fr when i go out with friends. we just go at someone's house and stay there talking together the important thing is spend the time with the people you like. i know these guys since the fourth grade school. even now we got work and other things to handle , we still take time to spend together. ( sorry the grammar the english isn't my native language )
Agreed… I’ve tried putting myself out there at the expense of people someone I’m not and finding that people are just into smoking pot and/or drinking…
Agree just discussed with friend same topic and now showing on youtube 😂 they are listening after AI from front canera watching 👀 and suggesting on emotional state according to your face expressions..
Going out is overrated. It's honestly not all that, once you keep going out regularly it gets boring and the older you get the more you want to have your space.
As a 28-year-old who spent my late teens and early to mid-20s partying and drinking, I often engaged in things I shouldn't have. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I was 24 and became more comfortable saying no to unnecessary activities, prioritizing meaningful outings. Since then, I've traveled more and played more sports than ever. As I've grown older, I've come to appreciate my space and prioritize myself over others. I’ve always loved women, but now I focus my efforts on those who show me effort in return. If not, I'm content with being alone or hanging out with friends. Life is more than just women and going out; it's about self-fulfillment, doing what makes you happy, and having a purpose.
I really hate people like you. You experience life as it is and only regret the time spent when you look back. Did you not enjoy the time you spent while you were there and in the moment. You have stories and I mean plenty of them. Each and every place you went to is an interesting conversation starter about your life. The people you meet, the connection you had, or still have came from you experiencing people. When I get in your position all I’m going to remember is that I lived my life to the fullest than thinking I wasted it. Life is an amazing story you end up telling. It wouldn’t be amazing if it didn’t have obstacles.
i get what u mean , but i think he is just telling you to go out and get friends or just to talk to your classmates and friend them in school , he is probably using woman here so more people (teens) might get interested ,but i am exactly like how he mentioned , i went straight to school n came home , rarely went out with friends , and for the last 2 years of high school i moved to a better school ,lost touch with my close friends , after school i got into uni , completed my 1 st year and now im introverted ( i think after covid i became super introverted , what caught me off guard is the point he made about eye contact as they were true) , dont have any close friends , i did get a few friends in uni but they all live in different states. so pretty much 19 , got no friends lmao. knowing the type of person i am idk i think ill just stay alone forever. i am planning to go to gym , (mainly to lose weight). so if i got a chance to my younger self i would have probably told myself to spend some more time with my friends and into some other hobbies as i did waste a lot of time by playing games , i still do but to a very smaller extent. im not even looking to get a girlfriend or anything in fact i probably wont even think about that for 3 more years.
Agree with you, I'm 21 and I have the same mindset and goals, girls, partying, boring meeting ''unnecessary ones'' shouldn't be one of your priorities they are just waste of time and a big regret. You still have more to enjoy and learn for yourself and family, friends.
I only hangout to cure my depression and not blast my brain out and also keep my cognitive motor functioning in check not only that being thankful to the privileged lifestyle to build a great future with someone there for that reason.
Being bullied for 10 years in school made me develop a severe case of social anxiety and agoraphobia. I never had real friends, nor was able to socialize with normal kids and normal people either. Had absolutely no options as nobody would understand the severity of my mental health issues after such a long period of bullying and abuse. It's deeply tied into me. I stayed at home most of my time after (barely) graduating with poor grades due to dyslexia and anxiety issues, and I spent at home for another 10 years. Now at 31, I worked only for like 3 months, and it was damn hard, like I barely kept myself together, remained mostly silent around co-workers, and they labeled me as someone who i'm not (except one colleague, but we required a lot of time to even start communicating, and i'm soo glad that I got at least someone 'normal' now) cuz i'm very good at reading peoples body language and non-verbal communication. I've been through severe depression and times where my physical health has been affected because of it, and I still sometimes run into deep depressive episodes that I hardly tell anyone. I've been to multiple psychiatrists and therapists, but they didn't help much. I'm stuck and I can't fit into this world. Everyone I ever tried to hang with (very rarely) just wasn't a type I would hang with, except this one colleague now.
Idk about the depression, but I went through the same thing you did when I was younger, bullied a lot, afraid to go out, etc. And because of all that, in my early twenties I was afraid to interact with people, it was to the point I would literally start shaking when talking to someone I didn’t know too well. But at some point I talked to some old guy that inspired me and told me I need to do better for myself (I was working at Amazon at the time), after I talked to him I got a job that forced me to be in front of people and get over my social anxiety and it actually worked, I don’t have a problem talking to people now but I still have a problem forming meaningful connections and I’m still working on that
bro , thats agoraphobia as you said , and its symptom feeling not fitting , because of lack selfesteem and confidence that comes along with the traumas .... begin bro please going to therapy and find a psychiatrist and let them know what you feel , so you are in right hands and figure your shit together
@@manishraul everyone on youtube does that. its okay its makes us grow, plus! its all you inside the video and thats what matters g, KEEP it UP UR BLOWING UP!
To be honest, im a pretty good looking guy and i dont have any problem making connections. Even during highschool, girls would often find ways to talk to me and i also had alot of friends but id always choose to be alone at home. It was perfect. Sometimes, you dont always need people to be happy. If you're happy all by yourself, there's nothing wrong. Dont force yourself to be someone you're not
True, pretty damn relatable. When i used to be with my male friends who were friends with different girls they would come to me even if i made it seem like I'm avoiding them, honestly i never saw value in spending time with such people being alone made me feel contended
He's not mostly talking about being happy, he was just saying that when you grow older, you'll wish that when you were younger you went out more which is why you should start doing that bc youth won't last forever.
Brhh think a little. How did you make friends as a kid? Activities. You went to school, clubs, after school activities etc. If you want that kind of environment as an adults its very possible. I wouldnt advise it but there are bars. There is also churchs. If none of thise are for you, then there are sports. Even gym works (rarely tho). But i mostly recommend sports if you cant do church. Do a combat sport like boxing, youll meet other people there. You could also do classes although does rarely work. Also dont let this guy convince you that you cant mkae friends online. Im just saying find some kind of activity that groups you and strangers.
You've just been speaking facts. For most of my high school career I've just been going home after school. I was also a social outcast, so I can relate to you. After awhile it messes with your mental health. You need to go outside and socialize with others. If you don't have any friends at your school, it's maybe because no one wants to be around you (whether that be because you not physically attractive or don't have social skills), but that's ok. Just worry about improving those aspects in your life and you will attract people with similar interest as you, who genuinely make you a better person. Trust me, it's better to have no friends, but constantly improving yourself outside your house, then to let your mental deteriate of constant overthinking and self-hatred at home and letting time pass by.
So basically what ur implying is that in order to get friends and love, you must improve yourself? So that means its all based on conditional connection. Basically fake and Mold yourself to get liked by people? Isnt that weak?
@@BerkantOzdemir-gt3dl It isn't weak...well it is weak but we are weak creatures. At some point in your life you will need the help of other people when you have a problem you can't solve alone. Therefore you need to improve yourself inorder to get their help. Being alone will be painful after some time
I'm not afraid to go outside and talk to people. The issue is, where ARE all the people? I go out a lot, but I just don't meet a lot of people. Everyone is either in a hurry to be somewhere else, or already has enough friends and isn't interested in meeting anyone new.
It impossible for me to meet new people around my own age it very empty out there, you only make friends thru work, club, gym, or activities, hobby, school tech, animal park
the issue is, especially on the internet atm: that people fail to realize to whom a specific advice is targeted towards. there is no yes or no, it depends. and i am getting tired of people online arguing in comments and alike about ''yeah no thats not true, i do it differently and ...'' bro... its because you re not even the target audience for this advice to begin with. you can give advice to one person and it might be completely wrong for another person. just because something works FOR YOU... does not mean it works for everyone else. if a person is sitting at home all day, 100% this person HAS to pretty much FORCE himself to go out more for the greater good. people dont realize that your brain for the most part is not your friend. your brain is resistance. your brain always wants to go the easier route and just chill at home in comfort zone that why you actively have to force yourself to go out. on the other hand if a person is out working and having a working social life to begin with, maybe its a better advice to just take it slow and chill and have a day at home from time to time. it depends, that why arguing about it is beyond pointless.
as an introvert. nah man i've been out a lot in the past, i went through a lot, and i find peace at my home playing on pc my favorite games. thanks for this tho
@@zerafael-si3dd won't say insecurity but can say laziness, im not insecure about anything im happy i go to gym i have friends i go out sometimes but i find peace at playing games like single player for example rdr2 so why do u come here telling that?
This is so weird, i was in this position like 5 to 10 years ago. Now i just go to work, come home, and rest. I got a fiancé, and honestly im content. I don't need to go out and be with people like i used to, i like just chilling. It's very peaceful. Anyone else feel this way?
I'm 29 years old now - will be 30 in a couple of months. I love video games and definitely gonna play them till the end of my life. But I started to feel that I need some changes. Going out more, get to know people, maybe even getting a girlfriend, etc. I don't know if these feelings come from my heart or from outside forces - some people "criticize" me for being a "home stayer"... - but either way, I feel that I need these things. Honestly, I never had a girlfriend. During my school years I was a social outcast and I didn't really make many friends. In high school I wanted to have a girlfriend, but the girls treated me so badly that I didn't even really thought about it to try getting a girlfriend again until nowadays. My looks are okay, though I definitely need to lose some weight. And I have some friends from work too, whom I'm going out with sometimes. I'd like to meet new people, but I fear that I would just bore them or maybe even creep them out. Mostly because I'm not really good at small talk and I don't really have much stories to tell and topics to talk about - other than video games, movies and things like that... But on the bright side, maybe I could get friends through the "things" I like. For example, I'm a fan of Michael Jackson and I've been thinking about meeting other fans through fan pages and clubs :) We'll see what happens. I'm actually mostly satisfied with my life. For those, who reading this, if you feel bad about an aspect of your life and you want to change it. Just do it! Otherwise, live your life the way you want it. Nothing else matters.
I was in a similar situation. I'm 29, turning 30 in October. I was a social outcast and loner at school from grade 9. Remained a social outcast throughout Uni (only had a couple of friends but not very sociable) up until age 25. The year I was 25 was when I finally decided to become sociable, so I booked a big Europe trip. Unfortunately, that was just a couple of months before Covid started, so I ended up losing another 2 years of social life and making friends. I finally got to travel from 2022 at the age of 27 and have done so much since and made heaps of friends. It's definitely not too late to make friends and party in your late 20's. I highly recommend solo travelling. It really helps you to become extroverted and helps you to discover who you really are and the people that you are compatible with.
@@g.e.889 The problem with me is that I don't have anything to talk about with any of my friends. So I just ask them about their life and sooner or later I will lose interest in the whole conversation. Also i will act like I know what they are talking about so i don't look dumb, which inturn makes me feel fake and over the years i forget the point of talking I guess. Coming to think of the whole situation, I was forced to talk to avoid being awkward throughout my life that I don't know who I am anymore. All I know is i am more of a thinker than a talker.
humans need community. We are built for it or evolved for it or whatever you believe, we are social beings. Even introverted people need to socialize, they just also need alone time. Now i think people can get used to solitary, or substitute people with other things, and sometimes i think it can be healthy to do that. But for most socialization is necessary
I agree with you, I've been the same way for a very long time. 3 years ago I've decided that I would change that, that I would go out more, meet new people, exercise, etc. And I did: I'm much healthier now, looking much better and enjoying living a lot more. But you know what didn't change? My connections to other people. Unfortunately, having friends isn't something that depends entirely on you. You need others to try and put in the effort to get to know you too and most people unfortunately don't really want to do that. Most prefer the easier methods of online friendships which, just like you said, don't really fullfill our needs as human beings. You can certainly fix yourself and become more sociable, but that will only get you so far: You also need others to do the same as you, and most people don't bother. Still, with that said, It's certainly worth it.
But we have to change our mindset be comfortable everywhere that have to be done for our own good for our future we can’t stuck forever in this fucking mindset to let u shut u down fight back control our life now didn’t then when 😊
its so difficult to make new friends cause I stayed home for like 5 years straight. I only went to school and had my social circle there and when i graduated last year, my social life was gone. I had no contact with any of them since then, we were just friends because we saw each other every day. After that I started going to university and i realized how difficult it is to make new friends and get to know new people cause i actually got no interest that i could talk about with them and no social skills since i havent made new friends for a long time. I also kinda developed social anxiety, i cant really talk to people in real life, its difficult.
What you just described was my exact situation a couple years ago man. Thing is, now I feel the exact opposite and never feel lonely EVER. Trust the process of getting better at talking with people and you will see how good life will treat you brother. Don't forget to always smile :)
im a girl but i needed this vid sm 🙏i could relate to this, mostly cus of strict parents and social anxiety. this summer im giving it all and trying to hv a 360 change to change who i am. being at home all day n shi is getting u nowhere in life its such a waste fr. live your life to the fullest
@wycko0 it's not about the looks bro. People can be so handsome or beautiful but if they are more on the introvert side, shy away, then other people will also prefer to not bother them
@@wycko0 yes thats me on the pfp haha thank u, and noo man its so hard for me to make friends esp with girls. i was always a loner but tryna change that from now by going out more
man i fully understand this and i think its absolutly right everything you say, i had best life ever until 16yo than i moved to another country where i didnt know anyone and even when i came to school nobody wanted to be my friend since i didnt know their language and they didnt want to speak in english, and ever since that nothing changed i tried different school i learned the language but still everything is same so i just started focusing on my self on our family business and just waiting time to get back to my home country to go out with friends that actually like me and arent fake. 3 years later everything stayed same, i go to university and people around me just feels fake compared to those from home country which i know since being born. even when i made new friend they never want to go out w me idk really know if its nationallity problem or what but man its so sad.... i have many skills on bike as well i am good rider and i go to boxing so i am definetly not antisocial. i am spending most of my time with my dad riding on hills and racing him but i miss going out partying and doing crazy shits that i been doing when i was 14
This shit relatable as hell. I wasted my teens and 20s doing nothing but playing games, watching anime, wrestling, and...porn. I wanted girls but wasn't putting in kinda of work and was doing something that would drive them off instantly.
im 34 - ive done both, sitting at home and enjoy some good games & also going out with friends and had fun with woman. i dont regret anything i did - it made me who i am. there is no key to success or how to live your life - do what you enjoy and stop being someone you aint.
brother life is not all about girls... the real answer is this; Finding something you enjoy (a hobby), making memories with a close friend or friends, travelling & seeing new places, that's living, being happy right now in this very moment is living and nothing else matters
Wanted to chime on this as concise as possible: This video has a message with extremely good intentions and you should feel proud of yourself for taking the time to share this but I believe it only applies for people who are experiencing an extreme amount of loneliness and isolation and not for everyone who has just decided that they are happier staying at home. When I was 19-22 I went out at least every weekend. I felt that I wasted my day if I didn't go out and make friends and would feel like shit if I did not meet anyone interesting that day or if I wasn't able to gain the acceptance of people. I wanted so bad to be cool to others and I went out again and again and again hoping I can find "my tribe". Here's the thing: what if that's just a cope for a deeper thing you're neglecting? I realized that the only reason why I felt loneliness to THAT extent is because I wanted to please everyone and never myself. It was a surprise but it felt familiar at the same time: I felt most happy when I did not care about any of that shit anymore. It took years but now what brings me joy isn't going out, it's staying at home, playing video games, inviting my two best friends over, my sister, and my girlfriend. At this very moment, I don't need more than that. I love being at home. I used to go out to bars every friday making new friends I didn't even know I truly liked when I could have just stayed at home, enjoyed myself, and if I felt like having someone over, they're a call away and if they decline, I still have the pieces of me that make me smile and that's more than enough.
human connection is the main thing because thats what keeps us going if u like it to admit or not. Even as a man most of the historic things done in history was a selfless act trying to protecting someone or something, for a greater cause. u will lose your spark if all u care about is yourself. most of us want to truly improve cause of outside things, like family etc. true purpose comes when ur dedicating your life to something more than yourself. it maybe anything new experiences, adventure being passionate about something, being able to provide for your family , getting a girlfriend etc.
The only thing as a muslim i can think of is my religion and connection to God, since i believe in an eternal life after this one and wanna prepare myself for it. But other than that, like what? Wasting your time playing Elden Ring? It might be enjoyable for the moment, but thats not something youll remember or be proud of in 20 years. Im not saying you should go out every single day and be with others 24/7, just like with everything, you will need moments where you take a break from that aswell, thats when you can play video games, but that should never be your focus in this life. And im not saying all this to talk down on you, im genuinely asking you, like what for example? What am i missing out in your opinion?
@@z0ck3y23 Books, creative writting, workouts, meditation, cooking, working, learning niche things that interest me... any solitary activity, really. I don't need connection to be fufilled and proud, if I'm doing this things. If I want something like sex, I'll just pay. I don't want friends. And I won't be around to look back in 20 years.
Well said. Many people are struggling with video game addictions and have difficulties focusing on their goals as they tend to help escaping the real world because society has fallen down and nowadays is pure chaos. For me, what really matters are my family and my religion. I love workout, talking to my family and deepening my understanding of my faith, such as by reading the Qur'an. This reminds me that this worldly life is only a test, and in the end, what truly matters are the deeds we've done. Like really, there are people that are blind, deaf, or even amputees, making it clear that life is and always will be unfair and not a "so rewarding place". We achieve success through hardship and the difficult tests we face from our lord, and not from satisfaction. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to reflect on our lives, which is very important!
Thanks for this brother. I really needed to hear this rn. Been lonely cunt for years and i have been spending most of my free time playing videogames at home. But this summer im really doing a big chance in my life ❤
Story time. I actually met some of my best friends online, and hung out with them multiple times (flew to the other side of the country). I've been there for some of them going through heart break, and now that same person is getting married this September. We have a bachlors party in Vegas next month... Anything can happen... I've been blessed.
I am 15 no real friends bc the people are weird and material in my class. I met guy same age online 2 years ago and we talk / game everyday and are best friends now and I am his best friend. The thing what I really like about online friends is you can talk about everything. The friends I used to have all some sort betrayed me and you can’t tell them anything private bc would all tell it everyone. Everyone in my area / slash school is only focussed on alcohol/clothes and attention which is the complete opposite of me. 🙏 Jesus loves you ❤️
Mate youre completely right, and Ive been trying these things in the last year or so a bit more, and I will say there is slight improvement, ive gotten to know a few more people.. BUT, what i have also found is that even with my open, friendly and positive attitude around people, they lose interest very fast. The people ive met in real life who ive connected with online will never message me, they will only message on response to me if i have something to ask, and sometimes just they will just straight up not reply. Ive been pretty down about this whole situation because it feels like ive stepped up and improved myself which is cool and all, but its only making me feel worse, and more rejected. Its hard for me to understand why this happens, im not too forward, i find myself pretty chill in conversation and positive, i also dont necessarily think i look bad. Its a pretty tough world we live in, and for people like you and I, its not easy, its a real mountain to climb just to feel like we are wanted and that we fit in. Even with my struggles, i still appreciate your video and agree with all that you said, we need to get out and try, otherwise nothing will happen at all.
Sup fam. I was Grand Master rank on Overwatch as well lol. Although im a few years older than you, everything you said is extremely relatable. I went through the exact same thing and still somewhat going through it. I still love video games and play everyday. But hitting the gym everyday is probably the best first step you could take to do better. I was fortunate enough to find a gamer girlfriend online, but honestly wish i did talk to more girls when i was younger cuz i was shy for no reason. After you get a good job and make money, you fall into comfort but you cant let that stop you from the gym and social grind. Speaking of social grind, one thing i learned is that its not worth trying to cater to people you cant relate to. Those people wont be true "friends". Its unfortunate that i didnt meet you in real life before i graduated college bro. I think we would have been good friends since i could relate to everything you said and have the same exact mindset as you.
Very relatable. Subscribed. At the same time, I think you can do both. As long as you're not always home literally all the time, you can make some friends and feel fulfilled. You dont have to talk to a hundred people. That will make you not appreciate the people in your life. Just make enough friends that you can hang out with every now and then so that you're not socially isolated. Best place for that is probably at work or some sort of leisure weekly activity where you get to see the same people over and over again.
I don’t have Instagram. I don’t have TikTok. I don’t use Snapchat. I don’t have facebook. I don’t have Reddit. I don’t use discord. I don’t have beReal. I don’t have twitch. I don’t have Pinterest. But video games. Man I need to go outside but I don’t want to spend money to do things and without spending money I’m never going to make any friends. I had friends, you know like in school, but people change, people move on and now I don’t really have anybody I can talk to be honest. I work, I go to college etc, but when I come home I don’t have a life. I know that’s partly my fault but like it’s hard, I don’t know what to do. I thought I had actual friend friends, not just ‘friends’. But there you go. So right now I’m just lost.
Thank you. I always knew this in the back of my head but I needed to hear this. I am an introvert, but I used this as an excuse to waste away inside and isolate myself just to hide from my fears regardless of how miserable it made me feel. All I ever do is play games. Even if I started some good habits like taking daily walks, getting sunlight and eating healthy, it never solved how miserable and lonely I really feel. I am not a person who just cold approaches people in public, so I will sign up to a judo dojo. That will be my first step to getting myself out of this crippling solitude.
Bro, I swear my youtube recommendations know too much about me. Seriously though, thank you for the wake up call. For a long ass time I've felt this emptiness that I have tried to fill with studying, working, and consuming content. I have no idea why it hasn't occurred to me that social belonging/intimacy is a human need and is absolutely not optional. I've always labeled myself an introvert, and never made making friends or putting myself out there a priority, but doing so is like fighting my own genetic programming. To my fellow self-labeled introverts out there, let's go touch grass, and hopefully some boobs too.
I stay at home at lot now I recently got out of a 3 year situationship which messed me up and I also lost my job which allowed me to travel I hate where I am in life right now because the world is a massive place full of beautiful places and I want to see these places I stay at home to rebuild myself I go to the gym every day but I'm at the lowest in my self confidence in every way I want my life back and only I can get my life back to those traveling and seeing people enjoy those moments together cherish them because you never know when it'll end and how much you miss it when it's gone.
You’re one of the most realest people out there I wish you were my family member and thank you brother for sharing I subscribed and will keep on watching your content. God bless you and wish you the best 🙂
i think as humans we crave what we dont have. antisocial people crave social relationships. people who have an abundance of friendships crave personal time. i think its important for us to take life into our own hands, and create new things rather than just experiencing life passively.
@@Steve89100 if you don't have friends then you should force yourself to go out and look for friends, cuz nobody else is gonna do it for you, and nobody else should. I mean, you're not a baby. Go out and make friends! So many places you can make friends like the gym, sports center where people play football or basketball, libraries... etc. places where you can find people with common interests and hobbies.
I feel honestly so connected to the words you spoke for the past 5 years I have been waiting for this to fit into my lifestyle but I've realize no major changes are gonna happen if I stayed home all day. This is me in my summer break and I hate it for the fact that I don't have any friends who I really trust to speak to.
thank you! i have been saying this. people are depressed and ashamed of their true introverted selves because they have been brainwashed by society that they need to have thousands of friends and go out every weekend. the fact that they hate themselves for who they really are is enough proof that people suck. the society that made them hate themselves for not going out is the society that will let them down when they follow a sheep mentality and “go out and have fun”. people are boring, overrated, and full of baggage. people really suck. it’s okay to be alone. being alone doesn’t mean lonely.
@@thesurvivorssanctuary6561 Yeah, the thing is, he wont have a divorse cus he never touched a woman and the reason is staying at home* thats the real problem*
I went to the gym recently and had a pretty rough experience. I asked someone for help with lifting a chair, and they ended up mocking me. It made the gym feel even more intimidating than before, and I didn't enjoy it at all. Despite this, I know I can't let it derail my goals. I'm determined to go back and keep pushing forward. Have any of you ever had a similar experience?
its really hard it really is. Im about to be a sophomore in highschool and I feel like im exactly in your shoes. I feel like ever since i left middle school I never had any REAL or TRUE friends, everyone who came from my previous middle school to my currrent highschool were my friends but not the real ones. Once i stepped foot into highschool, I just stuck with people who I knew from last year and did this for the first few weeks and after those few weeks, I realized those werent the people I wanted to hang out with and tried branching out. I eventually did but it was purely circumstantial and I believed to be where i got lucky as I made my first new friend. And the cycle repeated, in this new group of friends we all just played games IN school which is actually crazy. All i did was sit down and play brawlstars 24/7, 7 days a week and soon enough I finished school. My whole freshman year felt wasted, I did not participate in any clubs or school related activities and did zero sports. I really want to change but its so hard. After watching this video makes me feel like someone understands me. Im truly grateful for you bro, hopefully i can create stronger bonds this year and change for the better 😊
This is the most relatable youtube video I've seen, probably ever. You earned a sub. I am 16 now, barely any friends/social communication, stuttering when talking, NO attraction from girls, and summer break is coming up and I don't know if I will really even go out of my house in order to socialize during the break. That is one of my biggest concerns rn. But I think I can do it, this video motivated me. Wish me luck
I'm a Recluse and I love my own company. I work remotely, I ride my motorcycle. I train in my home gym, I eat good food, I go out on drives and see places alone. I have a couple good friends who I meet maybe 3-4 times a year. In my free time I watch anime or study stuff. But mostly I don't crave company because I realised most people suck, and there is a bit of misanthrope in me. Romantic relationships are overrated, I have a couple female friends but I am single by choice. Some days suck, I have my share of demons and trauma (who hasn't), but it's not as bad as it was years ago when I was surrounded by a lot of fake people, used to socialize more and was in a toxic relationship and a shitty job.
thank you! i agree with this. when i say this, people get mad. people are depressed and ashamed of their true introverted selves because they have been brainwashed by society that they need to have thousands of friends and go out every weekend. the fact that they hate themselves for who they really are is enough proof that people suck. the society that made them hate themselves for not going out is the society that will let them down when they follow a sheep mentality and “go out and have fun”. people are boring, overrated, and full of baggage. people really suck. it’s okay to be alone. being alone doesn’t mean lonely.
I was the opposite. Been an extrovert in shape my whole life, model etc. but now I’m 29 I just don’t enjoy going out and getting drunk so find myself with fewer friends as most of my long term friends were made through drinking. Trying to find people on my level now
Sounds like the perfect buddy for me ,but of course you're probably on the other side of the world.But I'm literally in the same boat I stay in shape my whole life but don't drink or smoke and I'm forced to whenever I go out because it's the norm I guess 😂
What i personally believe is that have less friends but you should have genuine connection with them and enjoy with them just don't get bad people around you who does bad stuff 😊
I do not really agree with you. I went outside every day back in the day, but at an age i noticed that i don´t have an interest in most of the people i met and many of them are morally no good humans. I was playing video games alone aswell after that time and it was one of the best times of my life lol. Now i got a girlfriend which i love very much but i still game, even tho i don´t get the same satisfaction out of it because i got my girl and 2 cats and an apartment and work ofc. Everyone is different. As a kid i had so many good friends but i also could play alone in my room for the whole day without the need of social interactions. What i want to say is: listen to yourself, get to know what you really want and then achieve it. Don´t lie or cope with yourself- i see alot of ppl doing that.
I'm gonna download this as an audio to listen to it every day because I literally think All you have said now is all I needed to hear and all I will need to hear in the future till I reach my goals, For me this is the greatest motivation I've ever I could ever
It's not just guys it's girls as well. I am not an extrovert and I love love love video games. Love the Minecraft music in the background btw. I'm down to play on steam!
i used to live just like you did back then, i started to hang out more for the same reason too !! The first thing i did to escape from that situation, was going to the gym daily taking care of myself, my hair and my skin. Im slowly recovering my confidence back, i never been more happy
You see, there are some people (as myself) who were forced to be homeschooled back in 2020. They had no choice if their parents forced them into the house and kept them from going out, I feel bad for them all who did suffer it or still are to this day. I had one friend left that still cared for me even after becoming homeschooled, but eventually they moved and completely ignored me. It really put a huge beating on my life, but I learnt a huge lesson over these 4 years, I even tried making online friends and it never worked out. Eventually I'm going to try getting out again and try to connect with others whether my parents hold me back or not. I think it's time to finally take a step and change my life completely. Thank you for this video, you're very convincing. 💖✨
i can't go out cause i think everyone hookup but acting from outside being so pure.. i had jobs tbh but it really hurts when i see others having fun and i'm just alone all by myself
Bro this was so me man, but i force myself to go out and explore and its a great feeling but yes there's times i want to be alone but going out and explore will definitely open your eyes and realize there's so much opportunity out there to grow as a person.
i totally agree. im 16 years old and i just finished school and its only now after so many years of locking myself away from society that i realise i want to change and have more friends, but what is stopping me is bullying and stuff. back when i was 7 so in 2015 was the last time i had any proper friends. in my first 2 years of schools i was decently popular but i went to a different neighbourhood with all these different kids. and nobody accepted me because everyone already knew eachother so i was known as the "new kid" for so long and it kind of stuck, i never felt like i belonged even after so many years of being there. on my 9th birthday party i invited my entire year-group and 2 people showed up. im going into college in september and i have high hopes because i already met a few of the kids that are joining my college and they're sound people. but im gonna be 20 in 4 years and although that might seem like a lot just think that lockdown was 4 years ago, and that has flown by. edit: by "making friends" i dont mean going out and partying and destroying my kidneys and lungs because i drank or smoked too much, thats not a real friendship those people are only friends with you because you're addicted to the same thing that they're addicted to. a real friend is someone who you can trust. someone who will help you get out of a dark situation such as addiction, also someone who you can travel with i would honestly love to travel with a group of friends. go and see the world, but if other people want that too then they have to make the right choices and not surround theirself with the wrong people
i do stay at home alot, but not because i feel like social outcast, it's just there is nothing in my city to go for every 2 3 days after work. Most of my friend move out from the city like 90% of them and i stayed here cuz i got business to take care of, so i'm just confuse how to make new community that i actually enjoyed and yes i do go to the gym and workout got some gym friends and that;s about it, i don't feel like social outcast but i agree alot from this video, like i do feel like i need to find new stuffs, maybe i will sign up for martial art classes so i can have more new friends
I did nothing but play video games after high school all my 20s.. thanks to that I became very social compared to what I would have been if I never interacted with other players online. I also met my wife playing ps4. I have to admit I do get anxiety when I go out but at least I stayed out of trouble. Who knows what I would have done with my life if I went out with real life local friends that I didn't have. I lived in the DMV area near dc everyone here goes out. I'm glad I just went to work and stayed home.
i love going out, but i only got like one close friend. not tryna complain bc one friend is better than no friends at all, but i feel like having a decent group of friends to go out with seems like so much fun. grateful for what i have tho no doubt. ❤
And then i went to a few of those "parties" that i keep getting invited to and found out that 90% of the people there are on their phones or go off in groups and gossip about the other group. The rest are looking around to get laid or getting high just to roam around like mental patients. Then not to mention me minding my business and getting groped or sat on, then i have to explain im not tryna get laid, i dont drink, no drugs, and then i feel like im the weirdo so i just proceed to go home Never felt so miserable in my life. The party lifestlye that 20yr olds describe is not fun at all
Back in 2019 i moved from Alberta all the way to PEI (provinces in Canada) and it was most likely one of the toughest things ive ever had to deal with. I struggled hard to make new friends and only a few ive made over the past 5 years. Recently I connected back with my friends from my home province being Alberta, and that has honestly done wonders for me. But every now and then I still dot back to what would life be like if I didn't move? After the move and when i first started my new school (in grade 8 in 2019, present day im done high school now) I would come back home and spend all my hours in my room mostly crying and silently cussing out my parents for moving us here. Obviously i dont curse them anymore but theres still a bit of a resentment, which I know is immature buts its hard to forgive them for what they changed, which was basically everything. I just felt like saying something idk, sorry.
I'm 16 never gone to a gym, alone because of my social anxiety and I've gained social anxiety from my learning and spelling disability dyslexia and OCD . And I used to spend my time gaming with online friends then by my myself until just recently I've distracted myself from being social by fulfilling my dream of becoming a woodworker / carpenter and I'm going to start the gym and I hope this will make me feel more confident and less social distanced.
i have one friend that i hang out a lot and why the hell do I need bitches when I have a formidable friend that I go out with who needs bitches you got your homie bro bros first
26y , moved around a lot. Travelled the world , felt life changing, free. Returned years later to my home country. Testing to build a life now, maintaining self discipline and important values. Hardest for me is to break out of the dry & boring small talk. society seems so boxed in, kills my vibe & motivation quite often...
Appreciate, relatable, i also spent almost 14 years at home, and faced Many issues anxiety depression, but finally i realised and i try to keep a balance that makes me back to life, Anything too much is not good. Walking with friends is best thing, but u also need to spend time with family, after doing that you ll enjoy ur personal space
online friends are not friends.. they are rather... temporary companions that happen to walk in the same direction for a while. its all fake besides that. online friends are as much of a real friend, as luigi is your friend just because you play super mario or chatgpt is. you will realize that at some point at it will come sooner than later and than you will regret time wasted. real friends come to your house and hug you just because they can.
@@MaybeTiberius So? Not everyone likes going out, and we all like different things in life. How do you know that he'll regret anything? Maybe that's exactly how he wants to live. Also, there's no such thing as "wasting your time" because we all die in the end, and no matter what you do in life, it won't matter. Time you enjoyed is not a wasted time, and the things you think are a good use of time, are a waste of time to someone else.
@@GamingAndChill not talking to a guy called ''gamingandchill'' tbh. pointless to argue with an addict. argue with a crack addict that they should drink a smoothie instead and you ll get the same result xD ''oh man bro but i enjoy pumping heroin into my veins, it cant be a waste of time if i enjoy it right?'' yeah... you do you, you ll realize at some point eventually and for the rest: well you cant save everyone. some people are willing to learn and improve and the others, well just fck em
I’d work on myself if I didn’t look disgusting lol, I’ve also wanted girls but ever since at a young age they always looked at me with disgust, it’s really hard to stay motivated I even tried forcing myself going to the gym to a couple of times but it didn’t last long because of knowing how it wouldn’t fix the problem. Now I’m at a point where I just don’t care anymore, I just come home, lock myself in my room and don’t talk to anybody
Aint it crazy how dudes who aint exactly considered traditionally goodlookin can still get ladies? It aint about the face, it's about the state of mind. You what you think you is. If you think you a boss, you a boss. If you think you a scrub, you a scrub. You say you confident, you confident. You say you weak, you weak. Basic stuff. If you think you ugly, guess what? You gone manifest that ugliness, and people gone see it too. But if you think you fly, you gone manifest that attractiveness, and they gone see it too. Every single word you say got power. Use them to manifest your dreams to life, not your fears.
Brother it's truly unfair that some us are unattractive or even ugly, its really diffucult these days, just try your best man train for a long time till you get ripped, do skincare, maybe get your nose done if its too big, grow out your hair mayhe that'll look good on you? There's so much you can do
I don’t got a lot of friends. But I can go sit in a bar alone, a restaurant, I can go anywhere and do anything alone.. I’m pretty comfortable with that. I had to get out there and be comfortable with being alone. I stayed home or was working while my friends were partying. I think it’s pretty top tier to get out of that rut and go out, you don’t have to be with people to do things.
I feel the same way bro, absolutely goated at the games I play, but at what cost .. it’s comforting in your safe space but everyone needs a breath of fresh air every now and then
..but what if I have some condition known as Autism? It's making things harder as if I am playing Dark souls IV in real life. Fortunately I started a job working at Tim Hortons (basically like dunkin donuts) and it's going pretty well. I feel a bit better than drowning myself in my room.
If you have autism this is not four you, no at all because you are different. But we are social animals, and our brain is going to damage itself in search of having other people to talk to
This is the first time i feel like ive been through the same shit as someone else bc thats happening to me right now but luckly for me i forced myself out my comfort zone to talk to people and i have to admit it has made it easier to talk to people and do shit u normally wouldnt do and playing video games and staying at home eventually gets boring and u will crave a need to talk to someone or just have any social interaction with someone but coming out your comfort zone will have a big impact on your life as a man and if u want a girl or man u must go outside and interact with people and get to know them and as a man life isnt easy so u must work on yourself on your looks and your life dont wait for someone to talk to u because no one will u must put yourself out there and talk to people, u must do it now and dont keep waiting the more u wait the more time u waste that you will never get back.
Relatable, every single word. I am talking with someone but she is a single mom, and I am going to meet up with her. Women these days are just not it man. Dating in this year is what makes me not even wanna try. I started working out doing calisthenics 3 years ago, and I am strong and look decently good. It's a long distance relationship and I am going to meet her for the first time now in Friday, and yeah... life is never how you value yourself or plan it anymore. Time flies and you just gotta do and adapt. There is no other choice sadly. I could wait more but that's just sad when I've built this relation and bond I have with her and time is valueable. Being a stepdad, losing vcard and potentially becoming a dad all in one, while also being the first ever real genuine relation with a girl in my life, is a fucking huge step... but I hope God allows it and helps me. I am studying and have 1 more year, and you never know. It might be her, it might not... but you just gotta live life and not watch others live it and waste time being drained by video games and trying to put so high stakes on becoming a prodigy.
One time when I was 10, I tried to speak to literal strangers, they rejected me, which developed my social anxiety. However, I do speak with people, had a lot of intimacy, and did stuff to remember where when I tell a story of mine to someone whom I expect them to have more stories than me, they just told me that more things happened in my life than theirs. Video games kept me sane during the roughest moments of my life and thanks to them, I am a good person. But at the same time, people have changed me to the point where I try to be the best version of myself. You all just need to know the balance when to stop playing and when to stop being comfortable with people, because most people I have met were temporary, including the girls I have dated/had intercourse.
The more I go out the more I confirm Im not missing s***

@@firewolf7108nah.
As a 28-year-old who spent my late teens and early to mid-20s partying and drinking, I often engaged in things I shouldn't have. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I was 24 and became more comfortable saying no to unnecessary activities, prioritizing meaningful outings. Since then, I've traveled more and played more sports than ever. As I've grown older, I've come to appreciate my space and prioritize myself over others. I’ve always loved women, but now I focus my efforts on those who show me effort in return. If not, I'm content with being alone or hanging out with friends. Life is more than just women and going out; it's about self-fulfillment, doing what makes you happy, and having a purpose.
I really hate people like you. You experience life as it is and only regret the time spent when you look back. Did you not enjoy the time you spent while you were there and in the moment. You have stories and I mean plenty of them. Each and every place you went to is an interesting conversation starter about your life. The people you meet, the connection you had, or still have came from you experiencing people. When I get in your position all I’m going to remember is that I lived my life to the fullest than thinking I wasted it. Life is an amazing story you end up telling. It wouldn’t be amazing if it didn’t have obstacles.
He is kinda on his early twenties, that's why he thinks like that
i get what u mean , but i think he is just telling you to go out and get friends or just to talk to your classmates and friend them in school , he is probably using woman here so more people (teens) might get interested ,but i am exactly like how he mentioned , i went straight to school n came home , rarely went out with friends , and for the last 2 years of high school i moved to a better school ,lost touch with my close friends , after school i got into uni , completed my 1 st year and now im introverted ( i think after covid i became super introverted , what caught me off guard is the point he made about eye contact as they were true) , dont have any close friends , i did get a few friends in uni but they all live in different states. so pretty much 19 , got no friends lmao. knowing the type of person i am idk i think ill just stay alone forever. i am planning to go to gym , (mainly to lose weight). so if i got a chance to my younger self i would have probably told myself to spend some more time with my friends and into some other hobbies as i did waste a lot of time by playing games , i still do but to a very smaller extent. im not even looking to get a girlfriend or anything in fact i probably wont even think about that for 3 more years.
Agree with you, I'm 21 and I have the same mindset and goals, girls, partying, boring meeting ''unnecessary ones'' shouldn't be one of your priorities they are just waste of time and a big regret. You still have more to enjoy and learn for yourself and family, friends.
Happiness is subjective. Your brain, is not. Just equalize those levels. Purpose? Sounds cliché for this...

Nah go out and work
I'm 31 yo and I feel awesome... I don't even think about going out and doing stuff. I have things to do at home. They make me feel alive
I only hangout to cure my depression and not blast my brain out and also keep my cognitive motor functioning in check not only that being thankful to the privileged lifestyle to build a great future with someone there for that reason.

Being bullied for 10 years in school made me develop a severe case of social anxiety and agoraphobia. I never had real friends, nor was able to socialize with normal kids and normal people either. Had absolutely no options as nobody would understand the severity of my mental health issues after such a long period of bullying and abuse. It's deeply tied into me. I stayed at home most of my time after (barely) graduating with poor grades due to dyslexia and anxiety issues, and I spent at home for another 10 years. Now at 31, I worked only for like 3 months, and it was damn hard, like I barely kept myself together, remained mostly silent around co-workers, and they labeled me as someone who i'm not (except one colleague, but we required a lot of time to even start communicating, and i'm soo glad that I got at least someone 'normal' now) cuz i'm very good at reading peoples body language and non-verbal communication. I've been through severe depression and times where my physical health has been affected because of it, and I still sometimes run into deep depressive episodes that I hardly tell anyone. I've been to multiple psychiatrists and therapists, but they didn't help much. I'm stuck and I can't fit into this world. Everyone I ever tried to hang with (very rarely) just wasn't a type I would hang with, except this one colleague now.
I hear you man. Find more people just like your colleague :)
Idk about the depression, but I went through the same thing you did when I was younger, bullied a lot, afraid to go out, etc. And because of all that, in my early twenties I was afraid to interact with people, it was to the point I would literally start shaking when talking to someone I didn’t know too well.
But at some point I talked to some old guy that inspired me and told me I need to do better for myself (I was working at Amazon at the time), after I talked to him I got a job that forced me to be in front of people and get over my social anxiety and it actually worked, I don’t have a problem talking to people now but I still have a problem forming meaningful connections and I’m still working on that
bro , thats agoraphobia as you said , and its symptom feeling not fitting , because of lack selfesteem and confidence that comes along with the traumas .... begin bro please going to therapy and find a psychiatrist and let them know what you feel , so you are in right hands and figure your shit together

To be honest, im a pretty good looking guy and i dont have any problem making connections.

Sometimes, you dont always need people to be happy. If you're happy all by yourself, there's nothing wrong. Dont force yourself to be someone you're not
Yeah😀❤️💯
yea social media might make you think you are not okay with your life even if you are happy with it and make you doubt yourself.
True, pretty damn relatable. When i used to be with my male friends who were friends with different girls they would come to me even if i made it seem like I'm avoiding them, honestly i never saw value in spending time with such people being alone made me feel contended
exactly. many people with lots of friends and wealth are empty on the inside. people dont make you happy.
He's not mostly talking about being happy, he was just saying that when you grow older, you'll wish that when you were younger you went out more which is why you should start doing that bc youth won't last forever.

It’s not late bro I’m 26 here and going through the same.
Brhh think a little. How did you make friends as a kid? Activities. You went to school, clubs, after school activities etc.
If you want that kind of environment as an adults its very possible. I wouldnt advise it but there are bars. There is also churchs. If none of thise are for you, then there are sports. Even gym works (rarely tho). But i mostly recommend sports if you cant do church. Do a combat sport like boxing, youll meet other people there.
You could also do classes although does rarely work. Also dont let this guy convince you that you cant mkae friends online.
Im just saying find some kind of activity that groups you and strangers.

You've just been speaking facts. For most of my high school career I've just been going home after school. I was also a social outcast, so I can relate to you. After awhile it messes with your mental health. You need to go outside and socialize with others. If you don't have any friends at your school, it's maybe because no one wants to be around you (whether that be because you not physically attractive or don't have social skills), but that's ok. Just worry about improving those aspects in your life and you will attract people with similar interest as you, who genuinely make you a better person. Trust me, it's better to have no friends, but constantly improving yourself outside your house, then to let your mental deteriate of constant overthinking and self-hatred at home and letting time pass by.
Facts
well said
So basically what ur implying is that in order to get friends and love, you must improve yourself? So that means its all based on conditional connection. Basically fake and Mold yourself to get liked by people? Isnt that weak?
@@BerkantOzdemir-gt3dl It isn't weak...well it is weak but we are weak creatures. At some point in your life you will need the help of other people when you have a problem you can't solve alone. Therefore you need to improve yourself inorder to get their help. Being alone will be painful after some time
I'm not afraid to go outside and talk to people. The issue is, where ARE all the people?
I go out a lot, but I just don't meet a lot of people. Everyone is either in a hurry to be somewhere else, or already has enough friends and isn't interested in meeting anyone new.

@@welpnope-nk2nzcause usually when your older most people already have cliques they don’t want new people especially men
the issue is, especially on the internet atm: that people fail to realize to whom a specific advice is targeted towards. there is no yes or no, it depends. and i am getting tired of people online arguing in comments and alike about ''yeah no thats not true, i do it differently and ...'' bro... its because you re not even the target audience for this advice to begin with. you can give advice to one person and it might be completely wrong for another person. just because something works FOR YOU... does not mean it works for everyone else.
if a person is sitting at home all day, 100% this person HAS to pretty much FORCE himself to go out more for the greater good. people dont realize that your brain for the most part is not your friend. your brain is resistance. your brain always wants to go the easier route and just chill at home in comfort zone that why you actively have to force yourself to go out.
on the other hand if a person is out working and having a working social life to begin with, maybe its a better advice to just take it slow and chill and have a day at home from time to time.
it depends, that why arguing about it is beyond pointless.

This is so weird, i was in this position like 5 to 10 years ago. Now i just go to work, come home, and rest. I got a fiancé, and honestly im content. I don't need to go out and be with people like i used to, i like just chilling. It's very peaceful. Anyone else feel this way?
I'm 29 years old now - will be 30 in a couple of months.
I love video games and definitely gonna play them till the end of my life.
But I started to feel that I need some changes. Going out more, get to know people, maybe even getting a girlfriend, etc.
I don't know if these feelings come from my heart or from outside forces - some people "criticize" me for being a "home stayer"... - but either way, I feel that I need these things.
Honestly, I never had a girlfriend. During my school years I was a social outcast and I didn't really make many friends.
In high school I wanted to have a girlfriend, but the girls treated me so badly that I didn't even really thought about it to try getting a girlfriend again until nowadays.
My looks are okay, though I definitely need to lose some weight.
And I have some friends from work too, whom I'm going out with sometimes.
I'd like to meet new people, but I fear that I would just bore them or maybe even creep them out. Mostly because I'm not really good at small talk and I don't really have much stories to tell and topics to talk about - other than video games, movies and things like that...
But on the bright side, maybe I could get friends through the "things" I like.
For example, I'm a fan of Michael Jackson and I've been thinking about meeting other fans through fan pages and clubs :)
We'll see what happens. I'm actually mostly satisfied with my life.
For those, who reading this, if you feel bad about an aspect of your life and you want to change it. Just do it!
Otherwise, live your life the way you want it. Nothing else matters.
Thanks for sharing this brother
How do you know my life story?
Hey this is also me, but I'm 1 year younger than you. I'd say don't worry too much about it. Really living for myself is what helped me alot
I was in a similar situation. I'm 29, turning 30 in October. I was a social outcast and loner at school from grade 9. Remained a social outcast throughout Uni (only had a couple of friends but not very sociable) up until age 25. The year I was 25 was when I finally decided to become sociable, so I booked a big Europe trip. Unfortunately, that was just a couple of months before Covid started, so I ended up losing another 2 years of social life and making friends. I finally got to travel from 2022 at the age of 27 and have done so much since and made heaps of friends. It's definitely not too late to make friends and party in your late 20's. I highly recommend solo travelling. It really helps you to become extroverted and helps you to discover who you really are and the people that you are compatible with.
@@g.e.889 The problem with me is that I don't have anything to talk about with any of my friends. So I just ask them about their life and sooner or later I will lose interest in the whole conversation. Also i will act like I know what they are talking about so i don't look dumb, which inturn makes me feel fake and over the years i forget the point of talking I guess. Coming to think of the whole situation, I was forced to talk to avoid being awkward throughout my life that I don't know who I am anymore. All I know is i am more of a thinker than a talker.
Fuck... this level of honest no bs advice is what we need more on yt now
Why is it so hard to understand that some people are completely fine, and actually prefere being alone and in peace?
This video isn't for those people.
But it's not the right thing.
some folk will try to think for you
humans need community. We are built for it or evolved for it or whatever you believe, we are social beings. Even introverted people need to socialize, they just also need alone time. Now i think people can get used to solitary, or substitute people with other things, and sometimes i think it can be healthy to do that. But for most socialization is necessary
I agree with you, I've been the same way for a very long time. 3 years ago I've decided that I would change that, that I would go out more, meet new people, exercise, etc. And I did: I'm much healthier now, looking much better and enjoying living a lot more. But you know what didn't change? My connections to other people.
Unfortunately, having friends isn't something that depends entirely on you. You need others to try and put in the effort to get to know you too and most people unfortunately don't really want to do that. Most prefer the easier methods of online friendships which, just like you said, don't really fullfill our needs as human beings.
You can certainly fix yourself and become more sociable, but that will only get you so far: You also need others to do the same as you, and most people don't bother. Still, with that said, It's certainly worth it.
going out makes me so mentally tired. i need to get to home to recharge
Sign that it mentally challenges you bro. May you get out more so you strengthen your mind 💪
@@charis5070 no i dont have to
Yes you have,and you need me for that@@gamwsas
Worddddd
But we have to change our mindset be comfortable everywhere that have to be done for our own good for our future we can’t stuck forever in this fucking mindset to let u shut u down fight back control our life now didn’t then when 😊
its so difficult to make new friends cause I stayed home for like 5 years straight. I only went to school and had my social circle there and when i graduated last year, my social life was gone. I had no contact with any of them since then, we were just friends because we saw each other every day. After that I started going to university and i realized how difficult it is to make new friends and get to know new people cause i actually got no interest that i could talk about with them and no social skills since i havent made new friends for a long time. I also kinda developed social anxiety, i cant really talk to people in real life, its difficult.
What you just described was my exact situation a couple years ago man. Thing is, now I feel the exact opposite and never feel lonely EVER.
Trust the process of getting better at talking with people and you will see how good life will treat you brother.
Don't forget to always smile :)
man after 12 hours of work/day the only thing i beg for is staying home and game all day
im a girl but i needed this vid sm 🙏i could relate to this, mostly cus of strict parents and social anxiety. this summer im giving it all and trying to hv a 360 change to change who i am. being at home all day n shi is getting u nowhere in life its such a waste fr. live your life to the fullest
Bruh when I clicked this video I was still feeling kinda down, after seeing you here, made me cheer up😂. Seriously bruh what the heck you doing here?
nah if thats u on the pfp girl u look amazing go out you will be accepted by people and you will make friends pretty easily
@wycko0 it's not about the looks bro. People can be so handsome or beautiful but if they are more on the introvert side, shy away, then other people will also prefer to not bother them
@@tesla9665 wdym what am i doing here? i relate to this shit 💀
@@wycko0 yes thats me on the pfp haha thank u, and noo man its so hard for me to make friends esp with girls. i was always a loner but tryna change that from now by going out more
man i fully understand this and i think its absolutly right everything you say, i had best life ever until 16yo than i moved to another country where i didnt know anyone and even when i came to school nobody wanted to be my friend since i didnt know their language and they didnt want to speak in english, and ever since that nothing changed i tried different school i learned the language but still everything is same so i just started focusing on my self on our family business and just waiting time to get back to my home country to go out with friends that actually like me and arent fake. 3 years later everything stayed same, i go to university and people around me just feels fake compared to those from home country which i know since being born. even when i made new friend they never want to go out w me idk really know if its nationallity problem or what but man its so sad.... i have many skills on bike as well i am good rider and i go to boxing so i am definetly not antisocial. i am spending most of my time with my dad riding on hills and racing him but i miss going out partying and doing crazy shits that i been doing when i was 14
It's so true that people at uni seem "fake" compared to back at the home country
Man said all that just to sell his self improvement course
LMAAAAOO HAHAHAH
Another pаjeet promoting a scam, what do you expect
facts lmao
And then there are ppl like you.
Thanks for saving me 9 minutes lol. I scroll through comments while listening.
This shit relatable as hell. I wasted my teens and 20s doing nothing but playing games, watching anime, wrestling, and...porn. I wanted girls but wasn't putting in kinda of work and was doing something that would drive them off instantly.
Dude its your face who drovr them off
No, you did those things because you couldn't get girls
No, you did that because girls weren't interested
@@Incel371not cool bro
Nga that comment wasnt needed, not cool and huge L @Incel371
im 34 - ive done both, sitting at home and enjoy some good games & also going out with friends and had fun with woman.
i dont regret anything i did - it made me who i am.
there is no key to success or how to live your life - do what you enjoy and stop being someone you aint.
brother life is not all about girls... the real answer is this; Finding something you enjoy (a hobby), making memories with a close friend or friends, travelling & seeing new places, that's living, being happy right now in this very moment is living and nothing else matters
Those girls eventually will leave him and make his life 10 yrs of hell more.
I think he actually means exactly that.
Wanted to chime on this as concise as possible: This video has a message with extremely good intentions and you should feel proud of yourself for taking the time to share this but I believe it only applies for people who are experiencing an extreme amount of loneliness and isolation and not for everyone who has just decided that they are happier staying at home. When I was 19-22 I went out at least every weekend. I felt that I wasted my day if I didn't go out and make friends and would feel like shit if I did not meet anyone interesting that day or if I wasn't able to gain the acceptance of people. I wanted so bad to be cool to others and I went out again and again and again hoping I can find "my tribe". Here's the thing: what if that's just a cope for a deeper thing you're neglecting? I realized that the only reason why I felt loneliness to THAT extent is because I wanted to please everyone and never myself. It was a surprise but it felt familiar at the same time: I felt most happy when I did not care about any of that shit anymore. It took years but now what brings me joy isn't going out, it's staying at home, playing video games, inviting my two best friends over, my sister, and my girlfriend. At this very moment, I don't need more than that. I love being at home. I used to go out to bars every friday making new friends I didn't even know I truly liked when I could have just stayed at home, enjoyed myself, and if I felt like having someone over, they're a call away and if they decline, I still have the pieces of me that make me smile and that's more than enough.
This is so related. Good video, man.
thanks man!!
There is more to life than human connection.
There is more to life than air, food and water.
THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN LIFE.
human connection is the main thing because thats what keeps us going if u like it to admit or not. Even as a man most of the historic things done in history was a selfless act trying to protecting someone or something, for a greater cause. u will lose your spark if all u care about is yourself. most of us want to truly improve cause of outside things, like family etc. true purpose comes when ur dedicating your life to something more than yourself. it maybe anything new experiences, adventure being passionate about something, being able to provide for your family , getting a girlfriend etc.
Is there? Human connection is pretty important.
The only thing as a muslim i can think of is my religion and connection to God, since i believe in an eternal life after this one and wanna prepare myself for it. But other than that, like what? Wasting your time playing Elden Ring? It might be enjoyable for the moment, but thats not something youll remember or be proud of in 20 years. Im not saying you should go out every single day and be with others 24/7, just like with everything, you will need moments where you take a break from that aswell, thats when you can play video games, but that should never be your focus in this life.
And im not saying all this to talk down on you, im genuinely asking you, like what for example? What am i missing out in your opinion?
@@z0ck3y23
Books, creative writting, workouts, meditation, cooking, working, learning niche things that interest me... any solitary activity, really.
I don't need connection to be fufilled and proud, if I'm doing this things. If I want something like sex, I'll just pay. I don't want friends. And I won't be around to look back in 20 years.
Well said. Many people are struggling with video game addictions and have difficulties focusing on their goals as they tend to help escaping the real world because society has fallen down and nowadays is pure chaos.
For me, what really matters are my family and my religion. I love workout, talking to my family and deepening my understanding of my faith, such as by reading the Qur'an. This reminds me that this worldly life is only a test, and in the end, what truly matters are the deeds we've done.
Like really, there are people that are blind, deaf, or even amputees, making it clear that life is and always will be unfair and not a "so rewarding place". We achieve success through hardship and the difficult tests we face from our lord, and not from satisfaction. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to reflect on our lives, which is very important!
Nobody is addicted to video games lol, there's just nothing else to do
@@theking8347 great excuse video game addict
@@zerafael-si3dd I barely play video games anymore. There's still nothing to do.
Thanks for this brother. I really needed to hear this rn. Been lonely cunt for years and i have been spending most of my free time playing videogames at home. But this summer im really doing a big chance in my life ❤
Story time.
I actually met some of my best friends online, and hung out with them multiple times (flew to the other side of the country). I've been there for some of them going through heart break, and now that same person is getting married this September. We have a bachlors party in Vegas next month...
Anything can happen... I've been blessed.
I am 15 no real friends bc the people are weird and material in my class. I met guy same age online 2 years ago and we talk / game everyday and are best friends now and I am his best friend. The thing what I really like about online friends is you can talk about everything. The friends I used to have all some sort betrayed me and you can’t tell them anything private bc would all tell it everyone. Everyone in my area / slash school is only focussed on alcohol/clothes and attention which is the complete opposite of me. 🙏 Jesus loves you ❤️
Mate youre completely right, and Ive been trying these things in the last year or so a bit more, and I will say there is slight improvement, ive gotten to know a few more people.. BUT, what i have also found is that even with my open, friendly and positive attitude around people, they lose interest very fast. The people ive met in real life who ive connected with online will never message me, they will only message on response to me if i have something to ask, and sometimes just they will just straight up not reply.
Ive been pretty down about this whole situation because it feels like ive stepped up and improved myself which is cool and all, but its only making me feel worse, and more rejected.
Its hard for me to understand why this happens, im not too forward, i find myself pretty chill in conversation and positive, i also dont necessarily think i look bad.
Its a pretty tough world we live in, and for people like you and I, its not easy, its a real mountain to climb just to feel like we are wanted and that we fit in.
Even with my struggles, i still appreciate your video and agree with all that you said, we need to get out and try, otherwise nothing will happen at all.
Sup fam. I was Grand Master rank on Overwatch as well lol. Although im a few years older than you, everything you said is extremely relatable. I went through the exact same thing and still somewhat going through it. I still love video games and play everyday. But hitting the gym everyday is probably the best first step you could take to do better. I was fortunate enough to find a gamer girlfriend online, but honestly wish i did talk to more girls when i was younger cuz i was shy for no reason. After you get a good job and make money, you fall into comfort but you cant let that stop you from the gym and social grind.
Speaking of social grind, one thing i learned is that its not worth trying to cater to people you cant relate to. Those people wont be true "friends". Its unfortunate that i didnt meet you in real life before i graduated college bro. I think we would have been good friends since i could relate to everything you said and have the same exact mindset as you.
So true brother. We can still be friends bro :)
Very relatable. Subscribed. At the same time, I think you can do both. As long as you're not always home literally all the time, you can make some friends and feel fulfilled. You dont have to talk to a hundred people. That will make you not appreciate the people in your life. Just make enough friends that you can hang out with every now and then so that you're not socially isolated. Best place for that is probably at work or some sort of leisure weekly activity where you get to see the same people over and over again.

But video games. Man I need to go outside but I don’t want to spend money to do things and without spending money I’m never going to make any friends.
I had friends, you know like in school, but people change, people move on and now I don’t really have anybody I can talk to be honest.
I work, I go to college etc, but when I come home I don’t have a life.
I know that’s partly my fault but like it’s hard, I don’t know what to do.
I thought I had actual friend friends, not just ‘friends’. But there you go.

Thank you. I always knew this in the back of my head but I needed to hear this. I am an introvert, but I used this as an excuse to waste away inside and isolate myself just to hide from my fears regardless of how miserable it made me feel. All I ever do is play games. Even if I started some good habits like taking daily walks, getting sunlight and eating healthy, it never solved how miserable and lonely I really feel. I am not a person who just cold approaches people in public, so I will sign up to a judo dojo. That will be my first step to getting myself out of this crippling solitude.
Bro, I swear my youtube recommendations know too much about me. Seriously though, thank you for the wake up call. For a long ass time I've felt this emptiness that I have tried to fill with studying, working, and consuming content. I have no idea why it hasn't occurred to me that social belonging/intimacy is a human need and is absolutely not optional. I've always labeled myself an introvert, and never made making friends or putting myself out there a priority, but doing so is like fighting my own genetic programming. To my fellow self-labeled introverts out there, let's go touch grass, and hopefully some boobs too.
I stay at home at lot now I recently got out of a 3 year situationship which messed me up and I also lost my job which allowed me to travel I hate where I am in life right now because the world is a massive place full of beautiful places and I want to see these places I stay at home to rebuild myself I go to the gym every day but I'm at the lowest in my self confidence in every way I want my life back and only I can get my life back to those traveling and seeing people enjoy those moments together cherish them because you never know when it'll end and how much you miss it when it's gone.
You’re one of the most realest people out there I wish you were my family member and thank you brother for sharing I subscribed and will keep on watching your content. God bless you and wish you the best 🙂
i think as humans we crave what we dont have. antisocial people crave social relationships. people who have an abundance of friendships crave personal time. i think its important for us to take life into our own hands, and create new things rather than just experiencing life passively.

You too can have friends man. He wasn’t born with these friends, and we all had 0 friends at one point. You have to go out and make friends
@@Khaled-F nah if you have school friends that's good, if not don't force yourself to go out and look for people to be your friends
@@Steve89100 if you don't have friends then you should force yourself to go out and look for friends, cuz nobody else is gonna do it for you, and nobody else should. I mean, you're not a baby. Go out and make friends! So many places you can make friends like the gym, sports center where people play football or basketball, libraries... etc. places where you can find people with common interests and hobbies.
I feel honestly so connected to the words you spoke for the past 5 years I have been waiting for this to fit into my lifestyle but I've realize no major changes are gonna happen if I stayed home all day. This is me in my summer break and I hate it for the fact that I don't have any friends who I really trust to speak to.
when I stay home new new idia came in my mind about life and career, but when I go out I forgot everything
Every time I go out, it makes me realise that staying home isn't bad at all

I went to the gym recently and had a pretty rough experience. I asked someone for help with lifting a chair, and they ended up mocking me. It made the gym feel even more intimidating than before, and I didn't enjoy it at all. Despite this, I know I can't let it derail my goals. I'm determined to go back and keep pushing forward. Have any of you ever had a similar experience?
Straight to the point and very smoothly delivered, thanks brother 💪
its really hard it really is. Im about to be a sophomore in highschool and I feel like im exactly in your shoes. I feel like ever since i left middle school I never had any REAL or TRUE friends, everyone who came from my previous middle school to my currrent highschool were my friends but not the real ones. Once i stepped foot into highschool, I just stuck with people who I knew from last year and did this for the first few weeks and after those few weeks, I realized those werent the people I wanted to hang out with and tried branching out. I eventually did but it was purely circumstantial and I believed to be where i got lucky as I made my first new friend. And the cycle repeated, in this new group of friends we all just played games IN school which is actually crazy. All i did was sit down and play brawlstars 24/7, 7 days a week and soon enough I finished school. My whole freshman year felt wasted, I did not participate in any clubs or school related activities and did zero sports. I really want to change but its so hard. After watching this video makes me feel like someone understands me. Im truly grateful for you bro, hopefully i can create stronger bonds this year and change for the better 😊
This is the most relatable youtube video I've seen, probably ever. You earned a sub. I am 16 now, barely any friends/social communication, stuttering when talking, NO attraction from girls, and summer break is coming up and I don't know if I will really even go out of my house in order to socialize during the break. That is one of my biggest concerns rn. But I think I can do it, this video motivated me. Wish me luck
I’m 16 as well my friend, 3 months ago i started working out and haven’t stopped. I feel like a whole new person now. You can do it man.
Similar background, video games after school and weekends while all my peers would be hanging out.
Damn relatable

My friend Mathew passed away from taking his own life in 2016 because he stayed in all day playing video games not being able to be social
I'm a Recluse and I love my own company. I work remotely, I ride my motorcycle. I train in my home gym, I eat good food, I go out on drives and see places alone. I have a couple good friends who I meet maybe 3-4 times a year. In my free time I watch anime or study stuff. But mostly I don't crave company because I realised most people suck, and there is a bit of misanthrope in me. Romantic relationships are overrated, I have a couple female friends but I am single by choice. Some days suck, I have my share of demons and trauma (who hasn't), but it's not as bad as it was years ago when I was surrounded by a lot of fake people, used to socialize more and was in a toxic relationship and a shitty job.

I was the opposite. Been an extrovert in shape my whole life, model etc. but now I’m 29 I just don’t enjoy going out and getting drunk so find myself with fewer friends as most of my long term friends were made through drinking. Trying to find people on my level now
Sounds like the perfect buddy for me ,but of course you're probably on the other side of the world.But I'm literally in the same boat I stay in shape my whole life but don't drink or smoke and I'm forced to whenever I go out because it's the norm I guess 😂

I do not really agree with you.
I went outside every day back in the day, but at an age i noticed that i don´t have an interest
in most of the people i met and many of them are morally no good humans.
I was playing video games alone aswell after that time and it was one of the best times of my life lol.
Now i got a girlfriend which i love very much but i still game, even tho i don´t get the same satisfaction out of it
because i got my girl and 2 cats and an apartment and work ofc.
Everyone is different. As a kid i had so many good friends but i also could play alone in my room for the whole day
without the need of social interactions.
What i want to say is: listen to yourself, get to know what you really want and then achieve it. Don´t lie or cope with
yourself- i see alot of ppl doing that.
I'm gonna download this as an audio to listen to it every day because I literally think All you have said now is all I needed to hear and all I will need to hear in the future till I reach my goals, For me this is the greatest motivation I've ever I could ever
It's not just guys it's girls as well. I am not an extrovert and I love love love video games. Love the Minecraft music in the background btw. I'm down to play on steam!
Yeah I didn't realize girls could also use my advice... That's awesome!
i used to live just like you did back then, i started to hang out more for the same reason too !! The first thing i did to escape from that situation, was going to the gym daily taking care of myself, my hair and my skin. Im slowly recovering my confidence back, i never been more happy
This is the realest sh*t bro, thank you.
You see, there are some people (as myself) who were forced to be homeschooled back in 2020. They had no choice if their parents forced them into the house and kept them from going out, I feel bad for them all who did suffer it or still are to this day. I had one friend left that still cared for me even after becoming homeschooled, but eventually they moved and completely ignored me. It really put a huge beating on my life, but I learnt a huge lesson over these 4 years, I even tried making online friends and it never worked out. Eventually I'm going to try getting out again and try to connect with others whether my parents hold me back or not. I think it's time to finally take a step and change my life completely. Thank you for this video, you're very convincing. 💖✨
I like staying at home, but its important to go out as well. Balance is important in life.
i can't go out cause i think everyone hookup but acting from outside being so pure.. i had jobs tbh but it really hurts when i see others having fun and i'm just alone all by myself
your smile holds so much sadness even your eyes are filled with sadness or regret i hope we will achieve it
100%%%
Bro this was so me man, but i force myself to go out and explore and its a great feeling but yes there's times i want to be alone but going out and explore will definitely open your eyes and realize there's so much opportunity out there to grow as a person.
This is the best "the treasure was the friends we made along the way" I have ever seen.

Bro you really too fast to reply, 🥶
Bro how did you get 37subscribers with no vedio*
i totally agree. im 16 years old and i just finished school and its only now after so many years of locking myself away from society that i realise i want to change and have more friends, but what is stopping me is bullying and stuff. back when i was 7 so in 2015 was the last time i had any proper friends. in my first 2 years of schools i was decently popular but i went to a different neighbourhood with all these different kids. and nobody accepted me because everyone already knew eachother so i was known as the "new kid" for so long and it kind of stuck, i never felt like i belonged even after so many years of being there. on my 9th birthday party i invited my entire year-group and 2 people showed up. im going into college in september and i have high hopes because i already met a few of the kids that are joining my college and they're sound people. but im gonna be 20 in 4 years and although that might seem like a lot just think that lockdown was 4 years ago, and that has flown by.
edit:
by "making friends" i dont mean going out and partying and destroying my kidneys and lungs because i drank or smoked too much, thats not a real friendship those people are only friends with you because you're addicted to the same thing that they're addicted to. a real friend is someone who you can trust. someone who will help you get out of a dark situation such as addiction, also someone who you can travel with i would honestly love to travel with a group of friends. go and see the world, but if other people want that too then they have to make the right choices and not surround theirself with the wrong people
i do stay at home alot, but not because i feel like social outcast, it's just there is nothing in my city to go for every 2 3 days after work. Most of my friend move out from the city like 90% of them and i stayed here cuz i got business to take care of, so i'm just confuse how to make new community that i actually enjoyed and yes i do go to the gym and workout got some gym friends and that;s about it, i don't feel like social outcast but i agree alot from this video, like i do feel like i need to find new stuffs, maybe i will sign up for martial art classes so i can have more new friends
I did nothing but play video games after high school all my 20s.. thanks to that I became very social compared to what I would have been if I never interacted with other players online. I also met my wife playing ps4. I have to admit I do get anxiety when I go out but at least I stayed out of trouble. Who knows what I would have done with my life if I went out with real life local friends that I didn't have. I lived in the DMV area near dc everyone here goes out. I'm glad I just went to work and stayed home.
I don't have time to ,just go out, I have work to do and the money doesn't grow on trees.
i love going out, but i only got like one close friend. not tryna complain bc one friend is better than no friends at all, but i feel like having a decent group of friends to go out with seems like so much fun. grateful for what i have tho no doubt. ❤
And then i went to a few of those "parties" that i keep getting invited to and found out that 90% of the people there are on their phones or go off in groups and gossip about the other group. The rest are looking around to get laid or getting high just to roam around like mental patients.
Then not to mention me minding my business and getting groped or sat on, then i have to explain im not tryna get laid, i dont drink, no drugs, and then i feel like im the weirdo so i just proceed to go home
Never felt so miserable in my life. The party lifestlye that 20yr olds describe is not fun at all
Back in 2019 i moved from Alberta all the way to PEI (provinces in Canada) and it was most likely one of the toughest things ive ever had to deal with. I struggled hard to make new friends and only a few ive made over the past 5 years. Recently I connected back with my friends from my home province being Alberta, and that has honestly done wonders for me. But every now and then I still dot back to what would life be like if I didn't move? After the move and when i first started my new school (in grade 8 in 2019, present day im done high school now) I would come back home and spend all my hours in my room mostly crying and silently cussing out my parents for moving us here. Obviously i dont curse them anymore but theres still a bit of a resentment, which I know is immature buts its hard to forgive them for what they changed, which was basically everything. I just felt like saying something idk, sorry.
Literally like me, and mostly of the time I feel miserable staring out of space for no reason.
I'm 16 never gone to a gym, alone because of my social anxiety and I've gained social anxiety from my learning and spelling disability dyslexia and OCD . And I used to spend my time gaming with online friends then by my myself until just recently I've distracted myself from being social by fulfilling my dream of becoming a woodworker / carpenter and I'm going to start the gym and I hope this will make me feel more confident and less social distanced.
i have one friend that i hang out a lot
and why the hell do I need bitches when I have a formidable friend that I go out with
who needs bitches you got your homie bro
bros first
26y , moved around a lot. Travelled the world , felt life changing, free. Returned years later to my home country.
Testing to build a life now, maintaining self discipline and important values. Hardest for me is to break out of the dry & boring small talk. society seems so boxed in, kills my vibe & motivation quite often...
Needed to hear this bro fr💯🙏🏽
My man 🎉

Real talk. Thanks, bro.
It’s not about going out it’s about coming out of your comfort zone cause it’s your worst enemy…
Appreciate, relatable, i also spent almost 14 years at home, and faced Many issues anxiety depression, but finally i realised and i try to keep a balance that makes me back to life,
Anything too much is not good.
Walking with friends is best thing, but u also need to spend time with family, after doing that you ll enjoy ur personal space
Tbh i want to stay home and i have enough chances to go out and i don’t want to go out and im socially fulfilled by my online friends
online friends are not friends.. they are rather... temporary companions that happen to walk in the same direction for a while. its all fake besides that. online friends are as much of a real friend, as luigi is your friend just because you play super mario or chatgpt is. you will realize that at some point at it will come sooner than later and than you will regret time wasted. real friends come to your house and hug you just because they can.
@@MaybeTiberius So? Not everyone likes going out, and we all like different things in life. How do you know that he'll regret anything? Maybe that's exactly how he wants to live. Also, there's no such thing as "wasting your time" because we all die in the end, and no matter what you do in life, it won't matter. Time you enjoyed is not a wasted time, and the things you think are a good use of time, are a waste of time to someone else.
@@GamingAndChill not talking to a guy called ''gamingandchill'' tbh. pointless to argue with an addict. argue with a crack addict that they should drink a smoothie instead and you ll get the same result xD ''oh man bro but i enjoy pumping heroin into my veins, it cant be a waste of time if i enjoy it right?'' yeah... you do you, you ll realize at some point eventually and for the rest: well you cant save everyone. some people are willing to learn and improve and the others, well just fck em

Easier said than done. I go out everyday and I ask people to whom I know to go out with me but none of them wants to go so I end up hanging out alone.
I’d work on myself if I didn’t look disgusting lol, I’ve also wanted girls but ever since at a young age they always looked at me with disgust, it’s really hard to stay motivated I even tried forcing myself going to the gym to a couple of times but it didn’t last long because of knowing how it wouldn’t fix the problem. Now I’m at a point where I just don’t care anymore, I just come home, lock myself in my room and don’t talk to anybody
Aint it crazy how dudes who aint exactly considered traditionally goodlookin can still get ladies? It aint about the face, it's about the state of mind. You what you think you is. If you think you a boss, you a boss. If you think you a scrub, you a scrub. You say you confident, you confident. You say you weak, you weak. Basic stuff. If you think you ugly, guess what? You gone manifest that ugliness, and people gone see it too. But if you think you fly, you gone manifest that attractiveness, and they gone see it too. Every single word you say got power. Use them to manifest your dreams to life, not your fears.
Brother it's truly unfair that some us are unattractive or even ugly, its really diffucult these days, just try your best man train for a long time till you get ripped, do skincare, maybe get your nose done if its too big, grow out your hair mayhe that'll look good on you? There's so much you can do
I don’t got a lot of friends. But I can go sit in a bar alone, a restaurant, I can go anywhere and do anything alone.. I’m pretty comfortable with that. I had to get out there and be comfortable with being alone. I stayed home or was working while my friends were partying. I think it’s pretty top tier to get out of that rut and go out, you don’t have to be with people to do things.
I’m turning 19 tomorrow, I need to step up. Thanks bro
i’m 21 i feel like it’s over lol
@@giespire Bro your 21, you're basically just starting, I think?
It's easy for me to say I guess.
I feel the same way bro, absolutely goated at the games I play, but at what cost .. it’s comforting in your safe space but everyone needs a breath of fresh air every now and then
..but what if I have some condition known as Autism? It's making things harder as if I am playing Dark souls IV in real life. Fortunately I started a job working at Tim Hortons (basically like dunkin donuts) and it's going pretty well. I feel a bit better than drowning myself in my room.
Real
If you have autism this is not four you, no at all because you are different. But we are social animals, and our brain is going to damage itself in search of having other people to talk to
This is the first time i feel like ive been through the same shit as someone else bc thats happening to me right now but luckly for me i forced myself out my comfort zone to talk to people and i have to admit it has made it easier to talk to people and do shit u normally wouldnt do and playing video games and staying at home eventually gets boring and u will crave a need to talk to someone or just have any social interaction with someone but coming out your comfort zone will have a big impact on your life as a man and if u want a girl or man u must go outside and interact with people and get to know them and as a man life isnt easy so u must work on yourself on your looks and your life dont wait for someone to talk to u because no one will u must put yourself out there and talk to people, u must do it now and dont keep waiting the more u wait the more time u waste that you will never get back.
Relatable, every single word. I am talking with someone but she is a single mom, and I am going to meet up with her. Women these days are just not it man. Dating in this year is what makes me not even wanna try. I started working out doing calisthenics 3 years ago, and I am strong and look decently good. It's a long distance relationship and I am going to meet her for the first time now in Friday, and yeah... life is never how you value yourself or plan it anymore. Time flies and you just gotta do and adapt. There is no other choice sadly. I could wait more but that's just sad when I've built this relation and bond I have with her and time is valueable. Being a stepdad, losing vcard and potentially becoming a dad all in one, while also being the first ever real genuine relation with a girl in my life, is a fucking huge step... but I hope God allows it and helps me. I am studying and have 1 more year, and you never know. It might be her, it might not... but you just gotta live life and not watch others live it and waste time being drained by video games and trying to put so high stakes on becoming a prodigy.
I tried to talk to girls before but I ruined it cuz I was weird and did some goofy shit that made her block me on insta. I just want to be better
brooo I know exactly what you mean that shit happened to me a hundred different times. We all needa be better
Maybe shes not for you?
One time when I was 10, I tried to speak to literal strangers, they rejected me, which developed my social anxiety. However, I do speak with people, had a lot of intimacy, and did stuff to remember where when I tell a story of mine to someone whom I expect them to have more stories than me, they just told me that more things happened in my life than theirs. Video games kept me sane during the roughest moments of my life and thanks to them, I am a good person. But at the same time, people have changed me to the point where I try to be the best version of myself. You all just need to know the balance when to stop playing and when to stop being comfortable with people, because most people I have met were temporary, including the girls I have dated/had intercourse.
