[@BriantheBrick]

You can have a lot of friends if you are outgoing. And when times are tough, your friends can help you get through. However, they might drift away, making you a Billy No-Mates. That situation is a double-edged sword. You have more free time because you don't have plans with friends, but you might be lonely, and loneliness could lead to sadness.

[@rodrigospaghetticonqueso1702]

A sad story living for my own ... I used to have a bouch of friends , in high school even before Pals used to tell me "How u have so much friends? I mean the guy that just passing by the guy that salute you", now i'm in my 20s but getting a strong and longer relationship becomes a heavy task, being honest to myself and according to my personal experiences I took wrong decisions and as of result of this sadly I lost a good couple of good friends, but anyway lifes goes on, i supposed.

[@inwhanoh5538]

As I am getting older, the number of friends is getting smaller. But, I am okay because I have a good relationship with my family.

[@alexminsk5899]

Thank you for this informative video and the discussion such a specific topic. I think that it's really cool that we have a bosom friends and our besties can share with us our sorrows ans joys, but if someone feels cool without any friends - it's ok too, because all we are who we are.

[@lilianatria2877]

These are tough times to make close friends. Being outgoing and talkative often isn't enough. People tend not to trust others and care about their own problems

[@victorhernandezbonilla8080]

Thanks for this wonderful video. I think having goods friends is not an easy thing. According to my own experience, you can make very good and close friends when doing the same activity, wether studying, going to university, being at the same sport team and so on. That is said, it can seem easy to make new friends when sharing the same activity but perhaps it's difficult to mantain that friendships throught time, since the same interests dissapear. Greetings from Spain!! By the way, I am looking for a friend to do an English-Spanish language exchange via e-mail. Is anyone encouraged?

[@juanjosecorreaarroyo34]

When times are tough you need to get through the situation. Your friends might help you. Some of my friends drifted away from me. I can't help doing the same when they don't talk to me. Billy No-Mates is a double-edge-sword, don't trust him easily.

Now is post-covid-19 era . Time was tough passed. We were getting through and We have learned more during pandemic . Pamdemin era has double ledged sword and make us adapt quickly. I hope I can make more soulmates nowadays instead of" Billy no mates"

[@relaxationclub3848]

Friends help us to get through difficult times in our life. I believe the reason men are struggling to make friends is that cuz they always busy at work

I never have any male friends or a boifriend in my life. I was so pessimistic about bois.. after reading or noticing many bad things about them.once my female friend told me like she only loves trusting and sharing her secrets to her male friends..i was shocked..

[@muminyksci1823]

as a boy, everyone ( or every boy ) in the world is different from each other. I think you shouldn't be pessimistic about all boys dear friend. we oughn't classify people that way as bad.

[@hiendungang3488]

[@cynthiareid6416]

Thanks BBC I think that struggling with a bad situation might get through through close friends. Personally, I had one close friend who told her situation and then gradually i shared my personal issue to another friends from different places and they told me another perspectives. I am impressed because the number was 5 related to the study.

[@bbclearningenglish]

Thanks for sharing!

The loneliness makes me suffer a little, especially on Sundays and holidays, but I'm not capable of changing the situation...

[@maximaktanko]

When you have a lot of friends, that's a double-edged sword. I mean, many friends doesn't equal many good and close friends. You can have a 2 hundred friends in some social network, but feel loneliness. If you gonna be honest, you don't chat even with half of this list. It's fake communication, just adding for quantity
