Episode notes
In this reflective episode, I explore the subtle yet profound difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Using the metaphor of swimmers in the same pool, I examine how these two states occupy the same space but create entirely different experiences. I share insights on the "relationship carousel" many people ride to avoid facing themselves, the paradox of feeling isolated in crowded rooms, and why adding another person to your life doesn't automatically cure loneliness. This episode will help you recognize whether you're experiencing peaceful solitude or painful isolation, and how developing comfort with being alone actually creates the foundation for meaningful connections
