Based off the video you should take time to reflect on why you’re lonely, what exactly you’re looking for in another person, why you feel you want/need another person, ect. I feel what you’re going through but the videos aren’t addressing the loneliness, some people are satisfied with living alone until they die, try and think about how you could give that to yourself. Instead of trying to fill a bottomless pit of loneliness with videos try finding the tools you need to walk right over said pit

me personally, I need all the background noise to convince my brain that it doesnt need to sit and scroll, it can still indulge in its favorite things while I can do something productive. Its like a peace offering

[@theflyingspaget]

Yeah my brain is not at all like what he described, I love thinking, I will get lost in my thoughts, lock me alone in an empty room with a notebook and some pens and I'll be perfectly content for a good week, but I can't just always let myself think. Letting myself think in depth thoughts takes effort and energy, which usually manifests as me doing nothing physically but fidgeting, or maybe writing my thoughts down. But I'm a person, I have responsibilities, so when I need to do something else, I need to distract my brain with some garbage to keep me from wandering off into my own head in pursuit of something more fun to do.

[@Respectable_Username]

Yes! It's the "I need just enough dopamine to get me off of this couch and doing the thing I need to do." I've spent days lying on the couch, a mobile game to occupy my hands while my brain concocted elaborate worlds. But getting caught in an emotional moment between two characters in my brain isn't exactly conducive to making me hang out the laundry before it goes mouldy! Not to mention the feeling like you're hanging out with a friend, which is so extra valuable if you live alone and struggle to match schedules with anybody you know IRL

One of my all-time favorite quotes from Mr. Rogers went something like, "I'm very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder, in noise, rather than silence." And I've been trying to free up space in my mind to just...come to terms with the world around me. I would like to be present. As a creative person, I haven't given myself a single second to just let my boredom take me to wherever I wanted. It's pretty frustrating, so I think I'll have more of what he's having.

[@ko379]

A topic that I think is related to this is maladaptive daydreaming. I hate boredom so much that I’ll tell myself stories. The pros to this include that I probably wouldn’t get bored enough to shock myself, and silence isn’t so bad. The downside is that I can also use this to distract myself from boring things that are really important to pay attention to, like class, work, or a problem I need to be addressing. It’s basically the same as putting on a podcast to me, except harder to stop myself from turning to it because I can’t just leave earphones at home. Great video! I listened to it on my commute home.

[@rhiannonmcpherson3548]

[@NOVAScOoT]

"Filling your spare time with someone else's voice shuts out your own" is exactly what I'm trying to do when listening to music all the time or watching something, because I'm not in control of my own thoughts and my mind will inevitably conjure up some horrible thought or image of something awful and make my already hard enough to get through life more miserable. I don't want to think anymore.

[@Taycatte]

"An artist respects the silence that serves as the foundation for creativity" - that one new yorker who we all made fun of but IS TOTALLY RIGHT

[@mads9259]

It's a sign of anxious attachment actually. It fills the liminal space in reality where you don't feel alone, because once you're aware you're alone, you freak out that you aren't safe. So the strat is to drown out the silence so you never have to be alone with yourself. You don't have to judge yourself for using these strategies to cope. As long as you are able to be flexible and can tolerate silences as needed in life, it doesn't have to be a negative thing. If you can't tolerate 5 seconds of silence without spiraling, I would suggest talking to a therapist honestly.

[@millie_the_beetle]

Well shit that's just me lmao, moreso with spiraling into completely other equally paranoid topics but still

[@foogriffy]

practicing stillness to failure over and over again can help with this. the meditation involves sitting motionless and obswrving the body and mind cry out in boredom. it trains detachment from such sensations. if you cant do it for 5 seconds, do it for 4, then take a break and try for 5. then keep going. once a day or more often. i've found it's easiest not to force this practice but to let it come naturally as an urge. next time you notice an emptiness within you while scrolling, or a sense of unease and overwhelm, or any negative sensation whatsoever, put the internet down and try the stillness practice. there will be no immediate results and it'll seem like you wasted your time at first, but if you keep doing it the benefits become massive over time

Reminder that attachment styles aren’t set in stone and that we can grow beyond them

[@raquelgarcia3253]

i think it's a bit of a leap in logic to assign an attachment style to this kind of behavior (esp considering that this has nothing to do with relationships)

[@Maras-Baras]

Turned my life around two months ago. Started meditating, writing down my thoughts in a diary and reflecting on them. This has basically allowed me to reconnect with the inner me. Instead of random thoughts constantly dwelling in the back of my mind, I now sit back, relax, listen to them and try to either completely free my mind of any thought, or I try to focus them in one direction. This has allowed me to understand myself more, and with that, understand others better aswell. One thing I've realized because of this, is that I've been scared of my emotions for a long time, that's what trauma does to you, even if you might not have realized it before. Now instead of running away from them and other things that would make me uncomfortable, I face them and try to understand them. It's not like it's not uncomfortable anymore, somethings are just like that for possibly our whole lives, but now I know that I am able to face it and that I am able to learn to live with it.

I always watch videos in the background while doing something. But for me, it's more about creating silence rather then running away from it. To me it feels like I am immune to boredom.

I did this experement where I put on blindfolds and earplugs and just sat there for 15 minutes, and I didn't even get a little bit bored. I love silence, I love thinking, but sometimes I need a hiatus from all those thoughts so I put on a video. I often don't even losten to what they're saying but it quiets my head a little.

Friends, The Office, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family… I already watched so many times that it made me remember the lines in the middle of the night

[@justplay0255]

Thanks dude, i really needed this video, it literally striked me when i needed it, i was literally becoming addict to having stuff in the background and not doing stuff for the sake of it but rather because i had something running in the background, im going to try to be more aware of this and try to relax and enjoy silence and peace more

[@AxesteelMusic]

I used this video to listen to while looking for another video to watch

[@glowy_tulip]

i love this comment 😭😭

[@Mah11ro]

2:12 when you said "I'm scared the silence will be broken by something I don't like" my ffxiv queue popped and it scared me

[@Codys__place]

4:52 why is KZbin getting low key relatable

[@thelivingmystery.africa]

11:31 I think it all started when I turned 14

[@commandpost4091]

The last 20 seconds of nothing really brought me back. I thought by the end of this i would be panicking about my own inability but i am kind of blissfully content

[@brody_herman]

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I’VE FINALLY FOUND IT. MINDLESSLY SCROLLING FOR HOURS UPON HOURS TO NO AVAIL. BUT TODAY IS DIFFERENT! TODAY I FOUND THE BACKGROUND VIDEO!!

[@merakimemories]

geezes I've never felt more called out! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 0:15

[@averysmallcaptain]

this video is a great reminder to cut on stimulation from time to time and enjoy silence oh and here's something that helps me a lot with cringe/bad memories from decades ago: I like to acknowledge it and then interrupt the thought with "it happened and so what ?" it always helped me move on from that memory ! Writing it down works as well because you physically take it out of your mind, just don't dwell on it too much either way

[@lunabruce1804]

Unfortunately I sorta need stimulation, if I don't my ADHD brain is understimulated ;w;

[@jamesexeisnotresponding6686]

dude the vibe of every set is immaculate your house is killer

[@elilost]

This was really helpful, I really appreciate the honesty of what's being said that isn't really sugar-coated without you being judgemental or demeaning. It feels a lot of the time when given health advice we're pressured to stop doing the unhealthy thing immediately 100%, but you acknowledged taking slow steps and just genuinely made this whole concept really approachable. I'm already really benefiting from this, asking myself am I running or am I relaxing, and trying to train my mind to think better lmao Thank you for making this video

[@just_mdd4]

I wonder if I can listen to this in the background. 😝

[@MiSssTrinTrin]

I like to put things in the background because when a task is repeated for awhile I might as well try and learn and use my time but I do try and value my silence I do agree that silence can be a "fear" like the dark because human thought can be insane, especially if you have anxiety or depression or just generally insecure, putting your brain where it can but probably shouldn't be in can happen with too many thoughts I am super glad you mentioned thinking as being a skill, a lot of people don't do it, many are passive with the same thoughts and/or thinking about things that aren't even real or don't benefit their own lives in any way I think(😳) too, that many people do live in places where there is almost a guarantee for noise in the background so that could be another reason for the need of noise nowadays, but loneliness/isolation is never something a human can experience for any long amount of time, its just a fact; because isolation forever is a recipe for insanity I love how you highlight the types of thinking or no thinking at all can occur depending on the state of silence or time in your life Super good video, I know the thoughts out of a thousand people you'll probably never hear/see or take deeply but I enjoy your videos very much and all of its care+thought so I figure I would make a comment, I often don't so maybe you will see it ❤:) your awesome !!

[@Moonstone_on_YT]

I found this video while looking for a video to fall asleep to funnily enough and left with appreciation for silence and more things to do when I’m board. Thank you. ❤

[@cervichthyoquine]

14:14 holy shit thats actually completely not true for me my brain runs a mile a minute and i think so much when watching things lol edit: maybe cause my internal voices are louder than anything outside of my brain

[@notCAMD]

7:11 by the way, i disagree with Vsauce on his take on attention-grabbing short-form content he gave in the interview "i spent a day with Vsauce". He said that videos where there are one or a bunch of other videos playing along with the main video (like gameplay from Subway Surfers, clips ftom Family Guy, satisfying soap cutting etc.) are okay because back when we didn't have tiktok, we used to watch at birds or cars driving on the street while we were talking on the phone. He's wrong because birds and cars are much less stimulating than aforementioned techniques to keep the viewer's attention and can lead to addiction or/and negatively impact a person's mental health in other ways

[@sabina.d]

Meditation helps me deal with that spooky feeling of existing alone silently 😊🧘🏻‍♀️ that’s how I spent the minute of silence we spent together 🙏🏻 it helps to be able to practice to shut off your thoughts, (though it def takes practice) Yoga helps also!! :)

[@Cynthia139]

11:00 ish bold of you to assume i'm not listening to music while watching this video

[@AndreiBostina-h4w]

5:15 GET THE HELL OUT OF MY BRAIN , STOP IT . Fr no longer has meaning when you’re READING MY THOUGHTS.

[@hedge931]

This reminds me of a Bible verse! "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." Philippians 4:8 It seems like kind of an odd thing to go out of your way to intentionally do, but it can be a much needed replacement to all the troubling thoughts that easily enter our heads. Also, that minute of silence was one of my favorite moments in a video lately. Had me take a relaxing deep breath! Now I'm thinking it would be cool (and maybe weird, but still) to have longer videos like that but with talking here and there.

It's wild to discover the next 443k subscriber channel when they're under 100k. But its's a nice feeling knowing you're a drop in the river that will eventually lead to the ocean.

[@andrew7722]

0:38 why are you wearing different socks?

[@jayden_1719]

why ARENT you

[@SkylorBeck]

I literally carry pocket notebooks around so I can write my thoughts down and process them when I have the appropriate time. Excellent video
