Chapter 1: Understanding Inner Loneliness

Have you ever experienced a profound sense of inner loneliness? It’s that feeling of emptiness that can arise even when you’re surrounded by loved ones. Ironically, the more social interactions we engage in, the more this sensation can intensify.

How do you handle such loneliness? Do you combat it, ignore it, or seek distractions?

Let’s face it. From an early age, society teaches us that loneliness is undesirable. We're led to believe that having a family, friends, and a successful career will guarantee happiness and fulfillment, effectively shielding us from loneliness. However, what if I told you that you could feel isolated even among supportive people? The solitude of our thoughts and emotions can persist.

There are times when I hesitate to share my innermost thoughts with family, fearing their reactions. It often feels easier to keep my feelings to myself than to hear dismissive comments like, "You have everything. Just relax and enjoy life."

For instance, I often sense a calling to achieve something significant in my life. While I’m unsure of its exact nature, I believe that when the right idea presents itself, I will be ready to act on it—perhaps in my 40s or 50s (since my 30s have already passed, haha). What matters is that it should be something impactful. By the way, this is partly why I’m sharing my thoughts here on Medium.

These are the types of discussions I find difficult to have with friends, family, or colleagues.

In the past, I was troubled by this loneliness, but a pivotal moment shifted my perspective. I began to recognize the potential benefits of these feelings. They encouraged me to delve into my inner world, prompting me to understand broader concepts and identify my true aspirations.

I hope my reflections resonate with you, and I encourage you to consider this perspective:

Embrace your inner loneliness.

Regard it as a unique gift from the Universe!

One of the most significant outcomes of my loneliness has been the publication of my book. I spent considerable time pondering its unique concept, and it was only through introspection that the right idea emerged. I plan to share this concept with you in future writings, so leave your email if you’d like to be notified of my new stories.

My warmest regards,

Lilit
