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?

    Conversations that I have: 4% with real people 96% in my mind

    The worst thing is going from feeling extremely lonely, to extremely fulfilled, then lonely again
  • @heaven_x
    Being alone sucks man, I also hate it when I’m in public and I see people my age hanging out with their friends and having a good time, meanwhile I’m just sitting there all by myself just hating my life and my existence.
  • @user-dm4wm6ln3t
    The worst part of loneliness is when you watch a movie and want to share your opinion with someone but you have nobody and you end up talking to yourself
  • @poojaach6794
    The worst is..when u spend time with ur "friends" and feel like u don't belong there anymore. Such a contradicting feeling that is.
  • Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
  • @itsAnnaVictoria
    I began tearing up from how well they explained the daily living hell of loneliness I have, and began straight up crying when they explained how I actually can help my self..thank you so much.
  • @tlvdatsi12
    The worst thing is being around people and feeling like you are invisible
  • @Hiraeth1515
    it hurts so much when nobody reaches out to you in the first place. You are never directly talked to by your “friends” and continually excluded from the plans that they made together. You are just there; you’re not important in anyones life and they don’t seem to care about you at all. Nobody checks up on you to see how you are doing or if you want to hang out. Even when you reach out to them first, there is always an excuse of why they can’t go. Even when you thought you made a new friend—one who treats you like an existing person—they start to ignore you and act like you never existed. You eventually start to resort to books, movies, and music to escape from your reality and into a fantasy. You know you would be such a good friend if people just gave you a chance. You’re always left wondering, “what did I do?”

    The sad part is most of the people watching this are lonley
  • @Wolfe420
    I'm at the point where I'm so lonely that I spend a majority of my days fantasizing about my ideal friendships and romantic partner.
  • @MatrixPlays
    This video is really good but makes a lot of assumptions about lonely people “declining” invitations or “defending” ourselves so as to not get hurt, when some of us are the ones who desperately invite others to us and are faced with constant rejection. Some of us have sped so far ahead of our friends and they begin to judge us and see us differently for it. Whether it’s school, or work, or status, most “friends’ are only friends with you while you are their equal. It’s a shame that us as Humans are so flawed because I would love to be social with like minded individuals but it’s so hard when I’m not a drinker, party goer, or interested in the latest tiktok trends.
  • @artemsavtsov983
    it’s been probably 3-4 years since i found this, i come back to it from time to time ,once or twice a year, and find myself in tears almost every time

    The worst thing is being alone in a crowd. I go out to try to make friends and meet people but i end up feeling more isolated than ever.
