The Loner's Path | Philosophy for Non-Conformists

The path of nonconformity is alluring to those who don’t seek to follow the herd known as a society. Instead, they want to make unique individual choices in life, disregarding other people’s opinions and defying society’s norms. And in doing so, they follow their inner compass, their own definitions of right and wrong, and ideas of what’s desirable and undesirable. However, such a way of life could evoke resistance from one’s surroundings and lead one to become a social outcast or get in trouble with the law. This video explores the loner's path (philosophy for non-conformists).

It saddens me that few people seem to have taken much away from that experience and just wish to return to 'normal'...

    Yeah, tell me about....the problem as I see it is that people these days are utterly incapable of empathy. And I mean real empathy. Yes, the sight of an animal being hurt before them would probably make them feel bad for a few minutes but that's not real empathy. They just felt bad because it happened before them. They wouldn't lose their sleep over it. I do lose my sleep when I know that someone/some animal needs me or that I can disappoint them in any way. Naturally, emapthy is much more than just concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. It means actively trying and being able to imagine yourself in their place. And that's the biggest obstacle it seems. Nobody's trying. What's worse, that seems to exacerbate with age.

    I don't find solitude to be all that great. Today, everyone is celebrating solitude it like it's some higher plane of existence. It's in our music and culture. These are the messages I hear and am sick of hearing... 'Thank You Next', 'Love Yourself', "be your own best friend', etc, etc. We now even seem to admonish people who say that they want things like a lover, friends, family as if they are not healthy as another who is happy to live in solitary confinement. As a person who has been living a solitary life for a lot of years, I am okay with being the outlier that says that life is better when you connect to a simpatico companion than it is being your own companion in solitude. Honestly, I’m sick of being alone all the damn time and yet I'm also not interested in being what anyone else says I must be in order to not be alone. I find this state more of one that is a constant challenge than one that is some utopia to strive for.

    That's so spot on. They say that when a person is all on their own, they begin to realise things about themselves that they wouldn't have noticed if they were around others. Solitude can bring true clarity and mindfulness 👍 But that's why a lot of people don't like to be on their own, it's like they're afraid of what they might discover, and maybe they wouldn't be able to deal with it. But they won't know until they try 😜

Just remember that people k!ll themselves every single day because of loneliness and lack of validation from other people. Most people completely break under the pressure of loneliness. If you're ever feeling down about being a loner just think about how strong you are to be able to do something the vast majority of this species cannot even think of!

    I agree with this. I started feeling happy in my own company when I stayed all alone and couldn't run away from the internal conflicts, until they were resolved just by me putting up with the inner battle and participating in it actively. That communication was crucial to my demons leaving me alone. I use the help of philosophy and meditation to work through my pain, and I use nice distractions (humor, art, friends) to rest from that inner battle. Our biggest problem, in my opinion, is our unresolved relationship with death.

    Being alone and feeling lonely are very different states of being. I've gone my own way and feel much better than when I was following the "herd's" path. Although, there is a sense of loneliness that seems to becoming more intense. Every choice has a price. Going with the herd has more comfort, going your own way has more sense of purpose. I guess the real question is how to find like minded individuals? In my day to day interactions, it seems extremely improbable.

    Many people are in a relationship because they were led to believe that is the only way to live a happy life. Only to find out later that being in a relationship was never what they wanted. This is a very personal preference, one which you must carefully decide for yourself. Solitude can be beautiful, but it can also be destructive, same applies to being in a relationship. It's important to know that your path to happiness depends entirely on you, not on what others tell you will make you happy.

    The hardest part about being like this is how much it hurts others. It isn't done intentionally but sometimes people truly enjoy being in your company and miss you when you are away. They also can't comprehend wanting to be like that and think all these negative things about you. I like being alone but I also hate making people sad or making them feel like you don't care about them.

    I have that problem, too. I love people, but also love being alone sometimes. And I hate the misunderstandings caused by when I need to be alone, because I know I'll want to be with these people again later, just not always now. I hate when it feels like my own interests and those of others are at odds. I can be driven to counterproductive extremes like self-destructive people pleasing, and resentful toxicity, because of these conflicts. I'm kind of a loner who wants to represent his own ideas and values, but part of the joy of that value is contributing it to and sharing it with other people, especially when these are niche values which conformity cannot offer! Learning to be patient with myself and with others has been helping. As has learning to communicate better and healthily enforce boundaries. Some of us aren't taught that growing up, but you can still learn for yourself. There will be suffering, but the suffering would not be possible if there were not better things to pursue, things you care about and know you can achieve! So keep your course in life.

I would be lying if I said It didn't bother me a little, they don't care about my interests or passions and generally cannot understand them at all. But I'm going to keep going my own way regardless . They see me as a bizarre eccentric and I see them as judgemental sheep. I love them to death. Truly. But I'd rather BE dead than live life the way they do. Even if I end up destitute, I don't mind, I've been destitute before and I was fine. And I will be fine in the future.

I knew better and used my discretion to keep me on the right path. But then I decided I wanted to start a company. A record label, where I’d be a leader. So I tried being the way I normally am (judgmental) and it didn’t work. I never made friends for long, had trouble networking and couldn’t wrap my head around the collaborative process. Despite being amazing at my craft and impressing people, it was impossible to build a team with all my internalized reservations. So I thought back to my childhood and realized that part of my personality had served its purpose and I needed to dial it back. I wasn’t surrounded by stupidity anymore, I was around masters and partners who I wanted to learn from, and I couldn’t let my defensiveness kill my dream. So I gave in a little, and then a little more. Until I could finally harmonize with personalities that completely contradicted my own and we could be productive together. But I still use my strong judgment to keep me out of trouble sometimes. You learn to use an emotion in an extreme way first, then dial it back as you become familiar with its use cases

It's not about smoking crack, drinking till you're rendered unconsious, or beating the crap out of anyone that crosses your path. It's all about being an individual and refusing to follow a crowd that forces you to think the same way they do, even if it means becoming an outcast to society.

After accepting this and of course realising that being so low didn’t kill you, you can lift your heart and mind and begin to look up to the light. If you have nothing and can find peace and happiness, then all that comes after will be enlightening and positive. We don’t need any ‘thing ‘to make us happy, because happiness is a state of mind..

    When I was 13 (now 45 years ago) I had an adolescent crisis (too much to go into here), but the result was I stopped caring about what others thought of me, and I resolved to live as I wanted regardless of what anyone else said. And I was so much happier! Very unusual in the adolescent milieu, that I became impervious to conformity and peer pressure. I have done a lot since then, but that time remains a pivotal and defining moment of my life.

    I had the great fortune to join a Scottish pipe band at 16 and a political party at 14; this at a time where there was very little to do in my area. It put me in the company of interesting people and I went to many interesting events; it also made my peers and other family members jealous. At the time I subconsciously felt it but luckily disregarded them and continued my own path and made more interesting friends than I would otherwise have been exposed to.

    All of my life I was just a side character in someone else story. I always ran after people, relationships. I never had a long term girlfriend and I'm 27 years old. I don't have friends at the moment and if I'm honest throughout my life, I had to adapt myself so much to others to not be alone which led me to suffering most of the time. Adaptation is being able to adjust yourself so you can have normal conversations with people however it will never reward you with their friendship (mostly because it's faked). As It turns out, most adults (30+ and above) like me quite a lot and people under (25 - ) don't like me that much or are rather indifferent towards me. I try so hard to have friends and a girl and that is why I always failed. It shouldn't be forced, it shouldn't be hard. If you go search for people out of fear, you won't find your tribe in this world. Yes ! We have to go against conformity. You can't fight you own nature and NO, you shouldn't adapt to society standards, you shouldn't suppress your needs and your morals for a love interest or anyone at all. I believe in better times ahead because I'm now working on myself. I just wish the pain of loneliness to not be so hard to endure (I have suicidal thoughts for 2 months now).

    Please concentrate on learning to understand and support yourself. It is nice to have friends but only if they are real and do not expect you to compromise your values to fit theirs. One can feel lonelier in a crowd than by oneself. Never give up yourself to fit others, it won't work or give any satisfaction. At 27 you are still very young! I am 66 lol. One or a handful of real friends who accept and like you as you are is vastly superior to a ton of acquaintances. Find out who you are and be that, without compromise. You may find real friends by volunteering for a charity you vibe with, at least you will have something in common and it may help with self worth, if that is an issue. Be kind to yourself, as well as others.

    What is your definition of good? You don't believe in God, and have presumably created your own moral standard, or do you follow the moral standard of another human being? And if you do follow another human being's definition of good, why follow that particular human above all others? (Nietzsche created his own moral standard, and you can read all about his sad final years online.) Whatever a person values most in their life becomes their own personal god, whether it be themselves, another person, a hobby, etc. Everyone has a god. Whatever you desire the most and spend the most time fulfilling that desire, behold, that is your god. Jesus was a nonconformist. he spoke of the evils of society, and made many uncomfortable. Society hated Jesus so much that they put Him to death. His Resurrection still divides and infuriates people to this day. Most of today's conformist society reject Jesus, and only a few nonconformists accept Him. No Jesus, No good. Know Jesus, Know good.

    I've kinda just accepted the fact that life has chosen me to be a loner. I wouldn't consider myself to be a complete loner, I do enjoy having friends (when I'm not being utterly ignored.) I feel every time I make friends I get excluded from everything, it doesn't matter who my friends are. Throughout kindergarten to grade 3-ish, I had many friends and talked to everyone. I had a specific friend group in grade 3 in which I'd been with for a while, they started ignoring me following bullying and I've despised them since. I moved to a new house in time for grade 4 and once again, had no problem making "friends" except this time if I spoke, I'd get talked over. I'd walk around with them and if I stood still, they'd continue walking and forget I was even there to begin with. Certain people I avoid and fear to speak to even if I hadn't seen the way they talk to others before, get all panicky, and become speechless. This stuff has happened for years now and I've only had 1 person I still consider as an actual friend. They've moved pretty far recently so atm, I'm only abled to speak to them online. For now I stay distant and hyper focus on goals of mine, that's all I care about and I wont let my sad "friendships" to get in the way, Afterall, I much prefer to really be alone then to be alone aside others.

    I was forced into being a non-conformist due to my mental disorders and neurodivergent mental landscape. For the past 23 years I've seen myself as someone who's cursed to be different and alone for my entire life. Now I understand the pressures of others demanding my conformity to be the true poison that I'm overcoming with every passing day. And I grow stronger and more interesting than the conformists will ever be. And as such, I now see my trials as a blessing of enlightenment, and am going for treatments not to erase my nonconformity, but rather to gain the tools to conform with the world in my own nonconformist way. And break away from the disorders I was MEANT to overcome.

When everyone around you is married and has kids/pets you naturally can't connect with them on the same level. I'd much rather have one or two really good friends then a group of people that leads to sameness.

Some even saw me weird, when I ate palm dates, though they ate sugary food with high-fructose corn syrup (or something with refined sugars). It's like healthiness in lots of ways seems to be unhealthy and wrong, which is ridiculous. I remember how I looked bad, when I said that I don't drink to someone.

When I do go out the number one thing I hear people complain about is that no matter what they talk about I already know more about it than them.

    Being alone is not a choice . You cannot receive instructions in this . You are born as you are , puzzled as to how others lead their lives but knowing that their way is not yours . Suffering from that aggression " Do you think that you are better than us " from an early age did not deter me from my confusion . I only knew that I did not want to tread their path . Now , in my old age , I am content that I can see things more clearly but am still surprised by people who do not . Thank you Einzelganger for this missive .

    I became vegan in 2020 as a last ditch effort to stop cancer from destroying my liver. Not only did the cancer symptoms disappear after six weeks, athlete's foot is no longer an issue, my arteries cleared up, I no longer suffer heartburn, indigestion, the occasional headache... nothing bothers me anymore. Although nobody says anything to my face, I know people think I'm a freak just like I thought of vegans before. I was 52 and wouldn't have lived to age 53 had I not tried this, and there was never a chance I would have gone vegan without my life in jeopardy since I was fooled into thinking we are omnivores all my life. I learned so much in 2020 that I never wanted to believe. Industries thrive from us eating what causes diseases and they spend huge to keep us from knowing. It's not just the providers of the "food," medical, pharma, and med schools depend on it.

    When a person stops living by the virtues of truth he becomes dependent on other people and even if deep down he knows he is not right for abandoning truthfulness , he is also to afraid to change his life, and with fear people's abilities atrophy and become weak, and this is how they become sheep.
