I would too, come to think of it. She does discuss anxiety a lot in many of her videos though. I have a spreadsheet I maintain of all of her Ask Teal videos which you can browse: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Z5LCTSAvbclcQyF7jdTYMvt4r7DeWxLifb0rIth2Tc/edit?usp=sharing
I love it when you share your personal experiences with us. It makes us feel more connected with your humanity. So many teachers are so distant and focused on perfection, it makes the experience more painful. (But not Teal!)
For 49 years I looked for my souls purpose in this incarnation - today, thanks to your incredibly insightful video, it suddenly revealed itself to me crystal clear. Thank you is not enough to express my deepest gratitude to you and the wonderful work you do, Teal Swan 🙏🏻
It is to experience genuine connection - exactly like she describes - I was facing unimaginable loneliness most of my life, always desperate for a true, deeply intimate connection that never manifested to the point that I divorced my husband of 20 years and got partially separated from my three children as the result of it. Just to get with the same emotionally unavailable guy in my next relationship, except now I didn’t even have my kids to distract me most of the time. Rock bottom. Ready to end it and kill myself , just didn’t pull the trigger cause I didn’t want to cause pain for the rest of my kids lives. So I kept searching and searching - long story short, I saw some of your videos and suddenly the missing connection revealed itself... all my life I encountered this symbolically , just wasn’t present enough to recognize the signs... in Texas I named my animal hospital LONE STAR ANIMAL CLINIC, In Colorado I ran a veterinary home service to care for older pets that I called SOULSJOURNEY VET CARE and not to mention my little ongoing project TLC Buddies - a stuffed toy line that I created to help promote connection, compassion and kindness in our time of need .... that pretty much sums it up . My apology for this long post ... but since you asked 😜 thank you for checking in with me!
"Loneliness" can be solitude with, the good stuff fortified and alive... ;-) Keep up your greatness, Teal Swan! You are such a blessing and a true gift for us all.
I love the way you explain things. It really gets me thinking beyond my limited thought processes. I was raised in Christainity, so now that I'm trying to come out of that limited dogma you've really helped me with these vids. Thank you
So excited to read this book. Teal I am so endlessly thankful to you for all the work that you do. You have completely changed my life and I have helped change other people's lives just by telling them about you and your teachings! You are such a blessing Teal! Love and blessings to you!
Ordered my copy today, really hoping to heal a few aspects of myself... Thank you Teal for being a mirror, (with consent I hope...) that must be lonely in itself.
I love being alone....love being an observer....also find it hard to ask for help when needed....my mom is the same way...but she doesn't like being alone....taken care of people all my life...I now can take care of me....didn't know how to set boundaries though either....LOVE you Teal👍😍😘🌈😇
Tea,l we have so much in common. We both transcended through suffering, I dealt with addiction and loneliness, but you are right, loneliness generates a thought pattern that has a base in our primal needs and instincts, we are basically hot wired to seek others and be connected, but if you want enlightenment, this is something you must face. Some of us are surrounded by people, but feel alone, because they can't identify with anyone. Loneliness and suffering are the greatest teachers one can have and meditation is the best tool to learn how to embrace it and be happy and love life again, without any addiction. Life itself becomes your addiction. I feel so grateful to be healthy and strong and every time I wake up, I just thank the universe for this and for the fact that my body doesn't hurt, I feel serene. Serenity is the purpose of enlightenment, to me enlightenment is seeing life as a gift, it is to not be affected emotionally by thoughts and occurrences. It is to be free of regret and it can only truly become real through loneliness. Loneliness is a wonderful tool. We must all see this life as a game, in order to embrace it and take the good with the bad, seeing the bad as good. Gratitude is very important in this proccess of the pursuit of happiness, it is a mental awakening and spiritual as well. But obviously the true spiritual enlightenment is becoming all knowing, but where's the fun in that? Life is the purpose of the universe, our mundane existence is the best expression of the universe. It is the perfect game. I love you Teal, thank you for everything, you do help me and many others. Thank you so much. Namaste.
Please do an audiobook. I drive two hours a day for work and my way to read now is actually listening. We need your information in the audio form. Hearing this in your voice would make it even better. Love you. Thank you for all you do.
So i havent read the book but i say in all my learning loneliness is where u can find your true self it can be a point where self denial can be perfected and u can see your true self its just people dont want to see that raw form of self and refuse to do it but you can get so many gifts from it
I’ve purchased all of Teals books & several copies of The Completion Process (for others) which has had profound healing effects. So I didn’t hesitate to preorder this book too. I’ll have it on my kindle app in 2 days. I look forward to another fantastic life changing experience via the anatomy of loneliness 💚💜. I’m eternally grateful for all of Teals books. Much love from Connecticut 💚💜
As i understood her this book is not about coping with lonliness (or handiling it) but about replacing patterns that causes it so that you can connect to others.
I'm still looking for the video where I disagree with you or don't learn something. I haven't found it yet. You are a great woman, Teal. I think you can have good friends from the internet. I write emails to my friends and a lot of them talk directly to me in portions of videos on UA-cam. If you are alone now, I am sorry. I am sort of alone, but not ready to take on a relationship. I don't live in a town with pretty people. I wear wedding rings as pest control. Not in the frame of mind, and not going to 'settle' for something I am not attracted to. Better to be alone. I was in a 13 year relationship as a test study. She left me, got beaten to death by her new boyfriend. Nature has a way of weeding people like that out.
I feel like it is part of my life path to feel isolation....most of my family have died or in other countries/not close. My circumstance is not like most of the people I meet. However the only person I have is my mother and we are very close. I only feel lonely if I start comparing myself to others...other than that I’m mostly okay. Anyways can’t wait to read the book as I’ve already preordered =)
Hey Teal I ♥ youuu:) I have a video suggestion in case you're ever bored (just kidding) but I'm curious to hear you think about the sacred secretion? There's been many videos posted about it recently but tbh I can only consider what I think about it from hearing you explain it. I wanna get to the point where I feel like I'm ready to get into reading your books but I'm still trying to use your videos to feel better through integration and understanding of myself. I don't usually feel lonely but today I do.
I got two books, but is not enough, it feels as our DNA need it a brake from the history of humankind this last decade's internet era, it's somehow a comfort to understand as Teal comes with the book, that is time to glimpse into the pages and move on. Appreciate the work and many levels to it, more dimensional.
I like your method of diving in as deep as possible to a problem. I like to approach problems the same way. I call it "swordfish-ing", from the movie. Lol
It's not the whole scale of loneliness, though. I used to feel really lonely but after some spiritual transformation 2,5 years ago this feeling went away. I don't want to have relationships with people as they are now. But I love meeting nice people by a chance, it happens. I just refuse of relationships, i love peace. People steal your peace. I guess I feel used in relationships as i have no needs people can fill, my needs are peace and silence, non-movement. Perhaps I'm dead. Boo!
I dont think you explain well enough that if a part within feels lonely, the whole being may fall into that aspect/personality, and even though in times we dont feel lonely, or we dont perceive ourselves to be lonely, an aspect will always feel lonely because there is separation within our own-selves first and foremost right. I say this because my first question after hearing first part was, why does sense of separation need to be loneliness, if i am separated from one group of people, an aspect within me doesn't feel lonely because it is convinced it has people because it is accepted by ones for pushing away others/certain group, while other aspect within me that is the exact aspect/mirror of the group i am separating myself from, is actually feeling lonely that the other aspect, is pushing away. This is very important, maybe you mention it i am still watching, but not all of us need to feel lonely, because sometimes we are possessed by one personality, other times by other aspects etc... What about that. Am i wrong in this somewhere? would really like to know.
@@DodirAnelaIntuitivnoOtvaranje I did dear. That question came to my mind though, and thought of asking if only an aspect is possible to feel lonely, I don't know if she mentions aspects separately feeling lonely, and in no interview or video on the book does she mention it, so I doubt its mentioned in the book itself.
She didn't explain much, or very fully, in this video. I highly recommend the talk she posted recently. The talk she gave in London was literally one of the best, if not the very best, I've seen from her. (That's including watching around 10 of her 3-hour workshops, and all 300+ of her Ask Teal videos, plus interviews.) So, if you want a deeper exploration, I recommend that talk.
I do not understand why we have this obligation of having to be connected, to be intimate enough to get our needs met, I hate people around me and I’m much better alone than waste my time with them. Connection: the worldwide disease.
Large groups of people scare the crap out of me. All I know is isolation. It is hard to feel anything for anyone. Cops always follow me and I can't even shop without staff eyeing me. To be quite frank, its rather annoying so I hardly get out.
Even if she says the root cause of Social Anxiety is a fear of intimacy, I'd love to see a whole Ask Teal episode on Social Anxiety specifically...
I would too, come to think of it. She does discuss anxiety a lot in many of her videos though. I have a spreadsheet I maintain of all of her Ask Teal videos which you can browse: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Z5LCTSAvbclcQyF7jdTYMvt4r7DeWxLifb0rIth2Tc/edit?usp=sharing

Alone actually means All One 💜
No face facing it, no one real in reality.
I LIKE DAT

any chance you make audiobook versions of your books?
would be great to see your books on audible.
I'm addicted to audible xD
Hey, I'm from Feb 2022 lol. I've seen several of her books on audible!
Ordered my copy today, really hoping to heal a few aspects of myself... Thank you Teal for being a mirror, (with consent I hope...) that must be lonely in itself.

I'm so glad you said this will help with the parent-child relationship! That's why I got it!
You are doing a great job at improving the world we all live in.

I can't wait till it comes in the mail. I've been excitedly waiting. This is something I have been yearning to delve into
Thanks for making this video. It helped me make up my mind about buying the book.
I cant wait to get my copy! Once again, thank you Teal. You are a life savior.
Teal can you please do an audiobook!!!!!

I already preordered! Thank you teal.❤ I've been suffering this epidemic as the main issue of my life
Sure I have realized we need each other, and after losing everyone in my life that I love. Mom, dad, grandparents. Everyone.
Thank you for existing, Teal. 💕
Thankx for sharing ur opinion
Awesome Teal! Going to pick this up as surely it shall be a good, important read.
thank you teal..
This is exactly it. I stood in the shower this morning and said out loud I feel so completely separate.
Thank you for this video Teal!!! I will share to my Facebook!!
Will there be a german version and when?
Love this video and how it was edited. Love you too Teal!
I actually like being alone.💜
Thanks you so much. 💕 Just the first two minutes roll up with it all. ;)
I bought a farm in the middle of nowhere in Panama. How can I connect with others without giving up my farm? That's the question I struggle with.
Can you use the farm to bring people to you? Employ people, or use a space to run workshops or a community group or a retreat?
Dear Teal, please do a video on how to stop domestic violence. Explosive rage.
Loved the seminar yesterday.
Zoe
Maslows Hierarchy 101 and I know loneliness quite well but I handle it pretty well I feel
As i understood her this book is not about coping with lonliness (or handiling it) but about replacing patterns that causes it so that you can connect to others.
Thank you, Teal!
Love you💚
Bravo!
Looking forward to reading... your a gem. Thank you xx
That is how I feel.

“If the purpose of your life was to love in loneliness, then you would not experience true pain caused by it.”
I love it.
Great video! Love you Teal
Pre-ordered it!
Thank u for your awesome work beautiful.
amazing
I love you Teal, youre awesome af.
Thank you 😊💞
I wish it was a hardback as they last longer💜
Exactly my life 😭💔 I've experienced extreme ostracism
Is this book available on Audible?

I’m not in pain with being lonely
I ❤ You Teal. Thank you for this video.
Your book is doing well!
Essoteric Yes💜
is there an audio book version of this?, please make one, i already read too much in my work

When i became loneley, i suddenly saw all other lonely people
I'm gonna ask for your books for Christmas lol. 🎄
love you teal
Loneliness or the dis-ease and pollution of other dualities? That is the question.
Did blake do the editing? I love it :D
There was already a 600 pages book by Joseph Hartog "Anatomy of Loneliless" in the 1980ies.
Your so awesome, ty, Teal Swan.
This really honestly helps. Going to figure my way out of loneliness.
I'd like to know how many pages this book is?
When was the 3 year period you are talking about?
I like your method of diving in as deep as possible to a problem. I like to approach problems the same way. I call it "swordfish-ing", from the movie. Lol
I recently moved back to Texas from Washington to get away from my "family" in hopes to rebuild my relationships and all I can think about is OD- ing.
It's not the whole scale of loneliness, though. I used to feel really lonely but after some spiritual transformation 2,5 years ago this feeling went away. I don't want to have relationships with people as they are now. But I love meeting nice people by a chance, it happens. I just refuse of relationships, i love peace. People steal your peace.

Love You Teal..🙏💖🌞🌜⭐🌠
I want this book
I've been places where I was the only one for miles yet I find it ironic that the most alone I've ever felt was in a crowded room.
i love u teal.
your work has changed my whole life throughout last 3 years
but being alone and being lonely are 2 different things... I love being alone but I have never felt lonely...
If we get together, I predict world peace.
How to give when we starve?
What do you think of the hermits?
Please bring some English books at the Basel event this weekend 😍🤩
Thaaankkk yoooouuu
YUSS!!! 11:11 🎁

Want do you think of ayahuasca? I know Rythmia is also in Costa Rica and people say it changes their lives.
Extrasensory thinking 4 sure, since thought is a sense

Omg I think I been desperate for this book for 17 years I there’s a pay by mobile option somewhere for it
But don't you have to feel pain to move on
