Perhaps I’ve just been asked questions like this too many times. More often than not, when this topic comes up someone inevitably tries to gaslight me. “Oh you interacted with a person at the cafe, you couldn’t actually live without human contact”. “Oh you use the internet, you couldn’t actually live without human contact”. I don’t like people who don’t even know me telling me I don’t know myself. Sure you can argue the definition of alone but you’re splitting hairs. When people talk about being alone they’re referring to a lack of real-time interaction with other humans. Yes I rely on things built by other humans, that has nothing to do with being alone. I quit my job last year and I’ve spent a lot of time alone since then. I don’t get lonely. I don’t crave human contact. I could easily thrive if I never interacted with another human ever again.
