    I took myself out on my first solo “date” in my early 20’s. It felt weird at first, but it became necessary to push myself to be comfortable alone more so in public, I’m an introvert too. I had a 4 course meal that day and it was glorious. I encourage everyone I know to get to know themselves this way. I’ve also gone for drinks and a movie solo. I’m working up to traveling on my own. It’s pretty great to know you can do anything on your own if you choose to. Plus if you can’t like you then how can anyone else?

    One of my fondest memories:
    Came home after a year stationed in South Korea, bought a new truck, drove by myself from NY to WA State. Seeing America like that - by myself - from the perspective of someone who was in a very foreign culture for a year - it was amazing. It would have taken away from the experience had someone been with me, I think.

    I feel ya man! I’m 25 and single. Bought a house a little over a year ago. I wanted to go on some trips because I have this desire to explore and camp in the wilderness. I kept telling myself I wanted to wait to experience these things with my future wife, but it hit me that we aren’t promised tomorrow, and if I wanted to do something I just need to go do it. So I drove 18 hours to the Grand Canyon over Spring Break last year and hiked to the bottom and back up in one day (something I told myself I wanted to do before I died). I’m planning another trip this Spring Break and it’s been on my mind to go to other places this summer when I’m not working. This video has helped me decide that I am going to do just that.
    If anyone has made it this far into my comment, just know that tomorrow may never come. Your desires today may never happen if you wait to see them out. Go and do what it is you’ve been pushing off until so and so happens. There is no better time than the present.

    My dude, it’s so refreshing hearing a fit and young guy talk about eating at restaurants alone.
    As a ”big guy” and always have been a big guy, I can relate so much to what you were saying. I’ve learned the last 4 years, for me, that it’s about being totally selfcentered and imagining the whole world revolves around me and everybody watching my every move and thinking that I knew what people were thinking about me because that’s how I would think about me or them.
    As you said, it is such a freedom to be comfortable in your own company at any place.

    Personally since losing my other half I’m enjoying the solitude. He taught me a lot about doing things on my own and so far his advice served me well. I still have our two dogs and although having to return to the workforce coming home to quiet has been a blessing. If you start to feel alone a dog serves as a great companion. Yes my dogs miss him but the loss has brought us closer. You can come and go when you want and only have to answer to my four legged kids. My time is that mine and we go when we want. Nice!!

I’ve lived with a couple of boy friends . I’ve lived with my oldest daughter and her husband and kids and now I live and take care of my 91 year old father . But after he passes away I want to buy a van and live in it all by myself except for my dogs . Right now I got three and they’re my fur babies .

    I'm also an introvert, can relate to what you said. Interestingly enough, there's a side of me that's not introverted, I used to front a band and play in front of big crowds of people in clubs, but the day after a gig I'd always have to be totally alone to decompress from the massive stimulation and energy being around large groups can bring. Now I've chosen photography as my creative outlet which is great because it's singular and I love working alone.

    I’m a “loner”. I usually feel pretty down about myself, idk why but for some reason this video made me feel ok for a bit. I guess it’s nice to just know it’s ok to not be the center of attention. That it’s ok to just cruise by myself. I don’t really know what I’m saying… thanks Mav and take care man.

    As a fellow introvert I can totally relate and I have early on reached a point where I got over people challenging my need for alone time and slowly everybody either accepted it or those few who didn’t, are no more a part of my life.

    Grew up with three sisters and four brothers and rarely was there a moment of solitude. My parents had a van they used for camping and that was my go-to spot. I'd sit/lay out there for hours on end reading (which was my favorite thing to do). As an adult I am very social and love my big family and group of friends. *But I enjoy solitude and try to get it as much as possible. So I can relate Mav.*

    Great segment. So relatable. I get tremendous power, recharging and self confidence when I set off by myself. No phone and the fewer folks I see the better. It makes the next time I’m in a group that much more easier to tolerate and more positive. Knowing I can dip out on a trail or hike the next day is powerful stuff. Keep on truckin😎

    I'm an introvert too. Even family gatherings take a lot out of me, and I can't wait to get back home (I live alone). I spend a majority of my time by myself, which is how I like it. However, a few years ago I went on vacation alone to Japan for two and a half weeks. The last two weeks of which I spent wandering all over Tokyo, the most populated city on the planet. I loved every minute of it. So I do have my extroverted moments.

      I have siblings but often find myself extrovert and introvert also. I live in the woods by myself. And like to be my own boss just like Mr. Mav. It's more of an in look conscious thing to me. You don't always need to give your energy to others. And simply people who can't be alone just haven't found some type of inner peace. And need others influences to survive.

      As long as one doesnt feel like he is going in the wrong direction and feeling depression of being alone..sometimes being alone is the best remedy for peace and to find yourself, i would say.
      Some can't handle being alone though, make sure to know yourself.

    • @leahwilliams9333
      @leahwilliams9333 Před 2 lety

      Idk man...I feel like nearly everytime I see people I am more depressed/less at peace. Sincerely can't stand filling my head with their experiences. I don't like them. I really need to figure out why. I think I'm just nervous and feel like they're competing with me a bit. I really should address that. It's rather unhealthy but I'm genuinely not desiring friendship beyond my immediate family and have been that way most of my life. It is so exhausting.

  • @bonniepwtf

Being comfortable with myself is a good place to be, and it took me much longer than you to get there. Safe journeys to you and may the year ahead be your best ever. Keep on truckin!

      You need to realize I mean you've already done half the work because you realize that people are draining. But you also have to realize that you don't need other people. They might need you but you don't need them. There's other things you can do with your life to make it fulfilling without depending upon others and what they think. Make them accept you for you, instead of them expecting you to accept them.

      I had a 1970 VW bus that I customized with copper paint and I redid the interior I did the exterior but the one thing I painted on the outside was "Be who you are not what people expect you to be. " I painted that like 40 years ago and I still think it holds true
