Such a good video Tosin. I find these so relatable. For the longest time, I preferred to have an "exclusive" group of friends but maturity and a lesson I learned in 2020 has thought me to be open to loving and serving people beyond my closest friends. I moved abroad 2 years ago and I have been so blessed with a wonderful community of new friends. A community where we serve each other selflessly. I have co-planned so many events, from house warmings to bridal showers, baby showers, hallelujah challenge watch parties etc. Sometimes, it takes sacrifice in terms of my time & resources but I don’t mind because it is a privilege to serve and be part of a loving, drama-free, mostly God fearing community. I don’t take it for granted at all. It also takes humility & self awareness to be part of a community. I had to learn that I'm not too big or too special to not be offended my people. Like Tosin said, I have made a conscious decision not to dwell on offense. There are some people I know will definitely offend me and I have forgiven them in advance 😀 What's most important to me is having genuine friendships and building a community. I still have boundaries and when people cross them I let them know asap but I don't let offense or gossip build up. I think of how most of us in my community are growing and our lives are evolving (marriage, jobs etc) and how by God's grace we will continue to be there for each other through the different phases of life. If you are relocating, or have just relocated, please don't isolate yourself. Lose your biases e.g "I don't want people in my business" (this is where healthy boundaries come in) or "I don't want to hang around this race or nationality" (huh?) Make friends, be open to loving people genuinely and best believe the love you put out will come back to you. A good place to start is finding a Church! People underrate this so much but that's a conversation for another day. Welldone Tosin👏🏾

This topic is so key even for those not relocating! Being teachable and open-minded will help a great deal in taking on these tips and applying them. Thank you for sharing!

Such a beautiful video Tosin . I moved to Canada three years ago and I am honestly still working on building good friendships, I had to let go of some friendships here because of values system and all, but watching this video now I will be more deliberate on building a rich life. Thank you Tosin

[@omosanyaomotoyosi3078]

Thank you! Needed to hear this , it has been such a struggle after moving to the UK.

[@aurianeazo4669]

Thank you for your video. For living abroad for seven years now, it has been not easy for the cultural shock and and the few experiences. But I hear you right, and I will put again your advice in practice

[@chimdiebubeorji]

This was very helpful for me. A couple of years ago, I moved to a new city because of marriage. Honestly, this was really helpful because I have really struggled with making friends. Thank you ❤

[@TemitopeOA]

My own is that you look so beautiful 😍

[@chinonye2]

Please can you share how you prep and execute your hosting with friends. A great video idea. Great tips

[@at_paix]

This video is excellent, Wisdom upon Wisdom

[@emmanuelhappiness3352]

Thanks Tosin ❤....this video is so insightful

[@Diary_Marylove]

This is good advice ❤ my first time here…

[@chidinmaeokpara]

ThIs is absolutely a rich video. We all need a community to serve and be served. Even if I'm in space, I'd always make valuable connections. I understand the importance and I'm intentional about it.

[@theniftymum]

This video is for me...I struggle so much with making new friends now that im getting older..Thanks for sharing

[@chinonye2]

I have a Neigbour who also hasn’t responded to my hello for more than 10 years. After the pandemic I decided that life is too short to continue. God knows I tried.

[@e.e1365]

Thank you for this video! I’m actually working on opening my heart to love ppl. I’ve been hurt a lot…. If you could pls make advice video on how to open up to connect when you have trust issues from betrayals in the past. Thank you!!

[@Talitha.Urenna]

Thissss!!! Right on time. Thank you❤️

[@winston0182]

Wholesome content. 🥳 The celebration chocolate is so funny🤣. Reminds me of me. If I’m buying you a gift it has to be worthwhile.

[@TheDosuFamily]

Omg….. this video is for me. I struggle making friends. Part of it is am shy, and I really don’t know what to say 🥲😢. You are very wise. Am learning a lot!

[@emeekanem4220]

This was really good to watch. I can relate to your secret Santa experience 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I make sure I gift well or don’t gift at all.

[@anneVee_]

So refreshing!!! 🥹❤️

[@Orisunmisola_]

Thank you so much Tosin for this, I have been struggling tbh, I’m always by myself since I moved to England. I’ll henceforth make conscious effort, God help me

[@oluwapololaelizabetholados2755]

Thank you!! Came just in time

[@mwenyamakasa1664]

Thank you this video.. I have the same perspective in life and being here for 18 months.. I have tried by God's grace to do all th things you have talked about because naturally am a person who is like that.. one time I got a cab. I was telling the taxi driver.. I think I smile too much and alot of people in Britain seem to be angry 😂😂 because the don't smile back... he told me just to continue to be me.... As long as the Lord keeps me here.. I will continue to have this rich way of thinking... Thanks ❤

[@ojajikobi]

You’re so beautiful 😍😍🥰 and thank you for all the tips ❤

[@julietambali]

Not relocating anytime soon(God knows tomorrow) but this will still be insightful or helpful one way or the other. I thank God for the spirit of excellence on your life, sis.

[@TosinAlabi]

Thank you sis 🤍🤍🤍

[@bukolaedgar1424]

I have been thoroughly blessed. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@rachealolulana8017]

This is a very rich video filled with great lessons and tips. Thank you ma

[@estherndidi9593]

Thank you for this video..very helpful

[@temitopeiyanda9903]

I love this

[@mmakamba]

you’re so sweet Tosin, after i greet you 3times and you give me ela, that’s the end o. when I moved to Canada, when I see Nigerians my head was always in a greeting position😂. Some people are pleasant they respond, others will just snub you. I still say hello to Nigerians when I run into them in the store or when I am taking a walk. If you like answer me, my money no go lost 😊

[@mmakamba]

you look so gorgeous 😍😍

[@gloriamawusi4654]

❤❤❤

[@TaiwoPeterOdeh]

❤❤❤❤

[@_elizabethliving]

I stopped try because I used to invest in my friendships but was not getting the same thing back

[@TosinAlabi]

Keep watching to the end, I addressed this 🤍

[@mmakamba]

Be proactive, serve people, learn and unlearn, change your mindset, don’t take offence, open your heart, hope you people understand and practise this. meanwhile I just noticed that you don’t ask people to like or subscribe to your channel…

[@TosinAlabi]

That’s the first thing I said in the video 🤣🤣🤣
