It’s okay to be alone
Just hard
@@RainyYears Not so hard when the alternative is abusive family. It's a relief.
I want to be alone but I know that things would happen
Yeah as long as i got thousand bucks alone is always best
It’s easy
We love Mav.
WE LOVE MAV
We ❤ Mav
We
We 🖤 Mav.
I hate mav
I took myself out on my first solo “date” in my early 20’s. It felt weird at first, but it became necessary to push myself to be comfortable alone more so in public, I’m an introvert too. I had a 4 course meal that day and it was glorious. I encourage everyone I know to get to know themselves this way. I’ve also gone for drinks and a movie solo. I’m working up to traveling on my own. It’s pretty great to know you can do anything on your own if you choose to. Plus if you can’t like you then how can anyone else?
I love going to restaurants alone, my friends say it’s weird cuz i’m 17 but I find it’s very nice. Being alone truly is the only way to learn more about yourself.
Love it
If you can do drinks and a movie solo you'll have no problem travelling, it's actually a lot easier. Just book the trip without thinking too much.
good idea and way to expression your own self and get to know yourself personally.
But how to learn new People or talk to new People while travelling or having a Drink Alone?
One of my fondest memories:
Came home after a year stationed in South Korea, bought a new truck, drove by myself from NY to WA State. Seeing America like that - by myself - from the perspective of someone who was in a very foreign culture for a year - it was amazing. It would have taken away from the experience had someone been with me, I think.

This video speaks to me, couldn't have explained it any better.
Samee
yea this video speaks to me on so many levels, my sisters have both passed and my parents and we dont have anything to do with that side of the family since my sisters passed so its just me and the wife and our son. I kind of hate christmas it always brings back memories of years past.
ITS THE GUY FROM FORTNITE
Facts💯
Everyone has social batteries of different capacities.
I can totally relate Mav. At 58 I have spent most of my life living alone and still do. All I need socially is to drop by the local country store for few minutes to say hey to one or two people and I'm good...lol
I’m only 23 and I’ve been pretty isolated since 18 and I’m losing my mind how do you do it 😭
Reasons that I spend 95% of my time alone: 1. people are annoying 2. you can't trust anyone 3. people make me uncomfortable 4. I don't have to be self-conscious when I'm alone 5. less chance of being murdered 6. way less drama/head trips 7. no one to boss me around
@@user-uy3eq5hg1s I agree with you a lil, but family is so good to be around. Just there love for you can mean so much even in those times of pain 😔
havent seen someone over 50 use "lol"
@@frenchtoast4630 Happy for you that you have some good family, count your blessings. I have one great family member: my mom. Everyone else is sketchy, has betrayed me or is downright unfriendly. That's why I specified 95% of my time. I like to spend the other 5% of my time with my mom or my 1 decent friend or sometimes others, when I can.
I feel ya man! I’m 25 and single. Bought a house a little over a year ago. I wanted to go on some trips because I have this desire to explore and camp in the wilderness. I kept telling myself I wanted to wait to experience these things with my future wife, but it hit me that we aren’t promised tomorrow, and if I wanted to do something I just need to go do it. So I drove 18 hours to the Grand Canyon over Spring Break last year and hiked to the bottom and back up in one day (something I told myself I wanted to do before I died). I’m planning another trip this Spring Break and it’s been on my mind to go to other places this summer when I’m not working. This video has helped me decide that I am going to do just that.
If anyone has made it this far into my comment, just know that tomorrow may never come. Your desires today may never happen if you wait to see them out. Go and do what it is you’ve been pushing off until so and so happens. There is no better time than the present.
Dude u literally described me and how I'm feeling rn. Though I'm 19 and just graduated high school I don't wanna waste a day. I'm planning to go a park and just camp out of my ford explorer.
Wow you bought your own house at 25!!??? That's amazing Man!
I'm 28 and I don't think I'll ever be able to buy my own little place 😅
I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.. I always thought it was bad but I enjoy being by myself 90-95% of the time.
I never really noticed how similar we all are, anti-social yet random burst of conversation. That really hits home on my personality.
It took me twice as many years to figure this out than it did Mav. If you can learn to be comfortable being alone, and learn to enjoy your own company, it's one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon yourself in life.
For me personally, its getting too comfortable being alone. The balance needs to be there which I keep trying to push myself into to meet new people.
This made me happy just as a young adult and thinking I’m the one who is wrong for wanting to be alone it’s nice to feel normal and belong
This is exactly why i watch you, for the introvert in me that has no way of honoring that. Watching ur vids satisfies that without having to leave my living room😂
I feel you 100% on the “extroverted introvert” deal. Sometimes I just wanna laugh, talk and hang out. Other times I just wanna be left alone to do what I want, be it cooking something different, playing video games, driving with some good music, etc.
yeah im definitely this way, i need a large amount of solo time to really enjoy myself. i cant imagine living with somebody 24/7 i feel like i would not be able to fully be myself, not sure if i will ever get married lol.
@@Lewdacris916 ikr like one day they gon leave u
I am the same way. I enjoy being around other people, however, I enjoy being alone more.
Hey man this video was really special for what I’m going through in my life, hope you’re doing good and your channel is such a cozy and important place on TH-cam.
Keep doing you
hehe... mr wobbles... hehe
the bard himself watches mav? sick!
bro i love your videos
I can relate highly also and have been a long time veiwer of your channel (fuck knows if u can check but its been years). Really happy to have seen your development in all aspects of life x (ur talented as and a lovely person stay wobbling fella)
I love your videos
My dude, it’s so refreshing hearing a fit and young guy talk about eating at restaurants alone.
As a ”big guy” and always have been a big guy, I can relate so much to what you were saying. I’ve learned the last 4 years, for me, that it’s about being totally selfcentered and imagining the whole world revolves around me and everybody watching my every move and thinking that I knew what people were thinking about me because that’s how I would think about me or them.
As you said, it is such a freedom to be comfortable in your own company at any place.
Very intimate and good video Maverick.
Thank you for making it, I really do love all your content.
Much love from Sweden. / teps
You are an inspiration to all us extroverted loners, Mav. You are the perfect example of a healthy INFJ, and its really cool seeing someone like you living your best life. Don't stop, bro.
... You are "alone" and yet you have 1.7 million of us traveling with you and listening to you... Thank you Maverick for sharing, you are appreciated ... Keep on trucking 👍🙏
Honestly... I've been living alone for over 20 years now and I don't think I could do it any other way anymore. I completely get it.
Same here Bud,been divorced 26 years been single the whole time.wouldnt know how to live with a significant other.
👍🏻
Same here Bill. 21yrs by myself and I don't think I could be around someone now. Empth too. Cheers..
Just bought a house a few years ago and I think I'm getting started on your guys journey. My outlet is reading/music.
Being alone is great. Keep yourself well
It took me my whole life all 58 years but 4 surgeries forced me to get comfortable with myself or not. I am. I feel better when I’m alone. I set my priorities and that’s Mexico this year lol!! No worries about another I can barely handle myself. Keep on truckin Mav. Do what your self tells you. I sometimes don’t and regret it.
What you said about being in a group and micromanaging yourself is so relatable.. exactly how i feel. I am so focused on the way I’m acting and can’t really focus on the things i want to be doing. Great video as always
Personally since losing my other half I’m enjoying the solitude. He taught me a lot about doing things on my own and so far his advice served me well. I still have our two dogs and although having to return to the workforce coming home to quiet has been a blessing. If you start to feel alone a dog serves as a great companion. Yes my dogs miss him but the loss has brought us closer. You can come and go when you want and only have to answer to my four legged kids. My time is that mine and we go when we want. Nice!!
I've always said if my wife dies I'll probably never move on, and honestly reading this has made me a little more comfortable with that idea. Thank you for sharing, I hope all is well!
Getting a cat is a great idea too if you’re not into the outside walks. Adopting is the best!
BULLSHIT , being alone is like being on a boat thats slowly drifting out to sea , get back to shore NOW ...
Honestly. You sounds a bit like an emotionless robot.
@@NOBOX7 not for everyone.
I feel this. It's weird but it's kinda nice to know other people feel similar. Love the vids Mav, keep on truckin.
I literally resonate with what your saying you feel in this video, I feel less crazy after watching this 😂 seriously! Love the videos MAV I’m about to be on the road traveling around this year, fishing and exploring might start vloging my travels! Hope this year is amazing for you!
This is super relatable. I always feel like my truest most authentic self when I'm alone. I just discovered your channel and am loving your content! Your funny and authentic and your dialogue is fantastic! Your presence is magnetic, thanks for sharing your adventures!
The way you explained being an introvert but still enjoying extroverted activities at times is exactly how I feel. Just gotta take time to charge the social battery sometimes. Living the dream mav! Becoming a bigger fan every day
Mental health is a huge problem for me right now.
It has been for a few years actually. Your videos are a great outlet for me.
Thanks for uploading this, exactly how I feel at this point in my life. Everything you said relates to me and so many out there that isn't normalized. Nothing wrong with enjoying your own journey, at the end of the day you know who you are.
It's really hard to navigate through this life, especially in the time we live in. Thanks for being so candid about your thoughts and feelings. It helps to hear that other people are trying to figure it out too.
Shout out to you man, I suffer from depression and I always feel alone but ever since I started watching your videos, I started venturing off to do things on my own and it feels amazing
It’s honestly not bad
Makes u feel at peace
This dude is always spitting facts. He got me to start living outta my SUV and start traveling around the states. Thanks Mav for being a rad dude and sharing your journey with us!
@Nate Higgers what?
@Nate Higgers dude what are you talking about you can literally just get a test and then board your plane. Don’t know where you get your information from
@Nate Higgers dude I’m not even trying to discuss the vaccine 🤣🤣 I don’t even think the poster of the comment was trying to have a conversation about the vaccine
how do you make money, or do you just go on your time off
@Nate Higgers Your name 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was the most heartfelt video I think you've ever done. And I know exactly how you feel and I do alot of the same things Mav. But seems like people don't understand. They just think we're depressed or whatever. But life alone is great.. thank you for sharing more about who you are.. from one Minnesotan to another ya you betcha
I love this. Being able to live and do things alone is absolute bliss.
I felt this as I’m sure a lot of other people did. Mental health is important yet an extremely tough subject to address. Keep on truckin’ Mav.
I'm also an introvert, can relate to what you said. Interestingly enough, there's a side of me that's not introverted, I used to front a band and play in front of big crowds of people in clubs, but the day after a gig I'd always have to be totally alone to decompress from the massive stimulation and energy being around large groups can bring. Now I've chosen photography as my creative outlet which is great because it's singular and I love working alone.
Dude same? I had a 3 piece band in college. My friends wondered why I could be in front of a crowd singing but in a room full of people I’d be all alone. Something about the etiquette I guess. Sometimes we just need to recharge. Our lights burn hot and bright but for a short time
I love this man the blunt into the psyche and emotional side of growing up and doing your own thing and starting your life man this is raw and who you are man and just know you’re not the only one bro you’ve got so many like you who support you every day by just watchin your videos man we appreciate you bro
The entire time you spoke in such an empowering way, and it’s really awesome that you do the things you do simply because you want to live life how YOU want to live it. There’s nothing wrong with being alone, some people are just made that way, and that’s okay.
We love you Mav. Well said 🤙🏼
Claw boss
With this guy hair he seems like he can get alot of girls 😊
Holy shit Claw watches Mav!?!
This video is exactly why I started following your channel Mav. I agree with everything you said. Especially when you said, being in a room full of people and being lonely. I learn to be alone after a long time. And yes it is powerful to be able to be alone.
Yea I’m an introvert . Even though I’ve always been living with ppl . I was married and I raised 5 kids . I got divorced but we still stayed together for years afterwards . I’ve lived with a couple of boy friends . I’ve lived with my oldest daughter and her husband and kids and now I live and take care of my 91 year old father . But after he passes away I want to buy a van and live in it all by myself except for my dogs . Right now I got three and they’re my fur babies . I never really liked being around a bunch of ppl I didn’t like going to the bars or concerts .
This really inspires me, especially that it is ok to do things by myself I don't need others! Mav, I have been watching your channel for it seems years (which I think it is) but you always make me feel I can venture. Thank you so so much!
Am I the only one that finds the sound of his keys jingling, engine turning on, beeping sound from car and blinker signal sounds soothing and relaxing?
You’re not alone you have all of us and we adore you!
If that’s your real face, I adore you too!
Aww ☺️ thank you!
@@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr agreed lol
You cute
Hi, Peach.
What people don’t understand is, that an introvert recharges when he’s by himself and extroverts recharges when he’s around other people. There is nothing bad about either of the two types. You need to understand what you are and be fine with it.
You said extrovert twice
People don't understand the exact definition of introvert and extrovert? Lmao you good bro?
@@jac1897 So, what's your definition?
Right there with you Mav, thanks for your transparancy and vulnerability! It is nice to hear you talk about things I struggle with as well
I have never heard someone describe this in such a simple and concise way that resonates. Thanks for sharing!! I really relate to it and find comfort in your fortitude about it. I tend to get self conscious about my alone time which I’m realizing is super needless lol
Found your content a couple days ago and have binging it ever since. Really find it so peaceful and love what you choose to share with us and how you share it. Love to see it
I met you at a restaurant in Duluth a few months ago, Mav. You are a super down to earth person. I had a great time chatting with you. We all have our own place to escape to and recharge. Just keep doing what you are doing.
I’m a “loner”. I usually feel pretty down about myself, idk why but for some reason this video made me feel ok for a bit. I guess it’s nice to just know it’s ok to not be the center of attention. That it’s ok to just cruise by myself. I don’t really know what I’m saying… thanks Mav and take care man.
You’re alright man
What he saying is people have an influence on you and being by yourself you know what you wanna do. Aka spending your time you’re way
Dude you're good. I'm a loner too, and I don't know how old you are, but it was only in my 30s that I really started to accept that it's okay. Enjoy your life!
I’m loner too I only like a select few of friends but I enjoy being alone then a crowd of people that’s okay boys
It is somewhat autism stuff, i have this also.
It's not normal for young peep to hide out. U need to be enjying the company be of your buds and keeping up ok r building relat.s to last by thru your lives.
Mav, just want you to know that watching your videos really encourages and motivates me to go out and do things alone. And even though I consider myself to be introverted, I'll admit the last 2 years have been hard and I haven't really felt connected (pandemic and loss of close friends played a serious role in that). I let myself slip down a not so great path for a little bit...But I'm working to get comfortable with doing things by myself like eating out, hiking, and camping in hopes to reconnect with life. It's scary. But seeing you go on all these adventures motivates me. So, thank you Mav. I'm excited to see what you do in 2022!
@MAV thank you for putting into words what I've been feeling but couldn't explain for most of my life! Loved when you explained why you don't live with others often.
*Mav first and most happy new year* but in reality just want to thank you for inspiring me to start my own TH-cam channel ✨ wish you nothing but success & good health 🙏🏼
Subbed you
Same
Greetings Mav I'm 67 now I love hunting I love fishing I'm an introvert been married to one good woman for 34 years now had seven kids but I still like being alone it helps me stay focused positive and loving everybody else. Keep doing what you're doing you'll go far Lad. God bless Y'all and much peace and love from northeast Texas 🤠✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🇺🇸✨🧸✨
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I just recently started watching. Love it. Keep on truck in’!
Every part of this video made me feel like you were talking STRAIGHT TO ME. Chills man! Appreciate your content and allowing your self to be REAL even in front of a camera.
Seriously this is how I feel all the time.. ppl are always asking me why I take so many walks alone and "adventures" Alone. I just prefer it. I love people too don't get me wrong but yah. This hit home. Thanks Mav
I too am an introvert and can relate to everything you talked about and also totally agree with you. Thanks for the reminder that I’m not alone and that there are others who feel the same way!!!!!
i completely get this. thanks for all you do Mav. Helping me through some hard times, I appreciate it.
This resonates with me so much. I can be the nicest and friendliest person around others, but the whole time, even among friends and family, I am thinking of what I can do on my own.
As a fellow introvert I can totally relate and I have early on reached a point where I got over people challenging my need for alone time and slowly everybody either accepted it or those few who didn’t, are no more a part of my life.
People that matter don't care,
And people that care don't matter.
go outside
Grew up with three sisters and four brothers and rarely was there a moment of solitude. My parents had a van they used for camping and that was my go-to spot. I'd sit/lay out there for hours on end reading (which was my favorite thing to do). As an adult I am very social and love my big family and group of friends. *But I enjoy solitude and try to get it as much as possible. So I can relate Mav.*
Being alone can be good for improving self love and it can also be depressing depends on the time of year. Being a trucker I’m alone 99% of the year so I’m use to it. I choose to be alone because of how people act now days. Cheers Mav 🍻
Great segment. So relatable. I get tremendous power, recharging and self confidence when I set off by myself. No phone and the fewer folks I see the better. It makes the next time I’m in a group that much more easier to tolerate and more positive. Knowing I can dip out on a trail or hike the next day is powerful stuff. Keep on truckin😎
You're one of my motivations for traveling solo. I used to be so scared that I'd be alone or embarrassed that I'm alone, and now, it's such a pain in the ass when someone else goes with me that I'd much rather be alone. 😹
When you are able to walk alone, you learn so much more about who you are. ✌🏻
This video completely spoke to my soul. Keep doing what you need to be healthy and happy, friend!
Mav, I’m proud of you man. For posting this. You talked about the courage it takes to go out to eat by yourself.. how about the courage it takes to make a video like this. I understand you Mav. Appreciate you sharing this with us! :)
Hi Mav! I'm old enough to be your grandmother but I love watching your adventures. I totally get how you prefer to be just with you! I am the same way even though I work with the public. When I come home to my sanctuary it is a slice of heaven. Keep on keepin on my friend!!
Nancy Jarrell
What a wholesome comment
My sentiments exactly!
Nancy
I feel same. He's a good young man.
Hi, I go to restaurants alone; I do like company sometimes. I'm a loner have been that way for years. Maverick just do you
I feel you on that introverted extrovert thing. Sometimes I think it’s an only-child thing (I’m an only child too).. Idk tho.. sometimes I feel like some people just don’t know how to be alone. Appreciate your content, Mav!
I think you're right. I also am an only child and have no issue being on my own and by myself. When I want interaction I have friends that I meet up with.
I have siblings but often find myself extrovert and introvert also. I live in the woods by myself. And like to be my own boss just like Mr. Mav. It's more of an in look conscious thing to me. You don't always need to give your energy to others. And simply people who can't be alone just haven't found some type of inner peace. And need others influences to survive.
Great stuff for making this video dude, been watching you for a few years. I'm definitely an introvert/extrovert too. big love to anyone out there feeling isolated
You get me through rough times man…love the channel fasho keep doing your thing!
I'm an introvert too. Even family gatherings take a lot out of me, and I can't wait to get back home (I live alone). I spend a majority of my time by myself, which is how I like it. However, a few years ago I went on vacation alone to Japan for two and a half weeks. The last two weeks of which I spent wandering all over Tokyo, the most populated city on the planet. I loved every minute of it. So I do have my extroverted moments.
I've always said there is a difference between being alone....and being lonely. You're doing just fine Mav! Keep on Truckin!
Love this and love your videos, it's also so helpful for anyone else feeling alone. We're here with you, appreciate your channel 💖
I’m currently in hospital right now and your videos are helping me through a really hard time where I can’t see family and friends, I never feel alone watching your vids Mav, Keep On Trucking!
Sending good wishes for your healing. xx
@@debbiepalmer1094 thank you xx
You sound like a perfectly normal extroverted introvert. And you're right, being able to function well on your own is extremely important. Bravo!
Happiness is something that occurs. Contentment is something that a person has. There are a lot of happy people out there that don't have contentment. Nice to have that, isn't it Mav?
Absolutely love this, you've got such wholesome postive content. keep up the vids and keep on truckin!! Thank you for your sharing your life and experiences with the world boio
Keep being you man. Pretty wise for a young guy. I started watching these from my interest in tiny house living but somehow got dragged in to your car camping adventures. Your personality and general calm and respectful demeanor kept me coming back. So I went ahead and subscribed! Thanks for everything!
💕😇 From 1 introvert to another…thank you for all you do MAV! My coping mechanism for being an introvert was to be the opposite…a social butterfly when others were around! One day I searched 🏕 and your video popped up and been watching you every since. I’m very afraid to be in the woods, so I watch you have fun. Now…I tell the truth! It’s my free will to protect my mental health. Outside my immediate family that understands me I like to be alone..and there’s nothing wrong with that! 💕😇
Honestly, this may have been my most favorite video you’ve made. Honest and true to yourself, keep doing what makes you and this channel great brotha!
Sometimes I just watch a Mav video and that’s enough for me not to feel alone in a day.
Being alone isn’t that bad.
Thanks Mav for the content.
Thanks Mav. I really needed to hear a lot of what you spoke about here. It's ok to be alone, at least for me. But I'm always with my dog, so I never really feel alone. Being comfortable with myself is a good place to be, and it took me much longer than you to get there. Safe journeys to you and may the year ahead be your best ever. Keep on truckin!
Anybody else here to relax before bed? Mav, your videos are so calming!
Hey Mav! I’m an Introvert too and totally relate to all you said. Sometimes we just need time away from people to recharge or do our own thing. :)
Great video and thank you for candidly discussing mental health, and how you do what works best for you! Being comfortable alone is actually a skill but you are also accurate about adding in that social circulation as important, too. Thanks for your videos!
such a genuine soul, always enjoy your content. Keep on Truckin MAV!!!!!
Dang I felt this video in my bones. It's been hard to help my close family understand that 1. I'm safe doing stuff like what you do and 2. I genuinely enjoy doing solo road trips, camping trips, hiking, etc. Thanks for always being an inspiration, Mav.
Yup! I remember one time telling a co-worker (in front of other people) where I'd be going and what I'd be doing (rappelling a slot canyon alone). He said, you should tell someone where you will be going. I said.... I thought I just did? It was funny but also kind of a truth.
Social and human interaction is everything. Like Mav says, even having breakfast in a cafe with other people around can be enough for the day. Without that, we're lost.
Comes down to preference.
Actually, many people do not feel that “ social and human interaction is everything “ Many introverts feel it is not a necessity at all. Most cannot comprehend that others have different needs.
Not really lol. I love life more without social interaction. Don't feel lost at all. Stop generalizing
Can really relate on the "eating on your own" topic. Moving to a new city, it used to feel weird eating at a place by yourself, seeing your videos when you do everything mostly by yourself, really helped me realize that it isn't a big deal.
Keep on truckin
Thanks for picking up this topic Mav. Actually I never asked myself, why you’re doing all of this alone. Obviously because for me it’s seems a valid thing and I do travel alone abroad 5-6 times a year. I love it and never feel lonely, as long as I’m okay with myself.
Mav! You’re a good dude, humble, respectful-overall the real deal. There are so many content providers that could learn a lesson or three! Great channel-Great job!
I'm in my mid 50's and retired. It took me a long time to realize that being alone is much better than being with the wrong person. I thought I would end up being alone for the rest of my life and it nearly happened and I was fine with it. But that changed for the better a couple of years ago. If you meet the right woman you will know it. Adopting a shelter dog or cat is a great remedy for loneliness as both you and the animal win if you have the ability to take care of it.
Early 40s here. I know exactly what you're saying. I was scared to live alone when I was younger. I thought my inner thoughts would do me in without someone to break the silence. I was wrong. I bought a house on 2 acres 10 years ago for 28k...not a palace, but it's paid off, and I can reno now. Also got a couple of hard luck case cats from the SPCA. Just socializing them has been a few years battle already. Maybe I'll meet someone, maybe I already know them. Who knows. Sometimes I post long, convoluted responses to Reddit or YT then delete them. I won't delete this one. We are Stardust. We are Golden.
@@Shawn-my2fn you and Kevin know what’s up we’re all put here for a good time 🤞🏽
Yup. It’s way better to be alone and wish you were with somebody than it is to be with somebody and wish you were alone.
@@97I30T Well said!
Love you Mav and you inspire me to get up and get out , always was afraid to go eat alone and now like you said it’s second nature to me , sometimes you need to be alone and find you again. Keep on trucking brother
Really resonate with this Mav. Thank you for sharing!
I remember when I first read about introverts & realized I wasn't alone & that what I felt was shared. I love my time alone & since I retired, it's even better. Congrats on figuring so much of these important life lessons so early. ✌
This is me lol. I struggle with lonliness at times but being around people is draining. So its a double edged sword. Its hard finding that balance within yourself. Your videos are like therapy to me lol, keep doing your thing man .
You need to realize I mean you've already done half the work because you realize that people are draining. But you also have to realize that you don't need other people. They might need you but you don't need them. There's other things you can do with your life to make it fulfilling without depending upon others and what they think. Make them accept you for you, instead of them expecting you to accept them.
Same! Well said!
I had a 1970 VW bus that I customized with copper paint and I redid the interior I did the exterior but the one thing I painted on the outside was "Be who you are not what people expect you to be. " I painted that like 40 years ago and I still think it holds true
Thank you Mav. You were simply answering questions, but this video has been very inspiring for me and my own mental health. I find myself around a group of friends and relate to the micro managing yourself… feeling if nothin is done you’re getting no where, spiraling out is never fun. Thank you for sharing Mav!
So much love for you dude, been here since 2020 you made quarantine better
“Sometimes I can feel alone in a room full of people” I’m sure this will resonate with a whole lot of people - it certainly does with me. What a great, positive video. Thank you for sharing.
Ditto!!
I’m a trucker and I agree introvert is a big reason I like this job, I love my family but being on the road alone by myself and good music of course is something I enjoy, but the downside of that is finding a partner in life I’m so comfortable and used to be alone that I kinda have a problem when others outside my family come too close
Same lol 😂 although I’m not a trucker but I do work for a trucking company
I feel ya there fellow driver.
Fellow driver here and I agree 100%, my father was the same. I am now pursuing a degree in nursing and it is difficult having to deal with so many people on the daily.
Wish you happiness and success👊Such a great guy!
I really needed that. And am genuinely happy after this video. Thanks a lot! x
