My thoughts: • Standing alone is easier than standing with the wrong people • Being logistically close to someone, does not mean you're not standing alone • Standing alone at the right time builds strength, resolve, and may attract the people you need

I think you mean standing alone is BETTER than standing with the wrong people. But it's also less extrinsically rewarding in my experience. The idea that it will "attract the people you need" seems like a slight bit of wishful thinking.

However much we find ourselves in a circumstance of being part of a cozy, all-trusting group, a cosmic mind as some people call it, as we grow older we will find invariably that there are reasons that make us different in some way or the other, from those that are our innermost circle. These could be lifestyle choices, a greater preference for solitude and reflection, or, the saddest of them all, a health issue that makes us less and less a desirable person to have close, or that even family find tiresome, irritating, or a sheer nuisance. If these don't form the state of being alone, then the most inevitable of all truths - death - does it in the bluntest way possible.

After surviving a negative relationship with a narcissist for 19 years, I know deep in my heart and soul I'm ready to leave and move on. I finally realize that I love myself too much to keep allowing someone to verbally abuse me on a daily basis. I just want peace of mind for my well being as a person. I'm not the horrible names he calls me every single day. God will guide me from now on

Someone once asked me, "If someone calls you a chair, does that mean you are a chair?" Puts it into perspective about people that call you names.

I saw Brene last month in Austin, Texas and she is her authentic self ALL THE TIME. I learned so much during her Keynote speech and then this one is HUGE. ❤

My struggle has always been that I worried what others think of me. My worries of not belonging. I have lived in the us for over 30 years but always feel alone. Once I heard not to place too much in your feelings. Not sure if that is correct. However Brene Brown is so talking to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I don’t think anything of you. No positive or negative. Get in ring with me. Be vulnerable and trust I’ll engage appropriately. Feel a lot of same as you. I got a ton to give. Only real conversation tho. I hope your day is going well.

For most of my life, I had believed that my worth and value was based on what others thought of me. I have finally learned to have faith in myself, and although I have always been single and have lived alone, I am no longer lonely and am happy to let go of all else, to trust myself and my own feelings. This is a lovely talk. Thank you. Yes, going through the wilderness, the fears and tears that brought me here, has been my healing. Best wishes to all! 🙂

Even happy couples need to have their own time. Two people dont come togeather to be a single person. They compliment eachother. However, you dont need to be complimented because you can always build yourself to meet that want or need.

Had a dream years ago Where a scripture was given to me out of a dead sleep. When I opened the bible and went to the page , it was the scripture that said do not be conformed to this world. I knew God was speaking to me directly. It was pretty humbling ❤

@hbkkashleyy1685 This happens to me with Oracle cards, synchronicity is everywhere when one is open to it. Like all the seemingly random hearts in everything that keeps showing up for me, puddles, food, etc., literally everywhere. Unity consciousness, we are all connected.

I love Brené. Anytime I am having a hard time, she has answers for me. It helps me remember that when I am not fighting a battle, someone else is, and to remember how that felt. Remain kind. This too shall pass.

I love her SO MUCH! And this is what I needed to hear today as I've been bummed out about something my manager said to me yesterday. I felt underestimated and misunderstood, like she didn't see all my devotion to the work. But I'm not going to let it get to me. I also saw a video from Abraham Hicks before this one that said, just be who you are and change for nobody. Then when people try to get you to be someone different (so they can feel better), just step back and watch the show. In other words, allow them to have their opinion but don't engage with it. I love these two ladies so much. 🥰🙏

Yes, this explains exactly what Jesus taught us. When I feel the wilderness it is hard and question why why why....but it's my time of reflection without all the noise of what others expect from me. To find myself again! So grateful that toxic people were weeded out but it wasn't easy. Thank you for this beautiful message.

Thank you for this!!

Powerful words to remember. "I AM THE Wilderness". Thank you Brene

It can take a lifetime to know oneself Its better to just be human and kind

You melt a heart with your compassion and wisdom…to believe and belong in yourself….it’s Freedom , it’s your self love ….I’m so Grateful …

Stand up for yourself and never change to fit in or to just want him to love you move🤠🥲🥴only one who will love u more is urself………………………2023

"I am the wilderness." Profound.

I so needed this. Thank you!

Guidance comes when the wisdom of this opening allows for gentle strength 🌾🌻🧡

I've been a huge fan of Brene Brown for a long time but this is the best I've seen from her so far.

Wonderful..I will use this. I am the wilderness and I belong to me. I needed to hear this today.TY

So amazing and inspiring. When we begin to have faith in ourselves the challenges that we face actually become easier to accept. They may seem greater in sense of difficulty but faith allows us to accept and with this we may find the way to overcome or resolve the issue more gracefully. ❤️

Loved this. "I am the Wilderness" - such a powerful 10 minute video. TY

I never felt of belonging, that's why I've always felt free [of tides]. Thank You Brené, I've just realised this while watching this video 🙏

Brilliantly said. Assuming Positive Intent is the best definition I have ever heard of the word Generosity ❤

Where inner strength and confidence are found. 💜❄️💎

Thank you, Brene'. I needed the reinforcement of this right now! Thank you, through your own courage, for helping the rest of us find our own.

i love brene. She's so calming.

Thank you Brenee Brown!!! At long last someone is describing me in a way that makes my soul feel peaceful! Thank you Brenee for being so honest and courageous! That’s about the only way to inner peace and happiness!

To Love God, To serve God an to know God. Do that, you will love yourself, help others. Always be smiling. Yes still be yourself. Hard to do raised blue collar, rancher, farmer, cowboy.. We eat barb wire an spit out staples. But yes, Love is key. I think we do that in my background but its hidden deeply an seen as weakness. Just now Learning it is a Strength. God Bless!

I use this for my addiction classes... amazing motivation

I love you Brene. keep truth going to grow and develop as being humans!!!

"My two personal values Faith & Courage". Our culture and our times, so much brighter with Brene Brown, so grateful for you! Thank you 🙏 😊 ☺ .

Really needed to hear this..... lots to process.

Thank you for articulating that which I was unable to , describing my own current journey. God bless you. I felt so alone and isolated and was beginning to entertain thoughts of uniqueness, with what I was experiencing. Again thank you for helping me not feel so alone.

this is so good. I dont normally appreciate this person so much

So Profound and Sublime. Thank you!

Your voice and way of speaking is awesome, I sense truthfulness, boldness and genuineness, some how I liked listening to you. Thanks

Thank you for the story about gossip. I never looked at it that way.

To become safer as a human being, I had to risk letting go of my need to be safe... And I had to access and process the buried hurt, anger and fear, driving this need... To become more loving, I had to give up holding on to the unreasonable need: to be loving, all the time... And I had to access and process the shame, hurt, fear and anger that were driving this need... To access a deeper compassion than ever felt before, I had to let go of trying to live up to the expectation of having to be compassionate... To become more vulnerable, I had to bring into consciousness all the programming and commands that kept vulnerable emotions inaccessible... To feel more connection with other human beings, I had to challenge the command that I have to be alone, to be safe, and to survive... To feel more love, I needed to stop seeking safety and I needed to risk allowing people: to come close...

This is DEEP ❤❤❤.

Awesome speech Very grateful for this message

Incredible. Now I know why I had to distance myself from some people, though before this, was unable to figure out why. She nails it, BRAVING, love it!

I love the positive atmosphere you create in your videos. It's a breath of fresh air in the mental health space. Looking forward to more uplifting content!

There is a greater world out there no problem. It is love. And it's sometimes painful to know yourself as best you can and know others.

I must echo your sentiments & particularly the "tone of your voice" comment. The tone, diction, and cadence with which she speaks, for me, is so comforting, if not mesmerizing. It's so disarming and nonathoratative that it allows the content of her message to be received and processed in such a productive way. It comes across as unscripted and completely genuine; not as her 'teaching', but rather as 'sharing'. Beautifully done and a wonderful transfer of her message.

Now I have a way to explain me! I appreciate you

Thanks. This helped me today.

What a true and beautiful speech! We are never alone. God is always with us.

Love her last words.

Her synthetesation of Ms. Angelou's work changed my life. I'm sitting next to The Gifts of Imperfection right now. It's still one of my favorite Brene pieces of work and a very healing book. Highly recommend.

I strongly recommend reading Maya Angelou’s work. I especially recommend her works of poetry.

Wow this spoke to me!

I try to live by the only reason you should be looking down on someone is when you're helping them up. You taught me that Brene and I must admit I do have a generous assumption of people however people have broken that over and over again with me and I find it hard to accept and have been treated like a doormat several times because of asserting myself and then having others gaslight me and push me to a point where I then have acted in a way that is not living up to my morals and values or in my integrity and then I have to find forgiveness for myself all over again. Do what is easy life will become hard, Do what is hard life will become easy. 'Read that again'

As pointed out We fill in the blanks creatively, our minds make it up. Please remember that, and thats what the sages have always done and we believe them because we cant stand not knowing

This is inspiring and thought provoking and divinely guided to see this only moments after achieving what I thought never possible. Thank you for sharing this inspiration and encouragement.

wow....loved the powerful message BRAVING!

and some of us have been truly blessed to be coming from the wilderness. We resisted that pier pressure & urge to 'fit in & comply'. We listened to what was feeding our soul by being comfortably to sit alone and absorb nature's energy. To many we looked like the outsider as we stayed 'isolated' from conforming to what is their normal. When Covid hit and everyone panicked because they didn't know how to sit with themselves, we didn't miss a beat and embraced the qualities and lifestyles that are our normal. It is more than okay to be different, be independent from those that are sadly crippled to feel ralled into a corporate way to be accepted. We have battled it from the opposite direction and as you grow through the seasons of life, you enter the final one of being carried and cared for because you honored that time of being content by yourself ❤

God bless you❤❤❤

First of all I want to let my family know that I love them. They make sure to let me know when I am getting lost. I trust them. They trusted me cooking in all my social discomfort conditions. I am socially awkward. With other conditions. If we can share, maybe nobody will ever regret that night. Shout out to my youngest brother. Love you kid.

Brené Brown leaves us speechless, in awe, With wisdom that strikes like a thunderous draw. Her words ignite fires, deep within the soul, Leaving us inspired, with a newfound goal. In her speech, echoes of courage ring clear, Dispelling doubts, banishing fear. For in vulnerability, we find our might, Brené Brown's speech, an illuminating light. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Not just unimpressive intellectually, but impressively shallow

Brene, you are my Maya Angelou. Every time I revisit your work, I embed it deeper and deeper until it's in my bones. (I love Maya Angelou too though 😊)

It is difficult to feel that you are worthy, until you find one person in ur life who treats you that way. For me, you are that person.

Belonging to oneself is indeed crucial for a healthy and fulfilling life. When we prioritize our self-worth over external validation and societal expectations, we can truly embrace our authentic selves and live a life that aligns with our values and goals. However, it is also important to acknowledge that humans are social creatures and need a sense of belonging and connection with others. Striking a balance between individuality and social connection is key. We can belong to ourselves while forming meaningful relationships and communities supporting and empowering us.

Just what I needed today. Thank you!

I always go back to Maya when I need emotional strength, especially as a woman. She resonates down through my life. Talk about an “influencer.” On a higher level than the shallow pretenders today.

I am this kind of soul belonging everywhere and nowhere for obvious reasons 😊

We don’t belong to ourselves…we belong to God…we are His workmanship……

Would love to see Brené and Jordan Peterson talk.

Never have and Never will🕊❣️

This quote was never troubling to me. It was the most logic thing I’ve ever heard when I heard it first time because I’ve already lived it.

Wow! what an interesting subject got me lost in my thoughts; I never belong anywhere, or to a group of people but i always felt being part of something bigger, i feel safer alone (as survival sort of speech) but this never altered my love for humanity and my soul purpose of empowering others. Thank you for this.

Believe in your vision of what you want to accomplish in your life. Don;t let anyone bully you, you have a voice and continue to use it. The tools that you are learning either positive or negative will help you in your future to make the right choice for your life. Believe me you might feel that you are in the dark right now, but the light will be seen, Just have faith, and remember that this too shall pass.
