I get what you mean... there's value in art that tells a story without a clean bookend which promises a happy ending. Which is to say I'm kind of sorry for the continuations I've made to this story in my other videos 😅
I'm not lonely. I just work for the government. If I interfere with the people, they would cheat with their wives or he will and there will be less murdering and women getting their drinks spiked and getting assaulted no Child Trafficking or adults praying on small children
Really captures how our loneliness and anxiety takes control of us but we don't want that, yet we try and capture those moments of joy that other people have
This video really makes me feel better. It feels and sounds happy yet the lyrics are slightly depressing, its like the perfect mix of satisfaction and yearning. Like not knowing what exactly you want but knowing you want something and even if your happy in the moment there’s always that moment when it ends and your back to that missing feeling. This is a really nice video that feels like getting a long awaited hug, Thank you 🥩
UA-cam recommended me this song a couple of months ago. I’m so glad to have found this in my recommended; the lineless style reminiscent of old French landscape artists and the subtle animation are just SUBLIME. The music and visuals just fit so damn well together to present self isolation and loneliness in a way words can’t describe. I can’t imagine how long this must have taken; AMAZING WORK!! 🫶💕
As the sort of aromantic introvert that can go weeks without face-to-face human contact, this kinda defines my dilemma. Honestly, my greatest fear is that I AM capable of love, I just haven't found that Special Someone to awaken it.
The song also hits hard for me as an aroace introvert. I am able to survive multiple days with minimal face-to-face human contact. I feel generally satisfied with my life besides the butt load of work I have, but something severely missing is friends. I stay awake at night and sleep in during the day as an attempt to prolong my relaxing, peaceful night.
I'm amazed by this hitting 100,000. I'm not going to take a large amount of credit for the attention, because this video would never have existed without the music behind it. Thank you sincerely though for liking my work. I'll start by saying that I don't really deserve this. The only thing I've ever been somewhat good at has been art. Even then I'm not very good, specifically in my productivity, and I always intended this channel to simply be a place to archive my projects. I suppose I should be glad that the things I create can bring some good to people's lives, even if I didn't intend for it.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing your incredible work. It has deeply touched me (I've felt like this before, so I can relate to both the song and the art) and I'm sure it also had an impact on others. I really like your artstyle btw. It can be hard to see the value in your own work and to struggle with feelings of self-worth, I've been there too. But know that what you create is meaningful. Your art has a unique beauty that goes beyond technical skill, it carries emotion and authenticity, which is something truly special. I recognize that it takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and honest about your struggles. If ever you feel overwhelmed, please consider reaching out to someone you trust or a professional. You deserve support and kindness, just as much as anyone else. Your message at the end is touching and I hope you can extend that same compassion to yourself. I hope only the best for you, even if I don't know you personally. Take care!
Hey, dont be harsh on yourself, i know the struggle to a imaculate person today is real, but thats just not real, none of this is real, is created by your experiences and people around you, but dont let them take your soul away, doing your best is all that it takes, and if someone doesent believe in you, find people who do, is hard today, but not impossible. Anyway, your work is amazing, you can feel every bit of emotion you put into this, and thats more than majority of artist do this days, be proud of yourself, you are wonderfull
From someone that's down the same road, you're doing fine. The whole thing is difficult, for some more than others, but you're talented, and you keep in touch with your emotional self. That's worth a lot, I think. Idk, I'm just giving advices I don't follow myself. I have this (probably harmful) thought that to be a good artist you have to be fuc*ed up somehow, tortured artist and all that. It's likely just something I say to feel better about my shortcomings, but, being the way that you are is what led you to make the art that you make. I have a hard time being proud of myself, but I try to be proud of the art I make at least. I hope you're proud of the art you make as well because it's really nice.
Thank you very much mate. And to you as well. You shouldn't be so harsh on yourself y'know. You are a much better person than you think you are and are deserving of love. There are people out there in your life that love you lots and don't think you let them down in the slightest. And you will most likely meet new people who would care lots about you too. At the very least you got all of us down here in the comments cheering you on. 😁😁 Anyways take care of yourself.
I've been through this pseudo-depression. In the end I realized life is about doing what you want, and in reality while I desired for friendships and love I never actually wanted to put in the effort to get any of those things. My feeling of desire was not one of actual desire, it was a feeling of jealousy and envy and a feeling of missing out. In truth I never desired to be in those friendships, I was just scared of missing out on things I felt everyone else were experiencing, and so jealous that they had the lives and friendships and experiences that I wanted, while in reality if I were them and if I were given all those things I thought I desired, in the end it wouldn't work out and I would give up on all of it, because it wasn't what I really wanted, it was what I thought I wanted, because I was scared. I'm not scared anymore. I'm happy and alone. And maybe someday I'll talk, and it won't be so silent anymore.
Thank you for this comment. I relate to this so much! When people try to talk to me, I am just so tired or just can't be bothered to respond. I very much relate to feeling that I might be missing out on those things in life, but then again there are endless things that we don't even know that we are missing out on. Hence, I am going to just be who I am currently am without necessarily forcing myself to change or conform to something that I don't really necessarily need in my life. ❤
This song is that old? O.o Wow... Is that like, hmm... doing the math, I think that's like... 1969? O.o Wow, really? :O It really does sound a lot more like an indie song... :?
I love the art on this piece. Like at 2:03, how even though it's heavily stylized, you can tell exactly what it's meant to depict - the out of focus lights of a city skyline at night.
The comfort and certainty from intentionally isolating myself is too strong to even feel like doing the opposite, its even worse if you do actually find happiness in loneliness
Not really. Finding happines in loneliness is better than being angry, sad an frustrated because you are in a horrible relationship, or being sad and lonely. Being happy, if you are not hurting anyone, is what matters. Well, at least is what this new generation says all the time.
what a cool artstyle! also it makes me feel a bit more at peace, knowing someone out there also knows the feeling of loneliness. Ironically, it makes me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you for making this
I've been feeling a bit... out of my mind recently. This describes what I've been feeling a bit well, though not precisely. I do not feel like I can relate to anyone in my life, and I'm scared that all it takes is to try to open up to others because I have tried and failed so many times to open up to everyone in my life. Now all I do is wait for people to open up themselves and then go around their sense instead of having to burden them with my specific sense of self. It is not like I have anything interesting to personally share with others anyway, especially considering the type of person I am inside and how I need to hide that person anyway or risk being sent off to an insane asylum. At least I'm slowly starting to forget about what my less-healthy side is like, that will be a temporary good riddance even though I know it will come back like it always does.
I feel ya. I don't really have any advice besides trying to open yourself a little bit each time you have the chance, and maybe you'll find out that other people are willing to listen, or maybe not. I still bottle all my feelings to an unhealthy degree, but since i started doing this, each time i do it the weight on my chest gets just that little bit lighter.
I listened to this song the other day in the radio but I never expected to exist an animatic using it and I never knew the meaning was that sad. You just gained a new sub! The style’s super cute~ By the way, the song’s called “After Hours” by The Velvet Underground!
This goes right into my “favorites” playlist. I love your art style - it’s simplicity and nice colors and character design make it cute and sad at the same time which perfectly fits the song
This song sounds like it could've been made in 2010s or even 2020s. The fact that it's actually from the time when my grandparents were still teenagers is so bizzare
idk what this is really about. But to me it resonates with my fear of relationships, I spent like a year or more closing the door to everyone that got close, often self-destructing the few relationships I did have because I was so comfortable being lonely. It took a while for me to realize the kind of jail I had entrapped myself in and I never figured out what exactly made me this way but I think it might been that I felt abandoned by everyone I met and liked after the year 2020, everyone just stopped talking to me, even online friends.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head since I saw it. The song is really haunting in its accuracy. Seeing all the human connection you're missing out on can make it tempting to "close the door", IE to shut out reality and cocoon yourself in coping mechanisms, hoping that eventually you will adjust to permanent night and become blissfully ignorant of what you're missing. The animation goes well with it, particularly the idea of a mime - surrounded by people but unable to speak, separated from them by an invisible box. I hope things get better for all of us.
@@johncruelty1 idk, i just feel alone and like im confused if im the only person who feels that way, cause others make social interaction look so easy :(
I wish it could happen to me too. Seeing a bunch of people have fun while having no good friends by your side makes the feeling of loneliness so much stronger. I wish everyone had friends they can count on and have fun with
WAAAGH your artstyle is so pretty 🥹🥹 i love how you composed this storyboard!! it's so lovely!! i can't wait for what's in your works bc this is so good!! you're an inspiration because this style is definitely my cup of tea 😭
I'm an introvert, but I'm really good at socializing. Many people have this odd assumption that being good at socializing means that you're an extrovert, and if you're an introvert, you're automatically shy. But, shyness is fear of others, introversion is merely getting socially exhausted after a while. I am a great conversationalist, and I can be very animated and be the center of the party, but after that, I need to basically vegetate in my bed for a good week before I can come out and do it again lol
I think that everyone is like this at some point in their lives but people have to understand that everyone feels anxiety and overwhelming feelings. You and we have to just push on with those feelings of discomfort. I don't go out all that often, mainly because I have a good family at home and I would rather spend my time with them or most of it atleast but I did go out recently to meet some very good friends of mine and on the way to meet them my stomach, my innards sank like Xbox sales after Phil Spencer took charge but I still went and I enjoyed myself. I had the craic that night and it was a good time laughing drinking taking shots but I remember every moment of it and I enjoyed myself. FYI craic is just Irish slang and it is not the drug. I do not take drugs, I don't smoke, and I very rarely drink which is funny because alcoholism runs in one side of my family and about half for each side put together smokes.
one of the most comforting videos ive come across as of late, this perfectly describes so many feelings of anxiety and monotony its insane absolutely lovely, i really needed this, thank you so much
I felt this many times over. I wish everyone the best and push for not making a bunch of friends, but for the few who'll get you, and the you Who'll get them, and everything happening in the middle. this little animation really portrayed your feelings well. really used the song as an instrument for the melody of your feelings. No clue what I said ^ but we got this people
I don't like to quote cuz it seems obnoxious to me when others do it, but this quote from Tarkovsky really comes to mind whenever the topic of loneliness gets brought up "I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean they should be lonely, but that they shouldn’t grow bored with themselves. Because people who grow bored in their own company seem to be in danger, from a self-esteem point of view."
I don't know if you will read this But I loved the video, I'm exactly like that... Today I'm having a bit of a bad day, and your encouragement helped make it a little better Thanks
gosh i know you wont see this, but i love your art style so so so much, the final shot of the animation is so well done and the atmosphere is unironically exactly what i look for when i think of something artistic that makes me feel emotional.
Heart wrenching. It's honestly relatable and beautiful at the same time. I try bringing myself out there yet it feels like no one likes me while I have so many friends. I shouldn't feel lonely but everything just seems so fake, I wish I wasn't lonely. I wish it could happen to me.
Wow, this made my day! "After Hours" has always been one of my very favorite songs, VU or otherwise, and it's amazing to see it so beautifully animated. Your sweetly melancholy illustrations and artstyle perfectly capture the vibe. Now do "I'm Sticking With You"! 😉😛🥰
Always nice to see people remember this song. One of my favourites of theirs. Helps that this accompanying animation is extremely charming and fitting as well.
I thank the algorithm for bringing me this video. And even more, I thank you for making it. This combination of song and animation perfectly expresses how I've felt the past year. It's sad but also comforting to see others in a similar boat. ❤
Idk, it’s weird. I like people and I want to make more friends to replace the ones who’ve drifted away from me (they’re still my friends but we don’t talk often) but I’ve learned the hard way that if you become dependent on anyone to make you happy they will use you. You need to be able to be happy alone before you can start forming deep connections because as lovely as people are, the only ones who truly make you feel like you’re not alone are just using your desperation to make you into a plaything. I’ve had a lot of people who say “I love you” one second and “I don’t respect you” the other and I’ve learned that if they say the second thing they’re lying about the first. They’re not worth your time. I’ve also learned that even if they say “I’m sorry” and try to be better, the way they see you doesn’t change. They’re just acting. Pretending to care so they can use you as much as you’ll let them, never truly having a change of heart. I don’t have any energy left to spend on such people who are useless. I need to be stronger than that. I’ve always been happy alone so it’s nice knowing I could leave everyone behind if I needed to because, as much as I hate to say it, I could easily see everyone in my life trying to control me, use me, or stab me in the back at some point or the other. I still love them but if it comes down to it I will leave them behind if they pathetically hide their abuse behind “I love you.” I don’t need anyone to make me feel whole anymore and it feels liberating.
For someone who has difficulty in expressing themselves and hard to tell what's to wrong (not that i have anyone to tell what's wrong), I must confess, I don't know who you are but you've captured exactly what I've been trying so hard to convey but never hit the mark. Thanks.
thank you for reminding me that im not alone struggling in this darkness sad not knowing why not knowing what's missing the void in my soul was filled for a second
I have been feeling out of it lately. I was always an inherently introverted person who always strived for the opposite, as a result in any close emotional bond I had with others, I romanticized it. I wanted to hold onto it no matter what, and usually that always ended badly for me, with close friend after close friend leaving me. With the worst case being my ex-girlfriend and my best friend, I hurt the two of them so badly and it hit me that I am the problem. Whilst I am going to therapy and trying to change, I feel like I simply can not or do not want to change. I purposefully self-sabotaged myself and hurt those closest to me for years now and now, I am isolating myself. Honestly, I hate it, any friendships I do have as of right now are not close at all, I don't go out and have fun anymore except on rare occasions and most of all, I feel alone. I feel like there is a wall I built for myself to isolate myself from others simply because I can not get close to them despite desperately wanting to. It's gotten so bad, I feel desensitized from the world as if I am just a ghost with a body. I wouldn't say I am depressed, as there are people who actually suffer from that and I do not want to self-diagnose myself with something so serious. But this hasn't been the happiest time of my life and such is life at times. In a way I think this is good for me but my therapist (such a sweet lady) disagrees, we are still discussing possible ways for me to improve and I do hope I can conquer my ego of not wanting to change and become a better person. Though the urge to not change is still there, I am scared of myself and of close relationships with others. Anyway, thanks for reading and listening to me vent. I hope you have a nice day.
wow... i found this video 2 days ago but left it on a tab and never really watched it until now, i must say you definitely will grow into a big channel, like you know how when you are feeling spicy, drinking too much water sometimes just make it worse, but if you give it time then when you are completely fine with the heat, you start to enjoy the taste instead. just like life, cant take the shortcut, you gotta take it slow, and surely you will achieve the dream. keep it up!!! and focus only on the qualities of your vids you'll grow in no time edits: i must say you got a talent on storytelling, you were lonely while making the vid and that feeling popped right into your art, your viewers are gonna feel the same way! honestly thats incredible
I've closed that door for an eternity, and it might as well stay that way. Thank you, a truly beautiful animation and song. Love it. 120/10. Couldn't have done it better.
I haven't met a friend face to face in 20 years, and I was barely a teenager the last time. Kinda given up hope at this point. This video is a familiar feeling.
This song reminds me a lot of Simon and Garfunkle's "I Am A Rock", which tells me this isn't a new phenomenon for adults since like the pandemic or the invention of the internet, loneliness has always been an issue.
Okay but if feeling this lonely makes you sad and miserable, then you should probably stop isolating yourself or closing the door. Cuz most the time it’s not the world that’s isolating you it’s you isolating yourself from it because it’s not the way you want it to be.
I feel like I want it to happen to me but most of the time I don’t even wanna talk to people, I do but I can’t help it I just stay in my room all day and stay as a outcast to society
cool animation, bro, i thought about that someone will make some animation clip with it, and here we are - you are precisely put all spirit of song into all these frames, its better than original videoclip
This definitely captures how ive been feeling last week perfectly. I had the worst stomachache for 2 days straight and it was really painful. Now that i think about it, i dont think this song actually captures the feeling. I would say "The ghost song" that plays in the game "It moves" captures the feeling more.
this is genuinely the most pleasing animation to watch ive ever seen. the colours, composition and artstyle look so fucking good its insane i really do hope that things better for you, you are VERY talented!
You're pretty lucky you got this recommended to a lot of people out of nowhere. Also, may you recommend some musicians that make music in this similar style? It's really good. Oh and yeah the art is really cool!

True. At some point you're just actively avoiding it and isolating yourself. Once you close those doors its quite hard to open them up again..

Ok but I like how the use of a mime protagonist creates a metaphor of social problems being like being stuck in an invisible box.

It looks absolutly gogreous. I love it ❤
This is adorable and I love it. Glad to find another smaller creator to love on. This is beautiful and saddening

I still couldn’t believe this song is 55 years old. This is truly ahead of its time, like the 2010s would dig this up.
Right? it feels like a modern indie song. crazy ahead of its time

This goes right into my “favorites” playlist. I love your art style - it’s simplicity and nice colors and character design make it cute and sad at the same time which perfectly fits the song
At first i wanted to say womp womp (i was feeling edgy), however, it was a vibe. liked
i just learned it was made by velvet underground, really timeless and eternally relevant song
holy shit why does your art taste like chocolate pudding
(I love these synesthetic comments. such vibe)
Oh, to be loved...
ahh..i relate to these lyrics a whole whole lot. this animation was beautiful :)
Your animation and style is so cool! Keep going!
Poor gal... did she have no one show up at her bday party? thats so depressing somebody give her a big present 😭
That enhanced "hello" really stands out, you know. Like a wake up call, it cuts you, if only for a moment. Speaking as a certified door closer here.
Can’t relate. Whenever I get lonely I just visit the liquor store.
Can't relate. Whenever I get lonely I just sleep.
@@Stardust_Fox this is the plot to Omori (real)
Same. At this point, they know my booze choice and what brand of cigarettes I smoke
Nah bro now your wallet lonely too

Finally, youtube recommends me something that ISN'T fandom drama! Great work, this cuts directly into my spinal chord and into my heart.
This song sounds like it could've been made in 2010s or even 2020s. The fact that it's actually from the time when my grandparents were still teenagers is so bizzare
Glad and sad to see that loneliness is not a generational problem.
idk what this is really about. But to me it resonates with my fear of relationships, I spent like a year or more closing the door to everyone that got close, often self-destructing the few relationships I did have because I was so comfortable being lonely. It took a while for me to realize the kind of jail I had entrapped myself in and I never figured out what exactly made me this way but I think it might been that I felt abandoned by everyone I met and liked after the year 2020, everyone just stopped talking to me, even online friends.
@@SlurSlander I made this video with a specific message in mind, but it's always fascinating to see other people pull their own views from it
I haven't been able to get this out of my head since I saw it. The song is really haunting in its accuracy. Seeing all the human connection you're missing out on can make it tempting to "close the door", IE to shut out reality and cocoon yourself in coping mechanisms, hoping that eventually you will adjust to permanent night and become blissfully ignorant of what you're missing. The animation goes well with it, particularly the idea of a mime - surrounded by people but unable to speak, separated from them by an invisible box.
I hope things get better for all of us.
The Velvet Underground were really ahead to their time to the point that this song could be some recent indie release.
it's amazing that TVU made a song that would only fit in over 50 years in the future
this song is so comforting and i love your lineless art :0
how the hell is a song about keeping to yourself and avoiding social interaction comforting ????
@@johncruelty1Knowing that others feel the same way is pretty comforting
@@johncruelty1 idk, i just feel alone and like im confused if im the only person who feels that way, cause others make social interaction look so easy :(
I wish it could happen to me too. Seeing a bunch of people have fun while having no good friends by your side makes the feeling of loneliness so much stronger. I wish everyone had friends they can count on and have fun with
Same I can’t make good friends it sucks
Goddamnit not another channel being criminally ignored by the algorithm this is too underrated and amazing
Its poppin in feeds, numbers will go BRRR soon :3
WAAAGH your artstyle is so pretty 🥹🥹
i love how you composed this storyboard!! it's so lovely!! i can't wait for what's in your works bc this is so good!!
you're an inspiration because this style is definitely my cup of tea 😭
You say..... waaaaagh?...
ORKS IZ MADE FAR A FIGHT AN' WINNIN'
¡WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

I'm an introvert, but I'm really good at socializing. Many people have this odd assumption that being good at socializing means that you're an extrovert, and if you're an introvert, you're automatically shy. But, shyness is fear of others, introversion is merely getting socially exhausted after a while. I am a great conversationalist, and I can be very animated and be the center of the party, but after that, I need to basically vegetate in my bed for a good week before I can come out and do it again lol
Quoting MGMT "I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away"
LINELESS CHARACTER STYLES ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. Thank you for this amazing video 🫶
great animation! super underated
the art style is so cute but it also makes me sad (in a good way!!!)
hs!
I think that everyone is like this at some point in their lives but people have to understand that everyone feels anxiety and overwhelming feelings.
You and we have to just push on with those feelings of discomfort.
I don't go out all that often, mainly because I have a good family at home and I would rather spend my time with them or most of it atleast but I did go out recently to meet some very good friends of mine and on the way to meet them my stomach, my innards sank like Xbox sales after Phil Spencer took charge but I still went and I enjoyed myself.
I had the craic that night and it was a good time laughing drinking taking shots but I remember every moment of it and I enjoyed myself.
FYI craic is just Irish slang and it is not the drug. I do not take drugs, I don't smoke, and I very rarely drink which is funny because alcoholism runs in one side of my family and about half for each side put together smokes.
You’re AMAZING, this is amazing, I’m in love
This is so good. It needs more views.
one of the most comforting videos ive come across as of late, this perfectly describes so many feelings of anxiety and monotony its insane
absolutely lovely, i really needed this, thank you so much
I felt this many times over. I wish everyone the best and push for not making a bunch of friends, but for the few who'll get you, and the you Who'll get them, and everything happening in the middle.
this little animation really portrayed your feelings well. really used the song as an instrument for the melody of your feelings.
No clue what I said ^ but we got this people
I don't like to quote cuz it seems obnoxious to me when others do it, but this quote from Tarkovsky really comes to mind whenever the topic of loneliness gets brought up
"I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean they should be lonely, but that they shouldn’t grow bored with themselves. Because people who grow bored in their own company seem to be in danger, from a self-esteem point of view."
oh
this quote is one of the main reasons stalker is remembered as a video game and not the movie he made
@@oongloose-moogloose-rl3dm Did you like your own comment? And explain what you mean because I didn't mention Stalker at all

As an introvert I'm happier closing the door...
When you simply start living and stop seeking you will find it
I don't know if you will read this
But I loved the video, I'm exactly like that...
Today I'm having a bit of a bad day, and your encouragement helped make it a little better
Thanks
we can all be dreemurrs
gosh i know you wont see this, but i love your art style so so so much, the final shot of the animation is so well done and the atmosphere is unironically exactly what i look for when i think of something artistic that makes me feel emotional.
@@wystren4952 thank you :) I try to read every comment, but I've slowed down lately because some have been rather scathing or accusatory
Heart wrenching. It's honestly relatable and beautiful at the same time. I try bringing myself out there yet it feels like no one likes me while I have so many friends. I shouldn't feel lonely but everything just seems so fake, I wish I wasn't lonely. I wish it could happen to me.
would it be okay if i used this character as a pfp if i credit you? if not that's okay
Go ahead :) (I like ur Aubrey pfp too)
thank you! (omori is amazing)
Wow, this made my day! "After Hours" has always been one of my very favorite songs, VU or otherwise, and it's amazing to see it so beautifully animated. Your sweetly melancholy illustrations and artstyle perfectly capture the vibe. Now do "I'm Sticking With You"! 😉😛🥰
The sad thing is that the saying “it’ll happen eventually” is only partly true…
Always nice to see people remember this song. One of my favourites of theirs. Helps that this accompanying animation is extremely charming and fitting as well.
I thank the algorithm for bringing me this video. And even more, I thank you for making it. This combination of song and animation perfectly expresses how I've felt the past year. It's sad but also comforting to see others in a similar boat. ❤

RECONSTRUCT WHAT??!!
Яка мила пісня і чудова анімація, наче маленьке кіно подивився ❤️
Idk, it’s weird. I like people and I want to make more friends to replace the ones who’ve drifted away from me (they’re still my friends but we don’t talk often) but I’ve learned the hard way that if you become dependent on anyone to make you happy they will use you. You need to be able to be happy alone before you can start forming deep connections because as lovely as people are, the only ones who truly make you feel like you’re not alone are just using your desperation to make you into a plaything. I’ve had a lot of people who say “I love you” one second and “I don’t respect you” the other and I’ve learned that if they say the second thing they’re lying about the first. They’re not worth your time. I’ve also learned that even if they say “I’m sorry” and try to be better, the way they see you doesn’t change. They’re just acting. Pretending to care so they can use you as much as you’ll let them, never truly having a change of heart. I don’t have any energy left to spend on such people who are useless. I need to be stronger than that. I’ve always been happy alone so it’s nice knowing I could leave everyone behind if I needed to because, as much as I hate to say it, I could easily see everyone in my life trying to control me, use me, or stab me in the back at some point or the other. I still love them but if it comes down to it I will leave them behind if they pathetically hide their abuse behind “I love you.” I don’t need anyone to make me feel whole anymore and it feels liberating.
Beautifully said.
For someone who has difficulty in expressing themselves and hard to tell what's to wrong (not that i have anyone to tell what's wrong), I must confess, I don't know who you are but you've captured exactly what I've been trying so hard to convey but never hit the mark. Thanks.
thank you for reminding me that im not alone struggling in this darkness sad not knowing why not knowing what's missing the void in my soul was filled for a second
God bless you all and your families.
2 Corinthias 5:17.
Romans 10:8-13.
found this video at a very relatable time. the kinda video that really hits when you know EXACTLY the feeling it's portraying
She reminds me of Coco from Subway Surfers. :? I don't normally see cute mime girls. :p
This video is so relatable! You want love and connection, but you're too scared or too deprived to come into the light. It's deeply touching.
I have been feeling out of it lately. I was always an inherently introverted person who always strived for the opposite, as a result in any close emotional bond I had with others, I romanticized it. I wanted to hold onto it no matter what, and usually that always ended badly for me, with close friend after close friend leaving me. With the worst case being my ex-girlfriend and my best friend, I hurt the two of them so badly and it hit me that I am the problem. Whilst I am going to therapy and trying to change, I feel like I simply can not or do not want to change. I purposefully self-sabotaged myself and hurt those closest to me for years now and now, I am isolating myself. Honestly, I hate it, any friendships I do have as of right now are not close at all, I don't go out and have fun anymore except on rare occasions and most of all, I feel alone. I feel like there is a wall I built for myself to isolate myself from others simply because I can not get close to them despite desperately wanting to. It's gotten so bad, I feel desensitized from the world as if I am just a ghost with a body. I wouldn't say I am depressed, as there are people who actually suffer from that and I do not want to self-diagnose myself with something so serious. But this hasn't been the happiest time of my life and such is life at times. In a way I think this is good for me but my therapist (such a sweet lady) disagrees, we are still discussing possible ways for me to improve and I do hope I can conquer my ego of not wanting to change and become a better person. Though the urge to not change is still there, I am scared of myself and of close relationships with others.
Anyway, thanks for reading and listening to me vent. I hope you have a nice day.
wow... i found this video 2 days ago but left it on a tab and never really watched it until now, i must say you definitely will grow into a big channel, like you know how when you are feeling spicy, drinking too much water sometimes just make it worse, but if you give it time then when you are completely fine with the heat, you start to enjoy the taste instead. just like life, cant take the shortcut, you gotta take it slow, and surely you will achieve the dream. keep it up!!! and focus only on the qualities of your vids you'll grow in no time
edits: i must say you got a talent on storytelling, you were lonely while making the vid and that feeling popped right into your art, your viewers are gonna feel the same way! honestly thats incredible
woah thats a really nice analogy
If I didn't close the door ableists would get me again
I've closed that door for an eternity, and it might as well stay that way. Thank you, a truly beautiful animation and song. Love it. 120/10. Couldn't have done it better.
i like the song and the art style
keep up the good work!!
I love this song so much, what a beautiful video to go with it
I haven't met a friend face to face in 20 years, and I was barely a teenager the last time. Kinda given up hope at this point.
This video is a familiar feeling.
The colours are so incredible,, I love this sm
This song reminds me a lot of Simon and Garfunkle's "I Am A Rock", which tells me this isn't a new phenomenon for adults since like the pandemic or the invention of the internet, loneliness has always been an issue.
i used to listen to this song on repeat for hours, this is such a beautiful animation for it and i love the character designs :D
I can say I know the feeling buddy and it feel's awful...
this -is literally the plot of omori- such a haunting rendition. Love the character design. Very nice us of textures.
Yep, just wanna live, dont wanna die, just want to stop surviving and learn to thrive.
i really like your art style!! and the music plus the art give me a really warm yet sad feeling, i love it
if someone loves u even when you're wearing ur mime outfit (metaphorically speaking) then they're someone worth investing in (ps i hope ur doing okay
"i love you"
her: "..."
Okay but if feeling this lonely makes you sad and miserable, then you should probably stop isolating yourself or closing the door. Cuz most the time it’s not the world that’s isolating you it’s you isolating yourself from it because it’s not the way you want it to be.
POV: You are watching a video
Reading through these comments while im alone feels so relaxing, like a nice quiet stroll in the park after a stressful day.
The music,art style and the message are just perfect, continue with the great work!
Gotta love how people are so afraid of the very concept of being aro/ace that they’re just going nuts in the comments
You're a pretty good singer for a little boy
I feel like I want it to happen to me but most of the time I don’t even wanna talk to people, I do but I can’t help it I just stay in my room all day and stay as a outcast to society
UA-cam recommendations have been cooking recently nice😊🥰👍💯💕💞💖
cool animation, bro, i thought about that someone will make some animation clip with it, and here we are - you are precisely put all spirit of song into all these frames, its better than original videoclip
I love mimes and velvet underground this is great
This is relatable to me.
Great animation!
I love this ❤ My favorite Velvet Underground song. It captures my loneliness perfectly
This definitely captures how ive been feeling last week perfectly.
I had the worst stomachache for 2 days straight and it was really painful. Now that i think about it, i dont think this song actually captures the feeling. I would say "The ghost song" that plays in the game "It moves" captures the feeling more.
this is genuinely the most pleasing animation to watch ive ever seen. the colours, composition and artstyle look so fucking good its insane
i really do hope that things better for you, you are VERY talented!
You're pretty lucky you got this recommended to a lot of people out of nowhere.
Also, may you recommend some musicians that make music in this similar style? It's really good.
Oh and yeah the art is really cool!
All the gentle souls vibing with this song gonna search up the artist and get a panic attack from "Sister Ray".
