Bro, check your source, RIP robin williams

@@Chris-en1ym ....Bro, please feel free to correct my source if I am wrong.

No, I mean with respect to robin williams, he did commit suicide right, so probably not the best guy for wisdom on loneliness.

🤔 I acknowledge that Mr. Williams's contribution to our lives and his legacy far exceeds his closing act.

​@@Chris-en1ymit wasn't loneliness, he was ill..

It's so bizarre the number of people who are concerned that I'm "lonely" They're so concerned that they insist I'm lonely and just won't admit it, or I'm in denial. They'll say they feel so sad for me, knowing I'm alone 🤔 This is due to the constant brainwashing of the general population that they have to be constantly socializing, around people etc. There are even studies and "scientific documents" stating that humans are social by nature. All to the point where those who prefer to be alone are viewed as odd, or someone to be suspicious or wary of... "What's their deal?" It is labeled as a "social disorder"... The reality behind this, is that people who are a true introvert, or who aren't easily brainwashed, manipulated and controlled on a social level, tend to think independently, and clearer than others who are drawn into the trap, and the fog of constant propaganda. and propaganda isn't just about or related to only politics, it can be used to create a desired society for elitist types. a society which is easily mass manipulated and controlled. We're basically potentially dangerous to the overall program, which is why we have to be placed.in and categorized in a certain way which makes others feel uneasy and untrusting of us. If anyone reads all this, most will view it all as "crazy talk", because that's what they're programmed to think. The entire subject is all about creating an easily manipulated and controllable general population... regardless of how long it takes, the goal is set, and those involved want to be a part of the group which succeeded in that accomplishment. It is part of the driving force in their lives.

HALLELUYAH.AMEN. I KEEP TELLING THIS TO FOLK'S. NOT MY FAULT IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND ME😮🎉

living in solitude is my way of life how ever people think i am like this as a result of lacking soical skills which isnt truth its has more to do with the fact i dont crave other peoples company and been subjected to alot of abuse has made me value peace over people

@@opticalman6417 exactly, it's not a "social disorder"... it's a solution and a reaction to an ever degrading society. I'm right there with you. My solitude is the result of much time and thoughts about what I am, and am not willing to deal with from others around me. General society is where the real disorders exist.

contentment is the goal. Have learned many people have double lives.

True, and everyone who calls Jesus in their life can have that true friend who will absolutely never disappoint.

@@grayguy3619 That one comment tells me everything I need to know about you as a man.

For me, a true friend is much more than someone who likes me. I’ve had people who liked me for what I could do for them. When they no longer needed my help, they dumped me. Would you call such a person a true friend?

@@donaldmickunas8552< no, but sadly, that is how it often is, and with family too.

@@edie4321 indeed.

Tighten your shoe strings or slip on some slippers either or your boxing boots or your workbooks, slippers I say , for more than a day...and grief n loss may have their nature way... happy days are if we genuinely enjoy a goodnight sleep😊

Yes, but worse is betrayed by one's spouse. A friend's loyalty has boundaries unlike a spouse who has sworn his/her loyalty in sickness and in health.

Betrayal by a brother hitting on your wife is even worse.

Not when you realize they were never a friend to begin with.

It's their problem though, not yours. OK, you trusted them and got hurt but they've got to live with that meanness, nastiness, evilness even in my case. But I'm still gonna trust, still believe because the next person who comes along does not deserve me being negative, withdrawn, cynical. I'm nearly 60, and been hurt many times. But I've also been loved too, I am loved. And I love myself but I'm not going to change myself just because someone else isn't whole within their own self. That's not my problem. I'll move on, find new people, have fun and be me. Merry Christmas everyone. Xxx

@@christinacastell-ott6811 ty for your kind words and yoU are welcome! There is/are a vast amount of specie Life, outside of the hUman world but not All are disttacted. Those in concern, just need a hUg from the Understanding and trUe meaning (defaUlt - start point of a semi-coherent/ coherent Self via Awareness of Self, Awareness of surrounding, and Awareness of Self in surrounding) of what one's Life means to Self and what Life (in it's entirety) means itself. We hUmans are very delicate to influences outside of Self but still completely precioUs, always.

no offense but this sounds like cope, isnt it like a basic human instinct/desire to want to socialize? Edit: y’all are disagreeing with me so I feel like ur not understanding. For those of u who have been outcast or put down by “friends” in the past, grow up, life throws shit at u, just get up and keep walking, if u have had bad experiences with trying to have friends that doesn’t mean u should give up on trying to make friends. Finding the right friend group that’s filled with quality friends is only a matter of how hard u try. Having real friends does not make your life less peaceful, and if that’s the case, they’re not your real friends, don’t be content on being a loner just because no one wants to be your friend. Having true friends is one of the most beautiful things in life, and yes it’s hard to achieve that, but don’t let the difficulty discourage you from trying to make friends, it is very possible to have perfect friends, just look in the right places, and in some cases, own up to the fact that maybe you are the reason your friends of the past dropped u, everyone has issues and if your issues caused u to lose friends, then you should work to solve your problems rather than just saying you’re okay with being alone, because no one likes loneliness, and whoever says that they are fine with being lonely clearly hasn’t experienced loneliness.

​@@niqk8712t really but people forget that while we're built for social interaction we're not bound to it also as she mentioned it's not the quantity friends that matter but the quality... And I'm sorry to inform you but as stated in this video these people are very rare...

Facts

​​@@niqk8712 I was extremely social all my life until I got to my 30s. Then I began craving the peace of just being home alone. I really actually enjoy being by myself, and I believe quite a lot of other people do to. Once you go to work and are forced to interact with people, or go to appointments or meetings or whatever, it's a wonderful feeling to come home and just be peaceful and quiet. You're only your absolute true self when you're alone. But, I do know people who need much more social interaction. Seems exhausting to me! 😂

@@niqk8712 you haven’t been burnt out by many. It takes a while to heal.

Sadists...should look into the Dark Triad of Personality (narcissism, Machiavelism, psychopathy). Unfortunately it's frequent these days.

Yea I agree, that's probably the toughest one.

I had a best friend since I was about 7 yrs. old....like a brother to me (so I thought). I went thru a divorce in my mid-30s and I used to call him almost everyday, often in the middle of the night for solace (he lived in another state). He was always there for me getting out of bed at 2am to listen to my mental anguish. He died at 43 yrs. old about 4 yrs. after my divorce and his death took me to my knees once again. Time moved on and many years after I began to put complicated pieces of the puzzle together, piece by piece and I then saw it all. He was a instrumental in "orchestrating circumstances" that resulted in the divorce --I never saw it or conceived of that possibility at the time. He answered my distress calls because he was loving to hear the pain and sucking up the negative energy---he fed off it. He was a Freemason which meant nothing to me at the time but opened the door to reality once I learned of the "brotherhood." In retrospect he actually did me favors. His lies separated me from a narcissistic wife and his death liberated me from "medicated pain."

Bollox to those people, it's all just part of your own personal development you end up a more complete and contented person through hardship and disappointments expect nothing but always be kind to people we all have our crosses to bare ; )

Because like their father, the devil, they do as he does. A murderer from the beginning. They seek to steal, kill, and destroy. "Cast not your pearls before swine, lest they trample them, and turn again and rend you."

@@xdrazormon454 😔

I just realised also some people decide to be alone because it's not sweet feeling to realise that that you cannot blame your friends for what's happening in your life except yourself

@@cynthiahotieno146 Exactly!

@@xdrazormon454 Same. The people I thought were my friends ended up not being friends at all. I have acquaintances, but no real friends - and I'm okay with that. The more I'm around people in general, the less I like them (family included).

that´s what I am saying too. :)

I love being alone. I enjoy my own company without ever being bored or lonely. If I want to be around people there is the library, senior center, etc. Or I can call any of my friends whom are always glad to hear from me.

Exactly! I'd much rather be alone (not lonely, BIG DIFFERENCE). I can focus all my energy and time on the things I want, without having to play mind games with "friends". The older I get, the more I realise most people deep down don't give a shit about you. There will be some people who do, those people I absolutely keep in my life. But it's VERY RARE. If you ever have a bad feeling in your stomach about your friends, it's probably true. Listen to that gut feeling people. I should've done it sooner, so many times, with so many people. Learn to enjoy life on your own, if you can pull that off, like I finally have, NOTHING can fucking stop you. 💙

I have also been through this took me a long time to learn my lesson. Peace and blessings upon both of you.

What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing ⭐️🥲

Dammit ... I qualify except I haven't a clue about baseball. Or cricket. Or any so-called 'team' so called 'games'. The mis-named 'team spirit' is another word for unleashed but legal Nasty. But I treat all people, young and/or old, as if they were me. It seems to work. No need to be nasty, even to the nasty; there's often a reason for their nastiness ... gently popping the bubble and letting the nasty out often reveals the nice behind the persona.

When I was younger I had so many friends that I think I took to many for granted. They all seemed to be genuine and Real. Looking back I think that I should have been a more caring and tolerant of them. Now that I'm in my early 60s I live alone with my 18 plus year old Cairns terrier.i have a handful of ( Friends) but when I think about it do. Any of them really care about me. I lost my very best friend on August 6th 2018. My Mom, I know she cared since she passed I haven't spoken to my younger brother, or sister. Tried to make amends with my younger brother a couple of years ago, I told him I'd like to let bygones be bygones and I love him couse he's my brother. He looked at me and walked away without saying a word. They reason he won't talk to me is , when we were at the funeral I got really drunk and said that I would pay for everything casket, plot, headstone etc. when she passed away, my little brother jumped on a plane and flew down to fla . While my older brother and I drove down. Gee I wonder why he wanted to get there so quickly. My mom left both him and I enough money to cover all the funeral costs. When we returned home I started thinking about how caniving he is . I know my mom gave him a conversation van. Well he turned around and sold it to me for 10,000. Dollars . When I asked him to at least pay for the headstone that I put on my credit card. He refused . So I told him I would cancel the Stone. Of course I wouldn't have. But he didn't know that. He had me meet him at a bank and fill out paperwork saying he payed the twenty five hundred dollars. Out of the money that she left for her final expenses. He wanted to pocket the whole amount. Unbelievable! He won't talk to me because of that. What a piece of work. The funniest part is that I love him because he's my brother , but I don't even like him as a person. He's an asshole. What a clown. Back to the friend thing. I have one friend, and two sorter friends. But like I said I lost my only real friend when I lost my mom . Dam I miss that woman. Well I guess that's all I can say about that.

it always seems those are ones who end up taking the shot, i remember somehwere in the book 48 laws of power they say that you are better off with an open enemy than you are with a friend, because one friend that turns on you, or secretly harbors resentment can do more damage than several enemies who are open, it even suggests your better off working with an enemy in some situations and i unfortunately have to say i can agree with that statement. ( that was a very rough paraphrase of what i vaguely remember from reading it probably 3 or 4 years ago , sad thats what stood out most).

BAMMM! UNDERATED COMMENT! I SO APPRECIATE YOU!❤🙏🏾

Sadly that is so true.

Or family

@@legionsarecoming4-u371 lmao my screen name for this used to be they call me legion for we are many lol ....unfortunately i lost the password and ya----

My dad used to say "Money does not buy friends it only rents them" I have 100's of acquaintances but very few friends.

Same thing happened to me. Business took a hit and "Where was everybody?" It was a moment of isolated depression, then I came across M.C.Hammer's tale. It provided a spiritual buoy for a good while. He was betrayed by many from his community that he employed as trends changed. I felt I wasn't the only one. Less friends now, but 100% better friends.

Friendship is expensive! It takes time, energy, and $$ to maintain friendships. When we get together with friends we don't always want to be sitting around on the porch talking, which can get boring & depressive (because we all end up sharing our woes). We want to go places and do things with each other. Even a simple lunch out can be costly considering the price of gas to drive there and the cost of the meal. Going anywhere together is going to cost some money and it adds up quickly. That is an issue for those without deep pockets. It isn't so much that people love or want you only when you have $ but the difference in income causes a big gap. Take those you work with for instance .. you might hit it off with several of them to the point of becoming good friends. Even though you all make the same salary, one of them has no spouse or kids to support making it easier for them to spend & save more than the person with many legit financial responsibilities. Even though the two are good friends & want the companionship, just going to lunch or a ballgame or movie is pocket change to the first person but can be a burden for the 2nd person who is struggling just to pay rent. It's great OCCASIONALLY if person #1 can help out & pay for person #2's way but that can get old real fast. Person #1 starts to feel taken advantage of and person #2 feels quilty & embarrassed at not being able to reciprocate, and they eventually stop spending time together. They don't care for each other any less, it's just the $ gap becomes an issue. It isn't the $ that's an issue, it's the GAP, and unless they find a way to bridge the gap, they will eventually part ways.

That´s life a store giving everything away for free and then wondering why it went out of business. I had a lot of whores until I get paying for it.

Same here . THE DAY I STOP WORKING. NO MONEY NO LIFE NO FRIENDS

Agreed. But it definitely takes a strong person to be alone. My decisions to put myself first will be felt this Christmas day when I spend it alone.

Maybe we expect too much from others? I remember what Dr. Phil said. Don't expect something from someone that they don't have! (Think about that)😊

I’m 69 and alone. Time makes the holidays less painful. When I drove truck, I made sure to drive at least five hours on the holiday. This made it just another work day.

@@kathycooper8824 Then don't say you are a friend if you cannot be a friend.

Really🥺Because I've been feeling unwanted all this time

​@@jeannemeiring30 I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way. It's important to remember that feelings of being unwanted are often just feelings. This can be easily influenced by current circumstances and not necessarily an accurate reflection of reality or our worth. Everyone at some point will experience moments of self-doubt and feelings of not being valued. But remember this: your value does not decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth!!! We all have intrinsic value, and sometimes it takes time for the right people to come into our lives who can truly appreciate us. Use this time to explore and understand your own worth, develop self-love and self-respect, pursue the things you are passionate about, surround yourself with positivity, and do what makes you feel happy. And always remember, it's okay to ask for help if you're feeling particularly low. Reach out to someone you trust and let them know what you're going through, it could make a huge difference! Good luck and stay strong!❤

Can't fault you. Wishing you well from one introvert to another. 😊

But then there's the question: do you need a friend on whom you can depend to be friendly and supportive in the emotional sense, but who can confer you no tangible benefit at all, no "apples", no "branches", no nothing - a friend who is poor themself but IS still a good friend? A friend like that could only hug you and offers words of sympathy when you need money, or house, or a boat - but nothing to help you with your woes. If you WANT to have such a friend still, that would mean that you YOURSELF may be a (potentially) good friend...

@@lorigulfnoldor2162 Yes, because a friend is not a bank, nor someone who is there to physically help you through your problems all the time. You might some times need it but considering someone a friend because of material belongings is shallow.

@@SilosNogatte can you stop yourself from beating yourself and blaming yourself for being unable to help a friend in a genuine need, when you have no resources to, though? i sometimes think that things like "friendship" evolved in human society when people were much more equal in their access to resources, so it was "either you can count on your friend, or you're in such a trouble that no one could help you anyway." If you are beaten by bandits, a friend can oil your wounds and help you get to place of healing. If a crocodile bit off both of your legs, your friend can hardly help you - but so hardly can anyone else. Nowadays it seems natural to either feel your own guilt, or anger at a society, when your friend is in need, buy you are empty-handed. Dealing with that sort of guilt, it's... not easy.

Believers in any religion will always have God with them ie Allah swt has been my safety net, my shoulder to cry on etc he knows what we cannot express in words but flows through tears & causes pain.

Yes 😔

I'm 69, expecting more from others than from yourself, is your first mistake. Maybe you should reflect on what you have done that may have disappointed those friends. People have a habit of looking outward instead of inside. Judge your own works first.

Almost every "friend" in my case too. Some were very surprising, never thought they'd drift away like that. However, on the other end, almost all of the few people who keep in contact with me are very annoying. They always run away with and dominate conversations before I get 5 words in. I don't even want to try to have conversations with them anymore.

THIS IS ME. Live for yourself and you only. People are people. To have friends youd have to buy with things.

That was why my late parents had so many of us. They were worried that once they are gone that if any of us were an only child then we would be all alone.

I agree with your wisdom and also put alot of thought into how and why life actually works. About 15 years ago I wrote a small book about what really drives life here in this world. My conclusion is that everything here is driven by the engine of Karma. Relationships included! If one doesn't have many friends or relationships, one should think of themselves as lucky because they also don't have too much Karma debt. Looked at closer, there is alot of stress, responsibility, loss of freedom, financial weight, etc in Relationships, especially marriages. Be happy you don't have to deal with all that stuff and enjoy aloneness. If one can do that, then "loneliness" will never show up. Two different birds!

It's like looking in mirror

Ya but what about when u get older and u have nobody?

Thank you for sharing your experience and sorry that happened to you.

Thank God we are not alone in this. We are totally normal people. 😊😊 😊

Never. Alone is good.

Being lonely and being alone are different things. My husband and I both prefer to be by ourselves. I don’t necessarily feed off of other people. That may change in the future, but it’s held true for us for quite a few years, now.

@@greyfox6665 I said I'm not alone in not having any friends. That doesn't mean I'm lonely!

Most Of my friends are my enemies.

Right.

😊👍

No one will ever know everything about me... until the day comes when we're all telepathic.

YES---they are nonexistent.

He likes your pain.

It may be even worse when a friend joins the hater side. Really hurts, but eh ... Everyone need to build their own lives, or ruin them. Not like i care about anyone, myself included.

Yup.

Your are expecting not trusting. If you trust then the results doesnt matter

Never!!

Instead of putting trust in others, be wiser to put that trust in yourself .. Period..

That is not true. You need to learn how to determine trustworthy people, and how to be one yourself. It's a two-way street, a relationship built over time.

Fair play to that 71yr old person. I thought l was the only one. I fully understand what you mean by the way you were raised and early experiences. I went through the same thing and by the age of 8yrs, it was all over for me and I didn't start school until I was 6yrs. Between the madness and the bullying at school I was just an outcast but I live away in my own world. I'm a woman and nothing rises me more than a click of women together, (all stories about everybody and whispering). I could never take that. Thank God I'm alone and you too Sir. Mind yourself. May God watch over the weak. The Holy Spirit is the even spirit of truth. That's what the Bible calls him in the book of John. So true, I've experienced it in my own life since I became a Born Again Christian. The Holy Spirit never lies and he speaks to my heart by thought.

You are lucky. I still have 1-2 close friends now. I had a best friend that passed away and lost 2 close friends along the way. But having 1-2 close friends is good enough for me.

U R!

You're blessed on many levels.. Best to you and your friends

Bless you sir you are a wealthy man to of had 3 friends for 60 year's 🤔❤

You are blessed 🙌 😇

🎯

Absolutely unfortunately

There’s a thing about friendship…… I’m going to look at myself…… what kind of friend am I myself?

sounds like victim-speak@@froggylegspeople

@@8188jlpc That’s how you see it, I don’t 😄

Agreed 👍

U can say.that again!!!

Same story here, Nancy.

Me too Nancy . Quality over quantity every time.

Watch your back.

My bestie died of cancer in 2018.

Amen🙏❤️🇦🇺

Are you trustworthy, reliable, without hidden agendas......etc ?

lol

There should be no jealousy between real friends but that's how we loose them ..!

@@Kirkee7 YES!!!! THAT’S what pisses me the fuck off about people!!!! When i deduced that it appears most (90%) of the world 🌎 are the opposite, that’s when i became a recluse for the most part!!!!

So called friends cut your throat as soon as you turn your back! My husband is my only friend! I am good with that!

Same here. I really enjoy the peace and quiet of being alone. Don't have to deal with any b.s.

@@Freshadventures_ Well the self is found in the solitude but happiness in a mutual bond!

Well, I don't know that it's a *wonderful* indication, but it's absolutely true. I know, cuz I'm the one who's too real and genuine. People don't know how to take me, cuz there so few people who have the courage to be themselves anymore.

@@srvntlilly Well one must learn to be all one needs which is found in the solitude!

My kids and I are the same, acquaintances...not many friends tho

My whole twenties has taught me this.

Thank You... One of the things I tell people suffering from loneliness & depression is to volunteer to help those less fortunate. One day a week helping the homeless & those without food to eat changes your perspective on life. & You're socializing with no expectation of a relationship.

Great idea!

That's awesome! Build your treasures in Heaven!!

Great idea

Great idea🎉

I hear you.

Imagine if you were married to that same person for 16 years. It sucked...

Damn that just hited hard..i was seeing a girl and we had something but we didnt know each other at all..we rain into things ways toi fast and yet again im alone. I miss her And i hope she misses me too.

Dang bro 16 years, what did you walk in on?

@@maxpower92 The realisation you've spent 16 years with someone who was faking it all along!

I agree. I stoped looking or wanting friends. Some would say it's moping. No I disagree. When you find yourself like the apple tree you just don't want it anymore. Animals however have proven to be true friends.

Very true and true to you and your day is good ⚖️

I feel you. I’m a 37 year old guy here and this is pretty similar to my situation. When I do try to reach out to people they are toxic and use me. Even family and I’m over it. So I started just doing me. I tried meeting new people, but it’s like I’m a magnet for people to walk all over me. So now it’s pretty much just me. I have one friend I’m holding on to, but thinking about letting her go because she likes to get jealous and make snide comments. I do feel deprived of intimacy and socializing and having a sense of community. Im an introvert even, but still miss the human interaction.

@@OceanLover805 What are you guys doing to fix that? Are there any changes of actions and habits to ensure you’re meeting new and likeminded people?

Perhaps you should go out and do community activities, enjoy people's company without expecting anything. Maybe something deeper will form, maybe it won't but you can still just enjoy the stimulation of interacting with folk. Be happy with yourself and in yourself and maybe don't expect others to make you so? A friend in need is a friend indeed...and also extremely rare. Sadly.

@@lucidevlin I’ve tried meeting up with family that I’ve never met before, making friends and even dating at one point. They all are crazy lol. They become jealous and controlling and all around toxic. Like I have 1 friend that I’m holding on to, but honestly need to let her go. She likes to make jabs like “my car isn’t as nice as yours” or “It must be nice that you get to go do that”. It’s always snooty and that’s how they all been. It really makes me sad because when a friend of family member tells me something exciting about them I’m really excited for them and happy. It’s like I can’t be happy about my achievements around people or happy about anything really without them getting jealous or ignorant to me. Sometimes I’m like was a cursed damn!

When you move through the world alone you experience it so much more intensely. You learn to be in a space with others of our species and feel how you are all connected, no need to cling to just one in which to reflect yourself. It can be quite beautiful to be alone.

That is so very true

so true. I'm definatelly agree

Buddha teaches that half of human unhappiness comes from too much attachment to the things that we like. The other half comes from too much aversion to the things that we don't like.

Loneliness does hurt, but yes, attachments can hurt even more!

That is like saying I am never going to get a dog to avoid the pain when they die. Meanwhile you missed years of experience, enjoyment and memories. Does not sound like much of a life. I would rather just not place expectations of others and let myself just be surprised by decent people. I find good people around all the time.

exactly

Amen.

yes man trust me let them go forever

AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN 🎉🎉

Me too

Our creator is a jealous God and we truly should only seek satisfaction in His provision.

It’s funny how everybody only worries about who they were an apple tree to, but never think about who was an apple tree to them

I have always been the tree and have never had a tree to pull from 😢 this hits home on so many levels

@@rebekahhamilton6146 😢

How are you doing now?

Yep I know what you're saying..had a friend once that told me if you help someone and expect a thank you then you're doing it for the wrong reason...took years for me to understand what he said...but then again maybe they will pass it forward...still someone calling now and then would be nice.ohhh wellll...stay strong..

@@jackwilson4722 👍

I have five friends my shadow👤 my two 🐈‍⬛🐈cats and my two🐕🐕 dogs.... is there a true friend out there . 🤣😂😅

but how much better is life now

I am close to the end of my road and your dad is so right ...on one hand

True but dont associate with people like that in the first place. Its like getting a bad exchange rate on your dollar bill

That is so true !

It still hurts either way. Trust me.

why do u have expectations of others? who are you to make such demands?

There is no need for friendship for me personally
