Why I still have no friends - 2020 update (what has changed)

So today marks the anniversary, the 2-year

anniversary since I made my smash hit Why

I Have No Friends, which I think is how

most of you guys found my channel in the

first place. And I thought, well, it's

been 2 years now, 2 years has passed, how

do I feel now about having friends and not

having friends? Do I have friends yet?

No, I don't. So if you remember the

original video, I talked about how I

wasn't really interested in male company

because I'm not gay. Well, it's been 2

years since then, and I can honestly say

that my way of thinking has not really

changed at all. And I did try to be

open-minded. Everyone was telling me that

I should try hanging out with guys. It'll

be fun. I need to have male friends. And I

listened to them, and over the years, I

did make attempts to hang out with guys.

Actually, over the last 2 years, I met

quite a lot of men. I met TkyoSam, I met

David Bond, Ice Poseidon, Elvis the Alien,

George. And I guess it was okay meeting

them. It was kind of interesting hanging

out and seeing what they had to say, but I

wouldn't really want to meet them a second

time. I felt like one time was just

enough. And after experiencing hanging out

with them and going bar hopping and going

clubbing, I can honestly say that having

male friends and hanging out with friends

is not as great as everyone seems to be

trying to convince me that it is. To be

honest, I'd rather just sit by myself

playing Rainbow Six or playing some

Scrabble Go on my phone or just staring

out the window daydreaming. I feel like

that's way more enjoyable and relaxing

than hanging out with a bunch of sweaty

men. I don't really understand why so many

people keep trying to convince me that

having male friends is so important. They

say stuff to me like, they Daniel, don't

you ever wish you had a bunch of male

friends who you could just hang out with

and drink alcohol with and do

dumb stuff with? And honestly, I've never

really wanted that. I've never really felt

like having a bunch of guy friends— I

never felt like having a bunch of guy

friends would actually make me happy. I

never felt like that was a big priority.

It's not really high up there on my list

of priorities in life. There was one time

when I met this guy who knows my channel.

I met him in Japan and then I hung out

with a bunch of his friends. And it was so

boring. Okay, the first hour was kind of

nice, I guess, but after about an hour or

2, I just felt really bored and I just

wanted to go home. I was sitting there

listening to these people that I barely

knew, listening to them tell me their life

story, and I just honestly could not care

less. I won't name names because I don't

want to hurt anyone's feelings. I guess

for most people, having friends is

important because they want other people

to be able to do things together with.

But for me personally, all of the things I

enjoy doing, I don't need friends to be

able to do them. Well, I guess there is

one thing that I really enjoy doing, but I

need a certain type of friend to be able

to do that with. And I don't really want

to do that activity with a guy because

that's just— nothing wrong with it, but to

me personally, it's just a little bit Um,

then sometimes people ask me, well, don't

you want to have friends so you can get

wasted and drink alcohol? No, I can get

wasted all by myself, thank you very much.

Who remembers when I got this bottle

opener in Germany? See, don't need friends

to have a good time.

Um, so yes, basically, uh,

completely forgot what I was gonna say.

Um, yes, so really, if I had to choose

between hanging out with a bunch of guys

in a club,

or if I could just stay at home and play

Rainbow Six by myself with a nice cool

Asahi beer. I think I'd rather just spend

the time by myself. I think I prefer my

own company instead of other people's

company. Now there is one big problem that

I have, and it involves being very

depressed and feeling very lonely and

empty inside. And you might be thinking,

well, if I had friends, then maybe I

wouldn't feel so lonely. But the problem

is I could have 1 billion friends, and I

think this feeling of sadness and

loneliness would still be there because

the only kind of— I feel like even

if I had 100 really good friends, it

wouldn't really take away this feeling of

crippling loneliness. And the only way

that I can get rid of this feeling of

loneliness would be to have some kind of

relationship with a nice young attractive

girl. Between the ages of 22 and

30 would be preferable.

You know, sometimes as a man we have this

feeling deep inside of ourselves, this

craving to have something real and

concrete that you can't really get by just

having male friends. A famous old man once

said that we are brought into this world

as incomplete pieces, and our life goal

is to find that other piece makes us

whole, and I just don't really feel like

having male friends would be able to fit

in my hole. So it's now 2020 and I'm 31

years old, and I can honestly say that I

don't really feel like I have any friends.

Sure, there's people I chat to online now

and then, but I don't really think of them

as friends. They're just like people I

know, or people who know my channel, and

then we met up a few times.

For example, there's George, and I enjoyed

hanging out with him, and I enjoyed his

company, and maybe I could

consider him to be a friend. But it's not

like we chat all the time. We don't talk

all the time every day, and we don't meet

up all the time. And it's not like I'm

really desperate to see him again. If we

happen to be in the same country again,

then sure, I'd like to hang out again,

and it'll be fun, but it's not really a

top priority for me. I think what I'm

trying to say is that the kind of

happiness that I'm searching for in life

can't really be achieved by having male

friends or hanging out with a bunch of

men.

So in conclusion, still don't really care

about having friends. I don't think I'll

ever care about having friends to hang out

with. And I'm still looking for that

special lady who will be able to satisfy

all of my social cravings as a social

creature. There's just so much activity

out here. Look at all this nature, so

green. What is

this weird white thing? Look, there's like

white patches on the ground.

Looks strange.

I thought it was paper, but it looks like

it's made by an insect.

Or maybe it is paper. And finally, I

wanted to show you my pond in a jar. I

took this jar of pond water out of the

pond about a few days ago, and there's

some really weird things happening inside

of it. If I can show you, zoom in.

Look at this. That's so weird.

That definitely was not in the jar a few

days ago. There was just these little worm

things, and now it's turned into a big

black and green thing. It's really big.

Also, the green algae stuff started

expanding. There didn't used to be this

much algae.

Inside of it. Oh, look at it!

What the hell is that? I think it's a

caterpillar, but I didn't know

caterpillars lived in water.

If anyone knows what this is, I would love

to know. But there's also tiny little

Flea things swimming around in there.

It's got this big lump of black goo

attached to its backside. I'm not sure

what that is either.

Weird. Maybe it's a dragonfly. Mimo,

mimo, mimo,

mimo.

You hiss at me? Meemaw.

Meemaw.

Mrs. Meemaw.

Where are you going? Where are you

going?
