For those are feeling lonely, someone is out there to love you and care about you. Most importantly, we have this amazing Psych2goers community. We made a video on how to deal with loneliness. WATCH: ua-cam.com/video/TWNL7EClClo/v-deo.html
@@lonewolfwarrior93 There's always someone out there mate, go outside and find them 😁 I'm lonely too (only romantically though), but I'll never stop looking.
I am often alone but I personally feel the most lonely when there are a bunch of people around me who are hanging out with their friends. At that moment I start to ask myself: do I even have any close friends myself?
I guess I'm lonelier than I thought lol. Definitely the oversharing, to the point where I feel like if I talk too much it drives the person away, and it hurts when I get no response back.
This got me in trouble. But I still find myself doing it. I catch myself after a convo, "they didn't need to know that", "that's not any of their business". 😮💨
@@wanderingthoughts16 If a friend offers their help, then yeah I'll take it cuz that negates the "not wanting to burden them" cuz they are offering. But reaching out to others who haven't offered is completely different. You could be burdening them and that's what makes it so hard to actually do it.
@@TheUnknownGam3r i understand it's difficult. What i wanted to say here is: sometimes it's okay to take up that space in someone else life, if that actually helps you come out of something like loneliness. I mean, the people who haven't offered help may not have even realised you need help. But they may be willing to help when asked for help. 🤗
Loneliness can be a really painful experience. I've come to accept that I may never find anyone to properly connect with, and that doesn't help when you have terrible social anxiety. May be weird, but recently I had a dream one night and woke up sobbing, because even when sleeping am I still reminded of how lonely I am. That dream was a literal reflection of my life. I thought dreams weren't suppose to hit you that deep 😅 But in all seriousness, I'm trying my best to cope with my current situation. Not fun being faced with that lonely reminder every day, but who knows, maybe this'll be the first few steps to bettering myself. Thank you nonetheless for this video ♥
Dude I have the same dilemma with my dreams! In every dream I either have close friends or a girlfriend of some sort, but every time I wake up I grow upset. Just knowing that I was dreaming about being cool and likable was awesome and I never want it to end but it must. What's amazing is that sometimes I have different dreams featuring the same characters from previous dreams, but I've never met those people in real life.
I love how anime characters were shown in the video! I totally didn't expect that! The words 'loneliness is not about having any friends, it's about not having a close friend' hit really hard. I have a circle of friends but often, I find myself thinking 'do I even belong here?' or 'do I just choose to stay because if I don't I'd have nowhere else to go?' These are just some questions though that often pop up in my mind. There's this one girl, though. She's what I could call my best friend and yet, are we really best friends if I could not even bring myself to open up? I mean, isn't that what best friends do? Hahahaha... I think that it'd just be nice to have that someone who you can text at 3 am about useless stuff, or ask to a casual hangout or watch movies or something. Truly, it'd be so nice...
I can so relate to you. And I'm already grateful for my guy best friend he is the one i can totally talk anything and it's important to have a close friend. Yet still i feel lonliness sometimes maybe I can't share how i feel about him.

Lonliness is something that I've been struggling with for such a long time. There are many mental health issues that I've had within the past year, and this channel has helped me in many unbelievable ways. Watching your videos has made me realize that I had problems that I didn't even know existed. Life has been so difficult for me for the past year, but there are many people dedicated to promoting good mental health, and I'm forever thankful for this channel. Thank you Psych2Go and everyone working behind the scenes. Mental health has been declining, and your works have made the world a better place. I could list plenty of ways in which this channel has improved my life. Anyways, tysm
Same. I have no close friends and I took some hard rejections recently. I had a potential date ghost me out of the blue. I tried moving on to someone else, but... every girl here in Georgia is taken I guess. I see so many girls with dates, already. All of my friends are getting easy dates, too. I'm a born reject I guess.
Ooof. The one about oversharing hit really close to home. I definitely notice I can't stop myself from just spilling everything, and then later I feel anxious and embarrassed about it. I also really want to hang out with friends, but don't really have anyone to turn to 😢
I needed this. Thank you. I grew up with "strict" parents who never let me go anywhere with friends or anyone besides them. And if you can't tell,having only two people to talk to for your WHOLE childhood and the beginning of adulthood,isn't nice. I always felt envy in the people around me,always talking about how they had a sleepover with all of the girls,or even just talking about how the cafeteria food was. I was always the kid who nobody would talk to and had rumors spread all across the school about them,never good. I eventually went to online,because I could have a new chance and try again. Being someone who never talked to anyone and never devolved a personality I was very trusting,so of course someone took advantage of that,many did. I was manipulated into thinking that I couldn't trust myself anymore,and I was only like 12 when this was going on. This went on for 6 years. After I left I was an adult with my own money. So the first thing I ever bought was 20 trips to therapy. I felt better and left for a new state. Currently I am in college and building up the courage to go talk to someone in person at school for almost the first time.
I feel you so much mate, my parents are so toxic I always struggled to cope with everything. Now that I finally live with my partner, I have to discover and deal with all the bad things they did to me, and they're so many. Unfortunately the lack of friends hurts. It will help a lot having some.
OMG it’s like you and I lived the same childhood! But good thing is you left. I felt obligated to stay home even through college and would commute to the nearest college everyday. I never had the courage to stand up to my parents and move out. They were so controlling. I finally did leave at 26 But here I am miserable, with depression and in therapy.
@@yani_95 Oh,I didn't stand up to them. I packed my stuff while they were asleep,and left. Sneaking around in the middle of the night when I was younger was common,because I couldn't even open the fridge around them. Then they installed cameras that alerted them when it saw anything move past 6 pm. Hope you get better!!
For those of you who check some of these boxes like I have in the last year I highly recommend reading "Seek You. A Journey Through American Loneliness." It's an incredible novel and even if you aren't from the US, the struggles outlined in the book really put things into perspective and helped me to open up more and connect with people on a deeper level. My takeaway that helped to overcome that sinking pattern of loneliness was that being alone and being lonely aren't always mutually exclusive. There are people in groups, in relationships even who either aren't fully heard or who others fail to understand. Seeking out parts of yourself you wish to show and allowing others to see them is liberating. To an extension it does two things: It allows us to tailor things to become more attractive to ourselves and it allows us to differentiate what is helpful or harmful, creating strong boundaries. To those of you out there who are alone stay on the path. Perhaps one day we'll meet in a strange land. When we do I'll be the first to ask you about your journey.
This video is very relatable. I already knew I was lonely but this just completely confirms it all. A lot of drama has been going on recently to the point where I actually want to be alone. I'm not friends with a person anymore just because I comforted someone they were pressuring, or in other words, drama. The girl I became friends with just started having drama. And the two people I was friends with for the longest just aren't talking to me or each other (I think) anymore. I never get to talk to my online friends because timing is always wrong. Not to mention, all my friends are online and I'm no longer the social type. I've been secretly going through things mentally and I couldn't think of anyone to talk to about it. According to my mom, I take long showers. And I most certainly overshare to have wrote all this about being lonely. In the end, this video just confirmed something I already knew.
Hey it’s fine we can be friends😊 On a serious note though start trying to make new friends or new bonds in hopes of liking their company and do take care of ur personal self especially don’t hate urself over not having many friends.
Wow this was so deep!! I’m definitely very lonely and I think a lot of people are! It makes me so sad😩 all these new ways to connect and millions of people still feel so alone. I wish we could all be kinder to each other bc life is hard enough
Needed this. I am feeling so lonely in my life. I am not perfect, but I feel like I am there for others, but who is really there for me. At the end of the day it's just me. I am working on myself and hope to meet better friends and have a real relationship with someone and fall in love. I get so jealous and upset, cause I see people who I think don't deserve these friends or bfs, but I am just lonely and that's probably why I feel that way.
I can relate to the 1st to 4th points mentioned in this video. I've been struggling for 10 years with this loneliness. Having no friends throughout middle school & high school and college. Really is a tough journey and isn't easy. I dealt with rejection from acquaintances trying to fit in the right groups throughout life and continuously keep being rejected till this day. I though however feel grievance in my heart for those people but I forgive them. But I still look on the bright side despite whatever happens no matter what you're going through you aren't alone ❤ I was in a relationship and was engaged ready to get married this summer and dealt with a break up recently. Whoever the person reading this know that you're strong and the trials that you came through made you even more stronger. You are loved❤ Continue fighting and don't give up❤
I could relate to all 6 points. I felt sad and happy at the same time. Everything you said defined the situation I'm going through nowadays. I'm still grateful to have things and activities I can enjoy. Psy2go has always been one of those support. Thank you so much for all those day by day video and support.
Yeah I’m mostly lonely all the time because of how I don’t have many online friends and real life friends but I know eventually I will get new friends soon and hopefully things turn around for me. But what I’ve been going thought mentally hasn’t been easy but I know after this video I will feel a lot better about myself moving forward and every single friend that I have rn I just love every single one of you because you guys are like family to me and I do appreciate that 😊
I could relate to this too. As covid has been dying out, people have been trying to live their real lives again, and then this decreases the amount of online friends that you have. I miss having really good friends in the online world, but everyone's been trying to transition back to where things used to be, and I've gotten lonlier ever since. The reason why I don't have real life friends is complicated, and it hurts when you haven't had physical affection for years. I feel optimistic about getting new friends too. I came from having little to no irl friends, into finding many online communities; this made me realize that there's opportunities to make friends in ways in which you would never expect. I'm so so thankful for the people who are there for me atm. Good luck to you and for everyone else struggling with this. Also, thank you to Psych2Go
I am completely the same as you don't worry bro things will get better, just as you wrote. take your time to heal up if no one has told you today i love you, and i'm proud of you! even tough we might never met i wish you have a great life
i love how u put different anime characters from series or games who relate to these stuff like xiao, lumine. zongili, paimon and albedo from genshin. it just make ur vid a whole lot more fun and soothing as we get to know even our fav characters have daily life problems

This video had me in tears. It’s 5:30am (fed my cat at 5; can’t get back to sleep). I recently moved into my own apartment. I’m an INFJ, thinking, “I’ll be fine”. Um, turns out it’s not that simple. I’m going to watch your video on how to handle loneliness now.
This was a really good video. It's not easy being lonely, but I'm sure you will find someone that has the same interests that you also have eventually.
I assess that I’m definitely not lonely after watching this video. I’d rather be alone than with either miserable people or shallow people. By shallow I mean those who get thrills from things like Instagram or TikTok. I want deep connections, something that’s hard to come by.
I thinkI relate to every one of these signs. I am board every day of my life which means all I do with my free time is watch mindless UA-cam videos. I do get a little jealous when I hear other people that I know are making plans to do fun things that don’t really include me. I take FOREVER in the shower bc it feels too nice and I don’t get out of it for a while. There are sometimes when my friend can’t really text me so I can’t really turn to anyone when I’m having a bad day so I go to imaginary friends. I do tend to rant a lot about a topic when someone is willing to listen to what I have to say. And last but not least, I’ve had a sudden obsession with fluffy throw pillow’s and blankets and any time I’m able to buy one, I will 100% buy it. Thank you so much for helping me realize what these things mean and how to help with them 💖
1. Bored (Yeahh..) 2. Jealous of others having fun (Oh every day of my life.) 3. Taking long showers (Oh, that's not normal?) 4. No one to turn to (Ah, I do but I stop myself. I don't want to be a bunmer..) 5. Oversharing (Yep absolutely) 6. Buying things and hoarding (Oh crap, I've been doing that a ton lately since I have some money again..)
1. Your often bored. 2. Your jealous of others having fun 3. You take long showers or baths 4. You have no one to turn to 5. Oversharing when others are willing to listen 6. You keep buying and boarding stuff
I've felt really lonely over this past summer with all my friends working their jobs and me getting dumped. I don't have many close relationships with anyone rn but that just pushed me to strengthen the one with myself and sorta try to be my own best friend. If you feel lonely and can't reach out to anyone, reach out to yourself! Get to know yourself better do things that you love! It's not selfish if you want the best for yourself.
I love that characters from Genshin Impact and Jujutsu Kaisen are presented in this video :D And thank you for this "episode"; I always thought I talk so much about myself only because of my past, but now I found out the second, less complex reason which is my loneliness
Thank you so much for this video. Loneliness is something so many people are struggling with "thanks" to Covid. So we definitely have to translate this video, too! We wish you all an amazing day!
Yikes, looks like this one really got me. I do have plenty of people I consider friends but maybe one or two that I would confide the things I think about with on that special level. And they live far away so I cant really hang out with them in person. Can always try strengthening the bonds with those who are just a short drive away though.
I believe that many of us will see ourselves in this video, but it doesn't always really help to end the loneliness. There are many great ideas, but has anyone thought of the people who can't drive to see friends. You might have medical issues that keep you inside for too many hours of the day. Then you try meeting people online, say a pen pal...then you find out they are scams, people looking to for money. I can honestly say that yes I am lonely, but I'm not going to get used or taken advantage of. No one should have this happen but it does and that made you feel more alone then before. I don't mind making new friends, but I tend to guard my heart, like many people in the world. I wish that this video could bring us all together, and share problems or just need some ones opinion. I wish us all the best in the world, and know that you are never alone when you have this channel.
As in introvert I need a lot of time alone, but I can't name a single person I could meet with and open up to if I had a serious problem, to tell them how I feel. There is some sort of disconnection towards everyone, even towards people I'm happy to be able to call my friends. Whenever I try to be more honest, it repels people, so I only open up to a certain degree.
Thank you so much for always coming up with issues that one come across on day to day basis. Also,thanks for telling some of the things which one can try out in loneliness.
DDLC: 1:18 It Actually Helped me, no matter what we’re going through our friendship and our lives are still there always, even when I’m alone but I’m not always alone from my friends and family. 🙏💗💙🇰🇭👍🏻🦔🇺🇸 and also helped me when most people were out here for me and all of us, that are trusted, and also knowing how we feel, about ourselves and our lives, and our things and I kinda felt anxious about “some” people misunderstanding me for what I am, and it hurts like really, but thank you for this video and we all had those times before I felt the same way when I’m lonely.

I can relate to ALL these points , I feel them all on the daily since I lost my Hubby who was my Best Friend , he was the only person who love me for me . I don't have any friends and I never really had a female Best Friend and I don't feel close to my brothers we have nothing in common.
I feel that I haven’t been social as of late. I feel bored most since there’s nothing to do or anyone to hang out. But when I do try to talk to people in person, they just leave me off the dust and don’t want anything to do with me.
I truely can’t explain how correct this video was it had me 100% down to the T I really enjoy your videos are so amazing I love watching them I know I shouldn’t assume some things and should ask actual people with degrees on some things but just getting a better grip on who I am or what’s going on is a lot of help truely I practically use your videos as my therapy 😅 thank you and plz keep making amazing content 😊
Im an extroverted ambivert. I am very vocal in classes and try to talk to people as much as i can but i am left out. And this loneliness has been a part of my life.
It's not easy to socialize with other people especially since i have a disability and I recently moved to a new house and my friends from school are now far away now and we can't hang out anymore it is lonely here and I do have some of the habits listed here but I keep trying my best to do better when socializing with other people and make small talk I just hope these suggestions will help keep up the good work on these videos they help alot.
I do feel lonely for a long time, speaking about 4 years or more. What makes it worst is that nobody seems to care nor trustable enough for me to share with. Being lonely has given me opportunity to observe the behaviour of people around me, which is kinda cool I guess. I really envy people who can express their thoughts and feelings openly with others. I wish I could have someone who would trully willing to listen to me. I once even thought that I'd be really happy if someone were get to know me better. It's so frustating, depressing, and I just feel like the only person who feel this way. I gradually developed trust issues and negative thoughts in my head. I'm so sorry for bragging in the comment. It's just that I thought you could understand me. Thank you for your time reading this ☺
It's really hard to find someone you can trust, nowadays... Sometimes you only want to have someone who can sit with you & listen to every word your heart says...
It's funny how I've known I've been lonely for roughly 16 years, as even when I was little I felt weird but didn't know why. I've kinda always been lonely, which is why I'm happy when I get to hang out and talk to my friends, because then they make me forget every once in a while how lonely I feel
Is it weird that because I don't have anyone to talk to I literally have conversations with myself. Pretending it's other ppl? I do it every single day. At work and at home
I feel like I've been lonely most of my life. A couple of years ago, I started sharing my feelings & problems with my friends and they really listened & genuinely tried to help me heal from my traumas but it was taking very long time to fully get out of my depression. I felt like I was dissapointing them and being a burden so I decided to keep my problems to myself & pretended to be fine by learning to 'fake smile'. I love them & we have a good friendship but sometimes I feel lonely in my battles.
I think I know why it’s so difficult for me to keep friendships. I call myself the ‘fleeting friend’ or ‘the giver’. I help them, message them the first few days a lot and try to make them adapt to new environments. Then… nothing. It happens a lot during high school. I helped new kids to adapt to our classroom (from Peru) and help them in classes and meet people who would love to be friends with. Then suddenly, like, I didn’t notice, one or two weeks later, I find myself not following their adventures. I feel left behind. Like I don’t belong there. So I just leave. Now that I’m at college, I noticed that I always try to give the people around me a lot to like me. I help them during exam and homeworks even when I don’t know them. I give them a hand in times when even I’m struggling, and sometimes they insist that I help them. I feel the need to give them something to keep them around. It has happened since I was a child. I think it came from there. The girls that I met at the park, I always wanted to be part of their group and play, they would reject me, then accept me. After some hours playing, I would ask my dad to invite them some chips or something (silly me thinking of being kind) and he would buy it. After they ate, they would leave saying that they had to go. I would leave to another place of the park, only to find them on the same spot minutes later. I was being used by the girls so they could get something to eat and drink. I don’t even know what is like to have true friends, like, I don’t know if I should call someone a friend or someone I know. I don’t know anymore. Do they talk everyday? What do they talk about? How do they make plans? What should I say? I. DON’T. KNOW.
This is the one video where I can say that I relate to every point… I knew I was lonely but actually basically confirming it hits different. I learned from my ex that the only thing for me that helps is affection, and god knows I have no one for that anymore. Maybe people are right, I should stop having feelings? Idk
I was suspecting I'm feeing a deep loneliness. I just had to cut connection with a friend because she had a bad infleunce on me. My twin and little brotther and dad also left on a vacation to Morroc, and I never had the best bond with my mom so we don't talk much. I don't find much comfort in texting with my friends because I don't like talking over a phone. I can't meet up with my friends because they're on vavaction or are to far away from me. Next year I'm also going to a new school and I'm afraid of making no friends or getting bullied. I don't feel like talkin to people because they make me nervous. I'm struggling with social anxiety so I do feel very lonely at times. But there is always hope! Thanks to this channel I was able to find the problems I'm dealing with and how to solve them! :)
I've been feeling isolated and lonely I've been feeling this way it seems like almost for eternity I've been feeling this way for the past 7 + years since 2016 because I know what it's like to be deeply lonely and heartbroken and have no one to count one or talk to or have things in common with thank you for making your videos it gives me a little bit of comfort and happiness since I don't have nobody in my life anymore your videos gives me a little bit happiness
Great video guys thanks for the video It made me feel a little less lonely , I have physical disability so for that reason it isn't easy to get out to meet people 😀
I can relate to nearly all of these points. I try to find friends, but it's hard to stick with most of them for a long time. It doesn't help that I live nearly 1 hour from where they live at the moment.
At 2:55 I saw the main five characters from the owl house. Amity, Luz, Gus, Hunter, and Willow. Edit: the entire number four has something to do with the owl house
Just some feedback, I think a good set of videos related to this could be tips on how to resolve feeling lonely, as it can be difficult to know how to reduce feeling alone. 💡Might be really helpful for people struggling to break free from loneliness. 🙂Also, liked the Sailor Moon reference at 0:50, very cute. ☺
Well this describes my current situation perfectly except for the last mentioned and this situation started recently, but I think that at some point we will all have to be truly alone and it only depends on one if we can bear it since as the same video says, it is not only having people around you, it is having someone to fully trust and that is difficult.
For those are feeling lonely, someone is out there to love you and care about you. Most importantly, we have this amazing Psych2goers community. We made a video on how to deal with loneliness. WATCH: ua-cam.com/video/TWNL7EClClo/v-deo.html
I want to believe that 😞
@@lonewolfwarrior93 There's always someone out there mate, go outside and find them 😁
I'm lonely too (only romantically though), but I'll never stop looking.
not everyone is as lucky as the other
Did you know i bath for 1 hour
Maybe people care about me but I'm no one's favourite person everyone has someone who like more it's not fair ...ITS NOT FLIPPIN FAIR !!!!!
Food For Thought: Sometimes, loneliness is not being alone, but that sad feeling that no one loves you and cares about you.
Once you start caring for yourself you will find people who cares for you ❤️
this hits hard 🥺😞
Yeah I feel lonely even when I'm in a room filled with people
I am often alone but I personally feel the most lonely when there are a bunch of people around me who are hanging out with their friends. At that moment I start to ask myself: do I even have any close friends myself?
Well thanks screw stage 4 cancer I’m on stage 4 depression

I guess I'm lonelier than I thought lol. Definitely the oversharing, to the point where I feel like if I talk too much it drives the person away, and it hurts when I get no response back.
I feel you on this one x
It's like i can already say goodbye before I've said hello lmao

I'm not secretly lonely, I know that I am... But I also don't want to burden others with my problems... They have their own to deal with...
Sometimes it's okay to take help when we need it. :) Often, people are willing to help others in spite of their own troubles.
@@wanderingthoughts16
If a friend offers their help, then yeah I'll take it cuz that negates the "not wanting to burden them" cuz they are offering. But reaching out to others who haven't offered is completely different. You could be burdening them and that's what makes it so hard to actually do it.
@@TheUnknownGam3r i understand it's difficult.

@@TheUnknownGam3r Watch their video on different types of trauma, it may help you
people can also feel a little relieved when they hear about other people’s struggles
Loneliness can be a really painful experience. I've come to accept that I may never find anyone to properly connect with, and that doesn't help when you have terrible social anxiety. May be weird, but recently I had a dream one night and woke up sobbing, because even when sleeping am I still reminded of how lonely I am. That dream was a literal reflection of my life. I thought dreams weren't suppose to hit you that deep 😅
But in all seriousness, I'm trying my best to cope with my current situation. Not fun being faced with that lonely reminder every day, but who knows, maybe this'll be the first few steps to bettering myself. Thank you nonetheless for this video ♥
Dude I have the same dilemma with my dreams! In every dream I either have close friends or a girlfriend of some sort, but every time I wake up I grow upset. Just knowing that I was dreaming about being cool and likable was awesome and I never want it to end but it must.
What's amazing is that sometimes I have different dreams featuring the same characters from previous dreams, but I've never met those people in real life.
I feel the same way man

I love how anime characters were shown in the video! I totally didn't expect that! The words 'loneliness is not about having any friends, it's about not having a close friend' hit really hard. I have a circle of friends but often, I find myself thinking 'do I even belong here?' or 'do I just choose to stay because if I don't I'd have nowhere else to go?' These are just some questions though that often pop up in my mind. There's this one girl, though. She's what I could call my best friend and yet, are we really best friends if I could not even bring myself to open up? I mean, isn't that what best friends do? Hahahaha... I think that it'd just be nice to have that someone who you can text at 3 am about useless stuff, or ask to a casual hangout or watch movies or something. Truly, it'd be so nice...
I can so relate to you. And I'm already grateful for my guy best friend he is the one i can totally talk anything and it's important to have a close friend. Yet still i feel lonliness sometimes maybe I can't share how i feel about him.
Those weren’t anime characters those were characters in a show called the owl house on Disney plus I definitely recommended watching that show :)
yep i saw genshin impact characters ddlc spongebob and in other videos theres other fandoms like demon slayer fnf and more

Lonliness is something that I've been struggling with for such a long time. There are many mental health issues that I've had within the past year, and this channel has helped me in many unbelievable ways. Watching your videos has made me realize that I had problems that I didn't even know existed. Life has been so difficult for me for the past year, but there are many people dedicated to promoting good mental health, and I'm forever thankful for this channel. Thank you Psych2Go and everyone working behind the scenes. Mental health has been declining, and your works have made the world a better place. I could list plenty of ways in which this channel has improved my life. Anyways, tysm
I have had plenty of stress especially this past year. I too like this channel and a friend got me into this.
Same..i just wish i could meet someone who share the same mental problems as me...
:/ me too
Same. I have no close friends and I took some hard rejections recently. I had a potential date ghost me out of the blue. I tried moving on to someone else, but... every girl here in Georgia is taken I guess. I see so many girls with dates, already. All of my friends are getting easy dates, too. I'm a born reject I guess.
@@DeRez19 i feel you bro
Ooof. The one about oversharing hit really close to home. I definitely notice I can't stop myself from just spilling everything, and then later I feel anxious and embarrassed about it. I also really want to hang out with friends, but don't really have anyone to turn to 😢
I needed this.
Thank you.
I grew up with "strict" parents who never let me go anywhere with friends or anyone besides them. And if you can't tell,having only two people to talk to for your WHOLE childhood and the beginning of adulthood,isn't nice. I always felt envy in the people around me,always talking about how they had a sleepover with all of the girls,or even just talking about how the cafeteria food was. I was always the kid who nobody would talk to and had rumors spread all across the school about them,never good. I eventually went to online,because I could have a new chance and try again. Being someone who never talked to anyone and never devolved a personality I was very trusting,so of course someone took advantage of that,many did. I was manipulated into thinking that I couldn't trust myself anymore,and I was only like 12 when this was going on. This went on for 6 years. After I left I was an adult with my own money. So the first thing I ever bought was 20 trips to therapy. I felt better and left for a new state. Currently I am in college and building up the courage to go talk to someone in person at school for almost the first time.
sorry about your experience. Feeling lonely and being alone sucks But I'm happy that your currently improving!
I feel you so much mate, my parents are so toxic I always struggled to cope with everything. Now that I finally live with my partner, I have to discover and deal with all the bad things they did to me, and they're so many. Unfortunately the lack of friends hurts. It will help a lot having some.
OMG it’s like you and I lived the same childhood! But good thing is you left. I felt obligated to stay home even through college and would commute to the nearest college everyday. I never had the courage to stand up to my parents and move out. They were so controlling. I finally did leave at 26 But here I am miserable, with depression and in therapy.
@@yani_95 Oh,I didn't stand up to them. I packed my stuff while they were asleep,and left. Sneaking around in the middle of the night when I was younger was common,because I couldn't even open the fridge around them. Then they installed cameras that alerted them when it saw anything move past 6 pm.
Hope you get better!!
Your story is very inspirational, thanks for sharing.
For those of you who check some of these boxes like I have in the last year I highly recommend reading "Seek You. A Journey Through American Loneliness." It's an incredible novel and even if you aren't from the US, the struggles outlined in the book really put things into perspective and helped me to open up more and connect with people on a deeper level.
My takeaway that helped to overcome that sinking pattern of loneliness was that being alone and being lonely aren't always mutually exclusive. There are people in groups, in relationships even who either aren't fully heard or who others fail to understand. Seeking out parts of yourself you wish to show and allowing others to see them is liberating. To an extension it does two things: It allows us to tailor things to become more attractive to ourselves and it allows us to differentiate what is helpful or harmful, creating strong boundaries.
To those of you out there who are alone stay on the path. Perhaps one day we'll meet in a strange land. When we do I'll be the first to ask you about your journey.
The last line made my heart 😭😭. Because no one asks me how am i. Thank you for showing interest
Thank you, sincerely, for this whole post. The book is being sent to my Kindle library right now :)
I recommend taking ludicrous amounts of LSD
This video is very relatable. I already knew I was lonely but this just completely confirms it all. A lot of drama has been going on recently to the point where I actually want to be alone. I'm not friends with a person anymore just because I comforted someone they were pressuring, or in other words, drama. The girl I became friends with just started having drama. And the two people I was friends with for the longest just aren't talking to me or each other (I think) anymore. I never get to talk to my online friends because timing is always wrong. Not to mention, all my friends are online and I'm no longer the social type. I've been secretly going through things mentally and I couldn't think of anyone to talk to about it. According to my mom, I take long showers. And I most certainly overshare to have wrote all this about being lonely. In the end, this video just confirmed something I already knew.
Hey it’s fine we can be friends😊
On a serious note though start trying to make new friends or new bonds in hopes of liking their company and do take care of ur personal self especially don’t hate urself over not having many friends.
Wow this was so deep!! I’m definitely very lonely and I think a lot of people are! It makes me so sad😩 all these new ways to connect and millions of people still feel so alone. I wish we could all be kinder to each other bc life is hard enough
Needed this. I am feeling so lonely in my life. I am not perfect, but I feel like I am there for others, but who is really there for me.
At the end of the day it's just me.
I am working on myself and hope to meet better friends and have a real relationship with someone and fall in love.
I get so jealous and upset, cause I see people who I think don't deserve these friends or bfs, but I am just lonely and that's probably why I feel that way.
Hiii ! Don't be upset; let's be friends. Feel free to chat with me whenever you wanna 😉
I love how you included very important information alongside the show references like The Owl House, it's amazing!
I relate a bit too much to every point…a bit worrying but I am lonely
Yea Me too.. a little..
I can relate to the 1st to 4th points mentioned in this video. I've been struggling for 10 years with this loneliness. Having no friends throughout middle school & high school and college. Really is a tough journey and isn't easy. I dealt with rejection from acquaintances trying to fit in the right groups throughout life and continuously keep being rejected till this day. I though however feel grievance in my heart for those people but I forgive them. But I still look on the bright side despite whatever happens no matter what you're going through you aren't alone ❤ I was in a relationship and was engaged ready to get married this summer and dealt with a break up recently. Whoever the person reading this know that you're strong and the trials that you came through made you even more stronger. You are loved❤ Continue fighting and don't give up❤
Thanks.. 🙏💗
Wanna hangout? Online I guess
@@bladeranger9277 Wait, who you’re talking too I’m confused sorry about that!
Sorry you deal with rejection. That's sucks. Hopefully you will find someone.
I could relate to all 6 points. I felt sad and happy at the same time.
Everything you said defined the situation I'm going through nowadays.
I'm still grateful to have things and activities I can enjoy.
Psy2go has always been one of those support.
Thank you so much for all those day by day video and support.
Yeah I’m mostly lonely all the time because of how I don’t have many online friends and real life friends but I know eventually I will get new friends soon and hopefully things turn around for me. But what I’ve been going thought mentally hasn’t been easy but I know after this video I will feel a lot better about myself moving forward and every single friend that I have rn I just love every single one of you because you guys are like family to me and I do appreciate that 😊
I still feel lonely at times but what Psy2Go said on some of them is why I feel lonely and I really miss my online friends 😭
I could relate to this too. As covid has been dying out, people have been trying to live their real lives again, and then this decreases the amount of online friends that you have. I miss having really good friends in the online world, but everyone's been trying to transition back to where things used to be, and I've gotten lonlier ever since. The reason why I don't have real life friends is complicated, and it hurts when you haven't had physical affection for years. I feel optimistic about getting new friends too. I came from having little to no irl friends, into finding many online communities; this made me realize that there's opportunities to make friends in ways in which you would never expect. I'm so so thankful for the people who are there for me atm. Good luck to you and for everyone else struggling with this. Also, thank you to Psych2Go
@@chiefaaron1421 Yeah thx man but I’m sure I will get my online friends back again
@Sunny Sharma aww, that’s nice
I am completely the same as you
don't worry bro things will get better, just as you wrote. take your time to heal up
if no one has told you today i love you, and i'm proud of you! even tough we might never met i wish you have a great life
i love how u put different anime characters from series or games who relate to these stuff like xiao, lumine. zongili, paimon and albedo from genshin. it just make ur vid a whole lot more fun and soothing as we get to know even our fav characters have daily life problems

This video had me in tears. It’s 5:30am (fed my cat at 5; can’t get back to sleep). I recently moved into my own apartment. I’m an INFJ, thinking, “I’ll be fine”. Um, turns out it’s not that simple. I’m going to watch your video on how to handle loneliness now.
I hope you find others who care and you connect with
I love these references so much!! and that guy in the hot springs is such a mood
He and the long hair girl are cute
This was a really good video. It's not easy being lonely, but I'm sure you will find someone that has the same interests that you also have eventually.
I’ve been feeling this a lot recently, thank you
I assess that I’m definitely not lonely after watching this video. I’d rather be alone than with either miserable people or shallow people. By shallow I mean those who get thrills from things like Instagram or TikTok. I want deep connections, something that’s hard to come by.
Some people just like social media! Doesn't MAKE them shallow, other traits define that.
Yes!
It seems nearly impossible to find.
There was a nice mix of art styles in this one
I feel like this videos always pop up when I feel like this… Thank you, you are a humble, kind and helpful Creator
Some points describe me very well. I love the drawings and animations. Keep going.
Thank you so much 😀 Would you like to see more of this animation?
I thinkI relate to every one of these signs. I am board every day of my life which means all I do with my free time is watch mindless UA-cam videos. I do get a little jealous when I hear other people that I know are making plans to do fun things that don’t really include me. I take FOREVER in the shower bc it feels too nice and I don’t get out of it for a while. There are sometimes when my friend can’t really text me so I can’t really turn to anyone when I’m having a bad day so I go to imaginary friends. I do tend to rant a lot about a topic when someone is willing to listen to what I have to say. And last but not least, I’ve had a sudden obsession with fluffy throw pillow’s and blankets and any time I’m able to buy one, I will 100% buy it. Thank you so much for helping me realize what these things mean and how to help with them 💖
1. Bored (Yeahh..)
2. Jealous of others having fun (Oh every day of my life.)
3. Taking long showers (Oh, that's not normal?)
4. No one to turn to (Ah, I do but I stop myself. I don't want to be a bunmer..)
5. Oversharing (Yep absolutely)
6. Buying things and hoarding (Oh crap, I've been doing that a ton lately since I have some money again..)
Nobody knows how relatable it is, like every point!!!.....
1. Your often bored.
2. Your jealous of others having fun
3. You take long showers or baths
4. You have no one to turn to
5. Oversharing when others are willing to listen
6. You keep buying and boarding stuff
Omg finally a time stamp person, your a hero in the comment section
Besides the fact that I could relate, I luv how you added gentian in the thing✨✨✨
I've felt really lonely over this past summer with all my friends working their jobs and me getting dumped. I don't have many close relationships with anyone rn but that just pushed me to strengthen the one with myself and sorta try to be my own best friend. If you feel lonely and can't reach out to anyone, reach out to yourself! Get to know yourself better do things that you love! It's not selfish if you want the best for yourself.
Yess self love comes first! ❤️
I love that characters from Genshin Impact and Jujutsu Kaisen are presented in this video :D And thank you for this "episode"; I always thought I talk so much about myself only because of my past, but now I found out the second, less complex reason which is my loneliness
Im happy they represented hunter based on what Situation he is in the show And how it relates to real life
Thank you so much for this video.
Loneliness is something so many people are struggling with "thanks" to Covid.
So we definitely have to translate this video, too!
We wish you all an amazing day!
Yikes, looks like this one really got me. I do have plenty of people I consider friends but maybe one or two that I would confide the things I think about with on that special level. And they live far away so I cant really hang out with them in person. Can always try strengthening the bonds with those who are just a short drive away though.
I believe that many of us will see ourselves in this video, but it doesn't always really help to end the loneliness. There are many great ideas, but has anyone thought of the people who can't drive to see friends. You might have medical issues that keep you inside for too many hours of the day. Then you try meeting people online, say a pen pal...then you find out they are scams, people looking to for money.
I can honestly say that yes I am lonely, but I'm not going to get used or taken advantage of. No one should have this happen but it does and that made you feel more alone then before. I don't mind making new friends, but I tend to guard my heart, like many people in the world. I wish that this video could bring us all together, and share problems or just need some ones opinion. I wish us all the best in the world, and know that you are never alone when you have this channel.
As in introvert I need a lot of time alone, but I can't name a single person I could meet with and open up to if I had a serious problem, to tell them how I feel. There is some sort of disconnection towards everyone, even towards people I'm happy to be able to call my friends. Whenever I try to be more honest, it repels people, so I only open up to a certain degree.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
Thank you so much for always coming up with issues that one come across on day to day basis. Also,thanks for telling some of the things which one can try out in loneliness.
Thanks! You are the most awesome.
Sorry for the late reply! Thank you so much for the donation. Your contribution goes back to our content.
DDLC: 1:18 It Actually Helped me, no matter what we’re going through our friendship and our lives are still there always, even when I’m alone but I’m not always alone from my friends and family. 🙏💗💙🇰🇭👍🏻🦔🇺🇸 and also helped me when most people were out here for me and all of us, that are trusted, and also knowing how we feel, about ourselves and our lives, and our things and I kinda felt anxious about “some” people misunderstanding me for what I am, and it hurts like really, but thank you for this video and we all had those times before I felt the same way when I’m lonely.
Thank you so much for all your love and all your encouragement. We love you. Thank you.

I can relate to ALL these points , I feel them all on the daily since I lost my Hubby who was my Best Friend , he was the only person who love me for me . I don't have any friends and I never really had a female Best Friend and I don't feel close to my brothers we have nothing in common.
Im sorry for your loss , you look still very young I hope you find a friend (:
I'm really sorry for your loss, hope you are able to find the comfort you are seeking!
I feel that I haven’t been social as of late. I feel bored most since there’s nothing to do or anyone to hang out. But when I do try to talk to people in person, they just leave me off the dust and don’t want anything to do with me.
i’ve been hurt by people so much that i started to enjoy loneliness, it’s so peaceful
Thanks for this vid and I love that JJK 0 reference >< 4:30
Glad you love it :)
Can relate to all of them. Specially the last one :) This is my favorite channel
I love this channel because it’s so cute and wholesome
i’m in love with those random references
I got the bingo on this one. Bit hard to not be lonely as an introvert with an abrasive personality.
i needed this definitely, thanks for the video
I wasn't expecting this one to hit so close to home tbh 😞 all of them except #6 felt a little *too* accurate
Pov: you're a TOH fan and sees #4 of Hunter being depressed
Ahh finally some body noticed 😩
Literally no body is talking about it😃😂
I really needed this thank you and i also loved the fact that genshin was apart of this vid
“You keep buying and hoarding.”
Me,totally not feeling lonely whatsoever: *sweats nervously*
I truely can’t explain how correct this video was it had me 100% down to the T
I really enjoy your videos are so amazing I love watching them I know I shouldn’t assume some things and should ask actual people with degrees on some things but just getting a better grip on who I am or what’s going on is a lot of help truely I practically use your videos as my therapy 😅 thank you and plz keep making amazing content 😊
hi
Yup
It's very awkward lol

@@silentlion_zer0562 lol
Yes
I didn’t know I was secretly lonely... thanks for the video, it really helps :)
Thank you for you're videos, You always have something interesting to tell me. :D have a nice day who ever is reading this.
Im an extroverted ambivert. I am very vocal in classes and try to talk to people as much as i can but i am left out. And this loneliness has been a part of my life.
It's not easy to socialize with other people especially since i have a disability and I recently moved to a new house and my friends from school are now far away now and we can't hang out anymore it is lonely here and I do have some of the habits listed here but I keep trying my best to do better when socializing with other people and make small talk I just hope these suggestions will help keep up the good work on these videos they help alot.
Thank you it helped me a lot. I love the drawings!
These hit a little too close to home. Also, love the owl house reference!
"You may try to make yourself you don't really need anybody. Especially when you're along for a long time" I felt so called out.
Loved the references, particularly the TOH ones
I do feel lonely for a long time, speaking about 4 years or more. What makes it worst is that nobody seems to care nor trustable enough for me to share with.
Being lonely has given me opportunity to observe the behaviour of people around me, which is kinda cool I guess. I really envy people who can express their thoughts and feelings openly with others. I wish I could have someone who would trully willing to listen to me. I once even thought that I'd be really happy if someone were get to know me better.
It's so frustating, depressing, and I just feel like the only person who feel this way. I gradually developed trust issues and negative thoughts in my head.
I'm so sorry for bragging in the comment. It's just that I thought you could understand me.
Thank you for your time reading this ☺
It's really hard to find someone you can trust, nowadays... Sometimes you only want to have someone who can sit with you & listen to every word your heart says...
It's funny how I've known I've been lonely for roughly 16 years, as even when I was little I felt weird but didn't know why.
I've kinda always been lonely, which is why I'm happy when I get to hang out and talk to my friends, because then they make me forget every once in a while how lonely I feel
it hurts when you are so willing to open up but there's no one to listen. its a literal ache inside!
You can open up to me if you want I would love to help
Hope you will answer
Is it weird that because I don't have anyone to talk to I literally have conversations with myself. Pretending it's other ppl?
I do it every single day. At work and at home
I feel like I've been lonely most of my life. A couple of years ago, I started sharing my feelings & problems with my friends and they really listened & genuinely tried to help me heal from my traumas but it was taking very long time to fully get out of my depression. I felt like I was dissapointing them and being a burden so I decided to keep my problems to myself & pretended to be fine by learning to 'fake smile'. I love them & we have a good friendship but sometimes I feel lonely in my battles.
Why did this make me cry-
0:49 - 0:54
Yup. The 5 Inner Sailor Scouts right there
Oh my god! I can relate so much and I love your videos
I think I know why it’s so difficult for me to keep friendships.
I call myself the ‘fleeting friend’ or ‘the giver’.
I help them, message them the first few days a lot and try to make them adapt to new environments. Then… nothing.
It happens a lot during high school. I helped new kids to adapt to our classroom (from Peru) and help them in classes and meet people who would love to be friends with. Then suddenly, like, I didn’t notice, one or two weeks later, I find myself not following their adventures. I feel left behind. Like I don’t belong there. So I just leave.
Now that I’m at college, I noticed that I always try to give the people around me a lot to like me. I help them during exam and homeworks even when I don’t know them. I give them a hand in times when even I’m struggling, and sometimes they insist that I help them.
I feel the need to give them something to keep them around.
It has happened since I was a child. I think it came from there. The girls that I met at the park, I always wanted to be part of their group and play, they would reject me, then accept me. After some hours playing, I would ask my dad to invite them some chips or something (silly me thinking of being kind) and he would buy it. After they ate, they would leave saying that they had to go. I would leave to another place of the park, only to find them on the same spot minutes later.
I was being used by the girls so they could get something to eat and drink.
I don’t even know what is like to have true friends, like, I don’t know if I should call someone a friend or someone I know.
I don’t know anymore. Do they talk everyday? What do they talk about? How do they make plans? What should I say?
I. DON’T. KNOW.
This is the one video where I can say that I relate to every point… I knew I was lonely but actually basically confirming it hits different. I learned from my ex that the only thing for me that helps is affection, and god knows I have no one for that anymore. Maybe people are right, I should stop having feelings? Idk
Number 6 is so relatable, I get so connected with objects since they can’t let me down like real people do
I was suspecting I'm feeing a deep loneliness. I just had to cut connection with a friend because she had a bad infleunce on me. My twin and little brotther and dad also left on a vacation to Morroc, and I never had the best bond with my mom so we don't talk much. I don't find much comfort in texting with my friends because I don't like talking over a phone. I can't meet up with my friends because they're on vavaction or are to far away from me. Next year I'm also going to a new school and I'm afraid of making no friends or getting bullied. I don't feel like talkin to people because they make me nervous. I'm struggling with social anxiety so I do feel very lonely at times. But there is always hope! Thanks to this channel I was able to find the problems I'm dealing with and how to solve them! :)
2:38 i like the owl house animation
Glad you like it!
Her voice just calms me down :)
OMG I LOVE THE GENSHIN ANIMATION
I love this animation style ❤️
THANK YOU ELISA FOR DRAWING SPONGEBOB, PATRICK AND SQUIDWARD AS PLANT PEOPLE
You're welcome! Happy you enjoyed it!!
I've been feeling isolated and lonely I've been feeling this way it seems like almost for eternity I've been feeling this way for the past 7 + years since 2016 because I know what it's like to be deeply lonely and heartbroken and have no one to count one or talk to or have things in common with thank you for making your videos it gives me a little bit of comfort and happiness since I don't have nobody in my life anymore your videos gives me a little bit happiness
Great video guys thanks for the video It made me feel a little less lonely , I have physical disability so for that reason it isn't easy to get out to meet people 😀
I can relate to nearly all of these points. I try to find friends, but it's hard to stick with most of them for a long time. It doesn't help that I live nearly 1 hour from where they live at the moment.
At 2:55 I saw the main five characters from the owl house.
Amity, Luz, Gus, Hunter, and Willow.
Edit: the entire number four has something to do with the owl house
Surprisingly, everything that was said in this video, I have it all. I feel lonely all the time, and this helped me understand better. I am lonely.
Hii ! I am Bhumika. Let's be friends; feel free to chat with me whenever you wanna ☺️
Just some feedback, I think a good set of videos related to this could be tips on how to resolve feeling lonely, as it can be difficult to know how to reduce feeling alone. 💡Might be really helpful for people struggling to break free from loneliness. 🙂Also, liked the Sailor Moon reference at 0:50, very cute. ☺
Well this describes my current situation perfectly except for the last mentioned and this situation started recently, but I think that at some point we will all have to be truly alone and it only depends on one if we can bear it since as the same video says, it is not only having people around you, it is having someone to fully trust and that is difficult.
