I actually admitted to my adult son the other day I just wanted the world to go away and that I wanted to move and live in a field in the middle of nowhere. I haven’t watched news or read papers for years. It affected me so badly. I don’t watch tv shows. I realised that all my angst in life was caused by other people. I told everyone I was switching my phone off for two weeks. I needed to step back. Everyone panicked and wanted to know what was wrong. There was nothing in particular wrong. I just wanted my space to be unaffected by other people.

[@livelikeliz]

I completely get that! Especially the phone topic is such an important one - even 20 years ago when the Internet was already around, we could still go offline. There is no such thing as offline anymore now, everything keeps flooding in 24/7, be it news or messages. It can easily become overwhelming. Thanks for sharing your story ❤️

My great grandmother lived to be 107 (her mother lived to 105 despite being blind since 40) and died a peaceful death. When she was in her 80s and I was about 6yrs old, I asked her what was the secret to long life and she told me not to watch the news or dramatic soap operas. She lived a very slow and stress free life, despite life stresses happening to her and around her. She also ate home cooked meals, had a strong faith and got plenty of sleep and rest. She was an amazing and strong part of our family, she and her wisdom are greatly missed. Great video, thanks for bringing awareness to this!

[@livelikeliz]

Wow, thank you for sharing her story! ❤️ I believe there is a lot of truth in what she said. This sounds like your great grandmother lived such a fulfilled life!

[@martindurkin8837]

She must have been a remarkable lady. You were very blessed!

[@denisea.9033]

@@livelikeliz no problem! She really did live a very full life, she was very even keeled and happy through everything. Every Sunday, her house would be full all day with all the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren trickling in and out for a visit because of how she made everyone feel warm, safe and loved.

[@denisea.9033]

@@martindurkin8837 she really was remarkable, my favorite person to date. I am very blessed to have gotten to know her and have her in my childhood. Thanks for your comment!

[@jonimorton333]

I have this feeling every day, it doesn’t go away. I want peace and love in my life, I don’t need or want the worlds problems. Thanks for sharing a nice cozy video. ❤

[@TheMeanArena]

Turn off the TV, get rid of social media, etc. They are a cancer on society!

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ So glad to find some kindred spirits here!

[@donnarakitzis2719]

I love protecting myself in my own little world. I am a person that can be affected by high anxiety. Sometimes the chaos of the world and drama of other people are just too much for me.

[@livelikeliz]

Good to hear you understand what I mean! Thank you so much for stopping by 🥰

[@shirlee-sw]

We have felt this way for the past 2-3 years now. We both drive into the city for work that is customer service oriented and cannot wait to come back to our rural home. It’s getting more and more difficult to leave home and go off to work. On weekends and days off we do not want to leave the sanctuary of our home or socialize very much with others as we deal with people so much in our jobs. Home is our haven where we are free to do and be as we are there is no place on earth id rather be than home with husband and dogs surrounded by wildlife and nature. Thank you for having the authenticity to ponder I just want the world to leave me alone.

[@livelikeliz]

Thanks for sharing your story! 100% understand what you mean! ❤️ I very rarely go to the city but whenever I do I am instantly reminded why I don't live there 🙈

[@christinam.3410]

This video looks like it has been pulled from my heart. In a world that wants to shove so much drama down our throats, be it social media, the news, awful happenings around the world, absurd politics regarding whatever new nonsense has been poisoning people as of late.... it's just too much to bear. Negativity all over. Discontent all over. Pain all over. No. I just can't anymore.

[@livelikeliz]

I'm so sorry to hear you feel this way but so glad to learn we are not alone feeling this way. I'm surprised how many people replied here who can relate. ❤️ Thanks for stopping by!

[@davidprice1356]

Although I don't want it to be, my desire to watch the news each day is almost matter of survival. The U.S.A. is going through quite an upheaval politically and socially.. As a child of the 60's, I feel like I must pay attention to what is happening, no matter how I dislike the news. I am a person who loves my privacy, but at some point one has to get involved. All we can do is keep trying to make this a better world and teach our children it doesn't have to be this way. After a couple thousands years of "civilization" you would think we would have gotten it right by now.

[@livelikeliz]

Very good point about teaching our children - I do have a lot of hope for the upcoming generations actually. They often seem so much more aware of what's going wrong at a much younger age and seem to be ready to act instead of just talk. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! ❤️

[@martindurkin8837]

"It becomes a problem for those of us who care a lot". I feel the same. I have lost people close to me as a result of their constant talk of politics for example. I will scan my local news but that is all I do. I would add that all I want is a simple job and someone to love.

[@livelikeliz]

I totally understand - it can feel so much better to live in a smaller, simpler world that isn't so overwhelming. ❤️

[@martindurkin8837]

I amended my comment as you can see. I never should have made my troubles public. It's a shame that money is so important. Very much looking forward to your next post.@@livelikeliz

[@leighrinker]

I actually have been experiencing this lately. I stopped looking at the news and listening to things that did not involve my core interests. I've been doing so much better since doing this and have been culling more over time. I think it's incredibly healthy.

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you for sharing this! ❤️ Yeah, I think for many it's a more recent phenomenon. I'm happy to hear you found a way to not let too much negativity into your life!

There is nothing wrong with you Liz ❤ i feel and have the same 🎉

[@livelikeliz]

I'm really glad to hear you can relate! ❤️

[@jeremytorgersen]

Great video, very relatable! I definitely resonate with this message of wanting the world to leave me alone and let me be the majority of the time. Slow and simple living is where I prefer to spend the majority of my time.

[@livelikeliz]

100% agree! Glad to hear the video resonates with you! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@frutina1000]

A beautiful expression that focuses to the core of our purpose. Caught up in a material World of power and greed. When we realise our bodies are just like a space suit whilst our souls are to explore and enjoy the beauty of nature of our universe in a short journey of time then and only then can we truly find our purpose and reason to be . We come to this universe with nothing but to witness the beauty of nature and leave inspired helping others that follow to do the same. Respect your right to exist respect t everyone else’s right to exist and more importantly respect the earth we tread . Lovely video truly connected with it. Thank you for sharing

[@Jenn_Garrison0505]

I understand the feeling

[@livelikeliz]

So glad to hear I'm not the only one who feels that way ❤️

[@morganleighcallison]

liz, i feel this a lot, especially these recent days. it’s a very important message to share…i think there is a lot of overwhelm recently we need all the reminders to still do our best to enjoy life amidst all the chaos that exists.

[@sueflay79]

The day-to-day often feels like a fight between my small self vs. all these economic and political forces that I can’t change. It’s draining, and I don’t know how to outwit it.

[@livelikeliz]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Your words describe that feeling I mean really well! ❤️

[@XeniaSketchbookPages]

I have days when I put my phone off and concentrating on the creativity, walking, reading... Our generation is overfilled with information - news, educational opportunities etc. All of this make me feel that I have to know more. So I need some moments of calm. It helps me to recharge.

[@livelikeliz]

I couldn't agree more! Turning our phones off for a while can be such a relief from the constant flood of info. Thanks for stopping by again ❤️

[@purplemaiden4283]

I relate a lot to what you’re saying. Sometimes I feel like I’m strange because I feel like I want the world to leave me alone but I also want to feel not alone and connected and part of a group somehow. It’s a difficult balance it seems.

[@livelikeliz]

I completely get what you mean - of course we wouldn't want to be lonely. Of course we want friends, family, loved ones around while at the same time we want the world at large to leave us alone. It can be pretty difficult. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@hippyelise1]

Yes, I have had this feeling too. Thanks for a beautiful video. Love the lake, so clean. ❤️

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you so much! It's good to find people who know the feeling. The lake is indeed very beautiful - its chemical composition makes the water so clear. 😊

[@helenroberts1107]

I’ve felt that a few times. Sometimes things just get overwhelming and I just want to shut the world out. My father watches the news a few times a day which I never understand. I purposely avoid the news. I think you need to do what is right for you on that day. Some days are fine and I can handle anything. Other days I just need to concentrate on me and how I’m feeling. It’s not selfish. It’s perfectly fine to self care. You can’t be there for others unless you’re well enough. ❤

[@livelikeliz]

Very well said, I 100% agree! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@livelikeliz]

[@apsaraa8209]

Very well said Liz. If more people would just till their fields, it would be a much softer world. I have always hated the news and grew up in a family that if the news wasn't the big topic of conversation and teaching ....nothing was. I wish the world would just leave me alone, often, and I certainly don't apologize. It's just too much. We all hear about it all over and over again. I say, I'll know if it changes, but until then I don't want to hear. That salad looked delicious, made me hungry, lol.

[@livelikeliz]

I completely get it, totally understand the overwhelm you feel. ❤️ The salad was indeed very delicious, all the fresh fruit was perfect on that hot day 😁

[@margaretquinn5335]

[@trsg]

You are not the only one for sure. A lot of times I have this feeling and I am trying to be in my own little world. As you said it's not about we don't care of others or what is happening around us ( some may think that we are cold persons 🙃) but we do this because this give us good feelings and makes us feel safe. Thank you for sharing with us your deep thoughts and experiences and how this made you to change your way of thinking/living, this help us also to know you a little better! 😉❤🌻 Next time when you visit the forest again don't forget to close your backpack because I think you don't want some elves to steal your stuff! 😅

[@livelikeliz]

Really glad to hear you can relate! ❤️ Haha, oh so that's why half of my stuff was missing - it was stolen by elves! Try and report that to police 😂😂😂

[@robertlafollette2236]

I'm going to be 78 in a few days and the world sure has changed, I think it is out to control the small person. We are just doings not human beings. Just do what we say that's all you need to do.❤🙏

Hi Liz I think because of the overload off information we can receive in only a short amount of time and what's happening all around the world it's good too take a break of all what is happening. Point is you have no solution to everything. So what I do is take a stap back and make a choice off how many information ℹ want too receive. And without being selfish let go off things that i can not change. It gives me peace of mind . Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. 💟🌷🇾🇪

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you so much, Rita! ❤️ You phrased it perfectly - letting go of things we cannot change is probably the healthiest way to deal with this overwhelm. 💕

There are days when I want to take a break from human civilization, but never do I want the world to leave me alone... rather I want the world to soothe me with the rustle of leaves on the wind with rain on the rooftop and the songs of birds as they fly by me.

[@livelikeliz]

That is a very beautiful way of describing it - it probably even describes better what I meant! ❤️🌻

[@irmabronder]

Love God and you will get the understanding how this world works. How you see the world, is an interpretation of your own mind. Everyone sees the world through their own eyes. The world is created by God. He does everything in this world. But by thinking that you and me do everything, you put the law of cause and effect in action. When you know God, the law of cause and effect is experienced differently. You will understand God and see the world through the eyes of God and not through your egoistic eyes. So the wish to be left alone is easy. Just have no interest in the world. Only in God. And your world will change. There is an even deeper understanding, but you will find that out as God guides everyone differently as everyone has different interest and desires that makes them love the world and not God. So when you start loving God only, He gives you what you need to let go of you loving this world. God is great.❤

[@Rita-cm7zc]

Yes God is good and his plan's are perfect.
