My social anxiety increase drastically to the point I wish I don't want to go outside and have dinner at all. I find difficult to meet thier face and talk. I don't want to show my fake smile too. so I end up frowning which is creating misunderstanding and hurting me more.

    This is how I was when I was in my late teens and early twenties. I recently read my journal of those days and I was so mad at my younger self for writing about being so depressed because I was stuck home with hardly any friends. It's such a waste of good energy. What they say is so true. Don't worry about it and focus on the things you love and your friends will arrive in your life without you even looking for them. It DOES get better.

Voice your opinion 3)Be comfortable with rejection that way you can meet more people and increase your chances of forming deeper bonds. 4)Go to the places where you think you can find people who have the same interests as you. All the best for anyone who is reading this :)

    5:37 You missed the most important third option, which in my opinion is vital for deep friendships: Someone doesn't fully agree or may totally disagree but sees how you think and appreciates it and respects it. I don't think a deep friendship can be one where this happens on every point but I think there has to be some times where you have interesting disagreement. Indeed, in my own life I have noticed many occasions where disagreement and conflict has resulted in a deepening of friendship.

    I loved this. I’ve always been an extremely bubbly outgoing person and had a tight group of friends growing up. But since college, those have all drifted and I find it hard to get close to anyone now, as I feel like I’m a bother or overbearing. And it’s not even a confidence thing, but I’m such a people pleaser that I hate making anyone feel uncomfortable and I don’t share the jokes in my head or certain opinions because I want to make everyone comfortable or I’m afraid I’ll say something that will create discomfort. This has something that’s been on my mind heavily lately, as I’m getting married next year, and I’m realizing I no longer really have a set group of die hard friends to stand next to me, but just close friends as invites. And that’s no one else’s fault but my own.

I purposely put myself out there (which was crazy scary) but honestly I got to the point where there was nothing to lose and it all paid off.

    If I had to give one bit of advice on this to someone in their teens or early 20s, it would be to keep up your friendships with extended family that you are close too, cousins etc. I drifted away from my extended family and placed much more emphasis on my school/college/work friends. As you get older, you'll find that many of those people drift away, simply because the thing that brought you together isn't there anymore. Most people also place platonic friends very low down the pecking order of priorities. Family on the other hand have a blood bond. They will give a shit about you when it counts. Don't ditch them.

    Wow.. I wish I could’ve seen this 4-5+ years ago, it would’ve saved me so many nights of crying lol over being so frustrated from not having any close friends. I’ve gone basically my whole life without making ANY friends that I’m comfortable talking to, and recently I’ve begun to understand why but this video really put it into words. Literally everything he said called me out 💀 it’s so hard though, to take initiative and to be able to say and do things without fearing rejection. I’m so anxious in front of people that I analyze every single thing I do and say that I can’t even think of what I WANT to do or say. For a while I was scared I had no personality at all, because I just literally became no one in front of other people. I’ve been so afraid that I don’t have any time left to make close friends.. But videos like this give me hope and I’m so grateful. And the tips are actually useful!! It’s gonna be really hard to implement them but I’m hoping I don’t fail this time.

    I learned to make friends by being chill, talking calm, using common sense and having a high sense of humor so others don't identify me as "boring". When it comes to making friends, find people who are trustworthy, chill, and incredible nice. These type of people will help you in the long run and last for decades. They will show loyalty, honesty, and most importantly true friendship. Always make sure you lead a good first impression, it's like finding a really solid ground to build a skyscraper.

    People always say it’s harder to make friends when you get older. This is because you HAVE to get out of your comfort zone, outside of your normal regular, working routine. When growing up, we’re forced out of our comfort zones with a new school year, new semester, school camps, etc. But most people when they get older stop all of that and just go to work and go home, rinse/repeat. If you want to meet people and make friends, you have to get out of your comfort zone and get out there 👍🏻

I just don't have anywhere to go since I do everything locally. That also doesn't mean I am really that searching for someone else since I know that people are not that needed in life but sometimes it would be fun to have ONLY one person to share some ideas with. I've had some of these in the past but they were a mistake.

    Yeah, where would you go for creating interactions? I'm not in college anymore. Even then when I spoke to people and invited them, I never kept any friends. If you go to my state, if you say hi to a random person in any form of being in public, you will always get a weird look. I've been told its the complete reversal down south. To the point when someone in the grocery store is trying to know every aspect of your life and very creepy for how friendly they are. At work, everyone is at least twice my age. But I do try to have conversations. Its the best way for them to feel more comfortable around you and they would be more willing to reach out to you. But its not the situation where they invite you or you invite them. to anything except work holiday parties. I don't go to bars. I don't go to gyms. I would rather save money and go on a walk/run down the road rather than spending $20+/month. There really isn't much else from there. For the most part it is who you know. Friends of Friends. There isn't any club stuff, learning locations for say cooking classes, or whatever. Especially for adults. I've asked libraries, shelters, etc for volunteering. But it looks like they only take kids. No adult programs. Took over a month to hear back from the animal shelter. But at that point I was back in the middle of my college classes, working a night time job, and studying after that for exams. There was absolutely no time. Now that I am a bit older, I don't see the reason to help out since it seems to be a very secretive society lol.... My two friends don't really have friends themselves after we finished high school. We hang out at both of their houses. But not my mobile home. I've invited them for drinks and sitting by a fire pit. They know I don't have extra controllers. I've told them they could bring theirs. But majority dictated to hang out their places.

    And no, it isn't my fault. Whether it was the way I acted or looked. I had a twin sister growing up who would say that I was a awful person that ruined her life... Abusive, always hitting her.... No that was my father and she put the blame on me for whatever reason. She never went to school with any bruises... I took 90% of the beatings. Being hit with metal or wood. I didn't bruise easy. She had it off easy compared to me. Hell she tried to stab me with a knife back in high school cause she thought I was annoying.. She's Crazy... In middle school she had an eating disorder, anorexia... That totally messed up her mind. There is ton more to the story for how crazy she is now... But that is for another time. People who I never met knew me (my name and what I looked like) and didn't want to speak with me.... No one every gave me a chance to know who I really was. People are very gullible. Didn't matter if we moved. She would start up the whole process. Even though I kept to myself in school. I tried to be social. But in high school I tried to socialize...Joined a sport, tried joining clubs. But no one socialized with me. I ended up leaving the clubs after a few meetings. But I kept to myself because everyone knew each other from birth and they chose that they had enough "friends." Even if they didn't say it. In general, I'm a very kind/shy person. Willing to help out. Managed to keep a couple of friends from high school but never met any new people. But they act more like associates.The college I went to was filled with pricks with money. More females to male ratio. The older people who had kids themselves were the ones I ended up speaking with the most. But were are at different points of our lives.

Perhaps because I didn't want to offend anyone in a foreign country but I didn't realize that it's probably why...Fuck.

I never voice my opinion or express myself like I would normally do, I'm essentially just playing this "role" of an ordinary, simple (and now I realize a very boring) guy with the aim to get liked by everyone because I don't want to get rejected. I realize now this is why I never have any meaningful relationships with anyone and why the few relationships I've had just faded away. So all I need to do is to turn that filter off and just be myself. Thanks for the informative video...really puts things in perspective!

Once upon a time I'd be scared of getting into a fight with a friend because people always drop friendships so easily, but now I realize that it's an inevitable part of life, and it's important to have fights/disagreements. That's when you really realize who people are.

Being liked by everyone, but loved by no one describes my situation really well. When I look back, I made a lot of progress and I hope to make good friends as time will go on. I already have some friends, but I don't get to know them better as I conceal what makes me who I am. To anyone reading this, you got this! Become your best friend first and the rest will follow.

    *Personal reminder:* *1) **1:18* _Always assume iniciative._ Don't just sit around waiting to be called to a party or make plans. Take control. The worst that could happen is that the people you invite reject your proposal, but even then you have to have a clear conscience because you did what you had to do. *2) **3:08* _Honesty is the antidote._ If you don't express your identity, if you are not being yourself cause you're afraid of not liking others and you just pretend to be someone you are not, then it will be difficult for you to make friends. Try to be you. If you don't say what you actually think, you're basically concealing your identity from others. And people don't tend to bond with people that they don't know at all, especially people who they don't trust. If you say what you think or show your true self, people can do one of two things: agree with you or reject you. First thing is great in itself. And being rejected, paradoxically, it is too. *3) **5:52* _Rejection is a very useful tool._ When you communicate honestly, when you're not afraid to be controversial and be who you are in front of other people, then you're inevitably gonna make a lot of people stay away from you because they completely disagree with you. And that's a good thing cause you can figure it out very quickly who the people who are actually staying are. And those people are probably the ones that you can bond with. Rejection is an inevitable vicissitude of life that always happens if people are incompatible or have different points of view or life projects. Rejection can be difficult to process mentally, especially if it is sudden or if the person rejecting you is doing it in an unpleasant or offensive way. But, trying to see the good in things, maybe that is better, because that way you avoid the painful breakdown of a long friendship or love relationship. *4) **8:50* _Demographics advice._ If you complain that you can't find people like you, who likes the exactly or similar things like you, or with your same hobbies or controversial opinions about religion or politics or whatever, just try to frequent social spaces in which it is statistically and demographically more likely to find people similar to you. Places like churchs, extracurricular events, optional meet ups and stuff like that. If you wanna increases your chances of finding people that you connect with, get out of your comfort zone and stop looking in the same generic places as always.

    This is quite helpful. One thing that really struck me was: you view yourself through how others view you. I got bullied and ignored for 5 years in high school. So I thought of myself as a worthless person that no one wants to associate with, and I don’t talk to people that much because I don’t think they want to talk to me. I even got a speech impediment from how insecure and unconfident I am. I’m now trying to take initiative and voice my opinions during group conversations but I find that the lack of social skills and the fear of stuttering is really getting in the way. I am now so out of the loop that it’s hard for me to make friends anymore. Very hard. Anyways I will apply some of the techniques of this video and I hope it will give me a social life.

    This is so incredibly accurate. I am a religious guy and I really struggled to find frienship early on in college. I would go to a party looking for a new buddy or the love of my life and always comeback disappointed feeling like an outsider. Finally, I began to go to events held by the campus church and now I am involved with a community where I have real friendships and share deep values with people. It has literally been life changing. Take this guy's advice, go to where you are most likely to find people who share similar values and interests as you

    I'm an interesting case. For the past few years now, It's been very easy for me to make friends. I used to be more of an introvert but expanded on myself and a lot of what was said in this video were just things that came to me naturally. However, I've also learned that being that outgoing person takes a toll on you if you aren't careful. Last year, it greatly affected my mental state and because I was trying to keep up with everyone, a lot of the time, I'd forget to handle a lot of my own priorities. This video definitely has a point about how rejection is a good thing. Having a small circle is nice, especially when you know these are people you can trust. While I still do have a large number of good friends, I now just take casual mental breaks from everyone to sort myself out. I learned that you can make time for others, but dont forget to make time for yourself.

    These are almost exactly the same things I've learned from having my first ever best friend at 21, We have shared deep and honest moments and alot of the times when we do annoy each other we are acutely aware of what annoys the other person, so we either do it just to fuck with the other person as a joke or we don't do it at all. We do love each other ALOT (not in a relationship) and are always trying to better each other. And I think the points mentioned in this video are absolutely key to what goes in cultivating a true friendship. We always joke about our perspectives and our life experiences being so inherently different yet we vibe harder with each other than anyone else, and I think honesty from both sides is what led to that level of bond. I am not gonna pretend that we like the best friends in the universe or anything but I am closer to them than I have ever felt with anyone else. Hopefully someday I can find more people like that.

    I have two friends that I have felt that close to. One of child hood friends who was very different than me. He taught me how to get out of my shell and have fun. He toughened me up and taught me the value of hard work. He is still one of my best friends but I’m not as close to him anymore because I moved away. We still meet every now and again but it’s only natural we would grow apart. Then there is a friend I made in college who has a very different background to me yet came to have many of the the same interests I have such as mathematics and science. He was an engineering major and I was and still am an Astrophysics major. We had some of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever had and we weren’t afraid to voice our opinions, even if they were vastly different from one another. We worked out problems together and helped each other in our studies. We were always competing with each other to see who did better in our classes. He got me even more fired up to learn because I wanted to beat him and it felt like a huge accomplishment when I did because we were often only a few points off on all of our tests. And when I was unprepared and I got a unusually subpar grade like a C and he got an A he didn’t rub it in, like if he were to beat me by only a few points. Unfortunately the last semester I saw him I fell into a bad depressive state for a weeks, the worst I’ve had in my life were for a while I almost completely gave up on my life. I could tell during that time I was pushing everyone around me away but I didn’t know how not too. I felt like I couldn’t be honest with people because I was suffering which made me fall into even greater despair. I saw him a few more times after that in my final semester at community college. If I recall correctly he was finishing up with his last class online but still came into to the math center to come study, which is where we always talked and made the other friends in our friend group. I fortunately got to say goodbye to him on okay terms, but things didn’t quite feel the same between us after my episode. I hope I see him again.

I usually don’t talk about it unless I’ve carefully accessed if they are on the same part of the political spectrum that I am.
