Loneliness Vs Solitude

Loneliness is the painful experience of disconnection, longing for love and companionship. Solitude is the nurturing and fulfilling experience of deep time alone and connected with oneself and the larger consciousness system. These are very different perspectives and feelings in the same circumstance of being alone. Introverts may crave time for themselves, while extroverts crave time with others. Renee talks about the vast difference between loneliness and isolation and contentment in solitude.

I've just found your channel. Your talks are inspirational. ❤️

I have listened to a lot of self help and talks, and this has got to be one of my very favorites. I feel comforted and empowered and curious.

I loved this and needed to hear this. Winter has come for me and what started as lonliness is now solitude for me as I reconnect with myself again.

Really good food for thought. I am a socially adept introvert so for a long time was confused as it looks like I'm an extrovert. It wasn't until I realised that I am easily overwhelmed when in a crowd and confusingly that overwhelm feels like lonliness, that i started to explore solitude. I know now that when I don't have enough alone time that things get off kilter. I will listen to this again, it is a very comforting piece. I like the notion of giving space to see what wants to come out. I also am inspired by the seasons analogy as I tend to be extreme - either seeing no one or being out in company all the time. Balance is what I seek! I recently stopped watching TV for relaxation in the evenings and the rewards in sleep, creativity and time are enormous. Thank you for your work 😊

Truly helpful and fun to listen to. Thank you 🙏✨️🙏 so many important questions to ponder and relatable stories. I feel extremely clear after listening.
