@marisa Jung nails it. My parents have both passed and I will never get over the feeling of wanting to share some news, event, picture, or just daily things I've experienced.
@Nead
️ this is the closest explanation I've been able to find that reflects how I feel. Nice to know I'm not alone. -

Sometimes it feels like I'm existing in my own little silo for self-preservation.
@marisa Yeah, I've always felt loneliest around people, even friends. When it's just me by myself (or around animals), I feel at peace.

@marisa
... which means vice versa:
The feeling of connectedness does not come from having people around you, but from their interest in the things that seem important to you.So, connecting means finding those people, and being one of those people. Both are required for mutual connection.
It seems that staying curious about others should be the starting point. Questions are such wonderful tools to get an impression about somebody's 'thing'. The rest should come by itself.
