    I think some people have confused my “perceived” comment with fear of what other people think. What I meant was I feel too exposed; anyone knowing that I exist, and can see what I’m doing at that given moment. In the woods, when I’m alone, no one in the world knows how im existing at that time, and i find great comfort in that. I worked through my fear of judgement a long time ago ♥️

    You’re living in a fake imaginary world, you give what you want to the online world. You’re getting paid from KZread to create all this fake copy life. I’d be more concerned on that than people in real life. Having to run back and forth for a camera , living through a camera, giving people/kids a false scenario all while getting paid through KZread for anybody to watch ?? You aren’t alone, your with a camera talking to thousands you don’t even personally know while claiming to be alone n doing things alone? For show . Real people who want to be alone / do things alone don’t video n broadcast it online

    I am 52, and a bit of a hermit. I've arrived at a place at self-acceptance when so long I've questioned why. This is just the way I show up. Some people enjoy reciprocity with other people, and I enjoy my relationship with nature and my autonomous, quiet explorations of things that interest me.

    I worked in healthcare for almost 30 years & had constant anxiety when I was there, relaxed only when I was home. By the time I retired I was having migraines nearly every day & other health problems which ultimately required me to retire. Since I quit, I have had NO migraines, not a single one! The other problems have almost disappeared as well. I really didn't realize how stressed out I was until I wasn't & 3 years on I still revel in it. I live in a tiny town in Oregon, love to work in my garden & on home improvement projects. When I need to socialize I go to the grocery store or thrift shop, come home & am satisfied for another week or so.

    I've tried to explain the idea of "being perceived" to so many people/friends now and no one seemed to get it. But you described it exactly how I experience it. I like being alone or with my person because I don't have to perform or pretend and worry about how people will perceive me. I do still like going out occasionally but then it's because it's on my terms and I allow the world to see me in that moment.

    I grew up on a farm, loved it, but spent most of my adult life living in the city. I feel trapped indoors as I almost never leave the house except to go on errands. When I do, I feel so conspicuous, nervous, and anxious because of people. I actually feel my life was wasted because I couldn't live where I wanted. I've now been gone from the country so long that I'm afraid to be alone there now. And I'm now 76. Live where you want. Do what you want, and don't let anyone push you into anything else. You have one life, dear, live it as you want. I'm about to cry. I love your videos. You are like a free bird. Stay that way. And love life. God bless.

    Anyone who has a lot of empathy or is an empath can be “hit” with other people’s feelings, good and bad. I think your feeling that. I do occasionally when another person’s emotions are very high. I find my energy will match theirs. Not always a great thing if they’re angry. I work in healthcare so I take time to ground myself, take deep breaths, and to remind myself that it’s not my emotions I’m feeling. We connect to you because you are a bright light in a truly messed up, wonderful world. Bright blessings to you Hannah! Btw, that older couple holding hands in front of you on the little plane was lovely. 🥰

    Diary Of Another Anxious Girl - I moved to the country about a year and a half ago, and I am never going back to a suburb or city ever again to live! We went downtown Chicago about five years ago, and there were so many people in the streets, and there was a group of people playing drums, and I literally started crying and didn’t know why, but then suddenly realized I was having a panic attack. I now know I’m very empathic. I was picking up on other peoples feelings and energy.

    Thank you for validating me in being vulnerable. My family doesn't understand my need to be a hermit, and that I find comfort and peace in it. When I commuted to the city was when I felt the most anxiety in my life, and then again when I worked in a farm market and had to occasionally cashier when I would rather be stocking in the back. It can be debilitating and alienating when you feel like you aren't normal compared to other people, but I think as I get older I have found some peace in the fact that this is who I am, and I am okay with that. And knowing there are others like us out there makes it all that more lovely. Not everyone can be main characters, and that's okay.

It’s natural to want wide open spaces and nature. Cities take away freedom and as a empath I pick up everyone’s energy when I’m around a lot of peeps. I prefer 1-2 people at a time I really like these days.

A life of not being in spaces with a lot of people where I can’t hide in a corner and not be noticed. I was unfortunately pressured into moving in with other relatives who didn’t want me to live alone and it has been the biggest mistake of my life. Everything about the environment from the people to the home to every event is just loud and unsettling, for lack of a better term. It is my hope to one day do something at least similar to what you have done and have a small home in the country where I can be alone, enjoying nature just as it is and peace. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

    We all, and I mean every single person of us have feelings of anxiousness. Some of us contemplate on and about those emotions a fair amount. Others, we just blow right past or through them. As one who has to be vigilant about hermitizing, as I call it, I understand. There are times when I have to force myself to interact with people. I was very shy as a child, and I still am to a lesser degree as an adult. It has gotten easier for me to approach and interact with people that I don't know. Part of it is that I have chosen to not focus so much on how I think people feel about me, or how they actually feel about me. Folks are going to think what they choose to think. I can't change their minds. I can only truly be me. I call this mind set, "Turn of my give a care". Of course I still do care, kind of, sort of. None of us need toxic people in our lives. I have learned that I can be my own toxic person. That is my daily battle. To let folks be folks, and let me be me, and enjoy life in spite of all of our own shortcomings. Life is too sweet, and too short to let things deter us from enjoying life. I say all of this for me first, because I am the one who needs to hear my own encouragement to just enjoy. Just enjoy.

I have distanced myself from them, but I still try to stay in touch, and their comments still hurt. Its always comforting to know someone out there understands. ❤

It got so bad I started getting chronic somatic pain because of all the stress of living in an apartment complex with terrible neighbours. Became a complete hermit during COVID. And since then I still rarely leave the house. Moved to the country with my partner last year and it’s helped a lot. Have almost an acre of outdoor space now. Very tired of so called mental health professionals treating you like there’s something seriously wrong when you tell them you don’t enjoy being around people, that it’s exhausting.

They don’t have the bandwidth to care, so to speak. This doesn’t mean the feelings we have aren’t real, but understanding that the few who might be crass enough to say my shoes look funny are few, far between and unworthy of my time or brain power.

    I’m so split in half with small town vs. city life. I’ve experienced both- and the grass was always greener on the other side when I lived in a small town. I wanted the energy of a city. So I got it. I enjoyed it for a bit, until I didn’t. I still love the energy- but as I’ve grown I’ve realized it’s about the PEOPLE for me. It’s about how my surroundings make me feel. I’ve realized big cities can be fun, but the people tend to be cold and keep to themselves alot. Covid made that worse- there’s just a feeling of separation, no real community. I moved from Northern Virginia right outside of DC, to Indiana. It’s a different feeling. It’s a more homey feeling. People say hi, they smile, they try to be friendly. I didn’t realize how much I needed that.

    What's helped me over the years is to remember that the only people's opinions about me that matter are the ones who matter to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not everyone will like you and that's ok. When you stop worrying about what others are thinking then you can find that peace. Easier said then done, don't I know it. But the first step is what we say to ourselves. Be kind to yourself, don't over think it and give yourself some grace. You are a wonderful person and you are living a full life! Girlie, you are truly blessed!! I hope one day you can make peace with it. Happy and safe travels!!! 💕

    Your vulnerability is helpful. I live in Philadelphia. There have been times when I want to go out bc I’ve spent too much time inside but I hear people walking around outside, and like you said the anxiety of being “perceived” even by strangers passing by will prevent me from leaving. It’s ok bc I love being in my home. And I do love the energy, the architecture, and culture of the city. But I also love solitude in nature. We’re wonderfully complex beings. ❤

    Boy, this spoke to me! I have lived in a number of cities big and small since childhood (Toluca Mexico, Paris, Gottingen Germany, and NYC to start with). As an adult I lived in NYC for 6 years and I always felt under siege. I was never relaxed, my sleep went to hell, and I actually became physically ill from the enormous stress it was to my overly sensitive nature. Thank goodness, we moved out of the city about 15 years ago. I've been back to visit, and I have to say it felt like entering a war zone to me. There were a few things I adored about NYC (art, music, parks, people watching, food), but mostly I hated living there. I am a country rat through and through. My whole nervous system is in a better place with quiet and the slower pace of life.

    I have never ceased to be amazed by your adventurous spirit, and how your anxiety presents so closely to my own. I live on the northern East Coast, and grew up in the city/suburbs and never could quite explain why I was always so nervous/anxious. Moving to a remote part of the state has not only decreased that, but allowed me to finally explore myself not just as a person but as a human truly feeling comfortable in his little slice of the earth. Thank you for sharing your journey. I know, from experience, how difficult it can be to share sometimes, to make yourself vulnerable to others, and it doesn’t go unappreciated. Not all of us have your strength and your pure passion for life, and anytime you have doubts about your ability to help even one person through their own struggles and journey, just know that, in this man’s case, you have made a difference. Thank you Hannah

    You deepen my desire to live out in the woods, secluded, slowly making it my own, and today I’m entirely sure that’s what I want because I feel the exact same way when I’m in the city and my existence is perceived. I thrive in the the comfort of my home/ yard where I can adhd clean or create for hours on end or listen to a book walking around my house butt ass naked or go outside and feed random animals and create little peaceful sitting areas where I just listen to nature. Thank you for being vulnerable and making me more sure of myself ♥️

Although my town is a country town, I often find it hard to walk out the door. I Its a place where I am at emotionally but seeing and hearing your struggles made me fee less alone in this walk. I am getting therapy and that is a huge help.

    I totally get that feeling in cities too! I was “diagnosed” with anxiety when I lived in Atlanta many years ago. Even went down that toxic pharma route for a few years and that obviously didn’t work. I now live in a small town on a 40 acre organic farm in the mountains, and I no longer suffer with anxiety 😊🙏 I’ve also done a lot of other things spiritually to manage anxiety (yoga, meditation, breath work and energy work) but I believe my location in the city was a big culprit. I am a sensitive empath so crowds and cities are a lot of energy for me to take in on a regular basis. I like your insight that you feel perceived in a city. I haven’t thought about it that way and it makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for sharing ❤
