Breaking the Walls of Alienation

Sometimes you find yourself in a place where hidden tension fills the air and everyone seems wrapped in their own cold defensive shell. In this environment, people rarely meet each other’s gaze, avoiding genuine, lively contact, which only deepens the feeling of alienation and isolation. The problem is not merely the lack of sincere communication but the pervasive atmosphere of distrust, where each individual retreats into themselves like a ship in a dark sea drifting away from reality. Yet, realizing this issue is the first step toward change! By acknowledging the importance of mutual understanding and openness, we can shatter these invisible barriers and create a space where everyone feels comfortable being themselves.

What emotions do you experience when you find yourself in a circle where you aren’t accepted?

When you are surrounded by people who do not accept you, a deep sense of inner tension and detachment can arise. It isn’t just a minor hurt—this circle’s atmosphere is laced with hidden hostility and grim distrust, leading to the impression that everyone around is distancing themselves, closing in on their own worlds. Under these conditions, people are reluctant to make eye contact; their behavior appears detached, as if they are avoiding real communication, thereby intensifying the sense of estrangement and emotional isolation.

"When you enter certain communities, you immediately feel the tension and hidden warfare. People do not look each other in the face. When they cross paths in the corridors, they resemble ships on a night sea. Such communities become closed groups where everyone withdraws into themselves and rejects others." (source: link )
