      And when we ask for help it's annoying, or whiny, or "dude get a grip, I'm trying to live my life, how about you try and live yours" bro no one truly actualy deep down cares. Everyone wants to just live their own lives, at arms length from even their closest loved one. "God damn, uncle Tim is really acting up. Dude has fucking issues lol, leave me out of it" and then uncle Tim is dead.

    In 1998, I was 12, my brother 15. January 19th, he committed suicide with a gunshot to the head. I came home from school, and was the first responder to the aftermath at the foot of our dining room table. We had the best childhood, best parents, he was well respected, tons of friends and an impressive athlete in school. To say the entire city was in shock would be an understatement. I was so young, I didnt even fathom the idea that you could end your own life, so I thought he was cleaning the gun and it had a misfire. His shotgun was laying beside him, but he used a revolver. When I learned that he had left a note, my entire world changed that day. He was my only sibling, and we loved each other hard. I have been a recluse for 15 years, living alone, barely going out, but holding my own with a full time job and making solid income. I have been single since 2005, not even dated. I did all that in middle/high school. Never turned to drugs, drink maybe twice a year. Life is crazy man, and I dont allow many people into mine these days.

    My oldest son decided to commit suicide. He planned it, for as much as a year ahead. He tried to be no nuisance, gave away his few belongings to others. He had health problems, illegal immigration had made it impossible to have hope of survivable finances. It turns out that a lot of young men, teens to around 27, commit suicide when they feel there is no way to have a decent life...a workable job, a chance to marry and have a family, etc.

    I lost my best friend of over 20 years to suicide last year. When people say it is because of mental illness, I disagree. I think that's just an easy way for people to justify it. He was the best person I've ever known, incredibly smart with a great job. Would have done anything for anyone. Was ALWAYS nice never not once saw a mean bone in his body. Society's judgment and disrespect can push someone to give up. It's hard to understand why people can't just be kind and respectful instead of being so judgmental and mean. Then laugh and make fun of people for no valid reason. Some people assume they know everything about someone they've barely spent any time with. To me, this constant need to put others down and people gossiping about others is what’s really mental. If someone has harmed others and should be in prison, that's different. But there's no excuse for treating innocent people badly just because of how they look, what they wear, or because someone is different than you. I've seen many suicides in recent years, and society keeps making excuses for it. Just be nice to people-is it really that damn hard!? Stop acting like people have done something terrible to you when they haven't. Imagine how the world probably would have been if everyone was kind to eachother and there wasn't evil, judgemental, and greedy people in the world. Majority of people don't care about anyone or anything but literally theirselves and thats it.

    The ugly truth that people need to accept is that not every life is worth living. People who isolate themselves do it because they are fully aware that they are the only ones who can understand themselves, the only ones who care about themselves and the only ones who truly know what's best for themselves. It's true that the world doesn't owe you anything, but you don't owe anything to the world either. It's your life, and if you decide that it's not worth continuing, that should be your decision alone. I'm sorry that your neighbor had to live like that, but at the same time I'm happy for him that he finally found peace.

I recommend volunteering at a hospital or at a dog or animal shelter. Helping other will help you see peoples struggle to survive and people that have it worse than you do. Break away from the shyness , and don't be afraid to start comversations with people. Some people may not show interest bevause they have too much on their minds but some people will love to share what is on their mind with you to get your opinion. The person struggling may also help people who seem like they are happy on the out side but do have some struggle going on in their life. 🫶

      Yep, suicide statistics skew heavily towards men and a lot of women love to say that it's because testosterone makes them more likely to use more lethal methods like a gun. No. Life is harder for men on average. There is way more responsibility on our shoulders and we have to earn our social capital whereas women get cared for and protected by default.

      Yeee! Just make sure it’s somewhat genuine so that he doesn’t feel like he’s being patronized. This could end up being just as bad. Their hyper-receptivity due to limited contact could process the social engagement as being bullied or patronized. I used to think they all need to toughen up but the reality is that after working in social services for 20 years, I have learned that a huge amount of our social communication and feeling is a reflexive endeavor that can sometimes defy the obvious.

    Not a suicide but 3 years ago I had a friend who drowned in a river accident. My friend group pretty much broke apart after his death. It was like a double whammy loss. Not only did we lose a good friend, no one wanted to hang out again or float the river or play disk golf, it just destroyed the whole vibe. Things can radically change over night. You can't take anything for granted. People change after tragedies. I'm assuming my other friend doesn't want to do those activities anymore because they probably remind him of his brother, that's gotta be really painful.

I’m in a shaky relationship with my girlfriend who I can tell longs to be in a different state with her family, so the writing is on the wall. The only joy I used to feel was from feeding people (homemade pizza from a woodfired oven was my passion that I wanted to build a business on), but my desires have vanished. Nothing has brought me joy in recent years and I’ve failed others on bringing joy to them, something I used to have the energy to do. I spend many evenings staring at the ceiling. I’m physically alive but I’m dead inside.

      Hang in there bro I’ve been there with the H, i know everyone says this and it’s cliche as hell and i, myself, didn’t believe it at all whenever i’d hear it but it seriously really really does get so much better on the others side of withdrawal, like it ofc sucks for a bit and then it’s kinda meh for a while but eventually it seriously really gets great - like sobriety i mean.
      if i can give any advice i would say try doing whatever exercise you can, even if it’s just like no more than 2 pushups at first just whatever you can, get in the habit of doing that every day then eventually up it to more pushups then eventually add sit-ups and then eventually other stuff too - more important than the quantity of exercise is the regularity and building it up into a daily habit - that helped me a ton bc eventually if u have an addictive personality like i do then you’ll get addicted to the endorphins from exercise which straight up feels like a natural high except it’s good for you obv
      and also i don’t wanna really heavily push a drug as the solution when the problem is already drugs but i think weed definitely helped me get off the opiates, i never really smoked before but just using that to get thru the withdrawals until my brain started to normalize from the lack of opiates did help. eventually i realized i had started overdoing the weed too and had to cut back on that but i didn’t worry about that until well after the opiate withdrawals were over. as a temporary bridge to go from opiates to no opiates it absolutely helped me, like from bad drug -> not as bad drug -> eventually no drugs, maybe it can help u too

I also couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel but today I see myself as a survivor. Try watching UA-cam videos from therapists about the things your feeling and experiencing if you can't get therapy. It's normal to feel this way but these feelings of shame can also lie to us and make us feel that we aren't enough. I wish you all the best in your life ❤.

There is a saying that a human can only find about 2 real friends in his life, and I absolutely agree with that. Many people call themselves friends, but how many would risk their health to save you? So a personal relationship with Jesus is the best thing you can do, because he got put on the cross for us and because of us. Thats a friend that stays forever 😊

      @@marcK599. dating is not a priority as it seems like it is for men. We value deep bonding in general and to be understood. In relationships as women we don’t necessarily feel understood emotionally nor fulfilled since men are taught not to suppress their emotions. There isn’t a mutual understanding which leaves us feeling very alone in a relationship. What’s the point of it after you go through it many times. We eventually give up on it since no human wants to keep potentially opening their self up to more pain. It’s like taking a chance and entering a room with 1000 snakes but some of them are not poisonous. Also getting cheated on, betrayal is the worst kind of pain to us as well.
      Then we called emotional and over dramatic just for having these emotions. Making it feel unsafe to be open anymore. Also as a women we go through a lot of manipulation from men just so they can get in our pants. That’s very exhausting, feeling that preying energy all of the time to be used as a object. So the grass isn’t really greener on the other side as you may think. The endless shaming and manipulation has done too much damage to being able to trust now.

    I realized recently that for men ... intimacy is a NEED. It's not a want. It's a need just like food, water, and shelter. It's in our DNA and we die inside without it. Unlike women, however, it's up to us to pursue. Love doesn't just fall in our laps. It's something we have to earn. The problem is that ... men are expected to pursue but we're also demonized for doing so. We get told we're creeps, so it's a lose-lose, shitty deal.
    Admitting that we need intimacy goes against what we were taught as boys, that we are weak for expressing our needs. It's all one big confusing contradiction which is why we choose to bottle it up, isolate and cope with drugs or porn, And then eventually, we kill ourselves.

      I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

      Someone does, a lot more than you think

    I am 54. Being alone. That's all I know. Every group and organization doesn't want anything to do with me. My family as well. My 4 ex-wives could only say one thing to me. Shut up. My neighbors and towns plus cities always treated me way worse than dirt. Military is a group thing. Really. I was in the PG war. Truck driver. Doing the majority of my runs by myself. Our planet is cold when it comes to talking to other people. Myself. I really enjoy being alone. I learned how to do everything. A 4 man job only done by myself. No fighting on how it should be done. If something goes wrong. I can only blame myself. I love being alone. It's not more stress. It's 100% less stress. I can go do whatever I want to without someone telling me no. I love it. Thanks everyone. Sad for those who take their own lives. Yet. People always do it to each other. Treating others as they don't exist. Yet. You can extremely learn more without them. Your knowledge and skills go through the roof.

      I totally understand. You are right, actually. However, it still sucks to feel how all you have done for society does not mean a damn thing to anybody. That is where suicide comes in. I was a truck driver for ten years. I was rarely home. Nobody gives a shit. Now I just want to be medicated and sleep.

      @curtis7599 I used to say. Go stand on a street corner. Town or city. Just stand and look. Try to find anyone who cares. For years. I would put comments of facts. To see if anyone cares or knows the truth. 99.99% of the world population doesn't care and doesn't want or comprehend the facts. There is the public who doesn't care. Then there is. The Elites and their employees that are scared if the public knows the facts and the truth. Again. Public doesn't care. Will never know the truth and facts. Never. Yet. The Elites and their employees are scared they will. That there. A proven fact. Make our planet IQ what?

    This is the first video I've ever seen . I've been in a rut for a while now. Isolated and just going nowhere quick. Your words hit me hard. Sometimes we need someone to just not sugar coat shit and tell you how it is. Im very glad I came across your channel. Thank you

    As men, we’re conditioned to tough it out. Don’t complain, total confidence.
    Then once you realize that’s bull, you’re left with years of pain and sometimes don’t know how to cope.
