Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Sometimes being alone is awesome. Sometimes being lonely is not awesome.
You know what a lot of psychologists you're saying there
is a big difference between being alone and being lonely.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Correct, absolutely so.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I mean you could you could call it with the
introvert versus the extrovert, you could call it the whatever
you want to call it. So, Gandhi and I were
talking about this article that came out in the New
York Post not too long ago. The headline as psychologist
reveals three major benefits of being alone despite the stigma.
But you know, we do know there is a loneliness
(00:42):
epidemic going on in the world. As a matter of fact,
some therapists are actually prescribing socializing to their patients. This
is what you need to do, get out and socialize.
But being alone a solitude, being alone, being having solitude
time with yourself is a great Do you guys like it, Danielle?
(01:02):
Do you ever get time where you just have peace
and quite just you?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, a lot of time. I mean if I if
I'm not going from my walk with my friend Lisa,
then I'm usually by myself. And that's when I have,
like me, time to just kind of take a deep
breath and on when you need it. Oh, everybody needs it.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Everybody needs what about you? Gandhi?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Oh I love it. I never lived alone until I
moved to Boston. I had always been with my sister
or family or boyfriend or friend. And I was really afraid,
what is this going to be like? I don't know
if I could ever go back to living with someone else.
I love it so much.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, and it's pandemic.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Actually switched a lot of us into that lane where
I spend today. For instance, I have to work out,
and that's it. I have the data myself nice and
even though my my text messages are going to be
bulging and people need this and need that, and well,
I'm gonna just tell everyone just to f off. Yes,
not in a mean way, but I need it. I
(01:58):
need some time to myself way and I'm okay with that. Hey,
So you have Emily here on line eighteen. Lived alone
for three years. The best decision of your life was
to move out of your parents' house. At twenty six,
You've got a studio apartment, moved in, but you just
moved in with your boyfriend after three years of solitude.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
How are you feeling about this transition, Emily, I love it, Honestly.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I always said that I would be way too paranoid
to live alone. I watched way too many like scary
shows and read so many scary books. So it was
definitely a learning experience. But it was incredible. I was
very lucky to have built up a good amount of
savings so I wouldn't with my parents for so long
so that I could afford to live alone, because it
(02:41):
is incredibly expensive to do so, but I wouldn't change
it for the world.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It was.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
It gives you so much growth.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It really does, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
In this article they say, look, there's also this the
culture's deficit view of solitude is a thing where a
lot of people think, well, you're living alone, all poor
thing wrong with you. Well, it's this type of thinking
people desiring to be alone. People think it's unnatural first
to want to be alone and unhealthy. And you may
have some friends who you do know for a fact
(03:12):
they need they need to be socializing with some people, but.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I don't know. So when you were alone, what do
you miss most about being alone? And living alone?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Honestly, just being able to do whatever I want, whenever
I want.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I can.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
I didn't have to. I don't want to say answer
to anyone, but I didn't really have to explain anything.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yes, exactly, you can.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You can connect with you, You connect with how you feel
about things right, your emotions and creativity. It goes on
to say in this article, if you are constantly hearing
static from someone else in what they need for you
to do for them, in the in the relationship, and
in the in the household, and this and that, then
you really don't have any time it's been in recharge
(03:58):
for yourself, right.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I'b truely.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I think independence is incredibly important for people, and unfortunately
these days, a lot of people don't get it or
they're too scared of it. And that's how I was.
So it kind of pushed me out of my comfort
zone and forced me to learn a lot more about myself.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I think some people are scared about being alone with
their thoughts as well, Like you know what I mean,
Like if you're with other people, you don't have to
just be by yourself and think about things, Like if
you ever thought the people you're distracted all the time,
you know.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But as nervous as you are about being with your thoughts,
I mean, those are the thoughts you should probably.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Be listening to.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, one of the benefits that the article talked about
was how important it is for your self regulation as
far as living alone, because typically when you are with
other people, there are so many distractions to take you
out of whatever that thing is that you're feeling. But
a lot of times we really need to sit with
that thing that we're feeling to get past it, to
analyze it, to see how can I learn from this?
(04:55):
And when you're by yourself, they claim, people are much
better at regulating emotion and when you live alone.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Wow, look at all the texts that are coming through.
So many people are responding to this. Emily, listen to this.
The Perston says, alone for seventeen years, love it never
feel lonely. That's a foreign concept to me. Yeah, I
have to retire from the military. I lost all those
people around me, and I suffer from loneliness daily. This
person says, so again, being alone and being lonely are
(05:22):
two different things, you know, and you have to sift
it out and recognize which is which. And listen, Emily,
you're now rolling into this relationship with your boyfriend living together,
are you going to try to find ways to still
be alone?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Absolutely. We have certain nights out of the week where
we just do our own thing. He's off with his friends,
I'm off with mine, or I'm all alone at home,
or he's alone at home, and so we definitely still
make time for ourselves.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know a lot of people are texting in about
how they miss being in relationships, therefore they're lonely.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
There's got to be a.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Great way to be in a relationship and getting everything
you need, all the benefits from the relationship, but still
you have your time alone and that's I guess that's
the challenge a lot of people face. Hey, listen, thank
you for listening to us, Emily, and best of luck
with your uh well with your future of being alone
with a boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Take care, take care.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Interesting call online nineteen Jay up in Syracuse lived alone
for two years after his divorce. Now you're getting back
into the relationship role again. You're coming. You're kind of
finding it hard not to have your space anymore.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Right, Yeah, good morning, guys. Uh, you know what it
is after being living with somebody for twelve years and
then going to your own space, you can become selfish.
And it's sad to say that, but it really it's
so nice because if you're your own person again, there's
no stresses of anything else. And now turning it around
(06:58):
and starting to get into a relationship and kind of
living with somebody part time, you find yourself kind of
wanting that alone time a little bit, to come home
and drop your clothes and PLoP on the couch for
a few hours and not have any stress or oh.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, wow, drop and PLoP you miss it?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, you don't have to say if you want to
watch The Bachelor and she wants to watch something else,
or you know what I mean, then you know there's
no argument because you know, when you're by yourself, you
can get to watch any damn thing you choose, right,
So I have a question about that.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Then, for everybody that's in a relationship and lives in
the same home, if you want to watch The Bachelor
and he wants to watch golf, yeah, why can't you
just go in your room and watch The Bachelor while
he watches golf.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Not everyone has two TV's, but for the people that.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Do, everyone has a phone.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Now, I guess you can. I guess you can. But
it's like, I don't know. I think it's just like
the argument. It's just nice to have the argument.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Oh sounds glorious.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I'm very lucky in my house because we agree on
most most television, which is great. But there's a lot
a lot of people I know that don't want to
watch sports like you said, and the other does. I
don't know, they figure it out.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I guess yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
See, like I have no problem if if you know,
Brandon is visiting and he wants to watch something that
I don't, I'm like, please watch it. I'm not going
to watch this, and I'm not upset at you at
all for watching it, but I don't really want to
watch it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
But I think, also, you know what if you're not
together all day, right, and you only have this little
piece of time that you are together, like I know,
at the end of the day, Sheldon and I have
a little piece of time and like I want to
have a glass of wine and watch TV together. If
that is separation, then what time are you spending together
because he's watching that and you're watching that. So maybe
I have to compromise every now and then and.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Watch something so unpopular opinion. I'm gonna say this, I
don't enjoy quality time as watching TV. I like to
do something with someone like let's go for a walk,
let's go out to eat, let's do yeah, let's cook,
let's do whatever. But I like with Jay, I feel
like there is a healthy compromise in there with what
you're doing, and I think that you shouldn't do something
that then makes you resentful of the other person because
(09:00):
you feel like you're giving up. I know you're feeling like,
maybe I'm being a little selfish because I don't want
to do these things. But isn't there a balance in
there somewhere?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Well, I think it's like work life balance is the
same with a relationship. I think you need to have
a good balance of your own time and good balance
of time spent together, actual time spent together, not just
hanging out. I think doing doing things and actually building
a relationship is another thing. Yeah, so an adjustment.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
The twelve year relationship you had before you're divorce obviously
not based on these rules of living. So now you
know that's that's the whole point of going from one
relationship to another. You learn from the one that didn't work,
and now you're applying what you learn to this one.
And obviously I'm making assumptions here I shouldn't. Obviously you
(09:50):
didn't have quality time for yourself in your last relationship.
And you know, being alone isn't always about physically being
with someone. It's also not having them in your head
all day long. You know, for instance, you know Alex
and I don't live with each other five days a
week or seven days a week, but there are days
where you know, I've got to get this done for
(10:11):
him or we I got to plan this trip for
the two of us, or this, and that he's still
in my head.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Therefore I'm not alone. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, I don't know, right, But for scary for instance,
you and Robin have the same sort of the same
relationship I have with Alex.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
We do, and I think you only have like three,
like three three days a week you're with each other.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
I say much, sometimes less, But I gotta say I
do love living alone because I can I'm doing making
my spontaneous decisions with my friends. If I can pick
up and go whenever I want, I don't have to sacrifice.
We don't get into fights, which has kept the relationship
alive all these years. I think that's what contributes to
the longevity of the relationship, the fact that absence makes
the heart grow fonder and we you know, we're not
(10:48):
in each other's faces constantly.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I also think if you live with somebody and you're
always with them and you do need your time, the
other person shouldn't get angry at all because everybody needs
their time. Everybody needs, like to take a step back
and take a breath. So it's not that they don't
want to be with you all the time and spend
time with you, and said, you know, they need their time,
like you should take your time.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
You know in a world yes, like God to.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
You, you and Brandon, this is a long distance relationship. Yeah,
so it's the best of both worlds for you if
that's what's.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Right for you. Guys.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Absolutely, I enjoy it. I like space. I enjoy the
time that we're together because to me, it feels like
we're more intentional about the things that we do because
it is a limited time together. But also if there's
something that he wants to do when I'm there, I
have no problem with him doing that thing. I think
a big part of the downfall in relationships is people
(11:42):
being way too codependent and having to do everything together.
So he wants to go out with his boys and like,
you know, smoke a joint and do whatever they want
to do. I'm happy for him to do that. I
don't want to do that, but I'm not resentful at
all that he wants to go do it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Here you go, Well, look all the best to you, Jay,
And you know, what you called as being selfish is
probably not that bad of a thing, so roll with it,
and it may be it may be the best thing
for both of you in this relationship.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
So you know, roll with it. Do do what your
gut in your brain tell you to do.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
You twelve years married, you learned, You learned how to
how to go find the life you're happy with.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
So go find that you deserve it. And thanks for
listening to us. Thanks take it easy. There you go West,
just thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
The twelve year relationship you had before you're divorce obviously
not based on these rules of living. So now you
know that's that's the whole point of going from one
relationship to another. You learn from the one that didn't work,
and now you're applying what you learn to this one.
And obviously I'm making assumptions here I shouldn't. Obviously you
(09:50):
didn't have quality time for yourself in your last relationship.
And you know, being alone isn't always about physically being
with someone. It's also not having them in your head
all day long. You know, for instance, you know Alex
and I don't live with each other five days a
week or seven days a week, but there are days
where you know, I've got to get this done for
(10:11):
him or we I got to plan this trip for
the two of us, or this, and that he's still
in my head.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Therefore I'm not alone. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, I don't know, right, But for scary for instance,
you and Robin have the same sort of the same
relationship I have with Alex.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
We do, and I think you only have like three,
like three three days a week you're with each other.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
I say much, sometimes less, But I gotta say I
do love living alone because I can I'm doing making
my spontaneous decisions with my friends. If I can pick
up and go whenever I want, I don't have to sacrifice.
We don't get into fights, which has kept the relationship
alive all these years. I think that's what contributes to
the longevity of the relationship, the fact that absence makes
the heart grow fonder and we you know, we're not
(10:48):
in each other's faces constantly.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I also think if you live with somebody and you're
always with them and you do need your time, the
other person shouldn't get angry at all because everybody needs
their time. Everybody needs, like to take a step back
and take a breath. So it's not that they don't
want to be with you all the time and spend
time with you, and said, you know, they need their time,
like you should take your time.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
You know in a world yes, like God to.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
You, you and Brandon, this is a long distance relationship. Yeah,
so it's the best of both worlds for you if
that's what's.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Right for you. Guys.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Absolutely, I enjoy it. I like space. I enjoy the
time that we're together because to me, it feels like
we're more intentional about the things that we do because
it is a limited time together. But also if there's
something that he wants to do when I'm there, I
have no problem with him doing that thing. I think
a big part of the downfall in relationships is people
(11:42):
being way too codependent and having to do everything together.
So he wants to go out with his boys and like,
you know, smoke a joint and do whatever they want
to do. I'm happy for him to do that. I
don't want to do that, but I'm not resentful at
all that he wants to go do it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Here you go, Well, look all the best to you, Jay,
And you know, what you called as being selfish is
probably not that bad of a thing, so roll with it,
and it may be it may be the best thing
for both of you in this relationship.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
So you know, roll with it. Do do what your
gut in your brain tell you to do.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
You twelve years married, you learned, You learned how to
how to go find the life you're happy with.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
So go find that you deserve it. And thanks for
listening to us. Thanks take it easy. There you go West,
just thinking about it.
