    I feel like a lot of people take this practice too far. This isn’t about becoming so fine with being alone that you dread interacting with other people or creating a meaningful connection. This is about becoming comfortable with yourself, so if you have to be alone you don’t fall apart. Having a true connection with someone is one of the things that makes life great. Find balance in everything.

      People try to rescue you from their own limitless and intrude on our peace and personal space. If you let them in you come to realize they have no value to your life. I am maybe friendless but the values I have are what they seek to validate theirs. I don't people please or expect anything from anyone and quite frankly, I don't miss a one of them! Sweet freedom is what we create for ourselves and their emptiness is theirs to live, not ours. Keep up in mind, they will guilt trip you, feel rejected and eventually slander you and reveal why you removed you from your peace.

      You have to embrase solitude, learn to enjoy the time, when it's all yours. To eat when you're hungry, to sleep when you're tired, to love what you do, and meeting yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Life never promised you, that it will be easy.

    I don't feel alone when I'm around nature because the plants and soil and little animals scurrying about are all alive and with me. I also don't feel alone in my own mind because I can express my thoughts in my writing, and even create characters based on these thoughts and feelings. As a writer, my characters provide a sense of company. However, I feel terribly alone and rejected when I'm with other people. I love my own solitude and I think that's perfectly okay.

    I am 35 now, spent all my life in pleasing ppl, doing what makes them happy n close to me no matter I like it or not, just did it for them. The return is 0. When you do all this ppl start taking you for granted and as a temporary person. They don't value you. It's better to please our ownself, value ourself and make ourselves happy by keeping ourself busy in good n positive things. Even if we fell ill, we should keep in our mind that the whole world is finished I am the only one left so I have to take care of myself by my own. God is with everyone. If luckily we find someone worthy of us then it's good but if we don't then it's not an issue or a loss.
    And sti if we don't find any other way, we should watch videos like this, and in comments we should write everyyyything what's going on with our life, in our heart and mind.

    Nearly 6 years without a hint of romantic love has taught me a lot. At first it feels totally normal, everyone needs some time to themselves after a breakup. The loneliness hit me, but not in an existential way. The middle years were rough, I'd constantly compare my lack of a partner to all my friends and it only made me miserable
    During covid I was fortunate to have lived with my parents during a time where so many people had nobody to spend time with. The past year was where the growth really happened, I can say I now am almost always fine with spending time by myself. The tough part is having that ever present desire for a loving partner but feeling stuck finding one.
    This channel and others have helped me recognize that feeling while not letting it consume me. Meditation is one hell of a drug

    • @JustLIkerapunzel
      @JustLIkerapunzel Год назад

      While channels like this helps me currently a lot and yes MEDITATION to overcome my suffering from my break up, I'd like to encourage you to really become proactive in finding a partner, as you surely have spent enough time on selfdeveloptment on your own. I know it sounds cliché but try to engage in group activities of whatever could be of interest to you. Go walk your dog in new places and if you don't have one, go to a shelter. Many shelters are happy to let people walk those poor animals that wait for a home. That way you already better the day of someone! It's easier to get in touch with people at least in my opinion when walking my dog.
      Or go join a club! Go to meetups, be aware of your surrounding while doing daily tasks outside. Try the online dating thing maybe even but don't obsess over it - it can work and funnily enough most couples I now know met online, but it shouldn't be the main focus.
      I personally don't believe in finding a partner while you're "not even looking".

I have no problem making friends, I have traveled the world and people usually want to hang out with me and get close to me, which always makes me feel uneasy because I know I have no interest in being their friend LOL. Majority of people are boring and redundant, unoriginal and predictable. Everything I love to do I enjoy best while alone as well.. playing music, reading, writing, drawing, meditating, exercising, cooking, etc. There are definitely people who thrive being alone and I happily am one.

      Helena Gutierrez I use to be a bit like you. I always felt the need to be around friends or be out of the house and keep busy around people, when I was at home, alone and with no one around, depression would kick in. So I found a solution, I love being alone now and I enjoy it, of course I keep my friends and see them once or twice a month but to love being alone you have to learn to love yourself, right? And to love yourself you have to work on finding out who you are as a person, right? So when you find yourself alone, work on figuring out who you are, and by that I mean, start a new hobby that you’ve always wanted to try out. I started painting, drawing and learning photography. I find that having a hobby helps you develop as a person. Also, you have the internet at your finger tips, study subjects you’ve always found interesting. I started reading up on Greek mythology, cinematography, stoicism, movies, the Bible, music, music production, and many other subjects. I found that, the more I learn about what I’m interested in, the more I figure myself out as a person and the best time to learn about yourself and other things, it’s when you’re alone. So in short, to be ok with being being alone you have to love yourself, and to love yourself you have to figure out who you are, and to figure out who you are YOU have to take interest on different subjects and see what you like and don’t like. Don’t let others define who you are as a person or don’t let others choose what you like and don’t like. Also, don’t base your happiness off of other people’s presence. If you base your happiness off others, you will always be disappointed. Make the foundation of your happiness YOU, not others. (Sorry for the length of this comment 😬)

    The more people around you, the more expectations, talk about others, lying, frustrations, negativity, jealousy, double standards, violent, sneakyness, own benefits etc.....a reflection of their broken souls.
    I know, not everybody is like that but the most are and they dont know or see it....
    I dont feel better then others but more be carefully and awake....
    Be the light in this dark broken world and happyness starts inside you and not with extern factors like status, money, material things or people.....all relativ and an illusion create by society.

    1. Be your own best host i.e. treat yourself with love and respect. Establish order and happiness in your own environment, from cooking to clean bedroom.
    2. Realise that you are always connected to the world. You are not coming to this world, you emerge from it as its interlinked part, like the wave from ocean.
    3. Sit with it. Being alone is good for introspection. Observe your thoughts and physical sensations. Once direct your attention at the thoughts you'll realise how fast they dissipate, and how insignificant most of them are.
    4. Chase your dreams. Solitude is a great vessel for creating. Present is a source for joy of creation.

    Solitude came to my rescue when I was struggling through the hardest time. And since then, I've embraced it. It changed me, and I don't regret losing my older version, it's just that I enjoy the company of my current version. Many people say I'm weird and anti social, and they think I'm being hard on myself when the fact is, solitude made me realize who I am and what I desire. Looking at the world this way is so calming.
    I have been so much into it that I don't feel the need to share my life with other people.

    Try to find a healthy balance of being social/solitary, as in *try* to interact with people but on the hand keep a good distance and still rely on yourself. Find time to be social and solitary. Being completely isolated/secluded and being absolutely surrounded and dependent on others both leave you feeling bad and alienated, I've been both and those weren't good times in my life.

      Thanks for sharing Varsha. Personally I found it's about letting certain people go, and realising expectations have no base in certainty. Being alone has also taught me self respect and understanding, and that it is difficult to love anything/anyone when you don't love yourself - or if you're not at peace with yourself. People, friends, colleagues, even family can't always give you the understanding you need, or rather they have trouble returning the love you give them.
      Great quote from May Sarton: "Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self". Peace be with you :)

    I want to thank you so much for making this video. My girlfriend of the last 2 years who I was deeply in love with left me suddenly because one of the biggest reasons was that I liked to spend time alone and she always wanted to be around people. I started to feel like a freak or that something was wrong with me after she left me. This video reassures me and gives me back some of my lost confidence. I rarely felt lonely when I was alone and I preferred solitude to the company of people. It's great to finally get some validation. The key, I believe lies in finding a balance between being alone and with others.
    God bless us all.
