    When from our better selves we have to long
    Been parted by the hurrying world, and droop
    Sick of it's business,of it's pleasures tired,
    How gracious, how benign, is solitude.
    William Wordsworth.
    I like people and I enjoy my 2 book clubs and family visits, but most of all I love silence, nature and solitude.
    God bless you Ilona.

    I am very much like you ilona. I do a keep fit class and a yoga class every week and really enjoy them. I have a partner but we dont live together but do things at the weekend and give each other space. I joined a crochet group recently but found one woman quite aggresive and crude so stopped going. I am independent and enjoy my own company. With groups it has to be the right fit for me.x

    I know where you are coming from. I am the same way. Don't like crowds. Always worked in my own little space. Liked being on my way our the door with no body else around. Always was in the back of the room when having company meetings. I loved figuring out problems on my own. I am retired and loving it.

I work in an elementary school as an assistant teacher and I never join in with the others and when I leave , I leave very quietly. I love your videos. I’m from Indiana USA. But I feel my soul belongs in England. Thank you for your videos ♥️♥️♥️

    @PAULSMITH-o2k 4 месяца назад +3

    I saw the same video with Melanie and so much of it made sense to me too. Most things in life don't make sense to me, I can't do small talk, most people appear to me to be vacant and without much substance to them and follow the crowd and I always feel quite different in my approach to life to most people I encounter and I'm always drawn more to people who are 'different' because to me they are interesting. Perhaps why I watch your videos.
    I'm often struck at how I can sense someone is a wrong'un quite early on but those around me cannot see that and months/years later arrive at the same conclusion and it frustrates me greatly that they cannot see what I so clearly can until much further down the line.
    I'm amazed at how people so easily toe the line or follow the line and can't think for themselves. So much about life baffles me and others don't seem to think too deeply about it and just get on with life without thinking about the bigger picture and get bogged down in daily gripes and minuita. When you have a deeper perspective in life it's hard to let the little things bother you because you're so aware we have one life and we're only here for a short time. So many people are bothered by materialistic stuff and external factors rather than working on the inside.
    I've also struggled with injustice/unfairness. I can remember as far back as primary school rowing with teachers who were rude to me. I was rude back, got into trouble and couldn't understand why it was ok for them to be rude to me, but not for me to do it back. Nobody could ever explain that and just insisted I apologised to teachers. I would often be honest and not hold back my opinions as I was encouraged to do this by teachers and parents, and this led to me getting into bother with others too. You can't win.
    I struggle with work too and authority, being told what to do, ludicrous decisions being taken that I have to go along with and dealing with office politics.
    Perhaps I'm just not right for the world.

    I have always been a loner from childhood . I am always nervous in groups . I am friendly and caring but I just don't fit in like yourself . I do what I need to do in my life. I prefer to be on my own . I have hobbies but I just don't understand why a lot of people do and say the things that they do. I have come to terms with myself now ,mostly . I am always pleasant and respectful to others. When I have to join a group for some reason I always check for an escape route when, my bafflement gets too much . In some respects I feel we are similar . It is very emotionally draining for me in a group. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. x

    My son could relate to you, he's autistic. Likes his own company, doesn't care about not fitting in. I think he does like people but doesn't understand social etiquette i.e he may not stop to talk if he's on a mission. He doesn't see the point. I'm introverted and just get exhausted around others, but can fake social stuff if i need to. ❤

People with mild autism are often highly intelligent and often very adept at social etiquette. We have followed you for some time and often wondered from your presentation if you have a touch of autism. A diagnosis can be very helpful in understanding who you are as a person. Good luck with it all.

    Ilona , I am so happy you are finding more out about yourself, it's a surprising but fulfilling journey.I took a similar path and came to the realisation that I am Autistic, looking back on my life I can now understand so much more. I decided to go for assessment (which is not necessary really) but I did and after 9 hours over three days I was diagnosed by a team of specialists. So here I am 70 years old and at last able to see my self and my life experience clearer. I feel reassured and content with the knowledge. Please keep looking and you will find some wonderful Autistic advocates online. The community is very welcoming. Best wishes.

      ​@@meanqueensuperscrimper8908I am 50 and about 5 years ago I realised I was autistic. I don't know why it took me so long to figure it out when I have 3 autistic children so I know the signs lol. I will not be seeking a diagnosis either. There is no point. There is no cure for autism but it doesn't need to be cured - we are not broken we are just different. Sometimes it can make life hard, when society had all the lights on too much and the radio on too loud, or they all want to make a fuss and hug us (a lot of us dont like goodbyes or hugs) or when society berates us for being different. But we are used to their displeasure so it's ok. LIke you, having been different all my life I have come to accept that that is just how I am. It's quite affirming to find out that there are other people who feel the same as me. And it turns out most of my friends and family are autistic or adhd or both and that's why we get on, because we are similar. You're right theres so much to learn on the internet and if you join facebook groups like "surprise you're autistic!" a group for us that find out later in life, you will find other people having the same experiences and it helps explain things that we have always wondered about. Anyway I'm glad you're finding out about yourself, it's important.

    Fwiw i like to let other such group members know I've appreciated being in their company/learning from them, so typically stop just as i leave the room, wave, scan the folk (maybe catching some eyes) and say loudly "Thanks everybody". We're saying that to "the universe" at the same time...
    Though sometimes it can be too busy/loud.

  • @LittleFrenchHen
    @LittleFrenchHen 4 месяца назад +3

    Having your own space and thoughts is very important of course, but I think a little awareness of how it can be perceived by others is helpful too. For example, when people reach out to you after you suddenly disappear without letting anyone know, then of course they will be concerned and ask if you are ok. Its just them being kind and caring. :)

    Ilona... I don't think you're different, I think you respect your own right to be an individual, thinking your own thoughts and making your own choices. We are all different but some (maybe a lot), choose to go along with the gang. Before I watched the whole video, the title 'Discovering me' along with the comment that showed at the top of the feed which mentions 'autism' I was thinking you were going to announce this as your discovery. 🤣 Phew!! I'm not into making a hello /goodbye fuss either. I too like people. See... you're not so different 😊 👍

      The way Melanie Sykes talks about herself could well have been me. I don't feel the need to make a dramatic announcement, but autism is something I will be exploring more.

    I feel the same way Ilona I have never asked for help my mother always made me rely on myself and I’ve got to 48 years of age just fine 😊. Yes others opinions are none of my business agreed. I find all that kind of stuff fake to be honest most people do the cheerio’s and screaming then talk about you in your absence. Plus I find people nosey I am very private but people want to be intrusive, humanity has gone astray. The be kind people are all for show it’s actually the be nasty crew be nosey be angry. If people put all that attention into their own lives maybe they would be better off. I don’t think anyone should question anyone’s decisions or how they are and they never used to. I don’t live conventionally but my choices are mine I’m happy with me and my life as I say now “ You do You” 😂😂 people can no longer think for themselves so push their observations onto people that can and do. Yes I agree people should own their own issues not offload them onto others fab video ❤

    Ilona, a friend of mine who went delving into finding herself (her mother had been emotionally abusive and had died), had me take a personality test. The one she gave me was Truity. There are supposedly 16 personality types. I ended up being an INFJ the rarest form of type (only 2.3% of the population is this type), and it explained that it reflected a 'true loner' which kind of explains why I tend to have very few friends and am OK with this. I'm also divorced. It explained a lot to me. I took the test 3 times and ended up being INFJ all 3 times. Look it up. At the very least it will be amusing for you.

I don't want to join anything, I don't want to give myself a label, I don't want to be a member of an exclusive group. What gives me peace of mind is knowing that I am me.

    Seems quite self centred to not simply take the time to say lovely to see you, goodbye 👋 basic common courtesy to others. By not saying bye at your craft group as you have seen, you are actually more likely to cause a scene than if you’d just said quickly on your way out, bye everyone. Not hard and quite frankly rude leaving abruptly like the people you just spent the time with aren’t even worth acknowledging. Things have a beginning, middle and end, bye is the end.

      Those familiar with neuro & personality disorders will comprehend Ilona's "rude" behaviour without explanation. (Elaborate goodbye-ings can be stressful to some folk, and Ilona has explained here she doesn't like them...has an aversion.)
