My friendship groups and what I look for in friends has changed a lot over the years but: Primary school - not in touch with anyone High school - only in touch with one person and only because she started working at the same place as me (am FB friends with some others but the vast majority I wouldn't be interested in ever actually meeting up with) College - not in touch with anyone Uni - not in touch with anyone Past job places - not in touch with anyone Current workplace - this is where the vast majority of my friends are from now and certainly my closest friends (I've been there 16 years to put this in perspective). I've got some mates from other interests but none that I could call if I needed to talk to someone.
I feel like I can't get over the fact that my friends that I was friends with when I was younger aren't really my friends anymore. They've grown into people who I wouldn't now be friends with and I find that so weird ! I feel like I'm a super friendly person and I make friends easily but it's such a weird topic because it's hard to know when you class someone as a friend ! I was inviting people to a party today and realised that 95% of the people I was inviting are new friends which I've made in the last few years and a few are old school friends . Wish it was as simple as going up to someone one and asking to be their friend ! Lol Everyone is here thinking they just want to be Jay and sammies friend 😅😂
Im mid 20s now, I have 3 friends i speak to every once in a while but no best friend or solid friends i could call if in need. There's still time though i think ❤
There is time. I didn't have good friends in my 20s. Lost touch with highschool friends in college, and didn't make close friends in college. I work in HR so I don't make work friends- I'm friendly with people but not friends. And I don't go to bars and such. I love to read and kinda do my own thing. I was in my mid thirties when I met my best good friend who is about 6 years younger than me. I feel so lucky to have her in my life- she's a great person and does so much for our community. There is time but you do have to put yourself out there and be in places to actually meet people. My BGF and I met in a civic organization.
Hey girls 🙂. I'm really happy you discussed this because this is something I think about. I'm originally from Sunderland but I've moved around A LOT since I was 18. I have friends all over the country, however, that's both a positive and a negative, like you were saying. Because of traveling and moving, I don't have those friends I can be like, come over for a coffee or let's get some lunch, but equally, I can jump on a train down south, meet a friend and feel like time has never passed. I would never change my experiences and I'm glad I travelled, but coming back to the north east, I do feel sad from time to time, because you feel that being at home you should have friends, but you don't. I do wonder if it is easier to live away from home and not have many people, but expect it, than living in your home area and wanting friends but not having them. Who knows!
Always love learning more about sammie, mad respect for her, doing what makes her happy and not following the norm. It's great that she's busy and doing what she loves. but I do wish we could see more of her in the squad videos.
I am 18. I find it very difficult to make proper friends to hang out with or message to online. I guess I am quite shy and reserved and quite a unique individual with very niche interests like I love Pokémon anime, completing word searches and I barely find anyone in my local area who likes to do and talk about these interests with me. I also have high expectations and standards for what I want in a friend.
I really enjoy these talks! I know less than nothing about the RU-vid algorithm or how monetization works, but should all of Jay's videos be on one channel and just labeled as a Vlog or a Just Chat? Regardless, I really enjoy the one topics with people, especially when they are topics we might not have heard them talk about, and I love the topics Jay has picked so far. Ty for the content!
Agree. I think she has three channels now and it's two too many, unless there's a monetization reason for having that many. I could see Just Work being it's own thing because it's a business, but put the rest of it all together.
