Exactly! It seems to me, that many people doesn't distinguish between the two phenomenons in the comments. Maybe you could say the same about the video. Some people like to be alone and others don't. Lots of people can be alone without feeling lonely. Being lonely is quite different. Being lonely is always very painful. ☹️
Muskan when people are lonely, it doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t have friends. They can still feel lonely while being at places with friends/family/others.
I feel loneliest when there's people around me. I love being alone. And when I'm alone, I still feel lonely but with small doses and can easily get over it. But when I'm around people, it's like feeling lonely is dragging. Anybody feels the same way?
*Loneliness* - a feeling of isolation that comes with feeling not good enough and pitying yourself. The best way to get out of it is to create value for others and attracting people in that way.
I wish that were true, I have an amazing friend but even that friend has their own social group that I'm not involved with. I'm most comfortable in groups of about 5-10 but once you're out of school it's nearly impossible to maintain a group that big.
I like being alone sometimes because I need a break from being around so many people who annoy and irritate me on a daily basis, but I have friends outside of school who I love to talk to, being alone is like a refreshing break to me.
My two best friends have passed away so I don't go out anymore. Plus this town I live promotes college and young people activities, so the middle age and older are left out.
Oh :( time stopped for them, but not for you, get up and go with time! I know it may be cruel but forget about what you would do with them, and start living, they wouldnt want you to be sad i am sure :) get out on beautiful morning and try to find someone, or just have fun, eat icecream and try to be happy, dont forget about time you had together, but about them. Never forget about how it was, memories is all you got now, dont lose them ;D its hard, i know, but this will be easier. Find someone and go out! Invite boy to cinema or something ;) try to live, they didn't get their chance... So don't waste your chance! Use your chance, time isn't gone for you. Time is passing, dont waste it do something. Invite someone somewhere ;D go out, try to have fun again.
So far this is what I've been able to extract from my experience with Loneliness : 1- you're lonely for a reason , not because you don't know how to make friends but because you seek meaningful connections , if all you want is talk to ppl, you can talk to randoms on the street and it doesn't matter how awkward or crazy you look , when you don't understand that your true goal is to make meaningful connections it creates the idea that making connections is difficult and it's like climbing a mountain 2- if I tell you that all I want is " to make deep meaningful connections " it doesn't sound bad , so why does it feel that way , it's because of fear , when fear gets in the equation you start to exaggerate the steepness of the mountain and the difficulty of the climb , so you start to fear that you're going to be lonely forever 3- If you live in a lonely environment it'll start to reinforce the idea that you're going to be lonely forever , because it will act as a reminder of your loneliness 4- social media is not what it seems , if you post something on Twitter and it gets no views , and then post something new the next day and get no views , would you continue using the app , the only reason why you want to post something on social media is because you want others to see it , this creates a market for attention , and the competition is everyone else on the platform , no social media app is designed for connection they're all designed for this market of attention , because of this nature of social media it starts to reinforce the idea that making connections is difficult Combining all 4 elements and you get feedback loop of a depressing loneliness but it's not the end of the rope , Meditation helps with 1 & 2 , owning a pet or playing videogames can help with 3 , for 4 I find Discord to be the only app designed for connection Social communication is a physical need , you can actually feel the need to talk to people , but don't entangle the inability to make small talks with the inability to make friends you can learn how to make small talks but that doesn't necessarily guarantee a friend , making friends is something that has both mental factors like social skills , or environmental factors like being a Midwest guy in Florida The topic of Loneliness is much complicated, but I'm working to deconstruct it to it's first principles and help find a general solution
I'm like that, I like to be alone. But I think it's just because I'm severely depressed even though I'm undiagnosed. At some point you just don't want to get better. You know you could be happy, and it will feel good I'm sure, but then a bad thing will come along and ruin all of your hard work. So you know nothing else, the sadness is familiar, safe almost. Even though it's slowly killing you.
Thank you for this video. I'm an extrovert and not socially awkward at all, yet I still feel lonely because at this point in my life I have a couple separate individual friends, but not a big friend group where we can all hang out together and not having that anymore is making me feel lonely. I love being in big groups and I love my friends but sometimes one-on-one doesn't cut it for me.
I was called a loner for most of 4th grade but unlike some, I actually liked being alone. My friends just didn’t understand that so they would make fun of me. Only one of them apologised and she is the only one out of the 10 that is still my friend.
I actually noticed I felt lonelier when I had a large amount of "friends" and when I cut back to only spending my time focusing on a few, I felt a lot better. I feel like my relationships with them are more meaningful. Plus there was way more drama going on when I spent so much time around so many people and that made things more complicated. Now I have a minimal amount of drama and closer relationships with the few close to me

Loneliness has lead to me being single for most of my adult life. To being catfished and to having severe anxiety with bouts of depression. It is a truly horrific emotion to me at least. Good luck to anyone out there feeling the same ✌🏻🤙🏻
Loneliness can definitely effect extroverts. As a matter of fact, I am an extrovert married to an introvert. There are many days when I am feeling very lonely because I need to get out of the house but my husband doesn't want to, so I either end up staying home with him, keeping him company but feeling drained and lonely myself, or I end up sitting alone at a coffee shop or the mall with no one who wants to talk to me because people seem to fear strangers these days.
The first one hits me.I have friends but when I sit with them I still feel lonely. I think I’m an extovert introvert due to your video and I do feel lonely Bc Im struggling to meet anyone new. Wow number 5 surprised me.I thought that having better social skills would get rid of my loneliness. I have my family but I don’t really have any close friends.
@@Psych2go This reply means the world to me❤ It still hurts from time to time💔 It would be awesome if you made a list of ways on how to cope with loneliness or how to get out there and mingle, even with anxiety😔❤
I'm definitely an ambivert. I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things that involve being engaged in both the activity and being engaged with other individuals BUT i also value my alone time and the need to recharge. I feel like it's a really good balance.
I know how you feel, because back when I was in the third grade, I was the new girl at R.B.Wright Elementary School, because I transferred there from Stringfellow Elementary School(I was at the school from Pre-K to 2nd grade), and I felt lonely at R.B.Wright, because all my friends were at Stringfellow, and I missed them so much, but I made some friends at R.B.Wright.😯
I was here when you had 10k subs....look how you have grown....so proud that you didn't give up in the harsh times neither did your content quality went down.... your videos have helped so so so many people....❤️thank you so much! Really grateful to you🙏
Truly needed this! At the moment, I suffer from severe depression and anxiety, and I'm the type of person who really needs the connection with people to feel motivated and uplifted! Lately things have been going downhill a lil with my relationships, but I'm trying to work on it! The one thing thats made it harder is how I've been more isolated at home, which has increased my depression levels and thoughts of suicide. Been trying to find ways to get my words out, and recently I took a personality test which I resulted as an ENFP I believe. The information stated how these people often need to feel connections with people, and some sort of bond of approval, whether it's by supporting them and getting a good outcome for it, or being supported by them. I really lacked that a lot lately honestly, so I hope to bring up some of these facts, especially this video to help back this up, cause I'd really like to bring myself back up again and make more connections with people!😊
I've been feeling the same way lately, and I also can relate to the feeling of needing that uplifting and motivation. The problem is mainly that I don't have anyone to tell my actual feelings to. I've gotten INFJ from the personality test. It's difficult to find those people to truly connect with.
I have been feeling the same sorts of ways lately and my feeling of lack of control over my life has led me to anorexia (my eating disorder) because it feels like the only thing i can control anymore. Im trying to heal but the journey is difficult. It also kind of hurts hearing people call me fat when i am underweight for my height and age and i havent eaten in a week and a half
I thoroughly appreciate this video. I can't say I've ever thought much about how loneliness is perceived other than the misconceptions stated. It's definitely helpful to get this clarification. Psych2Go for the win again 👊🏾 thank you guys ❤️
Being alone and being lonely are two different things. The first could be simply a spacial matter, it's matter-of-fact, like "I'm alone in this room". The second is a feeling that works more like a meter, that empties when we are alone, with varying speeds depending on our introverted/extroverted nature (or if there are people around us that drain us). Like the social bar from the Sims. That's how I learned it, at least.
Can you guys do a video on Misophonia ? It's a disorder where you can get anxious, angry, or disgusted to an extreme extent by sounds. Especially chewing, loud breathing, and gulping. It is pretty rare, but I think it needs more recognition, and I believe you guys could make that happen ! I've been watching this channel for a couple years, and I've learned many important things ! I suffer from misophonia, and I often get in depressive states because I feel terrible for how I have treated people after I've gotten triggered, and most of the time it's by family members. It's not common for you to get these sound triggers from family members. One notable celebrity who has misophonia is Kelly Osbourne, her brother, Jack, helped inform her on the disorder, and she now knows what was causing such problems. I hope you see this, or at least enough people to spread some awareness. I know it's off topic, but it's really important this disorder becomes known, my psychiatrist treated me pretty badly when I tried to speak of these problems.
Loneliness and simply being alone are two different things. You can be surrounded by dozens of people, and still be lonely as heck. You could be alone, and be completely content with your space. I live alone, and I'm content, I have no desire to find someone to move in with me, or find that one person to complete me. I have friends who I talk to daily, and I can see them whenever I want. Right now, what erks me the most is anxiety and depression.
Thank you for the video!! They are always so helpful :))) I wanted to know if you were able to do something on rsd, rejection sensitive dysphoria, because it can confused with borderline personality disorder. Again, thank you for the videos and continuing to spreading helpful information about psychology 💖
My loneliness gave me lots of drive to make new friends. I knew I needed knew friends but I was just nervous and then the pain of being alone kicked in.
Sometimes i like to be alone whereas i can do many things that people will not get to know because i'm very shy. However, i know that, living alone for a long period is not good for people's health as it may lead to difficulties in making friends, depression and unable to share problems or stories with someone. Moreover, my communication skills cannot be enhanced. That's why i'm trying my best to not get lonely. Wish me luck!
I experience loneliness when countlessly dating great in the beginning (1st 30-90 days), for it to end over a petty argument. The argument usually is over them demanding more intimate commitments (that of exclusive relationship) while I don’t feel comfortable unless I feel we both know each other more. In the end my reasoning is never good enough for them so we grow apart, which sets off loneliness in the efforts made to build something.
I have a lot of friends and ig I’m “popular” and I have those strong ties (minus the significant other cuz single haha) but I feel l lonely so I’m glad they brought that up
I have something called "Mutism" I have issues with speaking so I am usually just online texting or typing instead of actual conversations or calls so it's hard to make friends in this kind of state so loneliness is common for me. I've been judged about it ALOT but I have some coping mechanisms that help me speak sometimes.
I'm not lonely when I'm alone, but to be surrounded by millions of people that don't share your worldview is one of the loneliest feelings in the world.
I've always been a loner even with a family of at least three of us growing in the home, it's not only more comfortable but being able to read people from an early age makes it hard to trust people cause having weak relationships outside of business reasons is very hazardous to who you let in your circle. IDK, it's easier to manage my happiness & enjoy solitude than consistently endeavoring to making new connections on a personal level
I’m absolutely an extrovert and love talking to everyone, and have “many friends”, but I truly desire that one close friend I can live life with. And the lack of this best friend is the root of my feelings of loneliness.
Yeah, one of the sad part of being an extrovert is that sometimes you can't really have that deep connection with one person. Does anyone else feel this could be true?
I've been watching your vids since a year now , i never liked psychology but after watching your vids it's a whole different thing and i started not liking but loving psychology and your vids are really informative so thanks for it , love ya guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Personally, what makes me lonely is the feeling of being left out from the rest of the world, forgotten by the people that I love and that are supposed to love me. I do live alone and many times I’ve silently wished for a family member, a friend, anyone to just check up on me once in a while, but it never happens and it’s excruciatingly painful. You can only imagine what this does to my self esteem lol
Hello! I'm an INFJ, and I often feel lonelier when I'm with other people including closest friends. I think it's because I overthink (long story short). Also, psych to go, can you make some videos on MBTI? Also, with misconception No. 5, loneliness is caused by poor social skills ( 4:52 ), I think popular people often feel lonelier because the many friends they have, sustain them short term only. And don't have many true close relationships, and so are only ever happy for a short while.
I've always avoided bars, parties, get togethers, like the plague, but if I get roped into one, I have a good time! I can talk openly easily with both males and females, but would extremely rarely, bordering on never allow them any closer than public chat. But the very few people I've bumped into through life and let in turned out to be fun! My girlfriend's and ex wife, were ,100,% them hitting on me! I have family a half hour away, but it's the same thing, I have little interest in visiting, but in cycles, go down to visit and have a great time! And the thing is my family members and I are close! Now single, I have had really friendly chats with a few women, but the wall always comes up, and I keep it friendly, but that's all! Anyone else experience this or is it just me?
I usually eveny extroverts but in this case I feel for them and yea when my grandma died it really messed up my grandpa, don't get me wrong they had some bad times but they loved each other thru and thru after she died he shortly gave up on life as well, he was so emotional and lonely...a pure sweet honest loving soul he was!!!! Marriage don't mean crap now day's have a ring on your finger only adds to doesn't take away, you don't need a ring or a piece of paper to love someone and be happy with them. You can be surrounded by a heard of people and still be lonely. Never beg for attention because your lonely, be with the right ones and you won't feel lonely!!!!
How's everyone doing in the times of the lock down?
Not too bad actually. I'm already a more introverted individual, so being quarantined at my house doesn't drive me insane.
Although I would like to see my buddies sooner, rather than later
Not too bad. I just watch videos, do my habit of walking around the house and making rabbit memes.
I'm doing really good I actually needed something like this.
Great

There’s a difference between being lonely and being alone ♥️ I recently made a video on this very topic!
Being both at the same time doesn't feel so good 😕🙃
Ville Turkulainen 🦋🙏
Ville Turkulainen I don’t think you can be lonely and alone at the same time.
That's true! That would be an interesting topic to cover!
OH MY GOD. THE ENERGY IN HER VOICE. IT’S INCREDIBLE!
Loneliness is sad most times, but with a will to live and something to live for, it can be managed. 🙂
I love how Psych2go always give thanks to the viewers.
Thanks Kim :)
So far this is what I've been able to extract from my experience with Loneliness :
1- you're lonely for a reason , not because you don't know how to make friends but because you seek meaningful connections ,
if all you want is talk to ppl, you can talk to randoms on the street and it doesn't matter how awkward or crazy you look , when you don't understand that your true goal is to make meaningful connections it creates the idea that making connections is difficult and it's like climbing a mountain
2- if I tell you that all I want is " to make deep meaningful connections " it doesn't sound bad , so why does it feel that way , it's because of fear , when fear gets in the equation you start to exaggerate the steepness of the mountain and the difficulty of the climb , so you start to fear that you're going to be lonely forever
3- If you live in a lonely environment it'll start to reinforce the idea that you're going to be lonely forever , because it will act as a reminder of your loneliness
4- social media is not what it seems , if you post something on Twitter and it gets no views , and then post something new the next day and get no views , would you continue using the app , the only reason why you want to post something on social media is because you want others to see it , this creates a market for attention , and the competition is everyone else on the platform , no social media app is designed for connection they're all designed for this market of attention , because of this nature of social media it starts to reinforce the idea that making connections is difficult
Combining all 4 elements and you get feedback loop of a depressing loneliness
but it's not the end of the rope , Meditation helps with 1 & 2 , owning a pet or playing videogames can help with 3 , for 4 I find Discord to be the only app designed for connection
Social communication is a physical need , you can actually feel the need to talk to people , but don't entangle the inability to make small talks with the inability to make friends
you can learn how to make small talks but that doesn't necessarily guarantee a friend , making friends is something that has both mental factors like social skills , or environmental factors like being a Midwest guy in Florida
The topic of Loneliness is much complicated, but I'm working to deconstruct it to it's first principles and help find a general solution
You're... amazing. Thank you for this💜
Loneliness can be an addiction too, I know someone who likes to be lonely, like their brain likes the feeling of sadness for some reason
That's weird,but idk man.

Same I just moved to a small town everyone already has close friends and I feel very lonely
Yeah same :(
Felt that
Myresyphie Blaine have the same experience
I know how you feel, because back when I was in the third grade, I was the new girl at R.B.Wright Elementary School, because I transferred there from Stringfellow Elementary School(I was at the school from Pre-K to 2nd grade), and I felt lonely at R.B.Wright, because all my friends were at Stringfellow, and I missed them so much, but I made some friends at R.B.Wright.😯
I like how her voice is full of positivity and happiness
oh my,understanding emotions is quite hard 🙁🙁🙁
I don't know who chose the music, but it's making me feel a little less lonely.
I was here when you had 10k subs....look how you have grown....so proud that you didn't give up in the harsh times neither did your content quality went down.... your videos have helped so so so many people....❤️thank you so much! Really grateful to you🙏
great video well done everyone!!! :D i love the new style of animation!!
Thanks for the positive words!
Truly needed this! At the moment, I suffer from severe depression and anxiety, and I'm the type of person who really needs the connection with people to feel motivated and uplifted! Lately things have been going downhill a lil with my relationships, but I'm trying to work on it! The one thing thats made it harder is how I've been more isolated at home, which has increased my depression levels and thoughts of suicide. Been trying to find ways to get my words out, and recently I took a personality test which I resulted as an ENFP I believe. The information stated how these people often need to feel connections with people, and some sort of bond of approval, whether it's by supporting them and getting a good outcome for it, or being supported by them. I really lacked that a lot lately honestly, so I hope to bring up some of these facts, especially this video to help back this up, cause I'd really like to bring myself back up again and make more connections with people!😊
I've been feeling the same way lately, and I also can relate to the feeling of needing that uplifting and motivation. The problem is mainly that I don't have anyone to tell my actual feelings to. I've gotten INFJ from the personality test. It's difficult to find those people to truly connect with.
I have been feeling the same sorts of ways lately and my feeling of lack of control over my life has led me to anorexia (my eating disorder) because it feels like the only thing i can control anymore. Im trying to heal but the journey is difficult. It also kind of hurts hearing people call me fat when i am underweight for my height and age and i havent eaten in a week and a half
@@mylesblanton77 why would they do such a thing? :/
@@crypticchaos9715 they don't know i have anorexia but it still hurts to be called fat when you aren't eating ANYTHING🙁
@@mylesblanton77 :// I get it tho
loneliness and solitude are two different things. Learn to love solitude, make peace with yourself.
When you go to a gym full of people but no one's talking. (Seriously, this was such a surreal experience to me.)
I don't agree about the social media thing. Some of us get interaction we wouldn't get if it didn't exist.
I thoroughly appreciate this video. I can't say I've ever thought much about how loneliness is perceived other than the misconceptions stated. It's definitely helpful to get this clarification. Psych2Go for the win again 👊🏾 thank you guys ❤️
Hey love the video! Good job! And thanks for the information .
As an introvert, alone can turn into lonely pretty fast (if you’re not careful)
FAXXX
I totally agree with this, thank you for making a video about it!
I am Introverted and a Hermit it doesn’t bother me I embrace my life I rather be single than be with someone who’s programmed to ignore me
Being alone and being lonely are two different things. The first could be simply a spacial matter, it's matter-of-fact, like "I'm alone in this room". The second is a feeling that works more like a meter, that empties when we are alone, with varying speeds depending on our introverted/extroverted nature (or if there are people around us that drain us). Like the social bar from the Sims. That's how I learned it, at least.
Loneliness:
you have time for you
Nobody can bother you with nonsense shit
You can do hobbies
You can exercise
Better mental health
I'm very lonely, but also have problems with meeting people and bonding.
Same :(
Quarantine among people:
Ambriverts: start to get bored
Extroverts: AHHHHH!
Introverts: Get a load of this guy
I’m alone most of the time, but I’m never lonely. I can’t stand being around people.
This was really helpful thank you!
This was really helpful, thank you X3
Can you guys do a video on Misophonia ? It's a disorder where you can get anxious, angry, or disgusted to an extreme extent by sounds. Especially chewing, loud breathing, and gulping. It is pretty rare, but I think it needs more recognition, and I believe you guys could make that happen ! I've been watching this channel for a couple years, and I've learned many important things ! I suffer from misophonia, and I often get in depressive states because I feel terrible for how I have treated people after I've gotten triggered, and most of the time it's by family members. It's not common for you to get these sound triggers from family members. One notable celebrity who has misophonia is Kelly Osbourne, her brother, Jack, helped inform her on the disorder, and she now knows what was causing such problems.
I hope you see this, or at least enough people to spread some awareness. I know it's off topic, but it's really important this disorder becomes known, my psychiatrist treated me pretty badly when I tried to speak of these problems.
can't misunderstand loneliness when you always lonely 👌🏾😔
Fantastic video as always, would you guys ever be able to do a video on how to cope with agoraphobia?
Loneliness and simply being alone are two different things. You can be surrounded by dozens of people, and still be lonely as heck. You could be alone, and be completely content with your space. I live alone, and I'm content, I have no desire to find someone to move in with me, or find that one person to complete me. I have friends who I talk to daily, and I can see them whenever I want.
Right now, what erks me the most is anxiety and depression.
Thank you for the video!! They are always so helpful :))) I wanted to know if you were able to do something on rsd, rejection sensitive dysphoria, because it can confused with borderline personality disorder. Again, thank you for the videos and continuing to spreading helpful information about psychology 💖
I am 72, living alone, during the current pandemic. No fun-I have to work hard to not fall into a pit of depression. Probably not the only one.😢
Umm I don’t know how to be myself or I don’t know myself... I need help
I can’t be myself with friends
My loneliness gave me lots of drive to make new friends. I knew I needed knew friends but I was just nervous and then the pain of being alone kicked in.
I felt lonely in my last relationship, at work when I'm around a group of my co-worker who tells me they miss me, at home
I learned alot from from loneliness that list will never finish(positive lessons)
Sometimes i like to be alone whereas i can do many things that people will not get to know because i'm very shy. However, i know that, living alone for a long period is not good for people's health as it may lead to difficulties in making friends, depression and unable to share problems or stories with someone. Moreover, my communication skills cannot be enhanced. That's why i'm trying my best to not get lonely. Wish me luck!
And I oof-
Lol, I'm alone, but not lonely
And I'm surrounded by people but very lonely
RIGHT
@@erinmayo5170 that's so sad. I hope you find people who make you feel less lonely. We all need that. In our lives
Im not alone but lonely
I experience loneliness when countlessly dating great in the beginning (1st 30-90 days), for it to end over a petty argument. The argument usually is over them demanding more intimate commitments (that of exclusive relationship) while I don’t feel comfortable unless I feel we both know each other more. In the end my reasoning is never good enough for them so we grow apart, which sets off loneliness in the efforts made to build something.
Being a very lonely person, I can confirm these.
I have a lot of friends and ig I’m “popular” and I have those strong ties (minus the significant other cuz single haha) but I feel l lonely so I’m glad they brought that up
This was well done and very informative. Thanks!
I have something called "Mutism" I have issues with speaking so I am usually just online texting or typing instead of actual conversations or calls so it's hard to make friends in this kind of state so loneliness is common for me. I've been judged about it ALOT but I have some coping mechanisms that help me speak sometimes.
Being Lonely is fun and I do get intimidate if someone would talk to me. Having a personal space is FUUUNNN!!
“loneliness experiences frequently and intensely can put your health at risk”
that’s the plan
I'm not lonely when I'm alone, but to be surrounded by millions of people that don't share your worldview is one of the loneliest feelings in the world.
I love your cute little figure drawings! :-D
Thank you for this video. The last time I spoke was over a week ago, to a stranger in a supermarket.
You're welcome. Today marks another time you spoke :)
I haven't felt stress or loneliness before at least not yet. Then again it is probably how I view the world. That prevents that.
I've always been a loner even with a family of at least three of us growing in the home, it's not only more comfortable but being able to read people from an early age makes it hard to trust people cause having weak relationships outside of business reasons is very hazardous to who you let in your circle.
IDK, it's easier to manage my happiness & enjoy solitude than consistently endeavoring to making new connections on a personal level
I’m absolutely an extrovert and love talking to everyone, and have “many friends”, but I truly desire that one close friend I can live life with.
And the lack of this best friend is the root of my feelings of loneliness.
Yeah, one of the sad part of being an extrovert is that sometimes you can't really have that deep connection with one person. Does anyone else feel this could be true?
Psych2Go Absolutely, couldn’t have said it better myself 😆
I've been watching your vids since a year now , i never liked psychology but after watching your vids it's a whole different thing and i started not liking but loving psychology and your vids are really informative so thanks for it , love ya guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Personally, what makes me lonely is the feeling of being left out from the rest of the world, forgotten by the people that I love and that are supposed to love me. I do live alone and many times I’ve silently wished for a family member, a friend, anyone to just check up on me once in a while, but it never happens and it’s excruciatingly painful. You can only imagine what this does to my self esteem lol
Relateable
For making friends, I still believe quality is better than quantity.
Hello! I'm an INFJ, and I often feel lonelier when I'm with other people including closest friends. I think it's because I overthink (long story short). Also, psych to go, can you make some videos on MBTI?
Also, with misconception No. 5, loneliness is caused by poor social skills ( 4:52 ), I think popular people often feel lonelier because the many friends they have, sustain them short term only. And don't have many true close relationships, and so are only ever happy for a short while.
I’ve always believed that there’s a key difference between being alone and loneliness.
I’m sad and lonely and depresso for a long time help plz
...be content to be stars shining by ourselves!
I've always avoided bars, parties, get togethers, like the plague, but if I get roped into one, I have a good time!
I can talk openly easily with both males and females, but would extremely rarely, bordering on never allow them any closer than public chat. But the very few people I've bumped into through life and let in turned out to be fun!
My girlfriend's and ex wife, were ,100,% them hitting on me! I have family a half hour away, but it's the same thing, I have little interest in visiting, but in cycles, go down to visit and have a great time! And the thing is my family members and I are close!
Now single, I have had really friendly chats with a few women, but the wall always comes up, and I keep it friendly, but that's all! Anyone else experience this or is it just me?
I relate to only the upper half of your comment 😂
True peace and loneliness walk hand-in-hand.
Introvert doesn’t mean lonely or shy thank you for finally saying that
Hi I love your videos so much!!! They really help me!!! ❤️
Glad they do! Any others you'd like to see?
This is honestly pretty vague. I was hoping to get more detail out of this video.
What did you feel was vague?
It hard for me honestly because of how addicting it is in way...
3:47 oh no its tumbleweed
*cgp grey video flashbacks*
Lonliness does not come from having no freinds but comes from not being able to truly communicate with them on a 100 percent honest level
I usually eveny extroverts but in this case I feel for them and yea when my grandma died it really messed up my grandpa, don't get me wrong they had some bad times but they loved each other thru and thru after she died he shortly gave up on life as well, he was so emotional and lonely...a pure sweet honest loving soul he was!!!! Marriage don't mean crap now day's have a ring on your finger only adds to doesn't take away, you don't need a ring or a piece of paper to love someone and be happy with them. You can be surrounded by a heard of people and still be lonely. Never beg for attention because your lonely, be with the right ones and you won't feel lonely!!!!
I almost had a heart attack when I clikced on this and when it finished loading I heard. HI THEIR.
well i just figured out i'm an extrovert while i always thought i was an introvert
