I feel less lonely while watching your videos

Loneliness is more a concern now then ever before due to the stay at home orders.

As a millennial, most people I know are addicted to their phone screens, so texting and messaging them in social media is the best way to get their attention. Limiting screen time makes sense when there is an abundance of other ways to connect, but in this pandemic and social distancing enforced, it's hard to put the phone down. Other than reading brick and mortar books, exercising, meditating and doing household chores, every other way of keeping myself busy requires my phone...

I never comment But this is so on point and helpful. Thank you. You're awesome.

I feel my loneliest when I'm with other people. Not sure how to fix it. I can't relate to most people, I find small talk and talking about people so draining.

Your book" Captivate " is such an awesome treasure, I have already read 150 pages, and am enjoying those lovely aha moment whenever am sharing some clues with my buddies 💞, Your book is superb. And I can't wait to read your next book. Love ❤️

You have been a big help to my life and the biggest insane where drinking , also social media deleted the clutter and watch my times on there. Now I just watch lectures about everything and work on writing :)

I love your videos and I got my husband listening to them also. Very enjoyable, informative and useful! Thank you so much!

Very relatable. Thank you.

Thanks a lot Vanessa !! En España te admiramos 👍

Thank you for this Vanessa. 👍🏽

Thank you very much for this video ❤️

all good info here, and yet...... lets hope lockdown ends soon. Even having a coffee somewhere on my own is enough to stave off the loneliness, and with everything closed down and very cold wet weather, even sitting on a park bench isn't an option just now. I've taken so much for granted. But maybe that's the lesson

Vanessa I just love❤ how passionate you are about what you do. I just like the way you understand people like us because you yourself have been through all this like you say 'recovering social awkward' couldn't relate any more. I wish all love and strength to you, keep up the good work! We all love you♥. Ykw? one of my future goals is to meet you in person and tell you how incredible you are.💯

Within 10 seconds I started crying. I don't know why.

This video is awesome! Thanks, Vanessa!

I'm alone 99.8% of the day, every day. I go days where no one speaks to me, so my loneliness is literal aloneness, it wears you down after awhile, being rejected after trying to date, trying to make friends to no avail. I've tried joining activity groups, etc. I'm finally getting to travel but I'm doing it alone n its a bummer but i didn't want to miss out my whole life.

wow i’m already on step 9

Loneliness is always been a friend of me ... (Cit.)

Just what I needed. It’s like you read my mind lol

Very timely video. Plus you speak so beautifully! I am in love with your voice.

I already knew you had the video about loneliness. I was not wrong. You mentioned you felt lonely while in college during your transition- I am in this place . I am in college and I am in transition .

THANK YOU!!!!!

Love this! Thanks Vanessa ❤️

Thank you for this video, answered a few questions I had

Thank you so much ❤️😍😍

Dating apps do not build courage and confidence.

I really needed to hear this 🙏 thank you

But I don't want to enjoy being lonely, Vanessa! 😔 I love reading and the more I read, the more reluctant I become to be in a relationship!

I’m currently a college student and I have hardly any friends. Whenever I see people with their friends, usually several times a day, I think to myself, why can’t that be me? I have talked to some new people this year, yet I don’t feel like I’ve made any genuine connections with people. How do I get up to the point of always having friends around doing fun stuff all the time and study together and stuff like that? It’s been causing a good deal of stress and slight depression and Anxiety. Thanks.

thanks, good video

This vid was really helpful. Thanks for sharing

For some of us who still remember how to make friends and socialize the proper way, this forced isolationism is killing it and killing all the mood with it ggrrr

The photographs on the wall 🤎🤎

Alot of this stuff is hard to understand due to that I'm a cancer survivor and I was nothing but alone on my journey

Please stop calling yourself awkward! Will appreciate more details on enjoying company with self. Will talk more if you responded.

I use art to create some quality and unique presents to my unqiue friends. It also help me to reduce loneliness.

I’m beginning to think after 7 years of being alone with no friends or family around, I might be an alcoholic wah wah, tough changes ahead

Let's just stop my loneliness by you coming over n Hanging out 😆😘

Although we did need other people when we were living in caves, we did not need to talk to them. 😱

Vanessa what's your thoughts on Carl Jung and Jordon peterson's work?

Food No Socmed Fear of being left alone in the end Watch online vids...bottle all up emotions ..

what patronising video for anyone who is really feeling lonely.

Hey Buddy ☺️

🌹

I'm so lonely. I feel like I'll never find my soulmate.

I am a orphan my mum passed away 2019 my family is gone so it is lockdown also

Maybe i'm wrong here. But would first step not be to find out if you are lonely or feel lonely? They are worlds apart. I have been very isolatatet my whole life, i learn to live with it, never to have someone to talk to or with. I have seen many videos about loneliness, but not one have talked about feeling alone and being alone. I have never had friends, i do not know what that word mean, ok i have had ADHD my whole life, and maybe that is why i never had a normal life, but being alone was my life, no matter where i treid to go. So what kind of loneliness are talking about?

Loneliness Is Something I Don't Wish For Anyone. Take Me For Example: The Only One That Knows How Lonely I Am Is God & Jesus. Nobody Else. I Have ADHD And Also Autistic (was diagnosed with Asperger's). Even When You're Around Family, You Can Be Really Lonely Especially When You're Not Close With Anyone. You Have Too Many People That Is Autistic That Is Very Lonely, And Also Suicidal. Autistic People Most Of The Time Are Usually Ignored. We Shouldn't Have To Meet Anyone When It Should Be The Opposite. Why Don't Someone Come To Us For Once. Why Don't Someone Come To You, And Say They Care When A Lot Of People Won't Do Anything.

i like it the idea..hey lets get to know 1 each other again..

Hi ! Vanessa I want to talk like Tony stark (character of the movie 'Iron Man') Can you help me please. Love from INDIA

I dont know how yo reach out. I always feel im being annoying. So i just shut in

I don't know the answers to those fill in the blanks questions

Hey any one from India!!!!

Lol, "Put your close friends and colleagues here." What if you have none?

"Successful people can have very little people they rely on" Sure, face to face... but none of them are the ones stocking their grocery store, or delivering their postmates or keeping infrastructure running... we're still entirely dependent on other people, no matter how remote money may allow some of us to live, regardless of our needs for friendship and romance.

♥️♥️♥️🤩🤩🤩🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Why combat loneliness? Loneliness is a boon! It is a great opportunity to eschew all useless talk with others, turn INWARD and investigate "WHO AM I"! Here is an Upanishadic saying: अहमेको नमे कश्चित्, नाहमन्यस्य कस्यचित्। नाहं पश्यामि यस्याहं, तं न पश्यामि यो मम॥ Meaning: "I alone am, No one belongs to me, nor do I belong to any one. I do not see any one, whom I belong to, nor do I see any one who is mine"!

R u the twin of Whitney Port of the Hills?? 😊

Good ideas but something missing its all OK I too can read you

Answer for all these questions: KZfaq

Your intros are too long

Had to turned it off.....can't stomach the evolution nonsense.

I used to be okay with just me and my husband's company. However, I met this wonderful woman whom i share almost likes and dislikes. I decided to choose her as my bff. We did things together and such. Everything was going well but in an instant, she had to move and to both of us it was too fast, we didn't even blinked and now it's been a month and I am trying really hard not to show that loneliness emotion as I know she is lonely herself too and don't want her to feel bad cuz i feel bad. 🥲🥲
