losing friends + making new ones | a candid chat

i freakin' love you if you're watching this.

honestly this has been one of the hardest years of my life, in terms of mental health, physical health, and friendships. i do this thing where i stop trusting everyone and i turn really inward and i stop being able to express myself and how i'm feeling, and i basically become seriously toxic to anyone close to me. but anyways, i'm feeling a bit better, and this video is my attempt at explaining how i cope with losing friends, and i hope it can impact you in some way or another. if you need to chat, i really encourage you to leave a comment below...the people that watch these videos are amazing, including you. one big supportive family!!! xoxo jaim

I’m going into adulthood rn and I’ve lost a lot of friends and I’m trying to move on and learn that it’s okay to be alone for a bit :)

College friends that I had amazing nights with full of laughter, deep talks, adventure etc, all of them now no longer want to hang out. Some were my fault, others were theirs, some just grew distant as we had less in common than we did in college. It's rough looking back at all the memories of what the friendships were and not being able to experience it again. I guess it's a good opportunity to expand as a person, but it's rough!

This topic is really interesting to me, because I feel like my whole life i've been having toxic friends. I have never really liked who I hang out with. My friends atm keep pointing out things they think are weird about my character and how I act. And it makes me think that I will never deserve real friends. But this video helped a little, i'm trying to grasp on to hope. Thank you Jaimee❤️❤️

Friendship's are like teeth. When you loose one, it takes time to process. Sometimes you can fix them, sometimes you have to remove them. Very few stay healthy until the end.

[ClaudiaJeann]

The biggest lesson I've learnt is to not have people that make me feel like we are in an unspoken competition. It may sound really weird but it felt like they were constantly making comparisons & they actually didn't want me to succeed at anything and for awhile I was definitely doing the black & white thing. But now I've just realised that it's not their fault that society tries to pin girls against each other and we were just at different stages in our life and no one is necessarily in the wrong!

This really helped! I recently lost 4 friends over something that is so small, looking at it. But this has helped me open my third eye and get back to my center.

i needed this right now, everything happens for a reason thank you so much for this in depth video, i was truly meant to find this💜

[ebonyrose]

you posted this at such a good time. i'm in a weird transition of finding new friends because i'm outgrowing my old high school friends. lucy moon also did a similar vid, it's awesome too!

[coolrthanafreezr]

Girl this is amazing, recently I've been struggling with friendships and general and have really been questioning who really are my friends. It can be really hard. But honestly I can say that the video made me just really excited for new relationships, and for becoming my own person regardless of the people in my life. I guess just being happy with who I am, and where I'm at in my life. And knowing those relationship that I desire will come, that everything happens for a reason, and everything works itself out. Thanks so much for this. Much love 😘

Thank you for this. I lost a whole group of friends recently and it’s been really hard to feel like I can make friends again. A lot of what you said really resonated with me. I appreciate you!

[willownoel]

Honestly, since going to college this has been something that's been on my mind, so I really enjoyed your thoughts.

PREACH 🙏🏼 9:56 -10:20 you have no ideas how much this video helped me!

[vantaefemke]

While thinking about life and which people are worth it for me, I started crying when you mentioned making new friends because I'm nowhere right now to be at a place where I can do this. Also it is very nice to listen to something like this right now.

[injesusnameamenn]

love how real your videos are! i relate so much to what you say. lets be friends!!

[yumyumb]

I was just starting to think I wasn't put on this planet to have anyone in my corner. 39 years old and there's just no one really here. Mainly my mom and of course my son. Great content and better understanding.
