The Art of Being Alone - Loneliness Was My Cage, Solitude Is My Home

Taylor Swift said once, -The scary news is, you are on your own now. But the cool news is, you are on your own now- The fear of loneliness has been injected into our minds since we were kids. We have learned that the kid who eats, & sits alone, and has no friends is pathetic. In every book/movie, the kid with no friends is always featured as a weak character who needs to be saved. No one wants to be seen as a -weirdo- hence, our dread of being alone. We don-t want people to think of us as unwanted or not fitting in with the cool kids. We don-t want people to think that no one chose us. So what do we do? We start becoming like an ideal version of whom everyone loves.
