You Don't Lose People, You 'Return' Them 

The loss of a friend or close relationship can be painful, but you're not alone. Hope this video offer guidance and support to help you heal from heartache.

I always tell people, life is like a bus ride, some people get off at a particular stop, others get on at another stop. Very few people are going to be there with you from the first stop to the last stop.

So true - the more we try to control anything - the more it controls us ... Huge life lesson

I’ve noticed there’s a pattern in narcissists they go from admiring the person , to devaluing the person to discard the person , i seen something about it on the internet and now i see it in my everyday life , it’s so very true that all narcissists think the same and therefore should be returned smh !!!!

I lost someone very dear to me and it was my fault. It took a long time to realize the damage I did to them. I've grown over the years and if you really love someone, you love them no matter how many years are passing by... i don't know if I will ever see them again, but the love we shared shall forever live on in my memories. This person is free to go wherever he wants to, I hope one day we will see each other again ❤

As someone diagnosed with BPD, this video really hit close to home, my friendships and relationships never last that long because I'm so afraid of losing other people that I end up just pushing them apart, I'm still trying to work on having a healthier look on the people surronding me, and this channel has really helped me a lot Thank you

"Thank them for stopping by in your life" If only they'd let me thank them

"Any love they made you to feel is yours to keep because you created that" Broke up from a 7 year relationship a month ago. The first love. The love of my life. My everything. I thought I'll never be able to love someone because all the love I had, I gave it to him. Now there's no love left for another person. But the quote made me realise I might be wrong. The transfer of love from one person to another maybe difficult. But the love is still there.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

I really get affected when people I used to be close with just grow apart and fade away, returning to strangers once again. I've first felt this loss during high school, when after graduation the people I'm close to just have straight up become strangers. This theme has recurred in every stage in my life. What I've learned is that you really should try to build deeper relationships with others and hopefully, some will stick with you for longer of if fortunate, till the end.

I struggle with letting go of people who threaten my wellbeing. I find myself replaying events, reflecting on my decisions, questioning if I should have done them, imagining what would happen if I see them again. I’ve done a lot of research about how to ‘gracefully let go’ as this video puts it and stop overthinking and replaying things, but this video certainly speaks to me more than the other guides I’ve come across. I think I needed this, and that I need to watch it over and let the messages sink in. Thankyou

This showing up right when im "losing" a friend lmao maybe it's the right thing to do

I think my issue is I don't get attached to people any more because I can't form close relationships to them. They just move on and forget me really quickly. I get numb to my feelings for people and it's horrible. I was wishing I had anyone in my life to care about. Then maybe I realised it was better to try and work on the relationships with those closest to me, my immediate family, because I know they'll always be there for me through thick and thin, even if we've been dysfunctional in the past, it all takes work. In the end I didn't have to look far to be loved, I just had to put a bit more effort in closer to home and not take my loved ones for granted. thank you for the video ❤

refusing a hug or kiss from someone you love & them respecting that is just as beautiful if not more than actually having received it

This video maked me cry. A lot of people I used to be attached to has walked out of my life, and almost always, I thank them for the journey, the joy and the experience I had with them. I got really good at it over the years. But there is one person I can't let go. I don't know, why, but I can't let him go, even if I want to

I’m really happy that this video popped up. I just ended a friendship I’ve had for almost nine years a couple of days ago. It hurts but I know that it was the right choice. I still wish her the best

This video came out the day my dad passed away. I've been spending the past week and change with family reminiscing on what he's done not just for us, but for all of the people in his long life. He'd been a stroke victim for 20 years and 18 weeks, so while we always knew our time with him was borrowed, we also never fully processed the loss from all those years ago because he was still there. He was so immensely kind and talented that it's not even a matter of philosophy that the best way to carry on from him leaving is to be inspired to be better people ourselves. Plus, whether you're Christian like most of my family, or a skeptic agnostic like myself that has a hard time seeing past the real, figuring out that him leaving our lives as he came into our lives doesn't mean that he's disappeared, his influence and memory remaining is the kind of comfort he would want for us as he goes back to where he came from.

Me with attachment issues: *NUH UH* 🐟💀

This resonated so well with me. I recently let go of a 6-year long friendship. The reason is simple enough…our values changed and so did we. When opinions began to get in the way of listening, trust was broken. I’ve made a gratitude list to remember our love and friendship (along with pictures) ❤ In the process of letting go with grace and looking forward….

Cried uncontrollably from start to finish..

I would like yo share a story here: I have a friend. We are longdistance online friends. I love them, platniically and romantically. Lately they have pulled away from me more and more. I noticed it long before they ghosted me. I spoke to them about it, but they denied it. I tried to get them to talk to me. They have ghosted me for 6 days now. I was crying a bit before I watched this video. I will try to heal and just... let them go. Maybe they will come back, maybe not. I need to focus on my well being now and cherish the chapter we had. I wish it happened after their birthday, because I already got a few things for them 😂 I know there are people out there who feel the same/similar as I do. Alone, wondering what happened, questioning themselves and their actions and so on. You will be okay ... as will I

I met a girl who i really liked, i found out she liked me back, i dont mean this as a little highschool crush either, this is the only time ive ever felt true love. Sadly, i had to move away and we came to the conclusion a long distance relationship wouldnt work. We're still sorta in contact as friends but it hurts still, even almost 7 months later, ill probably always wonder what could have been.

At least we learned that love has a price to pay. Even if it hurts, thank you for making us know what love is like. When you love, love mindfully. When you break up, break up mindfully. Then we'll never regret it because we did our best. Make sure that you always do everything with grace and then leave gracefully. There will be no feeling of being owed anything to anyone.

All easier said then done. It's not so easy to let go of the past when there is nothing to look forward too in the future

This channel always have to upload when I need it the MOST.. Whenever I’m having an issue with my life this channel is like a mind reader, like an event tracker!!! The videos always come at the right time, keep up the work :))

This is why Life is so mesmerizing because it constantly changes you learn to appreciate life because of it and although letting go of people you value may be the hardest thing it's also the most eye-opening thing that will happen in your life because it shows that life is everywhere the weather,the land, evolution is the biggest clue because although we go through different phases of our lives we always leave a part of ourselves no matter what happens we will always change for better or worse because change mean growth and growth means you're the same person but better because you learned that change is just the world saying "You are going to become someone incredible just hold my hand and follow me"

It seems like every day the scenery is different- mountains, snow, fields- you've seen such a variety. And the towns ate gorgeous- such history

I love this video! I’ve been actively mourning the loss of one of my bff’s/extended family. She didn’t pass on, she divorced her abusive husband & had to move away. I’m a big proponent of Stoicism’s focus on only what you can do to for yourself, but I miss our great closeness. I’ve been battling mental illness for the past 25 years & change is so difficult at times, but I’ve learned to trust the Universe. Thank you for all of your informative vids.

This hits differently when you think about your relationships with immediate family.

This came out in the best time possible. Thank you.

My experience: Try to keep a friendship/relationsship alive _through force_ ends always in suffering

Interesting perspective! It's a refreshing way to think about relationships that have run their course. It’s not losing, it’s returning and making room for new growth. Thanks for sharing!

I'm really curious why the videos lately are too much relatable to my strugglings in life. thanks for existing psych2

كل الذين أحبتتهم غادرو بكامل إرادتهم حاولت أن أحافظ على الصداقة , على الحب , لكنهم غادرو ... لقد تعلمت من هذا و بعد مراحل عدة و وجع نفسي أن لا يجب علي أن أتعلق بالأشخاص كلهم راحلون ... ف أنا أيضا رحلت عني لم أعد أعرفني

This is so simple yet so true. We already know so much, we just have to be open to remembering. #onelove

Thanks psych2go, valuable information👍🏻

The timing of this video is impeccable. Thank you for this video today.

Thank you so much for this video.

Yes, be scared of losing yourself🙏🏻

What a marvellous take on such a difficult topic, outdone yourselves once again Psych2Go!

Thank you for this 🙏🏼💕

I needed this right now.... Thank you 🥹

Always the perfekt timing of your videos

Thank you for this amazing reminder 🙏😭💜

this video comes at the right time for me. A few years ago I became an online friend with a guy from other country, and we've spent every single day since then talking and sharing everything, even planning things for when he will come to my country next year. But I've realised he spends more time time chatting with others now and he even let me know that he's tired of the way he treats me -greeting me every morning or saying goodnight when we're about to sleep or replying to me all the time (things that I never asked him to do but he got me used to). Also, he went through some trouble with his best friend, but even though she deliberately hurted him, he decided to forget it all and he's happy to have her closer to him again. It's really hard for me to stand that I'm not an important friend any more, and the worst part is that he denies the way he's putting this distance between us, he blames me for everything, so he feels he didn't do anything wrong. So, I think I'd better stay out of his life. At this moment I feel so sad that I'm not even interested in meeting him next year when he'll come to my country. I don't feel him as my friend anymore, now he's just an aknowledge.

I’m very thankful for the time we’ve shared together. I do miss you, and I guess that’s something I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life. Although I wish things would’ve turned out differently, in retrospect I can see why things happened the way they did. Like I told you, maybe one day our paths will cross again. I still believe this, but if they don’t well it is what it is. Life will always go on

Thank you at the moment i was struggling with these thoughts and stress but now i should accept the fact that it's time to let them go even if that person used to be my best friend

Man this couldn't have been posted at a better time. My best friends who I've known since 3rd grade are all graduating, but since I fell back a year and didn't want to do summer schooling, now they're gonna be graduating. I knew it was coming, but now that its coming close I'm a bit scared to say goodbye.

This made my day

Exactly, what I was thinking for my past relationships, thank you❤

I needed this.

Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot

You are wherever you're meant to be, and meet people by mere coincidence, cultivating and growing together.

I value everyone I spent time with in my life. What they've taught me lives on in all I do. The time is more precious than the people. We only have so much time. People come and go. How much is the time you spent with them worth to you, is between you and your Gods/self...

Thank you ❤🫂

Never had any friends. Can't lose what you never had.

Please can I have a pin! To everyone who reads this you are amazing and even tho I don’t know you I’m sure your a great person and you deserve the best ❤❤❤ god bless you

😔Perfect timing💔

My sister is like this... losing love ones and break ups.... my sister don't like being alone.. so she try to control but the more she tries to control the more she pushes people away..

Developed feelings in the last few years for a girl that is a long time friend of mine (17 years). Unfortunately when I confessed it was not mutual or she ''wasn't ready'' as she said. I don't want to loose this friendship either, it hurts so bad to pretend I can just turn the page on those feelings for her. 😢

Thanks!

I kind of disagree that having people leave your life (excepting death) is normal. Sure it is normal in today's society, but in pre-historic times if someone left they would have to physically move to a different tribe. This would have happened occasionally, but not even close to the extent that we have it today. I think that a lot is lost by not prioritizing connections with other people. Sure, we have to deal with this in today's society, but I think a lot of people let a connection go without realizing its positive impact, without considering how they can modify it so the connection still exists as much as it can positively.

Deep... very deep psych2Go🙂🙂

Yea, I'll probably never learn this... when someone very important leaves me, I feel like a part of me has died and all memories of that person bring more pain than joy. I can't make sense of something that's over and enjoy the memories. Due to these constant changes, I cannot identify myself, define myself... I no longer know who or what I am. But yea, maybe in another life..

Too many people in my life, I’ve lost… like tears in the rain.

Oh my yes!!!❤❤❤

This is perfect cause I lost my girlfriend six months ago. We broke up. I miss her and still love her. We just had different beliefs and approaches on life and we weren't good for each other. Really wish we could have made it work. :/

Yay first comment I love your videos!

Yup! They were always a gift. During the time of grieving, Islamic tradition says: inna lillayhi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (To God we belong and unto Him is our return )

Philosophy rarely helps deal with the trauma

they always says breakups are hard, I can attest since I was once put in that conundrum, however, I say parting friendships are even harder cause they actually last longer and *sometimes* lead to said relationships, it'd be difficult to look at ending friendships as farewells vs losing them, but that is all indeed relatable

I love videos that have to do with psychology, I always use psychology to my own advantage in life. (To be happy)

I want the original gentle voice of Psych2go, the voices in their videos lately aren't the same anymore

stoicism? nice add ❤

Wag nang balikan ang nakaraan pa tignan ang kasulukuyan at pahalagahan ang kinabukasan.

The timing of this vdo notification is like a knee strike to my ribs.

Please make a video on GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER... PLEASE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Alcohol is the only "friend" that will never leave me...

I’m having this exact problem rm 😅

Once again the timing was oddly right.

Adapting is easy... but change is hard 😟

I feel the same way when I have to say goodbye to my bestfriend. It's hard for me to let go and not see her.

Y’all can say “ you return love” but I don’t think that’s the reality. It wouldn’t hurt so much to lose them if it was “a return”

well if they were toxic, i aint thankin them for nothing.

I do tend to let it go but like a boomerang it comes back right in my head at first its like okay its been a while before came back and all the sudden i got hit in the head- and even tho the memories were great i wish we atleast are friends for at least 5 yrs but ofc my chatty mouth ruins everything and my core values i know this is part of life but i hate it i wish i can delete everyhthing abt that person i dont have now just so that i wont go thru hell for the next monts or weeks of pain and guilt i will feel-

I know this might be a bit off context but recently this girl I was friends with had a crush on me I never had anyone like me shes also one of the only girls i really talk to, we both friend zoned each other becuase i truely didnt liked her and it was complicated. She told me before people would stare at her, older people too becuase she had curves. Her ex's where pretty bad,I kinda wanted to help her and i also wanted someone to love since everyone else i know is getting someone while am still alone in my room and i might of like faked my self in believing i loved her. We are still friends and talk, but it feels different, and i felt really bad for it about days, but she just wants to leave it at that, so that's what I am doing.

I been for long time to see happened Psych2go

It all is very wise but on the other hand it sucks a lot for someone who wants emotional bonds with others for a lifetime. >< Losing things in time and accepting it it NOT so easy and not harmful for some...

It's still sad to part ways..

4:20 you can’t return time,to return means it was checked out rented and used,you cannot replace or reproduce used time.

It would be nice if these lessons were read in both m&f voices. The m voice is much harder to listen to. But thank you.

The truth is you do lose some people. Most people. This is cope and setting you up for future suffering.

I loosed my bff,she is the one that left...

I’m not good with changes to be honest 😥🖐🏻

BUYING PEOPLE IS LEGAL?????????? YESSSSSS!!!!11!!!!11!!111 but on a serious note, this is a good video.

Early again wow

Please bring back narrator Amanda Silvera
