A deeply emotional video shared on social media has gone viral after a young woman opened up about living in complete isolation, with no friends, romantic relationships, or social connections.
In the clip, posted by RapHouse TV, the woman breaks down as she recalls how her grandmother asked whether she had any friends or anyone to spend time with. Her response revealed the full extent of her loneliness.
“I buy myself food and I just sit on a park bench and I draw,” she explained. “If I don’t go to school, I don’t have anybody to talk to. I don’t even know why I pay my phone bill because nobody calls or texts me. The only person I talk to is my therapist.”
The young woman went on to describe how isolating and painful it feels to lack meaningful human connections, noting that advice to “just focus on yourself” often overlooks the deep human need for companionship.
“People need people,” she said. “If you never have anybody and you never have that, it’s depressing.”
She also revealed how long her struggle with loneliness has lasted, recalling moments as a child when she would eat lunch in school bathrooms to avoid bullying. Even in college, she said, she continues to sit alone during lunch while watching her peers surrounded by friends and partners.
“I always feel bad, you know, when I go to school because people get to eat lunch with their boyfriends and with their friend groups and I have to sit at lunch and just cry,” she said tearfully.
The heartbreaking confession has sparked a wave of conversation online about mental health, social isolation, and the stigma that often prevents people from speaking openly about loneliness. Many commenters expressed support for the young woman and shared their own experiences of feeling invisible or disconnected from others.
Experts say her experience highlights a growing public health issue. Studies have shown that chronic loneliness can have severe effects on both mental and physical health, increasing the risks of depression, anxiety, and even cardiovascular problems.
The woman’s video continues to circulate widely, striking a chord with viewers who see themselves in her story — and reminding others of the importance of compassion and connection in an increasingly disconnected world.

“The sad thing is, there’s soooo many people just like her. That have absolutely NO ONE to simply have a conversation with. With all the people in the World, people really die from loneliness. It’s a real thing, and it’s heartbreaking,” one person commented.
Another shared:
“I went through the same thing as a kid ( Minus the bullying part ) and still as an adult. A lot of genuine people are usually alone but I’m glad to have the few family members that love me. I just bought 7 coloring books last week at ShopRite and crayon pencils, markers and wax sticks from Walmart . I wouldn’t mind joining her in silence and just drawing and coloring. Everybody needs somebody and even tho my social battery drains fast and I get tired of talking sometimes, I don’t mind chilling in silence.”
