talk to a random person in like a long line or something as if we are friends and I will even think about how I totally want to hang out with this person, but once we reach our destination I get too nervous and start to think "Nah, she probably only talked to me because she felt like she had to" "I bet she hated talking to me" so I just shut up and never see them again.
Its actually kinda funny that this came out at this time when I had a terrible social anxiety relapse. I spend a few days hating being around some of my best friends bc it felt like every time I said something, I was being judged because people would give me those looks. I honestly don't think I was being that irrational until I locked myself in the bathroom bc I was so sick of one person. And so I set out to just...find a new friend. No sh-t, I was like, Imma find me a new and true bestie so I can feel better about myself. It's going great, guys. I started talking to my brother's friend and things are going well.
Tips on how to make friends (On a bus or public transportations) Start by starting a conversation about your favourite topics (example:radios) and sometimes ask where their destination is. Or ask for their opinion on your topic! Talking about jokes too can intrest them in joining your topic
Yes sometimes is hard to make friends, the thing that I do to make new friends is this steps: Step 1 scan the room and see who are in groups and and who don’t.

Your videos make me feel normal because now I know that I'm not overthinking and I thought I was being dramatic but now I know that I'm not the only one who's like this :)
Man this is so reliable. For some reason I always think that I am ruining a friendship with someone despite evidence to the contrary. Maybe I should do the same thing you did. Thanks man!👍
As someone who recently talked to some of my school friends that i havent talked to since before the pandemic started i had nothing to say to my friend and just said "i have no idea about what we should to talk about" and i just sat there feeling very akward and went home hoping id never interact with someone in real life ever again :D
That's what youtube is for. You put on a "near death caught on camera" video and laugh. It's not like your friends did anything in lockdown either. Everyone is starting from scratch

Amazing animation, TimTom!! Wow, as someone who also has a lot of social anxiety, this is SOOOO relatable haha!! Thanks so much for the video and for sharing!! Keep up the great work!😁👍
This video really means a lot to me. I started the next stage of my life journey at a new school where I was the only newcomer and most everyone else had been there for years. I have ADHD and probably social anxiety too, and I'm always worried that I messed up after every single conversation. My social skills aren't the best, and I feel like I've been struggling to make friends and arrange things outside of school. My hobbies aren't the most common either (drawing, animation, writing, et cetera). Knowing that people I admire (read: most anyone who can draw) struggle with the same things is pretty inspiring. Thanks for that. Edit: you call that thing at 2:50 an icecream cone-? XD
how has it been going now? I moved schools a few years ago feeling really confident and made some awesome friends but got into some stuff with one of them and really lost some of that confidence thinking everyone hated me. Until my last day at school alot of my other friends was saying theyd miss me and how much fun we had... I realise I was doubting myself that whole time 🥲 anxiety just sucks fr
@@flounks2494 Just went to a social event and felt like a trapped animal for the first 15 minutes or so. Talked to one person and felt a bit better, but still am just really bad at socializing, even compared to other new students with ADHD. I think it's a me problem.
making friends in setting where everyone else is already established is super intimidating and difficult. don't get on yourself too much about it. Just be yourself is such an over done cliché, but for good reason. Being yourself won't get you friends right away, but it will get you friends. and they will be true friends and you'll have a much deeper connection. maybe the school or even community center in your town have writing clubs or something you can check out!
Til Tok, you've inspired me so much lately and I wanted you to know that:) I love your videos and they make me laugh. I always relate to your videos. And your one of my favorite TH-cam's
Somehow I made the most friends when I didn't want any and I still have some of them to this day. I was insanely happy when it turned out you made a friend just like yourself, that is some maximum reassurance right there.
I'm soooo happy to see you back posting again! Also really happy to see how many of us stayed to see if you would come back! Again, so so so happy that you did!
As a guy with a strong social anxiety I can agree to every single second of this video, last year I moved homes and it was my first year in a new school and someone from another class turned out to be my neighbour next door so we usually go to and from school in the same way which is kinda long specially when you're alone and not talking to anyone, and still yet I haven't figured out a way to start a conversation or talk with him.
Glad to see another one of your vids man! Can totally relate to the Social Anxiety dude, it sucks. But hey, I guess even with that problem, we still somehow managed to work through it and make friends of our own. Keep up the good work!
You know as a teenager that's also a introvert, sure it's sometimes hard to make friends. But, by using my social skills I work and my personality, I manage to have my first ever best friend (at school bc I had a cousin that's the same age as me but a few months older than me, but were best friends.) And will try to make more for my Sophomore year (got done with my freshman year.) And, If TimTom see this try to work on your social skills and conversating in order to make some cool lasting friendships, and I'll do the same to have some cool friends in the future.
I only have 2 friends right now, and those 2 friends are both brothers AND twins of each other, so it's ALMOST like I have 1 friend. At church one day, they talked about how most people probably don't even know what are the struggles that their 5 BEST friends are going through. All I could think of was, "Wow, it's bold of you to assume that EVERYONE has MORE than 5 friends!"
I feel this so hard I have autism and I act weirdly sometimes talk weirdly and I probably look kind of strange too. I can tell if people think I’m weird and a lot of people have no problem expressing it to me so at this time I just take it as a compliment. When I was younger used to be so easy but now it’s hard to make friends with people my age. Adults are surprised at how smart I am and how knowledgeable and talented I am and little kids also like me but people my own age just kind of outcast me. Eventually I just stopped caring or trying anytime they were group discussions I would avoid them simply because I didn’t know what to say I was just spend my time focusing on my studies my instruments my drawings and I was just spend time alone instead of with other people. I’ve always wanted to be cool and accepted but I don’t know when that’s going to happen. At least I’m getting slightly better so kind of proud of myself for that but hopefully sophomore year will be different and not to mention how sad being single is.
I was like “wow, these stories sounds familiar” and then I was like “Ooh, I probably have social anxiety. Dang, why didn’t I put that together sooner?”
The first real conversation I remember having with my boyfriend was when we started talking to each other about our own lives and basically traumadumped for 3 hours x"D later i was super worried I made him feel uncomfortable, but then I thought "hey, crazy idea, maybe he felt like that too?" so I texted him and reassured him that it was fine that he told me a lot. And he texted back saying he was relieved that I'd sent that text!
Ah yes my favorite song “my palms were sweaty, knights are weak, my bishops ready, some guy brought some of his moms spaghetti. I was nervous, but in the surface, I also looked super nervous”
I literally walk up to random people at my school and try to start conversations with them and people still didn’t want to become friends. It can be frustrating due to being so involved in their friend groups they don’t want to welcome newcomers
I wish someone would walk up to me and just be friendly. I am introverted so I can only make like one friend a year as long as whoever sits next to me is friendly.
I wouldn't have made friends if when I moved here my first friend didn't look at me and go "This one is short af..I'll keep her" and then that's how I made all my other friends
when i was little i only had like 3 good friends so on the little meet the teacher night they had before i started first grade i saw this girl and she looked pretty chill so i literally grabbed her and told my mom she was my friend. we’re still best friends so my advice for making friends is to just grab random people and tell your mom you’re friends with them.
I'm 99% sure I have social anxiety too (never got I checked out so I'm not gonna self diagnose) and I just overthink this wayyyyyyyy too much, I just always have this gut feeling that the person just hates me, IDK why I have issues =P
When I was a child and teen I was ahead a year in school, listened to and played classical music, spent hours studying for fun, enjoyed reading Shakespeare, was athletic, was able to read body language and tone of voice, had proper manners, could hold a proper conversation with adults BUT put me in a room with kids around my age and tell me to make friends and I would fail embarrassingly every time.
6:22 Wow. I also get that feeling. Allthough i don't in the aftermath, cause i don't wonna bother them even more (because i am conflict shy). Could this mean i have sosial anxiety?
Hey, I also sometimes have social anxiety when it come with friends. I’m not always worried about losing friends about if I screwed things up, but sometimes I still have lingering feelings like you did
When I started high school in year seven I was friends with my whole class. We had a nice teacher and even if one of us did start puberty it wouldn’t really be all that bad. Then when year eight we were told that we were going to be mixed up with other year eight classes and our teacher had quit her job because of it and it was horrible. The boys started treating me like a hero because I had autism and then girls only said hello and how are you and when I tried to make conversation they just give out one answer. Now I’m in college doing an art course and I’ve tried so hard to make friends but most people keep themselves to themselves while one group are just plain nuts. What I really want and wish for is a girlfriend, my sister has moved in with her boyfriend and mom and her partner have a house that I’m living and dad is now married and my two only friends who live in Surrey struggle to see me as I do the same. What’s your advice?

Knowing what the problem is doesn’t make it disappear. It just makes it possible to deal with the problem.

Tips on how to make friends
(On a bus or public transportations)
Start by starting a conversation about your favourite topics (example:radios) and sometimes ask where their destination is. Or ask for their opinion on your topic! Talking about jokes too can intrest them in joining your topic
Yes sometimes is hard to make friends, the thing that I do to make new friends is this steps:
Step 1 scan the room and see who are in groups and and who don’t.
Step 2 see that person that looks nervous or is just lonely you got it?.. great
Step 3 approach them with a smile and just say hi 👋🏻
Step 4 ask them the basics,their name,age,school, or the place that you are at the moment.
Step 5. Every time you see them talk to them don’t just stay standing there ask them about their day or week.
Bonus: every time you see someone new in the class or the place you are going) talk to them first then you will gain new friends

Thanks for that.
Edit: you call that thing at 2:50 an icecream cone-? XD
Nope! That's a torch.
@@TimTom yes
how has it been going now? I moved schools a few years ago feeling really confident and made some awesome friends but got into some stuff with one of them and really lost some of that confidence thinking everyone hated me. Until my last day at school alot of my other friends was saying theyd miss me and how much fun we had... I realise I was doubting myself that whole time 🥲 anxiety just sucks fr
@@flounks2494 Just went to a social event and felt like a trapped animal for the first 15 minutes or so. Talked to one person and felt a bit better, but still am just really bad at socializing, even compared to other new students with ADHD. I think it's a me problem.
making friends in setting where everyone else is already established is super intimidating and difficult. don't get on yourself too much about it. Just be yourself is such an over done cliché, but for good reason. Being yourself won't get you friends right away, but it will get you friends. and they will be true friends and you'll have a much deeper connection. maybe the school or even community center in your town have writing clubs or something you can check out!
I feel ya. At this point, I don't even wanna make any friends
I’m so glad you made sure that everyone from the intro was fine.
I dunno man you where pretty easy to talk to when we met XD
Til Tok, you've inspired me so much lately and I wanted you to know that:) I love your videos and they make me laugh. I always relate to your videos. And your one of my favorite TH-cam's
I’VE NEVER RELATED SO MUCH ON A SPIRITUALLY LEVEL THAN I HAVE AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO
Somehow I made the most friends when I didn't want any and I still have some of them to this day. I was insanely happy when it turned out you made a friend just like yourself, that is some maximum reassurance right there.
I love how timtom added one piece in the background
I'm soooo happy to see you back posting again! Also really happy to see how many of us stayed to see if you would come back! Again, so so so happy that you did!
Thank you for this. I have social anxiety even though I still go to social gatherings and it's more than just being afraid to meet people in person
0:15 honestly if someone climbed up a cliff with their bare hands just to be my friend I’d immediately become their freind
Yeah but why does that cliff look like a picture from botw
Its from i cliff bar (litterly)@@philipmcdonald8839
I love your content it just keeps getting better and better!
It took so long for him to upload this… but it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
And plus, of course timtom’s peanut brain is ALWAYS right!!
As a guy with a strong social anxiety I can agree to every single second of this video, last year I moved homes and it was my first year in a new school and someone from another class turned out to be my neighbour next door so we usually go to and from school in the same way which is kinda long specially when you're alone and not talking to anyone, and still yet I haven't figured out a way to start a conversation or talk with him.
Glad to see another one of your vids man! Can totally relate to the Social Anxiety dude, it sucks. But hey, I guess even with that problem, we still somehow managed to work through it and make friends of our own. Keep up the good work!
When he made his version of Eminem's song's lyrics I died of laughter
Edit : ITS GOOD TO HAVE U BACK TIMTOM!!!
TimTom: "Doing friends can be hard, OR I’m just really bad at it".
Me: "Doing friends ITS hard, ITS A FACT"
Legend has it, that frog is still that dude's hood ornament to this day.
You know as a teenager that's also a introvert, sure it's sometimes hard to make friends. But, by using my social skills I work and my personality, I manage to have my first ever best friend (at school bc I had a cousin that's the same age as me but a few months older than me, but were best friends.) And will try to make more for my Sophomore year (got done with my freshman year.) And, If TimTom see this try to work on your social skills and conversating in order to make some cool lasting friendships, and I'll do the same to have some cool friends in the future.

It’s been awhile since this man last upload it looks awesome, keep up with the great work bro! 💚
Adviser: Just don't think about it!
Me: Gee thanks, my fears have evaporated, amazing. You're SO good at your job.
I only have 2 friends right now, and those 2 friends are both brothers AND twins of each other, so it's ALMOST like I have 1 friend. At church one day, they talked about how most people probably don't even know what are the struggles that their 5 BEST friends are going through. All I could think of was, "Wow, it's bold of you to assume that EVERYONE has MORE than 5 friends!"
I feel this so hard I have autism and I act weirdly sometimes talk weirdly and I probably look kind of strange too. I can tell if people think I’m weird and a lot of people have no problem expressing it to me so at this time I just take it as a compliment. When I was younger used to be so easy but now it’s hard to make friends with people my age. Adults are surprised at how smart I am and how knowledgeable and talented I am and little kids also like me but people my own age just kind of outcast me. Eventually I just stopped caring or trying anytime they were group discussions I would avoid them simply because I didn’t know what to say I was just spend my time focusing on my studies my instruments my drawings and I was just spend time alone instead of with other people. I’ve always wanted to be cool and accepted but I don’t know when that’s going to happen. At least I’m getting slightly better so kind of proud of myself for that but hopefully sophomore year will be different and not to mention how sad being single is.
As another autistic person, I don’t make friends with people my age, I’m 12 and I’m friends with all my teachers, but no one my age.
I was like “wow, these stories sounds familiar” and then I was like “Ooh, I probably have social anxiety. Dang, why didn’t I put that together sooner?”
0:37 😂 was not expecting that 😂
When the world needed him the most, he came back

Every video he posts someone says this it's getting really old come up with some new shit
The first real conversation I remember having with my boyfriend was when we started talking to each other about our own lives and basically traumadumped for 3 hours x"D later i was super worried I made him feel uncomfortable, but then I thought "hey, crazy idea, maybe he felt like that too?" so I texted him and reassured him that it was fine that he told me a lot. And he texted back saying he was relieved that I'd sent that text!
Ah yes my favorite song “my palms were sweaty, knights are weak, my bishops ready, some guy brought some of his moms spaghetti. I was nervous, but in the surface, I also looked super nervous”
Disappointingly relatable 😅
agrEEEEEED
Way to relatable,wayy to relatable
Disappointingly relatable 😅
Me too
same
Is anyone going to talk about how he hasn’t posted for seven months!!!!!
We all need more TimTom!!!
yeah
Good animation takes time.
Tim: I WANNA MAKE A FRIEND
Tim Again: *eats himself*
another great timtom video! now my day is better.
TimTom coming back is one of the best things that has ever happend.
always worth the wait.
0:31 I thought that frog was going to jump in the drain😂😂😂😂😂
I literally walk up to random people at my school and try to start conversations with them and people still didn’t want to become friends. It can be frustrating due to being so involved in their friend groups they don’t want to welcome newcomers
I wish someone would walk up to me and just be friendly. I am introverted so I can only make like one friend a year as long as whoever sits next to me is friendly.
Honestly I’ve gotten to the point where I’m fine with having no friends and being all alone… I keep telling myself

I wouldn't have made friends if when I moved here my first friend didn't look at me and go "This one is short af..I'll keep her" and then that's how I made all my other friends
Man it’s been such a long while since you’ve made a video I watched this as soon as possible I love your animations
when i was little i only had like 3 good friends so on the little meet the teacher night they had before i started first grade i saw this girl and she looked pretty chill so i literally grabbed her and told my mom she was my friend. we’re still best friends so my advice for making friends is to just grab random people and tell your mom you’re friends with them.
🥰
When the world needed him most he returned
I'm 99% sure I have social anxiety too (never got I checked out so I'm not gonna self diagnose) and I just overthink this wayyyyyyyy too much, I just always have this gut feeling that the person just hates me, IDK why I have issues =P
i suffer the same problem, but one thing i learnt is that saying "will you be my friend" is the worst way to make friends

My palms were sweaty
Nights are weak
My bishops: ready
One guy brought some
of his mom's spaghetti
Like for Lose yourself:)
Yay, froggo and climber guy are okay! I’ll be your friend TimTom
When I was a child and teen I was ahead a year in school, listened to and played classical music, spent hours studying for fun, enjoyed reading Shakespeare, was athletic, was able to read body language and tone of voice, had proper manners, could hold a proper conversation with adults BUT put me in a room with kids around my age and tell me to make friends and I would fail embarrassingly every time.
6:22 Wow. I also get that feeling. Allthough i don't in the aftermath, cause i don't wonna bother them even more (because i am conflict shy).
Could this mean i have sosial anxiety?
Same just started secondary school and all my friends went to different schools so it's been really tough
2:40 noo
Help I'm dead on the floor 🤣
Hahahaha!
Yes I’m glad he’s back what a legend .
Hey, I also sometimes have social anxiety when it come with friends. I’m not always worried about losing friends about if I screwed things up, but sometimes I still have lingering feelings like you did
When I started high school in year seven I was friends with my whole class. We had a nice teacher and even if one of us did start puberty it wouldn’t really be all that bad. Then when year eight we were told that we were going to be mixed up with other year eight classes and our teacher had quit her job because of it and it was horrible. The boys started treating me like a hero because I had autism and then girls only said hello and how are you and when I tried to make conversation they just give out one answer. Now I’m in college doing an art course and I’ve tried so hard to make friends but most people keep themselves to themselves while one group are just plain nuts. What I really want and wish for is a girlfriend, my sister has moved in with her boyfriend and mom and her partner have a house that I’m living and dad is now married and my two only friends who live in Surrey struggle to see me as I do the same. What’s your advice?
