I'm PhD candidate, 28year old and still jobless. My friends have job, married, kids and beautiful family. *This is how we call loneliness in real life.* Those who relates me can understand.

As a 16 yr old i feel so lonely and I can't express my feelings to anyone sometimes i feel too depressed 😢😢 no body wants to know what I think they just want to know about by exam results even my parents also can't understand my feelings and i don't have good friends also to deal with this loneliness

It's not the loneliness that hurts the most It's the genuine lack of connection within people that feels scary That's what it is!!

Being alone is peaceful, but feeling lonely kills. 🥀

Maturity is realising that our parents were not wrong about the phone being the cause of our many problems.

It's not limited to Indians, loneliness is amongst the most dreaded feeling across humanity.

I'm a 18 year old girl who was going through loneliness at the age of 12 to 15 because of not having quality emotional connection with anybody but in 2020 i start to focus on myself and build myself for not be emotionally depended on someone, not comparing my life with others because i believe everybody have their own path in life, i also read many self improvement books and just going like that. Now I'm more happy to have my own company, i give quality time to myself before to anyone else i have also gain many skills like cooking, gaming, drawing, painting, workout, writing story, 3d animation and many more.

I am a 17yo NEET aspirant I can totally agree to Mohak sir's point mentioned in 2:48. I think that my reason for lonliness is bcz of poor quality of relation among my circle. Beleive me I have ample no. of friends but I was suffering from lonliness badly a few months ago and I still wonder why. And nowadays as well I feel alone

*Loneliness* hits harder than being *single* ...... 💀 💔 (Edit):- Lonely with 743 souls

I am an introvert. But you may think introverts are more comfortable when they are alone. But that's totally different from loneliness, Research suggests that introverts are more likely to struggle with loneliness than non-introverts. Introverts need solitude and peace to recharge themselves. This makes it harder for them to create and sustain social connections.

I moved to Beijing for 2 yrs after complition of my PhD. First 6 months I was extremely lonely and homesick. I watched friend's when I missed my friends and modern family when I missed family. It really helped. In today's fast paced world loneliness is inevitable and we can only help ourselves.

Aajkal ese dost milte hi kha hain...jinse dil ki baate ki ja sake .....😢

"As a 22 year old" Loneliness has followed me my whole life, There is no escape 🙂

As a 24year old, I can't express my feelings and feel very lonely. It's a relief that I am not the only one in this situation.

There’s a difference between being “lonely” & “loneliness” . I may choose to live alone but that doesn’t mean I’m suffering from loneliness

You came alone, you will go alone. When you accept this reality you won't ever feel lonely.

I am a 20 years old college going girl , I don't have many friends and I personally believe that be alone is far more better than hanging out with toxic people

I'm a 22-year-old engineering student and it's really frustrating because I hardly have anyone to share what's going on in my head. I've never really used social media like most people do, so I don't thinks its the only reason behind loneliness among the masses. It seems like in today's age, nobody can escape loneliness. The only way I find solace is when I meditate or think about Ram and Hanuman.

I am an introvert myself. There were many such phases in my life where I felt lonely in spite of having a very supportive and caring family. The people used to understand me moved apart. I have somehow recovered from those past phases of life but sadly my father succumbed to the loneliness. When his children went in different directions, he became lonely. It caused dementia and schizophrenia in him. Later despite of having me by his side, he forgot how to open up. He lost every desire to live anymore. Ultimately his body gave up in spite of not having any serious medical issues. My wife constantly fears about me following the same direction. I regularly try to be assertive in life. Sometime forcefully pulling myself up and start again. Don't know how much difficult it would be in future but all we can do is fight for ourselves.

Well researched video! I went through something worst in my life just before covid. So I developed social anxiety. During covid, I began isolating myself from the toxicity I was facing. I started liking my own company. Then the loneliness started setting in. But there was something worse to come that I hadn't expected. Last year when things started to go back to normal in the society post-covid, I realised I've developed Agoraphobia. I would make plans to go out or travel but cancel at the final minute because I began getting panic attacks. So, loneliness or isolating oneself from the society are only the beginning of many more issues.

We don't hate being alone , we hate feeling alone 💔

It was april 27,1999 when I went abroad for first time on work to Sydney. As a 25 year old , having seen hostel life in IIIT Bombay and worked in Bangalore, it was a new experience. I felt so lonely being abroad , I would cry in my commute every day at least for 4 months. The most terrible time. I have developed phobia for being alone abroad ever since. Loneliness is a very serious issue. Now my daughters (twin) left for college 6 months ago and the same phobia took over. Now I have got adjusted to new life. Life is all about learning and unlearning. Great and eye opening video.

I felt the same in 2019 when I completed my diploma in Mechanical Engineering. All my friends went for Btech, but I was confused and took a year off. It was really a bad period for me. I would pass my time sleeping and freelancing. And then 2020 came, which was even worse. It's better now because I have found meaning. I volunteer regularly with NGOs now that work on Waste Management in the Himalayas. I have a lot of friends there, and when we meet, we are an army of people who have one objective - to clean the beautiful Himalayas. I recommend teenage people or even those in their adulthood to join some NGO and volunteer. You will surely make meaningful friends there with whom you can connect. And yeah, get a Hobby.

If anyone needs someone to talk to , I am always here, you can talk with me.

What sucks is the lack of respect towards hobbies. People severely lack recreational activities and entertainment, and have no concept of doing something “just for the heck of it”. If people stopped trying so hard at life and did things only for their enjoyment a lot of loneliness will subside. They’ll meet and compete with other similar minded individuals and actually start living life. It’s difficult to explain this to parents and other people who’ve just accepted life as it is. They don’t bother to look and see beyond the societal hivemind that India is. They’ll never know true fun, it hurts.

I'm 23, lower middle class guy, you can imagine the level of depression and loneliness by the fact that our family didn't went out ( to enjoy or picnic) from last 15-20 years... And as I'm an adult now i have more things that triggers my depression and my loneliness... Like career, money my dreams... As an introvert since childhood i always suffered from mental health, anxiety, depression... I'm only 23 but feels like I'm 35 and seen lot of things in life...

How contrasting is it that in the time of this social media era , where we are watching thousands of people interacting with hundreds of them still feeling lonely That teaches us the biggest lesson of our life that we don't need thousands and hundreds of people around us we just want 2-4 people with whom we can talk giggle laugh and cry on their shoulders but unfortunately we all are in a herd race to showcase the world 🥺❤️

Whenever you feel lonely don’t look for people but for purpose.

As a psychiatrist i had seen a lot of people students struggling with loneliness They have friends but they aren't buddies, so they feel difficulty in sharing Mental health is still under rated

This is true. Not only Indians , I feel everyone throughout the world is lonely. Why? Because we aren't ready to accept and embrace. Bounded by our insecurities, orthodox perspectives, hatred, doubt for ourselves, We don't come up and support ourselves and others and same happens with us. The very AI, it's scope of information and rationality is increasing and in our case it's increasing. We don't deserve this. Being considerate, compassionate is our human essence. We need to empower the same and learn the new way of life ❤

Absolutely, Bang On. I am studying in USA. I always think I am not having any meaningful conversations and connections with anyone. Whatever conversations I have are mostly about what you did today, what did you watched, all surface level. No deep conversations.

I'm a 21 year old engineering student, and believe me in my class there's a bunch of people who think that they have the authority to insult, humiliate, ignoring those who ask for help and manipulate the important decisions of class according to their comfort , they have nothing to do with rest of the living beings of the same room , they just want to compete mercilessly. As if they already decided that the Most talented, rich and the people who have the max social status can live peacefully , rest can die... Togetherness is a myth People just want competition

I left India 2 years ago, leaving behind all my friends and family. For a solid year, I felt really lonely but I made so many meaningful connections throughout my time here. Now, I can't ever imagine leaving the people I care for behind. My only advice to people who are in the situation I was in is to put yourself out there and be true to yourself.

I'm 23 year old & I do not have any friends. I FEEL SO LONELY. I can relate this video from my heart 🥲🥲

I love it how everyone is sharing their problems.

53% gen z is lonely in india

I was suffering from loneliness back in 2020. For me fortunately covid happened and I went back to my parents. It genuinely helped and I got to know they were also facing same problem. Thanks Mohak for spreading awareness about this.

As an Introvert, I feel energetic whenever I get lonely.😅 I concentrate on my skills, no one to judge me, no one criticize me, I do workout, do programming. I love loneliness.😅

I'm a 25 y/o, MBBS graduate who's been trying to crack MD entrances for the last year and a half from home but hasn't found success. All my friends have gotten seats now, I'm the one who's left behind. In MBBS, I was someone who liked to talk to people and make connections but nobody wanted to befriend me and make me a part of their group. I had only one true friend, who was also my roommate who stood through thick and thin. Nobody has ever come knocking the door at 12 AM to wish me on my birthday, I don't know what birthday feels like. I've been single all my life. I've even confessed to my crush, tried dating apps, nothing ever worked. I'm not so good looking, skinny, not rich. I've felt the need for the physical presence of a partner around me all my life. I have stopped putting efforts now coz I have accepted that no girl will ever find me attractive. I went to gym, go to public library to kill my loneliness. Seeing people working out in pairs and couples studying together worsens my loneliness. *Loneliness has followed me my whole life. There's no escape. I'm god's favourite lonely man.*

I have studied in over 7 schools. Because of my father's transfers hence building friendships were really difficult for me. Initially loneliness was hard. But i enjoy every bit of it. Yes i do have my parents i talk with them made some good friends in college and later on in my school too. Yet i am lonely. Now i enjoy it. It's been really fruitful for me as no one could ever influence me to do wrong things but yes sometimes when i sit alone wondering then i feel the need of talking to someone. Works both ways for me.

I wish mohak could also talk about solitude, there's is a difference between being alone and loneliness. You can enjoy your company by being alone which is also considered as "solitude"...doesn't matter which personality trait you have. You can be extrovert but lonely, introvert but alone/solitude and ambivert but can be both so your personality trait doesn't define anything. So convert your loneliness into your solitude 🔥 and you'll love the changes! *Remember: Jab insaan akela rahna seekh jata hai or usse apni company enjoy karna acha lgta hai toh usse duniya mai kisi ki zaroorat nahi hoti 🔥*

Two years back I lost all of my friends because I saw their true face. Since last two years not even a single day was good for me and my family issues are also there. My dreams are incomplete for which I'm working hard. Hope this phase shall pass soon. Don't feel lonely guys it's just a bad phase of our life we shall pass it.

We are very happy when We see some Indian Have raise topic those very important for society.

'Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I am God's lonely man' - Travis Bickle, Taxi Driver (1976)

I am a JEE aspirant and since I have started preparing for JEE I have encountered loneliness alot. I literally have no one to talk to and I feel so alone during most of the time. I had many friends before COVID but after COVID I don't have any friends and I stopped going to school as well cuz I don't feel same as I used to, I don't even like interacting with anyone there. COVID has change me and my overall personality alot. I don't know what to do and this loneliness is eating me from inside, rotting my inner self. 😔

This is very serious topic no one is taking about it , You are doing great job.

Loneliness isn't the lack of people around us but it's our lack of interest in them.

I'm 35 years old and from my experience, loneliness has been the best part of my life.. Much better than selfish relationships and self serving family members..

Being 23 and Introvert till date.. Being alone and being lonely are two different things..! When I was 17 I use to feel bad coz of my less connections..! But than somehow I started vibing my own time. Today I'm glad that I'm what I am . I'm very productive being alone,less stressed, more happiness. I Love my life in which I have only one friend, which is of opp gender, My bro, My Sis, And my parents. Today I'm traveling solo.. and typing this..! Hope you all are doing good.. nd don't take being alone as a disease. It's the beet feeling if you start living with yourself! Have a good day.🥀

Ab family ke sath dekhne layak movie nahi banti hai..

Thanks a lot mohak for such a lovely video on such a painful yet unseen sufferings we often go through !!

Hats off, Mohak. You have covered every topic precisely. I migrated 6 years ago, and I don't have a single friend, even though I am a working professional in the corporate sector. Especially during festivals, I always feel anxious. I also discussed it with my friends, but they simply replied, 'Yeh sabko hota hai, koi badi baat nahi

I think there's huge difference between loneliness and solitude, though mostly Indians are suffering from loneliness but there are some Indians too who love to enjoy their own company, who are comfortable with themselves instead of having fake toxic relationships with everyone so solitude is good for you but not loneliness!

I have no will power no desire to do anything there is nothing inside anymore 💔 I can feel this 😢

In this country, there is a person every 2 to 3 meters from you, yet there is no one in a kilometer for you.

When Britney Spears said, my loneliness is killing me. I felt it.

Thanks a lot for making this video, a lot of students who come abroad face this issue. Changing from a collectivistic family based society to an individualistic society is very very difficult. The connections here are made very differently and soft skills and hobbies are lacking in Indian students thanks to hectic school and college schedules back in India

It's so easy to say that go out, talk to your neighbours, make new friends. But it usually doesn't work that way. I became friends with an elderly lady who was my neighbour and her son was abroad with his nuclear family and we used to spend a lot of time together going on walks or having tea. I often accompanied her to her doctor visits, helped her with issues on her phone, computer or home appliances, and she shared with me whenever she cooked something special. One fine day she stopped showing up for the walks. I called her and she hastily and angrily cut the call saying she is busy and not to disturb her right now. I continued to go on walks alone, sad and also worried if aunty is in some trouble. After two weeks she showed up at our walking place saying that her son and his family had come to visit and she didn't want to miss any time she could spend with them and now she will keep coming on walks. I felt a bit bad that I was just a filler in her life whom she could easily abandon whenever her own relatives are available for her. Post that I started avoiding her and now we meet less. I still feel bad that she is lonely, but drawing boundaries was important.

First i was alone but after watching this video am lonely 😭😭😭

30 year old here.. Doing well in life, but feel very lonely inside.. Always think something is missing. This is the best awareness video on this channel.❤

Everyone will feel , will agree, but no will stay longer! Nothing just "Deserve Better " ki hype in Every sort of relations

I was in Infosys Bangalore back in 2014 but was feeling homesick. I took a tough step to come back to my hometown Indore and started freelancing and now turned into a company. When I look back it feels very satisfied that I am living with family and took a right step that time 😁😁😁. I can't explain how good I feel every single day.

I'm Indian, I love being alone. I really hate conversations. I'm better this way! And believe me this doesn't bother me. I don't feel lonely.

Thank you so much mohak sir to speak on such issues. 😢😢😢I am also too lonely 🙁 and no one really talks on such things. You are putting so much efforts to guide and heal persons like us. 👍 hats off 👏 👌 mohak sir. Aapke videos se maine it a kuch seekha jitna maine kabhi school mei nahi seekha. Keep shining ✨

Loneliness in villages has never been a matter of concern. Thank god i'm a villager.

Hey.. thanks a lot for raising this important topic and mentioning our work for lonely senior citizens! We have many programmes across India for low income and middle class elders. We will be very happy to increase our impact by benefiting more and more seniors dealing with loneliness, anxiety, depression and other mental and physical health issues. Keep up your good work! 👍🙌👏

I took a year gap for neet 2023,and chose self /home study. Trust me,i know what and how "loneliness" feels like. I deactivated all social media accounts,all my friends are too busy studying and attending coachings that we hardly ever talk on phone or even chat. My day from Monday to Saturday was the same as usual, 🙃 Wake up - Study - have breakfast -study - Lunch - Study - dinner - Study - sleep - wake up n vice versa. I felt so frustrated,and burnt out and i would get angry and annoyed for silly reasons. I became so depressed. I watched lots of motivational videos too,but no use cos the motivation would last max for 1-2 weeks and then ,i would be back to my original form, lonely. Sometimes i would have panic and anxiety attacks and i would stay awake till morning. This went on for many months 🙃 Loneliness ain't no small issue man

Loneliness, Depression, Anxiety Facing Together , I have no-one to share my problems with Not even a Friend , the only thing i use to do is Crying Alone at midnight So that no one can see my tears ...😢 Saying that I'm suffering from depression is casual nowadays but Suffering is just A very hard phase with which I'm suffering

To come over loneliness, we can do one thing, we should visit temples frequently, especially at the time of aarti and bhajans. I'm practicing this from last few months and this actually works, the ringing of bells and shankha literally soothe my mind, I humbly request all to visit temples at least on weekends. JAI SHREE KRISHNA 🕉

As a 15 year old girl with strict parents, i never shared my problems with anyone not even my parents because they never tried to understand me , nobody knows that how I fight with my depression, loneliness, famil issues, acadmic problems. Now, i even have trust issue on people 😢

I feel lonely and empty for a long time, and despite sharing this feeling with my therapist no clue what was found to resolve my issues. I had to leave my stable job because loneliness cause depression in me which was unavoidable. I'm out of work for 3 years now, and my social connection has been reduced to minimal. This video not only gives voice to many people who are suffering from loneliness but also put the topic at the forefront.

The worst feeling is when you have your family and friends around you but you still feel lonely

Loneliness is modern day Cancer hitting day by day

Achi video hai.. Ise video Ko nida Fazli ne kaha tha " Har taraf beshumaar Aadmi Phir bhi tanhaiyoñ ka shikaar Aadmi"

I can relate to this a lot ,not necessarily now but yes 2 months before . I am a NEET aspirant and I had just completed my 10th when COVID and lockdown started. My first lockdown was very good because all my family was with me all the time . We spent a lot of good time together but then my parents went back to work and I was alone with my sister. Now I was in 11th but the lockdown was still there so we just couldn't go out anywhere to enjoy or shop , just stay at home . I started becoming serious about my ppn so I thought I shouldnt waste my time talking to friends so I purposefully reduced talking to them but little did I know that I would become lonely . 11th and 12th passed somehow but I didn't get a seat so I took a drop but drop year was the worst for me with no social interactions, no friends, no going outside as a result, I couldn't concentrate on my studies like before in 10th etc . Whenever I would sit to study , negative thoughts and overthinking would come in my way . I also started day dreaming a lot .I also had stress whether I would get selected this year or no.This never happened with me before but I think all of this happened because of COVID and lockdown. I had no interactions with anybody in my drop year hence I couldn't study properly at all . I also couldn't do the things I loved to do because I didn't have time to . I wish all this comes to an end asap and life returns to normal,like how it was before the pandemic . I am ok now and not feeling that lonely because after exam finished, I met all my cousins and family members. We also went outside 😊 I taking another drop to prepare for neet this year Neet 2024

Thank you so much Mohak Bhaiya... For acknowledging this issue. ❤ I hope our community will change someday, And we'll never feel alone ever. Take love ♡

16:26s Imagine that friend watching this video😂😂😂

Let's create a statewide network here to curb each other's loneliness by participating in meetups,treks,tours, relationship building, socialising etc. I'm from Andhra Pradesh, people from AP can mark their attendance here.

Well done, Mohak Bhai. 'Loneliness' is something that is felt by millions but only a few hundred want to talk about it. We must accept "Loneliness" as a problem and try to make it easy to express each one's inner problems with others. Thanks to you for raising this issue.

Acceptance of a problem is the first step to a reasonable solution. Correct.

I am 17 year old neet aspirant . I have to study at least 12 hours a day (school + coaching + self) and yet I am barely passing in physics . I have cut going to all social event . The only socializing I do is at school . Yet even there , I have no meaningful connections . I don't even feel alive . Yet I cannot talk to anyone about it. Only thing I hear if I even speak about it is that why did you take science if you are not capable of it. Or just talk to your parents .this is the best one 'lonliness isn't real' . I spent most of my time just talking to myself and just telling me that this would be over it cannot last forever . I started praying and listening to religious stories because they make me feel like I am with someone. God . I even listen to storytimes to feel like I have other people with me . Listening to them make me feel happy or angry or anything that makes me feel alive . But out of whole day I barely get 1 hour for that . I told my parents to take me to a therapist or even get me anti depressents unprescribed but they don't believe in mental disorders . I feel so alone even with people all around me . I don't know what to do except push through.

The sponsor is really helpful, I've bookmarked it to use in future as I'm student and don't have money for it. We always criticize creators for wrong sponsors but never appreciate for right sponsors. So thank you Mohak.

Mohak bhai I don't know if you know, but because of content and videos like this, some of us are very grateful to you. Please don't stop exploring and covering topics like this when you reach 10+ million or 20+ million subscribers, because these topics are very important and people should be made aware of them.

“The loneliness you feel is actually an opportunity to reconnect with others and yourself.” -Maxime Lagac

I must say, the quality of videos has gone up significantly from the last few videos. Keep it up, Mohak!!

I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for the last few years but nobody noticed anything about me, not even my girlfriend. I just hope and pray I don't do anything stupid which might hurt my dear ones.

It's okay guys. Many millions of people are lonely. Find a purpose and work on it. Without purpose you are really lonely. I went through that phase. I'm lonely now, but never felt alone because I do something everyday to achieve my goals.

I am a student and 21 years old . Seeing my parents working hard and also due to financial issues I decided to start some online business. I worked so hard for 1 year but I got no results. I have no friends either from school or collage. I have literally no luck and nothing goes right of what I think. I am trying to earn online from last 2 and half years but I got zero results. Right now I don't believe anything good will happen to me . I abuse myself literallly everyday and things get even worse. Seeing my friends doing jobs even though I have the more knowledge than them makes me question myself everytime if I will be able to get a job. Their is literally nothing in my life right now but only loneliness, self abuse, self hate, anxiety...

Toxic Work Culture and Smart Phone fucked us. End of the discussion.

Very nice discussion... Love from me.. Love from me to all of them who feel lonely..I love my parents so much and stay with them, spend time with them..

I am also lonely but I am not depressed. I felt depressed when I was connected with my neighbors and school mates. Disconnecting my life from them made my mental health much better and I began to live my life happily since then

congratulations for completing MBA while running such a great and inspiring channel

I was feeling so lonely in past few years, preparing for neet while my others friends completed second year of college and still i was nowhere, haven't achieved a single thing in life but i am reliazing that every life is different and i am so lucky. I have a long life ahead of me and a loving family. I live in a city where suicide is very common among my age group because students are away from their family, they feel lonely and disappointed with themselves

Es channel ki har ek vedio bhuuut Sara positive impact add on krti hai....har ek dekhne vale shaks pe ..... consciously or unconsciously.....ye har movie ya web series ya koi bhi other content jisko dekhne k bad personality m kuch meaningful add nhi hota..se laakh Guna achi hai.....aapki vedioes dekhne ka cost benefit bhuuut high hai....❤❤

Thank you so much for spreading this awareness. People think loneliness is something that does not exist, especially when you are surrounded by lots of people.

I also used to feel alone for 2 year after my breakup But Then I decided Move on And started playing cricket Started running Meet new people Go every day for walk I improved my relation with my siblings and parents Nd now i m happy This method is so simple Pr ise karna muskil hai shuru mei pr krne sei hi result milega

Before lockdown everything was fine but after covid pta ni bhut lonely feel hota hai

As a doctor working in rural area. Old people are coming to hospital for only to talk to someone. Because all of there children shift to big cities.

The competition to get a job and a good life is so high that there's no time to smile at someone - every youngster can relate
