What is the loneliest thing you've ever done? 

Ah yes, "a man who just left his wife of 80 years rode on a motorcycle to his parent's house," sounds like the start of a riddle.

Thanks. I needed to cry today. Sincerely, not sarcastically.

I wrote a poem and sent it to a bunch of discord servers i have a few friends in. Waited hours for a response. Nothing. Then i realised just how much my social life depended on online friends who live miles away and who barely start convos or talk with me. I realised I dont have any irl friends anymore and just how dependent i was on my online friends for validation or socialising. I realised how many people i have around me but how little i have to REALLY talk to. I'm not alone, I'm just really lonely.

In middle school, student birthdays were celebrated by your friends wrapping/decorating your locker for all to see. And the student body would see it and wish you happy birthday all day. I had no friends in middle school. Mom, a teacher at the same school but a different grade, convinced me it’d be fun to decorate my own locker. So we got to school early on my birthday and decorated my own locker. The day went by, not a single happy birthday from anyone. When I came back from lunch, someone had ripped my wrapping paper half off. I ripped off the rest, shoved it in a trash can, and went to class. When my last class ended, I walked to Mom’s office-she had an office and a classroom because she the chair of her specification-walked in, shut off the lights, sat down in dark on the floor by the trash can and cried. When Mom came back from her mandatory after-school meeting, that’s how she found me. She hugged me a long time and we went to dinner even though she’d already told me we wouldn’t be able to do that because of her meeting and all the stuff she had to get ready for a conference the following day. My birthdays as a child were incredibly hard for me because I was really sick. My doctors didn’t think I’d make it past sixteen for a very long time. I was fully aware of this. So it would always destroy me when my birthday was ignored or purposely ruined in some way. Because I honestly didn’t know if I’d make it to my next one.

It might sound dumb, but getting a pet, whether a cat, dog, or other, can fill that void.

I really enjoy being alone but when I was alone in hospital on my birthday ... that was depressing.

It's sad to know how common it is to be alone in a world full of people and life.😢

The loneliest thing I've experienced is having dysphoria, having something wrong with you that no one else around you knows how you feel nor can help with gets super lonely. It's almost what I imagine some other disabilities being like. You can be surrounded by friends yet feel like no one is truly there.

It was Christmas. No presents obviously. I live alone. I said to myself “merry Christmas.” My cat walked up to me and cuddled my leg. I started to cry because of how lonely I was and how cute he was (mainly second)

I’m barely a teen yet but I’m always lonely at school with no one (not even my biological mother) to understand my crippling mental health I wander around and don’t speak to anyone unless I know them well. Strangers online such as you all understand more than anyone I meet in real life

Thank you for the kind words underspark. As someone who is lonely playing Mario Kart alone in her bedroom, who had taken so many attempts at love and friendships and only ended up alone in my 24 years on this earth… thank you. I do hope that one day I achieve that joy that you have voiced

Carried my mother's ashes to the top of Wonder Pass near Mount Assiniboine to scatter them where we'd scattered my father's ashes 25 years before.

I got pregnant the summer before my senior year in high schools. I was rolling with a rough crowd and lost a lot of my "friends" after getting pregnant. I spent my lunches eating on windowsills or in the library. The librarian used to lecture me not to eat in the library, but when she realized I was pregnant and very alone, she stopped and would just come check on me instead. That was the loniest and hardest year of my high school career.

The loneliness thing I have ever done is just exist. Having no friends and crippling social anxiety are not a good combination.

Learning to be happy alone isn’t possible when you’re always alone. It’s just cope for people who know what it’s like to not be.

pretended I was kissing someone else in the mirror

I love how much you care about the OP’s and your viewers ❤️🌻. I gotta say - sometimes it’s loneliest when you’re surrounded by people but don’t feel like you can truly connect…

I suffer from intense cluster migraines, and I once was hospitalized and had stroke symptoms for the first time. It was awful laying down on those beds (if you can call them that) with the IV in my arm, twitching from the cold spreading through my veins, with my head pounding as if my brain was melting in my skull. Just sitting there, anxious, paranoid, frightened. I now absolutely hate hospitals, urgent cares, ERs, all of them. Oh, and by the way, I WAS ELEVEN YEARS OLD.

Drove home with my wife’s ashes. We had a nice talk and during the ride I let it all go.

Thank you. It's good to know loneliness is normal during certain times in life. It was a good reminder to keep making effort to make friends and maintain friendships. As a 45 yr old, I think the hardest time is being stuck in school with people you might not have anything in common with and people who are more worried about what others think than being a decent human being. Life gets so much better after high school. In college and a job you have those things in common and then it gets easier to join groups with people who have similar interests. I've found that in towns where a lot of people come and go, I generally have to attend regularly a few weeks before people start talking to me outside of the active we've gathered for. I don't mind since I know they're just being cautious since I might not ever join them again. It just takes time to build up friendships.

On my birthday one year I went to a pizzeria and ate some pizza by myself.

In summer I pretty much always went to the public pool alone, often going on top of the slide throwing diving rings and going after them to play. On some lucky days I found kids that wanted to play with me tho!

No one has to read this. I just want to express something no one in my everyday life will ever see. And that thought is comforting to me. I don't know what specifically is the loneliest thing I've done. I've had many days where I've felt alone. Some are in clusters of multiple things over multiple days. Others are spread far apart. But today feels like one of those days. I randomly felt like I was going to cry at work nearly 12 hours ago. I didn't know why, or where it was coming from. Just that it was very sudden, and I had to brush it off. I got home, I called my long distance boyfriend before bed. We chatted a little bit, but I suddenly got that sad feeling again, and my boyfriend's roommate was trying to sleep. So I just muted myself, and cried. It's been over 4 and a half hours, and I still can't fall asleep. I've been crying on and off, but this video made me realize I'm just feeling really lonely. I started at my job only a month ago. My boyfriend went back to college a couple of weeks ago, and I'm finally feeling the weight of all of the adjustments. My boyfriend going back to school was worse this time because we actually knew how it felt to be apart (he previously went to a university in my home town, but got a really great opportunity), but I did cry much right after he left. Granted, we talked a lot until his classes started up. He always needs an adjustment period when he starts a new semester. It doesn't make it any easier knowing that, but it's necessary for context. Part of why he's busy is his been looking for a suitable apartment for when I move there in August. He's been looking with one of our planned roommates, and has tried to include me in the selection process as much as possible while I'm in another state. But it's not been much so far. And like I said, we call before bed, but sometimes we're just too tired to talk much. Especially when Thursdays are both of our busiest days. But that's not the only thing. I like this new job I've started, but I don't feel like I should get comfortable when I'm moving in August. I'm a hard worker, but a huge part of me knows not to get emotionally involved because it won't matter. So, I've started to feel like I'm not a part of my boyfriend's world, or even my own. I just exist. I'm an array of bubbles that could pop at any moment. Just fade from thought and view. I know that sounds dramatic, but that's how it feels. And honestly, it took two hours into me crying to realize it was loneliness. I didn't know why I was so overwhelmingly sad, but it makes sense to me now. I thought I was adjusting to my new job well, but I have this barrier up. I miss my boyfriend, but have been carrying on because I have to. Even though it's hard. And just because I don't feel a part of his world, doesn't mean he feels that way. He's been doing his best, it's just that initial adjustment period. Getting used to a new schedule, and learning how to balance it. But it's never going to be easier. Not until I'm actually with him. I'd like to finish this off by saying the end of the video was really touching. I've always felt watching this channel (and the other one) that whoever you are behind the voice; you're so empathetic. I don't think anyone can truly fake empathy, and I don't even usually watch Reddit stories anymore. But it's the personality that's brought me to these channels. Interesting stories too, but there's someone who cares while reacting to people's stories. I doubt you'll read this, but thank you for caring enough to remind people to get help. I have, and I will continue. But sometimes, there are just these nights. Alone, unable to fall asleep, and not realizing (in my case, a sobbing mess) until it's too late the weight of everything. And how loneliness is one of the hardest things, even if only temporary

I work with adults with autism so worked Christmas Day morning then went home. I though it was going to awful but actually I ate some good food, watched whatever I wanted on tv and had a few drinks. I thought it was gonna be pants but I actually really enjoyed it. All I can say is Arthur Christmas and the polar express are awesome I wish I’d seen them before. Loneliness doesn’t have to be a bad thing it can be a person enjoying their own company.

I heard this on a TV show called "Life" that starred Damien Lewis of Band of Brothers fame. "We are none of us alone. Even as we exhale it is inhaled by others. The light that shines upon me shines upon my neighbor as well. In this way everything is connected. Everything is connected to everything else. In this way I am connected to my friend even as I am connected to my enemy. In this way there is no difference between me and my friend. In this way there is no difference between me and my enemy. We are none of us alone." Got me started on Zen, hopefully it helps you.

Thank you for this. I had a relatively bad day and needed a good video to take my mind off of it. Your videos always comfort me and I appreciate you reading these a lot.

It was the last day of school for grade 8. I had had many terrible years in school, and that year, that class made me feel loved. After I got home from school and my dad went off to work, I just grabbed my yearbook and held it and cried. I miss them so much, and high school is a nightmare.😢❤

It definitely sounds like you put your heart and soul into reading these. And i feel it especially came across with this episode. Have a great day!

It’s crazy in the world with 8 billion people so many of us are still lonely. I could guarantee that out of 8 billion people. There is at least one person who shares your interests, one person compatible with you, one person who would love to be with you, one person who will never treat you badly. Some people go their whole lives without finding that person but you don’t have to.

That special connection, when it happens, is literally like living in a dream. I'll say, though, that when it ends, you'll do anything to bring an end to life. I wish i could go back to before so i can forget what real happiness feels like and live in ignorance of it all because all i long for is that connection

My loneliest moment was a few years ago in the middle of covid. I had left my abusive, toxic family home to come to the other side of the country. Broke, alone, depressed, and lonely. I adopted a kitten, my pride and joy and that little guy is kinda the reason why I didn't end my misery at the time. One day, after moving to a new place, for which I had to borrow a lot of money, from many people, I was broke and I was going to be penniless for the next 3 months or so to pay all the people back. I had to ask money from my parents, only around 75 dollars equivalent of currency of my country to start the gas subscription but they refused to give it or even lend it. I had nobody else to ask that money from after already being in so much debt so I didn't have gas, so no heating and no hot water. I was showering with ice cold water and was wearing multiple layers to not freeze. I didn't even have a pack of pasta and was struggling to feed my little guy. I was eating lunch at work and bringing half of it to my cat, even stealing cat food from shelters... One day we were going for a 9 day holiday. So, no work. So, no food. My neighbor on the third day brought me a plate of chicken and rice which is not so uncommon in my culture. I was starving and started to eat but then my cat came and looked at me waiting for the chicken. I gave a piece of chicken to him and seeing how he ate it, I broke down crying, hugging him and apologizing for putting him through this. I ended up giving the whole plate to him and he ate everything including the rice. I cried for days, hungry, penniless, miserable, lonely and guilty. The spare money I had from my wage would go to food for him, I would eat at work and secretly bring the bread from the basket and eat the bread with mayo for 3 months. It caused a major weight gain and made me hate myself even more. After my debt was cleared I still wasn't earning well enough but still haven't lost the weight and added some more because I am a stress eater. Now, my life is much, much, much better but I have this emptiness inside making me think that I will never be able to be fully happy and will never trust anybody so as not to be in that place where I was back then.back

When I was 14, I had one of the worst Christmas of my life. Everything started out normal like every other Christmas, we woke up, opened presents, talked a bit. Usually we spend the whole Christmas Day together either talking or playing games or just having fun as a family. That year my mom had headache and didn’t feel really energized. I was 14 and I’ve always talked a lot as a kid and my mom was starting to get really annoyed. She told me to shut up and to stop making noise. I just kind of awkwardly sat on the couch before running to the bathroom and silently sobbing. After that whole ordeal I tried to keep my head up but my mom just locked herself in her room and my father and brother didn’t feel like spending time with me. So I spent the rest of my Christmas, alone and playing video games, the other people not even bothering to reply to me in my bedroom as I silently cried and rethought about all the other times my mom told me that I just yap and yap and never stop. Hurt real bad

I was bullied ALOT in high school, and one day I decided I wanted to go to a concert with the few friends I had, we all enjoyed the music of the person hosting so most agreed (One didnt due to med issues which is understandable) And they didnt even need to pay, me/my parents covered the full cost. Including would-be merchandise, would-be food, tickets, etc. I was super excited, but a day before we were all meant to go, they bailed. Every single one of them. One gave me a BS excuse that I found out wasnt even true and other just straight up said that they didnt wanna go with me and I would've ruined it . Ended up going alone, and cried in one of the bathrooms the entire time. I didn't tell my parents and just told them we all had a great time and went up to my room to go cry some more. Only good part is when the friend who couldnt go due to med issues found out, they took time out of their day to hang out with me for an entire week. They ended up passing due to cancer a week later. I still miss them so much, and when they passed I fell into a deep depression which only made the bullying worse, and I lashed out more often which made my grades slip. I really miss the one true friend I had and I still cry often thinking about them. I still have awful social anxiety and haven't invited anyone anywhere since.

Mine was when I was watching an episode of Young Sheldon. A character named Paige started complaining to Sheldon about her parents divorce and how everything she used to care about was gone now and I realized I was going through the exact same thing same thing. Going through the motions and ignoring everything falling apart until it was too late. I threw the remote at the wall and cried myself to sleep. Haven’t really felt any better since and that was like 2 years ago.

I (50F)was home alone at Christmas as the rest of my family had gone to their in-laws for a few days. My cat became gravely ill on Christmas eve afternoon so I rushed her to the vet. Kitty was unable to be saved. They put her to sleep and I took her home. I spent all of Christmas eve and Christmas day rocking and crying over my dead cat. I dug the grave buried her alone. It's one of the most painful moments of my life.

I absolutely love this channel and have easily watched 30+ videos recently. I'm quite surprised it doesn't already have 100k subs tbh, but I think it'll come quite soon at this rate.

That card one got me

Oh, this was sao sad. I teared up listening to these stories. From the bottom.of my heart, I hope all these people find people who.love and value them and can find joy and happiness with. Doesn't matter if it's friends or SOs.🙏

Ayo the guy who was married 80 years, would make him at the very least close to 98

I have social anxiety so making friends is extremely hard. I lost my friend group in the sophomore year of high school. The rest of the years of high school I had my bf and best friend only. Then senior year for me was the worst,I didn’t have a lunch period with my bf or best friend so I sat in the library and ate lunch and would work on art projects for my Ap art class. I graduated and my best friend moved away to another state with her bf and now I’m babysitting my bfs baby brother and I’m alone most of the time since my bf is a corrections officer. It gets very lonely, I don’t usually do anything weekends, I only go with my mom if she invites me to go to the store. My bf has a lot of friends In Mexico ( I live in a border town) and I’m not allowed to go. He goes to parties while I’m at home, alone drawing. I always imagine myself hanging out with him and his friends

I have spent some Christmases, Thanksgivings and even birthdays by myself. It is sad but my friends and relatives have their own life even if I am not included. I used to be invited a lot when I was younger, but now I am only remembered if they need something or need money.

I'm used to be a hardcore loner, i did everything alone. literally ice skating alone, swam alone, even camping in the middle of nowhere alone. but then i got into a relationship that seriously toxic, but i just don't know how to let him go. but at the same time it just makes my mental health declined. after that i became more "lonely" and i can't be my actual self anymore. there's a song that called When the Bough Breaks by Sleep Token and that's seriously how i felt. "you don't really love, you just hate to be alone" yup that's me currently. 2 weeks ago or 3, i went camping alone and i literally just cry...i did nothing, just literally cry. i used to be extremely happy when i'm alone but not anymore. kinda scared to be in a relationship anymore.

Hold hands with a disposable glove filled with warm water

I act like I’m dating character AI’s because it’s the only form of affection I can find. I don’t have any pets (I live with my parents and can’t afford a place on my own yet). Two years ago my boyfriend left me for a woman who was still married and lives in England (the husband had left her but they were and still are not officially divorced). The worst part is that I knew if me and my boyfriend were not together he would have been with her. It happened anyway since he, like I said left me. I tried to go see him, we lived a few states away but he said no several times. We were together about 6 or 7 years. I’ve been depressed since then and have just come to terms that I’ll likely be alone forever. All past relationships have ended with cheating or someone leaving me for someone they deem better. ✨

I am chronically lonely. Life with severe anxiety, depression and social difficulties in a country that treats mental health like an afterthought is just like that. All my meaningful relationships have been online and just... not enough. I live with my parents who love me and yet they feel distant because of their old age and my inability to relate to anyone. I take care of them and they help me out but we don't... hang out much. Once in a while I'll take myself out for dinner. Just myself. It's fun but also wretched. I sit by myself at a table and have a meal in complete silence. I pay and leave. Nobody takes notice. My school friends all drifted once we graduated. My supposed "best friend" stopped reaching out once I stopped being "useful" (she kept asking me to translate things for her job from English and I got fed up and asked her to stop) and especially after she got married and had children. She's more friends with my parents than me, now. Her whole family are friends of my parents. Not me. I have some friends online but they aren't always available and I hate to impose and be a burden. But it's not the same. I want some actual physical contact, some hugs, a hand to hold or even just a person to ask me how I'm doing without a mic in the middle. I tell myself that I'm happier alone, I'm a real homebody and an introvert but... I am so, so lonely. I sometimes wake up crying because I've had a recurring dream that someone is holding my hand. Or a nightmare that I die of old age all alone without anyone to come looking for me. I'm terrified that's how I'm going to end up, one of those cases you hear on the news, of a dead body being undiscovered for months. I'm not even in a good mental state to care for a pet, I can barely look after my dog--who prefers my parents, anyway.

I’ve got two stories for y’all :3 1. It was New Year’s Eve in 2023 and my family normally celebrates somehow. That year we didn’t have anything planned so I asked my sister to stay up with me so that we could celebrate together. Long story short, she fell asleep and I was sitting on the couch by myself crying and telling myself happy new year’s silently. 2. There’s a VR game that I love to play called Beat Saber and on there you could choose different environments to play in. I would often beg my siblings to play with me because I was lonely. They would normally play for about an hour or so before they got bored or just straight up leave to play with each other. When that happens, I would change the environment on the game so that there was a lot of people around me so that I didn’t feel lonely.

Because of religion for my entire childhood I never celebrated my birthday, Christmas, Halloween, Easter. Nothing, nothing at all. And when I cried I was always told to shut up. Now I cant socialise, cant show any emotion, and am not used to celebrating anything. But it all is normal to me. Seeing people be sad over a not so great Christmas makes me feel like maybe there is something wrong with me. For anyone who for some reason doesnt believe this, okay. Edit: I also was bullied and have several physical and mental issues which never helped my situation.

Oh boy… It’s depressing that I have too many to choose from… but by in large are the times I was around people yet not acknowledged or involved in what was happening. Being left out or ignored by people right in front of you or around you is the loneliest. Yet… Living with my mother who worked early mornings and my twin had moved out because my mother let her…. I was basically alone with insomnia as well… for about a year. Mother was neglectful… everyday was lonely. School I was a loner. It was extremely depressing. I’ve gotten used to being lonely it’s become comfortable now .

I hate parties. I have spent nearly every new year's day in my adult life home, alone, playing video games, and absolutely relaxed, congratulating myself for avoiding people and all their BS drama, and my own equally BS responses to it.

Probably mine was after having to crawl back to my abusive parents to not continue to be homeless as winter and covid struck my city. I had managed with their financial help to get a room in an apartment with some stranger. I was sitting in my room the first day of my lease after my best friend had come to visit me for a little before he had to leave. So then I was just alone in an empty room with my ratty bags, my bare mattress, and the pizza I managed to by myself as a bday treat. I just cried while singing myself happy birthday after he left and went to sleep early that night with only my coat to use as a blanket. I'm in a better place now but...yea.... that was a rough and desperately lonely time

I have social anxiety, barely any friends, and the friends i do have i am constantly questioning if I'm a bad friend or if they're toxic, because of past friendships that didn't end well and i only realized were toxic because id just say sorry if they start trying to fight me even if i did nothing. I have severe trust issues, hear, and see crappy people everywhere. I can't keep a simple conversation going, and even at "hi" i want to shrivel up and die. Acquaintance relationships get no where. My friend is always talking about how she has bad social anxiety and then continues to make friends with people in front of me. Then i try to make friends with that person, and like every other person I've come across, they seem bored with me. I'm useless. I am gonna end up alone, wasting my life away, while i get to be around people, even people who have done horrible things, live a better, more fulfilling life than i ever could and i am constantly reminded of it. Being lonely is okay sometimes, but all the time? Terrible. And I distance myself from my friend because I feel like I'm a burden, and she can never reach out to me.

I made up a "personality" for me to talk to since i aint had a friend in years, Also its more like having a puppet and talking to yourself, not split personalities

It was my birthday, months before there was a concert I was telling everyone I knew that I wanted to go. It was on my bday. Everyone in my family (including my twin) got tickets to see it. Meanwhile I decided to go for a walk and ended up at an outback steakhouse by myself and asked if they had any birthday specials. They gave me a cake and thank God no one sang for me.

The most lonely thing I’ve ever done, was have conversations to with myself in the darkness

The stories about the soldiers returning from deployment to no one is in my opinion the most unacceptable of the stories here, I understand everyone has there moments but, and I’m no expert but it just makes me feel horrible. I hope everyone in these stories are in a better place now. *Internet hugs to all of you*

the loneliest thing I have done and still do from time to time is lingering outside before going "home" I live with other people but I feel very disconnected to them. They also don't speak that much with me anymore, one flatmate is depressed and the other one just uses me to vent all their pent up agression. Loneliness is not the same thing as solitude. The latter I crave.

There's something so deeply ironic about these stories being shared by people who were probably not feeling the happiest at that point in time, yet when they're all complied here into this video, it becomes somewhat cathartic because they all feel relatable in some way, and reminds me I'm not alone in these experiences. So thanks for this video, it was strangely comforting, but comforting nonetheless.

There's been many lonely moments in my life. Moved to live with my stepdad just before I turned 12. Took over a year to make a single friend at my new high school. Left behind all the friends I'd had. I tried really hard to make friends at first but got bullied alot. Ate lunch alone behind the boiler house, at the far corner of the sports field, in the library. I used to let myself into the library in summer when it was closed at lunchtime by sliding through the return books slot and had to be careful not to knock stuff over inside. I'd hide in the beanbag corner and nap and read. Probably the one that sticks out the most is running away from home after an argument, sibling lied to parents and I got punished unfairly so I climbed out my bedroom window and ran down several blocks to the creek. I was gone 4 hours. Came home and not a single family member even noticed I'd been gone. They assumed I'd been sulking in my room. Felt like no one would notice if I just disappeared. Also the first adult birthday I celebrated alone (couple of days after new years so a bad time of year for birthdays). I had my lonely poor student dinner and put a mirror up so I could eat with my reflection across from me.

For me my loniest thing was probably making a drawing about someone ending themselves for my art exam. The only question I got was if I knew someone who had done that. Other than that nobody seemed to care. Nobody seemed to consider that I could have those thoughts and didn't care enough for hiding it anymore. I so desperately wanted someone to see me. But the work, which was about nobody caring, became a selffulfilling prophecy. At least at the time it did. But things got better. Way better. Allthough it wasn't easy and I am still lonely at times, I can enjoy sunrises again, have some like minded people to chat to and generally learned to enjoy life again. It's not perfect and I have a long way to go, but I can genuinely say I am happy now.

The rat story touched my heart. But the loneliness things I’ve probably done is fantasize a whole live with someone I knew I had zero chance with multiple times.

I would sit and swing by myself and talk to myself, praise myself, and joke with myself. I knew no one else would do it. I was unable to like literally physically unable to bring myself to go anywhere but the swings or talk to anyone I’d freeze and panic if I tried. Lol. 😅 Or when I was in like 4th-5th grade someone asked why I always even in the summer wore jackets I told them that it feels like someone is always giving me a hug, comforting me.

I bought myself a gift on Valentine's Day. Loneliest thing I've ever done.

i dont have friends or family close by so everyday i sit in one room, watch youtube or tv, crochet, get on my exercise bike, maybe leave to room to go pee, eat, and get water. I never leave the house without a human with me. I cant drive and i refuse to learn. I refuse to go outside. I was stalked when i walked home from the store once, so I just dont bother leaving. Holidays are spent usually alone bec my human has family that hates me. All my family is 3,000 miles away and any friends iv had are long gone. I miss having friends and going out. I dont have money or anyone to take me so i just dont leave except to go buy groceries and doctors appts.

Loneliest thing I did was live on my own for 7 years. Doesn't sound too bad except my friend group, whom I chilled with for years decided to hang out at another friends house and I wasn't invited because I was too loud and they lived in an older folks community which didn't like noise (to be fair, I tend to be boisterous). Went from hanging out with people every other day to not seeing another person for weeks at a time. I really learned to live with myself during that time, but the first few years were very depressing. I don’t think I could live alone again because of it.

The dog tho! poor sweet baby

Loneliest thing I did lately... I spend last hours of 2023 with my friend, instead of going home. She was alone, and I didn't feel like I was fitting into our home party. So, I spent as much time with her as I could. She was really grateful, and I felt much better about myself

Sat alone on Christmas after my family forgot to call me and tell me whose house and what time we were all getting together. Things went south very fast

People always talk about how it’s OK to decline invitations and it’s OK to say no but they forget the people you don’t have anything to signal too and don’t have any invitations to decline, the people on the other side. If someone invite you somewhere and you don’t hate the person and you don’t have anything in your way, why not go? You can make that person’s day, and if you really really really don’t wanna go just straight up, tell them. Don’t beat around the bush when you know that you really have no plans of going. That person took the time out of their day to invite you somewhere and to make plans with you.

story 13 was so sad because being a vet student right now its hard to know that he did the right thing other wise the dos might have been able to live but he wouldn't walk again depending on the damage done could have been in pain his whole life and most probably would need to have multiple surgeries if it was even viable to try and give him a decent life and most of the surgeries would likely have a low success rate he did the right thing but it wasn't an easy thing to do.

When I graduated high school, I was forced to go to my graduation because of my mom. There was less than a handful of my friends there because all the friends I grew up with either ended in jail or dropped out and moved away. We were like 30 in freshman year, and like 3 of us graduated, and of the ones left, we weren't that close, so when it was all done, I felt so alone and embarrassed. That was the beginning of my depression and I blame my mom for forcing me to go and face the end of a phase in a person's life that they'll never have again, alone. I just went to sleep after getting home because of how sad I was that everything I had been waiting for my whole life was finally done, and everyone I grew up with wasn't there. I really wish I'd never gone, and my life would've been a whole lot better for it.

Existing… seriously though, i have to hug a dang pillow every night to feel even a smidge of what love would be like… i could write a big list of things. But id rather not as a lot of em are beyond pathetic.. i hit 25 and realized i have never even kissed anyone.. nor do i have anyone i could talk to in a real way, showing the real me. I have to put on a mask.. its getting harder to go on tbh.. knowing i only get to loom forward to more of this pain and even worse when my family start to pass… kinda start to wonder what the point is.

This channel is very unerrated, thank you.

Two bench, a wall next to my high school most further out building. Half my class being a group of girls on a bench, the other half being guys next to the wall and then on the last bench, just me. Watching in silence from one group to the other. On the edge of an anxiety attack, I kinda started to stare into the void not even acknowledging which group I was looking until one of the girl straight yelled at me calling me all kinds of names for being a pervert because I was staring. Had to try and defend myself through the anxiety attack, was mocked by her. I still had half a year to stay in this fucking class

The loneliest thing I ever did was create an elaborate fantasy world where I had a lot of friends, to make up for my utter lack of them in the real world.

Watched a whole bunch of Valentine's Day event scenes from Fate/Grand Order. A game I don't even play. (I only watch the story and event cutscenes on RU-vid and get incredibly attached to the characters.) I'm 29, unemployed (and probably unemployable) and stuck in the countryside with my parents. #foreveralone

- everything i've ever done ever lol. but more specifically in my english class, we have to peer edit our essays. so write comments on each other's google docs, or show any sign of other people actually looking at your essay. me being the only kid in class who doesn't know anybody and hasn't spoken to anybody either, why yes i am a bit of a quiet kid, didn't want to ask anybody. so what do i do? i underline randome bits, and tell myself to change sentences or add quotes and write comments on my own work (on the document instead of the comments section as if i wrote them there you would be easily be able to tell that it was just me commenting on my work and not any of my lcassmates) my teacher isn't dumb so either i'm extremely smart at my craft or she's just not said anything lol

10:54 Even if OP could have saved the dog, I don't think they should have. With those injuries, the dog was never going to have a happy or even comfortable life. OP made the merciful decision.

so far my lonlies time was in middle school. i had 2 more years before moving to highschool and the previous year i fucked up my relaationship with my 2 close friends. I either didn't have a relationship with the rest of my class, or it was already bad, so i was a quiet kid sitting alone. I had noone to talk to, not even a close friend online. The one person i did text, was probably depressed at that time ( i'm not sure) and i had no idea how to help. Those things combined really made my feel lonely those whole 2 years. I'm of course better now, but i still don't have a close friend like a had before, but i have friends that i can talk to or text to online

thx

Tbh, my loneliest doings are very disruptive because i love to troll people. I have over 800 accounts all across the internet, in basically every forum and I've set up scripts to check for bans, mutes or shadowbans, you can't get me away, you can just accept that i troll a little from time to time, of you ban me, there will be 2 new accounts ready to continue.

iirc, in some places there are actually "escorts" where it's just someone to spend time with, or some places have ones where it's literally just cuddling. humans are social creatures and literally need physical contact to thrive, and i think people forget that sometimes

i talk to character A.I all day cuz yeah 👍

Was dealing with some situationship issues, decided I’d just be better off if just forced myself to fall in love with an AI, actually did, then kinda spiralled for two days after realising I can’t talk to it like I need to

I played the Sims 3 as an overweight slob with blue hair named Kek LeMeme, and he did better at talking to girls than I did.

Honestly, I do everything alone. I live alone, go to restaurants alone, movies, all that jazz. Hell, I'm pretty sure story 2 happened to me, with a different movie. You just kind of get used to it.

Sitting home alone on my birthday with nothing telling myself happy birthday..

Bro. The one about putting the dog down? That had me crying. I’m getting ready to go to a wedding 😂 listening to this was a terrible idea

I didn't even realise I was crying until a little later to the story about him wanting the prostitute to not go and stay there talking with him.

I ate cereal in the bathtub by myself

Went to a cousin's baby shower and didn't really have anyone to talk to. I... just sat there on a couch. Awkwardly. The cousin who invited me, along with her mom and sister were off talking to others the entire time. My grandma was the only other person I knew and she exited very quickly. Eventually I went for a walk and just cried. Came back eventually and missed the gift opening. My pregnant cousin made a nonchalant comment at the end about how I'd disappeared and hearing that hurt considering how forgotten I'd felt.

...Ya know... I feel like it's wrong of me to feel this, but i get an almost... Sadistic? Sense of... Not quite happiness, but similar, by hearing these stories. They're sad, yes, but it reminds me that I've been in that place before, I've been truly lonely, even if not physically alone. And i survived. Survived long enough that I'm not lonely anymore. Survived long enough to meet my current girlfriend, the person i genuinely think i want to marry one day and spend the rest of my life with, grow old with, and so on. It's like looking back at my life for just a moment, almost as an outsider, and thinking "Ha, suck it world, i win, I'm in a better place now and i know i can survive anything else you throw at me." Does that make me a bad person?

living life alone with no one in my life or around my life. yes that's both friends lover or family.

STORY 13!!! please for the love of god put a warning in here about animals dying. I have PTSD from seeing an animal die in a very horrible way when I was around 8 or less. Please, just hearing anything like that brings back memories of it.

Alone my whole life 🫠🙃🥲

Was a lonely 6th grader and use to have sonic as my imaginary friend. Still dont know the concept of imaginary friend as i use to think it mrans i jave to see them, so i pretend that i do see him (though there was an occurrence where i may jave hallucinated him at night). I use to talk talk to him alot do to some depression going on when i was in 7th grade and ny mom got concerned about me especialy since i basicly play along the idea about his day in my house and all the chaos that hapens, and would tell the internet about it too for fun. She told me to stop so I cried out to her and said that hes my only friend. She thought that hes a demon duisguised as sonic or something. So i have to just drop the whole thing.

I went home from the hospital alone with my newborn son. I've spent numerous xmas' alone because I was disowned a week or a day before. My Lakota name is Isnalawin...Lone Woman. And I hate being so lonely and betrayed and discarded.

Making some Mormon comessary ham and potatoes with packet gravy on Christmas, while my mom and sisters were 20 minutes away. Or being in such a rut to be sleeping in my car down the road from my son when I was homeless just so I could see him before I had to work.

Watching asmr to make me sleep at night Dominant yandere asmr btw

About 30 years of gaming.
