You Are NOT Alone 

DeWayne, I'm a 48-year-old man here in the old country, (England). I just want to say that your videos have meant a lot to me in so many ways over the past year or two, when at times, I have felt certain things crashing around me. You have given me a sense that the eternal still matters out there somewhere and reminded me of how I lost touch with nature and what it truly is to be human and a man. God bless you, sir.

“We’re not alone; we’re just not in the same room.” Just lovely. Thank you.

Dwayne, I lost my wife last year of 24 years. Together, we had 4 kids. I've been tasked since her passing to finish what we both started. I was turned onto your channel months ago by my 18 year old son. Your words, your outlook, have been a blessing to me. Thank you.

Loneliness/depression has a way of convincing you that you are the only one that's experiencing it. The mind is often your worst enemy

As someone who will be spending her 23rd Christmas alone here are a few things that have got me through that I hope may help: 1. Like Dwayne says - speak to strangers. Smile at the road worker, bus driver or postal worker - they may be having a bad day too 2. If you're alone at Christmas go volunteer at a food bank or homeless shelter - that'll put Life into perspective, trust me! 3. Remember - Christmas is only three days long then life gets back to normal 4. If the Christmas festivities, carols, TV adverts etc trigger you, get your food shopping delivered to your home instead 5. Instead of seeing 'couples' everywhere you go look for the man trudging home alone in the dark; or the woman looking sad on the bus - they may well be going home to an empty home too so smile and wish them "Happy Christmas" in passing It's tough being alone in life and if I could lift this burden off people I'd do so in a heartbeat. Stay strong - you are not alone, I promise.

I cant lie, i’ve gotten more knowledge and insight from you than I have from anyone in my family. I dont think you understand how much you’ve impacted my life and others. Thank you

“Our Bible is hidden down at the bottom of our duffel bag and until we bring out and lay it out on the bed. Ain’t nobody else gon bring their’s out and lay it on the bed either!” A word! Great video, thank you!

"No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you." ― Carl Jung (citing an Alchemist)

I am not a Christian, but I believe in God and ask for his guidance often. I live alone, in the mountains in interior Alaska.. Don’t really have any friends, nor family.. but I have found that the more I talk to “God” (whatever that may be), the less alone I feel.

Y'know, I almost did not click on this video, but something told me to. I'm a 25 year old truck driver (who hauls milk for a living), who has no significant others, no stable house to come home to, or a family that I can see regularly. I've been feeling exhausted with life and lonely every day for a long time now. Hearing you mention my exact job title made me tear up uncontrollably, and it felt like something is calling out to me to do something about my life. Thank you, I will be weighing out my options now and seeing what change I can do to better my life.

This is posted at one of the biggest low points in my life it all feels better hearing someone who’s so wise explain how to make changes thanks.

Never lose hope, no matter how insane the world around you may feel.

Funny thing about people! Some people don't believe in God until they Need God! I need God and Jesus every day of my life! That's a fact! God Bless you all

this is not a channel, it is a guide for life. I'm an Italian guy, university student of computer science and car enthusiast, I know nothing about horses and I found this channel by chance on the home page some time ago...I clicked on that video and it was a blessing. In my journey I have a lot of difficulty and it seems that everything is going the wrong way...We are far away, we don't know each other, but you have no idea how much you are helping me

I appreciate this. I currently am almost bed ridden due to a car accident and back injury. Been difficult few weeks, family is far away, can't help take care of little ones. I feel alone. I am NOT alone. God bless you sir

Another thing I would like to add is the importance of not hiding your true thoughts and opinions because of the fear of being judged/excluded. You may be surrounded but many people who think the same way but if everyone is afraid and silent you all are going to feel alone in this world. Once I started expressing my authentic self, like-minded people started coming into my life like magnets.

1 million subscribers soon. Keep teaching us, good sir.

Hey everyone if you have had a bad experience in a church don't give up on finding a good church. There are still some good ones out there. The Lord says in His word that we are not supposed to forsake the gathering together of the saints. The Lord calls us who are followers of Jesus saints not because we are good in ourselves but because He is good in us when we allow His holy spirit to work through us. It's called a relationship not a religion. Please folks don't let some hypocrites in some churches keep you from spending eternity with the Lord Jesus. I pray this helps someone today. In Jesus Name. AMEN!

“we’re not alone, we’re just not in the same room.” thank you for this wisdom Dwayne!

Just in time when my dad had a sermon in our church today about not being alone. Thank you so much!

Sitting around the campfire with Dewayne would be on my bucket list if I had one. We are not alone and we are the majority! True words brother. God bless you and your family.

Dwayne, as a 50 year old guy myself living on the borderline between the city and country, I see the best and worst of both existences. My family has all passed away from illness, drugs, suicide, and everything in between until i was the only one left. Although I'm alone, I appreciate you spreading the message to other guys and especially the younger ones because there is some dark forces at work these days trying to tear our men down. Keep up the good work brother.

Being a former chaplain for the trucking industry, I completely understand your sentiment. I left the faith many years ago and finally found peace through Taoism. I'm 46 years old, have been physically alone for many years, and far away from family. Recently, I have been going through very serious issues and had no transport for even basic needs. Called an Uber for the first time in my life. The driver literally was going through the same thing I was, got to my destination, and saw an old friend. He, too, was suffering from similar issues. My current situation hasn't been resolved yet, but my mental health has... because I know I'm never alone. Hope my perspective also helps someone. Dewayne, your wisdom is like sowing a seed in the wilderness. You never know what will grow and benefit in the future. Thank you, sir.

Thank you Dewayne for flapping your gums to everyone in this world who appreciates your integrity and insights! God bless you and yours, sir!

Je suis loin de votre pays mais pourtant votre vision des choses m'inspire grandement... En France, nous avons beaucoup de problèmes aussi. C'est sûrement une sorte de ruralité qui nous rapproche, un respect pour les traditions et la nature aussi. Continuez comme ça Monsieur.

Awe, man! It’s a shame that so many people have bad experiences with church. I’m grateful to have the church family that I have. The sad reality is, church is full of broken people and hurt people, hurt people. I pray you find a local gathering that exemplifies Christ. They do exist.

“We’re not alone, we’re just not all in the same room” thank you for your help

Hello, I’m a 21 yr old man here in the good ol United States. (South Dakota). And I just wanted to comment a quote that I felt was very appropriate to this video and I want to share it. “Just continue doing your thing with as much integrity and love as possible.” I empathize with all peoples and I am optimistic about a better future. Because the laws of the universe state that as above so below. And the evil has been out weighing good for far too long. The pendulum is swinging in the other direction. Things take time and revolution doesn’t happen overnight. I know we’re all struggling. but remain optimistic and good luck!

Your stories are fascinating! To some, you are as a father figure, that comforts them and encourages them to stay on the right path, your life seemed to have been full of wonderful experiences, and stories of encouragement. God bless you, thank you for being here for us.

Hi Dwayne! Found your channel a few months ago and my husband is still deployed and I’m in the last trimester of pregnancy now. Going to church and confession, keeping up with friends and hearing more about God has made the wait more peaceful, taking it day by day and coping with seasons and changes. God doesn’t give us a challenge we can’t overcome with him. Thanks for your videos!

Jesus is Lord 🙏

As a follower of Sri Raam (Hinduism), I’m still able to resonate with many of the teachings of Jesus. Loneliness started to hit me hard as I got older, but when I found my Lord, I felt His eternal presence. His mercy and His forgiveness is what holds me in my darkest despair. His name nurtures me when I’m starved. Jai Sri Raam God Bless❤️

Hello! My name is Dumitru and I am from the Republic of Moldova, a very small country with not much of a future. I am 21 years old and I think that my life is just beginning because at the moment I am not in my country, I am studying in Romania because I am trying my best to have a good future in what I can do, what I am good at is art and I am studying interior design. I made a small presentation so that you could get to know me at least a little and my situation in general at the moment. I wanted to say that since I discovered your channel about different topics of discussion about life and about your stories from the past, I wanted to say that it motivates me a lot and you lift me up in difficult moments in my life. When I watch your videos, it makes me feel that I have someone with whom I can discuss different topics that interest me as well, and in the last video, which is about the topic of "You are not alone...", it made me write more this message and thank you very much for somehow helping me to get through my difficult stages in life and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. If you're reading this message, thank you very much for what you're doing because it helps me to re-motivate myself in the things I do at the moment because lately I've been lost in my thoughts again, I was without motivation, I was sad that I didn't have money (And now I don't have money because I'm a student but I'm doing my best to do something to have this money :) ahhaha) and I was sad that I was far from home without my parents by my side. And when I wanted to beat myself up I simply said yes to watch your videos and they motivated me again. A big thank you once again from me, keep making videos like this because there are people who are lost and you are the person who talks them out of reality and makes them stand up again. A big greeting from Moldova and I really hope to meet you in reality and say these words to your face.

Paul Tillich, a Lutheran Theologian wrote that God is the “Ground of all Being”. So when we see good folks, and yes a good horse a good dog…..God, Christ is with us. When we can see the creator in all beings…we are never alone. That’s why it’s important to be in the “silent majority” that sees this. 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for your post.

God bless you, Dewayne. Since accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior I have felt very alone. I’ve grown out of my friend group and been discouraged to meet new friends. Thank you for your words, I could listen to you tell stories from the Bible all day haha. Peace and Love brothers and sisters ❤

2 Corinthians 5:10 NLT - For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.

This man is like the father I never had. My Dad and stepdad love me, sure, but one is absent, and the latter; an alcoholic. Sometimes, when my ship hits rough seas and the shit hits the fan, I come to Dwayne's channel to absorb the wisdom that helps me weather the storm. Thank you, Dwayne. You are highly influential to me.

Your videos are always so inspiring. They're in a playlist of mine called Advice from Dwayne. As a 30 year old male, I understand being alone and loneliness. Felt it in 2022 with losing my mom and going thru so much grief. However I've mustered thru countless obstacles while regaining my peace and solitude to be the man I want to be. I'm still continuing those obstacles as everyone will. I've entered an acceptance state of mind. You can never tell what someone is going thru these days. Most days I'm thankful with what I have and what I can continue to do for myself along with those around me. Hope everyone has a good Sunday and a wonderful week ahead.

I’m an 18 year old girl, this was the most relatable video I’ve ever seen. And so encouraging. Dewayne, i am so thankful for you

Your nature and way of speaking reminds me of my late husband who passed last May. He had a cam and gentle way of talking to others. But don’t get it confused, he was a man! Much like you. My husband could build things. He knew how to grow nice gardens. He could fix anything. He was a really good man that i loved, admired and respected. I sure miss him sometimes. Thank you for your videos. You are the man, father grandpa, so many people never had to talk to them in a calm and uplifting way. God bless you and your wife. May you always feel His love and never feel alone either. We are all here, grateful for the time you take and all the effort you put into these videos. ❤

It doesn't matter if we are the majority if we aren't organized.

My heart goes out to anyone who is suffering. I know it hurts. I wish for your healing and for you to thrive again. Life can be both cruel and generous. I wish the best to everyone out there. -Best Wishes

When you feel the most alone you've ever felt.. as if nothing will ever be okay again.. please know in your heart that Jesus is there ❤❤❤❤❤ you are not alone ❤❤❤❤❤

Women out there also connecting with this cowboy's message. Thank you, Dwayne🌲

I’m an atheist to the core but I understand that feeling of needing to know that I’m not alone. There are good men all over, as you say, many of whom are suffering through this life. There’s great solace in knowing that you’re not alone. Thank you, Sir.

Just that title alone. That's what I needed to see today. Dewayne thank you. I haven't even watched the video but I know I will thank you. I truly can't wait for that book of yours!

Thank you sir. Im a truckdriver spending all my days on the road. Seeing how some people with that wicked mindset are trying to take over. Like you say, they are a very small group but making a lot of noise. I don't like them/that. I have some friends who are like me , let's say, old-school. Do we have to take that crap that they want us to live by? No we don't and I never will .. I wish there were more people who would speak their mind and not being afraid of what others will think. We are still a majority, I'm sure, but no one comes out and say it. Nowadays you can't say what you standing for without risking to be prosecuted. That's imo why most of us stay silent Thanks again for this post .

We might feel alone, and sometimes we actually are. But if we stay open we automatically gravitate to people who are similar and we connect on a unconcious Level. Sometimes just for some hours but I prefer quality over quantatity in almost every case.

I know from experience that there are a lot of bad churches out there, but i also know that there are a lot of good ones too. I look at it like this, people will let you down, but Jesus has never and will never let me down. It is Jesus that I serve, so other people's opinions about me don't really matter. Thank you for another video, I realize this time of year is tough for a lot. I just want to encourage everyone, to put their trust and hope in Jesus. You won't be disappointed. Establish a daily prayer time, and ask God to lead and guide you into all truth- and He will. Read His Word. God bless

as a woman watching your channel, the biggest cultural trend that hurts us females are men who are unwilling to commit. some of us are good, honest women with big hearts and lots of love to give. but we live in a world that’s says it’s okay to use us for sexual gratification and then leave. that’s not what a good man does and lots of find ourselves in places where we can’t find a real man who wants to provide and be there for us, so we can live in our feminine energy. i know im not alone in this, just looking for that good man out there.

You do a wonderful job in communicating your thoughts. I’m an 80 year old and every time I listen to your channel I always walk away feeling a little better and a little wiser. Thank you for what you do my friend.

Dewayne, your simple advice on cowboy vs rodeo energy has helped me tons over the past year. I appreciate these videos, thank you.

I've been watching your videos on TikTok with full-destroyed mental health and a big hole of loneliness, and this notification pulls up. Thank you❤️

Not just gifted gab, you have a wide range of knowledge and experience, your straight and true, and have integrity and care we trust and appreciate. A timely timely message again. Thankyou

Two divorces…. Over 22 years…then a 15 year relationship … I never found a real man… I was never appreciated… it just didn’t work out for me… now I’d rather be alone than living in a bad relationship just because. Thankyou for this video. I just became a subscriber and look forward to watching all your videos ❤

Mr Dwayne.., this was a great sermon, Thankyou Sir 👍

Your videos help me a lot. Always fighting clinically diagnosed depression and you name it. Am alone except for my dog all the time now. Was hit by a car that ran a red a few years back and it left me pretty damaged. I foolishly did my own damage by drinking soda and getting diabetes. I really appreciate this one DeWayne, as I’ve been pretty close to cracking. Just wanted to say I appreciate your videos, shared experiences, wisdom, and giving me something to look forward to as I need things like that these days. Only reason I’m still here is I don’t want to abandon my dog.

Thank you Mr. Dwayne, your words of wisdom help me daily sir.

This guy hits home when we need it. 8:35 - 8:41 damn right 11:00 - 11:53 great message from the Bible.

my weekly dose of quality advice and information, thanks man

Well put. We don't talk anymore. We isolate ourselves and others with electronics. We all need to talk. Say hello. Sometimes it's all that person needed to be acknowledged. Blessings to all during this Holiday Season.

I love your wisdom and stories. Thank you, Dwayne! God bless you

I love this. The good people are definitely not speaking up enough and sharing on media. I'm so glad you talk about these issues. That's so inspirational 😁

You are just so relatable. Watched your channel for a while. No, I have no interest in smoking or horses. I’m not much of a Christian but not here to put it down in any way. But what I do enjoy is that you help me to learn how to slow down and seek clarity. It’s easy to be caught up trying to make a living and respected that somewhere along the journey, you abandon even the simple things that made you who you are and what get you out of bed in the morning. And I feel like many of us are just chasing someone else’s dreams, and man I’m so tired of being so tired.

Man I've been watching Dewayne's videos for several months now and I can't express how grateful I am for having found this channel. The messages that you put out are so valuable and needed that is feels like a fresh breeze in a hot day. God bless you all folks

I needed this. Thanks man 🙏🏻.

I like your show. It’s different. I work extra days in Dec. It’s mandatory. But it keeps me from sitting around, alone, feeling sorry for myself.

Duwayne, these talks of yours are deep, thought provoking and powerful. I know many are aimed at younger men, but I'm almost 46 years old and I'm man enough to admit that, while I may have learned a thing or two in life, I still have so much to learn. You've taught me a lot about life that I thought I already new. Some of your talks, including this one have also helped me through some pretty difficult periods and I can't thank you enough for that. God bless you and yours.

Greetings from San Antonio. Thank you for this timely word. It was a blessing to listen to this.

Thank you Dwayne God bless🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

this message ..story is what we needed... thank You.

Thank you, Dwayne. I have a Christian background but had gotten away from that lifestyle and living it daily. I recently had to start AA meetings to get back to a life that I can be proud of and my family can be proud of. Can’t wait for the book so that I can keep you on the shelf for tough times. Keep on, brother.

Dewayne you are a thinker no doubt about it. Just came off a particularly lonely Thanksgiving myself, what a graceful reminder this video is of goodness. I think theres a lot to say, too, about pulling out your bible from the bottom of the duffle bag first. Although sometimes I feel like its very hard to do. I think this holiday season ill try and be that kinda person. Last years holidays were definitely more lonely, and i wont let it become chronic. Thank you again

I love these talks! Thank you sir! Some of us do feel alone in this crazy world! Not so easy trying to be a good strong man

Hey Dewayne, thanks a lot for all the wisdom you provide to so much people. I'm in France, I'm studying therapy, NonViolent communication, self development and men's circles. And your vision, explanations and advices represent perfectly the ideas that I want to transmit to everyone I encounter. I'm very grateful that a man like you takes time to tell about his journey, his life experiences and how to find positivity in life in all that blurry immensity. Thanks for that !

I might add: Smile at a stranger, even if they have blue hair and gauges in their ears. Hold the door for someone. It's still a kind gesture that almost everyone appreciates. Make small talk with a cashier. Share an anecdote. Make a pop culture reference. Do anything that shows your human side. I've been practicing this, and it drastically reduces my feelings of cynicism, judgment, and isolation. I think it was Dolly Parton that sang, "You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine". Thank you, Dewayne.

Thank you, sir. You stopped me from suicide 😢

You are humble and have so much wisdom. Not just an amazing communicator.

Thank you for this video dwayne i really needed it im not feeling so well mentally right now and your videos do help

Wise words as always. I used to be a real loner introvert type of guy. But over recent years I broke out of my shell and have made a dozen or so friends. I mean good close friends. I’ve made a lot of relationships. I have friendships and strong family connections. But i am still no stranger to being alone. I have never made any significant advances in any sort of romantic relationship. I am only 18 so take my words for what they are worth. But I’ve never had a girlfriend or anything that involves. I am going to get one, I don’t know how but I will no doubt about it. I know a lot of young guys my age who have never had any romance and don’t even know where to start. I don’t know if you got any advice Dewayne, but if you do I’d love to hear it.

I'm single truck driver without a home it don't get that much more alone then this

You have been blessed with the gift of gab & story telling. Thank you for sharing with us. Blessings to you & Momma😊

Love ya brother, love your heart, your Spirit, and your Gift of communicating & story telling. Have a WONDERFUL Christmas season and ttul.

thank u for the video much respect from turkey

Greatly appreciated in these very evil times. I know I'm not alone, though I've definitely felt like Eliyahu the prophet of YAH Most High. I've never felt more isolated and alone since coming to faith, though I'm grateful for YAH has done so many miracles and helped me draw closer to him during these years of isolation. I literally spend almost every day just with myself, my Messiah Yahushua, and my heavenly Father YaHuWaH Elohiym Most High and His Ruach Ha'Qodesh (set apart breath of truth, aka the Comforter). So grateful for all your videos brother. YAH bless you and your family and loved ones. Shalom

Hello Dwayne, I hope you realize how much good you gift to this world and much good you bring our in people. I stumbled upon your video and channel today and can’t wait to hear more from you. Thank you for sharing your gifts!

I really do enjoy hearing this man and his wisdom, just so you know, your messages reach out to and really help a 19 year old Colombian guy 🇨🇴

Good evening, can’t wait to listen to this ❤

If we are all created in the image of the Lord, I could be within the company of One Mighty Angel... And it really helps to pull me through. Hats Off to You, Sir! 🤠🎩

I really appreciate your talks. I'm one of those people who feel lost everyday and it is hard but watching your videos helps listing to you helps. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank u for the msg Dwayne! Im on over the road truck driver and work a whole lot... when not working either at the shooting range or visiting my my kids so i don't really have a group but im trying... with society falling apart we all need to be there for each other.

Greetings from Brazil, Sir. Thank you for the video!

We're all alone in this together. The great suffering that is life.

Dwayne, God bless brother. I appreciate your honesty and straight forwardness. Don't give up we all need to stand up together and lead together.

Your videos are profoundly moving. Thank you.

Thank you, sir. Everyday GOD is with me! Praying often all day is something that I strive for. It's a conscious thought I carry with me. Sometimes I fail, but I keep carrying on

Thankyou.

Blessings to You and Yours throughout this holiday season. You've filled a bit of a void since my Father's passing last year. I hear so much of him through you. Heartfelt thanks.

Thank you Dwayne. Perfect timing for this video. This is something that i needed to hear today. You can't even imagine how much you helping young people with your wisdom!
