Being an ambivert, I learned the hard way it's better to be alone than feel lonely when being surrounded by other people.

If you love that feeling of Independence mixed with the feeling of soul-crushing loneliness, raise your hand.

I have constantly been told how being alone is damaging for you and it's unhealthy how much I desire being alone but in all honesty I thrive when I am alone.

Remember, being alone doesn't mean you're lonely!

As an introvert i will say it's hard sometimes to be alone all the times. But solitude is great way to discover your wants and needs and less dependent on others. Being happy when you are with yourself increases your self esteem. Loneliness is a different thing if you feel alone while being with yourself then expand your social network and learn more about others. ❤️

I rarely comment but I feel like I need to let this thought out.

As an introvert in a family of extroverts I was forced to go out a lot. They even ask why I don't have friends at some point in my life and I didn't see a problem in that. It was until in high school that my life become difficult. Surrounded by strangers (new classmates) "group" projects\work, gatherings etc. I was basically throw in a pit called 'life' and me, who knows nothing about social skills or communicating to others(except w\ my family who understands me well) I for once felt lonely as a loner. It got me confused conflicted even, and I had a mental breakdown. if it wasn't for my parents I probably been rotting somewhere. That's when I learned an important lesson. You shouldn't isolate yourself . I used to love the thought of being alone and I also came to hate it but then I came back to loving it but it's different. I now have find true friends who understand my silence a family who didn't give up and did what's best for me and most of all, I came to love myself and gave up the thought of being out going like the others or to be someone else.

What I'm trying to say is even though we like to be alone let's not forget to connect with each other. Because being with the people that genuinely cares for you and understands you (I'm talking about having friends) is important in our lives. At least for me.

This is just my point of view based on what I've experience and I meant no harm in posting this comment.

I was thankful that my parents pushed me out of my comfort zone.

I love living alone. I love being alone. When I am alone, I am in great company.

I hated how I could not fit in with other people at first, but I realised that it's probably for the best I don't have any, or have very little friends than fitting in with fake friends

I absolutely LOVE this new way of presenting an episode. It speaks louder and clearer than the normal tone.
Don´t get me wrong, your episodes are well worth listening to but Amanda has an incredible voice and it just lends itself much better to this kind of narration than how the episodes are normally presented.
Keep going strong, team!

I've been going through the tough ending of a long-term and really meaningful relationship and realised that that person truly became an extension of my being. Removing them from my life was like surgery without anesthesia. I've always been comfortably alone, even when in the relationship I would attend to my hobbies and have mini solo trips. But the realisation of doing these things without coming back to them at the end of the day has been a shock to my system. The whole thing threw me into questioning my own self... When did I become so attached? How an independent person like me has such a hard time letting go? When did I lose my "aloneness is my power" attitude that my 25 year old single self was proclaiming...? I'm going through the tunnel searching for the answers and I truly hope at the end of it I will find peace, joy and myself again.

This video made me smile multiple times. This was just what I needed.

You know why I love to be alone?

Being alone is where nobody is judging me or disturbing me

But we're all not being alone all day, right?

The animations are getting more expressive and cuter at the same time. I watch this with a grin on my face. Thanks Psych2Go for yet another soothing, charming, informative video

Being alone is what I’ve always preferred. Even during my teens and twenties when I had the youthful instinct to seek the company of others to party, I couldn’t deny that being alone in my room came first. Now in my 40’s, being alone is where I am 99% of the time. Relationships have always ended because of this. The excessive time I spend alone together with canceled dates have led to accusations of cheating…perhaps I’m cheating by being alone!?🤷🏻‍♂️ Whenever I do find myself in the company of others I’m carefully and quietly planning an exit.

[LonewolfAZ]

I love being alone. Been alone 2years. But finding a significant other is definitely something most folks crave. Being alone has its benefits indeed. 👍🏻🙂Thanks @Psych2Go

[jwanie]

As someone who doesn’t spend much time with others outside of work, this video was nice for me to watch. Obviously there are also perks of not being alone, but you gotta find the right balance

[chisaten]

Partly because of my autism and getting overwhelmed by things, I definitely like to have alone time. That is hard when you are disabled enough that you have to live with your parents, though. 😔

This speaks to me.

Throughout my childhood to half of my adult life I had two toxic people, my dad and this woman whom was once a friend of my parents who lived with us. My Mom was the one person who always had faith in me and didn't treated me like I was mentally ill because I'm mildly autistic. My dad and this woman however even after my mother passed away treated me the opposite. They always kept telling me that I can't make it on my own, I can't do this or that. Or I'm autistic I wouldn't understand. It drove me crazy and I kept feeling like maybe it was true. However it finally came the time when my dad passed away and followed by this woman few years after that they were both wrong. I have been on my own for about 4 years now and I am finally happy. I got my independence, I am free to just be me and live how I want to live. Now don't get me wrong I got good friends at work, I got lots of good family members that always check on me and we do fin things together. But I love the fact that my dad and this woman were both terribly wrong about me this whole time. I am living happily with just me and my lovable dogs. I just wished my Dad was still alive so he could see how well I am doing on my own. If he was maybe I could finally feel like he was proud of me.

Have you ever made a video for people liked me to dealing with the unsatisfying feelings that they felt like a disappointment to their loved ones that passed on and wishes to lose that feeling? If so please share the link to it.
