Dr. B. People don't decide to be lonely; it is something that happens because of circumstances. There is social, emotional and spiritual loneliness. Some people can go to parties and meet people, but they miss stronger connections with people. I went to a church single's party a few years ago and I tried to start conversations with people but was really hard. I am a public relation person with years of experience, but I couldn't start conversations on a church group. Nice looking people always attract attention. I saw a case of two sisters, one very nice looking and the other less attractive. It was amazing the difference in social life. Money also helps. People that have money attracts more people. I did an observation in Florida among elderly people. The ones with high income had a better social life. I was unemployed a while ago and was like leprosy in biblical times. When you lose your job you lose your honor, your dignity and respect.

So true. When you lose your job or source of income people tend to see you as worthless, you add no value to the friendship table. Without a job especially as a man no one wants to even hang out with you. It's so heartbreaking coz people you really trusted start to isolate you, avoid you or even just ignore you. It hurts but at the same time I understand

Agree! Also can be a good thing if you’re a Buddhist or other Eastern religious person. It means you’re closer to God

I don't need socialization, I have youtube

Well guess I’m fucked

Thanks for your motivation but you should take your own advice also, this video is nothing but bullshit, my father spent all of his childhood like 24 years alone basically, had a terrible relationship with his family and worked in farms 24/7 with no human interaction whatsoever, as long as you can manage your stress wether by socializing or playing video games (i'd recommend exercise tbh) you're good to go. chatting with people online or reading books can also help, try to be a bit organized. hope this helps you, no one dies of loneliness i swear! :)

​@@asimjTo add to what you're saying, Hiroo Onoda was a Japanese soldier in ww2 who was instructed to stay and wait on an island in the Philippines for the rest of his group. His instructions were to never surrender and to wait for them to return, and to ignore it if the US claims the war is over. He did just that for 30 years before finally some hippie kid found him and convinced him that the war was actually over. The dude survived 30 years in PURE isolation.

Yeah Doc, but what kind of society we live in? I'll rather be isolated than hang out with self absorbed idiots.

This explains me. Thank you!

idk how I feel about this. Sometimes, social isolation is a coping mechanism from serious trauma. When you get hurt enough times, you stop trying to interact with people. That's what agoraphobia is. I haven't left my apartment except to take out trash in weeks. I feel good. I'm calm, relaxed. I even refuse to talk to my family anymore because I'm tired of feeling invalidated by their gaslighting. It's better for me to be left well alone.

R u sure? I feel great being ALONE! I must be a GREAK!

I want to die as quickly as possible the sooner the better but I feel like my mind is sharper than it’s ever been.

It's easier just being closed off. Tried making friends. I finally gave up. People are too self-absorbed & shallow.

Well that explains a lot.

Maybe this video is only for Extrovert people. But for introvert like me, i'm okay with or without friends. I'm fine being alone it is very peaceful to me. Being alone is freedom to me.

It’s hard having a disability that affects communication. I have found being around less people have benefits for me.

Eastern religion teach the opposite. Being alone is healthier and more closer to the creator.

been socially isolated since a child when am i dying

People have been programmed to be socially needy and they find being alone boring but what is boring are these people because they can't stand to be alone with them selves.

I'm alone and I love it. I'm a misanthrope. My only contact with other people are when I have to interact with store clerks. Even then, I prefer self-checkouts. I don't know why this video showed up in my recommended feed.

Agreed

from an evolutionary perspective, dying from lonliness makes sense, because whats the point in being alive if you are alone, no one to share life with. nature is actually helping you by removing you from existance, not to sound harsh but you are no good to anyone so you have no reason to live. it's actually fascinating how our social situations determine our biological condition. i'm likely gonna die within the next 3 years anyway so i have nothing to complain about.

Wow...Debbie downer! I think that's the opposite! Half the time getting involved with people there's nothing but waste time. Listening to their never ending neurotic problems! Good God all they do is complain and whine about how bad their life is. Being in a serene environment or even If I have to be around people but free of the attachments is completely liberating! Your outlook is fatalistic as Hell ! Carpe Diem is my motto

GG not only social isolated, but I guess I will die aswell!

Not at all! only if you want to be. I do twice as much when I'm alone. Hiking kayaking meditation circles dining. Being alone and/or isolated is amazing. That other mentality is neurotic AF

There's a huge difference between loneliness and isolation. To be isolated unwillingly can feel lonely, but it's an external thing that you cannot control. Internal isolation can be a choice, but it can also be a choice motivated by trauma and lifestyle or something you prefer socially every once awhile for how much you are able to socially interact. Being isolated can have it's negative trade marks, but it can also have it's positive. There are horrible people out there who unfortunately are manipulative and bullies that only have the pleasures of looking forward to destroying other people, and sometimes it's right where you are the weakest, which is socially

Indeed; being alone is fine; being sociable on occasion is not a bad idea either. Our choice!

I disagree, tired of dealing with everybody's bullshit, friends, and family. Rather, deal with 2 or 3 people. People's problems that are close to you are the worst problems. They never go away.

So, loneliness will make the suffering last less and possibly even provide a natural suicide? Can't complain.

This video ain’t make anything better thank you for making things worse
