U tube channels make me feel less alone

I am 68 years old and an introvert.  I found that following a few people on Utube and


talking with them in live sessions helps.  They call themselves a community.  You get


to know them.  People of all ages have Utube channels. Just a suggestion if it could


help anyone.

YouTube is great. I don't usually chat with anyone though. But good suggestion! I recently followed a very interesting murder trial. Another good place to chat with people about true crime and miscellaneous stuff is Websleuths. I met some great friends on there years ago.

Thank you, I didn't realize people chat on YouTube, but this make sense as people make money on YouTube for their livings. Good for you to find an outlet. I would also suggest bookclubs. Many are online or in person. A good one will be a bunch of people actually discussing a book. Makes one think and listen. I find book clubs to be a socializing for me.

Thank you for the tip!

I am on YouTube pretty much every day. I haven't done any live chatting, but I will look into it.

I like to listen to music/watch music videos, cute animal videos, how-to projects around the house, relationship advice, self help videos, workout videos, relaxation videos.....

They have just everything on there!

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
