Why are so many people so afraid of being alone, Brunei. I

think people are afraid to be alone because they don't belong to themselves. And so one of the things that was so crazy to me about this research in these findings was that true belonging is not just about being a part of something, but also Having the courage to stand alone when you're called to stand alone when the jokes not funny, when you don't believe in something, when you have a different opinion, when you're at family dinner and people are saying things that you actually find hurtful when you're called to stand alone and you can't then true. Belonging is very elusive. So your level of belonging will never exceed the level of Courage you have to stand alone, and that was a new thing for me. And so I think I'm at a place in my life right now where I'm not afraid to be alone because I so fully belong to me now.
