Reminds me of a naked and afraid episode with an ex-army guy I saw years ago. He’s had to spend 16 days in the wilderness alone because his partner got sick early in the challenge. Physically he was thriving and had everything he needed to survive. But mentally/spiritually he couldn’t handle being alone with his thoughts, so he quit the challenge. I thought it was the saddest heartbreaking thing that so many people have that experience. That episode inspires me to sit alone in contemplation and meditation more.
You said something once that really resonated with me. Instead of watching a movie, watch your own story. ( something like that ) I love film and always have because it's an escape. It's crazy I can sit down and watch movies all day, but can only sit with myself for 15 or 20 minutes. But I keep trying and know I'll reach my goal. To sit with myself! You are amazing.
I value my self time so much. My job is working w people & being a voice of information. So when I’m home by myself, it’s the most sacred thing & I absolutely love that! I indulge in the silence of me & find my center & calmly relax for the night!
I am so drawn to doing a darkness retreat but I am unbelievably scared of being just by myself without any distractions. I am literally scared of my feelings and if I will be able to handle them.
What happens when I listen to it…I want a do over, another chance, a re do, or to win the lottery. Asap. Not much strength is coming to move forward, or where I should be.
Or perhaps there's a reason why it's so hard. We are social creatures. I have a pet bird who would go crazy and end up very depressed if we didn't spent lots of time with her, and give her physical love and affection. We are the same. I love this guy and agree with so much he says, but I do have some concerns over this trend of self love, being okay alone etc... it ISN'T natural to be alone. For a very rare few then maybe, but for the majority of us this isn't the case. If we feel better alone its probably because we have some social anxiety and issues we need to work on.
We ARE social creatures, but if we are incapable of just sitting in silence with ourselves without constantly going/being with others/being entertained, then there's something wrong. We need balance. We need to be able to go within and if we can't do that, we aren't giving ourselves the space or opportunity to heal--and EVERYONE needs healing. Set aside time each day to just be with yourself, meditate, quiet your mind, and just be/feel. If you do this regularly, profound change will come.

To sit with myself!
You are amazing.
Not just being alone but being silent enough to listen to yourself ❤️ it's hard work but I am learning to love it.
I am absolutely at peace with myself and totally love solitude...done all the shadow work, forgiveness etc.

I think he is more talking about people who cannot get off their phones or always need TV on, things like that.

Some of us are born hermits.
I’m really not social anymore.. prefer to be by myself.. and see all 6 of my sisters once or twice a year
@@mauritaschut8466 wow. Absolutely correct!
I'm coming up to four years of living alone in the country. Nature, wildlife and chickens. I'm in heaven.

I love to be alone, not only some butt naked. Comfortable with my thoughts and me
Why is it scary?
