How to Connect with People When You Feel like an Outsider | Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart admits that before his awakening experience, he often felt as if he was separated from the rest of humanity. However, there are always chances to deeply connect with others, especially when you are in a space with fellow spiritual seekers. He also gives a gentle warning not to become completely wrapped up in this “outsider” identity, as it can lead to the same egoic dysfunction as any mind-made self.

    Great video, love Eckhart!. I 'll be 60 yrs old this year, and I still don't fit in, never married, my relationships have never succeeded, but I've always been a happy camper. My sister would always call me an old soul ( even though she was 6 yrs older ), and my mother once asked me why I'm so weird. Since discovering spirituality, I've never been happier. I wish everyone Peace, Love, & tranquility!

I meditated on exactly the kind of person my partner would be in great detail. With much clarity, I spoke the words out load to the universe. I believed and acted as if it had already been accomplished. Before I knew it that person showed up in my life and I knew with great certainty that my affirmation had manifested. I had to become the person that I wanted to attract into my life. The universe responded in kind. We have grown together over the years, always placing our friendship above everything else. We always choose to be happy over being right. I hope that sharing this will help you find your partner, your best friend and your happiness as well.

Don’t use words like “want”, think more like “I need commitment” but make that statement with confidence, not in a needy way. Make statements like “I am certain I will find my soul mate!”, and write it down on paper, pin it on your door, manifest it into the physical world. You will find your soulmate and it will be amazing! Take care

    ​@@JB-wy8fc I've been trying to spend time with myself so I can know myself - the true self Tolle mentions as the you that exists when you're listening to someone speaking and you're waiting for them to resume their words (so you aren't thinking or interacting, you're just being, which is the true 'you' devoid of external noise). Knowing that true 'me' means I can better recognize the qualities I see in my true self reflected/exhibited (or not) in others. If I recognize those aspects of me in them, I am not an outsider, and they are just a stranger as yet unknown. If I don't recognize any of the aspects of the true me in others I try to honor them as being sugar while I'm salt, so to speak, and the two don't need to cohabitate if they just don't pair well. My point is you - the conscious ego you think you are - can be open to connection with your own true self when you're alone (and thereby not be lonely), because you truly are 'hanging out' with a 'you' that is the realest you, but is also often a stranger to the ego-saturated you). Viewed that way, you aren't really alone. So loneliness can be less a problem despite being physically alone. Recognizing your true, non-ego self's characteristics, you are then in a better place to recognize those qualities in others and therefore again loneliness can be less a problem (or non-existent, even). True loneliness comes from not knowing your true self and from being with others whose selfhood shares little overlap with your true self.

    I always feel like an acquaintance and I've never had close relationships with anyone except maybe a cat. I enjoy my own company more than with other people.

But it's reassuring to know that its ok.

    I once read that introverts find relationships or interactions draining because they give energy to maintain the interaction, whereas extroverts take energy from the interaction. It sounds like you are a strong introvert so you need to be careful who you spend time with. I also find some interactions can be very draining. You may also have autistic or asperger tendancies. I have a family member like that - they don't do well in company. Whatever it is, you must honour the way you feel and not try to fix it. We're not broken, just different!

    @@LMB2301 Thank you. Yes it has crossed my mind that I might be slightly autistic but I don't want to label myself. I remember when I was younger that I loved exploring the neighbourhood on my bicycle or doing adventurous things in the garden. Often, I would decide to do it and then kids my age would want to copy me or join me. But I was happy exploring even if they weren't there. Also, I've never felt the need or wanted to initiate friendships with my peers. And I'm still kind of like that now. There are the odd people who I find interesting but I really struggle to want to keep people around me. I don't know how to explain it really. But I'm realising now that it's ok to be me and to not need to behave how 'normal' people behave.

    Often times we thing that the letting go of the ego construct will result in us feeling "disconnected" from Life, or other individuals, when in fact. In my experience, the opposite is the case. The more I let go and give myself permission to be who I really am unconditionally in all moments, the more I feel connected to EVERY single being around me, and the more I heal myself and others in the process. If you step into this space, you can expect to heal multiple generations of repressed desire and connection to who you really truly are. Great video Eckhart.

    I started gaining more friends when I started listening more and serving more. I stopped trying to be right and looked for opportunities to encourage. I also gained quality friends by taking my time getting to know people, so yes I spent time alone, but it was worth the wait. I'm also never afraid to make friends outside my age group. However, my very very best friends are my husband and four children.

    It's comforting to know that quite a few people feel like me, like this hehe And it's so tempting to just surrender and accept that I shouldn't be counting on fitting in with the majority of people ever. The desire to be liked by everybody is so strong and egoic attempts to achieve that are quite draining. Might as well just accept the futility and move on. About fitting in - maybe it'll happen, maybe it won't, who knows? But I sense it would be so liberating to stop working so hard for it. I'm getting there😀 Wish everyone a beautiful time of the day wherever you are🙃and thank you Eckhart for everything

    I wouldn't approach your self and finding happiness from the position or belief that you have a "broken part" in you. That won't be helpful i don't think. Life/ evolution works on the very principle of variation on a theme and diversity. With us humans and our consciousness there is even greater variety. I encourage you to practice loving kindness I your self and move towards assuming that you are rare, and precious. Enjoy!

    I liked how he said at the end that you probably wouldn't be here if you hadn't felt like an outsider for so many years. Because that is very true and it makes you think that everything leads to making certain decisions to feel a certain way. And maybe that means you're not so lost on your life path, which is kinda of a relief haha.

I lost my wife 2 years ago due to the pandemic and I was about giving up, knowing God has brought me this far was for a purpose and I kept on looking on to him. My destiny helper was sent to me the year my wife died. The moment I was about giving up, I was introduced to a business by a man I met in a seminar I went to in Florida. This was not my first time hearing of such business but I took the risk Investin 1000 USD and it was worth it feedback@markhanfarmer.

    This was short but so helpful. I’m 41 and have never fit in anywhere (except with my husband), nor have I had many friends (almost none in childhood, and only a handful at a time in adulthood). I’ve lost job after job over 20 years and for mostly unknown reasons. Now I can’t get a job at all no matter what I do, so I’ve been feeling completely outcast and ostracized. It’s probably a good time for me to think about the idea that it’s ok to not fit in anywhere. And that maybe this is by design. Thank you, Eckhart.
