same, it just doesn't work. strangers on the street won''t suddenly fill the void of family and social trauma, unless someone is that desperately in denial to pretend it's that easy to forget and move on. it takes people who aren't strangers and have empathy to build the bridges to make being out in the world worth it FIRST.

I once felt so lonely that when a female friend of mine hugged me, I was happy for over a week I got a cat and now I never felt sad or lonely again I swear cats understand emotions better than humans
I've been emotionless and cold hearted for years now and honestly I got used to it to the point where I push people away and started isolating myself from family and social connections
While there may be reasons I don't know, at the very least don't let it keep you from new connections. As humans we crave interaction. Its such a powerful force. I know how hard it can be, maybe not to the extent that you do, but there are things worth feeling, and risking feelings for.
I've been there, except family are the ones who disconnected from me. We are social creatures. Sometimes we have to find new people to be our family and friends
Lying quietly in my bed with my cat, listening to him purring, and thinking about small but valuable things that meant a lot to me that day. Example: meeting up with a married couple I don’t see very often, and thinking about the sweet smiles on their dear faces. It doesn’t take much for what the world would call a “small” thing to become a treasured memory in the heart.🙏❤️🐈
I really needed this one today. Didn't sleep well, was tired and cranky all day. One of my things is doing the cleaning in the house. It not only needs to get done, but is my contribution to the community, since I live in a house with several others. We all do our part, but I go above and beyond with things like cleaning windows, door frames, mopping the floor and stuff most people don't regularly think of. I live a very solitary social life, but usually make a point of spending a few minutes here and there throughout the day chatting with the guys and making jokes before I once again return to my room for 2 hours. It's a delicate balance I have going on here. I also regain energy by reading books, which I have plenty of. I'm an INTJ, if you're curious.
Wonderful video! These actually help, make a journal, reach out for support, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I discovered the hole in my heart was a lack of self love/care. I abandoned myself so often in care of other people's emotions I couldn't be present within my own mind. Because I self abandoned, I suffered. I thought it was selfish to think of myself first. However I learned that in order to be "there" for others I need to be there for myself first and foremost. You cannot give what you do not possess. To the person reading this you are loved. 💜
That Video just naild my situation. What do you do if the only reason to wake up and stand up is the reason that this is just how you do things? I feel so alone my chest screams please someone hug me and hold me thight and yet i'm too shy and introverted i can't manage to talk to anyone outside and all the dating app's just don't work. I just want it to stop. I recently start crying just out of no where so i don't even want to leave my apartment anymore cause i don't want anyone looking at a 31 year old man crying like a kid...
I wish I knew how to help. But at the very least I wanted to highlight how brave you are for going on despite that heavy feeling in your chest. I hope you'll manage to get over the hurdles that make it harder for you and that you find someone to walk that road with you.
That gratitude journal is like the Christian approach of counting your blessings every day and thanking God for what He's done for you before as well as how He has helped you every day
When my world was destroyed, I started a gratitude journal. A "few things each day" was ridiculous. So I aimed for one. Sometimes all I could come up with was breathing. But, it was only things to be grateful for. So, when I was especially down, reading it would help.
@@recoveringsoul755 counting your blessings every day is something that Christians see as a gift as well. If we're still here and we still wake up every morning, that means God isn't done with us yet and we still have a purpose that he intended us for. So, every day that you're alive is a gift from God. Lamentations 3:22-23: "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness" when you look at a verse like This, sometimes it's all you need even when you're going through a rough time in your life
@@recoveringsoul755 counting your blessings every day is something that Christians do to remind themselves that they're alive and every day you wake up again means that God isn't done with you yet and he still has a plan for your life that can't happen without you Lamentations 3:22-23: "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness" Looking at a verse like this even when you're going through a rough time really helps when you need a reminder of what God can do for you every day even when you might not ask him to
Merely intending to enjoy what you already have can make those things more enjoyable. I am grateful for my soft and warm bed, and now it suddenly feels softer and warmer.
Dang I wish “He” did something for me after all of these years of suffering and hoping for help but either he doesn’t exist or even god doesn’t like me
When you feel good about something, share it with others right away, and I don't mean "share" by posting on your social media. You could share by calling or texting a friend
I've been on this planet for 28 years. And I've been searching for a way to fill the void for the better part of 20 of those years. There is no solution. Knowing what I want only makes it an unattainable goal. You can't force love to happen, and at this point in life, it's too late to think it'll happen. I've given up on fighting the void, it's simply a part of me now. Nothing and no one is going to save me from the pain, but at this point I'm numb enough to not really feel it much. Don't go giving out false hope unless you really understand the depths of the void
@@taygillam7075 only 28 years on this planet and you wanna talk about a void being unfillable is crazyyyyy. I’m a firm believer in manifestation. If you keep telling yourself stuff like this then you’re making it a reality. We all have our own individuality which makes humanity so beautiful yet complicated given certain circumstances. Billions of people on this planet, if there’s a will there’s a way and I know someday you’ll fill that void and look back to this comment thinking “damn…they were right I just had to push a little harder”. Hmu if times ever get too rough though, always here to offer a different perspective on things or give out some confidence boosting : )

@taygillam7075 oh honey, u are soo young yet. There is definitely time to turn it around. As my dad always said, "you can do anything you set your mind to".
you can do all the other advice til you're at death's door, but reaching out to friends and/or strangers who make it abundantly clear they feel no responsibility to care about your needs, will never feed the starvation of missing connections with family and friends you need to be able to trust in order to build a life for yourself. making new friends over old wounds rocks boats and causes drama that there is just no energy left to contend with. isolation is literally the only safety from the hurricane of everyone else's self-obsession outside.
This month my cat who has been with me and my family for 18 years had passed away and on his absence I realized how his companionship has brought me alot of emotional fulfillment like he was my guardian angel in disguise, the kind of emotional connection I wish I wish I could establish with another human seen as how modern society struggles to remember what we are really meant to prioritize instead of money and status and popularity. Recently we got a new kitten for whom we are ready to give him the best life possible once more.
My emotional hunger makes me seek comfort foods because it's easiest to access. These days I try to strengthen existing relationships, have gratitude and offer compliments. Mindless scrolling is hard to not to do when you're feeling awful but I hope everyone struggling can get through it.
I've never been here this fast ..thank you, I've been facing so much difficulty in this..I cried a lot nd needed some comfort perhaps hug but there was none ,I didn't know whom to talk about it or how to...I hope this helps me..thank you
Try Jesus honey, you won't regret it. Resources like these are great too, especially a channel like this that does it so well. But Jesus is the answer. Just an heartfelt prayer to him, telling him everything u think and feel, ask him all the questions.
Please speak to your doctor counselling if it’s an option,it was life changing for me especially if you don’t have any friends or family you can talk to?it really does help if you find the right therapist🫶 iv been there before to 🧡 and as you can see from all the comments and views of this video your not alone, this will pass proud of you for being open and talking about how your feeling that’s a great start, please make sure and be kind to yourself along the way ❤
Just went through a breakup, and I needed this. I wouldn't say she was a toxic person at all, which makes it harder because I just really miss her and all the times she made me smile. :) I'm really grateful for what we had while it lasted. I hope she's alright.
When emotional hunger strikes me, the same strategies never work twice. I always need something different every single time. Of course the one thing i know for certain keeps me feeling better is something that's damn near impossible. How do you convince someone that you share living space with to completely stop talking to you? When hearing their voice triggers your ptsd that that person doesn't believe you have, how do you tell them to stop? How do you regain composure after those wayward interactions? How can you stop getting triggered by the mere sound of someone's voice when they won't stop talking to you no matter how much you pull away and clearly do not want to interact with them?
i am so sorry you're trapped with such evil behavior being forced on you. i'm at a loss for what to do in this kind of situation too, but you are not alone. it is a living hell to have nowhere else to go and no one else to talk to who takes you seriously as a lifeform. the only thing that feels like it would help is if there was a Human Rescuing Service For Traumatized Abuse Victims, but no societal institution wants to take responsibility for how much abuse exists every second of every day. it is not your fault and i wish you the best from the bottom of my heart. you deserve to get away from that person in a way that you don't have to hear them ever again if you don't want to, and this is your permission to try anything that feels right to get away. you deserve freedom from triggers.
I love painfully craving for all of the options mentioned and distracting myself from my existence cus the people that surround me are distressing and i will not trust them with everything 🔥
Cool-videos! My five-year relationship came to an end a month ago. The love of my life chose to leave, and I can't stop thinking about him; I love him so deeply. I've done everything I can to win him back, but nothing seems to work. I'm feeling frustrated and can't imagine my life with anyone else. Despite my efforts to move on, I just can't shake the thoughts of him. I don’t know why I’m sharing this, (but I really miss him)
Saying goodbye to someone you love is difficult; I know this from my 12-year relationship ending. But I was unable to simply let him go, so I made every effort to get him back. I eventually sought aid from a spiritual counselor, who was able to help me regain his affection.
I just sought him up online thanks to your helpful information. remarkable I just checked Father Obah Eze online, and he's really genuine. Thank you again ❤
Reminds me of something said in Naruto: Shippuden. "A hole in the heart". No wonder Kushina, Gaara, Naruto and B have something acting as an anchor for them. Not just love. But that emotional connection.
Be careful with the things that you have exercise. It's not reasons for someone to like you. That can quickly dig the pit deeper when paired with a desire for a partner if not careful. It can lead to questioning if there is some other thing about yourself that pushes people away in spite of all you have to offer. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I have been falling into this pit myself the past few weeks so wanted to give the warning to others.
Not gonna lie, since I'm so busy and overwhelmed, my only available emotional first aid kit is having a FWB. It gives us a way to satisfy and experiment new stuff without the requirements of emotional connection and relationship maintenance.
Я сейчас прохожу этап сильного эмоционального голода.. Живу в России . У нас почти заблокировали Ютуб, почти невозможно смотреть.. Для меня в последнее время эта платформа стала другом и учителем и в один момент это всё резко оборвалось.... Оххх, сколько невыносимой боли сразу.. 😢😢 Ощущение опустошенности .. А ведь когда-то я мечтала избавится от зависимости соц. сетей.. Печальный парадокс жизни ( Спасибо за хорошие советы и поддержку. Желаю прцветания вашему каналу.. ❤
I always chatted my friend to hang outside for lunch cuz I feel isolated of my family members are difficult in housechores but he seems nice and amused that he shared me some good conversations about his hobbies and interests and another friend who always talked to me about cosplay events to wear but he shared some good laughter in positive ways to feel joyful than my family and relatives
i yearn for love and connection because i dont have it... i love myself but its not the same as love from another..the only way to satiate that hunger is to receive love and connection sometimes it is exactly what i need i am isolated and alone and it hurts and its not healthy, no amount of mindfulness or self love will help this when its love you need..i am content with my efforts i love and respect myself but i still need friends and a lover because im human and humans need connection as we are social beings none of us can truly be alone it is against our nature
I wished I wouldn't taste anything, then I would eat more healthy. But since I can taste and my dopamin is triggered through junkfood, I keep coming back to it.
Unfortunately I am insatiable I've tried filling the cups of others just to be begged for more In turn nobody has been able to give me enough I can't list anything I an happy about or grateful for I have not gotten any better even by helping others or trying to help myself
Have you tried checking on what you feel like you're missing? I had to look at things my emotional hunger is telling me I was missing. I was missing: safe space, a sense of connection, and physical comfort. The physical comfort came in hugging a pillow or stuffed animal or wrapping myself in a blanket burrito.
The only emotional "first aid kit" which I have, is this chanel. And yea I have all this mentioned in the video, but in my case it is the need of "connection" But not any kind of connection. I mean a special, deeper and healthy ones. BUT on the other hand I actually don't feel lonely. It is a need in connection in an actual partnership. BUT some complicated life obstacles causes that I can't have it...
The thing about these videos is they mean well, but the suggestions can’t be used by some of us. I just wish I had answers for how to feel differently in my situation. Anyone here in the comments, I hope they help in some way and you’re able to gain a little relief from your pain.
Id like to comment about #4. Trying to fill someone else's cup while your cup is low or near empty isn't exactly a good idea. It can be more exhausting and can suck energy that you need to care for yourself. I am not saying its a completely bad idea. But, I would do a self check/self care to make sure you can before you work on filling another cup.
this, so much.. like, how does one justify reaching out when people can't imagine that one could think or feel differently than they expect, and then feel entitled to joke or insult about it? the risk taken to open up provides no reward of connection, only punishment via shame. being ostracized is not the choice nor action of the one who gets ostracized
You know often I see these videos sometimes it's interesting to here about some of the stuff that gets talked about but the ones that I resonate with always end up leaving me feeling either depressed or borderline depressed cause it's like you implie if you try these things these problems will get better and idk very often it's very much easier said then done maybe make a video on how to deal with this would be interesting to hear about though
I liked the video and it highlighted some interesting points I hadn't considered before, but please don't make those sound effects a regular occurrence in your future videos. They were *really distracting* for me and honestly kinda made me feel like I was watching something goofy on TikTok. 😥 I'm sure most viewers didn't feel this way and I've been subscribed for years, so I know that's not how you intended for it to come across. I am just giving my feedback because I'm not so easily ticked off normally, but these sounds whenever anything popped on screen unnerved me in less than a minute of watching. I hope this doesn't sound too mean. I really liked everything else in the video and I love your channel. 💖
Would love if youtube showed me all of your videos in my feed and not only some "chosen ones"😑 But they are doing what they want. I changed notifications to "all,"maybe it helps🤷♂️
but does the romantic connection with someone come in the end? I've never had a girlfriend at 23 and it's been a huge weight for at least a whole year.
These always seemingly hit at the right time

For me, going to a public place to find connection when I'm already feeling disconnected makes me feel worse and more isolated
Same
same, this is a weird advice🤔
It takes effort to get to that public place. It's something to give yourself credit for. Because I actually don't like going to one myself.
same, it just doesn't work. strangers on the street won''t suddenly fill the void of family and social trauma, unless someone is that desperately in denial to pretend it's that easy to forget and move on. it takes people who aren't strangers and have empathy to build the bridges to make being out in the world worth it FIRST.
I get the idea; but the world isn’t so compassionate nor accepting of someone who is sad.

I once felt so lonely that when a female friend of mine hugged me, I was happy for over a week
I got a cat and now I never felt sad or lonely again
I swear cats understand emotions better than humans
You just needed a pussycat
Your little angel in disguise 🥹
the part about a female friend of yours hugging you made you feel happy for over a week is so relatable

I've been emotionless and cold hearted for years now and honestly I got used to it to the point where I push people away and started isolating myself from family and social connections
I'm the same and I'm pretty much hopeless by now, don't know if you are too, but just to say you're not alone.

Just went through a breakup, and I needed this. I wouldn't say she was a toxic person at all, which makes it harder because I just really miss her and all the times she made me smile. :) I'm really grateful for what we had while it lasted. I hope she's alright.
When emotional hunger strikes me, the same strategies never work twice. I always need something different every single time. Of course the one thing i know for certain keeps me feeling better is something that's damn near impossible.
How do you convince someone that you share living space with to completely stop talking to you?
When hearing their voice triggers your ptsd that that person doesn't believe you have, how do you tell them to stop? How do you regain composure after those wayward interactions? How can you stop getting triggered by the mere sound of someone's voice when they won't stop talking to you no matter how much you pull away and clearly do not want to interact with them?
i am so sorry you're trapped with such evil behavior being forced on you. i'm at a loss for what to do in this kind of situation too, but you are not alone. it is a living hell to have nowhere else to go and no one else to talk to who takes you seriously as a lifeform. the only thing that feels like it would help is if there was a Human Rescuing Service For Traumatized Abuse Victims, but no societal institution wants to take responsibility for how much abuse exists every second of every day. it is not your fault and i wish you the best from the bottom of my heart. you deserve to get away from that person in a way that you don't have to hear them ever again if you don't want to, and this is your permission to try anything that feels right to get away. you deserve freedom from triggers.
I love painfully craving for all of the options mentioned and distracting myself from my existence cus the people that surround me are distressing and i will not trust them with everything 🔥
I swear psych2go must have cameras watching me or something 😆😭
it was a perfect timing. I have emotional hunger and this video helps me thank you:)
There's a psychic behind this channel!!!
This actually really helped me realize why I keep randomly wanting to get back with my ex even though I know she's toxic
I died of emotional starvation about 3 years ago after a 20+ year-long battle.
Same. I've tried all these suggestions and I'm still lonely and depressed.
this is painfully relatable. i am so sorry for your loss of self.
This is exactly what I needed right now
Thank you for making this video. I need it.
Cool-videos! My five-year relationship came to an end a month ago. The love of my life chose to leave, and I can't stop thinking about him; I love him so deeply. I've done everything I can to win him back, but nothing seems to work. I'm feeling frustrated and can't imagine my life with anyone else. Despite my efforts to move on, I just can't shake the thoughts of him. I don’t know why I’m sharing this, (but I really miss him)
Saying goodbye to someone you love is difficult; I know this from my 12-year relationship ending. But I was unable to simply let him go, so I made every effort to get him back. I eventually sought aid from a spiritual counselor, who was able to help me regain his affection.
It's interesting! How can I contact a spiritual counselor most efficiently, and how did you find one?
Father Obah Eze is a wonderful spiritual counselor who has the ability to bring back your ex.
He can assist you; he is Father Obah Eze, and he possesses immense powers.
I just sought him up online thanks to your helpful information. remarkable
I just checked Father Obah Eze online, and he's really genuine. Thank you again ❤
thank you I was lost for years but I think I know how to handle my situation now
Hm, what to do when you’ve already filled the void with hate and anger and just… spite for your very existence?
Reminds me of something said in Naruto: Shippuden. "A hole in the heart". No wonder Kushina, Gaara, Naruto and B have something acting as an anchor for them. Not just love. But that emotional connection.
thank you bro.
Be careful with the things that you have exercise. It's not reasons for someone to like you. That can quickly dig the pit deeper when paired with a desire for a partner if not careful. It can lead to questioning if there is some other thing about yourself that pushes people away in spite of all you have to offer. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I have been falling into this pit myself the past few weeks so wanted to give the warning to others.
Not gonna lie, since I'm so busy and overwhelmed, my only available emotional first aid kit is having a FWB. It gives us a way to satisfy and experiment new stuff without the requirements of emotional connection and relationship maintenance.
I use things like that crocheting and playing with my kitties
This is good sorted out things I am going through.
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO 😭😭😭
Life will give answers after the test
Wow, I totally resonate with this and I myself made a video about this ❤❤❤
Glad to see I'm not alone ❤❤❤
Я сейчас прохожу этап сильного эмоционального голода.. Живу в России . У нас почти заблокировали Ютуб, почти невозможно смотреть.. Для меня в последнее время эта платформа стала другом и учителем и в один момент это всё резко оборвалось....
Оххх, сколько невыносимой боли сразу.. 😢😢 Ощущение опустошенности ..
А ведь когда-то я мечтала избавится от зависимости соц. сетей.. Печальный парадокс жизни (
Спасибо за хорошие советы и поддержку. Желаю прцветания вашему каналу.. ❤
Great video. That popping/knocking sound effect is VERY grating though. It's constant too.
I always chatted my friend to hang outside for lunch cuz I feel isolated of my family members are difficult in housechores but he seems nice and amused that he shared me some good conversations about his hobbies and interests and another friend who always talked to me about cosplay events to wear but he shared some good laughter in positive ways to feel joyful than my family and relatives
🙏🏻 Thank you.
i yearn for love and connection because i dont have it... i love myself but its not the same as love from another..the only way to satiate that hunger is to receive love and connection sometimes it is exactly what i need i am isolated and alone and it hurts and its not healthy, no amount of mindfulness or self love will help this when its love you need..i am content with my efforts i love and respect myself but i still need friends and a lover because im human and humans need connection as we are social beings none of us can truly be alone it is against our nature
Lack of meaning drove me to alcoholism. Once I got help with finding meaning in life and help with my mental health I got out of the alcohol pit.
i'm glad you found the help you need
Thank you for this, Psy!
I wished I wouldn't taste anything, then I would eat more healthy. But since I can taste and my dopamin is triggered through junkfood, I keep coming back to it.
You guys should help a friend of time in need
Unfortunately I am insatiable
I've tried filling the cups of others just to be begged for more
In turn nobody has been able to give me enough
I can't list anything I an happy about or grateful for
I have not gotten any better even by helping others or trying to help myself
Have you tried checking on what you feel like you're missing? I had to look at things my emotional hunger is telling me I was missing. I was missing: safe space, a sense of connection, and physical comfort. The physical comfort came in hugging a pillow or stuffed animal or wrapping myself in a blanket burrito.
The only emotional "first aid kit" which I have, is this chanel. And yea I have all this mentioned in the video, but in my case it is the need of "connection" But not any kind of connection. I mean a special, deeper and healthy ones. BUT on the other hand I actually don't feel lonely. It is a need in connection in an actual partnership. BUT some complicated life obstacles causes that I can't have it...
The thing about these videos is they mean well, but the suggestions can’t be used by some of us.
I just wish I had answers for how to feel differently in my situation.
Anyone here in the comments, I hope they help in some way and you’re able to gain a little relief from your pain.
We are moving to an increasingly unempathetic, divided world. However hard it was...it will get worse.
Yup. Definitely not helping with the loneliness
I love this channel, you guys help a lot
Id like to comment about #4. Trying to fill someone else's cup while your cup is low or near empty isn't exactly a good idea. It can be more exhausting and can suck energy that you need to care for yourself. I am not saying its a completely bad idea. But, I would do a self check/self care to make sure you can before you work on filling another cup.
I just take deep breaths. That sometimes doesnt work. So, i bear it thinking that everyone in class hates me for no reason.
It's hard to connect when people always make you think wtf is wrong with you? 😅
this, so much.. like, how does one justify reaching out when people can't imagine that one could think or feel differently than they expect, and then feel entitled to joke or insult about it? the risk taken to open up provides no reward of connection, only punishment via shame. being ostracized is not the choice nor action of the one who gets ostracized
This has got to be some suspicious coincidence because I was just feeling so out of my mind all alone in my room.
Perfect. Thanks
This video helped me a lot !
I love your videos they are amazing
I needed this
That's actually what i need rn
social media is the worst
I dont understand my needs. I was not allowed to have needs for 25 years. Now i have to re-learn.
I’m here right now…
What do you do when emotional hunger is so normal that you barely think about it but it never goes away
thank you for existing psych2go
You know often I see these videos sometimes it's interesting to here about some of the stuff that gets talked about but the ones that I resonate with always end up leaving me feeling either depressed or borderline depressed cause it's like you implie if you try these things these problems will get better and idk very often it's very much easier said then done maybe make a video on how to deal with this would be interesting to hear about though
I've never met new people at a coffee shop.🤔
God I love this channel
I need advise on how to get through toxic relationships with abusive partner that bullies
Hey how do you always know what's going on in my life psych2go?😂😂
Why does this channel always post my exact struggles bro😭
When your wife or husband leaves this world, you are left with a physical, emotional and spiritual void.
On point
That's all. I can't do this. I'm exhausted. Everyone else does this.
I watch this for my own personal torture now.
Can ypi.make a video aboit thats not love but emotional hunger
I liked the video and it highlighted some interesting points I hadn't considered before, but please don't make those sound effects a regular occurrence in your future videos. They were *really distracting* for me and honestly kinda made me feel like I was watching something goofy on TikTok. 😥
I'm sure most viewers didn't feel this way and I've been subscribed for years, so I know that's not how you intended for it to come across. I am just giving my feedback because I'm not so easily ticked off normally, but these sounds whenever anything popped on screen unnerved me in less than a minute of watching.
I hope this doesn't sound too mean. I really liked everything else in the video and I love your channel. 💖
it been 18 years maybe i need help
Yes!
Relatable
Would love if youtube showed me all of your videos in my feed and not only some "chosen ones"😑
But they are doing what they want.
I changed notifications to "all,"maybe it helps🤷♂️
I yearn for this life To be over
Lovely
I have such a hole inside...😢 But I am trying to letting love and Jesus fill it.
but does the romantic connection with someone come in the end? I've never had a girlfriend at 23 and it's been a huge weight for at least a whole year.
I long for a partner soooo badly its eating me alive.
I can't say I want to be in a relationship with a girl,but I want someone to talk open heartedly...
I crave a connection, but im disabled and im homebound. It's extremely isolating
IM SO EARLY OMG❤
i hate being a human, it’s too complicated
