spend the day alone w me

[@wendybijellberg]

i think our relationship with ourselves should be like our relationships with any other person in our lives (friend family etc) like we love them, we appreciate them, but that doesn't mean that we don't recognize they have flaws. they do, and you love them despite (or sometimes even because) of them. self-love to me doesn't mean to love every single thing about myself, but for all the self-criticism that i have to come from a place of love and not hate

[@lenabanx6221]

Love this reflection, thanks for sharing

[@khalilahd.]

It’s so hard to unlearn feeling guilty for resetting and taking time for yourself but uploads like this remind me that it’s okay to spend the day along to recoup 💜

[@undercover_idiot]

This video is definitely one of my favorites of yours. I love the cozy feel and the intimate discussions going on and I completely relate to so much of what you're going through...especially with the need for constant external stimulation. Also that editing trick you did with the voice overs was really cool it must have taken so long.😂

[@maiphammy]

love this

[@linemoen90]

Omg, nice to hear someone else talking about having to fill every second of the day with sound to drown out thoughts, that's exactly what I do all the time. I've been doing it for years, I'm never alone with my thoughts. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if i actually didn't do anything, but I never try it out.

[@luvvreni]

i tried to do it one day in the morning but i couldn’t help myself. by the time afternoon came, i was either listening to music, listening to a podcast, or watching a youtube vid

[@nuggs7598]

i’m an introvert w/ GAD and i (personally) think having to drown out my thoughts is more of an anxious habit than it is an introvert/extrovert thing! i fill my brain with yt videos/music/etc bc i don’t want to focus on the thoughts in my head

[@linemoen90]

@@nuggs7598 I can relate to that, I also think it has to do with anxiety for me. I remember one time i had forgotten my headphones at work, I went and bought new ones because the thought of having to listen to my own thoughts for 30 minutes freaked me out! Have you discussed this with a therapist before? I've always felt so alone in this, so nice to talk to someone who understands!

[@nuggs7598]

@@linemoen90 I’ve had a therapist for about 4 years now! I definitely understand myself & my anxiety better. I also learned that mindfulness and meditation helps to calm those thoughts and to be more present instead of thinking about the future!

[@linemoen90]

@@nuggs7598 Ah, that's good! Happy to hear it has helped you out with that, might have to look into it! Meditation is definitely helpful, I always put on a sleep hypnosis video at night to help my mind wind down!

[@lotttaaa]

i feel like no one ever realises that being alone doesn’t always mean i’m lonely

[@user-pv6mu9fj2l]

very true

[@amandajaynewoodhall]

I always think of playing social media in the background as being the modern equivalent of white noise. 🖤 It's quite soothing

[@ckronquillo99]

Honestly loved the different angles, stream of consciousness and the no background music. Made the vibes feel good and chill

[@yeahhi3207]

I 100% relate to your need to be on your phone while watching Netflix. I always play solitaire or candy crush when I’m watching too, but I’m usually completely fine if im watching with other people. Just wanted to say you’re not alone in this!

[@aminamrashid]

i loved the lighting towards the end of the video lol, such a cozy environment! i wish other youtubers didn't care about bright lighting as much

[@fatima95808]

I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY LITERALLY RELATE TO THIS VID SO MUCH - i just had this convo with my friend 2 hours ago about what u just said and dilemma with always filling your time from having mindless thoughts and not wanting to spend time alone

[@marccolomayt82094]

Jen’s vids are making me feel comfy everyday 💕💕

[@youobviouslyloveoreos7101]

love the sweater. also, sensing new EC editing style vibes in this vid. v cool.

[@annalindgren2946]

You should do more of these kinds of videos! 🤩✨ I definitely related to the whole ‘filling up the air with noise so as to avoid the feeling of loneliness’, so it’s nice to hear others talk about it.

[@alexcoop8068]

I am feeling very alone and down today this video was very therapeutic for me ty

[@rushitaroy30]

I have been waiting for some jen content 💫❤️ thank you for posting 🎊 I love this concept , it was so good almost like introspecting. Loved it 💜 you should do this more often 🌸 I hope you feel better soon 💫

[@ziraldot]

When u started to talk about being alone and how do u really feel about it, I pause the video and thought about myself as well. Some minutes later, u said, "I just think that I don't love myself as much as a thought I did" and I literally said that in the conversation that I just had with myself. So... u r not alone love, neither am I

[@hedihostik8719]

Again, Jen being relatable. I just can’t be alone with my thoughts and I need someone talking to distract me, even tho I don’t like being with people. It just lets my thoughts wonder and mostly to fictional scenarios that I will just get disappointed when they don’t happen. I also like being in nature when alone. It’s just so calming… thank you for listening

[@Grace61.]

Technically she's not alone cause we're with here going though it too

[@mitochondreuh]

honestly feeling especially thankful right now that i've found your channel and have followed your journey. over time, i've noticed a lot of similarities between you and i and can relate to a lot of what you talk about in your videos. i find comfort in a lot of these similarities because i don't relate to other youtubers like this. actually, my parents have the exact same 平安 charm hanging at the same place in our car, which is honestly what prompted me to comment on your video for the first time ever LOL. i speak mandarin at home too because my parents are Taiwanese immigrants. the foods that you show when your dad cooks/whenever you eat traditional chinese dishes also feels so so homey because that's what i grew up eating. AND, everything (literally every topic) you addressed while you were sitting at the park has been a part of my inner monologue at one point. it's really unfortunate that your tmj problems are still persisting. i'm really sorry about that. thank you for giving us some insight on it because i feel like chronic pain can be a very debilitating thing to deal with ALL the time. i've had to deal with repetitive strain injuries on both my hands/arms from taking classes remotely for college during the pandemic and i'm still on the recovery journey almost 8 months later. the constant pain is really frustrating; i definitely took being able-bodied for granted. hearing about your experience made me feel less alone going through my own healing. people never talk about the mental strength/difficulty someone experiences when experiencing a long lasting physical injury etc. i hope your journey goes smoothly though. thank you for sharing this very real part of your life. i thought this video was beautiful and very well edited, but also realistic at the same time.

[@KT-kw5ge]

This was genuinely sooooo refreshing to hear because I do the same thing. Where I will be “alone” and the have to have music playing or Netflix or just consuming some sort of media because I fear what my thoughts or feelings may say or how I might react to the silence. I definitely didn’t see it as depressing, just self reflection like you stated. I genuinely love your videos, they give a sense of realness to KZbin and I just love your vibe. I see a lot of myself in you and I admire you so much for gaining more independence and exploring more. Thanks for making me feel less alone by sharing your experiences and much love and support❤️❤️✨

[@ronavieroy]

This is actually really inspiring Jen! I’m gonna save this video so I can watch it when I am feeling down :)

[@gloriaramirez8101]

hands down one of my favorite videos. thank you so much Jen for making me think about some of the topics that I've always disregarded. I hope there's more videos like this :)

[@hey_its_abs]

Props to you for recognizing that fear of being alone with your own thoughts, I definitely felt that 😅 I have to remind myself a lot to stop running away from rest and reflection. It really is this training of our brains in the technology/social media era to need a constant influx of information/stimulation, and I think it's honestly dangerous. The Shallows by Nicholas Carr is a super interesting book about this, I highly recommend!!

[@afreakanigga]

So much stuff I could relate to ! I'm an extrovert who definitely has been challenged with the multiple quarantines and as much as I love socializing, I start to enjoy more and more time at home, alone. Even if being alone kind of makes me sad too (I'm an only child who lives with mom, lol). Filling the silence and free time with noise and content is such a bad habit of mine because when time comes to get to bed, it's you and your thoughts and on the long run it harms more than anything else but being conscious about it is a first step towards more introspection and self-love. Sidenote... Tetris is the best game ever !

[@emmawilde3364]

I like doing a simple calming puzzle while I watch TV. I have this circle one with all the colors you could imagine. It’s super relaxing and fun.

[@robynr]

I have the same problem. I am almost always on my phone now and the past couple months have been the worst. My fingers hurt from scrolling and holding my phone. I usually am able to take a break and do some craft or something to give myself a phone break but that hasnt been happenimg lately. But also I havent been in much of a mood to do anything. Tetris is awesome. I would always play it as well. Then moved to candy crush, pet rescue saga, bubble shooting and other block games. Currently doing a woodoku one. I agree with the not always having to love everything about yourself all the time. And also experience constant pain on different levels. I would think about if my pain was to humble myself as well even though I dont have high self confidence, its decent. I do have self worth though. I usually get headaches body aches and dental pain/ problems. So I really get this video. haha

[@ratedarchives8475]

i love this neutral, real, euphoric editing style. It made me cry but in a good way.

[@lilith_trst]

i relate with you so muchhh. Its so nice to hear that people experiance the same stuff that you are. I really love your content, thank you, i love you

[@niamhperceives]

[@ma_yuvari2215]

Reflection is good. And even tho it feels scary to confront ourselves and our thoughts, its good. Hey if you find something you dont like about yourself (which i bet there is plenty for all of us, we are not perfectly good) than at least you now know where you can progress and what needs to be done, Instread of live in this bubble of ignorance about yourself and not growing at all.

[@ibasameer5208]

i love your song clean up in aisle 4 i listen to it when ever i clean up my room

[@Ilikeflowers22]

I love crows. They are super cute.

[@hyurisa]

your thoughts on always distracting yourself with a video or music on the background and not truly being alone is so relatable

[@moohnnn]

I know what you mean by 'I don't know if I like being alone in my own head'. I do the same, and it feels good to hear that. I can't be with my own though or else I'll think too much and it'll become really toxic for me, but at the same time everytime that i'm out with friends i just can't wait to go home lmao, i read that you know that you're introvert when seeing people is draining your energy, like if you're extravert it give you energy. So I think that we put sounds (podcast, songs, videos) to not feel alone but we can actually control everything (you don't like this song ? just skip it. You don't want to hear people talking ? Just change your videos/podcast.) and with people, we can't just say 'I'm tired, please stop talking' lmao

[@parisrose129]

i sometimes get a poke bowl and sit at the beach alone. It’s kind of scary just being alone with my thoughts, but it’s very peaceful once I get past that
