Friends make life good. They provide the scaffolding that makes it not just bearable but fun. They give us a sense of meaning and purpose and are a source of security, self esteem and happiness. Almost nothing predicts how happy you will be as how connected you feel and a lack of social connection is associated with a number of diseases and a shorter life.
But maybe you have scrolled through your phone, unsure who to call to go to a movie with, to celebrate with or ask for comfort. You may realize that you don’t have enough friends and feel lonely. And it is not just you. Disconnectedness and loneliness are widespread.
Many people want more close friends but don’t know how to get them.

I have never felt so offended and at the same time watched when this was recommended
dis video is stoopid
Idk I prefer being alone without anybody
I'm wierd I guess
Probably everyone has posted something similar already, but this video feels like it was made for me right in this moment of my life.
Thank you so much, Kurzgesagt Team! This is truly helpful!
I could nitpick some things I think are more complicated and be my usual grumpy self, but I love this video too much and your optimistic, non-judgemental approach to this when this is so little talked about. Thank you.
I've never had a friend
I wish I had a friend to share a laugh with and talk about every subject that comes to mind.
To quote the Care Bears, lol: "to have a friend, first you need to be a friend".
Your videos are so helpful, practical, clear, and hopeful. Thank you. <3
Beautiful video. The storytelling animation is so on point!
I am 20 and I don't have freinds when people go to enjoy on holidays. I have decided I have cried enough.
I will fix it 🔥
I am Determined for it
Visuals were so on point on this one!!!

Me
I literally just sit in my classroom for 8 hours lonely and without saying a Word because my social skills suck
Good advice.
i love how he says "shhedules" lol
I searched this up ☹️
Truth be told I am learning English and this channel really help me to improve my listening skill.Only in this channel people don't leave the channel after advertising coz all of advertisings useful. Thank for useful videos.

This is cool, but what is crazy is that I won’t be existing forever so who cares
I'm not going to lie… I've done just about all of these and nothing has stuck. Some of us are just meant to be alone and that's the sad truth of the world. We find a person to ostracize and we do it without question.
Honestly I'm done with it all. I'm so numb that breaking a bone barely phases me. I just dont care anymore
The hope and positivity in this video is bringing me to tears… therapy has been teaching me a lot about myself, and one of my biggest struggles is socialization. My particular set of issues puts this process on hard mode, and for a long time I've withdrawn and told myself that it's easier, and that it's what I want…
But it's not, and it's miserable, and I hate it so much… I want to connect, to feel that sense of belonging and worth. The easy path is eating me alive inside but it's so damn hard for me to beat this.
I have just one friend & he comes over only when he's found out I cashed my paycheck. Sometimes I tell him I'm kinda' lonely & he says 'Yeah me too'. We play video games for about 30 mins, then he takes money out of my wallet & leaves.
I left my home country and moved alone across the world where I still strugle with the local language, it is specially hard and depressing to find new people to bond with. This video gives me a lot of hope for a better future.
What about toxic relationships? I'm afraid to make new friends because I've had a few toxic friends
There is a difference between having casual friends and real friends. I think real friends are those who will visit you in the hospital if you are injured and will pro-actively invite you to something to cheer you up when things are tough. Casual friends just can't be bothered. They have their own stuff to do and other priorities. It's very hard and very rare to find real friends, and unfortunately I don't have any, after years of trying to cultivate friendships, they simply crumble too easily.
I am an immigrant. What I've noticed is that the natives tend to have circle of friends that were formed during school and college times. These people are really not invested into the idea of making new friends. The same way, I noticed that the physical distance makes people uninterested in keeping in touch after a few years and I've lost many friends I had in my original country. Another element that makes life difficult is to have to work 8 hours a day. No one really wants to hang out afterwards and people often prefer to stay home. Keeping friends like that is a full time job!
Anyone wants to be friends with me
Nice, do one about getting bitches next
Is it bad that I've been alone for so long that I no longer care for humanity in any manner or form? As in that I don't care if everyone around me were to just die? This isn't a joke. I have been basically shoved away by others for so long that I honestly couldn't care less about the well being of others. I ended up realizing this very recently, and I'm worried that I've become a sociopath or something.
This was inspiring but toxic masculinity keeps telling me no
Had a horrible experience with the SJ subreddit they kicked me all bc I said men can't get pregnant and gaslighted other users to harass me
I really appreciate that Sade cameo.
❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, so you’re assuming I’m lonely?
well youre right
What do I do if they leave me anyway because they have better friends?
Thank you but I think this is impossible for me 🥲
Introverts: I don't have that kind of problem 😏.
