The message from Serge, 20, did not go unnoticed.
Recently installed in ParisSerge, a young 20-year-old Swiss photographer, delivered himself October 9 on his TikTok account about the deep loneliness that he had felt since he moved in. In return, the boy received thousands of messages of support and met around sixty potential new friends.
“I just arrived in Paris and I’m making this video because I feel very alone. I would like to make friends, cool acquaintances because it gets complicated to be alone“, he begins by explaining, tears in my eyes. “I make music, I take photos, I love the 1960s, 70s, 80s, (the movie) the Boom. I’m just looking to make friends who are passionate, kind, ready to be friends with someone new. I don’t know how to make friends anymore. I miss being little”he continues.

In twenty-four hours, the video was viewed more than a million times and more than 5,000 comments were sent. “Only kind messages”underlines the young man BFM Île-de-France. To our colleagues, Serge explains that he posted his video for a “slack” Wednesday evening. The next morning when he woke up, he even said he wanted “delete video” fearing that we “mocks” of him. But he had already received hundreds of messages.
“A huge meeting for people who are alone”
A second one was then published on October 10. “I didn’t expect to receive so many messages, it touches me a lot. My heart wasn’t ready to receive so much love“is surprised by the Internet user who then suggests “a huge meeting for people who are alone” to the Louvre Museum at 2 p.m.
So around sixty young people met this Saturday in Paris, strolling from the Louvre to the Quais de Seine, passing by a bistro in the capital. “I wasn’t expecting anything when I went there with my headphones on. When a wave of people came to meet meI understood that people had really come.”
