Overcoming Loneliness 

Once I stop looking outside of myself for happiness, validation. I realized l was alone but was not lonely. I enjoyed my own company and I have peace and joy everyday.

I’ve been single now for 12 years and totally alone since 2019… this described my journey to a tee so this comforted me. Now I struggle when I am with people. I prefer my own company nowadays.. 🤗

How this resonates with me, I was the loneliest I have ever been when in my relationships. I have lived alone now for four years, I have loved it, I enjoy my aloneness, I need it, unfortunately my partner never understood my need. Thankyou so much for your words 💚

I Am never alone. I enjoy the many good voices in my head and cast out the others.🌠🤩

Loneliness versus 'onlyness'...there is an infinite difference between the two. One can still be lonely while in a crowd however when one achieves 'onlyness' there is no more loneliness. 'Onlyness' is experiencing the unity and interconnectivity of the cosmos. Thank you for this teaching. Your worlds are made more powerful as you speak from your own experience.

Loneliness feels harsh only when you can't do something yourself, practically, without assistance. When you're all right being by yourself emotionally and can cope with it practically, solitude feels ok.

I've been happily and healthfully solo and introverted for the last decade, and in that time, I have really come to Love myself and my own company. Some people take it personally, but it's because they have their own expectations of me. I am going on 45 now and I realize more and more that I am not responsible for anyone's happiness except my own (and my animals!) 🙏💙

Love this! I had to go into isolation after awakening and do so much shadow work to realize we are never alone. It is quite a realization, and now I prefer my time mostly alone. You have such a peaceful presence.

I've felt extremely lonely in my past two relationships. I've been in therapy for over two years, read more books then ever in my adult life, and still struggle every day. I chose to respectfully walk away from both relationships with the most positive goodbye. I miss them both, but embracing my inadequacy, shame, unworthiness, insecurities and unhealed wounds is my focus and what's best for mental and emotional health. Thank you, you are appreciated!

In the mid-2000s, I got involved with a group of about 30-40 people who would get together once a year to hang out in Death Valley. I considered them to be "friends." I was misguided, and I learned this the hard way. A "friend" of mine was a narcissist who had a motive for spreading lies about me. That group of people believes all of the lies, and ruined my life. I learned the hard way that they were never truly my friends, and that they were using me to get what they wanted. Long story short, MySpace was very popular, and I worked there. Looking back, they requested lots of favors. Now, I have been alone and keep to myself. I learned about my Major Depressive Disorder and High-Functioning Autism. I spent years working on that, and they were some dark times. Today, I'm mentally and physically healthy. I live alone in the middle of nowhere, and I truly enjoy it. Had I tried this in the mid-2000s, I would have felt very lonely. I don't feel the need to fit in with any groups. If I happens, I will view it as a bonus, and not the main course.

Wow wow wow I was just saying all of this. I lost my husband in 2018, then entered an incredibly toxic relationship, then was forced to embrace being alone. I was terribly depressed for a year or 2 but then, after much meditation, I noticed I quite like myself. Yes, sometimes I’m cringe, but also I have some deep thoughts that entertain the hell out of me. After getting to know myself this way I am so intolerant of surface-level conversation. So, like u said, it’s good bc I enjoy being alone, but it’s bad bc I am so picky and really make people work (not intentionally) to get my attention.

Thank you, we are all very blessed, grateful and thankful for your kind heart, soft ways and wise words. I have known for decades (I'm 56) that one needs to love, trust and respect themselves before one can truly love, trust and respect others. When you said the word 'intimate' a bell went off, for that is the perfect word, just one word says it all. Peace to you friend..❤🙏💜

We don't always want to be physically with other people... but we need to know they are there for us. That deep feeling nourishes you too. Knowing there is a community there is a hug to the soul too. A balance with the main one: the precious love for your own Self.

Thank you. A big feeling I have about aloneness is that it is selfish. Or meaningless. That meaning comes from helping others. Although I don't know how to help others. Or myself. I've been alone most of my life now it seems. Isolated. I haven't done well with it. I've been delirious in my isolation. Fallen into the labyrinth. Yes, I need to accept my aloneness. But I need a meaningful interaction with others, a purpose

Beautiful video from a beautiful person 😍

I always felt lonely. Was very depressed in my early to mid 20’s. Started coming out of my shell the last few years. Had 3 relationships; none of them worked out so now im alone again and I am craving companionship. Combating loneliness is not a easy feat. Thank you Nada for this video. ❤ divine timing with this one!

This video is talking real truth. Most people are brought up to think there is something wrong with being alone. The reaction to being alone is fear and panic. When you get deeper it is a revelation when you discover the truth.

I can relate to this a lot. I’m alone pretty much all of the time as well. Since I was a child pretty much- friends came and went, but nowadays no friends, no family, no real community. There is more peace, but also the lonely needy feelings come up too. I have had a resistance to being alone too- spending a lot of time on the internet etc. but recently coming to terms in acceptance and embracing it too, by sitting a lot in meditation. I realize that many people surround themselves with others and activities to avoid this exact feeling. Since my life doesn’t have many distractions, I can acutely feel this. And all those feelings are constantly coming up in me. I used to cover it up with food too but lately my desire for food too is much less which is a good sign that I’m becoming more okay with being with myself. What I like these days in my slow living is taking my time doing yoga asanas and stretching the body, whatever it feels like doing- it feels good like I’m connecting with myself. Also sitting in meditation and walking alone in nature. The contrast with this slow alone living is jarring when encountering other people who are in the fast lane. Superficial obligatory interactions with the birth family are now starting to feel unbearable and I almost never reach out to them or others for that matter. I kind of rest and see what comes along. Like a leaf, a wind decides to move this leaf into some interactions or settings, then I move there, otherwise I’m kind of floating along in a very different way from the rest of the world and I don’t feel motivated to be a part of those active scenes that are frantically doing this or that.

excellent truth here on this channel.

Thank you for your wisdom. Along the lines of befriending the self, we have to work against the cultural myth that the solitary soul is a troubled and even dangerous soul. True for some, sadly, but certainly not for all.

Thank you for taking the time making these videos and uploading them. I know they can take up a lot of time to do so. Your video are inspiring to me and I hope they are more so to others. I suffer from dyslexia as well as ADHD, OCD, Misophonia, social anxiety, anxiety as well as depression. Last year, you could say I had a awakening, i thought so deeply about life and what it’s really means to be alive, I thought about the government system I was born into. I thought about people and how self absorbed they can be, i thought about how social media and the TV destroys your soul and it’s all designed for you to feed off of it. My next thought was about fame, money power and trends, I can’t see any true happiness in it all, and music we listen to that has no real meaning. I find that I can’t find pleasure in these things. I don’t know if it is just me, but I just don’t like football, but how can billions of people be wrong. My ideal life would be to live with nature, to live in a field next to the woods with a stream. Distance my self from this man made illusion that is called a system. Your videos have made me think of different ways of thinking deeper about my self and pulling me away from my unconscious thoughts that I have been programmed with all these years. I believe that we should not judge or have an opinion about other and just have acceptance. Since my awakening, I have stopped smoking and drinking overnight. My main goal is to be at peace with myself and try to take advantage of everything natural around us. I find that I am no longer rushing around or getting annoyed with people. I seem to stay very calm in heavy traffic now. I believe you’re videos have helped me become who I am now.

Thank you! I can relate to everything you said. I am entering the acceptance phase and everything is becoming clearer. I am more at peace and the quiet is priceless. I'm out once a week with two or three friends, I enjoy the moment but when it comes time to go home, it feels even better.

The timing of this video is so accurate

Well, I do not have anyone to withdraw from. I am 71 now and do not have Any deep relationships, so I do not have Any and I feel terribly sad every Day I am not desperate, but it is very difficult to find deep relationship as it always was ! The only thing that had become different is, that I am nit desperate amymore !

Learning how to be alone is CRITICAL in 2023. The biggest public health emergency on the horizon is not a virus, it is *narcissism*. No joke. We have one group of people who are liberating from the delusion of a separate self, and another doubling down on ego. And with the internet and social media, it's happening globally and quickly. I gave up on politics, I meditate and pray now.

All suffering is a thought

This is so true and liberating!! ❤️🙏❤️

Living with the ability to connect with myself as an individual and to learn how to enjoy my own company has been a remarkable experience for my life. It has enabled me to be in a relationship with another person without any fear of them leaving or having a life of their own. I have been married for 40years and we are respectful of each other and ourselves. Not having a relationship that is based on us doing things together as a result of the opinions of others. We are very happy with our love and the beauty of the blessings of being together when we are both engaged in a healthy and timely manner. We both enjoy the time we spend alone with our own unique creative and delightful experiences. It is a process of being present in our own lives with appreciation and gratitude for all of our needs and our individual ways of being true to ourselves and to each other. It enhances the togetherness of our lives when we are sharing our lives in understanding and comfort. Not being dependent upon each other for our joy and comfort. I am very grateful for the opportunities that we both have because of our energies of love and support without any fear, clinging or judgment and the trust and the blessings of finding our own personal journeys and strengths. Attachment should be flexible and in a place of communion with equality and respect.

Very well said.. can totally identify with what you are saying. Thank you so much

I basically agree with your view on walking the spiritual path, but it sometimes feels hard to live this experience, especially when you want to compensate childhood hurts. Nevertheless connectedness with yourself and others seems to be the solution for not feeling lonely. Thanks for your insight.

Thank you for your wise words. 🙏 I have no problem to be alone. But I struggle so much of feeling deprived of love, connection and affection. Your words are of great support. Thank you so much. Embracing loneliness even though right now, I'm just craving for intimacy... I guess this is it. I have no other choice than to accept anyway.

I don't have the will to be around people and trying to understand it; but I do still have the feeling of wanting a lover or soulmate

Your words are so powerful.

yup, this summarizes me 110%

This came at the right time for me. I have just lost a friendship, and I now realize I wasn't valued as me in it. Thank you so much for your kind wise guidance. ❤

Wonderful insight 👏🏻 One issue does come up for those who are comfortable with their own company and have no friends. You will need someone to accompany you if you end up needing surgery one day. Hospitals don’t allow you to go by yourself.🦋

YES! THANK YOU!! ❤️❤️❤️ I really like your perspective, great self discovery. I have found this to be true in my own experience. I'm learning to love myself more and more everyday.

this really resonated with me. i’m only 20 but i get really sad i don’t have many friends or even a true best friend anymore. makes me feel like i’m wasting my youth not going out but maybe it’s for the best.

Thank you for sharing your story. I've been facing my loneliness for soon a year, and I've only now come to accept it. That I can't hold onto to people I think might come back into my life again, and the things that might or might not happen. I had this odd vision of walking into the ocean, where my aim was to go into the unknown. The second day I drew a random oracle card, where the theme was diving into the ocean and face and ambrace the unkown. For some reason I find this unkown and loneliness to be connected...

What you said is true. I still feel alone even when I'm surrounded by people be it family or friends or partner. I'm scared of being with myself. I guess I gotta learn how to sit with my feelings. Thanks for making this video. Means a lot.

Man cannot discover new Oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Thank you so very much,.... cause i'm going through what you are talking about..... I live alone and LOVE IT.... i'm pisces and 74 Years YOUNG..... Blessings to You Brother Yves in Qc Canada

Loneliness is the absence of connection. If you find a connection to source, god, he, she, it whatever that may be to you.... You will never be lonely all is one. It's okay to be alone, but you should never be lonely.

Thank You for this video. I needed this. I've been battling this for a while now.

I just wanted to take a few seconds to thank you for all your videos. I have longed to hear about the thoroughly investigated experiences you recount in your videos by like minded individuals, but have not thus far. I am at the stage in my "hero's journey" where your videos are like signposts that I am on the right track. I am profoundly grateful for your insights, generosity and timeless videos. Blessings to you!

Always great to hear your message! 🙏🏼🙂

Loneliness comes when all our days spent in self-centredness. The very acting of self-centredness is producing loneliness Don't escape loneliness. Look into it, stay with it. Then the flower would blossom which is entirely different. - Jiddu Krishnamurti

Loneliness has followed me my whole life. In Bars in cars, on sidewalks in stores. There's no escape, I'm God's lonely man.

What a beautiful experience to listen to this. Thank you.

wow.....

Thank you for this timely message 🙏

Perfectly my present situation

My former mates from the big city made me feel alone they let me know time and time again that I wasn't worthy and I should give up on my dreams which made me feel worthless But then I started my solo travels across western Australia so much joy I received through doing to this 😃

Thank you for this. I hear so much how science has proven that people live longest and healthiest when they have lots of contact with other people. And, I was beginning to worry my preference to abstain from social affairs was unhealthy. I feel a lot better now now.

Wonderful words of deep wisdom ~Namaste~💖

Love to be all on my own.

I realy love your channel. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It realy has helped me with mine ❤

Very good video 😎

Sure do appreciate you! Peace and blessings!

Blessings, dear one.

I am grateful to universe for helping me to come out of that loop in this lifetime. Be casual with everyone, but close to only few whom you can connect at higher dimensions. Gain knowledge from everyone, help whoever is in need. Observe everything what you are doing consciously. Then you will realise, how much time you are wasting for unnecessary things in the world. Always be connected with nature and spiritual energy surrounding you.

When you truly awaken you will realise that there is no we, you, me and every other being that ever was or ever will be is you.

I love you. Thank you! 🙏

❤Thank u Nada!

Love and miss you nada baba! ❤

Thankyou

AMEN! Thank you for taking the time to help others..

Thank you. Needed to hear this

Thank you. ☮

I love you. Thanks

Thank you for this. I needed to hear these words.

Maybe I don't get it... When big events happen in your life, good or bad, and you feel very happy or very sad, don't you feel like sharing your emotions with a friend and talk about the situation? If you don't have any friends, by choice or not, what do you do when you would really need to talk to someone?

Dear Nada, I am enjoying being alone until. The creator of the universe has decided to send a divinely spiritual person to me Until then. I'm good.

Thank you for your wonderful thoughts on this channel. It helps me a lot on my journey of spiritual growth and healing. It's very deep and insightful. Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom 😊😇 Please could you make a video on some books and other resources on spiritual wisdom which you follow too.

You are such an amazing Spiritual Teacher 🙏🏼✨ I am sooo happy I came across your channel by chance. I’ve had a spiritual awakening three years ago and everything you’ve explained about the single life and finding yourself has been so true for me. It’s taken me many lessons to figure bits and pieces of what you just shared out. I wish I had found your channel sooner and save myself some grief. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom with us! Stay blessed 🙏🏼✨

You're a genius of soul

Your videos are so helpful. Could you do one on forgiveness?

❤

Why i am feeling so unloved, ignored, so small like always begging for something?

I have had three relationships. I worked in the medical field 17 years. I am single now and work for FedEx. I am alone most of the time and it has been a real struggle. I know it is the best for me as I need to accept myself.

I love being by myself but the thought I am having is I also need more social interaction. And would love to have more spiritual friends. Alone vs Isolation. Maybe missing have a spiritual community to fight the isolation. I love being with me, working on myself but miss having that , a community and friends who follow a spiritual path. The ones I have are more interested in material things and I respect them and love them and spend quality time with them too. Any thoughts?

There's no loneliness, there's just only you. You came alone you'll leave likewise.

👁🙏👁

💯👍

I'm much better off on my own

Where you live? Which country

Into me see

I never feel lonely and I love a man with who I just connect sexually very good ♡

I wonder just how many of us lonely ones are INFJ super EMPATHS .

Thank you
