Forgot there was more I wanted to say, but got derailed due to writing that text about how Destiny's behaviour is even more deranged and unhinged than what it already looks like.
I know it sounds crazy, but I actually believe him, which makes it even more sad. Everyone in this gnome's life hates him unless they are chasing his clout or money. His miserable ass probably did consider a likely underage discord groyper kitten he'd never met and known for a week to be one of his closest connections.
People pointed it out yesterday, but notice how many times Destiny needs to insist that he has irl friends, as if socializing, one of the most important characteristics of the human race, is something really out of the ordinary!
Why this is so funny, and you rightfully pointed it out, it's that Destiny doesn't really have friends, not one single one.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON that he's talking about when he mentions this "irl friends" are girls he's sleeping with/flying out.
Destiny has never had friends, he has always been an antisocial loser, who likely was isolated away fromt he male groups in his school. There's a reason why he only ever talks about Chris, who he himself says was a loser.
Likely, Chris was the only actual male friend he has ever had. Not even Kyle can be counted as a "real" friend, they were more like internet buddies and their relationship completely seized to exist.

These are his "friends", not a single person he hasn't sexted with or fucked. They are really his sexual orbiters, who all just eventually hope to be picked (not exaggerating, some of them, like Darrian, have pretty much stated as much on instagram stories).
Maybe, he currently considers Dan a friend, but a couple years ago he was even dodgy about that, preferring to label him as internet friend, meanwhile Dan did see him as a friend.
Btw, all of Lelayna's friends, that she made before starting to date Destiny, all universally hate him. Which is why she was so hesitant to post about him on her twitter and instagram. So his "meeting new friends through other friends" isn't even applied for his own gf.
1000% these "friends" that he met through other friends, are simply other hookup partners, very likely that he's talking of the likes of SpicyElixir.
Destiny will often seethe, when people make the statement that all his hookup partners simply are interested in him because he's famous, and will state "well acktually, this is dumb, because this is what I've been doing for 15 years, if I was a lawyer, or doctor that would also define me in the same way". This is cope, unsure whether he lies to himself enough that he has started to believe it, or he's aware of the retardedness of the statement.
Destiny doesn't have anything, other than his wealth. He will cry about it when people tell him as much, but if you remove his platform, he's nothing, he's no one.
He really doesn't have as good as social skills as he thinks, he's in fact, quite socially retarded as he immediately isolates in social settings and starts messaging with people on his phone, a universal observation that multiple people (Donut Operator, Ludwig, ChudLogic, and anyone who has been with him in a social setting) point out.
This is why he himself says he does terrible in "cold approaching" women, or even, Tinder dating (no matter of the girl's attractiveness) without using his clout.
So no social skills
Does he have any other skills, other than being a sophist? No, he's not musically talented, even tho it's his favorite interest/hobby.
He has no knowledge of pop culture, so can't even make small conversation.
Is extremely unattractive.
Short.
Whiny, nasally, high pitch, voice.
Has no hobbies.
Doesn't work out.
Can't learn new things or interest, is actually as Brittany Simon would say, very close minded.
Has no long term, or short term goals.
Has no interest in other businesses, other than streaming.
Has no achievements, other than streaming for 15 years.
Seriously, he talks about Vyvanse, and how it changed him, but analyze what he actually did:
- He read a bunch of wikipedia and documents about Israel/Palestine
Decided to debate Finkelstein, alongside Benny Morris - was humiliated for hours on dead, and treated like a child. After the debate he tried to cope saying "yeah, currently people are memeing about it, but people who actually watch it agree with me, I think there will be a turn and eventually the debate will be remembered as being a positive thing towards me, I won" (or something along those lines). Reality:
Everyone, to this day continues to mock him about it, everyone thinks Finkelstein won. The public sentiment has almost universally started to shift into calling Israel an actual genocidal state, Benny Morris pivoted even more towards the right. He's seen by almost anyone to not only have been wrong about Israel's intentions, but that he doesn't know anything about I/P.
- Spent months studying Jan 6th, with the intent of making a video to dissuade people away from voting for Trump.
Never released the video, as he intended. Trump was elected, not that his video would have actually mattered like he likes to think.
- Tried to start a media company with Lauren Southern, multiple podcast, their own site, was going to marry her and be a power couple.
Lauren rejected him and went to get fucked by other men, including Nuancebro. Destiny never made his media company, and gave up on his dreams after being humiliated by reality.
- Erudite convinces him, after two years, of retrying the media company project, starting with the podcast Bridges
It gets cancelled/sold out to Erudite due to his sexpest behaviour. All his projects that he was doing with Pisco, went to the trash, Pisco is currently doing fine and finding success without him.
- His Magnum Opus, the thing he always hangs over people's heads. He canvassed multiple weeks, in a different states in different occassions.
He didn't organize or participate in any way, other than giving money and flying at the end of each project for a weekend as a form of Mascot. The project, was done by Sejin almost completely on his own, along with Project Victory.
- Had all those guns as decorations.
Never took them for a test until a few months ago.
- Had the saxophone and guitar in his background.
Never learnt how to play the guitar, hasn't played the sax in like a decade.
He has achieved nothing, and will continue to achieve nothing. Destiny tries to present himself as this "doer", this "go-getter", but he has nothing, personally, or in his career.
Every little success that he has achieved is almost universally other people's doings. Even his YouTube channel was DEAD for basically a decade, until August came along and saved it. So even his current success is entirely another person's doing.
Destiny is quite literally a sophist, and nothing more, nothing less. All he has is a silver tongue.
So yes, I do think that people who tell him "you are nothing without your clout" are correct, and it's a valid point. A doctor, or a lawyer isn't as pathetic inter-personally or in terms of goals and achievements as Destiny.
Think about that, not even the niggas who spend all day in a hospital, their whole lives, are as fucked as this nigga is.
*Edit:
Typo, wrote Kyla instead of Kyle.
