What's the longest time you've spent isolated from contact with another person?
How did it feel? Did you start missing social interaction?
Ive been in my room for 4 years and 3 months. Only time I contact people is through the internet behind a keyboard.
Hi so you go to the bathroom in your room. Oh this is a joke right?
10 years no one is my friend
Complete isolation for me would be a bit over 3 months in the Carpathian Mountains, beautiful place. Forgot to speak a bit when I went back, words where a bit harder to pronounce and sometimes I would have to take a 1 sec brake or so to remember how to pronounce more unusual words. I got back to normal fast do, less then a week. I am a talker, if the Hound would be around me he would die from a ruptured stomach(if we also had chicken to spare of course).
Has there been any studies examining the difference between introverts and extroverts? Surely the introverts would last longer without going nuts
You cant isolate from friends If You dont have any
Seby 666 illuminati: don't move!!!
But if you’re using the Internet and have acquaintances, That’s not being isolated.
Now stop being a baby.
Seby 666 *taps head*
Seby 666 me af
Stay right where you are!
I spent 6 minutes alone watching this video
The horror...
Real Ramiro Perez haha!
Not isolation cause you still had the guy from the video talking
Same
I spended a decade of time to watch porn
There’s a huge difference between being isolated in a prison cell where you can’t leave and have very little - if anything - to do, and willingly isolating yourself outdoors in a cave or something. I’m sure both have their bad effects but prison is much much worse.
100%
being isolated in the world will still have great affects of social skills & loneliness but won't actually make somewhat become completely insane
“Human beings are social creatures.”
*My introverted self immediately shivers as I hear the word “social.”*
Natearl13 thank you. Finally someone who understands
Being introverted is not the same as total isolation.
Mark John Smith you’re right it’s not. But it is the nirvana of true introversion.
Video: man spent 43 years of isolation
Me: challenge accepted!
It doesn’t matter how introverted you are. You need human contact
*When you are home alone and the wifi cuts, thats true suffering*
But there's still electrity,I would watch TV or play meh offline games
I agree . It happen to me once . I cried for 3 min . My internet came back on 30 min later . I had to to call my Internet provider. Safe to say the worst three minutes of my life.
i cant tell if this comment is serious or not
jojofromtx and you use emojis stfu kid
I lost Wi-Fi in 2007 and got it back in February of 2016
I spent 7 years in solitary and in my country they don't let you out 1 hour a day.when I finally were released after 7 years being inside it felt really weird.
Which country or state were you in?
Hughman IRAN.
Dude give me more details. I could totally make a writing about that at my school.
Payam yazdi, can you explain?
Antariksh Rajkonwar I used to be a political prisoner in Iran from age 22_29.
I love being alone. I can go for days without talking to someone.
What about noww
i too wanna live alone in my life.
You guys dont get it.
How bout nowww in this virus
If I had to I would.
What if an insane person is locked in isolation for years...
he will regain his sanity
he can't BECOME insane, so we just disproved the idea of isolation causing insanity lol
iiamCÀŁƏB S.R they come out normal
They would probably be entertained. By the voices in their head
SSJBDOT or tortured by them
I love to stay by my self sometimes but not in the dark.
I am the exact same with that
Miggi so bad It's called being introverted, idiot.
Miggi so bad if you stay in one place just that one place no people to talk to imagine that you are in a square room that has light but So quiet and no one to talk to that same room nowhere to go no Internet your best way to survive is medtion or something that helps you not turning crazy like making a dummy
- Fewkey - Plz use punctuation.
Jesus Christ yes he’s “meen”
isolation is hell... without internet
Because with Internet you're not really alone.
Your hell would be a world without internet
"Human beings are social creatures"
Bro....
I can't even communicate with another human being without losing my ability to speech.
Wanna talk homie
@@FroggyBB when someone starts saying "homie" i immediately stay away from them

Michael from Vsauce lived in Isolation for 3 days.
Anand Sharma omg so long
He always lives in isolation
Different form of isolation.
That was complete sensory deprevated isolation, it's a million times worse then purely social isolation.
For some reason I wanna try that too.
Hey, Michael, Vsauce here.
Internet connection = 100 years in isolation
No internet connection = 10 seconds in isolation
Internet is a neverending source of stimuli, Although being online every single minute of free time for the past 4 years I haven't experienced boredom... I'm not saying that I like this life
combra studios I'm not bashing on you but dude, you should seriously enjoy life to the fullest. Only life we get so use it and live with no regrets. Trust me man, if you continue to live like that, you will regret it when you are eventually older or on your death bed. how old are you if you dont mind me asking?
THX for asking dude, I'm 23 and talented in engineering but have a terrible habit of delaying every task because I don't want to do it. Being aware of the consequences and stressed about future is something I've pretty much got used to so it doesn't drive me to change, sad that I've become one of the people I once used to look at with hate and incomprehension. But don't worry, there is still a little bit of hope
What other things find your interest? If you are the athletic type you could go join a sports team especially since it is summer now. Or something with the outdoors, go on tinder and swipe away lol, it will get you something to do and you may meet new people to do things with. I also know that If you are a little on the heavy side, try working out, it may be fun.
I guess im just saying that you should live a life you want to live man still young and time will fly. I'm 20 by the way.
Evan How did we all live back in the days when the net did not even exist?
I spent 3 days in solitary, I'll tell you that it had a profound effect on my life. I think it is a necessary evil for certain crimes and criminals, but it is used way to often as a punishment in my country is what I believe
If you spent time in solitary in a prison then it means you are an absolute idiot. I’m glad they threw you in there. What did you do? Steal some candy?
What’s our country
I once drove for 34hrs straight, no music. just fuel stops and my thoughts. i lived in my mind while thinking of ideas
BikeStuff How do you know you still aren't doing that? Maybe youre just insane and none of us and this exists
Where were u going
Lots of sensory input from scenery and driving is an activity to keep you occupied, if you really want to test yourself go sit in your bathroom for 48 hours with no electronic devices, reading material or anything to keep you occupied
@@Impetuss i would just sleep
@@artizzy7020 I don't think u would be able to sleep for 48 hrs straight
I consider this kind of punishment cruel, but unfortunately not unusal.
Harrison Ressler agreed
I'm a criminal justice major, and extended periods of solitary confinement are definitely something we should do away with. If someone is too dangerous to be in the general prison population, they should be kept separated from the rest of the inmates physically, but they need some type of human interaction to keep them from going insane.
This type of punishment is not just cruel but possibly the worst a human can experience.Even if someone is tortured they would either die or their body would grow used to it.
Maverick44 Also a criminal justice major here. If somebody is really that dangerous then why not just execute them?
Chris Botos Well if you don't commit a crime then you will never have to experience this.
But isolation in prison is completely different from spiritual isolation. Not only is spiritual isolation a choice, it is also less...well, isolated. If your in a Forest, there is still visual stimulation. You are not only starting Into darkness, or into a white wall. There are trees, and you are surrounded by nature. Being isolated in prison is honestly worse then just serving regular time. I get that sometimes, it seems like the criminal deserves it, but I isolation will make them more mentally unstable.
Thats exactly what I thought. The main problem is not the lack of human contact, but the lack of stimuli, as in the case of the prisoner.
And yes, prisons are not a place to reinsert people, but a hell of torture, both psychological and mental, which in my opinion is cruel.
Not only does the spiritual seeker desire the isolation, but he is often well prepared for it mentally and physically after countless hours of meditation and introspection in a non-isolated environment. Throwing a criminal with already severe psychological problems into solitary and total isolation is totally different than throwing a monk, seasoned meditator, or anyone with a quiet mind and deep inner peace into such isolation.
Jacob IAm exactly
I wonder if prison is supposed to punish people or correct their behaviour... like you said, isolating a prisoner would just make them more mentally unstable and when they emerge from prison, they might be bigger criminals than before.
Haha joke's on you, I have no friends or social interactions.
*cries internally*
Aww....
43 years.. That's so cruel- even if the person was a dangerous criminal society should atleast bring on a counselor to talk to them with the jail bars separating them. Why do we think inflicting suffering on someone is the correct way to rehabilitate them?
Because being nice isn't "tough enough"
@Rich true
@Rich Also because, he might have killed someone
Ikr
Sure maybe it would be better off without him but why would u want to inflict such mental abuse to someone, no one on earth deserves that kind of punishment. Simple actions like these make me angry, idk why, maybe its bcuz I hate seeing people get abused?!
Sometimes they are so dangerous it is for everyone’s safety to keep them away from nearly everyone.
Could you cover what to do if you have been taken hostage?
Gipsy Danger You're being held hostage aren't you?! S E N D I N G H E L P

King Kirby No shut up
Hostage rhymes with sausage
Frank Shut tf up you're not helping.
43 years in solitary... That's crazy. Especially since It's considered torture by the UN.
Sam Tabatowski I've lived without a social life for 18+ years . Although I've been living with the freedom to go outside and do things, go wherever I want & buy myself stuff. I'm I can have my "sanity" intact for that situation I described being indefinite. *IF* It's like anything posed in this video. Just give me the internet, T.V. and constant communication with a child I can sponsor though World Vision {with gifts being sent with my letters on my behalf, with chance to meet one another of course} *AND* I'm sure 100% I won't *EVER* go crazy at all. Even if that pure isolation is permanent. 🤔😎😧
I love how the guy above completely missed the point of the video... Bro, we are talking about complete isolation and not living off as a hermit, having access to entertainment and other convenience is completely different than being completely cut off from outside world
username1nmillion We are talking about complete sensory deprivation, not you living the good life.
username1nmillion wow you fucking idiot. When isolated you also don't have entertainment. It's just you alone with you thoughts. I know this for I was isolated for 6 months. (Not completely isolated but I couldn't get out of my room and I would usually entertain myself with whatever was available) and I'm telling you it's living hell. You start talking to yourself you slowly start losing your mind. Now this is just partially isolation now imagine isolated COMPLETELY.
username1nmillion. Surviving Complete Isolation is impossible and If any human on this planet can do this he/she for sure have to go through extreme mutation in DNA.
If there is no one to talk to...
Then talk to yourself 🥴
Kind of hard to keep your sanity when you do it for 43 years
“WILSONNNN!!!!” 🏐
Push ups, sit ups and squats keeps your body active.
Writing, singing and using your imagination keeps your mind occupied.
This will help if isolated for a long period of time.
Chuck Norris lived in isolation for 60 years.
Nobody even knew that, that’s how isolated he was
Sean B he counted infinity twice too.
Benedict Jorge he also killed 50 people with a grenade, then it blew up
Sean B I heard he shaves with a live shark
He can light a fire with two ice cubes
he once ate a cake in 1 second
Solitary confinement is definitely the worst and scariest punishment, and it helps no one. How can one even be locked up in a room and not have any stimula?
They are locked up because they are shitheads and should have been killed and not locked up
48 hours of isolation?
I do that in my sleep 🛏
Anxiety overwhelmed just by watching this video,
Dont worry I'm with you
I could stay alone for 43 years,just bring me any videogame,food,water,and ecltricity.
And WiFi!
Blindi well
Anyone would survive with that
And lots of porn
And *_Working Wifi_*
Anton Chekhov wrote an excellent story named 'The Bet' explains this phenomenon.
Sayan Mallick ICSE student?
Yes. My friend.
Great story
Sayan Mallick yes indeed, read it in class 2 months ago.
I'm an ICSE student too
That was an interesting story
The person only needed to spend 5 years in solitary confinement but his stupidity and arrogance caused it to be increased to 15 years
Its quite sad that he didn't get the money after suffering for all those years
Now make a video on the opposite topic: how long can you survive being together with other people/humans before going crazy? :P
It depends on what you’re doing in isolation. I spent many years of my life writing
And recording music and didn’t care much at all about being isolated. I was in my
Mid 50s.....when I cared at all about not being so isolated, but I still live my life
Like that. It’s the only life I know.
You don't always go crazy. Some people like isolation or don't have someone to connect or talk. You learn to trust your instincts better.
Language Nerd yeah these were social people i mean like come on the first guy had a wife and the second guy was a comedian. Honestly as long as I had everything I need I wouldn't be find by myself and if things did go down south I wouldn't mind
what about solo sailors who are isolated for days on time travelling the world on their yachts. How come they dont go insane? Making matters worse they can experience anxiety and stress because of rough seas and storms.Thats ten times as worse than staying in the dark for 48 hrs. I would actually enjoy the free time and think about life and sleep.
Language Nerd That's introverted
Sometimes I talk to myself, is it sign of insanity? Those sailors also talk to themselves, while writing down their adventures in the diary.
Language Nerd and that kind of people includes me.
Solitary confinement was once under cruel and unusual punishment until prisons went private
Oh damn... didn't know that. We really need to put an end to privatized prisons.
BEAST HAZARD / Hot Springs AR
I always say that but then people call me anti-capitalist. I’m all for the free market, but this is essentially the same as vigilanteism and you can see the horrible consequences. Prosecution is something the government should do
lee Roberts The worst ones are
Especially because those private prisons are rewarded for the amount of criminals they have, so they’ll keep the people longer than they deserve and put them in solitary for the smallest things
Sparka J
I see your point, but keeping someone alone for days, weeks, months, or even years is beyond horrible.
When I got accused for a high profile case. I was Q15 status (FL) and never was suicidal....no history... spent 48 hours in solitary confinement. No bed, no cloths, just a suicidal vest. On the 2nd day it was rough. No one would tell me anything. No brush teeth, no shower...only food but not humane... So I can only imagine anything pass a month
I recently read a book called “The Bet” by Anton Chekhov that was about this.
So cool that you mentioned Tenzin Palma. I actually saw her during a retreat in London
I spent a day of isolation in school, it was great I saw none of the annoying teachers
Dazzling Duck LOL
don't blame the teacher for being annoying
Dazzling Duck I remember sneaking a fidget spinner into isolation. halfway through one of the nicest teachers let me into her room and I spent the rest of the day on youtube.
*best isolation ever*

Chunky Gorrila im going to have to copyright them for making that without my will
Once I spent two weeks working third shift at a 24-hour pharmacy. They had moved me from the regular shift so that I could help catch up on our work. Although customers stressed me out to the max during the day, going two weeks without interacting with a lot of people made me crave it. I’m typically a pretty introverted individual, so I remember being really surprised that I felt that way.
Please do an infographic on the difference between "laying" and "lying". I recently got a very strong feeling that it is desperately needed.
Tbh I’m happy when my parents aren’t home
thats not isolation idiot

Gaurav Choumal hahahahahahah i know
Its a movie.....and he had CARS
Aaryan Ramourti TARS
I'd chill out. I would catch up on all the sleep I've missed in my life.
Thaddeus McCaustland u can’t sleep forever
Trust me, you wouldn’t.
Thaddeus McCaustland your body and mind would eventually lose concept of time in a setting like that and because you don’t have a schedule or anything to adhere to. You would definitely go insane during your waking moments sooner or later and your body would keep you from going to sleep so easily the more time you spend in that kind of setting
even the most introverted person can’t stand isolation for too long
All y’all wooshed
I’m a truck driver and the social isolation does drive you crazy at times! Sometimes I get depressed, anxious, worried and paranoid until I speak to someone again.
in the darkness we have to face our self through our own vision not by people thought.
The sad truth is that I'm a hate filled murderous man...but I don't act on it.
I think a person who is self reflecting can stand more then a hour in a isolated box.. when all you hear is your breathing and heartbeat.. nah man I would go apeshit ASAP
What do you mean?
I don't think it's being alone, it's losing your sense of time. That's what keeps us sane.
It was probably not just the isolation, but the lack of nature (rivers, sun, trees) that must have effected his mind. If people can live on an island, alone, with food, shelter, etc...I think it's also the surrounded.
Seeing oyster? In Pirate of the Caribbean movie Jack also saw a lot of white crabs
DEAD RIGHT!! Coincidence? i think NOT!
jack started going crazy seeing mutiple versions of himself as well
Will Huey yah poor Jackie he was bored,until the crew come
It's all in the mind !!!
Yes, I agree. You can just close your eyes and pretend it's not happening. Requires training,though. About 20 years training non-stop.
That's actually a really small minded comment
You try it then...
@Alexander Della Torre I already have done it you got too have a hobby something you like doing reading or writing & exercising & listening to music songs I thought I never would've listened too if I wasn't in isolation.
I partially agree with you, however, you still need to be physically prepared as well. Your body is not made to sit in isolation for long periods of time. Your muscles become weaker, the heart has to work harder, and overall your body is exhausted trying to stay alert. It just wears you down. Personally, I would not survive very long in isolation and need sensory stimulation.
Man how do you guys make videos everyday? I struggle with once a week.
I admire the hustle though, keep it up!

Stane subbed because of this comment
I think I could tank it... IF... I was allowed to write a book or something. The trick is keeping your mind occupied with something that isn't right there right now. You can deprive yourself of sensory input if you can reflect inward and create fictional sensory input to substitute it. The real problem would probably come later on when I start getting paranoid that I'm actually not alone and there is actually someone else trapped in here with me but I don't know where they are. Depriving yourself of petty fears will cause the mind to invent them where none exist, and there is little you can do about that.
It's not your personality that gets u, it's your brain. Your brain is the social creature, not u.
Your brain will go nuts without sensory perception. Period.
It's like a computer with so much processing power but zero data. Zero data!
It'll start to generate data from stored memories and that's why you Start hallucinating.
The sound of a rat will be pleasing to your eyes.
I wonder if you'll start licking the floor and walls for sensory perception
Bleank Dallas but the brain is you
5000mahmud Nah! I don't see it that way. You are only the conscious part of your brain everything else is the brain. It makes you feel what it wants, it makes you do what it wants. And u av to exert an enormous amount of will to reign it in.
This may be explained by the concept of ego, superego and id
Bleank Dallas concious = you
anything else is not you
5000mahmud I guess you can summarize it that way.
Thomas Silverstein is an interesting case, too. He is still in prison to this day, but spent 20 plus years in solitary confinement in a way I have never heard duplicated. While under a strict no human contact order, not even seeing or speaking to guards, he lived with the florescent lights always on and had televangelist shows played 24/7. Also, he was given literally nothing to help pass the time, either, no reading or drawing materials, playing cards or anything extra. I am not passing judgment either way about his case, just that I think it is apropos to the video.
Robert Maudsley too
Yes, and if you haven’t read the book No Human Contact I highly recommend it.
After spending 6months in the box its been yrs and i still have habits from that experience such as talking to myself.
“He even thought about suicide” Who the hell doesn’t think about that?
STUNTS Me
Али Бахшанде You are telling me that in your entire life you’ve never wondered “I wonder what would happen if I jumped off a cliff”?
STUNTS not as an option but accident, somewhat yes. I just meant I see much value in life.
I don't think about suicide, why is it that alot of people on the internet seem suicidal?
The thought "What if I didn't exist?" is a very human one. It doesn't mean you don't see value in life. It is just apart of the human condition to wonder if we had never existed. Also the internet is a great place for people who are depressed to find comfort by occupying their mind. Most people Ive heard say "I never would kill myself it's fucking stupid who would want to die." Also have a comfortable life, were raised by two parents who loved them, or are raging alcoholics/sex addicts/pot heads. Nothing wrong with substance use but it is escapism. Go live poor in a slum in India with a guy made out of your shit and I bet we would be watching you swing from a noose in 6 months.
I spend a few days alone in my house and I feel relaxed afterwards
Diego Ayala why can't i be you
Now the question really is, do you have a pc? Do you have a TV? Do you game games to play? Do you have a kitchen to make food at? Do you have a pet? Do you have the ability to walk to another room? Do you have the ability to tell time? Do you have the possibility to walk outside if you wanted to?
If any of the answers are "yes", then it wasn't isolation on the same level as described in the video. End of story.
Being alone at home isn't like being closed off from other people. The thing is, being "isolated" as in the video, isn't about being alone, it's about having "social" limitations. You have the ability to just open the pc and send a text to your buddy, and bam, you're now social. The brain is stimulated by social interactions, whether or not that is through the pc, the tv or at a café.
Because your in an environment that you're used to, these people live in isolation in new places and barely with any items to keep their mind busy.
When i was very little i remember my mom use to lock me in a room alone for hours. Now that im grown up ive never felt that "i want my mommy" feeling. Like i dont even know how it feels to just want to cry for my mom. Ive heard other people talk about it many times but ive never felt it myself. Im told its a peaceful safe feeling. The closest thing i myself have to compare it to is when im in a dark room like a basement or a closet. I turn off all the lights and just sit there in the total silence. I could stay like that for hours or days. When i was a teenager my room was this walk in closet and it wasnt uncommon for me to stay in my dark closet in total silence from friday to monday. Just the peace and quiet. Makes me feel safe and at peace. Like dipping into a warm dark bath. My mind just free floats. I cant believe it actually drives other people crazy when its one of the only things that has allowed me to keep my sanity. Makes me wonder if there is something seriously wrong with me.
My top fears are death, hallucinating and probably paralysis. Sleep paralysis sucks but I mean its not hard to deal with when it happens but I mean real paralysis or hallucinations would make me want to die. I fear death above all other fears besides those two. I can't understand how people can cope with hallucinations and solitary. I could probs last a week but after that I would go insane.
Karot of Mysto I think I had sleep paralysis and it kept making me have horrible nightmares because it made me fall asleep.
Karot of Mysto
You may call me edgy but I don't have any fears, I have sleep paralysis alot and I think of waking up instead if anything else. I have hallucinations alot but I learned when something is real or not..
Death doesn't concern as much, I'm concerned for how I die. I want to die naturally.
Karot of Mysto
It's easy.
its a vicious cycle
Karot of Mysto you shouldnt fear death it is a natural part of life
I stayed in my room 23 hours a day for 2 years, rarely leaving the house because I had some extream social anxity and didn't need to go to school. It wasn't true isolation as I talked to my parents now and then (few minutes when I left my room) and I don't think I went insane. I still can't talk right though (4 years later), I always stumble around my words and stuff. lol
In my opinion, the lack of human contact is not the problem, but the lack of stimuli. In the example of the prisoner we see how he really goes crazy, but the Buddhist, even in the absence of human contact has different stimuli such as survival.
Damn how did you fix yourself?
MaLJaY Worldstar Just...did. Idk really, started to have a teacher come homeschool me and she had the goal of getting me out the house. Did some gradual exposure I guess would be the best way to explain.
Still don’t leave the house much because I don’t have much reason to.
Well thats a shame for both of us im the same situation except the thought of social anxiety does not exist in my culture so my parents don't even understand a thing about this.
MaLJaY Worldstar Damm, that’s rough. As you age it will get better, I didn’t expect it to but I’m much better than I was before and ageing is probably the thing that I could pin it on.
The only thing worse than being in a solitary confinement cell is sharing one.
I spent the best part of a year alone. I did interact with people on the phone or delivery people - did all my grocery shopping online. Apart from that I exercised twice a day, meditated and lived very minimally. I learnt new things and I had a great time.
Since then I’ve found myself planning and cherishing my alone time more!
Where have I heard that background music?!? It's driving me crazy. 😂
I cant deal with 10 minutes away from wifi.
:O
TeasinTrio just use ethernet wi fi is only wirless internet ethernet is wired and faster ;)
TeasinTrio,
That means you’re an addict.
I can't do it for one
TeasinTrio it's called an addiction
Make one of these videos on a random subscriber. Randomly pick them, reach out to them, get their life story and animate it. I would love to see that and by far I feel like it would be one of the best videos yet.
There's already channel that dose that. It's called story booth lmao
This hits different during quarantine
I met Siffre, really smart man, his researchs were mostly on circadian rythms and are still used as base for things like long space travel.
The reason people go crazy is because they can't let go of their thoughts. Their thoughts become real, causing you to believe in the craziest of things. If you'd let go, you would be at peace.
Adam Woo lsd ego death
So like not think at all?
Observe the thoughts as they come up but allow them to pass
This is true, but is much easier said than done. Even a seasoned meditator would have difficulties with being in solitary confinement for years, not to mention decades. You can try it out for yourself in a non-prison environment and see how long you can fare.
tbh I can live up to a year alone without any human contact in a room if I have Food,Tv, Videogames and internet

Human interaction is for the weak.
Weirdos
lol
As you interact with humans in the comment section...
@Fuckyea1901 Bruh Why are you getting so offended?😂
And the sane..
I was once left to myself for a whole summer, never going to see anyone, staying in one room, so here’s what I have to say about the experience: your memories don’t form properly and you crave human interaction so much that you feel like death might follow soon if you don’t get it, your sense of time could start to stop functioning and you start to lose mental capacity, then your days are filled with monotonous tasks so you can try to keep yourself together, after you are done with the ordeal your physical fitness has suffered greatly and you must try to regain muscle mass and strengthen your heart or else you’ll have head rushes that can bring you to the ground. I’ve experienced this all for myself and I have to say it wasn’t a good experience during or after
I did it to myself on purpose to test something that I wasn’t willing to test on someone else, so I put myself through my own experiment to see for myself, which is the best way to do things since you can be the one writing the paper and the one with the memories
Solitude is great, but it'll eat you slowly and surely!
what
Oh please do, solitude! Vore the shit out of me! \o/
Nope
Meditating and trying to control all your senses is being taught in indian transcripts found from 1000's of years ago. Maybe it might hold the key to future research on isolation and sanity.
I’d enjoy the solitude I do and feel my best when I’m alone and in complete darkness or silence. I always get irritated with light or unnecessary sound. Sometimes I wish I could unplugged the refrigerator to get rid of the humming
I spent 7 hours in isolation its called school
I live in a world where people like you are called attention seekers.
Avana i think it’s you
MotoboyFD
How? Probably you..
NOT THE SAME
Avana But you are seeking attention from this comment
“ *its not that bad* “
*my family goes out*
“ *when are you guys coming back home* ?”
Not everyone is social. You can be “isolated” for years without going go crazy. For instance you could live in the mountains and be fine. It depends if you can actually do things. And not everyone craves social ness either,
pecu alex yeah. Anyone can adjust to that, but complete lack of senses isn’t natural, which is why people go “crazy”.
Everyone is social. You're incorrect. Solitary confinement provides no true social interaction or anything similar whatsoever. Living alone in the mountains you here weather and hear and see other living creatures daily no matter what. Your mind is stimulated by social interactions around you constantly
YaBoiOof not really. Yes everyone is “made” to be social but you can simply override this by not speaking. It isn’t hard to grasp this idea. And when I refer to everyone not being social I’m not talking about total isolation. There’s a difference between antisocialness and complete isolation.
It comes down with what is the definition of being normal.
I've spent 4 months on my own it was very weird talking to people again after it. You do go crazy but you don't notice it. I started talking to myself in my head a lot after 2 weeks. After 8 weeks I talked to myself out load constantly and even had conversation with my self but it stopped almost immediately once I started talking to people again
Tony Soprano
I talk to myself alot, don't care for it. Better than having to deal with real emotions from real people.
Tony Soprano
How exactly did you ostracize yourself from society? Where did u go? Jail?
I was at sea
About the same I want forced into it I chose to do it but the talking to your self m,losing track of time, and for me always thinking there was something around me was bad 3months alone
Tony Soprano I have a lot of social interaction but still talk to myself a lot.😅
Finally a video that is meaningful and not just for views/likes.
I have lived 14 years in near complete isolation due to an illness that is called avoidant personality disorder. I have not had 1 friend, girlfriend or even someone to talk to over all these years with a few exceptions, I have at times attended therapy but to no avail , the personality disorder is to integrated in my pathology. Anyone; I'm still far from crazy or deranged. I still have solid cognitive capacity and a pragmatic and logical worldview. I'm still able to reflect and reason, I have never experienced a psychotic episode and I'm rarely depressed. I might be sexually frustrated by that isnt enough to qualify as "crazy".
aedivian Can I get what you have please? Pass it over!
I would not recommend avoidant personality disorder for anybody. It usually lead to a very socially isolated life with little prospect of finding friendship or love.
And yet by being compelled to share I would position that you also need social interaction in your own way
Of course, humans is social animals. I get some socialization online. But still, online interaction is not the same as a friendship where you can actually meet them and have a laugh together or do fun stuff like travelling, going to the beach, playing sports and whatnot. That's things I sorely miss but I dont miss it so much that it drives me crazy. But I suppose we humans have different tolerance levels, some might snap and develop severe mental disorders in just a year of living like me.
aedivian I'm confused. What is exactly happening in your mind that keeps you from doing anything social? Can you elaborate? I'm genuinely curious.
Could you please do more military comparisons? That is what I enjoy the most.
In Buddhism most temples offer a 2 week meditation program that involves almost 12 hours of meditation, absolutely no talking and you having to close your eyes half of the time you're awake.
Such an amazing experience and the other hundred that were in my batch (mostly westerners, although the retreat was held in taiwan) all felt like it was a very uplifting and enlightening experience. ☺ Prior to that I had been living in a Buddhist temple for 4 months so it was pretty easy for me.
Robin Williams is quoted as saying "being with people who make you feel lonely is worse than being by yourself"
Humans are social... So what am i ? ._.

I wonder what you’d have to do to get 48 years in solitary confinement
I don't know if it was the same guy, but I read about a guy who did about the long. He was involved with the Black Panthers and got like ten years in prison for shoplifting. While in there he was accused of attacking guards multiple times and also other prisoners during riots (when it is hard to know who did what.) He did that huge amount of time in solitary confinement, then was let out into the general population. But they knew that there were guards, white supremacists, and other black guys that hated him, so within a year he got killed. Anyway, that is one example.
But sometimes it is total BS. One guy did a long time in solitary and then that time was extended because he had a book by a political activist who escaped from prison. But that book had been authorized for him to have.
Anyway, you can only put somebody in solitary for stuff they did while already in prison. You can't be sentenced to it for what you did outside.
My physical body may be locked in a solitary confinement forever but my mind and soul are traveling across the Universe. I may die but I will never truly die.
Give me what you're on

It's not drugs but it's called "Astral Projection". If you want to know what is that, you can search up either on Google or CZcams.
~thats deep~
Dude, your mind would still go crazy. Not die, but tortured.
Jokes on you i was playing monopoly and i just got a get out of jail free card. What r u gonna do now?
Teodoro Santos Rip the card

Tough luck, pal! I own all the motels and half the malls! Your money are belong to us!

Your money belongs*
@@friedbread3817 I don't think you get it.
I like the way people assume everyone is the same, not everyone craves attention, or exception or company some of us enjoy our own company don’t care what people think or even likes us
Ren and Stimpy had a hilariously insane episode about living like a hermit in a cave.
I usually feel more like I'm going crazy the more I'm around people. The more alone I stay, the better my life seems to go.
jjburkk don't wish for it, believe me
Same.
jjburkk well said
Really? Pass me the salt.
jjburkk No one truly want to be alone. Youre just ashamed of what you are and afraid that people will judge you because of it.
Don't worry because there's a lot of support out there if you let your voice out
Um well I am pretty isolated as I have no friends and no one to really connect to and know on a personal level... but I am not crazy... I’m fine nothing wrong *nothing wrong at all*
HAHAHAH just kidding I am insane!
Same fam
Make it 2 nooses
Whats a noose
Hahaha wow rawr xD!!1! So edgy and cool :33
WADER 007 it is a synonym with moose. Don’t worry about it kid.
When forced to endure things it is actually a lot easier to cope if you realize this, and also is why every attempt at experiments with volunteers about isolation always seem to go crazy in very short periods of time, its not the isolation that drives you crazy its the constant struggle in your mind to not push the tap out button per say that does it.
this channel is so interesting
Can you do a video series on unsolved serial killers like e Honolulu strangler, the Frankfurt slasher, the Stone man, the swamp murderer, etc.
We will be doing them all!
The Infographics Show AWESOME! I love these kind of videos but don’t have the technology and stuff to do them
Leave me alone.
When I was preparing for college entrance exam in kota, I stopped attending classes after a few months. So, I used to stay locked inside my room for around 22-23 hours. Although, I did use internet quite a lot (didn’t interact with people) and used to talk to my parents for 15 minutes daily. I don’t know if it can be considered solitary, but that was the case for 5-6 months. It felt good in the beginning. I enjoyed a lot because now, nobody would scold me for sleeping for as long as I wanted. That was a much needed relief, until finally after appearing for the first of two exams (JEE) I wanted to return home but was harshly denied. I didn’t want to do anything at that place for any longer.
Again, when I was at college, my experience with wing mates and especially roommate was very bad. They were extremely dumb, annoying and were always jealous. That was a traumatic experience and I had to ask for a solitary room, the next year. I spent the first half of that year attending all classes (as a part of an experiment to see if it had any effect on my grades but it didn’t) and spending the rest of the time in my room playing video games and eating a lot of non veg. That was the time of my life. The second half was again solitary and I stopped attending classes again. I had also changed my department to physics. I spent most of the time in my room studying what I always wanted to (finally) and as a result I could successfully finish GSoC. This time, I also performed much better at college and my SPI (semester GPA) jumped significantly. It was clear that the college was totally useless for me. They had very few courses that were actually interesting for me and I wasn’t allowed to attend those because of my grades in mandatory courses (which were also because of partial checking done by professors and students; when I was in the third semester, one of the students who was there for showing answer scripts, literally showed me that a student was awarded 5/10 in a diagram in which I was awarded 1/10. The diagram along with it’s labellings was the exact same). I wanted to leave but was again sent forcefully. Although, I did leave midway through the fifth semester.
He is my favourite person to talk on this
