And don’t forget your elderly or disabled friends/family who can be quite isolated.

[Mayabee]

I swing back and forth between loneliness and the desire to isolate.

I’ve learned to be okay in my own company. However I realize the only way I can positively effect the world is to go out in it. Recently I joined a gym and I am taking group classes. Losing the close connection to family and community has had a very bad impact on the last few generations of people. So many people in the world, yet so few that we can truly call friends. I feel like social media is a bandage over a deep wound.

I have 2 elderly female neighbors living either side of me who don’t know each other. I’ve invited them both in for coffee and mince pies this week just to stop and connect. When I asked them, the look of gratitude on their faces made me realise I should have done it ages ago. We all need each other! Thanks Russell. So important to reach out ❤️

You can be surrounded by family and friends and still suffer from loneliness . I think a lot of people don't get that, It's not always about being by yourself or on your own.
When you're around family and friends and still feel lonely ? Worst feeling ever

[MishWill]

The festive season is the worst time for lonely people.

[Froggen]

loneliness is not the same as being on your own. Loneliness is being unable to communicate and share things that are important to you, whether that be experiences, memories, thoughts, feelings, humour etc.

Loneliness is my constant companion. I'm learning finally to embrace it and be ok with being alone. People are disappointing.

Loneliness is a hard road to walk, and you can be lonely in a crowded room, in fact even more so because being in crowds or seeing couples together reminds you that your life isnt where you would like it to be. If you too feel a little lonely sometimes then give me a like so i know.

[CookieMcWoo]

Thank you for this. I am very lonely quite often—afraid of the world and all of its judgment and distrustful of most. I appreciate your messages of love and kindness and encouragement. ✨

[pobbrett]

For me the worst feeling of loneliness is when surrounded by friends and family that I know love and care for me but still feeling so isolated

[MichealVakas]

I love how genuine, real, and heart centered this was. Thank you!

[KiranSidhu]

You're a beautiful soul Russell :). Thank you very much for speaking on this matter. Perfect timing indeed.♡

[kristinalowe]

Lonliness can kill you; I believe this is why suicides spike during the Holidays. Thank you for sharing this video as Mr. Brand gets it and has wonderful ideas.

Many people end up in toxic relationships not to be alone. Enjoying your own company differs from being alone, where people may surround you, but there is a void. I am pleased to see how you have blossomed internally. Imagine how the homeless feel at festive times, if only we could all be about true community instead of shallow gratification. We need a connection of the community movement, take care and thanks

Man it has been absolutely amazing to watch Russells videos and see how much he has learned through his journey through the belly of the beast. Absolutely love that he is now sharing this message with us. Hope he keeps doing this for a long time to come.

I agree that my part of feeling Lonely eased when I learnt to be more at peace with my own company by finding things in life that made me happy (mostly in creativity). Having time with same minded people is a recharge for my soul too but not something I need everyday to be happy.

[allenkirkwood]

Horrible thing loneliness...absolutely horrible! Especially after a relationship ends. I don’t think most people understand just how bad it can get..especially at this time of year ☹️

[Soylentology]

How far you've come, my friend. You inspire me to do so much more.
