- Do you always feel alone? Even though you were with people, have you still felt somehow disengaged or removed from it all? You might be lonely. When loneliness goes unchecked, it can impact you in so many ways. We hope this video helps you take care of your happiness and health, by exploring some of the common causes of loneliness and what to do about it.
Previously, we also made a video on the signs you may be lonely: • 7 Signs You May Be Lonely
We also launched a Korean Dubbed channel too for those who might be interested:

I’ve found that Loneliness is more the absence of connection, than absence of company.
Well said
Indeed... and the absence of love.
So that's why I feel so lonely I can't never connect with people
@@nevel-luna5070 yhea same
@@motelsinger Yeah, hopefully we find people that we connect glad to know I am not the only feeling this way
Sometimes I feel like CZcams is trying to tell me something...

No that's not true you have a purpose in your life, your family and your relatives are counting on you. Maybe you should talk to them and tell them that you are alone or lonely and tell them the reason why are you lonely or depressed that way your family can understand what are you going through.
Same
@@cloudfluff79 aww thank you❤️ that made me feel better
Hey you. This is a positive sign.
You're not alone in feeling alone. You don't have to work 24/7. You don't have to keep torturing yourself. You are creative. You are brilliant. You got this. Stretch the corners of your mouth up to soak this truth in. May all your worries wash away and you start doing the things that make your heart sing.
💗 Dr. Liz
Thanks for your kind words :)

Thank you for this 💗
@@ismaelgarcia8243 of course!
@@extrashotofespresso_ lol amazing name
Being alone and being lonely are two different things. We need to be alone sometimes to embrace the solitude. While lonely? When we don't enjoy the solitude even when we are in the crowd if we don't enjoy the moment it makes us lonely and that can be one thing that cause us to be unhappy. Happiness really start from within.
“What doesn’t kill ya makes you stronger! Stand a little taller! Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone!”
I agree.
“Happiness starts with YOU. Not with relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with YOU.” 🙏🏽
Yea but i hate myself
And I thought it started with "h"
Jk
Give me your money and I will see u whether u happy or not.
Yea but i hate myself (2)
Haha yeah right...
Me who is 99% introverted: What is loneliness?
More like what is pain?
Loneliness is nothing
@Lone Wolf Nergigante I am emotionally numb all the time like a stone wall
As an INTJ I can still get lonely sometimes. My wife, 3 kids, 3 cats, a dog, listening to music and podcasts help get me though those days.
@Lone Wolf Nergigante Of course A Life with no Feelings is a life not worth living
I got so scared when she said "BE HONEST." 😂😂😂
WELL, ARE YOU BEING HONEST?
Lol
I never felt lonely except for one time but it turned out to be my insecurity + trying too hard to improve myself. I was mildly depressed and so I had the insecurity that it must be cause I don't talk to my friends.
But when I thought I should connect, I realized I don't want to talk about anything and when my kind of friend called me next day I was like end this call already. That pseudo lonely feeling went away pretty quickly.
I honestly don't know what is the reason why i feel so lonely. It could be my depression, or screen time, or my anxiety, or failing to connect with my friends (i actually just realized i have been struggling to connect).

Ok, this channel is definitely renting space in my head!!
don't call me out like this, Psych2Go
Fr,this is unnecessary
😂
This may help others, but I’m that one kid, that listens to music, I have one friend, well not really, I kinda like her, and we always get in fights, so I’m alonedidn’t need to say that, but uh so one thing, if your ever feeling alone, I reccomend to listen to music, sometimes you can get memories from it, it helps me too and when I need to calm down I listen to music 💞
same here!
music is my no. 1 comfort buddy 🤧💕
Thanks, and yes I am kid
Childhood trauma, anxiety, depression and sense of loneliness around others. Yep thats me 😅😅😅😥. Im seeing a counselor, so I'm getting better. You just really hit the nail on the head.
I can totally relate to you
One thing that I like about their videos is that whether it has to do with a mental illness, they always remind us that it is not to be replaced with an actual psychologist. Videos like this on the other hand, help each and everyone on how to overcome difficulties that many experience. And I love how they do not stay under negative topics, but rather they balance it off with amazing psychology facts. Keep up the good work!
I was feeling so alone and this video dropped and now I know why I feel alone and trying to overcome it🤗🤗🤗🤗
The amount of adventure time references and memories they are sparking up both hurt my soul and warm my heart
This came at the exact right time , thank you Physc2Go

Great "I Want It That Way"
I WANT IT THAT WAYY
And this is why I have online friends to make me feel ok
exactly.
Same , dude same :,)
Same
Like they're the only ones who understand me lmfao-
May I be your online friend, too?
I just wanted to say thanks for all the videos you post. Having recently moved out and living on my own I have had a lot of time for self reflection. I deal with severe loneliness and a bit of depression from time to time and your videos have helped me realize that I'm not as alone as I may feel. Your videos have also helped me realize steps I can take to change. Thank you for that.
Also thank to to whoever you are that narrates these videos. Your voice is extremely calming and easy to listen to and really understand what you are saying. Your voice feels like a trusted friend talking to you in a deep and meaningful way that understands how you feel without judging or belittling your feelings. Thank you!
Being someone who has been getting through the deepest grief and depression after my brother passing away, changing my environment has helped immensely, and almost immediately! Yes, I downgraded and I’m living at a new roommate’s place at nearly 40, but I’m glad for the adventure. I needed a change. Don’t be afraid. It can be the thing that lifts you out of the sadness. I had no reason to live for years. I’m so glad I made one last change. Nothing is permanent. You’ve got this ❤
0:20 Have you ever felt alone even though you were with people?
Me: Yes, always 😞
Thank you for making these videos, I always feel way more calm after watching one of your videos. It might not be a goal to calm people down with your videos but if it is you definitely hit it.
I live in a country where the coronavirus is currently surging so there is no possibility of hanging out with friends or attending social gatherings. It’s been like this for eight months now. It is taking a toll on not only my but also many peoples’ mental health.
I, personally, would love to see a video on how to feel less alone during a pandemic.
Thank you for all the great work you do!
The part about social media is so true. Im trying to fight that rn.
I absolutely adore this channel.
Mental illnesses and our brain is just so incredibly interesting to me, and learning something new about these things is just amazing.
I can also just rewatch the vidoes any time, and if I would learn these things in school I couldn't replay them. (I am really forgetful)
Thank you Psych2Go, for everything! ^^

Me: Oh cool, did I get a girlfriend in the future?
Lmao
Yes
No
@@urmom-sw7cq 😂 poor yoongles
Lol!
This feels way too familiar to me. Yes, I’m surrounded by people who love and support me, but I can’t shake the feeling of loneliness. It’s gotten worse all throughout 2020. I know there are others in the same boat as me as far as mental health goes, but it’s something I constantly forget, which I guess is the point of poor mental health.
Same with me
I feel like I was drowning in loneliness no matter how hard I try to be happy. Im so stressed with my job and the people around me adding to it. Sometimes people online makes me feel better and make me realize Im bot alone
i always find these videos so interesting because sometimes i connect with most options, other times none of them. main comment aside... i love your videos, keep up the good work!
I feel alone all the time, I feel like I'm not paid attention to, and even when I am its like I'm a burden
It's sad knowing that your depression is from your own parents.. same with not raising you or just treating you as a stranger, they ask why we isolate our self It's because we don't want that toxic energy you give us.
I'm amazed how good their animations have gotten, since they started posting videos on here, i didn't even realise it was the same person until i looked up their name in the credits. What an incredible job everyone, especially during covid, as i suffer from extraordinary amounts of stress, over existential issues, due to a misunderstanding of situations, or of people in general.
scrolling thru social medias depresses me sometimes, i admire ppl way too much
Loneliness is underrated...when u are lonely, try to find happiness within you...loving yourself is far greater than any other company..
You can’t say you’re alone unless you’ve had to fake a smile 🙃
Everybody who has ever been alone has felt that
r/gatekeeping
i feel extremely lonely and disconnected from everyone in my life, including people im around constantly and have an emotional bond with. i do not fit in and do not share my siblings interests, and i have no friends. i've never faked a smile.
@@karldoesstuffYT maybe. But I don’t like to show people that I’m sad or alone. But still, I feel you. 😔
I'm looking, listening, learning to live alone again. Been here before. Never easy.
From Chicago with love 💘
I just found this channel and I love it so much, the topics of the videos, your voice, and the fricking cute animations are all so amazing!
You guys helped me so much with my depression and anxiety. Thank u so much!! 💕
OK so I don’t know if the psych2go will see this but I want to thank you guys so much I’m only 12 years old and I’ve been wanting to learn psychology ever since I was around nine my dream job is a therapist,I appreciate you guys so much and thank you for everything and have a lovely day/night or afternoon❤️✨
You are never really alone. Awareness is key. Feeling like a black sheep is actually a sign of a strong individuality... which this world fiercely needs.
I watched this video out of curiosity. I never feel lonely. In fact, I love being alone.
I was just crying myself out a few minutes ago because I felt like Im all alone in life even when i have my family friends and bf. I was so sad and idek whats the exact reason.
Also, I just think the timing of this being uploaded is incredible.
This is such a coincidence I just wrote in my diary about how I have so many friends but I always feel lonley when I'm with them at school this video helped alot and was perfect timing
Too helpful and questions answered 💝 thank you so much!
This is so relatable! Thanks for this video and I love all of Ur videos
As a hostile introvert, I’m not really open to a ton people but I found one person that I connect with on a deeper level , he wouldn’t let me go no matter how hard I try ... that’s why a relationship founded on friendship is worth it ... 🥰
I've been lonely for seven years. I put myself in this position after finishing high school because I made the decision to completely move on from the first 18 years of my life and start over. I'm all for looking towards the future and going after what I feel I deserve but I've been stuck for so long I've disconnected from reality and myself. Just a massive brain fog and I have nobody around me to help get out of this rut. I'm surrounded by toxic, uninspiring people(my family) but they don't seem to care either way what I'm doing until I actually make attempts to do it. Then it gets unnecessarily complicated. Not looking for sympathy or answers, I'm just briefly venting about my personal loneliness.
I feel that, having an unsupportive family is the worst when you are trying to figure everything out and no one seems to care or understand. Sorry this is happening to you 😔😔
cheer up :)
@@rin8539 thats so not helpful 😍
This couldn’t be more true in quarentine
( To me ....this person's voice as well as these animated little ones with leaves/flowers on their heads are the BEST of all previous video's . Voice so soothing, animated not frightening etc )
I've always been lonely, everything I remember from my entire life I was lonely and maybe that's y I'm only 16, anyway family and friends that I had never felt real
So many adventure time characters in the background. This pleases me.
It's adventure time
These videos are so informative and motivate me to better my mental health...
Especially since I might be a HSP, I absorb ALL emotions and energies.
Welcome to the club... overwork, no connection, depression and screen time... mental and physical health issues...
Am i the only one who feels lonely and sad on their own birthday? My birthday is today and i don't feel happy at all i actually wanna cry ☹
No. I have always cried on my birthday. I don't fully understand myself or I don't want to accept it. But maybe the reason is that I compare my birthdays to others and see that I just celebrate my birthday with family at home while others do so many things to make it memorable even though I don't want to do those things.
Also I from within want to make most out of the day and don't want it to end and just keep on thinking about it rather than enjoying. Like last year I felt really comfortable and cosy in October and so this year I had too much expectations with the weather and I was disappointed. Not having expectations is best.
Also I feel uncomfortable when there's too much attention on me. So on my birthday I feel a little uncomfortable sub consciously and don't want to do anything stupid and be scolded on my birthday (had happened in the past)
At the end of the day I get emotional and tear up a little thinking so many people wished me, they remembered me and care for me. I am weird and sensitive 😅😭
Also Happy Birthday! Don't think much and just do what you want to do. If it is really making you emotional then just think it's a normal day. Thinking like this helps me a little.
I'm sorry about that don't cry please happy birthday
Awwww!🥺I’m here for you and I hope you have a good birthday at least!
Happy Birthday!
If you feel like you've been more stressed than normal recently, you could just be lonely. According to Psychology Today, "lonely individuals report higher levels of perceived stress even when exposed to the same stressors as non-lonely people, and even when they are relaxing👍
I watch your videos to learn english as an asmr, you have a really comforting voice
ALWAYS PERFECT TIMING😭😭👍🏻💖💕💕
I’ve been feeling alone since 2020 started 😕
I sometimes feel like 2020 was a punishment for sins, I don't believe in god but I don't know what else it could be.
I don’t know what I am anymore what’s wrong with a me?!
Idenitie crisis. Feel you
I feel you.
I- this hit kinda close to home-
Wanna talk about it?
*thinks of Luke Hemmings*
I DON’T KNOW WHO I AM
I don’t mean this to offend anyone in any way. I didn’t actually realize that this was about Identity Crisis at first. Sorry if it did.
I really love your videos your videos are very detailed and relatable but for the past few months i have kind of realized that lonliness is nothing
U can fix your own problems on your own
I still struggle with anxiety and depression but it's just temporary and i always try to do something big everyday Now i am in much a safer place
Thank you psych2go.
This channel helps me a lot🥰
Thankyou
I ran for class mayor today along with 2 other kids, I said “I like croissants” while the other 2 people made genuine speeches. I’m the mayor. Ik it’s totally not relevant but hey, thought it would make some people’s day and make people laugh. Good day!
Genius! Congratulations!
lol thanks. Croissants ARE pretty cool, after all.
Well, l find when l get into the Presense of God and give Him my issues l dont feel lonely at all because he cares for me and loves me so totally.
Thank you so much for this video! I finally figured out how I’m feeling :)
CZcams may be stupid, but it recommends me the right videos
When u are introvert and u still feel loneliness even u love being lonely sometimes.
Ah ... Can relate:"(
Hello I love what you guys are doing and it has helped me for so long now and this is probably gonna get burried but I have been experiencing hauntings due to some childhood trauma and were wondering if there was something to do about that
Thanks for this
That voice is so calming
Hey how are you?
Me: (in my head) I know that you didn’t mean that question seriously. And that it is just a reflex.
I don’t connect with my friends.
I feel very lonely.
I have major life changes.
I’m more shy and less social than I used to be which makes me really sad..
I have personal problems.
I’m always on my iPad.
My friends don’t understand me, and I cannot rely on them.
I never got to have the life everyone else has... not one second..
Me:”yea I’m fine, hbu?”
I can totally relate ;-;
I feel like loneliness can be from many things and this video definitely had lots of them in it. But for me, I feel loneliness in a couple different ways, when i see friends and notice how distant we are, how we are becoming the "how are you?" friends and that's where it ends in conversation. Not being included also hits hard when you feel like you don't matter or thought you were important to them but aren't. I also think feeling wanted adds to loneliness too because some people feel better when they know from others that they matter and I definitely am someone who feels better when that happens.
I know I'm a year late but this hits too much for me because I relate so much. I have made a lot of friends but I always feel so very distant with them, I have joined a group of friends and thought I was apart of them when in reality I wasn't. The feeling of being "wanted" truly hits the most when no one wants you.
I hope you made atleast new friends who cares for you and wanted to be with you now, I'm still trying to find a friend like that 😇
@@Kiarahmatangin Thank you for sharing and the kind words. I however am still searching and my message still is true. Hopefully one day, it will all be better and I can report that I no longer feel this way.
@@orangemarissa50 No need to thank me and I guess we should remind ourselves that everything will be okay when the time comes. Even in the toughest of times, even in the saddest of moments, everything will be fine we just need to be patient about it
I hope everyone that suffer from this problem can eventually solve it or let it go and have a better future, stay safe dear Marissa!
@@Kiarahmatangin Agreed!
Thanks, this actually helped.
Yes, this was a good summary.
I love how I keep coming back to these videos as if I’m meant to suffer until I give up entirely on life.
I always feel lonely even when I'm with my friends. To be honest, I don't even know why we are friends. I don't fit in with their conversations about boys. I feel like the only reason I was there was to help them with their study.
one day you’ll find a circle of friends where you will have no trouble fitting in, it takes time and it’s okay! try making more friends and talking to other people

Makes perfect sense right?
( not original )
Edit: why are the comments here are from five days ago wtf-
Those guys are members of this channel
@@LuffyD.KeyMon ahh that explains why there comment war from long ago.. Thanks for the explanation!!
This was an unlisted video.
I went through a lot last and this year. I got thrown out from my parents, lived in a womens shelter meanwhile I was trying to get my graduation from high school and last literally my last nerve. I changed so hard that the people around me started to critize me for letting myself go and staying silent all the time. I lost all my friends because they couldn`t handle the change or even the fact that my family is so broken. I can`t talk to anyone because I don`t want to be vulnerable but I can`t force myself acting happy or "normal".
Now that I think about it, I never really had a father type of figure with me, this really helps
I wanted to share with you all how I was feeling.
Anxiety +social anxiety +agoraphobia 'I wish I got this ++when I was in high school😫
How do I feel?
I feel like I wanna scream but my body is holding down for certain place "a mountain or a forest a place with bigger space.people keep saying just breath but don't know that this voice inside is suffocating me. Dealing with a pain that never shows a physical sign.some hour's feel like a blessing some feel like a struggle.tried to change myself but have jet not found that button.
Dreams you ask?
Always wanted be someone's shadow"you know the person that makes easy for you to reach you're dreams. 😅always founded that weird maybe it's one of the weird thing's I bicked from my childhood traumas.

Your voice is SOOOOOO CALMING, SOOTHING AND RELAXING ETC!!!! 😱😱😱😱💝💘💙✌️ Thanks so much 🙏
Feeling alone can most of the time go beyond the first year of middle school.
If you’re used to being alone most of the day like me than it won’t be as much as a problem.
At my years of sixth grade I used to feel this way and you know..your friends start moving away.
In elementary I used to half a somewhat good reputation and I was NEVER ALONE! It felt wonderful!
In 5th grade me and my friends weren’t in the same classes so I was a little lonely but I still have a lot of my friends still there.
At 6th grade I had one of my close friends move, it was a somewhat lonely year for me.
In 7th grade..I realized something after almost all of my friends moved..
I realized that I only talked to the same people and would never bother getting more friends because I didn’t worry as much. In your years of middle school you’re going to have to learn that your friends won’t always be in the same classes as you like elementary school.
I kept on thinking about all the people I didn’t have when I clearly had so many and now most of them are gone..
I have 4 of my friends left and we barely hang out during school and that’s okay! I am in physical school and putting our masks on sucks but I got used to it! I realized later on there were more people I can talk to that are like me.
In some classes, I have 6th graders with me but yet they are only a year younger than me so I rather not treat them any different. When I don’t treat them any different they don’t act any different towards me and not childish either!
A girl once saw me and asked why I was so quiet, and I said I wasn’t..it was just that people didn’t really decide to talk to me as much.
I soon realized that they made assumptions of me, and decided not to talk to me.
That’s why you need to make a move and start talking to someone.
It doesn’t matter who it is, just talk to someone!
*This is just about Social Stuff that I’ve learned within 4 years, hope at least a little bit of this can inspire you!*
"Childhood trauma"
HAH
YEP, THATS THE ONE-
I see. =[
You're first!
How
*second?*
@Mr Rowdy It seems I have finally achieved my goal!
I know I am late, but here I go...
I feel as if I have acquired all of the things that were explained in this video. Though I’m not sure of childhood trauma being part of my case, who am I to say? I don’t know what ‘normal’ parenting is supposed to be like. Call me petty, or over-dramatic if you must, but I am in no state of looking for trouble. I am just here to reach out for support. Oh and to tell anyone who reads this...
You are strong, You are capable, and what matters is You are You. Thank you for reading my thoroughly oblivious complaint of my life. ❤️ God bless you ~ Ella Willis
