I Threw an Epic Party in the World’s Loneliest City 

A stranger is just a friend that you haven't met yet

I love old school yes theory videos.

When the German lady approached the stranger. It gave the same energy as a mother asking little children to become friends with her kids.

Staffan is such a warm and positive dude that he could ask you to donate both your kidneys for fun and you would say yes

Its funny how in a video about making a party for Swedish people it took a German and an Ukrainian girls to say yes lol

So blessed to have been at the event, met so many great new people, and even got a discount on a bed out of it😆 thank you Staffan and Tommy for this amazing event, we’ll make sure to keep these events happening in stockholm🙌🏽

I needed this today. I’ve been in a very dark place lately. Thank you. A little light in the dark

‘What’s the worst that could happen?’ ‘We spend time together and this video doesn’t see the light of day’ I love that your that positive that even if it flops atleast you got to hangout and enjoy your time. It didn’t flop btw haha surprised that many people showed

I live in Stockholm and got sooo excited when you posted about needing a salsa instructor and some spontaneous people! I really wanted to go, but I had to look after my boyfriend who had just gone through surgery on both feet and were unable to walk 😅 It truly is hard to meet new friends here in Sweden. The older you get, the harder it is and it really sucks. I've lived in Stockholm since january 2017 and I've only met one person that I can hang out with. If anyone here wants a friend who loves beer, tattoos, concerts, gaming and running, feel free to hit me up 👋

I love how awkward and fun this is 😂🥹🥹🥹

This is so epic, I find that people are so busy to realize how isolated we've become, of course the global pandemic still has lasting effects, but it's almost like we've created a culture of no, your mission helps link people who want to say yes!

You have no idea how much this resonates with me- making friends that you actually connect with, and not friends of convenience, is so hard as an adult. Thanks for helping people overcome that such a welcome idea ❤️

You should do one of these stranger events with people over a certain age. Like strangers over 60 would be cool

This is the SD content that your subs want! This type of spontaneous gathering is what made your channel so popular! Please continue!

As a swede and when Staffan just sade yes when they asked him 4 years ago. Have got me more intune to be more outgoing and want to say yes to more things.

sitting here alone in my apartment in new zealand crying over this oml this is so pure

Just moved to a new city, feeling kind of lonely and you guys reminded me to not be afraid of making new connections ! :-)

LOL, my parents are from Sweden, and Staffan saying "yoin" instead of pronouncing the J "Join" is suuuuuuuper typical 😂 Also swapping Vs and Ws for some reason, like saying Willage instead of Village. Staffan is a gem, and so are you all. Stay together forever plz 🙏💙💖

old school yes theory back in action...love it.

I love stefan's little jumps of joy after people say yes! love these videos guys!!!!

Was a bit worried at first! Swedes don't like to say no and when they say "maybe" it usually means no 😄

Amazing! Suggestion: when you guys do things like that, hand out a card with QR code to a RU-vid video promoting the event and bring a girl for goodness’s sake, two guys hanging around the door would make anyone nervous.

The 'Hi cutie pie note' from the editor made me smile. 😂🥰

No idea how I came upon this video but this was so nice to see.. complete strangers having a great time together and making new friends. Oh and I also live in Stockholm 😅

I moved to a new city almost a year ago and have been very isolated for months but recently because of a yes Theory community group, I’ve made some of the best friends I’ve ever had here and feel alive again

Cutie pie!? I feel so seen! Seriously thank you for getting out from behind the editing software and keeping Yes something that keeps motivating me. Please don’t stop. And also thanks to my new favorite Swede for bringing ALL the positive vibes ALL the time.

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity and for this great kick start for my time in Sweden 😍 had the best time! keep it going :)

that's really what i need in my life right now.friends who make me do spontaneous things and make leave my comfort zone.i wish i could have a friends like that in real life.

This came at the perfect time. Im going to a friends making event in Vancouver, BC on monday. This calmed my social anxiety a bit and hopefully I’ll be able to talk to some people there 😅

I had such a good time thank you!! ❤

Love that the band said YES. They saw an opportunity! We viewers know saying YES will have a profound consequence. We watch this video and WISH people to say Yes and never a no! It just needs a spark - Staffan and Thomas…and then you have a fire! It’s like a cool school summer camp! 🔥🔥👬👭👫🔥🔥🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

Early days of Yes Theory vibe. Love it guys!

It's wonderful to see the return of the old concept of the videos! I had a seek discomfort thing myself lately. I was quite afraid to do this, but I really want to improve my English. So a few weeks ago, I started taking English classes and I met already so many new people who share the same goal of learning and improving their English.

I don’t know why but this video had me tearing up. So heartwarming, I loved it 😊

An actual yes theory video. Very well done guys. Great work, good effort, great entertainment.

I moved to another country 7 months ago and I feel lonely quite often even thought I live with my partner and with our friends. I would love if someone approached me like that. Such a cool initiative! Thank you for bringing people together

NGL I blush when the editor calls me with cute names randomly in the video 👉👈

I will absolutely be hosting a friends making friends event in Seaside, OR this summer!!! Bonfire, surfing, adventure, and Sparking new connections!! It's always a gift to receive inspiration from the Yes Team!

I love these yes theory style videos. I hope there will be more in the future

I just luv Staffan, he is always smiling and so full of life, so innocent and real with an amazing personality. Great addition to your team.

I recognized a friend in this episode that I met abroad. Miguel funny to see you here!!! :D

This is wonderful. It needs to happen more often. People need to get out and talk, enjoy life and make new friends.

As a swede with social anxiety I wish more people did this. I just finished up my first year on university in a new town and this university is known to be really kinda closed for newcomers. I don't drink and party so it's been really hard to fins a community. The first term I really struggled just getting out of bed, sometimes skipping lectures and coming home crying 'cause I felt so astranged and lonely. It's better now but I still feel the loneliness. I've only made three friends here and it's been rough. Well at least one of them and I agreed we need to find community next year. I've been following this channel for years and sometimes I feel unworthy to call my self a yesfam member 'cause I don't challange myself as much. But just the thought of going to an event can be crypaling Just that of deciding to go outside can be a huge step of discomfort. Just take a step at a time, be kind to yourself and keep on moving forward. Yupp. just needed to say that. Thanks! ❤❤ Also if you're organising anything in south Sweden, let me know ;)

OMG your party was EPIC ! EVERY human being wants connection. We just absolutely need it ! I love what you guys are doing !

Inspirational as always. I was worried a little at first thinking nobody was going to show up, but you guys always manage to turn it around! The world needs more of this, now more than ever! Don't underestimate the power of talking and meeting with strangers 😄

Cool initiative! It is always so much fun to connect with other people. We just all have created walls to prevent getting hurt and/or disappointed...

Yep, it sucks to feel lonely while being around by people. Hard to make that first step. I think it would be 50/50 to answer yes to their question but i wouldn't regret it if i said yes.

You guys are truly an inspiration. Love you

That’s what life is about, enjoy the ride with an open mind 🙏🏽 love that!

i am very introverted and this gives me the encouragement to do it but i’m not even 18 and live in a small place i. retrospect that is also quite dangerous, sadly. but thank you for making this video as it encouraged at least one person who watched it to do what you guys did! Much love ❤️❤️❤️

You are amazing, guys! I have tears in my eyes from joy seeing how you make people happy!

i miss this so much

its amazing to see tommy go from an introvert little dudde to a fully grown responsible man. amazing transformation buddy🤪

This was beautiful! And you had a ton of great people attend! What an epic success! Such an interesting statistic about Stockholm. Hopefully the seed you planted with this idea will continue to flourish in Stockholm by new friends made in this group. Loneliness is a very serious and painful situation. This content was very fun, uplifting, and moving. Everyone who attended this event seemed super happy to be there.

So so good y’all!!! Love the sweet lady at the end saying thanks to you. 💛💛💛

Another inspiring video. Love those kind of videos where we literally get to see how saying yes can change the whole situation. Just amazing. Great job on organizing this amazing event.

What an amazing idea and video. This needs to be done in every city...

I was feeling nervous before going out to meet some new people today, but after watching the first 10 minutes of this, I was in a much more positive state and was able to meet people from this positive state :)

It's so exciting to see people connecting based on where they live!! I've been doing something similar in Sonoma for the past 2 years (just in a way smaller city where "everyone already knows each other" is a common myth). We're due for another Hello Sonoma! party in mid-July...

This February I've been in Oslo - another city known as a lonely and close to others place. Amazing thing happened. Even people living there were telling me that everyone in the bus is like "I'm not here, I'm not talking to you" and I met this girl who was like "you know what? I'm coming to my friend's party, so maybe you want to join me?" And it was very uncomfortable to me, but also it was crazy experience and really fun :)

Old school videos are such a throw back and just brings more strangers together and out their comfort. Oroville ca area would be amazing! I'd love to participate

I loved this video so much! Was smiling and clapping with every beautiful moment. Thanks again to you all for doing these amazing videos. Please do another like this in another city/country! Much love, Amber.

It's all about connecting people, that's what is all about, creating bridges regardless differences. Good job you guys. Greetings from Montréal, QC, Canada, where all of this started, remember?

Thank you yes theory crerw, i have such a depressing existence at the moment and this video actually filled my heart with warmth again and i cant tell you how much i needed that right now

This genuinely put the biggest smile on my face, what an awesome concept. Bringing people together in a way that ends with new connections and an all around sense of happiness is one of the best things in the world. There are so many people out there who might have so many similar interests to you that you don't even know exist, and so many people out there who have had vastly different interests and experiences to you who can share some of the best stories and different perspectives on so many things. Something about people just going out there and connecting with others is so undeniably heartwarming to see.

Love this guys!!! Staffan and Tommy you guys have great chemistry and both have such welcoming energy with strangers 😁 what an incredible way to seek discomfort and bring people together 💛🙌

This is so inspiring!!!! Great job!!!! Editors note was too cute btw!

Brought me back to the old school videos during covid. I loved it!

I love this video!!! I’ve been putting myself out there n meeting new people!! Ending this week with this video made me smile big!!! ❤️❤️ it can bring so much anxiety putting yourself out there but once you make a great connection it’s worth it!! 👌🏻❤️

I love this type of content, Road to 1 million subscriber, lets gooo!!!

Well done Tommy & Stefan :)

That Miss German definitely have the Seek Discomfort/ Yes Theory aura! She blends in too well.

An idea that seems so simple yet ends up being so inspiring, even for me who's simply watching it perhaps weeks later, from a screen. Thank you for you videos that spreads so much positivity and reminds us that this world isn't as bad as how we sometimes make it seem. Keep doing what you do.

I think this is such a good project/event cause it's so true that so many people feel alone and everybody needs some comfort and meet new people. And I think it has to be also with different ages. Cause loneliness ageless.I would definitely come and I am 52 years young.

Yezzaaaa 🎉🎉 what a champion you guys!! Awesome event! And you guys never stop inspire me!! Well done 👏🏻

Absolutely love that Stephan has stayed a part of the Yes theory Fam. I remember the video where we met him for the first time!!

This was such a great idea! Hope to be able to take part in something like this some day! It would be interesting to try this in a really international city like The Hague for people to interact with other cultures!

I have gone door-to-door for the past 4 years during the summers and this video has me cracked up! I would love to work with y’all one day, thanks for being such an inspiration in my life. I am praying for y’all! 🥰

This gives the same vibe of what I did when I moved to fresno,ca I would just invite over cool people that I saw at a coffeehouse or at work over for new pizza place every week night and it was so helpful during my husband’s deployment 😊

This is all of a sudden, ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I'VE SEEN RECENTLY!!! I absolutely love this idea and that pesky Corvid or whatever it's called, has just about ruined the entire planet it seems half the time! You guys can count on hearing from me in the near future for contact info and scheduling of my very own 'Friends Making Friends' party!! I just moved recently and my life is a bit upside down currently so nothing will happen immediately but I will definitely get it squeezed in before the end of this year. When I am finally in the position to have this party I'm going to set it up the same way you two did for this one, I'm gonna start asking the guests if they would be interested in attending something like this no more than 3 days before the event is due to happen. I'm thinking the spontaneity of it all is the most important part to making the idea work the best way possible. Once again.... incredible video and incredible party my friends! Remember your openness to possibly coming to make some MORE friends when I contact you with the itinerary, this party will be in KCMO(Kansas City Missouri) not very far at all from where Kelce and Mahomes have recently been commanding the world's attention, and getting it!!! This town is extremely fun because it's filled with a whole heckuva lot of extremely fun people!!! Since that pesky pandemic hit all that changed. I'm calling BS!!! on that though, all I can do is speak for KC when I say that NOTHING HAS TO CHANGE! We can easily go back to where we were before.....on the path to building a greater place to live and work and create and inspire change!!! When we work together for a common goal there is no boundaries to where things will go!!!! Hope all are well and actively moving towards the brighter future you deserve!

More like this please! A lot of fun and interesting to watch! Thank you.

Watching you go up to these people and talking to them to ask them to join you triggered my anxiety and my heartrate went up just from watching you and I felt that,making friends or even going up to a stranger is extremely difficult and the moment everyone was together enjoying the moment,I cried so much 😭😢I love everything that you guys do for this world ❤you are truly inspiring ⭐️

this is awesome, but even more incredible that you guys managed to plan and execute this in just 2 days

I’m so glad to see this side of yes theory aka seek discomfort. I’ve missed it so much because this is the content I find truly inspiring. I used to watch yes theory at it beginnings and waited impatiently with each post but it changed so I slowly drifted away. This is always so heartwarming and inspiring

You guys should come to Seattle, WA sometime! Love how you live your life! I'm always open to making new friends!

this was so awesome, i love this concept!! great video guys :))

I would love to see more videos like theses. They are amazing

Another feel good we love it, I would love to see more spontaneous parties like this

Wow! I live in Stockholm and it is crazy to recognise the location of almost every shot and seeing Staffan and Thomas in places i go to very often.

Love it, would've liked to hear more about people's individual lives and takes on loneliness! :)

This was sooo sooo wholesome love from Bahrain 🇧🇭 ❤

Fun! Living in Missouri, myself. I'm not much of a "joiner" and this would be outside my comfort zone but I would attend something random like this.

Since you are somehow close by, take the Ferry and visit Gdansk! I am Portuguese living here for 6 months and I am happy to welcome you! Another super video and it will be a real pleasure to meet you all or some of you! Keep it up! ;)

staffan is a gem of a human who must be protected at all costs

Amazing video and great job organizing this meaningful event in just two days!!!

Love this, love the smiles on everyone's faces.

You guys are so courageous.

More like this ❤! Always fun to see strangers getting together

everytime my bro n i watch your vids we always leave with a positive outlook on things. Thank yall from us!!!!❤

I love how i got to see your journey of being an introvert behind cameras to being in-front of the camera doing your own discomfort. I love it and keep up the amazing journey!
