Daniel figuring out how human relationships work for 14 minutes
what a dismissive comment. shut up
I really must say that these are the best Daniel videos. Time and time again I come back to the ones where he's talking at his home in UK about experiences in Japan
i had a similar experience trying to do meetups in my foreign country. thank you daniel for recording and preserving our awkward autism for future generations to learn from.
I went there (other in takadanobaba) lol with the same conclusion, I felt so uncomfortable, too overwhelming for introverts
what a shockingly wholesome video
For you to talk about your problems, and to reflect on them, makes you a incredibly strong person! You are a very wise and mature guy! Keep your chin up, and smile!
until the day of retribution
yasminwinwinkxD That just means you have a shit ton of problems :|
so what.
Re3iRtH No it doesnt lmao.
Yep!
i also love going to the movie theater alone. i just feel way more connected to the movie that way
SOCIAL ANXIETY is one of the worst Mental Illnes.
Keenangoal its not a personality trait, its an anxiety disorder that has a crossover of cognitive and physical symptoms and depending on the severity can cause damage to the person with the anxiety disorder’s life. to have social anxiety you must be diagnosed by a professional
Bruh
Really nigga
omg the exact same thing happened to me except in Shibuya. Didn't know where the event was so I just circled around the bar and then eventually left due to my social anxiety.
Hi
Hi
@@HidingInMyRoom1989 hey
@@HidingInMyRoom1989 Hi 1 year later to your 4 year later comment from a 5 year-ago video :)
I've downloaded the application the other day and found some groups that seemed pretty interesting but never really have contacted a host or attended any of them. I'm too introverted to "meet up" with some strangers through that kind of app I guess. At least you've given it a try and were brave enough to actually get yourself out there so I think you don't have to feel bad about the experience at all.
I also enjoy going to karaoke by myself when I'm stressed out :) Going alone, I don't have to care what others would think about my singing or have to wait for my turn. Karaoke is one of the perks of living in an asian country lol Wanna see you sing my chemical romance one day ;D
Thank you for sharing your story! I’ve been to three meet up groups. The first group was okay semi nice people but no friendships developed. Second one only the host showed up and he was late. The third group I ended up leaving the group because there was a lack of consideration for others. I’m so tired of people being self absorbed.
I've had similar experiences on meetup. I went to one in person meetup and people were nice but older and in a different life stage so it was harder to relate. I found some meetups that meet on zoom but every time there'd always be some dominant personalities that took over the group. One host had a meltdown and starting being hostile to people. I think I'll try out some other non-meetup groups but I feel more at peace in my own company than with difficult and domineering people.
@@katec9893 I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience either. Since my last post I have been to a few more groups met one person but after our second hang out we went our separate ways. She wasn’t the person she represented herself to be. I met her in a hiking group and she said she loved the outdoors but she wasn’t able to hike. She was more of a walk in the park person. And after our hikes she always wanted to be indoors. I’ve also noticed a lot of the meet up groups in person don’t meet on regular schedule. The ones that do are private and want personal information and I’m not going to share info with someone I don’t know just to meet up. It’s definitely not easy meeting new people now days! But I’m keeping my options open, you never know I just might find the right group of likeminded people or make a new friend. Best of luck to you!
I agree that singing karaoke in a large group is pretty boring and annoying. Spot on when you described how long you have to wait your turn, and how everyone else isn't even paying attention, just chatting about which song THEY want to sing.😡 That being said, I dislike going to karaoke by myself since there's no one to impress or laugh when I sing badly. Also, you can't do duets.🤔 I prefer going in a group of no larger than 4 people.
Sidenote: I hated karaoke before I went to Japan and it took months for my friends to convince me to join them. Now, I love singing karaoke...but not in the US, bc it always takes place in a bar and you're surrounded by strangers. 😔

I know what game of thrones is...can we be friends?
been there, done that, people are overrated, dogs and cats are my friends...
Yeah, I had the same experience - except I was dragged in by one of the organisers who recognised my profile picture. Bit awkward. HUB group pubs aren't great :/
Honestly you need to look at your own dull personality. The word "incel" comes to mind. No one is there to approach you and make you feel happy. It's up to you to approach others.
why doesn’t he do these videos anymore? they make him more likeable
i enjoy your vids and you remind me of myself. keep posting with us at hapas
Why I’m I watching this at 1:30 am 😂. Interesting thoughts tho
Omg haha you’re so random haha can you imagine you’re so weird omg!
OMG me too is 1:33am right know hahaha and you are not weird at all
Im pretty extroverted. I went to a meet up in Japan and can see a like 90% guys and 10% girls. Each girl had a group around her. Pretty weird meet up
I hate loud noises places too I love pubs but I don't understand the noise and live bands and crouds..- it's so strange that people love that kind of thing..! this is very relatable .
yeah meet up isn't as good as it is advertised
This was lovely thank you
Damn you lived 30mins away from me when I used to live in Tokyo
Did you live in Sumida?
be yourself
I understand that each one of us has his own personality , and the interests of people are different from each other, it is natural that you did not like that place because I guess maybe you have a quiet and shy personality cause I don’t really like to speak to a big group of people too so sometimes i feel like I’m a shy person and i hate that thing in me and I can see that your personality is very sophisticated and beautiful , but you have to have greater self confidence and try some times to go out of your comfort zone even if it is a bit strange and annoying ... I felt like I wanted to tell you these things and I apologize if you bothered you with anything from my words
Last time I checked, you had to pay to be able to see MeetUps near or even contacting someone... Fucked up stuff...
So chill.
I watched a couple seasons of game of thrones but not my type may be for kids only.
Good 4 u nice young man!
2:56- 3:07
What do you think Daniel gave back to him?
Help him learn English
“I felt like it was calling me”
That’s freedom my dude. Sweet sweet freedom.
Hi little brother, its big sis over in the US. Glad the freakshow visit in Germaby was over but bummed you didn't get to eat authentic German food! (Or did you?) We just saw Dead Pool 2, and although well done blahblah, all the characters except the "lucky chic", and "indian dude" made me completely barf. Sorry. I'm an easy yacker due to the Lupus. Everyone was like, super gross for some reason. Ok if you watch it, no spoiler akert here. Take Care!!
I have meetup tomorrow wish me luck
Great video keep up the good work thanks 👌

@@HidingInMyRoom1989 Omg hi!! Im still around sorry I didnt respond earlier ^^;
Glad to see you’re doing well :)
@@HidingInMyRoom1989 I hope you're doing well too ^^
That voice 😻
Isn't he the guy who gave you a blo job?
I love it and hate it at the same time. Usually, people who use meet-up too often are little bit twisted, so that's why they have to pay money to meet people. If you pay money, people. will not go away even how abnormal you are, but people will go away from you if it's a non-paying social environment (ex. school, company or party). Normally, I don't like people who always be there in the same meet-up event. They don't have life outside meet-up. They come on every weekend and some people come everyday. When do they work and what their families are thinking about them? People who m I meet and never will be seen again in meet-up events are the nicest people in that event. Frequents in meet-up have a lot of problems and I don't want to befriend with them.
This is all lowkey facts
Wow, never thought about that. Thx.
@@none_the_less🈓Depend on the location, but people who appear once or twice a year tend to be more normal and frequents are often weirdo or have some personality problems is generally true though. Financial, Accounting or professional type of meetups draw more serious and well-mannered people.
@@munetoshiyamasaki7536 Yeah, I think you are on point.
Where I live there is a meetup group for digital nomads that organises non-business meetups at least 3 days a week, and I thought that there might be people who attend those regularly.

Talking too soft and not looking at the camera.
I actually find it comforting. A lot of youtubers almost scream into a camera for no reason
Bahahahaha, Yusuke's party, haha. Dude's been holding these for years. The first time he organized it, he contacted my ad on Japan Guide when I was trying to organize a group to go hiking. I was like why not. Girls who came were cute and an abundance of them. But now I heard it's mainly a sausage fest.
+Dennis Chen i saw a load of guys speaking in english at the bar, turned around and walked out haha
Yea, you're not missing much haha
I tried **a** (or to) meetup
+KichiNotCichiits an app called meetup :)
First
Thank you Daniel i took my nap during this video.
It begins interesting but after the meet up you kept up talking and talking i think 14 mins are just too long for the IDEA you wanted to speak of in this extremely boring video.
You are very aware and caring and read even years after the video. So that I cried.
You give safety in a hearttouching way.
