Feeling, The - Loneliness Lyrics






Loneliness, oh, loneliness
What is the point of it?
Loneliness, oh, loneliness

Right now, I'll take a penny for my thoughts
Right now, I'm overcharging you, of course
Right now, but I've a question for you all

Whose idea was it?
What is the point of it?

(Loneliness, oh, loneliness)
I can't carry on this way
Please let me stay, oh babe
(Loneliness, oh, loneliness)
We don't have to be this way
Please let me stay

Right now, it claps a thunder in my brain
Right now, my head is spinning with the pain
Right now, it's so illogical and strange

Can't get over it
What is the point of it?

(Loneliness, oh, loneliness)
I can't carry on this way
Please let me stay, oh babe
(Loneliness, oh, loneliness)
We don't have to be this way
Please let me stay

It started out so well
I even tried to take it slowly
But now you're cold as hell
That old north wind has blown these flames away

Loneliness, oh, loneliness
What is the point of it?

(Loneliness, oh, loneliness)
I can't carry on this way
Please let me stay, oh babe
(Loneliness, oh, loneliness)
We don't have to live this way
Please let me stay, oh babe

Loneliness, oh, loneliness
What is the point of it?
Loneliness, oh, loneliness

It started out so well, yeah, yeah
(Loneliness, oh, loneliness)
(What is the point of it?)
It started out so well, yeah, yeah, oh
(Loneliness, oh, loneliness)
Right now

Feeling, The Loneliness Comments
  1. K.... H....

    Her overly dramatic body language is betraying her attempt to be genuine.

  2. L.... S....

    I want to kill myself 😭 I have no one 😢 I don't have any friends no one what should I do

    L.... S....

    Friends? :)

    L.... S....

    Get professional help.

  3. K.... ....

    I didn’t even bother watching the video, I knew from the title that she was boutta be on somethin

  4. K.... D....

    Everyone complaining in the comments completely missed the point of the talk

    K.... D....

    We get the point, but the delivery was about as genuine as a phoney self serving Miss World contestant delivering a generic speech on world peace. No one dealing with any real sense of loneliness feels helped by this, it appears to have made more people feel worse about their situations.

  5. s.... p....

    i am just tired of how long things have been the same & nothing magical happened like with people in this sort of videos. I am just tired of everything.

    s.... p....

    She never had any real problems to begins with, being a self absorbed attention seeker and being lonely are not the same thing.

  6. E.... K....

    Monday night leggings and rose? I wish I were kidding...

  7. E.... K....

    As many have already said, if we had a bevy of friends to hang out with every Monday, we wouldn’t be watching this. Terribly insensitive and tone deaf speech. Feel more depressed than before I watched it

    E.... K....

    It's completely insulting how conceited this woman appears to be with her "let them eat cake" attitude.

  8. M.... K....

    I can say, Loneliness is like a disabled person.

  9. T.... B....

    If you want to see some loneliness you should see my home in Italy! Oh Italy is a blue zone! isnt that funny?

  10. X.... W....

    What a self - absorbed ______ !!

    X.... W....

    Oh, and it’s “simple” she says Whoooaaaa mind bender!!

  11. O.... G....

    She's just a fuckin narcissist, totally in love with herself.

    O.... G....

    I find her thoroughly distasteful.

  12. R.... B....

    Hammy bragger

  13. a.... m....

    WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT

  14. f.... ....

    Her biceps.. Her deltoids... Somebody give me those.

    f.... ....

    You want her smug sense of self satisfaction to go with it.

  15. W.... Z....

    my anchor of connection is 5 times prayer

    W.... Z....

    Ever joined a prayer group?

  16. s.... ....

    Add To Cart

  17. h.... ....

    how not to break your legs while skiing: don't ski.

  18. H.... H....

    This comment section would be a great group of people to get together with to laugh about this speaker.

  19. b.... b....

    Lol white girl lecturing me about loneliness FOH

    b.... b....

    Would you feel less offended if she wasn't white!?.

  20. W.... ....

    She is so absurdly delusional... That it's even dangerous

    W.... ....

    She loves the attention and makes my skin crawl.

  21. m.... b....

    Shut up, you talk is depressing, you are not helping any1. What do u know about been lonely? Traveling, friends, etc...you dont know what it feels to be lonely 👎🏻

  22. p.... c....

    The real thing nobody is talking about is how many MORE ted talks like this must be on the channel lol

    p.... c....

    To be honest I've found the majority of them to be really good, God knows how or why she ended up there.

  23. A.... E....

    This is white girl lonely.
    Real loneliness is going home to an empty apartment and not being to shake off the depression feeling

    A.... E....

    Ever thought of getting a roommate?

    A.... E....

    Color has nothing to do with it, she's spoiled, self entitled rich girl lonely...there's plenty of poor lonely white people with real problems.

  24. J.... P....

    I think that most of the issues in the comments are trying to not feel loneliness in a crowd. Even when I'm with my friends I feel isolated somehow. Maybe it is a symptom of my depression or maybe because loneliness for me equal not feeling deeply cared for or cared for at all.

    J.... P....

    Ever try joining a church?

    J.... P....

    @Seeker of Truth always have been in one. I have imbalances and even though loneliness is a symptoms of depression my depression is a symptom of a physical illness. Thanks for the suggestion. God created things to love him like us but im sure he feels we abandon him too sometimes and that makes him feel anger and sadness. Sometimes you can feel lonely on a level human to human. Do you ever feel depression?

  25. N.... M....

    what do you do when you don't have people to talk to and you are just drowning in lonliness

    N.... M....

    You seek professional help to learn to better maintain your emotions, if you can't afford that look for support groups, they are out there.

  26. M.... V....

    I'm so lonelly and it make me stuck in the internet like 14 hours per a day. That's bad

  27. N.... J....

    😂😂😂😂😂😂

  28. e.... y....

    I should start a group chat, I think it will be better her advice

    e.... y....

    It certainly couldn't be any worse than this complete travesty.

  29. J.... S....

    The fake up talk accent is so annoying!

  30. G.... X....

    Who gave this girl a platform and microphone to speak about loneliness?

    Actually, her life & stories exemplify the *polar* *opposite* of what loneliness is. Says the girl with multiple friends, get togethers, a partner, jet setting lifestyle, etc

    Even if she ever was - actually, truly & painfully lonely for even 10 minutes, there is *no* genuine sincerity, empathy, authenticity, or merit in the way she speaks to back up this 13 minute waste of time TED talk.

    She's full of rubbish, and not in the least bit funny, cute, compassionate or legit

    G.... X....

    She's an utterly horrid valley girl.

  31. P.... C....

    So the cure for loneliness was friendship all along! The number of dislikes on this video are not enough.

  32. D.... J....

    Emotional storms....lol

  33. A.... Q....

    Allah says in the Quran Remember me and I will remember you. Only God can fill us He loves us more than we can imagine. God is around when we are lonely we should only recognize and feel

  34. e.... ....

    I wouldn't be lonely if I had such a lot of intimates. Because of which, I have the depression now. I have no idea about how to spend my future life. I can't bear loneliness.

  35. G.... Q....

    Loneliness for women is when posting a selfie...only getting 50 Likes

    G.... Q....

    Giggidy.

  36. A.... J....

    This is a bad talk. Not very beneficial

  37. R.... R....

    One of many "cures" for loneliness is getting to know you better, you always have yourself for everything and if you see it this way and accept this, you'll never feel lonely anymore. Just try to love yourself and all is gonna be better!❤

  38. B.... A....

    She does not know what she is talking about.

  39. K.... P....

    I think she doesn't have much knowledge on this topic, she doesn't understand the subject.

    K.... P....

    Women in general don’t. Women can’t feel loneliness like men can

  40. T.... ....

    Another helpful resource is "30 Days to Overcome Loneliness" by Harper Daniels. It's online.

  41. S.... K....

    subject is great... presentation is lousy!! she feels fake

  42. S.... J....

    I want to die so badly.

  43. G.... M....

    I found a simple cure for hunger. It's food.

  44. L.... W....

    I do mm to keep why the comments are so negative...everything she said about connection and ritual is SPOT ON for quality of life. Now it’s our job as people who have no friends such as myself to go and make some be it either through Meetup groups, work, events or reconnecting with our families and find people who VALUE us...

    L.... W....

    You, as a woman, don’t understand. Female “loneliness” is not even in the same league as male, actual, loneliness.

  45. L.... Y....

    She is jumping with loneliness!

  46. N.... M....

    Nothig lasts and once this routine changes you will feel alone again .

  47. A.... C....

    So happy that the comment section could debunk a poor opinion on the topic, this doesn't happen often.
    While the talk delivers a good message, I'm not sure if the title of it was intended by the talker or by Ted, but that title surely transformed the perception of the viewer.

  48. J.... L....

    Loneliness isn't about wishing to be seen. Loneliness from a perspective of a person who has lost his family for example, is being lonely in loss. Trying to be the main center, is not loneliness, that's what we call an egoistic personality disorder. Striving for other peoples acceptance means that you're struggling with who you are created to be. Being needy isn't security, it is being insecure. Walking through it all, you really got to depend on your own survival. You cannot depend on people when life has purposed you for something bigger. A lone wolf in that sentence is someone who was forced through a life they never signed up for, a person who has learned to be strong through other peoples weakness. Thinking of how society is today, these people are especially needed for a time like 2020. A lone wolf has the strength to carry his people through the desert forced upon them

  49. S.... W....

    Lonely people don’t have a group of girlfriends to hang with once a week ~ I wish!
    She has NO idea what it feels like to be isolated, lonely & depressed!

  50. A.... p....

    Lonely people crave connection, this woman craves attention. She appears to have a great life and is simply unsatisfied that she can't have everything she desires. This talk helped no one.

  51. N.... T....

    She does have a point about ritual though. The only times I have had friends is when I was taking my kid to sport twice a week and hanging out with the other mums while the kids trained. But the kids grow up and no longer do sports and then there's no more friends.

  52. J.... L....

    sis i have no friends or family this made everything worse.

  53. k.... ....

    The really terrible thing about loneliness is......nobody cares about you or your loneliness. It sucks. AND....the second someone detects you might be suffering from loneliness, you might as well be a leper. You will be shunned. It's a vicious cycle. The only way out is to act as if you are somebody else. Walk, talk, act like someone who is not you.
    This woman can have whoever she wants whenever she wants. She's not the person to listen to about loneliness. Someone who is unattractive and an introvert who overcame depression and loneliness should be listened to. This woman is feeding her ego.

  54. I.... E....

    Oh you are so lucky you have friends to pile on the couch with to feel lonely together i wish i had a friend to do that with

  55. J.... W....

    What a waste of time! How did she qualify to speak at all? She doesn’t get it, and she’s a self-focused show-off that seems to believe that she’s much cuter and more entertaining than she really is. She certainly loves being on stage. Obnoxious, irritating, and causes me to lose all respect for the quality of TED talks.

  56. I.... R....

    I came for the 328, thank you for this

  57. K.... Y....

    I'm 13 and basically live alone

  58. P.... R....

    0) Loneliness is about being disconected from people.
    1) Connections are about being seen, heard and valued.
    2) Rituals are good for creating contexts where people can try to connect with each other. ("anchors of connection")


    I actually learned a lot here...

  59. S.... B....

    I am loneley af! I wish it was as easy as this

  60. C.... G....

    I came here lonely and left lonely and sad

  61. A.... [....

    Since we’re all lonely....


    Hey what’s up? Wanna talk

  62. D.... W....

    she hasnt got a scooby about loneliness..unreal

  63. R.... S....

    She is well meaning, I love the ritual ideas, something we're already doing and keep it repitative even if your not feeling it. Say 2 nice things about the other, if not happy then at least say 1 thing. This could have magical implications. I just have to pick out who to do this with, on a regular. Thank you for the great suggestions.🙏😍🙌 Your a sweet hearted person & I love your hair.

  64. S.... M....

    She felt lonely while having friends because she wasn’t connected with people on a deeper level. And while admire her presentation I don’t think she did her research well about loneliness. Some people literally have no one to even speak to.

    S.... M....

    That's exactly what I was thinking and most ppl in the comment section

    S.... M....

    Alexa Tasoula People were very harsh towards her. Her level of loneliness may not be as bad as other people so she was being dismissed

  65. J.... M....

    Very bad talk indeed

  66. A.... Z....

    Lonely people should watch ASMR alone for mental freshness.

  67. V.... ....

    her talk sure is simple but im not so sure that its a cure

  68. 1.... B....

    I can’t connect or relate to our narcissistic, arrogant society.

  69. p.... m....

    I actually people like these are the reason there are lonely people out there. Her life is like a stock photo

  70. R.... M....

    This made me feel worse..

    R.... M....

    I felt like I just got slapped in the face by her speech.

  71. A.... B....

    How much loneliness is there in the world i can feel in comment section .the comment section is more amazing than this video becoz i have not seen it yet but eagerly came to comments to read different real touching stories of different people. And happy that i am not only who is lonely 😅. people can come here and share their feelings

  72. D.... B....

    for sure is not the best speech I have heard off, but at least she is trying and contributing to some extent, in helping others and creating spaces for community, instead of doing nothing and complaining.

  73. L.... ....

    I lost 8 friends all in one day. It was on the last day of school in 7th and they were all leaving the school I went to. I will see some of them in high school but it’s been hard this year in 8th grade

  74. E.... L....

    Too many fake people. Hard to find friends.

  75. I.... F....

    The lesson I learned from this very unhappy theatrical performance: when you’re lonely, don’t pretend you’re not!

  76. N.... �....

    im here lonely as well. somebody be my friends ? (:(

  77. S.... 1....

    Just Bla Bla Bla

  78. I.... a....

    Pla Pla Pla Pla..... Voce wasn't helpful at all

  79. I.... D....

    To the person scrolling this comments section in the hope you'll find something positive. You seeking out positivity is the beginning of an infinite journey into the universe that has been waiting for you to enter. You're at the doorway. Take just one more step forward in your acute perceptive qualities and become the happiness you always wanted in life instead of seeing happiness as only an addition to your experience as the living. You are happiness, in the same way that you are love. You don't just experience love but are composed of the stuff. The moment you willingly alter your perception from one to the other is the moment you take power away from loneliness and become the power you always wanted to possess. I love you. You are me, and I am you. We are all connected through our built-in immense power to save ourselves and each other. Connect to this way of thinking and you will never be alone. We are all watching you, and feeling you, and know what you are going through. We love you because you are a part of the one single humanity's body, mind, and soul.

  80. H.... T....

    Have ever feeled this " you can't talk, you don't sound good ,those people next you are to bad(laughing) ,mean world , no one really cares , what's the point to marry make Childrens, what the point to get nice job , what the point of life ,
    What is life
    Why is life
    Why we sht always act as happy
    Why we should be positive with everyone
    Why we should keep their mistake and they don't
    Why we feel what we feel
    Why
    There are so many why
    I haven't found the answer to any of those , when you lost complete faith in god /humanity /youself .
    You can't deal with it...you know what I'm not myself anymore ,
    "I have made promise to the lady whose son this boy is - I'll tske care of his health "
    That's the reason I'm alive,
    I have too keep the promise
    There are day when i don't go out,
    There are weeks i haven't to single alive person,.it
    Sucks,
    You are not in situations to make friends cause you feel they are just using you- that's truth,
    When we cross some border there is no going back -
    " But , i believe humans are capable of anything , that's why I'll never gave up I'll try again and again to be the best version of myself x

  81. c.... ....

    Yeah this is lovely & all, but she has a loving partner, & a close knit group of friends. Not that you can't still feel alone even surrounded by people but I suspect many watching this don't have a close knit group like that. Or any group.

  82. E.... S....

    ummmmmmm, I don't HAVE girlfriends to ritualize anything with. so ummmm thanbks for making me feel worse. No one see's, hears, or values me. Yes thanks, i feel worse.

  83. A.... D....

    7 strangers picked to live in a house! Why are they eight???

  84. a.... b....

    loneliness is when we don't have anyone to talk, share our feeling and to spend time with them on regular basis according to her 'ritual' . If we don't have any one its simple we are lonely . in one line i can say that we have to be social to overcome from loneliness no matter where we are in this planet . For Instance an elderly people try to talk with anyone who comes to nearby in front of them and ask you about your daily life routine as well share their experience and problems with you to overcome from loneliness.

  85. C.... M....

    am i the only one annoyed by her over gesturing?

    C.... M....

    You can just tell her check list for a guy is a mile long.

  86. C.... L....

    After reading reviews I switched off not even listening...

  87. R.... P....

    How in the world did TED allow this person to talk about the worst terrorist attack in France, labelling it " truck driver" and then have French People drink wine a few hours after the carnage. What is wrong with you??? This is unbelievable to even comprehend. The city was in mourning for months. Every single person who lives in Nice either lost AT LEAST ONE family member or a friend! Nice is in mourning every single July 14 and still is. No fireworks are used in Nice on July 14, since this attack to this day! Not only is this speech untrue but the " example of the worst terrorism in the history of France" chosen for people not to be lonely is simply unacceptable and so cold!! I am questioning the knowledge, delivery of the story and most of all the empathy of this person. No empathy or compassion and SHE is making a talk to lonely people?? No wonder ALL the 5509 comments are negative..... Take this talk down for the memory of the people in Nice. And their families!

  88. K.... J....

    I just came here to read comment , this video is meaningless for me

  89. J.... H....

    Go back to people you know? Truly lonely people hav no people to go to.

  90. A.... L....

    Loneliness is when you enter your apartment and hurriedly switch on the TV each time to desperately ward off the smothering silence.

  91. j.... '....

    Is anyone still feeling lonely?

  92. J.... F....

    Sooo soothing!!

  93. F.... B....

    Starvation is going on in the world? Well why don’t PeOpLe JuSt eAt

  94. S.... B....

    Twisted words no inspiration, Total drama

  95. A.... M....

    she’s talking about emotional loneliness... not physical

  96. D.... G....

    The reason I am lonely is because most of my family is gone. It’s hard for me to meet new people. I know coworkers but not true friends. I don’t impose myself on other people
    I wonder what is wrong with me?

    D.... G....

    Don G there is nothing wrong with you.Lots of people are superficial,seems like lonely people are invisible.
