    Now alone after out of an emotionally abusive marriage of 25 years, I am rediscovering my uniqueness, my self worth, my absolute priceless value, my being happy in my own skin, doing what I like, going where I want to, enjoying what I feel and desire. Surrounding myself with happy things, so that it is impossible to feel lonely on my own.

    I wish this was something we talked about more. I was so mortified of being alone, I spent most of the time I’ve been alive trying to find people, hoping and even begging God that they’d like me then a while ago I decided that I wanted to be alone (I already was but I was deciding finally to embrace it) and it was so so so hard in the beginning, I was still fighting it a bit I suppose but the longer I stay on this path the more I realize that I’m the best friend I’ve been looking for all this time, I just needed to give myself a chance.

  • @martincooper4025
    @martincooper4025 5 років тому +135

    She's extremely smart, one thing I didn't agree with is the rejection lesson she got from it. She assumed someone she cared about rejected her because they barely love themselves. That's just one thing I will not agree with, some people just are genuinely not interested into forming for an example, a relationship with you. That's perfectly okay as well, learning acceptance is part of life as well. No matter how bitter it may be, we must not assume so much because I believe it'll fog our genuine thoughts. But she really is a powerful woman who has reflected a lot and thought things through, much of which neither man or woman really do in this modern day.

    • @CleoraAleise
      @CleoraAleise 2 роки тому +10

      I believe she’s speaking of situationships where you’re not chosen but you are participating in relationship activities. Of course being rejected doesn’t always indicate trauma but the latter can when they know the other person wants more.

    That is such a good talk, yes, the most important thing in my life was learning to enjoy my own company.
    I live in a senior citizens apartment complex, you would be surprised to know it doesn't get better as we age. As I observe, there is a lot of group thinking, no authenticity, each day the same old thinking pattern, do what everyone else is doing you won't feel differently, just fit in. Woe if you walk away from group thinking or enjoy your own company, there's a thousand things you can enjoy alone.
    So, young lady, I'm really enjoying your talk tremendously.

  • @jasmineweller2602

    Her speech really spoke to my soul. I'm trying to focus on slowly building up my self-confidence on my own. For far too long I neglected myself and chased after ppl who did not value me as a person and I don't need that negativity in my life. It is me who needs to believe that I am enough and I have to see my own worth.

    @Jesuslovesherr 5 років тому +5

    She helped me realize something!
    I’m not an introvert, but I’m a woman of little words sometimes, and when I’m in the car with someone or hanging with someone, I feel like I must say something to break the silence, but I LOVE silence and it feels like tension because it’s TOO silent. I can talk to people, but it’s only when I feel like it. I don’t like to hold pointless conversations, so I stay silent. If my mind and spirit isn’t stimulated by the conversation we’re having, then I don’t want to talk.
    Edit: but hey, I’m still learning

    Thank you for this! I love love love being alone, to the point where I may need help, I'm too comfortable possibly 🤣...I encourage people to spend time alone for vacations, days off at home, a movie, dining, the time to reflect, she's right it gives you time see who you are not through the eyes of others all the time.
    I know a woman who is nearly 40 and every weekend wants to know what everyone's doing and if no one is interested in going out eith her or they have plans she has a fit, not only does she clearly need to grow up but also to consider how much value and joy there can be in being alone. Like she has NEVER gone out alone.
    Thank you for also bringing up the marriage and not having to feel compelled to be with someone for company or validation. I'm don't ever want to get married because I love being a lone so much, a partner who lives separately from me, who has their own everything and sure of self alone is not something I shun, however, I am not seeking it or feel I need it. If someone comes along I may consider it, maybe...I truly am enough for myself in every way, I'm so late but thank you for this talk!

    I’ve always loved being on my own, able to do as I please. What you have to get used to is not having someone to bolster your morale or bail you out of situations. I moved from a small town to a huge city. There were a lot of things to learn but I did it and by taking small steps each day I learned what I needed to do to enjoy my new home. Make yourself do things that challenge you, you will be so proud as yourself. Just don’t put yourself in harms way as you can have a sense of false confidence, believe me, I over reached a few times. Safety first.

    I share this with every coaching or tarot client or really any person breathing that will listen because everyone needs these words. They literally carried me through probably the hardest period of my life. the gratitude I have can't be even described in a comment. if you think this talk is just cute, you aren't in a place where you're willing to really hear the extraordinary things she's saying on a soul level at this moment, which is TOTALLY fine! but Chidera...and Ted Talks in general... are there for more people in ways no one really knows underneath it all.

    Love this! Needed to hear so much of this right now, and for a 23 year old to speak such wise words... girl you are going to have fun in life! I wish I would've chosen myself so many years ago but it's never too late!

    I'm a fun loving kind sweet spirited person and im tired of being alone. But I choose to be alone rather than force myself to fit in... Being different attracts drama..and i just wanna chill. I have often been rejected by people I can't be bothered with! I always choose myself...thank you very much! She's so young to be so wise...

    Time alone is never time wasted.
    Not giving ourself room to know ourselves.
    Your company is the greatest company you could possibly have.
    I am ENOUGH....
    I have a name, I have a journey. My opion matters.
    Its exciting to be alive.
    I definitely heard this...
    Thank you fellow QUEEN
    You are so confident I absolutely love your energy. I admire it. I hope to be able to be in a position to use my voice with such confidence and help others.
    More power

    It took me 47 years to learn everything you said the hard way, even facing death. I have it a nickname, the ten year rule. I’m not committed to what I was created for, to be a human rights activist. Thank you, awesome presentation!

    People who dont know what they want..."You will never be enough for them." Took me 10 fucken years to figure this out i was always changing to make him happy just for him to cheat, lie, and treat me like less than. It has been a struggle being alone after so long but i am feeling like a person again. Like I can be myself agan.

    Your definition of "joy" is soooo profound to me. Thank you for helping me to lower my expectations of the word "joy" it is NOT a constant state of elation but rather about us accepting every event in our lives and being ok with what I have experienced.
