I am an individualist. It’s strange to be an individualist, because, for example, when you are a college student, you often feel alienated when almost everyone else has friends or close friends in groups, while you are the only one who enjoys walking and eating alone. It feels alienating almost all the time. And what’s worse, someone tried to gaslight me: ‘Why are you sitting there alone? Come here and sit with them,’ enjoying sitting with people who make me uncomfortable every time. Being alone isn’t loneliness—it’s just the way I feel most at peace. Yet, society keeps questioning it. #IndividualistLife #SoloJourney #Alienation #IndependentMind #CollegeLife #WalkingAlone #EatingAlone #SocialPressure #IntrovertStruggles #GaslightingAwareness #PersonalFreedom
The idea of being a twenty something in today’s world would have me reaching for a white noise generator and two large concert speakers.
Thinking of you.
