I find it interesting how you see yourself as a weirdo, yet you've always seem to me like a really cool and confident person.

Girl you are not alone! Making friends can be so hard

Fellow INFJ here: I have literally said all of what you mentioned. I feel this on a deep level. I've struggled with this my whole life. I tend now, more often than not, to overshare my weird side up front, then I know who's down to play!

It gets more chill in your 30's I'm turning 35, it seems to be much easyer then in my 20's. By your 30's you generally know what you want vs what you don't. So I meet my current bff at the book store she worked at. I thought she was rad af, so next time I was there I was all 'Yo, you want to be friends?' It worked. C:

I've actually felt the opposite. Most of my friends/people my age have kids, which basically takes over your life. I don't have kids yet, otherwise I'd be trying to arrange playdates. LOL

I feel like one of the hardest things about making friends as an adult for me is being a creative person that wants to do creative stuff all the time. I find it SO hard to find and meet other creative/artistic people! I have a few friends but we don’t have many shared interests so I never know what to do when I hang out with them. I just wanna make cool shit with cool people, where they at?? 🤷‍♀️

I live in your area, and thrift a ton, also love Halloween and horror, we should totally be friends, but yeah, as an adult - how do you ever make that happen? haha.

I'm always worried I come across as weird/socially awkward

I recently graduated from college, and I feel like I’m losing friends more than I’m making friends. It’s scary and frustrating because I know that opportunities to make close friends as an adult are limited, so I feel so much pressure to maintain the relationships that I still have - but it’s nice knowing that so many other people struggle with this too.

Rebecca Spargo i feel ya. I don’t talk to any of my friends from college anymore...

This is way to relatable.. After meeting my friends I always overthink everything I said while talking to them, feel awkward about little things, being scared that they don’t like me even though I know that they do. Also..sometimes I feel like I love my friends way too much. And I have a hard time showing them, because I don’t want to be annoying or clingy.

My best friend died in October, and having very few friends this made me panic a bit as I don't socialize much as it is and even though we had moved to different cities we'd send FB messages etc fairly often. I got in a really bad depressive state and stopped socializing at all for the most part and then this summer I'm trying to be more 'social' because I'm really tired of being this depressed and am trying to turn it around. But...it's near impossible to make friends as an adult I just don't know what to do and I'm never going to a bar or anything to hang out (I'm a homebody).

I'm so sorry that you lost your best friend. Always remember that you will always be your own best company.

I'm 36, and I'm in the same boat. ♥️ I'd love to find just 1-2 friends who are also into the same things I am to hang out with.

Having a strong personality is tough when making friends. Some friends are what I call "coffee friends", they are good to meet up for coffee but no deeper.

Same. It feels so weird going into my 20’s this year with like no true friends. Like I have acquaintances in work but they’re not people that I would consider really good friends I don’t know them very well. And in community college and with the classes it’s never consistent. As a kid I didn’t consider that I’d be friendless at this point in my life. It’s sad but it’s good to know it’s actually kind of common.

I feel this on a serious level. I’m 28 and feel like I haven’t made a friend in years. I’m also an introvert, but I’m very much so similar to a chameleon. I can tolerate and match to my surroundings, but only for so long before I need to go “recharge.” I think it all just has to do with how different everyone’s lives become when you become an adult. School, work, marriage, kids, etc. It all changed everything. I don’t have kids, nor am I married, but the majority of people I meet have both. I have a dog. 💁🏻‍♀️ Anyway, I hope you find yourself in more fulfilling friendships soon. I wish we lived closer (Illinoisan here!), I think we’d make great friends. 🙂❤️

Personally, I find it unhealthy when girls rely on their SO's entirely as their main (and often only) friend relationship. It's also SUPER common in women for this to happen. I know a lot of girls as well that, when they break up from their SO's, suddenly they find themselves very alone and unhappy and desperate, which again, is extremely unhealthy. Not to say that you're necessarily going to break up, but you can never predict the future, really. I've always had my relationships, and my friendships, and I maintain both. I still adore my SO's, but a balance and a female dynamic in your life is essential in my opinion. That said, making friends as an adult is hard, so I can understand why you would just lean on your SO for friendship support.

i feel this. i’m 22 and still have the same friends from junior high (i love them but i just think it’s weird that i haven’t made another best friend since then lol)

Sarah, its like you climbed into my head and said all the crazy thoughts ive had in my head since i was a kid! I wish it was easier for us adult weirdos to meet new people and sustain a friendship. I feel this in every fiber of my being! Thanks for this.

Holy wow. I feel this 100%!

Ditto! You're hilariously relatable in the way you overthink meeting people/making friends.

We wouldn’t be friends. Only because I’m equally as awkward. Making friendship is so hard. A majority of my friends are my husbands friends.

I feel this so much, and I've only become more introverted and solitary as I age. Sometimes I miss the closeness of friendships that have lapsed but over all I've come to terms with this.

I really want to start a program for men and woman in their like their 20’s- like maybe it be like a camp. And you stay their for 2 weeks. You still go to work everyday or do all the normal things you do. But everyone eats together and hangs out together and it creates you know- friends and community. Would any of y’all do something like that? But people would have to you pay to stay for two weeks. That would be the only downside.

Bro.... i was JUST thinking about this... and then i open up youtube and BAM..... 👀 the universe is messing with me at this point.

I think I'm very similar to you, and I've just decided that as an adult with a job and responsibilities it's nearly impossible to invest the time to get to that comfort level to be "best friends" with a new person. I barely have time to maintain my current friendships, I don't have it in me to invest the necessary effort to develop new ones, especially being a shy, awkward, introvert. Even my very close friends now have a hard time understanding that I need to withdraw myself when I'm struggling with things, so I can't imagine having to explain that to new people when there are sometimes weeks at a time where I can't bring myself to have real conversations with someone.

I relate hard to this though.. and So one of the things that stood out to me in this video was when you said “I should be better”. This reminded me of my first (and favorite) therapist Ive ever had, because she told me that I am “should-ing” myself. She told me to avoid saying “I should be ‘this’” or “I shouldn’t be ‘that’”. And it truly helped me and made me realize how unhealthy my mindset was, and Idk I thought maybe you could take something from that too.! It just shows that, exactly what you said, we are who we are and we can’t form ourselves into a mold that doesn’t fit. Anyway, Love you Sarah ❤️

giiiiirrrrlllll this is something I’ve been struggling with and I feel like you just spoke words from my brain. I have absolutely no idea what people do when they hang out or where people meet.... I do not have a single friend from my high school years that lasted into adulthood and now I feel super lonely a lot. my first real friend that I made as a grown up at work moved across the country so that sucks. I don’t know how to make friends and sometimes I don’t even know if I want to have friends because my experiences with it so far has been pretty negative. It’s so frustrating! thanks for making this video.

I’m on the autism spectrum so this is something I fear for my adult years. I’m sixteen now and I’ve definitely learned a lot from my friendships so far but it’s hard not to worry!

I can relate to this so much! It is so hard making friends when you're an adult. For me, i feel like i can't make friends because of my health. I'm chronically ill and always dealing with something and that has pushed people away. And the friendships I do have are superficial and not deep in terms of me opening up completely. My friend of 16 years from high school ended up betraying and after a friendship that lasted that long, I've had a hard time connecting with people again. Granted that friendship was always one sided and toxic so I'm glad it's over but man it is hard making and keeping friendships. This video was so relatable and so nice to know I'm not the only one who has a difficult time making adult friendships.

I relate to you 100%. I’ve been so self conscious, introverted, and independent for years that I’ve closed myself off and barely let any people in. I typically let social anxiety and depression get the best of me and tell me that I’m not nice, caring, normal, or interesting enough to be liked by anyone. However, I’m trying to push past that mentality and be open with others. It’s difficult to approach people, and the fear of rejection is often overwhelming, but in reality most of us aren’t that different and can relate to one another on many levels. We are all just human beings searching for appreciation and acceptance from each other. We all have fears, hopes, dreams, joys, aspirations, and something special to offer this world. We just need to find confidence in ourselves and put ourselves out into the world so the right people can see and love us for who we are because WHO YOU ARE IS GOOD ENOUGH. Much love to you and all the other wonderful subscribers.❤️

THANK YOU for this video, this sums up perfectly how I feel about friendships, and it's refreshing to know other people feel this way too

I'm 28 and I can relate to this so much. I have one best friend and 2 friends and that's all

Adult friends are so hard. I have a good number of like “acquaintance” level people but it is so difficult to be more open and vulnerable with someone. I think the things I’ve had the most luck with to meet people is volunteering. I help plan and host a STEM event for middle school girls every year and I’ve met people I have similar backgrounds and values with that way. Also making “friend appointments” for errands is great. My best friend and I a lot of times will go get lunch and then go grocery shopping after, it’s easier to carve time out for things you already need to do.

We met at a mall once years ago. I always fangirl when I pass the pic while scrolling thru my gallery. I'd be down to hang!! 💕

I totally have that issue. Where my focus is 100% on my partner and I end up neglecting my social life because I can get away with being introverted. I relate so much to you in this video Sarah. Thank you for sharing ♥️🎃✨

I can relate to this in so many ways. I'm an introvert, as well and struggle a lot with developing relationships.

I want friends in theory but then I think about if I have the time to grow a friendship. I also have lots of plans for hobbies and interests I want to pursue that overshadow making connections.

Oh my god. Hard same. I know this will probably get lost in a sea on comments but you do seem like the sort of person that I would love to be friends with.

I see all these comments and all I think about is how much technology has changed the way we interact or don’t interact with each other. We have become so comfortable communicating through text, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, or other social media outlets that we have forgot how to approach someone in real life and make a connection. I happen to be one of those people, I have no idea how to approach someone and start a conversation (in a bar or any other situation). Just have to find a way to break the cycle and I have no idea where to start

Wooowwwww I literally feel the same exact way. Like literally I think allll those same thoughts during and after hangout sessions. I don’t know if you have social anxiety, but I’ve struggled with it and still do. I’ve grown so much though since I started getting into spirituality and the law of attraction about 5 years ago. I’ve always been shy and always have been the same way that you describe. If I don’t know someone, I can’t just let them in. It takes time. The last friend I made was in 2015 when I went to massage school. She lives 5 minutes away from me and we still hang out (not super often because like you, I stay in my little cave) but we do brunch and communicate online. Anyway, thank you for sharing! It’s a struggle and you’re not alone girl! 💗

God this is so relatable. For some reason I always assume people I know already have all the close friends they need or want, and that I’m just a drag when I suggest hanging out more/inviting them to things with me.

honestly, i never comment, but it's so nice to know i'm not alone in this. I've been struggling a lot with it lately. Thanks :)

Totally needed this video, 100% relate !!

I love the setting, and I’m the same age and I feel the same way. There’s also the issue I have when my friends make other friends and it’s awkward because it’s a different dynamic when we hang out. I love meeting new people but I do get fomo because I have a hard time doing that and wonder if I’m boring and wonder if I’m being a good enough friend.

Thank you for this video, love the new set up...have a wonderful day 😃

I swear I relate so much to this video! I’m an INFJ and all the overthinking, internalizing and self conscious thoughts I totally get! I think mine stems from insecurities and caring too damn much what others think! I’m trying to learn to break that pattern of overthinking, anxious thoughts! I don’t know how to make friends as an adult either. I’m afraid to be my true weird self at my work and it’s discouraging cause they’ll never know the real me. Sometimes I have these moments in life where I let a little bit of the real me out and people show me acceptance and they laugh at funny shit I do but still it’s so hard to be vulnerable and show who you really are. Thank you for sharing this video you just gave the courage to comment on one of your videos. Your the bomb diggity Sarah!

I love this!! You being so open makes me feel like I’m not alone. I literally have all the same thoughts you do about friendships too! It’s so good to know that we are all a lot more similar than we think we are. 💕 much love

So so relatable. This is very much my experience also. When you said that when you are upset or sad you retreat, man, that is me to a tea. And often people around you don't understand this, they can't understand why you would want to be alone.

I thought I was the only one who felt like this socially akward is my worst trait

So relatable! I love when you branch out with your content like this. Your channel has a more intimate and genuine vibe for sure, that’s why it’s one of my favs (: and yes! The background here looks really nice for filming imo

Also thank you for being vulnerable on the internet this is very relatable content.

This is so relatable, I’m glad you made this video.

I'm so glad I recently found your channel! I agree with every single thing you said in this video. I completely freeze when I'm in small-talk situations. I always just wish I would fast forward to the deep and meaningful and weird conversation.

i relate to you so much and i’m so glad that i’m not the only one who feel this way!!!! thank you so much for making this video, and you’re really cool by the way, i would totally wanna be your friend c:

This! Explains everything so well

I have never related so much to a video topic. I agree 100% with everything you’re saying/thinking. I don’t have many close/best friends, thus why I hang out with my siblings the most. It’s just hard and I feel like can be a chore to completely open yourself to a stranger and hope that you have same interests/ideals/etc. and that they’ll like your true weird self. Thank you so much for making this video and I’ll definitely share this video 🙌🏽 also love this filming space 👌🏽

I really appreciate your channel being a part of my life. You make so many videos that I can relate to on a very deep level, this one included, and it makes me feel less alone and hopeless, thank you

Maintaining friendship is the hardest part Thanks for creating another video so real

I feel like I’m there for you by hearing you talk in this person, I totally sense that viewer/creator friendship:D We’re here for you, you are an amazing person, overthinking social situations is so relatable because on some level we all think that way :(, I hope things work out for all of us

So relatable! I am struggeling with both old and new friendships. With the old ones who have kids it feels like everyone is so invested in their own lifes and dont prioritize friends if they are not directly involved in the same weekly activities. And with the new ones it takes more work to get into that deep level of comfort than u are prepared to give almost. Im working on it tho. I also retreat to my boyfriend most of the time nowadays haha. I am happy u make theese kind of videos

This is the most relatable video I’ve ever watched. I’m 30 and I’ve always had a difficult time having friends in general. But as an adult it’s beyond hard. Even the friends I do have, I feel like I don’t truly connect with them on a deeper level. They are all great people, just don’t feel like they truly get me. I’ve never really had an issue speaking with people but the connection is rarely there. I hate how hard it is to make friends as an adult, cause I’d truly love someone that I could confide in outside of my family. Life is hard to say the least.

Honestly this video is so powerful. The fact that I never felt so understood before when approaching friendships is crazy! I’m convinced we all need to open up to this level... thank you Sarah!

I felt like I was hearing you describe me! I have such bad social anxiety, and I’m insanely introverted, so I tend to self sabotage myself with friendships. It’s so hard as an adult. I’m glad to hear I’m not the only weird who struggles. Thank you for sharing!

Girl, this video came up right as I was thinking of this topic this week! I actually made a Bumble BBF yesterday & have been talking to a lot of sweet people! I would recommend the app!

this is so relatable. thank you

Most relatable video I’ve ever seen omggg! I struggle with the same exact thing in that I’m always convinced people don’t like my personality. It helps to put yourself out there and meeting new people... Bumble BFF really helps with this!!

This video is so relatable. Thank you for sharing.

Everything you said in this video is literally me! I really struggle between wanting more friends and valuing my independence and enjoying my solo activities/hobbies.

Honestly just thank you for this

Thank you Sarah 🙂, I really appreciate you doing this video because is super relatable, I struggle with the same thing. I also feel most times, when a friendship doesn't work out, is because of me, I feel I wasn't outgoing enough, I start doubting myself, and feel I have to change who I am. So I really appreciate you talking about this.

I can't believe how much I see myself in you. I know what you said about this, but.. I genuinely think we would be good friends. I struggle a lot with being self-conscious and thinking that people don't like me or that my personality is not "likeable", or that I don't really matter so much in the sense of people wouldn't care if I wasn't part of their lives. I completely understand what you mean. It makes me feel less alone to know someone who goes through the same things, and although it may sound shallow (you have probably heard the same thing a thousand times already), I love listening to you because it's like we were having a coffee together, and it's a comforting feeling.

This is such an important topic that not enough people are talking about. Thanks so much for sharing this, and helping all of us weirdos not feel so alone ❤️

this was SO relatable. SO SO SO relatable, you have no idea. This has given so much anxiety, specially lately: I want to cherish my friendships but I feel so self conscious all the time and evaluate everything and its just SO hard bc Im constantly torn between trying to work on it and maybe Ill feel different or giving up and just be a super loner (which I kind of already am). Im so jealous of you being in a relationship bc Im single (for a year now) and I really want to meet a significant other but I really have no idea how Im going to meet ppl who could potentially be it. was that tmi? oh wel...

I can totally relate to this, going through the same thing myself! I think when we are genuinely comfortable with who we are the right people will come into our lives and stay and the others who may not get you/think you’re weird won’t matter anymore 😉

I have never related to something so much in my life. This was very well said

Sara, I get you honey!! Friendship is not mandatory or demanding. Its okay to grow out from people and meet new ones. Also its good to not be together for everything or talk to them about everything. Friendship is to have a good time and care for each other wellness without interference or sabotage. And also think that Friendships can be very needy or stressful when prople don't understand individuality in general. I personally think if you care about your friends, you'll let them be, its okay if they have different priorities from yours, this doesn't make people bad friends, and people who are interested in having a good romantic relationship and makes it a priority, its as cool as having friends or family or work as a priority. Its all about perceptions and getting along well with respective ideas. Sending Love and ps. Your hair is looking real nice!! ♡

This is my exact situation when it comes to creating friendships as an adult, and it also stems from really bad experiences from childhood/high school. Thank you for putting this out into the world. I needed to hear it.✨

ohhhh this video is too relatable but it’s nice to know i’m not the only one feeling this way

Dude! DUDE. Thank you 🙏 from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for posting about this topic. This has been such a struggle for me for a long ass time. Aghhh. It’s so cathartic to see that someone is going through the same thing. “Did they have fun?.. Am I fun?” AGH, same.

This video just explained my life! I can relate ssssooo much!!!! Thanks

I just feel 100% like you. Thanks for making that video! And yes, that video was helpful for me! For me I also think that most of the people are scared to get hurt. That's why it's hard to really open up and also to say 'Hey, I like you and I wanna be friends with you' like in childhood. Maybe also the other people you met felt the same like you and weren't sure if you liked them. And so there got a distance between you two, because both of you were afraid to show yourself vulnerable. Because you make yourself vulneralble if you tell someone youl like him/her. I don't know. Maybe that doesn't makes sense, but this is just a theory of myself because I struggle with this a lot. And then I try to tell people when I like them, just to make sure that they know, but I think many people think that's weird aswell. But thanks to you to be brave and open up with this topic!

Trust me, youre not weird. And youre definitely not alone! Im with you on that. I feel like i cant connect emotionally with a lot of people, even when i want to. Dont get me wrong, i can talk to a lot of people but its more on that small-talk/ acquaintance level but there are times when i feel like i could be close friends with certain individuals but it never happens..or even come close to happening. I start to wonder what causes that but cant seem to figure it out. Im sure we will all get through it though..and come across others who are meant to share friendships with us along our paths of adulthood.

Sarah, I totally relate to this! I struggle with this a lot. --I overanalyze myself after interactions with others too. I'm an over-thinker :( I think we'd be friends in real life, if we lived closer. We have a lot in common! I'm an introvert, I love horror, cats...and photography (I think you mentioned in a video you liked photography) and I think psychology is really interesting...So we'd have plenty to talk about. Thank you for being so honest in this video! It feels good to know none of us are alone in this.

100% agree with this title and the intro so far! Maintaining friendships is also so incredibly difficult. I feel like I'm always the one reaching out and hitting walls because everyone is on different schedules/don't bother replying and then I get anxious and feel like I'm a problem.

I totally relate to this! I’ve had a lot of awkward encounters meeting a friend of a friend and I’ve always been super shy and reluctant about meeting new people anyway so that just makes it all the more difficult.

We love and support you Sarah. Sometimes we just have to learn to bring our walls down a little bit. There's a lot of kind and genuine people out there. I know it sounds cheesy but the best way to make friends is to be one. Sounds like you are a very good one so just go with the flow.

I never comment on videos, but thank you for talking about this. This is something I’m really struggling with as I age, losing people because our priorities don’t align anymore, and trying not to feel so alone in the process. I tend to rely on my partner as we live together and I struggle with not burning myself but having energy to be a good friend. It’s good to know I’m not alone in this is thought process.

I relate so much to this Sarah. Good video

In my opinion you being unique is one of things I respect about you. I can totally understand where you are coming from. I think all of us hanging out could be friends because we are all weird and unique in our own way. We should use that as a positive thing being who you are makes you vulnerable but we support each other and accept each other for who we are. This video is helpful thank you Sarah I thought I was the only one

PREACH!!! Every single thing you said is exactly how I feel! I’m 23 and find it so hard to make friends. I always just assume that everyone hates me

I have never heard anyone else admit that they struggle with being ‘just friends’ without being best friends! I feel the same way! Thank you 🙏🏻

THIS IS SO RELATABLE. I'm 1 year graduated from university and I feel this so much.

Sarah. One: i love this background! Two: i legit struggle with making friends. I also am someone with like one real friend and i don't even have a bf nor like cats (so if i live to be 100 I'll REALLY be alone lol). But slowly what's been working for me is IG. More specifically, the IG metal community. I'm a metalhead and go to concerts all the time. So through hashtags and band profiles and concerts I've met ppl. Not to say we're bffs but I'm glad to say I've made 4 solid friends this way even tho it took about at least a couple yrs. What's my point? Maybe try to find an activity you do and either thru in person events or online connect that way with those in your area. Hope this helps. Shit. You and i could be friends.

This is one of the most relatable videos I think you have ever made. It IS hard to know when to open up to a person or when to hold back. Knowing if you are both feeling the same vibes can be a tricky balancing act. But if you read this comment, I just want you to know, I am on the complete opposite side of the country as you but when I watch your videos I feel as if I am spending time with my friend. You bring light into my life and even though we most likely will never meet, I wish only for the best for you. I hope this comment reaches you, but even if it doesn't just know you have a friend in Michigan rooting you on. :)

This is so true. I have come to notice that most people seem to not care enough to put the effort into being a friend or more so they only want you around on their time. If that makes sense lol. I made some good friends in college but it was hard to stay connected after we weren't in classes together anymore.

Girl same! the struggle!!

since it is so difficult to come across people who are on the same level as you, I definitely agree with your point about making sacrifices. a lot of people still seem stuck in the “high school mindset” of friendship... they aren’t looking for anything too deep or meaningful. and that’s ok! but it does complicate things. on the other hand, I have been known to struggle with feeling entitled to every aspect of the other person’s life - which is a problem. a little sacrifice on each side goes a long way when making a solid connection with someone 👍🏻
