Walk Alone Like a Lone Wolf: Brené Brown on Courage and Vulnerability

Over the years i have explored many philosophies and religions and listened to countless talks and viewpoints, but it all never quite made sense to me. This video however talks so beautifully of timeless and important truths in a way i have never heard before and the timing of me finding this video or it finding me , is perfect . This video resonates deep within me and is a life changer for me. Thank you.

God, a good editor could have shortened this to 5 minutes.

Thank you sooooooo much!!!!
I love this ❤❤❤

A lone elephant . The male elephant . The lone wolf will become a pack leader .

❤️❤️❤️

It heightens senses

Thank you so very much. I didn’t even begin this journey at 80. Now this helps me to better appreciate the journey I have taken.

I don’t want to belong. I love my solitude. Dissed by Family sent me out on my own. I thank them. Definitely strength in being our own advocate. Thank you so very well said.

Lone wolves 🐺 are the chosen ones...we try and try yet we just don't fit in, we can a play a role until we lose ourselves and again find ourselves alone;
often get misunderstood so we depend on our own strength to seek our own understanding. Many of us also feel more lonely in groups of the wolf pack; so we drift into our aloneness where it's peaceful and less lonely

So so good!!!!!! Thanks 🙏

"My alone feels so good. I'll have you only if you're sweeter than my solitude " ❤

Alone and loneliness are NOT the same thing. Society tries to convince us over-and-over that we are "tribe" or "pack" animals. Yes-and-no. The leader of the pack is often alone as is the spiritual leader of the tribe.

Love this ❤❤❤

You know only lone wolf walk alone when they are about to die.

Just because a person is alone does not mean they are lonely .I would rather be free than to conform to a groups expectation.

This chick is total blowhard.

Thank for this video!

Brene Brown I ask this question in sincerety. How often/how long do you spend in solitude? I apprecuate your information but it would mean more to me if you talked about your experiences with this subject. For example, I have always had the practice of taking one "quiet day per week" where I am alone and away from people and technology. Sometimes I do this for weeks. You seem like a very, very busy person with time spent with family and a career. How do you fit solitude in?

Thank you for validating my journey and for helping me discern isolation vs solitude to check where I’m at before making important decisions.❤

I almost cried Brene makes me feel soo understood.

All I can do right now is shake my head. This is so true in my life. I have walked alone with Jesus for nearly 30 years. I have no family or friends that accept me for who I am so I was always rejected. God took me up and now my healing journey to self discovery has been the most rewarding thing but hardest thing I have done. I am getting so much stronger and wiser and I can now see why God wanted me to walk alone with him. I needed to dig deep inside me to uncover the treasure I am carrying.

So close...Aloneness is not loneliness. The willingness to fit in is a non sequential ❤ no need to explain 😎✌️

I have been alone for 23 years. I understand what happiness is.

We are never alone.
God is always with us! 🙏🥰

I am a lone wolf in joy. In peace 🙏✨✨✨✨

Is this all about seeing and working with our ego versus our inner true selves?

I really feel the best gift in life is to have the ability to be alone, and not be codependent on anyone for anything. It’s the ultimate freedom. Some had no choice, others have to learn this. Please pursue this. To be free from the needs of people is literally the path to the higher self. I walk with God, and thats really all we need.❤

This is so me!

I can’t believe how I’ve come across this just has I’m thinking of going alone from a long relationship that doesn’t no longer serve me. This is brilliant and so appt for me right now 😮thank you 🙏

Excuse me but WHAT BS! She’s not talking about taking a walk around the block alone. But when all your support systems are gone at once. Death, abandonment, illness takes people we love away from us. And being alone at 75? No childhood, friends all died, husband dead. What if you know who are , are extremely independent, and never felt repressed by other people or society but being with those you love is your happiness.
What about the 85 year old alone because she didn’t have children, her friends and husband died and she has no one to accompany her to the hospital for procedure s, or help her make Medicare decisions which are complex, or can’t drive or has macular degeneration, so has cognitive issues surfacing.
She is praising those who want and enjoy being alone. But most people want and enjoy the mutual support by a network of friends and family especially today with all the uncertainties of insecure housing, insecure jobs where you can be laid off at any moment. This idealization of being alone is disturbing.
For a day, a week , a month knowing your support people are temporarily gone can be an opportunity for self reflection. But permanently…. they are dead, sick or married someone else.
This podcast just sounds creepy.

I ❤ being on my own, I look forward too transitioning too my next role once I leave this earth.. I have purpose but not entirely here ❤🙏

"...there was hardly anyone I could relate to..."
I have found myself here too. It is nice to meet you. 🌻

Prioritize my own inner compass on route ⚡️🫂💜Thank you

No longer living a life based on the expectations of others. Willing to be brave .Silence is my alibi ⚡️💜

I look to the left and I look to the right and think WTF. Have these people nothing better to do than argue over other people's rights they have no business arguing over? Have they nothing better to do than watch politics 24/7/365? I look to the left and to the right and I see the same exact thing. Walking talking elite class insanity and OCD.
In God I find peace and strength.
I am a lone wolf and about as fiercely independent and disconnected from the system as a person can be. There is a but to it though, I have never forgotten even the lone wolf needs assistance once in a while. As far disconnected as you might think you are you are still connected in many ways. We are connected here on the internet, we are connected in the products we choose to buy, and we are connected when we need medical, psychological, or spiritual help or some other type of assistance. All of that takes pack members for you to receive those services and goods.
You can see it in those who live the most remote and off grid lives and they will tell you this. A healthy lone wolf never forgets it takes help from others sometimes and they appreciate those others.
Be as healthy a lone wolf as best you can.

I love being alone. It probably helps to have a creative drive. It doesn’t take courage. I get a lot done on my own. And I have wonderful friends who are loners, too. We connect to cheer each other on with creative and other projects. You can be a “lone wolf” but not lonely. Luckily, I had a beloved soul mate of 25 years, also, basically, a loner, also a writer and artist, who died in a mountain climbing accident. We gave each other a lot of space to create, because we each needed it (unless we were doing a combined project, like writing books together.) I believe the best relationships are between independent individuals who like themselves and don’t “need” as much as “want” others with whom they thrive - separately and together.

My life right now 🙏🏽

Thank you so much, Brené. This is wonderful. I feel so much more connected to myslef, and am now feeling enabled to be this way.

there is no such things as a lone wolf. we are never alone

This is so true thank you xx

Thank you for those words!

"Walking alone is an act of self respect" ... I love that!

Whole and worthy Not whole unworthy!

So Agree... I have been this Lone Wolf from the age of 2 plus..... and know that Alone is not Lonely❤
Would love to meet you sometime... Maybe if you visit India sometime. Many blessings

I enjoyed your podcast Brene, very inspiring 🤗 Thankyou 🥰

Being at peace from... being OK with walking away from your entire family after letting go of the feelings of guilt and shame that you carried for so many years of wondering,
What's wrong with me? Why don't I fit in?

I have been with self even when around others,never fit into the mold of Society. Have my own style.
