minimalist queen, k-pop idol, secret service agent, top model, Michelin star chef, top notch therapist, world class envelope, is there ANYTHING Kelly stamps can't do?
Being alone can be very addictive. Once you’ve tasted peace, tranquility and self satisfaction and personal growth, you cannot go back. Don’t get me wrong company is nice with the right people. But I enjoy having my own space and my own presence 🥰 I’m never really alone cause God is with me, Jesus lives in me❤️ and friends and family are always a call away.
Fact ! I haven't uploaded a video on my channel in so long cuz it's hard for lonely introverts like I and Kelly to think of good ideas :( I'm hoping for good ideas from Kelly :)
You remind me SO MUCH of my aunt. She’s super smart, successful, SINGLEEE, and she’s got moneeyyyy. People are always trying to convince her to get married. These people are ALWAYS the ones that are married, miserable, and broke 😒😒😒
@@fastingchic5212 I don't blame you. This world is a crock of shyt and you will be constantly worried about them. I mean I have a very negative bitter view of humans due to my negative experiences. And I really don't understand why anyone likes this world. It is what it is.
I showed this to my 13 year old daughter whos struggling with not being able to go to school and see friends during the panaramic. Thank you for lifting her spirits and our vibes!
As Kelly Stamps suggested, I do talk to bugs, (and butterflies, pigeons, and dogs)... but I'm not sure if doing so makes me seem more crazy instead of less? 😅
I'm 23 and I also live alone. When I'm around people I feel like I'm suffocating and although I love my family, spending more than a few hours in their presence makes me severely aggitated. Alone at home there are times when I get lonely but I find that the feeling goes away as soon as I go to the store. Just being around people, even strangers for a short period of time is enough to remind me of why I prefer being alone 😂😂 Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
One of the things I love about this video is that it shows exactly how someone can be depressed and grieving to a disabling degree, and yet still "look" perfectly fine on the outside. Never assume. Feelings are everywhere. Thanks Kelly :)
I agree, Nicole. In fact I think the technology we have now has made a lot of people feel more lonely. Too much screen time is not healthy I believe. Every time I go out now I can't help but notice that nearly everyone is walking along staring at their phones and not noticing all that is going on around them, be it nature or anything...
The beauty of this isolation period is: "friends" who promise to get together and fall through no longer have the ability to disappoint me. They don't even have to pretend to try. Stress relieved.
Omg yes I have friends who’ve said they wanted to travel then when it came time to save and plan and go they’re nowhere to be found. And honestly it kind of relieves me because I know they’re talking just to talk but they won’t actually make moves so I can spend that money with people who are actually ready Sad but people show you who you can end up relying on
I'm certain there are others who share that sentiment. As I am now, I don't. Not that I don't want to. When I sit alone doing nothing (not even listening to music), I am anything but content. I would say this is because I stimulate myself with screens much too often. So do I just keep doing nothing? Am I on the right track?
Reminds me of Outkast line "watching the ceiling fan go 'round tryna catch that feelin of instrumental, I got my pencil and plus my paper." But, yes I am very content with just being alone and not feeling like I have to accomplish something. I was busy and constantly working for a few years so this is new to me. So far I am enjoying it but that may change.
@Cheeto Licker Yes, I get it! Never know what you missing until you try it! Once you try it you'll have a better understanding of what you truly desire. Makes sense!
I'm so sorry your dad passed away. My condolences. My dad past away when I was a kid very unexpectedly, (he had a stroke) I didn't get to say goodbye and I developed a deep depression for about 2 years. I didn't get help right away and that was my mistake. I couldn't even get out of bed. I was completely numb. But, depression is always a battle. I finally got a counselor after 1 year and I worked through it with my therapist for years. Being an only child affected my depression too. Eventually, your happiness will grow again.💖 Sending love to all those who grieve during this time.
To be honest. People need to stop rushing into relationships, especially if they are truly not ready to move on from a previous relationship or not loving themselves👌🏾
Whenever I'm busy enough making plans and working, I tend to forget that I'm single and other people exist, then I feel like I achieve this contentment. From the moment I relax, open gay apps, and start seeing other people, other bodies, many possibilities (an illusion, I know), I drown in frustration and start needing someone, specially because I have no patience to hookups and it's really hard to connect with people. Then I spend some time in a hole, thinking that I'm young but I don't enjoy life, I barely have sex, I rarely experienced any healthy relationships in the past and bet I won't madly fall in love with anyone. My point is, sometimes I think this contentment is a choice since considering my examples, in my free time I should waste my energy on something else rather than gay apps, which is the thing that puts me in this void. But also we all have this need to be loved and if I only concentrate my effords into working for myself and pleasing myself, I hardly think someone will naturally appear into my life.
Ms Stampede, living alone is a choice. God says,"he will never leave you neither forsake u." Girl you are not alone if u believe in God's word. Your brave, bold, and intelligent. Keep up the self care your doing awesome! Plenty of women choose to live alone enjoy okay.
As a society we've forgotten how to spend time with our own thoughts. We're constantly reaching for the next dopamine hit, whether it's on the conveyer belt of social media or through the next big Netflix hit. Having the courage and peace to sit with your own thoughts and can feel tormenting but it's often the best way to find peace with ourselves. Really nice to see these kind of messages and sentiments shared and influenced with your audience. Keep up the great work.
@@KellyStamps 😭 see i knew i wasn’t crazy. when i get my next apartment without roommates i already know my light bill will be through the roof cause i don’t play that lmao
Girl same For the two friends I have I’m grateful for them because I don’t feel lonely when I’m around them like I do around other/large groups of people
I have this at work. when my colleagues are talking about the current Soccer matches. I don't care about these sports and some of them suggested me to look more into them because they want to know what I think about it. But we are all unique and you don't have to share every little interest. Just find some common topics that you all can connect to. For me, that is for example movies and tv shows.
Loneliness and boredom can be tricky to tackle. Loneliness is the gap between the company you want and the company you have, and it's possible to not have reasonable access to the company you want. For example, I suffer from loneliness based depression because I'm in my 30s and have never come close to being in a relationship, for many reasons. Then there is boredom, which is essentially the perceived absence of stimuli, which can exist in different degrees. There's the bad kind of boredom, which is when you want to do something positively stimulating, but you are either doing nothing or you are doing something you don't find stimulating. Then there's the content kind of boredom where there's nothing to do, but you're fine with it even though you'd probably prefer to do something fun. Also, I have that exact $100 bill towel and it's gotten zero use in the 5+ years I've had it because I never go to the beach, haha.
It's really nice seeing someone else tolerating being alone most of the time. This era is HORRIBLE, but I love not being obligated to see people. Once I look past my impending doom and crippling anxiety, I'm thriving!!
Another youtuber I follow once said, “If you can move to a place where you feel happy just to leave the house then that’s probably the place for you.” Those words have since stuck with me.
Just want to say that this was the best better help ad I’ve seen because it feels more heartfelt instead of the cold and clinical delivery of a script that most you tubers make. Great vid btw☺️
As a fierce introvert, it almost feels dirty to have enjoyed the non-stop "Aloneness". I still reach out to people more for their sake than mine, but you get more time to think through things with zero interruptions.
For those that need today’s notes from Stampede University Flirting 101: “Helló bonjourr helló à Chanel baguette uhh boulangerie I would like to FaceTime you in some lingerieee”
I like the idea of having stuff you use be displayed nicely/as decor. It makes it so you can consume less/more consciously, and your stuff is doing double-duty for you.
in our loneliness I feel like we are still not -entirely- alone as there are so many other people feeling the exact same way as you around the globe. tiny bit comforting
I’m with you on the grief topic, my dad died two weeks ago and I’ve been going through the motions and emotions that come with grieving while also trying to maintain day to day life and it is HARD! I hope that you are well and also thanks for the reminder that I can get back on betterhelp haha
this episode was one of my favorites :^) seeing you cope and do your best while alone makes me feel all the more at ease embracing my own situation and doing my best too. I can be alone and do the healthy things and think of Kelly and all the other great people out there doing the same thing. Thinking of it like we’re all in a “cocoon” phase of our lives together, and we’ll come out as butterflies one day~
It’s crazy to think that people feel lonely but still have friends and are simply away from them. It’s another thing when you have no friends and don’t have an option.
yes, thank god for the internet. My wife lives in Thailand and I live in the Netherlands and if we wouldn't have the internet, then we wouldn't be able to see each other every day.
Ive been watching you a few years now and Ive always wondered given the life you lead, if you ever struggled with loneliness or depression but I didn't want to be a downer in the comments. I love my alone time, but the loneliness and depression are always there. They're so rude, inviting themselves into your life uninvited. I appreciate this video...thanks again🌹
Hey! That’s me. Nice to feel I’ve got some people who feel the same. Spacing out from friend groups that I didn’t connect with anyway has really made me feel true to myself. I’ve never been more content on my own. :)
“Bold of you to assume I have any” 😂 felt that in my soul. Thank you for talking about therapy. I view therapy similarly to prayer, “if you only pray (go to therapy) when you’re in trouble, then you’re in trouble.”
Kelly, it always amazes me how mature you are and at the same time you can be silly and fun and ironic and intelligent and everything. The thing you said about therapy and friendship in adulthood is right on point, never thought about that before but it makes so much sense
Binged a bunch of your videos last night, and was sitting here with a sheet mask on my face and a cup of coffee, wishing there was more to see of Kelly Stamps. Never has the universe granted a wish so quickly 💫
Loneness is a sacred time right now. I’m a long time loner from way back in the day. People called me nuts back then bcuz many couldn’t understand the rejection of bs. But today, loneness is the new reality and it’s beautiful.
As an introvert going through the motions of mental health I totally understand. thanks for always being so open and transparent and always trying to still put a smile on our faces
Being alone and being content with it.. if you grew up as an only child like I did sometimes you dont mind spending time with "me, myself, and I".. You can always find something to do when you have to enjoy your own company.
I always used to think that not having a big friend group makes you look sad and lame and whatnot... and now I strive to be the independent queen that you are. My goal is to own it like you do, invest in quality and not quantity, and being unapologetic overall. Thank you Kelly!!!
You may or may not realize this, but you are helping so many people. ❤️ This video and the one about your Chanel bag being stolen are both such good information. You truly are an educator, Bob and I are very proud of you!
Kelly you can see in the pictures that you have a Awesome relationship with your Dads Spirit. Thanks for sharing this. A picture says a thousand words and you shared three thousand of them. He loves you Mortal and Immortal he is there with you always. With your fame he needs Heaven’s touch to watch you from above. I am not a therapist or minister just a Amtrak employee that has seen God’s touch a few times. You Blessed Queen 👸🏽 walk your path. You Dad is spiritual paving the way for you. Stay Truly blessed, Ms. Stamps
Thanks for the laughs between my tears . I lost my soulmate of over a decade, in December mysteriously he suddenly died. I’ve been so sad and lonely ... I’m going to check out your sponsor Better Help . Friends and family aren’t enough in fact it’s difficult talking about it with them they don’t understand how hard this is for me . Thanks for the silliness you share it helps
Hi Kelly, I have been watching your videos for a while now. I was watching a lot of minimalism videos and then RUclips recommended one of your videos since then I’ve been watching your videos every week like a new show on Netflix. I don’t normally comment on people’s RUclips videos but this video here… you touched my heart. You spoke to me. I just started seeing a therapist to deal with my struggle of loneliness and not liking myself very much. She has encouraged me to pick up hobbies that I can do alone and while I sit here in my apt studio in Houston writing hobbies that I want to start I turn on RUclips and saw your video…. I just want to say Thank you Thank you. Your video makes me feel understood and not alone in this. Thank you again. 💛
I agree so much with what you said about adult friendships feeling like being one another's sounding boards. Back in the day friendship seemed more focused on fun, sharing common interests, going on adventures, and just enjoying each other's company. Adult life is full of responsibilities and stress so I guess somewhere down the line you see your friends and it's like "omg this is the only break I get from my busy life so let me vent." My bad for writing an essay, but this just really resonated with me lol.
yes, and then you don't even mention the fact when one of the people gets a family,, As soon as that happens, lots of relationships come under some sort of pressure. I hear that so often.
Thank God for VIDEO CHAT and ZOOM because it's just like having the person in your home. If you were to have company at your house what would you do with them; you would sit and talk eat dinner, lunch, breakfast or watch movies together; you can do all of that with VIDEO CHAT and ZOOM. it's a beautiful thing!! Whenever I desire Company, they are just a VIDEO CHAT or ZOOM away. I LOVE it.
Yes, couldn't agree with you more. My wife lives in Thailand and myself in the Netherlands and I don't want to think about having to write letters to each other that would 2 weeks to arrive. Now we can see each other on our phones multiple times a day. Although it's not the same as being with each other in person, it's still good to have.
Yeah this one hit. Parental grief, needing to work on privacy a bit more, as well as confiding in a therapist. & Good for you on the fitness, I’m trying here too!! Also thanks for the.. “Panera” encouragement, and the loneliness fixes. Super single over here myself, and I have projects lined up lol. Beautiful film photos of the glimpses we saw!
Loneliness is too real! And it can exist even when you have people around you 😅 but the light is always there for those who seek it! The struggle is temporary & you’re stronger than you know 💪🏾 sending love & light to all the kings, queens & non-binary beauties who may be struggling during this time 🤗♥️✨
First off.... I see so much of myself in you. You’re amazing. Such a sweet, intelligent lady... I’m having a very tough time today. It comforts me watching your videos. Have a wonderful day.

Loneliness is such a real thing today. Even with all this technology.

@@kdog3334 really? Who else?
Yesssssh
Idk why but seeing Kelly describe herself as a gray-demisexual was actually super cool! I love seeing ace spectrum rep
in our loneliness I feel like we are still not -entirely- alone as there are so many other people feeling the exact same way as you around the globe. tiny bit comforting
Yes
Okay but like why did I think there was an actual scratched on my phone on the word entirely lol
Them ghosts be comforting too 😋
@@michellezavala9974 oh dude i didnt even know that putting hyphens around a word crosses it out Lol
the pics of you as a child...i cry 😭 (what would little kelly stamps be called? kelly address label?)
Lmao right
LMAO
Kelly sticker
Stamplet
the 100 dollar bill towel omg
I got it from Walgreens for $10 and it makes me feel like a CEO 😂
@@KellyStamps okay brb gotta go to walgreens
Thank you so much for talking about things like depression and mental health in general. It’s so refreshing and comforting!♥️
The extra-ness of putting the $100 towel down especially with all that wind gushing.💵
This extra effort is appreciated.👏👏👏
I’m with you on the grief topic, my dad died two weeks ago and I’ve been going through the motions and emotions that come with grieving while also trying to maintain day to day life and it is HARD! I hope that you are well and also thanks for the reminder that I can get back on betterhelp haha
@@imafidonrebeccaisi675 thank you. 💜
Being alone is the best because I get to talk to myself on the mirror and pretend that I am fighting with some douche bag
Hey Kian, are you an Julie Nolke alter ego? She argues with her mirror like a pro.
wat
@@lianvitos I wish I can have a definite answer but I don't know who that person is😭 I'm sorry
I like to pretend I'm Tiffany Pollard filming a confessional in the mirror
this episode was one of my favorites :^) seeing you cope and do your best while alone makes me feel all the more at ease embracing my own situation and doing my best too. I can be alone and do the healthy things and think of Kelly and all the other great people out there doing the same thing. Thinking of it like we’re all in a “cocoon” phase of our lives together, and we’ll come out as butterflies one day~
The best skill I learnt during lockdown was the art of being alone without being lonely. I have never been happier!
how did you learn to be alone and not feel lonely? i always feel that way especially cuz i dont talk to my few friends like that
It’s crazy to think that people feel lonely but still
have friends and are simply away from them. It’s another thing when you have no friends and don’t have an option.
yes, thank god for the internet. My wife lives in Thailand and I live in the Netherlands and if we wouldn't have the internet, then we wouldn't be able to see each other every day.
Ive been watching you a few years now and Ive always wondered given the life you lead, if you ever struggled with loneliness or depression but I didn't want to be a downer in the comments. I love my alone time, but the loneliness and depression are always there. They're so rude, inviting themselves into your life uninvited. I appreciate this video...thanks again🌹
Grief has no expiration date but what it does have is time . You'll pull through it you got this woman!
It’s crazy how we can feel so lonely when the world is the most connected it’s ever been... :0
"connected"
It sometimes is a thing, but there are people like me who like living alone. It's better for us.
Hey! That’s me. Nice to feel I’ve got some people who feel the same. Spacing out from friend groups that I didn’t connect with anyway has really made me feel true to myself. I’ve never been more content on my own. :)
True
Same here❤️
Glad to see there are more likeminded people!
Couldn't agree more
“Bold of you to assume I have any” 😂 felt that in my soul. Thank you for talking about therapy. I view therapy similarly to prayer, “if you only pray (go to therapy) when you’re in trouble, then you’re in trouble.”
I agree prayer is important and therapy ia good also
Yes, I'm so happy that you did not limit your pictures and overall feng shui in your minimalism.....uplifting images and colors are healing
when I’m living alone my favorite pastime is pretending there’s been a zombie apocalypse and going about my day that way 😅
🤣
lolll that sounds funn
I love the fact how she is not holding back from being herself. It can be very tricky, especially in front of the camera. She's such a natural 😍
That was honestly the most genuine sponsorship pitch I've ever heard ❤
I wish i can be like you😭,enjoy being alone and embrace my inner self. This video is lowkey motivating♥️ thanks kelly stamps
Love that you are an advocate for therapy. I have been a loner most of my life but it does get lonely at times. CV definitely made it worse.
Kelly, it always amazes me how mature you are and at the same time you can be silly and fun and ironic and intelligent and everything. The thing you said about therapy and friendship in adulthood is right on point, never thought about that before but it makes so much sense
litterally my favorite youtuber i know you're gonna hit 1 million this year im speaking it into existence 🧿😌
Yes! She deserves 1million!
Binged a bunch of your videos last night, and was sitting here with a sheet mask on my face and a cup of coffee, wishing there was more to see of Kelly Stamps. Never has the universe granted a wish so quickly 💫
There’s something comforting knowing that so many people also feel lonely during this time
Yup
Loneness is a sacred time right now. I’m a long time loner from way back in the day. People called me nuts back then bcuz many couldn’t understand the rejection of bs. But today, loneness is the new reality and it’s beautiful.
your videos are the perfect mix of calm and chaotic
As an introvert going through the motions of mental health I totally understand. thanks for always being so open and transparent and always trying to still put a smile on our faces
Being alone and being content with it.. if you grew up as an only child like I did sometimes you dont mind spending time with "me, myself, and I".. You can always find something to do when you have to enjoy your own company.
I always used to think that not having a big friend group makes you look sad and lame and whatnot... and now I strive to be the independent queen that you are. My goal is to own it like you do, invest in quality and not quantity, and being unapologetic overall. Thank you Kelly!!!
You may or may not realize this, but you are helping so many people. ❤️ This video and the one about your Chanel bag being stolen are both such good information. You truly are an educator, Bob and I are very proud of you!
Kelly! Thank you for sharing this! Don’t go to your friends with all your problems!!! This is great advice that never sunk in til now. Much love ❤️
This art of being alone is so underrated, I just moved out from my parents house and I struggle alot
I dont know what it is about this young amazing woman but her videos don't even feel like 10 minutes long. I like every second of it.
The aesthetic, the fashion, the decor is giving me very much queen energy 👑✨
You’re so awesome, Kelly. Yours is the best better help testimonial I’ve ever seen. I appreciate the elaboration and personal connection.
Kelly you can see in the pictures that you have a Awesome relationship with your Dads Spirit. Thanks for sharing this. A picture says a thousand words and you shared three thousand of them.
He loves you Mortal and Immortal he is there with you always. With your fame he needs Heaven’s touch to watch you from above. I am not a therapist or minister just a Amtrak employee that has seen God’s touch a few times.
You Blessed Queen 👸🏽 walk your path. You Dad is spiritual paving the way for you.
Stay Truly blessed, Ms. Stamps
Thanks for the laughs between my tears . I lost my soulmate of over a decade, in December mysteriously he suddenly died. I’ve been so sad and lonely ... I’m going to check out your sponsor Better Help .
Friends and family aren’t enough in fact it’s difficult talking about it with them they don’t understand how hard this is for me . Thanks for the silliness you share it helps
To Everyone:
TAKE CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
YOU DESERVE IT❤️❤️❤️
ugh Kelly knows what to say to make you feel ok. I recently moved a couple months ago and I struggle with being alone and seeing friends and family 😭
Living alone has freedom, such as switching rags without anxiety of another questioning why you did it💯 meow 😉🤹
Hi Kelly, I have been watching your videos for a while now. I was watching a lot of minimalism videos and then RUclips recommended one of your videos since then I’ve been watching your videos every week like a new show on Netflix. I don’t normally comment on people’s RUclips videos but this video here… you touched my heart. You spoke to me. I just started seeing a therapist to deal with my struggle of loneliness and not liking myself very much. She has encouraged me to pick up hobbies that I can do alone and while I sit here in my apt studio in Houston writing hobbies that I want to start I turn on RUclips and saw your video…. I just want to say Thank you Thank you. Your video makes me feel understood and not alone in this. Thank you again. 💛
I value my independence too much to the point where the thought of having to account for someone else day in and day out tires me oops 🤭
Oop same! An untimate relationship requires a lot of work
Keep doing you, through your loneliness you help so many people. It gives me motivation for my music. To me that’s priceless.
Every time you post, I drop everything to watch. I just love how much it feels like I'm talking to a wise friend when I watch your videos! :)
Thanks for tuning in!
I agree so much with what you said about adult friendships feeling like being one another's sounding boards. Back in the day friendship seemed more focused on fun, sharing common interests, going on adventures, and just enjoying each other's company. Adult life is full of responsibilities and stress so I guess somewhere down the line you see your friends and it's like "omg this is the only break I get from my busy life so let me vent." My bad for writing an essay, but this just really resonated with me lol.
yes, and then you don't even mention the fact when one of the people gets a family,, As soon as that happens, lots of relationships come under some sort of pressure. I hear that so often.
I just dumped a man because I needed more of this energy. Not even kidding.
Good for you queen 💃
Boss moves only
@@danidynasty literal boss babe energy right thurr
Its just what suits you, do what your heart say
@@brigeePM ❤️❤️❤️ yes!
Thank God for VIDEO CHAT and ZOOM because it's just like having the person in your home. If you were to have company at your house what would you do with them; you would sit and talk eat dinner, lunch, breakfast or watch movies together; you can do all of that with VIDEO CHAT and ZOOM. it's a beautiful thing!! Whenever I desire Company, they are just a VIDEO CHAT or ZOOM away. I LOVE it.
Yes, couldn't agree with you more. My wife lives in Thailand and myself in the Netherlands and I don't want to think about having to write letters to each other that would 2 weeks to arrive. Now we can see each other on our phones multiple times a day. Although it's not the same as being with each other in person, it's still good to have.
“Kelly Stamps posts a video”
Me: liking the video before even watching it
Yeah this one hit. Parental grief, needing to work on privacy a bit more, as well as confiding in a therapist. & Good for you on the fitness, I’m trying here too!! Also thanks for the.. “Panera” encouragement, and the loneliness fixes. Super single over here myself, and I have projects lined up lol. Beautiful film photos of the glimpses we saw!
"I wish they had my vision, my astigmatism says 90's Chanel." lmfao
Not Kelly getting personal and show up childhood photos! 😍😍 LOVE IT!
I think what I actually miss as an introvert is the option of being able to go out and meet - or just be around - new people.
Thank you for teaching us how to be alone and enjoy our solitude vs. being lonely!
I love you’re minimal / adventurous lifestyle. I love backpacking & traveling too so I feeeeeel for this! yay for new video! ❤️
Yes Kelly . Depression been kicking my ass to the moon. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone 💙♥️
Loneliness is too real! And it can exist even when you have people around you 😅 but the light is always there for those who seek it! The struggle is temporary & you’re stronger than you know 💪🏾 sending love & light to all the kings, queens & non-binary beauties who may be struggling during this time 🤗♥️✨
First off.... I see so much of myself in you.
You’re amazing. Such a sweet, intelligent lady...
I’m having a very tough time today. It comforts me watching your videos.
Have a wonderful day.
