Here’s my theory. My wife and I love. Absolutely love being alone with one another. We acknowledged from the time we met that we love being together and don’t need the world or society to fulfill, validate or justify our existence. The problem is that we are both tall and very good looking.. Well, she is absolutely beautiful. I am just good looking. We both have (above) genius iq’s and are extremely well versed in academics, art and society. Yes. These are problems when we enjoy being alone. People clamber and claw to be with us. Never ending invitations to do whatever or be wherever. So, you are so right that one must learn to enjoy being with the right people. Politely saying no to people who just want to be with you is difficult. Is this a humble brag. Depends on where you are in life.

Yes, sometimes I have nice conversations with strangers but noone really knows me and values spending time with me on a deeper level. It made me quite sad.

Been like this my whole life and I’m in my mid-50’s now. When I was in my 20’s & 30’s it used to get to me. But now I just enjoy traveling the world, eating out, going to museums, parks, places on my own. You just learn to enjoy being with yourself. You can have as much fun and enjoyment as those families and friend groups are. You just be you and enjoy everything life has to offer.

*“My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.”* ❤ Yes! I'm so grateful I'm an introvert because my super power of *enjoying* being alone helps me be selective about who I choose to share my life with. 🌈😃🤓😻😄💖 I unwittingly allowed a lot of non-reciprocators into my heart before I learned that boundaries are the actions **I** take when my needs are ignored, and that it's OKAY to be the one to leave even long-term relationships. Being willing to confront what I feared it said about me to be the one to leave & to reduce my circle so small has opened up so much peace, healing, and JOY. 🤩 It also made room for more GOOD people to enter my life. Huzzah! 😀

As someone who is basically a hermit, I enjoy being alone more than anything. I love my freedom, I love the peace and quiet and the space that solitude allows me. I've always been this way, even as a little kid. I was happiest when I was walking alone barefoot in the forest, talking to the trees and the animals. When I became a teenager and through my early 20s, I thought something might be wrong with me and so I tried to chase relationships and forced myself to be more social, but always felt so much lonelier in social situations. Getting to really know yourself and understanding what you need is crucial. Be your own best friend. Wishing the best to everyone! 🌲❤️

This truly is beautiful Nathaniel. The key takeaway here that resonated with me a lot was how being alone has helped me be a better person for others, to connect with them, feel present and provide a genuine listening ear that is a rarity in this world. Only from knowing myself, my strengths and faults have I been able to do this. Being content alone is not to be lonely but to be deeply connected with the most important person you could ever know - yourself✨ Thank you for sharing☺️

Pure Gold. I'm probably old enough to be your grandfather. I came upon this essence around 45 years ago. I remember the event; having one of those oddly agitated Saturdays alone in my flat. I was drawn to the bathroom mirror where I looked myself deeply in the eyes unflinchingly. Well, we've all had a moment like that but this was next-level. I made peace with myself, warts and all. My life experience pivoted then, like a galaxy pivoting on its axis. Through your work assembling this piece you've put my experience and certainly that of countless others into an audio and video realm, adding textures and smells and colours. Thank you. You're a prince of a guy.

This message resonate with me so much. I'm personally feeling this fomo sometimes but still I don't want to indulge in poor quality relationship that leave me mostly unsatisfied and empty. Genuine connections are hard to find wether in friendship or romantic relationship. The more I age the more I am at peace with who I am and what I want in life. Not afraid anymore of loneliness and not trying to fill the void with meaningless interactions just for the sake of having people in my life. Nathaniel's self awareness is incredible giving his young age. As much as this is a wonderful thing I'm sure it can feel like a curse sometimes.

really like this new aesthetic! so analog-like and dreamy.. sometimes loneliness simply feels like not having a witness to your moments and experiences.. it's a very amplified feeling after a break up or when a friend moves away. When any experience happens, good or bad, it feels only real when someone else is there to bear witness. I think that's why i'm not too keen on traveling alone, it almost feels like i'm traveling within a vortex or a black hole of anonymity. in a different way, i love being alone in order to have continuous thoughts without interruptions. Aftering coming from a lifetime of overly critical or overbearing family members as housemates, being alone truly feels like the best way to get lost within yourself and breath deeply.

I am just recovering from an intense stress episode that was very difficult for me, and really, it is just beautiful to hear that we are changing creatures, that we can outlive storms no matter how dark or intense they seem, and that we can take baby steps and observe ourselves out of many of the troubling mental states we distract ourselves into.

I've been watching your content for a few years, many topics resonated with me, but this one is truly special. I am also on the path of learning to be truly alone. Not so long ago I moved to Paris for a job, got no friends here, I know almost no one around. And yeah, as a cherry on top of the pie - I don't really speak the language. Sometimes the reality of being alone out here hits me, despite having so many different people surrounding me. Nonetheless, I still see this as an opportunity to get comfortable truly being by myself, so when the time comes, I'll be able to fully enjoy spending time with others as well. Bon courage to anyone who's following a similar path. And thanks for your work, Nathaniel. Keep it up.

Love this! I have always loved being alone, but this year I have really become super content with it. I’ve been living away from my home and family for a few years now, and I always wondered where “home” was for me. I settled on it being wherever I was resting that night/my partner. But in the last few weeks, I have realised that I am my home. It’s such a beautiful feeling ❤ I think one has to go through uncomfortable times, alone, to take full ownership of your own happiness.

This deeply resonated with me.. I've always needed time alone to process how I'm feeling and the why behind my actions. It is absolutely liberating. Staying tapped to our internal compass is key for finding that balance between the messiness of the world outside and our inner anchor. Our inner worlds are diversely rich and beautiful.. I guess the external world and relations we have are just a mere reflection of it. I've read somewhere that people understand things till the level they've met themselves. So,not everyone will reciprocate our depths. But that is just fine..

THANK YOU, Nathaniel very precisely put with your beautiful honesty. I love you & even though alone with my cat most of the time in recent years, I do not feel lonely because of your videos. Nothing is permanent & soon we can all return to socialising properly but perhaps choose healthier alone time 💜

I really needed this video. I just ended a damaging engagement and this resignation with me, wholeheartedly. Being unafraid to be alone can teach you true self-love, peace and boundaries. “My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.”

"...when I am interacting with or reacting to people, there is no space within me to notice or process how I feel. I have to be alone to do that." This is exactly how I've always felt when I am with people. Even during moments when I am genuinely enjoying the company with someone else, I cannot appreciate it fully unless I am on my own and reflecting on the memory. It feels validating to know I am not alone in feeling this way.

I genuinely think learning to be alone and happy by yourself is an essential part of a healthy mind. You need time without external impulses to reflect on yourself, your life, where you are and want to go. You need to be able to be satisfied without depending on external things (i find). I think that learning to be alone is truly the biggest catalyst of honest, critical thought and self-reflection and it helps you fogure out what you want from life and what you truly enjoy. Otherwise you're just keeping the train going withour ever standing still, and then you look back with regret. I think that's what hapoened to a lot of people during the lockdown. They never stood still, and when they did, they realized they didn't like where they were at.
