I Survived 7 Days of Living With No Human Connection

- Since we are all practicing social distancing, I wanted to see how I would handle spending 1 week in TOTAL social isolation. So I spent 1 week without internet, no social media, no phone, and no human connection at all, not even with my roommate Matt.
The goal was to learn more about the effects of isolation and mental health, as well as the importance of human connection.

Extrovert people: "Oh no! I'm alone."
Introvert people: "huh."
Nothing has changed
People with adhd ; eh
idk what both of those words mean someone explain

How it feels when your internet’s down for a few minutes
LOOOL THIS

1 minute after: the world is cruel and it seems that the colors around me are very desaturated , I haven’t pooped in seconds.

That's just my normal life
I became disabled in 2019 and have been alone since then. All my "friends" stopped talking to me and didnt wanna hangout with me since then. I have a dog and she pretty much keeps me from snapping.. but it gets really depressing being alone all day and night, and waking up to just sit alone with your thoughts daily. I got to the point where I stopped dressing up, stopped doing my makeup, stopped doing things I loved like art or even playing video games. I just dont feel drive to do anything anymore, and I feel useless and worthless... 🤦🏼♀️ Depression really messes with you. Idk why I'm mentioning all this right now, I guess it just feels kinda good to get it off my chest, even if no one reads this or I later delete this
What games are you playing?
☺️☺️ dogs are always there
I feel you no one is Alone on this.
You really don't need people around you to be happy specially fake friends unfortunately. I do change my number often and I talk to people I know once every 3 to 4 months. I travel alone and do everything myself. Once you realize how good to be alone you'll be grateful.
Hey! I am so sorry to read this. I know, that dealing with depression is so hard.. and I know, what I am talking about.. but, if you want to be surrounded by people, you have to find that people. We are in the world that is connected (right now, I am answering you from my bed in the Czech Republic😁). So I guess I just wanted to make a point, that all over the world there are wholesome people and you just have to search for them and also people will be searching for you! I think, that you are incredible person, because you shared your story with the whole internet.
I wish you best of luck!
Can we all appreciate how his friend walked in literally as soon as 7 days were complete. Like, the second it was over. 👍🏻
agree.... we all need a friend like that....
That is pathetic. I go weeks without seeing a single person. I do not even have coworkers. I am certain I can go two years with absolutely no human contact at all. I could probably go even longer. The most I have done was three and a half months with absolutely no human contact at all, not even letters in the mail, telephone calls, nor world wide web. I barely even felt it. I learned to be completely alone from an early age. Even today, I have no friends, no girlfriend, no aquaintences. In my life, I have only had one friend and one girlfriend. The most miserable time in my life was when I paid attention to some stupid doctors an I force myself to try to exist as a social human. I got lied to, used, betrayed, painfully abandoned, robbed, mocked, ridiculed, abused, and much worse. There were probably 18% good times and the rest were bad times. That was 30 December 1998 to 8 August 2000 at 18:34. I returned back to the life I knew of no social existence and all returned to a very rewarding life. Seven days is something I do without contact many times a month.
@@indridcold8433 Not everyone is autistic bro
@@samdobie6748 Interesting you mentioned that. I was incorrectly diagnosed as autistic. I never really acknowledged the diagnoses. It seems too remotely possible for me to give it much credence. Mental health professionals can not possibly be correct in all situations. I believe I am one that was misdiagnosed. This was the same psychiatrist that diagnosed me with an erroneous IQ score, as well. I have no faith in him.
@@indridcold8433 Why is it pathetic?
People have different necessities in all means, there are people who can't be lonely and some who can't be full of people, the pathetic thing is the people who aren't aware of that, and may hurt another one by not recognizing that, I refer to for example those who (if I understood correctly) do it to you, and now you doing the same by reflecting that.
I didn't know that, this is a big deal. That is how i live everyday.
Same
Obviously not yesterday if your on yt
Without TH-cam too ? 😂 that’s entertainment too
Cant be everyday if your on TH-cam
I guess it's diferent. Because you have a cellphone and work to distract yourself. But if you were in a room alone without those things you would be frustrated too.

hey hey we're not all depressed xd
That’s not how it works lol
@@oozma1292 being alone can also cause deppresion bro
A lot of ppl say “this is me everyday” not even realizing how much there on social media n how much that counts
It’s a little different when you are using social media as a means to distract you from feeling that loneliness and it really only fills something temporarily...somehow I feel like I’d be in a better way if someone gave me a call and just talked to me instead of getting left on read by an entire group chat! One sided relationships man
@@madssierra7102 soo true bro, no one actually takes the time or decides that they want to talk to me, I can be on social media scrolling to see if anything happens but I do nothing but stare and scroll, it really wastes my time ngl lmaoo
This was me last 5 years ago, i spent 2 years on my province and it turns out, it wasnt really a bad idea, it was fun and just good even without wifi
right like they’re literally on youtube but r like yeah i do that anyways
Gaming
Imagine if i did a youtube video of being social for 7 days straight with people calling and texting and video chatting EVERY DAY.. i can't even finish thinking about that without getting anxiety... This video proves that it's hard trying to be someone you're not.
id get annoyed with myself tbh
@@saltshaker6002 just tell yourself jokes and you'll probably make yourself laugh, if you're funny.
@@vmm132 o no i mean doing what you stated in your comment haha. im great at keeping myself entertained.
Chatting every day? I can't even afford a conversation with my friends
“Even Matt is clapping right now”
Matt just choking his chicken: 😳
He wasn’t truely alone, he spoke to his youtube audience throughout the whole week
Were they with him?
Yea it wasn’t total isolation like he had the yoga videos, the editing videos, and the uncontrollable outside environment but it’s the effort that matters
He said no human connection... speak to camera or watch video contain human inside it not connection hahahhahahhaa
Meh, without human connection after a while you start talking to yourself anyway.
isolation? pffft, I talk to myself all the time anyway.

Nudity is nothing to be afraid of, not really sure why so many humans have issues with it.
Getting so much value from this. Oddly enough I decided to delete my “dating apps” after watching this. I wasn’t exactly using them for dating and this made realize I’m looking for something deeper and that wasn’t the way I want to experience it.
After being single for over 8 years I realised I don't really need a partner to be happy so I recently deleted all the dating apps on my phone and the numbers of girls I'd been trying to date. Learning about myself has been quite liberating.
Nice, hows it going now? Jw
Whoever said they live like this daily is straight capping
Bullshit. I grew up this way and by the time Ingotbto my early 20s my sanity was starting to deteriorate. I can provide you the full story if you'd like.
Kinda makes you think about how prisoners in solitary confinement feel.
Oh shit
That was my first thought. It's not rehabilitation, it's torture. How could that person ever come out normal?
I was thinking the same thing. My brothers been in prison for about 15 years I haven’t seen him in over 20 years. Makes me kinda wonder how different he’ll be when he gets out I always just picture him as the way he was when we were 12-13 years old before I lost contact with him.
@@jessicacordova5024 he is still in prison?
@@Isaac-qd5pi ya he is I don’t know when he’ll be out I think last I heard he’ll be out in 2030 or something like that. I don’t know for sure though because I don’t really talk to any of my family that would know.
Introverts: “now this, looks like a job for me.”
Without internet NO 😬
@@aaronharman5431 some introverts read books all day just saying
@@peterallenasorio352 yes hi hello, I was summoned. I was reading a book and I felt someone talk about my people so I'm here to say. Yes. We exist. You are right lol

This is an extremely relatable video as someone dealing with agoraphobia. It’s been a huge chunk of my life now and I can’t wait to get out there and trying to be brave enough to make connections with people.
Social media has helped me get to a point where I’m not as scared of other people but it is something that sucks you in and can have a huge negative impact of your mental health.
Being stuck inside for so many years it’s a double edged sword really. I need it to have any semblance of human contact but it also harms me; finding that balance is super hard but I keep trying to find it.
Anyway thank you for the video it was great and I’ve subscribed so I can catch more.
its really sweet how his roommate come straight up to his room once its done
Everyone: “this is easy I don’t talk to anyone”
Him: “ I’m not going to use internet or talk to anyone I live with, rarely leaving my room”
Also everyone: siting on TH-cam talking to whoever read their comment, communicating, having some social interaction.
*_Oh fu-_*
Social interaction is highly overrated, but unluckily it's not possible to live without it nowadays (unless you are a hermit living in a self sustaining home/farm with source of food and water).
Hm
yes living without the internet would be a hard af challenge but not impossible. I'll just buy some console games and play em. I live alone so that's that. and I'll just have food stocked so that I don't have to go out. this shit isn't really hard
I do this sometimes I lose the interest in hints so I stop doing everything I just sit there
This is literally what depression feels like "repeat repeat repeat"
seriously
one of my teachers once said "same shit different day" and that basically sums it up
@@nicoledlugopolski4621 That's a pretty common phrase lol But yeah, it's true. As someone who deals with depression, it definitely feels like groundhog day most of the time.
Yup how I feel
@@kokoluv1266 You're not alone. it's hard to find people who can relate, I usually keep it to myself.
For me this hits such a soft spot for me. When my grandmother passed away I fell into a 3 day depressive episode in college where I literally didn’t do anything really for 3 days. I didn’t really drink water all the much, eat much, and I think I rarely left my dorm to even go to the bathroom. I didn’t check my phone or my classes. In those three days not only did I have to process the very very large loss I experienced but also everything else I had put off due to college and everything else in life. It was and will continue to be the worst 3 days (except the day my grandma died) in my life. Although after almost 2 years of that I recently just took a month break from social media and noticed such a huge difference in my daily mood, activity, and how much motivation I had. Anyway, thank you for making this video! I do really appreciate the time that went into this.
i dont usually comment on these type of videos, but this i feel the need, this really made me realize and think about somethings that i havent before, im definetly gonna be trying to isolate myself from the world and others to try to focus on myself, i have tried before but ive always been stuck on thinking about social media or anything else, ty for the vid
10 seconds in: “ what do I do” 😂
sleep
@@saltshaker6002 yea i would just sleep eat and exercise
I guess if you’re a super outgoing person who thrives on human contact, this could be a challenge. For those with social anxiety, this is a breeze.
I happen to be an extrovert with social anxiety but, I assume that I would try to stray as far as possible from a week of social isolation since I do thrive on human contact!
nah this would be a challenge for everyone, we wouldnt even be able to watch youtube or play games
@@kiampa not so for a writer and creative mind >: D

I recently did a 8 day hunt backpacking. I was with one other person. It was a powerful experience a lot of time to think. It made me feel way closer to my wife and kids. I think it is cool you are doing wim hoff. Powerful stuff.
No
None of you do this everyday if your sitting here watching this on the internet
I think a lot of people missed the point of this video, everyone is saying they live like this or similar to it but its normal to go days without talking to a single person but its the fact that there's nothing to distract you your basically living under a rock with nothing to do not even scroll through Twitter or watch TH-cam
!!!!
Factsss
I would make food all day
@@mathieuchalmers5808 same
even without phone or wifi, i can. you can still do a lot of things even without social media or people
this is literally me.. seeing someone else practicing this looks crazy. i dont realize how introverted i am until seeing someone else did it. i barely touched my phone . let alone watching tv. i work at home. i dont have social media. no calls. no mssges .no family. i opens youtube for listening frequencies and some recommended interesting video.
ur life sounds peaceful,, i hope that it really is

What bothers me more, is when someone sets a cup of ice water (or a cup full of any liquid drink) on a laptop, or on a computer, and then walks away from it for a while . . . Or if they set the cup right next to their computer, and it's full of liquid.

Loki the end almost made me tear up. I’m proud of you.
This is how I feel at times. I work work work all from home on my laptop while my friends are moved away at college. My routine becomes repetitive and I lose motivation at times. That is when I meditate and align myself with goals I want to accomplish. Doing something new to push me outside of my comfort zone to jump start myself. I'll be booking a skydiving trip very soon.

i think part of what made you keep going is the food that you left for matt everyday..cuz like it's something you are doing and knowing it would remind someone of you..and for me i think that is enough human connection to give me hope and keeps me balanced
I could go ages without interacting with others in person but also not communicating with them via messages or social media would be really hard for me.
"pffft this is easy I live my life like this anyway" - says the person on a social media app
Right lol
I dont have wifi im using data connection rn like im in my province rn
My internet is trash normally so I use my data often. As an introvert and an author; this challenge would be a breeze.
When they're away maybe there doing something else like idk read a book
Even commenting here along with everyone makes me feel connected. Social media at least gives us the illusion we’re connecting with people, even though we’re really not.
For us introverts, this is nothing more than a free sample.
I've survived this way for months and years. You deal with it. Some of us don't have the luxury of having friends, or we don't belong in any groups. Tough luck, get over yourself and find something solitary to do instead if you have no friends, no one to hang out with, or you've no choice but to be isolated for weeks and months on end because people are too busy or you can't seem to make friends no matter how hard you try. You have to make do with what you have and accept what you cannot change. Hobbies are everything, people are temporary and fleeting, they are nothing in the grand scheme of things and are worth nothing to your happiness.
I literally just talk to my family. I don’t hang out with anyone else except if I’m at school.
Same here haha
same why are we all so lonley💀
Same man
Exactly the same I haven't gone out with friends in 3 years
I don’t even speak to my siblings..

@@reidb6327 too*
don't be, everyone's built different, being normal is relevant, and frankly a social construct. I love being alone, I push people away to be alone because I hate human interactions, and I never have and never will think I'm not normal. Don't ever put yourself down because someone said it is not "normal" for THEM. Maybe judge THEM for not being "normal" because they can't be alone.
Ye I was HAH 7DAYS THAT'S ROOKIE NUMBER 😏😔
At least he has a camera to talk to.
Hey brother im 28 years old from Quebec Montreal and Sadly this is my everyday life since iv moved to a new city (Montreal), since i have moved away from were i was living its like everyone stoped talking to me cause iv moved aways, going on 5 months now, yes i have my girlfriend and we live together but i would love to make friends anywhere or even around here, have people to talk to. Create projects like you do yourself, (big fan by the way love everything you do man ) i even thought of crossing Canada and go to Vancouver but with the pandemic i dont think it would be a good idea to hitchhike across country. Anyways thanks for the videos man you really help me get through the day and you also inspire me to go out there and meet people and help out
I love this channel
Imagine all human life dissapeared as soon as he finished😭😂
neat fact if you stay isolated for 6 years ur depression actually has enough energy to manifest itself as a new shitty bestfriend.
🤣🤣
Adorably said
I cried right before your isolation ended, I cried for all the people that struggle through this without the benefit of choosing it, or knowing that there will be an end to it eventually.
man, i cried at that reunion.
I didn’t believe you at first when you told me you were going in total Isolation but here we are. You’re dope dude
Didn't really believe it myself to be honest 😂
Honestly this is me , sometimes I’m always alone in the room and have no friends. I don’t go out but you do start to feel depressed and bored.
find something to do? I've been sitting at home for the last year and 2 months, never have I felt bored, not a single moment. I do have a computer with internet and a full home gym, but never felt depressed or bored, cuz I have things to do.
Introverts: You gotta bump up those numbers those are rookie numbers
Looking back on 2020 and I can't say it brings back fond memories or positive feelings.
To be fair, even having a camera to talk to is still a kind of interaction 😅 On another note, I would love to be able to unplug and not have to talk to anyone or work for 3 days. I would use it to meditate, practice guitar, read, and just sleep a bit more.
I would agree! I think it would be different with out the camera for sure
You’re very pretty, wishing you all the best 😄
I went almost 2 years. The first year was the hardest. A depression that almost cost me my life twice.
Glad you’re still here with us ♥️
I am on my third year
I only tried once to end it.. somewhat the reality of “the world will just continue” made me realize that ending it would only affects me
Throughout the days i have seen many people living much harder lifestyles and having many issues “physically and socially” yet are trying to fix their lives and those they loves..
I am walking on that journey myself now😁
you have human connection
I do this for months at a time. My only social interaction is when I say “Thank you. You too.” to the cashier at the grocery store when they tell me to have a nice day once a week. My only family I had is dead or alienated and I have no friends or significant other even though I tried to. The TH-cam comment section is the only other place I put my thoughts out into the world but besides that I could die and no one would find my body for months. I don’t even care if I die because there is nothing to live for if I can’t experience my life with someone. I’m just surviving.
This video really changed my outlook on life.

@@Dyingthrivingg ohhh that’s wonderful, things like with people gather peacefully are so beautiful
I love how he leave food for his roommate. Sooo considerate.
I know that feeling of wanting to be a little kid again, you never know how much your gonna miss it, just that feeling that nothing can go wrong and all you have to do is have fun was just great, and I took it for granted.
yeah. the only problems are:
-he still spoke to the "audience"
-he heard the environment noises from outside
-he had notifications from his friends
and, most importantly:
*-he knew he had someone to talk to and he made the choice to go in isolation voluntarily, therefore knowing exactly that it would end*
without any of that, isolation can take a really heavy toll on his mental health.
living like this is near impossible.
without *anyone* at all. family, friends, partner, internet, social media, pets, even good memories.
that would've been true torture.
(edit: and no, I'm not implying he should've killed everyone he knows and started living in the woods or on a deserted island to make it more legit, if anyone is wondering. Those are simply the things I noticed.)
I also felt even tho it wasn't true interaction, the yoga vids were kinda cheating
@@AwesomeBauer I agree, seeing another person, even if you can't talk to them, is enough to feel less alone.
The Edit
It's pretty close to isolation but nothing like actual solitary confinement in prison. That's just straight torture. Those people don't even have anything to do. Not even a book to read.
@@willvr4 they have a book to read and they can listen to music

Thanks for your help Francis 😁
It was awesome.
I loved it! I was just about to comment on it!
I loved that actually.
It is an interesting experiment and thx for documenting it.
I would say it is being alone but not really isolated, let me put it this way; you can always get help by just using the phone or calling Matt.
While watching I thought of Thor Heyerdahl that sailed/floated from South America to French Polynesia. They were 4 or 5 men on the boat, so they weren't "alone" but they were Isolated. No one to call, No safety net as there was absolutely ZERO chance for rescue if they capsized nor could they just about the experiment if they got bored/annoyed by it.
After landing they talked about a life-changing silence and sense of isolation that deeply changed them even though they had 4 others to talk to.
This makes me think of people who are in a penitentiary in solitary confinement and what it can ADD to their behaviors.
Me: "wow, cool! I will try one day without social media and all the other stuff tomorrow"
Also me realizeing i have to go to onlineschool tomorrow: ._.
You need lots of self control to avoid the social medias if it's not for the school work.
i put this as a rule for me one time, it works for a while XD
I was quarantined for 3 weeks and in the military they have mental health personnel calling everyday to check if you’re doing fine. Me being an introvert didn’t think much of it until I got out of quarantine and was like “ ooohhh it’s because most people can’t live without human interaction”. It was a great break from work.
I've been teleworking for little over three years now. I have not spoken a word to another living person in that entire time. And I feel fantastic.
I had tears in my eyes when the countdown was done. 😁
When you go to prison voluntarily for 7 days
Most prisons around the world have some kind of human contact unless you’re in isolation.
Except he didn’t have to watch his back every second and he didn’t have to beef up so he could defend himself. This is far from prison.
@@TheBlackAztec3 I agree with your point about it not being a prison at all. But what you’re saying isn’t reality for a lot of people world wide.
@@sila1415 yea true i was referring more towards the prisons in America.
@@sila1415 probly a solitary confinement.
I'm a mystic, I've spent most of the last 5 years like this on purpose. Once you master yourself, Life is amazing.
I spend a week completely alone in the mountains, no human contact or technology. I love it and learned alot about myself from it!
Your ability to tell a story and connect is inspiring. This channel will be huge one day. Don't give up, man.
Imagine doing this for 10 years straight. Yeah, I know a guy that done that before, and it was my dad.... because he lived all by himself, without us kids... WOW!!
