All the time lol Edit: I.e. I’ve got friends I technically ‘could’ tell, but the problem is that I feel they won’t really care, or will dismiss it or will just insult me for it idk
what about the opposite? "when something bad happens to you and you wanted so badly to talk to someone but no one is there for you, or no one to speak to"
Today was my high school graduation and no one showed up for me. Not even my parents. It was cripplingly painful to see friends hugging their parents and taking pictures while I had to go back to my own dark empty car and drive myself home.
Congratulations on your graduation! Graduating high school is a big deal and an accomplishment worth celebrating. Just know that a stranger out there somewhere (me) is proud of you and is cheering you on :)
try to find self love i promise you it changed me I was so depressed and felt so so alone and I started to realize my worth and being okay with myself. I know it gets hard but you have been with yourself through everything. You don’t need people all the time. Just knowing you have yourself and accepting it and loving it. If you ever need anyone to talk to I’ll give you my Snapchat if you have it.
@@dulapeepbars3872 yeah i agree developing a new skill might also help uplift your confidence like i did by learning stock market trading just hook on a skill it will help
Then when you reach out, they don’t reply or even acknowledge your existence. I feel like I’m dead to most people. Then, those who I’m not invisible to either want me to change (too much) or offer advice that I need to stop looking for validation or companionship in others. Doesn’t change the fact that I’d love the connection, but then it makes me wonder if I like things as much as the idea of the things.
Sometimes you feel the loneliest when you’re around people. When they’re in groups talking to each other or laughing with the their friends and you’re just.. there
@Brielle Brooks Wow you really wrote much. But it's ok. I'm sure now you'll be feeling a little lighter in your heart. Maybe you wanted to tell your story to somebody who listen. If you don't like the behavior of your friend because she's indulged with her other friends then just let her go. Eventually you'll get more friends who'll be with you and listen to you. Don't ever think you're alone 🤗.
Brielle Brooks it’s cool I’ll be your friend.Also it’s not even like you don’t make friends it’s just that you don’t want to change yourself to fit in and not a lot of people can do that.And also I think all of depression and anxiety Is a perspective game like something could affect a person so much but someone else will wipe off the same thing like nothing happened and I think it’s also age related so your not the only one.
sometimes i have full-length conversations with myself where i pretend that i'm being "interviewed" about my feelings or my day and on bad days these conversations can go on for an hour. it took me a while to realize that i do this because barely anyone ever asks me how i'm really feeling/doing
me too... sometimes for several hours. every now and again, I'll become awfully self aware and think to myself "nobody asked that. There's noone here". and ill just break emotionally...
I actually like to daydream about having my soulmate by my side, laying on grass and stargazing, dancing with them on my favourite songs, traveling together, ice skating, horse riding, going to carnival, sky diving and shopping all while achieving success and thinking about spending the rest of my life with them.
my friends, they said i’m just bringing negativity with my suicidal thoughts and vibes to the group. i got called “the toxic friend” because of that but i don’t blame them
@@Venven033 You don't deserve that. Im so sorry. You aren't toxic. And your feelings are 100% valid. Your life is so valuable and God loves you so much.❤
I am the exact same way. I have full on conversations with myself as though it is another person. Its like my conscience and I are two different people. That being said there's the other part of me that tells me I am worthless and I will always be lonely. Its a real struggle that I have. I just want to be happy. Truly happy.
@-- I also do that..... but I am actually taking an *interview* with a person who wants to write a book about my life.... I know it sounds weird.. but every time I do something, I imagine that interviewer asking me something like: "So *name* , when did you realise you have a passion for" or questions like that..... To be fair, I know it sounds weird but my life is actually pretty interesting.... I started my own business at 13 at 15 I took an IQ test (an official one) and it turns out I am smarter than 7.6 billion people..... currently I am homeschooling myself, even tho I finished everything in the first month
That's almost my entire extended family. My parents and siblings do not bother with me or my child. But I treasure the people in my life that do. If I didn't have them, I don't think I would be here.
I am watching this crying. I feel like this all the time: I am 39, not married and no kids and my dog was my whole world!!! He just died. The amount of loneliness I feel is soul crushing. I hold his stuffed animal every night and kiss it just to feel I have something to give my love to and feel close to something
Wow, you must have been through a lot. I'd like you to know that a stranger admires your perseverance and bravery. I hope you find your path to fulfilment in life, you deserve it too. I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Hope you can make new memories someday.
I know this is super late but, same thing happened to me with my cat. I had never felt so destroyed in my life. It’s so hard to do anything and I miss him so much. and I considered him a friend. But now he’s gone. I hope that you are doing better now and know that, you deserve happiness in your life!
One of the worst things is realizing that you are living most of your life in your head. The conversations, laughs, & friends you wish to have are all in your head.
I agree. You can't really be your true authentic self or express your true feelings to people anymore. And it's only getting worse. Narcissism is at an all-time high.
A few years ago, I tried to end myself. My friends didn't understand, blamed me for the way they felt about the situation and abandoned me, that is the loneliest I have ever felt, to be in need of a friend and to have none. I have nightmares, I'm scared of growing older and being alone, and I don't have anyone to reach out to....
Bro i got a small house, and i literally walk to my car some evenings just so i could be away from anyone's eyes and just site there, sometimes cry my heart out while listening to music
Does anyone else get scared that your friends and family secretly see you as a burden or just dont like you. Like they care about you, but they dont like you.
I just leave or stay away from people like that. But in certain situations where I am around people ignoring me, it is truely a very bad feeling. I usually prefer being alone, though, if im choosing to be around people at the moment, id feel pretty lonely if they completely ignored me
I disagree. Not because I believe there's something worse but because I believe they're equally terrible. I was lonely surrounded by poeple and it was awfull, and I was lonely without people. It sucks either way. It's not nice to say that something is worse. Don't compare loneliness. You can be surrounded by friends and be lonely and you can have no family and friends and be lonely as well.
Yo I literally imagine myself to be this gifted polymath girl debuted as kpop idol at 13 and later becomes the most popular one because of my talents. Acting in lots of western movies like the avengers, and do a lot of other things like writing my own book or having my own webtoon at such young age, because well I'm gifted and a polymath. And I would make a lot of money out of em, become one of the richest in asia, and use them to help better the world. Charity and charity and mooorreee charity because it's so painful to see the world's current state. I imagine being so honest and genuine despite me being a public figure, I am so controversial to the point that people either really support me or really hate me, but the genuineness ended up changing the entire toxic Korean entertainment industry hahaha. This is an imagination that have been continuing since I was in elementary school.... I can't get tired of it. It's more like an imagination about alternate reality, but of course I do imagine a lot about the future.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Honey....you’re loved beyond your imagination
I feel the loneliest when I'm with my friends. They were talking about their life success, while I'm stuck in rock bottom. Then I'll pretend to smile, and congratulate them. Went home, sleep under my bed with full volume music, but I don't cry... I wanna cry, but I'm too tired to even do that...
How can someone not feel lonely in 2020? Right after the lockdown in my country, I was so upset that I started dancing hits from the 70s and 80s I my living room. I WILL SURVIVE was the opening hit. You might be lonely, but you are not alone! Take care wherever you are 💗💗
I keep myself in an imaginary world where I have many people who loves me. But the second I realise that it's just me making that up I burst out crying realising how helpless I am.
It's not only you my dear even I go through the same thoughts I imagine that there are many friends around me and I share all the funny stories and trends I wipe my tears imagining my friend is wiping then I realised it only me I keep crying till I fall asleep.
@@nicolealfonso757 it's just so annoying and frustrating that when I snap back to reality i feel hopeless. That's the main reason I don't have any social medias. Just RUclips and WhatsApp and I'm glad. Don't know how to overcome this imagination. Hope ur doing gud too beautiful.
I treat people around me how I want to be treated. I listen, comfort, am interested, and am always careful about what I say. But I haven’t experienced someone doing the same for me. It makes me wonder weather anymore around me actually cares.
I know what you mean. Sometimes I stop talking mid sentence and no one ever even indicates that they notice. I feel like people really only care to talk about themselves for the most part. It's really hard to make friends to share with.
I like Poe, but some of his letters felt like he tried to isolate people he loved. His cousin-wife, for example, was set to be helped by a relative, but Poe fought against the notion and eventually had his way and married her. His _The Raven_ is pretty cool tho The poem quoted in the original comment is Poe's _Alone_
I do the same I talk to myself and when deeply think about what I'm doing and how I'm talking to myself I feel like I'm a weirdo and no one else does it
I'm 28. Only had 1 friend, in high school, and think about him daily. Only had 1 gf, for 6 years, but it was long distance and never made to met her, and because of my depression getting worse and worse she couldn't wait for me anymore, which I understand. Last weekend I learnt she's getting married. It hit me so hard. My family loves me, 2 people, but only because they're forced to love me, because they are my family. If they weren't they wouldn't care about me, so it's a love doesn't really matter because they don't love because of who I am, but because they're my family. So at the end of the day I feel completely lone in this world. Been like this for 10 years since I finished high school and the worst part of it all is that I know very well it's not going to be fixed anytime soon, and so in the case I ever get it fixed. So I understand all of you very well. It sucks, but life is like this. Much love to you all❤️
And love to you as well. Some of the best word I've ever heard was that it's okay to be broken. I sometimes look at my family and think that i would want almost nothing to do with them if I didn't know so much about them. If only someone was willing to try and listen to someone else then we could have more friends who are closer than family. I know my friends often feel much closer than my family. I love you, and I hope that you have someone who will talk to you at anytime. It is often at night that I feel lonely, bc I know that no one will talk with me because they are asleep
No you are wrong, your family doesn’t have to love you. There’s plenty of horror stories of abuse to prove that. Be grateful you have those two family members. Hope things work out for you
Studies show that the most successful people talk to them self’s so there’s nothing to be ashamed of talking to yourself. Coming from someone who does it too.
Hahahha I don’t talk to myself I talk to my “imaginary friends” It’s really hard to explain without sounding like a psychopath Do I still count as a successful person?
I thought about it. Like why am I sitting totally alone, without friends, without anyone who could care ‘bout me if there’s so many ppl who also feel it and need support...
I used to play music and walk around creating scenarios in my head. Different stories for different songs... I have been doing this since I was 13 and I’m 22. A few months ago I took the decision to stop listening to music all together, and I feel like I can finally breathe again
I’ve had friends and family and relationships and now they’re all gone.. Either died or live far away or I broke up with them, or the friendship broke up, and I’m being rejected socially by coworkers/new people. I’m the loneliest I’ve ever been, caught in a limbo between reaching for help and going it on my own.
@@snivygreen2216 Thank you..One of my friends that I had a rift with reached out on Christmas, and we’re going to look at mending our relationship..we’ll see how it goes but hopefully with boundaries we can get back to being friends, since she was one of my oldest and best friends 🤞🏼
the worst feeling is when you’re so upset and you cry yourself to sleep at night, but you have no one to talk to because you’re too ashamed to tell friends or family.
@Miguel Hernandez This loser having spiraled so many times into anxiety and panic attacks that regular contemplation of my self value and worth lead to suicidal thoughts and endless nights of crying and nightmares that feel worse than death.
@@Siratioomia I like these kind of quotes. And so do at least 164 people :) Don't give up! You're more valuable than you feel and stronger than you think. I mean you deal with these issues every single day again and again. You're a warrior.
@Miguel Hernandez Who hurt you? Hey, remember that everything will be alright. You seem very angry, and i (an internet nobody) wish you all the best. Don't give up on yourself.
I am very lonely but I also can't see anything in myself worth sharing with others. the only value i have is the possessions I own so I try to share and be generous with them because that's all I'm worth.
I'm so alone I listen to asmr, basically videos where people pretend to talk to you and interact with you, comfort you, etc. And I like to pretend its real because, well, its the most comfort I can get. And every night I listen to breathing sounds so it feels like someone is next to me.
My thoughts. I do feel like much of that stigma is gone for stuffed animals, though. There IS still a big stigma around guys talking to anime girls for comfort, though. Most people think "pervert" and sure of course guys are attracted to pretty anime girls, but to be talking to an anime girl all the time, what does that say? It often says that people have treated you so badly that you feel like it's impossible to have a friend (mainly girls in this case) that cares about you, so you gave up talking to real girls or people. (Often making true guy friends is impossible cause of toxic masculinity and most guys not revealing their emotions, so a true friendship of compassion cannot be built).
Loneliness is why I'm constantly playing RUclips videos and have them playing in my flat even when I'm not in the room and can't hear them. It feels like a constant, really reliable presence.
My problem is that I have “friends” but they are pretty much acquaintances that I talk to because there is no one else to talk to. It’s a terrible feeling when your “friends” feel so superficial and you can’t make real/genuine connections :/
I relate. It's so unbelievably rare to meet someone who is interested in genuine deep connection, happened to me, where suddenly you remember again what life is about. It's beautiful. But people move away, things change... and then you're stuck with the average uninterested superficial 'relationships' where you still feel kind of empty when going back home.
I'm not alone in a physical way. I'm surrounded by friends, family but I still feel alone. I feel being trapped by myself around people. I refuse love and I don't know why I'm acting like this because it makes me sick.
I understand the feeling. Find one person you can connect with and let it all out. Your in this life one time make sure u enjoy it to the fullest 🙏 I'll be praying for u
I would also say to try and let it out to someone whether that's a therapist or a person you trust but I would also reccomend looking into a religion or some sort of lifestyle that can give you meaning
I understand. It will be hard but I think it's important to learn how to love, to push urself about it. Not with everyone of course but yeah. You will surely find somebody to love one day and even if u dont want to. Im not specifically talking about falling in love but friendship, family relation, etc. Love is a part of happiness, a big part.
It's only when I'm surrounded by a group of people I am truly alone. Seeing all these other people connect, that I realize just how detached I am from the people I care about.
In school I almost never talk to anyone or walk around. I hate when other people see how lonely and alone I am and still don't care. The few times I actually talk with someone, is with teachers in class, or if someone wants something from me. I have a big hole in my heart that stands for friendship, hugging another human, kissing a girl, hugging a girl, having a girlfriend and getting love (both from family and friends). Every day I wonder if and when that hole will be filled, when someone actually likes me back because they like me and not because I have something they want...
@Thomas Light That is very true though. But if i knew what strangers around be in my daily life had been through i would properply feel the exact same way.
@@BB-bq5eg Yeah yeah, I tell people about everything that's happened to me in the past to me in the past 2 years and they're all like "Oh that sucks." And they never talk to me again.
@@alexosow That sounds hard. I think a lot of people try to avoid that irl. That's why the internet is sometimes a good place, where you can say stuff like that, even though we're complete strangers, we will care (including me :)). Hope you're ok.
@@BB-bq5eg Yeah I definitely agree with you on that, but it is kinda harder to have a lasting conversation with someone online if you don't really have anything in common
@@alexosow Ofc. But i think just sharing it and having somebody resbond and care can be very helpful for somebody, even though you don't know or will properply ever know that person. But yes, it is better with real friendships (and relationships). But a lot of people have trouble handeling other peoples problems face to face. And ofc it is very very hard for the person sharing there problems to just get the cold shoulder. I feel very sorry for you to expirience that.
I've slowly realized over time that most of my friends aren't people I want to be around. My older sister (my usual confidant and best friend) has a job now, and she's with her friends whenever she isn't working. I feel like nobody truly understands me; nobody truly accepts me for who I am 100%. I feel so alone and isolated from the world. I can't live like this my whole life. I don't know what to do, how to fix it, or if it even can be fixed. I just need someone here but... there's nobody. Everyone's busy.
I understand Billiam. My friends all got married and had kids while I was in and out of therapy for depression. Not one of them ever messaged, rang or called round to see how I was. They expected me to go to their hen dos and weddings to celebrate their successes and support their lows, but were never there for me when I was low. They either cut contact or I did. Now I have no local friends, and 2 friends I occasionally speak to by text. I'm very lonely and scared about living like this. I relate to seeing everyone being busy and wondering how or if I can ever make genuine friends of people who will have time for me.
I'm a student, living alone. I just got back from taking a walk and the hardest part is passing houses knowing inside there is a family, and their happy and all together. And I have no one. I have my stuffed teddy. My heart is hurting because I have no one and I long to just get a hug from someone.
Being Asian especially Indian, mental illness is the most hardest subject to bring forth to your parents. It's all a myth according the parents, it's just inside your head. Every time, I cry about my feelings to my mom, she has the same response; drink water, pray and meditate; it'll all be gone. I'm not even religious, but I can't even say that outside, I'd be disowned.
Hey went through mental illness as well from 13 years old but now at 18 things are much better. I want to create an instagram group where strangers with similar struggles can share their thoughts so they don’t feel alone. Do you want to join ? You are not alone
Well I’m Haitian but I feel this. My mom doesn’t even know that I’m dealing with depression and anxiety and taking meds for them. If I told her, she would tell me to pray harder and go to church
1:56 This is something only someone who isn’t lonely would say. They mean well but don’t understand that we’ve tried. So many times. Eventually it just hurts more being the only one reaching out
My parents think Im addicted to my phone because i only lay in bed and watch series or videos. In reality It is my shield where i can imagine my Life being like those shows and be Happy It really is my safe place. Any one??
The worst part of being alone… is constantly trying to distract myself from the fact that she’s not here anymore and when I find a moment of silence it’s almost unbearable.. all the memories, confusion and regrets all flood in….
I talk about topics as loneliness on my channel as well: Loneliness is paradoxically the worst feeling a human being can experience but it’s also something comfortable for me personally, it’s part of me
The hardest thing about breaking out of loneliness, is that when an opportunity comes, you are so use to being alone that you feel like you don't deserve it. And when you do take the opportunity, you can't enjoy the moment without thinking that sooner or later, you will go back to being lonely.
Thissss...this is the reason why I couldn't celebrate after getting selected into my dream medical college.The amount of hardwork I had put into entrance exam and cut out all the friends for that time but after the results it appeared to me those friends were no more there for me.
i have the worst abandonment issues because of this. i'm distant because everyone leaves. i don't have anyone because I know i can't handle another loss.
I never hugged someone except when I was back in 6th grade and a girl came by and gave me a hug when she felt sad 13 years later it's still the only hug I got
fr!! nowadays everyone is too anxious to approach new people bc they’re scared of other peoples judgment. when in reality a lot of people are just as lonely and need a friend too (im the same way though lol)
@@imana8907 totally agree! i feel the exact same way as u. ive dealt w social anxiety ever since i can remember so it makes it even harder than it already would be to put myself out there unfortunately. i know idk u but i sincerely wish u the best and hope u can feel a slight sense of reassurance knowing that i am only a message away if u ever feel alone :)
Tbh I feel like lonely people don't get noticed much because we hide. Everyone around me seems to have a lot of friends. Even when I asked people if they ever felt lonely they said no. It's so hard to come across people who relate to you when it comes to lonelyness irl. I only find people who truely know that feeling online.
When I was 8-10 I used to make up imaginary friends that comforted me when I was sad and they went on adventures with me, so I could deal with my loneliness. No real person wanted to talk to me. I just wanted friends.
I agree, for a long time I had a horrible “friend” who beat the hell out of me, because I was terrified of being lonely, but it’s so much better without him
i hate people that say this. i literally would rather have someone that literally would talk to me at least once a week rather than being completely alone. like just the thought that someone cares is comforting even if they really don’t, sometimes, ik it’s damaging in the long run but i’d literally do anything for that again
Bro, I literally cried to this. The only comment ive ever cried to. For a while I’ve wanted a best friend a real one but now I don’t rlly. But thanks, and truly I wish the same to u
Let’s all be lonely together. There isn’t a single person on this planet who deserves to be completely alone. Anyone who clicked on this video deserves to be happy and same goes to this sun the video. I want to give everyone a hug.
i make up stories about me having a friend. i like to imagine what they would say to me, when i accomplish something i imagine them being proud, i imagine them giving my drawings criticism and praise, i like to hug my big toy doggo and pretend like that's my friend hugging me, i stroke my own hair when i get that sinking feeling (like someone's consoling me), i fall asleep to random videos because that makes it feel like i have someone i know and live with.
Have anyone ever gotten to the point where they just hold a pillow and cry themselves to sleep all while fantasizing that the pillow ur holding is your s/o holding you and telling you everything is ok and you aren’t ugly or alone. I think I have issues because this is somewhat normal
no but i’ll imagine myself doing basic things such as having a good time with other people and being an extrovert people like, then i’ll smack myself and remind myself that that isn’t who i am, and it never will be, i’m damned to a life of utter loneliness
Yeah I've got this. I cry badly at midnight with tears rolling down my cheeks and then I look into the mirror hopelessly and wipe them myself imagining a soft warm hand gently clearing them. I desperately wait for someone to come and hug me but the reality is I don't even remember the last time someone hugged me. Ten-fifteen minutes pass by as I stare at the wall regretting everything I've done in life and not even having a single person who you can call at that moment eats you from inside. Finally I tightly press my face against the pillow, let it soak my tears and cry myself to sleep.
I sometimes feel like I'm going insane because i think its normal to feel these things in your 20s and stuff but i dont know if its normal to feel it in my age (teens). I talk to myself way too much, i sometimes pretend to have phone calls to feel like I'm actually talking to someone. I feel like loneliness is consuming me slowly. It's not that there aren't people who I'm surrounded by all day but i don't know if it's because of them or myself, but regardless of being with people or not, i always feel alone. I feel as if there's an empty void inside of me which is like a black hole, slowly sucking all life out of me until I become an emotionless sociopath. I don't thinking i will ever find love and I'm scared because I dont like being on my own because i just end up overthinking about how I'm a misfit everywhere.
It's very normal. Just search for "no friends" on youtube and there's a literal ton of people that go through similar stuff. We're not alone in being lonely!
i’m so lonely that when someone touches my hand by accident or a friend hugs me i think about it for weeks and crave it ,,, i’m a total introvert with really bad social anxiety and anxiety in general but i still NEED physical touch. since i have such bad anxiety and barely can go to school plus with covid, i rarely see my friends and even if i do, they aren’t touchy at all,,, i literally just need a hug 🧍♂️ edit: not y’all liking this comments this is so pathetic and embarrassing i didn’t think 200 people would relate woo hoo but i love you all,, sending a hug to my fellow touch starved loners
I tell myself I'm an introvert a lot and that I don't like being around people, but I think the only reason I tell myself these things is because I attempt to feel less lonely. I wish I could have friends to go out and do things with. All I long for is friends, but my anxiety and fear of judgement always keep me from being myself around people. It takes me so long to adjust and get used to people and I hate myself for it.
Don't hate yourself for it. It better to just accept it as you have been. Loneliest is something that based off perception and emotion and you can get rid of it and convince yourself it isn't a problem. It better to do this and be "happy" than to remind yourself of the problem. Don't seek for answers, forget the questions.
i relate. my friends that i've known for years. I have 3 that i'm completely comfortable around i'm glad they stuck with me when i was quiet. they also can make friends so quick and i'll hangout with their new friends but um always more quiet. I wanna say something but a part of my mind stops me from talking to them. I feel like they'll hate me if i say something wrong. I've been slowly getting out of that state of mind because i've been talking to people online. And I feel there's no judgment or if they do judge me it doesn't matter since they live in a different state or a different country. It been helping me finally talk my thoughts to people i've just been meeting. or people that i met through my friends a long time ago but never gotten close to.
I understand the guy eating lunch in bathroom. No one gets him. no one understands him. He feels ostracized. It’s a horrible feeling. I have went though the same thing my entire life. I’m numb to it now and kinda accepted it. I’m sure he has tried to approach people and make friends. For me when I approach people and try to make friends it never ends well and I end up in the bathroom stall eating my lunch. I understand so much what he is going through. No matter how much I try to interact and “normalize” these interactions I always fail. It’s a lot easier for me to avoid. It’s so tough.
I had posted on Facebook, "Loneliness is a feeling worst than pain itself." And one of my new co-workers commented on it and said that he would love to hang out with me sometime because he gets lonely too. We began dating and after 3 months he began abusing me, belittling me, telling me how his ex looked better than me, would talk badly to people at work about me, isolate me from my family, and would tell everyone we knew that I didn't deserve friends after I broke up with him. I am alone again but I would take that loneliness over someone making me feel alone any day.
I'm so sorry that happened to you, and I hope things are better for you now. Just know that you are worthy of love and friendships. Wishing you the best.
To be honest society created this. You look back at previous generations of humans and society was completely different. Human history reveals a lot of how and where each iteration of society came from. Today’s society is structured based on democratic capatlism power which puts consumers at higher levels. This was the co sequence of the 1700 to 1800 transition from a colonial period. Most of today’s society is I flurnced by hard economic items and commodities. This gives rise in greed and conquest in humans. Earlier time periods didn’t have such things since currency was different and trading was just born.Each new society introduces problems which can be solved easily. There is really truly nothing fudnemntally wrong with us. It’s a fact that society is strctured in such a way that a human being responds to this in certain situations. Look up society evolution and you will know what I mean
@@awesomesauce8199 They think this generation is overly dramatic. Mental health disorders were definitely not discussed back then it was kept in the closet in the family alone. So they really don't know anything about that kind of an issue.
@@rhea3990 that’s true this generation needs to address mental health issues because it’s important to us humans. Nowadays people are influenced by social media and constant posting pics of how excellent day they had. It’s like showing off that your are better than someone else which isn’t a good thing. This leads to depression and anxiety in which society should blame itself for creating such structures.
The fact is I turned 20, never been in a relationship. And being bullied so hard that I had two attempts I started to completely isolate. I haven't met or talked to my family (aunts, siblings, cousins) in a few years. My only friend has a partner and they are busy with their lives. I talk to no one. No one. At the start I felt incredibly lonely but now I am living with it. I feel like I missed out of my teens and will miss out of my further life. I talk to myself, or pretend to be with someone. I like to watch those videos and read the comments. It may not make me feel less lonely but brings me comfort that I am not alone. Sorry for my English its not my first language 😅
I grew up with 9 different young men. Every single one of them all found a wife, and are all happily married. 35 years later, I'm living on unemployment because I hurt myself and cant work. Every girl i tried to get with are not interested in me. About to hit 36 and loneliness has swallowed me. The terror of being the same thing at age 40 is horrifying. In genuinely horrifed for the future... 😢
If only all of us lonely people could come together and be friends with one another, like actual genuine friends...no one would have to feel this way anymore ❤️
This is so raw and deep. No sugar coating here, just being naked with your feelings. Mental issues are dismissed by our parents because they just don't want to accept their children aren't perfect. I was neglected and physically abused by trusted people, my own parents turned their back on me and treated me as a ping pong ball. Neither wanted me around, I was a burden, an embarrasment. I had seizures and instead of receiving love and compassion, I received the opposite. I still don't know what love is, neither do I know how to receive it or if I am worth it of it. I thought I was well but I'm not. I hate my life in spite of accomploshing many things. Because nothing can heal a childhood trauma..nothing!! I am a shattered soul, damaged, hurt, unhealed. That's why I love when I go to sleep, because there I can escape even for few hours my sad and tragic reality. No one should live like this♡
I feel the same, i totally understand this. Never had a connection with my parents, never felt safe emotionally around them so we truly never bonded. For the last 4 years i've been experiencing extreme loneliness. No one deserves this type of life, it's very cruel to the psyche.
I’ve never understood why talking to yourself is considered weird... it’s literally almost the same as thoughts we all talk to ourselves in our head I’m just saying it out loud 🤷🏼♀️
@@billduck1341 well no offense but that’s their problem lol and that’s just rude talking to yourself does not make you “crazy” I remember in school I zoned out a lot while talking to myself and I would always unconsciously look at someone and they thought I was weird af lol but idc
I read in newspaper that daydreaming and self-talking boosts your creativity,and seriously!! The people who would judge you are extroverts and they think being Extrovert is being NORMAL.
I’ve always been told to “be yourself” but the more I’m myself around people the more lonely I become. I have nothing in common with anyone. Also why can’t people just be nice to me!
I grew up in a home where we never showed or talked much about what we were feeling or emotions in general. So neither me nor my brother are not really able to connect with people, as we kind of seem to lack a vital part in social connection. It’s like you want to connect with people, but you don’t know how. When I was upset as a child, I was locked inside my room until I calmed down, rather than asked about what was wrong.
I think the only reason why I still survive is because of my illusions. I take comfort in daydreaming where I am the exact opposite of what I am now being lonely. These illusions would become overwhelming to the point that I'd space out for a while because I am too busy living in a story I am creating in my head. This is how I cope up when I experience mental breakdown. There are times that I'd go out of my bedroom smiling and hyped up because I haven't fully woke up from the daydream I just had. The worst feeling is when you come back to reality and the pillow that you were imagining as a person who loves you just became a normal pillow.
One of the top comments has a reply thread of people feeling the same way. Maybe you could talk to them. Have you ever played club penguin? You can talk to many people who'd care and listen if they heard your story. You might find people in the same area, I don't know.
Yes. Except I am not in the daydreams I dream, but I do it basically for the same reason. I use a lot of forms of escapism to the point where I become less functional.
Omg so relatable at this point I’m just living the story i created in my head where i have a imaginary best friend who comforts me everyday and whenever i try to break out of it. The atmosphere turns depressing and i break down mentally and cry a pool of tears because of how bad my life is rn. Daydreaming is how i cope with daily
@@reezyzfrenchfries3872 I am daydreaming that an interviewer asks me questions about my life, the person wants to write a book about my life.....

Lol me too. I think everyone does to an extent, just not out loud.
i monologue to myself and argue with myself as if im arguing with a real person but not around people because im embarrassed
Same, i still do it now, and i kinda wanna do it forever!
I do sometimes talk out loud , I just hold my phone near me like as if I'm recording, eventhough I am not. I'm weird
You don't realize how lonely you are until something good happens to you but you don't have anyone to tell.
All the time lol
Edit: I.e. I’ve got friends I technically ‘could’ tell, but the problem is that I feel they won’t really care, or will dismiss it or will just insult me for it idk

Today was my high school graduation and no one showed up for me. Not even my parents. It was cripplingly painful to see friends hugging their parents and taking pictures while I had to go back to my own dark empty car and drive myself home.
Congratulations on your graduation! Graduating high school is a big deal and an accomplishment worth celebrating. Just know that a stranger out there somewhere (me) is proud of you and is cheering you on :)

The hardest part of being lonely is not knowing where the loneliness is coming from. You just feel empty and you don't even know why.
exactly
Yeah same
Try reading quran. Not telling you to convert to anything. Just read
try to find self love i promise you it changed me I was so depressed and felt so so alone and I started to realize my worth and being okay with myself. I know it gets hard but you have been with yourself through everything. You don’t need people all the time. Just knowing you have yourself and accepting it and loving it. If you ever need anyone to talk to I’ll give you my Snapchat if you have it.
@@dulapeepbars3872 yeah i agree developing a new skill might also help uplift your confidence like i did by learning stock market trading just hook on a skill it will help
One of the hardest pills I've had to swallow is acknowledging the fact that if I'm not the one initiating contact, hardly no one communicates with me.
I can relate to this, hope all is well with you.
But sometimes their are people like me who wants to talk but don’t know what to say.
Same
Then when you reach out, they don’t reply or even acknowledge your existence. I feel like I’m dead to most people. Then, those who I’m not invisible to either want me to change (too much) or offer advice that I need to stop looking for validation or companionship in others. Doesn’t change the fact that I’d love the connection, but then it makes me wonder if I like things as much as the idea of the things.
Same with me. If I were to disappear tomorrow, no one would even notice.
Sometimes you feel the loneliest when you’re around people. When they’re in groups talking to each other or laughing with the their friends and you’re just.. there
Felt that
@Brielle Brooks Wow you really wrote much. But it's ok. I'm sure now you'll be feeling a little lighter in your heart. Maybe you wanted to tell your story to somebody who listen. If you don't like the behavior of your friend because she's indulged with her other friends then just let her go. Eventually you'll get more friends who'll be with you and listen to you. Don't ever think you're alone 🤗.
Agreed
You just made me remember something ooof
Brielle Brooks it’s cool I’ll be your friend.Also it’s not even like you don’t make friends it’s just that you don’t want to change yourself to fit in and not a lot of people can do that.And also I think all of depression and anxiety Is a perspective game like something could affect a person so much but someone else will wipe off the same thing like nothing happened and I think it’s also age related so your not the only one.
sometimes i have full-length conversations with myself where i pretend that i'm being "interviewed" about my feelings or my day and on bad days these conversations can go on for an hour. it took me a while to realize that i do this because barely anyone ever asks me how i'm really feeling/doing
Dude same
Same
I also do this but that's just because I'm aware that I talk too much, haha
It felt kind of nice to find someone who talks just as much though
Hey, it's been a while but, how're you doing?
me too... sometimes for several hours. every now and again, I'll become awfully self aware and think to myself "nobody asked that. There's noone here". and ill just break emotionally...
I actually like to daydream about having my soulmate by my side, laying on grass and stargazing, dancing with them on my favourite songs, traveling together, ice skating, horse riding, going to carnival, sky diving and shopping all while achieving success and thinking about spending the rest of my life with them.
Yeah mee to it helps me to grow through loneliness

Who the frick abandons their friend after telling them that they are suicidal
Fiona Juma been there. my friend group in freshman year drifted away from me after i opened up to one about being suicidal.
muncchi oh my god i’m so sorry 💔 you deserved so much better. i’m so sorry

@@Venven033 You don't deserve that. Im so sorry. You aren't toxic. And your feelings are 100% valid. Your life is so valuable and God loves you so much.❤
Not a single day passes where I don't talk to myself pretending there are people listening and interacting with me.
I am the exact same way. I have full on conversations with myself as though it is another person. Its like my conscience and I are two different people. That being said there's the other part of me that tells me I am worthless and I will always be lonely. Its a real struggle that I have. I just want to be happy. Truly happy.
@@ajdoman317 Yeah, I can relate and I don't know if that helps but I sincerly hope you get to experience true happiness one day. Hang in there.
@-- I also do that..... but I am actually taking an *interview* with a person who wants to write a book about my life.... I know it sounds weird.. but every time I do something, I imagine that interviewer asking me something like: "So *name* , when did you realise you have a passion for" or questions like that.....
To be fair, I know it sounds weird but my life is actually pretty interesting.... I started my own business at 13 at 15 I took an IQ test (an official one) and it turns out I am smarter than 7.6 billion people..... currently I am homeschooling myself, even tho I finished everything in the first month
Me too
We love you ❤️
Something worse than being alone is being around people who make you feel lonely and worthless
hi wanna talk about it together
Stay away from them
That's almost my entire extended family. My parents and siblings do not bother with me or my child. But I treasure the people in my life that do. If I didn't have them, I don't think I would be here.
My so called friends stayed with me out of pity because I had no one, so obviously whenever I see them I just feel disgusted
true😢 I feel like that all the time in my workplace
I am watching this crying. I feel like this all the time: I am 39, not married and no kids and my dog was my whole world!!! He just died. The amount of loneliness I feel is soul crushing. I hold his stuffed animal every night and kiss it just to feel I have something to give my love to and feel close to something
🥺💕⚘
Sorry for your loss. I hope things get better for you. Take care.
Wow, you must have been through a lot. I'd like you to know that a stranger admires your perseverance and bravery. I hope you find your path to fulfilment in life, you deserve it too. I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Hope you can make new memories someday.
Hope you're doing better now
I know this is super late but, same thing happened to me with my cat. I had never felt so destroyed in my life. It’s so hard to do anything and I miss him so much. and I considered him a friend. But now he’s gone. I hope that you are doing better now and know that, you deserve happiness in your life!
Does anyone daydream too much or re-enact different scenarios in their head? Or is it just me?🤕
Count me in when my daydream is better than my reality
nah i do the same thing
I thought I was the only one that does that
Just you. You're the only person on the planet with an imagination
All the time. Even when I am busy
One of the worst things is realizing that you are living most of your life in your head. The conversations, laughs, & friends you wish to have are all in your head.
Couldn't relate more

A few years ago, I tried to end myself. My friends didn't understand, blamed me for the way they felt about the situation and abandoned me, that is the loneliest I have ever felt, to be in need of a friend and to have none. I have nightmares, I'm scared of growing older and being alone, and I don't have anyone to reach out to....
I didn't realize just how truly lonely I was feeling till I started living in my car and realized I was too afraid to turn to anyone for help.
We are 8 billions of people and we are stile alone

Why is talking to yourself bad. Am I the only one who talks to himself even in a good mood?
Its not a bad thing.
I talk to myself all the time
I talk to myself even when I'm with my friends, I never thought it was weird 😂😂
Actually it is pretty helpful and I do that everyday.
Nah it's not bad
I talk to myself all the time like there's two persons inside me
No I'm not sick or crazy XD
Does anyone else get scared that your friends and family secretly see you as a burden or just dont like you. Like they care about you, but they dont like you.
yes all the time:(
The feeling where they are only trying to care about you because they have no choice.
every single time
They love us but only because they have to
That'simply anxiety, everyone has it
It had been proven that loneliness can cause an early death. It’s insane how much we need connection.
Source to back it up?
Thought I was having a heart attack yesterday so yeah
💔 ⚰️
I keep the television ON in my room just to hear and feel the presence of people. Helps me believe that I am not alone.
I do that too.😢
I remember when I was a kid before I went to bed I would have to have the TV on because it comforted me
I think that's why I can't sleep with total silence
If I go to my room and not turn the tv on I ll be really depressed it really helps
Me too x
honestly, the worst kind of loneliness is when you're surrounded by a big group of people and no one looks at you at all, as if you're not there
Loneliness is loneliness. There's nothing greater or lesser about it. If you feel sad, you feel sad.
💔💔
So very true.
I just leave or stay away from people like that. But in certain situations where I am around people ignoring me, it is truely a very bad feeling.
I usually prefer being alone, though, if im choosing to be around people at the moment, id feel pretty lonely if they completely ignored me
No the worse is when there is literally no one to talk to

The worst kind of lonely to feel is when you’re surrounded by people.
100%
So true... and it hurts
" modern loneliness, we're never alone but always depressed" lauv
I disagree. Not because I believe there's something worse but because I believe they're equally terrible. I was lonely surrounded by poeple and it was awfull, and I was lonely without people. It sucks either way. It's not nice to say that something is worse. Don't compare loneliness. You can be surrounded by friends and be lonely and you can have no family and friends and be lonely as well.
Facts... Yes! Yes it is! I feel like this on a daily.
Has anyone else ever daydreamed or fantasized about the future, how successful you would become and how many people will like you?
Yo I literally imagine myself to be this gifted polymath girl debuted as kpop idol at 13 and later becomes the most popular one because of my talents. Acting in lots of western movies like the avengers, and do a lot of other things like writing my own book or having my own webtoon at such young age, because well I'm gifted and a polymath.
And I would make a lot of money out of em, become one of the richest in asia, and use them to help better the world. Charity and charity and mooorreee charity because it's so painful to see the world's current state.
I imagine being so honest and genuine despite me being a public figure, I am so controversial to the point that people either really support me or really hate me, but the genuineness ended up changing the entire toxic Korean entertainment industry hahaha.
This is an imagination that have been continuing since I was in elementary school.... I can't get tired of it.

@@faith_12363 I've done the same too many times. Especially about the world aspect, I think about how I can change my society for the better.
I'm 28. Only had 1 friend, in high school, and think about him daily. Only had 1 gf, for 6 years, but it was long distance and never made to met her, and because of my depression getting worse and worse she couldn't wait for me anymore, which I understand. Last weekend I learnt she's getting married. It hit me so hard. My family loves me, 2 people, but only because they're forced to love me, because they are my family. If they weren't they wouldn't care about me, so it's a love doesn't really matter because they don't love because of who I am, but because they're my family. So at the end of the day I feel completely lone in this world. Been like this for 10 years since I finished high school and the worst part of it all is that I know very well it's not going to be fixed anytime soon, and so in the case I ever get it fixed. So I understand all of you very well. It sucks, but life is like this. Much love to you all❤️
Much love to you too bud 😊
And love to you as well. Some of the best word I've ever heard was that it's okay to be broken. I sometimes look at my family and think that i would want almost nothing to do with them if I didn't know so much about them. If only someone was willing to try and listen to someone else then we could have more friends who are closer than family. I know my friends often feel much closer than my family. I love you, and I hope that you have someone who will talk to you at anytime. It is often at night that I feel lonely, bc I know that no one will talk with me because they are asleep
Much love bro I feel for you
No you are wrong, your family doesn’t have to love you. There’s plenty of horror stories of abuse to prove that. Be grateful you have those two family members. Hope things work out for you

@Miguel Hernandez Who hurt you? Hey, remember that everything will be alright. You seem very angry, and i (an internet nobody) wish you all the best. Don't give up on yourself.
I am very lonely but I also can't see anything in myself worth sharing with others. the only value i have is the possessions I own so I try to share and be generous with them because that's all I'm worth.
I understand you, same thing with me
I'm so alone I listen to asmr, basically videos where people pretend to talk to you and interact with you, comfort you, etc. And I like to pretend its real because, well, its the most comfort I can get. And every night I listen to breathing sounds so it feels like someone is next to me.
I teared up when I read your comment because I do the exact same thing
Same
Hope things are better for you 🙏
The black lady really hit me... like it’s so true if you talk to stuffed animals who cares? If that brings you comfort then do it.
My teddy bear is only one who listens to me when I want to talk
Especially on her quotes at 2:25 and 2:40... she couldn't have laid it better
My thoughts. I do feel like much of that stigma is gone for stuffed animals, though. There IS still a big stigma around guys talking to anime girls for comfort, though. Most people think "pervert" and sure of course guys are attracted to pretty anime girls, but to be talking to an anime girl all the time, what does that say? It often says that people have treated you so badly that you feel like it's impossible to have a friend (mainly girls in this case) that cares about you, so you gave up talking to real girls or people. (Often making true guy friends is impossible cause of toxic masculinity and most guys not revealing their emotions, so a true friendship of compassion cannot be built).

Mee BTW hi army!!!
Yes, it usually helps me sleep.
Loneliness is why I'm constantly playing RUclips videos and have them playing in my flat even when I'm not in the room and can't hear them. It feels like a constant, really reliable presence.
My problem is that I have “friends” but they are pretty much acquaintances that I talk to because there is no one else to talk to. It’s a terrible feeling when your “friends” feel so superficial and you can’t make real/genuine connections :/
Exactly. Id rather have one true friend and have a deep conection with that friend than have 5 superficial friends.
This is the most relatable comment
I relate. It's so unbelievably rare to meet someone who is interested in genuine deep connection, happened to me, where suddenly you remember again what life is about. It's beautiful. But people move away, things change... and then you're stuck with the average uninterested superficial 'relationships' where you still feel kind of empty when going back home.
Yep
This is pretty much me rn :/
I'm not alone in a physical way. I'm surrounded by friends, family but I still feel alone. I feel being trapped by myself around people. I refuse love and I don't know why I'm acting like this because it makes me sick.
I understand the feeling. Find one person you can connect with and let it all out. Your in this life one time make sure u enjoy it to the fullest 🙏 I'll be praying for u
Maybe see a therapist and talk to whoever you trust the most
I would also say to try and let it out to someone whether that's a therapist or a person you trust but I would also reccomend looking into a religion or some sort of lifestyle that can give you meaning
I understand. It will be hard but I think it's important to learn how to love, to push urself about it. Not with everyone of course but yeah. You will surely find somebody to love one day and even if u dont want to. Im not specifically talking about falling in love but friendship, family relation, etc. Love is a part of happiness, a big part.
this
It's only when I'm surrounded by a group of people I am truly alone. Seeing all these other people connect, that I realize just how detached I am from the people I care about.
In school I almost never talk to anyone or walk around. I hate when other people see how lonely and alone I am and still don't care. The few times I actually talk with someone, is with teachers in class, or if someone wants something from me. I have a big hole in my heart that stands for friendship, hugging another human, kissing a girl, hugging a girl, having a girlfriend and getting love (both from family and friends). Every day I wonder if and when that hole will be filled, when someone actually likes me back because they like me and not because I have something they want...

@@alexosow That sounds hard. I think a lot of people try to avoid that irl. That's why the internet is sometimes a good place, where you can say stuff like that, even though we're complete strangers, we will care (including me :)). Hope you're ok.
@@BB-bq5eg Yeah I definitely agree with you on that, but it is kinda harder to have a lasting conversation with someone online if you don't really have anything in common
@@alexosow Ofc. But i think just sharing it and having somebody resbond and care can be very helpful for somebody, even though you don't know or will properply ever know that person. But yes, it is better with real friendships (and relationships). But a lot of people have trouble handeling other peoples problems face to face. And ofc it is very very hard for the person sharing there problems to just get the cold shoulder. I feel very sorry for you to expirience that.

I've slowly realized over time that most of my friends aren't people I want to be around. My older sister (my usual confidant and best friend) has a job now, and she's with her friends whenever she isn't working. I feel like nobody truly understands me; nobody truly accepts me for who I am 100%. I feel so alone and isolated from the world. I can't live like this my whole life. I don't know what to do, how to fix it, or if it even can be fixed. I just need someone here but... there's nobody. Everyone's busy.

@@lightyagami47299 thanks for invalidating my feelings! 😀 needed that today -_-
I understand Billiam. My friends all got married and had kids while I was in and out of therapy for depression. Not one of them ever messaged, rang or called round to see how I was. They expected me to go to their hen dos and weddings to celebrate their successes and support their lows, but were never there for me when I was low. They either cut contact or I did. Now I have no local friends, and 2 friends I occasionally speak to by text. I'm very lonely and scared about living like this. I relate to seeing everyone being busy and wondering how or if I can ever make genuine friends of people who will have time for me.
I'm a student, living alone. I just got back from taking a walk and the hardest part is passing houses knowing inside there is a family, and their happy and all together. And I have no one. I have my stuffed teddy. My heart is hurting because I have no one and I long to just get a hug from someone.

Being Asian especially Indian, mental illness is the most hardest subject to bring forth to your parents. It's all a myth according the parents, it's just inside your head. Every time, I cry about my feelings to my mom, she has the same response; drink water, pray and meditate; it'll all be gone. I'm not even religious, but I can't even say that outside, I'd be disowned.
I have never felt something so much in my life
Hey went through mental illness as well from 13 years old but now at 18 things are much better. I want to create an instagram group where strangers with similar struggles can share their thoughts so they don’t feel alone. Do you want to join ? You are not alone
Well I’m Haitian but I feel this. My mom doesn’t even know that I’m dealing with depression and anxiety and taking meds for them. If I told her, she would tell me to pray harder and go to church

The worst part of being alone… is constantly trying to distract myself from the fact that she’s not here anymore and when I find a moment of silence it’s almost unbearable.. all the memories, confusion and regrets all flood in….

The hardest thing about breaking out of loneliness, is that when an opportunity comes, you are so use to being alone that you feel like you don't deserve it. And when you do take the opportunity, you can't enjoy the moment without thinking that sooner or later, you will go back to being lonely.
Amen to the latter part. I've always experienced dread and extreme loneliness after spending time with people and everyone goes home.
That’s part of the main reason why I push away when I do get that opportunity, even tho I really don’t want to..
Thissss...this is the reason why I couldn't celebrate after getting selected into my dream medical college.The amount of hardwork I had put into entrance exam and cut out all the friends for that time but after the results it appeared to me those friends were no more there for me.

Tbh I feel like lonely people don't get noticed much because we hide. Everyone around me seems to have a lot of friends. Even when I asked people if they ever felt lonely they said no. It's so hard to come across people who relate to you when it comes to lonelyness irl. I only find people who truely know that feeling online.
Probably the most beautiful comment in this comment section
When I was 8-10 I used to make up imaginary friends that comforted me when I was sad and they went on adventures with me, so I could deal with my loneliness. No real person wanted to talk to me. I just wanted friends.
2:51 i relate to that very last part she said. loneliness is wanting to have those things, but can’t bc you have no control over it
just remember...it’s better to have nobody than to have someone who is half there, or doesn’t want to be there.
I disagree. Having had literally nobody for well over a year, and I mean literally nobody, I want someone to talk to even occasionally.
I agree, for a long time I had a horrible “friend” who beat the hell out of me, because I was terrified of being lonely, but it’s so much better without him
@@ultamememaster2122 that's totally different.
i hate people that say this. i literally would rather have someone that literally would talk to me at least once a week rather than being completely alone. like just the thought that someone cares is comforting even if they really don’t, sometimes, ik it’s damaging in the long run but i’d literally do anything for that again

I cry badly at midnight with tears rolling down my cheeks and then I look into the mirror hopelessly and wipe them myself imagining a soft warm hand gently clearing them. I desperately wait for someone to come and hug me but the reality is I don't even remember the last time someone hugged me. Ten-fifteen minutes pass by as I stare at the wall regretting everything I've done in life and not even having a single person who you can call at that moment eats you from inside. Finally I tightly press my face against the pillow, let it soak my tears and cry myself to sleep.

I talk to myself way too much, i sometimes pretend to have phone calls to feel like I'm actually talking to someone. I feel like loneliness is consuming me slowly. It's not that there aren't people who I'm surrounded by all day but i don't know if it's because of them or myself, but regardless of being with people or not, i always feel alone. I feel as if there's an empty void inside of me which is like a black hole, slowly sucking all life out of me until I become an emotionless sociopath. I don't thinking i will ever find love and I'm scared because I dont like being on my own because i just end up overthinking about how I'm a misfit everywhere.

This though.
similar to me
I tell myself I'm an introvert a lot and that I don't like being around people, but I think the only reason I tell myself these things is because I attempt to feel less lonely. I wish I could have friends to go out and do things with. All I long for is friends, but my anxiety and fear of judgement always keep me from being myself around people. It takes me so long to adjust and get used to people and I hate myself for it.
I have never read something more relatable than this :'(
Don't hate yourself for it. It better to just accept it as you have been. Loneliest is something that based off perception and emotion and you can get rid of it and convince yourself it isn't a problem. It better to do this and be "happy" than to remind yourself of the problem. Don't seek for answers, forget the questions.

i relate. my friends that i've known for years. I have 3 that i'm completely comfortable around i'm glad they stuck with me when i was quiet. they also can make friends so quick and i'll hangout with their new friends but um always more quiet. I wanna say something but a part of my mind stops me from talking to them. I feel like they'll hate me if i say something wrong. I've been slowly getting out of that state of mind because i've been talking to people online. And I feel there's no judgment or if they do judge me it doesn't matter since they live in a different state or a different country. It been helping me finally talk my thoughts to people i've just been meeting. or people that i met through my friends a long time ago but never gotten close to.
I've created multiple inner voices to not feel alone. All of them have their personalities and ideas. I have them since 5 years.
I understand the guy eating lunch in bathroom. No one gets him. no one understands him. He feels ostracized. It’s a horrible feeling. I have went though the same thing my entire life. I’m numb to it now and kinda accepted it. I’m sure he has tried to approach people and make friends. For me when I approach people and try to make friends it never ends well and I end up in the bathroom stall eating my lunch. I understand so much what he is going through. No matter how much I try to interact and “normalize” these interactions I always fail. It’s a lot easier for me to avoid. It’s so tough.
Same for me ✊
You couldn't have described it better, I feel the same
I had posted on Facebook, "Loneliness is a feeling worst than pain itself." And one of my new co-workers commented on it and said that he would love to hang out with me sometime because he gets lonely too. We began dating and after 3 months he began abusing me, belittling me, telling me how his ex looked better than me, would talk badly to people at work about me, isolate me from my family, and would tell everyone we knew that I didn't deserve friends after I broke up with him. I am alone again but I would take that loneliness over someone making me feel alone any day.
I'm so sorry that happened to you, and I hope things are better for you now. Just know that you are worthy of love and friendships. Wishing you the best.
Oh my God....I am sorry you had to go through that...lots of love to you from me :)
I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I hope you find someone that loves and respect you for you even if it’s yourself. 🤍
Not gonna lie, I thought this was a happy one, you had me in the first half. Stay strong.

I really wish society was a bit educated about mental health and loneliness.
To be honest society created this. You look back at previous generations of humans and society was completely different. Human history reveals a lot of how and where each iteration of society came from. Today’s society is structured based on democratic capatlism power which puts consumers at higher levels. This was the co sequence of the 1700 to 1800 transition from a colonial period. Most of today’s society is I flurnced by hard economic items and commodities. This gives rise in greed and conquest in humans. Earlier time periods didn’t have such things since currency was different and trading was just born.Each new society introduces problems which can be solved easily. There is really truly nothing fudnemntally wrong with us. It’s a fact that society is strctured in such a way that a human being responds to this in certain situations. Look up society evolution and you will know what I mean
@@awesomesauce8199 They think this generation is overly dramatic. Mental health disorders were definitely not discussed back then it was kept in the closet in the family alone. So they really don't know anything about that kind of an issue.
@@rhea3990 that’s true this generation needs to address mental health issues because it’s important to us humans. Nowadays people are influenced by social media and constant posting pics of how excellent day they had. It’s like showing off that your are better than someone else which isn’t a good thing. This leads to depression and anxiety in which society should blame itself for creating such structures.
Instead of giving mental health lessons school gives us mental health problems
The fact is I turned 20, never been in a relationship. And being bullied so hard that I had two attempts I started to completely isolate. I haven't met or talked to my family (aunts, siblings, cousins) in a few years. My only friend has a partner and they are busy with their lives. I talk to no one. No one. At the start I felt incredibly lonely but now I am living with it. I feel like I missed out of my teens and will miss out of my further life. I talk to myself, or pretend to be with someone. I like to watch those videos and read the comments. It may not make me feel less lonely but brings me comfort that I am not alone.
Sorry for my English its not my first language 😅

I was thinking the same while watching this video and scrolling through the comment section.
This is so raw and deep. No sugar coating here, just being naked with your feelings. Mental issues are dismissed by our parents because they just don't want to accept their children aren't perfect. I was neglected and physically abused by trusted people, my own parents turned their back on me and treated me as a ping pong ball. Neither wanted me around, I was a burden, an embarrasment. I had seizures and instead of receiving love and compassion, I received the opposite. I still don't know what love is, neither do I know how to receive it or if I am worth it of it. I thought I was well but I'm not. I hate my life in spite of accomploshing many things. Because nothing can heal a childhood trauma..nothing!! I am a shattered soul, damaged, hurt, unhealed. That's why I love when I go to sleep, because there I can escape even for few hours my sad and tragic reality. No one should live like this♡
I feel the same, i totally understand this. Never had a connection with my parents, never felt safe emotionally around them so we truly never bonded. For the last 4 years i've been experiencing extreme loneliness. No one deserves this type of life, it's very cruel to the psyche.

@@Yamiiiilovcore i said IF
I’ve always been told to “be yourself” but the more I’m myself around people the more lonely I become. I have nothing in common with anyone. Also why can’t people just be nice to me!
I grew up in a home where we never showed or talked much about what we were feeling or emotions in general. So neither me nor my brother are not really able to connect with people, as we kind of seem to lack a vital part in social connection. It’s like you want to connect with people, but you don’t know how. When I was upset as a child, I was locked inside my room until I calmed down, rather than asked about what was wrong.
I think the only reason why I still survive is because of my illusions. I take comfort in daydreaming where I am the exact opposite of what I am now being lonely. These illusions would become overwhelming to the point that I'd space out for a while because I am too busy living in a story I am creating in my head. This is how I cope up when I experience mental breakdown. There are times that I'd go out of my bedroom smiling and hyped up because I haven't fully woke up from the daydream I just had. The worst feeling is when you come back to reality and the pillow that you were imagining as a person who loves you just became a normal pillow.
One of the top comments has a reply thread of people feeling the same way. Maybe you could talk to them. Have you ever played club penguin? You can talk to many people who'd care and listen if they heard your story. You might find people in the same area, I don't know.
Yes. Except I am not in the daydreams I dream, but I do it basically for the same reason. I use a lot of forms of escapism to the point where I become less functional.
Omg so relatable at this point I’m just living the story i created in my head where i have a imaginary best friend who comforts me everyday and whenever i try to break out of it.
