I Have No Friends | The Glow Up Grow Up Series Ep. 2

[@theresematthews5705]

Im 56 next week. The last friend i ever had when i was 16. As usual when you are with family you have to move houses etc. Being alon is great you learn alot in your life. People online its great knowing that you are not alone. Things can be hard sometimes for me but i always do things that make me happy.🙂

[@gastonhitw720]

I'm 23 and I have no friends too, I fell so sad and angry at myself, I feel I don't belong anywhere and I feel my life has no meaning, I'm so desperated to get friends!!! it's crazy cuz you look so composed and I'm a train wreck, I can't even say 2 things straight without stuttering, my case is pretty much the contrary to yours in terms of the social media, I actually don't even use it, haven't used it since I was 19, but that hasn't make me a person who goes out and connect to nature, its making me be even more of a loner 😭😭

[@kubrabozdag3084]

I'll be 22 next month and I feel you. And the more I put effort into making friends, the worse it gets, the more isolated I feel. idk how to break this cycle.

[@gastonhitw720]

@@kubrabozdag3084 damn bro it is just hard, for now I'm trying to improve myself, for example, doing a lot of exercise, improve my overall beauty, finding my style (mine is emo/goth, which I was never able to be when young) and also putting more effort into social media, like using more instagram and tiktok, trying to gain friends there by uploading videos about myself, just like any other beauty (male or female) does, that way I think I'll increase my happiness and my ego, then I'm gonna try to find the people I like the most and the people I identify with irl, emo/scene/goths/metalheads and so on by going to places where they might go (concerts, events and so on) I think this one should be the most important one, just going outside and have conversations, maybe it doesn't work for you because the people you are trying to befriend with don't go with your style or maybe you can make a good first impression but can't keep up the rhythm after that, it's exactly my problem too, I mean those are my plans and I really need to do it quick, the quick I do it the less time I lose, it's been 6 years of loneliness for me, maybe if I'm llucky I can enter right away into that world and live 6 years in months, you need to believe in yourself!! the most impotant step is to DO EXERCISE! TESTOSTERONE IS KEY!

[@DesertBean]

Growing up along side you, You opened my eyes to how badly I was doing overall. The few people around me have noticed a positive change, And I’m happier. Honestly, and I mean it, You have helped me a bunch. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

[@dango.creations]

I’m happy that my story and project has helped you! I really appreciate you and your kindness. Thank you

[@margosoruchan8582]

Your videos really help me feel better. I've been having this strange situation with person and I couldn't let go of it. I have been feeling guilty but at the same time feeling like it is not really my fault that our friendship with that person ended. Your thoughts and the way you expressing them are very comforting for me personally. Thank you for this content.💓

[@mindbr0ken]

I hope you're successful in your endeavors!!

This series has been really helpful, seeing other people going through the same stuff has been helping me get my sh/t together, a couple months back I was on an average of 9 hours screen time but its been drawn back to maybe 1-2. Its actually insane how much time we spend on technology. Actually getting back into doing things has been eye opening into how much time we actually give up to this. Its so true how it can be isolating though, taking a step back from this kind of consumption when the way we connect with people is so attached to some kind of consumption is just, getting used to existing without that is a process.

This video speaks to me so much. I have moved to another country from my home country 10 years ago to be with my partner and despite meeting many many people over the years, I have no friends. As it is a popular expat country, people come and go and I try to stay in touch but when that is not reciprocated, it is very sad for me. It makes me feel like I have been used as a temporary friend while they spent their time living here and then put me back on a shelf to return to their old life. Making friends is easy but retaining them seems to be the challenge. I feel like I have been on a journey where I am learning to love spending time with myself and doing hobbies and things that fulfill me. I find that having time in solitude spent doing things that are meaningful to you is more valuable than filling your time with people that make you feel forgotten.

[@Abbeyssice]

This is what is happening to me. My depression came back ( and i have a suspicion that she never go) and i'm not in the mood of having friends. My last friends weren't the friends that i wanted ( i still think that they think that im joking about my mental health). I know how i'm and i know that now i have to take time for me.

[@TechOutAdam]

I've had a few friends of mine almost stop talking to me simply because I moved 1.5 hours away for a relationship. It was for her career at the time but keeping in touching a few times a week, and seeing them at least once every 3 months is good enough to make sure you're not forgotten. But man, friendships and relationships are hard to keep these days.

[@maytie1270]

I'm interested in a video of you discussing quitting alcohol

[@envision_embody_become]

Same

[@envision_embody_become]

Interesting that this video found me today. I was thinking about this exact topic on my (of course solo) hike today. I, too, moved states away from my solid circle of friends and family. After bouncing around different circles and friends in a new state, four years later I have found myself alone most of the time with the exception of spending time with my partner on the weekend (and even that can be a lot sometimes) I’m not sure what it is, but people exhaust me now. More than ever before. I’m also sober now, which plays a huge part in not wanting to do things with people. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with spending copious amounts of time in your own company. In fact, I think more people prefer solitude and privacy than we recognize. Social media makes it look like the only way to be happy and content is through having friends and experiences. I feel like spending time alone is demonized rather than cherished and respected. Similar vibes to the judgment someone feels when eating in a diner alone. The amount of people I saw with a friend on their hike today vs solo hikers made me wonder, “what percentage of people actually prefer to be alone?” I still need to google that statistic. Thanks for the video.

[@emiliamuller6952]

Your videos have been such an eye opener and safe space for me. Love your videos!!

[@dango.creations]

Thank you! 🩷🩷

[@celinacytryna4841]

"I have no friends" thats something that I' ve been always saying to myself and I always felt bad because of it. Everyone around me have someone that they can rely on and turn to, And my siblings always had some group of friends. I always felt left out compared to others and always felt jelous. Now I am a little relived that not everyone have real friends and they are still happy and that its okey for me to just have my family and siblings around me and not having a group of friends myself. Also sorry for my bad english its my second language

[@estherstian]

u look so much like chloe from life is strange it is almost amazing to see you

[@dango.creations]

I think you're the second person to say that 😂

[@estherstian]

@@dango.creations even ur voice is similar to hers 😭 she died in the game so I'm going to assume you're her reincarnation lool

[@CHROMAKING46]

thank u Dangooo, u remind me of myself, greeting from Chileee

[@bloomingstays]

I’m so glad your videos got recommended on my page. This is such a beautiful journey. it was truly meaningful to hear feelings I empathize with so strongly be spoken about so bluntly. Very cathartic. So excited for your journey

[@dango.creations]

Thank you so much!

[@GODISCOMINGBACKSOON-f5c]

I hope you know God loves you and He can take all the pain your dealing with.

[@dango.creations]

I am a Christian, however, God does not take your pain away. He gives you challenges throughout your life in order to teach you lessons. If you ask God to make you strong, he does not make you strong. He gives you challenges to teach you how to be strong. God has given me a challenge to better myself as it’s something I want and asked him to help me do.

[@NastySaved]

12:12 was the insight I never knew I needed to hear!

[@NastySaved]

Your explanation reminded me of that Tame Impala song // Let it Happen. Gonna listen n’ reflect on the topic you brought to light whilst listening haha!

[@Boogerman9047]

Keep your head up, keep moving 👍 Life will kick your ass big time, 😂 in fact it will beat the crap out of you, main thing is getting back up. You can use this comment if you need motivation, trust me I know what's hard and you gotta be strong and I really mean this

[@Sydneyfc77]

Can we hang out I have no friends

[@lucio_a]

There's no such thing as building friendship after a certain age, so even after rehab I still hang out with the same ppl.

[@dango.creations]

It’s not about age at all! As long as the people you are around are not causing you to continue bad habits or behaviors and you don’t have to beg for them to appreciate you, then they are real friends
