im 22 with no family and no friends

For anyone reading this, though I got some places to go. I am a lot better then I was yet we still have far to go. You're not alone <3

Family means nothing anymore. My so called family was more like enemies... haven't seen them in years now. Best decision ever. I'm alone now. I accept it.

it took me 35 years to accept that my family is toxic and will Never change. You are leap years ahead of where I was at age 20. You are a smart guy. Make your own happiness. take care buddy

I know that I'm just a stranger but I hope you're doing ok.

Bro, you do you. I'm not that close to my family either. My conversations with them are brief and I don't give it much thought. I used to get belted by my dad as a kid and the abuse list goes on. There is nothing wrong with not agreeing with them. Focus on your streaming bro and find a viable way to move out soon. The independence and freedom you get when you live yourself will give you the confidence to put yourself out there. Good luck man. I subscribed hoping to see an update soon.

I am 40 years old. I cut my family out of my life. the reason is, my whole family was Narcissist. I was happy to hear that you said 'Narcissistic' at 0:56 because I already noticed that your family is abusing you when I just watched your video only 50 seconds. I didn't live my life for 38 years, they manipulated and abused me. I didn't have any dream at all because they just kept having control on my life. that is why I didn't need to think anything about my future. Narcissist is really toxic and bad people. they live only for destroying other's life.what they need is, drama, chaos, attention, control and abuse. you gotta live for your life. don't talk to them, don't even meet them. they will only bring you chaos and drama. that will ruin your whole life. the earlier you run away from Narcissist, the better. it takes really long time to bounce back to normal.... what they did caused me trauma. still working on my brain system. it is hard but don't give up!! when people ask about my family, I say to them, 'I am an orphan.' even they are no longer with me, they are in my brain......this trauma makes me angry. and you should know, you realized that is Narcissism. you gotta study hard about Psychology. I read and study a lot about personality disorder. due to that trauma, I don't have any friends and family. but as I am being myself and started studying how to love myself and being as myself, life actually becomes better, still tough, but better. so first thing is first, you gotta leave your family. I know it is really tough. they ruin your life financially, emotionally, psysically, spiritually, psychologically, everything. but don't give up. you still young and there is bright future.

You are not the only one. I'm in my 40s and lost all my friends and my family wants nothing to do with me either. Take it one day at a time, like I tell myself. Control what you can, find something your good at and focus on that. It helps

I can relate to this so much, it's like you're describing my whole family and life word for word. When I was 20 I was so beat down from all the abuse, feeling lost and hopeless and just wanting to leave everything behind. I couldn't take it anymore. I packed all my things in my car one day and left, blocked everyone and drove 12 hours away to a city alone with a few thousand dollars. I'm 22 now, It's been hard with no family but I don't regret it at all and I'm so much healthier mentally being away from them and in my own space. Best advice I can give you is to hang in there. Move out and set boundaries with your family no matter how much they protest. Your life isn't about them, it's about you. Give yourself time to focus on you, be kind to yourself and trust your intuition. Hope you're doing well man, I believe in you.

Currently going through this, whole life's falling apart in 2 days, my whole childhood was gaslighting and abuse. I'm defeated at this point

I'm from Vietnam, and I'm love you, I cry when I hear your story, it so related, I'm still learn English so sorry for mistakes, but at least you have Dream to follow, so many in the earth don't know what to do in life but you know, just focus on your dream and one day you can live off on it, if you don't have friends just contact me. Wish you best of luck

At this point at 23 years old, I still haven't established myself yet I'm gonna stop dating honestly. Every time I was introduced to a new family it just made me think of how bad my own situation was and then I just ended up going away like a turtle pushes its head back to the shell. I wanna have kids in the future. I wanna be a healthy, supportive mother. So not right now. Not until I'm okay.

This hit hard. I'm in just about the same spot as you and hearing someone acknowledge they're completely alone just like me is so fucking sad. It's so unfair.

I can relate to this so much. I cut my family off because they were so toxic. I stopped talking to them when I was a junior in high school because they would treat me like shit. I bought all of my own things since I was 12 years old.. Now i’m going to be 20 in a few months and yeah they don’t really mean anything to me unfortunately...You don’t get to choose where you come from but you get to choose where you go from here. I’m lonely a lot too and feel like I can’t relate to anyone my age but if anyone ever needs someone to talk too.. I’m here... we’re all here for you!! Remember your doing so so well and if no one else has told you today... be kind to yourself. SO proud of you.

Send you some love from Toronto brother. You're waking up, you're well on your way to becoming the man you were meant to be.

brave of you to be open about this. I have not watched it completely yet but I wish you the best and I hope you will be in a better place in a couple of years.

I also fall victim to my alledged biological mother😢😭 Based on my experience so far, the best coping strategy so far is to distance yourself from that person. Stay strong bud! Talk to me if you feel running short on people to talk to.

Im 21. I dont have any family or friends either. I was mentally, physically and emotionally abused my whole childhood. I ended up with multiple mental illnesses and suicide attempts. I left at 18 and was homeless for a couple months then my job found out and helped me find places to live. I found new person who is not related to me and consider themselves my family. I have a new non biological family. Hope it gets better for you. Family doesnt have to be who you are related to. You can hopefully one day create your own family. This is so similar to my story.

It's the worst feeling ever. Bless you, I hope you find hope and purpose <3

Hey, don't let them get to you. If it helps you, you're not alone. I've also got toxic family members and I've cut most of them off especially my mother. My parents was also young when they had me and I felt like you about it when I was a teenager. You can love them for giving you life but you don't have to like them or be around them, love them from a far and put yourself 1st and don't ever let anyone ruin your inner peace, especially your family. You can create your own family when you're older and ready. For now cut off toxic family and make yourself happy by doing things you love. Your parents have lived their life as kids and young adults now it's your turn. I'm 25 and my mum was very controlling and possive and my dad lies alot, talks behind my back and also brainwashes me and always unsupportive of my relationships I had with good people. We have to enjoy being young and not let our families ruin it. Take care and I also moved out and got my own place I've been here for almost 2 years now and I've been happier now ever since. You will feel at peace and a sense of freedom when you move out, remember your doing it for yourself don't ever forget that, you only got one life so live it for you. I also have crappy people who I thought I could call friends but there not really so most of the time I feel really low and want to cry because having a good friend would make things a little better but I've cut them off now because I feel numb towards humans and emotionally and physically drained, but my focus is on myself and being healthy and happy by myself no matter the situation and also I got a kitten and she is my new best friend and cheers me up with her cuteness, I love her and I know she loves me as she shows me her affection, she is my family now and one day I hope to have my own family that I have created and become a mother that I've always wanted. Much blessings to you :)

I can relate bro im 22 with no friends and family and I live in a random state with no connections at all
