    This video was inspired from a quote by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone".
    I’m noticing more and more often that people tend to avoid spending time alone, because it makes them feel lonely. Whenever they experience a form of anxiety, they seek the company of others to escape their negative thoughts.
    To be honest, I do it as well. We all do.
    But it's increasingly important to stop running away from yourself and learn to spend time alone. It doesn't mean you're lonely, it's actually quite the opposite.
    It is an invitation to deepen the connection with yourself. It is a sacred space in which you replenish your energy, explore your passions, and cultivate self-love.
    True growth comes in times when you are alone by yourself, I really do believe that. It is in those moments that you will find clarity, self-discovery, and a deeper sense of inner peace.

    What people are failing to understand about this video is he’s not saying you should be alone forever. He’s saying that by cultivating a healthy independence & better relationship with yourself you can begin to attract people who are right for you without all of the codependency. There is nothing wrong with forming lasting emotional bonds with others, the problem arises only when you are so reliant on those connections that you’d rather be around others than confront your own shadow. What he is implying is that by taking time and enjoying your own company you form a better connection to self & therefore a greater understanding of self & you are able to show up in the world as a healthier more confident person overall.

      I think a big part of people getting the anxiety is because they have insecurities they don’t take the time to feel, accept and love… all that takes time alone and self reflection. But until you put in that work your insecurities won’t leave you alone, and once you do accept them, they magically disappear. But most people try to distract themselves from them, always moving to the next distraction running from that anxiety. When the answer is to stop and face it

We, the "aware" people are in minority, I would say only 10-20% of the people are aware, sentient. So yes, we get tired from most of the people, because they are different. But it doesn't mean that the only other choice is complete loneliness. No, we just unfortunately need to try harder than the rest to find people like us. But it's worth it. Having 2-3 GOOD friends that u feel connected to is way way way better than being alone. Quality over quantity.

      I understand how challenging it can be to feel lonely despite spending a lot of time alone. It sounds like you may be longing for more meaningful connections with your peers. While enjoying time alone is important, human beings are naturally social creatures, and the need for social connection is inherent. It could be helpful to explore ways to expand your social circle and create opportunities for connection. Consider joining clubs or groups based on your interests, attending social events, or even exploring online communities to connect with like-minded individuals. It may take time and effort, but taking proactive steps towards building connections can help alleviate the sense of deep loneliness you're experiencing. Remember, reaching out and being open to new relationships can lead to fulfilling connections and a stronger sense of belonging.

I love being alone with my thoughts, but my innermost needs for even a little social interaction is the bane of my existence.

I tend to hide in my shell whenever something happens, mostly because there was never anyone who would take my problems seriously. No one to respect my moment of feeling miserable, which we all do, that's a part of life. Maybe that's the core of my loneliness. I never ask anyone to validate me. I want to, but safe enough people is such a rare occasion in my life for some reason.

Sounds stupid goofy, I know.

      Extroverts don't want to be alone, let alone learn to operate when alone.

    Love the video, but I also offer another perspective. I'm a natural introvert. Was seperated from family and raised in foster care since 9 years old. I have always been very comfortable being alone and with myself and even have a degree of social anxiety, feeling like I need to have at least some time alone every day or I'd go nuts.
    The downside to this is that me now at 35 years old, I've found it exceedingly difficult to form and maintain relationships. I can't name a single person I've known my entire life that is still with me today, and most people I know now I've only met in the last 15 or so years. I often go days or even weeks at a time without any significant interaction with another person, even online. Life feels hollow, empty, and unbearably lonely. I get crippling bouts of depression where I worry I live the rest of my life completely alone, never to form meaningful friendships or ever have a family of my own. Yes, being able to be comfortable alone with yourself is a virtue, but I also feel like (especially in today's culture), isolation can be a silent killer.

This was one of the first times i was truly unable to be around anyone. I took a moment and had a revelation: that is what life is. Being with ourselves, exploring our inner thoughts, finding who we truly are, and cherishing those moments when it’s just you and god.

    No better feeling than being lonely/alone at a place you have been years ago with friends that is now abandoned. I think it cured some of the emotional void I would say loneliness is:
    We used to have a small place in the woods as kids where we built a little shelter with rocks to sit on and interior like small chairs and stuff.
    Now, 10 years later I revisited and had to hack trough thick brush and trees to get there, bur it was worth the thorns and the scratches.
    It looked like I had remebred it, only now overgrown and old, but still with a feeling of childish innocence and the dreams we had of building a little cabin in the woods.
    It felt nostalgic, but with a huge sense of melancholy and like I abandoned a part of my life in these woods that stayed there for me to revisit one day.
    It even got kind of eerie as the sun set down, in a way that I have to abandon this place again, but this time forever.
    I still vividly remember the bike ride home, embraced by orange warm sunlight, like I was closing a chapter in my life. I even shed a tear or two, or more.
    But now, 3 years later, I still recall this day as a major shift in my life that made me feel less lonely, connecting with my childhood memory.

    There is a flip side to everything. I am a shut-in or what people would call an isolated person. I haven't had a meaningful social interaction or friend in three or four years. What we seek are friendships that meet our needs. It's when the need is not met people have a tendency to withdraw from society whether good or bad

      yeah exactly this, most people here don't get it. They just think alone= good, with people= bad. Yeah go and try to be alone for 5 years. Good luck buddy. We, the "aware" people are in minority, I would say only 10-20% of the people are aware, sentient. So yes, we get tired from most of the people, because they are different. But it doesn't mean that the only other choice is complete loneliness. No, we just unfortunately need to try harder than the rest to find people like us. But it's worth it. Having 2-3 GOOD friends that u feel connected to is way way way better than being alone. Quality over quantity.

      @@JAKE-ng8yr I get how you feel, sometimes people be like that but hey being alone helps you understand your values and personality more so that can help you find people.
      For me, I know I just need to meet people who align with my political views because generally we share the same values and can have some solidarity in that. For you maybe its a hobby or a career path, but trust me you'll find good people again and even if they leave, all things shall pass even if it takes nearly an eternity.

    It is very true. I embraced solitude couple years ago and it really did improve resilience, awareness and reflection as well as understanding of myself, facing my emotions and regrets head on and it did bring about a strange and unexpected clarity and recovery. Havnt dived into new hobbies or activities so I think it an element for me it wasn’t needed.
    It also gave me a lot of growth and maturity and inner peace as well as mastery over emotions but above all an egoless state.

    I’ve said it once and i’ll say it again - you really have a gift making videoes Rolands! Amazing shots, captivating story and a beautiful message - the thought of loneliness can be scary, but being alone dosen’t necessarily mean being lonely. I’ve struggled alot with this and I really try to embrace the enjoyment of being alone since your the only person your gonna be with 100% for the rest of your life. I still have a long way to go, but remember guys, one small step at a time :)

    my issue is that i spend too much time alone. haven't had a genuine conversation with anyone for the past year. completely outcasted at college, and never had a genuine friend in secondary school and petrified of women. I have no social confidence to the point i'm petrified to get a job. Always feeling like the odd one out, never being able to relate nor connect with anyone. Whenever i show my true self, i get knocked down for it and told i'm wrong for being that way. Someone in class once said they'd rather k1ll themselves than speak to me-this is someone i've never spoken too, they barely even know my name. I'm so jealous that people actually have to FORCE themselves to be alone, rather than having NO OPTION other than to be alone

    Personal struggles made me "isolate" at first, but looking back - it was the greatest thing. Otherwise, I honestly don't think I could've experienced such inner growth, learned to reprogram my mind, and adopt a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. Feeling full when you're alone is priceless. But it did raise my standards for other people immeasurably, which makes it difficult to enjoy most company. Good thing that at the end of the day, I always have myself though :) loved the message and cinematography you've shared!

    But yesterday she again went outside with her friend , and they are also my friends and i got hurt , i cried over night i don't know why sometimes its really hurt but it's okay i am not gonna expect anymore i will never , and i will not go with them ; i will enjoy my company , i will go alone outside its not loneliness its solitude and i love to be myself .

Fast forward to now Jamaica has been a turning point in my life, I was at a very low point in my life and wanted to really give up but my community kept me motivated!

    Anyone else enjoy the feeling of actually being alone? Like literally no friends because you can't trust people due to horrible past experiences?
    I enjoy it a lot. I feel at peace and I tend to do things better when I'm alone.
    But I can't deny that I sometimes wish I had people to share my small achievements and happiness with. Graduating college and having no one to celebrate with feels devastating.
    But I'd choose being alone every time than feeling lonely when I'm with a group of people.
