Lonerism Is The Future!

Lonerism is the future.

I know you're thinking what is lonerism? According to urbandictionary.com. "Is a state of being alone embraced by schizoids, weirdos, outcasts, loners, and geeks." Although the description of the word is accurate.

I would like to explain why the growth of lonerism will continue to grow and evolve in our changing world. The original idea popularized by Tame Impala's lead singer & songwriter Kevin Parker.

According to Parker "It's more about feeling alone in a crowd of people rather than just being lonely." As an only child, this similar idea became ingrained in me. I had to learn to rely on myself to get things done without the help of a brother or sister in the home. Yet, having a large extended family of cousins, aunts, and uncles.

I would often become quieter due to the many loud personalities of my relatives. Even then, I would notice the difference in my personality when I wasn't around them. Don't get me wrong, it's not their fault. I love them. I always enjoy spending time with them. Yet, I also know that's where the lonerism feelings started to take shape.

Over the many years since childhood, I've become more accustomed to my lonerism nature. Through the loss of my mother, a failed marriage, and two beautiful children. I've had many great experiences in my life.

Yet, there were many times, when I felt that I didn't fit in, which is strange for me. I am a friendly person who enjoys meeting people, traveling, and having a good time.

I know it sounds like a contradiction, but in these times, I thought if I move to this new place. If I reached this certain goal that I could lose this unusual feeling. From my past experiences of using self-reliance. The idea of lonerism has become an interesting idea on how to view the world.

As referenced by Mr. Parker it's "the feeling of being alone amongst a large group of people." When in a mass of individuals, a person suffering from lonerism can feel isolated and nervous. The sense of self decreases as they analyze other individuals enjoying the moment.

Self-loathing sets in. The confusion of dealing with your emotions ruins any enjoyable experience. As the world has adapted to the "new normal". Lonerism has quietly grown among humans.

Social distancing, staying at home and fearing when a person sneezes or stands too close to you. Have laid the foundation for the lonerism revolution to begin.

If you're not sure about joining us.

Think about this, once we can stop wearing masks. Returning to mass gatherings such parties, concerts & sporting events. Many people will face this troubling issue without knowing it. From my experiences, the feeling of loneliness can hit you most when among other people.

I'm not a psychiatrist or mental health professional. Yet, I predict these types of issues will become more common. As we adjust from the constant reminders of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As an advocate for lonerism. I am taking a proactive approach to help the masses. To understand why these feelings occur at certain times. Self-awareness is a powerful force when a person understands the true nature of who they are. One positive from this past year of reflection. I finally found what are the underlying causes of these weird feelings.

More importantly, I learned that it's okay to enjoy solitude. It's nothing wrong with feeling uncomfortable around other individuals. You're not a weirdo for having these thoughts. Don't judge yourself for it. Instead of beating yourself up or remaining confused about it.
