The Benefits of Social Isolation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- When we have no choice than to be isolated (because of the coronavirus for example) we might benefit from looking at the positive side of this. Of course, this is in no way intended to downplay the severity of current events regarding COVID-19. Rather, it's an attempt to give the isolation that many people face right now a bit of a positive spin (for what it's worth).

“All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” -Blaise Pascal
DerHomunkulus I’m afraid there are ghosts
Never has this been more true! ❤x
Seen the same quote in every introvert/ lonely video
👏🏼
That itself a problem.
This isolation is a needed pause in our fast-paced overstimulated life.
Febuan Nehro Pava yesss 🎯
Couldn’t agree more 👌🏼
My life before the lockdown is already a pause
This is the governments fault. It's all been done for a reason.
Busy ppl were overstimulated with the wrong things that's why isolation became a choice for some.
I’m addicted to being far away from humans and their drama
Humans need contact with other humans without the drama.
GhostDogg-Of course not a reality for the mentally depraved.
Omg me too. Codependent here haha. I can actually take better care of myself without social contact. Considering accepting my reality and really living the isolated life.
@@trulyblessed5254 i'd say no to that because i can do what ever i want when ever i want and i can be my true self when alone plus no one is telling me what to do my point is im happy alone ( :
@@trulyblessed5254
My life has gotten SO MUCH BETTER after cutting out all the drama queens from my circle of others. Now I get all my socialization from strangers and checkers at the market and commenters in these sections on RUclips. I'm satisfied and CONTENT.
I've been isolating for a year now.
As soon as I removed people from my life, I finally started getting things done.
Most people are just clutter to your goals.
I never fit in and got bored of trying and failing.
I can agree. But I love my own space and time so thrive alone. From a child I liked my own time and never get bored.
Wow, good for you!
Same here! 🙂
friends fry ur ends
@Christina Reynolds Life is not always about having sex.
Isolation is a gift,if you now how to open it.
Well said!
And till today i wasn't able to open it, hopefully I'll figure out how to in the remaining days
Isolation is how you become to know thy self 🙏🏼
To extend the sentence:
Isolation is a gift with a puzzle lock. If you know how to open the lock, you will get the necessities you need and be fine, but if you can't figure out the lock, you will have to deal with having this locked gift with you and the knowledge that the only thing between you and getting what you need is a stupid puzzle lock.
...you " now " how to use it?
I not only tease others, I tease myself as well....
7 benefits of self isolation:
1) opportunity for reflection
2) a chance for grounding
3) life planning
4) creativity in socializing
5) shedding a light on the darkness
6) increased creativity
7) a chance to detach
A magnification of what really is of value to us. Like a magnifying glass.
Josh Ramsay thank you
Reflection can become a spiral down that you can't get out of. You're problem solving by yourself, or distracting from your problems, usually through escapism or substance abuse. If you fail at each new potwntial solution, you get used to everything you can think of failing.
That's when isolation becomes a purgatory you can't escape. You wish for night all day so you can sleep through the next 10 years and wake up to see if things are better. And if they aren't, then maybe you just want to sleep through the next 40 years.
@@llIlIlllII like being trapped in a inception dream/nightmare for many many years.
If u stay in a dreamworld too long,u might become lost in it and never come out.
How many people here have truly experienced true prolonged social isolation?lots of people say they enjoy a moments solitude away from friends and family for a couple hours maybe a day or two or a week at most.....but solitude is not the same as true or prolonged social isolation.....
How many people here have gone by a month or two without speaking to anyone other than cursory words with a cashier buying something.....or an entire year having less conversations than the fingers on one hand?
Or near complete social isolation since their teenage or childhood years,and are now in their adulthood,5,6,7,8 even a decade,speaking so little they barely know who they are anymore.....praying day after day for salvation but it never comes....if we pray and pray for salvation,is it god's fault we remain unloved?
But at this point we are beyond prayers.
Every where u go u see people living perfect happy lives,while urs is a non starter in comparison.even if u like to think the world is in a conspiracy against you,it doesn't even seem believable anymore.u like to think u are that tree in the middle of the forest that falls but no one else is around to hear it but truth is reality is colder than that.....the world doesn't even know that it doesn't even care.
At the end of the day u are left with not even ur past,just empty shattered pieces of meaningless fantasies that have grown stale and yellow,that can't even sustain ur reality anymore.
Man is not build for isolation.
Jordan Peterson is right,isolation only leads to insanity then death.there is no blade runner 1982,there is no welcome to nhk,there is no altered carbon,no the double,there is no consolation.
Only death.
I love being alone. I wish there was a society where loners could get together and discuss their thoughts and ideas.
You don't need a society to be alone that would be your own personal choice.
I would join..
You have that, it's called the internet
@@Crazy09starkillor haha
Yes! A kingdom of philosophers!
You can go two ways, self isolation = 😔 or self isolation = 🧐💡🤪🤓🙂
Most DETEST "isolation" in any form, as it forces them to confront themselves... And they will do ANYTHING to avoid that "scary" prospect... Unless you're an introvert like myself... Then "isolation" is my NORMAL. I look soooo forward to being home, BY MYSELF, behind my locked doors, completely CUT OFF from everyone. I have TVs but they are rarely if ever on. Being online, here, what comments I leave are most days the only talking to anyone, that I do. Reading, projects around my house, gardening, my animals... I am content to stay emersed in my "current focus," void of interference or interruption from/by anyone. Days into weeks pass & a neighbor will stop just to make sure I'm ok... And I LIKE IT THIS WAY...💜
I feel like I’m reading my own thoughts. :)
Yes
Agreed, the Outside World is so Scary..
@@annekirstenfuentes9459 if you think the outside world is scary wait until we pass on to the next world. 🙏😄. You will have to be one with the universe one way or another. Find your peace now.🙏

this is the only time in your life when you will have months with nothing going on, and your missing out on nothing. if you’re in highschool or college and have months off, you will not have another break like this until you are retired. take this time to think about your life and plan it. to realize your priorities and where your mind should be. this is a crucially necessary time to finally have no excuses towards doing something you have always wanted to do. there are no more excuses not to start. the gods have literally given you a plague so that you can have this chance to pursue things that you want to pursue. stepping away is necessary to realizing who we are. we can live and be uninfluenced by others. realize that this time could be the greatest time for self improvement that ever could happen to you. it could be the time you realize that after the break you hate going back to your job so much you just decide not to come back. spending this time sleeping or playing games is a waste of the greatest potential of your life. it will never come again. not for decades. this is once in a blue moon. if you cannot sit with yourself and on your own who are you? are you even an individual if you can only survive with others in your life. what we do in the next 6 months (assuming 3 months off of school or work and 3 months of summer) will no doubt define us. we need to ask ourselves now if this is the self we want to be for the rest of our lives because this is the test. if we don’t like ourselves now, in the free times of life, we won’t like it later, especially when things get busy. to know who someone is you can simply ask what they did during this time and that will say it all. “step out of the river and realize there is another stream.”
damn that's what l needed to read. l've been reading a book that l had put off for a while and also learning to code, but l still want to pick up drawing, since l've hated it since l was a child. Your words are on point, mate.
i screenshotted this and i promise i’ll read it everytime when i find myself wasting time. thanks man
I advise every body to listen to the six hours audio book of dr. Sugru
Good piece of advice, thanks.
Such inspiring message, thank you. I also think this is the best time to figure things out and to examine and reexamine our lives. As for "it could be the time you realize that after the break you hate going back to your job so much you just decide not to come back", you are soooo right because I might not go back.
I'm reading a translation of Tao Te Ching from Lao-Tzu often. Honestly, the fact of not thriving on human affairs so much and relying on simple things like walking around Nature is such a blessing. When you know you don't need to put pressure on yourself and just live in simplicity and harmony with the flow, nothing can stop you of enjoying the journey on Earth.
yea man,that why i started meditation for.. I guess ther's no other better way for that but i just wanted to ask : "does it need some time (and it does I guess) learning "how not to give a fuck? "
Michel
So well put. Thank you for sharing. 👌
I like yr way of explanation it gives me some relief and I want to talk to you can we share our Instagram IDs
I’m in fact thriving in isolation. I love the time I’m alone.
Solitude is your greatest strength.
Take it from me, I’ve spent a year isolated from society... in that time, I was able to do so much more with my life, open up new possibilities for myself which never would’ve been possible had I still been around society... since I never fitted in and all my “friends” were fake... every time I tried to happy, I failed...
So I followed the backwards law.
The world is your enemy
Happiness is an illusion
And pain & suffering is the key to life
Because it gives the experience needed to know the meaning of life:
Nothing.
Life is whatever you want it to be.
A reality
A dream
A game of chess
An adventure.
But the thing is... in the end, does anything we do even matter?
In sometime, everything and everyone we know, including ourselves.....
*Will be forgotten, weather we accept it or not...*
Deep
It's almost like describing the philosophy of nihilism you had a great sense of selecting words very simple to understand .. I hope I get yr Instagram I'd
I don't have any social media but RUclips and I use it 80% to educate myself.
I've detached myself from the need to be " up to date " all the time , I only use my phone for my alarm , music & to call or text when necesarry.
I think that having social media like Instagram for example made me subconsciously or consciously compare with others.
I find that the only person you should compare yourself with is the person you were yesterday.
Yes, I love this coz I always feel the same way. I don't need to compete with anyone other than the who I was yesterday

I have lived in total isolation for ten years now. Humans are complex creatures that I have never really understood. I am actually terrified of them because I know how cruel they can be my own family are just as brutal. I don’t celebrate anything like Christmas , Easter and all the other public holidays . No birthdays not even my own. There is no gift giving or receiving or sending cards or phone calls from anyone. The calendar doesn’t matter to me nor dose time or space. I live with nothing no fridge no microwave just a small table and a blow up bed on the floor. I own 1 plate one pot and a tiny pan, 1 knife 1 spoon 1 fork. Soap toothpaste toothbrush and a 2 litre bottle of Moisturiser. Oh and a large soup cup that serves as a bowl and cup. 1 pair of sneakers, socks 2 pairs of jeans and 2 denim shirts. 1 cut my hair with a small pair of Scissors and I keep it short for convenience I don’t own or wear any make up at all either. And that’s my life. I am an atheist, I haven’t got a soul in this world , I never get sick and I Thoroughly clean my teeth morning and night and still have my own health Beautiful white teeth. I haven’t visited a dentist in 25 years and I can’t remember the last time I visited a doctor. I walk everywhere, I live right on the ocean and I swim in summer and I am near the national parks in NSW Australia and I hike in winter. I have alway loved the way the Japanese used to live about 100 years ago with very little furniture, and I am so in love with Japanese houses and Japanese gardens. Everything is so minimal. I sleep on the floor every night and have the best sleep and I don’t own any chemicals to clean my home I use pure soap, water and a cotton cloth to clean and a straw broom to sweep the rug and floor. I live eat and sleep in a tiny room. I am 60 years of age . Extremely healthy and very content. I do enjoy learning on the internet and writing comments on things I have an interest in Psychology. I hope to live a long happy life like the Japanese villages do. 😊
It's really amazing after listening to you it's feels there is a person like me , our likes are same I like Japan and even I don't celebrate my birthday and I don't like these festivals , I just stay on roof top of my home and watching stars and making my own coffee and listening to wind blowing sound etc and as a person I likes you and it's formed unconditionally..... I want to talk to you can I get yr Instagram I'd
and it's not my real account if u can find time to reply this message I'm glad
You're my hero
When you're isolated, you can think more clearly🙌
When you're isolated you can think as long as you're not crazy. Because when this is over the Looney will come out.🤪.
@@charlemagnetheFranks what defines a crazy person ?

@@charlemagnetheFranks now what does it mean to be out of control?
@@-._.-._--._.-._--._.-._--._.-. out of control meaning your thoughts are out of control and you’re depressed. Bad combination.
Even for an introvert , I am missing my connection with my boyfriend as we are not able to meet. We have never been apart for such a long time.
On the plus side,
This has given me a breather, to spend more time with my cats, clean my home, read, and catch up on good sleep. I am going to sit down and write tom, about my thoughts, emotions, feelings, and decisions. This is a good time for self reflection. Going to create a quarantine schedule and stick to it.
Stay safe world. This too shall pass.
Deepika Vijakumar beautiful.
When you're apart from your significant Other letter writing is vital. Also in writing your feelings and thoughts one is able to be more fully aware and philosophical without the 'diversion' of touch and facial expressions.
In letters you actually get to know the other person BETTER. It is a blessing not a hindrance.
How do I know this for sure? When I first met my boyfriend we were homeless and our 'getting-to-know-you' sessions were restricted to conversations in the car he was living in. No sex. Only holding hands and light kissing. We felt our conversations gave us a solid basis for our love.
Then a while later he was in prison for a time and letters were all we had. Bottom line?? We then were totally together for
THIRTEEN love-filled years. Those letters helped us sooo much.
So don't be sad dear. Know that you are blessed. Some day you will be together again.
Sadly, now I am separated from my Big Guy Jeff as he just passed on. 😢😢😢 We still talk. He is not that far away.😊
Women always feels an insane need of socialization. Is normal.
I am NOT, a social creature, neither am I anti-social ; I am however, wary of people & I despise Humanity's many despicable natural traits. Hence isolation is of zero consequence to me.
Same here
I am always a little disappointed whenever I read a dumb comment or smth. Makes me lose hope

"I hate people!!!"

Isolation forcing people everywhere to listen to their intuitive voice.
benefit of social isolation : i don't have to wear bra.
As a man I hate bras! What an oppressive thing! Down with the bras! Freedom for the nipples!
Haha! Same here working home every day since lockdown .
Carmela Camba Oh I agree !!!
Adler Mow oh I think I love you. It’s a terrible invention.
@@helenndow1101 I don't think a woman should feel unconfortable to be sexy. Bras, high heels, makeup... I appreciate the effort, but in the end, if I love you I want you to feel confortable. You can be tidy without all that! There is nothing more sexy than a girlfriend in the morning using one of your bigger shirts wearing nothing underneath, with a messed hair after a long night of wild love. Gives you a sense of peace, intimacy and achivement like nothing else! :-D
Good thing I learned how to enjoy solitude before all this happened.
Same! Been self isolated for 5 years. Honestly, this is an excuse to continue being me.

interaction is nice , as needed on my terms
People now are trained literally from the cradle to leave their house all day most days and not to consider it a place to LIVE in.
Staying home is not ‘cool’ as people who prefer staying home are less likely to empty their wallets into the economy. Yes, there are a lot of online shoppers but this is generally true I find.
Sorry, but that's a wrong conclusion. Humans are not born into houses, it's the other way around - we lost the connection to (our) nature by just sitting indoors with computer work and TV - that's just one factor, why our immune system got weak compared with wild animals or outdorsy natives. Life does not depend on having a stationary home. Humankind started being nomadic. Settlement is a young phenomenom. Less than 8000 years old. This is an emergency situation and we as species should not become used to stay indoors with gaming or wasting our precious life-span with consuming products or social media content - that's exactly the main thing here, to be careful to assume, living and working just at home, would be a benefit for people and a kind of protection against pathogenic germs and infectious diseases.There is no comparison to introvert scientists who need space and solitude for their thoughts and ideas to evolve or to spiritual breaks from stressful all-day duties.
@@SC-gw8np Unfortunately not true, the digital markets work online and they need people to stay indoors - "in order to order" products and to watch ads and recommendations via algorithms to purchase more.
The global economy makes money in/with the digital surface.
People, who are naturally outdoor dudes, are no good clients.
They order statistically less stuff.
In near future, we will have less and less active workers in factories or offices.
Data is the new most valuable product to trade with.
villebooks Where are the statistics you claim? Digital markets work with and without people staying home. And people buy the products usually because they fall for marketing tactics or to show off to their friends/other people. If they no longer need to go outside for the time being, where is the incentive to buy more products?
What do you mean by outdoor dudes? There are two types: 1) who prefers the great outdoors/nature, 2) oversocialised type who has a lot of friends, is part of groups etc.
I agree that subgroup 1 people are less inclined to participate in consumerism, but not the second subgroup.
For us introverts, this is just another day. No changes necessary. For entertainment, I enjoy avoiding the news and watching the "type A" people come undone.
Haha
I'm an introvert and I still enjoy heading out for walks and even chat with people sometimes. When it's obligatory restriction it's different :) but yeah, it's in general easier for us than it is for other people.
Window Paine wow there’s always one
David S I’ve suffered with anxiety for decades so I’m always longing to be at home to do my own thing, away from stimulation but I do miss being in nature and the occasional conversation. At least our introversion has equip us for this time. Be well everyone ❤️
As long as you're not stuck with someone who drives you crazy. Have food, have activities planned. All is well. Check the movie The Lighthouse.
I'm an introvert, my life hasn't changed at all.
I love being alone.
Extroverts drive me crazy, they're like children.
Whether introvert or extravert human interaction is still important. The problem is that ppl haven't been taught the right way of how to interact with others.
@@trulyblessed5254 is human interaction important ? or is it something you just want . conserderidering that everybody is different, i don't think there can be a "right way " to interact with people IMO . personally i interact with different people in different ways and that changes as we get to know each other and the situation . but i am curious as to what you think the "right way " is, seeing as you insist on repeating yourself on maney comments
chuckcrunch1 -Let’s start with the institution of slavery it divided the world. We’re living in a world of chaos because things are being loved and ppl are being used.
I feared solitude for many years, until circumstances forced me to spend a month in a remote place, with only myself for company. It was difficult for a week. After a month, it was hard to come back.
I now make a point of spending time alone regularly. I have been much healthier since I cultivated this habit.
TIME TO WORK ON OURSELVES....WE ARE RISING TO THE TOP🔥❤🔥 much love friends...YOU GOT THIS
Silence is a friend that never betray me. Be still and the whole universe will surrendered. Be still and know that I am god. God is in us, the author of our dream.

As a young child trying to fit in with all the neighborhood kids I realized that 1. I didn't think like they all did
and 2. That when I was only being myself I got laughed at or merely ostracized. So at that young age I decided that I liked my OWN COMPANY instead of the group's uncomfortable company.
I've tried to have 'best friends' before but it never worked out. Always it got old pretty fast and, like a turtle pulling it's head in, I've ALWAYS retreated .
So I'm like a lot of ppl here commenting, the so called isolation of the pandemic just didn't affect me much. But having to wear a mask and being unable to greet folks with my smile HAS BEEN UNCOMFORTABLE. Whenever I've had to deal with The Public I pretend to be a charming extrovert and that usually works. But doing that is tiring. Always happy to go back to being alone. I bet I'm NOT THE ONLY ONE who feels this way. 😊😢😝😄 ✌.
The lockdown actually is what helped me start my healing from a very old trauma. I thought I had reached my lowest point, but instead I found a new beginning.
A perfect balance, a funambulism, a tightrope walking. Introspection teaches valuable lessons.
Humans are cursed with the DNA of a social creation and as much greatness can be found in solitude, there is no way to survive without any interaction whatsoever.
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me I see you everywhere?
you are a ghost
And yet you must learn to survive alone.
Hermits do exist. I suppose it's possible to live alone if you have a big reason for doing it . But yes I hate the social curse
I've been training for this the last decade and i didn't even know it😁 isolation is my normal...i get alot of art,meditation and reflection done. At first it was difficult but a pro now and prefer it since I'm highly empathic and since waking up friends and family are gone and pretty much everything has been dismantled in my life so i could finally be free and create a new story.I am much more peaceful. Much love to all of you💚
I spend most of my time alone writing a novel. I’m not lonely but now that I’m locked down I miss getting out for meals with friends, drinking coffee at a cafe, going to the the library.
I've started my journey to healing since 2016 , now after facing my inner demon I'm for the first time have my own sense of self, I'm starting literally to know my true me 💜💚 and nowadays I'm cleansing my liver 🌱
Day by day I'm recognising how wonderful my journey is 🌳
All the best for you all .. peace and love
These benefits of isolation are only true in short doses. If we had really stuck to "14 days to flatten the curve" or really stuck to "3 months to flatten the curve" then I would appreciate this video's perspective more. At the start of the pandemic, I had a sense of relief, because I could take time to slow down and focus on myself and my home. To be frank, there was also a lot of anger because at that time, my personal growth plan relied on trying to be more social, building my community, and that was taken away. I'm lucky that I'm a natural introvert with a "white collar" job that could be done remotely. I'm lucky that most of my hobbies can be done alone, at home. But it's been a year and a half now. Even though official lockdown measures are loosening, there's still only a fraction of the standard social opportunities available now, compared to what would have been considered normal before the pandemic. And most offices that can afford to do so are encouraging their people to work remote when able. And it seems like many vaccinated people still have a fear of those who may be secretly not vaccinated, or those openly not vaccinated, and are still reticent to congregate in public spaces that might have 'dirty' people in them. Likewise, people who feel the vaccine is unnecessary for them due to natural antibodies, low personal risk factors, or perhaps they felt the vaccines were unsafely rushed, are resentful of the current trend toward social shaming and are likely to avoid areas or events that might have vaccination or masking policies in place. At this moment there seems to be a culture of "well, I survived the lockdown, and I'm not totally comfortable with, or trusting of, other people, so I'm just going to stay at home." So even with lockdown policies easing, some people seem to have shifted into a "lockdown culture" and its just been compounding the effects of isolation in our society that were considered a problem long before the pandemic. Remember when people were concerned about the "loneliness epidemic" caused by too much digital communication and not enough face to face communication? Now that behavior is seen as a virtue in some places. The best benefits of isolation come when the isolation is a choice, that's what makes it empowering, relaxing, and a platform for personal growth. However even the most introverted person still needs social contact, in person, face to face, real contact. When we can't choose to be isolated or choose to be social, then whichever one we're forced into can be like a prison. It's true, that personal resilience for either state can be increased with positive thinking and proactive steps to mitigate discomfort, but it still can feel very oppressive when you can't choose, can't control, your level of isolation, or your level of social connectedness.
As an Introvert - I feel like I’ve been preparing for this pandemic. I don’t mind the isolation.
Introverts but on social media🤔

Thank you so much for posting this. Excellent ideas.
Thank you so much. This video really felt supportive during these times since I get a lot of energy from other people.
'... it's no surprise that people feel restless in solitude because it means that they are cut off from the things that makes life worth while...'
Well said!
Love your channel ! I absolutely love 2020 !
You are providing a great deal of hope, thank you for your inspiring videos.
I may be mis quoting, but I believe Blaise Pascal said it well, The majority of society’s problems can be explained by a person’s inability to sit in a room alone.
What a good video men, I love to see the images that you put on the videos. It makes me feel relax and calm. You are doing a great job.
I love all of your videos. Thank you.
This quarantine period was much needed for all of us
I've been sleeping alone for more than three years now and I absolutely love it ☺
Being obliged to stay home is what is bothering me. Not having the freedom to do what I want is what I don’t like. Isolation and solitude are excellent for me in general, but when I want it and how I want it.
I love your Dutch English accent man haha. I lived in Utrecht for 8 years and miss that :) I now live in East Germany on my own and have watched many of your videos which brought me to peace about being an Einelganger now for 1.5 years or a Digital Nomad. Liberating when you start to get it and find peace without distractions! Keep going dude, i'm sure your videos help many.
Thank you for this video, it's very important for us as individual to take a chance os this isolation, and put on practice some, if not all, of the tips that you present on this video.
Hope that you are well and once again thank you, your videos bring some insights that make me reflect in life.
Great work, perfectly explained in a pleasant way.
Since a few years I live alone in a remote area in the mountains on a small island. With nature all around I could never feel alone, life's full with spirits.
"If you cannot be alone, you must be bad company" :)
Loving your vids man. Keep writing
I asked my doctor to get me a note from my retail job for two weeks, I’m going back April 13th. I feel so relaxed right now it’s an amazing feeling and I’m saving myself and my mother from what could be possible tragedy within our lives. Been getting so much sleep lately, i never want this to end...
As an introverted, loner, recluse
I really dont understand
Whats the problem ??? 😔
I know- I love solitude!!! Took me awhile to appreciate myself.
You're not alone
Im a hermit--my ultimate goal is to isolate. Not because of depression as it's mostly seen, but for total peace and tranquility from this busy, negative-like world that one can't escape from.
Don't get me wrong the world is BEAUTIFUL too.
I want to immerse myself in the beautiful world and as I get older, I realize this is now a luxury to do. So, I will continue my journey into that scope of being and hopefully find that peace and tranquility that I want more than anything.
I think i just found my new favorite youtube channel! so enlightening, i enjoy how it allows me to use critical thinking and self reflection
Well, I'm glad to know you all are getting to enjoy solitude.
I have loved being alone since I was a child...alone, but with animals.
same here. I love my animal companions and despise human contact anymore. I guess I'm one of the few that can live without social contact with other "humans"...
Although I am very sad for any deaths related to this I am really enjoying this break from the frantic rat race of life. The world needed to slow down and take a break
I really needed this today, thank you.
Only 2 good things we benefit from insulation, learning to enjoy your own company and finding your true self.
When you spend enough time alone, youl " wake up and realise life isn't what it's ment to be.
Keep safe everyone and God bless.
Thank You for this conglumerate. It is a must not only in these extaordinary times, but always. I have listend to Echkart Tolle for more than 2 years now. Anyway Yoy new work came to me at the right time; my ego was about to take over and feel sorry for myself being lonely. But I do realuse, that my beibg a loner almost all my life is a gift, partly because I am usef to be rather isolated from social life, partly because I paint and write - or usef tp write a lot. And now, I started writing again becaus my day is no longer interupted by the outside world. A krisis is always a turning point ending up with many positive and good changes. Stay well 🌱⚘🍀
Love this guy. I am always listening to him so i can face all the people, problems and the world with a calm state of mind.
I couldn’t agree more! Although times are incredibly challenging I have cherished my forced working sabbatical. More time to reflect, create, peruse inspirational books, and continue working on my own book. Thanks for your wonderful videos!
Thanks for the comment, Emilie!
I am an autistic schizophrenic, I find isolation natural.
When I was young I had friends, probably because I masked my autism and my schizophrenia was in its early stages.
In middle age I have no friends as I withdrew 30 years ago and wanted to be on my own.
I have no relationship by choice and I am happy in my own space.
I say Good Morning to my neighbours and I like the occasional chat with strangers at bus stops etc. but I don't like to be involved with people.
You're so precious for not feeling the NEED of social relationships. Never change. Have some relationships ONLY if you want. 🥺 I would like to be like you. You are the symbol of the defeat of fear of loneliness.
thank you very much, sensitively presented
Much love, your content is always helpful and the music is just amazing
Thank you, Mack!
@@Einzelgänger great video. what is the music playing?
@@darlisk5356 I'm desperately searching the music
Music name given in description
All your videos are very insightful and interesting. A lot of wisdom in your words. I am a firm believer that this is what humans need on a huge scale.

Thank you brother. 👍
Fabulous stuff - just what the Dr ordered right now!
Many thanks - keep up the good work! 🙏
Solitude is a blessing. Most people are awful and awful to be around with their dysfunctional personalities, bad hygiene and constant opinions on every last thing...
Loving your content!
Please keep sharing
Thank you
Absolutely love this. I have a lot of friends not coping at the moment. Although I try and tell them it can be awesome if you 'just be', i fine it hard to explain it, so thank you🙏
Thanks Martine! Hope this helps ;)
@@Einzelgänger 👍🙏
I would enjoy this isolation for a bit but honestly, the news has me completely terrified. I have never had anxiety as bad as this, and isolation is really getting to me. I am now on some anti anxiety medication but it's not going to kick in for a while. Stay safe everyone, and remember its OK not to enjoy social isolation.
It is hard to switch off from news but limit the amount you watch. Also try Yoga and deep breathing meditation exercises to calm your thoughts.
Live in the moment and try not worry about a scenario that might not happen.
Nothing stays the same for ever and this will pass.
if you dont enjoy the time you spend with yourself, then you are in bad company
Now if someone can tell the owner of my company...that people's lives are more important than profits...I have some projects that I need to finish...
Love the message, but I have been socially isolated for 2 years now, that's why this lockdown does not bothers me. Instead i am now having many realizations, reflections and my creativity then again came out. And i know these are all temporary and make the most out of it.
In this world of chaos you are supplying people with consciousness... thanks for being there...
I don't make enough money to donate for your channel, but I don't skip ads and hit the like button thinking it would help you earn money through RUclips. I watch your videos every morning while eating my breakfast. I live alone, and your videos help me all the time; your videos are one of the reasons why I'm still alive. Thank you so much for your help.
I go to work and sometimes the store, that's all I do. Might be over doing the social isolation thing, but it's what I've done for a decade now so I guess it is what we do.
The hardest thing to master is our mind. I think these coming weeks will force people to look within, to gain insight and discover new strengths. Family, health and time. Great video, I look forward to the next one.
Lets Hope So
Great stuff as always!
I’ve been living in isolation for the last 26 years, I still have no idea who I am.
Try human connection
That's exactly what I said. We need other people just in small doses.
Wonderful video so much for learning... 🍂🙏
I think the only advantadge of be depressed is that this lookdown looks like another normal day to me.
I fact, I start to feeling better in this break of the fast paced life that was leaving me behind.
I am taking this like an oportunity to reset and restart again, with an enhanced mood and a renewed behaviour.
