I hadn’t known that about Nietzsche. Very interesting read. I wonder if I’m lucky sometimes with how well I cope being isolated from the world. Idk. I’m sure it’s common enough but among my current friend group I’ve noticed frequent outings and gatherings of which I have to decline because at a certain point I simply enjoy chilling with the dog at home. I’ve always been that way though. Anyways, nicely written. Thanks for the videos to watch!
I also have a tendency to isolate myself! But when I really look back at all my moments of “isolation” I wonder just how alone I truly was. My phone, for example, is always there with me. I can’t spend longer than a few minutes without entertaining myself in one way or another. It feels as though, no matter how alone I am, there’s always something there to distract me from my predicament. I guess that’s what Nietzsche meant with isolation. Not simply being by yourself, but becoming proactively aware of your thoughts and feelings. To be able to sit with yourself without anxiety and fear
Thank you for this illuminating piece, Shifra. I have been reflecting about your framing of psych(path)ology through the creative process in some of your latest articles, and this really came through on my latest post. I hope you enjoy. https://surrendernow.substack.com/p/bereavement-and-storytelling
