How to Build Closer Friendships

This is nothing short of extraordinary. I came across similar material, and it was absolutely breathtaking. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

So on point. I’m so disorganized and absorbed by dopamine chasing that I lack awareness of other peoples’ lives or checking in. I end up reaching out last minute or trying to do play dates with my kids so I think it comes across that I only reach out when I need something when I’m just really hijacked from intentionally and mindfully nurturing friendships. I like the tips. Even the spirit of scheduling social outreach with very minimal expectations I think could go a long way.

Is talking an easy for you? For me uttering words take strain.

Cool so I’m gonna wait until my next birthday to do the ‘organiser’ thing

Finally someone who provide practical advice, thank you!!!!!

I hve 4 close friend i m supper funny and talktive only to them. But i cant act like that to people in my class now .now i am studying in diff clg i alone when the classmates laugh and sll i m just sitting lonely everyone ask me y i m so silent

Massachusetts is the worst for meeting friends and those meet up groups in this state are awful. Everybody’s lazy you try to get a walking group or anything and it’s like people are so lazy.

I was kinda resentful for being the organizer friend, but this has made me view that differently. Thanks Thomas!

It's a two way street. You can put in effort, but if the others don't reciprocate it, then it won't work.

Listening from NJ with my English class. Great video!!

I have Asperger’s reality with just kindergarten diploma,

I have never had friends in my life.
It’s a one way street. They call when they want something, which is rare. I call or text them, their voicemails are always full and they never pick up or respond.

I have extreme PTSD from a life of being abused and manipulated.

The only friend I have is God all mighty and I put him first. I am working on having this beautiful relationship with God himself.
I am so sorry God so sorry I struggle. Thank you God for your teachings, thank you God for your forgiveness, thank you God for the miracles you do.
God I will continue to work on the Basic Bracelet project for you and I will keep sharing your thoughts 💭 with you and I hope that we can get this project started for you as quickly as possible.

I’m low key sad that I don’t really have a childhood friend. I don’t talk to my friends from my childhood and we don’t really have much in common anymore

I really want to get closer to my friend and she goes to my school but she lives 3-2 hours away. So she needs to leave right after school.

100-200 hours, no wonder I don't have any friends. I don't feel like I have the time to even get done what is required to survive.

I watched this originally because I felt saddened that I’m usually the initiator in my friendships but it helped me a lot to know that it was ok that I do that.

The problem is the if I invite I don’t think they will show up…

This video is very helpful thanks bro

I feel like I have everything I need to make friends, but my main problem is time. I have a ton of things in the way that cause me to not be able to communicate with people often, by the end of every day I feel drained, but when those off days come where I have nothing going on I have nobody to call. I jus don’t know how to fw people, in my life I only really had 5 real friends but they all are gone from my life.

Okay but what can i do If noone wants to spend time with me

Here everyone want to have close friend but everyone is lonely

This video has helped improve my perspective as the “leader” of my friend groups

This is the most exact video i was looking for

What’s with the super PC photos why 😢whyy

I'm HATING MYSELF for not talking to the person I really want to build a friendship with. Although we say hi to each other, that's it. I WISH I started a conversation.. but like it was the end of school--

good vid my bro, just made friends with Omar Sharif

Steve: "hey joe, we are going drinking fridaynight at 5:30PM, want to come?"
Joe: looks at schedule "oof sorry steve, i need to learn about manbun styling"

did you actually meditate with snoop D?

I’m here because I’m in a trio except the other two aren’t that close they’re just friends with me and I’m trying to make them closer and fix it 😭😭😭

Wtf my name is Ashley I’m shook

I am going to end

About to start uni, I really want a good social life with lasting relationships 😤

Thank your thomas❤

Nice tips

Try to be your own friend. Try to be alone for a time, you'll realise a lot.

Thanks buddy✌️

You look good, but it's too much sh!t talk. Watched with 2x speed

Just wanted to add that by all means help. People however make sure at least the other person is supporting you as well. So that you don't get unbalanced friend ships.

I think it's more to do with luck. Sometimes people just don't get lucky to meet someone they click with.

There is a thing called friendship chemistry either you click with someone or you don't.

Reality is that most people by 30 have an established circle and they aren't even looking for new people. Yet alone close friends.

I organise and reach out but for the most part these friendships fizzle out.

The last one really hit with me! I quite literally at random times every day and up telling my friends about pure nonsense (gru memes included)😎 They now call me the online memer cause half my conversation with them ends up in memes🤔

Very insightful, I find myself rather exhausted from trying hard to make relationships and maintain them but I try to balance it by only keeping a certain amount of people I talk too and disregard the others

I am batman

i try to make friends and i really want to have people close to me in my life but i always end up forgetting to make time for them or check up on them and combined with long episodes of depression and self isolation i find myself losing connections with the few friends i have left.

I just have a hard time finding things to say, it’s usually just crickets between me and one of my awkward friend

I try but what am i suppose to talk about🧍🏻‍♀️ and its stays silent

What happens when you've given alot of effort out to friends and you don't feel as connected to others and you feel tired

It’s painful considering I’ve tried to reach out to 15+ separate people and they’ve all abandoned me. I thought maybe there was a problem with me, but I look at every single case and it’s the other person either dropping me without warning or not caring to reach out. It’s been an absolute pain since college has started to find good friends, but I can push through. 8 months and going strong!
