Meeting with Yourself: How to Love Your Loneliness

Sometimes you are your own best company. In order to build truly free relationships with others, we must first learn to be self-sufficient and take joy in our own company.

The feeling of loneliness is one of the strongest and most painful emotions, and we are willing to do anything to avoid it. In reality, most adults are socially dependent, hooked on an irrational need for constant communication. Although this form of dependency is the most common, we know almost nothing about it. Who would dare to be alone with themselves, emotionally bare, and face the pain hidden within?

This book is a healing journey. It is designed as a guide for social detoxification, which will help the reader confront their greatest fear – the trauma of abandonment – and contains many useful tips, such as suggesting stopping using other people as a pill to fill the existential void and to replace the lack of self-love. We need to return to our own childhood and reconcile with our inner child. Only then can we become who we are meant to be – our own best friend – and be amazed to discover that we are never completely alone.
