Episode notes
Experiencing isolation can stem from trauma, and while some find temporary relief in solitude, it is not a sustainable or admirable state. True growth and contribution to the world occur through connections with others, and excessive isolation can hinder this process. Preferring loneliness can indicate an inability to cope with interpersonal dynamics rather than a personal achievement. Distinguishing between productive solitude and damaging isolation is crucial; the former enriches life, while the latter detracts from it. Comfort with discomfort in social settings is ultimately more beneficial for personal development.
