This world is expensive and actively hostile to teens. I wanted to snowboard this winter, but it was too expensive. Plus, I live in a suburb separate from literally all my close friends. So while they’re all having fun with each other, I’m stuck at home most of the time.
I ended up turning to Clash of Clans to cope with this social isolation, and I’m worried that I’ll grow addicted to it, but I don’t see much of an alternative. I’ve also tried listening to music, but now it makes me want to cry thinking about the life I used to have that I won’t get again, or a life I never had, such as a relationship. On that subject, a lot of my close friends already have boyfriends. I don’t bring that up because I don’t want people thinking I’m selfish or narcissistic.
Teenage life is hard, and our problems constantly get dismissed. No wonder so many teens are depressed, aggressive, and turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Give us a break!

I have a suggestion too
There is a very dangerous phobia which develops in childhood and remains throughout the life as trauma called 'ballistophobia' that is, the fear of projectiles like a stone, ball, belt, pencil etc
This could ruin someone's life like mine. My trauma originates from abusive childhood and strengthened by an incident few years ago when suddenly the window of my room broke and a huge piece of hit the wall just 2 or 3 inches away from me
Had I moved from my position at that moment. My head would had been chopped off
Since then I even fear the vehicles on the road and avoid to go outside on something like two wheelers and would prefer to walk
And about making friends. I am not able to play because I would try to defend myself and get away from the ball instead of catching it and passing to others in my team
Please read this and I hope you do something about it

for me, its the fact that misinformation can be spread so easily. Just for context, I am a furry. Due to so many false things being spread about the community, many people I know hate furries, including some of my friends. Due to that, I dont feel comfortable talking to many of them and the fact that everyone in my class does too does not make it better. Thats why I have to hide it from most people, which just makes me feel even worse, since I know that if they found out, they would not treat me well. All this got me really addicted to virtual reality, VR Chat to be specific. Since there I can be around people like me that will accept me how I am. Now I dont want to stop seeing them, since I now got so attached to them.

the warmth and connection of a genuine human conversation. Wow, I couldn't have said this better myself! Honestly even though I mostly text friends and other family members, interacting with them in-person(or at least via a phone call)can help me maintain a REAL and proper connection with them. Of course, that's not to say connecting with others via text is bad or anything. It's just communicating through other methods(such as meeting up in-person)has more value to it(if that makes sense. Fantastic video Psych2go!
Side note, do you know the name of the background music you've used in this video It sounds really peaceful and relaxing. And I believe you've used in a previous video.

I too am having a tough time of it. Had to give up on a 20 year friendship because of this. The surface talks and lack of empathy just wasn't cutting it anymore and wanting to connect on a deeper level just seemed to be too foreign to her. It broke my heart and I'm still grieving that friendship but I had to let it go. Sometimes I feel I sabotaged it, but other times I know that in this stage of my life I couldn't do with the surface level superficial connections anymore.

I feel alone because I feel misunderstood and can't form bonds or connections with anyone. If anything, I feel broken in so many ways on the inside and not sure what to do or even begin to fix anything.
I like to meditate because it had been very beneficial to me. Now, it's not and I'm just drifting in the current of life. Either wishing I found a solution or answer to alleviate my internal suffering or I'm wishing I don't wake up in the morning.

I don't know, but sometimes i feel that doesn't matter for where i go, i keep in the same place. Life goes very slow these days. The sadness it's horrible. It's easy to lose the perspective in the future. And the loneliness just doesn't go away. I used to watch movies and read books to keep myself busy and happy, but these things don't work anymore. It's almost like my soul was melting and i was going to disapear. Anyone feeling the same

There was a time when I went to a nice country side and I realized that technology feels kind of unnatural. There is something unnatural about communicating with bots. I think it ties into this video. Maybe it is unnatural to be able to contact someone anytime.
I went to the country side for a week, but I did miss the more modern life eventually lol.

I just don't feel connected anymore, had at one point a good group of friends but now they're getting into relationships, starting families or moving. I tried to keep in touch, but when you're the only one who reaches out and no one reaches back it's very disheartening. I have never been so lonely and isolated when no wants to make time for you.

I almost feel like the internet era of people connecting online is completely over and it's far more used for dividing people nowadays. Internet addiction is even harder when you realise you don't even like the internet yet you can't get yourself off it because of a search for escapism away from a lonely real life. It's a vicious cycle.

I just want to say, as lonely and superficial as the world can be, there are still many genuine and kind people out there who will make really great friends. It’s just a matter of finding them. Even if you’re feeling lonely and think it’s hopeless, don’t give up

Thank you psych2go.
Is there any suggestion or habits I can add to my life so that I reduce my procrastination habits, because it's really starting to affect me not only in my studies but also in real world encounters. Also Thank you for the video.

I just feel the pressure. I don’t have time to develop, the world is developing too quickly (for me. So strange. Not so long ago people didn’t know what the Internet was, but now it’s difficult without technology. World, where are you rushing to

I'm not so lonely but my thought and observations about my surroundings and environment are always true, i don't know if it's for all people but my instinct from my introverted sides and mathematical and chess skills are actually functioning

I always feel alone. NO one will reprimand me first. I'm the one who should be reprimanded, I'm a shy coward: if I was the one to reprimand, I was afraid of saying the wrong thing when I reprimanded. what a blink I said this

While all of this IS true, there are many people (like me) who are unable to travel and meet with people in the outside world.
Thus, social media is the best means we have to meet with people

We are speaking to millions, but talking to no one. We can chat to everyone, but we cannot open up to anybody. We meet thousands of people, but we really don't know anyone.
