Loneliness: No one sees the world through our eyes
Loneliness can arise when we realize no one sees the world from our perspective, triggering a sense of being alone. Our minds seek explanations and often shame steps in with self-blame, suggesting we deserve to be lonely. Shame weaponizes loneliness by making us feel unworthy of connection.

By acknowledging that loneliness is part of being human, we can shrink the power of shame and embrace solitude as a transformative experience.
