There was a storybook I read.
A rabbit was having a birthday party and invited his 3 friends
He assumed his friends had their own friends and told each one to invite 2 friends
He was expecting a total of 10 people including himself.
His 3 friends invited each other.
They still had a great time.

So basically, no matter how good you are at something, there's always someone better than you out there.
I mean what about the person that’s better than you? You could say there’s someone better than them but once you go through everyone in the world there will be someone who is the best, and everyone is worse than them. So it does matter how good you are at something
And this someone is usually Chinese
yes, because the chances of you being the best at anything are pretty low when we consider there are around eight billion people on earth

I feel like we are quick to apply the term “friend” to people who are really just friendly acquaintances. Take out acquaintances and the really “popular” individuals might be left with less real friends than those on the outskirts of the social network.
Yeah right. Also the one guy might call every one of these acquaintances friend, while the other guy with more actual friends might call the acquaintances acquaintances, therefore thinking he has less friends when they compare each other while it's just a matter of definition
Seems like most people label what really are acquaintances as "friend" now, the vernacular has changed.
friends? i have lots of friends! do i hang out with any of them? *hardly.*
acquaintances! i have lots of acquaintances! i have a few friends. like... 4. and i'm not really close to them, unfortunately. i'm working on it
Exactly. I would say I have 8 friends, 3 good friends (I would trust them to help me bury a body, Rich Hall definition), and probably at least 50 acquaintances I regularly interact with (at least once a fortnight).
If I expand any more I have hundreds of acquaintances. I could expand the friends to 20+ if I wanted to as well, but I like to keep it at the 8 that I would gladly go to the pub with almost anytime, and the 3 good friends I would drop anything to help them if they needed it.
Seems like this video was aimed towards younger people. Comparing follower counts in itself is a very young-person thing to do. The real meaning of "friend" and the phrase "I love you" has faded. People use these terms with complete strangers on the internet after having a fun chat for a few hours. It's lost its meaning entirely.
Basically it is very unlikely to be the most “popular” friend in your group of friends because you can have many friends but only one can be the most “popular”
Incorrect. People with less friends can be more liked than people who have lots of friends. That was not the point. The point is, unless you are Chad, your friends, on average, have more friends than you do. This is because if you are out making friends with people, who are you more likely to make friends with? The shut in who rarely talks to anyone or someone who is meeting lots of people? You are more likely to run into the second guy.
There can only be one?....

Being popular is a bit lonely in itself. I used to be friends with multiple friend groups and hung out with almost the entire course at uni and same in highschool but the depth and intimacy that comes with a smaller social life was always missing and I was constantly somewhat out of touch with very essential parts of myself. It was also quite hard to settle for a relationship due to the vast amount of options that were available so I would often remain a bit emotionally malnourished (wasn't aware of this until the pandemic hit me)
eh everyones different. Im friends with loads of people but I still have loads of fun. Naturally I still do small group stuff, but I find hanging out with as many people as possible a lot of fun
Ahh, yes...the _dating app effect_ getting more victims every day. Another reason to explore other planets and leave this doomed one.

Having over choice is always better then not having any choices. Someone who has "too many choices" can always just pick one and make it work. If you don't have any choices there's jack shit you can do. Just remember that
@@Adri9570 I never used dating apps.
The lack of deep connections thins out the factors that help in choosing a partner. Therefore, for people with no close friends, there are still no choices. The notion of having "too many choices" is not accurate, unless, of course, you are choosing based on shallow factors. Popular people can feel just as lonely as those with no friends.

For most of the year I only talked with like 3 people in uni (this is my first year) and I felt kinda bad in the sense that I wasn’t making many friends and a lot of other people seemed to be socializing way more. But this last week I somehow ended up socializing with a larger group of people who are all friends with each other, and they even invited me to one of their ‘little hangouts’ and tbh I hated it, i don’t feel comfortable with such large groups of people plus I feel like I have nothing in common with them. Sure they are nice but socializing with them literally drains me. I much rather just hang out with the 2/3 people I’ve been hanging out with for the past couple of months lol

@@fornex5615 Find at least one person in one class who seems like a good person and cares about the things your learning. Go up to them and ask to sit with them (and their group if there with others). If your not racist, sexist or start every sentence by bringing others down, then your gonna be able to get along with them and have people to talk to and do anything with. Just a few people you can message for help and go through life with will make an extreme difference for the better in most aspects. This is coming from someone who was in your situation when I started uni and now I have a few people that I respect a lot and they also respect me.
yea but it gets boring. I was the same for a while. So I started hanging out more with "connectors" that are the popular ones that everyone is friends with and they can invite me to stuff where I can meet 1-2 people that I actually would like to hang out with more often
The dating and gym examples kinda blew my mind. I always understood the narrow case of friends but had never realized how generalizable it obviously is. Given free choice to participate and a normal distribution of investment, it will always be true.

I grew up at public schools and my friends having more friends than me always challenged my self-esteem. However since I was in high school I already had been thinking “if I need to maintain so many friendships I will be so tired. It’s like working. How can they hang out with so many people every day?” It turned out I’m actually an introvert. Now I’m at my 30s and being able to be alone is actually a super power. I can manifest so many things while being alone. I don’t need to social at all. I just do it for my business or a certain purpose sometimes. I’m enjoying my life so much.
I want to ask you the question. Do you think If you start actively trying to be an extrovert and overcome your introvert personality. Do you think you’d go back to being an introvert? For myself the answer is no. I was an introvert, but overcame it and I’ll never go back. I could easily entertain myself and was never bored, but being together with others helps you grow as a person and really is more fun (in my opinion) than being alone. I have to say i do feel bored now sometimes. Witch is new for me.
@@ZuluIndelucht literally same
(Writing my emotions so didn't think much of grammar pardon if u feel hard to read and yhh extensively long sorry 😅😂)
I never liked parties family gatherings and till 10th grade my whole life went alone in home with too less or no frnds not going out after schl hrs for months but as i remember now i never felt lone
But in 12th grade i found some frnds and im from a country where most people get it hard to get 3 times meal let alone the internet so everyone around me was extrovert so i thought i should also transit myself like that (the society turns you into how they are finally after 15yrs of your life) BEST MEMORIES I MADE
But since i was introvert by start, i hadn't talent to make more frnds but just luckily got memorable frnds for short time now im in uni and my highschool frnds went other cities for their unis and ofc they're extrovert by start they're happy must've made new frnds and ME NOW ALWAYS GET THE FEEL OF LONELINESS HOWEVER THAT'S HOW I HAD BEEN SPENDING MY LIFE BY START BUT NEVER FELT THIS CONSTANT INTERNAL FEELING OF LOWNESS now i realise that the best temporary memories are poison for rest of my life i wish i become like before i.e. no problem in being like what im now as i was before in my life except that 1 yr 12th grade phase
In our city there aren't much good educational institutes so t
I get relieved when i meet them after living 1/2 months in other city back to home town we all come to meet our families for some days and pretty much enjoy eachothers company those 4/5 days those now being some of the days in which i don't feel low but the rest of month!
Socializing is a human need, it's backed up by psychology and research. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that being a lone for too long, actually affects your brain's health or something like that... it leads to deterioration of your cognitive abilities or something like that. You can enjoy yourself and enjoy being alone while steel needing social interaction, you just need to balance it.

@@ZuluIndelucht Idk, you might be an ambivert which is I think is a rare trait when your both introverted and extroverted rather than being one or the other 🤔 (plus you shouldn't say overcome like that cause that's implying being introverted is a bad thing when it's not)

Yeah
once, i was crying because my friends never had time for me and always hung out with their other friends, and outside i always see people have many friends. my dad came to me, and said, i don't have many friends, because i'm a person who can get along better with real friends. he told me the many friends of my friends are most likely to be fake, and my case is a good thing, because having less but real friends is better than having many but fake friends. (i'm sorry if my english is bad!)
That's wholesome
I think a mistake we have made as a society is that we call acquaintances "friends". My parents are very sociable people, I have learned from them that is more about giving back favours or just spending a good time than actual deep connections. You can only have a few of those. But shallow relationships can be very beneficial to you and the people you interact with (even if it may seem superficial and it may take some work). So, to my fellow introverts, just be nice to the people surrounding you, try to initiate conversation, don't worry about a deep connection (unless you want them to be one of the 1-3 actual friends you'll have) and remember that we are social creatures and that networking is CRUCIAL if you want too have an easier time in this world.
exactly, nothing wrong with shallow conections. A smile, a few words can be a lot better than nothing. Knowing someone who can repair a car or knows how to do taxes is fine too. People are addicted to outcomes - but we cant control them anyway. A smile to the cashier doesnt cost you anything and if its not returned so what? But if its returned it can give you a good start in the day - the both of you. Also doesnt mean you have to become best buddies/marry each other now.
This is exactly how I behave ! I only have two or three friends with who I actually talk about my private life (girls, future plans, how I feel about this or that...) but I can have a laugh the exact way with them than with like 15 or 20 dudes I know from highschool. The first important thing to remember is that I totally trust the first three and not the others. The second is that all these dudes with who I hangout everyday (except my close friends, precising it because I don't know if that's always the case) hangout with even more people than me and it feels like they also have more "close" friends than me, but that's not the case. They are mostly faking it. I don't know wich way to socialize is the healthier, so I just act what I feel is the best way, wich leads me to the first option.
If you ask me about how many friends I have I honestly won't think to include the shallow connections. I just consider them some people I like who are nice but wouldn't call that a friend
Pin worthy comment
You already had me at 1:12, absolutely love how the video is made!
that was you?!
Hell yeah!
Your channel is becoming gold. Please more like these videos, explaining life around us by well-understandable data story telling :)
My mom always told me that some people who seem like friends today can turn into foes tomorrow, so I'm selective when it comes to choosing my friends. For instance, there are those who may be interested in what you have to offer, but not all of them are genuinely your friends. She also says that I should avoid telling personal things because my "friends" could use that information against me later.
I would warn you against following her advice too closely, particularly the last part. I've had one or two friends that I ended up falling out with. It was still worth being friends with them, and they never used personal information against me. It's much better than being lonely.
@@isaacdalziel5772 Thank you. Yes, you're absolutely right. Sometimes, we learn better from our own mistakes than from other people's advice. I'll try to take her suggestions with a grain of salt; otherwise, it can be difficult to make good friends.
my mother told me the exact same but she also grew up in an area where you couldn't trust anybody outside your family. times have changed and my friendships are extremely rewarding because i have found friends with whom i can be extremely open with. some friends did turn out to be awful later and then it becomes a matter of deciding which information you feel comfortable with sharing at which level of intimacy.
It's really hard to tell the intentions of people. As a rule of thumb, if a person talks bad or in a way that you don't like about other people, expect that they would do the same with you
So true, ive been humilliated and embarassed by “friends” because i told them personal info.
jokes on you, i have no friends
I'm an introvert, so I'd rather spend time alone than with others. It's always good to hang out with friends, but you shouldn't let them influence your life more than yourself.
Hey Im too, but lately feeling very lonely, can we connect?
Hope y'all be friends 🤞
Another fantastic video, i spat my drink out when the popular kid bursts through the door with that music. Truly memeable data!
Fascinating topic! It's both comforting and intriguing to realize that this is a common perception among many of us. Great job breaking down this complex topic!
I know I’m not a super agreeable person and I refuse to mold myself to make other people comfortable. This is why I’ve never had a friend group, too many characters and personalities to accommodate to. And it’s why I’m selective with who I call a friend.
honestly the only thing that really matters is having a few good, close and real friends that have your back and will talk with you about anything
if you even have one of those you can count your blessings in life
this video also mistakes acquaintances for friends, which is fine for the sake of demonstrating the phenomenon being discussed
don't make that same mistake in real life tho

This has to be the best integration of an ad i've ever seen. Well done!
However, all your calculations (and the friendship paradox) is about taking the average degree (or number of friends).
It is quite intuitive to see how hubs (or people with many friends) would skew the average.
What would it look like if you looked at the median number of Twitter followers for those accounts you looked at? This would make sense since I don't care about the average number of friends my friends have, but rather, how many of my friends have more friends than me.
Would be curious about this too!
Leaving a comment here in case something is done with this. Interesting idea!
This was exactly my thoughts! I am curious as well.
Yeah I thought about that too
If you use the median you can really compare yourself to others and the final result would tell you if you really are worse socially than others. This video is just dumb and poor clickbait.
The fact that the door hits the locker at 1:06 is such perfection.
Plot twist: The reason the paradox was discovered in the first place was because all of the statisticians who researched it have no friends, so they made a phenomena to make themselves feel better.
I feel like this is very inmportant data in our society right now, especially people that struggle with the feeling of being lonely and maybe even are depressed because of it.
Gen Z in general has a lonelyness struggle. Great video, i definitly will be able to use this in future discussions!

I've got a lot of people who I would really like to consider as my friends but whenever I see them being a lot more friendly with some other people makes me feel left out. Seeing them joke around, just having a blast makes me feel really insecure and I would end up distancing myself from said "friend". In addition to that, I tend to care more about myself rather than other people because my whole life I've been a secluded and isolated kid so I have a hard time trying to form some deeper bonds with other people, which really sucks because I want to care more for other people and to be able to relate to them but I can't exactly do that by myself. I think I have some kind of a toxic trait as well, something like a overly possessive personality. Watching this video does make me feel a bit better about it but I don't think I'll be able to improve my situation
Same i never get invited anywhere by them.
You're not alone with in the world with these personality traits my frnd

Thank you a lot!
When you generalized and showed the better fifs player, gym guy, dating etc.
It widened my scoped. I had never fully consciously thought about my sampling by onky looking at my friends
I think part of it too is you may be more willing to call a popular person your friend where that popular person may not view you as a close friend.
You may be more popular than you think, but those people you know that have fewer friends than you, you are not willing to call a friend when they think that you are to them.
You only end up comparing yourself to people better than you. this already happens we don't follow people on social media who have fewer followers, less intelligent, and/ or less attractive than ourself. You create this illusion that everyone is better than you
This comment is more profound than the video, and I did find the video eye opening.

Last month I was Batman, last week I was Ryan Gosling, but today I am Napoleon (There's nothing we can do)
I have a good experience with this situation and for me, is quiet easy to explain. I have a childhood friend (25 years) and we studied at the same school, university and worked at the same company once. He made a lot of friends in these places and I don't. Why? He's handsome and rich. I'm a just standard guy. I realised that people are so open to listen and connect to him, while I always struggle to connect with people, despite the fact we have almost the same personality.
This is not a good explanation of the paradox.
A better insight would be to consider that you are friends with the rich handsome guy who you went to school, university and worked with as opposed to other people who you had similar connections with.
So yes you're freind may be more rich and handsome which may be why he has more friends, the paradox isn't about that. It's about the fact you are more likely to have less friends than your friends because we all tend to make friends with the same people.
what you go through is called the beauty premium, which is why more attractive people have more friends and benefits
This channel is a gem 💎
So, I might be considered "The popular one" in many of my friend groups. I have 15+ friends who I communicate and hang out with regularly. It's weird being on the other side of this, because I have had a lot of my friends refer to me as someone who makes friends easily (which is true) but I have some friends with even more friends than I. In particular one of my friend groups where are ALL that person with 15+ friends. We each have our own large friend groups that don't really intersect with each other. For a long time, I considered them "the popular ones" till people started pointing out that I was exactly the same. It's all about perspective.
Twitter isn't really a networking site though, most people only follow large accounts and that aren't expected to follow back
So cool to see the practicality with that community post you did!

As you grow, it will be hard to make new friends. For me, a friend is someone that I can trust. I have many "friends," but I can't trust them at all. If something bad happens to me, they won't be there to support.

Very cool video! Great job. Did anyone else notice that at 3:12 he titled Berlin as Hamburg? xD
Because I go for quality over quantity, that's why I keep my circle of friends small, definitely optional, definitely not because I'm an awful and hateful creature.
I dont know but my imaginary friends only have me i know that for sure 💀💀
It’s me, I’m that person. It’s not even about being “popular” or having 3x as many connections as other people. It’s about being random. I’m on the tangent of many social groups, having 1-2 friends in a lot of groups (we did an experiment in my 4th semester in college). People were shocked and jealous because I’m pretty much a weirdo.
Step 1: get friends
This is just making me question my life choices.
Excelente!! Outro vídeo de qualidade ímpar. O céu é o limite 💪😎
I laughed out loud when the popular guy walked into the room, that was fantastic! btw, at 3:07 that red dot isn't Hamburg but Berlin)
This is interesting because it refers to a certain culture I haven't come across. In my school so far, me and all of my friends have roughly the same amount of friends. We are an isolated group with a mutual dislike for the other friend groups. Some of us have various connections to specific people in those other friend groups, but there is little overlap.
I want to hug everyone in this comment section oh my God
As someone with no friends, I find it hard to believe they have more friends then me.
We need more of these Videos!
As the friend who has many friends, my advice on making friends is: leave your comfort zone. It's very uncomfortable to do that but it really changed my life! Get out there, get an extracurricular or an activity. Theater is a great way to get out of your comfort zone! Also, don't be scared to compliment people, most of the time they appreciate it and if they don't, move on to the next person. If you're alone, go to another person who is alone and ask if they mind some company.
This is how I went from someone shy with very few friends to the person who knows everyone and is not afraid to speak up! Highly recommend, 10/10
That cool guy reveal was damn funny
The cyberpunkish music when the popular guy appeared 🤣🤣

damn great job youtube recommending this to me when im depressing myself over the fact that a few of my friends are starting to dislike me and that i cant make new friends at all (im the loneliest person to live in finland)
Personally, I would say Instagram would be a better sample since most people don't use Twitter as their socialization platform.

Ok, 1 minute in and my guess would be, that this phenomena occurs because of how we go up on the ladder of the amount friends someone has. The higher we go, the less individuals will be on each level. There is a small amount of people that this paradox does not apply to, but the majority of people will experience this, since most of us is in the lower levels.
making superficial friends its easy, but making real friends its hard
Love these videos! So interesting and well done. You're going to be huge! Keep going bro!

Man I absolutely love your content and wish you'd post your videos more often but I do understand how difficult it is to make. The first video of you that I watched was the Tinder one...
I also loved your sponsor today and I'll absolutely take a loot ate it... maybe I won't be able to pay for a subscription because I'm from Brazil but I'll definitely look at it.
Keep the great work...
Obrigado!
bro I swear these videos are the best data visualisation thing that exists on the internet
Lesson here, don't be friends with popular people.
“A master of all is a master of none” applies to “friends” as well. Yeah sure you can stand for nothing and reduce yourself to be palatable to more people, but they’re not real friends. When push comes to shove none of them will be standing with you, they’ll step away and spectate or just ignore you.
I would argue the friendship paradox isn't as extreme. In the original example with the three groups of friends and one popular guy, the friendship paradox only applies to the outermost people with two friends. This is because their friends all have more friends than themself. However, the people who have three friends both have one friend who also has three friends (equal), one friend who has two friends (less) and one friend who has six friends (more), so on average they see an equal number of people with less friends than them compared to people with more. For personal connections, we shouldn't be using the mean number of friends per person in the friend group, but rather the median number of friends, as you having more or less than the median determines whether or not you feel like you have less or more friends than your friends. Thanks for reading!
Yep that was what I was thinking as well
You debunked the video
petition for memeable data to do a piece on the positive feedback loop of politics, viewers, and news anchors.
Interesting video but my question for this phenomenon:
Why does this seem to apply only in one way?
Means, if all my friends have more friends than me, and I am a friend of them, shouldn't I have more friends than them as well - thus paradox?
Not all your friends. Your average friend. Your friends probably have other friends than you, and it's more probable that these friends have more friends than the friend you're checking.
Also, when you choose the friend to check, it's more probable that he has less friends than your average friend, because just the few of your friends skew the statistics up.
And in reverse, if your friend wants to check his random friend, for example you, he'll probably choose someone who has less friends than his average friend.
To be alone is much better to become the best
I always find this paradox interesting every time I hear it lol
Knowing many people is not equal to calling them friends
1:43 That thing about each friend now having 3.7 friends is just senseless maths-it makes absolutely no sense in practice. We're talking about people here. You can't have '0.7' of a person.
The answer to the question "Do your friends have more friends than you?" can only ultimately be 'Yes' or 'No'. So on a case-by-case basis, it's actually only those on the far edges, with the fewest friends, whom you could actually say have less friends than their friends. For everyone else, the answer is 'No'.
“hey bro how many friends do you have?”
“oh, i have 3.7 friends”
“wait, whose the 0.7?”
bros basement: 💀🦴
I love how the red guy's theme goes on for the whole video
I simply just have super low tolerance for dumb people.
Smart approach. Develop yourself more! eg. 4K basic skills, Integral spyral dynamics.
REALLL
I’ve forgotten what it’s like to have a friend. It’s been four years since highschool ended.
Congrats for such a video!🎉Full of creativity, and I believe it explains the concept really well. Looking forward for more content!!!!😊
