I think 'loneliness' is the wrong word to use. I am nearly always alone, but I am never lonely. There are so many things I have to do, I just don't have time to be lonely. I paint pictures, I write books and poetry, I tend my garden, I make my own cosmetics and candles, I had made a website but I deleted it last year because it was too expensive to keep going. I am 81, and quite fit, I eat well and exercise. I do OK! And I love the work of Carl Jung!
It will destroy you after a while. Human need social interactions for his/her cognitive functions to work properly. I know, from experience, that it is a nice feeling, not being abused anymore, but don't isolate yourself. Try to develop trust in people once more, so you'll get even better, than by being only by yourself. But don't get discouraged by failure. It is hard work to develop healthy relation to people after abusive one, it is even harder after prolonged isolation, but it is worth it.
....and a brave one, for a variety of potential reasons. Good on you. May your social self reemerge as your soul desires and chooses. Best on your journey.
I’m 74 now. Nine years ago I broke with my wife. She moved to another city. Then I felt the urge to seek psychotherapy. My therapist told me that sometimes a person lives with another and even decades later doesn’t know them. “Now you have the opportunity to live with yourself. Catch the occasion to know yourself.” Perfect!
Ok agreed but your therapist did not say to remain alone for the rest of your life. Anyway, there are many advantages to living alone but it can be a risk too of developing bad habits or ending up feeling lonely because of not capable of being alone.
Isolation is not always negative. You're not alone, you're with yourself. I found that when I realized this people I value entered my life. We can't make meaningful connections with others unless we make a meaningful connection with ourselves.
I've found a vast difference between enjoying one's company and going through an existential crisis - or what some philosophers call "the dark night of the soul". You'll know about it if you've ever been through the latter!
I’ve isolated mostly voluntarily for 12 years. In the beginning it was necessary due to abusive relationships. But now it’s because I enjoy my space and freedom to be who I am. Early on in my healing journey I had a therapist tell me something I’ve always remembered, “There’s a difference between being alone and being lonely.” Once I healed that loneliness, I was able to find peace and comfort in my isolation.
@immahoodlum6157 too bad we haven’t been as fortunate as many. To have real support not family who puts you away in a closed box because you don’t fit their ideas of worthy of being alive and having real feelings ignored. I have no wonderful people in my life. And I am a kind person. Where are they for us? Sinead O’Connor begged for help for 2 years stranded without money or support in USA. She states that one million people in the world are suffering with mental illness are like her abandoned without support. In fact Dr Phil really did her wrong. It’s in her book but he got away with it all. 8 million people have mental illness in California! I’m one. My family has abandoned me. Tortured me in their departure from my life. The only one who checks in is my ex husband. Where’s the good people here now? I weep for my poor people who have abandoned me. Just because I have mental illness. Peace just wanted to be free I look for justice and see none
Same. All my kids are grown. I finally retired. I absolutely love being alone. I have gone through several phases, a rebellious teenager, a dance of freedom. I am afraid to even tell my kids how happy I am internally.
Yes each and every day more folks are figuring out being and acceptiing alone is a blessing, Of course we have our cats and dogs as best BEST friends,, teaching us to give and receiuve love, I have my 500 bk collection + 400 classical cd collection and a wife, Lets not forget Yeshua our very best friend
Day after day after day, learning that what one abhors in others is our shadow and to embrace this knowledge of the extent of our baseness and then begin to learn how to master it? Yes a treat A wickedly bittersweet tasting treat of sorts.
I spend all my time alone, more and more because i became sick and couldn't go out, i have become used to it, i talk to myself sometimes, watch lots of utube, paint, draw, i feel like i am realising it doesn't matter if people dislike me or think i am strange or have strange ideas, its because i am more advanced than some!❤
We’re healthier, live longer, and are happier from being social.. As a child, I was told and often reminded not to talk to strangers & the habit stuck for much of my life. My husband was not social either and we were joined at the hip for 35 years until he passed from dementia. As a single senior I suddenly became a social person & then evolved into a super social person and started writing in a daily gratitude journal. Then evolved into a happy, grateful, social person who spreads joy & sincere smiles to all I meet; chatting with strangers, dancing, loving many friends and feeling loved and valued by almost everyone in return! My purpose in life is to spread kindness & joy, being a living example to others who may not have figured it out yet. life is what we make it. Blessings to all!💗🙋♀️😄💃🏼🌺🙏💓😂
I crave my silence and solitude. I do find white noise and the sound of rushing wind and water meditative, soothing, and insightful. I write, read, and study in my bedroom for around 23 hours every day. I want not to ever leave my self-creative, self-designed sanctuary. I have now filled my phone message taker to capacity. I answer phone numbers I recognize. I invite such documentaries into my self-imposed isolation. In my mind, I travel far and wide. It's wonderful!❤
You sound like me!! Except that I live in the garage! I also have a garden and love to paint, as well as writing and reading. Whale noises are another sound I like to relax to.
I love being alone. I live alone and have no lovers, not for years. Nobody calls around. I have no connection with family and I have absolutely no friends. It’s amazing. I just spent the last 6 months deep cleaning my place and I wouldn’t have it any other way now. It’s the best feeling having nobody to answer to.
@@Eirene628 That's valid. I think this topic is related to buddhism & vedanta, both of which are premised upon that our suffering is in our heads (we do it to ourselves: expectations of health, sustenance, other people are premeditated resentments. Nothing's permanent, and we go through life craving what isn't, clinging to what is). In that sense, is it worse to be isolated and become honest about who you are in the moment, not living in stories we tell ourselves about the past/future (and then become unhealthy without a support system)? Or, better to be engaged with others, being ego-supplied by them, supplying their egos, preoccupied with who we are among them (were, will be, won't be, could've been, if only.... that's how the self-talk goes typically). Then we don't appreciate our healthy existence as much as we might if experience ourselves as we are (typically done through more isolation, retreat). I belive that the buddha's "middle way" is the answer to everything. It's probably not good to make isolation a way of life (the ultimate goal). But, being "normally" social, engaged isn't great either. There is a middle way of awakening to who you are (or aren't), and then engaging in that way, teaching others. It's a paradox where we can be too prepared for health crises (and millions of other crises). We don't exist authentically that way. If you integrate with yourself (your dark side, your subconscious which is 95% of your brain. Your 5% conscious part is the recepter of what emerges from that, its job is to make sense of what emerges), then bad health (or any crisis) can be accepted with less ego injury knowing that we've existed with our true self more than we would've if we tried to be ready for what comes. (But, you're right that completely tuning out isn't entirely right either. It's a balance. I would say we're wired to err more on the side of beng in contol, prepared, blotting out who we really are, not living authentically than we are to err on the side of turning into a helpless vegetable. The risk isn't the latter, it's the former.).
Carl Jung says "...the highest and most decisive experience of all... is to be alone with his own self, or whatever else one chooses to call the objectivity of the psyche. The patient must be alone if he is to find out what it is that supports him when he can no longer support himself. Only this experience can give him an indestructible foundation."
@SaintHoseaHermitage ah Oo. I remember seating in to Dr. Dido's class every year she teaches and she required me doing all the papers required in our class. But I wasn't comfortable with being alone. Especially that time when my salsa classes were getting busier. But the dances helped me heal.

I have several great friends, but I love my solitude. It’s fun to be with others in person, but I prefer to be alone. I meditate and say prayers of gratitude, peace, forgiveness and love for myself and others every a.m. without fail. I love being alone, in a place of deep peace. Sometimes I get lonely, but lots of friends, and clients around the world who call me for psychic consultation, make me feel helpful, useful, loved and appreciated. I’m fortunate to live in a spacious, art-filled home (my own and others’) with big windows looking out at a pretty, natural landscape. I was married for 25 happy years with my soul mate, but he died in a mt. climbing accident several years ago. I never seem to need anyone else. I “should” be “unhappy” but I’m not. I’ve learned so much about myself -and life.
Wow, this is the most insightful explanation of Carl Jung’s theories I've ever heard! The idea that isolation is essential for true self-realization is so powerful, and it makes me rethink how I view loneliness. Your presentation was deeply thought-provoking and has given me a new perspective on my own journey
@AlanWattsInspiration-v6i I agree 👍. For the first time in my life, I am not run by children or jobs. I absolutely love my time alone which is a huge amount. I read, I learn, and I talk on the phone to close friends. This is exactly where I am supposed be. Yay.
Quite a disturbing art collection on display. Lonliness is becoming a real problem in society. In Denmark if you can find 25 people who share an interest with you, for example 'Sound of music' sing-alongs, you can go to your local council and get a 'Grant' to pay for Hall rental and a piano player. That way, 25 people aren't sitting alone at home being sad and burning fuel. That's real social reform, It would be nice to see it spread.
www.hhs.gov/about/news/2023/05/03/new-surgeon-general-advisory-raises-alarm-about-devastating-impact-epidemic-loneliness-isolation-united-states.html I agree with you David. I am reminded of the U.S. Surgeon General's report from 2023 that I read and support. Thank you for your thoughtful response. We are social creatures, yet society seems increasingly bent upon separation and division rather than unity and collectivity.
Second time around with this. It’s been many years since I’ve been there. Here I am again. Feels familiar. Never understood what was happening, nevertheless went through it. Sometimes you’re greater than your environment and all it means, you know what I mean. You know who and what you are. Never forget it persevere.
I tend to be more mentally and emotionally healthy when I am alone and not interacting with very many people. And I honestly prefer it. I don't feel like myself until I am more isolated.
I almost agree on everything said here except the loneliness part. Indeed, in times when I feel the need to be in my reclusion or isolation, I do not equate it to loneliness though there were times that loneliness drives me to reclusion. Not because I just want to dwell into my loneliness but because it brings me to a greater reflection, of seeing myself, becoming aware of what was within the unconscious and with that enlightenment, brings peace and joy. And sometimes, when I felt healed and at peace, I wanted to linger in this solitude to enjoy the bliss of this experience, especially that moment of transcendence where I find creativity in my writings and in my creative works. Yes, part of the isolation can be triggered by loneliness and perhaps depression; but more often, it is triggered with my conscious effort to dive deep into my unconscious, in my meditations, my prayers, my reflections, and my dances.
They are referring to a prolonged period of being alone that surpasses the occasional times you do choose to connect. Go a whole year without being around people you are close with and disconnect. Your only interactions are the people you see at your grocery store, and the rest it’s just you and your mind all day everyday. It will go beyond what you are usually comfortable with, because that’s how you start the reflecting and getting real deep within. You will know it if and when it happens to you. There is a difference, you will feel it.
Sometimes isolation happens to you and isn’t a choice of going into isolation for self reflection or creative process. Sometimes people leave you, environment changes or people pass away and you feel like you are a victim of isolation and the loneliness sets in. In that case, it takes a while to realize you may have been in need of isolation and the universe caused you to be isolated involuntarily. I say this from experience because I am going through loss that has led to a sort of isolation right now. And at first I felt loneliness until I realized that this could be a moment of growth.
The Universe is only a part of it. It doesn’t isolate you. Your choices do. Even if guided by the “Universe”. Predetermined life is not the whole truth. You have agency within it.
This is why I'm trying to accept saying "My decisions are the reason I'm in this suckey part of life" vs "The Universe is a piece of shit for putting me in this bullshit part of life".
Whoever made this video I thank you and appreciate it. I thank algorithms to put it into my timeline. Almost every word was like liberation from lies I had in my mind. I really felt like I’m being panfished and that something is wrong with me. Have been really isolated for 5 years already. No, I’m not in prison 😂 It has been so hard but yes I have seen my shadows and got free from lot of stuff. 🎉😊
A comforting voice with a fabulously philosophical narrative. Beautiful artwork. Thank you so much. I've been feeling despairingly lonely for over two years, and it all makes great sense now. 🙌
I can do long stretches on my own relatively speaking, but I don't want to consistently do that. Id prob get a bit cray-cray. I need to be warm and dry with a roof overhead. I need clean water to drink and sufficient food to eat. I like some people too, so I go to work every day to meet those needs. But I do recharge on my own and in nature outdoors. I need to be alone to do that well. Some people, places and things can be thoroughly draining. I'm grateful I can choose. There will come a time soon enough that I can't choose. I won't be alone though. I'll just be learning something new in my own way at my own pace.
It is well said!. Isolation is very important tool to get to know yourself. Not only that,the authentic self emerged! Now, I'm very cautious whom I envited into my life and into my scared space. I enjoyed bing alone never called lonely nor, I need someting or someone to fulfilled my life. I'm doing great by myself without others influence in my life. Thank you
Isolation simply means not being with other people. You could be surrounded and relating to all forms of nature, but if you're not with another human, they call it isolation. When you have access to great imagination and Collective consciousness, being with other humans can be inhibiting. Human Society cannot help but to homogenize that which is different or non compliant... which makes isolation a blessed alternative to becoming something else
I just can’t believe that I went to go be with my extended family thinking that I was finally going to have that which I believe is what kids/young people would normally have, a family home, only to be met with this sort of rejection where perhaps it’s all because they raised my sibling and not me. My aunt would be like “we raised him since he was a baby”. That to me is cruel, considering we never chose our parents or who raised us, and we go to our families with the expectation that we would receive the most basic needs/desires from family, like love, care, treatment, family home life, etc. but it’s incredibly traumatic for me at least, when family decides to either deny all of that or can only provide those things conditionally and transactionally like it’s some kind of quid pro quo, and then after all the rumination of how I was treated, finally come to the rude awakening that perhaps it was all because they raised my sibling and they never raised me…. I never chose my narcissist father, and my brother never chose our aunt and uncle. and yet people I try speaking to about this trauma they act like jerks and invalidate me by saying things like “well they raised your brother!” “oh I don’t mean to be cold! I don’t mean to be cold!” “you are not your brother.” and they make me feel like I’m the bad or guilty one just because I wanted to or tried to go live with my family… absolutely terrible…
Your comment brings to mind a verse from Kahlil Gibran; responding to a mother asking, “Speak to us of children”. [Answer:] Your children are NOT YOUR children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come THROUGH you, but not FROM you, and though they are with you, yet they belong NOT to you. …You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. … For life goes NOT backward nor tarries with yesterday. … [emphases mine]. Peace to you..
@@blank_earth I think I’m trying to say that both children and their parents/caregivers have to eventually let go of the parent-child relationship at some time in the future. (whether positive OR negative). Of course one should honor their parents, even tho they can, and do, screw up. I think Gibran is talking about Freedom; the letting go of the past so a new future can be born. (Thx for your question - made me think a bit more deeply about this!) Peace to You.
I feel very alone. My best cat friend died 3 months ago and it's been so dark.i have noticed more recently the lessons I have learnt through grief. I have always appreciated my own space but this has been on another level. I've felt alone even with people around, felt disconnected to human life and misunderstood and have reflected greatly. I find myself confronted by other peoples concern for my loneless however and this makes me feel really bad.
❤❤ I'm sorry for your loss, are you able to join a support group or a meditation group in your community? 🙏🏼 I hope you're ok, please keep your hope alive.
I'm happy being alone. I talk to the Lord and he confirms me. I study my Bible and I understand more and more. Knowledge is power. I know myself. I found real joy.
I love being alone, yes it's nice to interact sonetimes but the journey I have been on internally has been extremely painful yet liberating and now I am just this free spirit with no ties floating about the earth throwing some positivity around and it just feels like it's my authentic self. I am more creative alone as I have no distraction, I treat myself well, try to stay as fit as possible and take care of my body. What I neglected for so long was my mental health and my worth which I will always have to work on. Life our journey is a constant work in progress. It never truly ends but you must just flow with it! 🙏
I like being alone so I can do Jung's work which I have done since I was 24. My first therapist must have been a Jung fan because I started out with his concepts and I think Jung got it right. After a big dive into the shadow I have found that it takes about 6 months or so to integrate to where I am comfortable. There is a meme that says: You can't take down a woman who isn't afraid to eat alone, lose friends, or doesn't care about rejection and doesn't tolerate abuse.
It is what it's happening to me. I've been forced to be alone, than , I started to discovery myself , the real one. I am planning to do a solo trip i the nature , to discover even better who I really am. I hope all the questions and the fears that don't have any answers yet , will come to light.
You may wish to ask oneself- why am I being pulled? Guilt, saying yes when deep down one wishes to say no, fear of being disliked, or so many other reasons. When you come up with your true answer, you will feel at peace with it. All other reasons or fears will fall away. This is what I have found for me. You will find you. ❤
Same with me too. And the type of people who want to penetrate my barriers are low quality people. Confirms my need for isolation even more. Why cant people leave us alone.
@@1nilu1 The real enlightenment/growth is to be able to deal with these individuals and still have your peace. After all, you can't control their behaviors, only your own. This is what I'm currently dealing with and realizing that I need to look at perceived "barriers" or obstacles as an opportunity to learn and grow. When I feel resistance, I know I need to dig deep into myself. ❤
I enjoy being alone - solitude is so comfortable for me. I believe in a "Higher Power." Therefore, I have faith that we are never really alone. I love my friends and family, but to relax and feel at peace, I require solitude often.
The universe is not limited in its ways of disseminating knowledge ❤, consider everything and stop getting so pissed of when ones perspective doesn't match yours. Just go deeper as we know
What a wonderful thing to say. Our 2 rescue dogs are a huge comfort and blessing. Can't imagine life without them. Animals help ground us and keep our spirits high.
I've known these truths since I was little. Maybe I'm an old soul. I'm comfortable with it for the most part. I have problems like everyone. But I'm ok with just being me. I try to take the good with the bad.
Just to be clear, some people are just negative. Take what you can use and leave the rest..you never know what might save someone else, and possibly even you..❤✌️🌻🌱🦋
My circumstances have put me in isolation but I am.70 and I wish I was younger to do this kind lf introspection but I think I have this situation and go through it.
I've been practicing and then isolating for years. At this time, I don't know if it's just depression, finding creativity challenging. But my health doesn't let me do the typical things anymore nor do I really miss the meaningless of it all.
Loneliness pealed right before the lableak, suddenly there was this meaning, this collective mission, and people massively clung to it. This was one great illusion and an audience turned into lasting mass psychosis
💎FYI- If not for social media I would not have known anything about the Dark night of the soul, shadow work, Light work, awakening or anything I have been going through. Nobody was talking about this. Including my college curriculum in my Psychology degree. They flashed through it. Anyway mastering the gift of discernment is extremely important to learn, and learning how to research is essential and should be learned in Elementary and mastered in High School. To make a valuable difference in your advanced education. Investments in better Early Education curriculums are crucial for our future.💎 I am alone but not lonely
I was "stuck" in a situation with a person who was very, aggressively and maliciously, manipulative. Solitude is peace but I'm still hopeful for some ❤️ love.
There is a vast chasm of difference between alone and lonely. Loneliness generally comes about involuntarily and is seemingly without purpose, other than for the torture of one's soul.
@@bdsmtherapyisthekey Because calling him a psychologist already reveals someone who's not too knowledgeable about Jung. His history as a psychoanalyst in particular is foundational to all of his opinions. And, likely Jung never used the term "the Universe" to talk about the Collective or God; that's a fad term.
For myself, I explain to people that I have solitude surrounded by loneliness and use the loneliness as a tool for the solitude to speak about loneliness in a creative way, other than engaging in a destructive pattern of polarized emotional output, but I do not discount the loneliness for what it is as an individual indicator of true desires
No! Social isolation is NOT solitude. Don't conflate the joys of peaceful self-reflective quietude with rejection from society. If you are experiencing social isolation please seek help. Social isolation is detrimental emotionally, cognitively and to your physical health.... And it can be deadly to some people, so just remember to check in and ask ru okay? 🙏
I'm glad you made this distinction. I'm going through social isolation currently for almost 2 years and it's starting to dawn on me how unhealthy and potentially damaging it is and how I will have complications trying to reintegrate back into social settings.
I was going to mention expansions on the remark of ,yes to the first premises. Yet further into the video I am reminded that it's simply a question of moving to unbeknownst to me in completeness for years,that I just have such a different open emotional range than most in this region I have moved to a couple of years shy of a decade. And so yes a reordering and rediscovery of my true self has been ever-growing since about halfway through my time in this new region .
Don’t have to become anything. Just discover who who truly already are. That which you are looking for is where you are looking from.. Vedanta, Ramana Maharshi, Mooji, Ekhart Tolle.. 🙏
This was a deeply insightful and healing presentation to listen to, and helped me gain a new perspective on my life, feeling much better about life. Thankyou!.❤
It's all about how you perceive isolation the world will tell you that your depressed and try to sell you drug to deal with it, being alone is the best thing you can do get right with yourself u don't to have validation from the of society about how I live my life, most people just project their own bs on you because they can't handle being in their head cause they actually have the problem they are projecting at you so do what makes you happy not what pleases others....😊
Can you post links or titles to some of these images? Especially the one of the man with the exploding head and birds coming out. I couldn't find it anywhere.
We have the feeling of loneliness, because we truly don't understand who, and what we are, which is; Constant transformational evolving evolutionary indigenous beings to all there is.
There are two types loneliness and aloneness... Loneliness is attachment and misery... aloneness doesn't lack anything there's balance.. one is inside a bubble of magic.. deeply aware of the moment and not the past there is no need for another...content with self you are your best friend...
Loneliness can lead to alcohol consumption. We also are human beings who experience desire. Companionship is vital in dire situations (sickness, unexpected hardship or accidents). It is essential to have a safety net in place. I would also recommend a pet. We alone are not enough to give us reason to care about our essence or what we can offer to others or the world. Soul searching is possible without solitary confinement, which is the equivalent of torture. Human beings are pack animals and do not thrive alone for long periods of time.
Light and Darkness, can become one, it does not matter which one you start with as long as you see together as one on the left side and the other is on the right side, and your walking down middle you wouldn't hear anything but you'll see things that is within your mind.
just to be clear it’s a very cynical video that has nothing to do with Jung just capitalizing on the fact that most people are becoming lonely nowadays and it’s a cheap AI made grab
I watched the video. Though I had made some critique, I dare not to judge the author of this presentation. You may disagree but to be truly a student of Jung, you have to take it objectively and state where you disagree. Even Jung disagrees with his mentor, Freud. And there are students of Jung, who also disagrees with Jung. I have my own critique of Jung. But remember, the phenomenology of the psyche is not just a domain of single perspective. Your comment, as I see it, reveals a shadow you need to see deeper. I suggest you go and search more, and see what and why you make such judgment. I believe everything is just a projection, and you are projecting something that you see deep in yourself. So watch out.
oh I forgot to tell you that this video tells about Jung´s Individuation. It seems you know nothing of Depth Psychology. You have the courage to rant because you are hiding behind an anonymous profile, and perhaps you think you are invincible that you have that courage to devalue and invalidate this work. Gasslighting!!! lol Study and learn. and not just criticize without any basis.
@@globalheartwarming to get to the one, you have to experience the all. It's why understanding others can help you understand yourself, and vice-versa. If one does not understand themself, how could they understand others, it's a paradox.
az0 wrote, _"The same points repeated for 39 minutes."_ It's called repetition. And it's often how people learn. What specifically is your objection to repetition, if I may inquire? az0: _"I hate Ai"_ With all due respect, I don't think you know enough about AI to 'hate' it.
@@RichardHarlos I do, and do. However, I don't necessarily hate repetition, but in this instance I think it reached the limit of it's knowledge and instead of moving forward with exercises it's almost certainly not legally authorized to teach, it turned around into an infinite loop. Cut at 39 mins.
@@dionmcgee5610 Fair enough. But it's worth noting that 'the idea of 'limit' is pretty subjective. It may indeed have been more than you wanted or needed, but that might not be the case for another. I'm mostly agreeing with you, but that that caveat. And also... Communication is said to be a process: 1. I have something I want to share. 2. Because there are many ways to say the same thing, I should consider my intended hearer or audience, and tailor what I want to say to their level of understanding. 3. I 'encode' my message for that particular audience. At this point, I've done all I can. Now, it's the listener's or audience's turn to do their part: A. The need to pay attention to what's being said, particularly to the context in which something is said, and whatever nuance may be appropriate to the subject. B. They then need to 'decode' my message and do their best to understand not merely what I said, but also what I likely intended. C. If they disagree with something I said, they could of course launch into a criticism, but more helpful for all concerned is to *ask clarifying questions.* So, something like: "This repetition really challenged my desire to stay engaged. Anyone else feel that way? And, if the narrator is reading these comments, did you have a specific goal in mind when you chose to repeat this much?" This fosters a conversation, and leads to a more mutual understanding. It can happen in one go-round, or it may take several. But to engage this way is to benefit all around. I think that's a much better aim than to be contrary without even a single instance of seeking clarity prior to criticism.

I think 'loneliness' is the wrong word to use. I am nearly always alone, but I am never lonely. There are so many things I have to do, I just don't have time to be lonely. I paint pictures, I write books and poetry, I tend my garden, I make my own cosmetics and candles, I had made a website but I deleted it last year because it was too expensive to keep going. I am 81, and quite fit, I eat well and exercise. I do OK! And I love the work of Carl Jung!
Thank for posting this.
@@anthonyjude4726 i bet when you was younger you arent but at youre age its more common unless you live youre entire life alone
I think the better word is aloneness. I cherish it
Sometimes solitude is a choice especially when you came from narcissistic abuse. Its liberating.
It will destroy you after a while. Human need social interactions for his/her cognitive functions to work properly.
I know, from experience, that it is a nice feeling, not being abused anymore, but don't isolate yourself. Try to develop trust in people once more, so you'll get even better, than by being only by yourself. But don't get discouraged by failure. It is hard work to develop healthy relation to people after abusive one, it is even harder after prolonged isolation, but it is worth it.
....and a brave one, for a variety of potential reasons. Good on you. May your social self reemerge as your soul desires and chooses. Best on your journey.
@@universeslapit will only destroy you if you focus on the expectations of society. Otherwise, it's super easy and barely an inconvenience.
This is true

I’m 74 now. Nine years ago I broke with my wife. She moved to another city. Then I felt the urge to seek psychotherapy. My therapist told me that sometimes a person lives with another and even decades later doesn’t know them. “Now you have the opportunity to live with yourself. Catch the occasion to know yourself.”
Perfect!
Ok agreed but your therapist did not say to remain alone for the rest of your life. Anyway, there are many advantages to living alone but it can be a risk too of developing bad habits or ending up feeling lonely because of not capable of being alone.
So very true, I'm turning 40. I was with my late husband for 15 years and didn't know him at all.
The real question is: do you know yourself?
@pippipster6767 everyday I am learning, lifelong journey

What's worse is living with ourselves 50, 60, or 70 years and not knowing ourselves. It's literally a life long journey.
Isolation is not always negative. You're not alone, you're with yourself. I found that when I realized this people I value entered my life. We can't make meaningful connections with others unless we make a meaningful connection with ourselves.
I've found a vast difference between enjoying one's company and going through an existential crisis - or what some philosophers call "the dark night of the soul". You'll know about it if you've ever been through the latter!
Well said.
How thought provoking!
I'm living it. You are SO correct. 💥
Yes! Absolutely agree!
Isolation is a double edged sword. While it can on occasion be difficult, it can also be a relief not having to deal with other people.
I’ve isolated mostly voluntarily for 12 years. In the beginning it was necessary due to abusive relationships. But now it’s because I enjoy my space and freedom to be who I am. Early on in my healing journey I had a therapist tell me something I’ve always remembered, “There’s a difference between being alone and being lonely.” Once I healed that loneliness, I was able to find peace and comfort in my isolation.
I don't find being alone dark, I find it peaceful.
The more I’m alone the more I’m enjoying my isolation… this truly is the best part of my life… people have never felt safe for me…
blessed u r!
@immahoodlum6157 too bad we haven’t been as fortunate as many. To have real support not family who puts you away in a closed box because you don’t fit their ideas of worthy of being alive and having real feelings ignored. I have no wonderful people in my life. And I am a kind person. Where are they for us? Sinead O’Connor begged for help for 2 years stranded without money or support in USA. She states that one million people in the world are suffering with mental illness are like her abandoned without support. In fact Dr Phil really did her wrong. It’s in her book but he got away with it all.
8 million people have mental illness in California!
I’m one.
My family has abandoned me. Tortured me in their departure from my life.
The only one who checks in is my ex husband.
Where’s the good people here now?
I weep for my poor people who have abandoned me. Just because I have mental illness.
Peace just wanted to be free
I look for justice and see none
Man is a wolf to man.
@immahoodlum6157to you.
I feel the same. People are exhausting.
Being alone feels like heaven to me. Don’t know what he’s talking about- being lonely doesn’t feel like punishment at all - it’s a treat!
It’s freedom.
Same. All my kids are grown. I finally retired. I absolutely love being alone. I have gone through several phases, a rebellious teenager, a dance of freedom. I am afraid to even tell my kids how happy I am internally.
Being alone and being lonely are not the same .
Lonely is severed belonging .
Yes each and every day more folks are figuring out being and acceptiing alone is a blessing, Of course we have our cats and dogs as best BEST friends,, teaching us to give and receiuve love, I have my 500 bk collection + 400 classical cd collection and a wife, Lets not forget Yeshua our very best friend
Day after day after day, learning that what one abhors in others is our shadow and to embrace this knowledge of the extent of our baseness and then begin to learn how to master it? Yes a treat A wickedly bittersweet tasting treat of sorts.
I love being alone! Next to go my 30 years as a hairstylist. I love hair, but the endless conversations are beyond exhausting.
I spend all my time alone, more and more because i became sick and couldn't go out, i have become used to it, i talk to myself sometimes, watch lots of utube, paint, draw, i feel like i am realising it doesn't matter if people dislike me or think i am strange or have strange ideas, its because i am more advanced than some!❤

You sound pretty cool! 🧡
We’re healthier, live longer, and are happier from being social..
As a child, I was told and often reminded not to talk to strangers & the habit stuck for much of my life. My husband was not social either and we were joined at the hip for 35 years until he passed from dementia. As a single senior I suddenly became a social person & then evolved into a super social person and started writing in a daily gratitude journal.
Then evolved into a happy, grateful, social person who spreads joy & sincere smiles to all I meet; chatting with strangers, dancing, loving many friends and feeling loved and valued by almost everyone in return! My purpose in life is to spread kindness & joy, being a living example to others
who may not have figured it out yet. life is what we make it.
Blessings to all!💗🙋♀️😄💃🏼🌺🙏💓😂

I crave my silence and solitude. I do find white noise and the sound of rushing wind and water meditative, soothing, and insightful. I write, read, and study in my bedroom for around 23 hours every day. I want not to ever leave my self-creative, self-designed sanctuary. I have now filled my phone message taker to capacity. I answer phone numbers I recognize. I invite such documentaries into my self-imposed isolation. In my mind, I travel far and wide. It's wonderful!❤
You sound like me!! Except that I live in the garage! I also have a garden and love to paint, as well as writing and reading. Whale noises are another sound I like to relax to.
@@ThomasLapins sounds divine!
I love being alone. I live alone and have no lovers, not for years. Nobody calls around. I have no connection with family and I have absolutely no friends. It’s amazing. I just spent the last 6 months deep cleaning my place and I wouldn’t have it any other way now. It’s the best feeling having nobody to answer to.
I live the same way, and I love it...
Alone is best
See the Nicolas Cage movie "Pig."
It's all dandy until you get sick...
@@Eirene628 That's valid. I think this topic is related to buddhism & vedanta, both of which are premised upon that our suffering is in our heads (we do it to ourselves: expectations of health, sustenance, other people are premeditated resentments. Nothing's permanent, and we go through life craving what isn't, clinging to what is). In that sense, is it worse to be isolated and become honest about who you are in the moment, not living in stories we tell ourselves about the past/future (and then become unhealthy without a support system)? Or, better to be engaged with others, being ego-supplied by them, supplying their egos, preoccupied with who we are among them (were, will be, won't be, could've been, if only.... that's how the self-talk goes typically). Then we don't appreciate our healthy existence as much as we might if experience ourselves as we are (typically done through more isolation, retreat).
I belive that the buddha's "middle way" is the answer to everything. It's probably not good to make isolation a way of life (the ultimate goal). But, being "normally" social, engaged isn't great either. There is a middle way of awakening to who you are (or aren't), and then engaging in that way, teaching others. It's a paradox where we can be too prepared for health crises (and millions of other crises). We don't exist authentically that way. If you integrate with yourself (your dark side, your subconscious which is 95% of your brain. Your 5% conscious part is the recepter of what emerges from that, its job is to make sense of what emerges), then bad health (or any crisis) can be accepted with less ego injury knowing that we've existed with our true self more than we would've if we tried to be ready for what comes. (But, you're right that completely tuning out isn't entirely right either. It's a balance. I would say we're wired to err more on the side of beng in contol, prepared, blotting out who we really are, not living authentically than we are to err on the side of turning into a helpless vegetable. The risk isn't the latter, it's the former.).
Carl Jung says "...the highest and most decisive experience of all... is to be alone with his own self, or whatever else one chooses to call the objectivity of the psyche. The patient must be alone if he is to find out what it is that supports him when he can no longer support himself. Only this experience can give him an indestructible foundation."
Yes. I remember this during the lecture of our professor at ASI. Remember the exercises we had, parang retreat tuloy yung class natin with Dr. Dido.
@SaintHoseaHermitage ah Oo. I remember seating in to Dr. Dido's class every year she teaches and she required me doing all the papers required in our class. But I wasn't comfortable with being alone. Especially that time when my salsa classes were getting busier. But the dances helped me heal.

I have several great friends, but I love my solitude. It’s fun to be with others in person, but I prefer to be alone. I meditate and say prayers of gratitude, peace, forgiveness and love for myself and others every a.m. without fail. I love being alone, in a place of deep peace. Sometimes I get lonely, but lots of friends, and clients around the world who call me for psychic consultation, make me feel helpful, useful, loved and appreciated. I’m fortunate to live in a spacious, art-filled home (my own and others’) with big windows looking out at a pretty, natural landscape. I was married for 25 happy years with my soul mate, but he died in a mt. climbing accident several years ago. I never seem to need anyone else. I “should” be “unhappy” but I’m not. I’ve learned so much about myself -and life.

Quite a disturbing art collection on display. Lonliness is becoming a real problem in society. In Denmark if you can find 25 people who share an interest with you, for example 'Sound of music' sing-alongs, you can go to your local council and get a 'Grant' to pay for Hall rental and a piano player. That way, 25 people aren't sitting alone at home being sad and burning fuel. That's real social reform, It would be nice to see it spread.

Wonderful idea. This is so progressive and I’m sure it will catch on in England at some stage.

I agree with you David. I am reminded of the U.S. Surgeon General's report from 2023 that I read and support. Thank you for your thoughtful response. We are social creatures, yet society seems increasingly bent upon separation and division rather than unity and collectivity.

Second time around with this. It’s been many years since I’ve been there. Here I am again. Feels familiar. Never understood what was happening, nevertheless went through it. Sometimes you’re greater than your environment and all it means, you know what I mean. You know who and what you are. Never forget it persevere.
Not edited.
I tend to be more mentally and emotionally healthy when I am alone and not interacting with very many people. And I honestly prefer it. I don't feel like myself until I am more isolated.
I almost agree on everything said here except the loneliness part. Indeed, in times when I feel the need to be in my reclusion or isolation, I do not equate it to loneliness though there were times that loneliness drives me to reclusion. Not because I just want to dwell into my loneliness but because it brings me to a greater reflection, of seeing myself, becoming aware of what was within the unconscious and with that enlightenment, brings peace and joy. And sometimes, when I felt healed and at peace, I wanted to linger in this solitude to enjoy the bliss of this experience, especially that moment of transcendence where I find creativity in my writings and in my creative works. Yes, part of the isolation can be triggered by loneliness and perhaps depression; but more often, it is triggered with my conscious effort to dive deep into my unconscious, in my meditations, my prayers, my reflections, and my dances.
I prefer to be by myself. I prefer the isolation. I occasionally seek out social activities and then resume my isolation without feeling lonely.
They are referring to a prolonged period of being alone that surpasses the occasional times you do choose to connect.
Go a whole year without being around people you are close with and disconnect. Your only interactions are the people you see at your grocery store, and the rest it’s just you and your mind all day everyday. It will go beyond what you are usually comfortable with, because that’s how you start the reflecting and getting real deep within.
You will know it if and when it happens to you. There is a difference, you will feel it.
Sometimes isolation happens to you and isn’t a choice of going into isolation for self reflection or creative process. Sometimes people leave you, environment changes or people pass away and you feel like you are a victim of isolation and the loneliness sets in. In that case, it takes a while to realize you may have been in need of isolation and the universe caused you to be isolated involuntarily. I say this from experience because I am going through loss that has led to a sort of isolation right now. And at first I felt loneliness until I realized that this could be a moment of growth.
Many times I am the most lonely in a crowd.
The Universe is only a part of it. It doesn’t isolate you. Your choices do. Even if guided by the “Universe”. Predetermined life is not the whole truth. You have agency within it.
That's very insightful.
This is why I'm trying to accept saying "My decisions are the reason I'm in this suckey part of life" vs "The Universe is a piece of shit for putting me in this bullshit part of life".
Whoever made this video I thank you and appreciate it. I thank algorithms to put it into my timeline.

A comforting voice with a fabulously philosophical narrative. Beautiful artwork. Thank you so much.
I've been feeling despairingly lonely for over two years, and it all makes great sense now. 🙌
I am so at my best when I can observe myself, question myself and be alone snd ok with myself!!! I have learned to start to let go and love.
I can do long stretches on my own relatively speaking, but I don't want to consistently do that. Id prob get a bit cray-cray. I need to be warm and dry with a roof overhead. I need clean water to drink and sufficient food to eat. I like some people too, so I go to work every day to meet those needs. But I do recharge on my own and in nature outdoors. I need to be alone to do that well. Some people, places and things can be thoroughly draining. I'm grateful I can choose. There will come a time soon enough that I can't choose. I won't be alone though. I'll just be learning something new in my own way at my own pace.
The Beautiful Beings of Gaia would like to thank The Thinker's Psyche for your service. We are forever grateful.

Good on you.❤️
Isolation simply means not being with other people. You could be surrounded and relating to all forms of nature, but if you're not with another human, they call it isolation. When you have access to great imagination and Collective consciousness, being with other humans can be inhibiting. Human Society cannot help but to homogenize that which is different or non compliant... which makes isolation a blessed alternative to becoming something else
I just can’t believe that I went to go be with my extended family thinking that I was finally going to have that which I believe is what kids/young people would normally have, a family home, only to be met with this sort of rejection where perhaps it’s all because they raised my sibling and not me. My aunt would be like “we raised him since he was a baby”. That to me is cruel, considering we never chose our parents or who raised us, and we go to our families with the expectation that we would receive the most basic needs/desires from family, like love, care, treatment, family home life, etc. but it’s incredibly traumatic for me at least, when family decides to either deny all of that or can only provide those things conditionally and transactionally like it’s some kind of quid pro quo, and then after all the rumination of how I was treated, finally come to the rude awakening that perhaps it was all because they raised my sibling and they never raised me…. I never chose my narcissist father, and my brother never chose our aunt and uncle. and yet people I try speaking to about this trauma they act like jerks and invalidate me by saying things like “well they raised your brother!” “oh I don’t mean to be cold! I don’t mean to be cold!” “you are not your brother.” and they make me feel like I’m the bad or guilty one just because I wanted to or tried to go live with my family… absolutely terrible…
I hope you're under 40 and figure it out by the time you are. 30 is even better.
Your comment brings to mind a verse from Kahlil Gibran; responding to a mother asking, “Speak to us of children”.
[Answer:] Your children are NOT YOUR children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come THROUGH you, but not FROM you, and though they are with you, yet they belong NOT to you. …You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. … For life goes NOT backward nor tarries with yesterday. … [emphases mine]. Peace to you..
@@astrobead7 can you elaborate on this?
@@blank_earth I think I’m trying to say that both children and their parents/caregivers have to eventually let go of the parent-child relationship at some time in the future. (whether positive OR negative). Of course one should honor their parents, even tho they can, and do, screw up. I think Gibran is talking about Freedom; the letting go of the past so a new future can be born. (Thx for your question - made me think a bit more deeply about this!) Peace to You.
I feel very alone. My best cat friend died 3 months ago and it's been so dark.i have noticed more recently the lessons I have learnt through grief. I have always appreciated my own space but this has been on another level. I've felt alone even with people around, felt disconnected to human life and misunderstood and have reflected greatly. I find myself confronted by other peoples concern for my loneless however and this makes me feel really bad.

Cool
I love being alone, yes it's nice to interact sonetimes but the journey I have been on internally has been extremely painful yet liberating and now I am just this free spirit with no ties floating about the earth throwing some positivity around and it just feels like it's my authentic self. I am more creative alone as I have no distraction, I treat myself well, try to stay as fit as possible and take care of my body. What I neglected for so long was my mental health and my worth which I will always have to work on. Life our journey is a constant work in progress. It never truly ends but you must just flow with it! 🙏
brilliant brilliant brilliant
so clear and concise
I like being alone so I can do Jung's work which I have done since I was 24. My first therapist must have been a Jung fan because I started out with his concepts and I think Jung got it right. After a big dive into the shadow I have found that it takes about 6 months or so to integrate to where I am comfortable. There is a meme that says: You can't take down a woman who isn't afraid to eat alone, lose friends, or doesn't care about rejection and doesn't tolerate abuse.
It is what it's happening to me. I've been forced to be alone, than , I started to discovery myself , the real one. I am planning to do a solo trip i the nature , to discover even better who I really am. I hope all the questions and the fears that don't have any answers yet , will come to light.
Don't demand answers, just be. Just my suggestion.
I have the exact opposite situation. I long for solitude but life keeps pulling me into social obligations.
yeah. same is happening to me too.
Or may be some people enjoy those attachments and like the validation of their opinions & views.
🙏🙏
You may wish to ask oneself- why am I being pulled? Guilt, saying yes when deep down one wishes to say no, fear of being disliked, or so many other reasons. When you come up with your true answer, you will feel at peace with it. All other reasons or fears will fall away. This is what I have found for me. You will find you. ❤
Same with me too. And the type of people who want to penetrate my barriers are low quality people. Confirms my need for isolation even more. Why cant people leave us alone.
@@1nilu1 The real enlightenment/growth is to be able to deal with these individuals and still have your peace. After all, you can't control their behaviors, only your own. This is what I'm currently dealing with and realizing that I need to look at perceived "barriers" or obstacles as an opportunity to learn and grow. When I feel resistance, I know I need to dig deep into myself. ❤
I enjoy being alone - solitude is so comfortable for me. I believe in a "Higher Power." Therefore, I have faith that we are never really alone. I love my friends and family, but to relax and feel at peace, I require solitude often.
The universe is not limited in its ways of disseminating knowledge ❤, consider everything and stop getting so pissed of when ones perspective doesn't match yours. Just go deeper as we know
Find a kitten that loves you. You will never be lonely again!
Then they turn into a cat that wants their own space.
What a wonderful thing to say. Our 2 rescue dogs are a huge comfort and blessing. Can't imagine life without them. Animals help ground us and keep our spirits high.
Excellent idea, but adopting a bonded pair is ideal.💖
Tried this.....DID.....NOT.....WORK. Too much sexual energy between me and something that's not in a human body.
I've known these truths since I was little. Maybe I'm an old soul. I'm comfortable with it for the most part. I have problems like everyone. But I'm ok with just being me. I try to take the good with the bad.
Just to be clear, some people are just negative. Take what you can use and leave the rest..you never know what might save someone else, and possibly even you..❤✌️🌻🌱🦋
My circumstances have put me in isolation but I am.70 and I wish I was younger to do this kind lf introspection but I think I have this situation and go through it.
I’m finding isolation is the last part of life’s journey, it’s fulfilling.
I've been practicing and then isolating for years. At this time, I don't know if it's just depression, finding creativity challenging. But my health doesn't let me do the typical things anymore nor do I really miss the meaningless of it all.
Loneliness pealed right before the lableak, suddenly there was this meaning, this collective mission, and people massively clung to it. This was one great illusion and an audience turned into lasting mass psychosis
Being alone gets you further when you think about your growth its a superpower to be solo and dedicated to your goals and dreams. 💫😮💨💃🏻
We are not ALONE…
We are ALL ONE

I'll never look at the word "alone" the same again.

Same! And have spent 10 years completely alone since divorcing. No dates, nothing. It’s been healing but like you don’t want it this way forever.
There is a vast chasm of difference between alone and lonely. Loneliness generally comes about involuntarily and is seemingly without purpose, other than for the torture of one's soul.
Accept yourself to live genuinely and with authenticity!💯
And without FEAR!
Carl Jung was, I believe a psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst, not a psychologist. Big difference. Huge.
Actually I believe he was both. Many people occupy both roles not just one or the other.
He was both. But I am wondering why finding error in the video is your point of focus rather than listening to the content
@@bdsmtherapyisthekey Because calling him a psychologist already reveals someone who's not too knowledgeable about Jung. His history as a psychoanalyst in particular is foundational to all of his opinions. And, likely Jung never used the term "the Universe" to talk about the Collective or God; that's a fad term.
You truly have talent, supporting you all the way
For myself, I explain to people that I have solitude surrounded by loneliness and use the loneliness as a tool for the solitude to speak about loneliness in a creative way, other than engaging in a destructive pattern of polarized emotional output, but I do not discount the loneliness for what it is as an individual indicator of true desires
No! Social isolation is NOT solitude. Don't conflate the joys of peaceful self-reflective quietude with rejection from society. If you are experiencing social isolation please seek help. Social isolation is detrimental emotionally, cognitively and to your physical health.... And it can be deadly to some people, so just remember to check in and ask ru okay? 🙏
I'm glad you made this distinction.
I'm going through social isolation currently for almost 2 years and it's starting to dawn on me how unhealthy and potentially damaging it is and how I will have complications trying to reintegrate back into social settings.
Thank you for this video! I enjoy everything phychology especially carl yungs work.
Thank u for this it really helped me right now as I'm right in this moment
I was going to mention expansions on the remark of ,yes to the first premises.
Yet further into the video I am reminded that it's simply a question of moving to unbeknownst to me in completeness for years,that I just have such a different open emotional range than most in this region I have moved to a couple of years shy of a decade.
And so yes a reordering and rediscovery of my true self has been ever-growing since about halfway through my time in this new region
.
You cant change anyone, only yourself and then everything changes re perspectives.
I don't feel isolated from the universe. I see the isolation among human beings though.
Don’t have to become anything. Just discover who who truly already are. That which you are looking for is where you are looking from.. Vedanta, Ramana Maharshi, Mooji, Ekhart Tolle.. 🙏
This was a deeply insightful and healing presentation to listen to, and helped me gain a new perspective on my life, feeling much better about life. Thankyou!.❤
It's all about how you perceive isolation the world will tell you that your depressed and try to sell you drug to deal with it, being alone is the best thing you can do get right with yourself u don't to have validation from the of society about how I live my life, most people just project their own bs on you because they can't handle being in their head cause they actually have the problem they are projecting at you so do what makes you happy not what pleases others....😊

There are two types loneliness and aloneness... Loneliness is attachment and misery... aloneness doesn't lack anything there's balance.. one is inside a bubble of magic.. deeply aware of the moment and not the past there is no need for another...content with self you are your best friend...
What great artwork!
Loneliness can lead to alcohol consumption. We also are human beings who experience desire. Companionship is vital in dire situations (sickness, unexpected hardship or accidents). It is essential to have a safety net in place. I would also recommend a pet. We alone are not enough to give us reason to care about our essence or what we can offer to others or the world. Soul searching is possible without solitary confinement, which is the equivalent of torture. Human beings are pack animals and do not thrive alone for long periods of time.
Wow! The artwork!
Light and Darkness, can become one, it does not matter which one you start with as long as you see together as one on the left side and the other is on the right side, and your walking down middle you wouldn't hear anything but you'll see things that is within your mind.
just to be clear it’s a very cynical video that has nothing to do with Jung just capitalizing on the fact that most people are becoming lonely nowadays and it’s a cheap AI made grab
I watched the video. Though I had made some critique, I dare not to judge the author of this presentation. You may disagree but to be truly a student of Jung, you have to take it objectively and state where you disagree. Even Jung disagrees with his mentor, Freud. And there are students of Jung, who also disagrees with Jung. I have my own critique of Jung. But remember, the phenomenology of the psyche is not just a domain of single perspective. Your comment, as I see it, reveals a shadow you need to see deeper. I suggest you go and search more, and see what and why you make such judgment. I believe everything is just a projection, and you are projecting something that you see deep in yourself. So watch out.
oh I forgot to tell you that this video tells about Jung´s Individuation. It seems you know nothing of Depth Psychology. You have the courage to rant because you are hiding behind an anonymous profile, and perhaps you think you are invincible that you have that courage to devalue and invalidate this work. Gasslighting!!! lol Study and learn. and not just criticize without any basis.
No bud. You're wrong.
@@SaintHoseaHermitage when did jung say that people had to isolate in order to become more of themselves?
@@metatronheraldofthealmight3968 he didn´t say that
Loved it! ❤very comprehensive.
my isolation is due to not feeling good. Strange how people forget you. Waiting for a good day here.
Alone, all one. Missing one letter.
I love that. Thank you. 🙏
@@globalheartwarming to get to the one, you have to experience the all. It's why understanding others can help you understand yourself, and vice-versa.
If one does not understand themself, how could they understand others, it's a paradox.
@@globalheartwarming yes, and I have mirrored this experience, further explaining what I initially said, no offense taken.
@@TailsDreams Thanks for mansplaining.
@@globalheartwarming no problem, thank you for womanistening.
The same points repeated for 39 min. I hate Ai

It's called repetition. And it's often how people learn. What specifically is your objection to repetition, if I may inquire?
az0: _"I hate Ai"_
With all due respect, I don't think you know enough about AI to 'hate' it.
@@RichardHarlos I do, and do.
However, I don't necessarily hate repetition, but in this instance I think it reached the limit of it's knowledge and instead of moving forward with exercises it's almost certainly not legally authorized to teach, it turned around into an infinite loop.
Cut at 39 mins.
@@dionmcgee5610 Fair enough. But it's worth noting that 'the idea of 'limit' is pretty subjective. It may indeed have been more than you wanted or needed, but that might not be the case for another.
I'm mostly agreeing with you, but that that caveat. And also...
Communication is said to be a process:
1. I have something I want to share.
2. Because there are many ways to say the same thing, I should consider my intended hearer or audience, and tailor what I want to say to their level of understanding.
3. I 'encode' my message for that particular audience.
At this point, I've done all I can. Now, it's the listener's or audience's turn to do their part:
A. The need to pay attention to what's being said, particularly to the context in which something is said, and whatever nuance may be appropriate to the subject.
B. They then need to 'decode' my message and do their best to understand not merely what I said, but also what I likely intended.
C. If they disagree with something I said, they could of course launch into a criticism, but more helpful for all concerned is to *ask clarifying questions.* So, something like:
"This repetition really challenged my desire to stay engaged. Anyone else feel that way? And, if the narrator is reading these comments, did you have a specific goal in mind when you chose to repeat this much?"
This fosters a conversation, and leads to a more mutual understanding. It can happen in one go-round, or it may take several. But to engage this way is to benefit all around. I think that's a much better aim than to be contrary without even a single instance of seeking clarity prior to criticism.
Can you shorten that (attention span) to make more concise, enabling some repetition of the important bits to clarify and focus on.@@RichardHarlos

No, I'm afraid that I can't. Sorry.
❤❤ Thanks so much

My contribution has been deleted. Probably because It’s very upbeat 0:49 and optimistic.
I enjoy my solitude !
I live this.
Being alone or isolation is not the same thing as loneliness.
I only have 2 kids who are griwn and gone from home, one friend, and my partner but thats all i want
it's kinda crazy how nobody is talking about the book whispers of manifestation on borlest
Is it out there anywhere other than tiktoks? I've found a lot of psychological and philosophical books written from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s but cannot find that book anywhere. Joseph Murphy's power of your subconscious mind was the first I found.
These boys are everywhere
Wouldn't they be whispering about it?
@EvrySingleTime 😆
🤣 I isolate myself 🤣 and for the record.
There's a difference between being ALONE and being LONELY.
Anyway, I got my good dog Freya, I got my Mary Jane, and I got Rock'n'Roll!
Isolation hell! It's where I find peace 🥃
I enjoyed that. Thank you.
Good video, thank you 😊
I’m 74 now. Nine years ago I broke with my wife. She moved to another city. Then I felt the urge to seek psychotherapy. My therapist told me that sometimes a person lives with another and even decades later doesn’t know them. “Now you have the opportunity to live with yourself. Catch the occasion to know yourself.”
It's exactly 1:11 💯 as i digging this, i was there dark night of the soul, o Boy that was Hell, lost everything and nearly died JESUS SAVED MY LIFE FROM THE DEVIL 👿
Paradoxical how this video is also just another form of 'society telling us what to do and how to behave.' 🙂
But I can appreciate the effort. This type of noise is not too bad.
