"The highly sensitive (introverted) tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation,
rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves
as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day.
They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions -
sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear."
Susan Cain (Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking)
Alienation (From Misfit to Hermit):
Introversion and shyness are two different things
but I am both introverted and shy.
I was born an introvert.
I am shy as a result of repeated rejection.
(Introverts tend to be misfits and outcasts.)
I became a loner to avoid further rejection.
As resignation is the acceptance of despair,
so isolation is the avoidance of rejection.
These are coping mechanisms.
"It's no good trying to get rid of your own aloneness. You've got to stick to it all your life.
Only at times, at times, the gap will be filled in. At times! But you have to wait for the times.
Accept your own aloneness and stick to it, all your life. And then accept the times when
the gap is filled in, when they come. But they've got to come. You can't force them."
D.H. Lawrence (Lady Chatterley's Lover)

God is a concept that gives people hope

I repeat: God is a placebo.
I don't believe in America.
I don't believe in apathy.
I don't believe in religion.
I don't believe in conformity.
I don't believe in politics.
I don't believe in philosophy.
I don't believe in music.
I don't believe in poetry.
I don't believe in friendship.
I don't believe in family.
I just believe in me.
The one I love and me.
That's reality.
The dream is over.

🧙🏻♂️ I have become a total recluse.
I don't reach out to people anymore
because I'm afraid of them.
The future success of everything I have created
depends entirely on serendipity now.
