It’s social media, reassurance seeking behavior has led to a society of self-absorbed humans. No one genuinely cares about how anyone else is actually doing. I’m focusing on finding real people by staying genuine and vulnerable with who I feels deserves it. Work helps that’s the only place I socialize in person

I feel you bro. I’m going through a break up and experiencing life alone for the first time in 7 years and it’s terrifying. It also takes a lot of effort to be social, connect with people, and form a social circle. Stay strong 💪

Loneliness it's a serious problem indeed and it's not in the US only. I live in the US now but before I lived in my own country, and I've always felt lonely. The lack of a meaningful relationship, sincere friendship and truthful in person connections have converted us in depressive lonely people. You touched the aspects of feeling lonely so well and that is sad that we cannot find a way to fix it or cure it like we've done with other inconveniences or illnesses in our lives. I wish you to put an end to your loneliness ASAP and the same to the rest of us ❤

What’s up man, me and my friend are in college, we just drove through Mcdonalds and sat in a parking lot and ate our food while we watched this video in the car. You’re quite charismatic and wise, keep up the videos bro!

I appreciate your realness in this video. I've been feeling very disconnected to myself and lonely. Tuning into this video helped me feel less alone in these struggles.

I’ve just learned to let go of all attachments. Attachments to people places and things. I found a deep appreciation for anything I connect to bc I no longer hold on to them. The breeze, no matter how much I love it, I can’t hold on to it. The same with people. If they come and stay freely they can go freely too. I have my family and just two friends that I talk to every once in a while. But all I do is read, and watch informative things and just embrace the loneliness. I can’t do anything about my loneliness. It’s there. I’ve just made friends with it.

I feel you. Always had enough friends my whole life, but the older I’ve gotten (I’m 28 now) I become more introverted, home-bodied, and lowkey reclusive. I have one close friend in the town I live in and I’ve felt completely fine with that amount of interaction, but he’s gonna be moving soon, and suddenly I realized that once he leaves I’ll have no friends where I live, and I’m pretty scared for when that comes. It’s hard too cause I long for close friendships which are much harder to come by than friends you simply have fun with. Anyways- all that to say, I sort of feel your pain, and I hope you find some people to connect with soon. Thanks for sharing, much love.

man I needed to hear this, your voice is so calming too

This resonates with me so much. It’s tough to find the effort and resilience to throw yourself into something new. 90% of my socialization comes from my visits to the dog park. They’re mostly 60+ years old, but it’s better than nothing.

i feel like a big part of the problem is not only that everyone is online, but that there's too much out there to consume because of the internet. too many things to be interested in. people grew up with different things around them and aren't in touch with those people anymore. so you try to find people who grew up with the same experiences online or at work. so many people are obsessed with outward identity, tattoos, pronouns, hair colors, trying to find a purpose in their look. it's not that we don't have interests, it's that everyone has the same few big interests with pop culture, and then there's the divide into 40000 niche fandoms and hobbies. nobody understands your references, nobody cares to understand them, because it doesn't feel nostalgic. they wanna live in a bubble of familiarity and no one feels familiar

i relate well with everything you said, what i realized is that it’s possible to improve and feel less lonely i really just had to try and help myself, make steps to get there. Keep your head up ❤

I use to feel this way but i actually embrace it now. I use to have what i thought were good friends but when the chips were down, i didn't see them for dust. It made me realise that its better to be alone than be around most people. Its very difficult to find people who are vibrating at the same frequency. I actually really like being alone now and i dont crave or desire anything now, its all gone very buddhist for me in that respect.

Hey don’t worry bro I’m lonely too but honestly being lonely is the best because you grow as a person, I hope you feel less lonely day by day, I have times where I feel lonely even right now but I just keep my head up man

I just found ur channel and I definitely understand what u mean, especially when I traveled for work overnight. It’s sometimes even kind of mind numbing, and all I can hope for is u find ur way through and experience different feelings🖤

Lack of third places is definitely playing a part. Sometimes podcasts can make me feel like I’m having adult conversation in a pinch. Online groups are usually more accessible for myself. Check out groups at the library, book clubs, trivia nights.

I really love your channel. I sympathize alot with everything youre saying. wishing you so much good and happiness

I always love your videos and hearing you ramble thank you 💟

real bro, its so difficult to connect with others these days

I think this world is heading in a direction where being lonely is going to be better than having a “relationship” for the fact that people will continue to become more robot like, emotionless, careless, and just so unauthentic that it’ll be emotionally draining

I just feel a disconnect from people in general. I’ve felt this for a few years now and even the people who I do socialize with seem to be emotionally distant. Most of my experiences with people in the workplace have been negative and I wonder if there’s a lot of people who are experiencing the same. I’ve also been finding it hard to make a connection with people I’ve just met and to start and maintain a friendship. I think there’s some things I can do on my end to help but it’s a two way street

Im 40 and i broke up with my son's mother at 27. I been alone since that time. Never wanted to date or meet women. I took up fishing. Im lonely but i rather be that then be in a toxic relationship or drama filled life. Fishing gives me a sense of peace from my job. Downside is im very much not into conversation. I dont enjoy being around people on my days off or while i get off work. When im fishing the older men strike up conversations i get upset and give short replies. I like being away from everyone and everything. Long drives in the country. Fishing. Camping. Helping my uncle on their ranch.

We have the same issue in Ireland and it's only getting worse

Good to you for being open and honest bro. Always remember that your feelings matter. Keep your head up 💯

You seem like a very warm genuine human being :) I feel you a lot and I hope you’ll find the environment which is right for you. I can only say for myself that when trusting my gut and going to a place where I feel attracted to naturally often leads to pleasant experiences ☀️ library, nature, farming, movie-lovers clubs etc. nothing but the best :)

Relating back to what you said about societal loneliness; i think the amount people are obligated to work in order to live they dont have time to develop meaningful relationships, it seems like so many capitalist systems along with social media that lead to loneliness. Youre not alone brother, lonely gang stay strong haha

Hey man I really appreciate this video, I'm going through a tough time right now myself with loneliness. See, I live in a very small ctown with a school that only has about 300 people. I'm also in the higher classes so all of my classes have essentially the same four people all day everyday. I don't see them as people I would hang out with after school hours, and all my old friends travel to another school to learn a trade. Those guys I've kind of lost contact with and have just kind of moved on in a way. I'm just kinda stuck right now, and my anxiety I feel is going to hold me back in college. I'm very scared of the future right now and I feel very broken off from my own feelings right now. Thank you for giving me a space to vent and I hope you solve your problem. Best of luck to you.

I’ve been feeling this lately. Thank you

Asmr helps me cope w it.

I agree with everything you said and it’s what I’ve been saying to people for a long time now. Communication is a serious problem. I noticed my abilities starting to take a turn about 20 years ago when all this technology was relatively new, but no one could understand my opinions of it at the time. I think it’s obvious now that technology is only going to make mental health problems worse if we don’t address the situation, but I don’t know how as it’s gone too far.

Hey man, you ever wanna just talk or get something off your chest you got a random online stranger here offering an open ear. No big deal but the offers there, i hope that doesn’t seem creepy 😂 get in touch if you want ✌🏼

Im here with you man! Dont know you personally but I Love You❤️!

I love these talking vids

Wish you the best bro

thank you for this Im lonely too Im 13 and people just don't listen to me even when Im in front of them talking I am invisible.

My level of lonliness hits me after I get home from work. It's a collage of different things that have affected me mentally, and I guess it catches up to me once I wind down and get into my thoughts. One of the main reasons I left OTR driving because it was very difficult to deal with these things after working for eleven hours and then having to essentially still reside at work because I had to sleep on the truck. However, even with going local, the grass isn't greener on the other side. Still, it's good to go home after work and sleep in my own bed. It's tough because whether you're an OTR or local driver, human interaction can be little to none. I think I maybe just need to find more time to make myself happy. Maybe that's the issue. I'm not sure. But I still feel your pain nevertheless. People nowadays are not nice. And I unfortunately do not mesh well within the new confines of what is considered to be the social norm. I don't know. Maybe something is wrong with me?

Social media Internet porn Entertainment media (KZfaq, video games) Consumerism Capitalism It's a big swirling mess of those 5 variables

Way harder to connect with people on a deeper level in the age of social media.

If you can't love yourself you can't love someone else, It's better to have a small circle of close friends than a large circle of acquaintances.

Hold on Be strong

hey man I would suggest just going on the run, even if you only run for 5 minutes then you will feel better than staying in. Loneliness is tough, I'm sorry you're struggling. Youve got this, perhaps try to join some in person club

Have you ever thought about doing volunteer work? It's a good way to help other people who are struggling plus you may make friends with some of the other volunteers.

I love how open you are it takes a lot to do that nowadays my greatest advice my friend to Find God I’m telling you Jesus can cure everything just pray and believe and he’ll comfort you ❤️

me too man I feel so fucking lonely

To be honest I just focused on God. Cuz 2020 changed alot of circumstances. Once I got out of college, everybody wanted to just work and do nothing else. I have a small circle so im happy about that. But yeah people i used to be with act like they dont want to do anything.

I feel so lonely too

Congratulations, 2.02k subscribers; great job with your topic choices. People think they have friends on Facebook, Instagram, etc...they are just a black hole with no real interactions. Join a chorus, book club, church, whatever you got and get going...

Honestly bro you only need yourself in this cruel world but god always has a plan for you. The people that you will meet and stick and stay will be your real ones. Start gaming too you can always talk to people

I would love to be your friend .I definitely know how you feel ❤

I’d take being lonely over being in an abusive relationship 100x over

We all have a big gaping hole inside that can only be filled with God. Jesus is real. The power of the Holy Spirit is real. And I have felt him and experienced His presence, power and love. He said in His Word, “you will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with your whole heart”. The grief I feel and felt from losing my parents, no one and nothing could help take it away. No earthly thing or person. But He comforts me and gives me strength to get through another day. And he gives me hope I will see them again. We are not meant to go through this life without Him. I sincerely don’t understand how anyone does. I pray and wish everyone would be saved. But due to free will of theirs, sadly that won’t happen.😢

Hii!

Aye bro I’ve been lonely and I feel lonely all the time. Let me know what you need or anyone needs in the comments. If anyone see this comment then you’re always going to be worthy of living. Y’all stay safe and stay happy

Get a dog bro trust

Learn to love your own company.

Hihi

Get off social media for one month. You wont even want it back. You'll feel better.

I was the same at 24-25. Best advice I have is look into a wife overseas. I KNOW this sounds totally crazy, but meeting my wife in China totally changed my life. This American system of social media and casual dating is destroying people’s lives. You need someone that you can count on and someone to support you as a human being. Seriously try a pen pal site or book a trip to another country. I kinda figured this was the situation for you as compared to your older videos. This drive back and forth to work is killing you dude. People on your KZfaq career about you. But it’s obvious you need someone else in your life to give you what you are missing. It’s very brave you spoke about this on screen and I believe in you and know things can improve. Seriously, try it out. Try to meet someone from Asia, it’s an absolute game changer and on average they are more committed and loving then ANYONE I have met in the USA.

You should get into boxing or some kind of mix martial arts
