A lack of friends indicates that a person has many... | Stoic Philosophy

[@benjamintickle1476]

I always thought my family would be there for me, my best friends would be family. But my family was the first to leave my side. God blessed me with two beautiful children and ill always be a part of their lives. Life is a wicked twisted road.

[@Rave_PLUR_Queen]

Same here! My family left my side and have chosen to quit talking to me or my kids. Even though my dad is their brother....my 3 sons my sweethearts are all I need...well first God of course. ❤❤❤

[@Leannot35]

​@@Rave_PLUR_QueenI wish I knew what my family was going to do the waited for my son to get older they have filled his mind I didn't see it coming it was years of phoniness I should have moved away and not been so close near family less anyway I'll always love them but it hurts, be careful who you ever accept help from in the past they may stored up for vengeance and wait till your old one day so don't be too too close to some

[@TheStoicBeacon-TGG]

Life sometimes brings unexpected challenges, but you stay strong and find light in your two children. Family is truly the people who always accompany and love you, no matter how difficult the road. You are doing a great job, and that is very appreciated! ❤✨

[@SanaStoic]

@@benjamintickle1476 That sounds like a deeply personal and challenging experience. It can be incredibly painful when the people we expect to support us don’t come through. It’s inspiring to hear that you find strength and purpose in your children. They can be a source of joy and motivation, even amidst life's twists and turns. Your resilience speaks volumes, and it’s a reminder that family can also be defined by the bonds we create ourselves. Thank you for sharing your journey!

"You have power over your mind-not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." - Marcus Aurelius

[@SanaStoic]

@@StoicRealms That's a profound quote! It emphasizes the importance of inner strength and how our mindset shapes our experiences. By focusing on our thoughts and reactions rather than external circumstances, we can cultivate resilience and peace. It’s a powerful reminder to take control of our own perspectives! What do you think about this idea?

[@Cameron-qm6yp]

I dont needs friends, they dissapoint me.

[@Rave_PLUR_Queen]

😢 I agree. Sad but true. Good friends are hard to find these days.

[@ThornsOfOurTime]

so make new friends and disappoint them

[@SanaStoic]

@@Cameron-qm6yp I understand where you’re coming from. It can be really disappointing when friendships don't meet our expectations. Sometimes, focusing on your own interests and happiness can be more fulfilling. It’s okay to prioritize your own well-being!

[@ДаДа-п8о]

Friendships start , grow , mature and sometimes die , same like any relationship and that is totally normal , Therefore choose the healthy one and leave behind the toxic one ,

[@SanaStoic]

@@ДаДа-п8о That’s so true! Friendships, like any relationship, can change over time. It’s important to choose healthy ones and let go of toxic ones. Thanks for sharing this! How do you usually spot those good friendships?

[@ДаДа-п8о]

@SanaStoic people with self respect , honestly and authenticity ( someone who did the inner work ) are what I look for. So rare to find though, in this era of showing off and competing. Also, I think the world is going individual and lonely unless you have a family you are 80% at risk of ending up alone I am not saying that is a bad thing but for some it might be.anyway Yourself is your best friend. That is the work we all need to do sooner or later ( to befriend ourselves).

[@CeliaLaluyan]

I dont have friends and im happy.

[@SanaStoic]

@@CeliaLaluyan That's a powerful statement! It’s great to hear that you’ve found happiness without the need for friends. Happiness can come from within and can be nurtured through self-acceptance and personal interests. Everyone’s journey is unique, and for some, solitude can be a source of peace and contentment. Thank you for sharing your experience-it’s a reminder that fulfillment doesn’t always have to come from social connections. If you’d like to share more about what brings you joy, I’d love to hear it!

Not everyone can handle your energy. Stoicism teaches that the lack of friends often reflects a powerful individual path.

[@SanaStoic]

@@onestoicusa That's such an insightful comment! It’s true that not everyone can handle the energy of someone who is on a powerful personal journey. Stoicism teaches us that sometimes, a lack of friendships can reflect our unique path and the depth of our individual growth. Embracing our own journey, even when it feels lonely, can lead to self-discovery and strength. Thank you for sharing this perspective! It really adds to the conversation about the nature of friendships and personal development. I’d love to hear more of your thoughts on this!

[@VCBeatsNTV]

You cant have a social life and an opinion of your own 💯

[@SanaStoic]

@@VCBeatsNTV That's an interesting point! Balancing a social life with your own opinions can definitely be challenging. Sometimes, it feels like you have to compromise your views to fit in, which can lead to feeling misunderstood or isolated. It's important to stay true to yourself, even if it means not always aligning with the crowd. Your individuality is valuable, and cultivating genuine connections often requires being authentic. Thank you for sharing this perspective-it's a thought-provoking addition to the discussion! What’s your take on finding that balance?

[@Denise-ix3gv]

enrichment

[@SanaStoic]

@@Denise-ix3gv Thank you for your comment! I'm glad to see that the concept of "enrichment" resonated with you. It’s a key theme in understanding how meaningful relationships and self-reflection can enhance our lives. Your insights are always welcome!

[@Rave_PLUR_Queen]

Im prettt much alone...all I have is God, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and my 3 wonderful sons 2 daughter in laws and one beautiful 10 month old grandson ❤❤❤❤

[@SanaStoic]

@@Rave_PLUR_Queen Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your beautiful perspective! It’s wonderful to hear that you find strength and companionship in your faith and family. Having a supportive relationship with God and loved ones can be incredibly fulfilling, even during times of solitude. Your bond with your sons, daughters-in-law, and grandson sounds truly special and provides a strong foundation. If you feel comfortable, I'd love to hear more about how your faith and family play a role in your life!

[@binkleyrules]

Quality friends, not quantity.

[@SanaStoic]

@@binkleyrules Absolutely! I couldn’t agree more with your point about valuing quality over quantity in friendships. As discussed in my video, Stoic philosophy emphasizes the importance of deep, meaningful connections rather than a large circle of acquaintances. True friendships are built on mutual support, shared values, and understanding, which can significantly enrich our lives. It's these quality relationships that foster personal growth and happiness. Thank you for highlighting such an important aspect of friendship!

[@richardbaer711]

I don't have any real friends and I'm happy most of the time but I do get lonely sometimes

[@SanaStoic]

@@richardbaer711 It’s completely normal to feel lonely at times, even when you’re generally happy. Happiness can coexist with moments of solitude. Finding fulfillment in your own company is valuable, but it's also okay to seek connections when you need them. Embracing those feelings can help you understand what you truly want in friendships. If you ever want to explore ways to connect with others or just talk about it, I'm here for you!

[@duke6606]

I don't like it now. Because I don't have any friend

[@SanaStoic]

@@duke6606 I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's tough to feel alone, and it's important to acknowledge those feelings. My video aimed to explore the idea that solitude can also be an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. Building friendships can take time, and it often helps to engage in activities or communities that align with your interests. Remember, many people feel the same way at different points in their lives, and it's okay to seek support. If you're comfortable, consider reaching out to others through hobbies or local events, as those can be great ways to connect with like-minded individuals. Thank you for sharing your feelings-your honesty is valued, and I hope you find meaningful connections in the future!

People who a high negative frequency about Themselves. Lack understanding or common sense. Putting emotional damage ahead of sound thinking reasoning. A Lack of experience to face adversity or challenges Or Just complaining to get Your point across. Is just Counterproductive, and Being one sided. Granted It does take two to tango when things go wrong, But it also takes two to tango to make it work, It’s like putting one dead Battery in a flash light and Active life battery in same Flashlight, You light becomes dim, or not bright And reflects in your attitude or demeanor

[@size12usaboot40]

sometimes people with high negative frequency about themselves have been through so much crazy shit and in fact not lacking understanding or common sense but very intelligent. Just so broken down they dont care about anything. They actually dont complain or see the point in 'getting a point across', because they dont care about points. But there still loved friends. And once i fix myself and make myself stronger i can help them better.

[@size12usaboot40]

Sometimes dancing with flashlights doesnt really make since

[@SanaStoic]

@@SimonDeVos-w1g Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You raise some important points about the impact of our mindset and experiences on our relationships and overall well-being. In my video, I explored how Stoic philosophy encourages us to focus on self-awareness and personal growth, which can help us navigate challenges and adversity more effectively. You're right that a negative mindset can be counterproductive, and it’s crucial to approach situations with sound reasoning and understanding. The analogy of the flashlight with one dead battery is a powerful reminder of how our attitudes can affect our interactions with others. It highlights the importance of surrounding ourselves with positive influences and being mindful of our own energy and mindset. Thank you for contributing to this discussion! Your perspective adds depth to the conversation about how we can work towards healthier relationships and a more balanced outlook on life.

How you compare having friends = non virtuous smh…. Having real life friends trumps having internet friends who aren’t actually friends at all. Ppl make videos trying to justify your loneliness because you cant make friends in the real world. Heres are make friends in the community of your hobbies and interest, set boundaries for your buddies and respect theirs, call every once in a while share info, when a event pops up wallah you got a drinking buddy to watch your back and a wingman to attract the ladies

[@ioodyssey3740]

Thanks for the laugh! How wise to hang out in bars looking for loose wymyn.

[@adaptreform692]

🐢…I just gave a scenario on how to make a friend an a activity you may can embark on, 🐢 you don’t necessarily half to go to a bar whatever event centered around your hobbies. I know you rode the short 🚌 to school 🏫 with the ⛑️ helmet smh

[@StoicTMH]

@@adaptreform692 Honestly, your comment touches on an important issue. Sometimes, we may easily forget that true friendship is about genuine connection, beyond just interacting online. Building friendships in real life helps establish meaningful relationships where we can rely on each other when it counts. Finding friends who share the same interests, who respect and support one another, is priceless. Thank you for reminding us of the deeper meaning of true friendship!

[@SanaStoic]

@@adaptreform692 Thank you for your comment! I understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate your emphasis on the value of real-life friendships. It's true that having close friends in your community can provide support, camaraderie, and shared experiences that are incredibly enriching. My video aimed to highlight a different perspective, inspired by Stoic philosophy, which values the quality of friendships over the quantity. While real-life friends are important, Stoicism also teaches us that solitude can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-reflection. It’s not about justifying loneliness but recognizing that being alone can help us understand ourselves better and ultimately improve our relationships. That said, I completely agree that engaging with hobbies and interests is a fantastic way to meet like-minded individuals and foster meaningful connections. Setting boundaries and valuing mutual respect in friendships is vital for building strong relationships. Thank you for sharing your insights-it's a valuable part of this discussion!
