I have been the girl who always has had a relationship. Now I didn't say "good" relationship mind you, but I couldn't be alone. Finally I choose to be alone to work on myself and focus on what is going to make my life better so I can grow without conforming to someone else's life. Good for you Luke for doing you. You will get used to celebrating your peace. Give yourself time to breathe. As you grow you will understand these times are necessary for recharge and survival💖
I'm pregnant and alone at home in this new year even feel really really lonely couldn't have much or drink alcoholic bcz of pregnancy just in bed watching ur video
You're not the only one Luke!! I was by myself too and went through the same negative feelings. Thank you for being real and making me feel I'm not alone. ♥️♥️
I also spent New Year’s Eve alone for the first time in about 5 years because I just got out of a long term relationship. I was really sad about it at first, but I am so glad I did it. I could’ve gone out drinking, but I stayed home and watched a movie and prepared my 2020 bullet journal, haha. I also went to sleep before midnight. I don’t regret it one bit, but it’s okay to be sad about it for a little while. I hope you have a great 2020. ✨
Thank you, I needed that. Spending New Years Eve alone for the first time this year, because of a) Covid and b) I also just came out of a long term relationship. And I felt quite sad, but after your comment and this video I fell much better. Wish you all the best for 2021 xoxo
I'm 17 and spent NYE with my grandparents and I always have the same thoughts that nobody likes me enough to invite me to a party or when I'm walking outside everyone is judging me... I hope things get better and I wish you the same. 2019 was about learning and 2020 is for taking advantage of those lessons ❤️
I'm the same way, spending new year's eve alone. It's kind of deppresing because all my friends are kinda doing things themselves with their other friends and i honestly feel left out. I tried to ask which felt even more pathetic but it's clear I'm not really wanted anywhere soooo I'm here trying to feel a bit better about today. I'll dress up maybe and light some fireworks, maybe pierce my belly and smoke weed to sleep through the day. Thank you for helping others not feel alone.
im sorry u had to spend new year's eve all by urself.. im actually gonna do the same tomorrow, which is unplanned and unexpected, so i feel u 🥺 thank u for sharing. we may be alone sometimes but doesn't mean we're lonely and unloved. 💕 also, u seem really cool and down-to-earth, i would love to be ur friend
Mee too but the positive Side is, you're Not wasted the next day:) I do a Beauty evening and do Training:) i will comment you again at midnight so you don't feel totally alone🎉❤
I really like your honesty and that you decided to share not just the glory things happening in life. I like your personality (as far as I know it from your videos) I also spent new years alone whilst everyone was spending it with their significant other so... Ya
i also spent my NYE alone, so this video popped up perfectly. love having my notifications on for you Luke, here’s to nothing but the best in 2020. I’ve loved watching your channel grow this year ❤️
Luke. I feel you on the "friends" part. Its apart of getting older. People start having their own lives, jobs, kids, ect. Its been really hard on me this past year, feeling like I have no one. So I feel that. But your doing great! Going on walks really helps me. And don't feel bad for falling asleep early, I passed out at 9:30 lol. In my defense I had to work at 5 am that day...you'll start getting more comfortable by yourself, you're doing great :)
If it helps at all, I spent new years eve alone as well and have been battling with massive depression, anxiety, and self hatred. I feel like an alien around my family and tend to isolate myself a lot. Thanks for helping me get out of my head for a minute and realizing I'm not the only person in the world who feels these feelings. A lot if people do and it's okay to feel em I guess lol
2019 was the first Christmas I spent alone. It is hard. But it helps you appreciate time when spent with your friends and family. And also allows you to grow and reflect on yourself. Being alone is hard, but important ❤️
I spent New Year’s Eve alone too. It is just another day and the celebrations are usually overhyped anyway. If you enjoy your own company, maybe it’s just that expectation that you should be out doing something. I live alone too and I love it but I do think it takes some time to adjust.
I kinda live in my own head.. here & there..& at home sometimes. But, I've learned Luke that you really can be happy alone. I literally partyed by myself last night, twinkly lights &, I danced all around the house! 💫😌... I never told you I wasn't strange but, I was happy 🙂xoxxx
This video made us very happy dear....you shouldn't worry about other stuff..just be thankful that you got to know yourself better...you got to spend some time with yourself...you felt that beautiful morning air...you're lucky....appreciate what you have and don't worry about what you don't have
i always spend new year's eve alone. my parents never took me out when i was younger because they didn't like partying and staying up late. at first it was kind of sad because all my friends would party all night but now i have little traditions of my own and celebrate with myself each year. now, i can't even imagine going out. ngl i'm really proud of myself for learning to be okay with spending the new year alone.
I appreciate this SO much. I don't know if you are still following comments on this, but hey im 63 and will be spending new years on my own. Planning how to spend the hours definitely helps. ❤❤
I got a bad depression for the last two weeks I can't even make myself clean my own room. After you mentioned it, now I'm watching your vlog and cleaning my room for the first time since weeks ago. Thanks Luke. Being alone would probably a little scary in the beginning, but just remember your loved ones don't really leave you, they are walking with you, just in a different lane. Happy New Year, Luke. 🌻🙂
I’ve been having a trash couple of days and I just wanna say thank you for making videos people can enjoy. You’re a very genuine person and one of the most honest on here I’ve found. Wishing you positivity and happiness in 2020.
there's always going to be parties, but quality time alone, even when you're sad, can be priceless. i hope as your journey to get to know yourself rolls along, that you will see the sweet young man that'a so clear to me. happy new year, Luke!🌻
When you were talking about “feeling like people hate you/don’t want you around”, my heart dropped. I was completely alone too. It wasn’t as bad as last year, I’ve cried just a bit, got drunk just a bit (cuz I’m not gonna sacrifice clear skin that I’ve worked hard for for some alcohol) got a panic attack, popped some xan and then did some of my homework for my grammar for journalists class. It was kinda funny to do all that shit wasted. Kinda sad. But I’ve survived this year even tho I wanted to give up on life so many times. Thank you for being so real and open. I hope this year is gonna bring you happiness, success and joy. 💝
Great editing in this video!! 😍 Being confident enough to do things on your own is really freeing... My mom asks how I go out to eat, go to a movie, etc., by myself. I always respond by saying that I'm not going to let being single or not having someone to always be with prevent me from doing what I want to do, see what I want to see, or experience what I want in life. Plus, it's kinda nice sometimes to be able to do what you want. Don't beat yourself up about working through your emotions and feelings 💜 Happy New Year and best wishes from Minneapolis my friend 😊
@@LowkeyLuke just as you said, baby steps... It didn't happen right away, and don't get me wrong there are times I wish I had someone there with me during those moments be that I will always remember. And there are still times I decide not to go do something by myself because I don't want to be alone at that time... But even if it's something small like going to a favorite restaurant alone or as big as a vacation by myself, I never regret having that experience regardless of who was with me. You inspire so many, including myself. What an honor to inspire you 💜 🤗
hey Luke honestly thank you for this video. im 18 and didnt go out yesterday and i felt horribly. I thought i was boring, that i had no friends and that i was waisting my youth. Its true that our society makes us feel bad if we dont do what everybody else is doing. and nowadays with social media that feeling is extremely present. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I hope you have an amazing year for you and you achieve all of your new year's resolutions!
I went to a party on New Year’s Eve and spent the whole time wishing I was home, relaxing in my PJs. I no longer feel the need to be surrounded by people to feel good. I find as I get older that I really enjoy my alone time.
@@tarunika935 virtual warm hugs for you! 🫂 it’s my first time spending it alone so it feels so weird just watching TH-cam and korean dramas to ease the loneliness. How about video calling your family?
I absolutely LOVED this vlog, Luke! Everything from the cinematography to the more personal, emotional and "raw" subject matter.... obviously you should only share what you're comfortable with but I'd love to see similar videos like this in the future. I hope you know that you're such a kind and smart individual and you're going to make even better friends and better memories this year! I've been subbed to you since 10K on your channel and it has been so exciting to see you grow ❤
love this video. i spent new years alone too and it was probably one of the worst nights i’ve had in a few months: had a huge existential crisis that has been going on for a while now and had some really really dark thoughts and i went to bed early like you and felt awful lmao but i felt much better in the morning. it’s hard being alone since - as you said - society makes you think that being alone means you’re a loser when in reality it’s SO important to learn how to be alone and enjoy your own company as you are the basis of everything and friendships and relationships only come after that. i can really relate to you and i hope you’re feeling better. i would love for you to document this period of your life, the lonely and learning to be alone period, as a way to embark on this journey together and feel support on both ends. sending you a hug!
Omg I feel the same. I don’t really have anyone to hang with. I don’t have friends. i even reconnected with people last year and they ghosted me. I feel like people hate me, dislike me. It even feels the same on social media. I try so hard, and not much comes out of it. So hopefully 2020 I can find real people who appreciate me for me.
Skitterkins yes leave this people behind and try meet new people, you just haven’t found the right friends but they’re out there and I hope you find them in 2020❤️
7:41 Gosh boy why are you so cute?! Luke just bc you struggle with depression does NOT mean you have to be alone you are a precious soul! It does suck when it seems like ppl forget you. My heart goes out to you. What you shared IS relatable. You're home alone & I'm an only child. One day I realized that all my friends had siblings so... they all kinda just drifted off &, are living their lives. It does make you question if they were ever a friend. Yet, you're an amazing guy & things WILL get better for you! I love you Luke & pray you have better days. 🙏♥️🌻 🦋🌟🌸
This video was wonderful and relatable. I've noticed the past couple of years how the pressure of society has grown on me. I've found myself thinking that doing things alone is somehow embarrassing. I stress terribly all celebrations (that aren't usually spend with family) with whom I go and where and make sure I'm not alone. I kinda hate my birthdays because I have too hight expations and usually I cry. I do want to travel and live abroad from my homeland and I too have to get use to doing things myself.
I went from being in a long term relationship, in college in a sorority to coming home to family I was distant from, that long term relationship ending after getting pregnant, having no friends for two years because of my anxiety/depression to now finally being happy alone. Thriving w/ my daughter. This video reminds me a lot of the glimpses of light in that time, but also the times I felt as you perfectly described when I was feeling low & as if no one felt the same way, so thank you
Hi Luke, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the honesty in your vlogs. You don't pretend like everything is wonderful etc. It just makes me feel less alone and so comforted! I hope you keep vlogging, even if you're having a bad day :)
Spending time alone is very good for yourself! When i moved to another city to study last year, i didn't know anyone. I have now made some friends, but during the past year i did so many things i thought were weird or sressful alone: went to movie teather, went to an actual teather (to see Amelie musical), went to a cafe and also did all my shopping without anyone. For me the greatest thing was to go to different turist attractions and wandering around the city and getting to know the places. I did it all because at the time i didn't have anyone to go with, but i think that even people who have many friends should also force themselves to do stuff like that occasionally. It is refressing and relaxing. Ps. I spent my new years alone too.
I've spent five years learning to love myself and spending significant holidays alone really helped me. The best thing I ever did both mentally and physically.
This video is great! I’m spending New Year’s Eve alone this year because all of my friends or family has other plans... I was feeling really down about it but watching this really brightened my day and another optimistic point of view on spending it with myself🥰
Thank you for making this video! I went through a period of my life were I felt completly alone because I had a lot of social anxiety and wasn’t able to make friends. At that time I felt like the only lonely person in the planet... social media makes us think that everyone has great friends all the time and has a amazing life. So I know at that moment I would have really appreciated a video like this ❤️
I'm so happy you posted this vlog ❤️ I can relate on so many levels... I used to feel like this in general after I cut ties with some old friends who were only making me miserable, but after a while I realized that I can just do anything I want by myself and not care about what anyone else thinks. It's the society that has put these stupid "rules" on how we're supposed to feel over things and that's why once we overcome these rules we feel so much better! I really hope you have a great 2020 and I am looking forward to more videos on both your channels ❤️ I'm so glad you reacted to my troll riverdale edits a while ago because that's how I found your channels and I've been obsessed ever since 😅❤️
hey Luke, theres really nothing wrong with you. Everyone is just making a huuuuge deal about New Years and I feel like so many people are pressured by it. I wish I stayed home alone, instead I went to my friends, which was fine at first (I did have a breakdown beforehand) but then around 1 I felt so so bad.. And then spent the day after being hungover. It's fine to be alone, it's fine to choose yourself. Don't let others pressure you into thinking that you HAVE TO do something, just because others do it. Everyone is different!!
I felt everything that you said and every feeling you mentioned. 2 years ago I spent Christmas alone because it was the year I moved to another country for university and I was away from my family and friends. I felt exactly the way that you felt, thank you for sharing such a weird and sad state of mind that I know hurts a lot. Hope you have a great year! ✨🌻
It gets better as you get older, I promise! I spent New Years alone too and I didn’t even think about it. In fact I was elated to be alone because this year I put the brakes on a marriage that has been toxic for years. It’s all relative to where we are in our lives. I recently discovered you and love your content! This vlog is wonderful!
8:34 I feel the exact same as you Luke, I can kind of relate to how you are feeling because I often spiral in my thoughts thinking about my friends and to be honest I don’t have the best friends either. I hope your feeling better, great vid x
I also challenged my extreme FOMO by putting my hand up to work from 10pm - 6am. I felt all of these emotions too. I am always around people and it was nice to make some money but to just sit still and feel every emotion and be introspective. The more time you spend alone the easier it gets and the more you crave it. I am sure you will grow to adore your company so much ♡
Luke! You're great! There is an ebb and flow to life.... nothing wrong with spending a New Years Eve alone...you have many more to come. Learn to love yourself bc wherever you go there you are, my friend.
I'm here commenting, because I'm spending new year's eve alone, while everyone else has plans and get together. It's difficult to be away from your family. But that's ok. Happy new year everyone
Were all here for you luke. 2020 is your - our year, of being true to yourself. And if sometimes being alone is what happens, then that’s it. Spending time for yourself can be so refreshing. You are such an inspiration as someone that is taking the step to take life into their own hands and be honest. We love you💕 proud of u for eating that muffin alone
i´ll never stop saying it, your raw honesty about the way you´re feeling is incredibly refreshing and SO important. bottom of my heart, seeing someone voice the same thoughts i struggle with so much really truly means a lot. i hope you know that and continue doing it as much as you´re comfortable with. :) also, a very happy new year to you, luke
I love to take myself out on a date from time to time. I have a SO and I have friends, but there is something about spending time alone out, that makes me feel good about myself. I got over the fact that people might find it weird or judge me - I don't care. It gives me a weird sense of confidence, that I can go to a busy restaurant, order myself some food and a beer, read a book and not feel weird about it in the slightest. So good luck with your solo endeavors - once you get over the awkwardness, it feels pretty damn cool.
All the things you've said and all of your feelings about loneliness are soo relatable, i want to thank you for showing us this part of young adult life, it's nice to know that i'm not the only one feeling this way and you should know that too :)
I have willingly spent the last two or three NYE alone. I find it much more relaxing and I honestly prefer it. I always spent the previous and next day with family or friends but that day is always just for my self (and well, my cat)
I grew up with only my mom who was a care taker and she often worked on new years and xmas. And moved alot too so I had a couple new years like this. I really feel for you. But what doesnt kill u makes u stronger♥️
I love that you're so real about it.Like you don't sugarcoat things and you're not acting like it's super easy to be comfortable and happy alone. You also show the struggle and the negative parts and it somehow makes me feel like I am not alone. So thanks for that and I wish you good luck for your journey ⭐
hey there! i myself struggle with anxiety a lot and i am very familiar with the negative thoughts that pollute your mind when you get emotional and hit by a wave of anxiety - but don't be disappointed in yourself or sad just because you spend new years alone, we are so conditioned to think that we have to spend new years with friends or family, that we get anxious and feel like we're missing out, when we're spending it alone. Honestly, you have so many more new years to come and i'm sure next time you'll mentally be in a much better place to either spend it alone confidently or go out and have the time of your life with new friends :) it's hard staying positive sometimes so don't beat yourself up if you're not!
Well luke this was my 3rd year spending New Year Eve alone (since I moved out for university) so I totally get how you feel :"") However it gets easier by time, it was the first time where I didn't cry during the countdown so I am kind of proud of myself x"D
I also spent New Years Eve alone for the first time this year and got a lot of anxiety before. I was invited to some parties but I knew I would feel terribly lost with them people and on them parties so I took a long bubble bath, listened to jazz music and read a nice book. And was so happy i deleted social media months ago bc it always gives me the worst feelings. Thanks for being so real, Luke, and happy new year! 🧡
came across your videos recently and just gotta say, from someone who spent the new year behind my mac to meet a design deadline, it’s okay if not every holiday is a big shindig. i’ve learned a lot about myself this past year and being okay flying solo has been one of the biggest lessons. you’re never alone though-if you’re ever in need of a friend to kick it with in LA, i got you. anyway, happy new year & cheers for personal growth in 2020! 💯
Honestly, I love being alone with my own thoughts now. Before, being alone & doing things alone kinda freaked me out...now it doesn't. I actually look forward to it. :] I went through somethings that rocked me emotionally & had to cope with it & get help. Now, I feel a whole lot better being alone witj my thoughts/company, trust me Luke, now it may seem weird or kinda scary, but you'll love it with time.
I feel you really. It's not even about new year's eve, I was so (and still am) depressed after that because I was a lot thinking about friends and not fitting in, generally feeling lonely. still hoping it to change or to just be ok with it. lots of love for everybody, loneliness sucks
hi luke! it's actually really nice to see this. i had planned to go to a big party with some close friends, but i was super anxious about it for days so i decided to stay home instead, for the sake of my mental helath. i actully doubted about my decision, especially today when i woke up to everyone's ig stories and posts, but seeing this, i feel better about it and know i took the right decision. thanks for sharing! mental health is important.
I'm spending tonight alone for the first time since i was 15 aka, 14 years ago. every single one of my friends are not only in relationships, but parents too. I've had a couple of invitations of mates however siilar to you, i don't know many people there which means i'll drink which means i'll end up acting like a drunk anxious twat all night which i don't want to do. However never thought i'd spend the last NYE of my 20's alone at home. but that's just part of life. it's not that i have no friends, but their priorities have changed and that's okay! i'm going have a morning walk across the common (leaving in 15 mins to catch the sunrise) a pamper day, a takeaway and a walk down to the beach to watch the fireworks at midnight. This is just all apart of getting older and I think i'm okay with that. I have some great plans and travels booked in for the ny AND i'm going to finally learn to drive so it's onwards and upwards! Basically my dude, you're not alone
Thank you for sharing this with us, even though this year I did get to spend new years eve with my significant other and two close friends, for the last couple of years before that I have always struggled to find something to do and been panicking weeks before because I knew I wouldn’t have a party to go to or even just be able to have a chill night with friends, and I was always really afraid of having no one to spend new years eve with. So this video did really resonate with me and I’m looking forward to much more great content from you in 2020 ^^
this is so real! i went to hang out with some "friends" for nye and it was horrible. after a few hours of faking it i left on foot across the city for half an hour (i may have cried once or twice, i won't confirm or deny that) and slept it off. i regreted so much not staying at home alone. i just imagined it would be fun to be with them but it was so not the case. as we age we should accept that not all friendships need to last a lifetime and not everyone really cares about what your feeling. i'll be less clingy that's for sure :)
I just love that everyone has a nye like this, it's an experience that we can all learn about ourselves from - hang in there mate!!!! It's gonna be a great year
I can’t stress enough how proud I am of you I really can’t I wouldn’t have been able to do all this alone and deal with it as good as you did I’m so so so proud of you honestly your a good person xxx
Thank you for posting this. I understand how you feel. Iv spent the past months also learning to enjoy my own company but New Years I felt more alone than ever. There will always be highs and lows but can only continue to move forward and look at the positive. I appreciate the time you put into youtube and yourself and thank you for being so honest as well as open. Also thank you for helping me get out of bed this morning. I can’t wait to see more from you this year. 🙃💖🎉Happy 2020 Luke
Hey I know how you feel but don’t worry about it so much. This time of year happens every year and it’s not always going to be the same. Next holiday you might spend it with friends as the future is unpredictable. Just put yourself out there, be kind, be a king and focus on what makes you happy.
This is really weird for me I am introverted and every year I celebrated with friends and I didnt feel especially happy but this one when I am alone cuz my friend that holds the group together is going to celebrate it in another country I don't feel happy either cuz social rule is that you have to celebrate with friends idk what to think I have serious problems determining my attitude
" Everyone in my life is in a relationship except me...haha but that's okay because I am in a relationship with myself " LMAO ME
I have been the girl who always has had a relationship. Now I didn't say "good" relationship mind you, but I couldn't be alone. Finally I choose to be alone to work on myself and focus on what is going to make my life better so I can grow without conforming to someone else's life. Good for you Luke for doing you. You will get used to celebrating your peace. Give yourself time to breathe. As you grow you will understand these times are necessary for recharge and survival💖
to everyone who feels alone: sending you a hug (if you want one) and you will be alright
:-(
One year later but that’s so nice, thank you!

I don’t know about y’all but spending New Years Eve alone without having to deal with people sounds amazing
Trust me it's not.
I am alone this new year's eve and I feel so empty
It's just another day.
On lockdown alone this year! but hey, I'm ok with it!
I can drink and have fun with friends every other day of the year.
Not me manifesting 2020’s New Years 🤡

Also Me: nods
You're not the only one Luke!!
I was by myself too and went through the same negative feelings. Thank you for being real and making me feel I'm not alone. ♥️♥️
I also spent New Year’s Eve alone for the first time in about 5 years because I just got out of a long term relationship. I was really sad about it at first, but I am so glad I did it. I could’ve gone out drinking, but I stayed home and watched a movie and prepared my 2020 bullet journal, haha. I also went to sleep before midnight. I don’t regret it one bit, but it’s okay to be sad about it for a little while. I hope you have a great 2020. ✨
Thank you, I needed that. Spending New Years Eve alone for the first time this year, because of a) Covid and b) I also just came out of a long term relationship. And I felt quite sad, but after your comment and this video I fell much better. Wish you all the best for 2021 xoxo
I'm 17 and spent NYE with my grandparents and I always have the same thoughts that nobody likes me enough to invite me to a party or when I'm walking outside everyone is judging me... I hope things get better and I wish you the same. 2019 was about learning and 2020 is for taking advantage of those lessons ❤️
Klaudia Klaudia leave all those negative thoughts behind, 2020 will be your year❤️

Going to be alone for the first time. Well, you all look cool guys 💕
Watching this alone on new years eve. 31st December 2024.
The thing that I love about you is that you always keep it real, I wish you a happy 2020 Luke you deserve so much
I really like your honesty and that you decided to share not just the glory things happening in life. I like your personality (as far as I know it from your videos)
I also spent new years alone whilst everyone was spending it with their significant other so... Ya
I read the title and I couldn’t relate more 😅 kinda sad (in my circumstance) and I cried, so fun times
i also spent my NYE alone, so this video popped up perfectly. love having my notifications on for you Luke, here’s to nothing but the best in 2020. I’ve loved watching your channel grow this year ❤️
Luke. I feel you on the "friends" part. Its apart of getting older. People start having their own lives, jobs, kids, ect. Its been really hard on me this past year, feeling like I have no one. So I feel that. But your doing great! Going on walks really helps me. And don't feel bad for falling asleep early, I passed out at 9:30 lol. In my defense I had to work at 5 am that day...you'll start getting more comfortable by yourself, you're doing great :)
If it helps at all, I spent new years eve alone as well and have been battling with massive depression, anxiety, and self hatred. I feel like an alien around my family and tend to isolate myself a lot. Thanks for helping me get out of my head for a minute and realizing I'm not the only person in the world who feels these feelings. A lot if people do and it's okay to feel em I guess lol
3 years later and i feel just like this . Like im an alien around my family.. a disappointment to friends so i will bring in this new alone.
how are you now?
2019 was the first Christmas I spent alone. It is hard. But it helps you appreciate time when spent with your friends and family. And also allows you to grow and reflect on yourself. Being alone is hard, but important ❤️
Films By Belle couldn’t agree more❤️
Modern family and pizza is way better than partying like imagine being around ppl 🤢
that's the biggest mood lmao
I would take modern family and pizza over partying anyday
Well...
I spent New Year’s Eve alone too. It is just another day and the celebrations are usually overhyped anyway. If you enjoy your own company, maybe it’s just that expectation that you should be out doing something. I live alone too and I love it but I do think it takes some time to adjust.
I kinda live in my own head.. here & there..& at home sometimes. But, I've learned Luke that you really can be happy alone. I literally partyed by myself last night, twinkly lights &,
I danced all around the house! 💫😌...
I never told you I wasn't strange but, I was happy 🙂xoxxx
Jess W. That sounds beautiful ❤️
hi anyone else here alone on new year’s eve
Me
Yep, like every year for the past 11 years. I work in the adult industry. It's a lonely life.
This video made us very happy dear....you shouldn't worry about other stuff..just be thankful that you got to know yourself better...you got to spend some time with yourself...you felt that beautiful morning air...you're lucky....appreciate what you have and don't worry about what you don't have
this is me right now. Living in a different country without family. Happy New Year!
i always spend new year's eve alone. my parents never took me out when i was younger because they didn't like partying and staying up late. at first it was kind of sad because all my friends would party all night but now i have little traditions of my own and celebrate with myself each year. now, i can't even imagine going out. ngl i'm really proud of myself for learning to be okay with spending the new year alone.
thanks for liking luke!!!
Time alone makes you realize things you wouldnt had otherwise, with people around you, so good for you, happy new year 2022.
Also Luke you deserve millions of views. This video was so calming and comforting
I appreciate this SO much. I don't know if you are still following comments on this, but hey im 63 and will be spending new years on my own. Planning how to spend the hours definitely helps. ❤❤
I got a bad depression for the last two weeks I can't even make myself clean my own room. After you mentioned it, now I'm watching your vlog and cleaning my room for the first time since weeks ago. Thanks Luke.
Being alone would probably a little scary in the beginning, but just remember your loved ones don't really leave you, they are walking with you, just in a different lane.
Happy New Year, Luke.
🌻🙂
Alia Ris aw that’s so beautiful thank you, I really hope you’re doing better❤️ happy new year
I’ve been having a trash couple of days and I just wanna say thank you for making videos people can enjoy. You’re a very genuine person and one of the most honest on here I’ve found. Wishing you positivity and happiness in 2020.
Bailey Taylor thank you, hope 2020 is your year!❤️
❤️❤️❤️
there's always going to be parties, but quality time alone, even when you're sad, can be priceless. i hope as your journey to get to know yourself rolls along, that you will see the sweet young man that'a so clear to me.
happy new year, Luke!🌻
watching this because i will spend my new year’s eve alone
When you were talking about “feeling like people hate you/don’t want you around”, my heart dropped. I was completely alone too. It wasn’t as bad as last year, I’ve cried just a bit, got drunk just a bit (cuz I’m not gonna sacrifice clear skin that I’ve worked hard for for some alcohol) got a panic attack, popped some xan and then did some of my homework for my grammar for journalists class. It was kinda funny to do all that shit wasted. Kinda sad. But I’ve survived this year even tho I wanted to give up on life so many times.
Thank you for being so real and open. I hope this year is gonna bring you happiness, success and joy. 💝
Petra Uhráková stay strong! I hope 2020 is an amazing year for you❤️
Lowkey Luke thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot! 💕
Great editing in this video!! 😍
Being confident enough to do things on your own is really freeing... My mom asks how I go out to eat, go to a movie, etc., by myself. I always respond by saying that I'm not going to let being single or not having someone to always be with prevent me from doing what I want to do, see what I want to see, or experience what I want in life. Plus, it's kinda nice sometimes to be able to do what you want. Don't beat yourself up about working through your emotions and feelings 💜
Happy New Year and best wishes from Minneapolis my friend 😊
ErintheLiLBucK that’s so inspiring! And where I’m trynna get to. Happy New Years ❤️
@@LowkeyLuke just as you said, baby steps... It didn't happen right away, and don't get me wrong there are times I wish I had someone there with me during those moments be that I will always remember. And there are still times I decide not to go do something by myself because I don't want to be alone at that time... But even if it's something small like going to a favorite restaurant alone or as big as a vacation by myself, I never regret having that experience regardless of who was with me.
You inspire so many, including myself. What an honor to inspire you 💜 🤗
hey Luke honestly thank you for this video. im 18 and didnt go out yesterday and i felt horribly. I thought i was boring, that i had no friends and that i was waisting my youth. Its true that our society makes us feel bad if we dont do what everybody else is doing. and nowadays with social media that feeling is extremely present. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I hope you have an amazing year for you and you achieve all of your new year's resolutions!
Berta Rodrigue z glad you enjoyed this video, happy new year! I hope 2020 is an amazing year for you❤️
I went to a party on New Year’s Eve and spent the whole time wishing I was home, relaxing in my PJs. I no longer feel the need to be surrounded by people to feel good. I find as I get older that I really enjoy my alone time.
I will surely become like this tomorrow and I feel so sad 😭
Happy ney year🎊🎉🎊
@@Killbill217 happy new year!
me tooo :/ spending new years alone rn aaa i feel ur pain
@@tarunika935 virtual warm hugs for you! 🫂 it’s my first time spending it alone so it feels so weird just watching TH-cam and korean dramas to ease the loneliness. How about video calling your family?
This is my 5th new year alone buddy xD 2021 is in 2h so I wish you the best wishes if you to alone find someone online
Best of love ^^
I just found your second channel and it is quickly turning into one of my favorites
Dusty tysm❤️🥺
I absolutely LOVED this vlog, Luke! Everything from the cinematography to the more personal, emotional and "raw" subject matter.... obviously you should only share what you're comfortable with but I'd love to see similar videos like this in the future. I hope you know that you're such a kind and smart individual and you're going to make even better friends and better memories this year! I've been subbed to you since 10K on your channel and it has been so exciting to see you grow ❤
Summer Oswald aw thank you so much, really appreciate it🥺❤️ happy new year
love this video. i spent new years alone too and it was probably one of the worst nights i’ve had in a few months: had a huge existential crisis that has been going on for a while now and had some really really dark thoughts and i went to bed early like you and felt awful lmao but i felt much better in the morning. it’s hard being alone since - as you said - society makes you think that being alone means you’re a loser when in reality it’s SO important to learn how to be alone and enjoy your own company as you are the basis of everything and friendships and relationships only come after that. i can really relate to you and i hope you’re feeling better. i would love for you to document this period of your life, the lonely and learning to be alone period, as a way to embark on this journey together and feel support on both ends. sending you a hug!
Omg I feel the same. I don’t really have anyone to hang with. I don’t have friends. i even reconnected with people last year and they ghosted me. I feel like people hate me, dislike me. It even feels the same on social media. I try so hard, and not much comes out of it. So hopefully 2020 I can find real people who appreciate me for me.
Skitterkins yes leave this people behind and try meet new people, you just haven’t found the right friends but they’re out there and I hope you find them in 2020❤️
It’s just another night, another day…. I love it, you are adorable. Wish everyone has a wonderful year 2022
The beginning!!! YESS editing YESS angles YESS cinematic music!!! Luke didn't come to play in 2020 👏🏼
Marta Jódis right! Luke be giving us some storytelling up in here
7:41 Gosh boy why are you so cute?! Luke just bc you struggle with depression does NOT mean you have to be alone you are a precious soul! It does suck when it seems like ppl forget you. My heart goes out to you. What you shared IS relatable. You're home alone & I'm an only child. One day I realized that all my friends had siblings so... they all kinda just drifted off &, are living their lives. It does make you question if they were ever a friend. Yet, you're an amazing guy & things WILL get better for you! I love you Luke & pray you have better days. 🙏♥️🌻 🦋🌟🌸
I've never related to anyone in my life more than to you Luke💞
This video was wonderful and relatable. I've noticed the past couple of years how the pressure of society has grown on me. I've found myself thinking that doing things alone is somehow embarrassing. I stress terribly all celebrations (that aren't usually spend with family) with whom I go and where and make sure I'm not alone. I kinda hate my birthdays because I have too hight expations and usually I cry.
I do want to travel and live abroad from my homeland and I too have to get use to doing things myself.
I went from being in a long term relationship, in college in a sorority to coming home to family I was distant from, that long term relationship ending after getting pregnant, having no friends for two years because of my anxiety/depression to now finally being happy alone. Thriving w/ my daughter. This video reminds me a lot of the glimpses of light in that time, but also the times I felt as you perfectly described when I was feeling low & as if no one felt the same way, so thank you
Hi Luke, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the honesty in your vlogs. You don't pretend like everything is wonderful etc. It just makes me feel less alone and so comforted! I hope you keep vlogging, even if you're having a bad day :)
Spending time alone is very good for yourself! When i moved to another city to study last year, i didn't know anyone. I have now made some friends, but during the past year i did so many things i thought were weird or sressful alone: went to movie teather, went to an actual teather (to see Amelie musical), went to a cafe and also did all my shopping without anyone. For me the greatest thing was to go to different turist attractions and wandering around the city and getting to know the places. I did it all because at the time i didn't have anyone to go with, but i think that even people who have many friends should also force themselves to do stuff like that occasionally. It is refressing and relaxing.
Ps. I spent my new years alone too.
i cry this whole day .... and on top of that, my parents are toxic.. i can not deal with this anymore.. so help me God please
I've spent five years learning to love myself and spending significant holidays alone really helped me. The best thing I ever did both mentally and physically.
I stayed in this year too.. and sooo happy I didn't feel hungover this morning. Best start to this year!!
This video is great! I’m spending New Year’s Eve alone this year because all of my friends or family has other plans... I was feeling really down about it but watching this really brightened my day and another optimistic point of view on spending it with myself🥰
same
Luke: this is the start of something new
Me(crazy hsm fan): it feels sooo right to be here with you
Thank you for making this video! I went through a period of my life were I felt completly alone because I had a lot of social anxiety and wasn’t able to make friends. At that time I felt like the only lonely person in the planet... social media makes us think that everyone has great friends all the time and has a amazing life. So I know at that moment I would have really appreciated a video like this ❤️
Viviana Mora ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so happy you posted this vlog ❤️ I can relate on so many levels... I used to feel like this in general after I cut ties with some old friends who were only making me miserable, but after a while I realized that I can just do anything I want by myself and not care about what anyone else thinks. It's the society that has put these stupid "rules" on how we're supposed to feel over things and that's why once we overcome these rules we feel so much better! I really hope you have a great 2020 and I am looking forward to more videos on both your channels ❤️ I'm so glad you reacted to my troll riverdale edits a while ago because that's how I found your channels and I've been obsessed ever since 😅❤️
The Queen yeah I totally get that feeling and thank you! Happy new year❤️
@@LowkeyLuke 😍😍
i love you luke. you remind me of strength and persistence. thank you for sharing this with us. happy new year, i wish you all the best!
insanelyfangirling thank you, happy new year ❤️
i literally love this voice
I really admire people who loves to do things alone...
It just shows how they enjoy their own company!! :)
hey Luke, theres really nothing wrong with you. Everyone is just making a huuuuge deal about New Years and I feel like so many people are pressured by it. I wish I stayed home alone, instead I went to my friends, which was fine at first (I did have a breakdown beforehand) but then around 1 I felt so so bad.. And then spent the day after being hungover. It's fine to be alone, it's fine to choose yourself. Don't let others pressure you into thinking that you HAVE TO do something, just because others do it. Everyone is different!!
I felt everything that you said and every feeling you mentioned. 2 years ago I spent Christmas alone because it was the year I moved to another country for university and I was away from my family and friends. I felt exactly the way that you felt, thank you for sharing such a weird and sad state of mind that I know hurts a lot. Hope you have a great year! ✨🌻
It gets better as you get older, I promise! I spent New Years alone too and I didn’t even think about it. In fact I was elated to be alone because this year I put the brakes on a marriage that has been toxic for years. It’s all relative to where we are in our lives.
I recently discovered you and love your content! This vlog is wonderful!
8:34 I feel the exact same as you Luke, I can kind of relate to how you are feeling because I often spiral in my thoughts thinking about my friends and to be honest I don’t have the best friends either. I hope your feeling better, great vid x
I feel the same way, you are never alone
I also challenged my extreme FOMO by putting my hand up to work from 10pm - 6am. I felt all of these emotions too. I am always around people and it was nice to make some money but to just sit still and feel every emotion and be introspective. The more time you spend alone the easier it gets and the more you crave it. I am sure you will grow to adore your company so much ♡
Honestly I can’t remember the last time I was happy on New Years so I totally related to this vid😔
Raluca Marcu ❤️❤️❤️
Luke! You're great! There is an ebb and flow to life.... nothing wrong with spending a New Years Eve alone...you have many more to come. Learn to love yourself bc wherever you go there you are, my friend.
I'm here commenting, because I'm spending new year's eve alone, while everyone else has plans and get together. It's difficult to be away from your family.
But that's ok.
Happy new year everyone
Same here. Living in another country far away from my family. I will be spending alone.
Omg Luke the last time you uploaded was last decade 😱
I love doing things by myself. Going to the movies, eating, walks. Never been to the bar by myself, that's one I wanna try
Were all here for you luke. 2020 is your - our year, of being true to yourself. And if sometimes being alone is what happens, then that’s it. Spending time for yourself can be so refreshing. You are such an inspiration as someone that is taking the step to take life into their own hands and be honest. We love you💕 proud of u for eating that muffin alone
i´ll never stop saying it, your raw honesty about the way you´re feeling is incredibly refreshing and SO important. bottom of my heart, seeing someone voice the same thoughts i struggle with so much really truly means a lot. i hope you know that and continue doing it as much as you´re comfortable with. :) also, a very happy new year to you, luke
I love to take myself out on a date from time to time. I have a SO and I have friends, but there is something about spending time alone out, that makes me feel good about myself. I got over the fact that people might find it weird or judge me - I don't care. It gives me a weird sense of confidence, that I can go to a busy restaurant, order myself some food and a beer, read a book and not feel weird about it in the slightest. So good luck with your solo endeavors - once you get over the awkwardness, it feels pretty damn cool.
One year later I can completely relate.
Last time I was this early It was still 2019
All the things you've said and all of your feelings about loneliness are soo relatable, i want to thank you for showing us this part of young adult life, it's nice to know that i'm not the only one feeling this way and you should know that too :)
I have willingly spent the last two or three NYE alone. I find it much more relaxing and I honestly prefer it. I always spent the previous and next day with family or friends but that day is always just for my self (and well, my cat)
It’s liberating
I grew up with only my mom who was a care taker and she often worked on new years and xmas. And moved alot too so I had a couple new years like this. I really feel for you. But what doesnt kill u makes u stronger♥️
This . Is. Good. Shit. Luke💕 s/o to the “loners” & that’s totally okay. Thanks for sharing
I love that you're so real about it.Like you don't sugarcoat things and you're not acting like it's super easy to be comfortable and happy alone. You also show the struggle and the negative parts and it somehow makes me feel like I am not alone. So thanks for that and I wish you good luck for your journey ⭐
hey there! i myself struggle with anxiety a lot and i am very familiar with the negative thoughts that pollute your mind when you get emotional and hit by a wave of anxiety - but don't be disappointed in yourself or sad just because you spend new years alone, we are so conditioned to think that we have to spend new years with friends or family, that we get anxious and feel like we're missing out, when we're spending it alone. Honestly, you have so many more new years to come and i'm sure next time you'll mentally be in a much better place to either spend it alone confidently or go out and have the time of your life with new friends :) it's hard staying positive sometimes so don't beat yourself up if you're not!
spending time with yourself is so important
We’re always here for you and we love you 🥰
Well luke this was my 3rd year spending New Year Eve alone (since I moved out for university) so I totally get how you feel :"")
However it gets easier by time, it was the first time where I didn't cry during the countdown so I am kind of proud of myself x"D
My family hate me so currently I'm just spending all day upstairs.
I also spent New Years Eve alone for the first time this year and got a lot of anxiety before. I was invited to some parties but I knew I would feel terribly lost with them people and on them parties so I took a long bubble bath, listened to jazz music and read a nice book. And was so happy i deleted social media months ago bc it always gives me the worst feelings. Thanks for being so real, Luke, and happy new year! 🧡
came across your videos recently and just gotta say, from someone who spent the new year behind my mac to meet a design deadline, it’s okay if not every holiday is a big shindig. i’ve learned a lot about myself this past year and being okay flying solo has been one of the biggest lessons. you’re never alone though-if you’re ever in need of a friend to kick it with in LA, i got you. anyway, happy new year & cheers for personal growth in 2020! 💯
Honestly, I love being alone with my own thoughts now. Before, being alone & doing things alone kinda freaked me out...now it doesn't. I actually look forward to it. :] I went through somethings that rocked me emotionally & had to cope with it & get help. Now, I feel a whole lot better being alone witj my thoughts/company, trust me Luke, now it may seem weird or kinda scary, but you'll love it with time.
I feel you really. It's not even about new year's eve, I was so (and still am) depressed after that because I was a lot thinking about friends and not fitting in, generally feeling lonely. still hoping it to change or to just be ok with it. lots of love for everybody, loneliness sucks
hi luke! it's actually really nice to see this. i had planned to go to a big party with some close friends, but i was super anxious about it for days so i decided to stay home instead, for the sake of my mental helath. i actully doubted about my decision, especially today when i woke up to everyone's ig stories and posts, but seeing this, i feel better about it and know i took the right decision. thanks for sharing! mental health is important.
lucia. p always put your mental health first ❤️ happy new year 🎉
I'm spending tonight alone for the first time since i was 15 aka, 14 years ago. every single one of my friends are not only in relationships, but parents too. I've had a couple of invitations of mates however siilar to you, i don't know many people there which means i'll drink which means i'll end up acting like a drunk anxious twat all night which i don't want to do. However never thought i'd spend the last NYE of my 20's alone at home. but that's just part of life. it's not that i have no friends, but their priorities have changed and that's okay! i'm going have a morning walk across the common (leaving in 15 mins to catch the sunrise) a pamper day, a takeaway and a walk down to the beach to watch the fireworks at midnight. This is just all apart of getting older and I think i'm okay with that. I have some great plans and travels booked in for the ny AND i'm going to finally learn to drive so it's onwards and upwards! Basically my dude, you're not alone
Thank you for sharing this with us, even though this year I did get to spend new years eve with my significant other and two close friends, for the last couple of years before that I have always struggled to find something to do and been panicking weeks before because I knew I wouldn’t have a party to go to or even just be able to have a chill night with friends, and I was always really afraid of having no one to spend new years eve with.
So this video did really resonate with me and I’m looking forward to much more great content from you in 2020 ^^
this is so real! i went to hang out with some "friends" for nye and it was horrible. after a few hours of faking it i left on foot across the city for half an hour (i may have cried once or twice, i won't confirm or deny that) and slept it off. i regreted so much not staying at home alone. i just imagined it would be fun to be with them but it was so not the case. as we age we should accept that not all friendships need to last a lifetime and not everyone really cares about what your feeling. i'll be less clingy that's for sure :)
I just love that everyone has a nye like this, it's an experience that we can all learn about ourselves from - hang in there mate!!!! It's gonna be a great year
I can’t stress enough how proud I am of you I really can’t I wouldn’t have been able to do all this alone and deal with it as good as you did I’m so so so proud of you honestly your a good person xxx
Thank you for posting this. I understand how you feel. Iv spent the past months also learning to enjoy my own company but New Years I felt more alone than ever. There will always be highs and lows but can only continue to move forward and look at the positive. I appreciate the time you put into youtube and yourself and thank you for being so honest as well as open. Also thank you for helping me get out of bed this morning. I can’t wait to see more from you this year. 🙃💖🎉Happy 2020 Luke
This video makes me emotional af 😭😭 but I really love it ❤ I can totally relate , please do more videos like this
Hey I know how you feel but don’t worry about it so much. This time of year happens every year and it’s not always going to be the same. Next holiday you might spend it with friends as the future is unpredictable. Just put yourself out there, be kind, be a king and focus on what makes you happy.
This is really weird for me I am introverted and every year I celebrated with friends and I didnt feel especially happy but this one when I am alone cuz my friend that holds the group together is going to celebrate it in another country I don't feel happy either cuz social rule is that you have to celebrate with friends idk what to think I have serious problems determining my attitude
