Look at you, scrolling twitter, hundreds of followers, super connected. World at your fingertips. 3.7 degrees away from anyone on the planet. Face lit up blue glow in the dim light of your bedroom. And yet, you feel alone. At least some of the time.
“It is to feel your judgments about what you need to be happy.”
I felt such judgments tonight and - having read your article a few times, earlier today - was quickly able to separate myself from the judgments that were saying “something is missing. In fact, there was nothing missing. There was just a judgment that this thing/situation should be other than the way it is. There was a sense of freedom in that moment. This article said something I’ve heard a hundred times in a way that it really sank in. Thank you, Alex.
I love this. I feel better around people and despise myself for this “ defect”. It does seem to be intrinsically built into me and causes me much loneliness. Thank you for such good points.
I just want to ask you though- what about when you really want a hug? Do you suppress/ignore that ache?
