You really posted this at the perfect time. I've been going through a time at school where I'm so confused with my friendships because of my constant overthinking and inability to trust others. And at the same time there are so many problems I'm facing with my family as well. This has resulted in me being afraid of being alone. And even in school when my friends don't hang with me I feel like I'm all alone and that people are making fun of me for being lonely. It's actually really hard especially because it's high school which is filled with drama.
1. You have a good friend or two 0:35 2. You have people you can get help from 1:09 3. You have people who can give you advice 1:42 4. You can talk about your hobbies and interests 2:11 5. You have people you regularly check in with 2:42 6. You’re careful about who you let in 3:23 Hope this helps. Stay strong everyone.
That moment where you realised the person you trusted the most and the only one you can get help from is nowhere near you and is in completely different(or even better) condition than you-
1. I currently have no friends 2. My co-workers 3. My supervisor 4. None 5. Rarely. 6. The last friend I had violated what little trust I had left so I had to move on
I wish this wasn't the case, but I honestly feel worse after watching this. I used to have a very small amount of people that I could be open with but they've stopped talking to me or got too busy with their own lives to respond when I reach out. Not to mention the fact that I can never talk to anyone about the things I'm passionate about because I get ignored as soon as I bring any of it up. It feels like I literally have no one left in my life, and no matter how hard I try, nothing changes and I just end up hurting myself more by putting myself out there.
Yeah, this just plain made me feel worse. I don't have a single close friend, my family is distant and untrustworthy, I have zero people who I can go to for advice, nobody ever checks in on me, and I don't even have any acquaintances who share my interests. Whenever I hear someone say "you are not alone" in one way or another, it always feels like they're blatantly lying to me.
Same. I'm often the one reaching out to others, but then they get busy or just don't respond. I don't have shared interest with most, if I try to get advice from others I get some sort of reply like "🤷🏻♀️ whatever you want". If I ask someone if they want to go somewhere or do something with me, it feels like I'm asking for a favor that they feel pretty neutral about
I can so much identify with this because I've never had friends, I've never been in a relationship, and I can't leave the house unless I'm buying something for my parents. I'm 17 and I often find myself talking to myself because I'm so afraid to be myself, but I know I'll make it through because of you and your wonderful videos. psych2go
Stay strong, if u think you dont have will, youre wrong. Loneliness takes a lot of strength to face. Edit: Girl.....I do wonder whats happening in that head to be stuck in place and not changing.
Aww I am 17 too and although it's been hard to NOT feel alone the past couple of weeks and even now it's hard but am trying my best to NOT let the negative thoughts get the best of me instead I am trying to be more grateful and more appreciative of the people that I do have in my life and this helps me to feel a little more better about myself and gives me a little more courage to communicate with other people and make new friends (I am a very shy person), I hope your life will become alot easier and better for you as soon as possible 💞💞🌺🌺I hope this little response/ advice helps you in the long run🥰 also if you ever need someone to talk to, I don't mind being that someone so feel free to contact me whenever you like🌺 I'll be happy to help :)
I'm 16 and this is exactly my situation. No friends, rarely allowed to go out, don't go to school. People do say it will get better though and although I havent experienced that hopefully it will happen for both of us 💕
I used to despise being alone when I was in highschool. I didn't like myself and knew being alone meant I'd have to be with someone I didn't like. But as I got older and learned to like myself, I learned that being alone with yourself can be quite an intimate experience. Learning more of who you are when no ones looking and strengthening your relationship with yourself. Being alone and feeling lonely are two different things. Love u guys💖
i dont fear it anymore, i am made by it, caused by it, and lost from it. i have lost a few best friends, all the other friends dont know or doesnt rly care that much, almost everyone that helped me left me, i lost every single friend this year. My love ones either dont understand part of me or never knew that dark side of mine this video taught me that i am more lonely than i taught, lonelier than i used to be, isolating myself alot, not being able to do much about the environment.
I love how all of the people that are commenting here describe their own experience of loneliness. And regardless of how different our experiences are, we all share the same common feeling of what's it like to feel completely alone. Just like how different our struggles and sufferings may be, in the end we all share the same common feeling of what it feels like to suffer in pain.
I REALLY needed this! I’ve been going through a really rough time at work lately that’s been making me doubt myself as a whole (my Asperger’s and ADHD tends to do that) and I’ve just been failing like a failure lately because I keep making the same mistakes over and over again no matter how hard I try not to, but seeing this has given me a small amount of comfort. Some is better than nothing. Whenever I’ve been seriously doubting pretty much any aspect about myself, your videos have always been very helpful. Thank you Psych2Go
TW ⚠️ i always feel lonely. in 1st and 2nd grade I had a bunch of fake friends. it wasn't a good impression during my childhood, and it's led me to become a broken, depressed preteen who thinks she's stupid. i have memories of watching a boy fall down on concrete; his head was bleeding, blood spilled out of his mouth. i also remember hanging out with people and them just ignoring me and walking away, and not being invited to a birthday party because the girl claimed, "there weren't enough chairs." if anyone is going through something similar to this right now, walk away from them. if they don't want to give you the love you deserve, don't hang out with them. after i stopped doing online school and moved schools, i was much happier. (and still am to this day though much more stressed) anyways, if you read all the way to the end, thank you! i really hope my past experiences help someone overcome what they're going through right now.
I absolutely love my friends, even more than i love my family. Like a good friend of mine said: You can't choose the family that you are born into, but friends are the family you can choose on your own ❤
I’m in my early 30’s now, and I’ve never felt more alone than I do this year. Thank you for this. I still feel lonely, but this video helped me a little bit.
As someone who suffers with Agoraphobia. Loneliness is a feeling I feel more. Especially when you add depression to the Agoraphobia. Not leaving home. So I needed this video today to help me. ❤
Some people were lonely before watching this, and so was I. And others probably felt better after watching this than before. Not me. If anything, it only helped me realize I'm more alone than I thought I was. I really don't have anyone I can TRULY trust. And my community is kinda like "either we were best friends growing up, or you need to stop talking to me immediately." So I can't just go and make friends. I do have a few friends, but I'm not close enough to anyone, even my closest family members, to share much of anything about myself. Edit: I should mention that I have been diagnosed with ADHD in the past, and there's a chance that I have BPD too. That's undiagnosed, but if I do have it, it's pretty severe. So I have that going for me. hooray...
Christmas is bittersweet for me. I usually slowly walk down busy shopping streets a day before christmas, seeing all the hurrying people, while having none of the stress myself, makes me calm. Haven't talked to my parents in almost a decade, friends are busy, so I celebrate by lighting a single candle and being thankful I'm still alive after all that happened.
There are 3 types of people who watch these videos 1. People who actually have problems 2. Emos who think their depressed 3. Kids who like the narrator’s voice
I'm 29 and the only friend I have is imaginary. No one calls, no one texts, no one emails and no knows me well enough to notice any change in my personality. Everybody seems to busy with the friends they already have. Its like being a park bench. Your just there as part of the surroundings. No one notices and no one cares untill they need you. And then you are forgotten about again.
Loneliness is a virtue, like any "bad" thing it makes people move and do right things. As example It's not pleasure to eat food because it's delicious, but because it's solving the dangerous and painful hunger. Pain gives purpose to life, not pleasure.
Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone. Each time you said about these person, some particular person came in my mind and I realized that I'm not alone, I just make myself feel alone but I'm not. Thank you for making these video and helping me (people like me). I truly appreciate your hard work.
Hello psych2go! If you read this I just wanna say thank you for giving a lot of tips, I keep feeling that my mental health and depression is getting better just by listening to your advice. It changed a lot in my life in a good way and I'm grateful I found some like you all. Also seeing others here listening to your advice makes it feel more comfortable and it's nice reading how others are doing, there are of course bad times but talking about it or taking advice is the thing I saw a lot reading just the comments, it's lovely, how people still wanna help others even tho they don't know each other. I thank you all❤
Can I just say that, aside from the useful and supportive content, these videos always have the sweetest, cutest _animations._ They really convey emotions well, and the artist(s) and animator(s) deserve kudos. Sometimes they bring out _my_ emotions, and for example make me say "aww" for the sad-looking character on the screen. Other times they make me smile or even chuckle, like the pizza delivery guy at 4:04 with the pizza slice on his hat. 🍕😄 In that same scene, by the way, I love the friend sitting with the isolated friend and saying "pizza's on the way." ❤
That last one hit me hard - I find it hard to let people in from past experiences, so when I do its a big thing but I know we've got each others backs from then on. Timing of the video is perfect as today's been a lonely feeling day
in the past year I came out, lost all but 1 friend, I was kicked out of my VR community, I’ve been used and blocked by 3 women, a few of my managers at work harass me, I tried to get therapy but I just get left on hold or they never return my calls, the few friends I have made don’t feel as close as the ones I lost, and I wish someone loved me in a romantic way, I constantly get into fights with my family, and whenever I try and get close to anyone my anxiety ruins it, I get tired of being told one day I’ll find someone and spend my days off work just laying in bed, I’m always lonely…
Wow you nailed it with this video. Im definitely feeling the loneliness here at home (I live alone). I shut everyone out my life because I trust NO ONE i been betrayed way too many times from family members down to best friends lol nope absolutely not never again ! Rather be lonely atleast im at peace. Im getting closer to God and learning more about him as well. Im realizing it had to be some changes in my life. Thank you for this video you guys really help people out here and for that I will ALWAYS support yall. Happy holidays 🎄 🎁 🎅
In my case, it’s very difficult, my relationship of 5 years ended this year. My closest friend however has their own relationship which was me and my ex partners couple friends Since my relationship ended it felt like I couldn’t trust them anymore as my ex still maintains a friendship with them, and I’ve barely heard from them, I can’t trust nor see or speak to them and because my ex drove a wedge between us Not having my closest friend around makes my healing process harder and my other friends are all in relationships with some having children, I’m the only single one without children and I feel left behind now. I don’t know where to go next in my life and it’s hard to accept, I’ve never had my heart broken and the pain is still there
My Best Friend, Peters, is the only one helping me through this time in my life & I'll forever appreciate him. He's the brother I never had & I hope I'll be half as good a friend as he's been to me.
Reminding yourself that you're not as alone as you think can be a helpful tool. That said, pushing back on loneliness with logic can sometimes feel as useful as telling yourself that you get enough food when you're really hungry, or that you get enough sleep when you're getting more tired by the moment; the feeling you're fighting is telling you something contrary to what you're trying to convince yourself of. I usually find I have better luck distracting myself from a feeling until it subsides than trying to debate my brain into shutting the feels off.
Thanks you very much for this video Pysh2go ! I was afraid to be alone or ending alone but this video gave me hope and courage to be positive. As a french person, it's sometimes difficult to understand mental health because it doesn't seems important in France, and there is less help so thanks you very much (it the same for trauma)
What I learned in this life: if you feel that nobody needs you, it is usually because there is one specific person who does not need you and you feel that you need them. It is an illusion. There are so many lonely people right on the same block, so much work that needs your hands, so many children who need a teacher. Volunteering is ALWAYS there and so many people NEED our company. It is all about that one person, every time.
Right as "Has this helped you realize you're not as alone as you thought you are?" played, one of my friends messaged me, and I feel that happy that makes you wanna cry. I love the friends I have chosen to surround myself with. Thank you, Psych2Go.
I was lonely all throughout my 20's until i experienced some sort of enlightenment at 30, now im comftable being alone, no longer lonely etc, it was all God.
Do not accept the company of people who feign friendship for the purpose of betrayal. Better to be alone! It is important above nearly all else, excepting creature comforts, to know how to be a friend & then friendship will follow. How to be a friend? Good question!
It's sad, in a room full of people, I disappear outside or into a different room, no one notices. I don't want birthdays or holidays to have any focus on me. I hate Father's Day so much. My kids attempt to do something, but I don't want it or anything. Next year, I plan to leave for the week and do my best to forget the day exists. Even in a room focused on me, I am alone with a fake smile and fake appreciation for a faked "you're a great dad," which I am not.
i had a mental breakdown that made me leave college at the beginning of the school year and move back home and commute. i’ve gotten back on meds but i can’t bring myself to move back to school. i love my parents and i feel safe here, and i know my life exists beyond this but it makes me want to have an anxiety attack. i wish i wanted to go back to living at school but i’m terrified and i think it’s because of loneliness. i feel embarrassed to feel this attached to my parents as a 20 year old but i know it’s because of the traumatic mental experience i had while alone. it’s almost like i can imagine living here forever because it feels safe but i know that’s not healthy, i need to grow up. please share if you’ve had a similar situation! it can be isolating, people don’t understand where i’m coming from when i say i’m scared
Hey. I’m 22 and never had an education to speak of but I love being in my home with my mum and sister. I agree with you there is more to life than being safe and comfortable but that can happen gradually. For me I just got a decent job and will start driving to places to see new things then eventually travel for longer periods. We all have our own pace plus I didn’t go to college over anxiety so I can completely relate to you
Thank you for this! A little hope to watch in the calm evening. But indeed I am a lonely wolf and the only person I could ever count on is my mom. The rest always failed and made me feel bad about it. Maybe someday I will finally meet proper persons in my life. Would be nice. Have a nice day or evening everyone.
Hi Psych2Go, I just wanted to say i've been watching you for ariund 5/6 months now, words can't express how much you've helped me in situations. Recently i found out my best friend didn't like me and talks trash about me behind my back, I was feeling so down at that moment, i tried to recall what we were doing to maoe sure i didn't hurt their feelings. My friend said that my best friend thinks that i don't like them which is not true at all. I can't believe it, i did so much for them, I was there for her when no one else were, yet she decided to take the wrong road. Please, everyone who's reading this don't have negative thoughts about people because maybe deep down you're the one who's wrong in the situation. Hope this helped.
I have grown use to my loneliness... I have one friend that has been in my life for 33 years, we talk occasionally and I feel good afterwards. In recent years, the past 10 - 12, people have become my friend but they fade into the ether once we are not working together anymore. Even after we part ways and I continue to try and reach out to them. But my one friend has always been there for me and I've been there for him. Your videos are great and I love watching them... I share them with people that I think would help. :)
I have always been alone because I am Aspie and people thought isolation was beneficial for me. I would not say so. Of course I like spending time on my own as it is important for everyone. But, however, I have noticed it is far more beneficial to spend some time with other people.
Let's talk about the moon as it's always alone but still shine.. You've always been there even for people who have died decades ago. You're a great listener, you're beautiful in every shape and sphere You're an amazing friends, you hold many secrets for many people around the world You're the light in the darkness and in everything you are and do, You never ask for anything so why would one not love you.
I’ve got used to loneliness as i enter another Christmas time alone. I sit drinking wine watching videos on TH-cam or movies on tv. Shedding the odd tear but that’s life 🥹
I have always only had one or two friends at a time because it is hard to find people who share the same core beliefs as me and I like to be able dedicate more time to them. Being homeschooling in high school at the moment makes it hard to meet people as well as find good people my age. I really don't think I know anyone I am close enough to who I would share my personal problems with except my family.
I've been lonely, well, the feeling of being lonely started in high school 9th grade. But I did had "friends" during growing up that time period but looking back I subjected them as not "friends" just A.I.s but There was one friend I had since 5th grade but that bridged burned up cause I was going through drvgz like Fentanyl to ignore the fact of how my life turned out to be. Lost the only friend I knew was a brother to me. I wish I could take back everything I did during my tweaker days but I'm 2 years and 3 months sober off Fentanyl and I'm much better person and did learned alot and understand the value of friendship. But sadly, I got no one to show how much I understand. Now I don't think "online friends" as "friends" I would rather have "in person" friends, but that's just my opinion. But anywho loneliness with friends or not is what I felt. Now I'm here 24 and seeing people I grew up with getting their careers and cars and life they wanted that I remember them telling me growing up in class and such. Idk why I'm telling you all this. I'm just a lost cause I'm hopeless. I'll be quite honest I don't see a future in my 30s and when I think about my 40s it's a pitch black screen and when I see my 50s it's probably my grave cause I have a heart attack condition runs on my dad's side of the family and I get easily angry,sad, irritated alot so at this point I don't even care about my well being and looking up research how loneliness and depression can shorten one's life by 15 years and lead to increase heart disease and dementia. Sad to say, I really want this to happen. Oh, and I saw a video about how starting life in your 30s is too late when it comes to financial issues and love life issues. Yea, I'm hopeless and worthless. Idc at this point. As I said before only way I'll be happy again and get my life together is if I win the lottery and never look back or say goodbye to my family or that one girl will save me from this household and get my grip together from her help. But sadly, reality as it is both scenarios is not going to happen. So thus again, I'm just a "ghost," and I see myself that. 💯
I recently got broken up with it was already long distance and I don't have many outside friends to distract me or keep me busy so i just have to sit with this... I'm grateful for what i do have but man i miss her
I nearly tear myself from hearing this, even if I don't have any friends close to my age, I have a family and their friends who still cares about me, thank you, Psy2Go
What if you truly have no friends you can rely upon? The only person I have that I can rely upon when I need to talk, is my therapist, and that's only once every other week. Anytime beyond that when I need to talk, I have nowhere to turn. :(
My best friend became a part of the fake, popular girls group at school and she completely changed. We used to talk every day, but we haven't had a real conversation in months now. We talked about it once and agreed to try to get our friendship back, and went skating once, but she is so fake now. Most of my other friends have shifted away too. I am starting to find new friends, but I am horrified of not being popular (which I now realize I was last year) and being part of a friend group that is considered weird by the popular ones. I am constantly anxious and become frustrated by anything because seeing my old friends having small talk with basically everyone except me is exhausting.
hi i have a video idea! maybe one about how to tell if you're an introvert or an extrovert with trauma? don't feel pressured to do it! love your guys' videos, have a nice day
Thanks for this video. I was feeling quite alone at the time I saw this; I've realised I just miss my family. But it's ok, because I'll see them soon ❣
@@Andrew-Johnson I've done this too, I guess he does not care about me as much as he cares about you, because he has nos answered my prayers; but I'm happy for you, mate, you´re one of the lucky ones.
@@Kevin-ox3db thy faith hath made thee whole. i work my way from bottom we are all the same He loves us all. i pray for you, you will feel it. God bless my sweet brother. i have this word from God, "He walketh by the wicked to abide the wicked to everyone." i am not so clever to think such things.
Friends you say, all of my friends betrayed me for being the teacher's daughter. They never saw me as a friend. And a girl, I trusted her so much... I really liked her company so much but one day, I told her to stop cursing(swearing) and she said "no I will not teaching work is your fathers not yours". I was devastated by how disrespectful she acted towards me and even bad-mouthed about my father. I just asked her to stop cursing and she started throwing cringe pick-up lines at me like she was the smartest of all. After this she started saying things like "you think I heart you but no I heart all my friends" like what in the world? She was straight-up emo with all of her words. She told all my friends that I made her parents scold her and yell at her badly. She even told my so-called bestfriend that I told everyone that she(my so-called bestfriend) yells at me, tortures me and all the things I couldn't even think of. THE GIRL I CALLED MY BESTIE LITERALLY TOOK SIDES WITH HER AND SHE NOW SEES ME AS THE POISON TO HER EYES. Seeing her face makes me want to slap her so hard that she goes falling into the floor... I hate her even more than that girl.
I felt exactly like this in September. I started little stupid drama with my friends at first cuz I felt like they didn't like me all that much, which wasn't true, but when that drama ended that month, one of friends started actual drama shit that I couldn't stand for the whole month of October, and my best friend kept sending that person screenshots of everything I said about them, and they thought I was talking shit about them behind their back (btw, these people aren't non-binary, I just don't wanna say the gender of my friends lol). All I was saying to my bestie was how I felt about this situation, and they turned there back on me. They weren't being mean, they just didn't know what to do with this. So the result of all of that had led to me being depressed and lonely that whole entire month. One of my friends broke off with me in the beginning because they believed the other one's story and didn't bother to ask for my side, and their friend who is also my friend, I ignored them cuz I was scared that they were gonna break it off and yell at me as well (the other friend sent a long message in a group chat with me and the other friend). But fast forward to today, I got the friend back that broke it off, their other friend I talk to again and am friends with after telling them my side, I'm not friends anymore with the one that started this shit, and I'm still besties with bestie 😁. This was really rough, and it was all during my marching band season!
Thank You all at Psych2Go. I ,as a young person ,did not see alone as an option growing up. Not that the quality of not being alone was that exceptional. Several year's later the alone time's are not as daunting as previously .For the last few years I have lived alone. The beloved pet's have gone ,the wife too. The vast difference between alone and lonely is a distinction that has been spotted in several aspects of living. To cross the two is cause to backtrack so as the meaning's don't lead to a confusion in term's, I possibly have over simplified the term's ,except in my life,at time's simplicity was the basis of understanding.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION AND VIDEO, I HAVE ALWAYS FELL LONELY, I HAVE VERY LITTLE FRIENDS, AND MY ABUSING PARENT, TELLS MY FAMILY NOT TO DEAL WITH ME, SO I STAY TO MYSELF. TEE GOD BLESS, HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE. TEE💯🙏
I’m lonely every single day that is part of why I’m crazy because I have no one in my life that’s why I need someone to love I relate to everything you mentioned
If you need someone to love to be happy, youre in the wrong path. Get comfortable with yourself first. Keep improving until youre ready for others if not, you could hurt quite badly someone.
@@MiriadCalibrumAstar I don't understand, why would a mentally hurt person hurt someone else even when they know how it feels like to be abandoned or disregarded? It's like saying it's wrong for someone who is depressed to find someone who will care about them.
In my life, I'm lonely . Because, I'm living in a depressed environment, everyone's around me are depressed and it's been killing me. And God, I feel the responsible to cure them but I give no damn cause I don't know psychology. But these stuffs makes me feeling like a failure. Every positive person I've seen, all of 'em are in the internet, it seems impossible to have me greeting with positive person. I'm left alone , and trying to make a plan to escape from this gdmn environment
After so many years of being a lone let a lone being single for 13 years you get use to it the thought of being with someone or talking to people scares me
I don't have anyone I feel safe around, or who I spend any time with. It is just day, after day, of sitting alone in my room, praying that I don't end up back at the hospital...
You really posted this at the perfect time. I've been going through a time at school where I'm so confused with my friendships because of my constant overthinking and inability to trust others. And at the same time there are so many problems I'm facing with my family as well.
This has resulted in me being afraid of being alone. And even in school when my friends don't hang with me I feel like I'm all alone and that people are making fun of me for being lonely.
It's actually really hard especially because it's high school which is filled with drama.
I'm suffering from the same situation too😭
Omg same lol
Same with me but the difference is that I don't have any friend cuz I'm never been able to make one
I feel the same I'm on my own right now feeling totally empty this time of year is supposed to be fun but I'm finding Christmas more lonely than ever
Me too 🙂
1. You have a good friend or two 0:35
2. You have people you can get help from 1:09
3. You have people who can give you advice 1:42
4. You can talk about your hobbies and interests 2:11
5. You have people you regularly check in with 2:42
6. You’re careful about who you let in 3:23
Hope this helps. Stay strong everyone.
thx
That moment where you realised the person you trusted the most and the only one you can get help from is nowhere near you and is in completely different(or even better) condition than you-
1. I currently have no friends
2. My co-workers
3. My supervisor
4. None
5. Rarely.
6. The last friend I had violated what little trust I had left so I had to move on
Thanks
leif pfp nice
I wish this wasn't the case, but I honestly feel worse after watching this. I used to have a very small amount of people that I could be open with but they've stopped talking to me or got too busy with their own lives to respond when I reach out. Not to mention the fact that I can never talk to anyone about the things I'm passionate about because I get ignored as soon as I bring any of it up. It feels like I literally have no one left in my life, and no matter how hard I try, nothing changes and I just end up hurting myself more by putting myself out there.
What are you passionate about?
same :/
Yeah, this just plain made me feel worse. I don't have a single close friend, my family is distant and untrustworthy, I have zero people who I can go to for advice, nobody ever checks in on me, and I don't even have any acquaintances who share my interests. Whenever I hear someone say "you are not alone" in one way or another, it always feels like they're blatantly lying to me.
I’m so sorry, you can talk ab your passions here I would love to hear about them :)
Same. I'm often the one reaching out to others, but then they get busy or just don't respond. I don't have shared interest with most, if I try to get advice from others I get some sort of reply like "🤷🏻♀️ whatever you want". If I ask someone if they want to go somewhere or do something with me, it feels like I'm asking for a favor that they feel pretty neutral about
I can so much identify with this because I've never had friends, I've never been in a relationship, and I can't leave the house unless I'm buying something for my parents. I'm 17 and I often find myself talking to myself because I'm so afraid to be myself, but I know I'll make it through because of you and your wonderful videos. psych2go
Stay strong, if u think you dont have will, youre wrong. Loneliness takes a lot of strength to face.
Edit: Girl.....I do wonder whats happening in that head to be stuck in place and not changing.
I hope things get better for you, and a lot of people online will be willing to just talk with you. If you wanted
You're literally me :)
Aww I am 17 too and although it's been hard to NOT feel alone the past couple of weeks and even now it's hard but am trying my best to NOT let the negative thoughts get the best of me instead I am trying to be more grateful and more appreciative of the people that I do have in my life and this helps me to feel a little more better about myself and gives me a little more courage to communicate with other people and make new friends (I am a very shy person), I hope your life will become alot easier and better for you as soon as possible 💞💞🌺🌺I hope this little response/ advice helps you in the long run🥰 also if you ever need someone to talk to, I don't mind being that someone so feel free to contact me whenever you like🌺 I'll be happy to help :)
I'm 16 and this is exactly my situation. No friends, rarely allowed to go out, don't go to school. People do say it will get better though and although I havent experienced that hopefully it will happen for both of us 💕
I used to despise being alone when I was in highschool. I didn't like myself and knew being alone meant I'd have to be with someone I didn't like. But as I got older and learned to like myself, I learned that being alone with yourself can be quite an intimate experience. Learning more of who you are when no ones looking and strengthening your relationship with yourself. Being alone and feeling lonely are two different things. Love u guys💖
i dont fear it anymore, i am made by it, caused by it, and lost from it.
i have lost a few best friends, all the other friends dont know or doesnt rly care that much, almost everyone that helped me left me, i lost every single friend this year.
My love ones either dont understand part of me or never knew that dark side of mine
this video taught me that i am more lonely than i taught, lonelier than i used to be, isolating myself alot, not being able to do much about the environment.
Why did it helped me realise that im really alone
I love how all of the people that are commenting here describe their own experience of loneliness. And regardless of how different our experiences are, we all share the same common feeling of what's it like to feel completely alone. Just like how different our struggles and sufferings may be, in the end we all share the same common feeling of what it feels like to suffer in pain.
I REALLY needed this! I’ve been going through a really rough time at work lately that’s been making me doubt myself as a whole (my Asperger’s and ADHD tends to do that) and I’ve just been failing like a failure lately because I keep making the same mistakes over and over again no matter how hard I try not to, but seeing this has given me a small amount of comfort. Some is better than nothing. Whenever I’ve been seriously doubting pretty much any aspect about myself, your videos have always been very helpful. Thank you Psych2Go
I’ve been feeling really alone lately, and I think it’s grown into a fear of mine. I needed this. Thank you ❤
The fact that you always make the type of video regarding to the issue I'm going through is amazing.
To everyone that find this comment, NEVER GIVE UP AND KEEP GRINDING.
I Love You And You Are Not Alone
I really needed this right now, I just lost a really important friend group and I've really felt awful, thank you.
As someone who has been lonely my entire life, this is the video I really need right now. And I love it! Thanks as always Psych2Go.

i always feel lonely. in 1st and 2nd grade I had a bunch of fake friends. it wasn't a good impression during my childhood, and it's led me to become a broken, depressed preteen who thinks she's stupid. i have memories of watching a boy fall down on concrete; his head was bleeding, blood spilled out of his mouth. i also remember hanging out with people and them just ignoring me and walking away, and not being invited to a birthday party because the girl claimed, "there weren't enough chairs." if anyone is going through something similar to this right now, walk away from them. if they don't want to give you the love you deserve, don't hang out with them. after i stopped doing online school and moved schools, i was much happier. (and still am to this day though much more stressed) anyways, if you read all the way to the end, thank you! i really hope my past experiences help someone overcome what they're going through right now.
I absolutely love my friends, even more than i love my family. Like a good friend of mine said: You can't choose the family that you are born into, but friends are the family you can choose on your own ❤
I’m in my early 30’s now, and I’ve never felt more alone than I do this year.
Thank you for this. I still feel lonely, but this video helped me a little bit.
Jesus loves you and is always with you
As someone who suffers with Agoraphobia. Loneliness is a feeling I feel more. Especially when you add depression to the Agoraphobia. Not leaving home. So I needed this video today to help me. ❤
Would walking with a pet help or having a stress ball or relating things seen outside with certain positives things 🤷♀️💁♀️
Some people were lonely before watching this, and so was I. And others probably felt better after watching this than before. Not me. If anything, it only helped me realize I'm more alone than I thought I was. I really don't have anyone I can TRULY trust. And my community is kinda like "either we were best friends growing up, or you need to stop talking to me immediately." So I can't just go and make friends. I do have a few friends, but I'm not close enough to anyone, even my closest family members, to share much of anything about myself.
Edit: I should mention that I have been diagnosed with ADHD in the past, and there's a chance that I have BPD too. That's undiagnosed, but if I do have it, it's pretty severe. So I have that going for me. hooray...
Don’t we all love a daily dose of watching Psych2Go?❤️
Yes
Yeah
Fr YES
Yea! I watch her every day!
Yep
How are you feeling as the holidays come closer?
Christmas is bittersweet for me. I usually slowly walk down busy shopping streets a day before christmas, seeing all the hurrying people, while having none of the stress myself, makes me calm. Haven't talked to my parents in almost a decade, friends are busy, so I celebrate by lighting a single candle and being thankful I'm still alive after all that happened.
Sad Christmas makes me more depressed it ain't fun for everyone
At 01:02 it shouldn't be QUALITY ❌ it should be QUANTITY ✔. It doesn't make any sense because what basically you're saying is QUALITY over QUALITY .
The best advice I've ever gotten:
"Whenever you feel like people might actually care about you, never forget that they don't".
Sad but so true 😕
Actually l always make myself remember this when l start to be too close to someone

They care to a certain extent
There are 3 types of people who watch these videos
1. People who actually have problems
2. Emos who think their depressed
3. Kids who like the narrator’s voice
so true
I'm 29 and the only friend I have is imaginary. No one calls, no one texts, no one emails and no knows me well enough to notice any change in my personality. Everybody seems to busy with the friends they already have. Its like being a park bench. Your just there as part of the surroundings. No one notices and no one cares untill they need you. And then you are forgotten about again.
This helps me understand more about loneliness, I’ve been nervous (and still am) about making new friends
I'm not afraid of being alone , I've been alone so long I'm just tired of it
Loneliness is a virtue, like any "bad" thing it makes people move and do right things.
As example It's not pleasure to eat food because it's delicious, but because it's solving the dangerous and painful hunger. Pain gives purpose to life, not pleasure.
Yeah I have before even if I’m always near my friends. I only really have two maybe 3 I trust but I only trust one the most
Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone. Each time you said about these person, some particular person came in my mind and I realized that I'm not alone, I just make myself feel alone but I'm not. Thank you for making these video and helping me (people like me). I truly appreciate your hard work.
Hello psych2go!
If you read this I just wanna say thank you for giving a lot of tips, I keep feeling that my mental health and depression is getting better just by listening to your advice. It changed a lot in my life in a good way and I'm grateful I found some like you all. Also seeing others here listening to your advice makes it feel more comfortable and it's nice reading how others are doing, there are of course bad times but talking about it or taking advice is the thing I saw a lot reading just the comments, it's lovely, how people still wanna help others even tho they don't know each other.
I thank you all❤
we all got this. sending much love
Can I just say that, aside from the useful and supportive content, these videos always have the sweetest, cutest _animations._ They really convey emotions well, and the artist(s) and animator(s) deserve kudos. Sometimes they bring out _my_ emotions, and for example make me say "aww" for the sad-looking character on the screen. Other times they make me smile or even chuckle, like the pizza delivery guy at 4:04 with the pizza slice on his hat. 🍕😄 In that same scene, by the way, I love the friend sitting with the isolated friend and saying "pizza's on the way." ❤
That last one hit me hard - I find it hard to let people in from past experiences, so when I do its a big thing but I know we've got each others backs from then on. Timing of the video is perfect as today's been a lonely feeling day
in the past year I came out, lost all but 1 friend, I was kicked out of my VR community, I’ve been used and blocked by 3 women, a few of my managers at work harass me, I tried to get therapy but I just get left on hold or they never return my calls, the few friends I have made don’t feel as close as the ones I lost, and I wish someone loved me in a romantic way, I constantly get into fights with my family, and whenever I try and get close to anyone my anxiety ruins it, I get tired of being told one day I’ll find someone and spend my days off work just laying in bed, I’m always lonely…
Wow you nailed it with this video. Im definitely feeling the loneliness here at home (I live alone). I shut everyone out my life because I trust NO ONE i been betrayed way too many times from family members down to best friends lol nope absolutely not never again ! Rather be lonely atleast im at peace. Im getting closer to God and learning more about him as well. Im realizing it had to be some changes in my life. Thank you for this video you guys really help people out here and for that I will ALWAYS support yall. Happy holidays 🎄 🎁 🎅
Praise Jesus He's amazing go all in for Him
In my case, it’s very difficult, my relationship of 5 years ended this year.
My closest friend however has their own relationship which was me and my ex partners couple friends
Since my relationship ended it felt like I couldn’t trust them anymore as my ex still maintains a friendship with them, and I’ve barely heard from them, I can’t trust nor see or speak to them and because my ex drove a wedge between us
Not having my closest friend around makes my healing process harder and my other friends are all in relationships with some having children, I’m the only single one without children and I feel left behind now.
I don’t know where to go next in my life and it’s hard to accept, I’ve never had my heart broken and the pain is still there
Watching this made me feel even more lonely
My Best Friend, Peters, is the only one helping me through this time in my life & I'll forever appreciate him. He's the brother I never had & I hope I'll be half as good a friend as he's been to me.
Reminding yourself that you're not as alone as you think can be a helpful tool. That said, pushing back on loneliness with logic can sometimes feel as useful as telling yourself that you get enough food when you're really hungry, or that you get enough sleep when you're getting more tired by the moment; the feeling you're fighting is telling you something contrary to what you're trying to convince yourself of. I usually find I have better luck distracting myself from a feeling until it subsides than trying to debate my brain into shutting the feels off.
Thanks you very much for this video Pysh2go ! I was afraid to be alone or ending alone but this video gave me hope and courage to be positive. As a french person, it's sometimes difficult to understand mental health because it doesn't seems important in France, and there is less help so thanks you very much (it the same for trauma)
few months ago, i felt a lot lonely and when I saw this one I realized its not. thank for sharing admin
What I learned in this life: if you feel that nobody needs you, it is usually because there is one specific person who does not need you and you feel that you need them. It is an illusion. There are so many lonely people right on the same block, so much work that needs your hands, so many children who need a teacher. Volunteering is ALWAYS there and so many people NEED our company.
It is all about that one person, every time.
church helped me and Jesus saves
Right as "Has this helped you realize you're not as alone as you thought you are?" played, one of my friends messaged me, and I feel that happy that makes you wanna cry. I love the friends I have chosen to surround myself with. Thank you, Psych2Go.
I have a fear of being alone, broke, disabled, homeless, and in prison. I am abused by all my family members as well. Terrible.
I’ve been there
I felt lonely until my phone rang it's a notification for your vudeo just the right time
Gotta love this channel and the community so much
Yep I'm definitely alone.
Jesus loves you and is always with you
Thank god I came to this video. For those of you loners out there. I would like to send my greatest days to you and ahead.
I've been out of a relationship for almost 2 years now, I can't help feeling a little lonely.
I was lonely all throughout my 20's until i experienced some sort of enlightenment at 30, now im comftable being alone, no longer lonely etc, it was all God.
Do not accept the company of people who feign friendship for the purpose of betrayal. Better to be alone! It is important above nearly all else, excepting creature comforts, to know how to be a friend & then friendship will follow. How to be a friend? Good question!
Can you see this comment? Please let me know. Thank you
GOOD MORNING FRIENDS and FAMILY.GOD BLESS
It's sad, in a room full of people, I disappear outside or into a different room, no one notices. I don't want birthdays or holidays to have any focus on me. I hate Father's Day so much. My kids attempt to do something, but I don't want it or anything. Next year, I plan to leave for the week and do my best to forget the day exists. Even in a room focused on me, I am alone with a fake smile and fake appreciation for a faked "you're a great dad," which I am not.
i had a mental breakdown that made me leave college at the beginning of the school year and move back home and commute. i’ve gotten back on meds but i can’t bring myself to move back to school. i love my parents and i feel safe here, and i know my life exists beyond this but it makes me want to have an anxiety attack. i wish i wanted to go back to living at school but i’m terrified and i think it’s because of loneliness. i feel embarrassed to feel this attached to my parents as a 20 year old but i know it’s because of the traumatic mental experience i had while alone. it’s almost like i can imagine living here forever because it feels safe but i know that’s not healthy, i need to grow up. please share if you’ve had a similar situation! it can be isolating, people don’t understand where i’m coming from when i say i’m scared
Hey. I’m 22 and never had an education to speak of but I love being in my home with my mum and sister. I agree with you there is more to life than being safe and comfortable but that can happen gradually. For me I just got a decent job and will start driving to places to see new things then eventually travel for longer periods. We all have our own pace plus I didn’t go to college over anxiety so I can completely relate to you
You posted this at the right time
Thanks for reminding me.
This phase shall end soon, and I have to hold on a bit more, till the next phase ( of life ) begins.
I hadn't watched Psych2Go recently and i am so glad that i decided to start with this video. Thank you.
Number one: You have a friend or two.
Me: Oh- Realising I don't have one...
Thank you for this! A little hope to watch in the calm evening. But indeed I am a lonely wolf and the only person I could ever count on is my mom. The rest always failed and made me feel bad about it. Maybe someday I will finally meet proper persons in my life. Would be nice. Have a nice day or evening everyone.
Hi Psych2Go, I just wanted to say i've been watching you for ariund 5/6 months now, words can't express how much you've helped me in situations.
Recently i found out my best friend didn't like me and talks trash about me behind my back, I was feeling so down at that moment, i tried to recall what we were doing to maoe sure i didn't hurt their feelings.
My friend said that my best friend thinks that i don't like them which is not true at all.
I can't believe it, i did so much for them, I was there for her when no one else were, yet she decided to take the wrong road.
Please, everyone who's reading this don't have negative thoughts about people because maybe deep down you're the one who's wrong in the situation.
Hope this helped.
I have grown use to my loneliness... I have one friend that has been in my life for 33 years, we talk occasionally and I feel good afterwards. In recent years, the past 10 - 12, people have become my friend but they fade into the ether once we are not working together anymore. Even after we part ways and I continue to try and reach out to them. But my one friend has always been there for me and I've been there for him. Your videos are great and I love watching them... I share them with people that I think would help. :)
Jesus is always there just ask for Him He will be faithful to give an answer
I have always been alone because I am Aspie and people thought isolation was beneficial for me. I would not say so. Of course I like spending time on my own as it is important for everyone. But, however, I have noticed it is far more beneficial to spend some time with other people.
church is the perfect place to go and Jesus fixes everything
Let's talk about the moon as it's always alone but still shine..
You've always been there even for people who have died decades ago.
You're a great listener, you're beautiful in every shape and sphere
You're an amazing friends, you hold many secrets for many people around the world
You're the light in the darkness and in everything you are and do,
You never ask for anything so why would one not love you.
I love being alone being in the dark by myself. But I often feel alone when I'm around people like my family.
This one is very helpful, thank you.
I’ve got used to loneliness as i enter another Christmas time alone. I sit drinking wine watching videos on TH-cam or movies on tv. Shedding the odd tear but that’s life 🥹
That's pretty ironic considering we Birth alone and die alone
Did you come out of an egg? lmao
I have always only had one or two friends at a time because it is hard to find people who share the same core beliefs as me and I like to be able dedicate more time to them. Being homeschooling in high school at the moment makes it hard to meet people as well as find good people my age. I really don't think I know anyone I am close enough to who I would share my personal problems with except my family.
Thank you for this channel. I really enjoy these simple, yet poignant videos.. ❤
I've been lonely, well, the feeling of being lonely started in high school 9th grade. But I did had "friends" during growing up that time period but looking back I subjected them as not "friends" just A.I.s but There was one friend I had since 5th grade but that bridged burned up cause I was going through drvgz like Fentanyl to ignore the fact of how my life turned out to be. Lost the only friend I knew was a brother to me. I wish I could take back everything I did during my tweaker days but I'm 2 years and 3 months sober off Fentanyl and I'm much better person and did learned alot and understand the value of friendship. But sadly, I got no one to show how much I understand. Now I don't think "online friends" as "friends" I would rather have "in person" friends, but that's just my opinion. But anywho loneliness with friends or not is what I felt. Now I'm here 24 and seeing people I grew up with getting their careers and cars and life they wanted that I remember them telling me growing up in class and such. Idk why I'm telling you all this. I'm just a lost cause I'm hopeless. I'll be quite honest I don't see a future in my 30s and when I think about my 40s it's a pitch black screen and when I see my 50s it's probably my grave cause I have a heart attack condition runs on my dad's side of the family and I get easily angry,sad, irritated alot so at this point I don't even care about my well being and looking up research how loneliness and depression can shorten one's life by 15 years and lead to increase heart disease and dementia. Sad to say, I really want this to happen. Oh, and I saw a video about how starting life in your 30s is too late when it comes to financial issues and love life issues. Yea, I'm hopeless and worthless. Idc at this point. As I said before only way I'll be happy again and get my life together is if I win the lottery and never look back or say goodbye to my family or that one girl will save me from this household and get my grip together from her help. But sadly, reality as it is both scenarios is not going to happen. So thus again, I'm just a "ghost," and I see myself that. 💯
Jesus loves you and cares for you and is always with you. When you talk to Him He hears everything, He is what you need.
So warm to the heart, thank you and lots of love to our lonely mates♡
I have been lonley my Whole life
I recently got broken up with it was already long distance and I don't have many outside friends to distract me or keep me busy so i just have to sit with this... I'm grateful for what i do have but man i miss her
I nearly tear myself from hearing this, even if I don't have any friends close to my age, I have a family and their friends who still cares about me, thank you, Psy2Go
I have friends, even if i feel alone. This really helps. Thank u!!
What if you truly have no friends you can rely upon? The only person I have that I can rely upon when I need to talk, is my therapist, and that's only once every other week. Anytime beyond that when I need to talk, I have nowhere to turn. :(
My best friend became a part of the fake, popular girls group at school and she completely changed. We used to talk every day, but we haven't had a real conversation in months now. We talked about it once and agreed to try to get our friendship back, and went skating once, but she is so fake now. Most of my other friends have shifted away too. I am starting to find new friends, but I am horrified of not being popular (which I now realize I was last year) and being part of a friend group that is considered weird by the popular ones.
I am constantly anxious and become frustrated by anything because seeing my old friends having small talk with basically everyone except me is exhausting.
hi i have a video idea! maybe one about how to tell if you're an introvert or an extrovert with trauma? don't feel pressured to do it! love your guys' videos, have a nice day
Thanks for this video. I was feeling quite alone at the time I saw this; I've realised I just miss my family. But it's ok, because I'll see them soon ❣
Thanks, you confirmed my suspicion, I am truly alone in life, nobody cares.
Jesus loves you and is always with you. Ask and you will receive, He will be faithful to answer you if you call on Him.

Friends you say, all of my friends betrayed me for being the teacher's daughter. They never saw me as a friend. And a girl, I trusted her so much... I really liked her company so much but one day, I told her to stop cursing(swearing) and she said "no I will not teaching work is your fathers not yours". I was devastated by how disrespectful she acted towards me and even bad-mouthed about my father. I just asked her to stop cursing and she started throwing cringe pick-up lines at me like she was the smartest of all. After this she started saying things like "you think I heart you but no I heart all my friends" like what in the world? She was straight-up emo with all of her words. She told all my friends that I made her parents scold her and yell at her badly. She even told my so-called bestfriend that I told everyone that she(my so-called bestfriend) yells at me, tortures me and all the things I couldn't even think of. THE GIRL I CALLED MY BESTIE LITERALLY TOOK SIDES WITH HER AND SHE NOW SEES ME AS THE POISON TO HER EYES. Seeing her face makes me want to slap her so hard that she goes falling into the floor... I hate her even more than that girl.
2:39 That featured comment sums up exactly the way I feel
Who else had watery eyes watching this because of how relatable it was? 😢
Thanks a bunch, I really needed this atm 🥺🙏
Sometimes, though rarely, I feel lonely to the point that I don't even seem to have myself. There is noone, not even me.
I felt exactly like this in September. I started little stupid drama with my friends at first cuz I felt like they didn't like me all that much, which wasn't true, but when that drama ended that month, one of friends started actual drama shit that I couldn't stand for the whole month of October, and my best friend kept sending that person screenshots of everything I said about them, and they thought I was talking shit about them behind their back (btw, these people aren't non-binary, I just don't wanna say the gender of my friends lol). All I was saying to my bestie was how I felt about this situation, and they turned there back on me. They weren't being mean, they just didn't know what to do with this. So the result of all of that had led to me being depressed and lonely that whole entire month. One of my friends broke off with me in the beginning because they believed the other one's story and didn't bother to ask for my side, and their friend who is also my friend, I ignored them cuz I was scared that they were gonna break it off and yell at me as well (the other friend sent a long message in a group chat with me and the other friend). But fast forward to today, I got the friend back that broke it off, their other friend I talk to again and am friends with after telling them my side, I'm not friends anymore with the one that started this shit, and I'm still besties with bestie 😁. This was really rough, and it was all during my marching band season!
Thank You all at Psych2Go. I ,as a young person ,did not see alone as an option growing up. Not that the quality of not being alone was that exceptional. Several year's later the alone time's are not as daunting as previously .For the last few years I have lived alone. The beloved pet's have gone ,the wife too. The vast difference between alone and lonely is a distinction that has been spotted in several aspects of living. To cross the two is cause to backtrack so as the meaning's don't lead to a confusion in term's, I possibly have over simplified the term's ,except in my life,at time's simplicity was the basis of understanding.
Your calm voice helps we while watchinh these vids
Yeah right. Everyone I ever trusted always turn on me.
Love ur vids and the art too ❤
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION AND VIDEO, I HAVE ALWAYS FELL LONELY, I HAVE VERY LITTLE FRIENDS, AND MY ABUSING PARENT, TELLS MY FAMILY NOT TO DEAL WITH ME, SO I STAY TO MYSELF. TEE GOD BLESS, HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE. TEE💯🙏
Jesus is always with you and loves you more than anything
This video came out just in time
I’m lonely every single day that is part of why I’m crazy because I have no one in my life that’s why I need someone to love
I relate to everything you mentioned
Start by loving yourself?
If you need someone to love to be happy, youre in the wrong path.
Get comfortable with yourself first. Keep improving until youre ready for others if not, you could hurt quite badly someone.
@@xtalpax902 no you don’t get it I need someone to love to feel happy
@@MiriadCalibrumAstar I don't understand, why would a mentally hurt person hurt someone else even when they know how it feels like to be abandoned or disregarded?
It's like saying it's wrong for someone who is depressed to find someone who will care about them.
@@yunogasai2675 I get it that comment couldn't be anymore anoyin it's like your in your own thoughts
I ain't afraid of being alone,
I'm afraid of whatever is in my closet
In my life, I'm lonely .
Because, I'm living in a depressed environment, everyone's around me are depressed and it's been killing me.
And God, I feel the responsible to cure them but I give no damn cause I don't know psychology. But these stuffs makes me feeling like a failure.
Every positive person I've seen, all of 'em are in the internet, it seems impossible to have me greeting with positive person.
I'm left alone , and trying to make a plan to escape from this gdmn environment
can y’all make a “how to get motivated” or something like that? i’m demotivated in school
pray to Jesus about it He is always faithful to answer
Needed this video.
honestly after watching this i feel more lonely u should change the title
After so many years of being a lone let a lone being single for 13 years you get use to it the thought of being with someone or talking to people scares me
I don't have anyone I feel safe around, or who I spend any time with. It is just day, after day, of sitting alone in my room, praying that I don't end up back at the hospital...
