Top Comments of this video!! :3
This video really resonates with me.
Growing up Autistic, I feel like I've always been suited for this kind of isolation. Since Covid happened, I have learned more about myself than I ever have in my life, because now I don't have to worry about succumbing to the social pressures outside my house. I have never been happier, or have had more meaning in my life.

For the person who went into solitude and came back to mankind to share what he learned but couldn’t teach anyone, I think I finally understand. I’ve been meeting more people who have been going through “awakenings”. I can’t talk about things like this to someone who watches the Kardashians 24/7, but I can with those who are awakened and/or are awakening.
By awakening, I suppose I mean moving towards a higher state of consciousness.

Aside from occasionally talking to my parents and grandmother, ive spent the last three years completely alone. this has changed everything about my life. i was an extremely depressed drug addict and fashion designer before this. all that mattered to me no longer does. i dont care about clothing or anything material. i dont spend money or do drugs. my interests now are MY interests and not those of the people around me. i wasnt aware of how much impact my environment affected me throughout life. it almost feels as if i were lied to though thats not the case. im not recommending anyone to spend this much time alone. but for me, it saved my life.

For the most part, I lead a quiet and introspective life. I have no problems socializing, sometimes I attend events I am invited to, but by and large, I spend most of my time by myself.
However, being a solitary person in a city like the one I live in (Barcelona) is complicated, what with the constant tourists and hip young people doing noises all the time. I want to move someplace else quieter and colder, perhaps by the Atlantic. I don’t care about making any new friends or having any relationships anymore. I’m seriously considering moving to a town filled with old people. I already have many of their qualities, and I appreciate the silence and the quiet.

Solitude is the key if you do it right. There’s a realization when you’re out alone in the expansive silence of a mountain summit that you are never completely alone. Being away from society enables you to takes your mind back and truly connect with what’s around you. You uncenter to recenter. There’s too much in our smart phone culture that pats you on the back and reenforces petty ego attachments. That ultimately weakens people and makes them dependent on a very superficial form of tribal validation that can’t see much further than image. You can be popular or you can be interesting.

I've lived in harsh solitude. Now I live what would be described as comfortably with a woman and child. Both situations have pros and cons, and I'm always thinking about the pros I don't have - but self-interest is normal. My heart belongs to my daughter, so I'm happy where I am now. My mind needs solitude most of the time. I just don't connect with anyone around me so I'd rather entertain myself. People seem to thrive on manufactured stress. I don't get it.
I could go on on but I'd probably cringe at my own words. It's hard to talk about stuff like this without it being misrepresentated as egocentric.
