  • Everybody feels lonely sometimes. But only few of us are aware how important this feeling was for our ancestors - and that our modern world can turn it into something that really hurts us. Why do we feel this way and what can we do about it?

    it hurts so much when nobody reaches out to you in the first place. You are never directly talked to by your “friends” and continually excluded from the plans that they made together. You are just there; you’re not important in anyones life and they don’t seem to care about you at all. Nobody checks up on you to see how you are doing or if you want to hang out. Even when you reach out to them first, there is always an excuse of why they can’t go. Even when you thought you made a new friend-one who treats you like an existing person-they start to ignore you and act like you never existed. You eventually start to resort to books, movies, and music to escape from your reality and into a fantasy. You know you would be such a good friend if people just gave you a chance. You’re always left wondering, “what did I do?”

      @@housecat1674 damn. that sucks. I know it dont feel like it... but that was not you. that was them. I had 2 experiences where I tried. one was great. one was not, and I let it ruin me.
      *1 - in hs in florida we had a nice outdoors campus (art school). during lunch, I saw an obviously (facial/body expression) lonely boy sitting against a pillar looking down at the grass. I said "Hey man what's up? you new? want to go for a walk?" and he did. we had fun that one time. we never hung out with each other after that day, but he had made friends and always smiled and said hello to me in the halls. (I was art, he was music - no shared classes)
      *2 - another time in hs, after school by the bus loading area, there was a nervous looking, very quiet kid with glasses. I thought the other time was good.. I made someone happy and I felt good. so I stood right in front of him, waved and said "hello!" and he just stared at me. I repeated my word... and he blinked. I felt so sad. like I was bothering him. I said sorry and slunk away. I never fucking did that again. it was stupid of ME. in hindsight, i shouldn't have ever let myself feel shame for reaching out.
      * years later, I saw the boy from story 1. he was so happy to see me, and told me and the friends he was with, that I'd never know how much I changed his hs experience just from that one day. he made a lot of friends. I wish I could have been his friend, but it didn't happen - we were really different and lived far from each other.
      what I'm trying to say, is we'll never be able to reach someone who isn't ready or willing to be reached. but this reaching out and trying again is a real thing that can have such an impact...
      well I lied. I did reach out again. i met my last significant other inside of an abandoned building.. and I saw him a few weeks later walking in the streets where I lived. I pulled over and said "hey. wanna go for a drive?" he did. then i killed him... not. but we did joke about how i could have... we've been together 8 years. o.o

It made me realize during one of the worst times in my life that I was significantly isolating myself, making it worse. It encouraged me to reach out to people, and though I didn't make any life changing friendships, it made my senior year of high school a hell of a lot more bareable. So, yeah.

      Marceline Morales okay, so as the video itself recommends, I’m trying to lift somebody’s mood up although it’s not what I would normally do. But I can tell you that feeling left behind the group is a very familiar feeling. In fact, now that I think about it it’s been a long time since I actually cared about it because it happened so many times that it kinda became a normality for me to feel left out. Or maybe I just got used to it or I’m not trying anymore or whatever the video says. Anyways, in my case, I know that people would have accepted me if I tried a bit harder therefore I think you can choose not to be alone and maybe if you give yourself a chance( or multiple chances) you can get yourself out of that isolation bubble. And also you’re probably cool and funny and if you haven’t found the right people around you yet then just keep being yourself.
      I hope it didn’t make you feel sadder, lol

      So i had this problem back in school too.
      My "friends" were nice and all.
      I talked a lot with them but it never felt right.
      Sometimes i didnt say what i meant other times i just couldnt speak up.
      The thing is (and thats the hard part) theyre not real friends.
      Trust me if they hurt you (in anyway) or you dont feel comfortable around them -> get fucking rid of them.
      Real friendship is so different from that i still cant believe it.
      I dont have to think what im saying. It just clicks and i just feel happy now.
      Youve to try again and again and thats the hardest part of the problem.
      Every relationship is like that.
      Youve to sort out the troublemakers/idiots/etc. and to do that youve to just try (again and again...).
      Its not going to be easy but hang in there and believe in yourself.
      Your future self will thank you.
      Youll think back and it will be crazy how it changed.
      Hope this somehow helps.
      Feeling lonely is probably one of the worst things out there but its cureable.

    Damn. This was one of the most surreal experiences of my life, the man just narrated everything I've been going through and everything that I've thought and felt in the past 3 years. In the past 3 years to cope with loneliness I developed a lot of bad habits and addictions including pornography and vaping. I never mental health was a big deal and made no effort to try and find out why I was feeling the way I did. Every single question he presented towards the end of the video my answer is yes to all of those. Ignoring friends, family and every single human being, deleting my social media accounts and trying to embrace some "lone wolf" mentality completely destroyed my metal health. I don't usually go on social media and talk about myself but I guess it's about time to change that and so this is me taking my first step towards curing loneliness and I hope that whoever is reading this finds the courage to open up and find a way outta the vicious cycle of loneliness.

    Loneliness has helped me a lot personally. It has taught me how to entertain myself better, which has lead to more interests in things such as learning or meditation. I think it is okay to like being alone. I personally do enjoy my alone time. I get overwhelmed being around people often times and feel drained by social interaction. I am not antisocial by any means though, just more reclusive and introverted. I prefer quality over quantity in all things, especially company. And I try to be grateful for every day, whether it has been a challenging day full of suffering, or an easy day full of pleasure. I like contrast in experience because I feel it necessary to better understand ourselves as individuals, and to better understand our own truths, whatever they may be. I like your videos. They are good entertainment and are very thought provoking, whether I agree or not with everything they say. Thank you :)

I have to pretend in order to keep my social bonds but, really, if 90% of people I know disappeared, I wouldn't miss them. And it's not because they're bad, in fact most are very awesome people.

    After finishing school and moving to another country, I realized how lonely I was and is. I only interacted with people within my class. This can be called "forced cooperation" and because of this, I didn't feel lonely, because, despite the fact that sometimes I had a conflict with some classmates, we still got along, laughed and helped each other during the tests. I also had a friend with whom I spoke. In class, we felt comfortable with each other, but outside of school, we felt awkward. Then I moved to another country. I thought that this was a new page in my life and I should become more confident, but I became more withdrawn. I went to work and the work team was close. I felt that I didn't fit in there and I felt lonely, although the chefs tried to make friends with me, but I lost such a skill. One of the chefs told me that I was somehow cold in communication. I can't communicate with people. When I open my mouth, I forget the words, the sentences are broken and uncertain, I speak quietly and indistinctly. Confidence only arises when I become emotional. My sister and mother know me well my character and how loud and talkative I become with loved ones. Thanks to my sister, I do not feel completely alone, but only when she is not next to me. Sorry for the long comment. You know that lonely people have no one to tell about their anxieties and experiences. Maybe I really need to see a psychologist, because I have noticed more than once when with a person whom I have known for only 1 hour, I begin to talk about my life. It's very strange and I understand it.

    I’ve been ignored so many times now by people who I used to be friends with. My heart has been broken again and again with each time I trusted someone and shared my feelings with them. Experiences like that leave me feeling like friendships are a waste of time to pursue. Why get a friend if that requires me to trust them at some point? And why trust them when they can just as easily abandon me the way the others have done in the past? At this point, loneliness is the standard feeling I carry with me each day because there’s no other option. Either I’m lonely, or I’m lonely.
    And now, every time I see other adult friends hanging out with each other and having a good time together. I always believe that they’re faking it.

    Never ever underestimate how destructive loneliness can be.
    Things lose interest and importance. Why celebrate a victory alone? So why look for a win? To advance? Why even try if, after all, nobody cares?
    Socially isolated, I spend months/years without real social contact other than the minimum at work. No friends, no children, no loved ones. I don't expect to find someone one day, as I am now unable to comprehend a lasting friendship or even an interest in the walking carcass I have become.
    The web is even more dangerous due to the multitude of its toxic and negative impacts which end up reinforcing the feeling that the outside is hostile.
    At the age of 40, I'm just waiting for my end, hoping at least the gift that it will be fast. People are nothing more than ghosts, shadows of a movie that passes through a veil, in which I do not participate, where no one even ask if i at least enjoy looking. From time to time, instinct wakes up, we want to fight. And so what? For what? For who? Even warriors must rest and need a reason to be fighting for.
    For those sensitive, be careful with loners around you. When they cross the border, it will be like a cosmological horizon. Sometimes they can no longer be helped because they will no longer expect anything, you will just be another shooting star that will remind them how different and exterior they are. Then you will tire, then the person will tire and you will disappear into limbo, becoming a new gray echo.

      @@maaj06 For now, it's holding up. After all these years, it's cyclical, I get used to it and a source of negativity is gone. A bit of relief after month of nightmares.
      You know, when we think about it...If nothing makes sense, we are free to do what we want. In the face of time and the immensity of the universe, nothing has meaning and nothing is definitive. Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing matters really if you take the outer world has judge.
      In the end, we are the ones who gives meaning to things, and they have no more importance than what we give them. We don't control what life will throw at our face, but we can decide how we'll take it. Life's a b.. ok. That's the norm. No need to cry about it forever because no one care. But no one said we can't give her a run for her money when we understand deeply that it isn't 'why" sadness and bad luck falls on us, but "when".
      I discovered by chance that the local karate dojo was kyokushin. A full contact style, difficult, painful but which has always impressed me since childhood. On a whim, I went to take a look. Why not? After all, I'm only 25kg overweight and have smoked heavily for 20 years...The next day, I was covered in bruises, I could barely walk. When I got home, I had to crawl up my stairs but I did it. This was more beneficial than 10 months of anxiolytics.
      It's fun because it's a bit like a "Fight Club" experience. Pain satisfies my self-destructive side. The rage I have against myself and against this life fuels my will to keep going. Solitude gives me more time to get back into shape. And getting voluntarily hit in the guts proves me that i'm not "that" fragile in the end.
      I don't do it "for me", not to "win" nor for happiness and to feel good about myself of whatever BS, but to vanquish my old "me", to become better than who I was when I had still hope for the future and a good life. Burn my past to light a new path. It's not because i'll die alone that i can't die with dignity and some pride. And those doesn't depend of anybody but me. I don't care about self improvement, i don't care about blooming. i'm not a f. sunflower.
      Every day, i want to give up, just stay in bed. Warm next to the fire. I fear that the abyss calls me back again at any moment. But i remember that has long has i don"t succomb to the calling, i'm the one in charge to choose how i'll make me suffer today. And i try to do it in a constructive way. I try. Not always succesfully, not every day, but the idea is there.
      But I pay close attention to the great bursts of positivity that we sometimes have, which take our heads above water and then sink us even deeper the next day. The cursed Up&Down...I try to keep a routine. I study philosophy to nourish this momentum (stoicism is very interesting for strengthening one's mind. Harsh, but we are too deep in the abyss. Light philosophy and gentle thinking aren't strong enough to affect us. They are juste snacks for our darkness.)
      Not really any advice, other than sharing those thoughts... Just one thing maybe : Do not wait. The goal is not to be better and happier tomorrow. F..k happiness, F..k tomorrow and F..k the other living things around us.. The idea is just to try to be a bit better than the wreck we were yesterday, even if it's just doing the dishes. Better done today than never, no?
      There won't be sign of salvation, nobody'll come save us. Damsels in distress are for fairytales.
      If you want to try a new practice to break the loop and support yourself in rebuilding yourself: choose something strong, intense, which will absorb you body and soul.
      The thing you'll be proud to think "i did it, me alone" at the end of the game.
      Build on it, think on it. I still would gladly die tomorrow, but today i won't be the one pressing the trigger. Too easy, life, too easy. You don't want me? Come take out the trahs yourself! BTW, be carefull with the angry racoon that has nothing to loose.
      There is always the risk that life takes it from you in a way or another, but it won't take away the experience and the knowledge that one day, you looked at this b. right in the eyes and said "f..it, i won't die in passively and in silence".
      I tried calligraphy...ended only writing dark words and thoughts. I tried survivalism...but why learn how to survive when the point is that i DON'T want to survive? Why learn how to protect when i don't have anything to defend? But hit, getting hitted, suffering but this breathing somehow? That is a familiar ground.
      Take care

      It’s funny how we interpret unluck like, why me ??? As you say, I feel like i’m fighting with life but you’ve open my eyes in a part. Yes I cannot do anything, it’s the way life goes but still, why??
      I did the same thing as you. I struggled alone, so i find something to really fight with. I do a sport. At first i was like maybe i’ll can do friends or just TALK with someone but again, no one come or just accept a new person. So i feel sad.
      I have nothing to defend, me too, i’m angry with me. Did I think things were going to change ? it could be that life has nothing to offer, you must choose to accept and live with it or just give up. We have to fight. I won’t do it for me, but I would like to say « Look, I did it alone and no one never help me for anything » maybe it’s crazy lmao.
      Loneliness separates us so much, and it's hard to hold on. I always think I have accepted but I find myself crying alone I look at myself and I really feel sorry for myself.
      I listened to everything you said, I keep it and I even think about rereading it when I feel like I'm misunderstood. Your testimony is precious for me. thank you for the time you took, it did not pass before the eyes of a blind woman.

      @@maaj06 Carefull with the idea of what someone is worth. That's quite an illusion. Is water the same for the lost in a desert and someone at sea? Still..it's water. Nature is the same, perception differs.
      Sad that it didn't clicked for a sport, but maybe you should try again? Having a stimulating and interesting activity (for you. Don't care what other could think) is a key.
      Never be ok with the feeling that you may be worthless, forever alone, without goals nor meaning of live. Those seems like the words of depression and deep sadness more than anything. And this sickness wants you to feel miserable, helpless and vulnerable. Easy prey. That absolutely doesn’t mean that’s the case nor a fatality.
      In fact, there is always something to fight for. Yourself. Your integrity. Protecting who you are of who you can become. You"re angry? Good. That the sign that somewhere, you are still fighting. Learn, train, try, miss, fail and start over. You want this to end? Good news, it will. Some day or another. But before that, why not try and try again to focus and become what you whish you could have been in another life?
      Be prepared that there will always be obstacle. Even more if you're on the right way. There will always be. See it has a test of determination. Nothing else. A test to see how you'll adapt. Never listen to the voice who'll say "see? You failed again", it's a trap.
      I don't have magic help for loneliness. I know i'll die alone, without family and probably without friends. And it's ok. I prefer to walk alone when i'm in a discovery trip. I want to share my experience but no one to talk to? Then i'll just write it. After all, most people i met became toxic sooner of later. (even at this very moment)
      The years you're in aren't the easier but don't forget that things changes and you're still constructing yourself. Nothing is fixed. Still, don't be afraid to look for help if needed. There is no shame to it, but be very carefull when you says you're young and quite vulnerable, especially to strangers or people you aren't sure are trustworthy.

    The only reason I feel lonely is because everyone around me decided to put barriers around themselves like a reservation for someone else who they want to get to know. Thus sprouted a growing social anxiety that made me doubt I could just speak to someone after so everyone decided to ignore me, or moreover decided I didn't exist in the same room. It has also made me an extremely quiet person when in public. I don't speak to anyone, I barely make any noise, nothing I do attracts attention, so why would I even try? The only people I have to talk to is my doctor, dentist, and limited number of family members. Which is good and all, but I wish I had more people around me who knew me as friends who I would also think them close enough to be considered as if they were like family.
