People are too tired trying to make ends meet to go out and be social not to mention it costs money. I think being overworked and underpaid is killing people and is an epidemic. People do not have time to even enjoy a hobby. We are a society of hyper individualism.
A someone who works works and works and still struggling to pay rent. I can relate to what you are saying. Also we live in different times too. With all the craziness happening with shootings,fentanyl and so on is so hard to trust people. Having a pet and being with love ones is the best cure for loneliness ❤

As a hotel pro for 25+ years, I have managed hotels from the Florida coast to the Colorado Front Range. I have accumulated a lifetime's experience of dealing with the public in general. We have developed a toxic society that serves the narcissists at the expense of tolerant personalities, and the narcissists are in control now. I'm retired now, never going to work with the public again. Best of luck to the rest of you.
Very true. This system rewards awful behavior and punishes good behavior. The psychopaths are living like kings while good decent people struggle to survive.
Thank you for stating this. You are right, today's world serves cluster B personalities at the expense of us healthy personalities which is abuse, neglectful and isolating.
Number 1. Social Media Number 2. Narcissism That's why having God in your life is so important to help us. Besides what I posted above we are dealing with so many other things that has even separated families and even people in church. It's very BAD. To help read the Holy Bible and what I do pray the Holy Rosary. There also apps to help like Hallow app. We are living in very big different times.
It’s funny how much energy and care I give my coworkers. People call or text and I lend an ear but none of them ever do so for me. I reverted back to isolation recently and nobody has reached out. I’m working out and walking but I have things I can’t handle myself
After my wife of 30yrs died, I grieved and lived in utter loneliness for 3yrs. Most of my friends are dead to. Now after 7yrs I am still alone but happy. I try to make the best of everything at 76yrs old. I must endeavor to persevere!
Cell phones and social media ruined our body's needs for personal connections. We've replaced it with connecting to youtubers/influencers that don't even know we exist.
I hate that so many people say that they're lonely, but when I ask them if they want to do something like go for a walk with me, or go out for coffee with me, they say they'd rather stay inside scrolling through Instagram looking at people who have (seemingly) better lives than them.
This isn't about being alone this is about loneliness. You can be lonely around people, and you can be completely satisfied being alone. Two different things. I love aloneness!! I often go three weeks or more without talking to, or seeing another person. I'm not lonely… I'm alone… and I love it!!!
If your feeling lonely, the message your mind is trying to tell you, is that you need to connect with someone, or a group of people. Nobody is an island.
Every human being is an island to some extent, it's just up to each and every one of us to do what we can to build bridges and venture out to others to form bonds. The ease with which this used to be possible in the past has rapidly diminished with the ephemeral and temporary nature of relationships these days which is a consequence of the changes society has gone through, in part, because of the rise of social media and the individualism that followed.
I live in London, UK and find most friendship superficial and fleeting, think its the "me me me" world we live in nowadays; the sad reality is if everyone else is like that you have to be like that too
The number of people having to end up making ends meet because of their last experience shows that we are so far from learning from each other. I empathized with those who are struggling with loneliness we did not come to this planet alone we should help each other.
This is truly an environment issue, few reasons to walk around, car based society, not a lot of places or reasons to meet new people. There are plenty of ways we can address this and a fair amount aren't even that hard to do. Some may blame technology but I've made quite a lot of friends from tech.
Naw the people to blame are those at the top. They make life miserable for the vast majority because of greed. For what purpose does any individual need billions? So many people are overworked and over stressed. We just want to enjoy life and the rich drain us of vitality.
You took away our community and society through fear, division, and making everything about money and buying instead of spending time with others. Of course we have all wound up alone.
Everybody is paranoid in my neighborhood and constantly calling the cops for any reason. It's really annoying. Everybody is a bunch of workaholics too. All of my friends left the city to make more money somewhere else.
@@Unpopular_0pinion I guess there are a lot of reasons. We have technology that keeps us from having to interact with real humans. We have remote offices, remote classrooms, online retail, even self checkout lanes. We had a pandemic that hung around a long time. I think the way it kept cycling again and again, eventually led us to just accept life in quarantine. For me though it started a long time ago. I got rejected and outcast and I was always pretty sensitive. So I've been living this way for a long time. The upside is, its brought me close to God. So he even used all these things for my good. What about you what do you think?
Conservative or liberal. This can hit home to anyone. But I have to say I'm past the point of loneliness which means I'm not going to die from it lol.

People have been becoming more antisocial for several years. We failed to teach people social media and remote work isn’t a replacement for face-to-face connection. It is extremely more concerning for millennials and younger gens.
I honestly try to talk to people and to be honest im tired of it. I make friends with strangers but people can't be bothered. It's the same thing in London England. In Dallas Texas they are a bit more friendly in San Diego California people seem happy. I now embrace it and felt comfortable during covid and I talk to God often and his son Jesus Christ. God is a good friend
While they're partially right they're not absolutely right a lot of people are very happy being alone you can be alone and still be very happy as long as you live a productive life and stay busy
I wish they can measure unemployment, disposable income and/or low income (maybe below state and/or federal poverty limits). Is hard for an unemployed and/or person living below poverty to socialize because it takes money. Transportation costs, party and get together expenses, gifts, social events, gym memberships, personal training, dining, amusement parks, or any private places where there are people generally cost admission and other form of billing. Conversely, someone with a lot of income and/or wealth can choose to stay home to perhaps attend more prestigious social events and/or other reasons. In this case this person can choose, the opposite of loneliness because of poverty. ---As for public libraries, I do not know. Many of our experiences with public librarians are bad. Almost all the time I use self-service and query my own search to holding the materials, but they just love to waste taxpayers time and do simple queries again, many times they do not check in the items meaning you have to do a controlled check-in with return receipts. The items are suddenly on the shelf and I incur junk fees. Many times, the items get lost in transit also. If anything, there should be a place where there are taxpayers only where they can socialize with themselves no with arrogant public employees. These public employees many times think they own the place in fact they don’t. Basically, the experience of going to public libraries is so bad that we still prefer checking out virtually to boycott these unpleasant and government waste human interactions. -Another thing too is this whole thing of listening… When someone states their unsolvable problems such as poverty and someone just listens sometimes it is actually worse because now is one more person that knows about it and there’s still no solution. Many people exploit on the poor they are known as gangsters, drug dealers, con artists, bottom feeders, to even people who dislike to poor and/or other similar characteristics. Even coworkers will ‘backstab’ you by broadcasting these problems to other coworkers, supervisor and/or managers when it is not necessary. Lost of trust. Sometimes, they do this because they want your position and/or sees you as a treat their job security.
I was lonely for years but then used my local planet fitness and library to meet people. The moment I went around introducing myself, I made friends instantly. These places are opened to meeting new people. I’ve had theses friends for months to years now and we meet up at the planet fitness or library several times a week to engage and interact. It’s great.

What will you set out to achieve or change before you die?
A good way to solve loneliness is to simply not make our cities car dependent. If we make walkable cities that do not require a car to do your day-to-day activities, people will hang out more and people will not be spread apart.
3rd world countries have walkable cities and neighborhoods. If you stand outside your house for 5 minutes you will see dozens of people walk by, this includes kids, adults, and elderly.
I’m an 80s baby and lived in the city all my life. The city was car dependent back then. And loneliness wasn’t a problem until people became dependent on their cell phones AirPods and social media. You can walk around the city all you want and people will be walking with ear phones in their ears and phones in their hands and still not interacting with one another.
Lucky to have a underground ATV hotspot where I've been meeting like minded people and we ride ATVs all day on days off. Problem is, riding ATVs in my state is illegal so we take the chance of fines and impoundedment but its all we got. Our riding spot has been in the news lol. Just not allowed to have fun anymore.
I am not an expert. But it is better to say nothing than have psychological warfare in our heads because of interfering. Living pious life is the only way. Trust me that way time will be given to find forgiveness in subject's inner heart.
Yeah I’ve not had any actual real friendships for a long time. Everyone has moved away and I have my husband and coworkers and adult son and no one else.
Walked out this morning I don't believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore Seems I'm not alone in being alone A hundred billion castaways looking for a home
If we're going to really talk about this stuff and fix the problem of loneliness we first need a platform that will allow us to voice our issues without them being erased. . . I wrote an entire paragraph about my experience and then I try to go back to the comment and it's gone. Very triggering.. . I said nothing gross or ugly and my comment was removed. I just don't understand.
I've been forced into isolation and loneliness for 8 years caused by coercive control being inflicted upon me by CEO Gail Beadroux of Elevance Health formerly Anthem Inc.
I put so much effort into making myself an individual that it's impossible for me to connect with anyone. Anyone wanna gush about modernist classical music and james bond films?
I absolutely disagree that loneliness will effect you negatively! Strong minded people don’t need others to be around more people bring more problems and remember it’s the people that hurts people not animals or aliens 👽
It's all my fault. I figured out the solution to loneliness 40 years ago, a scientific breakthrough, and didn't publish: The way to get past our nation's hangup on looks, etc., is for us to realize there is usually an exceptional, extraordinary, mutual appreciation of the way the other's mind works between people of birthdays about 6 months apart. That provides basis for coupling along with good friendships. Why is birthday such a big deal? Birthday is a fundamental dimension, phase, of the annual cycle of daily levels of arriving solar energy in our environment, that human infants have evolved to respond to with systematic neural networking patterns. What is sorely needed are social forms providing opportunity for people of appropriate "complementary" birthdays to meet. For starters, tho, just mentioning your birthday on your facebook page and requesting matches of the appropriate birthday range to contact you might be of benefit to form friendships as well as coupling.
The plandemic caused 0 change to my social life. I was isolated then and I’m isolated now. The only thing this video showed was that I get to die early for being a sperg. Hooray!
But we also want human companionship that is honest, even with God I get very sad no girl likes me and everytime I try it ends in failure and I'm just being nice and attempting to make conversation. Or they do like me somewhat but them never respond to the phone or texts. I'm happy to have God but all my life I needed and wanted human companionship. A young woman to love and take care of and is there fir me when I'm all broken inside 💔
Society is ruined forever, women will mostly lie and not tell you straight up that they aren't interested, and the whole issue with income and hyper individuality. I just want an honest woman that isn't so self focused, that doesn't care if you have the deepest wallet or the perfect look, because I don't think that way. I would be honest and loving only for it not to be worth it to so many 😭😭😭 I've literally never had a girlfriend and I'm 20 years old never even got a kiss in that way before and I crave it it hurts me so much that I haven't done these things and so many are and I makes me mad and jealous, what do they have that I don't, how are they so lucky. I can't tell you how many times I've been at parties and see young couples dancing and in love, it ruins the party and I feel like going home, or if it's at home, go to bed. 💔🥺😭
BS, even those who are ok with being alone can often feel lonely. There is no benefit to society when you stigmatize lonely people as weak. That's how you create resentment and further isolation
In reality, lonely men who work through loneliness themselves become stronger and often find what truly makes them happy in life. You get the benefit of not relying on other people for your own happiness. I'm far from concerned with loneliness in women after the "KILL ALL MEN" movement became mainstream, THAT is resentment and THAT is what is causing this isolation to begin with.
I work on a major hospital in my city and do intense ER shifts every other weekend. I DO CHERISH my time being alone at home and recharge from all the madness I face at work. I probably need a cat to smack me across the face when I snore, the last one I baby sat was very good at it. Miss you lots señor Vincent!

Im sad and alone my wife died wishing someone was there for me to talk to a nice lady to talk to and hug me 😢😢
A good way to solve loneliness is to simply not make our cities car dependent. If we make walkable cities that do not require a car to do your day-to-day activities, people will hang out more and people will not be spread apart.
3rd world countries have walkable cities and neighborhoods. If you stand outside your house for 5 minutes you will see dozens of people walk by, this includes kids, adults, and elderly.
@@kevinjeter724 Not Just 3rd world countries dude🤦🏽♀️ Other developed nations have walkable cities. Like Europe,Canada and Australia!
I’m an 80s baby and lived in the city all my life. The city was car dependent back then. And loneliness wasn’t a problem until people became dependent on their cell phones AirPods and social media. You can walk around the city all you want and people will be walking with ear phones in their ears and phones in their hands and still not interacting with one another.
Its not cars, its social media
@@lifelive-gr1wrI didn't have a cellphone till I was 18 and I still felt isolated.
Lucky to have a underground ATV hotspot where I've been meeting like minded people and we ride ATVs all day on days off. Problem is, riding ATVs in my state is illegal so we take the chance of fines and impoundedment but its all we got. Our riding spot has been in the news lol. Just not allowed to have fun anymore.
Is the “connection to fitting in and belonging” actually causing isolation and loneliness to be our new brave environment?
All I can say is that this is very, very real for me and it sucks!
I have written a book “Smartphones Don’t Give Hugs “ that provides some good insight and guidance.
I am not an expert. But it is better to say nothing than have psychological warfare in our heads because of interfering.
Living pious life is the only way. Trust me that way time will be given to find forgiveness in subject's inner heart.
Loneliness is the LEAST of our CONCERNS. P OFF doc! America is fd UP!
i find myself crying while watching this
Everybody fake so no duhh I rather be alone than get trapped
Yeah I’ve not had any actual real friendships for a long time. Everyone has moved away and I have my husband and coworkers and adult son and no one else.
Walked out this morning I don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone in being alone
A hundred billion castaways looking for a home
If we're going to really talk about this stuff and fix the problem of loneliness we first need a platform that will allow us to voice our issues without them being erased. . . I wrote an entire paragraph about my experience and then I try to go back to the comment and it's gone. Very triggering..
. I said nothing gross or ugly and my comment was removed. I just don't understand.
I used to be a people person until I got around people! I have a select few that I interact and spend time with, but the rest I try to avoid.
I've been forced into isolation and loneliness for 8 years caused by coercive control being inflicted upon me by CEO Gail Beadroux of Elevance Health formerly Anthem Inc.
In the last days, people’s love will wax cold.
I put so much effort into making myself an individual that it's impossible for me to connect with anyone.
Anyone wanna gush about modernist classical music and james bond films?
I absolutely disagree that loneliness will effect you negatively! Strong minded people don’t need others to be around more people bring more problems and remember it’s the people that hurts people not animals or aliens 👽
That's wrong, it's all about surrounding yourself with positive people.
That’s being alone. Loneliness is not the same thing.
Heart disease is a badge of honor
Keep telling yourself that.
you can thank the single mothers raising their daughters to be monsters for that one
Seems like lonliness is about as deadly as the clot shots. Go figure. 🤷🏼♂️
It's all my fault. I figured out the solution to loneliness 40 years ago, a scientific breakthrough, and didn't publish: The way to get past our nation's hangup on looks, etc., is for us to realize there is usually an exceptional, extraordinary, mutual appreciation of the way the other's mind works between people of birthdays about 6 months apart. That provides basis for coupling along with good friendships. Why is birthday such a big deal? Birthday is a fundamental dimension, phase, of the annual cycle of daily levels of arriving solar energy in our environment, that human infants have evolved to respond to with systematic neural networking patterns. What is sorely needed are social forms providing opportunity for people of appropriate "complementary" birthdays to meet. For starters, tho, just mentioning your birthday on your facebook page and requesting matches of the appropriate birthday range to contact you might be of benefit to form friendships as well as coupling.
An additional dimension to the loneliness problem is our confused culture's notions of male and female.
Yes
Oh I wonder why Mr gov official.....
The plandemic caused 0 change to my social life. I was isolated then and I’m isolated now. The only thing this video showed was that I get to die early for being a sperg. Hooray!
Get a dog
Western society. Japan and South Korea, same problems
🇨🇦 Where are the old malls we went to before high school & bars/pubs after work? Can anyone announce daily meetups at those places?
Malls are Gone now.
Pick a hobby that you like, don't get lonesome.
Has to be a female. No concept of loneliness.
I'm always lonely for two years and I want to stop it.
Go have fun buddy. Talk to strangers.
@@Hardawayfits
> Talk to 2 stranger I met at the hood
> Got robbed instead
So true
Uk is the same
You are not alone- God is all around us and in us if you receive Him 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
But we also want human companionship that is honest, even with God I get very sad no girl likes me and everytime I try it ends in failure and I'm just being nice and attempting to make conversation.
Or they do like me somewhat but them never respond to the phone or texts. I'm happy to have God but all my life I needed and wanted human companionship. A young woman to love and take care of and is there fir me when I'm all broken inside 💔
#ZatzmanSportsplex a local cultural solution
Wanna help someone? Just listen. Maybe you need to do more after that, but this is real.
Two words: antisocial media.
you ll never fixed it you had always being alone till the start
0:25 missed opportunity for a Billy Joel reference
Society is ruined forever, women will mostly lie and not tell you straight up that they aren't interested, and the whole issue with income and hyper individuality.
I just want an honest woman that isn't so self focused, that doesn't care if you have the deepest wallet or the perfect look, because I don't think that way.
I would be honest and loving only for it not to be worth it to so many 😭😭😭
I've literally never had a girlfriend and I'm 20 years old never even got a kiss in that way before and I crave it it hurts me so much that I haven't done these things and so many are and I makes me mad and jealous, what do they have that I don't, how are they so lucky.
I can't tell you how many times I've been at parties and see young couples dancing and in love, it ruins the party and I feel like going home, or if it's at home, go to bed. 💔🥺😭
Dude have you ever considered a woman as something other than your mom or a potential love intrest
after locking people inside their houses for 2 years wtf did you expect
This was an issue well before COVID
He’s a political chess piece, he can’t be trusted.
This is not a new phenomena.
Aww....boys want their MOMMAS....
A lockdown should solve the issue. Quick, before more people become lonely.
wow, dr. jeff gardere used to be a fix on the ricki lake show???
Loneliness only effects the weak minded.
BS, even those who are ok with being alone can often feel lonely. There is no benefit to society when you stigmatize lonely people as weak. That's how you create resentment and further isolation
In reality, lonely men who work through loneliness themselves become stronger and often find what truly makes them happy in life. You get the benefit of not relying on other people for your own happiness. I'm far from concerned with loneliness in women after the "KILL ALL MEN" movement became mainstream, THAT is resentment and THAT is what is causing this isolation to begin with.
you; do that
Oh no im a lonely smoker🇺🇸life goes on.
Feminism (I don't need no man( and capitalism (low pay for all). Bad combo
Start looking at “loneliness is only in the mind of a person “. In reality there are enough necessity in it. You just need to look both sides, or not?
@Azuri e sounds quite vampiristic.
I agree.
I work on a major hospital in my city and do intense ER shifts every other weekend. I DO CHERISH my time being alone at home and recharge from all the madness I face at work. I probably need a cat to smack me across the face when I snore, the last one I baby sat was very good at it. Miss you lots señor Vincent!
