why I don't have a boyfriend

I wish you did a podcast because listening to your voice and what you have to say is so relative and so humbling. You're truly inspiring.

I so love this idea!! But then I remember how creative and wonderful her digital illustrations and art is on videos

[@LovedHappy]

that intro was beautiful! You're such an artist!

[@idkatthispoint4657]

Katy for the past 5 years videos like these make you like the big sister I never had. In a few days I turn 20 and I haven't even been kissed. I never felt as if I NEEDED a boyfriend, but I'm at the point where I feel I'll never had one. When I mention it to people they look at me like I'm a freak and I just can't see anyone wanting to date someone who hasn''t been on a date or been kissed at my age. I know I shouldn't worry about and it isn't a main concern, but when I think about how I'd like my life to turn out its always there.

[@cbulldoggirl11]

Jade Thirlwall is my WIFE! You are not alone. I'm in the exact boat

[@katiecampbell14]

ugh I relate to this so much. I didn't have my first kiss till after I turned 20 and it felt like this big thing, until it happened. I was stressed about the idea of it, since I had no experience and was so 'old'. (ps 20 isn't old at all, things happen at our own times) But once it happened I realized it was only a big thing to me. I too always deflect the idea of not having a boyfriend as thinking 'this won't work because I haven't had one'. And as much as someone can say 'no it will one day' its hard to picture that, when its yourself. I think this video was so great as it opens that conversation a bit and shows you're not alone.

[@travelgirl101tv]

Just wanted to echo that you are not alone ❤️

[@katiemurray942]

I actually just turned 20 TODAY and I've never been kissed either! I've thought about what you just posted in that comment many times as well, but I'm just trying to live my best life and its just not bothering me anymore! So I don't know I just thought I would comment bc it felt a little ironic reading your post and I'm just liking the independence of everything in my life right now!

[@eltyo340]

I'm a guy in the same situation. I think the key is to envision the most meaningful place you could be in 5 years, and pursue that with a passion for life. I'm still struggling to break out of my little shell since I find it hard to just talk to random people and make friends, but I think if I work at it enough, it'll be worth it in the end.

[@talkingtoalison]

Just bc someone loves you doesn’t rid you of the burden of loving yourself. It’s a process.

Best quote of this video: "I don't have a boyfriend...because I don't want one for the right reasons."

[@daisymonsalve1485]

Nice Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Mahorrla Heart Key Method (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for understanding how to make any man love you minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin finally got excellent success with it.

[@LaurenSalz]

I have to learn that having a boyfriend isn't the most important thing in the world. That wanting to impress boys shouldn't be the reason why I want to improve myself or work harder in life. I should be doing those things for myself.

[@maxinecyria.3979]

Lauren Salz Oh my Gosh this is so perfectly said and curated

[@mina4426]

Ive been doing these for myself been two years now, it got to a point where i'm so completely okay with myself, my thoughts & my body that i forgot that "having a boyfriend who would make me happy" was on my goals list. it felt like a task i delayed everyday because i had much other important & exciting things to do, for myself, or for the ppl i love.

[@scarletwilson2562]

Lauren Salz Rights it's simple societal pressure trying to make it seem like not having a bf is the worst thing. The worst thing is not knowing who you are and getting in a relationship. Take time to explore. The divorce rate is high fir many reasons but ...i'm sure this is one of them.

[@rawr7179]

I need to learn that I’m not just starting something to procrastinate and run away from fear and doubt that still holds me down. But because I’m “breaking free” haha, with excitement, hope and faith, love, passion, and expressing the fear instead of ignoring it

[@helenahu8062]

Lauren Salz same

[@lauramariexfab]

This is perfect timing, I romanticize boys all the time and the past week I have been upset after realizing that I didn’t go out with a boy that I wanted to after ghosting him because I got scared that I wasn’t good enough. I always get insecure and it’s hard to accept someone being into me since I don’t love myself. Honestly thank you for this video because it reassures me that it’s okay to not have a boyfriend and to work on myself. Also you look amazing!

[@aaaoratos]

just went through the same situation, and the only thing i can say is let it go! there will be more guys later on, but i know i need to work on myself so when another guy comes around, i can be ready and i'll be in the right place to start a relationship with him!

[@mardyjoseph8203]

lauraxcx i don't think it's because you don't love your self

[@fussel895]

Ditto ;_;

[@rawr7179]

Wow, you had a break through!

[@invisiblekatie]

I’m 24. Never had a boyfriend, and I haven’t really wanted one thus far in my life. It might not conform to expectations, and I sure as hell never hear the end of it by friends and family, but it’s my life and I love it. We are all swimming in our own lanes. We all have different experiences. I think that things happen when they are supposed to happen. So just sit back and enjoy the life you’re living right now. Do the things you love. (P.S. I can’t believe you’re finishing university. I’ve been watching your videos since your high school years!) xx

[@cait.]

Having a boyfriend in college kind of sucks because when college ends you have to make sacrifices if you both don’t want to do the same thing after graduation. Being single when graduating college gives you the freedom to shape your future the way you want it to be.

[@ChoreobyK]

Johnny Tramain ok true but many of us aren’t thinking about having kids straight out of college. In fact it would be more beneficial for your kids if you took some time after graduation to find a decent job and work hard to really establish yourself financially before even thinking about having children. Sure you can be in a relationship whenever & you’ll have to make sacrifices. However, I think what Caitlin is saying is that you’re better off not dating in college because if there are dreams and goals that you have for yourself after you graduate, the fact that you have a boyfriend may change the decisions you make (because they now affect not only you but your significant other)... And this therefore may very well change the course of your life in which you might never even get to attempt to accomplish these goals or live out the dreams you had for yourself pre-relationship.

[@arminiusofgermania]

But how long will that take? If it takes too long, he may not be interested. You may not even need a boyfriend, or partner, but then what's the point of even having one?

[@livingbreakable644]

Ugh Katy, you always have the most eloquent and raw things to say. Thank you for your authenticity. You keep me hopeful.

[@jacquez214]

the intro was so inspirational, I've been single basically my whole life 18yrs and I been through ups and downs I often focus on my future at hands but I always wonder how come I could never find someone, but like you said he'll come when the time is right and I have to continue to build my empire. thanks, it really lifted my spirit!:)

[@nehamkelkar]

this video truly opened my eyes to how i’m living my life. i realized from watching this video that i want a boyfriend for all the wrong reasons, some being because my friends have boyfriends or i just want someone to love me the way i wish i could love myself. thank you for speaking on this and other topics that really make me reevaluate my life decisions. your videos have prepared me for a lot in my life and have guided me and i couldn’t thank you enough for that. thank you for being a role model and allowing me to take a look at my life from a different perspective. i love you so much and thank you for always being there for me!

Okay, I am so a 24 year old hopeless romantic/cheeseball male here who has overthought every date, every kiss, every text, every phone call, I’ve had since my fiancé left me a year ago.. Katy I am right here with you and it’s refreshing to know it’s not just me! I do have a hard time not thinking if every good date I go on is “the one”? Did I say too much? What is she thinking? Hell, I’m overthinking THIS COMMENT lol. Long story short, I’m just glad I’m not the only over thinker that exists lol

[@Kaylakatanik]

i swear to god. whenever you post these talking videos it's literally the day that these things happen to me or big events, and they help me soooo much!💛

[@kristalnycolle1650]

It’s crazy because I’ve been watching your videos for years but eventually, I stopped. I’m a junior in high school and I’ve never had a boyfriend and I’m constantly sad about it because it always feels like it’s my fault, maybe it’s the way I look or my personality. I’ve always had the need to have a boyfriend, and I just realized that it’s because i have the need to have someone else’s validation to make me happy and feel worthy. So, as I was saying, I haven’t watched your videos for a while, but then I saw this and it is exactly what I needed. So thank you so much for this.

[@aliciagoodman3659]

Katy, you're a blessing. I was just freaking out about this last night. I'm almost 21 and have never had a relationship or been on a date. This morning, your video was in my sub box telling me all the things I didn't know I needed to hear. Thank you for doing what you do. You continue to inspire me all the time.

We are at the same point in our lives (finishing school) and its been so great to see a different perspective and hear different stories. Your videos always feel like those late night conversations I have with my best friends at 2 am while we are falling asleep. Thank you for acting as a friend to so many while being so raw and honest. You have really helped shape me as a person, and given me confidence even though we have never met. I hope one day our paths cross and we can sit down for coffee or something. Thank you for being a friend, although we don't know each other. You are such a wonderful human.

Hey Katy! I’m such a huge fan, literally in love with every single one of your videos! In my 20 years of living I’ve never had a boyfriend and some of the points you made stuck out to me and I could relate very much. I feel like part of the reason why it hasn’t worked out is because I’ve never had one I’ve wanted it so bad and I’m a hopeless romantic and I also fail to look at the reality of things and like you mentioned this is one of those aspects in life where you just have to let it be and let it come when it’s the right time and I couldn’t agree more! Every time I see your videos I get the urge to make videos like these lol. Thank you for being a great influencer in my life!

[@sarahgeeox]

sometimes i truly wonder what i would do without your youtube videos. I'm 27 years old, and I really look up to you and see myself in you. Compared to my friends, I haven't had many relationships.. I'm usually the single one, and it's definitely made me question myself and feel insecure at times... like, what is wrong with me? I'm great! Why wouldn't that person want me? I realized it taking a toll on my self esteem.. but how sad is it to think that my self worth comes from a guy 'wanting me'. You brought up good points about how we should give ourselves a pep-talk every so often. If I'm being completely honest, watching you - a beautiful, smart young woman, who is facing these 'challenges' as well, makes me feel more 'normal'. It's reassuring to see right in front of me that I'm not the only one having these feelings and thoughts. Love you

[@katielovesanna1]

You just get it so much. I’m 20 and single and I don’t even particularly want a boyfriend right now but I feel this enormous pressure like if I don’t lock down a boy soon I’ll be single forever- like my clock is ticking. Thank you for being a pep talk and reminder for me. I legit started watching you when you posted your first kiss story 😂

[@marinadokunikhina4457]

Hey , Katy! Thank you so much for this video and for the breakdown one too. It' just something that I needed to hear. I had my heart broken 5 month ago and i still can't heal. I see how i've changed and the worst of all it disappoints me. Do take it wrong, Im a good person it's just that i used to be so carefree and fun and now i'm broken. I know it's me growing up but i really want to go back to the way it used to be. I want to be whole again and happy but i'm so tired of trying to cope with it and to be strong. I feel too lonely because i've just realised that i don't have people to talk to and may be that's why i'm writing to you. Pretty sure you won't read it because there are so many like me here. Anyway I really want a person like you in my life because i know that you would have understand. Thank you again for being here for me (for us) when nobody is. i just started to feel so insecure and like there's nothing special about me and these thoughts hurt so much especially cause i'm ashamed of them. i want to be happy and to get out of this breakdown so i wish so much love and happiness to you and to anybody who is reading it i love you guys

But the reality is exactly what you said.. It's most important to focus on yourself and your interests cause in the end, all we ever really have is ourselves. And I have faith that one day my person will come along, and yours will too, Katy. you are so lovely and thanks for making this video,

Love this video. You always bring in the realness that is life. Being single for 22.5 out of my 23 years these are things I've dealt with. Especially in college. Can't wait to watch all you are doing on this wild journey that is life. Take a month off to write, travel, eat and explore. Or maybe move to Italy for a year and live your best life. No matter what you do or where you go I totally know you'll kill it. You are strong, intelligent and beautiful with a lot of life ahead of you. We know that the one person that will be with you is yourself and loving yourself is the longest and hardest thing to do. So live your best life, go through struggles and find happiness. I'm team Katy and have followed your whole college journey. You are absolutely so inspiring and can't wait to see what is ahead for you.

[@january_blues8546]

I felt this so hard. I always seem to find myself beating down everything about me and that's the reason i don't have a significant other or why they don't want to stay. I would describe myself as someone that always looks out for others and generally puts them first, which then gets taking advantage of which gets frustrating sometimes, because it seems that we want the idea of someone but not the feelings and real commitment it comes with. Because things are easier said then done! So when people tell me the same thing to try and do something then you'll get over it, its never that simple. But as Katy says which I am learning and telling myself everyday is to be ok with being by myself. That its not me, that most of us are trying to figure ourselves out. Love yah girl, been watching your videos for a minute but i felt this is a video i really had to comment on because being a college student as well surrounded by couples, it's hard to get those ideas out of your head so thank you for this Katy.

This video honestly could have not been posted at a better time for me. I’m a college junior, 5 months out of a relationship, and spend so much time wondering why things couldn’t have worked out or why I don’t have a fling now. I totally feel you on the being a romantic and dramatic so it’s difficult to believe that you are enough for you. But videos like this are a boost of confidence and support, so thank you!! Much love :-)

[@manroop5734]

Omg i feel this on a spiritual level Katy! I’m the same age as you, but i’ve never been in a relationship cuz i never felt like I needed or wanted it throughout my school years. And now that I’m about to complete university i keep feeling this pressure about dating and having a boyfriend. But since I’m so comfortable with being single, it kinda scares me to have to look for someone I’m interested in lol

KATY. I have never watched a video more accurate to how I feel everyday. It’s so exhausting, and embarrassing almost feeling as if you’re not “good enough” for some boy. I hate it. Yet I fantasize and dream about falling in love, all the time. It is so tough, when the thing you want most in this world, you can’t really “work for”.

As a soon-to- be 22 year old and a graduating college Senior, this really resonated with me. I experienced tragedy in my life very recently that has helped me gain perspective on my priorities.

The last bit of the video when you said that you are single basically because you do not want to be for the wrong reasons is very true; you'd be dating someone if you truly wanted to. It's in our intuition and ideals that keep us from settling in my opinion. Live life for you. I am so proud of you for finishing college! :)

[@francesjames7055]

Good luck Katy. We ALL make mistakes in life.....this is what living is all about. My boyfriend always says that a person is not 'Real' until they are 'Broken'. I asked him what he meant and he explained that a person whose life has been like a fairytale will never TRULY understand what it is like to feel broken, humiliated, hurt, and even suicidal. He said that when we have been 'Broken' it adds an extra dimension to our souls that enables us to empathize with other people who are going through a tough time. As someone who has been 'Broken' many times, I can see that he is right. Katy, you have discovered that life is certainly no fairytale for most of us.....but like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, you have embraced the challenges, experienced the pain and now you are moving on. Not only are you beautiful and intelligent, but you now have that added dimension to your soul in which you UNDERSTAND just how painful life can be. This means that when the good times come (and I assure you they WILL) you can better appreciate it. I guess we have to experience the bad in order to REALLY appreciate the good. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.....it's a cliche, but so very true. Take care, x

I have been watching you since you were in high school and now I’m ending my first year in college and you are graduating, I am experiencing everything that you experienced your first year. Thank you for being so amazing and inspiring Katy♥️ I can’t wait to see what amazing things are to come for you, you are one of the reasons I joined a sorority thank you for being the big sister I never had! ilysm

[@irismeeow]

[@savannaj2]

This is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you!! ❤️

[@TheOliiveyouu]

I've been watching you for years and seeing you grow and develop, as a human & as an artist, is absolutely amazing!!

[@biah890]

[@kealani6036]

[@kalinapopova7590]

Thank you. I really needed to hear this. Your sit down videos are so raw and beautiful!

[@Chrisratata]

You look more beautiful than ever, Katy. Kudos to you for gaining the maturity to see how important it is to take care of you first and be honest with yourself.

[@xoxemesxox]

Exactly how I’ve been feeling my whole life! Glad someone else said it and maybe now I’ll actually start believing what I’ve been trying to convince myself of! Love you 💓

[@anthonyarmata4525]

I never comment on any videos ever. But in every single one of your videos, speaking so truly and openly about any subject, you always make me think, reevaluate where I am standing and realising that perfection is a myth. You bring me down to earth when I am overthinking. I agree to everything you said in this video. I used to go insane wondering why nobody wanted me and why was I not worthy of love, but with time I have achieved a stage in my life where I don’t care and I am the happiest I have ever been. I don’t need anybody’s approval in order to be able to love me. I know you will achieve this stage too, it is only a matter of time. You truly are so inspiring mentally, I am so excited to see every single time you post a video because I know it will not be content as we see it everywhere. In these times were what is valued is your level of perfection and the amount of money you havé you bring fresh air in the room. You are extremely unique and you do inspire me in so many aspects so thank you and even if I don’t know you, I love you.

[@mainacarey7569]

i was legit just wondering if i’d ever have a boyfriend in college (i’m at the end of my sophomore year right now) and your video inspired me to shut down that voice in my head and just frickin live!!! who cares!!! thank you so much!

[@PetraGreene]

oh gosh I get the question all the time. Im always amazed at how much people expect my life to progress at a certain speed, when I should be in uni, working, dating. When youre living you own life youre focused on the present and just letting things flow.

[@futurestarzes]

Awesome video! Very relatable and something a lot of people aren’t brave enough to talk about because it feels taboo. It’s hard being a romantic person sometimes. Everything will work out how it should and don’t let society pressure you to pine over an idealized goal. Everybody’s on a different path 👍🏻

[@cierratrosen9926]

Joey Kidney was talking about your video and I’m glad that I saw it. Thank you.

[@cookingwithrhue1547]

Love this! I swear it was like a mirror reflection of how I currently see myself but let me tell you while listening to you, you gave me inspiration . Everything you said was so true and honest . We do have to live and learn ourselves and I really think that’s what I’m most scared of sometimes because everyone always deems it normal to always do something with the opposite sex to mean something . This year, I’ve challenged myself more to setting goals and accomplishing them and I feel great . No I don’t have a bf and do feel like I’ve settled at times but I’m looking forward to what the universe places in my direction . Great video.

I found this video at such the right moment you don't even know. I'm 21 and in university and I have this intense (yet new) crush on this one senior. And I'm always thinking up ways to somehow actually see him a lot because we're not in the same course. And at this point I do think that it's not good for me to give in too much energy into this. And I do have a lot of other things that I want to do. So I hope I'll be okay with not getting with him or possibly seeing him again, knowing that I'll find the right person, at the right moment.. So thank you for this video! Even if no one reads this. Subscribed!

[@ItsFranHey]

hi katy i really needed this video at this point in my life so thanks for the support and the much needed pep talk!

[@theshadishow9255]

This couldn't have come at a more perfect time! I just wrote a piece about feeling the exact same way. Thank you for making this video and making me feel understood. p.s. the intro was absolutely gorgeous x

[@Emily-nq1bj]

Hey Katy, I'm only 15 but I've been watching your videos since you were in high school. I usually don't watch these types of channels, but your's has always seemed to help me at the right moments and sometimes when I didn't even know I needed advice. I've recently become an exchange student to Taiwan, and without expecting it, one of your recent videos had helped me make the decision to go there. (This video also got me right when I needed it). Anyways, Thank you so much for being such a great role model. I hope you do even more great things outside of college.

[@nicolekirkman3094]

You are such a treat to watch! And this video is so true, by far one of my favorites!

[@marymisto7507]

I love how spontaneous you are girl

[@haileygregory7328]

Katy i love you. Never stop being you. Thank you for being great.

[@kaliechambless1584]

When you said that we don't need a boy to complete us, that we are already complete ourselves, it really resonated with me. I've been going through a lot of boy trouble myself and have been struggling with this. But, I came across a poem the other day by Rupi Kaur that said "It was when I stopped searching for a home within others and lifted the foundation of home within myself that I found that there were no roots more intimate that those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole." This poem really helped my understand, that just like you said, we are already complete ourselves, and that we need to look inside ourselves rather than to other people.
