Op here. The reason why I made this thread is because I want to share an experience I had yesterday.
>This is what I though it was going to be a 2 days 30km trip through the forested mountains of the Basque country
>Confuse trail so I ended up making very little progress the first day
>Night was miserable
>Due to gear problems, I spend the night wet, cold and uncomfortable
>Having a lot of time for my though, I think about how lonely I feel. I wonder if I choosed the right path on my life
>Once daytime, I feel better and apreciate of beutiful the place I am in is
>So far so good until luch time comes, and I decide to smoke hash
>Sudently start feeling this extreme anxiety
>Im craving human contact, I feel frightened about expending another might there. I think about of scary the world truly is, feel like Im once again that vulnerable child who wouldnt stand for himself
>Realize I just made one third of the route
>I quit
>At least made a little mountain top
I feel defeated but I know that I made the right decision. At the end is about learning from the experience and becoming stronger each day. I still have issues to solve but thats okay.
I will come back
>apreciatIVE of HOW beutiful the place I am in is
Your problem is that you are a manchild.
You need to grow up and un-gay yourself.
i go out to be alone, amongst other things. no one you have to keep entertained or make happy, no one to flake on plans, no one to rush you or slow you down. you just do your own thing at your own pace. i think a lot of people dislike out because they're afraid to be alone, but it's easier for me than being surrounded by people.
also
>smoke hash
moron lmao
They don’t know who doesn’t know the difference between loneliness and solitude.
>So far so good until luch time comes, and I decide to smoke hash
>Sudently start feeling this extreme anxiety
Hurr durr
You either deep diver into the dark and explore your psyche and get used to it or you keep running away and escape from yourself with drugs or other comforts.
>smoke hash
>suddenly magically out of nowhere becomes anxious
you are a child. You shouldn't be smoking that stuff unless you are a fully formed man with actual accomplishments under his belt as well. If you are depressed and uncertain about how your life has turned out and your future, you should be sharpening yourself, not dulling yourself with drugs and whining about being a failure or something
Don’t smoke weed when by yourself you uneducated Black person.
Weed is best shared with good friends after a successful hike. Pic related buddy and I got higher than giraffe pussy, drank a 12er of cheap beer and swam in a river. Was too busy to be anxious.
Solo camping is for thugging it out, you’re supposed to be slightly afraid and you should absolutely be alert because you’re no longer some homosexual tourist getting lit, you’re part of the woods.
This. Basado.
This
is me and while I still agree with your sentiment, I looked more carefully at your pic. I'm not a purist and don't hate on car camping or shorter hikes, but damn dude, you really trekked in store-bought firewood? Why not just chop some shit up? Not like you're in the desert.
Speak for yourself, I light up joints in the woods by myself all the time. But then again I’m not a giant pussy who can’t hang.
>lit
>thugging it out
Oh I see you’re a zoomer that’s why you’re mogged by anxiety lmao
>not a giant pussy
Just a druggie degenerate
About as much as someone who enjoys a beer occasionally is a “druggie degenerate”. You can live like a stinky muslim if you want to, I’ll be over here enjoying myself.
>Once daytime, I feel better and apreciate of beutiful the place I am in is
I hope this bait, otherwise you are literally moronic.
>scared at night
>lonely
>gets lost
>illiterate
>smoke "hash" and get anxiety
How old are you?
Mate, some advice. What you felt the first night and in the morning is pretty much what PrepHole is all about. Conditions and hardships causing this misery which then turns into almost a pride and beauty the next day. I don't think you can appreciate a beautiful morning the same way without having a lonely wet night beforehand. You made the mistake when you smoked hash and decided to bail. Go back out there and do it again right this time. Trust me, one day you will wake up in perfect comfort in your home and wish you were miserable.
True. Even in normal conditions that time when my head is down and I'm drifting off to sleep is lonely and a little scary. Despite years of experience I've never shaken that moment. Yet I keep going back for more, because damn do I feel alive in the morning.
Come out of the closet, you'll be happier. It's 2024, we don't bully gays any more.
>loneliness
never met her
I grab a ewe and hang out in camp with her. In Spring you can grab her foal and she'll follow you wherever.
Found the kiwi
it's just for talking
i would wager that most people go PrepHole just so they can be alone and enjoy some peace and quiet
I go PrepHole to be un-miserable. No, I won't read your blogpost.
nu-out will seethe at this because they don't understand it, but this is the correct answer.
Bring an instrument, with the right tunes you can easily dispel demons and other humans will come find you.
Sounds couzy
One cant really talk about his feelings here
I completly agree with you sir
Yes. But having time to think makes me realize how lonley I am on real life, not just on the mountain
>Yes. But having time to think makes me realize how lonley I am on real life, not just on the mountain
Make effort to change or accept it, read books about how to cope with suffering instead of stewing in your limited frame of mind
You need MORE time to think, not less. There's a reason why you can't just sit and think to yourself for a few days without becoming existential, and it's best found by leaning into the experience. You're not supposed to constantly be distracted by the modern world to the point where you don't know yourself and can't sit still when alone.
Do it again, and find your true purpose through solitude. That's a natural part of existence.
You gotta leave your personal problems in your house man. Just listen to everything else happening out there and realize all the noise is coming from your head.
The Reddit outdoor subs don’t have this kind of winy bullshit. Depressed losers hoping to find a hug box is exclusive to PrepHole (with regards to the outdoors).
Idk man I've never been PrepHole and had any free time at all. There's always some chore to do.
Also get a dog.
There are things to do, but nights are long this time of the year. Specially if i get 4h or 5h of real sleep due to being cold. Thats a lot of time to think
Totally, there are times when I just enjoy the freedom of being on my own and have a great time
Exactly. There are issues I have about myself wich I often ignore being so distracted by daily life. Thats why I know I have to face my fears, because is a healing process. Thats why im going back to the same route
>How do you deal with loneliness
This might be a meme reply, but being on my own is genuinely relaxing.
El Doggo-friend makes things better
being alive involves a lot of dread, pain, loneliness etc.facing these things is very humbling and not usually pleasant but it is real. sometimes doing that will help you make better choices and end up happier, sometimes you just have to learn how to move with the pain. either way it's worth doing.
that said it's not like every outing has to be a meditation on the pain of existence or whatever. there's a lot of little things you can do to make yourself more comfortable. and learning to care for yourself like that is one of the most important lessons taught by going out. so fix whatever's wrong with your gear, lay off the hash, bring a friend or a dog or a comfy book next time. do it out of love for yourself anon!
true
I deal with the loneliness by listening to some tunes or podcast on my headphones, or just the tried and true remedy for loneliness, furiously jerking off.
i used to get lonely, then i went camping with other people and realized it's even worse than being by yourself
>drinking
>loud music
>politics
>drugs
everyone was talking but they weren't saying anything, so now i go alone and just invest my time into spoon carving, "bushcraft" projects and being a turbo autismo about fungus and sketching
I start a fire and enjoy the moment. If I think lonely thoughts it's not too bad because I'm at least outdoors in nature surrounded by God's beauty
Anyone who says opposite is coping or doesn't actually go alone.
Going hiking alone is gay asf u have no one to share experiences with.
Or we've matured past our needy, dependent teenage selves. Maybe you'll understand after you've grown up a bit.
loneliness really depends on your mental state
i live alone in the woods about half the time and often go weeks without seeing another person
sometimes i get really lonely and thats just not good for you
i am lonely when
>bored
>discouraged from failures
>i have something i want to show someone
>i think about some ladies i am seeing/not seeing at the time
>surrounded by people i have nothing in common with
>sick/useless
>in a really shitty situation i don't know how to get out of
not lonely when
>exhausted
>enjoying some kind of cool nature related thing or scenery
>working very hard
>focused on a task or hobby
>fixing things
>walking/traveling by other means
>waking up and starting the day
just figure out what works for you or find someone to hike with
thats frickin idiotic. the whole point is to get out there and face yourself you god damn moron.
what is this a thread for socially awkward teenagers?
>what is this a thread for socially awkward teenagers?
Welcome to PrepHole, newfren. I hope you enjoy your stay.
shit for brains moronic Black person
Already fitting in with the rest of the shitflinging primates here, I see
I prefer being alone.
I've brought women with me before and they never make it far and constantly need to use the bathroom.
>go hiking with dad
>attractive jogger passes us by
>"hey anon when will you bring something like that home"
>don't know how to break it to him that I'm an autistic loser who hasnt talked to a single girl since graduating highschool
>just say "soon maybe haha"
how did you get this picture of me? please stop gangstalking me
Because thats what I seek, anon. I have no friends, my work sucks atm, my family is one big dramafest, and it just leaves me with no peace. Even when I get home I can hear echos of whats going around me to the point where I wanna take a drill to my forehead. The only place im truly at peace is when im in the forest. I love walking, I love not being bombarded with everything, I have recently learnt how to properly take the time to sit down, relax and observe things around me, I can do it for hours now.
>being miserable alone
please, i need to understand, how is this possible?
society, people, work, expectations, noise, stress, traffic, family, """friends""", talking, human interractiond, adapting your routine and schedule to others, public services, constant availability... these are things that makes me and i know for a fact many other aging men feel miserable. so what do you feel is miserable about not having to deal with any of that? what does it give you that you miss?
i simply cannot feel loneliness i just feel happiness.
I may have been evading to post this as this is not a topic I am comofortable talking about, but I did it at least.
I understand, I though like you in the past but Ive become a little bit of a normalgay. I learned to like other people
It was only one that trip that I realize ai might have desper wound than I though. On my daily life I become distracted by the Internet, and all the bullshit daily life chored, but I usually feel an underlying anxiety wich has no concrete cause. It was only by being alone that this pain struck me with all its magnitude. I feel miserable but I didnt even know it
That was a beutiful post anon. Its only by steping out of our comfort zone that we learn to overcome adversity and grow as people. I got to admit that I became used to being confortable the past years
>how do I deal with being alone when I'm doing the thing people specifically do to be alone
Maybe you should take a class at the community college or something instead, I'm not sure PrepHole is for you. homosexual
Deal with being alone? Why do you think I go out in the first place?
man that's a nice spot.
Thanks, that's not even the best view from it either. Off to the right there's a lake about 1000ft lower and a few miles off
Last week i woke up to a little mole in my tent creeping up to snuggle with me. I played with it for a bit and decided to keep it as a pet for my gf. Checked da interwebz that morning and everyone was talking about israeli molemen. Am i spiritually a israelite guys? Named him geronimole
A clear omen anon, you're a israeli shaman now. It's how it works.

>How to deal with loneliness, what are you gay?
Holy based
Some say Based.
Some say Holy.
I say they've never been alone enough to develop their own vocabulary.
Did you know, when you're by yourself you can just make up your own words? You don't even need a standardized language anymore, all you have to do is make noises, the louder the better.
>being lonely is gay, do all this degenerate shit instead
Fricking cringe
Lonliness is a luxry that occurs onlt to people who have too much time to feel it and not enough shit going on to have to focus on that.
Got a wife? You'll hear her forever.
Got a child? Lonliness is subject to any whim.
Got parants who are aged? You will help them out.
Got grandparants? You should make time for them and help them stave off the same.
Got frends? Not me anymore, they're all older and running off to troon out and get mentally ill or they are as busy as I usually get.
Got a home? You can always clean it out and improve on your spaces.
Got a car? Go anywhere that isn't isolated for fren oppertunities.
Got an outside? Go there alone if you WANT to be alone. That's a feature not a bug anon.
You choose how you use your days and if you want people in them, it's not like there's not some obnoxious amount of morons already shitting everything up everywhere. You just have to bring people, go to people, ask people or be there when others show up. It's not that complicated. You got out there and were in a less optimal place and got wigged out. It's normal for people under 25 to be unused to any adversity whatsoever. You are tempering yourself every time you have an experience like this. So keep it up and eventually you will consider this a laughable problem. That's how age and experience works. But it helps to be experiencing a lot of things. Make sense?
So keep going. Alone or not if you get stuck you will be alone in a far worse way than doing stuff and being alone. At least if you improve, strive and try you can insulate and strengthen yourself. Then before you know it, you're 30 and you've done more shit than the average person and very little phaes you because you are the one thing that you need to be, experienced. So keep going out and getting experiences. IF you're moving you're improving and all that.
Sorry there's very little actual advice in here, OP. I know exactly how you feel.
>How do you deal with loneliness while being PrepHole?
I don't go out when I know I'm going to feel lonely. I've done quite a bit of solo backpacking and car camping, and I've hated almost every single second of those experiences. They were almost all for work, and the only things that got me through were podcasts I'd listen to at night until I fell asleep.
I'm fine solo hiking during the day, though. I enjoy my alone time, especially when I have something active to do (e.g., botanizing, birding, photography). If you feel lonely and anxious even on short day trips, I'd suggest picking up some naturalist-oriented hobbies to keep your mind active. Try to identify the plants and animals you see, especially the often overlooked ones.
What you've learned about yourself is very important, though. Listen to that part of yourself. Don't do things that only make you miserable with no reward. There's no shame in that.
i have my wife with me 🙂
This thread is making me want to go out and be alone, away from all the trappings of my life. It's far too cold, grey and miserable at the moment though -- hell, I'll end up feeling like you OP if I go now.
Roll on another 3 months. I can't wait to be laid next to a camp fire next to my tent, completely alone.
your personal loneliness is your own problem, but there are no rules that say you can’t bring electronics to entertain yourself with at night. i bring a kindle, my phone has music and movies on it, or i’ll even bring a portable game console. or just use your headlamp and read a book
