00:00You can be surrounded by a hundred people and still feel completely, utterly alone.
00:09Sometimes, loneliness is not about having nobody around.
00:15It's about having nobody who truly gets you.
00:19As Carl Jung pointed out, it often stems from a quiet fear.
00:24The fear that you cannot communicate what matters most to you or that your true thoughts won't be accepted.
00:34Think about it.
00:36You laugh.
00:38You participate.
00:39You answer when someone asks how you are.
00:43But the things that actually keep you awake at night stay unsaid.
00:51We have all learned to hide.
00:54Not always because we don't trust people.
00:58But because somewhere along the way, we taught ourselves.
01:03Maybe they won't understand.
01:05Maybe I will be judged.
01:08Maybe I am just too much.
01:11And that's the most painful part.
01:13We assume people will react badly before we even give them a chance.
01:20We predict our own rejection.
01:23And we silence ourselves first.
01:26So, we say I am fine when we are not.
01:30If you hear this today, know that connection is not about the crowd around you.
01:36It's about finding safety in being seen.
01:39You are not alone.
01:42You are not alone.
01:42Have a nice day.
