How are you feeling lately?

I will admit, some days it feels like there’s no one out there for me to love, I feel so lonely it hurts. Being at work helps, having my co-workers, but I do wish I had that special someone in my life.

Timestamps 1). Materialism 1:06 2). Social media addiction 1:39 3). Envy 2:13 4). Eating/Weight/Sleeping problems 2:47 5). Constant boredom and restlessness 3:22 6). Out of control emotions 3:59 7). Inability to be alone with yourself 4:32 Hopefully this helps you.

Isn’t it weird how when you feel so sad or lonely that you can feel it in your chest and stomach? Just me?

Solitude is one thing, loneliness is another. Solitude is where you're alone, by yourself, enjoying your own personal time. Loneliness is being denied positive interaction. It doesn't matter if you're in a room full of people, you can still feel lonely if they treat you like you're invisible or insignificant.

I think I always low key feel lonely, but I’m not extremely lonely anymore. I think feeling misunderstood is probably the loneliest feeling in the world:(

I was actually a lot more lonely when I was surrounded by people who were supposed to love me that didn’t treat me well or understand me. Now that I’m an adult it’s so isolating but I feel more empty than lonely.

Need this. Prolonged loneliness can numb a person’s emotion too. I sometimes use work or study as an excuse to distract myself. Thank you for this video, everyone. Stay safe and take care.

1) Socio emotional Needs 2) Materialism 3) Envy 4) Eating/ weight/ sleeping problems 5) constant boredom and restlessness 6) Out-of-control emotions 7) inability to be alone with yourself Thank you.

I think this is a feeling we can all relate to at least once in life but it’s nice to know that it comes and goes and you’re not the only one experiencing this feeling ❤

No matter where I go, I always feel lonely. Been lonely for 26 years of my life. But yeah, I can relate to some of these signs.

-Materialism Yes, but less now -Social media addiction Yes, but not a lot -Eating/weight/sleeping problems Yes, sleeping specially -Constant Boredom and restlessness Yes, absolutely -Out of control emotions Exactly like is described in the video -Inability to be alone with yourself Yes yes yes. I spend time trying to be with people who make me feel like i don't fit in sometimes I really feel lonely and i hate it 😔

All of these are direct parallels to myself, but seeing all the people in the comments reminds me that we're not alone in feeling alone, and you don't have to feel lonely by your lonesome.

I'm lonely but the fact is that I'm happy and peaceful knowing you don't have to be around toxic, manipulative, rude people etc

Very relatable also anyone else raw dogging there loneliness and depression no meds no therapy no help just sheer willpower to not give up 🖐

This video honestly has made me realize that nearly half of my 20's was spent like this....I'm pretty shy, introverted and have a tendency to overthink things which makes socializing and putting myself out there harder than it needs to be, so yeah... loneliness now feels different as opposed to a few years ago. It usually comes from the withdrawal of my own need for solitude, feeling bored, dissatisfied with life or misunderstood in some way.

With the exception of materialism, as I don't much care for having things or excess money, I went through all of these last year. Every single day, I felt less and less at peace and had more loneliness seeping in. I was called toxic and told that I was "Ruining the night for everyone" because of how I reacted to the feeling. I lost friends due to it, but looking back now with the help of these videos, I realise that those people weren't good for me. Nor was I good for them. I don't think I'm "happy" but I also feel way better than I did then, and it's partly due to no longer being around them, as well as the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy I went through to get me out of my depression. While not every option is free, there are people willing and qualified to help a single call away, and even online services to set you up with them. Don't hesitate to use them.

1:04 materialism 1:39 social media addiction 2:51 eating weight sleep problems 3:26 constant boredom/ restlessness 3:59 out of control emotions 4:29 inability to be alone with yourself thank me later! 😁😁😁😁

I have experienced a few, but those do intersect with phases of depression and grief. As I meantioned in a few comments, my fiancee passed away in 2016. I feel the extreme loneliness was quite a part of those sad feelings. They still have left their scar on me and there are times I still experience them. Achievements in life, meeting celebrities and opportunities for a better life just appearing out of nowhere help in this though. Now the feelings of loneliness and even a subtle sign of envy, grief or depression appear for a very brief time, but I easily remember how much I have achieved and look at my pictures with some of my country's greatest celebrities. And that's how I realize there is no reason to give any grim thoughts a free will, because I have every reason to be happy and motivated to improve.

From my experience, I believe that over a period of time, constantly being lonely is not just how you feel, it’s what you have become.

It seems to me that our society now is the loneliest it’s ever been, so if you feel lonely it’s okay you aren’t weird or unlovable at all, so so many people feel the same way! It isn’t hopeless either, keep learning and trying I promise you are absolutely lovable. 💕

I have felt every single sign mentioned in this video, I have been doing and feeling all the things mentioned and just can't help myself, I just don't know what to do, I have been experiencing extreme loneliness and I am aware of it but don't know how to deal with it, I have anxiety and just don't interact with the outside world because I just can't and don't know how to, I'm kinda scared of all of this because I know it is happening.....

Oh crap, I can relate to ALL of them. Thanks to therapy and medication I am finally be by myself and not medicate myself with substances or relations that don't really stick or make any sense. My emotions came down from being over or under to a medium range. When I get angry I don't go into a fit when I'm sad I don't sleep hours during the day plus nights etc. I still am comforting myself with food tho and have gained over 25 kg within a year and that was despite excercising and walking. But I guess I'm moving in the right direction. I know there is no way in hell I could have reached this point in my life without professional help and meds. And I am coming from emotional neglect as a child, childhood depression, addiction and toxic relationships throughout my life. Thank you. Thank you for what you do here on this channel because it shows me what a long way I already have gone through and helps me appreciate myself.

Though I very much enjoy my own company, I still can't help but feel empty inside. I can relate to half of the things listed here, yet it's such a confusing feeling to be self-sufficient and have a sense of independence but at the same time feel as if no one cares about my wellbeing. As of lately I try to constantly convince myself i can make it through but it's so hard to go through difficult times without having someone to talk to. I overall just feel lost and it's kind of a relief that I may not be the only one who feels this way.

One of this channel's very best videos. As an autistic individual with a huge struggle with loneliness, I totally relate to this video. Although I love being alone to be with my own thoughts, I would love to overcome this feeling that has polluting my mind for years. Really beautiful video! Well done!

"Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self."- May Sarton

I used to be lonely until I learned to be my own best friend. ❤️

Whew! After watching this channel, I have concluded that I am perfectly happy and there is nothing wrong with me!

Yo espero que todos los que sientan esto lo logren superar y que realmente sean felices ❤️

Thank you for this. I wasn't sure if I was depressed or lonely... looks like it's option B. Mine is manifesting as the emotional rollercoaster mostly.

It's better to be alone than to be feel powerless in someone world...😌

Wow. I relate to almost, if not all of these. I haven't really been able to understand how I'm feeling lately. But I do know I have been feeling envious/ jealous of my friends a lot recently. After seeing this, I think I might understand a little clearer. I've been feeling horrible for the way I've thought about my friends, and my mood swings haven't really helped that. But I'm so grateful that I'm not alone in this. It makes things a little bit easier :)

Sadly, loneliness is something many of us can relate with, and this is not good. Sometimes, we still feel lonely even in the midst of people we know. I think until we find someone who really understands us and matches our every energy, that feeling of loneliness might just continue to be there.

every time I watch your videos, i learn more about myself. thank you

this hit too close to home especially when i literally cried watching this video..

One time my dad took my two siblings and me to the local park because of some event going on. Sitting on the grass, seeing how everyone in town knew each other, and me who barely knows anyone, that was the loneliest I ever felt

I guess I’m mildly or moderately lonely and I didn’t know it. I used to have tons of friends and I backed away of my own choice because my friends were toxic but it’s still hard because I have a strong need for socializing. I guess I need to make some new friends

For the majority of my childhood I felt all of these at once for very long periods of time. I haven’t gotten much better in terms of coping mechanisms or making friends, but at least now I only feel a couple of these symptoms currently instead of all of them

this came up exactly when I needed it. The most signs i've gotten ever since i subscribed to this channel.

Dealing with the challenge of everyday life is what I have come to accept. I focus on improving myself and my attitude towards situations I can change and dismiss those I cannot change. When I have a problem I seek counsel and come up with a plan for a solution and how to handle similar situations in the future. I have my days and take solace in the fact they will pass--and they do. Well, that is it for now-- keep churning out this useful info.

It’s like the universe knows I need to confront my loneliness by this video 😅

I can relate to those signs. Guess i am struggling with extreme loneliness. 1.I can relate a lot with materialism, to the point i find myslef overindulge or wanting to have a lot of material things i desire..deep inside i know being materialistic isn't me. But i dunno why i feel it's a better distraction for me. Cuz it is hard maintaining friendship at late 20s. People become busier and i guess friendship is no longer relevant on this marriage and family making age. 2. I recently limit myself of using social media. Somehow i feel lonelier, becuse when i tried talking with people, a lot of them were busy with their phones. Am i a boring person or maybe unimportant? Can i have your stories? Anything istead of ignoring me with your social media? 3. I struggle a lot with envy, growing up i don't make a lot of friends and i alwayas envy thos kids at school having their photos together with their friends, S.O, or having fun. But what is the point of that? This world full of temporary people? Yet i keep trying to find such friendship. I frel stupid. I was part of 'that community' where its never legal in my country. Thinking about marriage and dating makes me me even lonely...especially speslnding my time with my friends where they can freely kiss and being romantic without a lot of judgment. I wish i can find love, but at the same time i begin to believe i will never find a love until i die, no matter how hard i try to be 'normal'. I truly envy the country with those stuff ate legal, and envy 'normal' people who can freely love and start a family without being morally hated by society. 4. I can relate to this... I have unhealthy eating and sleeping habits, i can only blame it to my brain. I think a lot and anxious makes me forget to it or even sleep like 2-3 hours a day. Sometimes i sleep a lot. Thinking about something unachievable, regrets, and worry about future is killing me. 5. Out of control emotion? I am not sure, there is no way a man can be such a thing right? But i have to admit when i am feel lonely i would cry in sleep or angry when i am alone in my bedroom. It is better to let go my emotion alone than to be laugh at expressing what i've struggled with. I did tell my problems to someone, but i dunno why... I feel like i need someone to be with me, not just being there... But i learned that the only people who can deal with this is myself. We're born alone, and die alone. There is no use thinking about it, i feel weak when i think i always need someone. 6. I can relate a lot of thr last point. Sometimes i didn't realize, i always ask my brother to accompany me to cook on the kitchen, or there's sometimes i ask random people to eat with me at random restaurant...someone i don't really know. I feel like i wanna hear their stories. I am introvert. But if i have to go to public places, the more lonely i feel. I feel restless and cannot talk about something deep and meaningful in public places. I absolutely love being alone, but when there's someone or group of people beside me, i always expect their company, wanna talk and have fun with them. But people always wanna do something of their self interest, myself included, when their self interest is not met, the meaninglessness and lonely strikes. Maybe the best way to deal with loneliness is just stop 'wanting' Okay, enough with this rambling, sorry for my english and thank you for reading.

The video is very relatable. Loneliness is something I know too well, but watching this video makes me wonder about things I can do to overcome it. Thank you so much for sharing. I love your videos btw.

The cat really made this video so great. please add it more often!

I always knew I was a lonely but didn’t want myself admitting it bc I was embarrassed. But after watching this video, I found out that I was able to relate to each of the reasons/ symptoms, etc. It’s hard knowing that I have to try to get along with everyone and control my emotions as well. But I don’t wanna talk about that here. So thank you for making this video!! New subscriber here ❤

I don't know if you've done this but could you make a video about fake friends(signs that you have fake friends or something similar?)I loved your video as always!!!❤❤❤

I feel some days, like I'm not worth anything or anyone loves me.. i know that's not true, but it's hard to think it's true sometimes.

It can feel very challenging to feel lonely. This description is accurate . I think a spark of inspiration is in the opening of this video , that quotes the wisdom of using loneliness in a constructive way . Often we do need to deconstruct beliefs , expectations , conditioning and ideals to reach a place where preconceived cliches of loneliness aren’t playing on repeat . We CAN stop that mind chatter , be aware and simply be in the moment ~ where peace always exists . I’m talking as someone who often goes down that , ‘ I’m lonely ‘ road ~ only to wake up at the ‘ I’m really blessed , fortunate & grateful ‘ turn off ~ where being with me isn’t bad and in fact is ultimately the reality I seek . Because sometimes , unfortunately , other people can violate , abuse , steal and disrupt your inner peace . Yet people can also be our most rewarding reasons for connection . So there’s pros and cons to every situation . Try to focus on the pros of being with yourself , choose it , if it feels like you don’t have a choice . But there’s no denying that I often , in this modern world where often we can be isolated and ‘ independent ‘ , that our ancient urges and needs for companionship , simply aren’t been met .

I've been so lonely for so long now it just seems normal now. 😪.

That's nice and all. Bur what do I do against it? 🤔 Loneliness is so hard to change. 😖 And paradoxically, you even scare other people away if you are "too needy".

not that long ago, i have been feeling very emotional and i was feeling, that i am not enough, and i should do better. But now im way better. i can finally enjoy the little things in my life. I am not completly ok, but i am working on it. Your videos helped me realize those things and get better, so thank you.❤❤

I didn't need to hear this cause I already know im very much so far past the line of extreme loneliness. But I'm glad it was addressed and I really feel like I'm seen at least to a point when I watch this channel. Thank you Psych2go

Ah this video just explained my boyfriend in just 5 minutes. Thank you. I'll be strong for him. He has a lot of trauma and anxiety but he's the sweetest person I've ever met. He's soft hearted but guarded at the same time. When I approached him, it was so hard to just talk to him. He would shut me out and he would be cold hearted to me. There were few times I thought about giving up on him and just leaving him alone. But I didn't because he reminded me of someone else, my dead best friend who had anxiety and I gave up on her right before she died. I mean, how was I supposed to know she was going to die? After that I had so many regrets and I suppose I saw him as something that could forgive me for my sins. But I ended up falling in love with him. Although most of the time it feels like I'm the boyfriend in this relationship, I don't mind. We've been together for six years now and I love him more than anything else in the world.

I think for me it kind of is an in between thing. I do suffer a bit from loneliness, probably being a bit more alone than by choice, but not so much so that I'm really made mentally uncomfortable by it, as I have a pretty strong tendency to want to hide out alone at home as it is already. So part of me wants to be social, and the other part of me finds it exhausting, increasingly so as I grow older, and have less issues with just being on my own, not having the energy to be social anymore though I do miss the interaction.

AWESOME VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH

I feel so lonely that my emotions are already numb. It still hurts when I remember how happy I used to be.

I’ve recently been depressed a whole bunch lately or is that just teenager depression? But this content makes my day ❤

Idk if ya guys are going through my google searches or looking through my heart but I'm feeling this exact sheets.....!!!!!! And the out of control of my own f-ing emotions are more than frustrating!!!!

This has been my life for almost a decade.

Being alone and feeling lonely are two completely different things.

I love how he can never disappoints us with his content ❤️

Thanks a lot for the content!

Great video! Love the kitty

I live alone with my dog since over 3 years, and work remotely from home. I was diagnosed with depression in January. Currently I am after break-up, and found a huge hunger for travels. When I am at home alone with my dog, my depression symptoms are back after a while. But maybe it’s just hunger for company, meeting people, and some adventure… I think usually I am fine and even long for time on my own, but it’s just too much… because in my previous relation I was lonely, too. I was co considering burn out, and depression, and started to self-analyze obssesively, and got into buying a lot of things. Thank you for the video P2G ❤ Sending hugs to all lonely souls

This is very interesting, I didn't understand why I was suffering from many of these. I do have depression and anxiety, so suffering from loneliness as triggering the problem I've been having and making my mental health issues worse

I've related to all of these throughout my life. Thankfully I realized something was wrong and got help.

Am always lonely,no friends no close relatives and am the scapegoat and so I mostly listen to SAD SONGS,HATE SONGS AND SUICIDE SONGS cause these songs explain exactly how I feel.

Can't believe this video came 4 days ago, when I was in the grip of loneliness (which I dare say I still am). I relate to every one of the signs except perhaps social media use (I’m not on social media at all and, strangely, I seem to have zero inclination to become a part of it, even when I’m so lonely). I have currently just begun my first semester at my master’s course in a new country. I actually have many people around me, people from my own country, and sometimes it feels weird that I seem to feel lonely in spite of this, but the truth is I don't seem to vibe with any of them. It doesn’t help, either, that I kind of suck at small talk, and instead seem to crave long, deep, intellectual/analytical (but not necessarily academic) talk. I guess I’m just one of those people who seems to crave for “my” kind of company (whatever that is!). Lord knows when I’ll find it, if at all (yeah, now I’ve turned pessimistic, too). I've actually been trying to find a counselor because I thought I was depressed (I already have anxiety issues, so I thought this whole thing about feeling lonely even with company around me stemmed from that). Can't thank you enough, Psych2Go, for this timely upload! ☺️

I remember not too long ago where i had no one to talk too or keep me accompanied nor listen to me and i had such a restless feeling, sleeping all day crying almost all of the time using my phone as soon as i got up till i go to bed, not being able to keep up with my school assignments and got yelled at by my teacher and I just burst into tears explaining to her how hard it was for me which was the first time in a long while i talked to someone how i felt and my teacher understood how i felt and i just felt uplifted in someway and whenever i talked about how i was going i just started to feel like tears were about to flow from my eyes and you can hear it in my voice i was so overwhelmed with my emotions. I had no control of them and whenever i saw a friend group i never envied them i always wished i was like them and i had no enjoyment in things and still do but less now and my love my mealistric things has increased greatly but now my mental health is better and i do have a mental illness but its way better now and i have friends now and i feel loved and appreciatted i learnt to love myself and to be me and ive been using any electronic device barely i still sleep most of the time and ive been keeping up with my assignments

it helps me so much when i finally see something that other people understand

Wow. Idk why but this video made me cry because I really didn't noticed how lonely I really am.

I just realized lately that I'm not only extremely lonely, but also that I'm very frustrated and angry that my feelings are not taken seriously. And that it's been this way for years. Everything on this list applies except for envy and avoiding alone time. I developed a habit of maladaptive daydreaming when I was 6, and also started acting up in kindergarten. I suspect now that loneliness is the reason why. I do remember that I had a best friend at that time who later moved away, though I don't know if that's what caused all this.

i am right now recovering from this. it stems from when one of my closest friend got her new job. she went from someone who was there for me 24/7 to almost-completely absent. she was my whole world. it felt like losing something precious in life, like losing a body part. we don't have time for each other anymore. it began to get better when i started to reconnect with my other friends. then i realized i'm not completely lonely. after that, i reconnected with myself. it took a while to realize that my happiness relied way too much on her. now i'm happy with myself now and if she's finally back, that would be a bonus.

I love the videos they put💗

Glad to know I check all these boxes

I graduated from CSU back in December and left my college town back in July for my 7-week internship that ended almost a week ago. My 24th birthday was two days ago and I'm in this transition phase right now where I'm not entirely sure what my plans are going to be for the rest of the year, and I don't feel like I've made as many new friends at my new place as I should. It has been depressing and confusing at random points throughout my week, but going to University taught me that I'm happier with being alone than being around toxic people that make me feel worse and that I make my best friends and relationships when I'm not actively pursuing it. I just need to keep at it with achieving my goals and along the way the right people with find me instead of the other way around

This touched my heart. Lately, I've felt lonely and a part of me felt like I should learn to open up to people I barely meet anymore, even though that would mean overcoming my waning trust in others. Maybe I should talk to someone about this.

I had social media addiction and out of control emotions sometimes and lately it's getting worse. At first I used to have insomnia and used to skip meals but now it's the opposite I am oversleeping most of the time. I use this as a way to distract myself. And being alone with myself sometimes seems peaceful for me but sometimes I just can't handle my thoughts....

Being alone is NOT the same thing as being lonely. I’m pretty much an introvert and enjoy my own company much of the time-possibly because I had so little time to myself growing up where, as the oldest of 5 kids I was expected to watch my 3 youngest sibs and be at my mom’s beck and call at all times. In college I had several roommates so again I rarely had quiet and time to be by myself. That changed after college while I still had roommates but didn’t have to share a room with anyone else. Having been a Covid Longhauler for 2 1/2 years has been lonely at times just because the vast majority of people where I live have refused to do their their part to make going out in public for immune compromised safe. Having had Covid 3 times, contracting it on the rare times I have chosen to go group activities (masked) it now feels like “out of sight, out of mind”. The other members of my Longhauler support group also feel this way. It does feel like that for all intents and purposes we no longer exist to neighbors, church congregations and people that we used to work with before we got sick. It is what it is.🥴

Been struggling with fear of abandonment and coping with loneliness for the better parts of my life. I'm over 30 now and I just recently broke up with my girlfriend of several years and those feelings have been extremely prevalent lately. I'm showing all of these signs a whole lot recently. Been buying stuff, I'm back on social media after years of absence, envious of all my friends and their stable relationships, keeping busy, getting emotional dips every now and then and so on. Only positive thing is that "keeping busy" involves being in the gym and actually working on myself. I'm trying my best to be content with myself, by myself, but right now it's hella difficult.

I’ve experienced being socially outcasted at my workplace since about 6 months ago. I accustomed to be alone by default, but now things aren’t the same anymore. It’s so confusing and makes me sad 😢

I've had an emotional outburst inside of the store the other day the medicine that they had gave me I was in my lil feelings. So anyways God bless you big sis and you're beautiful family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 keep up the videos about mental health 🎚️🔥🙌🕊️

There's been a few times this past week at work where I'm working and I start getting emotional fighting the tears because I've been feeling so lonely and a part of me wants someone's support, so the emotions come out more when I'm around others, but I never go through with letting them see it because it's too vulnerable with people I dont think would understand and it feels inappropriate when we are trying to work. I have no one outside of work to turn to for support. I'm pretty resilient and try to stay confident but it's hard when so many people seem to leave you or not care about you. I keep telling myself that I am worthy but my voice is starting to lose it's power with all this external, "evidence" saying I'm not worthy. Most people have someone that can reassure and validate them. I don't.

I tired to get one of my friends to hold me while I cried. They thought it was really weird. But I grew up being raped abused beatin all I want is just a hug. This feeling HAS DESTROYED MY RELATIONSHIPS.

I have been CRYING everyday. And at the most simple things.

Embracing the solitude/loneliness

6.5/7 its crazy how many of these hit so close to home.

I relate to mostly the social media addiction. I haven’t been jealous of anyone lately, but there have been times where I have gotten jealous of people who have a lot of friends. I sometimes feel extremely lonely, but sometimes I don’t. It depends on the day really.

Please do more videos suggesting tips to reduce these kinds of issues

you just have to keep pushing and you'll be fine, you will enjoy being alone while still ready for social life. And psych2go is right i have felt all of that but it's just one of the progress for loving yourself more at least for me

Our lookout on life and how we cope is I think in most part experiences growing up. Our family experience.

About number 6: I personally have the opposite problem, I have a little problem of showing any emotion except quite often rage or irritation. I can even tell the reason, so when I was younger I was the bullying target it held on until 7th class and that is about the time when i began to "build a wall" around my emotions in order to stop them from harming me, it eventually worked but at a high cost as mentioned in this comment

The cat is so cutely drawn! 😍

I was awake since 2am and I saw this notification and I clicked on it

These are so relatable with me

I just want someone. I dont care if its romantic or not, i just need someone to hold me and someone to talk to. I am extremely lonely and relate to all the signs but i just cant find anyone

i have most of the points shown in this video. at this point i can't help it because i prefer to be lonely because it's difficult for me to socialize with people since everyone is different and difficult to argue and deal with, so nowadays i try to avoid socializing as best as possible. after all it's best to be alone than with bad company.

I’ve always been lonely. Because it has kept up for so long, I just feel empty whenever it hits hard. Plus I have ADHD, so when the boredom part of loneliness hits, it hits hard and spirals. It doesn’t help that I live out of town, far away from that one friend I have.

i relate to all of these especially the last one. I kept trying to find anything that can "occupy" my mind; looking for games to play, movies to watch, and even talking to friends to the point where I'm just spewing nonsense to them. Being alone with my thoughts will just induce negative emotions, feelings, and past traumas.

This new artstyle is so adorable TvT I think I match the signs 1-5 but irdt I’m “extremely” lonely…
