Why Having No Friends is a GOOD thing

[@AliShabirFazli]

You can be alone and not be lonely.

[@namelmao4231]

You can but its hard Unless you like it at all times

[@princealmighty5391]

But isn't it up to us doesnt a genius learn from everything like they dont do drugs or smoke weed but they dont take their life seriously but they respect elders have attitude sometimes towards others and class clown type of guy but not evil intentions and makes fun of you even if you dont like it but doesnt bully you and encourages you to learn from your mistakes like says things like if you dont have a plan when you are 23 you are dumb but that being their opinion but still encourages you in their own way is that a good or bad guy

[@badraUmera9804]

True....

May God bless you and be with you. John 14: 21 He who has My (Jesus) commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. John 21: 24 This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true. 25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written. John 7: 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “[g]If anyone is thirsty, [h]let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From [i]his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

having no friends is really good at times, but it also gets extremely depressing at times. Have yet to meet people with the same interests, and mindset as me.

Real talk

[@gmr9265]

when u have a project that you are focused the thought of loneliness doesn't even cross your mind..I consider being alone a blessing of solitude

[@valmercado4682]

the thing about friends is that its hard to find real good kind people , most of my friends have been fake, envious, only contacted me when it was good for them or they needed something..

[@TheIslandryder]

Val M yeah and you with out even knowing it, probably are attracted to those types of friends you complain about. Its almost like girls complain about the nice guy that they want but they some how sleeping with the non nice guy. .the irony. Just a thought.

[@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335]

[@Hi-uv7nn]

[@JoseSanchez-bp7xz]

[@60wwediva]

its not hard to find good people we want to befriend the people we WANT to be around and overlook people we deem to be losers if we were all open minded enough we'd have good people as friends. think about it

[@brend1800]

Honestly I'm alot happier having a very low social life really makes me happier as I'm not attached to others issues constantly

[@olivianuuyoma334]

Having no friends is just super great!, it will give you enough time to think about more important things, it prevents you from being influenced by negative energy from others and let you be your self. I'm more happy alone than with friends.

[@wesleycristman3278]

The ability to recognize "associates" from real "friends" is a priceless ability....work on yourself and you'll eventually replace a mediocre circle with a great one

[@Eis4Electric]

James French haha, I can relate on that one. I went to Sydney in 2012, and I'm happy I got to visit and explore Sydney, however I found the citizens there to be a very unfriendly and clique like. No one apart from my fellow hostel dwellers approached me to start a chat or anything.

Very well said brother. I`m a military man and have recently been transferred to this very remote place in India. Forget about a girlfriend or friends, there are barely people here to talk to, but i have taken that in my stride and have started to grow. Got into writing and designing my own website, and very soon I shall be coming up with a new book too. One more thing however i`d like to add to what you said, is that we must bring out happiness within ourselves, and that will draw people to us. Neediness and sorrow is never good for making friends or long lasting relationships

I have very few close friends , I rarely watch TV and don't have a smartphone . That way I can spend most of my time on building a great life . I can feel that I really grow mentally and spiritually because of very few distractions . I feel great most of the time . Everyday , I focus on things that I have and I am very grateful because I am fit and healthy , have a roof over my head , have food on the table . I know there are millions of people who are homeless or have to go to sleep at night , hungry .

I choose to have no friends. Sometimes it gets really lonely, but other times it feels good. It's better to not feel mentally drained at the end of the day by "trying" to hang out with people and hear negative, gossip, lies. It's difficult to find people who want to relax, care, and be genuine in life.

[@CompilationExtraordinaire]

Honestly just stop giving a Fuck about peoples opinions. When I started doing that I worked out alot more went on two dates, read through the batman comic series just enjoyed life... starting giving a fuck again, and everything sucked again. it might be hard but just try to realize when your over caring about others opinions and slap yourself or whatever you need to do to get back on track. when you dwell on things like opinions, or try to align your opinions with others just to fit in. people consider you weak and therefore do not want to deal with you. your goal as a person should be to improve yourself in anyway possible and act indifferent socially. Honestly just try this and people will impact you emotionally alot less, and you can truely be happy. also meditation is super helpful!

[@bjoernbertges113]

Compilation Extraordinaire copied this comment and put it in my notes. Looking st this every time I'm worried what someone thinks. Today is the first week of school and I will try and just not give a fuck. Friends are overrated as hell lmao.

It took me years to love myself without friends. I used to hangout with a group “friends” to make myself looked “cool” like them, but it turns out its not worth the price. Obviously we don’t have nothing in common so I learned the hard way....Don’t be in wrong crowd, be you, do what you love and one day, you’ll find the right people who are truly supportive!❤️P.S, thanks for sharing this video!😊 very helpful!

[@foekist7312]

When I was 23 my best friend was murdered. He met a woman in a nightclub and after a period of time; they kissed one another. Her brother seen this and along with four of his "friends"; jumped, kicked and jumped all over my friend's head. My friends parents had to turn off the life support machine. He was buried on his 26 birthday; which fell on Mothers Day. He had 5 A-Levels and 10 GCSE A stars. A gentle soul with the looks of a young Keanu Reeves. He had the world at his feet. I locked myself away from the world for years. Smoking weed everyday and drinking far too much as well; trying to mask the pain. Some of my other friends I had tried to encourage me out, and albeit they certainly tried their best to get me out the house, they eventually moved on and I don't begrudge them. Life is short. What hurt me was the amount of faith I had bestowed upon them. To me a friend is someone I will love unconditionally to the end. I'll be there if it turns ugly and stay. I was taught to look for personality traits to help me define a character. If I saw you stealing from someone you know, then I knew I couldn't trust you. Talking about your other friends behind their backs, etc, etc. My point is this: if we make mistakes in judgement and let people into our life that will end up hurting us- that's our fault. Don't put too much into people all at once either. My definition of a true friend is unconditional love. This takes time to achieve. In many ways having friends is very much like being in a relationship. It takes time. You don't just jump in head first. Test people's character before you give them your heart. But don't let anyone hit you off with words that are reflective telling you that you don't need to have friends. You are the average of your five closest friends. Surround yourself with good people. Love and grow.

I'm a 16 year old and on Facebook I just see all these people and friends going out and having fun together and it just makes the fact that i have no social life more of an impact. I try to study a lot and like you said, take these opportunities to better myself but i cant get rid of the really lonely feeling and shit

[@LouisRaskin]

Jane-y G Get rid of facebook. It's a time-waster and energy drainer. Instead focus your time and energy on something you enjoy or are good at and practice doing that, a lot, every day. You can seek out groups that are involved in what you're doing to still remain social, but it's not the end of the world if you don't. Ask yourself the question "If I do this everyday for the next ten years, will it lead me to success or will it do nothing?" This requires an active mindset. Facebook and a lot of other popular things are all passive sources of entertainment that stimulate us in short bursts and distract from creating things. When you're working on achieving a goal that is also an obsession you no longer care about what other's think. You have a mission that you need to work on. What's your mission?

[@scoobydoo2178]

Dude just delete that facebook.Life will be much more interesting and stress free.Focus on your studies.Focus on your growth.If you do this You dont have to go looking for friends,because friends will come to you automatically when you become a success.

[@femaleenergy5515]

Jane-y G , Humans are naturally social beings. That is why you feel depressed. But, on the bright side, when you’re alone you can learn more of who YOU are. If you become your own best friend, you become a better, smarter and happier human being.

[@miguelpereira9859]

Quit Facebook. It's cancer designed to make miserabke and addicted

[@tknode3065]

Delete Facebook. You dont have friends so you do not need it.

[@lnm00996]

Some people are in your life for a reason and some for a season. I had a group of "close" friends, I used to hang around in my early 20s.Some I've known since childhood. I developed a chronic illness around 25 and those people who I thought would stick by me, like I did for them, are now all gone. Our decade long friendship long forgotten. My advice is find contentment within and achieve goals you set for yourself, rather than trying to live up to the societal belief that everyone most be an extroverted social butterfly. You would be lucky to find at most one or two people who you can count on in this life.

[@SpacecowboiKilu]

I have no friends due to 3 years of isolating myself and abusing drugs and alcohol. I recently stopped on my own although the lack of support in my life has made sobriety harder I'm getting through it on my own.

I am mostly in solitude and I notice my success (career and academic) grows. I went to an MBA meeting and realised how far I have become and confident with my inner self and strengths with whichever choices I make. I find that a lot of women (not all) become jealous and are intimidated by successful, strong women. They become unnecessarily harsh by gossiping instead of being supportive (of course, this is a wide generalisation and there are exceptions). My role models include Ivanka Trump, beautiful, independent and successful. And thank you for your excellent advice on books and other things - it reinforces my focus. I am different, I like to think creatively and outside the box, and happily converse and collaborative with others.

[@freakyfairie3467]

This advice is good. When I was a teenager I had no friends but I didn't know that at the time. I drew and my art was sold ... I struggled with friends over the years because they never asked me how I was but condemned me for focusing on my children. Now I am older I actually have just booted false friends. I am soooo comfortable with me... I have induced a lot of changes. No one wants to know me but I use that to develop even more insight like a fly on the wall. I don't miss the people who said they were friends. I enjoy the time alone and always think of any person who comes into my life for what they are... they want help or low level companionship ... people are not genuine... they want something and if you can't give them the low level companionship they can't cope. Better to have no friends than a false friend

@@Jofan614 are friends ever real friends who care about you at their expense? I think not. Therefore friendship is more of a thing that arises out of necessity like survival. Otherwise it’s just fake.

[@VivianaSilverback]

@@TheCuratorIsHere Friendship is a fictional concept invented by people pretending that "love and acceptance" and a "balance of good and evil" exists, when in reality it doesnt. People are only friends with eachother out of necessity, not love. Just look at animals. Lions in a lion pride aren't friends with eachother, they're only together to survive but they won't have compassion if one of their members dies.

[@bfranklin69]

I see in the comments that some need a friend because they're depressed. If you were to get a friend, would you be a good friend? I feel people forget friendship is a two way street (Not surprising bc when you're depressed, you tend to become very self-involved). If having a friend would help your depression, what would happen if your alone? If you don't have that friend? You start becoming a leech on this person, overly dependent on them to achieve your own happiness (at times the price of their own) because you're unable to be happy by yourself.

Thanks so much for your advice. I don't have any friends. I just turned 46 yrs old and it's hard make to friends let alone trust people these days even at my age. I'm at the point where I'm just like screw it. I don't even hardly have a close relationships with my parents and most of my family. I feel I'm better off by myself. So I'm doing me. I'm going to do the things you had mentioned on here like reading and focusing on my talents even more. Thanks again for your advice. U pushed me more to really try harder and focus even more on me and my health. I just had a surgery three months ago and I had been taking care of myself with no help. I broke up with my boyfriend the week of my surgery. He didn't do shit. No one had asked how I'm doing or even reached out. It's like I never had a surgery. When u r really at ur lowest point, that's when u know who ur real friends and family are. So I'm doing like u said, research on getting my health back and I'm doing me😉. Also improving on my talents and goals!

This guy is on point 100%. I'm homeschooled and I was not aloud to play or make friends with other children or teenagers and I was always so artistic and ahead in most subjects. Then when I moved I met a few people and I started falling in all areas and became depressed. I'm not sure why.

I find having no friends limiting, not liberating. I have control over my time with people and myself.

So i take that time instead to improve a skill i love (singing) and through this journey to improve my singing, ive improved a lot as a person and what was a life with really.. no goals or passion, has turned into the opposite, i now have goals and a passion, and its all because i have all this time to myself alone. Its really not as bad as people make it seem, you just have to learn to turn what you think is a weakness, into a strentgh.

More power to you because you obviously know what work and doesn't work for you. You're are not alone living your life without friends. I had more friends when I was younger.

I'm tired of flakey friends, who only want to come around when I'm hosting a party or cooking something. No friend means no drama

[@davidbolha]

[@TheMarkoPoloProgram]

Great video man! I agree with you. I'm 20. Turning 21 in November and just realized last year I should hone my crafts and learn new skills during the times I'm alone rather than be depressed about it. One book I'd really love to recommend is "The Like Switch" by Jack Schafer. It delves into communicating and socializing with people. Here's one thing I learned from the book that changed my interactions with people forever. People love talking about themselves. Instead of talking about yourself get to know the other person by asking questions such as their music interests, hobbies etc.

I think it's time for me to return to solitude, but sidenote, people (friends etc.) can provide perspective that help you in the grand scheme
