So true! Loving youself is a key to happy life! I have a nice story. I had a teacher (an ex soldier) on safety lessons (a school subject in my country; about first aid, natural hazards and army) and everyone was afraid of him. He made our class make a dispatch at the beggining of every lesson. I just casually said on our messenger group I can do this. On the 2nd lesson I started, but I've realised he didn't tell us what to tell if someone is abscent. I haven't wanted to stop, or to complicate to not look stupid, so I've told everything exactly except number of people in the class. The dispatch in this form ended with "everyone is present". After I told that, he asked quite waspishly how many people are total in class. I answered, then he asked "so everyone is present" I've completly randoy answered "You know sir, of all people that came to school today, actually everyone is present with us here." Everyone was looking at me like😳, when he looked at me with expresion of soldier trying to analyze sth so crazy but with sense.Mist probably he realized he haven't tell us the dispatch if someone is abscent, so he told me normally to go back to my desk and then told us another version. I've become his favorite student also I got a task to rate first aid at the end of a year. My class was his favorite after this :D I can call myself a quirky person (very talktive individualist with a lot of different interests) and I'm the type of person that snooty people hate the most. I never suit people who are showing of their status to make everyone respect them. Usually they were groups of students thinking they are "cool". Those groups are acting like they're better than everyone and other people usually don't argue. Because of my type of living, I was never a part of any big group. That made me never learn so much to care about someone's social status. I'm proud of this story, especially because I acted so confidently, despite I was a complete loser in that time, who wanted any girl to talk to him. Still, I've never became skmeone's footstool or any simp. I just can't easy go against my will. Quite annoying when that weird loser who is the worst person in group doesn't give you, the "cool" guy any attention and treats you like you are not anyone important, huh? XD The only thing I care about is are they open-minded, how they talk. I'm myself and at the end it looks like wrong people don't want to have anything to do with me. You are completly right! Love yourself and you'll be happy. Good people will appreciate this and they'll stay with you. Have a nice day! :)

The last one, I think sometimes it's important to draw a line when it comes to certain topics. Example, my friend bashes people of my opinion but when I confront her about it, she thinks I'm all the negative things she says about people who think like I do. However, I found a person that is with her way of thinking, but I can actually draw a line with this girl because she's understanding. Sometimes, it's important to talk about those things, even if it sacrifices someone's respect. I agree that nobody should be judgemental.

These are some vailid tips. Still I do not accept a racist or sexist. I'd rather be alone then having to talk to people with such a dumb believe system. Been there, done that and I honestly don't see, why I should accept someone, who isn't even able to accept other people, just because they look different. Doesn't make sense to me.

I think the third mistake is the most important one. It doesn't matter whether we think the controversial opinion is right or not, but no one wants to be friends with someone who judges them over what they think (even calling them racist, homophobic, etc.) rather than understand why they think the way they do. It doesn't mean you can't tell them they're wrong, but be more open minded and ask them why first.

Just because I understand why someone is racist, doesn't mean I cannot take issue with it and either try to address it/get to the root of it and help them change it, choose to accept it, or just leave the friendship. All are valid options. I don't think you should have to be friends with anyone, let alone someone who has views your find deeply problematic. There is a different between being obnoxious and rude about a difference in views, and being gracious and curious but also clear in your honest thoughts and the issues with certain views. So I certainly agree!

It’s one thing to have a different opinion than someone on controversial issues like immigration, where you can argue about whether it’s right to grant people safety at the cost of stressing your own country’s economy. It’s a different thing entirely for someone to believe “these people are less than me because they are black/gay/trans etc.” that’s not a different opinion. That’s a fundamentally different sense of morality. If you can’t accept someone for the way they were born, then I’m not going to accept you I don’t care that somebody is homophobic because that’s the way they were taught to be. They can think for themselves. So they should learn to be a better person and understand other groups rather than insisting we put up with their hate towards them

Great to see you returning to Yt. These tips were pretty interesting and insightful on why people seem to struggle on forming friendships. I know people meme things like this, but it’s necessary as most people nowadays don’t know how to form deep, meaning relationships thanks to excessive use of social media and mobile devices. Hopefully, more people watch videos like these and seek help to learn these skills, so that their social skills will grow.

When you say "I don't care if you're a racist", I don't consider myself overly PC by any means but if somebody is being openly racist or some other big heavily sensitive thing that I'm against, I wouldn't care to know that person more generally. MAYBE I'd like to know why they think that way (ie, the "Tell me more") but the fact that they think that way would definitely subconsciously generate some judgement towards them I guess my question is "You're open to making friends with anyone regardless of their beliefs/actions/how they are?" and also "How do you eliminate the judgement that I'm sure 99% of people would have if you disagree on this big belief?"

5:19 idk, man. Seeing someone be in a conversation with a bigot and acting neutral about it is a HUGE red flag. He mentions how onlookers will perceive that choice positively, but in my experience, if you see someone who "doesn't mind if somebody is a racist, sexist, etc," it's an immediate turn-off from interacting with that person. Very few friends worth having want to get friendly with a racism-enabler.

I can see how you would think that outside looking in. But in reality, you wouldn't view the person talking to the racist as bad, you'd view the racist as bad.

All of these things can be improved upon by being more mindful of other people's perspectives. Just adding a little empathy to your interactions can go a really long way. Sacrificing your sense of self-importance to be a part of the whole of the interaction. Of course, you want to do this genuinely, not just out of the need for people to like you; so that you maintain a healthy expression of value in yourself.

I stopped worrying about it too much and just tried to have a good time. This works if you’re in a large group, and the general mindset for me is that I needn’t always contribute to the “fun”, just enjoy it. Then the jokes just come out naturally, and they’re not forced. However, in a small group, I’m not really sure what to do. I personally do the same thing, just enjoying the fun that the others provide, however I’m not sure if I always want that. So I’ll leave someone else to hopefully respond to this :) Edit: also don’t overthink, nobody is gonna judge a silly mistake, just laugh it off and it will be fine. This is important and I can’t believe I forgot to mention it

Use overexaggeration to your advantage, and make goofy remarks. For example: one of your friends says "that busdriver looked very angry at us", just exxagerate and say "yeah, he looked like he was ready to jump off his seat and beat us with his bare fists". They might overexaggerate aswell and say "I think he was ready to pull out a hammer" and stuff like that. Just make up some bizarre stuff, use your fantasy. It might lead to some funny made up stories about how the bus driver is an alien, sent to earth to elliminate you guys. (Girls really enjoy this type of humour btw) Apart from that, just learn to not give a shit. Easier said than done, but just practice saying and doing things that you want to say and do, instead of holding back. Be socially free. Joke around, show genuine interest in other people and laugh with eachother. Hope this helps. Best of luck!

That third one hit me hard

Your channel is seriously awesome. I always sit back with my thoughts pad and jot down the really, really important bits. But man the third reason, while being super important about most things, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Specifically the part where you said you don’t mind racists and sexists. You approach them with curiosity. To me, racism is nothing to be curious about. Sure I’ve asked myself “where did racism originate?” Or “why does one race tend to believe they’re better than another?” But that’s the extent of it. If some neo-nazi out in public is harassing another demographic, in my opinion, you don’t react with curiosity, you react by removing the person from the situation. I just wanted to know your thoughts on that. But as always, I love your videos, they’ve helped me immensely and I hope your day is going well.

Personally, I'm very prideful of my opinions on topics. And when I'm talking to someone who has a different opinion about a subject than I do, it's really hard for me to not ask them why they don't think like I do about it. And obviously it's hard for me to remain curious about why they view it. Hence deep relationship with person crushed. 😢 \
