Vlog Every Day August[br]Los Angeles! ...and me, Paul!

0:00:08.130,0:00:15.089
This is not a sad vlog, the topic might seem[br]like it, but it's really just a confused vlog.

0:00:15.089,0:00:18.449
I don't know how to hang out with people!

0:00:18.449,0:00:19.449
Just to hang out!

0:00:19.449,0:00:22.880
Like, it seems like a thing people do.

0:00:22.880,0:00:24.810
I don't know how to get there.

0:00:24.810,0:00:30.699
If there's a thing that I specifically want[br]to do, like go to a movie, go to a restaurant,

0:00:30.699,0:00:37.540
go to a beach, go to VidCon, then I can say,[br]"Hey, friend!

0:00:37.540,0:00:38.900
Want to do these things with me?

0:00:38.900,0:00:40.150
Want to meet up when we're there?

0:00:40.150,0:00:43.170
Want to, like, talk about the thing that we're[br]doing?"

0:00:43.170,0:00:44.870
I can do that!

0:00:44.870,0:00:49.620
But outside of that, it's hard for me to go[br]from no catalyst to just thinking, this is

0:00:49.620,0:00:54.600
a person who is near me, I think we're kinda[br]friends, I would like to hang out with them,

0:00:54.600,0:00:57.300
and then...

0:00:57.300,0:00:58.960
making that happen!

0:00:58.960,0:01:03.620
Ho-- how do-- how do people do-- how do people[br]do that?

0:01:03.620,0:01:11.710
In high school, I would call up my friend[br]across the street, Erik, and say, "Hey, want

0:01:11.710,0:01:15.360
to play computer games or something?"

0:01:15.360,0:01:16.360
Um.

0:01:16.360,0:01:20.180
Or he'd call me up and say, "Hey, get your[br]stupid butt out here, we're going to go to

0:01:20.180,0:01:23.090
the mall or something."

0:01:23.090,0:01:24.090
And then we would!

0:01:24.090,0:01:29.350
Because I've developed many of my friendships[br]with people on the internet, I'm not exactly

0:01:29.350,0:01:31.820
sure where the appropriate boundaries are.

0:01:31.820,0:01:36.180
Like, I have no problems tweeting one of my[br]friends at two o'clock in the morning.

0:01:36.180,0:01:41.870
Or, even like, sending them a direct message[br]at any time of the day with no instigation.

0:01:41.870,0:01:44.630
Easy peasey, can do it, no problem.

0:01:44.630,0:01:45.630
BUT

0:01:45.630,0:01:49.810
If I'm seeing somebody that I think I'm kind[br]of friends with, and they're doing something

0:01:49.810,0:01:51.470
in LA?

0:01:51.470,0:01:53.229
Can I just...

0:01:53.229,0:01:58.881
tweet at them or direct message them or email[br]them saying, "Hey, I saw that you're, you're

0:01:58.881,0:02:02.970
doing this thing! i live near that!

0:02:02.970,0:02:03.970
Can I?

0:02:03.970,0:02:06.799
Can I join in?"

0:02:06.799,0:02:10.909
I have this concern in the back of my mind[br]that I presume too much of our friendship.

0:02:10.909,0:02:17.139
Like, I mostly know people from talking with[br]them on twitter, so maybe they don't want

0:02:17.139,0:02:19.510
to go to a concert with me!

0:02:19.510,0:02:23.709
Maybe they don't want to go hike in the mountains[br]with me!

0:02:23.709,0:02:24.709
I...

0:02:24.709,0:02:25.870
I don't know!

0:02:25.870,0:02:26.870
How do you find out?

0:02:26.870,0:02:29.389
Do you just ask people, "Hey, are we friends?"

0:02:29.389,0:02:30.389
I can do that!

0:02:30.389,0:02:33.689
I like taking the direct approach on things,[br]I'm just not sure if it's acceptable.

0:02:34.420,0:02:38.099
I mean, I've tried going to events, like at[br]the YouTube Space LA.

0:02:38.099,0:02:39.939
Uh, I've tried going there.

0:02:39.939,0:02:41.040
And meeting people.

0:02:41.040,0:02:42.980
That kinda, kinda worked.

0:02:42.980,0:02:46.689
I definitely made friends with people at VidCon...

0:02:46.689,0:02:49.560
most of them were not in LA!

0:02:49.560,0:02:50.560
*pbbt!*

0:02:50.560,0:02:52.749
And the weird thing is, I don't feel like[br]I have a lack of friends.

0:02:52.749,0:02:55.689
I feel like I've got plenty of friends, LOTS[br]of friends, even.

0:02:55.689,0:02:56.900
I'm just not sure.

0:02:56.900,0:03:02.919
I'm just not sure how to be in their vicinity,[br]doing friend things.

0:03:02.919,0:03:03.919
It's ridiculous.

0:03:03.919,0:03:08.579
I feel like other people figured out how to[br]do friend things, like, in elementary school

0:03:08.579,0:03:11.150
or junior high or high school or...

0:03:11.150,0:03:14.000
I don't know, other things that people do[br]when they're young.

0:03:14.000,0:03:16.520
I... did not!

0:03:18.580,0:03:25.100
So, this whole #VEDA is just to ask you the[br]question, "How do you know how good of friends

0:03:25.120,0:03:28.230
you are with somebody from the internet?

0:03:28.230,0:03:33.559
And what are the boundaries about asking to[br]do things with them?"

0:03:33.559,0:03:36.799
Which, I think, is the way to get to be better[br]friends.

0:03:36.799,0:03:38.779
Please tell me in the comments below.

0:03:38.779,0:03:40.540
I literally do not know.

0:03:40.540,0:03:42.200
I wanna, I wanna find out!

0:03:42.200,0:03:45.650
So I can be a good friend who hangs out with[br]friends.

0:03:45.650,0:03:48.999
Or tell me anything that matters to you, because[br]I want to know what matters to you.

0:03:48.999,0:03:51.090
Also, I have a Patreon!

0:03:51.090,0:03:52.799
Also I do some live shows.

0:03:52.799,0:03:54.579
Check all those out on my channel...

0:03:54.579,0:03:56.519
All the promo in this video, too.

0:03:57.260,0:04:00.659
Thank you for making it to the end of my video,[br]this is where I always say:

0:04:00.659,0:04:01.719
Tomorrow

0:04:01.719,0:04:02.719
will be even better!

0:04:02.719,0:04:03.719
*whispers*: Ooh!

0:04:03.719,0:04:05.159
I'm going to the beach!
