    As an introvert, I never knew what real loneliness felt like until I, at age 19, moved to another country to study and had a hard time keeping up with Uni, because of the language barrier and first semester problems. All the authorities told me to find a study group, and it would make things easier. It sounds so easy, but is soo hard for me to do. I was so stressed because of studying, so I couldn't make free time for my hobbies, which kept me happy all the other years. (I do have friends, but I always try to stay emotional independent, so my happiness doesn't depend on others' presence). My only way through these lonely times was my two kittens, who gave me a reason to stay up early every day and to just keep going. I try to catch up on my earlier hobbies and always have some kind of spot going on.

The space in a flat is often even for housecats enough, you must just watch out for that cats are allowed. (There are great TH-cam videos about keeping cats happy in small space) I have a friend who lived for about 1 year and a half alone, while being in highschool. At some point she totally lost having a regular schedule and even past out once, because she would forget to eat, because of stress. She is since this summer a happy mom of two kitten and everything changed. The cats really help having a good routine going, so you don't get stuck at a bad state of mind easily.

I used to think that there was something wrong with wanting to be alone, because everybody around me told me that being alone sucks, but I couldn't disagree more. I love being by myself, I enjoy the time spend alone and years later, I finally don't care if people think I'm "strange", I've embraced myself and I have discovered who I am.

      You’re so lucky and strong to have forgotten about those words. *warning : there is a long rant coming up. stop reading now if you don’t care* One time at school, I was joking around with one of my “friends” because she was interrupting our game and talking over top of us so I told her to shut up and stop being stupid, which is my regular vocabulary, and she told me I was rude, twice. And I still haven’t forgotten when she said that, the way she said that. So I’m just constantly wondering “Am I rude?” and I hate myself for dwelling on that but I just can’t stop thinking about it. I made so many mistakes in primary school. I made horrible friends. I thought I was smart but how did I mess up so wrong? And on top of that they all tease me for liking kpop and I’ve tried to play it off but sometimes it really hurts, so I’ve learned to just not talk about it. Istg my toxic “friends” messed me up so bad. I can’t wait to go to high school and forget about them all, restart my life with a clean slate. But I can’t help but think about “what if it happens again? what if I make the same mistakes and make toxic and fake friends again?” i don’t know what to do. but it’s not like anyone would care anyway. If I post this comment I’ll hate myself even more for burdening other people with my own problems. Thanks for reading, I guess. Happy New Year

I might not be the right person to give anyone some advice, but I can tell you something based on my own experience... People come and go, and if you're not comfortable being who you truly are in front of your "friends", then they're not your friends, but I'm sure that you will find people that will accept and love you just the way you are, you just need to be patient and be yourself. I've felt as an outcast my entire life for liking things that other people my age find boring or even ridiculous, but I have learned that as long as I'm happy with myself, I will eventually find peace outside of my own company as well. Don't be afraid. We all make mistakes, no one's perfect, but acknowledging that we mess up sometimes helps us grow. Don't believe everything that people tell you about you, I'm sure you're a great person and you'll be fine. You'll find people you feel comfortable around and when you look back, you'll see those comments as lessons learned, the reflection of your growth as a person.
      Happy new year!

    As humans, most of us need human connection, but we shouldn't need it ALL the time in order to not fall apart. It is important to know who you are as an individual and feel comfortable being with yourself, even if you are someone who likes to spend most of their time with others. It is absolutely okay to want to be around people a lot, as long as you aren't doing it as a way to avoid yourself. Thank you for the video Zoe, it was beautiful!

    • @aliceliddell4062
      @aliceliddell4062 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Nothing is wrong with you feeling this way. I have the theory that being surrounded by a group of people while you are alone feeds into our subconscious anxious mind and underlines the already doubtful thoughts of „Everyone is with someone but me. That must mean nobody likes me or wants to spend time with me.“ I felt this way for a long time myself.
      I found that talking about such feelings with my friends helped me a lot. I recently had an hour-long phone call with a dear friend of mine about anxieties and anxious thoughts that we had, and surprisingly, we had a lot in common in that regard. And it helped us both feel understood and less alone with such problems. Talking about this also strengthened our understanding of each other and our friendship just got tighter.
      Another thing that helped me was going shopping for myself. I really really love doing that now. I dress up a little and put makeup on to feel pretty and good about myself, and then I do some windowshopping, finding cute things I like and treating myself a little. It doesn’t have to be long, or to be something big. Listen to music that makes you feel good too.
      But what helped me most in the end is accepting that nothing that I feel is weird or invalid. I am not the only person experiencing this. I am not abnormal for feeling lonely surrounded by a crowd. No matter the reason or how stupid I may think it is to feel a certain way, at the end of the day, whatever I feel is valid because I feel it and it affects me. Imagine someone worrying over something trivial and unnecessary. They know it is trivial and unnecessary. Does it make their worries go away? No. And they still feel worried, and that’s okay.
      Hope this could help a little. I’m sorry if I’m not making much sense sometimes, English isn’t my first language and I might have put my points a bit difficult^^“

    As a huge introvert, I really love (and need) to spend time alone. It is so much more peaceful and freeing. The times where I was the most lonely were when I was surrounded by people, but when I am alone, I feel good. I don't wait for friends to have a schedule that lines up with mine, or to find new friends to do the things I want to do in life. That new coffee shop I've been meaning to try? I went alone. That concert from my favorite band that none of my friends listen to? I am going to see them alone. Weather you're lonely or not, there is comfort and freedom in being alone.

    This is a topic very close to me. I’ve been struggling with social anxiety for years because I was always judged for being an introvert. I felt so useless and awful when I saw my acquaintances hanging out with their friends because this pressure from my surroundings made me think that this is true happiness, if you don’t have this, you’re a complete loser. Thankfully, I feel much better now. I like spending time with myself and I don’t make myself do all these things just to fit into some “standards”. Now I don’t really fear being alone because I don’t fear myself. Thank you for speaking about this!💞

    I had much more fun alone than being with a group of people. As an introvert, being with other people is not bad, however, it greatly decreases my own energy at the end of the day. Being alone gives me so much imagination as to what I'd like to do to have fun with my self. It can get lonely sometimes but it's better than hanging out with people who don't accept me that much. I mean not all of them LMAO, when I go out once in a while and to talk to other people. I can talk for hours and socialize, the downside is that it drains me so much LMAO

    Even when I went to public school and was around my friends, I still didn't feel whole. There were times where I just went somewhere by myself and I realized that people had been making me feel like I had to be around people all the time. I think that's why I didn't even know what I liked or disliked because I tried to be with people and talk about things they wanted to talk about and I forgot about myself most of the time. I'm kinda glad I was homeschooled, because I discovered so many things about myself and I could do more things and not be judged. I love watching your videos because I feel empowered and calm someway and mostly understood by someone who doesn't even know me.💜

    these days i was doubting myself, i grew up in a family of extroverts who pretty much turned me into believing that without people i am not love worthy nor i can be happy. My dad, who always understood me, passed away a year ago and because of the holidays its healing for me to have time with myself instead of attending lots of parties. people around me think im lonely when i am just alone, trying to connect with myself. I think we as a society really need to stop pushing relationships as being the most important goal of your life. We all find contentment in very different ways and i definitely know i enjoy more my friends and family going outs when they are not based on avoiding the being alone feeling.

    A few weeks ago, our English teacher asked us if humans can live without friends. Everyone said no and agreed with the teacher except me I said yes. She caught my answer since I was at the front and asked me why. I told her friends are not a necessity for a human to live. Humans can have friends if they want but they sure are able to live without friends. I’m the loner and quiet kid in our class and my whole class is new to this school including me so no one knows me well till now. I used to be like I can’t live without my friends and stuff but changed drastically in the almost two years of quarantine because sh*t kinda happened with my old friends. Anyway, I felt like I was the only weird one for thinking like that. The teacher moved on from my answer and changed the topic since the atmosphere was getting awkward. I love being alone. I explore myself and get to know myself better when I’m alone. Even my family always questions me when I’m alone and tells me to go sit or do anything with them. But they don’t understand I need some alone time. I can’t be the same person who everyone wants me to be when my energy’s running out. Oh Also I’m an introvert and I have anxiety so double the trouble. Why do I feel like I sound old, I’m only sixteen lol. My point is (I hope so cause I lost it while writing this long comment) I’m not alone cause I’m lonely, I’m alone cause I like it. And my friends are my family I don’t know why this fact always makes people shocked or something. English is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes. If you read till the end thank you very much & have a 🍪 this was long and you did great. Remember No one’s gonna love you if you don’t love yourself first. Peace out.

      You shouldn’t apologize for your English. I understood you clearly and can relate to some degree to you. I also used to try really hard to have friend or put on that social butterfly persona (when I get easily drained by social interaction). Although I love meeting people and making friends, I learned to enjoy my own company and love being alone.

    THANK YOU ZOE.
    This video addresses something I've always sought to achieve for myself, "Being alone, not lonely." At first, this thought was perhaps a defensive mechanism for me, to prevent the tide of hurt from washing over me. It can come from so places and people -- family, friends who don't really want you around, being left out of plans, FOMO. The sources of loneliness were endless, and all I wanted was to be accepted.
    I was eventually (and thankfully) able to realise that I was the one I would spent my entire life with. Other people come and go, and chasing after their acceptance was not only draining in the moment, but also futile in the long run. Maybe one day I'll seek someone else's approval again, but for now I'll prioritise my own.
    I've started to accept myself, and I'm proud of it. Proud that I chose me, because I find comfort in my solitude.

    This video really hit home. I have a very small friend group so I'm often alone, and I feel loneliness a lot. I'm trying to choose myself like you said, but it feels like there's an invisible barrier blocking myself from doing things I need and want to. This video helped a lot though, thank you for the overall video and ideas! To anyone who reads this, I hope you have a great day/night :)

Then she told me she works at an ice cream shop and her break just finished but invited me into the shop to give me some free ice cream lol. We didn’t exchange names or anything and we might never meet again but it was a nice interaction with a stranger😊

  • @aliceliddell4062
    @aliceliddell4062 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I am proud and happy to say that I reached a point in my life where I‘m so very comfortable being by myself. I used to have it as a kid and teenager but sort of lost it in my late teens/early twenties when I started University. I didn’t move out from home and I made new friends quickly, but somehow, I felt so lonely in my struggle to keep up with my new lifestyle. I discovered that I have some form of anxiety that made me overthink not only myself but my self-worth. I tied my worth and love to another person, and I still didn’t quite cut that tie, but it’s getting so much better. I’m comfortable being with myself again because I learned to become more honest and forced myself to do hard things. I’m still anxious, but I can cope with that now.
    And in that process, I really appreciated inspirational people like Zoe on TH-cam. People that showed me that it’s not impossible to get better, and that it all starts with yourself, not with others. Thank you Zoe, for inspiring not only me but so many others to do and be better in your humorous but also serious and well-researched ways. Following you was one of the things that kept me happy and inspired this year, and I’m looking forward to your content in 2022.
