      Yo... I just got here by Aba and Preach. Honestly I didn't see it there cause I wanted to watch the original and properly react with my own thoughts. Thank you for sharing this. No I'm not a subscriber and I have no idea what your content is but I will find out soon XD
      That been said I want to shar emy piece with you as well.
      I am from Mexico, 36 years old and married. When I was around 12 ish I was bullied for 5 years at my school. There was no "rejected" section. Even those "loosers" would mess with me as well so... you can imagine. Back then my aunt (Father's sister) was married to an American. Most amazing guy ever. Unfortunately around this month after thanksgiving and such he took his life due to his own demons. My grades were also going down so my parents took me to therapy. While I explained this so called "professional" basically told my parents that I wasn't able to take the blame of my own actions and would blame everyone else instead. lol. So now my only safe place which was my homw turned as well into hell. Not that they did anything bad to me but simply thought i was just lazy and irresponsible.
      A few days I'm pretty sure during those years I really just wanted to end it all. But the grief that me and my family went through loosing my uncle would remind me what I would cause to all of them. The only reason I'm brething right now is because of him. Then I told my parents. Earned the courage to let them know the type of looser I was. They took it on the best way possible and changed me to another school. But ofc I was at high school at that point. All those things I didn't live younger I was experiencing them. Even having a girlfriend. Took me again into the wrong direcion not focusing on school and just... living and having fun.
      That made me think that those who decide to end it all are just cowards. How dead wrong I was.
      So it could have been no more than 2 years ago I trully understood. I also cried. Realizing that my uncle didn't end it cause he was a coward. He did it to save my life in a way. For that I am thankful. Today I only have 2 best friends and ofc my wife. I have been betrayed by others. I have learned the bad way that as much as you offer sometimes people don't appreciate it. Hope you don't need to learn that but please remember it is is a possibility and yet you are not alone. There is always someone new. There is always a new experience. And there is also always a new downfall.
      Someone once said "tears are the heart's sweat" and it's very true. Cause it just simplifies how much your heart can work for you and eventually just has to express it on one way or another.
      Big hughs from Mexico. And stay strong my dude.
      Good luck.

She was planning out our lives together and the reality is, I had just been carrying on because I didn't want to hurt her, I should have broke up with her years ago. When she started saying we need to seriously discuss marriage, that's when I said that's it. That was the step I couldn't take.

      Thats part of it for me too. I used to have so many friends but honestly I feel like I've already been forgotten since I've moved so much. Now I'm just in a pure loneliness where I feel like I forget how to make friends. Friendship online seems to be a "Friendship" only when they feel like it. I'm probably guilty of that too because I like my space to do what I want but at times I want someone to do things with but only when im in the mood.

      @@TheBloggme For the most part I don't mind it either, and you could sure as hell survive school without any friends. But in the real world, you'll 100% need them, and that's no joke. I don't care how introverted, resclusive, or "doomed" you think you are, you're gonna need friends at some point in your life. If you're working a day job or following a career, or even just simply going to Uni, I couldn't stress how crucial it is to help you keep up with the days of stress and inevitable anxiety. Being forgotten or not cared about can be the most painful thing in the world if given the proper circumstance.

      Im married now with kids so this isn't in it for me but if I were you that's what I'd do. He said it cost him about 5 grand, not including the bike and flight back. So say with 10k you can do that and have an enormously adventurous, enriching experience.

Am I happily living after? NO, i`m bitter, angry, sad, broken, in fear, heavy leaden, in darkness, always in somewhat contests with people around me, who has something better, something more and so on…, I succumbed to the fear of the opinions about my life of others, thats the hurtful truth.”

      This sounds like a coping mechanism. If all of your friends turned out to be fake, you have to consider the problem may not lie with them. The odds of having all or most of your friends turn out to be fake is slim to none. More likely than not it’s not even intentional at all, but a misinterpretation of a relationship that never truly was reciprocal. Or, in other words, they were never your friends to begin with.
      Most people I know who feel the way you do got there because they realized they didn’t mean as much to their friends as their friends meant to them. It can be easy to invest in a relationship without ever realizing your investment doesn’t automatically mean the other party feels the same...

    I’m 35 and I’m kind of in the same boat. I’m lonely as fuck and have severe depression and social anxiety. I’m overweight and more introverted and serious. I have no actual friends, or people in my life that I would consider “friends.” I have a handful of acquaintances and co-workers, but no one that genuinely likes me, cares about me, or wants to include or hang out with me. And other than my mother, I have no other family safety net that I can trust, rely on, or communicate with. Other than my mother, no one checks in on me. I’ve actually been placed on suicide watch.
    This year, I decided to do something about it. I’m getting in shape and have lost 40 ibs so far. I’m working on learning to be more outgoing, social, and funny (even if it’s just a mask). I’m seeing a therapist and I’m taking medication. And I’m learning to be comfortable being a lone wolf and not caring about others approval. Supposedly, the right people will come eventually.

    I feel this as a woman, many women are soooo bad at prioritizing friendships, it seems once you get to a certain age people are ONLY invested in their romantic partner but life is about balance! The only friends I really have apart from my best friend are male and as such there are limitations to our friendship that wouldn't exist with some good female friends, but it's like as soon as they find their partner they disappear :( I think there is a general disrespect to friendships when in my opinion they are the most important and fulfilling relationships (at least for someone like me from a 'bad' family background, friendships mean everything to me! Which is why it's so upsetting that it's hard to find/keep)

      I'm 26, and when I was like 22 or 23, I still had a group of friends and a girlfriend, which was super weird, because I was always closed off, introverted and stuff, so I guess you could say I got lucky? But I didn't. They turned out to all be toxic people who didn't appreciate me or respect my choices, she ended up cheating on me and just leaving as soon as I found out, for another man, literally the dude she told me not to worry about. And this was right before Covid started. I don't remember having 5 genuine social interactions since then. It's just work and sleep. I try to fill up my time with hobbies like reading, drawing, building model kits, collecting comics and action figures, working out, playing video-games, hanging out with my family... But sometimes I can't even do that. I don't have the strength or the willpower to keep on going. It's so hard when you have no one to share your experiences with, to be excited about something together.
      But that just makes me wonder, what is it that I'm looking for? Is it people to actually build relationships with? Or is it just someone to compliment my existence and my life?

    I feel you. Turning 30 in three days. I have no friends... none. I haven't gotten a text from anyone in almost 10 years. I don't have someone to talk to, I don't have someone to kick it with, I don't get messages on social media. I don't have a girlfriend or any girls talking to me, I don't have a worthwhile job, I feel pretty worthless to be honest. I don't think anyone would bat an eye if I disappeared. I've been holding it together for almost a decade of being alone everyday, but in the past couple days the loneliness has hit me like a ton of bricks. For the first time in a decade I truly do feel alone. Just another birthday and just another year by myself.

      same, 32 soon, no friends, no actual skills to be productive, only small time job for few hours delivering papers at night aka no social interactions at all, sit in front of my pc all day watching random shit and feeling bad, trying to live more healthy and exercise more these last few weeks but that just makes it even harder, I dont want many friends at all as I usually like being on my own but some days I wish I had at least 1 or 2 or a significant other but I feel like I dont even know where to find actual friends or meet new people, never liked going outside to parties or such and gaming is just not fun anymore, everytime I play something I feel this strange pressure that nothing matters anyway because I just waste more time doing nothing, watching twitch streams and joining random discords just to find out I have no social skills anymore and Im too scared to even say anything there, hoping that by losing some weight and such I would gain more confidence but not sure about that either so probably wont happen. I just know theres other people like you who feel the same and that just proves to me that Im not alone in my struggles, even If I dont know you.

    Yeah I can honestly say I just turned 31 and once I had turned 29 my group just diminished completely. We all moved away, but we still were connected through social media and group chats, but it's the inevitable and if you look at their lives today, nothing has really changed besides the fact that they don't really want to interact with you anymore, not even causally. I'm glad I saw this video, I kept feel like I'm missing something and not understanding the trend. But it's whatever at this point. I tried my best to reach out, interact and maintain a good and healthy relationship, but if that's how they are then screw them. Worse apart about this all is I also feel like my siblings and relatives are the same way and when I look at my parents circle they're folks still interact and chill from time to time. But I like I said, it sucks, but it is what it is.... I appreciate your video and I'm glad you found a relatable group of people that you can call friends.

At 38 I have no family left that are still alive and willing to help me or even talk with me much. I have a single real friend, maybe two good acquaintances. Wait until you're closer to 40. Then you'll start to feel really awful as your body starts to hurt. While your uncle's and aunts, grandparents and parents all die around you. When the half assed attempts become harder and harder to achieve. 05:40 isn't the dead inside pain i was promised. It's a lament. It's a recollection of a better time. It isn't a lack of hope.

      I recently learned that some people lack the "inner monologue" that others have. Meaning some people have a voice in their head that they use to actively think while others don’t. Part of me thinks the ones that don’t have the voice are incredibly common because people who are like that have stated that they don’t do much self-reflection or really think about how or why things are. They just kind of accept what they see and feel at the moment in relation to what’s right in front of them. There are way too many people who have a clear disregard for others that it actually blows my mind sometimes.
      Hell, I’ve tried to start complimenting people on things in the games I play and most of my compliments are met with immediate toxicity and negativity. I just want to make people feel good about something they did.

    Oddly enough I met a guy in a youtube live chat room ..... living with him now. he's amazing. whatever we end up being im sure we'll be great friends, i hope for the rest of our lives. two lonely 38 year olds ...now cherishing eachothers company, and we already watched all the same stuff on youtube and he even got me into some new stuff we bond over it ! not saying we will get married or anything but just to have this nice connection at this age where i had just resigned to being alone. caught me off guard. he's a great person. good luck all

      just wanted to say--have you thought about getting counselling?? i understand completely (i think) but would love for your self esteem to be higher too and not calling yourself a loser. i feel like i am weird combination. i think i am a loser. but i also have enough self esteem to say i dont need someone to do bad with- i can do bad on my own. but other times i think also-- hey maybe im not so bad after wall-- im not an alcoholic, i dont do drugs, i wasnt a teenage pregnancy statistic, i dont have tons of kids from different daddies....whatever stigma you can think of i guess as far as those. But lets see--- i didnt finish college-- i STILL dont know what i want to be when i grow up (i want to do something that i love but still support the lifestyle i want- which is not a rich lifestyle either) my daughter and i live in a house my mom owns, she helps out will bills- she bought my last two cars....im not stupid, but i think emotionally immature alot of times...i just dont care about alot of shit. i am overweight- again not caring right now other than for my daughter...i dont know how to express how i feel like a loser too-- i certainly dont look at my circumstances and say- oh she's successful...i wanna be like her.....i dont get in trouble with the law-- i have my daughter to worry about but i have done stupid shit before her....dont know if this makes sense....your still young. i am 46 i just hope you can learn from me.

    • @talk2azs

      First of all, NEVER EVER call yourself a loser. If you do that you will start believing it. And if you believe it, you will program yourself into a huge state of depression! This is something you DO NOT want in your life! Also it does not matter if you are overweight. You MUST STOP calling yourself that as well! You also do not need those words programming yourself into depression. Lets take a look at some facts here. I am in my early 50's now to let you know that I know what I am talking about!
      1> You stated you just got out of a 10 year relationship that started when you were 19, seeing how you are almost 30. We as people in our society are still immature kids in our 20's. We change so much that we do not even realize it! I went through the same exact thing in my 20's. Yes, it sucks, but do what I did and just tell yourself these words: "SHIT HAPPENS!"
      2> You are just about to start your adult life and have so much to learn about the world and yourself. It's a new chapter you are starting. Embrace it, learn from it, and most importantly, just enjoy the ride. "Things always change! They never stay the same!" This is a line from the lyrics of the song "Life, Love, and Laughter" by Donavan Frankenreiter which was released in 2008. Here is the link if you want to take a listen:
      www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjx1vuYt_7vAhVrleAKHcN0AAIQtwIwBHoECAYQAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8Y-upHLOv48&usg=AOvVaw1Rtk3J-_eUhDNV1LQVz4cI
      3> When you get into your 40's, you will realize how stupid and immature you actually were in your 20's. LOL. You will learn even more about yourself than you would ever have realized!
      As stated above. Sit back and enjoy the ride. ALWAYS love yourself first. You will run into people on your journey that will try to bring you down. Think of these as little challenges that will get thrown at you. The way to deflect that is to always stay positive about yourself and no one will ever take you down. If there is something you don't like about yourself, only you will know how to change that. If you decide to make those changes, enjoy that ride as well!

Your placed with all this strangers for long times of your life. You have to make friends. In the real world however no one forces you into a room with strangers( except for in your job). And since it doesn't matter if your a teen, child, or adult. Approaching a stranger is always uncomfortable and therefore few bother.
      Then the double whammy of the fact that being an adult with a family is very time and energy consuming. It's no wonder most people only have about a handful of friends by their late thirties. And that number just keeps dwindling.

      They say the great men of history always stood alone, but they were also very miserable
      Having no friends is basically worse than being a chronic smoker
      In fact, the negative effects and the toll loneliness has on your mental health is so severe that it can be equated to smoking 15 cigarettes daily, meaning it has the same amount of life-shortening potency as those 15 cigarettes
      Learning to be alone and loving oneself isn’t just enough on its own, in my opinion
      The key to happiness is BOTH having a quality genuine social circle AND learning to be with oneself
      You need both of them
      Cause being alone is just impossible for us humans, we’re probably the most social creatures to ever walk this Earth
