--My friend is hosting a hamachi server with multiple people on it, some are even from different countries. For some reason, even though I am almost next-door neighbors with the host, I am the only one who has issues with server lag. I don't think it is on my end because I was able to connect to other people's servers in the past, not to mention the big multiplayer servers, but I could be wrong.
--The main problems I have - 1. The game takes a couple of minutes to get past "loading terrain". 2. I have trouble opening anything, including chat (basically just delayed lag that takes an eternity to finally process). 3. Any other players and entities stand still on my end.
--There are also a few more problems that are similar to the main ones. I have done a few things to try to fix it. I used the lagometer which was always 20.0. Not sure if that means something. I reinstalled Minecraft. I updated Java. Nothing seemed to work and that is all I know to do.
--Again, I don't think it has anything to do with me because I have joined other servers completely fine and my internet works great. What confuses me the most is that other players from around the world can join but I can't. So is there something that the host or I have to do? Please help! Thanks
** sometimes it works perfectly, then it goes back to being delayed. Is it a bandwidth problem? And if so, how can I deal with that? **

Hamachi has been squatting on an IANA-allocated IP block (25.0.0.0/8). As such, Hamachi fundamentally conflicts with the internet itself.
If you are using Hamachi, use a different solution such as proper port forwarding, or a VPN.

I was talking about the lagometer that can be toggled on/off in the settings and then using the command "/lag" which showed up as 20.0. I read an article about that which I believe said it wasn't server lag or something like that.
And about the host posting something, what kind of things would he be able to show that I wouldn't? Just so I can fill him in on what to explain.
Hamachi seems the only accessible way of connecting to each other because unfortunately the host is unable to portforward because his devices are "company owned". And I'm not entirely sure how VPN works.
So I fixed the problem simply by unplugging my Amazon Fire TV Stick. Unless it was just a coincidence, all of the problems disappeared when I took it out. Maybe it was taking up too much data or something, I don't know. Thanks for the replies, regardless!

Just a heads up, I'm awful with computers
