Right now I think we'll stay the way we are now, social creatures. Even now there are a lot of cultures and societies which encourage collectivism.

Then one kid got on nerves and basically everyone from 6th grade was at the outside tables and I yelled to one guy who just wouldn’t shut up. “Hey!

A little late but here i go: So i had this problem back in school too. My "friends" were nice and all. I talked a lot with them but it never felt right. Sometimes i didnt say what i meant other times i just couldnt speak up. The thing is (and thats the hard part) theyre not real friends. Trust me if they hurt you (in anyway) or you dont feel comfortable around them -> get fucking rid of them. Real friendship is so different from that i still cant believe it. I dont have to think what im saying. It just clicks and i just feel happy now. Youve to try again and again and thats the hardest part of the problem. Every relationship is like that. Youve to sort out the troublemakers/idiots/etc. and to do that youve to just try (again and again...). Its not going to be easy but hang in there and believe in yourself. Your future self will thank you. Youll think back and it will be crazy how it changed. Hope this somehow helps. Feeling lonely is probably one of the worst things out there but its cureable. Meeting new people makes you vulnerable and consumes a lot of time/energy but in the end its the only way.

@@housecat1674 damn. that sucks. I know it dont feel like it... but that was not you. that was them. I had 2 experiences where I tried. one was great. one was not, and I let it ruin me. *1 - in hs in florida we had a nice outdoors campus (art school). during lunch, I saw an obviously (facial/body expression) lonely boy sitting against a pillar looking down at the grass. I said "Hey man what's up? you new? want to go for a walk?" and he did. we had fun that one time. we never hung out with each other after that day, but he had made friends and always smiled and said hello to me in the halls. (I was art, he was music - no shared classes) *2 - another time in hs, after school by the bus loading area, there was a nervous looking, very quiet kid with glasses. I thought the other time was good.. I made someone happy and I felt good. so I stood right in front of him, waved and said "hello!" and he just stared at me. I repeated my word... and he blinked. I felt so sad. like I was bothering him. I said sorry and slunk away. I never fucking did that again. it was stupid of ME. in hindsight, i shouldn't have ever let myself feel shame for reaching out. * years later, I saw the boy from story 1. he was so happy to see me, and told me and the friends he was with, that I'd never know how much I changed his hs experience just from that one day. he made a lot of friends. I wish I could have been his friend, but it didn't happen - we were really different and lived far from each other. what I'm trying to say, is we'll never be able to reach someone who isn't ready or willing to be reached. but this reaching out and trying again is a real thing that can have such an impact... well I lied. I did reach out again. i met my last significant other inside of an abandoned building.. and I saw him a few weeks later walking in the streets where I lived. I pulled over and said "hey. wanna go for a drive?" he did. then i killed him... not. but we did joke about how i could have... we've been together 8 years. o.o

From my experience, this seems to work. I had friends before 2020 but none of them were very close, and even tho I barely have any friends now, I feel less lonely than before because I’m better at occupying myself.

Marceline Morales okay, so as the video itself recommends, I’m trying to lift somebody’s mood up although it’s not what I would normally do. But I can tell you that feeling left behind the group is a very familiar feeling. In fact, now that I think about it it’s been a long time since I actually cared about it because it happened so many times that it kinda became a normality for me to feel left out. Or maybe I just got used to it or I’m not trying anymore or whatever the video says. Anyways, in my case, I know that people would have accepted me if I tried a bit harder therefore I think you can choose not to be alone and maybe if you give yourself a chance( or multiple chances) you can get yourself out of that isolation bubble. And also you’re probably cool and funny and if you haven’t found the right people around you yet then just keep being yourself. I hope it didn’t make you feel sadder, lol

I'm the one who connects everyone while im just a broken connection line.

Loneliness has helped me a lot personally. It has taught me how to entertain myself better, which has lead to more interests in things such as learning or meditation. I think it is okay to like being alone. I personally do enjoy my alone time. I get overwhelmed being around people often times and feel drained by social interaction. I am not antisocial by any means though, just more reclusive and introverted. I prefer quality over quantity in all things, especially company. And I try to be grateful for every day, whether it has been a challenging day full of suffering, or an easy day full of pleasure. I like contrast in experience because I feel it necessary to better understand ourselves as individuals, and to better understand our own truths, whatever they may be. I like your videos.

Loneliness is also related to how we interact with the world, if it is hostile or if it allows refuge, it´s sociological/philosohical, existential.

Thank you very much for this video. I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm 48 now and have been alone, so to speak, for 20 years. There are no friends or family, my day consists of getting up to go to work and then I just hope the day goes by quickly so I can lie down so I can go back to work. With the Corona pandemic, I stopped participating in social life in general. And yes, I have developed the attitude that all people are shit. Even if I look at the world, it doesn't help me much to get out of this depression. I've come to terms with the fact that at some point I'll just be dead and no one knows who I was. So to everybody else, look after yourselfs and keep being social. Bye

I used to have this small group of friends last year. They were the best guys I’ve ever had. They were there when I was this lonely kid who couldn’t relate to the majority of the rest of the student body. So many laughs we made videos together, went to each other’s houses.. it was so fun with these four guys... Until suddenly, they’re gone.. one moved away for economic reasons. Another is always with his girlfriend and doesn’t have time to hang with us anymore. The other became home schooled. One went back to Mexico, and came back here but in a different city. This year, I walk the halls alone. With no other friends, at least “real” friends. I don’t fit in at all.. I don’t relate to the majority of the rest of the students. I found myself just alone with no one else. Don’t say, “just go make new friends.” It’s hard and I don’t RELATE to anyone. For now, it’s just been me.. and I rarely ever or get the chance to call them. I’m not jealous that other people hang out in their friend group. They deserve the happiness found within each other. It’s not their fault, it’s my own. I know this because if I blamed others for my own misery, it’ll make me a worse person. I don’t pity myself, I’m not this anti social weirdo, I’m capable of joking and getting along with others.. but I don’t find them to be true friends, I don’t know anyone. I think, that my deepest desire, is to “escape.” Run away to another place to find my own happiness. Yet I don’t think I’ll ever find that. Even if I did go to another place, will I find what I’m looking for? I haven’t laughed in a long while. I Know I’m Isolated, I know that I’m lonely. But what am I suppose to do? I don’t know anyone in these classrooms I walk into everyday. I can see their laughing or crying faces, stories of what they did over each other’s homes. They remind me of the friends I used to have. The stories we told each other. We all once went to this forest area near a lake and saw a huge snake by a ravine. You know what stupid shit we did? We pushed each other toward it. We went over each other’s houses and role played Batman, we tackled each other on the floor. We once snuck in Homecoming through an open window... it was crazy but we had fun! Until nearly an hour later we were caught without passes so we hid from the security. We also nearly drowned each other during Sping Break when we went to this Water Park, I also accidentally pushed a little boy in the deep end so we had to save him and the boy’s mom got mad. It was funny though. We went together for Christmas and mostly played uno, timber and smash and Cards Against Humanity. I miss the crazy shit we did. I miss them. Because the things we did didn’t make sense to others. But we did them because we wanted to have fun. Because we understood each other deeply, who we were. Imagine all the crazy shit that happened that made you feel alive, made you feel like you were a part of something bigger. I still have their phone numbers, we barely text but it’s just so frustrating. I’m not suicidal or a negative person. I have no clear direction of what I want in life. I have no goals or any motivation. I don’t know what I want. But even so, I’ll cherish them, hold dear to them.. maybe we’ll see each other once again. Maybe not. But I won’t let my loneliness get the best of me. Just because I’m lonely doesn’t mean I have to be negative.

[@suerock4020]

Take a second look around you. A lot of people are very good at hiding depression and sadness. Most of the things posted on social media are only snapshots of the good things that happen in life. Most people don't post the bad parts of life. For example, it turns out that one of the most popular girls in my grade had a father that beat her mother every day and was an alcoholic. If you would have looked solely at her social media you would think that she had the perfect life.

@Anton Babani What does being an atheist have to do with this?

[@TrishRowdy]

@Anton Babani Christians are literally forced to go to church. Who's gonna pay the tithes if nobody goes, huh? Why would any sane person go outside on a Sunday? They get angry about religious things because you are likely very dense to talk to. Most people don't have that sort of patience. Also they have heard the same argument 9000 times already. It's getting really repetitive. I feel like you only brought this up because you search for any excuse not to be atheist.

[@StormZephyr]

@Anton Babani This shouldn't be surprising. Religion is a ready-made common connection you can have with another person, whereas atheism is its absence or even a position adversarial to religion. But that doesn't mean that religion is the best answer to any individual's loneliness, it is just one answer that might be suitable for people able to believe it. And that also doesn't mean that atheism is the cause of loneliness, it just means that a particular route to avoiding it is not actionable for the individual who holds it.
