Mojosfire You are completely right. Last month I was felling like a shit, then, sudenly, a girl smiled at me in a store. This changed the way I was feeling; and I didn't know her.❤❤
Whenever I feel down, lost or rejected for what I am. I just look up into the skies at night and remind myself how insignificant and meaningless my being is. That my actions and existence will most likely have no effect or harm on the overall universe. This allows me to be myself and realize that society is just a bubble that we all created. The world will not stop spinning if I am a little weird and do things my own way. I have to live with myself all my life. I better make sure I like myself.
“Stop trying to be successful in the eyes of others. “ “When someone says You should be something other than what you are, You are signing up for abuse. “ That was so powerful for me.
Idk about you guys but when I'm in depression, I find my happy place in the wilderness :/ it reminds me of what the world really is, other than what we make it
I turned to nature four years back. The eternal truths allow me to find comfort. I realized how beautiful this world is and also how cruel it is. I fight for my survival nothing else matters. I do what I want, what benifets me and now I am free from the expectations of society.
Jdn me I just watch boxing videos or box and I feel happy or I like to be in the water and be with nature and pray and I feel very happy and peaceful I feel joy sometimes I want to cry because I feel so free and happy but then it’s back to this horrible reality we live in but I realized we don’t have to live in this reality we can escape it by unplugging ourself from the matrix and be free
Sending much of love to everyone who is alone, sad, tired, confused, lost, unloved, depressed or anything similar to how I was feeling for last ..let say..14 years....YOU are not ALONE...we are in it all together and we gonna sort it out, we gonna fight it...DON'T GIVE UP...stay for while, sit, breathe slowly and calm down...everything will be all'right :)
I am just so lost right now nothing satisfies me anymore I literally just sit at home watch TV and yotube videos and go out for little drive's I have no job due to my generalized anxiety and depression. I see therepist weekly and I find I just can't talk to them they think I am doing good. I'm 21 years old was diagnosed 7 years ago I just want my old life back and it hurts me to say it i know when this is over I will be stronger then ever.
Thibault - "I am just so lost right now nothing satisfies me anymore I literally just sit at home watch TV and youtube videos..." I could have written this! THIS IS my life for the past 7 months... I barely leave the house!! Jason's video has helped me understand myself more than the many, many others I have listened to on the subject of depression. "We" are trying to live up to others expectations... we can't!! The more we try the more depressed we get... endless cycle!! (maybe we should turn it around and have them live up to our expectations LOL - see if that depresses them) If we are not of the "cookie-cutter" view of most in this brain-washed society then we are made to think we are not "in step"... and we are not! We have broken away from the norms that society has set up and travel to the beat of a different drum... Hurrah!!! We are FREE!! As a wise teacher has spoken "The Truth will set you Free" so HEAR the Truth and in a short time you will quit beating yourself up and SEE you are just so fine in where you are and what you do (or what you don't do!) that the cloud of depression will lift and all will be well in your world (and just ignore "their world" because you do not chose to live in it in that way) Since I just came to this realization after listening to Jason's video I can't tell you yet how this has improved my life BUT I am so willing to apply this and see the results ... keep in touch and let me know if you try this and how it works out for you. Love and Light and a very large ((((HUG)))) :-)
Thibault people think they are experiencing things that no body else has experienced before. We are all human and we all experience the se things. we all have the same feelings. You are not alone. Your situation is not unique. Things will get better.
wow. this is how i feel. if anyone would like to talk, and just share, no judgement, let me know, we can do a video chat... or whatever.. 24 years old, and you stole the words out of my mouth. I was different 2 years ago, i saw the world differently, with joy and laughter... i dont know what has happened to me. I see so much negativity, chaos and corruption. I don't have any more patience, and I get mad easily. I used to be shy, and happy... anything could put a smile on my face, but now I just run from people and isolate my being. I used to workout and love the outdoors. I had a great body, and great friends, I have gained a few pounds now and don't have the motivation to work out or do outdoor activies like before. I was so close to God too, but now, I don't even know how to get close. I feel numb and nothing satisfies me anymore. I cant "smell the coffee in teh morning" anymore. I cant smell the beauty in the morning, I don't even smell, my mind is always roaming and running, I never breathe. I know that I must get closer spiritually but I don't even know where to start. I don't have the support of my family, and this has taken a toll on me... I just need guidance, and love, and i miss my old self.
i'm a 21 years old male, i typed on youtube " i feel lost and alone" i found your video, watched it, and now i'm crying, cuz u just said what is happening and destroying my life and my happiness. You are a good guy just like me... too bad i'm a good guy that chose the path of suffering and i wanna get out of it..
One of the hardest things I've had to learn is when you have no friends no family and when u really need to talk to someone about something your going through but have no one so u cry a little and bottle it up again cause you have kids and don't want them to see thier only parnet weak or crying cause you want them to think everything is going to be ok and you have it all under control when you really wanna brake down cry and talk to someone but can't cause they don't understand
Chrisanna Fabela hi Chrisanna, i feel the same about family sometimes. I try to stay positive and remind myself that everything happens for a reason and we learn from it. If family isn't there, look, reach elsewhere and ask the universe to guide you towards enlightenment and it will. All will resolve itself if you ask for it.
Rui M hi rui, you are here and others are here feeling very similar. Most of us think no one understands. We'd be surprised to learn how many people feel this emptiness if we were just honest with ourselves. I am here if you need to chat, even if its over social media, it really doesn't matter where we find comfort as long as we find some relief. Also remember this, we have to be very, very aware of our thoughts and diligent to make changes about them. I read this quote and thought it was so powerful: "As you feel it, you begin to reveal it, as you reveal it, you begin to heal it" I hope this helps.
you are so strong!! i have so much love in my heart for you. therapists are good for situations like this sometimes. "there are only happy endings, if you aren't happy then its not the end"

+Maygan Sanchez Its way unfair to be unhappy. But as I tell my coworkers, there are people fighting against the NATO mercenaries, there are people fighting against corporations, there are people fighting for their right to live. So why should be we complaining? Somehow, we all happen to feel alone every once in a while. I feel you, Ill down a beer in your name :)
there are two types of depression. 1: not knowing nothing about yourself and people around you (the most commom, because human are pathetic) and 2: be perfect, know everything, and just, not have a life.
today seem a little more darker then usual , lonely and very lost. it's a struggle and a learning process, but when I came across your video. your video help me, not feel so alone and to understand that I'm not alone in this darkness.
+Marlene Petrolite It's just before Solstice. This happens the week before the 22nd of December to most people. It is the "Shiva" time, or dark time, just before the return of the spiritual light. Hold on, you'll feel much better by Monday. :)
I feel lonely because I'm gonna have to spend my new year's eve alone because everyone else already has plans with their close friends and I don't have any close friends :( And I feel like I never will :) I feel like a loser and I'm so ashamed of spending my new year's eve alone.. with my dysfunctional family that I hate. I feel SEVERE loneliness and I just want to fall asleep and never wake up again.
+Tracey Larrs I understand. Don't worry. It won't always be this way. A lot of people go through this. It comes from the fact that you haven't realized your specialness yet. Here's a link that will help you :). Happy New Year. th-cam.com/video/FC6-iOeLpVU/w-d-xo.html
Hi tracey. i remember feeling like that on new years. Its so sad especially when you have no one to kiss and you just go to bed like its whatever. I feel down most of the time .its an emotion. i feel really sad. i need to admit to myself that crying is okay. i was taught to always stop crying but i had so much emotion that I just had to take my crying to bed with me. I also feel like the world is moving forward and im stuck. maybe this is an illusion because it sounds stupid.
Chris Torres Go to a few of my videos where I flow some energy too you. This might help you feel better. Here are some links. th-cam.com/video/JgHId_MP7gY/w-d-xo.html And here's another one. th-cam.com/video/mELqPA5tWUg/w-d-xo.html
Sky Line .. I know this feeling all too well and can relate too. It hurts and is very painful deep within! It affects one self esteem and confidence big time to the point where they feel beyond insignificant. No one should be all alone in their life and in this world with millions of others all around us. It's all very sad actually! :(
I'm like you Billy. I'm about your age and I've been alone for years...but as the wrong gender. Apparently people like me are not allowed to be hermits..the extra punishment for not being a in gang of women all the time. Family is missing too. I am expected to become a social butterfly and dumb myself down if I want to "maintain" female friendships". Males friendships are now non-existent as I'm not supposed to take interest in the opposite gender outside of relationships. Men drop me when I am just being friendly...because they think I am a treacherous person for not desiring such things. I don't know who to say this too but I am lost at sea. I feel soul damaged due to family abuse..they ruined me. I feel you though. Sorry if this is not much reassurance. They go away...because you are too genuine...the only people that stick around are people that use you. Narcissists and sociopaths. Am I right? I'm going based on frequent patterns I see today.
Sky Line...I relate in how painful loneliness can be to the point literally feels like having a heart attack! I'm at the point in my life now like what Jason said...I'm tired if the game. I've realized I may have people around me but they are manipulative and just want to use people up. I spot them and don't hang out with them. So say to myself... I'd rather be learn to self nurture and grow into my truth rather than waste time with people manipulating me. Stay strong and connect to your TRUTH! You're not alone...just awake😉
You are not alone! Jesus is with you. He loves you, values you and desires you so deeply! Turn to Him! He wants to save you! He can. I love you so much! But He loves so much more! He gave His life away and suffered to free you and give you everlasting life with Him in heaven. This life is temporary. It’s not our home. Remember that. Follow Jesus! He is the only way to life. Praying for you❤️✝️
I can't find a word to describe how much my appreciation is. I have a feeling, this video is probably gonna be a turning point of my life. I almost cried when I was watching the video cause I could feel and relate to what you said so much, and I truly admire your wisdom. I'm in college, dealing with struggles between my parents expectations/society values, and what I truly want to do. It's hard to make a choice and plan my academic career. At the moment, I'm not getting support or understandings from my parents, that's why I'm feeling kind of lost. So what you said about not to constantly looking for approvals is really an enlightenment for me. Although it may still take more time and process for me to figure out what I'm going to do next, but your video does help me a lot. Thank you for making good videos. I'm lucky to find your channel.
Hi Emily, I read your message in regards to the video and I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to be yourself and value yourself. I have two beautiful grown up children who are so good to me. I just feel the world can be distant and cold. This video helped me as well, my husband passed away unexpectedly and I have not been able to process it but I am sincerely privileged to have had a soulmate. I wish you well and every success. From Johannesburg South Africa.
Jesus is the truth. Turn to Him! He loves you, values you and desires you so deeply! This world is so broken. Don’t live for it and with it. It leads to destruction. Jesus died and suffered for you to free you from it and give you everlasting life with Him in heaven. God bless you! I love you!❤️✝️
Let yourself be who you are without anyones permission amd let others be who they are without your permission and you will perhaps find true happiness. This one hit crazy hard. Thanks Jason.
Thank you for your words...the problem is that i actually don't know who i am and where i'm going to...i think i used to pretend for too long and i'm totally lost, just see the straight way to the void...there's nothing left for me, just dark void. Best wishes for you.
I hear you Jacek Poloninski, i dont know who i am coz i faked an identidy since 13 years old, im 35 now, lost lonely, bearly see my 11 yea old girl, and have not been hugged or kissed in years, iv always been lonely
YES, it has helped me. THANK YOU. I'm a person who uplifts everyone around me and I'm at peace and happy most of the time. Every once in a while I need to be uplifted as well and that's exactly what your video did for me.
We really do....ALL of us, need this world to be more bareable. There are so many little things that can add up to making someone feel good. That's what we all want. To feel GOOD.
I love how these talks appreciate in value each time you watch and rewatch. They can all be watched over and over and it's as good or more often better than the first time. The truest of gifts.
Your words were exactly what I needed to hear, thank you so much! Been feeling like crap lately, but pretty sure big man up there has a better plan for me :)
Perhaps the video about depression and loneliness that most hit home, and so very insightful. Thought it could have been a tad shorter but still worthy of watching and recommending!! Thank you!!
I have heard similar things time and time again, but the pain never seems to go away. I am in my 50s now, and I have come to a point in my life where I have lost my edge. I have tried to think and act positive, do the right things,etc., but nothing seems to stick. I am alone at New years once again, no family. Hope you are all well.
You helped me with this video The last 2 weeks I've not wanted to get out of bed , now I realise I have to start over and just do the simple things in life like eat well , walk my dog , go into nature , and stop wanting so much , stop trying to be perfect because it's ruining my mental health
Thank you for posting these. I'm 26 and have struggled with depression for as long as I can remember. These posts are helpful because they remind me of the ways i'm projecting my negativity and shame outward and convincing myself that everyone else thinks the same critical things I'm thinking about myself...( which often times are just not true....)
Jason, I have to say that your words in this short video are amazing. I have read so many books and listened to so many audio books over the last seven years to try and help me. Despite this, the last two years have been amongst the worst of my life because of various major events. And this video has opened my eyes to the fact that someone I thought was trying to help me is actually (maybe unintentionally) abusing me to become someone I'm not because he is unable to be that person himself. The video has made me think for the first time "who am I?" because I don't really know. I don't understand how so much stuff I've read just doesn't say what needs to be said like you say here. I keep coming back to watch this because its life changing.
i have just started telling myself the same thing recently. im like its okay to be unhappy where i am, what matters is realizing this and saying "okay" and then doing the things necessary to put me in a place that better suits me.
I like the way you talk. Most of people on the net are fake, your words are honest, no loud tones yet the loudest meaning. Thank you for being on the net because no body else speaks the real truth.
I find it hard in just living tbh. I feel my life is a failure and things I should of done makes me that. not just that I get very lonely and down to the point I lose my mind to the brink of suicide.......I feel it so hard to open up to my family and friends that I do have, I feel I can only talk to a keyboard or a stranger which is sad in itself. I have been on the brink far too often and so badly want to break away from even thinking of doing anything stupid. I don't know what happiness is as for so long I haven't had a little bit of it I don't even know what it feels like to be happy. I am stuck in such a rut it is so difficult to get out of. my life growing up was great but the past 5-6 years have been a nightmare. I can't see no end but to end it myself :(
The ending it yourself is based on an assumption. The assumption that if you end your body that somehow your experience gets better. It doesn't. What you experience here and now will also be your experience in death so the only choice is to learn self mastery here and now. Watch the rest of my videos. Apply what you hear in them. Chant mantra or meditate, or TRY the BELLOWS breath-it's unbelievable. And if you wish to, read my book, Awakening with Arathi Ma--it's on my website www.jasongallant.ca My journey began in a rut such as your own. It's kind of how this stuff works. :)
J moxon At least you have family and you have friends. This is a positive some people in your situation dont have. Take the positives from everyday and learn to forget the negatives because they are not worth wasting energy on.
My life has been a whole load of ups and downs. When I was 16 I wanted to studied abroad in the UK which was my wish. I was in a long term relationship before that and it wasn’t easy to decide between a long distance relationship and to study abroad. My ex cheated on my during my time in the UK and that really put myself into mental depression. It really didn’t help that I was in a foreign country that I knew very little about, residing in a dorm that consisted of locals that were at least 5 years older than me, and being a foreigner far away from my home country being helpless at saving my relationship. I felt even more distraught that I knew I was wasting my parent’s money on my education far away with my mind so affected by it that I decided to stop my education abroad and return to my home country. I was literally shattered having lost my ex, having lost my education, having lost my dream of studying abroad. I was suicidal and started cutting myself hating my life. My parents pushed me to continue my education locally, and it was tough. I was always reserved, but trying to make it in college and university on my own wasn’t easy. I was weak in additional math and needed to seek help after classes for private tutoring with the lecturer. After college was over, I decided continuing with university locally, and it was still tough in my first year not having a direction. I decided to specialise in accounting solely on the fact that I just did well in it during my high school and college days naturally. While all my peers were having fun, I would be religiously revising, studying and keeping up with the lectures and tutorials. I would spend my weekends in the library taking notes so that the build up to my exams would be easier. I did well in university. This practice helped me to really move on in life and I was out of a depression. I then made a decision to continue my final year in Australia where my sister resided and it was a really good experience for me. I was really upset that I couldn’t find work in Australia, it was in no part my wrongdoing, just that I was seeking work in a foreign country during the global financial crisis at the end of 2009. I returned to my home country and sought temporary work at a company my aunt worked for and I did like what I was doing and felt supported by my superior. At the same time, I met my opportunity to work at one of the Big 4 accounting firms in the world, which I did. I was sad to leave the job that I like what I did but everybody pushed me into working at the Big 4. Initially, I liked doing what I did, learning new things but it was tough. I worked more than 60 hours a week and deadlines were getting shorter and shorter. I felt disillusioned with life after 4 years with the company questioning myself what life is all about if I continued working and working especially in something that I didn’t love doing what I did anymore and something that I couldn’t see myself liking if I had reached the top of the hierarchy. During that time, I met someone at my workplace and had a relationship with for 6 years and she was my rock in the times which I was down (but not depressed). I used to have deep discussions with her about life, passion, our worthiness, achievements, goals. I was looking for a career change away from the corporate world (which by the way I was earning well but had low motivation to work as each day passed by). I wanted to go into horticulture and design but never made it as job openings in my home country never supported such a career nor did we have degrees that I could do part time. In the end, I ended up working for my mother in a family business and initially didn’t have a strong feel to continue the business and wanted to find work overseas in Australia during my time at my mother’s. It was not until several months later that I got really immersed into my work and my girlfriend helping me out with it. I felt on top of the world at that time, having been out of the corporate lifestyle, having my girlfriend work on the same thing as myself and being closer to family. That’s when things started falling apart. My mother started hating my girlfriend, my girlfriend, mother and I started having arguments. Short story is everything is all broken up again. I’m really stuck in this rut not knowing what to do or where to go. I just turned 30 and time is against me.
A lot of classmates of mine have complimented some features of my character but they do not call to hang out with me.I am sick of always being with my two 'real friends' it's the same routine every freaking day.I try to be and act like myself in order to draw people that are interested in being friends but nobody really sees me.All they see is me struggling to keep up with the generation wave.My cycle of acquaintances is wide however,why do i feel so alone?I know people like me,but why don't they ever want to spend time with me?
+Martha An That is the Way of the world..Using the Net, TV ETC to pass on Beliefs that are totally False! If we were to Stop watching or listening to these things then we wouldnt really Know that they exist, but it certainly is breaking down our connections to Everyone. And I would be so Thankful to have at least 1 TRUE Friend man...be thankful for that!!! I have 2 Real friends who love me...unlike yrs ago when I had Many, but Far from True Friends!
I really appreciated this video. It helped me feel better, more compassionate, about my low energy today and my decision to stay home, or rather to return home after realizing my body isn't up to the hiking or biking I'd have loved to do today.
Okay, so I feel like I just need to put out my life story on here. I just need to get these things off of my chest because it feels better to talk about it and maybe someone will understand me where I'm coming from. Just maybe. Ever since I was a little girl I've always felt alone, rejected, unwanted. When I was born I had open heart surgery. My mom and dad divorced when I was 3 years old and I have a younger brother that is my full brother by my dad but my stepdad currently at the time when I was little would used to beat me and say horrible stuff about me because I would be upfront about how my mom cheated on my dad and how my brother's not his kid. Throughout my school years I've been bullied over my weight, what kind of clothes I wore (we've always been a tad poor), or my personality. Dealing with bullies at school and dealing with verbal and physical abuse at home has caused me to turn to eating. I'm overweight today because of what I've been through when I was little. Now it just seems life has gotten worse. I've been fired from countless jobs because I have social phobia and panic when a customer complains about something to me; I also don't take care of myself as I should so I have a few health problems that's caused me to miss work so I have been fired from that also. I've been in relationships were there is always another girl. They tell me they love me and then break it off with me a week or a month later. I just got out of a relationship and realized that I've been dealing with rejection my whole life and never have known how to cope with it. When I was about 13 or 14 I was groped by my stepgrandpa and didn't know what it was at the time that he was "touching" me so I didn't tell anyone. That's been kept bottled up inside of me for ages. I am still verbally abused by my mother even though I'm 28 years old now. She only uses me from the money that she receives from me that I give her for rent. She tells me I can talk to her about my problems but when I do she talks about them behind my back towards other family members and I get judged by what I'm going through. I have really no friends that I can talk to about anything which doesn't help. I have friends but can only contact via facebook because they live out of town and don't know how to pick up the phone and call. I would call them but why do I have to be the one to always do it? My dad disowned me because I finally stood up to how I feel about how he treated me. He puts my stepbrothers first and foremost over myself. He spends more time with them and talks about them all the time yet he can't pick up the phone to call me or anything. Like I said previously even with my father I always have to be the one to pick the phone up to call them. WHY? Am I not worth anyone's time? Am I just here wasting away? Living my life for myself only to disappoint myself because I don't have a car or a drivers license yet. Stuck at a part time job that I don't want to work at because of it. I feel completely lousy like I'm just lost. Idk anymore. I think everyone is right about me that I am up to no good and will never amount to anything. I know I shouldn't talk like that but it is how I feel. My life has just been one huge hell and I can't get out of it. What I really need right now is a friend and some encouragement. I've tried to kill myself millions of times. I have scars on my body from cutting and have lied to people and said that the cat scratched me. I've overdosed on prescribed medication millions of times. I've been into netcare and been diagnosed as clinically depressed. I was on zoloft and have been off it for awhile and idk. I really need help or someone to talk to. :'(
Lisa Hill I really recommend that you read my book, Awakening with Arathi Ma. It's only $5 on Kindle so it's affordable. I started my entire journey because of the blessing of depression. :) It led to great things. You are looking to outside circumstances for your happiness. I know this seems reasonable, but you have already learned that the outside circumstances will always be up and down--they are beyond your control. The best thing you can do is to start learning to find happiness in the unconditional place. Now I know you are asking, "Where is that?" Well, it is something you will realize if you are willing to put in the work. This can be done with breathing, mantra, and meditative practice along with working with someone regularly that has found this place inside. It is important for you to STOP the game of measuring yourself based on somebody else's actions, or your own life circumstance. If you wish to find unconditional happiness you must seek that which is unconditional. The part of you that still exists when you are not thinking. Imagine if you didn't think about every negative thing that happened. Wouldn't each circumstance be nothing other than a passing event? It's the thoughts and commentary about the situations that are causing all of the trouble. The first step here is to stop the judging of events, and the constant thinking about them. Thinking about them hasn't brought happiness so far, so how can you expect it to now? Be here, forget the past, don't think about the future, be here and do what feels right to you in your life. Become more sensitive to what you need--whether that is help from someone in the medical field or not--and I think this is the first step towards you doing just that. I hope this helps a little. I'll see if I can make a video for you in the future. Okay. :)
DeviantCandy I'm hanging in their as long as I can and I just feel lousy like no one really cares. I know that's a lie but I just can't help but to believe it because the people I care about are no longer in my life and the parents I have don't appreciate me or love me like they should. I just feel so emotionally worn out anymore. :/
You won't be with your parents forever. Take control of your life and live away from those who don't support you. Get a job...get two jobs. Just save money and get out when you can!
I have been depressed since the last decade (all of my teenage years). It has become a huge part of me. I don't remember what happiness felt like. I tried so many things, medications and even moving cities. Now I have just accepted this pain as a part of my being. I give up trying so hard.
I am 18 year old Male. I Feel really depressed and i am just entering adult life. i use to be very happy when i was younger i go to school up to high school but now i feel like my life over and i feel like i don't have enough money in order to live and survive. i don't like going to college and university i feel like its all my fault i am wasting my parents money and failing and i didn't really had anything course in mind to take.I understand why they want me to go to university and college so then i don't have to worry about amount of money i need to pay for my bills but i still really don't enjoy it tho but i feel like either way my life going end up the same way having no future. this video a bit heartwarming. I feel as if i have no future because i can't figure out what i want to do but i am afraid that i going to end up in huge poverty because i feel to useless and people will judge me for not being useful enough to help them. I really wish that i could do something i really enjoy doing but i find it doesn't exist in the real world yet but only in online and very low payment not even close to minium wage. but i feel as if i can't even make a minimum wage to survive. I know this video give me some hope but i feel like it only going to be temporary. each day i keep worrying about my future.
+Birdyroxas well, remember that all of your worry is based on what you know. When I was a teenager I worried about these things. Back then there was no such thing as youtube, smart phones, and print on demand book services, print on demand t-shirt and picture services. So back then, I wouldn't have been able to figure out what I was going to do with my life. You see, it hadn't been invented yet. lol. So trust in yourself. Keep learning what you can, following your interests where you can, but in the end, life sometimes meets you halfway. Perhaps what you're going to do hasn't been invented yet.lol. I guide people in meditations and meet people for spiritual healing consultations--do you think I knew I was going to be interested in that at your age? No...I was too busy pursuing other things, that by no means turned out to be success, but it was where my interests lied at the time. Keep showing up for life, and eventually, life finds you. Blessings to you.
+Birdyroxas the point is, just work on being happy with yourself. I bet there's a lot about you that's pretty amazing, you've just turned a blind eye to it. Work on opening those eyes. That's the most important thing. We're here to discover our deepest gifts and then share them, not copy everyone else. Here's a video. :) th-cam.com/video/1R48iJLamiE/w-d-xo.html and here's another one about fitting in: th-cam.com/video/EvmLXjrE1JI/w-d-xo.html
Watching this brought me to tears. The message is so beautiful and touches the heart. "How you perceive yourself is the most important part of the happiness picture." I tend to think badly of myself, and knowing that others have surpassed this stage gives me so much inspiration to also see myself in a different light. Thank you...
Vina Seeker I'm here. Let me know if there are any videos I can make to assist your journey. :) In my book, Awakening with Arathi Ma, I talk about this type of feeling that used to be in me, I take you step by step through my process and show you the wonderful things that happened along the way. :)
***** Thank you! The book will definitely be a great help. :) I think my recent depressions are mostly caused by the "failed attempts" to get there, to be awakened. Whenever I try to allow what is, my own insecurities just fight to resurface and then I get caught up in them; and once I realize that, I end up thinking "I knew I can never get things right" or "I'm such a loser" or anything negative I could come up with. I get the concept of how the mind can be your worst enemy sometimes (or rather, most of the time). And also, since last year, I've been discovering some ways of overcoming the mind's workings. But to me, in actual situations, applying those techniques - and failing at it - gives rise to even more suffering. I don't know, it's like a large tornado of what I'm currently doing and what I'm supposed to be doing. And everything in its way gets caught in the spin. Thus, I'm lost. But because of the sign (video) you created, I'm beginning to see a direction. And I know I can learn a lot more after reading your own journey. :) Again, I thank you for just... being. Keep spreading the love.
Thank you so much for share this video with us. For share your knowledge with us. Seriously I feel so bad about myself and everything is going bad but I'll see this video as many time as I can because I need to remind myself that I don't need others in order to be happy. I'm in so much pain and suffering right now and I try so hard to be okay but it doesn't work. But thank you again. You're wonderful.
I am alone most of the time it's kinda hard for me to find peace but since I been alone I had time to work on myself and become smarter then the people around me
I loved what you said about how we only need to "be" and that should be sufficient. I feel like in this world the first thing people do is "scan" you to then figure you out and decide if you are worthy. But you´re right, we are worthy already, we just have to think more times about that thought, It´s wonderful thought. You know I had to restart my life and I´m not so young and sometimes I feel surrounded by people that have so much more than I do, that´s when I have to tell myself "no one is judging you, stay in peace"
Hi.. I lately feel even more depress and troubled... I feel hopeless and very sad.. I just can't get out yet... I feel no happiness and I'm desperate to get out but i feel like I've already given up...
+Mich Sal yeah that can happen but it won't always be this way. 😊 Suffering sometimes has a way of convincing you otherwise though. Don't believe it. And if you wish to speed things along, start a mantra or meditation practice.
i guess thats my problem... i really don't know... anyway... i know lots of us suffer from this... but really I'm having a trouble esp when there are a lot of obstacles... i guess i just have to harden up just like my partner says
it's not really about "hardening up." It's more about softening into it, without an opinion of it. This allows the energy to do what it is meant to without your input. This brings the heart into the matter and the heart always knows what to do. :)
This is exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your light and insights on this topic! I watched this last night before I went to bed. I was feeling really horrible yesterday, lost, sad, confused but this video helped me remember who I am. I am trying to be like others instead of me or am seeking for approval which is causing a lot of problems and judgments towards myself.
I watched your videos and Thank you for your wisdom and words.I am so lost in my life I feel like I'm going crazy. Nobody is listening to what I'm saying or how I feel.I'm 26 yrs old and married.I have been married for 8 yrs no kids and I'm happy with my husband.We both never really had a great childhood and we are doing the best that we can together. I don't have no family don't want to contact them and as friends go.I walked away from my BFF just 2 weeks ago;because of to much drama.I honestly don't know if I want friends.I need to focus on myself. I have this lost feeling when I look into the mirror at myself and try to understand why I feel this why.All I do is cry and cry some more. I have so much love to give and when I do I get knocked right back down.When I need someone its always like I'm too busy, or you're too clingy.I am so lost in myself I don't know what to do..I don't want to talk to people or I don't want to go out.I have alot going on in my life.I am just lost within my self.I have no self-confidence in myself at all.What should I do?I'm have talk to doctors and nothing works it like I'm a problem for them. Everyone tells me to move forward and move on. Grown-up they say.How can you grow up if nobody ever showed you? I have lived,seen alot in my life but I am not happy with life.I'm happy to be married to the man i truly love.I feel like Im pushing him alway because I can't feel happy with in myself. What is wrong with me?
+Tabitha Cooper You are looking to a relationship with others to fulfill you rather than a relationship with yourself. The feeling of love that you crave cannot be found in another person, but it is found only in yourself. It is found beyond the mind which consists of thoughts of "shoulds" and "should nots." It is found beyond your judgement of what you feel. You need to surrender to what is happening inside of you, rather than looking on the outside to fix it. You will never find the solution to it, because there is no NEED of a solution. What is happening is perfect. You just need to let it be rather than trying to fix it.
Tabitha Cooper I know, that's why I answered. :) Apply some of the things I'm suggesting in the videos. I have about 200 of them now. I will make more as well--if you have a question and I don't have a video, I will make one for you. You will be fine :) The truth is, there's nothing wrong with you, you just have to learn how to be with what's happening inside.
Yes, I will definitely apply some of the things that you said in the video. No questions at this moment. Thank you because I feel like I'm going crazy..I needed to here that.
So true, satisfying others, faking we are what they feel confortable with us being and playing the game, becomes an absurdity. Some family and friends leave us in the process of becoming ourselves, is part of the price. With time, it matters less and as you say J.Gallant, we discover that we are happy. Gee, you're so wise!
+Love Always dear soul, many thanks for directing me to these comments......as you say...it is heartening to know I am not alone. +JasonJGallant I am so glad to have found you, your videos are invaluable , helping on my (just begun) journey of spiritual enlightenment. You exude spirit, soul, calm and self -belief.........so uplifting and comforting, thank you for your wonderful work✨✨
Thank you for sharing your encouragement. The gentle soul is often the most hurt soul. Live your truth and never doubt that you have strength to be yourself.
God bless you for this...I've been condemning myself for feeling like I want to die and wishing that I was never born. You just flipped those feelings into a good thing, and it makes the urge to act on them less!!!
The thing is, when you are in the position of the only hope by many people & your family. life just take over your habits and mind sets. stress, depressed and lonely complement each other till it draws the life out of you, when achievement no longer matters. Even a number 1 has its previous number, which is 0. Where 0 is God him self, true inner peace can only come from 0. On the other hand, a digit would not be alive without the sequence of number, which leads to 2,3,4 till 9... What suffers me the most, is that i have few this digits 2 to 9, which i can never show my emotions or weakness to them, cause then their perspective hope will change, and now that i don't even know, who i am anymore, there is so much things at stakes for me to change who i am anymore. At the end, i am still a human. There's just not enough pure love anymore in this world. 1 has to benefits in order to gain another. i am just so sad right now. cause it is the truth of our world right now.
Thank U for that! I needed that today! Bless u for ur gift and being who u are! I’m gonna pick Myself up from this day forward and let nothing and no one knock me down again!
Whatever you said in this video, you spoke about my existence, but I still feel and believes that a lot of fight is left in me to not fall. So what nobody likes me, there are others who loves and cares about me just for them I will live, I am working on whatever it takes to keep myself busy. Maybe someday I will get unending happiness.. Till then peace out!
Wow. This guy has got to have some gift. His is such a powerful message. I've been looking for hours, days,weeks, months for a TH-cam video that could resonate with my isolation and depression (waiting for diagnosis of bipolar) I'm lost, lonely and disconnected more and more this past year or so. I'm in my 40s, feel useless, no ambition anymore,no desire,just lost, lonely and as much as want to be left alone to just ...wait for the day when things look bright,...I still need validation. I lost touch with friends, my (large) family of brothers and sisters (all in 50s with families of their own) don't talk to me or I to them and they hardly to each other. I want the optimism and hope that I feel sure was there when I was a kid. I wish I could be happy. Alternatively I wish I could live with a semblance of comfort in my sadness and disconnection. I have no kids, don't see much of nieces and nephews. I've sabotaged relationships with women who were good women but I walked away because I could never be just me. Living with depression (possibly bipolar illness) is hard. You want to be left alone but feel every single day that you should join in with life and reconnect.
Try some breathing techniques. They're amazing for getting the prana to move. I have one video called the Bellows Breath. A few minutes of that shifts your state drastically
I tend to over complicate everything when I have a bad day in order to solve depressive thoughts and life problems, but my analytical search for meaning and happiness is more often making it worse than it is helping me - especially if I am searching alone. Reaching out and being honest about your worries and feelings can be difficult, but I get stuck with my own depressive perspectives on things while others can help me finding new once. I really liked what you said about "approval being a never ending game" - thank you for giving me this new perspective :)
I've not see anyone in weeks except strangers in the grocery store. It's tough being 55 and alone. I don't even know how to begin to change my lonely life. If I wasn't my mother's only living child, I'd be outta here!
Such an enlightening message, Jason. I'm about turning 40 yrs old in a few days and I see myself in a complete existential crisis right now. I'm completely unsatisfied with everything in my life now that after a few years maturing the idea, I finally made the decision of quitting my job and travel in order to find my true self and get rid of this fake being that society turned me into. Thank you so much for making that video and let me know, I'm not alone.
+Rosane Lima think of it this way. The spiritual journey takes conditional happiness and evolves it in a higher state of unconditional happiness. In the end, no matter where you go, you are always with you. And in you is where it will be found. :)
I am depressed because I am being in a middle of nowhere. My own family is beating me for who I am until it got to me now. I've been fighting all my life and I just feel tired. Really really tired .. I donno what got to me but I doubt I am having a nervous breakdown... I am usually stronger but I assume I depleted my energy levels
Jason I’ve been watching your videos and following the mantras it has really been shifting my mind. I have been perpetuating my own suffering for the past few years out of fear of the future, other people’s options, my own perceptions etc. Thank you for your work it has been helping me cope with my created suffering
I want to thank you for this message I was I a really low state where I felt like happiness and joy didn't exist. But now I'm slowly but surely finding myself again! I know that I really need to love myself before anything and the rest will follow.
ashley daniels Make sure you subscribe and tune into the other videos. They will assist you with your self discovery! I'm so glad I could offer a small measure of help. I know what it's like. I wrote about the beginnings of my journey that started years ago in my journey years ago. I started in this place exactly. :) It was the largest blessing of my life.
hey man all I could say is I respect you for this bro cause I am also going through all this same stuffs and most of the times I feel like if no girls like me like when I go out sometimes they dont even look at me at all and it makes me feel like if im ugly or whatever.....but its ok man this video really helped me alot and changed my mind into a very different person from sadness I when through happiness now cause thanks to you you open my eyes more and show me that we could be happy in our own self and not necessarily to be someone who we are not you show me now how to be happy in my own way bro thank you alot im a whole new me now :)
I'm not depressed, but probably near to it and I realize this words are very helpful and sweet to hear in such a painful moment of deep loneliness, pain and sadness, especially when you seek for some love that you can't even give anymore. Thank you deeply!
JasonJGallant I can’t stop thinking. I wish I could feel this peace, this happiness you talk about, but I don’t feel it. I feel miserable. And lonely. And I’m tormented by my thoughts. Have been for years...I think it’s just never gonna happen for me.
feeling down.......I'm being stalked.......can't have Facebook. .....don't have many friends.....only on Google. ......things are really unfair sometimes. .....and there's no one to ask fr help .
I feel lonely cuz all of life I've been thr alot of abuse. I feel depressed just thinking about it and and wondering if life would hv been different?? I met this one guy. he was the nicest guy in the world. we've know each over 2 years. after a while he stop calling. I feel like he disappointed me when I trusted him so much. Now I'm back to square one. the one who got dumped!! Sincerely. Purple Rain? ;(
You have time to make changes. Don't quit. You are going to hit slumps here and there. Just find something u like to do even if it is only for a short amount of time during the week.
I think I just found my guardian angel. I've been going through some difficult pain recently and Jason is leading me out of the darkness, one step at a time. I wish I could give him a hug and thank him in person.
Thank you for this. I feel that I don't really fit into the society. From this video I've learnt that feeling so is ok. I have always been a weirdo since childhood. But I have tried A LOT to please people all along my life for acceptance, not really caring about what the child inside me really needs. I have hurt myself. I have failed myself more than anybody else. I let wrong people into my life.I have made wrong career decisions to please my parents. I have fucked up my life just to fit into this society. Now I don't feel anything. I'm numb all the time. My eyes don't express any feeling. The child inside me is gone. I'm grateful for my health,wellness, my parents. Yet, I'm lost. Truly lost.I don't remember the last time when I was happy. It's hard to live amidst expectations set by society. I hope to live a life where I'm ok with being myself completely, not living in fear. Every single minute of my life I'm driven by fear, anxieties. I can't even cry anymore. Tears don't come. It's like sadness consumed me.
Same, I have never fully experienced a real couple relationship. I'm 23 years old...I have never went out on a date. I keep thinking that I am too unattractive and put myself down because of that. So I don't even bother flirting with a girl. Just talk. And that's it.
I think a lot of people struggle with this but don't dare to admit it. I have felt really sad because I thougt that I would never be good enough for someone, that I was ugly and so on. But you need to get past that and focus on yourself instead of focusing on other people.
I keep this video saved just for nights like tonight. I haven't watched it in a long time, but I needed this so much tonight. Thank you Jason. I didn't want to be here again, but there is beauty in the brokenness.
@@ismailmiah1446 I reminded myself that it's ok to be in the dark place and I don't have to fight my way out of it. There's a belief that we shouldn't be there and guilt about it can compound the feelings. Any door I can find to loving myself while I'm in that state is where I go.
I felt so sad but the kindness in Jason's voice helped me feel some peace about myself. Its so hard to get through this. At least this is a start for peace inside. Thank you for your compassion and kindness.
thank you Jason! I felt with years of depression but now I feel just loneliness but I don't want that I want to look up to success because I believe I'm stronger then what I was. for the wrong person I was when I had a bad past I feel like everything deserves a purpose but I just want people to know my standing grounds not just past but I want them to see everything even my future as we all grow in this type of society. because I'm different like very one else!
this has helped me. I've recently separate from who I thought was the love of my life. both of our kids were involved alot. I've been feeling down. I also stopped drug use....hoping to better myself because I want more out of life....and in doing so I've quickly found out friends seem to be only a convenience. With it all I've felt I'm traveling a road all on my own. Sometimes I even wonder if it will all be worth it. When you said the failures are just a way to success...it resonated with me. I hope it is true...no matter what form of success. I suppose the most rewarding things in life do not come easy.
Ah, so good that in the first 2 minutes you said exactly how I feel. I was grieving then I got stuck in denial. I feel exhausted. Thank you for this video.
As they say, some of the happiest smiles, hide the biggest pain.
Mojosfire everyone does always wonder why I'm smiling all the time
Mojosfire You are completely right. Last month I was felling like a shit, then, sudenly, a girl smiled at me in a store. This changed the way I was feeling; and I didn't know her.❤❤

@@jordansalvador5425 same
RiverChicken308 I’m with yu buddy, how bout we both smile for that picture 😉hmu if yu ever need summ
Whenever I feel down, lost or rejected for what I am. I just look up into the skies at night and remind myself how insignificant and meaningless my being is. That my actions and existence will most likely have no effect or harm on the overall universe.
This allows me to be myself and realize that society is just a bubble that we all created. The world will not stop spinning if I am a little weird and do things my own way.
I have to live with myself all my life. I better make sure I like myself.
+Timothy Todd Glad I could help.
Strong cry, soul being.
great perspective :D
Timothy Todd How do you stop "hiding" them? Thank you
Timothy Todd I'm quoting this
“Stop trying to be successful in the eyes of others. “
“When someone says You should be something other than what you are, You are signing up for abuse. “ That was so powerful for me.
Idk about you guys but when I'm in depression, I find my happy place in the wilderness :/ it reminds me of what the world really is, other than what we make it
nature, animals, and art for me
I live in stupid Chicago if I go outside I will freeze to death. :\
Yes, for me too. But then I feel sad that we as humans are destroying so much,
I turned to nature four years back. The eternal truths allow me to find comfort. I realized how beautiful this world is and also how cruel it is. I fight for my survival nothing else matters. I do what I want, what benifets me and now I am free from the expectations of society.
Jdn me I just watch boxing videos or box and I feel happy or I like to be in the water and be with nature and pray and I feel very happy and peaceful I feel joy sometimes I want to cry because I feel so free and happy but then it’s back to this horrible reality we live in but I realized we don’t have to live in this reality we can escape it by unplugging ourself from the matrix and be free
Sending much of love to everyone who is alone, sad, tired, confused, lost, unloved, depressed or anything similar to how I was feeling for last ..let say..14 years....YOU are not ALONE...we are in it all together and we gonna sort it out, we gonna fight it...DON'T GIVE UP...stay for while, sit, breathe slowly and calm down...everything will be all'right :)
Thank you. I needed to hear this.
I am just so lost right now nothing satisfies me anymore I literally just sit at home watch TV and yotube videos and go out for little drive's I have no job due to my generalized anxiety and depression. I see therepist weekly and I find I just can't talk to them they think I am doing good. I'm 21 years old was diagnosed 7 years ago I just want my old life back and it hurts me to say it i know when this is over I will be stronger then ever.
Thibault - "I am just so lost right now nothing satisfies me anymore I literally just sit at home watch TV and youtube videos..." I could have written this! THIS IS my life for the past 7 months... I barely leave the house!! Jason's video has helped me understand myself more than the many, many others I have listened to on the subject of depression. "We" are trying to live up to others expectations... we can't!! The more we try the more depressed we get... endless cycle!! (maybe we should turn it around and have them live up to our expectations LOL - see if that depresses them) If we are not of the "cookie-cutter" view of most in this brain-washed society then we are made to think we are not "in step"... and we are not! We have broken away from the norms that society has set up and travel to the beat of a different drum... Hurrah!!! We are FREE!! As a wise teacher has spoken "The Truth will set you Free" so HEAR the Truth and in a short time you will quit beating yourself up and SEE you are just so fine in where you are and what you do (or what you don't do!) that the cloud of depression will lift and all will be well in your world (and just ignore "their world" because you do not chose to live in it in that way) Since I just came to this realization after listening to Jason's video I can't tell you yet how this has improved my life BUT I am so willing to apply this and see the results ... keep in touch and let me know if you try this and how it works out for you. Love and Light and a very large ((((HUG)))) :-)
Thibault people think they are experiencing things that no body else has experienced before. We are all human and we all experience the se things. we all have the same feelings. You are not alone. Your situation is not unique. Things will get better.
wow. this is how i feel. if anyone would like to talk, and just share, no judgement, let me know, we can do a video chat... or whatever.. 24 years old, and you stole the words out of my mouth. I was different 2 years ago, i saw the world differently, with joy and laughter... i dont know what has happened to me. I see so much negativity, chaos and corruption. I don't have any more patience, and I get mad easily. I used to be shy, and happy... anything could put a smile on my face, but now I just run from people and isolate my being. I used to workout and love the outdoors. I had a great body, and great friends, I have gained a few pounds now and don't have the motivation to work out or do outdoor activies like before. I was so close to God too, but now, I don't even know how to get close. I feel numb and nothing satisfies me anymore. I cant "smell the coffee in teh morning" anymore. I cant smell the beauty in the morning, I don't even smell, my mind is always roaming and running, I never breathe. I know that I must get closer spiritually but I don't even know where to start. I don't have the support of my family, and this has taken a toll on me... I just need guidance, and love, and i miss my old self.
NinjaAttacks This is exactly me too. Just stay at home, watch tv and You Tube videos, no family support, just go out to run basic errands and to work.
Bro, you wouldn't believe what happened to me.. my mentality changed and I woke up. I no longer have depression
I look at the stars and think of them as my friends
Had suicidal ideations then saw this, makes me feel a tiny bit better!
Anthony H don’t feel like that at all!! Your a brilliant person and just think positive for once and u will see a big difference :)
we all have suicidal ideation hang in there!
i wish that you are fine and find your path and be your self.....
i'm a 21 years old male, i typed on youtube " i feel lost and alone" i found your video, watched it, and now i'm crying, cuz u just said what is happening and destroying my life and my happiness. You are a good guy just like me... too bad i'm a good guy that chose the path of suffering and i wanna get out of it..
Same
Same, 21 years old too
One of the hardest things I've had to learn is when you have no friends no family and when u really need to talk to someone about something your going through but have no one so u cry a little and bottle it up again cause you have kids and don't want them to see thier only parnet weak or crying cause you want them to think everything is going to be ok and you have it all under control when you really wanna brake down cry and talk to someone but can't cause they don't understand
Chrisanna Fabela hi Chrisanna, i feel the same about family sometimes. I try to stay positive and remind myself that everything happens for a reason and we learn from it. If family isn't there, look, reach elsewhere and ask the universe to guide you towards enlightenment and it will. All will resolve itself if you ask for it.
Rui M hi rui, you are here and others are here feeling very similar. Most of us think no one understands. We'd be surprised to learn how many people feel this emptiness if we were just honest with ourselves. I am here if you need to chat, even if its over social media, it really doesn't matter where we find comfort as long as we find some relief. Also remember this, we have to be very, very aware of our thoughts and diligent to make changes about them. I read this quote and thought it was so powerful: "As you feel it, you begin to reveal it, as you reveal it, you begin to heal it" I hope this helps.
you are so strong!! i have so much love in my heart for you. therapists are good for situations like this sometimes. "there are only happy endings, if you aren't happy then its not the end"
Chrisanna Fabela yes I feel exactly the same right now
I can relate to your isolation. I hope you find someone to talk to. Even a helpline can help. It can take a while to break out of isolation.
I'm dealing with depression anxiety ocd from 2010, ,,I'm totally broken, can't fight anymore, ,,just sitting in a dark room and watching TH-cam
SIMRAN DEEP SINGH try some of the mantras on this playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLPwSCHiUqKMmsdsX6_3N3QxbHbQdPKwnl.html
OR absorb some of the energies in these blessings and see if it helps :)
th-cam.com/play/PLPwSCHiUqKMn6Hw2pahvNgZzrcWpiN982.html
Sure. ...and thank you for your videos. . .
It took me a long,. time to realise nearly everyone else around me is equally depressed. It opened my eyes and made things much much easier.
+KonohasGreen Beast my friend every one have basic problems in life but depression is a illness. . ocd is even worse than depression
SIMRAN DEEP SINGH Exactly
Very very intelligent & wise. So grateful for this.. I really needed to hear this right now.
+Maygan Sanchez Its way unfair to be unhappy.
But as I tell my coworkers, there are people fighting against the NATO mercenaries, there are people fighting against corporations, there are people fighting for their right to live. So why should be we complaining? Somehow, we all happen to feel alone every once in a while. I feel you, Ill down a beer in your name :)
there are two types of depression. 1: not knowing nothing about yourself and people around you (the most commom, because human are pathetic) and 2: be perfect, know everything, and just, not have a life.
James Benson hahaha
Women don't need gratification they seem to doing the world a favour by just existing
today seem a little more darker then usual , lonely and very lost. it's a struggle and a learning process, but when I came across your video. your video help me, not feel so alone and to understand that I'm not alone in this darkness.
+Marlene Petrolite It's just before Solstice. This happens the week before the 22nd of December to most people. It is the "Shiva" time, or dark time, just before the return of the spiritual light. Hold on, you'll feel much better by Monday. :)
I feel lonely because I'm gonna have to spend my new year's eve alone because everyone else already has plans with their close friends and I don't have any close friends :( And I feel like I never will :) I feel like a loser and I'm so ashamed of spending my new year's eve alone.. with my dysfunctional family that I hate. I feel SEVERE loneliness and I just want to fall asleep and never wake up again.
+Tracey Larrs I understand. Don't worry. It won't always be this way. A lot of people go through this. It comes from the fact that you haven't realized your specialness yet. Here's a link that will help you :). Happy New Year. th-cam.com/video/FC6-iOeLpVU/w-d-xo.html
Me too
i'm 21, i feel too old to meet new people.. everyone has close friends by now
***** I have issues with social anxiety :/
Hi tracey. i remember feeling like that on new years. Its so sad especially when you have no one to kiss and you just go to bed like its whatever. I feel down most of the time .its an emotion. i feel really sad. i need to admit to myself that crying is okay. i was taught to always stop crying but i had so much emotion that I just had to take my crying to bed with me. I also feel like the world is moving forward and im stuck. maybe this is an illusion because it sounds stupid.
Thank you. I've been feeling so depressed. Unhappy with my self image, and feeling alone.
Chris Torres Go to a few of my videos where I flow some energy too you. This might help you feel better. Here are some links. th-cam.com/video/JgHId_MP7gY/w-d-xo.html
And here's another one. th-cam.com/video/mELqPA5tWUg/w-d-xo.html
i alone for many year's , that doesn't feel good at all
Sky Line .. I know this feeling all too well and can relate too. It hurts and is very painful deep within! It affects one self esteem and confidence big time to the point where they feel beyond insignificant. No one should be all alone in their life and in this world with millions of others all around us. It's all very sad actually! :(
I'm like you Billy. I'm about your age and I've been alone for years...but as the wrong gender. Apparently people like me are not allowed to be hermits..the extra punishment for not being a in gang of women all the time. Family is missing too. I am expected to become a social butterfly and dumb myself down if I want to "maintain" female friendships". Males friendships are now non-existent as I'm not supposed to take interest in the opposite gender outside of relationships. Men drop me when I am just being friendly...because they think I am a treacherous person for not desiring such things. I don't know who to say this too but I am lost at sea. I feel soul damaged due to family abuse..they ruined me. I feel you though. Sorry if this is not much reassurance. They go away...because you are too genuine...the only people that stick around are people that use you. Narcissists and sociopaths. Am I right? I'm going based on frequent patterns I see today.
+I fucking hate TH-cam no that's not the truth I look good but I'm still alone in fact I like being alone
Sky Line Same here man, ive been so lonely these past three years, it's a HORRIBLE feeling. Laying in bed most nights just crying my eyes out.
Sky Line...I relate in how painful loneliness can be to the point literally feels like having a heart attack! I'm at the point in my life now like what Jason said...I'm tired if the game. I've realized I may have people around me but they are manipulative and just want to use people up. I spot them and don't hang out with them. So say to myself... I'd rather be learn to self nurture and grow into my truth rather than waste time with people manipulating me. Stay strong and connect to your TRUTH! You're not alone...just awake😉
I am already so sick and tired of my loneliness.

You are not alone, you are a miracle with the sole purpose of being yourself and loving yourself.
Still?
You are not alone! Jesus is with you. He loves you, values you and desires you so deeply! Turn to Him! He wants to save you! He can. I love you so much! But He loves so much more! He gave His life away and suffered to free you and give you everlasting life with Him in heaven. This life is temporary. It’s not our home. Remember that. Follow Jesus! He is the only way to life. Praying for you❤️✝️
@@johngriswold4303 I hope you do well now?
I can't find a word to describe how much my appreciation is. I have a feeling, this video is probably gonna be a turning point of my life. I almost cried when I was watching the video cause I could feel and relate to what you said so much, and I truly admire your wisdom. I'm in college, dealing with struggles between my parents expectations/society values, and what I truly want to do. It's hard to make a choice and plan my academic career. At the moment, I'm not getting support or understandings from my parents, that's why I'm feeling kind of lost. So what you said about not to constantly looking for approvals is really an enlightenment for me. Although it may still take more time and process for me to figure out what I'm going to do next, but your video does help me a lot. Thank you for making good videos. I'm lucky to find your channel.
Ge Emily so happy it helped :)
Hi Emily, I read your message in regards to the video and I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to be yourself and value yourself. I have two beautiful grown up children who are so good to me. I just feel the world can be distant and cold. This video helped me as well, my husband passed away unexpectedly and I have not been able to process it but I am sincerely privileged to have had a soulmate. I wish you well and every success. From Johannesburg South Africa.
I've been feeling so disconnected and lost but your words are giving me hope.Thank you!
the truth seems to be the loneliest place to inhabit
monogramadikt damn bro right pn the feels
Truth = isolation for great thinkers
Jesus is the truth. Turn to Him! He loves you, values you and desires you so deeply! This world is so broken. Don’t live for it and with it. It leads to destruction. Jesus died and suffered for you to free you from it and give you everlasting life with Him in heaven. God bless you! I love you!❤️✝️
@@miked.7322 Yeah...
I got teary now and it feels so good to hear this from someone else. Thank you so much.
:)
Awww wazap dawg
Let yourself be who you are without anyones permission amd let others be who they are without your permission and you will perhaps find true happiness.
This one hit crazy hard. Thanks Jason.
Thank you for your words...the problem is that i actually don't know who i am and where i'm going to...i think i used to pretend for too long and i'm totally lost, just see the straight way to the void...there's nothing left for me, just dark void. Best wishes for you.
i feel the same right now
Jacek Połoniński same
I hear you Jacek Poloninski, i dont know who i am coz i faked an identidy since 13 years old, im 35 now, lost lonely, bearly see my 11 yea old girl, and have not been hugged or kissed in years, iv always been lonely
YES, it has helped me. THANK YOU.
I'm a person who uplifts everyone around me and I'm at peace and happy most of the time. Every once in a while I need to be uplifted as well and that's exactly what your video did for me.
Sherri Lynn am so glad there are ppl like you,cheers.
What a beautiful thing to say to someone. Thank you for uplifting me. I'll pay it forward. Wishing you a spectaular week;)
Sherri Lynn thank you,meant every word Sherri. ppl like you makes this world we live in more bareable.
We really do....ALL of us, need this world to be more bareable.
There are so many little things that can add up to making someone feel good. That's what we all want. To feel GOOD.
I concur sherri.feeling good,is good enough.
I love how these talks appreciate in value each time you watch and rewatch. They can all be watched over and over and it's as good or more often better than the first time. The truest of gifts.
Your words were exactly what I needed to hear, thank you so much! Been feeling like crap lately, but pretty sure big man up there has a better plan for me :)
You helped me in the moment.
+elisa gonzales :)
elisa gonzales Hey
Perhaps the video about depression and loneliness that most hit home, and so very insightful. Thought it could have been a tad shorter but still worthy of watching and recommending!! Thank you!!
Jimena Verdaguer, you must be a kind 💓 being 💓 ☺️🤙
Some people just disappoint us so much. Great video
I have heard similar things time and time again, but the pain never seems to go away. I am in my 50s now, and I have come to a point in my life where I have lost my edge.
I have tried to think and act positive, do the right things,etc., but nothing seems to stick.
I am alone at New years once again, no family. Hope you are all well.
You helped me with this video
The last 2 weeks I've not wanted to get out of bed , now I realise I have to start over and just do the simple things in life like eat well , walk my dog , go into nature , and stop wanting so much , stop trying to be perfect because it's ruining my mental health
Thank you for posting these. I'm 26 and have struggled with depression for as long as I can remember. These posts are helpful because they remind me of the ways i'm projecting my negativity and shame outward and convincing myself that everyone else thinks the same critical things I'm thinking about myself...( which often times are just not true....)
+Amy Schnitzler :)
The day I embraced my emptiness and pain was the day I found peace.
Jason, I have to say that your words in this short video are amazing. I have read so many books and listened to so many audio books over the last seven years to try and help me. Despite this, the last two years have been amongst the worst of my life because of various major events. And this video has opened my eyes to the fact that someone I thought was trying to help me is actually (maybe unintentionally) abusing me to become someone I'm not because he is unable to be that person himself. The video has made me think for the first time "who am I?" because I don't really know. I don't understand how so much stuff I've read just doesn't say what needs to be said like you say here. I keep coming back to watch this because its life changing.
Glad it's helped. Internal mastery is an ongoing process, but the most important aspect of it all, is self acceptance.
When I'm sad I remind me of not feeling sorry for myself cause why should I? Then I start doing stuff to get me further in life
i have just started telling myself the same thing recently. im like its okay to be unhappy where i am, what matters is realizing this and saying "okay" and then doing the things necessary to put me in a place that better suits me.
What if one doesn't even have a clue of what they should do to put them back in place?
Vegard Hansen,Always be happy 😊and positive ok🤙
I like the way you talk.
Most of people on the net are fake, your words are honest, no loud tones yet the loudest meaning. Thank you for being on the net because no body else speaks the real truth.
I find it hard in just living tbh. I feel my life is a failure and things I should of done makes me that. not just that I get very lonely and down to the point I lose my mind to the brink of suicide.......I feel it so hard to open up to my family and friends that I do have, I feel I can only talk to a keyboard or a stranger which is sad in itself. I have been on the brink far too often and so badly want to break away from even thinking of doing anything stupid. I don't know what happiness is as for so long I haven't had a little bit of it I don't even know what it feels like to be happy. I am stuck in such a rut it is so difficult to get out of. my life growing up was great but the past 5-6 years have been a nightmare. I can't see no end but to end it myself :(
The ending it yourself is based on an assumption. The assumption that if you end your body that somehow your experience gets better. It doesn't. What you experience here and now will also be your experience in death so the only choice is to learn self mastery here and now. Watch the rest of my videos. Apply what you hear in them. Chant mantra or meditate, or TRY the BELLOWS breath-it's unbelievable. And if you wish to, read my book, Awakening with Arathi Ma--it's on my website www.jasongallant.ca
My journey began in a rut such as your own. It's kind of how this stuff works. :)
J moxon At least you have family and you have friends. This is a positive some people in your situation dont have. Take the positives from everyday and learn to forget the negatives because they are not worth wasting energy on.
Cherazad Swift hey I can give you my phone number if you want. We can text or talk about it. I've been through these things. Hang in there!!
Cherazad Swift email me at stone.anthony09@gmail.com
Damn dude, just reading this made me cry cos I feel similar.
your face, voice, words, all emitte hope, joy and peace
You sir, spoke directly into my soul and made me cry. I thank you for those kind and warming words.
My life has been a whole load of ups and downs.
When I was 16 I wanted to studied abroad in the UK which was my wish. I was in a long term relationship before that and it wasn’t easy to decide between a long distance relationship and to study abroad. My ex cheated on my during my time in the UK and that really put myself into mental depression. It really didn’t help that I was in a foreign country that I knew very little about, residing in a dorm that consisted of locals that were at least 5 years older than me, and being a foreigner far away from my home country being helpless at saving my relationship. I felt even more distraught that I knew I was wasting my parent’s money on my education far away with my mind so affected by it that I decided to stop my education abroad and return to my home country. I was literally shattered having lost my ex, having lost my education, having lost my dream of studying abroad. I was suicidal and started cutting myself hating my life.
My parents pushed me to continue my education locally, and it was tough. I was always reserved, but trying to make it in college and university on my own wasn’t easy. I was weak in additional math and needed to seek help after classes for private tutoring with the lecturer. After college was over, I decided continuing with university locally, and it was still tough in my first year not having a direction. I decided to specialise in accounting solely on the fact that I just did well in it during my high school and college days naturally. While all my peers were having fun, I would be religiously revising, studying and keeping up with the lectures and tutorials. I would spend my weekends in the library taking notes so that the build up to my exams would be easier. I did well in university. This practice helped me to really move on in life and I was out of a depression. I then made a decision to continue my final year in Australia where my sister resided and it was a really good experience for me. I was really upset that I couldn’t find work in Australia, it was in no part my wrongdoing, just that I was seeking work in a foreign country during the global financial crisis at the end of 2009.
I returned to my home country and sought temporary work at a company my aunt worked for and I did like what I was doing and felt supported by my superior. At the same time, I met my opportunity to work at one of the Big 4 accounting firms in the world, which I did. I was sad to leave the job that I like what I did but everybody pushed me into working at the Big 4.
Initially, I liked doing what I did, learning new things but it was tough. I worked more than 60 hours a week and deadlines were getting shorter and shorter. I felt disillusioned with life after 4 years with the company questioning myself what life is all about if I continued working and working especially in something that I didn’t love doing what I did anymore and something that I couldn’t see myself liking if I had reached the top of the hierarchy. During that time, I met someone at my workplace and had a relationship with for 6 years and she was my rock in the times which I was down (but not depressed).
I used to have deep discussions with her about life, passion, our worthiness, achievements, goals. I was looking for a career change away from the corporate world (which by the way I was earning well but had low motivation to work as each day passed by). I wanted to go into horticulture and design but never made it as job openings in my home country never supported such a career nor did we have degrees that I could do part time.
In the end, I ended up working for my mother in a family business and initially didn’t have a strong feel to continue the business and wanted to find work overseas in Australia during my time at my mother’s. It was not until several months later that I got really immersed into my work and my girlfriend helping me out with it. I felt on top of the world at that time, having been out of the corporate lifestyle, having my girlfriend work on the same thing as myself and being closer to family.
That’s when things started falling apart. My mother started hating my girlfriend, my girlfriend, mother and I started having arguments.
Short story is everything is all broken up again. I’m really stuck in this rut not knowing what to do or where to go. I just turned 30 and time is against me.
A lot of classmates of mine have complimented some features of my character but they do not call to hang out with me.I am sick of always being with my two 'real friends' it's the same routine every freaking day.I try to be and act like myself in order to draw people that are interested in being friends but nobody really sees me.All they see is me struggling to keep up with the generation wave.My cycle of acquaintances is wide however,why do i feel so alone?I know people like me,but why don't they ever want to spend time with me?
+Martha An That is the Way of the world..Using the Net, TV ETC to pass on Beliefs that are totally False! If we were to Stop watching or listening to these things then we wouldnt really Know that they exist, but it certainly is breaking down our connections to Everyone. And I would be so Thankful to have at least 1 TRUE Friend man...be thankful for that!!! I have 2 Real friends who love me...unlike yrs ago when I had Many, but Far from True Friends!
Well,I had the same experience than you the whole high school "part"...
Μάρθα Ανεσιάδου don't worry Iam also on the same road just like you alone so I think we should talk with each other
Μάρθα Ανεσιάδου I honestly can not have worded this any better , I feel the exact same way and it’s just so shit
Wow this sounds like my current situation. I hope things got better for you. Searching for this in my life. Peace.
I really appreciated this video. It helped me feel better, more compassionate, about my low energy today and my decision to stay home, or rather to return home after realizing my body isn't up to the hiking or biking I'd have loved to do today.
Okay, so I feel like I just need to put out my life story on here. I just need to get these things off of my chest because it feels better to talk about it and maybe someone will understand me where I'm coming from. Just maybe. Ever since I was a little girl I've always felt alone, rejected, unwanted. When I was born I had open heart surgery. My mom and dad divorced when I was 3 years old and I have a younger brother that is my full brother by my dad but my stepdad currently at the time when I was little would used to beat me and say horrible stuff about me because I would be upfront about how my mom cheated on my dad and how my brother's not his kid. Throughout my school years I've been bullied over my weight, what kind of clothes I wore (we've always been a tad poor), or my personality. Dealing with bullies at school and dealing with verbal and physical abuse at home has caused me to turn to eating. I'm overweight today because of what I've been through when I was little. Now it just seems life has gotten worse. I've been fired from countless jobs because I have social phobia and panic when a customer complains about something to me; I also don't take care of myself as I should so I have a few health problems that's caused me to miss work so I have been fired from that also. I've been in relationships were there is always another girl. They tell me they love me and then break it off with me a week or a month later. I just got out of a relationship and realized that I've been dealing with rejection my whole life and never have known how to cope with it. When I was about 13 or 14 I was groped by my stepgrandpa and didn't know what it was at the time that he was "touching" me so I didn't tell anyone. That's been kept bottled up inside of me for ages. I am still verbally abused by my mother even though I'm 28 years old now. She only uses me from the money that she receives from me that I give her for rent. She tells me I can talk to her about my problems but when I do she talks about them behind my back towards other family members and I get judged by what I'm going through. I have really no friends that I can talk to about anything which doesn't help. I have friends but can only contact via facebook because they live out of town and don't know how to pick up the phone and call. I would call them but why do I have to be the one to always do it? My dad disowned me because I finally stood up to how I feel about how he treated me. He puts my stepbrothers first and foremost over myself. He spends more time with them and talks about them all the time yet he can't pick up the phone to call me or anything. Like I said previously even with my father I always have to be the one to pick the phone up to call them. WHY? Am I not worth anyone's time? Am I just here wasting away? Living my life for myself only to disappoint myself because I don't have a car or a drivers license yet. Stuck at a part time job that I don't want to work at because of it. I feel completely lousy like I'm just lost. Idk anymore. I think everyone is right about me that I am up to no good and will never amount to anything. I know I shouldn't talk like that but it is how I feel. My life has just been one huge hell and I can't get out of it. What I really need right now is a friend and some encouragement. I've tried to kill myself millions of times. I have scars on my body from cutting and have lied to people and said that the cat scratched me. I've overdosed on prescribed medication millions of times. I've been into netcare and been diagnosed as clinically depressed. I was on zoloft and have been off it for awhile and idk. I really need help or someone to talk to. :'(
Lisa Hill I really recommend that you read my book, Awakening with Arathi Ma. It's only $5 on Kindle so it's affordable. I started my entire journey because of the blessing of depression. :) It led to great things. You are looking to outside circumstances for your happiness. I know this seems reasonable, but you have already learned that the outside circumstances will always be up and down--they are beyond your control. The best thing you can do is to start learning to find happiness in the unconditional place. Now I know you are asking, "Where is that?" Well, it is something you will realize if you are willing to put in the work. This can be done with breathing, mantra, and meditative practice along with working with someone regularly that has found this place inside. It is important for you to STOP the game of measuring yourself based on somebody else's actions, or your own life circumstance. If you wish to find unconditional happiness you must seek that which is unconditional. The part of you that still exists when you are not thinking. Imagine if you didn't think about every negative thing that happened. Wouldn't each circumstance be nothing other than a passing event? It's the thoughts and commentary about the situations that are causing all of the trouble. The first step here is to stop the judging of events, and the constant thinking about them. Thinking about them hasn't brought happiness so far, so how can you expect it to now? Be here, forget the past, don't think about the future, be here and do what feels right to you in your life. Become more sensitive to what you need--whether that is help from someone in the medical field or not--and I think this is the first step towards you doing just that. I hope this helps a little. I'll see if I can make a video for you in the future. Okay. :)
Thank you and I'll think about getting that book.
Lisa Hill I also had open heart surgery when I was an infant and my parents were also divorced, but I'm an only child :) hang in there!
DeviantCandy I'm hanging in their as long as I can and I just feel lousy like no one really cares. I know that's a lie but I just can't help but to believe it because the people I care about are no longer in my life and the parents I have don't appreciate me or love me like they should. I just feel so emotionally worn out anymore. :/
You won't be with your parents forever. Take control of your life and live away from those who don't support you. Get a job...get two jobs. Just save money and get out when you can!
I have been depressed since the last decade (all of my teenage years). It has become a huge part of me. I don't remember what happiness felt like. I tried so many things, medications and even moving cities. Now I have just accepted this pain as a part of my being. I give up trying so hard.
I am 18 year old Male. I Feel really depressed and i am just entering adult life. i use to be very happy when i was younger i go to school up to high school but now i feel like my life over and i feel like i don't have enough money in order to live and survive. i don't like going to college and university i feel like its all my fault i am wasting my parents money and failing and i didn't really had anything course in mind to take.I understand why they want me to go to university and college so then i don't have to worry about amount of money i need to pay for my bills but i still really don't enjoy it tho but i feel like either way my life going end up the same way having no future.
this video a bit heartwarming. I feel as if i have no future because i can't figure out what i want to do but i am afraid that i going to end up in huge poverty because i feel to useless and people will judge me for not being useful enough to help them. I really wish that i could do something i really enjoy doing but i find it doesn't exist in the real world yet but only in online and very low payment not even close to minium wage. but i feel as if i can't even make a minimum wage to survive. I know this video give me some hope but i feel like it only going to be temporary. each day i keep worrying about my future.
+Birdyroxas well, remember that all of your worry is based on what you know. When I was a teenager I worried about these things. Back then there was no such thing as youtube, smart phones, and print on demand book services, print on demand t-shirt and picture services. So back then, I wouldn't have been able to figure out what I was going to do with my life. You see, it hadn't been invented yet. lol. So trust in yourself. Keep learning what you can, following your interests where you can, but in the end, life sometimes meets you halfway. Perhaps what you're going to do hasn't been invented yet.lol. I guide people in meditations and meet people for spiritual healing consultations--do you think I knew I was going to be interested in that at your age? No...I was too busy pursuing other things, that by no means turned out to be success, but it was where my interests lied at the time. Keep showing up for life, and eventually, life finds you. Blessings to you.
***** I see thank you Jason
+Birdyroxas the point is, just work on being happy with yourself. I bet there's a lot about you that's pretty amazing, you've just turned a blind eye to it. Work on opening those eyes. That's the most important thing. We're here to discover our deepest gifts and then share them, not copy everyone else. Here's a video. :) th-cam.com/video/1R48iJLamiE/w-d-xo.html
and here's another one about fitting in: th-cam.com/video/EvmLXjrE1JI/w-d-xo.html
18 years old is like nothing, you will absolutelly find this too will pass.
Birdyroxas Hey, how r u doing now? Hope all is well with u
Watching this brought me to tears. The message is so beautiful and touches the heart. "How you perceive yourself is the most important part of the happiness picture." I tend to think badly of myself, and knowing that others have surpassed this stage gives me so much inspiration to also see myself in a different light. Thank you...
Vina Seeker I'm here. Let me know if there are any videos I can make to assist your journey. :) In my book, Awakening with Arathi Ma, I talk about this type of feeling that used to be in me, I take you step by step through my process and show you the wonderful things that happened along the way. :)
***** Thank you! The book will definitely be a great help. :) I think my recent depressions are mostly caused by the "failed attempts" to get there, to be awakened. Whenever I try to allow what is, my own insecurities just fight to resurface and then I get caught up in them; and once I realize that, I end up thinking "I knew I can never get things right" or "I'm such a loser" or anything negative I could come up with. I get the concept of how the mind can be your worst enemy sometimes (or rather, most of the time). And also, since last year, I've been discovering some ways of overcoming the mind's workings. But to me, in actual situations, applying those techniques - and failing at it - gives rise to even more suffering. I don't know, it's like a large tornado of what I'm currently doing and what I'm supposed to be doing. And everything in its way gets caught in the spin. Thus, I'm lost. But because of the sign (video) you created, I'm beginning to see a direction. And I know I can learn a lot more after reading your own journey. :) Again, I thank you for just... being. Keep spreading the love.
Thank you so much for share this video with us. For share your knowledge with us. Seriously I feel so bad about myself and everything is going bad but I'll see this video as many time as I can because I need to remind myself that I don't need others in order to be happy. I'm in so much pain and suffering right now and I try so hard to be okay but it doesn't work. But thank you again. You're wonderful.
😊
Aldana gonzaalez be strong :) god bless
This has been the story of my life.
I have no family to speak of and am alone for the gift of my animals who love me.
Thanks so much for this vid
My eyes teared up as soon as he started talking
Same
I am alone most of the time it's kinda hard for me to find peace but since I been alone I had time to work on myself and become smarter then the people around me
Thanks for the video, tears in my eyes watching it.
welshhibby truth creates a pretty great feeling inside. Glad to see that you're resonating with it. :)
I loved what you said about how we only need to "be" and that should be sufficient. I feel like in this world the first thing people do is "scan" you to then figure you out and decide if you are worthy. But you´re right, we are worthy already, we just have to think more times about that thought, It´s wonderful thought. You know I had to restart my life and I´m not so young and sometimes I feel surrounded by people that have so much more than I do, that´s when I have to tell myself "no one is judging you, stay in peace"
Hi.. I lately feel even more depress and troubled... I feel hopeless and very sad.. I just can't get out yet... I feel no happiness and I'm desperate to get out but i feel like I've already given up...
+Mich Sal yeah that can happen but it won't always be this way. 😊 Suffering sometimes has a way of convincing you otherwise though. Don't believe it. And if you wish to speed things along, start a mantra or meditation practice.
Thanks Jason. I will very soon. By the way, I've seen lots of videos about this and it seems that yours is kinda different. Thanks
Yes. I'm not approaching it from a "fixing" point of view, but more of a way of you falling into who you truly are.
i guess thats my problem... i really don't know... anyway... i know lots of us suffer from this... but really I'm having a trouble esp when there are a lot of obstacles... i guess i just have to harden up just like my partner says
it's not really about "hardening up." It's more about softening into it, without an opinion of it. This allows the energy to do what it is meant to without your input. This brings the heart into the matter and the heart always knows what to do. :)
This is exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your light and insights on this topic! I watched this last night before I went to bed. I was feeling really horrible yesterday, lost, sad, confused but this video helped me remember who I am. I am trying to be like others instead of me or am seeking for approval which is causing a lot of problems and judgments towards myself.
I watched your videos and Thank you for your wisdom and words.I am so lost in my life I feel like I'm going crazy. Nobody is listening to what I'm saying or how I feel.I'm 26 yrs old and married.I have been married for 8 yrs no kids and I'm happy with my husband.We both never really had a great childhood and we are doing the best that we can together. I don't have no family don't want to contact them and as friends go.I walked away from my BFF just 2 weeks ago;because of to much drama.I honestly don't know if I want friends.I need to focus on myself. I have this lost feeling when I look into the mirror at myself and try to understand why I feel this why.All I do is cry and cry some more. I have so much love to give and when I do I get knocked right back down.When I need someone its always like I'm too busy, or you're too clingy.I am so lost in myself I don't know what to do..I don't want to talk to people or I don't want to go out.I have alot going on in my life.I am just lost within my self.I have no self-confidence in myself at all.What should I do?I'm have talk to doctors and nothing works it like I'm a problem for them. Everyone tells me to move forward and move on. Grown-up they say.How can you grow up if nobody ever showed you? I have lived,seen alot in my life but I am not happy with life.I'm happy to be married to the man i truly love.I feel like Im pushing him alway because I can't feel happy with in myself.
What is wrong with me?
+Tabitha Cooper You are looking to a relationship with others to fulfill you rather than a relationship with yourself. The feeling of love that you crave cannot be found in another person, but it is found only in yourself. It is found beyond the mind which consists of thoughts of "shoulds" and "should nots." It is found beyond your judgement of what you feel. You need to surrender to what is happening inside of you, rather than looking on the outside to fix it. You will never find the solution to it, because there is no NEED of a solution. What is happening is perfect. You just need to let it be rather than trying to fix it.
Thank you so much!!!
Truly am greatful for your words..Love your videos!!!
Tabitha Cooper I know, that's why I answered. :) Apply some of the things I'm suggesting in the videos. I have about 200 of them now. I will make more as well--if you have a question and I don't have a video, I will make one for you. You will be fine :) The truth is, there's nothing wrong with you, you just have to learn how to be with what's happening inside.
Yes, I will definitely apply some of the things that you said in the video. No questions at this moment. Thank you because I feel like I'm going crazy..I needed to here that.
So true, satisfying others, faking we are what they feel confortable with us being and playing the game, becomes an absurdity. Some family and friends leave us in the process of becoming ourselves, is part of the price. With time, it matters less and as you say J.Gallant, we discover that we are happy. Gee, you're so wise!
+Love Always dear soul, many thanks for directing me to these comments......as you say...it is heartening to know I am not alone. +JasonJGallant I am so glad to have found you, your videos are invaluable , helping on my (just begun) journey of spiritual enlightenment. You exude spirit, soul, calm and self -belief.........so uplifting and comforting, thank you for your wonderful work✨✨
Kathy Sproat,Always be happy ok😊😊😊😊🤙
Thank you for sharing your encouragement. The gentle soul is often the most hurt soul. Live your truth and never doubt that you have strength to be yourself.
Thank you so much for this wisdom. It's truly exactly what I needed to hear
God bless you for this...I've been condemning myself for feeling like I want to die and wishing that I was never born. You just flipped those feelings into a good thing, and it makes the urge to act on them less!!!
The thing is, when you are in the position of the only hope by many people & your family.
life just take over your habits and mind sets. stress, depressed and lonely complement each other till it draws the life out of you, when achievement no longer matters.
Even a number 1 has its previous number, which is 0.
Where 0 is God him self, true inner peace can only come from 0.
On the other hand, a digit would not be alive without the sequence of number, which leads to 2,3,4 till 9...
What suffers me the most, is that i have few this digits 2 to 9, which i can never show my emotions or weakness to them, cause then their perspective hope will change, and now that i don't even know, who i am anymore, there is so much things at stakes for me to change who i am anymore. At the end, i am still a human. There's just not enough pure love anymore in this world. 1 has to benefits in order to gain another.
i am just so sad right now. cause it is the truth of our world right now.
I love your honesty Jason and what you say makes sense. Thank you :)
Thank U for that! I needed that today! Bless u for ur gift and being who u are! I’m gonna pick Myself up from this day forward and let nothing and no one knock me down again!
Your words are so amazing , made me think differently xx
Thank you so much my friend. “Stop trying to be successful in the eyes of another person”..... needed to hear this
Garnet Sunset shut up.
Whatever you said in this video, you spoke about my existence, but I still feel and believes that a lot of fight is left in me to not fall. So what nobody likes me, there are others who loves and cares about me just for them I will live, I am working on whatever it takes to keep myself busy. Maybe someday I will get unending happiness.. Till then peace out!
Thank you so much for this video. You just said everything I needed to hear.
Wow. This guy has got to have some gift. His is such a powerful message. I've been looking for hours, days,weeks, months for a TH-cam video that could resonate with my isolation and depression (waiting for diagnosis of bipolar) I'm lost, lonely and disconnected more and more this past year or so. I'm in my 40s, feel useless, no ambition anymore,no desire,just lost, lonely and as much as want to be left alone to just ...wait for the day when things look bright,...I still need validation. I lost touch with friends, my (large) family of brothers and sisters (all in 50s with families of their own) don't talk to me or I to them and they hardly to each other. I want the optimism and hope that I feel sure was there when I was a kid. I wish I could be happy. Alternatively I wish I could live with a semblance of comfort in my sadness and disconnection.
I have no kids, don't see much of nieces and nephews. I've sabotaged relationships with women who were good women but I walked away because I could never be just me.
Living with depression (possibly bipolar illness) is hard. You want to be left alone but feel every single day that you should join in with life and reconnect.
Try some breathing techniques. They're amazing for getting the prana to move. I have one video called the Bellows Breath. A few minutes of that shifts your state drastically
This is powerful thank you.
Thank you for these beautiful, kind words, and great reminders! It is very soothing to my sould to hear your message! ❤
you saved my life you know that
No, I didn't, but I'm glad you're here :)
I tend to over complicate everything when I have a bad day in order to solve depressive thoughts and life problems, but my analytical search for meaning and happiness is more often making it worse than it is helping me - especially if I am searching alone.
Reaching out and being honest about your worries and feelings can be difficult, but I get stuck with my own depressive perspectives on things while others can help me finding new once. I really liked what you said about "approval being a never ending game" - thank you for giving me this new perspective :)
I've not see anyone in weeks except strangers in the grocery store. It's tough being 55 and alone. I don't even know how to begin to change my lonely life. If I wasn't my mother's only living child, I'd be outta here!
Dede Vaughn I’m in the same boat . Same age too . Empty nest . Single , when all my friends are married ....I feel like I’m lost with no direction .
Dede Vaughn,So sad to hear that you are alone!
Such an enlightening message, Jason. I'm about turning 40 yrs old in a few days and I see myself in a complete existential crisis right now. I'm completely unsatisfied with everything in my life now that after a few years maturing the idea, I finally made the decision of quitting my job and travel in order to find my true self and get rid of this fake being that society turned me into. Thank you so much for making that video and let me know, I'm not alone.
+Rosane Lima think of it this way. The spiritual journey takes conditional happiness and evolves it in a higher state of unconditional happiness. In the end, no matter where you go, you are always with you. And in you is where it will be found. :)
I am depressed because I am being in a middle of nowhere. My own family is beating me for who I am until it got to me now. I've been fighting all my life and I just feel tired. Really really tired .. I donno what got to me but I doubt I am having a nervous breakdown... I am usually stronger but I assume I depleted my energy levels
Jason I’ve been watching your videos and following the mantras it has really been shifting my mind. I have been perpetuating my own suffering for the past few years out of fear of the future, other people’s options, my own perceptions etc. Thank you for your work it has been helping me cope with my created suffering
My entire life i believed that feeling alone can never happen to me but i have been recently felt it and it sucks. Any suggestions ?
+Raul Gonzalez watch my other videos. They may help:)
I want to thank you for this message I was I a really low state where I felt like happiness and joy didn't exist. But now I'm slowly but surely finding myself again! I know that I really need to love myself before anything and the rest will follow.
ashley daniels Make sure you subscribe and tune into the other videos. They will assist you with your self discovery! I'm so glad I could offer a small measure of help. I know what it's like. I wrote about the beginnings of my journey that started years ago in my journey years ago. I started in this place exactly. :) It was the largest blessing of my life.
hey man all I could say is I respect you for this bro cause I am also going through all this same stuffs and most of the times I feel like if no girls like me like when I go out sometimes they dont even look at me at all and it makes me feel like if im ugly or whatever.....but its ok man this video really helped me alot and changed my mind into a very different person from sadness I when through happiness now cause thanks to you you open my eyes more and show me that we could be happy in our own self and not necessarily to be someone who we are not you show me now how to be happy in my own way bro thank you alot im a whole new me now :)
Glad I could help. It's normal to go through what you're going through. Don't worry. Happiness will find you 😊
I'm not depressed, but probably near to it and I realize this words are very helpful and sweet to hear in such a painful moment of deep loneliness, pain and sadness, especially when you seek for some love that you can't even give anymore.
Thank you deeply!
How do I find out who I am and what I'm supposed to be doing??
There is no supposed to. :)
***** How do I find out who I am?
You already are it. When you stop thinking, it is just there.
only time can tell
JasonJGallant I can’t stop thinking. I wish I could feel this peace, this happiness you talk about, but I don’t feel it. I feel miserable. And lonely. And I’m tormented by my thoughts. Have been for years...I think it’s just never gonna happen for me.
Wise words! I need to let go of all the hate... especially towards myself; that is the wellspring from where it all begins.
feeling down.......I'm being stalked.......can't have Facebook. .....don't have many friends.....only on Google. ......things are really unfair sometimes. .....and there's no one to ask fr help .
Getting into that flow....thank you friend
I feel lonely cuz all of life I've been thr alot of abuse. I feel depressed just thinking about it and and wondering if life would hv been different?? I met this one guy. he was the nicest guy in the world. we've know each over 2 years. after a while he stop calling. I feel like he disappointed me when I trusted him so much. Now I'm back to square one. the one who got dumped!! Sincerely. Purple Rain? ;(
50 seconds in and I’m already choked and holding back tears 😥
Diamonds and Fireworks,Be happy always ok 😊
i am 23 and i feel like i wasted my life and i hvae no longer right to be alive and i dont want to.
Same here :(
You have time to make changes. Don't quit. You are going to hit slumps here and there. Just find something u like to do even if it is only for a short amount of time during the week.
I think I just found my guardian angel. I've been going through some difficult pain recently and Jason is leading me out of the darkness, one step at a time. I wish I could give him a hug and thank him in person.
+Etigress :)
Hey respect to you bro! :'D
Vladimir Krstic thanks! Back to you too.
Thank you for this. I feel that I don't really fit into the society. From this video I've learnt that feeling so is ok. I have always been a weirdo since childhood. But I have tried A LOT to please people all along my life for acceptance, not really caring about what the child inside me really needs. I have hurt myself. I have failed myself more than anybody else. I let wrong people into my life.I have made wrong career decisions to please my parents. I have fucked up my life just to fit into this society. Now I don't feel anything. I'm numb all the time. My eyes don't express any feeling. The child inside me is gone. I'm grateful for my health,wellness, my parents. Yet, I'm lost. Truly lost.I don't remember the last time when I was happy. It's hard to live amidst expectations set by society. I hope to live a life where I'm ok with being myself completely, not living in fear. Every single minute of my life I'm driven by fear, anxieties. I can't even cry anymore. Tears don't come. It's like sadness consumed me.
i am so depressed because i need someone like a girlfriend were i can share happynis with..
Same,
I have never fully experienced a real couple relationship. I'm 23 years old...I have never went out on a date.
I keep thinking that I am too unattractive and put myself down because of that. So I don't even bother flirting with a girl. Just talk. And that's it.
I've never been in a relationship, never kissed someone, it is too scary.
but im too ugly to be dated i guess, it makes me feel very alone.
***** thank you so much for this help
I think a lot of people struggle with this but don't dare to admit it. I have felt really sad because I thougt that I would never be good enough for someone, that I was ugly and so on. But you need to get past that and focus on yourself instead of focusing on other people.
+Hannah Dax hi
I keep this video saved just for nights like tonight. I haven't watched it in a long time, but I needed this so much tonight. Thank you Jason. I didn't want to be here again, but there is beauty in the brokenness.
You'll be good. Just hold on to divine , God, whatever you address the source energy as. Omnipresent is always with you
How are you doing today?
@@ismailmiah1446 I am well today and thankful for that.
@@tarasgarden1 how did you deal with it at the time of your lowest point
@@ismailmiah1446 I reminded myself that it's ok to be in the dark place and I don't have to fight my way out of it. There's a belief that we shouldn't be there and guilt about it can compound the feelings. Any door I can find to loving myself while I'm in that state is where I go.
th-cam.com/video/O97177_jlrc/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13puhdxdt2ucnlj104cevwjru20d5irx4g
I felt so sad but the kindness in Jason's voice helped me feel some peace about myself. Its so hard to get through this. At least this is a start for peace inside. Thank you for your compassion and kindness.
you talk like you are on strong antidepressants
+Soiseiseke no drugs here. Just meditation and awareness.
+JasonJGallant i think that is a compliment
To TH-cam algorithm, please push this video to more people. This is powerful and wholesome
thank you Jason! I felt with years of depression but now I feel just loneliness but I don't want that I want to look up to success because I believe I'm stronger then what I was. for the wrong person I was when I had a bad past I feel like everything deserves a purpose but I just want people to know my standing grounds not just past but I want them to see everything even my future as we all grow in this type of society. because I'm different like very one else!
this has helped me. I've recently separate from who I thought was the love of my life. both of our kids were involved alot. I've been feeling down. I also stopped drug use....hoping to better myself because I want more out of life....and in doing so I've quickly found out friends seem to be only a convenience. With it all I've felt I'm traveling a road all on my own. Sometimes I even wonder if it will all be worth it. When you said the failures are just a way to success...it resonated with me. I hope it is true...no matter what form of success. I suppose the most rewarding things in life do not come easy.
This is exactly what I’m going through and this message spoke volumes
you have something so deep in your eyes and in the way you talk... I'm crying! Thank you a lot for this words!!
Ah, so good that in the first 2 minutes you said exactly how I feel. I was grieving then I got stuck in denial. I feel exhausted. Thank you for this video.
