I somehow managed to get into toxic friendships. Im excited for highschool because those friends wont be able to go with me. I still love them, they both are awesome, but hanging around them make me uncomfy. Friend A already moved, and Friend B is in my class. Im in grade 7 so I have 1. 5 years until Highschool. Im actually auditioning for an arts program so wish me luck, haha! I struggle with making friends so Im going to Promise myself that I must choose my friends carefully in highschool! Id like to keep a small group of friends, maybe 2-5. Until my social range grows: . Psych2Go, I hope you are healthy and living an amazing life so far. You are literally millions of peoples savior in advice so thanks on behalf of everyone!
Friend A: gets me into a lot of her friends drama for no reason. She also likes to say stuff without considering my feelings, which I understand. She is going through a lot and Ill be there for her. My mother is her younger brothers Godmother so Ill be knowing her for the rest of my life. I matured faster than hee though, despite being the same age, so Id love to think that she would be feeling better later on.
Friend B: she is pretty toxic, think of Scaramouche from Genshin Impact. She is a pretty lonely girl overall though, she was a lot Kinder when we first met. She is also a lot kinder to others too. She is still nice to me, but she kicks me often, laughs when I fall or something breaks, and sometimes even holds my neck tight. I know she needs friends, so Ill be there.

When i was in high school i had like people i liked to hangout with but i never felt like i had real friends so i felt lonely, when i went into art school i talked more to one of my highschool buddies online and we got somehow closer? XD weird but now we're besties, and since im in art school i really made such great friends. I basically met my platonic soulmate i cant remember how we got close but we see each other so often to see movies, or just eat together at a fastfood and rant (its our ritual now lol) i know i can tell them anything and them too and im so happy to have them in my life now, we always talk about our new interests and help each other to be better!
Ive had a toxic friendship before, so if you feel scared because you know that person will judge you if youre vulnerable with them, if you know they wont help you if you have a problem, i suggest you to be careful, and maybe its just a bad feeling that can be solved with talking with them, but if they gaslight you or tell you its your fault when youre trying to solve something. ugh bad vibes really, get this person out of your life or dont let them being a strong part of your life. friends are supporting each other: ) if its one sided its not good

Most of my friends are neighbours but when one moves they don't keep in touch, I'll let them ghost me three times and will then let them be, anyone who knows me know they can reach out when they wish too (most people wish too when they want something lol. I've not been able to spend time on activities that we like, always at home with kids so no opportunities to make friends out of who's near by. But this year I'll be starting tai chi, swimming more, tea dancing, craft groups and hopefully a choir. I hope to make friends but I'll still have fun either way, taking time for things I'm interested in will be nice. Hopefully next year I'll have to confidence for cosplays and similar events. Would love to make a friend as passionate and enthusiastic about random pretty things as me (I seem to mostly have great friendships with ND persons but then get forgotten about when someone moves and due to situation outside my control I've had to move around the country too many times, loosing friends along the way.

As a Psych2go viewer, I have some criticism for this video. I am autistic and autistic people can have difficulty absorbing auditory information, as well as having auditory processing issues. I can usually absorb information just fine, as I dont have much difficulty with that, but I do have auditory processing issues, and this videos combination of a voice with an accent and background music made it quite difficult to understand what the speaker was saying, let alone interpret it. I really hope that you can take my feedback into account for the future and make your videos more accessible for autistic people and others with auditory processing issues.

10th way: people love to know where they are, comparing to others, that's why personnality tests and stuff like that has a lot of success. You can start a conversation with someone as: < I see you are writing, I'm writing too. > and you can use some knowledge in graphology to guess something about their personnality, based on the way they write. Either you are right, and they feel amazed, or you are wrong, but they find you are clever and interesting. You can also compliment them by looking at their hands: < Oh, your hands are strong, you must work hard > or < they are very beautiful, you must be a painter or musician, right? >

I don't think I could ever build another form of friendship. I'm an introvert and have social anxiety. I understand that I have to initiate the step but it's so tiring.
I don't think I have a close friend or someone that I can call when I feel down. I'm always the 3rd person of the group; the other 2 are closer so I feel left out. Some of their friends does not like me as well. I could feel the vibe. I'd say I'm just replaceable based on my previous relationships (friends/lover. So I'd prefer to be alone than start over and build one only to see it crumble into pieces.

when I was 24, I attended a school for people with disabilities, the Tennessee Rehabilitation Cener, (TRC. My first night, January 2016, I see this girl limping, I ask her if she needs help, she says 'yes'. by April, our acquaintanceship blossomed into a beautiful friendship. The following year, 2017, our friendship was put through hell. Hower, the two of us were able to make it out unharmed, physically that is, by the time Sarah and I left trc, we were not only best friends, but brother and sister.

A nice video to start my semester as new classes means new classmates. As a talkative person, I go overboard so I'm trying to slim it down.
Already having problems with a class, so I contacted everyone to see if they have the same. Still a shame some classes are online, but slowly but surely most things will turn back for the better.
If you're planning for an event, I hope one of the choices would be in California.

Thank you for this video! I really want to make new friends. Desperately. Just because i need a change of mindset and to be more sociable. I wanna stop isolating myself and try to get out to speak and share thoughts and even be vulnerable. Maybe I don't want to leave my current friends, I just want a chance to be genuine with my thoughts and my relationship with them

A buddy is one who overlooks your damaged fence and admires the plant life in your garden. An accurate pal is like a four-leaf clover: challenging to locate and fortunate to have. There is nothing I would now not do for these who are certainly my friends. True friendship comes when the silence between two human beings is cosy!

Good video except your audio is a bit wacky. The voice is too quiet and the music is either too loud, or maybe sounds like a person talking and kinda gave me sensory overload. Like trying to listen to two people talk at the same time. I liked it once I muted it, and just read the captions.

This voice does not sound good. Also, the music and background sounds make it very difficult to hear and understand the words. I usually LOVE your psych-to-go videos. this one is impossible to enjoy. Please go back to your other voice! Thank you very much for your work!

It can be hard to make friends but don't give up, and don't settle for less. Your people are out there, and they are so worth it. I used to be more of a loner, but I now have very deep and meaningful connections, and it was worth the wait. Keep trying, guys

As helpful as these tips are, the music is a bit loud and distracting. I honestly would appreciate it if the volume could be turned down a bit or if there's a different track that can be played altogether.

When a person, you want to get to know, say 'no' or 'yes' to your question and doesn't want to say anything more, you should stop trying to befriend them if they don't want to do that either.
