    I am alone, no friends, no partner, nothing . Yet I find joy in my heart by pursuing my passions, I have a job that I love, I have hobbies that I love, I find everything interesting and feel so grateful about the little things in my life. I don't even find time to think about being alone or to pursue connections. Something deep down tells me that I have enough in my life to be happy and don't need nothing more. In the end how you feel is dictated by what you focus on, so go on and focus on beautiful things.

    I love this channel because it causes us to ponder the many wonders of life. To re engage with that childlike wonder you once had, before you became jaded, cynical, and beaten down by the world. Maybe not the world itself, but surely the people within it. We are just as guilty as the rest. I often think back to the little kid that I was. That good little boy wouldn't believe in a million years, what he would turn out to be. That little boy would be ashamed and disappointed. I try to meet with that boy, he's in there somewhere, in the back of my mind, in my heart. He's there, and I want him to be happy, proud, and full of wonder.

    I think that meeting people by chance is the best way to find the best people. if we’re constantly searching for a partner or friendship, we won’t know how to find them. we are capable of loving anyone and everyone because it’s all in our mindset. a love for another person feels more dear when the universe seemingly brought them to you.

    Maybe I'm a dark person, but i find so much beauty in this level of melancholy. I want to feel sadness, I want to feel sorrow. It is a teacher, and a looking glass into what it really means to feel joy. I'm not addicted to sadness, It is in fact the opposite. I seek out joy. At my core I am a happy person, this is why i make myself feel deeply, only to remind myself that happiness is earned. Happiness is a perspective and such i seek to remind myself of what i have.

    The older I get, I come to the realization that alleged friends and family are not to be trusted. It’s terribly weird that after suffering child abuse, pre-school abuse, elementary school abuse, and right up to latent teenage years abuse, that this shit never ceases! Once upon a time, I was told by a counselor that in my family I was considered ‘second best’. She told me to be careful regarding my facies, that when you are treated as ‘second best’ it becomes too easy to appear as second best and others pick up on that, resulting in a never ending cycle of feeling abused and being mistrustful of most everyone. I’m aware of the fact that we as humans are ‘social animals’, but I’m better off spending most of my time alone. I don’t abuse myself and I certainly can trust myself. 🌝

By recognizing and appreciating what kind of people you may have previously sought for a feeling of security. The people you think you need are not necessarily the ones that will be helpful to you, and truly supportive. For example, if a parent of yours was abusive, you may very likely develop a pattern of seeking out partners who are toxic or abusive, thinking that those kind of behaviors are what you must have in life to be love-able. Unlearn or at least observe the destructive beliefs you around love and security. There is no security to be had in this world. You are already secure, you are already loveable.

I feel like this video does that perfectly, it piques my intrest because it was able to show some clarity on some of my own interpretations but to also pull me along through someone elses current theories and beliefs, i felt like he wasnt trying to do anything but convey how he feels about a topic and how it applies to his life, almost like listening to his inner dialogue. i understand that there might be a script behind this video, but then the way this is written is very pleasing and genuine, i appreciate the effort that was put into this and hope to come across alot more of your content!!!

    I don't know how to explain it properly, but I feel like loneliness is the difference between your current social situation, and the one you once had. If it was never great, you wouldn't feel like you're missing out on much. But if you did (which demands a lot of luck) experience true friendship, romantic love and family warmth, then no matter how much you will lie to yourself, you will want that back until time takes the vividness away. I'll conclude by saying that we are social species and there is nothing wrong with feeling lonely, it is an emotion like another, useful sometimes, not so much some other times. Like every feeling, you should analyze it, reflect on it... Never numb yourself, it has never done anyone any good in the long run. I invite you all to respond to my comment and let me know your point of view :)

    About finding yourself feeling impossible: i used to think the same thing. I've always been a very passionate and curious person, but for some reason always struggled with keeping things up and staying motivated. I got burnt out so fast on things i usually love. Then my intense fear of the future started to creep in. I was starting to feel like I'm just chronically depressed and stressed. But what it actually was all this time, was dysphoria, about who i was. Now that I've finally come out as a girl, everything has sorta clicked. My fear for the future is suddenly gone. I'm suddenly a morning bird with an actual routine. And i enjoy stuff I've always loved even more for some reason. I never thought one "small" change could do this much to my mentality and energy levels. So yes, finding yourself really is possible, be it work, passion or Identity

    As a solitary being, I find myself in a state of perpetual solitude. Conversations lasting more than 20 minutes with anyone other than family have eluded me for the past 15 years. Nevertheless, I do not experience any sense of loneliness, as I have grown to cherish my own company and find solace in being alone. Despite societal norms dictating that one should crave human connection, I have come to accept that I am not like most individuals. Through this acceptance, I have found a sense of contentment and happiness. Living in this manner is not for the faint of heart, but rather requires a certain inner strength that most individuals may not possess. For me, the universe itself provides the companionship that others may seek in human interactions, and my loyal canine companion has become a steadfast presence in my life. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such peace in my solitude, and it is something that I reflect on often.

    The human life span, the extent we can participate in infinity, is a long time. When our imaginative modes of our minds enlargen past the moment, or the hour, or the day, there is too much to sink our attention into, so we cannot create new meaning. However, if we can remain humble in the __now__, if we can be patient, we can create infinity, for at every moment we’ll be living a meaningful life. Or something of this flavour. : P I like your mention of “patience” here. One of my favourite insights I came across was from a piano cleaner who wrote about meditation. He said that, when you know what you need to do to learn something or experience something, e.g. an expert golf swing, all you need to do is do it. You know that in 5,000 swings you will gain excellence; so in doing one swing you are doing the best reality can provide. Such is true for revising the ideas in this video, or building a healthy body. The patience from knowing what is the best course of action is so transformative. It defeats worry, procrastination, perfection, inaction, self-doubt, a lack of confidence. Although I’d like to end with “all we need is patience”, to me it is more we need to “find patience”. Patience appears to emerge through understanding, but once we have it, infinity seems manageable.

    I've been through a lot despite being young, and I learned from bitter experiences while I was walking in the cold breeze of an empty world that this is me. This is the real me. I live alone, I think alone. I have my own philosophies, beliefs, ambitions, desires, and goals. I am walking to a path where I will be complete. A path not many would be able to reach because its too painful, lonely, and cold. Before seven years ago when I was still a teenager. I didn't understand what it means to be me. I always lied to other people so I can be accepted. But now I feel even more freer and at peace even when the feeling of sadness crept up to me. I was adapting to this new perspective. A perspective I've denied for so long because I was afraid. I always questioned why no one was there for me when I was suffering so much. They couldn't understand what I was saying or feeling. No matter how many cries of help I said to them they stopped caring. So, I gave up after all those years once I got to the age of 19. This peace and solitude. The feeling of walking alone when no one is there at your back to support you even when a storm hits or a blizzard slowly freezing you. I am the only one that can support myself, because I am the only one who can understand me far better than a world of lies. There is no point in looking back into the past of deceptive moments. Those feelings of happiness were delusions made by people who never cared about me in the first place. It is a give and take relationship, that's all there is to it.

    Inspiring observation of the self, quite the narrative! Perhaps I might add, through the experience I've had; I tried tirelessly to 'find myself' not just externally but internally also. But interestingly, it all seemed to serve no progress but that of understanding some parts of the external universe from that within. To my suspicion, the self could never be found, as the laws of this world will continue to gravitate counter wise. We are ever changing beings whose origin remains to the unknown, we can only understand our behaviors and how we perceive ourselves and others. Being alive momentarily might be found as cheesy buy honestly, it's what has taught me gratitude and forgiveness. Love to all in this space. Thanks for your efforts in putting this together.

    Greatt video, i teared up and im an emotional hermit, thanks for helping me realize i need to get my head out of my butt and live with others. Im 20ish and my life has been a lesson of being independent but I’ve overdone it. I feel lonely and its my own fault, i just have to connect with those around me and not take them for granted. I also have to learn to accept myself before others can accept me, because if i cant accept myself then there isn’t a self for others to connect to. I have pretty bad ocd and it keeps me from living a satisfying and fullfilling life. It feels like im a robot with autopilot scripts and when i get home and take the mask off, i feel hollow and not wanting to be alone, craving a distraction. Becoming myself is the best thing i can do to imorove the relationship i have witn others and overall myself❤
