The Power in Loneliness

You have to be able to like to be alone. It is a very important skill in life because you will inevitably face such moments. In this video, I describe the importance of being okay with loneliness.

Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently, The Daily Laws.

Sometimes I do feel lonely, but I rather be alone than be with toxic people.

"If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company." - Jean-Paul Sartre

[KingCoCo]

I’d rather be alone than be with people who make me feel alone.

[elizabethk]

I'm happiest in my own company. My stress s in life all came from others.

[jcsrst]

I love being alone. For many years I forced myself to be an extrovert. Partly because I didn't know or like myself much and partly because society tells us we should have a lot of friends. Truth be told I am an introvert. Took many years to be ok with myself and eventually love who I am and now being alone is a joy!

[alkahfi]

I'm a simple man. I see Mr. Robert greene, i click.

[wonderlandes]

I enjoy the silence when I am alone. It sparkles the air that I breathe in.

Loneliness = poverty of self, sadness from lack of friends
Solitude = richness of self, happiness with your own company

I've found going on holiday on my own is the most liberating thing I've ever done

[ultralyrics]

Robert always gives me the feeling that everything is going to be okay.

[DaniABminus]

The feeling of loneliness only creeps in when I am being objectified, lied to, or manipulated in some way. Loneliness for me is always in relation to other people, never the absence of them. A sense of community, of belonging, I've only ever gotten from nature. I still remember the love and contentment I felt as a kid tooling around in the woods and fields by our house. Our home was cold and hostile but out there I felt alive and cared for. It was wonderfully soothing. I am thankful to have had the chance to experience nature in such a way.

To be alone produces the finest minds

[FixedPhilly]

I love being alone. The solitude of it.

[MillhouseSpeaks]

We spend the most time with ourselves embrace loneliness!

[krissifadwa]

Someone who is capable of being alone for long periods of time and whenever they are out, socializing, they still can converse with others without being socially awkward. It's like they have not missed a beat.

[anyways]

The beauty of nature and reverence for God fixes my loneliness.

[craeearc]

I often feel annoyed when others speak to me with condescending pity, as I prefer solitude rather than to waste time with those who drain my energy. I recognize that it's their projection, because it is the rare person who can be alone and not lonely. There is a blessing in a season of solitude. I count my true friends as blessings, like the gems they are.
