connection 

i relate to this struggle of craving real connection SOOO MUCH and i have been trying to find out how to talk to people and how to be myself around people but it’s sooo hard because i have the same feeling that no one i meet really shares this struggle or is open about it. It’s just so weird because i kind of know what i search for in people and in the world in general but I don’t know how to find that connection… i really get you

I’m in the exact feeling you are in in life. I feel like we are the same type of specific in that way, thank you for expressing it ❤

that feeling of having no one to call to make you feel better - so real. watching your videos always makes me feel less alone with these kinds of moments.

the girl in this video is a true friend to you, so clear to see

I actually cried watching this. If you love and accept yourself, even in those moments where you’re in a crowd and you can’t click with anyone or join in, you’ll start to feel better. Love even those parts of yourself … the ones that make you different x

I find it comforting that though being lonely is shite, so many people are lonely in this life, but it won't last forever. life changes so quickly, and people are so transient, you're grand. i think more people relate to you than you realise, sendin loveeeee xxxxxx

Saoirse I just wanna give you a big squeezy hug. I know and understand this feeling of loneliness and not feeling true connection to other people. You seem like such a wise and intelligent young person, this feeling of disconnection may not leave you altogether but it will become alleviated. Life is always spiraling, try to stay present. Sending loads of love and hugs.

I literally thought I was listening to myself then. Every word you said is exactly how I’ve felt for the past few years. I don’t feel like I have any connection to anyone (except family) including my friends. I can’t remember the last time I spent time with friends and felt satisfied. I always come away from socialising and feel more and more empty but the thing is I love my friends and they’re not bad people. I just can’t find anything that I can connect to them with

I really wish we were friends in real life, what you say in this video with craving connection is literally all I think about and live for and I just don’t have enough of it right now. Feel a bit like a shell of a person and have done a long time. Watching your videos sometimes I forget that you don’t know me and I don’t actually know you but damn I relate to your words so much

You understand me in a way I previously thought few do. Thank you for extending an olive branch of connection without necessarily meaning to ❤

i feel the exact same way of not relating to anyone and feeling so inescapably isolated, and there is now way of finding things to enjoy when all you can rely on is yourself. when sometimes, you want more than yourself. i love coming home through your videos, though. the loneliness is heavy, but just feeling like i'm not alone with this, it's hope. thank you, saoirse!

just went through a breakup yesterday. I feel an intense lack in my heart, and the connection that tethered me to the rest of the world is just over. Feel like a little girl crying out for love. But also so protective of my heart so connection like that again feels impossible.

so relatable so true we love u and ur words

Thank you for being so inspiring. I needed to see this today 💓

but it was really nice and consoling in a way listening to you talking about this and also just the whole video is so beautiful

so comforting

I love these vlogs Saoirse, makes me feel so centred and at peace. Thank you for the content you bring! Sending you so much love xx

Saoirse I’m so grateful for these videos and for your perpetual empathy, kindness and openness - thank you for being yourself 🧡 I relate to you so much with regards to feeling like an outsider and like there’s something wrong with you (there isn’t, you’re just a beautiful and unique soul) 🧡

related to this so much, loved it

i've never thought anybody could articulate that feeling of isolation in social situations even with people you think you love before like i literally thought it was just me when you were talking about feeling inappropriate or discomforting in conversation and everybody else seems to know how to act i have struggled with that for so long thank you so much for saying that i stg everything you said in this video chimed so deeply with me

I was having the worst anxiety about this exact feeling all day and feeling like everything I thought made me happy was a lie and all this rly bad shit and listening to you talk through your thoughts changed me around completely. thank you for this I can't even put in to words how grateful I am to know someone feels like this too

Yay yay yay new Saoirse video

really resonate with the segment starting around 12 mins in. very very isolating

im the same with connection, feel like i annoy people when im with them but even shitter when alone

the script thing omg !!! it feels so isolating

Thanks for being open about your feelings expressing them so well ❤ I get the same thing when I’m having a depressive episode or anxiety attack, I tell myself there’s no one to talk to or no one that could help but whenever I just say fuck it and tell someone (even someone I think will not help at all) they always end up helping and understanding, I think it’s easy to feel like no one feels the same and won’t understand your feelings but lots of people have the same or similar feelings sometimes and they will hear you xx

Wow your eyes look so blue and beautiful with that hair

love this

new video new video im so happy!!! i can relate to what you’re saying at the end. i find it so hard to connect to others because i feel like we’re not like minded and sometimes that can be really hard. instead i find connections within art, music, ideas but sometimes it can be so tiring! i really hope you find your way lovely. this video was so comforting 🥰

saoirse you literally described I've been feeling atm, like I'm so lonely and I feel like nobody understands me !! its so nice to know that there are other people out there feeling the same things,,,,, we're never really alone

lovely as always saoirse

loved this, so beautifully honest and raw

I felt the same way for so long about not knowing people who truly got me or were into the same things as me. I just assumed I would never find people like that. Of course I eventually did but I didn't meet any of them until I was 22. I promise they are out there. Also once I found them I realized a new feeling of being scared of loosing them. I feel like the real problem is a sense of lack in general. You are so abundant and when the time is right you will cross paths with them too.

you are soooo not alone saoirse

i know exactly how you feel x

please never stop making videos, I relate to you so much!🌻I feel like we are in the same phase right now, I've just moved to Australia and made new friends but they all love techno and like you said I also feel like such an alien like I don't relate to my generation, I hate techno it feels so empty to me.

I went through this in my early 20s my best advice is to travel. I did it even though I was skint by working while I was away. I did workaway and volunteered in hostels or you can go do eco farm work. I met people I had more in common with once I got out and seen the world. It’s good to escape the day to day and change it up. Ano it’s a cliche but you just need to find yourself ❤

More Jay content we love him

Beautiful Saoirse

I wish there were captions for the bit at the end

I have had a few connections in my life, but they have been tenuous and more just ‘glimmers’ of connection. Maybe this is sad, but I have sort of resigned to giving up on missing that connection. I find it extremely hard to find people that I do connect to. Of course, ultimately that is what I am seeking and want in life. But I kinda know that I won’t find it in certain places that I find myself in life (just from enough experience/evidence/trial and error). I keep trying all the time but I never get my hopes up. Resultantly, I don’t miss not having that connection because it probably was never possible in the places that I find myself in. I have become very close to myself as a result, and I connect with myself, God, nature, music, art in place of other people. This is all just for now… I still have hope of course haha, always will, and I know that connections are so possible - I’ve had them before, just maybe not for now.

This the best video I’ve ever seen on RU-vid ever

Ive started reading this book 'overcoming Low Self-esteem' by Melanie Fennell and what youre describing sounds like it can help. Also listen to Abraham Hicks!

hopefully seeing how many of us relate to these feelings makes you feel less alone

I would loooove to know which 16 personalities type you are!!

i just ordered an apache pizza

whats the song at the v. end! such nice chords

hi saoirse! i was wondering what song you’re playing on the guitar at 18:36 the chords are so pretty? thank you for sharing your thoughts and vulnerability, you always manage to put my thoughts into words and make me feel less lonely

techno hate club!!

Bro I freaking hate techno thank god seen heard understood xx

Jason’s singing is so out of tune
