If you identify as an introvert and feel bad for needing alone time, by the end of this video, we hope you'll feel more reassured by these 6 reasons why being alone is good for you.

    I rarely comment but I feel like I need to let this thought out.
    As an introvert in a family of extroverts I was forced to go out a lot. They even ask why I don't have friends at some point in my life and I didn't see a problem in that. It was until in high school that my life become difficult. Surrounded by strangers (new classmates) "group" projects\work, gatherings etc. I was basically throw in a pit called 'life' and me, who knows nothing about social skills or communicating to others(except w\ my family who understands me well) I for once felt lonely as a loner. It got me confused conflicted even, and I had a mental breakdown. if it wasn't for my parents I probably been rotting somewhere. That's when I learned an important lesson. You shouldn't isolate yourself . I used to love the thought of being alone and I also came to hate it but then I came back to loving it but it's different. I now have find true friends who understand my silence a family who didn't give up and did what's best for me and most of all, I came to love myself and gave up the thought of being out going like the others or to be someone else.
    What I'm trying to say is even though we like to be alone let's not forget to connect with each other. Because being with the people that genuinely cares for you and understands you (I'm talking about having friends) is important in our lives. At least for me.
    This is just my point of view based on what I've experience and I meant no harm in posting this comment.
    I was thankful that my parents pushed me out of my comfort zone.

    As an introvert i will say it's hard sometimes to be alone all the times. But solitude is great way to discover your wants and needs and less dependent on others. Being happy when you are with yourself increases your self esteem. Loneliness is a different thing if you feel alone while being with yourself then expand your social network and learn more about others. ❤️

      Well said,
      I used to be a bit self conscious about being alone or having an alone time routine but later stopped thinking too much about it. You can live or have moments of solitude without feeling lonely. You have moments to unwind, destress, reflect, look inward, enjoy moments of peace/quiet, seek God, or just take in and enjoy the moment.
      There was this one time ages ago, when I decided to take myself out to a nice restaurant, normally I would probably just go to the park or library etc, so going to nice restaurant on my own was daunting, but I did not expect to be asked out by a guy later on, so that was a surprise.
      Being alone doesn't automatically equate to being lonely, but on the flip side spending TOO much time alone can be damaging, you have to find the right balance for you, i guess
      This video was really good,☺️ had me laughing , several times too.

    I've been going through the tough ending of a long-term and really meaningful relationship and realised that that person truly became an extension of my being. Removing them from my life was like surgery without anesthesia. I've always been comfortably alone, even when in the relationship I would attend to my hobbies and have mini solo trips. But the realisation of doing these things without coming back to them at the end of the day has been a shock to my system. The whole thing threw me into questioning my own self... When did I become so attached? How an independent person like me has such a hard time letting go? When did I lose my "aloneness is my power" attitude that my 25 year old single self was proclaiming...? I'm going through the tunnel searching for the answers and I truly hope at the end of it I will find peace, joy and myself again.

    Being alone is what I’ve always preferred. Even during my teens and twenties when I had the youthful instinct to seek the company of others to party, I couldn’t deny that being alone in my room came first. Now in my 40’s, being alone is where I am 99% of the time. Relationships have always ended because of this. The excessive time I spend alone together with canceled dates have led to accusations of cheating…perhaps I’m cheating by being alone!?🤷🏻‍♂️ Whenever I do find myself in the company of others I’m carefully and quietly planning an exit.

Alone time is a necessity for me, I need to consider myself first sometimes so I can feel great about putting my amazing husband first other times. Solitude helps us fill up our own glass so we have more to share when we're with others.

    This speaks to me.
    Throughout my childhood to half of my adult life I had two toxic people, my dad and this woman whom was once a friend of my parents who lived with us. My Mom was the one person who always had faith in me and didn't treated me like I was mentally ill because I'm mildly autistic. My dad and this woman however even after my mother passed away treated me the opposite. They always kept telling me that I can't make it on my own, I can't do this or that. Or I'm autistic I wouldn't understand. It drove me crazy and I kept feeling like maybe it was true. However it finally came the time when my dad passed away and followed by this woman few years after that they were both wrong. I have been on my own for about 4 years now and I am finally happy. I got my independence, I am free to just be me and live how I want to live. Now don't get me wrong I got good friends at work, I got lots of good family members that always check on me and we do fin things together. But I love the fact that my dad and this woman were both terribly wrong about me this whole time. I am living happily with just me and my lovable dogs. I just wished my Dad was still alive so he could see how well I am doing on my own. If he was maybe I could finally feel like he was proud of me.
    Have you ever made a video for people liked me to dealing with the unsatisfying feelings that they felt like a disappointment to their loved ones that passed on and wishes to lose that feeling? If so please share the link to it.

    Honestly, I love being alone most of the time. Though I admit being alone too often can easily backfire on your mental health (speaking from my own experiences here), it can usually also offer me some much-needed relief, especially after a long day out. There are few things that make me happier than coming home after a busy day, making myself a cup of tea (or something else) sitting down in my chair, closing my eyes and just bathing in the silence. It's incredibly blissful and it really sends tingles down my spine, even if only for a brief moment X3 .
    Also, I love Amanda's narration in this video. Her voice is so bubbly and energetic, and in a way it feels more authentic! It really made my heart flutter

    My family did terrible things to me throughout my childhood, and i always had issues trusting other people and had difficulty making friends as a result. I spent a vast majority of my childhood alone and eventually i started realizing i had feelings for one of the few close friends i had that i grew up with who was aware of what i had been dealing with. She actually had a lot of common interests with me and she was always wanting to hang out and listen to my troubles, but I decided not to ask her out because I was afraid of pushing her away and ruining our friendship that I valued so much. She ended up asking me out in middle school when we were 14 and we had a very wonderful relationship. She ended up passing away a 4 days before her 25th birthday, which was also 8 days before the day we had planned our wedding. I've been alone again ever since, which has been both a blessing and a curse. I can partially relate to most of the points in this video, but i can also partially relate to the other side of the arguments as well. That's not to say one side is better than the other, as I can personally vouch that both being alone and with other people have their benefits and their downsides. It's just a matter of finding the right ballance based on your own personal experiences.

    I can completely attest to number four being true. This past summer me and my boyfriend would see each other basically everyday and hangout all weekend with our friends. But after a while I could tell we were both getting so used to each other and our meet ups that it was almost becoming a routine. Once school started up again for us both, we both agreed to take time to focus on ourselves, our studies and to only see each other once a week. And although it hurt a bit at first and the withdrawal started kicking in, it really helped me to appreciate his company when are together. Not only that but it made our weekly meet ups even more precious and valuable. So I definitely agree that a bit of distance can help make relationships stronger while also making you a better person since you’ll be focusing on yourself too.

    I think the first time I realized how much I enjoyed being alone was when my mom encouraged me to actually use my car, and I ended up finding a run-down arcade at the mall. I went there all the time and played street fighter! I enjoy being alone. But sometimes it is nice to share my stories with someone!😊

    I was 57 years old when I finally figured out that I was an introvert and did not like to really go out of my home and be OK with it. I need long periods of time to myself and then I can be in good spirits when I do have to go to a family function or fly on vacation.

    Being alone is good because then nobody can treat you like trash, order you around, blow your money, lie to you, cheat on you, steal from you, try to make you something you're not, hurt you in any way, destroy everything that makes you who you are, or control everything in your life. These are actually 10 reasons. As good a number as any.

    Thanks, this made me feel better about myself. I love my solitude. I was feeling bad for not wanting to be with others. I find it challenging being in relationships, nurturing them. It’s a challenge finding a balance.

  • @brindamitra2494
    @brindamitra2494 Год назад +1

    Even though I like spending quality time with close friends (I have a very small circle anyway) I am inherently an introvert and love being in my personal space. Most people around me don't understand why I would enjoy being alone, but they don't realise that loneliness and solitude are two very different things. I have always been solitude-loving. It gives me time to introspect and reset my mind. Whereas drowning in a crowd only makes me exhausted.
    P.S. I've been watching Psych2go for a long time now, but this is the first time I'm commenting. Thank you so much for making these videos. It really helps a lot to understand my own mental health ❤️

    I don't really mind whether or not i'm alone or around others, but obviously sometimes it's too much either end and you either need to socialise or you'll go crazy or get away from everyone or you'll go crazy.

    This is easily one of the best videos I've ever seen out of all the thousands I've watched. Every point hit the nail right on the head 📌
    And the choice of keeping the video silent, but having an enthusiastic yet calming voice made the video feel exciting, calming, and cohesive to what the topic was about. Basically replicating it feels like to be content with being in solitude. Overall just a *great* video.

    As an autistic teenager:
    Most of my time I'm alone at school. I've been feeling that strange "jealousy to extroverts".
    But, then i remember i have to take care of my spoons by not using them socializing.
    I feel better when i just focus on doing my things alone, and I'm kinda happy with that

    When i was a kid, my teacher though me a story of a man who was lost in an island, and then she said that, "the moral of the story is man can never be alone", and after listening to her i was always unconvinced with this ideology because at that time my most of the time was spent alone, but unfortunately it was not by choice, but latter on i found comport in that solitude, i found myself, and now i say, "I love being alone".

    This video is exactly what I've been needing to hear! It's really difficult for me to enjoy myself sometimes when I'm alone, and for me, at least, I realize that the reason for that mainly comes from my thoughts and what I'm deciding to dwell on that's negative or unproductive.... thank you, PSYCH2GO, for sharing this video ❤️

    Had an argument with someone a while ago when I needed to isolate and be alone for a bit of time. They skipped right to it being unhealthy and bad when I found it comforting and helpful when being overwhelmed. Not been talking since as I did prove right when thoughts took over. Needed it. Got denied it and ended up worsening mentally. So much easier to collect those thoughts and finding ways to cope with them when alone.

    I've been alone for 3+ years and counting, and no, it's not as good as the video says anymore.
    For me, it's the worst hell I ever experienced: no one to talk to about my favorite hobbies (I only get close to people with my same interests), no one to hang out with when the day's perfect, and no one to help me with my struggles; absolutely NOBODY.
    I just feel abandoned like a stray puppy in a filthy dogpound, if only a good number of new friends (at least 5 or 6), or better yet, an eternal wife can set me free from my own prison. 🥺

    • @simoneb9574
      @simoneb9574 Год назад +1

      totally agree and I feel you. Being alone feels good only when you chose it, even for the most introvert person in the world. We introverts need time alone to recharge and to do our own stuff. But the few times we want to talk to someone, and share moments, we don't find anyone to do that for me it's a soul crushing feeling

    I was quite lonely at school today, which is unusual as I am normally around friends laughing and giggling. My friends all have different personalities, and one of them prefers solitude over feeling alone in a crowded room. So, I sat in the library and listened to music despite the laughter heard through my headphones in the background.
    I felt a bit weird as I normally am an extrovert (because of my friends), but your video showed me the benefits of being alone time and how it is okay to be by yourself.
    So thank you psych2go for this video! Also, I love the voice over's energy!
    p.s Happy birthday Cindy!

    Yeah, all this - is about being alone for like 20 mins, 1 day max without receiving notifications from your friends. That's what by being alone is implied here. People who praise this kind of stuff don't know what's actually being alone is like. And if they did, they would never wish for that

    I have Asperger Syndrome a form of autism.
    I prefer being alone because I am focusing on myself. I can get the things done that I want to accomplish.
    But at the same time I would like to have more REAL friends. Who I can do fun activities with and people who will be there for me during my hardest, darkest, sadness and happiest times.
    Before I tried to fit in because I hated being lonely, but I was made to feel like I was the problem. So I realised that I was wasting my energy on people who didn’t care.
    Thank you Phych2Go.
