If you'll allow me to give my perspective on the matter. It's something I've actively dealt with and feel like I can share my two cents on. There are multiple aspects to this matter. 1. Being vulnerable with family about your true feelings and getting them to understand your perspective without forcing it upon them. Share about how you felt with certain events in the past and how those made YOU feel. Don't impose anything on them or judge them. By opening up they will in turn also feel comfortable to do the same. To which you can then reply with comments of understanding. 2. Actively put time into setting up calls, or schedule fun activities with family. Even if they dont return the same effort. Take responsibility for the connection yourself. Food, activities all this stuff gets you to form a connection. Time is valuable and time spent together is creating a bond. 3. Really try to understand their situation and dont expect anything in return. If they dont reply to your message, if they dont put the same effort back. Your love should be unconditional, this doesn't mean they can push your boundaries but it's about emotionally not letting things escalate. 4. Avoid conflicts and arguments over tribal matters. Yes you might have radically different opinions on politics or the environment, lifestyle whatever. That doesn't mean you need to voice your opinion though. A wise person once told me. "Having an opinion doesn't equal voicing an opinion". Ask yourself what is the benefit of argument? What are you gaining and what are you losing. Unless the argument is about some important decision you're usually better off not having it. I learned this the hard way and have been in mad conflicts about trival things... 5. Keep cool and don't become heated emotionally, respect their options but still follow your own path, be attentive and interested in their lives. Hope this helps, these were my key take aways from last 2 years dealing with the same issue. My family dynamic has shifted from feeling isolated and disconnected to having close relationships with my parents and siblings ❤

This video is definitely not for me! But since I've commented on it, I'm sure the algorithm will suggest more. LOL I don't have ANY friends. I'm not lonely. I don't want to be around people. I like being alone. People expect things from you. I give enough of myself at work. Going home, closing the front door and listening to the silence or a little night music, etc. is so wonderful! I've always been a loner, and I like it that way.

It also helps to detach from oneself, from the ego. It's hard, but letting go of the ego's desires and attachments is attractive. Books like "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels helped me take a step back and learn to be more mindful.

Pls make videos about "Conversations to make friends into Close Friends" pls 🙏🙏🙏

Ironically enough, the constructive conflict was the breaking point with my ex best friend for a decade. Because it was one sided. I happen to have been doing exactly what the video mentions all these 10 years of friendship, but she instead projected her insecurities on me and accused me like "you are trying to hurt me", because I told her that her "I have hard time processing the change of pace of communication" (with those exact words). And she had the audacity to block me after all these years and all I offered to her. So, yea...nothing is given. But I need to point out there was an extra factor...her boyfriend. I rooted for them, but she never let me meet the guy (btw no danger of stealing him, I am not into men), but ever since she was with him, she changed and the message I got before she blocked me was as if he wrote it, not her. So...even if you try hard for a friendship and it does last for decades, don't take it for granted. It depends on the other person too and the people they might involve with.

It won't answer your question but I have the same issue and the only way I found is to give time to friendships. Some people were really friendly real quick so it made me feel great and I would get vulnerable and friendly with them back, only to realize that it was all fake. Now, even if someone gets friendly very quickly, I keep it at my path and I watch what happens. If the person is genuine then they understand and respect my slower path, if the person is actually manipulative, they usually get bored that I take it slowly and leave me alone at some point. It can be a bit hurtful to realize that someone was fake with you, but it's much better than getting vulnerable with the wrong person.

This video doesn't really explain anything about how to actually moment to moment handle a conversation with someone so as to become friends with them. I'm sorry, but there isn't a lot here that would help someone operationalize (think of concrete steps) making friends. Try watching Thomas Smithyman's videos on KZread about self disclosure and social curiosity. The one on flirting is pretty good too.

Most of these tips are centred around extroverts. None of them would be suitable for introverts who don't like to hang around with strangers making small talk. I've been lucky enough to find an extremely small group of friends through experiences where we've spent lots of time together out of necessity, then I've filtered out those who didn't fit into my values. After 44 years, I've got many very very casual acquaintances who I barely ever see, and barely a handful of close friends, most of whom I also hardly ever see, because we live far away from each other, but the friendship picks up instantly whenever and however we reconnect.
