Thank you

Superb! Would love to hear more like this!

Thanks for sharing your courageous video. We moved to North America almost 5 years ago and this feeling has been steadily growing. At first I thought it was just a symptom of our immigration journey and that it would subside as we “settle in”. I’m slowly discovering that it’s not improving and I need to do something about it. We’re quite remote currently (village of 3500 people) but in March we’ll be relocating to a city of 20k people, closer to the small group of friends we do have. I’m hopeful that this change will bring about a positive impact on this feeling of loneliness.

That was one of the bravest videos i have ever seen keep it up man. I think your next video should focus on something a bit more conversational

Amazing! I live in NZ. Good job! Just stumbled across your channel ❤

"Relax Piety." 😆

You are really good at self reflecting thats cool to see.

Lekker Piet! Die man in Spanje wat dapperder as ek is!

In the past when I was younger, I was faaaar more tanned than I am now (many years in the sun), so I was regularly mistaken as a Maori/New Zealander, given I live in Perth, Australia, and Maori regularly migrate here for work. I remember very clearly the evening I was working as a Bar Staff and a massive New Zealander greeted me and pulled me in for a Hongi... I was absolutely shocked, hahaha! I thought this massive guy was about to kiss me, hahaha! The explanation would have been nice. Seeing you in that very public space, ready to accomplish an incredibly brave task... I felt anxious just watching you... But when it happened, my face lit up with the biggest smile... Good on you! Also, loved hearing 'Alien Weaponry'. Surprised me in amongst the subdued backing track.

Mental health is so important. Just the fact you share it is already a good thing. Because we are men, there is often this social pression to stay strong and be perfect all the time, but the reality is that some of us are just alone and in pain. There are only few people ready to listen to us. What you are doing is in my opinion already a way to change this social barrier. Courage is the ability to face the fear, not to never experience it. So we can say that your video is an act of bravery

You are not alone in your loneliness. I am starting to accept that for a reason i dont yet understand a few of us are facing this next chapter very much alone. There is great soul growth in our own company without the distractions of the outside world and maybe thats what its about. Be grateful for fleeting moments of true connection even if its with a bird or dog. I find shallow interactions very tiring now. My tribe is small but i wait patiently to meet them. Until then i will enjoy the smile of a stranger and the faithfulness of my dog. Thanks for your authenticity and vulnerability..its truly one of the greatest traits and strengths in the human journey. I too am a stranger in a foreign land but without the beautiful sun of Spain. Its even harder in a dark grey cold environment. Try live in gratitude for the friends that are on their way... because energy creates our reality. Im working on this myself..its not easy . 😂 All the best

Have you tried to read the Bible? If not, don't knock it before you try it. There is great wisdom, enormous amount of history and who knows it may lead you somewhere unexpected and fill that void.

But seriously, there much better ways surely to connect with people and overcome loneliness. You don't need to make yourself get used to rejection by inviting it ( like trying to do a hongi when you're not in nz.) not everyone is an extrovert, so what? Find your people, even one or 2 friends is fine and better than none. Clearly, more of a conversation is needed here.

3:20 I can't believe you caught this interaction on camera. Hope they definitely go tomar por culo. Stay strong and thank you for sharing! Also, you have a new follow from a saffa in Asturias! Many people will find, appreciate, and relate to your content on a deeper level than you'd expect!

You’re a great storyteller and very “interesting” to listen to.. I know personally how hard it is to feel so alone but not feel able to go out or make connections with people, you’ve given me some much needed motivation today, thank you.

I feel you man... I feel you... It's hard to put yourself out there and expose yourself to the world and all its 'hurt'... I personally used to be very extroverted; I think partly because of my relationship with alcohol and the reduction of inhibitions it gave me... But then even in my younger years, I was always friendly and outgoing with everybody around me. Since quitting drinking and marijuana in the past several years, I've found myself shutting out a lot of the outside world, feeling like I have less to bring to the world now that I'm not as open and extroverted as I used to be, feeling more vulnerable to that 'hurt' now that I don't have that shield of 'numbness' that drinking and marijuana used to give me... I think part of the hesitation in returning to my more open nature is all the arguing, hatred and bickering I see on Social Media from around the world, it's almost like I don't want to let any of that in to my space; to let it tarnish the love and joy I feel with my closest loved ones... But I guess that doesn't mean that I can't start letting people immediately around me in to my life in different ways... I wish you luck on your journey of change

Please keep making videos like this its good for yourself and the world (I wanna keep hearing you speak bro)

Im from spain, keep trying reach others, your perspective may be unique but your feeling is shared. Good luck making friends here amigo💚⚡
