It is better to be alone than to feel lonely in a relationship, than to be in the company of wrong friends and if it threatens your peace, well being and happiness

[flowergirl]

Even though i'm an introvert, I feel like we are truly social creatures. Solitude is enjoyable when you know it is not 'forever' and that there are friends and family you can spend time with when you want. A sense of belonging is important. Connection.

I am often lonely, so I decided to work on my health. I have lost 55 lbs in 10 months, my blood pressure is down and so is my blood sugar. I am the most proud of doing it alone, with no help ❤ I know that I'm in solitude now ❤

“Pain is certain, Suffering is optional.” Gautama Buddha ! Be happy to be alone 😊

[meerkat]

“We’ve given the key to our own happiness to someone else”. Words worth more than short contemplation.

I loved being alone for the past 10 years until both my pets recently died and my mum had died 2021. Now it's painful to be at home and so will do a meditation and take it from there. Thank you 💚

My sister has tonnes of friends. All friends she met in primary school, senior school, college, work etc are still close friends of her. I never had large cliques of friends. I always had a few close friends. And my friends walked away from my time to time. My mother ridiculed me since I was a kid, that I'm so friendless. Meanwhile, my sister was admired for having so many friends. She said that if trouble comes, there'll be no one to help me. However I have survived to be 39 now. In this country, people always do things in large groups. Solitary people like me are looked upon as failures. We are made to feel as if we were failures. But we are only being ourselves, responding to how others treat us, our way. That's all. Thank you for this video and for the confirmation that being solitary is a good thing too.

I embraced solitude because nobody really cares for me, I already accepted it. Thanks for reminding me of the benefits of being alone!

This is one message I need for my whole life. Being an introvert, I often feel lonely. I use to think its because of me, my attitude, my way of thinking, and also because I can't stand small talks. But the truth is everyone is different and unique in their own way, you can only be you, not someone else. If this is how you're meant to be than that's how you will. Loneliness is beautiful only if you look at it in a way for you to be you yourself. Turning inwards ❤️. Thanks for this 🙏

Took me 45 years to understand the difference between loneliness and solute. It took me 45 years to understand being alone is an opportunity to work on yourself, study, learn, develop skill sets, exercise, and challenge your mind, body, and spirit. Its funny I no longer feel lonely when I am alone. But on rare occasions while at work I feel lonely around people. But I am starting to realize what I am doing wrong now and watching your video now makes so much more sense.

I am have no family . I am so alone. But I am fighting

[chimeyyangzom]

I just love being alone and enjoy the peace that comes with it without distractions. People and friends are welcome at my place but when I'm alone I'm in my wonderful world with my dog and cat, of course. Respect to you🙏🙏🙏

[Ammureddy]

Being around with my family also i still feel like loneliness 😢

This nameless young man is the born presenter. He brings his messages across with that friendly, sincere smile. It's easy to listen to him. Wish you all the best, young monk!

Loneliness is unavoidable in this era even though we have family and kids. They will leave us eventually, we have to learn how to be alone.

[mommyninit]

Great!!! Its better to be alone than to be with wrong company/friends. Some people will crash you down emotionally if they dont get what they want. Im more productive alone emotionally and physically ❤ but im blessed to have good family around me❤️

[Freeuniverse]

Im in my most happiest and peaceful state when Im with my own company. When lockdown started and we had so socially distant, I really thought it was the best thing the Universe has given to us.

You can tell how much this guy is peaceful by his glow 🌟

බොහොම ස්තූතියි අපේ හාමුදුරුවනේ.මටත් තනිකම දැනෙනවා.මමත් තනිකම පරදවන්න උත්සහ කරන ගමන් ඉන්නෙ.මේ දෙන උපදෙස් ඒ සදහා ලොකු උපකාරයක්❤

[marianneeckertjensen]

That is so true! Nowadays I am so grateful for my time alone. Not having to listen to all the little banalities of life ('we are out of eggs, the dog has chewed my shoes', etc.'). It is a rare chance to go for a walk, do a bit of walking meditation and so on. :)
