    I cried listening to this. This is so relatable. Why do we think everybody else has a right to be loved and belong while we don't just cuz we don't have social skills. We are worthy too and we are cool and awesome people cuz we don't want some superficial small talk. We want deeper connection. Quality over quantity. Thanks a ton for sharing this. Hugs and love.

    I cried up while watching this....
    Its like returning from office to dark home, having your dinner alone and sleeping in your room...
    Its the same situation for the entire week
    Though we don't have social skills but we deserve to be loved
    Even we deserve to have friends
    Thanks for this video mate!

    Life lesson I wish I knew sooner - Making friends is hard. Appreciate the ones you have, don't let them slip away. When people reach out to you, always respond. Reach out to them from time to time just to say Hi. Don't take the relationship for granted.

    Socially awkward - yep! That's how I see myself. Some people tell me I'm funny due to my quirkiness but I don't like to be labelled as such. Being lonely, wishing I have more friends, yet when people reach out to me, I give excuses as to why I can't join them. Sometimes, I come back from the outing in a worse state (especially the next day after waking up) because I start thinking back "I shouldn't have said this or that. Did I make a fool out myself? I should've stayed home"
    While I have 2-3 good friends that I often talk to (quality > quantity) , sometimes I wish I have friends that I could plan to travel with and whatnot. This video has hit me. Thank you Scott.

    @wwizard6982 3 года назад +4

    I have no confidence in myself, I feel that I am worthless because I've been told and shown that I am. I have "friends" that don't care about me, that use me because I care about them. I had a best friend who threw me away, ridiculed me behind my back, and spread my secrets. I have talents, hobbies, interests, and stories that are so great and meaningful, but in the eyes of others, worthless. I no longer see a silver lining, I've lost all hope, I don't understand what is so wrong with just wanting friends that care. No one will see this message and that's just reality.

    When I was a child, I lived in a city where I live now. I used to go out to the playgrouns around my house. I only needed to say to my mother, where I will be and to make sure, I am back at home at seven. I did not have a best friend, but I used to hang out with some other kids. I have 6 year old child now and live in the same house. I know, here are kids living in our street, next houses. But they kind of to go school and after school they go to kids activities. When they do not have a kids activities or school (now Corona), children spend time with their closest family and friends and do not let anyone in. Since this September I feel I just am totally alone arguing with my mother and pity my son he does not have any friends to go out. We had a friends, but we have just lost them because of my negative a toxic thinking. I wish this Corona will end soon and schools open, because lots of people in the future will need this video to watch. Our children who are kept in distance and are not lucky enouht to have friends outside school and outside school club.

Your video is like for the first time somebody care about how suck I feel and how much I want to be worth being loved. I have friends, really close friends, and I got all the "social skills" but deep inside I never really believe that I worth being loved . And again your video just somehow make me feel like you are hugging me and saying that's not true. Thanks a lot.

    Scott, thank you for sharing this journey of yours. So many people deal with the same thing but are afraid or ashamed to discuss their problems. This is very helpful and according to my physician he said 70% of Americans are on some sort of antidepressants including many physicians due to the stress of life. 70% of Americans on antidepressants is unbelievable as many won’t admit their problems. Thanks for exposing this and talking about this taboo.

    This video was really helpful to me. I don't work in an office but I started to feel the same about two months ago. Ok gaming, watching a tv-show, watching, or etc. after work are cool for an hour or two but when it comes to more than three hours, it's where the problem begins. You don't wanna fill the rest of your day with them. You wanna see new people, making connections, having a network around you. Having people around when you get in trouble or when you make progress.

  • @habowskistudio2724

    You are so right!!! It is SO hard to make friends...I either think I have nothing to offer OR I think I don't have time for them. I get so caught up in the hours I have in the day to do something and I can tend to judge. I HATE!! that aspect and am trying to change that.... thanks to your channel. I know....deep in my heart....that EVERYBODY has something to contribute to our human existence. In the end, I think I suffer from depression and anxiety and don't have the financial means to battle the problem and am grateful for your channel. I will start the process by binge watching your vids. Thanks for being REAL. I try to do that on my art channel....show people the real life of whatever problem or profession. It's not always pretty for sure....BUT it NEEDS to be said.

    This is a very honest expression. I know a lot of great people and I constantly think that I'm awkward and that they think that I'm ok but not really worth investing time in. OTOH I dont take any chances with them, inviting them out, just calling to see how they are because its spontaneous. I might embarrass myself. Clearly there are plenty of people like me.

The part with the 1% success rate really hit me. It's been a couple years I've been trying apps to meet people but I was wondering why can't I find a friend that listen to me (and I don't talk a lot so I wonder why is it so difficult for people to listen and be interested). With your 1%, I understand better and I'm feeling better because I know I can keep trying :) thank you so much!

    I start to cry when I even think about my depression and ED because it is all so horrible and on social Media everyone is so open about it but in real life I feel crazy and weak when talking about it. Or empty.
    So it surprised me that my grandma did understand.
    The hardest part is when I am with friends or my Partner and I know I love them but I feel nothing or like it is all a dream.
    My partner says that I am sayin weird things when I have derealisation.
    And that is why I normally don't go out anymore because I am so fucking scared of having a mental breakdown.
    I had a big breakdown last year and it was traumatic for me. I was not myself and my depression scares me so so so much. My mum says I just have to forget, forgive and stop thinking about it but I just can't.
    Am I the only one who is scared of themselfe?

I got rid of family & friends who did not accept me as I am. I used to make many friends at church. But my church is in North Carolina & I live in the Midwest US. & I don’t do bars or the gym. Not sure where to meet new friends.

    When I go somewhere new and I use my
    navigation to get back home, when it tells me “welcome home” it triggers a deep sadness in me for some reason.
    I like living alone for the most part, but I also get sad that I have, and haven’t had for over a decade, anyone or anything to come home to. Anyone to invite over, anyone who wants to come by..
    Some days it’s better than others, but it’s something that I always notice when I hear the disembodied mechanical voice of an app welcoming me home. Only then do I become highly aware of this deeply buried sadness.

    Escucharte fue un gusto . Gracias por estar siempre pensando en los demás, porque sólo alguien que tocó fondo sabe cuánto cuesta y no quiere que nadie más pase por eso.
    I understand english better than talking and writting, but my dear friend THANKS !!!

    I know i have skills but it seams the only time I hear from people is when they want those skill to do free work for them so I just end up sitting at home alone when they don't have anything. I try inviting them out and get denied and no awasner it has been happing this way for the last 10 years they got me to the point to were I hate my hobbies alot of the time and just want to sit and do nothing. I have been trying to make new friends with no luck.

    It's too hard to be alone. I am living alone in bad country and working too hard without any support from family or friends. After 12 years I couldn't continue with this pressure. Now I can't do nothing just unlike everything.
