How to Connect with People When You Feel like an Outsider | Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart admits that before his awakening experience, he often felt as if he was separated from the rest of humanity. However, there are always chances to deeply connect with others, especially when you are in a space with fellow spiritual seekers. He also gives a gentle warning not to become completely wrapped up in this “outsider” identity, as it can lead to the same egoic dysfunction as any mind-made self.

Great video, love Eckhart!. I 'll be 60 yrs old this year, and I still don't fit in, never married, my relationships have never succeeded, but I've always been a happy camper. My sister would always call me an old soul ( even though she was 6 yrs older ), and my mother once asked me why I'm so weird. Since discovering spirituality, I've never been happier. I wish everyone Peace, Love, & tranquility!

[@Olivia-bs5wj]

How do you make a relationship works? I also want one friend, a partner, but everyone leaves me. I want commitment.

[@JDHart]

@@Olivia-bs5wj I understand how you feel and I wish that I had the answer to your question. I can tell you that for me personally, I envisioned my partner in my mind first. I meditated on exactly the kind of person my partner would be in great detail. With much clarity, I spoke the words out load to the universe. I believed and acted as if it had already been accomplished. Before I knew it that person showed up in my life and I knew with great certainty that my affirmation had manifested. I had to become the person that I wanted to attract into my life. The universe responded in kind. We have grown together over the years, always placing our friendship above everything else. We always choose to be happy over being right. I hope that sharing this will help you find your partner, your best friend and your happiness as well.

[@fozzieandflup]

@@Olivia-bs5wj everything starts with a thought. Be positive and don’t let thoughts come from a place of fear, let them come from a place of love. Don’t use words like “want”, think more like “I need commitment” but make that statement with confidence, not in a needy way. Make statements like “I am certain I will find my soul mate!”, and write it down on paper, pin it on your door, manifest it into the physical world. You will find your soulmate and it will be amazing! Take care

[@JDHart]

@@TinybirdPauline We have much in common. You were so correct in being very specific regarding details about your perfect partner. The universe always responds in kind. I am so happy for you and your successful manifestation. I have discovered that it not only works for the perfect partner, it is an immutable law that works for whatever you want to create in your life. You don’t even have to know how it works, only that it works. Thoughts become words, words become action, action becomes habit, habit becomes character, character becomes destiny. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. May life always give back to you as you give to it. ❤️

[@Tererinterin]

Great approach 🤔

[@JB-wy8fc]

Thats easy to say but it gets lonely

[@JakobNoone]

​@@JB-wy8fc I've been trying to spend time with myself so I can know myself - the true self Tolle mentions as the you that exists when you're listening to someone speaking and you're waiting for them to resume their words (so you aren't thinking or interacting, you're just being, which is the true 'you' devoid of external noise). Knowing that true 'me' means I can better recognize the qualities I see in my true self reflected/exhibited (or not) in others. If I recognize those aspects of me in them, I am not an outsider, and they are just a stranger as yet unknown. If I don't recognize any of the aspects of the true me in others I try to honor them as being sugar while I'm salt, so to speak, and the two don't need to cohabitate if they just don't pair well. My point is you - the conscious ego you think you are - can be open to connection with your own true self when you're alone (and thereby not be lonely), because you truly are 'hanging out' with a 'you' that is the realest you, but is also often a stranger to the ego-saturated you). Viewed that way, you aren't really alone. So loneliness can be less a problem despite being physically alone. Recognizing your true, non-ego self's characteristics, you are then in a better place to recognize those qualities in others and therefore again loneliness can be less a problem (or non-existent, even). True loneliness comes from not knowing your true self and from being with others whose selfhood shares little overlap with your true self.

Exactly how I have felt

[@veroniqueverstichelen7371]

I understand.🌌💚

[@oliviajoanlowe]

I always feel like an acquaintance and I've never had close relationships with anyone except maybe a cat. I enjoy my own company more than with other people. People stress me out and I often feel drained after interactions. I love being in nature by myself. I thought that perhaps I may have had a mental disability because of my lack of communication. But it's reassuring to know that its ok.

[@LMB2301]

I once read that introverts find relationships or interactions draining because they give energy to maintain the interaction, whereas extroverts take energy from the interaction. It sounds like you are a strong introvert so you need to be careful who you spend time with. I also find some interactions can be very draining. You may also have autistic or asperger tendancies. I have a family member like that - they don't do well in company. Whatever it is, you must honour the way you feel and not try to fix it. We're not broken, just different!

[@oliviajoanlowe]

@@LMB2301 Thank you. Yes it has crossed my mind that I might be slightly autistic but I don't want to label myself. I remember when I was younger that I loved exploring the neighbourhood on my bicycle or doing adventurous things in the garden. Often, I would decide to do it and then kids my age would want to copy me or join me. But I was happy exploring even if they weren't there. Also, I've never felt the need or wanted to initiate friendships with my peers. And I'm still kind of like that now. There are the odd people who I find interesting but I really struggle to want to keep people around me. I don't know how to explain it really. But I'm realising now that it's ok to be me and to not need to behave how 'normal' people behave.

Often times we thing that the letting go of the ego construct will result in us feeling "disconnected" from Life, or other individuals, when in fact. In my experience, the opposite is the case. The more I let go and give myself permission to be who I really am unconditionally in all moments, the more I feel connected to EVERY single being around me, and the more I heal myself and others in the process. If you step into this space, you can expect to heal multiple generations of repressed desire and connection to who you really truly are. Great video Eckhart. Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day. Much Love. 🙏

It's comforting to know that quite a few people feel like me, like this hehe And it's so tempting to just surrender and accept that I shouldn't be counting on fitting in with the majority of people ever. The desire to be liked by everybody is so strong and egoic attempts to achieve that are quite draining. Might as well just accept the futility and move on.

What is said is so relatable. Reflecting back, childhood was pleasant emotionally, teenage years I was lost, and adult year were lots of manufactured fears. Now, middle age, after years of living life experience and meditation, I'm more relaxed. Life has brought me to a place of ease and complete trust, that I never experience before.

Eckhart gives that woman so much common sense compassion. She was genuine, beautiful, and we all relate to her.

All my friends that radically accept me are older. The younger generations don't respect individuality so much. The young demand conformity.

[@anniemccowan9902]

I disagree!! I have many younger friends who are more accepting of who I am them my peers are. People who demand conformity can be any age and at any stage of their journey.

[@JohnDoe-xj1pf]

All generations conform but as a gen z I don’t really like how my classmates enjoy messy hair, baggy clothes, expensive wear, zodiac signs, etc. On the other hand though, the older generations don’t like homosexuals and new music. Most of my friends are older though

[@denisen.893]

6:32 that's true. I'm hesitant to consider me an outsider because my ego would respond to it as being above everyone else. It is important for me to always stay humble.

Good afternoon master Eckhart and everyone.

You're not the only one!

[@ElizabethHaynesTX]

This was short but so helpful. I’m 41 and have never fit in anywhere (except with my husband), nor have I had many friends (almost none in childhood, and only a handful at a time in adulthood). I’ve lost job after job over 20 years and for mostly unknown reasons. Now I can’t get a job at all no matter what I do, so I’ve been feeling completely outcast and ostracized. It’s probably a good time for me to think about the idea that it’s ok to not fit in anywhere. And that maybe this is by design. Thank you, Eckhart.

[@bensanterre9478]

"You probably would not be here if you had not felt like an outsider for many years" That's great. I hope she finds her people, or finds the joy in being alone. I'm surprised Eckhart didn't talk about the the ego identifying as "outsider" and the way we are often influenced to feel that is a bad thing; I'm glad he pointed out that it is not.

[@Attila1025]

I have always felt the same, but now i know that its not a fault. Don't be afraid to be yourself.

I really needed to see this video today. Thank you. Sometimes for me it's hard to feel so isolated. As humans we need sometimes someone who understands... Thank you all 🙏🤍

Your an inspiration to me i truly love you an all you do God bless

[@cjtoler9726]

I, too, understand her completely!

[@Parkitloveit]

Thank you for being you and being here and now. 🙏 Whenever I watch you, also when I don’t watch you, it seems a part of you is always with me. I’ve also always been an outsider, with weird ideas and weird behavior, so I learned to be happy without the connection to other people, which is amazing. But sometimes I wish I could be a part of a community of like minded people. That’s why I’m very grateful for your videos. Seeing the people you talk to and laughing warm-heartedly with you all is always a wonderful moment. Thank you 😊

Yo también sentí lo mismo, siempre lo he sentido, y creo que la experiencia de el humano es la más hermosa y la más difícil. Gracias .

[@8randomprettysecret8]

I feel seen and acknowledged! Relate to feeling like an outsider.

[@donnawoodward3163]

That was very sweet from both of them. It was nice to see that connection. Also to hear how I have experienced my life journey through their words. We are not alone just scattered across the planet. Coming together in such a gathering would offer possibilities to make friendships via the Internet.

[@alexandrawagner6330]

[@saferspaces]

I instantly felt connected with this beautiful woman the moment I saw her. I wish with all my heart she feels those connections around her. I have felt and still am in that state of kind of isolation.

[@alexandrawagner6330]

[@suzieque4222]

oh my goodness I have always felt very alone and like what am I doing on this planet ? I so feel like I do not belong here ... how this so makes me feel a sense of belonging after you spoke .. thank you for your honesty :-)

[@owengreene382]

Growing up, I never connected with my 6 brothers, doe I love them very much. But I aways like a stranger who just joined their company. I moved to the other side of Ireland, where I bought a small farm raising cattle and sheep. I like my quiet life and wouldn'thave it any other way. I travel into town once a week, get what I need, and return home. Being on my own, I never felt alone.

[@raymondtendau2749]

Some of us just don't fit in.I have learned to embrace my weirdness.🙏🏾

What a beautiful offering! Thank you!

[@richardfredlund3802]

If she lives in Innsbruck she should definitely go watch the climbing competitions, bouldering and lead. I have only watched on youtube but the crowds, and atmosphere really does look amazing.

[@jeanieking3606]

Yesss, I find that if I can attend a scared ceremony to reconnect with self & self love, I get rejuvenating energy to proceed into creating my beautiful unconditional loving new earth. I cherish my scared energetic spirit family. many more are awakening and are even more curious about my growth on this path...grateful heart. The loneliness comes in from time to time, I just go inward to restore my energy. Thank you Eckhart!

[@dulceclassica7139]

Thank you so much, Mr. Toole.

[@marall1973]

I totally understand and identify with thr feelings.

[@michaelthompson6080]

Everything that I have worked hard for is paying off. Rest and rejuvenation are still productive. I have the time, space, and opportunity to celebrate my accomplishments and I deserve to enjoy this present moment.
