It's funny, I love being alone, I just hate being lonely. I mean, not much that can be done, I've got work to do, I'd love to actually be able to maintain a good relationship, but I just honestly can't. I honestly can't remember the last time someone sent me a message to just talk to me, say hi, or just ask how my day was. I'm fine with people reaching out to me when they need a hand with something, whether it be school related, need me to check something for them, or get something for them, and I'll continue to help them because it's the right thing to do. I just wish someone would say oi, Arthur, how've you been buddy but I also don't think it's their fault, all I know is my work, and don't get me wrong, I love what I do, but at times I do wonder if I'm pouring so much of myself into it that there's non of it left to give to others. It's honestly hypocritical of me to say that, because when I reach out to people it's specifically to talk about work. I honestly don't think I've managed to maintain a single platonic relationship ever since adulthood.
The funny thing is I'm great at making friends, I don't have a shred of hatred for anyone I'm friendly with, and they get along with me, but the issue is that I have issues maintaining these relationships. Maybe I'm worried that I'm bothering someone when I reach out to them, maybe I'm selfish and want attention but am unwilling to give it, maybe I'm afraid of having a deep connection with someone. Whatever it may be, I don't like the results of it regardless. I'll be fine, I'd argue I am fine I'm just going through a bad few weeks is all, it happens to the best of us, I could probably just wait it out, and then I'd be sad or worried about something else.

I think I’ve experienced all four stages of loneliness. It’s been almost two years nowfirst being away from home and now being back, but without friends around. As an introvert, I always felt awkward going to social events alone, so I avoided them. Growing up, I was known as the quiet kid’ until one year in high school forced me out of my shell. After that, I gained confidence, but moving away afterward for exam prep brought loneliness back. I felt ashamed to admit it, even with family around, because I had people around me but I felt very emotionally distant with everyone. Then the following year, I experienced the biggest blow yet. I went through a very hard failure. Then came depression. And you know how that goes. Things went a little 'out of control' this time so I started to seek professional help. It's been a long journey and I feel I've come a long way, though I'm still in the process of healing and improving. I think for me, what helped me most cope with loneliness is that I learned to accept my past, my circumstances and myself as a whole. I feel statisfied with the way things are now considering the situation I'm in. What motivates me everyday is to focus on my exams and give my all to the future, so I can start a new chapter.

I've been familiar with the feeling of loneliness for so long. It's been years since I've ever had just a casual conversation with anyone. It already sucks to have spent the majority of my teenage years having built no social relationships to last, it's even worse to feel that I'm still losing the bond I have with my family, the people that I've had my whole life
But what's weird is that in recent years, i've kinda been able to ignore that feeling That pain that I get thinking about how lonely I am, wishing that somebody does care about me, seem to come and go so swiftly I still recognize that it's something negative, just that it doesn't bother me anymore, and I don't know why
Maybe I'm messed up in the head, maybe I am just that weird Maybe I felt lonely for long enough, I've numbed down to it Maybe I've gotten so used to the feelings, it's messed up my sense of emotion Or maybe I've lost the ability to feel at all
I just don't know, and I'm too afraid that if I try to fix things, it'll start to hurt again

I had social anxiety (still have, but I've never been more open) due to being bullied. Went through several years of feeling really lonely (even though I think there was more going on. The important thing to look for is a community with the same interests and some shared world views. I started making music on an online platform, which has a strong social aspect. It was there that I discovered like-minded people. I tried to work on more trust and opening up to people irl too, after I've made some connections and got to a better community irl - due to going to a High School. Both of these environments helped me a lot (plus I got adopted by a super kind extrovert I think I can call a friend, not just aquaintance. Then I went to UNI with people who also like music, though I don't have the same connection with them as with my friends online. Online friends aren't ideal and not the final solution, but if you can find someone to share your emotions with, that don't want to exploit you, hang on to them.

I heard this quote once: It's hard to have confidence in yourself when the way you relate to other people is invented by a little kid. Which was related to the feeling of being invisible and feeling unheard. When you get bullied from a young age, the way you view the world is nobody likes me, nobody wants to be my friend and everybody hates me. and that combined with an unstable family situation can cause awful things.
I personally don't know the word 'friend' because I learned how to be alone and still being 'fine' from a young age, but I am feeling the aftermath now that I'm an adult. I am open minded and I'm trying to be the best version of myself but I notice that I cannot or having a hard time relating to other people, I don't see them as equals, I see them as 'better than me' because I still feel like the young me sometimes and that causes my loneliness. Nobody ever gave a shit about me, so I'm like, why would they give a shit now

I experienced chronic loneliness in adolescence. It was probably the worst thing a teenager could go through. Now that I’ve found a friend group in college, that’s been downgraded to emotional loneliness. I like my friends, but I wish I had a partner or someone I could bond with on a deeper level.
In other words, I’ve gone from being lonely and alone to lonely but not alone. To truly be not lonely and not alone, I know I need to be not lonely while alone. However, I don’t know how to do this, since I mostly base my self-worth on the approval of other people. Everyone tells me to just love myself/not try to base my self-worth on others, but they never show me how to do that. I don’t know if I’ll ever get out of it at this point.
I’m glad things are slowly looking up, though. Maybe I’ll finally get that closer connection I’ve always wanted when I’m still young. But then, I feel like that’s wishful thinking.

I think I'm all of these levels of loneliness.
I think I'm situational lonely, because I can get easily depressed in tough times.
Or social lonely, because I can make new friends at shcool (highschool) and still soooo shy to go outside on my own to play.
Or maybe emotional lonely, because I normally hide my feelings and emotions in tough times and sometimes even cry (I don't want to cry as a teen)
And Chronic lonely because, sigh, I, I can't explain.
But not lonely all the time of course. I do have fun with my classmates in school (but no real friends, maybe) and sometimes listening to my favorite songs: A Million Dreams, See You Again, Amazing Grace, etc.
But, when I became lonely and depressed, I just can't handle it. Yes, I think I can get 1-2 or 3 hours of being lonely, I think.
(Bruh, I just cried a moment and now feeling great, like why)

I havent watched yet but ever since i moved out around 2 years ago i have been very lonely. Our family dog moved in with me last year which has helped but i still lack human connection, people rarely reach out to me unless they want something and i am tired of being the person who makes plans because i used to do that with everyone i know besides family. Last weekend my aunt and uncle visited the city i live in, i asked as always if they have time to come visit(usually they dont) me since they visit everyone but turns out i was the only one they didnt have time to visit after all. They even drove an hour from their hotel to visit my great grandmother, just feels like i dont matter to people. In public i get startled if someone approaches me and i cant handle eye contact at all. Atleast i have my job which i like and my dog, hes a little cutie

It's horrible to feel like being lonely is the only state one can count on. It's also a distortion of reality. No answer is simple, but one must ask these questions:
- What is at the core of my pain that feeds my alienation
- What prevents me from making the connections Do I feel unworthy
- Do I use my loneliness as a protection from getting hurt
An amazing person once wrote:
I was standing in a crowd of people all alone.
Some talked of concrete; others, of stone.
Nothing of picnics or wheat fields back home.
The sky above was coldblackgrey,
And night became dawn, and dawn became day.
And all of the people seemed to fade away.
I was standing in a crowd of people all alone.

I was diagnosed some time ago with borderline personality disorder.
It's. very difficult for me. I always feel like there's something missing inside me, like a piece of my soul has been ripped out. Because of this, I've become a manipulative person and I do everything I can to make people like me, just to fill this empty space, but it never works, and it's literally gotten to a point where, honestly, it feels like I'm stuck, that there's no way out and that I'll stay like this forever.
I am very grateful for my family, friends and romantic partners and I know they care, but deep down, the love they give me is never enough.

I didn't know it had levels, personally, I've been lonely since 14 and now 28, I've had friends, but never a bestfriend, even less a relationship, even tho I have my family I don't have like a connection in the way like talking about stuff or feelings, I just know that they care about me, I guess if you have been lonely long enough it won't affect you, you just accept it, you can't miss feelings that you've never felt in the first place, and that's what I did, if I de alone, then so be it, after this video I'm kinda relieved that there's no effects on the body, just in the mind, I guess that's progress.

I have a friend of mine who is experiencing something related to chronically loneliness.
He never had close friends in real life, spends too much time on the internet and constantly time from time thinks about ending it all. I had already lost a friend to it. I don't quite know how to help but be patient with him, and trying to comfort him everytime he talks about how lonely he is. But it doesn't seem to end as he constantly gets in the cycle again.
I hope he breaks out of it, and don't have similar end to my other friend. It all online and far so I can't just hang out with them in real life sadly.

I am autistic and have never really understood people or felt understood myself. Ive felt like an outsider in every situation ive been in in my life. friends never stayed around once there was nothing forcing us together like school or classes. I had a mental breakdown and had no one for years. the one person i knew i could rely on and understood me fully, my dad died earlier this year. This video came out the day after i had a falling out with the only people who stayed in any contact since university and im feeling like im going to be all alone again.

this couldn't come at a better time. i started a bew job this week and it's so hard. with all the other workers knowing each other and having built connections already, and me having to get to know them and starting new relationships with everyone, i feel so alone. the only reason i don't go insane is because i have my family when i get back home. if it wasn't for them, I'd be gone. i feel so stressed getting to work and i know it's because I'm new and i know it'll get better over time as i get to know the job and the people, but still, it's so hard.

No family, no nearby friends - only buddies - and highly introverted and often misunderstood.
The early pandemic was one of the most relaxing and joyful time periods in my life so far and I wish it was permanent. Still, even I have to say that the times that I feel lonely, nothing seems to help and those who could help aren't just around the corner. The Internet is a mess these days, best thing is playing games all day long, having at least somewhat of the imagination that others play with you rather than xXPlayerName1337Xx.

I am definitely Level 4. I was neglected and shunned by my family. I have no friends. I don't ever meet someone unless I call them first. Nobody ever calls me. I have seen an endless list of therapists, but nothing ever changes. I went 3 years w/o a date, then 4 years w/o a date. Never had a girlfriend in high school or college. Just a couple friends, but one of them dropped me because I wouldn't join his cult. I married the first woman who gave me a chance, because I knew I'd never get another. I could go on and on.

Helpful reminder, if you don't have a good way to find someone or something to change your position at the moment, then the best person to connect to more is yourself, you spend every waking and non-waking moment with yourself, so ensuring you love yourself as much as you wish other people would, you ensure you're mentally well and capable of connecting with other people when that time eventually comes, so hold your head up high and get yourself something to drink, you deserve it for getting this far.

me at 30 with chronic loneliness, I’m too poor to afford nor do I have the time to have friends but I want to stop my co-dependency, cause I’ve never fit in anyways because of my autism I’ve been rejected by everybody my whole life including by my own parents. I just feel like an alien, I can’t fully connect with anybody. I part of me does want to connect, but another part of me thinks it’s better to just stay alone. I think I’m also getting signs of schizophrenia, especially at night.
