I'm a real, lonely dude. Can I chill with yall? This doesn't sound right. 😐
Clickbait video, didnt find me.
Thanks to all of you. I've been at a pretty lonely place in life lately. This video helps put it in perspective a bit. Great work on this one.
Even thought it is super remote there are people in Siberia that people are still just finding out about due to isolation of the region.
I use to be scared of being alone but 4 years ago I got hiv from having a little to much fun with drinking and women. I became a hermit due to bad experiences being judged and it hurt. I only come out my house to go to work where I work alone at nights. Somedays I don't talk but when I do I can't stop but this video has me regretting so much. I wish I had the courage to look past the stigma and get out there again.
Most people just have to look in the mirror to do that
Oof
“I am the bread of life.” “I am the light of the world.” “I am the door.” “I am the good shepherd.” “I am the resurrection and the life.” “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” “I am the vine.” “Before Abraham was born, I AM.” “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” -Jesus Christ John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. John 8:12 I Am the Light of the World Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. John 10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, [26] and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 8:58-59 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” [59] So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. Revelation 22:13-14 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” [14] Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.

Thank you for having me on your channel! Had such a nice time during your visit and meeting you. Best of luck in the future. /Erik
MrBeast
love your videos rik been watching for 2 years the moment he said a guy in his twenties living alone in sweden i thought about you , i was so happy to see you
Do you have a channel?
It is funny how I have watched your channel from almost the beginning but this video was the first time I heard your voice.
Hello there!
These people are not unhappy or disconnected they just want a simple peaceful life and quite, they enjoy hard work and the serenity
Ah the Greek Woman has my heart! What a sweetheart, and the way she called the translator her 'mermaid' is like she took in a new honorary daughter/granddaughter 🩷
Whats the mermaid name ? Am in love with her🥹🌹
She was absolutely adorable- not what you’d think an older person on an island by herself would act like that’s for sure!
@@dhavalrathod1879 Same, something about the mermaid gave me a crush!
There's alot of lonely people out there. I used to be a city bus driver. I said good morning to everyone. One day a lady who was in rough shape stopped when i said hello and said thank you. I said for what? She said for noticing i exist. That moment opened my eyes to the world.
Real
Wow
That's sad man, I feel her though. Thank you too, because our bus drivers are generally angry and silent. You say hello and ask how they are and they just ignore you. It sucks
a little kindess goes along way.
I cried. I do this to ever person I come in contact with
Glad you guys talked about being lonely even around people... the loss of connection, empathy, everything that makes us good. We need it back. You guys are helping.
Yes, loss of connection, nothing is fun anymore.
Humans aren't good by nature lol. They are a species that survives. No other animal thinks about good and bad
i could not have said it better! thank you.
#FreePalestine 🇵🇸
Being alone and being lonely are two different things. 🙏
Aw the nana was the sweetest soul.
The Italian man touched my soul. I just wanted to cry happy tears the moment I saw him. What a human being!
Me too. I have been thinking about him since. I wonder how he copes if every day he wakes up, he cannot talk to anyone. Just his sheep. At least the woman has a son, and the guy in the woods has a girlfriend..
but the video of him shown here was very very short. :-( I wish they showed more time with him in the video.
The Italian guy is exactly what I imagine ancient inventors looked like. His knowledge on the world is so interesting, especially since he relies on old methods. I wonder how many others like him there are in the corners of the world.
Would love to meet more people like him if there are, such a unique character 🙏
that particular italian is an orthodox christian and he lives like a orthodox monk as you can see the orthodox saints picture at 26:11 on the right. We all need to have The truth in life which is in the Orthodox christianity religion only btw. The orthodox version of Christianity is the original and true form of christianity that Jesus taught us when he came to earth, and you can feel God’s grace through the holy sacraments in this church after baptism , repentance-confession and holy communion in the orthodox christian church through the grace of the apostles that was transferred from generation to generation to what we have today as the orthodox christian priests, something that completely changes your life and turns you into a happier person with a meaningful life and also saves you by strengthening your bond with God. You can also watch the miracle of the holy fire that does not burn that happens every year, I suggest you get baptised at an ORTHODOX christian church near you, receive the holy spirit and live a spiritual life through the church’s sacraments like confession to the priest and holy communion and God will protect you, in this life, and the next, the eternal one, 😊may God Bless you!
@@jtames9040 what if i dont believe in God? Will I still be able to get baptised in an Orthodox church?

Dude that old guy is the second coming of DaVinci for real im so impressed by these people i love this thank u
I also thought about Da Vinci when i saw the italien man and his inventions!
Definition of lonliness can't be comprehend from outside. People become lonely even in crowded areas. If some one is healthy he can never be lonely, there's always something to learn.
Bom dia 😊 Penso exatamente como você 😊❤❤❤❤ Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil.
I’m surprised no one is talking about the Italian guy! He is literally self sustainable, but on top of that- it seems he has his own crazy inventions. Like a crazy inventor 😳 he even looks like he’s from the past… exactly like Da Vinci FR
he has such a powerful personality and presence as well
Radagast the brown from the hobbit
@@bdoubleu6absolutely
He is like a character from a fantasy book! Like an old wizard
This man is not some quirky genius; everything he did was a coping mechanism for getting expelled from his home when he was 23. Italy is a very family oriented country, so this must have been a dramatic event. The sad part is he never got closure. He claims he doesn't know the reason, but it's possible he actively suppressed the memory, or wants to hide the truth because it's too painful. He needed mental help decades ago, but never got it. This is the end result.
Wow.. The first guy.. To leave home at 23 with some sheep and never look back. When he showed his ID I had so many emotions.. to be so young and handsome and miss all of the prime years of your life for what was likely at first a grudge with his parents, but to become so at peace with it later on. We need more videos highlighting these interesting people.
miss? he didn't miss out on shit.
You could say that for him, but you can tell he still hasn't completely resolved it. As you get older you think of the past more and the what if's, and being alone.. that's alot of thinking.@@alizain5420
what we have to understand is that there's a difference between being alone and being lonely,
"Have friends and they still dont feel like they can be themselves" agree on this one
Ironically the most loneliness I’ve ever felt, wasn’t when I’m alone, it was being around people that claimed to have love for me. Being alone doesn’t bother me if it means a peaceful life.
Exactly. Solitude often helps us reconnect to ourselves too.
Claim to have love for you, then when you take a few months to yourself, just to do your own thing... Those friends you've known and trusted with so many things make you no longer feel welcome into their life. Well, that's how it went for me a lot the time at least. I'm not lonely, online I keep some form of contact with the outside world mainly just to fend off boredom, but in real life I am alone. If I ever have a really bad day I can just say I was having technical difficulties. ;)
Same here, I have felt more alone surrounded by people than truly alone
Get out there then
True
There's a difference between being alone and being lonely, this man has found nature and so he's not lonely he's surrounded by his forest friends. The problem we have today is that most people are so confused that they don't see the world around them, it's very sad.
yes yes yes.....loneliness, not of choice, can be devastating. choosing to be alone is very different.... you are young and making videos. if you really want to make a difference in this world reach out to those who are painfully lonely and do it off video. no likes or hits. touch a lonely soul.....try turning your camera off and tuning into real affective change for real lonely souls. just a thought and sent in love.
Yes agree! You can be most lonely within a marriage. Choosing to live alone is completely different and can be very healthy also.
Yes.....some of us can embrace this.....I did just a few days of semi solitary vision quest....the lesson for me personally was just being comfortable inside my skin....I am a spirit inside this container......for a short time.....these folks are my heros...and Yes great Inspiration
It's hard to see the world that understands your eyes
True, the people in this video also have animal companions. I've lived on a farm with way less social interaction as I was used to, for about half a year and the sheep and chickens I raised always gave me a warm feeling of home and family when I felt lonely.
I absolutely loved how thankful the Island granny was to receive surprise guests.. Can you imagine the lowkey joy one must feel to unexpectedly all of a sudden come to realize you really aren’t all on your own afterall because there are people out there that still think of you and care enough to travel extensively to bring you gifts and hang out… This was really cool; inspired me to rethink loneliness as a whole
You lost us when you said low-key 😂😂 I kean come on 😮😂
No. I want people to leave me alone. I leave them alone.
I have lived by myself,for twenty years and love it,and don't like people. And have never felt alone.
These documentaries are so much more well made than big production ones
They are really good. ...much more humane and down to earth than a big budget one created by decision makers.
gotta thank Cory. All of yes theory’s best shots are done by him.
That's because a lot of big production studios don't truly understand what something like this feels like. They might say they've experienced loneliness, but there are multiple different types of loneliness, some are far harder to deal with than others. It's like anything in life though... Personally I think being lonely (in moderation) is often good, it lets us reflect on who we are.
Better then Discovery channel
As a greek person, seeing Kiria Rinio being so full of joy and life and her cracking jokes made me so happy, the way she spoke was so cute!! And the way she spoke about being happy just by knowing her family and children are doing well was so beautiful I wish we could all learn from her 🥰
πραγματικά
Χαίρομαι πολύ που είχαν αυτήν την ευκαιρία να την γνωρίσουν και να μας την παρουσιάσουν και σε εμάς
One small correction - It's Miss Rinio in English, "Kiria" doesn't mean anything and it might be confused as being part of her name :)
mans livin the life
"Not connected to the outside world" I would argue the're more connected than most
This video made me cry like a baby. I’ve been many times to Kinaros and met Rinio because I live in an island nearby (Kalymnos). A year now I’m away from home living and working in another country far away and I am truly experiencing discomfort. Loneliness is hard and the truth is,wherever you go there’s nowhere like home. But those people are amazing and I admire them for their courage. I hope you liked my country guys! Keep up the amazing work ♥️🇬🇷
Same
although Flaminio may seem sad, as an Italian I can assure you that his tone was very joking and he was very happy to have you there
Such a good hearted channel. I always take something to heart after watching your videos. Great work
Thank you for the inspiration! It is truly a joy to see people enjoy their life living in sync with the nature. Bless up from Sweden
These guys are not lonely, they are alone, and loving it.
Except the youtuber, he doesn't live there, he has a phone, internet, a gf, family. His piece of farm is surrounded by buildings...
@@Teleinyer Yes. Let's argue viewpoints on wholesome youtube videos then wonder why others prefer to be alone. 🤷♂️🤣
I'm really gonna miss Matt, his energy and aura got me into the channel and I've been around since. We appreciate you endlessly Matt, you've brought us all so much joy, looking forward to reading the book and enjoying your last few videos with the guys!
This could've been a really dark subject to make a video about but the way you've told their life story is so positive and inspirational. Thank you ❤
what do you mean??
I’ve been a subscriber of Erik’s for a couple years now. He’s a very talented and energetic, driven young man. Inspiring.
They are not the loneliest people, they are the one who won the loneliness with solitude . Look at them how warm and happy they look
Definately these guys do not understand the difference
As a person that lives totally alone on a mountain myself, i can confirm, being alone and feeling lonely are two completely different things that have nothing to do with each other. Absolutely love this video! A rare peek into 3 genuinely happy people's lives! Love what you guys are doing, never stop!
Do you have animals?

Thank you for publishing this video, very enlightening! I had seen Erik's videos before, but very interesting to learn about Flamino and Mrs Rinio.
I am an Over-the-Road truck driver in the United States. Even though on the road I am around people all day, every day, I feel isolated and live life completely alone. I don't have a social life and don't share my many crazy experiences with anyone else. I am seeking discomfort every day and let me tell you, I love it. I am at peace and every day is a new adventure.

I'm fascinated by people who live completely alone, and a little envious of them. People stress me out and I've always felt I could manage well on my own. There is a hermit in Scotland named Ken Smith who lives at Loch Trieg, and there was a documentary made about him a few years back.
I know exactly how feel.
I'm a little envious also, to say the least
Yeah, Alone doesn't always mean lonely
#FreePalestine🇵🇸
if people stress you out... you can either face your fears or run away from them, I'd suggest the former over the latter... apropos, there is really no reason why people, those pathetic ignorant little beings, should stress you out at all... and once you understand that you'll have no need to run away from them \o/
simplicity and contentment is where you can really find happiness...thank you for this inspirational video...God bless you..❤
Beautifully edited. The different lives of three wonderful people shows us many things we may not have thought of before. Thank you, YES THEORY for opening our eyes to knowledge and our hearts to love. My gratitude grows greater every day. I love you.
I love the Italian man....he inspires me. He is truly an amazing soul. I have so much to learn from him, in my own solitude. Thank you for sharing this story. Let's say YES to the unconventional.
He reminds me of the old man in The count of monte cristo. A scholar and very smart person.
The life we experience on a daily basis is so far removed from its natural state. And we continue our lives disconnected. Slaves to money. But life at its purest form only requires hard work and taking care of the land and in turn the land will produce everything we need. There is so much beauty and wealth in solitude.
He lives without electricity and probably without running water (for sure without a shower). There is an Italian yt channel (the pillow) that publishes videos of people who have decided to live away from society and its comforts but they are not translated
Beautiful video guys

God loves you. If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It's the greatest free gift you could ever possibly receive 🙏

Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18-21, 23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

The production quality of this channel is top tier !!
This was soo good! Really warmed my heart. Thank you. New Sub!! ❤
What a beautiful video. The old man was so amazing. He was still learning about the world around him, while being isolated. All three individuals were happy. Nature is a great healer.
The two elders were very sweet, but the old man had so much goodness in his eyes. He was like the giving tree..
They might be the world's most "alone" but they are definitely not the loneliest! Thank you for sharing these beautiful stories, Yes Theory
Precisely. Isolation doesn’t necessarily mean loneliness.
This is good wholesome content loved every moment of it great job!
We'll miss you Matt, but if this is what you wanna do then we all stand behind you. Congrats on the book
As Greek myself, I truly feel touched by Kiria Rinio‘s simple way of life. 🇬🇷 It reminds me of the days in my Greek village in Greece where life passed on in serenity and piece,listening to the rooster’s crowing every morning, in touch with nature. No TV is needed, just sitting on those lovely white plastic chairs and admiring the beautiful view of the sea and the island. 🌿
I find it fascinating that although these individuals live alone without humans, they all still have a dog in their lives. Dogs truly are a human's best friend :)

Thank you for sharing this! I love it!
Wonderful, thought-provoking content! Keep them coming!
I noticed that all three people have found companionship with domesticated animals, so they aren't lonely in the absolute sense. And even in terms of regular human interaction, the Italian man does have that one villager friend who visits him, the woman in Greece has her son who visits occasionally for several weeks and the young man in Sweden has a girlfriend (and spends time online). Also the Greek woman and Swedish man are able to get haircuts (unless they've mastered the ability to trim their own hair). It seems the key here is to maintain a good, healthy balance between the social and the solitude. I'm sure there are much, much more lonely, isolated people out there than these three, it's just that no one even knows or cares about them.
Yeah, I live in Turkey and I've seen far more lonelier people, totaly away from society with no friends or relatives to visit them. They are talked about as town legends almost as it's been decades since the last time anyone has seen them. These people are not that lonely, only the greek lady living on an island but even she has a son who visits her regularly.
I seen a video of a man living in the Siberian forest. He indeed was living a lonely existence. Not sure what channel but it was here on the tube
I don't know but the way Mrs Rinio was so loving and warm to strangers, her voice and her laugh made me cry. I could feel how lovely she is from behind my screen. I wish her all the happiness in the world.
Wow you guys did such an amazing job bring out contents as pure as this episode. God bless you guys... The characters are you featured are so so adorable and inspiring.. Wow!!!
im so glad these wonderful people are getting the spotlight
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Even when you tackle difficult subjects, the way you do that, the way you interact with people, and the way you film everything, always seems to warm and calm my soul and worried mind a bit. It takes empathy, intelligence and heart to do that. I get excited every time a new video pops up and I know some healing is just around the corner.

The scientists in Antarctica - they're so isolated they developed their own accent. While not singularly alone, I imagine it's still a hell of a lonely place and a great excuse for you to go there
I think doing a video with Erik Weihenmayer could be amazing. Even maybe challenging yourselves to become blind with him and fully experience his lifestyle. I think he's here in Golden Colorado. I live in Boulder and I can't imagine what It's like to not be able to see the gorgeous scenery which I am fortunate to wake up to every day.

I'm dreading the day Yes Theory as a whole moves on or becomes something else. The adventures and the insights you all provide for free is really life changing. I wouldn't have had the courage to uproot my life if it weren't for the inspiration that Yes Theory and many many many others give us. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Being alone and being lonely are much different. Being alone is a choice, in which you may choose to invite others into your life on your terms….being lonely or feeling lonely is where you may feel you need to have people in your life but may have difficulty doing so. Either way always do what is best for you and only invite people into you life that will support, love and create a safe space for you to express your feelings, emotions and aspirations ❤
Even though they have been living alone for so many years, the moment you guys left, they must have felt sad for a brief time ..
Honestly one of the best YT episodes I’ve watched! Pretty cool to see all these people and get to know their stories
Great video. I enjoyed it beginning to end. I easily relate to those folk in this video. I was a shepherd for thirty years, goats and a couple of horses (to ride) and of course my dogs. I left the modern world when I was nineteen, escaping to northern wilderness. For years I lived in teepees, abandoned cabins, adventuring and hunting on my own for decades. I'm still living in the same little cabin (where I've lived for the past 32 years) in this small, rather remote mountain village. No goats, dogs or horses now, they were my best friends, but I still grow a large garden growing a lot of my own food, still living off the land to some degree, collecting herbs, firewood and such, although I gave up hunting big game over ten years ago now since becoming mostly vegetarian with a lot of teeth missing. Yes, not quite a toothless old hermit but close. Life gets lonely at times. I seldom see other people. Being alone though is a lesson in learning about who we are and what we can do for ourselves. I guess I've done okay since I'm still here, never retreating to town or city, and I'm glad of that. Of course, in this day and age, even here (like the Himalayas and remote Arctic) this village has an internet connection and of course computers are a part of most people's lives, including my own now. I've never regretted living this lifestyle, trying to be self sufficient, living off the land, doing everything for myself in order to survive day to day, year to year. I'm not the only person that has done this, as this video attests. I personally know more than a handful of people, older and younger, living mostly alone in these rugged wild mountains, fending for themselves as best they can, decade after decade. One thing I've learned living this lifestyle is that nothing can be taken for granted as things change, even in the blink of an eye. Truth for all of us really. Thanks for your entertaining and enjoyable video. Cheers!
And I bet you could tell me the time down to the minute too. I once could do that before I began to wear watches & now carrying a phone. Forget it!
absolutely amazing to watch!
This is a fantastic documentary. Thanks so much. The Swedish guys English was amazing, with such a great accent too!
Guys you need to get an award for the cinematic masterpiece this is. Beautiful scenes and editing, especially the intro. Every video better than the last. Not disappointed you took your time with this.
It's a bitter sweet moment seeing Matt again. I've missed him. Wish him the best
I already subscribe my channel has been following yours for a very long time. Thank you for what you do I appreciate your work
I truly enjoyed this above so many other stories I have been privileged to view; thank you for your display of kindness your humility, and sincere care of people. Moses.
Eriks channel is absolutely incredible. Ive watched every single one.
Yes! I watched his "documentary" about his log cabin, absolutely amazing work. Not only the housebuidling skills, but also the filmmaking skills. This man is very talented
I think the struggle to find genuine connection is what makes an individual feel lonely amidst being surrounded with many people. I love being in solitude because in my experience, it equates to learning, creativity, and productivity. I learned skills like woodworking, electricals, plumbing, etc. I learned how to draw, paint, play instruments, sing, etc. I've created my garden, grown plants, raised animals, etc. In all honesty, I wouldn't have learned all of this (still learning all kinds of stuff) if I hung out with my friends all the time. Being Alone is not for everyone but I can tell you it's a powerful yet mysteriously peaceful state to be in.
Your content, resources and travel are perfect it's just put in a documentary way so it can seen as a someone's story and not your travel vlog. Also less background music. Good work guys
Amazing people. I hope that they all continue to live their lives with intent and happiness every single day! ❤️
Would be lovely to see Matt's farewell series. His presence in the videos always has made me smile.
I'm a loner. The only time I started to feel lonely was when I kept getting asked by my family if I'm lonely and given the concept put in my head. Then I realized it was only that. A concept
Not really, we are social animals. We are meant to live with others. We can do fine nearly everywhere since we are extremely adaptable but most natural environment for us is being with others.
Fr!! Seek advice but be careful how much you value the thoughts of others, don't let people put things into your head, or at least don't give them a heavy weight for you; sometimes it can result in you overthinking it and self-destructing.
I really love your channel. This was an amazing episode.
Your videos are incredible 😊 I’m happy I found your page !!!
These 3 individuals are amazing and inspiring! That girl who was helping you translate with the older gentleman is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. 😍
None are, the man is crazy, the youtuber don't even live there, the woman does nothing productive.

@@Teleinyer 🤣🤣🤣 oh man, you must be a sad individual. maybe you should try being in solitude for some time
@@LucyKitten I'm so sorry I'm not a fanboy.
