    Tnx u 4 sharing. I too, lost my career job, and it destroyed me. I had so much stress, i too couldn't sleep, i got insomnia , anxiety that lead to severe depression. I can't get any motivation, desire or will to do anything. I just stay in bed, or sit. I don't do any hobbies, activities, socialize.... nothing. Just as you mentioned. I just dwell in negativity,. It's like i have lost the want, will, desire to live. I cry alot .. i can't break out of this paralyzed negative prison. I totally understand you're horrible situation. I hope we can recover assp🙏 * i felt so hurt also, by comments like, " get over it, or its the past. Etc 😩

    • @KiekoM
      @KiekoM Před 29 dny

      Yes it's horrible and you can recover! Don't give up. After posting this video I decided to use my savings and go on better help. And took a long hard think about my career choice and have changed my path. I've stopped communicating with "friends" who simply don't understand me or will never understand what I've been through. And as cheesy as it is I started to read affirmations to build my self confidence. We live in a cruel world and it's easy to feel lonely. But loving yourself is the best thing you can do. Negativity does creep in but once you build your confidence things get easier. We will be fine and everything will work out 💪🏻

    IHerb has scammed me out of 60 dollars worth of goods and I'm currently waiting for my credit card company to get back to me regarding payment reversal which seems to be rather complicated. They claim that despite the fact that my parcel (order. I was referring to order 5 2 5 26 7 2 5 2) has arrived short of 4 products that their warehouse records indicate that they've sent it in full. Long story short, they've charged me in full for 4 missing items and now they are trying to brush my messages off. They've already refused two refunds requests and listed the reason as 'friendly fraud' which is apparently their go to excuse for ripping off customers. I suggest you shop elsewhere as you literally get what you paid for - their customer service is a bloody nightmare and they clearly don't give a toss about it.

    Hey Kieko, I always believe in quality friends rather than quality, where you can be your true self whenever you are with them, it's nothing wrong to choose your friends wisely. How do you know they are true friends, is that when you are at your lowest point, they are still there to give you the support and attention that you needed, my 2 cents...

    hii i've been watching your videos and thankyou for making this one about making friends overseas!! i grew up in hk and i'm currently in college in the states. i've recently been thinking a lot about how nice it would be to have an actual friend who i can talk to, hangout/study with while i'm in school. for me i think it's mostly because of my personality that makes me take a lot of time to make a friend, even basic casual socializing rarely happens. there is someone i sometimes talk to in school but, no offense, i wouldn't call them as friends just yet. i believe i am pretty open-minded when it comes to listening to others sharing their own experiences regardless of background, interests, etc.. i am working on trying to be more outgoing i guess and hopefully i will be able to make some friends soon. i definitely agree there are nice people everywhere but sometimes itbjust takes time to find those go along well with you:) i enjoy watching your videos and hope you're doing well overall!! :p

      @KiekoM Před 4 měsíci

      Hi! Yeah it really does take a long time. Especially when we all keep changing as well. We are changing and growing so what we used to like won’t be the same as before. Some people prefer quantity over quality but I definitely prefer quality which is why good friends are harder to find. I hope you are able to find at least one person from your college like I did. There will always be at least one person who understands you and clicks with your personality! Hope you adjust to your new life in the states! Thanks for watching my videos 😁

    Hi there, accidentally found the video recommended after watching vids about renovating HK small apartments heh.. Not sure if it matters but I didn’t find my groove in Hong Kong until I was 34-35 and I’m bang on 40 now. I can tell you’re going through a rough patch, anxiety from money issues as I went through the same thing starting up a bootstrapped business here so I totally empathise. hope you find the thing you’re looking for sooner rather than later - and try (sometimes hard) to be hopeful of something in the short medium and long term to keep yourself focused. Best of luck (from a fellow half english guy)
