A big crisis is looming over our country and no one seems to be talking about it. I'm talking about the loneliness that is slowly engulfing our parents' generation. Contrary to what you might think, depression - often a consequence of loneliness - is more prevalent in our country than western countries. So what good are our family structures? We take pride in taking care of our parents, then why are our parents feeling lonely despite being around people? The issue is more complicated than you think but it's very urgent. And this is what I want to address in this video.

The main reasons of loneliness of parents starts after high school of their children, in INDIA students are also so lonely, because of future tensions and also due to competitive exams and the failure, because of which both parents and students feel lonely.😒😕

Living under same building, same room, and still feeling lonely while your family is together is a big crisis.

How are we supposed help our lonely parents when we ourself face a bunch of mental diseases.

This might be an unpopular opinion - but there is a reason many Indian children want to live away from their parents. My parents always see and treat me as a child. Despite multiple efforts to try and help them change their ways (eating and staying indoors for entertainment) they laugh at my attempts to stay fit in my own life, and are very often racist and do not want to make friends their own age. They only want their children to take care of them, but are authoritarian and will not budge from their positions. I love my parents and recognize they gave me a lot - but that is what a parent is supposed to do. Staying with my parents meant not achieving my full potential and succumbing to their negative habits. I know I am not alone in this situation. I look at other parents who have better relationships with their kids and often crave that.

Yes, when daughters choose to stay single for their family of origin get judged so much.
Nobody considers that looking after your parents is also a choice in itself.

"The biggest reason for our loneliness is the expectations we have from each other 😢

Thank you Mohak for making videos on Topic that are serious but people often neglect it.

My father used to be in electronics servicing business for 40 years. In my entire childhood all I could see was him going early and coming late. He enjoyed his life at his fullest along with mother who works for the government. He eventually retired and went to farming while my mom is about to retire soon. All my life I can remember about them is their expectations from me. They wanted me to do engineering which I obviously denied but they still force me to do other things their way. They can't understand or appreciate my personal perspective towards things which makes me a bad guy in their eyes. It hurts me that I can't make them understand cause they're too stubborn and just call me out on it. I do love them but in the end, if I stay with them in the long term the only thing which I'll see is their happiness and not mine. I know that I'm not alone in this sinking ship so I do appreciate others speaking out to their parents and doing something about it. Cause leaving them would be the most heartbreaking but a necessary process for self development.

I once asked Dad, I wanted to go abroad but he denied because he didn’t wanted me to stay far away from him. Instantly I understood what he meant so I obeyed him and that’s the best decision I have ever done in my life. It’s been 53 days since he passed away. Miss you papa
Here’s my favourite quote that always keep me on track when I’m too caught up with my life..’’We are so busy growing up that we often forget our parents are also growing old’’ Love your parents💜

Such kahu na to hamara culture hi kharab hai na koi sports, na koi club, na book reading, na fitness, na koi music sikhna, , sirf agle pidhi ke bare mein sochna aur unse ummide palna aur parents kabhi jee hi nhi paate pura dhyaan unka baccho pr hota hai kabhi khud pr bhi dhyaan dena chahiye unhe aur jb baccha koi accha job krta hai to wo kahi bahar jata hai ya apne mein vyast rahta hai to parents ke paas apna kuch nhi bachta..
Our culture must reform.. That's it!!

[ameyatikhe]

Well, quite often, the parents are toxic, and the children feel the need to keep them at hand.

[curiouspratik]

yes. this is the reason i moved closed to family. and i have realized about this i am 25 now and if i don't spend time with them now i know i will regret this in my life. two days ago me and my brother took our parents to zoo where they for the first time saw tiger and some other animals i have started doing this and will keep in mind going forward in life

[anoopn]

The very first thing I did just halfway through the video was to book movie tickets for tomorrow for the whole family, realising that my parents might be lonely.

😢Loneliness is not the absence of people, but the absence of purpose. It's the feeling of being disconnected from the world, and from oneself. But even in the darkest moments, remember that loneliness is a universal human experience, and that you are never truly alone.❤

[Learnwing]

1.4 Billion people still suffering from loneliness. it shows how much we lost our family culture. Sad.

This video made me miss my Nana-Nani a lot, they both passed away, Nana in 2011 and Nani in 2015. They were both 97, were farmers and lived in a village.
My Nana was a freedom fighter and was imprisoned by the British in the early 20th century, also worked as a criminal investigator and caught an illegal opium smuggling operation. He had to leave school at age 10 and became a child laborer to support his family. But regrettably I only found out about these things after he passed away and never got to hear from him about these experiences. Moreover, my grandparents only spoke Punjabi, whereas I grew up speaking Hindi and did not understand Punjabi well while they were alive. But despite not being able to understand each other, I always knew they loved me, and were always so happy that it brought them to tears when they saw me, because I grew up in the US and hardly got to see them. That unconditional love is something that gives me strength even when things are difficult in life.

This topic was highly underrated until now. Thanks for a video about this serious issue.
I also went abroad to build my future, and I could have lived a very happy life over there, but I always thought of my old parents getting lonely day by day and also noticed their sad faces during video calls, so I came back permanently telling them that I don't like it here anymore because if I would have told them that I'm coming back for them then they would have never allowed me to do that and act like they are very happy.
Now I see those smiling faces everyday. I have decided that I would chase my ambitions when they won't be alive, but till then I will never ever make them feel sad or lonely.

[harsh_dagar]

Great topic to touch, also a matter of discussion Mohak.
You considered good points but not major ones (mentioned below), and I would love to see if you could create a second part on it too.

1. Living together limits few things, either it's eating habits or daily schedule, that needs to be on a common ground (not reliable in work related scenarios).
2. Single girl child who got married, please consider all possibilities (OfCourse, no issues with ones who got money).
3. Adamant parents, hark to talk and not easy to make a point.
4. Parents who do not socialize at all, how can they start it all of a sudden if they struggle with daily tasks.
5. Finding a common topic with large age gaps is hard, either parent won't hear it, or child would spend the time pretending to understand.
6. Money problems are not solvable anyways. If they have to stay away, they got to stick to it.

[Dhruvanshvlog]

Everybody is not lonely but they are just feeling lonely....❤❤

[vandanachaudhary]

Such an important but ignored issue.... good that you covered this Mohak
