      I use to be scared of being alone but 4 years ago I got hiv from having a little to much fun with drinking and women. I became a hermit due to bad experiences being judged and it hurt. I only come out my house to go to work where I work alone at nights. Somedays I don't talk but when I do I can't stop but this video has me regretting so much. I wish I had the courage to look past the stigma and get out there again.

      that particular italian is an orthodox christian and he lives like a orthodox monk as you can see the orthodox saints picture at 26:11 on the right. We all need to have The truth in life which is in the Orthodox christianity religion only btw. The orthodox version of Christianity is the original and true form of christianity that Jesus taught us when he came to earth, and you can feel God’s grace through the holy sacraments in this church after baptism , repentance-confession and holy communion in the orthodox christian church through the grace of the apostles that was transferred from generation to generation to what we have today as the orthodox christian priests, something that completely changes your life and turns you into a happier person with a meaningful life and also saves you by strengthening your bond with God. You can also watch the miracle of the holy fire that does not burn that happens every year, I suggest you get baptised at an ORTHODOX christian church near you, receive the holy spirit and live a spiritual life through the church’s sacraments like confession to the priest and holy communion and God will protect you, in this life, and the next, the eternal one, 😊may God Bless you!

      This man is not some quirky genius; everything he did was a coping mechanism for getting expelled from his home when he was 23. Italy is a very family oriented country, so this must have been a dramatic event. The sad part is he never got closure. He claims he doesn't know the reason, but it's possible he actively suppressed the memory, or wants to hide the truth because it's too painful. He needed mental help decades ago, but never got it. This is the end result.

      That's because a lot of big production studios don't truly understand what something like this feels like. They might say they've experienced loneliness, but there are multiple different types of loneliness, some are far harder to deal with than others. It's like anything in life though... Personally I think being lonely (in moderation) is often good, it lets us reflect on who we are.

    This year, I am more intentional about building friendships and relationships with my fellow man and woman, embracing the uncomfortable and living a more full life.
    Bee well friends.

    A year now I’m away from home living and working in another country far away and I am truly experiencing discomfort. Loneliness is hard and the truth is,wherever you go there’s nowhere like home. But those people are amazing and I admire them for their courage.
    I hope you liked my country guys!
    Keep up the amazing work ♥️🇬🇷

      Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

No TV is needed, just sitting on those lovely white plastic chairs and admiring the beautiful view of the sea and the island. 🌿

  • @elsongs

    I noticed that all three people have found companionship with domesticated animals, so they aren't lonely in the absolute sense. And even in terms of regular human interaction, the Italian man does have that one villager friend who visits him, the woman in Greece has her son who visits occasionally for several weeks and the young man in Sweden has a girlfriend (and spends time online). Also the Greek woman and Swedish man are able to get haircuts (unless they've mastered the ability to trim their own hair).
    It seems the key here is to maintain a good, healthy balance between the social and the solitude.
    I'm sure there are much, much more lonely, isolated people out there than these three, it's just that no one even knows or cares about them.

    Great video. I enjoyed it beginning to end. I easily relate to those folk in this video. I was a shepherd for thirty years, goats and a couple of horses (to ride) and of course my dogs. I left the modern world when I was nineteen, escaping to northern wilderness. For years I lived in teepees, abandoned cabins, adventuring and hunting on my own for decades. I'm still living in the same little cabin (where I've lived for the past 32 years) in this small, rather remote mountain village. No goats, dogs or horses now, they were my best friends, but I still grow a large garden growing a lot of my own food, still living off the land to some degree, collecting herbs, firewood and such, although I gave up hunting big game over ten years ago now since becoming mostly vegetarian with a lot of teeth missing. Yes, not quite a toothless old hermit but close. Life gets lonely at times. I seldom see other people. Being alone though is a lesson in learning about who we are and what we can do for ourselves. I guess I've done okay since I'm still here, never retreating to town or city, and I'm glad of that. Of course, in this day and age, even here (like the Himalayas and remote Arctic) this village has an internet connection and of course computers are a part of most people's lives, including my own now. I've never regretted living this lifestyle, trying to be self sufficient, living off the land, doing everything for myself in order to survive day to day, year to year. I'm not the only person that has done this, as this video attests. I personally know more than a handful of people, older and younger, living mostly alone in these rugged wild mountains, fending for themselves as best they can, decade after decade. One thing I've learned living this lifestyle is that nothing can be taken for granted as things change, even in the blink of an eye. Truth for all of us really. Thanks for your entertaining and enjoyable video. Cheers!

    I think the struggle to find genuine connection is what makes an individual feel lonely amidst being surrounded with many people. I love being in solitude because in my experience, it equates to learning, creativity, and productivity. I learned skills like woodworking, electricals, plumbing, etc. I learned how to draw, paint, play instruments, sing, etc. I've created my garden, grown plants, raised animals, etc. In all honesty, I wouldn't have learned all of this (still learning all kinds of stuff) if I hung out with my friends all the time. Being Alone is not for everyone but I can tell you it's a powerful yet mysteriously peaceful state to be in.

    "you have great daddy qualities" best compliment ever lmfao.
    I actually love what erik has done...i felt the happiness. a part of me really wants to build my own home deep in the forest (away from the city/town/villages). I think it's important that we stay connected with nature and develop skills to care for ourselves independently. Our current generation is so disconnected - the technology era.

    Guys you need to get an award for the cinematic masterpiece this is. Beautiful scenes and editing, especially the intro. Every video better than the last. Not disappointed you took your time with this.

    I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Even when you tackle difficult subjects, the way you do that, the way you interact with people, and the way you film everything, always seems to warm and calm my soul and worried mind a bit. It takes empathy, intelligence and heart to do that. I get excited every time a new video pops up and I know some healing is just around the corner.

    It's interesting what Erik mentioned about becoming more confident around others since being more isolated. That aligns with my experience with leaving the public school system, I only speak to people that aren't my family a couple of times a week and I'm so much more confident in myself now

      Yes! I watched his "documentary" about his log cabin, absolutely amazing work. Not only the housebuidling skills, but also the filmmaking skills. This man is very talented

    33 minutes simply doesn't do these amazing stories justice, it would be incredible to hear more about these amazing individuals.
