I hope by now you are no longer depressed. I am currently going through just what you were feeling. It's terrible I feel alone even when I'm with the people closest to me and i don't know what to do. I just got a car for my 16th birthday, and I thought that would help but now it feels like the only time people want me around is to drive them places. But the second after I drive them somewhere it feels like they stop caring about me. I dont even know what I want anymore. It just feels like the harder I try to make myself happy the more lonely I feel, and less happy. I dont want to tell my parents or go see a therapist cause I feel like people will judge me, or tell me that I'm wrong for feeling the way I do. Being depressed has such a negative stigma so I try to avoid it, and I act as happy as possible but it just feels fake. I dont feel like I'm being genuine with my self or others. If you have any tips that helped you get over it or deal with it I'd be glad to hear.

That's loneliness, which is differs from being alone. Being alone is an act of agency and autonomy. You can have relationships but don't need them to feel good about yourself. If you really want to reconnect with people, it's best that you that you reconnect with who you are. What things you like doing, eating, drinking, what make you laugh, what gives you joy. Then go out and do those things. The energy you'll give off will be more attractive. Don't take things personally.

Balance is everything. We strive for wholesomeness. There will be times that you may find yourself alone and you'll have to make it by yourself. There will be times when you need people around and they won't be there not because they don't want to but because you've isolated yourself and decided to prove that you can do fine all by yourself and you made people believe that you don't need anyone... even though sometimes you may actually want someone around... Connections are great.. Being comfortable with your solitude is also great... Both are necessary in life

I can totally understand what you're saying. I'm from the USA, but of East Indian ethnicity. Indian culture treats women very poorly and has halted their progression for centuries. I do agree that in the past women were conditioned to only have a homemaker role, but today it's very different. I'd say those old gender roles were done away for at least 20 years now. Women get paid the same, and actually have a lot more rights than males today. Just look at sexual harassment cases/domestic abuse/sexual abuse/divorce... Men have far less rights in these areas. However, I'm very glad to see strong independent women making a life for themselves; but I also see a lot of overcompensation/false feminism/man hating from women -particularity millennial women, but crazy millennials are a whole different issue in their own. I just felt the lady in this video was tooting her own horn too proudly when what she went through was just a rough break up... I showed my mother this video and she laughed at this entitled white woman and said she never seen real suffering. My mother also said only spoke of first world problems and that far worse things can happen to a woman than being left at the alter. I see a lot of this "the world should cheer for me" attitude from a lot of white women, particularly in the Silicon Valley area where I live in CA. I mainly feel this is becasue white women, like white males generally have it a lot easier than people/women from other cultures; and so when they encounter any minor hardship that most women from another country/culture would find trivial, they're very quick to throw a parade for themselves. Like you so eloquently said, women from other cultures have had a rough time breaking the mold. My grandmother had to deal with war/civil unrest/genocide/famine/domestic imprisonment during the partition times in India; being left at the alter would've been the easiest thing to deal with for her. This is TED talk so I think only people who very extreme/unique stories should be called to get up on that stage, and for me this lady really had nothing spectacular to say; and this talk just felt more like reaching for attention and that she still didn't really learn much from what she went through. From what you wrote, you sound like a very sweet, wonderful and intelligent woman... I think you'd be better suited to go on that stage and talk over this lady. Being alone is not easy for anyone, whether woman or man... No woman "needs" a man, and no woman is less than any man. I wish you all the best and thanks for sharing your viewpoint.

Hello, this is remarkable and refreshing to hear thank you so much! I'm so glad you bounced back Ms. Teresa I can relate to your story.

Holy shit. This made me realize that I have been living my life on neutral.

I have no problem with it just being my dog and I. She’s my best friend. I talk to her and let her know how much I love her….she’s well loved. I will always have a dog that’s my one and only friend/best friend. I guess I’m considered an introvert/extrovert. I have no problem talking to people…I just don’t want to make any friends. I love my time with just my dog and I. I’m very independent. The downside of not having friends is that if I ended up in the hospital or something where I wasn’t able to take care of my dog I don’t know who would. It couldn’t be just anyone so that is my fear. I love being single and alone. I can do whatever I want anytime whenever however…. I talk to myself and my dog all the time. When I’m at work and I’m thinking out loud, I really have to watch what I say

There are places on earth where its worst to be a woman. Once you meet them kind, you will feel sorry for them. You will cry with them as they say how lucky you are being careless and free. I am thankful that I wasn't born that way. Freedom is everything. Being alone sometimes will take you to a place where not everyone have been. Cheers to #strongwomen

Being alone is not so much a problem as long as one has friends and family or even coworkers to give support. But it is tough without a support network; think of tom hanks’ character in castaway. It’s not that one can’t survive, it’s more that having people in your life can enrich your life.

Career in the service industry working with many other human beings every day helps me understand the value of being alone, which I think is really just a state of mind anyway. Most of my free time is spent with myself, doing whatever I want and whenever I want to.

I do it all most all the time, and I really enjoy it.

you are so strong & great and what a good advice. thanks for sharing your experience

It's the space between the notes that makes the music.

I actually enjoy being alone because I never have to worry about relying or worrying about anyone else wirh me. It gives me time to be at peace and have self love. But part of me is still afraid. That no one will love me if I am alone. And I also wish that I had the courage and confidence to stand alone and tell others there is nothing wrong with it.

This is scattered. Are we talking about being alone or going on a vacation alone?

She used that as her own personal example to show the importance of being alone. Traveling was the platform she used to express this in her talk. Can you not connect the dots? Much like mythology uses stories to express the deeper meaning of how life events effect us on a soul level.

Galaxy’s Animations Yes! Thank you so much for saying that. I wish that everyone with negative thoughts would keep them to themselves. Spread positivity not negativity.

I appreciate the general sentiment of this so much, but the precedent of throwing out inpatient paperwork and flying halfway around the world isn't a one-size-fits-all policy - it's pretty dangerous. I'm so glad it worked out for her!

Yeah. Ted talks only apply to the able-bodied who are struggling with mental issues. Nothing can help a person not feel lonely if they aren't physically able to get around and if no one has time for them.

She is awesome.. it's TRUE when our mood is off and still if someone compliments us we forget that sadness for a while.. Be kind and understandable.. spread happiness u will love urself.. beleive me

I'm willing to take on this journey to be single and take care of myself. It's a journey no human being can run away from

This is not about owning alone. It's about traveling alone. Unless you're privileged it's not realistic to "travel the world" as a means of therapy. Also she said this happened in the 80's but she referenced a book by Elckhart Tolle which was written in 1997 as if she had read it back then. ????

I got that traveling made her feel she was in the now. A concept she had discovered for herself before the book was written.

Beautiful and meaningful. Deep and expansive

Lovely talk . inspiring. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

This made me cry. Thank you. 👍

I'm so glad you conquer that hurt in your life. You have made me stronger today. Thank you.

I am going to trust the universe to take care of my wellbeing

I'm 38, and until I was 35 I'd always in one relationship or another, with never more than a 3 or 4 month break. The last 3 years of my life, the last 3 FREE years of my life, had been the best, most progressive, most accomplished, most enjoyable.. I honestly never want to be in a relationship again. I just can't see it. Never ever live your life for someone, because you'll end up without a life of your own.

You are a great teacher! I love your examples

Not "every" girl. I never wanted the white wedding.

This whole talk is actually problematic from a “white” narrative standpoint, unfortunately.

I went on my 1st loaner trip and surfed in California. Turned out to be awesome! My best memories were when I was single. I was single twice for 10 years total. Turned out those times were the best times of my life!

Not going to lie, I mastered this at an early age due to being an only child. However I have a friend who could really hear this right now. Great advice, spoken with true wisdom. Thank you!

Mav Mav my thinking exactly 😂

I've been alone all my life. being alone not only within romantic relationships, but also platonic. I hid within groups of friends to hide my loneliness throughout elementary, high school, and now university. I live on my own with a roommate, but the emptiness within me continues to push me further away from making any connections with people.
