Friendship & Vulnerability

people tend to part away, and I'm finding this in this moment in my life, the one who I considered a friend for long ago, changed, I tried to understand it but it's too late, I am a person who will always Gona support a friend im their decisions but, when the other part doesn't support's you and constantly make's fun of your habits and way of being it's hard to not part aways, and the things is that the ego can sometimes be our hardest enemy he is one of those guys who are afraid to be vulnerable. that's why he doesn't try to fix our friendship

So when I make a fool of myself, it is "endearing"? Not in the real world, sorry. Any of the countless times I've made a fool of myself, I was looked down upon and so full of shame I could not face that person again :-(

For men, its EXTREMELY EXTREEEEEMELY difficult. But im willing to put it all on the line! Enough is enough!

is that a beard or a smile?? xD

So much wasted ice cream though. :(

the girl really doesn't have it together does she

What happens when you fall in love with your friend?

the narrator sux

Yeah when you think about it how much closer did you get to a friend once you told them a secret and they kept it?

I am really sad right now because I have shitty friends and no one will ever want to listen to my problems, and trust me its bad.

Great lesson never ever buy ice cream at that truck

More videos on friendship please.

I've seen this advice in many films from school of life. It sounds helpful, but I'm so smart that I always forget to use it while I'm with "friends".

The sound is low!

I have aquiantes but I dont have friends, probably just one and dont trust anybody 100%.
People tend to judge so much and I'm afraid to show my vulnerability. Hate to open up to realize afterwards that I was only judged.

How old are they?

I have the best friend ever. How i live my life is by pure mental chaos and structure. I know when im on a human to human level i talk crazy and in that crazy i find firends. People are crazy and want to be. To my friends i say hi sometimes by saying ayyy sexxxy. and all my friends think wow hes crazy but hay so am i and than they say something equally crazy back.

A major reason why I'm so drawn to all the videos of the school of life is the presenter's voice. So Soothing and warm. Makes me feel like snuggling up with him.

this is pretty beautiful <3

Please have more videos on friendship. It's hard. I don't know what to do.

I wiped out on my skateboard going downhill today on a campus sidewalk while eating curly fries, got a hand up by a passing stranger, saw the giant rock on the sidewalk and made it a joke that it attempted to put a hit out on me, but then zoomed away not realizing I still had 10 minutes before class to talk. I'll take my time next time, I think I was thinking of anyone possibly laughing and fled prematurely.

So i have a friend who has this other friend who she is best friends with. I feel like I never get to spend any time with my friend anymore because she is always with the other girl named Amelia. That is what we will call her. I have nothing against Amelia. I am gonna call my friend Lily. She has anger issues which I know, but I feel like Lily is always even madder then she used to be when she sees me. She seems fine over text but in real life she acts like I am dumb when I ask her simple questions about life. I am just curious but sometimes she takes it the wrong way and gets annoyed. Plus, she and Amelia are OBSESSED with BTS, which i don't mind. But I feel like it has taken over Lily's life. She brings her dolls to class which is fine but when I ask about the band she gets all defensive. Idk what to do because I am scared to talk to her and I do not know what to say. Any advice for me?

I once HAD a very strong platonic friend. Love him like a brother. I think I was too vulnerable though. I drove him away after messing up. Lesson learned. Don't be vulnerable. Haven't opened up to anyone in about 5 years. Haven't been hurt since either. Win-win.

I was watching sad songs ended up here why...?

yes i need to do this

Is there a guide of how much vulnerable we could show? How much that they dont get scared and run away? I guess you could only show your vulnerability when you are mentally healthy. Those with ongoing depression, unhappy all the time, feel stuck, ... shouldnt reveal too much. People has their own burden and they dont want to carry more.

Took me 34 years to realize it

1 on 1 is the key. "That group that sits over there" you can pretty much tell, they've made a name for themselves as people that don't have opinions just a hive mind of re activeness to people they boast fearlessly. I know I can pass on attempting to win over that again, if the time I did interact with "that group over there" I either did or didn't feel a weird passive aggressive condescending tension.

Good friends or best friends, sometime, they can be a silent killer, without knowing. 👍👍👍

Have to do this cautiously though. Risky doing this with new friends that you meet during a crisis. Tends to attract narcs/manipulators (in my experience).

Friendships are how you accept fellow humans for what they are in their entire mind and soul, good and bad, fun and boredom.
I realised the more I accepted myself the more I was able to accept others and vice versa.
There will be points in time where you might lose faith in her/him but sticking till the end and being completely honest with yourself and her/him will show the true extent of the unassuming beautiful experience that is a good friendship.

What’s a friend? not even kidding...

So to become friends with this dude I shall drop my ice cream

Oh!

That’s a beard

Aka Friendship & Laziness

Turns out, vulnerable people have less friends cause they do nothing but drags others down. After all, vulnerability makes you lazy and stupid.

Who else thought it was a gigantic smile plastered on his face until he ate icecream, and realized it actually was his beard?

That’s friendship.

The person I love most is so endearing and special because he dared to trust me enough to show me his soft side….many years ago. At the time, I had NO idea how terrifying that was for him, but now that I do it’s like the most beautiful gift he could ever have given me. Knowing that he has vulnerabilities too, makes me more willing and able to share my own. He seems to think that life is just easy and everything is rosy for me….when he has no idea how untrue that is. I guess my personality just makes it appear easy. But now, understanding that dynamic between us, I like to think it could be the catalyst for even deeper, healthier connection; and that we could strengthen our bond by simply being honest about our individual fears and weaknesses. It kinda gives me butterflies to imagine how beautiful a thing it could be.

I've found that lying and boxing up will get you short term rewards more easily, but being open about your vulnerabilities build more long term trust and interest.

Very good

Can you please make a video about "over-sharing"? I have always thought that I should be vulnerable and share secrets and so on with friends. But I have been told by my closest friends to be careful about giving too much information to others. It is not that they don't want to hear. It is that some people do not deserve to hear or know this information about me. Some people may be uncomfortable. Some people may use it against me. I am learning about "boundaries".

I'm working on not being this at all being a stronger person and overcome people who think I will be vulnerable but I'm not I think this applies to everyone not just friends.

Thank you!
