Hiding

I know that there are a lot of times that I would like to hide from the world, and then there are the times that I want to hide from myself. Maybe trying to explain both feeling is something that I need to try and do. Hiding from the world and hiding from myself are both different things, but in some ways there are similar things. All I can say is that you need to listen to the person to figure out what they are wanting and needing.

Hiding from the world

For a lot of us, there are times that we just want to hide from the world and deal with our own emotions and feelings. It is hard to try and explain some of those feelings and thoughts, but we need the time to step away and deal with the thoughts that are bouncing around in our own head. I know that for me, hiding from the world means a chance to spend some time just going through the ideas and thoughts that are in my own head and not caring what anyone else thinks about them.

Hiding from the world is simple because it means that you need the time to sit and work through everything that you are thinking without all the other distractions. Hiding from the world is basically just sitting and losing yourself and working through everything that is important to you without letting anyone or anything interfere with your thoughts or feelings.

Hiding from myself

For a lot of us there are times that we just want to hide from what is bothering us and that means hiding from ourselves. Yes, it is hard to explain what that really means, but in simple terms it means just getting a break from all the different thoughts and ideas that are bouncing around in our own head. I know that I have had times when I want to try and explain this, and the simple words are just that I want to hide for me. I start to feel very overwhelmed with everything that I want to do, and I am not sure how I can handle everything.

Hiding from yourself can be such a challenge because you aren’t able to escape from all the different thoughts and feelings that are bouncing around in my own head. I know that there are times that I would like to focus on my own feelings and figure out the journey that I am on, but other parts of me won't just get in the way. Hiding from yourself is such a journey and no matter how hard you try, it is going to be difficult to move forward.

Hiding

When someone says that they want to hide from the world or hide from themselves, you need to listen to them. It might not be easy to figure out, but what they are basically saying is that they need some time to figure out what they are going through or thinking, and they don’t need the distractions from the world around them. It might be a few minutes or a few hours, but you need to understand that being able to give them that space and time is very important.

We all need some time when we can figure out what is bothering us and what is making us feel overwhelmed. Using the words hiding from yourself or hiding from the world might define what you are feeling, but then there are times that even those worlds don’t really work. We all need to know that everyone in our world need time when we can step away from everything else, and that is what is the most important.

 

Hiding from the world

I think a lot of us have times when we just want to hide from the world and do our own thing. I know that I have said that quite often through the pandemic and everything else that has been going on in our world. Hiding from the world for me means a chance to sit and do the things that I love doing without all the other distractions that I normally deal with.

What does hide from the world mean to you?

-        Is it sitting somewhere and just losing yourself in a television series or television program where you can sit and do nothing?

-        Is it curling up with a good book or series of books and sitting and reading and losing yourself for hours in them?

-        Is it going for a long walk where you can find the space to get away from all the different sounds that we deal with each day?

For me, hiding from the world can be a few different things, and it depends on the day and my own mood. Here are some of what hide from the world means to be:

-        Sitting and curling up with one of my crafts and not dealing with any of the social media or emails that are coming in and wanting my attention.

-        Finding a place where I can sit and watch people without having to interact with everyone. I just want to sit, and people watch.

-        Going for a nice drive where we are spending time without all the other distractions that seem to get in the way. We normally will do these drives without the radio on, and we also avoid checking our devices for messages for a while.

-        Sitting and listening to some enjoyable relaxing music with my ear buds in and not being able to hear what else is going on around me. Having some noise-cancelling ear buds has made a huge difference, as it gives me a way to sit and not hear all the other sounds.

-        It is sitting by some water and watching the movement of the water and seeing the birds and maybe even the fish.

Hiding from the world is what I can sometimes do, and it doesn’t have to be very long. I have found that sometimes even escaping from the chaos of the world around me for 10 or 20 minutes can make such a big difference. For everyone, the definition of hiding from the world is going to be different, and you must understand that each person needs their own time and space.

I have been sitting here writing this while listening to some relaxing music with my ear buds in. Sure, it is partly my escape, but it is also a way that I can focus and get some other thoughts out of my head without the distractions from the rest of the world. If you need the time to escape or hide from the world, understand that you aren’t odd or different.  You just require the time to recharge your own personal batteries or maybe just even yourself a bit of time to clear your head from all the surrounding sounds.

Hiding from the world

 This is a phrase that you will hear from a lot of people right now.  I just want to hide from the world and forget about what is going on.  This is so much easier said than done.  To hide from the world, you would have to basically turn off all the contact with the outside world for a while.  Yes, that means no radio, Twitter, Facebook, news, etc. and that would be a challenge nowadays.  Even the simple task of going to the store to pick up something means that you aren’t hiding from the world.

I know that when I say that I want to hide from the world, I am saying that I just need a bit of a break from being overloaded with everything that is happening outside my area.  I have been able to do that sometimes simply by putting on an audiobook and not looking at social media for a while.  It doesn’t take long before you start to feel better, as that bit of a break is what we all need.  Yes, we take that break and hide from the world when we are sleeping, but there are days when just tuning out for a bit helps so much.  It is a means of refocusing and being able to get things done that you would like to do.

When I hide from the world, I am also trying to do something to relax.  Yes, you can hide from the world while working, but being able to sit and forget about everything other than the project that you are doing does feel good. I normally have some projects that are simple to do for these times when I just want to do nothing, but I also want to see something accomplished.

Yes, we all hide from the world a little, and some more than others.  Being able to sit and do something without knowing what is going on in the world even for a couple of hours is a nice break.  We all need some recharge time no matter who we are, and taking a break from what is happening around you can really help.  I know that for me, I try and spend a bit of time at the end of the day avoiding social media as it means that when I finally go to bed, I am not thinking about everything that is going on in the world.

Remember, hiding from the world for bits of time isn’t bad, and no one should tell you that you can’t do this.  I am now going to go and hide from the world for a couple of hours and listen to my audiobook.
