how to spend time alone + enjoy your own company ♡

[@ManicMaidenASMR]

as someone with acute social anxiety I always feel the need for someone I know to be with me at all times. I can’t go outside to run errands or do stuff without someone with me or else I feel like my chest is going to explode. I’m trying to learn to do stuff on my own and travel by myself and this video really helps me 💕💕

[@genflower138]

I can totally relate with you. I want to be more independent and learn to do things on my own.

[@Anxiouscustomer]

I feel like what has helped me the most is forcing myself to go to places by myself even if they make me anxious!! As much as it sucks lol

[@oliviaamg]

Okay Okay 👌🏻👌🏻 what you want want for for

[@oliviaamg]

Okay 👌🏻 I’ll be back at the gym later tonight so so we should have fun 🤩 I hope 🤞 enjoy 😊😊

[@shrutivarad9864]

societal standards ARE a scam!!! also can’t emphasize how refreshing it is to watch someone like you just live for yourself/not trying to conform to imaginary standards. keep doing you girl!!!

[@hv97]

this!!! I adore being by myself and in fact, I couldn't stand it being any other way. My social battery isn't really durable so I get tired when I'm with people very easily. Let us normalize and CELEBRATE being, thriving and loving being alone!

[@lorimoss410]

You are such an awesome spirit! Very positive vibes too!!! I totally agree with you, social settings really drain me as well.

[@justyourlocalrat_]

Finding a balance between alone time and friendships is honestly really difficult, so it's really nice to hear someone else talk about their experience with that. Also as a long time journaler and someone who's just getting back into reading this year, I'm super interested in more journaling and reading specific content if that's something you'd want to make. I just love the way you talk about the things that matter to you.

[@amityfranks5862]

I love how introspective yet self compassionate you are. You know yourself but don't judge yourself.

[@basicallyreese]

thank you for recognizing, it took a long time to get this way because i used to be very hard and judgmental on myself

[@amityfranks5862]

@@basicallyreese me too :) that's why I noticed it 💚

[@veex220]

I really think balance is key. After 2+ years of social distancing and lockdowns in between, I feel like I totally lost my ability to enjoy parties or even smaller group meetings. I've always been an introverted person, but now I really struggle with going out and enjoying it when there are a lot of people! But I guess at least I really love my company now and I am never bored, so it can't be that bad. Sending lots of love across the ocean! and your hair looks amazing x

[@laurengriffin3255]

I felt this video in my soul as a fellow hyper-independent, formerly very socially anxious single girlie. Also your hair looks amazing!!

[@aimeejane_writings]

This video again came to me through divine timing. I normally love my own company but I’ve been feeling more lonely recently. So, thank you for this video, Reese! 💗🦋

[@emilyjohnston7862]

can i just say you are GLOWING in this vid Reese you look lovely

[@jelizabeth3672]

I live on my own in NYC and love my own company!! what I'm struggling with in dating is most of these men are not giving me experiences that are better than those I have on my own. like, if going out to dinner with you is not nearly as fun as I would have by myself in my apartment or in the city exploring, it's just not gonna work lmao. which is to say I relate :)

[@basicallyreese]

exactly!!!

[@celina9667]

came in just the right time for me, i didn't know i needed to hear this. thank you

[@ZohraMaura]

your ted talk was so good and highly resonated. thank you! ❤️

[@keyanamiller]

As another introvert that lives in Philly, I understand having your walk days where you go to center city and explore on your own! There’s always something interesting happening. Also- love the hair!

[@dianemayberry1291]

I love the easy going casual vibe in your videos. Ya, it's so nice just hangin out and chillin. No drama or stress. Lovin it!

[@authenticallyadhd]

Relate to this SO much. I loveeeeee being alone. It is really good for my mental health to push myself to be social, but not as much as most people and I also need rest time between social sessions.

[@akbdisnetz6fs]

just celebrated my 20th birthday because of you!! thank you for helping me find myself and navigate through depression all these years when it felt impossible and overlooked on social media :,) love you always queen!

[@basicallyreese]

🥹🤍 stop i’m going to cry, HAPPY BIRTHDAY🥳

[@autievibes]

When you said they let children in stores, why can’t I bring my dog - I felt that in my soul. ❤

[@evelynprieto88]

I am trying my best to enjoy my own company cause I delt with always being a follower to at least one person that was my friend throughout all my years in school. Having to be an adult now will be a difficult transition cause now I’m left with my thoughts, which doesn’t help since I also deal with severe depression. Thank you Reese 💗

[@paradoxxed1760]

I love you bestie. you're so much like me... watching you is like watching my ideal productive self, that's why I re-watch some of your videos on lazy days. everything about you is so realistic, the way you feel, the way you live. Keep it up girl! I look forward to your uploads

[@Werns_]

That Red hair REALLY suits you! Love it! Love you! Love doing things alone!

[@vivkonsh]

zoye playing w her new toys is just the most precious & genuine thing i saw in a day

[@aliciashoberg9236]

Just wanted to pop in and say I didn't have a partner until my early-mid 20s and that was partly due to a ton of social/romantic anxiety in high school and college, but also because I was really focused on creating great friendships (and my academics). I was able to travel to Ireland to study abroad my senior year and I feel like I really grew so much and finally realized that the whole time I really had been ok being alone and just focusing on myself and my friends. I just so happened to find my first partner shortly after I got back, but I knew I would've been totally fine on my own and really in the best place I'd probably ever been. Anyway after that oversharing, just wanted to say I appreciate your sharing and comments about being alone and not feeling the need to have a partner. If you ever doubt that, I back you up 110% that being by yourself is awesome and amazing and you don't need a partner to complete you; trust me, that just brings a whole other world of issues/feelings/situations. Neither is better or worse, just different. There will always be good and bad in any situation and it's great that you're able to appreciate the good that you have in your current situation. Love your videos and can't wait to see your Ireland content!!

[@Angie-qm3ul]

Sis you’re so pretty! The red hair fits you so well! And I really enjoyed you singing while cleaning! Lysm and keep going~🌱

[@laurendavis3333]

Something I recently learned about dogs that made me feel so much better: when you leave the house and they give you "that look," its actually them telling you that they trust that you'll come back! The sad reaction is actually one of trust and love!!

[@pomme0472]

your videos are so calming, I am a real introvert myself and it feels good to see a youtuber just talking about not having many friends, not having or wanting a romantic relationship, loving spending time with oneself because it is my life as well and it's difficult to find those kind of personnality in medias, film or social media. so yeah, it just makes me happy to watch your video, I feel more valid 💕

[@basicallyreese]

you are always valid🤍

[@kitsurubami]

you are such a different person than me. It was fun to get a glimpse of what it would be like to be a very different person.

[@sh0efridge]

Ugh I love your videos so much! I’m also someone who has always been super independent, but lately I’ve found that I’ve been isolating myself from my friends too much and it’s been taking a toll on my mental health. This video was super helpful so thank you ❤️

[@kathryn1011]

LOVING the red hair! 💖

[@marykeating3767]

Reese! watching your videos is helping me thru an extremely transformative and healing time in my life and I resonate with so much of the stuff you talk about. i also adore how beautiful your videos always are, thanks girl have a good day

[@riverlynn1358]

i swear this video was perfect timing

[@Chy-vs7en]

Well for those who think being alone as enjoying your own company is easy !! No that's a big no ... But however I really appreciate this girl ...whoz so positive to herself that she talks to us via a youtube and not in person !! ( So that's not an easy task ) there will be times where we as people would give good and bad opinions or any comments which might disturb her or anyone leading this life ...to come to this stage ...first and foremost we should always have this mental peace , calmness, not reacting to all those who hurts ., And most importantly enjoying the moment...so big hatts off to her seeing her so confident and dedicative to " Herself"

[@toshk100]

Just what I needed since I'm also spending majority of my time alone. It's sad sometimes but it's amazing most times.

[@liajordann]

Also digging the new hair !!

[@teya5599]

Idk if it's just me but hearing Reese sing to 1D in the video was so fitting and calming. Like I sing when I'm relaxed and the whole theme of the video is being content and relaxed by yourself so it was nice to see someone do the same habits as I do.... if this doesn't make sense then I'm sorry I'm kinda ranting and over-analyzing but that's okkkk

[@larissa-db6ce]

When you said "im pretty sure she's better behaved than most kids" 💀 i felt that and never subscribed so fast

[@kaylafampp]

this video came at a perfect time for me, I've been struggling lately with spending time alone and enjoying the time I have to myself, I'm an introvert too, and the social battery part is relatable, I've been feeling lonely lately because I do not have a lot of friends, so this video was nice and comforting to watch♡ P.S. I love the red hair!!! I had red hair as well for a bit!

[@itsanuksha2641]

I can relate a lot with you. I’ve always been very independent, struggle with anxiety and depression, and like to spend my time alone. It got really lonely in lockdown, which made me realise the importance of balance; I can’t always be alone, life is better surrounded with friends. It’s been hard to make friends due to Covid and moving to a new country, but I’m still trying to put myself out there. How did you end up meeting your friends?

[@basicallyreese]

i had one friend kinda integrate me into her group and it was actually during covid that we got to get close because everyone was doing online school :-)

[@itsanuksha2641]
