I Have No Friends and Family and How I See It As A Positive Thing

- So these days many people have no friends and view it as a bad thing. This can lead to more negative action. How bout we see this as a more positive thing and use it as an opportunity to improve our lives.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porass. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagramm?
Yes he is dr.porass.
People are so toxic these days. You have to protect your peace
Wise words my friend 😁
This! 👏
And your soul
Exactly!!! You find disappointment.

The competition and jealousy in so called friendships is alarming....
This!!!!
As a woman, this was my experience of every friendship I had with other women. Then at about age 40, I decided no more female friends. It's much better for me this way.
Truth
@@kyliemoronoguesame, but family can be worse in my experience
Even when you are not trying you are made to feel like you can’t be content with what you have. Not all are trying to be millionaires.
Humans are so afraid to the point that friendship has become a threat.
🗣🗣🗣😔🙏🏾
That's what trauma does to your brain...You think everyone hurts you because someone hurts you...When someone traumatized you,you also expect the world to traumatize you.When someone abandons you,you also expect the world to abandon you.When someone bullies you,you also expect the world to bully you.When someone abuses you,you also expect the world to abuse you.That's how defense mechanism does to your brain
Let no man fear the things in life if they have Christ.
"No weapon formed against me shall prosper. "
I used to live a happy life being alone...when i transferred to a new apartment, i made friends who eventually backstabbed me and ruined my peaceful life. Most people are toxic...to stay happy you really have to choose the people you associate with... good people are so rare.
Extremely The Truth .
I turned 36 today and I'm celebrating it alone.
🥧🌷🌹It´s just a day like another one, but anyway,...happy birthday🌻🌻
Happy belated birthday 🥳
Happy Birthday to you!🥳
Happy birthday🎉🎉🎉
@@santalobasantaloba896No. It is called a birth day. Not just a day. You should celebrate if you feel like it.
The most happiest moments in my life were when I was alone. It's better to be alone and at peace instead of having back stabbing friends or family members.
Eventually, you'll get to the point that you see through back stabbers before they get too close and enjoy making them 'beg' for time which you never give them. i actually get more pleasure walking away from women than what i ever got sleeping with them. The best response i ever got was, "BUT I'M A GOOD WOMAN!" i replied, "i'll be the judge of that..." (as i walked away)
BTW, consider married men to be your enemy...they have lot's of bosses to answer to and will use female tactics against a single man. They are often 'communist' in that they believe they should do less and get more just because they are a "family man"
Yes but even better if you have someone who can actually be accurately defined as a friend.
I agree with you 💯
@@thegoldentree6913Definitely true! I don’t know what I would do without my gf she’s legit my best friend. But bad friends or a bad gf definitely make you less happy.
Agree with you 100% and that is where I am ...In peace and harmony.
Less family, less friends, less drama, less headache. You GAIN peace of mind 👍
@Minnie--ru2ew You are so right. I blocked my family from contacting me. Now with less family I have less drama, fewer headaches and peace of mind. And I am more successful and happier.
*fewer
@@tpmedia3784 thank you! lol!
Precisely!! 🔥🖖
Absolutelyy correct❤🎉
We are born alone and we will die alone. Being your own best friend is probably a good idea. I have a big family and a few friends but nothing beats my own company. Many of the things I enjoy doing I can do solo such as reading, meditating, painting, and playing music. I never feel alone when I'm by myself but I have felt alone around others. It's important for me to preserve my peace.
Being touched and sleep with someone is the best feeling and I cannot experience it because of loneliness. Do you have bf? It is easy to write things like this when youre not really alone.
I needed that 🎉💯
I hate when people say that. Youre not born alone you literally are surrounded by people from the moment you are born.
Just because you're hanging out by yourself does not mean youre alone.
Being alone is something most humans are really bad at. Were highly social and dependent upon one another for survival.
@@MegaAbgtI don't have a boyfriend. I choose to stay single because I love to invest in myself. Being alone is not for everyone but for me personally I can truly say that's when I'm the happiest. Although I'm alone I actually don't feel lonely.
@@skrrskrr99 Well being alone is not for everyone. Some people actually enjoy it and others don't. We are social creatures by nature. However, some individuals do enjoy being alone. No one will ever know me as deep and personally as I know myself. Learning about my own interests and investing in myself is important to me. Like I said though it's not for everyone.
A wise man once said “It is better to be alone than in bad company”.
“Better to travel alone than in the company of fools “
Exactly, my circle is small, and I will keep it that way until death. The majority of people are not for your success.
Well said!
Or ANY company at that. Being ALONE just because is more peaceful than anything in this world. Doesn’t have to be a reason to just be alone
Amen to that! 👍🏾
No family no friends no headache no problems no pain no stupidity no failures
thats not what family and friends is about bro
@@thegoldentree6913 im not bro not everyone here is male
@@quantaVastitude2021 have you been living under a cave sis? bro has another meaning other than the male sibling. bro is like saying "my friend".
And NO DEBT
@@DamnedExistence I have no debt
Some of the stupidest choices I have ever made were made because society "told" me that if I didn't I wasn't "normal". Got married for this reason and it was a horrible experience. I really enjoy being by myself and I feel that is my natural state of being for the most part.
I'm with you on that Jen :)
SOLITUDE is priceless! No friends is better than a bunch of fake nice individuals, moochers, BS, backstabbers, traitors, etc. SO PEACEFUL and HAPPY to be ALONE!
A guy I've known for decades since age 7, is like this. He calls everybody "buddy". "Hey buddy this hey buddy that" but he never comes to visit when invited, never initiates calls to talk, never helps with things that you occasionally need 2 people to do. He's totally fake and self-centered. This is probably most people today.
@@user-jl8yy5ir7s Just about everyone around me is the exact same like you mentioned. Also, last minute cancellation seems normal - the same person would cancel 3X consecutively. So, having learned the hard way, these days I am so much happier enjoying MY SOLITUDE - so happy and peaceful - SOLITUDE is priceless!
😂😂😂
So true, these days many ppl are only users and just like parasites, they only nice to u when they need u, I helped some ppl that I had called “friends” but they ended up betraying me and betraying my kindness. Hopefully Karma would kick their as5 soon!
TOTALLY AGREED. Being alone is so much better than being fooled by fake friends. After several experiences of fake friends "inviting" me to lunch but on the day of the lunch, they had "forgotten" about it, and a bunch of fake friends who always "left their wallet at home" after they had eaten the food at the restaurant, and asked me "can you pay for me first and I will pay you back" but they never paid me back, I finally realized the fake friends had scammed me for a free lunch - I AM NOW FRIEND-FREE.
In my experience, knowing less folk = less trouble
💯
😂😂
Sad but true
Straight up! This is why I don’t really hang with people
!
Someone said solitude can become addictive. I think it is true. Being alone is much less complicated than having people around.
that's interesting. i think that's true. ultimately it's not really very healthy but it's easier on many ways.
Solitude brings depression and unhappiness. Lots of loneliness.
@@RaquelJoYT unless it’s for a very long time
@@RaquelJoYT No. Loneliness brings depression and unhappiness. Solitude brings peace. The two are extremely different.
I'm a loner, too. I think that it doesn't mean there is something wrong with you. You may not even have poor social skills. It just means you don't enjoy people all that much. You may not enjoy socializing and seeking out people. If you are introverted, you should just accept yourself for the way you are. Be happy in your own space !
Thank you for saying that. That's awesome
@@billybobscat6233 Yes, completely agree!
Indeed, you're right. When I was young, however, I was surrounded by people who were convinced that being an introvert was wrong and akin to some kind of illness. I didn't enjoy people all that much then. Extroverts were valued more and they still are to some extent
@AnObservantTraveller74 High school was rough for those reasons. Some people thought something was wrong with me because I wasn't as social as them. I knew people who thought I needed to be fixed. Some even believed I thought I was too good for them. None of that was true. However I drew in people who did understand me and accepted me for who I was. Anything outside of some people's views of "normal" is unacceptable to them. It takes strength to be who you are despite others' criticisms.
Cutting out a toxic friend group that has been plaguing my life for years was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Same for me. A hug from Brasil
Congratulations 🎉
Well done on your rebirth.
I have no friends and no family. Literally. My birthday and all holidays pass by like normal days.
I have a few friends now because I volunteer and have lots of cheapy interests. I have social anxiety too but I have friends who have similar values and interests. It is a bit easier for me as we have things in common. Most evenings during the week I am at home, but I like being at home in the quiet.
❤❤❤ You are loved.
Same here. Holidays and my birthdays always makes me a bit sad knowing that "dayum, this is my reality," while all my cousins have their own families spending holidays together while I'm the idiot at work wasting my life. It makes me feel at times that I'm forced to be alone and that this is my destiny.
😢
@@boratsagdiyev522
I’m sorry 😢
I grew up with lots of friends, only to realize later in life that those friendships were because I was so messed up and was a people pleaser. It wasn't till those relationships were tested - including familial - that I realized how shallow and fake they were; now at 60 I'm left with one sibling and 2 friends. Finally at peace
Gosh ..same here
I'm so proud of myself to have been able to realize that 12 years ago at 24 years old
The last few yrs the so called friends that I’ve known for more than a decade turned out to be traitors, idk what happened; perhaps ppl change or perhaps their true color is finally showing! Took my kindness for granted and betrayed my loyalty. I believe Karma will catch up with them tho.
Ditto.

Robin Williams killed himself so... I think everyone needs freiends, to get a friend you need to be a friend. Not everyone will click but your friend is out there. Keep looking everyone.....
I think its sad we've become conditioned to be alone. That's the direction of society. Remote working, zoom, gaming, FaceTime, Amazon. All designed to keep people apart. Im a 60 year old woman and I don't recognize the world anymore. I feel sorry for the younger generation.
I'm 62, I love my family/being with them, don't have any friends, but i'm busy with my grand kids, I do like my a lone time, but if I didnt have any family, I'm sure I would need a friend or two, yes, this younger generation is totally different!
You are so lucky to be 60 yrs old. Alot of the younger generations wish so badly to be your age just to get away from this negative life and hopefully closer to the next one where we can finally find true peace and rest.
Friends come and go. They will backstab you, borrow money, and never pay back, they get mad when you ask to get paid back, like what???? I thought we were friends?? theres no such thing as a friend anymore. My " best friend " borrowed tons of money during his divorce and bankruptcy. When he was doing well again. Even bought himself a pickup truck, big off road tires, a Harley motorcycle, furniture his new home. I asked when he can repay the thousands I let him borrow. He got reeeeaaally mad. Like u have the nerve to ask your friend for money???? What an ungrateful person. I guess he learned how to steal, manipulate, backstab people working as a Corrections Officer in New York. Right Michael H.
There has never been such a thing, only smoke and mirrors.

Musashi Miyamoto The Way of Walking Alone
What does this means?
43 single and single. No family no friends. What keep me alive is a good job and knowing myself and loving God and my neighbors. I think that's enough.
I took a step back from friends in my 20's and never bothered with them again. Then I started to find out the truth about the character assassination they used to do on each other including me.
One person who I thought was my best friend in my early 20's and was in college and working part time. I always bought lunch and helped out because I was working full time. He turned round to me one day and declared "Oh I'm buying a house."
"How an earth can you buy a house?" I asked
"Oh I managed to save up £40K for the deposit."
Yeah he had been giving everyone the pity story and living of us and stashing his cash for a few years. Once he got the house he started lording it over everyone.
I just walked away from that friendship!!
No family and hardly any friends and very happy.
Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning and being able to do whatever you fancy without anyone criticising, demanding or giving you a guilt trip. Also another big deal is it's my money, my house and I will do whatever i please.
I’m not alone I have a small family and a couple friends. But I am the most alone I have been in life. I was reading my study Bible just yesterday and it said alone and lonely are not the same! Amen
I purposely removed everyone from my life. I feel so much better. No drama at all. I work from home I don't leave the house. I have everything delivered. I'm not a shut in I just love being alone. I've been like this since around 2010.
I don’t blame you tbh. I stopped hanging out like that around 2020 and I have gained so much peace because of it
I work from home too and get everything I need delivered! I really don’t leave the house much either…
I got my cat, comfy home, good food and I go outside to get fresh air and take walks in town when it’s nice. 👍 most people just drain me. I love being alone ❤
@Pepperthecat11 I 100% know what you mean. I was never happy before. One day I realized you really have to be happy with yourself. Another person isn't going to make you happy.
I thought I had some kind of depression but all it was is people are exhausting. I don't get mad or anything ever. I'm glad your doing well to. There's nothing wrong with being alone.
@@jackinmyhoggoff807 same! I thought there was something wrong with me. I used to go out partying a lot and had a ton of “friends” in my 20s.

I made a very conscious choice to overnight delete social media, acquaintances, fake friends, and family. My soul felt empty with these people and an app knowing things about my personal life that I put out there, trying to gain some type of fake acceptance, was played out. I disappeared overnight and I have so much peace in my life now. My business grew, I took the time to cook better and learn a new language, and I have a few chosen quality people around me who had the same goals. There's no need for this abundance of social activity to lead a healthy and happy life, this is just another thing society tells us. I find solace in being hard to find, I have no desire to be like everyone else.
Im not alone.. i walk and talk with Jesus christ daily❤❤
Bro....i'm 45. My only true friend is my wife. As for family, they are too much work and a waste of time.

sorry you lost your parents so young. congrats on getting your Masters degree. That's a huge accomplishment. I hope you can find a loving special person one day but I think you're wise to focus on your own life. Just don't give up hope for connection. That's what we were made for. Take care. W
@@wordswordswords8203 Wow, thank you for this reply. I'll never give up on human connectivity, nor am I seeking it.

I grew up in an alcoholic family. The town I grew up in everybody drank. I drank to fit in. For a while I did fit in, but when I branched off to get healthy and get my finances in order, people don’t like that. They feel like we are arrogant when we want to make these positive changes and have to leave them behind. I made the choice to drink but it is so bad for you. I would never drink again. I don’t like the way it makes me feel. I just want to be peaceful, happy and healthy and sleep well and that’s enough for me. The Bible is real. The Cain and Abel scenario is real, so is the Joseph and his brother story. My point is, family and friends are usually the first to betray you and that has been my experience.
Amen
I am 75 years old, I am always alone wherever I am ,I am the happier person.People who loved to have friends ,are the one with no confidents.
I once had "friends." But they only came to me when they fuck their lives up or need money. Once they get what they want, I'm back to being invisible. It's better to be alone than being a means to an end for everybody.
There’s definelty advantages of being alone, there’s a lot of drama associated with most relationships
True, but let's face it, we all want friends and family that we like. Life is much more fulfilling that way if we can have it. Humans are not ment to be alone for long periods of time.
@@boratsagdiyev522Introverts *cough*cough*. 😗
Yep I have no family or friends. And you know why? Because my family abused me and set up in life to be abused by others. I cut them all off and everytime I attempt to make friends, they are either toxic or fake. I love hard and I’m authentic and can’t stand fake, indirect, and inauthentic people so I avoid now instead of allowing people to take me granted.
I was in a relationship with a man that was a narcissist that abused me for nearly 6yrs I recently left him a month ago. I mean isolated me, refused to do anything with me, treated me like I didn’t exist in the home. It’s a horrible and midway to be treated. I’m happy I’m gone.
I’m happy alone and I’m content being by myself. Some people are just meant to be by themselves. No one to abuse me. No one to make me feel less than. I don’t age time for people like this.
The matrix is slowly collasping from the "survivors" point of view.. Pity parties are old.. Generations need to catch up on a galactic interstellar level. I wish everyone luck on their spiritual soul journey. May the peace find you all one day on earth. Blessings. ❤
i love having zero people to be accountable for
Me too!! It’s the best!
The only time I feel really painfully alone is when I travel. When I am at the airport and know no one cares. No one waits. No one messages me in general. I have no emergency contact to leave at work. Or no one to give my second apartment key to. That is why financial stress makes me sick and miserable. I have only myself to rely on. It was always like that and it will be always like that. Even my own parents never cared for me, they even were jealous of everything I had, even of me smiling. I learned how to whole heartedly laugh when I had my own apartment and was safe... Without being afraid of rage out of the blue from people I should be able to trust. Most people out there just don't develop their emotional intelligence and refuse to grow mentally. Not my problem anymore. I'm out and walk my own lonely but peaceful path.
I am a hardcore lone wolf, the only time I have a problem with being on my own is when I'm sick and there is no one to care for you
I understand! Same Here!! 😢

What a refreshing video to watch. I am an older person and all my life I was told to make friends.
You are told there is something wrong with you if you have no friends. Even before social media, TV made you a failure if you weren't the cool person. I have learned to enjoy my own company and enjoy the silent times. Social media is not reality. You are a smart man. Most people only have a few good friends in their lives. As for family, I have none. Sometimes it is the luck of the draw. But I am okay.
Your video only reaffirmed what I knew all this time. Being true to yourself is the best reward. Having tons of friends, social media, distract one from their purpose in life. Thank you for a great video. I hope others draw inspiration as I have. 🎉

This also made me consider the fact that having friends and having acquaintances are two different things. If you’re following your interests, you can at least find like-minded people to can have good conversations with. That kind of fulfills your social needs without having to have “friends”.
I'm 38 and I always had friends around me.. from good to toxic .. I finally realized that only I can make myself happy.. I've been friendless for 5 years now.. I got into hobbies and goals and a peace of mind
I used to get pushed away by people since I was very little. I began to accept the thought that I was never going to fit in society's activities. I learned that I enjoy creating art. Photography became another joy for me. I learned how to compose music. I wrote a few books. Completed me educational goals. I 'm still taking college courses. I stopped drinking in 1996. I learned that being alone, and pushed away wasn't so bad. I knew someone that didn't want to associate with me, because I didn't have a high school diploma. I got my high school diploma then one day I saw them on the street. I walked by them like I didn't know them. They never recognized me, because I had changed. I looked really good. Better than when we last spoke. I just kept walking by. I felt happy, and didn't need them as a friend. I became successful by myself without the need to be around others. It wasn't my fault. I was pushed away. I built my own world. I'm happy.
You are ENOUGH. 👍

Im one of those people with no friends and no reliable immediate family but the people around me are toxic. Makes me appreciate my alone time more.
Ambition usually separates friends. High-Achievers and low-achievers usually don't mix well. The low-achiever will make snide remarks based on jealousy, thinking foolishly that you aren't aware of it. They're fun to play with.
I realized that I prefer my own company. Friends are huge waste of time and money. In the past I was always investing much much more human energy and resources in friendships which were one sided. I could also say the same when it came to dating and romance. I’ve given up on both and I feel fine. I guess I m not cool enough good looking enough but I’m ok with that and I m finally gonna take time to know me and learn to like myself because at the end of the day that’s the only true friend who will have my back.
Sounds like a massive cope. Socializing with friends is pretty essential to the human experience.
Relationships and friendships are always one-sided and not reciprocated by individuals. It seems that one person contributes more or less than the other person. It's all a scam and sets one up to be exploited and abused
At the end of the day, you're all you have and no one else

Great video, i am 52 and an orphan, my insight is that it all worked out. I have a beautiful network and memories. Hang in there everyone. ❤
At the end of the day, The Most High Yah is your only true friend 🙏🏾 💚 🙏🏾
Jesus is Lord.
Ask Jesus To Save You 🙏
Most people will approach you to take from you.
exactly
This is true but not everyone.
My experience as well. 65 yrs old now, zero friends is just fine.😊
@@missdesireindependance5194 My statement says "Most".
The most important friend you need is yourself. After that you need some friends and some family.
No the most important friend and only friend you need or I need is Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came to earth as a human and died on the cross to pay a debt we cannot pay so we no longer HAVE to be separated from God! Accepting that free gift (not cheap, but freely given) and trust in Him, read the Bible to learn what pleases Him, what He hates! Time is almost up. Accept Him now before He comes to take His bride home for the wedding. After that the worst times EVER on the earth and to trust in Him then WILL cost your life. The anti Christ, a human indwelt by Satan will seek out believers and kill them. So choose Him now. The door is closing soon. I am not talking about religion, God wants relationship with you! Friendship, not enemies of God.

I'm 63 and enjoy being by myself, always have. I have what I call "situational friends" or acquaintances, people I interact with at work or socially on a superficial basis. I also have two siblings though they live in other parts of the country so we rarely see each other. But I don't share much with either of these groups. If you meet people and enjoy their company, that's great but it's not necessary for a happy, satisfying life. You can lead a productive and full life alone.
As a 65-year-old man I have no friends. Nobody that I’m really close to. Of course I have distant acquaintances and family that live in other states towns, etc. that I occasionally talk to. But other than that I spend most of my time working and or alone. recently, I adopted a rescue dog, and I know that when she looks into my eyes, she loves me with her entire heart and soul. There is nothing more that I need.
People area drain, and a waste of time!
Amen to that. I relate. I would say however, Ive ventured into some groups, where the bond revolves around a mutual interest, and the arms length interactions are pleasant.
I LOVE not having close ties with family. And I have dumped all my friends. I have no regrets. Best decision I have ever made.
I feel blessed when i am alone. No one to bother, no one to disturb.
I got friend in Jesus
Where ever i go he goes
Who else do i need.
Isolation is addicting. Your name becomes less involved in confusion and drama. I became much happier when I stopped communicating with people. Most of my stress came from having friends and communicating to regularly with family.
There are good honest people out there I promise. As a human being we are not meant to be alone. We are social beings of course with the right social influences. But I understand what you are saying Ms. and best of luck to you.
4:16 you're right, it's better to be alone than have friends who have bad habits like alcoholism and drug abuse.
its not really friendship though. i would never consider anyone, who has such bad habits that inflict negativity on me, a friend. Same goes for family.
Everyone has bad habits, its not a reason to cut someone off unless its to the point to where they are actively encouraging you to partake in something you know you shouldn't.

It’s simple math and science. You have to be insane to continue on with your abusers
I am turning 50 years old and these word really touched me. I have been very happy all my life and felt joy being alone. Yes I’m married and have acquaintances but I don’t have a bestie, bro, or BFF type. My wife is concerned I don’t socialize with others the way she does. I don’t even talk to my mother, father or sister much and it mutual because we are there for each other if needed. People need to realize that some humans just function better alone.
Thank you for your honest video. You will not follow the herd just to have company. You will follow interests and pursuits that will help you grow as a person and this will bring you into the company of people also on a self-improvement path and you will make friends. I can count friends and family on the fingers of my left hand and I waited many years for the right people to come into my life. I don’t have many but they are loyal.
You are a very strong person and you are realising that it’s quality not quantity that counts. I wish you all the best that life can bring you
Most especially, they will only remember you when they need something from you. Money money money!!

My friends left me for fame and money, glad I have none. Proud to be a lone wolf.
I have 3 friends at 58 years old. My life is drama free. I rarely feel lonely.
Yes the less friend the more peace in life . Very true . Gods love is the only love that counts .
Yes Amen ✝️🙏
It is God's love that will wash away all our earthly moments and fully restore us with the light of gladness. All else means nothing. We won't look back.
Amen. I only ever truly need God! God provides!
All my life I've had no friend, just acquaintances and coworkers. I used to live on my own, but now I live with my sister. Before it kind of bothered me that I didn't have a single friend. But now I'm grateful because I've learned to enjoy my own company and I am at peace. Everyone has their own problems, some have more than others. Once you learn to not create your own problems, it's hard to be around those that do.
"There's positive and negative things about being alone." Very true.
When you can truly be @ peace & content with yourself.. you become more powerful & resilient.
Finally a positive person, I always wondered why everyone complaining about not having friends, I'm glad to be alone, too many backstabbing friends these days
I find some family interaction very painful. After being knifed once too many times, Ive chosen to walk away.
54 and my family always think I am strange because I prefer to be alone. I enjoyed my own company and many ppl thinks I am not normal because I can go to dinner or movies by myself. As I got older I realized how great it was to be alone and I treasured my simple life and come to realization that being alone doesn’t mean lonely. When I have to go to family gatherings or friends social I find I get anxiety as most times it’s shallow and chaotic. You are correct when you are alone you accomplished many things faster
Are you married?
We are Twins! Can we be Friends please?
@@lysianeamougou definitely.reach out anytime 😀
If you feel lonely when you are alone, then you are in Bad Company.
I have "friends" only for that moment when they need my help and want to extract a benefit out of me. E.g. the same "friend" would call me out to lunch and "left her purse/credit card" at home, so get me to pay for her, but she never paid me back. Last week, this "friend" did it yet again, and I told the restaurant waitress to bring 2 checks - one for me to pay for myself, and the other for that "friend" to deal with it herself.
WINNERS ALWAYS HAVE NO FRIENDS!! MOST OF IT IS PEOPLE ARE JEALOUS AF! LETSGOOOO
Now there's a cope.
One problem is that we do not understand friendship as a society any longer. We call people friends who join our Facebook page or group. A true friend requires what any other serious relationship requires: loyalty, respect, humility, love, and a desire to make each other better. It is a critical and important relationship in making a civilization. Yes, alone time is necessary and beneficial too, but friendship is a necessity personally and for society. However, we should work toward having a small circle of true friends instead of numbers of friends. Many comments here claim that there are too many back-stabbing friends or unloyal friends "these days." People have not changed. They are the same as always. The ancient philosophers provide great insight into how we should choose our friends and how it's necessary to remove yourself from anyone who is not a true friend. It is better to have one or two close friends than 1000 Facebook "friends" or hangout friends.
So true. Society likes to push us to make friends since we're young and it's frowned upon to be lonely. The thing is society never taught us what is a friend. A friend shouldn't be just anyone you know or hang out with. It needs to be someone working towards similar goals as you or at the very least someone who can be there with you to have a genuine conversation and connection without the need to have a degenerate activity to do together (drinking, partying, playing video game, smoking, etc).
It’s tech that has retired people to be lonesome and isolated
@hiitsmartin It's probably always been like that to a certain extent, but you just hear about it more with social media. Although, your generation stayed in the house all day in front of a screen, so that's most definitely contributed to it.
The less friends you have; the less enemies you have.
Me too.. people like us want inner peace… not like we detached ourselves from people…. Life is so stressful nowadays…. We just love to be alone peacefully… just free… and it feels good… it heals my soul…
We have 3 children and our middle son was always a loner. Never was invited for birthdays and had to deal with racism. When I talked about it with him, he didn't seem to care at all. Now there are some children who like him and wants to play with him, but he is just better off alone. And one time when I was painting and at the same time watching tutorials, he was watching tv and playing with his lego, drawing and sometimes in his bedroom to live in his fantasy world like pretending he's a hero, that he can fly etc. he told me "Mama. These are my happiest moments." He didn't felt pressure from me that we HAVE to do something, like my husband always wants to do things with us: games, playing music, going out for a walk. And that is a good thing of course. But I also discovered that I prefer just to be alone because deep in my heart I'm a loner too.
Being young is such a blessing. Now I'm 59 I know.
With all due respect what age would you say is the peak of youth and what age would you say youth ends? Thank you.
@@insanoibro6331 I'm in my 60's and it's all down hill after 30. Each decade your body gets worse. As for "youth' that's a mental thing. If you stay young at heart things will look differently to you.
@@insanoibro6331 I'm 62. You asked "what is the peak of youth and what age does youth end?" What do you mean by "peak"? "Peak" in what sense? If you mean biologically, it's probably around your mid-20s, and you probably can't say you are "young" (biologically) once you hit 30" If you mean "peak" financially or materially, then it's probably in your 40s or 50s. If you mean "peak" in terms of your ability to attract women, it's probably about 40. If you mean "peak" in terms of your own personal happiness or contentment, I'd say it's 60+. Or at least, that's how it's been for me. As you get older, you don't have the physique and energy that you used to, but you have learned a lot, grown so much in confidence and competence, become able to set aside so much Bullshit that plagues the young, and after a lot of false starts and mistakes, you build a good life for yourself. That's been my experience, anyhow.
@@Arven8 thanks for the response sir. I'm almost in my mid twenties almost 24 just feel like it's getting late to really turn my life around before im stuck in my bad habits.

Friends are overrated
I have my husband of 6 years, who helped me to quit drinking. I drank for about 21 years. Now with also my faith, I am 4 years sober. We also only have our two cats and perfectly happy.
I had a small handful of people ,who I thought (at one point) were my long-term friends. But hardly anyone mentions my sobriety unless I pushed t ut of them. Most of my friends didn't even mention my husband's name! Or ask me how he was going. At Christmas or occasions, they actually left my husband's name OUT of cards and only put mine.
At first, it was insulting.
Now, I feel so much more free without stressing about "what people may do or maybe thinking".
Congratulations on your sobriety. Keep up the amazing work! And if you’re not surrounded by positive and motivating people, you’re better off without them.
Thank you so much for this.

Friends are a positive thing, but not anyone of the world. That is the problem, the world is vibrating at a lower level to me, filled with hate, sexual imorality, corruption and all the rest. With no immediate family I walk alone, but not alone as God fills the void. You walk with God he fills your heart with peace and with peace you are happy, content.
Yes!! I just posted a comment bout low level vibration. I litterly know it's just human failures.
Amen 💯
Amen 🙏🏾
I've had 23 solo birthdays and Christmases since the last of my family died and friends have either predeceased me or moved away: although I wouldn't wish these circumstances on anyone, if I get 'down' I remember that there are people all over the world who don't even have what I have, so what am I moaning about? Yes, I'd love to have a loving partner, close family and huge circle of friends but I can't magic these into my life so I do the next best thing - be of service to those less fortunate than even me. And that sustains me.
I am always alone. Living, traveling alone. I choose only that things that I like and I live without any compromises. My best "friends" are 3 online contacts from other countries. I cherish these people and don't need anyone else.
It was easy to make friends when i was young. Now its hard. I blame the social media and phones. These days better to be lonely than have bad company. One of my high school friends lied and said i was seeing 5 girls to my girlfriend then tried to hook up with her. I dont trust anybody. She broke up with me and a month later she wanted me back and figured it was false. Also with Family when someone dies you can weed out the greedy ones. I dont talk to my family anymore. They were stealing money from wills .
Jesus is a friend who sticks closer than a brother , mother, father. He's is my savior 🙏 my friend
