If Isolation Is Making You Depressed, This Is Your Wake-Up Call
A real masculine man should be perfectly fine being alone and not need the validation of anyone else. Be it friends, girlfriends, even family.
You need to drop that preconceived notion that you NEED anybody besides yourself. This pipe dream is made for beta followers and women.
Strong men, leaders... are the givers not the takers. Leaders are always depended on, never dependent on others.
And maybe it feels shitty at times, but as a leader you gotta fucking deal with it. The life of a man isn’t meant to be happy. A man is only alive when he is facing challenge.
If you need validation to feel good about yourself, you are by definition a follower, because that means you lack the emotional strength necessary to survive on your own.
If you’re fine with that, then that’s fine, go chase validation from others. But if you have any ounce of self-respect, you should use isolation as an opportunity to fortify your frame and become truly fine with being alone.
Know that being 100% fine on your own is the baseline necessary to create the life you truly want for yourself.
It allows you to only introduce the people and things that you truly want into your life, as opposed to tolerating things in your life and allowing them to hinder and distract you from your own vision as a result.
A leader goes out into the unknown on his own and creates his own masterpiece with 100% confidence in himself, and others join him on his mission. He never chases validation. He simply doesn’t need it. His vision is what drives him and defines him.
Work. Create a vision for yourself, set goals to achieve that vision, and get on it. Live for YOU.
Don’t sit around staring at the walls all day like a victimized little bitch. Take isolation to become even more of the fucking prize. No excuses.
And if you ever feel bad about yourself, tell your dumb ass brain to shut the fuck up, because there is NOTHING more worthy of your OWN respect than working for YOU, toward fucking glory. Just because other people aren’t constantly validating you all the time doesn’t mean this changes.
The reason we’re seeing so many people complaining about being alone is because most people still need the validation of others regardless of how much they like to tell themselves they DGAF.
Let this be an opportunity to TRULY stop giving a fuck, and stop needing anything besides YOU and your grind.
YOU DO NOT NEED OTHERS. Don’t lie to yourself and tell yourself you do.
Don’t accept weakness.
