Thank you Kenny for making this video. I am much older than you and I can’t even seem to remember not being lonely. What few good friends I have had, have died over the past 10 years. I do have one good friend now but would like more. I feel like such a loser! You seem like a really kind, caring, wise individual and l look forward to your future videos on this topic. I like those glasses on you!
I find it extremely hard to make friends and that makes me sad 😞 I think popularity has something to do with it And social media is leaving a nasty Funk in every day life people more so want to compete with each other then building a real Actual bond loyalty also plays a part aswell
Hi Kenny. Have you ever thought of getting involved with your town council. I’m sure you would be really good at it and improving your town and attending meeting and hopefully have new friends there. Your a good talker and I’m sure you might get some thing out of it
Really nice insight Kenny! It's kind of comforting when you talk about this topic. And it has been as for years I've watched your videos : ) .You asked for listeners to share in comments; for me growing up pre-teen my social skills seemed ok, but maybe that's because friendships were more superficial, we weren't adults with all of the responsibilities. In my teenage years it got intense, and as an early adult. Since then it's kind of mellowed out, and as I've aged some more. I mostly stopped thinking there was something with me and am pretty accepting of who I am. But I agree to your point that overall most people are very similar, with similar experiences, emotions, reactions to things, stuff like that. I do have some friends, but I find that it's much easier for me to connect with them in phone chats. It's just with certain kinds of people who like who I am and how I think and things like that. With text messages, I get to think for however long I want about what I want to say. With emojis and stuff it's very clear what people are feeling, and easier to connect with. In person it is much harder for me to connect with the same people, and with people in general. I can't take time to think about what I want to say if they say something. Unless they're a kind of patient, and less pre-judgmental kind of person when we do get along. And like if they have a more casual, slowed down personality, and don't do great with people as well. So thinking of things to say on the spot is harder for me. Also it's a lot harder for me to perceive people's emotions in person, unless it's something really basic like they're smiling or laughing. So sometimes I blame it on my brain, that it wasn't developed in a way that is good with that in person (group) interaction, where everything feels a lot more complex and less clear than what happens in group texts, where you have as much time as you want to think about you want to say, and there are emojis to make things clearer, about what people are really feeling and thinking at any time. Which makes things easier on my mind, I'm not laboring to try and figure out what's going on in people's heads and their emotions, and what they expect from me, like my facial expressions and tone of voice and all that stuff. And it just makes things much simpler, like quieter and calmer in my mind which I like.
You know you have a problem when you're filling out a form for a new doctor, and you are asked who would you like them to contact in the event of an emergency. And there is no one, not one single person that you could depend on...
