It may sound nuts but I can understand what any of my three cats are trying to communicate to me much easier than the on/off girlfriend ive had for 22 YEARS.
I agree! I found that if you choose the wrong people they will attempt to drag you down and wear you out. Being alone for me has always been a better choice.
What makes me stay away from most people is their pettiness over minor things and lack of knowledge about anything and small talk. Life is short if you dont learn anything about the world even if you arent a true academic.
After being a loner and avoiding groups of any kind I needed to join AA. I'm sober now but no longer meet with those people. They love to bring people down, they are full of false honesty, and heavy on sex. I was not a skirt chaser, but those people decided to accuse me of being a sex predator even though I had never dated any of the girls there, I had lunch, and two or three times invited a girl to my home to talk but never any sex or inuendoes re: sex.
Spot on mate. Folks are SO touchy and ready to take offence whilst regurgitating tired old tropes about respect, gender, race , colonialism etc etc. It’s just not worth engaging with people who get their knowledge and opinions from short sound bites online rather that going to a library
‘Life is long if you know how to use it’-what a powerful reminder from Seneca." This resonated deeply with me, especially when thinking about how distractions from others can pull us away from our true purpose.
Over the years I've come to realize that maintaining my equanimity is my single biggest driver in life. People either enhance or dilute it, and I have no room for those that dilute it
I have my hands full with my old body. And I’m expected to take care of my own business. I’m even told to “mind your own business”. With the passage of time I have improved. My last days are mine. I eat if I want to. Bathe when I need to. Dress only in a teeshirt and bluejeans. I get to procrastinate now. Anything worth doing can be done later. I can change or cancel appointments. I have options.
I live in a society steeped in consumerism and preoccupied with superficial aspects. Naturally, I'm more at peace with Nature. But I don't go hiking as much as I used to. Loneliness sucks.
People are just a brain, protected by a hard shell, supported by a physical vehicle. We are not the sum of our parts. The brain controls everything based on experience.
My philosophy is simple. More people, more problems. Consider every problem we encounter, aside from natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, tornados etc.., each of those problems are created by a person, or persons, and the ones not created by someone else, we create for ourselves. I spend too much time already dealing with the problems I create for myself, I don't need to waste my limited time dealing with the problems others create. Obviously this doesn't allow someone to avoid all the problems created by others, like political stupidity, corporate greed , warmongering and the like, these seem inescapable for everyone, but it makes no sense to pile more problems on your plate that needn't be there. You can avoid much of the chaos in life by limiting the people you allow into your life.
"Chatter and Gossip"...That's why I don't give a rats ass about "Social Media". All it is is extended "Village Gossip", and back in the day, the Villagers knew who the Village Idiot was...
Let's start off with the fact that they're drenched in toxic fragrance, from their dryer sheets to their shampoo to the gallons of fragrance they seem to think the rest of us can tolerate. I've had enough head splitting migraines from others' obsessions with fragrance. I stay home.

Alcoholics Anonymous can help people. In my case I'm still sober. I was always a loner and was shocked by the low morals of those people, sex was heavy on their minds, and I was not a skirt chaser ever. Trying to form a relationship with any of the girls would be dumb because they always have their eyes on another man. The men are no better. They also loved to gossip, lie about people and accuse people. The program stresses honesty and forgiveness. I personally didn't see too much of either of those, they ruined my reputation with false accusations, accusing me of being a sex predator while ignoring the real predators. I prefer being alone than being with those people anymore. Most of them are shocked when they find out there are principles that normal people have which guides their social lives and etc. I was raised with principles and respect for others. After 2000 I began to drink more than usual, alcohol had me and I wanted it. Join them if you need to get sober but be aware they will drag you down if you let them.
I started in AA, but found that no make believe person helped me quit, it was myself that had to. And yes, lying is huge and when you quit, you quit religion as well since religion continually lies. It’s a good place to hear stories about how others have been, but YOU have to be the one who wants to quit and will be the driving force.
An Ai voice telling me to relax? Quite the opposite happens. The clip is four minutes. You couldn't find the time to have a human voice it, with the correct nuance and pauses? Come on!
Well I am 70 and have never met a person to associate with that has over 6 of the 10 qualities mentioned to engage with. So my fulfillment well never be met. So I can only reason that I do not have very many of the 10 reasons as people that fallow this philosophy would have nothing to do with me. Kind of a catch 22
It’s hard to be around religious bigots, Christians, with their continual lies. Definitely hinders progress being around them. Even the pettiness of people today is annoying along with their pity. To have gratitude, we don’t need anyone else to live a good life.

People operate on assumptions, lack self control, lack patience and consideration for others. They don't possess any attributes that are admirable. Gossip is the lowest form of conversation practiced by the lowest kind of people.
"The more I know people, the more I love my dog". Spot on video. Thank you 💯
My cat and I spend many hours together in thoughtful, peaceful reflection
It may sound nuts but I can understand what any of my three cats are trying to communicate to me much easier than the on/off girlfriend ive had for 22 YEARS.
Great clip. I have felt that way since my early teens and I'm 69 now. Most social situations are not for me. This really hit home. Thanks.
👍💯 I turned ned 69 in November. I pretty much have felt that way from early childhood.
people are " Off the HOOK KARAZY dont ya know ! "
I agree! I found that if you choose the wrong people they will attempt to drag you down and wear you out. Being alone for me has always been a better choice.
This is why I love dogs
Same here 👍
Same here a dog will never desert you if you care for it unlike a human.
And cats and horses!
Defecation 👎
Mine are so cute and sleep in the bed with me. So genuine, loyal and affectionate. We're not deserving of the higher species!
As I've aged , the realization of my independence , and the avoidance of socially needful people is a circumstance where I avoid people .

Thank you for sharing this information I really appreciated it and thank you to the like minded people who shared there thoughts
I cannot fault the well considered rational logic and wisdom expressed by Seneca and the Stoic philosophy, now that I have entered my old age.
Love Seneca's wisdom ....

Energy Vampires is right on target 💯 idle chatter & gossip, reckless & malicious intent no thanks! I am selective to protect my peace.
I have to agree with Seneca!!!
I place no company above my own. Unless they are animals!
@@CarolJorgensen-oj8tz right on!
I prefer my own company after 2 bad and abusive relationships
GREAT STOICISM
Lots of truth to this!
I live in a society steeped in consumerism and preoccupied with superficial aspects. Naturally, I'm more at peace with Nature. But I don't go hiking as much as I used to. Loneliness sucks.
It’s only people who take me away from the present moment. Most don’t own the ability to simply be, or enjoy a silence.
love stoicism 😊
Awesome words!
Love THIS ❤❤
So much me 😇

They complain about their aches,pains, illnesses. If more than one they try to outdo the others with their list of complaints.
That’s why I love cats…..❤❤❤
Because people
That's why
Both are ready willing and able to tell you how right they are both are incapable admitting their wrong.
So true-Emotional vampires will suck the life out of you!

@@AllergicToFantasy Point taken, but I limit myself to these comments, not over on MuskLand or "BS Social"...
To many around you or i cannot be trusted. Always have another motive and only looking out for themselves.
