my social life living alone in nyc at 21 | friends and staying connected

[@Hunter357mag]

I've been living alone for quite some time, and I have to make the effort to connect with people. It can be easier to just stay in, but that isn't healthy. Balance is key in everything. Thanks for your perspective!

[@marcosricopeng]

it's all about balance - thank you!

[@christianWilliams-pc4jn]

​@@marcosricopeng just a suggestion for you... You should get Loki this cat toy that I discovered for my cat she's obsessed with it. I got mine at Walmart but it's pretty popular you can get it anywhere it's the stick thing with the feathers and the string on the end. You wave it around and they go crazy for it. Cats have very strong hunting instincts and because you don't let your cat go outside (for good reason being in New York City) you have to stimulate those natural instincts of his or else he will be miserable.

[@markhickey3590]

I feel you. I lived alone for many years in Berlin. I was ok with it, because I reached out to other people sometimes. But I know it can be hard for some. Be blessed.

[@otberbur]

This video was very well done. It conveyed its message effectively without the need for either constant repetition or incessant yammering by the content creator. (Here less talking definitely conveyed greater impact.) And the cat, which provided an outstanding performance, was clearly having a really good day.

[@ola_swiderska]

seeing someone at my age living my dream makes me so jealous but happy at the same time cause nowadays it gets harder to settle on your own. wish i could be like this one day:( love your content, take care:)

dude no one is living the 'dream' ever. people aren't satisfied because everything comes at a cost. this guy was to work and probably doesnt get good pink clam or doesn't have time to entertain a whore willing to suck him

[@JustABoy98]

Don't be jealous those people have worked day and night to achieve this , we will also achieve this just don't give up 💓

[@idunnowtf12]

Definitely love this format! Your vlogs are so chill and inspiring! I think Loki lowkey misses you too 😊

[@marcosricopeng]

appreciate it! And he only misses me when his belly is empty lol

[@eddieagui1554]

​@marcosricopeng met any fine ladies bro?

[@alleyesonjulio]

living alone as introvert, as I am maybe dont bother at all.. but the missing thing that I feel is connection or communication... because connection is really important to build work in the future

[@marcosricopeng]

absolutely agree

[@Useryuic]

Living alone isn’t easy but I don’t even have 2 years in an USA apartment In the Bay Area and they can’t keep me, and prove to me USA is worth something to me. I’m moving , the USA is too suspicious 😒

[@rbsd952]

I definitely felt a little lonely when I first moved to NYC. I've made a friend at the gym in my building. Love your content as always. 👍🏾

[@marcosricopeng]

it's always hard in the beginning but it gets better over time!

[@anyinwin]

i love this! building friendships is definitely a huge thing to navigate when you grow up, and i love how you talked about it in this video. also kitty cat !!

[@mr.erikchun5863]

when you're grown there are no 'friendships' everyone you come in contact with will determine if they'll pretend to be your friend only if you have a use for them. men do it with women if they can spread their legs and women do it with men if they can provide. Coworker will find people that will help them promote or get better position and raises they dont deserve. its all a game go and play it like everyone else

[@hazel.02]

@@mr.erikchun5863there’s truth to your comment but transactional and emotionally meaningful friendships can coexist

[@beazleylaw]

Telling the story without words. Your video shows that can be done. I spent my early years living out of suitcase, so I can relate to your journey.

[@deshungrant31]

Love the video bro! Living alone for me is very lonely but watching videos of ppl who live just like me is always helpful... After having a massive stroke 2017 life ain't never been the same but I live thru videos like this..love from Atlanta ga ❤️

[@marcosricopeng]

you've got this!

[@jamjam099]

love it. Living Alone is Great

[@tomyoung2935]

I really enjoy learning how other people spend their days and nights. Especially young and ambitious people like yourself. Like your format very much. Keep those vlogs coming.

[@toongphisit248]

Watching this vlog reminds me of the movie called The Net (1995) starring Sandra Bullock where she got her identity stolen because she worked remotely and no one know who she was. And Hi to Loki. Also, I will be visiting NYC to count down at Time Square the end of this year.

[@jkcameron-xj4wc]

Fun video, high energy and amiable. I too live alone in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. It's a splendid life.

[@federicoeveza9656]

Welcome to New York City. I’ve been living there for so long too. Enjoy your stay or study in the Big Apple. Mamhattan is the best place to be. Just be safe , it’s a different world now in Manhattan.

Greetings from a new subscriber in L.A. Very cool video. You seem like an awesome guy. You have so much life and so many adventures ahead of you. I'm quite a bit older than you and I live alone currently. People ask me, "Don't you get lonely?" Actually, I don't because I am a very active person, covering events or road testing cars for an automotive website I write for, traveling, checking out new restaurants as a foodie, and hanging out with my amazing group of close friends. I think living alone can be beneficial at times when you have a busy life and can use the alone time to decompress. All the best!
