    Five years ago I hit rock bottom on all metrics of what's considered a normal life. I was broke, homeless, alone and desperately clinging to every bottle of alcohol I could find. For the past two years I've spent almost all my days alone and at home. I literally separate myself from everyone. Today, I am healthy, have more money, exercising, reading novels, learning French alone, listening to music, gardening, cooking, etc. My point is this, being alone is a gift I gave myself for which I am eternally grateful. I won't be alone forever, but now I know the value it holds for my life.

    It’s so true. Nowadays if we are not careful with our time and focus, people will just devour our resources and attention robbing us of time we should be spending on bettering our own life and wellbeing. People generally want to involve others in their drama which adds nothing valuable to that person’s life.

    @@oumeima5718 There's this idea that you've been living with hyper-stimulation your entire life, and so now it's harder to keep yourself "entertained". The very need to be entertained could be similar to experiencing withdrawals. Our reward circuits are just fried because we're so used to short-term gratification. Find pleasure in small things, and comfort in stillness.

    Also in Christianity. Several times, Jesus is quoted as going out into the desert, getting away from the crowd. Some monks and religious sisters continued the tradition, inherited from Judaism. Even today, the practice of retreat prevails, whether to a convent or a monastery, a walk (like the Camino) or an period of solitude, away from unwanted influence. It may also be the case that this desire to follow the best path in life could also be contributing to the growth of single households in parts of the west. This stage is temporary for many and, with prayer and trust in God, can foster a stronger path than previously.

I'm not saying it in a pompous self-righteous way, but, they do not share my same ideals, and outright asking them to is futile. It's better to follow that path and be a role-model.

    Hey. I don’t know if this helps, but I was one of the friends that was distanced from. My high school best friend disappeared from everyone he knew when he graduated high school. I didn’t hear from him again until 4 years later, and that was for him to just check in. He wasn’t trying to be friends again. It hurt, of course it hurt. I was sad for a long time, of course. But when he came back four years later, I only asked him how he was doing, how was his new life, and if it was worth it. He said yes and that was that. I didn’t dwell too long in the time he was gone. And today years later, I know he did it for him and I hope he’s well. I say that to say, you’re unfortunately going to hurt some people. And not all of them will stick around, but if this is what’s best for you then it’s what’s best for YOU. And you’re the only one that you have to answer to at the end of it all and determine if you did the best you could and everything you wanted to. Anyone else will either have to understand and wait for your return, understand and remain completely distanced, or not get over it and have you live rent free in their heads. But you still have to do what’s best for you, random internet stranger. Coming from someone that lost their best friend to the very same thing. :) Good luck! P.S. for anyone wondering if I’m glad he reached out or if I wish he hadn’t. I wish he hadn’t. I was happy to hear he was safe and sound, but it reopened the wound I worked hard to close. It would have been different if he reached out in the name of friendship, but he really just wanted to check in and disappear again (which was a known fact. No wishy washy stuff or false promises.)

    I really needed this today. I had an ego death experience a few months ago (a sober one!) and when I came out of it, I had such a hard time holding on to the wonderful parts of myself I had found. I knew it was necessary to regain some sense of ego and some psychological defenses just to navigate the world, but I was shocked how poorly people responded to what had happened to me and how quickly a number of people around me treated me very badly for not conforming to their idea of how I should be in any given moment. I had to cut off a number of people just for the sake of my own heart because I couldn't take the pain of their cynicism and disdain. Since then, I've felt bitterness creep in. And I've been working my way through it, but I felt like I had failed at something. But realizing now how new and fragile my mindset was, it's not surprising that I regressed somewhat. I felt like someone who finally quit smoking after a lifetime and was constantly finding myself in rooms filled with toxic smoke. I've retreated from the world quite a bit, but I felt ashamed for doing so. It made me feel like it was impossible for me to live in the world anymore because I was just too fragile. That all the people who seemed to be insisting that their negativity was "normal" and the only sensible response to living in a chaotic world were actually right. I began to break faith with what I had come to learn and know -- namely that there is a better way to live in the world. This video helped remind me that just because I haven't strengthened myself fully yet to navigate in the great wild world doesn't mean I won't be able to one day. And that I still have the chance to overcome my bitterness and disappointment and shame.

During Covid he began to sell this substance and made it very easy for me to obtain. I had to cut him off completely, block his number and even delete my social media. I asked him to leave me alone for a while and I haven’t heard from him since. We had been through a lot together but I can’t go down this path with him. I can never be friends with him again. I have been on the straight and narrow since and have finally found my true self. Good luck to you on your journey.

    I made this mistake in a big way. Long story short I moved in with my girlfriend and her children. I thought I could raise them up. But they took me down terribly. It's been 7 years that was over and im still feeling the affects. I grossly overestimated my strength and ability.

    It is very difficult to walkaway from influences especially from your close friends after transforming and choosing a new path in life with new habits integrated into your lifestyle. It is better to isolate yourself and let the fire blaze up enough to burn away the temptation and influence.

    Very well articulated . Excellent content . This world needs people like you . Keep up the good work 🙏 A sapling needs fence till it becomes a tree . Nurture and persevere. I liked the example : You are with someone if u r in the company of a tv show or a podcast . How true . Going a step further … In fact we are with ourselves ( our mind ) even if we r in solitude sans all social media . We r never alone per se till the time we master our mind. / thoughts .

    This analogy makes more sense than your other video on the topic. I'm all about taking ownership of situations but I'm stuck in a hostile work environment. I NEED to get out of that. The concept that it's me because I can't deal with stress made go hmmm. Not that I didn't ponder your advice. But this applies to my situation. When I step out of the situation, I recover. When I go back to it in a few weeks I'm on my face again. Thank you for revisiting this topic.

    Hey bro, Just thanks for this video, it helps out greatly. For past 4 months nothing makes sense, life is like a rollercoaster going up very little and going down 10x of that, my mind just isn't in its right state anymore, I feel like there's this fog inside my mind and I can't think clearly, zoned out, overthinking, ruminations most of the time, it's very very shit, my friends they're good but the things they say sometimes as " joke ", being in my lowest state, these type of words hits like a knife, I see myself having alot of potential, but I feel it all being wasted day by day. Your video and the things you said is maybe just what I wanted to hear, complete disconnection from the world and focusing on my goals and achieving my ambitions. Thanks.

The last days it was for me so hurtful, because the people around me cant understand my viewing point and often I thought I act wrong and egoistic. I get always reminded why I am on my way to the next chapter. I am ready for it, for new people, for people in a higher consciousness and for an upgrade version of me ;D thank you for reading

Unfortunately i will have to cut ties with two people that are very important to me but those are the same negative people fading my spark feeling i had while being fully focused on myself and what really matters, they just dont have the same urgency as i do and i dont have time to waste.

    I'm currently struggling with this. I've developed a horrible habit of going on the internet and pretty much purposefully looking for stuff that I know will make me feel depressed and incredibly anxious. It's an addiction at this point, and it's funny that it is because engaging in this doesn't offer any relief, it just makes me feel terrible. It's stopping me from progressing in my life and making the positive changes I know I need to make.

But something in me felt a certain obligation to the people and factors around me , I didn't feel like I was allowed to that it's selfish and dramatic so I decided against it. Then this video pops up at the right moment and it's made my decision that much easier. Thank you for this

    There is one influence above all others and it is the hardest to escape. 8+ hours a day 40+ hours a week. You need it to pay the rent and pay for groceries. It's your job. Everything else pales in comparison. Every social media any friend even any lover has little influence compared to the time and energy required by your job. So yeah ditch your friends. Ditch the screens. Go away. But oh do you have enough vacation time to really get to the point where you are burning bright again? For a lot of us no because we know we'll have to go back to the job that is destroying us snuffing us out day by day hour by hour.

    Isn’t it amazing how the universe works Just last night I decided to take myself out of the lives of some people who I know have just drained my energy and self worth I am inherently a massive introvert and know in my heart of hearts that I need to spend some time now alone While I work a lot and a lot of my work involves speaking to people, I do it from home and have managed to really carve out a niche for myself in my profession. This keeps me more than fulfilled. But I cherish solitude and I just know that this is what I now need to find my centre again and to clear out all stagnant energy.
