The path of nonconformity is alluring to those who don’t seek to follow the herd known as a society. Instead, they want to make unique individual choices in life, disregarding other people’s opinions and defying society’s norms. And in doing so, they follow their inner compass, their own definitions of right and wrong, and ideas of what’s desirable and undesirable. However, such a way of life could evoke resistance from one’s surroundings and lead one to become a social outcast or get in trouble with the law. This video explores the loner's path (philosophy for non-conformists).

I enjoyed lockdown. I valued the different perspectives and pace of life one was able to observe. I've never seen the streets so empty; nor was the city I live in (London) so quiet. It saddens me that few people seem to have taken much away from that experience and just wish to return to 'normal'...

@nvmffs 2 года назад

Yeah, tell me about....the problem as I see it is that people these days are utterly incapable of empathy. And I mean real empathy. Yes, the sight of an animal being hurt before them would probably make them feel bad for a few minutes but that's not real empathy. They just felt bad because it happened before them. They wouldn't lose their sleep over it. I do lose my sleep when I know that someone/some animal needs me or that I can disappoint them in any way. Naturally, emapthy is much more than just concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. It means actively trying and being able to imagine yourself in their place. And that's the biggest obstacle it seems. Nobody's trying. What's worse, that seems to exacerbate with age.

@alwells5779 2 года назад

I don't find solitude to be all that great. Today, everyone is celebrating solitude it like it's some higher plane of existence. It's in our music and culture. These are the messages I hear and am sick of hearing... 'Thank You Next', 'Love Yourself', "be your own best friend', etc, etc. We now even seem to admonish people who say that they want things like a lover, friends, family as if they are not healthy as another who is happy to live in solitary confinement. As a person who has been living a solitary life for a lot of years, I am okay with being the outlier that says that life is better when you connect to a simpatico companion than it is being your own companion in solitude. Honestly, I’m sick of being alone all the damn time and yet I'm also not interested in being what anyone else says I must be in order to not be alone. I find this state more of one that is a constant challenge than one that is some utopia to strive for.

That's so spot on. They say that when a person is all on their own, they begin to realise things about themselves that they wouldn't have noticed if they were around others. Solitude can bring true clarity and mindfulness 👍 But that's why a lot of people don't like to be on their own, it's like they're afraid of what they might discover, and maybe they wouldn't be able to deal with it.

@thexel133 2 года назад

Being alone and feeling lonely are very different states of being. I've gone my own way and feel much better than when I was following the "herd's" path. Although, there is a sense of loneliness that seems to becoming more intense. Every choice has a price. Going with the herd has more comfort, going your own way has more sense of purpose. I guess the real question is how to find like minded individuals? In my day to day interactions, it seems extremely improbable.

@irenashiloh8808 2 года назад

I agree with this. I started feeling happy in my own company when I stayed all alone and couldn't run away from the internal conflicts, until they were resolved just by me putting up with the inner battle and participating in it actively. That communication was crucial to my demons leaving me alone. I use the help of philosophy and meditation to work through my pain, and I use nice distractions (humor, art, friends) to rest from that inner battle. Our biggest problem, in my opinion, is our unresolved relationship with death.

Many people are in a relationship because they were led to believe that is the only way to live a happy life. Only to find out later that being in a relationship was never what they wanted. This is a very personal preference, one which you must carefully decide for yourself. Solitude can be beautiful, but it can also be destructive, same applies to being in a relationship. It's important to know that your path to happiness depends entirely on you, not on what others tell you will make you happy.

@hagoryopi2101 Год назад

I have that problem, too. I love people, but also love being alone sometimes. And I hate the misunderstandings caused by when I need to be alone, because I know I'll want to be with these people again later, just not always now. I hate when it feels like my own interests and those of others are at odds. I can be driven to counterproductive extremes like self-destructive people pleasing, and resentful toxicity, because of these conflicts. I'm kind of a loner who wants to represent his own ideas and values, but part of the joy of that value is contributing it to and sharing it with other people, especially when these are niche values which conformity cannot offer! Learning to be patient with myself and with others has been helping. As has learning to communicate better and healthily enforce boundaries. Some of us aren't taught that growing up, but you can still learn for yourself. There will be suffering, but the suffering would not be possible if there were not better things to pursue, things you care about and know you can achieve! So keep your course in life.

I knew better and used my discretion to keep me on the right path. But then I decided I wanted to start a company. A record label, where I’d be a leader. So I tried being the way I normally am (judgmental) and it didn’t work. I never made friends for long, had trouble networking and couldn’t wrap my head around the collaborative process. Despite being amazing at my craft and impressing people, it was impossible to build a team with all my internalized reservations. So I thought back to my childhood and realized that part of my personality had served its purpose and I needed to dial it back. I wasn’t surrounded by stupidity anymore, I was around masters and partners who I wanted to learn from, and I couldn’t let my defensiveness kill my dream. So I gave in a little, and then a little more. Until I could finally harmonize with personalities that completely contradicted my own and we could be productive together. But I still use my strong judgment to keep me out of trouble sometimes. You learn to use an emotion in an extreme way first, then dial it back as you become familiar with its use cases

I refused the covid vax, refused to conform to lockdown, took long walks in the nearby countryside with sandwiches & flask of soup most days. I’m not lonely, never have been, just enjoy my quiet peaceful life 😊

@lecomtedeneuch9994 2 года назад

All of my life I was just a side character in someone else story. I always ran after people, relationships. I never had a long term girlfriend and I'm 27 years old. I don't have friends at the moment and if I'm honest throughout my life, I had to adapt myself so much to others to not be alone which led me to suffering most of the time. Adaptation is being able to adjust yourself so you can have normal conversations with people however it will never reward you with their friendship (mostly because it's faked). As It turns out, most adults (30+ and above) like me quite a lot and people under (25 - ) don't like me that much or are rather indifferent towards me. I try so hard to have friends and a girl and that is why I always failed. It shouldn't be forced, it shouldn't be hard. If you go search for people out of fear, you won't find your tribe in this world. Yes ! We have to go against conformity. You can't fight you own nature and NO, you shouldn't adapt to society standards, you shouldn't suppress your needs and your morals for a love interest or anyone at all. I believe in better times ahead because I'm now working on myself. I just wish the pain of loneliness to not be so hard to endure (I have suicidal thoughts for 2 months now).

@louiselinton2845 2 года назад

Please concentrate on learning to understand and support yourself. It is nice to have friends but only if they are real and do not expect you to compromise your values to fit theirs. One can feel lonelier in a crowd than by oneself. Never give up yourself to fit others, it won't work or give any satisfaction. At 27 you are still very young! I am 66 lol. One or a handful of real friends who accept and like you as you are is vastly superior to a ton of acquaintances. Find out who you are and be that, without compromise. You may find real friends by volunteering for a charity you vibe with, at least you will have something in common and it may help with self worth, if that is an issue. Be kind to yourself, as well as others.

After accepting this and of course realising that being so low didn’t kill you, you can lift your heart and mind and begin to look up to the light. If you have nothing and can find peace and happiness, then all that comes after will be enlightening and positive. We don’t need any ‘thing ‘to make us happy, because happiness is a state of mind..

A rebel is a person who stands up for their own personal opinions despite what anyone else says. A true rebel stands up for what they believe is right, not against what's right! It's not about smoking crack, drinking till you're rendered unconsious, or beating the crap out of anyone that crosses your path. It's all about being an individual and refusing to follow a crowd that forces you to think the same way they do, even if it means becoming an outcast to society. True rebels know who they are and do not compromise their individuality or personal opinion for anyone. They're straightforward and honest and they will sure as hell tell it like it is.

I've kinda just accepted the fact that life has chosen me to be a loner. I wouldn't consider myself to be a complete loner, I do enjoy having friends (when I'm not being utterly ignored.) I feel every time I make friends I get excluded from everything, it doesn't matter who my friends are. Throughout kindergarten to grade 3-ish, I had many friends and talked to everyone. I had a specific friend group in grade 3 in which I'd been with for a while, they started ignoring me following bullying and I've despised them since. I moved to a new house in time for grade 4 and once again, had no problem making "friends" except this time if I spoke, I'd get talked over. I'd walk around with them and if I stood still, they'd continue walking and forget I was even there to begin with. Certain people I avoid and fear to speak to even if I hadn't seen the way they talk to others before, get all panicky, and become speechless. This stuff has happened for years now and I've only had 1 person I still consider as an actual friend. They've moved pretty far recently so atm, I'm only abled to speak to them online. For now I stay distant and hyper focus on goals of mine, that's all I care about and I wont let my sad "friendships" to get in the way, Afterall, I much prefer to really be alone then to be alone aside others.

What is your definition of good? You don't believe in God, and have presumably created your own moral standard, or do you follow the moral standard of another human being? And if you do follow another human being's definition of good, why follow that particular human above all others? (Nietzsche created his own moral standard, and you can read all about his sad final years online.) Whatever a person values most in their life becomes their own personal god, whether it be themselves, another person, a hobby, etc. Everyone has a god. Whatever you desire the most and spend the most time fulfilling that desire, behold, that is your god. Jesus was a nonconformist. he spoke of the evils of society, and made many uncomfortable. Society hated Jesus so much that they put Him to death. His Resurrection still divides and infuriates people to this day. Most of today's conformist society reject Jesus, and only a few nonconformists accept Him. No Jesus, No good. Know Jesus, Know good.

Meursault felt like a sociopath to me. His indifference, lack of conscience, empty personality (just impulses) and huge social mask made me think about him in that way.

But that's the whole point! He was NOT a sociopath or a narcissist. He had some strange form of indifference toward life - probably most proximate to autism - but was misunderstood because he was unable to be like everyone else.

Right on, one must be prepared to accept the consequences of non-conformity. I was sometimes shocked by people's responses to my own stubborn disapproval of modern life. Then I realized, if I wanted to live according to my own values, I would face ridicule and disapproval. I think being alone is the hardest difficulty about this commitment, but the benefits still outweigh the drawbacks.

I was forced into being a non-conformist due to my mental disorders and neurodivergent mental landscape. For the past 23 years I've seen myself as someone who's cursed to be different and alone for my entire life. Now I understand the pressures of others demanding my conformity to be the true poison that I'm overcoming with every passing day. And I grow stronger and more interesting than the conformists will ever be. And as such, I now see my trials as a blessing of enlightenment, and am going for treatments not to erase my nonconformity, but rather to gain the tools to conform with the world in my own nonconformist way. And break away from the disorders I was MEANT to overcome.

Living like this is difficult. However I am hoping to find God through non conformity. I believe this can be done, wish you all the best.

When a person stops living by the virtues of truth he becomes dependent on other people and even if deep down he knows he is not right for abandoning truthfulness , he is also to afraid to change his life, and with fear people's abilities atrophy and become weak, and this is how they become sheep.

At a younger age, I never thought it possible a person could be lonely while surrounded by millions of people. Having grown older and wiser, I am a living example of what I thought couldn't be possible.
