Why I ended up remaining alone

The story

How could I have ended up alone? I tried to do everything right with others. I tried to fit in with others. I tried to do everything to connect, and I still haven't succeeded. It can't be that at this point in my life, I've ended up alone. This is hell for me, from every perspective.

I'm envious of the friends I met, the ones I've interacted with, because they have lives, and I don't. I'm starting from scratch, like a newborn baby, except I don't have the chance to go to preschool. How do people like me want to start over? I'm looking for a new life.

It can't be that I have to settle for the life I had. In fact, I'm alone because I felt that the life I had, its relationships, were ineffective and actually harmed me in terms of my development, in terms of my ideals of taking care of myself, of my spirituality.

I was building a life based on trampling on that, however, I found it wasn't the path, because it didn't allow me to be free, to be critical, to be aware of what was happening in my life. It was like being at the mercy of injustice, of unconsciousness, and there's nothing worse than that. I feel that's why I stayed alone, because I didn't support those kinds of thoughts. My goal in life was to be conscious and to defend that no matter what, and frankly, I'm proud of it.

Unlike when I started writing, I'm happy to be alone if it means keeping a distance from people who don't advocate for consciousness, for self-exploration, regardless of the path I have to take. And I have to say, even in these, therapists have been a hindrance, which is why I also had to keep my distance. To this day, I'm glad to have recognized that both this environment and this help, in the end, only advocated for a defective, half-baked, and non-holistic development.

Without a doubt, many of your lives are filled with girlfriends, friends, and well-paying jobs. However, I need to point out, they are prisons, at which point you have decided to sell your conscience in exchange for conformity, in exchange for receiving defense and a position of power by following a trend in which other people are also involved, and not being alone when faced with a situation. Of course, all of this is based on not believing in yourself, and it's just the opposite; it's the starting point I want for my life.

Indeed, being alone, unlike in your case, which means having deliberately disconnected from relationships, in my case represents the constant reinforcement of my belief in myself, as a starting point, to safeguard my life. Without a doubt, this prevents me from being attentive to others. I will be attentive when there are commitments, but in the meantime, I won't. It's interesting to have them, but you also have to admit that they are out of your control, and they are better when they happen spontaneously.

I feel sorry for myself for reaching this point of remaining alone solely to strengthen my spirituality and allow life to move forward completely naturally, allowing it to be contemplated as such. Creating artificial moments is precisely covering up those spiritual points that need to be worked on, and that's what I don't want; I need to develop them in order to achieve this goal with spirituality. Now I understand why I have the life I have.

It must be said, in the midst of this accumulation, which indeed pressures and makes one feel overwhelmed, many take advantage of it to make suggestions, which is simply a way of taking advantage of a development of ideas, a boiling point of ideas, to gain a follower. This is an attack on their development, on their individuality.

I get you're feeling frustrated by the whole "trying to fit in" experience, but isolating yourself completely might not be the best approach; Connections, flawed as they may feel sometimes, play an integral role in personal growth and self-discovery. It's understandable you're valuing spirituality and self-exploration, but maybe consider that relationships don't inherently trap consciousness—they can actually help expand it. Balance can be key in nurturing both independence and connection, without compromising your ideals. Just a thought, though!

It seems like you're choosing isolation as a means to preserve your spiritual journey, but don't you think it's a bit short-sighted?!! You claim relationships stifle consciousness; how about considering that they might actually enrich it?!!! You've discarded opportunities for growth because of a perceived notion that they're restrictive—could this be hindering your progress more than aiding it?? While solitude offers reflection, interaction fosters learning and adaptation. Maybe you're misinterpreting their potential benefits!! Just something to ponder. 😊

your commitment to personal growth and spirituality is commendable, but have you considered the possibility that isolation might limit your self-development? while you mention relationships as a "prison," they can actually serve as a catalyst for gaining new insights and fostering emotional resilience. interactions are not always deficit-based; they can be vital for honing critical thinking and developing empathy. you seem to prioritize total independence, but how do you plan to balance this with the undeniable benefits of human connection? sometimes it's not about starting from scratch but rather evolving with what you have 🙂

seems like you're really valuing your solitude, but have you thought about the idea that "no man is an island"? 🤔 you say relationships and connections are trapping your consciousness, but maybe they're just misunderstood opportunities for broadening your horizons. sure, keeping a distance might allow for introspection, but interacting with others can seriously boost your personal growth too. you mention "creating artificial moments" is not your thing—what if those moments lead to genuine connections? give it a thought; it might surprise you!
