as a boy scouts group leader i see lots of young people, girls and guys that are confused by our current social political ways of mistreating the truth. they are confused of their roles and their borders. it is frustrating at times and gives lots of headaches, but it's also the reason i do this voluntary work.

[@CygnusX-11]

Many people label themselves "lonely" but most of them don't have the slightest idea about what true loneliness feels like. That feeling of utter hopelessness you get every single day you wake up, knowing that you have no plans, no place to be, no one to meet, no one to talk to. Even your own family don't know how morbidly lonely you are and you can't even tell them. And you slowly start getting consumed by your mind that has been starved of human interaction for soooo long. Imagine repeating this scenario every single waking hour.

[@BoomBang101]

exactly. i'm in your exact situation right now. I feel so alone and helpless. it's eating my mind

[@oreocat2884]

true loneliness is the feeling of not being connected to another human being it does not matter how many people are around you or if you are around anyone at all i do get you man im going on 5 years of being truly alone as in physical loneliness but "lonely" most my life came back because I found out about a crush I had and hurts to see them moving along in life with everyone else and me being behind without a way to connect to them stay strong become comfortable with yourself and you will make it through

[@tripplethicc626]

whats worst is when u do try making friends, u kinda hold back and have trust issues because of what happened in the past, people treated u badly and now u feel the need to careful each time u are talking to someone, and the biggest issue for me is that when i feel lonely, i suddenly have a surge of hope and i say i need to give the effort of talking to people and thats one of the reasons why im lonely, but the main reason for my lonliness was because i was paired up with the wrong people, and when ever i have the chance to get to talk to people, for what ever reason its the days where i have the chance i feel socially akward and shy at the time when i have the chance to talk to people... .but whenever i feel hopefully and all that saying and planning what im going to do, those are the times when im at home. like it sucks, i can have days and weeks feeling socially akward and shy for days and weeks, and its like a cycle im trying to break, to all the people reading this good luck and i hope u guys find the right people to be with and thrive with....

This is true! I get more satisfaction trying to make myself happy instead of trying to please someone who thought it was normal to diappear and go no contact whilst working away for days/weeks/months and after years of enduring this, threw a tantrum when I did it back to him. This man had double standards and I could never measure up enough for him despite keeping well groomed, paying all the bills, educating myself, remaining loyal to him. These days, I'm at a point where I would like someone but not necessarily "need" someone in my life. After 4 years I decided I will no longer settle.

I'll just make this point - I spent my 20s working on a 'career' that I just *happily* abandoned at 37. What you do to make money, and how much you make, does *not* define you. Neither does presence or absence of a partner. My father passed a few years back. I hadn't seen him since I was 13, I always wanted to get halfway across the country to visit him but kept telling myself, "There's plenty of time, I'll save for that plane ticket next year." Next year never came. He passed, and no one even bothered to tell me he was in rough shape until 6 months after. That's one regret I'll probably take to my grave. At 40 you'll have forgotten all about feeling like you were lagging behind your peers at 26, you'll have learned there are more important things in life than keeping up with the Joneses. Enjoy your dad while you can.

I retired a couple years early to take care of her as her health declined. Now I find myself sitting at home for weeks at a time, only to leave the house to get a few groceries.

That's really well said!! I'm a mom of six kids, dairy farming family. I got three boys. And 3 girls. We raised them with hard work ethics, morals and values. My 24 year old and 22 year old sons are alone trying to cope. They want to find nice girls, but so far neither of them have dated anyone yet. We are not rushing them, but I am seeing what's going on out there and so are they and they are gun shy. The feminists have done great damage. One of my girls dated a little but sees guys are withdrawing and hesitant to even ask her out and she's looking for a strong man who's got some morals and is a hard worker and wants to take the lead. Tough times all around, I really am sad to see what is happening to our young men in this country. You are right when you say that you have to become comfortable with yourself. I am encouraging that for my boys and girls. Thank you so much for sharing from your heart!

[@MEATOGRE]

Thank you for this. When I was 27, I got out of an engagement with an unfaithful woman. I sold most of my possessions, left my old job behind, threw what I had left in my vehicle, and hit the road. Ended up in the sticks in Oklahoma working as a steelworker with the best quality of life I've ever had, my own small humble home, and the best damn dog a man could ask for. It's like you said, it truly takes courage to leave everything that you know and makes you comfortable behind to go into the unknown. It's unsettling and its uncomfortable sometimes. The loneliness was hard to deal with at first. It would keep me up at night, it was a bad feeling I couldn't chase away. But it turned into peace. Genuine peace. It turned into self-reflection and growing as a man. Everyday, every task is an accomplishment that I achieved. You're a wise man, sir, thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's always good to have more tools for the mental toolkit. Continue to be a good man.

New sub here. Got married when I was 30 and my wife and I had two boys. In 2006 my wife passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm at age 40. My two sons were 10 and 7 at the time. I worked full time ( self employed construction) full time and raised my two sons with the help of family on both sides. I spent ALL of my free time with my two boys. They came first, no exceptions. Had absolutely no desire to date or form a relationship while my boys were young. My Dad wasn’t able to spend as much time with me as I wanted so I wasn’t going to make the same mistake. My two sons went to church and belonged to the youth group while growing up. Now my sons are 26 and 23 and are both pursuing their goals and working hard. I have not dated since my wife passed away. Sometimes I feel lonely for companionship but after 16 years of being single I am set in my ways and I enjoy being able to come and go as I please. I retired 2 years ago at age 56 and have found some interests to keep me busy and mostly content. It’s hard to know what to do ( relationship or stay single) because today you don’t know who you can trust and too many people are all about themselves.

22 year old man, just getting out of a toxic relationship with a girl that was destroying my sense of self and what I valued and had me a shadow of myself scared of her. Stayed with her for the exact reason I was scared of being alone and being by myself, god forbid. Being alone is 10000x better than the hell of being with the wrong person just for touch. This video hit hard, brother. Thanks for sharing some of your wisdom with us. Stay strong men, times are tough but we got this.

I'm more than 20 years your senior. When i was your age I was almost married to a toxic narcissist who almost drove me to ending my life at about 22. When we split up I thought I was done and would never be able to love again. I was wrong. I stayed single for 5 years before I met my wife of 20 years. Hang in there young man. You're gonna be fine.

I’m 2 years younger and I’ve never been in a relationship, I don’t know if it’s cause I didn’t really try, or if women just don’t like me.

Let’s become better men till there

[@haven_amadeus]

Your pain is felt my friend. I spent three years with a woman who destroyed my sense of self. Everything that made me proud of myself was gone, every skill, hobby, hope, and dream was dashed. Friends and family were cut off. I was the punchline of every joke amongst her friends and family. And the yelling, it never stopped, I never realized just how much it messed me up until after the relationship, the fear of conflict that comes from her still persists. But I know this, I know that I'm better for having lived that relationship, and I'm stronger for having left it.

[@tomfolkes4997]

Spot on, Dwayne. I'm 80 now, but back in my forties I learned that I can't be responsible for somebody else being happy, nor they for me. Happiness is a choice we make for ourselves. Likewise, unhappiness is not because of somebody else. It is a choice we make. Oh, people can disappoint us, but that doesn't mean we have to be unhappy as a result. It simply presents us with another choice to make regarding that relationship. As you said, if we are comfortable in our own skin (hopefully because we have done the requisite homework) nobody can penetrate our happiness without our permission. As another commenter said, there is a difference between solitude and loneliness. Great things can be accomplished in solitude, not so much in loneliness. Your videos have given me a lot of pause to reflect on the days when I had a Buckskin quarter horse, and it always puts a smile on my face. Thank you, brother, much appreciated.

[@tomfolkes4997]

@@freezinginhere When I bought my Buck back in 1966, I had just returned from Vietnam and having a horse was one of my youthful bucket list items. He was 9 years old and was an experienced ranch horse, but had been previously owned by a family that bought him for their daughter who wasn't really interested.... so he had been left to pasture for a couple of years and was in really bad shape. Hooves so long that they were curling up, his coat so sunburned by the Florida sun that he looked more white than buck skin, and had a terrible sun cancer spot on his pink nostril. I was naive about caring for a horse, but fortunately I was able to board him at a farm near where I lived and with the help and advice of the farmer, brought him back to peak health and condition. He knew more about being ridden that I did about riding, but he also knew that I was a worthy pupil for having shown him the love and attention that he needed. It was a good time. One of the things I enjoy about Dewayne's chats is finding out that I did at least a few things right while Buck and I were pards.

I am a 23 year old woman who has lived a lot of life so far. I was trapped in a home fire and escaped, was in a car accident that made my baby 2 months premature, my father passed away suddenly in front of me a few days ago. And more obviously lol. (All Within the past 2 years). I learned a long time ago that you are the only one who will be with you for the rest of your life guaranteed. So make sure you can deal with yourself for that long. And if you can’t then figure out what you don’t like about yourself and change it. Also sometimes we go through terrible things even if you try to be a good person every day. Maybe bad things happen to good people to test if they are going to stay good people strong in their convictions and morals. I’m not sure yet. I hope things get better for me but maybe there is no exchange of good karma or an ultimate reason why I went through these things. But having those beliefs help me cope.

For men who are lonely I'm 33 years old now. Outside of work and life itself I've found a way to cope with life playing guitar and piano maybe that might not be for you but what I can say is find a hobby or something that drives you to continue doing it and enjoying it in the moment when your alone with yourself. Fishing hunting drawing art and or playing an instrument even having a pet can be a huge help. There was a point in my life where I wanted to end my life. I don't do drugs smoke or drink. I didn't know what to do or where to turn I was coming home from work one night around midnight driving home. I live in the country I was going 50 mph I decided to push it to 110 mph and was shaking ready to yank the wheel sending me into a ditch ending everything.... I slowly stopped and stopped. I made it home woke up the next day and went to work and a coworker was talking about his new guitar he had got. I was curious and got to talking and came to getting my own. It's been 3 years now of playing and nothing makes me feel better like this guitar.... It makes everything go away it melts my feelings away. I got to thinking about it how instant it was and how it all fell into place in that moment and all I can say is to never give up. Keep your circle small, work hard, keep drama away and do what makes you happy. In the end it kinda sorts itself out and don't let anyone tell you that you NEED to be with a woman or in a relationship to live a good life. You can live a good full life even by yourself. Work hard and prosper brother's and God speed. Don't give up.....
