  • 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.

    The most happiest moments in my life 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"

      @@wordswordswords8203 Wow, thank you for this reply. I'll never give up on human connectivity, nor am I seeking it. I think because of my parents showering me with their attention and love, when I was a little boy, before they died - as an adult, I never feel the need for "love" outside of myself or from anyone else.
      If I somehow meet someone and we have a kid or two, then that's fine. Although, if that were to never happen; that too, is also fine. I wish you well, friend 🙂👍

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @hiitsmartin

      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).

As for family, I have none. Sometimes it is the luck of the draw. But I am okay.

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!

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

They were nowhere to be found. It was like " like you claimed " my issues and troubles felt like " drama " to them. So what they really did, was neglect me. I even got divorced bc I moved to Florida while my ex wife was whoring around doing her internships.
      I think most of you are just covert narcissists. That used " friends" til life got harder and yall wanted to bounce lol 😆
      Like the moment yall get sick, THATS when you start having thoughts of wishing you had friends or family lol
      Many of you remind me of emotional un intelligent weasles lol 😆
      I'll explain more in detail. It's not " social media " it's not " society "
      It's unaware humans in low vibration who neglect, who have zero tolerance, who have major ego issues. And we cause trauma to each other litterly for no reason other than being a scum bag human.
      The fact i could EASILY be any of your friends. With out " drama " and even if a friend asked you for ur advice and now you think that's drama helping a friend out bc you think it's " negative " is so childish lol 😆 the fact you people are " stuck " not ever forming friendships yet yall can be Dr's is crazy to me.

    I so agree with you. I used to be pretty codependent and not liking to ever be alone, until a series of unfortunate events forced me to be literally alone with no friends no job no anything for probably about almost a good year and being alone like that and losing every possession I had and almost homeless Was the hardest best thing I ever went through because I learned to like myself and I learned my boundaries and what I want and what I don't, Iwhat I will put up with and what I wont. And I learned now that I'm in a complete opposite place in my life I know that I could lose everything again and I'd be just fine because I've already survived it! And you learn a lot about yourself and a lot of reflecting and you find your "why" or what drives you in life. And I'm back around three important people and even that is hard for me a lot because I'm a very compassionate caring person, but the stress and drama that they bring is a lot for me after being in a place that I could cut out the issues. So I think this is a good channel. He sounds like he going up from a positive mindset and I wish the best for everyone on this channel and in the comments
