Why we prefer being alone... despite feeling lonely | Einzelgänger

Why we prefer being alone... Despite feeling lonely People generally agree that seeking close relationships is the solution when suffering at the hands of loneliness. We seek friendships to fill in the empty hole we’ve been experiencing. We join groups and clubs just to be around people – to feel the warmth of a community. But people tend to ignore the miseries accompanying these close relationships. When we consider the pain that goes together with closeness, it’s no surprise that many friendships result in fighting, and romantic relationships often fall apart dramatically. When dealing with others, we risk being betrayed, insulted, and abandoned.#loneliness #loner #alone Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5star for new episodes.
