Socially Distant is an exploration into those of us who don’t need other people (that much).

Who are we? Why are we? And how do we get to live in our ‘you must be social!’ society?

Too much solitude? https://t.co/AgQWbcq5mg

Without loners the world would be a lot worse off. https://t.co/7l06KvmAdt

REALLY hate it when people throw that "humans are social creatures" BS at me as some kind of nudge to find friends/a partner.

1. no one asked you for your input
2. introverts are a thing & we dont need your condolences or pity
3. i know i'm human i dont need that reminder stfuuu

🎅 #itschristmas

There’s a bunch of reasons why someone might prefer to spend Xmas by themselves.

“There are people for whom the social pressures & expectations of the #xmas season can prove just as difficult, & be dreaded just as much, as the loneliness experienced by those who don’t want to be alone.” #thisisntloveactually

Spending #ChristmasDaySolo might just be the most wonderful festive gift some of us could give ourselves.

“Even if someone likes spending time with family and friends, doing so at #Christmas can still feel like more of an obligation than a celebration.”

For centuries, female solitude was seen as unnatural and dangerous. It’s no coincidence that wicked witches in folklore are usually depicted as older, childless women living on their own in the woods, far from civilised society.

Please normalize letting people eat their lunch alone if they want and decompressing for 30 min without the pressure of being considered antisocial in the workplace.

It’s not ‘unnatural’ to be a #loner.

"Once I had come across the term #schizoid, I had a whole new frame of reference through which to think about what I had previously just thought of as my ‘extreme’ #introversion."

The socially awkward #asexual is meant to be ridiculed / rejected - not only because they’ve ‘failed’ sexually, but because they’ve failed socially as well.
