    i’m the total opposite- love being alone and have a fear of being with too many people. you’ve inspired me to move out of my comfort zone :)

      I know right! Although I'm not scared of being near to too many people I love this sensation of being alone and getting this self contact with yourself.
      "Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone"
      This phrase already explains everything

    I absolutely love that you’re fighting through your bad habits and fears! Going to the gym and getting over that anxiety can be hard but pushing yourself makes you better. Love to see you grow and evolve, it definitely helps me do the same 💛

    I heard this quote from a friend that I think ties into this perfectly: if silence, stillness and loneliness make you uncomfortable its your body’s way of telling you that you need to spend more time in that space. For example: spending time by yourself- if that makes you uncomfortable your body needs more of it

    A “silent retreat” really helped me get better at being alone!! You can do any length of time (I did 2 days) where you don’t talk, use your phone, and only read really! No tv either! It really does force you to sit with God, listen to Him, and enjoy being alone!

  • @daphne9799
    @daphne9799 2 года назад +22

    I’ve had such bad gym anxiety in the past and the one thing that always helps is telling myself I will just go and walk for 20 mins on the treadmill and then almost every time once I’m there walking I do other exercises because I’m already there but sometimes I’m still too anxious and I just feel proud that I was able to get a 20 min walk in! An emotional support water bottle also helps!

    so happy you finally realised you're an extrovert lmaoo cause I've been watching you for so long and every time you'd say you're an introvert I'd be like girl... no you're not. it's super easy to tell by your videos, especially when you say you don't like being alone cause that's an introvert's paradise

  • @cajsalisaedberg2750
    @cajsalisaedberg2750 2 года назад +11

    As I've gotten older (I'm 24) I've become kinder to myself and stoped pushing myself to do things that make me uncomfortable and stoped judging myself for simply being uncomfortable.
    If there's something I actually want to do or if I feel limited from living my life I push myself to overcome that discomfort, like going to the gym alone. But if it's something I don't really want to do but feel like I "have to do", like going to a party, I don't push myself to do that anymore. Some things make me uncomfortable and that's okay.
    It's been soo nice since I've accepted this. I feel like I've become more respectful towards myself and who I am. We're all different!

  • @Lizzy_Garfield

  • @serenediipity

    part of vlogger culture is always being surrounded by 4+ friends and it's definitely comforting to see you force yourself to go out alone since not everyone has friends to constantly go out with :)

    Girl, I love how you were strong and didn't make that car road range driver situation the entire focus of your day and you didn't allow it to ruin your day, you just moved on realizing that this is life and stuff like this happens! That was really motivating to be honest!

    this video was so comforting to me wow, i didnt know that there were other ppl that felt literally the exact same way i do about going places alone/being alone. ive always felt extremely uncomfortable going places alone and have been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone lately to get better at it, and this video just made me feel so much better and made me want to keep practicing at it. i guess like everything its just gonna take practice :)

  • @adambloom7499
    @adambloom7499 2 года назад +1

    I used to struggle with this same problem. I believe my biggest problem at the time with being alone in public is that I didn't want to be perceived as "lonely" by other people, and that realization alone made me uncomfortable. Honestly, the best thing that helped me overcome that is what ur doing in this video so hooray!:] but also just romanticizing my life in general. Thank you 4 this video because this is something that more people should talk about.

  • @oliviaeade517
    @oliviaeade517 2 года назад +1

    ok but 6:34 to 7:10 I relate to so much! When I'm with my favorite people my energy gets boosted through the roof even when I'm pretty tired/annoyed. But some times, (not all the time) when I'm in public alone I get anxious until I've been there a few times/start to know some people there. Idk if that makes sense lol... anyway I frickin love this series & it makes me so happy so thank you for making it + continuing it!! i love youu 💗💗

  • @olivialeone9984
    @olivialeone9984 2 года назад +6

    Instead of thinking you’re losing energy from being alone in public try thinking about the benefits of being alone in public you are able to pick up the energy from being around other people but you don't have to take anything away from your self care. Being an extreme extrovert I love going to a coffee shop by myself and watching other people do the same it leaves me energized.

    Do not pressure yourself to be someone you are not. If you like being with people then be with people, what is important is to be flexible enough so if you have to be alone is not a terrible experience. You don’t have to enjoy being alone, you just have to deal with it in a positive way. Truly, don’t feel so bad if you can’t fully enjoy being alone, if it is not part of you

I started going to dance class alone once a week, aswell as going for nature walks with my dog. One of my irrational fears is my husband passing away young which comes down to being alone again 😂❤️ This is the push I needed to learn how to love being alone again too, and to start working out again! Thanks beautiful!
