Hopefully you don't get a public drubbing like I did for being honest. There are a lot of us who find others nothing but draining and do not follow others opinions about loving complete solitude. It should not be scolded as if it were a defect.

Exactly

Hello there, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the video. It sounds like you've had some negative experiences with people that have caused you pain and stress. It's completely understandable that you would want to distance yourself from such experiences. The video was meant to explore some common reasons why some people may not enjoy being around others, but everyone's experiences and preferences are unique. It's okay if you don't personally relate to the points mentioned in the video. However, it's important to remember that isolation and social withdrawal can also have negative impacts on our mental health and well-being. It might be helpful to explore ways to cope with difficult social situations and find ways to build meaningful connections with others, even if it's in a limited capacity. I hope this helps provide some perspective, and I wish you all the best on your journey.

Thank You :)

I'm sorry to hear about what you went through with your ex. It takes a lot of strength to deal with abuse, and even more strength to finally walk away from it. You should be proud of yourself for recognizing that the relationship was toxic and for having the courage to leave. It's understandable that you may have lost trust in women after what you went through. But it's important to remember that not all women are the same. There are good women out there who are kind, loving, and respectful. Don't let the actions of one person cloud your judgment of an entire gender. Take some time to heal and focus on yourself. When you're ready, don't give up on love. Keep an open mind and heart, and be patient. You deserve to find someone who treats you with the respect and love that you deserve. Remember, you are strong and worthy of love and happiness.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on romantic love versus platonic friendship. It's true that many romantic relationships end in breakup or divorce, but that doesn't mean that the love experienced during those relationships wasn't real or special. While platonic friendships can be incredibly valuable and fulfilling, romantic relationships offer a unique level of intimacy and emotional connection. It's important to note that not all romantic relationships are temporary, and many couples are able to work through conflicts and maintain a strong, long-lasting partnership. It's also important to remember that conflicts and disagreements can arise in any type of relationship, whether it's romantic or platonic. What's important is how those conflicts are addressed and resolved. With open communication and a willingness to work through issues, both romantic relationships and platonic friendships can thrive. Ultimately, whether someone values romantic love or platonic friendship more is a personal preference, and both can bring joy and fulfillment to one's life. It's important to appreciate and cherish all of the meaningful relationships in our lives, whether they are romantic or platonic.

@@thethoughtcafe You're welcome. Platonic relationships and romantic relationships may be two entirely different things, but that doesn't mean they are equal when it comes to the amount of love given in them. The love in platonic relationships seems to be way stronger than the love in romantic relationships is since platonic relationships are not fragile like romantic relationships are. Also, platonic relationships also seem to be a lot more intimate and comfortable than romantic relationships are. Platonic love is one of the most purest forms of love there is, while romantic love is one of the least purest forms of love there is. Most people seem to be a lot more comfortable around their platonic best friends than they are around their romantic partners or spouses. A platonic best friend is one of the best things you could ever have. A platonic best friend can be someone you trust the most, and they can be your confidant and coach. People tend to trust their platonic best friends more than their romantic partners, and that's a fact.

@@icysnow57cold64 Thank you for your comment and for sharing your perspective. I completely agree with you that platonic relationships and romantic relationships are two different things, and that the love given in them is not equal. However, I also believe that the strength of love in any relationship depends on the individuals involved and the level of emotional investment they have in the relationship. I agree with you that platonic relationships can be very intimate and comfortable, as they are not driven by romantic expectations and pressures. They provide a safe space for individuals to be themselves and share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or rejection. At the same time, I wouldn't say that romantic love is one of the least purest forms of love. Romantic relationships can also be very pure and genuine, especially when built on a foundation of mutual trust, respect, and communication. Of course, they do require a certain level of vulnerability and can be fragile at times, but I believe that this vulnerability can deepen the bond between partners. Lastly, I too believe that a platonic best friend can be one of the best things to have in life. They can offer a unique kind of support and companionship that is different from romantic relationships. However, I do think that trusting your romantic partner is also very important, and building a strong foundation of trust is key to a healthy and long-lasting relationship.

@@thethoughtcafe There are a lot of toxic romantic relationships, while there isn't that many toxic platonic relationships. Like an example is that abuse happens a lot in romantic relationships, while abuse is rare in platonic relationships. So there is a lot of abusive romantic relationships, while there isn't that many abusive platonic relationships. Why do you think abusive romantic relationships have a term for them called "domestic violence", while abusive platonic relationships don't have a term for them? It's because abuse in platonic relationships is very rare, while abuse in romantic relationships happens a lot. And also, a lot of people cheat on their romantic partners with someone else, while most people won't do stuff like that with their platonic best friends. Also, I heard that most people can live a life without romance and can still be happy. But most of the time, if someone doesn't have any platonic friends in their life, it can affect them really bad mentally; much worse than living a life without a romantic partner. In today's world, less people are dating and getting married now, and they seem to be happier being single rather than being in romantic relationship with someone. Also, you're going to have a much deeper spoken understanding and connection with your best friend than you are with a romantic partner or spouse. So those are other reasons why romantic love isn't real or special, while platonic love is.

@@icysnow57cold64 Thank you for your reply. Here are my 2 cents - While it is true that there are many toxic romantic relationships, it is not accurate to say that there aren't many toxic platonic relationships. Abuse can occur in any type of relationship, and it is important to recognize and address it regardless of the relationship type. Additionally, while there may not be a specific term like "domestic violence" for abusive platonic relationships, the harm caused by such relationships is just as real and significant. Regarding cheating, it is not fair to make broad generalizations about people's actions in relationships. Cheating can happen in any type of relationship, and it is not limited to romantic ones. Furthermore, it is important to recognize that not everyone needs romantic relationships to be happy, just as not everyone needs platonic relationships. People have different needs and preferences when it comes to relationships, and that is okay. Lastly, while it is true that a person may have a deeper connection with their best friend than their romantic partner, it does not diminish the value or significance of romantic love for those who experience it. In summary, it is important to recognize that all types of relationships have the potential for toxicity and abuse, and that people have different needs and preferences when it comes to relationships. It is not fair to make broad generalizations or diminish the value of one type of love over another.

Ooops! Apologies!

I appreciate your perspective on depression and its relationship with existentialism. I understand that depression is a complex issue and can have various underlying causes, and I agree that it is not the same as sadness. While I respect your views on the left-brain and right-brain dichotomy, I believe that both hemispheres play an essential role in our lives and should be balanced for optimal functioning. I also agree that life is theological and that it goes on and on forever. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and I look forward to hearing more from you in the future.

I am glad that you liked the video. Thank you :)
