The real issue is when you isolate for too long. That is when people start to look like danger. You start to go insane and have a fear of the world with a strong aggression to anyone you don't know. You think everyone is against you. It becomes very difficult to get social again. However, you have to start very small. Things like biking in a park. You start to see people again, but there isn't that many of them, they are spread out, and you are going faster than them, so no worry about talking to them. After that picking up food, so you can speak just a little to someone. Even making calls to stores to see if they are open just to get used to speaking to people. Start very small and get back into things while making progress towards being more social again

Nah ignore him man If you died right now are you a 100% sure you’d go to Heaven? It's because you have sin all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. What is sin? Sin is essentially any bad thing we've ever done. Because of sin this is is the punishment “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Jesus who is God in heaven came down to Do u know why you have to be saved? Do u know the story of Jesus? (If yes skip next step) if not do next step. God came down to earth as a man. Lived for 33 and a half years. He never sinned his whole life. Eventually some people got jealous of him and got him convicted of phony charges. He got crucified on the cross. Died. Was buried for 3 days then he was resurrected by his own power. Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us? Remember how I said we can't go to heaven because of your sin? The only thing that can wash away your sins in the blood of Jesus Christ “But God shows his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ God did all that to save us from hell "Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Ephesians 2:8-9 “We’re saved by Grace through faith which is not of ourselves it is the gift of God not by works for fear any man should boast” Salvation is not by good works like “water baptism, attending church, any good thing you do” “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Feeling godly sorrow leads to salvation “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ All you gotta do is tell God out loud with your mouth you feel guilty and sorry for being a sinner. Then you just gotta tell him in a prayer. “Dear God I repent as a sinner. I believe Jesus is God who died buried and resurrected I accept his sacrifice for my sins I accept him as my lord and savior” But know just repeating these words won’t save you. You must genuinely mean them from your heart.

Okay. But we didn't choose to be born into sin, EVEN IF we wanted to live a sin-free life, we'd still fall short, because we're imperfect, right? How does that warrant us to be able to be punished for it? Because of Adam and Eve? When God himself views vicarious atonement as an abomination? (Book of Deuteronomy, and Book of Ezekiel, forgive me I do not have the direct verses on hand) But the bible explicitly says that the wages of sin is death? (Book of Isaiah) Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the idea of God. But why would I say to God that I am sorry and guilty for being a sinner when the only reason I am a sinner is because of the world that I was born into, as a result of him? (The book of Genesis, the entire story of Adam & Eve) Yes Adam & Eve ate the forbidden fruit, but God tested them in the manner he did KNOWING they were going to defy him (Because he is all knowing. and before you say "He chooses to not see our future" That just speaks on his character that he chose willful ignorance when the fate of BILLIONS of humans are on the line with that whole garden experiment.) God created them physically perfect but they were NOT mentally perfect otherwise Eve wouldn't have been deceived by the serpent, and Adam would've stood on his principles & beliefs instead of practically simping costing humanity perfection. God is clearly perfect (like you said, lived 33+ years as a man and lived a sin-free life) so why couldn't he have created the first humans with more mental resilience? Or why couldn't he have created them to have more sense? It's just extremely contradicting. @@rockyp32

[@njr819]

I’ve found that when your internal and external conditions are so bad you’re depressed and anxious, you can alleviate both by prioritizing health and wealth, and allowing social connection on that path happen naturally. The second you start prioritizing socializing over your actual foundational internal and external progress, you’re liable to fall into other people’s traps of complacency, where they use other people doing the same things as validation that it’s okay rather than what their conscience is telling them. Freedom and self control is the goal. Progress is the portal. No matter what you’re doing socially, if you’re making progress towards a life you actually can enjoy, remove any and all distractions. You will get there.

[@True38]

I'm an introvert, so I benefit more from isolating than being around a lot of people. Over the years, I've taken care of my social needs through studies, work, and having a partner or just going on a date. Spend time with family at times also, although not so much anymore. It is what it is but I definitely agree to not be isolated over a long period of time. You need to get out in the real world and interact with people so you don't go completely insane.

Fast forward to this day after getting into a pretty extensive "monk mode" phase, I now work from home and even though I make much more money than I used to, I barely speak to people outside my close circle, and became a little akward to be honest, which feels strange to me because I like being social, funny how back when I was starting out I would just dream about being financially stable and now that I am I keep thinking about the old days and how fun it was, good video man will definitely focus to stay social this year.

I am 20. You can develop self-control and discipline and lower your ego. You can quickly get over these hijackings and be more capable of self-identifying problems with your ideology, routine, or anything and quickly start changing it. Life is just a chain of small actions that pile up and have a compounding effect. Socialization and isolation can be very beneficial, but it varies from person to person and on their life level. On the other hand, over-socialization can be very catastrophic because, just like the internet, the amount of information you have to filter will be so much that you will lose track and most probably be affected either negatively or positively if you are lucky. Just like in everything, you must find the equilibrium to maintain the balance in your life. I don't believe that I need anything 100%, but it can be better having it or just having the choice of having it or not.

A couple weeks ago, I lost a close family member and had to wash their body & bury them. Then a couple days after the funeral I was abandoned by someone I dearly loved & cared for, and they didn't even say goodbye. It's the second time I've gone through a "double heartbreak" in under a week (the first time was also eerily similar circumstances - abandoned by someone I loved, and then a close friend of mine died suddenly), and I have not left my room nor spoken to much people because the grief has been heavy and it deteriorated my lifestyle. The only thing that's been helping me cope is journalling. This video and your message legitimately could not have come at a better timing. I still have no idea how to talk to people, what to say to someone I don't know, or how to prepare myself to love again as I'm terrified that every heartbreak will result in another death of someone close to me. My social confidence is somewhat wrecked. But I know for a fact this is the healthiest way to move on and rebuild, so I'm going to try. Because frankly, I'm terrified of being alone and unloveable, and what I'm doing right now is no way to live. Thank you so much for making this. You've helped a soul today.

I don’t know how this popped up on my feed. But this may be the most inspiring thing I’ve ever heard. 💯

Parallel back to childhood, time. Yes, I've one that, it heals. You know what you're talking about

[@RippedOfStitches]

A year before Covid started I was in 9th grade and switching to home school because of anxiety that made it so I couldn’t sleep and starting than I started to completely isolate myself and it took me 5 years to change anything at all other than sit in my room by myself all day, I started just going on walks at first than I started going to the gym daily or as often as you can and I started working and got a mentorship. Around 6 months ago I got an injury that stopped me from being able to walk for a while so I’ve been falling back into bad habits since I’m stuck inside all day. And I genuinely want anyone who starts to isolate themselves to just stop and go out with someone or even just call someone, it’s hard for me to even talk to my family now since I haven’t talked to a lot of people for so long

[@XFiles4]

Ugghhhh I wish money wasn’t the problem 🤦🏾‍♀️ as bad as it sounds, wealth would make all of my problems go away

[@Breammummy]

i have wealth and am lonely. pls tell

[@characteristicallyauthentic]

@@Breammummyshare the wealth, let’s be social together!? lol

[@going2sleep]

This country is so isolated, it is crazy. I agree with this.

[@selen5487]

I found most people suffering from anxiety and depression and when I feel down and that way too they’re 1. Isolated not socializing enough 2. Not moving or exercising enough 3. Inwards focused thinking of themselves all the time instead of outward focused cuz always thinking of themseleved etc or goals can become stressful 4. Don’t attempt new activities so everything feel mundane to them

[@gsmith6733]

I agree with you there is a time to isolate. Like what happened during COVID there was a high percentage of self-reflection and getting to know thyself. Just don't remain there. Thanks for caring Tai.💖🙏🏽

[@jessicaselenecenteno]

Agreed! Social skills are crucial. Thank you Tai!

[@robertquinonez_]

You have so much wisdom Tai it’s ridiculous. Love it man.

[@rudociliak6683]

Brother I was born an only child and every friend I make I realize it only lasts as long as I'm worthwhile something for them. I have 2 real friends that have stuck around through thick and thin and I take respect seriously in my life. From what I see around me as a fully grown adult almost 30 years old now people still behave like children. I am so used to being alone and rellying on just myself and my old man that it's seriously hard to stay social. I used to work 80 hour weeks because it made no difference to me in my early 20s. I'm not complaining about it but I've also developed a great ability to just ignore people. Because balancing money and real friendships is difficult. Understanding how to be isolate is something I will always be able to understand for my entire life. I understand the pros to this and the cons aswell. But the cons you get used to and it becomes the norm. Especially when it comes to relationships with women, they're naturally so social and I don't make the cut for alot of them in that sense. I'm a master of in one ear out the other. And people will absolutely use your energy for their behalf. Ask you for money, which I was too sympathetic to give up to many. Just to see them disappear down the road. Sometimes I feel completely desensitized to the society around me, like Im just an observer. Just stating my experience to this point of my life. I sometimes too often think of high-school days because it was the last days of when I felt actually socially fulfilled.

[@chrisneukum9542]

thank you tai...i dont know why youre on my feed but definitely a healthy reminder...i push going to a social setting at the gym and hooping --- even if im depressed. its a cycle. i like the pitbull metaphor. cheers.

[@EazZieD]

you have no idea how helpful this is for me. Thank you

[@JohanFitFoodie]

Definitely key to have close friends to check in on you, even for us introverts 😊

[@games68775]

Whenever I have problems which seem very grave in my head, once I'm social and do some things with friends etc, everything feels a lot better.

[@UFC16]

I have MS for 10 years and I feel like my old self when I connect with certain people. There are people who also bring you down like narcissists.

[@TheOverman2024]

Lol tired of being social. Right now, I am the happiest when I am isolating.

[@Town-Z]

The best thing in my opinion to revert the habits of isolation are to completely diminish any current habits. Create new interests, explore new areas, seek out things that your previous self would turn away from

[@selen5487]

Thank you for your insights it’s very accurate stay true to ur ideas don’t listen to people complaining trying to make themselves better for isolating themselves

[@xBlackHalo]

I think this video definitely has multiple things that I could implement into my own life.

[@soccerkid3928]

This came at the right time… my default when I’m going through life is to completely isolate myself

[@lbj2320]

incredible timing for me, thank you Tai!

[@joe_mox]

For me is the opposite, the more I isolate, the better I feel... I guess it depends for each individual case

[@riccardomascia7004]

Sooo true! Stay social! Going out with friends and if you don’t have any join any classes from yoga to painting you will connect with new people,guaranteed!Love your content Tai ,keep it up!

[@Breammummy]

I feel like those are waste of time activities with people who lack direction and are not succesful. I want to meet intelligent and driven people.

[@YaBetterCallBabu07]

I hear you but i dont know. I do realize a correlation between when i isolate myself more & growth. Majority of socializing these days is parties, drinkin, drugs, &/or small talk. I notice that during times i socialize more. Perhaps some sort of balance is the 🔑

[@selen5487]

Also when u make plans socialize outside of the home it’s not even the person it’s the way there way back the activity etc u feel refreshed

[@jas3105_]

Great video feels like i have stayed isolated for far too long in my own head that everything just feels hard now and don’t really have friends and never dated but have been trying to be more social the past few months but it still difficult

[@J3SIM-38]

They call it feedback. When a person is put into isolation in prison, what they lack is feedback from anyone, then their minds start to spiral into oblivion. We need feedback from others.

[@KurapikasChains727]

I’m 29. I spent many days & nights in isolation. Been smoking weed & wanting to be by myself. Not that I have anyone to really go to.. & I thought that was okay until I really experienced an odd state. Being extremely high, anxious, & lonely has put me through some episodes that still feel so very vivid. Those lonely nights are memories of nights I never want to experience again. I was weak back then (not that I’m not weak now). And weakness many times is lack of education. My lack of being educated brought me to the brink of insanity. And it’s not really education in terms of academics. I’m really stupid when it comes to interacting with other ppl. Even now I have trouble making relationships. I’ve become nihilistic as Can be.. I spent months in isolation (not entire days, but damn near)… some days I never saw the sun. It’s fucked with my mental health… sigh. I’ll fix this, though. Hopefully friendship & love still await me. TLDR: he’s right. Never isolate..

[@RandomGuyV743]

Do what you think is the best for you. Do not socialize with clowns which is 80% of population. The strongest stay alone and observe

[@mr.dccomics9018]

I honestly have a peace of mind by myself. People are tribal if you think or behave outside your culture stereotype . You will be an outcast among your own people.

[@70two41five]

As men we don’t join tribes, that’s what women do. We build tribes.

[@nickw670]

Ive been isolating for years because I never had much of a desire to socialize to begin with. I don't really feel anxiety or if I do I don't recognize it. I just dont really like people that much. I don't like talking much either

[@abraham5554]

holy shit i’m in the worst time of my life at 22. this video made me think clearer than i already am trying. and trust me i’m trying. i don’t wanna be a sad dweeb in my room all day.

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

This is a benefit of being good looking... i can isolate for months to work and focus on a skill or project and once im ready ill fit right in cause my looks attract people.

[@Traveler89_89]

What I don’t like is when I go thru things even if people do not have the whole story it’s like they love to focus on the negativity or the fact you are down. Especially if they are in a better position. I do not like that. So I keep to myself a lot. Being social when needed is fine but overdoing it can’t hurt u more. This year I just been focused on myself and giving my self time for myself and healing and not feeling rushed all the time. Or feeling like I need to give explanations when I don’t

[@PhatallyFlawless]

When ever I feel isolated I just go to my garage and give my Lambo a hug, or ill reread one of the books in my library

[@Thepositivitypowerhouse]

Simple, but very insightful. Isolation is really the easy route

[@nicklam66]

yes keep telling yourself that. keep projecting.

[@AlexRocks80s80s]

What’s your problem 😂

[@gaza7489]

Just came back with my friends from a nightclub and this is true I was very antisocial and all I did outside of studying was gaming and band. I went out there and found a girl and got her phone number. Something that I thought would be very challenging to do so be social you have more to offer people than you know.

[@Deferrybouman]

Thank you Tai for this video, i gotta say i needed it. I would say start small by getting involved in something it can be having friends over to watch a football game or whatever, Spend time with your parents especially as they get older. Also having good food, being in nature, good sleep etc

Thank you for this message. Definitely what I’ve been needing to hear for a while now. But of all things I figured out in life. This tai’s all the loose ends to my deepest life questions.

Isolation is both vital & deadly, depending on your nurturing or unnurtuing self instincts within the cave itself.

[@practicesofyoga]

At 36 I am gonna trying to do this as much as I can. Just spending time out in the concrete walls helps me. Just facing the world again and again. Talking with people at work and people who I live with smiling at people who I bought food from helps brother. I am in pain but think are going fine. I stepping forward. I hope this helps someone.

[@Zayden.Marxist]

you're not alone my dawg, keep facing and navigating the world, we got this

I remember your videos back then were different. Cool to see you’re on a different wave now.

I’m going through some stuff now myself and I am so glad I have a job to go to. It’s only social thing I do these days, which I guess is better than nothing.
