  • Loneliness is not something that can be healed by meeting/communicating with other people. If that was the solution to loneliness, then I wouldn't be suffering through this hell now. It really pisses me off when someone thinks they understand loneliness when they haven't experienced it themselves. The only people who can truly understand loneliness are the people who have lived through it or experienced it

  • Thank you Dr. Obvious for your sound and well thought out advice for dealing with loneliness. I could not drawn that conclusion myself because the problem is so foggy that you need a shrink with a pHD and a shelf of books behind him while he is saying lonely people need to go out more to make friends. What a genius...NOT!

  • first of all this advice you have just given does not require a ph.d

    second of all, im a very shy person and i suffer keeping up with social interactions. i cant look a person in the eye, and i never got anyone's attention when i spoke out loud because, as i concluded, im a very dull person.

    your video is a fail.

    excuse me for writing about my situation i just felt like i need to express it somehow

  • Yes great advice... Haaahaa please tell me this is a piss take...

  • Having nothing to talk about is my number one problem. With the internet, nothing is new to anybody anymore. The want to see other people is diminishing in everybody, and i'm suffering alot for it. I find also if i relax and talk about mellow things, i'm shortly after given excuse why they can't talk much longer etc...

    Of course, this doesn't stop asking for my charity. Or it doesn't stop people from getting things off me with ease. It's a very hard life, but at least I have the lord.

  • That is great advice .. its amazing that when you feel at rock bottom as I am right now .. you feel worthless and powerless and without friends .. but as you said those things .. I thought yes, I could do that, thank you.

  • @luffyhiei Exactly! Finally someone who thinks the same.

  • This truly isnt bad advice. It just doesnt help with being lonely.

  • Is this a joke?

  • I am a lonely teenager and this advice doesn't sound good at all.

  • lol if this guy can make 100 k a year illlll become a physciatrist

  • who gave this guy a degree. How does this help me...
