The Secret Power of Friendship

[@manjunathdinaker5771]

Reminded me of an old quote: "Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend". Thanks Simon for those simple yet powerful words of wisdom. We all listeners owe you.👍

I love this perspective-friendship really is the overlooked key to well-being. We invest so much time into improving other areas of life, but being a great friend requires just as much intention and effort.

True friendship is underrated and rare.

[@davidfischman2256]

I found the friendship formula is 100-0. I give 100 percent to my friends (and wife) and I expect 0 in return. If I get something in return, great, but I expect nothing in return.

[@puppz322]

Wow. You right

[@lasshrugged]

I go for this approach as well.

[@narainsrividya341]

So hard to follow but if you can definitely great result. 👍🏻

But the 100 shouldn't be taken for granted

We often focus on professional success, but true fulfillment often comes from the friendships we cultivate. It’s amazing how friendship can be a bio-hack for mental health and overall well-being. It's a reminder that we can invest in the relationships that truly lift us up.

As an adult, with NO Real friends, just a bunch of acquaintances, I think this conversation strikes a universal and timeless chord. Why in a time where technologically we’re “supposed” to be so connected yet people feel so lonely! Friendships in adulthood are always in flux. And part of the reason is because we’re afraid to be ourselves, or we can’t be ourselves for fear of being negatively judged. So what ends up happening is we put on a facade that compliments the other person’s expectations of who they assume we are, which leaves us feeling emotionally empty, this feeds the LONELINESS. Just the other day, I saw a documentary about someone no one would EVER suspect could possibly feel lonely, and yet because of the superficial social environment she found herself in she was EXTREMELY lonely!! Her name was Marilyn Monroe…

Tuning to nature helps be a great friend.

[@lovaleriemullins5813]

Imagine super-energizing friendship into a community mindset, whereby members self-govern from a place of friendship and service to others. The only organized political structure is a community service action plan. IMAGINE. I'll facilitate that all day long. Let's go.

Oh i will never choose a meeting over a friend, I run a national management role with hospitals and my friends mother passed away last week. I flew in the same day and took the day off. My job will change. My friends will not ❤

He's so right, but the hook at the beginning is a little lame. The reason there's no industry for your friends is because we don't try to SELL something related to friendship. That tells me that we care about friendship, as we're not trying to monetize it. There's something sinister about monetizing all aspects of our lives.

Do not be good because they are your friends be good to yourself to who you are and do not expect anything back. If you expect something back u ll get hurt for sure and this is not easy to live without expecting anything back from people.

“Friendship is the ultimate bio hack” ~SimonSinek

[@suprajakpop]

It's not possible to have such friendships through study sessions.. its got to do with the society, culture and collective thinking in the society.. there has to be empathy and care for a fellow human being.. if a society is full of people who compete for survival and have been living like that forever.. it becomes so rare to find such true friendships in that society.. its not a psychological phenomena but a sociological one

[@Goldenheart2911]

From my perspective, happiness is an inside job and when we do that job well and to the best of our abilities the positive results benefit those around us , including our friends and family exponentially as well.💛 The two questions I therefore have after listening to this clip are how does having healthy friendships solve all of the internal problems mentioned in this clip and is it fair to ourselves and others to expect, want or need them to do so?💛

Opposite sex friendships if you try to be a good friend, it is mistaken for sexual interest.

I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God.

Friendship existed in abundance before lockdowns. I think it's sad what happened, but most people don't seem to care.

[@macfanguy]

Please explain where you are coming from. I personally have better friendships after the pandemic, and appreciate them more?

[@heartofartichoke4340]

@@macfanguy oh that's good. I have found that most friends retreated in the pandemic, glued to their phones, don't want to leave the house. They loved being shut in (and having essential workers bring everything to them). Joined a local social group and they all joined due to the same problem. Sucks to lose friends of 20 + years. I'm in England it's been reported on a great deal here, def not just my situation.

[@nandu1770]

@@lyndaplancarte4895 yes man, Simon always seems to emphasise real friendships. He seems to have an easy time with that. But whenever, you try to be real or show vulnerability, people take advantage, look down at or ridicule you. So a negative feedback loop is formed. Simon never seems to address it, sometimes its sounds like he speaks only for the people who already have all those privileges.
