26 Years Old And I Have No Friends (I have Social Anxiety)

Most of the reasons why i don't have friends at 26 years old is because of my own wrong doings and the social anxiety or thoughts in my head that tells me im just going to ruin someone's life again. this is a very emotional video

I hope you know that you're not alone in being alone and wanting to be alone. Hearing your story almost has me to tears and I'm only a few minutes into the video. Social anxiety has ruined my life. I've lost friends, family, and multiple jobs because of it. Your story is just too relatable to mine. I don't know you but I'm proud of you dude. If you wanna talk let me know.

[@eekwambus_5783]

I hope that comment made sense I felt like I was going to throw up when typing it lmao

[@mydigitalbrain]

thanks for relating. its very hard to talk about these things and it took alot for me to make this video. I filmed it like 3 times i wish i could take back everything i did but i cant. im not ready to talk to anyone about it but maybe one day im still grieving. im hurt and lost and just maybe i'll find the courage to open up but righ now i can't i just need time to learn and grow from this experience and i dont know how long it will take. it took its toll but thank you so much for watching. im writing this while im drunk a bit, tearing up trying to cope. i appreciate your comment so much you have no idea how much this means to me. take care of yourself

It may not seem like it but I promise you have the power to change it. I suggest you start listening to self-help videos here on YT. I listen to Jim Rhon and it's helping me to change my life in the best ways. There are others of course but just motivational videos in general. Maybe consider getting a hobby or trying new hobbies. That's the best way to discover what you may or may not like. If you're really good, you could even monetize whatever hobby you're into. Hobbies are great ways to meet new people btw☺️ Start focusing on your diet and physical health if you don't already. I suggest setting daily goals, small ones to start. Write down what you want to get done each day and do it. Start out with 2-3 things as to not overwhelm yourself. Lastly, I suggest you think about what would you love to wakeup and do each day. Something you'd do even if you wouldn't get paid simply because it makes your heart full and passionate. Maybe get back to school for it or learn a trade. Of course with this you could change your location once you make more money. Anyway I really hope this helps. You have more power over your life than you think. Best of luck and God bless ✝️🙏😊

I feel you, bro. The art of loneliness is a skill that eventually turns into self-love. Not having friends can be an absolute bitch, however, it's very brave to be able to open up to a bunch of strangers about it. It takes a man to admit when they have opportunities to work on, so good on you. Cheers

[@garretvietmeier]

It's the victim mentality that takes us hostage my man. I've been there, drank alcohol, low self-esteem when it came to talking to certain people, and having a depressed state of mind constantly because of negative self talk. It's a cycle that needs breaking and professional help is needed at times to get through. Hang in there man, I'm with you on this!

[@rzy4701]

were you able to overcome it?

[@dumbgirl8]

You'd be surprised how many people feel the exact same as you right now, me included. It can feel a bit intimidating to make friends in your 20s but it really just comes down to being open to people and giving them a chance. Don't overthink it too much. I think it's just a normal part of life to experience phases of loneliness especially with how everything in society is. Even if you can find one person you feel comfortable talking to, just know that we all make mistakes but that does not negate you from forming a new friendship. Life is short and we're all learning so cut yourself some slack.

[@mydigitalbrain]

Yes our 20s can be stressful and full of surprises. It’s easy to get anxious without reassurance. But it will get better as time goes on like you have stated I just have to find it in me to grow past these issues ahead

I’m 36 and when I was 25 I went into a humiliating downward spiral and destroyed every single good thing in my life. To this day I don’t understand how something like that could happen to me. My life is good now, but I am still damaged from feeling that I can’t completely trust myself. I have also struggled with friendship, and ultimately decided that I am just a loner. I have a lot of happy, comfortable moments alone.

[@michaellemmon4388]

Really appreciated this especially since I’ve also been struggling with being alone. Often It feels like it would be easier to just accept being alone rather than to change my situation. Making friends is hard, almost impossible in my experience. I also basically have 2 friends and have distanced myself from them more lately just cause I don’t feel very connected with them and feel like they care for me that way I care for them. Anyways I hope you get some new worth while people in your life. Even if they aren’t friends immediately it’s great to just be around people you respect even if you don’t consider them true friends. I have a group I take psychedelics with occasionally and i couldn’t appreciate them more even though I only see them a couple times a year

[@mydigitalbrain]

I’m so happy some of you feel the same, it’s hard to have adult friends in this era where most of us are isolated or mentally damaged. I hope there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for some of us. I’m not really depressed , like just seems empty with my friends but maybe that’s the past forever now and moving on is just part of later adult hood even as I’m 4 years away from my 30s I feel that this is going to be the norm. If you don’t feel a connection then maybe it takes time for a connection to be formed. It is great to be around people who respect you. Don’t mess up your friendship with the 2 good ones you have. Value them because I didn’t and I wish I did. I’m tearing up a little thinking about it.

[@healthjay4253]

Our situation is somewhat similar, I’m 26 as well & I live with my mom & I pay half the rent. I do stress out & I don’t recommend anyone stay with their parents as long as I have tbh. Most of my friends from high school are gone from my city & the ones that are here I just don’t hang with them anymore. I’ve never really been an alcohol drink & I’ve never smokes a lot of weed because my mom doesn’t want the smell coming in & out of the house. Ive always just hopped from Job to Job ever since HS lol I’ve always been a loner for the most part, I used to be addicted to gaming but I ended up breaking away from it eventually. But yeah you’re not alone bro. We just have to keep taking things a day at a time. I look back on my life & wonder if I had just did a couple things different my situation would be better. But ya know one thing about struggle & hardship, it makes you stronger I think, in a way it makes you better. Just gotta keep moving forward until we get to where we want to be.

[@abhisheksoni9609]

I have also social anxiety when I met someone I feel unsecured

[@CloudandZack1st]

I'm an introvert, also have social anxiety in a specific sense, and I only have two friends. We are so close in fact that if I needed a place to stay at 4am, they wouldn't hesitate to open their door. The point that I am making with this is that when you do find that one or two friends, it makes up for for having 100's of acquaintances. But I also am very close to my co-workers in that some are almost, if not, family. I found that being around the right people is what matters. People who have manners, stands up for another, has moral and ethical values regardless of religion. Even the bible says bad company ruins good morals. Just remember that even if you don't have friends, there are ALWAYS people who NEED YOU whether you know it or not. That's the only reason I'm still pushing forward.

[@kayon5388]

I have had social anxiety most of my life. I am much older and would not mind writing to you. I am a former foster mother. I cared for rise kids also. They are the kids that have aged out of foster care. I was their supervisor to help them grow up and be adults. They had been moved around so much that they didn't know how to live. Now I don't watch any kids, teens or adults. You are the only person that can make your life the way you want it. I always told the teens to Get back to basics. What is it that you need to have to live? The basics... I have gotten to the point where I stay home most of the time. I don't like crowds of people even in the grocery store. It sounds like you were depressed. Depression can cause people to do things that they wouldn't normally do. I hope that you find what makes you happy. Your young and we all do things that we are sorry for later. Your lucky that you have realized this while you are young. Most of us don't until we are much older, and then we really regret it.

I also have social anxiety and 26 but Ive been lucky that I have been able to preserve a few friends from highschool. In elementary school I was pretty social and liked by most people I knew but that's the thing. When year 10 came I stopped talking to people I didn't know and stuck with only people I did know. It surprises me tho, I have old friends going back to elementary messaging me wanting to hang out 😆. But I've become pretty neurotic since those days so I don't know If I want to expose that to people.

You are not alone with how you are feeling. More and more people like you and I are realizing the changes the world is going through, while the internet helps connect everyone it also makes us realize just how small it is and how each one of us suffers through similar things without realizing it. Take it day by day and find yourself something that you enjoy and that is for you and not because of other people because when everyone sees you having fun and enjoying your own company, they will want to be part of your world.

[@tytoalba605]

Me to at 37 hugs bro all I can manage is work and home luckily I got family. And I get it peeps move away or are also struggling with anti social issues and the issue with social anxiety is imposter syndrom when with peers and anxiety attacks without them. We either judge others as we would monsters demons etc or do so to ourselves. All we can do is learn as much about it for ourselves and write stress diaries to become self aware and improve by setting goals.

[@mydigitalbrain]

Yea social media seems to be a constant sess pool or damaged individuals, it’s a lot but I’m shifting through the chaos to see if something beautiful can be created. Maybe it’s all too lost.

I'm praying God gives you strength. Talk to him, he's always there and can get you through. Also, please forgive yourself for what's happened. Life isn't ever gonna be perfect but you're doing the best you can. Give yourself some credit. Also, maybe try apps where you can meet new friends. I've done that and it's turned out really well(Bumble BFF). Otherwise you can try out new hobbies or volunteer. That's always a great way to meet people. Best of luck and God bless✝️🙏

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

I've been to prison a few times. In fact I'm sched to go back, mainly because I like to do drink and do drugs. I try to look at the bright side of it that at least I don't have to pay rent but then I also loose my freedom to well drink and do drugs. It's a bit of a cycle. Ill go to prison, get out on good behavior, go back to drinking and drugs then back to prison, rinse and repeat.

[@brianressler569]

Everyone's got a different situation, but it is at least comforting that there are other people in similar circumstances just trying to get themselves together again. Hang in there man, you seem sincere, and like you are really reflecting on the things you took for granted before. I too said and did some dumb things, and pushed people I loved away because of my negativity, something is always wrong but the cause is always myself. Instead of blaming others, I should have recognized that I needed help years ago, but hey we gotta start somewhere, rebuild from the ashes. Take care man, I'm sure you will find your way as we all hope to. Also interesting parallel I too develop websites haha.

I found a common trait ppl similar to you, which is their eyes have no lights. idk if it's the result of living without friends or the reason why these ppl don't have friends.

[@jaynemarie81]

Don't give up! Sometimes we have to be doing the right thing and suffering at the same time to make sure it's GENUINE. It's easy to do good and get blessed, it's more of a test to do good and stuffer, but keep on going. Sometimes, when we have these periods of alone-ness, it's so we can seek the Heavenly Father and know ourselves better, and rebuild our lives. It's great that the financial success is happening, but as you said, there's more to life. Also, forgive yourself! We all make mistakes, covert or overt, but you have learned your lesson, and that's all that's required. You may even find solace with born again Christians (real Christians), as they are repenters, and often have darkness in their past that they have overcome and are living new lives. Maybe it's time for new community? I am 40 years old, but I met my current closest friend when I was just a few years younger than you, and she is more on my page than any of my old friends. You are not alone, brother. I have made mistakes in the past, but like you I have shown remorse and turned away from the old behaviours and started a new life. It makes for a great story!

For me, It feels like there's some sort of conspiration running against me, people can't tolerate the fact that I exist and come to considere myself as being someone. Many times people seems to avoid me at a extreme point. The most ironic part of It is that I'm not even average in looks - in fact many people (mainly my family) says that I'm a attractive guy. It comes up always someone tô say the countrary, but who I see in the mirror is someone way more handsome than I could hold up.

You need to forgive yourself. And accept that we all make mistakes and we learn from them. And by that we become better persons. So you already have done most of the work. Many people won't even do that.

[@DDDD17890]

And also..sometimes things are not you. But them. We live in a world of broken people. All of us. I am alone too. Many people around me that I see and talk with but no friends. Because I found that there are just very little true loyal honest people. Maybe this is your time to seek and find God. Because I remember being in my 20's and having no real friends. And later I did for a while but got social anxiety too. Worked through that. Lost the friends. Now 40 and basically alone again and I am starting to realize that God sometimes makes sure you are alone so you have the time and focus to seek Him. Otherwise you would have been too distracted. The question is though...are we willing to pick up a bible and get on our knees and go that road?

[@DDDD17890]

Oh and one more thing...from the perpective of a 40 year old who had been 26 too and who has thought at some points things were over too: Naaahhh boy, life has interesting twists and turns.

the impulsive thinking mostly comes from my adhd but ive tamed it a bit. i do have a video talking about how im overcoming it. hope you subscribe be safe out there

[@cainandabel7059]

When I see how bad people success in this world while the good people have it bad, then I think to myself what value does such a world hold anyway? Let them have it, let them have the world and all that is found in it, the hereafter is emptied of the breath of this world.

I’m 35 with anxiety and no friends either...I’m not making a KZbin video over it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Take time to appreciate the good in your life. We all go through shit. You aren’t alone.

[@djdimo_97official34]

I can relate to this, too sometimes feel so lonely, and when I try to make new friends I push them away because I like being alone even though I don't at the same time. I've learned that there are always new beginnings in friendship, the only way is up when you've hit rock bottom, be the original you. Be curious about people and put others first. I get all these from my hope Jesus though. That no matter how alone I feel God is my best friend that sticks closer than a brother. Love you, hope you doing well now. Other things that have stopped me from having good friends: - commitment issues coming from always changing friends throughout school. The only way I overcame this was by remembering that God never changes and that at this moment I'm called to love those in front of me. - lack of self-confidence causes me to put on a show to those at school and work that isn't me at home. Instead of this be comfortable showing your real skin and being yourself and you will make friends who you feel are actually yours not the fake act. -ego and pride. Always thinking that I have to be the one messaged and that I can ignore people and expect them go love me. Instead, as Jesus taught be selfless, yes taking the time you need to yourself but always being open to love and starting a conversation. -the desire for a partner. Yes, it did blind me from looking to make new friends and instead focusing on every girl. Sizing them if they are the right one for me instead of making true friendships with those right in front of me. -assuming how people will react to me. Not even taking that chance to show love and talk to someone because in your head you already assume how they will react in a negative way toward you. Instead, be curious and take the chance regardless, you don't see them again anyway even if it does turn negative.

Your story telling is good

[@chrisfoerster3258]

Work on your mind, produce a result, even if you are lonely.

[@mydigitalbrain]

i like that, thats a good idea

[@sargantfrosty]

Who knows, maybe that girl who said she doesn't like you anymore was just afraid of commitment.

[@amandasmith2486]

Me too.. 34 years old

[@eurolex2446]

This just broke my heart

[@mydigitalbrain]

Thank u for listening

[@eurolex2446]

@@mydigitalbrain Do you think that moving to someplace new could give you a clean slate? Maybe let you start fresh without the looming thought of “what i’ve done in the past could affect this relationship.” I feel for you. Thanks for posting this because it makes us realize that we’re not going through this alone.

not racist or anything but i didnt think black people had social anxiety they all seem so confident and social.

[@TerranceBhS]

Mental illness in our community isn't talked about too often, which leads people to either mask their issues or believe that their issues is just a part of their personality, branded as "it's just who I am". For social anxiety, it's incredibly difficult to speak out about it and garner positive support because to a lot of us, at least from my perspective and experience, it shows timidity, lack of self-confidence, and inability to stand up for yourself - all negative personality traits that will get you picked on, ostracized, or abused. Therefore, as much as possible, you have to fake your confidence to avoid being "the easy one to get". Writing this out, I'm sure this mindset applies to all races suffering with social anxiety, but in the black community, the consequences are that you don't get accepted, you get picked on, and people's tolerance of your presence becomes really low, leading to anger and frustration towards you. So in short, don't have social anxiety as a black person, especially as a black adult man, since your own kind will be the first to get you out of your shell by tearing you down emotionally and physically.

You can be an entrepreneur, you must learn the ropes, trust your intuition, and make connections with individuals more powerful, richer, influential, etc, than you. Good luck.

[@icam1591]

Also stop worrying about relationships be you initiate conversation and people will eventually warm up to you

[@mydigitalbrain]

i agree with you this is good advice

[@Kevin-cg7qk]

Sometimes God will purposely leave you alone with no friends because he has a plan for you and he doesn't want other people getting in the way or tainting you. Take it from someone who sat and ate lunch alone everyday in front of half the school.
