“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”
A quote by Carl Jung.
This is a quote a found today and it speaks volumes to me.
There are times I am at work surrounded by people who are talking about, goodness knows what so I tune out and it becomes white noise. Small talk at functions annoys me and I'm not very good at it. I like meaningful, witty conversations.
Being surrounded by people but not being able to connect with them is extremely lonely. And finding the right person (friend) or group of people that you can share your thoughts and emotions is a rare find. On the journey to find such gems being ones self into vulnerable situations.
So when you are told you are too quite, aloof, unapproachable, snobby - there are two feelings, one of loneliness that no one understands and one of, so what, you don't get me, I don't need you in my life!
