Gen Z breh: I'm 25 and have no friends

[GrindtooFilthy]

Up until a few years ago I've had a pretty solid/close group of friends.

Basically from that point I realized nobody will have your back unconditionally like family will. My skills and my family are all I really need.

It's funny, but Tyrese actually had a stream about 10 years ago where he pointed out that your friends probably stress you out more than you realize and that you really need to keep your distance or cut them entirely. That you're basically signing up to put up with a bunch of mentally-taxing BS when you meet up with them. Dude wasn't lying.

Even applies to friends you consider A1 or everyone considers "good people".

Some people literally have friends to have friends but it's hurting them more than contributing to them.

Spoiler: Edit: The Tyrese video.

No matter how you feel about him, I applied this advice for nearly the last 10 years and. it's paid off tremendously.


If you really take some extra time to analyze things about your friends you may be surprised how much they're brining you down while boosting themselves up. At the end of the day, a lot of people not going to have much to show for after their friendships because friends were basically in it for themselves.

If I took away all the time I spent with my friends and focused on myself instead that was the realization for me.

First I stopped going out one weekend so I can learn to code, then did it another weekend, then another, etc. Eventually friends stopped calling and I really got to focusing.

Years later: BSCS, great job in tech, about to start a another degree is STEM, etc.

Meanwhile, while my friends aren't doing bad, they never leveled up. I catch up with them every now-and-then and it ain't the same because I'm "out the loop" but I'm much better off for it. Hearing about everything, I'm glad I chose the route I did.

If they only hit you up on weekends to go out they wack, I talk to some of my boys everyday or every other day.

Some once a month cause they got family

Others maybe once a year and that’s because they live over seas

Imho, it’s better he realizes that now at 25. Maybe he can branch out and find new people. It’s what life is all about. Making connections, creating new ways.

Better to have that ahead of you instead of being older and in a rut trying to breakout

No friends?

Get a Garmin Forerunner watch, some New Balance 880s, a route popular with runners and stop being a bytch.

That watch is all the friend you need you weak minded b*stard. Who has time for friends when you need to escape being broke

Easy lick right here. We can rob this guy and he has no muscle to retaliate.

I’d put u in the dirt OG

U own zero firearms

 

[Apprentice]

No one in life gets far with zero network and friends. You’re not going to obtain “motion.”

Black men should be looking to make friends and network..we need to stick together. That’s why we are as disconnected as we are. Simple as that really.

Network =/= friends

Stop thinking people u do business wit is your friend
