      I(30) never had a friend in my life.
      I always was mocked in my life, that I never made a friend. I was always interested in other people, but they didnt care. I even bought a birthday present for a person, I thought was my friend. He said, I should stop contacting him.
      I also never experienced Love. Every Girl rejected me. No hug, no kiss, no own family.
      Beside that I work in a dead end job. I always do overhours to meet end needs. But thats mostly not enough. I need to turn to alcohol or other drugs to deal with daily stress of poverty and social isolation.
      Any Advice?

    I've been told I'm unapproachable because I'm too deep. To me, that's stating that I'm not shallow. I take that as a compliment. Unfortunately people do not take the time to consider that having depth also means you have compassion and empathy. Those who refuse to make an effort to understand and know you are those who remain committed to conforming to a superficial society. I consider myself a person who is willing to stand in your corner , but you have to be willing to let me in the door first. I'll knock but I'm more than willing to keep going if it's locked.

Sometimes it made me feel quite depressed but nowadays I just brush it off. It's actually better to not deal with people like which funnily there's a lot, I just do my thing, practice some mindfulness and keep moving forward. Interestingly enough those people who I have come across are not advancing much in their life though they want to keep showing they have a the insta perfect type of life but in reality is not perfect.

      There is nothing wrong with that because some people are born deep and super sensitive. It is the non confirmist and outliers that take the society forward and not the majority of the confirming masses. Everyone has a role to play in the scheme of nature. Nature does not confer its best qualities without exacting a price. In the general the price for being different is lonliness and sometimes it can be hard because a human being is a social animal. At the end of the day we have to be ourselves to be comfortable.

      I’m the opposite of an empath. When people get emotional I don’t care and leave them cause they’re so damn annoying. The closest thing I ever had to friends was a group of kids I’d sit with at lunch during high school and primary school but I never talked to them. I never even sat with anyone at college though. I tried to make friends in freshman year but it didn’t work out. I was way too awkward. I resent humanity now and don’t want friends anymore because I hate people in general yet I am desperate for connection. I originally wanted to become an engineer because I wanted to save the world with designing green energy technologies. Now I realize the world isn’t worth saving. If the entire world was uninhabitable in 100 years I could care less. I’m just going to follow the money.

    Same for me. I literally have 0 friends. Not even a boyfriend. It’s really embarrassing sometimes when my parents are like “why don’t you hang out with ____?”
    Like I have no friends who am I supposed to hang out with? I have a few acquaintances that I see like twice a year.
    A lot of the friends I used to have also got married, had kids and that changes A LOT because they rarely have time and if they have time for you it always has to be planned, there’s a time limit and the kids are there as well. You can’t just spontaneously do something with that person anymore which sucks.
    I feel very very lonely most of the time and cry myself to sleep like 5 times a week because I have nobody to talk to or do things with. It’s been like this for so many years I don’t even know what it’s like to have friends or hang out with others.
    The holidays and New Year’s Eve are especially hard for me because that’s when you’re supposed to hang out with friends and go to parties and stuff like that.
    I even lied about it to my therapist. She asked me if I have a support system, if I have any friends and I said yes because I was too embarrassed to admit that I literally spend all my time alone and never speak to anyone.
    I have also been really suicidal because of this and genuinely don’t really see a reason to keep on living if I don’t have anyone.

I feel very similar to you, I’m turning 28 soon and really freaking out about being this old not having experienced so many things that most people my age have, like hanging out with friends, having romantic partners (i mean even if they don’t work out, just having the life experience that comes with these relationships are important for you I feel) and even living alone..I’m not even motivated enough to move out on my own, firstly my parents don’t care since I do work and help out and in our culture it’s usually common to have generations in a single home..and I also would have NO ONE AT ALL if I left my family since I have no friends of girlfriend that would come visit me...I feel in a rut and don’t know when things will start turning for me, it’s so hard to make friends when you have absolutely zero connections and the only time you leave the house is to work, shop, go to parks or trails with family. The only friend I was still in contact with from way back in high school has now ignored me since last year (he has his own life going on) and the only women I have been able to date (like 3 my whole life) all get disinterested once they find out how im a recluse and have no friends.. yeah its rough.

    I am alone but ain't lonely... Having no friends should not mean you should be automatically labelled as depressed, miserable or boring. You can have friends and still find your self unhappy. I don't personally don't mind being alone because it honestly brings peace of mind and joy to me whether you choose to believe me or not, but still I speak the truth... I've given up on making new friends because it only brought stress and anxiety in my life. I've reached the stage in my life where I don't mind being a HERMIT or becoming of a HERMIT one day.

Coffee, shopping, yoga, walks, talks, everything. I get so jealous of those who have that bond with someone. I totally get what you mean by if you reach out you feel like you’re bothering them, it’s part of the reason why I don’t make much effort anymore and I feel like everyone already has their ‘circle’ if you know what I mean. You really seem like someone I would click with on many levels 🤍 thanks for putting this video out and sharing with us. It’s nice to know we’re not alone feeling this way

    I am 31 now. I find it difficult to find true friends. I tried to connect with people even schoolmates but they tend to be envious and likes to make unnecessary drama and gossip... i hate having to even hear them badmouthing each other, etc. People who have real friends that are supportive are lucky. But when i turned 29, i learned to detach myself from people. I only try to talk to them when they talk to me. I rarely go on socialmedia also so I don’t have to be obligated to like their posts since i have some friends or acquaintances who expect you to like their photos on ig just because they saw you online or it will be drama. Yes, that pathetic like highschool kids...😕 i love my dog, my own company, my family and my bf. I still consider a few people my friends but not close friends that i can trust much and talk in a deeper level. Many people are toxic and their presence is exhausting. So im glad to know that i am not the only one who feels this way.

      I feel exactly the same way about people in general, they don't know how to act like mature people and it just bothers me. I am also very lucky to have found a pair of really good friends in school despite this, and my family has always been there for me when I needed them the most. But it's always been a struggle for me to get out into groups and socialize, everyone just seems to become something else than themselves and it is bothering and sad at the same time. I just hope one day I meet a group of people that are just like me. Like they say in my country: "The one who searches, finds".

      I always was mocked in my life, that I never made a friend. I was always interested in other people, but they didnt care. I even bought a birthday present for a person, I thought was my friend. He said, I should stop contacting him.
      I also never experienced Love. Every Girl rejected me. No hug, no kiss, no own family.
      Beside that I work in a dead end job. I always do overhours to meet end needs. But thats mostly not enough. I need to turn to alcohol or other drugs to deal with daily stress of poverty and social isolation.

    I had a best friend for years. Then she married a horrid little shit. She allowed him to brain wash her. She started saying racist things that I never knew she felt. So I decided to find a new friend. Yes it takes time. It can be done. Just volunteer or join a club, be gracious and not a gossip. A friendship will grow. It did for me.

    @adasanti7312 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You have helped many people by talking about this. The society tends to stigmatize the power of solitude instead of praising people who are strong and independent enough to be on their own. I always say when you gain that power to enjoy your own company and do stuff on your own, it is such a stable state. It’s lovely to have a close friend but it’s hard to find them. I have formed many friendships to find out down the way the “friends” wanted something. It’s like many people don’t know the value of friendship because their own goal in life is having a family. Having a family is great but there are so many other aspects in life. Thanks again for this great video.

I don’t leave the house, at all, for that matter. Definitely no friends or family, I don’t have parents. I’m alone all day and lately I’ve been struggling with it, bad. I’m so alone, I have my dog and me. It’s hard, I cry a lot and it’s become so bad I find myself just staring at walls for blocks of time or literally walking in circles for no reason.

It’s true doing things alone is fine but there’s times that you want a buddy to go on an adventure. I have a baseball glove and a softball 🥎 on my home office it’s been there collecting dust for years. I don’t have anyone I can even call to go throw a ball around at the park. Every time I walk past the glove I’m reminded of that fact. Some days it hurts me more than others.

    Wow, this is so relatable from start to end. I literally felt like I was looking at myself. I turned 23 this year, but I couldn't shake off the thought that I lived a solidly wrong life because I didn't have a single friend to open up to. My problem is that even if I meet new people, I can't get rid of that invisible imaginary wall that I built to protect myself and no matter how I get close to people I can't maintain that relationship. I try to use that stress as the driving force for self-development but I'm still lonely as hell. I wish i could be mature as you but i guess it's too hard for me. We've never met and haven't talked, but I feel like I made a friend just like me. Thank you for uploading this video it's good to know someone feels the same way.

    I think you are very brave and bold of you to film this video and put out there.
    I personally have a boyfriend who is my best friend but it is not the same as having a girlfriend. I have some friends like you describe, I m very thankful too to have them and I think they are awesome, but as you said they already have their "ride or die". So that feeling of not want to bother and text them first and ask them how they've been or ask them to go out, I have it too. I am actually 25 too and even though I live in Greece I can relate to the feeling you've described pretty well, as I also have reaserced and became part of social groups. Plus, now in this difficult times of covid-19 I am far away from my family (cause I work in another city than that, that I was born) and it gets much worse. I guess I m trying to say that this video hit right through my ❤️.
    I hope you are staying healthy and safe. Thank you for being so honest we need people like you who present their truth.

Talking about loneliness and friends ...It is one of the most difficult feelings that a person can express ...Certainly we need to share unity with true friends ... Sympathy is not what we want but love ... We want true love without reason without names .. It is simply love ...It is a relationship behind language and behind the mind .. I experienced this kind of friends .. but nothing remains ... all those beautiful feelings are gone ... because the friends are gone .. unfortunately they died .. Do you know what it means for all of your friends to die? After them, you will not find anyone who shares pure love or true friendship ...
    all I can say, my dear ... I give you my hand without any reason ... Let us share our unity with everyone and be one ...

I’m going to school for nursing and planning on moving to a city because I thought the problem was that I live rural and don’t meet many people. But idk. Life can be lonely, I also don’t have good relationships with my family, so all I really have is my boyfriend.

I think ut's important to acknowledge that socializing and having friends does not equal more joy or happiness! There are so many people trapped in toxic friendships that pull them down emotionally, and still they hold on to them... everything has ups and downs... maybe we have to choose the lesser of the two evils - which ever that may be individually

Its so hard to be so alone now that I'm older and don't even have any family. I didn't mind the pandemic as much as some because I'm so used to being alone.

      John 14: 21 He who has My (Jesus) commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
      John 7: 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He said in reference to the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

    I can relate to a lot of the things she was talking about. When I was a kid, I was in a big friend group. We did almost everything together. But we drifted apart as we got older, mainly because of how different I was compared to them. Middle school and high school made me feel like I was stuck on an inhabited island. But I had ways to comfort myself and help push through. Eventually when I became old enough, I started confronting these demons and really began to work on myself more. I can say that I’ve come far, I’m still an introvert and everything, but I’m getting better at being social with others. Now I don’t have a “best friend.” But I do have some good friends/companions that I talk to on a daily basis.

    I'm a private person., a lone wolf as they say. Friends want in and I simply rather not. People don't understand this about me. I can go to their house, hang out, whatever, but if they want me to extend the same comfort I simply can't do it. My home is my safe haven, a private oasis, a relief from the crazy world and the people in it. I learned that people need people but I just want acquaintances yet people can't understand that. The question is, do I want to cash in my private life to have friends??? The answer is no. People are too much work, they take too much of my time, they are always in need. They can be mean, untrustworthy, judgemental, cliquey, I simply don't care to give the effort it takes to sort through as in the end, I'm never happy with the final product. It would be great if I could have a few acquaintances, though.

    Thanks a lot for sharing all of this. It took a lot of courage but is also helping so many of us out here realize we're not completely alone. I wish we could all somehow become friends and support each other. I've been moving around a lot over the years and have zero close friends where I currently live. I think that this is the loneliest I've ever been in my whole life (and of course, the pandemic sure hasn't helped!) I try every day to love myself and be at peace with myself, but it sure is easy for my mind to be my own worst critic and enemy. I'm moving to a new town soon and am trying to put positive intentions out there to meet even one or two people who could eventually become closer friends that I can bare my soul to in due time. Sending love, comfort and light to everyone else who is feeling alone right now and in their lives in general.

    I think having true friends is a blessing and having no friends is normal given that in this time and age people more than ever are competing for jobs, careers, partners, etc. Not to mention that people that you call your friends can have a negative influence on your choices, even if it isn't apparent to you just yet. These are harsh realities to live with, and yet social interaction is extremely important. We should think of hanging out or having friends to interact with as a way to keep ourselves connected to the world.

    Ive always had a lot of friend's growing up. In elementary- high school i was honestly pretty popular. I was kind of known as the really nice and funny kid who was basically friends with everyone. i did gymnastics for 7 years, did band for 6 years, and i literally always had friends everywhere i went.
    college i guess is a different story. i do have an amazing group of friends but we don't really see/talk often. I only see one friend of that friend group regularly, he's my best friend, but i lowkey feel like they don;t want to see me anymore and is kind of tired of me. he's the only person i honestly hang out with, and it's scary because who am i going to hang out with now? i see another friend in that friend group occasionally but she has her own friends too, so we're not always hanging.
    Ive joined clubs in college and they were great and i made friends, but we don't keep in touch anymore bc i transferred. and then the friends i had in high school, even though we're all ride of die for each other, they also don't care about me? like everytime i speak they don;t give me a response, just a reaction. like im talking about a good day i had or a crazy experience, i dont get anything much out of it. we used to be super close, like we used to chat in there all the time. people still chat in their frequently, but for some reason everytime i open my mouth, the group goes silent. like i know they have nothing against me, it's just that i don't matter enough to get a response and start a conversation with. i deleted my groupchat app a couple minuyes ago and im going to keep it deleted bc i really cannot handle them anymore im tired.
    I'm friends with everyone in my nursing program. we're a small class of 12 people. you'd think we'd all be best friends right? we;;, we're all friends, but i wouldnt say we're super close. ya we talk everyday bc we're in school together, but that's it. i used to be super close with 2 of my classmates but they both dropped out. im in a friend group of 4 and ya we're all pretty close, we're not really friends outside of school. like i wouldnt ask to hang out with any of them individually hoenstly. maybe when we have class socials, yeah, but that's about it. im very different than everyone in my class too. like,,,,i dont have that feeling that im completely vibing with anyone? and it sucks bc school takes up all my time, like i cant really branch off and make new friends.
    It's just weird and i dont know what i did wrong. it just seems like no one really cares about me. no one wants to date me either, and i think im really cute?? tomorrow is halloween and i deleted like all of my social media apps bc im scared to get fomo. i made plans to see my best friend tomorrow, but like i said earlier idk if he even wants to hang out with me bc i have a feeling he'd rather be with other ppl more fun or just in a bigger group.
    why can't people be content with me? like just me?
    i just feel like im too much for people. or im not much at all?
    (sorry im just ranting and it feels good getting it out bc im emotional rn lmaoooo) thank you for this video!

    I know it's not a competition. But she still has it much better than me. In school I had 0 friends. Literally. ZERO. I was very bullied. I developed a mental disorder called selective mutism. I literally couldn't speak to people. There's no way out of it, so I was forced to try. I learned to talk but it was EXTREMELY difficult. I sounded quiet, stuttered a lot, and it almost sounded and felt like I was hoarse. I tried making friends. But all my life no one seemed to care about me. In college I got severely depressed and almost ended my life and tbh, if I didn't have my loving family at home, I would have done it long ago. My family cares a lot about me, they're all I got. My little brother and older cousin are like my best friends. We did everything together growing up and still do. But now in college I don't see them much and I'm alone. I made one good friend my first years of college but now we're at different colleges and I don't get to see him anymore. I still text him but that's it. Now my anxiety has gotten much better, but I still struggle. And I finally gave up. In college now I'm completely alone. No friends. No social life. It's always been that way and I guess it always will be because I don't care anymore. I give up, I don't think it's possible for me to change. Also, I've never had a girlfriend before. I was very bullied for my appearance and it's made me extremely self conscious. I was catfished a few times in high school. The closest I got was talking to a girl in her room but it was obvious she didn't care about a relationship so it didn't go anywhere. I think I might have given up on that too. I'll just stay single all my life I guess. Single and no friends. That's just my fate and I can't change it.

    You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm the same age, enjoy the same things. Im not one to get together with someone and smoke or go drinking. I want to do yoga, go hiking, go to farmers markets, talk about books and old films. I moved to Maine right before covid hit and I've struggled to make deeper friendships. Back in September I felt so alone and isolated. I was struggling with anxiety and had nobody to reach out to. If I didn't contact people first, I'd go weeks without anyone even saying hi outside of work. Started feeling like if something happened to me nobody would even notice until my landlord came looking for rent. I started going to yoga classes any chance I get and I've found a sense of community there. At least now I feel seen and like I'm part of something bigger. I've been going skiing and hiking with some friends from yoga. But I still don't have anyone I'd invite to my house, call up on a whim to hang out, ask for help when I need it, tell my struggles to, and celebrate my private wins with. I hope I can build some deeper friendships from the acquaintances I've met so far but in the meantime it's really lonely.

Maybe it would be good for u to make a list of things that you like about yourself and why you are a person people want to hang out with. For me it was also helpful to lower my expectations of meeting new people. If it wasn’t the „perfect best friend“ as first sight, I wasn’t interested any more.
