  • 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?

If the humanity will see that doing fine without much interaction and staying individualistic, then we will become more individualistic. If we'll see that it is an irrelevant way, we won't. Right now I think we'll stay the way we are now, social creatures. Even now there are a lot of cultures and societies which encourage collectivism. The western society is a different beast, we're pretty individualistic, but then again, we really we the rising loneliness problem

      From my experience, this seems to work. I had friends before 2020 but none of them were very close, and even tho I barely have any friends now, I feel less lonely than before because I’m better at occupying myself. Not having friends but keeping myself happy is probably not a permanent solution but it’s definitely a good first step toward not being lonely, I guess it’s like fully figuring myself out before rejoining society and trying to make friends again

    Loneliness is when you’re surrounded by people, but don’t feel connected with them. You have hours of conversation, but still feel empty and unsatisfied. You try to speak up, but they don’t understand.

      A little late but here i go:
      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.
      Meeting new people makes you vulnerable and consumes a lot of time/energy but in
      the end its the only way.

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.

      @@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

      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

    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 :)

      Very true. I work in the construction industry. God help you if you admit loneliness or any psychological or emotional problems. You'd become the target of merciless ridicule. I work in an office. A homeless person took cigarette butts from the Smoker's Station ashtray . Our company offers counselling by a professional company for those who need it. My coworker pinned a copy of the offer of counselling to the ashtray.
      "Why did you do that?" I asked.
      "Because it's for losers" he replied.

I do have friends and family's like most people out there do, but something special is really missing for me and I really don't know what it is for me. That last special puzzle piece is really missing for me out their and its important. Trying to figure out what it means.
      it feels like something is truly missing for me that I have not yet experience. I really haven't found that special something for me yet out there and Its really hard to find that special piece for me. Its really hard to find that last puzzle piece. I been thinking about that too much. It feels like I'm about to lose to my depression and my loneliness who can't find that last piece to the puzzle.

    With the Corona pandemic, I stopped participating in social life in general. And yes, I have developed the attitude that all people are shit. Even if I look at the world, it doesn't help me much to get out of this depression.
    I've come to terms with the fact that at some point I'll just be dead and no one knows who I was.
    So to everybody else, look after yourselfs and keep being social.

      @Curry Rose @smaple the only one you can make that it stop is yourself, you know. You have to get out of that comfort zone and put yourself out there. Maybe the first 50 people you come across won't care, but maybe the 51st person would and then continue doing that. It's a lot of effort, but anything worth having needs effort. I wish you the best. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, because trust me, you're not ALONE with this feeling.
