This video really resonates with me. Growing up Autistic, I feel like I've always been suited for this kind of isolation. Since Covid happened, I have learned more about myself than I ever have in my life, because now I don't have to worry about succumbing to the social pressures outside my house. I have never been happier, or have had more meaning in my life.

For the person who went into solitude and came back to mankind to share what he learned but couldn’t teach anyone, I think I finally understand. I’ve been meeting more people who have been going through “awakenings”. I can’t talk about things like this to someone who watches the Kardashians 24/7, but I can with those who are awakened and/or are awakening. By awakening, I suppose I mean moving towards a higher state of consciousness.

[@CharifRocka]

[@dickrichard626]

You enjoy solitude, because your not really solitary. It's nice to get away from people when it's a constant thing, or you don't really like the people that much. Being solitary is literally never talking to anyone and isolating yourself. You only "enjoy" it as long as you convince yourself that your enjoying it, which is basically a requirement to continue living without loosing your mind, it's not a choice. The reality is that your life becomes "all in your head". You develop social problems. People just cut you off and forget about you. As you get older it becomes more and more difficult to form close relationships with people simply, because people tend to have less energy to want to be your friend. Attempts to make new friends usually ends badly, because people flake, are not reliable, and sometimes they're just not a good friend to you. Thus the existential crisis occurs of wanting to be alone, because you don't like people, but you don't really want to be alone and so you try to make friends, get burned everytime and then cycle repeats... Sadly this is from personal experience. I'm not as lonely as I was before though now and things have gotten better in some ways, but worse in others.

[@ArchitectureUprisingIndia]

@@dickrichard626 I stopped making friends 6 years ago, it's all now passive, someone wishes to be my friend, they're welcome, someone who wants to avoid me, they're also welcomed, I won't put any effort because I know i will be repeating patterns. It's now so observant from my pov that I am mostly able to identify "patterns in human behaviour" It's like I already know how the person is going to behave in just minutes of me talking to them. I love this but then I hate it too, I am sort of "cursed" (for the lack of a better word) with this information....but I like it....... PS thanks for understanding

Many thoughts and interests that I end up obsessing over in my own time without being able to really share. The ones of us here are outliers really. I think we all have some things and thoughts that make us feel lonely at times and that's probably why it resonates even more with the majority who are here. Ofcourse its part of the human experience but I do find myself thinking how good would life be if I just had regular interests cuh a lot of times I feel like theres 2 mes and the one that goes outside and answers my phone is really only doing it out of love and respect for people who I think deserve it from me.

For the most part, I lead a quiet and introspective life. I have no problems socializing, sometimes I attend events I am invited to, but by and large, I spend most of my time by myself. However, being a solitary person in a city like the one I live in (Barcelona) is complicated, what with the constant tourists and hip young people doing noises all the time. I want to move someplace else quieter and colder, perhaps by the Atlantic. I don’t care about making any new friends or having any relationships anymore. I’m seriously considering moving to a town filled with old people. I already have many of their qualities, and I appreciate the silence and the quiet.

[@c.s.hayden3022]

Solitude is the key if you do it right. There’s a realization when you’re out alone in the expansive silence of a mountain summit that you are never completely alone. Being away from society enables you to takes your mind back and truly connect with what’s around you. You uncenter to recenter. There’s too much in our smart phone culture that pats you on the back and reenforces petty ego attachments. That ultimately weakens people and makes them dependent on a very superficial form of tribal validation that can’t see much further than image. You can be popular or you can be interesting.

[@YaBoy_95]

Damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@edmundtrebus4084]

I've lived in harsh solitude. Now I live what would be described as comfortably with a woman and child. Both situations have pros and cons, and I'm always thinking about the pros I don't have - but self-interest is normal. My heart belongs to my daughter, so I'm happy where I am now. My mind needs solitude most of the time. I just don't connect with anyone around me so I'd rather entertain myself. People seem to thrive on manufactured stress. I don't get it. I could go on on but I'd probably cringe at my own words. It's hard to talk about stuff like this without it being misrepresentated as egocentric.

[@glenbenton4855]

I recently checked out the book “beyond good and evil” and as always growing up alone because I guess I was never popular and weird. Now as I’m older and here I am writing this is very ironic. I was just telling a very kind soul of a girl that likes me, I just told her I can’t control anyone. Anyone should have free will but at the same time I don’t want to be a burden or be under it. Being alone makes everything else so much more beautiful in ways I can’t describe. But it’s like they say in the great gorgoroth,he who sits in the dark is the bringer of light. It’s something that I guess I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but someone has to. It’s something extremely difficult to experience and to want as well. Such is life, I will continue reading the book . It’s crazy how much I’m understanding reading things I feel but cant describe. Also it’s crazy that by us being alone, we rise above our own ability due to the fact or at least in my experience feeding off of those I don’t like and going against what they preach. It’s a beautiful thing

[@SuperSonicFan172]

I unironically identify with this philosophy. I am a lonely person not because society rejects me, but because I choose to be apart from people that wear me down. I feel comfortable being alone with my thoughts and the things I like, instead of forcefully doing things many others do in order to "fit". I tried talking about the things I like, but I have yet to find people that share my views. Therefore, I rather cultivate my soul in peace than to join the spiraling madness that society in general is.

I first was turned on to Nietzsche in 1972 when a friend gave me his book THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA. It would be one of the most influential books I ever read. Over the years of my life it’s funny to see how unknowingly it would have been so much a part of my life. PS: something I find almost comical is there is a relatively new “trend” called Vipassana which people pay a lot of money to go spend 10 days in isolation, in order to to create a paid manufactured group experience of isolation with other paying members who are also in their own isolation. Odd that anyone would pay money to be disconnected and alone for 10 days when you could just stay home and disconnect all your electronic /communication devices. A contrived experience of being alone verses a life experience of solitude is like Tang to real fresh orange juice.

Outstanding revelation of Nietzsche's most innermost philosophy. Thank you for this documentary. I perceive in my heart that this brilliant man could not come to terms with the imbrilliance of others. Yet his escape into solitude and isolation was only temporarily beneficial. What he lacked was a true and significant balance between the introvert within and the extrovert without. The man or woman of great intellect must master the ability to accept others just the way they are, and to meet with mindfulness even the stupid and profane, recognizing that all are equals, and that it becomes of necessity to stoop one's own self down in order to lift another one up. I will not say that Nietzsche lacked humility, but it is a virtue all must acquire. The Benedictine Monk Thomas Merton once wrote, "No man is an island." In striving for the Mastery, one must overcome many obstacles.

I personally much prefer solitude, I think I have been like this since I was 13 or so. It was weird, at that point in my life I started realizing that I really didn't enjoy the company of most people, be they friends or stranger and I slowly started to develop interests completely different to that of my closest friends. Eventually, sue to my father being in the military at the time, I had to move out, it was on the same year that my friends started going out and throwing parties, when I came back I realized that any connection I had with them had been cut at that point unfortunately and while I still play with them from time to time, I almost exclusively feel better doing stuff on my own.

I actually feel more than the same. I think I’m I socially insecure, but I feel very comfortable alone. But for some reason (probably instinct) I still want a girlfriend, a bro, a father figure…. but I think that what I really want is someone to connect to. Someone with the same interests. Someone with the same values. Once, I felt home in my own friend group, but now… I still find them funny, nice bois, but we just don’t click anymore. Some of them even share the same interests! I think I found myself a goal in life, so that should keep myself busy for a good few decades.

Very few people can actually speak to me in a way that i am actually engaged. Ive recently found out that i am autistic. Ive had some thoughts of that in the past but never anything concrete. That definitely explains some things. But why do i feel intellectually superior? Constantly! Maybe im just a basket case. Maybe im not meant for society. Or people in general. Massive waves of depression overcome me constantly. And now im wasting my time writing a fucking paragraph for a youtube video. Which no one will probably read. I-do-not-fit-in.

[@kv7905]

You are not alone. I praise you from my own solitude. If i may suggest, try going for a walk, feel the breeze, the rain or the snow on your skin, and breathe. There will come a time where you'll begin to embrace your weirdness and/or uniqueness - that's where you will, truly, be a step closer to freedom. Superiority (hierarchism) is a construct of the same society that oppresses us. Please, find a way, if you can, to not be hateful or judgmental against the masses, because they, at the end of day, are also trying their best to be safe and happy. They are who they are, misguided, but do try to find the best in them. In terms of superiority, people are different, yes, but on a base level we are all the same, sharing the same instincts. Your journey to yourself will be long, windy and treacherous, but with determination, you might, eventually, be greeted by sunshine and mellow winds. Good luck. I am not even halfway into my journey, but i can assure you that it's been worth it so far.

Let's be honest. The people who listen to this today and think they can relate to what Nietzche wrote are involuntarily solitary and we simply try to avoid facing the truth that we don't have enough friends or a good social life. Either we had it in the past, when we were in school and simply do not have it now, or maybe never had it. And I am not referring to anybody who may feel this way who is under the age of 20. People who are still young don't understand what it will be like after you are 30 and especially when you are past age 40.

Voluntary solitude is the key. When we are forced into solitude like we have been since March 2020 that is horrible to one's well being.

[@tommeakin1732]

I despise authoritarianism, and I agree that it's horrible to the average person's wellbeing - but Nietzsche isn't talking to the average person. Though Nietzsche is talking about voluntarily plunging into solitude, I think much, if not all of this still applies for forced solitude as well. The people who have suffered most with lockdowns are those who have fled solitude their whole lives.

as a misanthrope with social anxiety, my autodidactism is greatly aided by my solitude.

As a neuro divergent who is Autistic, and has ADHD who lives in an increasingly toxic society. I highly value my solitude. I have some question me as to why I enjoy to spend time outdoors alone. I just tell them that I enjoy the peace. Truth is that I can be myself without judgment, I can have have time to reflect and recharge, I am not having other's ideology shoved down my throat, I am not being surrounded by consumerism, I am not constantly being told to be someone I am not, and not constantly being indirectly told that I am not good enough because I am not living up to shallow societal standards. When I actually see another person on a hiking trail, granted they are not immediate family, I get instantly disappointed, and want flee off.

Another great video. Nietzsche is a legend in the philosophy world.

[@theodorvonot7550]

Its crazy that this Video came exactly today when suddenly i lost my fear of loosing somebody. Because my litle family my sister and brother and Me came finally together again. In an honest way. Im sooooooo fucking Grateful. Its an amazing feeling i will never forget! The fight seemed unwinnable. But ive noticed that it was close to that but the final price comes at the end it seems ❤

He who tastes de sweetness of solitude is free from fear and free from sin while he drinks das fundamental law of Buddhism: This is because that is; this is not because that is not. This and that: You are in me because I am in you since we are 1! De 1 who knows de 1 becomes de 1. Oneness within oneself brings oneness with das whole universe.

As each of you awaken, in I so do I awaken within myself. Outside of my view, there are others. Who like me, seek the light that glows far away in the dark corner of all space.

8:00 Solitude like marathon run. It's about the low of the thing. And when you connect to the real world after you leave the solitude. You will feel life in a different way.

It's so true everyone that discovers Himself or herself will indeed facing Deep solitude .through that they undoubtedly discover their true purpose In life.then they are forever remembered

[@skandababy]

So true, I once took a dump into my neighbors koi pond, and then proceeded to wipe my ass all over their hamsters... it felt good to share my "inner piece" with them... no consequences, it's all "victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark"

[@HealerWarrior101]

It seems that many of the great thinkers, philosophers, self-introspective people, eventually, went into solitude. You wonder why? They discovered that most of life drama is caused by humans...

[@neggit2063]

2:41 "such kinds of men are we,we free spirits! and perhaps you are something of this yourselves, you who are approaching? you new philosophers?" This passage is frightening to me. As I became, and continue to become more lonely ( in part because I reject society and conformists) the more I get into philosophy. I want to find those "higher men" but I can't. I didn't choose this. I'm in a field that has little to do with it, and still my Professor advised me to consider becoming an academic upon reading my essay on Aesthetics( I wouldn't want to become that). Seeing how Nietzsche and Schopenhauer ended up, sages but alone, makes me very scared that I might meet a similar fate.

[@debrasullivan7479]

In that solitude they were able to leave the world with great wisdoms to live by. Not such a dreadful, useless way to live your life.

[@xerox9591]

I find it incredibly exhausting having to listen to meaningless conversations all day long. People keep talking endlessly, meaningless words. They are afraid of silence. Silence within himself. So endless talking, meaningless. Also because they are well aware that they have nothing to say.

[@thinkneothink3055]

I wonder why channels as awesome as this one don’t pop up earlier on, when I watch a lot of similar material,

[@defaultytuser]

In my experience, the mighty algorithm seems to be more inclined to show the other Frederick (Engels) and the likes of him. Our man Nietzsche doesn't seem to sit too well with the powers that be ;)

Solitude allows you to dig DEEP INTO YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO DISTRACTIONS ❤

[@Godsglory777]

Great video. I never thought I would say this about Neiche, but in a sense, I can relate. Genesis 2:18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Proverbs 18:1 A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment. Think what you will about the Bible, but for centuries it has been a great source of wisdom and guidance to many. One of its main premises is real clear from start to finish, that it is better to be with company then to Isolate oneself. Yahweh had Christ and the Holy Spirit from eternity until time, Adam had Eve and the Isrealites and the church have each other. We who seek to run from God and others do so out of hurt, but we don't help ourselves when we isolate. We need help, healing, and love and so therefore surrounding ourselves with others is good for us, but the ones we surround ourselves with must have our best interests at heart. 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” I agree that some form of isolation is necessary and helpful, for the Christian we would never get to know God properly if we didn't shut ourselves in with Him. Bad company hurts us and does not help. But good company is a source of great encouragement and help. So we must surround ourselves with those who wish to help us as we help them in this journey of life, yet take time periodically to isolate ourselves to grow and learn.
