How Stoics Deal With Loneliness 

Hang in there Ryan. You are not alone.

Ryan, I am on the precipice of a similar situation. Staring into the void of the unknown is terrifying, but no progress has ever been made discovering what is already known.

@@theinquiringengineer I'm inspired by I think Epictetus' or Senecas depiction of Hercules. He would not have been so great without his trials. It's shit, it's probably going to get worse but if it wasn't shit what's to come would never be great

Welcome, welcome to the real world. Hey at least you have water, food and shelter!

@@RyanJRMarshall Hell yeah! That's an inspiring attitude. We could all fill a comment box with life's current problems, but to take something out of it gives the misery purpose and makes it's feel... not so bad. 😏

You must become that person for yourself. Filling your own needs.

😊uh

you're a very tough cookie.

Stay strong brother.

broo you are tough as diamond, and i hope you will shine like one

You are not alone😉

Stay tough and enjoy your dad while you still have him.

I absolutely love it! Walking is one of my favorite things to do

This is a wonderful quote! Thanks so much!❤️

Many people don’t care to change there ways and the fact you were able to, regardless that no one around you was doing the same. That shows the strength and will power you possess within yourself. Sometimes you wish people could look from your perspective and help change there bad habits to good habits. But as you said you have outgrown the friendships which is normal but difficult because it’s hard to be around people who don’t share the same things you once had.

If they tell you that you’ve changed, it’s because they don’t know how to tell you that you’ve grown. Whoever you are, I’m very proud of you anyway!😊

This storm will pass and bring the warmth of the sun. Stay strong king 👑

@The Fire Dragon No

I lost my mom and dad in my 20s. I'm now creeping up on 50. Stay focused. Don't allow their love and effort into your raising go in vain. Make them proud.

@The Fire Dragon schizo moment.

@The Fire Dragon You need to go lay in your car bed and rethink your life. Here’s some advice. Learn how to interact with people, throw out all your coloring books and funko pops and move out of your parents house. It’s time for You to grow up “fire dragon.”

That's an amazing line bro, was this a quote from somewhere?

Mediocrity should be maintain, else you'll be more complicated

Not purposefully, just do what is needed to live that lifestyle, but having a good job that keeps you wealthy isn’t a bad thing

What does fear has to do with those things you mentioned?

If you suffer form true lonelness and arent simply "alone" suffering with others and asking for help are not possible.

@@nictibbettsif you say they’re not possible they’ll never be possible

@@nictibbetts Reach your hand out anyway.

@@nictibbetts unless you have no human contact whatsoever and are stranded in the wilderness then that’s not true.

@@nictibbettscan you elaborate on what you mean?

be careful with drugs they are everywhere nowadays and not sustainable

I'm the same. I realised I like my own company more than anyone else

I’m the same too, I stoped all my friendships and kept acquaintances … I feel more in peace with myself and have a good amount of hobbies and self fulfillment … I wished things are otherwise, having a family or girlfriend but it just not the way and it’s not a big deal as it seems

This is so me bro. I love people but I just don't click with most people. When I do click, I can only do an hour or two of social stuff. I guess I value my time too much?

Thought I should add...I love spending time with my wife and kids. That is very different.

I feel the same.....

I subscribed to your page love your videos

Same Jessica, but there are people there to help You as you said!

That's cool but i think biologically we all need a people anyway

What's stopping you from having a simple social life?

Leave the house every day. Don't stay in when the weather outside is good. Make it a personal rule that whenever the sun outside is shining, you go outside. Watch your life transform within weeks.

@@Andi91 That’s great advice. I already do that. In fact, I go running on many sunny days, and it’s one of the best parts of my life. Being alone doesn’t mean sitting in a room and doing nothing.

I'm a recluse ... love being alone, busy with loads of stuff, ... other people huh.

@@MrSimonw58 you need to find people who share the exact same interests and obsessions as you do

i have problems with: express love, feel love. suffer with others. ask for help. the rest i am wholeheartedly behind, because i know them to actually work. if you are lucky enough to find one pearl of a person in this human shit sea, then you have won. otherwise, just take the "L" and keep it moving.

So you crave for connection but you mantain your head ocuppied in order to not face the feelings. Got it.

❤❤❤ you strong brother hope you get better

Keep going

So good u found this channel. It really helps.

If you enjoy subjects about masculinity and mastery, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel. Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own thoughts so that others can benefit from them as well. All the best to you!

Wow…..✅

Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, and he is known for his philosophical reflections on life, leadership, and self-improvement. Here are some quotes from Marcus Aurelius that reflect his wisdom and insights: "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." "You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." "The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts." "Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them." "Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking." "The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury." "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." "The present moment is all we have, and it is in this moment that we find contentment and fulfillment." "The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing." These quotes from Marcus Aurelius reflect his stoic philosophy and emphasize the importance of self-awareness, inner strength, and finding contentment within oneself. They continue to inspire people to this day with their timeless wisdom.
