A lot of people haven’t actually learned how to be alone. Not in the healthy, grounded way where solitude is peaceful and nourishing but in the raw, confronting way where silence feels like rejection, and stillness feels like abandonment. So much of what people call “connection seeking” is really just survival. It’s the instinct to not be alone at all costs. To avoid that hollow feeling of being unwanted, unchosen, or unseen even if it means self sabotaging in the process.
not who you’re afraid they might be. Something beautiful is trying to be born, don’t block it.
Stay present. Stay open. Stay grounded in what is, not what was.
