I’ve been alone for 30 years. No love, no intimate contact, misery. A few months ago i I decided to let go of all the regret and told myself if I am Going to be alone forever, it’s time to accept whatever the fates have in store for me. I decided to relax and embrace whatever happens with calm and with a smirk. Yesterday I went to get my last paycheck from my old job and the girl I had a huge crush on for the past year came up to me and hugged me and asked it I would want to go do something with her. I can’t believe that it finally happened. When you embrace this life, all the good, and all the bad amazing things happen. Be brave, put love and light into the world. Let go of all resentments. That is when miracles happen and your life will radically change and all the suffering becomes worth more than diamonds.

But I can get lots human contact through a typical day ; it might be a chat with my local barista, or listening to a sermon at my church, or seeing people at a regular yoga group...

Then you are not alone, you have nature to keep you company. A far better friend than most people I have to admit. I’m recently single and I lost my three dogs who were my best friends along with her. It hurt me deeply. We were always hiking and camping and I loved the dogs like my children. Nature is where we all spent our time together. And now I’m afraid being in nature is going to hurt because I do t have them to share it with. I’ll soon find out because I’m going to welcome me to myself. I’m going to stay alone and focus on my inner peace and acknowledging my inner demons. I’m going to learn more about me. It’s very difficult right now but I’m excited to see what my new life with myself will be

It’s my path of inner peace!!! You know what aloneness means when you’re on a Mountain and you’re surrounded with only Nature, 10 years in Montana taught me how to thrive on being alone!!!

There is a very big difference between being alone(intentional) & being lonely(unintentional). Two very different states of mind. Solitude is very necessary for self discovery & self transformation. Once you are fully transformed it is necessary to reintegrate back into society because human interaction becomes beautiful and less threatening once you become fully grounded and centred in who you are.

The problem is that the Press have enabled the mob, leaving no place for the excellent. Notice the word's etymology: we excel. We're called Tier One world-changers. Not out of arrogance, far from it, but because we have the breadth of vision to dare, and by daring, we win. Yes, that's the motto of the world's finest military, and they did ask me to join them: the offer was flawed, but in any case, I'm not primus inter pares, I showed them how to do it. It took a squadron to take the Iranian embassy down, reactively, I gave MI5 the heads-up on the Libyans by being on the ground observing proactively, before it kicked off. Then, working together, I won their admiration by delivery. After half the Cabinet saw me in action, they PM's advisor, Dominic Cummings, recruited more like me - and then the Press pack tore into one, destroying him. There is no point in trying to return.

[@north_star_yt]

I agree, however as deeply as I have been transformed by my years of solitude, I still am thrown off balance alot by being around other ppl. It's like they syphon the energy I soak up from solitude and they somehow drain me unconsciously from their own lack of solitude. I see it happen all the time. I feel it too.

Those who embrace and love solitude have no issue that has to be solved. We are enough by ourselves and that makes us emotionally invincible.

[@carolatrummer3483]

It hurts because one puts his happiness on others, on external sources. No relationship can fulfill you more than the relationship with yourself. If you are alone and unhappy and you feel lonely you are not in a good companionship (you are not good for yourself). Being alone is different from feeling lonely. You are always alone with yourself and you should nurture your relationship with yourself. You can feel lonely amongst hundreds of people but you will always have yourself. The best and fulfilling, satisfying relationship you can have is with yourself as this is a permanent relationship. All others are temporarily and will come to an end.

DESIDERATA Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

[@feliciaoana6371]

I dare to propose an other view on solitude . I see it as an act of love towards others . When you are aware how annoing you are , instead to figth your nearest with your own recepe of hapyness , or even worse to give up your self in pleasing people ....go somewhere you find fullfillness in unhuman satisfactions , like nature or books . You can not hurt a book or a wood with your presence . Let everybody live theyr own lifes without an obligation to make you happy !

The first period I spent in true solitude was during a DXM trip. I wouldn't classify the initial fear of solitude as a phobia. It's a rational fear. Most modern people haven't really experienced a state of true solitude. Even when alone, the phone can ring, the closest computer can reach out, and a short walk and knock on a door can roll the dice that a stranger will be benevolent enough to render aid. True isolation in a modern Western society is only achieved chemically. A dissociative hole you climb into willingly, because you either know you are strong enough to climb out again, or want to train through the pain of isolation to grow strong enough to claw your way back into the world of people you knew.

Solitude allows you to be a human being as opposed to a human doing.

I dont have any issue with being alone, i rarely get to be home alone and when i am, im less alone than when im with people! Im an only child then a single mother and i think i learned how to defeat lonliness when i was very young. Being a loner i was always the odd one out, poor social skills, didnt know how to make friends and my mother discouraged me having friends over or going to their place. I went through a depression over it as a teen, but got over it all in my early 20s and now i can do both, be social but still prefer to be alone.. there are way more benifits being a social person

He’s in solitude as well, he’s learning and he’s being shaped for his calling.

I not only embrace, I respect and appreciate it.

It is a beautiful place ! Acknowledge others but maintain the inner peace.

Life is a solitary experience. You are born alone and die alone but we spend our whole lives running from this truth. You can't run from death, you can't run from your deepest darkest desires. Embrace them and understand that you control the monster inside and the gift of life is the ability to be alone. We need people and relationships, but the relationship you have with yourself will dictate your relationship with the world.

Solitude is power, self-care, financial freedom, owning self, and independence for me.

I used my time incarcerated to self reflect. I was told to use the time as a gift. I journaled and discovered what I wanted in life

Being alone is not bad. I love my friends, but to be alone no problem. I like myself

[@deedee19791]

What most are seeking lies within them, but they’re afraid to be alone to face themselves… They dodge their truth..
