    Thank you, interesting vid. Don’t mean to sound sour grapes but before internet folk had interests, hobbies, expertise in some area. They laughed more, men wud sing/whistle out loud on the street, on busses. Had time to engage.
    Seems now that folk too busy too boring too tired.
    I’m old but l do prefer aloneness to the effort involved in elbowing my way into a social clique. 🎉

    or maybe just stop makinf videos feeding into people's hyperthinking anxiety. you are the vsauce of over rationalized male loneliness. make a song or something so its at least not that depressing. or i suppose your a philosopher, either way, this is only a comment ;3

    The only reason people get married is loneliness. If someone has conqudred loneliness they would have no reason to get married or start a family. They would be happy living their life

    It really hurts when you realise that you are just a backup friend when other friends are not there and how people will get mad at you for doing something. I really tried to fit in for four years but no

    I’m not allowed to be friends with one of my friends anymore. I have so many others yet I feel so lonely without him. Idk how I’ll ever feel as happy as I did a month ago, it shouldn’t even be this hard, bc he shouldn’t have been that important to me.

    The animal part of me wants revenge on this world for hurting me.
    The human part of me recognizes that no one in particular is at fault and additionally, whilst I am a victim I am also a part of my problem.
    It turns my frustration into a strange form of suicidal urge.
    Afterall, its wrong to harm others, so why not express the anger by plastering the insides of my skull on concrete and ashphalt?

    Most people say your senior year is the best year of high school because you have a friend group established, school is more simple, you know where you’re going for college and all of that. I haven’t felt that Is the case for me at all right now. I have friends, but not real good friends. Friends who enjoy my company for some hangouts, but none I can rely on or trust. None I can call up if I am feeling down, or trust with my darkest secrets. None that enjoy adventure or want to go out and see things. They each have their own lives and goals, and while we are friends, they care for those things the most (which isn’t bad) so often I feel utterly lost. I have no plan. I can’t afford college, so chances are I will be stuck at home after this year in my parents house. I wish I didn’t feel so hopeless about this, that I didn’t just wallow in self pity, but I just feel so alone with no plan or anything to look forward to. I have no one who can be there, not my family, no deep connection friends, it’s really just me alone.
    This seems like such a pathetic rant (it may be a bit) I just needed to put it out into the world so someone can hear, just that makes me feel a little better, and a little less alone.

    Honestly the thing I hate about being alone is the fact I learn too much about myself. I start to sway in between the line of intelligence and insanity. Other than that I’m good.

    Loneliness is curable. You there, don't feel despair. I was there. The thing is you need to make the change. Do not, I repeat, Do not wait for others. I grabbed my courge, and some months ago I talked with a girl who has filled me with emotions eversince. Little did I know she is going to be a dear friend of mine, but then, toss me back to a state of loneliness after saying I am contacting with her too little.
    You see, the thing is, I got complacent, after talking with her, I did not make the same move again with others, even though I wanted. And thats why I'm "lonely" again. But another will come. I will make another one to come. And By force I will conquer my loneliness.
    The main thing I realized through the recent years, that knowing 1000 people won't fade your loneliness, but knwoing the right few.

    i’m always by myself. every day is the same, i got to school i go home, take a nap, stay at home then go sleep again, wake up and go to school. that’s literally what every day of my life looks like and it’s been like that for YEARS almost every single day. i talk to people on the internet because i don’t have anyone to talk to irl. i havent gotten to know a girl since 2019 and it’s just tiring. i don’t even wanna have friends and this point i just wanna build a strong connection with a girl. i don’t wanna spend every day alone anymore it’s so boring i don’t even wanna live anymore because it just isn’t worth it

    but in a comforting twist, i feel there is companionship to be felt in everyone ultimately being alone. if you were truly alone, it would just be you feeling this, but its everyone. everyone is alone together.

    I have friends and a girlfriend, they're really good people but for some reason I always feel lonely. I know some people wish to have friends and a girlfriend so I don't really feel nice sharing my problem as some people have bigger issues. I'm always there for them but they don't really know how to deal with me when I'm the one that needs them.

    How comforting to hear that aristotle and I are on the same page with regard to this most vexing subject.
    I personally find myself rarely erring on the side loneliness being godlines but I won't deny it has happened!
    Though if we were to tally it up I'd say it's 99% thinking you're an animal.
