Unfortunately, one of the points in the video kind of struck a sensitive spot for me. Obviously, I would love nothing more to share my interests and passions with other people, but it's really hard when my siblings will constantly berate me and make fun of my interests. I honestly had a really difficult semester at college this year, and on the weekdays I was always so busy, it felt like I never had time to make friends. On the weekends, all my roomates were often gone doing their own thing, and I was often to myself for most of the day. It doesn't help when it constantly gets pointed out how much time I spend by myself in my room.
To make matters more complicated, the classes I take for school are for the most part in a building two blocks away from everything else, and there are significantly less people there. I can't hang out with most of them because they just commute there. It's been real rough, especially because life has felt so much less meaningful without the ability to really emotionally invest into someone. It's just felt like the same old boring routine and that nothing of value was accomplished long-term. I just feel so apathetic coming out of this school term. It felt like it just happened. Ok. Whatever. Moving on.

My best friend became a part of the fake, popular girls group at school and she completely changed. We used to talk every day, but we haven't had a real conversation in months now. We talked about it once and agreed to try to get our friendship back, and went skating once, but she is so fake now. Most of my other friends have shifted away too. I am starting to find new friends, but I am horrified of not being popular (which I now realize I was last year) and being part of a friend group that is considered weird by the popular ones.
I am constantly anxious and become frustrated by anything because seeing my old friends having small talk with basically everyone except me is exhausting.

Hello psych2go!
If you read this I just wanna say thank you for giving a lot of tips, I keep feeling that my mental health and depression is getting better just by listening to your advice. It changed a lot in my life in a good way and I'm grateful I found some like you all. Also seeing others here listening to your advice makes it feel more comfortable and it's nice reading how others are doing, there are of course bad times but talking about it or taking advice is the thing I saw a lot reading just the comments, it's lovely, how people still wanna help others even tho they don't know each other.
I thank you all

Thank You all at Psych2Go. I, as a young person, did not see alone as an option growing up. Not that the quality of not being alone was that exceptional. Several year's later the alone time's are not as daunting as previously. For the last few years I have lived alone. The beloved pet's have gone, the wife too. The vast difference between alone and lonely is a distinction that has been spotted in several aspects of living. To cross the two is cause to backtrack so as the meaning's don't lead to a confusion in term's, I possibly have over simplified the term's, except in my life, at time's simplicity was the basis of understanding.

Can I just say that, aside from the useful and supportive content, these videos always have the sweetest, cutest _animations. _ They really convey emotions well, and the artist(s) and animator(s) deserve kudos. Sometimes they bring out _my_ emotions, and for example make me say aww for the sad-looking character on the screen. Other times they make me smile or even chuckle, like the pizza delivery guy at 4: 04 with the pizza slice on his hat. In that same scene, by the way, I love the friend sitting with the isolated friend and saying pizza's on the way.

You really posted this at the perfect time. I've been going through a time at school where I'm so confused with my friendships because of my constant overthinking and inability to trust others. And at the same time there are so many problems I'm facing with my family as well.
This has resulted in me being afraid of being alone. And even in school when my friends don't hang with me I feel like I'm all alone and that people are making fun of me for being lonely.
It's actually really hard especially because it's high school which is filled with drama.

I don't have a single close friend with whom I could share my hobbies and interests and even problems. There are 5-6 people with whom I talk to, but they don't talk to me for long time, they just try to end the conversation ASAP or they don't even talk to me. their interest in movies/series is having a huge difference from mine, they are interested in programs telecasted on tv, k-pop songs, while i prefer hollywood movies or netflix series, their hobbies and interests are also different from mine. their thinking and my thinking is very different.

I used to have friends, or maybe I still have. Idk, I don't want to get in touch with them. I've started to isolate myself from them for any good reason. I just. no longer feel comfortable with people around me. Don't get me wrong, I love being around people, I try to teach them something or help them when there's a chance; but I hate to interact with people that don't care about me or fake caring just to get something. And now this feeling goes for everyone, even those how 'maybe care'. Yep. I feel alone and it seems is my fault hahah: 'v

I have grown use to my loneliness. I have one friend that has been in my life for 33 years, we talk occasionally and I feel good afterwards. In recent years, the past 10 - 12, people have become my friend but they fade into the ether once we are not working together anymore. Even after we part ways and I continue to try and reach out to them. But my one friend has always been there for me and I've been there for him. Your videos are great and I love watching them. I share them with people that I think would help. :)

In my life, I'm lonely.
Because, I'm living in a depressed environment, everyone's around me are depressed and it's been killing me.
And God, I feel the responsible to cure them but I give no damn cause I don't know psychology. But these stuffs makes me feeling like a failure.
Every positive person I've seen, all of 'em are in the internet, it seems impossible to have me greeting with positive person.
I'm left alone, and trying to make a plan to escape from this gdmn environment

Hey everyone. Ive got a dating question (not related to the video. I (M22) met this girl (F29) about a month ago and weve been hanging out once a week doing crafts and getting to know each other. It turns out we got quite a bit in common and shes also the same disability that I do (autism & anxiety) I want to ask her out but I dont want to say it too soon but not too late either, so how long do you guys wait to ask out your crush? Any other advice will be greatly appreciated!

What I learned in this life: if you feel that nobody needs you, it is usually because there is one specific person who does not need you and you feel that you need them. It is an illusion. There are so many lonely people right on the same block, so much work that needs your hands, so many children who need a teacher. Volunteering is ALWAYS there and so many people NEED our company.
It is all about that one person, every time.

I have always only had one or two friends at a time because it is hard to find people who share the same core beliefs as me and I like to be able dedicate more time to them. Being homeschooling in high school at the moment makes it hard to meet people as well as find good people my age. I really don't think I know anyone I am close enough to who I would share my personal problems with except my family.

I'm 29 and the only friend I have is imaginary. No one calls, no one texts, no one emails and no knows me well enough to notice any change in my personality. Everybody seems to busy with the friends they already have. Its like being a park bench. Your just there as part of the surroundings. No one notices and no one cares untill they need you. And then you are forgotten about again.

I'm not sure if you've done a recent video regarding people suffering long term virginity into their late 20's to early 30's and the social anxiety that can come with that and the insecurities that also come with long term virginity. And the fear of how other who are having lots of intercourse with either one or more partners would look at you differently and treat you like a child still.

Your thumbnail says feeling alone as either a question towards the viewer missing punctuation or a state of being by itself, however, the title of the video says fear of feeling alone. I feel a mix of confused and mislead, as feeling alone and a fear of feeling alone seem to be two related, but separate conditions and/or topics of discussion.

I have always been alone because I am Aspie and people thought isolation was beneficial for me. I would not say so. Of course I like spending time on my own as it is important for everyone. But, however, I have noticed it is far more beneficial to spend some time with other people.

Do not accept the company of people who feign friendship for the purpose of betrayal. Better to be alone! It is important above nearly all else, excepting creature comforts, to know how to be a friend & then friendship will follow. How to be a friend? Good question!

Loneliness is a virtue, like any bad thing it makes people move and do right things.
As example It's not pleasure to eat food because it's delicious, but because it's solving the dangerous and painful hunger. Pain gives purpose to life, not pleasure.
