I started to take care of my health(inside and outside). Stay away from all the people who made me feel like shit(including my family), and stronger my own company.

I’ve went through this evolution last year. I’ve watched all my friends and family that I knew and love die, betray me, try to use me, and walk away from me. I was alone. And it was the hardest time to be so for me, mentally. But I knew deep down I needed to do it. I needed to confront myself. The things I buried. All the shame, guilt and what I thought were failures throughout my life. It was hell. 8 months of isolation. Pain. Doubt. Anger. Anguish. But I came out the other side, and I knew myself again. I’m still alone now. I’ve met some acquaintances here and there. But man, it’s been incredibly hard to just build the first few steps. I hope those acquaintances can become friends. But I can’t help and think it’ll just be routine. Come and go. Maybe it’s just my particular circumstance, but I’ve vastly underestimated how hard it is to build bonds as a adult now. Being alone can truly ensure you face yourself. But isolating yourself too much, can lead to mental roadblocks you place on yourself. Without any second opinions to check you and give you perspective, you tend to believe any negativity that creeps into your mind. And it breaks you down bit by bit. Until you don’t know you can do what you wanted to do or be who you remember you were anymore. Keep an eye out for people who will care. Because when you’ve lost everyone. The people who care are priceless.

Being alone is better than being around people and still feeling lonely.. and if you have a relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord and savior you are truly never alone. The relationship I have with Jesus is priceless.🙏🏽😇🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Ari-k9y]

you give me hope and make me feel sane. i pray that god will keep you safe and happy you deserve the world, truly.

[@Ftloko]

bro, the timing of this is just insane, my girlfriend just broke with me for some toxic shit, so this just hits really hard in my heart

[@The1-i6s]

Pick your head up young fella. This is nothing to be sad or down about. You have found the very key to your happiness and peace. ❤ Edit: this kid has found what it took me 35 years to gain. Spiritual enlightenment and maturity. 💪🏿

[@JosephRaporute]

Thank you man. I needed to hear this. You never realize how many transactional relationships you have till you step back and realize you're the one giving everything (emotionally, etc) only to receive so little. I think a lot of people let the fear of being alone stop them from having that moment of solitude where they can really understand their own needs and issues. It's okay to take time to yourself.

[@user-hx4yz8vy7y]

That's why I only do things and try to chase my goals in silence, I don't tell my friends specifics. I utilize friendships when its beneficial to me, if its not beneficial I am fine with letting them go at this point.

[@itekkai]

Being alone has always made me realise a lot about the people around me. But I have a side of me that I struggle with where I hate letting people down and if I walk away it feels like I failed them. But its part of life where we try and better ourselves. Your video helped me put some things into better perspective so for that, thank you.

[@Edaaa12-u8p]

Ngl i like being alone now since i realised the people i've mostly been around with constantly keep asking for shit non stop bro and they ask for help and then when i ask for help or when i wanna borrow something they disappear so now i mostly cut off and try to focus on myself

[@PVNKBLISS]

One of the most painful things in this life is to continue putting yourself in situations or around people who consistently belittle and hurt you, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes too much. The presence of being alone is a battle at first but it’s so peaceful and rewarding to yourself in the end.

[@equaniman647]

I did stop watering the dead plants recently, and it's been hard to accept that they're indeed dead and there's no plants around me no more. Even when they were around, it was still the same.

[@jameswilson1522]

Incredible.Thank you , legion of men for suggesting this channel !

[@cxssetteman182]

This is by far his realest video. Calling out some of your viewers for how they treat your content is important. It doesn't come from a place of resentment, but from a place of love. A good friend can still care about you, while simultaneously making you understand the consequence of your actions. They discipline you cause they care about you. This is why I never questioned your irregular upload schedules and unexpected breaks. I know that feel. You're doing a great work with these videos. They help out people like me connect with things that we find relatable. People who bother you for not uploading are missing the point entirely. These videos are not for them to handheld you like a baby. These videos are more about igniting a flame in your heart and make you ponder how each one of them are the way they are. Become Seekers, not Consumers.

[@roosaenglund5322]

Listening to this makes me feel so calm…like a therapy. You tell us it’s okay this is life you’re not the only one experiencing these things. People can treat you good and bad…it’s life.

[@Sikada12]

Being alone is like a love and hate relationship. Being alone is peaceful and fun, but it can also be exhausting and depressing, however, it’s worth it when you know how to work with it. That means learning to love being by yourself, but also learning to enjoy going out to be social by meeting new people without the need to look for friendships or relationships. When we become/feel alone we become desperate for connections and attention. This leads to people ending up in toxic relationships or friendships most of the time. We are social creatures, we crave social connections, but we also crave alone time. Setting boundaries are a great way to see whether someone is a true friend/partner or a bad toxic friend/partner. If people cannot respect your boundaries then they are not worth any of your time. Being alone is a great way of getting to know yourself, it’s a great way to figure out what you want out of life, what you don’t want out of life, what people you’d want let into your life, what people you don’t want to let into your life…

I was just thinking I’ve got nobody to talk sense into me and then this came up 😊

[@lilsammyg]

not even three min in and this is so real

[@kadelrohdri7898]

When i put this to practice i realize almost all my friends are genuine, I'm a lucky man.

[@salty_trtle6898]

thank you, shimon. the girl that’s in my profile picture just ended the relationship her and i had, and it left me broken. i’ve bounced around from friend group to friend group throughout high school, and i cry because i feel as though i’m trying to fit in. i need to find a rock. i need to find someone who loves me and someone i can lean on. they will come. but for now, all i can do is be there for myself. shimon you’ve opened my eyes and sealed the gash in my heart. i’m going to become a greater person than who i am now, and you have my word for it. i found you only days ago, but i love you shimon. you’re the beacon of hope that is filling the void of emptiness in my life. i owe everything to you

[@crashoutfrmla]

You don't owe anyone anything, YOU did that yourself just by accepting the wise words that Shimon shares with us and yourself. Proud of you.

[@salty_trtle6898]

@@crashoutfrmla thank you bro🙏🙏🙏my life is going in a downward spiral rn, as i’ve had family problems and stress from school going on before that, and i literally put my dog down two days ago. her dumping me was the best thing that could ever happen because without that, i’d be an emotional wreck right now. i’m in control of my own feelings and i’m proud of where i’m going to go in life

[@NozibusisoNtshangase-t9r]

sometimes you really are alone even when you're surrounded by people, having to put everyone before yourself becomes your demise.

[@issacsven3709]

What bothers me the most is that the majority of people don't really want advice or suggestions. You'll hear a friend talking about a issue or something new they want to do but then when you share what they might like or what you personally like to do they reject it. Everybody already knows what they really want to do. It make me honestly contemplate the point of even entertaining friendship at times if you cant share who you are. Imagine being a billionaire with knowledge of how to improve everyone's life for the better but then when you find out public opinions turns out they don't like your ideas and methods. They say they prefer to rather grow at their own pace but wouldn't mind certain gifts from you. It would eventually make you shutdown and isolate yourself but maybe that's what we all need to do so that we become closer the God.

[@HypeXoticWorldWide]

You preached on this one bro .. thank you man … keep going 💪🏾💯

[@trevordavidjones]

It’s not, you have to find like-minded people

[@AskShimon]

starts with finding yourself

[@trevordavidjones]

@@AskShimonThis is actually very true

[@elevince]

you find yourself by creating yourself, i believe its alright to be alone. it gives you a motive to be able to focus on yourself and better yourself. though you aren't wrong about finding like-minded people, there will be those who go and those who stay

[@planettobi]

I've been on the journey to finding myself recently. And I have actually stumbled upon a few amazing people and those friendships are only starting so I'm excited for that. I still have a lot to work on but hopefully me and my new friends grow and learn together

[@tobubiify]

When you find yourself you'll befriend yourself, when you befriend yourself you'll want to show yourself more to the world, and people like you will notices you and you'll finally find other people that could actually befriend you like you befriend yourself
