      I don't know your age but I completely agree and can tell
      you for a fact the world was (in my experience) a much friendlier
      place when I was young.
      I get very lonely too but don't really enjoy most social interactions.
      If people can put down their phones long enough to have one that is.

      Masooma, that is a contradiction, if you understood how our mind works, which can be based on our thoughts, some people who have commented on this page are not friendly, who feel insecure and basically is no one elses fault, it's also your lifestyle that may determine if you feel lonely or isolated and yet because of the way we think, we blame other people. The guy in this video thinks he is lonely, has no friends, so other people may be in the same position, understandibly, we can all feel that way, but some people feel trapped.

    • @SleeplessinOC
      @SleeplessinOC 6 лет назад +2

      It’s not ironic. Most people who post on Facebook DO have real life friends although they may have many casual acquaintances on there too that they don’t personally really spend time with. Look at all those pictures they post. It’s BECAUSE they have friends or at least a few friends which is why they have pictures to post in the first place.
      The lonely people of Facebook are those looking at other people’s pages because they have nothing to post on their own which is why people like you are saying how it’s ironic . Just because people have Facebook accounts does not mean they have friends and those are the ones that are lonely and are then used to describe how ironic it is when it’s not really ironic at all . Part of the reason why I do not use Facebook is because I have no friends and also too many people use it as a bragging platform . The narcissism is truly sickening.

      @@m.shevonmason4232 Did she try to isolate you by talking badly about others to you to give you a bad impression of them and then talk about you to those same people collectively? Did she ever start drama with your other friends or at least try and then turn around and not allow you to be around her friends or try to humiliate you in front of them by talking down to you or sharing confidential information or bringing up things from your past that you'd rather forget? Did she intentionally give you bad advice on things such as dating or dealing with guys? Was there ever a situation where she tried to get you to not attend school or quit school because she didn't finish? Did you guys ever drink or use recreational drugs together? Did she consume a lot of your time? Ask for help constantly but then when you needed help there was always an excuse? Ever have her point out what you did wrong and you responded fairly or with and apology while if you did the same to her she'd fly off the handle and somehow frame it in a way to say it's your fault? Ever had her try and get you to do things for her that could possibly get you into trouble or ruin another important relationship in your life? Has she ever tried to fuck your boyfriend or on the flip side accuse you of trying to fuck hers so she would never allow you to be around him whether they're together or not? Has she ever lied to you?(obviously) Has she wasted your time by telling you she has an event going on and when you showed up you found out it never existed? Did it always seem like if something good was happening to anyone she would say something negative and down play it no matter who it was? Did she often act like someone was jealous or "hating on her" although there was no reason to and more often than not the person she's describing wasn't even paying any attention to her at all? Has she always complained about the people who were simply trying to help her? - Terrible isn't it... I had all of these same experience with a person I called a friend for 13 years. I was too forgiving of his misdeeds and as a result he eventually walked away because he started to see that I was slowly growing tired of all that stuff. A sociopath he is so much so that he's become delusional. But life has been good since his departure. One thing I can say is I have the ability to love a person for who they are. He can not because he doesn't even love himself. He follows the crowd and what's popular but then loves to argue with others just so he feels like he know more than them. He is very much like a girl, that bitchy friend every girl seems to have and for a guy that's really really bad. It's bad either way of course but I guess you get the point. It's painful surely but it's crazy how you realize how wholesome life is all of a sudden when you don't have to deal with that disgusting shit anymore.

    I learnt the biggest lessen in my life in 2014. Never put all your eggs in one basket. My best friend of 16 years had a disagreement and stopped talking to each other. I used to think at the time, It's okay I don't need other friends, I got her and we are eternal. and here I am 2016 looking back and regretting that decision, wondering if I'll ever find that connection again. Social media makes it worse, seeing people with friends, a constant reminder of how easily the world would go on without you. You create a shell to protect you, and make you feel cosy, telling yourself you don't need anyone, only realising later on your clawing to get out. I feel you, and it's damn tough.

    I can relate. I'm a 64-year-old grandmother with 3 grown daughters and have never really had any real friends to hang out with. It feels embarrassing to say that. The only people who ever choose to hang out with me just to chat or have fun are my sister and sometimes my aunt. I look like a normal person and am physically attractive even at 64, well-groomed and well-spoken. Upon first glance, no one would suspect that I am a person that doesn't have friends, but I have never been able to make and keep friends who aren't blood relatives. I have tried to make friends, but it goes nowhere even though I'm a kind person, show interest and am loving and caring. These are qualities others have told me I possess. But they prefer to hang out with other people. I have read so many self-help books and been to therapy, but nothing changes. I don't think like 99% of people I've met and feel like I don't belong in humanity. I feel very sad about it. I have resigned myself to being without friends for the rest of my life and just try my best to do things I enjoy (mostly solitary activities) and accept myself as I am. I also do random acts of kindness, and that gives me comfort in knowing I have contributed something positive to this world. I wish that all here who experience loneliness will find comfort, peace and one day soon true friendships if that's what they long for. Much love.

I love her, but we have no relationship unless she needs something. Most of my life women pretend to be my friends but secretly hate/never liked me, only wanted me around for their benefit. I’m attractive and get attention, but I am ALWAYS kind and considerate to everyone. Had 1 BFF for many years, then she died of BC 8 years ago, so chronic loneliness every since. My kids are grown and I’m single, so I have NO ONE. I just do everything alone and enjoy my life.. I love life even though it seems the world and people don’t accept or want me.. I hope you meet a new REAL friend, and enjoy a true friendship.. Be blessed!

      That's how humans work, I've recently discovered. Face it, don't you also approach someone else when you want something from them? It doesn't have to be anything materialistic. It can be their looks, personality, humor, etc. When a friend starts becoming less interesting or boring, it's normal to not want to hang out with them as much.

    Brother, take it from an old dog. I'm 49 years old and I've always been a lone wolf. I didn't necessarily plan it that way, it's just the way my life has unfolded. Ironically, I don't WANT to be alone, but somehow, it always turns out that way. I'm recently coming off of a 5-year relationship with someone I intended to marry, but everything went to shit three weeks ago when I discovered her being unfaithful. So here I am again. Alone, but not by choice.

I've been struggling for over 5 years now the doctors are horrible they just prescribe you with medication thinking it will work but instead you just get hooked to them and can't come off the medications. I've tried talking to my parents about this but they don't seem to understand fully they just say eat and go to the gym I've tried that but still have these harsh symptoms. But I still try to cope with life and make little goals everyday for myself like go to the swimming pools and go for a walk by myself. People think mental illness is a joke but really it's not a joke millions of people suffer each day from mental illness.

Personally, if I were to "be myself" as in do whatever I feel like doing, then I'd just sit at home all day and get nothing done. However, despite not wanting to wake up in the morning and go to the gym, despite not wanting to go outside during the day and meet new people, I still force myself to do these things because I know it will allow me to achieve my ideal self.

It's such a deep pain knowing other people are out living their lives with others and enjoying fun experiences surrounded by people who care about them.. While I sit here alone.

Social anxiety can be overcome quite easily in fact however suffering can't. You need to see yourself as stronger than that and stronger than whatever your issue is. You need to realize your worth more than that and I have a very hard time with that because my mother never shut up about how good enough I was not even though I excelled at everything I tried. Whatever the problem may be social anxiety stuttering thinking you look ugly they are all just reasons to keep you where you are. You need to break that bubble and breathe some fresh air. It's not easy and it will be damn difficult but once you do you will wonder where life has been all your life! :-)

    2. I like to listen to the crackling sound of cockroaches chewing away at the cardboard of carton boxes kept in my room at night since it gives me the impression of atleast another living being co-inhabiting my appartment with me.
    3. I yearn for someone to ring my doorbell too when I hear it ring in my neighbour's house.
    4. I usually say "I love you" out aloud in my mind because I have no one to say that to.
    5. I feel terrible being lonely and don't want to to do anything at all.
    6. I sob as I write this feeling pity at my helplessness.
    7. Contrary to other lonely people out there who cannot make any friends, I have many school and college friends but I cannot show up in front of them as I am ashamed of myself.

And I to watch the Facebook and everyone with their families and friends and making memories… And my memory was me crying… Literally all day long. Feeling like I was completely alone having just gotten over a break up. Just sitting here with my dog. So I went to the store and bought a box of cards. I came home and hand wrotesomething on every single one of them and put them in each door on the third floor of my apartment building.

    I see it like that: I rather have REAL friends or I rather be lonely. Since I do not find REAL friends, I rather stay lonely, being able to do at least what I wanna do without gettin restricted by those superficial "friends". Important thing is not to get frustrated or cynical. Stay open for friends, but do your stuff, like a lonely wolf.

I don't feel excited when I get invited to a party, I feel annoyed... like I have to do this social duty so I don't look like a creep that stays home all the time. The problem is I feel good being home alone. I don't have that depression that would make me excited about other people talking to me. I hate it more when someone disturbs my alone time. At least your depression about being alone push you to open. But I'm happy being alone so I have nothing pushing me to others.

My friend saw someone take a selfie to upload to facebook and said that the guy did not even bother to look at where he really was. He was more concerned with his image than the beautiful sight that lay before him in the present moment. Now Julie, that person is so sad and insecure...can you see that...don't feel mad or sad...these are people who enjoy impressing everyone else, except their true selves. ROFL

      Just a random dude there is a difference between being alone and being lonely. I agree you can choose to be alone, most introverts do it to ‘recharge’ after a social or crazy time/events that has happened. However, loneliness is different, you could be in a room full of people you know or at a party and it’s this voice or thought at the back of your head saying “your not worth the trouble, your lucky your in this position don’t push your luck, you aren’t worth being friends with, etc” you ask a lonely person what it’s like it feels like this. Just my opinion on this whole topic.

    it's no secret that the smarter the person is, usually the more lonely he/she is, because to be honest, most/majority of people can't understand him/her, and vice versa, people who are smarter usually can't relate & connect to most people, whom are often simple-minded ("Ignorance is bliss", sadly true).

      I disagree with your comment here Niki, It sounds as if you have completely isolated yourself from the real world. I used to teach computing to school pupils doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award and made friends with them, so it's also a case of who you know, you see smart people as weakish, people who may not like sport usually excel at learning to play a musical instrument and has therefore been proven to enable you make new friends which I did, so how can you not relate to other people, I take it you don't understand yourself as a human being then. If somebody can't understand me, Im not the weaker one, Im only human, not another person, Ive been called arrogant by a mate of mine and he called himself a thicko, I said you're feeling emotional, but he was drunk at the time, no mate of mine, that's reality.

A reason to hold on just a little bit longer...and then, just a little bit longer, and then a little but longer.

The truth is that everyone else is busy having families, they all moved away and had kids.
    I live alone in the Mountains and have 4 cats, my allegiance is to them, they are my children. I'm not ashamed at all to say that. Where I live is so rural there are only less than 200 people population and they are all old and disabled. I was never into the bar scene, I don't sleep around, and I like to stay home.

      Besides work, I'd go home and on my days off I'd probably not speak to a single person for two or three days. It was a bit lonely, but peaceful. When I decided to go part time and start dance training due to a lifelong desire to learn dancing...the satanic network unleashed itself on me. Instead of just subtly shadowing me and harassing me at work, the network began to openly taunt and terrorize me. In a way this was good, because instead of just having a feeling of being isolated and disliked...i figured out that the devil and his millions had it in for me...so...God protected me by setting me apart a bit. So...I'm probably Elijah and the Female Witness...anyway, see you in Jerusalem!

I don't know exactly how or why it happened but that's the one main thing holding me back but it's hard to shake it even after all these years. Man, it sucks.😔
    It's kind of strange though that I'm going through slight depression right now dealing with this very issue and this video popped up and I never did any searches for this type of thing.🤔
    Anyway, I hope you find the friendship your soul is craving. No one should be alone.

      No matter how much we love ourselves, if people don't like us, we gradually start believing something is wrong with us.

      Z Mundo Nothing to feel bad about. Don’t put yourself down. One suggestion is to look for activities you enjoy doing and you’ll likely hook up with others who enjoy the same thing. Discuss common interests. Join a club, hiking group, a Meetup etc. so many options. It’s best with small groups, easier to talk one on one.

    All the lonely people, where do they all come from. - Beatles.
    Son, the only person you are guaranteed to spend the rest of your life with, is you. That's where your loyalties should lie. It is indeed wonderful to have friends, true friends. I have a group of friends that I have known for 43+ years, we met at college and have an annual weekend get together (which is coming up in 2 weeks, whoopie!) to go back to the old school, walk the campus, there's a lot of that "remember when Russell or JJ did so and so", we laugh like fools at whatever crazy things we recalled together and it takes us home, as we grew up together and now share an extensive history together. We're scattered all over the country some of us haven't seen each other for that year. Conversations are picked up as if we had only walked out of the room but for a minute. We're friends and no matter how far apart we find ourselves or the time in which we have been separated, they're still our friends and that's a blessing beyond belief, I should know.
    You're young, one of the most excruciatingly painful times in one's life. You're breaking away from home, it's time for you to fly. Problem is, you don't know where you want to go or how you're going to get there and all you want is to not have to face your fate, alone. You're running around like a blind dog in a meat locker. You're alone, there's no one there close enough to you to feel comfortable with and you're scared out of your mind that you don't have a sounding board with which to safely express your feelings. Hurts like hell, you doubt yourself, your self esteem is damaged, you start blaming yourself, you feel you're lost in the loneliness and that it will never stop. The most unfortunate thing about it; it's not going to change until you change it. It's all up to you and to you alone how your life will transpire.
    I worked professionally for 43 years of my life after graduation, I was a safety consultant, worked within the construction industry; tried to keep people from poking out their eyes, chopping of a finger or ending up in a morgue. It was rewarding work, fulfilling, with times thrown in when I questioned my self as to why did I get into this trade but in the end, it was well worth it. I made my living, talking to people, I have the gift of gab. Not everyone shares that trait. You can develop that with work and it will come easier with time.
    I've scrolled through the replies and I see it's a common hurt, seemingly shared by all. I had that too when I was a teen, sucked out loud. I was always the new kid in school, my father chased his profession routinely and I was always the kid that also sat alone. We share a common history in that. Hopefully, you can accept some advice from an old man whose tomorrows are winding down and the "End of Road" sign is on the horizon. Let's talk.
    Things I picked up from your vid, no harm intended, I really want to help you, I'm a people person and you're a people, I live a life of total solitude, of my own selection, I find comfort there after retirement and the ass whoopin's life has bestowed upon me. It takes a strong person to do what I do but I'm the man for the job and I'm enjoying it to no end.
    You're conversant, great start. You're not afraid to throw yourself into the fray, go get 'em. Friends aren't going to come to you with any sense of regularity, you have to go out and discover them. If they're going to be your true friend, they'll find you.
    Sharpen your speaking skills. I noticed your eyes shifting near constantly. I know what you're doing, you're unconsciously searching for an answer in your mind. When you talk to someone, look them dead in the eyes. That practice does make some people uncomfortable, they may have insecurities of their own they don't want exposed. Eyes don't lie, don't nail them to a wall, shift your gaze away on occasion to comfort them, then look them in the eye again. Speak in a kind tone, express yourself with your attention focused on them only, speak as if they are the only person in the room, make them comfortable in your presence, smile (none of that fake stuff) frequently when you feel it's warranted.
    Go places that you like to go. You'll find people there that share your likes, a great way to meet people with the same sentiments and will put you in a friendly environment off the start. Go to a bookstore, stroll down the aisles, if you notice someone browsing through a section you're interested in, break the ice, excuse yourself and ask them if they know of an author or a book they would suggest. I've found that if you approach them respectfully and sincerely, they'll be flattered that a stranger would take advice from them. One of many ways to meet someone, the relationship may last only but moments but it will sharpen your skills on how to extend yourself and maybe the next time you do this, maybe you'll end up sharing a cup of coffee in the bookstore deli. Anything can happen after that.
    Volunteer in a charitable organization. People that put themselves in these positions are generally kinder, more open minded, and willing to give of themselves without charge. They want to meet you, eventually they'll want to know your story if you stay around and you can share when it's safe. It will also heighten your self esteem and enhance your sense of appreciation that you are not in the place that some folks find themselves. You aren't starving, you're on two legs, time is on your side and you don't live in a communist country; be thankful.
    Avoid at best talking about yourself initially and never express your own fears until it is safe. People as I have found, love to talk about themselves; give them a boast, put a smile on their face that someone is willing to listen to what they have to say. Don' be clingy, it's a sign of weakness and insecurity.
    Don't expect miracles over night. You're a kid, you have a life time in front of you, your day will come but you're going to have to work at it.
    Conquer your fear of rejection. There are 7.567 Billion people on earth, not everyone is going to like you at first and most won't ever like you at all. Consider yourself fortunate, those that have rejected you helped to toughen up your skin, filtered out adverse potentials you may have encountered in their presence and you're able to check one more person off of your do not do list. You made out in the long run, they lost more than you, they discarded you.
    Expect failure. There may be a long string of failures but if you lay down, you die. Dust yourself off, pick yourself up, and get at it again. What other alternative is there and I don't want to hear any shit about tall bridges.
    Walk with a sense of confidence, even if you're screaming inside. Fake it till you make it. People are drawn to people that display confidence, it makes them feel safer around you. They want what they may not have. Be a beacon in the night, even if you're lost, learn from every mistake you make or they'll keep coming back to kick your young ass with great regularity.
    Remember that the best thing you can do for a friend, is just be their friend.
    There are givers and there are takers. Avoid at all cost the takers when first discovered and give to the givers till your heart explodes, you'll be enriched in ways you can't imagine.
    Never be afraid to walk away, it may be extremely painful but sometime that's the only path you can take and still retain what is you. They weren't worth your effort to please, again they lost something wonderful and are to be pitied for their transgressions against you.
    Recognize that you are but one of the 7.567 billion people on earth. You are unique beyond compare. There's only one of you and you're worthy of all the good life has to offer. Act accordingly without arrogance, you'll be amazed at what comes your way.
    Never lie, especially to yourself. You may embellish a story with something on the order of "it's a thousand degrees outside" but never tell someone you love them when you don't. That's a cruel and despicable thing to do to someone, don't be that person.
    Everyone seeks happiness. Happiness is a fleeting thing at best and denied to most. Find contentment as a replacement, a more sustainable state of mind.
    Technology is a wonderous thing but it is a double edged sword that is ever so sharp. Turn that damned cellphone OFF. Medical science has already discovered the terrible things cellphones do to our youth. You've been denied (by your own doings) the ability to effectively communicate with another human being, text messages are used as a means to avoid personal contact, and allows you to say things to each other without consequence. Go to the person you want to contact and communicate with them face to face. You'll both become more enriched by the experience. Ditch Face Book. There is more misery, lies, misinformation, manipulative information and grief hidden behind a smile.
    Remember, if you believe anything I've said. This will be behind you some day. You're going to be okay and if you work hard, avoid obvious pitfalls, stay true to yourself, and give of yourself till it hurts; you will be blessed to a degree that could not have been imagined in common hours.
    Be good little brother, now get out there and kick some ass.

But I was always the fat girl that was always there for everyone to give a shoulder to cry on and that was it. I always was genuine towards the people I considered friends, but it then turned out they didn't see me as one. So over time those ''friendships'' just ended. I'd rather be by myself than have fake friends. Sadly, that's my only experience. What makes me most sad is that I still get friendly and am genuine with people today. But it seems one sided.

      Do NOT play the friends game, be yourself and enjoy the company of people, just go to the gatherings and listen what other people have to say, even if u think people act stupid, cause they will, lol, lol, do not judge people and just listen and you will see how fun it can be.
