"La soledad no proviene de no tener personas alrededor, sino de ser incapaz de comunicar las cosas que te parecen importantes."
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
Feeling lonely isn't just about being by yourself without other people. It's more about not being able to talk to others about what really matters to you. Imagine you're in a room full of people but can't share your thoughts, dreams, or worries with anyone. Even though you're not physically alone, you still feel isolated because nobody understands or listens to what you find important. For example, consider a student who moves to a new country. They might be surrounded by classmates and teachers every day, but if they can't speak the language well enough to express their feelings and needs, they feel very lonely. It's like being in a crowd but feeling invisible. To prevent this loneliness, try to find at least one person you can connect with deeply. Share your true thoughts and feelings with them. If you’re having trouble, practice listening to others first; this can help build a stronger bond over time. Connecting with others in a meaningful way can make your world feel less lonely, no matter how many people are physically around you.
