How are you feeling?
Good
Better after watching this 😊
More connected after listening to this. Thank you. Blessings and comfort to all who need it
You have helped open my mind and my soul, thank you!
Loneliest we've ever been. All while wearing illusionary mask on social media platforms. Distracting ourselves with utter bullshit online, all while wearing our mask.
Great video
some folks can handle being alone much better then others ! I'm my best friend , i spend time with myself and i get too know myself for who i truly am
Thank you for the insights. I've had a few confidante relationships fizzle out and have felt the impact. It's useful to understand what defines a quality relationship. They are rare but 100% worth maintaining.
A year later.....great video...thank you. May all be well.
I've seen 2 of your videos. The one of the problem with meditation apps and this one . Both are great and let me thinking a lot. Thanks so much for making them.
Thanks 🙏 for the video yes the cost of loneliness is high believe me I know !
As an alone person, I know that it is more bothersome to have someone that you don't resonate with, living with you, than being solitary.Meditation has taught me that everying eminates from our consiousness, including the concept of aloneness.If we allow it to bother us, it can become deabilitating......If we understand that we can exist in stillness, and enter this dimension alone; and leave the same way; it becomes bareable and survivable.......................Having people around constantly, is similar to having thoughts in our head all the time.For any positive spiritual progress to be made we require aloneness, without becoming too lonely in the process.........My cats ease some of this lonliness for me ,but they gained the habit of taking control and now demand feedings in the middle of the night.More of them than there are of me, in this house.
I feel that I am alone, always. But I feel that I am never alone, because I know that we are all interconnected. Like the cells in our bodys
absolutely correct !
Very well done Julianne...thanks for sharing.
The Moral Lesson I got from this video.
"Ape strong together"
hahaha true that 🚀🚀🚀
Thank you. Needed this.
Thank you for the video, I am very happy to see you have found happiness with that process, considering where you are coming from. This said, I think, we do tend to forget the second and third brains : Gut and heart. They contain neurons and they are also proved to play a huge role (main role ?) in all of this. They are tons of research on the second brain for many other reasons. I am just wondering how psychedelics act on those brains. If someone has info on this.
I have only watched two of your videos so far and they are ‘the truth’ having done my own research on this subject fir many years. Thankyou
Great work 👍
Excellent......
Another great video. always loving your take on so many different topics involving mental health.
Thank you! I will continue to make them :)
There are so many points and areas that you touched on that can be expanded even more but one thing that really resonates with me is the connection and having that "confidant". To think that so many people in the world don't have this and those of us that do can take that for granted. I can also relate to those who have people around them but still have that feeling of "loneliness", we've all been there.
100%. Loneliness is a subjective feeling. There is power in knowing that it's subjective. It means you have the power to seek out the connections that edify you!
this is too true. i have roommates and am surrounded by “friends” all the time yet i’ve never felt more emotionally isolated because i feel like i have my guard up 24/7
15 years of isolation maybe hasn't been the best thing for me
same boat here , take advantage and get too know yourself you be surprised how enlightened and pleasant your own company can be , nothing less then that , your much stronger then what you think you are this i promise you , keep being you and smile as much as you can
Watched yesterday and getting around to post a comment during my lunch break. Things are very much back to baseline at work, and grateful for all this little sometimes very meaningful face-to-face interactions I have here. I almost thrive on these moreso with family, but that's another story.
...part of the story is a struggle with my mom, bless her, but she's hard wired and still very much emotionally impregnated into past behaviors that have taken a toll on our family and her. Yep... addiction related stuff. She's still my mother, but as I've been slingshot into adulthood I can see her as just another person, and sometimes that helps with distancing myself from emotional aspects of the family dynamic (not always easy to do).
You'd mentioned having a confidant.
Warning, more Mom stuff: I entrusted her with some sensitive information in 2016 and I hope for a non judgemental response, but it ended up in criticism and her sharing information about me that was intended for her ears only. Luckily I do have a really close friend in who's been in D.C. for the last 6 years that I can talk to on an interpersonal level.
Gosh, loneliness is a struggle when wanting to have deep connections with family and when it's not there. I'm grateful for my siblings when it comes to this, but we're all busy running around pretending or trying to do the adult life responsible thing (some of which I believe is kind of a joke)... there's a lot more enlightening things than running around and chasing obligations, work and trying to do the sound financial investigating things. I joke sometimes about how when all the financial stuff matures, it's going to make my future doctors very happy. (Bad joke).
Thanks for your video. Funny how even a simple chat with someone regarding a common matter or interest can bring great comfort.
Hmmm! Interesting family dynamic. You mentioned your dad is an HSP, no? My dad is an HSP and mom has narcissistic tendencies. At this point, this quality about her has no power over me. I’ve come to terms with it fully and am able to see her for who she is without expecting her to change, but it’s been a journey, I’ll tell you that. I can relate to the sense of grief you must have felt when you realized that the mother you had expected/ believed you should have had - isn’t there. There’s grief in that that only you can fully understand.
I feel like I’m at the point in my spiritual development now that I can look back on everything that’s happened and feel perfectly settled about it. Had it not been for the conditions of my past, I wouldn’t be where I am now (internally speaking). I realize spiritual development unfolds differently and at different points for different people. Earlier this year I became close to someone who was far more spiritually/emotionally developed than me. I couldn’t understand him then, but I feel like I would (at least a little bit better) now. Had he pushed his beliefs on me then, I probably would have been put off it. Thankfully he didn’t. He remains one of my greatest inspirations to date (and we don’t even talk anymore).
^ that is to say - perhaps your siblings will come around one day.. could you be detached from either outcome? (Rhetorical question .. I get the impression that the most spiritually “woke” among us would find content in almost any situation)
@@JulianneKeu 130am. Bedtime! I'll write when my brain's fresh and in order :) Again, thanks for the relatable topic.
just accept it i am enjoying it so far i am lonely i am not alone I have got my cat princess being lonely keep me safe in my own world I have being bullied by horrible people they take advantage of you and they make fun of you they laugh behind your back and I feel I have lost my self confidence I don't trust anyone anymore it is better to be alone than to be bullied i don't need anyone anymore
This is the perfect video for the time that we are in.. And you are definitely write about having moments of feeling most lonely when surrounded by people.. It's interesting and almost paradoxical.. But through this odd time I am doing fine, how are you feeling?
I'm doing well! Recently reread The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Was much needed. Have you read it?
@@JulianneKeu That book has been on my list to read for quite a while now! I have had a few friends recommend the book to me..
Did you gain further knowledge reading it the second time?
💚⭐
No wonder im 29 and all fucked up.... depression leaded to long term isolation and that affected my health...by quite a bit
I hear you. I've been depressed more times than I could count.. did a calculation recently for a recent video.. I've spent over 50% of my adult life on antidepressants and other prescription meds. Things do change though. Look into microdosing!
@Julianne Keu i stopped with all psychiatrical meds at the beginning of 2019 at one point i was taking like 3-4 of them at the same time including antidepressants, anticonvulsants and antipsychotics (not for psychosis just depression). All on max dosage...i improved alot when i stopped them and it took me like a year to tapper them off slowly...After stopping then i managed to stop smoking and had a radical change in diet (switched from trash food to a 100% natural diet. No sugars of any type) But while in many areas i improved other major areas also took a hit...i lost 100% of my self-esteem and i became way less sociable on top of what i already was... rarely even socializing online.
Tried mushroom for the firs time last Saturday...went with a macrodose of 1.5 grams .. didn't had any magical insight or anything but afterwards some things changed i had the afterglow and was more present and became very organized...not depression free though but it did helped quite a bit ...
Yesterday i took just a little bit probably around 0.7 to 0.5 and i will do that every 3 days to try the microdosing... Im also looking for a psychologist willing to work with me on a proper therapeutical macrodose which is quite a high dosage but i don't have the courage to do it alone by myself plus i think i would benefit more if done with therapy
But the social isolation is quite extreme i lost all my friends and the isolation happened for years...the cognitive decline is extremely noticable to the point of me going to neurologists because i was afraid i was developing some type of dementia due to a severe brainfog..my health started declining in other aspects as well like i have a mysterious condition that left me full of lymph nodes (yes its scary and i also went through unimaginable stress due to that) and its been like 2 years on that...had biopsies and everything.. nothing...feels like my body might be self destructing which doesn't help much too and i wouldn't doubt much of this could be linked to social isolation :(
@@JulianneKeu btw your channel is amazing and i loved all the topics you been approaching. Definitely can see you been putting alot of effort..i know the beginning is hard and very slow but trust me you have the content and the quality of big channels (which is not common for a small channel)..im willing to bet that if u keep up your channel will grow alot
People are always on my ass to get out more. I've only been sober for a year and I do suffer brain damage from alcohol. I live in a city where I know no one. Only the beer store.
Being alone is really teaching me I'm more of a wolf and a protecter. Maybe it's the Capricorn in me always looking and scoping everything out before I make any moves. I was drinking since 2015. So you can't even imagine how excited things made me because I was so numb and mindless before like a zombie. It sounds weird to people when you explain to them you're 25 with brain damage. I get overly excited, even food taste different. Taking these pills have opened me up to figure out that being alone doesnt bother me. I bother people because they think I'm lazy but my mind never stops. I hope one day I can meet someone as solid and grounded as you are. I just have to be more gentle with myself. That's what I'm learning and not beating myself up. I even knocked my front teeth out, that sure tells you I was in a bad place. I'm fucking happy now and even though I'm struggling I still have my inner child.
Curb your magical thinking. you may really have brain damage from drinking.
Babygirl!!!! Lol 😗
Well, I'm extremely lonely. I don't understand why nobody loves me. I'm hoping I can find a way to connect to people. I'm old now, 46 and nobody loves me. So I'll be alone the rest of my life. It's dangerously depressing. I wish I looked better so someone loved me.
I don't think looks are the issue... I know plenty of attractive people who also feel chronically lonely. You left a comment here so I'm assuming you were inviting some sort of feedback. There's my honest opinion for you. Dating for the most part is a numbers game. Do the internal work required + treat it as a numbers game, and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for one day soon.
funny, my confident is my cat; I cant trust anyone else.
So...we are fucked.
Not necessarily! Not if we can be open about our vulnerabilities (but then again.. easier said than done) :/
