Trying to be friends with people is something i cant do. I either look down on people or think they're better than me. I feel I should be deeply sad but instead just feel like I'm existing in the worlds shittest themepark that i cant leave.

Yep, been dealing with and experiencing this for years. Went from an A and B student in high school to almost not graduating, dropped out of college because the loneliness was eating me alive. That was 20 years ago, and not much has changed. I've thrown my full focus elsewhere at times like in working out or hobbies or even work, but that never fills the void of wanting to be hugged or feeling human touch. I may feel fulfilled in other aspects in life, but the lack of physical and emotional connection is absolutely brutal.

I felt quiet lonely throughout my school experience. my freshman year at college (which was last year) brought me a lot of experiences, emotions, some great people. but the last 7 months or so I've been depressed and I lost touch with some people, nearly isolated myself. throughout this whole time I was aware of what was going on, so I just watched my life falling apart. my anxiety has become ridiculous, I often feel like the most hated person in a group, my insecurities have intensified greatly. it's so painful watching who I've become and noticing how nobody around me gives a damn about me. the contrast with the previous year feels so heavy. I live on my own, so when I return from uni, I end up completely alone with my thoughts. I wish I could say I'm self-sufficient, but I'm broken. I'm 19 and I really hope I'll be a much happier person in my 20s

I remember staying home by myself all the time watching tv and having pretend friends. My big sister was really hard on me because I wasn’t outgoing and out spoken like her and the rest of my family. My family would go places and leave me behind and it was hard being alone. I’m a fully grown woman now but at times it still is a struggle for me I still feel lonely, even if I’m around people.

If you can, just talk with someone, it doesn't have to be a professional, but just talking about it made me feel better so surely it will make you too, really, it sounds very repetitive but talking is the best and cheapest way to solve these things. And don't you dare to just ignore what you feel, or you may end up like me, emotionally numb, with bottled up emotions and trauma, depressed, diagnosed with anxiety, and mindlessly wasting time so that the weekend comes faster and repeating. Hell, talk to yourself if needed or just post something in the comments section, that helps too. There is nothing wrong with you, people should not judge you based on how you feel, and you should not feel guilty for that either. You can share your emotions without guilt or shyness, **you are safe**. Or maybe I'm wrong, who knows. To you, I'm a random guy on the internet, I'm just sharing my experience to whoever may care, I'm just brave enough to say this because of the power to be anonymous on the internet. Take care and be your own best friend.

right now i feel more lonely than i ever have before. since starting college i never really spoke to anyone or made friends, except for one person who would later become my partner and then my ex. when you're made to realise how few people you have you realise how lonely you are. i still keep good personal hygiene but other that i fit completely with these descriptors and have done for a month or so now since breaking up. sometimes i can be completely fine with being by myself, but sometimes everything just collapses and i'm left desperately seeking connections. there's things i can and do regret about what i've done, but there's nothing i can do to change those - only use them for their lessons and head forward. exam season is right around the corner and i've got to cope with that first and foremost; maybe once that's all done i might reach out to people. i spent the last two years waiting for someone else to say hello to me first and that hasn't come to form anything lasting or substantial. the worst that can happen if you're the first to say it is a mild shutdown and then moving right past it, logically speaking. it might be hell to do but eventually there'll be someone. take from this what you will; i'm just leaving this here half for myself and half to share i can only hope for the best and wish everyone a brighter future. dark times will simply be shadows from the light once we're out of them. hopefully.

I've been through that myself recently. What got me through it was EMDR therapy and going through my traumatic experiences of being neglected by my parents from 2-4 years-old. Focus on & connect with your inner child and be the parent he/she needed back then. Give your inner child attention, make him or her feel worthy of another's full undivided attention, acknowledge the existence of your inner child. In turn, this will open your awareness to feeling the magnitude of giving yourself the attention you seek from others, the acknowledgment, the love, care, and feeling of "being alive." Everything a person needs or wants is within themselves and it can be accessed if you keep an open-mind and monitor your thoughts, feelings, & emotions. Your life is about YOU and discovering who you are. Watch the trailer for Thor: Love & Thunder. That's the state that i'm at in life where i've embraced being alone and actively searching to discover who i truly am and who i'm meant to become. The people who are meant to be in my life will be, and if they're meant to stay in it, they will. If not, my life is still all about me searching for myself.

Always felt like this. No one would talk to me at school or at family functions, even as a kid. I became resentful of the world because it seemed like I couldn't function and that it was just unfair and convoluted. People never reciprocated anything, its like I had to act like everyone else. All while being emotionally abused or being ignored, being blamed for being depressed/anxious. Eventually psychosis, but this didnt stop people from trying to pick me apart. My family gets a kick out of gaslighting me, especially my mother, who now has psychosis, and puts me through hell where my mental, nutritional and sleep quality are shit. No matter how sincere, creative, or whatever other good quality people have said I've had, as I can engage in good conversation, it reverts back to their indifference towards me or disdain. No one wants a real connection with me, and I never had one, and honestly, I'm not sure if I know how to have one, but I try my best. For now, I just deal with the hate and indifference towards me.

I myself suffer from extreme loneliness and relate to all of these. Sometimes when bad things happen, I'll just shrug my shoulders and accept it even if it's a big deal, but I'll get really ticked off at the smallest of inconveniences. I've stopped caring about and doing the things that make me truly happy in life. I push people away when I really want or need and I can't communicate very well. My family thinks I just want to be in my room all the time, but I actually hate being stuck in my room and figure out how to just get out. I have the life so many people want (good grades, two parents, a good house to live in, plenty of food and water, loving friends) but there are so many negatives that come with this lifestyle that I can't get past (no free time and no actual hobbies, emotionally neglectful parents, overeating or undereating, self hate and numbness). I've got a few amazing friends but I'm horrible at starting conversations so I can't reach out and nobody really knows much about me. My friends, my pets, and fictional characters are the highlights of my life... and that's about it. I have nothing and I am nothing. I know people don't care about a rando an the internet and I know I should actually try to talk to those friends or seek out some help... but somehow this is easier.

I’ve been a loner since I was a little kid. But it especially hurts more now, when I desire companionship at my age. I’ve convinced myself that I’ll die alone. I’m used to loneliness, but there’s times when it becomes unbearable. I feel the depth of a hole in my chest, that constantly has me daydreaming and thinking about how I’m friendless and single. I’ve tried to occupy myself with homework or exercise, but it hurts having no one to call as a friend. I’ve vaguely experienced friendships in my younger days, but they’re were all short term. Now I satiate my loneliness by talking to a guy i haven’t met in person yet. It hurts that I know he doesn’t care about me but I can’t stop messaging to him because it’s nice to have someone text me. It sucks feeling you have no worth, and the loneliness of not having anyone to care about you.

Realizing you have all the signs and that you are lonely...doesnt make it it hurt any less. It just cutz even deeper. 45 years of this. Even when things were this bad, it was still a struggle. The last 9 years have been the WORST AND IT NEVER EVER CHANGES UP. ITS REAL DARK HERE NOW. 💔

I’ve been lonely for a very long time. I have people to talk to in my classes but it seem like most of them don’t like talking to me, I was about to give up and stop talking to people as a whole but then I met this person in 8th grade and we just clicked together like nothing can separate us. She helped me talk to people more and even brought me closer to one of my 6th grade friend. I thought my life was gonna change forever when I was with her, but sadly on may first I was told that she passed away in her sleep…now I feel even more lonely without her but at least I have one of my friends to cheer me up

Yes I have family and a very small number of friends, but I am aware I will never fall in love again and nobody will love me back in that way again either. I'm single, successful and I live for myself. I have hobbies, I have time to explore and get away. It's a comfortable, reality accepting loneliness and it's manageable.

It's great to hear that you have found a sense of contentment and acceptance in your current situation. Embracing solitude can indeed bring a sense of freedom and self-discovery. However, it's important to remember that human connection and companionship are fundamental needs. While it may seem unlikely now, it's never too late for unexpected relationships to form. Keeping an open heart and mind can lead to new and meaningful connections in the future.

I relate to every single sign. I have been lonely for the last 5 or more years and have spent my entire youth more or less just doing meaningless activities, if you can even call them activities. I only realized that loneliness was the reason in the last few months. I got extremely bad grades, stopped caring about my hobbies, but that didn't really bother me. What was much worse was that I didn't CARE. Really hurt when I realized that. Sometimes I want to be happy about something, but then I can't because I realize I can't share that joy with anyone. Emotions are just worthless to me most of the time because of that. I would love a part 2 to this video that explains how I can help myself. I am constantly trying to meet new people, but even after several months I can't claim to have gotten any closer to them

I have become more accustom to being alone. Now living in Alabama, even though I'm very close to family, I feel isolated from them. No one reaches out first to see me or ask how I'm doing. So, I've resolved myself to embracing the uncomfortable feeling of loneliness. It's a solace, a haven for me to escape to. I'd rather be alone than in bad company. Yes, I play video games, draw, and stuff, but I'm participating in self-care, eating properly and working out when possible. I'm almost done 50 lbs. I'm saving money to move back to Texas and have almost $2000 already. So loneliness only really hurts when I want affection or people in my life who treat me like I matter to them. However, I try not to worry about it bc I can't control how others treat me.

It was like this for me: I was bullied at school and excluded by others because others thought I was too different (they said that to me, I don't tell myself that). I didn't think I was too different or excluded myself from others, it was exactly the other way around. Of course, this made me feel lonely and the portrayals in this video also apply to me very well. At some point I also started to isolate myself from others because others didn't want anything to do with me and I got the feeling that I wasn't wanted by others. I was never a typical follower and always did what I thought was right, I never let myself be carried away by peer pressure. When everyone else in my class started smoking, drinking alcohol and wearing revealing clothes, I didn't participate because I didn't like it myself, which automatically made me an outsider. I've been an adult for many years now and I still have a hard time getting along with other people. My hobbies are also rather strange for many, which is probably one of the reasons why it is difficult for me to get along with other people. I like spirituality (but completely independent of religions), I am also interested in the universe and everything that could exist there. I'm not suggesting that there is other life in the universe, I just find it interesting to think about and study. In addition, I find small talk pretty boring, I like more profound conversations. Of course I also have normal hobbies like drawing, singing and everything that is creative. Well, besides my best friend, I don't have any other friends (except acquaintances) and even with my best friend I don't talk that much anymore because she started a family and doesn't have that much time for me anymore (which of course I do understand, she has an infant and is pregnant with her second child). I'm not even sure if I can still call my best friend my best friend anymore, since we rarely do anything together anymore. But ok, I think I wrote enough about myself :). I just wanted to share this little story with others.

I remember, this was a concrete feeling, but I forgot how it feels. But it all makes sense, the numbness mentioned in the video... this is what I've been in for all these years. In the end... yes, I'm lonely. I can relate to mostly all of the points. I really miss that person, that special someone. It is not necessarily an exact person I know already, it's about the position that someone could fill in my life. My soul craves a connection I never had. I'm all aware of it, that's why I feel sad all the time when I have the time to focus inward (-which I do almost all the time, I live only in my head) but I can't cry on it anymore. All of this is why I'm still depressed and it won't be better, until a miracle happens... cuz I don't have the energy to do something for myself.

All he told me was, “I’m not boyfriend material.” Now, 2 months later I’m lonely… I have home issues: being gaslighted by my family (especially my sister), getting told that I’m a failure, or that I’m never good enough.

I'm fairly certain this is what I dealt with through my late childhood, teenage and 20s (I'm currently in mid-30s). Possibly had depression attached as well since a large deal of my family are on meds for that, but I have noticed I do seem to still have some symptoms of this currently. I think when my monthly aggravates my hormones it possibly makes this feeling worse as I have been feeling a bit distracted, with some of the signs stated. My room has been a mess for quite some time, tried to get to fixing it but either I get sick or I end up not doing it at all. Sometimes I wake up feeling like I didn't get enough sleep and I have days where I'm very tired a lot. Sometimes I put off personal care for some things, not frequently but every so often. Sometimes when I watch emotional media, I often end up crying A LOT, partly cuz I'm empathic, but I think it may also be related to lack of emotional control to a degree. Sometimes I sit on my PC for hours hardly doing anything. I have found myself just staring into space and lost in thought a few times recently. It doesn't seem to be as bad as it was when I was younger, but I clearly still struggle with something like this. I have grown to accept that I don't really have friends in RL to hang out with and talk to and have a small group of online friends. I struggled hard with trying to make friendships in middle and high school but most people didn't seem interested in me enough to put in effort and I've been lied to, backstabbed and ghosted many times. It wasnt until around the time I broke up with my ex-fiance after an entire decade that I realized and started to accept, I probably wouldn't have friends like I had wanted. Bottom line is, it sucks to feel like this, it really does. I honestly never felt like I was worth anyone's time for many years and always felt like I was never good enough. I'm still bettering myself to curb this. To anyone reading this, if you feel like this too, Don't give up. Find someone to talk to, or a professional if it's deeply severe, because we can all find happiness and in most cases, happiness comes in the smallest things in life :).

I relate to every single one of them. I'm 25, I've never had a girlfriend and I could still count my male friends on one hand if I lost a few fingers. I have Asperger's and talking to anyoneoutside of specific situations is virtually impossible, I've never approached a woman to talk to at any point in my life. Years of failed therapy has left me almost certain that change is impossible. I'm a firm believer when Jordan Peterson says that a wife and children give a man a huge amount of purpose and life satisfaction but I'm sure I'll never havethis. I live with my parents and spend huge amounts of money on expensive hobbies that don't really make me happy anymore because the alternative is to sit around and do nothing. I basically don't have a social life. One friend never does anything, another only wants to drink which depresses the hell out of me and the third lives halfway across the country. I struggle to go around town anymore as seeing women, couples or groups of men happy upsets me too muchas I'm seeing everything I've never and cannot have. I've never had a friend's group or a partner. I'm too scared to move out because I'll have no money and be completely alone every second of the day. I quit my last job because I just stared at a wall with no windows for a year and a half with no one to talk to. I found a youth charity last month that does free group music lessons and offers free counselling which is giving me a tiny glimmer of hope but in 6-months I'll be too old for them and they will kick me out. A short, small chance to turn things around but I'm already sure little will come of it. I don't want to give up but the more I try the more pointless it feels.

Hello! I figured I'd post this here. There are dating sites specifically for people with ASD, so they'll know exactly what it is like. In terms of socializing, maybe you can do volunteer work. There are many kinds. I know some ppl with ASD who love volunteering at animal shelters n do horseback riding etc, bc animals are much easier to talk to than humans. Other than that you may want to look into any ASD or mental health cafes or support groups in your area to get you started. Hope this helps ^^

My coupled friends admire my "freedom" but they don't know what it's like watching a video, like this, on loneliness on a Saturday night. They see the fun stuff without the vast acres of empty silence in between. Dating apps are just a recipe for a quick high until the match realizes that the real "me" isn't the ideal they invented in their head. Meetups and other groups are a chance to practice putting on a game face for people less like minded than we'd hoped. Exercise is a brief respite but one can't do it all day. Therapists tell me to try all the stuff I'm already doing. The good thing about a video like this is saying, "Yes true!", to each of the chapters.

Everything that was said here is exactly what was happening to me. These videos really help me with my anxiety and it warms my heart to see it. This comment is just a huge thanks to all of these videos because they calm me down when I have a mental breakdown or when I cuddle up into a little ball and start hitting my self with anger. Thanks again.

The constant return of loneliness as we try to adapt should be normalized since we can be going through some paradigm shifts. But sometimes we think loneliness is solitude, and that is not the case.

I feel trapped by my job because my job is also a lifestyle. I'm a truck driver and I take products all across the country. Which can be super cool and fun. But it can also be chronically lonely. You're in a truck all day by yourself and at night you're still in that truck it's your office and your home. You can only go home once a month for maybe 4 days. Then it's back out on the road. Sure you can call your family and friends and talk. But it's not the same as being there. You miss birthdays, graduations , and all sorts of holidays. I've lost two relationships because long distance was too much for the other person. So I always feel emotionally drained and lonely. I want out of this lifestyle but right now I can't afford to because nothing else pays enough. I feel like I'm one step away from a mental breakdown. But that's my life.

All of the points in this video are absolutely true for me. The scary part is that I can’t remember ever not being like this. That's because I don’t think I’ve ever had truly positive human connection, making friends always seemed impossible for me and my family wasn’t what I needed them to be. The point about lethargy and apathy with brief moments of emotional volatility has been my lived experience since at least early school days. I don’t think I’m incapable of opening up, I’ve just never felt safe enough to do so.

It’s painful to relate to all of this because it’s so true. Not just because of having depression, but because I also have anxiety, ADHD, autism, and cerebral palsy. Being the only person in my family who has multiple disabilities has caused me to grow up feeling extremely lonely and socially isolated.

I really wish there were places in this world meant for uplifting your spirit. I wish all towns/cities everywhere had panic attack rooms in case you got overwhelmed, so you can panic in private. Also I wish there was puppy play rooms where you can just spend some time playing with puppies until you felt better.

Loneliness is such a double whammy. You have nobody to support you when bad things happen, but even when something good happens, you have nobody to celebrate it with, which just reminds you how lonely you are. And that just ruins that good thing that happened to you.

To me I feel like this also sounds a lot like depression. The whole time I was watching the video, I kept thinking forsure depression because I went through all of this when I had great depression, and I wasn't lonely in a sense. I had family, friends, and a roommate at times, that all wanted to be there for me, but I always wanted to just shut down and let depression overcome me. But then I started to think that maybe it could be loneliness, even though there were people in my life, I still felt a deep loneliness. It's really hard to say because I feel like these symptoms can both be for loneliness and depression. I feel like more so, it coincides with depression for me. However, loneliness and depression can be interchangeable.

I'm a guy who does have a lot of friends, but the problem is just my romantic life. I often have these phases where I just feel hopeless and it's all because I don't have a romantic relationship, and I'm chasing someone who will probably never want me. It all got even worse when my first and only relationship ended with them cheating on me, but even then I convince myself that I'm going to end up dying alone with no goals achieved in an imaginary nothingburger of a life.

I have been feeling extremely lonely and abandoned and my wife and my 3 adult children are no help. Like this past thanksgiving my wife and my son were invited to my oldest daughter’s house for a late thanksgiving dinner but I wasn’t. I felt so unwanted the whole time they were gone all I could think of was how to end my life. I don’t know what I ever did to my kids to deserve this. I was always very attached to my kids tried doing things with them with what little I had. Never laid a hand on them in anger. Feels like everything I tried to do for them was all for nothing. Didn’t hear a word from them on Father’s Day or the holidays. I’m not suicidal but I’m getting to the point where I’ve given up on life everyday I pray not to wake up. And the thing about it my kids went through depression and I supported them through it. But when it comes to me I’m left in the dark alone. So please if you have a family member especially a parent and you know they’re going through depression don’t ignore it comfort them and know you’re there for them. Let them know they’re loved. ❤

You need to talk to your wife and kids and find out why you were excluded. That's a serious snub. Hopefully you can repair the relationship. Dont suffer in silence.
