I'm 62 and have never really been outgoing but now I could care less about people as friends. I find most people are a waste of time.

[skeller]

I think we have all been, even to a small extent, several of these types at different times of our lives. The hardest thing to do is to look in the mirror and recognize these traits with the goal of changing. Because, after all, if you want to get rid of these people in your life, you have to make sure you’re not one of them yourself!

I narrowed my friend’s down to my dog, chickens, geese, goats and sheep on a small hobby farm.

[gladiammgtow]

So true I started dumping toxic family, friends and work places in my mid 40's. At 55 I am quite the hermit. I love it. Debt free, live 500 meters from the shops. Fix my own house and car. Hardly use the car anyhow. Hopefully I will never have to work again for a boss. So many toxic people and toxic workplaces, so I will not be buying anything fancy unless I win the lotto.

Cheers from Melbourne Australia.

Some good advice I read lately was - “Stop trying to see the good in people all of the time. Observe & remember what they show you”. In other words - Action speaks louder than Words👍🏼🙂

i'm a 56 year old male and i have recently started watching your videos. i have found them so uplifting and have made me feel that i'm not alone or i am in the wrong for the way i feel towards life and people

I'm constantly running into 5's.. they are everywhere. I'm over 60 and just don't want many friends. I would like to point out, that I think its ok to be a flatterer, if there is nothing wanted in return, and of course, its genuine. I like to brighten peoples day by saying something nice and giving credit where its due; that positive energy gets passed on.

[CT-pvgu]

Especially work colleagues. They were never friends to begin with. When there’s money involved and everyone’s living different lives - it gets messy quickly. Never try to be friends with them.

[richardbuki]

I am afraid that these categories cover at least 80% of our society...

[Marcia_Toms]

A few years ago I became very ill and was dropped by several friends. I was upset at the time but can see them for what they really were. I’ve noticed most friends always want something from you.

[kevinfraser]

Add to this list at 9 and 10 - the self-righteous and, worst of all personality types, the narcissist.

[mrdoodle]

I had a relationship with a narcissist when I was in my 20's. She had a number of the traits that you mentioned. She dumped me when I no longer gave her the flattery supply she craved. It took years for me to get over that break up but in hindsight it saved me a lot of heartache in the long run not to mention the $'s.

[michaelbrett]

Very astute observations.
I'm 61 and only now can I honestly say that I walk around being myself, trying to be kind and reasonable having realised that as the Chinese say" what other people think of you is none of your business " . A reasonable amount of people fill your categories and it can take years to realise that it's them not you that is the problem. Hope everyone has a nice day.😊

[waluigi]

The last few types can be summed up in the typical bully at school or at work. The scary part is, that most people find them likeable and make them popular. I think that's because they give into the fear of being bullied themselves, so they rather go along with them. The other reason is to also get "popular" by being close to the bully. The more you think, and the more empathy you have, the less people will like you. Naturally there are those who will appreciate you, but it's so hard to find, that most rather choose to have pets or play video games, than to engage with others.

[ckjlgp]

I’m 63 and have dumped 5 previous good friends (I thought) that I would go away with on motorcycle trips and so on but just found them draining. All one friend wanted is to hear all about your misfortunes which really cheered him up ! Another never and I mean never stopped talking but would never let me get a word in. You just can’t beat a good wife of 44 years and my kids for real friendship. So much happier

[denismichaeljames]

When I was 30 a wise and lovely 70 year old gave me a wonderful piece of advice. And said; Always remember that everyone is lovely for half an hour, but always have at least 5 exit strategies and choose the most timely and believable one to abandon them. And its so often saved me and got me home safely.

[VincentLee-vp]

Hi Nick, i just watched your videos today and i find it very enlightening. Im in fact experiencing all this now in my 40s and totally agreed with you. Have to add a point that "Selfishness" is inherent in everyone, it's just to what extent and i have seen it in almost everyone i knew, be it family or friends. The ones that have some consideration for others are the treasured people in my life now.

[Javineil]

Spot on. I have met a fed Number 8s. Nasty creepy people who get on at first but usually get found out and then move on. I’m 62 and love this channel. Very relaxing to watch and very wise words.

[honeybeejourney]

Funny you should mention this. A friend texted me saying, "Let's get together after the holidays." I texted back, "After the holidays? Are you not seeing friends during the holdays?" She ended up telling me that she didn't think I was a match for her other friends. Well, people, that was it. I knew the end of the road with her had come. And, she's not the first. Over the past 5 years I have been slowly cutting out friendships with people who are narcissistic, not empathetic, controlling. I have about 4 friends- of whom one is my cousin. Another one lives in a different city and we see each other 3-4 times a year.

[SurpriseMeJT]

I’m in my 40’s and have been dropping people throughout my life but being more aggressive about it as I get older. My time is too important to me to waste it having to deal with narcissistic and immoral users, especially family members. Heck, I don’t even live on the same continent as my family and each time I visit them or they visit me, I am reminded why I left them. Life is so much better now.
