This was my life 8 years ago. I missed everything. Nobody was there to tell me what to do. But not you, you will do better than me. Today, you can make a difference. Don't let your actual life slide in between your hands. Grab it and work hard for an incredible future. This is true happiness, this is purpose.
What purpose? Show to a bunch of dickheads you're worthy of being with them? Soyciety and community is already destroyed, you don't owe them nothing and them either. You could aim to rule over them tho
You are incredible mate. This donation means the world to me. Seeing your support is the greatest thing I could ever receive. You made my day. Thanks again
Inspiring but irl even after changing yourself and look good you're the one who has to approach people, nobody is inviting you to their friend group for no reason
dont agree here, if you change yourself, you automatically are becoming more communicable, from my experience. But its not only from the experience but overall changing yourself means that you are changing your habits, and sooner or later people will start approaching you. It looks like cliché, and it is to some extend, however the main idea that people will start approaching you after the change is true. Almost no one will ever try to speak with smelly creepy weirdo, however if you are outstanding at at least one field, you can become more approachable.
You could improve all you want and be pride of yourself, but it doesn't care how many things you do for yourself, if no one knows you, no one will notice you, and that's not bad, think it like this, if people search you, you will can end up having fake friends in a lot more way than you searching, that's why, in my opinion, it's better to choose with who are you gonna talk instead of waiting someone, you know yourself, you know what you want, you know what to choose.
I went to school with a guy kind of like this, I think I was his only friend. He was smart as hell, liked the same sports as me so we’d talk about the nba. He was super quiet, awkward, bad skin really thin. Met his mom one time she was hot as hell I was like wtf. After we graduated (in 98)I saw him around maybe 3 times. Always wondered what happened to him, never been able to find a profile or LinkedIn for him.
I like how u mention the mom lol but i hope u and ur friend doin well. You as his only friend, you should treasure him and maybe introduce him to ur other friends.
Maybe he’s a self made millionaire running 7 figure businesses. As a current high schooler there’s a lot of kids like this and the mom is hot as hell? Damn
Little does high school wojak know is that once he graduates, being popular doesn’t mean shit in the real world lol. But he does have his confidence now which is key 🔑
For a young person, starting real life with boosted confidence absolutely can make all the difference. You think the kid who sits in the corner all year gonna have the same chances after graduation?
I wish I watched this 10 years ago. I tried to do everything while in high school but my parents sabotaged basically every attempt at self improvement if it was non-academic. They wanted me to have no friends. When I moved out at 17, I could have tried again.
True importance. Yeah... Assured like giving money for an amputated man struggeling in life hard to have a wheelchair... Which is actually a way better idea than targeting an attention from chad.
I feel u guys.. same with me.. espacially when it came to study choices. Always decided for my place what I should study. Always scared to take advantages and live like a modern slave and affect me the same way with that fucked up mindset. Wish I knew better when I was 16..
This video actually saved my life, i was in a dark time of my life to the point where i was about to end it all but i remember my friend telling about this channel i watched a few videos and i came across this video. This video gave me the will to continue living. Thank man you saved my live in my dark years and this channel helped me through this.
This one hit different jeez man. I started acting like wojak in this one a year ago and knew I wasted a lot of time on the wrong things in the past. Now I'm actually going gym, setting goals and reading a lot to get better and it's so worth it. Take action my brothers.
@@Luka-lw5tl cap. I had a group. We were just 3, quite lonely dudes. Different hobbies, playing different games but united by the school. We parted ways after hs but we still talk and hang out. One of us went to the gym, improved his style of clothing and hit some fb groups, we are 20 now, he got plenty of friends and multiple gfs in a span of like 2 years. Its possible bro, you just gotta go for it
This ends wrong. Usually in Hollywood teenage movies Wojak goes back to his nerd friends, understanding his new "cool" friends are not the real cool guys to be with lmao
Ah yes the same movies where they cast 30 year olds to play and act as teenagers. Where every interaction is scripted and there's a main character Gary Stu Or Mary Sue whose development which usually takes years of work happens overnight. Because of those movies, I've struggled with my self esteem for years until my early twenties because I thought looking like a 30 year old hunk while being 16-17 was totally the norm. Are we also talking about those same movies that started validating weakness and fragility while preaching the message that a 'nerd' is cool? Not saying that it isn't cool though but Hollywood made it seem like being a nerd equals being ugly and that you should expect people to like you for your personality alone. In real life, that doesn't happen if you don't put any effort in your appearance. So in essence, if you want to make some noticeable change, you can start by ignoring Hollyweird and start living life.
Honestly if you don't want to be part of the popular crowd and you like it. I don't see why you would keep being friends with the nerds. I have always been a nerd and never liked the popular kids so I never tried to join them and my teenage years were pretty great. You are always confortable with the people that share your values.
Its actually pretty nice, did the same as well started working out, reads books, learn to be best version of myself. Now I am pretty proud of what I have become surrounded by friends, I have a girlfriend, now having real goals! Keep it up boys! Motivation is not key, consistency is! I wish the best of luck for everyone!
This was literally me at 17. My dad died a few weeks before my last year of school and I had no friends. I felt like such a loser… but it’s crazy to think of how much my life has gotten better since then though. Moral of the story, there’s always hope just don’t ever give up.
@@imgoodkinda just take a deep breath and be easy on yourself. As long as you have good grades and WORK HARD your future will be fine. As an adult thinking back on your teenage years, you will understand that it actually wasn‘t as bad as you thought.
@@imgoodkinda Trust me, it's gonna be alright, as long as you don't give up you will keep getting better. I am 17 years old and my confidence is completely different from last year. love people and be kind, It helps you to grow up💪Good luck!
Great video, as always. I can relate to this on so many levels.... until the end. When I entered HS, it was not in my local area, so I didn't know anyone. When I tried to make new friends, I was shunned b/c of many superficial reasons. Not the right haircut / drip / interests / ect.. But the day that made the most impact was when I realized that I was not 'one of them' I didn't want to emulate them, b/c that would mean Id betrayed my true self. I am happy to see that Wojack found a way to be accepted by his peers, but I am also glad that in the end, I didn't sell-out to become someone I wasn't, just to fit in with people that I honestly didn't find very interesting, and definitely not sincere; to themselves nor others. First you need to be happy with who you are, then you can decide who you want as friends. I just wish more people would have found this truth earlier in life. So many people are still living a lie, and thus, always feeling inadequate.
it's not a bad thing but some people suffer from that, because they 1) too intelligent to have stupid conversation 2) have social anxiety issues or more. So it's better to fix that for some out there
I overheard a girl say I'm too smart and quiet (I'm just introverted) to be her friend, and that she'll never be able to have any friends. I'm lonely too (without any friends at all now), but apparently she wasn't worth attempting to become friends with. Rip
@@cosmicflare_ Same. People tell me that I talk too much about history and politics, but why is that bad? Do they want to be stupid and not learn new things?
This was also me, i finished school at 17 and i didnt really have any friends, but at this point i even lost those i barely used to talk to. Ive always been an big introvert aswell, i dont party, i dont drink or smoke but i do have plenty of hobbies and activities (very good at football also played in a club aswell, i draw got a art scholarship aswell, addicted to old Lego sets n building Mocs, im a car guy, and the list goes on way further). Now i turned 20 a month ago and i still dont have any friends, ive met up with some guys 2-3 times in the past years. But now i think i have to accept it the way it is, i just want to live my life and focus on the things that make me happy.
@@keshvinagpal1523how you're so right. I used to regret now having friends, stating alone in school, used to hate myself, why am I so weird. But few years ago I got socialize & everytime I got distracted, cheated, hurt by someone. Being alone is peaceful ✌️ ❤
2:32 Bruh, 5'11" is not a bad height, it's on the relatively slightly taller side / above-average compared to everyone else. The only people who have the right to call you short are 6'3"+ people. Even then, it doesn't change the fact that you're definitely not short. It's all good
@@vivanity9750 Bro no country on this world considers 5'11" short. The Netherlands have the tallest male average height at 6 feet. If you're 5'11" in the Netherlands, you're literally just an inch below and in no way are you considered short To be considered short, you gotta be 3-4 inches below the average height of your location
that is whar angers me here i am with 5"5 and this guy is not happy with 5"11 it really pains me i always wished to be 5"11 . some people are really not thankful att all and then god takes it from them and then they cry.
This whole video was good vibes man. Made me tear up a little bit, ngl. I had some friends later in high school because of pursuing guitar and singing. That passion shined to everyone who saw it and it saved me from drowning in isolation and loneliness. For those of you that are struggling, find something productive to obsess with. It doesn't have to be hitting the weights, it can be music, art, dancing, boxing, skating etc. My obsession with music landed me in so many interesting situations even up into my 20s and I met some incredible people who I will probably be friends with until I die. I thank God I didn't completely waste my youth. Living the office life nowadays doesn't seem so bad knowing that I have truly lived and loved and lost. Anyways, take care my friends. If you see something you don't like about yourself, be honest with yourself and put in the work to make the change. Find your passion, for that is the treasure of your heart. It's all worth it, even if you lose it all... because at least you can say you gave it your best shot!!!
This reminds me of my last years of high school. I made a lot of changes, I started to dress differently, I started to work out and get a haircut and ultimately my social life changed, too. But I soon realized that the new so called friends were not really friends and really superficial. We never really had deep conversations and they didn't really know the real me at all. We just went to a lot of partys together. There was one guy in this friend group that was a real friend to me. When he didn't have time to go to a party, most of the time I didn't go either. Probably because deep down I didn't really feel comfortable with the other "friends". At some point the "real" friend stabbed my back which was a very terrible time for me. I continued to go out with the other guys from that friend group for a while but it was terrible. They started to take drugs and it became so bad that they couldn't go on a party without touching that shit. I was basically babysitting them so they wouldn't do any stupid shit while they were on. One day I just blocked their contacts all together because I didn't want to be part of it anymore. I wanted a new start. I ended up being lonely followed by many years of severe depression. I don't even know what I am trying to say here...lol... I hope you didn't expect a happy ending here.
honestly some people aren't just right ot mix with as they can be bad, I have friends since school and i didnt work out nore did I have a good haircut or anything really. But I knew I had to mix in otherwise I'd be a loner so I got some friends at least and after its just developed from there. I don't really have any friends I know thats fake but I'm always very open minded about it and see how people treat me. You said this because you felt like it and it will help people be open minded about people they are with. Your not alone I know some people in a sort of similar place. I found out it's not all about looking good and making a better impression on yourself instead it's about people who you talk to and can rely on and help you and be down to earth with and trust. You can still meet new people out there mate that you can trust its just about finding the right person/people which isnt easy but you can.
You made a mistake by blocking them. Almost all friends nowadays are superficial & fake. You gotta stay with them because you have no choice except to be with them. One day you might meet a smart person who might become your friend though!
@@Ho-mb2wb Bro, why would anyone genuinely want to be friends with you and your negativity? Nobody wants that energy dragging down the vibes. Pretty common sense.
I went through a glow up my senior year and the reactions were crazy, girls were actually interested in me for a second and then the lockdown hit. So close yet so far. Dating apps aren't working for me though, still getting rejected in real life too like nothing's changed. Even if I were to get as far as a first date, I have no game and I can't hold a conversation. I can only learn so much from just one date if I get that lucky.
World works by certain rules, just like everything around you. Yes, be yourself, but comply with what’s working. Your personality is what matters the most. Be taking care of yourself and being invested to be part of the tribe is also important
Sorry to tell you but that's and stupid way of thinking, people who wants you of "What you are" are the WORST kind of friends you could have, the real valuable people will stay with you even if you are fat, ugly or poor, you know what really people want? At least decent ones, someone you can trust, care and have fun with it, it's not hard
Being yourself is not a bad thing but if you want to change for the "better" you should work out for yourself I was once like you who thinks I don't need to be good enough as long as I am being me if you're asking me you should change your mind sets too I'll be better than everyone else I changed when school started again and I'm doing good
Find a hobby that makes YOU happy that doesn't involve females or consumption and start from there. Now what makes you happy you're going to have to look inside yourself to figure out what that is.
Based video. I was like that once. Got swole, met the woman of my dreams, became a doctor, and now I'm happily married and have enough money to do pretty well for myself. I'm not an attractive guy, but I've developed my own sort of charm over the years that seems to have worked for me, and I'm very happy and have more friends than I can really keep up with. Don't ever give up, always keep fighting, and live your best life
I sympathize with this video because of the way it shows that by changing your mindset, and starting endulge in habits that benefit your mental health, will in fact make your life "better", but perhaps having a different perspective on this subject will also be useful, it's true that wojak made the right decision in starting to lift weights and searching for help to remove his acne, although the fact that the "popular people" in his school who used to treat him disgracefully, started to have interest in him after his physical appearance looked better, tells me that something is off, if this situation actually occurred the way it did in real life, I don't even think that wojak would know how to talk to his "new friends", they would've gotten tired of him eventually because the lack of personality traits, and if he is disciplined and intelligent enough to go to the gym consistently and take care of himself in many other ways, he should completely sh*t on those people who treated him in such a disgusting way, he got influenced by his desires, and not by his knowledge, he should know better than what he did, in conclusion, you should be friends with somebody who talks to you because the way you behave, because of how funny they find you to be and because if the mutual respect that you have to each other, of course you should go to the gym, and take good care of yourself, but perhaps to attract more attractive sexual partners or even feeling good about yourself , not to make friends, overall I think this video is really shallow, you could've put some more tough into it
Wojak is like the main character of your average high school movie. But there are to many good endings, lately Bogdanoff must be scheming something. I was waiting on the phone buzz at the ending.
I was exactly the same! My last year of school (2014) was meant to be the best year of my life, but I had no friends. Every weekend it was someone's 18th and I never got invited to any (well, there was one but only getting invited to one party hardly counts). It was like I didn't even exist. Having to see everyone on social media having so much more fun than me really stuck the knife in too. On top of that, I actually got put in a very special needs class that year. There was only 7 of us and we were "the retards". 9 years later, and to be honest things haven't improved that much. I have a lot of acquittances but no close friends, no social circle and have still never had a girlfriend and I'm still a virgin. If you told 17-18 year old me that things wouldn't get better for at least 10 more years then I would have hardly felt like keeping on living.
Hey dude, I know I'm just another random profile picture in a sea of random comments on a site that feels so much more important than it is, but I just want to say I really hope you're doing ok Patrick. (If I can assume that's your actual name lol) Parties and friends most times change very easily and are quickly forgotten, even closest friends-really aren't all that much in the grand scheme of things, and, virginity itself is a concept, not a tangible thing. (As, I'm sure that's a really comforting thing to hear haha.. but really!) Things may be pretty mundane now, and, honestly maybe even it'll continue to be that way but, life itself is like a wonderful meal, and, death (desert obviously) should really only be experienced at the end, because hey, there's so much more for you to taste! If you ever need to talk let me know. Goodluck man, truly, and deeply. From the bottom of my heart I'm saying this, I have this strange deep feeling of anonymous affection for you for some god forsaken reason and really, *really* , I hope you're ok! Please, stay safe.
@@Mossyangel wow. Thank you so much for this! That’s honestly made my day. Yes Patrick is my real name. I am okay and safe, thank you. I hope that you’re okay and that you stay safe too
@@cookiewithsunglasses6786 thank you! I'm doing just okay. Still waiting on better things like a girlfriend, more friends and an improved social life etc. but yeah, just keeping on keeping on at the moment! Hope you're doing well too.
@@BestCountryEvr Oh nah... I used to spend the whole week just to find a friend back then to played and talked with (cured my loneliness as well)... But i'm starting to get better now (Changing my lifestyle and hit the gym) Found a few friend tho 😁👍! Sorry if my grammar is bad bcs english is my 3rd language... For me, lonely is fun at first but it started to get worse and worse which affect my mental health along with my social skill alot...
It's such an important thing to make friends, when you are at school. I have one best friend, studied with him from 5 to 9 form, at the beginning we didn't even speak to each other, but in the 8 form everything changed, and for this day and hope for future we will be bf. Also one important thing, my school life wasn't so good.. but now, in university, I try so hard to catch up those lost years, and all can I say, I'm really doing this, I enjoy this life, this university, this time, I'm very lucky with my classmates(not classmates, don't know how it's in english, sorry, I believe you understand), luck is 50% of "success", I mean it, and then try to do your best, don't be introvert(I am, but try to reveal my better side), go more often with guys, speak, don't always sit at home and everything will be fine, and I wish this 50% of luck to you:)🤝.
To anyone out there who still has a chance to build those relationships that last take the chance.. Once you become an adult (Especially in small towns) It starts to become very difficult to meet people and make friends, If you're like me and you don't drink and you live in a small town outside of maybe where you work or if you're lucky enough to find a group with similar interests to your own there's just not an easy way to make friends.. I immensely regret throwing away my highschool years in the way i did and if you still can then don't waste the opportunity
@@adan26829 I really wish i did man, Outside of trying to join things you are interested in i don't know though. Try and work on being more outgoing, go somewhere like the gym regularly and you might eventually meet some other people who go there regularly who are cool people, I'm really sorry i can't give you better advice then that.
Im afraid in th future of having no relationship or whatsoever i have to prepare for the worst, making friends arent that easy especially if your a introvert.
I can resonate with this. Thanks for these stories. And anyone in HS or any age, just know that there is always a hope and a way for each and everyone of you :)
I felt the same way as Wojak ever since beginning of 2022. Everybody around me is literally enjoying life and I know the same pain as Wojak felt in the video
As a person who has started improving himself after having a life like this, I can tell that it took me so long to improve my look and I'm still improving it. However, the physical change is the easy part of it, the most difficult thing is to learn social skills. You can change your look all you want, but it won't make any difference if your social skills are the same.
3:56 you don't need lasik, you could also pick out a nice pair of glasses that fit you really well. that's been the biggest difference for me was just to wear some more stylish glasses. It's got to a point where I think i actually look better with glasses
So me....I've been wearing glasses ever since I was 9 years old...I for one am not used to seeing my face without glasses....I'm so used to glasses that its the first thing I think about after I wake up🤣🤣🤣 I got tinted glasses...They make me look intimidating & a bit serious. Been wearin glasses since primary and tbh I've always been a cool guy at school...whereever I go, I always become that guy people wanna hang out with....be it males or females....I'm an extrovert....even at work people are already hangin out with me although I'm still new🤣 Its a bit hard for me to understand how introvert teenagers or kids feel about not being part of a certain group at school. I've always been a cool dude since I was atleast 6 years old...Very naughty kid🤣🤣🤣 who got good grades while being the naughtiest and popular kid at school. Now that I'm 27...I've settled down...I just have good fun suitable for young adults...but I enjoyed myself as a kid and a teen.....still enjoyin myself even now🤣🤣😊
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 Some people look good with glasses... Like for example...some people with glasses have: With glasses: 8/10 or 9/10 appearance Without glasses: 4/10 or 6/10 appearance 🤣🤣🤣and also Vice Versa....personally...I look 9/10 with glasses and 7/10 without them since I got small eyes
I hate the fact that everyone likes him just for changing his looks we have to،Social skills and self-confidence are the skills that make you more important and just remember guys that change is not always success but trying is success
I wasted my high school being a no one with no friends,still i have a big life waiting for me,i have a university,job,family,enlightment. All waiting for me to conquer that step,thanks for the video ZBS
it is not bad to be alone, I miss loneliness a lot, curiously I did not feel as bad as I felt after getting only 2 friends, I had never felt alone until I met these 2 people, in my experience, it is not bad to be alone what is bad is to be with people that make you feel that way, loneliness becomes fun if you know how to love it and take advantage of it, but without a doubt making friends with the right people can change your life for better (sorry if there is a grammatical error, I am still learning english)
The reality though is that often to hang with the popular crowd in high school you have to smoke, drink and/or do drugs and then your life is on a downward, not upward, spiral.
I really think this sends the wrong message though. Don't try and be like the popular kids, instead be yourself. Everyone finds enjoyment in different things. Going the gym works for some, but not not for all. Being yourself is something truly great, however most will only realize this later in life and in the meantime are desperate to just fit in. Do the things you enjoy, no matter how weird others might find them. Wear the clothes you like, even though nobody else is wearing anything like it. You will find friends who accept you for who you are soon enough.
Right, in my HS nobody understood or paid attention to the really good students, and their special classes or the people who really loved computers, it was always Football etc. but they are the ones up ended up working at Apple/Google and achieved more than most because they weren't afraid to be different and be a "nerd." or just like different things. Ultimately people have to be themselves and pursue their academic interests fully without worrying what their peers think.
Yeah. This also applies to people who just want to be left alone. I kept trying to make friends before realizing I damn sure don’t fucking need anyway. Just read a book rarely, do good in school, get a good job, do minimum exercise, and be clean. You don’t need friends, depending on the type of person you are. Most people, admittedly, do, but I believe it’s possible for some genetic change to drift humans away from a social creature, though I don’t think that would apply to me. Just be happy.
Something about him hanging out with those Chads and Staceys felt so fake. If you don't want me when I'm not shit, then don't ask me to hang out. I'd rather be me, the flawed, unwanted loser that likes what they like in life instead of changing to become more appealing to others. I get the message behind this, and your life can always get better with hard work, but I feel like this a little too fake and flowery for me. Reality isn't that simple.
Focus on yourself, get strong, get educated. Make connections and get ready to fight countless battles on the way to the top. The words i needed to hear in high school. Also stay away from porn!
I think this video might mislead people to think that they have to change themselves to fit in with the “cool kids.” If you’re a introvert, you don’t have to force yourself to become a full on extrovert, it’s okay if you have a small amount of friends or aren’t in some big friend groups. But also, this video’s right about how you won’t know what you’re capable of until you try to change, just make sure you change for yourself, and not to impress other people
Depends on what kind of friends, friends who will bring you down and mislead you are not worth it trust me, being alone is sometimes a blessing in disguise. You don't have to be in the company of someone every now and then, put much of your focus in to your future goals and dreams. Having a handful of genuine and high quality friends is much beneficial to you than having loser friends with no dreams or aspirations in life. They will bring you down with them and envy your success. Choose wisely !
I'm 18 yo going 19 and I'm an introvert, but I don't have any friends, I spending my time in my room, watching TikTok RUclips and Facebook etc specially in my school.
After graduation day of middle school, our class went to a bowling center in the evening.The problem was that nobody wanted to ride home with me, so I had to call my dad at midnight to get home. In the car he told me that he was proud of me, because I graduated with good grades. I appreciated that, but to this day I wonder if he realized the full life situation of his son, who had to call him out of bed since he left school with zero friendships that day. Our parents and others often know very little about us, so we need to communicate our problems.
I'm 19 years old, But still alone and silent, Sometimes I see my friend talking to his girlfriend, I am silent and separate from the room, sometimes I see my friend when talking his new friend, I just listen, and that's why I'm considered quiet....😢
Same bro but there is only one person can change this that is ourselves and at the end it will all be worthy so get up and work for ourselves, let's count on self improvement and it will be worthy. Believe me and i trusting that you can do it . I am starting my work today onwards and i believe you that you will achieve that
Honestly their was never a problem with him in the first place the problem with society is nobody can ever see what’s on the inside everyone gotta judge
I feel like I went on this journey for myself in highschool, I lost a lot early on in highschool family wise and had a big move so I wasn’t exactly in the best shape weighing in at around 300 pounds and having severe depression in the 9th grade. It took the pandemic and me putting myself out there online and just being myself with everyone for me to start developing these meaningful relationships. After a while I started reflecting this change in my real life, and the intuition I had developed from a long time of social isolation from childhood to around 10th grade. When we got back in school after the lockdowns I really made action on this new mindset, and made a lot of good friends; while learning a lot about myself. My school was one of the most diverse in my city but overall the school was in bad shape due to issues plaguing the area , so we were a pretty gritty school and that shit just made me stronger, I had to be myself there. It worked out really well for me and I’d recommend it, because I’m young right now I’m still young and by using these skills I got from the online conversations I’m closer to my dreams then ever I got my weight under control for the first time in my life I’ve made lifelong friends I’ve proved to myself I can stand my ground yo. It’s really just a matter of taking that first step, whatever that is for you because once you take that first step your not gonna be able to stop walking. You’ll become a better you, at peace with yourself and the world around you. You’ll be able to appreciate people a lot more, and through every connection you make you’ll be moving forward, if it goes badly that’s just a learning experience.
It hits you especially if you have experienced it yourself or are still like that. I recognize myself in him. I just might have to get out of my comfort zone more often.
It's still sad that the same people who ones hated you just because of your social status wants to be friends with you as soon as you are attractive and wear good clothes . Can you really call these people friends though? The moment you stop looking cool , they will leave you . Working on yourself isn't bad but what's sad is that no one cares about the so called nerd for the person he is . Like I love spending time with nerds , even though they can be socially awkward and sometimes unattractive, they have a lot going on inside their brain and you can learn a lot from them . They are pretty smart . But people nowadays only seem to care about your outward appearance only .
He does not listen to his father but some stranger, really? This is sad. It is not bad to be introvert. Nerds have friends too. We had so much different characters in school that was awesome. Now everybody tries to be and look the same.
I can relate to being lonely and dealing with hell in high school. As a 17 year old now, I have more friends outside of school than in school, and I have more money than most of those kids can ever dream to see. It's really important to realize that high school is temporary. And thank god, because I have went through so much pain. However, after high school I will be able to go in the real world as I have already dealt with hardships. And also those kids who are getting everything in high school will have a rude awakening.
I’m so glad for this video. I did this essentially in high school last year, I made a few quick jokes with some kids in a shop class, and started talking with them in history, and it kind of stemmed from there.
*Time is precious.* I wasted 16-31 on heroin and now I am clean and trying to play catch up. It sucks being so far behind you peers in all the life stuff like career and family. Please do not waste your time guys, get out there and improve yourself. And for god's sake do not take drugs, using them ruined my life and I might not be able to fix it no matter how hard I work now.
I hope you’re still with us today! Despite your challenges with drug use, you’re still given the opportunity to wake up everyday with a chance to chase a better tomorrow. Think of how much of an inspiration you would be if you got through this? Think about what a story it would be, that you were 31 years old and finally defeated your demons with heroin and made a revolutionary path to change his life. You’re more blessed than you realize and I really hope you didn’t self delete.
I’m 18 and I have no friends. I do have friends but they graduated to different schools and I’m alone right now for a few years. I don’t mind being lonely. It’s relaxing.
I soon am 20 and I am a multi-talented individual with no friends and just a watching shadow from afar. Unfortunately group work and interactions are not my thing, because it turned out nothing will last forever and it is pointless to work for something that will be over.
Yo boys work hard! When you have a family and kids your time shrinks to almost nothing. Build something now. Do it for yourself and your future family. Become the ultimate chad every day!
really nice Motivation my friend and kinda inspiring but gen Z is doomed. I was Born '97 and had everything you guys dream about expect for an career. never had problems with girls but problems chasing money bc it doesnt fullfill me tbh. I can say that with confidence as a 25 y old. maybe i am a simple man but i just want the love of my life by my side and enough money to travel further (+ basic needs & appartement ofc. ) I've traveled a lot but that was nothing, theres so much more to see.. the feeling of checking into a nice hotel with your girlfriend all alone and throwing yourself on the bed first time and closing youre eyes is the best thing in the world for me. the feeling of independence, not being dependent on others and being sad because my friends left me on read on the weekend. its just us 2. i just don't have any "real" friends. imo theres no such thing as friendship as adult, only love. but thats just my take on that, other people say theres no real love but friendship haha (cope) What I actually wanted to say is that, according to studies, Gen Z has no sex, problems with socializing ezc etc etc. and you don't learn to socialize overnight. I was also lucky with the times before tik tok and musically existed. meeting people for a beer & joint, doing stupid things not for clout but fun. Oh and i believe here in europe we are not that doomed as American Gen z lol
Here is my situation: I was a loser in school but I had a couple friends. I got big muscles and became handsome right as the pandemic put me out of school. I have been isolated for very long and I don't feel like my muscles ect can help me when I am this socially damaged. I am back in school but far worse off than before.
I wasn't a antisocial nerd and I had plenty of friends but I kind of went through this my last 2 years of highschool I just had gym class everyday and started to dress better and get haircuts after wearing a hoodie and just letting my hair do whatever since 4th grade and one day I was sleeping in class like usual and the girls around me were staring at me and the cool kid wanted to hang out but I said no cause I wanted to play video games and riding the public bus home girls were staring at me and the bus driver was super nice to me it was so sureal this video reminded me of it
I liked everything about this video but one thing that made me feel bad was , they only talked and invited him in their group when he became attractive and changed ,they might leave him again if he doesn't work on his looks
This video can show the life of a highschool student when you let others judge you, Its not them really judging you its you judging yourself people can just not know you, You got to try even if they make fun have confidence that's there worst enemy
Hanging out with chads isn't all that. Sure you get to feel cool but you know that they only hang out with you for the way you talk, the way you dress etc. You can't really be yourself or you'll get chastised. Finding a tribe where you get to be you is the best thing ever.
this sounds corny asf "Finding a tribe where you get to be you is the best thing ever." the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows my dude 😂😂 groups like those are extremely rare
Heheh it's indeed true that sometimes you do need to go through some steps to fit in certain groups, the image of wojak in cars with chads all dressed the same is kinda spot on. But one thing is not true: you don't need to change. If you're a nerd introvert like Wojak you can always hang out with other nerd introverts and share how is it. Whatever you are in the world there's many millions that can relate. It's important to not feel like you're wrong or don't fit. It's a dangerous thinking. Most people have hard times opening up, they feel stupid when sharing, don't be. I'm 36 and I don't have that many friends, like all adults, but all those i have I don't need to compromise or fit, they like me the way I am and so I like them for what they are.
I appreciate the conversation with his dad at the start. When I was little, my dad would push me like that, and I thought that he was always stressing me out. But now, i see where he was coming from. Its okay to be introverted! But you don't have to be alone. They're are other people like you who feel the same way. I'm speaking from experience. I decided to join a video game club in high school. I was one of the only girls there, and I barely knew anyone. I was really shy and uncomfortable at first, but at some point I didn't want to play video games alone anymore at the club. I decided to approach people who played the same games as me, and I got to meet a lot of awesome people! Even people who were also shy like me. By graduation, I had a small friend group and we were pretty much icons in that club. We got to give a speech to the underclassmen. It was really nice. Even while in college, we still talk every now and then. Once I got to college, I took what I learned from high school and started joining clubs. I joined a Christian Fellowship club, and got to meet some amazing people. It was nice being able to talk about my faith with people my age! I also joined a women's engineering club, it was awesome getting to learn from the upperclassmen about engineering, and the experiences of being a woman in the field. Even now, it feels like a sisterhood. I also appreciate this video's message. If you want to be better, BE BETTER. Take care of yourself, and live the life you were blessed with! I also started going to the gym and started eating healthier. I’ve also been taking care of myself mentally. I know I'm writing a lot, but I really appreciate this video. Thank you for making it bro.
This was my life 8 years ago. I missed everything. Nobody was there to tell me what to do. But not you, you will do better than me. Today, you can make a difference. Don't let your actual life slide in between your hands. Grab it and work hard for an incredible future. This is true happiness, this is purpose.

Inspiring but irl even after changing yourself and look good you're the one who has to approach people, nobody is inviting you to their friend group for no reason
Exactly bro
Yeah, it was a discovery for me a few months before 😅
dont agree here, if you change yourself, you automatically are becoming more communicable, from my experience. But its not only from the experience but overall changing yourself means that you are changing your habits, and sooner or later people will start approaching you. It looks like cliché, and it is to some extend, however the main idea that people will start approaching you after the change is true. Almost no one will ever try to speak with smelly creepy weirdo, however if you are outstanding at at least one field, you can become more approachable.
So you're not people's first pick thrn
You could improve all you want and be pride of yourself, but it doesn't care how many things you do for yourself, if no one knows you, no one will notice you, and that's not bad, think it like this, if people search you, you will can end up having fake friends in a lot more way than you searching, that's why, in my opinion, it's better to choose with who are you gonna talk instead of waiting someone, you know yourself, you know what you want, you know what to choose.
I went to school with a guy kind of like this, I think I was his only friend. He was smart as hell, liked the same sports as me so we’d talk about the nba. He was super quiet, awkward, bad skin really thin. Met his mom one time she was hot as hell I was like wtf. After we graduated (in 98)I saw him around maybe 3 times. Always wondered what happened to him, never been able to find a profile or LinkedIn for him.
Mom is the best
I like how u mention the mom lol but i hope u and ur friend doin well.
You as his only friend, you should treasure him and maybe introduce him to ur other friends.
Maybe he’s a self made millionaire running 7 figure businesses. As a current high schooler there’s a lot of kids like this and the mom is hot as hell? Damn
@@haretztj4682 he can't even contact him and also his life might be different now
@perseus274 his mom isn't hot though
Little does high school wojak know is that once he graduates, being popular doesn’t mean shit in the real world lol. But he does have his confidence now which is key 🔑
Confidence 🤣🤣🤣
For a young person, starting real life with boosted confidence absolutely can make all the difference. You think the kid who sits in the corner all year gonna have the same chances after graduation?
I disagree strongly, social connections and enjoyment is easily among the most important thing in life.
@@TheSwedishHistorian college connections are more important so you still have a good chance lol

I wish I watched this 10 years ago. I tried to do everything while in high school but my parents sabotaged basically every attempt at self improvement if it was non-academic. They wanted me to have no friends.
When I moved out at 17, I could have tried again.
True importance. Yeah... Assured like giving money for an amputated man struggeling in life hard to have a wheelchair... Which is actually a way better idea than targeting an attention from chad.
I feel u guys.. same with me.. espacially when it came to study choices. Always decided for my place what I should study. Always scared to take advantages and live like a modern slave and affect me the same way with that fucked up mindset. Wish I knew better when I was 16..

This one hit different jeez man. I started acting like wojak in this one a year ago and knew I wasted a lot of time on the wrong things in the past. Now I'm actually going gym, setting goals and reading a lot to get better and it's so worth it. Take action my brothers.
well done brother! keep going💪💪💪

Gym wont give you friends. If youre friendless at 17 its pretty much over you wasted almost all your teen years.
@@Luka-lw5tl cap. I had a group. We were just 3, quite lonely dudes. Different hobbies, playing different games but united by the school. We parted ways after hs but we still talk and hang out. One of us went to the gym, improved his style of clothing and hit some fb groups, we are 20 now, he got plenty of friends and multiple gfs in a span of like 2 years.
Its possible bro, you just gotta go for it
@@aty4282 You will never get your teen years back. Those could be best years of your life.
This ends wrong. Usually in Hollywood teenage movies Wojak goes back to his nerd friends, understanding his new "cool" friends are not the real cool guys to be with lmao
Teenage movies are really unrealistic
I was thinking the same thing.
Ah yes the same movies where they cast 30 year olds to play and act as teenagers. Where every interaction is scripted and there's a main character Gary Stu Or Mary Sue whose development which usually takes years of work happens overnight. Because of those movies, I've struggled with my self esteem for years until my early twenties because I thought looking like a 30 year old hunk while being 16-17 was totally the norm. Are we also talking about those same movies that started validating weakness and fragility while preaching the message that a 'nerd' is cool?
Not saying that it isn't cool though but Hollywood made it seem like being a nerd equals being ugly and that you should expect people to like you for your personality alone. In real life, that doesn't happen if you don't put any effort in your appearance. So in essence, if you want to make some noticeable change, you can start by ignoring Hollyweird and start living life.
Honestly if you don't want to be part of the popular crowd and you like it. I don't see why you would keep being friends with the nerds. I have always been a nerd and never liked the popular kids so I never tried to join them and my teenage years were pretty great. You are always confortable with the people that share your values.

This was literally me at 17. My dad died a few weeks before my last year of school and I had no friends. I felt like such a loser… but it’s crazy to think of how much my life has gotten better since then though. Moral of the story, there’s always hope just don’t ever give up.

Great video, as always.
I can relate to this on so many levels.... until the end.
When I entered HS, it was not in my local area, so I didn't know anyone.
When I tried to make new friends, I was shunned b/c of many superficial reasons.
Not the right haircut / drip / interests / ect..
But the day that made the most impact was when I realized that I was not 'one of them'
I didn't want to emulate them, b/c that would mean Id betrayed my true self.
I am happy to see that Wojack found a way to be accepted by his peers,
but I am also glad that in the end, I didn't sell-out to become someone I wasn't, just to fit in with people that I honestly didn't find very interesting, and definitely not sincere; to themselves nor others.
First you need to be happy with who you are, then you can decide who you want as friends.
I just wish more people would have found this truth earlier in life.
So many people are still living a lie, and thus, always feeling inadequate.

I don't know why people think being a introvert is a bad thing, its just there personality and thats it
it's not a bad thing but some people suffer from that, because they 1) too intelligent to have stupid conversation 2) have social anxiety issues or more. So it's better to fix that for some out there
I overheard a girl say I'm too smart and quiet (I'm just introverted) to be her friend, and that she'll never be able to have any friends. I'm lonely too (without any friends at all now), but apparently she wasn't worth attempting to become friends with. Rip
@GoTi4No I agree. A lot of people also use 'introversion' as a label for what actually seems to be mental health issues or misanthropy :/
@@cosmicflare_ Same. People tell me that I talk too much about history and politics, but why is that bad? Do they want to be stupid and not learn new things?

This was also me, i finished school at 17 and i didnt really have any friends, but at this point i even lost those i barely used to talk to.

Now i turned 20 a month ago and i still dont have any friends, ive met up with some guys 2-3 times in the past years.

This whole video was good vibes man. Made me tear up a little bit, ngl.
I had some friends later in high school because of pursuing guitar and singing. That passion shined to everyone who saw it and it saved me from drowning in isolation and loneliness. For those of you that are struggling, find something productive to obsess with. It doesn't have to be hitting the weights, it can be music, art, dancing, boxing, skating etc. My obsession with music landed me in so many interesting situations even up into my 20s and I met some incredible people who I will probably be friends with until I die. I thank God I didn't completely waste my youth. Living the office life nowadays doesn't seem so bad knowing that I have truly lived and loved and lost.
Anyways, take care my friends. If you see something you don't like about yourself, be honest with yourself and put in the work to make the change. Find your passion, for that is the treasure of your heart. It's all worth it, even if you lose it all... because at least you can say you gave it your best shot!!!

yep i think its bad. i came here to laugh. not to learn "life lessons"
This reminds me of my last years of high school. I made a lot of changes, I started to dress differently, I started to work out and get a haircut and ultimately my social life changed, too. But I soon realized that the new so called friends were not really friends and really superficial. We never really had deep conversations and they didn't really know the real me at all. We just went to a lot of partys together. There was one guy in this friend group that was a real friend to me. When he didn't have time to go to a party, most of the time I didn't go either. Probably because deep down I didn't really feel comfortable with the other "friends". At some point the "real" friend stabbed my back which was a very terrible time for me. I continued to go out with the other guys from that friend group for a while but it was terrible. They started to take drugs and it became so bad that they couldn't go on a party without touching that shit. I was basically babysitting them so they wouldn't do any stupid shit while they were on. One day I just blocked their contacts all together because I didn't want to be part of it anymore. I wanted a new start. I ended up being lonely followed by many years of severe depression.
I don't even know what I am trying to say here...lol... I hope you didn't expect a happy ending here.
honestly some people aren't just right ot mix with as they can be bad, I have friends since school and i didnt work out nore did I have a good haircut or anything really. But I knew I had to mix in otherwise I'd be a loner so I got some friends at least and after its just developed from there. I don't really have any friends I know thats fake but I'm always very open minded about it and see how people treat me. You said this because you felt like it and it will help people be open minded about people they are with. Your not alone I know some people in a sort of similar place. I found out it's not all about looking good and making a better impression on yourself instead it's about people who you talk to and can rely on and help you and be down to earth with and trust. You can still meet new people out there mate that you can trust its just about finding the right person/people which isnt easy but you can.
You made a mistake by blocking them. Almost all friends nowadays are superficial & fake. You gotta stay with them because you have no choice except to be with them. One day you might meet a smart person who might become your friend though!

Dating apps aren't working for me though, still getting rejected in real life too like nothing's changed. Even if I were to get as far as a first date, I have no game and I can't hold a conversation. I can only learn so much from just one date if I get that lucky.
It’s kinda sad that you have to change yourself and turn into just like everyone else just to get accepted. I’d rather stay by myself
World works by certain rules, just like everything around you. Yes, be yourself, but comply with what’s working. Your personality is what matters the most. Be taking care of yourself and being invested to be part of the tribe is also important
Sorry to tell you but that's and stupid way of thinking, people who wants you of "What you are" are the WORST kind of friends you could have, the real valuable people will stay with you even if you are fat, ugly or poor, you know what really people want? At least decent ones, someone you can trust, care and have fun with it, it's not hard
Being yourself is not a bad thing but if you want to change for the "better" you should work out for yourself I was once like you who thinks I don't need to be good enough as long as I am being me if you're asking me you should change your mind sets too I'll be better than everyone else I changed when school started again and I'm doing good

Don't ever give up, always keep fighting, and live your best life
I sympathize with this video because of the way it shows that by changing your mindset, and starting endulge in habits that benefit your mental health, will in fact make your life "better", but perhaps having a different perspective on this subject will also be useful, it's true that wojak made the right decision in starting to lift weights and searching for help to remove his acne, although the fact that the "popular people" in his school who used to treat him disgracefully, started to have interest in him after his physical appearance looked better, tells me that something is off, if this situation actually occurred the way it did in real life, I don't even think that wojak would know how to talk to his "new friends", they would've gotten tired of him eventually because the lack of personality traits, and if he is disciplined and intelligent enough to go to the gym consistently and take care of himself in many other ways, he should completely sh*t on those people who treated him in such a disgusting way, he got influenced by his desires, and not by his knowledge, he should know better than what he did, in conclusion, you should be friends with somebody who talks to you because the way you behave, because of how funny they find you to be and because if the mutual respect that you have to each other, of course you should go to the gym, and take good care of yourself, but perhaps to attract more attractive sexual partners or even feeling good about yourself , not to make friends, overall I think this video is really shallow, you could've put some more tough into it
This point of view is so deep
Wojak is like the main character of your average high school movie. But there are to many good endings, lately Bogdanoff must be scheming something. I was waiting on the phone buzz at the ending.
I was exactly the same! My last year of school (2014) was meant to be the best year of my life, but I had no friends. Every weekend it was someone's 18th and I never got invited to any (well, there was one but only getting invited to one party hardly counts). It was like I didn't even exist. Having to see everyone on social media having so much more fun than me really stuck the knife in too.
On top of that, I actually got put in a very special needs class that year. There was only 7 of us and we were "the retards".
9 years later, and to be honest things haven't improved that much. I have a lot of acquittances but no close friends, no social circle and have still never had a girlfriend and I'm still a virgin.
If you told 17-18 year old me that things wouldn't get better for at least 10 more years then I would have hardly felt like keeping on living.
Hey dude, I know I'm just another random profile picture in a sea of random comments on a site that feels so much more important than it is, but I just want to say I really hope you're doing ok Patrick. (If I can assume that's your actual name lol) Parties and friends most times change very easily and are quickly forgotten, even closest friends-really aren't all that much in the grand scheme of things, and, virginity itself is a concept, not a tangible thing. (As, I'm sure that's a really comforting thing to hear haha.. but really!)
Things may be pretty mundane now, and, honestly maybe even it'll continue to be that way but, life itself is like a wonderful meal, and, death (desert obviously) should really only be experienced at the end, because hey, there's so much more for you to taste! If you ever need to talk let me know.

Ignore the account above me. It’s a spam account.
@@BestCountryEvr Oh nah... I used to spend the whole week just to find a friend back then to played and talked with (cured my loneliness as well)... But i'm starting to get better now (Changing my lifestyle and hit the gym) Found a few friend tho 😁👍! Sorry if my grammar is bad bcs english is my 3rd language... For me, lonely is fun at first but it started to get worse and worse which affect my mental health along with my social skill alot...
@@BestCountryEvr May GOD BLESS YOU and your family ♥️
Same. Hope things will get better.
It's such an important thing to make friends, when you are at school. I have one best friend, studied with him from 5 to 9 form, at the beginning we didn't even speak to each other, but in the 8 form everything changed, and for this day and hope for future we will be bf. Also one important thing, my school life wasn't so good.. but now, in university, I try so hard to catch up those lost years, and all can I say, I'm really doing this, I enjoy this life, this university, this time, I'm very lucky with my classmates(not classmates, don't know how it's in english, sorry, I believe you understand), luck is 50% of "success", I mean it, and then try to do your best, don't be introvert(I am, but try to reveal my better side), go more often with guys, speak, don't always sit at home and everything will be fine, and I wish this 50% of luck to you:)🤝.
To anyone out there who still has a chance to build those relationships that last take the chance.. Once you become an adult (Especially in small towns) It starts to become very difficult to meet people and make friends, If you're like me and you don't drink and you live in a small town outside of maybe where you work or if you're lucky enough to find a group with similar interests to your own there's just not an easy way to make friends.. I immensely regret throwing away my highschool years in the way i did and if you still can then don't waste the opportunity
if they dont become friends feed their friends to them💯💯
@@officer_friendly_ I'll give it a try, thanks!
@@adan26829 I really wish i did man, Outside of trying to join things you are interested in i don't know though. Try and work on being more outgoing, go somewhere like the gym regularly and you might eventually meet some other people who go there regularly who are cool people, I'm really sorry i can't give you better advice then that.
I feel as if I started too late but the pandemic did hit when I was starting high school
Im afraid in th future of having no relationship or whatsoever i have to prepare for the worst, making friends arent that easy especially if your a introvert.
I can resonate with this. Thanks for these stories. And anyone in HS or any age, just know that there is always a hope and a way for each and everyone of you :)
Did the same back then. Still have no friends. Took me years to realize I hate people since the beginning.
I felt the same way as Wojak ever since beginning of 2022. Everybody around me is literally enjoying life and I know the same pain as Wojak felt in the video
As a person who has started improving himself after having a life like this, I can tell that it took me so long to improve my look and I'm still improving it. However, the physical change is the easy part of it, the most difficult thing is to learn social skills. You can change your look all you want, but it won't make any difference if your social skills are the same.
I'm Seventeen and I only have one friend, a true friend.
E você é BR
damn man i had 3 best friends real ones now they're staying at home all day
That's all you need in life 👍
I needed this video 10/12 Years ago, oh well you cannot change the past, but you can start today to make a better tomorrow
3:56 you don't need lasik, you could also pick out a nice pair of glasses that fit you really well. that's been the biggest difference for me was just to wear some more stylish glasses. It's got to a point where I think i actually look better with glasses
Lasik is cool ask tho I just found out it only takes a few minutes
So me....I've been wearing glasses ever since I was 9 years old...I for one am not used to seeing my face without glasses....I'm so used to glasses that its the first thing I think about after I wake up🤣🤣🤣
I got tinted glasses...They make me look intimidating & a bit serious.
Been wearin glasses since primary and tbh I've always been a cool guy at school...whereever I go, I always become that guy people wanna hang out with....be it males or females....I'm an extrovert....even at work people are already hangin out with me although I'm still new🤣
Its a bit hard for me to understand how introvert teenagers or kids feel about not being part of a certain group at school.
I've always been a cool dude since I was atleast 6 years old...Very naughty kid🤣🤣🤣 who got good grades while being the naughtiest and popular kid at school.
Now that I'm 27...I've settled down...I just have good fun suitable for young adults...but I enjoyed myself as a kid and a teen.....still enjoyin myself even now🤣🤣😊
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 Some people look good with glasses...
Like for example...some people with glasses have:
With glasses: 8/10 or 9/10 appearance
Without glasses: 4/10 or 6/10 appearance
🤣🤣🤣and also Vice Versa....personally...I look 9/10 with glasses and 7/10 without them since I got small eyes
Contacts are also a thing, best of both worlds
its costly. Most recommende to do it once over 21 years old i think
One year ago i was that introvert. Man hamza social skill guide and other videos really helped me alot.
U should check out how to beast He makes good videos and he gives solid advice
You can't change from introvert to extrovert.
It's nothing you can change, what you maybe changed are social anxiaty
Your stories are so impactful, that sometimes make me cry. Keep doing this incredible work!
I hate the fact that everyone likes him just for changing his looks we have to،Social skills and self-confidence are the skills that make you more important and just remember guys that change is not always success but trying is success
I wasted my high school being a no one with no friends,still i have a big life waiting for me,i have a university,job,family,enlightment. All waiting for me to conquer that step,thanks for the video ZBS
Same😰😰wanna my friend in social media?
Same and I graduated hs last year 2022
it is not bad to be alone, I miss loneliness a lot, curiously I did not feel as bad as I felt after getting only 2 friends, I had never felt alone until I met these 2 people, in my experience, it is not bad to be alone what is bad is to be with people that make you feel that way, loneliness becomes fun if you know how to love it and take advantage of it, but without a doubt making friends with the right people can change your life for better (sorry if there is a grammatical error, I am still learning english)
The reality though is that often to hang with the popular crowd in high school you have to smoke, drink and/or do drugs and then your life is on a downward, not upward, spiral.
I really think this sends the wrong message though. Don't try and be like the popular kids, instead be yourself. Everyone finds enjoyment in different things. Going the gym works for some, but not not for all. Being yourself is something truly great, however most will only realize this later in life and in the meantime are desperate to just fit in. Do the things you enjoy, no matter how weird others might find them. Wear the clothes you like, even though nobody else is wearing anything like it. You will find friends who accept you for who you are soon enough.
Right, in my HS nobody understood or paid attention to the really good students, and their special classes or the people who really loved computers, it was always Football etc. but they are the ones up ended up working at Apple/Google and achieved more than most because they weren't afraid to be different and be a "nerd." or just like different things. Ultimately people have to be themselves and pursue their academic interests fully without worrying what their peers think.
Yeah. This also applies to people who just want to be left alone. I kept trying to make friends before realizing I damn sure don’t fucking need anyway. Just read a book rarely, do good in school, get a good job, do minimum exercise, and be clean. You don’t need friends, depending on the type of person you are. Most people, admittedly, do, but I believe it’s possible for some genetic change to drift humans away from a social creature, though I don’t think that would apply to me. Just be happy.
You don't go to the gym becouse "you enjoys it" you go becouse you need to
@@charcoal5104 No you don't. There are plenty of ways to stay healthy besides hitting the gym.
I should be a loser then?
Something about him hanging out with those Chads and Staceys felt so fake. If you don't want me when I'm not shit, then don't ask me to hang out. I'd rather be me, the flawed, unwanted loser that likes what they like in life instead of changing to become more appealing to others. I get the message behind this, and your life can always get better with hard work, but I feel like this a little too fake and flowery for me. Reality isn't that simple.
Focus on yourself, get strong, get educated. Make connections and get ready to fight countless battles on the way to the top. The words i needed to hear in high school. Also stay away from porn!
I think this video might mislead people to think that they have to change themselves to fit in with the “cool kids.” If you’re a introvert, you don’t have to force yourself to become a full on extrovert, it’s okay if you have a small amount of friends or aren’t in some big friend groups.
But also, this video’s right about how you won’t know what you’re capable of until you try to change, just make sure you change for yourself, and not to impress other people
Yeah n i don't think hitting gym alone will do
step one be tall step two good looking
Depends on what kind of friends, friends who will bring you down and mislead you are not worth it trust me, being alone is sometimes a blessing in disguise. You don't have to be in the company of someone every now and then, put much of your focus in to your future goals and dreams. Having a handful of genuine and high quality friends is much beneficial to you than having loser friends with no dreams or aspirations in life. They will bring you down with them and envy your success. Choose wisely !
This is exactly me guys, I'm trying to improve, pray for me 🙏
I'm 18 yo going 19 and I'm an introvert, but I don't have any friends, I spending my time in my room, watching TikTok RUclips and Facebook etc specially in my school.
It's always the quiet nerdy people that always improve
친구같은건 없어도 괜찮다고 생각해요 다만 학교에서 아무이유없이 따돌림 당하지 않았으면 좋겠어요
Very happy for Wojak what an inspiring video
This is certified "Never gonna give you up" classic
What a great message. You’re doing great work, keep it up man.
After graduation day of middle school, our class went to a bowling center in the evening.The problem was that nobody wanted to ride home with me, so I had to call my dad at midnight to get home. In the car he told me that he was proud of me, because I graduated with good grades. I appreciated that, but to this day I wonder if he realized the full life situation of his son, who had to call him out of bed since he left school with zero friendships that day. Our parents and others often know very little about us, so we need to communicate our problems.
I'm 19 years old, But still alone and silent, Sometimes I see my friend talking to his girlfriend, I am silent and separate from the room, sometimes I see my friend when talking his new friend, I just listen, and that's why I'm considered quiet....😢
Same bro but there is only one person can change this that is ourselves and at the end it will all be worthy so get up and work for ourselves, let's count on self improvement and it will be worthy. Believe me and i trusting that you can do it . I am starting my work today onwards and i believe you that you will achieve that
Im 15 and pretty much the same but i dont bother me to be quiet or to listen to others
You’re the definition of motivation and inspiration. not to mention art! Please tell me you will continue one day.

Honestly their was never a problem with him in the first place the problem with society is nobody can ever see what’s on the inside everyone gotta judge
07:27 - jumps off the Cliffs of Moher in Western Ireland.
I feel like I went on this journey for myself in highschool, I lost a lot early on in highschool family wise and had a big move so I wasn’t exactly in the best shape weighing in at around 300 pounds and having severe depression in the 9th grade. It took the pandemic and me putting myself out there online and just being myself with everyone for me to start developing these meaningful relationships. After a while I started reflecting this change in my real life, and the intuition I had developed from a long time of social isolation from childhood to around 10th grade. When we got back in school after the lockdowns I really made action on this new mindset, and made a lot of good friends; while learning a lot about myself. My school was one of the most diverse in my city but overall the school was in bad shape due to issues plaguing the area , so we were a pretty gritty school and that shit just made me stronger, I had to be myself there. It worked out really well for me and I’d recommend it, because I’m young right now I’m still young and by using these skills I got from the online conversations I’m closer to my dreams then ever I got my weight under control for the first time in my life I’ve made lifelong friends I’ve proved to myself I can stand my ground yo. It’s really just a matter of taking that first step, whatever that is for you because once you take that first step your not gonna be able to stop walking. You’ll become a better you, at peace with yourself and the world around you. You’ll be able to appreciate people a lot more, and through every connection you make you’ll be moving forward, if it goes badly that’s just a learning experience.
It hits you especially if you have experienced it yourself or are still like that. I recognize myself in him. I just might have to get out of my comfort zone more often.
It's still sad that the same people who ones hated you just because of your social status wants to be friends with you as soon as you are attractive and wear good clothes . Can you really call these people friends though? The moment you stop looking cool , they will leave you . Working on yourself isn't bad but what's sad is that no one cares about the so called nerd for the person he is . Like I love spending time with nerds , even though they can be socially awkward and sometimes unattractive, they have a lot going on inside their brain and you can learn a lot from them . They are pretty smart . But people nowadays only seem to care about your outward appearance only .
Thus is why i turned from a really generous person into a really selfish person that wouldn't even hesitate to help someone on any situation
"What, he had a successful and popular last year of highschool?"... "Dump et"
this made me motivated and in 5 month i finally reached my dream body and changed myself. thank you so much for the help, true hero!❤
Proud of you man. This is the way ;)
He does not listen to his father but some stranger, really? This is sad.
It is not bad to be introvert. Nerds have friends too. We had so much different characters in school that was awesome.
Now everybody tries to be and look the same.
He was not introvert but anti social and i highly agree with the last line
@Gamer_weeb201 that's sociopath not anti social if I'm not wrong.
No, anti social has zero correlation with empathy.
Sadly being introverted as a male is a massive disadvantage. Cold hard reality
Watching this as a school graduate of 2023 IS CRAZY BECAUSE I WAS LITERALLY HIM AND THAT WAS EXACTLY MY STORY
Literally exactly what I'm going through right now even the age is the same
Don't stop bro don't think twice about it.
u dont need anyone . u are strong not a weak person that need others
I can relate to being lonely and dealing with hell in high school. As a 17 year old now, I have more friends outside of school than in school, and I have more money than most of those kids can ever dream to see. It's really important to realize that high school is temporary. And thank god, because I have went through so much pain. However, after high school I will be able to go in the real world as I have already dealt with hardships. And also those kids who are getting everything in high school will have a rude awakening.
To be honest the first minute of the video really relates to me. As a 17 year old who is a bit introverted and can't make friends. I feel Him

I’m so glad for this video.
I did this essentially in high school last year, I made a few quick jokes with some kids in a shop class, and started talking with them in history, and it kind of stemmed from there.
How could i turn back the time when i was in high school its damn too late nobody was there to tell me this.
Same my brother. Knowing all that would have been amazing back then

I hope you’re still with us today! Despite your challenges with drug use, you’re still given the opportunity to wake up everyday with a chance to chase a better tomorrow. Think of how much of an inspiration you would be if you got through this? Think about what a story it would be, that you were 31 years old and finally defeated your demons with heroin and made a revolutionary path to change his life.

September 2024. And im moving on high school!...
really nice Motivation my friend and kinda inspiring but gen Z is doomed. I was Born '97 and had everything you guys dream about expect for an career. never had problems with girls but problems chasing money bc it doesnt fullfill me tbh. I can say that with confidence as a 25 y old. maybe i am a simple man but i just want the love of my life by my side and enough money to travel further (+ basic needs & appartement ofc. ) I've traveled a lot but that was nothing, theres so much more to see.. the feeling of checking into a nice hotel with your girlfriend all alone and throwing yourself on the bed first time and closing youre eyes is the best thing in the world for me. the feeling of independence, not being dependent on others and being sad because my friends left me on read on the weekend. its just us 2. i just don't have any "real" friends. imo theres no such thing as friendship as adult, only love. but thats just my take on that, other people say theres no real love but friendship haha (cope)
What I actually wanted to say is that, according to studies, Gen Z has no sex, problems with socializing ezc etc etc. and you don't learn to socialize overnight. I was also lucky with the times before tik tok and musically existed. meeting people for a beer & joint, doing stupid things not for clout but fun. Oh and i believe here in europe we are not that doomed as American Gen z lol
Seriously bro I'm in gen z and we are doomed
Here is my situation: I was a loser in school but I had a couple friends. I got big muscles and became handsome right as the pandemic put me out of school. I have been isolated for very long and I don't feel like my muscles ect can help me when I am this socially damaged. I am back in school but far worse off than before.
I wasn't a antisocial nerd and I had plenty of friends but I kind of went through this my last 2 years of highschool I just had gym class everyday and started to dress better and get haircuts after wearing a hoodie and just letting my hair do whatever since 4th grade and one day I was sleeping in class like usual and the girls around me were staring at me and the cool kid wanted to hang out but I said no cause I wanted to play video games and riding the public bus home girls were staring at me and the bus driver was super nice to me it was so sureal this video reminded me of it
Bro thinks he is the main character
He slept through the classes for sure. Not a single coma or dot in the whole rambling.
Wake up dude.
00:08 "i hope you will enjoy my son" 💀
I liked everything about this video but one thing that made me feel bad was , they only talked and invited him in their group when he became attractive and changed ,they might leave him again if he doesn't work on his looks
I don’t think they will. You get what you give. If people notice the willingness to make a difference, it’s natural for them to approach you.
This video can show the life of a highschool student when you let others judge you, Its not them really judging you its you judging yourself people can just not know you, You got to try even if they make fun have confidence that's there worst enemy
Wow you gave me goosebumps at the end
Thx zero budget stories , now i feel a change in myself , this video made me think of myself in a different way
Hanging out with chads isn't all that. Sure you get to feel cool but you know that they only hang out with you for the way you talk, the way you dress etc. You can't really be yourself or you'll get chastised. Finding a tribe where you get to be you is the best thing ever.
this sounds corny asf "Finding a tribe where you get to be you is the best thing ever." the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows my dude 😂😂 groups like those are extremely rare
Brother you saved life so much people and me I have 17 years old and I want to start gym and fix my body face hair 🫶🏻🙌🏻
Heheh it's indeed true that sometimes you do need to go through some steps to fit in certain groups, the image of wojak in cars with chads all dressed the same is kinda spot on.
But one thing is not true: you don't need to change. If you're a nerd introvert like Wojak you can always hang out with other nerd introverts and share how is it. Whatever you are in the world there's many millions that can relate.
It's important to not feel like you're wrong or don't fit. It's a dangerous thinking.
Most people have hard times opening up, they feel stupid when sharing, don't be. I'm 36 and I don't have that many friends, like all adults, but all those i have I don't need to compromise or fit, they like me the way I am and so I like them for what they are.
Fantastic video man. Very inspirational.
I appreciate the conversation with his dad at the start.
When I was little, my dad would push me like that, and I thought that he was always stressing me out. But now, i see where he was coming from. Its okay to be introverted! But you don't have to be alone. They're are other people like you who feel the same way. I'm speaking from experience.
I decided to join a video game club in high school. I was one of the only girls there, and I barely knew anyone. I was really shy and uncomfortable at first, but at some point I didn't want to play video games alone anymore at the club.
I decided to approach people who played the same games as me, and I got to meet a lot of awesome people! Even people who were also shy like me. By graduation, I had a small friend group and we were pretty much icons in that club. We got to give a speech to the underclassmen. It was really nice. Even while in college, we still talk every now and then.
Once I got to college, I took what I learned from high school and started joining clubs. I joined a Christian Fellowship club, and got to meet some amazing people. It was nice being able to talk about my faith with people my age! I also joined a women's engineering club, it was awesome getting to learn from the upperclassmen about engineering, and the experiences of being a woman in the field. Even now, it feels like a sisterhood.
I also appreciate this video's message. If you want to be better, BE BETTER. Take care of yourself, and live the life you were blessed with! I also started going to the gym and started eating healthier. I’ve also been taking care of myself mentally.
I know I'm writing a lot, but I really appreciate this video. Thank you for making it bro.
