I moved away from my friends for 5 years and when i moved back i didnt talk to them for abother 3 years, but i always knew they where my friends, one day i just texted my friends and said if they would like to hang out, they said yes. It was weird the first couple of times but now we are still like brothers.
damn bro thats pretty sad. I didnt lose my friends when I went to college bc we are super tight. Honestly don't give up because you will find people who you're ride or die with and they're the most important relationship you'll ever make. I think as we change we shed all the people who weren't rly for us like dead skin.
Congrats on graduating! Proximity yields convenience. you touch upon this throughout the video. Relationships are based on mutual investment. Both parties need to make accommodations. These accommodations require energy. Drifting apart is natural and for the most part there there is more of a whimper rather than a bang. But gawd dayum can it suck! Life has a habit of getting in the way. Your identity will change as time continues. You will break yourself down and build up again over and over!
Ps 9pm is peak existential crisis time, fear of death is another thing to cover. You’ll be going about your day and it hits you. You will not be here at one point. Obvious I know but uni distracts from this.
Hey thanks for this video and congrats on graduating! :) I’ve followed your instagram but never seen one of your videos until now and I will admit it did seem like a very sad video at first LOL. But at its core it’s just a discussion about one of the many inevitable occurrences in life. And I look up to your mindset, I truly do. This year I graduated hs and started my first semester at college. Saying goodbye to people has always been hard but as of June this year I was excited for whatever is ahead. So I was less sad and more fulfilled/grateful. That remained true until one of my best friends of 10 years, whom I spent the last year talking to 24/7 + playing games everyday with 24/7, decided on a random day in July that she didn’t want me in her life anymore. Now that’s not the truth, but that’s how it felt at the time. Before we graduated she gave me a poem and a twenty-eight page letter saying everything she loved about the time she spent with me. So clearly she didn’t just suddenly resent me, but it was also clear that the passage of time had its way of changing things in our relationship. These last six months have been probably the most difficult of my entire life because of that. I was truly at my lowest and I was also anxious about how it would affect my ability to make the most or college. It just shook me how, someone could tell me I meant the universe to them and that they never want the time they spend with me to end, to that same person never bothering to check up on me and uncharacteristically responding to my messages dryly. The implications of something like this scared me and I let it define me. But after processing my grief I have gotten to the point that I’m okay with it. I hold no anger towards her and the pain she caused. I don’t think it was immature of me to feel sad or angry. It was only normal I did. But I will say I’ve matured enough to just accept it. It’s simply a part of life. This video gives me reassurance in this new understanding of mine, it really does. So thanks for that, I hope to make the most of whatever comes my way!
I moved into a city on the opposite side of the country and the one friendship I maintained was my best friend and we’ve managed to to become even closer over the past few years, I look forward to visiting him and its strengthened our friendship somehow
In college I was a bit of the opposite for my first year, I made friends and wasn’t as close to my high school friends but the some of them went to my university and we stayed connected online through games so it doesn’t feel like it would go anytime soon. Although the internet can always keep us within reach I do think in time we’ll all be more focused on our lives and won’t ever be as actively in each others life but it’s just more reason to enjoy the now
I moved to japan in 2020. And after living in Brazil for 29 years years you start to notice who're your friends after changing countries. Atm i'm still going tru many things of this process. Like u said, it's like a girlfriend/boyfriend type shit. It's hard to change places. I liked your approach.
People continually grow and change over time, it's basically an inevitably that things will erode. Even if you stay in your hometown it WILL happen because of this. Moving just accelerates it as things become more inconvenient as you said.
"something happened to me so it will happen to you as well" should be the title. Also true friends always stick with each other if there is love, I would advice you to change this mindset if you want to be happier
I'm 55 now. I'm terms of friends only 2 survived from below the 20ies. That is less than the loose contracts that survived from back then. No, it's not easy. It's life. The funny side is, you watch a part of the hostile people die as well.
I was waiting for you to cry, i was going to give you some tissues😊. I was in the Army for a while, and after i came out, my friends and i kept in touch, in one form or another. Not like so we contact each other every day but just to be at the other end of the fibre optic, With emails and Social media it's easier now. A sad thought is when you left your first School you didn't realise that when you left you didn't realise you wouldn't see them again. I'm happy you like London, i have friends in London so i always like to come down from Leicester, have a meal at Mr Wu in China Town, i love the atmosphere around there. I have been to China, only to Beijing but i loved it there. I have some friends there who i met along time ago,long story. anyway enjoy your videos and the different topics you bring to the table.
I’m soon going to finish high school, I’m just afraid of losing touch with 2 close friends. One is quite introverted and almost never messages me, and she’ll move somewhere else. I know that it’ll be hard to maintain contact with her, and I’m just afraid we’ll loose touch. The other guy I’m sure we won’t. Anyways this is a great vid..
Congrats on gratuating I'm sorry to hear your not close to your friends as much I've lost all my friends in high school but 1 because of the toxicicity but also just because we don't see each other as much any. Ore I understand you and it yeah fucking sucks man but I just live it through man🥲
I lost all my high school friends but it’s okay, realized how trash they are once I’ve matured and grow my morals and values.
I moved away from my friends for 5 years and when i moved back i didnt talk to them for abother 3 years, but i always knew they where my friends, one day i just texted my friends and said if they would like to hang out, they said yes. It was weird the first couple of times but now we are still like brothers.

I lost all my friends and haven't even finished highschool. People just move on and that's just life unfortunately 😭
I think I lost all, but probably 2. Now I'm in graduate school doing oceanography, and it never really got better. People just drift apart over time.
Zero friends zero life , oh well , we all die alone after all
I never moved and lost all friends.
Making new friends seems impossible when you're a older guy but life is life i guess.
