It seems I hear more and more people claiming they’re “all alone”.
Being all alone is a bit of a myth. We’re as alone as two drops of water in the ocean.
If we FEEL we are alone it’s because we can’t find the energy to experience others.
Another myth is that there’s nothing we can do about it.
There’s always something you can do about it.
For example. Every day, to the first person you meet in public, say,
“Good morning, HOW ARE YOU?”…
Then look them in the eyes and pay attention to their reply. Let them know it is important to you.
Realising you are not alone is as simple as acknowledging another.
