Being alone in the city, "alone in the crowd", feels just as lonely if not more so for me than walking alone in the forest. The latter I expect to be alone, but in the former, I'm surrounded by people but with no connection. It's a strange feeling.
- wenc 3y agoThere’s a new lot coined word “sonder” that describes being alone in the city and observing others and wondering about their inner lives. As a writer this fills me with warmth rather than loneliness. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/sonder#:~:text=(file)-,Verb,waves%20to%20establish%20the%20depth https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/sonder#:~:text=(file)-,Verb...)
- wffurr 3y agoThere's a difference between "being alone" and "loneliness". Being alone in the city or the forest can be great. Being lonely, less so.
