And why after years of sobriety and “working the steps” stopping going to meeting will most likely eventually take you out. The 12 steps aren’t truly leading you back to self, they are pushing you towards a group to connect with.

[@vickyedwards4334]

Hope this makes it clearer: I think what TSwan is saying is that to be authentic, you must accept ALL aspects of yourself - the part you're happy to show and the opposite that you hide. So if you think of yourself as 'an authentic person', then you must be rejecting the part of yourself that is 'inauthentic'. You will feel uncomfortable emotions when in contact with an 'inauthentic person' (and you may label this as 'I don't like them!'). Actually, your emotions are showing you that you need to be comfortable with the 'inauthentic' part of yourself that you hide from yourself.

[@TheArchetypalist]

When that woman said, "people run" ..that resonated so strongly. When you are constantly being told that "you are too intense, you are too complex, you are too THIS or THAT...etc" ...whenever you find the strength to finally open up to someone in all your vulnerability and sensitivity, they leave..simply abandon you, even in very cold ways, insulting you or belittling you, laughing at you... and go to someone who is more "fun" instead all the time ..but they simply neglect to show their vulnerable side and pretend to be fun.. At some point, when it happens again and again, you simply dont wanna open up anymore... I realized that many people dont want someone who is authentic around them, vulnerable and expresses all that..but someone who camouflages it and caters only to their damn needs instead or otherwise they take away their affection again which is a form of emotional blackmail and abuse......i m sick and tired of it.

[@frankbreuer8849]

My answer to your question why people give her a hard time is collective conformism .... people want you to be in the box of a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist etc. Even if you are in such a box, don't dare to step out of it or the forces of conformism will grab you and apply their power. Little procedural fairness.

[@ThePunkasaurusrex]

shes the master of articulating deep insight about emotion and feeling. I always considered those subjects to be untouchable with language, but she breaks down the our internal experience with such precise clarity.

[@EmeraldRubyTea]

Because she is touching the source and truth of each event. She sees it, tastes it, smells it, fully experiences it as much as is possible per event, by allowing it to happen.

The strain brought about by socioeconomic mismanagement, injustice and iniquity overlays massive stressors upon the vast majority of the population, preventing so much progress that could arise naturally if they weren't burdened by scrounging for whatever scraps of wealth are left after the wealthy are done sucking up all the rest. Yes, it helps keep us beasts of burden in our place.

[@LalyPitar]

Probably we work too much time because we are copying social interaction...

[@seguefischlin]

yeah, that's why i went into business for myself, which is its own sacrifice but ultimately resulted in me having more time for people and for my own passion projects. I agree absolutely that we work too much and not always on what's most important. I believe that it is absolutely essential to find your life's work and to do that, no matter how uncomfortable that transition will be. To make social time a priority and to stand by that value in the face of opposition from employers or even from your other selves.

I appreciate Teal so much for speaking about the prison system, the “justice” system.. the people locked up in cages, and everything that comes with it. I’ve noticed you doing this Teal not just in this talk but in your book as well, and your videos. I’m so, so grateful that someone like you speaks up and SEES this massive part of society that people just don’t want to look at, to forget about,, to go on about their day. They are the forgotten.. So much pain lays there and it needs to change. Thank you Teal, you are amazing!

Holy fucking shit. This is one of the greatest videos I have ever seen in my life. The way the Teal Swan describes how shame and loneliness works is second to none, and is so comprehensible. It has taken me years of studying to barely even be able to put this into words like Teal has. Thank you, Teal. Wow.

I love how Teal is so kind and gentle with everyone and doesn’t come off as arrogant and rude like some spiritual teachers. It’s never made sense to me how people like David Hawkins could be so harsh and impatient with people. Teal is a beautiful example of compassion and grace.

[@speshulgay]

I’ve always struggled with being disconnected from the people around me, since I can remember. In recent years I’ve watched your videos and Leo Gura and Abraham Hicks and it’s helped me in some areas of life. But I can’t help but feel disconnection everywhere and see it in people and it just makes me sad. I desperately wish to connect with people but most people are afraid of such a deep connection and they’re self conscious... and they don’t want to deal with their own emotions so it’s very, very difficult to truly connect with anyone. I get discouraged because I already know that despite my best efforts I haven’t had a best friend in years. I have had nothing but failed relationships because I try to connect but the guy I’m with will pull away or they don’t understand or care about these spiritual concepts. It sucks.

[@vanishingstone1637]

At least, you had relationships. And it sounds like you even had friends. So I would like to switch with you anytime.

[@dbianco_official]

You have to understand one thing- people can say No to you and you need to respect that. Learn to respect when people say No and not get it personally. People don’t have to behave like you want them to, you just create connections who is willing and want to connect with you. Why are you trying to push people into relationships or friendship with you if they don’t want. You need to allow space and freedom for people to come to you, instead of you drugging them because you are desperate. When someone is like a light( happy, exciting, loving, interesting, purposeful) - right people are drawn to it, they WANT to be around you.

[@jodisherland5335]

I think most people understand her however there are parts of what's she is saying that are new concepts or 8deas and you may have a learning style that feels like 8f ur not getting everything she says then u may not understand her or believe you don't. You are probably understanding more than ur aware and I think that taking time to note the time on the video u don't understand and rewatch those parts after u watch the full video. Personality types have different learning styles so it may be more than worthwhile finding your personality type and learning preference and try n make ur own curriculum out of her lessons. There may be a whole market that 8snt able to learn from this format for u to be able to help while earning a living. I'm sending u a hug and a smile and 8m very glad u commented. 8 wonder if u struggled with if u should or not. I think everybody will like you just as much as we like Teal :)

Every time I was bringing up my emotions towards my ex actions or tried to understand her emotions she said I'm too complex, I need to lay back, just enjoy life, be happy, don't go too deep, everything is simple. And I always thought that I have a problem, I am a sucker at life, I can't enjoy it. All I was just authentic with her and myself. But now I'm lonely as a stray dog. Idk what is better, being ignorant to everything around or be lonely to the point that I can't see the point to be.

[@bluespiral4678]

I've prided myself on individualism, big time and still do. I just realize that some lessons in life are better understood in solitude on a more introspective level and others are better understood with the company of another or others. In order for me to really live the life I want to live, I must transcend into the domain of learning those lessons that require another. Looking forward to it, but still hesitant lol. I'll make it happen though lol. Bought her new book and am really looking forward to it!

I still haven't shown her the truly vulnerable part that wants to be seen, but I have shown her the scared part that covers the vulnerable part. And she was lovely about it.

I truly am thankful of her. After listening to this video I realised why I categorise myself as an introvert when I enjoy company but hate being around people for long. My rationale was “I get drained”. But why am I getting drained? It is because when I am with people, I hide all those aspects that I disown and only bring out those aspects that are socially acceptable. My complete self is comprised of both aspects (light and dark), if I only choose to show the “light” I will always be sharing half of me… I realised why people misunderstand Teal. Her concepts are DEEP. If people only recognise the surface, they won’t realise the love deep down. They have to go down in the journey with her to see the light❤️

How are you?" and it jolted him out of his retail-induced coma and he looked startled and said, "I'm ok. But I'm glad you said that. I always just say I'm fine even when I'm not," and I replied, "Yeah, it can be hard to be honest." That's it, but it felt like we really saw each other as human beings for a moment. And now I find myself led to this amazing video, which is perfectly on-topic. I'm going to continue being more real. What do I have to lose?

[@expozmeproductphotography3198]

Thank you Teal. This is so profoundly touching me in many levels, I feel grateful to have the privilege of hearing and growing with your guidance. This is life changing stuff.

[@curiouskatsayshello4673]

Started reading my copy last night! So so so ready and willing to become connected to myself and in turn others. Much love to all! Thank you Teal!

[@curiouskatsayshello4673]

Oh yes that’s a very good book too! That’s the first book I have read by Teal. I’m starting to think I need to reread it at a slower pace to fully absorb all the information lol

[@Ivan_1986]

Teal, you are awesome. And I love how your explanations are bridging shamanism and “mainstream psychology” together. Lot’s of insights. It’s a pleasure to share this experience with you.

[@Joythealchemist]

This book shaded my frabric of everything for me . my soul lays of the foundation you built thank you .

[@michaelbrookins6777]

You're making the universe smile!!!!!

[@msvegan8993]

I met you at this event. Your videos changed my lifestyle and meeting you changed my life. Thank you x

[@nikkishaye1156]

What was it like to met her? What did her energy feel like? I have given up attempting to met her and don't have the money to attend a workshop. Can I have a moment vicariously through you.....😉🙏🦄

[@elviragraf7230]

I love you, Teal. Thank you for all that you are doing.

[@nicflorant4633]

I didn’t really understand loneliness until I connected with that woman sitting behind Teal for the entire presentation

[@monicaharrison7795]

I can't stop smiling you look so so beautiful Teal

[@cybrotius]

Silence and Solitude are faithful companions.

[@lindsayleigh984]

You talk about the positive attribute to the energy Vampire archetype. My jaw dropped open! 😱 This is what my higherself and guides were showing me while I was watching The Vampire Diaries. I know that I’m a transmuter. This was amazing and soooo awesomely confirming to hear. Thank you Teal 💗

[@jl9062]

I haven't watched that series, but I do know that it's kinda like a romantic-vampire love thing... sort of like twilight?

[@lindsayleigh984]

It is, that show.

[@nikkishaye1156]

Ive heard here say that before, it definitely rings true, however, I cant understand conceptually. I think because I can't understand what it's like to be an energy vampire. Can you help me understand? (Its gotta be in me, if im so interested, or maybe I want to understand why people do that)

[@lindsayleigh984]

Nikki Wolf 5555 (I love the numbers!) An Energy Vampire in the shadow is someone you feel very drained around. Their energy is very much, “it’s all about me and you really don’t matter. Let’s talk about me some more”. And when they leave you feel like you need a long nap. It’s all take and no give. A lot of empaths have energy Vampires in their lives to help them set boundaries.

[@animallover5626]

I think I’m going to need to look up what you’re talking about, I’m fairly new to Teal Swan videos, I have watched most of TVD though. Are you talking about how the vampires turn off their humanity?

[@Inspiredfitness2012]

All women are beautiful, really. Teal found her mind and is that beauty men and women idolize. Don’t idolize Teal, just find that beauty in you, enjoy you and then share with the world as Teal has done. 🙏

[@BuddyLeroyBoerkoel]

You explain very well why the issue of loneliness and experiencing authentic connection is so important.

[@danilabezmenov3489]

For those of you interested in some more info Teal Swan basically explains the way modern psychotherapy works, Schema Therapy and Internal Family System approaches in particular. The easy book to read on the topic is Self-Therapy: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Wholeness and Healing Your Inner Child by Jay Earley.

[@ShadeCandle]

It's great hearing this from a spiritual perspective. I'm reading a book on Gestalt Therapy right now, which says all the exact same things, except from a more clinical perspective. Glad the message is getting out! It validates a lot of beliefs I've held for years, and gives me hope for the future - at least a bit.

[@Rosesforyournoses]

Sylvain Todd can you tell us the name of the book? I’m interested in reading it. Thanks

[@Brubarov]

She just talked about everything I've been doing this past years and everything I'm realizing these days. We (humans) couldn't be more connected than today. Feel for each other!

[@Emotionalintegrationpractioner]

Love the realizations she is giving us . I want to take her course, so I can also bring it to others attention and coach .

[@existentialhotdog5380]

I found you after I heard about the documentary a few days ago. I didn’t see the documentary because I understand the nature of editing, but I did watch a few KZbin videos of critics of yours. Then, I wanted to see the Teal Swan herself. I obviously don’t know you, but what you’re saying is resonating with me and I see in the comments how you’ve helped so many. It kinda pisses me off, actually. Regardless of what you get out of it, if you’re helping people to help THEMSELVES, then you get a damn pass. We are all going though this human experience together and nobody is perfect…not even a guru. I mean, what are the critics expecting? Someone without human flaws? Get a grip and get off your soapbox. Keep doing you, Swan. I see you.

[@cainen6355]

Thank you Teal. Now I know I'm on the Right path because I feel like crap more and more with everyday! Actually this is kind of true and I know why I feel crappy and that's the Thing. A few years ago I felt crappy sometimes and didn't at all know where it came from. Now I ironically choose to feel crappy in order to get Closer to the very Things I abandoned a Long time ago.

[@Netzarim007]

This brings deeper meaning to “love thy neighbor as thyself”. It opens up a flourishing understanding of what it truly is to love thyself. I can see how we can’t possibly truly love others until we know/love ourselves. If we can’t fully embrace our dual nature, or every aspect of ourselves (our fragments), the how can we truly ever embrace and love others? We’ve truly lost our connection with ourselves. Thankfully there are a handful Teachers on this earth, in this darkest hour, who are helping us go back to our souls. The broader spiritual community is just as lost as any other, in terms of practical solutions, over flowery rhetoric (not always completely without substance, but sorely lacking in solutions). Bless you, Teal. Sending much love. 🙏🏻🪷🤍🪷🙏🏻

[@maryallisonmusic615]

This was LITERALLY the most powerful video I've ever watched. Thank you teal ♡♡♡

[@SaloniSingh19]

I love this speech with my entire heart

[@Chioma618]

Teal is the best friend I wish I had

[@pcr2088]

Great video. In "other" languages, it is similar to "getting your chakras in alignment especially the throat chakra; meaning speak your truth without filter. Or more simply to live being more aware of your inner dialogue. "Why did I just react that way?" etc I totally agree with Miss Swan but get ready for some to definitely run from your gravitational pull. Here's to a grander golden world!

[@ChyroneMcThunderschlong]

Was lonely, now I'm happy to be alone. Literally, peace on earth.

[@AnnaSoll99]

This was so good, I cried repeatedly while watching
