Why Isolation Destroys MENTAL HEALTH.
the more you think about yourself the more miserable you are we’re so social that you can take the most antisocial human beings imaginable so Psychopathic criminals and you can punish them by putting them in solitary confinement that’s how social human beings are and so your mental health is way more dependent on your nesting within a social structure than on your say the internal coherence of your belief systems it’s more like does anyone like you do you have any friends do you have anyone that loves you
You weren’t meant to do life alone.

In my opinion, loneliness isn’t necessarily a bad thing in today’s world. Of course, to some extent, we all need to share our emotions with others, but in certain situations, solitude can also contribute to personal growth—especially in youth when there’s plenty of time to learn new skills, explore different arts, and develop oneself.
I believe that someone who truly loves themselves can enjoy their own company and find ways to make good use of their time. As people age, their children grow up and life naturally becomes quieter. At that stage, knowing how to manage time wisely is key. If a person is content with themselves and embraces their own presence, loneliness is not something to suffer from—it can actually be fulfilling.
Some are solitary by nature, so you will fail
don't we know our place
I have SUPERPOWERS , cause i love being Sline , 24/7 …. Just never gets old ….. love it ….
Sadly, I'm one of those ,I like being around people, but end up feeling uncomfortable around the crowd, so I choose to be alone most times.
The he hard part is my kids and my grandkids. Telling me that nobody likes me because I tell the truth. I know it's realized.Little ears are listening very sad
I disagree with his opinion only because he is too much focused on negative side of lonelines or isolation, being aware of yourself doesnt make you miserable instead makes u rich in seeing what most people dont see, themselves. First step of building yourself is seeing yourself. Life without seeing your own truth makes you miserable, because you are living in selfish illusion which is based on your own desires and needs. If you are not aware of yourself you will hurt yourself and others at the same time without realising it but when u realise it, its often too late. Being isolated from immature people who dont see deeper is a gift you can give yourself by placing your peace on the first place. Having freedom is not having 100 friends having freedom is staying alone and being happy with that choice, happy with being who you are.
Actually isolation can be a gift….
Isolation is good when it is spiritually focused.
Dude in the last 6 months and beyond ive had about 2 days worth of direct human interaction.
Im not depressed, lonely, antisocial in the crazy sense, im just fine alone or with people depending in the circumstances presented, impossible to punish me with isolation, but you can punish me by making me work as a team with idiots
Life is much easier when you only have yourself and God.
This man is extrapolating his own neurosis into the rest of men
being around people all day makes me wanna do something stupid, i i wanna be alone all day but i need money and need to work outside, it sucks if i ever retire im staying inside all day, and getting everything i need delivered, if it means i go insane or develop schitzophrenia, so be it, but if i have to be around people all day much longer i swear im gonna snap and i just hope to god i wont end up as the leading story on the news one day
Antisocial criminals like psychopaths r actually more social humans that is why they suffer. Stupid logic 😅😂😂😂
We r soo social that even when someone is having marriage sx they would announce it to the world

At one point in my life, I would have agreed with this. After 2019, my eyes opened and Ive seen the true (ugly) part of human nature. I now seek solitude. Ive tried to be part of my family, Ive tried to be part of peoples lives, Ive tried to make friends with people, all to no avail. The silence of their responses is deafening. I have a few good friends, I just prefer the company of animals (and books) now. I dont feel lonely, or sad. Ive accepted that I will eventually die alone, and its ok. I have lived my life trying to be part of others lives, and Im still alone. The price Ive paid is high. Its time to move on and thrive. 😊
I've been Isolated for many years, now I can say I am more sharp than my past, I am more aware, I know myself now and most importantly I found Jesus Christ ☝🏻🙏🏻❤️ so how can I destroy my mental help if God is with me? my faith is in him, I trust him, I surrender myself to him?? you will only destroy your mental health when you focus much on yourself 😊
Being alone is different than being lonely. I lived alone for 6 years (from age 22-28) before i fell in love and got married. But i was never lonely. I enjoyed my own company. Im actually my best friend. 😅
Solitary actually wouldn’t be that bad if they gave you books or video games, or anything to do.
The more you think about yourself the more you understand yourself
If men can master being ok in isolation then they become so powerful they don't need anything
My schizophrenia gets worse in social environments and thats when i end up getting in trouble because people dont understand
This is not true I love Noone Noone loves me thats the way I like it
then why the entire red pill society that formed around people like you glorified the mafia and hustler life, promoted things like going alone, dark and coming back richer
I have no friends and no family. My mental health has gotten worse.. some of us don't have a choice
He asking if i got people who like me or love me, i dont. Your point? How is that my fault
Me, a misanthropic antisocial introvert who lived in the woods alone & isolates myself for fun.
To some people, isolation & solitude is more comforting & inviting than any family member, spouse, child, or warm blanket could ever be. Some people could sit in complete darkness alone in dead silence for hours & the feeling is better than a trip to Disneyland.
I believe many would actually die & kill for this peace.
Imagine, just wanting to be left the hell alone snd for others to mind their damn business.
And they wonder why we hate them.
That is Bullshit. You can definitely be isolated. You need people to survive, not to be happy
I’m sad that we have to be social it would be nice to have a setting that lets mfs see I’m in do not disturb mode.
Im on my 3rd week of isolation. Wotked for my dad for a year and he paid me 100 or 50 here and there. Mind you over 100k was moved through our shop over about 7 months but he refued to pay me i worked 13 14 15 hour days even worked multiple days straight with no sleep. It has completely ruined my self worth it has taken every single thing i have i have struggled to survive the last year. God please help me im rotting away to nothing i dont want to wake up anymore. Someone something please save my life this is no way to live…i havd no one and i have nothing litterally nothing and i have worked so hard. I dont do drugs and i dont steal what did i do to deserve this. Is there a higher force that is testing me and pushing me to the absolute edge. I dont think im going to be able to live this way much longer. I went from making 1500 a week to 100 to 50 every now and again. I knew it was a bad idea theres a reson i didnt speak to him for years. I wish i could go back and tell myself no stop dont do it stay where your at. Ive lost everything including my mind chasing a pipe dream. Ive given all i can give.
HA!—-being alone has brought me great joy——my mental health actually becomes even better the more I get away from ppl——-bars—-work—school—–just ppl that distract you……..NO SUCH THING AS FREINDS IN THIS WORLD.
I am alone. Fuck everything
It destroys me
“When Jesus heard, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place.” (Matthew 14:13)
I believe that promoting the idea that a person must always be in a social environment—and that being alone is inherently bad—is actually harmful. It leads people to think that if they spend time alone, even if they enjoy it, there’s something wrong with them. Instead, it’s far better to learn how to appreciate solitude, to use that time for self-reflection, to confront one’s inner struggles if needed, and to grow stronger and more at peace. 😊
Theres one issue with that sometimes , well being around even more crazy people out in society that can be just as dangerous for your mental health , people at times should be approached with extreme caution , you can function quite well with occasional contact trust me , and if you want to find psychopathic criminals look on here theres thousands of them , especially funnily enough mental experts in mental health , you have to be able to form trust in any relationship whether it be either friend or partner , trying to find genuine people on this earth in this society at this point in time is like trying to find a needle in a haystack 😊 , try creating some societies that are worth a relationship as a friend , to be honest there's so many experts , so many clever people able to help with your mental health problems 😊 could you possibly explain to me why there are so many people who suffer with their mental health , do you think there's any technological reason why there are so many cases 😊 could it possibly be people sat on here looking at screens and experts that may be causing it 😊 possibly the screens that are causing psychopathic criminals 😊 but hey who knows , fuck fake friends theres billions of them 😊 You haven't got any proper social structures that's the problem 😊 your worlds more about entitlement , keep constantly pointing out repeatedly that people have mental health problems particularly on shorts on here repeating the same things over and over may just be classed as brainwashing 😊😊😊
No. Wrong. The exact opposite of right. Other people destroy your mental health. Isolation also destroys your mental health but is less exhausting. There is no solution. Why can't these so-called experts just admit that?
