Let us wander through the Thesaurus and find some ways to self-isolate :
DIVIDED
You live apart, split from your friends, by yourself, cut off from your companions.
You are desolate, detached, disconnected, discrete and disunited.
You are different, divergent and probably divorced, maybe more than once.
You feel empty, estranged and friendless.
You feel left behind, the lone twin, separated and single.
You feel as if you must always be solo and unaccompanied.
SPECIAL
You are always abroad, never at home, alienated and detached.
You feel distinct and distinguished by being exceptional and exclusive.
You are a hermit - inaccessible, individualistic
You are special - matchless, peerless and opinionated,
You feel ostracized, outcast and remote and shunned,
You are solitary but superior, unequaled and unrivaled
You are travelling light but unattached, without ties
You are unique, untypical, and unusual - some may call you vain.....

DISCONNECTED
You are aloof, keeping people at arm's length
You are cut off for everyone, disassociated and distant,
You are free, far-off and independent
You are inward-looking, insular and introverte
You are an isolate, living like a lone wolf
You are remote, removed, separate, apart from others
You are single, a sole survivor, unaccompanied and unapproachable.
Which one are you?
I feel like I'm a combination of all three.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, and the theory is that you have created that sense of isolation to keep your Dream alive......
ReplyDeletesince I know about my twin I debauch in self-isolation instead of beginning to heal...and I am definetely the "divided and disconnected" type ( I´ve always had long-distance realtionships)...
ReplyDeleteSo self isolation is self sabotage? Interesting. I wonder why you would do that to yourself?
ReplyDeleteI see myself in the third description. What difference is there between the clarifications you made?
ReplyDeleteAlthea, I do that because I hate myself...more than ever before...
ReplyDeleteSelf hate is a function of survivor guilt. Maybe you need to work on that.
ReplyDeleteDear Althea, and how do you suggest working on that?
ReplyDeleteIt's a matter of self forgiveness, for the terrible sin of being alive..... There will be a blog post about this soon, and it's in the healing path e-book.
