I’ve been alone since 2010 not lonely i met a girl 2months ago she turned my life upside down and inside out its taken a few weeks but now im back reading books doing all the stuff i really enjoy alone im certainly going to be more careful in meeting anyone else because it’s reinforced how lucky i am to have such a peaceful life.👍🇳🇿
I feel like you just described me. This is exactly what im dealing with now. I had an almost photographic memory, but lately, I've been forgetting the most basic of things. The brief periods of joy (if you can really call them that) are few and far between, but they feel more like moments of just neutrality or a distraction, where I can just take my mind off of everything. I'm constantly just exhausted anymore, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The simplest of tasks seem to take forever to do anymore
Lifetime introvert, part of me thinks everyone else can just disappear.... good bye. But I do care about a lot of things. People included, but just don't need them.
Walked toward a new life 2yrs ago. At 62, it's apparent my life means most to me and least to old friends or family. Truth is, they care less and less. Sounds sad, but its not. What you're saying is true. I'm frugal, kind and grateful to God for giving me this final shot at peace and I love it.
Give me my gardening equipment, give me my wood cutting equipment and I will be the happiest person in the world. due to it being noisy, I wear ear protection and get to think deeply.
I am one of those such isolated men. Outside of work, & supporting my mother, who has congestive heart failure, I have no social interaction whatsoever for obvious reasons, In order to care for her, I live with my mother. Not something the ladies see as a net positive in a potential partner. I also am a wage slave, who commutes 145 miles both ways to work. So no spare cash, & for an intimate social life, even if I had the opportunity. Keep in mind, I am also retired military, & due to my previous employment as such, I am on every known, & unknown watchlist of the alphabet glowie community as a result. Yes, I was bored enough to actually have a background check done on me for shits, & giggles. Fortunately for society, I am older, wish to live my life in peace, & quite honestly with how society treats me in general, am completely apathetic towards its fate. I won’t harm you, but do not think for a moment I will grant you mercy, or intervene upon your behalf without proper reason, & compensation for my time, & effort.
I know more women living alone than men . The happiest people on earth are single women and married men . Check it ou and stop this victimhood mentality
my father was the victim of a one punch murder my kid brother committed suicide my mother had a heart attack the day of a court case and my elder brother got committed to a madhouse the day she died and they never went through the hell i went through
Another terrific video…I’m a widower and twice divorced since…from two covert narcissists. Worked with a terrific therapist and continue to do the inner shadow work…and I am much better emotionally and physically. You are spot on…I have a much lower tolerance for manipulative behaviors/ BS…and have reclaimed my power by walking away since…I haven’t given up on dating completely…but it is a much lower priority. I now embrace the peace that comes with living alone and enjoying my work, hobbies, and a handful very good and close friends.
I consciously decided to become dangerous as a teen. I was raised in a religious cult, and it invaded my personal life to such a degree that I decided that if I found out God was a tyrant, I'd become his worst enemy. Since then, that attitude has evolved to simply being dangerous to tyrants of any station. I have never had a long term relationship, and have always been inclined to spend time alone. It's true, it makes you dangerous to those who would control and manipulate you. There is a reason that society shits so hard on anyone who stays single for an extended period. Men and women both need to isolate and learn to think for themselves
You should be fine living in London with so much to see and discover on your own. I was visiting a friend (female) last month in a subtopic Reno Nevada. Bc if you dont have a car, there was absolutely nothing to do that I was bored out of my mind. I couldn’t wait to come back to San Francisco and felt o wasted my time bc my friend was a control freak and bossy as hell. I saw many of her ugly sides and to the point I stop being friends with her and thought it was going to be the best.
People expect men to be brutes but what they failed to realized the pain they have been through: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. The storms have taught us who is here for you and who is not.
Maybe these men have gone through many wars from past relationships and now scared (sp). Also, modern daring and modern women are not the easiest to form relationships with.
I hate it when you ge the thrroaway comments, life is for living, yes it may well be but ususally it is people who go out everynight which try to make you feel inferior, pisses me right off
Has everyone noticed that every ad, every commercial on TV and the Internet is just a dance party? Every prescription drug ad, every weight loss ad, etc. Doesn't matter what the subject is. More brainwashing. More FOMO: Fear of Missing Out. YOU are missing the momentum. You are a loser, a social outcast, a weirdo loner.
This resonates so much with me, 69 now and lived alone since 30 never married, had girlfriends in past with own homes, didn't want to end up losing mine and a demanding job with long commute left little chance for social life. I get on with people but am content and happy on my own, I have 2 special friends, both female, one since 17 and the other who I love very much, always platonic, met 37 years ago, we text, phone, meet up for meals etc. I enjoy the freedom to just do as I please, go where and when I want to. Health issues stopped me driving last year after 50 years, cars were a necessity for my job and became a passion, had 28 ! Now I use my bus pass for free travel, see more, no parking fees or maintenance expense, train for longer journeys and can get taxis when suits. I can have a bit of banter if I go into a cafe or pub, feel perfectly at ease now and can have a drink with my lunch now not driving, can also enjoy looking round old buildings without feeling the obligation to be going round clothes shops with a partner. Thanks for the video.
Hi all, just found you! New sub! 53 and alone for almost 13 years! Love it! So peaceful now with a lot less stress, at least in my personal life. Take care all, may we all continue to find peace in our solitude. Peace n love to all xx
I don’t go out a few places to eat and work the rest of time I’m at home I really enjoy my time alone I don’t follow the crowd I’m still enjoying my life the time alone to
I’m 63 been married , twice. Daughter in another state in college. She is 20 now. I’ve been single about 10 years now. I got very comfortable being alone a few years back. I thought at first omg I need a girlfriend I can’t be alone, I need more friends, what will my family think, on and on Man do I like being alone, it builds confidence, I do what I want to to whenever I want, nap, tinker on something, laundry, go visit a buddy, if I want something I get it. ( but I’m more budget conscious) that’s good I’m way more secure, and happy. It’s all good. If I fall and break a hip O well I’ll deal with that then. And I work part time. That’s another story lol
I've been Alone All My Life (being adopted into a Family not My Own) who Don't know What to Do Around Me. I don't NEED People never have, I've always done things Alone. Never had lots of Friends and really didn't need them. I prefer NOT being around People with their BS. And No I don't have anti-social problems Because People for the most part are a Waste Of Time. I have better things to do with My Time than Waste It On Things that don't Matter To Me.
Don't agree. You learn stuff from being alone. The real danger is in people with an iq lower than 85. They'll bring carnage to everyone around them including themselves. These are people that think they are god and will stab you for a pack of sigarettes. Why you think the army needs men with an iq above 92😅
Iremember one night out that was really good but it was spontaneous, completely unplanned and ended up being a good night. But I agree, being socially active in itself can be toxic. Find doing stuff on my own to be more fulfilling.
Dangerous things I did being alone: studying, getting my degrees, working out, learning about health and nutrition, creating business plans, applying for business loans, financial planning, paying my expenses, investing my profits, getting enough sleep. Also went out to socialize 1 or 2 hours most days, thereby meeting my lifetime best friends and the women I dated and the one woman who would go on to have my three children and raise them with me. But 22 to 23 hours a day, I guess I was a menace to society.
