Sorry if this was already posted somewhere else.

For me I actually like being lonely I am a very shy and introverted person I shall say so. What do you think about being lonely do you prefer like I do or do you prefer to have friends and a social life?

You're not lonely if you enjoy it; being alone and being lonely aren't the same thing. Loneliness is an exclusively negative feeling. You can be alone without being lonely.

I'm shy and introverted as well- spending time alone is how I unwind -but I still like having a social life. I only have one really close friend, but she's very important to me. And even though it's hard for me to socialize, I still want to do it so I feel less lonely. To me, escaping loneliness is worth potential embarrassment and awkwardness.

Now that I think about it, though, not desiring a social life must be pretty great. My life would probably be easier if I didn't care about having friends or a lover.

"stop the behaviour that makes u isolated". and when that behaviour is something like not-smoking (drinking, etc), should we stop it? xd i took only most mild case. and then it says we should get a shrink for it. maybe its just me being a psychopath, but i see victim blaming above all else in this video... it tells us that whatever happened, that made us isolated, is our own fault. that we should change. as if there is no responsibility on surrounding whatsoever. if somebody gets rejected for wrong hair color, they should dye their hair or what? please forgive me, if my perception is flawed. i mean, they did pinpoint some interesting stuff, but their resolutions are sick, imho.
and ya i do feel lonely, and i know its just temporary. just till one of my friends gets online.
the darkness holding me tightly, untill the sun rises up...

"Getting professional help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of courage" is actually a valuable part of this, IMO. If you want to change something in your life and you see you can't, that's a possible way out. But beware, a shrink may get you all wrong. Or may actually help.

I don't know, I can't really relate to the video because I'm not lonely, even though I sit alone at home all day for weeks.

i dont feel lonely when i am physically alone, but on link with friends. i do feel lonely when around strangers. i do feel super lonely when in contact with, for example, my mother. i also dont feel lonely when lost in a book/game. tho that doesnt happen often - cant afford it, timewise.
