Why don’t I have any friends? | Mel Robbins #Shorts

—

Over the years, my friend circle has become so small it’s basically a dot at this point 😂

Friendship nowadays for me is basically bumping into someone, agreeing we have to get together, then never following through. I’m sure you can relate.

But here’s the truth: you MEAN it when you say you want to get together (at least most of the time😉) but there are 5️⃣ lies that you’re telling yourself that get in the way.

In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I’m revealing those lies to help you (and me) create and build more meaningful friendships.

Real friends show up at your door even if there's no party going on.

“the toilet of comparison” THANK YOU! 🙌🏼

[aimeehodgin]

I thought I needed friends, but after several wackadoo's I told my Husband, I am good! He agreed, now, we are living our best lives!

Mel, I met you many years back, and you helped me so much. I am hated and gossiped about by family and so-called friends. I was spinning out of control, trying to prove them wrong. Now, I am at piece and finishing school. Life is good.

Been off of social media with "friends" for about over a I've been. Psychology Today was right, it's just not healthy.

I came off of social media because of how it made me feel. 😢

"in the toilet of compassion" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[ohplezz]

As an adult with a family and house and cars to all take care of and maintain and etc with a 50 hour work week and an hour commute each way, I don’t have time for friends. When I do get some free time, I sleep!!

[carriejoza]

I love it- "swimming in the toliet of comparison". Not me. I am not a follower. I have taken myself off of social media years ago because I didn't want to find myself comparing myself to others. I don't need validation by "friends" or acquaintances. I do my own thing and am happy. Your videos and posts are so insightful - ❤💯

Want from life.
No words left for your praise .Wish you a very good health.

Having a new understanding of something doesn't make your previous understanding of it a lie. This is a very important thing to know. Respect and value your former self and where you were, so you can respect and value yourself now where you are.

Mel, I really enjoy ALL of your podcasts. I look forward to each one every week. You are doing an amazing job getting some wonderful and important messages out to the universe. It really has changed my life. Keep doing the work! And if no one has said it to you today, I love you. Be sure to take a moment to breathe in this love message. 😊

Ive had many friendships thoughout my life (im 70) and im still friends to this day with some that ive chosen carefully. I still make new friends today that i choose carefully, its an instinctive thing with me, when you meet someone and instantly have a connection. Ive been blessed with family and friends. ❤

I needed to hear this. I work full time doing a career I adore. I'm widowed and that happened 5 years ago at a young age. I'm raising our now preteen son essentially on my own. I have limited resources as far as help goes - MIL and his half sisters (all of who are amazing women) It is hard sometimes feeling like I have no social life anymore but it's something I'm starting to work on. My life isn't meant to be a big party right now but I do need to get out in the world with friends at least a little bit!

Most people have 1-2 true friends & the rest are acquaintances. If your apt
burns down in the middle of the night, a true friend would let you sleep over on short notice if asked. Just 1 opinion in a sea of
opinions.😊

I think the older we get we stop caring about what others think of us and specially if we are not invited to the party. 🎊 😅who gives a 💩

[angeltravelstheworld]

The older I get, the less I want those parties. I'm more jealous, when I see people in spectacular nature somewhere...enjoying themselves by a river or with a fire pit. Slow living is where it's at :)

[commonsense]

If you join a group of people with similar interests you are bound to meet a few that are your “people”
Joined some running groups and I never wait for someone to ask me to go. Just show up for a run and socialize after.

[Steelhorsecowboy]

I like people and make friends easily but I just don't feel the desire to socialize anymore. When I get a spare moment, I want to relax at home with no obligations.

I'm not good at maintaining friendships. I don't call, write or reach out. I like the idea of friends but really don't want to bother. I think having friends is healthy.

Mel, I know some people frown on it, but since we are such a visual society, I think it is perfectly okay to freshen 😉 up at a doctors office. You look very refreshed and yes, I can tell because you do look much better, as women say, you don’t look so haggard anymore AND….good for you! It’s your face and you look marrrvelous!😊
