I love solitude. People are exhausting.
When I'm alone, I don't have to deal with the drama of the mindless sheep. Peace in solitude.
I’ve learned that no one cares about you and it’s best to only trust yourself and not to entrust others with anything.
My grandmother told me something that stuck with me when I was a kid. The world is full of lies and deceit , people will lie to you , you will lie to people and so it goes. Just promise me that you will never lie to yourself ok ?
Never have I found greater joy in life than while being alone.
When you're happy to be alone by yourself and are comfortable with that, your best friend is always there
“Whosoever is delighted in solitude, is either a wild beast or a god.” ― Aristotle
Every time I get involved with other people I realize the same thing. They don’t want to listen to me but they sure do want me to listen to them…people are a boring waste of time.
Nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing to loose
Solitude is freedom, Inner strength, independence, happiness and the warmth of being at peace.
Never assume a quiet man is weak and a loud man is strong, quite the opposite my friends.
Solitude is a gift, priceless. Pain is your greatest teacher and true friend! 🐺
I have read both Nietzsche and Marcus Aurelius during my quest for self improvement, I re-read their works periodically. My life has improved significantly during this process. I've manage to become a positive mentor to my coworkers, subordinates, and superiors. I have no interest in climbing the ladder. At the same time, I live life on my terms. I enjoy books, bicycles, canoes, fishing, and coffee. I do not care about how people judge me and the rare ridicule I receive I could care less. I am myself. I do not harm others. I readily help anyone who asks. Those who are ready leave my presence inspired. Those who aren't leave confused.
That type of person wouldn’t be in a coffee shop in the first place, they’d be enjoying a coffee at home in their own company
Introverts like me thrived under the pandemic. We don't shy away from isolation; we isolate ourselves deliberately to maintain our freedom, independence, and peace of mind.
Lived alone on my remote castle of solitude for the past 20 years. Solitude is blissful for an older man …
The only time I feel "alone"is when I'm in public, but I am never "lonely".
Thank you for this video, though it brings up painful memories. At first i was with an abusive and narc wife for 10 years of my life, then i left when i couldn't bear it any longer, bear in mind i only stayed that long because of our kids. After two years of being single, i met the love of my life, and we had a fantastic first 5 months, then my PTSD kicked in and I did a lot of things i am not proud of because i wasn't properly healed. and she left me. I think of her everyday I realize now and i feel so empty and lonely inside. I love her so much
The shift for me happened sometime between 2023 and 2024. I have become so content with myself and my own company , I simply don't have enough time in the day to follow through on all the thoughts and ideas in my head. I have no one to look up to and no one can influence me. I simply just exist and stay in my own lane
