      I learned that Friendships and Relationships are weapons that allows shit people to do critical damage to my core therefore I don't have any Needs or Wants that anyone else can satisfy.
      Isolated living in Solitude and Celibate for 33 out of 44 years old this equals out to 77% of my life experience. I will not allow anyone else in my life again until my final moment alive. I will patiently wait for my chance to go back to my 5th gate into Hell major. Magus Gatekeeper....

      I feel like if a man were to express similar sentiments about not being able to maintain friendships with other men, the reactions would be very negative. And People would be encouraging him not to give up on male friendships, and brotherhood. All this video is doing is promoting an anti-sisterhood propaganda. Most popular movies and shows promote this “loner girl " archetype and the "not other girls" propaganda. Where they teach girls to hate themselves and other women. They don’t teach a healthy examples of female friendship. So most women and girls don’t know how to have a Healthy relationship with another woman. Most women and girls are often encouraged to put more effort into their relationships with men above those with other women.

    In my 40s, I've embraced the absence of friendships, finding solace in solitude. Reflecting on my past, I've encountered cruelty and emotional drains from others, many of whom seem lost. The competitive, envious nature of people often dims one's light. After enduring much, including an unhealthy marriage, I've chosen to remain alone, uninterested in dating. Being by myself brings me genuine enjoyment.

    I am definitely not a "group" person. I prefer one to one interactions with people as you get to listen and share thoughts with another person. I find big groups of friends too much some times and I am sure some can relate to it. I've always remember myself hanging out with one person at a time 😅. I think it's definitely an introvert thing and also protecting your energy from lots of people. ❤

    On some real shit, I got bullied and harassed and tormented by a group of friends in high school after I made a move based on my morals and values they didnt agree with. I had bad depression and started smoking to cope with how alone I felt. Eventually I started healing about a year later and more trauma had happened simply because I couldn't love and choose myself. I had a spiritual awakening around march of last year and I started healing myself, I found peace in being alone. Literally every time I had a friend, they betrayed me or disrespected the friendship, or just were toxic energy. Recently I was feeling really bad about not having any friends and choosing to cut everyone off so I could focus on myself and my journey and I feel so validated. I have so much intuition and discernment now, and I'll be damned if I have the wrong people in my close circle. I decided to choose myself and my peace over having friends and it's the best decision I've ever made. thank you for this because it made me realize that I am indeed protecting myself and my peace. I love you thank you, also I did quit smoking. I have leveled up so much by just accepting myself and loving myself instead of having other people do it for me

  • @Travis_Yangzte
    @Travis_Yangzte 3 місяці тому +6

    This is a genuine experience for someone like me, who is introverted and can feel the energy around them when going outside. I often sense negative energy from others’ minds and thoughts, which can be overwhelming. This is why I seek ways to avoid toxic people I don’t belong with. Even a small incident can completely drain my energy. I often question society, as we live in a dangerous world where one bad decision or being in the wrong place at the wrong time can have serious consequences. So, be wise and don’t let anyone steal your soul, because many are waiting to do just that.
    And you’re right when you said, “It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.” Goals can be a valuable thing when you are becoming the best version of yourself, when you know you have a gift and want to do something about it. You don’t need friends to figure that out; you just have to share it. Find real connections with someone who has the same goal as you and build that mindset. This way, you avoid getting yourself into trouble.

    Its a blessing to be a strong enough woman or man to not have friends, because real friends are rare, ecspecially jealous ones who don't mean well. Strong godly people don't have friends because we don't need friends. I never tried to fit in or keep up with popularity. People don't be of God and most don't follow a resilient path. People envy wisdom. Energy draws like energy, so when you change, the slackers in life fall off. Weak people need friends and people validation

    People with no friends are God's chosen once. There's a reason why some of them are meek because God chose them for some important role. Satan has already bullied humans because of his wisdom for millions of years. Almost everything in this world is corrupted that people think it is Godly or even not dehumanizing. God can not choose a person who is easily controlled by sins of the enemy that people thought it's a real strength.

    I will say I’ve always been very non-trusting of other people, which is why I’ve always had very very few friends. I’m around your age and so I totally understand what you’re saying. I relocated to a new city a few years ago, and I immediately tried to be a social as possible to meet people, but I kept finding that I was connecting with people that I knew deep down were not for me, but they seemed to be the “in crowd” of the city that I live in so I thought that I was winning. None of those relationships worked out because they do not represent who I am authentically speaking. It is better to have peace than to have all this fake BS lingering around your energy, however it can get lonely. I think we can all agree on that.

    Other women are impossible to be around, they're either jealous because one is better looking than them and want to destroy for you (I'm talking flirting and even jumping my boyfriends, kissing them right in front of me) or they're super cold and feel no empathy. So I ended all my female friendships and men? They want to sleep with you or are there for selfish reasons so I stopped being around people at all. Older people can work but where do you find them? And they mostly want to be around other elderlies.

My past relationship with my child’s father opened my eyes tremendously to everything within myself. I truly don’t think a lot of people even know how to be a friend. I’ve always been reserved and able to sit with myself, for some reason that makes all kinds of people gravitate toward me. It’s Usually the people who like to be the center of attention. I love people and I love connection but I am an individual and if it’s not in alignment with my spirit and the path that I am taking then that thing or person is not for me. Respectfully.

    i have no friends! you've made me feel not so bad anymore about it so i thank you! i aligned personally with everything you said. I have distanced myself from my friends relatively recently because I felt like it began to be toxic and it drained my energy to be interacting with them. I also realized we now had grown to have different interests. As soon as I was without those friends, I almost immediately began to be happier without them. I have grown up as an only child so I am grateful that I know how to entertain myself and rely on myself for my own happiness. I kept shaming myself to need to find friends because its not normal to be without any, but watching this and watching you talk wisely about your experiences and feelings, it made me realize that it is normal anyways to not have any friends or need any at the moment. I am just at the start of my healing journey at 23 years old and listening to you say these things so confidently and assuredly made me feel good about my choices in life. I also love reading the comments talking similarly. Alone together :)

    The reason this video resonates with me so much is because it perfectly captures my mindset. When people ask if I have friends, I tell them I have acquaintances. Just because we hang out occasionally doesn’t mean we’ve connected on a deeper level. I consider someone a friend only after we’ve made a meaningful connection and shared our energy. While having a social life is important, if the interactions don’t connect with you or benefit your life, then they’re just acquaintances, not true friends.

    I’m 36 and only have like two friends left. I’ve cut everyone else off because they always became jealous/envious. I had a friendship of 30 yrs and she was trying to sleep with the guy I was in love with. Crazy thing is that I found out she left with 3 other friends bfs. She lied to me for 8yrs about her sleeping with a guy I had dated in the past. Then I had a friend of 15 years, her bf was hitting on me behind her back and he asked me out on a date once. I told her and after that she stayed with him but became very jealous and envious of me. Began trying to look like me and competing with me in EVERYTHING. She was in “secret” competition with me which wasn’t so secret. I told her what hobby I picked up and she picked up that same hobby. I told her my bday plans and she stole that. I remodeled my room and she remodeled hers and even said “I saw you remodeled yours so I had to do it too”. It became scary. Every color I dyed my hair she copied. I know how much she HATES pink (my favorite color) so I told her I’d be dying my hair pink next. Well guess what color she suddenly wanted to dye hers???
    Every friend I had who became jealous or envious of me was ALWAYS over men. Men I didn’t even want. We’d go out and I’d be the one to get approached by men and they all hated that. 15-30yr friendship ended over their jealousy over men. Smh

    41 partner & 2 kids no friends or family. I simply am not one bit bothered by being a lone wolf. I go to gigs & nights out occasionally occasionally by myself, all while feeling empowered. Authenticity will repel the many & draw the few. In the last year, I had to let go of 2 so-called friends when, in reality, I was simply a numbing cream for their projected, unresolved truma. At the start of this year, I made myself a promise that I have stuck to since. No more being available for others' issues, no reciprocal effort means none from myself. There are too many toxic unhealed individuals among us, more than those of us who have decided to prioritise our own internal boundaries & discipline. I agree there are times when the isolation does feel a bit deep. However, the price you pay by repeling the many is justified by the internal growth one is making. I am so guarded now that I trust no one. Once a pattern of pathology is noticed, I cut ties immediately, no mercy.

      I believe there's too much division in society, and a narrative often pits men and women against each other. However, we are all human and share the same emotions. Both men and women can feel isolated, without friends. No one is inherently greater than another; we all experience emotions and live in the same society. While our struggles may differ, at our core, we're all trying to navigate life as human beings, sharing a common human experience. ❤️

    Hi Nana, 100% agree with what you've said in your video here so I've liked and subbed. At 37 I'm similar to you in regards to my social life although in my case my 'friend' (using that word in the loosest possible way, in fact all of them except for perhaps one were virtually 'associates') circle they were toxic people who were using drugs and I had to get rid of every one of them because I came to a cross-roads in my life and the path I was going down wasn't the same as they were. Not that I want to judge anyone for their choices here but like you, I had to look around and think to myself:
    'Are these people helping or hindering me?'
    The fact that the latter was the answer couldn't have been more glaringly obvious so I had to separate myself from them (it wouldn't be the first time I've had to do this either - I had to separate myself from a 15+ year friendship with my best friend due to similar reasons - which I must say *was* extremely difficult emotionally speaking and still is - but such is life and it will pay off dividends when I'm in a psychologically clearer, brighter and all around happier place). They wont miss me anyway and I'm happier knowing that I've made a pro-active choice to better my future than 'hanging around' doing everything I definitely DONT want to be doing, ultimately wasting precious time that I should be spending on improving my mental health.
    Additionally, I've just come back from an appointment I made with my GP as regards getting a referral to a psychologist in order to go down the talk-therapy route as my anxiety got so intense recently that I went through a few bouts of agoraphobia and consequent depression. He wrote me prescription for Valium that I'm just going to keep in a book on my desk here in the event that I encounter another serious bout of anxiety before I get an appointment with a psychologist which as he said could take up to 6 months at the very least...which, while not ideal, is better than nothing and still being here 6-12 months time feeling even worse. At least the ball is in motion now.
    Anyway I really enjoyed listening to and relating to your thoughts and I like I said, I've liked and subbed so I'm going to have a browse around your channel and check out a few more. I see that you posted this back in March which while not too long ago - I still hope that your journey is going well. You seem to have a very level head about you and appear to know what you want and I wish you all the best for the future. Take care.

    The Great part about your situation is that you self-analyzing and evaluating your friendships verses what it is you value, and that is primary. Truth to yourself is what sets the direction of your path in life. I have viewed many videos of this nature, and this one is very positive. As you well know you are growing (like myself) and you are in a great "place". When you go out in the social world again you will know what you are looking for. You will not just be "accepting things just to be with a crowd, and you are sure of yourself, others will NOT be able to pull your energy. I have been in situations where I hung out with people who actually had nothing to do, we me. I realized I had to change that. Certain people are in your life for a season. Sef-Love and Self-evaluation are always key.

    That is so very true friendships come and go when your not fully healed. I am a almost 52 year old lady and that is what has happened to me over the years ‘because i am not healed’ i have so so much trauma from childhood from various people that i let go on until I was 43! All from narcissistic people.
    Because I’m learning how to heal and not fretting about the lack of friends in my life I’ve noticed a shift in me ,instead of worrying and fretting i suddenly feel calm ,and i can honestly say that I have never felt this ever in my life. The trauma was way back from when i can remember up until the age of 43 meant to say ,emotional, physical,gaslighting not sure how many types there are but I’ve had it!
    Now i wait to go to see a neurologist and neuropsychologist a 2 week stay at a neurology clinic because of the effect it’s had on me I’ve developed FND Functional Neurological Disorder diagnosed and confirmed by a top neurologist .There is only so much a persons brain can take! I feel very angry towards these perpetrators who have robbed me of a normal life . Sorry for the bad spelling etc

    When i started praying 3 hours to Jesus and reading the Bible. It became clear that friends can take you to hell if you do wake to separate yourself from people.
    So I am great with no friends. I help people out but I am not hangout with you. I need to read my Bible and pray.

    That is so funny I am also into fashion and clearing my chakras every day! I have felt real fear now about getting to find the right partner to be able to have a child with. I am 36 and I miss the rich way I felt in myself before I was so harmed by other people. I want to feel that grounded way again . I wish I could remove the pressures of age, and I am trying to pick up what I like again. I wanted to perform, make music videos and dance. I feel stressed fighting for my body, definitely my energy. I do feel alone, but I felt like I didn’t belong with people around me. I have been made to feel like I am not normal or weird. It adds such pressure. I love dressing up, I want to make money doing what I love, I have been working to unprogram my parents’ beliefs, even though I live with them. I want to be sharing life with them but it has been damaging to not get to experience my life in true freedom. I am trying to get back on my feet after being harmed by others far too much.

    Sorry to comment multiple times but I give you an example of what some “friends” did that made me understand I was spending time with the wrong people. Once I was out with this group of friends and at that time I happened to just split up with a guy who was in this same group of friends. He was close to my best friend and basically that night as we were all in circle having a drink and a chat, my “best friend” gave me a slap on the face in front of everyone just because my ex whispered to her to accept the challenge. She actually did it and I can’t describe the way this made me feel. To this day, that group of people that are luckily not my friends anymore, are still spending their time getting drunk at the weekend in the same city they were born in. No experiences no changes, still the same people I distanced myself from. And we are 33/35 age range.
    Recently I went back to my hometown to see my family and I saw this lady who was my best friend at the time, we had a catch up and I was telling about my crush, I was excited and giggling as I spoke about the topic… once I was done she just looked at me in silence and sort of laughed at me.
    I understand we were very young when the slap happened (not justifying her) and I understand we can make mistakes.. but when at 30+ people give me that energy and they purposely want to make me feel stupid or less.. that’s when it’s game over for me.
    I don’t miss her, I’m actually happy I’m living a life I’ve built and it’s so so great. I’m happy I’m not surrounded by people who treat their friend like that. I’m happy I don’t spend my free time drinking in bars, I’m happy about myself and with who I am today.

    I have 1 friend at the moment because I had to release friends that I had changed myself for and would not accept the real me. But I will say we need to ensure we continue to be in relationship with others. Friendship or otherwise because this is actually how we heal and evolve. It is because of my previous friends that I realised who I was or wanted to be. And it is with others u will learn whether the new you is really the new u. If u begin to change again u r still not heal. There is no such thing as the right connection all connection is valuable. We need to let go of that myth.
