I would say those who have not experienced loneliness will find it difficult to relate to that negative emotions. Being alone can be enjoyable at times but those who struggle with loneliness lie on the other spectrum and struggle to make others understand how and why they feel this way.
I rarely feel lonely. I still catch up with ex-colleagues, classmates, customers, friends, families, etc. When I pass by a specific place, maybe an ex-colleague or friend rings a bell, I will just give them a WhatsApp to see whether they are free for a coffee, etc. If I have no one to entertain me, I will visit temples do some chanting, go to the library to read a book, or catch a movie .
I think this experiment needs context. Some people absolutely love being alone. If we try to simplify things. It's an introvert vs extrovert thing. The producer is prolly more extrovert in nature. She could have exercised in her small space to boost the endorphins. I point to another example which is not too far away from us: Japan. More and more people are reclusive there. Alot of them are used to small cramped spaces, and by extension being alone. Overall if you're able to occupy yourself and keep your brain working, you can still live a relatively long life. Quality is subjective. Introverts will class independence and solitude as quality.
agreed! i am more at peace alone than with other people. and the "lonely brain makes you dumber" statement in 6:53 is also questionable. if one keep one's brain occupied with reading stuff, learning stuff, it actually have the exact opposite. i've met literally more than a dozen "lonely people" who are significantly smarter than the extroverts because they use their time to learn stuff. whether it's science, language, or simple practical skills like fixing their electronics, fixing their bikes, cooking, baking, etc. in this digital age you really can learn anything easily. imho it's not 100% about loneliness. it's about laziness. some folks (particularly extreme extroverts) tend to laze around excessively when they left alone... and when they band together, nothing is done and nothing is learned. soo ... yeah... the statement is truly questionable
Even Introverts doesn't like loneliness, what they are looking for is few meaningful and vulnerable connections. They can't handle multiple people at a single time. That's the difference. But the society has labelled them introverts and not treating them well.
That's silly, the girl acts as If she's never been alone a day in her life omg... That wasn't serious content at all. We do adapt for even longer periods.
I think a lot of introverts out there share the same concept that we get drained from socializing and meeting people at a party or some sort of group events. I personally prefer quality over quantity, so I never liked large events where there are a lot of people. Instead, I prefer just 1 on 1 quality time and conversation. Or, I don't mind hanging out with 2-3 close friends that we're all cool with each other. But anything more than that, it's going to be a hard pass for me. You have to ask yourself how many friends do you have in your life that you can trust your life on. If you were to have a kid, can you trust your kid to that friend to look after your kid if something were to happen to you? If you were to hit rock bottom, how many friends do you have in your life that will help you get back on your feet? Most people will say they're your friends, but when it comes to push and shove, they're not going to go out of their way to be there for you. That's just the reality of life. And that's why I advocate for few homies you can trust for a life time vs. "friends."
The loneliness epidemic is a direct product of alienation under capitalism. "Karl Marx's theory of alienation describes the estrangement (German: Entfremdung) of people from aspects of their human nature (Gattungswesen, 'species-essence') as a consequence of the division of labour and living in a society of stratified social classes. The theoretical basis of alienation is that a worker invariably loses the ability to determine life and destiny when deprived of the right to think (conceive) of themselves as the director of their own actions; to determine the character of these actions; to define relationships with other people; and to own those items of value from goods and services, produced by their own labour." But since Singaporeans have been propagandized to defend capitalism at all costs, I'm sure they'd reject Marx's theory. Keep chasing those ephemeral fixes to loneliness that capitalism offers.
EVERYBODY will feel lonely at some point of their lives. Loneliness DOES NOT care how old you are, whether you are young or old. Its very easy for a person to say " I am your friend" but its VERY DIFFICULT for that person to REALLY be "I am your friend"
Don't bottle up your emotions. Find someone that you feel safe to share it with, perhaps your wife? If not, you could always pay for a therapist to confide in.
I am happy being an introvert.. being alone in solitude is awesome.
48 hours ok mah been doing it for decades LOL
Are you ok😭😭😭

Being alone and loneliness are different thing. You can be surrounded by many people but feel lonely. But you can be alone and feel good
@@tty8526 Yes exactly

I do feel this kind of loneliness. It's reallu unbearable. ☹😟
Loneliness is only for extroverts 😅 being alone is when we feel relaxed
Wasn't quarantine like 14 days?
being alone is so fun
it is addictive. once you are addicted, hard to escape from it badly.

I enjoy being alone , thou I have family I do get my alone me time once in a while it’s good for self reflection or just being lazy
I also feel lonely though I have a family.. but I am a man and thus no one really cares. Society only concern about women.
That’s true. Have friends
