This video has always meant a lot to me so seeing it get more attention out of nowhere is... nice. Thank you guys aaaa 💖💖 Soo I’ve been feeling a lot better recently especially with the time alone to rediscover some things abt myself.. Thank you for all the kind comments here. They really make my day, and to all the people who relate, at least now we know we aren’t alone ?? Haha Take care of urselves and I hope that wherever u are.. things get better
im glad to hear that, you're doing amazing (っ･ω･)っ (also on a side note your insta link on ur yt channel is broken jsyk, and your art is beautiful :3c)
Like I heard the song before but never payed much attention to the lyrics and now, all of a sudden, I'm relating hard to it (and animation reinforces the sad mood)
i honestly feel like i missed a huge chunk of my youth due to my own insecurities and hesitation to actively hold it and make it mine getting in the way. for all of high school, i had never tried to seek and form new relationships, just latched on to old ones because they came from a happy past that i absolutely refused to let go of. during that time, i was obsessed with fanfiction, fan art, and just fan culture in general. i had absolutely no trust in people around me; i never trusted them to know me-or maybe it was because i never trusted myself to know me either. the mortifying ordeal of being known had always breathed itself at the nape of my neck whenever a prospective relationship loomed behind me. and like a coward, i’d run away from it, as if i was a prey running from a predator. i’d overengage with fan culture to let these gaping holes of mine feel like open arms than open wounds. now with all these holes within me, i found myself becoming air: a vast expanse touching everything, yet having nothing to hold.
I feel like all animators are lonely, ive seen so many vent animatics about self isolation that im convinced we are all the same person and we're all hopeless recluse romantic idealists.
yeah 100%. artists i feel like are romantics hardcore where its good mostly it sorta has a really negative effect like romanticizing so hard it leads you to the stairs of despair bc you cant do xyorz or something else like a shitty domino effect
Everybody is sad. The people you watch, celebrities included, are all human. "If you were happy all the time you wouldn't be human. You'd be a gameshow host." (Veronica Sawyer)
Honestly felt this on a personal level, I want somebody...I dont even care if it's not romantic love I just want someone to love me..care a about me...someone who won't call me weird, clingy..I want a friend who's not toxic. Your animatics are honestly so amazing
I like to believe that someone among the billions of people in the world is in the same situation that I’m in. I know absolutely nothing about them, but I support them no matter what, and somehow care about them more than anything else. even if they don’t know I exist. I also like to think that someone is doing the same for me. I call it the bedroom community. We’re all sitting on our bedroom floors, watching the world go by and hoping things get better. Everyone is welcome here
@@Jimiflowerr yeahh sameee... i dont like talking to people about how i feel because they give crappy responses or they're like "oh same" and turn the convo towards them...
@@rahhminaa Exactlyy I know I’m a random person here so you don’t have to but if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here bc I still try to encourage my friends even if they don’t do the same tbh
Okay but the dynamic between shitting down all online interactions because you feel so empty and drained vs running and clawing for any scrap of social interaction really illustrates the cycle of depression and self isolating, at least for me at least
1:31 I relate to this part so much. Just trying your hardest to be a social butterfly and kinda liking it but other days you just feel like you're not wanted or needed by the people around you and on these days you feel like the room is just getting bigger and bigger but you are getting smaller and smaller . Getting the feeling like you're going to dissolve in the crowd any minute. It feels very suffocating.
okay but the thing of interlocking your own fingers?? that one HITS man i have no idea how many times i've done that in just the past month, let alone since lockdown started, here's to hoping we'll all make it through this and get to hold hands again
Honestly, this pandemic has been so fucking bad for the mental health of many neurodivergent people and neurotypicals alike. I always feel this sort of oppressive loneliness and this song always helps me to sing my feelings out. I hope you’re doing better, wherever you are.
Reminder: its okay to cry. You arent weak, pathetic, or pitiful. You're doing what you can. This is so very rough for many people. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by people I love. Others are not. Please do what you need to do to feel better. And don't hurt yourself. There are people out there that so desperately wish for you to be happy even though they dont know you at all.
this is so underrated. I really relate to this song, so I felt very emotional watching this wonderful animatic. thank you, I love your art. I think you deserve more attention. you're amazing. also I hope you will get alright! 👉👈
Emotions are meaningless and what we all had to go through no matter the story no matter the age no matter the time period we all deserve to be happy But not everyone deserves to be happy and who am I to determine that? I'm nobody
omg ikr. like the one chance i could talk to someone, idec if ive never met them but my mind goes crazy and i end up not talking to them bc my social anxiety go 📈📈
Hey, to anyone who’s reading this, make sure to stay safe, drink some water, and know that someone out there cares about you. 💗💞💕 Just know that you don’t need someone else to be loved, you can love yourself.
you know lately I've been feeling very lonely. my friends don't write to me, my mom works from morning to night and I have absolutely no one to talk to and I feel like I'm gradually sinking deeper and deeper... disgusting feeling but hope you are doing well and this animation deserves more attention♥️
ayooo You doing good fam? I understand your going through something mentally deteriorating but stay strong, It'll end soon, Sending virtual hugs to make you feel better tho! ＼(*＾▽＾*)／＼(*＾▽＾*)／
Listening to this at 2:20 AM in my bathroom was an experience and you made me feel things that I can't name but are very powerful. Very very nice art and thank you for the video, from that somewhere in the depths of my heart you awakened.
0:45 that one really hits hard to me, because I want to talk to people but at the same time not at all. Which isn't helping whatsoever. Hope you guys get someone you could talk to since it looks like we all need it.
i dont even care what their personality is like at this point. whether they're toxic or completely nice i dont care. i just want anyone to talk to me without thinking im annoying or a burden
No, you deserve to be in a healthy relationship, especially with someone who treats you with respect. Don't forget that when you're stuck in a toxic relationship with someone, they'll treat you like crap and tell you mean things to put you down. Please know that you deserve better
I feel this. As time goes on, all my virtual classmates are becoming physical and less and less people want to talk to me. Less and less people have the time. Less people need me. And I love virtual school so much. I've learnt more about myself this school year than any other because I can actually do things that interest me in my free time. But nobody I know wants to stay. Or they can't due to their parents. And it feels like the past is repeating itself. And all my relationships are becoming hollow. But my family has also distanced themselves and I just feel so completely alone despite having like,, 3 siblings. And a group of friends. But none of them really want me there. None of them really want to know me anymore, and I'm not mad about it. I'm not even really that upset, but I just wish that my thoughts weren't proven right. For once, I wanted to be wrong.
The loneliness hits hard when you experience it your self and this is so damm relatable! This is making me wanna cry, because I don’t wanna just comfort myself all the time and plus it doesn’t work half of the time I just really want somebody to care for me lover or not just someone.. even right now if someone hugs me imma just start crying from all of the loneliness that got built it up inside of me for the pass year
Everybody deserves to be loved, no matter their opinions or what they've done. We are all people. We like the feeling of love and affection, and thats okay. But nobody DESERVES to go through sadness. not me or you. We have to be kind to others, your god, or even no god if you dont believe in any will be proud of us if we do so. Everyone around us will be proud. Even if there are negative emotions affecting you, we still have alot of positive ones trying to reach out to you. One being: Happiness! I am also very proud of any of you out there, reading my comment. I am proud of you for being kind to others, for not giving up. I am proud of you for staying hydrated or eating even a tiny snack. Im proud of you for brushing your teeth, im proud you've done your homework. Im proud of you for even the most simple task a person can do. I hope all of you, no matter what you've done, or how different an opinion can be, have happiness in your life, from yourself and someone there to help you when at your worst. I hope everyone is doing well so far. I also hope that people are staying hydrated and doing well. I hope i cheered you up, because even if i didn't, i still tried. : )
sorry for the vent but at this point, I feel so unwanted. it feels like my friends just decided to throw me away. it's like I'm just a piece of paper that's been used and thrown away. i know they have a group chat without me and that they're toxic but I cant get away since I'm in primary school still so I have to keep on seeing them and then stupid adults are always like "you'll always find some more friends!!" but I cant, i want better friends now. my two friends that lived at my apartment complex both moved away and I'm barely able to keep in touch with them. i want to move schools but i don't want my life to change. it's scary and if i tell my parents this, they'll be all worried for me but i don't want them to worry since it just makes our relationship awkward. i hate it here, how come i don't get to be the one who ditches people? why do i have to be the one being ditched? I'm not good at making friends either so even if i saw some other people who seem like good friends I'm not able to talk to them. i always have to be the one interested in the other person's interest, I'm the only one making an effort to save the friendship. again, I'm sorry that you had to actually read this. have a great day/night and go get a snack and a glass of water :))
damn this looks really good for a vent and its so expressive too hope you're feeling better now but if you're not, thats okay its okay to not feel okay and I think myself and a lot of other people need to hear that more so I'm putting it into this comment
holy heck i relate to this so much. it’s just, ever since this pandemic started, i thought everything would be fine, but it just got worse, for me. i thought that if everyone were at home, my friends and i would still be able to hang out, we still do, just not as much. they’re busy, but i have all this free time because i’ve been neglecting everything and distracting myself from it. my dad told me that i wouldn’t be disappointing anyone but me, and he’s right. i just, i need someone to guide me and someone that can rely on me, but truth be told, there’s *nobody.* i, i just hope things would go back the way it was, so that we, so that i can be happy again.
Bro this is literally me avoiding my assignments bc I'm too distracted by the song and overthinking, the rest of the things here are mad relatable as well-
the running scene was so well done, her eyes showed so much desperation and hopelessness, like she was running but she didn't know where and she knew it wouldn't help. amazing
Damn that was a great animatic. Not much to say except it was done wonderfully. Also I hope you’ve gotten better now. Your hard work is very admirable ❤️
this song gives vibes of locking yourself in your bathroom at 3am and having a mental breakdown and cutting off chunks of your hair bc it's like taking out your anger and you just want to be a little kid again when every thing was nice and not complicated and you didn't realise how bad the world can be totes not talking from experience
years later and this is still the only animatic that has captured the pandemic experience + general isolation so, so well (at least in my perspective) I like to think I've done my part in moving on from that period in our lives, but when the feels hit and the mourning and loneliness sinks in-I find myself coming back to this video. it's weirdly therapeutic, quite comforting, and honestly healing. hope you're doing good, creator person! we may not know how many lives you've touched with this work, but I can guarantee you that one of them is me.
holy shit the eyes at 2:20 scared the crap out of me. I've never seen that type of feeling captured before and honestly... on point. Desperation that rapidly and suddenly turns into something feral and chaotic. Mad with loneliness.
This was me in college Although I attempted to reach out many times (jointing clubs, texting acquaintances) I just didn’t find my “rock” of people to depend on. And being away from your family, I learned how suffocating loneliness is. It’s like a weight that pulls you down, and you’d think you’d get more things done with not having a social life but it’s the complete opposite. Being lonely was so f*cking miserable. I’m in a better place now, because I gained a friend and a group of people I feel comfortable around. And I’m so ducking grateful for them. Overall thank you for this video op, loneliness is no joke and you managed to capture it flawlessly.
I find it really hard to identify and express my emotions but this is exactly how I feel sometimes, I only now heard the rest of the song and the animation with it made me feel like someone else knows what I mean, even if I don't know them and they don't know me. Thank you so much, this is amazing!
this is a wonderful little animatic and it deserves the attention it's getting rn because holy shit it really reached into my chest and squeezed at my heart
I really felt this. I feel like my friends have been ignoring me recently because apparently I’m annoying. I tell them about it and they just say “well it must be in your head because *I* don’t see that”. I just agree and flash a smile but really I’m worried and hurting inside. I’m not even close to being nearly attractive enough to be in a relationship, and everyday I’m not in a relationship I stare at myself in the mirror for another minute longer analyzing every bit of myself down to the bone and hating everything I see. Wondering why I had to be born like this. Why I had to be a mess that no one wants. Just wanting to be someone else. Just wanting *someone*. My love language is touch. I just want someone to hold and confine in. Someone that I can tell my deepest problems and they will actually listen and care. I don’t know if I’m just talking to a wall or rambling, but I hope I got my point across
2:13 just hits different. so (my interpretation) is that its like when everyone has that point when they say "and when i was at my lowest ___ came and saved me" but when your at your lowest, no ones there but yourself and it just drives you deeper into that hole of "nobody care/is there for me/ect". i'd know since i've been there when i helped people but then no one was there for me except myself. its real rough but i hope your doing better now
I think the thing I picked up on the most and relate to the most is well, the turning off the notification, the declining the calls, the acts of self isolation all together. I crave and want to have that mutual understanding with a person romantically or not but just _someone_ ... it’s tough, it’s a self sabotaging cycle...
In the end it's not like I don't have anyone. It's like I'm the pushing everyone away. You did a good job with getting your feelings through with this animatic, I hope you feel better
I would recommend at least saying what's going on because from the other side, we, the person who gets text messages have no idea what's going on with no response at all.
The last part where the "nobody" part sounded fainter and fainter hit really different cuz like sometimes i get to the worst point where i just delete all of socials like instragram and when someone tries to check on me or start a convo i just don't have the enough energy to reply nor even hold the convo.... tbh sometimes i actually wish to delete my all my of socials, cut everyone off and just go somewhere quieter cuz everything is getting too tiring for me
Whoof. that was incredible. such a strong, powerful way to express ones-self. It tells you everything through not just tone and vocals, which, mitski is near PERFECT with, it was also the strong, simple visuals. Feelings you can't describe, but can very obviously feel. Feelings that can only really be shown, or felt. Beyond the ability of most single-media works, like music, art, or food even. And even better, it's Mitski. TLDR: it makes you feel feels
Alright maybe this is weird but I'm kinda glad it's not one of those animatics that ends on a happy note. Of course I hope you the creator and you who is maybe reading this are doing better. I hope things are looking up for you. For me personally who isn't quite there yet it just felt mocking to see things "get better" in some of these. Like they could all do it, why couldn't I? So thank you, creator, so much for making a video that makes me feel a little less alone in not being okay. For those of you who are doing better, be proud of your progress! And for those like me who are still finding their way, I'm sure there's a light at the end for all of us and we'll get there in time. :)
Just venting :'< I've been having friend problems for my whole life. When I was on 2nd grade, my family moved across the country and I had to leave all my old friends. I didn't think much of it, but now I sometimes wonder, would it be different right now if we never moved? I was so alone in middle school, and I thought high school would be my savior. And it was, at first. I made new friends and we got along very well. We spent late nights chatting together on discord, and played on my minecraft realm. But it was too good to last. Slowly, people got bored of the server. Late night calls stopped. Messaging each other got rarer everyday. I tried to ask people to hang out, a massive step for anxious me. I tried many times. But nobody ever came. Covid cases got rarer on my hometown, and we returned to school. I was very anxious about it. It was fine, until I realized that my friends had made new friends while our chats had ended. Of course I'm happy for them. Right? Right...? I tried asking them if I could join their new discord server. They said "sorry, it's just that, uuuhhh, our friends don't really know you yet..." I- I should be happy that my friends are happy. But, god, I'm so lonely. I can't help it, I try too hard to get people to like me, and think that we have a deeper connection than we actually do. And then I find out, they have other best friends, and I'm just a friend. I have such a hard time making friends because of my anxiety. I try my best, I really do. But still... Nobody wants me.
hi.. ive been having these for like, my life since middle school lol. same, when i moved away from my only two best friends, i didnt think so much of it because i could still contact them on my phone, but.. i felt like my very close friend is slowly getting to know and befriend a lot of people and forgetting about me. actually, one of my best friends doesn’t contact me anymore. neither do i contact her.. i am so bad at talking to people that when i didnt really have anymore things to text with my closest friend, and we’re like slowly getting distant from each other, my social anxiety got worse. i feel like i can’t even talk to my only friends anymore. and now, since my social anxiety and insecurities are slowly controlling me, i feel like i’ll actually lose them. i have never felt this lonely in my entire life. sorry- i kinda ranted.
Hey friend, I have fairly bad social anxiety and anxiety, too, and spent a lot of time in highschool feeling sad that I didn't have a group of friends. Not all people are meant to have a group of friends and it's not something to be ashamed of. I have a friend here and a friend there and over yonder, all different types of people, all different conversation topics happening. Out of highschool, I have noticed the lack of social structure school gives you has made socializing harder. Before last year, I wasn't able to say yes to hanging out with people, and I'm a people pleaser who hates saying no, so sometimes I would run into full day anxiety attacks just trying to figure out how to say 'no, sorry, not today' I guess to encompass all of this, it takes time to break out of your shell and consistency to feel comfortable doing that. It takes time meeting the right people. I've made many friends, I've kept very few of them. That's fine, it takes time to find the right people for you to be around. It's a learning process, so don't ridicule yourself or feel ashamed that you can't do it just yet, focus on how you're feeling, why you feel you can't do something right now and try to learn how you overcome those feelings. There are people out there, many, and you have so many years to spend meeting them
Man I feel you same thing is happening to me .... The friends I thought were most dear to me .....we don't talk that much anymore, the chats are dry and nobody cares to say 'hi' or 'how are you ' I'm always the one to start a conversation but the conversation doesn't last that long. Never felt this lonely before.
@@tobiyouu idk if this will help since I don’t know ur friend personally. For a few months I’ve been arguing with my best friend (I’ve been friends with her for ten years). Last two weeks ago she came clean mid-heated argument and mentioned the fact that she felt so out of place in our friend group and that she felt so out of touch to the point she didn’t know what to tell us everytime she wanted to text us. Since you do realize you’re getting distant with your friends, there’s still a chance saving those friendships if you’re actually willing to. Be straightforward with them and ask them if they’re still willing to stay with you (it can’t be one-sided after all), and make an effort to try and talk to them. That’s what I did with my said best friend and now we keep in touch like in the old days. Anyways just a piece of advice. But there are of course times when friends drift away from you due to major differences. It happens. And don’t let your insecurities stop you from making new friends. And speaking from personal experiences, I think it’s best to figure out where your insecurity stems from and what you are actually feeling since itll also help you figure out how to overcome said insecurities. For example, I was insecure of my physical looks and I had to stop scrolling through social media for a long time and stop comparing myself to others. I eventually learned to accept that my body is different from everyone else. I also used to stop making friends altogether since I felt out of place and felt more comfort in isolation, but it took me a few years to finally stop using that mindset and tried to talk to people even if we only had one thing in common (while of course still spending most of my time alone). It helped me become a bit more confident, and itll prolly do the same to u. You’ll eventually find the people you can vibe with, just takes time.
I used to do alot of what's going on in this video, and I still do. The only difference is that I'm getting more sleep, which is definitely a start. I haven't gone far, but I'm still proud of myself and I'm hoping I can continue the way I'm going without relapsing.
3 years later, and the overall traction on this vid is gone. So im just gonna leave this random comment here for myself. Idk Lol I added a lot of references to the quarantine bc thats when I ACTUALLY decided to work on this video, but the concept i came up with way before. A lot of the feelings depicted was just.. me in everyday life being avoidant and stupid and cowardly and constantly hating myself. And I’m still like that now which sucks but I’ve been working on it and that effort alone is enough to make me feel a little better
i feel this too much haha, i want to reach out to ppl but i know they're busy or too lazy to talk. but hey im somebody so if you have smthn you wanna dump i'll listen, i wont judge also i see that sweet tgcf content on your channel Xie Lian is such a beAN
This is completely reflecting my emotions and how I feel, this is the one thing that had made me let out my emotions and cry for once. I want to thank you for that
How did I not stumble upon this last year? This literally shows everything that I've been through during the quarantine. Though seeing this now made me realize that I'm in a much better place mentally than I was last year. So, thank you very much! This is an amazing animatic that conveyed many people's feelings thoroughly, you are very talented!
How interesting there are many people like this but we are so away without knowing they exist, like just think about how it could be an amazing friendship (idk if that makes sense lol)
i relate so hard, i want to interact with my friends but at the same time i ignore my notifications for reasons i don't even know myself, and i fill the human-contact-hungry void with fiction. yet i still say i'm lonely.
hey! look over here. *it’s ok to cry. if you need to cry, let it out my friend. it’s not good to hold your emotions in. let your feelings out, mk? ily 💛*
Ngl relate to this a lot especially because of COVID and quarantine. I feel like those who graduated 2020 and were suddenly ripped of all socialization may be feeling like this. At least I am even now. Good to know I’m not the only one who feels this way tho :)
I'm so sorry for everything that has gone wrong for anyone reading this! The universe loves you! I love you! We all love and care about you! No matter how alone you feel there will always be someone who cares about you.
This video has always meant a lot to me so seeing it get more attention out of nowhere is... nice. Thank you guys aaaa 💖💖
Soo I’ve been feeling a lot better recently especially with the time alone to rediscover some things abt myself..
Thank you for all the kind comments here. They really make my day, and to all the people who relate, at least now we know we aren’t alone ?? Haha

Using fanfiction to fill the holes of human interaction when you’re feeling lonely and isolated... that hits hard
Ok, you had absolutely NO reason to call me out like that...
Sheesh I felt that 😭
i honestly feel like i missed a huge chunk of my youth due to my own insecurities and hesitation to actively hold it and make it mine getting in the way. for all of high school, i had never tried to seek and form new relationships, just latched on to old ones because they came from a happy past that i absolutely refused to let go of. during that time, i was obsessed with fanfiction, fan art, and just fan culture in general. i had absolutely no trust in people around me; i never trusted them to know me-or maybe it was because i never trusted myself to know me either. the mortifying ordeal of being known had always breathed itself at the nape of my neck whenever a prospective relationship loomed behind me. and like a coward, i’d run away from it, as if i was a prey running from a predator. i’d overengage with fan culture to let these gaping holes of mine feel like open arms than open wounds. now with all these holes within me, i found myself becoming air: a vast expanse touching everything, yet having nothing to hold.

Just trying your hardest to be a social butterfly and kinda liking it but other days you just feel like you're not wanted or needed by the people around you and on these days you feel like the room is just getting bigger and bigger but you are getting smaller and smaller . Getting the feeling like you're going to dissolve in the crowd any minute. It feels very suffocating.
you put it into words
Oof I felt this on an astronomical level (;_;)
𝖳𝗁𝗂𝗌 𝗁𝗂𝗍 𝗁𝖺𝗋𝖽 :(
god, this really hits right now
The worst thing that we'll realise leaving this pandemic is you're still just as lonely, lockdown or not
Aww :c
That's true..
Ye thanks for the reminder
Ouch.
It’s just because of lockdown you won’t be lonely afterwards!
Me: “damn... so relatable.”
Also me: “ew, no, I hate people...”
It be like that lmaoo
I wanna have friends without having to go through the first interaction at this point sybehb
get that, I always get upset when ppl don't talk to me, but then when they do I ignore them half the time so it's mostly my fault (at least online)

okay but the thing of interlocking your own fingers?? that one HITS man i have no idea how many times i've done that in just the past month, let alone since lockdown started, here's to hoping we'll all make it through this and get to hold hands again
Honestly, this pandemic has been so fucking bad for the mental health of many neurodivergent people and neurotypicals alike.
I always feel this sort of oppressive loneliness and this song always helps me to sing my feelings out. I hope you’re doing better, wherever you are.
thanks josuke. ❤️
@@stfu4302 ur welcome josuke
It harm me a bit.. Or a lot. I am nerodivergent. I do hope you're doing well pal.
"so i open the window to hear the sounds of people"
*but in a different concept*
i love it
the ao3 part.. i relate too much to this beautiful video in every way. mitski animatics are always automatically good
Reminder: its okay to cry. You arent weak, pathetic, or pitiful.
You're doing what you can. This is so very rough for many people. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by people I love. Others are not. Please do what you need to do to feel better.
And don't hurt yourself. There are people out there that so desperately wish for you to be happy even though they dont know you at all.
Thanks, I really needed this
this is so underrated. I really relate to this song, so I felt very emotional watching this wonderful animatic. thank you, I love your art. I think you deserve more attention. you're amazing. also I hope you will get alright! 👉👈
Thank you so much 😢💕💖 I’m glad u liked the animatic and I’m definitely feeling alright now ✨
Emotions are meaningless and what we all had to go through no matter the story no matter the age no matter the time period we all deserve to be happy
But not everyone deserves to be happy and who am I to determine that?
I'm nobody
Yes they do. Everyone deserves to be loved and happy. Even “nobodies”. 💞
Well, it takes No-one to know one.
Dear god..
Maybe you can be meaningful to someone?
@@gameseeker6307 but there's nobody to be meaningful to?
me with social anxiety but a constant unwavering need for attention because *trauma*
I feel like the song and the animation describe my entire existence...
Part with "and im big and small and big and small" is so acuratte to me as a ambivalent
Why can I relate to every single part of this video, especially when she has holding her hands.
I already had no social life before corona, but now, somehow my nonexistent social life is even more non existent. im so bad at talking to people
omg ikr. like the one chance i could talk to someone, idec if ive never met them but my mind goes crazy and i end up not talking to them bc my social anxiety go 📈📈
fr- ive turned to omegle... it's gone that low..
Same I can’t even join a gc and say anything other then “hi” and “how are you guys” awkwardly then leaving
same.
@@Jimiflowerr GOSH SAME. that’s why i left discord cuz if i cant even talk to people why do i need to use it-
Hey, to anyone who’s reading this, make sure to stay safe, drink some water, and know that someone out there cares about you. 💗💞💕 Just know that you don’t need someone else to be loved, you can love yourself.
i dont exactly know but this burst me into tears, ig i should remind myself that beautiful things happening. tysm
Yes! You don’t need anyone!
@@esra00000 I’m glad this cheered someone up! 😁
you know lately I've been feeling very lonely. my friends don't write to me, my mom works from morning to night and I have absolutely no one to talk to and I feel like I'm gradually sinking deeper and deeper... disgusting feeling but hope you are doing well and this animation deserves more attention♥️
ayooo
You doing good fam?
I understand your going through something mentally deteriorating but stay strong, It'll end soon, Sending virtual hugs to make you feel better tho! ＼(*＾▽＾*)／＼(*＾▽＾*)／

Hi! How are you doing now? Wanna talk?
Stay strong, you're important.❤️
i am going to find yu and give you a hug
Listening to this at 2:20 AM in my bathroom was an experience and you made me feel things that I can't name but are very powerful. Very very nice art and thank you for the video, from that somewhere in the depths of my heart you awakened.
Being recommended this today ensures it’s fame in the future.
The bits of imagining holding someone's hand and then the like, sadness of realizing you're holding your own? Oof, i've been there so many times
0:45 that one really hits hard to me, because I want to talk to people but at the same time not at all. Which isn't helping whatsoever.
Hope you guys get someone you could talk to since it looks like we all need it.
i dont even care what their personality is like at this point. whether they're toxic or completely nice i dont care. i just want anyone to talk to me without thinking im annoying or a burden
Same :c
hey! we could b friends I have a discord
yeah me too
@@octaviaaan3988 be my friend please 🫵🫵🫵
No, you deserve to be in a healthy relationship, especially with someone who treats you with respect. Don't forget that when you're stuck in a toxic relationship with someone, they'll treat you like crap and tell you mean things to put you down. Please know that you deserve better
Messy vent?
BEAUTIFUL VENT!!!!!!
I feel this. As time goes on, all my virtual classmates are becoming physical and less and less people want to talk to me. Less and less people have the time. Less people need me. And I love virtual school so much. I've learnt more about myself this school year than any other because I can actually do things that interest me in my free time. But nobody I know wants to stay. Or they can't due to their parents. And it feels like the past is repeating itself. And all my relationships are becoming hollow. But my family has also distanced themselves and I just feel so completely alone despite having like,, 3 siblings. And a group of friends. But none of them really want me there. None of them really want to know me anymore, and I'm not mad about it. I'm not even really that upset, but I just wish that my thoughts weren't proven right. For once, I wanted to be wrong.
2:11 i started tearing up too i love this vid so much
The loneliness hits hard when you experience it your self and this is so damm relatable! This is making me wanna cry, because I don’t wanna just comfort myself all the time and plus it doesn’t work half of the time I just really want somebody to care for me lover or not just someone.. even right now if someone hugs me imma just start crying from all of the loneliness that got built it up inside of me for the pass year
I wanna feel physically comfort because if it’s just online comfort it feels almost face at time..
Can I just say the use of open another window thing was so original
Everybody deserves to be loved, no matter their opinions or what they've done. We are all people. We like the feeling of love and affection, and thats okay. But nobody DESERVES to go through sadness. not me or you. We have to be kind to others, your god, or even no god if you dont believe in any will be proud of us if we do so. Everyone around us will be proud.
Even if there are negative emotions affecting you, we still have alot of positive ones trying to reach out to you. One being: Happiness!
I am also very proud of any of you out there, reading my comment. I am proud of you for being kind to others, for not giving up. I am proud of you for staying hydrated or eating even a tiny snack. Im proud of you for brushing your teeth, im proud you've done your homework. Im proud of you for even the most simple task a person can do. I hope all of you, no matter what you've done, or how different an opinion can be, have happiness in your life, from yourself and someone there to help you when at your worst. I hope everyone is doing well so far.
I also hope that people are staying hydrated and doing well. I hope i cheered you up, because even if i didn't, i still tried.
: )
sorry for the vent but at this point, I feel so unwanted. it feels like my friends just decided to throw me away. it's like I'm just a piece of paper that's been used and thrown away. i know they have a group chat without me and that they're toxic but I cant get away since I'm in primary school still so I have to keep on seeing them and then stupid adults are always like "you'll always find some more friends!!" but I cant, i want better friends now. my two friends that lived at my apartment complex both moved away and I'm barely able to keep in touch with them. i want to move schools but i don't want my life to change. it's scary and if i tell my parents this, they'll be all worried for me but i don't want them to worry since it just makes our relationship awkward. i hate it here, how come i don't get to be the one who ditches people? why do i have to be the one being ditched? I'm not good at making friends either so even if i saw some other people who seem like good friends I'm not able to talk to them. i always have to be the one interested in the other person's interest, I'm the only one making an effort to save the friendship. again, I'm sorry that you had to actually read this. have a great day/night and go get a snack and a glass of water :))
Just stick in there, someone will respect you one day.
nooooo why am i self projecting onto this
damn
this looks really good for a vent
and its so expressive too
hope you're feeling better now
but if you're not, thats okay
its okay to not feel okay
and I think myself and a lot of other people need to hear that more so I'm putting it into this comment
Did not expect the animation, it was truly amazing.
holy heck i relate to this so much. it’s just, ever since this pandemic started, i thought everything would be fine, but it just got worse, for me. i thought that if everyone were at home, my friends and i would still be able to hang out, we still do, just not as much. they’re busy, but i have all this free time because i’ve been neglecting everything and distracting myself from it. my dad told me that i wouldn’t be disappointing anyone but me, and he’s right. i just, i need someone to guide me and someone that can rely on me, but truth be told, there’s *nobody.* i, i just hope things would go back the way it was, so that we, so that i can be happy again.
Bro this is literally me avoiding my assignments bc I'm too distracted by the song and overthinking, the rest of the things here are mad relatable as well-
When they ask they ditch you, but when you ask them they never show up.
the running scene was so well done, her eyes showed so much desperation and hopelessness, like she was running but she didn't know where and she knew it wouldn't help. amazing
Damn that was a great animatic. Not much to say except it was done wonderfully. Also I hope you’ve gotten better now. Your hard work is very admirable ❤️
no because i've been watching this on repeat because i relate to it so much and it's so comforting to me help
this song gives vibes of locking yourself in your bathroom at 3am and having a mental breakdown and cutting off chunks of your hair bc it's like taking out your anger and you just want to be a little kid again when every thing was nice and not complicated and you didn't realise how bad the world can be
totes not talking from experience
years later and this is still the only animatic that has captured the pandemic experience + general isolation so, so well (at least in my perspective)
I like to think I've done my part in moving on from that period in our lives, but when the feels hit and the mourning and loneliness sinks in-I find myself coming back to this video. it's weirdly therapeutic, quite comforting, and honestly healing.
hope you're doing good, creator person! we may not know how many lives you've touched with this work, but I can guarantee you that one of them is me.
bro this is so poggers I loved when the girl (?) opened the door and it was nobody
holy shit the eyes at 2:20 scared the crap out of me. I've never seen that type of feeling captured before and honestly... on point. Desperation that rapidly and suddenly turns into something feral and chaotic. Mad with loneliness.
At this point hearing laughter makes me sad cause I haven't had a good genuine laugh in so long
The running animation is so smooth i love everything about this❤️
1:04 AYO THIS GETTING A LITTLE TOO ACCURATE
This was me in college
Although I attempted to reach out many times (jointing clubs, texting acquaintances) I just didn’t find my “rock” of people to depend on. And being away from your family, I learned how suffocating loneliness is. It’s like a weight that pulls you down, and you’d think you’d get more things done with not having a social life but it’s the complete opposite. Being lonely was so f*cking miserable.
I’m in a better place now, because I gained a friend and a group of people I feel comfortable around. And I’m so ducking grateful for them.
Overall thank you for this video op, loneliness is no joke and you managed to capture it flawlessly.
I find it really hard to identify and express my emotions but this is exactly how I feel sometimes, I only now heard the rest of the song and the animation with it made me feel like someone else knows what I mean, even if I don't know them and they don't know me. Thank you so much, this is amazing!
this is a wonderful little animatic and it deserves the attention it's getting rn because holy shit it really reached into my chest and squeezed at my heart
I really felt this. I feel like my friends have been ignoring me recently because apparently I’m annoying. I tell them about it and they just say “well it must be in your head because *I* don’t see that”. I just agree and flash a smile but really I’m worried and hurting inside. I’m not even close to being nearly attractive enough to be in a relationship, and everyday I’m not in a relationship I stare at myself in the mirror for another minute longer analyzing every bit of myself down to the bone and hating everything I see. Wondering why I had to be born like this. Why I had to be a mess that no one wants. Just wanting to be someone else. Just wanting *someone*. My love language is touch. I just want someone to hold and confine in. Someone that I can tell my deepest problems and they will actually listen and care. I don’t know if I’m just talking to a wall or rambling, but I hope I got my point across
2:13 just hits different.
so (my interpretation) is that its like when everyone has that point when they say "and when i was at my lowest ___ came and saved me" but when your at your lowest, no ones there but yourself and it just drives you deeper into that hole of "nobody care/is there for me/ect". i'd know since i've been there when i helped people but then no one was there for me except myself. its real rough but i hope your doing better now
I think the thing I picked up on the most and relate to the most is well, the turning off the notification, the declining the calls, the acts of self isolation all together. I crave and want to have that mutual understanding with a person romantically or not but just _someone_ ... it’s tough, it’s a self sabotaging cycle...
In the end it's not like I don't have anyone. It's like I'm the pushing everyone away. You did a good job with getting your feelings through with this animatic, I hope you feel better
This is sooo good, didn't expect to relate to a recommended video but life is full of surprises. Love you work❤❤
Honestly relate to this in a way.
For me, it’s me not wanting the support and such, but I also do. Because I want to feel wanted.
Kiyomi
Sorry I haven’t been responding, I’ve been really depressed and just in a bad place.
“Oof” “Mood haha” “Saaaaame lmao”
I would recommend at least saying what's going on because from the other side, we, the person who gets text messages have no idea what's going on with no response at all.
Lmao ME toooooo I feel mega depressed as well!!! bruh XD
The last part where the "nobody" part sounded fainter and fainter hit really different cuz like sometimes i get to the worst point where i just delete all of socials like instragram and when someone tries to check on me or start a convo i just don't have the enough energy to reply nor even hold the convo.... tbh sometimes i actually wish to delete my all my of socials, cut everyone off and just go somewhere quieter cuz everything is getting too tiring for me
Whoof. that was incredible. such a strong, powerful way to express ones-self. It tells you everything through not just tone and vocals, which, mitski is near PERFECT with, it was also the strong, simple visuals. Feelings you can't describe, but can very obviously feel. Feelings that can only really be shown, or felt. Beyond the ability of most single-media works, like music, art, or food even. And even better, it's Mitski. TLDR: it makes you feel feels
0:29 beautiful vent art, heart wrenching and beautiful. but i couldn’t help but notice splatoon immediately with my splat ridden brain
Alright maybe this is weird but I'm kinda glad it's not one of those animatics that ends on a happy note. Of course I hope you the creator and you who is maybe reading this are doing better. I hope things are looking up for you.
For me personally who isn't quite there yet it just felt mocking to see things "get better" in some of these. Like they could all do it, why couldn't I? So thank you, creator, so much for making a video that makes me feel a little less alone in not being okay. For those of you who are doing better, be proud of your progress! And for those like me who are still finding their way, I'm sure there's a light at the end for all of us and we'll get there in time. :)
damn i almost cried watching this it’s so raw
Just venting :'<
I've been having friend problems for my whole life. When I was on 2nd grade, my family moved across the country and I had to leave all my old friends. I didn't think much of it, but now I sometimes wonder, would it be different right now if we never moved?
I was so alone in middle school, and I thought high school would be my savior. And it was, at first.
I made new friends and we got along very well. We spent late nights chatting together on discord, and played on my minecraft realm.
But it was too good to last.
Slowly, people got bored of the server. Late night calls stopped.
Messaging each other got rarer everyday.
I tried to ask people to hang out, a massive step for anxious me. I tried many times. But nobody ever came.
Covid cases got rarer on my hometown, and we returned to school. I was very anxious about it. It was fine, until I realized that my friends had made new friends while our chats had ended.
Of course I'm happy for them. Right?
Right...?
I tried asking them if I could join their new discord server.
They said "sorry, it's just that, uuuhhh, our friends don't really know you yet..."
I- I should be happy that my friends are happy. But, god, I'm so lonely. I can't help it, I try too hard to get people to like me, and think that we have a deeper connection than we actually do. And then I find out, they have other best friends, and I'm just a friend.
I have such a hard time making friends because of my anxiety.
I try my best, I really do.
But still...
Nobody wants me.
yo ive been having those too T_T i kinda hope high school will be my saviour. would u wanna be friends on discord and play mc?
hi.. ive been having these for like, my life since middle school lol. same, when i moved away from my only two best friends, i didnt think so much of it because i could still contact them on my phone, but.. i felt like my very close friend is slowly getting to know and befriend a lot of people and forgetting about me. actually, one of my best friends doesn’t contact me anymore. neither do i contact her.. i am so bad at talking to people that when i didnt really have anymore things to text with my closest friend, and we’re like slowly getting distant from each other, my social anxiety got worse. i feel like i can’t even talk to my only friends anymore. and now, since my social anxiety and insecurities are slowly controlling me, i feel like i’ll actually lose them. i have never felt this lonely in my entire life.
sorry- i kinda ranted.
Hey friend, I have fairly bad social anxiety and anxiety, too, and spent a lot of time in highschool feeling sad that I didn't have a group of friends. Not all people are meant to have a group of friends and it's not something to be ashamed of. I have a friend here and a friend there and over yonder, all different types of people, all different conversation topics happening. Out of highschool, I have noticed the lack of social structure school gives you has made socializing harder. Before last year, I wasn't able to say yes to hanging out with people, and I'm a people pleaser who hates saying no, so sometimes I would run into full day anxiety attacks just trying to figure out how to say 'no, sorry, not today'
I guess to encompass all of this, it takes time to break out of your shell and consistency to feel comfortable doing that. It takes time meeting the right people. I've made many friends, I've kept very few of them. That's fine, it takes time to find the right people for you to be around. It's a learning process, so don't ridicule yourself or feel ashamed that you can't do it just yet, focus on how you're feeling, why you feel you can't do something right now and try to learn how you overcome those feelings. There are people out there, many, and you have so many years to spend meeting them
Man I feel you same thing is happening to me .... The friends I thought were most dear to me .....we don't talk that much anymore, the chats are dry and nobody cares to say 'hi' or 'how are you ' I'm always the one to start a conversation but the conversation doesn't last that long. Never felt this lonely before.
@@tobiyouu idk if this will help since I don’t know ur friend personally. For a few months I’ve been arguing with my best friend (I’ve been friends with her for ten years). Last two weeks ago she came clean mid-heated argument and mentioned the fact that she felt so out of place in our friend group and that she felt so out of touch to the point she didn’t know what to tell us everytime she wanted to text us.
Since you do realize you’re getting distant with your friends, there’s still a chance saving those friendships if you’re actually willing to. Be straightforward with them and ask them if they’re still willing to stay with you (it can’t be one-sided after all), and make an effort to try and talk to them. That’s what I did with my said best friend and now we keep in touch like in the old days. Anyways just a piece of advice. But there are of course times when friends drift away from you due to major differences. It happens.
And don’t let your insecurities stop you from making new friends. And speaking from personal experiences, I think it’s best to figure out where your insecurity stems from and what you are actually feeling since itll also help you figure out how to overcome said insecurities. For example, I was insecure of my physical looks and I had to stop scrolling through social media for a long time and stop comparing myself to others. I eventually learned to accept that my body is different from everyone else. I also used to stop making friends altogether since I felt out of place and felt more comfort in isolation, but it took me a few years to finally stop using that mindset and tried to talk to people even if we only had one thing in common (while of course still spending most of my time alone). It helped me become a bit more confident, and itll prolly do the same to u. You’ll eventually find the people you can vibe with, just takes time.
I used to do alot of what's going on in this video, and I still do. The only difference is that I'm getting more sleep, which is definitely a start. I haven't gone far, but I'm still proud of myself and I'm hoping I can continue the way I'm going without relapsing.
3 years later, and the overall traction on this vid is gone. So im just gonna leave this random comment here for myself. Idk
Lol I added a lot of references to the quarantine bc thats when I ACTUALLY decided to work on this video, but the concept i came up with way before. A lot of the feelings depicted was just.. me in everyday life being avoidant and stupid and cowardly and constantly hating myself. And I’m still like that now which sucks but I’ve been working on it and that effort alone is enough to make me feel a little better
There are always more chances, until there aren't. Take them.
this is honestly really sad and the animation is amazing. keep up the good work! I promise to everyone reading this that things will get better
i feel this too much haha, i want to reach out to ppl but i know they're busy or too lazy to talk. but hey im somebody so if you have smthn you wanna dump i'll listen, i wont judge
also i see that sweet tgcf content on your channel Xie Lian is such a beAN
Nice to know someone sympathises with me haha.. thanks for ur kind comment (and also I’m glad u enjoy my mxtx stuff 💖)
“You can have a lot of friends and people who support you, but yet you can still feel alone.”
This is completely reflecting my emotions and how I feel, this is the one thing that had made me let out my emotions and cry for once. I want to thank you for that
I- literally- This happened, and happens to me. Everything on the video is something I been through-- _and it makes me wanna cry---_ weird I love this
this legit gave me chills. i hope youre doing okay
im crying actually why is this so relatable
I felt this… and it hurt so bad… you did a great job on it tho❤️
How did I not stumble upon this last year? This literally shows everything that I've been through during the quarantine. Though seeing this now made me realize that I'm in a much better place mentally than I was last year. So, thank you very much! This is an amazing animatic that conveyed many people's feelings thoroughly, you are very talented!
How interesting there are many people like this but we are so away without knowing they exist, like just think about how it could be an amazing friendship (idk if that makes sense lol)
2:30
The skin walker coming to steal your foreskin at night be like.
*It’s like after a while of being alone- you start shutting out... Bc it’s easier that way*
When the girl held her own hand I started to cry, I sleep like that holding my own hand.
this hits hard at 3am crying
go to sleep crying to smile the next day
i relate so hard, i want to interact with my friends but at the same time i ignore my notifications for reasons i don't even know myself, and i fill the human-contact-hungry void with fiction. yet i still say i'm lonely.
hey! look over here.
*it’s ok to cry. if you need to cry, let it out my friend. it’s not good to hold your emotions in. let your feelings out, mk? ily 💛*
this video means the world to me. it's so therapeutic and i love it so much
Why does this animation and song perfectly describes how my loneliness feels?
Dude I’m crying this is so good you really captured an emotion. Not sure what it is but I sure do feel it
Ngl relate to this a lot especially because of COVID and quarantine. I feel like those who graduated 2020 and were suddenly ripped of all socialization may be feeling like this. At least I am even now. Good to know I’m not the only one who feels this way tho :)
1:30 to 1:38 just explains my fears in a nutshell in just 8 seconds
I'm so sorry for everything that has gone wrong for anyone reading this! The universe loves you! I love you! We all love and care about you! No matter how alone you feel there will always be someone who cares about you.
I’m crying but also the lil running cycle animation is so cute
Honestly felt this on a personal level, I just want somebody. y'know?..
this 3 minute animatic did more to talk about pandemic depression than the entirety of bo burnham's 1.5 hour special
