she's so cute! it's like she's speaking in front of a group of friends, I love the little laughing pauses. sis was feeling herself, I can tell she lives by her own words.
Exactly! Wisdom = experience + intelligence. She is delightfully authentic, not trying to continually project the common "I'm sooo cool and badass" mantra.
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'm finally experiencing this too! How exciting isn't it? To find that who you really are was better than you could have ever imagined? I am happy for you.
Much love sent your way, from one strong woman to another....you got this!! Enjoy your self discovery journey, heal your beautiful and unique self...this is Your time!!! ;)
I thrive and become a better person when I’m alone. People are a headache to be around. At least when I’m alone, I’m at peace, I appreciate myself more and don’t feel the need to be something or someone that I’m not. Thank you so much for reiterating everything I’ve ever thought x
Nice to know I'm not alone in this, Sally. I'm far happier alone or with my close family. I have no need for other people in my life but it always seems more of an issue for them than me.
Wow this is so me. But now the problem comes when I'm around people. And honestly this is the version of me I hate the most because I always tend to put myself in backseat and I'm always anxious and feel that there's something wrong with my entire existance. When I'm alone I am usually most at peace.
I ADORE Chidera aka Slumflower❤She was 20 or 22 probably during this TED talk!!Imagine having this wisdom at 20,my God how different live could have been especially for women.Never too late though!
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.
When she said that joy is not wanting to change anything in your life, even the cringe-y things you've done!!! I relate because sometimes I look back on the less desirable things I've said or done and it keeps me from loving myself fully. Man i needed this! I want to be this girl's friend!
So Guys she was only 23 years old when she did this TED Talk 🔥🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭😭🙌🙌❤❤❤❤👌👌👌👌 So much wisdom shared and she is so beautiful 😍😍😍😍 God bless her. Her parents must be so proud.
I'm a 50 year old and I am currently in the process of understanding my version of loneliness, and you are a wonderfully wise young woman. Oh and by the way I'm jealous of your hair.
Me, JC from Holland am alone, travel alone, I am a nomad roaming around on a Kawasaki Dominar through the Philippines. I left the Netherlands, all my friends and family behind, sold all I owned at the age of 54. I do not fear loneliness, I thrive on it.
there's something authentic about her , May GOd give her the strength to grow and have enough wisdom to change people after a couple of years she will be fire
Wow she is amazing, i wish i could have had even a smidge of this girls insight at 23, im only starting to get there at 44, where being alone n being myself doesn't frighten me anymore. She is a true leader!
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.
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.
Me too hun, i know it hurts 💔 I’m sorry you’re going through this, stay strong. I’ve been feeling better everyday by catering to myself like I should’ve been the entire time. Take time for you 👸
Apexfitness I think you need to take is as : both of you werent ready , i dont want to give u false hope but when you are ready and if you are meant to be it might come back!
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.
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.
Great message to hear today. Recommended to me on the same day my bf broke up with me. I actually love my own company to be perfectly honest. I’m my happiest in the comfort of just being me not when trying to make someone else happy.
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
This is what I needed. Junior year, perfectionism on point, I am so glad I got to listen to her speak. I feel more acceptant of myself and more open to change now, the peace I'm feeling is fantastic
Nothing but love and gratitude! Trying not to regret 18 years of not believing I am enough. Can’t wait to read how to get over a boy and what a time to be alone!!!
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’m the same way as you. I have been this way my whole life. I like my company and solitude so much that if I don’t actively do something about it I know I’ll leave a very isolated life.
I've already watched this video four times. I'm currently going through a rejection that stings so bad but when my thoughts get really low, I put on this video and it helps me feel better and excited for the future where I get to spend time with myself and get to know myself and perhaps love myself and become the person I would want to love.
I like to believe I am very self-absorbed person; in a healthy, non-selfish, non-egotistic way (actually in an introverted way). For this reason I’d like to show this video to all my friends just to support the fact that I don’t want anything from them other than a piece of me that lives in them, a part of ourselves that we all share🙌🏼
I LOVE THIS TALK. So powerful for women to release the idea of 'needing' someone in order to be valued. A relationship does not give you value, you give yourself value!
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.
The speaker is so truthful and genuine, and the talk is packed up with wisdom and warmth. I need to watch it everyday to remind myself that every one could be a unique success in their one and only life.
Alone for 3 years and feel happier, more like myself & making a life I love than I ever have before. And I don’t fear dying alone…I know when my time comes, my mumma will visit me & guide me through.
This popped up on my feed at the perfect time today. Thank you Slumflower for being an inspiration. I truly am learning to BE and authentically LOVE ME❤️
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...
Off topic but she is SO BEAUTIFUL like damn ❤ and its not just the way she looks, but how she carries herself and owns herself. You can tell that she's really confident in her self
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!
She seems like such a genuine loving well meaning human being who just wants the best for everyone and for people to fully embrace themselves..such a sweet sweet soul....I hope she manages to keep it xx
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.
"I am enough because I said so, and that is not up for debate."
I love that quote 👏👏👏
yess!!!!!! all the way yes
Yes girl 🙌
that was *everything*
FACT!
"we use our relationships with other people as a distraction" PREACHHHHH
And Validate our self
And Validation
So true 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Definitely we do
Yup, we were mean't to thrive on our own.
she's so cute! it's like she's speaking in front of a group of friends, I love the little laughing pauses. sis was feeling herself, I can tell she lives by her own words.
Queen Zey very true. 😊
Exactly! Wisdom = experience + intelligence.
She is delightfully authentic, not trying to continually project the common "I'm sooo cool and badass" mantra.
Rr é
I honestly appreciate this woman's existence so much
Me too
Same
Same
So do I.
Wow! Awesome speech. “Even when it hurts, choose yourself”.
I love that!!!! 💙💙💙
Couldn't have seen this video at a better time tbh
I want a tattoo of this phrase
“The problem with people who don’t know what they want, is that you will never be enough for them.”
Wow! This girl has some wisdom!
Ya I like that phrase too. It makes such good sense.
"I know am a mess buh I want to be the best possible mess I can be"... love you gal!!!!!
Yup 🙏 I feel you 💯
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.
great may God help be with u wish u a happy life
Wonderful. I am so happy for you. It takes a lot! Keep doing what you are doing!!! Much love.
I'm finally experiencing this too! How exciting isn't it? To find that who you really are was better than you could have ever imagined? I am happy for you.
Much love sent your way, from one strong woman to another....you got this!! Enjoy your self discovery journey, heal your beautiful and unique self...this is Your time!!! ;)
This is beautiful. Hoping to get to that place soon, I know I’m on the right track 💛
"I'd rather be alone for the right reasons, than be with someone for the wrong reasons." Some Kind of Wonderful
“I cant remember a time when i learned anything from being right, from being pretty, from being nice”. So. Good.
To get this at 23 is pivotal!!! She will do great work.
I thrive and become a better person when I’m alone. People are a headache to be around. At least when I’m alone, I’m at peace, I appreciate myself more and don’t feel the need to be something or someone that I’m not. Thank you so much for reiterating everything I’ve ever thought x

sally al-roubaie same I prefer my own company rather than the company of others
The introvert chronicles!!!
"Even when it hurts, choose yourself" this is SO important
I ADORE Chidera aka Slumflower❤She was 20 or 22 probably during this TED talk!!Imagine having this wisdom at 20,my God how different live could have been especially for women.Never too late though!
Tbh this video couldn’t have come at a better time and I haven’t even watched the full video
same here
There are no coincidences.

Amen!
"Regardless of how I show up, I'm enough because I said so"
THIS TALK IS SO FREAKING UNDERRATED. THE WISDOM IN THIS IS INSANE!!
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.
Beautiful! Blessings to you!
I also want to do the same for me !!
And I am seeking help , it's so hard
choose yourself , over and over again, day by day, simply choose yourself.
Absolutely...
Rachel Margolin what does it mean to choose yourself ?
“I am enough because I said so and that’s not up for debate!” That’s great!
When she said that joy is not wanting to change anything in your life, even the cringe-y things you've done!!! I relate because sometimes I look back on the less desirable things I've said or done and it keeps me from loving myself fully. Man i needed this! I want to be this girl's friend!
"I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not"
Stop chasing the dragon people 😉
True

So Guys she was only 23 years old when she did this TED Talk 🔥🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭😭🙌🙌❤❤❤❤👌👌👌👌 So much wisdom shared and she is so beautiful 😍😍😍😍 God bless her. Her parents must be so proud.
I'm 60. And recently, fiveish years ago, I have begun to F.L.Y. First Love Yourself.

Leaving Holland Channel, nomadic life after 50 wow, that's a bold move. I'm also in the Philippines as well. 😊
wow
I hope that my country has been treating you well.
You are amazing
That's what i call having guts! Keep it up sister
there's something authentic about her , May GOd give her the strength to grow and have enough wisdom to change people
after a couple of years she will be fire
she is fire. period.
she has already grown if you look at her right now. Her wisdom changed me. Just because somebody looks young doesn't mean they can not be wise.
Wow she is amazing, i wish i could have had even a smidge of this girls insight at 23, im only starting to get there at 44, where being alone n being myself doesn't frighten me anymore. She is a true leader!

"my company is amazing"!!! I feel you so bad. You're such a good speaker
how does this not have millions of views????????
Im just always amazed with how well ppl doing TED talks speak lol. No filler words ever
yes yes yes this is the example I want for my daughter find happiness alone and you can easily find it with someone else when the time is good.
I feel like this video crossed my path for a reason ! One of the best ted talks that I have watched.
"The problem with people who don't know what they want is that you will never be enough for them", what a quote.
My all time favorite Ted Talk!❤️❤️❤️
after watching this talk, i immediately bought her book in Kindle.
IN MY BED SCREAMING....SIS, YOU'D BETTER PREACH. OMGGGGGG SO FREAKING ON POINT... THIS WAS RIGHT ON TIME..🙋♂️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Chidera, this Obinna Nnani’s mum. Am impressed with your talk. It’s wonderful. GOD bless you
I just got out of a relationship and i really feel alone ... And i fall on this video... It helps
Chrisiandra V. Me too girl! I feel you. I felt like this video was heaven sent🙏🏽 hope you heal soon. Better things ahead 😊
Me too hun, i know it hurts 💔 I’m sorry you’re going through this, stay strong. I’ve been feeling better everyday by catering to myself like I should’ve been the entire time. Take time for you 👸
I’m going through the same thing right now, it’ll get better💖💖💖
Chrisiandra V. I feel you, I feel so alone and like there’s no future. I never thought I would ever find my self feeling like this?
Apexfitness I think you need to take is as : both of you werent ready , i dont want to give u false hope but when you are ready and if you are meant to be it might come back!
This video (What a Time to Be Alone!) is absolutely what everyone (especially young people) need to hear, and as EARLY as possible in life!!!
"Gathering as much experiences as I can." What a fantastic way to put it, yes a wise woman here indeed.
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.

I loved this TEDtalk. This brought me to tears and had to be one of the most important and best I've ever learned from . Thank you.
This young lady should be touring the schools of America giving this speech. Young people (and adults) could benefit from what she has to say 🌱💜
Great message to hear today. Recommended to me on the same day my bf broke up with me. I actually love my own company to be perfectly honest. I’m my happiest in the comfort of just being me not when trying to make someone else happy.

Wow 23 and wisdom beyond her years! So much rings true!
You are absolutely amazing.
Off topic but she is SO BEAUTIFUL like damn ❤ and its not just the way she looks, but how she carries herself and owns herself. You can tell that she's really confident in her self
She taught me more in 16 mins than in my 52yrs of Life on this journey. Thank you. I needed the wake up call!
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.

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!
She seems like such a genuine loving well meaning human being who just wants the best for everyone and for people to fully embrace themselves..such a sweet sweet soul....I hope she manages to keep it xx
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.
To all you beautiful ladies put yourself first, treat yourself better than anyone else can and never ever settle 💓
Absolutely true :)
Girl, you’re so wise.
What a freakishly wise young lady! Btw I do love her outfit!
Now that was inspiring! She has a way of grasping your attention.
The rejection part around the 10:20 hit the nail on the head. Excellent talk, so thankful I found it today. Will refer back to it for sure.
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.
Wow. She’s amazing. In tears.
