E: Loneliness; the New-Age Epidemic

Feeling off? Not like yourself and rather uneasy? You might want to consider your needs of connection and belonging, as they dictate your wellbeing behind the scenes. Why behind the scenes? Most of humanity wouldn't consider themselves lonely, and we can't blame 'em, why should they. WhatsApp messages at the fingertips, an easy flirt 2 swipes away (let's be realistic here) and so-called connection alllll around the world, so how come we are so disconnected from another? Because it's not genuine, not natural, and a lot of people are afraid of real, deep and authentic connection. In this Episode, we will dive deep into this modern-world problem and what to do about it! Here are the reflective questions for you to already ponder, if you wish. Enjoy, this episode is filled with loads of effects, too many walnuts and the usual fuck-ups. Stay connected, the REAL connected!

Q1: Do you remember a time in your childhood (especially in social situations, school etc.), where you were isolated as punishment for doing something "wrong"?

Q2: Do you spend a lot of time home alone and feel uneasy asking people for their time/a meetup? Is there a link to feelings of shame or guilt?

Q3: Do you believe, it is a sign of strength and novelty to do things on your own? Would you consider yourself strongly independent?
